New Year, New Reveal Day, New Blinds.

[Cher]

Happy New Year!

Reveal Day will start here at 12PM EST. And we will keep the same thread for Jan Blinds.

I’m on a beach with the absolute worst service. But I got you. I just don’t got gifs.

So while we kill time, tell me what you’re most proud of from 2023 and tell me what you’re going to do/change/accomplish in 2024.

Back to my breakfast Aperol Spritz! Xoxo.

[Jesslfar]

Let’s do this.

2023 was a blur. We bought a house, only moved a handful of blocks but bought MH’s dream style house and almost doubled our square footage. I’m pretty proud of that. As far as 2024. I’m really working on setting limits. I got a lot better with it last year. I’m a bit too much of a people pleaser and really struggled with wanting not being able to say “no” to all of the committees.

[Cher]

I think I’m proud of the family and life I created. I’m in a really happy place and I have learned to protect my peace and not share much. I’m good in my bubble. For 2024, lots more travel, a major Reno/addition and as much as I want to freeze time, I’m excited for the kids getting older and all the new things that means for us.

A little over a decade ago, this A list actress was winning all the awards for a movie she was in. She was also really making this A list actress/sometime director angry, because our actress/director thought she gave the better performance that year. No matter what though, this A list actress kept winning. So, a few days prior to the foreign journalists giving out their awards, they had a leak on their website. They mistakenly published the winners of the awards before they were handed out. The A list actress was once again named the winner. Well, our actress/director hadn't slept with and wined and dined with those journalists over the years to have that happen. So, she demanded they do a "recount." Remember, this is all before the show even aired. The night of the show, neither the A list actress or the actress/director won. Instead, the journalists decided they needed to give it to someone other than those two so they would appear to be fair. They gave it to this foreign born A list actress who then took that momentum and won Oscar too.

Literally everything that I haven’t renovated yet. And then adding everything that my house is missing. It’s major. Excited but very very scared. We’ve done a lot of construction and this is by far the biggest thing we ever did.

I left this in the words of the tipster. Just added the stuff to make it blind.

Back when this A list mostly movie actress who is an Oscar winner/nominee was doing this A+ list franchise, I was in high school. I am 3 years younger than her. It was the days of ICQ and MSN. Anyway, I saw her in one of the franchise films and that made me a huge fan. I managed to track down her real name and email address from a fan website and emailed her. Being a 15 year old, I didn't realize how creepy that was (I am a woman, so coming off as creepy does not naturally enter my mind when I do things LOL). At the time, her 18th birthday had just passed and there were photos of her birthday party where she was wearing a NesQuick t-shirt. In my email I said that I enjoyed the movie and was a huge fan, and that I saw some photos of her wearing a NesQuick t-shirt and I asked her where she got it from.

She actually responded, saying she wasn't the actress and that fans have been emailing her thinking she's the actress, and she's sorry to disappoint. I responded back, explaining why I'm sure the email address I had was correct. Lo and behold, she responds back, admitting that she was indeed the actress but that her "bonehead fans need to get a life and stop bothering [her] (no offence)." That was the end of it, and I didn't respond. I think my 15 year old self was pretty shocked.

Anyway, a few months later, she was featured on Mademoiselle magazine (at least I think it was that article, it could have been a different magazine) and in the article she said this:

“I had gone to my best friend’s house an hour before the party to choose outfits,” she recalls. “We went into her eight-year-old brother’s room and found that Nesquik T-shirt in a drawer. Then, all the magazines had my photo, with articles about how the cool new thing was to wear logo T-shirts. He was appalled. ‘Yuck, girls’ magazines have my T-shirt in!’ he cried.”

Good for you. I second guess the heck out of all of my choices. So far my game plan is moving into homes someone else has renovated right before selling and then criticizing their choices. I’m actually happy I live in a historic district because it limits what I can do.

That never works for me. Even if it’s renovated, I still want to redo everything. I need everything a certain way. Honestly, if mortgage rates weren’t what they are, we would just build bc I’m essentially just building a very expensive new house in place of my current home.

That’s so funny I’m so the opposite. My house is also so boring. We live in an area where all of the houses mostly came out of catalogs 100 years ago and we all decorate them much the same. They’ve all been remodeled mostly be the same people too. Same stove, same fridge, very similar bathrooms.

The young Grammy winning/nominated singer-songwriter just made a comeback and has a big day in court this week. It isn't the usual deliberating of writing credits. She's pursuing a multi-count criminal complaint against a longtime stalker. Among many other things, the creep followed her around the world during her headlining concert tour last year, showing up at and in some cases even sleeping outside her hotels. Countless videos online show the screwball getting way too close for comfort, staring her down, lunging at her for autographs, being shoved away by her security after blocking the door of a car she's trying to enter. It's unclear what his motive is, and that might be the scariest part. It's reached a point where many of her fans know who he is by name and have expressed growing concern for her well being in public. There was even an incident outside a coffee shop at the end of last summer when his actions resulted in a member of the starlet's security team sending him away in an ambulance. Well, it's escalated quite a bit beyond that since the beginning of the year and it appears that it's finally time to put an end to it.

Is he a big star? No, he isn't. That doesn't mean he doesn't think he is a big star and will be charging accordingly at a fan convention for his pictures and autographs. Even though actors from the long running almost network show on which he starred are bigger and more famous, our actor is charging (way) more than ANYBODY for autographs and photo ops. And his meet and greet is literally as much as quadruple the cost of others from the show or those more famous. Does he really think he’s worth all of that just because he’s married to an actual star?? Considering he’s worked a grand total of maybe two months out of the last six years and his last gig was a huge flop in part due to his ego and not showing up for work, it is nuts what he’s charging. He’s literally taking huge advantage of fans. Talk about entitlement.

