BlindGossip – This a traditional “shopping” weekend for this established celebrity couple. She will likely be combing the aisles of every exclusive store, looking for that perfect flat panel TV or watch or digital camera or set of golf clubs for him. He will be busy too, but not in the way you think.
Since he must keep up appearances by spending the holiday with his family, his boyfriend gets this weekend. Our star will be very busy instructing him on how to properly unwrap and handle his gift. Don’t worry about his SO, though. His assistant will pick out a very nice gift for her – as is done every year – and she will feign excitement over her gift and their lovely and picture-perfect Christmas. We can’t wait for the photos of the whole family gathered around the tree, smiling, smiling, smiling. Fake, fake, fake!
Let’s say the obvious: Toothy and Shafterella.
No them. Reese and Jake have broken up. Also the Fake fake fake makes me think of Brad and Angelina. Ted C. has a blind vice about her named Fake Larocity.
No way Brad swings that way! Plus, they really don’t have too many instances of the whole gang together at one time….
Fake, fake, Jake!
They’ve already broken up.
no, can’t be toothy because you don’t see Jake involved with Reeese’s kids in the public… this has to be someone who uses the kids as photo ops to be the “perfect family”. this smells of either Tom and Katie or a new one! Beks and Posh!!!
interesting!
This sounds good if you read below. Plus I wondered if the three smiles and three fakes meant anything, like three kids. So, not bad.
sounds like the beckhams but i dont think david swings that way. More like Tome cruise
Google “Reese, Jake and Kids” and you’ll get a ton of pictures of them all together going hiking, biking, shopping and at ball games.
Okay, so far we have:
*she’s known for her high-end shopping
* they don’t seem to be married, hence SO
* they’ve been together for a long time
* they publicize the event by posting pictures
Inferred:
* he’s either a director or control freak “instructing how to properly open his gift”
* tv and camera are generic gifts, but golf clubs might be a clue ~ someone who plays, not a pro
* keep up appearances might be a clue
That’s all I got. And can we PLEASE for once not guess Ben/Jen? Please? There are other people out there.
I thought “instructing how to properly open his gift” was a reference on being bossy to his boyfriend in bed.
I can see Tom Cruise being very that way.
Agreed, this is a sexual reference.
It says SO….that stands for Significant other…So the couple isn’t married. I think if they were married they would have said that.
I thought the reference to flat panel TV, watch, digital camera or set of golf clubs was perhaps something this celebrity does endorsements for??
‘established couple’ wouldnt seem to refer to Timberlake and whomever it is this yr, or even one of the other youngish pairings. to me its suggesting a couple whove been around Hollywood a while AS a couple, so Id tend to lean toward the Robbins/Sarandon, Russel/Hawn suggestions because theyre seen out and about as a couple, have been for yrs, thus established.
Dunno about the shopping part though, and I agree the items mentioned do seem to be clues either to someone who is a known celeb golfer or spokesperson for the electronic stuff.
You don’t think Bragelina is established.
tom and kate ftw
1st thought too!
Her family and his family together, come on . . . serious play acting going on!
But, “fake, fake, fake” makes me think of a Seinfeld reference, hmmmmmmmm
Do scientologist celebrate Christmas.
Good question. I don’t think so!
Some $cientologists celebrate Christmas as in buying gifts, Santa Clause, Christmas trees etc. They had a Christmas play about a year or two ago and had David Carradine reading the Night Before Christmas.
http://glosslip.com/2009/06/04/new-details-emerge-about-david-carradines-death-including-his-scientology-connections/
I would have paid actual money to hear David Carradine read The Night Before Christmas. Alas he’s no longer with us. Sad, really.
Scientologists celebrate Christmas the same way atheists and non-practicing Christians do… it’s a time to give gifts and be with your family, with no religious connotation whatsoever. So yes, it could be Scientologists.
So it’s an unmarried celebrity couple since it refers to the woman as (SO).
At first I was thinking John Travolta and KP, but since they are married, it isn’t them.
Brangelina?
Who else is an established celebrity couple that isn’t married?
I like the Travolta/Preston guess
rumor has it that they’re separated but they only are together for events (a ala Tomkat). I’ve talked to people who’ve worked w/ both Travolta and Preston. He’s an all around nice guy (full time devotee to the cult, not so much) according to one source. Preston was born into $cientology and is a complete loon and, according to the other person I talked to, went apeshit on her pers. assistant for no reason.
