Today's Blind Items - She Sold Her Soul
You have been really good at the blinds lately so I thought I would really throw a challenge at you. How would I describe this person? Funny. C list Celebrity. Not in the sense of a Paris Hilton celebrity, but someone who has actual talent. She has a lot of talent actually. Award winning in her profession. She is great at her profession. She wanted to take it to the next level. She was tired of having to travel 200 nights a year and only getting on television a few times each year. She wanted to be big. She wanted to be huge. At first she tried sleeping with this former A list mostly television actor and his television actress wife. Yep, she was their threesome sex toy. Then someone told her she was no attractive enough so she spent $50K on plastic surgery. She would talk smack about people she thought were ahead of her line for some big project and would do everything she could to sabotage them. She would spread lies about them or anyone she could. She would do anything that it took to get ahead and to make herself a star. She sold out and still it has done no good and she is pretty much in the exact same position she was a decade ago. Sure, her name is known maybe a little more, but, overall, all of the things she did, all of the moral boundaries she crossed had no effect at all on her life, but destroyed the hard work of lots of others.
Kathy Griffin
ReplyDeleteKathy G. just a wild guess. (Griffith or Griffin. Not sure)
ReplyDeleteJoan Rivers
ReplyDeleteCan't be KG. BI says this person has talent.
ReplyDeleteThat Betty White! She's such a trollop!

ReplyDeleteNot sure if this describes Kathy Griffin.
Oh, Enty, you mean girl!
ReplyDeleteBesides, Chenoweth is only a little wicked.

I thought this reads as Kristen Chenowyth
ReplyDeleteDita Von Teese?
ReplyDeleteI'm on board with the Kristin Chenoweth guesses. Although, I really like her.
ReplyDeleteKathy Griffin was who I thought of immediately because of her plastic surgery another possibility is Lisa Lamparelli who had some too.
ReplyDeleteWhitney Cummings?
ReplyDeleteI like the Whitney guess.
ReplyDeleteSarah Silverman?
ReplyDeleteWhitney Cummings
ReplyDeleteI thought Whitney at first, too, but she hasn't won any awards, has she?
ReplyDeleteWhitney Cummings doesn't have any awards. Sarah Silverman has one Emmy. Kristen Chenoweth has quite a few awards and is definitely talented in her field.
ReplyDeletesarah silverman, kathy griffin,lisa lampanelli....cant A-list actors/actresses attract better than these foul creatures into their beds? Nast. Im barely a thousanaire and I can score hotter chicks
ReplyDeleteI was actually thinking about Sarah Silverman but I think she wouldn't party threesome style...sooooo
ReplyDeleteI thought chenoweth too, but I read this like a singer who is trying to make it big as an actress, and KC has won an Emmy.
ReplyDeleteThat being said, I can't think of anyone else.
Kathy was my first thought because of the constant touring. Her life on the D list show was canceled (or maybe she ended it not sure) but her talk show on Bravo didn't last long and was canceled. She's had lots of plastic surgery, a husband who she divorced when she discovered he stole from her. Right now her career is pretty much where it was years ago plus New Years Eve with Anderson Cooper. I'm a fan, but Kathy has always seemed driven and desperate for fame.
ReplyDeleteOh and Kathy has won Emmy(s)
ReplyDeleteWho would have a threesome with Kathy G?
ReplyDeleteMan, I wish this was Janene Garafalo!!! Come back my 90's lady
Wait: Kari Ann Peniche? The threesome chick with gayheart and Dane? Although I don't know if she's really talented at anything besides being a reality tv whore.
ReplyDeleteWho's that woman who claimed to not have an affair with David Beckham? The opera singer. She seems desperate, but hasn't really progressed beyond DWTS.
ReplyDeleteKatherine Jenkins has had great success with her albums in the UK.
DeleteCummings is not funny "kidding! No i love you" really 56X a show
ReplyDeleteGawd
I doubt it's Silverman. I've heard from a few interviews with young comedians/writers that she's helpful and supportive of up-n-comers, seems out of line with this description.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking Margaret Cho but I'm not sure about awards or plastic surgery.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking Margaret Cho but I'm not sure about awards or plastic surgery.
ReplyDeleteIf Chelsea Handler didn't have a show on Comedy Central, I would totally say this was her.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Margaret Cho? She has said she's had plastic surgery, wanted to make her original show such a success that she turned to drugs to lose weight.
ReplyDeleteFormer A lister is Diedrich Bader who was on the show, went on to Drew Carey show and Who's Line... Married to an actress.
Janeane Garofalo
ReplyDeleteStacy Keibler
ReplyDeleteWWE for the profession
This is a great blind!
ReplyDeleteI've met Griffin a couple times and she was incredibly kind and surprisingly low key, low maintenance.

