Today's Blind Items
This former not very long ago A-list movie actress with a non-movie star husband has gone through four maids in the last four months. Their previous maid was with them for almost ten years and was with them all of the time. And when I say all of the time I mean all of the time. The only time she actually acted like a maid was when there were guests over who didn't know how close she was to the lady and gentleman of the house. Well, the maid grew older and so they decided to find a new one. No luck as each of the maids has been less than thrilled with the advances made not just by the husband, but by our actress as well. The agency sending the maids over knows what's happening, but just keeps sending new ones over for a tryout.
Julia Roberts
ReplyDeleteI thought Julia Roberts too, but she hasn't been married for 10 years and the BI specifically says "with them for almost 10 years"
ReplyDeleteAre there really any Hollywood couples that have been together for 10 years anymore??? I can only think of Travolta-Preston, but he's an actor.
ReplyDeletemichelle pfeiffer???
ReplyDeleteMadonna!
ReplyDeleteSandra Bullock and Jessie James
ReplyDeleteMadonna was never an A-list actress. Sandra and Jesse have not been together for 10 years, and Michelle Pfeiffer was maybe an A-list actress in the late 80s/early 90s. The BI says "former, not very long ago A-list actress".
ReplyDeleteAnnette Bening and Warren Beatty
ReplyDeleteWaaa ... cannot remember anyone from 1997 who would fit the BI except for Gloria Stuart the old lady Rose from TITANTIC bless her heart she's still alive and kicking and is nearing 100.
ReplyDeleteNon-movie husband - Warren Beatty is certainly a movie husband.
ReplyDeleteMichelle Pfeiffer is married to David E. Kelley - that is a good guess...
Michelle P and Annette B good guess but the BI says the husband is not in the movie biz
ReplyDeletewell... technically david e. kelley isn't in the movie business. isn't he a TV producer?
ReplyDeleteRuss & Kimora
ReplyDeleteThe blind item says he isn't a movie star.
ReplyDeleteHe could still be in the movie business as well as tv.
HELLO - Michelle Pfeiffer has not been consider A-LIST for at least 10 years!
ReplyDeletePeople, please read.
ReplyDeleteIt says the couple have had the maid for 10 yrs. So they have been married for at least 10 yrs.
The husband is NOT a movie actor.
The wife is a former A-list movie actress.
Michelle Pfiffer and David E. Kelly sounds like a really good guess. He is a television producer and they have been married since 1993.
Frances McDormand.
ReplyDeleteMeryl Streep
ReplyDeleteMeryl Streep is still A list (Oscar nom this year for Devil Wears Prada); the item says former A list.
ReplyDeleteGlenn Close? I think her husband is not in the biz, and she hasn't done much lately.
Just reread the item. Michelle Pfeiffer might be a good guess - David E. Kelly is def. "non-movie star."
ReplyDeleteBut (and, yes, I always have trouble with this) - would she really be considered a recent former A list movie star? She hasn't done much since the 90s and those weren't big hits. Sigh. The alphabet lists are just shades of grey for me.
I hope their previous maid was well-paid and received plenty of bonuses.
ReplyDeleteWhat a depressing life being expected to no only clean their toilets but to service them as well!
Cate Blanchett? She got married to a non-movie person in Dec 1997, making it almost10 years of being married. The former housekeeper in question would only have to be with them for almost 10 years.
ReplyDeletePISLY
How long has Diane Lane been married?? By the looks of Unfaithful, she still gets down!!
ReplyDeleteRuss and Kimora...are you kidding me? She is not and never was a Alist movie actress or even an actress at all....come on now
ReplyDeleteDiane Lane has been married only for a few years, and her husband,Josh Brolin is a movie actor. Not them
ReplyDeleteDoes this sound like any connection to the not-so-blind item on Perez?
ReplyDelete[Friends of what A-list diva are concerned about her recently converting to Scientology?
Even though she's publicly denied this, sources close to the superstar confirm to PerezHilton.com that she converted.
"She has slowly replaced (uncomfortably pushed out) most staff who was not into the religion," says a well-placed source. "Her long time house keeper was so uncomfortable with the new 'workers' in the house, a.k.a. Scientology folk, that she was forced to leave."
