Four For Friday - The Backstabber

Don't forget that every Saturday morning I find a blind item from my archives and reveal it. It is as big of a surprise to me as it is to you as I just randomly search through them until I find one. As always, if you would like some blind items that are not on the site or want to have the opportunity to see some quality drunken Tweeting, then follow me on Twitter ------------> over there.

This actress is A list through and through. She has achieved about the most success an actress can receive. Money, fame and awards. She wanted to be the world's sweetheart, but if they knew how she got to her lofty position they would be rethinking their judgment.

When Backstabber came to Hollywood she thought she was hot and that she could make it on her looks. Back home she was always the prettiest and she figured she would be here too. Nope. Not even close. She was smart enough to figure that out and also learned about the casting couch really quickly. Her first roles were secured via the casting couch and also led her to do some things she has never done since on film. It is true that she has attempted to buy some of those earlier films and then make sure no new copies are ever released.

In one of her casting couch experiences she met a mentor who has guided her almost every step of the way. Although they stopped sleeping together after six months when Backstabber threatened to tell his wife, they have been good friends ever since and Backstabber makes sure to send over some young actresses she runs into looking for a break to his office to keep him happy.

It came to Backstabber's attention that there was a role which would be perfect for her but the lead had been promised to someone else. Another actress who had very similar qualities and beat out Backstabber for a career defining role and made her white hot. Destined for A list (and still with great name recognition, but not Crash & Burn from yesterday), she made a few more movies and now has one bomb after another on television and in movies. Backstabber started whispering in ears that this actress had a drug problem and could not be relied on. She told everyone she could about the drugs and booze and erratic behavior. None of it was true, but what was a shoo in for the actress and her spot as the actress to watch disappeared in a flash and went to Backstabber.

This is where it gets interesting. On the set, Backstabber met her soon to be husband, but he was already having sex with two of the other still B list co-stars and would have laughed if you told him what Backstabber had in mind. Aside from the casting couch, Backstabber was not and is not a sexual person. She does it out of duty. For this guy though, she knew that would not work. She seduced and teased and the next thing you know, the guy had left the other two co-stars in the dust and was on his knee in a second trying to marry Backstabber. To be the world's sweetheart you needed a husband. Mission accomplished. The only misfire Backstabber had was that her husband would chat in a second and with Backstabber only having sex with him once a month at the most, he would go wandering and straying. She did not mind when he was quiet about it, but after she paid for the third abortion for him, he was out the door.

While they were married, Backstabber continued to climb the Hollywood ladder. Drug accusations here, sending over some of her "friends" from back home to spend the night with a studio executive. To get the ultimate prize, she actually did have sex with a few people who could make or break things for her. She has no actress friends left in Hollywood because she has talked smack about everyone of them. She works for charities but only because it is expected. She has said privately that she keeps every penny she has ever made and that she is not going to give her money to a bunch of broke people or the N word on the street. Oh yeah, she is racist. Probably more so than anyone at a KKK rally. Movies with black people? Not if she can help it. Earlier in her career she could not control it. Now? Casting approval. No black people. Other minorities? No thank you. If she sees you drinking she will try and have you fired. Swearing? She better not hear you. Yeah, so it was a real treat when she had to work with a guy who dropped F bombs every five seconds and had a string of hookers and booze in his trailer the whole shoot. You can see her grimacing the entire movie.

    It can't be Jennifer Aniston - what awards has she won. I was thinking Sandra Bullock until it got the the racist part. I'm guessing Julia Roberts.

  12. Not Aniston-everyone, everywhere goes out of their way to say how wonderful she is. Same for Reese W.
    I was thinking Julia Roberts.

    ReplyDelete
  13. julia Roberts ? but she's friend with many Hollywood people,her brother helped her and

    Reese Witherspoon? but she met Ryan Philippe at her birthday in first and she starts to work very young

    Sandra Bullock? she's not racist (her kid)and she divorced because her husband's cheating was public

    Cameron Diaz? but she's not married

    ReplyDelete
  14. Reese would fit ...

    Movie: Cruel Intentions
    Hubby: Ryan Phillippe
    Still B-List Costars: Sarah Michelle Gellar / Selma Blair

    ReplyDelete
  15. I would think Julia over Reese. Reese's early jobs were when she was young (think Man in the Moon), whereas Julia was older when she started (Mystic Pizza, etc).

    ReplyDelete
  16. Alicia Silverstone in Clueless as the actress that beat her for a career-defining role? Or did I read that part wrong?

    ReplyDelete
  17. The reason I dont think it is Reese is because she started out very young, like underage, on "Man on the Moon". She was probably about 15-16 then.

    I thought Julia till that last paragraph. From wiki "While her mother was pregnant with Julia, she and her husband ran an acting school for children in Decatur, Georgia. The children of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King attended the school. As a thank-you for their service, Mrs. King paid the hospital bill when Julia's mother gave birth to Julia."

  19. I think the backstabber is Nicole Kidman. The "Mission accomplished" at finding a husband made me think of it.

  21. Reese Witherspoon!

    For sure. And yes, Cruel Intentions.

    She has absolutely never struck me as sexual at all, so there's that - plus the "America's Sweetheart" part and all of Ryan Phillipe's cheating is well known. Rumored to be a total bitch for sure.

    AND - you never see her with any Hollywood female friends.

    ReplyDelete
  22. But wasn't Reese a child actor who transitioned? I'm thinking Julia.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Nicole Kidman is a great guess. I still like Kate Winslet for this too.

    The BI keeps referencing the "world's sweetheart" not "America's sweetheart"

    makes me think this is not an American

    ReplyDelete
  24. i'm gonna go with ms. laura reese witherspoon, harpeth hall alum and eve of janus debutante.

    ReplyDelete
  25. even if it's about Reese Witherspoon ,the "swear" guy is Vince Vaughn(he didn't promote their movie),the movie can be ELECTION(by Payne) or LEGALLY BLONDE or WALK THE LONE ,it's just untrue for me

    It's refreshing to have a blind involving the casting couch where Gretchen Mol isn't a suspect.

