Blind Items: I Guess, You Guess
Which legendary Grammy winner, after years of sobriety, is back on drugs? This vocal powerhouse, now in her late 50s, is seriously struggling and refusing to check into a treatment center. (Hint: It’s NOT Whitney.) (Blind Gossip)
The Hussynator and coward hunter Dionne Warwick is well into the "Don't Give A Fuck About A Fuck" phase of her life (she's 70), so she's not the second time crackhead behind the blindfold. Natalie Cole is friends (served with a line of crushed sarcasm) with The Real Housewives of NYC's Cuntess LuMann so she would never jeopardize that fake friendship by doing a classless act like rummaging through the gutters for syringes with some juice in them, so it's not her. Sobriety has eluded Bonnie Pointer like a wig that fits has, so not her either.That leaves Chaka Khan?
This well known former reality show contestant is shopping a story to the tabloids and to book publishers that she and other female contestants on her season and other seasons of the show were forced to have sex with this A+ name recognition reality show host if they wanted to remain on the show. At least twice, the host brought another woman with him and made the participants engage in a threesome. (CDAN)
All signs except for the "female" part point to Ryan Gaycrest. It isn't him, because the only kind of threesome involving chicks he gets into is a mani-pedi. So, Jeff Probst? Or Carson Daly? Or Gordon Ramsay?
Which beloved TV sitcom dad is having major issues over his current series and highly anticipated return to prime time? The actor thinks his new comedy series could use some major improvements, which have resulted in huge clashes with the network and its executives. (Blind Gossip)
Improvement = Home Improvement = Tim Allen?
=Vesta Williams died today at 56 from an overdose. She was a powerhouse and sang for Chaka Khan.
So sad :(

The blind is very specific as to age: someone who was born in the early 1950's would fit this. Chaka Khan unfortunately seems to be the only "vocal powerhouse" who is the right age with past drug history. According to recent info, it sounds like she has at least 2 drug addicts in her house, her son and daughter in law. It won't surprise me to hear that she's back on the drugs in spite of temp JOINT custody with her sister for her granddaughter.
Gladys Knight? She's 67! The same age as Diana Ross.
It's Jeff Probst! That guy is HUGE in his nether regions. There were some nude shots of him, and I was stunned.
Donald Trump for the reality show host who forces his hot sausage upon unsuspecting female contestants. Dionne Warwick for one of his alleged victims.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Who are you calling silly cow?
For the reality host, I'm going with Probst; he seems like the type to do something like that. But I really doubt these skanks were "forced". More like, hmm if I do this, I'll last longer. Outlast Out Wit Out Screw the Host.
To the person who said Anita Baker - when was she ever on drugs? and she is NOT in her late fifties.
To whomever mentioned Chaka's having custody of her daughter's child - no. She has temporary custody of her son's child.
It's probably Chaka Khan unfortunately. I'm gonna say Anita Baker just for the hell of it.
WHo among the male reality show hosts aren't pigs?
I know with 10 Grammys and long drug history that Chaka Kahn seems like the obvious one here, but I really, really don't want it to be her. So, I'm going to point a finger at Irene Cara. Only one Grammy, not exactly legendary and far from a power singer, but not Chaka.

Oh I'm sure there are, but I can't think of any fiftysomething ones who are also "legendary" and "vocal powerhouses."

Chaka was the first person that came to my mind while I was reading the blind item. I lived in Detroit and it was well known that she was a junkie in the late 70s to the late 80s--maybe even longer. A lot of people thought her addiction was the reason she wore long-sleeved clothes no matter how hot it was. I haven't seen her in short sleeves since the early 70s when she was with Rufus. I chuckled when I saw she was getting her grandchildren from her child and I thought the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

Sorry, but are there no WHITE legendary Grammy winners with drug issues???
And I'm white, but that just really jumped out at me.
----------------
Me too, but with all due respect, this convo is about us trying to figure out which female singer with drug issues is a 'vocal powerhouse.' If you can think of a 50-something white woman who fits this overall description, go for it. I can't think of one.

I don't believe the second one for a second!! There is no way all those women could be FORCED to have sex with the host and not one of them ever complained about it. The legal term for that would be RAPE!! I can't believe any host who is considered A-List would take a chance like that. It just doesn't make sense even for wannabe famewhores. This is another of Enty's lies over at CDaN.
I think the first one is Gladys Knight. I haven't seen her in a really long time. Chaka Khan jsut got custody of her grandchild FROM her child because he's on drugs, so I don't think she would be. I could see Natalie Cole too, but I'm not sure she's a "powerhouse".
o.k. folks...it is a vocal powerhouse...the only one I can think of is Chaka...not Donna (no powerhouse), not Elton he is so-so at singing, not Whit cause she is in her 40's...sad if it is Chaka cause she just adopted her kids kid...could be a man though...just trying to confuse you with Whit Whit's pic.
I'm thinking the Donald for the reality show host, sounds his speed. Oh, and Omarosa for the "well-known" contestant.
I'd say Natalie Cole for the first one, but I think she's like 60.
Wait, Chaka Khan is still ALIVE?