The picante diva has been shunning old friends as well and only surrounding herself with other Scientologists]
If so it sounds like J-Lo
READ THE BI PEOPLE!!!! JLo has NOT been married 10 years.
ReplyDeleteJLo is not an A List movie actress, plus her and Marc have not been together for 10 years
ReplyDeletehelen mirren?
ReplyDeleteThat opening line is bugging me - "this former not very long ago A list movie actress." So does "former" mean formerly A list? or former movie actress? I'm thinking the "not very long ago" is parenthetical and that the actress is no longer A list but still acting.
ReplyDeleteAnd skip my guess of Glenn Close. Husband fits, but she's only been married to this one for a year.
Helen Mirren is def A list, so she doesn't fit.
ReplyDeleteDamn, you know you're Hollywood jaded when you get bored with your willing menage-a-trois maid that will do anything. Those kind of people don't just grow on trees.
ReplyDeleteOr do they?
"READ THE BI PEOPLE!!!! JLo has NOT been married 10 years."
ReplyDeleteRead it yourself. No where does it say the BI couple has been married the whole ten years.
It's probably still not JLo but you don't have to be an ass when you didn't read it carefully either.
Julianne Moore is married to a non-celeb. Although they've only recently married, they've been together for about 10 years. She was also in the movie about the husband who was gay and her best friend was a maid.
ReplyDeleteIn response to the rude poster calling people names...people are saying this because of the reference to the Perez BI about J-Lo, which most certainly is about J-Lo (who was in Maid in Manhattan by the way.)
ReplyDeleteShe has not been married to MA for that long, however, so it can't be her.
I'm banking on Julianne Moore, but she always seems like the epitomy of class and grace.
I kinda agree with SB about the opening line and am wondering if it should be read: "this former (not very long ago A list) movie actress...", meaning it's someone who was an A list movie actress and is retired or is now doing television. what do you think?
ReplyDeleteI know we guess them a lot, but what about M.Douglas and CZJ?
ReplyDeleteyeah, i think the wording is bad on this blind item. it's too confusing. i do hope it is revealed though......
ReplyDeleteMichael Douglas is a movie star, so it can't be CZJ.
ReplyDeleteMichael Douglas is a movie actor. The BV says non movie srat husband
ReplyDeleteOT--Dlisted has pictures of Nicole Eggert from a Samsung evert. She's looking a bit rough. Poor girl.
ReplyDeleteD'oh!! Sorry, that was a stupid of me. I got nothin'.
ReplyDelete1:41 I think you are right as it doesn't say married ten years & JLo's long term "staff" (entourage) is being let go of in record #s as per Perez scoop this AM. She certainly was A list until a couple of years ago. I don't know about menage a trois though, just sounds like a little extra spice for a BI.
ReplyDeleteIt isn't JLO, She hasn't been with Mark for 10 years. Perez'z not so blind item may be about her but not this one.
ReplyDeleteAnd I have no guess other than Cindy Crawford...who was certainly and A List model in her day.
Although Helen Mirren is one of the best actors out there, I don't consider her "A" list simply because she is not a leading lady type.
ReplyDeleteCindy Crawford was never an A list actress.
It has to be somebody who used to be a superstar actress recently but now is playing second fiddle. And married for ten years.
This is a tough one.
Meryl Streep
ReplyDeletei think michelle pfiefer is a good guess
ReplyDeleteI found another potential match.
ReplyDeleteLiv Tyler.
She was not so long ago an "A" list actress, Lord of the Rings, etc.
Seems to have dropped out of the spotlight the last couple of years.
Her husband is a musician. They have been married since 2003, BUT... they have been dating since 1998, engaged since 2001.
So they have been together for roughly 10 years.
Liv Tyler anyone????
OOOOOhhhh... Liv might be a good one then! Helen Mirren ain't married or anywhere close, I believe. I still say Frances McDormand or Tyler, just can't see Pfeiffer licking the carpet.
ReplyDeleteLiv Tyler was never an A list actress, but Helen Mirren is - so I think you're a little confused.
ReplyDeletebe adequite - please do your research. Helen Mirren IS married and has been for ten years.
