Over the years, people have wondered why two of our “Downlow Veterans” stopped speaking and associating. The real reason: Both men were crushing on a professional football player who is more known for his good looks than his offensive skills.The DL veterans had a big blowout, similar to two women fighting over a attractive guy. Both men continue to hold a grudge and refuse to acknowledge each other at Hollywood events.
Although the athlete has dated beautiful Hollywood types (black and white) his sexuality has always been in question due to his immaculate behavior and good looks.
He hung out with the downlow crew on a few occasions (but it is not known whether he slept with any of them) because no one knows if he is actually straight, gay, or bi.
And, he has never been spotted at the downlow functions that take place in the Hollywood Hills every few months.
This athlete is extremely private in regard to his personal life.
NOTE: All blind items are written by Myra Panache or her staff. No, I do not know what the answer is, after all it is called a Blind Item. Please contact Myra if you have any questions. Thank you.
LOL !! 50 and Game
Puffy and Mase !
I’m completely, utterly, clueless as to who it is.
i’m gonna leave it up to the detectives on this site. lol
shit….Teddy Riley and what’s his face…Aaron Hall iono ! I’m just throwin shit out there
Mike and Tito..lol
I take that back Mike aint down low….lol
The whole NFL and NBA squad!
henry simmons and tyson beckford fightin over that dude gabrielle union used to date…??
hell i dont kno..lol
(damn that’s a lot of fine brothers in that h.a.m. if so)
I don’t know about the hollywood guys but my money is on Johnny Morten for the athelete. DL rumors have followed him for years.
Okay I have the answer…Johnny Gill and Eddie Murphy…but who is the athlete?
This one is too damn vague.
I mean usually I have at least a guess.
But on this one, I got nothing.
crap i have no clue – why everybody gotta be gay though?!
johnny, eddie and sugar ray leonard
think i heard some drama about that a lil while back
The athlete has to be (and I wish for selfish reasons) Terrell Owens…no one really knows about his private life and his body is perfection as well as his style and grooming…
The celebrities fighting for him, I can give you a long list of names on who they could be…I’m going to take a wild guess and say Will Smith and Larenz Tate??? I would have also added Duane Martin, Henry Simmons, Tyson Beckford, Usher, etc.
the NFL dude is that player that Eva was suppose to be dating but was messing wth Dr. Ian! Remember that post?
let me also add Jamie Foxx and Kanye West…even tho Kanye is yet a veteran…remember their lover’s spat since the Grammys?
50 and JaRule??? LOL
I give up!
Magic and Isaiah Thomas?
Remember back in the day they use to kiss and hug before games and stuff.
*With mouth agape*
How shocking and unexpected! Another blind item post bashing Black men by Myra Panache!
Whoever could it be??
I think this Myra Panache broad makes alot of this shit up, just like Wendy Williams. I mean, sensationalism is what sells, so thats her thing. Honestly, how can it be so many homosexuals in Hollywood, when they have all that ass around. No fucking way! I’m telling you, this chick is lying, plus why talk about it, if you aren’t exposing who you are talking about?! She’s got a “beautiful mind”, therefore she makes up alot of these random stories tryin to make us suspicious of random celebrities.
Wow. I don’t have a clue. But in the name of juicy gossip, lemme throw this out there:
Will Smith and Tom Cruise fighting over I don’t know who.
I do believe Will swings both ways and Tom Cruise is straight up gay. I think Jada turned up at Tom’s kid’s soccer game to try to patch things up. Just a wild guess…
I’m really starting to doubt the validity of Myra Panache’s Postings…
Is she a Black Woman ??
Why does she put people on BLAST so much ???
no homo..
I just don’t care for people putting RUMORS out there and not Being man or woman enough to say “Yeah, I say that xyz is gay” and I can PROVE it !!!
I despise DL Brothers with a passion…I mean, if your going to be gay, then be gay !!!
What’s up with the going back & forth..I don’t understand the logic of “Okay it’s Monday, I have some Penis today, but On Tuesday I’ll have some P_ssy”..What the hell is THAT all about ??
But on the flip side, Myra has no right to be casting stones about a person’s personnel life..
AT LEAST with Wendy Williams, she will TELL YOU THE PERSON’S NAME…
Myra Panache is a Punk..Why can’t she provide NAMES ???
“beautiful mind”
*DEAD* Someone please pick me up off the floor.
LMAO!!!!
@ Jalen Chase
You must be kidding me. Hollywood is full of homosexuality, drugs and generally crazy behavior. Nothing is beyond belief when it comes to celebrities. The stuff that gets out is just the tip of the iceberg!
Damn, I got to get to class *lol* but…I’m thinking of Russell Simmons ( I.E. “Downlow Veterans”), I could be wrong, but who is the other guy?…
And # 14 I agree with you!!!
#19 You sound like my ex when you ask how can there be so many homosexuals in Hollywood when they have all that ass around. If *%### isn’t someone’s thing, then they could care less how much of it is around. lol. I agree that many of these stories do not sound credible and are vague, but I still have to read them.lol
I’d say Mike Strahan is the athlete. Or Tiki Barber?
The celebs fighting over either (if it is either) I wouldn’t have a clue.
Kanye West and Jamie Foxx…the athlete is Clinton Portis…
They are interesting to read but I think they are fake everytime I read one of this things I try to understand that if all of this is going on and so many people are always involved, how come these “secrets” are not exposed. Someone is sure to run their mouth about it.