  29. What about Heigl...she's in every flop rom/com these days

    ReplyDelete
  30. but Reese W is a child actor,she met Ryan Philippe during her birthday party,...

    ReplyDelete
  31. My first thought was Meg Ryan. She was Americas Sweetheart. Pretty, but not the prettiest woman in Hollywood by a long shot.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Catherine Zeta Jones-
    She is foreign born-Wales. She was in the movie "American Sweethearts" with Julia Roberts, married Michael Douglas who was a womanizer from way back-won an Oscar.

    ReplyDelete
  33. "Her first roles were secured via the casting couch and also led her to do some things she has never done since on film. It is true that she has attempted to buy some of those earlier films and then make sure no new copies are ever released."

    I think this is a big clue. Who showed some skin on film?

    ReplyDelete
  34. I don't think it's Julia Roberts, I hear she has a potty mouth.

  35. @ 10:23

    There's no more racism in the South than part of the country.

    That's like saying Blacks are more homophobic than Whites.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Not Reese. She has Hollywood friends (Cammie D., Chelsey Handler, Gwenyth, etc.). Also, she and Ryan met YOUNG at her birthday party. They were already long together when they filmed Cruel Intentions.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Somehow, I thought this was a foreigner, too. I thought CZJ, but she's still married to Mr. Cheat.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Don't think it's Nicole Kidman because I don't think she came to Hollyweird thinking she was more beautiful than anyone else.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Not Reese. She hangs out with Chelsey Handler who has a potty mouth and loves to drink, so I doubt it's Reese.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Zeta Jones swears like a trooper.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I don't think it's Julia Roberts, because of her Denzel Washington antics at the Oscars one year. She was photo'd draped all over him the next day. Reese sounds better.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I am going to guess Meg Ryan with Nicholas Cage being the boozy actor she had to work with.

  44. I had an inkling the F-bombing drunk with hookers was Colin Farrell?

    ReplyDelete
  45. I see why Reese seems not to fit in some ways, but then I think about the comments the other day about Enty obviously knowing dirt on her and challenging him to reveal it...so I'm gonna have to go with Reese.
    I could see it fitting. She's from a wealthy Nashville family. Was probably very popular and thought she was the prettiest...

    ReplyDelete
  46. My first gut feeling was Catherine Zeta Jones

    But I'm willing to put money on this being Reese

    ReplyDelete
  47. Anonymous10:41 AM

    Doesn't really fit, but wouldn't it be funny if this was Angelina...secretly a prude that hates sex and profanity, and uses the children from other countries as props, but doesn;t like them?

    ReplyDelete
  48. I thought Julia up until the part about being racist. Not saying she's not, but she was with Benjamin Bratt for a while.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Can't be Julia because she is very good friends with Denzel Washington and calls Oprah her best friend... Can't be Nicole because she was engaged to Lenny Kravitz and her son is multi-racial...

    ReplyDelete
  50. @ Court she was not the prettiest in her class or her school. she was only marginally popular, as her HH classmates were jealous that she was alwys off "acting". her family is quite wealthy (doctors) and her brother's repuation is ugly.

    ReplyDelete
  51. My first thought was Reese with her swearing and drinking co star being Robert Pattinson in Water For Elephants. He says the F word every five seconds for sure.
    Not sure about the casting couch thing in her early career as she was so young......hmmmm

    ReplyDelete
  52. Reese has way too many well known female hollywood friends for this to be her. Where did Scarjo meet Reynolds? She definitely has no female hollywood friends.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Wait....didn't Meg Ryan adopt a Chinese orphan? If so then I guess that eliminates her.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Reese fits best as of now. Meg Ryan's only been married to Dennis Quaid, which reportedly ended b/c of her affair with Russell Crowe, so not being sexual doesnt seem to fit. Also, if Dennis Quaid had gotten women pregnant, I think he'd have been able to afford his own abortions. This is someone with a non actor/celeb or lesser "list" husband. Ryan Phillippe does fit as Reese had a much bigger career and still does, but I feel like "husband is a still B- actor" or something would've been mentioned. Or maybe that'd be too much of a give away.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Reese.

    She was a child actor, but she started when she was about 15 or so. She's done nudity in some of early films, which aren't that popular, so I can imagine her trying to buy those back.

    It's not Nicole Kidman. Can you imagine her first husband, Tom Cruise, knocking up his side pieces? NO!

    Also, the not sexual part goes hand in hand with Reese's attempts to sex up her image.

    The co-star is Vince Vaughn.

    As we know Enty fudges details to make things not so obvious. While Reese may have met Ryan Philippe at her bday party, he still could have been screwing two actresses she was working with. Perhaps that's how he ended up at her party. Alternatively, the birthday party thing could be a lie to cover up the truth.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Don't think it's Kidman, she dated Lenny K, and rumored to have dated Q-Tip as well. Plus she has a black son.

    ReplyDelete
  57. I'm going to second the Nicole Kidman guess. Fits with the "world's sweetheart" wording (Ie, she wouldn't just be America's sweetheart). Also fits with the clue about wanting to buy back some of her earlier film - Dead Calm had a bunch of nudity/sex scenes, which she hasn't really done since. And she married Tom Cruise whom she worked with. I haven't looked through all her fimography, but she doesn't seem to co-star with too many non-whites.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Who met their former horn dog husband on a big movie and is now divorced? I read this as the actress is not currently married, which might help us narrow down the field.

    ReplyDelete
  59. It's Reese, the role which she wanted was the role in Legally Blonde, which I'm guessing had been promised to Alicia Silverstone.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Scarlett Johannson doesn't have any major award wins.

    ReplyDelete
  61. OK so far I'm not on board with anyones guesses.

    This is definitely someone not American, has a look a like in Hollywood, and has bombed on television and movies.

    None of your guesses match this. If I thought Tom Cruise cld get women pregnant then maybe Nicole.

