[CDAN] You would think that if you had reached the level that this A list movie actress has reached that you could keep yourself from trying to copy other people who are not as successful. A little bit about our A list movie actress. She is an Academy Award nominee/winner. Yep. She is that big. Oh, she did do some television back in the day and it was a very memorable, but brief role on a hit show. For the past year she has slowly begun to copy every move of this B list movie actress who is a B lister by looks alone and should in no way imply that she has any acting talent whatsoever. The two share one very important thing in common. Child/ren. If you see the B list actress do something with her child/ren, within 24 hours you will see our A lister do the same thing. B lister goes on vacation and gets photographed in a bikini? A lister gets on a plane the second she can and does the same thing. So far it is just weird, but not creepy. Does it make it more creepy if our A lister calls her guy in bed the same name as the husband of the B lister? Does it make it more creepy if the A lister has been trying to track down some of the B lister’s ex-boyfriends to talk to them and also see if they are open to a little more besides talking? Oh, how about showing up at places she knows the B lister will be but never actually speaks to her. Oh, and this will be revealed.
This blind is strange and creepy.lol
Hehe. My question is – what has come out of the photocopier? Is that a picture of a cow?? Can anyone work out what it is? There’s a clue there…..
I believe it is the cat’s bottom
How about
Angelina Jolie
Jennifer Aniston
Aniston doesn’t have kids unless you count her “inner child”
No idea who it is – but I’m ecstatic it will be revealed!
LeAnn Rimes are you a well-known actress now?
I can’t believe I made it all the way through this one.
How weird! Rightly or wrongly, Nicole Kidman comes to mind for the A-lister..
How many times have you seen Nicole Kidman photographed in a bikini on a beach?
Nicole Kidman and the sun are enemies.
LOL. I can’t wait for the reveal.
What a creep!
A lister Halle Berry
B lister Jessica Alba
I like this a lot! Halle is insecure enough to do something like this.
I like this guess because it’s obviously someone a little off and Halle is a little off. Maybe she’s jealous of the attention of a younger actress and is trying to emulate her by studying her.
this guess makes some sense to me. Halle seems so much more aggressive career-wise than Jessica. Who knows, maybe it bothers her that Jessica is so low-key yet still gets tons of attention, mainly because of her looks. Also, could the “memorable” be referring to Halle’s role on “Living Dolls” where according to Wikipedia she collapsed during filming and was diagnosed with diabetes?
sorry to reply to myself but just read further down on Wikipedia that she was on an episode of the TV series “Amen”. The episode she was on was title “Unforgettable”. Unforgettable = memorable?
Goodguess, maybe Gabriel will reveal it because of all the crap that is going on with the custody thing
And this suggestion makes a whole lot of sense. What better way to suggest instability in a child custody case than to tell about your ex’s stalking ways?
I like this guess a lot. It seems like both women are always photographed wearing bikinis on the beach and taking their daughters places. I’m not sure about the memorable tv thing for Halle but she did win lots of awards for that tv movie Introducing Dorothy Dandridge. Both women seem to fit the clues well.
Halle/Jessica Alba was my immediate guess when I read the blind as well.
defo these 2, the cat being a dead giveaway with halle playing catwoman
Okay, what is cracking me up is imagining someone yelling “Cash!” in bed! I bet a lot of them are thinking of $ while in bed….
“I bet a lot of them are thinking of $ while in bed.” Hysterical! And amen to that!
All I got is Michelle Williams. At a stretch Nicole but she really wasn’t in any international hit tv shows, just in aus….
I have NO CLUE… but this is so CREEPY…
Maybe Julia Roberts for the A-lister
still workin’ on the rest
she was my first thought as well.
A lister: Reese Witherspoon (?)
B lister: ??
B-lister sounds like Alba.
The copycat seems like Reese Witherspoon, and looking to see who came back from a beach vacation just before her with family…Jessica Alba.
(do I need to verify my registration? All my comments are staying in moderation without being approved.)
omg that’s just… weird. yup. NO idea who. GLAD it’s going to be revealed!
Reese Witherspoon and Julia Roberts both appeared on friends
Reese was Rachels Sister memorable enough. Julia was more memorable played Susie Moss: “Chandler meets a former classmate, Susie Moss, whom he once humiliated causing her to be nicknamed ‘Susie underpants’, but now makes him ask her out and wear her panties, alas not just for the kick” IMBD
My bets with Julia for the A Lister But who is the B Lister!!! I just cant see Reese doing this.
