Blind Item #12

This A- list country singer who kind of has two names if you go back to Old Hollywood was all wired up on coke before a huge national television performance this past week.

  2. When did Blake have two names? I'd say John (Cougar) Mellencamp but he's not country.

  3. Like the Garth Brooks guess. he recorded an album as a "character", I forget the name he used.

  4. How could you EVER forget Chris Gaines? He was like Jesus, Moses, and Mohammad all wrapped up in one!

  5. Garth Brooks recorded as a "rockstar" Chis Gaines, years and years ago.

    1. God I'm getting old I remember that, he tried to be Trent Reznor. But this was who I thought of

  6. Nah he's not really working anymore as a singer. So I'll take Eddie Montgomery of Montgomery Gentry instead.

  7. Since there is no gender specified, I'm going to guess Shania Twain.

    1. I think you're right.

      Also, Old Hollywood is referring to Hal Holbrook who has been playing Mark Twain in a one-man show for over 60 years.

      And, Shania is a stage name.

  8. The only CMA Country X-Mas performer with two "first" names is Luke Brian. Just a guess.

  9. Hank Williams Jr (his dad would be old Hollywood) and his real name is Bo Cephus

  10. to be different, lauren alaina in the macy's day thanksgiving parade.

  11. hm, hank williams jr./bo cephus has the strongest link to old hollywood.

  12. Shania Twain. Worst song ever: 'Man, I Feel Like a Woman'. Horrible chorus/break and the verse groove is a straight ripoff of Aerosmith's 'Uncle Salty'.

  14. How funny... Blake Shelton performed a HW, Jr. Song with his The Voice team last week. He also known as the Sexiest Man Alive,2017. Huh!

  15. Blake, Shania and Garth would not be consider A- even on Enty's scale. Thomas Rhett is a great guess.

  16. tacy and tig lilly: you're right! rhett being a first name not heard since "gone with the wind", hence the old hollywood (wildly obscure and confusing!!!) reference.

  17. and Thomas Rhett just performed at the Dallas Cowboy halftime show on Thanksgiving

  18. I *love* the Thomas Rhett guess. It's the only one that fits the "Old Hollywood" two names hint. Though to be picky, Rhett is actually a literary name from Atlanta, not an Old Hollywood name. That feels like the type of mistake Enty would make though.

  19. It's Thomas Rhett. Nationally televised performance during halftime of the Cowboys Thanksgiving Day game. "Rhett" is as Old Hollywood as it gets. Look at his eyes during the performance, looks a little messed up.

  20. jeepers Thomas Rhett was there with his wife and their baby and adopted daughter. Not good if this is him!

  21. I hope it's not Luke Bryan or Thomas Rhett. Both are family men with young children. Bryan has had a lot of tragedy in his family and he and his wife are raising his orphaned nephew in addition to their kids. Rhett just had a baby and has a young older child that they adopted and in theory went through a lot of hoops for. His family was also with him at the game. I don't think they fit. I think the Lauren Alaina guess makes more sense. I googled her and there were a lot of mentions of bulimia for her so maybe she is doing coke now. Could be an old Hollywood name too.

  22. +1, @Useful Vidiots, that IS the worst song in the world. The hag can't sing. It's either barks or howls with her. Hence, back when that song was popular, I started calling her Old Barky.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Thank you @useful vidiots! I hate hate hate that song!!!!! And yes @BeLynda Smith, Shania can NOT sang. Give me Tammy Wynette, Anne Murray, or Faith Hill anytime. Heck, even Carrie Underwood at her worst is better than Shania at her best.

  25. Honestly, how sad. It's so tired now to hear how everyone is on drugs and doing it right before a performance. I guess they're all trained horses who are very insecure that they need to be plugged in to perform.

  26. Thomas Rhett!!!

    Two names/old hollywood … his real name is Thomas Rhett Atkins
    And his father is a famous country singer named Rhett Atkins
