Today's Blind Items

#1 This one is from the accountant. Turns out, this A list movie star is bad at something else besides fixing his hair. Last year, he managed to lose almost $7 million playing poker. No wonder he wants to make another installment of his franchise.

#2 This famous twin is doing whatever she can to start pregnancy speculation just to get some positive publicity. She's gone so far as to make sure that others know she can't drink or smoke, especially in public, and taking to wear even more hideous and baggy clothing than usual.

    #1 Ben Affleck hehehe
    #2 one of the Olsen Twins

    ReplyDelete
  3. #1 Bill Murray - they're making another Ghostbusters

    ReplyDelete
  4. Or Nic Cage for #1.

    ReplyDelete
  5. If it is Nic Cage, would that be another National Treasure movie? Because man, I could totally go for another one of those!

    My first thought on #1 was Affleck, but he doesn't really have a franchise of movies. But he sure does play poker!

    ReplyDelete
  6. #1 Nic Cage

    #2 MKO (Mary Kate Olson

    ReplyDelete
  7. Nic or Bill Murray

    and MKO

    ReplyDelete
  8. for number one, does Tobey Maguire have bad hair?

    ReplyDelete

  10. Yes, what spascat cat said.

    Also, according to Lainey, Nic's wife is spending him out of house and home so that's another reason to keep making National Treasure movies.

    ReplyDelete
  11. A new "Spiderman" movie was recently announced, so my guess for #1 would be Tobey. Not sure about the bad hair, though

    ReplyDelete
  12. Matt Damon also plays poker. Another Bourne? movie?

    ReplyDelete
  13. #2 just screams Olson with the baggy clothes, smoking and drinking comment.

    not sure bill murray or brendan frasier are a list? sounds like nic cage to me, too.

    ReplyDelete
  14. when i think of bad hair i think of: brendan frazer, nicholas cage, and john travolta

    i honestly think its brendan frazer because he has the worst hair of all and has the mummy franchise that will not die!
    national treasure will not die, either...


    famous twins?
    cant be scarlett johannsen because she actually dresses okay.
    baggy clothing more baggy than usual? has to be MKO

    ReplyDelete
  15. Matt Damon came to mind for #1, but I haven't noticed anything weird about his hair, so perhaps Nic Cage, whose hair is always odd, is a better guess.

    One of the Olsens for #2.

    ReplyDelete
  16. 1 - Nic Cage
    2 - an Olsen - the one that was doing Heath Ledger

    ReplyDelete
  17. YES!! Another National Treasure!!! Whooooo!!!!

    Is 2 even a blind?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Oh GOD, the second one is an Olsen isn't it. Who the heck ELSE could it be?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Anonymous1:45 PM

    ENT thanks for throwing us a bone occasionally. Even I know #2!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  20. former lurker here..

    1. how bout Peter Parker himself...Tobey Maguire.

    2. the poor olsen twin... not the one with $$..the other one.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Yeah! Someone else likes the National Treasure movies besides me!

    ReplyDelete
  22. #2-one of the Olli Sisters? LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  23. I can't put all the clues together to get the right answer for #1...I don't think it's any of the main 3 mentioned with hair issues...

    ReplyDelete
  24. Lainey Gossip had a blind called "bad-haired and bug-eyed" about an actor of a franchise, and everyone guessed Brendon Fraser. Nic also has very bad hair.

    Almost exactly a year ago, Mary-Kate Olsen went on Conan O'Brien and announced she was pregnant, which of course was a joke.

    ReplyDelete
  25. ummm, maybe I was wrong:

    http://www.google.com/search?q=nic+cage%2C+poker&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=ie7&rlz=1I7ADBS

    very interesting...

    you can do the same search for Fraser with some interesting results...

    ReplyDelete
  26. Nic Cage also has to pay the tax man a hefty sum.

    And just when I thought I'd never get one of these blinds.... thanks Enty for this one.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I don't think it's Nic because he's suppose to be real cheap.

    I watch a lot of poker and Toby is at the table quite a bit.

    ReplyDelete
  28. 1 Nic Cage/Brendan Fraiser not sure which one
    2 Mary Kate Trollson

    ReplyDelete
  29. Kristen S--we loved the National Treasure movies. I wouldn't mind another few.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Oh, god, that baby will come out looking anorexic with nicotine stains. Yuck!

    ReplyDelete
  31. i was thinking Revolta,but do scientologists gamble?
    well other than their careers and sanity.

    2- MK trolsen.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Anonymous2:30 PM

    Easiest blinds in awhile:

    1) Nic Cage - in promoting Bangkok Dangerous was talking about how they're going to make Ghost Rider 2. (Sorry National Treasure lovers, though I'd love to see Helen Mirren in that role again.)

