For those of you original shippers from almost two decades ago, it is not a love/hate thing going on between the stars of the show. It is simply a ploy to get some more money. That being said, I don’t want you all to think the couple is seeing each other exclusively or anything like that. They both see other people. They both have frequent co-star things. Gillian Anderson/David Duchovny ("The X-Files")

This celebrity offspring who is probably a C list celebrity but has A+ list last name recognition is doing coke again. Things didn’t turn out so well the last time. Conrad Hilton

13. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/01 **#9**
A couple of months ago I told you this A- list cable reality star who has appeared in multiple shows for the same channel was cheating on her husband. She was doing it quietly then, but is doing it a little more loudly now. She has a certain lifestyle she needs to maintain and he is not going to be the one going forward. Kim Zolciak/Kroy Biermann

14. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/01 **#10**
#1 – This A list momager just took out a very very very huge life insurance policy on one of her clients you might not have known was a client. The premiums are astronomical. She told her family member about that policy, but not the ones she took out on certain other family members. Their payout is triple if there is accidental death, which despite the name includes murder. Kris Jenner/Kanye West

#2 – This less famous sibling is just as good of an actor and much much better at hiding infidelity. Now that his marriage is over, apparently many of the other women he saw during the marriage are starting to come forward because he promised he was going to be with them and not the person he ultimately picked. Casey Affleck/Floriana Lima

#3 – This A list action star with multiple franchises had a roomful of male escorts he chose from while out of the country promoting his new movie. Vin Diesel ("xXx: Return Of Xander Cage")

15. ALL ABOUT THE TEA 12/01
This inquisitive reality TV wife believes that her marriage is solid, but she is actually losing the game of love. Her husband is embroiled in a full blown affair, swinging between devoted family man and shady adulterer. The wife is clueless to what’s going on, and chalks up her husband’s distance to a busy work schedule. The husband’s mistress lives in a different city, allowing the cheater to slide by without being discovered. The side chick is besties with a former reality west coaster who is keeping her secret safe. The mistress hits the road with the husband’s crew, all directed to keep the year-long romance out of the nosy wife’s radar. The husband is stretched in two directions, but manages to balance the relationships without getting caught. A recent shift at home might cramp his style, but this double-dealer has no intention of ending his fun. Name the reality show and reality couple. Meghan King Edmonds ("Real Housewives of Orange County")/Jim Edmonds

16. THE GOSSIP LIFE 12/02
Single White Female may be in line for a remake and we already have the basis. This highly unique character was definitely A-list in his field in his day and although he was near the top of that game, he was infatuated with modelling his public persona on his idol, the radio personality Howard Stern. 'It was a creepy obsession,' whispers my source who was once close to Howard. 'Howard was freaked out by it. He found out [name omitted] was even frequenting the same establishments as him.' Dennis Rodman

17. POPBITCH 12/02
Which Canadian artist has earned himself the nickname "Stone Roses"? Not because he's got a new found love of baggy flares, but because it only took until his second album to enter the cocaine period of his career... The Weeknd

18. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/02 **#1**
Don’t believe the rumors. This A list singer is not pregnant. That background of hers makes her want to do everything by the book. Katy Perry

19. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/02 **#2**
This former Northeast Housewife still has not left her cheating husband and he just keeps on cheating. This time with someone barely legal. Kristen and Josh Taekman ("Real Housewives of New York City")

20. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/02 **#3**
This former A+ list mostly movie actress who is an Academy Award winner/nominee basically shamed her friends into spending thousands of dollars each the other night on her side project. I bet there are going to be a whole lot of returns. Gwyneth Paltrow (GOOP pop-up shop opening)

21. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/02 **#4**
The guy who washed the car of this former Disney actor turned A/A- list mostly movie actor said he assumed the owner of the car was a drug dealer and not an actor because there was so much product in his car. It was only when he pointed it out to someone else at work that he learned the owner was our actor. Shia LaBeouf

22. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/02 **#5**
This very tall movie funnyman not named Vince Vaughn is cheating on his long long time wife. This split will make some noise. Will Ferrell/Viveca Paulin

23. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/02 **#6**
KINDNESS: This soon to be A list mostly movie actress after spending the past few years relegated to A- list status has a new movie coming out which always makes me cynical about kindness items. Turns out though, she does the same thing every year, movie or not. She walks into a community center by her home and drops off a check for $100K. She has been doing it for almost a decade. Natalie Portman ("Jackie")

24. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/02 **#7**
I don’t know if he has given up being closeted for the holidays or what, but this A- list mostly movie actor who lost one franchise but is hanging on in another was out with his boyfriend and they were being affectionate earlier this week. Jeremy Renner (holding onto: "Avengers") (lost: "Bourne 6" and "Mission: Impossible")

25. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/02 **#8**
Instead of going to the studio for hair and makeup, this A list reality host somehow got it written into her contract that when appearing on any program owned by the media conglomerate that they have to come to her home, even if it is 3 a.m. Padma Lakshmi ("Top Chef")

26. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/02 **#9**
This permanent A list singer who has been in this space frequently as of late pulled off a very tricky maneuver yesterday. She managed to wiggle and writhe her way out of her panties while seated at a table. She said they were bothering her so she took them off and then just left them sitting on the table. When an assistant came over to remove them, our singer told her to leave them there for the world to see. Mariah Carey

27. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/02 **#10**
This foreign born A- list mostly movie actor who is an Academy Award winner and in a current release lies even when he doesn’t have to. He is so concerned with having the perfect PR image that he makes up lies to fit the image has created. Eddie Redmayne (riding London Tube)

28. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/02 **#11**
It wasn’t a cold that was causing this aging one named singer to keep rubbing her nose. She has been pretty good about keeping the partying quiet. This was a change from that. Madonna

29. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/02 **#12**
This closeted A list athlete with A+ list name recognition in his sport got rebuffed again in an attempt to find a beard. Apparently this actress turned him down because he would want her to go to strip clubs with him because he wants the world to see them in a certain way. He should have known better. Odell Beckham Jr./Zendaya

30. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/02 **#13**
Many times in shipperdom, the two people wanted together never happens. As much as fans might want it or write fan fic about it, the relationship they want, never seems to materialize. This is why you should stick with Jingle All The Way fan fic. It never lets you down. Anyway, not withstanding what I wrote a sentence ago, sometimes an onscreen couple does hook up in real life too. He had always had his eyes on her. Even when he had girlfriends, even when he was married. She was spoken for when they were working together and after, and to him she was like a forbidden fruit. Plus their fans would practically hail him as a hero if he did ‘get’ her. You can blame their on-screen chemistry for the fans who believe they belong together forever even when they were in relationships with other people. They did eventually get together. Don’t let him fool you, though. He loves himself more than he loved her. His image was more important to him than her. He used her several times: to drum up publicity for his company and panels and podcasts, to appease their fanbase, to name a few. Even against her wishes to keep things private. Things started going south when he started ditching her for people he barely knew. Party here, party there, game here, movie there. She, on the other hand, was always there for him. One time she flew cross-country to support one of his endeavors but he left her alone in her suite to go out with his friends. Did not even bother to invite her. She was livid. But that did not stop him. He did it over and over and had the nerve to dump her. Worse? He expected her to wait in case he decided to take her back. After a very depressing few months for both of them he started trying to win her back. She had her walls up this time. She would do things that were good for both of them, but did them for herself and not for him. He started to go off the rails in his public comments about people and fans and started getting the kind of publicity that takes you down and doesn’t let you get back up. Apparently the catalyst was her not taking him back as he assumed she would. Things have gone from bad to worse for them personally and now professionally he is trying to convince the fans that she is an awful person. That the reason they are not together is because of how horrible she is. That he is somehow Mr. Perfect and that she should be lucky to be with him. He throws her under the bus every chance he gets while sleeping with as many of his fans as possible. The fans all want the show to continue either in a series format or a movie. He has been telling them it is going to happen. He encourages that kind of talk so people continue to fawn over him. When the series or movie fails to materialize, he is going to blame her to really drive a stake into her at least from a fandom perspective.

