Blind item: Which jealous actress destroyed a career?

Every single one of you know this A- list actress who is an Oscar winner/nominee. Let us call her JS. If I asked you to use one word to describe her, most of you would say something along the lines of sweet. I would go with cunning or possibly manipulative. I get asked a lot who is not the person that is their image. This actress is at the top of the list. Lets go back in time to her very first big break. She is a teenager and she may have even not been legal when it was filmed. Even back then, she knew she wanted to be a star. JS wanted to be the one everyone discussed and hyped. She saw a threat to that in another actress in the movie and started a rumor campaign that was next level. JS knew what she was doing and the actress, who everyone loved, never worked again. Poof. Gone.

One thing JS had not counted on is that she thought she would get lots of roles after her first. She thought she was going to be a star. There were tiny things, but she had been counting on big things. Big was her problem. A casting director finally told JS that she was a fine size in the real world, but not so much in the acting world. So, our sweet actress went on a crash diet and became an Adderall fiend and did everything she could to become the tiny person she is today. She doesn't exercise. She medicates and purges but that isn't in her official biography.

by Anonymousreply 1July 1, 2022 3:30 AM

Now, with her new tiny frame, she was ready to be big again. JS needed a role and there was a very up and coming director who was going to do a movie that could launch her career. So, she slept with him. She did everything he wanted and she got the role and she kept sleeping with him until the film was released and then never spoke to him again. It devastated him because he was convinced they were going to be together forever. He didn't work for two years because he was so crushed.

That movie did exactly what JS thought it would do. It launched her career into A list territory.

Her first movie was at 14 - The Man in the Moon. Guessing the actress she smeared was the one that played her sister.

The very up and coming director - Alexander Payne directed Election. Or possibly Robert Luketic - Legally Blonde was his first movie.

Reese is always warm and pleasant on the surface but is known to be a type A cunt from hell. Her character in Little Fires Everywhere was not a far walk from the page to the stage, as it were.

As if that makes him any more credible. What he does or did (I rarely read him anymore) was take some obscure story in a book or somewhere and turn it into a blind item so he appears to have credibility for the BS stories. He was called out on that ages ago when a BI turned out to be something in some little-read Hollywood book.

by Anonymousreply 65July 1, 2022 4:56 AM

I would agree it's probably laura Jeanne reese witherSpoon.

In Election she played a teenager though technically she was 22 years old at the time. The director, Alexander Payne, would have been around 37. About Schmidt was his next film to come out 3 years later in 2002.

The girl she spread rumors about could have been Jessica Campbell who played Tammy Metzler. She stole many scenes, was the undeniable hero of Election, and was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for Best Debut Performance. I could see how someone could be jealous. When the movie came out I fully expected to see Jessica Campbell again but she vanished. She did a couple episodes of Freaks and Geeks and that was it. She became a naturopath and later died in 2020.

Reese also has a tiny frame, seems to be another clue along with the "legal" hint (Legally Blonde).

Reese is a good guess, but she had a few "breakthroughs." She was probably right on the age bubble when she filmed the teen Fatal Attraction knockoff Fear, with Mark Wahlberg as the psycho boyfriend. They have a pretty graphic sex scene.

If the blind item is about her, I can think of a few actress co-stars of the '90s who could have been her target. But I don't think Alyssa Milano (Fear) would be described as someone who never worked again, even though she didn't develop much of a movie career.

The blind doesn't say they didn't work steadily. It says they worked steadily but in smaller roles after their first movie, then got thinner before their big breakout role. Both Lawrence and Johansson fit that description. They do not have "tiny frames" and I agree with you on that, but to say those guesses are "stupid" means you don't understand how blinds work. "Tiny frames" could be hyperbole, or misdirection, or a clue, and not be literal at all.

by Anonymousreply 94July 1, 2022 12:23 PM

It’s Anna Kendrick.

Did her first movie Camp at 17. Her costar Alana Allen never worked again. Real life imitated the plot of the movie (with the character Kendrick played stealing Allen’s character’s thunder).

