Today's Blind Items - She Used To Be Lindsay Lohan
Before there was Lindsay Lohan, there was another movie actress who did many of the same things Lindsay has done. Our actress once reached A list, which is something Lindsay probably won't ever do at this point. Our actress had a very quick and bright flame and then crashed and burned because she has no real acting talent. She still enjoys A+ list name recognition, but her acting resume is probably a C+ at this point. Our actress didn't start off quite as young as Lindsay, but made a name for herself beginning in her 20's. Our actress spent a lot of time on the casting couch. Lots. It was the only way she got any roles at all because she is that bad. She lucked into her biggest role and has tried not to have sex for parts any longer. She will have sex for other reasons though or things she wants. She loves things. Like Lindsay, our actress would steal anything not tied down. She was famous for never returning any item of jewelry or clothing that she wore during a photo shoot or on a movie set. It got so bad that when she walked in a huge event she had to buy everything herself because no one would give her anything.. It is still considered to be one of the bigger fashion fails of all time. Like Lindsay, our actress enjoys some drugs. She had to have a nose reconstruction because of all the coke she snorted. She tries to limit herself to pills and booze and pot now. She has a lot of health problems for a woman of her still fairly young age because of her past drug abuse.
no idea but i'll estimate this person is between 30 and 40.
ReplyDeletePia Zadora
ReplyDeleteTara Reid
ReplyDeleteI thought this too but isn't she already known to be this way? This would shock no one.
DeleteDoesn't mention marriages so there goes my Pia Z guess.
ReplyDeleteLara Flynn Boyle (pink tutu) and horrible facial surgery
ReplyDeleteWino Forever?
ReplyDeleteShe was famous before her 20s
DeleteSecond the Winona guess
ReplyDeleteShannon D
ReplyDeleteRose McGowan (though to be fair, she can act).
ReplyDeleteSure does fit Pia, otherwise, though. She was everywhere for no reason. Every talk show, for weeks on end. Pia, Pia, Pia! Obviously had zero talent. She giggled a lot and played up her petite stature, IIRC. Cutesy & vacuous.
ReplyDeleteI think Wino can act
ReplyDelete"It is still considered to be one of the bigger fashion fails of all time." makes me think this is Tara Reid (the nipple disaster).
ReplyDeleteWinona was not a flash in the pan. She had lots of good roles.
ReplyDeleteRight? I'm thinking some posters must be very young. Winona was super famous for a while!
DeleteI don't know - Demi?
ReplyDeleteTara Reid and the fashion horror be
ReplyDeleteing the nip slip at Sean Combs 35th Birthday party.
@Jamie - that's what I was thinking too! You really can't get deeper into failure than having your nipple out at a P. Diddy party. There's also the escort connection going on too!
ReplyDeleteShannon Elizabeth?
ReplyDeleteI initially thought maybe Alicia Silverstone, but I don't think it's her.
Good guess!
DeleteShannon is kind of a vegas grifter. Watch out 4 that one.
DeleteMy first thought was Winona. Sad
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's Winona. I don't believe she slept with Timothy Burton for all those roles.
ReplyDeleteMischa or Yessica?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure Tara was EVER A list....
ReplyDeleteSean Young? She was huge at one point. Didn't I hear she wears fur coats with nothing under to events? She is a mess.
ReplyDeleteMy vote too. I thought of her immediately.
DeletePia is a good guess but that was all her husband. Winona I thought too but she def had multiple good roles. Maybe Jessica Alba?
ReplyDeleteOooh! What's her name?! What about that chick from one of those "reality" shows, she dated the guy with the hanging balls, ooh, that show was before Blake Lively's and Ceiling Eyes.
ReplyDeleteThat chick was everywhere, magazines kept pushing her down our throat as the next modeling muse, and then she crashed and burned, keeps having weight problems and now is opening clothing stores. Big around the thighs. Whatshername?
Someone knows who I'm talking about?
Misha Barton? She was on the OC back in the day. I'm going off the "hanging balls".....Cisco Adler was her bf and has the grossest balls ever photographed.
DeleteDefinitely Lara Flynn Boyle.
ReplyDeleteFashion disaster: Pink tutu
@veee Pia Zadora was married to some rich guy and at the time, it was assumed he'd bought her roles and her Golden Globe.