ALISTER JULIA ROBERTS
BLISTER ????
B lister is KATE BECKINSALE!!! I’m telling you I have a feeling about this. Though I would put Gwynnie as the A lister. I don’t think Julia gives a rat’s behind about anyone else but herself and her life. To copy someone like that is like perverted respect. And I doubt Julia respects anyone but herself.
Julia Roberts immediately popped into my head, but sure that’s wrong. I love this blind. I can’t wait to see the guesses!
My first guess, as well. Her memorable moment on tv was on “Friends”. She took revenge on Chandler Bing.
No clue on the B actress.
I’m thinking Reese because of her Friends role, but I can’t imagine her acting like this.
Me either. She seems like she could be a little stuck up, but I don’t get the psycho vibe at all. Plus, calling her new husband somebody else’s husband’s name in bed? Too far-fetched!
Pray tell, when did Aniston squeeze out a pup?
A-lister…crazy, CAT girl, Halle Berry.
B-lister.. ??????????????????
I wonder if this is Reese Witherspoon; she was on Friends as Rachel’s sister
I think the person being copied is Jessica Alba, but I can’t think of who the A list stalker is
I think the correct answer is Cluster B personality disorder?
Hahahaha
You are certainly not far from the truth.
Have no idea who this is, but this all seems like the Hollywood Single White Female. O.o
what’s Jennifer Jason Leigh up to nowadays?
I have no idea who the A lister is (CZJ?) but I think the B lister is Denise Richards for sure.
B lister Denise Richards? Seriously? She’s off the list IMO.
I don’t know. If you go by looks and not acting talent (as per the blind), it could be her. She also gets a ton of attention as the “stable” parent. Also, if the A-lister has a weird fascination with Sheen, I could see this. Denise Richards also shows up at a lot of industry events where her notoriety, not her talent, grants her access. She is also frequently photographed with kids and in a bikini. A-lister is who, then?
The blind says B list movie actress due to looks alone. The way I took that is that the actress gets enough movie roles (and attention) just based on her looks to put her at a B list in terms of movie actresses.
My problem with Denise Richards is that she is no longer a movie actress. She may get attention (does she?) she may be attractive (is she?… very blah waspy looking to me), but a movie actress she no longer is. She’s a reality star.
This is CDAN (Enty) we are talking about. Enty considers Nat Portman a B list movie actress. IMO, there is no way Denise Richards is even on that list, let alone a B, if Nat Portman is a B (according to Enty who wrote that blind).
B list actresses do not do reality TV. Once you go trash, you never go back. Just ask Pierre Cardin
Taking all of the subjective ABC lists out of it, the item specifies a married B-lister. Denise is not married.
I’m totally trying to make Halle Berry fit. For TV she did Living Dolls – not memorable, Knots Landing – probably not memorable, and Queen – memorable because it’s Alex Haley. Not sure if I’m missing anything other options. But I think she’s just the right amount of crazy for this.
Unfortunately I’m still stuck on which B list it could be, but wanted to throw it out there.
The copycat sounds like Charlize Theron, she was notorious for doing that kind of thing when she was still an up and comer. No children though, so it ain’t her.
Kate Winslet has both been nominated without winning and won, and did that guest bit on Extras that was pretty memorable. Could it be her?
Or… Julia Roberts was both nominated without winning (for Pretty Woman, jeezus) and won for Erin Brokovich and did that guest spot on Friends when it was at its height. Has children too, so would fit.
The only other possibility I can think of is GOOPy, but she only got one nomination and that was the year she won, so there was no nom without a win… if that is in fact what the blind means. Hit show would be Glee.
As for the B-lister, the description “for looks alone” makes me think of Megan Fox.
Nominee/winner means and/or. As in they are either a nominee, a winner, or both. So you don’t need to find someone who was both nominated and didn’t win, and also a winner another a year.
Well you can’t win without being nominated, so the “nominee” part for a winner should go without saying. I think that’s what that person is going on.
The ‘looks alone’ comment made me think of Megan Fox, but unless you count her stepson, she doesn’t have children of her own.
Reese Witherspoon and Gwyneth Paltrow
Much as it pains me to say it, Goopy is a solid A.
