Brilliant post Special K! Thank you very much for your intelligent perspective.
ReplyDeleteJake has been reduced to being a carefully PR manufactured and marketed image to sell the idea of perfection and use it for effective product placement.
This is a clip from the Commercial Closet award celebrating GLBT images in advertising:
ReplyDeleteCheck out all of the clip but especially around 2:42 - what some of the drawing prizes were for attendees to the awards.

To beard or not to beard, that is the question.
ReplyDeleteShakespeare in Hollywood
I am disappointed in you. I never expected such a truck load of nastiness from people claiming to be tolerant and open minded.
ReplyDeleteI guess the last straw was wickeds cockroach yesterday. What you in your limitless hatred perceive as funny or “wicked” is just plain simple minded hatred, the last spark of decency lost. What has become of you? Bitter losers, wailing furies, the only sure thing to expect here is a daily new low. You are insulting human beings you don´t even know, you claim knowledge where you only have an agenda obviously. You insulted every cause you claimed to stand up for. I guess I thought your standards were above primitive agitation. I was wrong.
Here are a few more Ad campaigns:
ReplyDeleteUPS - What can Reeke do for you?
Allstate - You're in good hands with Reeke.
Verizon - Can you hear me now?(I'm not gay!)
Oscar Myer - My beard has a first name, it's R-E-E-S-E
Energizer - Reeke just keeps going...and going...and going...
Dell - Dude, you're getting a beard!
GE - 360, we bring good beards to life.
Milk Processing Board - Got beard?
You are insulting human beings you don´t even know, you claim knowledge where you only have an agenda obviously."
ReplyDeletePlease. Like those two would care what we would have to say about them.
I am disappointed in you.
ReplyDeleteDoes it mean we won't hear from you again?
Let's hope so.
GG: Do you honestly think that makes it better? This is about you all not them and about the things you claim to fight for. But I guess these things are not really the reason you all are here, right, just confirmed by whoswhatever. Thanks whatever.
ReplyDeletetruth hurts - I actually agree that some, not all, of the comments may go too far. There are many posters on her, myself included, who have never said a word for good or bad about Reese.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that you call yourself "truth hurts" telegraphs your bias, however.
The point is that many think it is far from established that this (Jake and Reese) is a true image of Jake's life. I don't believe that it is merely your sense of decency that is offended.
Engaging Troll -
ReplyDeleteI have a right to my opinion. I never liked Reese. Ever Always thought her to be a smug, limited ranged actress who carries with her a sense on entitlement, intent only on her success and keeping her image pure. And now I think that she has managed, for the purposes of improving a tarnished 'cheated on' image, to take Jake, a fre spirit who loved life and shared his smile with one and all, and turned him into a sour faced, stiff shouldered, pussy whipped putz.
I have a right to voice that opinion where ever and when ever I chose. OMG is my platform of choice. I chose to be here, just as you did, just as you can chose not to.
You have the right to disagree with that, and other opinions, that I may have.
Where you crossed the line is telling me that my opinon is wrong, and telling me that I should not be sharing it.
If hearing others that do not fall in line with your line of thinking to too much for you to bear, then get the fuck out. But, remember this...fantasy is HW business, and it is naive to believe what they produce, on and off the screen, to be the whole truth.
Disengaging Troll
^just to add a final comment for today: I hope you also take other boards to task for comments about celebs (not just Jake and Reese) which are jaw-droppingly insulting at times, and not just this one. Or is it just this one?
ReplyDeleteHi max, if it makes it easier for you, then believe that. I am appalled to see what became of a lot of people here and I am not primarly interested in lifes of people I never met. I do though take an interest in causes people fight for and I do care how the people claiming to do so present themselves. To be bitchy is one thing. To descend into smearing and degrading people is another. And it is not about Reeke. It is about people commenting here.
ReplyDeleteYou do what you want to do here. Take a dive into the negativity and enjoy it, if this is what you want.
