Today's Blind Items - He Can't Stay Away From Hookers
This actor is just about A list. He does a mix of television and movies and is one of those guys who you just feel is on the way to superstardom, but just can't quite get the perfect role. I guess he would be A- then. He is married. Hooker stories would not be fun if the guy was not married. This would also get rid of Charlie Sheen which would be every person's guess for anything to do with a man and hookers. Oh, Sean Penn would be a guess too. But you know even in the middle of nowhere if you say actor and hooker, someone is going to say Charlie Sheen. This actor I am referring to is married as I said, and she is famous in her own right. In certain ways she might have eclipsed her husband's fame. The husband has been in trouble before with hookers. The thing is he loves them. He says that the first thing he does before going to a new city is to see what their escort situation is and he spends a few hours in front of the computer deciding which ones he is going to have and on what days and in what order. When he gets to the city he makes himself wait and then he invites them over one by one to the point where he has had four or five different women in one night. After being busted several times by his wife, he now has it down to a science and plans his schedule in advance to make sure that when he is with the women, his wife will be busy. She checks up on him constantly when they are apart. The thing is he rarely does anything while at home with anyone because he is too scared of getting caught and feels like when he is away from LA that most people don't know what he looks like. Well, no one said he was incredibly brilliant. After the last time he was caught his wife made him go to outpatient sex therapy. He still goes but the second he is out of town his fingers are dialing. He has not had sex with his wife in months and he said they once went a whole year without sex. This is his excuse for being with the hookers.
If he was sleeping with that many hookers, I wouldn't have sex with him either!

david d?
ReplyDeleteJosh Duhamel?
ReplyDeleteoh wow. never mind. he fits almost none of the clues
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI second that... Ew...
ReplyDeleteor Taye Diggs
ReplyDeleteDavid D kinda fits...wife is Tea Leoni, went to rehab for sex addiction...
ReplyDelete@Lohan, Mark - best guess so far. Especially the piece re. her fame possibly eclipsing his. Plus I think he looks like a sleeze. Didn't he refuse to turn his phone off on a plane once? Jackass.
ReplyDeleteDuhamel with Fergie fits, but A- is generous for him IMHO. Duchovny's star is moving down, not up, and Tea Leoni is not as or more famous than he, don't think he fits.
ReplyDeleteChanning Tatum and Jenna Dewan?
ReplyDeleteIsn't Duchovny screwing Gillian Anderson according to Enty's reveal on here? Guess Tea's ok with the open marriage thing.
ReplyDeletemy first thought was Fergie & Josh
ReplyDeleteThis is David beckham.
ReplyDeleteDavid is not an actor.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking Liev shrieber and Naomi Watts
ReplyDeleteBeckham's not an actor.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Taye Diggs, which I hate because I adore them as a couple. :(
Chris Hemsworth?
ReplyDeleteMy immediate thought was Fergie and Josh too.
ReplyDeleteOooo yep Liev is a good fit-but are they married? Josh D fits well too.
ReplyDeleteJosh Duhamel. He had the whole stripper scandal thing happen when he got married. It also fits with the "wife's career almost eclipsing his".
ReplyDeleteI like the Josh Duhamel guess, and I don't blame him. Fergie's a hot mess.
ReplyDeleteI am on the Fergie/Josh train.
ReplyDeleteCan somebody please enlighten me as to what "outpatient sex therapy" is?
ReplyDeleteMissed that part but everything else fits. Including that recent blind where the couple agreed to not have sex for a year everyone thought it was them.
ReplyDeleteAlsod there's all those rumors duchovny got divorced already.
Josh Duhamel wouldn't only be recognized in LA though. He was on All My Children for years and that was based in NY at the time.
ReplyDeleteI'm on board with Duhamel/Fergie guess.
ReplyDeleteHe's big in some huge movies such as Transformers... they just weren't huge because of him. However, I think Enty is being generous with the rating, and any description of Fergie would give this away.
