DailyTelegraph – The ‘instantly recognisable’ celebrity received a series of threatening letters from the blackmailer demanding cash in exchange for 27 images stored on one of two Apple Mac laptops which were taken in a burglary at her London home. The musician, who cannot be named for legal reasons, would have suffered enormous personal distress and humiliation if the photographs had been made public, a court heard. She has taken out a court order banning the media from disclosing her name, age, nationality and whether she is in a relationship or has children. The exact nature of what appeared in the photographs has not been disclosed.
Lily Allen!
Of course! Who else!
i was trying to figure out what would have been so damagin in those photos. Don’t ever saved anything on your computer that u don’t want people to see.
Amy Winehouse
Kylie
Yes, this isn’t the whole article, if you read the whole article, it gives out more clues. And the clues pretty much point to Kylie.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/8087031/Global-pop-star-blackmailed-with-highly-sensitive-photographs.html
Thats a link to the full article. Not sure what the clues pointing to Kylie are though…
Wasn’t Amy Winehouse robbed a while back? I say her…my 2nd guess is Madonna.
Amy’s house was burglarized on Jan 29th of this year.
Also, the house in this blind was robbed by someone who had stolen the star’s keys. She thinks she lost them at the hairdressers. So not Winehouse! And as Sean says there’s nothing that could shock.
Winehouse’s hair actually looks well-coiffed sometimes. The beehive is gone and she’s doing the real hair again, I believe, so could be her.
I like this guess.
M.I.A? shes a global pop star who is british-based and knowing her “…age, nationality and whether she is in a relationship or has children” would definitely give away her identity…
oooo best guess so far! i like it.
doesn’t she live in some crazy LA area mansion now?
she probably has a few houses….but shes based out of the UK with her family. and shes sri lankan…so that would be a HUGE indicator of who it was-if her nationality got out.
plus her husband is a business-man billionaire. he can’t have their dirty laundry airing out.
if it’s her, my guess is that it’s something that directly ties her to the tamil tigers.
MIA? Never heard of her
seriously?!? shes the “fly like paper get high like planes” singer…or however it goes. the hook was in the JayZ song…
You never saw the massacre of the gingers video? Some pretty heavy stuff actually.
I don’t generally like MIA’s stuff but that video and song blew me away. No pun intended, since I’m blond this week.
You should look it up if you’re not squeamish
A global pop star would be someone verrry well known all over ther world!
Yep I agree with Lily Allen! She is pregnant just now so the judge may have sympathised with her over the destress it would have caused.
What could possibly humiliate Amy Winehouse? There is nothing that would shock the public that she could be photographed doing.
Seriously.
Same thing I was thinking.
like wise
Other sites are saying the burglary happened in November. I like the Madonna guess.
Not Madonna. The full report says the star was asleep upstairs when burglarised and only one other person – a relative – was in the house. Madonna is always surrounded by a cast of 1000s.
And again, not much Madonna could do that would be a surprise. Incest or beastiality perhaps. Or both. Everything else we have already seen.
Very true.

BG, that’s a very real email address, I’ve had it for years. I understand why you would assume it’s a fake address, but it’s a very real email account that I use with that email provider. I would be happy to respond should you want to test the address. I have enjoyed your site for years and have used my email address to post before with no problems. sorry for the confusion. thanks
Hi Polk. Thanks for the explanation. That email address is still pinging our spam detector. Could you use a different one? Thanks. Love, BG
Doesn’t she live in New York now, anyway?
lisa marie presley?
gwen stefani? she had her house robbed in london last year…
Ooh, I would hate it to be her. Maybe it was just her and Kingston there? I could see that.
You know, she was the first person I thought of too. She lives in SoCal, but has a house in London and I wouldn’t be surprised if this happened to her.
I’m going with Goopy Paltrow ftw!
I would love if it was true, but she’s not a musician.
lol Don’t tell HER that.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
OK then why is she singing on the CMA show next week.
Because she likes to torture people.
So true, that big old fat APPLE logo, please.
it is shakira,I read that she had a three way with her goofy bf and their friend (guy), It is funny b/c she looks like at cat in heat everytime she “performs”, and she is worried about her image- please
Didn’t Guy beat up Madonna? Pics of that would be embarrassing!
Sean beat up Madonna, but that was almost 20 years ago at this point. The only pictures of that are in the possession of LAPD and her attorneys.
I think a fight between Guy and Madonna would be pretty evenly matched and it would be embarrassing for Guy.
I would post a link to the blind reveal here about Guy and Madonna but I don’t think it would be allowed.
do it and find out.
A lot of people do it. BG does not deny or confirm if youre right, so it wont matter.
I think they only censor BS links that are not credible, illegal or inhumane
Some followers post really good links!
I love links!
Lady = Lazy
Well, after that time they were photographed coming out of the sex toy store with a strap on in the bag…I don’t there is anything left to embarass Guy
How about Beckham? I’m sure Posh and David still have a place in London.
That was my first thought. I’m sure I remember reading their house was broken into within the last year or so.
Their house/estate is in Hertfordshire and I think they also have a lot of staff.
What about Susan Boyle?
Like it. “Instantly recognizable” – she’s become a household name and recognizable figure. Hmmmmmmm
Unless there were 2 burglaries, the only one I’ve heard of is the one where she was coming home and walked in on the intruder walking up the stairs in her house. The intruder was some teenage boy. He ran past her and out of the house. Didn’t have a chance to steal anything.
Susan Boyle lives in Scotland. No house in London.
There was a blind about Guy and Madonna awhile back on Lainey. Right about the time she “fell” off a horse.
It was one that Lainey revealed so pretty sure it was Madonna
Sade?
Shakira
I also thought of Shakira. That was the first name that popped into my head. I just don’t know if she has a house in London.
