Michael Musto Blind Items - Lots And Lots

I don't even need to post any blind items today. Michael Musto has a ton. In his column yesterday he just kind of lumped them all together. Lucky for us, a reader was kind enough to break them all down and number them for easier guessing. Enjoy these. There are 40 of them.

(1) Which supposedly cleaned-up star was spotted at a hot West Village
restaurant, going to the bathroom about every five minutes to take care
of business? Anyone buying the weak bladder excuse?

(2) Which once-hot pop star can barely sing a note and needs mucho
enhancement in the studio, getting help from a songwriter who's also
vocally stepped in for that working-class rock band?

(3) Similarly, which famous young lady actually does the singing for
her more famous sister?

(4) Which quirky director who gives the wife a lot of work must be
doing so in exchange for some heavy bearding? (He's rumored to be one
of them there closet cases.)

(5) Which still-closety '70s superstar gets regular mansion visits from
a local gay promoter?

(6) Which TV starlet has freaked out from her (mid-level) success and
doesn't want people on the street to even look in when she's doing a
photo shoot in an establishment? Wouldn't she freak out even more if
they didn't look in?

(7) Which married actor is wildly flamboyant among friends and business
associates, but when he sits down with an interviewer or goes out in
public, he suddenly reins in the swishing and tries to pass for
straight? Who's buying it?

(8) Which French actor, who's now part of a franchise, is known=2
0for
having a "dick of fire"? (I.e., he can't seem to stick it in enough
orifices—all of them les girls', alas).

(9) Which trannie, poignantly enough, got a cut-rate sex change and
can't feel much of anything down there?

(10) Which belter is such a drinker that she had to be pushed onstage
for her entrance at that concert, after which she started singing eight
bars early, thereby throwing off the whole number (and, in fact, the
whole show)?

( 11) Which male Tony nominee for musicals is such an egomaniac that
people dread sitting at his end of the table?

(12) Which old-time crooner only does interviews via e-mail, so his
people can provide canned answers that are often verbatim repeats of
what they fed other publications?

(13) Which Brazilian hustler keeps his cash in his mattress rather than
report it to the authorities? (Not that I know any Brazilian hustlers,
mind you. I got this from a friend of a friend.)

(14) Which comeback chanteuse lost her lower register due to all those
times she took injections to get over health problems and/or exhaustion?

(15) What diva's light-skinned son strangely has trouble getting it up?

(16) Which semi-star was supposedly busted for posting anonymous
threads about how she was better in that hit show than the woman who
replaced her? Is it any wonder the semi-star was caught screaming,
"Noooo!" when her replacement won the big award?

(
17) Which erudite actor who's currently on the boards was seen—by
me—wiping his nose as he left the bathroom at Hiro? (Well, he had the
next day off.) Anyone buying the weak sinus excuse?

(18) Which well-chosen wife of a major star is so dumb she didn't know
that a drag performance she'd just seen was indeed a collection of
males in dresses? Does that explain why she married that husband?

(19) Which American author's birthplace studiously omits his
homosexuality from all materials and resents any attempt to get it
mentioned?

(20) Which author's birthplace doesn't?

(21) Which director supposedly got married to deflect accusations
(baseless, I'm sure) that he was sleeping with his young discovery?

(22) Which husband of that too-thin personality is a cheater (and a
beater, too, if you believe the horrid murmurs)?

(23) Which hubby didn't want to pose for photos with the wife at her
book party because, as he mouthed to her, "It's your book"? (Free
answer: Dean McDermott.)

(24) Which surprise Broadway star is a shameless womanizer who tried to
get a young lady who was auditioning for a part in his show to come
over and rehearse in private? When she couldn't find the time to do so,
how did he respond to her later request for tickets? (Angrily, I assure
you.)

(25) Which talented blonde stage star picks her nose as if burrowing
for gold and is fond of saying about job offer
s, "They can't afford
me"? Who turned down the illustrious chance to replace her? (Free
answers: Ashley Tisdale, Hilary Duff, and Brittany Snow, for starters.
I guess they couldn't afford them.)

