I know I do not usually do links in the afternoon, but this one was too good to pass up. Ask Men magazine is reporting today that Nick Lachey is not getting married anytime soon. This was the first blog to tell you that and we told you on December 18th. I guess their source is not as good as mine. Either that or they just used my information and waited awhile so they would not get caught. That is the second time in a week this blog has been waiting for all the rest to catch up.

Now, with that being said, lets all get to what you really want to see.

If you are involved romantically with an actor or actress, you really should think 2,3,4, or even five times before letting them run off to some international movie set leaving you home alone. (I know what you are thinking/too easy) Well this actress has taken a shine to her new castmate. From the time filming started recently, they could not get enough of each other. She has been dating the same guy for awhile and this break from the mundane is exactly what she needed. At first she was going to treat it just as a fling. Not usually a tabloid victim means she can do what she wants and who she wants without much trouble. The problem is she has started to fall for her co-star and is maybe even PG(not like the movie). Her current boyfriend meanwhile is just waiting for his girlfriend to come home.

Hints are what you want so hints you will get. This is where we will start.

Adjectives will give you the advantage in these. Two you can see and one you cannot. If you call the event by two names rather than one, you will soon be having all the fun. To have more fun just rhyme the second name to find the missing adjective which will solve the Jackass part of the game.

Let us continue here.

These were supposed to be easy, but somehow you have gone astray. My latest Golden Globe date has a special chocolate relationship which should help put at least one in place. Sometimes a cat is a kitten, but they can still tear apart things if you let them.

    Ugh, I think the hints are even more confusing than the original blind items!

    Just thinking out loud, so correct me if I'm way off-base, but Ent's "latest GG date" is Drew Barrymore?

    "If that thing with Kate Hudson and I does not work out, then at least I have a back up plan. Drew Barrymore can be my date to the Golden Globes."

    But what is the chocolate relationship?

    Also, does third and biggest blind item refer to MV, and we are to assume that Ent has never uttered her name before on this blog (but that some commenters may have)?

    okay, here are the adjectives i've found in each of the jackass/kindness items. i may have missed some but i've verified they are all adjectives.

    in jackass we have: obnoxious, poor, humorous, and good appears twice.

    in kindness we have: lovely, fat, lucky, and incredible appears twice.

    i'm really stuck on the hint about calling the event by 2 names. i wasn't aware that the awards show and the jackass/kindness had anything to do with each other so i'm totally confused there.

    Sorry, Lily, but kicking and screaming are both nouns (gerunds). Adjectives modify nouns, adverbs and other adjectives. So, words like "loud," "obnoxious" and "angry" would qualify.

    Also note use of "astray"--like "stray cat."

    What were the guesses for the Kindness? What adjectives rhyme with that last name? (e.g. "furry")

    ReplyDelete
  28. Anonymous12:56 PM

    For the record, yelling and screaming can also be adjectives when they modify nouns (the yelling man), but Ent was using them as nouns in his post, as hez pointed out.

    Here is the list I came up with for the jackass part:

    favorite
    good
    louder
    obnoxious
    good
    poor
    good
    angry
    half (and other numbers)
    annoying
    far
    far
    good

    At first I thought that the "two we could see" referred to two adjectives that we'd already commented on, but now I am thinking that Ent is saying that two of the adjectives are visual qualities (like tall and short) and the third is not visual (like loud or smelly).

    There is another adjective in the kindness portion not identified in the posts thus far, which is also 2 words - don't forget the clue that said "if you call the event by 2 names rather than just one, you'll soon be having all the fun)

    That word is - overnight (she went from bit player to big star almost overnight)

    overnight is an event as well as an adjective, so if we split it into over and night, maybe we'll be on the right track?

    Don't know where to go from there, but this seems to be where the clue is directing us.

    Well, everyone knows JLo doesn't know how to sing so that is not a big shocker. But EntL has never mentioned Norah Jones either and at the beginning he said that it would devestate the music industry if it ever got out. I know that she has won several awards. But I hardly believe the music industry would be devestated if everyone found out it was JLo. But Norah Jones? She would have several awards taken away!