ReplyDeleteHere's a wiki quote: Zadora married businessman Meshulam Riklis in 1977, when she was 23 and he 54. Zadora and Riklis bought the Beverly Hills mansion Pickfair Manor in January 1988 from Los Angeles Lakers owner Jerry Buss for almost $7 million.
@lady Heisenberg, yes! That's the one I'm thinking of: Mischa Barton!
ReplyDeleteNot Pia. She was famous because she was married to a gazillionaire and he bought her roles and press. Then they tore down PickFair and bought their first-class ticket to hell.
ReplyDeleteCosign Lara Flynn Boyle.
ReplyDeleteI know the horse is dead and I'm dropping the stick, but here's a pic of Pia Zadora at Cannes in 1982. Slightly NSFW http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSrWpXR-xVZ87w18-rcmnzEagrrQiP31jk8eU5czHaUH8bS8Qr6xQ
ReplyDeleteSorry no linky
I was thinking Tara. Lara FB did not get roles through the casting couch, I think. She was pretty good in Twin Peaks and was definitely not a flash in the pan.
ReplyDeleteScratch Lara Flynn Boyle. Not primarily movies. Same with Mischa. Has to be Tara Reid, but what a crappy "blind" in that case.
ReplyDeleteMischa is an interesting guess but her "fame" came from TV not movies and was achieved as a teenager (17-20 on The OC) not in her 20s as per the blind.
ReplyDeleteanytime someone says the name pia, i think of some girl from the american idol shows or something....
ReplyDeletePia Zadora doesn't still have A+ name recognition. I think it's Lara Flynn Boyle.
ReplyDeleteWinona is another interesting guess but again her defining roles (Beetlejuice, Heathers, Scissorhands etc.) came as a teenager not while in her 20s.
ReplyDelete"It is still considered to be one of the bigger fashion fails of all time." ... Not sure what the Enty is saying here but Tara had the mother of all nipple slips, so I guess this might be her.
ReplyDeleteWas Lara Flynn Boyle really A list, though? And didn't she refuse to participate in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me because of the nudity, so Donna got recast?
ReplyDeleteI think she's a hot mess, but I'm not convinced this is LFB. Feel like this should be super easy.
Definitely NOT Winona. She has worked with almost every great director and has won many awards. What about Ally Sheedy?
ReplyDeleteI change my guess to Jennifer Grey.
ReplyDeleteJennifer Grey isn't a hot mess. She's a devoted mother and wife. She's very very healthy.
ReplyDeleteThe blind doesn't mention the "actress" doing anything other than acting. However, if you are willing to overlook that aspect, I think Courtney Love might fit. Started acting in early 20s (i.e. Sid and Nancy). Accused of stealing things and not unfamiliar with booze/drugs. Health problems. However she also had career in music and blind doesn't imply that.
ReplyDeleteSean Young or Lorraine Bracco.
ReplyDelete+1 on the Sean Young guess
DeleteAlly Sheedy is a very good actress and I believe doing something on B'way.
ReplyDeleteHonestly I'm thinking it's someone older than who we're guessing. Tara never A+, Wino can act and loves her Vicodins not a snorter. She is a thief though.
Wish this would be revealed. Just don't think we're getting it yet.
I am on the Lara Flynn Boyle train. Known boozer and coke seems reasonable as skinny as she was. She is all weirdly bloated now and clearly has health issues.
ReplyDeleteFINE.
ReplyDeletelol I am not sold about Laura even though many of the clues do add up. Did she have her nose done cause I thought that was the only original thing left on her face? and definitely don't think Mischa cause every blind cant be about her. I will think about it some more...
I was thinking Jessica Alba as well.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, she didn't have much talent, but Pia Zadora is one of my oldest celebrity crushes.
Must be her height and those dimples.
Lara FB was on punked one time before the surgery thinking she was getting $50,000 of free clothes then was asked to pay and freeaaaked out. I'm on the Lara train.
ReplyDeletei like winona
ReplyDeletethats my guess
On my Courtney Love suggestion I forgot to add her nose surgery as a consideration.
ReplyDeleteWe have to be missing someone. The only one who fits is Tara, the rest are either TV (LFB, Mischa), good actresses (Winona), not a flash in the pan (Demi), or Pia Zadora, who was never A.
