Happy 2008 OMG!!!
2007 was quite a tumultuous year for us at OMG, to say the least! So many ups and downs with the J&A fandom. I feel that after so much upheaval, it is only fitting to reflect on the things that we are grateful for over this past year.
When Spesh and I created this place, we wanted an intimate space to talk about J&A where people were open to getting to know one another. Because of the people who post here, I can say- Mission Accomplished! I am incredibly grateful every day to the posters who come here. People praise us for our hard work, but I admit we did create this place a bit selfishly. We wanted a place where we would enjoy posting and participating too! I think we get back as much as we give.
I am incredibly grateful to Special K for her blog savvy, Photoshop skills, and ability to create awesome posts. I am most grateful for the fact that I got to actually meet her a couple months ago and now can consider her among my best friends. Blogging together kinda does that to ya! I could never do this blog on my own and am so glad that I don't have to. :) Love ya, Spesh!
I'm also so happy about all the other friends I have met in the fandom during 2007. Destiny, her Mrs., their friend who came along and turned out to be a Jake fan, NETB, and especially, Tom. Although I've wanted to kill him a few times when he has one of his "spells" (and when he texted at 4:55 AM!) he's a great guy and I'm so fortunate to know him. I would love to meet some of the other folks who post here too. Maybe we should have an OMG convention in 2008? ;)
Connection with other people is why we started this blog, why we continue this blog, and I think it's also why you guys come here. Here's to more connection in 2008. Happy New Year OMG!
Spesh and I have decided that January 2008 will be queer musical artists month at OMG. We originally were going to do a week, but quickly realized we could cover a month easily. Who would you like to hear?
ReplyDeleteWe had a little idea of a place to come together and to share and build a sense of community that we both missed. In the beginning it was a little scary, a lot crazy, and well a little over our heads. But how many great adventures do you get to do.
ReplyDeleteI remember saying to Wicked, what if we does this and no one comes? And she would say we are here for whoever wants to join us, always confident that there would be someone who would come.
OMG has given me so much! So many new friends, people that I would have never met and realize how much I would have missed out not meeting them, so many creative, talented, compassionate and caring people. I am so grateful to all of you who come here.
I know that I probably drive Wicked crazy some days. Definitely when we started out doing OMG. And without her there would be no music, because she made the player her bitch. I would never have so much patience to keep looking for player solutions. I would have just made you guys just hum to yourselves. Just from our emails I knew this was going to be such a great friendship, then came phone calls and finally getting to meet, and knowing that she had quickly become one of my closest friends. Wicked you're the best! You know you are always the voice of reason and assurance. And especially patience!
And to all of you who I met in person or spending time with chatting you have become wonderful friends. To those who come and post you are what makes OMG and what make us want to do, and well those two guys, what were there names again?
Happy New Year!!
Happy New Year to everyone at OMG. First I like to thank Wicked and Special for doing such a great job. They have worked very hard and have turned OMG into one awesome site.
ReplyDeleteWicked has become a big part of my life and I am one lucky guy. She is fun, she is smart, and she is caring, and she knows just what to do when I go into meltdown. Thanks W.
In 2007 I got to see Destiny and her posse again and met Special and NETB. They are such really nice people. This year I hope to see them again and meet more TBs. It would be great in 2008 if more of us got together. We have become a unique little family.
My first wish for all of us is that jeese ends soon. I am glad Jake and Reese are friends but I have had enough.
Secondly I wanna see Jake with Austin and his family and friends and Atticus. I love seeing Jake with them and it is so obvious that those folks are a huge and wonderful part of his life.
I also wish that Jake would finally come out but at this point that is so unlikely. I sure hope he gives the gay community more of his wonderful support this year. That is so important to me. I look for it all the time. His past antics have been some of my best memories of him.
Well again Happy New Year to everyone at OMG and I hope everyone checks in today. I will be looking forward to hear what everyone wishes for in 2008
Let go Fightin Phils..........
Happy New Year to everyone at OMG!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you so much for providing a great place for Jake's unique fanbase, this place has become a refuge for me when all hell seemed to break loose. You are all doing a wonderful job here.
Queer musical month? mmm.... from the top of my head, i can think of those I listen to: Marc Almond, Jimmy Sommerville, Pet Shop Boys, Rufus, Holly Johnson (Frankie Goes to Hollywood) etc. But the special one for me is Judas Priest's Rob Halford, cos he's probably the first heavy metal band member to say he's gay.
A job well done in 2007. I hope 2008 will be a better year for all J&A fans :)
Of course K. D. Lang, Melissa Ethridge, Elton John.
ReplyDelete^And George Michael, and Michael Stipe (REM).
ReplyDeleteForgot to add Jake Shears(Scissor Sisters) to the list. And as I mentioned George Michael, two of his songs are very apt for the current situation: "Kissing a Fool" and "Cowboys and Angels".
ReplyDeleteFreddie Mercury - Queen
ReplyDeleteJared Leto. Is he or isnt he?
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to Spesh, Stubborn, Wicked and rest of the OMG gang!
