Today's Blind Items
This B list film and television actor from a famous family and an infamous marriage really doesn't like to be bothered. How much so? Well in a hotel he was staying at, he decided he wanted to work out in the hotel gym, but only if no one was in the gym with him at the same time. See, he can't be around everyday people. So, when he walked in to the gym to work out and saw two teenage girls there, he freaked out. Instead of perhaps asking them when they were going to be done, or if he could have the room to himself, he instead, picked up the phone, called hotel security and had them removed so he could be alone. Nice huh?
Alec Baldwin fits for B list TV, film, famous family, infamous marriage, and doucheness.
ReplyDeleteCharlie Sheen fits, too...although I should say he is more A-list when it comes to TV, right?
ReplyDeleteI think Alec would have just screamed: "GET OUT, YOU THOUGHTLESS LITTLE PIGS!"
ReplyDeleteSo I'd go with the Charlie Sheen guess.
cant be charlie . he is the highest paid actor on tv .. certainly that would have to make him a list .. how about keifer?
ReplyDeleteBalthazar Getty?
ReplyDeleteI was thinking Baldwin or Sheen.
ReplyDeleteI'm going w/ Baldwin. It was my first thought and I think it fits!!
ReplyDeletei really thought sheen on this but baldwin sounds good too.
ReplyDeleteIf it were Sheen, he probably would have been too busy getting phone numbers.
ReplyDeleteBaldwin's gotta be teetering on A list TV. He's been nominated for an Emmy 7 times, two of those times for 30 Rock.
ReplyDeleteSheen is A list TV all the way.
Although both have infamous marriages & famous families, I just don't think any of the other clues fit.
Stickin' with Getty. His family is super famous (not necessarily "celebrity") and he has definite reason not to want to be bothered right now. Plus, it's been said that he's an odd character.

ReplyDeleteNice attitude Balthazar. As always money cannot buy manners.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Getty is B so I'm going w/Balwin.
ReplyDeletegetty was the first one to come to mind.
ReplyDeletebut is Balthazar even B list? he's minor at best.
ReplyDeleteAlec Baldwin works out?
ReplyDeleteCharlie was my first thought as well, but all these guesses are good and would fit.
ReplyDeletehmm i had Getty too.
ReplyDeletebut he cannot be around everyday people and he could be around Sienna who we know is everyday people. in fact she has several people...every day.
lol@ Ella B.
ReplyDeleteI think its Balthazar Getty as well.
ReplyDeletesheen is a list,
baldwin at least has a list name recognition. i think Enty threw us a grapefruit with this one.
Also, in the random photo9s xtina is not wearing her ring. Ent says its evidence of a previous blind..Anyone remember which one? Did we solve it?
Balty! What an ass, he must be a horrible person to live with. His wife must be so happy she's got 4 little paychecks and he's gone.
ReplyDeleteBut is Getty's divorce FINAL?
ReplyDeleteI thought they were in the divorce stage so I don't think its done just yet, so not sure it would go with "infamous" marriage, also what would be infamous about a man having a mistress, now Baldwin/Sheen married to actresses whose marriage and divorces were scandle ridden, sounds like a better fit for "infamous"
Oh, we solved the xtina blind:
ReplyDelete"Have a baby and then lose your husband? This A list singer recently had a baby, but it seems that the little bundle of joy was also just delaying the inevitable. The only thing that held them together was the pregnancy. Now that the pregnancy is over, so is the marriage."
My first thought was Josh Brolin. He's done both film and TV and it just kinda sounds like him.
ReplyDelete*girl - excellent work. I couldn't face going back through the blinds to find it. thx!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to go with Sheen Or Baldwin for this.
ReplyDeleteboth baldwin and sheen are a list, and i agree, i think charlie would be getting names and numbers.
ReplyDeletei don't even see getty, i think we're overlooking something obvious.
it doesn't say divorced, just "infamous" marriage.
has michael douglas moved down to b list?
my first thought was brolin, also.
how do we know for sure it was about xtina by that picture? i must be missing something
ReplyDeleteLissa, her wedding ring is conspicuously absent.
ReplyDeleteahhhh! good eye!
ReplyDeletedeja vu
ReplyDeleteJennmcn:
ReplyDeleteMy thought exactly!
I don't think it's Charlie, either. His wife is preggers and I think he'd JUMP on the poor girls!!!!!
^..^
What about Chad Lowe or Rob Lowe?
ReplyDeleteOne of the random photos is of Hillary Swank, Chad's ex-wife. Her imfamous Oscar speech? The divorce where his drug use came out?
Without even seeing any of y'all's guesses...Alec Baldwin.
