The Don



He's got the ring. The middle name. (Hey thanks Extra!) And heck some even speculated that John was God. Wow the(God)father? The rest of that you can decide for yourself.

Just had to give some Austy love today.

UPDATE: Austin in New Movie!

I think Don is a nice middle name. This is one of the finest pictures of Austin. The best were in the Lakers 1 set.

So the arrest made Austin 'come out' with his real height and a middle name that strangely had been absent till now.

Austi, all your secrets are being revealed. Ha Ha.

I just want to see a picture of him to know he's okay.

Nice post, Special K :) He was so adamant he only had two names in that Paper magazine interview, though :)

Wicked said...

Zero, so nice to hear from you in the last thread.
I've been thinking about the fallout from this JJ blogger. Maybe it will take a while before it reaches the mainstream. Lakers I was in 2/06 and nothing was said about it from Jake or his people until two months later. JJ's blog post continues to spread on the internet.

Anonymous said...

10:42: The only reason why Jake's people said anything two months later, in April was because D-listed posted that bogus coming out story on his site and the NY Daily news picked it up and contacted Jakes people, a few weeks later Star picked up the Daily News story. When the 1st set of Lakers pictures appeared in 2/06, all of the chatter was online,the mainstream media never picked up on it, not even the Daily News nor the Star, therefore there was no need for any comment.

This is still strickly internet with the now lesser known blogs repeating it and repeating it wrong I might add. Also, Defamer, Gawker, TMZ, Jared, Perez, Lainey and Towerload, the major blogs have so far not commented.

Anonymous said...

Gawker did run an item where they concluded that Chris is the mysterious bf.

Anonymous said...

I think it won’t reach the mainstream press or sites. Only obscure blogs are repeating it and nobody believes it anyway. Not even JJ is updating the story. The story will fade away and will be discredited as another internet rumor. Nothing will change.

10:54: You are mixing up the gawker story that ran two weeks ago. They picked up the ONTD post about Jake and Chris and them in MV and decided that was his BF, they also posted a bunch of other Jake/Chris photos. Gawker said that there was a silly dispute and they decided that it was Chris, they treated it like a joke. They have yet to comment on this.

As this is about Austy love, I really hope he reads the HBO boards and sees all the love there in both the official and unofficial threads. They miss their John!

Special K said...

Please don't feed the troll.

Thanks.

Special K said...

You're right Syclla.

All about Austy!

JFC no matter how brief changed his career. He showed what an incredible talent he has. From his role in TDAT to JFC, it was a total transformation in his acting.

It shows all the hard work commitment and dedication he has given to growing as an actor .

I think his work on JFC has opened even more opportunities for him.

Blue Velvet said...

They do love Austy on the JFC boards. I'm still amazed by what a great job he did playing John. I'd love to see him work with David Milch again. Hope we hear some good news about him soon.

Thank you for sharing that from Newsweek.

Family friends have been together 60 yrs and yet feel they can not share their relationship with others. It is never spoken of but their love and devotion for each other speaks louder than words. Hope that somehow they will read the article.

frenchy said...

This lady wonders if she should be congratulated for telling her story. My answer is a resounding yes!

But our silence for all those years was also partially a self-induced caution. Looking back, I think it's possible that as the world changed, we didn't change fast enough.

Hollywood, are you listening?

Thanks for this great article heph.

Btw, there is some interesting info on Rendtion at WDW. Gavind Hood had some really nice things to say about Jake. Said he is brilliant in the movie. And Jake had very nice things to say about Gavin. Sounds like things went a lot smoother on this film than on Zodiac with Fincher.

I think Jake had some problems with post-BBM homophobic teasing on the set of Zodiac. According to Chloe S some of it emerging from the director.
Did you see on WFT that Austin got a new movie role. Good news. Guess he didn't get to Italy this summer after all.

Yay for Austin. I think he really needs to work right now.

And he's working with Ashley Olsen again.
But working with Billy Bob? I can see them two getting along like a house on fire.