ReplyDeleteHere's looking at you, kids!!
Cling. Cling.
^^Cheers to you to, Rattler!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning, everyone (a little late ;) )
What a great post, love the animation and of course, Sinead.
And if I haven't shown my appreciation for this wonderful blog, let me do so now: it is so creative, full of life and music, humorous, full of wonderful people - we are all "unique" but all have lots in common too, and I love you all, those I've been lucky enough to meet, and those who I haven't, but feel like I know.
This blog is obviously a labor of love - it shows a lot of love for our boys, and for us too, and we reciprocate that love!
The Very Best Wishes To All for a Happy and Healthy 2008! May all of our dreams come true. :*
Spesh and Wicked, January will Be Queer Musical Artists Month? Wow, I don't want to miss a minute! :)
I adore all of the artists you mention, but I'll add Jimmy Somerville and Erasure! Smalltown Boy and It Ain't Necessarily So, And You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real) - Jimmy has an awesome voice. :) I have always adored K.D. Lang, especially Trail of Broken Hearts and Constant Craving, and her version of Cole Porter's So In Love. Wow, what a Voice she has too!
ReplyDeleteDid Jake have aste spumante or some Austi Spumanti for the New Year? I'll never tell. ; )
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be a great way to start off the New Year with J and A out on the town(maybe NYC) and someone having a cell phone camera. Lets hope they send the pics to us and not IHJ.
ReplyDeleteGreat post as always! I forget to tell you sometimes how wonderful this place is, it really is. THANK YOU.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone added Melissa Etheridge to the gay musicians list? My mother would be very disappointed if you forget about Mel. ;)
Uhoh, New Years Day after the party and I can't even spell my own name right, must be hungover or sumptin. :o
ReplyDeleteJared Leto. Is he or isnt he?
ReplyDeleteJared is at least bi. Don't remember Jake mentioning Jared or Highway filming.
I know it is an unwritten policy of the Jausty fandom but since these are desperate and dark days(jeese) I say we give it to the end of Feb and if jeese dosen't go away we go on a little recruiting venture.
ReplyDeleteThere are a million ways to draw attention to Jausty all across the internet and if enough of us got involved we could many more interested. So many people are unaware of Jake and Austin. Plus I think it will draw a heck of a lot more fans than jeese. So I am asking everyone to think about it and if no one is interested I may go on a little venture myself. So as of today I am giving jeese to Feb. 29th, 2008.
I am not sure who else is sick of jeese but I have had enough!!!!!
My very best wishes for a Happy New Year to the amazing Special and Wicked for their tireless labour of love and to all my fellow OMGers and TBs!
ReplyDeleteThe warm spirit of this place is what keeps me here. And our common love and respect for Jake and Austin coupled with insightful, intelligent and fun comments is irresistible. I don't post often, but I read and relish every comment (well, I might side-step the odd one when there's a clean-up in aisle 4). I'm looking forward to another great year in 2008!
I was very intrigued by stubborn's comments about the video in the last thread. Body language doesn't lie. You can try to harness it for the first 3 or 4 "displays"; make it work for you. But eventually the truth outs through it, and it sounds like that's happening with Jake, who has extra trouble hiding what he's feeling at the best of times. I'm all for a Rebel Jake in 2008! C'mon, Jake, tear up the scenery, the play is coming to an end. I want a Jake and Austin year, too, even if that means we only get one photo every 3 months, lol. And while we're at it, how about every other special person in his life - including Atticus - be able to appear in photos with him. I'm tired of the Post-Nuclear Jake where only Reese supposedly survived.
I don't want to tempt fate, but I would honestly rather forego Jake pictures and know he's truly at peace than be subjected to any more Jeese. That's how strongly I feel about it. After these latest pictures I can't believe they're going to drag this thing through until after awards season. Have mercy.
On a happier note, I'm all kinds of giddy about the Musician's Month! My big request would be Rufus, of course, but I'll add my long, long, long-time love for Jimmy Sommerville. I'd also love to see Erasure in there. :)
I'm tired of the Post-Nuclear Jake where only Reese supposedly survived.
ReplyDeleteLOL!
BLTB, you are aware that only cockroaches can survive nuclear war, right?
ReplyDeleteBLTB, you are aware that only cockroaches can survive nuclear war, right?
ReplyDeleteOh sure, sure. *shifts eyes* What are we saying here? lol! ;)
Every now and then I live up to my name.
ReplyDeleteChanged our list of Famous Gay People to Famous Queer People and added some names. Who am I missing?
ReplyDeleteThe happy step family out and about on New Years Eve, they are beyond cute!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.flynetonline.com/2008/01/a-nice-stroll-with-jake-and-re/index.php
Ok -- this has gone too too far.
ReplyDeleteA Red Sox hat on Reese. I hang my head in disgust. Posing as a beard is one thing. Posing as Sox fan, That's it! Gauntlet has been thrown now!
Cute? They all looked pissed.
ReplyDeleteDeacon looks like he's about to cry - again.
