I Love Blind Items ! #2

[polly]

Quote:
This B- list actress from a show that was recently dropped is engaged. The thing is though no paps or tabloids care enough to actually ask her anything about it. This is just not acceptable to her so she has personally started telling every pap she runs into about her engagement but they still don't care to write about it or mention it. This is a direct result of her always being difficult to them in the past so they don't feel like doing her any favors.

Probably way wrong but for some reason I thought of Christina Applegate? I think her show was dropped this year, but I have no idea if she got engaged or not. Or if she was rude to paps. There are so many blind items posted I felt like I had to make shots in the dark!

"Former tweener" and "Former tweener's girlfriend" are Zac and Vanessa; "Foreign Born Actor" is Hugh Dancy, and his wife is Claire Danes. I think he might have meant it as a kind of sarcasm, though, and it just didn't translate well...

new BI from Lainey:

It was mystifying several years ago why she was hyped the way she was hyped. Just another starlet with no real significant starring vehicles somehow ending up with a prestigious magazine cover proclaiming her as the next It. Well It never happened. And after all this time and a string of failures, she’s been trying to change the course. So she’s gone back to the major player who tried to make it happen for her the first time. There was an arrangement back then – her sexual services for his professional services – and apparently the same arrangement was resurrected recently in the hopes that she’ll finally confirm a juicy role to kickstart a stagnant career.

Never mind that he’s married. His wife benefits handsomely from his generosity and while he may not fulfill her with fidelity, he certainly makes up for it through client exchange. Probably better that way. And given what he looks like, it totally makes sense. But he is a legend in the business both for his accomplishments and for the way he leads these ladies to their accomplishments, counting a couple of award winners and a few box office heavyweights on his resumé…which is why he quickly tired of our poor girl and discarded her.

But not before drying her out. One day late summer, they were joined in a hotel suite by a third gentleman (identity insignificant), both of them enjoying her as she allowed herself to be taken, and, um, decorated appropriately, all for a reward at the end of the session – the privilege of simply looking at a script, no promise, no confirmation…just an advance read. And a suggestion to show up at a premiere for a few introductions. She is so desperate, it’s been so meagre, she submitted to the humiliation although gamely seems to have enjoyed it. An actor after all, obviously able to shut out her husband and child waiting for her back at home.

And then he just cut it off. Told her he could no longer help her. That her body in his bed was no longer required. Which of course only added to her degradation. She tried and tried to offer up more, willing to engage in further depravity, but was only met with rejection. Because he’s moved on. He’s hunting his next target. A young, nubile, blonde babe with a large profile and a perky rack who so far has been able to resist his advances but is trying to graduate from supporting roles in film, as the fact that she’s a headliner on the small screen has not helped with the quality of scripts she’s being offered, or with many of her auditions so far. She’s currently waiting on a big break and he’s trying to make sure it doesn’t happen, so that in her disappointment, she’ll come running to him, ready to wheel and deal.

Note: there are 4 famous names at play – the reject, the replacement, the power player, and his wife.

 

[Alvedansen]

i was just about to post that...no idea about the others really, but the last "new" blonde girl sounds like blake lively? she's the lead on GG, known for her great body/showing it off and has been in some movies, but only as supporting actress.

 

[Harumi]

^^ohh, this one is very juicy. The answers are pretty obvious for Lainey regulars, though:

the reject: Jessica Alba

the replacement: Blake Lively

the power player: Harvey Weinstein

his wife: Georgina Chapman

 

[Working Girl]

It can't be Jessica Alba. She hasn't been in prestigious magazine proclaiming her the next IT. Jessica Biel has been on the vanity fair hollywood issue.

.

 

[dajrekshn]

but jessica doesn't have a husband and a child at home.

 

[Working Girl]

^^ Oops my bad. Harvey is so nasty. He sure knows how to go after mediocre actresses.

Resist Blake, Resist.

 

[dajrekshn]

Lainey has been hinting for ages about Harvey being after Blake.
the whole story is creepy and sleazy. :barf:

 

[Harumi]

It can't be Jessica Alba. She hasn't been in prestigious magazine proclaiming her the next IT.

Jesssica Alba was everywhere a few years ago. She had all the covers except Vogue US.

Everything else fits too: she is married with a child, she used to be a Weinstein protégé at the begining of her movie career, she was hyped to death (remember Fantastic Four, sexiest woman alive lists, etc.).
It's hard to remember how big she used to be because she is now a total she is a has been but she was what Megan Fox is today (and hopefully Megan will go the same route).

It's definitely her.

 

[Boomer]

^ You know, all the names fit perfectly...and from day one, when I barely knew who he was, my skin crawls whenever I see Harvey- particularly when he's with his beautiful wife...And poor Blake, who seems to be the sweetest girl when I see her on interview shows...No wonder substance abuse is so rampant amongst young starlets- this is disgusting (and I believe every word of it...) I often wonder if I had a daughter what I would say to her if she wanted to model or go into show business- this sort of thing would make the decision for me...

Well the Jessica Alba I know now is a joke. But I do vaguely remember her being everywhere.

I really don't care about Harvey and Jessica. She is a b*tch. But poor Blake. Not only is her family weird. There is a powerful man with a pot belly going after her.

 

[Cinthia]

people on onotheydidnt guessed gretchen mol for the reject and i think she fits perfectly.

 

[Boomer]

^ Was she heavily promoted and everywhere, though? I always kind of thought of her as B-/C+ List in any case...

 

[Jennika]

Gretchen Mol is a great guess, especially since she had that random Vanity Fair cover that was very hyped, but her career went nowhere.

 

[brokenenglish]

^ Does she have a child?

 

[Cinthia]

yes, Ptolemy, born in 2007.

from ONTD:

vanity fair 1998...

Hollywood issue cover



gretchen at the inglourious basterds premiere..



and blake with weinstein



vanity fair 2008


i hope this story is fake because its so sad and disgusting.

 

[Boomer]

^ Yeah, I hope so too, just the mental images alone...

 

[iluvjeisa]

Gretchen Mol is a great guess, especially since she had that random Vanity Fair cover that was very hyped, but her career went nowhere.

And that would certainly be a similar physical type as Blake.

Eh, he has no history with the prototype - Meryl Streep?

 

[MyNameIs]

This BI is SO sad and tragic.
