Blind Item: Sexual Assault and A+ Lister

James Franco. Don't know who the woman is however.

Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas, Basic Instinct 2?

Never mind- that movie did not do well

Sharon Stone is hardly A+ list. Hasn’t been for years.

Debra Winger and Richard Gere?

Julia Roberts and James Franco?

Sorry I'm R1, my 1) should have fabulously bitchy with a side of snarky 2) I missed the name Julia Roberts & I'm going to have to say Nick Nolte? "I love trouble"....never saw it so don't know if there's a love scene.

R6 should have ***been. Ugh I don't deserve to be amongst the gay people of DL.

Roberts worked again with Gere and I have a hard time imagining him treating her like a piece of meat. Her vagina is large

Agree Sharon is not A+ lister

There are very few women who can demand an extra $10m

Charlize and Tom Hardy? I got nothing here

The only current A+ list actresses (arguably) are

Lawrence, Streep, Jolie, Bullock, Roberts

Sounds like Julia Roberts and Nick Nolte except I Love Trouble wasn't a huge hit that's still making money.

Barbra Streisand and Seth Rogan?

Is there a reason you didn't link to CDAN, OP?

Hugh Grant? John Cusack? Ed Harris? Dominic West?

She slept with most of her costars so it's tough to know who she would consider harassing her?

I don’t even know of that many actresses that are open about loathing a former costar. All I can think of is:

Kim Basinger and Mickey Rourke

Sharon Stone and Billy Baldwin

Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn. Though I’m not sure how open Reese has been about that.

Angelina and Johnny Depp? Maybe that movie did not do so well

Dermot Mulroney? Not A list though....

I can’t imagine Reese doing love scenes with Vince Vaughn - wasn’t that a Christmas comedy?

We know Streep hates Hoffman, but that isn’t it

This one is vexing

You believe a studio just blithely parted with 10 million dollars in incidentals to a sexually harassed actress? Really?

My first (and only) thought was Brie Larson and Casey Affleck due to the former's undisguised contempt for the latter at the Oscars and afterwards. However, I do not believe that they did a movie together, and the other clues do not fit.

I only can see this happening if the actress was huge, or they knew it would rank their movie if she quit so it was big budget etc

Cheryl and Cristy Lane?

Cheryl and Cristy Lane????

I could see Mickey Rourke. He beat carry Otis.

Julia and James Franco

Kristen Stewart and Rob whatshisname. If he went over the line with a lesbian it might have been worth it to the producers to pay that much to save the franchise.

Here's a list of people who are NOT currently A+ actresses:

Sharon Stone

Debra Winger

Charlize Theron

Kim Basinger

Barbra Streisand

Kristen Stewart

Here's a list of people who are NOT currently A list actors:

Michael Douglas

Nick Nolte

Hugh Grant

John Cusack

Ed Harris

Dominic West

Mickey Rourke

Vince Vaughn

Billy Baldwin

Here's a list of movies that did NOT "do very well":

I Love Trouble

Sliver

Basic Instinct 2

The Guilt Trip

Girls, girls! OP gave you a clue in the signature box!

"Julia Roberts Annnnnnnnd . . .?

Well this is tough, the blind alludes that both the actor and actress are still currently A-list, but the movie is "several years" old but still doing well. It also alludes that it is public knowledge that the actress hates the actor, that might be the best route to go in trying to figure this out...

Roberts has never even shown her tits in a movie, much less been in a film with multiple sex scenes graphic enough to make the idea of having real sex a possibility.

Freida Pinto and James Franco

Planet of the Apes.

It's not Julia. The only actor she's ever been cast against as her love interest in a film that made money who could possibly be mentioned as A list even once upon a time was Richard Gere, and they never did a sex scene together.

The actress has me stumped, so let's work it from the other side-- A List actor crazy enough to want to have real sex with an actress on the set.

Mickey Rourke

Sylvester Stallone

Michael Douglas

Johnny Depp

Mark Wahlberg

OK, R27, so what's your guess?

Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant have a very mild sex scene in "Notting Hill." I don't think it's them, though.

The "mostly movie" descriptors throw me. Makes me think it's Nicole Kidman or Reese Witherspoon, since they were just on "Big Little Lies" but are mostly known as movie actresses.

Micky Rourke was A list??? When was that?

It's CDAN, so it's bullshit or at the very least grossly exaggerated. But, to play along, the closest fit would be Roberts and Franco in Eat, Pray, Love. Did they have anything close to a sex scene in that movie?

No other actress would get an extra $10 million, among other "demands."

Why does Meryl Street hate Hoffman?

WHat about Angelina? Could she demand an extra 10 million?

Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal

R38 for what movie? She's got way more flops than hits. And what costar does she openly hate?

Uma Thurman and...?

Who's giving Uma Thurman an "extra" $10 million?

oh please. it's probably a typo. it's probably 1 million.

Charlize and Johnny Depp in that alien astronaut movie

Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling

R44, the movie that did so well you can't remember the name?

R45, Rachel McAdams is A+ list? She had enough clout while filming The Notebook to demand an extra $10 million, among other demands?

Julia Roberts and Abe Vigoda.

Jack Nicolson and Shirley Maclain

Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise?

Shirley doesn't hate Jack and they worked together again in the sequel.

Who are considered A+ actresses these days?

R45, they actually ended up dating after the movie. Their tensions on set it seems were just UST.

Nichole Kidman and Sean Penn - The Interpreter?

The Interpreter "did very well and continues to do well many years after its release"?

Barbra Streisand and Nick Notle in "The Prince of Tides" - she complained that he had a hard on during their love scenes and tried to get her to do the nasty on camera - she also stated that she'd called "CUT!!" several times when he went too far with her. Nick, you horny star-fucker!

She doesn't hate him though. He actually claimed they had an affair and she's never denied it (or confirmed it). Plus no one would describe POT as a film that continues to do well.

Walter Brennan and Shirley Temple

I don't know if it is true, but the BI is referring to Sharon Stone and Michael Douglas.

And before you start on me for thinking that they are A List, please remember this: over a year ago when the Charlie Sheen is HIV+, everyone but a handful here went crazy saying that CS s nowhere near A list. And yet, of course in the end it was he.

Michael Douglas would be considered A list emeritus and SS by virtue of the fact that she was nominated for an Oscar is an A as well.

I am not saying that I agree, but that is who he is talking about.

Alec Baldwin or Kevin Costner for the male but no guess on the female.

It seems there are two many disagreements on who is A and who isn't. What's the point in this list if it's too subjective.

I can't make anything interesting fit the clues. I suspect they're talking about something boring like Fifty Shades of Grey.

It's Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart.

[quote]I have a hard time imagining him treating her like a piece of meat. Her vagina is large

A large vagina cannot be considered a piece of meat?

Her over-eager vagina was like a rack of rancid fly-festered lamb.

Michael Douglas was quoted vehemently stating that he did not fuck Sharon Stone. He sounded very defensive about it at the time.

Nicole Kidman and Harvey Keitel in Eyes Wide Shut?

I don’t think Streep hates Hoffman. I do think she did not like working with him on Kramer because he slapped her and verbally abused her. But she was only paid $35k for that movie I’m the 70’s, and the studio would not pay her $10m to come back to set. Plus there were no love scenes

Julia and Franco

"the movie which did very well and continues to do well many years after its release."

What is their definition of continues to do well? I'm wondering if it's part of a series or something that keeps it "doing well" but I can't think of what.

Poor Julia - always hiding her traumatized past

My first thought was Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling, but that's purely because they're the only on-screen film couple I can think of who didn't get on in real life. It's probably not them - I wouldn't describe McAdams as A+ list, and Gosling doesn't strike me as that type of guy.

Lisa Bonet and Mickey Rourke in ANGEL HEART? Though neither are A-list nowadays...

