Fair Weather Friends

[Blind Gossip] Some Hollywood friendships last only as long as the other person reflects well on you and your career.

If your friend goes down in some sort of scandal – drugs, crime, abuse, racism, whatever – it’s every man for themselves.

Here are several pairs that have experienced some rocky moments in the past year!

A. Singer 1 and Singer 2 are both young and female.

They were besties… until Singer 2’s drug use made their friendship untenable. At the advice of her publicist, Singer 1 kept her distance.

She had to keep her own reputation wholesome.

Now that Singer 2 is sober again, Singer 2 is crowing about how she and Singer 1 are BFFs once again.

B. Female Host and Actress 1 have been frequently photographed together over the years.

They were very close friends… until Host wound up in hot water over her treatment of staff. Of course, Actress 1 thinks that Host is a nice person. That’s because Actress is super famous. Host is usually nasty only to those she deems beneath her.

Why isn’t Actress 1 jumping to Host’s defense right now?

She has a wholesome image and doesn’t want to be perceived as coming to the defense of someone perceived as a bully. She and her publicist are trying to come up with a statement that is supportive but vague and doesn’t backfire on her.

C. The Same Female Host and Actress 2 were also very close friends. Actress 2 has appeared on Host’s show many times.

Why isn’t Actress 2 jumping to Host’s defense? 

Well, she has a slightly different reason from Actress 1!

She really, really wants [Host’s] job! She is working behind the scenes very quietly to see if she can make that happen, so there is no incentive right now for her to bail [Host] out.

With friends like these…

    Just a comment about #1… I’m more sympathetic to someone cutting an addict out of their life, because when you’re that wealthy, there’s no threat of ending up destitute and homeless if you don’t get sober – the only thing money can’t buy is (true) friendship and family. Maybe I’m not cynical enough about these girls’ “friendship”, but if it helps her stay sober, I’m all for it.

  2. jjonesy says

    After reading the “Three Moves” blind, I am more convinced that actress 2 is Markle.

  3. VicHen says

    1) Taylor Swift & Selena Gomez
    2) Ellen DeGeneres & Jennifer Anniston
    3) Ellen DeGeneres & Meghan Markle

  4. Christina X says

    1) Taylor and Selena. 2) Ellen and Aniston. No clue about #3.

    I love how the people that have come out to support Ellen say that they “Stand BY Ellen” not “Stand WITH Ellen.” Her “supporters” probably know what she is like to people that she considers to be beneath her and they don’t want to damage their own brands. I think Portia was the first to use the phrase and, if anyone knows what Ellen is truly like, it’s Portia. Portia could write a juicy book if they divorce.

  5. Irish gal says

    A. Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez
    B. Ellen and Jennifer Aniston
    C. Ellen and Jada Pinkett Smith

  7. rc_mags says

    Don’t know about the singers. But Host is obviously Ellen. I would think Actress 1 is Jennifer Aniston. Actress 2, ??. I think Host is toast.

  8. painkiller says

    A: Tylor Swift and Selena Gomez
    Clue: Reputation, name of Tylor’s last album.
    Host: Ellen
    Idk actresses

    A. Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez
    B. Ellen and Jennifer Aniston
    C. Ellen and Melissa McCarthy

  10. jjonesy says

    A. Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez?
    B. and C. Ellen and….. Jennifer Aniston? The Markle?

  11. Londonmum says

    I’ve struggled with this one. Female host is obviously Ellen Degeneres and Actress 1 is her friend Jennifer Aniston. However, there are so many people with claws out who want the hosting role, it could be any of them. I think Ellen should own her behaviour and apologise and try to make amends. This will never happen though and she will paint herself as the victim. She should team up with Markle find a way monetise their pity party for privileged narcissists who see themselves as victims

  12. Fiza Ali says

    Singer 1 and 2 are Selena Gomez and Taylor swift
    Taylor distanced herself from selena after she did that drunk performance at VMAs