(26) Which screen legend would seem to be a great icon to get to know,
but at least one person who has done so reports, "Not so! She's boring
and needy!"?

(27) What biggie didn't talk to a stage co-star who happened to have
gotten even better reviews than she did?

(28) Who wrote that movie by dredging up her perspective on her sister
and other family situations, but told the press it was totally original?

(29) Which Oscar winner hides her head in her hand whenever she sees
me, even though we're fellow rabid liberals?

(30) Which teen idol could the character named "Zack" in Dance
Flick—you know, the one who sings the song about being a big
gay—possibly be based on?

Which legendary restaurant that was priced out of business is reopening
in a boutique hotel—this time, with a big stage, rather than have
performances on the counter? (Free answer: Florent.)

(31) Which Post gossip diva has written a Broadway show that I hear the
Weislers will bring to a really big stage?

And now, kindly hold your noses and prance down memory lane with me for
these far more vintage items:

(32) Which scriptwriter of two classic musicals once managed to solicit
a blowjob out of a you
ng lady auditioning for a revival, never
realizing she was a chick with a dick (not to mention a very good
friend of mine)?

(33) Which actor who once worked in a trannie bar slept with at least
one of the gals? (Again, I'm connected.)

(34) Which multi-octave superstar started out so rough and untrained
that she wouldn't bother to bathe and, at dinners, would turn to the
person next to her and demand things like, "Cut my meat"? (And no, this
has nothing to do with the discount sex-change item above.)

(35) Which superstar couple's run supposedly ended when she gave him
the gift of herpes? What kinds of kinky activities were the male half
of that duo into? (Free answer: fisting, to name just one earthly
delight. Yes, hetero fisting! I'm not making this shit up!)

(36) What always-acclaimed actress's marriage has lasted so long partly
because the non-bizzy husband turns a blind eye whenever she beds her
male co-stars?

(37) Which legend's first album was a hit by mistake? (On a budget,
they accidentally sped up the music, which made it all the more
danceable).

(38) Which ethnic multi-talent had a breakdown when her then-boyfriend
was arrested? (In fact, she threw herself on the prison floor and
started foaming at the mouth—a far better performance than anything
she's achieved on celluloid.)

(39) Which star of that cable phenomenon didn't thank her husband at
the Emmys because he20was fucking his female co-star on Broadway around
that time?

(40) Which lesbian singer did it with a man—once, from what I can
tell—and he reports that she just laid there, practically comatose? I
mean, can you blame her?

    40-Alicia Keys

  5. 39) Definitely SJP and Broderick...

    ReplyDelete
  6. Please please please don't let #4 be a Coen brother. I love his films and adore Frances McDormand even more.

    But he doesn't seem like the type who'd feel the need to be closeted...?

    ReplyDelete
  7. #2 - Why did Gwen Stefani pop into my head?

    ReplyDelete
  8. 4) Must be the Coen brother married to McDormand...what other "quirky" director gives roles to his wife?

    ReplyDelete
  9. (4) Which quirky director who gives the wife a lot of work must be
    doing so in exchange for some heavy bearding? (He's rumored to be one
    of them there closet cases.)

    This is definitely Tim Burton/Helena Bonham Carter. He's the quirkiest director around and almost all of his film's have her in some capacity. The only other one that might be a little quirky (but i really doubt he's bearding) is Rob Zombie/Sheri Moon Zombie.

    ReplyDelete
  10. 15 Diana Ross son Evan Ross. There have been lots of BI and rumors about him.

    ReplyDelete
  11. 4) I agree with SG...Burton fits.

  14. 26) Elizabeth Taylor

    ReplyDelete
  15. 35) I would SO love this to be Goopy and Affleck...the idea that she gave him herpes and that he is into fisting is too good to be true.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I believe 19 is for Chuck Palahniuk of "Fight Club" fame...

