BLIND ITEMS —
I guess this comic actor is A list. Primarily movies now. When I say he is A list, he is by definition in the sense he is top billed in movies, but I never think of him as more than a B or C. He has always come across as a guy’s guy, but when he was in Europe a few weeks ago doing publicity for an old project, he made everyone call him by his female name and stayed at his hotel for four nights as a woman.

Wow, thats incredibly vague, unresponsible reporting. And if she prefers a female name, isnt a female pronoun ALSO in order?
Read your AP Stylebook, queers.

Robin Williams.

If he made EVERYONE call him by his female name, how does this meet the usual (which is to say, not at Queerty) standards of a “blind” item?
And if an A- or B-list actor stayed at a hotel for several days in drag (the only inference I can draw from “as a woman”), you’re telling me there would not be at least one blurry cameraphone pic from a room service waiter or valet?!?
Blech. Just give us a name or go stifle yourself, Edith.

Damn, Fredo777, that is a very plausible guess.
RW’s been sporting a beard in the recent past, but why should that stop anyone?
The only small hitch, imho, is the notion that anyone but a spiteful queen could label him as borderline C-list.
He’s had a few stinker movies, but rare is that established comdian/enne who hasn’t over a multi-decade career.

@zenflo: i was just being funny b/c the name Robin could also be a girl’s name.
Wyatt
I’m gonna go ahead and say Steve Martin?

Vince Vaughn.
Preposterous? So is the story.
uhm
@zenflo: yeah but what kind of person writes blind items.
Paul
if ya can’t name names then it’s stupid

Fake names at check-in have been the norm for years. So why not use a female name? Who doesn’t want to be Hortense B. Tugbustle just once?

Dustin Hoffman made everyone call him Tootsie? That is a scoop.

This SCREAMS Tyler Perry and only one person so far can get it right.
