Four For Friday - The Clinger
As is the case most weeks, I like to take this time to remind you that you can follow me on Twitter. The little follow thing is over to the right somewhere. ------------------------>
You should come on over and follow me because I do talk about things on there that I don't here and have blind items that have never been on the site too. Speaking of blind items, every Saturday I dig through the archives and try to find a blind item to reveal. Last week it took me a few days to find one and ended up going back to early 2011.
Today I wanted to tell you the history of this A list movie actress. She would never do television. Wait. She would never do scripted television. Anyway, our actress has had lots of high profile boyfriends and every one of them has said they have never felt as free as the day they were finally free of the actress. One actor said it was quite possibly the happiest day of his life and he had to act sad at some premiere and all he wanted to do was shout and scream. Our actress is a clinger. A big clinger. As in if she decides to date you then you are going to be with her until you do something so egregious that she has not choice but to leave you. You can't break up with her. It does not work that way. One boyfriend tried to break up and then went and shot some movie on the other side of the world. Third day there, the actress showed up at his hotel room door with a suitcase saying she was there for a visit. One actor wanted to break up with the actress so much that he cheated on her. She got upset but the actress was not going to leave. He then got the idea of getting caught while cheating. She broke up with him after that but would still call him everyday and talk to him. That one was before caller i.d.
One actor who lived with the actress said that he never asked her to move in but that she just kept bringing stuff over and he never noticed and then one day he realized she was there all the time. It took him years to get away from her. Even in her current long term relationship, her significant other knows he can do anything he wants and that she is never going to leave him. He has done a lot and even been caught, but she just will not go anywhere. They can go weeks without seeing each other but she calls. All the time. All day. Texts all day too. Hundreds of times a day. Her significant other hired an assistant just to respond to the texts. Apparently his life is so much easier since he thought of it. One week of telling the assistant what to say in the texts and now one year later, the actress is none the wiser. Of course the assistant has got to see plenty of naked photos of the actress. She is big photo sender. She is also a big hypochondriac. She wonders aloud about everything she eats and how it will affect her and would like your opinion too. She has very few friends because they are subject to the same type of clingy. Not very many people can deal with that kind of constant barrage of attention and neediness.
Why does Paltrow come to mind?
ReplyDeleteGwyneth?
ReplyDeleteGwyneth was on Glee.
ReplyDeleteGwyneth did Glee.
ReplyDeleteJulia?
ReplyDeleteFishsticks!!
ReplyDeleteGlee is scripted television, it says the actress would never do scripted television. Though I'd love to believe this is Paltrow.
ReplyDeleteI want to say this is a much older actress due to the clue "before caller ID" which has been around 10+ years now, Diane Keaton?
ReplyDeleteDon't know, but waiting for the guesses - good one, Enty!
ReplyDeleteRenee Zellweger perhaps?
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like someone who was on Punk'd or something:
ReplyDeletehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_celebrities_who_have_been_the_subject_of_pranks_on_Punk%27d
The only one who jumped out at me was Kirsten Dunst. I don't think she's A-list.
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI remember my parents getting caller id when it was still "new" around 1992-93. It was around a few years before that, but not uet available in our state. This woman is at least in her 40's.
ReplyDeleteI like the Zellweger guess. That was my first thought, but I figured Enty would have thrown something in about her marriage.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I figured the Oscar would have merited a mention. Despite which, I am not sure that she is A-list.
Why would someone like Gwyneth who supposedly had loving supportive parents be so needy?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure who this is , but a person like this is a bit scary. If she's caught her boyfriends and not gone all "I boiled the rabbit" on them she must not be violent, just relentless. Poor guys.
My first thought was Sharon Stone. But I know she has done a lot of tv
ReplyDeleteWhat about Halle Berry?
J LO!
ReplyDeleteWould Saturday Night Live count as unscripted?
ReplyDeleteWhat about the chick that stalked James Woods. I can never remember her name.
ReplyDeleteJLo appeared on Will & Grace.
ReplyDelete@ Vicki, Sean Young.
ReplyDeleteCameron Diaz? She is almost 40 and goes back to dating Matt Dillon, Jared Leto, etc.. besides J Timberlake and ARod...she seems very cool but I can see clingy too.
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely her.
