BuzzFoto – This celeb with a famous parent is planning on selling some information about their troubled childhood to someone writing a book about the parent’s life. The book is supposed to reveal scandalous info including shocking allegations about the parenting mistakes the famous parent made. The celeb looking to cash in on the situation, doesn’t really need the money- but wants some sort of vindication for being a victim of some pretty terrible things. We imagine the celeb source will stay anonymous, but you’ll know who it is when the book comes out.
The way I read this, there is only one famous parent? That eliminated my Kate Hudson or Gwyneth Paltrow guesses.
i think it’s just that there’s only one BAD parent, not necessarily only one who’s famous.
Agreed and Kate and Gwyneth both gush about their parents so don’t think they are a right fit.
Someone from the Jackson family?
One of Ryan o’neal kids?
That’s a good one and that guy has a gold medal in bad parenting. I bet it’s Griffin rather than Tatum. Tatum’s career is dwindling but Griffin is the first in line to attack his father.
But it says they don’t need the money. It doesn’t appear that either of the two Oneal kids is rolling in cash.
Any is there really anything they could say about Ryan at this point that would be “scandalous” or “shocking.” As you said, he’s notorious.
Ooohh, notorious! That just made me think of Tori Spelling. She doesn’t get along with her mom and she would be vindicated if the stories came out.
Exactly my thoughts.
I’m going with Tatum O’Neal.
She already did years ago in a book.
Given that her father mistook her for another broad at Farrah’s funeral and hit on her, a sequel may be needed.
Barf!
Tatum O’Neil and Mackenzie Philips both had incredibly shoddy childhoods.
How about Tori Spelling?
I really thought Tori Spelling when I read this. She has been on the outs with her mom (off and on) since her dad was dying.
Not that your guess is wrong, it could totally be her, but Tori and Candy have both spoken recently about them reconciling and having a great relationship now.
Besides, I think Tori wants the rest of dad’s money. Doing this would surely nix that.
tori spelling already talked about how bad her mom was as a parent in both of her books
Maybe Lindsay Lohan, it says “celeb with famous parent” so it could mean the child is the star and the parent is well known becasuse of it? Although it says the child DOESN’T need the money so maybe not(!)
Totally agreed.
That Douglas kid?
Doubtful, he needs the money and isn’t really a celeb himself.
This was actually my thought. Maybe he doesn’t need the money because he will be in jail for life, but wants revenge?!?
Well thought out. The jail for life part.
You still need money in prison, to buy commissary items ( hygiene products and packaged foods, or simply items you can trade in exchange for not being someone’s involuntary girlfriend)
Tatum O’Neal’s cute little attempt at a memoir was already pretty scathing to Ryan, and with his current issues with all of his sons, I don’ think anyone would really be shocked to hear he was a less than stellar dad.
does chaz bono count as a celeb?
is angelina too obvious?
just for fun, i’m going with Charlie Sheen. Maybe he wants to take the spotlight/blame off himself for a minute…
any of those guesses are good…I really think it could be Angelina. (I know everyone complains when people guess her but it fits). She is a celeb with a famous parent, doesn’t need the money, and is well known for using the media to manipulate situations, as well as being a kook. I see her as someone who would totally get revenge on someone like that…sneaky
good guess!
she needs something to divert the publics’ attention away from the breakup and help her maintain her “St. Angie” image
Angelina Jolie
agree with you, . . . sneaky (non)
Angie was my immediate guess. She seems to have a vendetta against her daddy, Jon Voight.
I say Redmond O’Neil (Ryan) or Sean Stewart (Rod).
“This celeb with a famous parent”
Redmond and Sean are not a celebs.
Brooke Hogan
Good guess
I’m with you on this one!
Frances Bean Cobain
While I do like this guess, I can hardly see much of what Courtney does as “shocking”.
Frances Bean is also not a celebrity.
Ditto.
Sorry, the ditto was to the nothing Courtney does is shocking. I replied to that but it came up under CMG. Sry.
I thought this guess at first too but Frances B. isn’t a celebrity.
