Today's Blind Items

Today's blind is actually not one of my own, but it came from Post Secret and ever since a reader mailed it to me, I have been thinking about it. There are not very many clues, but if they are accurate, it shouldn't be that hard to guess.

"The morning after you hit our 10-year-old daughter, we all stood there and watched as a fan asked for your autograph."

    Yesterday, there was a follow-up postcard sent that said:

    "We all suspected. Take your 10 year old and leave! We'll help, I promise."

  2. Yes! This has been getting me! I'm confused. Is it an entertainer or an athlete? There are so many possibilities and it's not possible to narrow this one down.

  12. Kate Beckinsdale has a 10 year old also.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Hmm.

    If the mother is filing for a divorce or said that in some sort of statement, I don't know Shaq popped up in my head, because I can imagine people wanting his autograph, and maybe thats why his wife left to LA, to get the kids away from him? Crazy guess but I googled the ages of his kids, and he has 2 daughters, and a step daughter along with 2 sons

    ReplyDelete
  14. omg, HeyThere, thx for the research!

    eeep...that was such a sad post secret...

    ReplyDelete
  15. Posh and Becks have a 10-year-old, too.

    ReplyDelete
  16. i think the parents again are together so we can take away the divorced parents!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Rolf, the main reason I really like the Palin guess is that Levi said he had 'a lot more stuff' that could really destroy her. I was trying to think of something other than the rumor that she is really Trig's grandmother (which I think her hardcore crowd would forgive, since they probably know lots of people who did this way back when).
    Child abuse would kill her, for sure.
    But do you think Todd Palin would choose a high-end postcard w/ Koi?

    Sorry. I like to fantasize about Palin being exposed as a redneck hypocrite. Halfway there!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Wow and sick. The Cindy Crawford-Randy Gerber connection kind of made me feel a little ill after last week's allegations.

    @m, where did this last postcard come from? What is Post Secret.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Wow, Hey There!! Good research! The weird thing is that even before I read HeyThere's list, David Duchovny popped into my head out of nowhere, and I didn't have any clue how old their children are. It's double weird, because I'm a fan even with all his recent behavior. However, I'm always a little suspicious anyone who goes to a rehab setting for sex addiction. I always figure that's just the PR cover for something much more damning, like say having rage/abuse issues. There's not much that is considered bad publicity anymore, but beating women and children is still taboo - thank God!

    ReplyDelete
  20. ON a serious note, I think most can agree that the card itself suggests a woman wrote it?

    The problem w the card is that this could have happened 10 years ago. Maybe the writer is long divorced and recently thinking about it all.
    I'm sorry. I don't want to be a buzzkill.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Who could consist of in the "We all" part? that sticks out to me alot...

    ReplyDelete
  22. it's not Crawford/Gerber family because that is their SON who is 10.

    ReplyDelete
  23. this is post secret:

    http://www.postsecret.blogspot.com/

    ReplyDelete
  24. Not from the text it's a woman, but the fact that it's high-end, artsy, w/ a lovely painting of Koi fish. Not the kind of thing most straight men would even run across in their daily wanderings.

    I don't have a link to the postcard right now.

    ReplyDelete
  25. @lottacolada: they could have several children!

    i say Don Johnson because he's again married with the mother of his 10 years old daughter , he has several children with her and she's not famous or rich

    ReplyDelete
  26. Thanks hey There!
    I'm voting Rosie
    She's mental with anger issues big time
    I could see her having zero patience with those kids
    and then cranking up the
    charm the next day with fans
    to keep all those estates
    up and running
    Feel so sorry for the kids if Kelli escaped without them

    ReplyDelete
  27. this is the actual postcard

  28. even if Duchovny/leoni guess sounds interesting

    @Jacinta: postsecret.com

    People mail 4X6 postcards with their secrets on them and they get published anonymously on the website. Sometimes they are funny, but I find a lot of them to be very sad.

    The second postcard was published yesterday and it was mentioned on the site that it was a follow-up to the first which was sent last week.

    That being said, I can't figure it out. I think the second postcard would imply the abuser is a man and that the mom needs help leaving, but who knows. The abuser could be a celebrity, a politician, an athlete ... anybody. Maybe Ent can give us clues to who he thinks it is...

