Today's Blind Items - She Gave Up The Baby To Him
This actress has gone through periods of depression and has attempted suicide more than once. She used to be getting close to A list and then drops back. She can't handle the pressure. The fame. It all goes to her head and makes her have more episodes that even her medications can't always help. Our actress started off with a bang in her very first role and she tried to keep it together, but the next year after a stint on a very popular show, she tried to take her life. Everyone was coming up to her and talking to her and acting like they knew her or at least her characters. She said later that it felt like a million people were in her head all the time. She has never really discussed the suicide attempts. Since then she has gone through a year of working really hard and then hiding for a year. She has had some crazy relationships over the years that always have been intense and crazy and passionate and end with huge arguments and fights. The whole cycle usually is one or two months. Then she goes back into her world. Not that long ago she had a baby as a result of one of her wild romances. She tried to take care of the baby and still brings the baby out for photo ops or interviews she knows she is going to have, but for the most part she has given up custody to the celebrity dad. She could not handle the pressure. She tries and the dad is willing to let her have the baby as much as she wants now that our actress has someone to watch her everyday. She is in a long term relationship for the first time in a long time. When she was not with someone, she would go periods of days or sometimes weeks without returning phone calls or answering the phone or answering her door and no one knew if she was alive or the baby.
Bridget Moynahan? Tom Brady celeb dad?
ReplyDeleteAnne Heche?
ReplyDeleteOhh,@ patty, that's a good guess!
ReplyDeleteJanuary Jones
ReplyDeleteHalle Berry
ReplyDeleteGreat guess Patty!
ReplyDeleteI like @Patty's guess.
ReplyDeleteIt also makes the comments Gisele made about being a mother to the child more interesting.
Anne Heche is a good guess, she really fits with the case of the crazies. I thought she was still with the father of her youngest child though. Doesn't she have two, one from her ex that she left for this one?
ReplyDeleteMaybe she's split from her 2nd husband? Anyone know?
Like the Bridget guess with the exception of her role on Blue Bloods, which seems like it would be difficult for this woman to maintain. But it doesn't say she isn't working...
ReplyDeleteI guess Halle has had relationships that last longer than a couple of months...so scratch that. Who is the famous father of January's baby? The rest of the clues seem to fit her though!
ReplyDelete@Patty Their kid is 4 or 5 now does it fit. This makes it seem like it was somewhat recent 1 maybe 2 years.
ReplyDeleteThis is could be a blind item about a friend of mine :( except being an actress or having a celeb baby daddy. No clue tho.
ReplyDeleteTom and Bridget were together for a while. Not a whirlwind romance
ReplyDeleteThis makes me sad. Depression is horrible.
ReplyDeleteBut BM and TB were together for a long time -- not one or two months as the BI suggests.
ReplyDeleteMoynahan has been in a long-term relationship with McG since 2010, according to Wiki. That would be her first relationship since 2006, when she and Brady broke up.
ReplyDeleteSad... Mental illness is a horrible thing to have to deal with.
ReplyDeleteVery sad.

ReplyDeleteI don't know this Bridget lady from Eve. She was almost A-list at some point?
ReplyDeleteTB and BM were together for 2 years not a short time like the BI suggests. She has said they didn't know she was even pregnant when they broke up found out 3 months after.
ReplyDeleteActually, it doesn't say anything about the specific relationship that produced the child. It says that it was crazy and passionate and that her normal relationships last two months. They could be mutually exclusive in this case.
ReplyDeleteThat said, it does read as if the child is quite young, but that could be Enty trying to throw us off.
If it is JJ then I won't give her any trouble for her unsociable behavior.
ReplyDeleteJJ still has her baby though I think.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteBridget Moynihan's first role was nothing special. Before she dated Tom Brady, she dated another guy for three years, according to IMDB.
ReplyDeleteI also think that Enty shouldn't refer to the kid as a baby unless he or she is under 3. Her kid is turning 5 this month.
Anyway, doesn't mean that it isn't her, but I think that we should see if we can come up with someone else.
Doesn't sound like her.
Delete"Started off with a bang" sounds like a clue regarding her first role.