I hope ENTY reveals this because I don’t think anyone has guessed it

I also thought of Kim Basinger and Mickey Rourke (9 1/2 Weeks) but I don’t think of them as A Listers

Sharon Stone was paid a lot for Basic Instinct 2 but no one watches that movie anymore. I also doubt she could demand a $10M pay off for the first

James Franco - he skeeves everyone out but there is no way he would harass Julia Roberts when she was the star of the movie

I can't come up with the actress or the movie. So frustrating.

CDAN is right wing fiction for mouthbreathers. Nothing on that site is true. Stop reposting this bullshit.

Well, just ignore the thread. You don’t have to be a stick in the mud. Blind items have been around forever

R9, there are no love scenes between Charlize and Tom Hardy in "Mad Max: Fury Road", so it can't be them.

"movie which did very well and continues to do well many years after its release"

It could very well be "Basic Instintc". I imagine all the shit women go through in movie sets, especially if sex scenes are included...

You know OP purposely left off that this came from Enty, no link, no nothing.

What about Kate Winslet and Leonard DiCaprio Titantic is still a huge hit but they worked together again unless this happened on Revolutionary Road

Actors and Actress that hate each other.

Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson

Claire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio

Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey

Actors and Actress that hate each other,

Claire Danes and Leonardo DiCaprio

Jamie Dornan and Dakota Johnson

Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey

Please if Enty didn't rip this off from some obscure source then it's totally made up.

[quote]continues to do well many years after its release

I think you're going to find out that the $10 million number is bullshit, and the "many years" means it's some prehistoric nonsense involving people no one has cared about for decades like Jane Fonda and Lee Marvin.

Yeah, but no one got $10M in hazard pay back in those days, R81.

And that would be why r81 said the $10 million number would turn out to be bullshit, r82.

Buddy Ebsen and Bea Benadaret?

Reese Witherspoon and River Phoenix? Huge hit. She won the Oscar for it.

[quote]R15 Kim Basinger and Mickey Rourke

This makes the most sense, as Rourke and Carre Otis supposedly actually had sex onscreen filming WILD ORCHID (1990) a few years before Basinger worked with him.

JLaw and Chris Pratt.

Amy Schumer and John Cena

What movie did well and still does ? Thats the ticket to figuring this out. I think "Goodfellas" or "The Godfather" or even "Scarface" ?

Anne Hathaway is the actress.

She did press for a movie a few years back and when asked about her sex scenes with Jake G she said "Some actors and actresses actually have REAL sex during their love scenes and the audiences have no clue about it. I know that for a fact."

There are a very limited number of actresses that can demand an additional 10 mil and get it. The male co-star has to be just as big as her for the studio to do this or This has to be a franchise where BOTH were irreplaceable.

This can't be Eat,Pray,Love as the studio would have just washed their hands of Franco-- she's the much bigger star

[quote]Reese Witherspoon and River Phoenix? Huge hit. She won the Oscar for it.

Didn’t know she was into necrophilia.

Kim Basinger did not have enough clout to make any major demands when filming 9 1/2 Weeks, especially not additional money. (Plus it bombed at the box office in the US.) Sharon Stone had even less clout when filming Basic Instinct. Neither of them were A+ at the time and neither are A+ anymore (and Stone would not be rated higher than Douglas), so the rankings don't make sense either.

Anne H doesn't hate Jake G. They worked together on 2 different films. Plus Love and Other Drugs did not "do well and continue to do well." Same with the film Angel Heart.

This blind is bullshit.

Kate and Leo

Adolphe Menjou and Janet Gaynor

this is fake y'all. no studio would pay 10 million to anyone. unless they have to, ordered by court. so fucking stupid to fall for this shit.

It has to be Barbra Streisand and Walter Matthau for Hello Dolly.

Faye Dunaway & Jack Nicholson - set of "Chinatown." That's the answer. She was mistreated by the director (Polanski) - it was an all-male cast. She had no support on set. The money item is not true. She got screwed by agent Sue Mengers on the salary.

