lovely- sarah jessicap parker? (lovely perfume)
ReplyDeletebut im thinking more like cameron diaz or sharlett johansson
it's not scarlett her career isn't what you would call fledgling, she has two movies coming out this year, and is about to star in two more. plus she has a bunch of prodjects lined up for the future.
ReplyDeletewhat about that chick from high school musical? her career could be called fledgling.
ReplyDeleteRenee Z (a la Down With Love)? I mean, c'mon, did you see how shitty she looked last week?!
ReplyDelete~mel
Elisha Cuthbert?
ReplyDeletefledgling means new and untried or inexperienced: so no not renee.
ReplyDeletewhat about hayden p or who was the girl advertising the vodka in a recent post, anna?
Ahhh, good call - I read it too fast. Well then, Renee just looks likes poo I guess.
ReplyDeleteHayden actually has been at it for awhile, but she is pretty darn young... And what's the "It's not just her friends who are worried" supposed to mean? Her manager? Mom? Entertainment Lawyer, perhaps? Why is that relevant? Just curious.
~mel
AIIIGHHH -- sometimes I just cringe at the ridiculous guesses ...
ReplyDeleteLOOK UP THE WORDS if you don't understand them.
Sarah Jessica Parker?? Cameron Diaz??? Scarlett?? "inexperienced" "just starting out" -- in WHAT FREAKIN UNIVERSE?????
Hayden P is a MUCH better guess. I don't agree about the High School Musical girl -- if people don't even know your NAME yet, they ain't "gossiping" about you.
I don't think Hayden P's career is floundering just yet. Elisha Cuthbert seems like a better guess, what's she done lately?
ReplyDeleteJessica Simpson? She seems to have lost some weight since her breakup with John Mayer.
ReplyDelete-Boo
kirsten dunst?
ReplyDeleteIf I hear one more guess about those fuckin nobodys from High School musical i will puke,there is no BI about those kids cuz no one cares but you...
ReplyDeleteEnt says "attracting more attention" which seems to suggest people have known of her dabbling but it may have become more noticeable.
ReplyDeleteAgree on the "her friends" comment - would this suggest a group of people who hang together socially or work together on a show?
Too many young blondes around for me to think clearly and isnt Elisha in Captivity which is causing a bit of stir?
No one said her career was floundering ... the BI says she's getting more attention for her drug use than her "fledgling career".
ReplyDeleteDon't think Simpson or Dunst are "fledglings" either.
Newbie, newbie, newbie -- pretty -- coke head. Can we just throw a dart at any hollywood party? Sheesh.
The girl who is the lead in the new movie Knocked Up and is also on Greys Anatomy.
ReplyDelete10:06...seriously, you can calm down, it's just a stab at a BI - we're not curing cancer here! Some folks are just trying to help I'm sure - please do not attack their vocab. Not everybody was harvard educated like *yourself*, to be sure.
ReplyDeleteDid you see how skinny Jessica Simpson is lately?
ReplyDeleteIt's Jennifer Aniston. Notorious pot head. That is what the "friends" comment is about. Plus, NY Daily News BIs are written to be very obvious.
ReplyDeletewhat about sienna miller?
ReplyDeleteFledgling career is Jennifer Aniston. She's pimping water for God's sake.
ReplyDeleteFledgling = just starting out.
ReplyDeleteNo way it's Jennifer Aniston.
Hayden P.'s career is just starting out on Heroes, plus she's known for her partying. I'm going with her.
Anon 9:47, I love the SJP guess. And the "lovely" ref makes sense. Her "friends" could refer to the cast and the "not just" could be referring to Matthew. although I dunno if he's has enough time to care about her since someone's prob balls deep in his tooter. (Ya know he's a bottom!) But she's not inexperienced or new on the scene.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Hilary Duff? Or Emma Roberts? Isn't she blonde? Or Amanda Bynes? Although she looks healthy enough.
Tracee
I'm guessing Charlize Theron
ReplyDeleteoh ah, what if it IS Jessica Simpson...her professional 'acting' career is fledgling for sure
ReplyDeleteAnd John Mayer gave that cryptic quote in Japanese saying she was "a lovely woman" to Ryan Seacrest at the AMAs..
yikes
Christina Applegate !
ReplyDeletefledg·ling–noun
ReplyDelete1. a young bird just fledged.
2. an inexperienced person.
–adjective 3. young, new, or inexperienced: a fledgling diver.
This is a young person at the beginning of her career.
This could be just about anybody....
ReplyDeleteI totally agree 10:45.
