Not a doting mother, not a kind employer
She’s supposed to be the doting mother. Ask the people who help her with her kids. They certainly don’t agree.
First of all she’s never around. And when she’s present she’s distant, not only not involved, but almost irresponsible about it. One of her children may have developmental challenges. As such, diet can exacerbate the issue. Since she can only spend so much time with her children, and often slotted in like appointments in her schedule, she doesn’t bother observing the food requirements that can help with the child’s behaviour. Mom supplies junk food because it’s quick and dirty so that she can get out of there that much faster. When the kid acts out because of the sh-t he’s just consumed, she’s incapable of dealing with it and takes off anyway.
It’s left then to the staff to raise her family. How does she treat them? Nannies’ cell phones are confiscated at 8am and not returned until 10pm. There’s a trusting and kind working environment, non? Totally encourages loyalty.
As you expect, bosses like this always play favourites. Her favourite? Curiously enough, it’s the bodyguard. He’s been seen rubbing her feet. Of course that had nothing to do with the separation ...even though the foot massages have been happening for a while now.
It’s not Gwyneth Paltrow.
Top suspect, which Lainey has revealed: Heidi Klum

I thought Julia Roberts immediately - but she is not seperated (as far as we know). Is it JLo?
Recently separated celebs w/kids made me think of Heidi Klum, though I hope it's not her!!!
Its definately Catherine Zeta Jones.
I immediately thought Angelina Jolie, what with her kids always being photographed with junk food and the rumours about the twins, but the separation part doesn't fit.
Heidi Klum? I don't believe it though.
I read Kate Gosselin as a suggestion on one of the other blogs, seems to fit. Gwyneth lives in England though, so maybe someone from there?
@Vindaloo I never really thought of CZJ as the doting mother type though, I have a hard time picturing her supplying any food at all - wouldn't the Douglas' just have chefs all the time?
I think it is the Jolie
Actually thinking about the separation part... This really sounds like Gwynneth. Lainey has hinted that she & Chris M. had problems after rumors he cheated...
Just the other day, Lainey said in a blog post about Angie that her kids clearly adore her. I think Lainey definitely sees her as the doting mother type.
Here's what we know so far:
She has more than one child.
One of the children is a boy.
She is/was separated from her partner.
These are the people that I can think of that fit those three clues alone:
Jennifer Lopez
Heidi Klum
Vanessa Paradis (if the split rumors are true)
With regards to the Heidi Klum guesses: Last year, CDAN posted a blind item about celebrity employers who were a joy to work for (e.g. sending thank you cards to their employees, etc.). This blind was about a foreign a-list model and it was thought to be Heidi and Seal. That was easy to believe. Imagining her being nasty to employees is not.
I think this is JLO. She is actually separated.
In regards to J.Lo, the part about the developmental disorder makes sense too, since with twins, it is common that one of the twins has some issues in that department, or is slow to develop even if they don't have an official disorder. And her children are young enough that they "could" have a developmental disorder, as in there seems to be an issue but they are too young to make a sure diagnosis, and it needs to be observed as they grow a little older to pinpoint the issue. Hopefully that made sense, it sounded kind of confusing to me as I wrote it :)
PS, I wrote this in my last comment (this one is my second!), but it was on an older thread so idk if anyone will see it, soooo-I'm a very longtime lurker, very new commenter, and I love this site to death! In case anyone was wondering where I popped up from :)
Oh man also-since were talking about La Diva herself here-did y'all see Ted's blind about anchovy this morning?!? He was talking about him and strippa as if they were still together, which would totally blow the idea of it being JLo and Barfy Marky!!! Did anyone else see that?!? Or could I have interpreted it wrongly?
I apologize in advance if I annoyed anyone by posting about that in this thread, I just figured it was relevant since we're talking about JLo :)
This is Britney Spears. There was an item about her bodyguard being paid off to keep quiet this week. Will try to remember where I saw it, but think it might have been CDAN.
