Today's Blind Items - The Real Reason
A few years ago, no one had heard of this B-/C+ list actress. many people still haven't despite the fact that she has been in almost every form of media over the past few years, including a network television show. If she was more talented, she would have a shot at an EGOT because she has done them all. There was a big scandal that she escaped a few years ago and that is because the A-/B+ list mostly television actor she had an affair with threw another one of his partners under the bus and not our actress who he had co-starred with. He saw no reason to involve her because he already could expose someone who had previously been exposed. The result was though that he has held it over the head of this actress and whenever she is in LA, which is not that often, he gives her a call and they hook up. He has threatened to expose her if she does not show up and says that his reputation is so bad that it would not matter to him if the press finds out, but he knows she likes to be perceived as squeaky clean.

Chenoweth
Kristen Chenoweth and ???
No idea who the girl is but the guy is a real prince. I'd guess Sean Penn for the guy, just because it sounds like the kind of horrible thing he would do.
/really no idea...
I believe she's won Emmy and Tony. Prob too talented for this blind.
Emmy Rossum or Leighton Meester??
Leah Michelle from glee?
Jane Krakowski?
Not many performers out there have been in a tv show, on an album, broadway or off broadway and in movies to warrant the EGOT mention. I think we can get this one.
Also, they don't live in LA...
Edited: I think Jane is above that grade ranking but she's all I got. First made a name for herself in Grand Hotel.
Ashton is a douche but has he ever thrown a woman publicly under a bus? He simply doesn't comment.
Don't know who the actress is but you better believe the A/B actor is Charlie Sheen.
Jane and Alec? I hate to think that of her though, I like her.
Also, Ashton is sadly television A list.
I remember her from Ally McBeal. Plus 30 Rock. Hardly just a few years in the spotlight. I feel like this should be easier. But can't get it.
I was thinking David Boreanaz for the guy because he copped to an affair with Rachel Uchitel who was known for her affair with Tiger, but I don't think he's A-/B+.
The blonde from Smash? I think her name is Megan Hilty.
What about David B. and Zooey D? She guest-starred on Bones in 2009...
AND, Megan Hilty did an episode of Bones in 2010.
@Dena
I place Boreanez that high.
Main character on Buffy, (cult hit ran for 7 years) Lead/title character on Angel, another cult hit/ran 5 years) now main character on Bones.
He is a good guess
It's Chenoweth, because she annoys the piss out of me.
@Dena, good job! Absolutely David Boreanz. Douche. I still love watching him on Bones, though.
Change my guess to Megan Hilty and David B. Good guess, Dana!
Megan's episode of Bones aired in April 2010 and David admitted to the affair with Rachel in May 2010 - totally fits!
A few years ago, not talented enough to actually win awards, many forms of media, still people who haven't heard of her...
Katie Holmes.
I know a lot of people who would not know who she is.
Ohhh, I love Bones, but yeah, David B fits the clues. Anyone watch the finale this past week?
Ooh that's good actually
David Borwhatever is A-/B+ list in what universe?
I'll throw Christina Milian into the ring..
E = Emmy
G = Golden Globe
O = Oscar
T = Tony
I read this as she doesn't quite have them all - but, if she were a bit more talented, she could. I'm betting the missing award is Oscar - so, who matches EGO?
Angelus will just crack her neck instead of blackmailing.
@Colleen, I watched the finale. I'm tired of the whole Pelant thing. Just kill him already.
G - Grammy
@ Unknown: thanks, yes G = Grammy ;)
@Karen, I think it would've been a good ending to the Pelant thing if they had just (spoiler alert) killed him then. I've liked his episodes last & this season, but I agree that it's time to move on.
I'm on the Chenowith train - awards/noms across all fields, incredibly talented, image is squeaky clean (recorded quite a bit of Christian music in the past)...
I didn't read the EGOT as meaning she had any of them. According to the blind she might have been a contender IF she had talent. So I read the EGOT as simply showing she was active in a combination of movies, television and stage.
@Colleen and @Karen, I watched, I agree with ending the Pelant thing, and get Hodgens money back!
@Del Riser & Karen - Oh yeah! If they were actually going to follow through on making the Hodgens thing a storyline, I'd be more open to them being broke. But, they've only mentioned it like once or twice since the last Pelant ep, right?
Dena I thought same...
I thought of Chenowith also. Be surprised if it's Charlie Sheen though. He's stupid and impulsive, I don't think he's off drugs enough to be this manipulative (unless it has to do with drugs).
@Colleen and @Del Riser, agree with both of you. Also, SPOILER ALERT: Pelant cannot possibly be able to listen to them everywhere they go like he has been with tapping into satellites and such. If he could hear them in the Jeffersonian, he'd be able to cover his tracks better and defeat them. You can't tell me that Booth can't tell Bones the truth at work without Pelant finding out.
Basically, they're getting ridiculous with the amount of things he gets away with. He used to be creepy and scary and now I'm just rolling my eyes.
Oh! And Hodgens is going to get back his money with the hot sauce that he and Finn made. Now he can stop living off his paycheck like a real person.
Does Megan Hilty sing? Would she ever be up for a Grammy. I can never figure these out. You guys are really good.
I think it just MAY be Kristin but she's so very talented. Has she done movies though?
