Blind Item #1
This B list mostly movie actress, who has the talent of a D lister and A+ list name recognition has been trying to bully a woman into giving up the rights to a name so the actress can have it for herself. The actress has also done her best to call in favors to halt the production of a television pilot based on the woman's life. The actress is hoping that if she ties this up in court she can run through the life savings of the other woman and she will cave.
has to be Lindsay right?
ReplyDeleteKatie.
ReplyDeleteCan someone please explain this blind to me... the actress has A+ list name recognition, but wants another name from someone else? Hurrh?

ReplyDeleteJessica Biel for the B lister. Isn't she opening a restaurant or something?? Maybe the name she wants to use for it is already taken.
ReplyDeleteThere's no way Lindsay is together enough to run this scenario. I could see Katie, maybe?

DeleteKstew
ReplyDeleteNo clue and good to see I'm not alone.
ReplyDeleteWell that explains all the unusual celeb offspring names.. in the event they go into the industry they won't have this problem
ReplyDeleteSounds like she's trying to garner a title (name) for a possible production ie 'Queen of the Silver Dollar'
ReplyDeleteI think someone is planning a series based on a famous person & the actress is trying to swoop in and gain rites to the famous person's name in order to fuck over the one planning the show?
ReplyDeleteIt sounds to me that someone wants to open a business using someone else's historically famous name--like "Rosa Parks' Cafe"--but the historical person doesn't want to allow them to have the rights to do so.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't a Strasberg own the rights to Marilyn Monroe's name and estate and Licensing?
ReplyDeleteYep!!!!!
DeleteJessica Alba - Dark Angel
ReplyDeleteRachel Zoe has a new sitcom in the works based on her life.
ReplyDeletePast client? Alba? Hudson? Diaz?
Confusing wording -- I think it means a movie is being made based on someone's life who is not an actor or necessarily famous even, and some d list git shares that name. I have no idea who it might be, but it's a plausible scenario. Sinatra and Madonna have tried to prevent others using *their* name too, so it does happen. Usually it's a fail though
ReplyDeleteHeard she's having money problems right now too... wouldn't take much to go through her savings.
ReplyDeleteWhen Zoe's assistant Brad left, he took Demi Moore with him. Perhaps there's bad blood w/Demi. Still don't know the "name" they'd be fighting over.
ReplyDeleteJessica Alba and Honest Toddler
ReplyDeleteNice one, Fussy Face! A tv show "honest toddler" is in development according to imdb.
DeleteYep. Honest Toddler is a hilarious Facebook page, the posts from which we're recently made into a book. The owner of the page and all this has been very vocal on FB, openly naming Alba. I don't really get why this is a blind.
DeleteCould be Lohan and trying to snatch some porn actress's handle - probably some thing like Dome Inmy Keister.
ReplyDeleteZoe isn't an actress.
ReplyDeleteJessica Biel and Jessica Simpson?
ReplyDeleteSounds like @fussy got it!
ReplyDelete"Jessica Alba’s Honest Company is Trying to Bully Honest Toddler"

Lindsay wanting to do the Stevie Nicks biopic
ReplyDeleteI doubt this is Alba, because, while Enty is always eager to disparage her acting talent, and to specify a difference between her talent level and her fame, he pretty much always says her talent is "C" list, not "D."
ReplyDeletealba battled a blogger in canada last year. honest mommy something like that
ReplyDeleteIf this is Alba it's not a blind. The writer who runs the Honest Toddler blind (and is hilarious) was very vocal on twitter about the controversy. It wouldn't surprise me if she has a tv deal she's so funny.
ReplyDeleteHonest Toddler Blog not blind.
DeleteI read just last night (weird coincidence) that the rights to Marilyn Monroe's name were sold for about $50 million recently. And by "name" I mean the right to use her image in advertising, etc. Wasn't she in some Chanel ad with Charlize Theron?
ReplyDeleteAnd I do believe she left her money to some Strasberg. But I'm too lazy to look it up.
This definitely has to be Alba. She has an ongoing trademark dispute with the Honest Toddler blogger, who has a book series and a potential TV series with Darren Starr!
ReplyDeleteJimi Hendrix has a biopic show coming up; the Marilyn project in production is a film. However, I think this blind is referring to the Aaliyah biopic series coming out. So who owns the rights to Aaliyah's name...
ReplyDeleteThe only other thing that comes to mind is the Besdie Smith project starting Latifah
DeleteSo I found this Laineygossip post about Alba/Honest Toddler (which, yes, turns out to be hilarious).
ReplyDeleteRead the embedded letter as well. Best bit? Honest Company's lawyer is called Erica J. Van Loon.

ReplyDeletedunno about a pilot based on her life though?
Courtney the killer(IMHO) wants to be Janis Joplin?
