Tooth-Anon: For those suffering from our loved ones' Toothy obsession


[The following post was contributed by Wicked's Missus]



Gentle Readers:


As the spouse of someone obsessed with the "Toothy Tile" phenomenon, I have felt compelled to issue this post in order to reach out to fellow sufferers, letting them know that they are not alone.


Is your loved one a "Tooth-a-holic"? Here are some hypothetical questions to consider (a "yes" to any one of these is considered a "red flag"):
  • Has your loved one sent hundreds of text messages to a mysterious person named "Wicked," resulting in bankruptcy-inducing wireless bills?
  • Has your loved one missed her/his own childrens' birthdays because s/he was glued to the computer for days, awaiting the birth of an entity called "Baby Tile"?
  • Does your loved one embarass you at dinner parties by exclaiming things like "Jeese is bullshit!" out of nowhere?
  • Does your loved one spontaneously weep at the sight of certain celebrities' pictures, babbling "It's not fair! It's not fair!"

If so, do not despair. You are not alone. You are one of many people suffering as a result of their loved ones' Toothy obsession, and there is a solution.

We "Tooth-Anons" are the family and friends of these unfortunate people. We do not blame them any more than we would blame your average flaming schizophrenic for his or her condition. They simply suffer from an uncontrollable illness, for which only they can get help. But there is help. Below are some tips for living a sane and even happy life in the midst of the insanity that your loved one's behavior causes.

Tip #1: Just think "It could always be worse ... " After all, your loved one could be on the streets shooting eyeball-heroin, spending your childrens' college funds on Internet gambling, or joining a UFO cult.

Tip #2: We try to keep the focus on ourselves. So cultivate your own annoying, anti-social obsession! The following are some helpful suggestions:

  • X-treeeme Naked Stamp-Collecting!
  • Yodeling in tongues!

  • Roller-stalking!
  • Unicycle moto-cross!
  • Get knocked up! (Note: For women only)

Tip #3: To keep out of the trap of self-pity, we reach out to other suffering Tooth-Anons, providing each other with fellowship, healing, and the occasional tranquilizer.

If you, too, are a fellow sufferer, please let us know. Help is only a post away.

  2. Hilarious:D
    I think i might have embarassed my husband a couple of times with the Toothy/Jeese-talk. But wicked`s missus is right:It could have been a lot worse than having this obsession...at least a little worse.
    Hmmm...maybe i DO need help;)

  3. This isn't going to help with the obsession, but I saw the ART play version of Donnie Darko in Cambridge, MA yesterday and imho it translated really well to the stage, at least the way they staged it. Any other TBs in Boston or surrounds, I recommend you go see it.

    Cute! This is the one I usually give my spouse, embellished with a few more "it could be worse" examples! When I tell him the latest Toothy goings-on, he'll tell me he has absolutely no interest. It works for us! ;)

    Thanks to Wicked's Missus for shedding light on this problem. :)

  5. LMAO. Very funny.

    Spent the weekend staying at old friends' place and catching up. Managed to wonder what Toothy/Jake was up to only once so I'm on the way to recovery, I hope!

    I expected Jeese pics, but was half-thinking we might get "hot and heavy" spa pictures. Guess the troll got the flying out of Burbank info wrong. As for Jeese at dinner those pictures don't show me an adoring Jake. And the car pictures are odd because of the one where both look "meh" about the whole thing, then smile.

    *shrugs* Who knows? I was a causal observer about Vaughniston (just assumed they must be together cos of all the coverage) while Ted always maintained that was fake. If Jeese are fake they certainly seem to be putting in the hours.

    Looking forward to next week when we can talk about Austin.

  6. Tinhat, both Spesh and NETB saw that production and enjoyed it.

  7. Very Funny!! My husband is also baffled by my obsession, but he's come to appreciate how it actually benefits him. He has his own obsession with sports and with the political pundits. I'm not interested in watching hours of either so he used to have to compromise with me when we'd watch TV together. Now I'm less likely to interfere with his viewing habits if I get on the internet while he's engrossed in one of his games or debates.

    ReplyDelete
  8. LOL! Great post.

    and wicked's missus is right, it could have been worst, I could have been obsessed about star trek...

    in any case, i don't have such problem yet, cos my hubby still can't tell Tobey apart from Jake. *roll eyes*

  9. Kudo's to the Mrs.

    The Special guy in NY understands well, kind of understands, he is amused but is interested in the this whole mishegas from another perspective --the rollercoaster of fandom and the media. So I guess I supply much to that effort.

    But hey - one of the things we did as friends early in knowing each other, was lists we would email out of spare moments at work. One was 10 movies that made an impact on you. On both of ours? Some obvious choices, but also Donnie Darko.

