Today's Blind Items - I Never Got Caught
Listening to this B list almost always now movies and frequent nominee of some really high acting awards actress talk, leaves your mouth agape. I always liked that word agape. Seriously, she ticks off things one after the other and think to yourself all of those things must have happened over the period of her life and she says those particular incidents happened over the course of about six weeks. When our actress was far from being legal, she was out every night. She said that one of the first roles she got she hung out with one of the actors from the show who never amounted to much but is from a well known acting family. She says that he got her into clubs because he was at the height of his fame and they would get hammered every night. There was the time she and the actor did a threesome with the actor's brother and how the next day she spent all day throwing up in between scenes. It was the first time she had ever got drunk and also lost her virginity. Yes, in a threesome. On the same show she says the lead actor of the show who was about her same age thought he was the bomb and came into her trailer and grabbed his crotch and said, "I bet you would like some of this. I can make you a star." She laughed and walked away. She said he sounded like a little girl when he was yelling at her. A fairly hit movie that she was in she says she can't even remember filming and that she had to go see it in the theatre because people kept asking her questions about it and she had no clue what they were talking about. Turns out she spent the entire movie getting stoned with one of the actors and even though critics loved her performance she says she remembers filming a scene or two. The actor she smoked pot with all day and all night says that always happens to him but that it never affects his performance. It does in the bedroom though. She says he might be an A lust movie actor who is married, but that when he tried to make moves on her which she was receptive too, that he had no chance of getting it up. He tried three or four different times but that he could never get it up. Our actress says she has done every drug possible, partied for days on end, got into lots of trouble but that she has never been caught. She says the reason she thinks she gets away with everything is that she always shows up on time to work. She night be sick all day or hungover, but somehow she makes it there and gets through the day. As she has gotten slightly older and she is not even halfway through her 20's she says she finds herself more boring and doesn't know if she can stick with the boring because she thinks and critics agree that her performances have not been as good lately.
Actress in mid-20's and nominated for acting awards frequently. Sounds like TV and movies.
ReplyDeleteAll of my guesses are way over than mid 20's
ReplyDeleteSo she must have been on the show with the actor from a famous family more than 5 years ago, but probably (hopefully!) less than 10.
ReplyDeleteJessica Biel
ReplyDeletewith the Stults brothers as her threesome and Barry Watson as the one who cracked her up.
The biggest clue is the agapeand it's heteronym "agape" (uh gah pay), a common word in Christian writing. The clues about career trajectory are spot on, too...
jessica biel is 30 - too old
ReplyDeleteI was thinking Drew Barrymore, but too old and not known for tv.
ReplyDeleteDrew barrymore too old??!! Gertie??!! Cant be!!!
Delete"lead actor of the show who was about her same age"
ReplyDeleteTeenage-ish guy as a lead for a show. Who?
What has Biel ever been nominated for?
ReplyDeleteAmanda Seyfried?
ReplyDeleteAround as the World Turns whe was 14.
Feel like Hayden P could fit this one...
ReplyDeleteHow about Evan Rachel Wood? Emmy & Golden Globe nominations. She's been around for a while and she's only 25.
ReplyDeleteShe also has a mix of TV and movies, but everything on her books right now are movies.
ReplyDeletesounds like Jennifer Lawerence other than the tv show....the Bill Engvall Show doesn't seem to have any young family connected actor. But she has been nominated for a slew of awards
ReplyDelete@Amber: Love that guess! She was in Once and Again, that could be the show.
ReplyDeleteAnd she is a known stoner (well now, back then not xD)
the behavior sounds like demi lovato, but the clues don't fit.
ReplyDeleteleighton meester?
hayden?
taylor momsen?
it sounds like a very current blind (contrasting to yesterday's confusing blind which imho is from an old show)... off to research.
I like the ERW guess with ONce and again being the show and Billy Campbell the actor being the actor who along with his brother deflowered her.
ReplyDeleteI think Amber got it - Evan Rachel Rood.
