Today's Blind Items
It's not often you can shock me anymore, but this one comes close.
This former A list film actor who is now a TV regular but no longer A
list recently got divorced. The reason given of course was
irreconcilable differences. In reality, he beat the living crap out of
his wife. What is worse is that after beating her he didn't want her to
go out in public to be seen and commented upon so he locked her in a two
room suite in the house when he wasn't there or when people visited.
When friends would visit during her incarceration periods she was either
on vacation or out shopping depending on the circumstances. She finally
had enough and got a huge settlement to keep it quiet.

Four For Friday--Mother's Day Edition
All of the answers have a mother. Too difficult? OK, how about all the answers are mothers. (not as in difficult, but as in are a mom)
1. This sometimes brunette A list movie actress gave up her child for adoption twelve years ago while she was still struggling. Now the child wants to meet the mom, but the mom is freaked out by what the public may say.
2. This B list television actress mom who moves from show to show caught her then 17 year old daughter having sex with her then mid 40's husband.
3. This former A list movie actress, now struggling B list television/film actress never gets to see her teenage children. The reason is that she made Mommie Dearest look like a saint.
4. This mom of the century raised a lawyer/blogger who wants her to know how much she means to him and that he appreciates her struggles as a single mom. Yes, he was an ass as a teenager, "borrowed" money until his mid 20's, and maybe doesn't express his love enough, or call enough, but she's never stopped loving him which makes her the greatest mom in the world.

So last week I think I promised to fill you all in on a story that a pap related to me because he wanted to know if he was legally obligated to do anything about what he had witnessed and his obligations should it occur again in the future..
Most of you readers are used to seeing the photos of celebs up close and personal that are taken from just a few feet away..However, you may have also seen photos, especially on the beaches that are taken from a much greater distance, and then there was a recent case involving Jennifer Aniston where topless photos of her on her deck were taken from over a quarter mile away..
There are some pap who follow their quarry all the time, but for much of the time they just stay close to certain places they know celebs tend to hang out, or they know will be coming to at some point in the day or night. However, the big money are for pics that are harder to come by and that is where you get the guys following you everywhere ot finding a place that overlooks your house and then waiting for hours and hours and sometimes even for days depending on how valuable the pic would be if taken.
The pap who came to my office is a follower..he goes for the big bucks and does not s
ettle
for anything less..He has become very good at tracking his quarry from a
distance (some would say it has something to do with the device on
their fav car he put there, but I digress..lol) He also has found a
place also about a quarter mile away from a particular house which
provides him an excellent view of about 30% of the house including some
rooms of the house, and into them as well..
He came to me because on 3 or 4 occasions (definitely 3, and unsure of the 4th) he witnessed the current A list actor beating his girlfriend and has the pics to prove it. (they are grainy, but very clear what is going on) The first time it happened he was not prepared to take pics because he knew the object of his pics was not at the house and so he managed to only get a couple of pics which are useful only if looking at the others to put the first in context. After the fight, he waited for what he was sure would be an appearance by the police, but none ever came. This same scenario played out the other times as well.
He came to me because he wondered if he was under some obligation to report the beatings to the police. He did not want to alert the police because he did not want the subject to learn about the pap watching his house and thus tip-off what the real goal with the pics is/was. Also, the fights happened over a several week period and always in the same room of the house and so he was wond
ering
if they could have learned of his presence and were staging the fights
because they always did happen in the same room..To back this theory up
he stated and as I viewed the pics, admitted it is hard to see if there
are any bruises or marks on the woman. Most of the blows appeared to be
of the open hand variety and therefore would maybe not leave a mark and
also would not leave any evidence if the pap decided to call the cops on
his own and they investigated. He has thought about calling the police
as soon as he sees something but doubts they would be able to respond in
time..The girlfriend rarely leaves the house which makes it tough to
follow her and see if there are marks or to confront her..She is not
really in the public eye and so sometimes that can be problematic as
well..He hired an assistant to follow the girl if she does leave, but
she does not seem to leave until at least two days after a fight which
would bolster the theory that she has been hit.
He wants her to leave because he knows that when she is gone, then his payoff pics will happen..I will keep you updated on this story..of course it could break out into the open at anytime as well..too many people are being brought into the loop..of course the pap could be bought off also...remind me to tell you about some big payoffs in the past to keep things quiet..

Lainey: Three Weeks & a Friend’s Couch
Three Weeks & a Friend’s Couch
July 27, 2011
Two separate riddles here...
1. It was instant attraction when they started rehearsals, despite the fact that he’s supposed to be happily married. On set flirtation, some touching in the trailer, soon became after work “prep time”, and heavy petting in the car, and before long it was a full blown affair. May have been a method situation for him, which would surprise no one, but for her, even though she told herself this was a big girl, mature woman thing to do – take a co-star lover – of course she fell in love, although she obediently went back to her boyfriend and tried to shake it off he cut it off after three weeks as soon as his wife came over to stay. He seems to be able to pretend like it never happened. Which, naturally, is confusing her because she thought it was so real. Of course she did. As it happened, there was a break in the schedule and they haven’t had to work together for a while, much to the studio’s relief. These are big names on a big film with big expectation and there was already enough drama last time around. But shooting with everyone resumes again in a few days, and they’ll be sending an executive to stay around through the stretch to keep a close eye. Babysitting is exactly what it is.
2. Here’s a story her side has been working hard to put out there: that one night he hurt her so badly she had to leave and because she’s so famous, and was so distraught, a hotel wasn’t an option. So she drove herself – a crazy notion in and of itself – to a friend’s, and actually slept on the couch, also hard to believe. But home was supposedly not a safe place for her that night. This is why they’re helping her make a new one.