Welcome @EggHead! I thought the wording of Ted's new Anchovy blind was a little strange too. However, the "huge-butt" comment seems like a pretty big JLO hint.
Anyway, I know that CDAN isn't considered a reliable source here. I only remembered the Heidi/Seal blind item from the link here on BIE. Have Britney and Jason Trawick separated?!
I like the J Lo and Heidi Klum guesses. I thought of Britney too but she is not separated. She is engaged.
JLo and Heidi Klum so far best guesses and only ones that fit.
BTW welcome Egghead..hope you can continue to comment here. agreed about the 'delayed' issue..the kid in question must be btw 1-4 yrs old, so JLo and Heidi both fit.
I think it's Toni Braxton. She has two sons and one has autism. I read an article where she states that she tells her sons that popsicles are their friend when they have a fever. All that food colouring is not a friend to a child with autism! She and her husband have been separated for a while now. The media has rumored her to be dating Eddie Murphy recently, but he has denied it. It does mean that she could be on Lainey's mind though.
Thanks for welcoming me guys! :) I def like JLo over Heidi for this one, I've always heard Heidi described as a very devoted mother, I just read a people article about her and seals split that talked about how she schedules her career around her kids and how they are her number one priority, everything else in her life has to be fit in around them. Actually as I'm writing this I realized that that's basically exactly how the blind says this woman is perceived publicly, so maybe Heidi is a wayyy better guess than I originally thought lol. Idk I just always kind of bought it in Heidi's case though. But who knows :)
Can't possibly be Heidi. My roomie's sisters have both worked in the couture industry their entire lives, and they both say Heidi is so nice it's almost impossible to believe.
She's nice to the pretty people she's nice to the little people, she's nice to everyone.
Absolutely not her.
That said, I think it's KZJ. I remember a blind about her (one of CDN's reveals, if I remember correctly) that said what she calls "cleaning days" are days when she fires everyone in the house and replaces them all with new people.

@Kamil, The CDAN blind you're referring to is Four for Friday. It's the opposite end of the spectrum from the blind re: Heidi and Seal treating their employees with kindness. The link to both can be found under Heidi's name in the Labels section here.
I could see both Catherine Zeta-Jones and Toni Braxton for this. Still leaning towards JLO, since she has twins in the right age-range.
Not Heidi. She manages her kids lives like her own little kingdom - not in a bad way, a good way. The kids are scheduled within an inch of their lives, and Heidi oversees every detail. Her mother is also very involved with those children as a kind of head nanny.
The kids all learn German. They get tons of physical exercise. No, I just don't see Heidi resorting to junk food to shut the kids up.
Omg Kate Gosselin?!?!
JLo for me.
I thought about Kidman at first, for Lainey had supported gossip about Kidman having a too-clean house with no toys around. But 3 things lately: To my knowledge, Kidman is not separated. And her daughters look ok... But who knows, there are many illnesses, and levels of autism, that do not show on a kid's facial bone structure, or general behavior, and that necessitate a controlled diet.
Third, if there is someone that I imagine would never feed, or allow in the house, junk food, it would be Kidman.
Jennifer Lopez though has a rep for being a supreme bitch to the help. That is a fact. I mean, someone for holding her purse all the time! And also, she doesn't look like she spends much time with her kids...
Another fact, she is the definition of a self-absorbed b*tch. Didn't she make a scene a few years back when people were fawning over a kid, and she wasn't the center of attention anymore? That wasn't a blind, I think it was a clear message from Ted... Or Lainey?
I keep thinking of JLo. Hardly ever see photos of her with her children, we all know how busy she is, and she doesn't come off as the homemaker-ly type. I don't pay a lot of attention to her so maybe I've missed her recipe books and whatnot... but the bodyguard part - I know she's dating that little boy - so... maybe he's not the only one?
@Rita - hi from lots of us. I have a list, actually! Missed you "at" the Oscars, but we had fun.
