Blind Items

1. While this actor currently has the starring role on a TV show, he is not just a TV star. He has had many several successful hit projects in different areas of the entertainment business, likely because every demographic group just seems to find him so darn appealing! He is probably considered a real “man’s man” to most men; he reminds women of their own husbands; and even kids like him. He’s not big or tough or mean, but he is just totally relatable as a father and a husband and friend, which attracts the widest possible audiences to his projects. It is this perception of him as a “man’s man” that will make this news especially surprising. Although he has been married and has a child/ren, our “man’s man” is either bisexual or gay. Very specifically, he bought a condo in a large city for himself and his boyfriend. The boyfriend is very cute and is quite a bit younger than the star. They were reportedly very sweet and affectionate with each other while shopping for their little love nest. The star already has one or more homes in other cities. This condo is where the boyfriend lives full-time and where the star stays whenever he is in town. 2. This Academy Award winner/nominee B list mostly movie actress ran into a co-star (A- list mostly movie actress) from a movie they were both in several years ago. Our Academy Award winner asked the actress out to dinner and she accepted. They went out and the Academy Award winner made lots of moves on the other actress which were repeatedly rebuffed. Not to be deterred though, a new car showed up at the home of the actress the next day in hopes of having her advances accepted. Still no luck, but the actress did keep the car. 3. This one is freaky and disturbing. C+ list reality star who thinks she is A list. Married. She has been filming sex tapes with two different men that will accidentally get lost and the show up and she is hoping she will get the same publicity as that other person we won't like to talk about. You know, sex tapes and an affair. Is it really an affair though if the actor husband is doing the camera holding? 4. This C- list celebrity/actress who would be a D if she was not married to her A list mostly movie actor husband complains that her husband does not let her spend enough money to do the kind of shopping she likes to do. So, she has started selling stories about her husband to the tabloids. 5. Is this young franchise actress racist or just insensitive and controlling? A small group of people was gathered for a private party. When a song by a popular black artist (now deceased) came on, the actress went on a rant. “OMG! Seriously? Seriously?! What the f*ck is this? I don’t want to listen to this disgusting ghetto music! Change it now!” The room went silent as the rest of the guests stared at her – and at each other – shocked that she would say such a thing. The song was changed, per her demand, and the actress went back to drinking and partying. She may be pretty, but she was also pretty controlling and pretty tone-deaf to the mix of people in the room.

• #2 is clearly Anne Hathaway and Anne Hathaway.

• #1. Ed O'Neill? "Although he has been married and has a child/ren"

• #1 Chris Meloni #2 Sharon Stone but I have no idea about who her costar might be.

• [quote]He has had many several successful hit projects That's a lot, right?

• For #1 - Obviously Ed O'Neill fits the married-child/ren thing (and the bi part), but given the description of the actor ("man's man," reminds women of their husbands, has success in several fields), I'd say it's more likely Tim Allen.

• No ideas on the guesses for blind items, but I have to say that what the actress in BI #5 did not even remotely racist, I would do the same thing if I didn't like the music that was on.

• It sounds like 1 is involved in several different non-acting aspects of the biz--singer, author, director?

• R6--You might not like the music, but calling it ghetto music is pretty much like calling jazz "jungle music." It's deeply ignorant, especially considering that 90% of popular music has roots in African American culture.

• R5, Tim Allen has pinged for me since [italic]Home Improvement.[/italic] Can't put my finger on why exactly, though.

• 1. is possibly Matt LeBlanc, can't be Meloni because he's straight.

• r7 - try TV actor, film actor, voiceover actor, videogame actor, standup comic, commercial spokesman (Chevy, others) ... I think it's Tim Allen.

  r5

• #1 reads like Tim Allen but Tim Allen doesn't ping to me at all.

• Tim Allen - there were rumors posted in here about him years ago.

• #1 - William Shatner

• #4- Kelly Preston and John Travolta?

