Today's Blind Items - She Was The Madam
It is probably the greatest escort service ever devised and this B- list celebrity was in charge of it. Our celebrity had been escorting herself but was tired of it and wanted to make more money and also wanted to be a star. That was always her number one goal. It is why she gave discounts to people who could give her a break. One of those men who gave her a discount suggested a way she could achieve both her goals. So, our celebrity found some escorts who also wanted to be stars and put them together. They traveled the world and everywhere they went the women would spend a night or two with a very very high paying client while at the same time they became stars, or at least the madam did. She took a huge cut of everything and when one of the team got engaged or started doing drugs or didn't want to be an escort anymore, she was replaced. For years this went on until there were too many people who knew and things were getting complicated so our celebrity shut the whole thing down despite it being immensely profitable.

Not saying that this is the answer to this blind, but I've heard some things about Patti Stanger. And she is good friends with Denise Richards. Just saying
My first thought was Pussycat Dolls, but I know nothing about them.
Too damn vaguek, it could be a number of rumoured escorts/madam's. Denise Richards was one of Heidi's girls.
I have no clue...but man o man...
Room 23 Diana Jenkins
LeeLee Sobieski!
Rumor has it that several famous actresses, singers, hollywood wives and NY socialites were either Heidi's girls or her mentor Madam Alex's.
wasnt leelee sobieski a popular guess for running an escort service?
This kind of feels like The Pussycat Dolls. I know they have gone back further than the music group, but I wouldn't be surprised if this was Nicole Scherzinger with the guy being Jimmy Iovine.
@VIPblonde: Giiiiirl, that was a hell of a guess! "Both of her goals" = high roller matchmaking service and reality show?! I'm kind of obsessed with the idea of (a) her yelling "Meet my millionaires!" at a room full of hookers and (b) the elderly sex therapist as a possible mentor. No sex before monogamy...or before the Amex clears!
How does she and her hooker crew get away with this without some guy bragging to too many people, like the ex-Olympics gal that got busted? And she wasnt even that famous.

I read this as the Pussycat Dolls, too. Maybe Robin Antin for the star.
Too vague, there's many possibilities.
I guess Robin Antin and the Pussy Cat Dolls.
Way too vague, this could be half of Hollywood. And my issue with Patti Stranger? sp? is that usually the elite escort girls you hear about are stunning, which while not ugly I wouldn't label her as.
I too read it as the Pussycat Dolls (appropriate name, huh?) but Robin Anton is certainly no star and isn't a household name. Nicole Sherzinger is the star that got made but she didn't create the group.
Robin Antin is B- list?
Lolz
Were any of the Pusscat Dolls replaced?
I'm thinking of a group that changed it's team members now and again, like a cheerleading team or The Rockettes.
Not enough info here. Do you know how many B list celebs there are? There aren't even any hints. Impossible BV to guess.
Damn I was hoping someone knew the answer. This is pretty vague and could be half of H'wd. Wouldn't it be funny if it was Meryl Streep?
Richard Simmons
It had better not be the Go-Go's.
Sorry Jane, that was just a joke. I know it's not the Go-Go's. I worship the Go-Go's.
I know it says celebrity, but I always think about Sharon Stone and the guy being someone from Basic Instinct like maybe Michael Douglas. Did Sharon do anything besides act?
Betty White?
Dita Von Teese
Rachel Zoe... shut it down
Maybe someone from a reality show? Perhaps a Real Housewife of some sort?
Are they hiring? I
@dragon - Ahahaha! It could be a very lucrative gig, especially in this economy. It's the world's oldest profession for a reason.
lazyday---Don't get me started!!! OT ALERT!
Lust to love
Was the last thing I was dreamin' of.
And now all I want is just to love,
Lust has turned to lies.....

YAY!!!
The anthem of my 15th year, was "This Town". Because it WAS our town, it WAS so glamorous. And I DID 'bet they'd live there, if they could and be one of us.'
Check out this video I just found....WOW! "This Town" starts about 3 minutes in, but the interview footage is precious!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rv4OFYNnTeA
Alright, no more OT. today
*Slinks away.*
I was just about to put the "This Town" lyrics at the bottom of my last post, but the old SNL skit where fans corner rock stars in elevators & sing their songs too them held me back. And Jane W is a CDAN regular.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame will remain a joke until these three acts who debuted 1979-81 are inducted:
The Go-Go's (1st non svengalied do it yourself all female rock band)
The Cure (Godfathers of Goth)
New Order/Joy Division (More or less invented EDM)
Rant over.
Libby is that you smelly ur armpit? Sorry I always wanted to ask
I met her when she was at Brown University. Unless she did this prior to going to school, I don't see her having the time.
lazyday---I know she is, but I don't imagine she is here every day, or reads every thread. She can't mind fans bonding over her work too much, right?
dragon---my dumb picture--2006. Cleaning house, tank top, making joke-bodybuilder poses and armpit sniff, like Kevin Klein in "A Fish Called Wanda"...you know, that silly macho thing? It's completely clean! It smelled like Secret, Powder Fresh!
PCD are a great guess. Weren't they some sort of Vegas dance troupe with a rotating roster before they became a pop group?
@lazyday: I think I just fell in love with you.
@Libby powder fresh lol
Jane W. hangs here?! She's a badass. So are the rest of the GG ladies. Nice!
Now, I dig the Runaways a great deal, myself. But Kim F. kills the "non-Svengali'd" part, right? Still, they're badasses, too!
And I love Suzi Quatro. We wouldn't say that she was Svengali'd, would we?
Whoops, I think we might have hijacked this thread. Ahem...
I don't think it could be Patti. As previously mentioned, while she's not exactly ugly, she's no beauty, and those elite call girls pretty much have to be, no matter how skilled they might also be, right?
Who went to Brown, ecua?
For this blind...could be Sharon Stone. She apparently modeled a lot before and during her early movie years. Maybe she "modeled" as well?
So many of us will ALWAYS love Libby's armpit. That's a great band name, I think. ;-)
I think it is Denise Richards,how do you think she got hooked up with Charlie sheen
Sofia Vergara
@LazyDay - I'm gonna have to challenge your New Order/EDM reference and say that Kraftwerk beat 'em to it. And my boyfriend would probably challenge me on that (he's a serious music nerd). :)
Pussycat Dolls sounds like a good guess.
Kim Kartrashian.
Debby Boone.
I read this as Paris Hilton.
She's probably fallen to B- now, but fame has always been her biggest goal.
She clearly was hooking at various points in her life.
And look at the crew of girls she used to travel the globe and party with... Lindsay Lohan, Kim Kardashian, etc.
They were girls who hooked up with Paris to be stars, and prostitution rumours have dogged most of them.
Yes AKM! Libby's Armpit would be a great name for a band...LOL
Great story..The Go Go's played a little bar in Charlotte called The Milestone. Someone in the audience started a pillow fight in the middle of their gig (this club held about 100 people max) and they had to stop the show due to the feathers flying (and it being about 100 degrees there typically). It was a pretty amazing place that saw the likes practically EVERYONE! IT was so amazing..

