No Strut Zone Saturday!

So evidently there?s this family named the Grangers that are all of a sudden popping up in the social landscape. Like a ton of them. Cool, right? We thought so until we found out that two of them are dating or something. Evidently there?s this guy named Correy and one named Jon. The pair of them were seen hanging out in the Inn Saturday night, chatting with the ever adorable Taneth. They?re evidently a couple. And distant cousins. So, yeah, they?re way distant but we still can?t wrap our head around it. This is RhyDin! There are gorgeous men and women every where you look! Do us a favor and do NOT look within your own family tree. Are we the only ones that find it a bit? freaky?

Eless was overheard telling some pretty girl named Audrey and a Granger named Lola that Kate wants a ?Ladies Choice Night? in the Inn where the women chose their dates. OMG! We LOVE it! Please, please, please make this happen. We want a full fledge Sadie Hawkins Dance with the corny decorations and cupcakes and spiked punch! Eless! Risa! Come to our rescue and make this happen! By the way, Eless has a habit of surrounding herself with pretty single young women, does she not? The quickest way to get a date with a hot woman is to hang out with Eless for a little while! You?re bound to meet three or four a night! Better be prepared, though. They tend to be a bit? naughty (if you know what we?re saying)!

And speaking of naughty, we hear that Audrey along with the ever troublesome Quinn later convinced some guy named Petyr to strut his stuff around the Inn. Really. Men of RhyDin, when drunk women request that you ?strut?, TELL THEM NO! This will not get you laid. It will only look utterly ridiculous. You really don?t have to do everything that a woman asks you to do in order to land a hottie. Please, please, please never do this again. Let?s just say that there was more women laughing than dropping their panties.

Mack was seen having a drink with one HUNK of a man! We have no idea what his name is but our interns are working with our sources double time to try to figure it out. By all accounts he was HELLA FINE and there definitely seemed to be some chemistry between him and Mack. Could her luck finally be changing??? Maybe not. Daniel showed up later in the evening and seemed to be inputting himself in the situation. Of course! Mack finally found a HAWT guy who seems to be into her so it?s time for Daniel to show up to stomp on her heart a couple more times. We hear that the new guy wasn?t a fan and that Mack ended up leaving with him, leaving Daniel at the bar. GOOD FOR HER! We really hope she?s smart about this but we?re not holding our breath. That girl is about as dumb about men as they come.

Dysfunctional with a Capital ?D? Monday!

Our sources tell us that we aren?t the only ones who have made a sudden return. They supposedly spotted Tucker in the Red Dragon Inn briefly Tuesday night. He seemed to just be passing through as he was carrying some bags that appeared to contain groceries but he did pick up something and then leave. It?s nice to know he?s still in one piece because we were hearing rumors that he had passed away. Well? as the interns point out, in RhyDin the fact that he was walking around in the Inn doesn?t necessarily rule out that he has died.

The faces in the Inn are constantly changing but there are definitely trends. One of those trends is that there is often a group of hormone-charged young people who talk a lot about sex and are always on the look out for a hot piece of ? well, you know. The current group? Well, we?ve at least identified a member or two (And, yeah, they?re probably giggling over the word ?member? right now). One of the Grangers, Lola, seems to be the ringleader of the trouble makers. She definitely seems to be a saucy curvy little thing. Her sidekick for the night was Cally who had evidently been hit on earlier in the evening by a guy with no game?. of which Rhys and a friend of his seemed to be analyzing. What we?ll say about what we like to call the Sexed Up Group is that they are a lot of fun to hang out and drink with. And if you?re looking for an awesome one-nighter? Find one of them. However, do NOT expect them to engage in long term relationships. That tends to end ugly? or on other thought, if you want to entertain us with a nasty break-up, go ahead and try getting serious with one of them.

The Grangers will be new sources of never ending drama for us it seems. That?s fine. We here at the Den of Gossip make a living on exploiting dysfunction of all sorts. Dysfunctional families will fit right in with all the rest! It seems that Correy gave Ollie a hard time after Ollie hurt Cally?s feelings So? Ollie slammed Correy against the bar. Then things got really crazy. Gigi (who, from what we understand, is yet another family member) went running after Ollie as he stormed out of the bar and began beating on him outside the Inn. Girl went totally postal! Correy, Lola, and Cally stood off to the side begging them to stop while Jon (who had just shown up) tried to intervene. At some point there were gunshots and then our sources claim it ended in tears. It?s all a bit hard to sort out but needless to say with family like that, who needs enemies???

