Michael Musto Blind Items - Part One

1. Which slightly horsey yet sexy young actress is a lesbian, gamely accessorized with one of those perennial girlfriend-slash-assistants? What does that say about her boyfriend?

2. Which soul legend approves outfits after being presented with drawings of them in a size two? (If she says, “Uh-huh,” her designer proceeds to make them in a size 2000.)

3. Which Broadway diva who didn’t get the part in that movie musical eventually telegrammed the legendary composer with, “Liked the movie. Wish her music had been better served”? (His sardonic response: “Who asked you, you fucking cunt?”)

4. Who once introduced herself to a theater actress by saying, “Hi, I’m [so-and-so], star of [Disney spoof movie]“? Who asked you, etc., etc.?

5. Which hunky ’70s tennis star used to like three-ways with women, one of whom he would charmingly ask to insert a dildo in his butt? (I guess the other one kept score.)

  1. 1. Jessica Biel but she is not atractive to me she is skinny now her so called ass is gone now. Her movies flop and all she has is the status of being jt girlfriend. Wonder what will happen to her when he decides to ditch her.

    For the rest I've got nothing.

  18. Oooooh, I'm liking these salacious blinds!

    Of course I have no answers, but this is some good gossip.

    ReplyDelete
  19. 1. Anne Hathaway
    2. Aretha
    3. I'd say Holliday, but she's living in Atlanta now. Lupone is definitely a better guess IMHO.
    4. La Lohan
    5. McEnroe

    ReplyDelete
  20. 1. Beil is definitely horse-faced.
    2. Got to be Aretha.
    3. Just to be different, I'll guess Sheryl Lee Ralph & Dreamgirls.
    4. Has Miley done a spoof movie?
    5. Ilie Nastase. Maxim has him listed as #6 on their list of living sex legends.

  21. McEnroe was only 18 in 1977 and not a yet a star. '79 he won his first Grand Slam - 1980 Wimbleton finals for the first time, against Bjorn Borg, who was in his 5th Wimbleton Final. Something to think about.

    ReplyDelete
  22. 1-I can't imagine!
    2-Aretha
    3-Patti Lupone
    4-Denise Richards (definitely!)
    5-Jimmy Connors

    ReplyDelete
  23. 3. I agree-- it's Lupone and Sweeney Todd. I love HBC but she can't sing, and she mutilated those songs!

    ReplyDelete
  24. as much as i love johnny mac, i have NEVER thought hunky. seems more like borg, nastase or maybe jimmy conners, who did marry a playmate.

    1 has got to be biel--pics were floating around of her and her assistant with hands in back pockets last year--can't think you do that with an employee or friend.

    please don't let 4 be amy adams, i love her.

    and if you read 3 as "her" music, considering that dreamgirls was based on the supremes, i would have to think this is jennifer holliday.

    ReplyDelete
  25. for #4 I thought of "ON-UH" Farris, but she wasn't a Disney spoofer.
    I can just picture her being so nice and ditsy listing her movie credits waiting for recognition...

    ReplyDelete
  26. I think that #1 is actually AnnaLynn McCord~ heard this about her before...not sure about the boyfriend.

    ReplyDelete
  27. What's a Disney spoof film? Something like Scary Movie (which was done by Disney's Dimension Films)?

    ReplyDelete
  28. Well, Lindsay Lohan did have that major freakout when she realized her old assistant was working for Jessica Biel... and that was way before LL "came out".

    Freakout over old employee working for someone else = meh.

    Freakout over secret lesbian lover / old employee working for another secret lesbian = awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  29. #1 - Julia Roberts. Though you lost me at young and sexy. She is my guess for any horse or bitch blind.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Does Disney movie spoof mean a spoof on Disney movies like Enchanted (which was also made by Disney) or just a spoof movie made by Disney like Scary Movie?

    Either way, what spoof has Denise Richards been in? She was in Scary Movie 3 but that was after Wild Things, The World is Not Enough, Drop Dead Gorgeous...I don't think she would choose Scary Movie 3 as her introduction film. At that point, she probably would just assume since she's such a big star, introductions aren't necessary.