PR's new tactic is to try to shame the Jake fans into at least not saying anything negative.
ReplyDeleteIf you really like Jake you will let him "make his own choices". You are not a fan if you post negative thoughts online.
Good strategy. They can't win you over maybe they can scold you into behaving.
Gee, thanks for your permission. I feel so much better now.
ReplyDeleteYou have no desire to delve into the lives of people you don't know, well, a gossip site seems a rather strange place for you to be then doesn't it?
And if you don't know the parties involved personally, how can you know those who post here? How do you know what we do in our daily lives, what causes we support, what we struggle with on a dialy basis?
You don't. Hypocrite.
And now I think that she has managed, for the purposes of improving a tarnished 'cheated on' image, to take Jake, a fre spirit who loved life and shared his smile with one and all, and turned him into a sour faced, stiff shouldered, pussy whipped putz."
ReplyDeleteI agree with you but clearly he isn't very bright. But also remember, he is a spoiled, self-entitled, privileged Mama's boy himself so this is par for the course. We all fell in love with Jack Twist and Jake is about as far from Jack as you can get.
Reese reminds me of one of those head cheerleader types, the kind the parents and teachers adore, the one who always sucks up to them and gives them a phony smile, yet behind the scenes, viciously torments and abuses the geeks, freaks and others who aren't as cool as her. (I find it ironic that the very people who keep defending this stuck up bitch are the same people that she would probably torment in high school--or treat like the gunk on her shoe). Jake is the handsome, popular--and shallow high school football quarterback who of course has to attach himself to the head cheerleader because she's the epitome of cool and so is he and together image of perfection is ever so important.
This is my final comment, I promise: actually, the overwhelming feeling here is one of positivity I would have said thanks to the blog writers.
ReplyDeleteI find it easy to scroll past any comments I don't agree with because I'm not a negative person. Like quite a few posters on here I don't follow gossip generally, and have never followed the lives of any HW actors this closely before. And it's not for a negative reason that I do so now.
I am not PR. Sorry if that bursts your little bubble. I hate what became of a good cause and I am sorry that a lot of you are too simple minded to see what the goals of this blog once were, and the ones that could refocus do not seem to be interested to do so.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I do call them out on DL and other blogs, if I don´t like what I read.
"Jake is the handsome, popular--and shallow high school football quarterback who of course has to attach himself to the head cheerleader because she's the epitome of cool and so is he and together image of perfection is ever so important.
ReplyDeleteI think Jake is more the geek who can't believe his luck that the popular girl chose him.
The goals of this blog were to celebrate the love of Jake and Austin, two gay actors.
ReplyDeleteJake has chosen to go the way of the lie, the easy way out, choosing fame over integrity. WE are understandably a trifle pissed at his actions and say so.
The goal of this blog is to celebrate others of the GLBT community at large, by showcasing their accomplishments and including within out circle all who wish to do the same.
The goal of this blog is give a place for those who feel disenfranchised by other sites who want only to tow the party line, squeeing at the PR copy, and refusing to question what the subtext of what HW hands us.
So far, OMG has fulfilled those goals remarkably well. The fact that our circle is growing daily just proves it.
You're here, aren't you?
I am not PR. Sorry if that bursts your little bubble.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't burst my bubble but it makes you the biggest troll whoever trolled.
Avoid zealots, they are generally humorless.
ReplyDeleteHow can we not poke fun at a farcical relationship?
ReplyDeleteI think the most biggest point of this post is at the end.
The ad from Ikea.
Watch it again.
Hollywood is not keeping up with attitudes and sentiments of their audience or respecting them. But some companies are doing just that.
Interesting that the comments button is removed from the flynet pictures. You can still comment but you need to look around to do it.
ReplyDeletePR/Trolly is busy moding comments on USMagazine.com now.