ReplyDeleteI hope whatever Reese thinks she will get out of this is worth making her kids unhappy.
I haven't even looked yet :( but I always know. I logged on because I knew.
ReplyDeleteHopefully this freed Jake up for whatever his real New Year was about.
ReplyDeleteHow do you find them at a park in the on a holiday. I mean the Ivy yeah the paps are there, it's a given. But are they really hanging out at the park waiting? Or following you to all the way there?
ReplyDeleteWhat I find interesting is they get papped in places that are never regular places to get papped.
Aste Spumante:
ReplyDeleteA sparkling sweet white with a full fruity flavor.
Austi Spumanti:
A sparkling sweet white with a full fruity flavor.
Either way, Jakey boy wins. ;)
OK I looked. They all look miserable. It must be real! (joke)
ReplyDeleteFlynet is part of the story.
What I find interesting is they get papped in places that are never regular places to get papped.
ReplyDeleteFlynet paparazzi are everywhere :)
It's just another prearranged photo opportunity.
I love how you all put this on Reese, Jake is a grown man. No one is putting a gun to his head.
ReplyDeleteYou must not think much of Jake if you would thik he would lower himself to bring her kids into it or her for that matter.
They could easily beard by just showing up at a few events or a resturaunt and be done with it,but this doesn't seem to be the case here. He seems to be spending an awful amount of time with her kids, and as far as Deacon is concerned, he looks cranky like he does most of the time. You have no idea the state of mind of her kids and why would thye be unhappy hanging with Jake and their mom???
I bet we hear that they attended midnight mass on New Years Eve next.
^
ReplyDeleteYawn at 2:00. Like you know anything about human relations, Jack troll.
24 minutes ....
ReplyDeleteThat took long.
Well, the fan girls are going ape shit over the latest pics of the foursome. Funny how we see things so differently. They see love. I see grim faces on all; noone looks happy in these pics. The outfit Reese is wearing is not very flattering and jake wore the same shirt yesterday.
ReplyDeleteA Red Sox hat on Reese.
ReplyDeleteNow, they are going for the jugular with that! lol ;)
I don't care about Reese and her kids. Based on those pictures, Jake is not amused.
ReplyDeleteThey all look miserable. When the littlest one looks miserable (and quite frankly, more than a little unsure) you know it's not good. This just gets easier and easier to dissect.
ReplyDeleteThe way I see it: a pre-arranged picture of familial bliss on the last day of the year. Not quite achieved on the bliss front, but no one's examining these closely, right? At least they will have been able to spend their respective New Year's nights doing what they really wanted - and with whom.
Bltb, you're so right about post-nuclear Jake - since late October, he's only had relations with Reese and Flynet. Astonishing!
ReplyDeleteEven JLo knew better than to wear a Sox hat and she was actually dating Ben.
ReplyDeleteWhy Jake? There are several out gay heros, out there. Harvey Milk, was the first out gay politican, he was assinated. What so special about Jake? Gays are still not allowed to marry or adopt in several states. For everyday gays, he's not going to change their lives.
ReplyDeleteThis might warrant a special post, Special. I would feel the same.
ReplyDelete"Flynet: The Official Pappers Of The Jeese Fauxmance."
ReplyDeleteWhen you want to fly the pap skies, fly with Flynet Call us for information on our fauxmance packages. Random romantic moments with food and coffee, HOLIDAYS!, ideas on how to get any existing kids involved. Your trust and satisfaction is assured.
The LA Park pics are a total setup. Look in the bottom Flynet picture, you can SEE the photographer with the camera (and that's no tiny amatuer camera phone) to his eye in the reflection of the car, on the right, and another person (or a few) standing watching on the left. And how did the photog HAPPEN to get such a high vantage point in that pic? Does just anyone carry a ladder with them like the pap pros do?
ReplyDeleteSad, very sad.
I think J/R are friends, but I suspect Greasy Reecy has more on her mind and agenda. I think Jake is being taken for a ride, lets hope he becomes more aware of Greasy Reecy has up her sleeve, personal and professionally. I trust Jake's emotions, I don't trust Greasy Reesy at all. Nada.
ReplyDeleteIts too bad Jake tends to see the good in people all the time, he needs to wake up to the evil that exists in this world, especially the destructive evil hidden in so-called "friends" that speak out of both sides of their mouths right in front of his face.
Ya know, I'm not gonna look at the new Reeke pics, not giving flynet my hit, not gonna contribute in anyway that could show approval or interest in this sham.
ReplyDeleteJake has had ample time and chances to end this, walk away, or at least put the distance of no appearances between him and the lie. He made a conscious decision to start and he chooses to continue, to continue to pimp himself to the fantasizing fangirls and hausfrauen, continue to sell out not only his self-respect but his craft for believing that it can ONLY be considered fulfilling if it comes with stardom.
Not that one lone voice from a fanbase played and used for your advancement means shit right about now, but, Jake, even if you never came out, living a life of ambiguity, I would have followed you into the very fires of Mordor. But, not now. Now I know you've sold your soul for fame.
