Lainey Blind Item 7/24/08 - Bug Haired & Bug Eyed

[Belindagogo]

Which actor has been much too egotistical and much too energetic on press tour recently? Let’s start with the ego first:

He’s not exactly Brad Pitt or the GMD on fame terms and still he travels with a crazy security team and insists on sweeping every location before he will enter. Who the f&ck are you??? Even his own management is snickering at his grossly exaggerated sense of entitlement – hit movies don’t necessarily equate to international superstardom, and while his box office might be lucrative, his celebrity status is decidedly modest.

Still…he insists on super stealth, secret service style maneuvers, and has hilariously mandated that while in public he be referred to by “code name” only. It becomes even funnier when the newly single megalomaniac happens upon an attractive woman. The woman is hustled through stairwells and hallways before their tryst – a procedure so elaborate that last week, his chosen partner for the evening ended up so rattled by the time she arrived at his room, she was no longer in the mood to participate.

And his paranoia is getting worse. It started out as a quirk - several weeks ago he was enthusiastic and perhaps a little particular, but not a paranoid freak. A little blow here and there for extra energy though has become more of a habit and he is getting CRANKED at work. To the point where more than a few journalists have remarked about his over-animated behaviour, as a timid reporter from Asia was frightened and confused during an interview when he became angry at her for refusing to sing karaoke with him. Sorry…I’m a bitch. I had to laugh about that.

Be thankful, dude, for a good publicity team. And for the fact that at the end of the day, it’s really only you.

Hmm... Aaron Eckhard? Cilian Murphy?
I'm lost on this one...who has recently become single in Hweird?

[ehanc]

David Duchovny?

[LynnieD]

Alright, I truly have no clue on this one.

The only person that sorta crept into my mind is Vince Vaughn. He has bug eyes and bizarre hair. Though I wouldn't call him 'newly single', and I wonder if he's even into girls at all.

So....

No idea!!

On Ent Lawyer's site, someone guessed Brendan Fraser. After re-reading Lainey's title, Bad Hair and Bug Eyed, I've got to agree. Plus, isn't he promoting a new movie, Journey to the Center of the Earth or something?

I like the Brendan Fraser guess. He's got Journey tothe Center of the Earth out right now and the new Mummy movie comes out in a week.

[LynnieD]

Ooooooo Brendan Frasier!! FITS!!

He's newly single, has serious bug eyes and horrifying hair!!

DING DING DING!

Oh no, it does sound like Brendan, but I hope it's not him. He was so nice to everyone at the Journey to the Center of the Earth press screening here in May.

[Sialia]

Yeah, but I thought he was likely the answer to a lot of closeted actor blinds. So if that's the case, then he probably wouldn't be picking up chicks.

[Belindagogo]

I think it's him...

[LynnieD]

You know, I saw him on Regis & Kelly and he seemed veryyyyyy odd. Like he was on something. Or just 'off'. He really did.

[crackho]

He def looks like he is on something in that picture. Shame. I love him. Come out, baby...come over to my place...I'll make you feel better.

[RevellingInSane]

I thought of Jason Statham first. Then Terrance Howard, but I can't think of anything they would be promoting.

Brendan fits better.

[Jupiter Jones]

I'd say Elijah Wood, except I think he's gay.

[Fluffy]

Definitely Brendan Fraser. Lainey has ragged on his hair plugs a couple of times.

Brendan Fraser Has No Friends

Because If he had friends, true friends, they would tell him straight up – dude, don’t fight it man. Just go bald.

Clearly Brendan has no friends. And he no longer has a wife either. Maybe that’s why he’s trying to save his manhood by faking his hair. Or maybe this is what prompted her to leave. I’d seriously consider doing the same if I woke up one morning to the hair plugs from hell in my bed.

Not only is it horror to look at, it also implies the kind of desperate vanity that is always, every time, an instant quiveration killer. When a man is clinging, clinging to every last vestige of youthful hotness he might have had (questionable in Brendan’s case anyway) instead of taking a more chill approach to aging: whatever happens, I’m good with it.

Isn’t that so much sexier? At the very least, isn’t it sexier than what he’s rockin’ now?

This is Brendan at Showest yesterday.

I feel itchy just looking at his head. And frightened looking at whatever peels and treatments he’s applied to his face.

He’s like an Asian baby now. My people, our hair grows UP, you see. Not out but UP. Spiky and straight. And we’re not a hairy lot either. Which is why we so rarely look good in short hair. Girls I mean.

The difference between Brendan and an Asian baby of course is that an Asian baby is a baby. And babies are cute.

Asian babies are not grown men well into their 30s with an inch of scalp in between transplanted follicles. F*ck. Ew! Stop raping my eyes!
