Blind Item- Actress put her gay son in conversion therapy

Says long, long, long time, so not thinking Candy. Plus the fact that she’d never be considered A-list.

She’s A List within her market. Yes.

Where does it say anything about “in her market”? How are you reading that into it?

R3 it’s a vague statement to begin with. Some of us know how to break down statements etc. some of you need things explained word for word. I get it. You’re slower. But stop challenging those of us who have critical thinking skills.

Cher

Barbra

Sally field?

Helen Lawson.

nothing says, I love my child, like doing this to them. sending prayers his way.

Faye Dunaway seems crazy enough to do something like this, but I know nothing about her son.

Cheryl Ladd

Years ago there were rumors about Faye’s son Liam being gay, but now he’s engaged or married to a woman. Could be her.

Jada Plinkett Smith

Cher

Honey, that bitch is not A-list in any market

That medicine woman whore Roma wazername. Is she A list? She's a bible thumper.

It’s Michelle Pfeiffer

Mia Farrow

Cheryl Ladd is definitely known for being a family values fundie Republican type, going way back, and she has a son. But she’s not A-list.

has to be someone dumb

Roseanne

R4 - nice stretch. I hope you didn’t hurt yourself. There’s nothing to read into it that would suggest A-list in the fundie circles, moron. I think CDAN is aware most people will think mainstream A-list, not CBB. But you do you, darling.

James Caan

R23, ??????? Did he have sex change before death. Smfh, what an idiot you are.

Jane Fonda?

Cher had a gay daughter/trans son, and you're more likely to call her a singer, same with Barbra. Sally Field is very pro gay rights. James Caan is a man. Do we know anything about Jane Fonda's son?

Fonda’s son is Troy Garity. He’s played a couple of gay roles, hasn’t he?

r1 r4 r15 She is, and she was big already in the early 90s, her brother in the 80s; the 90s were a time before social media, many parts even before the internet, mostly without mobile phones, and she is married with kids to a former big time ice hockey star. The formulation might even mean A-; dude, she is A-list commercially and life-wise and other; all these old stars from way back, today's and yesterday's people don't care about them and with today's much stronger questioning of sexual and romantic identities and mental health and transparency also the works of the stars of former times have it much harder, and stars of former who are still alive and still public often don't work well because of aforementioned aspects.

MY SON IS NOT A LITTLE HOMOSEXUAL BOY! I PAID GOOD FUCKIN MONEY FOR THAT CONVERSION THERAPY!

is Sofia Vergara considered A grade?

Cheryl Ladd has a daughter and a step daughter.

I initially misread this as "long long long time ago," when it's just "long long long time."

Pfeiffer's son had major gayface as a child. She was in Out magazine a few years ago promoting her new genderless fragrance, which was named after her kids. She gave the usual shout-out to her gay fans. I will gasp and clutch my pearls and look for ways to blame David E. Kelley if she's a homophobic asshole in private.

Meryl has a son

R28 indeed. There is someone on here (“someone” I should say, as it’s always the same person) who keeps making it seem like Candace’s first gig was The View, as if she hasn’t been working her entire life. She’s a child star. Not some new face in Hollywood. She’s been working for at least 35 years. Full House debuted in 1987.

It’s Cher, that’s why Chastity struggled with her sexuality her whole life. Cher (and the father) did a number on her.

Susan Sarandon has a son and she's a cunt, but she was also good friends with Gore Vidal and Howard Austen, Vidal was her kids godfather

Cher had a gay daughter, not son, and you think she thinks the conversion therapy worked?

Now she has a “son”. Still gay though.

[quote]Cheryl Ladd is definitely known for being a family values fundie Republican type, going way back, and she has a son. But she’s not A-list.

She’s T&A-list

If i were to anonymously describe Cher in the hope she might be recognized, I wouldn't call her a long, long, long term A list actress, although she is, I'd describe her as an iconic long, long, long term pop singer

It says ACTRESS. If it was Cher it would say ACTRESS/SINGER/ICON

CDAN always lists all the things someone is known for

I'm going with Candace for now.

