Blind Item #2
This former almost A list movie and television actress who made her fame in television and now is probably a B-/C+ with a crazy accent was at an event this weekend for kids. All about kids. And she was crazy drunk. Hammered. In the middle of the day. After she got sick the second time she decided to leave.
Sofia Vergara? Only because of the "crazy accent" hint. Not sure though.
ReplyDeleteFran Drescher?
ReplyDeleteCharo! Jk. No idea.
ReplyDeleteGood guess, Veech. Never watched the show but the commercials on the ABC app "I'm prehhhhgnunt!" are hilarious!
ReplyDeleteEva Longoria is in the DM, but I can't remember if she did an accent on DH.
My first guess was Fran Dresher. Sophia Vergara doesn't do movies does she?
ReplyDeleteWhat movies has Sofia Vergara been in? And she's still on the rise and on a popular show, whereas the bling makes her sound like her "making her fame" is past-tense. Not her.
ReplyDeleteFran Drescher is a good guess. The accent doesn't have to mean foreign-born.
*blind, not bling. Sorry!
ReplyDeleteFran drescher very health conscious since her cancer, doubt its her.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds a lot more like Fran Drescher vs. Sofia Vergara. I hope this isn't to mean she has a drinking problem, especially after her recovery from Uterine Cancer.
ReplyDeleteSofia Vergara was in Three Stooges
ReplyDeleteSofia Vergara has done quite a few Tyler Perry movies... She was hilarious is Medea Goes to Jail.
ReplyDeleteSofia Vergara was at DirecTV's Super Bowl concert last night in New Orleans.
ReplyDeleteJust to be different- Lorraine Bracco?
ReplyDeleteSofia doesn't fit FORMER A list just yet, I believe she's still up there. She's everywhere nowadays. If you're a has-been, endorsements just don't come as easily.
ReplyDeleteMy first guess was Salma Hayek but I'm not sure she's done enough TV to fit the description.
Not sure if she was ever A list, but how about Paz whatsername? She gets drunk in public alot.
ReplyDeleteSofia also did the movie Four Brothers.
ReplyDeleteh'bout Jamie Pressly?
ReplyDeleteJaime Pressly
ReplyDeleteThank u I was trying to think of persons with maybe a strong southern accent. Thought Brett Butler but Jamie Pressly fits.
ReplyDeleteJamie Pressly. She's had one or more DUI's, famous for TV, had that redneck* accent. It's too bad, I really loved her on "My Name is Earl."
ReplyDelete*Which is not the same as a Southern accent. :)
I immediately thought Rosie Perez. She has a "funny accent" and she's done voice work for children's shows (Go Diego Go). But I don't think she was almost A list.
ReplyDeleteThe second time? Jeez.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea who this is but I'll keep racking my brain.
@chopchop I could see Rosie Perez being described as almost A-list at some point because she was nominated for an Oscar a number of years ago.
Jaime is a very good guess. :(

ReplyDeleteSofia was in The Smurfs :D
ReplyDeleteOT here.
ReplyDeleteWhat do "former" actors do for work? You don't generally hear about them working in a Starbucks, but they have to have income somehow.
Coincidentally Jamie Pressley was officially charged with drunk driving on 2/2/2011.

ReplyDelete"What do "former" actors do for work?"
ReplyDeleteDepends on how hard up they are for cash. If you were at all famous at one point you can make pretty good money doing the nostalgia-con circuit. Teach. Dawn Wells toured around giving acting clinics for years. If you can sing--or even if you can't--you can do the roadshow theater thing.
Carol Kane.
ReplyDeleteHow about Lark Voorhies. She talks all kind of crazy in recent interviews and with an accent that would be considered crazy. She also got her start in tv. But to say she's B even C makes me second guess myself.
ReplyDeleteIt is NOT Sofia Vergara.
ReplyDeleteSalma Hayek got her start in Spanish TV doing novelas and has an accent.
ReplyDeleteJennifer Tilley? No reason to guess her, except we've begun listing actresses with unusual voices/accents.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing for it being Pressly: She's the only one that's really had a "crazy" accents. Various South American or Hispanic accents are different to an American ear, but not paticularly deliberately crazy.
ReplyDeleteI love her Joy character, though, she's kinda my patron saint. When I encounter something that is absolute horseshit, I'll break out a Joy inspired "Awww, HELL NO!" or the like, even though I have nothing remotely like a Southern accent.
Jane Leeves?
ReplyDeleteCan't be Fran. Her NY accent isn't that crazy in real life.
ReplyDeleteCharo? HAHAHAHAHA
I was gonna say Megan Mullally, but her accent was faked on Will and Grace. I was SHOCKED to hear her speak with her normal voice haha!
ReplyDeleteI hope not Jaimmi; I loved her on My Name is Earl.
Totally Jaime Pressley. :(
ReplyDeleteJust to be different, how about Rosie Perez?
ReplyDeleteNiw that is one f*cking annoying voice, ugh.
DeleteThere is no way Jamie has ever even approached a list anything, I don't think fake redneck accent for a role counts
ReplyDeleteI dont think we've guessed it yet
I heart Spike!
ReplyDeleteSofia Vergara's accent isn't really crazy. Fran Drescher's is crazy!
ReplyDeletebarbara walters. weird accent. boom, done.
ReplyDeleteBut Jaime Pressley doesn't have an accent in real life! The one on My Name Is Earl was affected.