  13. aaamissp says

    A: Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez
    B: Ellen Degeneres and Jennifer Aniston
    C: Ellen Degeneres and Kristen Bell

  14. VeronicaMarsBars says

    A. Singer 1 = Selena Gomez & Singer 2 = Demi Lovato
    B. Female Host = Ellen DeGeneres & Actress 1 = Jennifer Aniston
    C. Female Host = Ellen DeGeneres & Actress 2 = not sure — I hope it is not Kristen Bell

  16. CoCoJoe says

    A: Taylor & Selena. Addiction may be a disease, but no one is obligated to get sucked into that ugly world. Taylor had every right to disconnect and I doubt that was solely due to her publicist’s advice. B: Ellen & Jennifer Anniston C: Ellen & NOT JA; she doesn’t want a job hosting…no way…Kristen Bell? Ellen? She is so funny; I hate to lose her, but she needs to come down to earth. How? No idea!

  17. TruePatriot says

    the singers sound like Swift & Gomez

    the host is definitely Ellen – but no idea on the actresses.

  18. aaaStorm says

    Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato

    Ellen Degeneres and Jennifer Aniston

    Ellen Degeneres and Sofia Vergara?

    I hope her show is cancelled/she leaves.

  19. coffeecake09 says

    A. Taylor and Selena- Selena’s a hot mess.
    B. Ellen and Jen Anniston
    C. Ellen and Kristin Bell?

    I don’t think Ellen should come back, public doesn’t trust her and they will continue trashing her and her ego wouldn’t be able to handle it. Still can’t believe Portia tried to Put it on bot attacks -_-

  20. kellyp says

    Singer 1: Taylor Swift
    Singer 2: Selena Gomez

    Female Host: Ellen Degeneres
    Actress 1: Jennifer Aniston
    Actress 2:Kristin Bell

    I think a way will be found to gracefully stop doing the show.

  21. letinstar says

    A: Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato
    B: Ellen and Jennifer Anniston
    C: Ellen and Ellie Kemper

  22. purplefluffybunny says

    B/C 0 one of these might be Jennifer Aniston and Ellen

    A. Singer 1 and Singer 2: TSwift & Selena Gomez

    B. Female Host and Actress 1: Ellen-Jennifer Aniston

    C. Female Host and Actress 2: Ellen – Reese maybe?
    Clues are reputation for Taylor, friends for JenAn and maybe bail for Reese for Legally Blonde?

  25. Shameless says

    Singers: Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift
    Host & friends: Ellen Degeneres, Jennifer Aniston, and Kristen bell

  26. Haydes says

    singer 1 Selena
    singer 2 Demi Lovato
    Host Ellen
    Actress 1 Jennifer Anniston
    Actress 2 Melissa McCarthy

  27. LA Hack says

    A. Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato
    B. Ellen and Reese Witherspoon
    C. Ellen and Jennifer Aniston

    Optional: In her cloying aw shucks way, Ellen will fall over herself apologizing to everyone and their sisters, begging forgiveness and promising everything will change … and then nothing will change and everything will go back to the way it was, but worse: “Don’t you DARE ever look at me!”

  28. CatInTheHat says

    A: Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift
    B: Ellen Degeneres and Jennifer Aniston
    C: Ellen Degeneres and Kristen Bell

    Optional: Nothing really. She will do an apology tour, so to speak.

  30. justme84 says

    The singers are Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato (had a very public drug history)
    The female host that is being discussed is definitely Ellen but I am not sure of the actress. Maybe Jen Aniston.
    I am going to guess Kristen Bell for the one trying to get the show just because I think she would be a super entertaining host.

  31. boyjack4 says

    Taylor Swidt and Selena Gomez
    Ellen de Generas and Jennifer Aniston
    Ellen de Generas and Chelsea Handler

  32. Maggie71 says

    Singers 1 and 2 – Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez
    Female host and Actress 1: Ellen and ???
    Female host and Actress 2: Ellen and Jennifer Aniston
    I believe that the Ellen Show did not treat staff very well, and I hope that Jennifer Aniston takes over, she would be great!