A lister Gwyneth Paltrow
B lister Jessica Alba
I agree with your choice for A Lister: Gwyneth Paltrow
“B list movie actress who is a B lister by looks alone?”….. I think that would remove Jessica because she’s beautiful and would be given an A for looks alone. So whoever it is must be on the fug side. Cannot imagine who the B Lister is?!?! Hope this one gets solved so we can find out who Gwyneth is stalking!
No. B lister by looks alone means it’s only her looks that have gotten her on ANY list. Whoever it is is good looking, not fug.
Totally agree with your logic, Mermaid. Which when applied means, to me, that there’s no way in HELL the B-lister is Jessica Alba. Am I the only person on this planet who thinks she is NOT AT ALL attractive??? SO don’t get the appeal; she’s actually quite fug to me.
That said, I have NO idea who this is…but it’s uber-creepy. Single White Female creepy.
griff, I don’t see Alba’s appeal either – never have – as I mentioned before (in moderation). She’s meh to me, but Kate Beckinsale is strikingly pretty (I think).
Well, I guess we will find out when its solved. In the meantime, I’m going with FUG!
Yay, Mermaid–I’m not the only one on the “Alba is fug” train!! And I’ve always thought Beckinsale is GORGEOUS…but I *do* get that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Chatty, I think your A-list guess is a solid one…but if your theory about the B-lister being fug is correct, I’m going to have to counter you and guess Ms. Alba! Highly doubt it’ll ever be revealed, however…but we can all dream, can’t we?
I dunno. You think Gwynnie is ever in bed (to call him another name) with her hubby, given that they live nowhere near each other?
What very memorable role did she have on a hit tv show “back in the day”? She doesn’t fit.
A lister: Reese Witherspoon
B lister: Jessica Alba
I’m guessing Kate Beckinsale for the attractive B-lister. She was in those vampire movies (creepy reference) and is married with a kid. I also recall some bikini pics of hers that were posted where her behind was heavily complimented.
And Gwynnie Paltrow for the A-lister. They both live in the UK right? I sincerely doubt Gwynnie would copy Jessica Alba who I would think Gwynnie views as “beneath her”.
Also, Kate & Gwynnie are the same age (give or take a couple of years) and Kate is married to Len Wiseman (just googled that as I don’t follow her) and I could see Gwynnie calling her man “wise man” as she thinks her man is brilliant (she has stated he is a genius and like the musical Picasso). Also, I could see Gwynnie wanting to cheat on her man since everyone knows he cheats on her.
So ..
Gwynnie Paltrow – A lister single what femaling …
Kate Beckinsale – B lister for looks alone
Because, keep in mind, most men would balk at being called the name of another man in bed unless it was something like “wise man” which they wouldn’t guess would be someone’s last name and would think it spoke to their intellectual abilities.
I bet Jessica Alba calls Cash Warren “frenchy”
LOL! I like the way your mind works.
But if you go on rumors that Ive heard in general (and from someone that supposedly worked for her publicist years ago), gwyns got a few screws loose and isnt the brightest bird. i dont put any crazy behavior past her, including becoming obsessed with someone that she might see as beneath her.
I’ve also heard Gwyn’s not the brightest. She stated it herself, actually, by saying that back in High School she wasn’t the best student but was “in real tight” with the right crowd. (Considering her HWood connections, how could she not be?)
I just can’t see snobist, elitist Gwynnie living in the UK becoming obsessed with down-to-earth Jessica Alaba living in the US of A and buying her furniture on Craigslist (if that blind is to be believed). I just don’t see it. Kate Beckinsale puts on some airs as well so her I could see.
Not that Alba isn’t attractive, but I have never seen her appeal. And I cannot imagine any woman being obsessed enough with her to want to copy her. Men, I can see being obsessed with her but women? No. I don’t think women would be jealous of Alba (just a hunch) especially not this kind of single white female.
I agree with you on many points. I don’t get Alba’s appeal either. But every guy I know loves ALBA. So to someone with daddy/men issues like Gwynnie seems to have, I could see her becoming obsessed with someone who is the object of all the male attention, so she could get all the male attention too.
It’s very rare to see a picture of Gwyneth and her kids, so I don’t think it’s her.
What about Kate Hudson as the A-lister?