I'm fairly new to the commenting, so here goes. Could the "Not a doting mother, not a kind employer" reference Britney's song, "Not a girl, not yet a woman"?
Also, do we know for sure that it's HER separation, and not the bodyguard's separation from his spouse?
I don't think it's Kate Gosselin, because that is old business, and she is super health conscious about her food and always was about her kids' on her former show.
@Brooklyngirl - Welcome! Brit could be... But she is divorced, not separated, and actually engaged. Also, she seems to dote tons on her kids...
@EmEyeKay, hey chica! How's everyone over there? What list?
@Rita - my desk is a little messy, I can't find the list (I wrote it down for you), but I think it was J.B.E, TimeB., and Sherry who especially wanted to send their greetings to you and let you know how much you're missed. And you are!
JLo....she's only with the kids for a photo op...
^ I rarely see photos of her and the kids.
Seems like it cant be Zeta Jones cuz she is not seperated from her hubs.
Its probly JLO
ChristinA Aguilera? Dirty reference?
I feel its JLO. Too busy with her boy toy to do such a thing as being a parent. She just had kids to keep Marc happy at the time. All her photos with her kids are staged anyways.
Gwen Stefani? Are her and Gavin separated though?
Gwen Stefani? Are her and Gavin separated though?
Gwen Stefani? Are her and Gavin separated though?
A little out there I think but what about Sarah Palin? She has a kid with developmental issues... she and her husband have been rumored to have marital issues... and there is that movie coming out about her really soon.
If this blind is about Kate Gosselin I will be po'd at Lainey for posting it. Who cares about her in 2012?
Nicole Richie? How old is her son? There was another blind that was suspected to be about her relationship being on the rocks....
Is this Kate Gossling? Wasn't she dating or having an affair with her bodyguard?
This can't be JLo. JLo isn't with the body guard. She's dating that little boy back up dancer.
SJP?
I don't think it's Kate Gross-ling, she is well and divorced. And has been for a time now.
Still think it's JLo. No matter the bodyguard. JHo can play both her blue collar men can't she?
Have to look for separated star getting her feet rubbed by bodyguard. Hope she doesn't have any bunions.
pls dont guess Kate Gosselin. Lainey would never in a million years put her name (blind item or not) anywhere near her column.
Still liking La Diva for this. Xtina is an interesting guess though, as I can totally see her doing something like this, she's just such a bitch, right? And I've seen pictures of her at like Disneyland and other such photo op-worthy places with her kid, who is also a boy (fits the blind!) and would be in roughly the right age range. Is there anything to rule her out? Going to reread.
Never mind scratch my last comment. Second sentence: people who help her with her "kids." not "kid." Xtina only has one. Oh well it was interesting guess anyways right?? Lol :)
Hi! I'm a long time lurker and first time poster! I'm so excited! lol
Anyway, when I read this I thought of JLO. As Karen already posted "Too busy with her boy toy to do such a thing as being a parent."
Welcome Alana!
Did they choose to deliberately use the British spelling of words as clues? What about the French spelling of "no"? Maybe the "Curious enough..." is a reference to the "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"? This is screaming Angelina Jolie with an ADHD child.

OHooo, fresh blood!
Welcome Alana!
@XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX,
Lainey is Canadian, eh! So the spelling is British, as in British humour and leftenant.
Also, Lainey often adds non, in French, at the end of her sentences, as in "don't you also agree"?
Could be Angie. I wouldn't mind if St. Angie could be brought down a bit from her pedestal... Especially after her loony Oscar prez.
*I am now showing you all my right sexay leg with tons of panache*.
But not to hurt Sistah2's feelings, everywhere else they are talking about this being Kate Gross.
*ducking*, don't hit me!
I so hope this isn't the Grosselin. Ted and Lainey really should have a ban on reality "stars."
