Going totally old school -- Grandmaster Flash said it best:
Dont push me, cause I'm close to the edge
I'm trying not to loose my head
Its like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder
How I keep from going under
And so does Ted - check it out:
"Couples Cashing In?
Since Reese and Jake have taken their relationship to the trick-or-treating level, we've got six more suggestions for fam-friendly outings! Plus, could booby babe Pam Anderson be having more hard times? Say it ain't so!
If you regularly read this column, you prolly know we haven't exactly been gulping down the Gyllenspoon Kool-Aid like the rest of the rags, wonder why? Something about the sudden PDA sessions in front of the paps right as Rendition premiered smelled stinky to us—among sundry other suspect celeb goings-on.But that was all before we saw the pics of Jake (or supposedly of Jake, as he was wearing a giant gorilla costume) trick-or-treating with Reese's tykes, Ava and Deacon. 'Cause, surely, if southern sweetie Reese is not only introducing Jake to her kids and having them all spend holidays together, there must be something more to their relationship...right?
Unless...of course, it's all just one big PR ploy to sell a dead movie, and certain other parties—who mysteriously don't make it into press-release-esque photos of the dimpled duo—have always been there in the background, too, and Reese and Jake are just good buds. For ince, could Ryan still be hangin' round, trying to slink back with his fresh ex? Just a question here, dearies, and a preachy proviso to not always gobble up everything you read, this missive included.
In any case, since Reese 'n' Jake seem to be serious about whatever it is they're embarking on, we Awful busybodies came up with a Sick-Sick Six tally for more family (and photo) friendly outings the two hons should so plan:
6. Hike Runyon Canyon: Jake can bring his great gams and two pooches along while the whole happy clan goes thigh busting (Reese breaks a mean sweat at many things, don't forget) in the Hollywood Hills. Love!
5. Hit Pinkberry: Come on, what kid doesn't love dessert? Plus, this frozen whatever chain is popular with H'wood types, because if you binge on it, supposedly you can still squeeze into your skinny jeans. Who cares 'bout all that fake crap it's filled with—hey, at least you'll stay svelte. Reese and Jake gotta keep those figures fab, right?
4. Head Down to Disneyland: It's called the Happiest Place on Earth for a reason (and we don't just mean because Lindsay really knows how to get hap-happy at the joint). 'Cause, really, you can't quite call yourself a celeb couple until you've gotten pics together wearing those mouse ears, n'est-ce pas? Bonus points if Ava, Deacon and Jake can convince Reese to ride Space Mountain with 'em!
3. Take Your Very Lives into Your Hands, Darlings, and Go to the Grove: Reach out and touch those who actually seem to be buying this silliness that you all are the hottest twosome since Pam 'n' Rick. This outdoor shopping center, complete with cinema, Cheesecake Factory and an actual trolley you can ride on top of (not sure Jake would like, though) is one of the best spots to bring your kids, if you like that breeder kinda thang. Paparazzi are allowed inside, ensuring easy access to headline-hungry A-listers. It was one of Victoria Beckham's first stops with her boys when she moved here.
2. Go Get Mani-Pedis Together! Hey, the fam that pampers their piggies together, stays together. Just ask Kate Beckinsale and Len Wiseman, who are often seen getting their tootsies done with daughter Lily.
1. Get Floor Seats at the Lakers Game: We already know Jake's a basketball fan, as he used to hit these games with Austin Nichols, like, all the time. And if Reese isn't into B-ball, she'll just have to pretend. Think ya can, girlfriend?"
Thanks Hjulia for the link.

When you post, did you know you click the other button and you too can name yourself?
ReplyDeleteDon't like what you parents named you?
Name yourself what you really wanted to be called.
Go by the inner diva name.
Go by your drag name. Player name. Pirate name.
Identity it's yours for the picking.
All I can say about this is -
ReplyDeleteOh My Godot! ;)
OMG indeed... Ted sounds pissed and he has a reason to.
ReplyDeleteRemember that one column Ted did called "Toothy Vile?" It was right after Jeese went public. I thought that was also a call-out to Jake.
ReplyDeleteThe only way the HW closeting system won't work is if people don't buy it. If it's fake, say it's fake and keep saying it!
Wicked, I think there's enough reasonable doubt - and I don't think it's what he wants. :)
ReplyDeleteOMG on so many levels. We ask and Ted delivers. Wow!
ReplyDeleteWhat is a amazing it that this has just a week since this all started and it is not whispers of fake. But shouts of fake. People are not buying it. And they are telling HW.
ReplyDeleteI think this is more about HW doing this than just Jake. That HW is still hung up on closeting. When you look at Jake's face you can see his miserable doing this. I know that many people think Jake agreed to this and he needs to be held accountable. And he does have some accountability indeed. But looking at the bigger picture that HW is still pressuring their stars stay in. And people are saying why? Why are they doing this. Society has changed and is still changing but HW is make the public feel like they are too stupid or phobic to accept gay leading men.
I think it is more about HW insulting people now.
Remember Ted talking about Toothy's great legs?
ReplyDeleteand this from his newest:
"Hike Runyon Canyon: Jake can bring his great gams
Sounds like Ted is a leg man.
