Blind Items: I Guess, You Guess
An actress is suing Amazon.com in federal court in Seattle for more than $1 million for revealing her age on its Internet Movie Database website and refusing to remove the reference when asked.
The actress is not named in the lawsuit filed Thursday that refers to her as Jane Doe. It says she lives in Texas and is of Asian descent and has an Americanized stage name.
The lawsuit accuses IMDb of misusing her personal information after she signed up for the industry insider IMDbPro service in 2008. Shortly thereafter, she noticed her legal date of birth had been added to her public acting profile. She requested that it be removed and IMDb refused, the lawsuit says.
“If one is perceived to be ‘over-the-hill,’ i.e., approaching 40, it is nearly impossible for an up-and-coming actress, such as the plaintiff, to get work as she is thought to have less of an ‘upside,’ therefore, casting directors, producers, directors, agents-manager, etc. do not give her the same opportunities, regardless of her appearance or talent,” the lawsuit states.
While she loses opportunities because of her age, she’s also missing work because of her youthful appearance, the lawsuit says.
“Plaintiff has experience rejection in the industry for each “40-year-old” role for which she has interviewed because she does not and cannot physically portray the role of a 40-year-old woman,” the lawsuit says.
The online retailer and its movie database subsidiary, both based in Seattle, are accused of breach of contract, fraud, and violation of privacy and consumer protection laws.
The lawsuit seeks $75,000 in compensatory damages and $1 million in punitive damages. (Chicago Sun-Times)
The picture I used is of the intergalactic space blossom Bai Ling playing peek-a-pretzel and I'm only using it because when one comes across a picture of Bai Ling playing peek-a-pretzel one must use up his bandwidth by posting it. This blind item has nothing to do with Bai Ling, because: a) intergalactic space blossoms whose mommy is the north star and whose daddy is the big dipper don't age; and b) The only time Bai Ling was in Texas was when she answered an alien call that Shelley Duvall sent out using an old CB radio and wire hangers wrapped in foil.This crazy bag of delusion is a "lesser-known" Asian actress from Texas, so I'm guessing that even if her name was served to me on top of a pepperoni Hot Pocket I wouldn't know who she is. But mostly because whenever a Hot Pocket is served to me, I just jam it in my mouth without inspecting it first. This is obviously a crazy who is not known and whose biggest claim to TV fame is that she once sat in the top bleachers during an episode of Friday Night Lights.
Or maybe she threw in the "Texas" and "Asian" thing to throw us off and it's really CZJ.
Film set. Recently. She’s shooting a sex scene. Walking around set in her bra, no shirt on, panties, standard attire, nothing unusual about it...
Except that her children were there that day. They were visiting. And it was no thing, you know? That was her costume. They saw her in his costume while they were there. And then she sat them behind the monitor so that they could see her work and they watched while mom worked with another actor - she rubbed up against him, he returned the rubbing, she made love for pretend, for the movies, to a man that was not the father of her children, in front of her children.
I’m sure over 90% of you are all huffy and tutty about this and have been since the start of the 2nd paragraph. “It’s so inappropriate, it’s so bizarre, these people are sick f-cks”, etc etc etc. Me I’m still trying to decide. Part of me understands the huffing and the tutting. And the other part, well, it’s worth huffing and tutting over in real life, for civilians, because that’s simply not part of that world. (Lainey Gossip)
Fishsticks Paltrow and Mark Ruffalo?Kumquat and Amram have seen their mother lick and read sonnets to her wood-burning outdoor pizza oven, so I'm sure seeing her do a fake love scene isn't going to traumatize them more than they already are.
Definitely not Bilderback. The blind says she has "an Americanized stage name" but Bilderback is her given name (she's adopted).
Mariska and Julianne both worked. but neither were "It" girls until 40+.
I am...doll parts...bad skin...doll heart.
MMM. A hot pretzel sounds good right now.
I think "uhyeah" hit the nail on the head. Nikki Bilderback is our gal for this blind item.

oh nevermind that shit - i read the comments wrong. sue me - im tired as fuck. but renee zellweger is not asian.
reese seems too uppity for number 2. fishy seems like the type of person that would think it's very cute and very liberal of her to have her children around like that.

I bet the anonymous actress who's suing is Rene Zellweger. She's from Texas, her career's in the toiolet, and she's either over 40 or close to it.

The actress who brought her kids to the set so they could watch her do a love scene and prance around in her underwear? I remember seeing Reese Witherspoon bringing her kids to the movie set. When she did Water for Elephants, to meet Rob Pattinson. She'd do something like this.
I don't think Gwyneth would because I think she raises those kids in a sterile,bell jar. I think the kids are older. Reese uses her kids as props for photo opportunities, so I'd bet she would want them to see how mom works for a living. Those French lessons don't come free.
Same here. When the hell is Bai's reality, rehab celeb Drew shit supposed to happen?! Let's do this already.

