Today's Blind Items - The Clique
An actor all of you know is spilling about his time with his clique that has pushed him out because of his sexuality.
Once you are in this little clique, you usually are in for life. This little acting circle gets you lots and lots of work. You have to bow down to the A+ list actor in charge of it all, and drop everything when he tells you to drop it, but you will get a lot of easy high paid work. You can be the creepiest of creeps when it comes to women and you will not get booted. If you get busted on set getting handsy with someone, there are no issues. That NDA she signed to keep her quiet will be enforced with maximum effect. Sure, if you force yourself on her or something worse, they might have to write a check, but, hey, they all do it, even the married ones, so no getting kicked out of the group. Apparently what will you get booted is if you are gay, unless you are a woman and are willing to do threesomes with any of the actors. That is perfectly acceptable and encouraged. One foreign born A- list actress said when she first encountered the clique while filming a role prior to becoming famous, she thought if she told them she was gay, they would leave her alone. Nope. The next day, they brought a female to her and told her to prove it or she would be fired. Shen then ended up having sex with the woman and two of the actors, both of whom were married. They still are actually.
Our actor says that everything was good as long as he pretended to be straight and talked about his beards. As soon as the former A list mostly movie actor from multiple big films who has seen his career slide to B list since a franchise ended, started talking about a male crush he had on a crew member, the crew member was fired. Our actor has not worked with the clique in several years now, after working on multiple projects. In fact, they spread the word to such an extent, that he has had trouble getting work at all any longer and the former almost A+ lister is now starting to do Comic Cons to make ends meet.

Is this Scio and Tommy Cruise as A+lister?
IDK who this could be but I'm First BITCHES Lol
DANG IT TRICIA!!! LOL I SPOKE TOO SOON
Im awful at these posts, but I immediately thought of the group of actors fro the Expendables series.
Leo Dicaprio? Tobey maguire?
I think it's Clooney's clique
My first thought was Clooney's group. But wouldn't you need to be gay to be in that?
Friends of Abe - Eastwood as head honcho and Sinise.
Never mind Clooney's clique. DeNiro, Harvey Keitel, chazz Palmientieri, Tarantino etc.
Sandler clique , twilight actor?
"You have to bow down to the A+ list actor in charge of it all, and drop everything when he tells you to drop it..."
Are those a pair of euphemisms???
So who's the pariah?
Could be ..Duane Johnson as A+lister/Ruby Rose for foreign born actress
@Itttt
sounds like it involves a pair of Something!
Sounds so Entourage-y, so I'm gonna say Mark Wahlberg
Tobey is my guess. It’s hard to believe he became a lead without help. And he could very well be gay... and Spider-Man is over for him. B seems awfully high for him though.
This sounds like it's someone at Comic Con that historically doesn't go. I can't find anyone listed that fits though
Surprised that Tobey's only work in the last few years was Boss Baby voice work, last big role was The Great Gatsby.
Tobey Maguire has not done a Comic Con since 2006.
Sandler
James
Schneider
Spade
Rock?
MacDonald?
Definitely the Twilight
+1 B Demp
Franco.
Tobey makes his money playing poker.
Elijah Wood was part of that Tobey crew at the very beginning, IIRC?
Franchise LOTR, and he made a "rare appearance" at comic con last year.
@sandybrook is right, Toby doesn't need to do Cons to make ends meet. He made Millions playing Poker.
Seth Rogan, Franco bros, Apatow, Jason Segel, Jonah Hill...Frat Boy clique.
which twilight actor though?
Ben Stiller and his insufferable actor friends.
+1 @Roxanne,I was thinking comedy for this, like Sandler and comapny or Seth Rogan and crew, with Franco being the creepiest of the bunch. But cannot think of who the closeted actor would be???
I thought Leo & crew were gay, so why would they care about Tobey?
@gaulouis, I think you got it.
