Lone Star State (of Mind)





Jake is known to wear his heart on his sleeve and his love on his chest. Ramona on SNL. Texas Longhorns in the Spring. Do they ring a bell?

Do you think this is a subtle hint to where his heart truly lies?


UPDATE: Check out Giusi's awesome videos at OMG Video View .

  1. So just one Toothy mention:

    Dear Ted:
    I'm going to take a stab at this and suggest Toothy Tile is Andy Dick.
    Cactus Flower

    Dear What the Dick:
    Double no. I did say that our boy Toothy was somethin' of a cutie, right?

  2. One quick message before attending to more RL obligations.

    Special, your previous post was very beautiful and reflects what I experienced since joining Jake and Austin's fandom. This is probably why I feel pretty philosophical about whatever life has in store for them. They might be no more one day but I'm sure some of us will find a way to still hang around and have fun together.

    And now for something completely different... ;)

    Can I say this pic shows Jake in one of his - if not HIS - sexiest style IMO. This reminds me a of a photo session he did back in 2005 (can't remember the mag; scarf, sort of urban style, very teasing look - no time to do any research sorry) and also the look he sports in Tom's favorite pic, you know the one with the horse... I'm not talking about clothes here (although those he wore in that mag I'm thinking about were pretty cool) but the haircut, slightly scruffy look. Ahhhhhh.... :D

    Do you mean a big STAH? Sort of like how Reese is a bigger Stah than he is??? ;-)

  4. Lone Star -- Texas is known as the Lone Star State!

    Hmm I wonder who is from there?

    ReplyDelete
  5. I think George Bush is, isnt' he? ;)

    ReplyDelete
  6. Well you can put Matt and Lance in there too.

    But I think there is only one Texan he has on his mind. Or is that place, or is it someone who has the same name as the place in TX he's from?

  7. Another Toothy letter:

    From Ted's Letter of the Week E-Mail:
    Dear Ted:
    This is killing me that I care so much who Toothy Tile is—I'm a married hetero woman! Please, oh please, Ted, I'm begging you—along with so many other devout readers of your column—to spill the beans! How about you name a movie he was in?

    Aren't you familiar with Boy Bum Voyage?

  8. This video tribute to Jake's smile had me smiling like a lovestruck idiot all the way through. Lovely, and great music.

    Smiling Jake

  9. Thanks 11:36.

    Can we call you Smiley?

    ReplyDelete
  10. BBV = BBM.

    Obviously.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Oh man he is really in love with Jessica Simpson.

    I'm just kidding.

    Although he does seem to have an obsession with all things Texan.
    Hmmm.

    Also,

    'Dear What the Dick:'
    'Aren't you familiar with Boy Bum Voyage?'

    Ted, I'm so sorry I hassled you last week. You still rock my world.

  12. An obsession with all things Texan, ag? You know the JIS group will say that's cos of Mance LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  13. McBongo is a perfectly straight man who is about to marry the love of his life. Why, he's even prepared to forgo being People's number one bachelor for the next twenty years cause he is in luuuurrrvvveeee.

    Lance is a perfectly straight man who just likes to help other men get fit and healthy.

    Aaah the summer of Mance. I never honestly thought I would want a repeat of that but damn if it ain't cutting real close to being the lesser evil.

    I want the summer of Jaustin. Hell, I'll just take a picture at this point.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Is it just the white form-fitting shirt, or is Jake bulking up, maybe to quarterback proportions? And I love the hair and scruff, a much better look than some of the others we've seen recently.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I think there are a lot of people who want a picture of them.(Some of them not for the same reason as we do)

    Maybe the are being camera shy because of that.

    Or maybe they are camera shy for another reason. ; )

    ReplyDelete
  16. Sorry this is a late post, but I was just catching up. and read about Wicked. I am so sorry to see her leave, from the first time I came here she has been the poster I was able to relate to. If you are out there wicked I will miss you. Tom I will always be around, and will always be a TB.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Wouldn't it be great if we had a regular Smiley poster? We already have a great Joker (hello dear!) so that would fit perfectly. :)

    ReplyDelete
  18. Special, I don't know what you did but OMG finally appear when I google the name. :)

    ReplyDelete
  19. Yes! It worked. Yeah!!!

