Today's Blind Items
This takes some moxie. I guess this guy is a celebrity. Maybe reality star would be better? Producer? In the world of reality he is an A+. Big name recognition. Anyway, he also is quite the womanizer, but even for him this might set a record. He has a steady girlfriend. He calls her in the morning to say he is running late and goes over to an ex-girlfriend and has sex. He then calls his girlfriend to say that he can make lunch. They eat lunch and then drops out of their planned shopping trip and says he will catch up with her at dinner. He then goes to another ex-girlfriend's house and has sex before joining up with the current girlfriend for dinner. Oh, and of course this will be a reveal. It has to be shared with the world.
Mark Burnett?
ReplyDeletePhil Keoghan from the Amazing Race? Fits the "world" clue.
ReplyDeleteSimon
ReplyDeleteRyan Seacrest?
ReplyDeleteI agree with @errant that the "world" is a clue. I don't know any reality shows tho...
ReplyDeleteMarc Burnett is married
ReplyDeleteRyan isn't he gay?
Phil Keoghan is not an A+
I go for Simon
Methinks Simon Cowell. Seacrest is a good guess, too, based on the clues, but he comes across a little light in his loafers. Plus, I think he actually stays pretty busy with all of his work obligations to have so much free time for breakfast and lunch "dates" as well as afternoon shopping trips and other "rendezvous".
ReplyDeleteYeah, Simon. He's also a record producer. Didn't he produce a Teletubbies album? *snicker*
ReplyDeletei like the simon guess.
ReplyDeletethe whole reality, celebrity, producter, but a+ name recognition.
maybe the world thing is because he's global. he's all over the place and these talent shows are in so many countries now after seeing the huge success of american idol and the x factor.
@WDITH -- I know Mark Burnett is married, but that hasn't stopped *other* high-powered Hollywood husbands from cheating with anyone they can.
ReplyDeleteAgreed about Seacrest. Ryan is gay, and Julianne is his beard. Unless a sex tape emerges with R and J going at it like bunnies, nothing will convince me otherwise.
Who the heck is Phil Keoghan? I know I could google the name, but the A+ designation makes it sound as if this man is a household name -- as in, even if you don't watch his work, you know exactly who he is.
So...I WOULD go for Simon, but does he have a girlfriend nowadays? He recently dumped his fiancee, and before that, he was with Terri Seymour for ages.
Also, he's always pinged my gaydar too, frankly.
Yeah Simon's been with Mezhgan Hussainy. They were engaged but now no one's really sure if they still are. But they are still together.
ReplyDeleteSimon or Jeff Probst
ReplyDeleteI was thinking Andy Cohen, till I got to the womanzier part.
ReplyDeleteI'm on the Simon Cowell train for this one.
ReplyDeleteSimon C was my first thought.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Lithgow? Too old?
Was going with Jeff Probst as well, but I wouldn't call him world renowned. Would fit Simon better. Also, the shopping thing: drops out of a planned shopping trip. Maybe it's me, but I perceive Simon to sort of spoil his women by taking them shopping.
ReplyDeleteYuck, Joe Francis came up first for me (I know, I am ashamed - A+ status... not so much). I love Phil Keoghan but I don't think he has A+ name recognition (and I want to believe he is as nice as he seems)... I like Mark Burnett - just swap out girlfriend with wife...
ReplyDelete...or Simon. I guess I could picture him rubbing his chest fur in all his glory...
ReplyDeleteSimon Cowell for sure. I wouldn't consider Burnett a "reality star" in his own right.
ReplyDelete@ Ida. Phil hosts The Amazing Race. My dream job!
ReplyDeleteI'm going out on a limb and say Jon Gosselin. He's definitely a "producer".
ReplyDeleteEvel Dick is in LA this week. Just sayin'
ReplyDeleteSimon. Apparently he has a house for "soon-to-be-ex's" and is friendly with all of his ex's. I base this off of the Daily Mail, but they had an interview with the woman he was with for 20ish years, this jives with what she said.
ReplyDelete@PDman - now THAT was funny!
ReplyDeleteSimon is in the pictures today. Don't Enty's blind often appear in the pictures of the day?
ReplyDelete@KLM, I first thought of Joe Francis too. Yuck is right!
ReplyDeleteHopping on the Cowell train.
Jeff Probst?