    Funny he ranked it higher than me, and look who is the one doing the blog.

    Beware wolves in sheep's clothing. Can't believe how many questioned what Wicked and Special do here because of one person. Wow. Where's the respect for them? You guys do a great job and new posts all the time. Just wanted to tell you that. Chin up.

  11. LOL, can't wait for my gf to see this post, and the music, that song takes me back! What I always tell her is that I may be crazy, but I've had the good fortune to find a whole community of people who share in my craziness.

  12. x17online added a video of the friday night date.

  13. The video is mostly about Reese drinking water.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Can't look at work. Any PDA, hopeful?

    ReplyDelete
  15. Now Heath on the other hand, he's the one getting the PDA. The gos on Page Six today says that he was seen making out with Kate Hudson. Now, wait didn't she supposedly make out with Orlando at her Halloween party?

    So if we were playing the six degrees of lip locking.. Jake kissed Heath in BBM, Heath kiss Kate in NYC, Kate kissed Orlando in LA, so it was like Jake kissed Orlando a few lips removed.

    Now there's you proof. Jake and Orlando were out together that night.

    LOL!!

    Page Six - Locking Lips

  16. I love this post!

    My husband used to say when I entered the kitchen for the Xth time with one of our wild and weird theories about Toothy and the bf: "Before you start,... I believe everything, now can we get on with our lives...".
    I never could get him to believe in Baby-Tile :)

    The fact that I am convinced that there are other people with much stranger hobbies, makes me blush.

    ReplyDelete
  17. It seems like everyone is locking lips with everyone in HW. How do they have time for all that action?

    For those who can't or don't want to watch the video: it is mainly dark and blurry footage of Reese eating and sipping water. It is taken through the window and you rarely see Jake whose back is towards the camera. Both look grave and in the end they notice the camera and look pissed. It's a creepy stalking video + no PDA or smitten looks.

    One Adorable Blind Vice


    "Okay, sugar-muffins, the only reason this one's in the Vice section is because until quite recently, Toothy Tile was dating his superpopular, superannoyingly perfect girlfriend. Not boyfriend. Which, if you ask this old gossip whore, is the classification Tile would prefer his significant others be filed under in the very near future.

    Mere days ago, while everyone was hooting and complaining about this gown and that host from the Oscars, Tile was right out in the open holding hands with his man in a West Hollywood restaurant--which shall remain nameless...because I love going there and they probably won't serve me anymore if I start outing their customers, ca-friggin'-peesh

    Not that I'd be outting anybody, anyway. Mr. Tile took care of that himself. Covertly, but he did it.
    It was late in the afternoon; everybody had cleared out. Save Tile and his man-amigo, who extended his hands flat on the marble table (yes, that's a hint) until they were intertwined with Tile's. Massive smiles then appeared on both daring dudes.

    Too sweet! And such a departure for this debauched department, doncha think? Don't worry, as sure as Tile's famous ex knew, deep down, way below her doable dimples, what Tile really wanted (hence, the breakup), next week, we'll be right back on salacious patrol, damn sure.

    And it Ain't: Tobey M, Keanu Reeves, Jamie Foxx

  19. This is a great post, wicked's missus :)

    I was banned from saying the words J*** or A***** (especially A*****) over a year ago by hubby (much less such neologisms such as 'Jeese' or 'Baby Tile'). I have to rely on posting in stolen hours in cafes, or reading but not posting on my BlackBerry. Last night I was following the debate about the shape of OMG on the B/Berry, as usual telling hub I'd "just be a few minutes" and that there'd been stuff going down in the 'dom lately. At this point he expressed an interest!! and I cruelly told him he was months too late for that ... :)

    About the blog debate yesterday, I think you (Special K and Wicked) do a fantastic job. No way can we ignore what's being pushed right now, but whatever I feel about any of that I remain a huge fan of both J&A and it's good to be able to discuss them in Toothy graduate school and not get beaten about the head with the usual rhetoric - evil paps, Reese's kids, who's the bf, gay theories ascribed to BBM ... I also appreciate the moderation; cussing and battling anons is too dull. Thank you. *

    ReplyDelete
  20. Is there anybody here who is in the closet about their J&A obsession? I would love to hear about that. :)

    ReplyDelete
  21. Let's hear it, Who'sthat! Are you afraid people will think you're crazy? Do an intervention?

    ReplyDelete
  22. Three reasons:
    a) yes, people would think I'm crazy
    b) I prefer to keep my virtual life to myself
    c) there is no one in the RL who would care about all this so it makes sense to share it with those who care !

    Do you have a name to go with the link you brought?

