Today's Blind Items - She Has Tried

This B list actress on a hit show is the star of the show despite the number of people on it. She has made it her mission over the past few years to build up her name recognition and brand. She has slept with men and flirted with men and women and been to a million meetings. She has hired photographers to follow her around. She has tried the famous boyfriend route to the point where she was repulsed whenever he would touch her even though he is gay. Her current boyfriend has done her no favors and even though she likes him a lot, she feels like she needs to dump him and maybe try a more famous boyfriend or some kind of scandal. No matter what she does though she cannot get roles or clothing lines or perfume lines and she finds it maddening. Everyone gets them who is a star and she screams and rails and chain smokes and pops Adderall by the handful to stay skinny. She says that she has played the game and wants her reward, but it is not coming. She knows her show is crap even though it is a hit, and she knows it will end someday and she does not want to be like every other actress on the show she knows will be out of work and waiting tables as soon as their money runs out. She has told them that to their faces. No one doubts she has the drive to succeed, but no matter how hard she tries, nothing ever works out for her.

    1. Ugh no I'm all wrong. She did the ad for Candies clothing line.

  3. I'm thinking Annalynn McCord, too, but I don't know who she has dated.

  4. annaylynn mccord dated kellen lutz.

  5. i second Annalynne McCord, and she dated Kellan Lutz for awhile and was always throwing their relationship in front of the paps

    ReplyDelete
  6. oh and them dating was at the height of Twilight fever so i guess he would count as famous

  7. I'd like to say Lea Michele but she didn't have a famous boyfriend until Cory Monteith. The previous boyfriend wasn't that famous other than in Broadway circles.

  9. I believe Annalynne is dating the guy from Prison Break who played Lincoln Burrows, for the current boyfriend who isn't doing her any favors.

  10. Jennifer Love Hewitt.

    Just kidding, I don't have a clue.

  11. I liked Annalynne on Nip/Tip, she's Nicollete Sheridan 2.0 IMO.

    ReplyDelete
  12. On what planet is that 90210 remake a hit show? No no no.

    Annalynne McCord is not the start of Nip/Tuck.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Was thinking Emily VanCamp.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Or how about Ginnifer Goodwin? She dated Chris Klein (gay?) and now her costar from Once Upon A Time.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I thought of Lea Michele too, but I don't think the boyfriend thing fits. I wish it was her, though, she seems like such a biiiiitch.

    ReplyDelete
  16. EVC is interesting, because weren't she and B Getty the popular guess for the blind sometime in the last 2 weeks about the actress hooking up with the actor who couldn't afford to have anyone find out about them, so they had to stop, but she's in love with him?

    ReplyDelete
  17. I'm looking at a list of top television shows.

    Zooey
    Someone from Modern Family
    Anna Paquin
    Snooki
    Lea Michele

    I don't know enough about the other shows to know who the lead actresses are and I REFUSE to consider Kaley Cuoco.

  18. I have no clue, but what a soulless twat!

    ReplyDelete
  19. it's lea michelle. the clues fit especially the bit about how "every other actress will be out of work" makes me think the cast is genre specific (ie. GLEE)

    ReplyDelete
  20. If it is Lea Michele, who I agree is a very convincing candidate here...GOD. Does she have even a single pleasant quality?!

    ReplyDelete
  21. Kat Dennings / Two Broke Girls?

    ReplyDelete
  22. Lea is the new face of L'Oreal... doubt it's her.

    ReplyDelete
  23. The chick from 90210. She thought she'd be huge because the first one made household names out of every single cast member. Her boyfriend was the Prison Break guy.
    Sad for her. She's pretty, and an OK actress. Maybe with a good role, she'd have been better.

    ReplyDelete
  24. not ginnifer goodwin, she does movies.

    lea was in new years eve, and her co-star dianna agron was in a few films.

    zooey has had film roles and endorsed siri.

    the clue i think is interesting is that she is "the star of the show despite the number of people on it" --- what show has a big cast?

    or is it one of the "two broke girls"?

    ReplyDelete
  25. If it's Lea Michelle, who was the famous boyfriend who repulsed her even though he was gay? The current bf is Corey Monteith. They're still together, aren't they? I just saw an interview with her talking about him.

    @T. E. Cruz--This doesn't say TV only, just that she is on a hit show and the star. So this could be an actress on a show who also does movies.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Chris Klien in gay?since when.