OMG! We love Kate! She is such a provider of drama! It turns out that the guy she said she would ?never ever ever marry? is named Derever and he?s pretty darn good looking in an intensely noble sort of way. Well, he was none to happy it seems to get the refusal to his proposal through our publication. He seemed pretty surprised that Kate didn?t want to marry him so we?re guessing she hadn?t made that part clear? or she tried to let him down easy and he just didn?t take the hint. Our sources couldn?t catch the details of the conversation but it ended with him storming off so we?re guessing it didn?t go well. Little Diva is on the market again, boys!

One of our favorite old school duelists, Kalamere, has been seen occasionally in the Inn it seems since we left town and he was spotted there again Monday night! He was having a Badsider but he really didn?t have to go into the Inn to have a Badsider. We think the real draw was Eless who he was seen chatting with for a while. We?re hearing rumors that there?s been quite the flirtation between the pair. Reeeeaaaally? We would never have seen that coming but? it sort of fits, doesn?t it? Kalamere?s quite the charmer and might even be able to keep up with that secret naughty side that Eless tries to keep under wraps. So, yeah, Eless supposedly has a man but we?re keeping an eye out for those two!

The fabulous Koy was seen in the Outback late into the night. It seems she was taking a break from Fashion Week preparations to blow off a little steam ? or work off a little steam as the case may be. We are super excited that we got back just in time for Fashion Week. There better be a front row seat for me at your show, Koy! I will NOT be late!

The Baker Charm Wednesday!

You people crack us up sometimes! We hear that Cally and Lola were spotted in the Red Dragon Inn Wednesday night with a copy of a printed version of our blog (speaking of which, tomorrow?s printed version will have a coupon for buy one, get one free screen print tees from Coaster Fashions) saying that our sources were wrong. Dead wrong. Why is it that our sources see the truth, report the truth to us, we print the truth BUT YOU CAN?T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

The night didn?t get much better for the pair from there. We hear that Baker showed up! It?s never a party until Baker appears! Baker convinced Lola to get him an ale and was in the process of explaining how she should turn the ale into the infamous brale when she dumped it all over him. Baker took it in stride. Why not? Oddly enough, his ?charm? actually works every once in a while.

As Lola stormed off, the night got a bit? odd. Our sources say that TANETH was seen pinching and slapping Baker?s butt! WTF??? Even Baker seemed stunned. It might be the only time we?ve seen Baker stunned that didn?t involve a punch or mug to the noggin! As usual, we have no explanation for Taneth?s odd behavior. However, this one is certainly a new one for Taneth!

We?re learning so much in such a short period of time that it?s almost hard to keep up! Our sources have starved in our absence and are eager to get back to making quick money! Lilli was behind the bar Wednesday night with Eless. It seems Head Pussy Panther has hired himself yet another hot, young thing. We seriously doubt it hurts that she has a nice rack for the male patrons to ogle! Our sources reported back that Rekah was overheard saying that she is still with Cassius. That remains weird to us. And they told us that everybody is in a tizzy over the wedding this coming weekend between Riley and some guy. Considering it?s on a rooftop, we?re not sure we?ll be able to sneak our sources into this one and nobody here at the Den of Gossip got an invite. Not that we?re surprised. Riley?s evidently not a fan. We think she wears her panties a little too tight to be able to laugh at herself.

Also in the news that?s happened while we were gone, it seems Lilli?s brother, Brishen, and his wife, Niamh, do now have a little baby boy. According to our sources he seemed like quite the content little thing? even though they had taken him out in the middle of the night in this awful weather to a dirty, nasty bar (no offense, Panther) where there?s often gunfire. It?s no wonder that children who were born and bred in RhyDin turn out as insane as they do. There?s really no hope for them!

The Wedding of Riley O?Rourke and David Lo

So Riley wised up and, after her initial oversight, DID invite us to her wedding to some guy named David! Unfortunately, I was unable to make the event but we were able to slip my invitation to one of our sources in order to get the low down on the night in question! We hear it was quite the shindig! In fact, we?re hearing not just from our source but from the buzz around time that this might be The Wedding Of The Year! It seems that there is a big, fantastic, over the top affair that EVERYBODY who is ANYBODY must be at every year and while it?s awfully early into this one, this one is looking like a very strong contender for the title already.

