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.

Big shoes to fill... a celeb offspring? Or someone who is compared to someone else?
I think Megan Fox. She has being called the "next Angelina Jolie". She has been dating Brian Austin Green for a long time. And Lainey has written in the past about him being clingy.
Found this post by Lainey recently - "Megan is being followed around closely by Brian Austin Green (aka David Silver) who, rumour has it, is clinging to his last days as her boyfriend. Word is, he will not leave her side, desperately afraid that now that she’s Hollywood lastest “it”, she’ll come to her senses and get the hell out."
I thinks is pretty simple Katie Holmes, Lainey is always going on and on about how tom cruise always holds her back in a werid way as if presenting her.... which prefectly fits with the title of the post, and the big shoes she has to fill but be that of Nicole Kidman
Don't see that it could be Katie (even though I'd love it to be) because sadly I don't think she has management separate from him-actually,she definitely doesn't have separate management.
Whoever it is-Megan Fox is a good guess-the scandal sounds like it is an abortion.
I know this is unlikely, but what about Reese & Jake? Lainey did mention the minivan majority, implying that this person would care about that perception. Would Megan Fox care?
Katie Holmes is a good guess, but she has verbalized WANTING another child with Tom Cruise. I think she is still fascinated and brainwashed by him. Still, could be her I suppose.
I don't think it is Reese and Jake. Toronja have you read our posts about them? We believe Jake is Toothy Tile and that he and Reese are just friends.
Another guess I read elsewhere is Anne Hathaway. She has that foreign boyfriend, is starring in Get Smart right now which apparently she is photographed with a shoe phone somewhere? Could be her.
I do think Megan Fox would be concerned about the minivan majority finding out about an abortion. She is an up and coming actress. That would be a scandal, no matter how hip someone claims to be.
Rachael Ray? She's big with the minivan majority.
Good guess but Lainey says he is pushing to make their commitment more permanent. Rachael Ray and Katie Holmes are already married. I think it is a couple that is dating or engaged.
Kate Hudson -- is Owen "holding" her? She sure looked preggers for awhile there.
Kate Hudson/Owen Wilson - great guess! they fit perfectly. Only issue is the timing? She did look preggers in some photos 4-5 wks ago - Her and Owen just got back together 2-3 wks ago. the timing does not seem right.
who else could it be?
sistah - I think they got back together a few months ago, but didn't confirm it until recently. I think she broke up with Dax to go back to Owen.
Kate Hudson is among the ones eliminated today. And I think she is hinting that Sienna is the subject of another one when she eliminated her today.
"Dax Shepard is not holding Kristen Bell. It isn’t Eva Mendes either. Or Rachel Bilson. Or Kate Hudson. And Sienna Miller is not the subject of this one."
Right! Sienna is our "leftover blow" girl (I think)It sounds like Lainey is definitely hinting at that.
Some other names for this one: Fergie? Engaged, rumored to have been preggers now it is being denied. Or-as blurry has mentioned, Anne Hathaway or Megan Fox.Not sure on the "big shoes' part-that could be interpreted a few different ways.
I think it's Jen Aniston. In today's story about her and Orlando Bloom, Lainey put the word "holding" in quotation marks. Jen also has an obsession with shoes that's well known. There were stories about her being pregnant back in late December and early January.
They aren't dating... Orlando is dating model Miranda Kerr. Maybe she is hinting it is Orlando and M.K.
My guess is Anne Hathaway..she's /was in two movies where there are big shoes on the posters..Devil Wears Prada and Get Smart..getting ready to do big pr for Get Smart...Also she has an article about Kate doing Bride's Wars-mentions shoes again with Anne-all this right after the Jen/Oralndo post.Also she mentions it's not Eva Mendez two times.Eva was a protege(sp?) of Harvey's too..They say now Anne is and her boyfriend is suspect in some deals...Go back and read Lainey's posts on Anne...she was also in Princess Diaries movies-courting the mini majority..
Sounds like Reese to me. There were a few things that caught my eye. Big shoes – self imposed standard for herself, plus Walk The Line. She’s certainly a favorite with the mini van majority. Reese has some big upcoming projects that are highly touted – Four Christmases and Aliens/Monsters for Dreamworks, a really huge movie. She’s producing and directing now. Plus Reese looked pregnant a little bit ago, but not now. I’m going with Reese.
Anne and her guy have been engaged for three years..pushing for a committment??? Sounds like Anne to me people!
She also has Get Smart(with a shoe in the ad poster) and a couple of other movies coming out soon.Get Smart is expected to be huge!!!
Lainey has mentioned a time or two how Mary-Kate Olsen's shoes are always too big for her.
I think people can and should post whoever they want. I personally think that Jake is TT but that doesn't exclude him from this BI- for all we know he could be bi; actually, he probably IS bi. I think Reese and Jake seem into each other and happy which is why I don't think this BI is about them-I think Reese would have the baby. She is established and already a mom- but who knows!