Incidentally, I'm thinking that Jon Foster (another co star) is Sophia Bush's boyfriend.

"I think Jake had some problems with post-BBM homophobic teasing on the set of Zodiac. According to Chloe S some of it emerging from the director."

What a jerk! Whatever Jake's sexual orientation is (that is if he is now hiding something or not) I will always respect him for taking Jack's role. The challenge was not playing the role but enduring the homophobic sniggering after the movie. BBM is a masterpiece (thanks to everyone involved) and nothing, even the Oscar snub, will ever change that fact.

Anonymous said...

I looked it up. It seems Jon Foster is Sophia's bf.

So maybe he and Austi will have duel for her!

David Fincher is a moron. Apart from a whole slew of other things, that sort of behaviour is completely unprofessional. Some of these HW people forget they are at work.

Well guys, prepare to vomit:

the new UsWeekly is reporting that on August 25 Jake and Reese were openly kissing at a restaurant in LA. He had his head resting on her shoulder and was whispering to her. The following day they had a barbecue at her house with friends. It says they are worried about their relationship being made into a press spectacle at the premiere of their movie.

August 25: the day after Austin’s arrest. I think this is reported to cover the real place Jake was that weekend.

Interesting info about Bret Ellis:

"He (BEE) was known to be heterosexual for most of his life, but in August 2005 he broke his silence about his sexual orientation and told The New York Times that his best friend and lover for six years, Michael Wade Kaplan, died in January 2004, at the age of 30. The article entitled, "Bret Easton Ellis: The Man in the Mirror" states the following about Michael Wade Kaplan and Bret Easton Ellis' relationship:

The other dedication is to Michael Wade Kaplan, who Mr. Ellis said was his best friend and lover for six years, and who died, in January 2004, at the age of 30. They did not live together, Mr. Ellis said: "It was a very loose kind of partnership. It was not particularly conventional, and neither one of us was interested in the lifestyle, I guess." Mr. Kaplan died barely a month after Mr. Ellis had traveled from New York to Los Angeles to spend Christmas with his mother and two sisters, as he has in most years since he finished college and moved to Manhattan. He planned to spend a few months finishing the final draft of "Lunar Park" and then return to New York. Instead, he said, Mr. Kaplan's unexpected death left him in a tailspin. He did not attend the funeral in Michigan, he said, because he could not even bring himself to leave his room - the room in his mother's house in Sherman Oaks, in the San Fernando Valley, where he grew up. And he stayed in Los Angeles for 19 months, shuffling from mother to sister to friend and finally a series of hotels, suffering what he calls "a midlife crisis." "His death was a big catalyst to finish the novel," Mr. Ellis said, and it probably added "a new layer of wistfulness and melancholy to the writing" that had not been there before."

Special K said...

Thanks GC for sharing that with everyone here.

frenchy said...

Now these are great news about Austin. We'll have something more interesting to look forward to than the usual Jeese, ahem, "news", lol!

What a sad story gc. Not even attending your BF's funeral... Afraid of "the lifestyle"? What "lifestyle"? I remember reading a Jonathan Rhys-Meyer's interview in which he pondered his future and said something like "or I'll be gay and live alone". Stereotypes die hard.

Ok, one more book to my must-read list. :)

Maybe it's just me, but hearing that Austy has signed on for a new movie makes me very doubtful about the reality of Baby Tile.

P. S. I would have loved to see Austy play the vampire!

UsWeekly:

“Reese & Jake dinner out!
From undercover sweethearts to unabashed squeezes! On August 25 Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal dined at Santa Monica, California’s trendy Brass Cap. “The were openly kissing,” a witness tell Us. “Jake was resting his head against Reese’s and whispering.” Gyllenhaal, 26, ate his pasta, but Witherspoon, 31, picked at her Dover sole. Skipping dessert, they slipped out the back door, only to spend the next day together, barbecuing with friends at Witherspoon’s home in LA’s Breentwood. Will the PDA continue at the Toronto Film Festival (starting September 7), where their film, Rendition, debuts? Says a source, “They’re worried about the international press making a spectacle of their relationship.””
“A witness says Witherspoon “seemed very flirty” with Gyllenhaal.”

