Oh my word. Comprehensive.
ReplyDeleteBetty White!
ReplyDeletewhere are the rest of the A's
ReplyDeleteWhat? NO Alyssa Milano??? Blasphemy! A++++
ReplyDeleteThis is an awesome cheat sheet!! :-)
ReplyDeleteHow did Benedict Cumberbatch 'destroy his first big chance' ?
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing Enty means that BC's first lead role was in a movie that bombed, The Fifth Estate. And it didn't simply bomb, it was the year's biggest bomb. Although BC's performance was widely praised. Very bad luck for the wonderfully talented Mr. Cumberbatch.
DeleteDo we really discuss 50 cent here?
ReplyDelete"AnnaLynne McCord- B- list mostly television actress who owes her fame to a now defunct almost network show and needs to get another big thing to avoid the C list fate of her cast mates."
ReplyDeleteSay it ain't so!
...and where's Amber Tamblyn?
Delete@FSP- I think I can see your head spinning.
DeleteThat obvious Lotta?
Delete@FSP B-?!
DeleteI was curious about Ariana Grande, since we see her nonstop everyday.
ReplyDeleteOK, this is a lot of work...and I LOVE IT! I'm copy/pasting it into a word doc at the office - added benefit of appearing productive.
ReplyDelete@ (R) ed , I think Enty is blaming Cumberbatch for the failure of the Julian Assange movie. Personally, I don't like Cumberbatch and I don't like Assange, so in my world they can share blame. Maybe the inevitable Edward Snowden movie will do better. All the trendy people love Eddie.
ReplyDeleteOh lordy. o_0
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks Enty, that is a hell of a lot of work!
ReplyDeleteGood morning all! Ok, I'm saving all of these in a spreadsheet!!!
ReplyDeleteI must say that I agree with most of the ratings posted here.
ReplyDeleteIt also helped me realize that Amy Adams and Jessica Chastain are two different people, which had never really occurred to me before.
Lol I thought it was just me. @ Nutty
DeleteBut I always get her mixed up with isla. I thought they were the same person a long while ago.
@ nutty and Eros, I kept wondering why she kept looking either bad ( chastain) or gorgeous ( Isla) or good ( Amy). My thought?
Delete"Damn, redheads really can't party without it showing" it never occurred to me that they were different women.. :-D
Aaron Eckhart is A?
ReplyDeleteOh thanks @Nutty_Flavor
ReplyDeleteAlexander Skarsgard mostly TV? Not really. He's made quite a few movies in the past couple of years.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you dissed AnnaLynne.
ReplyDeleteShameful.
@7 She got a B though! :/
DeleteWhat happened with Aaron Eckhart?
ReplyDeleteI agree with the Amy Adams description. Shes beautiful but needs to change her look up because I get her mixed up with isla Fischer alot. Maybe she should go blonde.
ReplyDelete50 cent might be B+ if those other B's were Cs and some of those A's were B's. Betty White definitely A on general principle
ReplyDeleteRory Gilmore is a BI subject?! Shocked I tell ya
ReplyDelete@VIP--haha! Team Sammy the Sweetheart!
Oh my lord you guys! Are we really going to refer back to this for every Blind? Is he going to name and rate every celebrity/movie star/singer/entertainer?
ReplyDeleteWon't we all guess Benedict Cumberbatch for the blind if Enty describes him exactly like this? "Foreign born B list mostly television actor who everyone thinks is gorgeous. The movie career of this actor is kind of on hold after destroying his first big chance."
Ohhhh, my medication...
So I assume that when writing the blind enty will only give the rating and not the accompanying descriptive statements??? They are pretty specific and would make the blinds a lot easier.
ReplyDeleteOr what Sugar just said.
DeleteUmmm. This is ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteno Angelina Jolie ??
ReplyDeleteoh please
ReplyDeleteAmy Adams is def not getting lost in any shuffle
Enty do you actually watch movies?????
@Eros, I agree. Isla Fisher does look like Amy Adams and Jessica Chastain. Throw Bryce Dallas Howard in there too.
