Blind Items: I Guess, You Guess

A youngish film actress we all know did a bit of furniture shopping over the weekend. She was in several high end stores – accompanied by a designer – focused specifically on purchasing a pair of modern sofas in the $10,000 and up range. She found a style she liked, chose a leather fabric from among the swatches, and was told that it would be ready in several months. The star said that the time frame was ridiculous, and wanted the custom pieces in her home within a week. The sales person – and her designer – very patiently and professionally explained the process of ordering, producing and shipping custom furniture, but the star persisted in her demands. At one point, she even asked them to give her the sofas for free. Her logic? “Everyone else gives me things for free”, and because “a lot of famous asses will be sitting on them.” She is one of them. (Blind Gossip)

My cunt instinct says the one and only Katherine Hagel?! I don't know if she's "youngish," but she is a shameless bitch, so she works!

This comes from a story several years ago. It has to do with a Tom Hanks movie that didn't receive the rave reviews that were expected. The original script featured a strong female character. Someone famous, involved in the production of the movie demanded that the ‘bitch' be taken out of the script because he didn't want any strong females in this film. The women in it had to be beautiful, secondary and not very smart. So, the script was changed and in our opinion, the movie isn't that great, even though it has the fabulous Mr. Hanks in it. The person throwing the female fit was not Tom Hanks. He's a stand up guy by all recollections. Guess the movie and the misogynist? (BuzzFoto via Gawker)

Turner & Hooch? I always thought Hooch should've had a cooch. But my real guesses are Road to Perdition, The Terminal or Bonfire of the Vanities?

This foreign born C list movie actress was rumored to be in a relationship with this B+/A- list movie actor. The rumors were true but the relationship is having its problems. Not because they don't like each other because they are crazy about each other. It is just that our actor has had some problems in the past with substance abuse and is trying to stay clean and the actress is in a full on do drugs whenever you can time in her life and is causing some real issues between the two. In fact, over the last few weeks our actress has been doing more than usual and looks like death warmed over according to someone who saw her at a press event. (CDAN)

This one, I have no idea. But the commenters over at CDAN seem to be pointing at Shia LaDouche and Carey Mulligan?

Which British diva has had so much plastic surgery she finds it almost impossible to talk? At a recent ‘do’, a mole tried to have a conversation with her but left halfway through as it was like talking to Shane McGowan with 500 tic tacs in his gob. (Holy Moly!)

Shirley Bassey? Joan Collins? Pete Burns? If it's any of them, they don't need to talk. They just need to stand there and be glamorous.

I reckon the Tom Hanks one refers to "The Bonfire of the Vanities". De Palma tried to dumb it down and make it more commercial - he changed other characters too. I don't know if that's necessarily misogynistic, but it certainly goes to show that pissing all over a script to please the dumbest of audiences doesn't work. (Bruce Willis? Puh-lease) The movie was a flop, critically and commercially.

Funny I am watching Bleak House now (the excellent British version) which Carey Mulligan is in. It's hard to believe she is a druggie. I love her in this movie and sure enough I popped on dlisted to catch up and I see this shit about her. Wow! Shia La Douche is not suprising. My two cents for today.

But Charlie Wilson's war did have a smart bitch--Julia Roberts' character. And while it was hilariously inaccurate, historically, it was a good movie. I assumed it tanked (by Hanks/Roberts standards) because we were watching so many Middle East wars on TV, free. Why pay $10 for more of the same?

I second the guess that the sexist asshole in #2 is Aaron Sorkin in "Charlie Wilson's War". He's a freakin genius on The West Wing in season 1 and 2 before the cokey problem got to him. Remember how he underdeveloped Moira Kelly's "Mandy" in season 1 and axed her with no explanation whatsoever in season 2?

Couple #3 seemed like LaDouche and C. Mulligan although the thought of LaDouche being an A list scares the batshit out of me. My other guess would be Kate Bosworth and Orlando Bloom (but not sure that Orly is EVER in the A list), or ... DAMN WHICH ACTOR IS CONSIDERED A-LIST ANYWAY? *throws hands in the air*

I hope it's not Carey Mulligan. She seems like she can really act. If it is her, it won't end well for young LeBeef.