    ReplyDelete
  17. Judd Apatow casts Leslie Mann in his movies, but he doesn't strike me as gay nor do his films strike me as being quirky. YMMV.

    ReplyDelete
  18. (15) What diva's light-skinned son strangely has trouble getting it up?

    Evan Ross, son of Diana

    (28) Who wrote that movie by dredging up her perspective on her sister
    and other family situations, but told the press it was totally original?

    Diablo Cody(39) Which star of that cable phenomenon didn't thank her husband at
    the Emmys because he20was fucking his female co-star on Broadway around
    that time?
    SJP?That's all i got!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Is there a mistake in #20 or am I just not getting it?

    2. Whitney Houston
    3. Agree - Solange
    4. Tim Burton
    8. Depardieu?
    9. Larry Wachowski
    10. Winehouse
    12. Tony Bennett?
    14. Houston again
    15. Want to think about this one!

    18. K Holmes
    19. Hemingway?
    22. Bill Rancic?
    24. Broderick
    25. Loren?
    27. Holmes again?
    28. Writer of "Rachel getting married"?
    29. Ridiculous blind
    34. Mariah?
    35. Paris and Benji though it better not be as she's far from a 'superstar'. I would love for this to be Mayerston :)
    36. Gasp! Streep??
    37. Michael Jackson?

    ReplyDelete
  21. You're missing an obvious possibility for (4): Judd Apatow, who casts his wife (Leslie Mann) in EVERYTHING he does. And it's basically the only work she gets, too.

    Having said that, though -- I doubt it's him.

    Some other guesses:

    (19) Lowell, MA (for Jack Kerouac)?

    (25) Kristen Chenoweth?

    (28) Like the Jenny Lumet guess, but how about Diablo Cody?

    (32) Ernest Lehman (wrote the screenplays for "Sound of Music" and "West Side Story")

    (37) Madonna

    (40) KD Lang?

    ReplyDelete
  22. @Little Miss S&M -- one author's birthplace (19) buries the homosexuality; another author's birthplace (20) openly notes it.

    ReplyDelete
  23. 8) Either Vincent Cassel (part of "Ocean's 12", cameo in "Ocean's 13") or Alain Chabat (Napoleon in "A Night In The Museum 2"). Chabat would be the better fit. He's very famous in France as the former head of comic troup "Les Nuls", became a successful movie producer and director, dated a big bosom singer a few years ago.
    I can't think of any other French actor getting a part in any US franchise.

    4) I disagree with the Joel Coen guess. Coen and Frances McDormand have been married for more than twenty years, long before they got Hollywood "famous". Given the Coens cult status, I don't think they would risk anything if one of them was gay. So, there's no need for a beard. Especially when the wife gets parts every 10 years (Fargo, Burn After Reading).
    Similarly, Tim Burton doesn't strike my gaydar. Pussywhipped? Definitely yes. (cf. Lisa Marie being cast in every of his movies for a long time). Gay? Doesn't look like that. He would fit any description of an Asperger's syndrom instead. Besides, his movies don't suck even when he casts his ladyfriend.

  24. A pimp named DaveR - wow, for a smart girl, I can be an idiot. Thanks. :)

  27. I suspect #34 is Bette Midler. She appeared at a nightclub in our town very early in her career and 30 years later the owner was still complaining about how badly she smelled and how dirty her clothes were "She wore the same dress every night for the whole engagement - and didn't clean it".

    ReplyDelete
  28. For 37: The Bee Gees?

    ReplyDelete
  29. > A pimp named DaveR

    I agree about 28.
    Jenny Lumet wouldn't be stupid enough to deny taking inspiration from her parents (not her sister) mixed wedding (Sidney is a Jew, her mother is the daughter of Lena Horne and a white guy). Besides, the dishwasher scene comes straight of an argument between father Sidney and Bob Fosse.
    I can clearly see Diablo Cody exploiting her sister's situation and adding hipster douchebag's lines in the dialog.

