Four For Friday

#1 & 2 - So, earlier this week, we had an A lister who was spotted ignoring his companion. Well,, the reason he may be ignoring her is that he is having a thing with a VERY much younger than him C list film actress who co-stars in a brand new film that stars a guy from one of my favorite television shows.

#3 - This is an unusual one. Just the name of a show rather than a person. What brand new television show, filmed outside the US, has pretty much ruined it for all companies that want to film there in the future. The reason? The crew working the show had never been treated as badly in terms of verbal abuse, lack of respect and working conditions. In addition, a local girl was severely burnt in the face and upper body when a light exploded on set. By way of compensation she was offered a job in a city 300 miles away from the village where she has lived her whole life. Obviously she could not do it, and the production company just didn't care. It gave her one option, and one option only.

#4 & 5 - What singer and I use that term loosely is running out of money fast? The reason? Her fairly new husband is now acting as her business manager and using her bank account as his own personal ATM. In the short time they have been married she has lost almost $5M all because of him.

  1. if number 4 is mel b, why the hell did she turn down playboy? but eddie's child support check should be at least five figures?

    enty, loves mary j and she's a decent singer. can't see this being her.

  2. #3 - Crusoe? (I have no idea where it's filmed, but it's brand-new and seems like it could be filmed outside the U.S.)

    #4/5 - Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon? Except $5m probably is a drop in the bucket for her...

    ReplyDelete
  3. Oops - I missed the business manager part of #4/5. Not Mariah, then.

    ReplyDelete
  4. #4 Katherine McFee & her no hubby?

    ReplyDelete
  5. Scarey Spice sounds about right. Mariah actually has a great voice, so it wouldn't be her--& I think Nick is too smart to screw it up so quick.

    ReplyDelete
  6. #1--Film and younger actress: Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (starring Michael Cera from Arrested Development) and the younger actress: Kat Dennings. So who's the A-lister she's having a thing with?

    ReplyDelete
  7. Crusoe sounds right for #3. IMDB says it's been filmed in England and Seychelles (islands off Africa). If it is, hopefully the show will die a horrifically-low-rated death.

    ReplyDelete
  8. Enty, you need to out #3 so that we can all be sure not to watch.

    #4&5 - Mel B.

  10. I was thinking Gerard Butler for #1, but who's the actress?
    #3- I'll go with Crusoe like everyone else. I don't watch TV, so I have no clue about any shows...
    #4&5- No clue either, really...

    ReplyDelete
  11. #4- is katherine mcphee married yet to the loser??

    the rest, i have NO clue. Don't watch much t.v other than football with my bf

    ReplyDelete
  12. I like Avril for #4

    ReplyDelete
  13. 4# christina aguilera .His husband is his manager!

    ReplyDelete
  14. I can't imagine McPhee had $5M to burn through. How about Wino - is Blaaaaaaaaake incarcerated considered "fairly new"? I think we're looking for someone who's not much of a singer, or whose exploits outshine her pipes. I do like the Scary Spice guess too.

    ReplyDelete
  15. About Crusoe:

    What were some of the challenges you encountered with the character or the sets?

    PHILIP WINCHESTER: Well, I think the biggest challenge we had so far is the physical and emotional stamina, because we’ve been - You know, we had so much to shoot in such a short amount of time and, as we talked about earlier, there’s been a lot of physical demands on everyone. Not just the actors but kind of on the crew, the grips, and the camera team.

  16. no idea for any of them
    not in US so don't know what's a new show but #3 needs to be outed as it is disgusting, they should be named an shamed

    ReplyDelete
  17. and no, Vancouver is not a village.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Difficult for Blaaaake to act as a business manager as he's still in prison. Amy wouldn't notice $5m disappearing - she must have spent that on drugs in the last year. Mel B is a good guess.

    For 1 and 2, we need a middle-aged A lister in a LTR, at an event this week. Hmmm.

    ReplyDelete
  19. "...and no, Vancouver is not a village."

    LOL!!! "Village" would seem appropriate to South Africa...

    I'm liking the Kat Dennings guess for #2. No clue who A-lister is.

    #3 - Here's a list of new shows for the fall. Crusoe is the only one that looks like it films outside North America.

    #4 - Poor Mel B. Maybe that's why she had to dress like an alien the other day.

    ReplyDelete
  21. #1 Gerard Butler and Kat Dennings ... Gerry was ignoring Shanna Moakler's advances in a club earlier this week.

    #4/5 - Mel B's hubby has a suspicious background. I would say Kat McFee, but I think she is a knowing beard for gay hubby for some pre-arranged reason.

    ReplyDelete
  22. !. Gerard Butler (ignoring Shauna Moakler) + Alison Lohman
    new sci fi flick

    ReplyDelete
  23. melissa ~ it was filmed in S.America and 2 weeks in N.Maine. I believe they are done with filming at this time too. just in case that info will help anyone with this one.

    ReplyDelete
  24. btw i got my info from two of the actors who talked about it on the Today show this morning.

    ReplyDelete
  25. 1&2# leo dicaprio & kristen connolly ?

    ReplyDelete
  26. #2. Crusoe, begins tonight and much of the filming is done in South Africa.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I think the Mel B guess is good for #4. Her husband does have a shady past and they got married rather hastily after her breakup with Eddie Murphy. I also don't think Katherine McPhee has 5 mill to lose.

    ReplyDelete
  28. If not Mel B., then I think Ashley Simpson for #4. She is barely a singer and she married Pete Wentz not too long ago.