Ceremonies bore us. The party is where all the action is so we?ll skip right to it! The reception was held on the rooftop of the Zen Gardens building and it was evidently quite the romantic winter wonderland. The tables were decorated with arrangements of red roses and white calla lillies. They served hors d?oeuvres that included a wide range of sushi, egg rolls, and pastries. A DJ was on site to provide music for an evening full of dancing and celebration. And dancing and celebrating there certainly was!

We do have to admit that while the affair was not the most posh and over the top expensive wedding RhyDin has ever seen (that award probably still belongs to Koy and Matt?s yacht wedding), the bride?s gown ranks right up there with most stunning couture numbers that we have seen over the years. The detailing was fabulous and the splash of red provided a dramatic statement. Props to Riley on the choice! There was certainly no upstaging her on her big day!

Of course, the who?s who of RhyDin attended the bash!

It seems that Kate and her main squeeze, Derever, must have kissed and made up. I have to admit that I?m surprised he attended a wedding as her date a mere few days after she announced to a room full of people that she would never marry him. That?s got to sting! Evidently the boy must have fallen hard for the looker because he was at her side so Kate wouldn?t have to be the sad, newly single girl at the wedding.

Riley and David weren?t the only newlyweds at the party. Our source informed us that Darien was in attendance with Collie. We still find it very odd that the pair got married. It?s sort of like finding out that your grandmother is still having sex. You never really assumed she wasn?t. You just never really thought about it and certainly never wanted to hear it confirmed. The pair did look awfully sharp. Darien had on a very well tailored suit and Collie had a gorgeous blue velvet gown with some fabulous vintage jewelry. We?re not sure if the vintage jewelry was as old as she is though. Like a fine wine, right???? Anyway, Darien was overheard mentioning how quite a few people seem to be in quite the rush to get married these days?. including him and his new bride. We disagree that this is a new trend. It?s simply RhyDin. This is not the land of the long engagement!

Mataya and her ex, Max, spent most of the reception talking about their own upcoming marriage? or re-marriage. Annoying, much? Yeah. Were not fans of the maid of honor spending most of the night wrapped up in falling all over her own man. Although, we have to say that the red halter dress she was wearing was a show stopper. Too bad that show stopper was wasted on her ex. Honey, if the man was an douche before what makes you think he?s not going to be a jerk the second time around? A tiger and its stripes and all that. Maybe it?s what she deserves. The maid of honor should be mingling, twirling around the dance floor, helping the bride with her gown while she pees, and having dirty sex with the best man in the coat closet after their speech! She was waaaaay too wrapped up in that loser.

That curvy vixen Lilli never seems to miss out on a good time! And that jewel encrusted bodice sure provided a pretty frame for that lovely rack! Despite being taken, Lilli always seems to find herself a new piece of eye candy to flirt with at these type of events. That?s the problem with letting a woman like that go to this type of event unaccompanied! Her blood runs HAWT! Last night?s was a handsome devil by the name of Edward. From what we can gather on him, he?s quite the wealthy socialite and it seems he?s new to town. Lilli has very good eyes! She can spot the trouble makers a mile away! And even better taste! We hear that the pair were seen drinking together and exchanging naughty comments most of the night. Looks like this Edward will be one to keep our eye on!

Eless never fails to impress us with her sense of style! She is the epitome of class and elegance. Her belted gown had an almost sheer bodice that contrasted beautifully to the black, glittery material that made up the fitted skirt. Fabulous as always! We just don?t know how she does it. The best sense of style in RhyDin. Without a doubt. She?s the woman that all designers want to see their gowns on because she?s the woman whose fashion everyone else mimics! She mingled heavily but spent a big portion of her evening with Tass who was there without his beautiful and buxom other half. According to Tass, she was resting while she could. Why is it that everything that Tass says sounds sexually charged and inappropriate?

As much as we are unsure about this Michael and Eless thing, we do have to admit that the man is smart. You don?t let a hot woman like that who has dated multiple high society types and is wanted by plenty more attend a popular wedding by herself. And if you can?t be there for the whole thing, you make damn sure you show up late in time to walk her home to make sure she?s going home with you and not some other good looking guy in a suit or tux! Michael did just that and, as tends to be the case when women attend weddings, it seemed Eless was in quite the? romantic mood! We?re betting he got a bit of loving that night!

