Today's Blind Items
I don't really like to name my blind items. I hate anything that makes me sound like Ted C. Oh sure there is Coke Mom and The Director's Wife. I have missed stories about her, but there is a reason. Just cannot say because then it would give it away.
Anyway, today, I wanted to call this something like, "If she only knew." Within the past five days this B+ movie actress who started on television and has hit the cusp of A list a few different times was on the red carpet with her nemesis. The thing is our B+ actress ("No Clue")has no clue about her nemesis. The nemesis ("Nemesis") is a C lister who has aspirations of higher lists but no one can stand her once they spend more than five minutes with her so that is probably not going to happen. Anyway, in the past the nemesis hit on No Clue's ex boyfriend who is also a B list movie actor who was in one of my favorite movies of all time. Hit on him hard. Hit on him so hard that they ended up f**king for three days straight at a hotel. No Clue knew about the cheating because he is a serial cheater but had no idea about Nemesis. Fast forward a few years and Nemesis has tried on two different occasions to hit on No Clue's husband who is also an actor. Nemesis has hit on him hard. Done everything possible, but so far he has resisted. The thing is, this is not a coincidence. Nemesis is bitter about a role that she thinks No Clue stole from her which made No Clue a star and Nemesis still clawing her way up the ladder.
No Clue thinks Nemesis is her friend. Nemesis wants it that way so she can stay close and keep trying to screw over No Clue anyway she can.
wow...makes me glad I'm a nobody with pretty much nothing. ha...
ReplyDeleteI was going down the Winona / Gwyneth train, but did Winona start on tv?
ReplyDeleteOhhh this is good, ok, let get Scooby and the gang on this and BRB
ReplyDeleteJen and Ben, maybe. Former boyfriend that guy from Alias? No clue about Nemesis.
ReplyDeletehaha didn't realize I typed no clue!! : )
ReplyDeleteWHOA. I love braintwisting blinds that are still fairly understandable! :-)
ReplyDeleteI have NO, um, clue who No Clue might be, but how about Olivia Wilde as the Nemesis? She certainly doesn't seem to pal around with many girlfriends, and she's had two movies come out in the past few weeks.
Oh, and I think that The Director's Wife is totally Kate Beckinsale. SPILL IT, Enty!
I like the Ben/Jen guess with Vartan being the boyfriend but would Ben ever turn down a free lay??? I mean he definitely did not turn down Blake Lively
ReplyDeleteJennifer Garner was my first guess for No Clue as well. but has she been on any red carpets lately?
ReplyDeleteEnty could it be we have not heard about the Director's Wife because she was/is with child and/or just gave birth recently?? OH LOOKIE HERE GRETCHEN MOL JUST HAD A SON IN FEBRUARY, WINK WINK lol
ReplyDeleteWas JLo up for Garner's role on Alias? (Just imagining JLo in that role makes me laugh)
ReplyDeleteOoh, juicy! Looking forward to guesses cause I got nothin!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm also on the Gretchen Mol train for the Director's Wife - in fact, wasn't it kind of revealed?
I think these two are older than the new batch of hollywood babies running amuck
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking Gwenn and Wy
They say Jen Garner is pregnant again...
ReplyDeleteCan't be Gwyneth (did you see that recent ridiculous interview with her?) - I don't think she got her start on television and I don't think she and Wy are friends anymore.
ReplyDelete*slaps forehead*
ReplyDeleteHOW could I have forgotten about Gretchen? I guess there have been so many blinds about her from so many outlets that she's basically been outed. I didn't even consider her. D'oh!
I still don't like Beckinsale one bit, though.
Garner hasn't been on any carpets lately, and I'm with the person who doubts whether Ben is capable of resisting temptation. Enty gave us a REALLY specific timeline -- within the past five days. That really narrows it down.
As long as Mila Kunis has nothing to do with this, I'll accept any possible guesses. ;-)
Have we not heard about directors wife because she is no longer a directors wife?
ReplyDeleteOoooh, juicy! I look forward to guesses too as I have not a clue just yet!
ReplyDeleteWhat is one of Enty's favorite movies?
ReplyDeleteThis person seems like an above average psychopath. January reveals are too far away!
