I can't stress enough the sheer discrepancy between the total wreck who shuffled on stage on the arm of a roadie and the voice which came out in the performance, as strong - he always had a powerful voice - as it was 50 years ago when I first came across him.

And there was none of this playing slow soppy ballads cos he was getting on - all the old favourites (including Good Morning Little Schoolgirl which sounded a little odd on context and given recent court cases a tad uncomfortable, though I'm not suggesting anything bent about Winter.)

One of my favourites is Still Alive And Well from the album of that name, though sadly no longer true. The line 'Everyone I thought was cool is six foot underground' still cracks me up, as does, from Ain't Nothing To me about the singer advising a guy not to chat up a certain girl in a bar, the line 'Ah well, that's life - or at least it was.' I've always like wit in songs. Prince has - had - plenty of witty lines which make you laugh out loud but seem to go under the radar.

I hope not
Ok, so not so much high profile gigs in this link.

Him & Starman within a year??

I wouldnt call him a A list "singer" but it fits otherwise. He recently stepped back from Twitter & had a cancer scare a while ago, so it could be him. I think maybe hes done his last Tweet.

From The Gossip Life:

According to one of my network sources, this B-list actress refused to sing live on that highly hyped television special. She was the only one that outright refused and nothing could convince her otherwise. 'We had to work with sound a lot to make it work,' whispers my source, 'and we just had to hope that it all went right on the day. Thank God it did!' I'd love for her to have been exposed lip syncing live on the special. That would've been one for the blooper wheel!

From CDAN:

To be fair, this foreign born B+ list mostly movie actor didn’t know the guy she was hooking up with was married. At first. She does now and won’t stop seeing the husband of this former A list mostly television actress who will always have an iconic role to her name.

Gabriella who got Sucker Punched whilst on Spring Break? I'm guessing it's that TV special in any case.

Buffy?

Wouldn' t it also refer to the husband being an actor if it was her and Fred?

Considering her father died just hours before they went to air i can understand if she wasn't into it.

I was thinking Rachel as the iconic role, new hubby as the actor. No idea of the other woman? They did keep the wedding very quiet and could have been married long before it was officially announced. He does movies never the lead role and is in a TV series as well.

Probably, I can't think of anyone else although Ally Mcbeal crossed my mind but again her hubby is also famous.

I don't think of her role as being iconic more so the tv show itself.

The folks on CDAN are struggling with this one as well. Hardly any guesses. Clearly not enough clues given.

From CDAN:

This former superhero ended up in the bed of this former A list actress who is bff with the ex of the former superhero.

From CDAN:

I honestly thought if anyone would be above paying for paps, it would be this A- list mostly movie actress/behind the scenes person/Academy Award winner. Nope. She has done it a few times over the past couple of weeks and even brought a couple of wardrobe changes which is something not even Reese does.

From CDAN:

With things not going well this season on a former very hit network show turned into a soon to be canceled show, the A- list mostly television actor star of it has been taking it out on his significant other to the point where police have been called a few times but no arrests made.

Goldie's Daughter, Sony's 1st Spiderman


Clarice Starling


The Blacklist.

Never had the Blacklist guy down as a woman beater. As for the show, I'm surprised they've managed to stretch it out for as long as they have done.

Was Goldie's Daughter ever A-list? She's only made one good film ever.

She won a major award for it though and was seen as the next big thing for a short while. So briefly A list until the good roles stopped coming.

Was expected to win an Oscar for it but didn't, hasn't come close since.

From CDAN:

This B list mostly movie actress probably shouldn’t be that high but she has an iconic role that will be remembered in 100 years and it keeps her there. She likes to pretend she is clean and sober but she isn’t. She prefers pills so that way she looks like she is taking blood pressure pills or something. But, if you have a line of coke, she is just as happy for that too.

From The Gossip Life :

Mute the microphone, Gossipers, because this one can't go live! Sources close to this A-list singer whisper to us that's she lost her voice. 'She's never been great,' they whisper, 'but now she can't even carry a tune. She's lost every musical inkling.' As Scooby Doo says, 'Ruh roh!'

RiRi?
