Everybody knows that your life is a story. But what if a story was your life?
In Stranger than Fiction an IRS auditor suddenly finds himself the subject of narration only he can hear: narration that begins to affect his entire life, from his work, to his love-interest, to his death.*
Sound familiar? Is Jeese - Harold Crick? And the narrator not the voices of one narrator but the collective voices of the everyone calling them on this sudden and public relationship.
It seems that the chatter in magazines, gossip site, blogs of all kind, including the Toothy, Jake, or Jeese varieties are bringing up questions and two days later we see the next act played out before us.
Its like surreal modern theater,but not improv though - no that is too risky. It is the public who gives the writers the plot lines to work with, then to the TPTB for revisions and rewrites, off for a read through and then you see it in a day or two later.
In some ways you wonder if this is how they are approaching this whole thing. Small acts of a multiple act play. Go on stage play your part, leave and go back home.
Will Jake be like Harold Crick and convince the writers to change the ending to the story. Maybe to let him have the ending he really wants, instead of the one is now has to play?

IHJ - Jake Reese Halloween Trick or Treat
UPDATE: 1:12pm
TMZ - Jake's Pap Smack
UPDATE 3:25 pm
IHJ Media - Jake in Beverly Hills - October 31st.
Was someone referring to the 800 lb. gorilla in the room in the previous post?
ReplyDeleteGood one BV.
ReplyDelete:-) As bleak as it gets, I also know that eventually someone here is going to make me smile or laugh.
ReplyDeleteLOL - there are lots of meanings for "the guy in the gorilla suit". We've come up with two! It's also a standard HW gag too in comedies, isnt't it? I just think symbolically like that; but who knows? Sometimes a gorilla is just a gorilla - but I always think J knows exactly what he is doing! ;)
ReplyDeleteOf course there is Magilla Gorilla
ReplyDeletefrom Wikipedia :
"Magilla spent his time languishing in the front display window of Mr. Peebles' pet shop, eating bananas and being a drain on the businessman's finances. Mr. Peebles marked down Magilla's price considerably, but Magilla was invariably only purchased for a short time, typically by some thieves who needed a gorilla to break into a bank or by an advertising agency looking for a mascot for their new product. The customers always ended up returning Magilla, forcing Mr. Peebles to refund their money. Magilla often ended each episode with his catchphrase, "We'll try again next week."
^^ . . . or by an advertising agency looking for a mascot for a new product. Interesting. Hee! At any rate, I'll bet the kids loved him in that gorilla suit. I cant wait to see. :)
ReplyDeleteI do have a question about the hirsute hider - how did the Paps find them out trick or treating without getting tipped off. Doesn't Reese live in a gated community. And they are in costume. Did management drop the dime and say look for a gorilla and witch?
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way, I am amused that these costumes are indicative of them - Jake is hairy and Reese well some would say she's ....
Oh I didn't realize that! There's also "monkey on your back" too. There's also, sorry, I just couldn't resist - "c'mere, ya big gorilla! Hopefully Austi Spumanti said that! ;)
ReplyDeleteOf course there is "I'll be a monkey's uncle" too.
ReplyDeleteAnd how could we forget "monkey business"! Ok, gotta get back to work before I get in trouble! ;)

ReplyDeleteIt's possible the pressure to play this game is coming from Reese's side and jake's side just saw some benefit to him in the long run. Some studio (can't recall who now) has paid her 29 mil for her next picture. They are the ones with the most to lose right now. Their box office draw has just proven to be a loser. Their stomachs must be churning like the rapids.
Ted did warn us that the next 6 mos would be full blown tabloid time.
m Thanks soooo much for this post. I have been going over in my mind over and over again why reese would involve herself in a fake relationship. This is the best reason I have heard yet. maybe that is why she seems more interested in this than Jake. 29 million dollars is a whole lot of money$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
OT: Lance Bass was Married?!?
ReplyDeleteE!Online - The Gay Divorcee

