Mickey Rourke Blind Item

"I worked with an actress recently who, despite having a reputation as a good actress, s**ts herself when that little red light comes on. She's fooled everyone into thinking she's a lot better than she is. Working with someone like that is a pain in the a**."

Has to be Evan Rachel Wood

Ryan said...

Evan Rachel Wood, FTW!

Cecilia00 said...

Tomei.

Ryan said...

Damn, beat me to it.

lmnop123 said...

Gwyneth or Scarlet J.

Evan Rachel Woods. Or Scarlett J.

Ryan said...

I think Tomei is a legitimately good actress. I think this has to be ERW.

jax said...

tomei is a bit of a lush according to enty,so maybe either her or ERW.

JW said...

Isn't the fact that she has terrible stage fright and yet has built up an apparently acclaimed body of work, actually testament to extraordinary acting ability. Just saying.

timebob said...

Evan is just HORRIBLE on True Blood. Really the worst actress on the show. Hope she gets killed off this season.

He also might be a bit bitter since he messed around with her on The Wrestler. She dumped him for one of her boy toys before finally going back to Marilyn Manson.

Momster said...

What's the little red light? The cue to start performing? Sorry to be so ignorant, lol.

Lady J said...

@Momster

Yeah its the cue that the camera is rolling and filming has began.

Lady J said...

My guess is Scarlett J. Sounds like whoever it is might have stage fright

Patty said...

I hope this is GOOP.

Jessica said...

Can't be Evan, she's barely done any acting and who would be thinking she is better than she actually is? That would generally mean that it's a common belief that she is a pretty good actress to begin with.

Sporky said...

I'm with Patty. Please God, let it be Fishsticks.

Sounds like the Goopster to me.

VeryUnseemly said...

Gwyneth.

KellyLynn said...

all of the above? My money's on Evan Rachel Wood. I don't get where she gets so much attention.

Pookie said...

goopy, but only b/c i don't like her.

other than that, i got nothin'.

callywally said...

maybe erw since she just dropped out of that spiderman musical...too nervous to perform live?

mooshki said...

ERW got lots of good press when she started out, so I think it's her. Gwyneth's ego is in too good shape for her to be nervous about performing.

Bella said...

GOOOOOOOPPPPP!!!

Little Miss Smoke and Mirrors said...

After seeing her epic FAIL on True Blood, I am 100 percent on the ERW train.

Danielle said...

Isn't he currently or very recently working with Megan Fox?? I was going to say her but I think I remember him saying something along the lines of her being a "genious and a goddess". I know. Yak!! lol

gadfly said...

Hate to be ignorant, but why is Goopy also referred to as "fishsticks"?

E. DuBois said...

I think we're talking about his Iron Man co-stars. Goopers got an Oscar - which was hardly well deserved and has not really distinguished herself since.

But, Scarlett Johanssen is TOTALLY overrated. She's been in some pretty prestige pictures and she plays the same energy, delivery and clearly can't act. And I think her career is starting to show it - all these other young actresses are on the come up with projects and where is she?? She's gorgeous, though so I suppose that's it.

blog hopper said...

He didn't recently work on The Wrestler. My money's on Scarlett Johanssen. Although I don't think she has "everyone" fooled- she's terrible.

Dasha said...

Evan Rachel Wood. She strikes me as being very insecure and her acting is terrible. But, ever since Thirteen, people talk about her like she's the next Meryl Streep. I totally thought of her when I saw this.

Does Mickey even have many scenes with Gwyneth? She has a very minor role in Iron Man 2.

Thea said...

ScarJo FTW! She somehow landed all those roles in Oscar-worthy and big blockbuster movies with such wooden, monotonous acting. Way overhyped. Don't know if there are any rumours out there, but it wouldn't surprise me if she got her start on the casting couch. I had hopes that she was more than just a gorgeous face, but that notion went out the window after her marriage to Ryan Reynolds.

callywally said...

scarlet and gwineth have both performed in theater productions. doubtful they would do that if this were a problem for either of them. erw.

Icecat said...

@gadfly - I believe Fishsticks Paltrow is a name Michael K gave her. I could be wrong though, and I'm not sure why..

I'm on the ERW train. She RUINED the moment for me when we finally got to meet the Queen. I was so excited (I was not very familiar with her work at the time) and it was just painful to watch....
I actually thought that she looked nervous on True Blood...
And YES Timebomb.. Let's hope they kill her off quicker then the books did!!

FrenchGirl said...

i like Evan Rachel Wood's acting,Johanson was so great in her first movies(translation,girl with a pearl...),Goopie (even if she's not my fav)was good in "2 lovers" so i say Tomei(big ego,diva and alcohol trouble)

it's funny to hear Rourke trash another difficult actress because he's very difficult on set on Darren Aronofski's opinion

Icecat said...

@Thea - ScarJo has been around for a while, since she was a child. I hope she didn't get her start on a casting couch, when she got the role in The Horse Whisperer. :P

Just Another Blonde said...

ERW....She is ruining True Blood.

Ice-Fishsticks comes from MK because she is as bland and soggy and boring looking as a freaking fishstick lol...suits her perfectly!

nothistime said...

Here's why I don't think it's ERW--because she was caught hanging around with Mickey Rourke after they finished their movie (some say they were even making out) and this quote sounds mean spirited as if he doesn't much care for this actress. I think this is ScarJo. Look at their recent press pictures, she looks awkward. Like not included.

Cancan said...