ReplyDelete...but looks like we've got it pretty well it narrowed down, eh?
ReplyDeletei thought of the lowes, but chad is a producer, and i'm not i don't know if they fit the famous "family".
ReplyDeletei'm thinking: sutherland, baldwin, o'neal, douglas.
either a large number of sibs or generations of family.
but i can't find any one that fits.
the one that fits best is alec baldwin, except he is not b list television (movies, yes), and i don't see him working out.
maybe 30 rock is still considered b list, because it's not "mainstream"?
I met Rob Lowe and he was the most down-to-earth guy you could know. He went out of his way once to make a "nobody" feel good. (I saw it.)
ReplyDeleteI've never heard anything but good things about Chad (can't say that about his ex). So I'm thinkin' it ain't them.
And I still don't think Alec works out! (God love him if he doesn't!) :-D
I thought Getty for sure. Doesn't ENT normally say 'family of actors' when he's talking about the Baldwins et al?
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's Baldwin or Sheen. Sheen is the highest paid sitcom star, so he is definitely A list. Baldwin has too much name recognition to be B list. Michael Douglas isn't really fully B list, and I wouldn't really call his marriage "infamous."
ReplyDeleteGetty was my first thought.
The Rob Lowe guess is interesting as well, and he definitely fits. To respond to nunaurbiz, I don't think this story contradicts yours. He didn't yell at the girls. He maintained his nice guy image (alas, it might not be genuine) and had the hotel do it.
Not that I would defend everything Rob Lowe does, but I just don't think he would go out of his way to avoid mingling with "the little people" and have hotel security remove them from a public place when he clearly (at least when I saw him) enjoyed mingling with the little people. Besides, I don't think his marriage was infamous, just his boudoir videotaping with, ahem, young ladies.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was David Arquette.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was Getty, too, but I like jj's guess of Josh Brolin.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Michael Douglas, I could see him with a holier than thou attitued.
ReplyDeleteAlec Baldwin is A-list tv people, the man has a damn Emmy.
ReplyDeleteBalthazar is the perfect fit. It didn't say famous "acting" family as EL does when it's from someone with famous acting relatives. It's just "famous family" as in the Gettys.
nunaubriz, Lowe's marriage was made infamous a while ago. A nanny sued him and his wife for sexual harassment. The attention was focused on his wife, and I believe some other employees came out saying similar things.
ReplyDeleteFrom the always reliable Wikipedia:
In April 2008, Lowe filed separate lawsuits against 3 former employees accusing them of breach of contract, defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Lowe accuses an ex-nanny of engaging in a scheme to hurt the couple by spreading "malicious lies". Another ex-nanny is accused of falsely claiming to have a personal and intimate relationship with Lowe, and also repeatedly expressing romantic interest in Rob, claiming that Lowe sexually harassed her and that Sheryl Lowe was an abusive employer. Lowe claims a former chef engaged in sex on their bed with third parties when the family was out of town, stole prescription drugs from the Lowes, broke several security cameras, overcharged them for food, and allegedly made statements to various people that Sheryl was heartless, cold and unclean.
Former nanny, 24-year-old Jessica Gibson, made 12 allegations against Lowe involving sexual harassment claims and labor-code violations. On June 19, 2008, Santa Barbara, California, Superior Court Judge Denise de Bellefeuille dismissed two allegations regarding labor-code violations due to lack of legal basis. Lowe's next hearing was set for July 10, 2008.
Go ahead and think Rob Lowe if you want then. I just don't think it's him in this BI.
ReplyDeleteEmilio Estevez? Married to Pauler Abdul.
ReplyDeleteI don't think its Kiefer Sutherland Ive run into him a few times,hes a very nice guy.
ReplyDeleteWoah, I'm totally going with Sheen after being informed that Alec Baldwin is in no way a B lister after an Emmy.
ReplyDeleteI dunno, Charlie Sheen just strikes me as a total douche.
Who is Balthazar Getty, besides Sienna Miller's sex buddy? I wasn't aware he was an actual actor......
Lol I love how everyone STILL fights over what is B-list even after ENT clarified.
ReplyDeleteOK-I think I have an idea for a much better way to differentiate the lists. Let me know what you all think:
ReplyDeleteA List-Can you say "hey let's all go to that new ______ movie this weekend!" (Fill in the blank with star of your choice.)
B List-Can you say "hey let's go see that new movie this weekend with ______ in it"
C List-Can you say "hey let's go see that new movie this weekend with a bunch of people and that one guy that I can't think of his name but he was in that one movie with that other guy"
D List-Would be that has-been or never-was that hangs around parties any chance they can trying to score or at least get their picture taken and everyone wonders how they even got an invite or got in to begin with.
