Today's Blind Items

This one is stranger than Slash's mom having sex with David Bowie while Bowie's wife and kid wait in the living room for them to finish.

This former B list television actor on one of the biggest network dramas ever, and now a C list actor with B+ name recognition has some strange rules in his home. He and his wife have kids.

1. Apparently both of the parents are obsessed with germs and bugs (the insect kind, not the germ kind.) Each child must inspect the other children for any ticks or fleas on the body of the other before they go to sleep each night.

2. Each child must wash and dry all their bed linens every day.

3. No sugar in the house. None.

4. The parents take turns sleeping on the floor of each child's bedroom once weekly to ensure the children are sleeping normally. (not sure how they do this if the parents themselves are asleep)

5. Despite the fact that all the children are in at least elementary school, they each have a baby monitor in their room so the parents know what they are doing at all times.

6. Because of the germ phobia, any guests of the kids who come over to play are confined to one room of the house, and one room only. No sleep overs.

  1. Slash's mom was a costume designer for David Bowie way back when.

  2. WOW Slash's mom and David Bowie, now that was a good one. With Slash being mixed, is his mom English or Nigerian?

    ReplyDelete
  3. His mother is Nigerian

  4. Noah Wyle? He's been seen recently. I have no clue.

    Hm some of those rules arent SO bad. No sugar? Thats just a damn good idea, one that I still enforce (but unfortunately, my baby daddy does not). The baby monitor ain't so bad either--at least they aren't tacking cell phones onto their tykes.

  6. i immediately thought of noah too

    ReplyDelete
  7. I thought of Dylan McDermott. No idea why...

    Or, to continue the ER track - a good track - Anthony Edwards has more name rec than Noah Wylie, I think...

    does he fit?

    ReplyDelete
  8. yes, anthony edwards fits... i'm going w/that!

    ReplyDelete
  9. Number 3 for Noah Wyle.

    "one of the biggest network dramas ever"

    ER
    LA Law
    M*A*S*H... ?

    Too lazy to think of more.

    Smells like Teen Rebellion brewing.

  11. I immediately thought Anthony Edwards for some reason. He has a wife and four kids...

    ReplyDelete
  12. My two cents.... Anthony Edwards fits perfect. Great Guess!! and, Bad Fish, I totally agree. All these kids running around with cell phones is ridiculous. I wish I could slap their parents.

    ReplyDelete
  13. no kidding Brenda! every kid i went to school with who had jacked up rules like no sugar are ALL fat now! everything in moderation!
    extremes either way are never good.

    these parents need to get a life.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I just saw the name Slash and thought that by some miracle it was Friday and I was finally going to get treated to some Nekkid pics of him.

    And then I realised it's Monday.

    Who was in an interview recently talking about their germophobia?

    ReplyDelete
  15. This sounds like a story that ran away and became something big and ferocious. Part of it is probably true and the rest is probably crap.

    Like the story of Angeline Jolie giving her sister-in-law's kid a violent video game for Xmas. Sounded made up and phoney.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I forgot to mention that the David Bowie story explain's Slash's own lifestyle.

    ReplyDelete
  17. My first thought was Noah Wyle but Anthony Edwards would fit, too. Hmmmm...

    ReplyDelete
  18. Damn .. not sure who it is .. but poor kids! Living in a OCD household has got to suck beyond even this tiny description of their lives. Wow .. so sad. :/

    ReplyDelete
  19. what! they haven't installed GPS tracking device under the kids' skin yet?

    pfft! amateurs!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Um. I think Slash/David Bowie was a joke.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Dunno why, but I thought Corbin Bernsen or what about Harry Hamlin? He and Lisa have young kids?

    ReplyDelete
  22. I don't think it is Anthony Edwards; his wife is Jeanne Lobell, founder of Stilla cosmetics. She's very normal and rather laid back. Don't think it is Noah either; he's got a horse farm in the Ojai area, and where there are horses there are all kinds of bugs and rodents (eating grain in the barn).

    No idea who it is, but they need psychiatric help in a big way.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Cali

    I thought Harry Hamlin/Lisa Rinna too

    ReplyDelete
  24. I have no idea why or where I read this but Angie Harmon is a freak about not letting her girls have sugar. Her daughters will probably grow up anorexic like her.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I immediately thought of Corbin as well. No idea why but he does have older children with Amanda Pays

    ReplyDelete
  26. Could it be Howie Mandel? Long, long ago he was on St. Elsewhere, and is a known germaphobe.

    Also, Slash's mom was Roxie Roker, who played Helen Willis on The Jeffersons.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Roxie was Lenny Kravitz' mom.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Adrian, you're right. Big oops on my part. Thanks for setting me straight.

