Today's Blind Items
This A list comic movie actor is looking for a new assistant. The pay is six figures which is extremely high for an assistant. The reason it is so high? Well first of all there is travel 70% of the time and you have to deal with one of the most obnoxious, irritating, pains in the asses in the business. Our actor has tried to offer less money in the past but they all quit after a few days. As it is he can barely hang on to them for long.
stiller?
ReplyDeleteA list comic movie actor who's an ass? Ben Stiller is the first one that comes to mind...
ReplyDelete6 figures is awfully tempting.
ReplyDeleteI'd say Chris Tucker but he is not A-List. That is someone I don't think I could put up with even for 7 figures.
Will Ferrel?
ReplyDeleteBen Stiller?
Mike Myers, per LaineyGossip, is a huge ass. I vote for Mike Myers.
ReplyDeleteI'll go with Ben Stiller for this one. Unfortunately A list and definitely obnoxious.
ReplyDeleteBen Stiller is a dork.
ReplyDeleteRobin Williams?
ReplyDeleteI'd put up w/an asshole for that kind of money. I would. I promise.
ReplyDeleteCan I get that job! I don't mind travel 70% of the time!
ReplyDeleteStiller? Eddie Murphy? Either Wilson brother? The choices are endless.
ReplyDeleteHow do we sign up?
ReplyDeleteWhy do i think on Ben Stiller in first?
ReplyDeleteI vote for Stiller too.
ReplyDeleteimmediately thought of stiller.
ReplyDeleteBen Stiller. And I see most of us agree.
ReplyDeleteAt least s/he will never have to run for take-out for him.
Robin Williams annoys the heck out of me so I vote for him.
ReplyDeleteAnd how do these stars get so dickish, anyway? A life of being in the public eye?
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know if his parents are nice people IRL?
ROBIN WILLIAMS....24/7
ReplyDeletewhen lainey starts revealing her blinds, we'll start believing her 'sources', otherwise no dice from Jax.
ReplyDeleteI vote Stiller, he's the only guy who could pay that.
I think it's Will Ferrell - he is a huge pain, and his costar from Land of the Lost is conveniently in the Random Photos.....
ReplyDeleteWill Farrell could pay that, too. And he's requisitely busy if 70% travel is necessary. But since he did Bear Grylls' show, I would also be on the Stiller 'train.'
ReplyDeleteDumbass.
Jim Carrey ??
ReplyDeleteUhm, can you send me that Craig's List posting, I'm getting abused and shat on for practically minimum wage. I'd be willing to take abuse for six digits.
ReplyDeleteSix figures. Are you allowed to talk back w/o getting fired when you feel it must be done? If so, would do it, but I'm not getting ANYONE any hoors or drugs.
ReplyDeleteHe must be insanely bad for HWood PAs to keep quitting.
ReplyDeleteIs Stiller that bad?
My immediate thought was Eddie Murphy. He's totally jumped the shark doing family movies, but he's def A list. There's gotta be a reason he can't get anything else going. Maybe because he's obnoxious, irritating, and a pain in the arse?
ReplyDeleteI'm just sayin' ......
No thanks. I can't stand being talked down to. Screw him and his six figures. Please Karma hurry and get him.
ReplyDeletePerhaps it's the spouse of the A list actor that is the pain in the ass. That being said, I have no guess.
ReplyDeleteIs Dane Cook considered A list yet?
ReplyDeleteI'll toss my lot in with the Mike Myers guess
ReplyDeleteI agree with Mike Myers. I think Stiller is such an ass that he would still think it a privilege to work with him, and therefore not have to pay that much.
ReplyDeleteI have heard that Stiller is awful. He is my guess.
ReplyDeleteThis ass is Ben Stiller, but I have no doubt that Williams, Murphy, Myers, etc. are asses too.
ReplyDeleteWhy the hate for Will Ferrell? I hope he isn't an ass, because it would hurt to find that out.
ReplyDeleteI so wish Majik was right. First person I thought of was Jim Carrey because he seems kind of needy. btw, I thought people who won awards weren't supposed to know until envelope-opening time, unless they can't be there. Am I wrong?
I'm so torn between Ben and Mike.