ReplyDeleteI guessed JJ and after re-reading the Blind i'm not sure it's her. It says "after a stint on a very popular show". She has been on Mad Men from the beginning correct? That wouldn't qualify a stint. Has she done other TV?
ReplyDeleteevangeline lilly? (haven't checked imdb yet but for some reason thought of her)
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting guess but does she have a baby?
DeleteYea
Deletesounds way worse than depression to me. Mental illness is horrible.
ReplyDeleteBridget was never in any way shape or form ever an A list. Not even close. She's lucky if she hits a C list on a good day.
ReplyDelete...and FYI...Tom broke up with Bridget because she's a plain old raging manipulative biatch who wanted him to marry her. His family hated her and loved Giselle. I know this because my bro in law is very close friends with the Brady family and was even at the sister's wedding.
Love the Evag Lilly guess. That sounds about right.
ReplyDeleteHer baby daddy isn't a celebrity, though. That said, I have no guesses.
DeleteThis reads like someone older, to me.
ReplyDeleteJanuary Jones works too much, Halle's relationships tend to last longer than a couple of months, and as much as I hate Bridget Moynahan, I don't think she fits the timeline (and she's more a C-lister).
ReplyDeleteI feel like maybe figuring out what the popular TV show was is key to this one....
I was thinking Evangeline Lilly too but it doesn't seem the baby daddy is a celeb, unless she lied and it was that Dominic Monaghan guy.
ReplyDeleteEvangeline didn't do a "stint" on a show. She was on "Lost" from beginning to end. I don't think this is her, either.
ReplyDeleteThe pieces would fit for Bridget M. except for the fact that she was with Tom for 2 years. Her first big TV role was Sex in the City. Also, I remember meeting her in November 2006 at a fashion event, and she was with Michael Kors, Zac Posen & Jane Krakowski. Her show Six Degrees had just started and I told her how much I loved the show. What is so ironic is that I remember talking with her & thinking how depressed she seemed that night. My friend actually asked her for a picture with her and she barely smiled. You could tell she wasn't into it.
ReplyDeleteSounds like someone who was on a season or less of a show--kinda like how Tom Selleck played Monica's boyfriend on Friends. We need to think of popular shows where one of the main guys had a girlfriend for several episodes.
ReplyDelete"Our actress started off with a bang in her very first role and she tried to keep it together, but the next year after a stint on a very popular show, she tried to take her life. Everyone was coming up to her and talking to her and acting like they knew her or at least her characters."
ReplyDeleteCharacters...plural, as in characters on the same "very popular show"? Sounds like a SNL actress to me...
Whoever this is I feel for her. I was severely depressed in my younger years, whilst I was raising children and sometimes when I look back I wonder how exactly my children and I made it through.
ReplyDeleteThis one gives me the sads. Mental illness is not a joke and needs proper care just like heart disease or diabetes. Hope this poor woman gets help and that her baby is somewhere safe while she gets the care she needs.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea who it could be.
Dia~ I got my placement! Here a percent little guy about 11 months old. He's been here for about a week. He is not available for adoption just yet but it looks like it will go that way. Lots of meetings and evaluations right now but that should calm down. Thought you might want to know!
Deleteit can't be evangaline lilly as she didn't have her baby with a celebrity. guesses have to fit all of the clues, not just a few.
ReplyDeleteit doesn't seem like jan. jones or halle either. halle is working and is at least A list if not A+. also, the child is still a baby, and halle's child is older than that.
thanks for the tutorial
ReplyDeleteIf this is Moynahan, think of all the shit she took from people who confuse TV and reality for keeping Carrie and Big apart.
ReplyDelete"Characters...plural, as in characters on the same "very popular show"? Sounds like a SNL actress to me..."
ReplyDeleteAny working actress will be doing multiple characters. Besides, no SNL mommy is married to a celebrity except for Amy Poehler and she's seen with her kids all the time.
I'm sure it's probably not her, but what about Minnie Driver? She has a baby with someone who COULD be a celebrity (she won't reveal who he is), and she hit it pretty big with Circle of Friends. Also, she's been on Will and Grace...
