Michael Musto New Blind Items

Ditto which respected TV presence? Which family-values-loving Republican candidate (who lost)could never seem to remember the name of the babysitter he dropped his kids with so he could go on flag-waving missions—for three years in a row?.."

• Michael Musto? This ain't the 1980s. No one cares about him.

• #1: That guy on that show! #2: Whatisname, who designed whatsername's gown she wore at that awards show. And the host of that show I don't watch. #3: That congressman from the South or the Midwest with the Stepford wife and bad toupee.

• 1.Which comic film star is known to be narcissistic, insecure, needy, and demanding (though what he really should be demanding is a dietitian and a trainer)? 2. Which top designer is a bottom?

Which family-values-loving Republican candidate (who lost) could never seem to remember the name of the babysitter he dropped his kids with so he could go on flag-waving missions—for three years in a row? 4. Which auteur obviously writes what she knows? (Her eyes were rolling like pinballs at a press event, where "coke" was every third word out of her mouth. She really buzzes.) 5. Which reality star was in a jealous rage when a much bigger reality star got all the attention in the same store on Fashion's Night Out? 6.

Which rock wife is prone to dramatic utterances of "Don't you know who I am?" when department-store workers don't snap to the attention she'd like? 8. Which other rock wife gets so excited when shopping that she strips down to practically nothing in full view of other customers, in order to try things on more quickly? (The result is a sort of horrified bemusement.) 9. Which documentarian is following a designer around with a camera, mainly so he can use the footage to force the designer back into rehab? 10.

Which Broadway star infuriated her director after she begged him to bring in a former co-star as a consultant because he's the one who basically coached her to glory last time around? (The star and director ended up not speaking to each other, and some feel the result shows.) 19. Which Oscar winner tried to take her kids backstage to meet the stars of a show they'd just seen, but was completely unrecognized by security, who told her she could just wait by the stage door like everyone else?

• 15. Which acclaimed actress whom everyone's wondering about is supposedly bumping it with the female producer of one of her big films? Jessica Chastain and Megan Ellison?

• #1 is Jonah Hill, obviously.

• Which respected TV presence is a bottom? Is he fucking serious?

• number two could be a lot if designers but Calvin Klein fits and the journalist is probably Anderson Cooper.

• "What pathetic poster has already neglected to cut and paste the blind item before offering a guess?" (R12)

  Every%20damn%20year

• Obviously #4 is Lena Dunham. I'd like to know which rock star wives actually shop in DEPARTMENT STORES? Their husbands must not be very successful, otherwise they would be clothes shopping in boutiques.

• [quote] 13. Which onetime heartthrob has managed to keep his sexuality a well-guarded secret for five decades? Bobby Sherman

• I guess 27 is Jeff Conaway.i can't quote the blind item because my iPad won't let me.

• Bobby Sherman!!!! Oh, thank god all of that masturbation was not in vain!

  Eldergay

• [quote]I guess 27 is Jeff Conaway.i can't quote the blind item because my iPad won't let me. You're wrong, you just don't know how to do it. Just touch on the sentence, and it will copy it for you.

• [quote]Which then-sitcom star and his Latino boyfriend got coked up and trashed their hotel room, leading to the cancellation of the play the sitcom star was appearing in? (Hint: Decades later, he died, still in the closet.) Robert Reed, The Brady Bunch dad.

• "24. Which long-running actress that everyone assumes is blissfully married has actually bedded virtually every male co-star in creation, as her hubby simply bites his tongue and chalks it up to research? " Queen Cuntabag herself,Gwennie Paltrow! 21. Which quirky TV actress privately tells people she thought the direction of Lincoln was terrible? Zooey Deschanel would be right. She played Mary Lincoln in a shitty comedy skit and thinks she's a Lincoln expert.

• "I'd like to know which rock star wives actually shop in DEPARTMENT STORES? Their husbands must not be very successful, otherwise they would be clothes shopping in boutiques. " Go to Bloomingdales and see how many unsuccessful people you see at the registers.

• [quote] Just touch on the sentence, and it will copy it for you. Wrong. My iPad only allows me to copy ONCE from a page. Since I copied the Bobby Sherman BI, my iPad would not allow me to quote again from the same page.

• You don't need to quote more than once, R24.

  Dead%20Steve%20Jobs

• I used to shop at Bloomingdales all the time when I lived in NYC. I'm middle class. Really wealthy people don't go into department stores and shop for clothing in the aisles. They shop at boutiques or they have personal shoppers pick things out for them at department stores.