• [quote]can't be Meloni because he's straight. Hahahahahaha!!!! Meloni is not straight!

• Shatner is straight and a bore, I met him through my partner who was close friends with one of his daughters. Went to their house for a few parties.

• Allen used to do a bit in his stand-up work about how he thought guys should give their buds blow jobs as a matter of routine relaxation. Sort of a get off work and unwind with a beer and a blow with your buddy kind of thing. One punch line was something like "nah, you don't have to hold me by the ears, I know what I'm doing.

• I like r15's guess for #4.

• R17 it was just a wild guess as I saw him in the grocery store over the weekend with a young cute guy. It was probably either a personal asst. or his son (I don't know anything about Shatner but have always assumed he was straight).

• #5 Jennifer Lawrence or Kristen Stewart. I'm guessing Jennifer Lawrence because she would be more of a shock to people than Stewart.

• tim allen is gay as christmas.

• #1 = Tom Selleck?

• 2. Latifah 3. Kris Jenner

• #1 is Tim Allen. He is well-known to be bi-sexual. He fits all the criteria of the BI, including kids liking him(Toy Story and Santa Clause movies).

• #5 sounds like someone from Pretty Little Liars (with the word pretty used several times). If it's indeed one of the PLL girls my guess is Troian Bellisario who seems to be a stuck up Gwyneth Paltrow wannabe. Troian was also a popular guess for another BI where a female TV actress on a Teen show acted all high allmighty at a special press event held for advertising people promoting the upcoming season of her show.

• My first thoughts when it came to #1 and #4 were Tim Allen for #1 and Preston/Travolta for #4.

• #1 = Ed O'Neill.

• #1 is not Ed O'Neill. He has had 2 hit TV shows - no other successful projects. Flop movies, the flop Dragnet series, what else? It's Tim Allen.

• Troian Bellisario comes across like SUCH a snatch. On the other hand, I can sort of see someone like her acting high and mighty; her father, with the NCIS franchises, must be coining money. TOo bad she's sort of homely (face; got a good figure). Wow, Tim Allen! Makes sense: many areas of showbiz; in addition to what R11 pointed out, also has written 1 or 2 books (Allen.) Maybe 'twas the years in prison...

• Changed my answer to Tim A.! The children's movies sealed the deal.

  r28

• Which PLL is Troian Bellisario? Please don't let it be the one that plays Aria! She's so cute. I'm betting out of all of them, she will have the biggest career post-PLL.

• r23, I thought about that, too, but he really doesn't fit the description. He has only done tv and movies, although he did do some voice-over work. I doubt it is him. I doubt he would go for some young thing Plus he does come across as a man's man.

• It's definitely Tim Allen.

  Jonathan%20Taylor%20Thomas%27s%20wrecked%20asshole

• R32, She plays Spencer. That know-it-all who has recently gone crazy over her ex boyfriend, Toby, being dead (or not).

• R32 Troian is Spencer, the one with the lawyer mother and psycho sister. I agree with you about Lucy Hale (Aria). When I was her age, I dated a girl who looked just like her. If I couldn't get it up for her, I figured I HAD to be gay. And I couldn't.

• Tim Allen fits the BI like a glove thanks to his Santa movie franchise.

• "Wild Hogs" suddenly has new meaning.

  Leather%20

• LOL @ R34.

• Could #1 be John Goodman?

• 5 is Lea Michelle

• 1. Chris Meloni

  anonymous

• 1. is not Chris Meloni, how stupid, was that a joke?

• r10/r43 - Why does your brain explode every time someone suggests Chris Meloni is bi? There are other reasons he doesn't fit this BI, so why fixate on something you can't know (unless you're him)?

• R41 might be onto something...young franchise = glee

• [quote]Hahahahahaha!!!! Meloni is not straight! Hahahahahaha!!!!Yes he is. He's an a actor and you are confusing him with his character on "OZ". I'm sure it's not the first time you've been confused.