Was Ted calling Jake a bottom in that post??
ReplyDeleteTed is like Oprah: i am not buying it. lol!
ReplyDeletei agree... HW is insulting the public, in a way, they are just plain lazy, doing things the safe old way and thinking ths is what the public wants.
the film that jake is attached to, "Nailed' is to be directed by david O'Russell who made the first Bourne Identity... remember what jake said about Matt Damon? it's no coincidence, jake probably wants to be like Damon with a successful box-office success role under his belt. and somehow people around him convinced him that the only way to get such roles is to do it the old-fashioned "straight" way.
i enjoyed the Bourne series, but i hardly think it has much to do with Matt Damon as an actor. Jake could do better than that as an actor.
Anon 11:17- yes. And you need a name. I'm going to call you Bottom Wonderer unless you come up with something better.
ReplyDeleteHi 11:17
ReplyDeleteGotta name for today?
I think the thing is that people are forgetting that Jake is a human being. While I wish things were different with him, I don't think making fun of him is helping at all. I think all this singling out of one actor, who for sure isn't the only "gay" actor in hollywood is unfair. Making fun of him is probably one of the main reasons why other actors didn't do BBM, etc. I love knowing about Jake and Austin but the scrutiny is too much.
ReplyDeleteAustin is yesterday's news. I'm Jake's man.
ReplyDeleteThanks Thoughtful
ReplyDeleteYou are right he is human. They are just two guys who want to be together. I am not angry with them, because I think the pressure from the TPTB are greater than anyone realizes. I am more angry at the HW system who feels that there is something wrong if you fall in love with someone who they feel is not right.
^ Exactly - wanting a person to be authentic isn't making fun of them. We're all ticket-buying fans here - I just don't recognise Two Beards as Jake :(
ReplyDeleteAnyone else wondering if Reese's kids even saw the man inside the suit, or if it was just a good idea for a photo op involving the kids without exposing them to another real guy?
Jake is making a choice to participate in the HW closeting system. The fact that he made that choice is on him.
ReplyDeleteHW has decided that the only way for someone to be an A list actor is for him to appear straight. So HW demands that all actors who want to be A list appear straight and sets up a closeting system. The existence of that closeting system is on HW.
I really do think HW is behind the times and this closeting crap is unnecessary. That is the message I want to send to both HW and Jake. Plus, most of the time the actors who participate in the closeting system still can't get rid of the rumors. These actors get involved in relationships that their fans can tell are fake and it makes them look bad.
Hi again,
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, I didn't mean my post above to sound like I am putting Jake on trial with my "reasonable doubt" comment, certainly not! Just a figure of speech. No, I am absolutely not angry with him, more concerned, but maybe I shouldn't be. He just doesn't seem to be himself. I agree with Special, times have changed and this type of think is no longer necessary. I discovered him as a wonderful actor in BBM; he will always be a handsome, dashing, romantic figure in movies to me, I've loved all of his roles. He should be able to be who he is and be happy, and still have the career he wants.
Maybe Reese’s kids know Jake as a close family friend and not their mother's 'boyfriend' as it is the intention of the Halloween photo op. Perhaps they know Austin too.
ReplyDeleteThe In Touch Poll:
ReplyDeleteINSTANT POLL
Do you think Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal's relationship is real?
Yes 70%
No 30%
The TMZ poll had at least 65% believing. So despite the snarky online chatter, most of the mainstream rags are buying it including People, Us and Ok.
scylla: If you and Cristina Gibson would have aken a look at he pics on IHJ dated 10/31 you could see that Jake is wearing a pair of sneakers the same pair he wore while trick or treating in the gorilla suit. It was him, most fans recognized his hands right off.
Has anyone asked Ted and Christina about Rese taking her kids to MV in Aug.?
PS: Gibson is a Reese/Ryan fangil, LOL!
wt, very good point - I think you're right.
ReplyDeleteHi pr, if you and your many aliases had read my comment properly, I wasn't querying the ID of the guy inside the suit, I was wondering if Reese's kids knew it was him. Since I am fortunate enough to have a heuristic brain, I'm now fully persuaded by wt's argument.
Did you miss our discussion about the skewed TMZ poll, by the way? The percentages didn't alter despite thousands of new votes being registered.
Wicked, but you don't know 100% that Jake is in the HW closeting system.
ReplyDeleteSpecial, I understand what you are saying but really people have continually been mocking and making fun of Jake. "Jokes" about Jake always being a bottom, stereotyping, not a real man, etc.
I remember last year i read a comment some place, can`t remember where, but there was a person who said Jake had checked in at a hotel with a guy named Justin. I don`t know if it`s true and when it happened. Can`t remember the place either, but it wasn`t in Hollywood. I remember he/she said the other guy`s name was Justin. Come to think of this comment now after we`ve heard about the model.
ReplyDeleteJ
ReplyDeleteI am going to do things to you till make you makes sounds like a monkey.
; )
A
Thoughtful, no I don't know 100% that Jake is participating in the HW closeting system. I just very, very strongly suspect it. When someone is participating in closeting, it would be very hard to know 100%, that's the whole point. They're trying very hard to hide it.
