Today's Blind Items - Drugs And A Yoko - The End Of A Boy Band - Part Two
Back in the day, hitting the road with a band was a fairly frequent ritual. When I did though, it was usually because I was friends with them so it was a way to hang out and have some fun and explore a little bit. With this boy band, I knew no one and didn't really want to know them. Just from my first 30 minute conversation with them, I knew they were all tools. No exceptions. OK, the youngest one was not really a tool and there was another one who was not the worst person in the world. His girlfriend at the time and now might have a different opinion, especially if she knew how much sex the guy could have with different women. I mean I was only around a little less than a week and this guy met and slept with close to two dozen women. Anyway, if they were trying to run a scam, they did have the self entitled I'm better than everyone act down to a science. At one point they were going to cancel a city on this "tour" because they could not find enough suites of the same size in that city. Heaven forbid that one of them could only get a 1500 square foot room for the night and all the others had 1750 square feet. They were horrible to the people working for them. They were ridiculously awful to the local workers in each city. They treated them like dirt and made fun of them and, instead of maybe trying to communicate a little in the language of the worker, they berated them for not speaking English. I never saw how they treated women outside of these cities, but any female fan who came up to them in these cities got groped. You want to talk about grabbing them by the pu**y? If any of these fans were wearing a skirt and got close enough, that is exactly what happened to them. Breasts were groped and exposed. Any fan who objected was sent on her way. They took turns kicking one girl in the butt to get her out of the hotel because she complained about the treatment. I know last November I talked about a band that was the worst I had ever seen. They still are, but this was pretty damn awful. They just treated everyone they encountered like crap. I felt like telling the insurance company it was a huge scam just to save the people they would encounter if they went on tour. Maybe back when they started they were nice, but judging from what I discovered from talking to a couple exes of the face of the group, they pretty much were always jerks.
They rehearsed like crap. They just didn't care. It was a going through the motions thing. All they wanted to do was drink and do some drugs and have sex with as many women as possible. Fine. It didn't bother me anyway. I could already tell they were not serious about any tour. This would definitely be a money grab. I had my own interesting encounter. One of my buddies from college was living in the first stop on this "tour." It was a city I had not been in for a long time. It used to be one of my favorite cities and had spent a lot of time there. Times had changed though and a great deal of it was dangerous and at the time I was there some big fighting was going on between rival cartel factions. This city was a major hub for the drug trade and a power struggle was emerging. From what it looked like without asking any questions which could get me killed, it looked like my college buddy had used his degree and MBA to perhaps some illicit use. When we went to dinner, we did so surrounded by several very well armed individuals who seemed very keen on keeping my old college friend safe. There is something comforting about getting drunk knowing that absolutely nothing is going to happen to you because of these guys with guns. The night after our excursion, my buddy brought his family to the concert and along with the family came even more of the armed guys which caused the boy band to think they were getting kidnapped or something. They then started complaining to the road manager that they too needed multiple armed guards to protect them from possible kidnap attempts. God these guys were tools. Did I mention they are foreign born? The public face of the group has had his chances to move into acting but everyone hates working with him. If he had played his cards right with the show runner of his one chance, he would be steadily working just like every other person who works for him who show grace and competence. If you act like a diva, you don't get a second chance. Well, that three lettered actress got a second chance. But that is an exception. Plus, I think she kissed a whole lot of butt and apologized constantly. Notice though he didn't give her the good show, she got the step-sister show.
Most of the other tools haven't done much either. One of them, the one who was decent has had the most success after the demise of the group. It could be because he was the youngest and was not completely in love with himself. Plus, he has some talent and appears to be doing as much as he can to show he will do anything and work with anyone.

5ive is the group?
Yea, this is clearly the Wanted now. Nathan Sykes being the youngest and only one with any success after the break-up. Also mentions they're foreign born.
However The Wanted isn't far enough back in the day for OG Enty to be on a tour with them. This has to be a group anywhere from 1992--maybe 2003
Still going with the Wanted, the most famous member dated Lilo and treated her like crap, and their music sucks.
OMG, this page is painful to use today. For me.
It was working ok for me now it's slower than a snail.
Reread part 1, it is more recent, and he seems to be doing some snooping for the insurance company, not like when he worked for the bands or concert promotion.
Who's the three lettered actress? I feel there can't be that many about. That might lead me to a clue.
Yep -- The Wanted. This article even refers to one of the girlfriends as Yoko Ono.

The only cities that match Enty's description are the ones in Mexico. Looks like there was a December 2014 swing that turned into nothing before the group broke up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Word_of_Mouth_World_Tour
Max George was on Glee. Showrunner is Ryan Murphy. Lea Michele is 3-lettered actress who was on Glee and then was on RM's Scream Queens (not AHS- the good show).
That explains a lot, Enty used to hang out in Mexico a lot back in the day,the story makes more sense knowing this.
Max George from The Wanted was on Glee for a minute - could the three lettered actress be Lea Michele?
Menudo. Ricky Martin-youngest member and went on to have a successful solo career.
Take That, youngest Robbie Williams.
It's definitely the wanted/Ryan Murphy/lea Michelle. I always thought Max George had a great look and should've been a star. This explains it.
"God these guys were tools." HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
How many times do you have to call these guys "tools" in one fucking post. ♥
If this is supposed to be The Wanted I call total bullshit. The youngest one was THE WORST of the five, a MASSIVE fucking tool. The "frontman" was a total man whore, nothing new there, and there was NO Yoko Ono. The band imploded because they were (mostly) gigantic assholes, because Ashley Tabor is a completely incompetent, petulant child who has no business in music, and because Scooter is a one hit wonder.
