Blind Item #11
This A list dancer turned B list mostly television actress had some decent roles on television. Back when she was a dancer for a permanent A++ lister he made her do some things with some people that she regretted. One of those people was a probably underage (no one knows for sure how old he was because no one is saying) A- list singer at the time. He basically quit the business after being with the A++ lister and the women the A++ lister would insist he sleep with. Later, our dancer turned actress had a falling out with the A++ lister. They didn't talk for years. One day, out of the blue they each called the other on the same day at almost the same time. Both insisted it was a sign from God and stayed in each other's lives until the A++ lister died.
Carmen Electra/Prince?
ReplyDeleteAnd guessing Tevin Campbell... who was working with him as the teen R&B wunderkind in the early 90s.
DeleteTevin Campbell's age would have been known. Funny you mention him. I told someone the other day that he admitted to being "try sexual" in a Sister 2 Sister magazine article.
Delete+1 @ both :)
DeleteI don’t think Tevin Campbell was actually the age it
Deletewas claimed he was...
Tevin Campbell was 13 or 14 when Prince produced his album. I remember when Tevin first hit the scene. Their is no way he could pass as an 18 year old.
DeleteKim Richards danced on American Bandstand for Dick Clark in the late 70s. He could hook her up with guys he put on the show.
ReplyDelete+1 Tricia
ReplyDeleteGood guess Trisha. Especially given the God reference.
ReplyDeleteThanks Unknown and good one apple_seed. I am not familiar with Tevin but sounds right👍
DeletePlay round & round, it was his only hit.
Delete@Court b - Please get your facts correct. Tevin had several hits: Can We Talk, I'm Ready, Always In My Heart, Tell Me What You Want Me To Do
DeleteHe also had a lesser known song entitled "Lil Brother" (look up the lyrics—it fits this blind item).
DeleteOn a personal and very random note: I just realised that 17 years before 2015, I would've been a minor.
I'm not proud of this, but I had no idea who Tevin was until this blind item. But apparently I've been listening to a cover of his song when I was small: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarlet_(Code_Red_album)
DeleteI liked a cover version of "Can We Talk" by a boyband called Code Red. 🚨
Not that Code Red never credited Tevin, but I'm just ignorant AF.
Tevin Campbell didn't really leave the business, I think he was incarcerated for awhile and when he got out he went back to it.

ReplyDeleteGossip today is that Quincy Jones molested Tevin Campbell.
ReplyDeleteQuincy's really going off the rails, isnt he? Time for dr appt and alzheimer evaluation. Family gots to step in. Of course that does not negate any mooesying he has done prior to this if true.
DeleteMolesting i meant
DeleteAuntliddy where is the link for this molestation? I do not see it!
DeleteLoving Quincey honesty! I'm going to be that honest old bitch someday too! 1/2 way there now, I'm over honest, just need the Grey's to get old bitch cred.
Delete+1 for quincy. i always understood he was the reason tevin went off the rails....
DeletePryor's widow confirmed he slept with Brando
ReplyDeleteTevin has had some issues. Then he came out as pansexual a few years back and I forgot all about him till now.
ReplyDeleteWell actually, I have a Christmas CD he is on. So I think of him once a year. Talented kid. Wouldn't surprise me if Q molested him as well.
Mayte?
ReplyDeleteI am going to guess someone different.
ReplyDeleteBebe Newirth and Bob Fosse.
She was an A list dancer on Broadway for many years, then was on Cheers and Frasier.
If you look at old American bandstand episodes there was young kids on the show ... my aunt went on but she says she never remembered themyoung kids but we watch a few episodes n it creeped her out
ReplyDeleteIn 1992, Tevin would have been 16 and Carmen 20. Not a huge age gap (unless Carmen's lying about her age) but 16 year old boys should be off limits.
ReplyDeleteYes, I think he “played” younger at the time... he definitely looked young for 16.
DeleteMy beautiful Carmen and Prince.
ReplyDeleteShe said he sucked in bed
Delete+1 Tricia
ReplyDelete"She wasn't too bright
But I could tell when she kissed me
She knew how to get her kicks"
God I loved Prince.... wish some things weren’t part of -lifestory/reality - but musically he was and will remain a pioneer and a force.
DeleteIf this were about Prince, wouldn't it say A++musician?

DeleteWhat is wrong with MovieBuff? Just because a 14 year old and an 18 yr old go to the school, does not make it okay for them to have sex. At that age, there is a HUGE difference in physical & emotional maturity.
ReplyDeleteThere's a reason CA has a narrow exception for minors who engage in sexual activity. It's not criminal if they're both over 16 and within 2 years of each other. I think that's a good policy.
"One day, out of the blue they each called the other on the same day at almost the same time."
ReplyDeleteCan someone please explain the logistics of this to me? If you called someone at the same time, wouldn't the line be busy? You call someone while the phone is ringing? Or do they have multiple numbers and they're trying to reach each other through their "people"? Also, if one already called the other, it would cancel out the other's intentions because it already happened?
Or was it just like, "OMG! I was just going to call you!"
well at least he delusional mouth foamers can’t say this one is Trump LOL
ReplyDeleteRound and Round was not Tevin Campbell's only hit. He had a few. Can We Talk was probably the biggest.
ReplyDelete+1 I wish people would do their research before posting.
DeleteEr . . . Prince wrote a song about Carmen cheating on him. And it is not within the realm of the gossip on him to "make" people do things with other people, notoriously jealous though he didn't mind cheating himself. Moreover, she wasn't one of his backup dancers. He tried to give her a singing career. Again, not saying that OP isn't trying to point to these people in the BI, just that it doesn't fit IRL.
ReplyDeleteIt's always the possessive/jealous ones who cheat, isn't it? 🦀🦀
DeleteNot that I know much about relationships, but I heard that's the stereotype...
Could it be Debbie Allen?
ReplyDelete@Moviebuff - Wikioedia says Tevin Campbell was born in 1976. His birthday has not arrived yet so he is 41 years old.
ReplyDeleteDebbie Allen directs and choreographs dance routines more than she acts. I will be shocked if it is her. If it is her then the guy most likely is not Prince.