  33. shellbelrowe says

    A. Singer 1 and Singer 2: Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez

    B. Female Host and Actress 1: Ellen and Jennifer Aniston

    C. Female Host and Actress 2: Ellen and Kristen Bell

    Jennifer is smart to distance herself, so many celebrities nowadays are showing their * defending the elite and someone who they don’t even work for. Kristen Bell doesn’t seem like the type of me to scheme, but hey *shrugs* who knows

  34. afoxnamedmulder says

    Singer 1 – Taylor Swift
    Singer 2 – Selena Gomez
    Host – Ellen DeGeneres
    Actresses 1&2 – ???

  35. msjenn says

    Singer 1 and Singer 2- Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato?
    Host & Actress 1- Ellen and Reese Witherspoon
    Host & Actress 2- Ellen and Tiffany Haddish?

  37. elphie says

    so…
    Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez for the singers
    Host is Ellen and her “BFF” Jennifer Aniston… I wondered why she hasn’t said anything

    Last 1 is Ellen again as the host but not sure who the other actress friend is that would be trying to get her job

  38. Lby54229 says

    My first guesses:
    A. Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato
    B. Ellen and Jennifer Aniston
    C. Ellen and Gwyneth Paltrow

  43. pewter says

    A. No idea. Maybe Lovato and Gomez?

    B. Ellen and J Anniston. J doesn’t receive abuse because she’s A list.

    C. Ellen and Melissa McCarthy? Not sure.

    Either way, Ellen should go away. There are too many stories about her bullying. I tried to watch Ellen but my then toddler left the room each time she came on. I asked her why she left, and she said “the lady had mean eyes.” I never watched her after that. If my toddler was leery that was enough for me.

  44. willworkforgossip says

    A. Singer 1 and Singer 2: Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez

    B. Female Host and Actress 1: Ellen and Jennifer Aniston

    C. Female Host and Actress 2:Ellen and Kristen Bell

  45. amagod121 says

    Singer 1 and 2: Demi Lovato and Miley Cyress

    Female Host and Actress 1: Ellen Degeneris and Jennifer Anistin

    Actress 2: Chelsea Handler?

    Host will lose her gig as the allegations get worse and worse and keep flowing thicker and faster.

  48. JipJip says

    Singers- Demi & Selena
    Host-Actress 1- Ellen DeG & Jen Aniston
    Host- Actress 2- Ellen DeG & Chelsea Handler

  49. funster says

    A – Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez
    B – Ellen and Jen A
    C- Ellen and Kristin Bell

    I doubt Ellen can survive this. Her special
    “Unrelatable” showed that she actually is unrelatable. Too bad she let her success go to her head – she used to be kinda cool. Or was she…

  51. yankgirl13 says

    Singer 1 – Taylor Swift
    Singer 2 – Selena Gomez

    Host – Ellen
    Actress 1 – Kristen Bell
    Actress 2 – Jen Aniston? Reese Witherspoon?

  52. VegetableLasagna says

    A. Taylor Swift and Katy Perry
    B. Ellen and Jennifer Aniston
    C. Ellen and Reese Witherspoon OR Kristen Bell

    I think Ellen should quit playing the victim, and quit tv. She’s made more than enough money to retire on.

  53. michelex23 says

    Singer 1: Selena Gomez
    Singer 2: Demo Lovato
    Host: Ellen DeGeneres
    Actress 1: Jennifer Aniston
    Actress 2: Kristen Bell

  55. SweetMel says

    [Optional] What do you think should happen/will happen to Host?
    I felt Ellen’s heart fell out of the show yrs ago. Segments got cringey & humor got dehumanizing. Time to retire!
    Sadly, She’ll demonize victims’ as ‘Hate” on her & finish contract = %100 Ellen EGO Show:/
    The work environment is EVERYTHING in past few years! ED “not knowing”excuse is WORSE thing she could’ve said. And a LIE. Believe all women & MeToo taking a major hit w Ellen, specifically. Her TimesUp.