I’ll just wait for the pics to come out thanks
But Jake and Reese just broke up… Right?
How about Ashton and Demi?
They’ve “broken up” about a million times according to the gossip sites. Their “people” denied it last time. I think they’ll stick together through the holidays, whether this BI is about them or not.
They did break up. There were official statements on several different websites this week.
Am I the only one thinking the Travoltas?
Doubtful that the Travolta’s will be doing much celebrating, public or otherwise, this Christmas.
What type of celebrity family can you picture “gathered around the tree, smiling smiling smiling”? It sounds like some country western singer would do this to show off those good ol’ family values/zillion dollar ‘log cabin’ in the country. I got nothin’, but you get my drift…
what about Faith Hill and Tim McGraw? They have done family photo spreads. However, they are married, so it sort of ignores the SO hint.
What about Keith and Nicole? They’re married, too, though, but something is up with those two.
What isn’t up with them is her eyebrows. They NEVER move! Plus they’ll be in Australia cos Nicole’s sister is moving to Singapore or something.
I say Brangelina.
If Brad had a boyfriend, there would be pictures of them out. Pitt can’t even drive into a car parked at a light without having it on tape.
I don’t believe he’s gay, anyway.
Yeah, I don’t get the gay vibe at all from Brad.
Jennifer Aniston is the ultimate beard (Besides Renee Z) Maybe she was bearding back in the day with Brad. Brad did say their management set them up.
If Jen was a beard, why on earth would she keep going on and on and on and on and on about the whole situation?
@Stinkweed…I haven’t heard her say anything about the situation. The media has…But of course they would, Brad and Jen was their golden couple back in the day.
@Jalisa Did you not see her on Oprah? Blech. Every time she does a TV or print interview, she comments on it. There was that whole “What Brad and Angie did was uncool” thing, just for 1 example.
and I dont get a high end shopper vibe from Angelina.
When you play nice with the paparazzi they leave you alone. They only take pics of him in public.
As opposed to what? Taking pics of him through his bedroom window?
If someone could break a story of Brad Pitt messing around with another man, they would make a gazillion dollars. No pap would pass that opportunity up, no matter how “nice” Pitt was to them.
I don’t think that is true. Brad Pitt and Jenn was stoned out of their minds for alot of pics that the paps took during their time together. It was rumored for years that they were weed heads. The paps didn’t say one word of it. Also alot of the paps knew that Lindsey and Sam was hanging out regulary before it became public knowlege that they were going out.
oh yeah he has all but said that his marriage to jen was a giant weedfest. as much as y’all don’t want to admit it, brad and angie are the real deal … a little but nutso, but the real deal nonetheless.
Established hollywod couple, and they use significant other, so obvs not married.
I had thought of Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick. They’re married I know but ehh I thought of them.
Som unmarried Hollywood couples:
Tim Robbins & Susan Sarandon
Kurt Russel & Goldie Hawn
Charlize Theron & Stuart Townsend
Naomi Watts & Liev Schreiber
Sam Shepard & Jessica Lange
Johnny Depp & Vanessa Paradis
But this is probably someone more “out there” in the public eye.
ugh, I suck at blinds but I’m so addicted to them.
You forgot Brad and Angelina.
oh right, and my grammer was awful, damn Iphone.
But Brad and her seem kinda hippie-ish, would he care for all those types of gifts?
I swear whenever these “cheating” items come up (straight or not) I hope and pray they’re people I can’t stand, or I hope/pray they’re *not* someone I like. I think I might be evil. LOL.
That said, I hope it’s *not* Kurt, Liev or Brad. They would all look so good with me.
The rest on the list, EH. Whatevs…
Merry Christmas everyone!
It is the Martins, ala Chris and Gwen
It’s been years since they even tried to be photographed together.
what bout SJP? she has 3 kids 2 girls and a boy just like the picture. Also shopping is in quotes maybe thats a reference to her character Carrie, she shops all the time. I dunno just a guess.
yep
Love this guess
Do Scientologists celebrate Christmas? They believe in a supreme being, but not the Christian version of God.
*shrugs*
Brad and Angelina all the way.
The fake family part surely does fit them.
I don’t get a strictly gay vibe from Brad. But I get a “bi” vibe from him.
Those of us who remember the blinds of yesteryear think about how BP was pretty willing to experiment back in the day.
And Angelina has/has had Jenny Shimuzu as a SO.
