Four For Friday
Heard it through the grapevine that this absolutely lovely television actress who stars in one of those shows that seems to be on every night and every channel and who is married has a little secret. After the birth of her child, they were having a hard time in the romance department so she decided to spice things up. She discovered tantric massage. Not telling hubby, she enrolled in a class and started bringing those lessons home to hubby. He was ecstatic and could not get enough of her. Things were looking up and he encouraged her to keep attending class. Well, lo and behold she started going more frequently than before but it was not because of the renewed spark between she and her husband but instead the drop dead gorgeous (I know you are thinking clue) instructor who was and continues to give her private lessons.
What if you worked at Trashy Lingerie in LA and you had this Number One selling rock star come into the store? Someone who is solo now but was in the biggest band in the US very recently. You say, wow he must be here for his wife and isn’t that nice? Wow he is looking at some lingerie that is a little different, and a little larger. I thought his wife was smaller than that. Hmmm, well maybe he is getting it for a gag gift or something. Well usually they would only get one thing and now he has several. Is he going to a dressing room? Has he been here before? All the time, and it is all for himself, no matter how much he smiles and says it is for his tiny wife and no matter how many times the staff sees him in the dressing room trying it on.
This British actress and her current boyfriend are always photographed in public groping and making out. She tries hard to show that she is all woman and that she loves boys. The problem is that even when they are out and about, no one really believes it. He is hot for her, but she always looks as if it is the last thing on her mind no matter how much they mug for the cameras. In private he doesn’t even get a whiff of her perfume. When they started dating he thought it would be true love. Actually though it has been a nightmare because she will not let him break it off. She has an image to live up to. What it means for him though is that everyone thinks he is dating her so she turns the girls from him away, although she is watching them when they walk away.
This rockstar’s divorce was recently finalized so he could bring on the next wife. Everyone assumed she walked away with HMM money, but it was not to be. He has a long history of wives and girlfriends who think they are going to take him to the cleaners. What they don’t realize until it is too late is that he has all the ammunition. During their time together he records every incriminating moment whether it be drugs or drinking or another man. When the time comes for parting and they are looking for money, he invites them into his room and shows them why they will not be getting a penny above what he wants to give them.
Hi EL
ReplyDelete'MV' update plz?
stellar work:)
UKGrrl
1. Sarah jessica Parker "lovely" perfume
ReplyDelete2?
3?
4. Rod Stewart
#1, Courtney Cox ??
ReplyDeleteDont know why, but I was picturing her the whole time I was reading it.
#1 mariska hargitay? L&O is on every channel, 24-7 (or at least it seems to be!).
ReplyDelete#3 Keira Knightley
ReplyDeleteI'm terrible at these but how about Mariska Hargitay from Law and Order SVU. The Law and Order franchise is on several channels.
ReplyDeleteoh also, I remember Courtney telling someone in a magazine interview that her sex drive toned way down after the birth of her daughter. And she has been looking very glowy and radiant lately. We all know that after sex glow look!
ReplyDeleteDamn, these are good! I need more coffee if I'ma crack these ones.
ReplyDeleteI seriously have no idea how Ent manages to do everything he does in a day. I can barely get out of my peejays by noon and this stallion has probably been lawyering since dawn AND still finds time to post awesome BIs, AND responds to our countless hussyish emails. (Okay, I mean MY hussyish emails. I'm sure the rest of you are extremely genteel and restrained).
I love this blog.
I believe that #4 was from the book Hollywood Babylon and it was supposed to be Tommy Lee when it was written.
ReplyDeleteGGA
IMDB has an entry for Mariska Hargitay for a show called "GRAPEVINE" from 1992.
ReplyDeleteCould the rock star be Scott Stapp of Creed? They were once really big and he's solo now. He strikes me as a little off kilter, to say the least.
ReplyDeletehmm... is this "drop dead gorgeous" instructor a man or a woman???
ReplyDeleteMariska Hargitay also has an entry for a movie called "Hard Time Romance". It has to be her.
ReplyDeleteMy vote for #1 is Lisa Kudrow... I remember an interview she gave to Howard Stern (of all people) admitting that after the birth of her son, her sex life evaporated... She also played a massage therapist on Friends and was in the movie Happy Ending (also about massage... of a sort)... though I know it doesn't tie into the "lovely" clue as well as Sarah Jessica Parker does...
