Four For Friday (ahem Thursday)
This A list TV actor has a hit show. Our star is no rookie when it comes to meeting women, but perhaps next time he will learn from his mistakes. Last week our A-lister was at a very nice LA eatery with a few of his friends. Drinks were consumed and then more drinks and yet even more. Our star became more and more obnoxious as the drinking continued. He spent the last hour of his evening going from one table to another hitting on women and inviting them back to his place. He kept repeating, "Don’t you know who I am?" over and over as he would attempt to grope and otherwise harass the women in the establishment. As more and more people complained, our A-lister was finally tossed. Usually money talks in these situations, but not this time. The eatery was not going to be bribed. They just wanted him gone and did not even charge him for the meal or drinks just to be rid of him sooner.
This former late night television actor was one of the biggest stars of the 80's and early 90's. Now he has to keep moving from one part of the country to another just to find work. He used to have groupies everywhere he went, but now they are no more. Our actor still has plenty of cash from his days gone by and so hires escorts to pretend they are groupies and that they just cannot get enough of him. He even makes them ask for autographs.
Talk about freaky. This young actress just cannot get an invitation to anyone’s house. If she wants to party, it has to be at her place. The reason? Whenever she visits other people’s homes, she just cannot leave the valuables alone. More than once she has been confronted by her hosts or other guests as she takes whatever items will fit into her purse. If it were just little things, no one would mind because she does bring the supplies for the party. However, she has a bit more expensive taste than just the odd knick knack. She has a fondness for diamonds and other fine jewelry.
This actress has been on and off the A list for years. Now and then you think she is going to give it up and just be a wife, but she just keeps fighting. A few weeks ago, it looked like she had got into a fight and had to stay home for a week. A huge black eye started everyone whispering about abuse, but it turns out her plastic surgeon missed just slightly when injecting our heroine with Botox.
Tara Reid came to mind for the sticky fingers gal, but I cannot imagine anyone actually wanting to invite her over or go to one of her parties. Hmm, come on people start guessing. Some of you are disturbingly good with your facts.
ReplyDeleteThese are total guesses with no reason to back them up. Number 2 sounds like Arsenio Hall and #4 sounds like Sandra Bullock.
ReplyDeleteGGA
#3 sounds like lohan to me "talk about freaky" she was in Freaky Friday remake
ReplyDeletemaybe L.Lohan for the no 3... Btw have you seen the lohan hollyday? hillarious! hee
ReplyDeleteLa Lohan for the sticky fingers...remember the BI when someone walked in on her coking out and then she "lost" the necklace she wore to an awards ceremony recently.
ReplyDeleteI think Charlie Sheen is number 1. "Our star is no rookie when it comes to meeting women." He was in The Rookie. And he's on a hit show. And, though I've never met him, I have no trouble believing that he's obnoxious!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely "freaky" Lohan for number 3.
Could number 2 be Dennis Miller?
ReplyDeleteI think the first one is Charlie Sheen and the third one is LL.
ReplyDeleteDidn't Madonna have a black eye a few weeks back? I don't think it's her though.
The black eye..."be a wife", one of the houswifes? One whos been in the bizz a long time..
ReplyDeleteCharlie Sheen #1 and L.Lo #3 are good guesses. I thought Dennis Miller #2 was as well, but Wikipedia says he married with two children. It could still be someone from SNL, that's the only late night tv show I can think of. The BI didn't say late night talk show host, so that makes me think it's not a talk show. I haven't a clue on #4
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking the former late night television actor had to be from SNL. I don't know what other late night show features actors.
ReplyDeleteBilly Crystal? (SNL and Soap).
Eddie Murphy?
Dennis Miller?
Jim Belushi?
I agree the clues seem to point towards Sheen (hit show, Rookie) but isn't he supposedly sober?
ReplyDeleteLate night actor: Arsenio Hall
ReplyDeleteThief: Lindsay Lohan ("Freaky" = Freaky Friday and it's well known that all the parties in Hollywood lately have been happening at her suite (#25) at the Chateau Marmont).
#1 charlie sheen
ReplyDelete#2 david hasslehoff
#3 lindsy lohan
Freaky? as in friday...Lindsay Lohan.
ReplyDeletelate night star..eddie murphy.or arse hall.
Heroine...Sandra Bullock-Speed.
What about Gary Shandling for the late night star?
ReplyDeleteHa! Garry Shandling never HAD groupies to begin with.
ReplyDeleteCharlie Sheen
Eddie Murphy ... Steve Martin?