    ReplyDelete
  30. #35 - Pam Anderson & Kid Rock

    ReplyDelete
  31. What about that Gilles guy who was in Sex and the City and Dancing With Stars for the French horndog?

  32. Good thing I got off work early today!

    2. Britney

    3. Haylie Duff for Hilary Duff

    4. Rob Zombie (wife Shelly Moon is in all his movies)

    10. Amy Winehouse

    18. Katie Holmes

    22. Mark Consuelos? (Kelly Ripa's husband)

    27. Katie Holmes

    30. Obviously Zac Efron

    34. Mariah Carey?

    35. Paris and all of her bf's

  39. Wait, I'll change 35 to Juliette Lewis/ Brad Pitt. I don't think it's Aniston and Mayer because it's in the vintage section and that was pretty recent.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Just some random guesses...

    6) Blake Lively?

    7) Matthew Broderick?

    9) Alexis Arquette?

    14) Whitney Houston?

    26) Lauren Bacall?

    30) Zac Efron?

    34) Mariah Carey?

    36) Meryl Streep? It doesn't seem like her, but she has been married to a sculptor since 1978 and she is always acclaimed.

    38) Jennifer Lopez, when Puff Daddy was arrested in 2000?

    40) kd lang?

    ReplyDelete
  41. LOL @ Mooshki!
    That crossed my mind as well :)

    ReplyDelete
  42. #35 isn't Britney/Justin. They broke up because she cheated on him with Wade Robeson. (Although anyone who honestly believes he didn't cheat too is kind of fooling themselves.) We KNOW Paris has herpes. Maybe Paris/whichever Madden she dated?

    ReplyDelete
  43. when i read the superstar/herpes story, i thought of tom and nicole. it's vintage and nobody ever really knew for sure why they split so suddenly.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I don't think Burton and Carter are married.

    ReplyDelete
  45. @ Andrea - I never knew the whole story with Brit and JT! Who is Wade Robeson?

    ReplyDelete
  46. Besides, all this gossip comes from New York. The married director could be a stage director on Broadway, for instance.

    Yes, it's dubious any stage director would feel the need to take a beard but...

    ReplyDelete
  47. @rocket Queen: Wade was Britney's choreographer, and she introduced him to NSYNC, and he ended up choreographing for them, too. He was super young, like younger than Justin. I think he and Britney were actually the same age and he started choreographing for NSYNC by No Strings Attached, so he was 17 or 18 when they met. He and Justin became best friends. He co-wrote Gone and Pop with Justin, and also wrote Celebrity, I believe. They wrote a song for Britney, too--What It's Like to Be Me.

    And then she cheated, and Justin found out supposedly when he found a note from Wade to Britney in her dressing room when she was hosting SNL.

    I got all this from, I think, a Rolling Stone piece about Britney a few years ago. The "American tragedy" one, right after she was committed. But it's something that Britney-Justin fans have known for quite a while; the RS article just confirmed it.

    Wade still does choreography. He was supposed to do Britney's Circus tour but I think her dad decided to nix that. He does stuff for SYTYCD and had his own show on MTV for a bit called the Wade Robeson Project.

    I know way too much about this. Don't judge me.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Rocket- he's some choreographer douche.

    ReplyDelete
  49. @ nancer- tom and nicole split because he fell in love with penelope cruz after vanilla sky...

    ReplyDelete
  50. Wade also has a connection to the Michael Jackson "situation".

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wade_Robson

    ReplyDelete
  51. Andrea - no judging here :)

    Jungle 007 - you're joking about Tom, right?

  53. #35: Jen A & Brad P...c'mon, wouldn't THAT put a nail in the little miss jilted story!!!

    ReplyDelete
  54. I need to print these out so I can follow all the guesses.

    40 is not k.d. lang. She said in an interview that she had never been with a man and always knew she was a lesbian. I'm going with Melissa on this one. Yes, I am!

    ReplyDelete
  55. Love Barry Manilow for #5 and really disappointed if #19 is Chuck Palahniuk. I've had a crush on him for years!