Can Kate Hudson be considered A list? If yes, then she was in Cabo recently and so was Kate Beckinsale and both are named Kate. Hudson went after Beckinsale
Honestly, I smooshed the descriptions of the two moms and got myself confused, but I suppose it’s possible. Maybe. I don’t know :$
Amy Adams was on The Office? Could she be the A-lister?
Aahh I need to simplify it!!
Revealed from the BI:
Both: Actresses with kid/s. Been photographed in a bikini within the last year. Spotted in the same place but not ‘together’, indicating they are not friends.
B-lister: Married. Better known for her beauty than ability to act. Possibly famous ex’s (hence A-lister would know who they are)
A-lister: In a relationship (Not married?). Won an oscar or been nominated (maybe both). Guest starred on a hit tv show. Calls her “guy” the B-listers husbands name, or just the same name as she calls him, in bed.
That didn’t help at all! I still don’t have a clue D=
A lister – Halle Berry
B lister – Jessica Alba
New guess:
Kate Beckinsale – B lister for looks alone who starred in all those creeper movies
Kate Hudson – A lister who is the creepy copyKate
New guess:
A lister Julia Roberts
B lister Salma Hayak
Recently both attended Sean Penn’s event for Haiti
Salma has dated Ed Norton and Colin Farell
Salma is known for her beauty not her acting skills
I was really excited to see some of the guesses after I read this one.
I think the B lister is definitely Alba. For some reason she came to mind. Didn’t have a clue who the A Lister was but Halle Berry seems to fit that crazy, obsessive kind of personality. Plus the cat has got to be a reference to her role as Cat Woman, no?
Sandra Bullock?
Reese Witherspoon copying Jessica Alba!
Reese has been working hard to market her sex appeal, looks like she found her muse!
I’ve often wondered why we are seeing her in a bikini every time we turn around this year.
At her latest premier she had revamped her style, it was very similar to her post divorce look that received raves with the bangs and similar dresses to the Nina Ricci everyone talked about.
Reese is also bisexual and may be fantasizing a bit as well!
Sign me up for Reese Witherspoon on this one. I automatically thought of her when I read this blind. I would also agree with Jessica Alba as the B lister although that’s not as set as Reese for the A lister. I also agree Reese’s bisexuality is playing into this whole thing. I would guess Reese has a a strong sexual attraction for the B list actress. To want to talk to, and meet the B’s ex’s and sleep with them as well is pretty intense.
I could see it being Reese. I see her as being really competitive. I don’t think her role as Heidi Flick in Election was much of a stretch for her. LOL
This is really creepy.
I agree that Alba seems to fit as the B-lister, but I’m less sure about Berry. Namely, what memorable-but-brief role did she have on a very popular TV series?
First time poster
Easy, the copycat is halle Berry (aka catwoman=copycat) and her “model” is Alba jessica !!!
Welcome, Abra! Love, Ace
Halle Berry for the A lister (brief but memorable role is Queen), cat = Catwoman; Jessica Alba for the B.
No idea, but for some reason this reminded me of “Basic Instinct”.
A movie about a woman killing her lovers? That’s a stretch.
All Halle Berry does is walk around with her kid and her boyfriend. I don’t see anything else that emulates Jessica Alba. Throw in the fact that she’s wound up in this custody battle and always seems to be in a bad mood, I really don’t think Halle has time (nor desire) to copy Jessica Alba.
Wouldn’t it be creepy if it was Nicole Kidman and her ex’s new wife Katie Holmes?
My first thought was Reese Witherspoon and Jessica Alba. Reese was in “Friends”, as mentioned in the comments above. Weren’t there some pictures of Alba vactioning in Mexico and then Reese in Hawaii?
I am also pretty sure Jessica was referenced in the similar way in previous CDAN blind items.
There’s just one thing that doesn’t make me feel 100% in this guess-who are ex-boyfriends of Jessica? I only know she used to date Derek Jeter, but this blind makes me think she must have had a few more famous exes.
i think salma hayek is the A-Lister…she was nominated for an Oscar for Frida, and has also had memorable guest-starring roles in Ugly Betty and 30 Rock. Plus, she voiced a Kitty in Puss in Boots–hence, Copycat.
not sure who the B-Lister is. jessica alba sounds like a good guess!