R27 mostly movie actress/ movie actor means film and another like TV or theater.

Timmy and Armie, CBMYN.

I could see a studio paying $10m only if the movie could afford it.

If this is even true, it would be creepy James Franco. I see the studio giving Julia an extra 10 million so she would t bail on the highly anticipated Eat Pray Love movie.

And remember Julia guest starred on Friends and Law and Order for the television part.

I agree it’s Julia and James Franco

As creepy as James Franco it, it's utterly ridiculous to believe he was sexually assaulting Julia freaking Roberts in front of director Ryan Murphy--with whom Julia worked again in The Normal Heart.

With that said, it's the only real fit. Because this blind is bullshit.

Julia and Charlize are both loathed...

Repeating myself from earlier, the money works ONLY if you are talking about one of the recent mega-franchises that were too profitable to let fail. And of those the women were not that integral other then The Twilight Saga. Certainly not Fast and Furious or the Marvel superhero films.

Julia is ten years older than James. Maybe he assaulted her in a trailer

R97, Walter Matthau actually refused to touch Barbra Streisand on Hello Dolly! and stomped off between takes to not be near her on set. They had to edit the wedding scene to create the illusion of a kiss because they wouldn't touch lips. And there's no sex scene, or anything close to it. And they made up years later--he showed up to her invite-only One Voice concert. And no way even the great Barbra got an additional $10 million from a studio in 1968 (about $70 million today!). Even if you assume it's a typo and was $1 million, just not likely since that would have been more than double her salary.

How about Halle and Billy Bob on Monster Ball.

Julia Roberts salary for Eat, Pray, Love was $10m so I could easily see the studio giving her an extra $10m to keep quiet and not walk

The movie grossed $204m worldwide

Halle doesn't hate Billy Bob. And she wasn't getting anywhere near an extra $1 or $10 million for that microscopic budget movie.

You idiots are such dimwits. I already said it's Frieda Pinto and James Franco in planet of the apes.

planet of the apes is the franchise which continues to mint money at the boxoffice.

Okay - here’s my lame guess.

Remember back when everyone was lauding Cameron Diaz for being such a shrewd businessperson by pulling in $60 million for the unexpected hit Bad Teacher?

Maybe this is where the actual windfall came from.

She was pretty A-List.

Timberlake “mostly A-List” sometimes actor, but definitely A-list celebrity.

Not sure if Seigel is considered anything resembling TV A-list or otherwise, but these blinds can be pretty loose when it comes to distinctions.

Also never saw this so I don’t know if there are sex scenes or whose characters would have participated.

According to DL Diaz is a lez and therefore wouldn’t have appreciated any male advances.

The movie made $215 million worldwide and probably still makes money for one of those flicks many fans just wait to rent.

Frieda Pinto Bean is not A+ List

Timberlake and Diaz dated so I don’t think he would do that to her on a movie. Plus she is not A+ List

It’s sad everyone guesses Franco for rape blind items, but if the shoe fits ...

R113, you shouldn't call people dimwits if you actually think Frida Pinto could be described as A+ list and ranked higher than James Franco.

R114, Diaz and Timberlake dated and she doesn't hate him.

Roberts and Denzel Washington?

[quote] Roberts and Denzel Washington?

I thought of them but she almost went down on him when he collected his Oscar.

John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John on the set of "Two Of A Kind."

And Julia and Denzel never had anything close to a love scene. She complained about that.

If people are going to waste time guessing a fake blind, at least pay attention to the clues.

I'm telling you...it's Amy Schumer and John Cena. Look it up.

Judy "Pills" Garland and S. Z. "Cuddles" Sakall

CDAN doesn't describe Amy Schumer as an A+ list mostly movie actress. He's revealed other blinds about her and he calls her an A list comic actress. Since her last couple of movies flopped, I doubt he's bumping her up in status.