OK! Magazine:

“Reese & Jake Painting the town
Camera-shy couple Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal were one step closer to going public last week when the pair snuck away to Martha’s Vineyard for a family vacation. Shortly before the getaway, Jake, 26 and his sister, Maggie, 29, dropped into Lee’s Art Shop in NYC and picked up color-by-number paintings sets for Reese’s kids, Ava, 9 and Deacon, 3. When Reese, 31, met up with Jake in Martha’s Vineyard, he gave the children their special gifts. A pal of Jake tells OK!, “The kids loved them! When a rainy day came along, they stayed indoors and painted all day.” Jake’s big sis, Maggie, approves of his new girlfriend and tells a pal, “Reese is the best thing that’s ever happened to him.””

Life & Style:

“Reese and Jake have been dating for months.
Should Reese and Jake go public?
Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal are doing the right thing by keeping their romance on the q.t. They don’t need a lot of drama and attention. The relationship should be kept quiet until it becomes serious. Better safe than sorry, that’s the best way to play it.”

From Crazy days and nights:

"Billy Bob Married To Kim Basinger And Having An Affair With Ashley Olsen Even In A Movie Sounds Like A Party

Billy Bob Thornton and Kim Basinger are slated to star as a married couple in "The Informers," which is an adaptation of the novel of the same name.


The book is set in Los Angeles in the early 1980's and basically follows seven separate stories over the course of a week including a movie executive (Thornton), his wife (Basinger) his very sexually promiscuous mistress (Ashley Olsen), a rock star, a vampire (Brandon Routh) and a kidnapper.

Also joining the cast are Jon Foster and Jake Gyllenhaal's special friend Austin Nichols. The filming begins in October in South America so it's the perfect place for Jake and Austin to find some Spanish books and watch lots of polo because that's what friends do."

Maggie was spotted in MV this month w/o Peter and do you actually believe that HW "insider" JJ actually outed Jake by posting the same old TT BI's that were e-mailed to him by a "fan"??? If he was an insider and had sources than why the hell was he pimping Jake and Reese on his blog up until his gay list came out and you lovely folks e-mailed him the TT archives?? I guess you chose him because he seemed dumb, clueless and that he feeds and sometimes writes articles for the NE. Hmmm, no mainstream media attention like you folks were hoping for? Oh well, better luck next time.


PS: Don't you think it odd that JJ NEVER addressed JAke and Reese after he supposedly checked with his sources in HW after the e-mail? I mean his contact would have to know, wouldn't they???

Anonymous said...

No one who follows the TT saga had ANY idea what type of vehicle Jake and bf were in when they had their backseat rendezvous nor that they were in the parking lot of Chin Chin's. The only thing Ted said about that incident was that it was near the Sunset Strip. Chin Chin's is on Sunset Boulevard.

Another new detail was that the baby is indeed coming, will be born next month and it was conceived a surrogacy agency in Westwood. Again, these are new details that were woven into the Toothy Tile saga. These new details I found interesting.

By the way, in the Jake/Austin "bedhead" shots in February 2006, they are both walking near a big black vehicle that looks like an SUV.

There was also an Toyota SUV that was in a picture of Jake furniture shopping with a big grin on his face in November of 2005. He was photographed at two cars his and the SUV.

Anonymous said...

3:54: You are so easily duped. The SUV was added very easily, even random: It's a very popular sports vehicle and BTW Reese was seen driving one several times, something that i'm sure that popped into the head of the e-mailed. The resturaunt on SS: they did a google search probably of resturaunts on the SS and found several, saw Chin, Chin thought it was funny because if Reese. And as far as the clinic is concerned: Jake lives in Westwood/HH, they again probably used google to search for clinics in CA that did that type of procedure and there you go, it's called embellishing. They had to to make it seem "new" and they also knew there was really no way to check: The police report was squashed! And the fact no date/month was given for the incident, it's like a needle in a haystack. Even the fight at the hotel with Jake and Kristen is on public recird, i remember reading about it. I read about several public spat with them.

