Today's Blind Items

Chances are, whoever pops in your head for this one is the right answer. Sometimes they are easy, but this one was just too fun to not share with you.

I always thought that one day these two female B list actresses (#1-tv and film equally; #2 primarily tv) with almost identical careers who are best friends would get married. Well, they still might actually, but for now they are on the outs. If I could cackle right now, I would. The two have been known to vacation with each other. However, when it came time to go this year, #1 thought she was going to have other plans, so #2 made plans with some other celebrities, because that's what celebrities do. They vacation together. Well, when #1's plans fell through she naturally thought she could tag along. Not so fast. Turns out #2, et al didn't want #1 around and #2 didn't hold back in telling her why. As in 30 minutes of telling off. Should have done that a really long time ago.

  7. I love the easy ones!!!!

    #1 Jen Aniston

    #2 et al. Courtney Cox, David Arquette, etc.

    BTW, Courtney probably did her a favor. Sometimes people don't want to face their own faults and only a close friend can give it to you straight.

  8. I think Enty is being sarcastic when he says he thought they'd get married b/c for a while there they were inseparable and Maniston was always tagging along on the Cox-Arquette vacations. This is totally those two, and it's really funny.

  9. Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox.

  10. drew barrymore and cameron diaz

  11. Sounds about right, but "Friends" was A-List, wasn't it? For a while there, they were making the highest salaries on TV, it's been syndicated in every country, etc.

    Just quibbling - I can't think of who else it could be, anyway.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Please tell me CC-A spent those 30 minutes telling Jen not to whore it up with such a perverted slimeball next time.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Ha ha. Cox and Aniston, totally!

    Simple paraphrasing: Jenny was touring with John, so she couldn't go with Courtney. Now, Jenny's single and Courtney's still going on vacation, but she got tired of Jenny and her whiny little self-serving ways and told her so.

    Plus, I'll bet David HATES Jennifer. I'd be PISSED if my spouse's best friend assumed she could just tag along on every holiday.

    Can't Jennifer just go visit one of Oprah's farflung castles and leave Courtney alone? Aren't she and The Big O BFFs or some shit?

  14. ooo good guess, sarah. i'm still gonna go with the majority though. jen just can't seem to get it all together-kinda feeling bad for her these days.

    ReplyDelete
  15. i want to see a 400lb. man cackling!

    adrian-- @ your avatar = great tribute!

    ReplyDelete
  16. i think "married" is a play on "friends". mos def aniston and cox-arquette.

    ReplyDelete
  17. @sarah -- Neither Drew nor Cammy could even remotely be described as "primarily TV".

    ReplyDelete
  18. Not to shit all over your guess, Sarah -- because it IS a good one -- but Drew and Cam also don't really have identical careers at ALL. Cameron started out as a teenage model and was cast in her first movie in her very early twenties, whereas we all know how and where and why Drew got her start, and her family background and everything. Plus, I'd say that those two are far more A-list than Cox and Aniston.

    Oh, and sidenote: last night, I was watching the Jeopardy! Teen Tournament and they asked an ET-related question and NONE of the kids buzzed in. I wanted to die.

  19. This is a faux blind item.

    It's supposed to be Aniston and Cox but I'm pretty sure the truth is not where this BI is at somehow.

    ReplyDelete
  20. The cackle comment makes me think one of them is Eva Longoria but I have no idea who she's friends with.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I sort of think Aniston is A-list, no matter how much every one loves to hate. Really don't think it's her and Ms.Cox.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I would call Aniston and Cox both A-list for TV, no way are they B list, except maybe for Aniston in movies.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I have a question:

    Can someone break this blind down to me please?

    Sorry, I'm having a "brain fart" moment. I can't understand this blind too well...

    ReplyDelete
  24. Nah, b-list fits now. Friends was a while ago and neither one has been able to move past Monica and Rachel and may never do so.

    ReplyDelete
  25. It is a well-known fact that Cox and Aniston vacation all the time together. It has to be them.

    ReplyDelete
  26. ...and to conclude the Cox-Aniston theory, it would make sense that Cox's group wouldn't want Jen around and the "should have done that a long time ago" would also play into Jen's tagging along with the Cox-Arquette's for way too long.

    I too think David A. is tired of Jen always being there on vacation.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Ernestine, I was watching too and I thought the kid answered Close Encounters and I thought no, it's E.T. you silly kid.