The biggest talk about this former tweener turned adult bad actress/decent adult singer is not so much her rehab, but everyone wondering if her coke use would destroy what everyone considers to have been one of the best nose jobs ever done in a city filled with them. Selena Gomez

32. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/03 **#2**
This former A+ list mostly movie actor who has turned into an A lister who also directs is becoming the person he swore he would never be. He is a nonstop publicity seeking actor who can’t stop promoting himself and his side projects which does not leave much time for movie promotion. Sean Penn

33. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/03 **#3**
Not happy with the pay or the billing, this B+ list singer/rapper had someone pose as our B+ lister at a show. Just lip synched all the songs. Jeremih

34. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/03 **#4**
This late night talk show host is bad mouthing his former friend, an actress/stand up comedienne. He thinks she is trash. He has tried to ban her from every show on the family of networks where he works. Andy Cohen/Chelsea Handler

35. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/04 **#1**
Their remarriage would last about a month. Last time they (permanent A listers) tried to rekindle their romance a couple of years ago, she was left devastated when she found out he was still having sex with multiple women each week. Sean Penn/Madonna

36. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/04 **#2**
This still a teen A-/B+ list mostly movie actress already has one fake relationship under her belt. Well, the other party didn’t know it was fake. Anyway, our actress doesn’t want any Olsen type photos coming out of her grandfathered age lover so is thinking about being the beard for this foreign born A- list singer. Chlo� Grace Moretz (fake: Brooklyn Beckham)/Shawn Mendes

37. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/04 **#3**
This Academy Award winning actor was wasted out of his mind at an award show. He kept going up to women and asking if they wanted to be grabbed by the pu**y. No one took him up on his offer. He was at his worse. Cuba Gooding Jr.

38. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/04 **#4**
Producers from this Bravo franchise have been trying to get publicists to send their clients to where cast are filming so they can get various celebrities on film and then use their appearance to boost the very low ratings of the show. "Real Housewives of New York City"

39. THE GOSSIP LIFE 12/05
Our A-list actor may be known for their antics and histrionics, but none of that was apparent on the set of their highly anticipated movie. '[name omitted] was on best behaviour,' says the source. 'This is the first high profile job they've had in a couple of years and they don't wanna mess it up.' Russell Crowe ("The Mummy")

40. NAUGHTY GOSSIP 12/05
Which Real Housewife Is Addicted To Laxatives? This long-time cast member is addicted with her weight and being skinny and is also addicted to laxatives. She takes so many each day that she is constantly pooping her pants and always running to the bathroom. At first the other ladies thought she had a coke problem, but in reality it is a laxatives problem. She literally is FULL OF SH** Bethenny Frankel ("Real Housewives of New York City")

42. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/05 **#2**
The director of this charity is known for finding young (generally in their late teens) actresses and seducing them to his cause. Oh, and he also has sex with them. He basically ruined almost a decade in the career of one actress who was A- list at the time and now is doing the same to a foreign born actress who is a B lister.

44. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/05 **#4**
This foreign born one shot wonder actress/part-time model is telling friends she is pregnant. One group she has not told is her family who will probably disown her for getting pregnant out of wedlock. No one from Eastern Europe. Freida Pinto ("Slumdog Millionaire")

46. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/05 **#6**
She won’t replace her celebrity boyfriend until she has a new drug supply, but that doesn’t mean this A- list singer known to be annoying isn’t willing to continue yachting. It is one of her favorite money making activities and much more lucrative than the gig she performed in the same town. She always says yes to this town, no matter how obscure the performance or how low the pay. Ariana Grande (Miami Beach)

47. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/05 **#7**
To say this former A+ list singer who is permanently A list and permanently has A+ list name recognition was out of it this weekend would be an understatement. Her people knew she would be forced to interact more than normal and they did something wrong because she was all over the place. Manic almost. Britney Spears

48. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/05 **#8**
This A- list singer/part-time actress is trying to get some PR for her new music and tour and is leaking that she is buying Sharon Tate memorabilia. Umm. She thinks it makes her sound edgy and cool. Lady Gaga

49. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/05 **#9**
Award season is 50/50 for this host/producer/mogul and whether he needs a beard. Usually he confines himself to the summer. This year though he had a special favor so, in return, she gets to be his "girlfriend" through award season and all the after parties. After their last run together, she had a massive boost in her income. Ryan Seacrest/Shayna Taylor

50. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/05 **#10**
You know, there will be a day that comes soon when readers of tabloids and viewers of entertainment news will wonder why the media outlets continue to drive a story that someone is straight when they know they aren’t. Give you an example, there is someone at this grammatically excitable network that had sex every day for months with this B+ list mostly movie actor who used to be in a franchise. In West Hollywood, it was as open as any other same sex relationship. However, even though the people at the network knew about it and behind the scenes loved them as a couple, the network is always on board with telling the world about his new girlfriend. You don’t have to out someone, but why do you keep telling such blatant lies.
Network: E!/Ryan Seacrest
B+ list actor: Taylor Lautner ("Twilight")
Lie: Relationship with "Scream Queens" co-star Billie Lourd

52. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/05 **#12**
This foreign born mostly television actor broke rule #1 in Hollywood. He walked away from a hit show. I mean, they barely filmed a couple of months a year and he still walked away from it. Anyway, he has his own show now. He told the producers that any women hired for roles must be young and hot. The only size they are allowed to have is in their breasts. The guy is such a tool. Dan Stevens ("Downton Abbey") ("Legion")

53. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/05 **#13**
All of you know this actress. Most, if not all of you have watched something she has appeared in. If she walked up to you today, you would recognize her and probably know her name too. Why then, with all of that going for her, has she only worked once or twice in the past five years? Here’s the thing, everyone is always willing to give her a chance. When producers hear her rate, they bring her in quickly. It is not that often you get to hire someone so inexpensively who has been in hit television and movies. It is only when they bring her in, they realize why she is so cheap. She is eclectic. She is always interested in making sure she stands out from everyone else. She wants the light to shine on her. She has some shyness issues to go with some anger issues to go with some rejection issues. They all spill out all over the place everywhere at once. A few years ago, she was on a show as a main cast member. It was the first time in a long time someone gave her a shot in television. She can’t do the weekly grind. Sometimes producers have been willing to roll the dice on a movie because, if she can pull it off, she is still worth it. It is getting through that process that is awful. On a movie though, there is hope. On the television show, there was none. It was not awful. It was not great. It was one of those non offensive shows that pass the time in the background of your home and if everyone makes nice can last long enough on television to make everyone rich. From day one though, our B list actress had script notes and wanted to talk to the network minders. Each day became worse. The directors for each episode all wanted to quit television after working with her. Everyone talked about killing her off or finding a replacement., but the audience always loves her. She is their friend. It just got to be too much and one day, the network actually canceled the show along with a few others. The others actually got sacrificed just so it wouldn’t like they were singling out this show and have her raise a fuss. Minnie Driver ("About A Boy"/NBC cancelled on May 8, 2015 along with "A to Z", "Allegiance", "Bad Judge", "State of Affairs", "Constantine", "Marry Me", "One Big Happy")

54. SERIAL SCOOP 12/06
In the world of daytime soap operas, the drama isn't always in front of the camera. And sometimes it's so juicy the names can't be revealed, at least not yet. Below are some recent items that insiders are talking about, when they think no one is listening.

1. This performer who didn't take the hint that he/she needed acting lessons, is out the door once his/her contract expires in the next couple of months. Vivian Jovanni ("Days Of Our Lives"/Ciara)

2. This performer is currently in the middle of a major frontburner story. However, if his/her attitude doesn't improve, he/she will be without a job soon. Thorsten Kaye ("The Bold and the Beautiful")

3. This performer desperately wants back on his/her old show. Although it seems possible now based on recent story, it's not going to happen for him/her. People have long memories. Michael Muhaney ("The Young and the Restless"/Adam Newman/Adam Wilson)

4. This performer turned down a recent invitation to return to his/her show for a guest appearance. He/she didn't like that the projected story didn't revolve around his/her character. Alison Sweeney ("Days of Our Lives"/Sami Brady/wedding of John and Marlena)

55. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/06 **#1**
A studio is hoping for big things next summer from this movie reboot of a television classic. What they want stopped right now is the bubbling to the surface open warfare between some of the stars of the movie who all seem to have it in for each other and could make the press tour a complete shambles. "Baywatch"

56. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/06 **#2**
The first few days of filming have been intense. This married, foreign born mostly movie actress who is an Academy Award winner/nominee and her foreign born A- list dual threat actor have been very touchy feely. He is always up for fun, whether he has a girlfriend or not and she doesn’t seem to be holding back either. Lots of sparks. Kate Winslet/Idris Elba ("The Mountain Between Us")

57. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/06 **#3**
This beloved actress from that back in the day television show has had a rough few years on and off drugs. The actress, who is B+ list and an Academy Award winner/nominee has been sober for a few weeks now and at a party this weekend was doing amazing. Hopefully, she can stay clean throughout 2017 because a lot of people would love to offer her roles, but are afraid of her past issues. Michelle Williams ("Dawson’s Creek")

60. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/06 **#6**
This closeted female A list reality star with a side gig had a fling this past weekend with a female song writer who none of you would get. Well, you would if I gave you the songs. Much, much older than our reality star. Kendall Jenner/Kim Gordon (Art Basel in Miami)

61. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/06 **#7**
Apparently last week, this getting to be permanent A list one named singer had an interesting cocktail hour with this foreign born A+ list celebrity who is A+ list everywhere in the world. She chain smoked joints and had wine and he sipped on a few straight whiskeys. Sunset and a beach and about 40 security staff who kept their distance. Rihanna/Prince Harry

63. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/06 **#9**
This foreign born A list model with the very hard name to spell was doing lines in front of several elementary school age children. She told the person with her that the kids had no idea what it was so it was fine. Doutzen Kroes

64. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/06 **#10**
Honestly, you would think she would be color blind, but she isn’t. This foreign born former model turned reality star turned kind of a momager definitely favors one high earning offspring over another of her high earning offspring. Apparently it all comes down to the less liked daughter dating a guy the mom considered to be too dark skinned which is kind of surprising given the history of the mom. Yolanda Hadid (Gigi Hadid/Bella Hadid/"The Weeknd")

65. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/06 **#11**
This former late night actress is not a fan of this current late night actress. The former thinks that she is losing lots of parts to the latter which is true. If the former would start being friendly to people, she might have a better shot at landing roles. No one wants to work with her while everyone loves loves working with the latter. Kristen Wiig/Kate McKinnon

66. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/06 **#12**
This celebrity offspring is only even a celebrity because of dad. Honestly, he was pretty low on the list and she is lower. They both survive by that last name. She used to have it made financially. A little modeling work and a guy who took care of her in exchange for sex. He has moved on which has forced her to try and find more modeling work and also she has to see multiple guys to make up the difference. Not helping is that she is strung out. Hailey Baldwin (Stephen Baldwin)

67. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/06 **#13**
#1 – If they watch it, this cable show on a patriotic sounding channel is probably in everyone’s top 5 tv show. The lead actor in the show is on a rampage right now. Apparently he takes crazy psychotic drugs to help him with his character but they also make him over the top violent and shaking for much of the time. He has to take a ton of depressants before he can do any interview. He is a scary guy. Rami Malek ("Mr. Robot")

#2 – Two superhero shows on the same almost television channel for this married actor. He is pretty hot and heavy with the lead actress from the show that led to the second. Mike Colter/Krysten Ritter ("Jessica Jones", "Luke Cage" and "The Defenders")

#3 – Multiple seasons now of this cable show. The foreign born actor lead of the show had some fame in his own country with a show, but this role is his breakout here. He plays an a-hole on his show and it is not much of a stretch for him to pull off. The cast and crew are grateful the seasons are so short. No one likes the guy. In fact, they all kind of actively hate him. Dominic West ("The Wire") ("The Affair")

68. THE GOSSIP LIFE 12/06
We've heard of goldfinger. We've even heard of goldmember. We haven't, however, heard of a random room in a mansion that's decorated with nothing but gilded furniture, ornaments and paintings. Apparently this A-list enigma has a room in his home just like that. 'He calls it his 'awards room,' says my witness. 'He only shows it to select people. His awards are on little golden pillows, surrounded by gold. I didn't know someone could make so much success look so tacky.' Donald Trump

69. THE GOSSIP LIFE 12/07
This comes from a source that once shared a hotel with this maybe A-list actress. He alleges that although they were fairly far apart in location, he could still hear the beautiful, filthy bitch whenever she was getting freaky with it. 'It sounded like she was being murdered,' he says. 'It's a miracle that no one called 911.' Angelina Jolie

70. ALL ABOUT THE TEA 12/07
This reality mom claims that her divorce crucified her family — but secretly knows that she is to blame. She testifies that she loves her babies — but her own signature reveals the truth. Legal documents spelled out an ultimatum. She had to choose between a priceless blessing and a reality career. Fame came in first, so she crossed out her own flesh and blood. Her ex-husband could publicly nail her for her sin but chooses to keep the peace. The star forgives herself with distractions and soulful tears but the pain she has caused others cuts deep. Her weighty choice has been legally etched in stone — her better reflection sacrificed for TV fame. Tamra Judge ("Real Housewives of Orange County")/Simon Barney

71. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/07 **#1**
What do you do when you have no money coming in and your family refuses to give you any more? If you are this dad of an A+ list singer, you announce an auction to sell a bunch of videos of her. Matthew Knowles/Beyonc�

72. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/07 **#2**
The plan for this B list drunken celebrity to get cut off and go to jail for not paying a bill was thwarted when a family member stepped in at the last minute and offered up her own credit card via the phone. The former athlete needs help, and this would have sent him to jail, but some in the family don’t want to be that extreme. Johnny Manziel

73. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/07 **#3**
Apparently no amount of time is going to help the relationship between this foreign born A+ list singer and this stateside born A+ list singer. They just don’t like each other at all and this week there was some serious trolling done by the foreign born singer of the other singer. Rihanna/Beyonc�

75. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/07 **#5**
It is a shame. This former A list fruit named singer is back on drugs and it is even worse than last time. She just has never got her life back on track since her sudden fame. Fiona Apple

77. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/07 **#7**
While this foreign born A- list singer who sometimes climbs back up to A list was out of the country, her A- list celebrity significant other was spending some time with a very expensive escort. Shakira/Gerard Piqu�

78. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/07 **#8**
This foreign born former A list "singer" from a group is still A list. She has been getting procedures done to her face to try and make her look younger but they just are making her look abnormal. She is always scared her A+ list husband is going to leave her. Victoria "Posh" Beckham/David

80. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/07 **#10**
It is a war of words and competing leaked stories from the PR team of this foreign born A- list model who wants to act and the PR team of this A+ list mostly movie actor. They each are trying to get their own angle out there. I don’t care what angle you want, someone still needs to go on Maury. Irina Shayk/Bradley Cooper

81. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/07 **#11**
Apparently this A list designer and this hanging on to A- list mostly movie actress who is an Academy Award winner/nominee are in a big battle. The two have been friends for decades but the actress wore someone else to a very important event and the two have not spoken since.

83. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/07 **#13**
A couple of weeks ago I had a chance to reminisce with someone I hadn’t seen in five or six years. The last time we hung out was the year she won a Grammy. I doubt any of you will guess who she is. Unless you listen to a lot of CCM, you probably have no idea who she is. Let us call her BL. BL got into the industry in her late teens. Right around her 18th birthday. BL has always been very religious and had the "look" most desired in the CCM industry. Blonde, with pale skin who every guy wanted to have sex with, but who the guy’s significant other would not find threatening. She got her first job in a band because of those looks. Oh, sure she could play an instrument, but the band needed someone female and she fit the model. Some CCM labels have their models more defined. In addition to being blonde with pale skin, your measurements have to be within certain parameters. They don’t want the women to be too sexy. Anyway, BL was on tour with the band that hired her and they opened for this A list singer who was A list back in the day when this happened and is A list now. Back in the day it was A list everywhere and now is probably A list in her world. Let us call her ES. It was the first or second week, BL had been on tour and she had run into the husband of ES. He was also a singer. He began flirting with BL all the time. It was incessant. Just heavy heavy flirting and BL was really uncomfortable with it. First, she had led a very sheltered home schooled kind of life and she had just turned 18 and was on the road and this guy who she knew from his records was flirting with her. Plus, he was married and married to ES, who BL had worshiped for years. BL confided in the leader of the group who she was playing for and he told her he would take care of it. The next thing you know, BL is being called to the suite of ES and ES yells at her for trying to steal the husband of ES. BL is crying and insisting she did no such thing. I mean, BL is totally unprepared for this type of situation. The berating goes on for almost an hour. During this she says that the opening band could get kicked off the tour because of the actions of BL. Finally, ES says she will pray about her decision and will call BL when she decides. About an hour later, BL is called and told to go back to ES’ suite. When she arrives, ES said that after praying about it, she decided that BL and the band could stay, but BL was going to have to prove herself. Again, BL is in way over her head here. ES says the flirting is causing a lot of tension and that ES’s husband has not been able to focus and blames BL. In order to get all that out of the way, it would probably be a good idea for BL and ES; husband to have sex. ES will watch to make sure everything goes OK. Now, at this point, BL is saving herself for marriage and has no idea what to do. When she hesitated though, ES told her she didn’t have to have sex but that BL and the band would be kicked off the tour. BL ended up having sex with the husband of ES and had to have sex with him every night of the tour while ES watched. BL was also coerced into doing some coke and booze and was told her parents and her church would be told of all of it if she ever said anything. BL has never spoken to ES since the end of that tour. Apparently, there are thousands of women out there that have similar stories to BL. She runs into them all the time. Primarily they are hired as backup singers during summers between school years. The focus is always on women from college. No younger and no older.
BL: Laura Story (Best Contemporary Christian Music Song ("Blessings")
ES: Amy Grant (husband Gary Chapman) (hit song: "El Shaddai")

He is a superhero. She is a superhero. They usually appear together when appearing as superheroes. Everyone always assumes she has at least an Oscar nom if not a win, but she doesn’t. Anyway, they hooked up on set a few times on their last film and it messed up their friendship to the point where they don’t speak. I don’t think her husband knows.

97. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/08 **#12**
Having to make a buck somehow but not wanting to go on a lengthy tour, this former A+ list singer had a high paying gig this past week. The genius of it on her part is that she got her "yachting" fee paid as part of her singing performance out of the country so it all looks like a normal business transaction. Her significant other is totally on board because he doesn’t want the money train to ever stop. Lately it has been sputtering though. A lot. Christina Aguilera (in Russia)

In the wreckage that has been the new fall television season, one show didn’t last very long at all. If you know the history of the lad actress it is really not that big of a shock. She had a surefire hit also canceled in fairly quick order. She is working her way out of one of the biggest, farthest reaching franchises and it is all about drugs. Not the traditional drugs you might find on set. No coke or meth or pills or pot. Nope. Our actress, who is foreign born, goes for the natural type of drugs. She prefers hallucinogenic drugs. Traditional. Herbal. Natural. The thing is, the ones she uses almost every person who knows about them refuses to use them because of what they can do to you. Our actress has been known to be up for four or five days straight after taking some of them. During those four or five days she would often film and have no idea what she filmed or even that she was filming until she saw it afterwards. Sometimes it would work out fine but other times it looked like her body was possessed. People were afraid to go near her or talk to her. It could be very frightening. When she would come off these drugs she would often take something to keep her down and this would cause her to sleep for a day or two and miss call times and not show up at all for work. She says they are a part of her life and her being. Well, as of right now, she is going to have a lot of time to enjoy them because no one is hiring.
Actress: Hayley Atwell (her father is a shaman)
Fall season TV show: "Conviction"

Get a therapist in here! The set for this A-list sequel will be an absolute mess, according to my source.

'The ensemble barely survived the previous movie.' "Pitch Perfect 3"

It was one of the biggest shows of all time, but you wouldn't think it when it comes to petty cash. One of the lead A-list leads requested their credit was changed in the opening sequence, so it could included her marital surname.

The thing is though, she lets you know and was telling everyone about how her work on her almost television show set for a new season soon was derailed by the acting abilities of her co-stars. She gave the producers notes about how the cast could improve relative to her performance and blah blah blah all night. Michelle Monaghan ("The Path")

127. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/12 **#6**
CRITICS CHOICE AWARDS: I almost feel sorry for this A-/B+ list mostly television actress who only gets that high because of the length of time her show has been on the air. She has slowly seen the world look at other actresses her age and she doesn’t get the attention any longer. She is no longer the new face. The good news is she didn’t go for any of her attention grabbing tricks. I think she is maturing. Sarah Hyland ("Modern Family")

Ryan Reynolds (Blake Lively)

132. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/12 **#11**
This former A+ list tweener turned adult singer better be careful when he is playing around with all of the guns he bought. He gets drunk or wasted and loads his guns up.

133. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/12 **#12**
It must be kind of embarrassing for this singer to have to be monitored when with her child(ren). It must be especially so when it is a public event. The monitor is also a nanny, so that is a good cover story explaining her presence. Fergie

Hopefully the movie will be something special because the destruction in its wake is epic. Right at the start of 2016, this A-/B+ list mostly movie actor who is an Academy Award winner/nominee took on a project with this A-/B+ list mostly movie actress who is a multiple Academy Award winner/nominee. The two subjects of our blind also share another trait in the acting world. Anyway, the two had shared a spark when they worked together previously, but nothing happened. At the time they first worked together, he was married and she was in a long term relationship. When they reunited early this year, their relationship situations were identical, but this time they took the friendship into something way more. The next thing you know, even before they started filming the movie they are full on having sex whenever they get a chance. Hotel rooms under fake names. She is bringing him to family owned properties across the country. They are doing this while juggling relationships. He didn’t do a very good job and his wife busted him and kicked him out. That was a wake up call to the actress who called it quits on the relationship. Fast forward a few months when they start filming and the two start hooking up again. This time though, she gets busted and ends up calling it off with her boyfriend. So, this means our two subjects are free to be with each other. Right? Well, the actor didn’t see it that way and for the first time in forever he is single. He is also way more famous than the last time he was single. He has sex with everyone which makes the actress feel worthless. He is coming to the set with lipstick and hickeys on his body. After filming wrapped he did find someone he called his girlfriend but he cheats. A lot. He cheated as recently as last night on her.

Gather round, Gossipers, for I have something to tell you. Do you remember that big, shocking romance of 2016 that didn't make it to the end of the year? Well, it was all fake! One of the A-list participants actually already had a girlfriend, according to my source, and the girlfriend wasn't happy at her man partaking in a showmance when they were supposed to be together. 'She was tipping off the Sun and the Daily Mail about their relationship,' whispers the source. 'Fortunately his PR team already had a agreement with the Sun and the Daily Mail, and they let his publicist know about the girlfriend's conspiring. It caused a huge argument between the publicity teams and the showmance soon ended, so the girlfriend got what she wanted in the end.' Taylor Swift/Tom Hiddleston

Short and sweet, but super juicy. This foreign born permanent A lister spread a ton of cash around and bought a family member a pretty big nomination. I say a ton of cash, but I guess in the scheme of things and what the nomination could mean, it might not seem like it. There were ten stacks of $50K given to ten people who then passed around enough to get the votes and kept the rest for themselves. Lily Collins (Phil Collins) (Golden Globe nomination for "Rules Don’t Apply")

149. THE GOSSIP LIFE 12/14
Keep this quiet, Gossipers, because even his wife doesn't know. I always have a hard time with blind items about affairs. I've got no problem with publishing a blind about an affair when the wife knows or the relationship is long over, but blind items about active affairs when one of the partner is still unaware rub me the wrong way. I think it dates back to last year when I published a blind about an affair and a 'friend' of the wife's emailed us about it. Then, of course, Sam or Scott remind me that I'm a shameless gossip hound and if I wanted to have dignity and self-respect, I wouldn't have entered the journalism arena to begin with. Our actor is television A-list on one of the hottest shows on the screen. People like him. He's considered a good actor and something of a family man. He's stepping out on his non famous wife with a famous woman (who even we don't know the identity of). His wife has no idea and my source swears that she's so trusting of her other half that it's likely she never will.

#1 – The parents of this B- list child actress only let her eat a third of the calories a day she should be eating. They are trying to permanently change her metabolism. What they are doing is giving her an eating disorder and slowly killing her.

#2 – This is coming from her side and not his, but this foreign born A-/B+ list network actress says she ended up making out with this married foreign born permanent A lister. She says he had a lot of lines and is definitely charming but she is shocked they made out. She also says he never asked her for her contact information and didn’t offer his information.

So, he went to each one and offered to pay for all their stuff if they would let him go in front. Well, each person of course said yes. The actor went to the front and told the two cashiers what he was doing and who he was doing it for. He paid for his items and left his credit card info and was out the door in five minutes instead of twenty. It did cost him $4000 though. William H. Macy

A popular R&B singer is planning to come out of the closet soon, but his handlers worry that coming out now would destroy his career. His handlers note that other young black singers courageously came out of the closet, only to see their careers sink like the Titanic. But the singer says he is a mature adult and he is tired of hiding his truth. He knows that the music industry is particularly harsh to young black men who are openly gay, especially former boy band singers. There are more closeted black men in the entertainment industry than heterosexual. But most of them cower in their closets — hiding behind their wives or girlfriends, because they’re afraid of losing their straight female fan base. Lloyd ("N-Toon"); Omarion ("B2K")

164. JEZEBEL 12/15
What it means to be a woman is on many American women’s minds right now, since our current presidential election is playing out like a gender studies course simulation. Even Chelsea Handler is not immune, and she used an episode of her show Chelsea to explore some of the issues women think about. Her guests definitely narrow the exploration of what constitutes women’s issues. While there’s plenty of valid criticism for how the gender pay gap isn’t going to be closed by rich white actresses, an anecdote Hilary Swank tells about how she was paid earlier in her career is still fairly shocking. She explains that she only made $3,000 for her Academy Award-winning performance in Boys Don’t Cry, which didn’t even qualify her for health insurance. After her second Oscar win, she was offered a part across from a male lead who had recently become "hot," but had no critical acclaim. He was paid $10 million and she was offered $500,000. After she turned down the role, the part was given to an upcoming actress who was paid only $50,000.