What long time celebrity would care if their son is gay?

I hope if this is real the situation becomes public so the parents can get their cunt bones kicked in.

A lot of Hollywood celebs are closeted conservatives r42. This is known. They push whatever is popular in the moment or what they’re told to push to not be canceled and hurt their wallets.

Very few are openly Republican and still work, like Marky Mark. Most put on a show.

Katy Perry comes to mind and is the perfect example of someone who is actually conservative but puts on a facade to sell.

She recently voted for a Republican. I guess it doesn’t matter anymore because her music doesn’t sell the way it did a decade ago anyway b

St. Angie

Reese? She's A list and has a 19 year old son.

Yeah but Deacon isn’t gay. He also has a ridiculous amount of support around him and is trying to build his rap career.

Hetro or gay you can't convert someone who is hard wired.

Rappers aren’t gay.

It can't be Cher. Unless they are attempting 20 year old blind items.

Chastity went through the “left wing” gay conversion therapy.

R48 no one said that. I’m saying he just isn’t. And he’s very much all over social media. He isn’t in conversion therapy. His father would never allow that.

I said that, for sure.

R7 Sally Field? She's been a supporter of gay rights forever. Tried to fix up her handsome son, Sam, with Olympian Adam Rippon. Didn't work, Sam likes butch guys.

[quote]this long long long time A- list actress

There is no way this is Bure. She's not A- list and she's not a "long long long time actress."

CDAN is made up, mostly, but this one sounds like one of those blinds that's really just repackaged old gossip. I can't think of who it could be if it isn't Faye or maybe Raquel Welch, whose son Damon was married for about one year several decades ago.

There will be no gays at Christmas!

R54 you say this on every thread. No one cares. Some of their shit comes out to be true. Get over it. You don’t have to be on the thread.

Angie would send her kids to conversion therapy to *make* her kids gay (now that Shiloh failed on the trans front), but alas, no takers!

I'd say Nicole Kidman, but her adults kids don't speak to her

Shiloh was never transgender.

She was a child.

THEY TRIED TO BLAME ME! BECAUSE I TOOK HIM TO THE SET OF MOMMY DEAREST AS A LITTLE BOY!

Helen Lawson did not put her gay son into conversion therapy. She appreciated the free styling advice.

Is the three longs in the BI a clue? If not then there really isn't one.

Something with 3 like "My Three Sons" or Three's Company".

What films or shows have a three as a title or theme?

R30 Sofia gets call boys for Manolo, allegedly. This way, fortune hunters and thirst traps can be avoided. So I would not say her.

Her former costar Julie Bowen, OTOH, allegedly disapproves of gay marriage and leans slightly toward the right politically.

Does she have sons?

Conservative Joan Collins.

Just a note about CDAN. If someone like CCBure was listed as A-List he would add something like "in her world."

[quote]What films or shows have a three as a title or theme?

3 Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri = Francis McDormand, but her son would likely need "douche bro" therapy, not gay conversion therapy

No one would describe Candace as A-list. Not now, not then. It's not her. Move on from that idea.

So, how thoughtful are these hints usually anyway? For example, "long, long, long" is the name of a Beatles song which has "long, long, long time" in the lyrics. Are we dealing with that kind of puzzling where that could be a hint? Or just general stuff.

Upon more searching, "long, long, long time" is also the name of a Tears for Fears song off their new Tipping Point album.

Valerie Bertinelli?

[quote]r54 I can't think of who it could be if it isn't Faye or maybe Raquel Welch, whose son Damon was married for about one year several decades ago.

I don’t know if I’ve ever seen anything quite as tasteless, in its own special way,” as Welch wearing a black cocktail dress with cleavage cutouts to her son’s wedding.

Faye would [italic]never…!

Ultimately, I don't think "long, long, long time" is a clue, R69, but I like the way you think.

Linda Ronstadt has a song called "Long Long Time" and has an adopted son... I don't think she's very religious, though and she's not an actress.

[quote]is Sofia Vergara considered A grade?