  56. Tarheel says

    Not sure on singer – Demi Levato?

    Ellen is the host. Jen Aniston for 1st actress.

    Hmmm – is Katy Perry considered an actress? I think Jerry O’Connell wants her job, too.

  57. SweetMel says

    Singer 1 & 2: Taylor Swift &Selena Gomez
    SG spoke yesterday about collaborating w TS after years of being friends. Read like a ‘name drop’ in interview. SG recovering from health issues.

    Host: Ellen D
    Actress 1: Jennifer Aniston
    Wholesome image, JA, stays WAY OUT of commenting on hollyweird controversy. Her publicist will create benign statement of ‘neutral balogna’. Ellen needs ‘A list’ support imo & a friend.

    Actress 2: Thirsty Kristen Bell wants Ellen’s job!? DRAMA😆

  59. parkland45 says

    Female host & #2 actress: DeGeneris and Jennifer Anniston. Female host & #1 are DeGeneris and guessing Julia Roberts.

  60. kenzy459 says

    A. Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez
    B. Ellen DeGeneres and Jennifer Aniston
    C. Ellen DeGeneres and Kristen Bell

    I think Ellen has (unfortunately) played this well enough to dodge cancellation

  61. caela94 says

    A. Singer 1 and Singer 2: Demi Lovato- Selena Gomez

    B. Female Host and Actress 1:
    Ellen D. –Goop
    Why isn’t Actress 2 jumping to Host’s defense? Her brand is holistic not toxic

    C. Female Host and Actress 2:
    Ellen D.– Katy Perry

  62. Sleepyandconfused says

    1. Demi and Selena
    2. Horrible Ellen and Aniston
    3. Ellen and Pam Anderson?

  63. Pinkieswear says

    A – Swifty and Selena Gomez/Demi Lovato (sorry, they’re interchangeable to me)

    B – Ellen and Jennifer Aniston

    C – Ellen and…? Kelly Ripa? Jenifer Lopez? Betty White? I have no clue. (I don’t watch talk shows, but I would make an exception for Betty White!)

  64. lila8245 says

    A. Singer 1 and Singer 2: Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato.

    B. Female Host and Actress 1: Ellen, Jennifer Aniston

    C. Female Host and Actress 2: Ellen, Kristen Bell.

  67. nycgirl2014 says

    Also where are the former staff members showing support? Even her former DJ said it was a toxic environment. If you are aware of this behavior then you are complicit. end of story. I do not feel bad for her one bit. She needs help and will probably lean on her molestation as an excuse for her behavior. I am on the fringe side of the business working in NYC and even I knew about her behavior for years!!

  68. nycgirl2014 says

    This is easy…
    B. Female Host and Actress 1: Jen Aniston and Ellen-Ellen is the typical narcissist who only cares about people who are also famous and can help her career. Do they really go to dinner and hang btw? Please…they are typical hollywood friends.
    C. Female Host and Actress 2: Ellen and Kristen Bell-Kristen would be a great replacement. I also find it really strange that only a few like people have shown support. Of course she is nice to those people.

  69. Catseyezzz says

    A. Demi Lavato and Selena Gomez
    B. Ellen and Jennifer Aniston
    C. Ellen and Sara Paulson?

  70. noitall says

    Ellen is obviously the host. The pic reminds me of the group selfie she took at the Oscars a few years back. I don’t watch her show or follow her life, so I have no idea who either of the actresses are…

  71. viola45 says

    Singer 1 and 2: Selena Gomez and Taylor Swift
    Female host and actress 1: Ellen and Jennifer Aniston
    Female host and actress 2: Ellen and Reese Witherspoon

  72. chica1984 says

    A: Selena and Demi
    B. Ellen and Jennifer Aniston
    C. Ellen and Kristen Bell

    I think some of it is true, some is bandwagon jumping from people who are wanting publicity.
    Ellen will finish her contract and retire.