They’re as fake as one can imagine!
screams of BIEL and TIMBERLAKE to me!!!!!
I thought of them, too, when they mentioned the golf clubs, but I don’t think they give out photos of the whole “family” gathering around the tree…
“Since he must keep up appearances by spending the holiday with his family, his boyfriend gets this weekend.”
Its someone who isn’t married and that has kids…cause it says family, not just the significant other.
family could be moms, dads, brothers, sisters too. I don’t have kids but I still take pictures with my family and my husband’s family at christmas.
But he does all those commercials for Sony … and he always spends the holidays with his mom and friends
it’s not them, this person have kids and biel dont scream a person who loves to shops.
and they already been a solved blind
timberlake into9 family, pays golf…dick in a box anyone??????
I like this guess. If not them, Nick and Nessa. The couple in this blind seem like fame-hos. That’s not J.T. and Biel more like Nick and Vanessa. Nick loves golf and always talking about family. Lachey and Minnillo once had a photo spread in O.K.! magazine around a X-mas tree with lots of gifts. Don’t forget their Halloween pics they whored out. These two can’t convince me they are a happy couple. This sounds like the blind where a female celeb brought home a girl and then a boy to her boyfriend and now he is sleeping with both. Nick and Vanessa got a few votes for that one. She is his SO.
About a couple of yrs ago, Nick Lachey made a firm announcement that he never was into guys. And he’s strictly a straight shooter.
But he’s the type that gays would hit on a lot!
I first thought of Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas. Maybe the grandpa in the photo is why.
Will & Jada?
Everyone always guess them for a blind. It could be them but lets be more original.
The Obamas
To me if it said a married couple, I could see that. But it specifically says SO….You use SO when someone isn’t married.
Brad and Angie or Will and Jada.
i was thinking of the Smiths too
Hugh Jackman
I don’t agree that SO always means unmarried: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/significant+other
That said I vote SJP and Ferris Bueller
But I think that Blind Gossip would have said married couple if they were married, unless they wanted us confused.
In real life SO could mean married or not, of course. But in the world of blind gossip, SO usually hints that the couple is not married. I personally have never seen an item use SO and then reveal that the answer is married.
I agree with DES. Sometimes I have used SO to refer to anothers spouse….
I suck at these – my first guess was Kelly Ripa & Mark C. but it sounds like I missed half the clues.
Fred Durst, Limp Bizkit had an album called “significant other”
The picture clue has three kids, and “fake fake fake” and “smiling smiling smiling” are also in threes, that has to be important.
I agree that SO does not have to mean they aren’t married, it just means that the author is intentionally omitting that information. Could be to throw us off the scent.
I’m not saying it is but here’s why it COULD be Tom and Katie:
(a) Note that in addition to Significant Other, “SO” could also hint to Sea Org — i.e., Scientology;
(b) Including his adopted children, Tom and Katie have three kids — hence three being used repeatedly as a clue;
(c) At the end of the movie that really made him a star — Top Gun — Tom returns to Top Gun as a flight instructor. Hence the clue “instructing.”
(d) In the photo there are numerous stockings hung and extended family present — and we all know Tom and Katie live with his mother and sister;
(e) Use of the word “gift” in the clue — Katie was in the movie The Gift in 2000.
Having said that, if you accept that SO could include married couples, this could easily be Tori and Dean. She and her mother are both publicizing their recent reunion and their big family holiday plans. Including Dean’s older son, they also have THREE children.
Ohhhh I LIKE the Tori and Dean guess! Those two are way too fake!
BINGO
Hating moderation. Do scientology remarks always get moderated?
After they’re finished opening their Xmas presents for the People magazine photo spread, does the photo shoot director say “It’s an unwrap!”?
LoL
What about Nicole Richie & Joel Madden? I do like the Posh & Becks guess, tho.
I agree Tom & Katie – SJ’s assessment was really good AND Katie is known for shopping at “high end stores”
Am I really the only one who thinks Gisele and Tom Brady? They are super-public, she is DEF a shopper, and he is a QB so he is used to instructing people on how to handle balls
PLUS Tom is a huge golfer… the SO comment, I think, is just to throw us off.
though Posh and Becks work even better I guess (same deal w Becks). I was trying to spice up the answers tho
Who has the kids this year? Tom or Nicole?
Tommy boy once again!
Could it be Diddy. He just launched a ‘shopping’ network scheme and it says ‘combing’ the aisles. But I have no clue who he’s dating.