Elijah Wood is a great guest. He is doing comic cons and also gaming conventions because of his involvement in a vr new game
Clooney has done at least one maybe two comic cons since being married. Career in the toilet. Rande is married. Bono too. Damon. Could be.
@Roxanne the idea of any of those men naked.... yikes
Franco clique, Ellen Page, Josh Hutcherson
I thought Ben stiller gang also, but that would include will Ferrell and the whole anchor man fight scene group
I thought Elijah Wood was having trouble getting work because of the comments he made about pedophilia in Hollywood.
I immediately thought of the infamous 'pussy posse', but Enty has been telling us for years that Leo and other founding members are closeted, so why would he make them out to be homphobes now. That doesn't make sense. Or was that blind sent in by someone who doesn't know that Leo et al. are gay on CDAN?
The only other clique I can think of are James Franco et al. No idea who the gay one would be, though.
Taylor Lautner
I immediately thought of this as the Apatow pigs. I can see Seth Rogan and (I really do hate to say it) Paul Rudd tag-teaming an actress.
This was the group my mind immediately went to.
I thought of Emma Watson, too, but it says she encountered the clique before becoming famous, and This is the End was made in 2013, when she was already a star thanks to the Harry Potter franchise.
I don't think this is the Apatow crew. None of them are A+ (A, maybe) and the one who probably had the best claim to that listing, Franco, is rumored to be bi himself. Also, who was part of the gang that ended a franchise and is no longer working with them? Michael Cera would make se sense as the ex-A lister spilling EXCEPT for the lack of a franchise. So I don't think it's them.
Or that Teletubbie. We all know which one.
What "clique" was Elijah Wood part of? I don't think this is him.
What franchises are no more? I can't think of many because Hollywood will milk that cow and then turn it into burgers. Harry Potter? I'm at a loss here.
Possibly the Fast & Furious crew.
I think the best guess so far is Sandler/ Lautner.
Village People. Glenn the Leather Guy.
I first thought of Leo Decaprio's Pussy Posse from back in the day. Not sure who the gay friend is, though. Tobey McGuire being one of the married friends.
Has Taylor Lautner even been in anything the past 2 years? Hell, I can't find any evidence he's even been in Comic Con since then.
The A+ lister is so obviously Adam Sandler (and the clique is so obviously Kevin James, Jon Lovitz, David Spade, Rob Schneider, etc.) that I can't think of anyone else who fits -- even though I think Lautner was only in 2 pictures with them. Hardly "multiple." Now the A- list actress, that's a stumper.
Fast and Furious guys could work. Gal Gadot was in some of the F&F movies and would be a now A- list foreign born star.
Vin would be the actor you have to kiss up to, I suppose, although it is weird thinking of him as A+.
Sandler seems a better A+ lister who can control that type of group since he produces all those Happy Madison flicks, but can't figure out who the foreign born star would be.
'You will get a lot of easy high paid work'. Sounds like this clique cranks out one forgettable movie after another.
If it’s Apatiws crew couldn’t the actor be Zac Efron-he did Neighbor’s with Seth Rogen
OK, I think I have it. It's the Happy Madison group led by Sandler (and including his frequent co-stars like David Spade, Schnider, Kevin James).
A- list foreign born actress is Rachel McAdams who was in The Hot Chick (produced by Sandler and Happy Madison) in 2002, before The Notebook and Mean Girls.
Lautner for the franchise actor. He was in the Happy Madison produced Grown Ups 2 and Ridiculous Six.
@Melissa I agree with you. It sounds like Sandler's crew because he would be the one calling the shots. Plus, Adam Sandler is homophobic as well, so it makes sense.
Yup +1
The Fast & Furiious crew? There were blinds that Vin Diesel himself was in the closet.
+1 for Taylor
The Sandler clique's sexual politics are probably as sophisticated as that of an early '90s fraternity.
This sounds more like a group of sexual predators than an acting circle, disgusting, I hope we get a reveal.