    Or was Close Encounters the answer to the next question?

    Obviously, I was preoccupied during Jeopardy.

    As far as the blind, Ent said to go with the first instinct and Jen and Court seem to be the majority's first guess.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Rue McClanahan and Estelle Getty (RIP)

    ReplyDelete
  29. I admit that court and jen immediately came to mind, but how are they B list? for some reason, that jen just keeps getting pretty plum roles, regardless of how they keep bombing. she's coming up in Marley and Me with Owen Wilson. Court's probably C list movies. Jen, I guess B list. If A list is George, Brad and Angie. yeah, gotta be Court and Jen. cumulatively (I can't spell right now!) they probably are B.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Yeah, def CCA and JA!!!!Cam and Drew haven't really done any tv!!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Jen is not on top of the game right now hence her being B list.
    no tv show an no blockbuster movies.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Oprah and Gayle fit perhaps. Maybe they'll get married someday ;)

    ReplyDelete
  33. Long-time lurker, first-time poster...and this is completely off-topic, but that NY Post rape item? A blogger has posted an email supposedly sent from someone who knows who the rapist is...

    ...apologies if this was already posted...I'm new...forgive me, for I know not what I do...

    ReplyDelete
  34. everyone's first thought was cox and anistan. He said to go with our first thought. I wont argue.

    My only other thoughts are Jenna Fischer/Angela Kinsey (not likely) and Naomi and Nicole Kidman (too much film)

    ReplyDelete
  35. Sure, the first thought that comes up would be Jen and Courtney, but there's no way that Aniston is only B list with regard to television. She was A-List forever and her rank can't have plummeted for television just because she hasn't been on it recently. Also, despite her films being critical flops, I still think that she is likely viewed as more than simply B list with regard to film. Gotta be B+ at the very least, right?

    Of course, you're likely all correct, the choices here are limited. I think my main contention is simply that the rank feels off.

  36. meninab1- that is some heavy shit

    ReplyDelete
  37. Holy wow, meninab1; that's one explosive accusation!! rapist blind alleged reveal? http://www.kennethinthe212.com/2008/08/in-box.html

    Kenneth,
    I read your story about the closeted actor who raped a former boyfriend. All of the names listed were wrong, it was actually Will Smith. You and Page 6 were wrong about some of the other details as well. The former boyfriend did report Will to the Lost Hills Sherrifs Department. The payoff was done to keep him from pressing charges. The charges were indeed dropped. The former boyfriend also needed surgery because his anus had a small split called a fisure after the incident.

    To set the record straight, it wasn't rape, it was more of rough play that the two played on many occasions. It got out of hand and Will didn't stop. He's not a rapist but he and his wife both live a life filled with lies. They don't have sex with each other or in thier home. They live in Hidden Hills but they have a seperate home in nearby Agoura Hills just for sex with others. If this world were more accepting of gay people, I think Will and Jada would be living happy, honest lives with other people. On a final note, I was one of Will's boyfriends for a while. I think we all get a max of 4 months and then he moves on.

    Kevin

    Extra info:
    The City of Hidden Hills is nestled between the western foothills of the San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles County and the Ventura County line, California.

  38. lot of good plausible guesses... wish it could be revealed. but more than that i hope this guy gets out for good and prosecutes her.

    ReplyDelete
  39. The only thing that doesn't make sense is if it wasn't rape, then why would the guy go to the Sheriff's? Not sure if this story is really true because the parts of the story doesn't add up. For example, how would this guy know the story? Even if he was a boyfriend, that doesn't make him necessarily on what happened to this guy.

  40. Back on topic...

    My guesses?

    Longoria & Hatcher?

    Cox & Aniston?

    Miley & Selena?

    Theissen & Berkley?

    Donna Dixon & Tom Hanks?

    Starsky & Hutch?

    Captain & Tennielle?

    Hall & Oates?

    Melanie Cook & Stephen Briemer?

    Okay, I give. I'm going to go back and masturbate to some really good internet porn now. Right after these messages...

    The only names that popped into my head were Paris and Nicole.

  42. OK, if Aniston and Cox are B listers, who is left to be A Lister? Either Enty was clearly off in his description of B Listers and this is Cox/Aniston, or this is definitely not them, as they are A List

    ReplyDelete
  43. I was just thinking about the A/B list thing, because I think a lot of us are confused.