I don't think Brad and Angie are separated, so I'm pretty sure that rules her out. Her leg appearance was absolutely irritating, though!
@EmEyeKay - say hello to everyone for me! I send them kisses and Kuntrashian MasterCard moments full of high-interest laughs!
Tell Sherry that I miss her too, and Jason Blue Eyes to get over his Alba crush, that dark blondes rock best.
I've made my little niche on CeleBitchy lately. Not under Rita though. There is another chick there writing under MY name. But she is sweet, and very calm... While I'm... You know, not very calm. Tell Sherry to come over and say hello to Maguita. Before Kaiser bans her one more time for telling her truthfully what a brangeloonie she is!
And thank you sisters for allowing me to use this space for a personal moment. I promise to inundate the new blind posts with guesses wild as the Momoa's beautiful hair.
I think it's Nicole Richie. Perfect fit.
Nicole richie and Joel madden aren't separated though are they? Plus she spends a lot of time with her kids, and even Ted says her transformation is for real, and that she's a good mom. I don't think this sounds like her at all.
When I first read this, the first name that popped in my head was Kate G. But I figured, like everyone else said, that Lainey would never write a blind about her in a million years. And if it was Kate what's the point of even making this a blind? Everything in it is widely known about her, except I've never heard that any of her kids have developmental delays. But there wouldn't really be any reason to make this a blind if it was about her, nor would any of this really be news if it was about her. Everyone already knows she's a horrible mother.
So for these reasons I'm sticking with JLo. As much as it easily could apply to Kate G. as well, I don't think it was actually written about her.
THis from Lainey today at the end of the Jessica Simpson post..Keep an eye out later on!!
Ps - will be home from studio soon. Lots of longer articles en route later this afternoon including one about an estranged couple you may be interested in
So the only two articles that Lainey posted this afternoon were on GOOP who she already notted and the Julianne Moore article on Sarah Palin. Doesn't her son Tripp or Trigg whatever his name is have development problems? I could totally see Sarah Palin being a NIGHTMARE boss to work for.. thoughts..
@JJ, I'm wondering if Lainey simply didn't have time to post the promised story. She'd said "Lots of longer articles later this afternoon", and we got two. One short, one long-ish...
It it's Sarah P, no big surprise. The people around her don't like her. Her husband has been sleeping on the couch for years now...
But I would be disappointed. Sarah P is not an interesting story to me.
It's Heidi Klum. Today, in her shout-outs, Lainey said "You don't have to check the magazine covers to see who's Not a Doting Mother." Heidi is on the cover of Elle this month.
Wow! Nice catch Liz!!!
Would have never thought it to be Heidi! Saddens me.
And JLO is dressed up as a boxer on the current cover of V. I don't particularly care about Heidi Klum, but I just can't wrap my head around this being her.
I would believe Toni Braxton...thats who came to my mind FIRST...she has a son with autism and they arent really ever on her show...she IS a DIVA so i could totally see her being a witch
@KaDixon.... Holy cow!!! F-ckin' ol' age!!! How can I forget my main guess JLo on the cover of V, in her attempt to sell us Vagisil! (that's how it looked to me, with that pose)
Ok, I'm back to JLo as my main guess.
Cee - I don't know much about Toni... But I know she's never on Lainey's blog. Also, does she have more than one kid? The blind alludes to kids, rather than just one kid.
@Rita, LOL! You're so right about that pose! The pictures from that editorial are freaking everywhere! What's the big deal? Prada and boxing gloves? Yawn.
Btw, loved your Do, Ditch or Marry comment!!
Aaaah, yes, I got really beastly on those a-holes' asses, didn't I? Good thing Ted deleted a few key sentences, and made it a bit more soft core than what I had originally sent!
Really would like for Lainey to either nix both or one of those ladies as guesses. There was no live blog this week, right?
@JJ - the comment from Jessica Simpson's post about the estranged couple was posted the following day - it's about Johnny and Vanessa.