ReplyDeleteSo, for a completly different guess, what about Deborah Messing and Daniel Zelman. They got engaged in 1998 per imdb, he hasn't done any movie/tv work since 2000 so he could technically not be in the biz anymore? She is just the first person who came to mind.
ReplyDeleteJulia Roberts?
ReplyDeleteMessing has never been an A list movie actress.
ReplyDeleteJulia Roberts is still considered A list.
ReplyDeleteProbably not Deborah Messing - though she has appeared in a movie or two, I would not say that she could be considered an A list movie actress at any point.
ReplyDeleteThat's one of the things we need to keep in mind -
A list movie actress - formerly (in some way)
non-movie star husband
10 year relationship w/husband
Need more clues, I think, though I have not yet had time to dissect the item itself to see if there might be clues in there.
Sigh.
I enjoy these blinds, but have the ass of people throwing guesses out there without reading them properly.
ReplyDeleteRenee Russo came to my mind. Is she married?
ReplyDeleteAnon 5:00 and others - you can get that information by checking out www.imdb.com.
ReplyDeleteWHEN ARE YOU GOING TO REVEAL SOME BLINDS ITEMS. I AM LOSING TRACK!!!
ReplyDeleteSo...just go to Wikipedia, look up Oscar Best Actress/Supporting Actress winners who are consistently leading ladies in several movies, probably someone considered A-List from late 80s until early 2000s, figure out which one is still married for nearly a decade.
ReplyDeletePISLY
damn yall bitch in the comments a LOT....
ReplyDeleteEVERY time i come here to read the guesses you guys have to argue about comprehension skills...
SHUT UP...just guess or dont...
invisible what's your guess?
ReplyDeleteI like the Michelle Phifer guess. I thought about Ashley Judd, but she hasn't been married for 10 years.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell? They aren't married, but maybe Ent's throwing us off course, and GH and KR have been together forever so they may as well be married. Plus, they seem like they could be the type to diddle the maid. She is definitely former A-list, and although he has been in movies, I wouldn't consider him a movie star.
ReplyDeleteIT'S LIKE RETARDS WITH NO COMPREHENSION SKILLS GUESS.
ReplyDeleteThis is not that tough. I hate the posters here, over confident corn eaters. F YOU!
FYI my gossip-loving peops, the BI says "non-movie" lest you overlook the tv show and theatre husbands...
ReplyDeletePfeiffer popped into my head halfway thru this BI..
Unless the couple likes older women, they too (at least one of them) is "old" now as well...
....Don't think I really want the answer on this one now that I think about it...blech!
Jamie Lee Cutis!?
ReplyDeleteYou know, I so wanted this to be Annette Bening and Warren. Reason why is that it would tie in with something very specific. Years ago The Nanny's Fran Drescher revealed in her autobiography that she was pretty freaked out when she discovered that Warren Beatty and then girlfriend Isabelle Adjani (sp) had been watching her on TV all the time and seriously wanted to hook up with her for a threesome. I think they even went so far as to invite her over for one, and she was freaked out by the whole thing. Don't know if by the time Annette rolled around Warren had given up those "ways," but I couldn't help thinking about his tendency to "order in" whenever he wanted a threesome back in the day. Maybe Annette doesn't put up with that, though.
ReplyDeleteI like the Goldie Hawn guess, although the original guesser thought that the fact that they are not married might negate the guess- well, they have lived together so long, they are probably considered "common law" husband & wife- and I think its a great guess!
ReplyDeleteAMS
This is old school EL.
ReplyDeleteHow about some Jay Leno S&M Gossip???
ya know all about it !!!!!!!
How about Sharon Stone and husband Phil Bronstein (newspaper editor). They married in 1998. She was definitely A list in the late 90's. not sure if that equals not very long ago or not.
ReplyDeleteLauren Holly
ReplyDeleteScratch that sharon Stone guess - appears shes been divorced since 2004.
ReplyDeletecompletely unrelated, but i'd love to hear your view on this blog (http://jonathanjaxson.blogspot.com/), EL
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing Emma Thompson. She has certainly been A-list, having won one Oscar and nominated for four. But except for Nanny McPhee (which was a fairly low-key film) she hasn't been in anything since Harry Potter and she didn't have a starring role in that.