ReplyDeleteI think American Gothic fits better for the TV show - the actor (and brother) from a famous family she lost her virginity to being Shaun Cassidy.
Trying to make annaLynne McCord work for this, but can't
ReplyDeletewhen I first started reading this, I thought immediately Julia Roberts because of her mouth and the way Enty used "agape" twice, but when I scrolled down I saw it was someone much younger, so that said, Evan is a good guess, but I will thrown Emma Roberts out there too, although I don't think she quite fits.
ReplyDeleteEvan Rachel Wood; Shaun Cassidy being the guy (like SKOR said).
ReplyDeleteLucas Black being the actor she turned down?
Movie she was high during: The Wrestler with Mickey Rourke--who has problems getting it up.
Didn't anyone else think it was funny that someone thought he was "the bomb"?
ReplyDeleteFunny if it is ERW..I did theatre with her dad and have pictures with her mom at a wedding.
ReplyDelete@Karen ..Mickey rourke isn't married i don't think?
ReplyDeleteI think this sounds like Kate Hudson...Enty may have fudged the age a little...Party of Five being the show, the London brothers being the threesome, Scott Wolf being the star of the show...maybe with Billy Crudup as the A lister she got stoned with on Almost Famous?
ReplyDelete@canadachick, crap, you're right :(
ReplyDeleteBlake Lively?
ReplyDeletenevermind..I thought she was nominated for something when she did The Town.
ReplyDeleteCould be Hayden P? Show being Malcom in the Middle, Chris MAsterson being the actor and the borther being Danny Masterson. Frankie Muniz being the star who was close to same age?? Movie could be Fireflies in the Garden with Ryan Reynolds as the married actor? Probably wrong
ReplyDeleteHaha that's what I thought! Love Malcolm in the middle
DeleteUgh sorry Masterson and brother not borther lol
ReplyDeleteThe problem with Hayden P is that she's only been nominated for Teen Choice awards and Young Artist awards. Our actress is "a frequent nominee of some really high acting awards."
ReplyDeleteScarlett J.
ReplyDeleteAm I the only one skeeved about about the threesome involving brothers? Who'd even want to be in the same room while their sibling was having sex, let alone be in a threesome with one?
ReplyDeleteKirstin Dunst!! She hasn't had great performances in awhile but she used to get great critics reviews and she's been nominated for golden globe and Oscar I think!!!
ReplyDeleteKirsten Dunst! Long time reader, first time poster.
ReplyDeleteAgree with Canadachick this sounds like Jennifer Lawrence.
ReplyDeleteKirsten Dunst too, all the way. She was known as a rabid partier/drinker but has supposedly been trying to clean up her act. Now she's dull, having always been a little on the dull side. She does fit the clues as far as I can see.
ReplyDeleteKristen just did Melancholia last year, which would've gotten her an Oscar nom if LVT hadn't put his foot in his mouth at Cannes. Plus she's in On The Road, and now filming a movie as the lead opposite Viggo M. She's doing very well right now.
ReplyDeleteThis is Evan.
Kirsten is not in her mid twenties tho'.
ReplyDeleteJust to throw this out there, what about Emma Stone? She is mid-twenties, has been nominated for major awards (Golden Globe for Easy A) and won some (SAG for Help). One of her first roles was on Malcolm in the Middle. So it could be the Masterson brothers for the threesome and Frankie Munoz (I can't spell his name) for the high pitched guy her same age she turned down. The picture that did fairly well could be Zombieland which gives you two married A-list stoners: Woody Harrelson and Bill Murray. And I don't think she got rave reviews for Spiderman.
ReplyDeleteI like this.
DeleteThis sounds right.
DeleteWas just about to post about Emma stone xD
DeleteKirsten Dunst is like 32 or something, isn't she?
ReplyDelete@auntliddy - Hey, Drew and I -- we're almost exactly the same age -- are pushing 40! We're OLD. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYeah, I can't figure out sibling threesomes, either. Totally skeeves me out.
And I have no guesses, although for some reason I thought of Ben and Fred Savage as the brothers. (Ben being the one "who never amounted to much but is from a well known acting family," because I can't think of anything he's done since "Boy Meets World.")