1. is NOT Chaka Khan. She just adopted her daughter's child. Her daughter has a drug issue.

Snowpiece: point well taken. By me, and by them.
Sounds good, Jack. Although I don't know Daisy, she seems to be famous enough! And Bret is A + for sure. The only bachelorette I know is Vienna Sausage.

2. Brett Michaels and Daisy de la Hoya durrrrr
darling, Brett wasn't the host, and it's a given that the hos slept with him. probably each and every one.
Flavor Flav and New York would be a bit more shocking, only because I couldn't believe anyone with a sense of sight and smell could possibly be aroused by that burnt up french fry. :-P

I guess the not Whitney clue is supposed to push you in the direction of a black singer cuz Whit is obviously not in her late fifties (her wig may be).
Trying to think...Donna Summer? Peaches of Peaches and Herb? Lol
I know, and I've been trying to think of alternatives...the only one I can come up with is Gladys Knight and she's definitely over 50. As for non-Black singers who can be described as "vocal powerhouses", I got Teena Marie and Bonnie Raitt. Teena passed away and the Bonnie Raitt theory has been debunked.
Sounds like Chaka Khan for the win. Sadly, the last time I heard anything about her is when she played the GOP Convention that one time. :(

Doesn't Bobby Flay host some kinda reality show on Food Network? He's a known whore with terrible judgment (January Jones anyone?). He migh pull a stunt like this.
++++++++++++++++++++++
Oh no! Bobby Flay is an excellent guess! Though I so so so hope not! I love that guy. He hosts Next Food Network Star. Damn!

OT because I can't wait for OP: I had to bail on babysitting for someone and gave her four days' notice. I also offered to ask around for a replacement, but the other sitters I asked weren't free. I'm getting calls and texts and a guilt trip from the lady I was supposed to babysit for.
I feel that I gave plenty of notice and tried to help. I feel bad, but what else am I supposed to do? This lady should back off, right?
********************************
Yes, you gave plenty of notice AND you tried to help, so YES, she should back the fuck off and STFU! You owe her nothing, so she needs to get over it. I have had people call me 3 hrs before a flight telling me that they could not care for my dogs after having had 1 month to tell me, so you just pull yourself up and get to solving the problem nstead of creating additional ones.
Yeah, Bonnie Raitt had drug and alcohol probs, but I think she's too old, too. She's better described as a songwriter / musician / guitarist then a vocal powerhouse, too
Hekki, that woman is out of line. You gave her plenty of notice. If I were you I wouldn't work for her again.

Yes, you gave plenty of notice and even helped her out trying to find a replacement. It's not your fault that she can't find someone.
Unfortunately, Chaka fits number one. (Patti is now in her late 60s and Donna has got to be over 60, right?)
No idea for number two. Can't think of many well-known reality show contestants.
Tim Allen for the win.
I guess the not Whitney clue is supposed to push you in the direction of a black singer cuz Whit is obviously not in her late fifties (her wig may be).

hell yeah she should back off. you gave her plenty of notice and you even tried to help find a replacement. shit happens and this woman needs to have a back up plan in case plan a fails. i thought all mothers got that memo in their handbooks?

I hope #1 is not the amazing Chaka Khan. But who else in that age range could be considered a "vocal powerhouse"? Maybe Patti Labelle? Stevie Nicks is a decent guess, but is she really known for having a *great* voice? She sounds like a goat! lol
For #2, the "A+" part instantly makes me think Simon Cowell and AI. Super-creepy, but anything is possible in show biz.
#3 sounds about right.

On 10-time Grammy-winning, "vocal powerhouse" Chaka Khan: The past few years she has struggled hard to overcome her drug addiction. "It's no secret I've been getting high since I started singing," she told People magazine in 2007. "I felt like I was in a fishbowl. I contemplated suicide a lot in those days." She has been sober now since 2006. "Obviously, God had something planned for me because, for all intents and purposes, I should be dead, shouldn't even be here."
I certainly hope it isn't her, but she could be "seriously struggling", but able to hide it (for now) to win custody.
#2, really? Unless there's a gun to your head, you're not FORCED to participate in a threesome. You might have to choose between two undesirable scenarios, but no one's going to DIE if you say no. Because if you participate in a threesome just to stay on a stupid reality show, you obviously wanted to. If someone said I would lose my job if I didn't do a threesome with them, I'd tell them to start writing my pink slip.