ReplyDelete"Started off with a bang in her first role." JJ first movie was about Handguns and shooting an intruder.
ReplyDeleteMaybe calling it a "stint" on a popular show is to make it less obvious? I don't watch Mad Men but do know that people have strong opinions about her character on the show. I bet lots of people say stupid things to her.
MissPixy - I was just going to guess Minnie Driver. However, if it's a celebrity dad, we'd almost have to know, because there would be a celebrity dad walking around with a baby no one knows he has.
ReplyDeleteMinnie Driver has revealed who the father is. He was a writer on The Riches which she starred in.
ReplyDeleteI thought Minnie Driver did reveal the dad. I have to look it up.
ReplyDeleteI'm going with BM and think "Not that long ago she had a baby as a result of one of her wild romances." can apply to a 5 year old (not born that long ago) and TB was a wild romance! Google image BM and her son and there are only photos of them together when he was a baby/toddler, nothing more recent.
ReplyDeleteAh ok! I'm a long time lurker, first time guesser, so now i've got my feet wet in the blind items game!
ReplyDeleteI don't know her history, but maybe Selma Blair? She's always seemed a bit moody and odd to me.
ReplyDeleteIt's not January Jones. She has more than a stint on Mad Men, she is a main character and the show is not over yet. She was filming Mad Men at the end of her pregnancy AND after the birth of her baby. There are stories about her breastfeeding her baby in between donning the "fat suit" she wore for all of season 5. This feels like someone who wasn't working for a long time after the birth of her baby. Plus, she never "brought her baby out" for photo ops or interviews. She always does group those along with the Mad Men cast, I don't think I've ever seen her do any alone.
ReplyDeletelizjaxe beat me to it ;)
ReplyDeleteI was thinking Brady and Bridget while reading this but some things don't fit.
ReplyDeleteEvangeline is filming The Hobbit.
Selma Blair is doing Anger Mangement with Charlie Sheen.
ReplyDeletehmm. anne h. or halle?
ReplyDeleteanne:
'stint on a very popular show' = men in trees
'some crazy relationships' = ellen
'celebrity dad' = james tupper (men in trees)
-child is currently 3 yrs old
halle:
'stint on a very popular show' = knot's landing
'some crazy relationships' = all of them
'celebrity dad' = model dude whatshisname
-child is currently 4 yrs old
"Besides, no SNL mommy is married to a celebrity except for Amy Poehler and she's seen with her kids all the time."
ReplyDeleteI thought maybe I was losing it, but I reread it twice and I see no mention of marriage. Custody arrangements also happen between unmarried folks.
Halle has talked about her suicide attempts but think they were when she was a teenager.
ReplyDeleteAnne Heche fits best I think
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not Selma Blair - she's been with her baby daddy (Jason Bleick) for quite a few years and they seem to be a fairly happy, normal, down to earth family unit.
ReplyDeleteFor those who guessed Tom Brady...
ReplyDeleteThere is a pic of Giselle and both of Tom's sons taken today at Patriots training camp. No Bridget in sight.
Yeah, I like Anne Heche for this. Selma Blair is involved with childrens' charities and stuff, too. That seems like it would be an odd choice for someone who doesn't really want anything to do with their kid.
ReplyDeleteWhoever it is she must live in hell. She sounds like she suffers from schizophrenia. I hope she finds some medication that helps her. Just too sad.
ReplyDeleteI do like the Minnie Driver guess because she seems to have had fits and starts in her career.
I am thinking someone else, not Bridget, not Selma, none of the guesses today...I feel like I should know who this is. I had my head thinking Ashlee Simpson, but it doesn't really fit. Someone like that maybe?
ReplyDeleteThe father of Anne Heche's son is not a celebrity. Other than that most clues point to her. She's always been a bit of a loon.
ReplyDeletewhat about rachel dratch?
ReplyDeleteRachel is in a very stable relationship with her baby daddy and is even talking about another child
Deletei think this is supposed to be bridget, though not everything fits 100%. started off with a bang could be coyote ugly - true it wasn't her very first role but it's the role that really launched her career. and her sex and the city stint did follow that. i think you could argue she was close to A-list in the early 2000s, when she was in some big movies and just after sex and the city.