Another post with Enty insisting that smoking pot can make you black out...and forget you filmed an entire movie.
ReplyDeleteCome on.
long-time lurker, but first-time poster here. i'm gonna have to go with ERW for this one. she was the first one to pop into my head when reading this. i'm thinking once & again for the show.
ReplyDeletea little trivia...she is from my hometown and my cousin is on the BOD for her dad's theater!
My bad, Kiki's 30. Emma Stone would have been 18 when she was on Malcolm. I'm stumped. Can anyone disprove Evan Rachel Wood?
ReplyDeleteEmma Stone
ReplyDeleteDidn't enty hint that Emma stone was a hard partier but just hid it really well? would hate it to be her because i love her! i think the critics actually like her in spiderman though so dont see the decline in acting fitting her.
ReplyDeleteEmma Watson. Just kidding. Evan Rachel Wood is a good guess.
ReplyDeleteEmma Stone. Brothers - the Masterson brothers (she was on Malcolm in the Middle), Actor the same age, Frankie Munoz. Movie where she was praised/stoned - Zombieland w/ Woody Harrelson.
ReplyDeleteHare dare anyone accuse my childhood Tiger Beat poster boy, Shaun "Da Do Run Run" Cassidy of "never amounting to much."
ReplyDeleteYou all must have just been born late:
http://www.amazon.com/Born-Late-Shaun-Cassidy/dp/B007TKRYTY/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1352231029&sr=1-1&keywords=Shaun+Cassidy+born+late
OMG Topper! Thank you for defending Shaun, my first love (after Donny). And, he wrote a song about me! Ya, it was fun to imagine that when I was 9. ;)
ReplyDeleteWOW, we must be anout the same age? I went right from Donny O. to Shaun Cassidy, too. I LIVED for The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries.
Deleteok, I change my vote to Emma Stone too.
ReplyDeleteTV Show: Malcome in the Middle
first actor: Chris Masterson
Brother: Danny Masterson
Lead Actor: Frankie Muniz
Movie: Zombieland
Married Actor/pothead: Woody Harrelson
Emma Stone got all that action from ONE EPISODE of Malcolm? Damn - I need to be a hot young actress in Hollywood!
ReplyDeleteHoly cats, all of the Emma/Malcolm/Woody guesses DO totally fit! Except that as Ingrid pointed out, this all happened when she only did ONE episode of MItM?! Not impossible, but still crazy to consider. So, we may have a winner!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I remember somebody here saying recently that Emma did a bunch of coke with his/her cousin at a club or something, and I remember it blowing my mind, i.e., "She doesn't seem the type!" Fits in with the whole "tried everything and never got caught."
ReplyDeleteExcept Emma Stone has mostly only been nominated for MTV Movie & Teen/People's Choice awards...
ReplyDeleteWhile it's only one episode, the Emma Stone scenario makes the most sense. ERW has had her share of debauchery I'm sure, but she was never on a TV show where a similarly aged male was the star. Similarly aged males, yes, but not stars like Frankie Muniz was.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDelete@amber Emma Stone is a Golden Globe and BAFTA nominee.
ReplyDeleteNot sure how this guy fits into this blind, but maybe a clue?
ReplyDeleteERW dated Shane West, who played her brother on Once and Again.
Not sure about the married guy who tried to get it up. For hilarious reasons I am thinking Woody Allen (officially directed her in Whatever Works) but also known as an actor. Love the Rourke guess the most, but he isn't married xD
@SKOR: American Gothic was mid nineties. ERW was 8-10 back then. Don't think she did threeways back then xD
ReplyDeleteERW dated Shane West years after Once and Again, and he wasn't the star of the show. ERW is also 25, which is halfway through your 20's the last time I checked. The blind says this actress is not halfway through yet. Emma Stone is 24. She turned 24 today.
ReplyDeleteShaun Cassidy is 29 years older than ERW, I think that a much older pervy male might've been part of Enty's description if that was the case. No way him.
