Today's Blind Items - The Backpage King

Backpage doesn't exist any longer which must make things tough for this foreign born B+ list actor who is an Emmy nominee/winner and a Grammy winner/nominee. He once starred in a very hit show that is set to have a reboot. One person who is not thrilled with the reboot is his wife. She knows about the strip clubs and that particular stripper he has a fondness for. When that stripper is not working he doesn't have any problems with a replacement though. Things are so bad that when he tours, his wife goes or else she thinks he won't ever come back home. She is convinced he will just run off with whatever stripper catches his fancy in some town.

The strippers are one thing, but lately he has set his eyes on a co-star from a television show in which he stars. Apparently the co-star landed a movie so our actor called in every favor he could to land a part in the movie as her lover. He couldn't stand the thought of her having a sex scene with someone other than him.

This one has the wife super worried. The strippers are one thing, but the young beautiful actress she really thinks is someone the husband would dump her for.

  4. Boreanez is American born and does he have a grammy nom?

    ReplyDelete
  5. Jessica Pare for his co-star he's chasing?

    ReplyDelete
  6. I don't think Boreanaz has a Grammy nom. Just saying.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Just checked imdb- no grammy nod or nom.

  8. Missed that part went to the reboot.

  9. They just announced a Frasier reboot, but I can't think of any male from Frasier who would be foreign born, and a B+

    1. My first thought was Kelsey Grammer because of that reboot. He was born in the Virgin Islands and he loves strippers.

  10. The horrible thing is how she is prevented somehow from divorcing him and getting on with her life.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I'm just going to throw out the name Anthony Stewart head

    ReplyDelete
  12. I looked he doesn't fit the awards part, I can't find any reboots with anyone who fits all 3 criteria or 4 looking at wife.

    ReplyDelete
  13. This is a touring musician... hmmm...

    ReplyDelete
  14. Tony Head doesn't have any Emmy or Grammy nominations.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I'm just curious as to what people are doing now that Backpage and CL personals are gone.

    ReplyDelete
  16. The reboot sounds like the perfect way to sh!t all over the Buffy legacy, good luck with all that.

    ReplyDelete
  17. @Liz, somehow I'm not thinking "changing their ways" ;)

    ReplyDelete
  18. Is LL Cool J married?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Julian McMahon from Charmed? Or is he not a musician?

    ReplyDelete
  20. A touring musician who currently stars in a show and once starred in a big hit show that's being reboot?

    ReplyDelete
  21. Julian McMahon/Virginia Gardner-Runaways is show and Monster party the film

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Not sure he was nommed for Grammy though?

      Delete
  22. McMahon - no Grammy. Donald Glover/Childish Gambino has Emmy/Grammy noms, but not foreign born, nor any reboot.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Think LL Cool J guess may be right as read there wS a SWAT every reboot in the works as of last year. He fits and is married

    ReplyDelete
  24. LL was born on Long Island so not foreign born

  26. I'm thinking that this may not be a musician, but rather a comic actor who also tours as a comedian. Haven't landed on one yet, but just throwing it out there.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I want to make Rick Springfield work. Reboot?

    ReplyDelete
  28. Jemaine Clement?? Flight of the Conchords. Now on Legion. Aubrey plaza for the costar

    ReplyDelete
  29. Flight of the Concords is rebooting, isn't it?

    ReplyDelete
  30. @MDAnderson please, no! Not him! I'll believe anything about any celeb, but I want him and Brett to stay pure.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Seriously, Sandybrook, I'd love the name of your plastic surgeon. I think you look fabulous. 40 years younger, at least.

  34. is Nip/Tuck getting a reboot?

