Which former A list television actress and now B list film queen has moved from the pot world to the smack world? What started off as a sometime thing smoking it has turned into a two or three time a day injection habit.
I think Jennifer Aniston is a great guess. Her pot-smoking habits are well-established rumor and it does say former tv actress, i.e., not on TV anymore--which rules out Katherine Heigl. (Aww, too bad!)
Jennifer A. is the first pothead to come to mind, but she looks pretty healthy. Heigle looks too healthy as well (and a bit heavy for someone doing heroin) so it is probably someone I just can't think of at the moment.
Wow, Aniston chases the dragon? Hard to believe, but she seems like the best guess to me. I wouldn't exactly call her a "film queen" but she has done all films, no TV since Friends mercifully went off the air.
Shiny_special. No, not chases the dragon. they're saying the SHOOTS it, like, with needles. Chasing the dragon is burning it on tin foil, and inhaling the smoke..... needles...yipes. I have no guess, but...yipes
Aniston seems ginormously narcissistic, but have you SEEN pictures of her lately? She doesn't exactly look like a heroin addict to me. She looks like someone who hits the yoga mat more than someone who hits the horsey.
What about an actress from an 80's television show or something? Friends was so popular that I think it's just naturally the first thing people think of, but it could be any number of other shows. What about a drama?
Okay. McGowan is an excellent guess. She has that druggy pallor WAY more than Aniston. And she's also in every new Rodriguez movie (and we all know why, yeah). For some reason, the use of the word "queen" indicated, to me, that she's sort of regulated to a particular genre or *style* of movie.
Was she ever A-list on television, though? I would think that Enty would have said A+ television actress if it were actually Aniston, but that might be giving it away.
Aniston was the first to come to my mind as well if only for the pot reference....but we've all seen her bikini shots recently - she'd have to be damn creative on her injection sites for there to be no bruising/marks from the needles.
I like the Heather L. guess! JA just doesn't have the pinned eyes like Heather looked to have in the last few pics I saw of her!! She also just got out of rehab!!!
I think Jen is too obvious of an answer--has to be someone we wouldn't think of, like Hillary Duff--not that I'm implying it's her, but someone we would never think of.
I actually kind of thought Heather also, bug I don't know if she is a movie queen--how many films has she actually done?
I agree with Ernestine that the use of the word "queen" indicates that she's sort of regulated to a particular genre or *style* of movie. And regularly appearing in films, not occasionally, like Locklear, Messing, Holmes, Parker, Electra, or Danes.
I got the impression SMG was a drunk--wasn't there something about her liking her vodka? I think the "queen" refers to the fact that she rules the B films, not that she is older.
I'm thinking Sarah Michelle Gellar with my first though. I love me some Buffy and all, but there is something weird with her and I wouldn't put drugs past her, even with her ENT informed prediction for Vodka.
this is going to be an unpopular guess, but what about Helen Hunt? Mad About You was on of the biggest shows in the 90's and she only does movies now, she is CRAZY skinny these days....
wow! that is some serious serious stuff...... i had some friends who were into that back in the late 90's when it all kinda started and lets just say two of them are dead. it's a really bad thing to get into and it's really hard to stop.....
but anyway, i thought the Claire Danes guess was a really good one, she'd prolly be considered Alist tv for My so Called Life, right? that was pretty critically aclaimed i think. and she's not really in any blockbuster movies anymore, more indie stuff, although i don't know if that could be considered "B" list.
the Rose McGowan one is EXCELLENT!!! i would def. say she is a "Blist film queen" that's her whole genre, that's what she's famous for!!!!!!! and i think that she def. has a darker personality and questionable friends/aquaintances (remember marilyn manson...hello?!?) i'm not sure what you have to be to be "Alist tv" but she was on Charmed for a VERY VERY VERY long time which actually had a HUUUUUUGE cult following.
it's def. not aniston. no way.
i'm trying to think of some other long running or popular tv shows where the actresses now do movies.
I say its Aniston. Friends was A list. She refuses to do tv anymore (regular working hours) and all her movies are def B list and stupid but she keeps showing up on the big screen somehow.
HOLY CRAP!!!! WHAT ABOUT BRITTANY MURPHY???? she has been looking reeeally bad lately, too skinny, face looks weird, very strange fashion, lots of scarves (maybe to cover up track marks on her neck which is where people shoot up if their arms are highly visable) plus she's got that weirdo husband.
i don't knw if she'd be considered "Alist tv" or not but her tv resume (via IMDB.com) is pretty impressive including Futurama, King of the Hill, Nash Bridges, Boy Meets World, Party of Five, Sister Sister, Blossom, and Frazier.
and even though i know she was in Girl Interrupted which as a seriously amazing movie and Sin City, everything else is pretty much Blist.
Here are the cross-over actresses that I could find from the top television shows that no longer do TV: Helen Hunt ** Sarah Michelle Gellar** Keri Russell Linda Cardellini Jennifer Aniston** Courtney Cox** Lisa Kudrow Lauren Graham Christina Applegate ** Claire Danes** Sara Jessica Parker Lauren Ambrose Katie Holmes Michelle Williams** Katherine Heigel Lara Flynn Boyle** Amy Brenneman Evan Rachel Wood** Heather Locklear** Neve Campbell Lacey Chabert
I considered Brittney Murphy too for a second, but she is definitely not A-List TV, she would have to be a regular on a hit show or emmy award winning show... I still say Helen Hunt just because that would be seriously shocking
Ooooh I have another guess, what about Mila Kunis. Wasn't her bf Mac Culkin one of the blinds for being a HUGE pot smoker, and she was in Forgetting Sara Marshall which was a big hit??? Is she now considered one of the Apatow crew???