ReplyDeleteCourtney Love.
ReplyDelete@seachica, I think Katherine Jenkins is a pretty good guess. I don't know much abt her or Kristin Chenoweth but has to be one of the two of them.
ReplyDeleteKathy Griffin
ReplyDeleteI think seachica has it. Jenkins makes a ton of sense.
ReplyDeleteMargaret Cho is a regular on Drop Dead Diva.
ReplyDeleteKirstie Alley, now more celeb than actress. Big and Huge could be clues, and for married couples, I'll take, The Travoltas for 400, Alex.
ReplyDeleteGood blind. Love the Kathy G guess.
ReplyDeleteKatthy Griifen.
ReplyDeleteand I am not even that good at these blinds....
Kristin in Broadway wouldn't have to travel 200 nights a year - while she could have performed that many times, she'd be traveling from her NYC apartment to a theater. And that'd be "spending 200 night away from home" anyway. A comedian fits, or a touring musician, as they go on tour. Broadway doesn't tour.
ReplyDeleteExactly, Broadway doesn't tour and an actress doing a ton of film work still wouldn't travel that much. Has to be a comedian. Garofalo and Cho are too well-respected and successful to fit, despite the plastic surgeries they've had. Besides, both still get booked at large venues for stand-up. This has to be a woman comedian respected by other comedians who has never broken out of playing small rooms.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to guess it's a black woman comedian, because it's much tougher for women to get booked into big houses.
Just for shits and giggles, I'll guess Aisha Tyler. I hope it's not her, though.
ReplyDeleteHA! Courtney Love is never going to feel bad about anything...ever.
ReplyDeleteKeibler fits given that pro-wrestlers are constantly on tour, more than most any other profession.
ReplyDeleteSounds like maybe an athlete?
ReplyDeleteAmy Schumer? Not sure if she has won any awards. A couple times a year quote made me think of roasts but it could be an awards show.
ReplyDeleteTravel 200 nights a year? Possibly a musician. Maybe a second tier songstress who wins some of the minor awards--would only get on TV during award season or when a new CD was about to drop. Never a number 1 seller, but solidly in the top 20-40s. Probably cute, but not drop dead gorgeous. Solidly talented, but without the "it" that makes you a STAR. Who's been around forever and is good at her job, and we just don't notice any more because we're used to seeing her just bobbling around?
ReplyDeleteIt's def Kathy griffin bc she has bragged about spending a lot of money on plastic surgery and she has won emmy and made history by have 4 comedy specials filmed in 1 year.
ReplyDeleteA funny lady traveling 200 nights a year and getting on TV a few times a year is a comedienne. I say Margaret Cho, too.
ReplyDeleteNOT AISHA TYLER, Y'ALL! NOT LANA KANE!
ReplyDeleteShe's my favorite girl crush and I'll hear nothing malicious about her.
Good? Good.
Unfortunately, Aisha Tyler fits the clues quite well except for being married. Right age, right career profile, lots of road time, black woman comedian clearly trying to break through with white audiences. Sorry, I don't know her work at all but she fits the profile I imagined when I guessed it was a black woman comedian. Has she had noticeable work done?
ReplyDeleteCho and Garofalo have too much cred. in the alternative comedy world for it to be them. Marc Maron would bitch-slap Garofalo if she pulled ruthlessly careerist moves like those.
Cummings and Handler are both way above the level of this person's fame. Schumer has been signed to host or star in too many shows to fit.
As a sop to the Tyler fans I'll throw out Olivia Munn as another option. You have to stretch the clues pretty hard to make her fit but she is a determined macher willing to peddle herself for success.
Katherine Jenkins doesn't fit the "funny" part.
ReplyDeleteI read this as a WWE wrestler diva
ReplyDeleteLil' Kim?
ReplyDeleteMargaret Cho...she has worked the same circuit for 20 years and is still not considered an A list comedienne.

ReplyDeleteGreta Van Sustren.
ReplyDeleteSusan Boyle?
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it's Keibler but it's definitely a wrestler. They usually travel 200+ nights a year. And the plastic surgery would fit cause god forbid you tell one she's not that pretty. Who was wrestling and holding titles around 10 years ago that effed it up for everyone else?
ReplyDeleteI like the Aisha Tyler guess! She is so beyond boring. Her career was supposed to have taken off, but never did. She even strong armed to get into that crapfest The Talk.
ReplyDelete1st ever post here so be gentle!!
ReplyDeleteChyna - WWE Diva. Award winning as she won the Women's Championship, won an award as a porn star for One Night in Chyna.
Travelled all the time with WWE.
Finished wrestling just over 10 years ago.
Had lots of plastic surgery.
Has crossed lots of moral boundaries with her porn career.
Don't know who the man and wife are though.
Lisa Lampanelli, respected by other comics, travels constantly to comedy clubs and small casinos, can't sellout large venues, so is usually booked in smaller theaters and auditoriums. Was not attractive by main stream standards, (still not ), just had gastric bypass, (or something like it), usually only on tv for Comedy Central roasts, sometimes on LOGO comedy specials, proved she was a turbo bitch on Celebrity apprentice. She works hard, and has been around for quite awhile, but can't seem to get on the A list. Awards? Surely she has won some in the comedy world, but probly not any big mainstream awards. I don't think it would be a WWE wrestler because aren't they on TV more than a few times a year?
ReplyDeleteI think this is Lisa Lampanelli.