    ReplyDelete
  30. thats the 1 from yesterday with handwriting

    ReplyDelete
  31. Oh Enty, my love for you grows exponentially with each post!

    My routine every Sunday morning is make the coffee, read Post Secret.

    I was wondering how this was, too. For some reason, I felt it was an athlete.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Too hard to guess, but how sad...

    ReplyDelete
  33. you know what, i was thinking about rosie o'donnell

    ReplyDelete
  34. it has to be someone who is married/with someone as the 2nd card implies

    ReplyDelete
  35. You guys, it doesn't say that the child is CURRENTLY ten years old; it implies that the kid was ten when she was beaten by the dude in question. It's written in the past tense.

    That said, I have no goddamn clue. It's obviously someone with a daughter ten or older than ten whose ex/wife/partner whatever hates him and wants some passive-aggressive retaliation. Alec Baldwin?

    ReplyDelete
  36. Yes, Guttersnipey. AND was married to his baby mama, or at least w her long enough to have a 10-year old.

    ReplyDelete
  37. After looking over my research, my vote is for Duchovny.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I'm going with Rosie, didn't Kelly get custody?

    ReplyDelete
  39. on the rosie train.

    ReplyDelete
  40. OMG Enty, you posted it! Thank you! (I sent it in, sorry I'm having my brush with fame moment...)

    I wrote to Enty that my initial guess was Alex Baldwin. He obviously has a temper and had that episode when he called his daughter Ireland a pig on her voicemail. She was 11 at the time. This secret does not say the child in question is currently 10 years old. It could mean the child is 10 now but wasn't when it happened, is 10 now and the incident happened recently, etc.

    There's also no way of knowing if it's an actor, musician, politician, athlete, model, reality show person, news personality, etc. Biggest of all, there's no way of knowing if it's even real -- but I would venture to guess it is.

    For those who have asked, Post Secret is an amazing art project in which people write their deepest secrets on Post Cards and send them anonymously to a man who posts them on his blog every week. http://postsecret.blogspot.com/

    ReplyDelete
  41. I don't think the choice of postcard points necessarily to a woman; those are the generic ready-stamped postcards that the post office is currently selling.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I DON'T THINK IT'S KATE BECKINSALE SHE'S NOT MARRIED TO HER DAUGHTER'S FATHER....
    IT STINKS WHOEVER IT IS...

    ReplyDelete
  43. this secret bothered me too since i read it and then again with the follow up this week. :(

    ReplyDelete
  44. I'll jump on the Rosie train as well...

    Whoever it is implies that only one of them is famous, why wouldn't they ask for BOTH of their autographs if it were Kim Basinger, Tea Leoni, etc etc.

    ReplyDelete
  45. I was thinking Alec Baldwin too!! Though Rosie does have a temper I doubt that its her. As much as I would love for this to be Palin, I think the dirt Levi has on her is of a sexual nature.

    ReplyDelete
  46. The daughter has to be at least 10 now. I suspect that the child in question is older, and that the sender probably waited quite a while before sending it. It was probably something that was simmering for some time. I wouldn't be surprised if the incident took place years ago.

    ReplyDelete
  47. I'm on the Rosie Train. Their split was fairly recent and as a non-famous person, Kelli would be more likely to use Post Secret than another celeb I suppose. She probably is trying to avoid a public fight.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Halle Berry had a hit & run.

    This is truly a knee-jerk guess, don't mean anything awful by it...

    ReplyDelete
  49. I saw this on postsecret as well and thought about sending it to you but forgot. Then I saw the follow up. I, too, think the parents are still together, it was just the tone I got off the email.

    On the Levi topic,I have a friend who lives near Sarah Palin and they have mutual friends/aquantances. She told me when SP first came into the headlines that her daughter was pregnant, before it was announced through the media, and that they were going to hide it. Also she said Bristol got pg on purpose. I believe Levi when he says he has lots of dirt on her. But I still think he's a loser.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I thought Rosie based on above but I think the birthdate for Vivienne has the wrong year. I think it was 2002.
    However, the adopted daughter Chelsea was born in 1997 and since Kelli moved out 2 years ago, Chelsea would have been 10 at the time. But Kelli only took Viv (her biological child) with her when she went.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I must not be understanding the thing like everyone else is...

