Past Love Affair Of A Newly Single Actress Resurfaces

Jodie Foster!

Jodie Foster!

Sorry -- Jodie never liked the fellas. Try again.

But wouldn't Jodie Foster have moved out to Hollywood well before 1996?

OH WAIT -- "Edina liked the fellas". Oh ok, I get it. Sorry, my mistake. WEll then it could be Jodie.

Jodie Foster was in Hollywood LONG before 1996 - and she's not a singer - wake up!

It says Edina is a singer...not Jodie. Get it straight people! No pun intended. BTW, Jodie went away to school...she's learned ya know.

Its obvious that Edina is an anagram for Diane, but Diane who ?

Jada Pinkett-Smith....she is lead singer in a band, is short, and went to school in North Carolina.....

Jada Pinkett-Smith....she is lead singer in a band, is short, and went to school in North Carolina.....

Jada Pinkett-Smith....she is lead singer in a band, is short, and went to school in North Carolina.....

I'VE GOT IT!!! A friend of mine who is senior executive at Disney confided in me that Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith (I may have her first name wrong) were both gay, had an arranged marriage and kids but are still gay on the side. I never believed it about Will but had heard from other people that Jada was mostly gay. This backs it up.

Jada is still married, not newly single. Try again.

That's why I said Jodie; she's newly single and I'm pretty sure she was pregnant at least once. (I think she adopted one kid, but I am not sure.)

Kate Hudson, anyone?

Jodie Foster's ex-girlfriend is a) White and b) a producer, not a singer. Get over Jodie Foster...it's not her!

TONY THE TIGER IS RIGHT ON THE MONEY. I WOULD NEVER HAVE BELIEVED IT IF THEY HAD NOT PROPOSITIONED SOMEONE I ACTUALLY KNOW.

But it says they only dated for a year. Jodie could have seen her before she hooked up with her most recent ex. I thought Kate Hudson at first, but was she big enough in the late 90s to afford to buy a girlfriend a house?

Think about the last sentence. It has to be someone beautiful who's been around for about 12 years or so. Jodie and Jada do not fit the bill. Kate Hudson has been around Hollywood her entire life.

Well, well, well - now I understand the attraction between Tom Cruise and Will Smith....lol.

Jada Pinkett Smith. My friend was in the same circle as her in the 90's and always alluded to the fact that Jada liked girls.

An A-list, newly single superstar... Did Will and Jada split?

J. Smith. Everyone knows Will and Jada go the other way. A friend of mine dated their nephew who was living with Will and Jada back in 01-02. She confirmed that both are gay and they swing. She said all KINDS of things were going on at the house. The kids are a little weird to me anyway and its no secret that Jada can turn up/down the femininty. Sometimes she looks like a young boy, sometimes like a woman. Yuck!

It's not Jada Pinket Smith. Her and Will didn't split and if they did, she's not A-list. Only with him is she A-list. Other than the Matrix movies, I can't think of anything she was in.

And the last line of the item, about when ----- has a crush on you, you switch. Jada is nowhere attractive enough to make any hetero woman consider it. That's the only reason why I think it's not Jodie Foster but maybe it is.

it could be kate hudson as she did move out to hollywood around 1996 and now happens to be an A-list star. I did read somewhere that she has a home in NC.

um Kate Hudson was 17 in 1996 and probably living at home with her mother Goldie Hawn. She didn't even have much of a career back then, so give that theory a rest...especially since there's never been any indication that Kate likes girls.

Jada and Will is old news, they don't even look like they take the whole "straight married couple" thing seriously. By the way, Jada was already known as an actress in 96, so I don't think "Edina" is her. Plus Jada is still married and this story is about the A list celeb.

Edina said if the A list celeb "has a crush on you, you consider switching sides," to me that means it would have to be someone who's knock-out gorgeous, and Jodie Foster has never been that much of a knock out that she could make someone switch sides.

Sharon Stone back then maybe, she was an A lister around that time and (still) gorgeous...but she's not recently single and she adopted her Aryan clan, plus she's always hinted at the bi thing so it wouldn't be such a shock.

So I think it's someone not mentioned here. Think hard, who has recently split, has a child and could turn straight women gay?

Liv Tyler recently split with her husband. She was 21 in 1996...and she has a child. Plus was a model at the time...maybe her?