OT, Enty !
ReplyDelete"Computer hacker who leaked nude photos of Scarlett Johansson 'will be ordered to pay her $66,000 and spend five years in jail',"
Plus I don't think Josh would be A-. He'd probably be B list tops.
ReplyDeleteLiev and Naomi aren't married. From what I know about when he filmed where I lived, he just picks up locals, not professionals.
ReplyDeleteJohn Krasinski? Does TV and movies married to Emily Blunt.
ReplyDeleteI second this.
DeleteAt least he is hiring professionals who usually use protection and should be discrete.
ReplyDeleteAm I stupid?? But the first person I thought of was Ben Afleck...
ReplyDelete"If he was sleeping with that many hookers, I wouldn't have sex with him either!"
ReplyDeleteExcept that maybe he started going to hookers because his wife stopped having sex with him. Or is just lousy/indifferent in the sack.
A healthy sex life is part of a healthy marriage.
This makes me sad. The kind of thinking that excuses a person who would step out because their partner is bad in bed?
DeleteIf that's the thinking, perhaps that person should decide they can't handle that BEFORE marrying them.
alabrava, that guess bums me out, but it's a really good guess.
ReplyDeleteAnother potentially painful one: William H. Macy and Felicity Huffman?
I am a little confused about Liev and Naomi. I've never read anything about them making it legal, yet I have heard him refer to her several times as his wife. So what gives?
ReplyDeleteAlso, it hurts my heart every time I read on here about what a douche he is to her. I love him so, and have for years.
Krazinski and Blunt would work, but it would make me much sadder than josh D and Fergie.
ReplyDeleteNot David Duchovny. He's very smart (check his wiki) and was on X-Files for 9 years and now Showtime. Everyone is going to recognize him. Tea and him are basically divorced anyway. They don't wear wedding rings and never show up anywhere together.
ReplyDeleteI love Fergie/Josh.
Outpatient therapy is any kind where the client/patient doesn't live in 24/7. In a program like this one, it might be 10-12 weeks of intensive/daily therapy, but the person commutes from his/her home.
ReplyDelete@Rins it bummed me out too as I really like both of them.
ReplyDelete"Also, it hurts my heart every time I read on here about what a douche he is to her. I love him so, and have for years."
ReplyDeleteYeah. He's such a good actor, he's friends with Jon Stewart...how can someone like that be a sleazy asshole in private?
Mind you, according to Enty he did punch out Sean Penn, so that's to his credit.
I like the John Krazinski and Emily Blunt guess.
ReplyDeleteI'm on board w John K!
ReplyDeleteJerry O'Connell and Rebecca Romijn.
ReplyDeleteI thought Duchovny and Tea quietly divorced within the last year or so. The only reason I don't think this is Josh and Fergie is the line "one of those guys you feel is on the way to superstardom". This would have fit Josh five of six years ago, but not so much now. This is something you say about a young star, someone rising. If that's the case, I think Krazinski and Blunt make more sense, but I don't think it is them either.
ReplyDeleteAKM, thanks .
ReplyDeleteChris Pratt and Anna Faris? Her pregnancy might have contributed to the lack of sexing for months. Moneyball was a big boost to his career, but I don't know if I'd call him A-.
ReplyDeleteI like the John Krazinski/ Emily Blunt guess.
ReplyDeleteDavid Duchovny? he has a history of cheating on Tea Lioni...
ReplyDeleteWhat about Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr?
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it took someone so long to guess our mascot, Affleck... Not that I want it to be him but he's who I IMMEDIATELY thought of. but I love Jen Garner and want to think that he's changed ... BWAHAHAHAHA! ;-)
ReplyDelete@Benny - I agree with you there, gotta have a sex life, but if she found out right after they got married, it would make it difficult to keep up the sexual relationship.
ReplyDeleteIt's one thing to have an affair, a completely different thing to be sleeping with hordes of... whores.