    Anyways, I have to go to the tailor now but will research later. I think the reference "WHITE HOT" deserves much attention, since the saying is really Red Hot.

    Just some examples of where we need think;
    Emma Stone - Lindsay Lohan
    Naomi Watts - Nicole Kidman
    Penelope Cruz - Salma Hayek

    I vote no on Reese because I just can't see a 14 year old girl having enough savvy or forethought to think she can conquer Hollywood.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Of all the guesses so far, Reese fits the best. She didn't do a lot of nudity early on though, did she? This reads like it is someone who did some full nudity/sex scenes. Doesn't that rule out most of the guesses so far?

    I'm trying to think, what current A-lister with major stroke on their contracts did potentially embarassing sex scenes at the beginning of their career? I might actually need to peruse Mr. Skin's website!

    ReplyDelete
  66. KnitAddict, do you really think Tom got 3 girls pregnant? And that Nicole had to pay for it. He was much bigger than her at the time they were married.

    I'm kind of stumped on this one. Just want to point out, though, that it never says that the husband was an actor, just that they met on set. (Director?)

    ReplyDelete
  67. Hillary Swank just because she irritates me.

    ReplyDelete
  68. I hate to say I'm on the Reese train here... Even Ted C (please don't throw tomatoes at me), says that her hollywood persona is different than her true persona.

    In terms of Nicole K. She has done more nudity than in just Dead Calm -- Billy Bathgate comes to mind, plus Blue Room on Broadway.. and I think a few more... Great people! you made me scour through my memory for NAKED NICOLE KIDMAN!!

    ReplyDelete
  69. I think it's Reese. She's supposed to be a huge bitch, she hated Vince Vaugn, she's a "proper SOuthern" belle, and she really seems too uptight to let herself go and enjoy sex. Remember Enty changes some things with timing, and who says she and Ryan met at her party, she and her PR team? Even if true, it's a slight fudging of details. I just checked her IMBD page and she won this "most talented" award in her state when she was young. Her parents were wealthy, she had instant and early success in being seen as a great new talent. As for being friends with other actresses she's hardly seen with any and if she is it could all be for publicity.

    Yeah I don't like, can you tell?

    ReplyDelete
  70. I was thinking Meg Ryan, she lost the role of Shelby in Steel Magnolias to Julia Roberts. Years later Meg did Sleepless in Seattle after Julia passed; but this was after Pretty Woman so Julia was already a-list.

  71. what about jennifer garner? she was in arthur with russell brand?

    ReplyDelete
  72. Reese was in a movie called 'Twilight' where she was nude... (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119594/) I remember seeing it on HBO a few years ago and totally surprised she was nude in it. Also, her other early film 'Freeway' was filled with tons of vulgarity... from language to violence - aka stuff Reese does not do any more.

  73. Pixie, if Hilary Swank is the prettiest "back home" then I need to know where she's from so I don't ever go there!

  75. My first thought was that this has to be someone w/an Oscar, but after looking at the lists of female acting winners from 1990 onward, the only 2 that strike me as distinct possibilities are Julia Roberts & Reese Witherspoon...but I'm not sure either one of them quite fits. It's possible to be basically a racist while having friends of a different race (the friends are "different, not like the others," you see)--just thought I'd throw that in there. It's looking now as if it's someone who hasn't won an Oscar, but has won other awards...any other guesses?

    ReplyDelete
  76. totally reese. starred with vince vaughn in 08 and it was heavily reported about their conflict on the set. she dated mark wahlberg early on. she "dated" jake g. starred with ryan phillippe notorious philanderer. remember "election"? great film. character very close to reality. wow

    ReplyDelete
  77. Hmmm I like these guesses but I wonder wouldn't Enty have mentioned she has children? All the actresses mentioned have children.

    ReplyDelete
  78. At first I thought it was Julia, especially because she met her husband while filming the Mexican. But, she is still married to him.

    Don't think it's Nicole Kidman, because really, when has she ever been thought of as a sweetheart? Ice queen is more like it.

    Thought it could be Reese because so many of the clues fit — (she is a spokesperson for Avon, Ryan is a slut and they did divorce), but she has lots of girlfriends. This does sound like her, though.

    I am stumped.

    ReplyDelete
  79. I really liked the Kate Winslet guess since she wins award after award and SEEMS really sweet, but she's been divorced twice and has a kid.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Yo- Julia Roberts is the Backstabber.

    She's from GA (back home) where there is still KKK... I can say this with authority having been born & raised in Athens GA. The King family thing brought up earlier does not dispel this for me, lots of people are not racist in public and are in private.

    The swearing thing doesn't convince me either-- some people think there are different rules for other people than themselves. Yeah she swears/drinks but is that really ok for commoners??

    She was in that movie America's Sweetheart.

    I think the person she slept with who later got married is Harvey Weinstein and whoever he was married to prior to his current one. Did he produce Pretty Woman?

    Not sure who she spread the rumors about though... not sure if it's recent or more 90s.

    If there is anyone from the set of that new movie she's in that is into drugs and hookers that totally seals the deal for me.

    It's never been a secret back home that she is not a very nice person.

    WRT Reese yes I have also heard she can be a mega-bitch and very controlling but I agree that she didn't have to "break" into HW the way JR did because she started acting with amazing talent so young. She is also someone who is not all high and mighty about charity in public unlike Julia and her environmental stuff. Finally I just don't see how Reese could have accomplished this all unless she was very young or it all happened very close together or people didn't mind sleeping with a pregnant lady/someone who recently gave birth-- I just don't think the timing makes sense for her.

    JBR for the win i think.

    ReplyDelete
  81. It can't be Nicole Kidman by default; the only Ex is Tom Cruise, and well, I don't think he's knocking anyone up or needing his wife to pay for abortions, if, in some bizzarro world, he did get someone pregnant.