DeleteGwyneth comes off as the complete opposite of needy. But I agree that it sounds like someone at least hovering around 40, or 40+.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Cameron Diaz? She was always showing up at A-Rods games, and they were recently seen back together.
This is someone who currently has a bf. Who is Cameron's current?
ReplyDeleteI know I'm probably wrong but Demi Moore is all I could think of. She's been A list since the 80's, on and off.
ReplyDeleteSeems very clingy and has no problem taking pics of herself.
Ashton seemed to want out of that marriage for ages, even getting 'caught'.
Just a thought.
I'd say the implication is strong that this woman has done unscripted reality TV. J-Lo is a good guess, but she is in NO way an A-list actress. The blind doesn't mention any marriages either, does it? It reads like this woman's never been married, which if the behavior is accurate, wouldn't surprise me at all. Who in their tight mind would marry her?
ReplyDeleteThanks, anita. I can never remember that woman's name. I can only remember it's a guy's name.
ReplyDeleteI know I'm probably wrong but Demi Moore is all I could think of. She's been A list since the 80's, on and off.

I'm totally stumped. Fishsticks is married so it can't be her. Plus she's done scripted TV. I don't think it's Cammie & ARod because if he was so desperate to get away from her, why would he say she's the greatest person he'd ever met or whatever that quote was?
ReplyDeleteSomeone currently in a relationship, been in long term relationships with high profile guys, done reality tv but no scripted tv....
ReplyDeleteNo idea.
The new show the Conversation on lifetime has lots of actresses that don't normally do TV...
ReplyDelete"Her significant other hired an assistant just to respond to the texts." lol, such a simple solution! i was thinking of halle too.
ReplyDeleteHere's a site to sort by age:
ReplyDeletehttp://star-currency.forbes.com/celebrity-list/actress?page=14&sort=ageASC
Halle Berry.
ReplyDeleteI'm on the Renee Z. train. Remember all of the photos that Enty posted of her "visiting the set" of Bradley Cooper's movies when he was dating her? She's A-list for the Oscar win. She gives off a very needy/desperate/clingy vibe.
ReplyDeleteDemi Moore was on Will & Grace.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah!! I forgot about that, duh! Sorry.
DeleteSean Young isn't A list. Her IMDB page has her working but nothing memorable in quite some time.
ReplyDeleteBut most of Halle's bfs haven't been actors. Her three main long-term relationships, before Olivier, were with an athlete, a singer and a model.
ReplyDeleteI think Enty deliberately left info out of this one to avoid making it too easy. I suspect this is someone who has been married.
I agree. Doesn't say married, but doesn't say she never was, either.
DeleteDemi started on "General Hospital."
ReplyDeleteThis actress may not have done any reality shows. That's a tricky part to the blind. She may just do talk shows and entertainment news type shows to promote her movies. "E.T." is unscripted television and still qualifies as doing TV.
This just screams control-freak-pain-in-the-ass-diva-bitch Julia Roberts to me, but that's probably not right.
ReplyDeleteOk I'm firmly in the Halle Berry camp.
ReplyDeleteEric Benet is the actor who cheated and got caught (sex addict headlines)
The thing that pops out to me from the blind is the hypocondriac mention. Halle is always photographed in casts, using crutches, etc.
Either she is in an abusive relationship, is clumsy,or has a mental disorder.
Friend in college was a hypocondriac who ALWAYS thought they had physical problems (wore back braces all the time, had tons of minor surgeries for small issues, etc).
Can't be Halle since she did TV before she hit it big. Queenie and a couple of Oprah movies.
ReplyDeleteReene fits, but she was married. Have to say I am stumped.
Here's a little blurb about Renee and Bradley. It looks like she moved into his place right away and tagged along on all of his press for The Hangover. I can't find any reality tv appearances, but other than that, I think it's her.
ReplyDeletehttp://stupidcelebrities.net/2009/09/renee-zellweger-is-moving-in-with-boyfriend-bradley-cooper/
I don't think she is in a current long term relationship though??
DeleteHalle Berry FTW!
ReplyDeleteWould like to think Renee Z, but who is she currently dating? Probably old enough for the pre-caller id clue.
ReplyDeleteAll I can think is "stage five clinger"!!!!