    ReplyDelete
  29. 1. Gerard Butler and Amanda Crews? She co-stars in Sex Drive with Seth Green (Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Family Guy)

    ReplyDelete
  30. Pete Wentz has his own money. I'd wager Fall Out Boy has sold more records than Ashley, and judging by the fangirl squee I saw online last year online, their last concert tour was a big hit. He also hails from Winnetka, Il, which is old money suburban Chicago. If anything, Ashley and her stupid family, could drag his assets down.

    Mel B is a very good guess. I've heard about her hubby's shady past: drugs, beating women. Stupid, stupid girl for marrying him. I hope she got a good pre-nup to protect Eddie's money. It's no good being a gold digger, if your husband's a gold digger himself.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Mel B is a good guess, but I think it is Avril. Rumor has it there are some problems in that marriage, and we all know most marital fights are about money.

    ReplyDelete
  32. No way is Gerry the man in the first one. For one, Moakler wasn't his "companion," she sidled over to him at an event. And I'm sure he was ignoring her because he can smell skank a mile away. Besides, why would it be so scandalous for Gerry to have a fling? He's unmarried and no significant other. It has to be an A lister with a true "companion."

    ReplyDelete
  33. Also on the Gerry defense, he's in his late 30s, so why point out a "VERY much younger than him" for someone that age, unless she's a minor (which I think Enty would have pointed out). I think it's a MUCH OLDER A lister.

    ReplyDelete
  34. For some reason Warren Beatty sprung to mind as the A Lister. I remember reading somewhere that he was acting up at an event for Annette Bening earlier in the week.

    As to the C Lister, I like the Kat Denning guess!

  36. classalpha-

    I'm seriously just curious as to why you post like that? What does it all mean? (I'm old and out of the loop on these kind of things...help me understand, please.)

    ReplyDelete
  37. I second that and raise it by 10.

    ReplyDelete
  38. uh......huh. Annnywhooo...

    I'm changing my guess to Xtina.. i for got her hubby is a business man, and also that mcpee doesn't have that much moola...
    BUT I suppose it could be murphy as well. please don't kill me classalpha. your intensity scares me.

  39. Photo of Gerard and Kat last month at the premiere after-party for "Nick and Norah":

  40. "What singer and I use that term loosely"

    No way is this Mariah, Amy, or Xtina. No way. To me, it would have to be an Ashlee Simpson, but her husband has more money than her. Or it would have to be Mel B, which we all know she is pseudo singer.

    ReplyDelete
  41. #1&#2 - Ent loves Arrested Development, so that definitely makes the girl Kat Dennings since she stars in 'Nick and Nora's...' with Michael Cera. Don't know about the A list guy tho. Too vague.

    #3 - Crusoe. A comic book site I frequent said the main creator of this show is currently working on a script for one of the JLA movies coming up. This lead one of the site writers to rumor that NBC has already canceled the show, since the creator is now working on the movie script. But, it is rumor, so I dunno...

    #4&#5 - Don't care. But prolly Mel B.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I think Gerard Butler is a reasonable guess for the guy in the first one. Shanna Moakler was his companion, meaning that she was with him at that particular moment. Kat Dennings could be the girl, too.

    #3 - definitely crusoe. That so sad, though.

    4 and 5 Mel B. and her man. I originally thought Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon or Jennifer Hudson and her new man (who is definitely a scumbag).

    ReplyDelete
  43. classalpha-
    I understood your post. I didn't know that Brittney Murphy had done an album in 2006. I think it's her or Mel B. for 4/5.

    What singer and I use that term loosely...

    That sounds like someone that can't sing. Mariah and Xtina have good voices. Xtina's husband seems like a pretty nice guy.

    ReplyDelete
  44. No. 1 the A lister: Ryan Phillipe

    ReplyDelete
  45. Has Gerard Butler became the new Ben Affleck on these boards?

    I agree with Kat Dennings for 2, Crusoe sounds plausible for 3, and I immediately thought of Mel B for 4.

    I would argue Xtina and yes, even Avril have been married too long to warrant the "in the short time they have been married". That makes me think less than a year

  48. 1# this dude isn't gerald butler,gerry isn't A list and he hasn't a girlfriend!

    ReplyDelete
  49. 1. Gerard Butler and Kat Dennings. Gerard is almost 39 and kat is 21. He's nearly half her age.

    4. Mel B. Wasn't her husband a con artist who changed his name to Belafonte so people would think he was related to them?

    ReplyDelete
  50. nelly furtado recently married a sound engineer and some people think her singing is meh.

    ReplyDelete
  51. It would be funny if #4/5 were Scarlett and Ryan. :)

    ReplyDelete
  52. I know this isnt related to these blind items, but didnt Enty post a BI awhile ago about the star sleeping with the tennis instructor? Well, its definitely David Duchovny, as DListed just put out a story on the woman who was his instructor...and she claims they are "very good friends" but she doesnt want to become the third wheel... Just thought you all would want to know...

    ReplyDelete
  53. I am so out of the loop. Who the HELL is Gerard Butler?

    ReplyDelete
  54. Charlene - Gerard Butler is Leonidis from 300, and the father from Nim's Island, among others. Why he's the guess I have no idea, there is much more against him than in favor of him being #1.

    I'm voting older, much older for #1. Thinking late 40's at least with an 18ish chick.

    #3 screams Crusoe.

    #4 & #5 are Mel B and her slime ball hubby. That's what sprung to mind for me anyway.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Jessica, that was a not so blind item from Perez

    ReplyDelete
  56. Avril and her husband are getting a divorce so it can't be her for 4/5