ReplyDeleteIf i`m not completely wrong, i think the comment i read last year was on Perez. I think the person said he/she had worked at that hotel, and i think it happenend in 2004 or 2005. It can of course be bullshit, but just strange with the name. It was not in L.A or New-York.
ReplyDeleteIf they hooked up in 2004, Justin wasn't 21 y.o. yet. I know it means nothing, but still.
ReplyDelete^2004/2005 so Justin was pre-Austin perhaps?
ReplyDeleteIf Jake were just some gay guy hitting the clubs and going out with many different men, I don't think Ted would be so adamant about pushing him to come out. It's because he knows Jake is deeply in love with one man that he does this. After all, Ted is in a long term relationship himself and seems to be a romantic. By the way, what day did this article appear?
ReplyDeleteI don't want any part of a system that would pressure an actor to be something they are not in order to appeal to fans. I feel badly that I as a fan may have unknowingly helped to further this outdated thinking, because I do find Jake incredibly talented and appealing, onscreen. But that doesn't mean I expect him to be str8t - his sexuality in real life doesn't matter. For the record, HW, I don't think women need a leading man to be straight, any more than they Patrick Dempsey to be a real neurosurgeon. An actor is playing a role, that's all. It's much better for a person to be who they really are.
ReplyDeleteAnd Justin Schmustin, who cares? It's Jake and Austin now. :)
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteYou know what I'd like to see, I'd like so see some reporter really grill David Geffen about HW and closeting. The problem starts at the top, too bad he doesn't have the balls to say it's okay to have an openly gay actor in a big movie. As mad as I am about Jake doing this, I have to remind myself that if people who have the power and money to change things don't do, it is perhaps unfair to expect someone like Jake to do it. On the other hand, someone has got to take that first step.
ReplyDeleteAnd that Guardian article shows how HW still doesn't get it about all this tabloid stuff. That plus I think more than ever people go to the movies because of the story, not the stars.
Regarding the In Touch poll, when I first looked at it the numbers were more like 54 % didn't believe it; but polls like this can be manipulated, all the fangurls probably went and voted 100 times each.
Here is the result of the In Touch Online poll, that were printed in this week's In Touch.
ReplyDeleteIn Touch Online Poll Result
I remember reading on the E online message board that Jake checked into a hotel in Hawaii in May/june '05 while he was there for some film festival and doing surfing photo ops. They checked in and passed him off as his PA. He worked in the hotel. He didn't recognize him at the time but when pics of Chris became more frequent in '06, they said that Chris was the guy that Jake was with at that time.
ReplyDeleteFor those who were asking, Austin wasn't on FNL last night. It's pretty definite that he'll be on the Nov. 16 episode (the description mentions that Julie befriends and/or confides in one of her teachers during that episode). Whether he'll be on before that is unknown.
ReplyDeletethe chris distraction trick just don't work no more. you need anew tactic
ReplyDeleteSK: They seem to be running 2 polls, one was done online and prined in their current ed. and the one that is stil online and open and is still at 70% yes, real and 3%, no.
ReplyDeleteSpesh, wow so InTouch printed a poll where 56% of people said they thought Jeese was fake. I guess PR and fangirls got wind of it and are now voting in the current online poll.
ReplyDelete?
ReplyDeleteThat might be true.
It is interesting how the numbers have flipped. When the internet is still crying fake fake.
I guess we will have to wait and see.
I am sure there PR people are tracking the numbers to see if this plan is working.
bs, no it's not a distraction/trick, I read it on one of your favorite sites,the eonine message board on one of the TT threads. And if you are so positive that there is nothing going on then or ever that you shouldn't get nervous about a 2 year old bit. Chris has gone with Jake to several official events including the Academy awards, the Gala awards last October and most recently, the TIFF so why are you bent out of shape that perhaps he went with Jake to Hawaii for a film festival? I think it was the Maui FF. Go check the TT threads over on E.Geez.
ReplyDeleteCould be two separate sightings. I`m almost certain the one i saw named the guy Justin, but it could be a fake sighting. I remember thinking maybe it was Austin with him and they got the name wrong. Justin and Austin are very similar names.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious why this Awful Truth column isn't on E!... Do you think it will be up on Monday or do you think the E! lawyers made Ted take it down? Whatever the reason it certainly shows that Ted is not backing down. It makes me believe that he has very good sources for his info.
ReplyDeleteI'm also sure that the fangirls are voting constantly to change the numbers on the Reeke relationship poll. I still don't know why PR would be so concerned about what the online fans think - you'd think that they would have all learned their lesson from "Snakes on a Plane". As far as I can tell Jake's fandom seems rabid on the internet but he is still largely unknown by the general public. My guess is that Reese will help to increase his name recognition but it won't make that much difference in the long run. I still truly believe that people will like you better for just being yourself than for being the false representation of one of their fantasies.
ted says nothing new but he doesn't buy jeese LOL
ReplyDeletenot surprising
I think Ted's column will be on E! online on Monday.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the polls are fixed and people vote several times, then the results are neither accurate nor representative of what people really think.
IMO Reeke is aimed to the mainstream public and not online fandom, so I believe PR people don't care about the scepticism shown on online gossip sites. The main target of the charade is printed tabloids. The general public will definitely buy this couple without hesitation just because there are pictures and articles about them in magazines and they won’t think further about it.