@Basil I think Renee ended her marriage from Kenny Chesney with an annulment so technically she was never married ;)
ReplyDeleteFirst time I notice Halle was on the TV show "Living Dolls" in the 80s. So it can't be her since she was a regular on the short lived show.
ReplyDelete@ Sparkwee, agree with the Renee Z. guess. She was dubbed "Needy Edie”.
ReplyDeleteRenee or Cameron.
ReplyDeleteI know it's probably not her, but all I can think of is how Eva Mendes flew to Malaysia or Thailand or wherever it was Gosling was filming in what seemed like days after they first started dating...
ReplyDelete@txtommom Halle also was in the tv movie Introducing Dorothy Dandridge on HBO. She won the Emmy and Golden Globe for it.
ReplyDeleteJustin Timberlake and Jessica Biel
ReplyDeleteAccording to IMDB, Rene did both a tv series and a tv movie, and was a voice in King of the Hill.
ReplyDeleteI was leaning towards her, but have to rethink.

ReplyDeleteI was leaning towards her, but have to rethink.
My first thought was Cameron, she totally seems clingy. But what about Drew Barrymore?
ReplyDelete*Renee Zellweger
ReplyDeleteAnd I have no clue why it double posted.
Is Renee Z currently in a long term relationship?
ReplyDeleteMy concern with the Renee Z guess is she was the popular guess for that recent blind about how she slept with everyone in Hollywood including Matthew McConaughy to get where she is.
ReplyDeleteThe tone of that blind vs the tone of this blind (needy, hypocondriac, clingy) are very different.
Plus it seems like this blind is about someone who is in pap pics a lot and overexposed (in the vain of Rihanna, Annalyne McCord, Demi constantly oversharing on twitter)
Sidenote:if Eva Mendes and Jessica Biel are considered A-list there is no hope left in the world
I thought J Lo because I remember so well when Ben Affleck was trying to extricate himself. He tried everything and she continued to plan the wedding, then he went to Canada and got caught so publicly that she had no choice. But Casper is not hiring an assistant to answer texts, etc. the rest just doesn't fit.
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering if the current significant other is NOT an actor - all the others are referred to as actors, but the current one is not...repeatedly called the 'significant other'...
ReplyDeleteHa - Kelly Preston....LMAO
ReplyDeleteJust to be different... Winona Ryder
ReplyDelete@Jessi I think Drew Barrymore is a good guess, but she was in that Grey Gardens mini series so it can't be her.
ReplyDeleteJulia Roberts was on Law and Order and I think Miami Vice - both very scripted
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'm off base but Liza Minelli? I think I've read she's extremely clingy and I don't remember her doing any TV but didn't she have a short reality show with the David guy she was married to?
ReplyDeleteArrested Development-she was a guest star
Delete@Fijigrrl Winona has done a lot of tv - including Friends! Remember when she and Jennifer Aniston kissed?
ReplyDelete@SusanB I love your Liza guess I want it to be true, but she was on Arrested Development. Nuts!
ReplyDeleteJennifer Gardner!
ReplyDeleteWhat about Liv Tyler? She has been dating a photographer for 6 months and was in a long term relationship with Joaquin Phoenix in her past... Possibility?
ReplyDeleteShe says here she's trying to figure out love -
http://shrieking-news.blogspot.com/2012/02/interview-with-liv-tyler-i-am-trying-to.html
Heather Graham? (so hot!)
ReplyDelete"That one was before caller i.d." means this person has a fairly long history because pre-caller id here in LA was like mid-90's.
ReplyDeleteI have no clue on a guess....so many woman to choose from.
Jlo
ReplyDeleteKate Hudson came to mind because of the stories of her moving in quickly with whoever she is with. I think she even said in an interview that she just showed up to one of her boyfriend's houses with a suitcase after a couple of dates. I'm not sure if she has ever been in unscripted TV though.
ReplyDeleteJust to be different: Angelina Jolie?
ReplyDeleteOnly did TV when she first started.
This seems familiar. Has it run before?
ReplyDeleteWinona Ryder, by the way.
Totally Renee Zellweger
ReplyDeleteJust a thought, but it could also be someone who has been a judge (or guest judge) on a reality show. I originally thought Natalie Portman, but she seems too young.
