Today's Blind Items - Fame Went To His Head

A first timer in the blinds today. Two years ago, none of you knew his name and two years from now, everyone will probably be asking what happened to him. He could have had it all. I think some part of him wanted to succeed at his chosen profession, but most of him got caught up in the fame and the idea of a quick buck with little to no work. Our celebrity is B+ list. A year ago he was closer to A list and he definitely had a list name recognition. A whirlwind of publicity followed by A listers reaching out to him and wanting to have dinner with him or a drink went to his head. All of that is just an illusion. It is fleeting. He didn't know that. In order to keep any of that momentum going you need a great team and you need to stay on top of your game. He didn't have a great team. They turned down the good and kept the bad and assumed offers would keep rolling in. Nope. They dried up along with all of that attention he had received earlier. The money was disappearing. So, he tired to mount a comeback, but it was going to be too hard. Too much drinking. Too much partying. He was cheating on his significant other like crazy. The significant other found out and has all kinds of juicy info. The last chance was gone. He threw it away to keep partying. If he is lucky he might get a job doing something related to his field. Maybe. He has burned a lot of bridges with a lot of people who were trying to help, but when he started star f**king he left them behind.

  7. I can only guess that this is an athlete or some kind of reality show person like a bachelor contestant.

    I'm not surprised about the Michael Sam engagement for a couple of reasons.

    I feel like it's Johnny too but I also feel like he's been in blinds before, as have most of these people besides maybe Michael Sam but was he really ever up there...

    I think Sandy has it. Michael Sam was the first name that came to mind. He disappeared from that Canadian football team he was on, as well. Only thing giving me pause is that he might also be described as a reality star. Enty tends to do that. If not Sam, then I'm going with Johnny Football.

    @Sheezy-yeah, i think so..Michael Sam was on the cover of EVERY magazine,on EVERY talkshow-everyone wanted to say they talked to him..& then he was on DWTS to boot & was a favorite for many voters.sooo,
    @Sandy's guess FTW is my vote.

    but,Johnny Manziel wasn't a household or A name for alot of people...especially non-football people & wasn't he here in the BIs for his drunken episodes?

    Actually my 1st thought was Ryan Lochte -the U.S.A. Olympian Swimmer who had that short-lived reality show on E in 2013...whatever happened to him?

    Ryan Lochte, Johnny Manziel, and Kaerpatrick have all been blind reveals though...

    Ryan L.was too long ago but boy did he blow a good potential for lifelong endorsements w/his looks & achievements by his stupid Vegas partying & reality dating show...eh?

    @Tricia, i wasn't guessing him-his name was famous BEFORE 2013 anyways...I was just musing as to whatever happened to him...

    As I initially said, i think @Sandy got this w/Michael Sam for sure.

    Not Manziel. Manziel is still playing football in Cleveland, has cleaned-up his act, and still has a couple of years left on his contract along with endorsements from Nike and others, so the money is still there.

    This could very well be Michael Sam, but I have not heard stories that he is a big drinker/partier and a star-f*cker; however, everything else fits pretty well for Michael Sam.