Dudes, it's NOT Aniston. It's JUST not. I'm not a Jenny loyalist, but the woman is tanned, toned, golden-haired and glowy-skinned. A smack addict she is not.
Rose McGowan was in Charmed -- a show I never, ever watched, but it was pretty long-running. My grandfather loved it, but he's got a thing for Alyssa Milano. Oh, and I had TOTALLY forgotten about the Marilyn Manson thing! There's NO way she was with him for that long without doing a little dabbling. The only thing I really like about that douche is how he's straight-up honest about his drug use. As least he doesn't try to bullshit anyone. It's all part of his !DARK! and !SINISTER! persona. *rolls eyes.*
The Claire Danes guess is also excellent. MSCL WAS a critical DARLING. Critics shat their britches over that show. Whatever. I have the whole series on DVD and I'd still watch it for Rayanne Graff and Ricky alone. And she was pretty damned good on it, but I'd definitely say that Claire is solidly (only) a B film actress now. And she looks like SHIT. I don't care what anybody says -- that girl is too fucking thin. She is NOT naturally "that way."
I'm really afraid to even mention Brittany Murphy for obvious reasons. Loyal CDAN readers might know exactly why.
When you think about it, though, BM DOES have kind of an impressive television pedigree. She's been doing King of the Hill forever (oh, how I loathe every single character on that show. It's hard for me to forget sometimes that it's only a cartoon, but then I remember that it's followed by The Family Guy and all is right in my world again), and I didn't know about all that other shit.
Sailor -- THANK you for mentioning Blossom. Whoa! I also immediately think of Six and her melange of insane hats.
I forgot Rose Mcgowen who is a likely candidate, also what about Rachel Bilson? And I agree with ernestine, anyone who was with MM DEFINITELY dabbles, Rose and Even Rachel Wood (tv show once and again) both would fit.
What about Katie Holmes? I know everyone will disagree because of the Scientology stuff, BUT have you noticed she is always wearing sweaters in the middle of summer? Like every single picture of her has her arms covered up.
Queen would seem to indicate films for a while, not recent like Jen A or Heigl. Someone older - early to mid 90's era, perhaps. People did exist pre 2000, you know...
deezam! that one was impressive. sorry i missed the early guess. so my first thought was aniston, but she looks healthy, but people can get hooked fast - how soon do they start looking like doo doo? like rose mcgowan, but i just assumed she did it already along with brit murphy... mischa has been in some films, indie mostly if i'm not mistaken, but i don't think those would qualify her for a list. my gut says aniston, it's just going to take a while to show??
Don't know that much about drugs but, I was really surprised when someone mentioned that shooters wear scarves around their necks to cover bruises from shooting up.
Just saw a picture of Katie Holmes yesterday. She had a sweater on (long sleeves) and a scarf around her neck. The picture even pointed to a bruise on her neck. They mentioned abuse by her husband, but you never know. Could she have fallen into the wrong crowd in New York? You could never tell by looking at her eyes, she wears those damn big sun glasses. Besides that in the last week, she has been wearing those same nasty dirty baggie boy pants in every picture.
I wouldn't be surprised if Tommy boy is shooting her up, that is one way he could get custody of the children from her. Hey stranger things have happen.
But, my guess is Jennifer. That John guy is one strange and dark guy. Jennifer will do anything to keep a guy right now. God I hate to hear someone going this route. Time will tell who our girl is.
detroitrocker, you maybe onto something. Something very strange is going on with Katie! She looks awful and I wouldn't be surprise if Tom is shooting her up. That fucking bastard.
I think Katie Holmes would be a great guess, but I don't think the various Scientology minders would allow it. While I don't disagree with the notion that someone else might be drugging her, she never really had a rep as a pothead.
Aniston or Danes seem reasonable.
McGowan was never A list TV. Barton was never B list film. Murphy would be too, too obvious. Locklear hasn't really done THAT much film to be considered anything list, but she's certainly A list TV.
I cannot BUH-LEEEVE that no one has named the most logical answer!
But I'm pleased to:
Emmy Award-winning (twice, so to me that makes her A list) Kristen Johnston of "Third Rock From the Sun" fame.
Have you seen her stick figure lately?!?!?! She's denied having an eating disorder but hey, that's not a lie if you go from marijuana munchies to smack attacks!!!!!!
I like the Claire Danes guess....she is sickly skinny..
Kristen Johnston would be a great guess, but what movies has she been in? I remember her in "The Spy Who Shagged Me", but not enough to make her a B-List film queen, IMO.
... and YES... Brittany Murphy aka *Jordache Junkie" aka the BLACKMAILED WH0RE with the now 'DEAD' "career" is m"Em"tioned ONCE AGAIN IN A *drug-related* "Blind Item"... *insert banging head against wall in frustration smiley here*...
... really Ent... why don't you (or ANYONE "decent" IN Hollywood) JUST TAKE Britt TO FRIGGEN REHAB... and NOW?
you guys are all blind. did know one guess MISCHA BARTON????? hELLO??? she has been accused of doing heroin recently and has also been in a few films, one just premired at cannes.
J-Mo: read through these comments. Search for the freakshow. It won't take you very long. I think that Enty deletes *its* comments whenever he can, but the slimy little douchetard is a quick typist.
I'm actually starting to think that Brittany Murphy HERSELF is posting on this beloved blog.
Don't celebrities lurk once in a while? They HAVE to.
