Today's Blind Items - Evil
I guess its fitting that this is being written in the same month as Halloween. The thing is, it is right up there with any of the scenes you would see in a slasher movie. Apparently there are a handful of people who know this story, which is way more than you would expect with something of this significance. It happened about a decade ago on a film set outside the country. It involves a then A+ list mostly movie actor who was married at the time. Back then he was a quiet cheater and kept his indiscretions outside the country which is why he probably shot so many movies outside the US. Later he would change his strategy when it came to cheating and it backfired in a big way.
Anyway, our actor was hooking up with a local woman. He was experimenting with drugs which he still does now. Usually he goes for more of the hallucinogenic variety rather than coke. Combined with the steroids and HGh he takes, he can be this rage machine that thinks he is seeing things. Since there were only two people in the room when it happened, no one knows for sure what led to it, but a woman was killed. The same woman he had been hooking up with. She had a broken neck and burns on her body. At the time it happened there was a massive hurricane in the area and no power. Production on the movie had been shut down because of the wind and rain. Our actor was staying in a house he was renting. One of the crew was called to the house by an assistant director and told to bring a tarp and some heavy duty tape. He went over to the house and the assistant director met him at the door holding a lantern. The crew member saw what he thought was a mannequin's body lying on the floor. he thought it was a mannequin because he didn't think it was possible for a human to be in that position. Probably why she was dead. He handed over the tarp and tape and then left. Another crew member said that he was asked the same night if there was some kind of bulldozer available. he said yes, and when he was asked what it was needed for, he was told they just wanted to see if one was available in case there was extensive storm damage. When that crew member showed up at the holding area where the production kept all vehicles and equipment two days later, the lock to the gate was broken but nothing was missing. The bulldozer however was in a completely different spot and was covered in mud. What is bringing all of this together now is that the assistant director who was making all the calls is not receiving money from the actor any longer and has been talking to other people about selling the information he has about the woman and what happened.
tl;dr Mickey Rourke?
ReplyDeletesteven segal
ReplyDeleteSteven Seagal?
ReplyDeleteIt would be Stallone but he's still married
ReplyDeleteSeagal got married in 2009
ReplyDeleteNot married in 2005, Dolph Lundgren then
ReplyDeleteMel Gibson
ReplyDeletehe doen't fit for about a decade ago either
ReplyDeleteThis whole BI depends on the steroids and hGH part....
ReplyDeleteRussel crowe
ReplyDeleteWell, this is interesting. I don't think either Seagal was A+ list in 2005. Mickey Rourke had The Wrestler in 2008, but wasn't doing much 10 years ago - video game voices and stuff.
ReplyDeleteBrad Pitt. in 2005, he was still married to Aniston and making Mr & Mrs Smith.
Or Gibson...
ReplyDeleteBut Crowe during Gladiator was pretty roided looking
The film he was working on at the time was Cinderella Man. I'm consistently wrong about alphabet ratings, but I don't think Crowe was opening movies on his own a decade ago.
ReplyDeleteI have read this blind inside and backwards---why are people stating the year was 2005!?
ReplyDeleteThis has to be Arnold Shwarzenegger. His huge mistake was getting his maid pregnant.
ReplyDeleteGladiator was 2000. Mel Gibson wasn't filming anything 10 years ago - Depp wasn't married, Affleck was JUST married, Clooney wasn't married.
ReplyDeleteFor that matter, Mickey Rourke wasn't married, either.
nvmnd---I missed "it happened a decade ago"
ReplyDelete"It happened about a decade ago " To me that means 2004 - 2006.
ReplyDeleteCrowe is still married and currently bloated. By default it has to be Mel.
ReplyDeleteThe time frame is "about a decade ago."
ReplyDeleteI'll stick with Crowe who was A+for sure 2000-20008 ish...He filmed a movie"Master and Commander-Far Side of the world" about. Decade ago/famous cheating scandal with Meg Ryan/was married to Danieele Spencer then and though technically still I think- they have been estranged/ separated for last 7/8 years I think
ReplyDeleteSylvester Stallone. Or Brad Pitt. I say Brad Pitt because I think it's someone we wouldn't suspect.