I don’t know. If you’re old enough to remember the early 90′s then she has a LOT of name recognition. She was like Suri Cruise for a while.
Tell that to all the Nirvana fans still out there. The fact that we refer to her as “Frances Bean” and people know that she’s Kurt Cobain & Courtney Love’s kid, makes her a celebrity, I would argue.
If that’s all it takes to be a celeb, then my guess is Lourdes.
I disagree. I know her name, ive seen her pictures in magazines (and im all the way over in australia). What she actually does, i have no idea.
But i would suggest that makes her a celebrity. Most people would know who cl and kurts daughter is although…. i cant imagine the expose being particually suprising. CL is a train wreck
Are you joking?
Frances has been a celebrity pretty well since Kurt passed.
I think that with the custody thing going on, and Courtney trying to sue Frances’s legal guardians, that she is going to really confirm to the world exactly how awful it has been to live with Courtney Love.
I am guessing it was 50X worse than any of us ever imagined!
No idea. All I can add is it appears the famous parent in this seems to have an (unauthorised presumably) autobiography on it’s way about them, which doesn’t appear to be affecting a partner of theirs, and our celeb is spilling the beans for their own reasons.
My initial thought was it’s a Jackson, but both the parents were on the scene there which doesn’t appear to be the case in the blind with all the references to “parent” as opposed to “parents”.
How do u have an unauthorized autobiography? Multiple personality disorder?
Unauthorized means without discretion to the person of note.
note the irony… the poster wrote autobiography, not biography. Presumably the author of an autobiography authorizes it, unless it is a case of sleep-writing.
:-X I think that some autobiographers could be accused of that.
…an Ambien-biography?
>rim shot!<
autobiography means written about the self.
Tehehe. . . that’s too funny!
An autobiography is a book about you that you write yourself. A Biography is a book about you written by someone else.
How about Ashley Judd and her mom, read somewhere that she was writting a book about her difficult childhood.
I like this guess.
http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE60P5UL20100126?type=entertainmentNews
But it says the book is about the parent. The book Ashley wrote is about herself and anything in it would be attributed to her, so it wouldn’t be anonymous.
Maddox?
LMAO!
And if it’s not him now, it will be one day, for sure!
The entire Jolie-Pitt clan always looks unhappy to me. Not what you’d expect, given all of the glowing reviews you read about Brangelina, the parents.
LOL
lionel ritchie and nicole?
That’s who I thought about immediately, but I love Lionel, so I hope it’s not him.
this is a good guess.
also wondered about kelly or jack osbourne.
Maybe Angelina Jolie, perhaps someone is writing a book on jon voight
My guess, too.
Nah, she’s too busy saving the world, making a movie and making Billy Goat move to the pool house!
Her hatred of her father also cannot be articulated in a book. It runs too deep.
HEY-O!
Who would want to read a book about Jon Voight?
She is vindictive enough, that’s for sure and she usually gets aways with doing sleazy things and having no one know if comes from her.
Which would be crazy because shes already been so vocal about how much she hates him.
I dont think anyone would even buy that book. Shes been b**ching about her father for decades
I thought this guess too but when you really think bout it what her dad do??? Cheat on her mom and leave them, yes totally horrible but she did the same thing TWICE!!! True she has daddy issues but nothing that sever. Some kids of actor’s who abandon them don’t get to go on trips around the world and don’t get to live and go to Beverly Hills High. Just a though…
wait, angelina has cheated on a spouse and left her kids? How did I miss THAT? lol.
No, Billy Bob Thorton was engaged to someone and “St. Angie” swooped right on in with her succubus wings and made him leave her and she and him got married.
Billy Bob dumped Laura Dern for Angelina
jon voight left when she was a baby or a toddler. i doubt there will be much there as she has always maintained he was a bad father. what about one of demi and bruces’s girls? doubt it but only guess i can think of. or one of the osbornes
Demi and Bruce’s kids seem close to their parents to do something like that. Demi is a bit weird but I would call her a bad parent.