Jodie Foster had a thing w/ Whitney Houston in the early 90's. She is not attractive enough to divert someone's sexuality, although maybe the last refers to her intelligence and star power rather than her physical composition. JF also did have child sometime in the 90's - but don't know if she was pregnant, or adopted.

Whitney Houston is pretentious, but short?

Whitney Houston is certainly pretentious, but short?

It's Rosie and Oprah!

I like the idea of Liv Tyler, Katie.

I'm just not sure who it is. It's definitely not Jada/Will Smith.... they're both pretty well known to be gay, they're not recently split, and Jada is not A-list.

I can't think of anyone else though...

you do realixe that it says this is a dated story.
so its not jodie or liv, because that happened not to long ago

WELL you guys got his old brain of mine ticking... wow....

Somewhere the article mentioned one of the other person being black... and most guesses above forget that small clue....
come guys we need to figure this one out. I NEED TO KNOW.... YOU GUYS GOT ME SO CURIOUS....

My votes:

1. Whitney Houston (was an A-lister, was gorgeous, is a FANTASTIC singer, pretty much recently divorced, and did bare a child.....

2. the country singer, S.T. sp??? she is hot, recently separated, bared a child and her lover could be black.

2. Kate Hudson... she was 17 y/o in the 90's but she could of used her momma's money to buy house for her black girlfriend.....

3. Jodie was pregnant in the 90's I remember seeing her pics. Was cute in her day... not sure if i would say knock out though....

Rosie and Oprah, LMAO.... good one

Jada and WILL I hope NOT i luvs me some Will.... but someone mentioned the attraction between Tom and Will... makes me wonder, and it hurts cuz that would make sense and break my heart.

SOMEONE PLEASE FIGURE THIS ONE OUT... CUZ I NEED TO KNOW.

T-bone, i always value your opinion, please get to thinking.

J. feel free to email me... you have address...

What about Andie MacDowell?

Lisa if you would please clarify:

is FELLAS, men?
is FELLAS, a female that is ugly in Spanish...????

this clue would help.... PLEASE ANSWER!!!!!

SAMMY: who in the "F" is Andie MacDowell?

is this andie a male, i believe the clues indicate a female.

Andie McDowell is a female, did a few movies back in 80's and 90's, currently a spokesperson for some make-up or hair color company.

She's pretty gorgeous, late 30's or 40-ish.

And as far as the lady needing to be a knockout to get a straight girl to flip, I think lesbians aren't quite as shallow as we gay boys. They seem to be attracted to stupid stuff like intelligence and personality. Yuk!

(And a butt-load of money never hurts either)

Ugly in Spanish is FEA not fellas...

Ugly in Spanish is FEA not fellas...

What about Penelope cruz (sorry about spelling) and for the short black lady Whitney did come to mind but what about so did queen latifal,Irene Cara, Sada

Sheesh. People never read what's actually thre.
This is the real question:

What A-list actress is recently single, probably not originally from LA, and has a 9 or 10 year old kid who was natually born, not adopted?

Here's my analysis with facts from the blind item:

1. The affair happened in 1996 or 1997, but
the A-list actress is newly single right
now.

2. The A-list actress moved to Hollywood
in 1996, no clue whether she was already
an established actress.

These facts are fluff and don't matter:
1. The girlfriend was a short, pretentious black
woman we're calling Edina. Edina met the
A-List actress at a concert, where Edina
was a singer. Not necessarily a name singer,
just a singer.
2. The A-list actress bought a cabin in North
Carolina, where Edina is from.
------------------------------------------------

So let's do the math. If their affair went on for a year, and the A-list actress got pregnant not too long after that, then 1996 plus a year = 1997. Then a bit of time to get pregnant, let's say the kid was born in 1998 or 1999.

That makes it not Sharon Stone (adopted kid), not Kate Hudson, not Jada Pinkett. And Andie McDowell is 50 and not A-list. How about Reese? I just don't know.

Jodie Foster - votes against:
As pretty openly lesbian, a girlfriend in 1996 would not be a big scandal for her, so why bother to repeat it now?
Her first kid was born around 1999, so that fits.
She was born and lives in LA, so why would she have to "move out to Hollywood?" Silence of the Lambs was 1991, after all. You can say that she moved back after Yale, but she graduated in 1985. I vote no.

Whitney Houston - votes against:
Probably not considered an A-list actress.
Her first movie was 1992 (The Bodyguard) but she did TV in the 80's.
Would we call her "recently" single? I vote no.

