Austin is the kind of actor that doesn't want everything, but he is the kind of person who does.
Confused?
While Austin does wants success as an actor and wants to be a star, he doesn't want everything that comes with it. Jake's life has shown him that. Yes Austin is ambitious but not as ambitious -- or should I say opportunistic as others who are in the pack trying to breakout and be a star. Seriously what the heck does his management/pr do for him? You don't see him at premieres of other things in HW, you don't see his name bold faced in the gossips every week, you don't see him trying to grab sound bites or inches of copy. Could he be working on becoming a star through, maybe hard work, and his performance and craft? Does anyone do that anymore?
So many times it has been said he is using Jake for his career. Well if he is, he really stinks at. Think about it, if an up and coming actress was dating Jake, she would be everywhere using the opportunity to be seen with him to get more coverage. Heck even friends go out and get seen with their more successful star friends to boost their image. But Austin seems to slip back from that instead of moving forward in it.
But as a person, Austin does want everything. He wants a career, a home, someone who loves him, a family. Funny isn't that what all of us want? Maybe not having everything about being a star will one day give Austin everything he wants as person.
I just am horrified at the comments about Jake and the way many of you are knocking him over and over and over. It is ugly, you all sound very ugly. Who are you to know what Jake is doing for Heath and his family. Why does he fucking owe you a statement? Really how is his grief and his life affect you so that you need to be so fucking cold hearted and self rightous. You talk about not knowing Jake anymore well you never did. He is an actor, he owes you a decent performance in movies that is it. Just leave the guy alone already! God how nasty and judgemental do you have to be? I had come here for Jake and Austin but this is really sickening and the worst side of humanity. I certainly wouldn't want to know or have anything to do with some of you if this is how you treat people that you don't even know.
ReplyDeleteJust to let you know that according to IMDb Pro, Jake's PR is D Public Relations Mara Buxbaum Publicist, the same PR for Heath Ledger. You can check the NY Times for her statements.

ReplyDeleteoh dear, not another guilt trip!
ReplyDeletethe aggressive Reeke campaign continues in People Magazine:
ReplyDelete"Lovebirds Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon, sharing an early bird dinner at Chabuya, a Los Angeles-area Japanese restaurant. Sitting at the bar, the couple "looked relaxed," a fellow diner tells us. Throughout the meal, they were seen touching and he kept his arm around her."
http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20173955,00.html
You wonder Jake wore his grandpa sweater to the early bird special.
ReplyDeleteI have to have find some fun in these People sightings. Remember how they had Jake out to dinner the night of the Emmy's too. Of course 3 days after the fact. Oh that's right he was seen IN Austin (TX) that same day, that time.
I have to think he was seen WITH Austin in LA that resulted in the one. You're getting faster guys, guess you made People's Monday deadline this time.

ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Austin, I actually had a dream that I was having an affair with him or should I say, we were leaning heavily toward that. (I would go to a cafe every day and then he would show up case the place and see me). Our last encounter got sexual without actually doing the deed. Then I turned around and lost him and spent the remainder of the dream trying to find him again!!!
ReplyDeleteHe doesn't "owe" anyone a statement. That is a ridiculous counter point.
ReplyDeleteIt is a customary thing for people who are linked in the public eye to make a statement if the other passes away.
Jake is not just another costar. For example, when Ed Asner died Mary Tyler Moore made a statement. It would have been impolite and a huge oversight for her to ignore his death.
Face it. He should have had his PR put out a statement.
Boo hoo hoo Jake is suffering. Who cares about him. The people who are REALLY suffering are Heath's family, Michele and I would say little Matilda but she's too young to know now what's going on.
ReplyDeleteOn a completely shallow note, I shouldn't be turned on by Austin in that picture, but I just am.
ReplyDeleteRE Reeke - I don't know how anyone can enjoy a relationship that is so obviously staged.
From the 'friends' telling us they'd get together before filming even started, to that one photo getting out of them on set, to us just happening to hear that Reese bans cell phones on set, to the contrived meetings in NY, to Jake and Chris just happening to be caught coming out of the hotel Reese is supposed to have visited, to Jake and Reese 'secretly' seeing each other but everybody knew about it, pretend sightings, pretend doctor visits, carpooling, pretend dramatic 'we don't even know each other' looks at the film festivals, pretend PDA, the big dramatic LAX arrival, Reese the 9.30 bedtimer who suddenly wants to go to every event in town, Reese, the woman who showed maybe one or two PDA photos with Ryan in nine years suddenly wants to grab on to Jake at every opportunity, to breakfast with the paps and taking every opportunity to go on a secret romantic getaway that is never actually a secret. These getaways get revealed on some obscure blog by someone whom claims that 'Jeese' were so cute and devoted to each other yet doesn't actually remember they've seen them until a week or more after the event. And despite, the bloggers supposedly being different people, every single one of them always notes how 'tiny' Reese is. Jeez Reese, you got a bit of a body image problem there.
This 'movie' has been rolling for long enough. It's time someone yelled 'CUT'.
Uh...Ed Asner is ALIVE. Still very much alive. You mean Ted Knight.
ReplyDeleteWent to People and Jake is the Celebrity Fun Fact celeb of the day. 360 is working hard.
ReplyDeleteI would have expected Jake to even have made a one-line platitude ("I was shocked and saddened...") by now as a common courtesy to a co-star. It would be normal. Can't think why he hasn't.
ReplyDeleteReese was smirking in the park photos? Smirking? And they were seen at a Japanese restaurant looking relaxed? Well, that just takes the cake now, doesn't it? What a couple of typical self-involved HW types. And planting rumors about him attending Heath's service are no more believable than this showmance. :(
ReplyDeleteNice pic of Austin!
This might sound weird, but I cannot stop thinking about Heath, it saddens me. And I was not even a fan, I liked him but not as Jake, and now I read the articles and comments on Heath, such a nice guy a great actor...It's so sad, so I think a lot about Heath and I don't even think about Jake. It's weird, and to tell you people on a Jake's blog (I don't know about any Heath blog, never was into Heath related blogs).