The first person I thought of was the guy from Dexter. Julia Stiles, his co-star, took the fall for their affair.
Also, like her or not, isn't Kristin Chenoweth considered talented? Enty says "if she was more talented" she could EGOT. So not KC.
Megan is not squeaky clean image like Kristen. Also practically NOBODY'S heard of her unless they're into broadway or smash. Who would care if Megans affair was exposed? I think it's Kristen. Kristen's also considered rather "one note" in her acting versatility by many. (No pun intended) ;)
@Karen and Del Riser - Totally agree. I'm generally really good at being able to suspend disbelief & just enjoying something for the ride (see: The Following), but Pelant knowing virtually everything that way is way too much for me. Until this week, I had no problem with him but now it's definitely pushing my limits.
Megan Hilty was just on the talk show rounds about 2 weeks ago publicizing her new album.
A few years ago? Not Cheno. She was on the West Wing in 2004, which is almost ten years ago. She has also been doing recent hosting gigs, so she's more visible. Network television show? She's had 2 - Pushing Daisies and the WW. Also, she's extremely talented. Enty can say whatever he wants subjectively, but no one is calling Cheno a bad singer. She's classically trained and for Broadway is one of the biggest current stars today.
Hilty makes more sense because Smash films in New York.
Continuing the off-topic about Bones ... what bothered me is that since they both know Pelant so well, he could have just told her Pelant's threat. She would have been willing to play along. And yes, there are plenty of places Pelant can't track them, otherwise he would have won. But I was really disappointed in having Booth treat Bones as if she couldn't handle the truth. They're way beyond that.
Oh, AND Kristin lists Los Angeles before new York on her twitter account, so I have to assume she owns property/lives there/is there often?
BUT she did have her OWN network show Kristin, which was brief. So point in her favor for the blind, but I still think it's not her.
Tara---THANKS for taking the time to break it down. I am no fan of Chenoweth's, but I AM a huge Broadway fan, and the lady CAN sing. She really is talented. One can be annoying AND talented, obviously.
Hilty it is, imo. Good job everybody!
Chenowith is super duper talented. She's one of the most talented people I know, with comedy, singing, dancing...but her acting. If she was just a little more talented in that department, she would be nominated for an Oscar. I could see and Emmy, Tony, Grammy...but not an Oscar. She's no Meryl Streep. I still love her though.
Karen, I thought Bones wanting to get married and then being disappointed was more out of character than him trying to protect her by lying, though. Regardless, I predict a Bones wedding for next year's season finale, lol. Hopefully the Pelant storyline wraps up early next season. I used to think Pelant was a worthy villan after The Grave Digger, so I hope if they're bringing him back, they end it on a high note.
Confusing blind. No idea on the actress, but I did think Sheen for the actor.
Wasn't there a similar blind a couple of weeks ago, involving a celeb (male) throwing a onenightstand under the buss to hide his affair with a one hit wonder? Guess was Chris Martin, Kate Bosworth and Natalie Imbruglia..
So is this blind copied and altered, or is it related to the older one?
@Karen: I thought the exact same thing. Why doesn't he slip her a note (can't be hacked), which she can read on the toilet (no camera's there) with the explanation? I mean.. Just use something that doesn't involve electronics..Seriously.. How hard is that to figure out for a friggin'crimesolver -.-
And then Bones can act all sad in public, which creepy dude will follow on camera, and he will do an evil laugh etc etc..
Creepiest Bones-ep for me was the one where she and labdude were buried in a car underground. I was biting my nails like a maniac and it still makes me nervous, eventhough I am aware of the ending :P
Zooey and David Boreneaz (sp?)
The clues fit Zooey too; she has been in movies, tv and makes music. It fits the EGOT stuff. And she guest-starred on Bones. And has a cute image.
David and Zooey ftw!
Oh and she also did/does theatre.
TV Guide & TV Line .coms have a lot on Bones.
I'm not denying Kristen is a talented singer and Broadway performer...in fact I watched her recent Lincoln Center special on PBS and thought she was great. In fact, she performed a song I'd never heard and now I love it..."A Quiet Thing" from "Flora the Red Menace." Her performance made me cry the first few times I watched it. Now I'm over it and back to my hard, cynical side. ;) Despite that, if someone mostly only watched her forays into Tv shows like "Pushing Daisies" and "GCB," then I can understand them saying she's lacking something in the acting department.
"A Quiet Thing," sung by Kristen Chenoweth
What the fuck is an EGOT?
It's a clusterf*ck of major proportions. Or it's an Emmy + Golden Globe + Oscar + Tony. :)
@DontRain - G stands for Grammy, not Golden Globe :)
I love watching Bones as long as I don't think about what an ass David Boreanz is. I didn't watch it when it first came on and recently caught an early episode. I was surprised at how some of the relationships have evolved. That being said, I don't think even he would go after his long-time co-stars little sister that way. At least I hope not.
And Pelant gives me the creeps - need to find earlier episodes to find out the beginning of the story.
Agree about the getting the money back with the hot sauce! I said exactly the same thing to my husband when we watched that episode.
Megan Hilty and the Cheno are both incredibly talented! Under the right circumstances, either of them could get the EGOT. No one ever knows what goes on in Enty's brain, but I can't believe this is either of them.