ReplyDeleteNobody A+++++ in this list? Enty loves his A++++ blind items. Maybe we'll have to wait until we get to the 'L's for Liza Minelli.

ReplyDeleteim lost, what is this a blind item of each actor in the alphabet?
ReplyDeleteBetty White is A list due to Mary Tyler Moore show......
ReplyDeletejust sayin'
@ rajahcat, and Golden Girls, you may not have cared for the show as much, but Betty went from a wise cracking, on the make " the Happy hypocrite" to playing a naive Norwegian with a penchant for non sequitur, WITHOUT MISSING A BEAT!
DeleteShe is A+ in my book. Enty got it Wrong.
just because Enty can't tell the dif between actresses with red hair....does't mean that they are interchangeable......I guess by that standard all of the blonde starlets and there are many are all interchangeable too.
ReplyDeletestupid
i never post comments... but, alyson hannigan? angelina jolie? (even though we all know she's a++++++++)
ReplyDeleteBetty White will always be A+ list to tv viewers, how dare u call her B!!!
ReplyDeleteoh and Golden Girls....
ReplyDeleteWhere's our Mascot, Ben Affleck?
ReplyDeleteIf someone really wanted to do some sleuthing they could use these lists to solve some old blinds. Enty is probably pulling language they have used in past blinds on this list. Some are so specific that they would match very closely to what enty has used in blinds the past year.
ReplyDeleteAlpha by first name? Kee rist.
ReplyDeleteAshton has no talent for television either.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice of Enty to do this. We've been bitching about it long enough.
ReplyDeleteAmy Adams is not an Academy award winner
ReplyDeleteThese motly make sense but Aaron is no more A than I am.
ReplyDeleteB- at best.
Betty White is deffo A.
Maria..He lumps the winner/NOMINEE together. It's the NOM that he's referring to.
ReplyDeleteWhere is Angelina jolie?
ReplyDeleteI just noticed Amanda Seyfried isn't on here.
ReplyDeleteHow is Adam Lambert still as high as a B? even with his little role on Glee and upcoming Queen gig. I'd still rank him no Higher than C
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA Adam Levine A Lister..LOL..LEAST likable guy.. how about..revised list in 6-8 months..Levine will be C lister once the Voice gets canceled.
ReplyDeleteLOL Matt, UPCOMING QUEEN GIG is not a small accomplishments. Small role in Glee is a big deal as well..how many people can get these two gigs? How many people have so many side by side projects on hand as well ad recording new album? What u have to show for? Not a small achievement.
ReplyDeleteCumby is rumoured to be playing Mallory in Everest movie, and in the Lost City of Z with Rob Pattinson (produced by Brad Pitt). Hardly on hold
ReplyDeleteLMAO what a load of crap!!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't mean he qualifies to that high. And as far as the Queen thing, I'd say B- list as part of a group. His solo music career has been over for a while now. Glee is floundering in the ratings and his role isn't that big.
ReplyDeleteNo Aaron Eckhart is not A list. No, he just isn't. Fine actor, but no.
ReplyDeleteAs a long time reader, the list seems a tad suspect..but then again we're on to our forth or fifth Enty..my favorite Enty is a draw between the original A++++ and the B- bacon sucking, drunken loser who lived in his parent's basement
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry but I don't know who Aaron Eckhart is...I goog'ed him and he looks vaguely familiar. Cute, tho. Maybe its the producer angle that got him his high ranking?
ReplyDeleteCan I just say how awesome this list is? I don't know if we had a lovefest over it on another thread, but this looks like a hella lot of work and I dig it the most. It's a decoder ring!

ReplyDeleteAnd Kristin, how on EARTH did you remember that?? I even deleted it! Noo noo nooo nooo
DeleteKristin, if I start actually guessing I just know I would only disappoint myself. Currently I just throw stuff out there so that it looks somewhat legit. VIP and you got that shite locked up
ReplyDeleteWigs, I'm waiting!!!
ReplyDeleteWha-huh? Deleted! Sorry I revealed your x-men abilities to the group!