    #4 is Tim Burton/Helena Carter

    I don't believe #39 is SJP because that who rumor about his affair had to be fake. Isn't it common knowledge Matthew is gay?

    ReplyDelete
  56. Throwing out a different answer for 10 - Kelly Clarkson. Girl can belt, and I could see her being a lush!

    ReplyDelete
  57. I don't believe hardly any of these. I especially don't believe Tim Burton for the quirky director item. He dumped his long time love ( who he used to always put in his movies as well) for Helena and it was a nasty breakup. Very nasty. She even had a lawsuit against him which she should have won. If he was gay she would have outed him or blackmailed him for money due to the bitterness of being callously tossed aside for Helena.

    ReplyDelete
  58. NO NICOLE GOT PREGGERS WHILE DOING MOULIN ROGUE...EVERYONE ON SET KNEW SHE WAS FOOLING AROUND WITH EWAN MCGREGOR....
    TOM WAS EMBARRASSED...HE WOULDN'T HAVE CARE IT PEOPLE HAD BELIEVED THE BABY WAS HIS...(LIKE KATIE...HA ON THAT ONE)...

    Audrey - don't know if he's the answer to the blind, but Chuck has been with his partner for something like fifteen years now. He came out in a voice message posted on chuckpalahniuk.net about five and a half years ago.

    He is most definitely crush-worthy though, I'll give you that! I've seen him three times and written to him once and he is nothing if not charming and gracious. :)

    (PS - I'm the other Audrey who used to post on occasion. I didn't want to confuse people so I changed my screenname. :> )

    ReplyDelete
  63. I like Chuck Palahniuk for 19; maybe David Sedaris for 20?

    ReplyDelete
  64. I don't think it's Chuck Palahniuk. I went to school with him and live in the area where he was born. I can see the city not commenting on his sexual orientation because what business is it of theirs?!

    I've never seen any "materials" from the city that even mention him.

    I had the same 5th grade teacher that Chuck says inspired him to write. He was a great teacher.

  68. How can #39 Be SJP? What am I missing.

    Question: Why do you think Tom ended it with Nicole Kidman after finding out she was pregnant? Why do you think he didn't try to pass the child off as his own? As we know, she miscarried though.

  69. 21) Stephen Daldry, which is fucked up because he was covering up rumors about the little boy from Billy Elliott. But that's Daldry's thing. ::shudder::

    I disagree with the Solange/Beyonce guess. The Duffs fit better. I've heard Solange sing live, and Beyonce. They're both great, but distinctly different as singers. And if Solange could really sing like that behind the scenes, changing her voice to create her own style, I would be surprised her father didn't push her into a career much sooner, given his love of all things $$$

  76. Majik, are you responding to my post?

    If so here's my response:

    Alicia was known as being "rough around the edges" when she first started out. She discussed this in an interview and also said because she was so rough people also thought she was a lesbian but she isn't.

  81. It's funny how most everyone's mind immediately go to the same person, even though there are obviously plenty of options.

    #4 seems like it should be obvious (I def thought of Tim Burton at first, but if Terrance's story is true that's a good argument against him.) Neither the Cohen bro or Judd Apatow strike me as gay at all.

    I'm confused #39...obviously SJP and Broderick but I always thought he was gay? Now he's a womanizer?

  82. @Stardust, I don't think it's Gilles, he strikes me as a very caring,sensitive family man.

    I think it's Vincent Cassel (the rich thief in the Ocean's 11, 12, 13,etc which would be a movie franchise). I do get the manwhore vibe from him.

  83. Okay, I'm going to make my list before I look at all the comments. I'm probably wrong on most but this was fun anyway.