Co-sign the sympathy for Bai Ling comments; it's a miracle she's not even MORE eccentric, given her earlier experiences, and she seems like she's actually kind of sweet and shy.
But I'm not buying the porn actress for #1--on what planet is the name "Katsuni" an Americanized name, for starters...and it's more than a stretch for anyone to describe a porn actress as 'up and coming' unless they're being ironic, which is highly unlikely in a legal document.
I haven't the faintest idea of who #1 IS, but it sure ain't Katsuni. And the blind doesn't say the actress is FROM Texas--it just says she currently lives there. Whoever it is, I think the lawsuit is nothing more than a tactical maneuver to get her name out into the public eye, since eventually somebody will get hold of the documents and publish them somewhere.

This bitch in blind 1 is delusional! You don't get acting roles because you can't act not because you're a woman child. Several older actresses have already been named; the one thing they all have in common is talent. Hell, Julie Christie was nominated for an Oscar within the last 10 years and she's almost 70 years old! It sounds like she's got a case of the Melanie Griffiths.
If you LOOK young, your damn age don't mean shit to these Hollywood producers. I mean, look at Glee (not that I watch it or anything. *erm* SHUD UP!!!) 90% of them are over 22 and are still playing kids in high school. And it sounds like this bitch is as unknown as JanJones's baby daddy. Nobody cares!!!!

#1 is Nicole Bilderback
She's a no-name actress, but has been in a lot of teen movies. I guess she's trying to stick with them.
From IMDb:
Nicole "Nikki" Bilderback hails from Dallas, Tx and got her start as a dancer at the young age of 3 years old. She is proficient in modern, lyrical, ballet, jazz and hip/hop. She is an avid kickboxer and well experienced in mixed martial arts. She also has a passionate interest in psychology/human behavior, quantum mechanics, and a side hobby of creating her own quotes. Nikki has been in numerous national commercials and has guest starred and recurring roles in hit television shows such as Human Target, Castle, Heroes, Numb3rs, House, Boston Legal, Without a Trace, Cold Case, Dawson's Creek, Dark Angel and many more. Her feature film credits include Clueless, Can't Hardly Wait, Legally Blonde 2, Cruel World, Bad Girls From Valley High, Along for the Ride, The Box, and Sex and Death 101, just to name a few. Nikki is probably most recognized as the bitchy cheerleader "Whitney" in the blockbuster hit Bring It On, starring Kirsten Dunst. In 2008, Ms. Bilderback won Best Lead Actress at the Los Angeles Out Fest Film Festival for her female lead role in the feature film The New Twenty, receiving high acclaim at all the film festivals worldwide. Check out her award winning performance available on dvd and netflix. Nikki is also a writer and is working on two television pilot scripts. She also enjoys writing articles in her spare time.

And Rachel Weisz (41), Sandra Bullock (47), Diane Lane (46), Sigourney Weaver (62), Jamie Lee Curtis (53) and Susan Sarandon (65). There are a ton of gorgeous, awesome actresses over 40. 40 today is much more vibrant then it was in the past.

It can't be Bai Ling, since she grew up in China. And no matter how insane she acts, I can't do anything but pity her after hearing what she went through.
--------------------
Ditto. I can't bring myself to think anything bad about her. That shit was horrifying, and her behavior explains so much in retrospect. People act cray for attention all the time but ..ugh i don't know, now i'm sad =(

Maybe we should be thinking South Asian.
Freida Pinto? She seems like the type of cunt who'll pull some shit like this.
ETA: "Tila Tequila" is a stupidised stage name, not an Americanised one, and she is not an actress.
1. is def Tila Tequila. I can't think of any other major Asian-American "actress" who comes from Texas. Most come from California, New York or Hawaii. And yes, that includes Central Asia.
It can't be Bai Ling, since she grew up in China. And no matter how insane she acts, I can't do anything but pity her after hearing what she went through.
What's up with the judgemental tone of 2.? It reads like it was written by another self-important actor, since the little common people are daring to condemn faking sex in front of your kids.
"Part of that world"? CHILDREN should be kept away from that world until they're old enough to make their own decisions, you dumb shit.

I'm here to kick ass and drink tea. And I'm all out of tea.
Yeah okay. I hope the judge throws that shit out and countersues whoever this actress is (Beyonce?) for having wasted his time on frivolous bullshit. wtf!

