Blind Item #7 - Kindness
This guy is an actor. He is also a former A+ list celebrity/singer who is now a B- list mostly television actor who moonlights as an A- list singer/celebrity. Not alone though. Anyway he is really careful about making sure that everyone he meets and greets with has the best time of their life. On a recent cruise our celebrity/actor saw a group of women who were off to the side and didn't seem to be enjoying themselves. He went and got them and then introduced them to his other celebrity friends who treated the women to the night of their lives. Booze and partying and lots of photos. It turns out the women had saved years to come on the trip and they wouldn't stop crying the next day talking about how nice our celebrity and his friends were to them.

ReplyDeleteAwwwwwwwww!!!
ReplyDeleteDonnie Wahlberg/ NKOTB
ReplyDeleteWhat's NKOTB?
DeleteBy the way, apparently the NKOTB Cruise is a thing. Who knew?
Delete@VIP even Keith Sweat is running a cruise now. Lots of money to be made apparently.
DeleteI'm ferklempt!
ReplyDeleteDammit VIP!
ReplyDeleteDonnie is the coolest.
Iced-T? Harry Connick Jr?
ReplyDeleteI actually have tears in my eyes. That is just so kind. Now I'm going to go find someone to be kind to, that's how much that sweet story motivated me.
ReplyDeleteDavid Hasselhoff
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought LL Cool J but he's not part of a group...
ReplyDeleteThen I thought "Jonas brother" but did anyone outside of tweens every consider them to be A-list?
harry conick jr.
ReplyDeleteNew Kids On The Block @Pugsters
ReplyDeleteAnd he was who I thought of immediately too VIP
Oh yeah! Duh! Thanks! :)
DeleteAgree with VIP- and this is super cool of him! Love that for these women, this is something they will NEVER forget.
ReplyDeleteSorry but grown women saving for years for a NKOTB cruise sounds tragically sad. I know I'm gonna get blasted but at some point even I realized Donnie Osmond wasn't singing "Go Away Little Girl " to me.
ReplyDeleteWhen? What? Where on the Keith Sweat Cruise?!
ReplyDelete@bunny It's called the Sweat Hotel cruise and it even has a Bon Voyage pajama party.
DeleteJon Bon jovi
ReplyDeleteI think this is sweet.
ReplyDeleteA Facebook friend of mine from HS goes every year on the NKOTB cruise. I think there's a big market for these celebrity/band cruises. What, you wouldn't want to be trapped on a boat in the Caribbean with your favorite has-been pop star??
ReplyDeleteMoonlight - reference to moonlight and Valentino
ReplyDeleteHe has been on plenty of tv
Known for being a nice guy
Part of Bon jovi- forever a list
Again, Jon Bon jovi
The ratings were a perfect match to Donnie Wahlberg so I guessed him right away. That so rarely happens to me! I loved the NKOTB summer hit, 'Remix', and Blue Bloods is one of my guilty pleasures, so I'm glad to hear to DW is a nice guy.
ReplyDeleteI can see this being Jon Bon Jovi, but I have to say I think he is still considered A+ no? and I dont' really think he can be considered B actor.
ReplyDeleteI like the Donnie guess.
I'd do any of the cruises just to meet the girls :)
ReplyDeleteThe New Kids cruise was in May. Darn, we missed it!
ReplyDelete@Sherry: LOL
Me too, @Iceberg
ReplyDeleteI have no shame in admitting this: I'd go on an NKOTB Cruise in a heartbeat. Being a late 80's/early 90's kid from Boston, NKOTB will always be (as crazy Uncle Joe Biden says) a big fuckin' deal. I went to see them in concert in July and Donnie full-on made out with a chick while singing "Cover Girl". It was faaaaantastic. I love him so much.
ReplyDeleteWhen I read this was a cruise my first thought was NKOTB meant No Kids On The Boat. An adult cruise.
ReplyDeleteHope it's Donnie.
I went to see NKOTB in concert this year for a cousin's birthday and I honestly had a blast. They were totally energetic, sang well, did a really good variety of their hits, and even did a nice tribute to those affected by Hurricane Sandy (we were in NJ). They also knew that this was a big night out for a lot of moms and women in their late 20's/30's and really played into that, taking their shirts off and Donnie even kissed a woman in the audience. It really seems like they appreciate, at this age, the people that still support them, and from that I guessed Donnie immediately.
ReplyDeletethats really cool
ReplyDeleteThe Bangles/Go-Go's cruise is the one I'm saving up for.
ReplyDeleteLazyday: they were my mum's favourite bands, before my time but thanks to mum, I grew up listening to them, and the Runaways, Blondie, B-52's.
DeleteDonnie Wahlberg was an A+ list celeb/singer? Really? Since when?
ReplyDeleteThis company runs a lot of the music cruises: http://www.sixthman.net/
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who goes on the Cayamo cruise every year, which features several artists. I think that would be a better time than just one artist or group.
Ex: the 2014 Cayamo cruise features John Prine, Brandi Carlile, Ricky Skaggs & Bruce Hornsby, John Hiatt, Buddy Miller, Shawn Mullins, Joshua Radin, The Secret Sisters, lots more.
Scallywag: I don't know any of these. Are the cruises American? I don't think we have anything like that here
DeleteDavid Cassidy
ReplyDeleteI knew they did these themed ones for soap operas but I hadn't heard about the ones for music.
ReplyDeleteAw, his mama raised him right, whoever he is. I hope this is revealed.