    ReplyDelete
  27. @Mango - Kaley Cuoco occurred to me too but she's got some stuff going on. I just saw her last week in some TV movie about the Drew Peterson case. I like her, I think she's got a future in case anything happens to BBT.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I was thinking Ellen Pompeo - Greys Anyone?

    ReplyDelete
  29. I don't know who this is, but I'm pretty sure it's not Lea Michele -- it doesn't say that the REAL reason none of these things have come to her is b/c she is such a horrible person to work with. Besides, I think she will always have Broadway opportunities.

    ReplyDelete
  30. All I kept seeing was Annalyn McCord as I read the BV. She's desperate and is super duper skinny.

    Maybe someone should tell her, the reason she's not making it big is because she's not that good of an actress, and even though she's cute...she's not beautiful and doesn't have that IT quality.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Whoever "accidentally" flashes their giblets to the world is probably our answer.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I don't know that Lea Michele would risk her voice by chain smoking. That part, and the fact that she has endorsements, makes her not fit for me.

    ReplyDelete
  33. @jolene, you are correct. i was following the clue that said she could not get roles, as well as that nothing works out for her.

    seems like if this individual could even score a small role in a cheesy/cheap film, she would be getting at least some traction. hence why i feel like she does not have any film roles.

    ReplyDelete
  34. As much as id hate this, what about Jennifer Morrison? She's definitely the star, she's had some boyfriends who are known (Jesse Spencer, Sebastian Stan)

    "maddening" possible nod to the Mad Hatter? Aka Sebastian's character on het show.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I don't think it's Kaley Cuoco - wasn't she the one liked for the blind about recently being pregnant and losing the baby? :( She's not super-skinny at all, her star boyfriend would be Johnny Galecki, who is definitely not gay.

    Emily Van Camp scares me!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Am I an asshole for finding this situation oddly gratifying? I similarly enjoy Madonna's frustration at being unable to be taken seriously as a filmmaker even though she really really really wants to be.
    Maybe I'm just jealous.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I could see this being AnnaLynn McCord, and I don't know her through anything other than gossip sites. My impression of her has always been that she's "normal girl" pretty with overinflated expectations, so that matches the blind, and that's not marketable so I can see why she wouldn't be landing promotion gigs or many roles. It's the same wall Ashley Greene keeps running into.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Jolene, I was thinking Ginnifer Goodwin on this too - the pieces fit - she is on a hit show even though it is crap, she has tried having a famous boyfriend, and no matter how many movies or shows she does she never quite makes it to A List...

    ReplyDelete
  39. Overexposure is not Annalynn McCord's best strategy. It reeks of desperation.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Emily VanCamp and Kaley Cuoco are TWINS! You can only like one of them, the other is evil.

    People need to stop making every blind about Lea Michele or AnnaLynne McCrackie.

    I vote Ginnifer Goodwin. I've heard her name forever, seen her in a couple of things, but know nothing of her. Also, with her dating history that I just googled, she fits.

    ReplyDelete
  41. "I don't think it's Kaley Cuoco - wasn't she the one liked for the blind about recently being pregnant and losing the baby? :( She's not super-skinny at all, her star boyfriend would be Johnny Galecki, who is definitely not gay."

    I thought Enty did a reveal about an actress who got drunk at a party and stunned everyone when she outed her ex-BF, and it was Kaley?

    (FWIW, Galecki is on my List and he pings my gaydar not one iota, so I dunno.)

  42. AnnaLynn McCord doesn't smoke (according to an interview I read and I can't find one picture of her doing so except SmokeStiks - which aren't anything like cigarettes)

    Lea M would never be stupid enough to smoke a single cigarette, let alone chain-smoke.

    Ginnifer Goodwin smokes but I love her (have ever since Mona Lisa Smile) and don't wanna believe this is her.

    Jennifer Morrison Maybe but she's not that skinny and she doesn't seem to give a toss about her appearance, she's more of a tomboy. This sounds like someone who wants to trade on their beauty.

    What about Nina Dobrev? Hit show, smoker, famous bf although I don't know who she dated before.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Rachel Bilson. Gay boyfriend: Hayden Christensen. Hit show: Hart of Dixie. How she branded herself: she came out with a line of dishware this past year.

    ReplyDelete
  44. It is absolutely not Lea Michele. Not only is she the new face of Loreal, she also has tons and tons of Candies adverts out. She also does not smoke. Her voice is her money maker and she knows that.