Lohan (no doubt -- Freaky, c'mon)
Bullock sounded good to me
Jeremy Piven for #1?? If he's text-messaging the E! Entertainment web staff looking to hook up ... gals at a random eatery would be perhaps a step up for "the Piv".
ReplyDeleteOoooh Mike Myers #2??
ReplyDelete1. I agree that it's probably Piven
ReplyDelete2. Jimmy Fallon
3. Lohan
4. Aniston
My guesses:
ReplyDelete1-Charlie Sheen/Jeremey Piven
2- Arsenio Hall
3- Lohan
4- Bullock - or Julia Roberts maybe?
Is #4 Gwyneth Paltrow? I think I remember reading this and seeing a picture of this somewhere, but I can't quite remember if it's her.
ReplyDeletethe last one seems to be hinting at the woman not being married, and sandra bullock , gwyneth paltrow, and julia roberts are all married, aniston isn't though.
ReplyDeleteThe SNL actor, if that is the show, might be jon lovitz based on time period, but I can't imagine him having groupies. It could be dana carvey, even though he doesn't strike me as a cheater, he did disappear pretty quickly.

ReplyDelete"the last one seems to be hinting at the woman not being married"
I didn't interpret it that way. It says that the actress started to just give it up and be a wife. To me this meant that she considered not being an actress AND a wife, but just focus on being a wife instead. That's what I thought the implication was. I guess only "ent lawyer" can clarify what was meant.
#1 Charlie Sheen might be too obvious. Jeremy Piven is a good guess.
ReplyDelete#2: Anthony Michael Hall (had all those films in the 80's and then worked on SNL), Norm MacDonald.
#3 has to be LiLo...the freaky thing sort of gives it away.
#4. I'm stumped could be a lot of people and to me it's not clear if she is a wife or should become one.
It can't be Jimmy Fallon. He was not a star in the late 80s and early 90s.
ReplyDeleteThe term groupie is an interesting choice. It's most often used with musical artists. I wonder if that is a hint.
Both Eddie Murphy and Jim Belushi have dablled in music. Jim Belushi still tours (I think).
wait...Courtney Cox for #4?
ReplyDeleteColin Quinn for 2
ReplyDeleteTHIS IS ON CORY KENNEDY'S BLOG. L.L. I ASSUME IS LA LOHAN. AND RIGHT BEFORE THS SHE SAYS HER LIPS ARE TOTALLY SEALED ABOUT WHAT WENT DOWN THERE BUT: "tuezzeys- raggy mogow picked me up with sam s. told "l.l." to meet me at cinespace to come see whitey play. am came too. so did masterson and bijou. after cinespace nate and i went to the chateu i found har mar along the way, for some after party time in l.l.s room. "
ReplyDeleteOooh, yes Krissypoo, I think #4 has got to be Courteney. Everything fits, especially the part about the Botox. She's making her comeback with a new show, but it did look like she'd opted for the mommy track.
ReplyDeleteI think #1 is most likely Charlie Sheen, and #3 is LiLo, but #2 doesn't ring true with anyone guessed so far. Jim Belushi isn't "moving from one part of the country to another just to find work," nor is Anthony Michael Hall (he's been living/working in Vancouver for a few years steadily now, and I would have never said he had "groupies" even back in the 80s, and I remember the 80s surprisingly well, all things considered). I don't think it's Arsenio, because it does say "actor" not host, and I don't think it's Jon Lovitz (steady gig as the Subway pitchman, lots of comedy/voice work). Eddie Murphy is way too high profile these days (even before the Dreamgirls buzz, with the whole Scary Spice thing), Mike Myers has worked too frequently...
Hey, could #2 be Joe Piscopo? He was huuge in the 80s on SNL. I just checked and his Wiki kind of fits...
Arsenio Hall is definately an actor.
ReplyDeletei know jeremy from his chicago days (c-list movie actor back then) (friend of my ex, another actor) and that is assuredly something he does very frequently (and embarrassingly often) so even if this specific incident isn't him, it fits his mo and he does do it, so who the heck cares. It's him. Arsenio acted before the talk show, i'm sure after as well. Obviously l.l.. Probably courtney cox as well, there's been a lot of talk of discord in the marriage as well.
ReplyDeleteJim Belushi is touring and has been touring for sometime. I saw him perform with Dan Aykroyd "Blues Brothers" at Camp Jeep last summer-he sucked too!
ReplyDeleteI would think 4 is maybe a female that has played a female lead of some sort. It says "injecting our heroine". That's odd phrasing. And the clue about fighting. Could it be Hilary Swank for Million Dollar Baby (fighting) and Boys Don't Cry (heroine).
ReplyDeleteI like Hilary Swank as the guess, too. I kept getting caught up in the heroine and fighting clues too. Great suggestion!
