Blind Item #1
This almost A list mostly television actor who is having a career rebirth after a brief, but smoking hot career in movies and then nothing for a long time had a celebration last week because he made the last payment owed to the teen girl he had sex with when she was three years short of being legal. He was almost three times her age when it happened.
Kevin Bacon?
ReplyDeleteNvm his success in movies was not brief
ReplyDeleteDennis Quaid?
ReplyDeleteRob Lowe?
ReplyDeleteDQ is a bit briefer, I guess.
ReplyDeleteNever mind, the man in question would have been around 45

ReplyDeleteMan where the fuck was all this when I was a teenager.
ReplyDeleteI wanna mess around with Kevin bacon
@dragon, LMAO I agree Kevin Bacon is still smokin hot!
DeleteLife ain't fair,Lotta. Life aint fair.
DeleteI thought it was good, Sarah. I was thinking of his past love of 13-year olds.
ReplyDelete@Libby- um whaaat?!
DeleteSteve Buscemi? The "Near 3x her age" thing works out. He's 55. She'd be about 18
ReplyDeleteThe man in question would have been c. 45 when it HAPPENED. He would be older than that now (last payment).
ReplyDeleteI can't see this as Lowe though. He's been working consistently on TV for the last several years.
Oh, wait. That doesn't add up.
ReplyDeleteCHEVY CHASE! He's a slimedog , and the "smoking hot career in movies" thing kinda works out.
Yea, but what "smokin hot" movie was David Caruso ever in???? Jade?!?!?! Baaahaha....I'm going w/ Chris O'Donnell, remember Scent of a Woman & Circle of Friends?
ReplyDeleteMy teenage self would've jumped at the chance to hook up with Chris O'Donnell. He was one of my favorites!
DeleteWord! He was soooo adorable. But now I think he might b too young for this....kinda glad :)
DeleteI don't know if Enty meant it this way, but his wording implies that the girl is still a teenager now. Probably not, though.
ReplyDeleteRob Lowe. He got into trouble in Atlanta years ago.
ReplyDeleteMickey Rourke. He's 60 now, if the girl was 15 he'd have been 45 at the time, not much work in that time so took a long time to pay.
ReplyDeleteI know it might not fit quite right but dammit he's skeevy.
I thought the "smoking hot" might also refer to St. Elmo's Fire...
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday everybody!
Lotta--As Kelly mentioned, Rob Lowe's original career death was when he made a sex tape with a 13-year old. Like videotape days.
ReplyDeletethe NE exposed him on that, I think.
I totally remember that! It was a grainy video and it was a big deal at the time...
DeleteLibby- daanng I had no idea!
DeleteShe was 16, still underage and not legal but 13 would be disgusting.
DeleteJeff Daniels (I hope I'm wrong because I love him!)

