Lainey - Step Down

Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum are still together 10 years later. It doesn’t always end up that way.

This superstar is single and she’s been feeling herself lately. Boys, unfortunately, have always been a blind spot. On a recent project, a 19 year old dancer caught her eye. So she went for it. They hooked up. Which was great. Until he told everyone – the crew, the other dancers. When she found out she was mortified. She freaked. Mega drama. She couldn’t look at him anymore. She didn’t want to see his face again, ever. Insisted on drastic changes so that he would no longer have the privilege of being associated with her and she would no longer have to be reminded of him. That’s not the official reason, of course. Creative differences are always the official reason. But, behind the scenes, from people who were there, this is what everyone is talking about.

Lainey - A bag for silence

Lainey riddle from June 23 -

A bag for silence

A known randy man, celebrated lothario, international party animal, and now an actor who’s supposed to be in a serious relationship …but before that happened he got a lot of action. The right thing to do when you have herpes is to disclose the information before the sex happens. Which, credit to him, he did in one case that I know of. But when you’re a celebrity you have to make sure your former partners keep your secrets. So he generously sends her a designer bag (Chanel is preferred) every month keep it locked down.

Lainey - That New York rumour

New Lainey riddle today -

That New York rumour

I first heard this rumour a few weeks ago. Now two more people have told me the same rumour, all circulating among people in New York…about a hot actor and a married woman with a famous husband.
It’s been a while since he’s made a relationship stick. Because he’s so devoted to his work. One relationship apparently fell apart because of his work. We love him because he’s great at his job and so personable, handsome and cute at the same time. And stays out of trouble, off the party circuit, never attached to any drug-doing smut. Maybe the trouble he gets into has to do with who he hooks up with?
According to gossips in New York, he had an affair with the wife of a wealthy celebrity. Because of her marriage, she’s well-connected and has her own famous friendship circle that overlaps with his friendship circle. And while she doesn’t seem like his recent types, you don’t have to go back too far to find similarities with a previous type. This happened a while ago and ended not dramatically. Word is it took him a while to get over – not the emotion of it but the guilt. And he beat himself up pretty badly over what he considers a major mistake.

Lainey - Warning signs

I know, we missed this from a week ago.  There has been a lot going on!  Here is Lainey's riddle from April 15 -

Warning signs

They hooked up real fast. And everything has been at top speed ever since. From initial attraction to exclusivity to super, super serious, they’ve been inseparable, and she’s totally in love and he’s definitely into her too but he’s also really, really into partying. They were both recently at a private event. Everyone was happy, everyone was celebrating, and then he starts making out with another guy. He was also totally f-cked up when it happened. He gets f-cked up a lot. It’s definitely a problem – one that he won’t acknowledge and that she doesn’t want to see because she’s too blissed out. Eventually though it’ll catch up with him and them. For years there have been warning signs with this guy. And it’s affected all of his past relationships. She can’t seem to avoid the dark ones.

Top suspects: Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom

Lainey - She may have moved on

New riddle from Lainey yesterday -

She may have moved on

It’s the hookup everyone wants. On paper, it’s ideal. Sweetheart loves home, in more ways than one. Indeed, a couple of months ago, she was supposedly still hanging out at his place. But around the same time she was also seen in a foreign country, sightseeing…and seeing someone else?
Her close friends are saying she’s actually not dating the guy you want her to be dating. Their answer about her love life involves a man with a sexy accent who happens to live in the aforementioned foreign country. And her trip there was to see him, spend time with him. And they definitely hung out during award season. Which is why she doesn’t mind that you think she’s with someone else. Because then she can hide what’s really going on for a lot longer.

Lainey - Two Men and their arrangements

New riddle from Lainey yesterday, March 17 -

Two Men and their arrangements

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.

Top suspects: #1 (still too many);  #2 Bradley Cooper

Lainey - Shrooms to share

New riddle from Lainey -

Shrooms to share

A fun, quick little blind that went down after the Oscars…
It happened at one of the best annual after-after parties, where the top tier ends up after Vanity Fair. She decided to celebrate on shrooms. And she wasn’t selfish with her shrooms. She wanted to share her shrooms. She wanted to share her shrooms with the girl who claims to be all about sharing. So, hilariously, with shrooms in hand, she walks up to her potential new shroom partner and offered up her shrooms. I want you to picture this. The perfect crew standing around being tall and skinny and flawless, interrupted by a hippy with a trophy and a handful of caps. Now imagine their faces when they declined. She floated away, uninjured, already high from her night anyway.

Top suspects: Alicia Vikander or Brie Larsen with Taylor Swift

Reese Witherspoon's blind item

... And while reading Lainey I was also tipped off to this, written Feb 4 - apparently we have a blind item given to us by Reese Witherspoon herself.  So what was the crappy movie and who are the two stars?

