Four For Friday - It Hurt So Bad
It is another week gone by. Less than 10 weeks to Christmas. Which means of course it is just 11 weeks to reveal day. Of course every Saturday I try to do a reveal or two right here and blog all weekend so I hope you will come and stop by. Please follow me on Twitter. I am @entylawyer. I hope everyone has a great weekend.
It all started for this B-/C+ actress when she came home from work one day. Her new husband, who is an A lister now, but at the time was also a B-/C+ had been turned down for a new role. Our actress was a little late and she said that our actor jumped on her from the time she entered the door and grabbed her and slammed her against the front door. She says she could feel the doorknob in the small of her back and had a bruise afterwards for a week there. He kept his forearm under her neck and asked where she had been and who she had been with and seemed to think she was cheating on him. He always thought that. She had caught him cheating on her twice while they were dating and this was not the first time he had got rough with her. He had slapped her twice and was always calling her names. S**t and who*e were his favorites. He always apologized for hitting her. He never apologized for calling her names. The never ending verbal abuse if she was two seconds late or he had a bad day. Nothing like the charming A lister he is today. She says it is because of her that he is even where he is today because she introduced him to the person who gave him his first huge break. What did she get for it? Well that day with the doorknob in her back and then he started coking her. Really violently. Calling her every name in the book. Slamming her back against the door again and again. The actress says she has never had a more terrifying experience in her life and knows it is cliche but even though she had married the guy she had no idea who it was at the door and she just thought of him as some random stranger attacking her. She is pretty sure he would have tried to rape her but she was wearing jeans and she was not and is not a weak woman. She screamed. Loud. He was always afraid of people knowing his secrets. He backed off. She ran out. Never came back. Sent some people to collect her things.
Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Esposito.
ReplyDeleteI hate it when people coke me.
ReplyDeleteIs that Bubbles from trailer park boys?
Deletehee hee good one @FSP
DeleteDrugs are bad mmmkay
DeleteBradley Cooper
ReplyDeleteI thought the very same thing JE/BC
ReplyDeleteLove the Bradley Cooper/Jennifer Esposito guess.
ReplyDeleteAnyone else? I feel like this could fit a number of couples.
Jeff Goldblum - Geena Davis
ReplyDeleteOk for shitz and giggles, Mimi Rogers and Tom Cruise LMAO
ReplyDeleteread it as Bradley Cooper and Jennifer all the way through. Enty's got a hate on for him
ReplyDeleteThe first sentence made me think channing tatum and wife. Boy was I wrong by sentence two! I will go B Coops.
ReplyDeleteI'm behind the BC/JE guess. There have always been rumors that he got violent with her. And, IIRC, they were only married for like a few months.
ReplyDeleteWhen I read it, I thought Tom Cruise, but he and Mimi were married three years; wouldn't qualify as a "new husband." Jennifer and Bradley were married less than a year. Sounds like it fits them
ReplyDeleteI believe we knew this was coming. I think Himmm had hinted at it.
ReplyDeleteJust to be contrary, how about Clooney and ex Talia... only married a few months.
ReplyDeleteOn board with the clooney guess
Deletethats what i think too. I'm from near where he grew up and I long heard stroies about his temper
DeleteI like the Goldblum guess. I know for a fact, from experience, he is a dick. Poor Geena.
ReplyDeleteI'd hate for this to be BC. Besides, I heard they divorced because she found him in bed with a man.
Mell61, I thought about that, but he's A+.
ReplyDeleteI'd believe it as BCoop. Not sure about the gay thing but he gives off a vibe in those eyes that I have seen in an ex.
ReplyDeleteClooney was married from 1989-1993, not a few months.
ReplyDeleteIsn't there supposed to be four people involved in a Four For Friday???
ReplyDeleteMaybe they have imaginary freinds
DeleteLOL...
Deleteyou guys are good. if it is b coop, then what was the role he was turned down for and what role was his breakout role?
ReplyDeleteI have no idea.
Cooper.
ReplyDeleteI would say Goldblum was A list when he was married to Gena.
I do not like men who abuse their power. That is all. Sorry this is my theme today (and not bc anything bad happened. Mr Papaya has been my hero all week!) My inner super hero is pissed off!
ReplyDeleteI want to know who this asshat is. You know he's still doing it!
Probably BC / JE
And since when does Enty *** out slut and whore? As I read this I thought it was anoter name for fecal matter then got stuck on the wh word. Took me a second to get it back in gear.
