Blind Item #9

This long time actress who used to be A+ list in television, and starred in some great movies too is suffering from Alzheimers and a planned tribute for her had to be canceled because she is just not well enough to attend.

    1. I like this guess. And the whole Dan Quail/Murphy Brown hubbub has been coming up again. Maybe some sort of (any) candidate event.

  5. I'm agreeing with Princess Nobody because you never see Candice at all in public or hear from her.

  13. So sad about Mary.

  15. Simon, I think the NE actually gets legitimate tips and then they get "test tips" (like when celebrities tell people something to see if it makes it into the tabloids).

    One source could be reliable and giving accurate info and then a celebrity gives them a test tip that turns out to be false and that's all that people remember are the times NE got it wrong.

  16. @jennifer, good to know! I remember they got the John Edwards affair correctly when other media wouldn't touch it

  17. I know this is suppose to be serious but I had to laugh at Jennifer Aniston! Maybe that's why she has such horrible taste in guys, she can remember how awfully douchetastic the last dude was and gets a new version of him.
    Vince Vaughan - plays a good d-bag, probably because he gets practice in real life
    John Mayer - DoucheMaster extraordinaire!
    Justin Theroux - Hipster douche (that's the only way to explain his bromance with Uncle Terry)

    1. All that weed and tequila will kill the memory. How many times did she take Mayer back?? See she forgets.

  19. Mary Tyler Moore sprang to mind immediately. So sad. :-(

    ReplyDelete
  20. But was Mary Tyler Moore even in any great movies? Or was that when she was very young?

    ReplyDelete
  21. Simon, they got the John Edwards affair; they were going to break Bristol Palin's pregnancy so the campaign confirmed it before NE could; Tiger and his many mistresses; etc...they've actually gotten a lot of scoops but they also get a lot wrong. That's why I think they get test tips.

  23. MTM was in a movie with Elvis, ordinary people which is an oscar winner, thoroughly modern Millie, etc

    ReplyDelete
  24. MTM was in some great movies way back when - Ordinary People and Just Between Friends come to mind. I guess that ages me.

    ReplyDelete
  25. She was amazing in Flirting with Disaester....amazing(she andGeorge Segal)

    ReplyDelete
  26. Yes MTM has done terrific work in terrific movies. Whoever this is, so so sad.

    ReplyDelete
  27. What is Angela Lansbury up to? She's been in some big movies! Mary Poppins, Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Whomever it is, sad.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Carol Burnett is very much alive and kicking and accepting awards all over the country.

  29. Candice Bergen had a stroke a few years ago but says that she has recovered. I think this blind is MTM though.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I sadly agree that it's MTM as well.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I think its MTM too. Police frequently called to her house because shes so unreasonable and argues with her husband. She also falls alot, which is a sign things are not well. Shes pretty used up, poor thing.

    ReplyDelete
  32. MTM was nominated for an Oscar for Ordinary People (which won best picture that year -1981?) !

  33. Kris Jenner. Because no mom in her right mind would be doing what she's doing to her kids.

  34. Angela Lansbury is doing "Blithe Spirit" on stage in London.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Thank you, @mw, Angela Lansbury is doing very well.

    It has to be someone beloved enough to warrant a tribute. MTM.