    I'm ready to get on the JLo bandwagon for MV. Her "first ever concert was 2 shows in 2001, in Puerto Rico, filmed (edited and cut) for a DVD release"

    There was a lot of stink about her not singing live before that DVD was released.

    She has never really "toured" although she scheduled a "mini tour" for 2006 that she not only cancelled, but had to pay the promoters for their expenses up to the point that she called it off in order to avoid being sued.

    She doesn't sing when she appears on the chat shows, or the awards shows.

    She's been in a lot of movies that she didn't even have a song of her own during the credits or as background music....singers always get a song on the soundtrack.

    It would rock the world because of the number of CD's sold, and because people think of her as a singer that became an actress (even though her real start was as a dancer). There are several CD's, but there are a lot of repeated and remixed songs among them.

    If there is a JLo mention tomorrow, I will know it's a lock!!

  81. Anonymous4:50 PM

    I think Ent fudged on several things to protect his butt. And, I think one of the details was the touring mv did. I think it is Jlo for many reasons. Why do it in the first place? Because it makes financial sense for a talented beautiful woman in the movies who is crazy hot in all ways, who is getting promoted and talked about incessantly, and having done Selena and the success of that. The promoters wanted to cash in on the dynamic flow of this cash cow. Her vocals couldn't support it so they got somebody close enough to her voice that could hold a note and voila. The producers at the time said that they had to work on her vocals in the studio with software since they were so weak. But I think they were covering their asses because the voice was different enough that they had to excuse for it.

    Since her successful releases she has been quiet for a couple of years. Now she has come out with another CD and her voice sounds different. They can excuse it by saying that it is in another language but the voice is so lovely and, since I speak spanish, I can compare it to the other CDs. I think she may have another session singer backing her because her voice aint good enough to sound like this latest. JMO

    ReplyDelete
  82. I also don't think it is JLo because she just released an album in Spanish, I think. The blind item says that with the last lump payment S received signaled the end of S' involvement, and thus, possibly/probably the end of MV. So I think we need to look at someone who hasn't released an album recently. If it is JLo then this will be her last album released. Someone said Shania Twain, whom hasn't been mentioned on this blog before by ENT and she hasn't done anything for a while.

    bmini gave two great reasons why mv can't be JLo: because JLo hasn't realy toured, and MV has, and also because JLo just released an album in Spanish, and MV, we might be led to believe, has kept a lower profile since the settlement.

    I have a hard time believing it's Shania Twain just because she's performed live with folks like Willie Nelson and Allison Krauss/Union Station...but maybe that is part of the shock value, that everyone bought into MVs game.

    Also, with Norah Jones' connection to Ravi Shankar, that would kind of be a shocker, to me at least.

    If there is a blog that has been following this and has been approaching the guessing / elimination systematically (we, myself included, keep going over the same names here with no breakthroughs), please link!

    Like I said before, it could be Jlo if Ent L was fudging on the detail of touring. And, her spanish album does not sound like her and neither does her old stuff sound like her...

    The only other one I can think of is Anastasia. She is a blond babe who sounds quite black. It is very strange. She is huge across the seas and has toured hugely...

    Well, the "special chocolate relationship" is clearly Drew as Gertie in ET and her Reese's Pieces. For the life of me I can't figure out how to fit it into the lexical Jenga Ent has constructed for us today, but I am certain that part of the code is cracked. Now, whether the clue is in the candy's name or the movie's name, that I dunno.

    Re: JLo as MV

    I always considered JLo as a possibility, but what threw me off was that MV was in everywhere including commercials. I don't remember her in commercials. I believe the commercials clue is what heightened the argument for Jessica Simpson (which ENT later denied)

    Just to clarify...

    JLo has done a few concerts. The two in PR were billed as a tour. She has never developed a show, loaded it on 5 semi trucks with 40 people and gone to 60 cities in 100 days, that is "really" touring.

    The work that was done "for the tour" would certainly be more believeable in a 2 show, start-and stop-because-of-filming kind of concert situation.

    Plus, you are assuming that she can't sing at all...which is unlikely. The new stuff may very well be her voice. Age, experience, confidence all mature a voice and a good engineer can polish it right up to sell. New CD's service her fanbase, who are going to buy what she puts out. She is not competing for attention with upstarts for shelf space, radio play, etc.