• Bobby Sherman used to hang out in front of Sal Mineo's place with his guitar, wearing a little bathing suit, until Mineo invited him in one day. Bobby bottomed for Sal and Sal's girlfriend at the time walked in on them and reported it in her book. Sal came through and gave Bobby the big Hollywood buildup, but eventually Bobby confided he wanted out, that, basically, he was only interested in letting Sal fuck him until he got on TV. He didn't feel being gay was his true nature. That's when Don Johnson came along and ended up letting Sal rape him every night on stage in Fortune and Men's Eyes

• Isn't number 13, the one time heartthrob Tom Selleck?

• Surely the Voice will fire him soon? He's past it.

• #1 has to be Artie Lange

• [quote] Which comic film star is known to be narcissistic, insecure, needy, and demanding All of them

• I love how people speak for really wealthy people. Really wealthy people do whatever they want. I work at Bloomies and have helped any number of celebrities you people would consider really wealthy, including the billionaire herself, Oprah. Anyway, is it me or does it seem that Marc Jacobs could be the answer to a handful of these BIs? Bottom Designer? Designer for French brand that fucked married hip hop star? Being followed by camera to get back into rehab?

• "Which comic film star is known to be narcissistic, insecure, needy, and demanding (though what he really should be demanding is a dietitian and a trainer)?" Kevin James "Which long-running actress that everyone assumes is blissfully married has actually bedded virtually every male co-star in creation, as her hubby simply bites his tongue and chalks it up to research?" Julia Roberts

• R33, Julia Roberts got married during the wane of her career. The BI sounds like the husband has been around for numerous co-star beddings.

• "Which then-sitcom star and his Latino boyfriend got coked up and trashed their hotel room, leading to the cancellation of the play the sitcom star was appearing in? (Hint: Decades later, he died, still in the closet.)" Paul Lynde

• [quote]21. Which quirky TV actress privately tells people she thought the direction of Lincoln was terrible? This is only interesting if Musto is fudging the BI a bit and the answer is Sally Field. [quote]Which higher-up at a gay media outlet writes under a pseudonym for a certain website that used to attack that outlet so thoroughly it was banned from being viewed? This seems like it should have an obvious answer (the outlets, if not the higher-up).

• Nobody except their ad people have called Bloomingdale's "Bloomies" since the 90s.

• and at least their employees R37, which I stated I was one in r32.

• They're ALL bottoms in TV!

• Which family-values-loving Republican candidate (who lost)could never seem to remember the name of the babysitter he dropped his kids with so he could go on flag-waving missions—for three years in a row?.." Rick Santorum

• 1.Which comic film star is known to be narcissistic, insecure, needy, and demanding (though what he really should be demanding is a dietitian and a trainer)? 2. Which top designer is a bottom? Ditto which respected TV presence? Seth Rogan 23. What pudgy daytime TV star routinely dodges her ex-stylist's calls since she still owes him thousands of dollars? Whoopi Goldberg 28. Which actor, best known for a big '80s sitcom, used to hire a dominatrix to lock him up for the weekend and routinely tinkle on him? Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor? I can't think of his name or the sitcom.

  Della

• Tim Allen and "Home Improvement", r41 - but that was a 90s sitcom, not an 80s sitcom.

• [quote]28. Which actor, best known for a big '80s sitcom, used to hire a dominatrix to lock him up for the weekend and routinely tinkle on him?

  http://ginaroberts-grey.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Alan-Thicke-Cover.jpg

• Oh. Thanks, r42. Then I'm going with Bill Cosby.

  Della

• The wife of the rocker who demands, "Do you know who I am?", is the wife of STING. You can google her problem.

• Seth Rogan is a top designer?

• "Which comic film star is known to be narcissistic, insecure, needy, and demanding (though what he really should be demanding is a dietician and a trainer)? Jason Segal. Seth Rogan and Jonah Hill have both dropped a lot of weight.

• [quote]28. Which actor, best known for a big '80s sitcom, used to hire a dominatrix to lock him up for the weekend and routinely tinkle on him? R43, someone told me that the "Growing Pains" dad is a top and a fairly mild one at that. What about Drew Carey? Sounds like it's in his wheelhouse.

• [quote]What about Drew Carey? The Drew Carey Show ran from 1995 to 2004. That's not "a big '80s sitcom."

• Whoopie Goldberg had a stylist?

• Seth Rogan dropped a lot of weight for Green Hornet, but he put a lot of it back on. I think it's him. He made some comment in an interview about how they sent Barbra his reel so she could decide about doing the show, and they sent him "her reel" so he could also decide. Please.

• Re: Sitcom star and Latino BF. Could it be the late Sherman Hemsley?

• [quote]8. Which other rock wife gets so excited when shopping that she strips down to practically nothing in full view of other customers, in order to try things on more quickly? (The result is a sort of horrified bemusement.) I hope this isn't Yoko Ono. That would not be pretty.