I've been watching Speshie's writing for a long time now, from back in the glory days of WFT and wondering when that scorned fury would raise its head over here. You've been keeping that manic side so well hidden for so long, Spesh, it must feel good to unleash it! :-)
ReplyDeleteVery clever post. I needed a spot of humor to get me through these dark days. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteInteresting how some commenters want to vent their opinions as though the gospel on high but can't stand to allow the same from others. I don't always agree with what is said, but everyone is entitled to their opinion. The internet is an open forum for all. Noone is forcing anyone to log on to a site.
Well, I plan to voice my opinion where it will do the most good - with my wallet.
ReplyDeleteNo more free ride, Mr Gyllenhaal.
US Weekly has the new pics
ReplyDeleteUS Weekly is saying that the family outing was on Sat. Could it be that the photo shoot troop just moved location? Did a round early with just with Jeese, then did the whole Family Fun Time at the Park, and then Jeese was called back for another round of Jeese Koffee Klatshing?
ReplyDeleteThat would explain the plaid (and so not Jake's style)shirt coat, and the two different cups of coffee.
People, I somewhat agree with (truth hurts). I've been around OMG and WFT since beginning. Let's just remember why this blog was created. Some got tired of the nastiness of A LOT of the commenters on WFT. Remember? If you don't like whats happening with J/R, talk about something or someone else. Let's not stoop to ugliness here.
ReplyDeleteUS Weekly says the pics are from 12/30, that would be Sunday, Saturday was 12/29.
ReplyDeleteOn Saturday it appeared that at one point he took off the plaid shirt because he had a black sweater type shirt on, the jeans and boots, etc are the same and you can see the black shirt peeking through the plaid shirt. I think he wears the plaid shirt as a jacket type thingy. The 2 different coffee cups IMO are probably because they were wandering around from morning (breakfast) to shopping later on.
Flynet is pretty johnny on the spot and quick in posting their pics, so it may be that Us made an error and meant 12/31, Flynet posted them on 1/1 and said they took them yesterday, 12/31 and Flynet is their source.
The photo-shoot was all on Sat but they were sighted on NY eve being all romantic.
ReplyDeleteKinda sad to see praise for Wicked and Special yesterday and then this today. Guys you always do a great job remember that.
ReplyDeleteHey I was wrong about the dates. I admit my mistakes.
ReplyDeleteNaw, two seperate days, Saturday and Sunday or perhaps Monday, it wouldn't be the 1st time Us weekly or any other rag for that matter got it wrong. Again the source was Flynet and it clearly says on their site it was taken on 12/31 a Sunday, they posted it on 1/1, most likely a type-o from some bored intern.
ReplyDeleteBesides the pictures with the kids were apparently of interest to them and not the others taken on Saturday since they didn't bother to post them.
So why were the pictures on Saturday so devoid of romance and then the sighting on NY with no photos emphasizing how real they are?
ReplyDeleteA little sun to break through the clouds:

'for the purposes of improving a tarnished 'cheated on' image, to take Jake, a fre spirit who loved life and shared his smile with one and all, and turned him into a sour faced, stiff shouldered, pussy whipped putz."
ReplyDelete'clearly he isn't very bright. But also remember, he is a spoiled, self-entitled, privileged Mama's boy himself so this is par for the course.'
OMG you are on target. Don't forget the "Twerp" Reese has made him into too.
As for the trolls, you have one of the blog owners (FlourescentLamp) of Gyllenbabble here making comments under assumed names. she's aka Felicia of DCF. She's a self-appointed guard of Jake's image & reputation because she met him once. *rolls eyes* so consider the troll source.
I think there's someone at DC who does knows Jake (but doesn't advertise it) because theyve said things about Jake before Jake makes them known and posted pics never seen before. This person also seems to know where he is all the time and all his habits (& that he reads DC!). And they make fun of him, in a funny good way. So if Jake reads OMG hes prolly laughing his arse off at Special K's great LMAO ads.
