Blind Item #3
This B+ list mostly television actress who was on a very hot show before striking out on her own has no idea that her big crush is married. He thinks he will get fired if he tells her since she is also his boss. His wife knows about the crush and loves her new husband having a job so pretends to be the dutiful friend whenever the actress is around. The actress is nuts over this guy.
Sounds like Mindy Kaling and one of the guys on her show.
ReplyDeleteOh, good guess @Karen. How could she, or anyone, not know the guy is married though?
ReplyDeleteIs Connie Britton single?
ReplyDeletewhat's her name on private practice...
ReplyDelete@Reno, the blind makes it sound like the marriage is recent: "new husband." It does sound far-fetched--but if the guy isn't famous yet and he and his wife didn't tell anybody, it could remain a secret for a while.
ReplyDeleteI hope that it isn't Mindy. I adore her and want to be best friends. If it IS her, though, I'd probably go with the guy who plays her boyfriend, Anderson Holm. He has no IMDB bio.
Anders is one of the stars of workaholics. He guest stars on a lately. Not him.
Delete*Anders Holm. Oops.
ReplyDeleteUm... Didn't Private Practice end?
ReplyDeleteMaybe kaling and messina
ReplyDeleteI don't believe this one for a micro second. mindy kaling is an extremely intelligent woman.
ReplyDeleteshe could either ask someone whether the dude is married, or check his personnel file.
seriously people. don't throw mindy, or any other woman intelligent enough to be the boss in hollywood, a very sexist city, under the bus.
@annabella, it sounds like the guy and his wife are deliberately hiding the fact that they're married from her so that he can stay on the show. I don't think that this reflects poorly on Mindy--IF it's her--it shows what jerks the other two are for taking advantage of a crush that she has.
ReplyDeleteAlso, if the marriage is truly recent, it wouldn't be in his personnel file. I missed the deadline to update benefits after I got married this year, so my file will still say that I'm single until I re-enroll next year.
Anders Holm is married to his college girlfriend. It's in his Wikipedia entry. They married 2 years ago so I don't think that counts as "new."
ReplyDelete@Yara, good catch. It doesn't seem like it would be anyone else from the show. Maybe Ed Weeks, the British guy? Chris Messina is in a relationship and has two kids with his girlfriend.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I can't think of anyone else.
Courtney Cox
ReplyDeleteIf the actress would truly fire the guy because he is married, then I would like this to be revealed, because the actress is a filthy pig.
ReplyDeleteIf it's Mindy, it could be a writer for her show. The blind doesn't say that the crush is an actor.
ReplyDeleteI hope it's not her because I love her, too!
This BI only makes sense if the actress is completely clueless and cut off or isolated from all the people around her.
ReplyDeleteAnders Holm is on two shows right now (Workaholics too) and he doesn't have an IMDB?
ReplyDeleteM.Joan Hart with Melissa and Joey.
ReplyDeleteOh wait, Joey Lawrence isn't secretly married, it is known :P
ReplyDeleteNahh I liked my guess!
didn't mindy's show get picked up for a second season though? is that striking out on her own?
ReplyDeleteThink kokopuff has it with Courtney Cox...she exec produces Cougar Town, she's mostly TV now and Friends was her "hot" show.

ReplyDeleteMindy was on the Office and left before the 9th season to do her own show. She was my first guess for this one.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like the guy is a crew member or writer. Mindy definitely seems like someone who would have a "crush".
ReplyDeleteAren't Mindy Kaling and BJ Novak together?
ReplyDeleteSo the wife also works on the show? Any writer/actor pairs? Mindy sounds about right, given the word crush and the career description. However, I thought her and BJ were picking up again. Here's an interesting March interview with Ed Weeks where he dodges discussing dating? http://www.sheknows.com/entertainment/articles/987861/ed-weeks-interview-the-mindy-project
ReplyDeleteDutiful friend (of the actress) or a dutiful platonic friend of the guy? I'm thinking the guy is an actor and the wife is a writer, someone involved with production, etc.
ReplyDeleteAmy Poehler
ReplyDeleteLana Delany? Hit she used to be on was Desperate Housewives and she produces and stars in her own show now.
ReplyDeleteI also think the guy isn't an actor since those are usually pretty easy to track down via Wiki or IMDB. Crew member sounds about right for this.