    ReplyDelete
  82. This is not Reese Witherspoon, it is close, that's for sure. Backstabbing, rather asexual, working for charities as show. But it's not her for mulitple reasons. One of the is that Reese and Ryan were equally relatively unknowns when they met, and not onset but at her 21st birthday party. And this sounds like someone who married but has no children. I would eliminate Julia Roberts too since neither of her marriages seem to fit the bill, she married a strange country singer and then a cameraman.

    ReplyDelete
  83. I think this is Reese start to finish. Everything fits. So what if she came to Hollywood at 15, that's not too young for the casting couch in this town. This fits with a lot of other whispers about goody two shoes Reese, too - how everyone finds her obnoxious, and her "girlfriends" are as much about PR as her boyfriends (Jake). And yes, she and Ryan met before Cruel Intentions but they were not together / exclusive until she got pregnant.

    ReplyDelete
  84. NOT Nicole Kidman. She has a black kid and dated / lived with Lenny K (lucky btch!)

    ReplyDelete
  85. This is a no brainer. It's Reese Witherspoon. Hands down. I read it without looking at other people's comments...and Reese all the way. Since her one role where she's won the oscar...it's been flop after flop. It's also know that when she worked with Vince Vaughn, they couldn't stand each other and she hated the constant swearing and ad libbing. She's by the script, word for word.

    Not Julia. Julia is far from prissy and proper. If someone is swearing, I'm sure she won't be offended.

    ReplyDelete
  86. I think the main character is Reese. Very southern family, could see her being racist, always the prettiest at home, wasn't she homecoming queen?
    I'm thinking the one she spread rumors about was someone more like a Emma Stone type. The guy with f-bombs and hookers, Vince obviously. Can see her being too prudish to have sex much too. Ryan Phillipe was the one she had to pay for the 3 abortions for. Sending friends over from "back home" Reese is from Tennessee I think. Never see her hanging out with other females, she works for a breast cancer charity, very publicly.
    Only missing piece is the actress she spread rumors about.

  87. I believe Juliette Lewis beat Reese for the role in Cape Fear.

  89. Enty doesn't say actress went nude by unless I am missing something. "Never done on film" could refer to Reese's earlier, edgy roles like "Freeway" and Election.

    ReplyDelete
  90. "Her first roles were secured via the casting couch and also led her to do some things she has never done since on film. It is true that she has attempted to buy some of those earlier films and then make sure no new copies are ever released."

    Reese's first film role was in Man in the Moon when she was FOURTEEN (and she looked about 9 at the time). She got tons of acclaim and attention and has worked steadily ever since. What racy films do people think Reese did in her early years as a teenage actress???

    ReplyDelete
  91. M - I initially thought that too(based on how the final paragraph starts)and ruled out both Julia & Reese. However, it doesn't specifically say she's still unmarried, just that she's not married to the guy she met on the set anymore. I think this still rules out Julia, but not Reese, although her age when she started acting is throwing me off that train. I also like the Meg Ryan guess, although has she won awards? I'm too lazy to look right now...

    ReplyDelete
  92. Please people, don't assume every white Southerner is a racist. I can tell you for sure that there is no more racism in the South than anywhere else. I've lived in CA and NY as well and saw and heard as much racism there from the mouths of "progressive liberals" as I ever witnessed from anyone in the South.

    Heck there's a video on the Daily Caller of Tom Hanks and Genn Frey participating in a black-face routine that's been called "gross, coarse, and shocking" by Niger Innis.

  93. Can't be Nic Kidman. Tom Cruise is gay...unless it was 2 B list male co-stars he was sleeping with and Nic stole Tom away from them.

  94. Who are Reese's girlfriends? The only females she's photographed with (besides at events) are her daughter, mother, and the occasional underling.

  95. AMD, watch a movie called "Freeway". Also "Fear".

    ReplyDelete
  96. @Crila - The other actress who our Alister (we'll say Reese for now) has tried to make look bad is the one who's had bombs on TV and film after her one white hot role, not the A lister herself.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Reese FTW. I really don't see the lots of girlfriends thing myself. Oh sure, she poses with other women or will make a comment or two about how wonderful she thinks they are, but I don't get the feeling she is truly BFFs with any of them for real.

    The keeping every penny she made sounds like her. Wasn't she favored for the shoe shopper who had the clerk bring out so many shoes and when they were putting the shoes back she would snag a pair and hide them in her stroller?

    ReplyDelete
  98. It's gotta be Reese.. While reading it I was picturing Julia Roberts almost the entire time until I got to the part about her and her husband getting divorced, she's still married to Danny, whom she met on set. And it's either Vince or Jaoquim for her cringe-worthy co star. Her and Joaquim hated each other, I bet it was him.

  101. Reese!! Confirms why I've never liked her. Wasn't there a blind thought to be her about an actress copying a celebutard's style choices and following her around?

    Not Julia. I know a conservationist who did trips to the Amazon with Julia and Susan Sarandon. Julia Roberts loves sex.

    ReplyDelete
  102. I know Hillary Swank isn't the most traditionally gorgeous Hollywood acress, but she did grow up in a trailer park so in that sense, perhaps she is the prettiest girl from her hometown. Also, I can see that influencing her thoughts on minorities if she grew up around low-class white people. She and Chad Lowe are divorced and didn't have any kids.

    ReplyDelete
  103. I'm leaning towards Kate Winslet until I can do more research.

    for the following reasons:
    Was married to Jim Threapleton (assistant director)
    Was married to Sam Mendes (director)

    Was originally cast as Nola Rice in Woody Allen's Match Point (2005), but dropped out at the last minute, so she could spend her time with her child. The role went to Scarlett Johansson .

    Was in consideration for the part of Satine in Moulin Rouge! (2001) but Nicole Kidman, who went on to receive a Best Actress Oscar nomination for her performance, was cast instead.

    Just finished filming MOVIE 43 with GERARD BUTLER

    I need more time with this one.

    Only problem is that shes not pretty enough to think she'd make it with her looks.

  108. I just can't decide. Neither Julia nor Reese fits all the clues 100%, but I'm certain it's one of them. No one else even comes close.

