Today's Blind Items
This actress is C list through and through. She does movies and has been in some huge ones and she has done television and been in a huge series. Not the star, but not just a one line thing either. You would recognize her but probably wouldn't know her name. Anyway, last week she called the fire department to her home. An actual home because she has family money. She told the department that someone had dropped a cigarette in the sofa and it caught on fire. When the results didn't match what she claimed, she finally admitted she and two friends had been freebasing coke and that is what torched almost her entire living room.
Maybe the woman that played Janice in Friends?
ReplyDeleteWhoa! Spring Fevah has apparently struck in LaLa Land.
ReplyDeleteEnty's blinds are juicier and juicier every day!
Samaire Armstrong?
ReplyDeleteat least she had the senses to call the department
ReplyDeletethe gal on 24?
ReplyDeletedon't remeber her name
Conchata Ferrell ???
ReplyDeleteRashida Jones has done good tv and film work. She might have gotten a trust fund from dad Quincy.
ReplyDeleteLove the Rashida guess. She was on The Office. She was in I Love You, Man.
ReplyDeleteShe has family money...
Michelle Rodriguez
ReplyDeleteAnother guess: Kate Mara. She was in Entourage and 24, plus Brokeback Mountain. Her grandparents own the NY Giants franchise.
ReplyDeleteI hope like hell this isn't Judy Greer... but it's who I thought of immediately. Not sure about family money though.
ReplyDeleteOh, I like the Kate Mara guess! She doesn't seem like the drug type but we know looks can be deceiving, don't we? *L*
ReplyDeleteI think people do know Rashida Jones by name.
Melissa McCarthy! Gilmore Girls (huge series?) & Samantha Who. Small roles in Private Practice + The Back-up Plan...
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure about family money, but her cousin is Jenny McCarthy (according to Wikipedia).
Jess-are you in my brain? She was my first thought also! :)
ReplyDeleteAllison Janney popped into my mind, or someone of that ilk.
ReplyDeleteJust use of the term "freebasing" is screaming *older person* to me because the youngies only know about, or how to, smoke crack.
I think only we oldies would even know how the hell TO freebase. Crack wasn't invented til long after college for me.
But what the hell do I know? lol

ReplyDeleteThis could be one of maybe 50 actresses. How can we possibly guess?
ReplyDeleteEnty, throw us a clue, man.
Conchata Ferrell was in some huge movies including Edward Scissorhands and Erin Brockovich. She plays Berta the housekeeper on Two and a Half Men. Solid C-List, but not easy to name. I can't fit the family money clue.
ReplyDeleteNot Rashida. She's not C list "through and through" because she gets leading roles and/or 2nd billing. C list is further down the scale than that in minor roles. Not Karen on The Office, Ann on Parks&Rec or Zoey in I Love You Man.
ReplyDeleteBesides who probably wouldn't know her by name? Especially here where people think she's Enty's spy.
Maybe Lake Bell?
This is easy....Betty White or Bea Arthur. On the other hand it could be Susie Essman of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
ReplyDelete@charlie: i'm with you! LOL
ReplyDelete@selenakyle, I think you're bang on with the older comment. I've done my share of coke and I had to google how to freebase after reading this BI.
ReplyDeleteNo idea on a guess, but it should be someone slightly older...
Rachel Bilson. She has family money, and I've heard rumors that she isn't the goody two shoes she wants people to think she is.
ReplyDelete@selenakyle LOL...I must be old. I didn't have to look up freebasing.
ReplyDelete@sunnyside...I didn't have to look it up either. My first thought was Richard Pryor.
ReplyDeleteAmy Locane
ReplyDeleteWhat about Mila Kunis?
ReplyDeleteShe's been in 70's show, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Max Payne, etc.
Don't know about family money, but could be referring to her bf Macaulay Culkin?
And she's in the Randoms pics.
ReplyDeleteAnyone else remember Topher Grace's character introducing freebasing to Erika Christenson's character in Traffic? Introduced it to a whole new generation.
ReplyDeleteWhy isn't there a public record of this? Wouldn't the person be arrested for torching their house while freebasing?
ReplyDeleteI don't think this could be Mila Kunis. Her family were Rusian immigrants who came here with little money. I like the Rachel Bilson guess, but how about somebody in a Hollywood family? Enough family connections to get the foot in the door, but not enough for real stardom yet.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a Hey, It's that Guy?
ReplyDeleteMight be on this list

Hm...I don't even know what freebasing coke means...Guess I'm lucky that I don't know =)
ReplyDeleteDebi Mazar?
ReplyDeleteKate Bosworth?
ReplyDeleteLacey Chabert?
ReplyDeleteIf were going for older I just hope it's not Holland Taylor. I like her alot even if she is in that show with the shmuck.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love her (Holland Taylor's) personal quote :
ReplyDelete"I'm just cutting a swath of bitchiness through the world!"
Conchetta Ferrell is morbidly obese ( I love the woman, but she is). I highly doubt her being someone who freebases cocaine)
ReplyDeletemaybe I am naive, but I think it is a young dumbass.
what about shannon elizabeth? i know she owns her own home in los feliz. was in american pie and that 70s show.
ReplyDeleteas for conchata- i know her personallty and laughed out loud to the thought of that. no way, it's so not who she is.
**i know conchatta personally. that's what i meant.
ReplyDeleteI don't know Camille Mitchell personally - but she's got family money.
ReplyDeleteClues in favour:
* family money - meat packing (the Mendel / Mitchell family from Canada)
* apparently lives in LA or LA area
* IMDB filmography - lots of TV
Maybe:
* Smallville is probably the biggest series she was in, but is it a "huge" show?
* she was the Sheriff in Smallville - "you would probably recognize her"
* maybe she is C list, certainly no higher, maybe lower? - "C list through and through"
Not:
* IMDB filmography - not enough films, certainly not "huge" films
* no reason for anyone to be interested in her for a blind
Lack of information:
* no idea about her friends and their lifestyles

