Crazy Days and Nights
#1 This Academy Award nominee for Best Supporting Actress is homeless. Sort of. She bought a house about six months ago and used up all her savings on the down payment. On her very first night there she woke up when she heard loud banging from all throughout the house. Needless to say she was freaked out and went to a friend's house for the rest of the night. Since that night, she hasn't been back, has been unable to sell the house and doesn't have enough money for a hotel room each night of the kind to which she's accustomed. Therefore she's been crashing at different people's homes and taking any job she can find so she can stay in a hotel and have them pay for it.

#2 This B list television/film actress with A list name recognition recently posed nude for a men's magazine. She told her friends and family in advance so they wouldn't be shocked when they heard from someone else. It was something unexpected and it took all her courage to do the shoot and to tell her family. Well, it turns out the shoot turned out so bad that the magazine isn't going to use it all. Even with the wonders of photoshopping her face just didn't seem in sync with her body. The magazine did consider adding her face to a different body, but then would have had to put back in a very famous mark the actress has on her body. It was too much effort, so they gave up. The actress is crushed because everyone knows she posed naked and now she is telling them that she changed her mind and decided not to go through with it rather than the truth.

#1: WTH? Is the house haunted?

#2: famous mark=tattoo? Everyone in Hollywood has ink.

Hmmm, think, think...

Courteney Cox for 2? She has some tattoo, i remember reading about it.

Jennifer Hudson? Doubt it though, as she hasn't taken loads of jobs. I suck at these.

MissVenus · August 23rd, 2007, 11:39 PM

#1 - Kate Hudson? Chloe Sevigny? Minnie Driver?

nycgirly101 · August 23rd, 2007, 11:46 PM

1. Rinko Kikuchi?
2. Kelly Osbourne? Maybe not, I'm guessing in sync is a clue. Jessica Biel perhaps?

MissVenus · August 23rd, 2007, 11:47 PM

Winona Ryder? Uma Thurman? Juliette Lewis?

I don't know what's wrong with me, I don't get either of them.

#1 Means the house was haunted? Broken into?

# 2 where does it say she had a tattoo?

And this isn't even Ted's secret language!!!

Beeyotch · August 24th, 2007, 01:04 AM

Chilly, yes I think #1 means the house is haunted. #2 didn't specifically say tattoo, just "famous mark" which could be interpreted as a tattoo but could also be a birthmark, mole, scar or something else which the public knows about.

Also, these might sound like b.s. because I don't trust this guy at all to write good, accurate BI's. His definition for A-list and B-list is all over the place, and some of his items sound made up. Mostly though I don't think he's a good writer and his items can be worded in a way that makes them confusing. And not on purpose either, just badly worded.

That said, I got nothing. Maybe Alyssa Milano for #2, but what mark would she have? It does seem likely that the mark=tattoo because it would be difficult to photoshop a tattoo and make it look realistic.

Chilly Willy · August 24th, 2007, 01:58 AM

Phew, thanks, Beeyotch.

Is he trying to improve his credibility by being less comprehensible? He aint't foolin' us, that's fo' sho'!

What other marks are there? Scar (c-section?), birthmark, third nipple, tail.

mag · August 24th, 2007, 05:25 AM

I do hope it is a tail!

SweetPea · August 24th, 2007, 11:59 AM

#2 has got to be Jessica Biel because of the in sync remark like nycgirly said.

Even with the wonders of photoshopping her face just didn't seem in sync with her body.

NoLifeLucy · August 24th, 2007, 12:42 PM

if you look at pictures she looks funny (J Beil)

Calimoonchild · August 24th, 2007, 08:28 PM

I'm calling BULLSHIT on #2. I just worked w/ a model on a swimsuit shoot, and she had a 6x6 inch tattoo on her calf, and another one on her waist.

Yet the makeup-artist covered that shit well, and the photog was able to blend it in Photoshop. You'd never know she has tattoos.

And this wasn't even a big-budget deal. For a mens mag, you better believe they can do that and much more. There really isn't anything they CANT Photoshop out.

Hmmm.... I guess if she was just not fitting her body anyway, they wouldnt want to try. It could be Christina Ricci:
CHRISTINA RICCI TATTOO PICS

Maybe its someone who had a really bad tummy tuck, or who had gastric bypass and then had surgery to remove all the skin? Thats all i can think of that would be gnarly to even attempt to fix...

1) Amy Adams or Laura Linney
2) "very famous mark" made me think of Angelina and that dragon tattoo, but she doesn't fit any of the other clues. I can't think of anyone else with a notable tattoo or "mark," but I'm going to say either Eva Longoria (big-ass Celtic cross tattoo) or Nicole Richie (wings on her back)
