BlindGossip – This actress is expecting a very special gift of jewelry soon from her actor boyfriend. After all, they’ve been dating for a while, they’ve met each other’s families, and they each get more press together than either one would get alone. So, it’s reasonable to expect that an engagement ring would be forthcoming, right? Um, yes, but not to her. The engagement ring is going to his very special boyfriend, who has been forced to lurk in the shadows for several years now. Oh, our actress might get a ring too, but although the jewelry may be real, all involved are very clear that the hetero sentiment is totally fake. Yes, she knows all about the other guy, and she knows that she plays a distant second to him, but she also really loves how the fake relationship boosts her image and her income. We personally think that a three-stone ring would be most appropriate. Not to symbolize their pas, present and future love for each other, but to symbolize all three of the people in the relationship.
Renee and Brad
I agree. It’s Renee and Brad. I don’t think this is even a blind item.
idem
I agree too. you don’t even have to read the whole blind. (blind items are sooo addictive!)
Poor Renee wouldn’t need to resort to stunts like this if she were just less, um, peculiar? Her facial expression always seems so uncertain, unsure of her welcome. Needy. It’s uncomfortable to look at.
we all know bradley cooper is gay ok
Agreed.

Wasn’t Brad Cooper married to Jennifer Esposito? How does anyone know he’s gay? I’m new to this talk about him, are there other stories about him that I missed?
Zac and Vanessa or Hayden and Rachel…the Renee and Bradley Cooper fauxmance hasn’t been around long enough to go anything for Renee’s career. Plus she us a pretty big star on her own. Vanessa is more likely getting a career boost from being the girlfriend, and the boy in the shadows could be Lucas grabel. Though at this point I thunk efron gets more press alone than as a couple, so I’ll go with Hayden and Rachel.
thank you for saying exactly*** what I was thinking lol I agree
Rachel and Hayden are already engaged.
renee’s personal star was sorta faded before she took up with brad. zac and vanessa are too young for engagement to be an obvious next step, whereas renee and brad are old enough that even though they havent been together for eons, they could feasibly get engaged. but didn’t she get a mrriage anulled, citing “false pretenses”, reportedly because some country star (her then-husband) was gay? doesn’t seem like the type to then willingly put herself in that situation.
REESE AND JAKE!
They broke up several weeks ago.
Speculation. There is no press release that says they broke up.
Did you miss last week’s US Weekly cover confirming that the showmance is over?
I did.
I reread the blind- I take it back. Its Squinty and Bradley
Shouldn’t we give them some sort of couple name? Squintly? Squadley? Any ideas? Love, BG
I like Squintly. Squadley is awkward. Well, maybe Squadley is more appropriate then.
I LOVE Squadley!
What about Coopwegger? Or Branee?
Hmmm. Coopwegger … Branée… Coopée? (the last rhyming with Toupée)
Ooo! I’m really liking Coopée!
Sqooper!
Coopee’ FTW
Hey BG, love you, love what you do! Just dropping an FYI here. First and foremost I’m not a big fan of Renee Zelweger at all (acting, bf choices, etc.), but I have never felt comfortable with the “squinty” jokes. Her “squinty” appearance comes from the fact that she is part Sami, a Northern European people that are kindof like our Native Americans here. They used to be called the Lapp people, but I’ve heard that’s not cool anymore. Anyway, “squinty” is a term that’s just as insulting for the Sami people as it would be for anyone of, say, Asain descent. It strikes me as a slur, and thus not cool. Much love. By the way, this is Jake and Reese!
THANK YOU, for the information. I am not into joking about people’s facial appearance based on race.
Making fun of people’s natural appearance is so grade school!
I think most actors know that she has what God and Mother Nature gave her; and she’s doing very well with her gifts, thank you very much!
I’m from Finland, home of many Sami people. They do not have “squinty” eyes, they look pretty much the same as any other Finns. So calling Renee squinty is not a racial slur in any way, just a bad joke about her appearance!
And calling someone “Lapp People” (lappalainen in Finnish) is not derogatory either, it’s just a reference to where the person is from. C’mon people, don’t be so quick to trust Wikipedia…
katie and the douche bag
If you’re talking about Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise, they are already married so this definitely does not apply to them.
I initially thought Hayden and Rachel, but they are already engaged. Bradley and Renee?
Brad and Squinty is super recent isn’t it?
I thought Jake and Reese, but they have this whole break up thing going on, not that this wouldn’t be more publicity for them both, especially since his Prince of Persia movie will be out relatively soon.
