Today's Blind Items
This aging former A list movie actor has always seemed washed up. Even his characters had that look about them. He has always been a drinker. Some drugs, but mainly a drinker. He always drinks before television appearances, no matter the time of day they are filmed. That has always happened. His most recent behavior is not. Lately when he gets drunk he has been going to all of his old homes at all hours of the day and night. He rings the bell and when the owner answers says he used to live there and then invites himself in. He basically crashes in the house for 3 or 4 hours. Sometimes he tells stories and other times he just mumbles. One family called the police, but our actor was not arrested.
So this fashion designer is having a big show tonight in LA. Although he has been down and out before, he has taken on a J-Hud divaesque kind of air about him. The only people invited tonight are the elite of the elite. Old friends and acquaintances shouldn't bother showing up. They aren't wanted.
Nick Nolte is #1.
ReplyDeletewww.literaryhipsternerd.blogspot.com
Yeah I thought Nick Nolte
ReplyDeleteYup, I agree on Nick Nolte.
ReplyDeleteWhere is Tom Ford lately? Rehab?
1. Nick Nolte
ReplyDelete2. Karl Lagerfeld. He just launched a new collection in December.
Pish and tosh for Tom Ford as #2. His new ladies' fragrance is a big hit (and one does have a birthday coming up, EL). Rather, it's Marc Jacobs that just hit the 'hab (for the brown powder, as it's been hinted elsewhere), but I don't know if it's him either for this BI - I wonder if it's someone older, perhaps.
ReplyDeleteGolf clap for the Nick Nolte guessers, by the way.
#1. Nick Nolte
ReplyDelete#2. Karl Lagerfield
anyone else notice that he gave away the jackass one earlier in his post?
ReplyDeleteGood call on the Nolte guess - my mind automatically went towards Bruce Willis.
ReplyDeleteAnon @ 1:02 - I did, and I asked about it in a post earlier this morning when I saw the item on TMZ.com. Sure seems to fit, in my book.
ReplyDeletebtw, I would think it should be pretty doable to narrow down #2. Anyone in the mood to do a search for the big shows in LA tonight?
ReplyDeleteI was going to guess Nick Cage for #1
ReplyDeletebut I think he favours drugs over booze
ReplyDeletei thought 1 might be stallone? seems to fit...
ReplyDeleteIm guessing Jack Nicholson for number !....no doubt there and Marc Jacobs for number 2 becasue he just left 'hab and doesnt want the junkies hanging aorund.
ReplyDeletei thought the second one could be the guy who won project runway....jeffrey something. i remember something about him being "down and out" aka broke before. just a guess though. -veronica
ReplyDeletei thought mel gibson
ReplyDeletei dont consider nick nolte a list
Emanuel Ungaro is showing his spring/summer collection tonight...
ReplyDeleteSB 1:06...which jackass post? I'm lost today...
ReplyDeleteUgh nevermind...found it...I'm a jackass today
ReplyDeleteCould #1 be Sylvester Stallone? About ten years ago, he showed up at my friend's house (in Silver Spring, Maryland) one night with his girlfriend in tow, and explained that he used to live in the house when he was a kid and wanted to show her around. He didn't fall asleep. But he IS famous for mumbling.
ReplyDeletethis is gross but I read on someones site years ago where stallone likes to leave poop logs in the shower. its why he has a hard time keeping a maid. little rocky rambo is a scatman! eww
ReplyDeleteOh please, Karl Lagerfeld has always been a snotty princess. The way it was written sounds like the designer has just begun acting like a diva. I think it's Marc Jacobs too, sadly.. love him.
ReplyDeletea J-Hud divaesque kind of air about him
ReplyDeletelove it too much!!!
What about Danny Davito? Wasnt he just on the View drunk as a skunk? That's a "television appearance". He always looks haggered too.
ReplyDeleteI feel pretty sure #2 is Jeffrey Sebelia from Project Runway. Number 1, I dunno, Kevin Costner?
ReplyDelete~ Stacey
No, it's not Jeffrey, it's Michael Knight...now referring to himself as Mychael, for god's sakes. He's black, he's up and coming and he's a diva...check out his new site:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.mychaelknight.com/
mmm, hmm...
I forgot to add... However insufferable he might be, he's a damn good designer.
ReplyDeletexo, dvz
He may be all those things, dvz, but it doesn't actually say up and coming, it says "someone who's been down and out before."
ReplyDeleteI could definitely be wrong, but I think it's a person with a longer career than just Project Runway.
