Today's Blind Item
This smoky voiced actress who used to be B list when she was on a hit show is now a struggling C with some issues. One of her issues seems to be that even though she went to an event with a date, it did not stop her from hitting on almost every guy she saw or who came up to her. Every five seconds she would excuse herself from her date, go get a number, and then come back and cozy up to the guy like nothing was going on.
Maybe the date was a friend.

ReplyDeleteMy first thought was Kristen Johnson from 'Third Rock From the Sun'.
ReplyDeleteFran Dresher on the Nanny and now she has a reality show.
ReplyDeleteAlso I was thinking Kathleen Turner as she was on Californication although I think she mostly did movies before.
Kirstie Alley? If so, get it, gurl!
ReplyDeleteMiley?
ReplyDeleteooooohhh I love the Miley guess that girl is smoky like someone who has smoked for 40 years! LOl
ReplyDeleteSounds like she brought her male wingman as her date. Been there, it works
ReplyDeleteFran Drescher is definitely not smoky-voiced. I also don't think it's Kathleen Turner. I think that the fact that the actress kept scoring numbers gives us an age range that excludes her. I have no decent guesses as of now, but I'm vetoing the nanny and turner.
ReplyDeleteI like the Miley guess.
ReplyDeleteShannon Doherty
ReplyDeleteThis is a shot in the dark, but what about Jamie Pressly? She was everywhere around the time of My Name Is Earl, but now -- not so much. I'm pretty sure she's a recent divorcee, which would be an obvious reason for why she was playing the field.
ReplyDeleteOoh, that's a great guess KellyLynn.
ReplyDeleteHer DUI = "issues."
ReplyDeleteLaura Prepon?
ReplyDeleteWhat about Drea de Matteo? I dont know if thats spelled right..but she smokey voiced and has taken a slide professionally since sopranos. Although I think she is married..
ReplyDeleteI kind of like the Laura Prepon guess. Although she's a Scientologist, doesn't that preclude her from hitting on anyone not in the COS, or that at least she can convert?
ReplyDeletealthough, I take that back. Smokey-voiced would not be my first description of Laura Prepon's voice.
ReplyDeleteThe two I thought of are married, Demi & Angie Harmon....
ReplyDeleteMischa Barton has a really unusual voice and is a little slutty
ReplyDeleteI love the Kirstie Alley guess.
ReplyDeleteI like the Kristen Johnson guess...didn't she just have "issues" on a flight with the Octomom?
ReplyDeleteKristen Johnson seems like a good guess, has Tara Reid been on a hit show lately?
ReplyDeleteI like the Laura and Kristen guesses. Prepon, I though, quietly distanced herself from the cult after she ditched the Scieno boyfriend. Drea is still with her baby daddy? Pressley has more of a hillbilly screech than a classic husky voice.
ReplyDeleteSally Kellerman from M*A*S*H?
ReplyDeleteNo, seriously, I like the Shannen Doherty guess.
Wait, Kellerman was in the movie, not the show! Oh well, at least I was joking.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone knows who she is, how about Shoreh Aghdashloo? Now THERE'S a "smoky voice."
ReplyDeleteHas anybody guessed Brett Butler? Although she may also not be in the right age range...in fact, she's kind of disappeared. I will be embarrassed if someone says she's no longer with us...
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Shoreh Aghdashloo, and she does have that husky voice, but she's in a relationship or maybe married and even tho she's been on TV the longest of which was 1 season in 24 I think of her as mainly film.
ReplyDeleteLara Flynn Boyle?
ReplyDeleteMiley was my first thought.
ReplyDeleteDon't judge Kristen for her 'issues' with the Octokids. It's not like they were well behaved and she flipped out for no reason. I couldn't have put up with that either, especially not in the First/Business class where I spent thousands on a ticket just to have a bunch of wild animal 'children' torture me in an enclosed space.
ReplyDeleteSo...yeah. I'll guess Miley. Mostly because she's so attention-whorey this probably is something she'd brag about.
Peri Gilpin fits description - smoky-voiced, B on a hit show, not as strong a career now.
ReplyDeleteTelling off the OctoMom was just common sense -- her response simply confirmed her lunacy.
ReplyDeleteHow about Ashlee Simpson...smoky voiced, just broke up with hubby & has been seen making the rounds with some new dude?
ReplyDeleteOops forgot to add she was on 7th Heaven, then had her own MTV reality show
ReplyDeleteNo guess -
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say THANK YOU Enty for getting back to the Blind Items and making sure we get them everyday...
Another for the Jaime Pressley guess. Obviously most of you posting here are not men. Kristen Johnson, Kathleen Turner, Franfreaking Drescher?!?!?!?! No way would they be able to collect phone numbers unless the event was held at a retirement home. Seriously, WTF are y'all smoking?
ReplyDeleteLOVE the MIscha guess!
ReplyDeleteGina Gershon...oh yah baby she's got some issues!
ReplyDeleteShe was on a couple of hit shows..not starring but still..I say she is a viable candidate!
ReplyDeleteThe brunette from One Tree Hill has a very smoky voice, and though she's still on the show it's no longer a hit. WTF is her name? The one who dates Grey Goose on the show. Sophia? That show used to be a bigger deal and all the cast members used to get press...
ReplyDeleteKid Sis you're referring to Sophia Bush. And she "dates" Grey Goose off screen as well, so if he were here date, I can see why she was getting other numbers!
ReplyDeleteAlthough, I can see her character on OTH doing this, Sophia is apparenly very UN-like her character Brooke, so maybe not. Plus the show is still on the air for one more tragic season, and I read the blind as she's not on the show anymore, or it's not on anymore, not that it's not a hit anymore. But I suppose you could technically read it that way.
@Upside -- I'm a guy, and I think Kristen Johnson is way hot (and talented).
ReplyDeleteThe only smokey voice actress I can think of is Yancy Butler. She had a hit show in 2000 (Witchblade) that went down the tubes because of her alcohol addiction. There were also some restraining orders by her family for her behavior.
ReplyDeleteShe was a fairly descent actress & seems to be doing more work lately.
I loved Kristen Johnson in 3rd Rock, but she doesn't have a smoky voice. Yancy does. Lauren Bacall smokey - like whiskey, cigarettes, 2 miles of bad road & great sex.
I first thought of Cybil Shepherd, but I think she is a little old for this one.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm a little left field, I thought of Taryn Manning. But maybe she never made it high enough to qualify.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Cybil Shepherd is too old but I don't think of her having a smoky voice either.
ReplyDeleteI think it's Kirstie Alley, she was photographed smoking recently and I can def. see her doing this.
I was thinking Elizabeth Perkins. I just discovered "Weeds" this week and her voice haunts me in my sleep. I'm only on season 3, but I hear that she left a few seasons later.