i think now jake never will be what we want him to be
ReplyDeleteit's a fact and i realize it' time to face it
i must say i don't believe anymore in jaustin as a couple but do hope they stay friends
My faith in Jaustin as a couple is fast approaching zero, but I still don't understand why Jake has hardly been pictured with any of his old friends for months. Either to let the fake romance "take" in the public eye, or if it is real Reese is the sort of woman who immediately bans her new bf's old friends. Either way, it's not a good thing.
ReplyDeleteReports are now that Heath died of a heart attack/natural causes.
ReplyDeleteMax
ReplyDeleteI still believe that that they are together. Again, there must be something very very important to them for Jake to go through this with Reese. And before anyone says career, it can't be. Because look at what this charade has done to his fan base. No I think it is something even more precious and important. Really what does Jake gain from this relationship with Reese. Does it make him appear straight? I don't think so, I think it makes him appear more conspicuous to the rumors. Does it make him happy? Look at the photos. Has it gotten him more movies? The deals that were announced for Brothers, Nailed, the Moon Project, and the Namath Picture - had been in the works for months behind the scenes. Has it gotten him more fans? The only things I think that could be gain is protection. Protection of something or someone.
Again something so cherish that you risk to so much to do this.
While the rose colored glasses are a bit smudged they are still on, thank you very much.
Jake has the worst PR ever. All you have to do is take a look at the comments at X17 to see that, and they can put all the plants they want in People, it is not going to change anything.
ReplyDeleteMy glasses are smudged too Special, so last night I went and put on some 3D glasses and watched U2 3D at the Imax. Nothing like some heart-felt musci and seeing Bono plant a big kiss right on Adam Clayton's lips in 3D to make me feel better; it's nice to be reminded that some men are not afraid to express how they feel about a colleague and friend.
Grrr, too fast with the send button. musci=music
ReplyDeleteDear 360,
ReplyDeleteIf all of us are willing to agree that Reese is tiny, classy, and a good mom, will you stop ramming it down our throats?
Sincerely,

AG, why shouldn't you be turned on by Austin in that picture? He looks hunky!
ReplyDeleteOMG, I saw a little bit of the clip of Daniel Day-Lewis' acceptance speech this morning - very, very well done. I'd forgotten how beautiful he is - he's got beautiful, twinkly eyes, and I love how he's wearing his hair now, he's got a very unique & romantic look, like from another era. He has an inner light, and he really shined last night.
ReplyDeleteDestiny, that U2 concert sounds like it was great!
Hunky. Wicked you so didn't use the word hunky. : ) Not that he isn't but I am having flashes of TigerBeat kind of covers on them. "Austin: Hunky Handsome and Hot 4 U!" "Austin Head over Heels" (complete with a fold out of the water skiing picture)
ReplyDeleteMaybe I have just lot it or maybe I can blame it the screeching and squealing all over Boston from grown women that NKOTB are coming back. No I am not one of them I am just trying to talk one down at the moment.
Austin is HUNKY!!!

I recommend leaving this fucked-up fandom behind, as it serves no decent purpose. Jake is not gay. He has been "cured".

ReplyDeleteI agree with you about the tall Texan without a doubt. I might go with Hot.
I think you are on a secret campaign to bring back the word hunky.
Best NKOTB story ever. Great friend (who is the NKOTB fan I am trying to talk down) is of course a HUGE Red Sox fan (natch, we are friends) and she has a share of primo seats in Fenway (6 rows behind home plate). It was during the 2004 playoffs, and we were both in the throws of tremendous Theo Epstein (GM of the Sox) crushes. At the time Theo use to sit in the stands to watch the game. Well she was searching and spotted him from her seats. Two guys were sitting next two her, both dressed alike, and wearing dark sunglasses and baseball hats and matching rings. She thought WTF are they dressed alike and wearing matching stuff and sunglasses at a night games. But she spent the game going on to the guy next to her about Theo, how cute he was, this and that. Around the bottom of the 8th the guys headed out, and she was still waxing on about Theo. Right then the girl in front of her turned around and said, "just so you know you have be talking about Theo to Donnie Wahlberg", she almost died. He and one of his brothers (not Mark)were there for the game. And today when the news about the reunion came out I im'd her with hey you might want to check with your buddy from the Sox game and see if he can score you tickets to see NKOTB.