Possibilities:
Nino Cerruti declared bankruptcy in 2005, Isaac Mizrahi did the same in 2004 and Marc Jacobs entered rehab on March 13 of this year.
Ruled out:
Karl Lagerfeld--diva since birth (likely in-utero)
#1 Is William Shatner sober now?
ReplyDelete#2Jeffery sebelia(sp?)maybe?
divaesque, JHud, clues scream reality show connection, a newbie with inappropriate sense of entitlement etc
Marc Jacobs, Lagerfeld etc have ALWAYS been divas.... wouldnt raise an eyebrow now.
That Mychael sounds a right twat too.
This is a question that has nothing to do w/ the BI, but what's the deal w/ the message board? I thought that the point was to put blinds there and non anons could post/guess there. It seems like a bunch of random personal rants and messages, which is fine, but not about guessing at all. BTW, I have no choice re: posting anon from work as I know many fellow slackers do.
ReplyDelete5:05, the message boards have degenerated with everything else about this blog. I blame the ONTD crew who seems to make it their personal mission to ruin any site that is not their own.
ReplyDeleteD'amn right I'm signing this Anonymous!
Never knew that 6:00, how can you be so sure about that? Do you mean the site owners or just the commentators?
ReplyDelete(BOOMING VOICE AS IF COMING FROM THE HEAVENS...) "This is ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER...You must BELIEVE, oh anonymous ones, lest you be shamed and kept from the inner circle including Hez, Pinky, that basketball chick, er, Betsy-someone, that Redundant one, and, of course, the aptly-named Rick the Prick. They are my chosen, non-blind ones, and what a witty bunch they are, especially that Hez...Hez, do not allow them to wear you down, just because you are my secret moderator, refer to how you personally speak to me, and are all over the message board and comments, and your "voice" sounds like mine. Okay, back to my thriving legal practice and trolling the internet..."
ReplyDeleteSounds like Jack Nicholson his characters always look washed up.
ReplyDeleteWow 3 posts and I am in the inner circle? Go me!! Id like to thank EL for this prestigious honor. Would it give away my non-worthiness if I ask what ONTD was?
ReplyDeleteWilliam Shatner for #1? He always seems drunk IMO.
Oops I was so excited about my appointment I didnt re-read the clue thoroughly before posting. Shatner wouldnt be A-list. I say Jack Nicholson. He seemed out of it at the Oscars and laughing at nothing.
ReplyDeletePlease EL dont take away my coveted position I will be more careful about posting I swear. LOL
Yeah, but Nicholson has always been A-list, never considered washed up or a has-been (at least not in recent memory)... so I would vote Nick Nolte over him. He's definitely had his almost A list moments...
ReplyDeleteYeah, but Nicholson has always been A-list, never considered washed up or a has-been (at least not in recent memory)... so I would vote Nick Nolte over him. He's definitely had his almost A list moments...
ReplyDeleteThis is totally off topic but I can't help it. Dlisted is pisses me off, MK has a stupid bunch of "regular" posters. IMO a bunch of middle-aged ladies that just chat amongst themselves and never knowledge any other comments. They're not even funny. Ok thank you for letting me vent :)
ReplyDeleteLol anon 8:15. I hate that too. And Mistic you are right. Jack might be crazy but hes not washed up. I change my vote to Nick Nolte. His mug shot still haunts me.
ReplyDeleteI'm going with Stallone:
ReplyDeleteAging former A-lister-definitely A-list in the early Rocky/Rambo days
Always seemed washed up-being a washed up boxer making a comeback has been the running thread in just about every Rocky remake he has made
Some drugs-recently found with steroids
Alcohol-always sound punch drunk
"Rings the bell"-boxing reference
Mumbles-definitely fits
7:02 AM! Wow, quite a long day of pathetic "debunking" and ad hominem attacks ahead for you, Santa Cop.
ReplyDeleteGood thing you warmed up your Loser muscle with that colossally LAME post. Wouldn't want you to get a cramp.
Ok MzMary I am flaky today and that makes sense about the ringing the bell. Sly could very well be the answer.
ReplyDeleteI hate those bitches on Dlisted too!!!! i emialed Mk about about it becasue its makes the post like 200 long and its all shit no one cares about...who has the time???
ReplyDeletei just realized i did exactly waht tey did...sorry i was jsut surprised to read that here..lol
ReplyDeleteMickey Rourke? for no 1
ReplyDeleteThe Herp guesses:
ReplyDelete1.Eddie Furlong
2.Tom Sizemore
3.colin farrel
4.Derryck Whibley
patrick swayze.....mickey rourke