Why are you confused? Most of the blog sightings of them being intimate are usually not backed up by pics with the exception of Napa Valley, and when he was in SF for the weekend with her and the kids (The picture of them walking on the pier doesn't count)so the NY Eve sighting is as per usual. The concert wasn't anything major, if it wasn't for the google alert, no one would have even known that that concert took place. I don't recall seeing pics of the concert on any sites yet.
ReplyDeleteDo I know you, Stellar? If so, please send an e-mail.
ReplyDeleteI still can’t say I’m positive about the status of the Jaustin relationship but I feel pretty sure that Reeke is not real. Jake hasn’t looked truly happy in the longest time – when you’re madly in love (like J&R are supposed to be) you can’t hide your joy. Even when you’re trying to look serious a smile is usually hard to suppress. I personally have no interest in Reeke at all. My interest in Jake stems from his remarkable portrayal of Jack Twist and my belief that he was in a relationship with Austin and struggling to find a way of balancing that while being successful in a very closeted industry. I haven’t lost faith that Jaustin will surface again. I’m just not sure that it will be anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteBTW, thanks for the commercial closet link – was that Jake on the cover of Entertainment Weekly for TDAT? :) It’s nice to see that some industries are interested in reflecting reality in their marketing campaigns.
Also thanks to the person who pointed us to the new(?) photo of Austin on Spooky2th’s journal. Very nice.
Wicked, The reason I know about FLamp being a troll here(only suspected before) is because a few days ago she made a post here (must've forgotton to use a nick/name) and removed it, leaving that "post removed by author' behind with her FL google name (that doesnt get removed). dead giveaway. Look back a few days, you'll find it if you dont believe me.
ReplyDeleteWonder when the Austin picture is from? No chain visible. Or blonde hair.
ReplyDeletehappy smiley Jake will re-emerge when he and Reese break up in a few months.

ReplyDeleteYes it Jake on the cover BV.
ReplyDeleteOne of the giveaway prizes for those attending the Closeted Commercial awards was an autographed cover of EW by Jake and it was the cover from the TDAT press blitz.
While everyone thinks that HW would be the agent of change it is the advertisers who have the most power. GLTB positive images and messages in advertising will help change attitudes and outlooks.
Forgot to say this DC person took a vacation last amy or June, and when they were gone so was Jake. No sitings, no pics, nothing. And the day they came back and posted to DC was the same day Jake reappearred in the airport to NY pics (the nxt afternoon, but the timing was right), looking all tired&sexed out, most people thought. so maybe this person is Austin or, someone else? I doubt if its Reese.
ReplyDelete^^ That should be
ReplyDeleteYes it is Jake on the cover BV.
When Jake did PDA in Rome he actually looked distressed. Stroking his beard and covering his mouth are all ways of self-comforting or "tells" for lying. As is hunching.
ReplyDeleteWhile everyone thinks that HW would be the agent of change it is the advertisers who have the most power.
ReplyDeleteAs a friend of mine used to say back in the day, "We'll know we've made it when lesbians are in Bennetton ads."
Brilliant post Special. And much needed these days.
ReplyDeleteTwo more wishes for 2008:
Wish no. 1: That Reeke stop using the kids in ways that are distressing to them.
In the Abbie/Ava pics, which have obviously been ordered by PR too, Ava is relaxed and apparently undisturbed by the photographer or at least by the reaction of her adult companion to that pap.
In the latest Reeke pics, either the kids are displeased by a sudden, unplanned and unwanted outing, or they are distressed by the paps - whom I'm convinced have been called by Reeke publicists - or are simply reacting to their mom's and Jake's attitude who pretend to be upset by this "stalkering".
If Reese is the good mother people say she is, she obviously thinks there won't be lasting damage to the kids. My hope is that we read somewhere, and very soon, that Reeke are once again on the DL to protect the kids.
Wish no. 2: That the regulars stop engaging trolls once and for all. Sorry, I don't believe in the good intentions of those who say they can't refrain to respond to them. Absolutely none. But I've already made my feelings pretty clear on that subject so I'll stop here.