You’d be surprised…and “beautiful mind”..YOU got that from a movie!!! lol….
the football player is Ray Lewis…everyone in Bmore/Philly/NY knows this. But who are the men?
Jalen, you’re living in an utter state of denial if you don’t believe that homosexuality doesn’t run rampant in Hollywood, sports and in the music industry. You must be hiding under a rock not to be aware of that fact…and it’s not just a black phenomena…same goes for white folks in Hollywood.
Anyway, on to the gossip. It could be a wide open field of choices. I’m thinking one of them has to be Eddie Murphy.
I’m at a loss on the athlete though. I don’t know football players at all! Myra hints that this is someone that plays on the OFFENSIVE end…that should narrow down the options somewhat.
It’s me, my father and brother.

My coworker who lived in LA just seconded your motion. He said that it’s likely that the veterans include the guesses you mentioned.
I think I have the answer:
eddie murphy, arsenio hall, and to make a guess out of the blue on the athlete:
marcus allen
Y’all are trippin’ this early in the morning! LOL. This is a hard one (though I’m sure it’s fake anyway), but everybody come up with some great guess.

*******************************************
Hmmm…I guess everybody is entitled to their opinion. But I would NEVER consider Ray Lewis to be known more for his looks…rather for that murder allegation against him few years back. I doubt the hollywood types would be dating him…he just has that look about him that screams I’ll beat a chick.
i say eddie and johnny
*why did I enter this post in the first place? Exits*
I am going to piggy bank off some of the others. I think it is Will Smith and Duane Martin.
They use to be tight now they are never together and Duane is a sport agent so I have no idea about the athlete.
Anybody know of any of Duane’s client’s?
how is it johnny and eddie ? they are the best of friends! anyway I have no idea this one is tuff! lol
Damn You Myra!
hey! I like Ray Lewis! lol
For whoever said Tiki Barber..I don’t think it’s him because Tiki and his twin brother Ronde (who is also an NFL player) are both married to white women..and they seem to be very happy with their wives. For some reason..I just don’t see any “DL” in Tiki.
I wanted to say MICHAEL STRAHAN for the NFL player in the blind item, but it said that the player is best known for his good looks and NOT his OFFENSIVE SKILLS. If y’all pay close attention to the hints in the blind items, then maybe you can put it together better. First of all, Michael Strahan is the one who was rumored by his wife to be sleeping with Dr. Ian (the black doctor from “Celebrity Fit Club”), but Michael Strahan is not good-looking at all…eww..lol. And besides, in the blind item, it said that this player is not know for his OFFENSIVE skills…so that excludes Strahan because Strahan is a DEFENSIVE player.
The answer is not Ray Lewis because he is also a DEFENSIVE player.
I’m not sure what the answer could be though. I might come back later and post an answer after I come up with one.
If you are not serious stop guessing. If you hate the blind item, then don’t read it or comment on it. Some of us like guessing. I contacted Myrna yesterday and she assures us that the details are verified and true, as true as hollywood rumors can be.
The clue says an offensive footlball player, so Sugar Ray Leonard can’t be the answer. It can’t be Terrel Owens because he doesn’t have immaculate behavior.
I think the veterans are Johnny Gill and Eddie Murphy, I have heard so many jokes about these two, that I am starting to believe it’s true.
@lelee… OOOHHHHH, That’s a good guess !!!
I personally don’t think he’s THAT attractive BUT the ladies think his “High-Yellow Ass” is the SHIT
I love the blind items but I just wonder how true all of this is. I mean how does she knows all the inside scoop on every negroe in hollywood?
My first guess was Eddie Murphy and Johnny Gill
Eddie and Johnny come to mind
OMGoodness there are some terrible guesses in here. Will and Duane? Are you serious?
I’d have to cosign on Eddie/Johnny. Eddie and Johnny were all over each other until they got busted by the press, then allof a sudden he’s marrying the chick from the Spice Girls and got her pregnant.
There was the football player from Florida who was on drugs and got kicked out, themn they let him come back. But he’s known to be a flamer, so I’d have to say Terrell Owens. He’s very into himself as far as his looks and has a large gay fanbase. Gaydar don’t lie.
OK, I’m just gonna read to see what y’all have to say, cause I don’t have a friggin clue (although you guys are usually all over the place with these blind items, the one where y’all came up with Laurence Fishburne seemed dead on)
The NFL dude is Michael Strahan… I just don’t know who the two other guys fighting over him are???
Eddie & Johnny got my vote. Doont know about the ball player. That cutie Gabby Union was dating this summer maybe.
Eddie & Arsenio & the athlete is Sugar Ray Leonard
Wow someone is gay for looking good and being immaculate? That shit sounds retarded.
My other guess is Redman and Method Man..I noticed they don’t hang together anymore..and there have been gay rumors circling them for years
The Black Downlow Club (Celebrity Edition)
Supposidly includes:
Eddie
Arsenio
Johnny Gill
Johnny Morton (Damn that fine man)
Shemar Moore
Tevin Cambell
and a few others I can’t remember right now. But does anyone recall when they supposedly tried to induct Mike Tyson into their “CLUB”?
My guess is Eddie and Arsenio and the football player is Johnnie Morton. I can’t really think of too many football players that are more known for their looks over their skills besides him. Also, I remember him dating Shanice back in the day and then he kind of fell off the map.
Another thing: Why are people guessing Michael Strahan? I don’t think that he is known for his “good looks” because HE IS NOT ANYBODY’S GOOD LOOKING! LOL
It probably isn’t Ray Lewis or Strahan because the piece hints that it is an offensive player, and they’re defensive. And it probably isn’t T.O. because it says the guy isn’t known for his skills and T.O. is one of the best in the game. Johnny Morton is a good guess I think, but I really have no idea.
I’ve heard rumors for a years that Duane Martin was bi…But, don’t know who the other dude or athlete could be, tho..lolol