ReplyDeleteTop Ten Most Promising Actors Under 30
Wicked, I just wanted to say that I very much liked your thoughts about Austin and how he's pursing his career and life. It is nice to have the chance to sit back and think about the professional and personal choices he's making. Thanks for posting it.
ReplyDeleteVery nice list, Special, of the top ten most promising actors, and I think very accurate. I've been admiring the work of a lot of them, especially our two favorites! Austin's co-star in FNL I have noticed, too.
ReplyDeletethe aggressive Reeke campaign continues in People Magazine:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20173955,00.html
When I put in the URL, it gives me celebrity couple sightings, but not one with Jake and Reese. I see Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, Josh Brolin and Diane Lane, Charlize Theron and Stuart Townsend, and Janet Jackson and Jermaine Dupri. Do I need to click a link or something?
Do I need to click a link or something?
ReplyDeleteNo. It was part of the article.
The J/R sighting is gone from the page. I saw it there before but they must have removed it.
ReplyDelete^^This is so totally bizarre now. He has the poorest representation. He has talent, but at this rate, they will hurt his career if they haven't already. Why can't he just tell them to shove it? I remember reading something about Heath taking his career his own way and paying no attention to advice he didn't agree with, I wish I could find it.
ReplyDeleteThey had to remove it. How would it look to have that sighting when people are wondering why he hasn't made a statement regarding Heath. Having dinner with his GF doesn't look good, looking sad with Reese and the kids is a lot better.
ReplyDeleteDon't know when the sighting was supposed to take place but if it was last week when he was supposed to be in NM, then it really looks bad because I still say he was in LA all last week.
PS: Too bad they can't do anything about google, it's still comes up.
Interesting list, Special. I personally rate James McAvoy (have loved him since Shameless, and no one understood my attraction at the time!), Ryan Gosling, Paul Dano, Seth Rogan, Jake Gyllenhaal and, though he's inexplicably not mentioned, Ryan Philippe (he was great in Breach). And as the author of the article points out, Heath would have definitely topped the list alongside Gosling and McAvoy.
ReplyDeleteOh, and as people point out below in that article, definitely Joseph Gordon-Levitt! A very gifted actor. I also think Austin Nichols could hold his own with many of these.
ReplyDeleteYou've got to wonder why his representation doesn't have the common sense, sensitivity and good taste to have not put that sighting in in the first place.
ReplyDeleteI had come here for Jake and Austin but this is really sickening and the worst side of humanity. I certainly wouldn't want to know or have anything to do with some of you if this is how you treat people that you don't even know.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing that we formerly of WFT and now of OMG are always included with the likes of killers, embezzling corporate thieves, self-serving politicians and oppressive dictatorial regimes? That's what I call the worst side of humanity, and we always get included with that!
Well, IDMb, there's no time like the present to start having nothing to do with us, we welcome that. Why are you still coming here? A mystery for the ages . . . *sigh*
You know a reason why they pulled it?
ReplyDeleteReese didn't want to look like she was a loser who wasn't going to a SAG party
^^Oh man, I really can't stomach Reeke much longer. I barely could make my way through that Marie Claire article when I got to the part where she said her father told her that someone has to be the one "in control" in a relationship when I could go no further. Blecch!
ReplyDeleteOk I needed this laugh.
ReplyDeleteThis is from quotes at the SAG awards.
"Actually, Giuliana, I am Ryan Seacrest. I've finally gone through the change."
– E! host Debbie Matenopoulos, to Giuliana Rancic, when she was introduced on-air. E!'s regular red carpet host Ryan Seacrest was out sick for the night.
Oh you so know Ted's sending something to Debbie's desk at E! today.
What do you mean Reeke's Pr had to pull that People.com sighting of Reeke at Chabuya from over the weekend/last week? I'm must be more pessimistic than you. I think People made a mistake and accidentally put it in when it was supposed to be in next week's listing. Someone goofed up on a hungover Monday morning and didn't look at the Reeke & LA Restaurant Publicity Co-Op sightings schedule right.
ReplyDelete12:05, you're probably right. Sigh. Why doesn't it come out (and it should so people should start expecting that there will be NO statement of Jake) that Jake/Heath hadn't been close since BBM promotion ended. Their lives had taken different turns. Heath got heavily into drugs and Jake isn't into that. Jake has barelyl seen Matilda since she was a baby. I'm not knocking Jake but all claims of great friendship between those two have been vastly exaggerated. This doesn't mean that Jake didn't care--I'm sure he was very shocked--he and Heath were around the same age--but they were not the best of friends as depicted by the media.
ReplyDeleteOne might expect Jake to have a "life is too short not to live the life you want" reaction to his buddies death. But perhaps he is living the life he wants after all.
ReplyDeleteA romantic dinner last week/over the weekend looks real bad since he is supposed to be so upset about Heath that he couldn't comment.
ReplyDeleteI agree that he wasn't on the Brothers set at all last week, I now beleive that bloggers sighting. I also question if he went to his memorial service on Saturday.
As has been said over and over - just because they may or may not have drifted apart, or didn't agree with the other's lifestyle, is no reason not to say a few kind words over the loss of someone, if for no other reason that they worked together. No matter how you try to spin it, it's just bad form.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Jake is waiting for the cause of death to decide what statement to make if any.
ReplyDeleteWould it be too much to ask that people address others by their username and not the time they posted? Realist, who's 12:05? They didn't sign their name as 12:05, so don't call them 12:05. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see I'm not crazy for not being able to find that sighting. I thought it did not read credible, and People is, of course, a PR shill. In the recent pics, both Jake and Reese look anything but relaxed. It is ridiculous to put out sightings of them "smiling and skipping" and "relaxed" right now. I think both are understandably upset. The best part of that sighting, though, was this-
ReplyDeleteThroughout the meal, they were seen touching and he kept his arm around her.
I think they both need to fire their PR!
Maybe Chabuya can get their ad money back or ask to upgrade to a hotter couple "sighted" at their restaurant.
ReplyDeleteWicked, I just find it hard to come to any conclusions about what they are feeling if their entire relationship is a faslehood! Who knows what is really going on? Were they upset, were they out having a good time during this time, were the park pics just a big show, were they even together at all? He looks like he's hanging his head in shame and embarassment, not grief. :(
ReplyDelete^^sorry, that was me above
ReplyDeleteAzure, seeing your name brings a smile to my face. I had a cat named Azure T. Kat. She was 20 lbs. of ornery and my male rabbit was madly in love with her. He tried to have sex with her when he hit adolescence, resulting in her biting through his ear and him losing a third of it! He still loved her, though.
ReplyDeleteAwwwww, that's so sweet! ;) Yes, bunny rabbits are very amorous, and loyal! Gotta love 'em. ;)
ReplyDeleteI still don't get how Jake is more concerned about safely walking Reeses damn dog and not even caring enough to leash Atticus in the LA Park parking lot/trails. No mattrer how well-trained, an animal is an animal. Fuck Jake if he doesn't think enough to take care of his own because anything Reese has is more important.
ReplyDeleteUm, La leash law you should look at the other pictures at x17online. He has a leash on Atticus in one of them. My guess would be that Atti was leashed in the part and they took it off him to get in the car.
ReplyDeleteA New Kids reunion wouldn't include Marky Mark would it? Because he has certainly gone on to better things... (if it gets any better than being part of a boy band, lol.) Maybe he would join them to help his bro's out.
ReplyDeleteLOL Special and Teak, I think you're both right about why they pulled that sighting.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks Special for another on the ever hot and hunky Austin (I can't believe you said hunky either Wicked :-). I also agree with what you said; it would be easy enough for him to hang out in clubs with people we know would get him some attention, like (shudder) Lohan and Hilton. I think Austin is probably ambitious, but so far he seems content to get there based on his work.
Come on wicked, you don't actually believe they "put" out that smiling at the dogs holding hands sighting? If so they would have contacted Us or People, not some obscure blog that no one outside of Jake's dwindling online fanbase/sites/blogs bother to mention. It's not like Perez posted it.
