Top Ten Things You Need to Know to Stay in the Know!

10. We're getting word that Kai is not dying anymore. We have to admit that we didn't know she was dying in the first place but if there are those of you with better sources than us and did know, rest assured, she is now better! She was overheard telling Thorn that there are now some differences to her. For one, her hair seems to be growing in a platinum blonde color. She's also been seeing hanging with some sort of odd little furball. It looks like someone took a fox, a cat, and a squirrel and mashed them all together. Iiinteresting!

9. An all ranks tournament was held this past Wednesday in Duel of Magic to find a new Keeper for the Tower of Fire! Some crazy little blue-skinned girl named Jesse was just on F-I-R-E! Oh, come off it. You know you love our puns. Jesse started off with a perfect 5-0 shutout in five rounds and then slammed through the rest of the competition not losing A SINGLE MATCH! Amazing. Congratulations, Jesse!

8. Saturday, May 19th, will mark the grand opening of the RhyDin Roller Haus! RhyDin's very own roller skating rink! The theme will be a disco party and will start at 9 PM. There will be door prizes, discounted drinks, and free food. We hear that out very own Cheyenne Daniels is working there and helping out with promotions..... and where there's one Daniels, you can usually count on a handful more!

7.  Anubis challenged Candy for the right to hold FireStar and the pair met up to duke it out in the Outback this past Tuesday! We hear that it was a pretty nasty match-up. Not that it's all that surprising considering the reputation Anubis has with women. However, we hear that there was a not so nice remark made by Jay about letting the pair of them kill each other, noting "Problem solved." We're not exactly sure what problem he's referring to, though. Strong words there! Buuuut the man did NOT reign supreme in this match. Candy took both duels in the best of three with scores of 5-2 and 5-4. And, thus, defended her title!

6. Governor Fio was seen heading into the Inn looking awfully chummy with RhyDin's shadiest journalist, Darien Fenner. With the doors closed on the RhyDin Post, one has to wonder what the pair of them have to be so chatty about. Our sources tell us that Alain was in the Inn at the time and did NOT look pleased. It seems like there are a lot of people who want Fio in their pocket and aren't very happy to see her getting chummy with the opposition. Rumor has it that there is a long-standing bit of tension between Fenner and DeMuer as neither trusts the other. We're left wondering. Are the men manipulating the governor or is she manipulating them???

5. I got to personally lay my eyes on this one! Caroline Granger is pregnant! There was no way to keep that baby bump on the d-l when she walked into the GAC meeting Monday night! She was looking adorable in a bright blue cowl neck top and black pants and when asked said she was due in October! Fan-freaking-tastic! The baby's father's name is Richmond (we hear they're engaged to marry -- he sure as hell better make an honest woman out of her!!!) and he is a DEAD RINGER for Edward Batten. In fact, if Ed and Richmond hadn't met (and complimented one another on how good looking the other was) we'd be POSITIVE that Caroline Granger got knocked up by Edward Batten. Now THAT would be some gossip. Edward is waaaay into the techie stuff. Maybe he's trying to spread his DNA into the Granger clan by cloning himself and then letting the clone loose on Carolina Granger. Talk about hostile takeover!

4. 101.1 WHAM and Reilly Recording paired up for a speed dating event. A couple of people seemed to find interested parties and we were introduced to a couple good looking RhyDin citizens! DJ Yas kept the party moving and is quickly becoming one of RhyDin's HOTTEST DJs. Her stock is definitely on the rise! There was a cute reunion between Jack and her air fleet beau, Hunter. There were hugs, kisses, and tears before the pair skirted off for some alooooone time! Kingsley grabbed the attention of Katan but we're still not entirely sure that Minoko doesn't have a thing for Katan. She certainly seems to like to push his buttons! We're interested to see where this Reilly Recording is going to head! We hope for good things to come!

3. G'nort is back on the market, ladies.... or is he??? Numerous sources (we're highly ticked he didn't give us the exclusive) are reporting that G'nort has filed for a divorce from his often absent wife, Kaja. This would be G'nort's THIRD failed marriage! Wowzers! Rumor has it that he's claiming that he is done with the whole marriage thing but that doesn't mean he's swearing off women. Considered one of RhyDin's premier playboys, he's already been seen hanging out in the company of a lovely beauty named Mercedes. Knowing G'nort, there will be plenty more where she came from. He can't be too terribly serious considering last week he had his dating profile submitted to WHAM's dating event! We here at the Den of Gossip are glad that G'nort's single again. Life in RhyDin is always a bit juicier when that man's on the prowl!

