Aww, they looks so happy and content together! I hope they are still a couple and doing well. I agree with someone in previous threads who mentioned Austin looked very serene and happy with his life in the ACL pictures. I also got that feeling from Jake in pictures before Rome so I think they were doing just fine before the charade started.
If you look at the pictures you see consistent patterns. Jake always walks to Austin's right, but sits to his left, except in the workout picture. It is interesting how they have such distinct consistent patterns.
I like all those pictures except the Lakers II one - nothing will ever convince me Jake isn't fighting back tears in that one, and Austin is all miserable and tense as well. Makes me think more that they were/are a couple actually.
As for the "Nailed" info in the previous post, it says Jake and Jessica have NOT signed onto the project. Considering it is supposed to start filming in January, it would be hard for Jake who I imagine will still be filming Brothers. Plus he has the moon movie coming up. I don't think he should be slagged off for this yet.
Can we get a name for your coments? It's Monday, I have been fighting with player codes and haven't had caffeine yet. Numbers are just too jaring to look at.
Bit late but I just had a look at the last thread and Clippers driver guy is definitely Glasses guy at Borders. Hopefully that means Jake was spending some time with Austin and friends before Austin left for filming.
I just wanted to address the question as to why Jake would do Nailed--Three Kings. That is a great movie imo, and it was a career booster for Mark Wahlberg and George Clooney, who I think were taken a lot more seriously as actors after this movie. I wouldn't mind seeing Jake play a sexy cad.
Three Kings is a great movie! And sometimes a movie plot sounds awful but totally works onscreen. If Jake does this film, I hope that will be the case.
Watched the video. It actually worked at work! Unbelievable! The pap approached Michael Clark Duncan at the end of the video and he was so nice! Billy Crystal was there too.
If he thinks it ridiculous, then why is he participating in it? Besides I think he was laughing at the questions: "Is Reese madly in love with you? Are you going to propose marriage??? Even if you believe that they are real, those questions are just plain silly(the ink on the divorce papers aren't even dry yet!) and meant to get a rise out of him.
Liz, You can laugh (although I'm not sure why he would, seeing as they have "come out" now), but he literally cracked up at the suggestion that there was any love or even the possibility of a marriage between them.
Was him making a disgusted face in that other video when asked if he was dating Reese (before the Rome photo-ops), "just what you do", too?
Yeah he laughed on that TMZ video pre-Rome and looked what happened? Not only did we get Rome Amore, but LAX, the beach and bonding with the kids on Halloween. Yeah, it's a gut-buster dragging kids into it if it's fake.
I would rather think he was laughing at how silly to ask someone to marry them less than a month of the divorce being final because honestly my opinion of Jake isn't that high at the moment.
Leave the kids out of it if it's fake, no need to drag them into it. They could just a few fake dates every once in awhile. That's what's so puzzling about all of this: The kids.
PR, you are the one that sounds really immature. How do you know exactly what Jake was laughing at? He could have been laughing at how silly it was to ask about marrying Reese, etc. Jake has never seemed like one what would purposely hurt children. The fact that you would even go there speaks volumes about your motives, not Jake's.
I would rather think he was laughing at how silly to ask someone to marry them less than a month of the divorce being final because honestly my opinion of Jake isn't that high at the moment."
actually i don't think Jake was laughing at the pap's quetions. there are other people talking, we only heard the pap cos of the mic. Jake looks like he didn't look which vehicle he should get on, maybe he was just laughing at that.
Re Nailed. I don't really Three Kings, but it's an alright movie, but the first Bourne david o'russell made was excellent. I think the Matt Damon and George Clooney connection might have something to do with why Jake was attached to the project, if he hasn't signed on to do it yet.
Leave the kids out of it if it's fake, no need to drag them into it. They could just a few fake dates every once in awhile. That's what's so puzzling about all of this: The kids
We absolutely have no idea how Jake is with Reese 's kids. He went trick or threating with them, that's all there was to it. All that PDA stuff going on as described by the tabs might be the usual shit from them, I am not very inclined to think they actually did it, especially since the paps were around and how comes no pics of that and not even pics of Jake and Reese together. The actual public PDA went on in Rome and I have not seen any after that.Please that video on the beach could have been me consoling my friend because he had a fight with his boyfriend.
And even if they do engage in 'tonsil hockey' if they are playing a part, how is it any different to doing a love scene in a movie? Both have done those before.
I just want to see some Austin. I don't really care who he is with. I just want to see him.
3:26: Pictures of them kissing at LAX after Rome, hands clasped, looked like it was taken with a cell phone. They were published in People magazine along with the Rome pics. Just saying that those pics can't be explained away later as friendly, sure they could "break-up" but the kiss was meant to be seen as romantic.
Yeah, you know my name, look up the number! Awww, I have to admit I am a "closet" lover of this song. I hope we will see a picture of J&A one of these days!
I have to say, in the latest video, he looked a little pissed/annoyed that the paps were hounding him again, at first, and then he pulled up his armor of civility - I think he was laughing at the situation, not what was being said. :)
Jake's parent's house? I mean didn't they just sell it? The pics give no indication about where they were taken. And considering X17 said the pics of Jake at Staple Center were taken in Brentwood... They both look desperate/terrorized, and quite honestly have no idea what's going on.
zipper here, Y'all try to drive Mulholland Drive/Hollywood hills area of LA with flashbulbs going off in your eyes. YOu'd look scared too. I hope, if he and Reese move in together, it won't be in the hills. I've driven it at night and find it daunting as is, so I know that lights flashing in my eyes would cause me to pull over and call a friend. Jake is a brave and a good driver. Hmmm... Meeting mom...good lord...I think Jake wants a family and is about to acquire one ASAP!
Hmmm . . . not sure if I'm convinced by this - if they have been an item, she's obviously already met his parents if she spent some time on the Vineyard this summer, if not before. And why duck and cover, when the secret's out, and her divorce is final??? The real clincher will be when he meets her parents, and/or they say something publicly - until then, it looks like they don't want to say anything that isn't an honest answer. :)
I really don't get this illogical game from her/them. "Hello" magazine on front page and central story- " Reese Whitherspoon open about her new romance and life of single mother" or " RW with her new romance open about her life of single mother" don't remember exactly So her relationship selling to press continues happily and here she is hiding terrified, because paps could have picture of her/them?
If Reese was on the Vineyard with her kids this past summer, then more than likely this isn\'t the first time she\'s been to the Gyllenhaal\'s residence.
I\'m a J&A fan, but I\'m not convinced they\'re together anymore.
IF they are a real couple, there are some holes i just can`t fill. IF they always were a couple, clearly the tabloids were right about some of the sightings. Jake and Reese always mangaged to avoid being photografed together until late july, now they get caught several times each week. Judging from the last pick and the video on halloween, they seem to want to be left alone. If they so badly want this, why not go back? I mean, if they`re not ready yet, they clearly must know how to avoid the paps, judging from all the previous sightings.
I just don't buy that the families of Jake and Reese would go to the lengths of faking a relationship for PR purposes, nor do I believe the children would be used. Nope, sorry. I'm inclined to believe Jake and Reese are real even if it breaks my heart.
correct me if i'm wrong but is it daylight in the pic or is it the flash of the camera? if they are out, why are they so terrified to be seen visiting jake's parents? shouldn't they be all smiles? and is he looking at something in the side view mirror?
Zipper, they were driving during the day, so as for flashbulbs going off...