  25. I don't mean to divert from the main discussion but..maybe that Anon from WFT was right about J/R just not the right days or the exact area? Or it is a setup? Could be a meeting.

    The of the blog is Yountville, above the SF area, in the California wine country. Odd, very odd.

  26. I really wonder how an obscure blog can be found so easily. Almost if there was a map to it for everyone to find it.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I have been to Yountville, if you go for a tour of Napa and the wine country you often visit there. A very famous restaurant French Laundry is located there.

    ReplyDelete
  28. I got it off another Jake site, so dont look at me if youre accuseing anyone. Really all someone has to do is a google or whatever search and have anything with the terms names feed into your email. But no, it wasnt me who found this, Im just the messenger

    ReplyDelete
  29. Wondering

    Didn't say it was you. Just found it interesting that it gets to a Jake site, any Jake site so fast.

    ReplyDelete
  30. hmmm, it is not so strange, as wondering said you just need to do a google search.
    Strange that someone mentioned Jake and Reese were going to Bay Area and here they are.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Hmmm, I looked the date it was posted on the bloig, and it was yesterday, 11/11. So they were there (if they were there and its not a setup (the blog has only been around for a couple of months) on Sunday. But I'm wondering too, if its too convenient, food, chef, a blog 2 months old. I wouldnt be suprised if "blogs" were formed to spread the word on celebs, or to take away the focus of whats really going on and where.. Not suprised at all.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Oh and guy said Reese was wearing a black wool coat. Same description as the coat in the Madeo resturant pics? Id think she'd wear something elsse in Wine Country, not so formal. And no pictures. Yet. Maybe x17 is getting slow.

    ReplyDelete
  33. So, there is only a mention of Reeke on that blog?

    I remember several months ago a similarly obscure blog touting that Jake had visited their resort in Idaho, and it turned out he spent the weekend in SF with Evelyn.

    I'm just saying.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Strange that someone mentioned Jake and Reese were going to Bay Area and here they are.

    Yes, very strange. It's almost as if someone not only knows Jake and Reese's every move,but they want everyone else to know it too. Why would such a private couple want that, I wonder?

    ReplyDelete
  35. I have to agree with hmmm.

    The thing was posted and less than four hours later it already shows up on the first fansite?

    Things don't show up that fast on Google and definitely not when they're posted on some little blog.
    Even big international news items need some time to show up on Google, and you can't tell me Reeke eating something is more important than that.

    Makes the whole thing really fishy. But if it's true we'll find out soon enough, since Reeke obviously can't go anywhere without being followed by the evil paparazzi.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Yeh supiscious tb, what a way to get your blog visitor number count up, more comments, more traffic. And then moneywise it maybe makes creates a buzz for your store, cafe whatever. More people, more sales.

    but then maybe Austin is trhere, in Yountville. Where is he? has anyone spotted him? or even Jakes's friend Chris? this trip could be real, Reese a beard/friend who tags along while Jake visits "someone".

    ReplyDelete
  37. Maybe one of you or all of us shuld post a comment or question on the chef bloggers site. and ask questions about evrything. why not? Someone else go first then maybe i'll do it.

  38. from PerezHilton:

    "Gyllenspoon’s Romantic Getaway!

    Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon are in love and investing in their relationship.

    Making the time to be together, sources reveal exclusively to PerezHilton.com that the couple have gone to San Francisco for a little vacation.

    Monday afternoon, the pair were spotted having lunch at the Slanted Door in the Ferry Building.

    “They were quite affectionate,” a spywitness tells us."

    ReplyDelete
  39. What I find creepy and strange was someone posting on WFT and here about the SF Jeese stuff days before they even got there. Seriously scary stalkers.

    ReplyDelete
  40. If this is not a setup I don't know what would be. First someone posts that Jake and Reese go to San Francisco and that there will be fanfare about it, then it shows up on no less that perezhilton!
    Than k you advance poster, you surely made very clear what's up with the whole J&R go SF.

    Slanted Door is an excellent restaurant by the way good choice

    ReplyDelete
  41. But why would they go to SF? Its just had the worst oil tanker spill, not a very romantic place to be right now. And cold. I really could think of better places, seriously. Sounds like its something else, like business not pleasure. Especially since Jake was in SF with his agent 2 months ago, whos also Reese's agent.

    And I don't believe blogs or so called witnesses who say they were "affectionate" I mean evryone has a different definiton. People thought Jake kissing Reese on the forehead with a big toothpick in his mouth during Rome was true love and hot sex. So whuts affection, a pat on the shoulder? I can't go by these vague dewcriptions anymore.

    And where is Austin? Anyone know?