2. The May Government Advisory Council took place this past Monday with Governor Fio running the meeting. Yours Truly was present, of course, as one of the councilors. What sort of city do you live in that my opinion is one that people believes speaks for the people and should be consulted in regards to matters of state? Hahahaha! Oh, come on. I know you were all thinking the same thing! ANYWAY! There was some nonsense about a private volunteer naval guard failing to come together and the small business relief fund giving out some loan. Blahblahblah. Oh! But there was also talk of paaaaarties and you know that's what we love here in the Den of Gossip. Supposedly, the premier of 21Twelve's newest flick will be June 9th! We hear that after the meeting Fio and Ed had their heads together and he was seen slipping her some sort of device. Yet another rich and powerful man with the ear of the governor! Andu announced he was having a PJ party. Uh... is it just us or is this cute when Rekah suggests it and sort of sketchy when suggested by Andu. Yeah, we didn't think it was just us. Finally, we hear that after the meeting Tass was overheard saying that he was going to try to get Larook Helston to run for governor! No lie! This is the same Larook Helston who has his own line of sex toys! If he won, it would certainly be an interesting number of people with a Helston background to have held that spot!

1. The Gubernatorial election schedule has been announced! Rumor has it that Fio will be running for reelection and we hear that many of her council have already voiced that they will support her reelection campaign. We have to wonder if the same can be said for former governor and current councilor Matthew Simon??? Will Matt be trying to take back the mantle? Will Cor throw his hat into the ring... again? Will Kitty decide to have another go at it? Maybe Alain's political aspirations will finally put him on the opposite side of the ring from his good friend, Fio. This campaign is gearing up to have quite a bit of drama. We'll find out by May 27th as everyone must throw their hat into the ring by that date!

101.1 WHAM's Speed Dating Event!

How is this not a regular event in RhyDin already? Maybe because it's like the Inn on any given Saturday night? We LOVE it, though! What better is there for the gossip industry but to throw a bunch of singles into a room and let them go at one another! Must! Become! A! Monthly! Event! ....And guess who got their hands on the dating profiles??? HAHAHAHA!

Reilly Recording which had sponsored the event made sure the Great Hall was completely transformed into one hell of a dance club! Overnight it became the hottest place in town! There was a large dance floor with DJ Zazzy Yas in the booth but also plenty of booths, tables, and quiet nooks to get your romantic freak on!

The lovely Kingsley caught the attention of a guy very quickly! Not that we are surprised. His name is Katan and we, unfortunately, couldn't get our hands on his dating profile. Our sources say that he looked quite young, but was overheard saying he's twenty-seven! No, no, no. Kingsley is still not out of her teens and seems to attract the attention of men much too old for her! Case in point? This Katan guy talked her into drinking and she ended up stumbling her way out to get pizza with him. It's a match but... eh. I don't know about you all but we're hoping to hell that it doesn't stick.

Interestingly enough, although Katan seemed to be into Kingsley, one of our interns pointed out that on Kingsley's friend, Minoko's profile, there were some veeeeery flattering comments about Katan! We hear that they're "just friends" but if Minoko wants to get guys while talking up her friend... well, that's not how to go about it, dearie! She was seen watching Katan and Kingsley QUITE a bit but did get in a dance with... well, in his profile he calls himself an "anthropomorphic wolf". No idea. His name, though, is Haru and he did seem interested in Minoko. We're just not sure how interested she is in him.

Iona was around but didn't stay too long. Too bad. She is such a cutie and has been entirely unlucky in love lately! She always keeps her head up!

Another interesting woman spotted who our sources didn't see much of? Karen Reilly, the CEO of Reilly Recording! She is veeeery lovely albeit a bit on the serious looking side. We hear that she's quite married to her job and seeing Reilly Recording succeed so it might explain why she didn't have a lot of time to hang with the interesting men who showed up to the party her company was sponsering.

There was a cute chick named Jack working on the sound system for Yas who practically burst into tears upon spotting a certain man. We hear his name is Hunter and, considering his dress uniform, we're guessing he's in one air fleet or another. They CERTAINLY seem to have a history and there was no doubt that this was some sort of reunion. There were kisses and whispering and eventually the pair left together. Hand in hand. Too cute!
