Two Men and their arrangements

http://www.laineygossip.com/Two-Men-and-their-arrangements-blind-riddle/43355

This is about two different men. Their stories are not connected. But I wonder if they might want to find each other.

Many of the first man’s secrets and shortcomings have been widely publicised. The juicy sh-t however remains undercover. He had an affair with a very good, very famous friend, also male. And they get all sporty together. There has been speculation about them for years. At first I found it hard to believe. But recently two very good sources have confirmed it.

The other man has a very beautiful girlfriend. And it’s been a while since he’s had a very young boyfriend. Getting wild with young, ripped men has been a compulsion for him. But since she came around, he’s been able to deny those desires and has committed to straight living. It helps that there’s a payment plan. Multiple independent sources have told me over the last week that the story going up and down her circle is that on the 15th of every month she receives a direct deposit amounting to almost a million dollars. So I suppose he sees it like an investment?

These two are actually perfect for each other. And they’re not that far removed. Surely someone can make it happen.

Two Men and their arrangements

Mother Issues

http://www.laineygossip.com/Mother-Issues-blind-riddle/26243

She’s a mega-star who started young and seemed to not be affected by the child star curse. Seemed to be. But eventually, that sh-t will find you, even on a delay.

It’s the mother. Though the parents were previously thought to be harmless... the mother now appears to be going full Dina Lohan. The mother has been hitting her up for cash for a while now, the better part of a year. To support her own projects, resurrect her own failed dreams, and her new relationship -- so essentially she’s bankrolling her ma’s midlife crisis. The daughter can afford it, certainly, and if it was just the money, it wouldn’t be getting out, but now she’s being asked by her mother to leverage her own fame and influence for industry contacts and connections. Since she can’t get a meeting on her own, she’s been namechecking her daughter to get in the door, and when that doesn’t work, she’s been pressuring her daughter to step in on her behalf, jeopardising her daughter’s reputation. No matter how hot you are, you don’t want to be known as the girl with That Mother. It’s becoming a concern for the daughter’s management team, as they worry that her ma’s increasingly aggressive famewhoring will undo their own moves in advancing the young star’s career. As you can imagine, it’s a delicate, uncomfortable situation. She is loyal and protective to and of her family. But she cannot deny that her mother may be compromising her professionally and is torn about whether or not to indulge her mother’s demands or look out for herself instead. She’s stressed, and while that doesn’t excuse her mistakes, it does provide some insight about some of her behaviour.

By the way, her boyfriend has been very supportive through all of this, certainly her most reliable source of strength.

And for Kendra who is hurting -- I don’t have anything on Renner or Poetry Arms but (A) I have been holding back a story about a sexy older movie actor who’s running out of money and has been offered a tv series several times but he thinks it’s beneath him. (B) And there’s one about a girl who got married but disinvited a friend, also former colleague, from her wedding because the friend hooked up with her ex. (C) And one of my favourite stories is about how one of the most powerful, acclaimed actors in the business hates his younger counterpart, even though he chose him to be in his movie, because the younger one is way too arrogant and precious about his talent. Senior refers to him as “the kid who isn’t American but somehow talks like DeNiro 1976 -- f-ck him”. That cracks me up. Does that help at all?

Even B List needs a beard

http://www.laineygossip.com/Even_B_List_needs_a_beard_blind_riddle_29mar11.aspx

It’s not just the super elite actors, the film stars, who need to beard and pretend. Even the lower ranking ones do too. Calling him B List might be a little generous, but he has had his share of magazine covers, is the face of a few shows, and is surprisingly entrepreneurial, with successful projects across several other platforms, all banking on looks and virility. While I can’t personally see it, his appeal is strong enough that it has overcome his reputation as a chronic philanderer whose wife left him because he couldn’t stay faithful. It was always assumed that he was cheating with women. And in a way, given his errrm sex symbol image, that may have worked for him.