She was cast as Jessica Stanley “JS” in all the Twilight movies. But as the nosy, unsexy friend.

She was strictly entering schlubby best friend territory like a young SJP…then she slimmed down…like a young SJP.

A-list movie was Up in the Air directed by “very UP and coming Director” Jason Reitman.

She was nominated for an Oscar for it.

After that, she was as close to A-list as possible in her age group and in terms of what A-list then meant (a hot script with a leading role for a woman in her 20s to early 30s.)

Reitman took a long break.

If the blind is accurate, it’s certainly Kendrick.

“I could tell they had a lot of chemistry, and I’m like, ‘Oh my God.’ I thought, Kristen was 17. I don’t want to get in some illegal things,” Hardwicke added. “So I remember I told Rob, ‘By the way, Kristen is 17. In our country, it’s illegal to have a sexual…’ And he’s like, ‘Oh, okay, whatever.'”

Kristen said she had to get super skinny for the vampire movies. She also had an affair with that Rupert director then dumped him. I wouldn't say Kendrick is A list, plus has she been nominated for an Oscar?

The female co-star was not from her first film, but from her "first big break," which is the film that made her famous and the film where she had the affair with the director.

So the co-star she badmouthed was not from "The Man in the Moon," but from 'Election" (the film that made Reese a star)--and that's Jessica Campbell.

“knew what she was doing and the actress, who everyone loved, never worked again. Poof. Gone.”

Jessica Campbell (Election) did work again. She was pretty good in The Safety of Objects.

Alana Allen (Camp) however, was “poof, gone.”

It's Anne Hathaway.

She has this goody-goody, Polyanna image but gives off the vibes of a mega poisonous cunt.

She filmed The Princess Diaries when she was 18-19. Her co-star, Heather Matarazzo, famously can't find work after that movie even though she was really memorable.

Then a 3 year hiatus of insignificant movies. Then Ella Enchanted (2007) whose director Tommy O'Haver didn't work for the next few years. (And looks like the pining type too.)

I think Anna Kendrick fits the bill. She is A- list, not A list, which everyone would agree Reese is. Those of us who keep up with detailed celebrity gossip know Kendrick is rumored to be a completely obnoxious self-absorbed nightmare, but I don't think it's common knowledge. All the straight guys I know online think she's the relatable "normal pretty" girl of their dreams and often name her as a celebrity crush and many women find her cute and nonthreatening, especially with her recent slate of films like Pitch Perfect and that Netflix Christmas one, which was a relative hit. And she was never fat but she did lose a notable amount of weight at one point.

by Anonymousreply 147July 1, 2022 6:24 PM

It's CDAN, so it's bullshit. But if we're playing along, Reese doesn't fit. She had a straight upward trajectory after Man in the Moon, and even if you play fast and loose with what her big A list role is, none of her early hits or critically praised films involved an up and coming director who then just stopped working for 2 years after the film was released. Alexander Payne who directed Election did About Schmidt right after. If you push her big role out to Legally Blonde, you have to ignore all the film success she had up until then. Plus the director Robert Luketic did not have say in casting her—she had to convince the studio, and they forced her to go through several rounds of auditions. And Luketic went on right after to direct that flop Ted Hamilton movie. She was also pretty skinny/tiny before Legally Blonde, and she put on weight and famously got skinny again after her divorce. It’s the stretchiest of stretches.

Anna Kendrick doesn't fit either, although she has slimmed down quite a bit (she was very busty as a teen). Jason Reitman directed Up in the Air and was well established by then (already had an Oscar nom for Juno), plus he did Young Adult and Labor Day right after. The other possibility would be director Jason Moore for Pitch Perfect, but he didn't stop working after that film, he directed a TV series right after.

Anne Hathaway also doesn’t work. Ang Lee directed Brokeback Mountain, and David Frankel was also well-established in TV and did Marley & Me immediately after The Devil Wears Prada. Also Anne finding Heather Matarazzo to be some kind of threat is absurd, not to mention they worked together in the Princess Diaries sequel.