Who could command a $10M bump for coming back to work?

“Mostly” movie work could include the actresses from Big Little Lies.

In what movies has Sandy had a love scene? Who does she openly hate?

Only Reese and Nicole from BLL would be A+ list but nothing from either of them really fits.

It's sad that you know that, r124.

Haha, I didn't know it off the top of my head. I searched his site. Took 6 seconds.

Michael Fassbender and Lupita Nyong'o, "12 Years a Slave"?

Barbara Stanwyck and legendary pussyhound Clifton Webb.

Really, R130? Do we really need to walk through why that's such a stupid guess?

Ooh this is a good one. I love riddles. Of course Franco with several actresses and actors, but what if this was about an Emma Stone and Sean Penn type scenario? She is A+ at moment

“Laid down the law” is the word play clue.

It’s referring to Jennifer Lawrence + _____________??

Didn't Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant not get along?

Boogie Nights

Julianne Moore Oscar winner

Mark Wahlberg Moneymaker

graphic sex scene

Bullshit on 10 M, Maybe 1M

Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Oratt - she was drunk during the shooting of sex scenes but then probably had sex with him after - one messed up lady

It could have been Gere on second film? He has lots of secrets. Ditto James Brolim

Franco liked them YOUNG and that has not described Julia Roberts in several decades.

Plus she adored Richard Gere so it is not him.

Oh and Julia filmed a love scene with Denzel Washington BUT the studio cut it.

What about Sarah Jessica Parker?

SJP is a solid B now.

This thread is like a PSA for creeps. I like it!

There is not one sane man on the planet that would force himself on hideous horse-faced SJP.

JLaw hates Pratt?

Passengers was shite.

It doesn't really fit the clues, but I can totally see Nicolas Cage going full method acting and trying to fuck Elisabeth Shue in Leaving Las Vegas. The stories about him living the life of an alcoholic to get into character before filming were everywhere when the movie came out.

In a long ago feature about nudity in films, SJP talked about a male actor pressuring her to be nude in a love scene, but I have no clue about who or what.

"laid down the law" made me think Jude Law, but I'm not familiar enough with his work his work to make a guess.

R136, she wasn't an Oscar winner then and didn't have enough clout.

R139, the story goes that Denzel got love scenes cut from the script, so never filmed.

Denzel had said long ago that he didn't want his characters to be involved romantically with white women. He felt it was disrespectful to black women. Not kidding or trolling.

Jodie Foster and Mathew McConaughey in Contact.

Aren’t they both gay?

It must have been a movie with lots of sex which most movies don’t have

Meaning what is the last mainstream film with lots of sex?

R136 She's A list NOW

I don't believe in a 10M pay raise. If there was enough the film shot she could have squeezed 1M out of them.

Did people already rule out Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant?

yes R152

I am still sticking to my original prediction. Freida Pinto and James Franco

Freida Pinto is A list? Never heard of her.

The only one who shows her titties is JLaw. Most of these ladies don't do nude scenes.

What about Amy Adams?

I am stuck on the another $10m part ... that only applies to a very big star who agreed to do nude love scenes. JLaw in Passengers but she seems to love Chris Pratt

Sharon Stone in 1992

Actually never mind about Sharon - she was sleeping around and could not demand money for it

If the actress is really A+, and the sexual harassment/abuse claims are real and provable, and the movie is 2/3's in the can, then maybe a leading actress who has blown her stack and has a very good agent, could get a huge payment like that to return and finish the picture, as opposed to deeming the studio in breach, staying home, and leaving the film unfinished. It's possible.

Reese is always saying she was raped a lot

If James Franco is a rapist he should not get work - just saying

R159 yes, but nothing fits the remaining clues. A+ actress openly hates the A list actor, the film had sex scenes and was successful and somehow still doing well years later.

Reminder, this is CDAN. So we're dealing with a blind that is likely at least 75% bullshit. If there's a kernel of truth here, the real story is probably something like actress felt disrespected by crude costar, stormed off set and was coaxed back with some extra perks.