I like the Fergie and Josh guess, because I know his name, but would not know his face. Only if he were next to Fergie. With his history, maybe his not being recognized everywhere emboldens him.
ReplyDeleteIs he A- though? Is he 'rising'? I know none of his work (I'll have to google), so is he on the cusp of A? If any of you know how he fits that, I think it's solved.
And I agree with the above poster that at least he's using professionals. Not only is it STD-safer & more discreet, they aren't 'clingers'. Not that a habit of hookers is a recommended lifestyle, but any wealth, let alone celebrity, really attracts super-clingers!
The A- minus part of this is tricky
ReplyDeleteI'm going with Josh Duhmal mostly because I think Taye Diggs and John krasinki fall lower on the "list" than Duhmal
Also I really can't see Taye Diggs being like this
No way I would describe Josh Duhamel as close to All-Around A List but he was in those fucking awful goddamn shitty terrible Transformers movies, and those movies were very successful so I could see someone writing him up as near A list because of the success of those awful films. A very shallow person, but still...
ReplyDeleteMontana (10:15 AM) - You can have escorts written into your contracts? I chose the wrong line of work.
Is John Hamm married?
ReplyDeleteProblem with the Kransinki/Blunt guess: Enty has over-hinted forever that Krasinski is a cuckold, and it's Emily who cheats.
ReplyDeleteBut I think "The Office" is too popular everywhere for too long, and John is very distinctive-looking and tall. He doesn't strike me as not knowing he's very recognizable to most of America. I also think his career is a big question mark right now, not rising toward A.
But if it IS them, the 'one way she's eclipsed him' is her Oscar nomination.
Hamm is not married, famously. AND he's 'found his perfect role'.
ReplyDelete(I thought of him already.)
Thats exactly who i thought of as well.
ReplyDeleteI agree, it's not John Krasinski and Emily Blunt. The blind implies the couple have been married for awhile, Krasinski and Blunt just got married less than 2 years ago I think. It wouldn't make sense to just get married and then stop having sex, what's the point? Plus, John K. seems like he is really into Emily Blunt in the pap photos of them. I just can't on board with this guess.
ReplyDeleteHas Will Arnett done movies? Could it be him and Amy Poehler?
ReplyDeleteI hope not because I love them!!!
The namecheck of Sean Penn in the clues seems gratuitous since, though he's a cheatin' horndog, I don't think he has a rep. for pay-nookie. But Schreiber does more theatre than TV work, and so did Bill Macy until he got Shameless.
ReplyDeleteGoing by his IMDB credits, Duhamel hasn't done any marginal A-list level work except for the Transformers films. Megan Fox blipped to the edge of A-list briefly by virtue of leveraging her Transformers fame to get film leads. Duhamel hasn't even done that.
I think we're all way off track on this one so far.
Nick Offerman and Megan Mullaly!
ReplyDeleteThere have been whispers that Arnett & Poehler's marriage is in trouble, but I'd expect him to be on the down low with rent boys instead of hookers. He's a brilliant comic actor but he sends my gaydar a'clanging every time I see him.
ReplyDeleteOfferman & Mullally work together a lot, do interviews together, are always seen at events together...they seem pretty tight and loving. And he's not a stupid guy.
ReplyDeleteI also think it's Josh D and Fergie. He was hot for awhile, but now has sunk a bit. He's not so distinctive-looking (more generically handsome) that he might not be recognized. And BEP continues to do well. Plus it seems I've heard he's not the brightest bulb.
ReplyDeleteI thought the "eclipse" wording was weird so I googled Will Arnett and Eclipse and a clip from Up All Night popped up where he sang Total Eclipse of The Heart. Is this a really big reach?
ReplyDeletehttp://popwatch.ew.com/2012/04/13/up-all-night-season-finale-proposal/
Ice-T and Coco?