Reese Witherspoon's blind riddle

As previously mentioned in the Kerry Washington post, Reese Witherspoon is featured in Entertainment Weekly’s Beyond Beautiful article and drops a blind riddle about opportunities for women in Hollywood:
“About four years ago I got sent an awful, terrible script. And this male star was starring in it, and there was a girlfriend part. And I thought, “You’ve got to be kidding me. No, I’m not interested.” They said, “Well this actress is chasing it, that actress is chasing it: three Oscar winners and two huge box office leading ladies.” And I thought, “Oh, that’s where we’re at? You’re fighting to be the girlfriend in a dumb comedy? For what?” And by the way, two Oscar winners did it.”
Which is partly why she started producing. Anyway, the internet seems to think it’s either A Million Ways To Die In The West or The Dilemma or No Strings Attached – all movies with maybe one Oscar winner but definitely not two. And let me tell you something about celebrities: they ALL know who’s won an Oscar and who hasn’t. They know it well. They have that sh-t memorised. Especially Reese Witherspoon. She’d never make that mistake of thinking someone’s won an Oscar when they haven’t. I think she’s talking about those Garry Marshall movies like New Year’s Eve (Halle Berry, Hilary Swank, Robert DeNiro) and Valentine’s Day (Julia Roberts, Jamie Foxx, Shirley MacLaine). And she’s right. They were terrible.
Let’s not pretend, though, that Halle Berry and Reese Witherspoon have the same opportunities. Halle’s going to take that movie because that might be her only option for a year. You know what else is weird to me? Reese Witherspoon is managed by Rick Yorn. Very, very powerful. Her agent is Bryan Lourd …who is the CO-CHAIRMAN of CAA. She’s married to Jim Toth, one of the top agents at CAA. He reps Robert Downey Jr, just to give an idea of his influence. And even her people are sending her bullsh-t scripts?

Thoughts on this?  Might be either of those comedies Lainey mentioned but might not...

Liam Neeson's secret girlfriend?

I am catching up on gossip and just read this on Lainey from Feb 9:

Liam Neeson's secret famous girlfriend

Liam Neeson recently spoke with The Irish Independent. He was asked about his Valentine’s Day plans. And then he decided to give us a blind riddle. Part of me thinks he’s trolling us. But I like this game. Apparently he has a girlfriend:
“I’d embarrass her if I said her name, she’s incredibly famous. I’ll have to do my best for her. It’s amazing how far a simple bunch of freshly picked flowers will go in a lady’s life, I find.”
Incredibly famous?
Hilariously, Jezebel is jokingly (I think) suggesting that it might be Kristen Stewart, because on January 5th, they were both in New York, and photographed separately at a restaurant.
You know the name that first popped into my mind though? For some reason, as soon as I pictured Liam Neeson with anyone, it was Nigella Lawson.
This is based on nothing. Zero evidence. Haven’t heard anything that would suggest they’d be together. Except that I think they might be great together. I mean at this point it’s basically a guessing game, right? Your turn. Come up with one.

Then here's Lainey's update On Feb 10:

The Liam Neeson dating game

Liam Neeson blind riddling himself generated more response yesterday – at least on my site – than Tom Hardy’s dick. What a great, unintentional, accidental publicity stunt. You think Rita Ora’s calling Liam now?
Who is Liam Neeson’s “incredibly famous” secret girlfriend?
My guess, based on nothing, was Nigella Lawson. I’m pretty proud of this.
Other guesses, based on nothing, have ranged from Susan Sarandon to Madonna to Charlize Theron. Would Madonna date a man in his 60s? Would Demi Moore? Because that’s been thrown out there too which I like almost as much as I like my Nigella, and she was out at an event last night and I want to use these photos. But I can’t see those lifestyles merging, can you?
Liam and Diane Lane?
They’re supposed to start working on a movie together and, well, they’re actually kinda perfect for each other, aren't they? And Liam’s a great f-ck you to Josh Brolin, isn’t he?
Kristen Stewart though? Definitely not. Jezebel initially “reported” it….as a JOKE, obviously, non? But Gossip Cop still had to make sure we know that Kristen and Liam aren’t a thing, with a quote from his rep saying that the suggestion is “stupid”. Liam’s rep is Alan Neirob, a veteran publicist with some pretty major clients: Denzel Washington, Robert Downey Jr, Chris Pratt, Caitlyn Jenner. You’ll note then that while he shot down the Kristen Stewart suggestion, he did not do anything about the spontaneous group Tinder that Liam just started for himself. Because it’s the best kind of PR. If I had the money I’d invest in the creation of a dating app called Liam Neeson.

Thoughts?