ReplyDelete~mel
Sorry to call you out anon 10:44am because you put alot of effort into it...
ReplyDeletebut the BI was using fledgling as an adjective
go back a re-read it!
All i did was cut and paste the dictionary definitions of the word fledgling, which is both a noun and an adjective...point being, it isn't someone with an established career...
ReplyDeletewhat about lisa kudrow "friends" comment makes me wonder....and what's she done ever? besides friends?
ReplyDeleteSorry to call you out anon 10:46 -- but you are an a$$.
ReplyDeleteRe-read THAT!
Hayden P. has been acting for an awfully long time to be considered a fledgling. It's been seven years since she was in Remember the Titans.
ReplyDeleteHA! Lisa Kudrow == I can even take the lame-o on here today.
ReplyDeleteYou have fledgling SPELLED out for you ... DEFINED even ... and you're still guessing actresses that were on TV shows for 10+ years, five years ago????????????????????
Just because of the word "friends" ... that's not even a focus of the item. It says MORE THAN JUST HER FRIENDS ARE WORRIED. We should be thinking of WHO ELSE is worried ... her family (maybe she's the daughter of someone famous, the SISTER of someone famous? Britney's sis?? Julia Roberts' niece?? -- both fledgling actresses BTW .. just like, say, um, KATE HUDSON, UMA THURMAN, JENNIFER ANISTON are NOT!!!!!!!!!)
-lovely= pretty
ReplyDelete-blond
-actress= not a singer
-attention= I'd assume press/gossip coverage
-more attention for drug use (partying)
-fledgling career= inexperienced because still learning or just starting (dictionary definition)
-not only friends that are worried
Hayden has been getting alot of attention for partying lately. I don't know if the actress is young, but fledgling career would make it seem someone who's career is just taking off.
Bindi Irwin?
ReplyDeleteDakota Fanning?
ReplyDeleteWhat about Haylie Duff?
ReplyDeleteAnon 11:01 that made me LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry. I lose my patience and just quit because some of you are so bent and determined to malign people you don't like that you want even listen to logic on the clues. If you can't afford a dictionary, go to dictionary.com. When you can read the clue fledgling career and suggest Cameron, Kirsten, Sarah JP, Jennifer, I'm out. Bye.
ReplyDelete10:58...you must be the other rabid poster from earlier.
ReplyDeleteJust a question - will it kill you if we guess incorrectly? I wasn't aware that this was life or death. I thought BIs were like games, to guess in fun and jest. Sorry if you're getting so irritated, might be time for you to lay off the caffeine a bit? ;o)
~mel
11:01 - That was hysterical.
ReplyDeleteNow THAT shit was hilarious!! Thank you 11:01! :)
ReplyDelete~mel
Here's a shot in the dark- what about Brooke Hogan. I know she's trying to be a singer, but I thought the reality show might put her in the "actress" category. She's bombing at having a Hollywood career- singing or acting. Her family is famous, hence the "not just her friends" comment. She gets ripped up on all the gossip sites, and is having family problems- so I could see her turning to coke.
ReplyDeleteOOOOOPS. It said "lovely", nevermind.
It must be Lindsey Lohan.
Parisss
You're all fucking retarded. All of you.
ReplyDeleteI work with the mentally retarded, and think that is a very offensive statement 11:13. That is as bad as being a racist. Please don't use that as an insult. You have no idea what you're talking about.
ReplyDelete11:13--- is that you Hez?! Welcome back!!!! We missed you.
ReplyDeletestill no proof that DS is really ZX.
ReplyDelete11:13 & 11:16
ReplyDeleteSame b-tch? I think so!!!
LOL 11:01 -that was awesome!
ReplyDeletesomebody's got a case of the Mondays
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's all that negative if people just get tired of reading bad guesses, but do what I do and just close the comments pop up, and ruminate on how your deductive reasoning skills are definitely better than average as you walk away from the computer.
ReplyDeleteBrooke Hogan's massive thighs lead convincing evidence that it is NOT her.
ReplyDeleteOk- I need more info on the High School musical kids. Who are they?
ReplyDeleteOk, the blind says she's an actress but there are many actresses who try other careers out like singing for example. SO my thought is that fledgling career may not be referring to her career as an actress but referring to something else she's trying out or new at. That being said, the Sarah Jessica Parker guess could work because although she's not new at acting, she is new with her perfume line Lovely. I'm now going to brace myself for the angry screaming posts respond to my reasoning...
ReplyDeleteI am still thinking it is Jessica Simpson. She may not be "new" to the entertainment industry, but she IS a new movie actress.