How pathetic!!!! To him, “Come out of the closet, life can be short!” To her, “Boost your career with talent, not foolery!”
russell brand & katie perry
is she an actress??
Nope, singer. I think that random hookup might be the real thing
I think this is either Zac and Vanessa or Renee and Bradley, it is an open secret that both the fellas are gay.
How does something get to be an “open secret” anyway?
im starting to think every guy in hollywood is gay, all these blinds r starting to sound the same and na your right kp is a singer
What the FREAK you guys!! Bradley Cooper is gay????
Wow. YOU must be new here! Duh, yeah, that’s the rumour like forever.
You say this is a rumor, but what info. does anyone have that Brad is gay? I’m reading this site but no one has mentioned any specifics.
Wow. Nice condescending post
The “past, present, future” clue made me think it was someone associated with A Christmas Carol, either the most recent incarnation, or an earlier one. However, after minutes of exhaustive research, I have been unable to come up with anyone who would fit this except possibly Jennifer Love Hewitt (who was in a made for TV version of A Christmas Carol with Kelsey Grammar a few years ago), who got “engaged” to Jamie Kennedy this Fall but at the time had not yet received a ring (according to news reports). However, I’m not sure the other parts fit. Don’t know that the relationship is really bringing her that much publicity. So . . . never mind, but I still think that clue is significant.
Not that I think this is really the answer, but Jim Carrey is now starring in A Christmas Carol, the new Disney film. Hmmmm…
But it seems as though BG is almost confirming it as Renee and Brad.
MaryMac – No. We’d just like to come up with some nicknames for Hollywood couples that are unique to this site. Love, BG
OK then…Jim and Jen it is FTW!
I like the Jim/Jenny guess. He does raise her profile quite a bit
renee was in a movie with jim carrey, and then they dated, which could be the link there. jenny doesn’t raise jim’s profile, even if he raises hers. so if there is a connection to christmas carol it could be because renee once dated jim.
hmmm

I’d guess the majority of men who pursue a professional acting career (not a hobby, but a real career) are gay. Let’s face it, these men are the same gay theater geeks we all knew in high school. I don’t really know any straight guys over the age of 8 who love to play pretend, ya know?
I think there’s a high percentage of gays to straights in the entertainment industry. But don’t over react. If even most of them came out it would look like an avalanche since I think there’s about 3 or 4 out of closet now. That leaves many, many hiding. But, I don’t think it’s the majority unless you count the crafts and not just actors. THAT would drive it up with make-up, scenery, dancers, singers, etc. What disturbs me is how many people think being gay is bad. Hiding what or who you are is bad, not being gay.
It’s not that they think it’s bad so much as the producers, directors, the tabloids, the majority of moviegoers, the religious right, the tinker, tailor, soldier and spy!
It’s Jim Carrey and his girlfriend
Lainey Gossip had pics of Squinty walking with possibly Brads parents. In the blind- it says they have already met each others families.
I’m with Renee and Brad except for the wording “boosts her image and her income”. Yes it boosts her image but I don’t understand the income angle. Yes, Renee is getting a little long in the tooth for romantic comedy but she is still a bigger star than Brad?
As for the Zac guess I think he is a little young to have a boyfriend in the shadows for “several years”.
Renee’s image and income do not need a boost. Not sure who it is but not Renee and Bradley.
Hmmm Jim Carey & Jenny McCarthy is an interesting guess and would make sense with the clues in the Blind.
I’m laughing SO HARD about the Branee Coopee’ comment.
I think it’s Coopee (LOL! it’s possible Jenny and Jim are in a fauxmance, even though I’ve never heard gay rumours about him. BUT, wasn’t she supposedly having an “affair” with dean mcdermott-spelling? if her bf really is gay, it would explain her need to get laid. hopefully she makes mcspelling cover up that tori tattoo while they’re banging. yikes!!!!!
What about Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr?? They just shot down the rumor that they’re engaged right now, but one could be forthcoming. He definitely seems gay.
I hope Bradley isn’t gay. I think he’s smoking.
miranda is not an actress which the BI says she is.
Renee and Bradley haven’t been together all that long, just a few months really. The blind says whoever it is has been dating for a while and his BF has been forced to lurk in the shadows for several YEARS. I like the Jim/Jenny guess. I never got a gay vibe from him, but one never knows. He’s still a big star and has definitely boosted her profile. If not them, them a couple with a similar dynamic. So who else has been “dating” or in a “relationship” for a few years but remain unmarried?