I thought they had made some progress in their relationship, especially after she had the twins. Maybe that was PR crap though.
2008 election drove them apart and Angie always hated what he did to her mother.
No, don’t think it could be the Osborns, Sharon and Ozzy
are really supportive parents and the things that happened
to their kids was due to the Hollywood enviroment.
I keep thinking Mackenzie Phillips, but we know it all
by now, yikes!
The person selling the info ‘doesnt need the money’, as in either has family bucks galore or is well off from their career. I dont know what Chaz does, is uh he wealthy enough to ‘not need the money but want the vindication’? Angelina Jolie is a good guess…Tori…dont we already know plenty about Candy? Not much of Courtney’s actions seem secretive but Frances is a good thought too. To go to that extent for vindication, I think it must be someone no one would really guess capable of terrible things against their child.
Drew Barrymore.
Thats a good guess too,
It will be annonymous but we will find out when the book comes out, her drug use as a child, rehab, etc… i like this more and more
Her mother wasn’t a celebrity unless you count her celebrity letting Drew go on drug benders before she was 13. She barely knew her father.
I think maybe its Frances Bean Cobain.Mother/daughter currently estranged-stated domestic violence in the legal papers. Also there is a clip on you tube of Frances and Courtney at a grammy party years ago and Courtney is teasing Frances about wire coat hangers-Mommie dearest inspired-And Frances put on her now deleted twitter page -”I have no issues with wire coat hangers”-Is Frances considered a celeb though?
Back in the earlier days she was kind of. When her dad died, people wanted to know everything about her, and followed her around for years.
I agree I think it’s Frances Bean especially with the coat hangers comment.
Maybe somebody with stage parents, like Britney Spears or Jessica Simpson or their younger sisters?
Can’t wait to read all the dirt:P
I really think this blind is about someone famous in his/her own right, with a parent who is famous in his/her own right. That’t the way I read it…a lot of parents of young stars become well known, but I wouldn’t call them celebrities.
..ohhhh, or one of Demi’s girls? They’re kinda out of control.
or Emma Roberts, Miley Cyrus?
Emma’s career is on the rise. Her relationship with Eric Roberts is non-existent too. I think she knows Julia better even.
Oh! Demi’s girls! I like thus guess, and I’d buy that
book.
Mariska Hargitay re: Jayne Mansfield
wasn’t Mariska like 4-5 when her mother died? although you might be right, it does say “infamous parent”, which doesn’t apply to some of my guesses.
I just checked this out, and you are 100% correct – Mariska was three when her mom passed away. Back to the drawing board for me… LOL
…and she kinda strikes me as “wholesome”, I think she worked hard to shake that, well, sleaze off;)
The pic at BuzzFoto for this blind is of Liv Tyler. So not her, but maybe another “adult child of a has-been rocker”?
I *think* the pic is Faye Dunaway as Joan Crawford in Mommie Dearest.
*nevermind* reread your post @ buzzfoto. *sry*
and Bijou Philips?! her sister yet wrote her(awful) story with their dad but her?!
so… maybe Minka Kelly? she has her own $$$ from acting, plus is gonna marry Jeter.
Why would Angelina hate her father so for cheating on her mother when she’s guilty of the same crime? I don’t get it.
OMG thank you SO MUCH for saying that!
Because… she is a total nutbag but has the media sorted.
Anyone of her ‘rainbow family’ will be writing books when they are older.
Or because even though the parents divorced he was a scumbag who abused his kids. I would not be shocked in the least if there were allegations of sexual abuse. She has kept her kids from him (her dad), has acted out sexually in various ways, seems have been on a quest for stability and “perfect” parenting/family. I think it makes total sense. Both Jolie and her brother adore (idolize) thier mother, they have a strangely close relationship with each other and both hate the father. Sounds to me like divorce was the least of that family’s issues.
People who have books coming out that I noted are Paul Newman and Clint Eastwood. Hopefully not Paul!
noooooooooooooooooo!
Who are their famous kids, though?