ReplyDeleteRemember Reese and Jake are represented by the same management, so they have a stake in this too.
Interesting, 360's only other client - Kim Bassinger is playing Austin's mother in The Informers.
US Weekly on the Jeese family Halloween
ReplyDeleteJake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon had another PDA-packed public date Wednesday, taking Witherspoon's two children, Ava, 8, and Deacon, 4, trick or treating in L.A.'s Brentwood neighborhood.
Witherspoon, 31, dressed as a witch; Gyllenhaal, 26, an ape.
"They were holding hands and swinging them in the air as they walked around the neighborhood," adds a witness, who says Gyllenhaal often lifted up his gorilla mask to smooch his Rendition co-star. "Reese was laughing at everything Jake was saying."
As Ava (also in witch wardrobe) and Deacon (dressed as a super hero) ran up to every door for treats, "Reese and Jake waited on the sidewalk and flirted," the onlooker tells Usmagazine.com.
They even started to act like a pair of giddy kids themselves.
"Jake tapped Reese on the butt and then she hit him back — they began running a circle hitting each other!" the witness says. "Then Jake picked Reese up off her feet and she screamed."
Gyllenhaal seemed to play it cool during his first public outing with Witherspoon's children.
“Jake ran up to Deacon with the gorilla mask and pretended to scare him!” the onlooker says. “Deacon laughed.”
He also had a few scares for Witherspoon.
Adds the witness, "Sometimes he came up from behind and nuzzled his big hairy mask into her neck.”
My favorite part-
"Jake tapped Reese on the butt and then she hit him back — they began running a circle hitting each other!" the witness says. "Then Jake picked Reese up off her feet and she screamed."
Ah Janice Min -- you have done your dutiful job again. Us Weekly with the Reese and Jake exclusive.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you all made up after People magazine scooped you on the Rome and LAX photos!
Who were those witnesses exactly. Did US Weekly send reporters knocking on doors????
ReplyDelete"Jake tapped Reese on the butt and then she hit him back — they began running a circle hitting each other!" the witness says. "Then Jake picked Reese up off her feet and she screamed."
ReplyDeleteSeriously? Isn't this what you did when you were 13 and at summer camp?
No need for shuch things if it was bearding. Especially no need to involve the kids. Sorry I don't think Jake would do any of this. I think I am starting to think it is for real. In this case, sorry Ted, but what a pile of shit! Silly me I actually believed it for such long time. Now, I would have to live with a pairing I don't particularly like, but alas... :(
ReplyDeleteOh no, I feel the ground getting a little shaky under my feet - I'm wavering, people, HELP! I can't believe they would do this far if it wasn't for real? Plus with Austi being in Uruguay? What do you guys think? :(
ReplyDeleteThey are not going to make a monkey out me.
ReplyDeleteDon't buy it for one bit. Sorry -- this is so over the top contrived and staged for anyone over the age of 14.
Again if there is something big you have to cover up, you go big. And there is a lot riding on it. She has 29 million on the line, and he has the life he really wants to have with the man he goes home to after each and every Jeese production.
Don't think there won't be emails texts and phone calls to Uruguay multiple times a day.
ReplyDeleteJake will be working as well, and can put his Jeese face on the shelf for a a couple of months.
Austin is going to Uruguay in a few days. He's not there yet.
ReplyDeleteThanks 12:50 - Didn't catch you name.
ReplyDeleteWhat was it again?
Special K, you are starting to sound a bit delusional.
ReplyDeleteI would respond but I don't know who I am responding too.
ReplyDeleteAnon 12:54- you need a name.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, even if this is real, this PDA is over the top and looks like a show. They clearly want publicity out of this relationship.
Whew! Thanks Spesh, the voice of reason! You can't get much bigger than an 800 lb. gorilla I suppose! ;)
ReplyDeleteSaw Ian McKellen in Rufus' London gig last night :)
ReplyDeleteoh well... the tapping of the butt thing reminds me of the playful Jake. i can actually see jake going trick or treat with her kids without any implication of romance, but they've already past that point now.
who knows? in 5 or 10 years time, someone will write a bio or a special on gay hollywood and we just might find the boys' names on it.
Great post, BV... put a smile on my face. I love "stranger than fiction".
A different side of Jake
ReplyDeleteFor Halloween, the normally mild mannered Jake Gyllenhaal went all Mr. Hyde on a paparazzo. Boo!
Snapped riding shotgun in Beverly Hills, the 26-year-old showed none of that Brokeback love toward a photographer -- and smacked the lensman's camera. How butch!
TMZ - Jake's Pap Smack
Saw Ian McKellen in Rufus' London gig last night :)
ReplyDeleteCool, Winterbird. Did Rufus pull him up on stage?
And that's not Reese driving. Hmmmm
ReplyDeletewicked, no.. he didn't :)
ReplyDeletebut Rufus was on full Halloween costume at one point :)
who's in the driver seat then?
ReplyDeletedo you think it's telling sign that jake is under lots of stress? he never lost his cool toward the pap before.