More likely Sandler and him hurting Taylor Lautner. Or, Elijah Wood because it's believed he came out of the closet on Reddit. He said his manager wanted to stop working with him if he did it publicly. I believe both Taylor and Elijah are victims of this trash but for this post, it's only one of them. James Franco isn't homophobic. He even said multiple times he's "a little gay." It's believed his roommate of many years is his boyfriend.
Rachel McAdams isn't gay though, is she?
I definitely read this as Adam Sandler, with him and James being the 2 actors who are still married. He has a deal with Netflix for multiple movies, always casts the same actors - James, Spade, Schneider, Rock - closeted actor being Lautner, trying to figure out who the gay actress is.
I don’t think she is gay- she said she was , hoping that would free her from the group since she knew they were homophobic. Didn’t work because they like female on female, not dude on dude.
Right, she's not a lesbian, she just told them that in hopes that it would make them lose interest in her. So apparently she was born yesterday.
What about Bradley Cooper For the pretending not to be gay actor, A list for the Hangover franchise?
Ohhh okay, I totally read that as a gay actress who thought telling them her sexual preference would keep them away.
I'll go with the McAdams guess, even though it could be anyone
This is obviously a fake blind.... there are no str8 actors in Hollywood.
When I think of Hollywood cliques, I auto think of Seth Rogan, James Franco, Jonah Hill and all the guys in that group. If the head of the clique is an actor, though, idk who it would be as I see Judd Apatow as the head of that group of actors. Also don’t know who is gay and ousted.
It does make sense for Elijah Wood to have been banished from hanging with DiCaprio's gang. Leo's all about keeping up the image of being straight and hiding their Hollywood pedophile abuse history. Elijah could have exposed or drawn attention to their real lifestyle. We've also read about a lot of abusive behavior toward women by that crowd.
@farmgirl Yech, if that’s the group I’d rather chop off my testicles with a giant barn sliver than beg for their acceptance.
"You can be the creepiest of creeps when it comes to women and you will not get booted" rang some bells for Franco and that crew, but i've always detected a foul stench from the Happy Madison bunch.
Danny Masterson and scio?
Statham/Expendables, just to be different
In 2015 Rose McGowan got fired for revealing Adam Sandler and his creepy, disgusting ways during a movie she was supposed to make with him:
"Make sure to read the attached script …. Wardrobe note black (or dark) formfitting tank that shows off cleavage (push up bras encouraged. And formfitting leggings or jeans. Nothing white."

I'm thinking Keanu
after the Matrix franchise ended so did his career thou he did like one last movie I remember which was Constantine but I remember a lot of rumors flying around after the Matrix about him and the shoe fits plus he was sporting a full beard at a Ny Comicon I saw I mean how many more checks can you find in this blind?
(((Hollywood clique)))?
Keanu has stayed busy. Not a lot of hits, but he's had the John Wick movies, and it doesn't look like he's had trouble finding work. Plus, what clique was he ever part of?
The pussy posse
Toby McGuire is divorced.
Keanu has never been a part of a clique as far as we know publicly. When do you ever see him papped hanging with other actors?
Don't recall seeing Bradley Cooper hanging with a group of guys not to mention he directed and stars in A Star is Born with Gaga.
Now Adam Sandler is a very interesting guess being that he has a reputation or did at one time for cruising Central Park at night for blowies so the idea of him leading this band of merry men is pretty ironic if it's him.
Was there a blind out there about Sandler being fond of happy ending massages?
And his wife was OK with it
Kept him off of her
I like the Elijah Wood quess. He seemed to be on the verge of spilling about creeps in Hollywood, when he did a u-turn and backtracked on his comments. I could see his actor friends at that time not wanting that can of worms opened.
I'd say the pressure to not talk about their experiences as young pretty boys in the biz, is coming from peer pressure, rather than the top.
Keanu Reeves?? jeez What year is it where you are? John Wick?? Got new film Siberia out. Was in Knock, knock, 47 Ronin, Neon Demon... I could go on, plus what clique?? Some people have the most stupid guesses.