And so on. No one quite fits all the clues because it’s bullshit. It’s just some silly “which rich famous woman is the biggest bitch” red meat for QAnon types.

This one is blindingly obvious. Julia Roberts, "America's Sweetheart" as she was known in her prime. Starred in Mystic Pizza, filmed while she was a minor. The other actress in that film was Annabeth Gish, who everyone thought would have the big career afterward (especially since she was a Gish), but nope.

Julia looked great in Mystic Pizza, then lost a shit ton of weight afterwards, becoming yet another actress with a big head on a popsicle stick frame, which figure she's maintained for the duration of her career, even though she was much better looking at her previous weight when she first started out.

Also rumor has it she loves and prefers anal.

by Anonymousreply 152July 1, 2022 6:41 PM

Although I had ruled out Kendrick in an earlier reply, she really does fit the clues upon closer inspection. She had TWO co-stars from "Camp" who seem to have vanished from show business (Alana Allen and Tiffany Taylor, but I think the B.I. refers to Allen).

It doesn't say that she was ever pudgy, just not "Hollywood thin." Kendrick was a bit doughy in her early films and became teeny tiny around the time of her breakout Oscar-nominated role in "Up in the Air."

Also, she is definitely A- list, whereas Witherspoon, Roberts, Stewart and Johansson are A/A+ list.

Jason Reitman was already established and didn't stop working after Up in the Air was released. He immediately starting writing then went into preproduction for Labor Day.

Reese Witherspoon is not that much of a bitch. Y'all just hate her for no good reason. Ditto Julia Roberts.

Reese has never been heavy, but she has been very tiny. She's Type A - but not a bulimic. The bitch has self discipline.

Jen Aniston is also the furthest thing from a saboteur of other actresses. And she LOVES food but knows how to eat healthy. And smoke cigarettes. Why has everyone forgotten how easy it is to stay thin if you smoke. It's the greatest appetite suppressant and oral gratification known to man.

Like Bacon is nature's perfect food. Low in calories. High in protein and good fats!

Anna Kendrick is the one who fits the BILL or Kristen Stewart. Neither were chubby - but both have been heavier. Stewart was Jodie's daughter in Panic Room! They are both unhealthy with dark circles from eating disorders and dark shady sexual alliances that seem to have benefitted their careers. Kendrick was not exactly the type of actress to have the power to get some other young thing cancelled.

Unless they mean she fucked up Brittany Snow - who really was the STAR of Pitch Perfect.

“Hader and Kendrick originally met in 2019 on the set of the pathologically unfunny Disney+ Christmas movie Noelle, which is about a woman who wants to become Santa. They played siblings. While I’m sure that was incredibly romantic, Hader was dating Rachel Bilson at the time, so they didn’t get together right away.”

Director Jason Reitman is such a fan of Kendrick that he wrote the part specifically for her. What he's apparently not a fan of is the franchise.

"MTV viewers, 'Twilight' is a graveyard of acting," he laughed in a recent interview.

Reitman declared that he would never judge an actor's talent based on the vampire saga. He fell for Kendrick's skills after taking in "Rocket Science," a 2007 indie comedy in which the actress plays the hyper-articulate debate-team queen.

"When I saw her in that movie, I just thought, 'This girl has a different voice from everyone of her generation,' " Reitman said. "She oddly talks like someone from the 1940s, and she's so witty and smart and sharp, and I needed a girl who could go toe-to-toe with George Clooney, and she was the one."

What does the director think of all this Oscar talk? It's not the first time such buzz has cropped up around his work. His 2007 comedy "Juno" nabbed four nominations, including Best Actress for Ellen Page.

"If anyone I direct ever gets nominated, I'm going to take a lot of pride in it," he said. "And certainly when Ellen got nominated for 'Juno,' I was just over the moon for her."

Over the moon, yes, but he never considered drafting Page for "Up in the Air," which hits theaters Friday.

"This was Anna's role," he explained. "I wrote this for Anna. As soon as I saw 'Rocket Science' and I recognized her voice, I started writing for her."