ReplyDeleteShaun Cassidy?! Are you people for real?!?!
ReplyDeleteEmma Stone is a great guess, though. From all the clues, she totally seems to fit!
@Rigby all those pieces fit but wasn't she only one MMITM one episode?
ReplyDeleteRe Evan Rachel Wood - Once and Again has no male actors from well known acting families.
@Countervail, yes but it also says that it all happened over a six week interval.
ReplyDeleteI stick by my Emma Stone answer even with one episode of Malcolm (Frankie is supposed to be a total a** in real life, and the mastersons were huge partiers back in the day).
ReplyDeleteBut, if people aren't totally sold, there is only a really small pool of mid-twenties actresses that have been nominated for major awards: Evan Rachel Wood (would have to be once and again), ScarJo (no TV except Robot Chicken), Shailene Woodley (still on TV, early twenties), Jennifer Lawrence (Bill Engvall Show? I don't think so), Keisha Castle Hughes (nothing fits, Keira Knightly (27, no real television other than Oliver Twist, Anna Kendrick (one episode of Viva Laughlin! Really?), Gabourey Sidibe (Precious was first role not TV). Natalie Portman is 31, Anna Paquin is 30, Kirsten Dunst is 30.
But what performance of Emma's isn't getting good reviews?
ReplyDeletewat you talkng about Emma stone?
ReplyDeleteI think we need to maybe focus on the "almost B list" part of this. a lot of the actresses (scar jo, emma stone, kiera knightly) etc are i would say, b or b+ list.
ReplyDeletei think we are looking for an actress who had maybe one or two big roles that received recognition, but not an actress that has had steady work with critical reception.
i like EWR, but not sure that we have it yet...i will continue to think!
Not sure how this might fit as a clue but isn't agape (ah GAH pay) the pronunciation of the Greek word for "love"? Any of the actresses of Greek extraction?
ReplyDeleteGoing to throw this out there: Ellen Page? I know she started on a Canadian TV show, but not sure who the two brothers would be. she had a ton of critical acclaim and was nominated for an Oscar with Juno, and had some bigger hits like X Men and the Drew Barrymore movie but hasn't done anything very big since..
ReplyDeleteBlind Title did remind me of this caption on an Emma Stone photo from earlier this year:
ReplyDelete"Now that Lindsay Lohan has gone red, Emma Stone goes back to blonde. She is the Lindsay who knows how not to get caught."

ReplyDelete@spacecowboy78 I think Emma Stone is most definitely A list though, no?
ReplyDelete(once again still stand by Emma Stone) BUT I also forgot Mila Kunis. She is currently 29, was nominated for a Golden Globe for Black Swan. Was 15 when she started on That 70's Show (Mastersons again!; Topher Grace for little girl screamer?).
ReplyDeleteWith Mila, the movie could be Extract and the A-lister Ben Affleck.
ReplyDelete@rigby i really like the Mila Guess. Mastersen brothers work, she was DEFINITELY underage at that point, and the cast was known (in another revealed blind) that it was out of control. the only issue i have with it, was, wasnt Mila the one who stayed true/out of it because of a boyfriend?
ReplyDeleteBen Affleck would work too.
I can totally relate to the pothead actor not remembering anything-- my memory is the absolute WORST, it's ridiculous. I always have to tell people "sorry, I'm a pothead, I don't remember"
ReplyDeleteWhoa, Ingrid, nice sleuthing. (How did you remember that?!) With that, Emma still seems like the best choice so far.
ReplyDeleteagape |äˈgäˌpā; ˈägə-|
ReplyDeletenoun (Christian Theology)
Christian love, esp. as distinct from erotic love or emotional affection.
...
ORIGIN early 17th cent.: from Greek agapē ‘selfless love.’
(According to my dictionary. Throwing it in there)
"an A lust movie actor"...LOL...nice Freudian slip Enty!
ReplyDeleteI don't know who this is, but I want to party with her!!!!