ReplyDeleteTurkish Taffy is right. This is old Himmmm news
ReplyDeleteWhy do we never hear about this stuff in the mainstream? Violent asses like this shouldn't be protected, no matter how much money they bring in for the hollywood machine. Why do the exes never speak out? I've never been in an abusive relationship, so maybe there's a psychological factor I'm missing, but it's just disgusting.
ReplyDeleteDamn, I've thought Bradley Cooper looked like a rapist from the very first time I saw him. I don't know that I'm happy to be vindicated, though.
ReplyDeleteBut Jennifer Esposito caught Bradley Cooper in bed with a guy, that's why she ended it with him I had heard. I didn't know it was cause he got violent.
ReplyDelete@Turkish Taffy...what did Himmmm hint at? I must have missed it.
ReplyDeleteFrom this list of the shortest celebrity marriages, Brad and Jennifer are the only couple I can see where the husband subsequently became A-list.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.extratv.com/2011/11/01/list-of-the-shortest-celebrity-marriages/#shortest_celeb_marriages
Again, it's not Clooney. He was not a "new" husband after 3-4 years.
Could it be Jenny Garth and her ex? He was a nobody and after Nurse Jackie, Twilight, is bigger now than she is.
ReplyDeleteHe also strikes me as a jerk. And though frail now, she strikes me as a fighter if only for her three girls?
They were married for like 11 years
DeleteIf it is Bradley C, he went on to date Renee Z. That girl sure can pick 'em.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you all. I read this as B Coop.
ReplyDeleteCooper seems like too obvious an answer for it to be him. I like the Jennie Garth guess.
ReplyDelete@katie, Jennie Garth and Peter Facinelli were married for a long time (11 years, I think) so he wouldn't be a "new" husband. Also, he's not A list.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, not enough coffee today. He's still a jerk though, right ?
Delete@katie, yes he is!
DeleteCooper is the new Affleck for guesses. I agree it fits this one though.
ReplyDeleteJane, I thought Channing Tatum too but after reading more i guess not. That sucks, so wtf is bradley cooper? Gay or teeny peen or violent or all the above....if so then he must be a better actor than i thought.
ReplyDeletewhat about Jim Carrey and Lauren Holly? They were married 10 months and the "first big break" could be reffering to Dumb and Dumber...which she also starred in so maybe she introduced him to someone connected to the movie, thus getting him the role.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good guess
Delete@Alma - Si!
ReplyDeleteFSP that is awesome! :)
DeleteThis is confusing and I don't care either way. Could be so many couples, I feel like we have had this blind before.
ReplyDelete@CamColty that baby is adorable:) I want to bite his cheeks:)
ReplyDeleteDon't! Ha ha. Same here though. Every time i see that baby "awwwww". Cutey.
DeleteSo B.Cooper is A list? Okay, I'm out of it and so glad I have no idea who this guy is. Hope to keep it that way. (And that applies for both Cooper and the blind creep -- or just the one if that's the case).
ReplyDeleteIs Jeff Goldblum A-list? And would he be described as charming?
ReplyDeleteBradley Cooper/Jennifer Esposito
ReplyDeleteThey were married for a matter of months and were on equal footing when they were married, though she was probably better known. (I think she's a little older and had been around longer.)
Also, she doesn't seem like someone who would take a lot of shit.
@ crilla: A recent one, if memory serves me right. Something about BC was the wrong answer for that one, but there IS a reason to think he is a jerk.
ReplyDeleteThe blind yesterday about the star who supposedly killed a lover. Himmmn said: Ffs.....Bradley Cooper.
DeleteThe blind everyone believed to be Goldblum described him as quirky or nerdy or something, and he's into a little bondage play.
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely in line with the comment Himmmm posted warning Zoe - he even told her to call Jennifer. Maybe BC seems like too obvious of a guess, because Enty wanted it to be an obvious guess - just trying to find more ways to out what a horrible person he is w/o actually saying it point blank.
Wasn't it Himmmm who also said "ask him about Villanova?" or something like that?
ReplyDeleteTotally think this and the "Stuffed in the Closet" blind are related.
What does Ff's stand for?
ReplyDeleteAlec Baldwin and Kim Basinger were the first to come to mind.
ReplyDeleteThey were married almost a decade. Can't be him.
Delete@crila, FFS= For F*ck's Sake
ReplyDelete@crila - "for fuck's sake". I'm too lazy to even type "Oh", so I always use OFFS. One of my friends just asked me what "offs" meant (as in plural of the word "off") and I had to explain lol
ReplyDeleteAnd now I have hurts si good stuck in my head. No bueno.