Hands washed, I bid farewell.
(Sorry for the LOTR reference there)
Don't give up! You can see that nobody is happy, and what's more, nobody seems comfortable in these pics. I think we are starting to see a trend here that this charade is on the way out. But they will serve their purpose for those who, as some of you have said above, don't care to examine them closely, and will take them at face value.
ReplyDelete^^Sorry, that was my comment above. ;)
ReplyDeletePost-nuclear Jake, which includes the "perfect" 50s nuclear family, really sums it all up. While up to now I haven't been too bothered by the few times they've included the kids, I find the new pictures disturbing. The kids look so miserable, and I can only imagine what effect all of this is having on them. A few times out with mom's "friend" is one thing, to be subjected to this on a regular basis I would think would be troubling for kids of that age.
ReplyDeleteLOL rattler, and thanks for the reminder there is more than Reeke.
I love the music idea Wicked and Special, I'm going to rack my brains for ideas that haven't already been mentioned.
Happy New Year to all my friends at OMG!
ReplyDeleteI wish you love, whether through a partner, family, friends (in flesh or virtual) or pets (why not?); health, and if you suffer from any condition, that it does not prevent you to enjoy life; and prosperity, whether through a well-provisioned bank account or the simple acknowledgement of some basic material benefits so many human beings are still deprived: a roof over one's head, regular meals, being shielded from the atrocities of war, being able to afford a computer and an online connection, preferably not of the dial-up kind (hi Destiny!) to post at OMG and so on.
Warm grateful hugs to (((Special))) and (((Wicked))) who have given us this wonderful blog that's entering 2008 as a thriving community.
My suggestion for January: Tom Robinson of the "Power in the Darkness" fame.
And now I'm signing off. Apparently I've hugged and kissed somebody with a dubious bill of health and have caught a bad cold that's threatening to turn into a nasty bronchitis. But the hell with that! It was worth it! :D
"He seems to be spending an awful amount of time with her kids, and as far as Deacon is concerned"
ReplyDelete"You can see that nobody is happy, and what's more, nobody seems comfortable in these pics. I think we are starting to see a trend here that this charade is on the way out. "
You don't see Jake publicly with too many other people, do you? Other friends, family in LA or elsewhere have vanished from his public life. I'd be unhappy too if my public life had been reduced to one overbearing person and her annoying children.
The Munch painting comes to mind, but put a beard on the guy.
Like I said before, the guy needs friends. At least Reese is available and cooperative. It's better than nothing.
Corpus, I can understand what you're saying until your last paragraph, but then I lose you. Isn't this Jake's choice?
ReplyDeleteThe Munch painting comes to mind, but put a beard on the guy.
ReplyDeleteLOL Corpus!
The Mrs. and I went to see I Am Legend at the Union Station movie theater. Movie should have started at 2:15. They finally started previews, after repeated complaining from patrons, at 2:35. Okay for a while and then previews became completely unfocused. People threatened to walk out and finally a manager was found who could fix it. The movie was good right up until the point where the theater staff came in and said everyone had to evacuate because Union Station was on fire! Mrs. and I had to spend half and hour walking around the building in the cold until we are allowed to get into the parking area and get our car. Thankfully, it appears to have been a small fire and no one was hurt. Now I see the pics of Jeese and kids. Judging from the look on Jake's face, I had the better New Year!
ReplyDeleteThank God everything is ok Wicked.
ReplyDeleteWell they sure do look miserable all four of them. Are they miserable because they are being papped or miserable because they have to be there? How could you make a little kid look that miserable?
Flynet is def all over these two. I ask myself why. Can Flynet be making that much money by getting these photos. Doesn't seem like jeese are Brad and Angelina. They certainly dont have that much appeal. Flynet is being paid by someone to get these pics.
But maybe we are all off base we have to ask ourselves that question at least I do. Who would believe two people would go this far to portray a fake romance.
There certainly is no PDA when the kids are around. I am so confused and so down. I will never accept that Jake is not gay. NEVER. But what the hell do we say when we these these two still together come 2009 NYs Day. I just dont know what to think.
Tom, c'mon, let's cross that bridge when we come to it. The woodland walk leaves me less convinced, not more. There was no PDA or kids in the other pics.
ReplyDeleteI don't think they will be. They will be together until Ryan and Abbie are married though she isn't going to single for that announcement.
ReplyDeleteThey will be together until Ryan and Abbie are married though she isn't going to single for that announcement.
ReplyDeleteYou think that announcement's coming soon, TR? It does seem likely.
The matching hats reminded me of the matching black outfits at the airport. Trying too hard.
Once again, it that park a normal celebrity hang-out? Is it someplace that flynet would have been lying in wait for just anybody who happened by? Or perhaps flynet is stalking Jake and Reese, camping outside their homes and following them, cameras at the ready?
ReplyDeleteOf course, the other explaination is that flynet was given a heads up as to the family of the year's trip to the park, and were there waiting for the performance to begin.