And why is Reese covering her eyes, like she doesn't want to be seen? And why is Jake all weird? Well, okay, it's because he's with Reese. Why is he leaning toward the passenger window?
I kinda wonder if Reese is pregnant, either by Jake (who's bi and coulda done it once with her in loneliness and desperation) or by Ryan (even when breaking up, its hard to really let go). If its by Jake, he deserves what he gets. If by Ryan, it works out for Reese, doesn't it, to let the public think its Jakes...just saying.
And if y'all look at some pics taken Sunday (I think) of Reese at the beach in Malibu, holding Deacon, look at her stomach. Either she's needing some crunches or she is preggers. Sorry to ruin everyone's day by mentioning it, it doesn't make me happy either.
And why does everyone keep bring up the Reeses kids? If Jake was a family friend (which I think he is) it would be okay to be friends of the family and mommy in front of the kids, and go places etc. Its not like they're having sex in front of or with the kids. *rolls eyes*
And where are her kids in these latest pics? In the trunk?
IHJ has the pics (4) posted, and they are titled Leaving Reese's House in Brentwood (Nov 4). So X17 is wrong wrong wrong again. I wonder who's paying X17...
Looks like she's wearing the same black long sleeved top in the beach and car pics. Maybe Jake dropped her off, or maybe he wasn't seen in the beach pics. What do you all think of the stomach? If she's preg, I hope Jake asks for a paternity test, and I hope it isn't his.
Reese hiding? Jake worried/afraid? How come I suddenly feel these two are really thinking we're complete idiots? Unless we're witnessing the prelude to a future "explainable" breakup?
I wonder whether the paps are outside Reese's house 24/7? if so, is this the only time jake has been to her house? If not, was it just coincidence that they happened to come out of her house exactly at the time the paps were there?! it seems like the last few pics of jake and reese have been pics where they seem to be harassed by the paps. wouldn't be surprised if this is made out to be an excuse for them to go on the down low again....how convenient! that way they can keep Reeke going on forever with a few sightings a month.....heh!
X, I don't think she's pregnant, judging by her figure in the dress she wore on the red carpet in Rome. But giving a kid a ride on her shoulders isn't a good argument against it--women may have morning sickness from heck at that time, but they are certainly able to heft a kid up. The human race wouldn't have gotten so far if women were too debilitated by pregnancy to take care of their other kids!
Sorry, I'm with (losing faith Tb) and as I have said some time ago. Jake and Reese are dating. I love Jake and wish he was with Austin, hey Chris would do for me. But people keep saying if you believe Ted to, Justify the J/A relationship, but you can NOT forget that Ted also said that TT was BISEXUAL. And most do believe he and Kirsten were real as I do also. I'm a longtime TB (right from the start) and If I believed anything that Ted has written about TT is that he was Bisexual and involved with a man (Austin), Chris???-Hmmm, just joking. Most everything else was suspect for me. Sorry I feel it's real!! And don't think that those Sept 06 pictures of Jake and Austin did not get me crazy after myself and others said they were through, and the April bike pics. So if they are toghether (J/A) they are confusing me. But Sadly I don't think so. Much love to Jake anyway.
Why do a lot of Anons defend Reeke, then come back a few minutes later and say, sorry, I'm so-and-so? That's suspect to me, too. Like now they think/know that having a name makes their opinion more reputable...
Dear Ted: I love seeing Jake and Reese together. They look like the only normal people in Hollywood. Don’t you think they just waited for Reese's divorce to be finalized not to lose custody of her kids before being seen together? Elaine Montreal, Quebec Dear Demented: Hold the iPhone...why would Reese lose custody of her kids if she were dating another dude before her divorce was finalized? If that was the rule, Brit woulda lost her tykes back during her Isaac Cohen days!
Dear Ted: Loved the comments about Blythe Danner and Gwyneth Paltrow! I’m all for going green, but people get tired of being preached to by these hypocrites! Now, dammit, who’s Toothy Tile? Donna M. Marietta, Georgia Dear Nice Butt-Licking Try: He’s never romantically recycled Gwyneth, I’ll say that much.

Dear Nice Butt-Licking Try: He’s never romantically recycled Gwyneth, I’ll say that much.
If I remember correctly Ted said that Toothy "intended to come out" as bi not that he was actually bi. He said that he liked his GF very much, maybe I'm wrong but this could apply equally to great friends and/or lovers.
Personally, and those who've read my posts in the past already know this, I've always thought his relationship with Kirsten felt rather... tepid; some of the "oh la la we're so in loooovvvve" pics appeared staged to me. And again, as with Reese, he was with a woman who was far more famous/successful than he was. Wouldn't be surprised that TT had, with Kiki, a serious try at a straight relationship only to find that ultimately his real cup of tea was from Texas.

hey people, do you think the recent publicity regarding Reek has done Jake damage or not? Do you think more people are aware of the gay remours now? or do you think any publicity is better than no publicity? Do you think Jake should sack his PR?!
Monday, November 5, 2007 Jake Gyllenhaal = Toothy Tile
One of Ted Casablanca's top Blind Vice subjects is Toothy Tile. He has covered him for a few years now. He is a closeted gay actor. Ted has excluded MANY actors but has never excluded Jake Gyllenhaal. Toothy supposedly has a serious boyfriend, who is suspected to be Jake's close bud Austin Nichols. In future posts we shall dissect Toothy Tile in more detail. But for today I will just share the nugget that appeared in Ted's column today. It was a blurb about the so-called relationship between Jake and Reese Witherspoon. Here Ted hints that we should not believe the hype...
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. Also, later in the column, Ted mentions Jake's close bud Austin Nichols when suggesting that Reese and Jake to to a basketball game like he used to do with his buddy. Hmmm... I am taking today's comments as a big affirmation from Ted that Toothy is Jake G! I don't believe the Reese rumors for a second. I smell a big ol' publicity stunt! Photo via jake-gyllenhaal.us

I wonder whether the paps are outside Reese's house 24/7? if so, is this the only time jake has been to her house? If not, was it just coincidence that they happened to come out of her house exactly at the time the paps were there?!
Because Reese lives in a gated community the paps don't have much to use other than who drives in and out of the community.
" He’s never romantically recycled Gwyneth, I’ll say that much."
What is this supposed to mean?"
It's reference to Proof, I think. Jake, Anthony Hopkins and Gwyneth Paltrow starred in Proof in 2004.
The implication is that Jake *is* pretending to recycle another female co-star. Care to guess which one?
" Guys, so x17 says the pics are leaving Jake's parents' house. IHJ says the pics are leaving Reese's house. Who is right?"
The latter. x17 is making up headlines as fast as their copy-editors can type them.
I dread these videos and photos. It seems that Jake is only happy when he's with his real friends. He looks miserable, confused or angry everywhere else.
Someone before saiad Ted wasn't current because he didn't know that Jake had 1 dog, Atticus. But I don't think it was a mistake, I think when Ted said 2 pooches he meant Atticus.....and the bitch (Reese). He never says Reese's name in that paragraph because she's already been included as one of the 2 pooches. Good one, Ted!
Guys, so x17 says the pics are leaving Jake's parents' house. IHJ says the pics are leaving Reese's house. Who is right?
Wicked, I think it doesn’t really matter at this point. Both these places – the lover’s/parents’ are good enough for those who want us to think we’re witnessing some “serious commitment”.
