This actor used to be A-list in the mid 90's but is now a straight to video kind of guy. Why you ask? Well it seems he likes taking projects that are international, and especially in Eastern European countries. The reason for this is so he and his current wife can enjoy the affections of VERY young girls who can be bought for a night in these countries.
Swimming with dolphins is not the only thing this actress did recently. Seems to be that she likes X, and when she takes it, she finds a few suitable companions and enjoys the drug and other activities that occur in hotel rooms with other consenting adults.
A friend of someone mentioned earlier today has been acting like a diva despite the fact it has been years since she could even pretend to be such. Banned from her health club for wanting to work out alone and to bring in her dog, this pseudo diva has also been trying to convince friends she has a relationship with a well known singer despite the fact that no one believes a word of it.

What music producer’s wife is afraid of having her secret life with women revealed?
(Kimora Simmons)
December 14, 2006
#1------So imagine if you will a 4-story walk up (for those of you not familiar with the term, think a building with 3 apartments and you have to "walk up" to get to the upper floors) in NYC that is in need of a little repair but that has become the home of celebrities within the three units in the building.
One of the neighbors is a celebrity couple with a new baby. The wife has a brother who is an actor who is friends with a bicyclist who is friends with an actor who loves hanging out shirtless.
Seriously, you should have that part by now.
So anyway, a new celebrity moves into the building. An A-lister as both a producer and actress. This new neighbor wants everyone to call her "Chris." NEVER call her by her real name. There is no such person who lives in the building. The new neighbor is just a normal person named "Chris." Look past the fact that most normal people do not have an assistant living with them 24 hours a day constantly reminding people that only "Chris" lives there. I guess you could look past the fact that the actress sits on her front steps outside typing away on her laptop, smoking, chatting with passerby, but is just "Chris" when she goes back inside.
Actual situation and conversation–
There is a play date with a neighbor and the celebrity couple who live on the 4th floor. Neighbor has a huge stroller and does not want to carry it up four flights of stairs. Knock on door of the first floor apartment of our reclusive celebrity.
Assistant answers the door -
"Excuse me, is there anyway I can leave this stroller down here in the foyer. As you can see it is heavy and I am already carrying this 2 year old. So would you ask _______ if it is ok?"
The assistant replies, "there is no one who lives here by that name. Chris is the person who lives here and would have to make that decision. You will have to ask Chris."
"May I please ask her then?" asked the woman carrying the now screaming 2 year old.
"Chris is not here right now, and I do not know when she will be back."
With that the door slams shut, and our neighbor left the stroller downstairs anyway. Good for her.

#2-----------What married female pop star keeps coming back to her same basic hairstyle, look, and appearance because when she changes it, her husband wanders off to find a transsexual who has that look?
(Gwen Stefani)
December 15, 2006
#1------What B+ actor who has worked with the brother of our celebrity couple yesterday has a thing for women that look exactly like his sister? When this actor is with his sister or his girlfriend no one can tell the difference at least from the front. Several people have mentioned that the actor’s sister has a little more back. Is that why the girlfriend has been putting on weight?
(Heath Ledger)
#2-------This actress/ mother in her 30's has always worked as an actress since her arrival in Hollywood. A bit part here and a bit part here, until while working for a notorious Hollywood madam she ran into a big spending, playboy/actor/trick who just could not get enough of her. He changed her life and got her more work allowing her to rise to a comfortable B Lister.
(Denise Richards)
#3--------This A list actor and producer loves filming movies outside the US. The reason? He does not like the labor laws in the US. For his latest movie, he made all the extras including the children work for up to 19 hours straight often without any type of meal breaks. If anyone complained, they were fired, sent home without the money they had been promised, and replaced with someone else not as picky about food and working conditions.
(Mel Gibson)
#4---------This actor/actress couple are both solid B listers. They have flirted with the A list in the past, especially her. What makes this relationship so unique is their very special arrangement. They are the perfect couple in front of the cameras. However, when the cameras are off, he goes on his merry way to find his man of the week with her blessing. Her joys include shopping and more shopping. Men and sex are not at the top of the list.