• Jonah Hill gained it all back, (and more), R47.

• "Re: Sitcom star and Latino BF. Could it be the late Sherman Hemsley?" Good guess! Years ago one of the tabloids did a story about him seeing a much younger Latino guy

• [quote]Whoopie Goldberg had a stylist? I don't think it's Whoopi either. I would guess that it's Sherri Shepard who is the chubby gal who owes her stylist tons of money.

• 15. Which acclaimed actress whom everyone's wondering about is supposedly bumping it with the female producer of one of her big films? Jodie Foster, of course.

• No one is "wondering" about Jodie Foster - everyone has always known. Alan Thicke still makes more sense to me for the 80s sitcom actor. (Those well-known tops sometimes have a surprising interest in being dominated once in a while.)

• At what point does Musto swish in to post the correct answers under a "let's see, so far we have..." recap post?

  a stitch in time

• 24. Which long-running actress that everyone assumes is blissfully married has actually bedded virtually every male co-star in creation, as her hubby simply bites his tongue and chalks it up to research? Streep. I did not believe this for years but now it makes sense. Jessica Chastain with Megan Ellison is a really good guess. Everyone is trying to figure out Jessica Chastain.

• 8. Which other rock wife gets so excited when shopping that she strips down to practically nothing in full view of other customers, in order to try things on more quickly? (The result is a sort of horrified bemusement.) Goop?

• 11. Which TV hunk supposedly never met a casting director he didn't lick, er, like? Matt Bomer or Colton Haynes?

• Or Chace Crawford.

• 8. Which other rock wife gets so excited when shopping that she strips down to practically nothing in full view of other customers, in order to try things on more quickly? (The result is a sort of horrified bemusement.) Sharon Osbourne

• 14. Which actress playing a controversial character is apparently not happy having to enact the role of someone she despises? Jane Fonda as Nancy Reagan?

• 15 is Chastain. The rumours have been going on for a while now. She also tends to use gender-neutral pronouns in interviews.

• say, do you folks think john amos ejaculated every day?

• 19. Which Oscar winner tried to take her kids backstage to meet the stars of a show they'd just seen, but was completely unrecognized by security, who told her she could just wait by the stage door like everyone else? (She huffed and replied, "Well, it's just that I'm an actor, too" before actually announcing her name in hopes of gaining quicker entrée. Yes, she went there. Still, no dice.) Mira Sorvino.

• "7. Which rock wife is prone to dramatic utterances of "Don't you know who I am?" when department-store workers don't snap to the attention she'd like?" Slash's wife Perla. He's tried to divorce her several times, she's a former hooker & was 17 when she got knocked up by him - he was still married to a gorgeous woman then. Perla is a Latina psychopath. She is always posting fugly tacky expensive shit she buys on her twitter account.

• "14. Which actress playing a controversial character is apparently not happy having to enact the role of someone she despises? Jane Fonda as Nancy Reagan?" Good guess

• Jessica Chastain canceled on Andy Cohen the other night. Isn't there another rumor she's pregnant?

• r14, where in item #2 does it say anything about a journalist?

  does%20EVERYTHING%20have%20to%20be%20about%20Anderson%20Cooper%3F%21

• 20. Which movie star who was recently on Broadway is such a challenging diva that when an assistant of hers quit after 10 days, she got a call from another former assistant saying "Congratulations!"? I'd guess Debra Winger.

• [quote]11. Which TV hunk supposedly never met a casting director he didn't lick, er, like? Joe Manganiello who is rumored to be bisexual.

• "14. Which actress playing a controversial character is apparently not happy having to enact the role of someone she despises?" Ellen Barkin

• Is any of these Olivia Newton-John?

• [quote]Which higher-up at a gay media outlet writes under a pseudonym for a certain website that used to attack that outlet so thoroughly it was banned from being viewed? They're talking about us!

R27, I read the book, too, and I'm not normally this naive, but, logically, I never understood how a 19-year-old kid from the Valley would think of doing this (trolling outside someone's beach house to get noticed). I wonder if Jill Haworth's story is really the true version. If so, I guess this means that BS is not the answer to that blind item, because it gives the lie to the idea that he's gay and has been hiding it for 50 years. Still, the time frame does work....

• 17. Streisand.

• These are the lamest BIs ever. The answer to pretty much every single question is "All of them". Seriously: which comic is narcissistic, insecure, needy, and demanding? Which onetime heartthrob has managed to keep his sexuality a well-guarded secret for five decades? Which long-running actress that everyone assumes is blissfully married has actually bedded virtually every male co-star in creation? Bitches, please.