    *squee* hez, you are a genius with the special chocolate relationship. I totally forgot about that, but seem to remember Yoda being in an M&Ms commercial ca. early 80s. Something to do with E.T. and/or Reese Witherspoon? Grabbing at straws here, but "This very smart actress finally got her big break and then the show was no more" now looks like "big break"=oscar or divorce and the show is over=divorce.

    I think it's Janet. I listened to her most recent single and she is pro-tooled to death. J-Lo didn't really tour. Janet was also initially reluctant to go into the recording industry because she didn't feel she was a talented singer compared to her family.

    PS: I have no further insight about the MV blind item other than to say it is NOT Leann Rimes. I've seen her live, and while she's not necessarily my cup of tea, she's got bona fide singing chops and the voice is 100% her own.

    (Wedding Day)

    To have more fun just rhyme the second name to find the missing adjective which will solve the Jackass part of the game.

    I don't think it's Nia Vardalos. Her TV show was quickly cancelled and I heard a lot of stories of her being a supremely bitchy diva type on set. The crew kind of rejoiced when the show was cancelled, and the bloom quickly went off her rose. Doesn't fit to me.

    Might be about the Jackass. However, I don't see it as John Corbett, though. He strikes me as way too mellow (he dates Bo Derek fercripesakes)to be popping off like that.

    Anon @ 10:57 is right: the key seems to be that it's a rhyme with "wedding day" (or just "day"), not necessarily an actor in the movie.

    Ok--last word then i'm going to bed. I like the Jack Black guess b/c throughout he calls the man Mr. Ass. This would be the type of wordplay Ent'l would do for "fun". Name's "Jack", so calls him Mr. Ass--he would think that was so obvious. This works with the hint too (he says "name" rather than "word"--Jack's a name, and in his item, Ass is a name). The "event" is the posting of Jackass/Kindness. Jack Black was also in Dead Man Walking and Run Ronnie Run; Melvin Goes to Dinner; and something with the word "kind". I'm crossing that one off the list.

    I still like Big Fat Greek Wedding for the Kindness. Wiki says this: "Vardalos, of Greek descent, had done many different works but gained almost overnight success." Another bio on Yahoo uses "overnight" as well. The word "overnight" looks familiar. "no matter where in the world she is" reference to greece? Looks like she's got other income than acting.

    She's also a do-gooder: "Actress Nia Vardalos (“My Big Fat Greek Wedding”) taught eight girls from Roosevelt High School how to write a screenplay and then arranged to have the five-minute screenplay shorts performed with professional actors."

    The hint is adjectives :
    '2 you can see and one you cannot.' Two of the first adjectives to appear in the Kindness item are Big and Fat. An adjective you can't see? Black - an adjective that's not there and you can literally not see it. also And/or the word Greek.

    So, for the Kindness item: Big and Fat, hmmm... how about My Big Fat Greek Wedding. "If you call the event by 2 names rather than one you will soon be having all the fun' Possibly this could be big wedding and fat wedding. Same meaning but two names rather than one. 'Rhyme the 2nd name and you will find the missing adjective that will solve the jackass part of the game'. Fat is the 2nd and it rhymes with Black.

    now for the Jackass post. He calls the man Mr. Ass. Thus Mr Ass = Jack Ass. (as Voice of Reason said)
    The hints says you should call the event (which could also be the posting of the blind item as someone said - named jackass- by 2 names not one i.e not just Mr Ass but also a second name, Jack. Then rhyme the 2nd name (Jack) and you've 'got the adjective which will solve the Jackass part of the game': (Jack rhymes with black). Jack Black. Jack Black was also in Dead Man Walking and Run Ronnie Run and Melvin Goes to Dinner says Voice of Reason. He has a new movie in postproduction (so probably coming out soon). Somewhat ironically it is called 'Be Kind Rewind'. The items also says "the wrath of Mr. Ass" Jack Black was in "King Kong"-the wrath of Kong is a well-known way of describing King Kong(as someone alreay mentioned).

    For those suggesting Norah Jones as MV... First she is on BlueNote, probably the most legit label in the history of the industry, with an extremely low-key approach to marketing.