What is also interesting is at this convention, at least two of his exes from the show that he slept with will be in attendance. He has a history of cheating, including with fans, so it’s going to be interesting to see who he will cheat on his wife with first. Will it be a fan or an ex. Also, will anyone actually pay his inflated prices?

The chef's kiss to all this is the very important life event he will be skipping just to cheat on his wife and gouge his fans. There is nothing that will stop this guy from his hundreds of teenage fans desperate to meet him and give him money and perhaps later sleep with him. By the way, the convention is even offering loans and payment plans through a third-party vendor so fans can afford all of this. And if he cancels or the convention is canceled apparently there’s no refunds, so he really picked the most shady possible convention to be a part of for the first time in years. Why is he this hard up for money? Is his wife finally leaving him, or did she actually tell him he needs to finally contribute to the family a little? Can this guy ever do anything that’s not embarrassing?

That all looks super fake.

[Cher]

I need to know what came before this. There was an incident a few years back in NYC where bikers ripped a guy out of his car in front of his wife and kid. I was living in the city at the time and it scared TF out of me. So, it’s not like it’s an impossible scenario, to me.

July 27, 2023

Want to keep working on this show? Do whatever the executive in charge says and turn a blind eye to what he does. Want to work on a different show, but the same field? Don't ever say anything bad about the executive. This former actress turned reality star got a stark reminder of that when she posted something negative to social media and took it down very quickly. Everyone covers for the executive. Does he have a casting couch? Yes. Does he sexually harass subordinates? Every single day. Does he care? No he does not. Despite what has been recently said about him, he knows his job is not in danger. He produces results and deals with talent and crew and gets it all done way under budget. He is a huge profit earner for the big company and everyone knows if this show goes down, the whole industry goes down. Thousands of people would be out of work. Thousands of high paying jobs gone in a flash. There was already one downturn. They don't want extinction. There are ancillary companies that only survive because of this industry. So, whatever pushback might be normal, is not so in this case. There is no independent third party to put pressure on the executive. There are no harsh words. The survival of so many rely on them being complicit in everything bad that occurs. Things are so complicit that reporting from specific publications choose to not even mention anything about bad things that go on, let alone things that are being reported in the past week. If they did, they would be writing their own pink slips, plus they would never be allowed to interview anyone from the show he controls. It is a fiefdom made for abuse and everyone watches it happen, but are only looking out for themselves.

I don’t generally subscribe to new year stuff because I’m a buzz kill like that.

BUT my initial ketamine infusion phase is over and I already feel like a different human, closer to who I was in high school and early college. It’s incredible. So I am feeling very hopeful for this year and all I may feel and accomplish when I don’t wake up wishing I didn’t wake up every day.

She doesn't ever discuss it any longer. Back in the day when she was first starting out as an actress, she would talk about the incest she suffered for nearly a decade. She thought it was therapeutic to do it and then as times changed, she slowly stopped discussing it. She is foreign born and maybe peaked at B+ list here, but overseas she is much higher on the list. The last time anyone remembers her talking about it was when she was hooking up with this A- list actor who is much younger. They hooked up for about six months several years ago and he would pretend she was his mom or sometimes his sister. He doesn't actually have a sister, but he would pretend she was.

I'm in the middle of my first year in my dream job (high school drawing/ceramics teacher) and I am just leaning in to learning what works and doesn't in my new classroom and being the best teacher I can be.

2023 was extremely rough for my family with my H having a pair of major surgeries that crippled us financially and I just want to recover from that while enjoying all the health and good things that I have in 2024.

This foreign born A list model is investing nearly $1M into a haunted house she bought. A real haunted house that has a history of multiple murders. The model has always wanted a haunted house and wants people to not just walk through the house, but also to spend the night in the house. She is adding in all kinds of special effects and secret doors and hidden chambers that she wants to be the ultimate haunted house experience. She is looking to charge upwards of five figures per night per person and the only rule is you are not allowed to sleep. She has cameras being installed which will keep guests from falling asleep. This is going to be one scary place.

I don't think I have ever written about this director before. He was definitely A+ list in his genre of movies. He specialized in exploitation movies. He used to tell people if the money was right, he would do a snuff film. His movies, were basically one step removed from it. He was a money launderer for the mob and would wash their money in his movies. He also looked for financing from wherever he could get it. His favorite place to get it were mafia run bordellos or through the women they were running. Our director/producer would hear about guys who had really freaky fetishes and were also wealthy. They would be high class escorts the men were using. Our producer would approach them and say they should invest in movies. They would get a tax write off and they could live out their fetishes with an actress who would star in one of the movies. Our producer would write the fetish into the movie and let the guy read the script and then be present for the casting of the actress for the role and then let him pick. He would then sleep with the actress after he ponied up the cost of making the film. This went on for a solid decade until our producer started shooting straight porn and was blacklisted from making any movies that would be distributed in regular theatres.

If you ask him, he will tell you he was drunk and he may very well have been drunk when it happened. He also might very well might not have been drunk and he wasn't drunk the next day when it happened again. I was reminded of this story because he is in the news almost every day. For years, the only thing we heard from him is whether he was going to sign on for another season of the show on which he stars. Back in the day though, our actor was hit on hard at a party. That is not unusual, because it happens a lot to him. married or not, he gets hit on and married or not, he can be very receptive when given the opportunity. At this party, this pseudo royal who likes her toes sucked was hitting on him hard. This was nearly thirty years ago. Our actor and the pseudo royal were friends and she definitely got hammered drunk and they hooked up that night and the next day too. The following night though he hooked up with the now dead princess who he had been introduced to by the pseudo royal.

The Kevin Costner one amuses me. Aside from cheating, I enjoy it.
