Blind Items Revealed #4
May 4, 2018
I haven't thought about this in a long time and then someone reminded me of it. See, if you remember it or if you can figure it out. Back in the day this actor was an A list tween on a hit network show. Later, he became an A- list television actor who progressed into made for tv movie acting. Anyway, back when he was still a tween on that show of his, he hooked up with this permanent A list singer, who at the time no one had heard of. It is crazy if you think about them hooking up.

Holy shit.
ReplyDeleteSara nailed this one.
ReplyDeleteHaha yeah. Only because I had been discussing Sliver Spoons with a friend a few days prior (that's how big of an 80s geek I am), and this specific episode came up. So it was in my head.
DeleteI had no idea they had actually hooked up though, until somebody shared the Andy Cohen video in the comments.
Now we know why he always had that sh!t-eating grin ;)
ReplyDeleteGood for both of them
ReplyDeleteThat is just weird....
ReplyDeleteWhen he was 12 she was 20.
ReplyDeleteRicky said in an interview that he was 15 and thought she was 18. But she would have actually been like 22.
DeleteHe also said they kissed, so "hooked up" could be an embellishment by Enty.
How is this a "blind" if Ricky spoke about it openly. Blind gossip my ass. It's just gossip.

ReplyDeleteI loved that show as a child. Wow.
ReplyDeleteLil Ricky Schroeder, ehh. Old Rick Schroeder, YES.
ReplyDeleteJust my opinion.
Yes. But then he went all evangelical, so no thanks.
DeleteShe did a guest spot on Silver Spoons while trying to transition from modeling to music.
ReplyDeleteSo a 20+ year old woman ‘hooking up’ with a tween boy? I think the comments would be very different on here if it was a tween girl and an adult male. I consider tween to be 10-12 and hooking up as sex...hope this really has been embellished by Enty.
ReplyDeleteIf you consider the power dynamic between a tween actress and an adult male to be equal to the power dynamic of a tween actor and a 22 year old model/singer equal...
ReplyDeleteThis is random as hell
ReplyDelete@Eve Esquire Maybe it’s just me, but both of those dynamics are wrong imo.
ReplyDeleteI know for sure that when I was a 20+ year old woman the thought of having sex with a 10-12 year old boy would’ve repulsed me. Call me old fashioned but adults having sex with children is never ok to me!
ReplyDelete+ a gazillion
Delete@Eve, it's irrelevant whether the "power dynamic" is equal to the reverse case. An adult is an adult, including an adult woman, unless you want to argue that women aren't responsible for their actions.
ReplyDeleteAdults having sex with kids is wrong - "power dynamic" my ass.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Sal T - if this were a man with a girl that age, there'd be no question how wrong it is.
Had a pal who did background on Silver Spoons. The Ricker was in a constant hunt for poontang. His line was "Wanting to lose his virginity" to the older girls who looked young enough to play school age. Word is he was relentless. Got turned down a lot. Kinda silly.
ReplyDelete@ Large Marge, That was my line too at that age. Only thing was it was true, but I was acting like it wasn't. Such bullshit and it NEVER worked.
ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for any woman who has sex with a teenage boy. Talk about "Gone in 60 Seconds". If it lasts 30 seconds it's a record.
I was watching the classic battle of he network stars, He was all over Heather Thomas, when she pushed him away, he went for Heather Locklear, I think they said he was 8, but that can't be right
ReplyDeleteName the teen who did a porn.
ReplyDeleteBefore Whitney met Bobby she was pure vanilla.
ReplyDeleteI don't think she was pure vanilla, I think she was always pretty street but with her light skin and beauty her managers passed her off as vanilla
ReplyDeleteI don't know if Whitney was Vanilla., bit she was definitely sucking on some!
ReplyDeleteSara, Making It Work: thank you for clarifying what he said even though no one else seems to want it cleared up. So, he was 15 and said they kissed, not that they had sex.
ReplyDeleteI understand what all of you are saying, if all things were equal. Fact is, at that time, Ricky would have had more power in this situation at 15 on a hit show than a 22 year old Whitney who was just beginning to record. So, all things are not considered equal.