    2) MK Olsen. She's the homeless looking one.

    ReplyDelete
  33. if i were heath ledger and i died with everyone speculating i was fucking an olsen, i think i'd die all over again.

    ReplyDelete
  34. didn't nic also have to sell one of his homes or something? i thought i read something that made me feel like he was having some financial problems.

    ReplyDelete
  35. LOL @ Julie.

    #1 Nic Cage
    #2 An Olsen

    ReplyDelete
  36. Nic Cage, Mary Kate Olsen

    ReplyDelete
  37. #1 Brendan Frasier probably isn't even B list anymore. My guess is Ben Affleck because his plugs are the worst and he is a gambler. Don't know about the sequel though.

    #2 Mary Kate

    ReplyDelete
  38. Seriously, does Brendan Frasier have 7 mil to spend on poker? Nic Cage was first thought.

    #2: MKO

    ReplyDelete
  39. Brendan Frasier is NOT A list...

    it's obviously Nic Cage...

    ReplyDelete
  40. molly, i think bill murray will always be a list-- i know i will see a movie just because he's in it (and i was horribly disappointed in a couple of them, that one he did in japan with scar-ho, and that "live aquatic" one).
    i even loved the idea of him stealing the golf cart in france or where ever it was!
    cage or frasier (although i love brendan) not so much a list.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I think #1 could be Tobey Macguire (sp?). I just read something the other day about how he just signed on for the 4th and 5th installment of Spiderman, and I'm pretty sure that he's part of that whole young-hollywood-poker-players group.

    #2 Definitely MK Olsen. Ashley has changed her style over the past year, but MK still dresses like a bag lady.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I was thinking MK Olson because of all the bad publicity she received from Heath Ledgers death. Collin Ferell for for the first one, altho Ben Affleck and Matt Damon are both known poker players, but neither of them have bad hair.

    ReplyDelete
  43. I was thinking Colin Ferell strictly for the bad hair and the fact he seems like he could have a gambling vice, however, I don't think he has a franchise so scratch that.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I'm with the thought that there is no way that Brandon Frazier has 7 mil let alone 7 mil to blow. Nic Cage for sure. Shitty hair gambler. LOL

    MKO. That's not even blind! Although most are when they see her.

    ReplyDelete
  45. 1. My first thought was Tobey Maguire, but he doesn't have bad hair.

    Brendan Fraser is not A list.

    Nic Cage -- talk about shit hair. Shoe polished plugs. Ugh!

    2. MK Olsen. Seriously, who else wears tents on a regular basis?

    ReplyDelete
  46. Mary-Kate must have got the idea from Nicole Ritchie.
    Just as long as it's only speculation.

    On a separate note, 90210 aired in Australia last night. AWESOME!

    ReplyDelete
  47. bionic bunny, thnx! i never where most of these people fall on the a, b, c, or d lists unless it's really obvious they're a list.

    ReplyDelete
  48. About Brendan not being A list, Ent. has made disclaimers before about having to consider certain male action starts A list b/c of being able to open action movies and have their franchises, but that they are the same as girls being able to open a horror movie and not really being A list either. ugh, I suck, I'll just dig thru the site and find the explanation in Ent's own words.

    ReplyDelete
  49. We know Enty's definition, but he doesn't always agree with them. May I direct you the Rob Schneider-related BI from Friday?

    Enty described him as A list by definition, but in reality, not so much.

    Besides, I would say Brendan has had minimal to do with the success of The Mummy franchise. He was never that big, even when the original was released.

    ReplyDelete
  50. 1. Nic Cage. Bad hair, tyring to sell LA home (even dropped $5-7 mil on the price).

    Gambling - no offense but you all think of who's on the celeb poker TV shows. LOL. Casinos have private rooms where only the guest plays and its against the house. That's where the big dangerous playing is done. Gambling for the moneyed ($100K minimum bets) is not done with strangers at public tables. Sometimes its the ones you don't see.

    2. Twins. Literally I'll go with Mary Kate Olsen. Figuratively I'll go with Jessica Simpson who's been wearing loose baggy clothes, trying to sing and talking about Tony Romo being her future baby's daddy - since sister Ashlee is getting all the attention right now with her pregnancy and twins rumor.

    ReplyDelete
  51. #1 Nic Cage since his hair is horrible!

    One of the Olson's (probably MK) fits #2, but what about Jenna Bush or Alanis Morisette (both twins and not particularly great dressers) or Scarlett Johanson?