When that showmance began, I ground my teeth and thought ok, the guy is HW from his (gorgeous) head down to each and every one of his (probably well-manicured) toes and he’s been paired with a powerful tigress who’s a master at image control… so let’s show understanding and patience for our TT. What I was not expecting is this seemingly endless circus. I’m starting to believe they desperately want to appear on People’s Top 5 Most Read Stories.
OK, weird thought but: what if Reese got inseminated with Jakey's stuff (remember they were supposed to be spotted at a doctors office a couple of times), she's pregnant with his child, this fauxromance thing goes on, she has the baby, but they don't get married because by the time its born the "relationship" is over, they kinda have a fight over the custody but Reese relents and gives the child to Jake since she already has two of her own, he raises it with.......???
I'm tired of this whole fauxmance already. They can't seem to decide how they want to play it. One minute they're completely available to the paps (pdas included) and then the next minute they're hiding from the cameras (or at least pretending to hide). Something about it just strikes me as very fake.
I'm basically ignoring all of it and hoping for a new photo of J&A. At this point I'd be happy just to get a new photo of Austin. I don't think we've had an updated photo of him since the ACL Music festival.
Actually, Frenchy, I think it does matter. I tend to think IHJ is right and they are leaving Reese's. So why did x17 say they were leaving Jake's parents'? As Dee said above, "I wonder who's paying x17?"
Just a question here, dearies, and a preachy proviso to not always gobble up everything you read, this missive included.
I don't know, guys, Ted C. is starting to loosen up my bridgework. What does he mean by this statement? I hope Reeke is a porcelain veneer, but I'm not so sure. :(
Actually, Frenchy, I think it does matter. I tend to think IHJ is right and they are leaving Reese's. So why did x17 say they were leaving Jake's parents'? As Dee said above, "I wonder who's paying x17?"
Oups, I missed Dee's comment Wicked, sorry Dee!
I've read time and again that PR teams often tell the paps where their clients will be to ensure exposure. Wouldn't it be surprising if money changed hands in this case? I don't think so.
As much as I love Jake, I've often thought that his countless "every-day" shots had been set by his team to try and keep him in the public eye. When you’re not that big a star, at least in the mainstream arena, what could justify such a slew of pics? Hey, not that I’m complaining right? :D
hey people, do you think the recent publicity regarding Reek has done Jake damage or not? Do you think more people are aware of the gay rumours now? or do you think any publicity is better than no publicity? Do you think Jake should sack his PR?!
Hmmm, maybe he lost some fans but what do I know…. a lot of us over here seem to be as die-hard as fans as we are as tbs. ;)
Jake's team is now aggressively targeting Reese's territory. They want Jake's name and face to be ingrained in the SUV crowd's collective mind once and for all. No more pussyfooting. The gay/gay-friendly angle will have to take the back seat.
As for the rumors, they obviously thought Reese's image and reputation would help quash them for good. In fact, how many times have we read both here and over at WFT that an A-list like Reese would never stoop so low as to beard? I still think this showmance will not end as quickly as I’d want it to. But then again, what do I know… maybe the future will prove me wrong.
I’ve just re-read the above and decided to post it even though this may sound like I’m dissing Jake. Believe me I’m not. I really think that I’m talking about could be applied to pretty much any actor in HW at one point in their career. For me this bearding game is an opportunity to do some kind of “rewind” to re-examine what I’ve learnt about the fabulous world of celebrities. :D
And now I'll join my voice to those who are longing for a new Austin pic (sigh). Can't wait to see him show up on FNL.
So what do you all think of my Jake/Reese/Baby/Austin scenario? I think it's perfect, because everyone wins, they would all get what they want in the long run, all of them. And HW would be okay with it. And since Jake was burned by so many women in his past, who could blame him for turning to his best friend? We will see soon enuf.
I'm tired of this whole fauxmance already. They can't seem to decide how they want to play it. One minute they're completely available to the paps (pdas included) and then the next minute they're hiding from the cameras (or at least pretending to hide). Something about it just strikes me as very fake. can't agree more!:)
Re Reese's stomach in the beach pics- it has been speculated before that Reese was pregnant when she had a little belly bump and she wasn't. Didn't she sue a tabloid or something over that?
I have a real bad feeling about all of this...'Brothers' doesn't look all that great and 'Nails' is beyond awful...looks like Jake's ship is sinking and I'm afraid he'll end up making dining tables for a living :( Not that there's anything wrong with that!
I think Jake should dump his PR people. I dont see where any of this is helping his image. He's been mentioned as gay in the blogs more times in the last few weeks than ever. The Reeke campaign may be aimed at print media, but I'm not sure those readers give Jake more than 15 seconds thought. Plus how can they keep this up through to his next movie?
On another topic, lots of doubters that Austin and Jake are together suddenly. But I totally believe Ted's NYC sighting. I just don't think a company like E would permit him to use real names unless they had solid evidence that it happened. If it was a BI hint, OK I'd be 50/50. But Ted's words displayed total confidence. In fact, every time he writes about Jake/Austin, he's been very bold. No punches pulled. I would not be surprised if he has seen enough with his own eyes to be sure they have a relationship. I'm pretty sure Ted has visited a gay enclave or two himself over the years.
My thoughts on the latest sighting: pft! Obviously, the paps just snapped a couple of pictures of the two and no one knows where they are coming from.
I don't know what the hell we are being sold anymore. People are screaming the romance is fake and every picture of Jake (who before Reek blew up was glowing with happiness and joie de vivre) has been of him either stiff/miserable/furious or terrified. Why is that if he is soooo in love he wants to jump on couches and scream his love out? It needs to be repeated: the only times he has smiled have been when he's been with his male friends. Nice to know the romance is going so well he needs to be consoled by his friends after dates.
I'm not giving up on J&A but I am getting furious with this BS narrative we are being force fed. Whatever happened to alternative and innovative storylines?
"So what do you all think of my Jake/Reese/Baby/Austin scenario?"
I hate it. Be with the person you want to be with honestly. If you feel you can't then don't fake something. Plenty of gay men have children with their partners.
I found a new article about The Informers in the main newspaper from Uruguay. It’s long and it says nothing specifically about Austin but apparently a lot of changes have taken place in the filming.
It says they start filming today at the Sheraton hotel with actors Rhys Ifans (Hannibal Rising) and Mel Raido (Derailed). From Thursday they will film in a sound stage including the rock concert scene.
Actress Simone Kessel (the director’s girlfriend) is already in Uruguay but not filming yet and Mickey Rourke will arrive mid-November.
Brandon Routh’s character (the vampire) was eliminated from the story. Ashley Olsen will not be in the project and was replaced by actress Amber Heard (Californication).
Also, it says that because there are so many stories and characters in the film, the actors are filming just a few days each and it is not necessary that they stay for long. It says that more actors (unspecified) will arrive during November.
Kim Bassinger, Billy Bob Thornton and Winona Ryder already filmed their parts in LA and will not be in Uruguay.
What i don`t get IF Jake and Reese are for real, is why so surprised being caught by the paps and why still try to hide? It just doesn`t make any sense to me. They must have known there was a chance they got caught. To avoid all this if it bothers them so much, they could have taken separate cars. I just think this seems so fake. A showmance!
Thanks a million spanish translator (and for the previous newa article as well)! I'm sorry to hear Ashley Olsen won't be in Insiders. It would have been interesting to see her in the film. Hopefully Austin's part has not been cancelled!