No

Re: Welch’s Whore-Mother-of-the-Groom attire at r71:

[italic] Father of the Bride Fred Trueman’s then 87-year-old mother Ethel was said to have confronted the actress and said: “You know, young lady, that’s not the kind of outfit to be wearing at a wedding blessing.”

The cricketer’s sister, Flo, later said: “Raquel thought she was joking and said, ‘Now I know where Freddie gets his humour from’. But mum was deadly serious.”

Trueman’s first wife, and Becky’s mother, Enid, was also deeply unimpressed, reportedly saying afterward: “She completely ruined my daughter’s wedding.”

You've got a brilliant career for a garbage person, little Mr. R10.

IT SAYS ACTRESS. YET YOU KEEP GUESSING SINGERS

Some Scientology bitch? Did Kirstie Alley breed?

It has to be Cher. Her “son” Chaz is now a straight man.

R79 that would mean Chaz was a gay WOMAN prior to being a straight man.

I have to say, I'm very impressed by how many gays don't have enough pop culture knowledge to know that CCB is A list to her Christian peers, kids of the 80's, and older Hallmark loving fraus.

It says "A minus long, long time actress", not A. In blind item terminology that means she never quite made it to the big leagues. Barbra, Cher, Faye and Sally as all decidedly A+.

Meryl Streep.

Annette Funicello

Regina King (whose son recently took his own life, that’s a good reason)

Everyone stop dragging me into this! I've got enough on my plate right now!

I'm guessing that long,long,long rules out anybody who wasn't big at least going back to the 1970s, maybe 1960s. I will accept none of these 80s/90s upstarts!

[quote]Some Scientology bitch? Did Kirstie Alley breed?

Which Scientology bitch is A-list?

My Children, My Choice.

R4 Bless your heart. Are you sure you're not missing a rerun of RuPaul?

A list she ain’t. There’s only one A list in Hollywood. If you are just top of a niche market the highest you get is B list. She’s a solid B at best.

There’s only a few “long long long time” A-list actresses still alive. This shouldn’t be that hard.

Long long long time can be even the 90s. People forget the 90s were 30 years ago now.

[quote]Sally Field? She's been a supporter of gay rights forever. Tried to fix up her handsome son, Sam, with Olympian Adam Rippon. Didn't work, Sam likes butch guys.

Yeah, I can think of few actress mothers LESS likely to put their kids through conversion therapy than Sally Field. I have no proof, but I suspect she instead embarrasses the kid by going overboard with the P-FLAG Mom leading the Pride parade enthusiasm.

Really r43 in what universe? Earth 2?

R93 doesn’t have reading comprehension.

“A lot of Hollywood celebs are closeted conservatives [R42]. This is known. They push whatever is popular in the moment or what they’re told to push to not be canceled and hurt their wallets.”

That would fit the bill. Learn to understand what you’re reading.

“Taking their masks off”… because celebs show you what they want you to see. I can say I back Hillary all day and not mean it to keep my career going and add more money in my own pocket. Stop believing what celebs tell you.

Wait, is it A minus list or A hyphen list those distinctions make a big difference?

Do Kathy Lee and Kelli Ripa count as actresses, because I say the one or both of them.

R96 A hyphen

Madonna? She needs David Banda to fuck her so bad but he's a mo.

I was in a large supermarket this afternoon and I saw that bitch - Candy Cameron Bure - on the cover of some religious magazine, so I picked the mag up and turned it backwards so that no other unfortunate soul could see her sick, self righteous, awful face.

R100 She is the Devil's Daughter...........beware........

Why CCB so uppity?

Candace Cameron Bure - behind that sneaky, cunty smiles lies......The Devil, her master!!!

CCB is acting since she was a child. Got her big break with Full House. Long, long time, indeed.

Everything I read about her makes her look like a self-righteous, homophobic Christina cunt. She would totally send her child to conversion therapy for pure selfish reasons like protecting her Christian traditional values image.

R103 Yes, she IS mine. And sometimes she is too dark and hideous even for me.

