A few years ago, a source told me she grew up with this renowned black male celebrity. It was so much drama is his childhood, he often stayed at her family’s house. They fed and clothed him. His family was so dysfunctional, they only came looking for him once.
After he became famous, they lost touch but when he returned to their hometown for an engagement, her whole family went to welcome him home with open arms.
The reunion didn’t go as expected, he snubbed them and told them he didn’t want to remember anything or anyone from his past. He left them standing there with their mouths open as he got into his limo and took off.
Fast Forward:
Rumors have always circulated that this man has ordered up male escorts on occasion but he continues to deny gay rumors regarding his lifestyle.We were recently informed that this man is now having a very discreet and secretive relationship with a professional athlete. They both are very careful because they both have a lot to lose.
Our celebrity has dated famous women and he uses them as “beards,” while his athlete stands in the shadows.
Whenever you see one of them, the other is not far behind, regardless of city.
Hints: He’s not a actor, singer, rapper, model or athlete. And, he’s extremely popular and well known in the black community.
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’. These items are posted for entertainment purposes. Please don’t email me asking for the answer because your email will be promptly deleted.
t.perry?
if he’s not a actor, singer, rapper, model or athlete…
who the hell is he and why do we give a fuck?
LOL @ KIMMI, TRUE! Haha.
Must be a black republican politician.
Why would we give a fuck who he is if he aint shit lol.
No Clue!!!
I think its Kat Williams lmaooo.
ok….so he’s either a politician or a comedian which still doesn’t ring any bells 4me…
LMAO @ #2
SPEAKING DIRECTLY TO #2 AND #3
i find it disappointing that there are people in this world who believe that just because a person in the black community is not an entertainer or an athlete that “they ain’t shit”
LMAO @ 2 and 7.
I was thinking it was Al Sharpton.
lmao @ 11… MAJOR EW!
I’m convinced that Myra makes all of this blind item shit up. Think about it…there is NO man extremely popular and well known in the black community, who’s not an entertainer or athlete, that continues to deny gay rumors.
#10 I feel like them and it is not that just because a person in the black community is not an entertainer or an athlete that “they aren’t shit” but politician, political issue (just to through that in for example) it not an attention getter for some people.
sorry *throw
Can someone please put two and two together and get the answer to this blind item. i really want to know. Dayum i have no idea who it is. I’m curious to know. The suspenses is killing me (LMAO)
@ 12–LOL, you never know! What the hell do I know anyways? I never get these damn things right.
DAMN, DAMN, DAMN. I THOUGHT TYPER PERRY AT 1ST, TOO. THEN I FIG’D IT COULD BE A MINISTER–BUT WHO? NOT AL SHARPTON, NOT C. BUTTS. SO I GUESS THAT LEAVES A COMEDIAN OR RADIO PERSONALITY–OR TV HOST….
PLS NOT TYLER!
OK. CAN’T BE TYLER BECAUSE HIS FAM SITS IN THE AUDIENCE & HE HAS MENTIONED HIS PAST. WHEW! (Y’ALL KNOW THAT’S MY MAN)
AND SO THE WUESTION REMAINS…..
I know blind items are supposed to be vauge, but not that damn vauge.
Tigger!!
I used to see him all the time when I lived in the DC Met area back when he was just a DJ for 95.5. And ya’ll know the Washington Redskins are deep in NoVa.
I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT OF TYLER PERRY!, MY MOM LIVES IN ATL, AND SHE SAID HIS WHOLE ENTOURAGE ARE MADE UP AND GAY MEN AND LESBIAN WOMEN. IN FACT, HIS RIGHT HAND MAN, IS A LESBIAN WOMAN!, YUCK!
I heard of Dr.Ian Smith and Michael Strahan(New York Giants DE) having a DL relationship. So my guess is Ian Smith.
He is not an actor,singer,rapper,model or athlete hmmmm I know it’s not Obama
Tyson Beckford with the gay athlete being Derek Jeter but the item suggess he’s not a model. For those who don’t known Tyson and Jeter have been seen numerous times in night spots together and on NYC streets.
My 2nd guess wa Tyler Perry but he is an actor not just a film developer and he has never been linked to famous women as the item suggests.
Tyler Perry?
Dr. Ian Smith, Tigger and Katt Williams may fit the profile, but they are not RENOWNED celebs as the item suggests and have never dated famous celebs or “beards”.
@#25,TYLER WAS LINKED TO TYRA BANKS ONCE…
Ian Smith- because of the rumors of him being “with” Micheal Strahan (NFL player)
I hope not…but it does sound like Tyler Perry, because of the dysfunctional family past. But Tyler openly talks about his Dad and the experiences of his past so how could he not want to be reminded of his past when he does speak about it? On Fathers day, he sent out emails to everyone on his mailing list talking about his Dad, so it may just NOT be Tyler.
I’m going to go with Ian Smith.
Tavis Smiley?????????????????????????
@29 who’s Ian Smith?
Tavis….good one. Dayyyyyaaaam. I don’t think it’s Ian because who has he dated that’s famous?
@31,
He’s the doctor on Celebrity Fit Club that comes on VH1.
But now that I think about it, maybe it’s not Ian because what famous women has he ever dated?
Tyler was rumored to have dated Tyra Banks, Tracee Ellis Ross, Gayle King and Tosha Smith (the crazy momma from Daddy’s Little Girls). But Tyler might be too easy to guess, it’s probally someone else! This is a tricky one!
TYLER PERRY (BECAUSE TYLER PERRY DID GROW UP IN A VERY DYFUNCTUNAL HOME, HE TALKED ABOUT IT IN HIS ARTICLE IN VIBE MAGAZINE A FEW YEARS BACK). AND HE IS NOT, NONE OF THE ABOVE LISTED PROFESSIONS, BUT YOU KNOW ABOUT EVERYONE YOU KNOWS HAS ONE OF THOSE DAMN MADEA DVDS’.
So I conclude it’s Tyler Perry.
It can’t be Ian Smith,he married they were featured in the Ebony Wedding Issue.