ReplyDeleteHere's what I think with out really thinking...
ReplyDelete1. Mariska Hargitay
2. I was thinking Dave Navarro the whole time, but the being there for wife part sounding current messes it up??
3. Keira Knightly
4. Rod Stewart ? (although that may be aging rock star)
what's HMM money??
ReplyDelete1. sjp?
ReplyDelete2 BONO from U2?
3 kierA knightly
4 richie sambora?
i am really guessing here
no way Bono for 2. U2 is still U2.
ReplyDeleteMiss, I thought of Bono, too. U2 has an album called "One" and I thought the Number One comment could be a reference to that. However, Bono is not solo now.
ReplyDeleteDave Navarro is a guitar player, not a frontman, so it can't be him.
Plus, Dave Navarro wouldn't bother to claim the undies were for his wife. ;)
ReplyDelete1. courtney cox
ReplyDelete2. Nick Carter
3. kiera knightly
4. rod stewart
Re: no. 4, Rod Stewart's divorce was finalized (and sealed - no financial details forthcoming) on November 2. And referring to the "not a penny above" line ... current squeeze is Penny Lancaster.
ReplyDelete#4 is definitely Rod Stewart. The clue is "penny" in ref to Penny Lancaster (the longtime gf he'll marry now that his divorce from Rachel Hunter is final).
ReplyDelete--kristen
3. Keira Knightly
ReplyDelete4. Rod Stewart
These are the two that kinda popped out at me. But I'm terrible at guessing.
Maybe the Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters? They had a song called "The One." I think they are still together and he's married.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Nick Carter is a rawkstah.
#1 - I was originally thinking Debra Messing
ReplyDelete#2 - Def Rob Thomas, because the blind item is written like that song he did with his band What if I blah blah blah
#3 - I like Keira Knightly for this one - but also thought of Elizabeth Hurley...
#4 Rod Stewart
lily u'r totally right navarro- not front man... and too funny, u'r right on about not having to pretend they'd a been for carmen. prob why i was completely picturing him in garters and a push up the whole time i read it.
ReplyDeleteand great suggestion on grohl. i think you may have hit it.
kristi, what's the connection btwn rob thomas and tom cruise??
ReplyDeleteKeira "The Jaw" Knightley could be right for #3... she and Rupert Friend announced their engagement and then broke up what seemed like hours later. There have been photos of them making out in the British press, and I think they're still together. She is also the face of Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle perfume.
ReplyDelete#4 is totally Rod Stewart. #1 does sound like Mariska Hargitay, but I'm stuck on #2...
pope-rah, which matchbox 20 song did he write it like?
ReplyDeleteI suppose it could be Rob Thomas, but I think of him more as a pop star than a rock star.
kristi never heard that one. wow. i'm gonna have to ask a few people. hav had him on my show several times at a cpl diff stations i've worked for. know his promoter well. am super curious about this one!
ReplyDeleteWhat about Mischa Barton for #3... she was born in London and technically is british?? i though Keira too, but i could have sworn she was irish
ReplyDeleteradiogirl, here's the rumour I've heard, cut and pasted from the blog My Urban Kvetch (but obviously reprinted from somewhere else -- just Google Rob Thomas/Tom Cruise and you'll find these links)
ReplyDeleteIndependent Sources announced today that it has uncovered a new, previously undiscovered Tom Cruise rumor: Tom Cruise and Matchbox Twenty's Rob Thomas are lovers! Independent Sources has hesitated writing about Tom Cruise/Katie Holmes for many reasons. First, there are other things going on in the world that, believe it or not, rank higher on the importance scale. Second, pretty much everything that can be said is
being said.
However, someone (I'll call her Mistress of the Hollywood Rumor) just walked into Insider's office with the following dish that I feel compelled to pass on. I did a quick check of Technorati and it wasn't there. So even if it is not true, it is at least original. No doubt that anyone with an Internet connection has read about Tom Cruise being gay. According to rumor lore, he has had a long-time boyfriend in Chicago who is an Asian pilot for American Airlines. This is an accusation that Cruise and more importantly Cruise's many attorneys vehemently deny.