Eastwood is a big believer in nepotism, he has a couple of really good looking sins that have been in his movies, a beautiful daughter too. His older son Kyle is also a musician. And Newman’s daughters have acted too. They aren’t big celebs but they fo work in the industry.
Liv Tyler.
Liv Tyler didn’t know Steve was her dad until she was in her early teens. Her acting dad was Todd Rundgren.
It is Ashley Judd here is the link http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE60P5UL20100126?type=entertainmentNews
i believe you’re right!
i guess the answer could be this obvious
Winona has come out about how difficult Naomi was and Ashley just sat there (Oprah) and said nothing
maybe she realized she has residual damage as their fathers were different and Naomi admits she was driven to fame, forsaking (good) parenting for a career
I’ll guess Ashley Judd
Can’t be her because the book is going to be about the parents life. The celeb is just feeding the information.
How about Liza?
She would lose so many fans if she trashed Judy Garland.
but maybe Judy Garland isn’t the parent she’s trashing…..her dad was a big director at MGM
there has already been a ton of books on Judy Garland and both Liza and her sister have spoken openly about their dysfunctional childhood so I doubt it would be her, especially from that long ago.
Lorna already wrote her copy-and-paste job of a memoir. Liza wouldn’t dare speak badly on her parents. Judy would have risked an arm and a leg for her kids!
Michael Douglas…
http://au.lifestyle.yahoo.com/who/latest-news/article/-/6716236/michael-douglas-admits-his-failures-as-a-father/
Just throwing this out there…..how about Jamie Lee Curtis? Her folks were both famous, Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh?
That’s a good one. Jamie Lee Curtis supposedly went up to her mother’s ex-boyfriend Ralph Kiner (a former baseball star and broadcaster) one saying she was convinced he fathered her and not Tony. She and her father do not have a good relationship.
Jamie Lee Curtis doesn’t resemble Tony Curtis very much.
Ralph Kiner? He was sexier than TC!
TC made a quote about MM that was widely publicized back in the day: ‘KISSING MARILYN MONROE WAS LIKE KISSING HITLER!”
So he kissed Hitler?, a wag asked.
i go with one of the willis girls on this.
Jade Jagger
Or any of his other kids for that matter.
Everything I have ever read shows Mick to be reasonably close to all his children. Keith as well.
angelina. solve us, BG!
Save us BG. I’m outta control.
Frances, Courtney Loves’ kid? I bet she’s got some explosive stuff to share.
Liv Tyler’s photo on the BuzzFoto website inspired me to search for other rock star daughters and I came across the twenty-year-old daughter that Gavin Rossdale had. Her name is Daisy Lowe. Check her out:
http://www.maxim.com/girls/girls-of-maxim/85305/hottest-daughters-rock-stars.html#8
Definitely agree with this. She has money on her own from modelling, so she wouldn’t need it, and it seems like they are kind of estranged.
yeah i dont know about this one. Gavin Rossdale has been gallavanting with gwen stefani since the 90′s, and I am pretty sure the fact that daisy was even his daughter was info that just came to light in the past 5 years
Bijou Phillips? Does she have her own secrets to tell about Papa John?
Peaches Geldof? Maybe Bob isn’t a saint after all.
I’m still searching… It seems that Andrew Morton is writing a biography of Angelina Jolie that will be out in August 2010. Maybe he paid Angie to spill some secrets about Jon Voight. This may not be too far-fetched since Diana actually collaborated with him on her “unauthorized” biography when she wanted the truth to be told about Charles and Camilla.
Duh, Pax and Maddox
Stella McCartney.
You know, I was just about to guess Stella McCartney. She definitely doesn’t need the money with her own fashion line, but she does seem to have a great relationship with her dad.