    1. Lohan
    2. Bon Jovi
    3. Jessica for Ashlee or vice versa
    4. Tim Burton. I feel this in my bones.
    6. Heigl
    7. Will Smith (can't be Cruise because $cios frown upon that)
    9. Alexis Arquette
    11. Clay Aiken
    12. Tony Bennett (sorry, he was my first thought)
    13. Jesus Luz
    17. John Lithgow
    20. Truman Capote
    26. Lauren Bacall
    31. Either Cindy Adams or Liz Smith
    32. Marvin Hamlisch
    34. Mariah Carey
    35. I so want this to be Reese'n'Ryan
    37. Donna Summer
    38. J LO!

  84. (4) I agree with Terrance's logic on Tim Burton - Helena sorta stole Kenneth Branaugh from Emma Thompson, then she sorta stole Tim Burton from Lisa Marie. I agree since she filed a lawsuit, she'd out him if there was something to out, and why would he dump her for Helena if he was already bearded? Maybe David Lynch?

    (11) Nathan Lane?

    (34) I bet Mariah still turns to whomever is next to her and says, "cut my meat," but now she says it with a lot more authority.

  85. I insist on 8)
    Vincent Cassel is married to Monica Bellucci. If it were him, the juicy part would be him having affairs behind her back, not having a dick of fire.
    Besides, "Ocean's 12" was made in 2004. It would be hard to say that Cassel is "now part of a franchise" after five years and no "Ocean's 14" in sight.
    Alain Chabat would be a much better fit as "A Night At The Museum 2" opens tomorrow and Ben Stiller has an unfortunate tendency to make unnecessary sequels ("Meet The Little Focker", anyone?)

  86. Mooshki, I can't help but marry quirky director with Tim Burton because all I see is Kevin Smith's impersonation of him!

  87. I am thinking J. Lo for number two because of the "mucho" and because of past rumors about her....?

  88. Somebody mentioned earlier printing these, I did that too. Makes it easier following the guesses. You guys are so good.

  89. 8) Jean Reno (Pink Panther 1&2)

  90. #4 I don't know how 'quirky' he is, but the first name that popped into my head was Darren (The Wrestler) Aronofsky and wife Rachel Weisz (sp).

  91. The deal w/ Tom & Nicole was that she'd marry him and play wifey (and beard) in return for 12 leading roles in studio films.

    Explains why she keeps getting parts although all her films tank :)

  92. 1. Robert Downey Jr.
    2. Gwen Stefani
    3. Hillary/Haley Duff or Jamie Lynn/Britney Spears (Can't be Beyonce, she can actually sing)
    4. Tim Burton
    6. one of the Gossip Girls
    7. Will Smith-his flamboyanceness (is that a word) has been coming out quite a bit lately in interviews. I don't think he will be able to contain it much longer.
    9. Alexis Arquette
    10. I like the Kelly Clarkson guess
    14. Mariah
    15. Diana Ross, her son Evan Ross
    18. Katie Holmes
    30. Zach Efron
    34. Whitney
    36. Julia Roberts/Danny Moder
    37. Donna Summer
    38. Jennifer Lopez, Puff Daddy (she ACTUALLY FOAMED at the mouth HIL A RIOUS
    39. Sounds like SJP and MB (so he's NOT gay?)

  93. (19) Which American author's birthplace studiously omits his homosexuality from all materials and resents any attempt to get it mentioned?

    What about Walt Whitman (1819 - 1892). He was born in Huntington, Long Island, though lived most of his life elsewhere. There's a high school and a mall named after him. There's a website for his family house. No mention of homosexuality that I could find.

    ReplyDelete
  94. (20) Which author's birthplace doesn't?

    How about Truman Capote, born New Orleans. The city's official tourism website has an article "A Rich Gay Heritage".

    http://www.neworleansonline.com/neworleans/glbt/glbt-heritage.html

    Truman spent much of his childhood in Monroeville, Alabama as a childhood friend of To Kill a Mockingbird author Harper Lee.

  95. (13) Which Brazilian hustler keeps his cash in his mattress rather than report it to the authorities? (Not that I know any Brazilian hustlers, mind you. I got this from a friend of a friend.)

    Isn't tax avoidance quite common in Brasil? It could be any Brasilian man with some fame who is a spokesperson for various products.