There have been many stories that supposedly corroborate his sexuality but never a smoking gun. Rumor mongers attribute this to the fact that Cruise goes to great lengths to cover his tracks. We are told that everyone around him signs extensive confidentiality contracts with enormous penalties for indiscretion. (Exhibit A: the 8-page confidentiality contract Cruise's housekeeper was forced to sign).
Such stories have been around for years and Cruise has evidently attempted to counter them with a series of high-profile heteronormative relationships. First, Nicole Kidman, then Penelope Cruz, and most recently Katie Holmes. In each instance, the "relationship" is actually a contract that gives the women a boost to their careers, a lot of money, and an elegant lifestyle.
Here is where this particular rumor gets interesting. Not long ago, Marisol, he wife of Matchbox Twenty's Rob Thomas (who has had to contend with his own rumors of bi-sexuality) found her husband in bed with Tom Cruise causing Cruise's people to shift into high gear. First, Mrs. Rob Thomas was bought off for an undetermined sum. Second, Cruise and his handlers set out to immediately find Cruise a girlfriend. Second-tier actresses were targeted. A list was drawn up with Jessica Alba (#1 pick) and three other girls who fell out for various reasons.
Originally targeted (#3 I think) but later rejected as "undesirable" was rumor queen Lindsay Lohan. Way down at #5 on the list was Katie Holmes, but that was the one with whom they were able to strike a deal.
Once the contact was signed, photo ops were set up, leaks were made to the right places, and we've had celebrity relationship on steroids ever since. One thing I will credit this rumor for is how it nicely explains Tom's behavior this past few months-including the couch jumping episode on Oprah. Cruise simply didn't have time for the Holmes rumors to circulate at its normal speed and he couldn't allow it to be second page news while the tabloids focused on Brad, Jennifer and Angelina. No, this relationship had to immediately become the "it" topic.
Well, that's how we hear it.
or what about dave grohl?
ReplyDeletesorry didn't see someone said dave grohl already...
ReplyDelete:P
Rob Thomas and Dave Grohl are good possibilities
ReplyDeletehttp://www.nme.com/news/foo-fighters/23947
Dave Grohl goes Solo
Of course, it's one song for a movie soundtrack.
Hmm.
If Dave Grohl were my man, he could wear a polka-dot bikini and a rainbow tutu for all I care.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't consider him a solo artist, however. I guess biggest band in the US doesn't neccessarily mean US band. I really wish it would turn out to be Chad Kroeger from Nickelback, just because I hate them and I'd love to find out he's a nancyboy instead of just a former pot dealer and drunk driver.
(Oh and sorry for the typos in the cut-and-pasted part of my last post -- obviously not all bloggers are as gifted with the English language as our Ent.)
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDelete#3: "love. Actually"
ReplyDeleteFuel for the Kiera Knightly leaners.
Lily,
ReplyDeleteIt was actually on Rob Thomas's solo album. The song was called "Lonely No More". There is one whole verse that begins every sentence with "What if....".
I know this is a long shot, but "lo and behold" lo could be Law & Order... Bare with me, I'm trying!!! Mariska Hargitay for #1
ReplyDeletehez - thanks for the laugh. I too can't stand CK. Is it just me or does ever song of their's sound the same?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pope-rah. I'm almost convinced it's Rob Thomas.
ReplyDeleteI don't see Dave Grol feeling the need to hide buying lingerie for himself, either, when I think of it.
Hezz, too funny about Chad Kroeger. I thought the same thing... heh!
hez, wow great post thanks for catching me up.
ReplyDeleteokay i'm still a bit stunned bcs i was clearly living in the dark and my gaydar sucks anyway...
but will add fuel to the rob thomas fire and clarify that matchbox 20 can absolutely be considered one of the biggest bands in the US very recently. others have stated they wldn't consider it; but they are tied for 2nd in # 1 hits on the hot a/c charts. they have had 10 # 1 hits. tied with sheryl crow. goo goo dolls are number one with 12#1's. i'm betting that 10 # 1's wld qualify plus i can't remember numbers but their tours did very well too.
Scott's band Creed had hits with "What If" and "One"
ReplyDeleteLiloleme, my friend has worked on all of Nickelback's videos since the beginning, and it turns out they are adamant about using exactly the same crew every single time.