NG, Reese looks really stressed doesn't she? (fake). Now they can break up for 'Brothers' or when ever and blame it on the paps!! 1. jake pushes a pap away from his car 2. Reese confronts the paps at Haloween 3.Now the car pics three pics in a row of the paps harassing them. funny, no? after all the PDA in front of the paps in Rome. I have totally lost respect for Jake. Do they really think the public are soooo stupid?
Thanks so much, Spanish Translator! So I guess with all the changes, we don't know if Austin is in Uruguay right now or not. I hope we will see him on FNL this Friday.
Pap, don`t know if they will "break up" that soon, though i hope so. I too think the anger at the paps the last week, might be a part of the plan. When they "break up", they can blame them.
The Smiths - just had a flashback to my teenage bedroom. Thanks SK :-)
Nothing much to say about what's happening now. Let's see where it goes. I do agree with 'm' who posted above: "But Ted's words displayed total confidence. In fact, every time he writes about Jake/Austin, he's been very bold."
At the moment I'm still going with Ted. I honestly don't think he's got any sources about Reese, but I do think he's sure enough about Jaustin to say that he doesn't believe Jeese.
"Brandon Routh’s character (the vampire) was eliminated from the story."
Glad to hear The Man of Wood is out. Ashley Olson might have been interesting, though.
There's a lot of people banging nails into the coffin of Jake's career lately. Not defending Jake, and everything he does, but that's a bit premature.
Show me an actor who hasn't had (serious) ups and downs in their career. I love Anthony Hopkins, for instance, but he has made some shit films. Hilary Swank - two Oscars and sice then? Sandra Bullock - her latest was one of the Worst Ever Reviewed on Rotten Tomatoes. You know what I mean.
Some actors come back up with a critical/box office hit when you least expect it. For some the lull turns into a trough. Generally, I don't put the blame for a flop just at the actor's feet, especially not if they're just trying to do something outside the HW norm.
As for this Nailed film. The director has an interesting history. Look at his film called Spanking the Monkey. (Yes that is a euphamism for masturbation).If I outlined the plot for you: young guy, lonely, ends up in a r/ship with his mother you'd probably not be too impressed. It's actually a good movie.
I quite enjoyed Spanking the Monkey too and have rethinked my opinion about Nailed. It could turn out to be a quirky satire and just the vehicle Jake needs. He really should put his skills as a comedian to use.
David O. Russell also did Flirting with Disaster. And who would have really thought a movie about Ben Stiller looking for his birth parents,after the birth of his yet to be name son, would be that good.
Yet you have Mary Tyler Moore flashing and swearing like a sailor, a closeted FBI couple along for a ride, a social worker who gets a little to social and Alan Alda and Lily Tomlin cooking up acid in their basement.
Is it just me that finds the fact that TWICE E!Online as run a Ted column boldly stating Reeke as a sham, Jake and Austin are together, with a crowd of pointing fingers at Jake is TT on it's front page in the last several weeks?
Oh, and that one letter to Ted about Reeke - Elaine, as in their mutual manager.
Some actors come back up with a critical/box office hit when you least expect it. For some the lull turns into a trough. Generally, I don't put the blame for a flop just at the actor's feet, especially not if they're just trying to do something outside the HW norm. "
Look at Russell Crowe. I can't remember the last time he had a hit. I think ever since that telephone throwing incident, people were avoiding his movies because they thought he was a jerk. But his latest film, American Gangster, is a crowd-pleasing hit. Okay, he's co-starring with Denzel (and that's really his movie) and the story is great, but this must be great validation for him.
"And don't think that those Sept 06 pictures of Jake and Austin did not get me crazy after myself and others said they were through, and the April bike pics."
That's why this feels like the "same old" ECF. This happened last year. The rumors heat up and Austin disappeared for months. Last year Jake was supposed to be with Natalie Portman. Austin reappears when it all seems calmer. This time there is PDA. Will Austin reappear? Why can't Jake be pictured with Austin if the rumors are bs? Stay tuned in to As the Toothy Turns.
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.
Aww, they looks so happy and content together! I hope they are still a couple and doing well. I agree with someone in previous threads who mentioned Austin looked very serene and happy with his life in the ACL pictures. I also got that feeling from Jake in pictures before Rome so I think they were doing just fine before the charade started.
ReplyDeleteIf you look at the pictures you see consistent patterns. Jake always walks to Austin's right, but sits to his left, except in the workout picture. It is interesting how they have such distinct consistent patterns.
ReplyDeleteAlmost, as if, they are a couple. ; )
I'm going to take a wild guess - their sleeping pattern is probably the same as their sitting pattern, Jake to Austin's left.
ReplyDeleteThis is the best post ever! they are amazing together! :)
ReplyDeleteThey do have such a natural comfort level and closeness in these pics. :)
ReplyDeleteAww, Jake and Austin. Never has so few pictures told so much of a story for a couple.
ReplyDeleteI like all those pictures except the Lakers II one - nothing will ever convince me Jake isn't fighting back tears in that one, and Austin is all miserable and tense as well. Makes me think more that they were/are a couple actually.
ReplyDeleteMax
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly why I wanted that picture in there. I wanted to show the whole picture.
Now if the player worked right night the song would work with the pictures.
Sorry I have a lot of player hate right now.
Great pics of the boys!
ReplyDeleteAs for the "Nailed" info in the previous post, it says Jake and Jessica have NOT signed onto the project. Considering it is supposed to start filming in January, it would be hard for Jake who I imagine will still be filming Brothers. Plus he has the moon movie coming up. I don't think he should be slagged off for this yet.
Isn't Brothers a long shoot?
ReplyDeleteNailed sounds like it would take two weeks.

ReplyDeleteCan we get a name for your coments?
It's Monday, I have been fighting with player codes and haven't had caffeine yet. Numbers are just too jaring to look at.

ReplyDelete"Just checked imdb and it says Brothers principal photography starts 11/27."
Bit late but I just had a look at the last thread and Clippers driver guy is definitely Glasses guy at Borders. Hopefully that means Jake was spending some time with Austin and friends before Austin left for filming.
ReplyDeleteSuccess! Finally a player works.
ReplyDeletenow... that's a much better song title :) (even though I LOVE "Love will tear us apart")... great pics too.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to address the question as to why Jake would do Nailed--Three Kings. That is a great movie imo, and it was a career booster for Mark Wahlberg and George Clooney, who I think were taken a lot more seriously as actors after this movie. I wouldn't mind seeing Jake play a sexy cad.
ReplyDeleteThree Kings is a great movie! And sometimes a movie plot sounds awful but totally works onscreen. If Jake does this film, I hope that will be the case.
ReplyDeletenew video x17online:
ReplyDeletehttp://x17online.com/celebrities/jake_gyllenhaal/jake_gets_clipped-11052007.php
Watched the video. It actually worked at work! Unbelievable! The pap approached Michael Clark Duncan at the end of the video and he was so nice! Billy Crystal was there too.
ReplyDeleteThank you, new video.
ReplyDeleteSo, even Jake thinks the whole Reeke thing is ridiculous?
Stop it, Stubborn.
ReplyDeleteWhat was he supposed to do when badgered like that? You laugh is what you do.
Stubborn, looks like it! He was laughing all the way til after he sat in the car.
ReplyDeleteAs for Nailed, remember how Donnie Darko sounded like one of those retarded Halloween movies?