(This is the one that I decided against revealing)

This married A++ actress was attached to do a movie but wanted a certain actor to play opposite her. The actor was not interested but our actress thought she could convince him and the studio believed her. The studio chartered a jet and our actress flew 11 hours one way and 12 hours on the return flight. All of this travel for about six hours of alone time with the actor who still did not want to do the movie but had a great deal of fun doing something else. The actress returned home, broke the sad news to the studio, broke off her own involvement in the project and ultimately cost the studio a great deal of money but it was her satisfaction that was most important and so they still do business together.
(Julia Roberts)
December 29, 2006
This actor has always had a hard time remaining faithful. He has really made a name for himself and in the last 5 years has become if not A list then very close. I am sure he has Wheaties for breakfast. Anyway, the relationship he never had but maybe did have with a woman who was married and that ended because of the relationship they never had by maybe did have is already over. On the set of his new movie he has found lust/love with this stunt woman turned actress. Lots of spies trying to get a photo but no luck so far.
(Owen Wilson)
Did I do a blind item about Rose McGowan being a coke whore? I really need to check. If she is, then she is the sweetest coke whore around. Really, most of the time coke whores are unpleasant to be around. I really find Rose to be wonderful despite her one very bad choice in a boyfriend.
I did not really want to link to another story about Lindsay. I just happened to see this photo of Lindsay and her biological mother. When I first saw it, I said to myself that it either looks like Dina is trying to steal money from Lindsay's pocket, steal something else from Lindsay's pocket, or putting a little something in the pocket to make the night seem more fun.
On a side note to the article above. Please note the article on the right side of the page which talks about Bjork's new album. One of the few singers who give me the shivers when she performs live.

I believe I told everyone yesterday that Britney Spears was not pregnant, and now her publicist (yes, they lie often) has confirmed the fact that she is not pregnant. For those of you who think I never say a bad word about her, let me say that I am not 100% convinced about the peanut butter/vomit thing. That was a ton of peanut butter. I am going to stick with vomit on that one.
I may be waaaaay out on a limb here, but regardless of what the National Enquirer says, I do NOT think Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo are getting married anytime soon, let alone the spring. In fact, I am going to go the opposite direction and say they are more likely to break up than get married. The reason this story really stinks is that he has allegedly popped the question. Vanessa was in front of the world Monday night which would have been a great time to show off a new ring. Nothing, nada, zilch.
"Hi, my name is Pete Doherty and I sling the best B.S. in the world. I live off the earnings of a famous fashion model. I am a barely adequate singer and I do a tremendous amount of drugs. I have been arrested countless times for drugs in the past year, but a judge today told me I was doing a great job trying to get clean."
So, you are getting divorced from the man you thought you would be with forever. You were so confident of your love that you allowed JC Penney to use your wedding photos for their new ad campaign. Now, you will be forced to see your wedding day over and over again on television and billboards and newspapers. You will also be further shamed because JC Penney were the only takers for the pics. On a personal note, Emilie looked crushed on Monday night.
The following story should remind everyone of a few things. #1 is that with the exception of Lindsay it is a pretty slow gossip day which is why I am going to link to a Teri Hatcher story. #2 is that her new boyfriend is one ugly dude. #3 is that the ugly dude once dated Eva Longoria showing everyone that she has in fact dated every guy in Hollywood who asked her out, and some that didn't. BTW for an ugly guy dressed like a cat burglar he does not look too happy about being with Teri.

I am glad she is headed to rehab, because, honestly, her current guy was just the end. I have never heard one nice word said about him.
Here is the US Magazine link about her entering rehab and here is the TMZ story.
Here are the two blind items
January 3, 2007
So this starlet who has been mentioned everywhere had a little drink Sunday night or was it two or three? Seems she got rejected by an ex in a VERY public way and proceeded to drink the night away and came on to any guy who headed her way. Except for one.
(Lindsay Lohan/Wilmer Valderrama(ex)/K-Fed)
December 8, 2006
Developing---This female star has been spiraling out of control over the past several weeks and has been the subject of numerous internet gossip sites. She is currently being persuaded by those close to her to enter rehab within the next week. There is even a chance it could be this weekend. Her friends and family are extremely concerned that if something is not done now it may be too late. Going into rehab now would allow for a fresh start for the new year and to get her life back on track.
(Lindsay Lohan--From what I understand, her father was the one who wanted her to go to rehab and she was wavering, but she used her AA as an excuse and also the fact she did not want to be in rehab during Christmas. She promised everyone she would not drink, and that if she did, she would go right in.)