    ReplyDelete
  29. I'm like Cliff Clavin--I am full of useless facts!!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Anthony Edwards and his daughters were recently photographed eating ice cream bars, which probably rules him out. Noah Wyle's youngest is only 2 or 3, as is Dylan McDermott's younger daughter. Plus, he's divorced.
    Also, does Harry Hamlin have B+ name recognition?

    What about someone like Rick Schroeder? He had a career as a child actor, but was on NYPD Blue. People recognize his name, but what has he done lately? Plus, his kids are all school age or older.

    ReplyDelete
  31. I think Harry has recognition. What's bigger than Clash of the Titans? Love that movie.

    C list actor now kinda fits too, IMO.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I think LA Law was pretty big back in it's day

    ReplyDelete
  33. I have no idea but it sounds like it belongs on 'i am neurotic.com'

    ReplyDelete
  34. What about Howie Mandel? He was on St. Elsewhere back in the day and has some well-documented germ issues.

    And Slash talked about all that stuff on Howard Stern earlier this year.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Ricky Schroder converted to Mormonism, if that means anything in terms of this BI. With the strong commitment to family and the LDS community, I would think that sleepovers would be encouraged.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Mormons are against caffeine so maybe they are also against sugar..

    Also, those poor kids will never have sex when they are older. Can you imagine the thought of germs and guilt they will feel? They will have to shower afterward!

    ReplyDelete

    No what will happen is the exact opposite, they will be wallowing in venereal diseases with Amy Winehouse-type people.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Hey, nothing wrong with a quick shower afterwards. Although the skin can get a little dried out if it's wild jungle sex night. Not that I'd know anything about that...

    ReplyDelete
  39. Naw, I'm Mormon and I eat lots of sugar. No one's kicked me out yet. :)

    ReplyDelete
  40. I vote Don Johnson of Miami Vice fame.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Biggest netword drama ever - I was thinking something along the lines of Dallas. Does that Patrick guy have young kids?

    And Slash was on Howard Stern - he told that story. Its true.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I think I'll go with the Noah Wiley guess also. Doens't he have a bunch of kids?

    My counsin won't let her kids have any sugar either, so they just gorge on it whenever they are out of her sight.

    ReplyDelete
  43. califblondy....you made me spit diet coke all over the laptop! HAHAHA...

    ReplyDelete
  44. How about Howie Mandell? St. Elsewhere was a huge show back in the '80s. He's a notorious germphobe and you might say he's back to B+ status thanks to the popularity of Deal or No Deal. I think more average Americans (like say my parents) would know his name over Noah Wylie at this point.

    ReplyDelete
  45. The lead from J.A.G.

    ReplyDelete
  46. David James Elliot is the lead guy from JAG.

    They are probably talking sugar products of any kind, and not just cereal. Sounds like they only have meat and vegetables, and zero fruit because of the sugar.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Would JAG be considered one of the best dramas of all time? I don't think so.

    I don't think being Mormon has anything to do with not eating sugar. I dated a Mormon years ago and we went to Dairy Queen after church every Sunday. Heck, who wouldn't go to church for a Buster Bar?

    ReplyDelete
  48. It'll be someone from Law & Order. Ben Bratt, maybe?

    ReplyDelete
  49. Guess I could see this being Howie... but that's NO secret. ?

    ReplyDelete
  50. the children's ages don't work for noah wyle, i'll guess rob lowe/west wing/ c list work and b+ name recognition

    ReplyDelete
  51. #1 Our HIV+ singer was asked by her local health department who she had sex with so they could be notified. There are some rumors that this list is up for sale.....
    Well I read a couple of places that it was Ashley Tisdale (rumored) to be

    ReplyDelete
  52. Really can't be Anthony Edwards. Jeannie Lobell (his wife) is a big name in the makeup biz - can't be scared of germs when you're always poking at people's faces.

    Noah Wyle came to mind, for me. But I like the Harry Hamlin and Howie Mandel guesses. Both bigger names than careers.

    ReplyDelete
  53. "Would JAG be considered one of the best dramas of all time? I don't think so. "

    Did the blind say "best" dramas of all time? I don't think so.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Howie Mandell. All of the clues just point to him.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Angie Harmon is a good guess - Law and Order.

    ReplyDelete
  56. I think Noah Wylie's wife is a make-up artist too (and they have all those animals) - plenty of germs there.
    Don Johnson? From what I hear he is about as discerning as Paris Hilton. Yeah, he gets around (meeoow)!