ReplyDeleteHer husband, Greg Wise, has been in a few films and tv shows, but is in no way a star. They have been together since at least 1998, because their child was born in 1999.
The maid makes sense- when she was with Kenneth Branagh, they used to be mocked relentlessly for living the high life- including having a staff at home. This lifestyle could have easily continued with Greg Wise.
Plus, I think that there are several other clues in the BI, including the terms 'maid' (she played a housekeeper in The Remains of the Day), 'gentleman' and 'lady' (she and Greg Wise played a gentleman and lady in Sense and Sensibility).
What do you think, ENTy?
Amanda
OKAY - Lauren Holly? Goldie Hawn? Jamie Lee Curtis? NOT A-List actresses!!!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 8:17pm - I share your frustration here. It's like one big sandbox of DUH!
What about Brooke Sheilds?
ReplyDeleteBrooke Shields? I give up.
ReplyDeleteKurt Russell IS a MOVIE STAR!!!!! Cindy Crawdford IS a MODEL
ReplyDeleteDebra Messing IS a TV STAR
Russell and Kimora are NOT in the MOVIE BIZ
Brook Shields IS a MODEL/TV ACTRESS
Michael Douglas IS a MOVIE STAR
Nuff said
oh, some of these guesses are laugh-out-loud. read it!!!!
ReplyDelete11:38...Love the Emma Thompson guess...she's always set my gaydar off a bit
ReplyDeleteI definitely thought English with the lady and gentleman thing and everything seems to fit. I'm on board!
Now start using a nic and take credit for your work! Just click on "Other" and type in a nic.
Hey Mary Mac-
ReplyDeleteI've got Amanda on the post.
Glad to know someone's reading all the comments! Thanks for the back-up. And you are right- she is a bit of a gaydar set off, isn't she? Not that there's anything wrong with that! :)
Amanda
Twisted Sister - I would say that Goldie Hawn is absolutely a former A list actress. I think she's a good guess. And for the husband, perhaps ent means a non-movie STAR, emphasis on the star, which I would agree that Kurt Russell is not. Having been in some crappy movies 10 years ago does not make one a star.
ReplyDeleteI read it to mean that the husband is not an actor and never was. But I don't have any guesses.
ReplyDeleteAnon 7:28 Please check out Kurt Russel's IMDB page and tell me he is not a movie star. He has been working non stop since 1963. He is indeed a movie star...Just as much as Goldie is
ReplyDeleteAnon 7:34 - I initially thought the same thing, but concluded that if the husband was not an actor, the item would have said that, and not "non-movie star."
ReplyDeleteI agree with the thinking that Kurt Russell should be considered a movie star, esp. with Grindhouse out now, and I would not conider Golde Hawn a not so long ago A list actress, so I think it's probably not them.
Emma Thompson looks like a good guess, and Michelle Pfeiffer is also a good one, too, imo.
*consider. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 7:28 - We'll have to agree to disagree on this. A-list to me means she was in the same league as Julia Roberts, Reese Witherspoon, Gwyneth Paltrow, Judi Dench, Nicole Kidman, Halle Berry, etc. Goldie Hawn has never been on that level.
ReplyDeleteI also have to agree with others that Kurt Russell is a movie star, so that would disqualify her twice.
I'm throwing another name into the ring - Anjelica Huston.
The BV clearly says "husband" so again, that disqualifies Kurt and Goldie as they are not Husband and Wife, only life partners.
ReplyDeleteTwisted Sister - I agree with your definition of A list actresses, but just can't see Angelica Huston fitting in that group, especially in the recent past. I checked out her imdb profile, and it hasn't been very exciting for many years.
ReplyDeleteSB, you might be right about Huston going back too far. I just can't come up with anyone who fits all the parameters, so I'm reaching now...lol.
ReplyDeleteGoldie Hawn was once alist loooong ago.
ReplyDeleteBut since they aren't married...
Im stumped!
OH...see the Amanda now, Amanda...sorry!
ReplyDeleteQuite alright Mary Mac!
ReplyDelete;)
love the name, by the way. Sounds like the name of a sexy lady from a retro cookery show.
