The put together sharp dressed man is back. The beard is trimmed. The eyes are sparked up a bit. And what is that, are the corners of his mouth turned up a little?
Wow. This is not Roman Jake. Or even Halloween Jake. I guess it like they say. Location Location Location.
heehee... special k, it's more like, "company, company, company" :)
jake looks much more relaxed in that little snap.
i was talking to my friend the other day (non-Jake fan) and she just shrugged at the Reeke stuff, and said, "if you believe jake and austin are still together and they agreed to this kind of arrangement together, then who are we to get upset? perhaps, this is still a slightly better closet than tom cruise's who doesn't even have a loved one by his side, and had to use male escort."
out of the whole mess, i do see a little dim light over this.
btw, that little video of austin is so surreal! thank you.
Go Red Sox!!!!!! I can't believe I missed a Boston get together (again)! Dany has announced that she is going to close WFT, so maybe some of the regulars there (but not the regular trolls) will venture over here.
Is that Jake's bodyguard with him in the Sunday night picture? Do you think there is a specific reason he has a bodyguard now?
I've been away all weekend, so missed my chance to comment on all the pictures. I'm not surprised there were more from a party - expect Jake to be squiring Reese all around town for the moment. Lots more pictures to come.
If Jake is Machievellian enough to beard with Reese, his heart obviously isn't in it. Even when aware of the paps he and Kirsten displayed a lot more overt sexual chemistry. (And covert chemistry with Austin IMO.)
If he and Reese are real, then he's very young to settle for a nice, stable r/ship minus the lust. You need the lust ;-)
I agree, SK, that Jake did look a lot happier in NY 10 days ago. I saw him on TDS and he was giddy.
Was it just that NY was pre-Rendition reviews, and Rome was post-reviews? Don't think so - if this was Jake's first chance to finally be open with his new love then, despite career concerns, he would have looked happier.
I still think Ted's report of Jake and Austin in NY was true. That's where they see each other to avoid the paps now. What that means to Reese I don't know? Austin is now the guy on the side? Whatever, Jake has made his public choice. Officially, Reese is now his public gf.
""Rendition" might as well have been assigned to the Witness Protection Program.
The New Line drama about the forced interrogation of a suspected terrorist, starring Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal, opened last weekend to a dismal ninth-place showing of just $4.1 million (and the $30 million movie has now earned about $8 million after 10 days). In its wake, the commentariat immediately pronounced that audiences were gun shy about any movies dealing with the politics of the Middle East, the threat of terrorism or the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Perhaps.
But here's a simpler theory: "Rendition" was sold as a thriller, and this fall, there's a glut of thrillers in the marketplace, all competing for attention and most coming up short."

JACK BAMBI’S performed at 80’s icon, JOSIE COTTON’S CD Release party. Our co-respondent LISA LEE was there to cover the release party."
So this maybe of Sunday night, and other pic might have been a stock pic.
But even in this picture Jake looks happier and more engaged than in Rome and at Kate Hudson's party.
Maybe that's it. What we saw in the Rome-ancing and Reeking -- was -- no affect.*
"Affect refers to "the experience of feeling or emotion". Affect display is "a facial, vocal, or gestural behavior that serves as an indicator of affect." (APA 2006)
7:44: That picture looks like it's from when Jake was in Toronto and he attended that Michael Clayton Party after the Rendition screening, the party where Time magazine mentioned Jake and Reese dancing.
I’ve been away since the official Reeke (I love that name) photos broke so I’ve had time to digest everything. At this point I don’t know what to think. There’s no doubt in my mind that J&A were a couple. There’s no doubt in my mind that they still have a deep bond and would love to be out and open about their relationship. What I’m not so sure about is what they are doing right now. Sometimes I think that they have decided to call it quits for a while because it was just too hard and they didn’t want to lie directly. Is it possible that they decided to call it off so that they could claim that they are single and on the prowl without actually having to lie? Did they decide to go their separate ways with the understanding that if it was meant to be that they would end up together again in the future? Was Jake’s way of dealing with this to try to pursue a relationship with Reese because she was available and it was easy? I have to say that after looking at the Reeke photos that I see no sign of two people in love. The photos show a dead Jake (reminds me of the Interview Magazine photos) and the piggyback ride screams TomKat to me. Who knows at this point.
Anyway, I’m obviously still interested in the J&A relationship (no matter what the status) and I’m now as always interested in where this will all lead. Will this new straight view of Jake make any difference in his career? Will it all be about Reeke now and will his career take a back seat? Without a movie until 2009 it sure looks that way. I’m particularly interested in Austin’s career. It’s fascinating to watch where it will go. Will he hit it big at some point? Will he continue to ply away as an actor as most end up doing in HW? Will both of these young men continue to develop as actors? I’m hooked and I’m here to stay for as long as Special and Wicked are willing to keep the site going. Let me thank both of them again for all of these great posts.