We'll have to see who Lainey rules out next.-
Don't think it's Jen A. either-she's not seriously w/ anyone-was dating the crew dude from Traveling but it's over.(I think)
Prob is Anne H or Megan F.-
I think pretty much any actress has to worry about what the minivan majority thinks,by the way, that's a pretty big majority. A scandal like that is just bad pr
Yea, I agree Duff. Interesting about Anne H. Her b-f is not famous I think. Never see her photo with him. I guess they could fit.
also, good point re: Reese/Jake, I dont think this BI is them, and we really do not know for sure about the Toothy thing - yes , I do think he is toothy tile, but he might be "bi" and "into" Reese - for now - and be "toothy" on the side. Technically he could be a baby-daddy!! hee, that would be good smut. but I digress..
In her Star Magazine article today at the end (after the Brangelina stuff) there is a snippet
quote..
"Consider the example of Life & Style – remember this infamous cover? February 2006, when Katie Holmes was in her 15th trimester, Life & Style kicked off what would be their signature move... a story with no merit that created a huge, huge, huge splash and sustained them for many months afterwards.
At the end of the day, as you all know, the GMD did not release her. But Life & Style saw a spike at the newsstand."
Unquote
"the GMD did not release her."
Is she trying to say that perhaps all is not well with TomKat and that Katie actually ABORTED another "Little Sci"?
Am I nuts? Is this the hint? It just jumped right out at me and I wasn't even looking for it.
Discuss...
Okay, I forgot about her bit in the BI about making their commitment more permanent. What could that mean if it is indeed Tom & Katie? A public acceptance of Scientology by Katie? Actually having another baby? Also, what doctor would be ballsy enough to abort Tom's kid?
Damn, these things drive me nuts!
Why Lainey, why?!
Good find. I wonder if she is hinting that it is her. Yep there's that thing about "making it more permanent", that more fits someone who is dating or engaged. But who knows. I would be shocked if this was her, she seems so brainwashed.
I'm not trying to beat a dead horse here, but I think she dropped another hint about this being Tom again - either that or she is teasing.
"But Suri Cruise is everyone’s favourite. She’ll be 2 in 2 weeks!
PS. Why do I feel itchy looking at the way he's holding her?"
Even though Anne Hathaway's (my second pick)boyfriend has been arrested for dropping a bad check for a quarter mil., proving he's a jerk.
I must let this go...
I believe it’s Eva Longoria.
Past drags (the French model scandal). Anticipated projects - she's got a couple of new movies (one with Charlie Sheen) but also the restaurant is a huge project, with a lot of hype right now.
About a month ago there were pregnancy rumors that were rampant enough for her rep to deny them. I think the fact that Lainey denied EVA Mendes twice is a clue.
Big shoes – that would be Tony. Basketball player – huge feet wearing big shoes.
Wow-Eva might just be the one.Just had a birthday and Tony wasn't there.Denying Eva Mendez twice could also be big tip off too.
But then you have Tom and Suri and the holding comment.
This one is tough!
How about Janet Jackson?
Lainey said today it was not Tom Cruise and his robobride or something like that...
Yeah, I wrote to her last night and begged her to rule Tom out if is wasn't him because she has something on him everyday and the word HOLD just jumps out at me everytime and was driving me crazy.
I haven't seen anything about Anne Hathaway that could be a hint, so I'm going to go back and check Janet Jackson. However, I am pretty sure that JJ was "No Looking, No Talking, No Breathing".
Why do I torture myself?
Right, we updated yesterday that it's not Katie Holmes. She needed to do that... everyone was going crazy that it could be them. I didn't think so.
Sarah Jessica Parker???
Maybe it is Megan Fox - I went back and searched and came up with this...
"Megan is being followed around closely by Brian Austin Green (aka David Silver) who, rumour has it, is clinging to his last days as her boyfriend. Word is, he will not leave her side, desperately afraid that now that she’s Hollywood lastest “it”, she’ll come to her senses and get the hell out."
BAG is "clinging" to his last days... is this FINALLY solved?
LOL! Melly, you have copied and pasted the very first comment on this post. Please read back on our previous comments before you post a new "guess".
Ha! What a dolt I am! I've been obsessing about this one for so long I've lost the forest for the trees!
I am moving on...
This is SO not healthy.
I'm not sure if this is any indication, but when this came onto Lainey's site, I guessed Jennifer Hudson, who has an album coming out in September, plus is in Sex and the City. The shoes, are Whitney's because there are big hopes for this album. I emailed Lainey with this guess and never heard a comment back, usually she shoots me down when my guesses are wrong. Just a thought,
I meant that the big shoes to fill are Whitney's becase Jennifer is also on Clive Davis's label.
I really like the Jennifer Hudson guess. Our #1 suspect so far had been Megan Fox. But JH really fits. I think the Minivan Majority mention could hint to her American Idol ties.
Going back to this one - A few days ago Lainey had a link to a story about Megan Fox and BAG breaking up. And her link title was "Now she is free". I think that was a hint. Also, I don't think it was Jeennifer Hudson bc I just read that her long term bf and her broke up last fall and that she has a new bf since the spring or something. I forget the details but Idont think she fits this anymore.
But now with the Anne HAthaway scandal, maybe this was about her and her scam artist bf? I dont know. Top suspect still Megan Fox.
This is def Megan Fox, laniey todaypost about them and the last sentance was "Word is she’ll cut him loose once and for all by the end of the year… no matter the consequences." Totally Megan Fox!
