Blind Item #15 - Golden Globes

There is no way this foreign born A list mostly movie actor who had a run on television this past year should have been allowed in the same room as this permanent A list musician. There is still bad blood and the actor had some choice words about being blown off for something the actor considers worse and the actor let the musician know it. Just because the studio threw a wad of cash at the organization doesn't mean the movie is any good.

OT: this just makes me sad if true

He's six years older than her kid...Must be his BDE.

sandybrook said...

Kate can't be that desperate for a big dick. She can get any dick she tries for.

cheesegrater15 said...

He must have a dick like a salami. He looks like he's 5 minutes from death. Probably smells like it.

sandybrook said...

Christian Bale and someone?

PhillyPhilly3 said...

Sacha barren Cohen/ queen?

MDAnderson said...

Sacha B Cohen and Brian May

Smalls said...

Jim Carrey?

sandybrook said...

MD +1

filmfanb said...

I still think Sacha would have been a better choice for the role

Sasha Baron Cohen and Brian May.... Fox clearly paid alot for the main awards last night

Brayson87 said...

Ahhh too bad Sasha didn't get to star in the pedo made movie. Everybody look for your violins.

Bingo! very good folks!

Brayson87 said...

I do love explaining to everyday people how the Golden Globes are bought and paid for. Knocking those ratings down one household at a time. :)

Smalls said...

I guess I'd heard about some awards being bought/paid for but didn't realize the GG were part of that. My eyes have definitely been opened since following CDAN.

ToobisTheZebra said...

Yeah, I couldn’t stop thinking about Sacha Baron Cohen being in that room when Bohemian Rhapsody won. It’s so fucked up. Brian May wouldn’t let SBC tell the actual true story of Queen

Guesser said...

@Brayson87,I don't think the pedo would have been the director if Sasha starred,I could be wrong but they sure would clash.

plot said...

The GGs have a long assed reputation of being bought. Sure, all the awards shows are bought or manufactured in one form or another but the GGs are in your face and do not care, have been forever.

lazyday603 said...

So where was Lucy Boynton during the ceremony? She was photographed on the red carpet but I never spotted her at the Bohemian Rhapsody table & she wasn't onstage when it won Best Picture.

Dena said...

I think SBC would have made an awesome Freddie Mercury.

filmfanb said...

also where the fuck is this singer expose by esquire?

Disillusioned Fan said...

I have deeply mixed feelings over this.

On one hand, Queen was my life throughout my teen years. Sad but true. Watching the movie win last night brought me to tears.

Though they were tinged with disbelief and disappointment. No way did the movie deserve the win.

In fact, I’ve been disappointed in Brian for a long time. It seemed he and Roger were willing to compromise on a great deal (ex Singer) so long as Brian’s vision for what would and wouldn’t be told remained intact.

I get it. The story was of the band, too, not just Freddie. And preserving his dignity in death is something Brian and Roger take seriously. And frankly, they had every right to say they didn’t like SBC for the project.

Buuuuuut at what price was this movie finally made? It leaves a bitter taste in my mouth.

Trapped said...

All the awards these days are not good it’s about rewarding a select few..
Ummm I can recall watching the Grammys from start to finish decades ago..
I haven’t watched it in decades, it’s just plain boring and these young singers can’t sing at all.
Auto tune is their very best friend....Nothung new here folks..

Brayson87 said...

@filmfanb, I don't think esquire was ever going to print that article, it was just a way for Singer & Co to draw out victims and witnesses to pay them off or otherwise silence them. The same thing was done in the past with a fake lawsuit. You've got to appreciate how proactive he is, Kendall got nothing on him. Well okay she doesn't dig boys but you get what I mean.

Marlin said...

Maybe out of kindness she was trying to offer friendships with his addiction issues. Its possible.

notthisagain said...

brian may should be ashamed he was ok with bryan singer directing in the first place

Now! said...

My God, what a bunch of prissy church ladies.