Anyway, Mischa is a bonafide druggie, but she is sure as shit NOT A-LIST ANYYYYTHING. And a movie queen? Most of her shit goes straight to video. TaTu, anyone?
Danes is still a good guess. So is McGowan. I just think that the 3rd Rock lady is tragically anorexic, not a junkie, and I don't know of any big films she's ever been in.
I still don't think it's Aniston. It would be too obvious. Everyone knows she's a pothead, but so are a LOT of people. She can afford the dank stuff. So what?
And Katie...yeah. The scarves and the sweaters in August weird me out, as well. As do the goddamn rolled-up size 26 pants, but we all collectively feel the same way, I think, so there's no need to rehash her awful sartorial decisions.
I would believe it, if Scientologists weren't so anti-drug. ALL drugs. Can you even take ADVIL if you're a Sci? They were the ones who started Narcanon, right?
Plus, Dawson's Creek was moderately big, I guess (the dialogue always annoyed the piss out of me so I never actually watched it), but I still wouldn't have called Katie an A-list t.v. star.
David Miscavige, head of Scientology, is a huge smoker. Many Scientologists are smokers (e.g., Kirstie Alley). And what did L. Ron Hubbard say about smoking in his oh-so infinite Xenu-as-godlike wisdom?: "Not smoking enough causes cancer."
So yeah, Scientologists don't believe in taking drugs, but if they can believe that smoking is okay, then perhaps that is something that Katie has taken up casually. It remains debatable if there are enough Scientology goons to watch her every move to prevent her from shooting up. But I like the comment upthread about Little Tommy shooting her up himself to make her an unfit mother.
(But I personally think Katie is being abused by Tommy for each time she even thinks about escaping that cult.)
Kaite looks a lot more depressed than drugged to me. Ent would never consider Mischa to be a B-list film actress. It's possible Ent might call Rose A-list tv, but it doesn't seem that likely. I wouldn't call Claire a B-list film queen. Courtney Cox is still on tv as her main gig (ditto Katherine H.). If this is a recent thing with Jen A, it might not have shown up in her looks yet. I hope it's not SMG, but she does seem to fit the best.
Wow. Just when I thought I couldn't detest Scientologists any more than I do right now. WOW.
So...it's shitty for Brooke Shields to take medicine that might make her a sunnier, more awake, more productive mother -- but it's totally cool to smoke cigarettes, because we all know how awesome secondhand smoke is, especially when it's blown at defenseless children who might find smoking disgusting. Again: WOW.
So, I guess it could be Katie, because she's a hell of a more credible guess than Mischa. It might explain her absolutely increasingly awful appearance over the past year or so. Sorry, but the gauntness, proclivity for baggy clothing, dull skin and a deadened look in the eyes can't merely be blamed on her life with Tommy Girl alone.
Is anyone else convinced that she's totally the victim of the blind where the super-powerful movie star was beating his wife? The way he leads her around BY THE WRISTS just creeps me out. That is NOT normal. My boyfriend jokingly tried to do that to me in public the other day and I could only stand it for about three seconds.
Mischa is NOT A-List. NEVER was. And I DID watch the O.C. and it was a shameful, guilty pleasure, but Mischa was gleefully killed off by the producers midway through the duration of the show. She's such a pathetic waste of everything that she couldn't even remain on the nighttime soap that made her famous in the first place.
And her finest film role will always be the Munchausen-by-Proxy victim in The Sixth Sense -- but she hardly qualifies as a "film queen." No way, no how. She's been the very obvious subject of drug-related blinds on this site and others, but it ain't her this time.
KatE Holmes is just suffering from $cientology. Some of the programs involve physical restraint. I wouldn't be surprised if her need to cover up is due to the processes Tom is forcing on her (either himself or through minions.) That bruise under her neck scarf (in 90+ degree heat) was creepy.
She reminds me of some abused and neglected kids I've seen in schools. They won't look you in the eye because they don't want to betray their families with a look of desperation, but their whole body language screams "Notice me! Something is wrong!"
Suri hasn't looked happy in ages, with that bottle addiction and her vacant eyes. So sad. Suri used to be so lively! It might be the paps and their cameras that scare her - in which case WHY DO HER PARENTS KEEP SEEKING THE LENSES, USING SURI AS A PROP FOR THEIR QUEST TO LOOK NORMAL!?
Effing weirdos! Every time they try to appear happy and normal it just backfires. Lunatics.
Parker Posey is too superior of talent and too possessing of class to be lumped in with any of these harlots. Promptly scratch her from the record, please. Let's forget her name was even brought up.
I've seen Posey do interviews drunk on more than one occasion. Luckily/unluckily? she's an entertaining drunk.
B-list and B-movie are getting a little blurred here. B-list movies are fairly successful, but not blockbusters. B-movies are low-budget exploitation flicks. I think the world "queen" got us into B-movies, because it's often used to describe B-movie stars. I think Ent's item could be interpreted either way.
I just checked IMBD to make sure, and Posey also hasn't done anything too noteworthy on television -- unless you count a few sitcom cameos and the obligatory hipster Simpsons voice work.
Not to shit all over your guess, baba charna, but I just view her as being waaaay above the chicks we've discussed so far. I don't even want to put Mischa and Parker in the same paragraph! *shudder*
I'm sure she's a cokehead, though. And a lush. She dated that pretentious douche Ryan Adams, after all. Sigh.
Marilyn Manson painted a picture of Angelina with needles sticking out of her arm, they are long time friends, Ted has all but plastered her name on his Fakey blind, and on his follow up blind for her for the ain't for what they have in common he used Ashely Judd for the AJ and Heather Lockler for the smack. That is my guess. Heather Locklear, former A list TV, so many tv shows, and definitely B list queen ..