    I gathered that the speaker is not related to the perpetrator.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Damn, Funny Girl! I thought you had it for sure! She killed a boy.

    I found a site that has celebrity mugshots. Wondering if "we all stood there and watched" means people who were at a courthouse.

    ReplyDelete
  53. i'm not sure why, but for some reason Duchovny really stuck out from that list above. maybe he just fits more than the others?

    ReplyDelete

  55. Wow, it is interesting to see some bad rumors become fact. Rosie and Kelli split two years ago as she said on her show last week. The kids are not split up, all 4 are togther as she has stated on her blog several times in response to readers. I am not saying this isn't her, just that several seem to have the facts wrong.
    I am an Alec Baldwin fan for his work on 30 Rock, but he was the first one to pop into my brain when I read this.

    ReplyDelete
  56. I'm glad you posted this, Enty.

    I thought about sending it to you because I too was curious as to who it could possibly be. I didn't because I emailed you once a really long time ago and you never responded (I'm sure you get tons of email and can't possibly answer them all!) so I didn't know if you'd post it.

    My first thought was some kind of athlete but I truly don't know.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Hi. Maybe Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger and Ireland. Remember that voice mail about him calling her names? Otherwise, I don't know who it is.

    Have a nice day everyone.

    ReplyDelete
  58. I guess I'll be a buzzkill too. Autographs are a dime a dozen. People want signatures from damn near everyone. Sure, it could be a major celebrity, but chances are it's someone the majority of us have never heard of, like the 5pm anchor from the ABC affiliate in Tampa, or a minor league baseball player in the Midwest.

    ReplyDelete
  59. If you want to consider people whose daughters are now older than 10, I'm going to throw another one out there: Robin Wright and Sean Penn. Their daughter Dylan is 18 now (born 1991), and he doesn't exactly have the best reputation, to put it mildly. He would already have been an Oscar nominee by 2001 (not to mention tabloid fodder since his marriage to Madonna), so he was certainly well-known enough to be approached by fans...thoughts?

    ReplyDelete
  60. I don't know. I think the follow up postcard indicates the original postcard came from someone who is currently with the hitter, and that the daughter is 10 now. That the follow up came from a third party in the situation, who mailed it after seeing the original one.

    That being said, I don't know who it may be.

    ReplyDelete
  61. The person who wrote the note and this person's daugther may not be famous at all.

    Assuming it's a female who wrote the note, her daughter could've been hit by a car of ANY random celebrity, and the next day, the woman and her husband (the daughter's father) could've watched this random celebrity sign an autograph.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I agree with WineGirl X that "The person who wrote the note and this person's daugther may not be famous at all."

    That's how I read it. The person who hit the little girl is famous but not the girl and her parents.

    ...

    ReplyDelete
  63. I read it as a politician as well - its the 'we all' comment, it just screams family photo opportunity to me. While id love it to be Palin I dont think it is.

    I love postsecret so much! Everyone who doesnt know what it is should go take a long look. I agree with 'm' 'some of the secrets on there have been desperatly sad but some of them have been hysterical as well.

    A long time ago there was another sort of blind on there too. It was a postcard with lots of pictures of male A and B list celebrities on and it it said something like 'one of these men is the father and he pays me a LOT to keep it quiet.'

    I always wondered about that one..

    ReplyDelete
  64. "The Morning After" was a song from the original "The Towering Inferno" starring non-other than OJ Simpson. I think this is a very old secret.

    ReplyDelete
  65. My first thought was that "The morning after" lead-in was a reference to the movie by the same title. It's an older film, maybe 1980s. Starred Jane Fonda and Jeff Bridges. I wondered if she has any granddaughters.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Is there something I haven't heard about Duchovny? I mean there is obviously that whole sex addict thing and I think a lot of people guessed him and Sarandon's daughter for that one blind but I have never heard of him being particularly violent.

    ReplyDelete
  67. Oh and my guess based on the facts so far is Alec B.