If he thinks it ridiculous, then why is he participating in it? Besides I think he was laughing at the questions: "Is Reese madly in love with you? Are you going to propose marriage??? Even if you believe that they are real, those questions are just plain silly(the ink on the divorce papers aren't even dry yet!) and meant to get a rise out of him.
ReplyDeleteLiz,
ReplyDeleteYou can laugh (although I'm not sure why he would, seeing as they have "come out" now), but he literally cracked up at the suggestion that there was any love or even the possibility of a marriage between them.
Was him making a disgusted face in that other video when asked if he was dating Reese (before the Rome photo-ops), "just what you do", too?
Yeah he laughed on that TMZ video pre-Rome and looked what happened? Not only did we get Rome Amore, but LAX, the beach and bonding with the kids on Halloween. Yeah, it's a gut-buster dragging kids into it if it's fake.
ReplyDeleteI would rather think he was laughing at how silly to ask someone to marry them less than a month of the divorce being final because honestly my opinion of Jake isn't that high at the moment.
Leave the kids out of it if it's fake, no need to drag them into it. They could just a few fake dates every once in awhile. That's what's so puzzling about all of this: The kids.
PS: I think that Jake is immature.
PR, you are the one that sounds really immature. How do you know exactly what Jake was laughing at? He could have been laughing at how silly it was to ask about marrying Reese, etc. Jake has never seemed like one what would purposely hurt children. The fact that you would even go there speaks volumes about your motives, not Jake's.
ReplyDeleteI would rather think he was laughing at how silly to ask someone to marry them less than a month of the divorce being final because honestly my opinion of Jake isn't that high at the moment."
ReplyDeleteWhy?
actually i don't think Jake was laughing at the pap's quetions. there are other people talking, we only heard the pap cos of the mic. Jake looks like he didn't look which vehicle he should get on, maybe he was just laughing at that.
ReplyDeleteRe Nailed. I don't really Three Kings, but it's an alright movie, but the first Bourne david o'russell made was excellent. I think the Matt Damon and George Clooney connection might have something to do with why Jake was attached to the project, if he hasn't signed on to do it yet.
ReplyDeleteHey 1:22
ReplyDeleteDo you have a name we can put on your name tag?
Leave the kids out of it if it's fake, no need to drag them into it. They could just a few fake dates every once in awhile. That's what's so puzzling about all of this: The kids
ReplyDeleteWe absolutely have no idea how Jake is with Reese 's kids. He went trick or threating with them, that's all there was to it. All that PDA stuff going on as described by the tabs might be the usual shit from them, I am not very inclined to think they actually did it, especially since the paps were around and how comes no pics of that and not even pics of Jake and Reese together. The actual public PDA went on in Rome and I have not seen any after that.Please that video on the beach could have been me consoling my friend because he had a fight with his boyfriend.
Let's stop worrying. We think it's fake, others think it's real, they should leave us alone and vice versa.
ReplyDeletemax, I am convinced (ha ha) it's glasses guy, too. The forehead finally convinced me :)
2:58PM You are forgetting the tonsil hockey exhibition at LAX.
ReplyDelete^Hardly tonsil. :) His back was to the camera.
ReplyDelete3:10, hockey exhibition at LAX?? I am not forgetting anything, I have NO idea what you are talking about.
ReplyDeleteAnd, I do have a name, thanks.
And even if they do engage in 'tonsil hockey' if they are playing a part, how is it any different to doing a love scene in a movie? Both have done those before.
ReplyDeleteI just want to see some Austin. I don't really care who he is with. I just want to see him.
3:26: Pictures of them kissing at LAX after Rome, hands clasped, looked like it was taken with a cell phone. They were published in People magazine along with the Rome pics. Just saying that those pics can't be explained away later as friendly, sure they could "break-up" but the kiss was meant to be seen as romantic.
ReplyDeleteHi 3:10
ReplyDeleteSince you only leave a number that is all I have to call you. You need to give yourself a name.
But Zero did give a name, so be respectful and address people by the the name they have chosen.
4:05 or should I say 3:10
ReplyDeleteYou need to give yourself a name and stop calling people by number when they identify themselves by name.
Interesting how the pro-Jeese comments are anonymous. If you really felt strong in your beliefs, you would take a name.
ReplyDeleteYeah, you know my name, look up the number! Awww, I have to admit I am a "closet" lover of this song. I hope we will see a picture of J&A one of these days!
ReplyDeleteI have to say, in the latest video, he looked a little pissed/annoyed that the paps were hounding him again, at first, and then he pulled up his armor of civility - I think he was laughing at the situation, not what was being said. :)
"Just saying that those pics can't be explained away later as friendly, sure they could "break-up" but the kiss was meant to be seen as romantic."
ReplyDeleteNovember 5, 2007 4:05 PM
4.05, 4.05, where have you been? no one is saying friendly or romantic......just showmance!
x17online has new pictures of Reeke visiting Jake's parents on sunday
ReplyDeletehttp://x17online.com/celebrities/jake_gyllenhaal/x17_xclusive_jake_crazy_for_reese-11052007.php
Jake's parent's house? I mean didn't they just sell it? The pics give no indication about where they were taken. And considering X17 said the pics of Jake at Staple Center were taken in Brentwood... They both look desperate/terrorized, and quite honestly have no idea what's going on.
ReplyDeleteJake looks so frightened. I don't think I have ever seen him that frightened or panicked.
ReplyDeletezipper here,
ReplyDeleteY'all try to drive Mulholland Drive/Hollywood hills area of LA with flashbulbs going off in your eyes. YOu'd look scared too. I hope, if he and Reese move in together, it won't be in the hills.
I've driven it at night and find it daunting as is, so I know that lights flashing in my eyes would cause me to pull over and call a friend. Jake is a brave and a good driver.
Hmmm... Meeting mom...good lord...I think Jake wants a family and is about to acquire one ASAP!
Hmmm . . . not sure if I'm convinced by this - if they have been an item, she's obviously already met his parents if she spent some time on the Vineyard this summer, if not before. And why duck and cover, when the secret's out, and her divorce is final??? The real clincher will be when he meets her parents, and/or they say something publicly - until then, it looks like they don't want to say anything that isn't an honest answer. :)
ReplyDeleteReese has known Jake's mother for years. I think they did charity work together in the past.
ReplyDeleteI really don't get this illogical game from her/them.
ReplyDelete"Hello" magazine on front page and central story- " Reese Whitherspoon open about her new romance and life of single mother" or
" RW with her new romance open about her life of single mother"
don't remember exactly
So her relationship selling to press continues happily and here she is hiding terrified, because paps could have picture of her/them?
If Reese was on the Vineyard with her kids this past summer, then more than likely this isn\'t the first time she\'s been to the Gyllenhaal\'s residence.
ReplyDeleteI\'m a J&A fan, but I\'m not convinced they\'re together anymore.
IF they are a real couple, there are some holes i just can`t fill.
ReplyDeleteIF they always were a couple, clearly the tabloids were right about some of the sightings. Jake and Reese always mangaged to avoid being photografed together until late july, now they get caught several times each week. Judging from the last pick and the video on halloween, they seem to want to be left alone. If they so badly want this, why not go back? I mean, if they`re not ready yet, they clearly must know how to avoid the paps, judging from all the previous sightings.
I just don't buy that the families of Jake and Reese would go to the lengths of faking a relationship for PR purposes, nor do I believe the children would be used. Nope, sorry. I'm inclined to believe Jake and Reese are real even if it breaks my heart.
