Four For Friday

#1. With the writer's and actor's strike looming, this show has been filming almost constantly. The male star of this network drama has been doing so much coke and speed to keep himself alert during filming that he looks wildly different not only from each episode to the next, but even from scene to scene which is causing even more filming.

#2. Just because someone got married within the last three months doesn't mean this B list television actress should stop sleeping with her ex-boyfriend does it?

#3. The dog fighting scandal that has rocked professional football could be set to claim another participant. This time it will be one of Hollywood's brightest young film stars. Only B- list, but rocketing up quickly, this actor has hosted dog fights and even breeds them. Not a huge scandal on its own, but he also says he's a vegan and an outspoken supporter of animal rights. I guess he may have to rethink that whole thing huh?

#4. This married A list male actor who has been in a number one film within the last year or so recently stopped in to an adult video store. He rented four movies starring the same actress. The clerk said something to the effect of our actor must really like the actress. Our A lister said he was going to f**k her later that night and wanted to see what he was getting in advance.

    Actress salaries obviously vary. An A lister is going to make more than A B, etc. USUALLY. This B list film actress who is thin, usually blond, and has surprisingly good teeth can often be found in A list movies and gets paid just as much as any female A lister. She has been making A list money even when she was just C list or even just doing bit parts. How does she manage such big paydays? Have you noticed how she primarily works with the same studio for most of her films? It could have something to do with the fact that a studio boss was in love/lust with her and she seduced him and did him and filmed it with his knowledge. You can see where this goes. She has several copies of the tape and knows how to get them to his wife. Letting the company pay for your mistakes with a higher salary for an actress is much easier than having your wife divorce you and taking your personal fortune.

    OK- I have been researching. I went back and looked at everyone's guesses. Then I looked at the imdb profiles for the following, and I looked at each ones movies and production companies. There were A FEW repeats, but nothing that would seem abnormal or send up a red flag for the following:
    Charlize Theron
    Clarie Danes
    Kate Bosworth
    Renee Zellweger
    Cameron Diaz

    I seriously looked at each, and wrote them down as I went along. I seriously think we can rule out all 5 of these guesses.

    Steel Magnolia's
    Flatliners
    Mary Reilly
    Hook
    My best Friend's wedding
    Stepmom
    Notting Hill
    Erin Brokovich
    The Mexican
    America's Sweethearts
    Mona lIsa Smiles
    Closer
    Hmmm..... ALL are Columbia Tri-Star pictures. ALL are JULIA ROBERTS?! What is she known for? Her huge toothy grin. She MAY be a-list, not b-list- but she can't open a movie. SH'e had ALOT of bombs. Could she be the actress that seduced an exec and taped it? SHe also did a couple Sony movies, which is Columbia Tri-star's parent company (I think).

    it's not "entourage". they're wrapped already.

    and ent said "male star". meaning there is/are also a female star/stars. and NO ONE respond by saying "debi mazar". it's not "entourage". move on.

    think someone along the lines of vince d. from "criminal intent" who has a history of weird behavior on the set.

    "l & o" shows banked shows like this the last time there was a strike looming. and it's just about summer. most shows aren't even filming again until august/sept. unless their season is starting very early or they're in constant production.

    think network. think drama (which "entourage" is not. "entourage", as we all know, is science fiction).

  27. And whoever guess Casey Affleck might be right too. In fact, he is a close friend of Joaquin Phoenix, having even married his sister Summer.

    It seems like his acting career has stalled a little while Joaquin can be said to be: up and coming.

    But... between the two personality wise, I might have to go with the Casey guess.

    I stand by the JP guess because of these descriptions: "rocked professional football" "rocketing up" which reminds me of him playing Johnny Cash - ok, it's a stretch, but still.

    Casey is on the list here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_vegans

    I guess he's an OK guess too, but he doesn't rock to me.

    Someone mentioned he's not young. Weird thing is I still think of JP as that kid in To Die For where he was way hot. He aged? Man, I guess I did too!

He will be in the upcoming Transformers and will be playing the son of Indiana Jones. Sounds like a bright{young} film star. Number 1 sounds like Josh Duhamel. I saw him on the today show and he stated that they were currently filming the show. He did have a wild look in his eyes but at the time I attributed it to lack of sleep.