Uhm.... may we suggest from left field... Pamela Anderson?
Just a thought, she seems like a good fit... Baywatch was huge, movies at best a B list, even the homemade ones.
But i gotta lean towards Anniston, would explain some of he recent relationships even before John Mayer like the guy that worked on her film in Vancouver... you don't go from Brad Pitt to local Grip unless you like some serious mind altering substance.
Speaking of Katie Holmes, I was reading a Rolling Stone interview of her taken 2 months into her relationship with Cruise and the interviewer found her eerie -- her Scientologist babysitter was with her and would prompt her, "...you adore him..." and then Katie would answer.
Ernestine, I was correcting the B-list Queen label, and then I got corrected - Parker Posey is the Indy Film queen. So, yesh, I agree...that I was wrong. But, I think a lot of the guesses are for actresses that are too new to the scene.
I think i'm on the Sara Michelle Gellar bandwagon. A list TV for Buffy and she's been in every horror movie over the last 5 years, Scooby Doo, and a long list of other crappy movies that seem to do okay at the box office...

D, I am friends with a married couple - they live in Brooklyn. He manages an organic food store in the area and she is a baker/caterer. They are both involved in the neighborhood. They know I love Parker Posey, so they send me stories (and occasional pictures) of her. He has a few stories of being yelled at by her, or his customers being in her way, where she has had complete meltdowns. Or was drunk. This was more during the Ryan Adams years.
I like the Rose McGowan and Evan Rachel Woods guesses, for what it's worth. The fact that they were both involved with MM is just coincidence, I'm sure...
Grace, I would love to read that interview with katie - can it be found online somewhere? and can someone explain why she has worn tboys jeans for the past four days?
According to her publicist, KatE is wearing those tired old dirty ill-fitting jeans because they are Tom's.
Yeah right. Tom's jeans would hit KatE in mid-calf, not spill over her feet and need rolling.
Publicist also mentioned that KatE is trying to invent a "look".
Why can't this couple get it? Everything they do feels forced, artificial and dumb. I get the feeling that Tom and KatE are very obtuse to the point of sheer stupidity.
Sarah Michelle Gellar is NOT B list movie star. She's in Scooby Doo, for fuck's sake. Strictly c, if that. Helen Hunt won an oscar, she's permanent A-. Aniston doesn't look like anyone who would be shooting drugs. At all.
. Brttany Murphy was the subject of a Perez blind recently as being a drug addict.
I didn't watch Buffy but its SMG. She picked up the habit from Michelle T (Harriet the Spy) her former co-star.
Sadly, once you go to the needle (whatever the drug), its near impossible to get off it successfully.
Though it can be hidden well--just ask Angelina Jolie and Dave Matthews.
My "local" pharmacy has a specific standing order for B12 needles. (This is the reason on the order form, not the size). 100 to a box, 10 boxes to a carton and 100 cartons in a pallet. There are two pallets delivered every month. I wonder if thats due to the very special celeb friend who is nearby?
If certain events ever started using metal detectors, I wonder how many people would be MIA?
Katherine Heigle
ReplyDeletePlease, tell me this is not Jennifer Aniston. I've never specially liked her, but that would be really awful.
ReplyDelete:(
oww, ed, say it ain't so. the 'grey's' producers are gonna laugh at this one.
ReplyDeleteshe's one silly twit.
I think Jennifer Aniston is a great guess. Her pot-smoking habits are well-established rumor and it does say former tv actress, i.e., not on TV anymore--which rules out Katherine Heigl. (Aww, too bad!)
ReplyDeletewould have said Aniston - cos she is a major pothead - but would say she was much of a 'film queen' anymore so I think Heigle is a good guess to
ReplyDeleteJennifer A. is the first pothead to come to mind, but she looks pretty healthy. Heigle looks too healthy as well (and a bit heavy for someone doing heroin) so it is probably someone I just can't think of at the moment.
ReplyDeleteIf we apply the Random Photos Theory.... Carmen Electra would seem to fit the definition.
ReplyDeleteWasn't Anniston the guess about an actress who took steroids to keep her weight down, miscarried, and that's why the marriage broke up?
ReplyDeleteI will say that Anniston looks good these days but you never know.
Wow, Aniston chases the dragon? Hard to believe, but she seems like the best guess to me. I wouldn't exactly call her a "film queen" but she has done all films, no TV since Friends mercifully went off the air.
ReplyDeleteCarmen has never been A list television. Nor
ReplyDeleteB list movie.
Sarah Jessica Parker?
ReplyDeleteShiny_special. No, not chases the dragon. they're saying the SHOOTS it, like, with needles. Chasing the dragon is burning it on tin foil, and inhaling the smoke..... needles...yipes. I have no guess, but...yipes
ReplyDeleteWhat about Katie Holmes? I missed the former A list.
ReplyDeletecarmen is not b list when it comes to film. either is sjp. this sounds like JA or someone not named by anyone yet.
ReplyDeleteAniston seems ginormously narcissistic, but have you SEEN pictures of her lately? She doesn't exactly look like a heroin addict to me. She looks like someone who hits the yoga mat more than someone who hits the horsey.
ReplyDeleteWhat about an actress from an 80's television show or something? Friends was so popular that I think it's just naturally the first thing people think of, but it could be any number of other shows. What about a drama?
Aniston for sure.
ReplyDeleteClaire Danes?
ReplyDeleteSupposedly a B-list actress/actor is known more for their personal antics than their movie roles.