ReplyDeleteWarning CamColty, your baby looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteRoman: I want to bite those cheeks too. What is it about baby cheeks? Everyone says I'm a freak about this (umm, probably true), but I think baby faces and hands and feet look delicious.
Now that I've made everyone laugh.... back to the BI sleuthing. This topic is so heavy today. Blech.
Sophia
ReplyDeleteThey were married for quite some time and have a child together.
Now it's my turn to stick my head in the sand. BC is so freakin talented. I remember seeing him front row in so many episodes of "Inside the Actor's Studio", he seemed so driven to soak up everything he could that it made me have mad respect for him. He was there so often that it was the subject of his opening monologue for one of his SNL appearances a few years ago. James Lipton was there for a cameo too!
ReplyDeleteI was totally rooting for him when "Hangover" became a hit too bc I felt it was well deserved (even though Zach G. will always be my fuzzy cuddly mancrush!)
I think the whole Jeff Goldblum thing (if it was Jeff, and I have no idea) focused on consensual BDSM, which is clearly not the case here. Don't mix apples & oranges, folks. Some people get off on pain. The woman in the BI clearly did not.
ReplyDeleteBTW, when Brad and Jennifer split, they had been married for four months, and Kneepads reported that they had been separated "for quite a while." HTH can you be separated for "quite a while" 4 months into a marriage? Something major had to have happened.
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20037538,00.html
Enty had a blind about JE and BC way back in the day that alluded to the fact he beat her up. I read this with their names from the beginning. I'll see if I can find the old blind. I think this means yesterday's blind was him. It seems if Enty seems to tie a lot of his blinds together these days
ReplyDeleteWow, what's with all the Coop hate? Everyone I know who have met the dude say he's incredibly sweet and charming.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm....on the outside anyway!
There is a gay vibe....and he def. was quoted as saying to many people that he was driven to become a major major star, even though his career took such a long time to take off.
The jaw surgery he had helped (he had a weak jaw until it was corrected.)
This would be pretty terrible if this blind and yesterdays were connected, but though I find today's possible, yesterday's seems outlandish.
Loads of peeps found my father charming too. It was very different when you saw the real person, as my mum and myself can attest.
DeleteFSP, that was funny
ReplyDeleteI agree, this is another rage situation, like yesterday's blind. The two seem to be connected. And HImmm said outright it was BC. But... if it IS BC, what's the movie he did when he was new in Hollywood? Who is the older star who gave him advice to stay in the closet? And who is the other A list star also on the movie who faded from view because of gay rumors.
ReplyDeletenot sure of the time but he lost a role in Everythings fine to Sam rockwell, the movie came out in 2009 but he may have autditioned in early 2007
ReplyDeleteOT guys, but does anyone know what the Brown's/Brown List is? I saw it mentioned twice on Twitter yesterday, but I can't get an answer out of anyone. It has something to do with agents, I think.
ReplyDelete4 for Friday:
ReplyDeletea.) Bradley Cooper
b.) Jennifer Esposito
c.) Role he didn't get: Harvey Dent (went to Aaron Eckhart in Feb 2007). BC was married to JE December 2006; she filed for divorce April 2007. If this incident happened, the timeline fits as to when he got turned down for the role during his marriage.
d. Person JE introduced BC to for his first major break: ?
He was a newby when he was in ALIAS and supposedly was going at it with Victor Garber. That is where the gay vibe rumors started.
ReplyDelete@MAC -- is this the blind you were looking for:
ReplyDeleteAnother B list actor, this time a former television actor who only works in films now. He is B list by virtue of his work, but definitely does not have the name recognition of #1. You would recognize our actor, but would be hard pressed to come up with his name. His recent marriage ended in a quick divorce because of domestic abuse. Never hit his wife until after they were married. No signs at all until after the wedding. After he got done beating her for the third time she decided to leave. Now for fun he is trying to work his way through every woman he can find in LA.
My vote is Cooper.
And he could still be closeted or bi. The cheating could have been women and/or men.
Ugh (because of the abuse and the cheating -- not the sexual preferences).

ReplyDeleteThis smells Bradly cooper!
ReplyDelete@Coriander Shea - That's the thing about sociopaths. They can be EXCEPTIONALLY charming.
ReplyDeleteJennifer Esposito /Bradley Cooper
ReplyDeleteHell, after further consideration the lines...