ReplyDelete@Vivster Oh yeah, I remember Kate Hudson saying that too! I think she's a possibility. Has she dated actors though? She seems to only date musicians, that I can remember anyway.
ReplyDeleteWhat about the leg?
ReplyDeleteAgree that this has to be an actress who is in her 40s at least. It can't be Demi because the actress is in a current long term relationship.
ReplyDeleteI love the Halle Berry guess, because guys can do anything and she won't leave them. She is also a hypochondriac. She seems to have very few friends.
Another idea - Meg Ryan.
What about the leg?
ReplyDeleteGood idea TheGoodRain!
ReplyDelete@Seachica It can't be Halle Berry because of all of her TV credits. Meg Ryan is an interesting guess though.
ReplyDeleteI like the Kate Hudson guess bc she is always falling so fast in love. Remember lance Armstrong met her mom after three dates or something? And she did appear on the Rachel Zoe project. But I don't know if she's a list
ReplyDeleteI like the Kate Hudson guess bc she is always falling so fast in love. Remember lance Armstrong met her mom after three dates or something? And she did appear on the Rachel Zoe project. But I don't know if she's a list
ReplyDeleteMeg started in As The World Turns, which CBS took away from us last year (sob).
ReplyDeleteAh! Kate Hudson has appeared on the Rachel Zoe Project. And we aren't really sure if she and her fiance have married yet or not, thus "significant other." We might have a winner here!
ReplyDelete@Katie I'm with you on the Kate Hudson guess right now. I'd say Owen Wilson as the actor that faked being sad about the break up. And Dax Shepard as the actor that she moved in with.
ReplyDeleteBut she was married to Chris Robinson from the Black Crows. Does that matter? You'd think that would be mentioned because she married so young.
"It can't be Demi because the actress is in a current long term relationship." With whom? She split with Kutcher.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's Renee, because she is not (as far as we know) in a LTR. At least I hope it's not. Have a soft spot for her.
Diane Keaton came to mind for high profile boyfriends and A-list before caller ID, but there's no unscripted TV.
ReplyDeleteUnscripted TV could also refer to shows like The Office and Curb Your Enthusiasm, which are plotted but dialog is not scripted.
Jessica Simpson? just puttin' that out there.
ReplyDeleteKate sounds good, but I'm hung up n that caller id clue. She's only 33.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Drew Barrymmore? She was the first one I thought of. Although she did Family Guy... hmmm
ReplyDelete*on
ReplyDelete@Snapdragon, I think meaning that the actress in question is in a long term relationship and, as we all know, Demi is not.
ReplyDeleteNot Demi Moore because she is not in a current relationship, and she started her career in TV with "General Hospital."
ReplyDeleteNot Julia Roberts because she's done some tv an episode or two of "Friends" and a couple on one of the crime shows "Law & Order", maybe.
Not JLo because she was on "In Living Color" and she also did some episodes of "Will and Grace" and one episode of "How I Met Your Mother."
Kate hudson dated ARod too
ReplyDeleteCameron Diaz
ReplyDeleteThis blind reads as someone at least 40... but more likely closer to 50.
ReplyDeleteThink of actresses that were popular or starting to get good jobs no later, than the late 1980's.
Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock, Demi Moore type of girls. Who are now at least in their mid 40's. But I don't believe this one of them, in this blind.
The one thing that has me stumped is the no TV thing.
It is hard not to have done some TV in the early days of your career.
How many well known actresses never had to do a little bad TV?
I wouldn't mind being friends with this needy person.
ReplyDeleteFrom all the needy people I've met...every single one of them gives you really great stuff to keep being friends with them.
Parker Posey?
ReplyDeleteSounds like Jennifer Garner to me, except she did both "Felicity" and "Alias", which were big roles for her. Hmm...
ReplyDeleteI don't know that the "no scripted" TV thing means reality TV, necessarily. I'm thinking it's someone who's done an episode or two of SNL or been in a music video or something.
That said, I can see both Halle Berry and Kate Hudson being this intense. Not fully on board with either guesses, though.
Kate Hudson, think she could easily have been doing this 'before caller id'. hmm was the Owen Wilson situation because she wouldn't leave him alone, ever?
ReplyDeleteUnscripted TV could also be talk shows...
ReplyDeleteBut I got nothing! A list older actresses who fit this, my mind is blank.