But what if the cheating was with men? One night in New York, he was on the receiving end of a very enthusiastic blow job from a very enthusiastic young giver who was clearly not his baby mother because his baby mother is, obviously, not a boy. The baby mother very likely knows though. After all, it wouldn’t be an arrangement that she’d be unfamiliar with, given where they met. Still, dude, if you’re keeping that kind of secret, and you hit up a bar to get blown, you may want to tip the staff a little better than you do. Because they are talking. And it’s not like people haven’t been wondering this about you for a long, long time anyway.

Tori Spelling says that everybody hates her from 90210. No doubt. But more people probably hate this other bitch who has virtually alienated all of her former costars and is widely known to be a pain in the ass but for some reason enjoys a popularity and a paycheque usually reserved for much more accomplished actors.

So she’s rich now, yes, but that doesn’t mean she’s generous. And she’ll gouge you while she can, so aggressively that she was reprimanded by executives recently for trying to wrangle cash money out of the budget to pay for her hotel suites. Not an expense account, but straight up CASH. Apparently she was so belligerent about getting a free ride, and using her free ride cash money in other shady ways, so relentless with the demands, the people on the receiving end were emotional wrecks by the end of her tantrum. This was abuse.

But there’s a history here: she’s already been rejected by her former bosses for insisting that they contribute to the furnishing of her personal residence and for inexplicably requesting that they cover the cost of her mother’s car. Every time they said no, she would call it an injustice, adding to a long list of perceived injustices that she claims affected her performance.

People have been trying and trying to excuse her f-ckery. There is no excuse. She is not kind, she is not gracious, and she is cheap as sh-t.

We can talk about this at S.M.U.T. Tickets are going fast. Click here before it’s too late.

Unpaid Bills

http://www.laineygossip.com/Unpaid_Bills.aspx

You’d think they’d be liquid, you know? Flush from the funds of so many different projects, across so many different mediums, by so many different sources.

But that’s the thing with celebrities. They’re richer than we are, to be sure, but some of them really aren’t THAT rich, especially when you factor in the lifestyle. Being not that rich isn’t a problem. Being not that rich and not paying your bills is a big problem. Being not that rich, not paying your bills, but still spending your balls off is a huge problem.

So they have projects around the house. Some construction here, some wiring there, installations, renovations...it never stops. It never stops because they keep having to hire new people. Inevitably the invoice will arrive, they won’t be able to pay it, so they end up calling someone else to finish the job. They don’t pay those people either.

How f&cking ghetto, non???

Like people who keep taking out credit card after credit card? Only these assholes are wealthy! They have jobs! They earn celebrity salaries!

Which means they’re too stupid to manage their finances and too cheap to figure out their finances before satisfying their non-urgent, vanity-motivated projects at the expense, literally, of labourers and small business owners who trusted the wrong millionaires.

Slowly but surely, they’ve pretty much exhausted the entire contracting community in town, verging on blacklist, and are now several hundred thousand dollars in the hole to several companies in Hollywood. Word is they’re facing legal action, and even a lien on their property...

Probably the reason behind the new round of exploitation. They need the cash.

But do we still care?

A few years ago, before everyone and their eyebrow stylist had a reality show, it was a novel concept. Now? Now they’re totally almost irrelevant – the proof in that lies in a deal one of them tried to strike with the paps recently.

She needed cash so badly, she arranged for some “candids” in exchange for a few quid. Unfortunately her images weren’t selling and the photographers cut her off.

Shame!

Word is, even Phoebe Price out-earns her...

In this economy, how will they ever recover?

Gay But Broke

http://www.laineygossip.com/Gay_But_Broke.aspx

Heterosexually attached for a long, long time, he recently faced his inner gay and admitted the truth. His partner apparently took it well. As well as any woman can under the circumstances. She felt much better when she found out how much of the bank account she was entitled to. And given that he was the one walking, and he is the one who’s famous, he’s also the one who has to pay. A lot.