    ReplyDelete
  42. Zero, usually vacations are planned in advance. So real or not how do you know it is a set up? Because someone emailed Perez and was stalkery and posted it here and WFT? I don't know about that. So, what though. I mean rehashing the Jeese stuff doesn't help. We get it, most here don't think it is real yet you go on and on about it.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Zero, I didn't see much of what was posted, just that J/R were going to SF or Marin over the weekend? And something like a comment about Jake going to Castro Street to be with men? (that mighta been a joke) But thats it. Can you tell me what you mean by there will be a big fanfare about it? Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  44. WFT poster - wrong date:

    Looks like they're in for a weekend in the Bay area. Left this morning from Burbank.
    11/09/2007 6:54

    ReplyDelete
  45. If they really are there, I have only one question:
    Do they ever stay in?

    They seem to go out to eat every day. What kind of couple can't even spend one damn afternoon just being by themselves? (Remember, this is the couple that seems to be photographed either going out eating or driving together from one of their houses to the other in LA and the couple that spent those two days in Rome sight-seeing with an army of assistants.)

    What kind of romantic get-away is it, if you're going to restaurants every single afternoon and then spend the day at picknicks?

    Aren't they supposed to be all hot'n'heavy? You'd think they couldn't tear themselves away from the hotel room, not spending the whole day and afternoon surrounded by other people at what appears to be very busy restaurants.

    And yeah, Zero, if it's true, then it's such an obvious setup.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Ok tired tb, I see how you're tired about Reeke. But at least its news, its happening right now. What's new with Austin, whats going on with him, anything current, what did he do yesterday, this morning? We can't just keep rehashing about something he did what, like a month ago.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Great post Mrs. W. I just spent my vacation annoying the hell out of one of my best friends. He had no clue why he was taking pictures of me at some closed little rinky dink store called the Chilmark store.

    I also think he was very annoyed with my txting. Of course half of those were with your wife.


    Then to top it off I dragged him to a movie he had no desire to see so I could see Jakey and be with my tb posse. This of course was on the way home from vacation when all he wanted to do was get the hell home.

    Oh well he survived and I had a ball.

    Maybe there should be some type of blog were the suffering love ones of TT lovers can share their experiences. Very very sad:-)

    ReplyDelete
  48. Can't wait for all you fools to see this weekends lovefest. It will be so great and you can be sure there wil be cameras that follow

    This was posted following the message who'sthat just posted above, which was cut and pasted here from WFT.
    Tired TB, if you are tired post something other than 'I am tired of what you are saying', stop pointing your finger at me other people are posting about this subject so it is of interest to others too. Site owners can tell me I need to shut up on a subject, sure not you.

    ReplyDelete
  49. It will not surprise me at all they are actually there. Last time Perez said they were getting cozy in Rome, we got A LOT of photos a few days later.
    Do they spend time with other people at the moment? IF you should believe the magazines and think they`re for real...they have been for almost a year now. Do they feel so in love now after finally "coming out", they have to go out about every day?
    Could jumping on a couch be far away? Desperate actions to try stealing the spotlight from Brangelina?

    ReplyDelete
  50. He had no clue why he was taking pictures of me at some closed little rinky dink store called the Chilmark store.

    ROFL!

    ReplyDelete
  51. Burborn and Tired TB,
    Austin will be on Friday Night Lights this Friday, it looks like. So there will things to say about him after the show airs. You're right, though, it is kinda hard to talk about the guy when we have no idea what he's up to for such long periods of time.

    Tom, I just busted a gut! :)

    ReplyDelete
  52. The only being put out by my time and energy spent on Jake and Austin is my cat. She sits at the end of my bed with her front paws on the frame and is pretty vocal about her distaste. :)

    It really is creepy and suspicious that the WFT poster knew Jake and Reese were going to be in the SF Bay area. Creepy because it's seriously stalkerish and suspicious because all of Reeke inherently is. But someone musing about the possibility of restaurants or businesses creating blogs to drum up trade by mentioning celebrities OR pr firms doing the same would not surprise me in the least. Nor would "fan"-type posts made on celebrity blogs to create interest or advance say, a showmance schedule for clients. But I think we know that's plausible enough.

    ReplyDelete
  53. norwegian girl, come on I doubt Jake will be couch jumping. He is not Tom Cruise, not a Scientologist, etc.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Zero,

    I think thee are posters swooping in and masquerading as TBs - OMG I'm sure would encourage you to say anything you like. Perez is slipping if he doesn't have pictures of Reeke.

    I'm very saddened by this oil spill - the worst in two decades in the beautiful San Franciso Bay, and it didn't have to happen, it's due to human carelessness, as usual. I took part in a cleanup when one of a similar size happenened in my area, and it's not pretty. It stinks to high heaven, most of the birds and wildlife will not survive, and it will stay in the environment for a long time to come.