    ReplyDelete
  35. @MDAnderson for the win
    Jemaine Clement
    Foreign born
    Hit series being rebooted: Flight of the Conchords
    FOC touring currently (concert special just announced for HBO)
    7-time Emmy nominee
    Grammy-award winner
    Series currently filming: What We Do in the Shadows

    ReplyDelete
  36. @MDAnderson

    I think it's Bret McKenzie. Backpage King could be a play on Boom King which is what he calls himself.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Jemaine and Aubrey were in an movie earlier this year https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6518270/

    But I really hope it's not him

    ReplyDelete

    1. Since I have no personal horse in this race, I do hope it's him. They would be my favourite celebrity couple ever.

      Delete
  38. Grammar was my first thought too but the awards didn't fit plus I consider him higher than B

    ReplyDelete
  39. Jackie van Beek the actress, new movie that Jemaine and she are in is Breaker Upperers. Good work, MDAnderson!

    ReplyDelete
  40. @gadfly, JVB is 42, compared to Jemaine's 44, not totally "younger" actress

    ReplyDelete
  41. The Clement guess does meet a lot of the criteria, but I just can't see anyone calling FOC a "very hit show".

    ReplyDelete
  42. Ah bonehead me missed FOREIGN BORN. Was on my cell phone in line at the DMV ugh.

    ReplyDelete
  43. FOTC had high ratings. I don't think the woman is Jackie van Beek. Funny lady but not exactly young or beautiful.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Natasia Demetriou stars with Clement in both the series What We Do in the Shadows and a film in production, The Festival...

    ReplyDelete
  45. In no way was FOC a very hit show.

    However, Jemaine fits in every other way, with Aubrey as the TV/ movie costar.

    Disappointing that he's such a cheater.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Jemaine Clement ticks all of the boxes -- hit tv show that's rebooting, he "tours", has grammies, was in a recent tv show, and has an upcoming movie, "The Festival". The only show collaboration I can find between Jemaine and one of the actresses in "The Festival" is an episode of "Inside Amy Schumer" called "Psychopath Test". Claudia O'Doherty was a writer on that.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Although.
    Flight of the Concords might have been a huge hit down under. So, sure. It's gotta be him.

    ReplyDelete
  48. If you loved it, "Flight of the Conchords" was huge. I have one of their songs on my phone, "Tears of a Rapper" (aka "Hurt Feelings). THE BEST!

  49. "What We Do In The Shadows" was alright. I mean in an, "it's 1am, I'm stoned and nothing else is on" kinda way.

    ReplyDelete
  50. Oops, good catch, autohitter. So there we go.

    ReplyDelete
  51. @just sayin' the day after my birthday is not my birthday, mum.

    ReplyDelete
  52. FOC is one of the most iconic shows of the naughties, it really defines the era. Maybe you have to be of a certain generation, but this was THE show of the time.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Why is everyone so sure it's not Bret? It could just as easily be the Boom King.

    ReplyDelete
  54. +1 sharper teeth! And have you ever been told that you look like a llama, lol, which Jemaine sort of does.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Steven Van Zandt?

    ReplyDelete
  56. It's not Bret, because he doesn't have a current TV series or any recent movies, let alone starring the same actress.
    But it still is likely a reference to the duo.

    ReplyDelete
  57. @gauloise All of that may be true, but that doesn't make it a hit. And certainly not a "very hit". While this blind may very well be about Jemaine Clement, here's some data regarding the historical ratings of FOTC.

    The viewership for HBOs original series in 2009 shows FOTC in dead last.

    "True Blood" (5.003 million)
    "Hung" (3.617 million)
    "Entourage"(3.460 million)
    "Big Love" (2.320 million)
    "Curb Your Enthusiasm" (1.518 million)
    "The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency" (1.268 million)
    "Bored to Death" (0.948 million)
    "Eastbound & Down" (0.925 million)
    "Flight of the Conchords" (0.847 million)

    Of 64 cable series tracked in the linked article, FOTC finished 60th.

  58. Every clue fits Jemaine Clement, aside from the subjective descriptor of "huge". I'm gonna guess it's because Enty's a huge fan of the show, which reaffirms my impression that he's got great taste.

    ReplyDelete
  59. It’s definitely a cult hit

    ReplyDelete
  60. If it's Jemaine, I'm brokenhearted.
