Ted C. Blind Item

Pricey Dicey is a mucho gifted performer, everyone agrees on that. The Emmys adore him and occasionally show that fact, come fall. TV fans just go on about the sorta-cutie dude every time they blog, cheer ‘n’ gab about him, which is often. This helps P.D.’s latest boob-tube project, which is a bit o’ a gamble for the network currently employing Dicey’s always amusing talents.

Are these check-doling TV suits aware Pricey likes the boys, not the girls? Of course they are. People aren’t dumb in this town, they’re just stupid, know what I mean? Like, come on, these network ninnies actually expect Pricey to be discreet and keep his peter-on-peter ways in private? If they only knew. ‘Cause here’s what P.D. lives to partake in from time to time, whenever he gets the he-man hankering:

He gets his horned-up snake on a plane, flies it to a medium-size midwestern town, checks into a nondescript old hotel near a truck stop, which is next to a stripper joint, which is next to a dirty-movie arcade—see where we’re goin’ here? Yep, you guessed it: The “straight” truckers hit the girlie joint, get all worked up, and then stop on over to the arcade to utilize one of the many glory holes, behind one of which Pricey always parks himself. After all, it’s always anonymous, right?

Wrong. See, some of those holes are—like Hollywood egos—bigger than others. And while Mr. Dicey was doin’ the deed one time recently, the recipient stuck his eyeball right at the cutout opening and grunted, “Hey, aren’t you on TV?”

“Oh, no,” blurted P.D., before promptly going back to work and finishing off the job—an impending orgasm is such a reliable tool for getting a guy’s mind off what you’d prefer him not to be thinking about, don’t you agree?

Pricey hasn’t been back to his salacious stomping ground since. But we’re sure that’s merely a temporary situation, much like Lindsay Lohan’s nascent sainthood.

    I've been reading Ted's column for two-three years now and...honestly I'm getting soooooooooo tired of wading through his convoluted hot-air snark, just to read about some actor in the closet (again). I mean I shouldnt have to feel as though I need an Egyptologist well versed in heiroglyphics by my side every time I just want to have a nice little read. Im a writer, myself, and I read constantly, so I know its not an issue of my intelligence. Its an issue of him holding on to his ridiculous style because it covers up the fact that he doesnt seem to have anything new to talk about....what would be a mere sentence or two blind item, is suddenly the length of a colum.

    Egads.

  2. wow! great story...poorly written. i have no idea who this is.......

  3. I totally agree with you Trix, does Ted every do any blinds that don't involve the fact that someone is gay?

  4. Drew Carrey - "Price is Right"

    or
    David Spade
    Kelsey Grammar
    Brad Garret

  5. I don't know maybe Kesley Grammer? He is always winning Emmys and has a new show on Fox?

    ReplyDelete
  6. Hmmm I like the Drew Carey, and isn't he from the mid west? He likes Strippers too....Hmmm

    ReplyDelete
  7. Hey, I'd rather have his endless gay blind items than those other recent ones that veered into toilet territory.

    Kelsey Grammar has such a distinctive voice, though (and he can never "act" his way out of it if you've ever seen him in a movie), and didn't he recently just have a baby? The "oh no" rebuttal would have confirmed it was him.

    I think we're looking at someone who is unattached. Also I don't think Kelsey Grammar has ever been described as "sorta cute".

    ReplyDelete
  9. Drew Carey is from Ohio, but he's never even been nominated for an Emmy.

    ReplyDelete
  10. seacrest produces the red carpet pre-shows for E. they took a chance with him producing ".........Kardashians". he has been nominated many times, won 1 emmy. i thought of him because the BI does not say singer or actor but "gifted performer". he hosts a lot of tv specials.

    ReplyDelete
  11. And neither has David Spade, Drew Carey, Kelsey Grammer, or Brad Garret. Sorta cutie to moi would be someone slightly hideous like The Piv or something...but he doesn't really get good PR from the 'loids.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I don't think it's Seacrest, Cap, because everyone on planet earth knows he's gay, plus Ted HATES him and would never refer to him as mucho talented.

    ReplyDelete
  13. But wait, didn't Drew recently admit to how kinky he was? Perhaps this is just all part of his sexual kicks?

    ReplyDelete
  14. I think Drew probably is kinky, but he's never been nominated for an Emmy, which I think discounts him.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Kelsey Grammer is a five time Emmy winner and nominated several more times

    ReplyDelete
  16. James Spader? He's very talented and was nominated for leading male actor for Boston Legal in 2007...

    ReplyDelete
  17. twis - yes we know he's gay but we didn't know about the truck stop hole action...gay or straight that's nasty. wasn't seacrest a working boy when merv "discovered" him?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Seacrest isn't "mucho gifted". He's a host.