I wonder what the comments that are removed say...
ReplyDeleteI always like to think it is the answer to the blind
Food for thought, I took the unscripted tv bit to mean award shows.
ReplyDeleteWhat A+ actress would refuse to do scripted television but would appear on a reality tv show. The high and mightys scoff at reality shows.
@ JSierra - a lot of times ppl delete when their comments multi-post, but it is a fun thought!
ReplyDeleteReality TV can also be shows like Project Runway, Top Chef, etc.
I am thinking it could be someone who was a candidate on "Dancing With The Stars" or "Celebrity Apprentice" or some such reality show featuring stars who long since jumped the shark.
ReplyDeletethis could mean they hosted SNL. though it's technically scripted it's not typical TV and in enty's world it could equate to "unscripted"
ReplyDeleteJennifer Anniston, she hasn't really don much tv since Friends except as a favor to Courtney Cox and is on every entertainment show in existence.
ReplyDeleteI think this is Winona. She'd fit the age demographic for caller id. She also has a reputation for sleeping with musicians and actors in Hollyweird. She also comes off as clingy and insecure and we know she's a bit unbalanced. She had her issues with stealing, addicted to pain meds, and she used to call Al Pacino late at night because they both allegedly suffered from insomnia. I could easily see her suffering from various ailments. Remember how Matt Damon broke up with her?
ReplyDeleteI don't know of any actor or actress who has the luxury of saying "no tv" at the start of their careers. Once you have your big break, you can dictate that. But to begin with, you just need someone to take a chance on you. So when Enty says "She would never do scripted television". I don't take that to mean "no tv ever", but rather 'this person is so snobby about it that they would not stoop so low as to do TV now that their career is made."
ReplyDeleteSo I'll go back to my guess that this is Ms. Halle Berry.
I don't think it's Kate Hudson. Didn't Owen want to marry her and she didn't want to get married again? I think Diane Keaton is a good guess. She always had very famous boyfriends. I hope it's not her, though.
ReplyDeleteI agree with whoever said "the leg." Angelina always gets her way and I don't think she knows what "NO" means.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the Winona guess.
ReplyDelete(if this is real, that is.)
Folks, it's Cameron Diaz.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone else follows Lainey, you'd be aware of all her clingy, doormat behavior in her relationships with men.
I like the Diane Keaton guess but she seems too mature rove banging out hundreds of texts (not to mention naked pics). Also is she is a LTR?
ReplyDelete*Let me try again. To be, not rove. And 'in a'
ReplyDeleteCLINGY = Renee Zellweger
ReplyDeleteMaybe she's in a new relationship that we don't know about?
@Amazon...I totally see Cameron as a freebird and okay with hangin' out. She just doesn't seem like she's clingy at all to me. PLUS, she has tons of female buddies.
ReplyDeleteI'm going with "The Leg" too.
Ok, Julia did an episode of Law and Order. Halle did a mini series call Queen and an HBO movie called Introducing Dorothy Danddridge. Maybe, Rene......
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteCameron just strikes me as a party girl. And not very intelligent, a clingy personality seems a tad too complex for her to pull off.
ReplyDeleteHowever, the riff with Drew Barrymore...and I don't see her with any celebs much except bfs. The Sofia Copolla A-list crowd hate her since Being John Malkovich.
But she had an environmental awareness reality program on MTV a while back. Anyone remember?
For me this screams Kate Bosworth. Orlando Bloom for the first actor shooting on the other side of the world. Alexander Skarsgard for the guy she sorta moved in with.
ReplyDeleteOnly problem is that she isn't/hasn't been/ never will be A-list.
Because of that I say Halle Berry.She gives me the strong psycho impression.
Or Cameron Diaz. Also gives me the crazy vibe.
ReplyDeleteTotally LOL!
DeleteCatherine Zeta Jones
ReplyDeleteInside the Actor's Studio is not scripted tv, nor is it reality tv...AJ.
ReplyDeleteI thought Julianne Moore.
ReplyDeleteNo way this is Gwyneth. As long as Gwyneth Paltrow has Gwyneth Paltrow, that will be all she needs.
ReplyDeletenb yes Inside the Actor's Studio is great thinking.