If they went public before Rendition, Jake's gay friendly fanbase would be turning up against him in disbelief and angry pretty much as they are doing right now. So they were told to wait 'til after the movie was out. When it obviously appeared that the gay friendly crowd was not going to see Rendition or was small enough not to make a dent on the box office, they were free to go public and perhaps told to make it look real obvious, to kill the gay rumours.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but there is no Austin waiting at home, the guy is out having fun on his own, good fun! Not sure what went between he and Jake in the past. In any case they are still good friends.
but Rufus was on full Halloween costume at one point :)
ReplyDeleteWhat was the costume like?
I still have the slightly unpleasant feeling that J&A purposely cooled off their relationship back when the ring disappeared, BUT I hope that I’m wrong. At this point I have no interest in any relationship that Jake has with Reese or with anyone else. My interest has always been fueled by the oh-so-sweet relationship that existed between toothy and his bf. I’ve now become much more interested in the HW closet, Austin’s career and life, Jake’s career and the PR machine that seems to be controlling it, and where this will all lead. My real hope is that it all leads back to J&A being openly together again at some point. Once again, only time will tell.
ReplyDeletewho's that: Rufus was wearing a huge black witch/wizard hat with a black cap... :)
ReplyDeleteactually the band dressed up as wizards as well.
sorry... black cape.
ReplyDeleteDo you think that the reason Jake might have be so touchy with the paparazzi is that the other person in the car is the person that all this work the past few days is trying to hide?
ReplyDeleteInteresting thought, Special.
ReplyDeleteSpecial, the TMZ account said Jake was riding shotgun (which means he was by himself in the car).
ReplyDelete1:21,
Nice going. But that's not true. They didn't want the press to focus on their relationship when they were doing promotion for "Rendition," which deals with a serious subject matter. It had nothing to do with Jake's gay fanbase; they were never expected to be draws for this movie nor was this film ever seen as being commercial, important, yes, but not commercial.
Shotgun means the front passenger seat. It does not mean riding alone. Plus look in the first pic, you can see what looks like the edge of a guy's brown suit.
ReplyDeleteAnd how do you know that 1:40?
ReplyDelete^^edge = arm
ReplyDeletehaha... and now they are free of "serious subject matter", they can call up paps and do PDA?
ReplyDeletePlease use names anons, it's not difficult to use the "other" identity.
ReplyDeleteJake goes from private and mild mannered to slapping asses and shoving paps in two weeks. Nice. I'm reading he's stressed out and I can't help but think this was triggered by the person sitting next to him in the car. Why is he so tense and stressed out in public? He should be happy about finally being able to hang out openly with the woman he loves. If they were able to hide it for this long I'm sure they could do so now. The paps must have been hounding them even more before when there were no pictures.
I think there is a different story going on and it truly does remind me of Stranger Than Fiction.
1) Immensely private Jake and Reese suddenly all over the place.
ReplyDelete2) No visible chemistry on first pics & video.
3) Over-the-top & contrived (I agree Spesh) reported behavior during trick-or-treat outing.
4) Paps and witnesses conveniently at hand and eager to report on above outing.
5) Attention-loving Jake suddenly agressive towards paps.
I think Jake is being re-engineered both on the personal and professional levels.
In any case they are still good friends.
ReplyDeleteAnd good friends should be able to be seen together, right? If there's nothing going on between them, there shouldn't be any problems with it. And yet...
The plot thickens,I just went back to the pictures to try and see the brown sleeve, and some of the photos have been taken down. Tinhat, is the brown sleeve different from what the woman was wearing?
ReplyDeleteThe plot thickens,I just went back to the pictures to try and see the brown sleeve, and some of the photos have been taken down. Tinhat, is the brown sleeve different from what the woman was wearing?
ReplyDeleteI truly wonder if this will be over in six months. Reese would be back to square one and if she hooks up with another guy she might be blamed for exposing her kids to yet another BF, something that would clash with her "perfect mother" image.
ReplyDeleteShe brought her kids into this. I really doubt this is a short-term plan for her.
If they "break up", maybe they can blame the paparazzi because they followed them everywhere and took away her kids privacy. Who knows.
ReplyDeleteFrenchy, I think it's not a short-term plan for Reese either. I also think the original plan was to have the romance in the spring and summer before the film came out, and then break-up around its release date.
ReplyDeletei really doubt she brought her kids into a game to cover up a friend homosexuality relationship
ReplyDeletesorry i don't believe it , this theory is starting to become more and more ridiculous and desesperate
as for austin , yes if they are just friends , we should see pics together , nevertheless i shouldn't asthonished to learn austin prefer distance himself, simply bored by gay rumours
after all the story risk to hurt his weak career, much more than jake's in my opinion
the poor guy is only now to be the "probably" jake's boyfriend ,
if that is completely shit,i am really sorry for him
I can`t help wondering if "Jake is angry at the photografer" might be a part of the PR-plan. "Jake and Reese want to be left alone!"
ReplyDeleteI don`t know, but i do wonder.