• [quote]might be onto something...young franchise = glee How in the world is Glee a franchise? There isn't one spin off. A franchise is like the Twilight Saga or The Hunger Games.

• Oh, I thought his character was straight but only going gay while he was in prison?

• Could Kevin Bacon be the first one? He's the lead on [italiic]The Following[/italic]?

  R148

• r48 - No, he was bi on the outside too. It's been a while, but IIRC he had killed a few young men after sexing them.

• I think #4 is Eric dane and rebecca gayheart

• # 2 fascinates me. I have no ideas. Who is an Academy Award winner who is b-list right now? Marisa Tomei?

• 2. I'm thinking someone older. Jane Fonda and ? Sally Field and ? or Jessica Lange and ? The thing is I haven't a clue who to pair them with.

• Allen immediately shot to mind for R1. There was a week in 1995 where he had the number 1 movie, book and TV show.

• # 2: Diane Keaton and Rachel McAdams. Rachel just broke up with Sheen. She worked with Keaton in Morning Glory. Keaton recommended McAdams to Woody Allen for Midnight in Paris.

• Not to be a bitch here but would the OP of these Blind Item posts please put the date in the title when they post new ones? Only because there are now several "Blind Item/s" threads and when I go to search to find them I can't identify the most recent one. Maybe "Blind Items 3/7/13" or something like that. thanks!

• #1 is clearly Larry David.

• Obviously #2 involves an older female and a younger one, not only because buying a car is something an older woman would do for a younger one, but because a younger actress is more likely to be A-list than an older one.

• R8, please don't attempt analogies to support your inane complaints. You lack the intelligence and education to score points with your twaddle. It also makes you look like a ghetto wannabe, which is silly since you're obviously a suburban twat with a perm.

• #3 Could the reality star shopping the sex tape be Heidi Pratt ?

• Sorry to point out the completely obvious but, #1 isn't Chris Meloni, as he is not currently starring in a TV show.

• R46 is the Meloni isn't gay troll. He goes crazy when anyone says that Meloni is gay. Oh, and he also says that he goes to Meloni and tells him what is being said here. What a nut. Hey, R46, Meloni may not fit the BI but he is not straight, crazy fangurl. He likes the guys.

• R62 I am not a troll and why would I bother to tell him every time you post he's gay. He isn't, it's the truth. I don't understand why you keep posting that he's gay everywhere you can. Perhaps it makes you feel important or you are a narcissist.

• R62 Since you know Meloni's gay why not sell your story to one of the tabloids. I'll bet you could get $15,000 or more for it, plus you'd be able to expose him as the liar you believe him to be. Why not file a lawsuit against him so you could prove he's gay in court?

• That was my thought too r60.

• LMFAO @R63! You do realize that there is more than just one poster on DL that posts about Meloni being gay, right? You have no idea if he is or not so stop trolling on all the threads that mention him. You're the one that thinks he's important and acts like he knows Meloni. Oh, yeah, you are friends of friends of friends of his. Give it a fucking rest. You were already laughed off the Is Chris Meloni gay? thread. There is some good gossip in that thread and you went crazy. Your posts stick out like a sore thumb.

  http://www.datalounge.com/cgi-bin/iowa/ajax.html%23page:showThread%2C11029464

• R62 I was not laughed off anywhere, obviously you invent facts as you go along. I have no idea why you are so obsessed with Meloni. YOU NEVER have a fact to prove it. Here's your chance, post what you know to be true about him and how and where you got your facts. YOU WON'T because you have nothing but internet rumors to report.

• R63/R64 = crazy fangurl that forgot to take her meds!

• R62 - shat a stupid game you keep playing. ANSWER with the FACTS you have or shut-up

• R62/R63/R67, you are on a gay gossip site. Since you act like you know for a fact that he isn't gay, why don't you prove it? Here's your chance. But you can't prove anything, can you?

• Maybe he has a pic of Chris not sucking his dick, R70. Oh, wait, that would be all pics of Chris.

• So where is your PROOF, R69?

