This former A+ list celebrity with very famous girlfriends and wives and now a solid B- lister hates leaving the country because of the inevitable heroin withdrawal. Likes one day trips. Two tops.
Maybe it's my inner 90s kid but I felt like he was such a big deal in the late mid to late 90s. I still remember his VMA spectacles. He was nominated for Grammy's back then, and I just checked out Wikipedia and he is nominated for one this year. (WTF?)
@Laura I could do with more BIs. Breaks up the monotony of my workday. I'm with MaeMae. He credited his collapse to the flu but he apparently vomitted as well, which leads me to believe he was probably going through some serious withdrawals!
Probably not Marilyn, since he does world tours. Hope he's better by the 19th, as I have tix to see him. I'll likely be the only 50-year old female at the Warfield!
I hate to say my first thought was Hugh Grant, with Elizabeth Hurley, Jemima Khan among famous girlfriends, but... he's never actually been married, as far as I know.
I thought of Dave Navarro, but don't think he was ever A+ list, except he's played with a lot of great bands and has dated/married some fairly famous women. I'll go with Tommy Lee as well.
@Laura - I agree, too. I'd rather one or two juicy blind items than 6 about tweens, reality stars, etc. I started skipping over most of them, too. I have enough distractions in my workday!
Tommy Lee travels regularly. He just maintains a low profile because he has custody of the boys. I think 12-18 months ago he was on tour with deadmau5.
I like the Marc Anthony guess. His other wives are famous, just not in the US. Not hard to believe at all after that movie they did about Hector Lavoe.
Marilyn Manson was an A for a while there I'd say. Great name recognition, anyway. I remember reading his autobiography in my angsty high school days and thinking he was just THE COOLEST, and in it he ranted about not being able to stand drug addicts, how he fired some member of his band because he became one, etc etc etc. How the mighty have fallen, eh?
15 years ago I would say RDJ.
ReplyDeleteNow a days no idea.
Charlie Sheen?
ReplyDeletetommy lee
ReplyDeleteI would guess Marc Anthony except JLo is his only "very famous" girlfriend/wife.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking a musician. I'd throw out a super-random guess of Eddie Van Halen, but I always thought he was primarily a boozer.
ReplyDeleteOoh, Tommy Lee's a great guess.
ReplyDeleteI second Charlie Sheen. "Girlfriends" = Goddesses
ReplyDeleteI thought Charlie was more of a coke/crack guy.
ReplyDeleteTommy Lee I can get behind. Married to Heather Locklear and Pamela Anderson. Didn't he also date Carmen Electra?
Odd guess again..Marilyn Manson? Famous girlfriends, although Dita was his only wife. The DM has pics of him collapsing in Canada during a concert.
ReplyDeleteMaeMae, I'd say you're the winner so far - good guess!
DeleteBilly Bob?
ReplyDeleteWas Marilyn ever A+?
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's my inner 90s kid but I felt like he was such a big deal in the late mid to late 90s. I still remember his VMA spectacles. He was nominated for Grammy's back then, and I just checked out Wikipedia and he is nominated for one this year. (WTF?)
ReplyDeleteI agree with you here - Marilyn Manson was very big when I was in college in the late 90's.
DeleteDennis Rodman. He's pimpin' a children's book he just wrote.
ReplyDeleteArtie Lang.
ReplyDeleteFamous girlfriends: Coke, Percodan, Prosciutto
Famous Marriage: Heroin
lol count jekula. i miss artie on hs.. even if he did sleep through the show
ReplyDeleteI guess it depends on your decage, I was an 80s kid so Tommy Lee was A+ back then.
ReplyDeleteMarilyn Manson I would not know a song of his if he was singing it in standing in front of my desk.
@Kendra - that visual made me laugh!
DeleteA bit OT here but there are so many Blind Items anymore that I skip over most of them. Too many to care about. I've kind of lost interest.
ReplyDeleteMarilyn Manson is on the gossip rags whining about flu ruining his concert in Canada, so I like that guess.
ReplyDelete@Laura I could do with more BIs. Breaks up the monotony of my workday. I'm with MaeMae. He credited his collapse to the flu but he apparently vomitted as well, which leads me to believe he was probably going through some serious withdrawals!
ReplyDeleteThat's Artie Lange, Count. At least get the spelling right!
ReplyDeleteBrad Pitt
ReplyDelete@Laura, I agree. I'm still doing my best to read them all, but I do care about all of them less. It now seems like a chore to keep up!
ReplyDeleteProbably not Marilyn, since he does world tours. Hope he's better by the 19th, as I have tix to see him. I'll likely be the only 50-year old female at the Warfield!
ReplyDeleteMarilyn Manson A+ list? NFW. Nowadays he makes Kathy Griffin look A+ list.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I know for sure that it isnt a musician, believe me,they always will have connections world wide for drugs.
ReplyDeleteI hate to say my first thought was Hugh Grant, with Elizabeth Hurley, Jemima Khan among famous girlfriends, but... he's never actually been married, as far as I know.
ReplyDeleteBilly Bob was my first thought.
ReplyDeleteI thought of Dave Navarro, but don't think he was ever A+ list, except he's played with a lot of great bands and has dated/married some fairly famous women. I'll go with Tommy Lee as well.
ReplyDeleteI vote for Tommy Lee as well. Didn't he date Heather Locklear at some point?
ReplyDeleteTommy Lee and Heather were married.
ReplyDelete@Laura - I agree, too. I'd rather one or two juicy blind items than 6 about tweens, reality stars, etc. I started skipping over most of them, too. I have enough distractions in my workday!
ReplyDeleteTommy Lee travels regularly. He just maintains a low profile because he has custody of the boys. I think 12-18 months ago he was on tour with deadmau5.
ReplyDeleteI think Billy Bob Thornton is a great guess!
ReplyDeleteI like the Marc Anthony guess. His other wives are famous, just not in the US. Not hard to believe at all after that movie they did about Hector Lavoe.
ReplyDeleteJude Law? Didn't he & Sienna get their heroin fixes together? Or would there be a foreign-born clue? Famous wife being Sadie Frost
ReplyDeleteRichie Sambora?
ReplyDeleteNo f'n way tommy lee was ever A+. Sheen is an actor.
ReplyDeleteJust pointing out that the gender of the person with the famous girlfriends and wives is not specified. Probably a male, but not necessarily.
ReplyDelete@KendraWM
ReplyDeleteDid you just make up the word "decage" or was that a typo? Either way it's a fantastic word and I hope to use it sometime.
not sure where he falls on the ratings scale this week, but...Sean Penn?
