Today's Blind Items - The Door
He doesn't go there as much as he did in the past. He still owns it through one of his companies, but the building in downtown is primarily inhabited just by squatters and drug users who have no idea that the owner is also one of them and was a frequent guest. The building is an old office building. Five stories. In one of the corners of the third floor is a locked door. Steel. No one is getting in there except for the owner. It is his personal sanctuary when he is there shooting up with the regulars. It is a place he can escape and enjoy his high without fear of something happening to him. That fear is real. Prior to buying the building, our actor would be with the masses and was repeatedly robbed or beaten up while wasted. He bought the building because he envisioned it as a place where users could go and feel safe. For a long time he even had a security guard there to make sure people could do their thing without being bothered. Our actor is a former A+ lister although he has not been that high in decades. Technically he is probably no higher than C list on the acting side of things, but I promise that every single one of you knows who he is. His new girlfriend is really trying to stay close to him and act as a sober coach. Since she has been in his life, the trips to the building are a once every other month thing. There is no longer a security guard and the place has turned into a dump. Our actor, once known for paying for everyone's fix multiple times a day is a forgotten figure with people being replaced by other people and so on. The one thing that remains though is that door. Impenetrable to the most concerted efforts. It is waiting there for the actor to return, although his actress girlfriend hopes he never does.

ReplyDeleteRyan O'Neal?
ReplyDeleteThat was my guess.
DeleteBrendan Fraser?
ReplyDeleteJudd Nelson?
ReplyDeleteMcCualey Culkin?
ReplyDeleteYup. Brenda Song & MC
DeleteCaulkin's new GF Brenda Song
ReplyDeleteMaybe Leif Garrett since it doesn't necessarily have to be a movie actor.
ReplyDeleteYes! Great guess w McCualey Culkin

ReplyDeleteThe staff at the Duane Reed pharmacy in Manhattan confirmed that Culkin comes in "fairly regularly", but declined to comment further.
However, the magazine's account of Culkin’s alleged addictions is extremely detailed. It claims he is spending $6000 a month on drugs, a habit which has grown since he was dumped by his girlfriend of eight years, actress Mila Kunis, at the end of 2010.
The magazine contends that Culkin is "hopelessly hooked" and quotes sources who say they have seen him use a mixture of drugs. They say he regularly shoots up heroin and the painkiller oxycodone - a semi-synthetic opiate sometimes used by cancer patients.
He invites friends for poker parties, which turn into drugs binges with a "close circle of whacked-out pals".
A supposed insider told the magazine: "He's been hooked for a year and a half ... Mac is surrounding himself with junkies and lowlifes."
Why am I thinking David Spade?
ReplyDeleteHey Alf - that's fair but also article is from 2012.
ReplyDeleteWe can all see he's doing much better now. Macaulay is an excellent choice because Michael Jackson bought places for similar reasons.
That's not maybe as meaningful to some as others but there it is.
Just wanted to say I think this blind is well-written. Kudos to whichever Entern wrote this.
ReplyDelete@Sagan - Not Spade.
ReplyDeleteHe looks like he's hanging in there, here he is on a Red Letter Media video from a few days ago talking about the movie The Warriors (he's done a few of these film re:views recently). He seems a bit battle worn, but functional and fun.
ReplyDeleteCan you dig it?

Brenda Song dates the best guys.
ReplyDeleteKudos for Kindness.
ReplyDeleteHaving had to deal with thieving methheads breaking into properties and storage I really want to know the specs on that door. The downside of a good door though is, from my experience, that they would just hammer through the wall if they could not get through the door.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the building is in LA or NYC I would think if it is that far gone it would be condemned as a health hazard.
ReplyDeleteAgree with .robert any good thief knows if you can't get through the door go through the walls.
@timebob
ReplyDeleteHave you been to DTLA lately?
Most of it is a health hazard.
@J Mac Culkin >>>>>>>>Trace Cyrus, so at least she's moving in the right direction. I root for him, I really do.
ReplyDeleteyea this sounds like Culkin & Brenda Strong
ReplyDeleteI really like them as a couple
Jeeez, Louise, this is depressing after the joy of thinking about great concerts. Sadly, I'll agree with Culkin. On the bright side, it does say that the visits are less frequent, and the girlfriend is trying to act as sober coach (bad position to be in, but better than enabler).
ReplyDeleteDont go back to the Door! I hope he can sell the building and end that chapter of his life.
.Robert-- I m sorry for your troubles, but asking for the door specs was funny!😁
I've always liked Brenda Song from back in her Disney days. I hope he stays clean for him and for her.
ReplyDelete@Vita, I’m still not sure if this blind refers to MC, but I’m really hoping for his sobriety. He’s Paris J’s godfather, and it would be great if she had one sober person in her life. Apparently she is close to him from what I know and have seen.
ReplyDelete+1 robert.
ReplyDeleteMacaulay has looked so much healthier since he has been with Song.
ReplyDeleteJohnny Depp owns a building in DTLA.
ReplyDeleteWhoever it is, one day he will die from overdose behind that door. Good riddance! I have zero tolerance and sympathy for junkies.