ReplyDeleteAnd with Employee of the Month bombing, John Mayer dumping her, and a new movie about to start filming, she may be hitting the white horse big time. Papa Joe would not approve.
-Boo
Robin,
ReplyDeleteSJP's "Lovely" scent launched in 2005. Perhaps you've missed the deluge of print ads in the last two years. Maybe you're thinking of her "Bitten" clothes line that JUST launched?
Anyway -- it ain't her.
But thanks for playing! I mean -- stop trying.
Robin- I see what you're saying, and it's a possibility. I don't agree with SJP neccessarily. What other blonde actresses are branching into other realms? Some one who's trying singing perhaps?
ReplyDeleteRobin, I agree with your "fledgling career" rationale, not your SJP pick.
ReplyDelete-Boo
What about Evan Rachel Wood? People are more caught up in her dating M.Manson than anyone's ever noticed her acting career. I know she's not new to acting, but she is young, and a few films under your belt doesn't make you a seasoned actress. She's blonde and pretty. And there's been alot of talk about MM talking to her dad about her NOT doing drugs like he does. Maybe the family is concerned, with good reson.
ReplyDeleteI really doubt Jessica Simpson. She's losing the weight for a movie role. She's had a few movies, and has gotten lots of attention for them. Even if they bombed. Plus is she an actress or singer?
ReplyDeleteAll of them.
ReplyDeleteevan rachel wood is a great guess. she's been around for awhile but her career is still at the stage where it could just die off easily.
ReplyDeletewill we ever see any proof that DS ias really ZX?
ReplyDeleteI like the Evan Rachel Wood guess. She's been in movies, but is still what I'd consider a fledgling!
ReplyDeleteEvan Rachel Wood is a effing great pick. She's skinny as shit and she has to take SOMETHING to get moist for the crypt keeper she's fucking. She's what I would describe "lovely" and her past few movies have been indy and cutting edge, Thirteen got a lot of attention. I like it!
ReplyDeleteTracee
Sandy Duncan
ReplyDeleteERW- Great guess 11:50!!!! Ent- can't you hint us on this one?
ReplyDelete11:01 was funny
ReplyDelete12:14 was lame
Brittany Murphy might be a good guess. Lovely and blond, got attention for her carreer a few years ago (Girl Interrupted, 8 Miles, Sin City) but it's fledgling.
ReplyDeleteHowever, there's no reference to the new husband.
12:25- BM (unfortunate initials)hasn't been blonde in awhile. She's been a brunette for at least the last year. I don't think sh'e fledgling either. She's done multiple, multiple movies, tv voiceover work. She's not branching out into anything new right now either. No way!But she could be a big old coke head! I'll give you that!
ReplyDeleteWhy is everyone so eager to dismiss Hayden P?? To me it seems like the most obvious guess, but maybe that's why people don't want to believe it. The NY Daily News items are never THAT tricky... This isn't Ted C. and it's not going to be someone from way out of left field like Jessica Simpson or SJP (WTF?!?!?!)
ReplyDeleteJessica s
ReplyDeleteAgain, Hayden has actually been an actor since she was a wee lass. Also, the Crypt Keeper (as he's so elegantly called here) is known for his coke habit...there is some merit to it.
ReplyDeleteJessica Simpson has nothing fledling about her or her career. You can want it to be her all you want, but saying it over and over won't make it the answer! But thank you for playing the blind guess-whatever-first-thought-you-have item game!
ReplyDeleteHayden started acting on One Life to live in 1994. She has 39 entries in IMDb since then. She was regularly on Malcolm in the Middle, Ally McBeal, Guiding Light and One Life to Live, and of course Heroes. I don't consider that a new career. She only has one item in post-production
ReplyDeleteRachel Evan Wood also started in 94. She has 31 entries. She did nothiing in 2004. Most of the beginning parts were bit parts. She does have 5 projects either in production or just finished. That is more than she's ever done in the past. I think this is a little more "fledgling".
This is all from IMDb.
Fledgling career ENT..... please elaborate a bit on what this means!
ReplyDelete12:45...you are not cool! What is your guess, brainiac?
ReplyDeleteit must be someone really thin suddenly...put in perspective of course. ALOT of actresses are really really thin...
ReplyDeletebut someone who has dropped some serious lbs lately
The only reason I didn't say Hayden is because she's a popular guess for many of the BIs. But also because she was on shows like Ally McBeal back in the day.