#2 The Tom Hanks movie...

Charlie Wilson's War.

The asshole either being Mike Nichols the director or Aaron Sorkin the writer.

It was suppose to be "The Christmas movie to see 2007" but I don't believe it did the business everyone had expected.

(I did see it... and I liked it.)

The rabbit scares me...it's giving me Holy Grail flashbacks!
"Quick, the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch!"

#2 is not DaVinci Code because the woman wasn't strong in the book, a very minor character actually. Besides, the movie was a hit and Ron Howard is not a woman hater. I'm thinking "Terminal" because CatZJones' role was very minor and she was a big star at the time. (I think she had just done "Chicago.")

#1 is Megan Fox because she thinks she's a star. This incident probably took place before "Jennifer's Body" bombed!!

I agree #3 is Shia and that Carey person. I saw a pic of her in drag and she looked awful!!

#4 is most likely Shirley Bassey!! I saw an interview with her on CNN International one night when she was being honored for something and I couldn't understand a word the woman said and her face looked like a thousand rubber bands were pulling it back!!

#1 was Julie benz from Dexter. She mentioned on her twitter going furniture shopping this past weekend

OK, but who tweets the rumours to MK? Are these things Paris tells him about when they go to society girl parties together?

ollol the sources are right next to each blind item. MK doesn't go to society girl parties, he's too busy sucking dicks in the gutter.

I wish there were answers to these blind items, somewhere. They drive me nutters.

Bonfire of the Vanities. Bruce Willis, Melanie Griffith and Tom Hanks. Brucie is a woman hater from way back. Ask Cybil(although she could definetly hold her own against him).

I don't get these "Blind Items".
What is to say that any of this is true?
Where does this information come from?
Someone please explain this to me!
--------------------------------------------------

It's typically reliable rumors that people can't publish with the accused names otherwise they'd get sued or some shit.

"Someone famous, involved in the production of the movie demanded that the ‘bitch' be taken out of the script because he didn't want any strong females in this film. The women in it had to be beautiful, secondary and not very smart."

The two male famous producer/directors I can think of who work often with Hanks is Ron Howard or Steven Spielberg.

I think it would have to be people this famous for it to be worth a blind.

But I am only guessing.

#2 is Castaway, and Wilson didn't want no bitch stealing his thunder.

Carey Mulligan is definitely not C-list.
Oscar nom is locked, win is possible and everyone wants to work with her.

#1: Gwyneth Paltrow. Wasn't she recently rennovating her home with Chris Martin and adding on a whole new "wing"?

#2: "That Thing You Do" was a bad Tom Hanks movie, and Liv Tyler was the lead lady. Nuff said.

#3: No clue

#4: Sharon Osbourne? I love her, but there has been a lot of work done there...

#2 - The Terminal.

Whoever #1 is is a total stupid cunt.

#3 - I have no clue.

Holy Moly could just say, "Like talking to Shane McGowan," and leave it at that.

The first one sounds like Megan Fox. And I'd say the last one was Madonna, but she's dropped her British accent and has become American again.

loozer, I couldn't agree more. Maybe it was the way we were raised? I can honestly say that if I struck it big on the lottery or fell into a vat of money, I'd still be shopping for bargains. Money does not buy class, no matter how many "famous asses" are involved.

Waiting "several months" for a sofa does seem excessive. For 10K plus they should be able to cover it and ship it. I guess they are doing it in a 3rd world country and sending it by boat.

That bunny's got terrifying chompers.

The second blind is really intriguing to me. It's shocking (although not surprising) that someone who hates women could be a major-up in the movie business.

The Da Vinci Code wasn't a good movie, but it had a lead female character who was supposed to be smart and resourceful (getting Hank's character out of tight situations and all that). Were there any women at all in Road to Perdition?

Whoever #1 is, she's a dumbass. Who pays $10,000 for a sofa?

I agree. When I hear of people paying outrageous amounts for clothes, furniture and the like it irks me. Just because you have lots of money doesn't mean you have to waste it. Not that I have ever had the problem of too much money.