Oh my! I just came online and read Ted's new column (I wonder why Yahoo is running it before E--it does look like Monday's column). Nasty, nasty, nasty. Well let me see. Ted calls Jake a bottom, tells Jake/Reese to go to this mall because that's where paps can photographt them the most effectively (and refers to them as "headline-hungry A-listers"), drops Austin's name in and the last line "she'll just have to present--think ya can, girlfriend"--is a total dig to Reese. But this line takes the case: Reach out and touch those who actually seem to be buying this silliness that you all are the hottest twosome since Pam 'n' Rick."
ReplyDeleteTed has thrown down the gauntlet. Good for him.
FYI, isn't it interesting that In Touch mentioned the gay rumors-including the recent one Gatecrasher ran about the Jeese faux-mance BUT they didn't mention anything about Toothy Tile or Ted's rumors (which I'm sure they must know about)?
pretend--not present--sorry.
ReplyDelete"they didn't mention anything about Toothy Tile or Ted's rumors (which I'm sure they must know about)?"
ReplyDeletemaybe they don't buy ted
proof=credibility remember
we have jeese pics , we must have jausty pics!
...maybe they don't buy Ted
ReplyDeleteOr don't want to mention Ted because Perez is their guy :)
Anon 2:53 and 3:21- please read Special K's first post on this thread. It tells you how to pick a name for yourself. Spesh and I have decided we may have to start killing people who post anon.
ReplyDeleteIMO ted is worth perez and perez is worth ted
ReplyDeleteTed's latest comments are exactly what I meant by making fun of Jake. Again, I love J&A but I really wish Ted would leave Jake alone already. I think he goes to far in regards to Jake's (and J&A's) personal life. I don't see any other actor hounded this way. I am sure most here will disagree but that is how I feel.
ReplyDeleteMentions by Ted of Jake's legs:
ReplyDelete"March 24 2005 BI, Ted wrote: ...could this be why handsome Tooth (whose legs, I feel, have been vastly undersold, thanks to his mega-charming smile)... and, in the May 26th edition Ted wrote: Jake Gyllenhaal, hiking up Hell-Ay's Runyon Canyon with his midsize pooch and stud-worthy abs. He was all by his lonesome, sporting a short buzz job and baggy shorts, but who the hell could see if the gams were any good, what with those blinding tummy muscles...Whew!"
"I`m almost certain the one i saw named the guy Justin, but it could be a fake sighting."
ReplyDeleteStill very interesting that you remember the name of Justin from a long time before this new BI emerged. Not a Toothy BI but a named Jake.
Wasn't me. ;)
ReplyDelete"Ted's latest comments are exactly what I meant by making fun of Jake. Again, I love J&A but I really wish Ted would leave Jake alone already. I think he goes to far in regards to Jake's (and J&A's) personal life. I don't see any other actor hounded this way."
ReplyDeleteit's the reason why some think it's totally crap
ted loves his readers
I was the one Jake was with two weeks ago before he went off to Rome and was with Reese. He needed some of what I could give him, some of my tasty man meat before putting up with her Holy Boringness. I couldn't believe that ANYONE could mistake me for that dull as dirt nitwit actor. Please, he only dreams he has what I have.
ReplyDeleteAnd he's a sucky actor too. All of his shows get cancelled.
Uh, uh, honey - that wasn't you, and my lips are sealed. Excuse me for saying so, but you seem like the type of guy who has "a great house, but nobody's home." Jake needs a man like Austin, beautiful on the outside, and a few lights on upstairs! Sorry, love. ;)
ReplyDeleteI only hope Jake never has the misfortune of meeting any of you pervs.
ReplyDeleteBy the way I saw Jke and Reese TOGETHER in Paris just after he was at Cannes (and there was no one else).
They are together and after all this time surely you must be aware of that, but you will keep dreaming, you poor misguided souls.
Anon 5:50- hi Broadwing! We all know it's you, hon. You might as well use a name.
ReplyDeleteNot so fast Dunstin
ReplyDeleteWith you in New York before Rome? Make me laugh.
The only man that can make Jake smile like that is me. I know all the ways to make him grin. Just try and wipe that grin off his face.
I do print, television AND Movies - can you even read a script? Or a magazine, or do you just get them for the pictures of yourself?
Despite being a tb I find it hard to believe Jeese is a bearding relationship for the reasons Ted mentioned above: I think of Reese as a little Southern pixie, a letter-day Doris Day! I don't even know why I have this fixed mental image of her - a testament to her great PR, I guess. (Despite stories that she's actually hard as nails under the sweet surface). And she's been married and having kids in her 20's rather than falling out of clubs in the am.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand last year before Jake and Reese had even started working on Rendition I remember reading some silly article where a "pal" (tabloid writer) said they would make a great couple because neither of them were into HW parties.
And lo, it came to pass. Another coincidence?
"By the way I saw Jke and Reese TOGETHER in Paris just after he was at Cannes (and there was no one else)."
ReplyDeleteYou are an international traveller aren't you troll? What were you doing in Paris when you happened to bump into Jake. Do tell us all about it.