ReplyDeleteThe outing with the family was already planned and it had nothing to do with that sighting IMO, because if it was bogus then they would have ignored it. IMO Pr wasn't aware of it.
What I do beleive is that Jake was NOT in NM last week at all. Did you notice the TMZ claim? They never said his reps or the usual "sources" if I remember, they just assumed he was there probably because they got no response from his people.
Ok, ET/Access just repeated the TMZ story. The resturaunt sighting may or may not be true but it should have never been posted considering the chatter that is growing regarding Jake's silence so they pulled it.
I also believe that it's Jake's choice not to comment at this time not his PR, for whatever his reasons.
As far as him attending his memorial, well we all assume he did but I wouldn't be surprised to hear that he didn't. Having him stuffing his facewith Reese at some overpriced HW resturaunt looked real bad.
'look again" you look again. the red leash you see is attached to Reeses dog, not Atticus. However there is another 2nd leash held by Reese, the invisible one with the ever tightening double noose, one wrapped around Jake's balls and the other around his neck.
ReplyDeleteCome on wicked, you don't actually believe they "put" out that smiling at the dogs holding hands sighting?
ReplyDeleteI never said that. I think that blogger made it up. I do think the recent Jeese and kids sighting was to counter it, because it got out and some people believed it, even though it was false.
What's so disappointing is that the most "convincing" pic is being posted around, to convince the public that they have some kind of semblance of grief at this sad time, when you know it was just one of a series of pictures taken in the park, and they picked the best one out of the lot. There's nothing that's real there. It actually makes it look worse and more phoney to me, but there's no way to tell what is really happening. Just another photo op with no meaning.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Manglement 180 got 1 thing right by suggesting to Jake to release a statement about Heath but since he'd been burned by them 9 times out of 10 he figured he'd better do the opposite of what they advise. Reese/Reeke has tweaked his integrity and screwed with his common sense so much that he can't even see the right thing to do when its staring him in the face.
ReplyDeleteAs far as him attending his memorial, well we all assume he did but I wouldn't be surprised to hear that he didn't. Having him stuffing his facewith Reese at some overpriced HW resturaunt looked real bad."
ReplyDeleteMaybe they were thinking of Heath while they were samping the sushi. And you know, thinking of someone--even if it's for one minute is better than not thinking about it at all.
Groan.
Ah, but how QUICK Jake's people were in issuing a public denial to that dumb D-listed tidbit that Jake and Austin were coming out and declaring their love for one another! Oh yes, refuting silly, unfounded, online allegations are SO much more important than paying final respect to an actor with whom you will be forever linked in a groundbreaking movie (and an actor whose transcendant performance lifted his from the usual ho-hum levels).
ReplyDeletela leash law, no you need to look again. Reese is hold the leash for her dog in her bent arm. Jake has the other leash for Atticus. You can see the difference if you look.
ReplyDeleteSorry but I am find you all slimier and slimier. Now you are claiming Jake wasn't in NM at all? How would TMZ find out the set added extra security if it wasn't an official source of some sort? It is one thing to question PR or what is going on. It is another to make up paranoid scenarios that have no basis in reality. You talk about Jake having no integrity but it is you that needs to look at how insane you sound.
I don't think that blogger made it up, for what reason? To make Jake look bad because that's what it did, make him look bad.
ReplyDeleteThe blogger noted that she didn't know why they are reporting that he was in NM when he wasn't.
Brothers is a closed set like all movies and the fact that it's being filmed in NM makes any filming info hard to come by, I think a read a few things on some blogs in Nov. and those pics of Jake and his PA in Dec. and I think one set of pics of Tobey and some extras.
Over on IMDB an extra on the film does post. She described a scene she was in with Tobey and it was filmed the day Heath died. A poster asked if Jake was there. They they hadn't seen him but a set guy said that he was there, but he wasn't in the scenes that they were filming that day.
The poster then speculated that he was inside somewhere mourning.
Just a coincedence that he didn't have to be in any scenes that day or was he not on the set at all??
Scenes were shot on 1/21 according to a poster there (an extra) and it involved Tobey and Natalie, no Jake. I know that it's no big deal for a star to hang around a set even though they are not in any scenes but I don't believe he was there at all. IMO he may have finished up his scenes or is closed to it.
I believe that blog sighting. Why didn't his PR just say he doesn't want to make a statement now?
^^ finding
ReplyDeleteBtw, to say Jake is staging his grief. Wow you guys sink even lower than PR ever could. I used to enjoy this place and find it refreshing from the craziness of what WFT had become. Not anymore.
Go to fanchitchat, Jake thread, news about kirsten crying, Naomi not pleased with Reese.
ReplyDeleteChanneling my Bette Davis:
ReplyDelete"Fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night!"
You buckled in?
Tinhat reminded me of something when they mentioned Marky Mark.
When Mark Wahlburg started out as Marky Mark he started out in the clubs, and did cater to many gay clubs to get his start. His look, his act a lot of that was also influence by the gay club culture. He had a large gay following. When he started acting he really wanted to move away from that image. One of his earlier movies was Fear with Reese. And she dated him.
Ryan Phillipe got his start on All My Children as a gay teenager. He also had a gay fan base. He moved on to movies and one of his earlier ones was Cruel Intentions with Reese. And they dated and she married him.
Then Jake. Well don't have to get into that. We all know that story.
And they are "dating".
Patterns are alway interesting things.
Just because TMZ said the set has extra security doesn't mean that it's true. How would they know? Did they actually talk to anyone on set? I doubt it.
ReplyDeleteThe more time goes on and the more these little sightings pop, IMO he wasn't on set last week. I can understand him maybe wanting people to think that so they would leave him alone but maybe he should have stayed indoors that week.
I think Jake was in NM on the Brothers set for most of last week. I think TMZ is credible and I find the report from the NM newspaper, that TMZ contacted them and tried to get photographers to take pics of Jake, credible. I think the blogger made the sighting up to draw traffic to her blog.
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't his PR just say he doesn't want to make a statement now?
ReplyDeleteThat's all it would have taken. How could his PR be so bad?
LookAgain, nobody is saying he's staging his grief. We don't know if there was much of any grief to stage.
Sorry, I was "Take with pinch of salt" at 2:22. Had to type fast before leaving the computer. On second thought I wonder if this post was appropriate.
ReplyDeleteOMG.
ReplyDelete'look again" you say "Reese is hold the leash for her dog in her bent arm. Jake has the other leash for Atticus."
Jake is holding the red leash that has Reeses dog (the short French bulldog; Atticus is a German Shepherd) at the end of it. I have no idea what you think Reese is holding under her arm, but its blue with a paisley print on one side and it's lumpy and soft. Ya know, like a jacket folded up? No fuckin way it's a leash.
I understand your confusion if you are looking at the X17 online pictures with all of the logo writing and not able to get a close-up view of them but I am looking at clear photographs without any logo watermarks and magnified at 500x. Trust me, that blue thing under Reese's arm is NO leash. Case closed.
Wicked, I think TMZ made that request because they suspected that he wasn't there.The idea that he was on set and not filming any scenes sounds like BS to me.
ReplyDeleteHow much traffic did that chick's blog get from that? And why last week? She could have made it up the week beofre for instance.
That NM newspaper also stated that he was back on set on Monday, 1/21 but as I pointed out in my previous post, the extra on IMDB made no mention of Jake on that day.
I still say he wasn't there and that blogger was correct.
I still say he wasn't there and that blogger was correct.
ReplyDeleteI disagree.
To ???: Just because you are on set doesn't mean you are filming. There's A LOT of 'hurry up and wait' and sitting around and passing the time until the lighting and setups are right. Unless you've been involved in that line of work (like I have) it's hard to understand that it just isn't like working in an office.