Extremely graphic/explicit images in certain situations could be “humiliating” in a sense to anyone, even Amy Winehouse. Just use your imagination…
Madonna possibly. At first I thought, “What kind of photos does it really take to make Madonna look anymore sexual or loose?” But then I realized that she has children. That’s so foul whoever did this. <3Madonna.
But, for me anyway, the reason the Madonna guess for this item doesn’t make any sense is because she has a crazy security team. So unless this was an inside job, I don’t buy that an intruder got into her home long enough to take off with anything, let alone computer files.
agreed
They didn’t want their nationality to be printed – sounds like she’s not British
She’s not a musician but I read that Kate Moss was robbed while she was asleep in the house, her mother was there too…just a guess and I can totally see her having some embarassing photos! OH and this is my first time posting…I look daily but have never posted!
Hi HMW! Glad you’re posting! Love, BG
after reading all these posts I have to say, if I were a celebrity, that last place I would want to live is London sheesh!
Kylie. Those kind of pictures would be shocking for her image.
Big name in the UK and elsewhere.
I should be so lucky.
does gaga have a london home??? she would qualify as instantly recognizable what with the outfits etc, nature ogf the pics could also relate not just to sexually explicit but could be drugs
Gaga has already admitted multiple times to doing drugs, so I’m not sure it’d be a huge deal if they were revealed.
Also, who really wants to see Steffani Germanotta having sex or doing bl*w without a bag over her face?
Gaga does not own a home as she is constantly on tour – she said this herself on stage last night. Her family have a home in New York.
Rihanna.
Does not own a home in London.
I think its Kylie.
Maybe its Lady Gaga doing drugs.
She does not own a home and says so herself. Her family’s home is in NYC.
I’m going out on a limb here and saying Ginger Spice, Geri Halliwell. Not that I think of her as a musician (but then neither is Madonna or Paltrow…) but she is international and she’s got a kid and she’s weird about her age.
Madonna is not a musician?????????
or lady gaga with normal clothes on being domestic.
Ha! Love it! I’m imagining mom jeans and Keds.
hahaha… or sweatpants and a nice warm cup of tea
strangely, i can imagine it :S
I bet it’s Rihanna. She was in London at the time of the robbery for a concert. And it was right after she broke up with Chris Brown.
Being in London for a concert and owning a home there are not the same thing.
Hmm…Leona Lewis, anyone? Only because she has a nice, clean image.
PS: I luuuuv blind gossip!
Hi Janus! Thanks. Love, BG
i wondered that too…
The photos could be demonstrative of her actually having a personality. Can see why she wouldn’t want them released! Ha ha.
Peter Burns
Cheryl Cole.
The apple is of a gay rainbow, my guess is this female is Bi and has nawty photo’s of her and a one night stand or two (good weekend).
Would not have a clue who this is about, but Gay & Lesbian need to start being themselves. Stop hiding and be free & happy with your lover.
Easier said than done, my friend.
Kylie with her sister Dani being the thief.
Major LOL! I think it could be Cheryl Cole…I’ve heard plenty rumours about her being gay with her bandmate…
I know the blind says there was a burglary but
Lily Allen is suing Apple over a hacked laptop
http://blog.intego.com/2010/09/20/lily-allens-mac-hacked-sues-apple/
Might be totally off the track but I thought it was funny that the blind mentions Apple and that’s who she’s suing.
Melanie Brown
It is Kylie…other sources confirmed this
details then!!
None really basically the person said they used to work at the tabloids, had access to the records and this is Kylie
I think it’s Kylie.
I heard on the radio a little while back that she was selling her London home because it was ‘too small’… which never rang true to me and apparently it’s huge. Incriminating photos would definitely ruin her reputation and she is global for sure, with enough cash to shut this up.
She put her house up for sale in the summer this year, the break in happened in November last year. 6 weeks later she receives blackmail, so that’s what… December, Jan? Plus time to do a police investigation, put it through lawyers and the courts…. I think this could be a fair guess. She’s also slashed the price as is desperate to sell, and she’s lived there since the 90′s. Why the sudden rush now?
Perhaps it is Kylie. A while back there was a blind about a woman who faked a serious illness. One of the popular guesses was Kylie. Maybe the burglar found proof that her cancer was fake.
That was def Delta Goodrem.
It’s Vadge of course! Everyone else named is already effed up big time and nothing could shock the world anymore – except if it was Kylie.
jumping on the kylie bandwagon, i think the nationality thing is a clue. there aren’t any other super-famous australian singers in the UK, so if her nationality was revealed we’d all know it was kylie straight away. i wonder what the photos are of?
Jumping on the Kylie bandwagon — rainbow Apple logo for me links to her huge gay fanbase
It’s Kanye?????? http://www.dlisted.com/node/39429
I just read Keira Knightley was “mortified” at the theft of some laptops at her home. I know the blind says musician, but I wonder…
I think it’s her too. The article says the break in happened Oct. 26, and this blind was posted the 27th. I wonder if “pop star” is just to throw us off…
It’s Keira Knightly! There was an article on AO Smell this morning about her stolen laptops! Do I win something, lol?
What would be so shocking on that laptop, anyway? Videos of her attached to a A home-made liposuction machine?
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1326138/Keira-Knightleys-1-3m-London-flat-ransacked-thieves.html
Not a pop star but it all seems to fit…
Keira Knightley.
Keira Knightley. Here is another link:
http://thesun.mobi/sol/homepage/showbiz/bizarre/3209584/Keira-Knightleys-London-home-is-burgled.html?mob=1
Is this considered solved now?
It was on E! last night that it was Keira Knightley….so what’s with the pop star clue?
This is old as but it’s Annie Lennox.