I think Renee and Bradley make sense, except they haven’t been together for all that long, have they? The blind doesn’t specify a number though – so I suppose a few months could be considered a decent amount of time (in Hollywood terms)
Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy have both publicly said on numerous occasions that they have no interest in getting married – so I’m not so sure about those too. Haven’t ever really heard any rumors re: Jim Carrey.
Vanessa and Zac seem too young to match this guess.
Orlando Bloom & Miranda Kerr could be a match – though I feel both their careers aren’t particularly strong. I guess a little stronger than if they weren’t together?
Totally Squinty & Brad.
Wait. Didn’t Renee divorce – or get an annulment from – Kenny Chesney on the grounds that he was a fraud? It’s been speculated that he is gay (or something else she found out about after their quicky marriage) and basically misrepresented himself to her. So it’s not logical that she would hook-up with another closeted gay man AND accept his shadow-y lover. Zellweger has integrity and she’d never knowingly beard a gay husband, which throws question on the whole “Bradley is Gay” theory.
I recall a past blind about an actress / singer breakup: the singer didn’t give up his groupies and backstage action once he was married, and the actress saw that as an embarrassment or scandal waiting to happen. I figured it was Renee and Kenny Chesney. Anyone else recall that blind?
If coming out is still seen as a kiss of death for an actor, perhaps she feels Bradley Cooper will keep his end of the bargain and be a safer bet…
Also, if I’m remembering correctly, the blind thought to be Bradley Cooper was about a young actor who had an affair with an older actor to get a job. This was around BC’s Alias days. If that blind was about BC, it doesn’t necessarily mean he’s gay or bi, just an opportunist. People will do some wild and crazy things for money/fame.
Some of the biggest superstars have done just that. Not naming names; but it’s well-known!
I live in Nashville, TN and among country music circles down here it’s essentially common knowledge that Kenny Chesney is gay. I don’t know about what happened with him and Renee, but I do personally know of men who have supposedly seriously dated Kenny.
Boo– I don’t think anyone would be making fun of Renee for being squinty if that were her actual appearance– it’s that squinty, kissyface she’s always making when posing.
Renee got out of a marriage to someone she allegedly labeled “Fraud”.
So why would she go right back into a similar situation; instead of staying with the first one?
I think it’s Jim & Jenny. One tip-off was the tags on the post. It says ‘film, television’. If you read the wikipedia on Jenny she has done mainly TV. Jim is most famous for his movie roles (and yes, has done TV too). They started dating in 2005, as a pair they are more noteworthy than on their own, he definitely boosts her image, they seem almost ‘too perfect’ for each other, and both have said in interviews that they don’t need a piece of paper to prove their love. The blind says the ring will go to the boyfriend, not to her, so this makes sense, as he clearly doesn’t want to get married to Jenny. The part about the relationship affecting her income is a head-scratcher. We’d have to see what parts she has gotten since they started dating in 05. Also, his personal life has always seemed pretty under-the-radar. I never hear any gossip about him, which could explain the blind- if he IS gay he would work really hard to keep his personal life out of the press. My 2c!
BUT, hmmm…. supports the Jim & Jenny argument or no…?
http://www.popcrunch.com/jim-carrey-jenny-mccarthy-commitment-ceremony/
Hmmm is right….Jim was with Renee before for quite a while and she is certainly known for bearding.
Can’t be B Coop and Renee. He does nothing for her career, she’s still a bigger star than he is, Oscar and all. Didn’t know she was part Lapp, that explains a lot about the way she looks. I’d bet on Jim and Jenny. She certainly does get more press coverage as his girlfriend, and she gets invited to do more stuff when he’s around. Doesn’t she have anyone on the side either?
The whole thing about having more press together than separately and also about waiting for several years makes me only think of Brangelina. There are ways to have a child together without sex!
Hi, i just thought i’d post and let you know your blogs layout is really messed up on the G-Matrix browser. Anyhow keep up the good work.
[...] week or so ago, and saw how many people were dead certain that Renée and Bradley were the answer: BlindGossip – This actress is expecting a very special gift of jewelry soon from her actor boyfriend. After [...]
I’m guessing Zac and Vanessa, they’ve been together for years now and are just old enough that the public wouldn’t freak out so much about them getting engaged. Plus, she’s been out of the spotlight a bit and would love something like this to put her back in it, I would think. It certainly would up her income. Brad and Renee have only been together a few months, she’s technically a much bigger star than he is (so she really doesn’t need him quite that much), and she annulled her marriage to gay Kenny on grounds of fraud, so it just doesn’t seem as likely. But hey, I could be wrong.
Renee also dated George Clooney – so thats Jim Carrey, George Clooney and now Cooper.