ReplyDeleteA guy I know saw The Kroeg at a karaoke night at a bar a few years ago and egged him on to go up and do some karaoke-ing. Kroeg's response? "No thanks. I do that every night of the week in my band Nickelback."
Self-aware or self-possessed-- I'll let you be the judge.
1.Mariska Hargitay
ReplyDelete2.Rob Thomas
3.Kiera Knightley
4.Rod Stewart
No question in my mind!
Oh, thanks anon! I forgot about my first guess. Scott Stapp is looking more likely now that you've supplied those clues. I totally forgot about that "What if" song by Creed.
ReplyDeleteHmm... Scott Stapp or Rob Thomas?
I think I'm going to go with Scott Stapp. At one point Creed was definately one of the biggest bands in the US. They had back-to-back number one albums, number one singles, etc. Plus, Stapp is more of a "rock star" than Rob Thomas. Also, the clues (one and what if)are there.
ReplyDeleteNow he's solo and married to a Miss New York. I imagine she's a skinny minnie.
B1: Mariska Haritgay--"Grapevine","lovely" sounds like Olivia whom she plays on L&O
ReplyDeleteB2: I thought of the Creed guy-but he JUST got married. I am stumped because I can't think of anyone who was in the biggest band in the US very recently. hmmm
B3: Keira Knightley--"Love Actually" and BI says "love. Actually"
B4: Rod Stewart
hmmmmm
Mariska Hargitay sounds like the answer for #1. But what about this part of the item:
ReplyDelete"but instead the drop dead gorgeous (I know you are thinking clue) instructor who was and continues to give her private lessons."
I think another clue is in this part and "drop dead gorgeous" is mostly used to describe women.
For #2 - biggest band in the US very recently - Supernova (because of their name, not their exposure) and "rock star" Rock Star Supernova. Can anyone make that work?
ReplyDeleteAnd sadly, Mariska for #1, and Rod for #4 but really, who gives a rat's ass...
How about Marg Helgenberger for number 1? CSI seems to be on all the time, on many channels. She's been married for a while and has one child.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Rod Stewart for number 4.
to anon @ 2:47
ReplyDelete"I think another clue is in this part and "drop dead gorgeous" is mostly used to describe women."
i concur. i've heard gay mariska rumours before.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE Ent. Lawyer, throw us a crumb about MV! I'm dying about that one. Keira Knightley (love her) was the first one that entered my mind for #3, but even if she is the answer, I don't believe she's really gay.
ReplyDeletedrop dead gorgeous was also a movie about beauty pageants. but not sure if that helps in any way.
ReplyDeletehez - I've got a friend whose former hang out in the big smoke is a plethora of sightings. The Kroeger man was in there one night and I guess he was a huge prick. How sad to go from prarie pot boy to that. I used to do some work at the post production house where videos were done and it would just makes us laugh how certain performers wanted each video to be different but the minute anything new was tried they'd freak and insist on the same old look.
ReplyDelete#3=Scarlett Johansen and Josh Hartnett
ReplyDeleteYou know...
ReplyDeleteThe ladies of Sex In The City attended a tantric massage class in one of their episodes. Remember, Miranda was squirted in the eye.
Can't be SuperNova... their lead singer is a non-name they picked from the show. His name is Lukas and he's not married.
ReplyDeleteHas to be Scott Stapp.
Ok, I thought Mariska was actually very gay, and the singer Rob Thomas rumors were mistaken for the very gay and out Rob Thomas, creator of Veronica Mars.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, here are my guesses:
1~Courtney Cox
2~Scott Stapp
3~Kiera Knightly
4~Rod Stewart
Lily - It doesn't say the guy is the lead singer, just a rock star. Oh but wait, it says he's solo now...nevermind.
ReplyDeleteDamn, thought I had something there.
Francis Danger, Rob Thomas - writer of Veronica Mars is NOT gay. Trust me on this.
ReplyDeleteGetting to this late, I have to say you all have made excellent guesses--I like SJP for tantric tease,but isn't Matthew Broderick gay anyway? How 'bout Dave Matthews for the lingerie dude? Is he solo now? I'd say Keira Knightly and Rod Stewart are spot on for the others...You all are on fire today!