The article is written by Sarah but right at the bottom, Lainey had added a bit about how Johnny and Vanessa were spotted in Toronto together, checking into a hotel....so to suggest that they may be trying to work things out.
Still think its Jlo!
@Rita, if you please, contact me via my Blogger profile, I connected it the other day.
Sisters, yes, thank you for letting me talk to Rita for a minute here... pardon the intrusion! And thank you for a great site. I love how people actually get to work and dissect here - it's awesome! I love blinds, they're such a fun puzzle.
So Im confused...who did Lainey say it was? Vanessa Paradis? JLo?
seems like she hinted toward both?
also...Rita no worries here if you disagree with my post..no offense taken. I just know that Lainey wont speak about KGoss (cant blame her) and KG is soooooo 3 yrs ago. This blind would maybe fit her back then, not now, not from Lainey.
@sistah2 - Lainey was quite vague, she said in her Thursday shout-outs, "You don't have to check the magazine covers to see who's Not a Doting Mother."
It was the day after the Heidi cover, but KaDixonLaw also reminded us that it was a week after JLo's, what I call now, Vagisil/boxer-itch cover on V mag.
But reading this again... Either Lainey is saying it IS someone on the magazine cover... Or SHE DOESN'T NEED to be on a mag cover and we would still know she's Not a Doting Mother...
I'm f-cked up with this guess... Taking the meaning to have no meaning literally... Do you catch my meaning?
@EmEyeKAy - just sent you a message from my Maguita account!
So JLo is on another mag cover, this time for Vogue, in their shape issue.
Hope Lainey gives a clue when she'll be blogging about that cover.
I immediately though of worlds biggest fake.. Angelina Jolie... but as far as I know there is no seperation.. I still kinda think it is her
Hi, I am just catching up!
So, Heidi Klum or J Lo seem like the top two.
I know I'm a little late on this, but just adding that Lainey does NOT discuss reality stars so it's NOT Kate Gosselin!
I am off to catch up on Lainey right now. If anyone sees anymore clues, please fill us in.
totally off topic - but OMG on Lainey's new blind. The dumpee is totally Franco - but who is the dumper :)
unknown Jake Gyllenhall?
Wll Lainey's live blog today she notted Jake and Franco, square one, but got me thinking dimples may me Talyor Lautner? She also didn't answer anything about this mother blind
I'm leaning towards the Heidi Klum guess. I just remembered that JLo's "nanny" is her mom - she's mentioned this a few times on American Idol and has also said on AI that her kids are always with her in the next room so she can go see them. Now this may be BS from JLo, but in Lainey's blind she repeatedly refers to "nannies" and "her staff" and it just doesn't seem to fit with JLo's mom being her nanny. Can you imagine confiscating your mother's cell phone if she is your nanny... that seems low even for JLo!
So I say it's Heidi Klum.
Also googled "Heidi Klum bodyguard" and there are loads of pics of her out with the BG, including this recent one at the part w one of her kids having a major meltdown: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1371889/Heidi-Klum-takes-children-dogs-bodyguard-football-Los-Angeles-day-out.html
@MD I'm starting to lean towards Heidi as well.
I think at the time the blind got out, we were are feeling bad for Heidi who had just separated from Seal, and word of him being at least psychologically abusive was trickling out. So you kind of feel bad for her.
But she could be it. Especially with the bodyguard hints and pictures. However, I never read about any of her kids having a condition,she has always been quite forthcoming about her kids.
@Rita - agree about feeling bad for Heidi. It seems we all love to hate J.Lo but for some reason not Heidi. I guess there are two sides to every divorce - maybe Seal's PR team just isn't as good as Heidi's...??? Do you know of any articles or links that suggest one of their kids might have behaviour issues? I googled but couldn't find anything.
@MD, that is exactly my point: There are NO hints as to one of her children having a condition that needs monitoring through food intake (Diabetes, some forms of autism are also known to be best monitored through cutting all wheat and milk products). None.