ReplyDeleteOut of all the guesses so far Winona fits the best. This is an older actress - back in my day there was a huge separation between movie actress and TV. It's only in the last decade or so that TV has become "legitimate." If you were a star or rising star you didn't go near TV.
This is how I know Enty is older too. :)
Eric Benet is a singer, not an actor who Halle was married to well after the invention of caller id.
ReplyDeleteAnd since when is she a hypochondriac? If you get hurt on a film set, you get hurt. A hypochondriac is someone who thinks every cold or sniffle is encroaching death or always complaining about imagined ailments. You would basically have to be her doctor to know this about her.
I know she did a lot of TV with 'Friends' but reading this I thought of Anniston.
ReplyDeleteI think Kate H is a good guess, she said she met her ex at a party & they were inseperable after that. Something like they met in a Saturday & she moved in on Monday. But the clues are for an older lady, especially the before caller ID bit. Who has dated lots, but is now in a long term relationship?
ReplyDeleteI guess Julia Roberts fits, but I don't know if she's the type. JLo is the right age, but not a long enough stream of famous boyfriends, although she is obviously waaay clingy. Its not Diane Keaton. She doesnt appear in public without covering her neck but she's going to send sexy pics of herself via phone? No. Demi has had 3 famous relationships that I know of, Rob L, Bruce & Aston. Correct me if im wrong.
This one is tricky.
Julianne Moore was on As the World turns, Sean Young did Young and the Restless,
ReplyDeleteMy Guess is Sharon Stone?
If the bit about no scripted TV wasn't in there, I'd go with Anniston. Since it is, I'm going with Cammie D.
ReplyDeleteIt can still be Halle Berry. She did tv movies not scripted movies
ReplyDeleteI agree that H. Berry and J. Lo do seem to need a lot of attention, but what about Angelina Jolie??
ReplyDeleteShe has said in interviews she doesn't have girl friends, and she might be emotionally needy due to her family dynamics in the past
Even though I guessed Kate Hudson, I think Winona is another good choice. There was that business with her having to drop out of Godfather 3 due to illness. Is she dating anyone high profile right now? She has done some TV movies though. Maybe the unscripted TV part is a joke about her trial being televised or the security tape of her stealing from Saks.
ReplyDeleteNot Kate Hudson or JLo - the significant other hired an assistant JUST to respond to the texts. The S.O. Is rich enough to do that. Not Matt whoever or Casper.
ReplyDeleteI'll go with Angelina
Tyra Banks
ReplyDeleteWinona was on friends as Jennifer Aniston's sister...probably not going to be her unless someone has forgotten that.
ReplyDeleteWhat about telethons for the unscripted tv?
ReplyDeleteWhat about telethons for the unscripted tv?
ReplyDeleteIT's Cameron Diaz.
ReplyDeleteShe's A List, she's going to be 40 in August, she's never done TV except for a public service announcement.
AND AmazonBlue makes a good point. If you read Lainey Gossip, Cameron is a doormat for men.
Except what long term relationship is Cameron Diaz in?
ReplyDeleteHmmm...... that's the only thing that doesn't fit.
Susan Sarandon?
ReplyDeleteNvm, imdb shows that she's done quite a bit of scripted tv.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it's CD because of the story about her confronting Jessica Biel and shouting at Justin about "This is the girl you dumped me for?!" The blind emphasized that she dies the breaking up, not the guys.
ReplyDeleteKate Hudson. Reality show was Rachel Zoe's.
ReplyDeleteI suck at this. I usually piggy back off of all of you, and I read so many comments where nothing clicked, but the only guess that really jumped out at me was "Kate Bosworth".
ReplyDeleteI'm wrong, though, 'cause she's too young. Caller ID was a tad before her time. Melanie Griffith?
ReplyDeleteCam Diaz was my first thought. Alleged long-term since A-Rod is P Diddy - if 6 months is long-term in Hwood.. Non-scripted TV would be SNL or the other170+ "Self" mentions in Imbd!
ReplyDeleteDidn't Cameron do that extreme adventure show for MTV in the late 90's?? This was right after she broke up with Matt Dillon and before Timberlake.
ReplyDeleteUnscripted TV could be a lot of things besides reality shows. Its also shows like The actors studio, The Tonight Show (etc) Morning shows like the Today show... So this could be anybody. Not that I have any guesses just a thought about the TV appearances.