  31. 1. Hilary Swank
    5. John McEnroe

    ReplyDelete
  32. 1. I had originally thought of Anne Hathaway, but I am going with Jessica Biel.

    2. Ham sandwiches down, Aretha.
    3. At first I thought of Jennifer Holliday with Dreamgirls (and I was SO hoping that it wasn't because I've met and actually like her), so I'm glad that Patti Lupone's name was mentioned. I can see Patti doing that for either Sweeney Todd or Evita.
    4. ?
    5. Never much of a tennis fan, let alone in the 70s

    ReplyDelete
  33. Jessica Biel for #1. She is such a lesbian (there's nothing wrong with it but I just wish all the gays would come out of the closet already!)

    Alas...I hope #5 is NOT Bjorn Borg, I had such a crush on him. I didn't think Jimmy Connors was really considered a "hunk" in the 70's, so I'm going to go with Ilie Nastase, I heard he was a huge partier then.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I don't see the big deal about #5. So what if he liked three-ways and toys in the 70's. Didn't everyone?

    ReplyDelete
  35. Aha, Jessica Biel, interesting! And that would make her boyfriend's situation VERY interesting, as he's such a big deal.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Musto's blinds are the best ever.

    ReplyDelete
  37. # 4 has got to be one of the twits from High School Musical.
    #5 Ilie Nastase. In the 70s he was the hottest tennis player around.

    ReplyDelete
  38. 1. When I hear horse-face I think of Rumer Willis, although I would never consider her to be sexy.

    2. Aretha. Dear god, I don't like that woman.

    3. No clue.

    4. Amy Adams, from Disney's Enchanted

    5. No Clue.

    ReplyDelete
  39. As much as I love Patti Lupone, I could see her as #3 with Sweeney Todd being the movie. She played the role twice on Broadway.

    HBC couldn't sing at all (although, I thought she gave a great acting performance), but Sondheim fawned over her in the documentary on the DVD.

    ReplyDelete
  40. 1. Biel or Hathaway
    2. Aretha
    3. Lupone
    4. Carmen Electra
    5. Guillermo Vilas, Ilie Nastase, and the late Vitas Gerulaitis were the biggest playboys on the tour in the 1970s. All-time best sports quote: Connors was 16-0 against Vitas, and after Gerulaitis finally beat Connors to end that streak of futility, the first thing he said in the press conference was "Nobody beats Vitas Gerulaitis 17 times in a row."

    ReplyDelete
  41. I thought of Ivan Lendl immediately for #5 but I guess he was big in the '80s not the '70s.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I KNOW every guesses Hathaway for the closeted actress blinds and I KNOW there are tons of stories about her and Emily Blunt. But her brother is gay, and she is VERY supportive of him, and having known everything he's gone through I just cannot believe that she could be in the closet. Perhaps it was just EB that is the lesbian and Anne was testing her curiousity? I dunno, maybe I'm in denial. (not about her being a lesbian, if she is I have NO problem with that, just about the fact that she would stay in the closet and lie about it which is pretty much a slap in the face to her brother)

    ReplyDelete
  43. While I can certainly imagine Sondheim using that language, I don't think Patti Lupone would ever refer to the Sweeney songs as being 'hers.' The part was written for the wonderful, legendary, Sondheim BFF Angela Lansbury. She won a Tony for it.
    Although IF another actress DID attempt to lay claim to Lansbury's songs, Sondheim would definitely put her in her place!
    Yeah, and for some reason, the EXTREMELY picky Sondheim LOVED HBC for the role. If he weren't gay, I would suspect he got a BJ. HBC is not above that.

    ReplyDelete
  44. #5- EWWW! Just..eww. I mean, people can do what they want, if they're consenting adults and all, but that makes me want to vomit. Why would ANYONE want to shove a piece of plastic up their ass? Or up anywhere, for that matter? I guess I'm a hopeless prude, but if the alternative means shoving stuff up your various orifices, I'm damn proud to be one. BARF.

    (I really think I might be kinda scarred for life here...LOL)
