NY Daily News Blind Item

Which DUI-ed director/actor - goes this ridiculous but too-good-not-to-share story doing the rounds in Hollywood - wears a fake nose to avoid being recognized in public? It is said he lends it to his closeted actor buddy, who wears it when trawling for men.

closeted friend - geoffrey rush? college roommate?

cheesegrater15 said...

I have to agree. It reeks of Mel.

sauvage said...

Yap, Mel Gibson.

Is Geoffrey Rush even closeted?

MontanaMarriott said...

Forget the director/actor, the juicier story is the closeted actor, who could that be?
And wouldn't the fake nose make you UGLIER?
So how would they plan on meeting men?

Claire said...

Geoffrey Rush is married. His wife played his wife in Quills. Not necessarily proof he isn't gay, but would anyone NOT hire Rush if he was?

Mel hates gays, I don't think he's have a closet friend.

LMAO! Again, our guesses contradict guesses from blinds past. Mel can't be the answer to a blind where the person hates different groups of people and also the answer to this blind where he has a homosexual friend. Pick one.

Any guesses for Lainey's BI today? Hers usually aren't that tough, but I'm drawing a blank.

Gay But Broke
UPDATE: it's NOT the Rock.
Heterosexually attached for a long, long time, he recently faced his inner gay and admitted the truth. His partner apparently took it well. As well as any woman can under the circumstances. She felt much better when she found out how much of the bank account she was entitled to. And given that he was the one walking, and he is the one who’s famous, he’s also the one who has to pay. A lot.

So now he’s broke – relatively speaking. In Hollywood terms, I mean. Lost his job, no work on the horizon, he seriously considered coming out as a way of “reinventing his image”, not for gay rights but because he needs the money. Only problem is, he was told over and over again that “no one will care if you’re gay”.

On the flipside, a fake Hollywood romance with a famewhore like Denise Richards for example won’t fly either since the ex will flip her sh*t and out her himself, preferring to be passed over for a mo over another woman. Me too!

He was encouraged to do Dancing with the Stars but pride got in the way. If things don’t turn around, it’ll be a last resort next season.

I think Lainey's item is Mike Myers.

And I think this blind is Quentin Tarantino, he does have a DUI, right?

And his bud is John Travolta! LOL!

With Quentins nose, I think he does need a fake nose to be hiding in the real world!

@Joann...hmmm yeah but Mike Myers...I mean, he's usually comedic/box office gold, even if he's been off the scene for a little while, dont you think Hollywood would drum some project up for him to do? He's like Ben Stiller, Adam Sandler, and Will Ferrell: put him in a project, any project, and throngs will show up, no matter what the reviews said.

JoAnn said...

True, but it's been awhile since we've seen him in anything. And it seems like since Austin Powers, he's been hiding pretty good. Has he been doing stand up? I just haven't heard anything since his divorce?

He did Shrek 3....I guess. You are probably right, he's got too much $$ in the bank to be broke. Even after the divorce.

Who knows.

YahMoBThere said...

Joann, Mike Myers is currently filming one movie, has two in pre-production and another has been announced. I think he's too busy for this blind to be about him.

Eireman said...

lmao I love blinds that tell you straight out it's for laughs, too ridiculous to be true! I want to see a pic of Mel in the nose. Lainey's = Hulk maybe.

Could this be Swayze (sp?)?

Unknown said...

Swayze's a great guess. Definitely in a long career slump (though he does have a few minor projects listed for 2008 on imdb), no one would care if he came out, he has a not-so famous wife and was once famous enough that he might balk at doing DWTS.

The only trouble is that so far there's no news of them divorcing (they've been married for 33 years). And the BI says that the guy "lost his job." Not sure what job Swayze lost that anyone would know about.

takeme2espana said...

Thanks fester, I guess only time will tell. Imdb.com can be horribly off...I know that from experience!

Amy said...

All I can think for Lainie's is Hugh Jackman...isn't/wasn't he married with children? And I could imagine him in Dancing w the Stars, although he's probably too big for that.

J Ruth said...

I'm going with Brendan Fraser for Lainey's.

Unknown said...

What about Keifer? He was recently DUI-ed wasn't he? Was he a director though? I don't do my research? I just go with the gut. I'm sure it works for shit.

Unknown said...

Let's see. . . Brendan Fraser:
career low - check
longterm marriage recently ended - check
once earned big bank - check
no one cares about his gay status - eh, not these days

But even though BF is past it, he is still working. He just wrapped another Mummy film (do people still go to those??). Haven't heard about any high profile gigs he's lost either. AAAND. . . surely the Mummy paycheque will stave off any DWTS appearances??

Damn. Usually lainey's are straightforward.

Unknown said...

jackman has more xmen in the worksand he and swayze are already dancers, so dwts would be fixed.