I usually don’t do these “Blind Items” but this one is easy. The celeb is Tyler Perry and athlete is Laveranues Coles.
The below NY Times article and sports forum talks of the “drama” in both their childhoods and how they bonded.
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/11/10/sports/football/10jets.html?ex=1320814800&en=a7febff41a77d752&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss

Hints in the “Blind Item”:
engagement = “Why Did I Get Married”
reunion = “Madea’s Class Reunion”
family/reunion = “Madea’s Family Reunion”
I’m good a crossword puzzles too.
By the way…..the last two paragraphs on the NYTimes article is the key.
And he is stepping out. Whereas in previous years Coles spent the bye week holed up in his house, he spent part of last weekend, when the Jets were off, in Las Vegas with Perry, attending the welterweight championship bout between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Carlos Baldomir.
“I absolutely see the change in him,” Perry said. “He’s so much lighter. I think he’s all-around a happier person.”
Perry has suggested that Coles keep a journal, and Coles has gone so far as to buy one. But so far, the pages remain blank. Who needs a journal when people surround his locker every day, waiting to record his thoughts? “It’s exciting,” Coles said. “It’s like a whole other world when I walk in here now.”
Entire article is below.

@38 Laveranues Coles was he the guy on Oprah saying he was sexually abused? If so I think ur on to something
Lord, please forgive Miss Vivica Fox for jacking-up her beautiful face. Obviously, she did not realize her own natural beauty. Otherwise, she would not have not have mutilated herself in this manner. And please Lord, revoke the medical license of the plastic surgeon who committed malpractice on Miss Fox’s face. I bind the spirit of self-hate over the lives of black celebrities right now in the name of Jesus.
#22 Stop contradicting urself bish, in ur comments toward Shemar Moore, he’s so fione, yet u yuckin because TP right hand man is gay, ur a simple azz hoe. You was shown pics of Shemar fruity little dic azz on a gay beach and u still thought he looked good.
@#42, U NEED TO BE ADMITTED TO DA LOCAL MENTAL FACILITY, YA CRAZY BYTCH. WHERE DA HELL DO U SEE ME EVEN MENTIONING SHEMARS NAME AND WHERE DA FUK WAS I POSTING HIS PICS? WRONG BYTCH..
@41 U SO RITE GIRL LMAO
@38,
you may have hit the nail on the head.
BUT U GUYS ISN’T TP AN ACTOR?
I was thinking the same thing^^^^, well at least i consider him an actor, but its still something fishy about his relationship with Coles.
DR. IAN! he on the low with michael strahan
HMM WELL THIS ONE IS TRICKY WELL WE ALL THINK IT’S TP BUT THAT DOES NOT CORESPOND WITH WHAT THE BLIND ITEM STATES. CAUSE I GOOGLED TP AND HE IS KNOWN AS A ACTOR, SCREEN WRITER AND SO ON.
PLUS HE DOESN’T SEEM LIKE THE TYPE OF PERSON TO SHUN AWAY PPL THAT HAVE HELPED HIM. DAYUM HE IS MORE LIKELY TO REPAY THEM BY GIVING THEM MONEY FOR THEIR KINDNESS. PLUS HE TALKS OPENLY ABOUT HIS BAD CHILDHOOD……………..
HMMM… WHO EVER IT MAY BE WE GON FIND OUT UR IDENTITY SOONER OR LATER. IT’S JUST A MATTER OF TIME
Wow, I thought it was Tyler Perry.
Geez.
@ 43, Candi, ignore littlemamajtb’s dumb ass…that bitch is retarded, seriously.
DEADDD@MIKA, BECAUSE I AM STILL REALLY TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE SHE GOT I SAID AND POSTED THEM PICS OF SHEMAR FROM, LMAOOOOOOOOO, SHE IS PAST NUTS, BI-POLAR AZZ!
“Hints: He’s not a actor, singer, rapper, model or athlete. And, he’s extremely popular and well known in the black community.”
WTF? Then WTH does he do other than slob knobs?
IDK ..they said no athlete..singer.and blah blah
Good Observation #38 You may be correct. I remember seeing Laveranues Coles on Oprah and he mentioned about being sexually confused. Those two articles pretty much lead to the answer.
It’s Dr. Ian and Michael Stayhand…it was rumors a year ago that Michael left his wife and was living with Dr. Ian
@ DIMPLIMES DELIGHT I’M GOING WITH YOU ON THIS ONE. PLUS THE POST THAT THEY HAD PUT UP WITH EVA, DR. IAN AND MICHEAL STAYHAND. THOSE TWO MEN ESPECIALLY THE DOCTOR LOOK FRUITY.
P.S. MY GAYDAR IS NEVA EVA WRONG.
I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH LESBIANS AND HOMOS LET THEM DO THEIR THING JUST AS LONG THEY DON’T TRY TO FUCK ME THEN WE COOL!!!!!
CAUSE I’LL BUS A CAP IN THEIR ASS IF THEY TRY THAT SHIT
Well then he’s a producer, director, or song writter. What else can he do and be well known in the community…and be undercover like that.
It must be a Baptist preacher. A lot of them are as queer as a three dollar bill.
# 57 Don’t let your id bother you like that. And I mean ID not I.D. there is a difference. Psychology