We're getting to award season and that means high visibility for our nominated actors and actresses. One A-list actress in particular is feeling the pressure. She's scheduled a series of non-invasive surgeries over the next couple of months and is determined to be looking her very best come Oscar night. Nicole Kidman

166. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/15 **#1**
This A-/B+ mostly movie actress from an acting family has been silently enduring a very subtle but ever growing transformation. She has always had issues with her birth assigned gender, but due to her very conservative background and, later in her life, her acting career, she had to keep this undercover and had tried many times throughout her life to conform to being a girl (she even used to be very feminine during a good period). It was a certain role (which by the way she contended hard for) in which she could explore a more gender-fluid appearance and demeanor, that she had the chance to experiment with a more authentic self. Ever since then, she’s been struggling to keep the glamourous and lady-like appeal demanded from her. However, due to a tremendous emotional turmoil, related and unrelated to her intimate problem, the past months have been hell on earth to her. She drifted away from close people, made some other bad choices, and even made a public appearance a few months ago covered with fresh scars on her arm. She’s very depressed and lonely but has no one she feels she could reach out to and tell the truth.

The boozing is getting out of control for this A-/B+ list mostly movie actress with A list name recognition who won’t ever be able to shake that franchise. When you are pulling Jimmy Fallon’s you need rehab. Desperately. Kristen Stewart ("Twilight")

175. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/15 **#10**
This B- list one named singer who was briefly A list back in the day has been trying to get publicity using the name of someone who is permanently A list. It made me think of a time about four years ago, or maybe 5 when the B- lister wanted to make a comeback and she ended up having sex with the father of the permanent A lister because she thought he could/would help her career. Nope. He just was in it for the sex. Ashanti/Matthew Knowles (Beyonce’s father)

It took me a little bit of time to finally put this all together, and if you watch this particular home shopping channel, then you will probably find this very fascinating. If you don’t, well, it sounds like something that would happen on any random movie set, but these things just don’t usually happen in the world of home shopping. There was a favorite on this channel. Every person who watched the network loved her. The thing is, she was hooking up with one of the top 3 people at the company. At some point he decided to trade her in for someone younger. Well, no one said he is a nice guy. The thing is though, he didn’t tell her he was looking for someone new. It didn’t take him long to find another host on the network. This host was just starting out and was supposed to get the horrible shifts. Those late night, overnight, no one wants shifts. Instead of having to do those shifts for a year or two though, she only had to do them for a couple of weeks. Why? She started having sex with the boss. The next thing you know, those overnight shifts were being filled by the long time popular host. It was at that point she realized the guy was sleeping with the new host. It took her all of two weeks before she decided to quit, but not before she played hardball with the network about what was going on. Apparently she had some very good dirt and could prove why she was being sent to overnights. She got a very large check and then quietly said goodbye to the network. Meanwhile, the boss was never fired and he is still hooking up with the newer host. Until someone else comes along. Albany Irving (Elise Ivy)

Hillary Clinton might not be the only one facing a big upset. Award season is underway and the experts have predicted the likely winners and nominees.

179. ALL ABOUT THE TEA 12/16
Living in the spotlight has this reality star crying foul. She loves dishing it out, but can’t take the heat. She boozes heavily, spilling her jabber all over social media — but comes unglued when fans and blogs slap her back. She runs to network execs — squawking about being the butt of secrets exposed. She swears that a bruised ego doesn’t hurt, but her tattling protests reveal the truth. She vows that her happiness is over the moon — but craves fan affirmation to beat down the grey areas of doubt. Network voices placate her anxiety, renewing her hope for positive feedback. Her groove is a setup for misery…but she just can’t help herself. Shannon Beador ("Real Housewives of Orange County")

What annoying social climber of a late night host tried to get this comedienne blackballed, with the help of an ancient gossip columnist who I will call Miss Haversham, after they blabbed to the comedienne’s former network about how she obtained that gig she was fired from? The fact that he also duped the producer and several writers of the gig to believe his lies makes this even more despicable. He is vile.

184. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/16 **#1**
This foreign born B+ list dual threat actress has a franchise that is starting again after being dormant for quite some time. I think the lead actor finally got a handle on his hair plug issue. Anyway, she wants to go public with her relationship with the A-/B+ list cable tv actor. He is cool with that but is also seeing someone from his show which he won’t give up. Our actress would end up looking like she broke up another relationship which is not what she needs right now. Diane Kruger ("National Treasure")/Norman Reedus ("The Walking Dead")

This foreign born billionaire looks like he will have to cough up at least $5M to his permanent A list former girlfriend. He had her cancel a gig that would have made him look bad.

I have heard of some strange clothing fetishes in my day, but this one is right up there. It involves an A list singer. I know she didn’t do it during her marriage, but since her marriage ended, it has been one of her mainstays. Maybe it is her reaction to not having a very good marriage. If she is at home, she will only have sex after wearing a wedding dress. OK, she will also have sex while wearing the wedding dress. This is a wedding dress she bought at some point but did not wear to her wedding. The dress is worn out. She will leave it on for an entire weekend if she is with someone just because she does not want to bother with taking it on and off every time they have sex. It apparently reeks of pot and cigarette smoke. There are food stains and other kind of stains. Not going to take an ultraviolet light to that thing if you know what I am saying. Sometimes she seems so normal and then you hear about things like this and some other strange things she does in her life and you start to wonder just how normal she really is. Katy Perry

Our favorite closeted former B+ list mostly television actor from a now defunct hit network show went on a drunken rant about one of his former co-stars.

So, let me get this straight. The photographer you have been secretly sleeping with for much of 2016 is also your trigger. So, you (former tweener turned A- list singer/bad actress) go get "sober," and then decide the best course of action is to have him move into your place, because yeah, that should work out fine.

Maybe next time this A- list mostly movie actress who is an Academy Award winner will allow her nannies to enter the first class/VIP lounge. The other passengers would probably appreciate it instead of watching the children of the actress throw food around the room and knocking over plates and tables. Our actress was on the phone trying to arrange a pap walk when she landed. Oh, and she should be careful because the big fat check she gets from one airline will be in danger if they find out she was using/prefers the lounge of another airline.

OLD HOLLYWOOD: Despite giving some of the best performances of her career, the executives at this network hated this permanent A lister who has a permanent A list offspring. The network executives hated her and when a project turned out to not be the ratings bonanza they thought it would be, made her life miserable. They cut her budget and had writers create more and more skits that made her look awful. They reveled in destroying her. Judy Garland (CBS/"The Judy Garland Show")

There is a huge behind the scenes battle going on right now about a movie that this A-/B+ list mostly movie actress you all know, is filming. Her people want her to stay on the film or to be able to spin why she leaves if she does. The producers just want her gone. Her behavior is out of control and she is bringing the film down with her.

By my count, this reality family has shown off 14 new animals they have acquired over the years.

Not exactly the best time for a staged pap shot, but this former B+ list mostly movie actress never gets to go out in public with the foreign born A+ list actor everyone calls her boyfriend.

Umm, this is just getting weird. This former Disney actress who loves a good bikini in front of some paps is at it again. Three consecutive "relationships" for publicity, all with guys who prefer guys, but choose not to come out of the closet. Since she always has a pap with her or a phone call away, the guy get publicity and she keeps thing fresh by dating a new guy every few months. Of course, the tabloids dutifully report it like it is all real. Bella Thorne/Charlie Puth

212. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/19 **#10**
It turns out it is possible for this A+ list mostly movie actress who is an Academy Award winner/nominee to dislike a co-star more than the tall actor she made a movie with that you probably watch. That current Academy Award winning/nominated co-star she is doing press with right now continues to make her scream on almost daily basis. There was the excessive pot use and his failure to shower all that often, to his constant use of the word darlin’ when speaking to her or about her to others.

214. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/19 **#12**
Over the years I have given this A list mostly movie actress a lot of grief in the blinds. She has had some very poor relationship choices and, despite her fondness for some illicit drugs, she is an actress who should have an Academy Award or at least a nomination. The good news is she has a franchise so, she has that going for her for the next half decade. Our actress is married. This past weekend, and old friend of mine ran into the actress at an event out of the country. My friend and the actress share some past directors and also have a connection with where our actress was this past weekend. They had a nice chat and then my friend wandered through the party and got involved in a conversation with a few other people. Apparently the subject when she walked up was that everyone was shocked the A lister even attended the party. For much of the past week, the A lister has been working almost 24/7 at a center where several hundred refugees have been living until they can get settled. She shares no common language with them but has made it a personal mission to take care of each of the families. She is working with the government of the country to pay for apartments for the families to stay and to get people she knows in the industry to hire as many of the working age people. Plus, she has personally hired a dozen of them, even though she is struggling to find work for them to do. She has reached out to other businesses and convinced many of them to hire one or two each. Everyone at the party loved that she was doing it for no reward other than the thanks of the people she was helping. Scarlett Johansson (on USO tour in Afghanistan)

215. "THE SCARLETT LETTERS" 12/19
by Oli Coleman
A dominatrix has revealed how Hollywood insiders get their kinky kicks without getting caught. "Mistress Scarlett," aka Jenny Nordbak, tells Page Six that dozens of members of LA’s creative class — from household-name musicians to famous screenwriters and even A-list actors — have hired her to whip, beat and bind them, and play out their fantasies. Nordbak, who’s hung up her spikes and will publish a memoir, "The Scarlett Letters," in April, says, "When you’re at the more exclusive private fetish play parties, that’s [when] you start to see more [famous people], and I did see more celebrities in that sphere." But braver "submissives" — including "a mega-famous actor," whom "most women, and I’m sure a few men, have fantasized about kissing" — ventured to her dungeon. Of that star, whose "magnificent" unmentionables almost made her break character, Nordbak dishes that he paid her to yank on strings attached to a certain private piercing. Another client was a Hollywood screenwriter. "He just had these super-elaborate, over-the-top, detailed scenes that he would want to play out … that was fun because you don’t usually get that amount of imagination," said Nordbak. "He’s like, ‘I am the maharaja!’ and he’s in full costume; like a whole production." The USC grad added that "particularly with celebrities, they’re surrounded by ‘yes’ men and everyone is so in awe of them, and they don’t hear ‘no’ very often. So I think they’re so used to being the one with the power that surrendering that power to someone else is really exhilarating."

It is hard to believe someone can be a B list celebrity, but who all of you know. You do though, and she is. She was probably A list at one point. I don’t see her ever climbing back up the ladder, but all of you will still remember her for her look. At a party the other night, she said that, "Her relationships with men are not the type to lead to permanence." She also said she has very few real friends, and fully expects to die alone, and probably won’t be discovered until days after her death. She is not going to die any time soon, but it certainly brought the party down a notch or a hundred. Dita Von Teese (MOCA's Leadership Circle and Members' Opening for "Rick Owens: Furniture")

She has been in some of the most beloved shows of all time. You probably don’t always remember she was on them, even though she was a regular, but she was on them. Until a couple of years ago, she went from one middling hit to the next. Now, with just a sporadic pay cable paycheck, she wants regular work. Movies don’t want her and she is feeling old even though she is not out of her 30’s. The work she did might have been going overboard. The surgeons did a good job, but now she just looks like every other late 30’s actress trying to look young and not who she was.

KINDNESS: Even I have a tough time keeping track of the deeds of this oft failed A-/B+ list mostly television actor. The good news is he sometimes gets put in fairly bad movies too. You all know him though, and you all love him. Married, but his celebrity wife does not really share the same level of enthusiasm for helping others as he does. She is more of a write a check when the Girl Scout manages to find a way through the gate and up to their front door kind of person. Our actor though, he helps. He helps everyone all of the time. Those times our actor does land a new show, our actor starts sharing his paycheck with the organizations he supports. He also immediately gets the craft services people on board to donating all the day’s leftovers to another list of organization he supports. There is not a day that goes by on set that he is not having people sign scripts or one sheets or anything else he can think of so the organizations can have silent auctions. One movie he did, our actor managed to obtain signatures on over 1500 items of people much more famous than he. All those items brought in slightly over $1M. When his show inevitably gets canceled, our actor switches to volunteer mode. His goal is always eight hours a day. Every single day. He rotates the organizations so each gets him about every ten days. Back in the day he used to work seven days a week, but now he has cut back to five. On his longest running show, before he got married and had a family, he would work a a 12 hour day on set and then go volunteer another 5 or 6 hours. I’m not saying our actor is perfect. He has had his foibles, but the things he does at home and away from home long canceled out the couple of misdeeds. Josh Duhamel

She was OK with a question or two, but lost her temper and walked of the set of one show when all the questions were about him. Camila Alves/Matthew McConaughey (lifestyle expert for Target)

Our favorite annoying former tweener actress turned singer had a procedure done to her eyes so they would look more smoky and less wide eyed innocent. I just think she wanted the procedure done so it would be harder to see the whites of her eyes or tell if her pupils are dilated. Ariana Grande

241. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/21 **#10**
This foreign born attention seeking A+ list mostly movie actor trashed his most recent director at an event. Apparently the director was getting more credit than the actor which is a big no no. He shares the spotlight with no one. Ryan Reynolds (PROBABLY: Tim Miller "(Deadpool 2")

This so deep in the closet that you would need to send in a search team to find him B list take what he can get actor who is the offspring of a permanent A+ lister in two movie fields loves trotting out names of women he is dating. Last month there was a name of one actress and this month it is another. Sometimes there are photos of a date, but more often than not it is just a story floated by his PR team. Scott Eastwood (Clint Eastwood actor/director)/Hilary Duff/mystery brunette/girlfriend died 2 years ago in car crash

Do you care? Probably not. However, it is a war. The vast majority of photocalls for movies in LA are done in one hotel. This high end hotel makes a ton of money renting out the conference rooms, suites and food and beverages for the army that descends multiple times each week for these sessions. Now though, a different hotel decided it wanted in on the bidding. It’s main claim to fame has been the flagship LA restaurant of this foreign born celebrity chef who spends a ton of time on television. The hotel is offering 70% discounts compared to the hotel that currently has the monopoly and studios and networks are taking notice. The thing is though, the actors and actresses prefer the hotel chain that currently has the monopoly and don’t care about costs.
Current hotel: Hotel Bel-Air (Wolfgang Puck)
Challenging hotel: Beverly Wilshire; The Peninsula Beverly Hills

KINDNESS: It may look like this B+ list mostly television actress on multiple shows beneath the same corporate umbrella just takes selfies all day and shops for herself. Well, she does take a lot of selfies, and does a lot of shopping. What you may have missed in all her shopping is that she has spent on average about $2500 a day for the past four weeks filling up every donate a toy collection area she has seen. No matter how big the box or barrel or collection area, our actress fills it. If it is emptied out and she happens past it again, she will fill it up again. It is a challenge at this point to find as many drop off locations in LA she can find and just keep filling them up.

This is one of the most embarrassing plastic surgery situations I've been told about. This C/B-list television actress has been trying to increase Botox appointments lately and actually got TURNED DOWN by the doctor. 'He even felt she was having it done too regularly,' whispers a source close to the doc. 'Everyone knows she's his client, so he thought if she started looking freakish that it would damage his reputation. He fully expects her to go with someone else now.'

This foreign born former/still sometime member of an A list group mainly does reality now. Anyway, in a step outside her normal comfort zone, she got an acting gig.

This one named singer with an interesting choice of hairstyle for several years has new music ready to be released. Just one problem. It is really really good. So, what is the problem? Her mogul/wannabe rapper boyfriend won’t be able to keep her under his thumb if it takes off, so he is blocking the release. Cassie/Sean "P Diddy" Combs

257. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/22 **#12**
You don’t even have to scrape up $1000 to get this former reality star from multiple shows who started off her career by getting naked to appear at an event. She is doing anything she can to make money. She has run out of things to sell off and her soon to be husband told her to just try to find a real job. Nope. So, if you have a dry cleaner and feel like she would make your grand opening special, than offer her a couple of bills and she will show up.

258. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/22 **#13**
KINDNESS: He has been a kindness before. Way back in the day. He is foreign born and an A list singer/reality star. He seems like he would get along with everyone in the world and probably would, but he doesn’t have many friends. He pretty much stays out of the public eye, or would except for work. His wife does pressure him to do things with/for her but also pressures him to get out in public and be seen. She knows publicity. One place where he really draws the line though is charity work. His is funding school music programs. If a school needs new instruments, he is your guy. He also has reached deals with school districts where he pays the salary of a teacher who will travel between three or four schools a few times per week. There is a strong possibility that at this point he has contributed, by himself, more money and donated more instruments than the entire history of the Save The Music Foundation. I mean, it is just him. No paperwork. No costs. He goes to a music store in a city where he is touring and writes a check and then the instruments are delivered to a needy school. Pretty remarkable. Nick Lachey

This former B+ list mostly movie actress has been offered roles for the past three years but she has turned them all down. The reason? Well, our married actress thinks if she works, she will use drugs again and it is just not worth it to her. Some work she did a few years ago is being released soon and she is afraid that offers will start coming in again. Rebecca Gayheart ("Grey Lady")

269. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/23 **#10**
This A-/B+ list mostly television actress is currently on a hit almost television show. She has had success on pay cable and network, but not so much in movies. Anyway, she is out of the country on vacation and hooking up with a foreign born married A list mostly movie actor who has been having some marital issues. This won’t help.

Back in the day, this actress was B+. Now, even though most of you know her name, but maybe not her work, she is straight to On Demand and a television movie kind of actress. Three names if that helps. Losing her hair because of the recent purging she has been doing. Rachael Leigh Cook

272. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/23 **#13**
KINDNESS: I’m not sure this actress is even working right now. Hang on, let me check. OK, she has a recurring role on a network show that must stay on the air through some kind of black magic because it is about as interesting as lukewarm diner food. Anyway, the crazy thing is that most of you know who she is even though she is a B- lister at best. I’m only giving her something that high because of her past work and her ability to stay in the tabloids. In a good way. Photos and red carpets, not cocaine and partying. Our actress has always been outspoken about things/causes she believes in. Many of the hours she puts in, she does not publicize. One of those is a rape crisis hotline. Not only does she provide a great deal of funding to keep it operational, but she also takes calls almost 24/7. To lower costs and to make more people available, calls are routed to various volunteers and except for when she is actually working, our actress makes herself available to take calls. One week earlier this year, our actress took well over 100 calls from different women. Our actress also spends a great deal of time fundraising to help victims of human trafficking, whether it be for the sex trade or something else. I honestly think she would love to be A list just so she could help everyone else more because of the attention and dollars that A list status could direct towards these causes. AnnaLynne McCord ("The Night Shift")

"teeny tiny birthday blind" You see her from time to time with a "new boyfriend" but it never sticks. It never sticks because she’s actually had a girlfriend for 2 years and everything else is just a cover. They’re saying she’s getting more and more adamant about coming out though. It’s just a matter of doing it at the right time, you know, maximum coverage, maximum career boost. Kendall Jenner

292. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/26 **#11**
#1 – This once a year A list singer says this time of year is when he can hook up with three or four different women a day without any effort at all. He does so many public appearances this time of year and just picks and chooses at each event to be with someone for an hour or two before moving on to the next event. Josh Groban

#2 – This A+ list everything in her mind has four paid assistants. I guess she didn’t learn her lesson from the last time she came thisclose to bankruptcy. Jennifer Lopez

293. MR. X 12/27
When tributes pour in for this recently deceased A lister, don’t listen to the ones from his old label. They screwed him over by diverting funds from his records to those of a singer, the head of the label was sleeping with leaving our A lister precious little promotional money. George Michael (SONY) (Tommy Mottola married to Mariah Carey)

295. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/27 **#2**
I have never done a complete tally, but most of the time PR leaks about dating, generally come from either the female in a couple or the guy who wants a beard. In this case, it is neither. This foreign born one named rapper loves having his name attached to women who would never date him. It makes people forget that he takes home a different stripper each night and goes without a condom. Quite the catch. Drake (Jennifer Lopez) (Taylor Swift)

He just thought it would be fun. Charlie Puth

This foreign born A+ list mostly movie actor, who is super shady and controlling when it comes to using publicity for his own purposes, yelled at a guy last Friday who tried to take a picture with our actor after the actor bought a Christmas tree from the guy’s stand.

303. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/27 **#10**
It has been a couple of months without any structure in the life of this B+ list mostly television actress from a now ended filming hit cable show on the strangely named channel. Our actress, who will soon start dropping down the list after the series stops airing needs structure. She is partying like crazy and looks a decade older. She doesn’t have enough money to quit acting for good. The longer she goes without a job, the harder it will be to land another one. Ashley Benson ("Pretty Little Liars" on "Freeform")

#1- While filming this Christmas movie, this lead actor or his best friend or his other best friend, both of whom are involved in this movie and generally most movies since childhood would arrange for a stripper to knock on the trailer door of this A+ list mostly movie actress asking for directions to the trailer of one of the three. They would never tell the stripper who was going to answer the door. Invariably when the door would answer and it would be the A+ lister, the stripper would spend 5-10 minutes trying to talk to her.
Actor: Vince Vaughn
Best friend: Jon Favreau
Other best friend: Peter Billingsley
Actress: Reese Witherspoon
Movie: "Four Christmases"

#2 – This A-/B+ list actor filmed a movie that takes place right after Christmas. He didn’t get along with an A-/B+ list actress he had most of his scenes with. They had close scenes. He didn’t shower the entire time they filmed together just to try and make her angry. Ashton Kutcher/Lea Michele ("New Year’s Eve")

#3 – With the exception of one cast member, the majority of this holiday classic smoked pot nonstop during the entire filming. Not including the kids in the movie of course. The one holdout? It kind of seems fitting given her character, but this A/A- list mostly television actress abstained. "Family Stone" (Sarah Jessica Parker)

312. ENTERTAINMENT LAWYER 12/28 **#7**
The budding friendship between this B- list celebrity who is a celebrity offspring of a permanent A lister and this B list mostly television actress who was fired from a soon to be ended cable hit is all based on drugs.

MORE HOLIDAY MOVIES:
#1 – This back in the day holiday movie that everyone watches had a massive coverup. After much of the movie had been shot, one of the lead actors beat his girlfriend nearly to death. The producers of the former #1 movie paid her six figures to not file a police report. Later women in his life probably wish she had gone through with the report. John Heard ("Home Alone") (Melissa Leo)

#2 – This A-/B+ list mostly television actor is most known for a role he played in multiple media formats. The actress he kept calling a lesbian for refusing his advances is actually still in the closet. At the time of the holiday movie in which they both starred, she was just starting out and he pressured her beyond belief. Now, she is his equal, and once was probably a bit higher. She makes it a mission to talk about him and his actions all the time. Jeremy Piven/Bridget Moynahan ("Serendipity")

#3 – This actor is in multiple holiday movies. The one which is not a franchise though was not a good production experience. He had a relapse of coke and was doing it like crazy while having sex with every extra and walk on possible. The film is a disjointed mess because of his actions. Tim Allen ("Christmas with the Kranks")

OLD HOLLYWOOD: This foreign born A list writer probably didn’t deserve the A list tag. There were lots of other people who hated her. Our writer was a registered communist but was allowed to keep working as long as she named names of Hollywood writers who were communists. She named names just to name names whether it was true or not. Every name she named was blackballed. Ayn Rand

What started out as a threat has taken on a life of its own. This network reality star who would rather be an actress but no one will hire her or a singer but no one bought her records or doing anything other than judging a network reality show threatened to quit. The producers said fine and said they were looking into bringing in this one named singer/dancer to replace her. She backed down and the producers were never going to land the guy anyway because their entire budget for judges for a season is what he would have wanted for one episode. Julianne Hough ("Dancing With the Stars")/Usher

They were co-stars on a quickly put out of its misery television show. He is a B list mostly television actor who had a run on that almost network hit. He needed a beard and she agreed. They thought it would be great for the show.

A couple more weeks before he breaks it off.

