Today's Blind Items - The Forgotten One
About once a year I hear a great story about the sibling of a celebrity who gets lost in the shuffle of being forgotten and then acts out hoping to be caught. Most of the time the celebrity is not famous enough so it doesn't make sense to write about the sibling. This is different though and it is also is interesting because the sibling really does hide things well. That probably is because she went through a lot of trauma when she was younger and was molested by a very very close relative who because of circumstances never was able to get their hands on the celebrity sibling.
Our sibling is female and her sibling is an A lister. No ifs ands or buts. Everyone knows the sibling. Yes, even your grandma in the retirement home.
Our forgotten sibling has tried to make her own mark but never quite gets there without relying on her sibling. No one will call her back until she name drops. She has got a lot of work and made some money but only because of her sibling. Our forgotten sibling though wants everyone to think she made it on her own and says she is really successful. Nope. She wants everyone to think she is sober and religious and goes to church every week. Nope and nope and nope. Most of the time she is so hungover and wasted out of her mind on coke and that hillbilly heroin she snorts like coke that I wonder when the last time she woke up before a noon on a Sunday.
She lives in a great place and has nice cars and wants you to think she earned it all herself. Nope. Oh she has earned money but because of her sibling. Her sibling is also the person who pays for the place to live and every other bill that goes straight to the business manager of the celebrity sibling. The only thing our non famous sibling pays for is a cell phone bill.

ReplyDeleteLiza Minelli and Lorna Luft.
ReplyDeletes
ReplyDeleteMichelle and Deedee pfieffer?
ReplyDeleteSoccer mom: for some reason, that's who I thought of.
DeleteThey were my first thought as well.
DeleteThe Simpson girls, But I think that's too easy.
ReplyDeleteThis could be any number of sisters from Babs and Roslyn, Lorna and Liza, Asslee and Jess, Bey and Solange, Janet and Latoya, sorry but not enough clues for a definitive answer here.
ReplyDeleteSounds like Lilo and Ali.
ReplyDeleteBasement Baby!!! (Solange)
ReplyDelete+1
DeleteMy guess too
Delete+3
DeleteOne more vote for Solange.
DeleteThere is no way this is the Simpson girls because the are barely famous, reality tv famous is not that famous, my Mom doesn't know Jessica, let alone my Grandma. Enty says the star is SO FAMOUS YOUR GRAMS IN THE OLD FOLKS HOME KNOWS THEM. I think Betsy got it right!
ReplyDeleteHow about Julia Roberts sister? I think she was in the DM awhile back bitching about her.
ReplyDeleteJLo and her sister
ReplyDeleteIt's Britney, bitch.
ReplyDeleteI like Seachica's guess.
DeleteDamn Seachica, beat me to it. I was thinking Britney also.
ReplyDeleteWould Liza have enough money to support a sibling?
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't say the sibling is a female.. it is very obviously gender neutral. It could be a brother/sister.
ReplyDeleteLisa Simpson and Maggie Simpson?
ReplyDeleteTom Cruise's sister that helped to almost destroy his career.
ReplyDeleteKinda confused about the description of the celebrity. She's both "a celebrity who gets lost in the shuffle of being forgotten and then acts out hoping to be caught" and "the celebrity is not famous enough", and yet she "is an A lister. No ifs ands or buts. Everyone knows the sibling. Yes, even your grandma in the retirement home."
ReplyDelete@Bored soccer mom- NOooooo!!! I loved DeeDee in "The Allnighter".
ReplyDeleteIt's either Beyonce's sister or Lindsay Lohan's sister because not everyone know's who someone like Liza Minelli is... especially this new Miley Cyrus generation. (ugh)
ReplyDeleteBasement Baby.
ReplyDeleteLindsay Lohan doesn't even have enough money to pay her own bills. I don't think it could be her.
ReplyDeletei want to say jason bateman for the a list and justine for the sibling....just to be different
ReplyDeleteThat was actually my thought too...
DeleteDeedee Pfeiffer FTW.
ReplyDeleteJessica Simpson is on the cover of every tabloid magazine almost every week---so unless your grandma hasn't been to a grocery store in 10 years then ya she knows who is Jessica Simpson is and if your mom doesn't than she must be a recluse
ReplyDeleteLaToya and Janet?