Liv Tyler - votes against:
her kid was born in 2004, she was born and lives in NYC, and she was 21 in 1996 by which time she had already done several movies, starting in 1993. I vote no.

Someone solve, please!

Moi: thanks, I speak Spanish, but not a good speller.

Hear I go w/my 2 cents, AGAIN:

Jodie Foster and Whitney Houston.

Jodie being the A-Lister and Whitney being the black singer. This could explain Whitney's drug abuse... I've seen people loose themselves in drugs due to a TRUE love gone bad.

So, Whiteney is coming back and Jodie (I think does not dig drugs) BUT now that Whiteny is clean (THANK YOU LORD, i am so happy for that) Jodie leaves her lover to be with Wit-Wit....

ok peeps your turn to shoot this one down or add gas to the fire!!!!!!

Lisa can you @ least let us know if he are even close....

LauRen - The black singer was described as short, which doesn't describe Whitney. Probably pretentious, though! Ha.

By the way, I'm reconsidering my arguments from earlier. The blind item only says "she moved out to Hollywood in 1996." "She" could mean the A-lister, or the tipster. So that possibly shoots down some of my thoughts. Or not. Damn these blind items!

I'm begging you, just tell us. I have to make myself pretty to go out! This could take hours!

one more guess, (till tomorrow of course):

JADA and JODIE, but not making Will gay, just like all straight guys, he likes to see girl on girl....

Miss smarty pants: plz give your in put.... have fun and be safe 2nite.
p.s. its ok to call me D.LR. its a joke...

Since nobody here can spell or read, let's go over this again:
Character #1: Tinseltown hotshot, Hollywood leading lady, back on the market, newly single,
pregnant @ 1997-98, presumably married at the time.

Character #2: Short, pretentious black woman singer from North Carolina, previously hetero.

Plot: The two characters met a concert in 1996, where #2 was performing, and began an affair
lasting about a year, persisting through the star's pregnancy. They used a cabin in North Carolina for trysts, bought by #1 for #2.

So who's the hotshot leading lady, newly single??

It could be Jada Pinkett-Smith because it says that the star, not the singer, is back on the market.

She is short, black and from North Carolina. She even attended North Carolina School of the Arts.

Not sure who the A-lister is though.

Blind, the whole lot of you!

The item is about the A-list actress, not "Edina," the short, black vocalist.

While Jada certainly isn't the actress, I wouldn't be surprised if she is "Edina"--don't any of you know that Jada does VOCALS for a band called Wicked Wisdom?:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wicked_Wisdom

Jada is actually from Baltimore, MD, not North Carolina. She spent only one year in NC when she attended the North Carolina School of the Arts after having begun her studies at the Baltimore School of the Arts. I think it's a stretch to affiliate Jada with the state of North Carolina.

As I said before, if you read clearly the story is NOT about the short pretentious black woman, that could be anyone on the street, she is NOT the celebrity in question.

Edina, the short pretentious black woman, is friends with the tipster who sent in the blind item. She (Edina) told the tipster about an A List celeb she (Edina) had a fling with.

We're trying to figure out who this A List celeb is, we're NOT trying to figure out who Edina is.

What we know about the A List celeb is this:

1) she (the A list celeb) is beautiful enough (or maybe persuasive enough) to pick up straight women and turn them gay.

2) she (the A list celeb) was pregnant around 97 or 98, meaning she (the A list celeb) has a 10 year old child now.

That rules out Kate Hudson and Liv Tyler, both of whom got pregnant much later. Kate didn't even become an A list celeb until 2000. SO, which a list female celebrity, who has recently split from a relationship and has a child who is at least 10 years old, is the story about?

In the line that reads: "According to our tipster, she moved out to Hollywood back in 1996 and roomed with 'a short pretentious black woman' ", I assumed the tipster was the one who moved out to Hollywood in 96 and became room mates with Edina, who was already living in Hollywood.

The A list celeb did NOT move out to Hollywood at that time, since she (the A list celeb) was already living there and was already established as an A list celeb, this how she could afford luxuries such as buying a cabin for a fling (Edina).

SO, we are trying to figure out who the A lister who bought the cabin and got pregnant in 97 - 98 really is, NOT anyone else.

That being said, I'm now in need of a cocktail.

Matty: bring me one as well. let me live up to my name.

so the A lister is hot, white w/a child 10ish....