Is it just us or is Rhys pretty hot??? With Alain set to get married this fall, we?re on the hunt for a new Hawtest Bachelor of RhyDin and he just may make it on the short list. We hear that despite a pretty colorful history (that we have been so far unable to get details on) between him and the bride, Rhys showed up to the reception?. late but he was there! And looking awfully fine even if he seemed a bit nervous and didn?t seem all that comfortable in his suit. Evidently, our source said there was a spark of chemistry between him and Duci who literally bumped into him as she was leaving. Ooooh! We need that to happen! What a cute couple they would make! Love that!

We hear that the happy couple ? Riley and that random guy she married ? seemed pretty thrilled the whole night. (But don?t they always in the beginning?) She was full of happy tears and squeals. And although this David guy seems a lot more low key than she is, he seemed to have a smile planted on most of the night. They mingled with their guests, danced the night away, and enjoyed the food. Our source reports back to us that Riley?s parents were in attendance and that they were ADORABLE and seemed quite happy for their daughter. How sweet!

Well, it was quite the fun affair according to all that attended. We wish the couple good luck. Considering this is RhyDin, your marriage will probably need it.

Ladies Gone Loco Thursday!

The Red Dragon Inn was quiet early Thursday night but the Inn never stays that way for long. Our sources spotted Alain and John in a very serious looking discussion. We?ve always said that it?s never a good sign for the city?s peace when Alain has his head together with another. We?re about 95% sure that he causes more problems than he fixes. The man is TROUBLE and he surrounds himself with like-minded people. That?s exactly what the ladies of this city find so appealing about him.

Anyway, our sources didn?t have any details about what the conversation was about. In fact, they say it was almost as if the pair were speaking in code by how vague they were. Again, not a good sign.

Wow. We never thought we would hear Eless? name in the same sentence with the phrase ?banana jello shooter? but we did! Evidently, she was getting wild with her naughty little friends which for the evening included Mimi, Kate (of course), Aja, and the tender on duty, Risa. Tucker scooted out just as the girls were beginning to get a bit crazy. The man has no sense. You don?t LEAVE WHEN GIRLS ARE GETTING DRUNK! Particularly if you have as piss poor luck with women as Tucker does. It would have been the perfect time for him to take one of those hot pieces of you-know-what back to his sad, little bachelor farm and do the deed?. which might finally get that stick out of his rear end. BAH!

Darien, however, did not go running as soon as the ladies started downing the drinks. Nope, instead he got flirty?. WHILE HIS WIFE WAS IN THE ROOM. Can the man get any sleazier??? Those people like to label me as the King of Sleaze but, seriously, I have the moral standards of a nun when compared to that man!

Kalamere also was more attracted by the inhibited women than afraid of them. We hear that he spent quite a bit of time flirting with Mimi. Careful, chickie, that man is as big a player as they come. We?re pretty sure that he has no intention on settling for any one woman. Why should he when most women he meets are all too willing to do just about anything to get into his bed???

While Darien was busy trying to grope a half-drunk Eless, Collie was fielding questions about the status of her uterus. One of our sources caught Petyr asking Collie if she was expecting. WHAT?!?!? What would put him under that impression. Yeah, sure, she?s sporting a bit of a gut these days but when you get older, your metabolism slows. We wouldn?t be shocked if she could still pop out babies at her extreme age. After all, the woman should be worshiped as a fertility goddess. Want to get pregnant? Go on a pilgrimage to Collie?s house. Collie didn?t deny the charge. She merely stated that if she was she?d tell her husband, not announce it in the Inn. What do you think? Is she or isn?t she?

Tara Goes Hunting Wednesday!

So we were on Kaylee?s side in this whole incestuous love triangle but, wow. Maybe her cousin was right not to get involved with her. We hear that she showed up in the Red Dragon Inn Wednesday night COMPLETELY self-involved and ridiculously over-the-top with a friend named, Summer. She was talking about getting wasted and ignored the people at the bar who were trying to introduce themselves. And with all her squealing she wouldn?t even let them have a drink in peace! Rude! She and her entourage that included Ollie and Cally and Rhae and Lola and Helena (who were told is Jonathan?s sister) were evidently celebrating a song that Kaylee wrote being played on the radio. While we found Kaylee?s behavior to be a bore, we were interested to see that Summer was acting quite flirtatious towards Ollie. What is it about that man that attracts the eyes of the friends? of the Granger girls??? He?s really not THAT good looking. Wouldn?t you love to see the Granger groupies ? Cally and Summer ? go at each other over him, though??? Maybe in some mud???

