Blind Vice: Lloyd Boy-Toyed Dares to be Outed!
Good news: Ever since Toothy Tile decided to permanently bury himself in the proverbial Hollywood closet, it's almost as if Lloyd Boy-Toyed has decided to up his bent for dangerous, risk-taking sexual activities. No, not talkin' about getting it on without a condom—or in a car in a West Hollywood parking lot—but something almost as rebelliously mindless: like hitting on a reporter.
Now, even though Lloyd has always had a penchant for doing things like...
...getting his flirt on with other dudes—even with Toothy himself at the Globes, remember?—Lloyd's reserved his guy-on-guy action for behind closed doors, even if he paid for it.
I mean, let's just say up until now, the riskiest thing Lloyd's ever pulled is wondering if the call-boys will tattle or not. Strange he's not like some bigass stars who insist on confidentiality agreements with their mates (whether hired or not) before jumping between the sheets.
But now Lloyd's taken it to the next level and propositioned a pretty well-known reporter, who's interested. And the code was clear: Said hit-on dude was expected—not told—not to tell. It was a gamble. Will it pay off?
Isn't it odd how the older certain stars get, they simply don't seem to be as interested in the watery, come-on games such stealth gay players as Crotch Uh-Lastic prefer. Does that mean with age comes impatience? Or just lack of imagination?
Tough call, really, because if you ask me, it's pretty lively to ask a journo—who could blow your cover in seconds flat—to get it on. Maybe this is the kinkiest way of them all and Crotch and Toothy (ah, poor Toothy) should be taking notes?
Time will tell on this one.
It Ain't: Dean Cain, Billy Burke, George Clooney
There are two previous Lloyd Boy-Toyed blind vices. Here are the links so you can read them, from September '08 and January '09. On the original bv, you can also see a full list of who has been eliminated.
Top suspect: Alec Baldwin

Will post the link to the other 2 LBT blind vices but this we know: he is older, unmarried,has famous sibling(s) and attended the Golden Globes this past January.
Some top guesses: Eric Roberts, Alec Baldwin, John Cusack
Alec Baldwin hitting on Ted himself.
Kevin Spacey
lana: I thought the same thing. Ted has always had a thing for Alec.
I don't know about KS-it has definitely been confirmed that LBT has famous siblings.
The links are up and all of the posts are intertwined now! Sorry for the delay. Thanks duffgrl for posting the bv!
I always thought this was Alec Baldwin. I guess John Cusack fits too. Eric Roberts... I just don't think many people care about him. Someone also mentioned Jeff Bridges on one of the other posts.
Kevin Spacey... possibly.
The only thing I can find about a sibling of Kevin Spacey's that works in the entertainment biz is that he has an older brother Randy who makes a living as a Rod Stewart impersonator.
Ted said that LBT has an attractive sibling in the biz.
Am trying to figure out again who was definitely at the golden globes in January but that is tough.
Stalking this BV again. Just want to also point out that Jeff Bridges' father's name is Lloyd. Poosibly a hint. ???
I know also John Cusack's character was Lloyd Dobbler in Say anything, if we are going with "Lloyd" hints.
There are still many possibilities...
It could be Alec because he was definitely at the Globes. Remember he won for 30 Rock. I cant remember if Cusack was there though but I think he's a good fit for this BV.
"Dear Ted:
I keep having these wild erotic dreams about Alec Baldwin...I wake up so ashamed but happy. Should I be worried?
—Renee
Dear 30 Hard Rock:
Must 'fess—agree he's looking much better with age."
I still think that this blind is Alec Baldwin... all the clues really seem to fit here. Perhaps the Cusack thing is coinicidence.
I really don't think it's Baldwin. My sister worked with him in dinner theatre, back in the day. He dated her and one of her best friends, whom he kept dating for a while.
how about nick Nolte. He was in a gay relationship with a london pal for three years in the late 80's?
John Cusack's character in "Say Anything" was named Lloyd Dobler. That role was Cusack's big breakout (though he'd made other films before that). It's probably the role he's most famous for, so picking the name Lloyd would definitely fit for Cusack.
With the exception of his mom Nancy (a former math teacher), the Cusack family are all involved show business: father Dick Cusack is an actor and filmmaker, and John's siblings Joan Cusack, Ann Cusack, Bill Cusack and Susie Cusack are all actors. Like his brother and sisters, John became a member of Chicago's Piven Theatre Workshop while he was still in elementary school. By age 12, he already had several stage productions, commercial voice overs and industrial films under his belt. He made his feature film debut at 17, acting alongside Rob Lowe and Andrew McCarthy in the romantic comedy Class (1983). His next role, as a member of Anthony Michael Hall's geek brigade in Sixteen Candles (1984), put him on track to becoming a teen-flick fixture. Cusack remained on the periphery of the Brat Pack, sidestepping the meteoric rise and fall of most of his contemporaries, but he stayed busy with leads in films like The Sure Thing (1985) and Better Off Dead... (1985). Young Cusack is probably best remembered for what could be considered his last adolescent role: the stereo-blaring romantic Lloyd Dobler in Say Anything... (1989).
Cusack is the product of a passionately liberal Irish Catholic family, visited the radical Berrigan brothers when he was growing up, and, like them, his mother still gets arrested for her anti-militarism and pro- human rights protests. Since May 2005, Cusack has been an occasional contributing blogger at The Huffington Post, including an interview with Naomi Klein. He has written extensively on his opposition to the war in Iraq and his disdain for the Bush administration, calling its worldview "depressing, corrupt, unlawful, and tragically absurd". He also appeared in a June 2008 MoveOn.org ad, where he made the claim that George W. Bush and John McCain have the same governing priorities. That fits the cranky and agenda-driven description.