Jodie???? she was hot at one time

Isn't the tipster the one who moved out to Hollywood and roomed with Edina?!? Um, an A-Lister wouldn't need to room with anyone and wouldn't take in a roommate. The blind item, no offense, is written poorly. Here is my take.

This part written as is... is confusing:

"According to our tipster, she moved out to Hollywood back in 1996 and roomed with "a short pretentious black woman" whom we'll refer to as Edina. Allegedly Edina met the A-lister at a concert where Edina was a singer and their relationship persisted on and off for about a year."

Read it re-written as the Tipster in first person and it would say:

"I moved out to Hollywood in '96 and roomed with a short black woman named Edina. Edina was a singer and met an A-lister at one of her shows. Edina and the A-lister saw each other for about a year."

Edina isn't the A-lister. Edina and the A-lister both lived in Hollywood in '96. The person who moved out to Hollywood is the Tipster. The roommates were the Tipster and Edina. The Tipster tells us her roommate, Edina, met an A-lister and had an affair for about a year. The A-lister bought a cabin in NC for Edina as it was Edina's home state. We'll Assume the affair also happened in '96.

The Tipster is saying this A-lister is newly split from a relationship. The Tipster does not say if it's the same relationship the A-lister had been in back in '96, nor does the Tipster tell us what the A-lister looked like other than she is well-known enough to persuade someone to change teams (as Edina was only into guys before the A-lister came along). That's not to say the A-lister is attractive, but quite famous and wealthy. The Tipster doesn't imply that Edina The Singer is anyone we would know. Edina isn't the big name. There is no implication that BOTH Edina and A-lister are famous. There is no implication that Edina and the A-lister BOTH lived in NC.

Edina and the A-lister were seeing each other. They broke up and occasionally saw each other during A-lister's pregnancy. They broke up for good sometime thereafter. We are assuming Edina and A-lister have had nothing to do with each other since then. Why the Tipster is telling us about this affair from 12 years ago, I don't know. The A-lister is probably someone that people don't think is privately a lesbian, ie; Jada, Jodie, etc. We do not know the ethnicity of the A-lister. We do not know her age or Edina's. We know the A-lister has a 10/11 year old kid. We do know that the A-lister was an A-lister at the time of the affair, 12 years ago.

I suppose I should break it down further:

Tipster: moved to Hollywood in '96, roomed with a short black singer aka 'Edina'. Spilling beans about an affair her roommate, Edina, had with a female A-lister back in '96.

Edina: Straight, short, pretentious, black singer living in Hollywood, took in Tipster as a roommate in '96. Had an affair with a female A-lister who bought her a cabin in NC (Edina's home state). The affair presumably occurred in '96 and lasted for a year. Not presumed to be famous.

A-Lister: Living in Hollywood as a well-known female star (already highly re-guarded in '96). Possibly married. Met a short black female singer named 'Edina' and began an affair in '96 or sometime thereafter. Became pregnant, infuriating Edina, ending the relationship. Occasionally saw Edina during pregnancy, but broke up for good sometime thereafter. Is newly single and has at least one child around 10 or 11 (if the affair occurred in '96).

We are assuming we don't know the tipster or Edina. The person we would know for sure is the A-lister. Why I spent my time typing this out... who knows. I hope that helps to possibly clear things up.

Christ you guys are all retarded.
Its Jodie Foster.

Jodie Foster is an A-list
(please Kate Hudson? Jada? there not A-list at least not to be called a SUPERSTAR)

JF just became single (I don't buy that)

JF wanted a baby around 96

and in that time only Hollywood knew Jodie was gay. The general public didn't know. Hell people are surprised NOW to hear it.

There was a poll done not to long ago asking straight women who they would go gay for...
Jodie Foster came in 2nd after Jolie
and 1st for Long Term Relationships
So yeah I'm not surprised with the line:
"Before that [Edina] liked the fellas but I guess if _____ has a crush on you, you consider switching sides."

One of the easiest BI ever and you guys don't get it.

Anon:

I agree. Uh, not that I'm retarded, but that it more than likely is Jodie. But that only confirms the story's overall lameness. If it's Jodie, big friggen deal. If people are shocked by that, we should also let them know that Ellen Degeneres is gay. Gasp! No really. If it is Jodie, then the Tipster is a complete moron. Ooooh, digging up some dirt! Who hasn't known that's she's been with a woman for YEARS? And, uhh... yes, she's newly single... from the relationship with that woman. Like we need confirmation that she was gay in '96 too. The only way this story could be worthy of juicy gossip is if it ISN'T Jodie.