ReplyDeleteAniston and Rose McGowan both fit this list.
Or what about Heather Locklear?
ReplyDeleteOkay. McGowan is an excellent guess. She has that druggy pallor WAY more than Aniston. And she's also in every new Rodriguez movie (and we all know why, yeah). For some reason, the use of the word "queen" indicated, to me, that she's sort of regulated to a particular genre or *style* of movie.
ReplyDeleteWas she ever A-list on television, though? I would think that Enty would have said A+ television actress if it were actually Aniston, but that might be giving it away.
Does that make any sense?
This is a togh one...I don't see Jennifer Anniston as a "B list film Queen".
ReplyDeleteHmmmm...have to think about this one...
This is a togh one...I don't see Jennifer Anniston as a "B list film Queen".
ReplyDeleteHmmmm...have to think about this one...
I don't see Rose as A list tv. I don't even really see her as B list film either. Maybe that but not tv. JMO
ReplyDeleteWhat about Courteney Cox? She used to have a major coke habit and her hubby is a major druggie.
ReplyDeleteAniston was the first to come to my mind as well if only for the pot reference....but we've all seen her bikini shots recently - she'd have to be damn creative on her injection sites for there to be no bruising/marks from the needles.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ragdoll, I stand corrected. :-)
ReplyDeleteAniston or Debra Messing?
ReplyDeleteAniston is not a film queen, period. I like the Claire Danes guess. Now, she, looks like a smack addict.
ReplyDeleteAniston looks too healthy. No way is it Jen.
ReplyDeleteI like the Heather L. guess! JA just doesn't have the pinned eyes like Heather looked to have in the last few pics I saw of her!! She also just got out of rehab!!!
ReplyDeleteI think Jen is too obvious of an answer--has to be someone we wouldn't think of, like Hillary Duff--not that I'm implying it's her,
ReplyDeletebut someone we would never think of.
I actually kind of thought Heather also, bug I don't know if she is a movie queen--how many films has she actually done?
How about Brittany Murphy? She did a ton of TV.
aniston.
ReplyDeleteQueen clue reminds me someone older like Cher.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Ernestine that the use of the word "queen" indicates that she's sort of regulated to a particular genre or *style* of movie. And regularly appearing in films, not occasionally, like Locklear, Messing, Holmes, Parker, Electra, or Danes.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Sarah Michelle Gellar? The "B list film queen" could be a reference to the fact that she is known for horro films...
ReplyDeleteI got the impression SMG was a drunk--wasn't there something about her liking her vodka?
ReplyDeleteI think the "queen" refers to the fact that she rules the B films, not that she is older.
I'm thinking Sarah Michelle Gellar with my first though. I love me some Buffy and all, but there is something weird with her and I wouldn't put drugs past her, even with her ENT informed prediction for Vodka.

ReplyDeletehow does Rose McGowan even fit for tv?
ReplyDeleteim going with QUEEN Latifah.
Alist tv for Living Single when it was on and B List movies..Dreamgirls, Stranger than Fiction etc.
Helen Hunt is a very good guess Kathryn. she was Princess Henrietta in The Frog Prince movie.
ReplyDeleteHOLY CRAP!!!! WHAT ABOUT BRITTANY MURPHY???? she has been looking reeeally bad lately, too skinny, face looks weird, very strange fashion, lots of scarves (maybe to cover up track marks on her neck which is where people shoot up if their arms are highly visable) plus she's got that weirdo husband.
ReplyDeletei don't knw if she'd be considered "Alist tv" or not but her tv resume (via IMDB.com) is pretty impressive including Futurama, King of the Hill, Nash Bridges, Boy Meets World, Party of Five, Sister Sister, Blossom, and Frazier.
and even though i know she was in Girl Interrupted which as a seriously amazing movie and Sin City, everything else is pretty much Blist.
i don't know, what do you guys think????
Oh God, it's Aniston. People have talked about her pot smoking ways but I never thought it'd get bad.
ReplyDeleteHere are the cross-over actresses that I could find from the top television shows that no longer do TV:
ReplyDeleteHelen Hunt **
Sarah Michelle Gellar**
Keri Russell
Linda Cardellini
Jennifer Aniston**
Courtney Cox**
Lisa Kudrow
Lauren Graham
Christina Applegate **
Claire Danes**
Sara Jessica Parker
Lauren Ambrose

Katherine Heigel
Lara Flynn Boyle**
Amy Brenneman
Evan Rachel Wood**
Heather Locklear**
Neve Campbell

I don't care what anybody says -- that girl is too fucking thin. She is NOT naturally "that way."
I'm really afraid to even mention Brittany Murphy for obvious reasons. Loyal CDAN readers might know exactly why.
When you think about it, though, BM DOES have kind of an impressive television pedigree. She's been doing King of the Hill forever (oh, how I loathe every single character on that show. It's hard for me to forget sometimes that it's only a cartoon, but then I remember that it's followed by The Family Guy and all is right in my world again), and I didn't know about all that other shit.
Sailor -- THANK you for mentioning Blossom. Whoa! I also immediately think of Six and her melange of insane hats.
I forgot Rose Mcgowen who is a likely candidate, also what about Rachel Bilson? And I agree with ernestine, anyone who was with MM DEFINITELY dabbles, Rose and Even Rachel Wood (tv show once and again) both would fit.
ReplyDeleteI think Sarah Jessica Parker is a good guess. May explain why she is looking slightly older, even though she appears to be attractive in movies.
ReplyDeleteI like the Helen Hunt guess. I don't like her..
