Crazy Days and Nights
--Do you remember the blind item:
Crazy Days and Nights
About the pap who was staking outa house looking for one special photo? Well there have been some developments. First, the boyfriend and girlfriend have married. I ran into the pap's assistant the other day and he said that about 5 or 6weeks ago, the now wife left for a few days and the pap got the shot he wanted. It took him months of waiting but he got the money shot. He tried to sell it to a US magazine and they did not want to touch it. He then went to a UK magazine and they offered him a tremendous amount of money, but not the kind of money that makes up for months of waiting. So, using the UK offer as leverage he decided to offer the photo for sale to the husband. They have discussed a price but nothing finalized yet. If the sale does not go final, then UK it is.

--Do you remember this blind item from a few months ago?
Crazy Days and Nights
One of my favorite actresses is finding that the road to seriousness is tough when you are not serious yourself. This actress who has been in A-List movies and has had an A list career without the payoff has begun to try her hand at producing. The only problem is that during her latest film she spent more time in the bathroom doing lines of coke then remembering the lines in her part. In the last few months she had assured everyone that she was clean and sober and an angel all over again. Two years ago her career almost came crashing to a halt because no one would hire her. She cleaned up and has been working and had more in the works. But just like her last few relationships, the projects are disappearing fast. She has always been gorgeous and talented, but because of the drugs and booze always one step away from becoming an acting footnote. ***Update***She has basically sold herself out to the highest bidder now. Found a rich guy and let him be the financial backer for her producing and all of her living expenses and in return she will be his actress girlfriend that can still make the pap follow her sometimes.

--In a similar vein these two actresses are competing to be the new trophy girlfriend of this aging tycoon. He is always seen in the company of beautiful women because it is a part of his job. Always willing to provide favors for those women who are nice to him, he provides special favors to the actress who pleases him most. He had a long-term "situation" recently end. He has two women competing for the role of trophy. One is an 80's teen actress who shared the screen with some pretty women. The other is an exotic actress we have come to love; at least in the gossip world.

[Chilly Willy]

Huh? I don't get any of them? Am I too drunk?

[Mira]

I'll take a stab and say

#1 Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams because of the rumored marriage recently. Probably photos of Heath cheating with a guy (or possibly girl).

#2 Lindsay Lohan and Joe Francis.

#3
A: Aging Tycoon: no clue
B: 80's teen actress: no clue
C: exotic actress loved in the gossip world: no clue

[Sassiness]

Nah, #1 is about domestic violence (follow the link to the older BI and read it - it makes it clear that the money shot in question is clear evidence of bruising, coupled with his grainer, long distance shots of teh violence being perpetrated)

Don't think #2 would be Lilo - sounds someone older. I don't think it's Drew Barrymore with that update (as she was a popular guess in the thread about the original BI)

[Mira]

^Well, how about Salma Hayek then, for #2? I'm kind of grasping at straws here, out of boredom. Hell, I know it's not her! And for #1, how about Uma Thurman. Totally grasping at straws? Naahhh

OK I deigned to saunter over to the blog... somebody said it's Sean Penn. They've been married for many years, including before they moved to Main County, which by the way, their house is VERY visible from the road, directly across from the Police and Fire station, which is the way she wanted it for the kids.... so I don't believe at all that this couple in #1 is the Penns.

Though I don't doubt that Sean Penn is violent, and they may divorce soon since she may have finally had enough. Doubt it though. Call MAWS Robin!! (Marin Abused Women's Services) They are within 3 miles!!

[Laurent]

I'm going to say #1 is Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes and here's why.

1. Boyfriend/girlfriend situation in Nov. that have since married. This would fit Tom and Katie to a T.
2. Boyfriend/husband is A-list, while girlfriend/wife is not. Tom is inexplicably considered A-list, Katie is not.
3. Girlfriend/wife hard to catch outside home. Tom and Katie live in what has been described as "a compound" and besides events where she's either got a $carentology handler or Victoria Beckham with her, she's rarely seen.
4. This is my personal opinion, but Tom strikes me as a controlling asshole and I could believe this about him. Easily.

I think #2 is Sharon Stone. She had all the makings of an A-list career, but somehow it was never quite there. And she always seems a little batty, like she's hopped up on something.

[Mira]

Hi Laurent,

I just updated while you posted. Yes, SS is a very good guess. But is Christian Slater rich or is it someone else?

[roslyntaberfan]

This is really hard! For #3 I could only think of Hugh Hefner, Donald Trump or Peter Stringfellow....but I know it's not them...aggh its gonna bug me!!!!

[DitaPage*]

#1 is juicy! I wonder if it is Tom, they are married now, and katie doesn't leave the 'compound' much.

[Laurent]

Hi Laurent,

I just updated while you posted. Yes, SS is a very good guess. But is Christian Slater rich or is it someone else?

Is she still dating Christian Slater? Was she ever really dating him in the first place or was that a rumor?

I had the hots for him back in the early 90's, I'd hate to think he's dating her scraggly ass.

Then again, I think he's been arrested half a dozen times for various and sundry offenses.

[SweetPea]

The girlfriend rarely leaves the house which makes it tough to follow her and see if there are marks or to confront her..She is not really in the public eye and so sometimes that can be problematic as well..He hired an assistant to follow the girl if she does leave, but she does not seem to leave until at least two days after a fight which would bolster the theory that she has been hit.

He wants her to leave because he knows that when she is gone, then his payoff pics will happen.

This girl doesn't sound like a celebrity. I think this A-List man has a man.

[Mira]

Hi everybody, well Laurent I spent some time reading all the comments on ENTL and I have to say I think it's SS but we don't know who the mogul is - yet, but you're right, I seriously doubt it's Christian Slater, that was for publicity no doubt. She's such a horny skank I hate that Craig Ferguson probably did her, I thought he was more controlled than that lol.

Anyway, everybody over there thinks it's Cruise. I don't know. I'm finding these blinds more obscure and complicated than they seem.

[Novice]

I like your guess for number 1. I had thought that she mustn't work if she doesn't leave the house for a couple of days.
I know that TC's dad was controlling but was he violent too? If so, it might be coz learned behaviour gets passed on.
The thing that bothers me about this is that he has other family members living with him. You would have thought that his mum would've learnt since she left his dad - & that is what my doubts are based on. I think its someone else, but I'll have to get back to you with names....

[Mira]

^That's why I don't think it TC and KH.

[Laurent]

It may not be TC and KH, but I don't think TC's mom and sister are above covering for him, if need be.

They seem like a loony, dyfunctional, but loyal lot.