    ReplyDelete
  109. I think this is Reese as well, but my first instinct was actually Julia. Not sure.

    To the commenter that stated that southerners aren't more racist than folks in the rest of the country, well, I BEG TO DIFFER! I lived for a decade in the NE, in multiple states, on the West Coast for 17 years and all over the deeeep South for over a decade. Without hesitation, the average southerner is more racist. 100%. Some cities like Austin, TX and the more Metro areas are not much different from the coasts, so I can see how people who live in particular cities might think southerners are all open-minded. However, much of the deep south is still very segregated and the mentality there is about 30 yrs. behind the rest of the country.

    Anyway, can totally buy that either Reese or Julia is a closeted racist.

  111. Has to be Reese - she's a churchgoer, which can be the reason why she's not into cursing. Heard that she's a bitch as well. Can't be Julia Roberts. Danny Moder definitely wasn't screwing around with other actresses and it surely wasn't Lyle Lovett, either.

  112. Reese was knocked up when she married Ryan Phillipe. Doesn't add up.

    ReplyDelete
  113. tracyh, Reese made Freeway and Fear after she'd been in the business a few years. The blind reads as if Backstabber got her *first* role(s) via the casting couch. The only way this is Reese is if Enty is fudging to the point where s/he's being dishonest.

    Also, as Lainey pointed out the other day when talking about her pregnancy self-promotion, Reese is friends with Jennifer Aniston, Chelsea Handler, and Gwyneth Paltrow. And Cameron Diaz. All of whom kind of kill the "no swearing, no drinking around her" claim.

    IF this is Reese, though, it's pretty ironic that her more family-friendly films since becoming a power-player in Hollywood have been shit compared to her more promising earlier "edgier" work.

  117. The thing makes me doubt this is Reese is that there is no way in hell she was the prettiest girl in high school. She was cute in a tom-boyish way, but not someone that should think she could make it on her looks even in Nashville, much less LA.

  118. Ok never mind. I'm back on the Reese train. The guy she didn't get along with = Vincent Vaughn.

  119. I think this is Nicole Kidman. She is a tee-totaller: http://www.indianexpress.com/news/nicole-kidman-admits-being-boring/900644/ She has charities she is involved with. There are rumors of bizarre behavior on red carpets which leads me to believe she is not who she wants you to believe...like it's hard for her to keep up the charade. SEnding execs "friends from back home" implies, to me, a foreign country. She met Tom Cruise on Days of Thunder. She starred with Sean Penn in The Interpreter and HE likes the hookers and is known to have a foul mouth. (for that last clue in the BI)

  122. Have to confess while reading this Reese jumped into my thoughts. I'd hate to think she was using the casting couch at 15, that is so wrong on so many levels. Hard to think of who else would fit beside Julia, but the husband part doesn't fit at all. When reading some of these blinds, it is really disturbing knowing how sick hollywood can be, and even more disturbing knowing that these people are rich on top of their depravity. Just reinforces that that life is not fair, not one single bit.

    ReplyDelete
  123. Don't think it's Reese.

    Could possibly be Uma Thurman (met hubby Gary Oldman on set of Henry and June). Which could also be the role she wanted (no clue if June Miller was promised to someone else though). Still it's hard to make all the clues work for her. No clue who the mentor type would be

    It all sounds like Reese, but I think the big clue is to find another movie where the A+++ actress met her husband (either actor or director) and there were 2 female B actresses for him to sleep with.... Cruel Intentions has Selma and Sarah, not sure what the other options each of the other guesses are but that shouldn't be that hard to research??!!

  125. @yeahwhatever I'm from Virginia and that's def not true. There's racism here sure, but it's not as prevalent as up north. I found that Pennsylvania and NYC are one of the most racist and segregated places I've ever been. It's not in your face at all, but the way people, especially minorities, don't mix in with everyone else to an extreme is unsettling. Plus, for all their progressive attitudes, they won't hesitate to call you a racist name under their breath or make a snide comment to one of their friends about you. It's def more subtle version of it.

    ReplyDelete
  126. To those who have disagreed with the notion that Reese would be racist since she's southern and claim that it's no more racist than other parts of this country;
    I am a born and bred New Yorker..lived in L.A. for over a decade and presently in Nashville.
    I get that there may be SOME racism in every corner of this country but I can say, based on repeated and shocking experiences in this place that racism in other parts of this country don't compare to what it's like here. It's WAY deeper and angrier and obvious than anywhere I've ever been. It's #1 on my list of reasons I'm readying to leave.

  127. I created a profile just to write this. This is NOT Julia Roberts. Julia Roberts is many things, but she is not a racist. I am not a fan of hers, but I felt I needed to challenge the perception that this could be her:

    1. In Georgia, Julia Roberts grew up with and her family was friends with the King children, meaning the children of Martin Luther King, Jr. - the Civil Rights Leader. This is not the background of an overt racist.

    2. Julia Roberts INSISTED on the casting of Denzel Washington in the Pelican Brief despite the fact that John Grisham and others objected to giving such a huge role to a Black actor and to having a white actress play opposite a black male actor, especially because the character was white in the book. She used her success to promote color-blind casting, and she put her own career on the line to do it. Those are not the actions of a racist.

    3. At the academy awards a few years ago, she made a very big deal about meeting Sidney Poitier. I have never seen her get that excited about anybody else of any race. Again, not the behavior of an avowed racist.

    4. However, I have heard she does bizarre things like having the production office issue orders that ordinary people - of all races - must not to look her in the eye when she shoots on location and other rude, divalicious behavior.

    5. Note, I did hear one story about her getting upset that a black person that she didn't know was in her house during a party - a guest of a guest - and that people were very shocked that she used racist language. However, I never put a lot of stock in the story because it deviated so much from her other behavior towards black people. She may have a different code of behavior for famous black people vs. non-famous black people, which is typical in the industry, but it does not seem to extend to racist professional choices as the item indicates.