ReplyDeleteI thought of Kate Winslet...don't know why...except that she is A list and jumps from man to man :)
ReplyDelete@SpicyPumpkin: Actually, I think confronting JT and Jessica would fit right in with the clingy/pushy theme -- not taking no for an answer, showing up and causing a scene with the old bf/new gf, trying to force a break in the new relationship.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea who this could be, but after reading all the comments, y'all have pretty much convinced me it's Cameron. If someone could provide some evidence of her "hypochondria", that might seal it.
It's Rene. It says the original blind item was pulled from early 2011. She broke up with Bradley cooper around march 2011.
ReplyDeleteDidn't Enty used to make fun of Renee for wearing a band aid all the time????
ReplyDeleteAbout the only one I can think as "no TV" immediately is Reese Witherspoon, but she did Friends twice.
ReplyDeleteJust to clear up the misconceptions with a few peoples' guesses - both SNL and The Office are scripted tv shows!
ReplyDeleteSNL is EXTREMELY scripted, with very few exceptions (Bronx Beat, Nicholas Fehn, Garth & Kat). Because it's live, Lorne Michaels likes to keep it as controlled as possible, therefore only allowing people to read cue cards with written words which have been reviewed and allowed by the network, etc. Can you imagine the trouble they could get in otherwise?
The Office, although stylistically seems very loose, is scripted as well. Similarly to Parks and Recreation, they usually do words in the script multiple times until they "have it," and then they're allowed to improvise a few times.
It's a toss up between Renee Z and Cameron Diaz. It has to be someone in their 40s or pushing 40 due to the caller ID reference. This leaves out Kate Hudson who strikes me as clingy too.
ReplyDeleteAlot of people are guessing Winona Ryder and Kate Bosworth etc.
ReplyDeleteThe blind clearly states this is an A list actress.
Apparently Sharon Stone is known to be a hypochondriac...
DeleteDrew Barrymore
ReplyDeleteSharon Stone was on "L&O:SVU" at the very least. Scripted.
ReplyDeleteI like the Drew guess, but with "Grey Gardens," that Amy Fisher movie, the Toyland movie she did as a kid with Keanu...can't be her.
I'm stumped.
Renee's done TV. According to IMDb, I can't find ANY TV that Cameron's done. It would seem that she went straight from the teen modeling to THE MASK.
ReplyDeleteCan't think of anyone else who would fit. Unless the caller I.D. is a clue, and it's someone a little more old-skool.
Yeah, it would actually seem that all of Cameron's TV appearance have been documentaries, awards shows, talk shows...all playing herself, and all stuff that is mostly unscripted. I'm convinced now.
ReplyDeleteCameron Diaz didn't date anyone "before caller id" who could fit this blind. If you're gonna eliminate people based on the scripted tv thing then you need to be consistent and not pick and choose what clues you ignore vs the ones you pay attention to.
ReplyDeleteYou could argue that "before caller id" means " before caller Id was ubiquitous bec everyone has a cell phone. But then you could also reinterpret the "she would never do television" to mean she would never do television NOW, since she became famous and a-list. It just bothers me when people come to such a definitive conclusion on a BI without supporting their thesis with ALL the details of the blind item (or at least most of them.) like if everyone is so sure abt Cameron, go ahead and also list all other players to support your argument--ie, who was the guy she dropped in on across the globe, who was the guy she moved in with, who is her current so? Anyway my point is I don't think this is high quality sleuthing. Sorry for the rant. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm going to say Jeniffer Love Hewitt even though it goes against everything the blind says she hasn't done. I just like her for this but for serious, Cameron gets my official vote. You just know Justin threw himself a party after that ended.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking Goldie Hawn - is "Laugh-In" considered scripted?
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was Julia Roberts, but the deets don't quite fit.
ReplyDeleteThe Renee Z. and Wynona R. are good guesses, too. But I have no idea is they have current significant others. Julia does.
What about Kelly Preston? Was she every A list? God knows she's turning a blind eye to that husband of hers.
ReplyDeleteBut she has done some TV, years ago.
If it's Renee, why did she jettison Kenny, reportedly he told her he didn't want kids afterall?
ReplyDeleteAnd who is her currently SO? And I think RZ has lots of friends.
Cameron Diaz