I agree if you look at Jake the last photocall at TIFF,(the premiere) he has this look, I am done. Everything is done. Like he had completed his contract.
ReplyDeleteI guess it looks like the contract was extended.
This is such a stark contrast to the Jake we saw during his US promotion of Rendition. What happened to that guy?
ReplyDeleteDestiny, I sent an e-mail with the Pap smack picture and a red rectangle highlighting the brown-suited arm.
ReplyDelete^sent to OMG'ot.

Zero hang in there. My opinion and emotions changes every 5 minutes. So much so that Wicked calls me the John Kerry(Flip flopper) of OMG. Hang in there for a bumpy ride. Got to folow this through zero. It is getting too damn good.
tom, at least we are get a lot of Jake news!
ReplyDeleteI have the same sentiments. Going trick-or-treating to me is a real family thing that you wouldn't invite some random friend to come along for.
lol Tom, can we just call you flipper for short. Tinhat, I think the picture with the brown sleeve is still up, although I think it would be fun if your picture were posted for us to all analyze. What seems to be gone are pictures showing the driver.
ReplyDeleteThe whole set of pics are on IHJ of Jake and him lashing out at the paps. The person in the car with the brown shirt is some blonde, it doesn't look like the PA. The captions says that he was fine than lashed out and then apologized. They were taken Wednesday afternoon.
ReplyDeleteIt from famepictures.com. They make some snarky comments aout BO for Rendition and mention fauxmance and Reese suggesting that's maybe the reason he snapped.
He never was bothered by paps taking pics of him and his PA's in the past (If that's what she is), so why now and why not just roll up the window?
Let's not forget we're talking about Reese here.
ReplyDeleteShe had no problem pretending to be still with her husband for a whole year even when she had already told her kids that daddy would move out soon, because he and mommy aren't together anymore just so she can win that Oscar.
I think it would be a lot more confusing for the kids too see mom and dad posing together at the Oscars (which she said the kids were watching) and having their mom call their dad her "wonderful husband" when they weren't even willing to live together anymore than go trick-and-treating with a guy mommy kissed once.
I hate that they're going to such lengths, but it doesn't do anything to change my opinion that Reeke is fake.
3:15
ReplyDeleteI know that you must be winded from all of typing giving us more information on the pics, that must be the reason you forgot your name, isn't it?
Updated the post -- added the link to IHJ for the Paps Slap/Beverly Hills Pictures
ReplyDeleteYou have to wonder if the Paps said something to make Jake react. What could it be?
ReplyDeleteNor mine, stubborn! I'm with Frenchy on all points.
ReplyDeleteReeke is so full-on, so visible in the past few days after NOTHING, and all consequent on Ted outing Jake and Austin, all consequent on the possible existence of a - sshhhh :) (Talking of which, how can people say s/he's not real yet? Do they expect baby T to appear in a t-shirt proclaiming her/his identity? I'm being devil's advocate, a little, but you know what I'm saying).
As for this latest, involve the kids by all means, Reeke, but leave Atti out of it, eh?
I hate to think of Jake being swallowed whole by CAA and I'm afraid I think that may be happening. I don't like to think what he'll look like when they regurgitate him.
i am very impressed stuborn you know so well such detail about reese, what she is and how she behaves with is ex husband and kids
ReplyDeleteas for jake bothered by paps, yes for sure it's PR plan
let's see , i imagine them giving each day a script to jake with all the rules
"you must do this , say that ... "with all details of course and jake , simple puppet, obey
am i entitled to TB licence now ?
faux, gigi, clemence, french lady, you are SO not entitled :) You still make me smile, though.
ReplyDeleteTBs - those who are still out there - do check the GMTV interview and Jonathan Ross interviews again in light of current events.
Jake must be feeling the strain to lash out.
ReplyDelete"Talking of which, how can people say s/he's not real yet? Do they expect baby T to appear in a t-shirt proclaiming her/his identity? I'm being devil's advocate, a little, but you know what I'm saying)."
ReplyDeletei am waiting the birth pics LOL
Well my comments in the previous post still stand. Now even more so.
ReplyDeleteSorry scylla but "Atti" has already been polluted by Reeses hand. That stupid dog even seemed to like that. Shown on TV in the TMZ clips.
ReplyDelete"faux, gigi, clemence, french lady, you are SO not entitled :) You still make me smile, though."
ReplyDeleteit's the reason why i come here , to make you laugh scylla
but also because you make me laugh too
3:39 and 3:41
ReplyDeleteI got the name tags and my trusty Sharpie pen. What names should I put down for you?
I hate to think of Jake being swallowed whole by CAA and I'm afraid I think that may be happening. I don't like to think what he'll look like when they regurgitate him.
ReplyDeleteIt's his choice that this is happening. He's a grown man. I keep hoping he'll come to his senses. I really would like to see Austy right now and know that he is doing okay. Hopefully we will get some news of him when he starts filming.
I wouldn't disagree with that at all, Wicked, though I keep thinking he's only 26 and noted for being 'sharp' and maybe thought he could handle it. I miss Austin a lot too. Imagine how bad it would be now if there'd been no Ted post and no gorgeous ACL pic.
ReplyDeleteNow Reese would NEVER slut it up for Halloween.
ReplyDeleteReese and Jakey went trick-or-treating in full costume last night with her kids in Brentwood– she as a witch, he as a gorilla. Apparently the two were deliriously happy, holding hands and flirting and kissing and nuzzling and still desperately trying to save their movie and the DVD in a few months?
Reese loves campaigning with her family – she earned an Oscar that way, though I wonder if this doesn’t sting just a little for Ryan Phillippe. Too bad cheater!!!
Even Lainey, who believes Jeese to be real finds this PDA to be a publicity stunt.
There's an autographed photo of Austin on ebay. Any handwriting analysts here? Also, is that a pic of him signing the photo with his fingerless gloves? :)
ReplyDeleteLink
What did Ted say last year? Give Toothy another year and you'll see a "breakthrough or a breakdown".
ReplyDeleteUnhappy, stressed, pap-hitting Jake doesn't sound normal for him. If he's still with Austin it'll ruin their relationship. Or they've just split and Jake's feeling the strain.
BTW someone on WFT says they've got some kind of story of Jaustin sharing a passionate kiss in a gay club.
"They make some snarky comments aout BO for Rendition and mention fauxmance and Reese suggesting that's maybe the reason he snapped
ReplyDeleteDid they really? Or is someone just trying to blame tbs for Jake's glumness?
I'm disappointed by Jake and not because what his orientation is supposed to be,whatever, actually we don't know that, but more I'm disappointed with myself that I was naive enough and idealized Jake into solid decent character type while now at full throttle he's appearing as only another load of HW well trained( or in training)monkey in a display window
ReplyDeleteI'm sure if Austin was A lister, rich, famous star with strong position in the business as she is Jake would be long ago out if not wed already
I can`t help wondering if "Jake is angry at the photografer" might be a part of the PR-plan. "Jake and Reese want to be left alone!"
that was first thing in my mind after seeing the pictures
hmm, maybe his own initiative
Even he ( if is not complete i..)must have realized they overdone their piece so logically why not to turn opposite direction for change-"leave us alone", it looks more credibly.
from flynet:
ReplyDeleteOne of Flynet's own was kindly handing out candy to Halloween trick-or-treaters, when suddenly, Reese Witherspoon, Jake Gyllenhaal, with Ava, 8, and Deacon, 4, knocked on the door to get some sweets. The Flynet photographer did what any self-respecting candy passer-outer would do in his shoes - he gave them a treat and let them walk away so he could later give them a trick, so that we could all enjoy the treats you're about to see when you click more. You won't regret it, trust me!
Honestly don´t you think it would be better to preserve some dignity sometimes?
No one here knows them personally.
These comments, as understandable as some might be, are only reflecting yourselves.
Take care, you forgot to link the video from that site. Sure doesn't seem like some innocent pap to me. Pretty hartless and Reese does not seem like a mother using her kids here http://www.flynetonline.com/2007/11/one-of-flynets-own-was/. I also don't see all the PDA that US Weekly was talking about.