ReplyDeleteHowever, Brit Murphy seems most likely.
I like King of the Hill. Perhaps you have to have lived in TX to fully appreciate the show?
Ernestine! Why are you afraid to mention Brittany Murphy? I'm a loyal reader, but it's not obvious to me!
ReplyDeleteWhat about Katie Holmes? I know everyone will disagree because of the Scientology stuff, BUT have you noticed she is always wearing sweaters in the middle of summer? Like every single picture of her has her arms covered up.
ReplyDeleteClare Danes? There is a picture of Ben Lee in Random photos; her former beau of 6 years...
ReplyDeleteQueen would seem to indicate films for a while, not recent like Jen A or Heigl. Someone older - early to mid 90's era, perhaps. People did exist pre 2000, you know...
ReplyDeletewhat about that chick from 3rd rock from the sun? she is REALLY skinny these days...

ReplyDeleteI don't know if Jennifer is the answer to this blind but rumor has it that her and John Mayer are doing tons of drugs together.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was Mischa Barton, but I can't remember whether she's done films at all.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if Katie was ever A list, but she's looking WAY too thin lately.
ReplyDeletedeezam! that one was impressive. sorry i missed the early guess. so my first thought was aniston, but she looks healthy, but people can get hooked fast - how soon do they start looking like doo doo? like rose mcgowan, but i just assumed she did it already along with brit murphy... mischa has been in some films, indie mostly if i'm not mistaken, but i don't think those would qualify her for a list. my gut says aniston, it's just going to take a while to show??
ReplyDeleteDon't know that much about drugs but, I was really surprised when someone mentioned that shooters wear scarves around their necks to cover bruises from shooting up.
ReplyDeleteJust saw a picture of Katie Holmes yesterday. She had a sweater on (long sleeves) and a scarf around her neck. The picture even pointed to a bruise on her neck. They mentioned abuse by her husband, but you never know. Could she have fallen into the wrong crowd in New York? You could never tell by looking at her eyes, she wears those damn big sun glasses. Besides that in the last week, she has been wearing those same nasty dirty baggie boy pants in every picture.
I wouldn't be surprised if Tommy boy is shooting her up, that is one way he could get custody of the children from her. Hey stranger things have happen.
But, my guess is Jennifer. That John guy is one strange and dark guy. Jennifer will do anything to keep a guy right now. God I hate to hear someone going this route. Time will tell who our girl is.
to me, Brittney Murphy wouldn't be a blind/surprise...I like the Heather Locklear choice...with all the shit that;s been going on with her lately...
ReplyDeletedetroitrocker, you maybe onto something. Something very strange is going on with Katie! She looks awful and I wouldn't be surprise if Tom is shooting her up. That fucking bastard.
ReplyDeleteI think Katie Holmes would be a great guess, but I don't think the various Scientology minders would allow it. While I don't disagree with the notion that someone else might be drugging her, she never really had a rep as a pothead.
ReplyDeleteAniston or Danes seem reasonable.
McGowan was never A list TV. Barton was never B list film. Murphy would be too, too obvious. Locklear hasn't really done THAT much film to be considered anything list, but she's certainly A list TV.
I cannot BUH-LEEEVE that no one has named the most logical answer!
ReplyDeleteBut I'm pleased to:
Emmy Award-winning (twice, so to me that makes her A list) Kristen Johnston of "Third Rock From the Sun" fame.
Have you seen her stick figure lately?!?!?! She's denied having an eating disorder but hey, that's not a lie if you go from marijuana munchies to smack attacks!!!!!!
LOL @Ernestine. **EM*azing! *Insert random blathering and confusing punctuation here*!
ReplyDeleteI like the Claire Danes guess....she is sickly skinny..
ReplyDeleteKristen Johnston would be a great guess, but what movies has she been in? I remember her in "The Spy Who Shagged Me", but not enough to make her a B-List film queen, IMO.
... *RACIST REDNECK/ILLEGAL DRUG-SHILLING ernestine is* PARANOID.
ReplyDelete... and YES... Brittany Murphy aka *Jordache Junkie" aka the BLACKMAILED WH0RE with the now 'DEAD' "career" is m"Em"tioned ONCE AGAIN IN A *drug-related* "Blind Item"... *insert banging head against wall in frustration smiley here*...
... really Ent... why don't you (or ANYONE "decent" IN Hollywood) JUST TAKE Britt TO FRIGGEN REHAB... and NOW?
you guys are all blind. did know one guess MISCHA BARTON????? hELLO??? she has been accused of doing heroin recently and has also been in a few films, one just premired at cannes.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it would be Jennifer. She looks way too healthy. Not one pic or story about her being drugged up or displaying odd behaviour.
ReplyDeleteI think Mischa Barton is a good guess. She is known to be a pothead.
I really doubt it's Aniston too, she has been looking so good nowadays, nothing like a heroin addict.
ReplyDeleteI think Kristen Johnston is a really good guess
J-Mo: read through these comments. Search for the freakshow. It won't take you very long. I think that Enty deletes *its* comments whenever he can, but the slimy little douchetard is a quick typist.
ReplyDeleteI'm actually starting to think that Brittany Murphy HERSELF is posting on this beloved blog.
Don't celebrities lurk once in a while? They HAVE to.
Anyway, Mischa is a bonafide druggie, but she is sure as shit NOT A-LIST ANYYYYTHING. And a movie queen? Most of her shit goes straight to video. TaTu, anyone?
Danes is still a good guess. So is McGowan. I just think that the 3rd Rock lady is tragically anorexic, not a junkie, and I don't know of any big films she's ever been in.