ReplyDeleteMel isn't muscle bound.
ReplyDeleteNo out-of-country filming for the ~10 year time window.
ReplyDeleteThen again, Enty likes to play fast & loose with facts.
Cinderella man and American Gangster were pretty big vehicles for Crowe....
ReplyDeleteLots of people take steroids who don't look like jacked cartoons. Some people take them to stay awake or for asthma or an autoimmune disorder. Or to keep up with a round-the-clock shooting schedule in a country where they can't get meth or coke so easily.
ReplyDeleteSlasher? More a murder mystery or thriller.
ReplyDeleteSeagal is many crappy things, but A+ list a decade ago and into drugs aren't two of them. Rourke, same, rating and timing off and not married. Stallone no cheating blow ups, and still married. Arnold?
ReplyDeletehe's not small either for his age. He actually looks pretty good. Better than I thought.
ReplyDeleteSeveral years ago I read that Pitt took HGH but they probably all do. I didn't know what it was and had to do a search. Did he take steroids for Fight Club? If not, it's got to be one of the muscle men, Stallone or Arnold.
ReplyDeleteGov. of Calif. starting in 2003
ReplyDeleteNic Cage? Married to Lisa Marie from 2002-2004
ReplyDeleteThe only thing he filmed a decade ago was The Kid & I, a Tom Arnold movie - and he played himself. And he was still governor of California.
ReplyDeleteThat's a possibility.
ReplyDeletefilming Lord of War in South Africa
ReplyDeletemarried in 2004 still married now, been married most of the last 25 years to different wimmens.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know that. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThe key to this blind is: "Back then he was a quiet cheater and kept his indiscretions outside the country which is why he probably shot so many movies outside the US. Later he would change his strategy when it came to cheating and it backfired in a big way." Russel Crowe would make sense if the Meg Ryan scandal had gone done in the late 2000s, rather than 2000ish. He doesn't make sense with that clue. Nic Cage, Swarzenegger, Pitt, Seagal - do they fit that clue? Who was A+ mid-2000s, likes hallucinogenics, that has had a change in cheating strategies that backfired in a big way?
ReplyDeleteMel is jacked. He's always wearing wife beaters around town showing his arms.
ReplyDeleteI think that just because he was married then does not mean he is not married now.
ReplyDeleteMel makes sense for this if the ten years was a broad estimate, except did he shoot that many movies outside the U.S.? Oksana Grigorieva would fit though for a change of strategy that "backfires", though he created that by being abusive to her. Who is known for shooting movies outside the U.S.?
ReplyDeleteHmm. "Massive hurricane" and "outside the country" about a decade ago. Katrina? Could that narrow this down?
ReplyDeleteAt first thought it sounded like Arnold. But was he considered A+ list ten years ago? Plus he was in politics at that point. Looking at the Pitt guess. Babel was filmed in morocco in 2005 right? Were they filming when tropical storm delta went through? It was a hurricane but downgraded before it hit morocco.
ReplyDeleteHmm. Maybe not. Came close but never reached hurricane levels.
ReplyDeleteWere there any movies filming in the Bahamas while Katrina went through?
ReplyDeleteFor what it's worth, Pirates of the Caribbean shut down production in 2005 due to a hurricane: http://s13.invisionfree.com/bmth/ar/t84.htm
ReplyDeleteI read it as the Thailand tsunami, which was in 2004. I also read it as Seagal. He's got a history of violence against women in other countries. The timeline is too vague, but the man does film outside the country a lot. And he's been married a lot. And he was A+ at one point.
ReplyDelete"Mother Nature had her say during filming of the first sequel, Dead Man's Chest (2006), when Hurricane Wilma forced the evacuation of the cast and crew to Los Angeles.