ReplyDeletePinky, Isn't the Rob Thomas on Matchbox 20 a different guy then the Rob Thomas with writer of Veronica Mars?
ReplyDeleteKeira seems to be the popular choice for the blind item but I'm just not feeling it. The few photos that I've seen of Keira and her current boyfriend do not show a couple "mugging for the cameras" or having public make out sessions. They're usually just walking down the street and talking.
ReplyDeletePinky, it was creative thinking for the Supernova guess, though. :)
ReplyDeleteI doubt it's Dave Matthews. He's still with DMB, but he's done some solo stuff. He doesn't live in LA (location of Trashy Lingerie), though. He splits time between Seattle and Virginia.
To Anonymous 3:51
ReplyDelete"Drop dead gorgeous" was a 1999 made-for-tv movie starring Kirsten Dunst, Ellen Barkin, Allison Janney (whoever she is), Denise Richards and Kirstie Alley...yes about beauty pagents
Rob Thomas actually spoke out on that rumor a long time ago. He said: "If I were gay, Tom wouldn't be on the top of my list...It would be BRAD PITT. I'm more offended by the rumours saying I'm Scientologist."
ReplyDeleteI always thought Mariska Hargitay was gay too. I dont know why, I just had that vibe.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I have an instinct that ent lawyer is an asian male. I kind of hope he isnt because then he'd wreck my fantasy...but if he is, I hope he's a super hot tall asian male. OK, I just had to get that out there. I really want him to be tall with dark hair but not asian.
1. I don't think it's Mariska, but I don't have any other guesses...
ReplyDelete2. ?
3. Maybe Elizabeth Hurley? I don't usually see pictures of Keira making out with her boyfriend, otherwise I would say it could be her.
4. Definitely Rod Stewart.
I will have to say the following:
ReplyDelete1. Mariska-I hear she is a "lovely"person.
2. Rob Thomas
3. Kiera Knightly
4. Rob Stewart- I believe that his ex did not get much from him at all and she claimed that she did not need and that she had her own money......................
#2 - I'm guessing that singer from "Fall Out Boy" who was guest starring in the series "One Tree Hill".
ReplyDeleteUh, who cares if Ent is Asian?
ReplyDeleteWhen I first read this, I immediately thought of Courtney Cox for the 1st one. No real reason, she is just who I pictured, but I think there is a valid case for (very much actually) for SJP.
ReplyDelete2. Pictured Dave Mathews. He lived not far from us and there were always wacky stories about him on somethin and doing bizarre as hell things.
3. I just dont see Kiera at all. Not sure who said it, but they really are not usually making out in photos...just walking and wearing some awful clothing at times. Sky showbiz has a lot of British news, I might have to investigate there a bit.
4. Rod Stewart. No doubt there on that one. I saw him going into a venue once and I had to laugh...his hair was so very noticable from afar, and he was so damn skinny/old looking too.
"Drop dead gorgeous" was a 1999 made-for-tv movie starring Kirsten Dunst, Ellen Barkin, Allison Janney (whoever she is), Denise Richards and Kirstie Alley...yes about beauty pageants"
ReplyDeleteI don't think any of the above are still married except Allison Janney, who was on "West Wing" . . . and while she could be considered handsome, wouldn't say she is 'drop dead gorgeous'.
okay i checked with my friend who used to be very close to the top at atlantic records and is very very close with rob thomas...
ReplyDeleteaccording to him that rumor about rob and tom is not true. but then again he used to be w/the label and may still be doing damage control.
but thought i'd at least pass on what he claims. not true.
Sarah Jess Parker
ReplyDeleteRob Thomas- that cruise rumour got buried with the "Big Red" rumours.
Keira Knightly
Rod Stewart= after alana he wasn't going to lose big again
Hi Ent!!! ")
watch for an "intervention" coming any day now
ReplyDeleteKiera, one of those rare instances where everyone seems to jump to and be in consensus on her for that BI. I too admit, that she's the one that popped into my mind when I read it. But I'm curious...why? There's no real previous indications or proof that she would or should be the obvious truth. How is it and based on what really, did we all come to the same conclusion that she has 'proclivities of that nature'? Has there been previous speculation about her sexuality?
