I Love Blind Items ! #3

It could well be LV.

 

[missbluejean]

If it's LV, then I really didn't notice. The rest of the issue featured a lot of their clothes anyway.

 

[dajrekshn]

so, after Vogue Paris showed its teeth to Balenciaga, now it's Anna's turn to show she's not irrelevant either?

 

[saann]

^more like the other way around, LV is showing that Vogue is irrelevant

or did I read it wrong?

that's the main problem with this BI, i didn't get it either.
advertiser of LVMH or Vogue's pulled out? i think you're right, it's LV who pulled.

 

[dpbenson]

Louis Vuitton

I can't find it in there....Gucci I find, but not LV.

Yes, I double-checked. Louis Vuitton is not there.

The BI said the advertiser (Louis Vuitton) pulled at the last minute to show Vogue how irrelevant they were. I wonder what was at the bottom of this power play?

Re #327:

Is the perpetrator or is Louis Vuitton or LVMH? My guess is that it is LVMH. At the same time, LVMH bought ad space for their other brands like Dior, Donna Karan, Marc Jacobs, right? If I had to further guess this is more about the money side, LVMH wanting a bulk discount or something like that than the editorial side (wanting their labels featured) - although I would not be surprised if they showed teeth there if they felt that labels who did a lower volume of business with Vogue got more editorial coverage, but it's not as if LVMH's stuff does not get featured regularly.

If LV were slated for the slot in the September issue that they have had resided at since the, what, 60s....I certainly think it would be a bit of a shock the Vogue staff if LV pulled them out just hours before publication...

Would be interesting to know why so anyone who has a good guess based on a set of empirical criteria please do enlighten the rest of us mindless drones....

 

[dajrekshn]

half of a BI?! interesting nevertheless, IMO:

You go to enough of these things and you start to recognize the people, even if the faces change.

That Starlet has problems, everyone knows about it but so far the public hasn’t gotten wind. They will when she stumbles out of here at 3 AM, panties long gone and a suspicious powder all down her front. There’s That One Actor, not super famous but works steadily—everybody is making a point to say hi to him. The Newly Famous Guy is here and no one is sure why because his music/movie/TV show isn’t represented but then, he needs to be seen with this crowd. And over there is the Screen Queen—gosh she’s as pretty in person as she is on film, and that’s rare. But mostly the crowd is press and businesspeople, the ones who keep the Hollywood wheels turning.

Then there’s this greaseball in the middle of the room, surrounded by wannabes, waving a drink around as he gestures wildly and calls all the waitresses “baby”. He’s wearing an Ed Hardy shirt under a blazer and has his Aviators on. (It’s eleven o’clock and night and you’re inside.) He talks so loudly you can’t help but overhear. “Yeah I’ve got that project with Universal; they’ve given me thirty mill. I’m interviewing directors now, but I think I’m going to hire that guy that makes all the music videos. He really knows What The Kids Want To See.”

Roll your eyes and try to get past the traffic jam he’s creating, the crowd of Hopeful Young Things growing steadily as he name-checks everybody in Hollywood. Even a couple waiters have stopped to listen. “We’ve been talking to Ryan—no, not that one, the better looking one—and he thinks this is something special.”

Now you’re just trying not to laugh out loud and make a scene. You know That Ryan is long past the time where he had to return this creep’s calls. You’re almost past the knot of people when you hear: “Kate Bosworth and Rachel Bilson are on board.”*

Your martini attempts to come out your nose as you stifle a laugh. Kate Bosworth *and* Rachel Bilson? You look at your friend and you’re on the same wavelength. What’s this movie called, “Worthless and Worthlesser”? Who would hire either of these chicks, let alone both of them? You glance back at Sunglasses At Night. Well, yeah, that guy would. But guys like that, they talk a big game and usually nothing comes of it. “On board” means “I have Fed-Ex’ed them a script”.