BTW, I enjoyed the photos of all of you at the Rendition viewing. Looks like you had a great time!
Regarding the bodyguard: Wonder if they thought that Reeke would generate a frenzy from the paps and the fans? Sometimes two stars getting together creates one major Superstar. I really don’t think it will work that way for Reeke. Jaustin would be an entirely different story.
I bought some new rose-colored glasses while I was away and decided that I’ll start drinking mojitos (Reese is right about the mint leaves). :)
I find myself playing this little clip of Luz Del Mundo over again and again. There is something about the energy of this scene, I am digging Austin as the tripping out Cassady.
I would love to see the whole thing.
Austin continues to surprise me in his acting. And that is a good thing.
I can't watch the clip until later either, Frenchy! Glad to see Jake looking like himself again. Hope he was able to see the Sox game too! ;)
I'm disappointed that more people aren't seeing Rendition, it's such a good movie. I do think that people, at this time, may only want to be entertained by lighter movies, to escape from the reality of what's going on. As Jake had said in an interview, people may need time and distance on these matters. It may just be too soon for these films. I still read a lot of hurt and angry comments about the war and terrorism in general.
Spesh, I can't wait to see this clip when I get home. I think it's a great idea for a movie. I'm interested in the one being discussed about Jack Kerouac too - can't wait for that one.
Spesh, I can't wait to see this clip when I get home. I think it's a great idea for a movie.
Word Netb, my companion in misfortune(sigh).
That wasn't very nice of me was it?
No it wasn't Spesh, thank God I'm a forgiving person. ;) :D
Now show me your kinder side and refresh my memory: have you ever played the song "We Can Work it Out"? I think it will be quite appropriate this week.
Just saw this posted on WFT from a couple of days ago. Is it my imagination or is Jake exhibiting a lot of these signs in the pictures with Reese?
"How to Tell If Someone is Lying...
"I Want to Hide: A liar will usually have an unconscious desire to hide, but since he can't go anywhere this will be reflected in his posture and body movmenet. Thus, a liar will have his back bent a little and will try to let his body occupy a smaller area (bending inwards on oneself). In this case, his unconscious mind will be thinking that making him smaller may make him go unnoticed.
Body Language:As soon as you change the subject or stop asking about it, a liar's body language may change from the state of being anxious (fingernail biting,fidgeting, sweating and jiggling the contents of pockets) to the state of relaxation (breathing deeply and taking open gestures).
Fake Smiles: A true smile will result in movement of different facial muscles like cheek muscles and the muscle groups below the eyes. This will result in turn in a few wrinkles in the face especially below the eyes. Fake smiles only result in the movement of the muscles around the mouth while other muscles remain in place."
Richard Kelly's follow up film after Donnie Darko. Southland Tales.
Yes it did get panned at Cannes. Sounds like Kelly went back to tighten the movie up after the tough reception.
“Southland Tales,” set to open Nov. 14, unfolds during the 2008 presidential campaign in a parallel-reality America. The country is reeling from a 2005 nuclear attack in Texas and apparently heading for an even bigger catastrophe."
Yikes! It's a tough world out there for actors and directors, isn't it? This sounds like an interesting idea for a movie to me.
Great song suggestions, all! It is a very Fine Romance, and I hope one or the other isn't tempted by anybody else's fruit! Special, I think you should go for it with your suggestion too! ;)
Great find on the clip; I actually got to see it because I took a peek at the sight before I left home this morning. It is so wacky, wish we could see the whole thing.
Bo is right, Rendition, like Zodiac, was not marketed right It should have been marketed as a serious film and rolled out slowly. It was never going to get the "thriller" crowd given its cast and the topic. And if it had been marketed differently, I don't think people would be calling these numbers a failure. Hmmm, now what other marketing failures have we seen lately....
Finally, congragulations to all of you Red Sox fans.
I just took a look at the imdb.com and someone supposedly in the know (??) said that Austin is either playing Graham or Martin (I hope it's Martin) and Jon Foster is either playing Graham or Martin (unfortunately, I bet HE is playing Martin).
Graham is an okay role but he's basically a stoodge to Martin.
If Austin plays Graham, he will be playing Kim Basinger's son. In the book, that's not a small role by the way because Graham does keep popping in and out of certain vignettes. There are also strong hints that he's bisexual--I believe there are references to guys he's slept with even though he has a girlfriend (and he thinks his friend Martin is sleeping with her--but then he doesn't care all that much). If Austin plays Martin, he'll boink Kim Basinger, Graham's girlfriend and direct a video by an up and coming British band who the jaded rock star is threatened by.