331. IN TOUCH MAGAZINE 12/30
In Touch has exclusively learned that one cast member of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills will be forced to come clean about her addiction issues on the newest season. A source tells In Touch that the troubled cast member (either Eileen Davidson, 57, Erika Girardi, 45, Dorit Kemsley, 40, Kyle Richards, 47, Lisa Rinna, 53, Eden Sassoon, 43, or Lisa Vanderpump, 56) is confronted on-camera by her co-stars, who believe the reality star may be abusing Xanax. "There will be major fireworks surrounding her issue," says the source, "and the other Housewives will try to help her deal with this." The constant fighting between the women this season may have only made things harder for the RHOBH star in question, suspects the source: "People pop Xanax when they’re stressed out. And let’s face it, there has never been a shortage of drama when it comes to the ladies of Beverly Hills." Eileen Davidson (recent deaths in the family: eldest brother, John "Jack" Davidson, father-in-law, Dick Van Patten, her sister, Connie, Connie’s daughter, Brooke and her mother Charlotte Davidson)

The boss of this tabloid/television show/media empire might as well be on the payroll of this creepy organization with all the promotion and defending of the group they do without bothering to check out the real facts. They just print what they are told. Their sister tabloid does the same kind of thing with statements from PR people. Harvey Levin/TMZ/Scientology/People

There may be more to the recent departure of this singer from a manufactured group than has been released. It was about last year at this time that I wrote about a relationship between two of the members of the group (https://goo.gl/Cs4Xzl). They were forced to keep it quiet because at the time, one of the members was bearding for a foreign born singer. Over the past year, the two band members had some definite ups and downs. The band’s management and label had a very friendly management deal. One of the members of the group had a fling with one of her childhood friends. It was all too much to keep the relationship going and one of the members left not only to heal her broken heart but also to make a lot more money.
Group: Fifth Harmony
Singer that left: Camila Cabello (Shawn Mendes)
Other band member: Lauren Jauregui (openly bisexual)

PART ONE:
It was a chance thing. A coincidence. Are those two, the same thing? I think of chance being more magical than a coincidence. The magical does not necessarily have to be good however. Anyway, I had not seen this actor in about a decade at this point. Then, one Friday night we literally ran into each other in a Vegas hotel lobby. Hugs were exchanged and then he showed me that he is in massively better shape than me and proceeded to remind me of it for the next three hours. The smiles and hugs were genuine. We might not go looking for each other, but when we see each other we have that bond that can only be shared with a few other people from our past. It was back in the day. He was a friend of a friend. It was midnight and we were on the grounds of a miniature golf course. The golf course was the site of a weekly contest. A handful of us would get together and drink beer and play golf for $20 a hole. That was a ton of money to me at the time. It was a ton of money to everyone who played except for the guy who brought the future actor. The guy who brought the actor was a friend of mine. Not a great friend, but a friend. He was always willing to gamble at anytime and anyplace. In the years since, I don’t know what happened to him and the actor doesn’t either. They lost touch years ago after the person that introduced us asked for money one too many times. Anyway, there we were. Playing for more money than any of us wanted to play for. We did so because it made everyone treat it more seriously. We had fun, but everyone wanted to win. I usually ended up breaking even. I never won. Once or twice I ended up losing $40 or $60. After we played, someone had the key to inside the building and we would drink more and play video games for free. It was the third or fourth time the actor played that summer with us that a group of guys in a big pickup truck pulled into the parking lot. Confederate flag flying, they would have been more at home at a KKK rally. Did I mention our future actor is African American? And the friend that introduced us. There were two other guys besides myself who were also there and white. We had all been walking out to our cars when the group pulled in and started doing donuts in the parking lot which kept us from getting to our cars. Even if we could have managed to get to them, there was no way we could have driven off. They stopped doing donuts and when they got out of the truck, there were 7 or 8 of them. I knew we were out numbered. Two of them had some tire chains. This whole scene was so unreal. Surreal? This stuff happened in movies, and not in a parking lot of a batting cage/golf course/video arcade place. It turns out this was not a random thing. The guy who introduced me to the future actor had won some bets from the guys and they were not good losers. They told me and the other two white guys we could leave. Nope. It doesn’t work that way. None of us were going to leave our friends. I was just wondering how badly I was going to be beaten. Tire chains would probably leave a mark. I remember that I wanted one of the guys who didn’t have a tire chain. I think we all did. When the guys from the truck came charging, the guys with the tire chains were left alone because we all went after the others. I fully expected to get a tire chain in the back or back of the head. It didn’t happen. About five minutes into this melee, a police car pulled into the parking lot and turned on its lights and sirens. The first thing the policeman saw were the guys holding the tire chains. He told them to put them down and to get down on their knees. He called for backup. There were no partners in cars at that time. Before his backup got there, he pretty much had the whole story. No one was going to get in trouble for the fight. There was barely any blood, and even if there had been, no one was going to get in trouble unless the chains had been used. The guy who introduced me to our actor did have a warrant out for his arrest though and ended up going to jail. This posed a problem for the future A+ list mostly movie actor because the guy was his ride and he lived about an hour away from where we were. No worries. I took him back to my place. Even though he only lived an hour away, that world an hour away was integrated in name only. I guess that is why the bond never goes away. As much as he thought we might be friends, I don’t think he expected me or the other guys to not only stick up for him but to fight for him. Then, to invite him to spend the night and what actually turned out to be three nights. After that encounter in the parking lot, one thing that did happen is that the late night use of the facilities was off limits. No more gambling or free video games. Our actor, who is an Academy Award winner/nominee, I didn’t see for several years afterwards. It was a one night thing we had planned on a Halloween night. After that, it was probably six years before we saw each other again. That night was just because of some mutual friends of his that he worked with on a television show and some mutual friends of me. The person in the middle was an actress and a movie premiere. It would not be until Vegas that we would see each other again and like he said, we definitely had a party. You can read about it tomorrow.

PART TWO:
In the lobby, our actor friend asked why I was in town. I told him I had some tickets to a show later that night. He then informed me he was playing in that same show and was sure he could get me better tickets, including to an auction that was happening earlier. When I asked him about the auction he said that even he could barely afford the prices that would be seen. It was a charity gig. The auction items were truly one of a kind celebrity type things and true to his word, most of them started the bidding in the $100K range. During the day we had lunch together and got caught up before he went to a sound check. He told me to stop by because there was someone special who was going to be there he knew I loved. Sure enough, when I dropped by, there was an old friend there. She had just released her first record about a year or so earlier and was within days of releasing her second record. I had seen her the week before in LA and she never told me she was doing this show. She said it literally came up the day before when someone else dropped out. Her first record went double platinum. Let me check that. Yes, it did. Good memory. Honestly though I couldn’t remember the sales of the second record and had to look it up. Barely platinum. She has over a double handful of Grammy wins/nominations and one heck of a name. One thing that sticks out at me about that night is she was introduced to a permanent A+ list musician who loved her work and almost a decade later they worked together based solely on their mutual admiration from that night. Did I tell you that she enjoys making sure everyone has enough to drink? Yeah, she got that party started for me that night. By the time the auction started I had to go to slow down mode or I would be passed out by the show. The show itself was one of a kind. It literally had every combination of performer, singer and comic you could imagine. After the show, I went backstage and the first person I saw was someone I had not seen in a long time. A guy well over 7 feet tall who I had a history with when he was much younger. Now, he was passing out shots and telling me to drink. For about two hours after the show, this backstage area had everyone and no one wanted to leave. It was this combination like I said of some very special people and they were enjoying being with each other. I think they were afraid if one left, the spell would be broken. The guy who was kind of leading the charge and keeping everyone together was the one guy who was not drinking anything but bottled water. He was a permanent A+ list comedian/actor/Academy Award winner/nominee. Just one story after the other and each one was more dirty than the last. There was nothing even close to PG about his material, it was closer to NC-17. My actor friend played his straight man for much of it when not sitting at a piano with this foreign born permanent A+ list singer/musician singing song after song. The two played for another foreign born permanent A+ list singer who sang some of his classics before giving way to a Canadian singer who was just making a name for himself and is now an A- lister. A+ list at cheating. One interesting dynamic was the comic actor I mentioned who was best friends with another foreign born permanent A+ list musician who was there. Apparently they even flew together to the show and hung out all the time. A very strange combination. For two hours it was just one big fun sing along party. If it had been recorded it would have been the highest rated variety show ever to air. Guaranteed. Instead, there are a couple of photos and maybe someone took a quick 30 second video here and there, and the rest is lost to memories. When the party started to break up, my actor friend and I and my singing friend all went to dinner together. Just the three of us. That night generally is in my top five celebrity nights of all time.

Studios are ticked off at this A list mostly movie actress and her recent comments. She has been going about 25% on promoting movies and has been taking advice from a director that studios hate. Oh, plus she is ticking off fans. One studio head already crossed her off a list for the lead in a box office flick that she had been "circling."