I've watched Candy. Very dark but brilliant. Heath & Abbie Cornish give fabulous performances. And only six days to wait before the release of the Zodiac director's cut. It makes me feel like the holiday period is still going on. :)
Hi guys, computer problems today so I couldn't check in - funny post, Spesh!
ReplyDeleteI will say that if a PR firm is going to put these kinds of things out for public consumption for any actor, they must realize, and accept, that there will be opinions, both positive and negative, and unfortunately, some that go over the top too. In short, we can be offered something, but we don't have to buy it.
I also watched an interesting program on one of the morning shows today about kids are accompanying their presidential candidate parents on the campaign trail to cute oooohs and aaaahs all across the country. Don't think for a minute that an actor couldn't or wouldn't do the same. Anything can happen, and probably does.
LOL Special and Cubicle. I really needed a good laugh right now. And the choice of Bowie is great now only because of the song, but because Bowie is someone who had the courage to admit to his bisexuality. Several years back in an interview he said that doing so at the time had hurt his career in the U.S. but not the U.K. Maybe he sold a few less records, but in the long run he has had a very successful career.
ReplyDeletenow=not
ReplyDeleteDestiny --
ReplyDeleteYou win the prize for the pick up on Bowie. When he came out as Bi was in the 70's it was not that long after Stonewall here in the States, talk about stepping out. And at the height of Ziggy Stardust and Bowie's gender bender ways. Pretty heady even for the 70's. But look, that was just a slice of Bowie's life and career, it didn't stop then, he didn't drop off the face of the earth, he didn't stop selling albums, he didn't stop being a superstar. Before people say that he "straightened" up to gain his success. Bowie follows his own beats. He lives his life how he feels he needs to live it at the moment he is in.
IHJ has posted a few more Jeese and kids pics from their hike.
ReplyDeleteAn online gossip site Celebridiot "Because Celebs Are Idiots Too!" had the LA Park pics and this is what they had to say:
ReplyDelete"The couple was spotted with Reese’s children taking a stroll and looking like one big happy family - aside from the lack of any visible smiles."
Seems like TMZ and some of the others are picking up the Park pics, saying how Jake is bonding with the kids, blah blah. But its a good sign I think that no one has said anything or posted pics about the Rufus concert besides that hairdo blogger. Gawd lets hope she was mistaken, or just wanted to say she saw Reese to give her a lead into plugging her blonding techniques to the masses.
Indeed, Bowie did not straighten up for succeess, it was more a case of his being open to different experiences and the occassional relationship with men. The story his first wife Angie always told is that she met David when they were both going out with the same man. There is also the story (which Angie may have later retracted) about seeing Mick Jagger leaving Bowie's bedroom one morning.
ReplyDeleteI always heard it that Angie found Mick in Bowie's bed one morning and brought them both breakfast in bed!
ReplyDeleteAll the Bowie/Angie stories makes me want to watch Velvet Goldmine again.
ReplyDeleteI'm ignoring the guilt trip posts because I think its good to have somewhere to vent our disappointment and frustration with the Jeese BS. There's certainly enough places for people to express their glee at this supposed union. Give us our space to express our feelings - we all need that.
ReplyDeleteStellar, interesting about the dc poster. I'm trying to figure out who you are talking about and don't seem to be able. I'm curious though if you have tried pming the person? it would be interesting to hear what they had to say.
I know who stellar is talking about and I don't think the person is J or A :) I pm the person myself from time to time :)
ReplyDeleteWrt Bowie, I read something where he said he was confused by Lindsay Kemp but was basically straight all along. Not forgetting in the glam 1970s it was easier to say you were bi than it is now.
Another site Crabbie's Hollywood, had this caption to go with the LA Park pic of Reeke, with Deacon on Jakes shoulders:
ReplyDeleteJake: "And this is where we filmed the scene..."
Reese: "Damn it Jake. I told you not to talk about that stuff in front of the kids."
