Ted C Blind Item
Be careful of a sweet young thing who looks supercute in a matching hair band:
As if ditching her poor PR boyfriend and leaving him out to dry wasn't conniving enough, it turns out sexually adventurous Blind Vice superstar Shafterella Shoshstein was selling out that cute romance partner of hers all along.
Shafterella had arranged to be her ex's publicity-only girlfriend (they were friends and both stars' agents thought it would be a good idea for their A-list careers), but planned all along to dump him. This would leave the world to wonder why the poor dude couldn't make a relationship with a woman work—and fuel gossip that he's gay.
Which, of course, he is, but that's beside the point.
How do we know S.S. had such an evil plan?
"She was with the boyfriend she's with now all along," says a source deep within the managerial machinations that put the two very beautiful stars in a relationship. "People think it just started after she broke up, but it didn't, the other guy was there all along—and they were very serious."
The dumped boyfriend, by the by, is furious with Shafterella for leaving him in a lurch. He knew people were suspecting his romance with Shoshstein was suspect to begin with, but when she reneged on their PR agreement to be romantically involved (for show), not only did she do it behind his back—and without warning—the dumpee had actually gone to great lengths to curb his own real-life love life, and to make the ersatz affair look as believable as possible.
Granted, this was one of the man's worst performances of his career, but let's put it this way: He's ultimately a nice guy and was doing his best to abide by the commitment he'd made to Shafterella, who was diddling somebody else off to the side the whole time, laughing and scheming all along.
Wonder when karma's gonna twist her little sweater set around her neck, already?
And what I want to know is why aren't there awards in this town for Best Fake Relationship?
Oh, forgot, there are: People magazine gives them out weekly.
And It Ain't: Miley Cyrus, Jessica Szohr, Michelle Williams
Easy Peasy.....REESE
ReplyDeleteUntil I got to "ultimately a nice guy" I thought this was Reese, but from what I hear, Toothy Tile is a jackass.
ReplyDeleteHmmm fake relationship, getting dumped, hmmm I know this can't be Reese, can it?
ReplyDeleteReece and Jake? "...twist her little sweater set..." But is she a sweet, young thing? She's a bit of a geezer these days, no? Also, the description doesn't really match. But the sweater set clue seems kind of blatant.
ReplyDeleteDemi Lovato?
ReplyDeleteOT--anybody see Bethenny's BS answers to Joy Behar about how she lost the baby weight?
ReplyDeleteI don;t follow this woman too closely but who except preemies or babies of smokers are bore at only 4 lbs. and some?
I was three months early and I still weighed 3 lbs and some!
I think she's a raging bulimic, and I don't give their marriage one year given the small amount I saw of their show last night. That poor man look absolutely lost last night!
It was pretty funny when she told him she was raised in a cave by wild animals, though.
(I'm sure Enty's gonna have a post about this later but I've been waiting all morning ovah heah on the EC for him to wake up and get rolling with the day's posts!)
sorry...I meant *born* (I, on the other hand, was NOT raised in a cave :) )
ReplyDeleteThe headband comments have me thinking that it's Leighton Meester.
ReplyDeleteI thought this would be Reese.
ReplyDeleteReese - headband and sweater set. Plus maybe she's learned a thing or two from her ex about giving the shaft.
ReplyDeleteMooshki - I've never heard TT was an ass. In fact, just the opposite. What have you heard?
ReplyDeleteWhile I think Reese/Jake fit I just don't see that their "relationship" ended abruptly, it lasted two years or more, and I've never seen any indication of her maintaining another relationship during that period.
ReplyDeleteI never get these things so I may be way off but the sweater set thing made me think of Jennifer Love Hewitt, she is always wearing those, and she just broke up with Jaime Kennedy who was with her on Ghost Whisperer.
ReplyDeleteDid Zac Efron and that other person break up?
ReplyDeleteReally, it is hard for me to believe that someone of Reese's caliber would have a publicity stunt boyfriend.
Sure does sound like Reese :-/
ReplyDeleteI've never "heard" that TT was an a$$ either.
I've been following this blind for a while now but fist time for me to comment. I can't believe how little the public knows about these fake personas... Reese you disappoint me greatly. I have sooo much more respect for phillipe now.