ReplyDeleteI think Beyonce would be called A+. Very very close - parent? Live-in grandparent? If it's a parent it's not Ashlee. I think Beyonce would have had her father killed if he hurt Solange.
ReplyDeleteYeah that's what I thought as well. You beat me to it @bored soccer mom.
ReplyDeleteI remember her sister from a few memorable but small roles like Falling down and The horror show.
Solonge, maybe?
ReplyDeleteBritney and jamie lynn
ReplyDeletehas to be the jackson family...
ReplyDeleteI asked my gran. She knows none of these peeps.
ReplyDeleteI'm also thinking this could be a guy celebrity. The wording of the blind gets you thinking it is a female, but if you read it closely, the gender of the celebrity is never mentioned.
ReplyDeleteThat being said...I will also say Tom Cruise. Specifically because of the mention about going to church every week.
George Clinton Jr.
ReplyDeleteI thought Solange or Ashlee
ReplyDeleteThe Cruzs
ReplyDeleteThe Cruzs
ReplyDelete@MM:
ReplyDeleteKinda confused about the description of the celebrity. She's both "a celebrity who gets lost in the shuffle of being forgotten and then acts out hoping to be caught" and "the celebrity is not famous enough",
This is the forgotten sibling (female).
and yet she "is an A lister. No ifs ands or buts. Everyone knows the sibling. Yes, even your grandma in the retirement home."
This is the famous A-list celebrity sibling (gender not specified).
I meant to add: it sounds like the forgotten sibling is also famous to a degree, primarily because of the A-list celebrity sibling.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a guess to venture.
It cannot be the Cruzs, no one of them is openly religious (penélope is a far leftist and many of Mónica's fans are too, so she can't be), neither can be Jamie Lynn Spears, she doesn't "live in a great place with nice cars", apparently she lives in the country surrounded by tractors (exaggeration on humourous goals).
ReplyDeleteAshley or solange fit better.
I thought that if Grandma in the retirement home knows who the celebrity is and that celebrity has a non-famous female sibling it could be Julia Roberts. Sister, Lisa Roberts Gillan. According to Wiki sh has had several roles in films and also was on an episode of Friends, courtesy of Julia.

ReplyDeletebritneys sister looks healthier than the description would allow plus she is living in louisiana or something raising her kid. i don't think its her. solange is a pretty successful performer who is also raising a kid. not that that means they don't party but you don't hear about them "acting out" as the blind says. maybe its just the obvious choice but ashlee fits the most
ReplyDeleteashlee obviously has some problems cause she never has her kid
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking Asslee for this.
ReplyDeleteAshlee Simpson. She only got a half-hearted "singing career" because of Jessica. Only got her crappy little reality show because of Jessica. Tried to have her own career, but is now designing crappy clothes (and modeling them) from Jessica's line.
ReplyDeleteIn the first sentence it says usually the sibling gets lost in the shuffle and acts out, but this one is different.
ReplyDelete"She wants everyone to think she is sober and religious and goes to church every week." That should be the best clue. Plus she has had a lot of work.
Ashley has never seemed like she wants to be seen as sober and religious. I always thought she tried to stay away from that image as her way of rebelling.
Ashlee
ReplyDeleteThink this fits her because of the religious aspect; daddy Simpson is a minister, Jess was a virgin until marriage etc. That was the big career thing for Jess:religion/gospel songs and virginity. So this really points to the Simpsons.
Or the Spears family, but it doesn't fit. Having a baby as a teen (the sis) doesn't make a clean image.
Same with Solange, who also was a teen mom, a lot of people don't know this.
Enty also mentioned multiple times that Ashlee has issues with drugs, jealousy and fameho-dom. So yes, Ashlee
Jessica Simpson is not THAT famous. No way. So no not Ashlee.
ReplyDeleteJessica is famous more for being pregnant than anything else.
ReplyDelete"...story about the sibling of a celebrity ... Most of the time the celebrity is not famous enough..."
ReplyDeleteI think Enty means a different celebrity and sibling for each story.
My vote is for Asslee Simpson as well. Not only because it all fits, but because the blinds are always about the same people.
Jaime Lee and Kelly Curtis
ReplyDeleteSounds like entitled Asslee! Not the religious part but the snorting "hillbilly" heroin Which I STILL don't know what it is. Meth? Oxy's ground up?