• As I have written many times, my neighbors here in Austin two doors down are very close friends with him. They were roommates in college. They - and their kids - stay with him in New York, they talk all the time. They are very close. My neighbor's name is Chris, too. I have known them for ten years. I told them about the repeated postings in here about him being gay - they told him about them. He says he isn't gay. Period. So either I am lying or they are lying or Meloni is lying.

• R73, first of all that is not proof. If that was proof then Travolta and Cruise would be straight, too. You can't have proof about someones sexuality. I was joking when I asked you for proof. I know who you are. You keep posting that tired shit everytime anyone brings up Meloni. R66, is right. You were laughed off the Is Meloni gay thread for threatening to go and tell Meloni about DL. You really need to get a grip on yourself.

• If you believe Meloni's gay, r66, then do you also believe this BI and see it as "evidence" that he's gay/bi? In which case, who do you think his secret boyfriend is and which city the condo's in? On the other thread you link to someone claims their ex-boss worked at Studio 54 alongside Meloni and Meloni hooked up with a couple of guys there, so he therefore knows for a fact that Meloni is gay. Studio 54 was open from 1977-1981, when Meloni was 16-20 and was at high school in Virginia and college in Boulder. Is it that likely he was a bartender there at those ages and when he lived elsewhere? Gossip is good when it's based on something plausible, not completely made-up stuff. R69, one could just as easily say ANSWER with the FACTS you have to those who claim they just know Meloni (or whoever) is gay/bi.

• R73 nothing I can say will satisfy you. I have your answer directly from Meloni - he is NOT GAY. Your refusal to accept this and your refusal to post any facts to support your claim proves you have nothing.

• Of course you have the answer directly from Meloni, R76. Now back away from the keyboard before you hurt yourself and run along and take your meds.

• I don't know about Meloni, I do know that fangirls will ignore any evidence.

• Why would you choose the actress with a black mother as the racist R26.

• I believe R73. My neighbors know Tom Cruise and say that they know for a FACT that he is straight. Now that he is divorced he has a different gf each night. He is straight.

• #3 Reality star is Courtney Stoddend.

• [quote]I have your answer directly from Meloni - he is NOT GAY As if Meloni or any other actor would admit being gay to anybody.

• [quote]#2 Sharon Stone but I have no idea about who her costar might be Sharon Stone and Amanda Seyfried?

• R76 Did Chris stay with your neighbors recently as he was filming in Austin? He doesn't live in NYC anymore. The thing is I really don't think Chris cares if anyone thinks he's gay. He has answered direct questions by saying that he is straight but everything he has said for years suggests that he really doesn't care what opinion anyone has of his sexuality.

• This is going to be a shocker guess, but Mark Harmon for #1? Many hits, good guy image, first wife/kids. O'Neill is disgusting. & not beloved

• Are any of these Olivia Newton-John

  The%20Olivia%20Newton-John%20Troll

• I think the #2 car buyer could be a much higher paid actress and the recipient could be a foreign actress or nyc based actress who just moved to LA (and is in need of a vehicle.)

• [quote]If you believe Meloni's gay, [R66], then do you also believe this BI and see it as "evidence" that he's gay/bi? In which case, who do you think his secret boyfriend is and which city the condo's in? I don't say the BI as evidence of Meloni being gay. He was just my first thought when I read it. I believe he is bi and would have a bf on the side. The BI doesn't mention anything about the boyfriend so I take that to mean the he isn't famous.

• Is #5 racist? Rude & ill-mannered, but not racist. Ghetto is a racist word? I grew up in a ghetto! America's Most Wanted called it the worst neighborhood in Chicago. I was so proud! Bitch this, fuck that, Ho Ho Ho

• I agree with R21. Jennifer Lawrence or Kristen Stewart for #3

• R90 I doubt either would refuse

• Oops, I meant #5

  R90

• My bet is Jennifer Lawrence for #5. It just sounds like her. She always blurts out stuff without thinking. And she talks A LOT. It's so her. Kristen Stewart.. I could see her having those opinions too, but she wouldn't blurt them out like that. She's more on the quiet side.