ReplyDeletecorrect me if i'm wrong but is it daylight in the pic or is it the flash of the camera?
ReplyDeleteif they are out, why are they so terrified to be seen visiting jake's parents? shouldn't they be all smiles? and is he looking at something in the side view mirror?
Zipper, they were driving during the day, so as for flashbulbs going off...
ReplyDeleteAnd why is Reese covering her eyes, like she doesn't want to be seen? And why is Jake all weird? Well, okay, it's because he's with Reese. Why is he leaning toward the passenger window?
I kinda wonder if Reese is pregnant, either by Jake (who's bi and coulda done it once with her in loneliness and desperation) or by Ryan (even when breaking up, its hard to really let go). If its by Jake, he deserves what he gets. If by Ryan, it works out for Reese, doesn't it, to let the public think its Jakes...just saying.
And if y'all look at some pics taken Sunday (I think) of Reese at the beach in Malibu, holding Deacon, look at her stomach. Either she's needing some crunches or she is preggers. Sorry to ruin everyone's day by mentioning it, it doesn't make me happy either.
And why does everyone keep bring up the Reeses kids? If Jake was a family friend (which I think he is) it would be okay to be friends of the family and mommy in front of the kids, and go places etc. Its not like they're having sex in front of or with the kids. *rolls eyes*
ReplyDeleteAnd where are her kids in these latest pics? In the trunk?
Dee, can you please give us a link to the pics of Reese at the beach with her kids? thanks
ReplyDeleteIHJ posted the same pictures and the caption from x17online says they are leaving Reese's house:
ReplyDelete"Still hiding but spending night after night together, Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon leaving Reese's house. 11.4.07"
http://iheartjake.suddenlaunch.com/index.cgi?board=Pictures&action=display&num=1194299490
IHJ has the pics (4) posted, and they are titled Leaving Reese's House in Brentwood (Nov 4). So X17 is wrong wrong wrong again. I wonder who's paying X17...
ReplyDeletehere it is. Look at the 2nd picture.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.flynetonline.com/2007/11/reese-witherspoon-gives-deke-a/
Looks like she's wearing the same black long sleeved top in the beach and car pics. Maybe Jake dropped her off, or maybe he wasn't seen in the beach pics. What do you all think of the stomach? If she's preg, I hope Jake asks for a paternity test, and I hope it isn't his.
ReplyDeleteEspecially since she was pregs when she married Ryan.
ReplyDeletedoubt she would be giving Deacon a ride on her shoulders if she was in the early months of pregnancy...
ReplyDeleteI'm with you NG.
ReplyDeleteReese hiding? Jake worried/afraid? How come I suddenly feel these two are really thinking we're complete idiots? Unless we're witnessing the prelude to a future "explainable" breakup?
I agree with NG and frenchy. How come they hid for months and now they are 'caught' by the paps almost everyday? It's a showmance.
ReplyDeleteThat is what i`m wondering about too, frenchy. If they will use the haunting from the photografers as an excuse for a break-up.
ReplyDeleteI wonder whether the paps are outside Reese's house 24/7? if so, is this the only time jake has been to her house? If not, was it just coincidence that they happened to come out of her house exactly at the time the paps were there?! it seems like the last few pics of jake and reese have been pics where they seem to be harassed by the paps. wouldn't be surprised if this is made out to be an excuse for them to go on the down low again....how convenient! that way they can keep Reeke going on forever with a few sightings a month.....heh!
ReplyDeleteX, I don't think she's pregnant, judging by her figure in the dress she wore on the red carpet in Rome. But giving a kid a ride on her shoulders isn't a good argument against it--women may have morning sickness from heck at that time, but they are certainly able to heft a kid up. The human race wouldn't have gotten so far if women were too debilitated by pregnancy to take care of their other kids!
ReplyDeleteO, oh! all the publicity broke them up! YAY! can't wait for the day :D
ReplyDeletei saw her on TIFF and though small she isn't exactly thin one.
ReplyDeletethat maybe azurite, but she's a A-list HW star, they're more delicate than the rest of humanity :))
ReplyDeleteSorry, I'm with (losing faith Tb) and as I have said some time ago. Jake and Reese are dating. I love Jake and wish he was with Austin, hey Chris would do for me. But people keep saying if you believe Ted to, Justify the J/A relationship, but you can NOT forget that Ted also said that TT was BISEXUAL. And most do believe he and Kirsten were real as I do also. I'm a longtime TB (right from the start) and If I believed anything that Ted has written about TT is that he was Bisexual and involved with a man (Austin), Chris???-Hmmm, just joking. Most everything else was suspect for me.
ReplyDeleteSorry I feel it's real!!
And don't think that those Sept 06 pictures of Jake and Austin did not get me crazy after myself and others said they were through, and the April bike pics. So if they are toghether (J/A) they are confusing me. But Sadly I don't think so. Much love to Jake anyway.
^^So Sorry, I'm anon 6:51 and my name is eastcoastfan.
ReplyDeleteAnon 6:51- you really have me wondering why people who think Jake and Reese are together do not use names.
ReplyDeleteWe must have posted at the same time, Eastcoastfan. Thank you for identifying yourself.
ReplyDeleteWhy do a lot of Anons defend Reeke, then come back a few minutes later and say, sorry, I'm so-and-so? That's suspect to me, too. Like now they think/know that having a name makes their opinion more reputable...
ReplyDeleteDear Ted:
ReplyDeleteI love seeing Jake and Reese together. They look like the only normal people in Hollywood. Don’t you think they just waited for Reese's divorce to be finalized not to lose custody of her kids before being seen together?

Dear Demented:
Hold the iPhone...why would Reese lose custody of her kids if she were dating another dude before her divorce was finalized? If that was the rule, Brit woulda lost her tykes back during her Isaac Cohen days!

If I remember correctly Ted said that Toothy "intended to come out" as bi not that he was actually bi. He said that he liked his GF very much, maybe I'm wrong but this could apply equally to great friends and/or lovers.
ReplyDeletePersonally, and those who've read my posts in the past already know this, I've always thought his relationship with Kirsten felt rather... tepid; some of the "oh la la we're so in loooovvvve" pics appeared staged to me. And again, as with Reese, he was with a woman who was far more famous/successful than he was. Wouldn't be surprised that TT had, with Kiki, a serious try at a straight relationship only to find that ultimately his real cup of tea was from Texas.

ReplyDeleteJake Gyllenhaal = Toothy Tile
One of Ted Casablanca's top Blind Vice subjects is Toothy Tile. He has covered him for a few years now. He is a closeted gay actor. Ted has excluded MANY actors but has never excluded Jake Gyllenhaal. Toothy supposedly has a serious boyfriend, who is suspected to be Jake's close bud Austin Nichols. In future posts we shall dissect Toothy Tile in more detail. But for today I will just share the nugget that appeared in Ted's column today. It was a blurb about the so-called relationship between Jake and Reese Witherspoon. Here Ted hints that we should not believe the hype...
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.
Also, later in the column, Ted mentions Jake's close bud Austin Nichols when suggesting that Reese and Jake to to a basketball game like he used to do with his buddy. Hmmm... I am taking today's comments as a big affirmation from Ted that Toothy is Jake G! I don't believe the Reese rumors for a second. I smell a big ol' publicity stunt!

Because Reese lives in a gated community the paps don't have much to use other than who drives in and out of the community.