    Also, she came out of the jazz studies program at University of North Texas, the best program in the entire country, and received several DownBeat magazine student awards when she was still in high school. As a musician, she is about as legit as it comes. If you were going to fake a pop star, you'd pick someone considerably more camera friendly, not a kinda thick, freckly girl that can't dance.

    Chocolate a possible reference to his skin color;

    he has had a 'flat' ('flat out') top,
    was Rock 'poor'?,
    he has all kinds of stuff coming out soon,

    for today's blind item, what if 'five' is for Party of Five and its Neve Campbell, instead of JLH? she's been overseas for lots of movies lately, though I can't find out who she's dating.

    --Spambiscuits: I've thought before that Brit couldn't sing. I saw her live on SNL once and noticed that to sing certain notes, she had to position herself just right. I noticed because when I do my car or shower singing, etc, I sometimes have to do the same thing. (specifically, holding her neck in the back to reach lower notes) I couldn't believe a 'professional' would be doing the same thing a meager, not even 'amateur' person would need to do.

    ReplyDelete
  140. I've seen Britney live in concerts with great close seats (with my daughter). It was the most OBVIOUS lip-synching event I've ever seen. Even my 8-yr old daughter (at the time) was completely disgusted because it was THAT OBVIOUS.

    It has to be somebody big enought to "blow the music world up and shake it to its core..." - this person would have at least been mentioned in Rolling Stone once be it a review or something.

    All other female noteables that I saw - either sound too much like the way the speak (like J. Lo - I'm sure she's a victim of overworking ProTunes, but not this) or can actually sing (I had thought of Mandy Moore - but I saw her live with Backstreet Boys plus she's not big enough as far as sales and tours)

    Who else is there? Name somebody and I'll tell you why it's not them.

    If this is a true blind item - then has to be Brit, but she saw about the double-autographed album and blew his lid off, threatened to sue, whatever and he came on here and said we were wrong to cover his ass! Wouldn't you if you were him?

    Otherwise it must be just a made up story...albeit a good one.

I will only believe it if britney brings out something new. mind you, with all this talk about it they might just go back to S and offer her a load of money to do it for her again. think about it, britney even cancelled her tour, wouldnt you if you were just lip synching? you would just think it a waste of time.

    on the beyonce... wondered if the timing of release date in 2000 worked for her first going solo? maybe that was when things changed. i'm prob tryin to make her fit bcs i too do not like her... she has been very rude to every dj i know. even when they are trying to help promote her she just acts like she's better than the whole world and def more beautiful than anyone else. she almost gotten one jock fired just bcs of a little backhanded comment about her make up.
    anyway yeah prob want it to be her to bring her and her too proud fam down!

  154. RGirl - I'm witcha - don't like Beyonce either - but MV just isn't her. There's no way to make it make sense.

    I also thought of maybe Avril Lavigne, but she also sounds the ways she sings when she speaks and I heard her sing live on TV once and she sucked - definitely didn't have any pre-recorded help.

    I'm not convinced it's not Janet Jackson. Her sound is way more synthetic on the new album than in some of her previous albums. Without S, they had to pro-tool her to death. Her family has connections to be able to do something like what is described.

    Yes, I would much prefer to think of Johnny Depp in that foursome than Jake Gyllenhaal. But he's got a June birthday.

    I also thought that Drew (not Keira) was the latest GG date. [But someone please confirm that she was a prior lesbian bi--and then get her to invite me to the GG!] And I like the guess that someone came up with saying the "chocolate relationship" was Reese's Pieces.

    I know there have been those rumors that Reese was with Jake that we all thought were a laugh and a half b/c we assume he's gay. Has she been linked to anyone else? If not, as I mentioned, Jake's B-day was 12/19.

    To reiterate my earlier posts: The two possible "hints" I gleaned from the Bosworth anorexia article could be something to do with "Superman Returns" (he used the phrase "big production" in giving us the hint, and it was named in the article) or, though a bit more removed, the birthday connection with Kate's man James Rousseau and Jake Gyllenhaal. Again, December 19.

    I reiterate b/c 1) I want to know if anyone even thinks this Reese thing is a possibility (she doesn't seem the type, he doesn't seem the type, but it best fits the hints he's dropped); and 2) because I haven't heard from anybody about what they think the Kate Bosworth article "hint" is.

