Today's Blind Items

So, I was reading an article the other day about this actor and I love how he just ignores the part of his life that was wild and crazy. Just because there was no TMZ to capture a moment, does not mean no one remembers. People were there. Like me.

Back in the day, there was a very popular sitcom on the air. It was on one of the big 3, although the 4th network did exist at the time. It was also long running. Anyway, the star (A- list then and now probably a C+)of the show was kind of coming into his own and testing the dating market. He had not done much previous to the show and was enjoying all the female attention. One person he was interested in was a co-star on the show (B- list then. Now, you probably don't even know her name). A little older but so good looking. He was head over heels for her, but she was so far ahead in the school of life that it was comical to watch. She humored him and one day she had a lot to drink and they had sex. To her, not a big deal. To him? It was love. In order to keep up with her he started drinking and doing coke because that is what she was doing and he wanted another chance with her. Every so often she would. Meanwhile, the star was a wreck. The drinking and drugs were out of control. So, a little time passes and our star goes to make a movie. This leaves the co-star behind and she hooks up with this guest star (at the time a no one. Later A list and now still a B) on the show. Well, when our actor comes back and finds this out he is devastated and the spiral downward which had stopped when he was shooting the movie is back on again. She explains to the actor that they were not exclusive and he was away after all. So, the actor resumes his puppy dog ways, until he goes out one night and spots the co-star making out with a gentleman who was also with the show and who was about double the age of the co-star. At this point our star goes on a week long drug and alcohol binge that was legendary for years. And this was at a time when people could spend some money on coke. This was out of control. It lasted for one week then he snapped out of it, went to the producers and said he would walk unless the co-star was fired. She was. Never spoke to her again.