I think i have it -
the tip is a little out of date right?
ready?
MEG RYAN!

amy i think the shocker is going 2 be the black back up singer....

being: Jada or Whit and I am sticking to that... and Jodie being the recently single one...

hey, wait, maybe the a-lister is Amy Winehouse, she is recently single, jk... please don't throw any stones....

Lisa please help,by telling us... why is it such a SECRET... cuz its good. huh....

DLR:

I didn't mean to throw stones or offend. It would be interesting if the singer were Jada or Whitney, but I don't think either one of them were rooming with people 12 years ago. The roommate angle could be a rouse I suppose. I'm just not convinced the singer was or is anyone famous otherwise that would have been mentioned for sure.

Wiz threw out a good one there... Meg Ryan... very interesting indeed. Did she split with anyone recently? She and Dennis ended a while ago. Now to confuse the issue even more I suggest Meg and Jodie get together. ;)

The most obvious person would be Jodie, but how boring is that? Especially if the singer was a nobody.

amy: we're good, girl!!!

Jodie is the obvious, and we will keep her in the A-lister seat... unless we find out its Meg is the white chick....

The reason I think the black singer might be the one that shocks us, IS b/c Lisa went out of her way to point out:

1. she is black
2. a singer (at the time a back up singer, not yet famous)

lets entertain that thought and let me know how much of this you can agree with nor not...

And it can not be Jodie and Meg, cuz if it was important enough to mention that she is a black singer, then the a-lister has to be white.

Toni Braxton was big in the 90's. She is short and has ties to Carolina.

I know the main subject of the BI is not the singer, but she does fit that half.

Could it be Kim Basigner? I'd switch teams for her any day!

This can only be one of two women that I can think of off the top of my head. It is either Jada Pinkett-Smth or Hilary Swank. Both were married in 1997. Jada had a baby, but as is not "newly single". Hilary has not had a baby that I know about but divorced Chad Lowe in 2006. I'm leaning towards Jada. It has been know that Will and Jada have an open marriage. Some say that Will has slept with a few co-stars.

I'm leaning towards Jada and Jodie Foster. But I can't find any info on whether Jada was singing at concerts in the late 90s (WW was formed '03).

The A-lister was pregnant in the late 90s:
Jodie had Charles 7/20/98 (coincidentally Jada had Jaden 7/8/98). Kim Basinger had Ireland 10/23/95 (too early and she's not recently single).

As for Edina being short and pretentious, Jada is 5'0" but how about:
Lil Kim is 4'11"
Lisa left-eye Lopes was 5'1"
Toni Braxton 5'2"
Can't be Whitney, she's 5'8".

I can't really see Jodie going to Jada's concert if she was performing at that time nor can I see her going to a Lil Kim concert. But I can see her going to a Toni Braxton concert, and possibly a TLC concert.

I hate myself for spending (wasting) so much time on this.

What about Julia Roberts and I have no idea who the black women is I thought Wanda Sykes.

Reese Witherspoon!!!!!

Actually the BI does not address the time of the affair or the birth of the child if you assume that it is the tipster who moved to LA in 1996 with Edina. All that tells you is the story was told to the tipster in 1996 at the time of the room mate arrangement. Edina could have been telling a recent event or something in the past.

Crap. I thought there'd be an update. What the hell does it matter anyway?! Damn you Lisa and your blind item.

thumbalina: Kim was my guess too... or maybe hope? She's well worth switching teams for!

How hot would it be if it were Kim Basinger and Toni Braxton? I know the timing isn't right for the Kim theory, just sayin'.

I'm just gonna make up my own story and maybe give some people some hooking-up ideas. I think our theories are far superior to whatever the actual story is. Whooopty doo it's Jodie and some chick. Argh.

Prominent diminutive stars with connections to North Carolina are Stephanie Mills (90s resident and current resident) and Roberta Flack (native North Carolinian). Either revealed to have played for the other team would be great gossip.

During the early 90s Stephanie was broke and her career as a R&B hitmaker over. Roberta Flack did not need to room with anyone in the 90s, she was firmly established and hopefully financially secure.

The young R&B singers with North Carolina connections are Adina Howard (biggest hit Freak In Me) and Sunshine Anderson (Heard It All Before).