Like all fan fic, the writer sdo their research and it's so easy when there is so much out there, It would have been better if they e-mailed him something that had nothing to do with the TT BI's, then maybe it wouldn't have become such a joke on the net.

Nanny Diaries Family Outing: A Summary Description

About to leave house. Niece lock car keys in car. Hysterical mother calls insurance company which dispatches towing company guy who unlocks said car. Car keys retrieved. On our way to mall. Buying tickets for the 1:00 PM showing. Guy at the counter says “have to warn you this is a ‘baby showing’” (in French “représentation poupons”). Don’t know what this means so ask for clarifications. Well, these are specifically designed for parents with babies. Lights won’t be put out completely and the sound will be “lowered”. Being childless and therefore considered selfish bitch, consult with sister in order to benefit from well-developed motherly instinct and perspective. Answer from sister: “Fuck them! Let’s go see ‘The Invasion’”. General reaction: Yeah! General review: 13-to-25 group: Great! 40-somethings: Craig is such a hot SOB. Best comedy we’ve seen in a long time.

BTW these baby showings are really great if you’re a parent of totally tiny little bundles of joy. Outside they have strollers and a table full of diapers, those wet napkins and baby powder, a coffee machine (no charge) and microwave ovens. I never knew these things existed over here. Do you have them in the States and in Europe? I’ll go to sleep a lesser idiot tonight.

frenchy said...

I know that PR people cannot comment on everything that's being published about their clients but I remember Matt Damon commenting on friend Ben Affleck and saying that things can really go downhill for actors when they become tabloid fodder. And it seems to me that this is what Jake is becoming with that Jeese thing.

Destiny already commented on this situation either here or at WFT (sorry for my poor memory) and said that she didn't understand why Jake's team was playing that card and what benefits they were expecting (slap me good if got you wrong honey!).

This tab "frenzy" feels so wrong with the career Jake always seemed to be pursuing or wishing for himself. And don’t tell me “the tabs made this up”. Nobody will ever convince me that publicists had nothing to do with this saga.

Well Frenchy right now Jake is far more known as 'TT'or 'Reese's toyboy'.
Either way, I can't imagine it's where he wanted to be.
When was the last time you read anything about Jake's acting?

That's part of the reason I like Austin taking on this new role. I think it starts to get him out from under the BF Tile tag. And that's a good thing.

Wicked said...

Frenchy, I have never heard of a "baby showing." May I never be subjected to such a thing! :)

Ted once said (and I believe him) that Jake knew about TT and was proud of it so I can't think Jake hasn't enjoyed, up to a certain point, the attention this persona has brought upon him.

Deep down, I'm starting to wonder how Jake truly feels about Jeese. Is he bothered by these rumours or does the attention-seeker he once admitted being enjoy the interest this showmance is generating?

Any way it appears that in the mainstream press Jake will be known as the guy who once dated Kiki (at the time much more famous than he was) and now as Reese's toy Romeo (again a much more famous female counterpart).

As for Austin, I'm happy to hear about his new role particulary in the light of the recent DUI incident. On the mainstream front I don't think the way he's been linked to Jake has been nor will be damaging to his career. And online, his status as BF Tile has not prevented outpour of affection for him and admiration for his acting skills (see posts over at HBO).

Yet Austin still being pretty much "untouched" when it comes to media coverage, I agree with you that the more roles he gets and the more he can establish himself as an entity separate from Jake, the better.

frenchy said...

My sister regularly takes her kids to the movies and she had never seen this either. I wonder if this is a publicity coup or a new service offered to parents. It's a great idea as long as these showings are clearly identified, which was not the case yesterday.