"A lot of my peer group think I'm an eccentric bisexual, like I may even have an ammonia-filled tentacle or something somewhere on my body. That's okay."
*THANKS* Spesh for the beautiful Luz Del Mundo video - I can't hear it but Austin looks divine anyway and yes he has a beautiful voice too.
*sigh*
Nice get-together pics, all of you :) Thanks for being my virtually Reeke-free haven on the net.
Trying not to think too much these days about Jake and his motivations. I do know why he's getting a hard time of it, though. He's not the guy from Prison Break, Star Wars or American Pie - he's the guy from BBM. It is a bit of a no-win.
I'm sure we'll see loads more; who knows, they'll probably hook Austy up with a co-star or two as well. So it goes.
Incidentally, am I the only person here who hates the the expression "hook up"?
Hey I have been know to accidentally feed the trolls just like everyone else. It happens. Usually I end up doing my best impression of Homer, when I realize what I did. Doh!
Trust me if Winona gets a gander of Austin and decides she wants some of that for herself, you'll WISH she were Ashley. Hopefully, Winona will never see Austin or have any interest in him whatsoever. If you're a fan of Austin's, you will pray that happens.
Why, thank you wicked! I've been lurking around a bit, when I've had time, but I just haven't had much to say about the current state of things. And since Austin's laying low, so am I, apparently... *g*
God I love this song. They don't know me. J and A are my private fantasy. They are with me constantly in my mind.
Congrats Red Sox 2007 World Series Champs. Special and Ne beter be headed for the parade tomorrow. The weather looks good. Oh how I wish we here in Philly could have a parade soon. It has been a while.
Nice to hear from you hjulia :) Hope Austin's FNL episodes air soon.
About the Jake and RDJ pictures (now on wet dark and wild): the energy level in them is on a totally different scale compared to Rome. Jake looks very relaxed and visibly happy next to RDJ. He has that I'm listening and seeing only you expression that was missing in the Rome pics and made them look so off. Also no awkward hand gestures or his hips closing space between him and the person beside him.
Dear Ted: First you said everyone in the free world would drop their teeth when Toothy's out, and now you're saying he's less established than Hugh Jackman? Nancy Jacksonville, Florida
Dear Det. Molar: Certainly career- and box-office-wise, yes. But darling, that leaves a whole lotta room for homo-happy trail-hunting ground!
Dear Ted: I threw up when I saw Jake with Reese. Jeremy Chandler, Arizona
Dear Smelly Keyboard: Then I suggest you stop reading the rags for the upcoming six-month period (max)—unless you want to ruin hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of equipment.
OMG is a community, and we want to know who is a part of it, names do that. Even for a post, an hour, a day or a week.
And to everyone who is stopping by and saying hi. We STRONGLY suggest names with comments. Names help give identity and accountability. And honestly I am not a number person and Anon is just a blah word.
maybe ridiculous question I don't know Reese nor I saw movie with her except LB1, but does anybody see any resemblance between Reese and Austin, not physical of course, even thought they both are mentioned as cute types, I mean some personal characteristic which Jake likes in Austin. Only hypothetically might be there any trace of pattern he chooses his partners after in case he is attracted to women and men and he's really replaced Austin by Reese because, well he kind of likes her and she is socially more conveniet choice ?
Uh, no. There is no resemblance between Reese and Austin. (Austin and Heath, YES but not Austin and the midget). Reese and Kirsten a little bit in the sense they're both blonde and neither are conventional beauties. But that's it.
Special, I loved that clip from Luz del Mundo - Austin is great in it. Wish I could see more.
Hi Tom and Broadwayfan! Keep the faith about the Phillies, Tom! Noone ever had to keep the faith more than Red Sox fans - and we finally were rewarded - twice! We were so used to almost getting there, only to have victories snatched from us at the very last moment - they've actually brought me to tears! But all that's changed. lol I can't go to the rally because I have to work (dammit!) but I'll enjoy it on TV. I was so stunned that we actually won a World Series the first time it never sank in, but this time I can really enjoy it - it feels good to win! :)
Broadwayfan, the Yankees and Mets have been fabulous over the years (as much as I hate to admit it!), but I have to give credit where credit is due! :)
There's more chemistry, warmth and general love of present company in just one photo of Jake and RDJ (pick one, any one works) than all 65 photos of Reeke put together. I know I'm stating the obvious, but it had to be stated. Because it's true. *That* is Jake (sober or not!), and that is him together with someone for all the right reasons. Plus there's some random Trudi Styler thrown in.