    Thanks Frenchy for letting me know.

    I am trying to find my way around this crazy world of blogs. I am getting there, just one foot in front of the other.

    Big Thanks! to my blog sherpa who emailed me with the how/where to's for getting it on Google.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Yup, Frenchy is right!
    Kudos to Special K. Attagirl.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Hey, thanks for the new DC and WDW links Special!

    Rattler will you be able to attend the TFF?

    ReplyDelete
  22. Yes, Frenchy, I will attend the TIFF. Now, now, don't be jealous :P

    ReplyDelete
  23. I was just teasing frenchy, special. I am not sure whether she will attend TIFF too.
    And stubborn: we all miss you. Drop in a line or two sometimes.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Ughh. Something weird happened. The above comment is from me.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Behold, Special K! This is none but me, the Rattler!! :) :)
    And now I am teasing you.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Great rattler! Now promise you will post your reviews over here, particularly if you catch Rendition.

    ReplyDelete
  27. BTW, I went to the chat room twice earlier but nobody was there. :(

    I'll try to go back later. :)

    Well I've already used up my stock of parentheses. Bye for now!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Frenchy - definitely come by later, the chat is usually lively at night.

    And Rattler, you are being quite the cheeky monkey.

    ReplyDelete
  29. lone star and jakey?
    cheeky cheeky monkey
    very very likey.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Yes, I promise, if I manage to watch Rendition, I will write a review for OMG. Hmmm... but what do I get in return?

    ReplyDelete
  31. Gold Stars and Hoodsie Cups (little ice cream cups) ?

    ReplyDelete
  32. Well, since you asked so nicely, Rattler, I thought I might post a comment.
    It seems like we always miss each other on the chat. Same with frenchy.
    Maybe we’ll manage to catch each other this weekend.

    Oh, and don’t think I forgot you promised us pictures from TFF, Rattler! You could give Special another exclusive for the blog, just like the Chillmark race one.
    Or we could just be mean and keep them to ourselves and show nobody else ;)

    ReplyDelete
  33. Oh, and really I wanted to write TIFF.
    No idea what TFF even is and I think I would probably prefer pictures from the TIFF anyway.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Whoa! It is so nice to have you back, Stubborn. It feels really really good. I know we always miss other at OMG chat, mostly due to RL obligations. I hate to make comparisons, but it is very difficult to keep in touch at WFT because we have to wade through tons of useless comments. In contrast, OMG is turning out to be such a nice place to speak to each other - thanks and kudos to Special and Wicked. And OMG is all about friendship and community building, right? Let me see what I can do for OMG with TIFF (I think Frenchy meant TIFF, when she wrote TFF). Everybody have a nice day!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Looking forward to your TIFF special feature, rattler!

    ReplyDelete
  36. I think Frenchy meant TIFF, when she wrote TFF.

    Of course that’s what I meant! :) But come to think of it, TIFF sounds a bit weird, no? ;) ;)

    It’s really nice to see you around Stubby. I missed you too and I hope you’ll keep hanging around the board (and the CR of course!).

    Scylla since Rendition is supposed to be in Canadian theaters in October (or is it November?), you Londoners will probably be lucky if you get to see it in 2009!!! Just kidding but still trying to figure out why you have to wait so long. :(

    Right now I’m waiting too as I refuse to buy the minimal version of Zodiac that we currently find in stores.

    Ok, back to work now. See you later everybody!

    ReplyDelete
  37. I thought Rendition comes out October 19th in the UK?

    ReplyDelete
  38. Hopefully you're right and I'm wrong tbs! :)

    Europeans had to wait so long for Zodiac!