I don't know, 'cause I haven't looked at the pics. This may sound maudlin and full of drama queen histrionics, but I can't...I just can't.
ONTD picked up the Jeese and kids pics. I wonder if any of the bigger gossip blogs will?
ReplyDeleteThen we should see this pic everywhere. It's the perfect pic of Jeese and kids. Some people said the reason the last Jeese and kids pics didn't get so much attention was because Jake was blocking Ava in the pic. Not so here. You can see Jeese and family in all their glory. If anybody cares. We'll see.
ReplyDeleteI'm finding the matching baseball caps just a little too much. The 'cuteness' factor is just becoming sickly. Its the absolute antithesis of sex appeal.
ReplyDeleteONTD picked up the Jeese and kids pics.
ReplyDeleteI think that Reese fan(s?) is posting all Reeke news on ONTD.
Again, he is like a magnificent peacock to her pale peahen. Love the plaid lumberjack shirt and baseball cap on him. On her, the cap looks too large for her. Matching hats is just too cutesy, and Jake looks annoyed, as usual. He looks hunky, and she looks lost in a hat that's too large for her.
ReplyDeleteOr perhaps flynet is stalking Jake and Reese, camping outside their homes and following them, cameras at the ready?
ReplyDeleteIf they really were stalking them there would be more pictures and I don't mean necessarily just of Reeke.
There would be pictures of both of them out and about by themselves and more importantly there would be pictures of Jake with those other people PR appearantly wants us to believe he doesn't need anymore, some might also call them his friends.
The paps never had any problem getting pics of him with various friends out and about before he and Reese started "dating", so they certainly would get them if those pictures were really just the paps getting lucky and not the photo-ops they obviously are.
I don't trust Reese one bit. I think she's the one calling Flynet (or rather, having the assistant or nanny do it). All of this, whether its fauxmance or friends, makes her look good - agreeable, desirable, Jake only spends time with her and no one else. And either way, Jake looks bad - because he needs a beard that bad, or because he's that big of a wussy that he needs to be with someone with such a dominating bossy personality, so much that none of his friends, family or even his dog wants to be around her in public.
ReplyDeleteThese theatrics are more in the best interests of the Reese image than anyone else. Either way, she'll be the "love of his life" or the "supportive friend." She'll come off smelling like a rose, Jake will be the poop that helped it bloom.
TR, do you really think Abbie and Ryan are going to get married? And that these recent Jeese/kids photos are to show up Ryan for having the audacity to parade his gf with his daughter (in a very cute, sweet shot)?
ReplyDeleteI find Jeese so boring beyond belief.
Oops--that was me.
ReplyDeleteI thought the pics with Abby were really cute, too, and natural looking - with Ava peeking through the wreath, and wearing it around her neck! And I was surprised that I did, because Abby is the "other woman", so I should not like it on principle! lol But the pictures showed natural child fun at the holidays, not somethng forced, like these Jeese pics appear to be. Where's the fun, silliness and sexiness????
ReplyDeleteSurely if you knew (and were seriously concerned) about stalking paps you would plan to spend the holiday break away from LA, go somewhere secluded and private, or just hang out at home.
ReplyDeleteWhatever is really going on it makes jake look like twerp. If its a fauxmance he's stupid to have got into it in the first place and to continue so long, if its real, he's just got really, really awful taste in women.
Do you think that Jake, appreciates any of this. Or are you spitting against the wind. HAs any one written a fan letter to Jake? Would you bother Jake if you saw him eating or drinking? What if he was with Reese? Would you heckle them?
ReplyDeleteWhatever is really going on it makes jake look like twerp. If its a fauxmance he's stupid to have got into it in the first place and to continue so long, if its real, he's just got really, really awful taste in women."
ReplyDeleteI agree on all counts.
As for bad taste in women, well he did have that long relationship with Kirsten "I'm a Walking Mess" Dunst.
a) don't know, maybe
ReplyDeleteb) it's either real or it isn't, nothing to do with us
c) i'm guessing not
d) no
e) no
No, on all counts. But we certainly are entitled to have an opinion. Doesn't make us wrong or right. If this is true, the truth will show itself eventually, there's no need to come here to show us the so-called error of our ways. If I'm wrong, I'll be the first to admit it.
ReplyDeleteHell yeah, dede I would if I saw them on the street. I would ask/yell "Do you guys know what the hell everyone online says about you two freaks?" I'd give it to 'em where it hurts. No regrets.
ReplyDeleteWhen was the last time we saw Jake smile? I mean, really smile, the 10 mile wide variety, the kind that lights up his whole face, his eyes crinkling, his cheeks rounded up, his body tingling with the emotion of happiness. When was the last time Jake was photographed with that kind of smile on his face?
ReplyDeletedede, I'd probably shout 'Jake, you're saddling yourself with a controlling, unpleasant, ageing badly midget. If you're straight at least get yourself a decent looking, sexy girlfriend'.
ReplyDeleteI'd then obviously feel really bad for about 5 minutes, but would then get over it.