    I wish we'd get serious about environmental issues, I really do. Humans are destroying the planet. Double hull tanker legislation was passed in 1990, but the oil transportation industry has until 2020 to convert to over double hulled ships! You'd think the oil companies, who make money hand-over-fist (9 billion $ in one quarter for one company) would have taken some interest speeding the process along, and making sure the transport of their product doesn't hurt the environment, instead of lobbying Washington to drag it out the process for as long as possible to benefit themselves. I hope the city of San Francisco sues the ass off this transport company, like we did in Mass when it happened to us. I shudder to think about the one that also happened in Russia, which is worse. Sorry, just had to vent. :(

    ReplyDelete
  55. Nono, maybe he`ll do with a chair;)
    No, i don`t know how high they`re goals are, but yes, i really do think they are seeking publicity. That`s just my opinion.

  56. I wonder if Austin is already in Uruguay or is heading there after Thanksgiving?

    Hopefully he will get to spend Thanksgiving with family and I am hoping even more that he gets to spend it with Jake.

    ReplyDelete
  57. Yes, what is going on with Austin? That will be the true test, what happens on Thanksgiving, IMO. ;)

    ReplyDelete
  58. I've been away for awhile and if this was not already said, I believe and have for a least almost a year now that someone in Jake's camp (either PR, publicist, friend, family, agent or paid blogger) minitors these sites (0MG /WFT)!! Sure, there are trolls who have invaded us like an unwanted virus, but I think they are middle aged fat men/women eating bon bons monitoring the www to bash the Jake (bi/gay) rumor so that they will have there go with Jake soon as he is thru with Reese. They can tolerate J/R. But my point is there is no STALKER, someone truly in the know of what Jake does or his plan is monitoring these site.

    ReplyDelete
  59. Also, didn't a Poster in the know post that Jake, Reese, Maggie, Peter would be vacationing the holidays in Hawaii? Hmmmm

    I agree. Seems like everyone was talking about how Jake and Reese looked stressed out and not happy. Then we see them smiling and happy driving this weekend.
    Then here we also mentioned that X17online was getting all the jesse shots and dont you know those same smiling faces had Flynetonline posted across them the very next day. Amazing.

  67. Ted says he is not inviting Toothy Tile to his wedding. I think that is just wrong! After all, he owes TT so much.

    ReplyDelete
  68. Then next letter after Ted saying Toothy is not invited to the blessed event comes this:

    Dear Ted:
    Regarding the Reese and Jake thing—um, can you say "bitter much"? I'd think ol' Jakey-hon must've rejected your advances in the past, with all your snarkiness and not-so-lightly veiled innuendos about his sexuality. Must be so awful knowing all kinds of "truths" and not being able to spill a factual drop, instead of hiding behind Blind Vices and nasty innuendo. Oh well, you are the queen at that, if nothing else!
    Kiki
    Portland

    Dear All Wet:
    Even before I was (happily) engaged to be married, never been into little boys. Besides, Jake never offered, and I certainly never asked. And girlfriend, we tell plenty here at AT. Otherwise, doubt you’d have your thong so in a wad.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Yeah, where have we heard that before, as late as yesterday or the day before? ;)

    May I make a request for OMG radio? "Jigsaw Falling Into Place" by Radiohead? ;)

    ReplyDelete
  70. Right now I think Ted is on the defensive big time and he is pissed. There are Jeese pictures everywhere. He has no way to fight that. He can't reveal his sources and he has no proof(no pics). Right now Jeese real or not is winning the war.

    My quess Ted just has to wait it out. When they break up he can act like a peacock again by saying I told you so.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Who always says "bitter much" - one of our favorite trolls? Somebody posted that either here or at WFT, for what it's worth. Broadwing? Rubbing it in that Ted can't say anything without being sued, maybe. I still can't buy this, the timing is just too convenient. I'm happy to be proven wrong, but . . .

    ReplyDelete
  72. Special, could you paraphrase Ted's answer for me, specifically "And girlfriend, we tell plenty here at AT. Otherwise, doubt you’d have your thong so in a wad". Not sure what it really means. Thanks!

  73. I'm also pretty sure Jake's team monitors WFT and now OMG. You could just tell by the speed at which rebuttals or arguments came on WFT, and the writing style quickly became recognizable. I'm guessing they have a flack assigned full time - or at least 8 hrs a day.

    Google does have a feature where you can expand the search criteria to blogs and get an email alert when you get a hit. I did it around 1:00 PM and while at work and the Napa story came up 1st or 2nd page. The blog looked suspicious immediately. I've also seen comments added to a post weeks after everyone stopped commenting just to rekindle a topic. Another tactic to get the news out there.