    ReplyDelete
  39. I think it is possible that Rendition will be delayed in the UK until the end of October so that it can have the premiere at the London Film Festival.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Yoohoo special! What have you done dear? OMG has stopped showing up when I google it.

    tbs in London I sure hope that's the only delay you'll get. It's always fun to discuss a movie with both American and European POVs.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Thanks for that info, another tb in London! (lurker tb?)

    ReplyDelete
  42. I have no idea Frenchy!

    I have to try and figure this all out.

    Does anyone have any suggestions or hints? I will take any I can to get OMG back on Google.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Ok dinner time.

    I have a question for whoever is lurking here. I just noticed that Rachel Griffith (Brenda extraordinaire in "Six Feet Under") is in the cast of Brothers & Sisters. Now I'm not a big TV watcher but I regularly hear that this series is great and one look at the story tells me that I'll probably like/love it.

    It will be available on DVD in September over here. If you've watched it can you tell me what you think?

    ReplyDelete
  44. I love your music selection Special. I especially love Rufus and Release the Stars.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Thanks Destiny. I love the song and it went so well with Jake's shirt. ; )

    Seriously the sentiment of the song fits so well.

    Like anything here at OMG, it is about what you like. So if you have song suggestions, things you want to talk about, or any ideas, please send them. This is a place for everyone to come together and have a good time.

    I hope that everyone checks out Giusi's videos. They are awesome. Thanks again Giusi for letting us link them.

    ReplyDelete
  46. There's another photo of Jake in his Lone Star shirt on E! Online.

    Could it be that someone else is there with him (and I don't mean Reese) who's a little thirsty, too?

    ReplyDelete
  47. Thanks for link stubborn!

    God how I love this look!

    ReplyDelete
  48. "Could it be that someone else is there with him (and I don't mean Reese) who's a little thirsty, too?"

    And someone who loves snacking too! ; )

    Thanks Stubborn for the link!

    One thing to notice, same photo agency. So there is not a throng of paparazzi following him. There wouldn't be. Now there will be plenty of cameras on The Rock now, because the Clinton's are doing their annual vacation to the Vineyard.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Jake is friend with the Clintons. Do you think he'll hand around with them?

    ReplyDelete
  50. I also think it's interesting that INFPhoto appearantly doesn't have the set up (Stephanie from IHJ said she can't add the photos to the gallery yet because of that and she found it a little strange) and yet these single photos do show up on commercial websites.

    Just makes me think PR wanted us to know Jake is in MV, too, and the paparazzi didn't just get lucky.

    ReplyDelete
  51. The Clinton's, a real possibility Frenchy. And of course Hillary needs those Ohio votes, if John is really from Cincinnati. : )

    And maybe we know why there is a reason people said Jake didn't looking to thrilled in the picture we have posted when you compare the one of him on E!

    He spotted the camera when he got to the car door.

    ReplyDelete
  52. I think you're right about spotting the camera, and I really do wonder who is in the car. I know it is pure speculation, but if it had been someone like Chris wouldn't he have gone in the store too? There was a story in the NYT last Sunday about what a happening place is MV in terms of fund raisers for candidates with all the celebs, etc. who are vacationing there, maybe some pap decided to check it out. I doubt this one was pr driven, and I wonder if they got photos of whoever is in the car and are trying to shop them around.

    ReplyDelete
  53. ...and I wonder if they got photos of whoever is in the car and are trying to shop them around.

    I love this. Things seem to be starting up again. One of the many good sides of autumn. :)

    ReplyDelete
  54. The whole full set of these photos are now on IHJ, they are dated Sunday, 8/19/07. I guess he looks pissed because MV was one of the few if not only place where he could hang out and not worry about the paps. And if he wasn't aware of the paps when he 1st entered the store than I would think that whoever was in the car (if there was anyone in the car) would have come out and caried their own water and snacks. Also these pics and the Reese pics makes me think it is PR and that their PR tipped off the paps, that would explain the not too pleased look.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Totally agree with you Destiny about Chris. It is his home.