What if the picture of the cat also allude to Catwoman? Ergo; Halle Berry. Seems like whomever it is has a serious disorder, poor children. Really.
I like this idea – catwoman = Halle Berry! I mean of all things to put on a photocopier…
They could just be playing around with the word ‘copycat’
Halle’s memorable TV role was Dorothy Dandridge
That was a TV movie though, not a series.
Halle Berry was in the TV show Living Dolls which was a spin off of Who’s the Boss. She was also in a recurring roll of Knot’s Landing. And she was in the TV mini series Queen.
Totally fascinated with this blind!
I like the idea of Alba as the b-lister…
But maybe the husband/name thing means that their partners have the same name?
First time post.
Berry & Alba.
Halle Berry and Jessica Alba.
B list HAS to be Jessica Alba b/c copy machine = office = Jessica had a cameo on The Office
Another A list possibility: Jennifer Lopez? Been out on beaches lately and with her kids and Casper. Was on In Living Color for just a couple of yrs. She could get away with calling Casper ‘Cash’ since he’s got the golden ticket with her right now he can’t complain. And Jessica Alba is latino so it could makes sense she’s extra threatened by that plus her looks and for being younger than her.
Other actresses always pics w/ kids but can’t make them fit:
Jennifer Garner
Angelina Jolie
Katie Holmes
Katerhine Heigl
SJP
That’s an interesting guess but I don’t think J.Lo had any Academy Awards nominations. Golden Globes, yes (for “Selena”) but not the Oscars. Also, she’s obviously A list in terms of name recognition but her acting skills alone make her C, I guess.
JLO will be nominated for an Oscar about the same time I will.
LOLOLOLOLO!!!!
Jennifer Lopez for the A lister!
Reese is a good guess for the A lister because I was watching E! News and they have a segment called “Who Wore It Best” and coincidentally she was on there wearing the same outfit as another actress who I can’t remember. Many actresses have been on there but I immediately thought of this BI when I saw it. Jessica Alba seems like a good guess for the B list person.
Nicole Kidman recently wore the same dress as Rachel McAdams, but RM isn’t married or have kids.
Jennifer Garner for A-lister. She’s creepy.
Jennifer Garner is clearly Not A list.
She is also not an Academy Award winner or nominee.
I still say Halle Berry is too miserable to get consumed with being a copycat to anyone.
Another plausable shot:
Jennifer Hudson for A list Actress- yes, she is “that big” as in BIG before she lost weight (not to mention big voice). She was nominated and WON an Academy Award for Dreamgirls in 2006. Very memorable albeit brief role on a “hit” show back in the day would be American Idol in 2004 (contestants on for the max of 1 season, a show with musical “hits”, she has a big hit herself). After losing all the weight over the last year during the same time the copying started, Jennifer has been trying to reinvent herself to be sexier. (There was even an old blind about her fiance not liking the new her and wanting her to be fat again bc it changed her entire attitude). So what better than to copy B lister Jessica Alba the “sex kitten” (pic of cat above) who is always photographed. She does what Jessica does she thinks she can reinvent herself as such and get more placement pap shots in the mags- which she has done a lot of lately. Hudson is only “engaged” to her man. Jessica is married. And also wont do nude scenes b/c she is a CATholic. This could work!
Google images:
jessica alba jennifer hudson (notice the NEW pics of them together- all the other’s are b/c they are at ALL TEH SAME EVENTS!!!)
Jessica- gold vera wang dress
Jennifer- gold vera wang dress
Jessica- lace up sandals
Jennifer- lace up sandals
Jessica wore a white fringe dress, Jennifer copied the fringe look in pink.
Copies her hairstyles. If Jessica wears orange, or color blocks, Jennifer does.
Bam! If that’s not it then it’s a copycat of a copycat
I wish it was actually revealed. I’ve been looking at so many “who wore it better”
I’m going with Megan Fox as the B-Lister. She has Brian Austin Green as her step child I suppose.. She also is famous for her looks more so than Kate Beckinsale (in my opinion she has talent)
but this is a hard one! IDK
OH,I GET IT! THE CAT STANDS FOR CATWOMAN. IT IS HALLE BERRY!!! I HEARD NOT THAT LONG AGO FROM SOME LOCAL RADIO DJS THAT HALLE BERRY WAS A COMPLETE NUT!!!!