    Now who else would Perez's sources be but PR. The idiot who leaked the Bay Area news did us a favor so we know it was a set up all along.

  74. Ted also said this-

    Dear Ted:
    I just read your column today regarding Jake and Reese and their "relationship," and all I have to say is: brilliant! I especially like the part where you wonder whether Jake would like riding "on top" of the trolley.

    Well using my version of the Ted translator (which might be an old version) I get this:

    Listen bitch, we name names and tell it here at the Awful Truth. (I have to think that he is referring to telling all about J & A in NYC.) Otherwise your panties wouldn't be in such a twist.

  76. Well Ted seems to be reaffirm Jake's position on certain issues it seems.

    NO! A poster wrote it first and their attitude was a watch and see attitude, just as the they will be holding hands after the Rome thing. I do remember!!!

  78. Ted seems to have his panties in a wad there. And if he isn't into "little boys" he sure is obsessed with one and doesn't mind talking about Jake to get hits on his sites.

  79. I got to tell you if this relationship is fake and Jake's family plays the game then I will lose a lot of respect for the Gyllenhaals. Even if Jake and reese are just friends they know what is going on. I really hope I dont see this but I fear we all will.

    The most decent thing Jake has done so far has been to keep his friends and family out of this little show. I hope he has the deceny to keep it up but again my hopes are not high.

    Eastcoastfan, can you find it? I think I remember this too.

    ReplyDelete
  81. I don't think family is involved, but I do think that they are aware of the sites. Reese also, NOW!

    I think mostly (PR, agent, publicist, paid person and maybe close friend). I'm leaning towards paid blogger.

    info is to convenient and Not a coincidence. It's all apart of cofusion plan. It's not a troll IMO.

    I do believe Jake is with Reese now though, but it still does NOT take away my belief that Jake is bisexual and had a relationship with a man. It's ok with me. I wish him the best in his endevers.

    OT: Friends and myself was discussing how this happens more than society knows about. Men involved with men while married and or with girlfriends. It really happens and most of them really want the married and hetro life while being secret about other sexual desires. Anyone wondered why BBM was a success although people ridiculed it.

    ReplyDelete
  82. I just noticed that Jake's picture is just below the wedding guest query and Toothy picture. I dont think that is a coincidence. Another mention of his being a bottom too.

    Ted's "No" is pretty terse. Is it possible Jake was feeding him info re the coming out to prepare the way, then changed his mind leaving Ted dangling. Ted seems pretty pissed to me.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Wicke it was about a month ago or around the time Jake was doing the late night and morning tv promos. And it was before he went to rome. It was also on WFT. If I can find it tomorrow I will post it. Very Tired, Night all

  85. (Ted's "No" is pretty terse. Is it possible Jake was feeding him info re the coming out to prepare the way, then changed his mind leaving Ted dangling. Ted seems pretty pissed to me.)

    I think this is a possibility especially with the success of BBM and Jakes comments about being naive and wanting to please people in one of his interviews. Hmmm the interviews again.

    Naive about the reaction to coming out (pro or con). And Jake having a need to please and be liked by everyone. It's all just my opinion though.

  87. Another strange thing about the WFT post is that I just read on another site that J/R were on a flight from Burbank to SF. Remember the poster said Burbank Airport? Most people would say LAX, cuz its more common. But to know about Burbank....is something weird, or something stalky or something PR. Something.

    here it is, the airplane sighting.

  88. I do want to add that I try to keep the details to a minimum because Mrs. D. just roll her eyes and tells me she can't believe how many details I know about J&A. She also couldn't believe how upset I got over the latest Jeese bearding. Her biggest complaint is that she can always tell when I'm on a Jake site because I don't hear what she just said (too true). My closest friends know, although some probably don't realize the extent of my obsession.

  89. Hi Destiny and Mrs. D.!

    I told my SO tonight, to just hang in there, that there's a light at the end of the tunnel. I am getting to be so over this - I'm really disappointed in this whole scenario, I couldn't have believed it unless I saw it with my own eyes. If I hadn't learned about the inner workings of HW, I'd have thumbed through some some PR sanctioned-rag magazine in the hair salon, saw this, and believed it without a second thought. I just hope superstardom hasn't corrupted anyone - very disappointing. :(

  90. Someone at work today was flipping through the latest issue of Hello Canada, came across the Rome photo story in glorious, huge technicolour and immediately slid the magazine over to me (knowing I liked Jake) and said, "Did you know these two were together?" First of all, it was so bizarre seeing those shots outside of the net (I thought People had exclusive rights to them?), but I then proceeded to tell them what my thought on it all were. My co-worker was surprised, but intrigued.