This singer is out of his mind. His model girlfriend was not beautiful enough for him or he thought he could do better. Somehow he thought his aging, one hit wonder self could get him someone better. What he got was a lesson in how the grass is not always greener on the other side. After bedding a series of 18 year old girls and acting like the wannabe rock star he thinks he is, his ex was seen in public with a collection of men befitting her beauty. Our singer broke and is begging for her to take him back. So far she just keeps laughing at him.
Seeing this actress and her complexion Monday night reminded me that she had to miss the world premiere of a movie and almost another because her face had turned into one big zit.
Now, one to make you actually think
Yesterday I told you about the married actor getting the phone number of a lovely young thing after his wife thought she had stopped him cold. Well, getting numbers to someone who is not your significant other is easy. Getting the numbers while your significant other is in the room is much harder and doing what this NEXT actor did is the toughest of all.
A few weeks ago, this actor was at a party with his award winning actress wife of a few years. Also at the party was his former girlfriend and co-star now married but solo that night. The two have remained close. Throughout the night our actor and his ex flirted outrageously. Enough so, that the notoriously jealous wife really wanted to leave. Our actor sweet talked his wife like a poet and said there was nothing to worry about. He was just friends with his ex. Twenty minutes later another guest at the party opened a locked bathroom door that had not been completely shut and found our actor and his ex with certain parts exposed. The intruder apologized and left and proceeded to tell all at the party what they had seen. Most couples caught in the act would end it right there. However, our actor continued on until completion. After emerging from the bathroom tryst, our actor was a model husband and never left his wife's side. If she knows, she is not telling.
So, with that lead in you would think that I am going to talk about some new celebrity couple or how Justin and Cameron avoided each other at the Globes. Nope, there is only one thing on my mind and it is the All-Star Amazing Race because Cha-Cha-Cha is coming back. Those Prada loving gays who always put shopping before the race itself are coming back in addition to 10 other teams from various seasons. The only other returning team that I like are Kevin and Drew the two bald headed guys from the first season. When this race was first announced I had a bunch of teams I wanted to see but I guess Mr. Bruckheimer did not see it the same way I did.
Most of the time when someone says there is a sex tape. It is all a bunch of crap. However, when Lindsay Lohan and her new convicted, underage sex peddling boyfriend Joe Francis get done shacking up, I would expect nothing less than several sex tapes featuring Lindsay Lohan with her new, convicted, underage sex peddling boyfriend, or one of the fifty thousand other t-shirt lifting girls he can convince to come back to his place which will be released over the next several years. Each tape will either be sold separately or with a t-shirt captioned "Can you believe Lindsay went out with me knowing what I do for a living?"
MSNBC is reporting that Britney Spears is pregnant again. They are wrong. Hopefully that means they are wrong about Man-hands cooking a homemade Mexican meal for Stavros. Can you actually see Paris Hilton in a kitchen cooking something that is designed for eating? What she did was hire a cook and had the cook make it at Paris' home. ergo, homemade cooking. Either way I do not want to eat anything made at her house. Seriously.
Mark Philippoussis is an Australian tennis player(aka The Scud). He is about to pull of the American Pie double. What exactly is that you ask? Well he has hooked up with Tara Reid in the past and now is all over Shannon Elizabeth. Now, with Tara and Shannon both in Australia at the same time, the true feat would be the American Pie sandwich.
You know you have had one too many to drink, when Pete Doherty looks more sober than you. Kate Moss is setting an excellent example for her boyfriend and her kid. Happy Birthday Kate!!
Jennifer Garner rants about Britney and Paris not wearing any panties. Well, if she is looking for some, it looked like she was making Ben wear them the other night.
Bai Ling does not care who she has sex with or what gender they are. That is a real shocker. Just look at some of the people she has gone out with lately. Now she gets the chance to bring her unique set of skills to the set of Lost. Judging by what I saw the other night, they could use a little pick me up.
It has been awhile since I last linked to celebrity.org.au but unlike myself, they can actually write well. In addition to some scathing fashion police type writing about the Golden Globes, they also have the Paris Hilton celebrity quiz which is too cool.
Michael Jackson wants to sell his ranch to the aliens.

What former A list television actor kept telling his wife that he would be right back at each of the parties they attended last night? This actor best known for television, but now doing movies was selling himself throughout the night. At one point, this very young actress took the bait. He could not stop getting close to the lovely lady and thought he was fooling everyone. Well his wife had enough and tapped him on the shoulder as he was leaning in real close. Shocked and embarassed, it did not stop him or his new girl from getting her phone number.
