How He Holds Her

Opportunity knocks but the past also drags. She has much to look forward to, and big shoes to fill, but the work is steady and only getting steadier and being attached to highly anticipated projects never hurts either.

Only slight problem… the man in her life isn’t exactly supportive. Part jealousy, part insecurity, and he knows how to hold her, even though she’d much rather, personally and professionally, be rid of the baggage.

Unfortunately he is unscrupulously forcing her to love him by good old fashioned blackmail. Because somehow she found herself in a delicate situation not too long ago and decided not to join the 08/08/08 sweepstakes. When she took care of it without his blessing, he hit the roof, and threatened to go public. She and her management have placated him for now.

But it’s the kind of scandal that would not sit well with the MiniVan Majority.

And so she’s waiting it out. Waiting for the right time to cut him loose, while he keeps pressing to make their commitment more permanent.

How He Holds Her

Anne Hathaway?

Yes. "big shoes to fill".

cmmdee · March 25th, 2008, 01:44 PM

^^ What do you mean by that?

YiYi · March 25th, 2008, 01:44 PM

Anne Hathaway is an excellent guess.

I remember at the end of "The Devil Wears Prada", Emily's character tells the new assistant that she has some 'big shoes to fill'.

Anne sounds right. But why would having an abortion be a problem? The Minivan majority know that. Some of them have even had them. I fail to see how that's blackmail fodder.

Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green?

Meg1884 · March 25th, 2008, 02:17 PM

Since Lainey is referring to the Minivan majority it has to be someone that is well known. Is Anne Hathaway or Megan Fox big enough for soccer moms to know them? I know Megan Fox isn't but I don't know about Anne.

My first thought was Jennifer Garner, but I doubt Ben is wanting her to commit.

My second thought is Gwyneth but I'm thinking the couple is not married yet?

Back to the think tank.......

Hmm... the blackmail could be the lezbot rumors about Anne.

Lainey posted this about her on 3/14:

Best Squirrel in Purple

Quite possibly the best Anne Hathaway ever. LOOOVE this dress. If it’s actually Marchesa I’ll be suitably impressed. She looks lovely in purple, non? And the hair and the styling, all first class. All keeping the squirrel features squirrel features at bay, though I’m not mad about the bedazzling of the shoes. Do you like shoe bedazzling? I always think it looks… old.

Anne has been tight with Georgina Chapman and Harvey Weinstein lately. Word around town is that she’s his new favourite, having tried and failed with Sienna and the Alba Bitch. There is however some consternation about their growing affection, particularly because Harvey and her entrepreneurial and allegedly questionably ethical boyfriend Raffaelo Follieri have supposedly been thick as thieves. Rumour has it, some on Anne’s team don’t want her to get caught as a pawn in a business deal that ends up going sour.

Dark, dirty, sinister smut.

You think Washington is corrupt? Hollywood can run circles around Capitol Hill. But it always confounds me… why people are so willing to believe that politicians are scoundrels but have such a hard time accepting that actors and celebrities are conniving and manipulative and just as dishonest even though they actually ACT for a living, working and surviving and thriving in a town that’s as depraved and as amoral as they come.

Funny that.

I have no idea who Megan Fox is and I'm "minivan majority" LOL.

What about Evangeline Lily from Lost? Any big things coming her way?

cmmdee · March 25th, 2008, 03:18 PM

^^ Megan Fox is that super hot chick from Transformers who dates Brian Austin Green from 90210:

I don't think it can be Gwyneth or Jennifer Garner since Lainey said he is looking for more of a commitment which I'm taking means getting married. They are both married already.

Dixie Normos · March 25th, 2008, 03:38 PM

How about Kate Hudson? She looked preggers at one point...and now, not so much.
Also, her 'rents are famous...big shoes to fill.

Meg1884 · March 25th, 2008, 03:52 PM

Yeah but who is she with that wants a commitment? Owen? They really seem into eachother and this girl Lainey is referring to is just waiting it out to leave.

Maybe the blackmail was emo in nature as well, suicide attempt?
