the rumor mill "unCONFIRMED"

After his show in Page Auditorium, comedian B.J. Novak was spotted with DUU prez Cha Goonewardene at the James Joyce. Novak was later seen leaving the bar with a group of girls. We wonder how they compare to the Harvard girls of Novak's college days.

The weekend before the filming of "Main Street" began, Duke students reported multiple sightings of Legolas himself. Orlando Bloom was spotted at Whole Foods, Magnolia Grille, the WaDuke and around the Full Frame Documentary Film Festival. According to Indy Weekly, the star, who is playing a cop in his latest flick, was spotted alongside co-stars Colin Firth and Patricia Clarkson at the downtown Marriott's bar. We also heard some sorority sisters were doing some even heavier flirting, even tweeting, at the star after spotting him at the Bull City Bar. We're betting some girls wouldn't mind leaving the Joyce with this celeb.

Craving a LocoPop? Feeling presidential? Rumor has it Richard Brodhead's favorite frozen treat is the Mighty Mojito. Mighty indeed.

It's that time of year again, when frats get tired of "welcoming" their pledges and turn their attention to, well, other frats (although, when is it not that time?). Rumor has it a few fraternity composites were taken hostage. RM wonders what kind of ransoms the perps will demand.

And finally, a RM lesson in arithmetic: Oprah > Kingsolver, Obama > Oprah.... Rumor has it commencement's Oprah plans are just a front for a surprise presidential visit this May. As cool as that sounds we're pretty sure Obama won't be giving out free stuff. There's still hope with Oprah.