• I like Alec Baldwin for #1. His first child was with Kim Basinger, and he is [italic]expecting[/italic] his second child (hence the "child/ren" reference). Tons of people love him because of his 30 Rock character, and even his SNL skits. He's also been in several kid-oriented movies: Thomas & the Magic Railroad, Cats & Dogs, The Cat in the Hat, Madagascar 2, and Rise of the Guardians. He has been on film, TV, radio, Broadway, and is a well-known advocate of many causes. He has pinged for quite a long time, and he also comes across as much more sexual than Tim Allen. It's also much more believable that he's keeping some young stud somewhere. Alec was insanely hot back in the day, and he has recaptured some of that beauty after shedding quite a few pounds. I'd hit it!

• If #5 was Jennifer Lawrence wouldn't it make some reference to her Oscar win? And just who among this "small group of people" at "a private party" leaked this BI to whoever wrote it? And, this bunch of presumably wealthy and priviliged young people had the radio on? Tuned to a station that plays music by people who've been around long enough to die? If it's a small private group wouldn't they know this actress quite well and not be shocked that she says things like "ghetto"?

• Tim Allen kind of looks like a dirty old man.

• I have never seen any concrete proof that Meloni could be straight. Until there is concrete proof, he stays in the gay column.

• #2: Jodie Foster/Kristen Stewart #3: Courtney Stodden

• R97 let's add Obama to your list. No proof he's straight but lots of rumors he's gay - so GAY he is...

• Colin Farrell is gay, his long time BF lives in a Miami condo with him those videos of him fucking that woman were staged by his PR team. I have seen pictures of him with guys where you can totally tell he's gay.

• LOL! Your post made me life, R80. Thank you. And you are perfectly right, R82.

• I know Tim Allen slightly. I could be wrong, of course, as I don't know him that well, but my understanding is that Allen is not gay.

• 5 sounds like Jennifer Lawrence

• Why hasn't anyone mentioned Chris Meloni for #1 yet?

  Brian%20the%20Dog

• Oh why is it never me!

  Olivia%20Newton-John

• Hush, R104. Watch what you say or else the Meloni-isn't-gay troll will atack and then go and tell Meloni on you.

• It's John Travolta, here he is when he was HOT

  http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_cQpT7M648Ew/TSXMGKKNtfI/AAAAAAAAGuM/IvCGWfx3iQI/s320/ONJ05c.JPG

• R100 I used to love Farrell (Femme here) but since he's sworn off dating, to concentrate on his "career" (deadmandown looks like a winner) so the only people he's seen with are his sis (?) Claud or guys. Lots of guys. He's either screwing guys or his sister

• For #2: Julianne Moore and Amanda Seyfried. They did "Chloe" together in 2009. Maybe Julianne wanted a private encore.

• I don't know, r89--is calling something "so gay" homophobic? After all I'm gay and proud, so I don't see what's wrong with that.

• #5: Emma Stone (Spiderman Franchise.) "Seriously! Seriously! It's like you've been photoshopped" is what she said to Gosling in Crazy, Stupid, Love. That language is the clue to this blind item.

• Oh, my, R111. I hope it wasn't at a party with lots of her co-stars from The Help.

• Julianne is not an Oscar winner, sadly. The BI says winner/nominee first then just says "winner". Besides, I think if she offered, Seyfried would jump right down on that firecrotch. I don't know about any of the others, but I'm glad to see other DLers watch Pretty Little Liars. It is beyond ridiculous but I enjoy watching it, even though I'm way too old to be tuning in. Has there ever been a PPL thread here?

• I used to watch Pretty Little Liars, R113. I watched the first two years, then took the books (8) out of the library. Ever since, I've been so out of whack with who's supposed to know what on the show, I had to give it up. It hurt my brain.
