Gobstruck by Gobstones Manager

The importance men feel when they are in a position of power never fails to amaze this journalist. When an owner thinks he can use his position to get close to his female players we just have to reveal it to the public. Gobstone’s owner Matthew Whittebrook has been seen flirting player Brynja Dalgaard and buying her expensive gifts. The two were even caught playing footsie at a team meeting and making plans for dinner dates during practice times. Sources close to Dalgaard says the young woman is fully smitten by the older man and are concerned that his wife will come after her.

TDK Reunion Possible

Could Vesper Bayliss be back with The Dead Kneazles? This is what the students of Hogwarts are saying. The group was seen attending a student function to surprise their fans and, to everyone’s surprise, Vesper Bayliss was with them. The group seemed on very good terms with their former member, and rumors have been spreading that she has been seen with the band members a few times since their Hogwarts visit.

Quidditch is a Big Hairy Deal

Hair products seem to be the thing to get a player’s attention these days. It’s no secret that Tutshill Tornado players Alec Summers and Wade Potter have the best hair in the league, but what you may not know is that hair product talks.

Rumor has it that other teams have been trying to get this hair duo to switch teams, but no promises of pay increase or perks have tempted their loyalty to Cameron Bayless until now.  Kieran Kavanaugh, the Kenmare Kestrels manager, has been found buying the wiggy wonders expensive and top of the line shampoos, conditioners, and hairsprays - and the men have taken notice. Whether or not they are interested in moving to the Kestrels at the end of the season or are they just using Kavanaugh for the free products? Only time will tell.

Beater Baby Blues

What happens when pregnancy brain doesn’t end when your pregnancy does?  Just ask Pride of Portree beater Elise Stylinson.  Not only has she been spotted training her infant twins how to hold a bat, but sources close to Stylinson have reported her saying their official names are Bludger and Quaffle and that she doesn’t care if they are teased by other children. 

The Portree beater was overheard at practice telling other players about having more babies just to make up a full Quidditch team.   Teammates have been saying that she is forgetting her own practices and even showing up late for games because of her training sessions with her children. We hope her husband is watching out for his children and their well being, because clearly his wife has had a bludger to the head one too many times.

Dating Destiny for Disney

What does a Witch Weekly writer do when she wants to be on the pages instead of writing them? Start hanging out with as many celebrities as she can -  and getting her picture taken. Rumors have been spreading that Darcy Disney has been trying to get in with big names and finally was able to dig her nails into actor Art Vandelay. 

Vandley has been acting for years and has been connected with celebs like Justine Janvier and Elodie Robertser, but it seems that Miss Disney has caught his attention and it getting the public eye to notice her just as she had planned. The couple has gone public with their relationship and have already been spotted out snogging throughout London. Hopefully Art has his fun and gets something out of the relationship, since sources close to Darcy believe she is trying to get her name out there by using him.

Let’s be frank about Franks-Mundie

Is it possible that the King of Quidditch Scandal has even bigger secrets he’s hiding? It seems to be that the Beater sowed some wild oats in his youth, and not just his mysterious stint in the Australian league that led to his ban.  This reporter was minding his own business at the Three Broom Sticks when Joe Franks-Mundie appeared with a young lady that looked way too young even for the controversial hunk’s questionable tastes. Questioning the server, this reporter learned that Franks-Mundie dines with this young lady frequently, and that she is Franks-Mundie’s 15-year-old daughter Natalia Burov.

We’re shocked that the Quidditch star managed to hide this news from us for so many years, but the server was happy to provide more information in exchange for a WHiM investment in his uni fund.  Apparently, Natalia and Franks-Mundie were only acquainted a year ago, when the girl appeared on his door step.  Could this be the turn of one of our most irresistible bachelors into a family man?  Can the irrepressible Franks-Mundie be conquered by a teenage girl?

Bar Babies

We at WHiM are big fans of the Banner brothers and their grubby little bar down on Knockturn Alley.  Not only is The Thirteenth Use small and dark enough to feel like our own dirty little secret, but the staff is gorgeous and the drinks are only slightly watered down.

That being said, we have a question for you, brothers Banner... what the hell is up with your Bar Baby?  I’ve heard of mascots before, but I’ve never seen a baby set out on the bar before.  Especially not one dressed like a pumpkin and encouraging the leaving of tips.  “I’m a Baby, Spare a Sickle?”  Really?

According to Camden, the melted chocolate eyed second Banner who usually mans the bars on late nights, the Pumpkin is his nephew and I should mind my own business.  I said they were handsome.  I didn’t say they were sweet.

The Unknown Dangers of Quidditch Celebrity

Quidditch is a dangerous career choice - Bludgers to the head, falls from great heights, mid-air collisions, and that’s all assuming you’re not facing a Falcon with a particular death wish.  But for Blaise Thatcher, the new 18-year-old Keeper for the Chudley Cannons, the sport has taken a harrowing turn he never could have anticipated.