"I'm sure if Austin was A lister, rich, famous star with strong position in the business as she is Jake would be long ago out if not wed already"
ReplyDeleteDon't think so. Two A-listers would have even more to lose by coming out. On the way up or on top of the pile any actor would be told it would be career suicide. Otherwise an A-lister would have done it by now.
Wow, whoever took that video is a complete asshole! That pap sure did suck, Paps Suck!

Oh My God
Its a good outfit for you Reese.
ReplyDeleteOh My God.
Well I dont believe they were looking to be papped last night so I am not gonna be angry that they are using the kids. And after that I certainly don't believe there was any kissing ang hugging going on.
I'm no Jeese fan but my god, what is wrong with that pap? But really what did Reese expect when she's trick and treating with her movie star "boyfriend" with her kids in Brentwood? And who was Reese referring to when the photog said "Yes, she's a sweet woman."
ReplyDeleteAnd who was that guy with the dog Jake was walking with in the first part of the video? I thought that was Peter S at one point.
Sorry but they asked for it.
ReplyDeleteDitto.
ReplyDeleteCome on! they are trying to act like the paps have the fault and that they are tired of being 'caught' (and Jake sudden agressive with the paps) to give some credibility to the showmance. It is staged to make it look real!

She was refering to the pap's mom
After that one I had to watch the beach video. They were just standing and talking until they noticed they were being papped. Then Reese put on her little show.
ReplyDeleteI thought Reese only had 2 kids. looks like she has 3 now. Damn I feel so mean but something is just not right. I now believe 100% it is a fake.
ReplyDeleteHey 6:11 and 6:19
ReplyDeleteDo you have any names that we can call you, or should we just go Seuss and call you Thing 1 and Thing 2? : )
Funny yeah they weren't even walking together. They guy did look a little like Peter S but not sure why he'd be there ... Anybody know who it was?
ReplyDeleteHmmm, where Reese and Jake together at halloween at all? They might have been. The guy that filmed them was clearly one person judging from his voice, but do we have both of them on that film and do we have both of them photografed together? Anyone who know?