I still don't think it's Aniston. It would be too obvious. Everyone knows she's a pothead, but so are a LOT of people. She can afford the dank stuff. So what?
And Katie...yeah. The scarves and the sweaters in August weird me out, as well. As do the goddamn rolled-up size 26 pants, but we all collectively feel the same way, I think, so there's no need to rehash her awful sartorial decisions.
I would believe it, if Scientologists weren't so anti-drug. ALL drugs. Can you even take ADVIL if you're a Sci? They were the ones who started Narcanon, right?
Plus, Dawson's Creek was moderately big, I guess (the dialogue always annoyed the piss out of me so I never actually watched it), but I still wouldn't have called Katie an A-list t.v. star.
Last night stupid Blogger would not upload my guess--but it was Mischa Barton.
ReplyDeleteScreams her all the way.
Hasn't touched a piece of healthy anything in a long time, or had any exercise, either, from the looks of it.
...And I would put Mischa as A List for TV for The OC.
ReplyDeleteNever watched it (perish the thought) but it looked and sounded huge there for a while...
I agree with Jagerlilly, I think it's someone who is quite a bit older. I'm going to do a little research and come back...
ReplyDeleteKristen Johnston says she lost weight due to a bleeding ulcer, so, take that for what it's worth.
David Miscavige, head of Scientology, is a huge smoker. Many Scientologists are smokers (e.g., Kirstie Alley). And what did L. Ron Hubbard say about smoking in his oh-so infinite Xenu-as-godlike wisdom?: "Not smoking enough causes cancer."
ReplyDeleteSo yeah, Scientologists don't believe in taking drugs, but if they can believe that smoking is okay, then perhaps that is something that Katie has taken up casually. It remains debatable if there are enough Scientology goons to watch her every move to prevent her from shooting up. But I like the comment upthread about Little Tommy shooting her up himself to make her an unfit mother.
(But I personally think Katie is being abused by Tommy for each time she even thinks about escaping that cult.)
Y'all are just getting around now to noticing how bad Katie Holmes looks?!?!? Welcome to last year!
ReplyDeleteKaite looks a lot more depressed than drugged to me. Ent would never consider Mischa to be a B-list film actress. It's possible Ent might call Rose A-list tv, but it doesn't seem that likely. I wouldn't call Claire a B-list film queen. Courtney Cox is still on tv as her main gig (ditto Katherine H.). If this is a recent thing with Jen A, it might not have shown up in her looks yet. I hope it's not SMG, but she does seem to fit the best.
ReplyDeleteWow. Just when I thought I couldn't detest Scientologists any more than I do right now. WOW.
ReplyDeleteSo...it's shitty for Brooke Shields to take medicine that might make her a sunnier, more awake, more productive mother -- but it's totally cool to smoke cigarettes, because we all know how awesome secondhand smoke is, especially when it's blown at defenseless children who might find smoking disgusting. Again: WOW.
So, I guess it could be Katie, because she's a hell of a more credible guess than Mischa. It might explain her absolutely increasingly awful appearance over the past year or so. Sorry, but the gauntness, proclivity for baggy clothing, dull skin and a deadened look in the eyes can't merely be blamed on her life with Tommy Girl alone.
Is anyone else convinced that she's totally the victim of the blind where the super-powerful movie star was beating his wife? The way he leads her around BY THE WRISTS just creeps me out. That is NOT normal. My boyfriend jokingly tried to do that to me in public the other day and I could only stand it for about three seconds.
Mischa is NOT A-List. NEVER was. And I DID watch the O.C. and it was a shameful, guilty pleasure, but Mischa was gleefully killed off by the producers midway through the duration of the show. She's such a pathetic waste of everything that she couldn't even remain on the nighttime soap that made her famous in the first place.
And her finest film role will always be the Munchausen-by-Proxy victim in The Sixth Sense -- but she hardly qualifies as a "film queen." No way, no how. She's been the very obvious subject of drug-related blinds on this site and others, but it ain't her this time.
Helen Hunt won an Oscar; sbe's A-list film.
ReplyDeleteNo way is this Jennifer Aniston. She make toke now and again, but she looks way too healthy to be hitting the smack.
I agree that queen seems to indicate a genre of movies. Rose McGowan is good guess, but I am unsure of her A-list TV status.
And it says "former," so Katherine Heigl is also ruled out.
KatE Holmes is just suffering from $cientology. Some of the programs involve physical restraint. I wouldn't be surprised if her need to cover up is due to the processes Tom is forcing on her (either himself or through minions.) That bruise under her neck scarf (in 90+ degree heat) was creepy.
ReplyDeleteShe reminds me of some abused and neglected kids I've seen in schools. They won't look you in the eye because they don't want to betray their families with a look of desperation, but their whole body language screams "Notice me! Something is wrong!"
Suri hasn't looked happy in ages, with that bottle addiction and her vacant eyes. So sad. Suri used to be so lively! It might be the paps and their cameras that scare her - in which case WHY DO HER PARENTS KEEP SEEKING THE LENSES, USING SURI AS A PROP FOR THEIR QUEST TO LOOK NORMAL!?
Effing weirdos! Every time they try to appear happy and normal it just backfires. Lunatics.
That said, I'm voting Rose McGowan on this BI.
ReplyDeleteI'm going with SMG.
ReplyDeleteThe only person who's allowed to be called the B-List Film Queen is Parker Posey. The end.
ReplyDeleteMichelle Williams and Anna Faris, Carmen Electra, Bijou Phillips, Evan Rachel Wood...
