The blog Crazy Days & Nights was created and is written by someone known as "Enty," who claims to be Hollywood lawyer. Several years ago, a commenter on the site under the username "HIMMM" gave details which seemed to point to his identity being Robert Downey Jr. (RDJ denied being this person).
It's worth noting that the above blind item GB posted was not by Enty but in his new "reader submitted blind items" section. While Enty claims to vet his own blind items (and some have proven true) no investigation is done into the "reader submitted" ones, which often seem more like wistful fantasies. Indeed there is speculation Enty may have turned the blog over to someone else recently because the quality has declined/changed somewhat (getting rid of all the content except blind items and adding these "reader submitted" ones which aren't checked at all. Enty used to write non-blind item content frequently and used to mention how he never, ever wrote blind items based on content sent to him by anonymous readers, it had to be stuff he had personal knowledge of, because rabid fans would try and anonymously submit fake stories to boost their faves or slander celebrities they didn't like and there was no way he had the resources to check such things).
The person who wrote this one admitted in the comments to having no actual personal connection to the Beatles, nevermind anything which would give them access to such info. I would guess they're probably in their teens or twenties. They seem to have written this fantasy based on a mish mash of JHP/McLennon community stories and fics. I base the guess of their age on their writing seeming Tumblr-like (a giant haven for fanfic of all types) and them slipping up on actual Beatles facts that probably happened long before they were born (for example, thinking Paul & Linda had divorced, stating both men came from poverty, confusing the timeline etc).
The bit about Paul & John being extremely poor teen prostitutes were mugged guys for money sounds a lot like a fic I once read ages ago on the old LJ community (sorry I don't remember the author). Other bits I recognize as cribbed from other fanfics (for example, yes_2day). If I was a follower of Beatles fanfic on Tumblr, I suspect I would recognize other parts of the story. I know this blind item touches on one of the cliches now in J/P fanfic: to paint Yoko as a crazy villain for learning about her husband's affair, while Linda is portrayed is a patient saint who is happy to disappear while her husband fucks someone else.
For some reason, I find the funniest bit the writer's claim (in the comments) that Paul McCartney ghostwrites for Taylor Swift. It's absurd for a bunch of reasons in reality, but aside from that it's funny because it has nothing to do with the original story. It seems like exactly the type of silly thing that would be added by a young fan who likes both artists but doesn't know enough about either.
The real Enty has written only three blind items about Paul over the years, none of them negative. (Enty reveals the answers to his blind items.)