Also, the ‘handle’ thing may be a reference to Diddy’s various names. Didn’t his Twitter account say he’s in the Ukraine this weekend? Was he still involved or whatever with Kim Porter? Do they have 3 kids?
One more clue. Sean John has had some kind of flat screen tv contest going on
Since the picture indicates a woman with light colored hair and a public male partner with brownish hair I guess Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgewick or perhaps Tori and Dean or even Felicity Huffman and her husband William Macy.
But what is throwing me is the presence of grandparents. It may be likely that this is a family where the grandparents are photographed on occasion or maybe on a Xmas card?
Will and Jada or Posh and family
I’ll take Will and Jada for $500 Alex
What about Ashlee and Pete? Just thought I’d throw that out there.
As for Posh and Becks, I saw a pic of one of their boys who was wearing sneakers from Walmart-I know, because my son has that same pair.
My first thought was Hugh Jackman & wife. I can already picture the happy family Christmas photos.
Hugh’s wife may be his beard, but I get the impression that they both care deeply for one another and their children.
Yes. It may not be sexual, but it’s real. Hugh’s a great dad.
Gwen Stefani and family
Victoria and David Beckham?
Biel and Timberlake FTW
“Since HE must keep up appearances by spending the holiday with HIS family”
- I think means he must bring the girlfriend to his family for the holidays, not that they have kids.
“…looking for that perfect flat panel TV or watch or digital camera or set of golf clubs for him”
- He plays golf, says he collects watches and he does those ads for Sony electronics.
“Our star will be very busy instructing him on how to properly unwrap and handle his gift.”
- Dick in a Box: “Step one….”!
“smiling, smiling, smiling. Fake, fake, fake!”
- All those staged photos they do to prove they are together, see lainey!
MTE!
Also:
*established celebrity couple.
they are established.
*by spending the holiday with his family
they spent Thanksgiving last year together with is family and tried to look like a happy couple in the “candids”.
*His assistant will pick out a very nice gift for her
Justin’s assistant is his cousin
Speaking of Hugh Jackman, i dont mean to be harsh but life n style mag has puc of him and his wife… I thought it was his grandma til i read the caption!!!!
Gwen & Gavin because it says “celebrity couple” it doesn’t say that they are actors specifically.
SJP & MB is a good guess too.
Beyonce and Jay-Z would be hilarious. They seem superfake to me.
Its definitely not Brad & Angie. 1) She’s never been the type to be “combing exclusive stores” for golf clubs or flat screen TVs and 2)People have been trying to say that Brad is gay for 20 years but not one shred of proof has yet to surface. Not even one gay guy to say they had a tryst. However he has been with a lot of ladies (juliette lewis, robin givens, etc.) Most gay guys I know are quick to admit Brad most likely likes *.
B& Jay seem to be the realest ones to me – just because they’re enjoying all those expensives things and arent shy about it doesnt mean theyre fake.
Barack/Michelle?
what about christine taylor and ben stiller? she played marcia marcia marcia
Posh & Becks?
courtney cox and david Arquette
i just want to know if all of the men in hollywood are gay?? and why do they have to keep it such a secret?
most proabably arnt gay it starts as a rumour, but in saying that those
that r would loose their screen appeal in romantic screen liasions ,
movies try to let u slip into a fantasy and who wants watch some openly
gay person try and pull that off “it is cringe worthy” hence the not coming
out…..
Will & Jada fake fake fake!!
whoa! totally shocked this turned out to be susan surandon and tim robbins. I googled thier split and this is the first link that came up!
I was thinking the same thing….
So did this really turn out to be Tim Robbins and Susan Sarrandon? Robbins has directed before (Shawshank I think) what say all of you?
The vast majority of performers, male & female are at the very least “BI” if not “Gay”….Any experience in the theatre or film world proves this is so because the rampant multi-sexual bedhopping would make your shocked head spin! Furthermore, the performing arts require limitless flexible free expression of emotions “Emoting” in music & acting & dance…that doesn’t come so easily to many “straight-jacketed” straight people bogged down in utterly everything conventional & prescribed. Plus, who makes for the most powerhouse of acting ability but gay individuals employed as professional actors- who have had to act 24 hours a day, all their life, in order to cover their true identity from an entertainment industry, paparazzi & hateful press, & a cruelly judgemental society that hates them 24/7 for who they really are & a gay subgroup that hates them for hiding! People are, after all, still beaten & murdered -just for being gay!
