Four For Friday- Til Death To Us Part
It is once again Friday. A very hot Friday here in Los Angeles. Last I checked it was a few degrees cooler in hell aka Kris Jenner's house. I noticed that living in LA we tend to complain about the weather every chance we get. For approximately 300 days a year the weather is perfect so we really make the most out of the other 60 days a year. You are probably saying that I missed 5 days. I did, but that is the average number of days the average person here sleeps through after partying too much. Anyway, I will be here all weekend and I would love for you to follow me on Twitter. I am @entylawyer
This is a marriage that is based on convenience but there is a lot of love too. It isn't just two people bearding for each other, it is a lot more. Our actress at one point reached A list when her long running network show was on the air. Content now with the odd indie movie or a cameo, she wants to stay out of the limelight. She has made enough money to last several lifetimes. She met her husband many years ago when she was at her peak. She had a long time girlfriend who was now gone because our actress would never go public with something like that. For some reason she ended up telling her story to a guy from a party who then told her his story. He had been in a relationship with another man for a long time and the man died of complications related to AIDS. The man from the party told our actress that he is HIV+. For some reason, the two clicked. They started spending all their time together and eventually they married. Never any sex. They do have offspring. IVF. Her egg and another man's sperm. That is a big secret. Everyone thinks he donated the sperm, but then the HIV_ story would have to be explained. When he has been sick and he has been frequently, our actress is the loving wife. She is a great mom. She also has lots of fun with two women who share the role of girlfriend in her life. She is very discreet, not only because she doesn't want to come out, but she also doesn't want to embarrass her husband by being caught. He knows of course. He knows everything, but he loves that she is his, at least in public.

Marcia cross
ReplyDeleteGood guess Tricia. I've heard she's a wonderful lady and the rumors about her liking ladies.
DeleteTnx@Reno....I hope her hubby ok...I remember he had the chance scare years ago
DeleteGreat guess but the "her egg" part doesn't fit. Marcia's gone on record in the press about the fact that her girls were conceived using donor eggs by a "much younger" woman, I've actually really admired her openness and candor about that fact; it's incredibly rare in Hollywood and elsewhere.
DeleteI don't know why I am thinking of Jill Hennessey for this. I guess cus when we met she appeared a bit butchy to me.
ReplyDeleteMontana, definitely not Jill Hennessey. I know her family and it's so not her.
DeleteReally at @Loopymommy? I mean, do any of us actually "know" anyone behind closed doors? Truthfully, own best friends don't know 1/2 of the details about the guys I've dated and just about nothing when it comes to my most private thoughts and feelings. I'm not trying to be rude but I don't see how knowing an independent adult's family would somehow give anyone insight into that person's innermost workings...
DeleteWhat does the "Four" in "Four For Friday" have to do with anything?
ReplyDeleteIKR like most things on this site it doesn't seem to pan out.
DeleteOo and zack- ive noticed that too, lol
DeleteMy first thought was Lisa Kudrow.
ReplyDeleteMe, too.
DeleteI'm going with your guess. She has one child, and her husband seems to fit the part.
DeleteMacy/Huffman?
ReplyDeleteIt's like you're not even tryin. Jk they have a few children
DeleteCheryl Ladd
ReplyDeleteBecause back in the day the blinds really did involve 4 characters we had to figure out who they were. Now not so much. @0_0
ReplyDeleteBTW Great guess, I can see it @Tricia
Thank you @MM!
DeleteVeronica, I thought Lisa Kudrow too.
ReplyDeleteTricia,
ReplyDeletegreat guess. her husband has been sick a lot..
Tnx Simon...yes. ..he has:( Jay Mahoney....
DeleteTricia got it. Married in. 06, IV fertilization and he had cancer in remission.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason, I thought it was older, like Mary Tyler Moore.
ReplyDeleteMarcia Cross's husband had cancer and is in remission.
Not that it matters. Whoever this is sounds like good people and if she's a good mom, it doesn't matter where the sperm came from.
It could be. Cancer is what they use to call aids/hiv
DeleteNo guesses. My goodness, this is so freaking sad.... love takes so many different forms.
ReplyDeleteActually, with 2 girlfriends a husband and wife then there are four.