    As I adjust these rose colored glasses.

    I don't know what to think about the paparazzi connection. MV is really quite tight about that. And seriously who stalks the Chilmark Market? There are better places to spot celebrities on MV.

    ReplyDelete
  56. 3:01

    Thanks again for the information about the photos over on IHJ.

    And don't be shy, grab a name for a post, an hour, or a day and try it on for size.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Or maybe it is some delusional pap trying to get that J&R money shot. The funny thing about all of this is that feeding the Jeese wolf probably means an increase in pap stalking, so maybe my first theory above is wrong, and the pap was in Chilmark looking to get pix of Jake. Even if he wasn't aware of the paps, if Austin was with him I would think they would be careful in public. Not that there is any evidence of that. I wouldn't want to be accused of wearing lavender glasses.

    ReplyDelete
  58. 2:48PM: If Chris and Jake were aware of the chatter that they created online with the Jake and his BF running a race on MV stuff that was posted on ONTD and then for some odd reason . The Gawker, then I would be a little leery of setting foot in public as well sorry to say. Jake and Chris have been vacationing there for years with their families and this is the 1st time something like that has happened (Not the speculation regarding them, online anyway) but the 1st time their privacy was invaded on MV and it wasn't by the paps this time, but just some local race coverage that some "fan" decided to have some fun with. I really feel bad for him, is there NO place he can go now??? And what the hell is INF/photo doing in MV? This pics of Jake and another set of Reese and her kids are now being posted, I bet they were finally sold after being shopped around.

    And a Ben & Jerry's ice cream bar?

    Drive and eat ice cream? Impressive. With flip flops? 8.7 degree of difficulty.

  62. Who do you mean Frenchy?

    Jake? or Austin?

    ReplyDelete
  63. Me too frenchy!

    While I agree and feel bad about Chris being getting caught up in all of this because of what ONTD posted, if you participate in a public event you have to be prepared to be photographed, especially Jake. And ONTD is to blame for that. As for Jake, if his sanctuary on MV has been invaded I think he has only himself to blame.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Well you standing on the starting line dead you might have a chance at being seen.

    I agree ONTD is to blame for the whole uproar about Chris. He doesn't deserve that just because he was running in a hometown race with his best friend.

    And it really does suck that the number of safe havens from photographers are quickly dwindling for Jake.

  67. He's definitely buying for two but it is more than likely Chris or even Reese.

    And I think Reese has brought the photographers along too.

    I wonder how the long time old timers on MV feel about all this.
    I mean really Jake and Reese could have vacationed elsewhere.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Why is Jake to blame for the paps on MV? He't not allowed to vacation with his family? Come on. That's rather unfair. Would you be saying that if it was Jake and Austin? Remember Jake was there most of the summer and wasn't papped at all. Until Reese showed up. It was probably the same photographer who took the pics of Reese for the Boston Globe who is on MV. The Globe probably sold them to INF.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Oooooh jeebers, Special.

    Didja happen to notice his Lone Star tee shirt is actually a State of California tee shirt?

    Nice shout out to the state of his birth! Hee.

  70. Someone above sort of hit the nail on the head regarding the paps and the Vineyard.

    There have been lots of politicians stumping for cash down there this summer; Howard Dean as recently as last week. And where the politicians go on the Vineyard the celebs are sure to follow.

    The paps care nothing about the politicians, but one of them has been savvy enough to figure out that most of the celeb money is in Chilmark. And since there is exactly ONE general store/convenience store in Chilmark, doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out if you park your ass outside said ONE general store long enough in Chilmark you'll see some celeb of note.

    This particular pap probably has a whole roll of film with various vacationing celebs going in and out of the Chilmark Store.

    Lucky for us, Jake made a visit.

    ReplyDelete
  71. What I need to believe in Jeese:

    A picture where Jake looks at her the same good enough to eat, the same let's get out of here NOW! expression that he exudes when around Austin.