    I'm starting to like my James Spader guess...Casablanca sometimes uses monikers that have initials in them...sP(pricey)aD(dicey)r....

    Also, Kelsey Gramer isn't a "sorta-cutie dude", at least in my opinion. Spader is cute in mischevious kind of way.

    Am I the only one who thinks it could be him?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Nope, I think James Spader is totally hot, actually. But does he really get talked about all that often? Just devil's advocate...

    ReplyDelete
  20. James Spader used to be cutie, now he's kind of fat. Although he probably is gay.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Cap, I think he was a radio d.j. when Merv discovered him for television. But honestly, Ted hates Ryan. He'd never call him mucho talented.

    Spader isn't gay.

    ReplyDelete
  22. i am not a seacrest fan. he hosts and produces a lot of shows/specials on three networks from rockin'eve to idol(and all of those E shows). many of the higher ups think he's mucho gifted or he wouldn't be making a fortune.

    ReplyDelete
  23. how do we know Spader isn't gay?

    I think Spader would be a cool gay man. If I was a gay man, I'd do him.

    ReplyDelete
  24. he fits the hint at the end of the first paragraph."keeping up with the kardashians" anyone else think it's an odd career choice for him to produce that mess?

    ReplyDelete
  25. Anonymous10:14 AM

    Hmmm I dont know if Drew Carey or Kelsey Grammar have projects out right now that could be considered "boob tube project" thats "sorta a gamble"...do they? Boob tube makes it sound like its a little more superficial than The Price is Right or that god awful show Grammar has right now.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Ted C. rocks he's influenced a new generation of gossip bloggers like Lainey, Perez and Micheal of DListed you heffas need to bow down to the king of the twisted phrase!

    That said I have no damn idea who the blind item is!

    ReplyDelete
  27. I so just got another clue. If you go onto the e!online homepage (www.eonline.com) It says the word "funnyman" in relation to Ted's BI - Which Hollywood funnyman.

    So we are looking for a comedian here people, which would put weight to the Drew Carey thing.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Ted says "and it ain't" Brad Garrett, Taye Diggs or Alec Baldwin.

    Brad is on Fox, Taye is on ABC, Alec is on NBC, so maybe Pricey Dicey is on CBS. Which Carey's Power of 10 is.

    Boston Legal isn't "a bit o' a gamble," so I doubt it's Spader.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I'm from Cleveland. I have met Drew Carey. He is very much Hetero. He loves women. He loves beautiful women. He loves scantily clad women. He loves to pay women to be more scantily clad :) He just got engaged in the last few months.
    I have met him more than once, and he is not at all into men.

    ReplyDelete
  30. So how do the Emmy's adore Drew if he's never been nominated?

    ReplyDelete
  31. I would think it's got to be someone who isn't easily recognized in the Midwest. And I have no idea.

    Someone figure this out. I'll be untangling Christmas lights.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I'm getting tired of Ted C. You know he is going to drag out this Toothy Tile thing as long as he possibly can!

    My vote is for Kelsey Grammer.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Ryan Seacrest isn't a performer. It has to be an actor.

    ReplyDelete
  34. T R Knight!

    Ok, kidding, but after going through this year's Emmy noms, the list is very short as to who this can be.

    Funnyman? It leans toward Jeremy Piven because I stand alone when I say that Jew is hot.

    James Spader is not gay from what I know back when I had friends who knew his family of 100 children.

    No one else who is nominated really is in the blogs or is sorta cute. JS was hot so 25 years ago in Less Than Zero, one of my faves.

    ReplyDelete
  35. What about emmy noms from the last couple of years?

    ReplyDelete
  36. oh and I present exhibit A as evidence of an upcoming project:

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0492389/

    ReplyDelete
  37. TS- Drew is from Parma, about 10 minutes from where I grew up. He was a frequent strip bar client. And he is a great guy. If he was gay, he'd admit it. He is very open. I did double check, and he has nothing in regards to Emmy's. No nominations. No nothing. I really don't think it is him. And he did just get engaged. It saysPricey likes boys NOT girls... It doesn't even say boys AND girls.

    ReplyDelete
  38. guess #2...tony shalhoub, he has 2 other projects going and he's from the midwest

    ReplyDelete
  39. Exactly, Parisss, that's why I keep saying it can't be Drew. It has to be someone with at least two Emmy nominations and possibly some wins.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Oh! Gotcha! I thought you were asking what other way the Emmy's could "love" him.
    He's such a great guy though. Really a sweetheart.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Peter Krause was on Six Feet Under and his newest endeavor is Dirty Sexy Money. Doesn't appear to be married, but imdb references a son. Has also produced. Is from the midwest and has been nominated for 3 emmy's.