Oh please --
ReplyDeleteFeeding trolls leads to no where good -- they just get full of themselves and explode, leaving behind a nasty mess someone has to clean up.
Starving them, now that works, it helps them whither away.
max, you need to watch some desperate housewives - women like that are more determined to get what they want :)
ReplyDeleteactually i remember that article too, how they would make a great couple before Rendition started filming (it was on imdb news section too), but that only makes me more suspicious... that it's in the PR pipeline to make them a couple.
Wow, I actually forgot about that chatter saying Jake and Reese would make a good couple! How, I don't know, but...well now. What a cosmic coincidence that it came to pass.
ReplyDeleteBroadwing? Winged insects at our 5-star hotel?! Quelle horreur!Anybody got a can of Raid?
ReplyDeleteHere's a can, Hotel Concierge! Spray away!
ReplyDeleteVIDEOof Jake w/RDJ at the concert from a couple of days ago. Clearly shows Jake was being driven. Good for him. Click on "Watch Flash Preview."
ReplyDeleteAlso, VIDEO of outside the Letterman show. Again, click "Watch Flash Preview."
"and certain other parties—who mysteriously don't make it into press-release-esque photos of the dimpled duo—have always been there in the background, too, and Reese and Jake are just good buds."
ReplyDeleteI like the implication that Austin has always been in the background.
Hey! Who you callin' a perv, 5:50?
ReplyDeletepr, suggest you take another look, the shoes are not the same. sorry if someone has already mentioned this....
ReplyDeleteAnother point, I find it odd that it was Reese who confronted the paps while Jake hung back with her kids. Shouldn't it be the other way around? that Jake went up to the paps while Reese protected her kids? unless of course it got nasty with the paps and the monkey head came off and me, oh, my who is this?!
Just wondering.....
"But that was all before we saw the pics of Jake (or supposedly of Jake, as he was wearing a giant gorilla costume) trick-or-treating with Reese's tykes, Ava and Deacon."
ReplyDeleteIs Ted also implying that it may not be Jake?
"...and the monkey head came off..."br/>
ReplyDeleteThat made me lol.
I think it was both Jake and Austin in that costume.
ReplyDeleteI just read the US WEEKLY article about Jake and Reese "trick or treating" once again. I have to say: They must totally be in love. I mean, every chance they got, they flirted. The article says they did this when her kids rang on other peoples doors hoping to get some candy. They even ran after eachother in circles. OH OH... Jake also often lifted his mask to kiss Reese, and of course, he tried to scare her son. He just laughed. So sweet!!! You know, if the boy got scared, that would be a dreadful thing to report, don`t you all think? So sweet, ahh...too bad no one got these sweet moments on tape.
ReplyDeleteHow can anyone believe this crap? I have to wonder. What is it about Hollywood and their stars?
Do they think everybody are simply stupid?
Yes Jake is a human being but so are Britney, Tom Cruise, Justin Timberlake, Jessica Biel, Brangelina, Jennifer Aniston and all the rest that get slagged off all over the net on a regular basis.
ReplyDeleteAre all these people defending Jake also defending all the other celebs as well?
Even with this past week, Jake is still treated way better than most of these others.
Ted still refers to Vaughaniston as fake because he will always believe it was fake. Same with Jeese. Would you prefer Ted to just fall into line with all the other sheep?
Buy whatever HW is selling?
And for all of you jumping on and defending Jeese, I'll say it again. Why are you? If you believe this to be real, does it really matter what anyone else thinks? Does it matter what the online polls say? Does what someone else say sway your decision? Or are you not quite sold on Jeese yourselves?
I feel for Reese's kids and I hope they get through this okay. Their mother is the target of so much scorn right now, but regardless they are still just innocents. When I heard of what that paparazzi said about scaring her kids, I understood the impulse some stars have to lash out.
ReplyDeletewhen i read the book about norwegian celebrities, where the autor was a former employee of the magazine, i notised a couple of things.- One time the autor, when he was still working for the magazine, wrote a biography of our crown-princess, Mette-Marit. The book was published by the same company who was behind the magazine.
ReplyDeleteThe book didn`t sell very good, so the autor, after press from above, suddenly got another important job to do. - He had to try sell the book through writing comments in newspapers and so on. He had to pretend he was a thirteen-year-old girl. He had to pretend he was an old lady, an much between. He had to try write how a person that age would do, but they all had the same message in the end: " The book is well worth you`r money!"
Sometimes the magazine got caught in some very heathed discussions, and it often ended in a tabloid-studio. A place for discussions. Both parts meet to argue while the whole nation can watch through the tv.- When the magazine(se og hør, that mentioned Jake, Austin and the surrogate-baby),was a part of this, they had their employees at work. -The tv-programe always let sivil people ring in at the end of the show to speak their minds.
Of course the magazine`s employess were much needed at work that day. They had to call, pretending to be some person defending the magazine.