I wake up in the morning and I piss excellence.
"huffing and tutting" wtf??? I don't think anyone is worth huffing and tutting over esp. Fishsticks...sounds like Fishsticks....and def. not worth seeing...I would rather watch paint peel thanks anyhow.
two names ...Melissa Leo and Helen Mirren...both WWAAYY over 40, both working like crazy in Hollyweird and both getting awards and roles like there is no tomorrow...I think all that youth obsession is just that...an obsession...I for one cannot STAND young Hollyweird...and cannot and will not watch anything with any young female or male...cannot stomach the Twihard kids..yech..bland and too perfect looking, cannot stomach ANY 20 year old-ish actress unless it is Ellen Page, and cannot stomach...most thirty something actresses either cause they are unbelievable. So fuck it heina, embrace your age...the numbers are going to keep coming as long as you are alive...I gave up trying to fight age cause age will always win....anyhow, youth fades, character lasts...that is the end of my rant....and for my money I only see movies with GREAT OLDER ACTORS AND ACTRESSES...give me a Robert Duvall, Helen Mirren, Bruce Willis, any of the above any day of the week over a fucking Twihard Twit!!
i bet money that #1 is Tila Tequila. She's from texas and looks closer to 40 than the 25 or whatever it is she claims she is
1. Don't know and don't care about the first - you can Google anything these days so suing imdb for posting her age is ridiculous and frivolous.
2. Highly doubt it's Goopy. Jen Aniston and her favorite stuffed animals? They're her children too!!!
Well aren't you just carrying around a big bag of nothing!
"And the other part, well, it’s worth huffing and tutting over in real life, for civilians, because that’s simply not part of that world."
What world? Who wrote this crap? I'm sure children have seen it all in their own home. I don't even see anything wrong with children being on set during such a scene. It teaches them that it really is all make beleive and that the boogie monster don't exist.
Besides, when the movie comes out, they would see mommy kissing not the daddy anyway
#1 Lindsay Price maybe? She still tries to play "late 20 something" love interest, also she had that eye-widening surgery and trying to appear younger and trying to appear whiter go hand in hand. Lucy Lui and Bai Ling both play women their own age.

No idea why walking in front of your kids in underwear is such a shocking thing. It also doesn't say how old the kids are...hmmm...
--------------------------------------------
Thats not the gross bit! The gross bit is the sex scenes, and that is a wrong un no matter is your kids are 35. You're their mama, they can see your grundies but not you pulling an O face, fake or not.

anyway re: #1...if she's pushing 40 now, that implies that she's spent at least 20 years pursuing this hollywood it girl staaaah thing. the thing is, if it didn't happen by the time you were 25, it probably ain't gonna happen. that's right, 25. find me an it girl who became an it girl older than 25. exactly.
so...why are you taking your frustrations out on imdb? pretty sure imdb isn't to blame for your lack of talent and/or dick sucking prowess, which resulted in you still being "up and coming" almost 15 years past your prime.
I mean, now you look like old, over-the-hill AND a complainer and sue-happy. one would be hard-pressed to find a more dick-collapsing personality type.
sit your wishes-you-were-the-star-of-Singled-Out-back-in-95 ass down, vieja.
If the Texas/Asian thing weren't in there, I would guess Fergie for #1. She is about a decade older than she says.
I can't with either of these blinds. Fuckery, just pure fuckery.
Kudos on the FNL shoutout tho, MK!

Lucy Liu for #1?
It really does not sound like her though...
********************************
My beloved Lucy Liu lives in New York.
Maybe we should be thinking South Asian.
uh, wtf was that last line in Lainey's blind O_o
and of course, my civilian ass thinks that's the grossest thing I've ever heard, but technically, this is her job. I'm sure the hos on the stroll have their kids hold their purses while they pay for the kids' college edu...er...future bail money.
2nd item is gross- don't believe Gwyneth would ever do that, she's way too uptight. Smells like Angie Jo's fuckery to me.

It can't be Tila because her modus operandi is to threaten to sue but never actually do it. She said she was going after the Juggalos over and over and never did. She doesn't have two pennies to rub together and couldn't afford to sue anyone. I don't think anyone really cares how old she is anyway - her "fans" believe whatever she tells them and everyone else knows she's a dried up piece of jerky.
I haven't got a clue who it could be - I don't know of any Asian/Vietnamese-American actresses who appear to be in their late 20s-30s.
MKs guess for the second one is as good as any. The only other actresses I can think of with a couple of little kids right now are SJP and any love scene she'd film would scar those kids for life and Jennifer Garner and she'd put them to sleep.
gwyneth would NEVER do something so declasse.
One is sounds like Tila Tequila. She's originally from Texas. But not sure if she's pushing 40
Sincerely,
Alana Smithee
Everything in me is screaming Tila Tequila, but her imdb page says she was born in 1981.
#2 isn't that weird. It was Susan Sarandon and her children are in their 50s.

Its totally stupid since her bio is available anyway on the internet, why sue Amazon for that, how moron can she be? She should sue Wikipedia, Google, Yahoo... Too much pointless fuck may have affected her brain or whatever she has instead of it.