Nikki Reed could also be possible. She was on the OC, but not sure how old she was back then. Also don't know if any of the actors in that show come from an acting family -.-
ReplyDeleteIf it's Nikki Reed I am guessing good old Peter Facinelli (sp?) for the married guy xD So cliche haha
ReplyDeleteNevermind, Nikki was 18 during the OC, was her first tvrole so the clues don't fit 0,0
ReplyDeleteImdb says Shaun Cassidy was a producer on American gothic not an actor
ReplyDeleteMichelle Williams from Dawson's Creek with Oliver Hudson from the acting family? Ugh, does he have a brother?
ReplyDeleteMichelle Williams is 32.
ReplyDeleteThis is almost certainly Emma Stone. There's been a number of references to her being the Lindsay Lohan who knows how to not get caught, from Enty and even from the Honest Trailer thing enty posted from SPiderman.
ReplyDeleteShe's won a SAG award and has a golden globe nom, which are both big ones.
And if you look at her recent/upcoming movies, Crazy Stupid Love, Friends with Benefits and Gangster Squad, I think all of them were panned.
@Esme Emse
ReplyDelete""agape" (uh gah pay), a common word in Christian writing."
WTF? It's the Greek (as in present day) word for "love". That is the strangest characterization I have ever heard, lol.
@rigby The actress is supposed to be in her early 20s.
ReplyDeleteSo if I understand this right, we should be looking for:
* an actress born around 1990 (who is in her early 20s now)
* she mostly does movies now and is considered B-list though she's been nominated for some notable awards
* had a small gig on a tv show in the early to mid 2000s when she was in her mid to early teens
* the show had a lead guy about her same age with a high voice who was egotistical
* she lost her virginity to one of the other actors who was from a well known acting family; his age is not noted though during this time it was the height of his career
* it's not clear if this was a long or short time; Enty notes "six weeks" but this isn't referring to the length of time of the BI or the show
* got stoned regularly with and a-list, married actor while working on a fairly hit movie
Any of these names maybe work? There's got to be a twist here we're missing.
Mia Wasikowska
Ellen Page
Blake Lively
Evan Rachel Wood
Mila Kunis
Jennifer Lawrence
Chloë Grace Moretz
Emma Stone
Hayden Panettiere
Vanessa Hudgens
Alexa Vega
Nikki Reed
Emily Browning
Selena Gomez
Megan Fox
I still disagree with Emma Stone. The TV show would have to be Malcolm in the Middle. But she has about 1 minute screen time and Christopher Masterson is not even in the episode.
ReplyDeleteConsidering today is Emma Stone's birthday and the actress got "stoned" instead of "high", I think this is supposed to be her.
ReplyDeletei agree with letitbe except for the a lust movie actor to be matthew mccon and movie ghosts of girlfriends past
ReplyDeleteThere really aren't many actresses who could fit such a specific blind. I think the Emma Stone guess is the best fit. I just hope she gets it together, because I love her. You can only show up to work wasted or hungover for so long before it catches up to you. I'd hate for her to be another LL.
ReplyDeleteI usually snark Emma Stone guesses, because i freakin snark her, but you guys rocked it Sherlock style and I am convinced!
ReplyDeleteERW and Milla seemed like good guesses too, but Ingrid sealed it with that link-well done!
Did I miss it, or did no one connect agape to the Agape Church?
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure remember reading a few years back that Dennis Quaid & Meg Ryan went there.
Apparently also Christina Applegate and Hilary Swant also go (or did at one time).
Don't know if any of that's germane to the BI, tho.
Yes, "agape" IS a term that many Christians DO use with much frequency today to refer to brotherly love (in essence). And yes, it IS from the Greek, and a lot of early Christians were in Greece, hence the use of the word then and today.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure why this should be a "strange characterization." ???
Philia is brotherly love. Agape is love of god. Learned that in catholic school.
ReplyDeleteExcuse me. I went to Catholic school, too, but we never learned an actual definition that I'm aware of.
ReplyDeleteMy point was that it means love -- whatever kind doesn't really matter -- and it's used a lot by Christians.
