Today's Blind Items

What Academy Award nominated actor has been taking every opportunity to try and recruit for his new church? Oh, it isn't a church he started attending. It is a church he just recently started for himself based on an entirely new denomination that he has created out of his head. He feels that he has a lot of wisdom and teaching he can pass along. So, far, despite handing out hundreds of cards and brochures, attendance at the church which he holds at his house has averaged about 2. Besides the fact it is strange, apparently he believes church should start promptly at 5am.

Has Gary Busey ever been nominated? Because that was the first name that came to mind. I guess I could just go do the research but I don't wanna.

I am with you Harriet. How the hell would you research it anyway?

Seconding the Joaquin Phoenix guess. Not only has he been acting increasingly nutty in recent years, he also comes from a cult background and has defended it more than once.

Busey was nominated for an Oscar for his portrayal of Buddy Holly.

i don't think mickey rourke is that screwy, is he?

nolte is a good guess.

so is joaquin.

and rd, jr., much as i hate to say this, is a little off, too.

harriet good call! he was nominated for the buddy holly story. and he's as whack as they get.

Mel Gibson. His dad has a church. (though Mel won for Braveheart didn't he?)

jw12, all you have to do is go to imdb.com, type in the actors name and in the left hand column on their page it says awards. click on that and it tells you if the person was nominated or won for any number of awards.

Does Joaquin even have a house? Why can I picture him living in a tent?

Harriet Hellfire said...

I went to Wikipedia (not the most reliable source, I know) and it does say he is an academy award nominee. So, my official guess is Gary Busey.