I know this have nothing to do with Jake and Austin, but behind the scenes...so much going on!
ag, I could not give a shit about Aniston Brangelina etc, that's why I don't run around trying to defend them. I think this should be good enough explanation, as far as I am concerned. To all those jumping on the Jake is a ass for bearding with Reese and leaving poor Austin in the corner... I beg your pardon? Are you really really sure the one with the most to loose is Jake, should they come out tomorrow? Who would be called Jake's bf for the rest of eternity no matter what he does or doesn't do as an actor even way after perhaps he and Jake are no more? Who would be refereed to as the one who shags Jake to get int the spotlight, considering how he has been attacked in similar fashion just because he showed up on a basketball court with Jake? How totally ennoying. Sorry, but I don't really see it as this one way, clear to explain situation. Ausitn has his good reasons to be in. Or he would have walked out.
ReplyDeleteWhy are you defending the right to diss on Jake and Jake only all the time? Ah, forgot you are Austin's fan, not Jake's.
I think it was both Jake and Austin in that costume.
ReplyDeleteThey would've both fit, now wouldn't they?
I know that the last week has been really long with all the Reeke stuff coming out.
ReplyDeleteBut can we please not let this become a Jake vs. Austin discussion?
I'm pretty sure that neither Jake nor Austin would want the other to be put down just so they can look better.
So if you're a fan of one and you're putting the other down in the process you're also doing the same to the one you're a fan of.
I think this bearding was a mutual decision. If Jake and Austin are still together, the decision to participate in the creation of a fake high profile relationship with Reese was something they both agree and decided together.
ReplyDeleteI don't think there are victims in this arrangement and everybody who is a part of it decided to participate.
I think Austin will have a public girlfriend soon too.
I was shocked when i read the book, because the magazine is famous for their sunshine-celebrity-stories.
ReplyDeleteThey are because they cooperate with the celebrities. The famous ones can choose what they want to have printed under their names. If they don`t cooperate- they will experience the pressure. The magazine will not give up on them and the M. sit on a lot of information. Information of the celebrities` dark sides and family-members`. They threaten them to cooperate, so they won`t tell the world you`r daughter is a lesbian or you`r wife has had an affair...and so on.
Remember..i live in Norway. Our biggest idol is the U.S.A!
Boy, NG, Norway is just a hotbed of scandal!
ReplyDeleteStubborn, I agree. I really hate to see either Jake or Austin trashed here. I think that if this is a bearding relationship they both knew about it and agreed to it.
Wicked, i think it`s a lot of scandal in my country because one person REALLY dared to speak the truth. If someone dared the same way in you`r counrty, the scandal would be double, at least. We take from you. You are our "idol"!
ReplyDeleteStubborn, I agree as well.
ReplyDeleteI would think each of them would be tremendously hurt to think that people are pitting them against each other. How could you not be upset if the person you love is being trashed.
I agree with you Wicked - if it is what it is - that both know about the bearding thing and agreed to it.
The corporations own Hollywood, which is why you see such safe, homogenized output that plays to the lowest common denominator. It's for for lack of desire to be bold, or talent, it's just most there live under the stranglehold of threatened blacklisting. It's very real. A friend of mine who will be affected by the WGA walkout drove this home to me. Unfortunately, I can see this blacklisting happening to Jake and Austin if they dare to come out. We like to imagine they'd change things, but the truth is the corporations have deeper pockets than ever before have stifled truly free speech out there. Oh, you can speak up for yourself and gain admirers, but you'll never work again at the level you'd like. They'll make sure of it.
ReplyDeleteIn this particulare magazine i have often seen photos of couples so in love, though they were surprised by the photografers and won`t comment. Hmm...surprised, still have eachother`s tongues fighting a wresling-game while both owners are smiling in the middle of nowhere where no photograferes were expected? Please!
ReplyDeleteThey did this because of the pressure. The picks is a way to explain the lack of interviews they won`t give. Staged, of course, but it`s a deal they have agreed on.
I do print, television AND Movies - can you even read a script? Or a magazine, or do you just get them for the pictures of yourself?"
ReplyDeleteNot only am I a model and I'm sure I make more in a day than you have in your entire second-rate career, but I'm also an actor and I'm appearing on Broadway right now in the revival of Terrence McNally's "The Ritz." That's Broadway, Austard, not off-Broadway or off-off Broadway. BROADWAY. So yes, I can read a script. But even if I couldn't, Jake certainly didn't care one bit.
By the way, my passion is architecture. What's yours, Austard?
Jake Gyllenhaal Smacks Paparazzi
ReplyDeleteJake Gyllenhaal (26) was in Beverly Hills riding as a passenger when he decided to reach out and smack a paparazzi’s camera. It’s possible the paparazzi were once again too close to the car. Better to get your camera smacked than have your foot run over.

My point is: Jake is responsible for what he chooses to do, but, at least, i think he`s very much pressured from the above. I feel for him, but, as long as he follows their rules, he ain`t making a better future for himself or the people behind him.
ReplyDeleteIt`s totally up to him if he want`s to be a part of the progress or not.

ReplyDeleteMy passion -- Jake.
Jake's passion - me.
Nuff' said.
The Ritz? You play the 8th patron of 12, at the Baths -- oh that's a stretch. Acting? That's just doing what you do on Friday nights.