    Also, I don't think it's Ent'l's style to make us go into contortions to make his hints fit. Usually they're somewhat difficult to figure out, but once you do, it all falls into place (the Jack Black one is a good example). He's working backwards, so he thinks of the person, wikis and imdbs him and uses clues from there. Once you figure out who it is and you do the same, it's totally obvs where the clues came from.

    yeah def not avril...have had her on the air in studio several times. although not the brightest bulb to interview she sounded like herself singing less that 4 ft away.

    okay here's why it may not be brit.. based on the 2000 timeline. why have S come in after 1 album had been released for sure... and timing of second i think means it was recorded prior to S coming on the scene too. here's why.

    With the release of her debut album, "...Baby One More Time" in early 1999, Britney became an international success, selling 13 million copies of "Baby" and 9 million (as of July 2001) of her sophomore album, "Oops!...I Did It Again," released in May of 2000.

    ReplyDelete
  161. Janet Jackson was the only other viable guess in my mind. But I ruled her out because she's been around since forever. I've never seen her live in concert, only on "live" on TV, and I alwasy found her "live" performances questionable at best. So I would say maybe to her first successfuly album came out 20 or more years ago...and she just released a new album...and I was under the impression that MV wasn't up to anything at the moment..

    MV is Britney. Dates were fudged to make it less obvious.

    Certainly explains why someone who is not a relative or a lover can give her such a 'free pass' when her behaviour, granted,magnified by media scrutiny, has been appalling. By any standards.

    Except ENT's apparently.

    You guys are missing the mark with Britney. First point is that S was seeking counsel to collect payment that had been suspended by financial issues of the artist and their representation. Spears' net worth is above the $100M mark.

    Think a bit more mature sounding voice... as S was quite established as a studio vocalist at the time this occurred. Second clue is that the artist has had an inconsistent financial history.

    MV was not mentioned as not being up to anything at the moment... she was simply mentioned as being on her own from there on... and Janet Jackson sounds horrible on her latest album, unlike her previous efforts.

    It could be Jlo as her financial history could be sketchy depending on her investments. She had her fingers in so many pies, doing perfumes, clothing and what not that perhaps it made her immediate cash fund access small. Until the money came in from further sales on the inventory.

    I don't think it is her on the latest CD. Have you seen the video? Gosh, her voice sounds lush, resonant. Can't be her unless she has had fantastic lessons. I saw a live show of hers recently and without S backing her up, she sounded awful.

    Once again, I think some of you are wrong with your MV guesses. Ent would not burn his Britney bridge.

    Plus, in the blind, MV comes off sounding like a royal beeyotch, and when have you ever heard Britney be anything other than "gosh, y'all"? I really don't think she goes all Miss Ross behind closed doors. Just doesn't fit.

    But Brandy is quite a good guess, actually.

    Voice of reason's post @ 9:46 AM has lots of good advice in it (esp the last para), but you guys are way off with "Chocolat". Drew is the source of the clue, and I really think it's nothing to do with Depp or Kiera.

    It would be huge if it was Brit. She was the number one selling artist in the world. The clues are there. Perhaps Ent became friends with her through this and the friendship provides a safety net for them both from the truth being found out. He has mentioned her in previous blogs so that does not match up.

    The only ones not mentioned are Jlo and Shania Twain. Janet Jackson was mentioned once so very briefly and offhand that Ent may have missed that one. So, now my guess is one of these three.

    My guess for the Kindness is Brit.

    He isnt burning any bridges, we are just saying that looking at the clues it looks like its her, and if it isnt her its Janet, Shania or Jlo. Unless we have it totally wrong. Ent wont confirm or deny anything, the only people he has denied it is is Britney and Jessica simpson. there may be others.

    another clue is that he said there was going to be an interview about issues in MV's life. who is a major star and having problems?

    does anyone have yesterdays clue thats now gone? maybe there was an anagram or someting in there and he didnt want us to work it out.

    The biggest of all was a clue. Brit was the biggest of all, even on the Phorbes list and in the music world. At her height there was no one bigger, she even topped Madonna in sales worldwide.