    ReplyDelete
  68. When I first read the blind I took it as someone nonfamous whose child was hit by car by a famous person. But now I can see it as a wife/husband of a famous person who hit their own child. The blind is way too vague to even begin to guess who it is. Thanks HeyThere for compiling a list of possibilities. It could be someone you least expect and as others have pointed out this could have occurred several years ago, it doesn't necessarily have to be recent. I wonder who it is.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Nope Nancy - "The Morning After" was from "The Poseidon Adventure"...

    ReplyDelete
  70. I also LOVE Post Secret!
    Thanks for posting this item, I however have no clue on a guess.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Do you think there may be a chance that the 2nd posting is mistaken by who the first posting is? Perhaps they don't even know each other?

    ReplyDelete
  72. I'm with Robin the Mad Photographer on this one.

    Sean Penn fits the bill exactly. Perhaps Robin Wright is doing some therapy as of late and this is part of it ;)

    ReplyDelete
  73. Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger were split well before Ireland turned 10, so I don't think this is him. Have no idea though. Hope she leaves.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Not Rosie, all four kids are with her and she and Kelli are working out their issues together, they split up about 2 years ago.

    Ent is implying this is not hard to guess, so there has got to be something that is missing or something more subtle going on here.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Interesting we are assuming this is a man that hit the daughter, it could just a well be the mom who is famous and hit the child.

    ReplyDelete
  76. why are we assuming that the child/writer is related to a celebrity? when i read this on post secret last week, the thought of that never cross my mind.

    ReplyDelete
  77. If I had to guess though it would be Sean Penn or Alec Baldwin just because of their anger issues. Is this an isolated incident is he/she a habitual abuser/hitter, are they married, or ? Lots of questions here.

    On a totally different topic, I now think MV could be JLo (Madonna is my first choice), based on Lainey's commentary of her performance.

    "Once upon a time, Jennifer Lopez was a pretender who faked out the music industry, tolerated for a while because she recorded catchy songs written by other people, until the sales started dropping and the novelty wore off. Now there’s nothing left. She is playing in the wrong league."


    Just wondering....

    ReplyDelete
  78. Frank gets shit loads of mail al he time and sometimes it can takes a long time to get on the site.

    i vote for rosie o. there has been TONS of whispers of abuse in that house. sad.

    ReplyDelete
  79. I don't think this is about Rosie, and I don't believe she abuses her kids. There's no way Kelli would have moved out two years ago without the kids if Rosie was abusing them, come on! (Yes, ALL four kids are living with Rosie, Kelli did not take Vivi with her.)

    Also, Kelli had her own money when she met Rosie (she's a trust fund baby and she was an executive at Nickelodeon) and she still has her own money, so it's not like she left the kids behind because she couldn't afford to take care of them. If they were being abused she would have done everything to protect her children, she has all the resources to do so.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Sorry, I said "she left the kids behind" referring to Kelli, and that was a poor choice of words. Kelli didn't leave the kids behind, she is still actively parenting them, she didn't abandon her children. She moved out of the family home, but she didn't stop being their mom and loving them, etc.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Jax - Is the name outing Enty??

    ReplyDelete
  82. This one is going to drive me nuts! At first i thought "The morning after" was a clue and knew it was a song, so some of the artists who sing it are:

    Maureen McGovern
    Linkin Park
    Roy Orbinson
    Howie Day

    and several others, so I think I am on the wrong track. Other questions are:

    Is the daughter hit part of the "we all stood there" and did she have any marks on her or is she in the hospital or was she hit by a car? Is there a morning outing photograph of a famous person with their family? I am reading way too much into this but if this an ongoing abuse problem the woman or man needs to get the kids out and go!

    I keep thinking Kate B for this, if a woman, otherwise I am at a total loss.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Frank is the Post Secret guy

    ReplyDelete
  84. I looked at the postcard that is currently up at Pop secret, with the reply to the original. And the current postcard has a current postal stamp on it. Dated Nov 16 2009.

    So I am assuming this is a current issue with the abuse. And not some long ago transgression of Alec Baldwin.

    But sadly I do suspect Kim Basinger left him for being abusive to her. So he is still a tool. But just not this tool.

    ReplyDelete
  85. babs- thank you for correcting the song reference, i thought i was going nuts for a minute.

    my thoughts immediately went to baldwin, postmark be damned.
    but eddie murphy has turned into a real ass in the last few years....