  96. (8) Which French actor, who's now part of a franchise, is known for having a "dick of fire"? (I.e., he can't seem to stick it in enough
    orifices — all of them les girls', alas).

    Jean Reno has been guessed for Pink Panther 1 & 2. He was born Juan Moreno in 1948 Casablanca to Spanish Andalusian parents. Moved to France age 17 and got French citizenship by doing national service. So he is French and he now lives in New York, where the author of the blinds appears to be located. Also he is age 60, and "now part of a franchise" after many Hollywood hits.

    For information about him see this article:
    http://www.francemag.com/celebrity-interviews-jean-reno-a-man-for-all-seasons--136234


    Gerard Depardieu has two French "franchises":

    * Asterix & Obelix vs. Caesar (1999)
    * Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra (2002)
    * Asterix at the Olympic Games (2008)

    * Jean de Florette (1986)
    * Manon des Sources (1986)

    The blind doesn't say it has to be an American franchise. However, it doesn't look like Gerard fits the clue "now part of a franchise" because his are not recent.

  97. 35 is Kid Rock for sure. Don't ask how I know that

  98. For those of you who've mentioned Tom Cruise, while I am not a fan of Tom Cruise at ALL, I recently read the unauthorized biography of his life by Andrew Morton and it offered up a lot of interesting information and perspective to his past and history that has become uber urban legend over the years (like the whole back story on the "practicing monk" comment that first wife Mimi Rogers made in an interview long ago...). While I don't believe everything I read from cover to cover, I do have to admit that Morton offered up some very interesting arguments, perspectives and interviews with folks who would have known what was going on at those times in his life.

    Just saying, its worth reading for those who want more food for thought on many of the more salacious rumors that have surrounded him for years as well as (for me at least) a fascinating inside view of what Nicole Kidman is supposedly really like, radically different than I expected than the persona she portrays for magazine interviews.

  99. I say the answer to ALL of these blinds is one person: GOOPY!

  100. Wow guys, amazing job all around! I am spent, good thing this is a very slow news day so little to do at work...

    2- shouldn´t this be a male star? "a songwriter who has stepped into a working-class rock band..." Maybe I am old-fashioned but I can´t think of a female singer for a working class rock band.

    3- I don´t think its Beyonce/Solange. That girl can sing, no?

    6 - sounds like HP. Drugs can do that to ya...

    17- what does "on the boards" mean? my mind went straight to franco, since he is talking about his college experiences everywhere.

    29 -What on earth does this mean?

    ReplyDelete
  101. (10) Isn't Kelly Clarkson. I've seen her live and she puts on an amazing show. This seems like it should be more obvious--Amy Winehouse or Lily Allen, someone known for drinking.

    (3) Isn't Britney, because Jamie Lynn can't sing. I'd say Jessica/Ashlee, but Jessica's voice is WAY different than Ashlee's. The Duff sisters sound almost exactly the same, however. I'd go with them.

    (2) Has to be someone who's worked with Green Day, yes?

  102. The director with a beard for a wife is Ben Stiller, amirite?

  104. Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter are not married so they cannot be #4.

  105. "(Sidney is a Jew, her mother is the daughter of Lena Horne and a white guy)."


    Actually, Jenny Lumet's mother's father was a black guy, not a white guy. Her mother, Lena Horne, was married to a white (Jewish) man, but her children were from her first husband, who was black.

  107. 19 and 20: I really like everyone's guesses, but I can't see Portland, Oregon being upset about Chuck Palahniuk's homosexuality, its a pretty hippie, accepting city, lol.

    I can however see Raleigh, North Carolina, being upset with David Sedaris' homosexuality, however if they are omitting it from all materials they are doing a terrible job, hahaha.

  108. Geez, this is an overload. IMA do it 5 at a time.

    1. Not a woman. The obvious answers are women, but the gender is never specified, which means it's a man.

    2. Bon Jovi

    3. haylie/hillary duff

    these are my guesses. the unknown will keep me up at noght.