Anyone ever read an article as to one of Heidi's children suffering from a sickness or another?
Or maybe any articles about JLo's kids suffering from some kind of illness / behaviour issue that is exacerbated by diet?
Oops - just realized the blind items says *developmental challenges* not an illness.
You're right! Developmental would be more in line with Autism, not Diabetes...
Don't know about JLo's twins. On Cdan a few months ago, there were hints that one of the twins IS developmentally challenged, and JLo does not take them out often. She makes sure to be photographed with them every time she does.
I still go back to Lainey's final hint on this blind:
"You don't have to check the magazine covers to see who's Not a Doting Mother."
It was the right next day after Heidi's cover mag got out.
@Rita - good point about the magazine cover. That seals it for me. Def Heidi!
Hold up! Is this JLos's bodyguard? If so, WOW!
http://www.usmagazine.com/hot-pics/a-list-egg-hunt-201264
I still go back to the fact that JLo also had not one, but two covers that month. The V cover was also released right and hyped right around Lainey's comment.
I still believe that it is J-Lo. Look at these pictures
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2130483/J-Lo-struggles-wriggling-son-Max-reports-emerge-ex-Marc-Anthony-wanted-reconciliation.html
There was also a video of her body guard running after her son after he took off. She stood there
@JJ: Great point. Also, Heidi Klum is regularly papped at the playground with her kids. They hang all over her and clearly adore her. That behavior doesn't fit with this blind at all.
Pretty sure Lainey just identified this one as Heidi in her Met Gala wrap up this AM:
I will try to cover as many people as possible. By the end there may be as many as 40 articles, over 8,000 words. So...some will have to be cut. Like I’ll tell you right now, I’m cutting Heidi Klum. Not interesting and don’t care, unless she’s the subject of a blind riddle. But you already knew that.
Ms E I was just coming here to put that - I agree She outted Heidi for this, sad given the number of kids she has and yes they seem to hang on her, but that's prob cause in front of Paps is the only time she gives them the attention they crave
Right here to agree with you Ladies! Sorry to those who were convinced that this is JLo, including myself!
This really ties it neatly:
So...some will have to be cut. Like I’ll tell you right now, I’m cutting Heidi Klum. Not interesting and don’t care, unless she’s the subject of a blind riddle. But you already knew that.
Lainey identified Heidi Klum as the subject of this blind at her party in Toronto last night. She indicated the subject of the blind did a show with Christian Ciriano. Nuff said.
http://www.torontolife.com/daily/hype/the-fame-monsters/2012/06/26/2012-smut-soiree-toronto/
So I just read that Toronto life article (thanks for the link Blurry!) and I am soooo surprised that this is Heidi!! I was really convinced that it couldn't be her, and thought it would be best fitting as J.Lo for sure. I guess Heidi and her PR team got one over on me, lol! It makes me sad, I always thought she was someone in Hollywood who was actually a good mother and all around a sweet, nice person, a little kooky maybe but definitely a sweetheart. Clearly not, in fact, based on this blind, that couldn't be further from the truth. How sad for her children :(
Still don't believe this is heidi... i do believe that lainey wrote that meaning to be her, but i don't believe that heidi is like that...
and jake g is straight! Ha!
Even Seal is now telling TMZ that Heidi hooked up with the bodyguard. Seems like the relationship with the bodyguard is now out in the open.
This is most definitely Heidi. Lainey revealed today http://www.laineygossip.com/Articles/Details/24502/Seal-accuses-Heidi-Klum-of-affair-with-bodyguard
Again, Lainey being as subtle as a hammer between the eyes.
No ifs or buts about it, today confirms it: Heidi Klum is Not a doting mother, nor a kind employer.
Shame!
@125records got it first! Wise lady (gent?)
Congrats ladies - total confirmation that this is Heidi Klum once again. God, how I love Lainey!