ReplyDelete*first
ReplyDeleteISN'T REESE OUT OF THIS AGE GROUP...I THINK SOMEONE YOUNGER...
ReplyDeletei thought demi lovato the entire time
ReplyDeletemy idea was Reese W but she's too older
ReplyDeleteWho's the girl that was dating one of the Jonas brothers?
ReplyDeleteReese W has been the long time guess for all the Shafterella blinds going back several years, so I guess I'll stick with Reese.
ReplyDeleteCan't be Reese because she doesn't fit in with the "And it Ain't"s.
ReplyDeleteAs for Bethany - she scheduled the C-section delivery so the baby wouldn't be carried to term - preventing her from getting too big, but late enough for the fetus to be safe. Pretty selfish thing to do.
Oh it's Reese for sure - everyone knows the ex was TT/Jake.
ReplyDeleteI can't say I'm really surprised, there have been rumours for YEARS that Ryan P wasn't the only guilty one in the breakup of their marriage - Reese was gettin' some on the side, too.
@Dawn-you'd be surprised at how many women schedule their c-sections like that. Dr. were previously telling women that at 37-38 weeks, as long as the lungs were good, it was fine. But there is emerging research that says even waiting until 38 weeks isn't good enough. Of course, if the baby comes early then whatever, but more doctors are making planned c-section mamas wait until at least 39 weeks. I could help but think how awesome her hubby was on that show, but I thought overall it was boring and stupid.
ReplyDeleteOh, one last thing, I think that her face was getting big due to pregnancy, it was all misshapen and bloated. But I do think she is probably bulimic.
OH! And I think the blind is Demi Lovato and that Jonas boy. The end.
I immediately thought the blind was about Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner. Damn, I never get these right! :-(
ReplyDeleteTaking a baby out before it's due to save body image?! What a selfish mother that must be right off the bat!
What about Taylor Swift and Taylor Lautner? Aside from the hair band reference, it all fits.
ReplyDeleteVote Flick!! Reese wore a headband and sweater thru out the movie Election.
ReplyDeleteI think the whole "contract relationship" is a figment of Ted C's mind.
ReplyDeleteI do not believe that goes on in Hollywood.
Think about it, Reese was an A lister before she got with Jake, why on Earth would she enter into a contract relationship? Thats just ignorant. She's A list! (Whether we like her or want to admit it, she is)
What would the goal be? To reach the AAAAA list?
She doesn't date around with a lot of people, she has had what, 2 relationships since she got divorced?
There is not a single reason she would have a contract relationship even if contract relationships DID exist.
But like everything else in the world, if you sit and think long enough, you can make something up.
I thought of Demi Lovato but in previous blinds i got the idea of someone older. Besides the head band remark made me think of gossip girl = someone young.
ReplyDeletei don't know how bethenny sneaked into this blind, but all you people who think she's bulimic? i think that's ridiculous.
ReplyDeletei don't know who this BI is about, but it never made sense to me that reese needed to fake a relationship for her career, or for his. i think ted sees gay people everywhere he looks is what i think.
Freakin' Ted has his panties in a bunch, as usual. Both stars agreed to have a fake publicity only relationship. Both stars had significant others outside the relationship. One star decided to opt out of the unconsummated non-marriage and she's the bad guy? Karma's gonna git her? For what? Take a midol, Ted.
ReplyDeleteThere's not that much cutesy & sweetsy matchy about Demi Lovato. She's a pretty emo metal girl with a big desperate toothy grin and a tough streak.
ReplyDeleteAlso...as bad as his performance as her boyfriend was...Joe Jonas (much as I love him and his fey ways) has still probably had worse acting performances in his recent history, lol.
I vote Reese & Jake...you have to think where it's coming from - Ted...he's been writing about her for years and thinking of her as her most famous incarnations. She's young to him.
And Shaftarella has a past of BVs dating back 2 years, referencing a majorly publicized relationship break that sounds mighty like Reese/Ryan: http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/the_awful_truth/b66521_one_sneaky_dame_blind_vice.html
Totally Reese. What I don't get is why she would want to be deliberatly mean to TT and why would she agree to this agreement if she was seeing someone else the whole time? I guess that makes sense why she is living with her "new" man so soon...he's not really new at all.