“Hearing that (Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon) are close to getting engaged is like a knife to her heart,” said a close friend of Jake’s ex, Kirsten Dunst. According to Star, Kirsten’s been caught crying in public twice recently, and Jake and Reese are the reason!
“Seeing photos of him out with her kids is just too much to handle,” Kirsten’s pal told the magazine. “She always thought she and Jake would reunite, but now those dreams have faded.”
But Kirsten may still get her chance. Someone very influential in Jake’s life isn’t so happy with his pairing, the Star also reports — his mom, screenwriter and producer Naomi Foner.
“Naomi is concerned Jake’s taking on more than he can handle dating Reese, even playing the role of daddy to 8-year-old Ava and 4-year-old Deacon when he’s with them,” an insider told the magazine.
According to the source, Naomi hoped that “Jake would find a younger girl to date, without so much baggage.” No word if Mom approved of Kirsten.
"Patterns are alway interesting things."
ReplyDeleteYou mean Reese Witherspoon is the cure to gayness??? They could sell her sweat in little bottles!
Just kidding :P
Boston is booming with movies at moment --next up McBongo and Jen Garner are filming her next month.
ReplyDeleteBut everyone is waiting form Scorsese to return and film here, after the success of The Departed.
In today's Boston Herald there is a mention.
And now for your daily dose of Massachusetts movie news, Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese will bring his new flick, “Ashecliffe,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Michelle Williams, the late Heath Ledger’s ex, to Taunton this spring.
The Silver City’s 175-year-old Whittenton Mills complex will get the Hollywood treatment for four days, starring as a World War II German concentration camp, according to local officials.
“Ashecliffe,” BTW, is an adaptation of Dennis Lehane’s “Shutter Island,” which didn’t feature a gruesome story arc about a death camp. That’s screenwriter Laeta Kalogridis’ addition to the script.
At the mill, Scorsese’s set builders will construct a faux railroad track under the archway. And, as we’ve told you before, Scorsese will also film at a hospital in Medfield and in Boston starting in March.
Maybe work will be good for Michelle and being away from NY but not too far from it at the same time. Here's hoping she and Matilda enjoy a spring in Boston and make some good memories to remember 2008.
Oh wait... someone as perfect as Reese probably doesn't sweat. My dreams of becoming a millionaire are ruined.
ReplyDeleteThank you Reese, you non sweating ho!
The Reese 2008: Super Star Straightener
ReplyDeleteSo Reese is the alternative Scientology cure for gayness? Maybe she'll market her own Avon gay-defying cream designed to banish gay spots and prevent premature homo-inklings. Dingdong, straightness calling!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to seeing Scorsese's adaptation of the book, Shutter Island. If you haven't read it, it is a great book. I'm a bit worried about that death camp story arc that wasn't in the book. Can't really figure out how that will fit in.
ReplyDeleteAnd the product would be accompanied by a "Case Study" DVD with short clips of Jake and such telling how wonderful their lives are now that they have been cured.
ReplyDelete"I used to have a promising career and a really hot, adorable guy in my life. I was totally cute and everybody loved me. Now my life has changed, I make passable movies, I look like a lumberjack, the adorable guy is gone and I have two little kids around me all the time who keep calling me "Uncle Jake" for no reason. Thanks Reese!"
Oh how exciting! Practically in my own backyard! I think I read that too. ;)
ReplyDeleteVery interesting about the pattern Special.
ReplyDeleteI still think Jake was in NM. We all know you can spend all day on a set and not be needed for filming; after all Jake and Austin spent all day in a trailer, and the only time Austin came out was for food. However TMZ may'be tried to double-check the story after that blogger story. I guess I'm just cynical, but my own suspicion is that it was a pr plant that was planned before Heath died, and somebody forgot to tell the poor woman not to run it. And no, I have no proof of that, but it's as good an explanation as any.
Poor Kirsten, she's so heartbroken over this that all she could do was laugh when x17 (I believe) asked her awhile back about Jake and Reese.
I can't help myself
ReplyDeleteReese The Straightmaker
Now all I see the Mentos spoof and David Grohl as Jake and Taylor Hawkins as Reese.
"And I used to have an amaaazzzing penis but it doesn't work anymore except to pee and my prostate shrunk and my testicles all but dried up but really, I am so happy! I'm way beyond needing all that messy sex stuff anymore, those nasty things just caused me grief anyway!"
ReplyDeletela leash law, Jake has always seemed like a very responsible pet owner. So while you are telling Jake to fuck off why don't you take your high and mighty attitude elsewhere.
ReplyDeleteDestiny I saw that Kristen video at x17 and she wasn't laughing.
Stepford Boyfriends, anyone?
ReplyDeleteDestiny, that is exactly what I thought - it was a PR plant that went disastrously, and ill-timedly wrong.
ReplyDelete'who cares' aka 'look again': nice to know you admit your mistake re the X17 pics. And btw abiding by leash laws for the protection and safety of animals and humans alike is not being high and mighty. Its being responsible. And Jake may have been mindful in the past but he isn't with Reeke. That was my point.
ReplyDeleteLOL at the gay cure. I hope it smells of Pretty Peach?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the ever sweet and hunky Austin post, I really want to know what he's got planned next.
NETB, I am sort of falling for
DD-L again too :):)
And btw abiding by leash laws for the protection and safety of animals and humans alike is not being high and mighty. Its being responsible.
ReplyDeleteJake has usually had Atticus on a leash in the past. From these pics, I can't tell who's on a leash and who isn't. I'm not too good at picture analysis. I'm not familiar with the park they went to. Could it have been a dog park where dogs were allowed to be unleashed? DC has a leash law too but does have an area where dogs are allowed to run free, provided they have all their shots and are well socialized with other dogs. You have to buy a membership to bring your dog.
LA Leash Law, I do have to agree with you about the importance of having dogs on leashes. Tink was attacked by an unleashed pit bull on the street in our neighborhood and one of the tendons in her leg was severed. Thankfully, Tink WAS on a leash and I was able to pull her away before any more damage was done.
^^Sorry guys, my previous post was about Shutter Island and the filming in MA!
ReplyDeleteLondon, I was in love with DDL years ago, and am falling again too! Something about that hair, the earring and the twinkly eyes. ;)
Special, LOL with the jokes today - we need them I think!
Jake has usually had Atticus on a leash in the past. From these pics, I can't tell who's on a leash and who isn't.
ReplyDeleteThat's for dang sure . . . ;)
The pics of Jake getting coffee are posted on Just Jared and credited to- Photos: KO/BB/Flynetonline.com. Just Jared also says they're from Sunday, although he's wearing the same clothes as Saturday-
ReplyDeleteJake Gyllenhaalstops to grab a cup of coffee in Brentwood, Calif. on Sunday morning.
Earlier this weekend, Jake, 27, was spotted hiking at a Los Angeles park with girlfriend Reese Witherspoon and her two kids, Ava, 8, and Deacon, 4. It was the first sighting of the star since his Brokeback costar Heath Ledger’s passing.
It was reported last week that Jake was in New Mexico shooting his new film, Brothers. Presumably, he flew back home recently to attend the private memorial service for Heath, which was attended by his close family and friends.
Jake is the godfather of Heath and Michelle Williams 2-year-old daughter Matilda.
Just wanted to warn you guys that Blogger will be going down at 4 pm PST for about 10 minutes for maintenance.
ReplyDeleteDidn't take long for the LA Park pics to show up at IHJ (and btw its easy to see that Atticus is NOT leashed in any of them and that blue thing under Reese's arm isn't one). These aren't cellphone pics, not even pics taken with a camera by regular person. The vantage point is way too high for a "regular" since most peeps would take the snaps at their own street level, ya know? These pics are high up, like on top of a SUV and are in high quality size. Looks like they were coming back to the car (probably from walking around the parking lot!). I've never seen Ava look so happy - it musta been cause the photo op was ended.
ReplyDeleteAnd Jake wearing the same clothes on Sunday..well he looked a tad bit happeir being alone in those pics I gotta say.
Wicked, sorry to hear about Tink. I hope she healed okay. You were extrememly lucky that you could pull her away without getting hurt yourself or both of you killed by the attacking dog.
ReplyDeleteEven in areas here with dog parks (and dog beaches) the animal MUST be leashed while in the parking lot or the surrounding areas. They can ONLY be off the leash in the designated dog park (Bark Parks) area. Some of the Bark Parks even have separate areas for the small and large dogs to keep the intimidation factor to a minimum.
I know that noticing Atticus unleashed in the pictures may seem insignificant but sometimes its the tiny things that are so telling. For me seeing how he seems to be more caring about Reese's dog's safety says a lot about Jake right now. And I don't like it.
I forgot to add that the Bark Parks and Dog Beaches here are public, owned by the State or the City/County and are subject to government animal control laws. I hope next time Jake will get ticketed and fined, might teach him a lesson, PR-wise (nothing like the publicity that you weren't taking care of your dog) as well as personal.
ReplyDeleteCan somebody save the BBM Oprah interview appearing at the following address on his/her hard disk? Apparently it's supposed to be pulled off soon.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlLXp18SHdY
Hmmm wonder why the pics on IHJ don't show them like getting into the car. Could it be that they got in separate cars? Ya know, met at the Park for the photo op? And if they did, they sure didn't hug goodbye because you KNOW PR would be showing that pic too. So its funny how the pics just STOP at Reese opening up the back of the car...
ReplyDeleteWicked, sorry to hear about Tink. I hope she healed okay.
ReplyDeleteShe was over it the next day and used her Elizabethan collar to dig holes and carry toys. We were way more upset than she was. This is why Atti loves her so much! She is one tough bitch!
Different blogs and forums from everywhere all have comments about Daniel Day Lewis, about his kind words about Heath and his dedication of his SAG award to Heath. Everywhere I've read, almost everyone posted has said how they are now new fans of DDL because his behavior re Heath's death has been so classy. Its nice to know actors like him still exist in Hollywood.
ReplyDeleteFrenchy, I saved it. Where is part 2?
ReplyDeleteI think the coffee pics and the park pics were taken on the same day. Jake stopped for coffee on the way over to Reese's and at that point the papping was not planned. I am sure PR was not happy about it. It shows that Jake is not spending nights with his new family. At least not when the kids are home and I doubt when they are not.
ReplyDeleteAbout Jake and Reese during these little journeys of theirs it is right we never see them getting or out of their cars. Of course they come in seperate cars. They are probably told where to meet or something. Now of course having said this we will probably see them getting into or out of the same car in the next couple of days.
From Ted:
ReplyDeleteDear Ted:
I just added egomaniacal Eddie Murphy to the list of people whose movies and shows I will not watch. He joins Rosie O'Donnell, Russell Crowe, Oprah and Tom Cruise. But here's why I am writing—Eddie Murphy is Toothy Tile, right? God knows he's Toothy.