A little more on those who pull the strings: E! Entertainment, who Ted is an employee of, is also owned by Comcast, a conglomerate that also partly owns United Artists and MGM studios. Comcast put in a bid to BUY the entire Walt Disney Company (another huge conglomerate with many media holdings, including major studios in Hollywood) for $66 billion dollars. The day may come when all of Hollywood, from studios to cable networks, print media and distribution will be owned by the same few conglomerates.
ReplyDeleteIf Jake and Austin want to work in Hollywood, that's the kind of power they would be up against, so don't judge them too harshly for being scared.

ReplyDeleteThat's a scary thought, Bicoastal Biz. Look at what corporate ownership has done to radio.
Looks like Jake has a full time body guard. To protect from who?
ReplyDeletewhile i don't condone any actor engaging in bearding, i can also see why they are doing it.
ReplyDeleteLately I've been watching a few mystery-thrillers DVD of Richard Stevenson's books (gay mystery writer), and Chad Allen is lead (the gay P.I). While he's not an A-list, I dread to see Jake's career becoming like his. While all these movies are good enough, they are just small films that wasted Allen's acting ability.
Well, Wicked you got your wish. New pics of Jake at IHJ coming from the Staples Center and he is fully shaved! Don't recognize the guy he is with but it isn't Austin or Chris. 10:36, he only seemed to have the bodyguard when doing Rendition promotion.
ReplyDeleteShouldn't have gotten excited. The discussion on IHJ makes it seem like these may be old pics. Jake's hair is a bit longer than just the other day with the altercation with the pap. Plus, Jake did say he needed the beard for Brothers.
ReplyDeleteThe Clippers did play the Warrior last night at the Staples Center.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they let Jake shave it off, even though it was for Brothers, after they saw it on the wardrobe - hair make up tests.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it didn't read well, and they wanted him to shave it off.
The guy that is driving in the pictures seems to be one of Austins friends from the Borders pictures, just with a little gained weight.
ReplyDeleteIf the pictures really are new, could that be a shout-out to us that he and Austin are still ging strong?
That guy looks older than both of Austin's friends from the Borders pic.
ReplyDeleteI notice Jake is wearing a Livestrong cap.
11:15
ReplyDeletePlease see the first comment on the post.
So what should we call you? Quarter after?
Stubborn TB, I think you're right. Same guy. I have all those Borders pics, just compared them to the Staples ones. The shirt makes him look different, older, but I think it's the same guy. Look at the IHJ pic of him from the front of the car, I think its the same face. Now we just gotta find out when the Staples pics were taken?
ReplyDeleteI really hate to see either Jake or Austin trashed here. I think that if this is a bearding relationship they both knew about it and agreed to it
ReplyDeleteHope you realize that is exactly my point. I have not, and never will, trash one in favor of the other. I just think Jake has been perceived as covering his ass only, with no regard for Austin and that is what I vehemently disagree with.
And if they were taken last night, is Jake a Clippers fan?
ReplyDeleteBtw Reese didn't look too good at that Child Defence party thing she went to the other night. A lot of the comments on various sites said she looked "rough." Anyway, I hate to say it, but let's hope she looked bad because Jake "broke up" with her. Or she caught him with someone. Or she can't handle Reeke anymore. Heres to hoping and wishing and praying.
ReplyDeleteI find it odd that it was Reese who confronted the paps while Jake hung back with her kids. Shouldn't it be the other way around?
ReplyDeleteme too (just because I got kids )
It's struck me after I saw the picture of him snapping at paps- What was that?
Late manly reaction, the action which he could make that evening but he didn't do anything???
Goofing around your girlfriend as 14 years old is apparently appealing , fain, but when comes to serious unpleasant situation with paps isn't serious boyfriend, potential stepfather and father supposed to be protecting his beloved with her kid suite and not to run away on the other sidewalk and let her handle the matter alone?
I know he doesn't have kids thus yet he doesn't have developed that protective instinct toward the children but simply it should be there this male/man's ( if he has ever felt like that- man by her side) primary instinct to protect women, kids...in troubles.
That's why I was wondering if it even was Jake in monkey costume with Reese or else it should be more important sign to her than to us.
of course I don't know what happen after camera went off( if he was brave after), sorry, this is just my opinion about situation I saw
Some has already said the game between the Clipper and the Warriors was last night.
ReplyDeleteHere is the link to the Clipper schedule:
Clipper 2007-2008 Schedule
Open, those aren't his kids. It's simply not his instinct to do that; of course, it's Reese's. She's their mother. (I bet if Ryan was there, that would be his instinct as well because he's their father)
ReplyDeleteFor instance, when I cross a street with my father and cars are coming, my father immediately steps ahead of me and puts his arm out as if to stop me from going further and protect me from the cars. He does it all the time because it's instinct with him because he's my dad. And by the way, he's 70 and I'm over 30. So it's not like I'm some young kid either. It's just instinct. Jake doesn't have that toward Reese's kids because again he's not their father and despite what the rags and the Jeese fans would like you to believe, he's not in a serious relationship with Reese and therefore not attached to her kids.
Special K, I wasn't doubting the Clipper schedule, just why Jake would be a Clipper fan???!!! I'm out here in LA, anyone else who is also will know that my comment was meant to be funny. Being for the Clippers is kinda like being a Chicago Cubs fan... ;)
ReplyDeleteOr Texas Rangers (even worse)!