    Not sure how everyone flips their shit over the Tv/movie thing but totally disregards other parts of the blind. Like the part where it says this lady can't get any endorsement deals.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Rachel Bilson endorses Shoe Mint, Sunglass Hut, and that ice cream.

    Zooey endorses Pantene, Rimmel, and hello Apple. Not to mention all those cotton commercials.

    Ginnifer has a really goofy looking Noxema endorsement.

    ReplyDelete
  46. This is absolutely not Kaley Cuoco. She has been working regularly since she was a kid, and goes out of her way to stay out of trouble. She has no interest in being Lindsay 2.0, so she surrounds herself with her family, close friends and her beloved dogs. She just want to go to work and live a normal life. How do I know? We have a mutual friend in San Diego, and we bonded over our love for CdaN. Yup, she reads this site :)

    ReplyDelete
  47. My first thought was Annalynn McCord with Kellan Lutz as the gay boyfriend, but her show isn't a hit, is it?

    ReplyDelete
  48. Definitely not Ginnifer Goodwin. She was on Big Love for 5 years, hug hit.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Olivia Munn? Tries to make the world believe she is a nerdy hot chick, wrote books about it etc. She speaks Japanese and talks about her partly Asian heritage all the time. She tries to be nerdy anime lovers wet dream, visiting Comicon etc etc.
    Chris Pine for the gay ex, the one she send those nasty pics to ( do not look them up). Current bf is Joel Kinnaman,Swedish actor, not that famous/succesful right now.
    She screwed directors to get parts; which was leaked to the media. She is playing a big fame game.

    I know she is on Newsroom right now, but I have noooo clue if the show is succesful/has actors that will have to wait tables after it ends (aka; are they terrible actors who will never find a job again?). Also no idea if she is the star of the show...

  50. Sofia Vergara. Seems to describe her personality, and my guess is a lot of her relationships have been under the radar b/c she just wasn't famous at the time. The kicker, her endorsements: not only is she doing Pepsi commercials, kind of beneath her, she's also designing a clothing line... for K-Mart soccer moms. Not exactly hip, expensive brands there; can see why she'd want more.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I have no idea and haven't read all the comments, but "Sofia Vergara" kept running through my head the whole time reading this one.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Beth Behrs. 2 Broke girls is crap, and a hit, and she does have some actual real comedic chops, but the writing on that show is terrible.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I think the blonde one from glee, Dianna argon? Dated that Alex pettifer psycho. probably thinks she's hot shit.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Not Ginnifer Goodwin. Chris Klein is not gay - at least he wasn't considered to be by his friend whom I met a few years back (when he was engaged to Katie Holmes).

    ReplyDelete
  55. 90210 has been one of the biggest hits on the CW, although it is fading now.

    ReplyDelete
  56. I hope it's not her but Kerry Washington? Scandal in the blind might be hint?

    ReplyDelete
  57. Not Sofia Vergara. She does Cover Girl ads -- landing a major cosmetics deal is the holy grail, especially for someone who started as a model a decade or two ago.

    Then again, perfume deals are slightly above a "just cosmetics" deal... on those ads you see the A-list: Brad Pitt, Natalie Portman, Keira Knightley, Penelope Cruz. So maybe Vergara could work. This blind read to me more like someone that doesn't stand out as much, but I could be way off.

    ReplyDelete
  58. It can't be Kaley Cuoco, Zooey Deschnal, Kat Dennings, or Beth Behrs(sp?). The blind says, "star of the show despite the number of people on it" that would insinuate that the show was not meant to feature any single individual at it's conception. "The New Girl" and "2 Broke Girls" make Kat, Beth, and Zooey the star of the show by definition of the shows' premise and it's very title. Similarly, Kaley was always a key role in "TBBT" and, while she is definitely a more central role than others on the show, the star of that show would be Jim Parsons.

    I'm thinking it's Lea. "Glee" begin as completely ensemble cast with no one any more of a feature then others but that has changed. Also, once the actor's character graduated they were supposed to be gone from the show since the show focused on this high school glee club. That has changed and Lea is still featured even through her character moved to NYC. Don't know about the other clues but the clues about the show, itself, seem to fit.

    ReplyDelete
  59. I'd like to throw "2 Broke Girls" out there too, but a wilder guess: Jennifer Coolidge. While supporting, she is a "star" name of the show despite the number (2) of people on it, def. B-List.

    I don't know anything about her dating life but she has been around for at least some 15 years. Who says the endorsements have to be big? Maybe like Sofia, she'd like to design something for K-Mart.