ReplyDeleteLooking at pics of him he gives great gay face, wow I kinda like their set up it's the perfect fag and hag set up kinda like my bff and I, lol.
ReplyDeleteGood work Tricia
ReplyDeleteTnx sir..
DeleteI imagine it would be hard for her to have come out...I believevshet is from an uppercrust ME(Massachusetts) family..sad
*NE
DeleteThis is actually so sweet that I hope they live happily ever after. HIV isn't a death sentence anymore, though I have no idea about his specific health status. Happy trails, happy family!
ReplyDeleteThat is true Kno Won. Although I found it sad because it seems for him, he may have complicating health issues.
DeleteIf it works for them it's o.k with me…different strokes
ReplyDeleteCheryl Ladd is no longer married to David, this blind implies they are still married. Also not sure about Kudrow--when it says the sperm donation is a big secret it makes it sound like people know she had IVF but don't know that the sperm was not her husband's--is there any gossip about Kudrow undergoing IVF? Same for Huffman--she fits with the independent work etc. but I don't recall IVF talk around her either. Cross seems like the best fit.
ReplyDeleteLove is love. Good for them.
ReplyDeleteI like Marcia for this you need a former A list tv not really working. Civilian husband. Known IVF. Children plural.
ReplyDeleteI think Tricia deserves a high five for this one. Sheesh! Like lightning!
ReplyDeleteThe Turkish coffee remember @Bee!!:)
DeleteTricia: how about, if you're ever in Aus, my hubby makes you the BEST chai ever? Sri Lankan friend's recipe. Otherwise, I'll pop over to yours for a cuppa, and sample your coffee? (My turkish friend's was amaaaazing. Then she'd tell your fortune!)
DeleteThey have two kids. I looked up kudrow and her, cross hangs on her husband like the get it on, where as lisa and her hubby doesn't.
DeleteFor some reason I thought of Michelle Phiefer but then I remembered her husband is a producer or something.
ReplyDeleteMan just noticed tv show
DeleteHa ha fedwaymom! Me too!
DeleteLike the Marcia Cross guess.
ReplyDeleteBut what are her cameo and indie movie roles?
Since Desperate ended, she's done 1 TV movie and it looks like all her work is in television.
If this is Marcia, then I just love her more.
ReplyDeleteAlso, for a time 4 for Friday were 4 blind items (not necessarily one item w/ 4 people). Back in the day there weren't blind items on every day - just the 4 on Friday.
ReplyDeleteThis is kinda sweet.
ReplyDeleteI have a hard time believing this is Marcia. She was with Richard Jordan for years and years before his death. Also agree she hasn't done any cameo/indie roles since DH.
ReplyDeleteI like the Marcia Cross guess, but the "she made enough money to last several lifetimes" and indie movies is what keeps me wondering. Marcia Cross doesn't work on movies.
ReplyDeleteWeren't the Gay rumors pretty strong right before Marcia got married?
ReplyDeleteGood for them. They live their lives and stay out of the limelight.
Yes. She was rumor to had been dating some woman from another network hit show.

ReplyDeleteLooks I'm not the only person who had the word "sweet" running through her head while reading this. I'm so happy they found each other and hope the husband is ok. It sounds like they couldn't have been luckier to have found each other :)
ReplyDeleteFour for Friday? This sounds more like a kindness blind.
ReplyDeleteI was going to say what Robert said. I actually count 5 in there- the original long-term girlfriend, too.
ReplyDeleteKelly Preston and Travolta
ReplyDeleteI think the children look strongly like Travolta though.
DeleteNo. All the kids are his.
DeleteI kept thinking of Sarah Jessica Parker as I read this
ReplyDeletePortlandgirl: this is awful. But when I read tour guess I had a visual of SJP with a feedbag around her horseface.
ReplyDeleteLove the Macy/Huffman guess, except they were married long before she hit a peak in her career.
ReplyDelete...wait...I don't think the husband is a celeb/actor. Just the wife.
ReplyDeleteI may send in a similar blind. I have to check the acg archives fist to see if it's been on here before.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if Cross quit fits, she's had a few very long term relationships with male actors.
ReplyDelete*shrug* Good for them. I'm content to never know this one.