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought the Cruz sisters too but isn't she pregnant?
Ashlee Simpson or Solange Knowles
ReplyDeleteI feel like if it was Solange or Ashlee, the blind would have mentioned a child. And as noted, the gender of the A list sibling is never identified so this doesn't have to be any of the obvious suspects.
ReplyDeleteSolange
ReplyDeleteA list sibling everyone - even grandma - knows:
ReplyDeleteWynonna Judd
Forgotten sibling who has made her mark and made some money: Ashley Judd.
Yeah, she had a bit of a career several years ago, but nobody remembers her anymore. Hell, nobody even thought of her for this BI.
Fits the religious and hillbilly heroin references, too.
I like the Julia Roberts guess. I was going to say one of Vadge's siblings, but she is not that generous with them.
ReplyDeleteMarie Osmond, your grams knows her
ReplyDeleteI was thinking Liza and Lorna. Your grandmother would know them.
ReplyDeleteHello, it's Miley, and her half sister...
ReplyDeleteTis doesn't make a whole lot of sense. If we are trying to figure out who the celebrity is by all these clues about their "non-famous" sibling, isn't that a bit impossible? How n the world can anyone deduct who this nonfamous sibling is by clues to their sobriety, church attendance and cars if that person is not famous? Asslee, sad to say, is famous, as are all the Jacksons, as is Jamie Lynn. Maybe they aren't a listers or even B or C listers, but they are famous. And who are we kidding- dee dee pfeiffer made some of the best Lifetime movies I ever watched under the influence. What about a third Gabor sister or an extra Collins vixen? Does Hilary Clinton have a sister? Oprah? Betty Crocker or Aunt Jemima?!?
ReplyDeleteI was thinking Donnie and Marie too.
ReplyDeleteI am a grandmother, and I've heard of all of the listed guesses as standing in checkout lines are an educational experience. Based on the clues, I'd go the Jessica and Ashley Simpson guess..
ReplyDeletei wanted it to be Tom Cruise's sister, but thought Randi Zuckerberg fit better.
ReplyDeleteBesides grandmas know Asslee from the 7th Heaven re-runs!!!
ReplyDeleteI thought of Toni Braxton and her sister Tamar.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's Solange...she lives in Brooklyn in a pretty normal neighborhood. I'm doubting she has "nice cars" because there really isn't anywhere to park a fleet of fancy cars. Maybe she has one in a garage. Also, I think she works, just on a more indie level than Beyonce.
ReplyDeleteHow about one of Madonna's siblings?
ReplyDeleteI highly doubt it...she doesn't even help out her homeless brother so I don't think she would pay to maintain a nice lifestyle for Chris, who is the only one that works in the business occasionally.
DeleteToo vague...though my guess is that the celeb is a male.
ReplyDeleteI think it's Solange Knowles. Plus, can't you just see papa knowles playing touchy-touchy with his own kids? I can!
ReplyDeleteJohn Travolta and his sister Ellen?
ReplyDeleteGee I wonder who wrote this blind? Yeah, the sibling.
ReplyDeleteGee I wonder who wrote this blind? Yeah, the sibling.

ReplyDeleteJoaquin and Rain Pheonix
ReplyDeleteWarren Beatty and Shirley McClaine. Only because I think the A lister sibling is a man (due to Enty emphasizing that the sibling is a female) and because Warren seems like someone who would always be referred to as A list and grandmas know (age). I know she has had her fair share of issues and had a drinking problem so maybe she dabbles in drugs now. I'm conflicted on this blind but thought I would throw something different out there. Unfortunately, we might never know because of the molestation. Poor thing!!
ReplyDeleteoh yeah I am on the Wynona / Ashley judd bandwagon. she wrote that book a few yrs ago about being molested by a close family friend, and she is always whitewashing her crap w/ jesus saves me..blah blah. she also lives on wy's farm and off wy's money. everyone's mama knows the judd family tree
ReplyDeleteI don't see Solange as being all drugged out - Asslee all the way for this one. In addition to all her fashion and fragrance lines, in the last couple of years Jessica has been on TV in Macy's ads and Weight Watchers ad - I think your grandma might know her. "Fancy" doesn't sound like a perfume your granny would buy you for Christmas? Who else buys that crap?