ReplyDeletePoehler has always been more famous/successful than Arnett and Up All Night has not been a hit so calling him marginally A-list would be a big stretch.
ReplyDelete@B. Profane I disagree that Amy Poehler has always been more famous/successful than Will Arnett. She was still just on SNL when he was on Arrested Development.
ReplyDeleteI think he's definitely A- in TV and he could be bigger in film if he had the right part.
Poehler was already famous from the Upright Citizens Brigade TV show before SNL, and by the time Arrested Development debuted she was already a star on SNL. Arnett was just one of many stars on A.D. and wasn't nominated for an Emmy until 2006. She's always been more famous than him.
ReplyDeleteSounds like Ben Affleck to me...and Jennifer Garner. He's been caught with hookers so many times before.
ReplyDeleteJosh Duhamel and Fergie are actually an excellent guess too.
ReplyDeleteDamian Lewis? Paul Bettany?
ReplyDelete(I was kidding about Nick Offerman and Megan Mullaly)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Affleck/Garner.
ReplyDeleteI really hope its not Ice-T and Coco! I really like them.
The blind says the actor "has been in trouble before with hookers." To me, that implies that the "trouble" has been made public, or at least been reported in the tabs/gossip blogs. I don't think there's ever been a whisper about Will Arnett in this regard, but Josh Duhamel was widely reported for having an affair with a stripper a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteI've always been a little puzzled by Josh Duhamel. He's good looking and charming on screen, but he always looks and acts like he is dumb as a rock. When he hooked up with Fergie, he was sort of at a career high point and I thought it was sad that given the choice, he chose Fergie. But as time has gone on, that's probably the best he could do. And the hooker thing makes sense because he makes me think he would have nothing to say outside of sex. His good looks seem wasted. I don't expect genius but he seems really dumb.
ReplyDeleteDIdn't I read somewhere about the Twilight guys having wild hooker and stripper parties?
ReplyDeleteIs Peter Facinelli married/close to A list?
Longtime reader, first time commenting... I agree with the Taye Diggs guess, as much as it hurts- I love him and Idina. It makes sense b/c she is one of the biggest names on Broadway and has quite an intense fandom. I remember reading years ago (in Movieline, maybe?) that Taye was always partying and would do so with Wilmer Valderrama. There were pix of them together out and about. Enough said. I would hate if this was true, though...but it just makes sense. He does movies, TV, and theatre, and never seems to quite get that solid A list role.
ReplyDeleteoooo 6 months ago I would have totally agreed with the Facinelli guess... I can maybe get on board with the Channing/Jenna guess (she looks like a bitch, not that that would make his behaviour ok...) but I'm not sold. Josh and Ben are not on the verge of breaking through with a great role, not for a long time now. John K is distinct looking and has been around long enough that he would get recognized (and he's smart so I'm sure he knows that) PLUS as others have mentioned, pretty sure Blunt is the one messing around, which makes her a huge bitch. Love. Him.
ReplyDeleteI think this is someone newer to the scene then what's been guessed so far... I just wish after all that that I had a guess to throw out. But I'm thinking...
I HATE agreeing with this, but I too think this is Josh & Fergie. Someone close to me is very close to one of them, and all signs point to them from all the crazy stuff I have heard over the years.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Josh is definitely not dumb. He is really easy to talk to and super down to earth. I would say that what you confuse for stupidity is more likely him being uncomfortable with her needing to be the center of attention 24-7. She loves being famous and is always concerned with staying relevant. That desperation gets irritating and he is more of a down to earth homebody kind of guy. NO excuse whatsoever for what this guy is up to, but there is a lot more going on in that relationship that makes this seem like this is probably those two to me.
I guess I am the only one here who thinks this is okay. From reading the blind it sounds like the wife knows about it and he doesn't do it when he is home, which I think is respectful. And I stand firmly behind my opinion that hiring professionals is not a moral failing. Plus it is much safer than picking someone up in a bar, or taking a star-f*cker to bed. Whomever the couple is, they appear to have come to some sort of agreement, and as long as they are honest about it, I don't consider it cheating.