ReplyDelete#4 Demi Moore?
ReplyDeleteWhat about Kiefer for number 1? He's known for being drunk and obnoxious around town (remember the Christmas tree incident this time last year?)
ReplyDeleteMy guess for #4... with the "on and off the A list for years"... I tend to think the actress is older. Over 50. So I am going with Goldie Hawn. Granted she is not legally married to KR but they have lived together forever as a family. Plus she still dressess as if she is 25... when she shouldn't.
ReplyDelete#4: Melanie Griffiths?
ReplyDeletebut the clues make me think Hilary Swank for some reason..
I read Cory Kennedy's blog and it seems like she sees LL at parties all over.
ReplyDeleteIs it me or does anyone think that someone else is writing this blog? Jeezelouise perhaps?
ReplyDeleteI heard that same story about the necklace clepo claimed she "lost"when she was in the UK and how they made her ass pay for it.
ReplyDeleteThe late night actor, I cannot see horse teeth Arsenio Hall guffawing it with hired groupies, hell, he had no damn groupies when he was popular. I want to say that Mr. Piven might do that. Why, I have no clue. Wasteful.
The first blind item, def Charlie Sheen. A drunk tongue speaks a sober mind.
Botox? Damn, who hasn't been smiling lately when they normally would be? That would the actress that just got the botox done!!! LOL he, he,
oh lord, poor #2!
ReplyDeleteI agree w/ Freaky Friday LiLo
I think it sounds like #4 IS married. Who is Sandra married to? I don't think Julie Roberts would be the 'you'd think she'd give up' as she's still pretty famous and is not off the A list, I'd say. Aniston isn't married. Gwenyth perhaps. Swank isn't married anymore. Maybe Demi. Courtney's a good guess as well.
I think #4 is Michelle Pfeiffer
ReplyDeleteyeah where has Jeezeloise been???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
ReplyDeleteI am also wondering where JeeezeLouise is, although she does have her own blogs. I did respond yesterday in the afternoon post, but realized people who did not read the comments had no idea what I was referring to.
ReplyDeleteI have never done something like this before and so I find my writing is influenced by my mood that day or if I think something is funny or if I have more time than not. Also, as far as blind items go, I am trying to use very specific words and to do that it is easier if you do not start every paragraph with What actor____
I am not going anywhere. I would love to have buzzcock write something sometimes and jeeeze is more than welcome to as well. People e-mail me things all the time and I use them.
but where is Jeeeze seriously?
I think that # is Ellen Barkin.
ReplyDeletesandra's married to jesse james from monster garage
ReplyDeleteJennifer Garner for #4?
ReplyDeleteI agree that Lohan is 3 for sure.
It's not Arsenio you dumbasses. He hosted a talk show, and didn't take up acting until the show ended.
ReplyDeleteI think #4 has to be Julia Roberts. At a recent premiere she wouldn't take her sunglasses off. She's not the type to hide at a premiere, so I think she was deliberately hiding something. A black eye perhaps?
ReplyDeleteWhat about Meg Ryan for #4? She's clearly had work done, has mostly given up acting, but occassionally comes out with a movie, and the "fight" clue could refer to Against the Ropes.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking the word "rookie" is a clue in item #1?
ReplyDeleteFor 4, could the fighter refer to the movie "Girlfight"? And then the movie "SWAT" or "Fast and the Furious" or "Lost" for heroine? Michelle Rodriguez (sp?).
ReplyDeleteI don't mean to pick on someone, but seriously how dumb to you have to be to believe that Michelle Rodriguez wants to be a wife?

ReplyDeleteBefore you call someone a dumbass, maybe you should remove your head from your ass. Any tool with a computer right in front of them can research Arsenio Hall and see that he acted before his talk show and became famous in the movie Coming to America starring Eddie Murphy.
People like you are complete idiots. Read the timetable:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0002119/
Ok, so I have just re-read all of Ent Lawyer's blog posts, and even though the tone changes from time to time, the writing style really does not. There are computer programs that can analyze all that stuff, if you care all that much, but even using a primative tool like the mind I was born with, I can see that EL very rarely uses contractions, and that's been consistent through all of his posts.
ReplyDeleteI, on the other hand, am given to run-on sentences, so it would be very easy to identify my writing ;)
Keifer is unlikely for #1. He can drink most under the table and make a complete ass out of himself while doing so - but he's also considered one of the nicest actors in Hollywood. Doesn't fit his M.O.
ReplyDeleteAns since when has Sheen ever stayed sober for more than a year?
NOW AND THEN... movie demi moore.
