Four For Friday - She Stalked Her

It is Friday and thankfully I am inside in the air conditioning. Yesterday I had to go outside at one point and it was like an oven. I noticed yesterday that we like to complain in LA about weather. If it is not 75 and sunny then we aren't happy. When it is hot we like to complain about how hot it is even though in the rest of the country 99-100 in the summer is nothing. When it rains three days a year we complain about that to the point where you think Noah is going to knock on your door. The thing is, this is the only city I know of with the exception of maybe San Diego that no one actually watches the weather. What Steve Martin did in LA Story could happen and no one would notice. The only time we do watch is when it is really hot and when it is raining. I hope everyone has a great weekend and I will be here blogging away. If you would like to follow me on Twitter, I am @entylawyer

Most of the time you hear about men stalking women or women stalking men, but there is one fantastic story of a celebrity female stalking another celebrity female. It went on for years. It started innocently enough. A former A+ list mostly movie actress who is an Academy Award winner/nominee and probably is still A list just because of her name. She ran into this celebrity who is really well known, A+ list in her own world of the entertainment business. The celebrity immediately developed a crush on the actress and took her out to dinner and began sending expensive gifts to her. The actress was flattered but was not all that interested. The celebrity wouldn't stop though. At one point, the celebrity started flying to LA once or twice a month and would show up on the doorstep of our actress. Probably not the best idea when it comes to this particular actress. Even when our actress made it clear she wasn't interested in any kind of sexual relationship with the celebrity, and at this point not even interested in a friendship with the celebrity, it didn't end. It was only when our actress had her lawyer send the celebrity a letter advising the next step would be a restraining order that the celebrity finally gave in and quit stalking.

  12. Angelina Jolie and Michelle Obama

  13. The actress is Jodie Foster

  14. This MUST be Jodie Foster and Patricia Cornwall. Cornwall was obsessed with Foster for awhile and I am pretty sure Jodie got lawyers involved.

    BTW Cornwall is an A list author, and her excuse was she wanted Jodie to play her main character in a movie.

    1. Ooooh, Basil, that's an EXCELLENT guess! Cornwell also has a history of substance abuse and weird domestic (read:v young so lots of throwing her money around) sitches

    2. Like this guess too. Is Cornwall a New Yorker? I'm guessing, literary crowd so yes.

    3. Good guess! I cosign

    4. Omg, Jodie would be perfect as Kay Scarpeta. She doesn't look Italian, but she would be great.

    5. That's an awesome guess, @Basil! Addresses every little aspect of the blind. Nice one!

    6. Foster isn't the first person Patricia C has stalked.

  24. Jodie Foster and Martina Navratilova

  25. I was going to make a crazy guess of Jenna Jameson stalking Kim Basinger, but Basil's guess makes much more sense. People just love stalking Jodie.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I like Basil's guess.

  31. Great guess Basil.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Lets share the glory Tricia.

  33. Basil's guess is correct, you can even google it, foster did indeed take a restraining order out against Patricia Cornwell.

  41. What is up with Jodie Foster and stalkers???

  42. @Basil - I was going to guess Cornwell (she is a really odd duck, but I have enjoyed a few of her books). I think you've got it!

    1. Err, is that a sequel to Silence of the Lambs,' @Seven?

  44. @Katie she doesn't seem that particularly interesting other than the actress part that i'd think anybody would wanna stalk her! lol

  45. I'll never forget seeing a sign/bumpersticker in John Waters' office (via Rolling Stone) way back in the day. It said, "I DID IT FOR JODIE". To this day, it makes me choke-laugh. I'm with Basil.

  46. Jodie Foster stalked Queen Latifah.

    "After the incident with her FBI lover, any number of stories were printed about Cornwell. It was alleged that she had become a stalker herself, harassing Jodie Foster. " Bunch of bullshit stuff! It was denied by my office, it was denied by her office." But was she upset when Foster turned down the chance to play Scarpetta? "That was a long time ago, almost 10 years ago. We had a cup of coffee some place and she wasn't interested in it. I wasn't upset . . . my feelings were hurt and I was very disappointed, but that's showbiz."

  48. ...and Fundamentalist Thor - god of Thunder & Lighnting, canceled Dingle's all inclusive parade of love, peace, and acceptance, with an Academy Award winner/nominee stalker as Grand Marshall...and the crowd quietly dispersed.

  49. Congrats to Tricia AND Basil. Looks like someone on Enty's staff is doing research on something.

    ReplyDelete
  50. @Bunni, I was thinking the same thing, Jodie would be perfect as Scarpetta, and if it took off, she could have made a lucrative franchise out of it. My guess is she said no because she did not want to have to deal with Cornwell for years on end. Shame really, because it could have been a great set of movies.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I agree with Basil. This sounds like the Jodi Foster/Patricia Comwell situation. It was actually written about in Page Six at the time.

    ReplyDelete
  52. I love the Four For Fridays that have only one or two people in the blind.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Awesome guess @Basil!

    Cornwell's Scarpetta books used to be so good. Her latest one was absolutely terrible - I couldn't even finish it because the plot was so ludicrous.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Thanks Basil. I picked Jodie Foster for the stalkee but had no idea who the stalker was. Cornwall makes perfect sense.

    ReplyDelete
  55. The Foster part was obvious to me after the "probably not the best idea when it comes to this particular actress" -- her John Hinckley/Reagan shooting stalker experience. Didn't know about Patricia Cornwell though. Interesting!

    ReplyDelete
  56. Thanks for all the kudos guys. I usually suck at guessing blinds, namely because I "guess" and don't use google or whatever (not that there is anything wrong with that, but I just like to see if my memory is still good). Anyway, this wasn't a guess, and I am surprised it is even a blind (though it is a fun one Enty) I work in a library and Cornwall is hugely popular, so this was pretty shocking news to people (not the stalking, but that Cornwall was gay. Jeez, even I figured that one out after reading her first couple of books), so that is how I remember this.

    But I feel I should defend Cornwall here. She may have had a crush on Foster, lots of gay women do, but I think what she was trying to do is what most writers, producers or directors do when they want a specific actor for a role: they try and woo them. Or at the very least, wear them down until they say yes. Probably Jodie is much more sensitive to that sort of thing given her history and read Cornwell all wrong and panicked. We will never know, but Cornwall herself has admitted what she did and why and it does sound to me like less of a stalking thing and more of a courting thing.

    Anyway, I seem to be doing pretty good at this guessing thing lately. Got the Rachel Zoe and her broccoli stem right, and this one right (though Enty hasn't confirmed), so you might want to start paying attention to me instead of a certain VIP blonde. (lol). Actually, don't. She has a much better track record than I. Now I am off to watch a movie called Scorned. It looked pretty good and I love a good revenge flick.

  57. Weren't Patricia Cornwall and Greta van Susteren an item at one point also?