Freddie would have laughed at you. You are everything he detested - so unimaginative and self-righteous.

Mary Whitehouses for the 21st century.

Aquagirl said...

@Brayson: Pro-Active, Ha! Ha! I can’t believe Kendull’s BS announcement! PMK must be desperate.

Sd Auntie said...

He looked good to me. To each his own

notthisagain said...

@nuttyflavor

You dont speak for Freddie - no one does.

Henriette said...

Everyone buys a Golden Globe! That's why Pia Ziadora has one.

FA said...

Yeah, the young'uns might not remember, but after the Pia Zadora scandal, the Globes were not televised for a couple of years. Big scandal.

Mischief Girl said...

My friend was Pia Zadora's Girl Friday for a while, several decades ago. One of her duties was to shave Pia's armpits. SHAVE HER ARMPITS!!! (this must have been before everyone waxed).

I thought even then that no amount of money and access to famous people would make that duty okay.

Lady Leaves said...

My first thought when Rami Malak won was he did not look surprised. He knew it had been bought for him. When the other guy accepted for best picture, his first words were "what a surprise" but you could tell, he wasnt.

hunter said...

I still shave my armpits.

Friend of mine was pissed Bohemian Rhapsody had so many inaccuracies, she understood why SBC would turn it down (I told her this) and agreed (as do I) he would have been incredible in the role.

Mischief Girl said...

@hunter--poorly worded on my part. I meant to imply "before Hollywood starlets waxed". I doubt many of them shave any more.

Bluestar said...

Brian May and Sasha?

Bluestar said...

That's what I thought too. Wasnt SBC supposed to play Freddie Mercury? He would've been awesome.

Bluestar said...

My laser girl used wax and trim buttholes so armpits dont seem that bad.

Wardrobe said...

I think this is Ben Whishaw. The blind says the actor is angry at being ‘blown off’; Sacha wasn’t blown off, he chose to leave. Whishaw has supposedly been cast as his replacement, Brian May was quoted saying he was really happy with the casting. I saw Whishaw at an event where he’d arrived straight from rehearsals with a Mercury moustache. Then in 2015 he was quoted as saying that he still hadn’t received a contract and he didn’t know what was happening with the project; Malek was announced in 2016. That sounds like being blown off to me.

I wondered if Whishaw was dropped from the project by Bryan Singer because of old grudges; it was rumoured that Kevin Spacey chased Whishaw pretty hard when Whishaw (then aged 23) played Hamlet at the Old Vic (the theatre where Spacey was Artistic Director aka Predator in Chief). I shudder to think what the origin of those rumours might have been.

If it was the case that Whishaw was effectively sacked by Bryan Singer, and Queen are *still* supporting the film after Singer’s complete dereliction of duty during filming (never mind child sex abuse allegations),well. If I was Whishaw I’d have some choice words for Brian May et al.

OKay said...

I'm squarely on Cohen's side. Fuck Brian May. He's an asshole and a liar of epic proportions.

Unknown said...

Ben was brilliant in “perfume”

Lu said...

Kate can get whoever she wants, there's noooo way in hellllll she went out with this piece of shit

Anonymous said...

Rami Malek: Bought his fame.
I wouldn't want to know what late-night "ceremonies", underground or high above LA, were involved in the bargain.

Hanniam said...

@Disillusioned: I could have written this entire comment myself. Agreed. I’m also bothered that Brian apparently considers, on some level, Freddie’s sexuality to be a shameful thing. To me, it was part of Freddie’s joie de vivre

A. said...

The source I read said that they talked outside in a patio area for about an hour, that they left the party from different exits, and that Pete & MGK met up with Kyle Mooney at another party. Kate was not at that particular party, though...

A. said...

Yeah I'm weirdly attracted to him, and the big dick thing is just icing on the cake. I like weird funny guys, though. *shrug*

True story said...

What's the tea on Pete Davidson having a big dick? Are there pics or just rumors?