Oh yeah, and that San Francisco pic, on the pier walking with the kids? I think one of the nannies took it. Convenient, huh, since no one else around cared to take any pics -- have the nanny do it.
ReplyDelete6:48.. borders bookshop?
ReplyDeletesjaf, I love you. :)
ReplyDeleteI really am laughing out loud...
Why is the showmance continuing?
ReplyDeleteWell, it started in earnest in mid Oct with the Rome pics. Can't have it go kaput in 2 1/2 months right? I mean proposing to Reese on his knees and all that!
I also find it interesting that when Ent Lawyer (??) posted a BI about a Blist actor in the closet who spent a lot of time on his knees, the majority went "Jake!"
General Witherspoon and Private Gyllenhall's campaign must not be very effective....
Even tho most agreed later on that Ent's BI 'on his knees' quote was from a movie, it was surreal how many peeps guessed Jake! at the beginning...
ReplyDeleteThe best part of waking up. A pap call? I think Jake is pissed about somethin in this latest video. Maybe he and Austin got ..ahem..interupted while adding their own cream and sugar! A just cause for the obvious anger? this show is starting to leave a bitter taste in Jake's mouth. Somebody's gonna get dumped down the sink real soon. Just a feeling.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to everyone here at OMG. Thanks for this great blog and keep up the good work!
I couldn't see it, but did Reeke have the diamond ring on her right hand in the Monday Park pics?
ReplyDeleteGawd, i hope they really aren't engaged. If he wants to marry her, Jake must really be a desperate needy wormy twerp (I love that word). If it true, maybe Austin or anyone else is better off without having such a pathetic doormat hanger-on. Pretty or not.
Ryan and Abbie will be married soon. If they're not already. There are things to consider with the movie coming out (doubtful that they will promote it as a married couple).
ReplyDeleteI just typed a book and deleted it. What I can say is that they are together and the kids are very much a part of their relationship. They stay outside of LA when they do things together and they just are not as recognizable and famous as Jake and Reese so they can fly under the radar a little better. They also try harder to stay on the DL. Like when they were in the airport you only saw Ryan and the kids. Abbie slipped out unnoticed.
Glad to have introduced the term 'twerp' into the OMG lexicography, it really does sum up anyone who wears matching hats when out with their 'girlfriend'.
ReplyDeleteThey were apparently 'making out' at a rufus Wainwright and Belinda Carlisle concert on new year's eve. Unfortunately this now does look like its 'real' and that Jake is the twit we all hoped he wasn't.
ReplyDeleteAbbie was at the airport with Ryan and the kids? Really? Wow. I remember Ryan really seemed to be protecting (or trying to protect) his kids from the photographers.
ReplyDeleteDo Ryan and Abbie live together?
Twerp is good. So, is shmuck, putz, shmendrek, meshugine, schlemiel,schnook,and feygele.
ReplyDeleteOh, and Jake's also bashert, but not for Reese.
BASHERT means destiny in yiddish
ReplyDelete^^ :)
ReplyDeletedisappointed but realistic said...
ReplyDeleteThey were apparently 'making out' at a rufus Wainwright and Belinda Carlisle concert on new year's eve. Unfortunately this now does look like its 'real' and that Jake is the twit we all hoped he wasn't.
Need more info on this. I just did a lot of checking and I cannot find anywhere that Rufus was sched to be in a concert anywhere in the LA area on Dec 31 2008. So if you want us to believe this we will need more detail.
Where is it that the twerp, I mean Jake and the domineer, I mean Reese, were 'making out' at a Rufus/belinda carlisle concert NYnight? Any pics? Not that we would believe them.
ReplyDeleteNot to bring it up to analyze again, but I keep thinking about that one 'kissing' pic at the SFran restuarant, taken outside the window. Jake's hand is around her face, but if you do the physical logistics, their mouths arent anywhere near each others, like 3 to 4 inches off. So I always wondered if his hand was around her face because he was hiding that they werent really kissing. Just a thought, did anyone else notice?
Tom, do you mean Dec 31, 2007?
ReplyDeleteListen I'm as repulsed as the rest of you, here's the blog entry, it may be a pile of crap, who knows.
ReplyDeletehttp://romicortierdesign.com/blog/?p=15
I noticed that too, B again.
ReplyDeleteYes, Rufus was in LA at the Walt Disney Concert Hall 12/31/07.
ReplyDeleteWhats strange is why Jake would want/need to see Rufus in concert so many times, isnt this at least #3 or #4???? Takin his gf to see gay Rufus doing his Judy Garland impression? LOL
Damn no wonder Jake was pissed in the LA Park pics, he knew the day wasnt over.
As disheartening as it may seem, do not let it the tone for 2008.
ReplyDeleteChins up! This two will pass. Just looking at the recent picture you can despite their efforts the subconscious is speaking loud and clear.
My concern is more for the aftermath of Jeese, and not just for Jake, but for the kids. I think they think of him a nice friend of Mommy's, but when this is over it will be even harder on them. Reese will teflon up and move on.