ReplyDelete"He was always afraid of people knowing his secrets."
and
"She is pretty sure he would have tried to rape her..."
...when applied to the Villanova comment could be the reason he left. Maybe he raped someone. Maybe he was outed. Maybe both?
@Coriander--The Brown List is a list by some blogger (Temp X) where people nominate and vote on the most and least liked Hollywood execs and celebrities. I'm not sure how accurate it is because people can vote as many times as they want and it can totally be skewed. The 2012 list came out earlier this week:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.tempdiaries.com/2012/10/the-2012-brown-list.html
Yes that is the blind, thank you. I really need to learn how to search this site better, as I tried looking for an hour and couldn't find it!
ReplyDeleteShe left and that is the best part of this blind.
ReplyDeleteI know nothing about BC but I've been reading this site a long time and remember that old blind.
Totally off topic: Johnny Depp dated Ellen Barkin?!
Well that would make sense considering one of the ppl on Twitter mentioning it was TempX, heehee. I guess I didn't put two and two together.
ReplyDeleteThank you @JJ :)
This reminds me of a very simlar blind item of sorts that I read in a domestic violence education class. Not a class in which I learned domestic violence, but like how to represent victims. I remember the perp being Sean Connery. The woman was some actress whose name I didn't recognize. Let me do some research and see if I can find the story online.
ReplyDeleteFor all you DMC theorists:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1043053/Sean-Connery-The-story-brilliant-deeply-flawed-man.html
It's not a recent story and it takes a while to get to the allegations of abuse made by Diane Cilento, but the story is very similar to today's BI. In the domestic violence class that I want to, I believe there were more details of abuse, such as Connery controlling Cilento's money (she was initially more famous than him).
FWIW, I think this is Connery even though the specifics don't match.
Where is Robin to send out the @himmmm signal?
ReplyDeleteI want to know if this is B Poop.
I think this is Bradley. He's a jerk and this fits really well.
ReplyDeleteI think yesterday's blind was Tom Cruise because of the Fey Oiled Tush blind from way back when.
Whoa that is some violent shit! Good on her for leaving. I have no idea who it is so I'll just go with the consensus.
ReplyDeleteAnd OMG I cannot WAIT for reveal day!!!
ReplyDeleteHimmmm! where are you!
ReplyDeleteCan I also applaud the woman for leaving and (apparently) never looking back? Soooo much harder than it sounds! She must have been so brave. Bless her, and those who supported her through it all.
ReplyDeleteSorry, this screamed George Clooney to me, because of this phrase: CHARMING A-LISTER.
ReplyDeleteI think it's George and Talia.
Clooney and his wife were married for 4 years. that eliminates him
ReplyDeleteClooney and his wife were married for 4 years. that eliminates him
ReplyDeleteit says new husband...doesn't say they divorced shortly thereafter...am i missing something??
ReplyDeleteIt says she never went back and sent a friend to get her things. Also Clooney is A+
DeleteGood for her for leaving! She caught him cheating twice BEFORE she married him? Sheesh how long did they date?
ReplyDelete@Hendrix - you just solved a blind there, LOL! So Coop was the guy with the weak jaw who wanted to become famous and would sob to his SO that no one would hire him because of his weak jaw. I think this blind is about him, but I suck at blinds and usually piggyback on other's guesses.
ReplyDeleteScar Jo really ought to get with Coop. The girl loves dumpster diving (apart from RR, of course). Del Toro, Penn, and that latest guy who just dripped with sleaze. She is definitely attracted to Le Douche and IMO, Cooper is dripping with it.
I remember being in a movie theater in Napa, CA to see The Hangover and BC took my breath away when he appeared on screen. I'd not heard or knew about him before. He made that movie. Then IRL, he let's us all down. Sad unicorns tonight.
ReplyDeletedia: Sorry, but I'm away for the weekend--going to a dear friend's wedding in NH tomorrow, & borrowing my brother's laptop (which is sitting on a box on his bed while it holds it...), so I can't send out the Signal. Please give him my regards if he makes an appearancem though--i promise I'll be back to chat on Sunday evening!
ReplyDeleteOMG on Twitter, Jennifer Espisito just said she is getting screwed over on her TV show. I wonder is BC got her axed. CONSPIRACY!
ReplyDeletehttps://twitter.com/JennifersWayJE
Diane Lane and Josh Brolin
ReplyDeleteI have to go with Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Espisito. I have heard him say in interviews that he was not a nice person when he was drinking. I have also heard that the reason they split was because Bradley beat her.
ReplyDelete