ReplyDeleteThe movie was being filmed back-to-back with the third entry, At World's End (2007), in the Bahamas when the hurricane came through in October 2005."
Hmmm...
Of course, it's possible the blind is using the word 'hurricane' simply to mean a really bad storm.
ReplyDeleteJean Claude Van Damme?
ReplyDeleteLeaving Vanessa Paradis for whatsherface that's just waiting for him to die, might be considered a change of strategy that backfires. And Hallucinogenics actually makes sense for him, it doesn't make sense for many actors when you think about it. Enty said he was married, but he also said Sean Combs used to be married today, so . . .
ReplyDeleteBut Johnny was never married to Vanessa. "Married at the time"
ReplyDeleteNot exactly true. Corticosteroids and anabolic steroids are 2 different kinds of drugs. Anabolics are for muscle development. Corticosteroids, like predinisone are the kind that are immunosuppressants and can keep you awake. Entard is talking about anabolic steroids because it was being used in conjunction with hGH which is also used to build muscle. This is Ahnold.
ReplyDeleteHe was a top guess for this other murder blind http://www.crazydaysandnights.net/2015/07/todays-blind-items-he-had-him-killed.html
ReplyDelete"Later he would change his strategy when it came to cheating and it backfired in a big way." Who has had big cheating scandals? Arnold. Ben A. Anyone else?
ReplyDeleteDoes Christian Bale fit?
ReplyDeleteHe filmed the machinist in 2004 when he lost all that weight. Batman in 2005 so he did bulk up fast between films. Also he's been married since 2000 and had a cheating scandal with Anne H. Was he filming during any hurricanes?
ReplyDeleteMel Gibson--filming of Apocalypto was shut down due to hurricanes. Timeline/ marriages/ cheating/ rating all fit. Suspected of using steroids after being spotted at hormone clinics.
ReplyDeletePitt filmed Troy in 2004 in Mexico. The set was but by two hurricanes. "The outer walls of Troy were built and filmed in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.[4] Film production was disrupted for a period after Hurricane Marty affected filming areas.[5] "
ReplyDeleteLong time lurker, first time poster. Tom Cruise films quite a few movies out of the country. I could see him using HGH and steroids.
ReplyDeleteTrying to place Sean Penn out of the country around that time and not getting anywhere. He's such an odd combination of an abuser and humanitarian...always seems like he's trying to atone for something he's done...but he hasn't stopped his abusive behavior. They usually don't stop.
ReplyDeletePitt was filming Troy in Mexico and morocco in 2004. The set was hit by two hurricanes. One right before the last scene was filmed and they had to spend millions to rebuild. Married to Jen A at the time. Cheating scandal with A Jolie. "Mostly movie actor" he's had a few cameos on TV.
ReplyDeleteGood research, Purbear! It seems to fit.
ReplyDeleteThanks, LauraOK.

ReplyDeleteReply
But isn't it hard to picture this being Brad Pitt? He seems like such a sweet, decent human being. Also, it's hard to imagine that if it was him, he'd stop paying as he seems like someone that has their books in order and would have a sense of the gravity of something like this. For Gibson this would be "on-brand", and I can see the argument for Depp too, mostly b/c he seems to have serious substance abuse issues now that might interfere with that person being paid. This made me think of Penn too, though I don't see any cheating backfiring things.
ReplyDeleteHe fits the clues better than anyone else listed IMO. Maybe all the good works he does now is him trying to asaunge the guilt. I'm not saying it's him, just a guess. Sadly, nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to what someone is capable of when trying to save themselves. I don't think anyone listed would intentionally kill someone, but they may try to cover it up to save themselves from prosecution if they accidentally did. Going by the clues the person must:
ReplyDeleteHave been married around ten years ago.
Had some sort of cheating scandal.
Acted mostly in movies but could have had small parts on TV.
Filmed action type movies.
Filmed on an out of country location that had a hurricane go through while filming, also around ten years ago.
