    Ahhh, good call - I read it too fast. Well then, Renee just looks likes poo I guess.

    Hayden 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.

    AIIIGHHH -- sometimes I just cringe at the ridiculous guesses ...

    LOOK 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.

  13. Ent says "attracting more attention" which seems to suggest people have known of her dabbling but it may have become more noticeable.

    Agree 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".

    Don't think Simpson or Dunst are "fledglings" either.

    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.

    What about Hilary Duff? Or Emma Roberts? Isn't she blonde? Or Amanda Bynes? Although she looks healthy enough.

    HA! Lisa Kudrow == I can even take the lame-o on here today.

    You 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
    -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.

    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.

    OOOOOPS. It said "lovely", nevermind.

    It must be Lindsey Lohan.

    Ok, 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...

    I am still thinking it is Jessica Simpson. She may not be "new" to the entertainment industry, but she IS a new movie actress.

    And 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.

    SJP'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?

    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.

    Hayden 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

    Rachel 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.

    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.

    I 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*

    Hayden looks like the opposite of a coke head...
    she 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...

    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.