ReplyDelete"All About Eve"
ReplyDeletewe need to look for pics of two gals together on the red carpet in the last 5 days...he says they were together...
ReplyDeleteDitto lesliet. Clare Danes was on the red carpet recently. Married, got her start on television. Wouldn't say she was on the cusp of A list, though. And who would the boyfriend and Nemesis be?
ReplyDeleteWouldn't Clare Danes be the nemesis? Exhibit: Mary Louise Parker and Billy Crudup.
ReplyDeleteBut Mary Louise Parker didn't get her start in TV, and she's not married now, is she? Billy Crudup was in Almost Famous, though, and would be a B list movie actor, no?
ReplyDeleteLove the Claire Danes/Billy Crudup/ Hugh Dancy Guess.
ReplyDeleteAccording to IMDB Alicia Silverstone was considered for the role of Angela Chase http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108872/trivia
It would be ironic if "No Clue"'s nemesis was the star of Clueless
Jennifer Garner was on the red carpet for a BAFTA thing a in early July, but I don’t know if there was anything more recent…
ReplyDeletePeople associated with roles that Jennifer Garner won:
Jolene Blalock and Neve Campbell auditioned for Elektra in Daredevil (was that really a star-making role, though?? ha)
Gwyneth Paltrow, Hilary Swank and Renée Zellweger were all consisdered for the lead in 13 Going on 30 - but they seem to be doing ok for themselves...
Jenna Fischer auditioned for the role of Sydney Bristow on Alias - but does she seem like the man-stealing type?
Alicia Silverstone is married with a kid, so if it's her/Claire Danes that's even worse!
and Alicia Silverstone just had the kid, like 11 weeks ago. not sure if it's her.
ReplyDeleteI don't believe this is Jennifer G, though it's a good guess because she started on TV and is now B+...almost an A at times. Ben cheats on her all the time with everyone and anyone...so I don't think he'd say no to a single woman, friend or no friend.
ReplyDeleteDon't think it's Gwyneth/Wynona. They're not friends at all and don't even speak. They haven't been friends for years and years.
I could see January Jones as Nemesis (especially with the "no one can stand her once they spend more than five minutes with her"). Has she been on a red carpet lately?
ReplyDeleteSarah Michelle Rice Jr and Bilson.....was she considered for Buff?
ReplyDelete*Prince
ReplyDeleteBack the truck up to Claire Danes -- doesn't she have an unpleasant rep for man-stealing/diff. to work with, yaddayadda?
ReplyDeleteI think No Clue is Sarah Michelle Gellar. Got her start on TV, "Buffy" made her nearly A-list, then she had those I Know What U Did movies. She's married to another actor (Freddie Prinze Jr), now has a new show this Fall.
ReplyDeleteNot sure who Nemesis is, but for some reason I'm thinking Michelle Trachtenburg. She was also on "Buffy", no one likes her, C list, etc.
I think No Clue is Sarah Michelle Gellar and Nemesis is Rachel Bilson (sp?)
ReplyDeleteRandom photos have a pic with the two of them and the caption says Rachel is getting cozy with a "REAL STAR" which could be a clue.. (SMG being the B+ that C Nemesis wants to be..)
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteBilson and SMG are too far apart in age and experience. SMG was already a "star" before Bilson was out of high school; her first IMDB credit wasn't until 2003. SMG hasn't done much since Buffy, so I don't think it's them. These two are going to be closer in age or at least have some decent credited roles in the same time frame. As for the Trachtenberg guess, that makes sense, but who would the B list BF have been? SMG has been with Freddie P forever.
ReplyDeleteI love the Claire Danes/Hugh Dancy/Billy Crudup guess, just can't figure out who Nemesis could be...It's def not Claire Danes as Nemesis and Mary Louise Parker if you guys are thinking MLP as No Clue/CD as Nemesis, seeing as that cheating was out in the open. Everyone knows, including MLP. It says No Clue doesn't know about the cheating with Nemesis.
ReplyDeleteI'm with spacecowboy about Sarah Michelle Gellar. Who would the ex-boyfriend be? I can't remember her dating anybody besides Freddie...
Hm, I thought Smidge dated Jerry O'Connell? It might've been very brief, though.