ReplyDeleteBut people on IHJ are wondering if the pics are current. Because the Lakers play at Staples, too. So it could have been taken at Staples at some other time. I guess we'll be able to tell by the beard. The hairy one. The one on his face. OK, how about NOT THE REESE ONE?!
I wonder what the picture is of he's holding in his hand.
ReplyDeleteCurious, what picture? I don't see Jake holding anything in either hand in any of the Staples Center pics?
ReplyDeleteJake is a Laker's fan not dure why he would go see the Clipper unless they play Lakers. I kind of think these pics are old. His hairs looks significantly longer than 2 days ago. Not sure what's going on. But these days nothing happening around Jake makes sense :(
ReplyDeleteHe is holding what appears to be a picture in the first couple pics on the ihj thread.
ReplyDeleteThe pics are of Baby Tile.
ReplyDeleteInteresting article about Heath in the Sunday New York Times Arts & Leisure section: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/04/movies/moviesspecial/04lyal.html?_r=1&ref=movies&oref=slogin
ReplyDelete^^Thanks for that fascinating article about Heath from the Times, Broadway fan. I'd forgotten how much I admire him too. He's so private, I didn't know these things - chess playing, how he approaches his work, etc. I'm really looking forward to I'm Not There. :)
ReplyDeleteFor what it's worth, the shoes he wore on the 10/23 and the morning of the 10/31 are the same as in the new pics......he seems to have changed them only for the monkey suit. Was monkey man jake??
ReplyDeleteHe seems to have changed his cap...what! not wearing the red sox cap anymore?!
So...the beard was not for 'Brothers'? another lie, jake? Why?
ReplyDelete^^LOL - I noticed the same shoes too, and the way this primate walks and carries himself - it's definitely Jake in the gorilla suit, IMO. That makes me think the Clippers pics are recent. I wondered why the pap only seemed to focus on Reese in that awful video too, and not her silverback male, and why said silverback male didn't scare off the paps from the little ones. You're right, Broadwayfan, it's instinct. Were they even at the same place at the same time?
ReplyDeleteSorry, my LOL was for Shoe Freak's post at 1:42. No need to continue to wear the Red Sox cap now, it's job is done! ;)
ReplyDeleteNo hint of a smile in the new pics. Actually he looks rather miserable. Austin must have left for Uruguay and what with all the Reeke crap...o-oh!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't look as if he wants to shout anything from the roof tops!!
No, it doesn't! :( I hate that HW sets up this crap, if that's what's happening. Please don't misinterpret my teasing comments anyone, I think the world of Jake, and I loved the gorilla suit! I love his sense of humor. If he really is with Reese, I wish them much happiness, same for he and Austin. :)
ReplyDeleteGorillas in the mist . . . makes me think of our "mist" poster, have they been able to find their way through the fog over to OMG yet? ;)
I cannot see any picture Jake is said to be holding in the Staples pix. When he's walking or in the car?
ReplyDeleteNot sure but that could be Austin's friend. He does look similiar.
ReplyDeleteJake sure has been drinking a lot.
ReplyDeleteIn this picJake's (or rather Austin's) friend also has a photo in his hand. It's an athlete (I'm not familiar with sports, can't tell anything more). So Jake isn't carrying baby Tile's photos around.
ReplyDelete3:10 and 3:15
ReplyDeleteYou need names. May I suggest: "not sure" and "swizzle stick" respectively?
I think Jake looks tired this week. This is not a knock on him. Just the opposite, there can be great reasons for him to be tired out. : )
ReplyDeleteNEW POST!
ReplyDeleteI agree with (thoughful tb) comments earlier in this thread. I do think that Jake is being hounded and it is effecting him. I don't like that. None of us know exactly what's going on for sure! I do think J/A were involved, but (I) happen to think that it is over know and I do hope they are still friends. Is this thought unreasonable. I mean people break up everyday. (especially HW celeb.)
ReplyDeleteEveryone thinks George Clooney is gay and accasionally has a beard (like right now), but know one goes after him. They better NOT!
I am not trying to help HW with it's old ways of the closet, but (IF) Jake and Goerge are gay/bi, they did not make the rules.
I do applaud NPH, Ellen, and others who are OUT, but remember most except Ellen and Rosie were about to be outed. Yes, I would love to see a masculine male actor who is proud of who he is and OUT in HW like some of the women. I whoever does this, I will applaud them.
I know some will not like this but I do think Jake and Reese are involved and I am a longtime tb and I think Jake is bisexual. To what extent their involvement is I don't know or wether it has legs to last. It could just be a fling. I lived a straight, then bi life for years, then fell in love with a man. It was very awkward but then exceptance sets in. It was not easy and I lied alot. When I came out to family and friends it was NOT at 26. Let's add some years to that. And If I had the eyes of the masses watching, hmmm let's just say I don't know what I would have done.
To sum this up, Give the man a break. Anyone watching Jake KNOWS he is going through something.
p.S. (I think he's BISEXUAL)
^know = no^
ReplyDeleteand Sorry for the anon at 9:21. My name is eastcoastfan!
