Today's Blind Items - Scrambling To Stay Out Of Jail
This B+ list mostly television actor has had a renaissance (btw the best part of my day was spelling that last word correctly without spell check) over the past year. His career went from pleasant has been to in demand. Everyone always had a soft spot for the guy and overlooked many of his flaws. Lots of flaws with this guy. The charming smile covers a lot of deep hurtful things he has done. Even though many of those are long past, there was a huge issue that happened about 18 months ago. Our actor was on a days long bender. Drugs and booze. Oh, and don't believe the hype that our actor is clean now. Please. Anyway, our actor likes nothing more than using his charm on teens. The ones that grew up watching his show. They are his demo. Always has been. If he could catch them on their 18th birthday at one minute past midnight, that would be his ideal. He is always careful about age checks.
The thing is though, this bender seriously affected his judgement. Oh, sure he asked how old she was and she told him 18. The thing is though she was 16. Yeah. This one isn't even close. Remarkably the whole thing hasn't gone to the police. Her family discovered the whole thing when looking through her phone. They called the actor's phone. They explained the situation. Our actor put them in touch with his business manager who was going to cut a check. The actor's attorney though started playing hardball and now what was going to be a simple check writing thing might end up with our actor in jail. The lawyer started threatening the family to try and get a better deal. All it did was make the family angry. There is no doubt the actor would go to jail. There is all kinds of proof. Now he is trying to scramble and make nice and the check will probably have to be double what it was before.

ReplyDeleteJonathan Rhys Meyers?

ReplyDeleteDoesn't say "foreign born" but I saw the word "renaissance" and thought about The Tudors which led me think of JRM.
ReplyDeleteIf the family cared about their kid or doing what was right, they'd have gone straight to the police so this entire scenario sounds just a bit hinky to me.
ReplyDeletesince when do you answer blinds right?!
ReplyDeleteLOL!
ReplyDeleteSince they're practically spelled out. All that's missing is "yogurt".
Stamos?
ReplyDeleteLOL too funny
ReplyDelete16 doesn't mean jail. It means bad publicity if he can't pay her & her family off to keep their mouths shut.
ReplyDelete14/15 or younger means jail.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like the attorney should have just done his job in the first place and not challenged the teen's cell-phone proof.
ReplyDeleteAnd, if I was the client, I would be making the attorney cover the check amount in excess of what I agreed initially to pay.
And, yes, the parents should have gone directly to the police in the first place.
There are good attorneys and bad attorneys: Good attorneys do what is needed to keep their clients legally safe.
Bad attorneys try to change the (thee) to the (tha).
I don't know how many teens grew up watching "The Tudors".
ReplyDeleteStamos gets my vote.
Go to the police? Over a 16 year old fucking around with a tv star? No. It would hit the tabloids no matter how hard they tried to keep it secret. All police stations leak like sieves and some LA cops have "arrangements" with the tabloids. What responsible parent wants their 16 year old daughter to be known as her high school's star-fucking slut?
ReplyDeleteKeep it quiet and move on.
Norman Reedus? He like em young too.
ReplyDeleteAt this point, wouldn't the family be in some trouble too? Extortion, at the least.
ReplyDeleteTypical. She's a slut for having sex with one person and he's just a "TV star". No mention of him being a slut even though he's the old man creeping on and sleeping with tons of young girls.
ReplyDeleteIts OK to plow our underage daughter as long as theres enough zeros! Probably the best financial move they've made lookingnat her phone!
ReplyDeleteHe's going to quit doing the Greek and start reppin' Gogurt
ReplyDelete16 is the age of consent in my state. Still creepy though!
ReplyDelete'full house' - final episode 1995. can now 16 y.o. grow up watching this show? any "kids friendly" shows of 2000-? just curios...
ReplyDeleteI'd think kids now still know Full House from reruns. It's probably been on the air in reruns since they stopped actually making the show
ReplyDeleteI so do t want this to be him but it fits.
ReplyDelete(Charmed by his smile , I admit).
Double your payout and fire your lawyer, dude.
ReplyDeletePrecisely my thoughts kno
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly. Their little precious lied and did god knows what else, but she can do no wrong in their eyes as long as she's an ATM machine.
ReplyDeleteExcept there is zero doubt that TMZ would plaster her face on the site and make her and her family out to be trying to cash in, because that's what TMZ does. If it's a non-celebrity v. a celebrity, they will at least 90 percent of the time utterly trash the non-celebrity filing charges or whatever (there might be 1 or 2 celebrities or big names TMZ would prefer to trash 100 percent of the time).
ReplyDeleteSettlements happen every day. Every. Day.
ReplyDeleteMy mind went immediately to David Duchovny. Lots of gals fancied Mulder & he's still a well-known pussy hound, but I agree that Stamos is the better guess. Shame on everyone involved in this sordid shit show. Nothing good can happen when greed trumps good judgement.
ReplyDeleteI was completely off too.My mind went immediately to David Hasselhoff !
ReplyDeleteMichael Keaton, maybe?
ReplyDeleteStamos. HOWEVER, I could add 90% of all celebs here, as well.
ReplyDeleteI agree that Stamos fits, but couldn't this also be Matthew Perry of Friends?