Dear Blacklisting Betty:
Eddie, Rosie, Russell and Tom aren’t too surprising celebs to leave a bad taste in people’s mouths. But what in heaven’s name do you have against Mama O? I’d think at least the cast of The Hills would wind up on a blacklist before Oprah. In any case, Eddie deserves a smart punch in his smilies, but he ain’t no Toothy.
And now for the interesting part.
Reese's name was under featured celebritries list for the the column. But when you run throught end entire thing with the find option in your browser you can't find her mention.
Oversight? or Is it there for a reason?
Here is another theory regarding the pictures and the same clothes.
ReplyDeleteYou know Reese is not the only person Jake knows in Brentwood.
Now think about it, the paps were looking for him, so they would be near his place and they would be near the gate at Reese's place. So where would you go to stay and allude the photogs who are waiting?
Maybe you just camp out on the couch of a very close friend. ; )
And when Ted answers a letter about Wilmer whatshisname living a gossip filled life until recently Ted addresses his answer to That 70s Jake.
ReplyDeleteYeah Tom next time pics will show them getting into the same car! Or hugging (hugging goodbye before they leave separately, but we will be led to believe it was affection before they got into the same car, yeah right) and the pics will be taken in the actual park area (not the parking lot) at eye level with a cell phone and Atticus will be on a leash and Ava will have a Halloween mask on so her constant-frown-with-mother won't show. Wow thats a lot for PR X17 Flynet to remember, they better be takin notes.
ReplyDeleteAustin lives in brentwood?
ReplyDeleteReese originally moved to Brentwood because she thought it was Bentwood and she thought she could fix everyone and straighten them out.
ReplyDeleteIs she an X Men mutant or sth? She stares at you and BAM you are degayified???
ReplyDeleteAccording to Access Hollywood, Michelle and Matilda were at the LA memorial service along with Heath's family. Also, they had a shot of Naomi Watts sitting with Heath's uncle in a car and getting out for the service. She looked upset in that shot. And there's another shot of her walking her baby in a stroller and she looked VERY distraught. It's actually very painful seeing her face in that shot. Here she is walking her baby and her face is contorted by grief.
ReplyDeleteFrenchy, I saved it. Where is part 2?
ReplyDeleteI have absolutely no idea. I picked up this info on another site and I thought it was the complete interview! :( :(
Frenchy, it's part 1 of their interview with Oprah. Just Jake and Heath. The second part is where Anne and Michelle came in. It ends with a cut to a commercial and Oprah saying Anne and Michelle will be joining. Maybe we can find part 2.
ReplyDeleteYou can download the whole Oprah interview from the Media section at IHJ:)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for reminding us what a treasure chest IHJ can be Fyi! I guess I got carried away a bit (too much) when I read that it would disappear from Youtube. So sorry for all the trouble Wicked! :(

