Today's Blind Items
This aging, but not old, former B list television actress from a very hit television show and sometime film actress from some very forgettable films is someone with B+ name recognition and a career that has had lots of stops and starts. One thing has been holding her back for years. She thought she found a way to solve the problem but it didn't work. She has always had an alcohol problem but now she has discovered a new best friend called meth. Her habit has got so bad that she cannot always wait for her dealer to come to her. Several times she has had to actually go out in her very conspicuous car and go make buys herself.
pamela anderson
ReplyDeletePam would be someone with A+ name recognition
ReplyDeleteShelly Long
ReplyDeleteWhy did Kirstie Alley spring to mind? Of course, if she was on the meth, she'd be way skinnier ...
ReplyDeletekim cattrall? kristin davis?-she admitted to having had a drinking problem in the past.
ReplyDeletejust trying to think outside of the box.
Courtney Cox!
ReplyDeleteOk Shelly Long was just a first thought w/very forgettable films. Now I think it is Lisa Kudrow
ReplyDeleteI really like the Kristin Davis guess. She has some forgettable films for sure.
ReplyDeleteKim Delaney
ReplyDeleteSecond the Courtney Cox.
ReplyDeletekc, you got me with Kim. While I hope it isn't her, she sounds like a very good guess. Has she been in any forgettable movies though?
ReplyDeleteThe conspicuous car comment gives it away. It must be Lily Munster.
ReplyDeleteHeather Locklear.
ReplyDeleteKim Cattrall was in Mannequin. No one could EVER call that unforgettable, LOL!
ReplyDeleteOT: My CDAN Secret Santa just sent me a whole box of Chicken in a Biskit! Best. Day. Ever.
Y'all are listing some A List name recognitions, like Courtney Cox, and Heather Locklear. I would definitely think B List name recognition is more Kim Delaney, etc.
ReplyDeleteLOL @ stephen....Lily Munster (shaking head...)
ReplyDeleteKim Delaney fits "b" list and she has had a known alcohol problem, but she is not a "former" b list tv actress who sometimes does forgettable films. She is still doing tv ("army wives"). Although her list of films (not many) are all forgettable.
ReplyDeleteYeah the conspicuous car has to be a clue...but the only person I can think of is Angelyne. (LA known "celebrity" who drives around in her pink cadillac and has her own billboard, don't know what she actually DOES so I know it's not her)
ReplyDeleteJennifer Esposito is in the Random photos, and Spin City was a very hit show, but IMDB shows JE is in "Samantha Who" now, so don;t Know. Teri Polo was also in the random photos....
ReplyDeleteJennifer Esposito is in the Random photos, and Spin City was a very hit show, but IMDB shows JE is in "Samantha Who" now, so don;t Know. Teri Polo was also in the random photos....
ReplyDeleteAngelyne drives a corvette.
ReplyDeleteWhat very hit tv show was Angelyne in?
ReplyDeleteTeri Polo a def. no. no hit tv shows, and her films were certainly NOT FORGETTABLE--"Meet the Parents".
Courtney Cox's problem in the past was cocaine not alcohol. The clue here is very conspicuous car. I thought of Kristen Davis too, but there are lots of drunks in Hollywood. I just hope she's not drunk while driving around in the conspicuous car.
ReplyDeleteThe car is a definate clue, so I am thinking who has a Rolls, or something else along that caliber??
ReplyDeleteStephen HA!! That was gold.
ReplyDeleteA VERY hit show, to me, indicates something that's won a bunch of Emmys and ended up syndicated.
ReplyDeleteCandice Bergen? Naaah. Too classy. I like the Shelley Long guess, honestly.
SJPeePee, First wives club, failure to launch but what she drive?
ReplyDeleteI'm not certain Locklear is A list. Maybe, but not a given.
ReplyDeleteSo, I'm saying it's Heather. Her conspicuous car is the one she was pulled over in recently. We saw plenty pics of that car which would make it insane of her to take it out to buy drugs.
It can't be Lisa Kudrow, she was A-list, or at least while Friends was on. She's also busy with some internet show right now.
ReplyDelete"Candice Bergen? Naaah. Too classy."
ReplyDeleteWhat does THAT mean???? Just because she acts a certain way when she's in public (which isn't that often) doesn't mean she doesn't do meth!
I don't think it's her either, though. She was A-list while her show was on at least.
It can't be Heather Locklear. While it's debateable whether she's A list or B list, she definitely has A list name recognition. Also, she's been on more than one hit television show and the blind item says this actress has only had one hit show.
ReplyDeleteWhen Locklear was arrested, they drug tested her and found no evidence of illegal drugs, so I find it hard to believe she's on meth, unless she just started it a few days ago. The blind item makes it sound like this actress has a big problem though, if she has to go out and get it herself.