    #3, Casey Affleck: Good guess, a solid B-lister who is getting all the good buzz, and then some, about his costarring role with Brad Pitt in "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" (he plays Ford). Expect lots of awards/Oscar buzz for him.

    Shia LeBeouf is another good guess. Definitely a B-lister with a rocketing career right now.

    BTW: Jack Coleman (Horn-Rimmed Glasses guy on "Heroes") had a chat session on TheEnvelope.com the other day and mentioned that "Heroes" goes back into production next WEEK. He said each ep takes 10-14 days to shoot, which accounts for the early start, but it also has to be NBC wanting to make sure they have eps in the can prior to a strike. They had to have had NO hiatus to speak about.

  60. Can I just chime in and add that Shia didn't have much of a 'sheltered' life before hollywood, he is outspoken on the fact that he started acting to bring money into his household after watching his father battle a heroin addiction, and he was a kid star from his early pre-teens... Up-and coming/rising actors? yes... immature/experimenting for street cred? doubtful. He also is at the point in his career where if he wanted to he could be flashing his preverbial mangina for publicityby fame whoring after the release of Disturbia and his announced role in Indy 4 but he seems to be focusing more on his career than his fame...

    My guess' for these lovely BI's:

    BI 1: Keifer sounds good... but I really thought his drug of choice was booze. Not coke. Sadly I thought of Christopher Meloni simply cause he has gotten very wired looking in the last year.

    BI 2: Brittney Murphy ... her new marriage seems like a very impulsive move not well thought out. And she has had numerous groom-wanna-be in the last couple of years.

    BI 3: I don't have any good guess' for this one... but I don't think anyone has named them yet. Strictly cause the names mention all have been steadily working for years.

    BI 4: Okay I love this one... strictly cause it made me laugh. And I tend to think of the male actor as being older... over 40. Someone who is not in the pages of US Weekly or the National Enquirer. Someone who can roam around in the local video store with ease.

    I agree with the lone poster who tried to point out that #3 could very possibly be Josh Hartnet. He is def B- list which JP is not. Surely ent wouldnt classify himas B- he is classic B. Josh is very spoken out about animal rights and peta. I dont know if he says he's a vegan but i could find out easy. I think it's a great guess.
    Now, Pariss Ent has already made it clear julia is an A list star to him as a matter of fact when he did a BI about her he even called her A++ list. Good that u researched but, it's not impossible for it to be one of the others u mentioned I haven't researched the rest but, i can tell u Cameron has been in at least 4 0r 5 Dreamwork pictures with more coming.
    Also, we should keep in mind that in #2 wording could be everything.It might have been the ex boyfriend who got married and not the actress, Its not really clear so lets keep that in mind though it probally is the actress.

    Remember this one?

    So this A list couple but in reality B listers when it comes to movies, have employees just like almost every other Hollywood couple. When they hire a new employee that employee must sign a confidentiality agreement which basically precludes said employee from spilling everything they see. Well this Hollywood couple has some definite things to hide including guests who visit for fun and games and some kids who are not as well behaved as one would imagine. It turns out that a recently fired maid was reminded when she was fired about the confidentiality agreement she had signed and thus couldn't say anything to anyone about what had gone on in the house.

    The maid said she had never signed such a thing and a check of the her file showed she was in fact correct. The person who had hired her had been filling in for someone else and had neglected to get the maid to sign the requisite form. Even though she had just been fired, the employer tried to get the maid to sign a new form right then and there. She refused. Immediately after leaving the house, her next act was to call a few tabloids to sell her story. When they realized she hadn't signed an agreement they jumped hard.

    When the celebrity couple were informed of the impending scandal they were going to face, they jumped even harder. They first offered the maid a new job with a better salary, but she didn't want to go back. She finally settled for a cool $100K to keep everything hush-hush. The employee who failed to get the original signature was fired but can't do or say anything because they had been given the confidentiality agreement and signed it.


    I was the naysayer who was convinced that this was a recycled BI about Madge and Guy's nanny. Appears I was wrong.