ReplyDeleteThis is so sad. Depression is a terrible, terrible thing.
ReplyDeleteRachel Dratch without a doubt:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/03/26/amy-poehler-talks-to-rachel-dratch-about-her-memoir.html
Wrote her memoir after hitting "rock bottom"
Unexpected pregnancy at 44
BF moved closer to them after his birth to help out
Did 6 episodes on king of queens
So sad.
"I thought maybe I was losing it, but I reread it twice and I see no mention of marriage."
ReplyDeleteSorry, my mistake. The two unmarried SNL mommies are Maya Rudolph and, as someone else mentioned, Rachel Dratch. Maya, of course, has three kidlets with the three-first-names guy, not one. Rachel's baby daddy isn't famous.
Totally not Dratch. No suicide attempt. No history of crazy relationships. She's had sole custody of her tot since the day he/she was born. I can go on....
ReplyDeleteAnd Dratch isn't in a LTR and hasn't been...although one hopes that maybe her and her baby daddy might end up together. The guy is totally un-famous, though, so this can't be Dratch.

ReplyDelete"stint" on second city
Her memoir mentions that her relationships were so bad that she though one was a cannabol.
Sigh. Second City isn't a "role," and she didn't start out with a bang on SNL. Give it up, it's not Dratch. She wasn't happy about getting passed over/betrayed for the lead in 30 Rock, but she has not been a reclusive wreck since she left SNL. The clues totally don't fit her.
ReplyDeleteSounds like Heche. She won a Daytime Emmy in her first role in Another World ("started off with a bang"). Going "back to her world" could be a clue.
ReplyDeleteShe was then on 1 episode of Murphy Brown at its apex. 2 years later did 1 episode of Young Indiana Jones.
She basically lost custody of her first child Homer to her first husband, but he's not really a celebrity, he's a cameraman named Coley Lafoon. His celeb status may be made up to throw us off a little.
The rest of the details are pretty much public knowledge.
I definitely think this is Anne Heche. She is from Chicago and her family has spoken about her mental illness.
ReplyDeleteBut Anne Heche has two sons. Wouldn't that have been mentioned?
ReplyDeletealso no way was rachel dratch ever close to A-list
ReplyDeleteReading this BI I'm thinking Mena Suvari. Am I wrong?
ReplyDelete@crila 16. Thank you! I have always told people that BM trapped TB into pregnancy. She wanted to get married and he wanted OUT. Not only because he met Gis. If this is her, I will be nicer about hating on her, but I have no tolerance for women who use pregnancy/babies as pawns to try and own the father.
ReplyDeleteaw reading those articles about rachel dratch made me kinda sad. are she and her son's father still together? she is so talented and you do get the feeling that if she were more attractive her career/life would have been so different - look at amy poehler or tina fey vs her. kind of sucks bc male comedians certainly don't have to be attractive in order to be successful. i hope she's happy and doing well.
ReplyDeleteAre we reading the same blind? Bridget Moynihan doesn't fit. Her "very first role" was a minor blip that didn't bring her any fame. She had two or three more roles before Coyote Ugly. Even if Enty is fudging a bit and meant her very first FILM role, were that role and her role in SAtC REALLY big enough, important enough, that people would act like they knew her/the characters?
ReplyDeleteMoynahan does NOT have a pattern of working a year and not working a year. Especially recently--she's been on a television show for two years now. She does NOT have a pattern of relationships that last one or two months--if anything, she's a serial monogomist.
She also comes from a super-tight family who would not let their grandchild/nephew be in harm's way like that. And do you honestly think Tom Brady would let weeks go by without finding out how his infant child was, as implied by the last line of the blind? If that were the case, he would have had someone out there and full custody, pronto.
I can't help but think "started off with a bang" is important. What actress was killed off in her first role?
ReplyDeleteAnne Heche was on Another World for several years, not a one off. I don't think this is her.