ReplyDeleteYep he's still over there on Oak Street. Which is just up the street from the hotel in SM he did that interview in. Remember that? He was on the balcony and told the interviewer he only lived up the street or something?

ReplyDeleteHere is some proof that Reese knows what is on the internet and fiercely tries to control it.
This fashion blogger is a friend and employee of Reese's the article is about something else but this story is about midway through:
A few years ago I gave Jay a bit of advice that was shared with me during a similar walk and chat fest with friend and client, Reese Witherspoon. Reese and I were exiting her hotel after having a quiet lunch and this middle-aged woman came running up to her waving a camera phone and pleading with Reese for a photo. Reese turned and said, in the most elegant Southern voice that I have ever heard, “Ma’am, I would love to take a photo with you but I don’t take photos with camera phones. Those things simply don’t do anyone justice.” Luckily the woman’s poor daughter that had obviously been chasing her slightly out of control mother was equipped with a proper camera. I therefore obliged the woman’s request by taking a pseudo family portrait of the women with Reese buried firmly in the middle of this love fest. As Reese and I walked calmly away from her doting fans, Reese said to me, “Those camera phones always make me look like a lollipop head and eventually end up all over the internet.”
Reese talks a lot about how many casseroles she makes when she is laying the "homespun Southern girl charm" on thick.
ReplyDeleteTed is poking her with a stick. Very funny.
This is so upsetting. I'm hoping it's not true. Poor Heath if it's true. What a mess he was.