ReplyDeleteWhatever happened to Tia from Wayne's World? Remember her?
Just googled 'actresses who steal' and got Lohan, Winona, Farrah Fawcett - she claimed the incident was a misunderstanding - and Peaches Geldof.
ReplyDeleteEstella Warren?
ReplyDelete@CoBe---was gonna guess her but she was never near A list. She is nuts though.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't A mean she can open a movie? Planet of the Apes? And she got nailed for stealing the purse of Jaime Pressley's assistant as well as a DUI and hit and run.
DeleteDoherty. First B that popped in my mind.
ReplyDeleteJoey Heatherton
ReplyDeletePamela Anderson
ReplyDeleteWhat about Sharon Stone? Some question her acting ability. and did she not wear a GAP t-shirt to the Oscars or something? Definetly A+ name recognition. I am too invested in this blind. That will be my final answer...
ReplyDeleteJaime pressly
ReplyDeleteI think this is someone older, but when I looked up 'worst celebrity fashion' the two I saw that hadn't already been guessed that would still maybe fit were Kate Hudson and Kim Basinger.
ReplyDeleteI want to know who this is though!
French police have named actress Sharon Stone as their prime suspect in the daring heist, in which more than $1.4 million in jewels were stolen from a hotel room during the Cannes Film Festival. According to authorities, they zeroed in on the “Basic Instinct” star as their prime suspect after an IMDb search helped them realize the actress hasn’t been a movie star in almost a decade, which made her attendance at the Cannes Film Festival extremely suspicious, they noted.
ReplyDelete“Sharon Stone’s last starring role in a major theatrical release was in 2006’s ‘Basic Instinct 2,’ which should have gone to straight-to-DVD anyway,” a spokesperson for the Nice police told Hollywood & Swine. “So what possible business does Sharon Stone have attending the 2013 Cannes Film Festival other than to steal expensive jewels? No one including Ms. Stone has been able to give us a good answer.”
Derek
DeleteThat "news" article is just ... breathtaking (or literally unbelievable ...). I seriously Googled it to see if it was from The Onion - it really looks like it. I particularly like that the Cannes police zeroed in on her after doing an IMDB search.
Journalism, a song art!
Journalism, a dying art, I meant :)
DeleteI doubt the Coens rely on casting couch for The Big Lebowski. There are reports they were blushing when they had to shoot the scene involving Asia Argento for the fake film "Logjammin'". And Tara Reid's greatest pride for this film is that she got the part of Bunny Lebowski over Charlize Theron. If she had to bed one of the producers while Theron refused, her "win" would have no weight.
ReplyDeleteWinona Ryder got parts as a minor. She didn't start as early as Natalie Portman, but she got noticed for her looks and her acting skills as a teenager.
Pia Zadora did something like three movies, bankrolled by her husband. And she bombed spectacularly.
So, the blind item is an actress who got bigger and bigger parts in her 20s, got a big break, then was unable to carry on because she didn't sleep with producers or directors anymore, and had a reputation for keeping everything that went through her hands. So, for one huge event, she had to us clothes she had in her locker without having any designer taking care of the outfit, and she failed spectacularly. Then, she had facial reconstruction because of her coke habit. But the drugs and the stealing stories may have remained hidden from common knowledge.
So, I'm thinking about people like Shannon Elizabeth. Big break = American Pie, was for a while a lead in several films released by majors (Tomcats, Thirteen Ghosts) which would qualify her as "A list", then had her career bomb spectacularly.
"I'll suck your cock for a thousand dollars.... Brandt cant watch, though, or he has to pay a hundred"
Deletethats some good Tara Reid shit right there
Not Winona she was a preteen actress READ THE BLIND
ReplyDeleteJennifer Jason Leigh
ReplyDeleteBecame famous with Fast Times At Ridgemont High when she was 20.
DeleteIt is most definitely Sharon Stone. She had a nose job as well. Jennifer Jason Leigh is one of the best actresses in Hollywood btw.
ReplyDeleteI really like the Sean Young guess, but don't think it's her. The fashion fail would've been the handmade Catwoman costume.
ReplyDeleteThis is probably Sharon Stone. My uncle used to date her sister.
What about that skinny one that used to date Brad Pitt? You know, unattractive and had that awful awful outfit.