    I am black, and I am pretty good at knowing about and spotting some of the racist actors, actresses, and producers in Hollywood. I am not a Julia Roberts fan, but by all accounts, she does not have issues with racism.

    ReplyDelete
  128. I don't think Reese fits because of the husband part. Seducing someone to marry you is different then two young actors getting married because one is knocked up! I do agree with an above poster that I don't think there were kids involved in the marriage.

    I want to say Scarlett, with Woody Allen being the casting couch guy that she is friends with, but she doesn't have a globe or oscar, only nominated for a globe. She does have other awards though. I also don't think she did a movie with Ryan.

    ReplyDelete
  129. No clue who this is, but Halle Berry jumps to mind. I can see her being conniving and a backstabber. And she seems to be dating mostly white guys now, so maybe she got a thing against black guys. Don't know how she met her first husband, but if I remember correctly their divorce was in part about sex - he was purported to be a sex addict. Anyway, I know it's an off the wall idea but I thought I'd throw it out there.

    BTW has anyone mentioned who could be the mentor if this were Reese or Julia?

  130. Ooooh, this could be the blind that TT was referring to the other day. If so, then it's Reese.

  131. @xcentric: It's funny, because I am from PA and recently relocated to Northern Virginia, and I can't get over the prevalent racist attitudes here (for example, April is "Confederate History Month"....) Granted, I'm from the Philadelphia area and I know that outside of Philly and Pittsburgh, PA is basically the South.

    ReplyDelete
  132. Not Kate Winslet. She is absolutely not a prude. Did you see her in "Extras"??

    I first thought it was Sandra Bullock but now I'm going with Reese. Enty didn't mention the children part because that would make it too easy. I think he sorta implied it though when he said "to be the world's sweetheart you needed to have a husband", because Reese was pregnant and got married so she wouldn't be an unwed mother.

    ReplyDelete
  133. With all due respect -- because I love y'all -- I don't think it can possibly be ANYONE who has been guessed here. Let's see...

    Julia - Still married, and can't see Lyle Lovett, Hubby #1, being such a slut and knocking up people left and right. Plus she's not a "no drinking, no swearing" type, clearly.

    Catherine ZJ - Again, still married. We all know that MD has been in rehab for sex addiction along with coke addiction, true, but he'd pay for his own abortions, surely. And again, they're still together.

    Reese - the child-actor thing. No racy films in her past; I'd bet my cat on it. She would have had to have been, what, thirteen at the time, anyway? I just cannot believe that. And she has F-bomb-y friends. And the fact that she HAS female friends.

    Nicole - Do we really think that Tom was sleeping with WOMEN?! Or even if he were, he'd be able to pay for his own abortions, too. the prudishness I'd buy, but the other parts don't add up.

    Kate W. - Totally willing to be naked and not a prude. Can't be her.

    There are just too many details here that don't COMPLETELY fit ANY of these people. And...all of that said, I can't think of anyone who fits. Perhaps if we think of A-listers who married costars from movies that also had B-list female costars? Hmm, actually, they're not necessarily female, are they? Yikes, this is tough...

    ReplyDelete
  134. Oh, and TT already said it's not Reese. Somewhere up there, it's there.

    Oh, Meg Ryan? Not a bad guess. Except that she met Dennis on the set of INNERSPACE, correct? Was he sleeping with Martin Short?

    Yeah, I can't figure this one out.

  135. backstabber= someone nice to face knifes you in the back, being "friends" with ladies who all have same or soon to be same publisist (Stephen Huvane)does not mean you are REAL friends.

  137. A couple of days ago there was a blind about an actress passed around like candy. A number of the identifiers seemed to indicate Reese. I'm wondering if the previous blind put Enty in mind of more gossip about the same person?

  147. Totally think this is Reese. She seems like an uptight prude. Her "friendships" could be all for show, you never heard of her friendships to those other blonde actresses until her recent attempt to revamp her image into something more "sexy" and "fun". Plus, if they are such good friends of hers, why weren't they mentioned as guests at her wedding to Jim Toth?

    As for the casting couch, after all of Himmmm's reveals, the recent dark blinds, and seeing the way 15-yr-old Chloe Moretz is so desperate to be sexualized, I'm cynical enough to believe that Reese would have hopped on the casting couch while she was a teenager.

    Actress she beat out for breakthrough role: Alicia Silverstone who was in "Clueless" (1995)

    Breakout movie for Reese: "Legally Blonde", which came out 2001, enough time for Alicia to have been on track to being A-list and she fell off the radar roughly around that year.

    Husband: Ryan Philippe, it was always curious why he was with her, they had no chemistry together whatsoever.

    Ultimate prize: Being cast and winning the Oscar as June Carter in "Walk the Line" (2005).

    Actor she couldn't stand: Vince Vaughn for that horrid "Four Christmases" movie.

    As for casting approval, that probably depends on whether she can swing her clout (or sleep with the right people) who would allow her to veto casting of minorities. And just 'cause she hangs out offscreen with people who swear and drink doesn't necessarily mean she won't try to get people fired from a movie for doing the same thing.

  150. The blind says "Her first roles were secured via the casting couch". Reese would have been 13 and 14 when her first roles were cast. I'm sure hitting the casting couch that young wouldn't be a Hollywood first but it does make it seem unlikely this is about her.

    ReplyDelete
  151. And to add, Reese's production company is Type A Productions. She will do anything to get ahead, just like Tracy Flick.

    Also, I can totally see Reese being this level of bitch about cursing and drinking on a movie set because it would offend her to be so unprofessional. Outside of work, I can see her being more "laid back" or "laid back for show".....

  153. The Hilary Swank guess is kind of good. She divorced actor Chad Lowe in 2006, and is now dating her agent (person offering her guidance through out her career??). She certainly fits the A-sexual bill, and is definitely not-THAT-great looking.

    She has won TWO Oscars, and she was in P.S. I Love You with Gerard Butler who has quite the reputation.

  154. Enty also previously mentioned that Reese does a lot with the Avon Foundation and she was named first ever Avon Global Ambassador in 2007, so that fits the charity work clue.