ReplyDeleteBen Affleck popped into my head also...

ReplyDeletelikin the Josh Duhmel guess
ReplyDelete@Basil, she doesn't "know", it just says she is paranoid and checks in constantly when he is away (because she likely suspects- that can't be considered a mutual agreement). All it says is that he has been caught before and went through counseling, and that he doesn't want to get caught cheating when he is home so he saves most of his hooking up for when he goes to other cities. It is still behind her back. However, I agree with your what you are saying; if they had an arrangement and she was cool with it, this wouldn't really be worth a blind at all.
ReplyDelete"This makes me sad. The kind of thinking that excuses a person who would step out because their partner is bad in bed?
ReplyDeleteIf that's the thinking, perhaps that person should decide they can't handle that BEFORE marrying them."
Maybe because their spouse becomes lousy in the sack AFTER marriage?
Maybe because their spouse develops (of finally admits to herself about) a skeevy fetish that would creep out most people and that her husband can't possibly satisfy?
Who actually broke the marriage vows first in a situation like that?
David Dudchovny? He's gone to rehab for sex.
ReplyDeleteI think it's Taye Diggs. He's known to be a dirty cheater. Also, the description of the wife fits Idina perfectly. Fergie is flat-out more famous than Josh. "In certain ways" sounds just right for Idina being at the top of her field, but not as famous to the general population. It would also explain why she's too busy to keep close tabs on him, and why the might go a long time without sex. Being on Broadway means she's tied to NYC for long periods of time. Movie actors/musicians can flit about a lot more. Also, Taye definitely has the "it factor" that could shoot him to superstardom with the right role.
ReplyDeleteFreddy Prinze Jr?
ReplyDeletePaul Rudd
ReplyDeleteThere is no way it's Taye Diggs or Peter Facinelli. Neither one of them will ever get a role that makes them A or A+. They might be great looking but they're bland. Josh Duhamel was already a lead in that Las Vegas show and the adult costar in the Transformers movies. I'd say that's fairly close to A list given their bankroll.
ReplyDelete@unknown
ReplyDeleteNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
@unknown
ReplyDeleteI just googled Paul Rudd wife, and it immediately defaulted to Paul Rudd wife ugly. This is horseshit, so I am going to spend the whole night drinking coffee and googling Paul Rudd wife beautiful so it will change the GD algorithm.
*I like to use the word horseshit after my nightly glass of chardonnay*
I, for once, actually agree that this could be our site mascot, Ben Affleck!
ReplyDeleteNow that she's gotten the best of him (those adorable kids) Jennifer Garner should cut and run!
Have John and Emily Blunt been married long enough for this to happen? I don't think so....
ReplyDeleteThis really could be anyone. They all seem to suffer from the same disease - men who cheat and women who look the other way. Tiresome. A guy who cheats would be out the door for me - I don't get it. If she's also famous what the heck does she need him for?
@Elizabeth. Josh is great looking and I've also wondered why his star hasn't risen higher. Brad Pitt is about as intelligent as a door knob, so I don't think brains has anything to do with success in Hollywood. Although I definitely agree that Fergie is a big step down for anyone.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree on Brad Pitt. With Josh, Picking Fergie was like picking a stripper. Just eye-rolling.
ReplyDeleteWhat about William H. Macy and Felicity Huffman? He's been in plenty of A list movies and tv shows but usually as a supporting actor, which would fit the "right role" clue. You could say that Felicity's career eclipsed his during Desperate Housewives.
ReplyDeleteCould this be Steven Seagal
ReplyDeleteSteven was recently slapped with a lawsuit for sex trafficking. His wife was/is a dancer.
Delete@Sunny - your comment cracked me up. And I LOVE Paul Rudd so I totally get you wanting to defend his (& his poor wife's honor). ;)