Jake: "Sorry hon, it was just such a moving experience for me filming those scenes in the tent with Biff."
Reese: "Biff? Who the hell is Biff?"
Jake: "Did I say Biff? I meant Heath. I never shot any underground gay porn up here with a guy named Biff. That's just a rumor. I categorically deny it."
Reese: "Take mommy's hand honey, and back away slowly with me. Sorry, but your brother will just have to fend for himself."
Terrible, but funny. Not everyone is buying the Happy Couple-Family, are they? :D
I keep forgetting to say that Ikea was of course the place of a J&A sighting. Do I get a second gold star Special?
ReplyDeleteDouble Gold Stars Destiny.
ReplyDeleteWhat's actually quite disturbing is the barrage of comments from the jake is straight brigade on all the sites carrying these photos. its actually quite worrying and concerning how persistent these people are, we should all remember there are more important things happening in the world right now. (apologies that sounds a bit pompous, but you know what i mean).
ReplyDelete"And now I think that she has managed, for the purposes of improving a tarnished 'cheated on' image, to take Jake, a fre spirit who loved life and shared his smile with one and all, and turned him into a sour faced, stiff shouldered, pussy whipped putz.""
ReplyDeleteLOL!
I'm really glad that jake went to the Rufus Wainwright concert. Jake and Rufus' respect and affection for each other, as artists and people, is genuine, and it pre-dates Jake's recent descent into bearding. It's a part of his *real* life, sans 'The Chin'.
At least Jake hasn't lost touch with all of his people! Now, if only he would sew up the moon movie deal so that we could end this madness.
Interesting article on same-sex divorce in MA
ReplyDeleteWell NEtb we didnt get our wish of getting through NYs eve and Valentines Day without a scratch. I really dont know what to say anymore. Sure looks like we are in for more of jeese. God knows how long it will last. Quess all we can do is sit back and watch the show.
ReplyDeleteI still believe that Jake is gay. That will never change. What I am confused about is what jeese is accomphlishing now. I quess we see Reese with a younger guy as Ryan prepares to remarry and and we see Jake putting the straight image in the majorities eye. But they have no shine or spark and I really don't think the general public is interested at all. Can't seeing it selling too many movie tickets. You make good movies and you give good performances and folks will pay to see you perform.
I am ready to say I was wrong if Jake is straight and he and Reese are in love. But I dont see it. I just dont see it. This past week was just so calculated and it makes me furious.
I am not in a competition with anyone who thinks Jake is str8 and jeese is real. It is personal for me and Im in for the long run. I may get down and angry but I wont give up. I will stay and watch the show.
Thanks for putting that thought in my mind when u said it quite a while back Wicked "Lets stay and watch the show and see how it turns out".
I dont know if anyone saw it or not but Gay Civil Unions became law at the stroke ok midnight NYs Eve in the state of New Hampshire.
ReplyDeleteI know who stellar is talking about and I don't think the person is J or A :) I pm the person myself from time to time :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. This is all very interesting. I'm quite intrigued by the idea of Jake visiting the boards that discuss him. I can't imagine what he thinks ;)
Tom, it certainly doesn't seem like the Jeese train is slowing down anytime soon. I think we are all just trying to wait it out in hope of brighter days ahead.
Special Thanks for your post today. It made me laugh so hard. I really needed that.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Jake donated that signed magazine to the auction or signed it for them. If he did that was awesome. Not sure if we could find out. It might have just belonged to someone else who had it but I will keep it in my mind that he may have donated it.
NPH and his boyfriend are so cool. I love them. Great role models for all of us.
Can't seeing it selling too many movie tickets.
ReplyDeletePenelope will probably be her 3rd flop in a row. That would make her last five movies - 4 flops and Walk the Line.
Reese needs all the tickets she can get.
b, yes that is terrible, period. I just cannot see how anyone respectful of the gay comminity would find jokes like that any funny.