    ReplyDelete
  52. Amster you scared me - I thought an Alexander II was going to come out.

    ReplyDelete
  53. 1-Mel Gibson

    Lethal Weapon 5

    2-one of the olsens

    ReplyDelete
  54. Anonymous6:50 PM

    #1 Nic Cage - He's A list b/c of the Oscar win, and he opens movies regularly.

    #2 MK Olsen - pathetic, rich mess that she is.

    BTW, does anyone remember the blind about the 4 people (none of them were born in the US according to Ent) who were mixed up with each other. Woman #1 had a baby with Man #2, then Woman #3 also got pregnant by him but didn't tell anyone and instead was going to tell another man - Man #4 - that it was his...
    Sorry for the poor wording!
    Anyway, was Woman #1 Salma Hayek, Man #2 her baby daddy, Woman #3 Minnie Driver, and Man #4 ??
    Just wondering, 'cuz the news about the birth of Minnie D.'s son got me wondering again.

    ReplyDelete
  57. ea73, good call on that blind. Sounds like it fits.

    These seem pretty obvious...

    Ben Afleck has been sporting some bad hair recently.

    And Scar Jo is a twin??

    ReplyDelete
  58. wow! i actually got one!

    #1 is tobey. signed on to do spidey 4&5

    #2 is mary kate.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Brendan Frasier comes to mind.

    One of the troll doll Olsen twins. But which one isn't that desperate?

    ReplyDelete
  60. Travolta likes planes, and jets, and uniforms, and hot co-pilots. Never has he been a gambler

    I wish every BI didn't end up being Nic Cage. He's such a freak he can be plugged in anywhere. He owns a huge house in NOLA which was previously owned by of one of the most extreme sadists in history. It's some real Angel Heart shit. The place is supposed to be haunted.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Welp, looks like it's not MK Olsen since there is a pic of her on TMZ today swigging a beer. So it's either Ashley, or misinformation.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Ally- what is Travoltas movie franchise?

    Why Tobey Maguire? He doesn't have bad hair, at least I don't think.....when I think bad hair I think Nicolas Cage, long, greasy, and gross.

    Poor Nicolas Cage. I would feel worse for him about Bangcock Dangerous if he wasn't rumored to be such a creepy jerk.

    ReplyDelete
  63. I say this is karma for Nicholas Cage being a creepy jerk. This and his wife. I hope she makes him file for bankruptcy!

    MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  64. Hmmm, I did forward Enty a website with pics of Nic Cage's bad hairstyles over the years a couple of weeks ago. :)

    Don't worry folks, there will definitely be a National Treasure 3 - #2 made more than #1 (over $200 million). And DN, I agree, they'd better get Helen Mirren back for it. :)

    ReplyDelete
  65. I could be very wrong, but I think that tragically I heard they are making more of the Wild Hog movies...and the Look Who's Talking brilliance had a few made. But that is just my guess. I don't see Brandon Frasier as A list and Travolta's hair is THE worst besides Trumps, thats all I got!

    ReplyDelete
  66. ea73 -
    Page 6 printed an item saying that Linda Evangelista's son was by Salma's babydaddy, Francois-Henri Pinault. Maybe the blind you referred to was about them? All the gossip says Linda denies it but Page 6 is sticking to its story.

    ReplyDelete
  67. It could be Harrison Ford. A few years ago USA Today ran a story on celebrity poker players and Harrison's son made a comment that his dad loved the game and could never pass a casino without stopping to play.

    ReplyDelete
  68. 1. Brendan Frasier....A-List, bad hair and part of The Mummy Franchise.

    Nic Cage and John Travolta are also known for their bad hair, but neither is part of a franchise.

    2. One of the Olsen twins.

    ReplyDelete
  69. too -

    'National Treasure' franchise for Nic Cage.

    and I'm loathe to admit, I liked them, too.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Anonymous5:31 AM

    Am I the only one thinking of Depp? He doesn't seem to use or even own a comb most of the times, just heard of him playing dice, and there were talks of a 4th pirate movie.

    ReplyDelete
  71. #2 Solved: Mary Kate Olson

    According to this week’s issue of National Enquirer, Mary-Kate Olsen has packed on over twenty pounds, and the magazine is speculating that it’s because MK is pregnant.
    The magazine does not come outright and claim this is in fact true. Rather, it just speculates it’s a possibility because MK has been looking healthier-her weight is up to 102 pounds-and that she’s eager to start a family with Nate. This was supposedly spurred by Heath Ledger’s death, because Heath told Mary-Kate that becoming a father was one of the best and most rewarding things he’s ever done.