LOL. Sorry, Christian cunt (not Christina).r

In no fucking place on earth is Candace Bure considered A list.

It’s probably some gay “icon”.

Hallmark A-list.

There are all sorts of A-lists. Reality TV A-list (Kardashians are on top of that list), the most know Hollywood A-list, social media A-list, (gay) porn A-list, each big city having its own high society A-list not to mention the Gay A-list, etc.

Keep tryin^.

Being A-List in the porn industry isn’t the same as A-List in Hollywood.

[quote]Hallmark A-list.

That’s an oxymoron. Actors go to Hallmark because they are D-list.

He’s a porn-addled gay man.

These Christians like CCB always have these soulless grins on their face. Look into their eyes - there's never any love emanating from them. The hatred and anger can be seen.

[quote] Being A-List in the porn industry isn’t the same as A-List in Hollywood.

Well, good for you to notice that, Captain Obvious.

I wish they would have made the Flowers in the Attic movies earlier on and cast Kirk and Candace in the leads, their names would have been mud in the Christian community then.

R114 Indeed. Soulless AND Empty.

It could be Angela Bassett's son.

I'm thinking Annette Bening, who is Hollywood royalty but I think she's supportive of her transgender son.

[quote]It could be Angela Bassett's son.

No, the person must be white. Thank you.

[quote]r99 Madonna? She needs David Banda to fuck her so bad but he's a mo.

She’s no actress.

She’s a movie-killer.

I never even heard of cbb until this thread.

A list is not an arbitrary designation

Angela Lansbury. She never did like her son, did she ?

It's Lindsay Wagner. The "long, long, long time" quote is from some Bionic Woman special.

She could conceivably be considered A-list, if you add up her career. She has a massive credit list, she seems to do a few hit primetime network shows a years, a small part or two in a major movie, and gets top billing on her Hallmark crap.... She's is all the same Hallmark movies Candace Cameron is. Her quote on IMDB are all preachy shit about God.

She has two sons that are both in their late thirties, I think this might be the younger one. He's a stuntman.

Sorry about the typos. I'm Nancy Drew, not Strunk and White.

You’re more like Sylvia Brown^.

[quote]She's is all the same Hallmark movies Candace Cameron is.

One of her last holiday credits was a lesbian romance, "Christmas at the Ranch." She played the grandma of one of the lesbians.

R127 I can't believe she didn't spit in their faces, it can't be her then.

I didn’t know that Aaron Rodgers’ mother is an A-list actress.

Perry isn’t right wing or conservative she did campaign events with Hillary and Joe Biden. Lots of center left people voted for Caruso this time.

Babs

Maybe she's hard up enough for cash that she takes whatever she's offered, R128. She sells autographs at conventions, so anything's possible. I'm not sure a Bure-level homophobe would work for peanuts for an indie lesbian production, but Wagner certainly doesn't court her sizable gay fanbase the way her peers do.

Sally Field? Really? Seems like she wants her youngest son, who is gay, to find a nice enough gentleman to settle down with if anything. She probably wants more grandchildren as well. I've never heard of Sally Field being even remotely homophobic and one of my younger brothers has been a fan of hers for ages to the point of it annoying me as a teenager. Leave Sally be please.

Jane Fonda could give a crap. She's on our side. I'm including proof.

Angela Bassett played a Vodoo High Priestess on AHS COVEN and so even though she's a Christian and her husband is all well I think they would leave their young son be if he was gay. My spell check doesn't like Vudoo?! What is this?! At any rate they can't possibly be hard core Christians.

Warren and Annette have obviously come to terms with their transgender child by now. He was outed years ago by Perez Hilton and that is a sick and wrong thing to do to a minor. But, years later they both have spoken publicly of their son nicely.

I'm at a loss.

I'm sure there was an interview somewhere with Madonna once where she said that Warren told her he regretted not sleeping with men when he was younger in the 70s, just to see what it was like. By the time he admitted this though it was at the height of the AIDS crisis, so he never felt he could. Am I imagining this?