ReplyDeleterip heath, sorry but the link you posted takes nowhere....
ReplyDeleteHer godfather, Jake Gyllenhaal, who starred alongside Ledger in the award-winning movie Brokeback Mountain, has vowed to help her keep her father's memory alive.
ReplyDeleteHe said it was "an amazing honour" to be her godfather.
It is believed Gyllenhaal has told friends he has a "duty" to Ledger now to do all he can to help the two-year-old.
Courier Mail
"an amazing honour" is an old quote.
ReplyDelete"It is believed Gyllenhaal ..." so no one really knows whether he said any of this. Pathetic!
yeah jake now has the duty of giving up his career, marrying michele moving to austrailia and raising matilda until she is 30 yrs old. doesnt anyone know thats what godfathers are supposed to do? the press acts like we're back in the biblical era. what a load of crap.

and click on the Heath story My Life is Madness (under the Russell Crowe story) on the left side down. She's a West End lap dancer who says she was picked up by Heath in a bar a few weeks ago and she comes out with her story now. Is it to be believed?

Now can we get a new Austin pic? See him out on the town
chill - I think flf was referring to unverifiable and/or made-up quotes and "sources". flf's point was that no-one knows. So you agree.
ReplyDeleteThe meeja are indeed inclined to go all biblical about subjects like godchildren, marriage, whatever at times like this. It's about a STORY, not fact.

ReplyDeleteLondon TB, so if we all don't know how can we say they are made up?
ReplyDeleteI make no claims one way or the other, but no, I sure don't agree, thanks, I don't write off people based on flf. Sheesh.
I think the basic point is that everyone agrees that Heath was wonderful, talented and a genuine artist who was taken away too soon. There is no way in hell Jake can at this moment say by the way, in contrast I have lied about everything. He had to be seen mourning with Reese.
ReplyDeleteI think it's very telling that after the big PDA fests in Rome and SF all we have seen is grumpy coffee and hiking pictures. PDA and romance is added to the pictures through obscure blog sightings and tabloid fiction.
I believe the weekend blog sighting was planted in advance since Brothers was wrapping up.

Spesh 2:45, I'm there with ya! Go Pats 7-3 right now. Hope to see them here in PHX in two weeks. Unfortunately, Jake won't be able to see the game as he's travelling back to NM from CA as we speak.
I presume E.V. Tb posted info about Jake's after Christmas flight from NYC.
We also have go remember that Rendition is coming out Feb 19th here in the US. And you wonder if things were preplanned, set in place as a run up to the release date. (sighting, and the People sighting that got yanked yesterday)
ReplyDeleteThere is another reason I think the People thing was preplanned thing, because Jake was the celebrity of the day over on the corner, the last time he was around when Rendition was released. I think they had a lot of things to go, and there was no way anyone every could have imagined losing Heath.
I think they have to do some clean up on things that should not have be released in the wake of the tragedy. And I agree more and more with Wicked's theory that they had to do pictures of them looking somber (for Jake I think the sadness and shame is no act) because of the bogus sighting that should have been pulled and wasn't.
The rumors that I will become Tinkerbell Gyllenhaal are FALSE! Think about it, people! If Atticus and I were to marry, and, of course, there's no truth to these rumors WHATSOEVER, he would be taking MY name.
ReplyDeleteTink is grounded until the world comes to an end, so we won't have to worry about any of that, now will we? ;)
ReplyDeleteMSNBC has picked up the Star story of Naomi not liking Reese and Kirsten crying over Jeese