ReplyDeleteAnne Heche played twins on "Another World". Marley and Vickie. Looking back I seem to recall one of the twins being in trouble for a shooting. I was really young when my mom watched this but it rings a bell. It would go with the blind well. Soap opera characters get a lot of fans who have a hard time telling reality and the show plot apart.
ReplyDeleteBridget is a great guess. I was just looking at a photo of The Brady family earlier and noticing how his boy with Bridget was there with him and Giselle and they were all looking like a neat and tidy little family. Though he wouldn't qualify as a baby..but other stuff fits here.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't the phrase about getting see the baby since there is always someone there to watch HER, mean the child is female?? Or is it meaning the mom?
ReplyDeleteJust throwing it out there as another single hollywood mom, Jaime Pressly! I don't think it is Bridget because too many clues don't fit... Although the clues don't work perfect for Jaime either, she does seem to have crazier relationships.
ReplyDelete"[Dratch] is so talented and you do get the feeling that if she were more attractive her career/life would have been so different - look at amy poehler or tina fey vs her."
ReplyDeleteThe ironic thing is that back when they had a two-woman show together, Dratch was consider the pretty one. There's a clip of them doing PR for the show on the 'net: Rachel looks cute and and girly,and Tina looks like a bitter, Greek pixie-dyke.
I saw Dratch on Ferguson's show pitching her book recently and she seems much happier. She also seems to have gotten a good stylist because, though she's as curvy as ever, she looked hot.
Seems like Pressley's problem is just being a big ol' white trash drunk. I've got a few cousins like that.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first started reading the blind, I immediately thought of Samaire Armstrong - but I don't think she has a baby.
ReplyDeleteAlthough she's been working steadily for a long time, we (okay, me) first became familiar with her on the OC, which she left abruptly. Same thing happened when she was on Dirty Sexy Money. I remember hearing she had serious issues, although I can't remember if they were mental health or drugs. But again, I don't think she has a baby.
I also find it hard to believe this could be Bridget Moynihan, as she's been working pretty steadily.
Don't know if it fits Bridget, but just had to share my encounter with her. Years ago when I lived in Vancouver, I was a supervisor at a hotel she was staying at, and I happened to answer a call from her as everyone disappeared when her name came up on the caller id. She screamed and yelled at me becos she didn't like the colour of the bed covers. Called me names as well. After I got off the phone I checked her profile as we created profiles for repeat guests and celebrities, and in there was written that she needed to be treated with great caution and care cos she was just a horrible and nasty guest. Worked in that hotel for 2.5 years and never experienced a guest as nasty as she was. So was happy when Tom dumped her. Sorry for the long spiel.
ReplyDeleteSharon Stone, the father has the custody, always thought it was weird.
ReplyDeleteAlso some other actress recently I read something similar but can't remember right now.
@SashaJames2- First off, I thank you for sharing your story.
ReplyDeleteSecond, I don't know about you, but I can't ever see myself becoming so "high Profile" that I would EVER bitch about the color of the sheets, especially at a hotel.
Sounds a bit like my Carol Alt experience. She'd come into a restaurant on Greenwich ave that I used to hostess at, and no one, and I mean NO ONE would ever want her in their section (she was very high on herself, and so far from being the most high profile celeb to come into the eatery, but that didn't phase her). Once, it was her birthday, and her hubby wanted us all to sing happy b-day, as we usually did for every customer...however, only myself and one other waiter who I was kinda seeing at the time came forth to sing. Everyone else disappeared.....and when you tips are involved and ppl STILL disappear, you know you're unliked.
//I still don't know if I'd go with the Moynihan guess for this blind though. I sounds a bit more like the Dratch guess. Her eyes always look so sad.
Stone adopted a couple more kids, plus she hasn't done any TV since her early years. And she was definitely A-list at the height of her career.
ReplyDeleteNeither Dratch or Moynahan Have ever even been close to A-list, and Halle is Actively fighting for custody of her kid, so it doesn't seem like she'd be giving up the baby to her ex so easily...
ReplyDeleteHeche is nuts & was close to A-list in the late 90's, so even if everything's not a 100% certain fit, she's probably the best guess so far.