click on history.
Pussycat Dolls. Definitely. Didn't Carmen Electra have something to do with them at one point?
on LSA there was a comment about Nicole Scherzinger madaming for Kourtney and Kim.
Pussycat Dolls. Carmet (sp?) left and it all turned sour. Nicole, Ashley and the other blonde have done reality in the UK.
Nicole judged XFactor.
Ashley is currently judging Dancing on Ice.
The other blonde another dance show.
Antm...tyra
I also think it Paris.
@Zeeky Ha! I love it! "You Light Up My Life" indeed! Considering that she's married to Clooney's cousin, you might actually be onto something.
Love the Paris gang idea, MrWolf, but the Pussycat Dolls were my first idea also. Libby and Lazyday, "this town" is totally my song! It still describes my town, too! So stoked that the Go-Gos and the B-52's are touring together this summer!
Is this the one Clooney was involved with?
I like the Denise Richards guess.
If it's Paris, part of the crowd would be Brittney Gastineau and the ubiquitous Kim Kartrashian.
I always wished the GoGo's would let JW take the mic more. IIRC that was a big bone of contention between Jane and Belinda.
hello everyone - it was the gogos that made me stop lurking. loved everything about them and their cover - that bubble bath shot gave me an aim for adulthood!
i saw belinda carlisle in pittsburgh a while back - she was full on diva style. i always thought it was weird that she said she got off drugs (coke or heroin?) without any help but was a really heavy user but very cool how she talks about her son who came out young.
anyway, glad to finally break through the lurker ceiling and just want to say a lot of people on here seem nice and genuine and i love getting my cdan fix.
i never comment so i don't know if it's bad form not to use caps - if so please tell me. :)
"you can talk about it - yesterday is gone
it don't mean a thing to me
we are fading fast out of our memories..."
go gogos!
The PCD have had 26 members in 11 years. Definitely them.
Welcome ohcowie! They were EVERYTHING to me as a young teen, I wanted to be Belinda so bad...
Ok hold on, are we talking about the PCD music group or the Burlesque group? They are different as far as I know. The one where celebrities guest starred in is the dance group, not the music group.
My first thought was Denise Richards, with Sheen being the hooker lover and the person who made her a star.
Welcome, ohcowie! I don't see why you can't write in all lower-case if you prefer! ALL caps, maybe not so much, but you know that. :-)
Yes, wonderful peeps here for the most part. Several UBER-wonderful peeps, and a few troll-types, but for the most part...just regular fun, caring, hilarious, witty folks.
E Gee Be, I did not know that the Go-Gos and the B-52s were touring together! Oh my, I already have so many concert commitments this year. (Money being the only limiting factor.) Emmylou Harris/Rodney Crowell/Richard Thompson this month -- Emmylou's on my bucket list! -- Rosanne Cash in May, Jimmy Buffett in June...well, what's one more, I guess! Hopefully the Go-Gos/B-52s will hit the Lou.
I'll have to check out that story and the club's history, Sherry. I love stuff like that! Thanks for sharing.
Emmylou is one I've been lucky to see in concert lots through the years. The first time back when she was pregnant and the last just about a year ago. Met her and she is gorgeous up close. Stunning. I know the person who worked for the concert venue who drover her and set her up in the hotel and all that and he said she is one of his favorites--always kind and never has an attitude. She travels with her dogs. I met one.
I'm jealous of your concert lists upcoming. Esp. Richard Thompson.
The Milestone Club! Ha, I've been there!
It was 20+ years ago, when I first moved here. We drove in from far away to see a band I don't remember now... what a dive! Holes in the walls, writing everywhere, stickers and weirdos. My kind of place!
When we left at about 2am, we noticed a big redneck standing on his porch with a very large rifle. I had no idea people like that existed outside of Granny Clampett!
That place really is world-famous.
Bangagong - Debby's song was originally "You Light Up My Switchboard with requests for hot hooker action" but the censors wouldn't allow it.
LOL, the reason I picked her was when Duran Duran wrote "A View to a Kill" with the line "Dance into the fire" Pat Boone called it devil worship. Later, when Boone did his heavy metal album, he couldn't figure out why the other Ned Flanders-types were calling him a devil worshiper! Hahahaha, up yours, Pat Boone!