I thought the same thing at first. But the guy is a black gentleman. Probably just someone walking his dog that jake talked to. They seemed to go different ways in the video.
I just think, if they were together, there will be photos of them showing that, don`t you think?

NG It looked like Rese was walking in front trying to scare off the paps the three kids oops I mean the twop kids and Jake were walking several feet behind her. She is one tough bitch. No wonder got the hell away from her. Again she asked for this. Sorry.
Ok, thank you, Tom. I still think this is staged. They must have known them together, as a new "star-couple", would get haunted by the paparazzi. Reese covering her face and telling the photograf he scares the kids is one hell of a bluff if you ask me. (wouldn`t Jake in his gorilla-costume scare them more?;)
ReplyDeleteThey are so obviously playing the "we want to be left alone"-game. They got critisized because they were too comfortable infront of the paparazzi, now, try the opposite!
I have seen many photos of Reese with her kids, but i usually don`t see her hiding her face with an arm. She tries the old game, but that game gives her away. Please... the more you try to show you won`t be photografed, the more you will be. Or something like that(at least it seemed like an old game in my head:)
They want this. Don`t buy them!
Tom, you keep calling Jake a child but you are the one sounding like one.
ReplyDeleteLet's keep tabs just for fun. That's three videos already, right? And how many pics? Almost 100? In a matter of a few days? Wow. And to think this is just the beginning...
ReplyDeleteReese is one hell of a tough cookie and she makes insane amounts of money. HW being HW she's running the show right now.
The sad thing is that some will fall for that "mean, mean, paps" lame excuse.
From the Newest In Touch:
ReplyDeleteAre Jake and Reese Faking It?
Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal kissed and held hands at Kate Hudson's Halloween get together. "It was their unofficial coming out party", a guest at the October 27 event says. “Reese even introduced Jake as her boyfriend.”
But it is the timing of the couple’s sudden display of affection that’s raising suspicions that this is a publicity stunt. The actors were first photographed kissing on October 22, just days after their movie Rendition opened. “I’m inclined to say to that it’s fake,” says celebrity blogger and In Touch contributor Perez Hilton. “It’s all too convenient, and it isn’t a coincidence.”
Perez wasn’t the only one suggesting the relationship was devised to boost Rendition’s ticket sales and enhance the stars’ appeal. On October 25, New York’s Daily News’ Gatecrasher column ran an item, asking: “Which Hollywood faux-mance is being cranked up higher as their film sinks at the box office?”
Jake, 26, who hasn’t had a serious girlfriend since Kirsten Dunst in 2004, has also been the subject of rumors that he’s gay, “which started with Brokeback Mountain,” says a film industry insider.
Reese has something to gain, too. “She hasn’t dated anybody since her separation from her husband, Ryan Phillipe,” says the insider. “She appears stuck up.”
Those close to the couple insist that pair are truly in love – and that Reese, 31, whose divorce was finalized on October 5, was being cautious for the sake of her kids, Ava, 8, and Deacon, 4. “Jake told me that he and Reese are dating, but it’s been her choice up until now to keep it under wraps,” his pal explains. “This whole dating thing is still pretty new to her. But Jake says if it were up to him he’d shout about it from the rooftops.”
jake in a gorilla suit? do we even know if it's actually him?? lol.
ReplyDeletePerez Hilton doesn't buy Jeese? Perez Hilton! If I hadn't just done my nails I'd go beat him up. That guy changes with the slightest breeze. Take a position, already!
ReplyDelete^No wonder Ryan got the hell away from her.

ReplyDeleteTom, you keep calling Jake a child but you are the one sounding like one.
Today is my day to voice my anger and I am taking advantage if it. Right now I am angry as hell at Jake for several reasons. Tired if you dont want to read my quotes skip over them and move on to the next.
i love that all the "blatantly fake" bits on those rags' reports always come from "a source close to the couple", a friend, a pal. Who? like Chris? At least Ted's amigos are funnier.
ReplyDelete“This whole dating thing is still pretty new to her. But Jake says if it were up to him he’d shout about it from the rooftops.”
ReplyDeleteNow is his chance. Doesnt look like he is doing much shouting to me. Tom Cruise made an ass out of himself on Oprah and the respect people had for him was never the same after that. It was a huge mistake. Jake has a few weeks to take command of his life and his career. Right now I am betting he doesnt have the balls. Sorry.
Something of a visual respite, perhaps:

Jake & Peter InStyle Photos (from IHJ and WDW)
I'm just over here shaking my head at the latest. I'm particularly disturbed by Jake lashing out at the paps. We could see a pattern forming here: unbelievable Jeese/reeke event followed by red flag behaviour thrown up by Jake. I'm curious to see what his limits truly are in all this.
In these times(hell you really can get all frustraited because of a celebrity. Stupid isn`t it? At least we show emotions and that`s a good thing:) I love we can have this weird (yes it is very weird, i have asked friends!)interest. Not many like us is there? At least not many who dare to speak. Love you all!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, "his pal"? Not "a" pal, "his" pal. I actually think Jake's social circle is quite small, so who would the pal be? Chris? Peter? Mario? Austin? Atticus? Oh wait, it's fabricated copy. To go along with the rest of this fakery.
ReplyDeleteSomething of a visual respite, perhaps:
ReplyDeleteGreat pics bltb, as usual. I remember that guy. :)
Oh, and while I'm all riled up like Alan Arkin in Rendition...
ReplyDeleteBACK OFF FROM OUR TOM!!
I love we can have this weird (yes it is very weird, I have asked friends!) interest.
ReplyDeleteNG, apparently the human brain is hardwired for taking interest in other people's behavior. Therefore we're only doing what evolution dictated and are quite normal! :D
I think so too, frenchy:D
ReplyDeletebltb.. ITA, back off from Tom.
ReplyDelete"shout it from the rooftops"?!
ReplyDeleteLazy blatantly made-up cliched quote. He doesn't look like a man who is thrilled to be finally open about his love to me.
Jake says if it were up to him he’d shout about it from the rooftops.
ReplyDeleteSo why does he look so goddamn miserable then?
After months of speculation Witherspoon and Gyllenhaal have finally "come out" as a couple, with what looks suspiciously like staged pics of them loving it up in Rome, in "discreet" public locations such as the Trevi Fountain. Famous magazine, which devoted its cover to the news, offers commentary worthy of a Mills and Boon novel.
ReplyDelete"The couple rarely let go of each other's hands and, on the rare occasion they did, Reese opted for a piggyback or placed her hand tenderly in Jake's trouser pocket." And, "Jake wouldn't let go of her. He kept stooping down to kiss the top of her head and she squeezed his bum more than once." OK, that's enough now. The kids are still up. Woman's Day is also in the mood for love, devoting four pages to the wedding of 2003 Big Brother winner, Reggie Bird, who the magazine seems to have mistaken for someone with the same celebrity status as Princess Diana.
The Day offers an exhaustive account of Bird's "big day", which is guaranteed to put you to sleep faster than Temazepam, given that no one actually cares about the former reality TV star. Not even just a tiny bit.
Moving on from romance and weddings, NW bravely stands on its own this week, ignoring Rove and Tasma and Reese and Jake on its cover (and Reggie throughout the rest of the mag, thank God).
Sorry - that was from the Sydney Morning herald, yesterday.
ReplyDeleteAnd hasn't that "shout it from the rooftops" line been applied to Jake before? Lazy is right.
ReplyDeleteMore Skeptics, where is that from, can you post a link or tell us what magazine/newspaper, etc?
ReplyDelete"shout it from the rooftops"?!
ReplyDeleteHe has done that and done it even better he sang it out on national TV - to his Austin.

What do I need do to see it?

