Today's Blind Items
It is not quite up to the same level as Coke Mom, but I definitely think this mom is headed in that direction. The reason I say it isn't as bad as Coke Mom is because this divorced C+/B- movie and television actress who has had some very meaty roles doesn't actually use coke in front of her child as far as I know. I mean she might but her child is a little older than Coke Mom's child so would probably remember it. Our actress has always had a very solid career. If you saw her you would know her instantly even if you didn't know her name. The problem is that her coke use has got so out of hand that she missed three straight auditions for what would have been her biggest role to date. She would have been the lead in a popcorn flick but instead it went to someone else and so now our actress is stuck in a movie no one is going to see, playing essentially the same character she always plays.
Oh, and since you read this far, if you see a picture of Coke Mom lately she has the crazy eyes. Those big huge how the hell do pupils get that big kind of look. Oh, and forget trying to talk to her. She can't stand in one place for longer than about 30 seconds.
I coke mom Jamie Pressley?
ReplyDeleteI ask because peeing on the sidewalk could be signs of a bigger problem.
I'm having a hard time with this one. But I think Jamie Pressley's child is too young.
ReplyDeleteCoke mom could be Jamie Pressley
ReplyDeleteThis blind: Carla Gugino?
I think Jaime's talked about having eating problems previously, but she's already getting ready for husband number two, and I think Enty would have mentioned it.
ReplyDeleteThis blind - no idea. Too vague.
Enty said Coke Mom is married - Jaime Pressly is not. And getting older - JP is only 32.
ReplyDeleteBut I like how Enty always lets little clues on Coke Mom slip.
Heather Locklear immediately came to mind, but I don't know...too old?
ReplyDeleteHeather does have big eyes sometimes, but I thought it was the bad plastic surgery.
ReplyDeleteThis one seems impossible:
ReplyDeleteSomewhat known yet unknown actress divorced with a kid who's appeared in TV and movies.
Ummm, yeah.
I thought of couple of actresses who were appropos but they don't have kids according to IMDB.
My brain hurts.
Isn't Coke Mom either Debra Messing or Angie Harmon (or wasn't Angie CM #2)?
ReplyDeleteDid Anne Heche get ruled out for coke mom? She's got freaky eyes sometimes.
ReplyDeleteThe "know her instantly" is one of the phrases that made me think of Locklear. Doesn't everybody know who she is regardless of generation? But she's never been a star in a film. She always plays the same character.
ReplyDeleteWell the only other person I have been thinking for awhile (Coke Mom) is Tori Spelling.
ReplyDeleteCourtney Cox?
ReplyDeletelocklear for the win.
ReplyDeleteagreed, locklear. courtney cox is married and heche does not play the same role repeatedly. plus locklear has a movie coming out costarring billy ray cyrus. certainly no one will see that.
ReplyDeleteIf the pupils were really huge, that would be more indicative of a central nervous system stimulant like Meth than a narcotic like coke.
ReplyDeleteJust saying. Coke eyes are pinprick eyes.
Locklear. What an idiot.
ReplyDeleteHeather Locklear's daughter is 12. The kid is too old for her to be CM1. CM2 is a possibility, I guess.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being servicey Kara!
I thought of Kate Hudson but she's mostly done movies right? I'm stumped
ReplyDeletecocaine can certainly dilate pupils, fact.
ReplyDeleteis tori spelling in the running at all for cm2? i find it easy to beleive with her appearance manner and attitude. also the blindly self centered behaviour towards children, mother.
just a thought.
Denise Richards
ReplyDeleteMy coke pupils were always huge. My Xanax pupils were tiny.
ReplyDeleteHey, I'm not as proud of the past as I am proud to be alive and well!
I think Harmon fits in somewhere, and Tori has to. Just has to.
going with heather locklear. Great guess.
ReplyDeleteThis one today seems like it could be Jamie Pressley; good guess y'all!
ReplyDeleteIt's not Jamie pressely...she has an infant/toddler...which doesn't fit with the blind considering that it says the child is a little bit older.
ReplyDeletePlace she doesn't play the same character all the time.
It says you would know her face even if you didn't know her name. How many people don't know Heather Locklear by name?
ReplyDeletesherylinn fenn? the brunette of "twin peaks" who looked alike a young Elizabeth Taylor
ReplyDeletecoke mom:mariska hargitay?