So now he’s broke – relatively speaking. In Hollywood terms, I mean. Lost his job, no work on the horizon, he seriously considered coming out as a way of “reinventing his image”, not for gay rights but because he needs the money. Only problem is, he was told over and over again that “no one will care if you’re gay”.

On the flipside, a fake Hollywood romance with a famewhore like Denise Richards for example won’t fly either since the ex will flip her sh*t and out her himself, preferring to be passed over for a mo over another woman. Me too!

He was encouraged to do Dancing with the Stars but pride got in the way. If things don’t turn around, it’ll be a last resort next season.

Gay But Broke

Being cheap is unforgiveable

http://www.laineygossip.com/Being_cheap_is_unforgiveable.aspx

He’s super hot. He’s moderately successful. He’s probably not gay – although one can never be sure in Hollywood. He’s also always working. So why is it that he can’t find a woman? Maybe it’s because his mediocre skills in the boudoir are complemented by some tightwad tendencies that his good looks simply can’t make up for.

On the first few dates, everything is fine. But then he begins to squirm if the unlucky lady orders something a little too extravagant on the menu. An expensive bottle of wine on birthdays is out of the question and don’t even bother calling him on his cell before the free minutes kick in. Totally understandable behaviour for a starving actor but definitely NOT acceptable for a dude who is a definite headliner, even if his movies do suck sh*t.

So a few weeks ago, he takes out a new girl. They have a good time, they go out again, she’s really charmed, she sleeps with him, and she stays overnight. Next morning – they oversleep, he has a meeting and can’t drive her home. So she calls a cab but she has no cash. He spots her $100, they say goodbye, and agree to see each other later. When they hook up next time, he actually asks her TO PAY HIM BACK!
AND – to top it all off – his feet smell!!!

Okay gossips, take it easy before you email me. I’m under strict orders for no additional clues on this one. Which means I can only say yes or no. One guess. Good luck.

Being cheap is STILL unforgiveable

http://www.laineygossip.com/Being_cheap_is_STILL_unforgiveable.aspx

So he won’t splurge on dinner, he’s tight with cabfare, and his feet smell. Think it can’t get any worse? Apparently my man also has the maturity of a 10 year old. And so do all his friends. His last relationship with potential ended because of one too many days like this:

She’s been out of town for a couple of weeks. He’s been hanging with the boys the whole time. She gets home, they make plans to stay in for a quiet dinner, catch up, make some love. All good things, right? Two hours later, the night is half over and she’s still waiting. Turns out he’s been playing video games and lost track of time. So she calls, he answers, apologies sincerely and promises to be over right away. Only as soon as the words out of his mouth, she can hear his buddies jeer and complain and taunt. Very high school, I know. The only problem is – he’s like a decade and a half outta his senior year and he still changed his mind right away. “Sorry, I can’t leave the guys babe. We’ll do it tomorrow night.” Needless to say, you know how it ended.

In a town like Hollywood, where every 2 bit skank is jonesin’ to hook up with a screen idol, this guy is still single. So can you imagine what a feeble little f&ck he really must be???

One more chance to guess. Good luck.

Her hiring frenzy

http://www.laineygossip.com/ArticleDetail.aspx?ID=3336
No one has everything. Even when they seem like they do, there's always something missing. And she's no exception. While her relationship might be mismatched, to say the least, their love appears to be real. Professional success, family support, careers that cross… these two have managed to pull it together and they couldn’t be happier. Except that the thing they want the most has eluded them. The longer it takes, the more she fears that the very personal and very controversial decisions and the discards and the rejections she made while young and ambitious are coming back to haunt her. The problem is - he doesn't know. And since the people who DO know from back in the day are whispering so loudly of late, she's desperate to buy their silence. She's offering money and she's offering jobs. She's calling in favours, she's pulling strings, and she's raising eyebrows. All of a sudden, her projects are completely staffed by those who need to keep her confidence. Which means she's having to answer his questions on that front as well. Poor thing is apparently so stressed out about having to keep all these secrets that she isn't getting much sleep, made worse by the fact that she has to play happy and content all day long. With any luck though, all this will change soon. After all, it's not like they haven't been trying.