Sarah Jessica Parker

R80, "Chaz" was a lesbian before turning trans. Maybe CDAN is trying to be correct by calling "him" a son.

I think that could be a possibility, R136.

I don’t think Angelina would, but maybe.

Angie - Joe and one of her child army

The only son still at home is Knox.

Blind Items are always about people the public has forgotten about. It isn't going to be someone who is in the news a lot.

Does anyone not think its suspicious that every blind item on that site is connected to something that DL is talking about?

Not really. Who feeds them blinds to begin with?

[quote]r124 Lindsay Wagner could conceivably be considered A-list, if you add up her career. She has a massive credit list, she seems to do a few hit primetime network shows a years, a small part or two in a major movie, and gets top billing on her Hallmark crap.

This isn’t A-List:

"It could be Angela Bassett's son."

Hahaha, no it's not her. Angela is pretty gay-friendly and she had a lesbian sex scene with Lady Gaga in American Horror Story. Plus she had her twins via a surrogate which isn't the Christian traditional way of procreating. But I digress......

Sarah Jessica Parker

No way. She has tons of gay friends (Cynthia Nixon for once) in the industry plus her husband Matthew Broderick has played gay roles in his career. They would seem to have no issues with having a gay child.

SJP is married to a gay man, so probably not her!

SJP’s frustrations about being married to a homo are being taken out on her son.

“long long long” is referring to SJP’s face.

Lucille Ball. Desi Jr talked her into doing Mame. All those dates with women, Patty Duke Liza Minnelli, were just to try and throw people off the trail.

^ I agree. The "long, long, long" was a clue.

Rue McClanahan. Isn't her son a flamer ?

Is there anyone in Hollywood who *doesn't* have gay or transgender kids?

Naomi Watts?

I remember reading an interview with SJP a long time time ago where she said she couldn't wait until her son took his first gf or bf home to introduce to his parents.

Does Brendad Ickson have any kids? She certainly fits de A list part.

Maybe the kid is converting to Judaism.

[quote]I'd say Nicole Kidman, but her adults kids don't speak to her

Connor Cruise is a Scientologist, if he's gay, the cult already took care of it.

R151 isn’t she…not alive?

Kathleen Beller. Doesn't she have a transkid ?

Well there’s a name no one’s uttered in 30 years.

There's an article in the Daily Mail today about Kate Gosselin having put her son Connor into "an institution for children with behavioral issues" and how he's no longer speaking to her because of it.

^I feel sorry for those poor kids. They never had a chance with those two as their parents. I hope they have some kind of trust fund from the reality TV show $$

I think of Cher as a singer rather than actress, otherwise I'd say her. Despite being a Republican cunt, Sonny Bono apparently took Chaz/Chastity's coming out WAY better than Cher, which is bizarre, though I know people who are totally fine with having gay friends but wouldn't want their kids to be gay at all.

[quote]I think of Cher as a singer rather than actress,

Everyone keeps saying this. She does have a Best Actress Oscar.

Yeah, she does, that heifer…

[quote]Sonny Bono apparently took Chaz/Chastity's coming out WAY better than Cher, which is bizarre, though I know people who are totally fine with having gay friends but wouldn't want their kids to be gay at all.

A really common experience among most gay men I've met and spoken too about this is that it was the mother who took their coming out worse, often in cases where the mother had gay male friends but freaked out about having a gay son. Dads often seem to take it better. Both my parents were fine, but I would also say my dad was particularly good about it.

R166, the thing about it is I think there might be some innate biological component of resentment a mother has towards her gay son, especially if it is her only son.

Dads, on the other hand have no competition in resources and mates in a gay son.

This is all thereotetical because there are plenty of cases of a loving mama bear, and hateful homophobic dad who disowwns the son, even sometimes removing him from the will.

Yeah, it's a really interesting issue, R167. I can't say what the answer is either, but it is interesting how many gay guys I know have had fairly decent fathers but hateful mothers. It goes against the stereotype we've always been led to believe. But at the same time as you say, it often goes the other way too, so...