History of dabbling in drugs/steroids.
Johnny Depp or Sean penn fits the description. Depp hangs with Manson and seems to be a fan of hard drugs. Penn looks cut and has had violent outbursts. Karma's a bitch . It will come out soon,like Cosby's secrets!
ReplyDeleteDepp wasn't married then. Was penn out of the country for any films back then? I don't know many movies of his. I'll have to imdb it.
ReplyDeleteAntonio Banderas maybe
ReplyDeleteAgree with this reasoning, AC. It needs to be someone capable of extreme violence toward women. Brad Pitt has dated a lot of women, and I've never heard a word about him being violent. I know drugs/steroids make people violent, but it would have come out at some point. There are a lot of good guesses here. Mel Gibson seems to fit the specifics, in addition to having a history of violence toward women. So far, he's the best candidate for this one, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteIm going with pitt. It says that it backfired when he cheated in the US. Mr and Mrs smith was filmed in the US plus the hurricanes that hit the troy set in Mexico. Its him
ReplyDeletePitt's not the type.
ReplyDeleteIt could be Depp but I'm going with Gibson. He was my first thought reading the blind and it hasn't changed in reading all the other answers.
Think about it. Pitt is with Jolie. Remember her with Billy Bob? You know they were into kinky stuff, so we can assume Pitt is too. I'm guessing he didn't mean to off the poor woman in this blind. They were prolly into their kink/experimentation, and he accidentally killed her. Not defending him by any means. Just connecting the dots. Pitt is also a known pot head and hallucinate user.
ReplyDeleteThe others don't fit the clues. Mel Gibson was only in one movie around that time "paparazzi" he wasn't even credited in it. It was also filmed in the US. Depp wasn't married. The hurricane clue really narrows it down. Until someone names a married, cheating, action A lister that was filming in another country that was hit by a hurricane while filming, I'm sticking with Pitt. It's not like they're saying he's a serial killer. It would've been an accident, therefore the "he's just too nice to do something like that, even on drugs" posts don't cut it to me. Drugs can alter your mind and do things you'd never think you would do.
ReplyDeleteWikipedia says Mel paid the largest divorce settlement in Hollywood history after pics were published of him at the beach with Oksana. $400,000,000 "backfire in a big way". Hurricane mentioned above. Known for stopping "sin" payments--Oksana for a few words on Howard Stern.
ReplyDelete@SC: Purbear got the movie: "Mel Gibson–filming of Apocalypto was shut down due to hurricanes. Timeline/ marriages/ cheating/ rating all fit. Suspected of using steroids after being spotted at hormone clinics" The other details are below (see Vote4Mel below) -- and other places throughout this thread. I'm voting Mel.
ReplyDeleteOne of the biggest clues is in the second sentence... Pitt was a 1989 slasher movie called "Cutting Class"
ReplyDeleteI don't want it to be Brad Pitt but did you see his body in Troy? Dude was ripped. Possible steroids during that time?
ReplyDeleteHmm. I doubt this assistant director will actually get a story in the tabs from this. None of the truly bad blinds on this site ever end up being exposed. Makes me think people get paid off, or the blinds are made up. E.g. I'm still waiting for Charlie Sheen to be arrested for paedophilia.
ReplyDeleteMel was also directing The Passion of the Christ in Italy in 2003-2004 time frame, for the "shot so many movies out of the country" line. It didn't say he was actually acting in them.
ReplyDeleteThese blind items are ridiculous. I don't like the long and winding and confusing way Enty writes.
ReplyDeleteAs for who it might be, if this is not entirely made up of whole cloth, I would put my money on the actors with anger issues and erratic behavior - guys like Penn and Gibson. I don't for a minute see Brad Pitt having done this. In fact, I think Enty made it all up.
[…] October 5, 2015 […]
ReplyDeleteThis is certainly made up as the same blind is used again 2016. Brad Pitt is allegedly the one involved while filming Troy.. It's horseshit.