ReplyDeleteThe only one that makes sense there is Billy Crudup as B lister with cheating rep. I don't think Claire Danes is B+, and has been cusp of A. I'd say B-, been cusp of B+, and that was 10+ years ago. Also, I agree with Jamee; even if MLP didnt know, CD isn't C list, and MLP and CD too far in age and experience to bear a grudge for a lost star making role. I'd say these are going to be two late 20's - late 30 somethings.
ReplyDeleteMary Louise Parker actually got her start on All My Children...
ReplyDeletei kind of think it's garner here
ReplyDeleteNo Clue = Olivia Wilde?
ReplyDeleteNemesis = Blake Lively?
What about Jen Garner for No Clue with Keri Russell for the Nemesis? I've heard (or read) JJ Abrams say Sydney Bristow came from the idea of "what if Felicity was a spy?". Maybe Keri feels she lost that role to Jen? Keri hasn't done too much since Felicity (at least nothing major).
ReplyDeleteLeslie Mann; Olivia Wilde? at the change up permiere. leslie dated jim carrey who is a total cheater and judd apatow seems like a stand up guy who is married to leslie
ReplyDeleteEnty said this happened in the past 5 days/ What movies have had premieres in the past 5 days? "Apes" And "Change Up."
ReplyDeleteMila Kunis and Blake Lively!
ReplyDeleteJust kidding, wanted to throw something else out there. No way is this Gwen or Jen - doesn't fit either of them.
I thought about Jen Garner too, with the husband being Affleck and the ex being Michael Vartan, but is Michael Vartan 1. B list (think C+ probably) and 2. a known serial cheater (never heard anything)?
ReplyDeleteSMG= no clue
ReplyDeleteJennifer Love Hewitt= Nemesis.
Proof:
1: the hint in the photos
2. J. Love is known to be crazy (boy as well as a little off her rocker). I could totally see her auditioning for a part and then blaming SMG for getting the part.
3. They've known each other for years.
I think it's SMG and Michelle T. Michelle is known to be difficult to deal with on set, so she's a ringer for Nemesis.
ReplyDeleteWho's the boyfriend, though?
Jaiden, Michelle T certainly sucks, and Freddie P is known to be a stand up guy who'd reject her, but upon review the star making role would have to be Buffy. MT was 12 when it debuted, so I'd have to doubt it. Also, other than the teen set, was SMG ever close to A list? This is a tough one.
ReplyDeleteThe photo of SMG and RB was taken on Wednesday, August 3, at the TCA Party. I don't think Michelle T was at the same red carpet event. Jerry O'Connell, who was in Stand By Me, is SMG's ex boyfriend.
ReplyDeleteDang, I clearly have too much free time today.
I think keri's pregnant again and pretty happy doing her indie movie/Brooklyn lifestyle kind of thing.
ReplyDeleteBetty White for Nemesis? LMAO!!!!
ReplyDeleteSince SMG/Jerry O'Connel/and Freddie Prinze all seem to fit, according to IMDB other people who auditioned for Buffy but didn't get the role:
ReplyDeleteSelma Blair (who just popped out a baby but I think is still friends with SMG)
Katie Holmes
Julie Benz (is she C-list? Does Dexter put her up there)
Charisma Carpenter (who still works pretty regularly but is definitely not super famous).
Michael Vartan is recently married. Keri Russell was already famous from Felicity when JJ Abrams was creating Alias. JJ considered Jen Garner because she had a bit part on Felicity.
ReplyDeleteThe chick from the Office (Pam) was up for the role of Alias from Garner. However, Garner got it, and chick from office says she's glad, as she got to sit behind a desk, and not have to do all those stunts.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was SMG and Freddie Prinze Jr too. I just didn't really think it with J Love. Could be wrong though. She has something consistently wrong with her.
ReplyDeleteSMG fits. Nemesis needs to be someone she has been on the red carpet with in the last 5 days. The TCA CBS event was yesterday, and SMG was there. Other females in attendance from what I can see: Claire Danes, Rachel Bilson, Jamie King, Emmy Rossum and Kristen Bell.
ReplyDeleteWas the part that shot SMG to stardom Buffy or her role on All My Children (she won at least one award for that one)?