I think this fits Bridget. The stint on a popular show would be Sex and the City. And she has worked kind of on and off over the years. Her breakout role was probably Coyote Ugly but she has also been in I-Robot. If this is her this is so sad. I feel for her but she has been in a long term relationship with McG so he could be helping her through her demons. And it makes sense Gisele and Tom always have their son with them. I rarely see Bridget with him. So sad :(
ReplyDeleteI love her.
i like the sharon stone guess. she's talked about how depressed she was after her divorce, not getting out of bed, etc.
ReplyDeleteI think this is Anne Heche too. My God, this woman has been through hell. Sibling who committed suicide, molested by her father, father dying in his 40's from Aids.
ReplyDeleteHer "characters" - The twins on Another World
"Felt like a million people were in her head" - After Anne had her breakdown when the relationship with Ellen ended, it seemed like she had a psychotic break. Claiming to be an alien named Celestia etc
"She goes back into her world" - again, claiming to be an alien named Celestia
A pregnancy as a "result of one of her wild romances" - Anne broke up with Coley because of her affair with "celebrity" James Tupper. Co-star of Men in Trees
"She has had some crazy relationships over the Years" - At least publicly, she has only had one lesbian relationship. That was with Ellen DeGeneres
I don't know if she's still with James Tupper, but Coley seemed to be raising their son Homer under the assumption it was difficult to care for him while she was filiming Men in Trees in Canada. A lot of unknowns to her current situation, but she has been through quite a bit in her lifetime so I feel it would explain a lot of her mental health issues now.
Didn't Anne Heche fight for custody when she divorced?
ReplyDeleteAnd we see January Jones with her little boy every week in the photos. If her secret baby daddy had custody how would that work? She is out and about (at least in the photos) with her child a lot.
How about Tea Leone and David Duchovny? (I can't spell). If you look at the item on David, Enty muses why David has custody of their kids.
ReplyDeleteSomebody from Big Bang Theory?
ReplyDelete@Mrs. E
ReplyDeleteWhat's funny is that in the article posted about Rachel Dratch, she mentions Minnie Driver:
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/03/26/amy-poehler-talks-to-rachel-dratch-about-her-memoir.html
"Rachel: That’s so funny, ‘cause after all my no-work lamenting in the book, right when the book comes out, I get a pilot. It’s written by Kari Lizer who wrote The New Adventures of Old Christine. We just shot it the other night in L.A. and it’s with Minnie Driver and Andrea Anders and I think it’s really funny so, we’ll see."
@sunny - I think you're right. Anne has always been a bit unstable. Didn't know about the dad and sibling though. Thanks for breaking it down.
ReplyDeleteAnna is right, I think. I just saw that blind about Gillian Anderson and David Duchovny! Didn't realized that he has full custody of his kids with Tea Leoni. Sad.
ReplyDeletehalle
ReplyDeleteThat's what I was thinking. The blond from big bang theory .. But she was never A list.
ReplyDeleteI got all the way down here without anyone guessing Katherine Heigl. Awesome. She's mine.
ReplyDeleteKatherine seems thrilled with motherhood and has just adopted her 2nd child. Definitely not her.
DeleteWhat about Shannyn Sossamon?
ReplyDeleteThe movie being A Knight's Tale, and the show being Law and Order:SVU.
Shannyn Sossamon was also in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang hence the "started off with a bang" comment. First time writing on this!
DeleteSF
Halle hates GA too much to ever give him Nahla.
ReplyDeleteI HATE depression & mental illness with a passion. It's a bitch and so is Minnie Driver. I CAN'T with her.
Not Rachel Dratch! She is a lovely, normal person and her book is great. After reading it I felt like she is the most normal celeb in the world.
ReplyDeleteRachel Lee Cook.
ReplyDeleteI was almost gonna saw Rose McGowan, until the baby part came along. She has/had issues, crazy relationships (Mr Manson anyone?/stolen Robert Rodriguez from his wife). First big role was Scream, she was killed off, then did Charmed and is really screwing up her face now.
ReplyDeleteBridget Mon-something is a good guess. Sad..