Angela Bassett-- been married exactly ten years to a man who is not a movie actor
ReplyDeleteAngela Bassett is a more realistic guess than most of the others. I think we can keep her on the list of suspects.
ReplyDeleteAgreed, twisted sister. I think the best guesses so far are Bassett, Pfeiffer and Emma Thompson. The "gentleman and lady of the house" line does make me lean towards Emma Thompson, who has been w/her husband since about 1995.
ReplyDeleteSB, the only problem I have with Emma is that 1) Greg Wise is an actor - some telly in the U.K., but also acts in movies, and 2) who wouldn't want to go to bed with him?
ReplyDeleteSorry, that was off topic.
OK, I'll buy that, though I would classify him as a non-movie star husband. Maybe I'm putting too much emphasis on "star"?
ReplyDelete(And staying off topic, I'd totally hit it, too.)
Twisted Sister, You are cracking me up. Some of these comments are so out there it reminds me of the SNL skit with Alex Trebec and the stupid answers that the Sean Connery guy gives to the simplest questions. LOL
ReplyDeletepfieffer is my guess as well. i would be really suprised about bassett. she and her husband are very religious.
ReplyDeleteAngela Bassett is married to movie and TV star Courtney B Vance, I dont think it is them.
ReplyDeleteAngela Bassett is married to Courtney Vance who is very much an actor. Ever watch Law and Order? He's been all over those shows and now has a permanent spot on one of them - CI I think.
ReplyDeleteSo it isn't her.
sb - I got dibs!
ReplyDeletedrcocks - yeah, only not that bright!
Alex - "Name a color that ends with the sounds *urple*."
Anonymous - "Light urple?"
ent made sure to hyphenate that non, which means the husband is a star, just not a moviestar.
ReplyDelete(so Courtney Vance sounds ok, since he isn't exactly known for his film roles...)
...what I'm thinking is that it might be a top A-list woman married to an athlete or music star, or television personality.
ent likes tricky clues that way.
-d
But Courtney has still done movies, and that disqualifies them.
ReplyDeleteMovie star means starred in a movies, right?
Jeez, folks.
p
plotterist - not sure i agree completely with that logic. if what you said held true, you would consider cindy crawford a movie star b/c of the one movie she was in. and i think most of us here would say no, she aint no movie star!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't call Cindy an A list movie star, but their are numerous types of movie stars, and she would fit as a star in a movie of very low value.
ReplyDeleteMovie star is a pretty bland term, for me at least. If we elevate it to mean A Lister Who Can Carry Any Film, then what do you call the rest?
Maybe you'd be more comfortable with movie actor? Well, Courtney Vance has played above the level of working stiff actor who we all see, know his face, but can't place him - which is what I'd call a movie actor, someone like Wade Williams.
Vance has done a lot of TV work which gives him name recognition in the many movies he also stars in.
"Liv Tyler anyone????"
ReplyDeleteShe's never been anywhere near the A list.
Its my girl Ripley: Sigourney Weaver.
ReplyDeleteTwisted Sister- sorry I didn't have time to go to IMDB like I usually do for Helen Mirren. I have a real job that requires work sometimes. Fuck off.
ReplyDelete6:03 AM Debrah Messing is a movie star, for instance she was the lead in The Wedding Date and was also in other films such as, Garfield, Along Came Polly and the Mothman Prophecies. So, before you display your ignorance on all things Debbie Messing, check out Imdb or google. TIA
ReplyDeleteI know also like Emma Thompson as another option.
be adequite - your class is showing dear. If you're so busy, don't leave lame posts here.
ReplyDeleteAllthsun, Messing is not an A-list movie star. A-list is Paltrow, Halle Berry, Kidman, etc.
Is there an echo in here?
YAWN...Whatever.
ReplyDeleteLike that one.....
ReplyDeleteWhatever. Any ideas on ZX? I can't decide if she's legit.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but Deb Messing has NEVER been a-list. I thought Emma Thompson was a very clever guess, and I could really see it with her.
ReplyDeleteMichelle Pfeiffer and David E Kelley having threesomes for tio years? Not so much. Emma Thompson is much naughtier :)

ReplyDeleteMost probably, this couple is English, not American.
