Robert Rodriguez affair rumors resurface
One blind item alleges director Robert Rodriguez had a years-long affair with circus artist and nightclub figure Anya Sapozhnikova while married to producer and actress Elizabeth Avellán, with heavy partying and drug use in New York City. It also claims Sapozhnikova later inspired a film connected to mental-health struggles, and that the relationship contributed to Rodriguez’s divorce and later tensions involving actress Rose McGowan. (Unverified gossip, in case the “blind item” label did not scream it loudly enough.)
More “maxwellhill” speculation, because the internet cannot quit anything
A piece claims Ghislaine Maxwell, previously linked online to the Reddit account “maxwellhill,” would resume heavy Reddit posting if given internet access in prison. It suggests she may now be posting under a different handle to avoid attention, while noting the old account has not been deleted and that some past comments may still be viewable despite frequent deletions. It also alleges early Reddit figures praised the account’s contributions, and that any current activity is mostly limited to yoga-related threads. (Yes, yoga, the ancient practice of stretching, breathing, and pretending your online footprint does not exist.)
Goo Goo Dolls milestone, “Iris” hits 3 billion Spotify streams
The Goo Goo Dolls’ hit song “Iris” has surpassed 3 billion streams on Spotify. Proof that time is a flat circle, and we are all still standing in the metaphorical rain insisting we do not want the world to see us, while the world very much does.
Wholesome sports anime reportedly draws a disturbing underground fandom
A report says a popular foreign animated sports series, created by women for a female audience and known for a wholesome tone and shirtless male characters, has attracted an unsettling underground fandom.

Vehicle crashes into Cheltenham Township home, ignites fire, driver flees
Officials say a vehicle hit a house at 808 Chelten Hills Dr. in Cheltenham Township around 4 a.m. Thursday, igniting both the car and the front of the home. Fire crews responded quickly, the house was unoccupied due to prior foundation-related safety issues, and the driver fled on foot and has not been found. No firefighter injuries were reported, and the home was boarded up and re-posted as unsafe.
Haiku OS NVIDIA graphics work shows renewed progress
NVIDIA graphics support on the BeOS-inspired, open-source Haiku operating system is reportedly advancing again, driven by work involving NVIDIA’s open kernel modules alongside the NVK driver and Zink-based Vulkan-to-OpenGL translation. A niche triumph, but in a world where basic software support often feels like a luxury, we take our victories where we can get them.
Jared Leto “cult leader” claims, via blind item
Another blind item alleges actor Jared Leto, described as a cult leader, promises celibacy to followers until he finds a “Queen,” then purportedly encourages followers to compete for the role, has sex with multiple women, and later reframes it as a “meditation experience” while continuing the search. These claims are presented as unverified gossip, which is also the only appropriate container for them.
