Lainey Blind Item 06/16/08 The Other Woman Doesn't Work

[RevellingInSane]

RFK Jr and someone of European origin. Several words point to French and German origin, like Angelina Jolie. It's says B List and reality show, so I am going with Charisma Carpenter. French and German ancestry among other things and doesn't work much.

Another guess. Angelina Jolie could be pointing to someone who worked with her. Lorraine Bracco?

Someone on EL's site guessed Shannen DOherty, but she's such a hellion and has ripped through men in the past -- I can't imagine her keeping quiet for a man.

My7 guess was Shannen Doherty too, just because of the matriarch for a new generation comment. No idea on the guy.

I think the Jolie reference has to do with being a hellion as a teenager. Both Doherty and Jolie had "bad girl" reputations as teenagers and into their early 20s.

I think this is what Lainey was referring to regarding having the "career revival":

Jennie Garth has officially signed on to join the Beverly Hills 90210 spin-off reprising her role as Kelly Taylor, the part she can never shake.

Unlike Jessica Biel, the Alba Bitch, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jennifer Aniston, and all those other tv girls however, Jennie has never fought her fate.

She is Kelly Taylor forever. And proudly so.

The new show will feature Kelly back at West Beverly High and there are some suggestions that this is the first in what will be a succession of old cast members returning from the previous iteration. Some are even speculating that Jason Priestly is next and that we will find Brandon and Kelly married after all these years.

Who gives a sh*t?

What we care about is Brenda. And since Shannen Doherty isn’t doing f&ck all, bringing back Brenda would totally make our lives.

Brenda the Cougar who lives next door and engages in some inappropriate exchanges with her 16 year old neighbour resulting in him disclosing the secret to Ms Taylor, the trusted guidance counsellor at school who then confronts her old nemesis in a season finale cliffhanger throwdown at the Peach Pitt.

You love it. Don’t lie.

Jennie Garth joins 90210 spin-off and will reprise Kelly Taylor

Have no idea about the guy though. Shannen Doherty has said she is a Republican in the past because she grew up in the South.

The "Is cheating hereditary?" made me think of the Sheen family and Martin Sheen because he's considered so much more solid than Charlie from what I know.

Mitt Romney would fit really well for the guy. The guy in the blind:

• legendary family
• bastion of fidelity
• "strong values"
• wholesome image
• has his own security team
• image problems if seen with an actress

Mitt Romney:

• successful business man, 2002 Olympics man and former Governor of Massachusetts
• Mormon, which equals goody-goody in most people's minds
• his mother was an actress and ran for U.S. Senate
• his dad was once chairman of American Motors Corporation in the 50s before becoming Governor of Michigan for two terms. He also ran against Nixon for the GOP presidential nomination in 1968.
• ponied up much of his own money in his presidential run and could clearly finance a security team on his own.

Martin Sheen and Shannen Doherty?

Barbara Carrera for the woman?

Shannen Doherty would be a good guess but doesn't she still have that show on Oxygen Network, "Breaking Up With Shannen Doherty"? Also, she has signed contracts for "long-term" projects. The problem was those shows were cancelled.

[Just Kill Me]

For a second I thought Sheen as well because of the role he played on that show but the man isn't an actor, right?

I doesn't say he's *not*, but I think the fact that there's no indication that the guy's an entertainer implies that he's not.

I think "legendary family" implies that the guy is not the first well-known individual from his family, which would fit someone like Mitt Romney.

^I think the rationale is that an actor/writer/director/producer probably wouldn't have much to lose by being seen with *any* actress. A politician would.

Except these are all two years old or older. According to imdb, she's only done 3 or 4 television movies in the past couple of years.

Donny Osmond?

[Belinda]

Update from Lainey...

PS. Michael Douglas does not have another woman. The other woman isn’t Krista Allen.

[Little Wombat]

Just curious - how would Romney and Doherty have connected? Doesn't she still live in LA?

I do think Doherty's the best guess so far for "The other woman," but just not sure who the hereditary cheater is.

The BI doesn't say they live in the same place. And Mitt has definitely visited LA, e.g.,

Sep,25, 2007; Los Angeles, CA // 5:45 PM ET; Mitt Romney Fundraiser - Los Angeles, CA

Doppelganger would seem to indicate a look-a-like. Maybe the heredity cheating reference is a sister and not pointing at the man?