    I also like the 'peter to peter' reference. Ted doesn't usually use that word. Plus, if you google 'Peter Krause gay', you do get some interesting things that pop up.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I'm gonna throw Howie Mandel's name out there, even though I'm EXTREMELY skeptical it's him b/c of his OCD/germ phobia.

    He's a funnyman:
    - Started out & is very well known as a stand-up
    - Everyone loves him

    He's been nominated for/won Emmy's for:
    - St. Elsewhere (won)
    - Bobby's World

    His "latest boob-tube project" that's a gamble:
    - Deal or No Deal, on NBC (where contestants gamble on which suitcase to choose)

    He's a regular on TV talk shows, often on Tonight Show (got this from NBC bio)

    I just cannot imagine it's him, but after doing a tiny bit of research into network shows involving Emmy winning/nominated comedians, he's the best fit.

    I doubt it's him b/c he won't even shake someone's hand, it's hard to believe he'd engage in the type of conduct described in the blind item.

    ReplyDelete
  43. NOOOO not Peter Krause. I have an inappropriate crush on him!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Yellow Rose - well done! He would be absolultely PERFECT, but I think you're right that his germ phobia may rule him out.

    Gammagirl - sorry! I'll keep looking.....lol.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Howie won't touch the contestants. Watch his show. If he won't shake hands... I think glory holes are a little out of his comfort zone! Ha!! That would be funny though. He kindof creeps me out.

    ReplyDelete
  46. i can see shalhoub being a freaky little monkey. he's packer fan and has season tickets. great excuse to be in the midwest area w/o wifey.( yes i know there's a good packer pun somewhere)

    ReplyDelete
  47. I ditto parisss...Howie a germo-phone. No way he's doing truck stop BJs. I liked the Drew Carey guess, but the Emmy thing is the "off" part. But Pricey = Price is Right? He also has a video project right now for the reason Foundation, which, since they are politically-oriented and on controversial subjects, could be risky for the network. It doesn't say the network is emplying him ON the boob-tube project, just that it's risky. Anyways, gay or not, Drew totally rocks.

    ReplyDelete
  48. This has nothing to do with anything, but my colleague just showed me the FUNNIEST website...

    http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/environment/people-who-know-how-to-f*cking-park-on-brink-of-extinction-20070912397/

    I am laughing so hard at these articles that I have tears in my eyes....

    ReplyDelete
  49. How about Emmy hosts, not necessarily nominees/winners? Didn't Seacrest host this year?

    ReplyDelete
  50. I think Ted C. is full of baloney half the time which is why my guess is Jon Stewart

    ReplyDelete
  51. David Spade? Just shoot me.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Okay - Wild Guess: Brad Garrett

    a) THREE time Emmy winner for supporting actor on a COMEDY series

    b) he has a higher-pitched natural voice (not the deep manly voice he has on TV)

    c) can be classified as a "sorta cutie"

    d) His "new" thing on TV could be Til Death

    The only thing off is that he's married...but then aren't a lot of 'mo's in Hollywood?

    ReplyDelete
  53. Oh, oops. Brad's not married anymore.

    Isn't that convinient...

    ReplyDelete
  54. Its definitely Seacrest.

    He hosted the emmy's; it says performer instead of 'actor, singer' also this line

    This helps P.D.’s latest boob-tube project, which is a bit o’ a gamble for the network currently employing Dicey’s always amusing talents.


    Meaning, the Kardashian thing is a bit of a gabmel for the network (E), currently employing his amusing talents (hosting E).

    I agree 100% w/ oklahoma hippy - PD = Patrick Dempsey. I'm going with him not just bcs of the initials, but bcs Lainey's been dropping major hints about his sexuality and his wife looking the other way.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Matthew Perry is an Emmy nominee...

    ReplyDelete
  57. I would say Drew because Ted mentioned the tv execs doled out big bucks and took a risk with him...when he took over the Price is Right?!?!? He's lovable and not an "actor" but a "talented performer."

    ReplyDelete
  58. What about....Hugh Jackman?

    project which is a gamble or gambling project=Viva Laughlin

    gifted performer=actor, Tony's host, actor in musicals

    Emmys=2 nominations and one win

    However, if you've seen those shots on the beach, you know he's not just a "sorta-cutie" and they'd recognize him from TV rather than movies(although he's on the Tony's and that Kate and Leopold is ALWAYS on)

    What do you think?

    ReplyDelete
  59. PS. The alimony's hasn't shown up yet this month!!!! Don't make me go all Denise Richards on you!!!