Well, I don't think those that care about movies will look at Jake as just Reese's "boy toy" or as TT. Thankfully, those entertainment shows aren't talking about Jeese all the time. The difference is that with Bennifer and Brangelina they talked about them every day. You don't here that about Jake/Reese. Yes there may be mentions in the magazines but they aren't on the covers every week like Brangelina. I think at TIFF they will try to keep it all about the movie.

Special K said...

Thanks 9:26.

Is there a name that we can thank you by?

Blue Velvet said...

Just want to agree with ag and frenchy - the more Austy establishes himself as his own person (actor and personality), the better for him on all scores.

I'm not a Perez fan at all but I think his answers in that interview are pretty interesting. I do agree with him about most of the following:

"Can you explain why outing is so viscerally important to you?
I don’t consider it outing. I consider it reporting. I am not speculating that Wentworth Miller is gay. I know Wentworth Miller is gay. One of my best friends dated Wentworth Miller. I know the person he’s currently dating. I believe in equality. I’m not going to discriminate against gay and lesbian people because mainstream heterosexual society tells me that I should.
John Mayer is currently having a secret relationship with Cameron Diaz. US Weekly and People magazine — everyone is talking about it. So why is it okay for me to talk about John Mayer’s secret relationship with Cameron Diaz but it’s not OK for me to talk about Wentworth Miller’s secret relationship with Luke McFarlane? Because there’s still a lot of internalized homophobia in this country. There’s still a lot of homophobic people who still think that being openly gay will hurt your career. And that’s not true."

Blue Velvet said...

RE: the Perez article - we can also ask why it's OK to discuss Jake's secret relationship with Reese, but it's not OK to discuss his secret relationship with Austin.

This is an interesting quote from Wentworth Miller in Germany GQ:

We've got an entire month of Jeese coming up so if we're bored now......

11:48AM: People just said that they didn't know if they were just friends are more. US magazine has been the go to magazine for this not People. People always printed the Jake/Reese stuff after US, OK and the reat of the rags do. People are hedging because they don't have an official comment from anyone, odd since that didn't stop them from printing that why Reese took Jake back story a few issues back.

I'm bored *and angry* about all these lies so I'm going to be angry tb for a few days if that's all right with you, Special.

Hope you aren't angry with Jake? The tabs are like a terrier with a rat when they've got a whiff of a new "romance".

Turning out to be a good week for Austin after all. Despite beginning with a night in the cells last Friday. Then his bf/f spends the following evening at dinner with Reese.

No, not with J or A. Just with the system and the hypocrisy, usual things - maybe feeling more hyped up because of the weekend's events.

Watching E! News last night and they were talking about Wenty needing a new love so look out ladies and Ryan Seacrest was pretending to be interested in some actress and I just thought this isn't right.

I'm not really an angry person so I'll switch back when I cool down.

Spesh, thanks for putting my song on! This is my new favorite song, everyone. Well, for today anyway. :)

AngryTB (aka Scylla)- I think it's such a shame for E! News to say that Wenty needs a new love when he seems so happy with Luke McFarlane. They are a cute couple. Even Wonting Witch, who runs the Wet for Went blog, (and admittedly lusts over Wenty and wants him for herself)supports this pairing. Why should Wenty have to hide this relationship?

they were talking about Wenty needing a new love

So they ignored Went&Luke pics / story?

I don't think we'll have to endure a month with nothing to get us through. I'm pretty sure Ted will give us something to sustain us when he gets back from vacation.

To be honest, I'm not sure why so many are so down. We knew this Eese thing was coming. Plus, Ted has told us several times that Eese is not for real. And he's told us that J&A are quietly domesticating. It's not pics, but it's enough for me.

RE: the Perez article - we can also ask why it's OK to discuss Jake's secret relationship with Reese, but it's not OK to discuss his secret relationship with Austin.

Right on BV. Perez reeks of double standards.

Until then I need to practice what I preach and not feed into it.

Special I think it will be impossible if not disingenuous to ignore Jeese. Whether we like it or not, this showmance is a phase in Jake’s career that we have to acknowledge. How he deals with it will be quite instructive IMO.