    When Jake appears to be as happy and content in her presence, comfortable and safe, leaning in as if a physical connection was life's blood, as he does with Austin.

    When Jake beams at her with the same silly, head over ass, can't live without smile as he does with Austin.

    Then and only then will this TBer pack up and go home.

    Until then, it's all just smoke and mirrors, razzle and dazzle, lies and misinformation to fool what the HW PR machine thinks is an unsupecting and gullible public.

    ReplyDelete
  72. MV has always been sold as a place that doesn't allow paps.
    Either it does or it doesn't.

    Reese going to MV with her kids with no connection to Jake at all would result in no pictures.

    Reese going to MV with her kids at a time when she and Jake are shopping the are they/aren't they that has been going on for a ridiculous amount of time is going to result in pictures.

    Jake and Reese should be HW savvy enough to know this. If they are real and still together it 2 years time, it isn't going to be the story it is today so it wouldn't matter where they went in two years time.

    But Jake and Reese have brought this to themselves. Jake could have vacationed with his family as he had been and then snuck off somewhere else to see Reese for a couple of weeks.
    Easy.

    But then they've got a movie to promote, don't they.

    ReplyDelete
  73. I would say it is unfair to J&A because they are (presumably) doing everything they can to keep their relationship quiet. J&R are trying to get as much attention as is possible without actually being photographed together in any meaningful way, and by not giving the paps that picture there are going to be paps out there who think they can get that photo if they are just resourceful enough. Now maybe this is coming from R's camp, but Jake is going along with it. And there are probably a few paps who think J&R are real, particularly paps who may after politicians.

    I couldn't agree more! I see what you see.

    I don't care if people do accuse me wearing of rose colored glasses or not.

    The way he looks when he's with Austin tells me all I need to know.

    ReplyDelete
  77. I think Reese really wants attention. Not saying she or her people tipped the photografers, but it wouldn`t surprise me. To me, it`s a too big of a coincidense they were papped on M.V just a few days apart.
    Jake may have been a part of it(if it was for P.R), or not. He`s an actor. He may have spotted the photografs and thought:" oh, why not, i will pretend to be sorry", or he wasn`t acting at all(you know, some people drag their work all the way home, and much, much further). He might be a part of it, but, at least yet...not too active. I think he`s partly responsible for the "media-pairing of him &Reese", though.

    Oh that's not true at all. The paps have been visiting MV since there were celebs to pap.

    You're only noticing it now because of Jake.

    If you dig out back issues of The Boston Herald photo archives you'll see years and years worth of celebs being papped on the Vineyard.

  80. More Jakeness over on E!

    This time at "Answer Bitch"

    What do stars do with their pets when they're traveling around the world making movies? I know I couldn't be away from my dog for weeks and weeks!
    —Nancy, Newark, Delaware

    Jake Gyllenhaal and other A-listers have been seen dropping their dogs off at LA Dogworks, a place so high-end that dogs get little bunk beds and a TV and a live person sleeps with the pooches during overnight stays.

    With picture of old picture of Jake in NYC.

    Gee I think E! is missing Jake too.

    Jan, I can't help but nod to this as Jake is the first celeb I've been following like this in my entire life, LOL! I've learned tons of things about the wonderful world of gossip and gossipers since I became a member of JG's fandom.

    When I got the Internet in my home for the first time, some ten years ago or so, the first thing I did was to enter "Ralph Fiennes" in Alta Vista (older Net surfers will know about this glorious-but-now-extinct search engine). But even after many searches, there was no way I could find so much info as popped up when I first googled "Jake Gyllenhaal". And I'm sure this had nothing to do with one being a classically-trained thespian and the other an HW child. The times they are sure changing and Jake's star rose when online gossip was fully grown and had become part of everyday life.

    So yeah, I believe he and Reese knew damn well they would be papped while "on the Rock".

    The bright side of all this. Rendition is coming, Rendition is coming!!!
