Ethel Not Lucy

August 25, 2017 Blind Gossip

EXCLUSIVE!

[Blind Gossip] You would think that this very talented actress would be happy to have another steady TV gig.

She is only happy-ish.

She thinks that after being the star of [old TV series] that she deserves to be THE star of a show. Actually, she thinks she should be a movie star, but she has not had any offers there. So now she’s stuck in TV, and this is the second TV series in a row where she is “Ethel not Lucy.” Not exactly the career she expected.

    Lucy Hale
    Life Sentence

    Actress: Megan Mullally (aka Karen . She’s the Ethel to Grace’s Lucy)
    New tv series: The revised “Will and Grace
    Clue: Debra Messing has often been compared to Lucy .

    Optional: Megan Mullally have gotten a lot of roles but she can’t bring people to the theater. She is good in supporting roles, but I don’t think she can carry a movie.

    She is an extremely talented singer, but actress? Not so much. I first thought if she wasn’t being typecasted in the Rachel Berry know-it-all person, now I wonder if that’s the only role she can play.

    Read the guesses…is “Happy-ish” really not a clue? Based on that alone I’m going to guess Kathryn Hahn, simply because she was on the shoe Happyish and makes more sense than Brad Whitford or Ellen Barkin.

    I do think that she is wonderful, though. Again, only guessing her b/c why else use “happy-ish” in the blind?!

      “Again, only guessing her b/c why else use “happy-ish” in the blind?!”

      Because “happiness” is a synonym of “glee”. The blind is about former “Glee” actress Lea Michele.

    If Lea is watching this I would ask her what does Bob Weir and the late Ed McMahon have in common ? As someone said of the Grateful Dead’s Bob Weir , You know if you don’t have a Big Ego you can do very well as the Number 2 guy !’ Same goes for Robin and Tanto !

    [Optional] Why do you think she is not a bigger star? She is not that talented, and look is not on her side either.

      She’s actually been a number of films – although as they have tended to be more quirky, indie type films rather than mainstream blockbusters this would have passed a lot of people by. She’s actually a very good actor – much better than she’s given credit for.

    Lea Michelle

    Mayor – something or other

    Sorry sweetie. Lea has an Ethel-like face in an industry of hotties and honey’s. Lose the difficult diva rep, it’s not conducive to a plain Jane who’s a legend only in her own mind. * Her ex-BF Corey Monteith was the stunner. RIP.

  12. aaasheag says

    Kathryn Hahn

    She was co-star in Happyish and has a small role in Transparent, plus she’s always a side character, never the star. She’s a brilliant actress but her looks are quirky and that rarely gets anyone a starring role – unless they’ve written it themselves and it has that added layer of authenticity. She should get writing if she wants to be a star…

    That red-haired hag from Will & Grace. She’s not pretty, talented or nice enough to be a big-screen star.

    • tellmemore says

      August 27, 2017 at 8:31 am

      Since when did “being nice” become a requirement to be a movie star? And, wow, you have a lot of strong feelings about someone who’s basically been out of sight for a while now.

    Trace Ellis Ross – Blackish

  17. MissELace says

    August 25, 2017 at 7:43 pm

    Actress : Lea Michele
    TV Series : Mayor

    Optional : She’s talented but not very diverse. She is typecasted and stuck in the same roles. Plus the rumors of her diva antics and high demands, she was on 1 successful show. Her albums and movies have not been hits.

  18. PatioPrincess says

    August 25, 2017 at 7:35 pm

    Sounds like that annoying Debra Messing or Lena Dunham.

      Agree bet happy-isa is a nod to Glee.

    Lea Michele and The Mayor? She just doesn’t have that star power I guess…

    • blinkandyoumight says

      August 26, 2017 at 12:22 pm

      it blows my mind she thinks she can be a big star. talk about lack of self-awareness and feeling the scene…

  23. GayleStorm says

    August 25, 2017 at 5:31 pm

    Leah Remini
    ‘Kevin Can Wait’

    Maybe the Scientology got in the way? I think Leah is an excellent actress. ‘King of Queens’ is one of my favorite sitcoms ever. I still watch the reruns on a regular basis.

  24. Tinkerbell says

    August 25, 2017 at 5:22 pm

    Could this be Lea Michele?

  25. with a twist says

    August 25, 2017 at 5:20 pm

    Lea Michele
    The Mayor (previous series where she was an Ethel is Scream Queens)

    She seems very stuck up..probably ruffles quite a few feathers.

    Lucy Hale
    Life Sentence

    Clues: similar blind and the name Lucy

    I don’t find her “very talented”, most of the PLL cast act very stiffly. Anyway I thought she was pursuing music more, not a movie career! She doesn’t strike me as a movie star.

    Lea Michele

    The Mayor

    She stayed on Glee too long and her moment passed. Also not a very versatile actor. She keeps playing Rachel Berry which people have said is pretty much a version of herself

    She has no likeability.

    The one from Will and Grace.

    Jennifer Anniston

    • tellmemore says

      August 27, 2017 at 8:36 am

      Is she in a new show? None of the actors in Friends were *the* star; it was an ensemble cast. So I don’t think this fits her.

    • tellmemore says

      August 27, 2017 at 8:37 am

      Besides, she’s made movies, so she obviously had offers.

  42. cupcakecanuck says

    Lea Michele
    New series: The Mayor. I guess the title character is supposed to be “the” star, although he’s certainly not as famous as her (yet).

    She’s been in these blinds before; I believe the problem was that they said her nose is too big or whatever (which I think is kind of sad, but that’s apparently what they demand). She may also be kind of a diva, IIRC, and that can’t help either.

  46. Vampira says

    August 25, 2017 at 2:19 pm

    Probably Leah Michelle, she’s in some new show and had that kind of ego.
