Hmmm?: Blind Item Speculation

[proserpina65]

 

I don't watch either, but TVLine is pretty good about announcing the blind item reveal.  It was Michael Raymond-James.

Who?  Like I said, stopped watching after season one.

[Demented Daisy]

Like I said, I never watched.  So I have no idea who he played -- even though it's right there in the article.

[DeLurker]

He's Neal - Henry's dad and Rumples' son

[proserpina65]

He's Neal - Henry's dad and Rumples' son

Thanks.  For some reason I couldn't get the link to load.  Obviously Neal showed up at some point after I stopped watching.

[dargosmydaddy]

 

 

I'm hoping it isn't Matt Casey.

Jesse Spencer hurt himself and he now has a herniated disc in his back, so I could see it being him, though I'm hoping not.

 

I wish it was, if it meant that Jesse Spencer could move on to something better (sorry to hear about his back, though).

[Trini]

Kinda like many blind items in one?: TV Line's May Sweeps Scorecard 2016. -- This is about storylines, not actors or behind-the-scenes drama. It may be worth checking out last year's list to see what counted for each category.

 

(If this is considered outside the scope of this thread, let me know and I'll delete or ask a mod to remove it.)

New blind item!  Big 5 Drama Series to Kill Off Lead in Season Finale.

 

We have the answer to this one.  Huge spoiler, of course, so click at your own risk.

 NO, NO, NO. FUCK NO!!!  I do not accept this. The Powers that be need to go back and figure out whatever they fucked up and beg this person to come back. Seriously, When one watches a show for two reasons (more on the girl side  than the boy side) and one half of that two is removed due to the trite "I've done all I can do" tripe, I call bullshit. This is a great show, I love the characters, past and present, and would love particular ones to come back. I love that it is an ensemble show with two main  nonsexual leads. And the ensemble is relevant and useful to the story as a whole. TPTB need to figure out how to get her back. 

[Minneapple]

I don't even watch that show anymore and it upset me greatly when I saw the spoiler on twitter last night. Plus the way they did it made it seem so half-assed.

[ABay]

The eiditing gelt weird, like it was supposed to be a 90 minute episode, or a dream. But if that was the series finale, I'm OK with it. If the show is renewed, not so much.

[Haleth]

I quit watching Sleepy Hollow last season but this makes no sense to me.  What's the point of a season 4 unless it's a bait and switch?

$$$$$$$$$

 

From what I've read, that seems to be the only concern left for that show. Same reason that shows like Bones and Castle are still on the air. They lost any pretence of being creative and entertaining a long time a go.

This Sunday’s Golden Globe Awards are a bit unique in that it’s like a large dinner party. Unlike the Oscars or the Emmys, attendees don’t sit in theater-like seating. They sit at large banquet tables, eat dinner, and drink during the ceremony.

Both of these actors are nominated for Golden Globe Awards. One doesn’t like the other. When he heard that the other might be seated at the table next to his, he asked his team to move the other actor.

It’s actually a complicated request, because actors are seated in teams associated with their film or TV show. Therefore, the entire table of people would have to be moved.

His team suggested that they get seated back-to-back so he wouldn’t have the other actor in his line of sight… but that means that they would then be inches apart instead of feet apart!

We don’t know what the end result will be. However, you probably want to know why he wants the other actor moved, don’t you? Here you go:

[The Other Actor] once f*cked his wife.

It’s unclear if that little event took place took place before or after our actor married her.

This former A list singer turned reality judge turned reality host turned celebrity had to be stopped from picking up her children from school while drunk.

Quote

This celebrity offspring of a permanent A list mostly movie actress is still underage but he uses mom’s credit card all the time to pay for strippers and escorts. 

Quote

This former A list mostly television actor from a hit long running network show who bailed on that for lesser stardom attends three to four AA meetings a day. Good for him.

Quote

This married former boy bander from back in the day is not only on drugs again, he also got two different women pregnant in the past few months. One of them he managed to convince to get an abortion. No word on the other woman and the status of her pregnancy

Quote

Don’t believe the hype. This multiple Oscar winner/nominee not named Nicole Kidman who also talks crap about the same thing by the way, gets many treatments done to her to stop aging or at least slow it down. Needles and creams and multiple doctor office visits are the norm.

Quote

This A- list mostly television actor who is on a long running pay cable show as well as on what seems like every show on a different pay cable network is trying to juggle the woman he was seeing when he split with his actress ex and now another woman who neither the ex or the other girlfriend know anything about.