    But during the whole exchange I kept thinking, "wait a minute, what is this largely secret part of my life doing turing up in work conversation?" lol.

    ReplyDelete
  91. I'm pretty much with you on every point, netb. To me, Jake is now a million miles away from the actor I love and admire (and probably always will). Jake the person now exists in this weird parallel universe, the end of which we can't see or know. I wake up every day realising I can't reconcile the two anymore and I've accepted it until there's some change or shift. It'd be funny if it wasn't pathetic. If anything, it's put my focus back on what drew me to him originally - his work. But yeah, the rest right now is theatre (that is shockingly someone's life...)

    ReplyDelete
  92. ^^Me too, BLTB, it's always been about his work, it's what drew me to him in the first place, BBM. Perhaps it's best just to enjoy that. It's now getting so I can't even look at the personal stuff anymore, the proverbial train wreck. That two-year unique fanbase comment he made does make me wonder if he is as naive as everyone seems to think. :(

    I think I'm going cold turkey on this. Nite, all! ;)

  93. Just viewed the romantic dinner video. I had planned not to but caved in. Glad I did. Zero chemistry. Reese looks bored, does not even smile at him. Even after 10 yrs of marriage, I could not help but smile at my husband. Did wear off a bit after 20, but noone can make me smile like he does.

    Re talking about jake - husband does humor my hobby but his attention span is about 15 minutes every couple days or if something big happens. He does think Jake is gay based on lakers 1 pics. I'm good for about 30 minutes with my hairdresser once a month. He's openly gay and loves Jake too so I bring him up to date. At work and with friends, noone is remotely interested in Jake so I limit jake talk to about 2 minutes tops, if at all.

  95. I think we can expect another photo spread (a la Rome) any day soon showing the happy couple wandering around famous SF landsmarks. Maybe I'm delusional but I think the Saturday car photos were the first installment (the loving pair head to the airport).

    The horror that is Reeke has now sullied both Rome and SF for me (temporarily of course). Please guys, don't go anywhere near Berlin.

    ReplyDelete
  96. I have to agree with you about the video, m. If they were cozy during that dinner, that sure must have been while they were not being filmed, wich i doubt.
    I too expect holday-photos of the "couple" any day now.

    ReplyDelete
  97. I'm starting to hope that this Jeese thing is actually real cause otherwise what a lot of work is involved for something that isn't. Not to mention actually neglecting your loved ones.

    One thing though about the kids. Shouldn't they be spending more time settling in as a family? Getting the kids used to having Uncle Jake around?

    ReplyDelete
  98. I read somewhere the other day that pr companies now use the comments on blogs as instant focus groups. Just reading the comments on Perez, it would seem that most people are still very resistant to the lure of Reeke, which is encouraging. However, this observations sort of makes me agree with ag, because if it isn't real its a lot of work and also actually very bad publicity for both them.

    Who knows, I just wish there was some news (and photos please) about Austin, stuff Reeke.

  100. "While at the Carneros, Reese & Jake rented one of the resort's private "homes," which feature multiple bedrooms and over 1,000 square-feet of personal outdoor space"

    multiple bedrooms??? oh, me oh my! Now why do I find that hilarious?

    ReplyDelete
  101. Oh for god's sake, the detailed account in Ok just reeks PR all over it. And not to mention that we were warned about a new get together before this happened. Nice touch with the cancelled massages.

    I admit that I'm not objective in any way at this point since I've invested so much in the Toothy Tales. However, nothing about this couple gives any vibes of affection or chemistry. They look like friends, not even very close friends, in all pictures and videos. If they are really a couple I would be worried. There is no "first flush of love" nor "settled down and now cosy with each other" vibes between them. The amount of work they put into this does wonder me especially since they can't seem to get it right. I'm bracing myself for a new PDA spread. How about ruining NY for us this time?

  104. i do think jake's people (pr/agent) are monitoring the Jake sites and blogs, probably WFT, OMG and WDW... there are many cases of "premonitions" happened before on those sites. that's why i was hoping that dany would be defiant and keep WFT going. and at the end of the day, it's her blog and her decision alone :(

    in any case, if i was on the fence before (I was more like - I "want" to believe that J&A are together), this Reeke business actually pushed me towards the J&A side even more. Something just stinks. All much efforts are involved, if they are not covering something up, i don't see the logic.

    And yes, i agree... right now i can only focus on jake's works, i never have any interests on other Gyllenhaals and couldn't care less if they're involved in the Reeke business.

    if J&A agreed with each other to focus on their own career for a certain period of time and keep a low profile (and do PDA with women), then I hope at least they both produce some good work.