    I think that the designation A-List means that there has to be a certain amount of popularity AND critical recognition the star still CURRENTLY enjoys -- s/he can't just be the subject of tabloid fodder. That would mean that, say, Jessica Simpson is A-List, since she's featured in or on nearly every single shitty tabloid at least once a week.

    Enty said once that mega award-winners are automatically A-listers, which would mean that Meryl Streep is probably perma A++. Ditto Jodie Foster. Aniston did win an Emmy or two for her role as Rachel, but that was close to a decade ago. And Emmys definitely don't carry the same clout as Oscars.

    Is Kirstie Alley still television A-list because she won a bunch of Emmy's for playing Rebecca Howe -- even though Cheers went off the air in 1992 or something? I would call her movie status C-list, because the Look Who's Talking series was shat upon by nearly every critic. Does that average into a solid B designation, even though nearly EVERYBODY knows exactly who she is?

    I think that time plays a factor in this. That's all I'm trying to say. Cox's show just got cancelled, and some movie with Owen Wilson that revolves around a dog sure as shit ain't gonna win Aniston an Oscar. I say they're B-list right now.

    Oh, and that Will Smith story is JUST sordid and detailed enough to make it completely believable. And that truly IS some fucked-up shit. A anal fissure? No thanks! Wow.

    I KNEW it wasn't Bale! I can go back to loving him.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Drew and Cameron are A-list. They can carry a movie and aren't TV.

    Totally Jen and Courtney. Ent said it was an easy one. They were on an A-list show, but that doesn't make them A list. They can't carry a movie and haven't won an Oscar. They are totally B list, with perhaps A list name recognition. (They just THINK they are A list...)

    ReplyDelete
  45. I feel like it kind of has to be JA and CC, and agree with Ernestine's view of the A, B, etc. list.

    For the first couple of years after Friends went off the air, I think there were plenty of people who would have gone to see a movie just because JA was in it, but now, not so much.

    I'd love to know the content of that 30-minute bitch out.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Ha! CC and Barat's clan are vacationing in Hawaii right now. It's gotta be them.

  47. Dude, Courtney and David are hanging with Isla and Sasha now?! UPGRADE!!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Definitely Courteney & Jen. One of them made the comment a few years ago that she would marry the other if she could. Courteney, I think.

    ReplyDelete
  49. @ meninab1- thanks for posting about the 'alleged' rape blind (and welcome!). The whole thing is depressing. Does anyone else sometimes think, 'too much information- too much!'???

    ReplyDelete
  50. btw, I'm with you all on the pop guess on this blind- CC and JA. I wonder how that convo went down! (yes, the light hearted crap isn't too much for my sensitive goss pallete!)

    ReplyDelete
  51. A lot of blogs now call Aniston "washed up and old." I don't think she's so A-list for TV anymore, and certainly not A-list for movies -- she is NOT in the same league as Cate Blanchett and Meryl Streep.

    ReplyDelete
  52. OH SNAP!!!

    Poor Jen.
    I wish I could have heard that 30-minute telling off!

  53. This is totally Aniston & Cox-Arquette. And it's NOT the first time they've had a falling out. Last year they also had a major "break up" while Aniston was in Oregon filming the moving she's taking to the Toronto Film Festival to find a distributor for - "Management". CCA had told Aniston,who was bored stiff while away from LA and who can't entertain herself without the aid of cannibis, that she MIGHT bring Coco to Oregon for a week or so to visit while Aniston shot her movie. Well, guess what? CCA never made it to Oregon - mainly becase DA said he was sick of CCA being at Aniston's post-divorce beck-and-call and that it was time to cut the apron strings and let poor, old Jenny fend for herself for a change and stop squeezing the life out HIS marriage just because she'd finally managed to run Brad off.

    After Aniston wrapped Management she was in LA for about a month before she finally gave in and apologized to CCA for being a thoughtless, self-absorbed twit. That lasted about 6 weeks. Then the Arquettes went on vacation to Hawaii. Three guesses as to who tagged along. Then later in the year the Arquettes went to Mexico. And guess who tagged along. Notice those weren't questions, but statements.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Shoot - I forgot to add that the Cox-Arquettes are currently vacationing in Hawaii again. This time with Toby & Jennifer Maguire and their daughter and Leonardo DiCaprio, who just happens to be pretty good friends with Brad Pitt. Just thought I'd mention that.