ReplyDeleteJake Reese Trick or Treat video
Oh, before I forget, thank you for playing my song! :)
ReplyDeleteIs anybody else in disbelief that Perez Hilton says Jeese is a fake? He has been such a Jeese-lover in the past! Sometimes I think Perez isn't sure which side of Jakey is going to win so he backs both gay and straight.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I am also surprised that InTouch flatly stated that Jake had gay rumors.
Jake, You're breaking my heart!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Special
ReplyDeleteI think her neighbors must love her right now, when they got with "tricks and treaters" also paps
real horror Halloween
poor kids, Is too cynical from me to say "They better get used to it ."?
I wish It was, but sadly it's more like "good" advise from now on.
As for this latest, involve the kids by all means, Reeke, but leave Atti out of it, eh?
ReplyDeleteScylla, what a moronic comment.
Ditto frenchy and norwegian girl.
ReplyDeleteWicked, maybe Perez is feeling left out now that this thing has gone mainstream and he's been left out of it. Or maybe he thinks he has to take the contrary view to everything to get attention.
I think the In Style article is very interesing. This whole Jeese thing has given them an excuse to bring up the gay rumours, which I don't recall magazines of that ilk doing before. And then they point out the lack of a serious gf for 3 years. Of course they end it with pr dribble, but still, I think the whole tone undercuts that. And the shouting out in this context makes it sound all the more fake, I would think, to even the average reader who knows nothing.
Remember this is a community and res respecting each other.
ReplyDeleteMoronic really doesn't fit in that category
The shouting out from the rooftops is an old quote that I believe ran in US Weekly from the early summer. In Touch had to present that viewpoint otherwise the article won't look balanced (yes, even In Touch has to do that). Good for them for bringing up the gay rumors. (US and the other rags would NEVER do that although they know about it I'm sure). Good for In Touch for printing that Gatecrasher rumor--excellent. And Perez Hilton slays me. Give me a break. Why doesn't he call them fake in his blog?
ReplyDeleteSorry Special, but as a mother I don't respect one bit someone who makes a statement like that.
ReplyDeleteThe people posting on this blog about Jake and Reese's faux-romance, and his alleged closeted fake life with her and her children, are more unhealthy mentally, than three-fourths of my psychiatric patients.
ReplyDeletewell, I wonder after the trick or treat video, where Reese looks upset (and with her kids too) and the pics of Jake lashing out at a pap, they'll say the paps won't leave them alone, are on to them constantly ( Reeke pics are dime a dozen now) and they'll say they have decided to go on the down low?? and not be seen again? (hopefully!:) )
ReplyDeleteAustin should be appearing in FNL soon, shouldn't he?
ReplyDelete"The people posting on this blog about Jake and Reese's faux-romance, and his alleged closeted fake life with her and her children, are more unhealthy mentally, than three-fourths of my psychiatric patients."
ReplyDeleteyes TB need some help
alas there is nothing to do
"Austin should be appearing in FNL soon, shouldn't he?"
before or after the pasionate kiss in gay club with jake ?
anyway who care?
2:54 As a physician you should know that you need to hang out your shingle
ReplyDelete4:47 Way too early for numbers without caffeine for me. Better with names.
French lady if I didn't care, I wouldn't ask. Perhaps you should consult your psychiatrist friend up above to find out why I care.
ReplyDeleteBetter yet, perhaps you should consult your psychiatrist friend to find out why you are the one talking about a passionate kiss in a gay club and I'm not. And why the Reeke true pairing forever cannot produce a passionate kiss.
And French lady if you pulled your head out of your ass long enough you'd realise I'm the one who wants Austin to be kissing someone who isn't Jake.
ReplyDeleteSomeone who doesn't have Reeke stink all over them.
A community give the right all have a the place to post opinions as well as the right to disagree.
ReplyDeletePlease remember to be respectful in doing so.
Please don't feed the trolls, they are too full and bloated as it is.
ReplyDeleteI don't have the stomach to clean up their mess after they spew.
New Post.
ReplyDeleteThat would make sense Special K if there was disagreement.
ReplyDeleteI asked a perfectly reasonable question about an actor's career. An actor who is one half of this board.
There was nothing in there for that smug bitch to have a go at so she had to bring someone else's words into it.
Where I come from you have to earn respect. French lady doesn't deserve my respect.
ego, sorry my humour went way over your head. Try using your id next time *

November 2, 2007 2:54 AM"
I find it odd that someone posted this, anonymously to boot, stating that they are an alleged psychiatrist, and asserting that people posting re: this topic somehow have a problem....and the fact that the anonymous poster wrote this at 2:54 a.m. does not point to their own strong interest in this specific discussion?
If you were not so interested, why then post to a Blog that you had to conduct some real research to find? Just a query. On this board people do their utmost to speak mindfully to one another with "hit and run" jibes kept to a minimum.
We post and discuss because it is fun and interesting to exchange ideas and thoughts about a person people admire for their talent and spirit. For many, this issue is one that points to bigger societal issues in our culture, i.e. is there to be no progress if in 2007 there is still a Rock Hudson/Doris Day scenario unfolding using two major actors? Is it normal for a healthy, talented and great looking man to not have a girlfriend for 3-4 years straight (even post-Oscar nomination)? When will one's sexuality not color how mainstream audiences view talent? The queries are valid.
That said I for one though wonder if JG is bisexual. I agree with some on this board that it just seems surreal to me that anyone would go this far with a woman w/ two children just to get some box office receipts of a film that he is not really "carrying".
I am not yet at the same level of certitude as others are. JG may well go both ways or be a confused young man--it is easy to forget he is only 26 (and in Hollywood years, that can be around 19 years old). There is no question that it is not easy to be gay in Hollywood unless one works in television sitcoms or is a character actor solely and also not a box office hunk. One thing I always liked about Jake is he seemed to wear his heart on his sleeve, to possess joy and real talent.
I need more time to contemplate and to watch as this unfolds. While I agree his body language is not as fluid nor as sponteneous in photographs as it was with Ms. Dunst, I can't outrule completely if something is happening of some substance. I so want to continue to view him as a person of integrity. So it is not a minor issue we are all discussing. It points to some pretty serious issues both mundane and profound and society/cultural.
So hard for me to accept that he would involve children in some ruse. I may well be in denial.