ReplyDeleteTom, you are ready to back away if Jake is straight? How on hell? Since you just said you will never ever 'accept' Jake is not gay?
Seriously, this is just too funny for words. What a circus you are putting up. Way to start the new year.
Why hello FL-Felicia.
ReplyDeleteHi Tom!
ReplyDeleteI'm not going to give up the ship yet. I don't know - I just don't feel this Jeese thing, I don't know why. I really wish I could, but I don't. It's so now I don't even look at all the pics anymore, now that the initial shock is over. By shock I mean that with all of the staunch denials, I was very surprised to see that they were supposedly together for months. You would have thought they would make an exciting couple, but to me there's no spark.
G*d, did I love Bowie too. Still do. :)
Someone else seems to think the 'happy family' photos were ordered up by Reese.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.pagesix.com/story/reese+retaliates
one thing, if that's her looking on adoringly, I'd hate to see her when she pissed. Abbie looks lovely though, looks like Ryan's lucked out.
Sorry to play blogwatch, but here's another lot that aren't buying it.

Some of the comments on this one are very funny. Its interesting the on the whole the more 'intelligent' blog sites continue to call Reeke a sham. We're not alone.
I appreciate your playing blogwatch dd3 because, I'll admit, I'm too lazy to do it myself.

ReplyDeleteIf it is on Jezebel it's likely that both Gawker and Defamer will pick it up the story. They are all apart of the same blog group.
Your welcome destiny, I'm going to try to wean myself of the internet in the coming few weeks (this year's new year's resolution) so take advantage of my rather sad life while you can.
ReplyDeleteNew Jeese poll on E! Online
ReplyDeleteSorry TBs. I did contradict myself in my earlier post. I do think that Jake is Gay and I can't see anything convincing me that he isn't. I have an open mind though and things do change. I quess we should never say never. Being Str8 or Gay is not an awful thing. So whatever happens happens. Time will tell.
ReplyDeleteWhile it frustrating that people come over to stir the pot so to speak, we can react to them because that's what fuels them.
ReplyDeleteOMG is about respect - even for those who don't respect us.
I know it is really really tough, and today would be an excellent example for me, and it takes every ounce of strength not to react or call names, but it is best if we give them no reaction and let them babble to themselves.
I agree, and they certainly don't respect me.
ReplyDeleteI agree its best to let them babble away unremarked upon (although this is very difficult I know, I'm as guilty as anyone of enjoying a good ruckus with a troll). It is strange however that the latest slew of Reeke photos, instead of totally reassuring the JiS crowd, just seems to get them more het up and convinced that they have to convince us, thereby drawing more attention to Jake possibly being NCS than if he was seen wandering around NY hand in hand with Austin. Funny old world really.
ReplyDeleteMe too, Spesh, agreed. They are not worth the effort.
ReplyDeleteOMG is about respect - even for those who don't respect us.
ReplyDeletePlease keep this in mind. I just had to delete a comment that called someone a name. That is not what we are about at OMG. I hate to delete anything and am sorry I had to do it. The post had some good points. Perhaps the person who wrote it could re-post without the name calling?
I understand you guys are angry and you should be. We are getting trolled and we don't deserve it. We don't bother them. But please, let's take the high road- together. Leave them to their own blog and we'll enjoy things here.
One final comment from me. It seemed that the 'Reeke wander Santa Monica' wasn't getting much attention. Do you think the they decided to up the ante with the family hike shots, which have got the required response (ie featured on the US Weekly site etc). Its all about publicity after all.
ReplyDeleteGood night
The E! Online Jeese poll doesn't even give the option that it never happened, what the hell?! They need to add choice #4: It's BS.