I don't want to speak to soon, but for myself, personally, I might just barely survive the next six (Ted-predicted) months if we can come up for air like this once in a while. I need a glimpse of the real man. Rome was not it, but this is.
It was great seeing the OMG Gang photos, you look like a lot of fun. :D And huge omgyay to the Red Sox - truly amazing all over again.
I just finished reading On The Road for the first time, so it was great seeing this clip! The last page of that book is haunting to read, I cried.
Dear Ted: Am I the only person who thinks it's a big coincidence that Jake and Reese were first photographed holding hands after Rendition bombed at the box office? I smell something putrid...I think it's desperation! Jessica S. Somerset, New Jersey
Dear Stopped Up: Your nostrils are just now quivering over this?
HOLLYWOOD HEART THROB AND STAR OF MY WET DREAMS, JAKE GYLLENHAAL I'll break his back and mount him... WHY HE'S FANTASTIC: With Halloween right around the corner, why not give your DVD player a treat with movies such as Zodiac, Donnie Darko, and the scariest of his movies...Bubble Boy (Did you see that movie? Ew.) He has the same catipillar eyebrows as me, but he can actually pull them off. He's versatile on screen (a gay cowboy in BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, a bumbling nerd in PROOF, and a military man in JARHEAD) and in bed (a top with KIRSTEN DUNST and REESE WITHERSPOON and any positition he can bend into with AUSTIN NICHOLS...and ME). In conclusion, he's hotter than a boy in a plastic bubble.

I hope so too, Destiny, and I wonder what else will go "missing" in the near future. The Jausty love is being erased from the web. And now with WFT closing I feel so sad :(
I noticed that other TDAT clips are still up, which doesn't make sense if it was really a copyright issue--this was one of the shortest clips. Also, IHJ media seems to be gone, replaced by some medical-related ad.
Also noted the most recent interview of TR Knight on the Ellen show has also been removed from You Tube. In this interview Ellen and TR dicussed other closeted HW stars. TR stated that he knew that people wanted certain other closeted stars to make a statement. He didnt name any names of course but you knew he knew who he was talking about. (May or may not have been about Jake?). That interview has also been taken down. I have saved many Ellen interviews and it is the first that has ever been taken down.
That's also very odd, Tom. Let's hope this isnt' a trend!
I wish I had saved the TDAT vid, but alas you assume these things won't just disappear for no reason! I hope someone (maybe hjulia) has it saved, and can repost it.
Well there is no way that either Jake or Reese are getting nominated for Oscars for Rendition and I can't even see the movie up for best picture so hopefully it means they can end this whole thing a lot sooner than six months.
Although if Reeke continuously show up looking miserable and Jake appears a day later with someone else looking happy and relaxed, then I will find it all amusing.
Do not panic about IHJ pictures on IHJ Media. This happened last year as well. It has to do with renewing their domain name -- IHeartJakeMedia. They forgot to do it, like they did last year. It will be up soon. No pictures are lost nor is IHJ taking them down for some reason or the other. Patience, it will come back up. New pictures will show up on Eye Candy in the Community boards.
Now for the video of Jake and Austin, I have no idea why that is down. But I know that Stubborn will make sure it stay up there.
It is silly if whoever they are think they can remove traces of Jake & Austin. That cat is out of the bag. Many have know for a long time and even more know it from Ted's column.
6 months - I don't even think it will last that long. This is all about awards season. And I don't think there will be the noms that they (Reese/360 Managment/Studios) expect. Jake will be away working on projects. And as many have said they will blame it on his work schedule. Jake will be able to have minimal investment into the charade because he will be tied up with his work. It will be interesting to watch Jake and his phone in pictures. By his expression it is obvious who will be on the other end of the line.
It would be great if Austin got the Cassady role in the long film version planned. Sadly they will probably go for a bigger "name". Might be a bit weird, anyway, as Kiki is rumored to be playing Carolyn Cassady! They must want known names because I'm afraid Kirsten just isn't that good an actress.
i just hope jake's PR won't start advising him on his film role choices as well. i am dreading this "superstardom pursue" would eventually make Jake "just one of those good looking guys in mediocre rom-coms".
if there's consolation to his fans, jake doesn't seem happy in his current 100% straight role either. what a disaster idea... and actually it would have been slightly better, if they were more consistent and just started the charade at TIFF. now it just seems desperate and fake, but not just to J&A fans
As an antidote to Tense Jake Walking with Reese pictures here's a picture I love of Jake walking with Austin. Austin is not enjoying the photographer's presence but Jake is so relaxed.
I am surprised that even on the DC forum the majority are not buying Reeke. If you are interested, go back through the pages of this thread, save for one poster that keeps pimping Reese there are all about bearding and Austin: http://www.davecullen.com/forum/index.php?topic=26918.300

Now show me your kinder side and refresh my memory: have you ever played the song "We Can Work it Out"? I think it will be quite appropriate this week.
Spooky2th,
ReplyDeleteThere are several of us on that Nichosl caravan aren't there? How much fun is this travelogue... too much!
Now show me your kinder side and refresh my memory: have you ever played the song "We Can Work it Out"?
ReplyDeleteNo we haven't Frenchy. Great suggestion!
I have to admit I have a bit of a cheeky approach involving a Beatles' song I have always wanted to play here.
Which one?
"Why Don't We Do It In the Road".
Just saw this posted on WFT from a couple of days ago. Is it my imagination or is Jake exhibiting a lot of these signs in the pictures with Reese?
ReplyDelete"How to Tell If Someone is Lying...
"I Want to Hide: A liar will usually have an unconscious desire to hide, but since he can't go anywhere this will be reflected in his posture and body movmenet. Thus, a liar will have his back bent a little and will try to let his body occupy a smaller area (bending inwards on oneself). In this case, his unconscious mind will be thinking that making him smaller may make him go unnoticed.
Body Language:As soon as you change the subject or stop asking about it, a liar's body language may change from the state of being anxious (fingernail biting,fidgeting, sweating and jiggling the contents of pockets) to the state of relaxation (breathing deeply and taking open gestures).
Fake Smiles: A true smile will result in movement of different facial muscles like cheek muscles and the muscle groups below the eyes. This will result in turn in a few wrinkles in the face especially below the eyes. Fake smiles only result in the movement of the muscles around the mouth while other muscles remain in place."

Why is Reese much more relaxed? She's a better actress or she doesn't have a bf somewhere she's worried about?
Song request: A Fine Romance. Old song, not sure about a singer!
ReplyDeleteAnother uk tb made me think about another UK oldie: "Tempted by the Fruit of Another" by Squeeze.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the song suggestions. We will see what we can do.
ReplyDeleteSaw this is in Sunday's New York Times.
ReplyDeleteRichard Kelly's follow up film after Donnie Darko. Southland Tales.
Yes it did get panned at Cannes. Sounds like Kelly went back to tighten the movie up after the tough reception.
“Southland Tales,” set to open Nov. 14, unfolds during the 2008 presidential campaign in a parallel-reality America. The country is reeling from a 2005 nuclear attack in Texas and apparently heading for an even bigger catastrophe."
NYT: Booed at Cannes, but Now the Real Test"
Southland Tales opens November 14th in the US.
Yikes! It's a tough world out there for actors and directors, isn't it? This sounds like an interesting idea for a movie to me.
ReplyDeleteGreat song suggestions, all! It is a very Fine Romance, and I hope one or the other isn't tempted by anybody else's fruit! Special, I think you should go for it with your suggestion too! ;)
Oh cool! Thanks for the clip, I'd not seen it.
ReplyDelete:D
Great find on the clip; I actually got to see it because I took a peek at the sight before I left home this morning. It is so wacky, wish we could see the whole thing.
ReplyDeleteBo is right, Rendition, like Zodiac, was not marketed right It should have been marketed as a serious film and rolled out slowly. It was never going to get the "thriller" crowd given its cast and the topic. And if it had been marketed differently, I don't think people would be calling these numbers a failure. Hmmm, now what other marketing failures have we seen lately....
Finally, congragulations to all of you Red Sox fans.
I just took a look at the imdb.com and someone supposedly in the know (??) said that Austin is either playing Graham or Martin (I hope it's Martin) and Jon Foster is either playing Graham or Martin (unfortunately, I bet HE is playing Martin).
ReplyDeleteGraham is an okay role but he's basically a stoodge to Martin.
1:39
ReplyDeleteThanks for bringing this info to OMG.
By the way I didn't catch your name?
Billie Holiday sang A Fine romance
ReplyDeleteand she was bi.
If Austin plays Graham, he will be playing Kim Basinger's son. In the book, that's not a small role by the way because Graham does keep popping in and out of certain vignettes. There are also strong hints that he's bisexual--I believe there are references to guys he's slept with even though he has a girlfriend (and he thinks his friend Martin is sleeping with her--but then he doesn't care all that much). If Austin plays Martin, he'll boink Kim Basinger, Graham's girlfriend and direct a video by an up and coming British band who the jaded rock star is threatened by.
ReplyDeleteThere are more pics of Jake with Robert Downey Jr and Trudy Styler at IHJ.
ReplyDeleteFunny how that hand finds a such comfortable place around RDJ's waist.
ReplyDeleteAnd what's that a little grin I see?
Wait is this the same masked man from the day before?
Looking a lot more relaxed. (ahem) Then again, LA club on Sunday is laid back compared to the trot around Rome.
He seemed to grab Laura Jean's waist just fine considering how tiny she is.
ReplyDeleteCurious to know how Jake was feeling considering he was wearing a Halloween mask.
Methinks there is more than a bit of jealousy here, sounds a bit like the fangirls over on IHJ.
I bet Jacob had a few adult beverages at that club where he listened to Robert's son play, didn't know Robert had a teenaged son.
Are you sure Jake is looking happy while he's hanging out with Robert because of adult beverages?
ReplyDeleteI expected you to say that it's because he forgot to put his contacts in again ...

I wanted to add:
ReplyDeleteIt's really nice to see Jake smiling and just generally enjoying himself again.
Let's hope we see more of smiley Jake in the future, which basically means no Reeke pictures since that is one easy way of making Jake look miserable.
^ Jack troll.
ReplyDeleteLooks like we've been infiltrated *sigh*
ReplyDeleteSpecial, the traffic at OMG is not that crazy... yet. Is it possible for you to spot the trolls' IP(s) and ban them?
ReplyDelete*THANKS* Spesh for the beautiful Luz Del Mundo video - I can't hear it but Austin looks divine anyway and yes he has a beautiful voice too.
ReplyDelete*sigh*
Nice get-together pics, all of you :) Thanks for being my virtually Reeke-free haven on the net.
Trying not to think too much these days about Jake and his motivations. I do know why he's getting a hard time of it, though. He's not the guy from Prison Break, Star Wars or American Pie - he's the guy from BBM. It is a bit of a no-win.
I'm sure we'll see loads more; who knows, they'll probably hook Austy up with a co-star or two as well. So it goes.
Incidentally, am I the only person here who hates the the expression "hook up"?
Special, the traffic at OMG is not that crazy... yet.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is. Right now we have too many people on at the same time to tell who's who accurately.
The best way to handle trolls is ignore, ignore, ignore.
ok are we starting the whole Jack troll thing over here again? I was hoping this would not be the case!
ReplyDeleteNice seeing Jake smiling and enjoying RDJ's company.
Remember I hate cleaning.
ReplyDeleteSo before the trolls come over here to snack.
Feeding trolls while it might be fun or sometime it seems unavoidable, it just get them all puffed up and bloated unitl they burp it or explodes.
And someone is going to clean up that mess, but it isn't gonna be me. : )
So remember -- you feed it you clean it.
Noooooo! If Austin starts pairing up with Hasley Simpson I think I might literally throw up.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info Wicked and Special. :)
ReplyDeleteI had completely forgotten that traffic also includes lurkers!
Hey I have been know to accidentally feed the trolls just like everyone else. It happens. Usually I end up doing my best impression of Homer, when I realize what I did. Doh!
ReplyDeleteTrust me if Winona gets a gander of Austin and decides she wants some of that for herself, you'll WISH she were Ashley. Hopefully, Winona will never see Austin or have any interest in him whatsoever. If you're a fan of Austin's, you will pray that happens.
ReplyDeletePut the link to the pictures up in the post.
ReplyDeleteIHJ Media is down temporarily.
The pics are found in IHJ Community under Eye Candy.
3:27 --
ReplyDeleteI have had little sleep (Thank to those great Sox! WOO HOO!!), and numbers make me grumpy. Do you have a name instead?
Hjulia, forgot to say hi to you. Haven't seen you around the blogosphere lately. Good to see you.
ReplyDeleteCheck out hjulia's site. There are two new photos to die for.
ReplyDeleteCheck out hjulia's site. There are two new photos to die for.
ReplyDeleteHome, sweet home... (sigh)
Why, thank you wicked! I've been lurking around a bit, when I've had time, but I just haven't had much to say about the current state of things. And since Austin's laying low, so am I, apparently... *g*
ReplyDeleteGod I love this song. They don't know me. J and A are my private fantasy. They are with me constantly in my mind.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Red Sox 2007 World Series Champs. Special and Ne beter be headed for the parade tomorrow. The weather looks good. Oh how I wish we here in Philly could have a parade soon. It has been a while.
Nice to hear from you hjulia :) Hope Austin's FNL episodes air soon.
ReplyDeleteAbout the Jake and RDJ pictures (now on wet dark and wild): the energy level in them is on a totally different scale compared to Rome. Jake looks very relaxed and visibly happy next to RDJ. He has that I'm listening and seeing only you expression that was missing in the Rome pics and made them look so off. Also no awkward hand gestures or his hips closing space between him and the person beside him.
not to mention all those movies that Jake are linked to now. he'll be busy til 2009.
ReplyDeletecan we predict a possible breakup excuse: too much time apart and crashed schedule.
Congrats to Boston and the Red Sox fans. Your team did it again! My teams (Yanks and Mets) suck beyond belief.
ReplyDeleteTry not to think of you but a heart does what it wants to do. Pass you by see you smile and I must admit I get so emotional.
ReplyDeleteSmile Jake Smile!

Dear Smelly Keyboard:
Then I suggest you stop reading the rags for the upcoming six-month period (max)—unless you want to ruin hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of equipment.
I think Jeremy from Chandler, AZ is Lyca from WFT.
ReplyDeleteTed thinks Reeke will last maximum six months.
ReplyDeleteInteresting time frame, since the Academy Awards are in March, six months from now.
ReplyDeleteDoes that mean if there is no nominations no more Jeese? Hmmmm.
ReplyDeletesix months includes award season and Rendition's dvd release.
ReplyDelete7:58, exactly-that's the span of awards season and the DVD release. How very Vaughnistonish.

ReplyDeleteIs there a name to go with your posts?
OMG is a community, and we want to know who is a part of it, names do that. Even for a post, an hour, a day or a week.
And to everyone who is stopping by and saying hi. We STRONGLY suggest names with comments. Names help give identity and accountability. And honestly I am not a number person and Anon is just a blah word.
Finally watched that great clip. What a treat. Austin really feels like a character actor.
ReplyDeleteI was right about Lyca. That is his comment- Jeremy from Chandler, AZ. Damn, I'm good! :)
ReplyDeletemaybe ridiculous question
ReplyDeleteI don't know Reese nor I saw movie with her except LB1, but
does anybody see any resemblance between Reese and Austin, not physical of course, even thought they both are mentioned as cute types, I mean some personal characteristic which Jake likes in Austin.
Only hypothetically might be there any trace of pattern he chooses his partners after in case he is attracted to women and men and he's really replaced Austin by Reese because, well he kind of likes her and she is socially more conveniet choice ?
Uh, no. There is no resemblance between Reese and Austin. (Austin and Heath, YES but not Austin and the midget). Reese and Kirsten a little bit in the sense they're both blonde and neither are conventional beauties. But that's it.
ReplyDeleteWell I'm rather short myself so if Reese is a midget, I'm afraid I fall in the cockroach category. :D
ReplyDeleteSpecial, I loved that clip from Luz del Mundo - Austin is great in it. Wish I could see more.
ReplyDeleteHi Tom and Broadwayfan! Keep the faith about the Phillies, Tom! Noone ever had to keep the faith more than Red Sox fans - and we finally were rewarded - twice! We were so used to almost getting there, only to have victories snatched from us at the very last moment - they've actually brought me to tears! But all that's changed. lol I can't go to the rally because I have to work (dammit!) but I'll enjoy it on TV. I was so stunned that we actually won a World Series the first time it never sank in, but this time I can really enjoy it - it feels good to win! :)
Broadwayfan, the Yankees and Mets have been fabulous over the years (as much as I hate to admit it!), but I have to give credit where credit is due! :)
Cheer up Tom, you could be a Cubs fan like me!
ReplyDeleteThere's more chemistry, warmth and general love of present company in just one photo of Jake and RDJ (pick one, any one works) than all 65 photos of Reeke put together. I know I'm stating the obvious, but it had to be stated. Because it's true. *That* is Jake (sober or not!), and that is him together with someone for all the right reasons. Plus there's some random Trudi Styler thrown in.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to speak to soon, but for myself, personally, I might just barely survive the next six (Ted-predicted) months if we can come up for air like this once in a while. I need a glimpse of the real man. Rome was not it, but this is.
It was great seeing the OMG Gang photos, you look like a lot of fun. :D And huge omgyay to the Red Sox - truly amazing all over again.
I just finished reading On The Road for the first time, so it was great seeing this clip! The last page of that book is haunting to read, I cried.
Dear Ted:
ReplyDeleteAm I the only person who thinks it's a big coincidence that Jake and Reese were first photographed holding hands after Rendition bombed at the box office? I smell something putrid...I think it's desperation!

ReplyDeletesex god of the week #3
Labels: sex god of the week
HOLLYWOOD HEART THROB AND STAR OF MY WET DREAMS, JAKE GYLLENHAAL
I'll break his back and mount him...
WHY HE'S FANTASTIC:
With Halloween right around the corner, why not give your DVD player a treat with movies such as Zodiac, Donnie Darko, and the scariest of his movies...Bubble Boy (Did you see that movie? Ew.) He has the same catipillar eyebrows as me, but he can actually pull them off. He's versatile on screen (a gay cowboy in BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, a bumbling nerd in PROOF, and a military man in JARHEAD) and in bed (a top with KIRSTEN DUNST and REESE WITHERSPOON and any positition he can bend into with AUSTIN NICHOLS...and ME). In conclusion, he's hotter than a boy in a plastic bubble.

Just noticed the youtube video of Austin wiping down Jake during filming of TDAT has been removed :(
ReplyDelete:( I hope someone has it saved somewhere! This can't be a coincidence, other TDAT clips seem to still be up.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too, Destiny, and I wonder what else will go "missing" in the near future. The Jausty love is being erased from the web. And now with WFT closing I feel so sad :(
ReplyDeleteI had been feeling better today, but now this!! It really is like they are trying to erase them.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that other TDAT clips are still up, which doesn't make sense if it was really a copyright issue--this was one of the shortest clips. Also, IHJ media seems to be gone, replaced by some medical-related ad.
ReplyDeleteAlso noted the most recent interview of TR Knight on the Ellen show has also been removed from You Tube. In this interview Ellen and TR dicussed other closeted HW stars. TR stated that he knew that people wanted certain other closeted stars to make a statement. He didnt name any names of course but you knew he knew who he was talking about. (May or may not have been about Jake?). That interview has also been taken down. I have saved many Ellen interviews and it is the first that has ever been taken down.
ReplyDeleteThat's also very odd, Tom. Let's hope this isnt' a trend!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had saved the TDAT vid, but alas you assume these things won't just disappear for no reason! I hope someone (maybe hjulia) has it saved, and can repost it.
I still have the wiping down video.
ReplyDeleteI can't upload it right now, but as soon as I come home I will do it.
And if they take it down again, I will upload it again. We have to keep the Jaustin love alive, right?
A million cool points to you stubbon! :D
ReplyDeleteWell there is no way that either Jake or Reese are getting nominated for Oscars for Rendition and I can't even see the movie up for best picture so hopefully it means they can end this whole thing a lot sooner than six months.
ReplyDeleteAlthough if Reeke continuously show up looking miserable and Jake appears a day later with someone else looking happy and relaxed, then I will find it all amusing.
Do not panic about IHJ pictures on IHJ Media. This happened last year as well. It has to do with renewing their domain name -- IHeartJakeMedia. They forgot to do it, like they did last year. It will be up soon. No pictures are lost nor is IHJ taking them down for some reason or the other. Patience, it will come back up. New pictures will show up on Eye Candy in the Community boards.
ReplyDeleteNow for the video of Jake and Austin, I have no idea why that is down. But I know that Stubborn will make sure it stay up there.
It is silly if whoever they are think they can remove traces of Jake & Austin. That cat is out of the bag. Many have know for a long time and even more know it from Ted's column.
6 months - I don't even think it will last that long. This is all about awards season. And I don't think there will be the noms that they (Reese/360 Managment/Studios) expect. Jake will be away working on projects. And as many have said they will blame it on his work schedule. Jake will be able to have minimal investment into the charade because he will be tied up with his work. It will be interesting to watch Jake and his phone in pictures. By his expression it is obvious who will be on the other end of the line.
Thank God for (((Stubby))). I can't believe they would take down that clip! Special, your saying "in HW there are no coincidences" come to mind."
ReplyDeleteUPDATE: IHJ Media is back up.
ReplyDeleteIt would be great if Austin got the Cassady role in the long film version planned. Sadly they will probably go for a bigger "name".
ReplyDeleteMight be a bit weird, anyway, as Kiki is rumored to be playing Carolyn Cassady! They must want known names because I'm afraid Kirsten just isn't that good an actress.
i just hope jake's PR won't start advising him on his film role choices as well. i am dreading this "superstardom pursue" would eventually make Jake "just one of those good looking guys in mediocre rom-coms".
ReplyDeleteif there's consolation to his fans, jake doesn't seem happy in his current 100% straight role either. what a disaster idea... and actually it would have been slightly better, if they were more consistent and just started the charade at TIFF. now it just seems desperate and fake, but not just to J&A fans
As an antidote to Tense Jake Walking with Reese pictures here's a picture I love of Jake walking with Austin. Austin is not enjoying the photographer's presence but Jake is so relaxed.
ReplyDeleteJake and Austin walking
I am surprised that even on the DC forum the majority are not buying Reeke. If you are interested, go back through the pages of this thread, save for one poster that keeps pimping Reese there are all about bearding and Austin:
