BuzzFoto Blind Item

This celebrity that everyone loves (including many actresses) has been famous for so long, he is out of touch with the real world. He has gotten so used to not talking to ‘regular’ people, he doesn’t know how to do it. During a recent holiday weekend which most of his staff had off, he had some problems with his cable. When the cable man came to the door, our star literally did not know how to communicate with him. He stood at the doorway stammering, and then expected the cable man to know what to do automatically. Finally he got upset, cursed at the man and yelled, “Hold up a minute, I’m not good with people.” He punched a number in his cellphone and had a man on the phone explain to the cable guy what the problem was and what he needed to do.

Not John Mayer.

  2. i have no idea, but how exactly do you "forget" how to talk to "regular people?"

    i mean don't you communicate the same way with everyone, you know by opening your mouth and forming words which form sentences?

    wtf.

  3. Nikki, I worked for an electrical engineer who was the department director. He could only speak to people when it came to his specialty. He was incapable of speaking on the phone.

    That being said, how is John Mayer a celebrity that everyone loves??

    A celebrity that everyone loves is more like Tom Hanks, but Tom is very articulate.

  4. @Nikki

    Exactly.

    Maybe Pacino, he seems out of it lately, and has been walking around looking like a HOBO.

  5. Please reveal this one Enty.

  6. Not Pacino -- he's a Method actor and a mensch. He'd invite the guy in, chat with him, follow him around, assess his behaviors and bond with him for future roles.

    I love this BI, though. It's so much better than the one about that slob Noth below. BTW, Noth's babymamma had been with him for a long time and knew exactly what she was getting into.

    Many entertainers suffer from bouts of depression when they are not engaged in a project. I have also thought Pacino was this way, but he's such a left field kind of guy.

  8. Asperger's People have trouble with this. But I don't know of any actor that is autistic or has Aspergers.

  9. Oh Enty, please let this be revealed!

    Honestly though, this doesn't surprise me too much. I mean, it's not like the guy did anything wrong per se. At least not compared to the other blinds.

    I'm just super curious to see who it is. Please reveal???

  10. I kind of agree with the folks above who think the celeb in this case has some sort of personality disorder that is masked by the fact that he is surrounded by handlers most of the time. Probably a lot more serious than a case of "big head".

  11. it doesn't say this guy's an actor. and the 'not john mayer' suggests to me it's not.

    but just as an aside, nicholson is horrible in interviews. he's the most inarticulate person i've ever seen. he just is a horrible interview subject. i think some really good actors are like that---they're just vague real people, and find a 'self' in their roles.

    have no idea who this is.

  12. This is a Buzzfoto blind, not one of ENTy's, it won't be revealed unless Buzzfoto reveals it.

    That said, I would love to know who it is.

    Reminds me of people that I know that have PH.D's LOL.

    ReplyDelete
  14. not Beatty-talked to him last year with Annette at event and totally down to earth

    ReplyDelete
  15. Dang...no reveal on this one.

    ReplyDelete
  16. Sylvia, I know, right? I still remember having to explain to a Ph.D. at my job how to put a stamp on a letter to mail it.

    ReplyDelete
  17. And hey, couldn't Enty give us his "guess" for the blinds that aren't his? I bet he has a pretty good idea who most of these are.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Blind Gossip always knows the answer. So Mooshki, I think you are probably right about this.

    ReplyDelete
  19. There is a clue here: "This celebrity that everyone loves"...don't think so BUT Ray Romano?

    ReplyDelete
  20. Someone on Gawker guessed Woody Allen. I like that guess, except that I would think he would have his daughter-wife talk to the cable guy.

    ReplyDelete
  21. it is very difficult to be good with people. some people are just lousy - no matter if they are "regular" or "sublime".

    i have a hard time with people and especially technology related things. this could be anyone and is not too shocking. if anything i feel bad for the guy - i know how frustrating it is. and i am no celebrity.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Russell Brand. Celebrity on different levels (comic, actor, etc.), big reputation as a playboy, and from the looks of him a heavy drug user which wouldn't help with communication.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I think "Celebrity" and "John Mayer" are clues that point to a non-actor. More likely another rocker who is loved but dates a lot of actresses.
    That said, I have no guesses.

    ReplyDelete
  24. George Clooney?

    I like the Woody Allen guess more, though.

    ReplyDelete
  25. jim carrey? he was in "the cable guy"

    ReplyDelete
  26. Oh, I like the Prince guess.

    ReplyDelete
  27. My first thought was Jack Nicholson because of the "many actresses love him" comment but then I remembered reading a blind about Alec Baldwin that he literally is never around "regular people" so there for as no idea how to talk to them. So I think I'll go with Baldwin (Alec) even though I don't think there are many actresses who like him at all lol.

  28. richie sambora (dated actresses, popular, musician like john mayer)

    ReplyDelete
  29. I was thinking Jim Carrey too. He has dated many actresses (Lauren Holly, Squinty Z, Jenny McCarthy).

    ReplyDelete
  30. I like the Jim Carrey guess. I think he is batshit crazy.

    ReplyDelete
  31. The Carrey guess is really good.

    ReplyDelete
  32. The Carrey guess is really good.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Timberlake?
    Been with Milano, Diaz, Biel.
    Same league as Mayer

    ReplyDelete
  34. Carey is a really good guess. He's always been a little strange and he's dated lots of actresses

    ReplyDelete
  35. Maybe he was just high.

    ReplyDelete
  36. I like the Prince guess. He won't even speak to other movie or rock stars.

    My other guess would be Rod Stewart.

    ReplyDelete
  37. OMG I can't imagine it being Carrey -- I mean the guy came from working class and on top of that one thing the guy can do is communicate. Off the wall, sure. But whatever it is he wants to get across, he can get across. (And he WAS the Cable Guy, I mean, come on.) I'm thinking it's someone more like -- I don't know, Brad Pitt? (In a foreign country literally not able to communicate to the cable guy? I don't know. I just think it's someone smoother than Carrey who you're not expecting.)

    ReplyDelete
  38. Alex Rodriguez?

    ReplyDelete
  39. So he can communicate with other celebs but not regular people??? Sounds like some kind of disorder. And agreed, Nikki - WTF

    ReplyDelete
  40. i'd go with timberlake if it said that he called his mommy like on Punk'd.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Prince is a GREAT guess. I can totally see this being him.

    ReplyDelete
  42. (I went to high school with his half-brother, and he said Prince never visited him or their mom, and one of my teachers taught him in high school and said he spent all his time playing instruments [he played over 20 of them!] instead of with his classmates.)

    ReplyDelete
  43. My cousin worked a as roadie for some big acts and did a very short stint with Prince. Said he was a complete a hole.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Pacino is a very personable guy. Very easy to talk to.

    I have no idea who it is (how about Christopher Walken?), but I know people in all walks of life who are like this. The director Dan Curtis' wife used to call his office to have his writing staff call and order pizza for her. lol

    I know it's not based on the "actresses love him" but after reading Rolling Stone's interview with Jay-Z, I'd almost think it was him. Someone puts his shoes on for him!!!!

    I could see a Chappelle Show sketch of Prince dealing with ordinary day to day activities. That would be hilarious.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Not Alec Baldwin. He works out at the gym I work at and he couldn't be nicer and more chatty to the clients. Not out of touch with people at all.