Do they actually mean "host"? Mel B is a judge on America's Got Talent, & Christina was a mentor (not sure what they're called, I don't watch) on The Voice, but I don't know if I would call either one a "host". When I think of a host, I think of someone like Cat Deeley on So You Think You Can Dance or Ryan Seacrest on American Idol.

Yes it mentions host in addition to judge. Mel B has been a host or to use the British terminology a presenter on a variety of shows and co-host ed Dancing with the Stars Australia.

I totally thought it was Julianne Moore because she's said botox and plastic surgery are akin to foot binding, but has occasionally slipped and said that she starves herself during awards season to fit into dresses.

Ooh, Julianne Moore is a good one. She is oohed and awwed over her youthful looks and she doesn't admit to any kind of intervention. She's also a multiple Oscar nominee, but she's only won once.

The boybander? Probably Nick Carter. My god, that family is cursed.

I immediately thought of Nick Carter. That family is a disaster magnet, but I think Lou Pearlman's likely molestation of Nick and maybe Aaron helped put them on the path to ruin.

Some fresh grist for the mill:

 

Quote

In her older years, this permanent A list mostly movie actress who is an Academy Award winner seems to be letting her racist impulses get the best of her. A decade ago, no one would have suspected she was racist.

 

 

Quote

Like most of the world, The Gossip Life is Harvey Weinstein obsessed at the moment and we’ve been told of emails and memos that are reportedly being sent around by publicists/agents to their clients, advising them on how they should handle the scandal bringing Hollywood to its knees and causing widespread panic for executives and stars. Most are wise enough to listen. One A list actress is adamant that she will not be issuing a statement or responding at all. She doesn’t feel as if any good can come from her talking about the situation and she wants to stay loyal to Weinstein, who she feels like she owes for a large part of her success. So, tell me, Gossipers: Who is our adamant A lister? PS: It’s not who you think it is.

Quote

 

Why yes, that was a married host from a shopping channel based on the northeast who works mainly on makeup sales at a BDSM club getting whipped with a cane while strapped to a post. The spy said the host was not wearing her wedding ring, but had never seen her husband so doesn't know if it was her husband or not. I guess we will find out once he reads this post.

Which US rapper was convinced that, as well as performing his own set at Bestival, he was going to be guest-appearing on stage with Dizzee Rascal? He turned up backstage when Dizzee was performing, ready to bounce on stage, but security wouldn't let him go on. Feeling extremely miffed, he went back to his dressing room – and smashed it up...

 

 

 

To end this on a good note:

I am not saying it's either of them but I know of a few different  families where one or both of the parents are racist but have adopted non-white children. People can be weirdly compartmentalized.

[Bwill3133]

No doubt about that.  I know that’s true. 

[Dejana]

"In her older years" makes me think of a different age bracket than Sandra or Charlize.

I don't think I've ever seen a blind item about a home shopping network host before. I guess they are as well known as some reality show stars or game show hosts, though, so why not? 

The Weinstein revelations have been interesting from a blind item perspective because there have been casting couch rumors surrounding him for years, though in the gossip world, the talk was presented as titillating rather than terrifying. Also, he would use planted items and reports to retaliate against actresses who refused/resisted him. The whole story has just reinforced my feelings about blind items, which is to treat them with interest but skepticism about their tone and specific motivation for existing (does the item make its subject look good or bad, is it a real story that can't go on the record just yet, does the writer show a general bias for/against the presumed subject, etc.).

Reese Witherspoon.

[Quof]

That I can believe.

[Snow Apple]

Reese was my first thought as well. 

[Calvada]

I agree with Dejana, I don't think of Reese Witherspoons, Charlize Theron, Julianne Moore, or Sandra Bullock as being "in her older years."  Perhaps that's because only one of them is older than me!

I'll go with Susan Sarandon.

When Debra Messing brought up racial concerns in their Twitter feud, Sarandon's response would be to tweet about the Dakota Access Pipeline. I can believe it's her.

Same here. 

[GaT]

I'm thinking Jane Fonda

[Ohwell]

The thing that's throwing me off is the "mostly movie" thing, suggesting she's also done television or stage.  For example, Jane Fonda sounds plausible but has she ever done anything other than movies?

[Irlandesa]

Even though I hate blind items because of how hush hush and problematic they can be (see: how Weinstein used them), I'll go ahead and be a hypocrite anyway.  I lean towards Sarandon too.  Fonda is still making interesting points about race, as recently as the Weinstein scandal.  Now, she could be two-faced in her progressive talk vs. her behavior but I'd tend to go with someone who is less confident or aware of the concerns related to intersectionality.

She did have her comments about Holocaust victims and karma, but I still feel like this might be Sarandon given how tone deaf she's been about race in the past couple of years.
