Blind Item- Former A-List actress is reduced to selling autographs with D-Listers

Susan Dey

Kstew

It’s not me. I’m still a teenager.

These blind items are dumb. Just say what you want to say, if not just check out.

Sounds like SJP, except for being an A list anything except ASSHOLE

Phoebe Cakes!!!

Miss Lindsay Lohan

^what franchise? Only KStew fits this bill.

Talk about a fall from grace!

K Stew was nominated for an Oscar just last year and has been working. She doesn’t fit the bill

Kristen Dunst?

Another one who consistently works and was recently Oscar nominated r11

Neve Campbell appears at many of these conventions.

It’s a shame G. has fallen so low.

[quote]“This actress was A list when she was a teen with a movie franchise that has been rebooted and she was A- list for years after that."

Clearly it's the millennial version of Brendad — Tami "Pippi Longstocking" Erin.

Anna Paquin? X-men being the franchise. She never does anything anymore but I don’t remember hearing about any bad relationships

"a teen with a movie franchise that has been rebooted and she was A- list for years after that."

Reboots are a dime a dozen but teen in a franchise not so much. I wonder how they define "A-" list?

J-Law was in her 20s in Hunger Games (and X Men), SJo was in her 20s in Avengers, Eliot Page was 18 or 19 in her first X-Men. And yes, K-Stew is the best bet but I cannot picture her needing to do autograph shows. She does not crave the spotlight and appears to live the simple life of your average dyke.

I don’t think this BI is her, but Cristina Ricci is doing a low rent con near me. Isn’t she on two hit shows right now?

[quote]Only KStew fits this bill.

So when did Twilight get rebooted?

R4 Blind Items have been a Datalounge mianstay for decades. I’ve missed them in the past years. I suggest you get used to them.

On the flip side of this BI I was shocked as hell to find out 80s perennial teen actress Jamie Gertz is the wealthiest actress in Hollywood. Who knew!

Ooh I know I know!!!!

…it’s fake.

Lots of actors/celebs do cons now.

It generates publicity for projects, is great extra cash in hand, build a loyal fanbase, etc...

I constantly see working celebs appear now. There is no stigma.

Evangeline Lily, Lizzie Oleson, Andrew Garfield, Karen Gillan, Paul Wesley... even older talents are jumping on the bandwagon like Christopher Lloyd, Barbara Eden. Hell I'm excited that in a month I get to meet Diane Baker. Then in November, the horse hung Ryan Potter.

In 2 weeks, I get to finally meet John Wesley Shipp whom I will always remember from the very early days of Datalounge when someone posted they hooked up with him and said his asshole had the "consistency of raw hamburger."

Halle Berry? Oscar winner, X-Men. some seriously crazy relationships...

Only person who knew Halle Berry as a teen was her mother.

Jennifer Lawrence, Kristen Stewart, and Elliot Page are all working, they may not be earning the biggest bucks of their careers but they're all consistently employed.

Neve Campbell sounds like a better bet, this is the sort of thing that happens to actresses over forty.

[quote]Cristina Ricci is doing a low rent con

Pics please.

Tara Reid?

Not sure Tara ever rose to A- list.

Indeed, R29. Do these blind items sometimes inflate their subjects' level of fame to make the item more interesting? I'm not very familiar with them.

Neve Campbell - Scream. I never really thought of her as A list, though.

Jamie Lee Curtis. Her relationships are with her fans.

Yes R30, Entertainment Lawyer in particular is known for inflating star ratings.

Winona Ryder.

All of the SCREAM cast do cons, aside from Drew Barrymore and Courtney Cox.

Campbell, Arquette, Ulrich, Lillard, Kennedy, McGowan, Shelton... even the guy who does the telephone voice.

They get huge lines and make out like bandits.

I'm guessing Neve Campbell.

Neve Campbell wasn’t A List as a teen. She didn’t start acting until her early 20s.

Lindsay Lohan and “Herbie” was the remake.

Did the Saudi dump her?

Hayley Fucking Mills.

I was going to meet Hayley at the same event as Diane Baker but she got a job overseas so had to cancel.