Alexandra Wentworth.
ReplyDelete(Or maybe Clea Duvall.)
@patricia good luck in school- follow the dream :)
ReplyDeletehehe, I also have no idea how to freebase coke, maybe it really is a generation thing?
ReplyDeleteThe problem with this is that Enty says already that "you would recognize her but probably wont know her name"
to me that implys that any name that immediatly springs to mind would be too high up there for someone stocically Clist.
This is hard, but now I have learned how to freebase coke, so still a win!
umm, I hope that didnt sound as though I am off to freebase coke, now that i have this info. lol
ReplyDeleteJennifer Coolidge? She was in American Pie and Friends - both huge.
ReplyDeleteCat, meet pigeons.
To me "you would recognize her but probably wouldn't know her name" rules out about 90% of these guesses. It's gotta be a character actress type and probably older.
ReplyDeleteJennifer Coolidge is a good one for the career part (Legally Blonde movies were huge too). Dunno if she comes from money though. Ditto Judy Greer.
Illeana Douglas? She's got famous grandparents and is mid-forties.
What about Jordana Brewster?
ReplyDeleteRich, elite East Coast family. Father investment banker, grandfather President of Yale. Grew up on NYC's Upper East Side going to expensive schools.
In Fast and the Furious, The Faculty, As the World Turns, Chuck etc.
I feel like people would know her face/work but not necessarily her name. Rashida is a good guess but she's well known and not a stranger to this blog. Enty would assume we know her (18 tagged entries, apparently a friend/client). FWIW Jordana has 0 tags.
This one is tough!
ReplyDeleteI hope it's not Rachel Bilson. Summer Roberts would never freebase coke.
@RocketQueen - Samaire Armstrong is a great guess. I had to google the name, and now that I have the face, she actually popped into my mind whle reading the BI. I was thinking one of the girls from the OC because it was such a huge hit. This very well could be her...
And my two cents about the age; I think this may be someone younger. Enty says: "An actual home because she has family money".. This, to me, implies someone younger who necessarily wouldn't have a nice home in L.A., but with family money she is able to...And, who knows who the 2 friends are?? They could've been older??
Imma second Rockets guess:
Samaire Armstong FTW
I've come lately to this blind, so probably no one will read this, but for what it's worth:
ReplyDeleteHow about Mary Crosby? She's was on Dallas. Hell, SHE shot J.R.!! Doesn't get much more huge than that. Being Bing's daughter she'd have family money. And while lots of people might recognize her face they wouldn't necessarily know her name. Not sure about her movie credits, though.
Then there's Janine Turner, although I'd say that she's a B-list. But she's been in a big show with "Northern Exposure". And her family is loaded, big time. She had a small part in Steel Magnolia's which was a big hit.
Does Brenda Strong (Sue Ellen Minksey from "Seinfeld) come from money? She's also the voice of the dead woman on "Desparate Housewives". I don't know about her movies.
I agree with the person above who said Judy Greer...she was the first person to come to my mind as well.
ReplyDeleteMary Crosby may not have family money. Der Bingle was known to be very stingy and left all the money in a trust that they couldn't touch until they were 65. Der Bingle was not the nice guy he portrayed in the movies.
ReplyDeletelove the Mazar guess!

ReplyDeleteI think I like the Jordana Brewster guess... Makes sense to me.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Morena Baccarin? Family money (mom is a Brazilian actress, Dad works in TV news). She's been everywhere.
ReplyDeleteI love the C-list blinds because all the answers are people whose names make me say "Huh? Who? What? Huh?"
ReplyDeleteParis Hilton? for some reason she just fit this one. (she was in that reality series oh god wtf was the name....with nicole ritchie? has family money... I know it's a long shot)
ReplyDeleteI still like my Alexandra Wentworth guess, LOVE the Jordana Brewster suggestion, and would like to add Mercedes McNab to the list.
ReplyDelete@ rdmtimp Good to know. I love her Seinfeld character. I just threw her name out there because she's been a small part of lots of big things, and everyone knows her face and/or voice, but not her name. I lean more toward the Janine Turner guess anyway. Although she's probably too well-known.
ReplyDelete@ Amy - I've heard some of the Bing stories. Quite the hardass, but I've also heard that Mary was his favorite. Wonder if he left her better off than his other children?
Laura Flynn Boyle

Elisabeth Reaser, she's in twilight and did like a season long spot on Grey's anatomy and her step dad is a billionaire