ReplyDeletePhoebe Cates and Kevin Kline?
ReplyDeleteThese two are truly soulmates. I wish them all happiness and good health.
ReplyDeleteThis seems like Sarah Jessica Parker to me, Unless I missed something, it doesn't specifically say that the husband is not famous.
ReplyDelete@portlandgirl I thought of them too
ReplyDeletethen again Matthew Broderick never looks like "he loves that she is his, at least in public."
ReplyDelete@Bee..just circled back..um YES!!!
ReplyDeleteMy sis goes all the time(Aussie hubby/in laws, lucky gal)
I've never been.....it's on bucket list:)
Love chai..it's...to-die!!(see what I did there)??
@trilby..just got back to blind..but thank you(if for me) the high 5:) if not....oh well..lol
ReplyDelete@Bee - I LOVE chai!! It is my favorite. Hard to get it with the right amount to spice
ReplyDeleteI used to go to a place in Santa Cruz that had the best chai ever - I'm a little farther away now but have yet to match it
Turkish coffee is also outstanding. Wakes you right up!!
Ok back to the blind - I initially thought Travolta and Preston but he hasn't been sick a lot
Either way, I think this arrangement is really sweet and good for them :)
I think the Marcia Cross guess is right on the money. I have always liked her and she seems like a woman who is very decent and has helped many of her co stars through various issues. This sounds like a better marriage than most to me. Good luck to them
ReplyDeleteAIDS is awful, but with today's meds people are living a long full life. It's people like Johnson coming out that give others hope.
ReplyDeleteRinna/Hamlin?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely not Lisa Kudrow. She is still working. Her show The Comeback is airing in Nov on HBO. (Yay!)
ReplyDelete@Bee Haven
ReplyDelete@Tricia S
If we were rich, we could have a yearly CDaN get together. London, Melbourne, Miami, New Jersey. I'm sure Count could fit several of us in his basement. I'm not wearing the chains, though...well, not all night.
@Yoj- would it were possible to book such a festive, culturally enriching and no doubt-sexy get together,...:)
ReplyDeleteHave you a week in mind????:)))
And we are rich in..character all of us, and wit....and - gossip.
ReplyDeleteWho needs money ?
@Tricia S
ReplyDeleteBritish Airways needs money, for one. I'm 5'10", I won't fit in the overhead compartment.
I could use my credit card. The one I've had drummed into me since I was knee high to a grasshopper was ONLY FOR EMERGENCIES (my father is self-made working class and consequently terrified of debt. Scary bedtime stories for us featured rent collectors and loan sharks breaking down the door and stealing our furniture).
I think we should let Count pick the date, seeing as he's going to need to take the time off work (and all his energy) in order to properly take care of us all;)
@ Yoj..here here.
ReplyDeleteCC's are not even in my go to McGiver file.
Like you, I come from a very hard working who valued such things. (Though I daresay I pushed every boundary possible on rational, reason! and responsibility???the 3 R's...lol
*hard working background
ReplyDeleteMontanaMarriott we prefer to be called Fruit Flies and not Fag hags..LOL
ReplyDeleteIf it weren't for the chirrens this sounds like my friends sister. They love each other and are very happy together. No one is "duped" at all. It's very out in the open and no one even thinks about giving it the side eye. They're lovely, happy people.
Tricia..Don't forget to stop in at SF on your travels. Wink wink!
@Sherry
ReplyDeleteDon't think I forgot about you, Sherry! I remembered that you were in Northern California, but I didn't know which city.
BTW have you or your family been affected by the wildfires?
0_0 - 4 people to guess. Husband, wife, 2 girlfriends.
ReplyDelete@Sherry...how could I, or anyone that's ever been, forget SF??
ReplyDelete:)
@Sherry for some reason I always thought you were across the pond in the UK LOL
ReplyDeleteWaving from further down the CA coast!!
Teresa, really? Thought I was a Brit. I'm flattered although Violet and others from the UK may not think so.
ReplyDeleteTricia, yes darling don't forget us in NorCal.
Yoj, so far Blanc Debris, the country manor outside of Jackson, CA has been spared any fires but we've smelled plenty. We hope never to have to bug out quickly. *crosses fingers*
Wiiibur Smith.
