Today's Blind Items - The Trade

Lets go back in the day. This actress was A list. Mostly movies and always quirky. When this group of people had a "pretty" movie she was not usually invited. When they needed reality and good acting they cast her. She has worked infrequently since her heyday. Producers and directors grew up with her movies and want to cast her, but the roles are generally a cameo or stunt casting. Nothing real. Then, along came this A list director. He had a project for her. He found out she knew this up and coming barely legal actor. Our director heard the actor is gay, but had not been able to close the deal no matter how many carrots he offered. He had a very very big carrot to offer and that is not some sexual innuendo. He had a big part in a franchise but the actor wasn't interested in the casting couch route. Our director offered our actress a few roles here and there an even a guest gig in the franchise at some point if she could talk the actor into having sex with the director. For two months she worked on it and the actor, still a teenager at the time, hooked up with the director. The director cast the actor in the role. The director then cast our actress in a role to watch over the actor and make sure he stayed available to the director. For a year, that was her job. To monitor the sex life of the actor and make sure he only hooked up with the director. This guy is so strange. He did come through on the roles and the guest gig in the franchise though.

    Damn this is a good one. I wish Enty would stop using "back in the day" and just give us a decade or a year since that term is so subjective.

    Matt Dillon may fit for the actor and I'm stuck with back in the day being the 80s, although Entern sometimes makes back in the day 2000-2005.

    The actor (if Singer, is probably Tye Sheridan ) who is only 19 now and was underage when he did X Men. He is being considered for War Games the remake, so maybe he does know Ally Sheedy(in the original).

    and (hopefully not) Tye Sheridan who plays Cyclops?
    i love this kid Tye Sheridan -he was in Mud and Joe-really cute
    I'll hate Ally Sheedy forever if this is even close to being true.

    I know - it's like what a sicko if her. TBH , the only thing I ever liked her in was High Art because she didn't try to do tnat quirky thing and was raw(some say role much like her). And the character was a bit- rough....maybe she is? Definitely a private person(for an actress).

    Group of people: the Brat Pack?
    'Pretty' movie: "Pretty in Pink?"
    Ally Sheedy would fit if these are clues.

    I had to check IMDb to make sure this wasn't somehow Lili Taylor. Looks like it's not, thank goodness. I like her.

    Sheedy/Singer makes sense. Vulture in 2014: "Singer meets most of the younger men he dates through trusted friends who act as intermediaries—or, less charitably, procurers." BARF.

    Not Mare. She's had a solid career on Broadway & off-Broadway for the past almost decade and has worked almost without a break since she was 18.

    (And she has 5 children -- I don't think she's the type to exploit someone else's.)

    The difference between Bill Cosby and Bryan Singer is....nothing. Well, other than skin color and politics. Here's to hoping that Bryan Singer makes it into Hannibal Buress' next comedy routine!

    I agree NYCStudent and I guess since they aren't being "drugged" but offered parts instead it's ok. It's still predatory behavior but hey that's Hollywood. From the first time I saw Tye Sheridan I knew he was guy. Those are some dsl that he got on the streets lol. Bryan Singer looks good for his age but to me he is a pedophile through and through.I can see being attracted to younger guys than yourself but to go to the "barely" legal route each time is sickening gay or straight. Just think a 40 year old dating a 20 year old when 20 years older that 20 year old was a baby. Was the 40 year old looking through the window at the hospital going I can't wait to fuck the shit out of you in 20 years. UGH. BTW NYC is that a Sailor Moon Sailor Stars avatar? LOL Brings back memories.