Wish Enty would label all the coke mom clues for easy reference...
ReplyDeleteWas going back through the random photos, and Marcia Cross' eyes look crazy. Don't know if she fits other clues, tho.
Kelly Rutherford?
ReplyDeleteOk, Jamie PRessley's kid isn't even two. NOT HER! HARMON just had a baby 2 years ago too. Harmon is not a big name either. She's always been coke whored out. I'm thinking Messing who always plays the same character, could have really screwed up because she is somewhat relevant, And also Locklear. Terri Hatcher too, but she is still working on DH.
ReplyDeleteI think it is hilarious you guys keep guessing Harmon. I can't stand her and she is a terrible actress.
ReplyDeleteAngie Harmon has three little girls so I don't think it's her. Will coke mom ever be revealed? It's driving me nuts!
ReplyDelete"you would know her instantly even if you didn't know her name"
ReplyDeletethis is a big clue
On the Courtney train....I am going with Ms. Cool(above) and Courtney Cox Arquette FTW!
ReplyDeleteI think almost everyone who's been mentioned has a pretty recognizable name that everyone would know. Really, who wouldn't know Heather Locklear by name? No way this is her. We're looking for someone WAY less known, probably a secondary character in a LOT of movies, maybe someone who always plays the "best friend" or something like that.
ReplyDeletechar - exactly my thought
ReplyDeleteI thought I had a winner with Brooke Shields, star of "Clive Barkers Midnight Meat Train" (a very meaty role;) but she is still married?
ReplyDeleteLeslie Bibb was also in that movie but wikipedia mentions neither divorce nor children.
Ah, well it was a thought...
this is a TOTALLY off the wall y'all will roast me on a spit guess.
ReplyDeleteAngelina Jolie. (i know i know....she's not unknown but doesn't enty sometimes disguise the clues a little?)
enty has 3 pics of her below this blind item, and pointedly mentions it.
but would jolie have to audition for roles?
I respectfully disagree with the coke mom 2 being just a sidekick. Another clue is that she's "had some very meaty roles." To me, that doesn't seem like the good ole' best friend.
ReplyDeleteThe C+,B- label combined with "know her instantly" seem like such a contradiction to me.
I stand by my Heather Locklear guess, but am still trying to think of others. Her bug-eyed mugshot haunts my brain. She definitely looked coked out in that one. And I use this theory as a test: If I placed Heather Locklear's pic in front of my parents or in-laws, they would surely say they've seen her before like in Dynasty or on Melrose, but odds are they probably wouldn't know her name right off the bat. But I know everybody my age (30s) would know her.
Heather by thy name - JoeSez not her. Well known.
ReplyDeleteWhat meaty roles has Heather had?
Her problems are well too publicized (IMHO) for her (at 48 years old) to land a role as a Lead in a popcorn flick.
Going out on a limb... Catherine Keener? She has a 10 year old, and she's divorced. I have no idea if she would be C/B, and I haven't heard anything about her off-screen personality, so I could be way off base.
ReplyDeletehas anyone guessed jessica alba for the original coke mom..recent pictures of her-I don't know, but something seems very, very off.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'll go with Locklear for this one. The clues are pretty vague.
People guess Jessica Alba for the original coke mom, but then it's pointed out that she matches exactly none of the clues. Her child is not old enough to imitate her snorting - when the first BI was published, Honor wasn't even walking. She wouldn't kill to be in the movies, Alba is basically exclusively movies now. Also? One of the coke mom clues is that her husband nearly left her - can anyone imagine Cash Warren walking away from Alba while she still earns money?
ReplyDeleteCoke Mom obviously isn't going to be walking a red carpet or giving interviews. If she's working she's no doubt cancelling interviews. Is there anyone other than Jessica Alba who is looking like crap lately? I could see Debra Messing on this one.
ReplyDeleteI like Heather Locklear, but has she done movies? She's really a TV actress. A very solid career with "meaty roles" and someone that you would know even if you don't know their name. In a movie that no one will see?
Still no clue.

"you would know her instantly even if you didn't know her name"
ReplyDeleteCheers - theme song - "where everybody knows your name"
maybe...Shelley Long?