Finally past the crowd and you spot two unprepossessing men in the corner. They’re well dressed but not ostentatious. One man is speaking quietly, the other has his chin in his hand as he stares at his feet, listening intently. He nods a couple times and never looks directly at the man talking to him. After a few minutes they both smile and shake hands, melting into the crowd to go their separate ways. No one is paying them any attention. A Deal has just been made.

*Actual conversation overheard by Lainey last night at TIFF.

^ I have no idea who any of those people might be...

 

[Caroliiine]

My guesses:

That Ryan = Ryan Reynolds (and the Other Ryan is probably Gosling)
Guy that makes all the music videos = Joseph Kahn or Francis Lawrence probably
Screen Queen = Marion Cotillard
That Starlet = Emma Roberts

Here's a link to the list of TIFF attendees: http://arts.nationalpost.com/2010/08/24/tiff-2010-festival-confirms-this-years-attendees/

 

[kokobombon]

Pics should indicate who was That Ryan, can´t miss what he was wearing... though my guess would be Ryan Phillippe but I doubt he was there.

I´d say that That Starlet is also Emma Roberts.

No, the Ed Hardy/greaseball guy isn't That Ryan. He's a movie producer who just got $30 million from Universal to make a film. He was talking about wanting to put That Ryan in a film.

Also, all three Ryans were confirmed to attend TIFF: Gosling, Reynolds, Phillippe.

 

[kokobombon]

^oh, thanks for clarifying

 

[dajrekshn]

i don't think screen queen is Marion, she just arrived to Toronto today.

anyhow, another set of BIs and one Reveal:

These two Television costars who have been rumored to have hooked up in the past, are now inviting other members of the popular show in on their games. In fact, we have it on good authority that at least one other big name in the cast has experimented with the couple. Since the couple (one married, one not) do not take things too seriously, they see no harm in bringing in other people to their affair just to spice things up a bit. The thr*esome of which we speak of, allegedly happened on set, after filming and drugs were involved! It is not the cast from Heroes. BuzzFoto

Reveal:True Blood cast

An up and coming starlet whispered to a friend of hers that the reason she just landed a new role in a very popular movie that will be coming out this year is because her mother was willing to sleep with a few people involved in casting. It landed her the role according to the underage star. Ewww

2. A certain multi-talented actress was backstage during the recent run-through of a talk show. While the host was trying out introductory bits, he made a remark about this actress’ husband being the “shortest man in the world”. She could have been annoyed or shocked but instead let out a bigger laugh than anyone else. BlindGossip

3. We don’t want to ruin the magic for you, but this D list star claims to our source that he lost his virginity on a ride at a very popular and famous theme park. BuzzFoto

4. It is rumored that after this cable television star filmed an award winning episode for his show, he threw up several times afterward because of the graphic nature of the scene and the intense pressure he put into the violent role. BuzzFo

5. These two comedian costars who are known to be friends off stage but bitter enemies in their popular movie, are no longer buddy-buddy in real life either. It happened on the set of their latest movie when one of the stars decided to play a trick on the other (who is severely allergic to peanut butter) by slipping peanuts into his food. When he went into anaphylactic shock and had to be taken to the hospital, halting production, their relationship has never been the same. BuzzFoto

6. Word from a certain lake in Italy is that this heavily closeted Tinseltown actor has ditched the personal trainer/hairdresser/assistant he’s been having a relationship with for years in favour of a very pretty 17-year-old. He’s said to be besotted but even his regular entourage are worried the lad in question may not have the purest motives. Sorry, no more clues. PopBitch

 

[Decalion]

Clooney isn't gay

Guy that makes all the music videos = Spike Jonze?

 

[beauxgoris]

Wow, sure sounds like Clooney.

 

[shoesexy]

Multi-talented married to shortest man in the world is Katie Holmes.

 

[Caroliiine]

Katie Holmes is multi-talented?

^My thoughts exactly (I'd just add a few more question marks). Unless this is considered a demonstration of multiple talents:
