Hook 'em Horns


The turkey and fixin's are put away safely in the fridge, you're sure that you'll never eat another thing, ok maybe you will eat a slice or two of pie. Hey pumpkin is a vegetable and apples are fruit!

But today is a bigger day than Thanksgiving in the great state of Texas. One word Football. And today is Game Day. Cowboys vs.The Jets - please that was yesterday. Today is - Texas vs. Texas A&M. While the rivalry is not as hyped as it once was, and maybe because the UT - Oklahoma game has overshadowed the A&M game in the past few years, today is all about braggin' rights, and that some big braggin' when you're talking Texas.


You know where Austin is heart is. Longhorn through and through and it looks like Jake feels the same. Sure bet is they both will be watching the game. So boys, here's to BBQ and Shiner Beers - if you guys need to get a little Hollywood, go on down to Sprinkles and get those cupcakes with the Longhorn logo on them. Of course you may have your own way to Hook'em Horns.

    So put a name with your posts.

  2. Today in my Google alerts for Jake there were numerous alerts from different websites with the story of Reese rejecting Jake's marriage proposal. So looks like that story is really making the rounds.

  3. I heard the story on a norwegian radio-channel yesterday. When it comes to the story about the ring she might be wearing i had a little laugh. Here we have been wondering about the ring Austin is wearing around his neck, and voila, the story about Reese. I`m not saying it`s bullshit though. Jake might have given her a friendship ring.

  4. Why is the rejected proposal story only emerging now? Are we supposed to think that the reason Jake was miserable in Rome was that he was sulking after the rejection?

    ReplyDelete
  5. Good question, gc. I wonder about that too. What you said might be the reason, but i also wonder if it`s got something to do with making Reese look like the perfect mother again, after there have been some negative comments about her as a mother on the internet.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Good picture of Austin's hook 'em horns, SK! There's also one of Jake doing it too, in that series of pre-Oscar party pics where he's behind Ang Lee.

  7. Perhaps, NG, but it still doesn't jive with a mom who would take her kids cross country to spend the weekend with her BF's family, bring the BF along on trick-or-treating, have BF's sister buy presents for them, has her BF spend many nights over at the house, have Thanksgiving dinner with the BF's family, have a romantic day and a half away with the BF plastered all over the internet, etc.

    And if I remember correctly, Reese introduced Jake to her children all the way back in April or May. And she wasn't even divorced yet. Of course, they probably already knew Jake considering he was a friend of their father's.

    The hole that Evelyn and Company have dug for themselves with this sham is too deep now, no amount of spin or back pedaling will save anyone's reputation.

    Except the truth, that is.

  8. ^^Whose bright idea was this anyway? ;)

    Oh well, at least we've got FNL to look forward to tonight. Hope there will be some good news about J&A too, despite what we've been hearing lately. Thanks for playing my favorite Billy Idol song. ;) Would love to see Austin Billy Idol blond, can he do the sneer tho? ;)

  10. This was on FCC days ago before any proposal was mentioned in the gossip mags.

    ""Dear Ted:
    Do you think Reese Witherspoon knows everything she needs to know about Jake Gyllenhaal?
    Carla
    Boston

    Dear Get Ready:
    This may surprise you, darling, but yes, she does. Everything. And, please, next question goes to Reese, not us, she’ll have to answer for herself."


    A bizarre thought, but is it possible that Ted is referring to a marriage proposal here when he speaks of questions and Reese answering for herself, knowing everything as she does (and bearing in mind the "Get ready" warning as well)?"

    ReplyDelete
  11. Maybe, but the "answering for herself" part made me think the question should be "why are you doing this".

    ReplyDelete
  12. Wow some of you are so judgemental of Jake. Yet you believe that tabloids don't make up stuff and that PR feeds every tabloid out there. Guess every story of a starlet being pregnant or having an affair with this celeb is true and fed by PR. I think the proposal story is bullshit and it doesn't matter that it is linked a million times. Just like so many fake stories before. Please, guess I shouldn't be surprised since so many believe what Ted feeds you. Makes you look very dumb.

    ReplyDelete
  13. 12:14, I think we do all believe the proposal story is garbage, but the point is that PR put it out there for the world to see. Really, Jake needs to dump whoever it is that has been giving him advice. They are making him look like a fool.

    ReplyDelete
  14. M, you just responded to a troll IMO. I think we should ignore 12:14.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Even if we are all as dumb as a bucket of rocks, 12:14, why do you care? ;)

    ReplyDelete
  16. I wonder why the proposal stories revolve around Rome, and not say S.F. Doesn't quite fit in with the whirlwind charade that followed. Maybe it is just as simple as pr trying to make it look real and not thinking it through.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Reese carefully monitors what is said about her. She always has. When the "bad mother" comments start to get noisy especially on places like Popsugar or JustJared that are usually inhabited by those who drank the "Reese is a FANTASTIC mother" koolaide there are instant pictures of her with the kids. The photoshoot of her with Deacon on the beach recently was disgustingly planned and executed. She has certain bloggers plugged in to help spread specific messages (she's cute! she's a dedicated mom! Ryan is worthless! But she tried!) and feeds certain ones like Lainey exclusive sightings and facts. This woman knows no shame. She is ruthless. She is the female Tom Cuise. I actually feel sorry for Jake. For reasons only he can understand he has entered into something that and if there has to be a winner and a loser bet all your money that Reese will win.

    ReplyDelete
  18. His/her PR may not have had a thing to do with all this.

    I just read a piece of gossip about some other celeb. He refuted it on his blog saying 1) never happened and 2) it looked like it was a plug to get a brand into a gossip item.

    I was reminded of this when I read how the "Bulgari bling" is featured so prominently in the most recent gossip item on Jake/Reese.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Sorry, that was me at 1:02. Blogger wouldn't accept my name under "Other".

    ReplyDelete
  20. I am not responding to the troll but I absolutely DO NOT believe every single junk going on rugs is planted by PR and I find that idea rather ridiculous. I do believe rags bick up things form each other. The whole idea of Jake proposing on his knees is just really funny and made me laugh.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I see Dlisted had the same reaction to the idea of Jake on his knees that I did.

    ReplyDelete
  22. I actually feel sorry for Jake. For reasons only he can understand he has entered into something that and if there has to be a winner and a loser bet all your money that Reese will win."

    She's going to make mashed potatoes of Jake after she's done with him. And how is she okay with Jake liking guys? Is that alright as long as he's discreet and it doesn't make her look like a fool?

    I agree with your depiction of Reese. Only a very stupid, sad or desperate male would get involved with her considering she is a nasty piece of work.

  23. Only a very stupid, sad or desperate male would get involved with her considering she is a nasty piece of work.

    How so? I don't know much about her myself. What makes her a nasty piece of work?

  24. Lainey answers the question of where Reese spent Thanksgiving

    Where was she? A source tells me she spent Thanksgiving yesterday at her uncle’s in Brentwood, TN– at one point seen running through the leaves outside with her children. Cute! And no Jakey in sight.

    But I’m sure you know now about their romantic getaway to Napa recently and while they were spotted by paps for about an hour one day, the two spent the rest of their time relatively undisturbed. No cameras, just civilians. And were still affectionate and romantic.

    They are definitely media players. But they are also legitimately together. And he is absolutely not gay. Trust.

    Oh and one more interesting note about Ryan Phillippe. I’m told he’s not happy. Jealous not as an ex husband but because Jake has his career. Suck it, cheater.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Thanks Wicked, it really makes me happy to know Reese was in Tennessee yesterday. Hopefully she'll stay there until Jake heads off to N.M.

    Lainey always cracks me up. "Relatvively undisturbed" = except, luckily for pr, someone who just happened to witness hem being affectionate and romantic even when the cameras were not rolling. Riiiight. And for someone who's absolutely not gay, the subject sure comes up a lot when people right about Reese.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Ugh, right=talk. Don't know how that one slipped by.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Thank you for the hook-'em pics :) I remember Peter doing this too with Jake wheeling Ramona, and Jake doing them again when he went to Austin with Mance.

    Last night I listened to Austin's podcast (from August) for the first time. Very high adorability quotient. He and Jake loved that Rose Bowl game last year, didn't they (USC vs UT) :)

    Hmm, I just wrote I post I only understand about 25% of :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. Not to mention the most grammatically poor sentence ev-ah!

    ReplyDelete
  29. So he's serious enough about her to propose marriage but not to spend Thanksgiving with her?

    Unless, he's moving too fast and she needs to back off because her divorce is so recent and she has to be with her kids...stop me if you've heard this one before.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I dont know that much about Lainey, but I thought you guys (OMG) said that even she thought that Reeke was a fauxmance. And now she says its real? I do agree with her when she says Jake is not gay 100% but only because I think he's bisexual 100%. ;) I dunno, maybe the Reeke thing works out for them, for Reese because she's had her children, she's not into sex and she's ambitious, for Jake because it gives him a safe haven to do what he wants, hidden behind respectibility and with a partner (Reese) who knows everything and makes few demands. At least, for now.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Lainey has the worst instincts of any gossipper out there.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Lainey gets a lot of her scoops/tidbits from Perez. She said something once about a celebrity who I actually know about through one of my best friends. I e-mailed her about it and we exchanged a few e-mails. She mentioned Perez Hilton and said he is a good source to her and knows a lot about various people.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Mally, Lainey is a staunch Jake-is-straighter and has been for some time. she has insisted repeatedly that he is not gay. She did question the timing of Jeese when they went public last month, but it seems has gotten on the bandwagon now. And she seems to really hate Ryan!

    ReplyDelete
  34. Lainey is bought and paid for so please don't put too much stock in what she prints. Have you noticed her shilling certain shows and movies? Do you think she does that spontaneously? Reese has publicists that make the KGB look disorganized. Someone tips Lainey everytime Reese is in TN doing something adorable with her children. So either agree with me that it is a conspiracy and Lainey is on the payroll or assume that Lainey is stupid and believes that a "tipster" is emailing her out of the blue (when we all know it's someone at BWR).

    They are so obvious. Their tactics haven't changed in years.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Reese has publicists that make the KGB look disorganized.

    LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  36. TR, you rock! But one question: What is BWR? (I'm a little brain-dead right now--too much food yesterday).

    ReplyDelete
  37. I will never forget when Lainey ran a blind item about Sophia Bush, about how Chad Michael Murray cheated her shortly after they got married and what a rat he was, bla bla bla. But then Lainey continued on by saying that the pain Sophia felt is nothing next to the pain she felt upon learning that her first post Chad love interest was gay as glitter. So let me get this straight, Austin (who Lainey was referring to) is gay as glitter but NOT JAKE!! OH NO! NOT HIM!! NO NO NO!!!

    The woman is on drugs.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Luke Wilson said of Reese "Lets just say I always tried to be on my best behavior around her".

    I can't wait to see how her de-balling of Vince Vaughn works out.

  42. No, JR. Weren't you shot?

  43. Anon 4:58, I bet your momma wouldn't want you to be using a number rather than a name. So pick one and make her proud. :)

    I think the sighting of Reese in TN for Thanksgiving is probably a PR plant. I do think she was there, but I think that PR leaked her whereabouts.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Ok, I'll take Lainey with a grain of salt then. I was wondering if anyone has heard anything about what and if Kevin Smith has to say about Reeke? He's long disliked and distrusted Reese from the get-go (he wrote about her on his blog a year or 2 ago), so I'm wondering if anyone has heard any comment from him. I haven't, but just curious if anyone else has. Maybe we should ask him. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  45. Typin' this from Brentwood, TN's neck a the woods, n' Reese must have liked slippin' through wet leaves n' sloggin' round soggy ground, 'cause on the day before Thanksgivin' it rained somethin' fierce here, not t' mention it bein' cold as a well digger's ass on Thursday.

    Seriously, it was cold and wet and generally nasty.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Firstly thanks for posting my favourite ever Austin photo, he's gorgeous and I absolutely love him.

    Secondly, how bad can this pr thing get for Jake. The more I read about Reeke the more I scream to myself 'how much is this guy paying these losers'.

    You really couldn't make it up. The whole 'engagement' thing is so ridiculous, it makes Jake look like a total needy loser (yeah, great idea to propose the day someone gets their divorce.. duh!). Also it just opens up sites like dlisted to post lots of really funny/nasty comments about both Jake and Reese. At the moment it like watching someone commiting a very slow professional suicide. This is really sad because I think we all want to see Jake do well, i just wish he would listen to people who are actually intelligent and know whats really going on.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Sorry I don't get one thing: if everyone here thinks that J&R are just bearding, covering up for Jake's real relationship, why do you hate Reese so much? Shouldn't she be considered a friend who is trying to help them out. Why do you have to poi nt out how bad and terrible and awful wife she used to be, Jake is just playing a facade with her, no so why are you so worried?

    ReplyDelete
  48. Exactly Wicked. Complete with adorable leaf kicking!! The sighting is clearly a PR plant.

    Here is my take on the PR machinations thus far:

    The problem was that after the People spread announcing the Reese and Jake's true love to the world the world's reaction was not good.

    The world said...."huh, I'm just not buying that"

    So the next step was the daily display of love. In the car, on the beach, hanging out at cool Hollywood parties.

    And yet still the world scoffed...

    So LITERALLY on messsageboards people were asked "what would it take for you to believe"?

    The world said "maybe if I saw Jake with the kids I would believe".

    Nanci and Evelyn really had to put their heads together because it would need to be really not stagey...hmmm....I could almost see Nanci twirling her hair thinking:

    "TRICK OR TREAT at a freaking paparazzi's house!! Then get really mad at him!! I'm a genius"

    And the world believed...that they were at least dating (but they still thought they were probably not having sex because of all the awkwardness and asexuality sizzling between them).

    So to add the hot sauce they spent a romantic weekend in Napa with lots of SEXY! PDA.

    And the world said "what a slut".

    So now we have a rebuffed marriage proposal SHE'S THINKING ABOUT THE CHILDREN PEOPLE!!! With adorable Thanksgiving leaf kicking.

    What have we learned? BWR was not closed for the holidays!

    Enjoy your leftover Turkey!

  49. At the moment it like watching someone commiting a very slow professional suicide.

    uh? Did Jake just pick up a role in a movie I don't know about? I think you guys are taking this way too seriously

    ReplyDelete
  50. WHY? They should be worried because Reese has her own reasons for going along with this and they are surely not friendship or altruism.

    ReplyDelete
  51. too serious.. not really, I was just making an observation. Actually I agree with what tr is saying above.

    It would be interesting to ask Jake / Reese's pr how badly this whole thing is going.

    It can't be going to plan, can it?

    (ps, Austin is truly lovely in that photo, isn't he)

    ReplyDelete
  52. TR- yup, the leaf kicking was what put it over the top for me too! All the little extra PR touches- the matching black outfits at LAX, the matching sunglasses, her feeding him in that video, it all just screams of somebody trying way too hard.

    Another point about Lainey-she has admitted to having a major crush on Jake and once posted a dream she had about meeting him! I'm sure other folks here remember it. She is a Jake fangirl all the way.

    ReplyDelete
  53. They should be worried because Reese has her own reasons for going along with this and they are surely not friendship or altruism."

    TR, are you saying Reese is using Jake?? Yikes. Say it's not so! (Just kidding). Honestly, it's very obvious to me why Jake would beard up with her--I think he was on his way to being outed (well, Ted did out him before Rome); and I think it's obvious to me why she would go along with this--to give it to her ex-husband, you know the one who abandoned her (cough) and cheated on her with that younger hussy (cough cough). Reese, with Jake, makes her more desirable to the world. Now she's not just a frumpy divorcee--she's a sexy woman. (gag).

    ReplyDelete
  54. Possibly we sound to some as though we are against Reese because, at base, we think a guy with a guy is okay and not a reason for shame and subterfuge.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I got a question. How many are you gay men or straight women? Has anyone here every encounter jake and austin? If Ted hadn't started "Toothy Tile" would this Jake and Austin rumored taken off? I don't know of any other celebrity who private life is taking apart piece by piece. If Jake was dating a "civilian" woman would you all accept it?

    ReplyDelete
  56. Since you asked sorta', kinda' nicely, Denise (aka troll)...

    1) Gay man.

    2) Have you ever had an encounter with Jake and Reese?

    3) Yes, it would have, because Ted is not the only person talking about Jaustin.

    4) No, because Jake is gay.

    ReplyDelete
  57. 1. straight man
    2. yes
    3. I doubt it
    4. Yes

  58. TR, what was your encounter with Jake and Reese? Can you tell us?

    If Ted hadn't started "Toothy Tile" would this Jake and Austin rumored taken off?

    Take a look at pics of them together, especially Lakers I, and you tell me.

    Aggies upset the Longhorns 38-30! Boo!

  59. No but it was work related.

    ReplyDelete
  60. TR, Were you overwhelmed with the Jake/Reese love during your encounter with them? Did you consider them the "perfect couple" and that they're "madly in love?"

    Bleech.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Gee, B'wayFan, TR comes onto a blog devoted to Jake and Austin and you think he's going to tell you Jake is straight and happy in love with a woman? After he made that lovely post at 5:58? No, seems to me he's right in line with everyone else's thinking here. :-)

    ReplyDelete
  62. I really don't know Jake and I haven't encountered him. I don't know if he is bi or gay but I did ask some friends who are spending the Holidays in NYC to do a little real digging for me.

    I have encountered Miss Witherspoon and lived but not to tell about it.

    It really is too easy to trace stories. There is an actress for example who is not very popular but is in a recently released movie that is getting a lot of press. She worked in theater in the past and once threw food at my friend. Seriously picked up a plate of food brought to her back stage said "I DID NOT ASK FOR THIS" and threw it at her. I would love to post her name but everyone would know who told the story (unless she constantly throws plates of food). Any way it's not Reese but you get the idea.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Answers to questions:

    1) Straight woman
    2) Never encountered Jake/Reese or Jake/Austin
    3) Wouldn't have thought much of Jake's sexuality but would have considered him ambiguous like a lot of other young male actors
    4) Sure, why not. But he's too much of an opportunist, so I don't see it.

    ReplyDelete
  64. TR, the fact that you refer to her as "Miss Witherspoon" tells me a lot. :)

    I was checking out the "latest news" on this newspaper website, the most important one here in Argentina and...what I read? Jake's rejection story in Spanish. Not only unbelievable, but silly too. Ridiculous. Jake's PR people are so pathetic!

    And the picture is disgusting

  69. Love this photo of Austin - he's looks absolutely gorgeous in it.

    Reeke's PR doesn't know when to leave well enough alone. It seems as though each new story/photo of Reeke is a response to the most recent internet rumblings. Everything just seems staged and reactive at this point. This "relationship" was more believable when we had no real evidence of it.

    ReplyDelete
  70. What's going on here? Why are we continuing to carp on a story that has absolutely no merit whatsoever? Even the Jeesers have moved on from this tabloid piece.

  71. Was unaware I needed your approval to discuss a topic here, Liz.

    Just a suggestion, but if the subject at hand is not to your liking, you could just move along quietly without typing your delusions of superiority.

  72. Long day of shopping and family. Finally back home and my home online here at OMG.

    Have to remember Jake is Reese's rebound guy. So that is all a part of the proposal rejection angle too.

    Watched the Texas & A&M game. Of course got a call when A&M won from my step sister who is an Aggie. Always an opportunity to gloat.

    But yeah for Boston and sad for LA.

  73. you could just move along quietly without typing your delusions of superiority

    I tend to agree with Liz, as I said earlier many people are taking this way too seriously and analizing every one single item in this thing. Just sulking along and throwing stuff at Jake or Reese won't really help. And snapping at someone else telling them they are delusional about their superiority for just saying their opinion makes it really look like you have an inferiority issue. You know there is always the option of stop following Jake's 24x7 moves if you don't like them and move on inot something more rewarding for you.

    ReplyDelete
  74. 4) No, because Jake is gay.

    Oh, and by the way, I think you should say 'no because I think Jake is gay' unless you can claim some serious insider knowledge, in which case I'll be delighted to hear all about it!

    ReplyDelete
  75. liz & too serious.. let people discuss what they want.

    The whole Reeke debacle has become something of a spectator sport anyway, you could almost take bets on when the happy photos of Reese and Jake frollicking in the autumn leaves will appear and which low grade tabloid is going to push them this time.

    Although its not fun seeing an actor you like basically lose his credibility through a series of badly staged photo ops, it is mawkishly compulsive.
