Today's Blind Items - The Crash & Burn
It was not that long ago that this actress was headed for A list status. She kept getting the female leads in movies and was getting her name above the title and then one day it just seemed to vanish out of nowhere. The biggest clue I can give you is that she dated someone who also dated a blind item star of the past few weeks. She also has starred in a very big franchise.
This actress is probably a C- right now for what she is doing now, but still has great name recognition. She might even have an A list name recognition. Before our actress hit the big time, I knew her and she was just someone who was trying to make it. Her only vices were shots and chain smoking. When she began to hit it big she got introduced to coke. She told me about the first time she did coke and said she wanted to stay awake for days on end and never stop doing it and she felt like it was her best friend. This was after just one night. Our actress got so hooked on coke that she spent an entire paycheck from a movie on coke. Over $1M in just a few months was gone on coke. Then, still addicted, but not really able to pay for it, she got involved with a group of guys who kept her supplied but they had to do her favors. Not for them. They thought she was already too cracked out, but they certainly gave her to investors because they wanted to prove they had connections and because our actress at the time drove guys crazy. The group of guys got their money which they used for businesses but also skimmed off a huge chunk.
Meanwhile, our actress was still addicted to coke, and was not getting any parts. She still had fame and was making money doing promotions, but the bulk of her income came from hiring herself out to whoever could afford her. Just because she was strung out does not mean she could not charge high prices. A night with our actress cost upwards of $25,000, plus she got free booze and drugs and it was not a bad way to make a living. Her family staged several interventions, but they never worked. Our actress became known as someone who could keep her mouth quiet and was up for anything. If you had enough money, anything was game.
Actors, athletes, actresses, anyone and everyone this actress f**ked for money. No matter that her most recent movie was becoming a faded memory, people still lined up to give her money to sleep with them. She slept with the entire male cast of this very popular hit comedy that has launched a bunch of careers. They had a party and invited her. She was the only guest. When this A++ list movie actor and former co-star was having premature problems, he called her and they spent once a week together for a year until he felt confident again.
Then about 18 months ago, the drugs and booze finally got to our actress and she had an overdose/heart attack. Something serious happened. She was in Europe on a yacht and almost died. This was her wakeup call. Her rock bottom. She was not earning as much money from selling her body and her body was not going to last much longer anyway. She said she went four years straight of doing coke everyday but a week when she was with a guy who would not let her do any. She had charged him extra.
So, our actress started reconnecting with people and the next thing you know she got an indie and a guest spot on a very popular show and even a nice feature film. She even managed to get back in touch with me and says she is on a very precarious edge. She slips frequently and has accepted offers from men, but is slowly turning her ship around. Would be nice to see.