Keep looking ahead. When we didn't think much happened in 2007, but looking back a lot of good Jaustin things did happen. So it shall be for 2008.
Even worse, it would appear to have been primarily a Belinda Carlisle concert.. can't say he's not suffering for his place on the a-list.
ReplyDelete^^oops too!
ReplyDeleteDon't you just think it's amazing how the person writing that blog entry was able to get such a detailed look at Reese's hair color in a concert hall?
ReplyDeleteBecause as we all know that's exactly the place you would go if you wanted to find a natural kind of light.
You all are too funny....thanks for the entertainment. I can't stop laughing! Very funny bloggers!!!
ReplyDeleteOh for the days of Death Cab for Cutie with limping Austin.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope he comes to his senses soon, we miss the old Jake.
"Belinda Carlisle concert.. can't say he's not suffering for his place on the a-list."
ReplyDeleteWho the hell is BC? Some practically unknown girl group singer from the early 80's? No offense, but that concert doesn't sound A-List to me! Twerpy Jake is going white-bread.
Sorry dissappointed. I couldn't find Rufus listed in concert anywhere last night. I was wrong. Yep I dissappointed beyond belief.
ReplyDeleteHold your head high guys. I love you all.
ReplyDeleteI have to say that the Red Sox hat is just another one of those things that they fucked up.
ReplyDeleteApart from having drawn the wrath of Special, that is ;)
Remember Lakers 2? When Austin wore Jakes hat and every fg was so quick to tell us it means nothing?
Well, PR just admitted that it did mean something, why else would they have Reese wear one of Jakes hats to prove that it's love?
Apart from the cutesy factor, of course.
Okay, I just read the blog about the color of reese's hair, I mean BC/Rufus the concert.
ReplyDeleteIf I saw a famous couple:
To me, MAKEOUT SESSION means tongue action, hot and heavy. 'Makeout session' with the delicate little quote marks means what, like two quick kisses on the lips, a peck on the cheek?
How would it be if the rest of you saw action, how would you describe a makeout session in a blog if you were writing about it?
Oh for the days of Death Cab for Cutie with limping Austin.
ReplyDeleteBecause as we all know that's exactly the place you would go if you wanted to find a natural kind of light.
LOL love this, yes, I agree with Spesh, let's not let this color the beginnings of 2008 for us. I still think it's the beginning of the end.
I was wondering what Borders Bookstore pictures you all have seen? The ones from IHJ, or are there others?
ReplyDeleteCooper, there are more.
ReplyDeleteIHJ just "happened" to not include most of those in which Jake and Austin looke even more like a couple out on a date.
Thanks, Stubborn tb. Do you know where can I find them?
ReplyDeleteDee, MAKEOUT SESSION, to me, is the step before GET A ROOM - lots of deep kissing, tongue action, kissing necks, etc. Why go to a concert then?
ReplyDeleteSomeone asked when was the last time we saw J's smile so big his eyes crinkled? Professionally, I think it was one of the film festivals, personally? The Borders pics
I suppose it was inevitable really that Jeese would spend NYE together, seeing as they weren't together for Thanksgiving, Jake's b'day or Christmas. Why am I not surprised it had to be somewhere public? I guess there was no Gyllenhaal family get-together for NYE this year. Or maybe Jake didn't feel like attending one with Reese, after taking a "friend" last year
ReplyDeleteCooper, the pics were all taken offline for some reason, I still have them saved though. There are quite a few of Jake coming out of Borders alone looking gloomy, do you want them, too, or just the ones wirh Jake and Austin?
ReplyDeleteOt: Ent Lawyer is revealing a lot of blind items today. They're VERY interesting.
ReplyDeleteIt's amusing the amount of ad hoc blogs that keep cropping up, don't you think? Usually a sighting, but never any comments fore or aft, (or very few) soon to disappear into the blogosphere. :)
ReplyDeleteThe sighting starts with:
ReplyDeleteIt looks like this relationship is for real, and not a fabrication of the Hollywood publicity machine
Like almost any of those never proven sightings it seems like the person reporting it is more concerned about proving people wrong than the actual sighting itself.
That coupled with the fact that Jake and Reese were appearantly perfectly able to enter and leave a concert hall without being photographed, when we're supposed to believe that they weren't able to have coffee in Santa Monica or go for a walk in a remote park, makes this whole thing so very unbelievable.
"She'll come off smelling like a rose, Jake will be the poop that helped it bloom."
ReplyDeleteI like this better than Reeke!
"Corpus, I can understand what you're saying until your last paragraph, but then I lose you. Isn't this Jake's choice?"
It's a joint decision, but she has the power. He just has the time and desperate need to change the direction of his career. He doesn't have a life anymore. She isn't pulling him away from anything. His public life is empty. She's available to fill in the gaps.
Another humble observation from myself: wouldn't you think the blogger who noticed every nuance about Reese's hair color in the concert hall would have also noticed if she was wearing a diamond ring? On any hand?