Some ruggedly handsome man named Ian was spotted in the Inn trying to woo the ladies. Careful! This one looks like a real player. He was seen flashing a flirty smile to several ladies but seemed to focus in on the lovely Mimi! We hear that he was overheard reciting poetry to her. Blah! Seriously??? Mimi wasn?t buying his act and told him to lay it on someone else. OMG! Love her! We doubt this playboy will have to look too far. RhyDin?s full of naive little things that will fall for his act! We have no doubt he?ll be supplying us with lots of juicy gossip!

Damien Tanner seems to have found himself a cutie. He was seen cuddling up to a pretty little blonde by the fire. We haven?t been able to find out much about her yet but we hear that her name is Vliss. Our sources say that they may even be living together already and that he definitely seemed pretty taken by her. We always knew he?d be a push over for a pretty face and, from what we hear, she?s definitely a pretty face.

Say it ain?t so! Our sources are pretty adamant that Edward was seen with a drop dead gorgeous woman last night. We have no idea what her name is but we don?t think she?s his sister if you know what we mean! Mack was there and she certainly didn?t seem to look upset that the pair was together but we?re not buying it. She reeeeaaaally seemed into this guy and we were really hoping that this would be the guy that would FINALLY start treating her right so she?d stop being a doormat for every loser that gave her a second?s worth of attention. We hope that this disappointment won?t send her right back into the arms of one of those jerks!

Insanity always rides shotgun with Crazy Train Tara but last night it was more literal than most nights when she arrived? WITH A HUNTING RIFLE!!! Seriously??? Where the hell is Lucky??? Isn?t it his job to make she doesn?t kill people inside the Inn. Panther is going to be very very very unhappy with her! Evidently she was looking for an orangutan wearing a thong. She fired multiple shots within the Inn, THREW GRENADES, and had people ducking for their lives! We?re not exactly sure how it ended. Our source feared for his life and got out while he still could! We certainly don?t blame him.

There wasn't much news to note in the Outback but we do hear that Skid made a rare public appearance. We have to wonder what sort of trouble he's been up to! He was seen chatting very briefly with Jaycy and then got a duel in against Dizzy before disappearing once again. We're positive whatever he's up to, it's got to be trouble!

Laughing At You Monday!

Ian wasn?t looking much like a smooth-talking playboy Monday night as he entered the Red Dragon Inn! We hear that he was tackled by an overly friendly dog as he came in and landed in a hard heap! We don?t know what is grosser ? his close encounter with the disgusting Inn floor or his close encounter with a dirty, smelly dog! Ian got little sympathy. The scene left both Mimi and Aja giggling like school girls! Usually, Ian, you want to make the women you?re trying to pick up laugh WITH you, not AT you.

The smell didn?t seem to bother Tara who now seems to have gotten her claws into Ian. We?re not horribly surprised. Tara?s never been too terribly picky. We don?t see this one ending well, though. Ian?s too much of a wanna-be player. Our bet is that Tara dusts off her flame thrower the first time she sees him running his scam on another girl. Act fast, ladies, if you?d like to get a piece of this man. He probably won?t be around long.

Has anyone else noticed that the word used to describe interactions between Kalamere and Mimi is usually ?awkward???? They both seem very careful not to step on one another?s toes. There is definitely some chemistry there. However, we?re not quite sure he?s into her. While they did spend quite a bit of time chatting, Kalamere admitted that his sole reason for going to the Inn that evening was to try to catch a certain student of his to discuss the upcoming Madness Tournament. Reeeeaaally??? We?ve definitely be wondering if Kalamere has a crush on that student!

Best friends and perennial fashion victims, Quinn and Mack, strutted their stuff into the Inn a bit later. The two girls have nice bodies so it?s a shame they dress like cheap hookers. The more time Mack spends with Quinn, the more she adopts Quinn?s tragic, too thin groupie look. It seemed Mack might be on her way to get over her last man. She was seen flirting it up with Aaron who ended up making the girls some dinner. Niiiice. We would be surprised by Mack?s talents but Aaron is really easy to please. All a pretty girl has to do is flash the kid a smile and he?d hand over his wallet. No questions asked.

Iiiiinteresting! We hear that Rhae (one of the multitude of Granger hangers-on) was seen in the Outback Monday night. Not only was she checking the place out but we hear that she even got into a ring against Matt! Now that takes some balls! She didn?t beat him but she did score two points before he got to five which, against Matt, is a real accomplishment. Maybe we were a little hasty to lump her in with some of the other shot-downing, too much skin revealed tramps.