ReplyDeleteI'd buy Parker Posey but I don't think she was ever A-list TV because yes, I would say she 'b-list film queen' would be a great way to describe her.
ReplyDeleteIndie film queen, maybe.
ReplyDeleteParker Posey is too superior of talent and too possessing of class to be lumped in with any of these harlots. Promptly scratch her from the record, please. Let's forget her name was even brought up.
First time posting, so please be gentle...Ben Lee is in the randoms and he dated Claire Danes for a few years...could it be a clue?
ReplyDeleteParker Posey is the indie film queen, not the b-movie film queen.
ReplyDeleteThen what the heck defines a B movie?
ReplyDeleteUm, and Parker Posey has her own substance abuse problems - notorious in NYC.
ReplyDeletebaba charna, do tell about Parker Posey?
ReplyDeleteI've seen Posey do interviews drunk on more than one occasion. Luckily/unluckily? she's an entertaining drunk.
ReplyDeleteB-list and B-movie are getting a little blurred here. B-list movies are fairly successful, but not blockbusters. B-movies are low-budget exploitation flicks. I think the world "queen" got us into B-movies, because it's often used to describe B-movie stars. I think Ent's item could be interpreted either way.
I just checked IMBD to make sure, and Posey also hasn't done anything too noteworthy on television -- unless you count a few sitcom cameos and the obligatory hipster Simpsons voice work.
ReplyDeleteNot to shit all over your guess, baba charna, but I just view her as being waaaay above the chicks we've discussed so far. I don't even want to put Mischa and Parker in the same paragraph! *shudder*
I'm sure she's a cokehead, though. And a lush. She dated that pretentious douche Ryan Adams, after all. Sigh.
And yes, DO tell!! Please?
Marilyn Manson painted a picture of Angelina with needles sticking out of her arm, they are long time friends, Ted has all but plastered her name on his Fakey blind, and on his follow up blind for her for the ain't for what they have in common he used Ashely Judd for the AJ and Heather Lockler for the smack. That is my guess. Heather Locklear, former A list TV, so many tv shows, and definitely B list queen ..
ReplyDeleteUhm.... may we suggest from left field... Pamela Anderson?
ReplyDeleteJust a thought, she seems like a good fit... Baywatch was huge, movies at best a B list, even the homemade ones.
But i gotta lean towards Anniston, would explain some of he recent relationships even before John Mayer like the guy that worked on her film in Vancouver... you don't go from Brad Pitt to local Grip unless you like some serious mind altering substance.
What about an Olsen?
ReplyDeleterose mcgowan, FTW....
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Katie Holmes, I was reading a Rolling Stone interview of her taken 2 months into her relationship with Cruise and the interviewer found her eerie -- her Scientologist babysitter was with her and would prompt her, "...you adore him..." and then Katie would answer.
ReplyDeleteWierd.
Ernestine, I was correcting the B-list Queen label, and then I got corrected - Parker Posey is the Indy Film queen. So, yesh, I agree...that I was wrong. But, I think a lot of the guesses are for actresses that are too new to the scene.
ReplyDeleteI think i'm on the Sara Michelle Gellar bandwagon. A list TV for Buffy and she's been in every horror movie over the last 5 years, Scooby Doo, and a long list of other crappy movies that seem to do okay at the box office...

ReplyDeleteD, I am friends with a married couple - they live in Brooklyn. He manages an organic food store in the area and she is a baker/caterer. They are both involved in the neighborhood. They know I love Parker Posey, so they send me stories (and occasional pictures) of her. He has a few stories of being yelled at by her, or his customers being in her way, where she has had complete meltdowns. Or was drunk. This was more during the Ryan Adams years.
ReplyDeleteI like the Rose McGowan and Evan Rachel Woods guesses, for what it's worth. The fact that they were both involved with MM is just coincidence, I'm sure...
ReplyDeleteGrace, I would love to read that interview with katie - can it be found online somewhere? and can someone explain why she has worn tboys jeans for the past four days?
ReplyDeleteAccording to her publicist, KatE is wearing those tired old dirty ill-fitting jeans because they are Tom's.
ReplyDeleteYeah right. Tom's jeans would hit KatE in mid-calf, not spill over her feet and need rolling.
Publicist also mentioned that KatE is trying to invent a "look".
Why can't this couple get it? Everything they do feels forced, artificial and dumb. I get the feeling that Tom and KatE are very obtuse to the point of sheer stupidity.
Kristen Johnston from Third Rock
ReplyDeleteSMG definitely. And I say this as a Buffy fanatic. Girl's looking thinner and thinner in each film.
ReplyDeleteSarah Michelle Gellar is NOT B list movie star. She's in Scooby Doo, for fuck's sake. Strictly c, if that. Helen Hunt won an oscar, she's permanent A-. Aniston doesn't look like anyone who would be shooting drugs. At all.
ReplyDelete. Brttany Murphy was the subject of a Perez blind recently as being a drug addict.
I didn't watch Buffy but its SMG. She picked up the habit from Michelle T (Harriet the Spy) her former co-star.
ReplyDeleteSadly, once you go to the needle (whatever the drug), its near impossible to get off it successfully.
Though it can be hidden well--just ask Angelina Jolie and Dave Matthews.
My "local" pharmacy has a specific standing order for B12 needles. (This is the reason on the order form, not the size).
100 to a box, 10 boxes to a carton and 100 cartons in a pallet. There are two pallets delivered every month. I wonder if thats due to the very special celeb friend who is nearby?
If certain events ever started using metal detectors, I wonder how many people would be MIA?