ReplyDeleteJuliette Lewis - she def had a fashion fail with the corn rows but I don't see that the blind mentions fashion fail like the commenters are mentioning that. Anyway, I've seen her acting in quite a bit. Most recently that Osage County dumb movie. But she's always pretty good.
DeleteStone is okay as an actress, and started out as a model before doing film. Her first part was at the beginning of Woody Allen's Stardust Memories. Her biggest issue is that she's a huge diva.
ReplyDeleteAnother guess: Kate Bosworth.
Derek - Sharon Stone is usually in Cannes because she hosts the AMFAR gala (took over duties from Elizabeth Taylor).
ReplyDeleteThis blind makes me laugh - it's about an actress not named Lindsay, yet manages to throw Lindsay's name out SEVEN times (including the header).
Juliette Lewis ever steal anything? Bosworth seems like a good guess too. I used to think she was the most gorgeous actress I'd ever seen. Then she became skeletal.
ReplyDelete@Surfer---I just copied and pasted that- when I googled "Sharon Stone thief". That is true though but still think it is her. She is really not that great. Dreadful in Basic Instinct 1 and 2
ReplyDeleteAny excuse for enty to talk and type Lohan...
Megan Fox
ReplyDeleteBo Derek
Mena Suvari
Heather Graham is my guess.
ReplyDeleteI know she's been in a lot of films but, if I'm remembering accurately, Boogie Nights was her one huge Hollywood hit and everything else sucks. But I hope I'm wrong cause I kind of like her.
Bai Ling???
ReplyDeleteDrew Barrymore?
ReplyDeleteIf it wasn't for the all movies, I would say Yasmine Bleeth.
ReplyDeleteSharon stone fits except for one thing: She was 34 years old, not in her 20s, when Basic Instinct came out
ReplyDeleteI would say winona ryder but she doesn't fit because she's a good actress.
ReplyDeleteSo my guess is ashley judd
This sounds like Sharon Stone. She was sued by Harry Winston for refusing to return some diamond earrings that were loaned to her for an appearance; her defense was that she believed they were a gift. I remember she's also had a stroke. There's also always been a lot of talk about her willingness early in her career to do anything for roles.
ReplyDeleteRose McGowan?
ReplyDeleteI knew when I was reading this everyone would guess Winona. But she was considered good in her day (and still is). She was definitely an A. I read this as Alley Sheedy. She was really popular but the girl can't act.
ReplyDeleteNo way this is Pia Zadora. The only thing she was famous for was back in the day the Golden Globes had a Best New Actress award (or something like that) and she won for a role no one had heard of. Rumor was her rich old husband paid off the HFP for it. She was never heard from again.
Sharon Stone. She's well known for walking off set with all the clothes & jewelry, she has been sued for not returning the jewelry that was loaned to her. She just left the set of some piece of crap low budget because she was difficult, some say she was drinking. Then got papped getting her nails done back in LA.
ReplyDeleteHEY DIPSHITS...it says she's at a fairly young age still and has health problems...probably Tara Reid. She's under 40. Stone and boyle are both over 40..
ReplyDeleteI lived in San Francisco near the Castro. Halloween was always a big deal.
ReplyDeleteAnyway after Winona got caught there was a man who won best costume. He was carrying a Saks bag full off cut off labels! Fabulous.
Kate Bosworth
ReplyDeleteA list during Blue Crush, biggest role was either that or the Superman movie (blind says nothing abuot the movie being a hit, but Superman got lots of coverage). Terrible actress, looks VERY unhealthy.
Not a clue about a fashion disaster, besides the pic of her bending over at an event and her chestbone/ribs were visible, because of how severly underweight she was, with her boobs being two floppy sacks, which gave everyone nightmares.
ReplyDeleteKate's boney front
Sharon stone was in my head the entire time I was reading this - she def seems like she'd fuck for parts. Also seems to have a well developed sense of entitlement that would have her walk off set w/clothes and jewelry. Isn't she also well known for hoovering up coke?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteSean Young also is a good guess. Got famous at 21. Fashion faux-pas was dressing up as Catwoman on a talkshow, because she wanted to get that role in a movie.
ReplyDeleteSean as Catwomant
Rose McGowan's disaster would be the dress made about of strings/beads, which exposed her entire body, except her vagina. I don't think she was ever A list though, not even during Charmed.