"The nemesis ("Nemesis") is a C lister who has aspirations of higher lists" (...) "Nemesis is bitter about a role that she thinks No Clue stole from her which made No Clue a star and Nemesis still clawing her way up the ladder".
ReplyDeleteThat means Nemesis have never been bigger than C list. So, not Jennifer Love Hewitt, Michelle T, Keri Russell, Blake Lively, Claire Danes or Alicia Silverstone. The only one mentioned that fits is Rachel Bilson.
Oh, I am SO on board with SMG as No Clue, particularly since I just googled her dating history, and guess who popped up?
ReplyDeleteDavid frickin' Boreanaz. He and SMG were involved for two years, supposedly. A known douchebag cheater?Yep!
And I can also see JLH for the Nemesis -- both she and SMG were teen stars in the nineties, but SMG was EVERYWHERE for a while, seemingly, and critics loved her on Buffy. That role definitely made her career skyrocket.
Also, I fucking loathe Jennifer Love Useless, and I can *totally* picture her being the sort of vengeful scumrag who would do this.
Is SMG still considered a "B+ movie actress" though? I'd say C+\B- movie\TV with A list name recognition. not to beat a dead horse, but Rachel Bilson is too young for this to have been her pre Freddie Prinze.
ReplyDeleteI have no freaking clue who this could be and I'm too lazy to do research but I REALLY REALLY hope this is revealed. So juicy with a few twists love it!
ReplyDeleteEliminate Goopy and Leslie Mann b/c the current husband of No Clue is an actor.
ReplyDeleteNo Clue = B+ list movie actress who started on tv.
Nemesis = C lister (never higher) who lost star making role to No Clue in past.
Ex-BF of No Clue = B list actor
Current Husband of No Clue = actor (list not given.)
As much as it pains me to say this...I don't think Jennifer Love Hewitt qualifies as longtime C list. Ghost Whisperer put her higher (at least while it was on.) Blech.
ReplyDeleteUm, Rachel Bilson was actually on an episode of Buffy. She was a slayer in Season 7, though she's only on screen briefly once or twice. Joss Whedon often put people in the show who had auditioned for the role of Buffy (Charisma, Harmony, "Anne"), so it's possible...
ReplyDeletelet's leave ms. jenna fischer out of this! she's way too pregnant to try and steal some guy away anyways.
ReplyDeleteIs Megan Fox still B+?
ReplyDeleteIf so, maybe:
No Clue=Megan Fox
Hubby=BAG
Ex-BF=Shia LaDouche
Nemesis=???
Wow... This seems like it should be so easy, but I just draw blanks :( This is juicy as hell. I so hope he reveals this.
ReplyDeleteI like the SMG route, since she dated David Boreanaz, who's not exactly been known for his ability to keep it in the pants, and Freddie Prinze is mean to be a stand-up kind of guy.
ReplyDeleteSo, that leaves Nemesis. Umm...Selma Blair was considered for Buffy? But she was pregnant for what seemed like forever.
Beyond that, most people who auditioned for the part wound up on the show, which would make her being friends with Nemesis make sense. Let's see...there was Charisma Carpenter, Mercedes McNab, Elizabeth Anne Allen, and Julia Lee...but like...are any of them even c-list? I give up.
many have called out Rachel Bilson as a possibility for the nemesis--how about Kristen Bell as the no clue B lister
ReplyDeleteKristen Bell is not married, and he long-time ex was a producer, not an actor.
ReplyDeleteI'm on board with Claire Danes as No Clue.
ReplyDeleteShe had a cheating ex - Billy Crudup (who was in Almost Famous, Sleepers and Watchmen which could all be potential favourite films for men). She is married to Hugh Dancy, an actor. She started in TV, she's been in enough films over the years to qualify as B+ and lets not forgot she was in Romeo + Juliet which was MASSIVE in its time and definitely put her on the cusp of A list. Its probably also the role her nemesis wanted, although IMDB only spits out names of people higher than C list - SMG, JLH, Natalie Portman, Alicia Silverstone. She was on the red carpet at the CBS Summer party in the past few days, but the only person from that list that fits is SMG and shes higher than C list. Also I dont buy SMG as No Clue. If the ex-boyfriend is David Boreanaz, he is a TV only actor (unless Entys favourite movie was Valentine lol)
what if kristen bell was the nemesis?