I would mind if we started to have endless discussions and arguments on petty Jeese details but I’m quite confident this won’t happen. If I look at this thread for example, I see a good balance of Austy love, Jeese news and comments, general gossip, serious stuff, personal thoughts and doubts, fun stuff, etc. Also, your visible presence on the blog helps in reminding us why we’re all here.

I think we have a good thing going on and I’m sure that even bad news won’t prevent us from having fun together.

I'm an incorrigible babbler. I'm going to shut up for the next few hours. :D

Guys, JJ speaks about "outing" Jake in this interview. Its pretty intense. He also says the story is going to be in "In Touch" Magazine next week.

link

The interview is also linked at his blog.

I cross-posted this on WFT and someone asked me what was said becuase they couldn't open the link. Here is my response:

The link is to an audio interview, and it takes a few minutes to load but if you wait it will start playing.

JJ is asked by the interviewers what is new on his blog, and he replies that he outed Jake this week and the story will be in In Touch magazine. They ask about Reese, and JJ says its to promote the movie. They ask what proof he has, and he says he has pictures from an ex-boyfriend that he can't post, but that are insurance if anyone tries to come after him for posting the story.

I have to admit I feel bad for Jake even though I'm intrigued by the story.

frenchy said...

How mainstream is "In Touch"?

Anonymous said...

Very mainstream, Frenchy. Its basically like US weekly, Life&Style, People, etc.

Anonymous said...

Frenchy, it is a mainstream magazine and has foreign editions in many countries. I doubt it will publish an outing.

frenchy said...

That JJ guy sure sounds extremely confident and he doesn't let go of Jake. Do you think In Touch may have made promises it does not intend to keep, if only to check how reliable his info is?

So JJ says this interview will come out next week, right? At least we don't have long to wait!

My take on In Touch is that it usually does not publish things that celebs do not like. I have a hard time imagining it publishing an outing. We will see quite soon, won't we?

frenchy said...

What do you have to do to make music suggestions through that esnips thing?

Wicked said...

Frenchy, just send an e-mail with your suggestion!

Florida Tom said...

If In Touch is considered mainstream by Jake's team you can bet they are scurrying about big time right now.

Anonymous said...

How would they know about In touch article?

Anonymous said...

If JJ is telling the truth, then In Touch would have gotten in touch with Jake's people for a comment.

frenchy said...

Frenchy, just send an e-mail with your suggestion!

Great. Now I feel like a complete bozo... :B :D

Oh Magic Tom, could you send Ted one of your great letters so we can find out what he's thinking about this outing story?

Whosthat, I have a feeling that Jake's team is keeping tabs or being kept informed on what's being said about Jake on blogs and websites. After all, the Internet is the only place where you can get your regular dose of Jake (both news and pics). His people may not react to everything that's being posted but they are probably regularly taking the pulse of his online fandom.

Of course this is a just a strong intuition and I may be wrong.

Florida Tom said...

Magic Tom. I like that. I will work on it Frenchy.

7:10, Jake's people are going to issue another "laughing" press release of denial. I wonder if this time they'll confirm the luvfest with Reese.

Hey it Friday night, can we have a name to add to the party list?

Wicked said...

Frenchy, DO NOT ENCOURAGE TOM!!! When his first question was printed, I had to deal with text messages from him telling me he is a god! His head is now too big to fit in any hats. If Ted prints another one of Tom's questions, we will not be cool enough for him to associate with anymore!

Anonymous said...

Oh Magic Tom, did you send Ted one of your great letters?

Florida Tom said...

The deed is done. If he prints this one not only am I a Prince but I get to make out with Prince Harry. Yummy.

Anonymous said...

Well, are you going to share it with us?

Anonymous said...

Ted will share it with us next week.

Tom I hope your letter gets posted just so we can see Wicked's head explode.

Florida Tom said...

Lets just say it involves current events.

Special K said...

Not to break up the Tom Lovefest : ) and when did become Tom and not Austin I ask you? : )

New post.