    Then there was Whitney with her 'biggest love of all' song. But he has mentioned Whitney Houston in the blogs three times.

    Then there is Celine Dion with her song for Titanic which is the greatest selling movie of all time. But Ent has mentioned her too.

    Heck I don't know. Jlo has not toured unless you count the made for DVD concerts. Would that count?

    someone more like michelle branch or pink timeline.

    the older ones have been around and if S didn't come into picture till after they'd released several albums then wouldn't that be pretty obvious something changed?

    so i feel like it has to be a newer artist whose first album wld have come out then.

    The one who really changed was Janet Jackson- from her first couple of CDs. She was not impressive, then bang... she came on the scene with power. Ent said he fudged on the years so you can't go by the timeline he set at the beginning. Janet fits all the other clues.

    Ok... a bit more of a clue on MV... look for someone with consistency in producers (same or same 'family') - track to track, album to album.

    Different producers are going to get the artist in the studio all the time to work. Impossible that so many producers could be in on something like this. Easy way to disqualify many of the names on the list of singers that have been floating around is to run through the producers they have worked with (btw - another good clue is label consistency vs. changes).

    This leads into the second point... think big, but not huge. A huge success will have producers coming after them to want to cash in. A big success would have chased a producer (either themselves or setup by label/management) and could have possibly been made big by a single good producer, but have been prevented from becoming huge for the very same reason.

    As for Britney being MV: I'm a Swede in Stockholm (northern Europe, y'all) and Britney recorded most of her first two albums here in a small studio called "Cheiron".

    Now, Sweden and Stockholm is a small community and Cheiron used a big crew of producers for projects like Spears. If she had not sung herself, it would most definitely have been rumored about and we would have heard it here. No doubt.

    Also, Brit Brit was in a relationship with Justin Timberlake who actually has some musical talent and composes great harmonies for his solo tracks with Timbaland. He would no doubt have noticed this instantly, so I don't think Britney would have dared.

    Shania is the only one I can think of who had the same producer over and over... her husband.

    Others have heard her sing, but well? Maybe she can carry a tune but needed more brilliance in her vocals to take her to the next step.

    Have you guys seen any episodes of her show Chaotic? She sings constantly on it (yes, she's one of those annoying people who walks around singing to herself all the time), and her voice sounds exactly the same as it does on her recordings.

    My two cents.

    Even colder with Shania. She started out with in Nashville Mercury, who she remained with, even though her first album wasn't so great. Mutt produced starting on the second album (sold 12M). She didn't start touring until the third album, and only toured a second time for UP!. Though Mutt did all production, tracks were recorded all over the place - LA, NYC, Stockholm, Berlin, London, Zurich, Aukland, Mumbai... An impossible feat for a ringer to make it to the studio.

    Another point of disqualification... Mutt has an extremely consistent income, is a very careful spender, and was extremely successful prior to producing Shania (and has produced several multi-plat singles for other artists since her).

    Jennifer Lopez (I can't say J.Lo with a straight face, it sounds like a brand of cheap fruit juice)... cold. Janet... even colder.

    First Janet. She comes from one of the most talented families in entertainment history, and is quite a talented and versatile (proven triple-threat) performer. She was performing on national television as young as 10 years old. It is odd that someone could even suggest her, for a long list of reasons.

    Lopez is, again, another triple-threat (though far less threatening), and music was the last area she established herself in. She was basically made by Mottola. There would have NEVER been possibility of pulling one over on Mottola, again, for a long list of reasons.

    The official story of MV's discovery is that she was pretty much delivered to the label, almost overnight.

    rikkitikkitavi, where does this statement come from? I went through the original MV post and couldn't find it, too lazy to search through the updates.

    If I'm applying this correctly, this statement refers to Mandy Moore.

    If someone can confirm this quote - I can't find it, then Jennifer Lopez or Jessica Simpson is MV. Not Janet Jackson. And Brit has already been written off since she's unofficially a friend of Ent, right?

    Mandy Moore did not have a huge success and ENT also stated :

Her 2003 album was no. 14 on billboard, that's not too shabby and a lot of people know who she is/recognize her. Not only would it be shocking to her music career, she's up and coming in movies. She'd lose her film credibility also as well as her fan base, I'm sure.