7:38
ReplyDeleteThose might be good numbers to play for the Daily Number, but they really don't work for a name. Have a better name we can use?
" He’s never romantically recycled Gwyneth, I’ll say that much."
ReplyDeleteWhat is this supposed to mean?"
It's reference to Proof, I think. Jake, Anthony Hopkins and Gwyneth Paltrow starred in Proof in 2004.
The implication is that Jake *is* pretending to recycle another female co-star. Care to guess which one?
" Guys, so x17 says the pics are leaving Jake's parents' house. IHJ says the pics are leaving Reese's house. Who is right?"
The latter. x17 is making up headlines as fast as their copy-editors can type them.
I dread these videos and photos. It seems that Jake is only happy when he's with his real friends. He looks miserable, confused or angry everywhere else.
Hey 8:15
ReplyDeleteDo you have a name to go with you post?
Someone before saiad Ted wasn't current because he didn't know that Jake had 1 dog, Atticus. But I don't think it was a mistake, I think when Ted said 2 pooches he meant Atticus.....and the bitch (Reese). He never says Reese's name in that paragraph because she's already been included as one of the 2 pooches. Good one, Ted!
ReplyDeleteSorry, he does say her name, but only when he says something about thigh-busting and that Reese is good at many things -- he must mean ball-busting.
ReplyDeleteI never read this Ted C's stuff before, but now I really like him.
Guys, so x17 says the pics are leaving Jake's parents' house. IHJ says the pics are leaving Reese's house. Who is right?
ReplyDeleteWicked, I think it doesn’t really matter at this point. Both these places – the lover’s/parents’ are good enough for those who want us to think we’re witnessing some “serious commitment”.
When that showmance began, I ground my teeth and thought ok, the guy is HW from his (gorgeous) head down to each and every one of his (probably well-manicured) toes and he’s been paired with a powerful tigress who’s a master at image control… so let’s show understanding and patience for our TT. What I was not expecting is this seemingly endless circus. I’m starting to believe they desperately want to appear on People’s Top 5 Most Read Stories.
OK, weird thought but: what if Reese got inseminated with Jakey's stuff (remember they were supposed to be spotted at a doctors office a couple of times), she's pregnant with his child, this fauxromance thing goes on, she has the baby, but they don't get married because by the time its born the "relationship" is over, they kinda have a fight over the custody but Reese relents and gives the child to Jake since she already has two of her own, he raises it with.......???
ReplyDeleteTruth/Tooth is stranger than fiction.
I'm tired of this whole fauxmance already. They can't seem to decide how they want to play it. One minute they're completely available to the paps (pdas included) and then the next minute they're hiding from the cameras (or at least pretending to hide). Something about it just strikes me as very fake.
ReplyDeleteI'm basically ignoring all of it and hoping for a new photo of J&A. At this point I'd be happy just to get a new photo of Austin. I don't think we've had an updated photo of him since the ACL Music festival.
Actually, Frenchy, I think it does matter. I tend to think IHJ is right and they are leaving Reese's. So why did x17 say they were leaving Jake's parents'? As Dee said above, "I wonder who's paying x17?"
ReplyDeleteJust a question here, dearies, and a preachy proviso to not always gobble up everything you read, this missive included.
ReplyDeleteI don't know, guys, Ted C. is starting to loosen up my bridgework. What does he mean by this statement? I hope Reeke is a porcelain veneer, but I'm not so sure. :(
Actually, Frenchy, I think it does matter. I tend to think IHJ is right and they are leaving Reese's. So why did x17 say they were leaving Jake's parents'? As Dee said above, "I wonder who's paying x17?"
ReplyDeleteOups, I missed Dee's comment Wicked, sorry Dee!
I've read time and again that PR teams often tell the paps where their clients will be to ensure exposure. Wouldn't it be surprising if money changed hands in this case? I don't think so.
As much as I love Jake, I've often thought that his countless "every-day" shots had been set by his team to try and keep him in the public eye. When you’re not that big a star, at least in the mainstream arena, what could justify such a slew of pics? Hey, not that I’m complaining right? :D
hey people, do you think the recent publicity regarding Reek has done Jake damage or not? Do you think more people are aware of the gay rumours now? or do you think any publicity is better than no publicity? Do you think Jake should sack his PR?!
Hmmm, maybe he lost some fans but what do I know…. a lot of us over here seem to be as die-hard as fans as we are as tbs. ;)
Jake's team is now aggressively targeting Reese's territory. They want Jake's name and face to be ingrained in the SUV crowd's collective mind once and for all. No more pussyfooting. The gay/gay-friendly angle will have to take the back seat.
As for the rumors, they obviously thought Reese's image and reputation would help quash them for good. In fact, how many times have we read both here and over at WFT that an A-list like Reese would never stoop so low as to beard? I still think this showmance will not end as quickly as I’d want it to. But then again, what do I know… maybe the future will prove me wrong.
I’ve just re-read the above and decided to post it even though this may sound like I’m dissing Jake. Believe me I’m not. I really think that I’m talking about could be applied to pretty much any actor in HW at one point in their career. For me this bearding game is an opportunity to do some kind of “rewind” to re-examine what I’ve learnt about the fabulous world of celebrities. :D
And now I'll join my voice to those who are longing for a new Austin pic (sigh). Can't wait to see him show up on FNL.
So what do you all think of my Jake/Reese/Baby/Austin scenario? I think it's perfect, because everyone wins, they would all get what they want in the long run, all of them. And HW would be okay with it. And since Jake was burned by so many women in his past, who could blame him for turning to his best friend? We will see soon enuf.

Something about it just strikes me as very fake.
ReplyDeletecan't agree more!:)
Re Reese's stomach in the beach pics- it has been speculated before that Reese was pregnant when she had a little belly bump and she wasn't. Didn't she sue a tabloid or something over that?
ReplyDeleteYes she did Wicked.
ReplyDeleteYes she did Wicked and she won. Guess they won't make that mistake again! ;)
ReplyDeleteI'll shut my trap now... and say good night. :)
I have a real bad feeling about all of this...'Brothers' doesn't look all that great and 'Nails' is beyond awful...looks like Jake's ship is sinking and I'm afraid he'll end up making dining tables for a living :( Not that there's anything wrong with that!
ReplyDeleteI think Jake should dump his PR people. I dont see where any of this is helping his image. He's been mentioned as gay in the blogs more times in the last few weeks than ever. The Reeke campaign may be aimed at print media, but I'm not sure those readers give Jake more than 15 seconds thought. Plus how can they keep this up through to his next movie?
ReplyDeleteOn another topic, lots of doubters that Austin and Jake are together suddenly. But I totally believe Ted's NYC sighting. I just don't think a company like E would permit him to use real names unless they had solid evidence that it happened. If it was a BI hint, OK I'd be 50/50. But Ted's words displayed total confidence. In fact, every time he writes about Jake/Austin, he's been very bold. No punches pulled. I would not be surprised if he has seen enough with his own eyes to be sure they have a relationship. I'm pretty sure Ted has visited a gay enclave or two himself over the years.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it Austin's pre-trial hearing today? Is so, hope everything goes okay for him.