  155. Is there a chance that this blind could be older. When I first started reading it, for some reason I didn't seem current. Possibly someone who's in her late 40's or 50's now??

  156. ITA with everything @THEA said only I'm sure it was Jaoquim that she hated. It was rumored that they did not like eachother at all. If you go back and look at some of the few press photos they took together on IMDB you can def see the tension. I'm willing to bet she actually liked Vince Vaughn, even tough I'm sure he can be crass, he seems like he really gets along with pretty much everyone.

    ReplyDelete
  157. This is Denise Richards. She met Charlie Sheen on the set of Good Advice in 2001. He was banging Angie Harmon and Rosanna Arquette and dropped them to marry Denise.Obviously, Charlie was banging everything that moved and she paid for the abortions and then left him.

    ReplyDelete
  158. Some of these guesses are bizarre...

    SB? She adopted a black son. (Suggests she is not personally racist.) Her biggest movie/oscar-getting role (The Blind Spot) has a black person as the main star. (Suggests she does not refuse to be in movies with black people.)

    NK? She adopted a half-black son. She lived with Lenny Kravitz. I mean, c'mon now.

    Now, RW? Possible. Enty would have had to have fudged some of the early history, but not that much. It could be that some of her post-kiddie roles were gotten via casting couch. It could be that she seduced RP on the set of CI after meeting him at her bday party. Her movies do have uniquely few black people in them; it's kind of amazing if you go back and look through IMDB.

    ReplyDelete
  159. Reese did a movie in 1998 called Twilight with Paul Newman. She did full topless in that movie. Not a tit flash or side boob. A long full topless "get a good look boys", er Paul. Almost forgot about that. Saw the movie then and it would be something she would want to go away. Nice rack, though. Real.

    ReplyDelete
  160. @kriss_t I was wondering that also. That would open up the possibility of it being about someone like Sissy Spacek. She did some movies early that she might like to put a permanent lid on (extensive nudity). She worked with Brian De Palma early in her career who could be the mentor. But as far as I know she's been married to the same guy since 1974 - which rules her out.

    The other thing about this that makes me doubt Reese - just what has she done early that she'd want to put a lid on? She showed her tits for about 45 seconds in one movie and got finger blasted by Mark Wahlberg on a roller coaster in another.

    Just found this article about Reese accepting an award. From the way the article was written, she was definitely embarrassed but played it off. She even mentions how "back then" if you made a sex tape, you hid it under your bed or took a naked photo without showing your face.

    But still, I don't care how many sweetheart roles she does, she will always be Vanessa Lutz to me, lol.

  162. That Denise Richards guess is hilarious! That has to be a joke, right?

    ReplyDelete
  163. This is NOT Halle Berry. For a moment, I thought it was her because she allegedly backstabbed Jasmine Guy to get the lead in Queen years ago. However, she never married a co-star, and she still does projects with black and other non-white actors. Also, she never seemed to be trying to become "America's sweetheart." She's played too many disturbed characters - addicts, people with mental illnesses, etc.

    Also, despite her ugly custody and boyfriend issues, I always hear from people that she is a very sweet person on and off the set.

    ReplyDelete
  164. My brain was screaming "Reese Witherspoon" before I'd even finished reading the blind. Also funny that this blind followed Ted C's blind about Toothy Tile, whom many believe to be her ex Jake G.

    ReplyDelete
  165. Just a thought--the blind doesn't say her husband was a co-star or even an actor, just that they met on set. Could be a director, producer, etc.

    And Reese was already dating Ryan Phillipe before they started filming Cruel Intentions. If you have to adjust so many facts to make it Reese, you could adjust other facts to make other people fit.

    ReplyDelete
  166. Hmm, Hilary Swank. She DID meet Chad Lowe on a movie set, QUIET DAYS IN HOLLYWOOD, and the other actresses in the movie were Natasha Gregson Wagner (!), Meta Golding, and Rebecca Staab. I've never heard of the last two, so I don't think they're B-list, though.

    Still can't imagine Reese on the casting couch at THIRTEEN. No effing way.

    I think we're thinking too recently, as others have pointed out. This is very possibly someone much older.

  167. "@yeahwhatever I'm from Virginia and that's def not true. There's racism here sure, but it's not as prevalent as up north. I found that Pennsylvania and NYC are one of the most racist and segregated places I've ever been. It's not in your face at all, but the way people, especially minorities, don't mix in with everyone else to an extreme is unsettling."

    @XCentric- I think you really have to live in multiple cities/states within a region of the U.S. before you can arrive at the conclusion I have. It's not that minorities in big cities don't "mix in with everybody else" but IMO they just have more pride in their individual cultures and you find larger groups of EVERYBODY in bigger cities. I really felt that a lot of minorities in the South felt ashamed of their culture and more pressure to assimilate into White America.

    In my high-school days in TX in a predominantly white area, the few hispanic kids tried really hard to "be white" because that was the dominant group. In San Antonio where there was a large, proud hispanic population it was different. I have never seen segregation like I did in Alabama and North Carolina in any Northeastern city or anywhere on the West coast for that matter.

    Anyway, it's hard to generalize because it's very region-specific and socioeconomically dependent but I'm very comfortable saying southern whites are more racist than the rest of America. Been that way for hundreds of years and is very deeply ingrained in the culture.

    @Liz - I'm originally from Philly, too - from the 'burbs - and you are right. Anybody who says NYC and Philly have more racists than VA is sorely mistaken!

  170. Think it's Reese. I think she hit the casting couch after she abandoned college to try and hit the big time. This was after a few roles while still in hs. Per IMDB, she went full time hwood superstar wannabe after (i think) 1994, when she graduated.

    ReplyDelete
  171. I agree with those who say we are all thinking of actresses that are too young. Maybe that's why they don't fit.

    Who are the A-List actresses OVER 50? That may be where we can find this person.

    Could this person be deceased?