Cusack, who was born on June 28, 1966, is (at 43) the right age for Lloyd. Ted said Lloyd is older than Toothy: "these guys are nearly a generation apart". Jake Gyllenhaal was born on December 19, 1980, so he's currently 28, and almost a generation (20 years) apart in age from Cusack.
His family is Catholic. They're liberal politically, but perhaps they still have religious objections to the gay lifestyle. I mention this because Ted said Lloyd wouldn't come clean because of his family. Or, he may be concerned that being exposed would hurt his family, by association, within the industry.
Ted mentioned Lloyd's blind as mierda fans. In 2008, police arrested a woman suspected of stalking Cusack. On October 10, 2008, the woman pleaded no contest and received five years probation and mandatory psychiatric counseling, and was ordered to avoid Cusack, his home and business for the next 10 years. If he's Lloyd, that would explain the "blind as mierda" fan comment.
One more thing: Ted quotes a source as saying, "It's how Lloyd operates. It's all in the eyes."
The most iconic image in the film, "Say Anything", involves Cusack (as Lloyd Dobler)holding up a portable stereo over his head. Lloyd's stereo (in that scene) is blaring Peter Gabriel's song, "In Your Eyes".
To the poster above..I think you hit the nail on the head. Everything you said makes complete sense. What do you do when you toy with something? You 'Dabble' in it, right? Lloyd Dabbler (instead of Dobler) would have been way too obvious for Ted's blind, so he tweaked it a bit. Even if we're wrong, you made a good case.
"Dear Ted:
Why does Tina Fey still employ Tracy Morgan? He seems like he is the worst sort of douche bag. She seems so cool. Is she not really? I just don't get it. I'll take any Baldwin over Tracy! And that is saying a lot, because I think the Baldwins are douches, too.
—Blue
Dear 30 Rockless:
No, Tina is as awesome as she seems. What's so bad about Tracy? Or the Baldwins?"
I think its Cusack now.
I don't think its Cusak because someone asked a question about him in a recent BB and Ted replied that he doesnt like the media mutch and is a little bitch on the red carpet.
"Dear Ted:
I'm a loyal reader and visit your site at least five times a day. Just wondering, do you ever secretly post messages on the E! Online Message Boards? And which B.V. star would you like your readers to ask more questions about?
—Curious
Dear Wonderin':
No, it's your show. And I must confess I have a soft spot for Lloyd Boy-Toyed. We have not seen the last of him, not by a long shot."
"Dear Ted:
Has anyone guessed the identity of Nevis Divine yet? My guess is Sam Worthington. And how's Lloyd Boy-Toyed doing lately? Is his propositioned journalist still on his radar? Merry Christmas!
—Curious
Dear Guessing Game:
Of course, out of all of you readers you think no one has correctly guessed Nevis' identity? Duh some of you have! I just won't necessarily print it—or respond. As for Lloyd, no updates on said journo. Think Boy-Toyed is preoccupied right now with himself."
"Dear Ted:
What's with John Cusack? Is he loony or does he have Jack Nicholson syndrome or what? Please advise.
—Michelle
Dear Say Anything:
He's brilliant and just doesn't like playing the tabloid game—yes, just like Jack."

smiles_on_solo_vacay.html
"Dear Ted:
Although I do have another guess for the douchebag that is Moisty Mohr, I just have to take this shot—Is Moisty Alec Baldwin? There are a couple clues in your post about the A.B. solo vacay that point M.M. in a different direction, but you also used the word "moist"...twice! Such a revolting word that it must be used sparingly if at all, so am I close?
—JR
Dear Sweaty Solo:
Fabo guess, but you're so barking down the wrong Vice tree for Baldwin."
"Dear Ted:
Haven't heard much about Lloyd Boy-Toyed in a while. Is it just me or has he been publicly toeing the line a lot lately about admitting to his bedroom preferences...?
—Smith
Dear You Got It:
Such the disappoint, yes. Is he getting scared again or what?"
"Dear Ted:
I'm enjoying the Six Degrees of Maribeth Bush game. How about Lloyd Boy-Toyed—any chance he has worked with Maribeth?
—Leslie
Dear Bushels of Fun:
Yes, they have worked together. Excellent clue request."
Now that we now Maribeth Bush is Elizabeth Banks, can we confirm that LBT is indeed Alec Baldwin??? EB has not worked with John C at all
"Dear Ted:
I ran across the movie Serendipity the other day, and it stars my celebrity crush John Cusack. I was wondering if he has ever had a Vice? If so, I hope it's
nothing bad because that would be heartbreaking.
—Dollie
Dear Dirty Cusack:
Nope. No Vice in his closet. But that hardly means his closet is empty."
"Dear Ted:
The Rock of Ages set is just teeming with Vices! So who's got the biggest and most infamous of them all: Tom Cruise, Russell Brand or Alec Baldwin? Glad you
quit smoking. It's just plain gross and doesn't suit you.
—K Bronxville, N.Y.
Dear Vice of Ages:
Funny enough, the only one not in the Blind Vice Superstars gallery. But that's not surprising to you, babe. At least, I hope not."
Update: Ted semi-revealed this in his last week of the column. It's Alec Baldwin. See comments under most recent post for details.