How about Kirstie Alley? I thought of her for "meaty" (because she's fat!) and hadn't even thought of the Cheers connection.
ReplyDeleteHa! And she's even got a 2009 film, "Aunt Rita"!
ReplyDeleteOooh, and she's got a 15-year-old daughter and 17-year-old son! Sorry for the multiple posts, but I NEVER get these, and I feel like I cured cancer or something right now.
ReplyDeletelol rebecca!
ReplyDeleteHas Ashlee Simpson been ruled out as Coke Mom #1? I've always thought it was her, and she has recently appeared in a few pictures with huge pupils, looking very skinny and generally drugged out...
ReplyDeleteFor Coke Mom #2, I really like the Anne Heche guess. This is not just because she is bat-shit crazy, but I think she fits almost all of the clues we are given in this blind as well:
1) She a is C+/B- movie and television actress who's landed some meaty roles in Donnie Brasco, Psycho, Ally McBeal, Men in Trees, and now Hung;
2) She's divorced with a 7 year old son;
3) She's got a totally recognizable face but not the most famous name, despite the fact that she's had a very solid career working steadily in the business for almost 20 years;
4) According to IMDB, she stars in the new movie "Spread" with Ashton Kutcher, a film that I have never even heard of despite the fact that it's being released this weekend;
5) Her character in "Spread" is a middle aged lawyer dating a younger womanizer, and she has played the jilted middle aged lover/wife many times before.
It all adds up except for one potential discrepancy - it's implied that Coke Mom #2 only has one child but Anne Heche gave birth to a second son this spring. Do you think that would eliminate her?
I think Coke Mom #1 is an actress, not a singer, so that should rule out Ashleee.
ReplyDeleteAs for #2, how about Julianne Moore? "Meaty" made me think about Hannibal Lector.
Everyone knows Heather Locklear's name.
I like the Kirstie Alley guess but I can't see her landing a lead in a popcorn flick at her age and weight. And it's not just that she's heavy, but she's lost her looks. Popcorn flick means summer blockbuster (action?) movie to me, they cast young and beautiful women for the lead roles.
ReplyDeleteSo it has to be someone who has had a solid C+/B- career in movie and tv, but she's still young and pretty enough to be the lead in a popcorn flick. But she's in another movie (out now? "no one is going to see" -- that's a big clue, no?) playing the same role as always.
Wait a second... could Kirstie Alley have been up to play Julia Child in Julie & Julia?! Would they have wanted her before Meryl Streep?! That seems improbable, but intriguing...
I really like the Catherine Keener guess! She really fits these clues... meaty roles, physically recognizable even if you don't know her name, probably would have to audition for things outside of her normal fare, divorced, C+/B- fits, has older kid...
ReplyDelete"meaty roles" "know her name" Kirstie Alley?
ReplyDeleteFYI: Cocaine is a CNS stimulant, not a narcotic, therefore it would dilate the pupils, not cause miosis
ReplyDeleteI'm stumped.
ReplyDeleteNice job on the clues, Samtagious. Didn't Kirstie Alley have a pretty heavy coke addiction back in the day? But you would think the lead in a popcorn flick would mean a younger, thinner actress.
ReplyDeleteI have no clue...
what about jenna elfman for coke mom 1?
ReplyDeleteJaime Pressly's explanation for the alleged peeing incident...
ReplyDeletehttp://justjared.buzznet.com/2009/08/12/jaime-pressly-it-wasnt-pee/
do we believe it?
I thought the original blind on Coke Mom said she had a young son. I don't believe its Jessica Alba (she has a movie career, though not necessarily a good one) and Catherine Keener seems too old for the description plus, she seems to like the career she's carved out.
ReplyDeleteWhile she doesn't fit the profile (no child) I keep thinking that Coke Mom is someone like a Missi Pyle actress. She works a lot and when you see her in a movie or on television, you instantly go, "Oh, I know her!" but at the same time, can't actually recall her real name if pressed. I think the Coke Moms are someone like that, we know who they are when we see them in something, but they aren't the first ones to pop in our minds like the few who get named for everything it seems on these Blinds (Courtney, Debra, Angie, Jessica, et al).
Ah .robert - you beat me to it, I was just thinking Denise Richards.
ReplyDeleteAlright, alright, how about this: JENNY MCCARTHY.