    I think the key to figuring it out may be related to the idea of an actress who was competing with another similar actresses competing for the same roles on more than one occasion.

    This sounds like it could be some old Hollywood drama! However, if we are going to stick with the youngsters, I think

    Reese Witherspoon and Hillary Swank are the only ones who seem to make sense.

  175. Strangely, I ordered Freeway, Pleasantville and Election earlier today. Reese is very talented, but the romcom roles have sucked, for the most part. I wish she'd do something quirky again.

    If she's a bitch, then I suspect it's because she doesn't want anything to do with monkeyshines like the stuff that was in the Hunger Games blind(s)...and, quite frankly, I don't blame her. I get the impression, from stuff I've read about her over the years, she treats acting like the work it is, as opposed to a lifestyle.

    ReplyDelete
  176. @Darkmyst: Great list! Let's not forget Barbra Streisand, Glenn Close, and Diane Keaton.

    And yet, none of those middle-aged screen divas works. None of them have "world sweetheart" reputations? Streisand, Streep, and Keaton used to, but they don't seem to fit most of the other characteristics.

    I still think the key is this:

    "It came to Backstabber's attention that there was a role which would be perfect for her but the lead had been promised to someone else. Another actress who had very similar qualities and beat out Backstabber for a career defining role and made her white hot. Destined for A list (and still with great name recognition), she made a few more movies and now has one bomb after another on television and in movies. "

    If we figure out whom this "victim" is - and it sounds more like Alicia Silverstone/Clueless/Legally Blonde than anybody else - then we figure out the backstabber.

    Alicia Silverstone is why we keep thinking it might be Reese Witherspoon.

    One of the key facts must be deliberately inaccurate. That's why nobody fits. There are s few A-list actresses and so much data, that this should lead to one clear name. But it doesn't. One "fact" must be deliberately inaccurate.

    Plus, I can't see that woman enjoying sex other than for the act of procreation. Then ... Jakey?? What red blooded sex loving woman would waste that much time with a guy who is sooooo obvs gay. And .. due to Reese's sexuality - or lack there of - haven't there been rumors of her having female liaisons from time to time?

    Walking Penis hubbie totally strikes me as Ryan .. I mean his most recent child pretty much says homie never wraps it up [stupid in this continuing age of AIDS/HIV, incurable clap and the like] .. so I can see Reese needing to pay for certain services during their marriage.

    Vince Vaughn .. hooker loving drunk.

    And looking at her roster of films .. I am hard pressed to recall any big name African-American stars being in any of her films. [Angela Bassett being the notable exception of the last at least 5 films?]

    So .. I'ma say Reese.

  181. @2flower: YES! I noticed that, too. I kept wondering if Handler was going to get in trouble for promoting another movie more than her own, especially because both films were out at the same time and neither film did well at the box office. That may have been Handler's way of letting people know that she didn't support the film or Reese.

    Okay, I give up. If it's not Debbie Reynolds, it must be Reese Witherspoon.

    It's almost too easy to say this is Reese. She fits the description a bit TOO well. But I'm racking my brain and no one else really fits:

    Angelina? Nope. She was legit hot and doesn't appear to be racist.

    Charlize? No. Even by H-wood's tough standards, she smokes almost everyone looks-wise. Plus never married.

    Halle? Nah. Up there with Charlize in the looks dept.

    Sandra? Only married once and adopted an African-American son. Has worked with AAs several times. Not her.

    Julia? Except for all her faults, racism doesn't seem to be one of them.

    Reese fits so well. It's just too easy. ?????

  183. Reese met Ryan P. at his birthday party (or it might have been hers) in 1997. They didn't meet on the set of Cruel Intentions. Thought that might be of some use here.

  184. Julia doesn't fit for one very obvious reason - Enty says:


    "Movies with black people? Not if she can help it. Earlier in her career she could not control it. Now? Casting approval. No black people. Other minorities? No thank you."

    Julia recently did Eat Pray Love with Javier Bardem who is Spanish. If she is racist and refuses to work in movies with other ethnicities then she definitely wouldn't have let him be cast in the movie. Also, Enty revealed her as the person who had an affair with Javier while Penelope was pregnant. I'm assuming if she's that much of a racist that she wouldn't be dating oustside of her race with Javier or Benjamin Bratt.

    Plus she also did Valentine's Day which starred Jamie Foxx and Queen Latifah.

    I think this is Reese. Ted C. has hinted for a while that Reese is a horrible person and a lot of the clues fit. After what we learned about Hayden I would not be surprised to find out that a young actress used the casting couch for parts. Very sad but definitely possible!

  185. @yeahwhatever and others- I was born and raised in the south (GA). I have lived my adult professional life in Boston. It is NOT true that people are more racist in the South. They are more overtly racist. There is still mad racism up here in the NE, it's just on the QT. Honestly I prefer the honesty rather than pretending that no one has any issues when they all still do (there have been race riots in Boston during my lifetime, they still do busing here as required by the federal government to comply w Brown v. BoE-- many places in the South aren't under that requirement anymore bc they complied more quickly). The reason it's more overt in the South is because people like my grandfather grew up in the shadow of a war, literally with buildings being rebuilt/still burned around him. It was very present in their lives. It is unfortunate it still continues and was one of the reasons I opted to not continue living there but I gotta say it is not unique to the South.

    WRT how this can't be Julia Roberts because of the MLK and Denzel stuff-- BS. The MLK stuff is so obviously PR its not funny. Again lots of people act one way in public and with "important" people and another way in private. So she may not be racist to the King family or Denzel, but to the random guy on the set... not at all the same story. I honestly know quite a few people from back home who have all the right connections with the black community, etc, so on paper you would never think they could possibly be racist, but in private say totally different things. JR's public image here is not necessarily how she is when she's not being watched.

    Finally as others have pointed out Reese has actress friends and graduated HS in TN so if this was her it means she was either flying back and forth in HS to do this, or as soon as she graduated did all of this prior to getting pregnant at 21 (?)... I do not buy it.

    I remain on the JBR train.