ReplyDeleteScott Disick. A+ name recognition, reality star and he tried to produce the two youngest sisters...

ReplyDeleteYou know what? I LOVE Ellin's Scott Disick guess, and I'm going to go with it.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that makes me think it isn't Simon is this: "I guess this guy is a celebrity." First of all, there seems to be a little bit of scorn in that sentence, which would fit in nicely with Enty's opinion of anything Kardashian-related.
But there's NO debating whether or not Simon is a celebrity. He is a world-class megastar, and I'm pretty sure 99% of North America and the U.K. knows EXACTLY who he is, and why he's famous.
Scott Disick has a known wandering eye, is completely duplicitous, *and* has a long-suffering girlfriend. He's also young enough to have enough stamina to have multiple sexual partners in one day, whereas Simon is close to 50 and would probably need some assistance with his libido. Little blue pills can only do SO much.
If you watch television, chances are excellent that you know *exactly* who Scott Disick is, even if you've never watched KUWTK. In terms of pure recognition, he would merit an A, at least.
"Oh, and of course this will be a reveal. It has to be shared with the world."
Also, wouldn't Simon unleash his 3453453454 lawyers on Enty if he were to reveal this? And the whole "sharing with the world" thing makes me think of the Kardashian family and their inability to keep anything to themselves.
ANYWAY. I like the Scott Disick guess, and I can't wait until Ellin is proven correct. ;-)
Ida, I read the "guess" part as being ambivalence about if he should be referred to as a celebrity or as a producer. I wouldn't recognize Scott Disick without a "HELLO MY NAME IS" sticker, and I read a lot of gossip blogs.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm arguing, not sure why I care :)
I'd love this to be Simon, but like Seacrest I honestly don't think he has the *time* -- wouldn't he be skyping/calling/texting the UK and Euro-land in the morning and early afternoon L.A. time?
ReplyDeleteAnd doesn't Disick live with Kourtney? This blind makes it sound like the dude wakes up and phones his steady.
ReplyDelete@Feisty -- If you saw a skinny man strutting along 5th Avenue wearing a pink paisley suit and a shitton of hairgel with a bunch of black-haired, voluptuous, swarthy women in tow, you'd probably whip your head around and scream "SCOTT FUCKING DISICK!" You just don't know it yet. ;-)
ReplyDelete@RQ -- Why would cohabitating with Kourtney rule out Scott? All he'd need to do is step out on a balcony and make the call. Cheating is a hell of a lot easier when you've got a smartphone.
Simon ftw.... definitely
ReplyDeleteIda - so he steps out onto the balcony of his house to call his girlfriend - who lives in that house - to say he is running late in that same house? If you read the blind, it doesn't make sense. It implies he and his steady girlfriend do not live in the same house.
ReplyDelete@Rocket Queen -- I know how to read quite well, thanks. And that blind *never* explicitly defines the living arrangement of the couple in question. So, these morning calls could be made from the backseat of a cab -- or, yes, a balcony. Or a sidewalk. Or a bathroom stall. Or anywhere, really.
ReplyDeleteIf this blind is about the Kardashians, none of them have *real* workdays. It's not as if any of them set the alarm for 7:15 and head off to the office. I still don't think that Disick is a preposterous guess.
OMG I dated that guy! I was the side piece. It was humiliating but man he was good in bed. :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Simon Cowell or however he spells his surname.
ReplyDeleteDisick is by NO STRETCH an A+ at anything. Until y'all explained who he was, I had no idea. That's not A-anything.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the 'world' doesn't care about Scott fuckin' Disick.
This is Simon Cowell.
@Libby -- I know, but wwwwwwhhhhhhy would Enty say "I guess this guy is a celebrity"? I mean, of COURSE Simon Cowell is a celebrity. He's up there with Donald Trump and Oprah in terms of public recognition. He's probably ten times more famous than any of the Idol winners -- Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson included.
ReplyDeleteI still think Jeff Probst is an excellent choice for this.
ReplyDeletety pennington of extreme home makeover
ReplyDeleteAhem. Well, the way I read it, seems preposterous to me ;)
ReplyDeleteDisick. He has the TIME in his day to do it, the stamina, and has a longterm gf and wandering eye. I think Seacrest, Cowell, Probst would be too busy to have multiple affairs in one day?