ReplyDeleteI like Rachel Wood because she's getting a lot of attention b/c of who she's dating, not what she stars in, like Hayden. Also, did anyone see Thriteen? She played drug addicted/self-cutter teen very well...before Lohan played one in real life. Haaaaaahaaaaaa! *Ahem*
Tracee
I love how easily irritated (cough) SOME people get here...hehehe
ReplyDeleteI don't want to point any fingers but Bea Arthur looked tweaked at last night's canasta game.
ReplyDeleteBea Arthur is still ALIVE?! Shit, I'd drink with that bitch, I bet she has some stories that will make ME wet my pants.
ReplyDeleteTell me 3:01, was she on the moonshine or was she drinking the brewskies? Lastly, did she go bust?
LOL!!!
Tracee
It must be Posh. "One more line ought to do it........... "
ReplyDelete3:01, Bea needs to check herself before she wrecks herself.
ReplyDeleteI heard she got caught giving a beej to the Piv in the men's room at Hyde.
Slut!
I'm gonna go with Elisha Cuthbert. Her films have mostly been indie and she hasn't had a box office hit. Also, she hangs out with Paris Hilton, who obviously does drugs.
ReplyDeleteHayden looks like the opposite of a coke head...
ReplyDeleteshe certainly is not at all coke skinny, she has better skin than J Lo and is pleasantly perky and refreshingly upbeat and fun but not in a cokey way...
I am aware that she parties, but if it was to the point that the blind suggests she would look a little more like road kill, non?
did you notice that jessica simpson has lost about 18 pounds in a matter of about 2 weeks????
She's new at the movie acting...
remember Ted's blind about the husband who offered his wife coke as a diet plan and she got horribly addicted and needed help... maybe it was her as the Ted blind was before her and nick split up... maybe it was her and she's back to her old ways...
just a guess, so dont assasinate me you PMS-ing bitch wherever you are...
Kate Bosworth???
ReplyDeleteHayden was guessed on "that other bi site" as the underager that was hitting the clubs.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually giving imput (pats on the selfs back...oucchhh)
Midwest Surfer
Jenna Jameson?
ReplyDeletesjp - fledgling could be refering to her 'new' perfume career.
ReplyDeleteJesus H. Tapdancing Christ!! You people are fucking stupid!!
ReplyDeleteFledgling = new or newborn
Flailing/floundering = rocky and/or failing.
Almost all the people guessed here are showbiz veterans, including Hayden, who's been acting for at least 10 years.
Now think of some skinny bitch new to TV/films that you MIGHT know.
The Golden Girls
ReplyDeleteclearly its Jessica. Her "movie career" (if you could call it that), has so far failed miserably (along with her music career, which is non existant). I wouldnt be surprised, given her break up and the fact that her sister gets her artistic attention than her.
ReplyDeletejess is a stupid blond twat.
Got it. Sienna Miller. She's only been acting since 2001. Her first big hit was in 2004. I'd consider that a little more "fledgling" than Hayden or ERW. I think the guess that it's an established actress who's branching off into a new venue, and is failing at it would be more of a possibility if "fledgling" wasn't the only real hint. "Lovely" sounds sort of English, and although SM was born in the US, she was raised in the UK. So that's my final guess. Besides she's notoriously known as being a coke fiend. I'm betting the production companies that hire her/director's she works for are a little nervous for her.
ReplyDeleteAmy Smart was in Just Friends with Ryan Reynolds.
ReplyDelete"fledgeling" means newcomer, newbie,starter, neophyte, freshman, young and inexperienced;
ReplyDeleteMy guess is Emma Roberts
Evan Rachel Wood=Not lovely.
ReplyDeleteI say it's Emma Roberts.
I think "it's not just her friends" refers to her family, as in Julia Roberts.
IMHO
PLUS I thkn this is a hint...
ReplyDelete"The newest addition to the Roberts/Moder clan has arrived. (Just in time to see Nancy Drew - coincidence?)"
it says fledgling career, not fledgling actress, the discriptor doesn't necessarily mean the actress is not well known or whatever. It could mean an actress who's career is in a slump right now.
ReplyDeleteIm on with the Jennifer Aniston guess... I like the "it's not just her friends who are worried" line.
PS: don't freaking blow a gasket if you don't like my guess. It's just a guess. People need to chill out on here! It's a blog!
ReplyDeleteNicole--"Fledgling career" as a shill for SmartWater? Could be, could be.
ReplyDeleteShe's got to keep her weight down somehow...she's not naturally thin.
1:31 - definately, the NY Daily blinds are usually really obvious, and I think that the answer is staring us in the face with the "friends" line, because the rest of the BI is pretty vague. I mean, there are alot of actresses that are blonde with slumping careers... who knows!
