Blind Item #4

Most affairs just end marriages. Some like Meg Ryan's end careers. This affair has the potential to end two careers and one of them is not even involved in the affair but the two work so closely together that no one would be able to figure out which one they were not trying to hire. Apparently the affair is red hot.

This is so vague. Where are the clues?

LottaColada said...

Heh???

Cleodacat said...

They work together, or look alike/sound alike? Wth is Enty saying? Fine...Dermot Mulrony and Dylan McDermot.

VIPblonde said...

I've got it!!! Sigfried and Roy

Tammy said...

Explain to me again how her affair ruined Meg Ryan's career?? Did she not get any more roles because she pissed somebody off? Did it destroy her emotionally?

I don't know anyone who isn't a gossip hound who even knew she had an affair, and I don't see how a moral issue beyond child porn or racism, etc could derail anyone in this day and age.

Unknown said...

Matt, morales, and the other chic from the today show. " end career" is over the top though...

Cleodacat said...

Or Penn and whatshisname (the comedy duo) oh yeah, Teller

feraltart said...

The twin brothers from the HTV shows, can't remember their names.

LottaColada said...

Jonathan and Drew Scott?! Nooooooo!

MISCH said...

Meg screwing around with her face ruined her career…

Megley said...

Meg Ryan's affair didn't end her career--that awful plastic surgery ended it.

Angela said...

@Tammy
Meg Ryan had an affair with Russell Crowe while shooting The Patriot. Apparently, Dennis Quaid had been unfaithful from day one, but he did that on the down low, while Ryan took the blame from the tabloids.
Then, it's sad to say but it was at the same time she was turning 40, which means she didn't get leading parts in studios films. She tried plastic surgery, and hers was botched, she tried edgy indie drama, starring in Jane Campion's In The Cut, and it clashed with her "sweetheart" image.

S.joy said...

Ummmm are they actors or singers??? A list B list or what?

Ryan said...

@Angela Proof of Life. Meg Ryan and Russell Crowe were not in The Patriot.

AJ said...

One of the Hemsworth guys ?

Beetlejuice said...

I think surgery ruined her career.

Tammy said...

I agree that her age and that plastic surgery had more to do with it, thanks!

Unknown said...

Red hot is the clue. Hmmm....

msgirl said...

Meg was America's Sweetheart, and yeah her affair was huge at the time. I think the plastic surgery came after, which was the nail in the coffin. So yes, I think her affair had a big part to play, I wasn't into gossip at the time and this was major newspaper headline stuff. It sucks for her.

nancer said...

the crowe thing absolutely ended her career. the surgery was after and didn't help, but there was a big backlash against meg for the affair. sad because dennis was never faithful. however, when you're 'america's sweetheart', you apparently better not fuck around on your hubby.

Krab said...

An Olsen twin? Whichecer one's not sleeping with Sarko.

Just Another HR Lady said...

Absolutely there was a huge backlash over the affair at the time, rightly or wrongly. It wasn't necessarily the affair, more that the affair led to the absolute crushing of the whole sweet public persona that she had built for years and years. So the usual roles that called for a "Meg Ryan type" just evaporated.

But yes, the plastic surgery didn't help...frankly, I can't look at her anymore, she would have looked better aging gracefully.

Jennabean said...

Has to be twins or some kind of two some. But good golly this is not a lot to go on is it ?

Tigercat said...

Ok ... Wait. What. Huh?

lostathome said...

Someone from Catching Fire?

NomNom83 said...

When you're "America's Sweetheart" and get caught making out with Russell Crowe -- the hottest actor on the planet at the time -- on a commercial flight, don't expect sympathy from the masses. Especially when there are pics and you've got a minor at home. Studios don't care who you fuck, as long as you're lucrative. But Proof of Life did poorly at the box office, followed by Kate & Leopold, and followed by a string of other terrible films.

Was it just the affair that did her in? No. There was the bad surgery, her age and poor script choices in the years immediately after. But the affair scared away the audience, and that's always the beginning of the end.

Penelope said...

Meg's clownface ended her career.

Sherry said...

I'd also like to add that she wasn't a very nice person to those around her so it was a winning combination of things that did her in. Screwing with her pretty face sealed the deal.

Unknown said...

I agree, she made her image on being the good girl next door and it bit her back. Then she likely panicked as the roles started to dry up, got plastic surgery and that sealed the deal.

Is it just research or luck that so many other actresses get tweaked all the time and look fine. I'm talking about Meryl and Mirren for starters. I think Mirren doesn't touch her eyes or if she does it is sublte. She still has some wrinkles around the eyes as a woman of a certain age should. Now Cher looks like a walking Madame Tussaud's figurine but you know it works for her I guess.

Kathleen said...

@Angela - the affair between Meg and Russell Crowe was when they filmed "Proof of Life." Isn't "The Patriot" a Mel Gibson flick?

Unknown said...

Is a man having an affair really going to end his career in show business? Sounds like bullshit. While you can't be America's sweetheart if you cheat on your husband I doubt that the same goes for a dude. Maybe if he's doing Weinstein's wife or some other big $$$ mover and shaker he might find it harder to find work. How close could he be with his acting partner(or whatever enty is trying to imply here) that the partners career would be seriously affected also??

Red said...

Meg fell in love. Russell was having an on-location fling. She was crushed when she realized their big romance was one-sided & she got publicly trashed.

The surgery came later. Post break-up or divorce is a common time for emotionally bruised women to get nip-tucked. Other gals settle for a new hairdo.

Jeri said...

What about the blind? Just curious if anyone can guess. We know about Meg, he named her.

Mark said...

I think the Today show guess is fabulous. Natalie and Savannah are interchangeable. I doubt I'd be able to identify either of them if they weren't in their assigned seats on the couch. Natalie and Matt are having an affair, and the world being what it is, his career won't suffer but Natalie's will. Savannah will get caught in the crossfire because people will know it's one of the ones who isn't Katie, Meredith, or Ann Curry, but they won't know which.

@Tammy the affair was HUGE! It was in every tabloid, entertainment, and industry insider magazine and tv program, plus standard news publications. Unfairly, she had been given this imagine of "Miss Goody Two Shoes" along with the "America's Sweetheart" title. Stupid, but there it is. Middle America and basically the Bible Belters were appalled. Her turning 40, and then the tragic face work tanked her. Now that she's old, I'm assuming that her affair with John Cougar Dickmitten isn't really an issue anymore, now that she's skidding down the list.

I think Steph nailed it with the Today Show guess of Morales and that other chick plus "Where In The World Is Matt Lauer's Dick?"

PenelopePepper said...

Wow you all are so off topic! Can we get back to the guesses!?
I agree that "red hot" is the clue here...but I can't seem to figure out how it relates. Property Brothers makes the most sense, but I can't see how it's all connected,

Unknown said...

Chris and Liam Hemsworth both hang with Tom Hiddleston.

Red Hot = Catching Fire

If Tom and Liam are outed as a couple then Chris will certain to be confused as the gay brother because or Thor/Loki

It's not career ending for a dude unless the affair is same sex or they promote themselves as Mr Family