ReplyDeleteokay but ted has told a lot of crap in the past too and with real names
ReplyDeletesorry but ted's credibility is very
questionable
My thoughts on the latest sighting: pft! Obviously, the paps just snapped a couple of pictures of the two and no one knows where they are coming from.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what the hell we are being sold anymore. People are screaming the romance is fake and every picture of Jake (who before Reek blew up was glowing with happiness and joie de vivre) has been of him either stiff/miserable/furious or terrified. Why is that if he is soooo in love he wants to jump on couches and scream his love out? It needs to be repeated: the only times he has smiled have been when he's been with his male friends. Nice to know the romance is going so well he needs to be consoled by his friends after dates.
I'm not giving up on J&A but I am getting furious with this BS narrative we are being force fed. Whatever happened to alternative and innovative storylines?
"Isn't it Austin's pre-trial hearing today? Is so, hope everything goes okay for him."
ReplyDeleteHow does that work if Austin is out of the country?
"So what do you all think of my Jake/Reese/Baby/Austin scenario?"
ReplyDeleteI hate it.
Be with the person you want to be with honestly. If you feel you can't then don't fake something. Plenty of gay men have children with their partners.
How does that work if Austin is out of the country?
ReplyDeleteWorking out of the country sounds like a good enough reason to postpone the hearing.
I found a new article about The Informers in the main newspaper from Uruguay. It’s long and it says nothing specifically about Austin but apparently a lot of changes have taken place in the filming.
ReplyDeleteIt says they start filming today at the Sheraton hotel with actors Rhys Ifans (Hannibal Rising) and Mel Raido (Derailed). From Thursday they will film in a sound stage including the rock concert scene.
Actress Simone Kessel (the director’s girlfriend) is already in Uruguay but not filming yet and Mickey Rourke will arrive mid-November.
Brandon Routh’s character (the vampire) was eliminated from the story. Ashley Olsen will not be in the project and was replaced by actress Amber Heard (Californication).
Also, it says that because there are so many stories and characters in the film, the actors are filming just a few days each and it is not necessary that they stay for long. It says that more actors (unspecified) will arrive during November.
Kim Bassinger, Billy Bob Thornton and Winona Ryder already filmed their parts in LA and will not be in Uruguay.

'So what do you all think of my Jake/Reese/Baby/Austin scenario'
ReplyDeleteNot being snarky but why would you wish a chin like that on any baby?
Thanks for the info, Spanish Translator!
ReplyDeleteWhat i don`t get IF Jake and Reese are for real, is why so surprised being caught by the paps and why still try to hide? It just doesn`t make any sense to me. They must have known there was a chance they got caught. To avoid all this if it bothers them so much, they could have taken separate cars.
ReplyDeleteI just think this seems so fake. A showmance!
Thanks a million spanish translator (and for the previous newa article as well)! I'm sorry to hear Ashley Olsen won't be in Insiders. It would have been interesting to see her in the film. Hopefully Austin's part has not been cancelled!
ReplyDeletesorry, The Informers :)
ReplyDeleteNG, Reese looks really stressed doesn't she? (fake). Now they can break up for 'Brothers' or when ever and blame it on the paps!!
ReplyDelete1. jake pushes a pap away from his car
2. Reese confronts the paps at Haloween
3.Now the car pics
three pics in a row of the paps harassing them. funny, no? after all the PDA in front of the paps in Rome.
I have totally lost respect for Jake. Do they really think the public are soooo stupid?
Thanks so much, Spanish Translator! So I guess with all the changes, we don't know if Austin is in Uruguay right now or not. I hope we will see him on FNL this Friday.
ReplyDeletePap, don`t know if they will "break up" that soon, though i hope so. I too think the anger at the paps the last week, might be a part of the plan. When they "break up", they can blame them.
ReplyDeleteYou lot are SOOOOOOOOOOO funny, Any more hysteria and you will all have heart attacks, One can only hope.

ReplyDeleteYou crack me up, how? Because you can't put a name on your post.
I support nipping unsupportive and bullying posts at the bud.
ReplyDeleteI'm really hoping for news, any news, about Austin now. It seems like ages we heard from him.
The Smiths - just had a flashback to my teenage bedroom. Thanks SK :-)
ReplyDeleteNothing much to say about what's happening now. Let's see where it goes. I do agree with 'm' who posted above: "But Ted's words displayed total confidence. In fact, every time he writes about Jake/Austin, he's been very bold."
At the moment I'm still going with Ted. I honestly don't think he's got any sources about Reese, but I do think he's sure enough about Jaustin to say that he doesn't believe Jeese.
"Brandon Routh’s character (the vampire) was eliminated from the story."
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear The Man of Wood is out. Ashley Olson might have been interesting, though.
There's a lot of people banging nails into the coffin of Jake's career lately. Not defending Jake, and everything he does, but that's a bit premature.
Show me an actor who hasn't had (serious) ups and downs in their career. I love Anthony Hopkins, for instance, but he has made some shit films. Hilary Swank - two Oscars and sice then? Sandra Bullock - her latest was one of the Worst Ever Reviewed on Rotten Tomatoes. You know what I mean.
Some actors come back up with a critical/box office hit when you least expect it. For some the lull turns into a trough. Generally, I don't put the blame for a flop just at the actor's feet, especially not if they're just trying to do something outside the HW norm.
As for this Nailed film. The director has an interesting history. Look at his film called Spanking the Monkey. (Yes that is a euphamism for masturbation).If I outlined the plot for you: young guy, lonely, ends up in a r/ship with his mother you'd probably not be too impressed. It's actually a good movie.
I quite enjoyed Spanking the Monkey too and have rethinked my opinion about Nailed. It could turn out to be a quirky satire and just the vehicle Jake needs. He really should put his skills as a comedian to use.
ReplyDeleteMax
ReplyDeleteDavid O. Russell also did Flirting with Disaster. And who would have really thought a movie about Ben Stiller looking for his birth parents,after the birth of his yet to be name son, would be that good.
Yet you have Mary Tyler Moore flashing and swearing like a sailor, a closeted FBI couple along for a ride, a social worker who gets a little to social and Alan Alda and Lily Tomlin cooking up acid in their basement.
Is it just me that finds the fact that TWICE E!Online as run a Ted column boldly stating Reeke as a sham, Jake and Austin are together, with a crowd of pointing fingers at Jake is TT on it's front page in the last several weeks?
ReplyDeleteOh, and that one letter to Ted about Reeke - Elaine, as in their mutual manager.
No, their mututal manager's name is Evelyn O'Neill.
ReplyDeleteOops! That's right! *slaps forehead*
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry....uh...what was you're name again?

ReplyDeleteLook at Russell Crowe. I can't remember the last time he had a hit. I think ever since that telephone throwing incident, people were avoiding his movies because they thought he was a jerk. But his latest film, American Gangster, is a crowd-pleasing hit. Okay, he's co-starring with Denzel (and that's really his movie) and the story is great, but this must be great validation for him.
"Jake and Austin are together, with a crowd of pointing fingers at Jake is TT on it's front page in the last several weeks?"
ReplyDeleteDidn't notice that. Is it still up?
New Post.
ReplyDelete"And don't think that those Sept 06 pictures of Jake and Austin did not get me crazy after myself and others said they were through, and the April bike pics."
ReplyDeleteThat's why this feels like the "same old" ECF. This happened last year. The rumors heat up and Austin disappeared for months. Last year Jake was supposed to be with Natalie Portman. Austin reappears when it all seems calmer. This time there is PDA. Will Austin reappear? Why can't Jake be pictured with Austin if the rumors are bs? Stay tuned in to As the Toothy Turns.
NEW POST!