I went to the Moet after party and to the In Style party. On a side note I heard that Paris Hilton and Vanessa Minnilo were all over each other at the Weinstein party and so I am thinking there is something going on in regards to Nick. Also, that as good as Vanessa looked earlier, is as bad as she looked later.
Moet party--observations - very calm party. Lots of Old Hollywood and traditional Hollywood.
Alec Baldwin moving from one lady to the next.
Jay-Z being goaded into taking photos with Jennifer Hudson.
EL the Housewife looking for anyone famous to get her picture taken with.
Cameron Diaz getting pointed out and not in a good way most of the night.
Hayden P getting hit on even more. Wives and girlfriends coming over to drag their significant others away.
Siena Miller NOT talking about her sex scene, but all over several different guys. Perhaps looking to recreate it later in the evening.
The following guys could have taken home almost anyone from the party
Sacha Baron Cohen
Josh Holloway
Rainn Wilson (I know, but the ladies loved him)
Jennifer Love Hewitt acted as if she and her boyfriend were on a first date
Only 3 or 4 guys had bimbo dates.
Tossup between Leonardo Dicaprio and John Stamos for who had the worst time.
In Style Party
Cameron Diaz following Leonardo around.
EL, the Housewife looking for someone famous to be with. Had to settle for castmates. Kept making lots of noise to get photographers attention.
John Stamos turned around when he found out his ex was inside
I love Mary Kate Olsen and realize I am one of the few. However, she looked like the little girl in the movie The Others and I really do not think I am going to sleep well tonight.
2nd kindness at the party
Chris Klein looking lost and for someone famous to be photographed with.
Jamie Foxx following Jessica Biel from one party to the next.
"crack" was there and a jackass
There are some pictures of yours truly that I saw on the web from that party.
Ashley Olsen looked good and guys were noticing.
Everyone telling Mary J Blige how hot she looked at the Awards show proper and how equally stunning she looked at the after party.
Christian Slater doing the Alec Baldwin for this party.
Lots of guys trying to console Emilie de Ravin.
Katharine McPhee looking lost and unsure. No one seemed to care.
Many guys on their VERY best behavior with Jack Nicholson's daughter. Not so, with her friend.
OK, I am tired of writing and trying to decipher cocktail napkins.
Also, as I read some of your comments they are really interesting. The things you saw on television I had no idea about. Reactions and things of that nature you do not really notice in person because of the size of the room. Probably better for that type of thing watching at home. I did TiVo it so I will watch it tonight and the red carpet stuff as well.
I hope you enjoyed it all.
The first kindness was there last night. She looked amazing and we caught up with each other. She said she would think about letting me tell the world who she is.
OK, just so you do not get the wrong idea about what I saw. I was nowhere close to the biggest of the big. BUT, with many bathroom visits, some selected wandering and some willing co-conspirators that I found as the night wore on, location did not really matter.
Some observations from a majority of the group. Had to be a majority.
It was assumed Hugh Grant had sex at some point during the evening. He looked perfectly normal, and then a few minutes later looked as if he, well had been having sex.
Jack Nicholson could not stop talking about how proud he was of his daughter.
Ben Affleck was deemed to have been whipped beyond belief and he looked like a shell of the guy he used to be. He just did not look happy to be there.
Annette Benning is 22 years younger than her husband Warren Beatty and looked 22 years older.
When is Sharon Stone going to go away? Since when does one movie make a career?
Jessica Biel has an amazing body, but the sun is starting to make her face look older. Isla Fisher won the D list award for being the lowest celebrity who dared walk the red carpet the latest and came after a bunch of A listers.
Seal looked like a lounge singer in Vegas.
Geena Davis looks like she could beat the living crap out of her husband.
No one had ever seen Mary J. Blige in a dress and thought she should wear one more often.
Beyonce seems to wear the same outfit at every awards show.
Everyone is scared of Jada Pinkett Smith.
Salma Hayek looked really mad most of the night.
Rinko Kukichi had a huge following of guys around her.
Drew Barrymore looked very pretty. Unknown if she was the reason Hugh Grant looked like he did. Drew will also no doubt be sad that she will be the subject of a blind item revealed on Friday.
