Blind Items
A blind item is a news story, typically in a gossip column, in which the details of the matter are reported while the identities of the people involved are not revealed. The invention of the blind item is credited to William d’Alton Mann (1839 – 1920), publisher of Town Topics, who often used it for blackmail.
FYI: All blind items shared on OSOP are from other sources, such as Mumbai Mirror, Mid Day, DNA, Blind Gossip, CDAN, Rajeev Masand, Peeping Moon, India.com, SpotBoye, BollywoodLife and so on.
Note: Blind items are not the gospel truths!