ReplyDeleteOMG...Just thought of it. SMG and Michelle Trachtenberg. Michelle is hated by so many people the minute they meet her. The stories are endless about how horrible she is to work with. She also created drama on the set of Gossip Girl, causing one of the lead girl's eyes to twitch the minute she walked in. She has a bad wrap and she's definitely a C lister and was SMG's co-star on Buffy.
ReplyDeleteNo Clue B+ - Sarah Michelle Geller. She was also up for a role in Clueless and had to decline.
Nemisis C lister - Michelle Trattenberg.
Ex boyfriend - David Boreanaz
Husband - Freddie P Jr.

ReplyDeletebut Emmy Rossum is BFF's with Leighton Meester. I think they grew up together or something. There was a BV that Emmy was jealous that Leighton's career was taking off, so she was debating how she could try to sabotage her somehow.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the age difference btwn Claire and Emmy? What have they worked on together? Also, people don't HATE Emmy after 5 min of meeting her.
@crila -- "Also, people don't HATE Emmy after 5 min of meeting her."
ReplyDeleteActually, I've encountered plenty of gossip outlets who claim she's absolutely insufferable in person. So *you* might not hate her, but plenty of other people do. She's not exactly known for being a nice person -- kind of like Lea Michele.
I don't think she fits this blind, anyway. Too young. But whatever.
Claire Danes COULD work as No Clue. Easily. My So-Called Life DEFINITELY made her a star. And Billy Crudup as a serial cheater? Duuuuuuh. Has Enty ever talked about loving Almost Famous? If he does, he's got good taste -- it's one of my favorites, too. :-)
At any rate, I totally think that Claire is No Clue.
Ida - yeah, I think you are on to something! SMG, David and someone. Maybe JLH. They were in "i know what you did last summer" together... but what role would JLH have auditioned for that "made" SMG career?
ReplyDeleteNo...I absolutely can't stand Emmy. If it IS her...glad to hear it. Like I said above, she's tried to backstab Leighton too.
ReplyDeleteI also went back and read the BV and realized that "both actresses were photographed on the carpet together." Missed that part. The only 2 I really see is the SMG/Rachel photo and the Claire/Emmy photo. for B+/C list actresses. I know SMG was up for the part of Juliet in Romeo and Juliet...and she had to pass, because of All my Children. The part went to Claire Danes. I just hope Enty reveals this one day.
laurenbell, isn't kristen bell rumoured to be quietly married to dax shepherd? not that i have an opinion on it, but i've read it (possibly here).
ReplyDeleteDespite his cheating, David Boreanaz doesn't fit. He was married during the time SMG would have been pre - Freddie Prinze during Buffy, which wouldn't preclude them hooking up, but would preclude SMG being in a known dating realtionship with a "B list movie actor", something DB isn't anyway, unless, as one prior poster pointed out, Enty likes the movie Valentine.
ReplyDeleteJennifer Love Hewitt was considered for the role of Daphne in Scooby Doo (2002). But the director wanted a real life couple to play Daphne and Fred...
ReplyDeleteUp until then JLH and SMG were about equal in status. SMG had Buffy, JLH had the lead in the IKWYDLS movies. But then JLH ran out of gas, while SMG became even more widely known and started a string of popular horror flicks.
Besides trying out for Buffy, Selma Blair was also the first choice for the lead in The Grudge, which is SMG's most financially successful film.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDelete@Doorlocks, wouldn't that be kind of hilariously ironic if the title of the movie that our B+ list actress was in is called "The Grudge", and now Selma Blair is holding a crazy grudge against SMG?? :)
ReplyDeleteNo clue = Clueless = Alicia Silverstone?
ReplyDeletehttp://justjared.buzznet.com/2011/08/04/rachel-bilson-kristen-bell-tca-party-pair/
ReplyDeleteNo clue = Kristen Bell
Nemesis = Rachel Bilson
Husband = Dax Shepard (both Dax & Kristen have referred to each other as husband/wife on Twitter)
I'm guessing the role is Veronica Mars, and don't have a guess for the boyfriend. But I had to comment (first ever - longtime lurker) b/c I'm convinced!