Also, the blind doesn't say she's not involved in a television series right now, just that her big hit show was in the past.
Instead of Rolls or Corvette, what about an itty bitty hybrid? Has Pam or Courtney gone green?
ReplyDeletecalista flockhart
ReplyDeleteor would she be a list?
Lara Flynn Boyle? What does she drive?
ReplyDeleteThe first thought that went thru my mind was Christina Applegate.
ReplyDeletedefinitely sarah michelle gellar!
ReplyDeleteaging, but not old...VERY HIT (cult) television show...Buffy....and some super forgettable films, plus a stalled career.
she's looking thinner than normal and more haggard than ever lately too...
SMG has Cruel Intentions and I know what you did last summer on her resume. Two big films.
ReplyDeleteI like the Pam Anderson guess. She looks like rewarmed shit these days.
Sadly I think it may be Kristin Davis--she showed up at a premiere recently in a BMW Hydrogen 7 — the world’s first hydrogen-powered car for everyday use. She has also been public about her problems with alcohol...
ReplyDeleteGood points kanonymous. You turned me.
ReplyDeleteIf it were Kristin Davis would it say Cable instead of Television? She was on Melrose Place but, I think SATC is more of a hit.
Besides, did she have plenty of stops and starts? I think she just kinda stopped.
JJ--I would think that TV includes cable (HBO)...also as someone else pointed out, I agree that the VERY conspicuous car is really the clue and I think "the world’s first hydrogen-powered car" would be very conspicuous...
ReplyDeleteIs Alyssa Milano B list? What about her?
ReplyDeleteMaybe Michelle Rodrieguez (Lost and the forgettable Fast and the Furious) She had the DUI, so shes had an alcohol past, now perhaps the hard stuff?
ReplyDeleteHmmm, what does she drive?
Teri Hatcher. The VW-bus?
ReplyDeleteI say Julia Louis-Dreyfus? Maybe? She has had forgettable films - "North", anyone? What does she drive?
ReplyDeleteJennifer Aniston.
ReplyDeletesoo teri hatcher. yes, and she drives a green old timey VW bus.
ReplyDeletehttp://whatstarsdrive.com/2008/07/15/teri-hatcher-drives-a-vw-bus/
I'm liking the Teri Hatcher guess...
ReplyDeletesandra oh
ReplyDeleteThank you SAuvage, i'da been shocked to get to the end of this list of guesses without a single Teri Hatcher guess! I'm somewhat shocked it took that long!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe there is a website on what stars drive...
ReplyDeleteAre some websites designed just for help with blind items??
I have been thinking about this one all evening but I really do not have a clue.
ReplyDeleteNicolette Sheridan.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Tiffany Amber-Thiessen? I don't know what kind of car she drives, but she has been in some forgettable movies and I would consider her B-list name recognition.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Tiffany Amber-Thiessen? I don't know what kind of car she drives, but she has been in some forgettable movies and I would consider her B-list name recognition.
ReplyDeleteTeri Hatcher
ReplyDeleteLocklear, Anderson, Cox and Aniston have all been A list at some point -- either career-wise or in terms of name recognition.
Kudrow, who I think is a very reasonable guess, was never as famous as the other two, but I would still ultimately call her A list.
I like the Alyssa Milano guess, but the car sold me on Hatcher. It would totally explain her disgustingly thin figure and her absolutely wonky face. She needed all that work to attempt to cover up the ravages of drug abuse and time.
It can't be Teri Hatcher; it says former B-list television actress. She's still on DH, and most would consider her B-list overall, but A-list for TV. I also have a hard time believing she has ever had a drinking problem.
ReplyDeleteShannon Doherty? Charmed and 90210, Keeps getting fired, DUI arrests, and some god-awful films.
ReplyDeleteGotta be Shannon! Love her though. Crazy bitch.
ReplyDeleteHow bout Debra Messing
ReplyDeletejulia louis dreyfuss
ReplyDeletealthough the kristin davis guess makes sense too, unfortunately.
what about debra messing??
ReplyDeleteDebra Messing makes the most sense to me.
ReplyDeleteShe had a hit TV show, Will and Grace and she was in a couple forgettable movies. Her career has stalled more than once and now she's back on TV in a B-List TV show.
Plus, she's looking super skinny these days.
Pam anderson-meth shows on the face and she looks horrible
ReplyDeleteAlso, Pam Anderson recently auctioned her Dodge Viper for PETA....a rather distinctive car. I think she's the one.
ReplyDeleteThe Sex in the City Movie was a big hit this year and would not be called forgettable. Sorry, this one is not Kristin Davis.