Lisa Marie Presley and Priscilla “Presley”? I don’t think Lisa would trash her father. However, Priscilla was a notoriously bad mother. Before and after Elvis died she tried to remove all traces of him from her life. She had an affair with Julio Iglesias. She was fame hungry. She knowingly had a 7-year relationship with a man who molested Lisa. Lisa has resented her mother for years and only recently have they had a civil relationship. She moved her new family to England whereas her mother lives in California. Maybe she doesn’t want her mother near her new kids? I wouldn’t be shocked if there was more to the story.
oh i like this guess.
where do you all get this juicy stuff?? I have no idea who this gossp bit is about but I am sure reading a lot of interesting stuff…
I have WAY more dish on Priscilla if you’re interested…
go on, i am interested
We’re ALL interested
there’s been a lot of rumors about why LMP’s been in exile over in London and this is the main one…
I dunno. Would anyone care about a book about Patty Duke? Could be Sean Astin although they already have been interviewed talking bout her being crazy.
maddox and angelina
It’s Jason “Gummy Bear” Davis, for shore!
http://www.denverpost.com/search/ci_14242671
good one
liv tyler
Just saw story about Ashley Judd writing memoir about her horrible childhood on Gossip cop.
Kate Hudson?!
Kate Hudson and Goldie Hawn?
I was going to throw put Carrie fisher and her nasty dad Eddie, but after thinking about it I realized there was no way Carrie would waste good material.
Oops Throw put= throw out. Tiny iPhone keys.
Or how about Melanie griffin and tippi hedron? Maybe Melanie is bitter about mom letting her live with don Johnson when she was 14.
My first thought was Angelina as well.
Francis Bean Cobain
Michael Douglas about Kurt. Charlie or Emilio about Martin. Beau about Lloyd Bridges.
Michael loves Kirk. Martin probably should write a book about what a piece of work Charlie is. Lloyd Bridges would be shocking and if Beau did that he would be further in his brother’s shadow.
Made me think of Charlie Sheen. Martin Sheen has always said that he made huge mistakes with him that he felt he didnt make with his other kids and they had a pretty bad relationship for a long time. Maybe with all of this stuff going on with him, he wants to be seen as a victim?
Drew Barrymore? Or the girl who was in Joan of Arcadia?
Jason Ritter…. Dad john Ritter used to beat him with suzanne sommers
Bijou?
Melanie Griffith?
How about Chaz (Chastity) Bono? There’s been tension over the gender surgery (Chaz once said Cher was freaked out over it) and Cher may have been to self-absorbed to be a good parent.
No Cher freaked out when Chaz was Chastity and came out as a lesbian but soon got over it and loved her for who she is. I don’t think there is tension over her sex change.
I totally thought Kate Hudson while reading this. So we shall see in a few months what comes out.
If this person doesn’t need the money then they’re doing it because they need to boost the public’s perception of them. And so this makes me wonder, who is looking needy and desperate these days, who may want to change their public image?
Jennifer Aniston – dad is an actor.
Defs Suri Cruise
Kiefer Sutherland – re: Donald?
Jennifer Aniston.. remember her mother issues?
Her dad John Anniston is (was?) on Days of Our Lives
I guessed 2 different people and now I’m gonna add Lisa Marie to the list
all good candidates based on all the posters’ info
The one that sticks with me is Angelina with ghost writer Andrew Morton based on his, er “secret” deal with Princess Diana . . . he seems to remain discreet until he is “allowed” to reveal the collaboration
I love a puzzle
What about jason davis (Brandon Davis blonde brother)? He has made remarks about his family.
Minka Kelly?
Lola Sheen-Richardson??
Oh wait, that’ll happen in about 17 years…
Alexis and Martha Stewart?
Ashley Judd is planning to pen an autobio about her troubled childhood to ‘help’ others
Courtney Love and her daughter something Bean lol. I feel bad for that child
Alexis Stewart? I can only imagine that Martha wasnt the easiest mother to have.
Madonna and Lourdes?
What about AJ Lamas? Idk his mom but doesn’t get along with famous dad
Katie Cassidy?
Her dad is David Cassidy and discouraged her attempts at celebrity from the get-go.
Definitely Ashley Judd.
One of Tom Cruise’s kids?
Solve BG!
PLZZZZ! or even more clues! I am dying to know this one…