ReplyDeleteNot Rob, he's been working quite steadily since the incident in Atlanta.
ReplyDeleteOff to see who's in the DM!
@Kelly - Per Wiki, that was 25 years ago when he was abt 24 years old. He was with two women, one 22 and one 16. He said he didn't know the 16yo was under age (which I can believe, esp if she was hanging out with a 22yo).
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't sound like a pedo to me.
Maybe Libby knows about other cases?
Jamie2: yeah this is how I remember it AND as I was living in NC at the time we all began to ask what the legal age was. I think he was being honest that he didn't know and I also believe that the 16 yr old was legal in GA. Please do correct me if I am wrong.
DeleteGood! I didn't want to be correct. He's great on Parks and Rec
ReplyDeleteLove him too. One of the most beautiful men ever when he was young too. Still is hot for his age.
DeleteHow about James Woods or Jeff Goldblum? Don't they always like the young teen girls?
ReplyDeleteI like Jeff G for this because of his reputation. He is 60. And Jurassic Park was just rereleased in threatres in 3D. I could have sworn I saw an article talking about this in the DM but can't find it.
DeleteHold on. James is easily old enough too. Saw this very strange role for him on IMDB: iCarly 2009 1 episode as security guard 2. How odd. I might change my answer.
DeleteForget both. Way too old. I didn't read the blind closely. However the iCarly role is super bizarre to me.
DeleteIt was reported forever ago as a 13-year old. If she was actually 16, I apologize for misinforming with my old news.
ReplyDeleteTom Selleck? Now on Blue Bloods.
ReplyDeleteI love tom selleck, but quigley, down under and the 3 men and series do not a "smoking hot" movie career make.
ReplyDelete@Libby, yeah. It was a 16 year-old that he picked up at a political convention. Which is just lots of awesome in one place. But I believe he was unaware she was underage.
ReplyDeletePlus Rob Lowe met her in a bar with her 22 year old friend, I would not expect to meet a 16 year old in a bar and really who asks for a Birth Certificate before hooking up???
ReplyDeleteIt was during the Democratic Convention, HUGE scandal at the time.
Selleck is revealed as being closeted. Rob Lowe is my guess. Him and his wife had big sex scandal a few years back, wife swapping, orgies, hitting on the help, etc.
ReplyDeleteWhoa. Selleck in the closet? My poor mother, all those years of lusting after the man. How does that sit with the NRA crowd he runs with?
ReplyDelete@Lucas, your poor mother! First Roy Rogers and now Tom Selleck?!
DeleteShe wasn't 13. No need to exaggerate to make him more "bad".
ReplyDeleteThis blind is driving me crazy. What was the money for? Was it hush money? To support a child? Legal punishment? And doesn't the legal age of consent vary state to state?
ReplyDeleteI don't know if Dennis quaid fits but he was in Great Balls of Fire so that could be all the smoking hot references. I didn't realize he had a rebirth of a carrer but I spen I'll my non mom time on CDANERS instead of TV :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, Kevin Bacon, yes please
Whaaaaaa? Tom Selleck is in the closet? My almost 90 yr old Grandma was hot for him in the Magnum PI days. As a kid, I didnt see it-he had that mustache ewwww! lol
ReplyDeleteWhat iCarly episode? The famous guest stars have been Michelle Obama, Jack Black & Emma Stone. Who are you talking about?
ReplyDeleteIIMBD: 1 episode 2009 role as "security guard #2". Not even the #1 guard. Sounds like only one step up from an extra, that's all.
DeleteTom Selleck is still on my laminated top 5, gay or not. Our kids went to preschool together and he was nothing but nice and gracious and his wife is hilarious! I hope this isn't him.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking Chris O'Donnell maybe?
ReplyDeleteTom Selleck is 100% gay. My friend was his driver for 7 years.
Kiefer Sutherland,
ReplyDeleteJeff Daniels,
Alec Baldwin,
William H. Macy,
Don Cheadle,
Charlie Sheen,
Chris O'Donnell,
Kevin Bacon,
Rob Lowe,
Tim Allen
Kevin Spacey
I was here in Indianapolis, serving a table of bigwig-types years ago, one from LA (entertainment executive, VERY rich). He started whispering stories, but was very careful that I couldn't hear any. Except just once, I surprised him by accident...it was the moment he was revealing to his dinner companions that Selleck is GAY.
ReplyDeleteI've told that story here before. Obviously it's thirdhand hearsay, but IT FITS.....
Hi, I'm a long time reader but first time commenter. I just wanted to say Hi - I'm here in Indy, too!
DeleteIndy, too!
DeleteBtw, I totally had to walk away and pretend I heard nothing. Hilarious.
ReplyDeleteRob Lowe. I remember the scandal, after that he was persona non grata for a long time.
ReplyDeleteSelleck is gay?! My world just tipped on its axis.
ReplyDeleteANYWAYS. "Smoking hot" makes me think of someone who was considered a heart throb. David Cassidy?
or maybe Leif Garrett?
ReplyDeleteI was in GA when the Rob Lowe story broke, and yes, it really did a number on his career, even though he didn't know the girl was that young. I don't remember if he was the one filming the threesome or not, but the story I heard was that the girl got hold of the tape and was running around Atlanta showing it to all her friends on the club scene (supposedly every gay hairdresser in metro Atlanta had seen it by the time the story broke; I heard about that from my gay hairdresser in Athens). And yes, he met her at a nightclub where they were carding everyone at the door, including him, so he assumed she was old enough to be there legally...not knowing that her buddies had gotten her in. I always felt bad for him regarding this whole mess; the impression was that he truly had no idea she was so young, and never would have picked her up if he'd realized that.
ReplyDeleteI'm another one whose mom had the major hots for Tom Selleck. If she were alive she wouldn't believe me if I told her he was gay. (She also thought OJ was innocent.)
ReplyDeletepatrick dempsey...he was huge in movies in the 80's then not much of anything till grey's.
ReplyDeleteThis must be an older guy. If you figure she was 15 when it happened, and he was almost 3 X her age at the time, then he was 40-45 when it happened. It sounds like he's been making payments for quite a while, based on the way the item is written. So this is a late-middle age to older pig.
ReplyDeleteThat said, Dennis Quaid is the best guess so far!!
ReplyDeleteYes, Tom Sellack is gay. My cousin worked very closely with him during the 84 Olympics (in LA) and spoke of it as common knowledge back then. He is out with his close circle, or at least was the whole time she knew him (through the 90's)
ReplyDeleteThis is really disgusting.
ReplyDeleteSt. Elmos 'Fire'/Smoking Hot = Rob Lowe

ReplyDeleteAnthony Michael Hall. Remember Farmer Ted's smoking hot dance in 16 Candles? :-p
ReplyDeleteThe guy in question seemed to have a long career in tv and then ventured in to films where he had a short, yet successful career. Most of the actors that have been mentioned have all had film careers before venturing into television work. The only actor who fits this blind is Tom Selleck. His biggest film was Three Men and a Baby and if I'm not mistaken, he played a smoking hot actor in that film.
ReplyDeleteI read this about Tom Selleck last night and went to bed hoping it would be a nightmare that would have disappeared in the morning. It has not. My fantasy world has been dealt a massive blow here. Magnum is gay, my longest crush, his legs, his shorts, his cap ... all down the drain. This is a sad weekend for my libido.

ReplyDeleteRob Lowe is the obvious guess but, just for fun, it could be...
ReplyDeleteJim Caviezel.
Brief, but smoking hot career in movies: The Thin Red Line, Passion of the Christ, Frequency
Almost A list television actor: Person of Interest
Career "rebirth": appropriate around Easter for a devout Christian who played Jesus.
Jim Carrey was s-s-s-smokin' there for a while, now not much besides the movie he's in now ...
