Dr. Damon Raskin – Blind Items: Big Time Baby Daddy
Which actor in a big film franchise is battling baby daddy problems? She was happy to keep her pregnancy and his identity a secret for a few years, but now she wants him to be a part of the kid’s life. Things aren’t going well. He wants to maintain their current arrangement where she gets to dip into his bank vault and he gets to be single and free. [Allie Is Wired]

Blanche’s Guess: I will say Sarah Jessica Parker for the win.
“Rumors came flying over my transom this morning that a certain young – very young – Hollywood talent has been partying like it’s 2013. You know. Drugwise. We’ll leave this tidbit as a blind item for obvious reasons, but just in case you’re wondering just what the beautiful young twerkers are into this year, The Fame Fatale has the intel. It’s not Klonopin anymore; pity. After all, if you’re going to brave the depths of a raging Hollywood house party, it really helps if you’re unnaturally calm. It’s not Adderall, though something tells me that the star I’m thinking of probably wouldn’t kick you out if you showed up with some as a royal sacrifice. But it is aprescription drug. And that drug is…cough syrup, the kind with codeine. Partiers mix it with soda to mask the nasty taste. Dubbed sizzurp or purple drank, per the Los Angeles Times, “Recreational users generally mix two ounces of codeine-promethazine cough syrup with a 12-ounce can of soda to achieve a high. Habitual abusers with a high opioid tolerance have been known to take up to 25 times the recommended dosage over the course of a day.” Yummers. Given how nasty the stuff must taste, I asked an addiction specialist why anyone would ever take a second sip of sizzurp after having a first. “This is a highly addictive drug, on the same spectrum as heroine or cocaine,” Dr. Damon Raskin, a double certified internist and an addiction specialist with Cliffside Treatment Center, tells me. “It’s in the same family as other opiates.” Musician Li’l Wayne has discussed his own experiences with the drug as well as rapped about it in song. “It’s definitely more popular in the rapper and gangster communities,” Raskin notes. But, just to be clear: The person at the center of the latest sizzurp rumor? Not a rapper.” [Zap 2 It]
Blanche’s Guess: Jaden Smith is so thug.
“Politicians have a reputation for being two-faced. Well, this famous politician has only one face… but it’s a new and improved one!
She had the works: blepheroplasty (eye lift), lower face and throat, mid-face lift, and some botox and collagen. It looks good, too! She doesn’t have the surprised eyebrows or overly puffy look that some celebs get when they get work done.
So this politician gets our vote for looking very natural and very fresh. Just the right look for that new job she’s planning on landing!” [Blind Gossip]
Blanche’s Guess: I am not a political junkie, but I hope it is Hilary Clinton. She could use a win.