MLE records obtained by an anonymous inside source describe how Thatcher, upon leaving the Chudley field house last Thursday, was set upon by an unnamed attacker.  The attacker cast a Stupefication spell on the young man, which sent him tumbling face first to the ground.  The MLE report hypothesizes that the cast spell lacked sufficient strength to fully incapacitate the Quidditch player, and he was able to overpower his attacker before another spell could be cast.  Although his face was never seen, Thatcher reports that he was attacked by a male assailant of medium build with a Kestrals hooded jacket covering his hair and features.

The fact that the assailant has not been located and arrested is troubling, but more troubling is the fact that a random attack occurred on an unprotected player in broad daylight.  What sort of protection do our Quidditch celebrities need, and are our MLE and DMGS positioned to provide it?  Will the mad attacker strike again, or does he just have something against handsome Keepers?

Silver Enigma on the Outs Again

When musicians aren’t kept on a tight leash, they can get out of control... and that’s how their fans like them. 

What might not be good for fans, however, is the rumor circulating that Silver Enigma is on the verge of breaking up over singer Eri Byun’s apparent drinking problem.  The boy band’s troublemaker has been seen at pubs all over London, making a fool of himself night after night.  Several tabloids carry tales of last month’s arrest following a nude dash around town after a bet went wrong.

According to an anonymous groupie, the final straw was Eri’s declaration of love for bandmate Jun Kim’s cousin, a nameless relative rumored to be pregnant with Eri’s baby. After the altercation between the two members,  Silver Enigma’s label insists the lads are on good terms and everything will be fine.  Still, the stress of fame clearly is taking a toll on them.  It’s only a matter of time before another boy band bites the dust.

Where is Nessarose?

It seems that Keeper Fitzroy Hamilton is struggling to keep more than just quaffles from slipping through his hands.  The Caerphilly Catapults keeper has filed a missing persons report for fiancé Nessarose Glendower with the MLE. WADA students owled our tipline with the news that Hamilton was seen roaming the WADA campus, stopping students to ask if they had seen her.  The tipsters reported that the Quidditch player looked distraught, but at least one suggested Hamilton was hostile and secretive.

Those closest to Nessa are saying she was acting odd the days before her disappearance. Could the bride-to-be have slipped away to avoid marrying the Hamilton, or is it possible that he has something to do with why Nessa is missing? If anyone has any information about her whereabouts please contact the MLE immediately.

Bayless isn’t always more

It’s always fun (for us) when celebrities can’t keep their professional and private lives separate.  An example - it seems that there is family drama spinning around the Tutshill Tornadoes right now, just in time for the new season to begin.

Cameron Bayless, former manager of the Tornadoes, has recently become the owner. With this new title, you would think the Bayless family would be all smiles, at least in the face of renewed public scrutiny. Instead, the family is full of drama both on and off the pitch. Cameron’s wife, former Chudley Cannon’s player Raenne Bayless, has been seen hanging around her old stomping ground. Could there be disloyalty in the works? 

If that wasn’t enough for Bayless, he has a rough choice to make now that he is owner - his niece, who now lives with him, has a son with Tornado Kace Lecium, but, according to sources close to the family, Lecium has not been a very present parent.  Bayless’ first action as owner might be to remove the new chaser from the team. We always thought Bayless was a private man, but his dirty laundry is flapping for everyone to see.

With rumors that the oldest Bayless daughter Cinnamon has run off to Australia to marry her Hogwarts sweetheart Bart Culloden.  Rumor has it that there’s a bun in the oven, but at least this Bayless knows how to avoid WHiM prying eyes.  With this much drama at home, we’re left wondering how Cameron Bayless could manage a team... he can’t even manage what’s going on under his own roof. Tornadoes fans might want to prepare themselves for a rocky season.

WHiM wishes the happy little family well!

The Business of Speed

When you are the top of the food chain in the world of beautiful people, wouldn’t you have employees handle your day to day business?  That was the question many were asking Friday night when Kit Speed, Creative Director of Redlight photography was sighted in numerous clubs around town, drinking with some promising young fashion models. Speed doesn’t like to let anyone do the hobnobbing part of her job; she prefers to rub elbows with the commoners and sign her own deals.

Her latest find seems to be Syracuse Cash. The young newlywed was spotted out dancing and drinking with Speed into the early hours of Saturday morning. Cash’s wife confirmed that she was out with Speed to talk about an upcoming photo shoot, as well as working a deal for regular agency representation. Club goers noticed that the two were loud and seemed a bit closer than they should for a business deal.  Maybe it isn’t just photos that Speed is after.

Super Drama for Super Model

Elodie Robertser super model and party girl will not be a super mom any time soon. Over the weekend, the model was seen coming out of a women’s clinic that provides  abortions, among other services.  Has the young beauty found herself in a situation in which she wasn’t sure of the father, or did she not want to give up her looks for a child yet?

Sources close to the model say that she had just gotten her heart broken by an old classmate, Aidan Stone. If Robertser was going through a break up, then an added pregnancy might have been too much for the woman to handle.  If this is true, who is this Stone and what does he think about Robertser ending his chances of being a father? Neither were able to be reached for comments.