The film has to be at least 5 and more like 10+ years old.

The actress’s initial salary had to have been at least $10 million.

The two word clues are “lay down the law” and “piece of meat.”

Jude Law and Cameron Diaz in The Holiday.

Or Jude Law and Julia Roberts in Closer.

Jude Law fits the mainly movies with his rare TV appearance on The Young Pope.

Julia Roberts is more A+ than Cameron. And she commanded $10 million a movie back then.

But The Holiday is still a successful movie today, with its holiday season re-airings. And Cameron was at the height of her popularity and earning potential then.

"She has never let anyone doubt how much she hates him". That's the clue, it's known fact that actress hates this actor, it's not a secret.

R146 Absolutely true. He did say that. So he respected them by fucking Julia's brains out in New Orleans while they were shooting The Pelican Brief.

[quote]But The Holiday is still a successful movie today, with its holiday season re-airings. And Cameron was at the height of her popularity and earning potential then.

OK, but are there any sex scenes to speak of in it? The clue talks about multiple scenes, and I think it's implied that they're graphic enough that real sex was a possibility.

I think it's a given that we're talking Body Heat/9 1/2 Weeks/Basic Instinct/50 Shades of Grey level sex scenes here. Anything with Demi Moore fit? She was the top earning actress for years.

I think the poster upthread got it right---"laid down the law" is a clue. It's either Jude Law or to JLaw.

Jude Law was also in Close with Natalie Portman, not just Julia Roberts. He had hot scene with Kidman in Cold Mountain. But who the hell would complain about Jude Law groping them when he was "Sexiest Man Alive"? Makes no sense.

So that leaves JLaw and some troll who is too gross to put up with. Who would that be? And who does she openly hate? I can also believe she'd be able to command (and would accept) a $10M hazard pay bribe.

There’s only a handful of actresses that could ever demand anywhere in the ballpark of 10 million. I think this blind is bullshit or they seriously over inflated the number. If they said a million that’s more believable. The actresses that could command that type of figure I can’t imagine their co-star being that bold. Actresses like Bullock I’m sure as the type of clout where she could completely destroy a career with a few carefully placed phone calls.

I think the $10million figure is fake. I'm pretty sure the bits about them being A Listers is also a red herring. And the assertion that the film in question "still does well" is obviously a false lead. I believe the rest of the blind though. Someone, somewhere, definitely sexually assaulted someone. Somewhere.

This Never Happened

0/0

Cameron partied with Jude Law for years after The Holiday - don’t think it’s them

JLaw and X-Men co-star Michael Fassbender

Julia and Brad Pitt or Clooney?

[quote]r98 Faye Dunaway & Jack Nicholson - set of "Chinatown." That's the answer. She was mistreated by the director (Polanski) - it was an all-male cast. She had no support on set. The money item is not true. She got screwed by agent Sue Mengers on the salary.

No, Dunaway has always spoken well of Jack Nicholson. Her problem was with Polanski.

It’s obviously Katharine Hepburn and Henry Fonda on the set of On Golden Pond.

If this is meant to be current, the only women that work are JLaw, Roberts or Bullock, because a studio will not shell out an extra $10m lightly. Bullock is a lez, so she is out. Roberts does not do love scenes, so she is out. Lawrence fits, and I like the X-Men guess, but she seems chummy with all those guys. Let us know if he reveals who it is.

Could it be Angelina Jolie?

Undoubtedly this

Yeah, I thought Angelina and Johnny Depp but it seems a stretch to say The Tourist did/still does really well

James is a rapist so he is always a suspect

Reese and Paul Rudd?

Never heard of Frieda Pinto. Is she A+ List in China?

Angelina and Nic Cage?

Good guess!

CDAN is total crap. And now he's plastering pro-Trump shit all over the site. He probably wants you to think it's some vocal liberal actor.