ReplyDeleteI do not/will not watch reality TV, but that Bethany Frankel lady is doing something unnatural to lose weight that fast. People really plan c-sections so early to avoid looking fat?!?!? Doctors should lose their license for doing that. It seems unethical to me!
sweater & headband sounds like Reese in "Election"
ReplyDeleteOh and Bethenny is disturbing...*shudder*
ReplyDeleteI think that Reese got talked into a fake relationship because they wanted to promote Jake's career/star status and keep him in the closet.
ReplyDeleteI bet they were supposed to stay together long enough to promote The Prince of Persia like a happy couple, but she called it quits early.
If you follow the time line back to when the Jake and Reese relationship started, and track Toothy and Shafterella during this period, you can totally do the parallel comparison. Everyone who has followed Ted's column (many of us for years now) knows Toothy is Jake and Shafterella is Reese. To me, the point of this BV was to let everyone know that Reese was the one who manipulated the breakup prior to the promotion of Prince of Persia; and, that Jake was limiting his time with Austin in order to live up to the fauxmance.
ReplyDeleteWhy would Reese enter into a fake relationship when she's A list? So she wouldn't be the next Jennifer Aniston with years and years of magazine covers asking if she would ever find love again. A fake relationship would take the pressure off.
ReplyDeleteIt's Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens for sure--did u see their faked kiss at the MTV movie awards? They wouldn't even kiss each other..something is going on there
ReplyDelete@Paisley, yes it is all about staying in the magazines to keep the Q scores up (it is Q, I think).
ReplyDeleteThat is why Oscar winner Marisa Tomai is nowhere near A list. Although it looks like she it trying to get work lately. I don't see how hanging out with Courtney Love helps that though!
Definitely thought of Reese for this. Not sure how the other ain'ts fit in, but Michelle was in Brokeback Mountain with Jake.
ReplyDeleteBeing with another star keeps her relevant, and keeps pressure off from the tabloids about her real relationship after her divorce from Ryan.
Little Miss, I haven't heard anything really bad about him, I just think from the way he treats Austin and the way he uses girls who aren't in on the joke the way Reese was that he cares more about being famous than he does about people.
ReplyDeleteFNM, I saw that...it was almost as awkward as Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie way back when...*L*
ReplyDeleteMiley Cyrus - Disney star (Prince of Persia connection)
ReplyDeleteJessica Szhor - Gossip Girl is on the same network (CW) as One Tree Hill, which stars Jake's rumored boyfriend, Austin Nichols.
Michelle Williams - in Brokeback Mountain with Jake.
Reese FTW
Jessica, I bet you're too young to remember Rock Hudson. He even got married because it was good PR for him.
ReplyDeleteTo echo what a few others have already said about contract relationships and why Reese would need one - first, yes, there are a lot of these contract deal going on in Hwood all the time. PR people get paid to try and pair up people who make headlines.
ReplyDeleteAs for Reese specifically, I remember hearing somewhere (couldn't tell you the source at this point) that the Jake thing was definitely to keep the tabs from doing a "Poor Little Sad Divorcee" thing on her ala Jen Aniston. And if you've read/heard anything about RW over the years, it's that she is a major Type A control freak. She's said as much herself. Her production company is called Type A Films. This is someone who choreographs every single little detail of her celeb persona, for sure.
And Ted also insinuated that she wanted to make sure not to appear the cheater/bad guy in her divorce, either (though she was?)...and make sure to shift all the negative attention to dopey Ryan.
ReplyDeletebeen lurking for years but never commented. i just have to on this one.
ReplyDeletealso in common with reese:
-miley is from nashville
-jessica is/was dating someone suspected of being gay (at one point at least)
-michelle is tiny and blond
i know someone who grew up with reese in nashville. reese went out of her way to make this girl's life hell at school. she was a bully. her sweet all-american girl act is fake, ya'll.
what i don't understand, however, is how a contract relationship worked around reese's kids. it seems like they were too young to be in on it without slipping up. so were they duped into thinking jake would one day be their stepdad?
I originally thought Taylor Swift and Tayler Lautner while reading the blind, but after reading the comments, going to have to go with Reese. Jake did seem genuinely surprised she dumped him, but certainly not heartbroken.