ReplyDeletei was gonna say jim carey.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Ben Stiller and the anorexic actor blind that is attributed to him, he was on Howard Stern a few weeks ago and Robion asked him why he was so thin -- he said he was still gaining weight from making the Smithsonian movie -- didn't he film that a year ago?
ReplyDeleteI'm still with Stiller--Where is Mike Myers (and his crappy career--the Love Guru, anyone?) traveling to?
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was Jack Black. Ben Stiller may be an ass but he is also a producer and director. I get the feeling that would have been mentioned.
ReplyDeleteThen again, I also get the feeling that Jack Black is alright.
*jumps on ben stiller train*
ReplyDeleteLisa (the original), " but I'm not getting ANYONE any hoors or drugs."
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAAAA! I love that.
Toss up--Stiller or Ferrell. Stiller's probably the bigger a-hole.

You can rule out entertainment lawyer at CDAN because he’s actually a she.
Got this from Blind Gossip...
what about Alec Baldwin?
ReplyDeleteThat makes so much sense. But I also liked the guess that Enty is actually Chunk from The Goonies.

ReplyDeleteI think it's been made more than clear that Ent. is a man.
ReplyDeleteJim Carey is an A+ Asshole.
ReplyDeletei haven't read any guesses but i think it's mike meyers
ReplyDeleteThe first person that came to mind was Stiller, so Stiller it is for me.
ReplyDeleteI thought there was 1 main writers abnd 3 or 4 part time Enty's. One is def. a woman, you can tell by the stylistic choices. Also in random references that date the different writers. They would have to have complete storyboarded plan going on to keep it all on track. Clueless wadrobe machine anyone?! lol!
ReplyDeletestiller popped in my mind right away
ReplyDeleteYa know, it never did make sense to me how Enty has so much time to write these articles, and then still be a lawyer. Having a few extra Entys makes sense, but it's still weird to me. What first brought about this idea?
ReplyDeleteRegardless, the original Enty is definitely a man. He's gone through several wives, not husbands.
for me Eddie Murphy is the most obnoxious one. I wouldn't even work for him, when the pay would be seven figures...
ReplyDeleteso: TheMurphster is my suspect.
Oooh, I like the Eddie Murphy guess. He can afford it too/
ReplyDeleteFirst time poster so go easy!
ReplyDeletewhat ab Sasha Cohen? He travels everywhere for those movies he does and I can see him being SUPER OBNOXIOUS especially while in character.
That being said my obvious first choice was Stiller
My first thought was Jim Carrey, but I'll go with Stiller.
ReplyDeleteI bet his shrewish social-climbing wife has worked him into an ano franzy. I bet, married to the right woman, he'd be a little more grounded and pleasant.
Does anyone still consider Mike Myers an A-list comic after 'The Love Guru'?
ReplyDeleteI'm putting my money with Stiller.
I'd still take the job! :)
ReplyDeletePoor Enty, he works so hard, no one believes one person could do it all! Love you, big guy!
ReplyDeleteWhat about Bill Murray? He does a lot of celebrity golf pro-ams and so would travel often...
ReplyDeleteI believe it's Stiller and I believe the "most obnoxious, irritating, pain in the ass" is Stiller's wife, Christine Taylor. After all, Enty words the BI in a way that doesn't necessarily mean that the employer is the jerk. Though they are both douchebags.
ReplyDeleteBill Cosby
ReplyDeleteAlso, I dont think Enty is a lawyer. If he/she is a lawyer then he/she has lots of assistants/writers to help write the blog.
ReplyDeleteI am an attorney and I cant fathom the idea of writing a gossip blog on a daily basis AND keeping up with my legal practice. Its just not possible without help.
Enty, you're literally too good to be true! :)
ReplyDeleteSome other sites are guessing Christian Bale, taking "comic actor" to mean that he is in movies based on comic books.
ReplyDeleteJust putting that out there.
Where do I send the resume?
ReplyDelete@Harriet Hellfire: Christian Bale has no assistant(but he has a cellphone LOL)
ReplyDeleteon another BI site, they said Borat Guy. A reader was at his office for the job and he said her she 'll sleep in a bedroom without door next to him !
Dane Cook is an 'A' list comic, sold out arenas so yes lots of traveling but an 'A' list comic actor?
ReplyDeleteBest's Friend's girl didn't even crack 20 million.