Everyone TiVo's The Office.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt acted like royalty but were not treated like royalty and did not seem to be universally liked thanks to her.
The latest jackass is still a jackass.
Coming up next..The after parties.
Late Arrivals
While the bigger celebrities are walking the red carpet, the rest of the rest are drinking and chatting and gossiping. A lot of gossip.
Things overheard pertaining to the minions
Why is Emily Blunt dating Michael Buble?
Emily Blunt looks gorgeous
I love her dress.
Has David Spade hit on you yet?
Jennifer Hudson had some of that diva wear off on her.
She should enjoy it now.
If she wins, I think her head might explode.
America Ferrera is so nice.
I thought she would look different.
What happened to Vanessa Williams?
Has anyone ever seen hair like that?
How come John Stamos does not smile anymore?Vanessa Minnillo (never pronounced correctly) is gorgeous.
Where is Nick?
Who do you think Paris Hilton will try and sleep with tonight?
First piece of gossip and some hints. Two of the three jackasses were there last night. One of them came up to say hello and I almost started laughing. I just could not help myself. He is still an ass.
Early Arrivals
Look, I like child actors as much as the next person, but everyone has their limit and after Abigail Breslin walked the red carpet for like the 20th time, it took a ton of acting skills to keep smiling.
Becki Newton was gorgeous and she is on a really popular show. But, it still did not keep people from going, "Now who is that again?"
While we are talking about early arrivals, let's talk about someone who arrived too early for her star power, at least according to her. You know, except for child actors, the way this red carpet thing works is that you go from one end to the other, ONCE. If you get there too early and people are not paying attention to you as much as you like, then next time get there later. Do NOT, as EL did, say something to the effect of I wonder if so and so from my show got here yet and then go back out and do the line again. I knew EL when I was in college when I dated one of her friends. I did not like her then, and I do not like her now. Yes, your star is already fading, so please just accept it, or go do some other work.
Speaking of other EL's other than myself of course and the aforementioned EL. There was a Lost EL and from what I saw, I think she may be on the outs with DM which is why she had that recent tantrum about being in the public eye, etc.
So, you will notice throughout all of the parts today that I will not say one bad word about any of the cast of Heroes. No reason to because that is who the fun was with and where I got some good scoop also. Plus, they will all get the big photos.
The award for most hit on until Reese Witherspoon got there is Hayden Panettiere. Yes, she being all of 17 years old got hit on by men and women ranging from early 20's to late 60's. It was actually kind of shameless, but luckily she had friends from the show around her including Ali Larter who took care of her like a big sister most of the night. Ali (who always makes me laugh) was incredibly sweet to everyone all night and because of her I got the scoop on Hayden and JR (piano man) Rotem.
So from what I understand, Mr. Piano cornered her and a friend and said he was the guy dating Britney and that he was going to help them with their music careers. He wanted her to do a little favor for him and just walk with him through the paparazzi and that it would be good for both of their careers. He also said something like it was not working out with Britney and maybe she would like to out with him and he was just making move after move and would not stop talking about himself. She became slightly repelled by him and later she saw him with Bai Ling in his lap and he said something to the effect of joining them and no one would tell. Obviously she did not take them up on it.
I am looking at all the notes I scribbled to myself last night. They made sense last night, and I will try and piece together everything and give you something coherent to read. It will be in several parts and I will try and use photos to tell the story as well. Most of the photos are coming from wireimage with whom I have a license. They may disagree to the extent of that license, so enjoy the pics today.
The beginning
The way I go to the Golden Globes every year is to find someone who will trade tickets with me. Until two years ago I always traded with LG who would allow me to go with her and she would go with me to the Grammy's or I would just get her some extra ones. Because of what I do, I can get tickets to all the music award shows, but have trouble getting tickets to the SAG awards, the Academy Awards and the Golden Globes. The thing you have to realize about the Golden Globes is there are only about 1300 people in the main ballroom. So, if everyone were allowed to bring a date, there would be only 650 actual invitations. That is a very tough ticket. Because of the scarcity of tickets, a show like Heroes is given a certain number of tickets which obviously leaves certain people out. The person I went with this year was YK which is who I went with last year. She is a friend of a friend and we do not have much in common and we will not be going again. Last year I was really sick and almost did not go, so I was kind of oblivious to things which this year I noticed immediately.