  105. Remember in Jan 2006 we had Jake's Floating Shoes on the Beach in those Jake/Austin/Sophia shots. Putting aside Lakers I one thing that convinced me something was been hidden was that whole pr effort. And this was before the rumors were at a height.

    Why were those pix released in separated sets weeks apart to make it look like Jake was dating Sophia, and then Austin was dating Sophia? Look back at the gossip columns and you'll see that's what was being said. (I'm not even including the possibly photo-shopped shots here!) Of course Sophia ruined it by saying she'd met both Jake and Austin together, and wasn't dating either. Didn't matter as it looked like dating to the general public.

    Someone back then thought it was worth the bother of all that to straighten Jake's image. Is Reese the new improved version of the Floating Shoes?

    I don't know for sure, actually. Although I'm convinced Jake and Austin were an item at one point I honestly don't know if that's over and Jeese is real. I still can't quite imagine a sane woman agreeing to such an arrangement.

    It all comes down to NY for me actually. If Jake was seeing Austin on the QT three weeks ago then Jeese is a cover.

  106. Thanks for the info, Anon 11:51. Do you have a name to go with it?

    Interesting that magazines like OK! continue to get the details about this "private" couple.

    ReplyDelete
  107. Max

    Jake was clearly with someone that made him happy that week in NY. Because he was bubbly if I dare say, that week, doing those interviews. And full of grins. Just remember him on Regis & Kelly when he was asked what he did the night before and who he was dating. Both got flashes of smiles and shiny eyes. Said it was all good. It sure wasn't Reese. Because you don't see that in any picture or video. And you won't see it. Because those grins and gushes were the real deal. And he flashed his Austin grin when asked the questions, like he was remembering the previous evening.

    And if it wasn't true about Ted's report about Jake and Austin. Then why would this current situation be ramped up with such fervor, and less than 5 days later.

    Just my 6 cents on it -- because 2 wasn't enough.

    ReplyDelete
  108. ITA with everything you wrote max. To me the beach photos are the clearest evidence that there was/is something to hide. It makes no sense that the photos were released on different days and Jake was cut out (not to mention the very obvious photoshopping). Sophia herself confirmed they were there all three and E! showed footage of them. Why was any of this necessary if they were all just friends or even if either one of the boys was dating Sophia?

    Also special - same thoughts on NY. Jake was a very happy boy while in NY, Austin smiles flashing around and all. Not so in Rome.

    ReplyDelete
  109. ^I agree SK that he was very happy that week. Saw him on TDS and he was almost giddy. Then you have Ted's NY sighting of him and A.

    I just vacillate between "Jeese is fake, no it's real" all the time cos I find it difficult to imagine Reese going along with a bearding campaign.

    ReplyDelete
  110. Special K, I absolutely agree with you. Reeke reeks of PR desperation. It's funny how this 'private' couple are all over the place offering daily updates of their 'hot romance' after one year of supposedly hiding.

    Not only that but they went public in front of an army of photographers just days after Ted outed Jaustin.

    and they don't have chemistry and they don't look happy. I am not buying this relationship at all!

    Jaustin forever :)

    ReplyDelete
  111. Isn't Reese running a terrible risk of looking like a complete fool if she went along with bearding, though? Why would she risk that? That has me scratching my head.

  112. Speaking of photoshopped pictures, have you seen Spooky2th’s posts about the possibility that a picture of Austin and Sophia Bush at the Glory Road premiere was photoshopped too?

  115. The horror that is Reeke has now sullied both Rome and SF for me (temporarily of course). Please guys, don't go anywhere near Berlin.

    Heh, my (initial) feelings as well, Meg - the fake romance is what did it. SF was the first vacation my SO and I went on together, and when I met his family. It was probably the most romantic trip ever; he gave me the grand tour - SF, Sausalito, Wine Country, Monterey, Carmel, Highway 1, Big Sur. We've gone out quite frequently since then, but that first trip I fell in love with N. CA. We spent our honeymoon and ten year anniversary in Hawaii - please don't taint that! To me, there's just to much gradiosity about this "romance". If it is real, I think it's also being capitalized on ad nauseam. ;)

    I read somewhere the other day that pr companies now use the comments on blogs as instant focus groups.

    Meg, why am I not surprised by this? It's done with the marketing of any "product". I'm still not buying it.

    I did, against my better judgement, watch the so-called "romantic" dinner video - it looks very uncomfortable, especially Reese. Jake actually looks upset about something. It's very intrusive, that could be why, or it's because it's staged. Then again, you can't have a passionate romance without a tiff every now and again. Somebody (at the next table)? ordered what looks to be a double Scotch? ;)

  116. ^They must be having a lot of tiffs then as I can't see the passion!