And since Hayley wasn't coming, then Juliet cancelled. And no Juliet equals no Maxwell.

Bummer but perhaps next year.

Who is the Hannah Montana creature?

Honestly, why wouldn't any actor who isn't currently pulling in tens of millions per role do conventions? Great way to make thousands of dollars (some of it in cash) by allowing the unwashed masses to tell you how fabulous you are for a day or two. Most actors can always use extra money - for the most part, it's a hand to mouth existence.

Sarah Ferguson

R23 Remember to hold the lettuce and the pickle.

Anna Paquin won an Oscar at like 9 years old so that makes her A list. She was in X men in her teens

Go past main entrance , third booth to the right of Dean Cain.

Which Comic Con are you going to, Comic Con Queen?

R47 - she seems very likely to fit. Transformers. One-time hot commodity.

Most actors live for adulation, they'd do it for free let alone getting paid

R22 yes but they do the big cons. The blind is saying that this actress is doing d-list cons.

How many big cons can there possibly be?

(They all seem D-list to me, but I am an old)

Surely Kristen Stewart made enough money from the Twilight series to last her a lifetime. She doesn't need to sign autographs at bottom tier conventions.

r23 Would he write that on your signed 8x10 glossy?

Christina Ricci,

[quote]Which Comic Con are you going to, Comic Con Queen?

Fairfax Comic Con (outside of DC)

Mid-Atlantic Nostalgia (Hunts Valley, MD)

Retro Con (Philly)

Monster Mania (Philly)

Rhode Island Comic Con

This HAS to be Brendad. Selling autographs and her tired old cooter.

Does Barbara Bain do conventions?

Exactly. I go to conventions here and there. Some of these people make A SHIT TON of money. Some of them are charging $100-$200 to sign there name on a glossy photo or stand for a selfie and many of them have lines for days/hours. Even if you don't like interacting with the people (and some of them can be really terrible...) there's a lot of cash to be made. Also keep in mind that a lot of these stars get wholesale deals to sign a stack of photos in their hotel room before or after.

Also some of the biggest stars are doing private signings now, people like Andrew Garfield, Benedict Cummerbatch, etc. so it's really not as looked down on as much as it was 5-10 years ago.

Isn't she dead R58?

Jennifer Love Hewitt, and the "I Know What You Did Last Summer" franchise.

r41 She’s Gloria Swanson’s great granddaughter.

r58 r60 Almost 92 — she would never get the insurance the cons require

R59, is “private signing” a gracious way of saying prostitution?

R61 I totally forgot about Jennifer Love Hugetits.

I find it fascinating how B list actresses from the aughts either ended up billionaires like Jessica Alba or selling their souls at D-List conventions. How did a huge publicity whore like Jlove, who’d turn her Mom’s eczema into a People cover story, miss the billionaire mark? She was everywhere at one point.

This is an example of what I hated about pursuing acting. Not that I ever did anything major, but once you become a name on any level, it ruins you for all kinds of other work outside of directing or producing. You can whittle away a lifetime waiting for your big break OR if you get lucky early, you’re hustling the rest of you career to remain relevant. And your money burns super fast because all of this takes a team. And if you decide you actually want to do something else with your life - you are considered to have “fallen off” your life is a failure.

R65 JLH was considered A-List in the late 90s into early 00s.

Jessica Alba was considered A-List in the early to mid 00s

r67

JLH has always worked. She headlined a tv show. She’s on 911 now. She got older (and heavier) but she has never lacked for jobs. I think she’s had a pretty good career.

sharon stone.

I lost my house and I don't have any money. So a girl has to do what she has to do, bitch.

Christine Ricci? She’s going to be at autograph show in Burbank this fall

[quote] [R59], is “private signing” a gracious way of saying prostitution?

I don't know, does this look like it has an option to fuck

Or this?

I wonder how much Dick Van Dyke pays the people who sign his mail-order autographs?

[quote]This HAS to be Brendad. Selling autographs and her tired old cooter.

Brendad? Former A-list? Surely you jest. Brendad never made it higher than the lower rungs of the C-list.

Well, hello!

What insurance?

Emma Watson