ReplyDeleteIt looks like this relationship is for real, and not a fabrication of the Hollywood publicity machine. The tender touches the two shared between ‘make out’ sessions at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, while watching Belinda Carlisle and Rufus Wainright ring in the New Year, were refreshing to see. My birds eye view gave me a great perspective on Reese’s haircolor. Her natural color appears to be a light ash blonde, with subtle highlights of pale blonde woven through it. I’m not sure who Reese’s colorist is, but I have no complaints on either her color or cut. In fact, photos of her are frequently brought in by clients hoping for her highlights or bangs. The only challenge in achieving her color is that few women actually have a natural base color as light as hers. Most women who were blondes as children, get so dark as the years progress that they’re no longer blondes, but rather brunettes. My solution for this dilemma is to alternate a warm golden blonde next to a pale ash blonde, which diffuses the stark contrast that can happen when placing pale blondes on brunette hair. Back to Jake and Reese….she seems very happy with him, I hope 2008 is kind to both of them.
ReplyDeleteThe entire Jeese NY eve sighting. The reason the sighter wrote so much about Reese's hair color is because Romi Cortier is one of the top hair stylists in the country, at least according to the website.
Hmmm. Curious to see if Romi does Reese's hair.
ReplyDeleteI’m not sure who Reese’s colorist is
ReplyDeleteIt seems Romi doesn't do Reese's hair.
Maybe Romi specializes in straightening.
ReplyDeleteAn expert in assisiting with Lowlights and Bearding, oops Braiding.
ReplyDeleteThe last time we saw that smile of Jake's was in those restaurant pictures that also had Orlando Bloom. It was while he was on the phone, and yes, I know it is pure speculation, but I think he was smiling like that because he was talking to Austin.
ReplyDeleteI hate to say it, but Jake does look pretty twerpy these days, Reeke really does suck everything out of him that made him interesting and sexy.
I read the Ent. Lawyer's latest, and it is interesting, particularly the one about Hayden. I wonder why he decided that it was now okay to openly mention his bf?
I think this sighting is credible. The only thing I find a bit odd about it is the way the sighter used it as an over-the-top advertisement for her own salon. The whole "If you want to look like Reese Witherspoon let me tell you what I could do for you!" kinda thing. But I could see a top tier LA hairstylist seeing Jeese at the concert and using it as an opportunity to pimp out her salon.
ReplyDeleteWell, if they really were making out at a Rufus concert, I expect to see lots of blog entries show up over the next 2 days as there would have been tons of witnesess. I am distressed that Jake was seen at all, and so not with Austin on New Years eve. It's hard to keep the faith and must confess I find my love for Jake waning. But I am not ready to give up just yet. I just need another J & A sighting to keep me patient.
ReplyDeleteOT: Eddie Murphy got married to Tracey Edmonds and Johnny Gill, Eddie's "very good" friend, was best man. BTW, Eddie cheated on his wife Nicole with Johnny who he moved into his garage the last few years of his marriage! And now Johnny is best man for Eddie's latest marriage.
ReplyDeleteGo figure.
Well, I'm keeping the faith. All the nu-blog sightings start with a mention that the relationship is real; as if every random blogger would somehow know the political ramifications :D Rose-coloured specs intact for now.
ReplyDeleteCrimpers above, funny :)
Ent Lawyer will have to wait until later ...
PS, which is not to say I think this is doing Jake any good at all :( But I have always felt it wasn't really "about him". I wonder if he sees it that way now? Who knows, in the distant days of October this might have seemed like a good idea.
ReplyDeleteSpooky2th posted a new Austin picture:
ReplyDeletehttp://spooky2th.livejournal.com/
Happy new year everyone.
ReplyDeleteI'm not even going to bother to look at the pictures. I think people take what they want from them on both sides of the fence.
And as in all things HW, the truth has very little to do with it.
I do find intriguing though the people he's been allowed to be seen with since Jeese took their love affair to the world.
1. A divorced A list saint with an Oscar who shouldn't have one
2. A drug addicted A list jailbird who should have several Oscars but doesn't
and the only official party he was allowed to be seen at was a former sweetheart of HW, now one with a bad reputation.
Saint, Sinner and Saint and Sinner?
Can they get a new theme for 2008? And what do all those Jake fangurls think now that even poor devoted Chris is considered too everyday to be seen.
I'm only managing to come on here every couple of days, so whenever I log on there's been another loop of the rollercoaster.
ReplyDeleteI totally vacillate on whether Jeeses are real or not, mainly cos I find it hard to believe Reese would involve her children in this charade.
But the tabloid version of their hot, fairy-tale romance are so at odds with the pictures we have of them. Particularly in SM with no kids around.
In my gut I think Jaustin were real, so I'm gonna go with that for now.
If this is a fauxmance then the only way Reese would have agreed to it is if there was minimal chance of anybody finding out about Jaustin. Jake and Austin have got to avoid been spotted/pictured together at all costs for this to work to everybody's benefit so I doubt we'll have much to go on for quite a while.
But I would really really like to know if Austin spent time in NY this Christmas :-)