Wrestler was filmed ages ago. Must be someone from Iron Man II. Now, as ScarJo does NOT have a reputation as a good actress (SUCKS!!!!) must be Gwyneth.

timebob said...

I hope Mickey isn't sliding back to his bad ways. These kind of things get you passed on movie roles for being too difficult to work with again.

He got a free ticket back to A-list. I hope he doesn't blow it again with that ego of his.

Elle Kaye said...

And Sade has terrible stage fright, too, it doesn't make her a shitty singer. Either way, she has bigger balls than I ever would. Well, except if I'm shit faced and there is a karaoke machine nearby.

lalazz said...

Ted C. named Goop "Fishsticks" years ago, and then ran into her and she called him out on it. He said she was actually quite pretty in real life.

MISCH said...

I PRAY THIS IS GOOPIE ALSO

nancer said...

i think people hate EVW so much it affects their opinions of her as an actress. i found her heartbreaking in 'the wrestler.' i like her just fine. i also thought she was good in 'true blood.'

minority of one, but that's my 2 cents.

Danielle said...

Wow I think I'm actually right for once.. and no one else guessed it! Megan Fox is in the random photos today and so is michey rourke with his gf!

Cupcakewalker said...

Ted Casablanca gave Gwyneth the with-her-til-the-end nickname "Fishsticks" -- as in, cold as a fish, skinny and unappealing, and he kind of took it back after meeting her. I don't think it's her - I don't think Paltrow or Tomei are that insecure.

I would LOVE this to be Evan Rachel Wood - she's had almost nothing but raves (Once and Again, Thirteen, Pretty Persuasion, Down in the Valley) - but as many have written, her work on True Blood shows her as a terrible fucking actress, to go along with being a terrible fucking bitch (the sniping at Dita von Teese).

I win either way, though, because if it's Scarlett Johannsson or however the eff you spell her last name, that's also a force for good in terms people finally, FINALLY calling things as they are - if it weren't for her rack, she wouldn't work. She's like ERW with ridiculously overinflated reviews (Ghost World, Lost in Translation, Girl with a Pearl Earring, the vampy crap of Match Point and Vicky Cristina Barcelona) -- it took slower folk like 10 years to recognize that she's the same in every goddamn picture - bovine, arrogant and dumb.

If Mickey could work with Natalie Portman and then tell the world how shitty her acting is, he would have my love forever.

carolinec said...

whatever happened to that HIV+ Pop Star Blind Item? LL?

Borg Queen said...

I think its Megan Fox. Both she and Scarlett have stage fright. Scarlett mentioned it when she started rehearsals for her Bway show.

ERW sucks as the Queen on True Blood but did fool around with Mickey. ERW was a better actress when she was younger. The reason why ERM dropped out of the Spiderman musical was the answer to a CDAN blind item. ERW was banging the director and her husband and got tired of being theyre plaything.

Marissa Tomei is supposedly a drunk but still can act & got an Oscar.

Megan has not acted in anything other than the Transformer movies and we all know she had to wash Michael Bay's car in short shorts to get the part.

Plus if anyone saw Fox on SNL she SUCKED. She was used more as a prop than as the main star of the skits. She only had lines in the digital shorts & they even sucked as well. She is a pretty face with an empty head.

As for Mickey's comments about Fox being a genius sounds like he was being "Hollywood-politically correct" and not rocking the boat. Actually this is the sort of this Mickey would do. Say the opposite of what he feels. Mickey isnt stupid. He knows he got a 2nd chance and is not going to do anything to blow it. So far he's doing a nice job.

Majik said...

I gotta go with GOOP on this one...if you see her on camera "impromptu" interviews, she looks nervous as hell. I've never seen an actress look so terrified and say such stupid things...of course, that may just be her.

ERW has been acting since she was a child, so I really doubt it's her...and ScarJo is too full of herself not to LOVE having the camera on her, imo.

Steph said...

It's Scar Jo. She has a reputation of having severe stage fright. She even admitted as much before taking her Broadway turn.

I also thinks her scenes in Iron Man are with Rourke's character not Fishsticks.

bionic bunny! said...

tons of people have terrible stage fright and soldier on. carly simon, anyone?
i've always thought scarjo was a terrible actress, but that doesn't mean she has stage fright. in fact, i'd think she's over secure.
i have no guesses, who am i kidding?

lollydarling said...

Scarlett Johannson was in Ghost World (?), giving a very natural and extremely well-reviewed performance way before The Horse Whisperer. At 13 or so, I think. It would be very unusual if a child star who had graduated into doing an equally well-reviewed performance in an Arthur Miller play on Broadway had this level of nerves. Not impossible, just very unusual.

kiera knightley

Thea said...

@Icecat - Oops, my bad. No clue she was a child actress (never saw any of her previous movies), thought she was first noticed in "Lost in Translation" (or at least that's when it seemed like the overhyping started anyway). Thanks for clearing that up!

PotPourri said...

Evan Rachel Wood is a KID! How about Scarlet J for the win. Without Woody Allen as her director, she stinks on ice, like dead fish.

Kat said...

Oh please let this be MT. She ruined 'Before The Devil Knows You're Dead'.

Rufus II said...

Gwyneth thinks too much of herself to ever be self conscious or nervous.

TheGoodRain said...

Also, Evan Rachel Wood's parents ran a theater in the Carolinas, according to her IMDB. She'd have been on stage since birth. It would be hard for her to have stage fright.

I read a report that all of Olivia Munn's Iron Man scenes had to be reshot. Some say it's because they wanted to make the storyline darker, but it could also be construed as "she sucks."
