Today's Blind Items
This one is painful to write. It happens all the time though so I guess should not be surprised. This couple seems like they have the perfect marriage. Everything is always so great to the outside world, but inside, the couple is having some serious issues. Our actor is very good looking. B- list. Does television and movies and modeling. Always a smile on the face. Our actress does a little bit of everything. She actually has a chance at some point of pulling off an EGOT. They are married and have child/ren, however, our actor has been sleeping with a production assistant on his show and his wife has no clue. This would absolutely crush her and will make huge headlines if this comes out, no so much because of the level of their fame, but just because of the perfect couple image that is always presented to the world.
Idina Menzel and Taye Diggs
ReplyDeleteSuprisingly enough, not George Wendt and Tobias Fünke.
ReplyDeleteOk. I'll bite. What's an EGOT?
ReplyDeleteI agree 100% with Ryan. That was my off the cuff thought w/out having to research more closely.
ReplyDelete@Icy - emmy, grammy, oscar, tony winning all 4
ReplyDeleteEmmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony
ReplyDeleteIcywench, I figute it's
ReplyDeleteEmmy
Grammy
Oscar
Tony
Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony.
ReplyDeleteI think Ryan nailed it. *sad face
@Ryan, that was my first thought as well. Wasn't there a blind about them?
ReplyDeleteTaye Digs is already well known for his philandering.
ReplyDeleteThere was a blind when she was pregnant.
ReplyDeleteI really hate these, but there's so much temptation and some of them...hell most of them buy into how special they are and deserve everything....just everything.
What an idiot.
Nooooooo not India & Taye!
ReplyDeleteThanks all. I'll get with the program one of these days.
ReplyDeleteWould it be "huge headlines" if this was Taye Diggs?
ReplyDeleteTaye is good looking but very good looking i'm not sure about.
I was thinking Taye Diggs and Idina Menzel too. But I thought they were each other's beards, or at least she was his. A while back I read a few things where he is always with a certain man...alluding people to think it was his BF. Who really knows though??
ReplyDelete@worstcompanytoworkfor - i never pay attention to the "huge headline" type comments he makes when writing these blinds. because thats all based off your perspective. things in LA or NYC are different than the rest of the world as far as how they see the celeb universe. on the NYC broadway circuit this would be huge news. HUGE. whereas someone in say middle america who's never seen rent or wicked or glee etc. may not even know who idina is. i wouldn't get too hung up on those little pieces of info. because truly that is just Enty's opinion. its hard to say how these people sit in his eyes.
ReplyDeleteAdd me to the list of people who immediately thought of Taye and Idina. It fits, but I still hope we are all wrong, no offense.
ReplyDeleteBnl1016 hit it on the head. It's all about perspective and on Broadway, this would be a major story.
ReplyDeleteSad news either way. And one of those times where you hope it isn't true.
I already heard over a year ago that Taye Diggs was a cheater. It's not a surprise to me. I also never knew that Taye and Idina were thought to have a perfect marriage. I always think of Heidi Klum and Seal having the best marriage in Hollywood.
ReplyDeleteI'm with crila - there have been rumours for a while already about Diggs cheating on Idina. And do they present a "perfect couple image"?
ReplyDeleteIdina and Taye were the first ones I thought of too =( Too bad if true.
ReplyDeleteRQ - yes they do. When they are papped they are always cited and look like The Perfect Couple.
ReplyDeleteEmmy
ReplyDeleteGolden Globe
Oscar
Tony
I'm with crila as well. There have long been rumors of him stepping out, so no, I don't think this would be a huge surprise. Heidi & Seal do come across as sort of a perfect couple, except Heidi is not an actress, and therefore wouldn't be in the running for an EGOT.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the Idina and Taye guesses -- but I've also heard the same cheating rumors. I can't remember if I read them on this site specifically, though.
ReplyDeleteThey truly ARE a gorgeous couple, though. Sad.
Um, Enty, how about a Kindness Blind in the near future? Lift our spirits a little, hmmm?
Not that I don't love me some Idina, but don't you think that someone on their way to getting an EGOT would have received more than one of those awards already? Idina has only won a Tony Award, and frankly, she doesn't act all that often outside of Broadway, and she's only produced three albums.
ReplyDeleteSince I'm pretty sure Taye has already been revealed on this site as a massive cheater and they rarely make public appearances together, I just don't think this is them. I don't have a better option, but based on Enty saying "this one is painful to write" I would think this is someone we haven't discussed being a cheater in the past.
Diggs is kind of a rat. He and Menzel hooked up the first day they auditioned for the *workshop* for "Rent" but he kept the relationship quiet while he did "Stella" and other films to keep his appeal to black women 18-49 and raise his Q rating (hence the TV work.) They didn't come out as a couple and get married until his career was well along.
ReplyDeleteNOOOOOOOOOO! This would break my heart.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I love them both even though Private Practice is one of the most ridic shows on the planet.
ReplyDeleteI can't see Idina getting the roles for an Emmy or Oscar.
ReplyDeleteWill arnett and Amy poelher
ReplyDeleteLOL I immediately thought of Idina and the dirtbag as well. Sure, she only has the Tony right now, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least if she snagged some kind of "guest star" Emmy for Glee, depending on how well they write her this season. Also, the Wicked cast album did win the Grammy for the best musical/show album, so although it wasn't a personal win for her, maybe Enty is counting it?
ReplyDelete@linnea - Agree. I had to stop watching it. The Addison/Sam storyline infuriated me.
ReplyDeleteMe too. And I LOVE bad TV-shows. Long after everyone else gave up Greys, I kept watching. But PP is just so horrible.
ReplyDelete@linnea - The Dell thing on PP really ticked me off too b/c I LOVED him. I'm STILL watching Grey's. And Desperate Housewives. :-/
ReplyDeleteAnd both those jumped the sharks LONG ago. :) Oh well.
Yeah, I don't think this is T and I. They don't really put their relationship on display and when they do they talk about how difficult it is to keep things together when they both have such differing schedules. I was going to guess SJP and Matthew Broderick but he doesn't have a show and I don't think anyone thinks they are happy.
ReplyDelete@msgirl, the word "papped" is new to me -- and I like it!
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's Idina and Taye. One, I thought Enty outed TD as being a cad, so why would it be painful to write? Idina does TV now with Glee but mostly she does Broadway right? Sure a little bit of everything, but she's mostly known as a Broadway performer. Plus wouldn't Taye be mentioned as doing theater too?
ReplyDeleteThis one isn't Arnett and Poehler, but I'm wondering if there is a problem in their marriage. I heard Poehler on a podcast and she didn't talk about Arnett at all but did mention that she's still living in New York and he's living in L.A., which seemed strange because they have babies and both their shows shoot in L.A.
ReplyDeleteI going in a different direction...First is it Golden Globe or Grammy? There is NOT a long list of EGOT people...This marriage seems like it has some time behind it...So I say Tom Hanks & Rita Wilson.
ReplyDeleteI think it's Barbra Streisand and James Brolin. They have children by different partners, but the rest fits perfectly. She's never won the Tony (she received a special Tony in 1970), but she's one of the few people who could easily earn the EGOT if he returned to Broadway. Also, she does do a bit of everything (acting, directing, performing, writing, etc.). No matter what she's done, Barbra's always been an American sweetheart, so this would be huge news.
ReplyDeletePS: Brolin is currently shooting a new TV series.
ReplyDeleteJerry O'Connell and Rebecca Romijn. She's been on tv in multiple things, in films, and she's musical (recording a cd.)