Cheap & Crafty

http://www.laineygossip.com/Cheap_and_Crafty.aspx

No shortage of classless behaviour in Hollywood and above the maybe gaybe speculation and the drug drama, it’s these stories that are the most shocking:

How can the privileged behave so poorly?

Especially someone who sounds so elegant? Whose record has been spotless and golden?

Then again, it’s always the ones you least expect.

In her case however it’s become an M.O., a trail of cheapness wherever she goes.

So you know when you stay at a hotel, if the soap and bath products happen to be on the higher end, it’s customary to ask for a few refills and take some home? This of course is standard behaviour for US…because we’re broke!

But how about a busy, working actress, married to a busy working man, both with several projects on the go – does it then become less acceptable? Almost shameful? I think so yes.

And still she does it wherever she goes – on junkets, on promotional tours, whenever she’s at a hotel, she orders up extras: extra shampoo, extra lotion, even extra bathrobes, taking EVERYTHING home… yes, even the bathrobes. The bathrobes that are washed then used again by every guest staying in that suite, she insists on bringing it all with her. Including the gifts too.

She is also not shy with special requests. Lighting fixtures, humidifiers, strollers – kinda major items you’d think would be on loan, right?

Wrong.

She packs those up with her too. The woman leaves NOTHING behind.

The question is: what does she do with it all?

Would you believe she gives it to her staff? She saves the little soaps and gels and crafts them into small baskets and presents them to the nannies and the housekeepers as bonuses!

Can you imagine? Can you imagine a Christmas gift basket full of hotel shampoos and conditioners?

I mean How.F&cking.Tacky.

New Bitch Unwelcome

http://www.laineygossip.com/ArticleDetail.aspx?ID=6300

Gotta pay your dues in any industry…but especially in hers. However, it seems like the New Bitch doesn’t care for respecting the veterans in her business and so she is making enemies of almost everyone she works with and everyone who works with everyone she works with. For such a close knit community, this certainly doesn’t bode well, especially when the freshman glow starts to recede.

But such foresight has escaped her and she’s burning bridges left right and centre, issuing demands normally reserved for bonafide legends in the business and treating the “workers” like they were born to serve her. During a recent tantrum, when she was given some professional advice, and instead of taking the criticism and learning from it, she waved her finger around, humiliating the person trying to help her, and tore him a new asshole: “I don’t need you to tell me what to do. I AM (this business) and I saved it too!” and then of course sulked for an hour and refused to work.

And then there’s the insecurity. The minute another big name female gets brought up, the backstabbing begins. “Oh please… she is so fat next to me, she should just go home” or “Girl is gettin’ OLD! She should stop worrying about what I’m doing – it’s stressin’ her out!”

Now as women…let’s face it… we are ALL catty. But the smart ones do it in a safe environment, with our girls, with those we trust. But the New Bitch’s ego is so out of control, she drops her insults everywhere, all the time, and she thinks she’s above repercussion.

Dead Wrong.

With the exception of her own team – and they’re milking her dry anyway – most people in the industry hate her with a passion. And while they would never intentionally bring her down, they will certainly make her feel unwelcome. So one day when she needs a friend, she may not have anyone to help. Hospitality is not an eternal river.

What’s worse than Rossum? What’s worse than Rossum is a CHEAP celebrity. What’s worse than a CHEAP celebrity are two CHEAP celebrities.

SIX DOLLARS.

Of course the teenage fan defence will be that stars don’t carry cash. Fair enough. But if you don’t have cash, do whatever it takes – call your farking manager, call your assistant, call your band if you have to, get a few bills and tip the hard working server who has to make your punk asses happy for 2 hours, would you?