In past years, LG and I would make fun of people and say OMG a bunch. There were plenty of bathroom reports because that is where the fun is and also often the only time you get to be closer to someone. As you can imagine, walking around during the actual show is kind of a no no and so where you get stuck is where you get stuck. The only milling around usually is done before the show if you get there early enough. How early? Good question.
The show starts at 5pm Pacific time, but depending on who you are and what you need to get done, you may get there as early as 2pm. That is always the time I have got there. In past years, a group of people would come over to my place about 9am actually and we would hang out, have a little brunch catered. The women invited would share the cost of makeup and hair and have it done there. My place is fairly convenient to the hotel where the show is held and so we would leave around 130pm to try and actually get there at 2pm.
Celebrities who are trying to get noticed or promote something or are less than A list try and get there around 2pm because they have the news outlets to themselves and are guaranteed to get lots of photos taken and interviews done. More often than not, these early arriving celebrities get more photos sent out and interviews done than A listers just because of the time constraints. There is no way someone like LG or YK will get the attention at 455pm, but get plenty of it at 230pm. In addition these early arrivals get their photos sent out all over the world first, and therefore are often used when in most cases they would be an afterthought. Between 2pm-4pm, news outlets are often desperate for actual interviews and so this is a way you can get yourself out there at that time. Everyone from a television show will try and arrive at roughly the same time and basically swarm everywhere. It is a very effective tool.
For the last two years I have met the group I am going with and it is just so much about business to them and not about having fun. Like I said, I will not be with this group again. I did not stay with them very long into the evening so it all worked out well. It is nice to see things from a different perspective though and to see how one group is about fun and another is focused on their show and their respective careers.
OK, next post will be some photos and some comments that were overheard as well as some of my own. Lots of gossip in the next post.

I want everyone to mark their calendars for Friday the 19th. Friday will not just be the usual Four For Friday, but will be the very first compilation of all the blinds that have been guessed correctly and that I can reveal. I think there are about ten. Also, I know the number of blind items, hints, and the back and forth is getting crazy, so I am working on a fix for the problem. One of the main issues is a lack of time and a lack of knowledge about HTML. I would love to make everything look great, and be organized and understand the value in it.
Tim Gunn gets his own show!!!!! Seriously, this guy makes Project Runway and I think he deserves his own show. I am a HUGE fan. BUT, I am not sure this format the way it is described is going to work for him. I do think he has incredible style, but I am anxious to see how it is going to play out every week and if it will get stale or be uninteresting. I want it to do great and not just be a big hit and then crash and burn like Queer Eye which is being canceled. Remember how hot that show was for the first year, and then everyone said, it is the same week after week. Oh, here is a bit of gossip from Queer Eye, Thom Filicia was not out to his family prior to the show starting. So, immediately prior to the publicity blitz of the first episode, he called his family and said he was going to be on a new television show and its name, and oh yeah, that he was gay. Anyway, I digressed. The point is everyone loves Tim, and so let us hope they give him something great.
Most people when they go on a diet give up sweets or liquor. Perhaps they will even start to exercise. Not Elton John though. He figures the best way to lose weight is to quit eating curry. Well sure, that will work also if curry is another word for all you can eat buffets or gallon containers of Ben & Jerry.
I am sure everyone has heard about the Golden Globes making their gift bags worth $600 instead of last year's $40,000.00. The funny thing in this article is the headline and the picture chosen to go with the headline. There must be a hundred actors and actresses they could have chosen to convey cheapness, but they chose Tara Reid which is so wrong. Also, if you think I am going to have the time of my life at the awards, check out the presenters at the bottom of the article. Those types of presenters ensure a great time and makes the Golden Globes the best awards show out there. I will explain why on Tuesday.
Blind Item of the Day
Have you noticed that this actor has a habit of just about A listing himself and then takes a big break to drop himself back to middle B? Age is the reason most people cite. The reality is that he has always enjoyed playing with his own team even when he was married, and has done so irresponsibly in the past. His frequent trips to Europe to explore his violent, dark side in gay brothels and S&M clubs has become his focus and passion. His failure to use protection at any time could also be causing his limited work schedule. He has a history of doing work only when he needs the money to finance another six month sex fueled vacation. He often signs on for two or three films but usually only completes one before exhaustion and/or lust sets in. Witnesses state that people never get to close to him in the last few days of any film because of his mood swings which alternate between kindness and rage in a matter of minutes.