ReplyDeletemischa barton is the british girl. Ted has hinyed about her in the past...
ReplyDeleteI meant that Ted Casablancas has hinted about Mischa Barton... it is possible she is even the subject of some blind vices on Eonline... my guess is that she is a lesbian...
ReplyDeleteI think that Keira is the automatic answer for so many because she is the most popular young British actress. But I'm not so sure it is her. Although the perfume clue and the love.Actually hint (which others found) are persuasive.
ReplyDeleteMischa Barton was born in England but I don't consider her to be a British actress.
According to IMDB:
"Born in London, England, but moved to New York when she was still a toddler."
She's more American than British.
For blind item #1, why does it say "her child" and not "their child"? Is this nothing or something?
I like your blog but I HATE the black background with the white letters. It hurts my eyes and I can only read it for about one entry.
ReplyDeleteif Mischa Barton has dual citizenship then she would be considered British as well as American
ReplyDeleteI was going to say Mischa for #3, but then a few of you guessed her! From what I understand, she is considered British (having been born there). In some ways, she makes more sense than Keira.
ReplyDeleteanon 5:55 that may be something. 'her child' vs 'thier child'
ReplyDeletethink your the first to catch that and may indeed be a clue. never heard any rumbling about mariska cheating and cant' pic that, but maybe or maybe it is someone from a csi show or another lo?
also to whomever asked the ? why so many are guessing kiera i think it may be her body language and facial expressions in so many pics of her w/rup. he seems to be looking at her and be totally into her, where she seems like she could care less. maybe just bcs the paps are around, but he always seems more focused on her.
just my thoughts.
I dont think it could be Mariska.. she just had her baby within 6 months. i dont thinkk she would be so desperate to get ot back that fast!
ReplyDeleteMariska Hargitay is #1. The "drop dead gorgeous" connection is Allison Janney, who invited Mariska on stage after winning an Emmy a couple years ago.
ReplyDeleteTrue, MH had her son not do long ago, but she reportedly is trying to have another.
#1 Could be Sarah Jessica Parker - she has a perfume line called "Lovely
ReplyDelete#2 Could be Rob Thomas. His wife is pretty tiny and used to be a model.
#3 Keira Knightly "Love. Actually" reference.
#4. Sounds like Rob Stewart to me.
#1 is def. mariska hargitay...
ReplyDelete- "grapvine" - she was in a tv series called grapevine in 1992
- law and order is always on tv
- just had a baby
megan
I think that is anons point with this...Kiera is not groping and making out like the blind item states. The only thing that really points to her is British and the love. Actually, otherwise it really does not fit her. I seriously have not seen one photo of those two being showy, which really makes me not at all think it is her. Mischa I could see. There have been several photos of her being extra lovey with the cameras around.
ReplyDeleteI definitely think it is Kiera Knightly - none of the others seem to fit - and the part "he doesnt even get to sniff her perfume" - do a search british actress and perfume and the top hit is Kiera....
ReplyDeleteThanks, for the nod to my wildly creative, and soundly wrong guess of SuperNova, Lily. And yes, anon, there are 2 Rob Thomases one with Matchbox 20 and the other the creator of Veronica Mars. The gay rumors surround RT of Matchbox 20 not the Veronica Mars RT - at least not until FrancesDanger put them out there. ;)
ReplyDeleteActually Pinky, there is a gay gossip forum which I will not link here as I'd hate to have it overrun by you fangurls that speculated quite a bit on RT of Veronica Mars, as well as some other people you'd probably scream were straight with you fingers in your ears to keep out all the 'icky' stuff. Asshat.
ReplyDeleteI stand corrected on the 'speculation' front, but not in my assertion that RT of Veronica Mars is straight.
ReplyDeletePinky Asshat
#2. Rob Thomas's first huge solo hit "Lonely No More" goes "What if I was good to you, what if you were good to me, What if I could hold you till I feel you move inside of me, What if it was paradise, what if we were symphonies, What if I gave all my life to find some way to stand beside you?"
ReplyDeleteNote the doubt & confusion. Also the "Number One" clue seems to indicate the band is both a #1 band and is a band with a number in the name. Just a few points.
Rob Thomas is into kinky but I don't think that is his kind of kink!
ReplyDelete