Rose mostly nude
@hackgnar---Sharon is middle age and enty considers that not THAT old. and whats with the name calling?
ReplyDelete@Staygold---she did have her film debut in her 20s in a famous Woody Allen scene though
Alita---haha I agree but just found something quick as evidence to support my guess...
ReplyDeleteSharon Stone is 56. That is past middle age. People don't live to 112.
ReplyDeleteDefinition of middle age (n)
ReplyDeleteBing Dictionary
mid·dle age
1.period between youth and later life: the period in somebody's life when that person is no longer considered young, usually between 40 and 60
Heather Graham?
ReplyDeleteSharon Stone. I couldn't believe she wasn't named right off the bat.
ReplyDeleteFWIW Pia Zadora got her start in this:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058548/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_12
when she was 10.
I'm just glad it can't be my Wino (forever)!
ReplyDeleteCan't be boyle cuz of the practice tv show. in no world is 56 "still fairly young"
ReplyDeleteSharon Stone sounds about right. She started as "Pretty Girl on train" in Stardust Memories in 1980 when she was 22 and has worked every year (except for 1997) since. Everyone knows who she is even 22 years after Basic Instinct and that's all she is known for and all anyone remembers her for is crossing her legs. "a woman of her still fairly young age" could be anywhere from 40-60. Plus she could easily have traded sex for parts because she's that beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAnd 56 is fairly young to have had 2 strokes. I'm on board with the Sharon Stone guess.
DeleteSharon Stone, with her two-count em TWO-strokes so far.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't Tara's thing be called a wardrobe malfunction though, and not an FF (fashion fail)? Just my opinion. I don't think it's her. I also don't see Stone's gap shirt with a skirt as a fashion fail....she was pretty much roundly praised for her balls for wearing that. She got sooooooo much press, and that was before the internet. Big fashions fails I can recall from actresses that *might* fit here are the one-sleeved white ballgown from Kim Basinger and the tutu from Boyle. Others have had major FFs (like Goop) but don't really fit the other clues. I guess Basinger doesn't either. I want Graham to fit but can't recall a famous FF.
ReplyDeleteI consign with Derek on Sharon Stone. She really can't act and has all sorts of health issues with strokes etc. She's the first one that jumped in my head.
ReplyDeleteThis is so obviously Tara Reid that it makes me think that maybe it isn't Tara Reid. We know she fucks for money, so...
ReplyDeleteDoesn't anyone else think Sharon Stone was amazing in Casino? She made that movie for me.
ReplyDeleteI want it to be Mackenzie Phillips but the clues ain't fittin.....
ReplyDeleteSee now I can see Sharon as the guess here but I think she's a good actress. Who can say. Will this be revealed.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is bosworth virus though. She keeps trying to make herself happen as designer and has failed many times.
ReplyDeleteTop shop. Jewel mint was supposed to be huge and her involvement flopped and she disappeared from their website in a hurry. She has ridden many a casting couch.
Pia Zadora was never, ever, even close to being A+, except in her own mind.
ReplyDeleteI like the Sharon Stone guess with showing her no no in Basic Instinct.
ReplyDeleteI also do not think Wanna Ride Her is a good actress. She sucked in quite a few roles.
it isn't Pia Zadora unless 60 is the new thirty.
ReplyDeleteWow is everyone new here? He's straight up referred to Emma Stone as being the Teflon Lindsey (not with that exact label, but essentially that is what he has said in the past).
ReplyDeleteHas Emma Stone stolen anything? Had a fashion fail? Health problems?
ReplyDeletePlease tell me this jessica no talent biel
ReplyDeleteJuliette Lewis
ReplyDeleteSounds like Lara Flynn Boyle. She is not looking like a well woman for her age.( 44) she looks way older and struggles with health issues. Twin peaks catapulted her to a list, she was known globally and her name is still globally recognised, but her acting portfolio is pretty much c after. Her ballerina outfit was famous for it's fail with a capital F. She has done a lot of movies and had her part deleted,,,dead poet, ferris bueller and she was early twenties when twin peaks made her famous. Lindsay should take her as a big old health warning.
ReplyDeleteMarisa Tomei?
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking ofJen Anniston when I read this.