ReplyDeletePam did have a dodge viper with custom racing stripes on it - that is a pretty conspicuous car.
I agree with berlin_inside - meth shows on the face and she does look like death lately.
Definitely Heather Locklear
ReplyDeleteLondon 18 - I completely agree. Might explain why she's distanced herself from Buffy as well. If she's going down the tube, she can't do action stuff much anymore. Oh sad! It's got to be Sarah Michelle Gellar. :(
ReplyDeleteIf you're the B list actress on a very hit tv show then I'm thinking you aren't the star, and I don't think a Mercedes Benz 4-series would be "very conspicuous" would it? So I have to nix on SMG even though her films have totally been forgettable.
ReplyDeleteYesterday Heather Locklear got a "midemeanor driving under the influence, citing prescription drugs" & ruled out alcohol. I'm leaning in her direction on this one. Yeah, I know meth isn't a Rx but I figure the police in Montecito aren't going to say she was on meth even if she was....
But Heather did “T.J. Hooker,” “Dynasty,” “Melrose Place” and “Spin City” so I guess maybe she doesn't quite fit this one... back to the drawing board...
ReplyDeletePlus, what films has Heather been in? I thought she was TV only.
ReplyDeleteSean Young!
ReplyDeleteI still think it's Heather Locklear. I think the films the blind item was referring to might be made-for-tv kind of films, plus all the starts & stops make sense since every few years she lands a new tv gig. And don't forget, she was pulled over recently while under the influence and it's rumored that she was in rehab last summer, too.
ReplyDeleteOkay for those of you who are saying it's Julia Louis Dreyfuss that's just pure blasphemy. She's one of my favorites.
ReplyDelete(Putting hands over ears, lalalalalala.)
I just couldn't handle it if it was true.
I like Lily from the Munsters for this one. LOL! That's just priceless.
ReplyDeletejld looks waaaay too healthy for it to be her.
ReplyDeleteand lmao@stephen w. the lily munster guess....
Plus, what films has Heather been in? I thought she was TV only.
ReplyDeleteMost recently "The Perfect Man" and "Looney Tunes: Back in Action" - both forgettable, methinks.
What about Roseanne Barr? Even if you agree with her political views, it's hard not to think "meth addict" when you read her blog.
"And don't forget, she was pulled over recently while under the influence and it's rumored that she was in rehab last summer, too."
ReplyDeleteAgain, Heather Locklear DID NOT HAVE ILLEGAL DRUGS IN HER SYSTEM when she got pulled over. Meth IS an illegal drug. Locklear had prescription drugs ONLY in her system. Meth is NOT a prescription drug. And she even had prescriptions for the drugs in her system, which is why she got charged with driving under the influence, but not illegal drug use.
Also, she was in rehab for depression, not drugs or alcohol.
"And don't forget, she was pulled over recently while under the influence and it's rumored that she was in rehab last summer, too."
ReplyDeleteAgain, let me clarify: Heather Locklear DID NOT HAVE ILLEGAL DRUGS IN HER SYSTEM when she was pulled over. Meth IS an illegal drug. She had prescription drugs ONLY in her system. Meth is NOT a prescription drug. She even had prescriptions for the drugs in her system, which is why she only got charged with driving under the influence and not illegal drug use.
Also, she was in rehab for depression, not drugs or alcohol.

ReplyDeleteSince when is Sarah Michelle Gellar an "aging but not old" actress???? She's 31!
ReplyDeleteAnd Michelle Rodriguez is only 30!
I would say this actress is at least in her 40's, if not 50's.
for the people who said debra messing, she's currently on the starter wife on USA, so it can't be her.
ReplyDeleteThe more I think about this, the more I think it's Pamela Anderson. She has been jumping from job to job (remember her stint as a magician's assistant???) and she has looked really horrible lately.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Jenna Elfman?
ReplyDeleteLara Flynn Boyle, she looks like death lately, she was on the Practice which was a pretty popular show, she did Men in Black II, pretty big movie. Her career has definitely had its ebbs and flows. That's my vote.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Rose McGowan?
ReplyDeleteForgettable films, Charmed is the hit television show.
She looks like a trainwreck lately, and has always had some sort of problems..
Don't know about the car part though, she has been in a car accident lately.. (but don't think that relates to the car reference though:S)
My first guess was and is SMG. Enty always refers to her booze issues and she was def. poised to be bigger after Buffy.
ReplyDeleteA few crap films later (Grudge 2, that one where she's a porn star, etc.) and a few recent pics where she looks like a middle-aged call girl tell me it's her.
FORMER B list television actress. Struggled with alcohol ....now METH?
ReplyDeleteIt's Shannon Doherty.