ReplyDeleteOT: This is truly beyond funny. People on mediatakeout.com post their views on Eddie Murphy getting married to Tracey Edmonds while his bf serves as best man. http://www.mediatakeout.com/20693eddie_murphy_and_tracey_edmonds_got_married_in_bora_bora__johnnie_gill_was_the_best_man.html
ReplyDeleteGetting back to the Reeke pics (poor Austin! He needs to get his face back in the limelight so no one forgets what he looks like!) someone, or a few, keep noticing that Jake keeps wearing the same clothes day after day when he's with Reese. Now no doubt that The Sex smells hawt and luscious and lickable most of the time, but he is human, after all. I don't recall him wearing the same shirts two or three days in a row when he was with KD or Austin or even his friend Chris. But with Reeke, all the time it seems like, even when they went out to dinner remember? Either he's depressed and not making an effort to be fresh and clean for his lovely......or maybe he is trying to make an effort to repel her with his 2 day whiffy.
ReplyDeleteI also noticed how his clothes are so lumberjack. First the Interview pictures of the Outdoorsman, then Reeke, the Moon project, Joe Namath. Could be they trying to butch him up with all the plaid flannel.
I wonder if Jake has asked himself lately "Who's Jake Gyllenhaal?" and what his answer would be. Truly.

ReplyDeleteTrouble in Paradise?
Our spys were hanging out in the bushes in a Santa Monica park over New Years holday weekend, and to what did our wandering eyes should appear but a tearful Reese Witherspoon and a stoic Jake Gyllenhaal with kids in tow. Sources tell us it was a lover's spat, as a few choice words were heard as the happy troupe strolled past. Could there be trouble in Paradise already? Or could it be that by Hollywood accelerated relationship standards, this one's already headed towards bickering boredom? Sigh, well at least they had Rome.
Spesh I love the Fed Ex ad the best. It is so funny. Pretty much sums up jeese on Jakes part.
ReplyDeleteI love the FedEx one, too. Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThx US Weakly, lol. "Choice words" ? OMG in front of the children??? I would love to know those choice words. But it looks like they were glum when they statred on the walk. Or maybe Reeke & Co. are just covering their tracks now that commenters/blogs/other sites have said how unhappy they look. "YES! Let's give Reeke a temporary lovers fight! So they can make up!" And the saga goes on.
Nobody's fooled, are we?

ReplyDeleteAm I the only person who finds this sentence utterly ridiculous *shaking head in disbelief*

b I love that people believe it. Maybe Evelyn will think they have completed the job and jeese will go away. God reese makes Jake so boring. I never thought I would ever see Jake as boring
^^Yes. Why look for trouble where none was meant? Try to consider the general meaning of the post, not dissect a sentence that you misinterpret.
ReplyDeleteThis actor loves the ocean. He likes the ladies, but….
ReplyDeleteRecently he met someone he really seems to have lost his heart to, his biggest problem may be it’s not someone of the opposite sex. The pressure is high for him to keep his secret, but some think he may be getting tired of it."
Interesting BI. Come on, George, come on out.
Gossip girl sounds like Matt Mc to me.
ReplyDeleteNew from Ted:
ReplyDeleteCoupla What?
Certain H-town know-it-alls claim Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal plan to (again) end their romance. “They were never romantically involved,” relayed a close amiga to both stars. “They were just very good friends, trying to help each other out.” For the moment, I’ll leave the why on that particular non-Cupid score alone. After all, could have been for any number of reasons—a messy end to a relationship with horndog Ryan Phillippe will leave any girl ripe for some good ol’ hand-holding, trust.
But look, Reese is a guaranteed movie star. She has an Oscar. She can open a movie. True, she’s had her share of bombs (Rendition with Jake, for ince), but she’s not exactly cautioning her every public move. She can afford to sass ‘n’ screw around a little more than Jake can. Gyllenhaal’s career is still climbing and somewhat unproven, less so Reese’s.
That’s just one reason why a lotta Jakey’s buds have been getting increasingly miffed by the relationship between Reese and Jake (which People had the guffaw-inducing temerity to call “low-key,” after it ran any java-run pic of the two babes it could get its hot little Time Inc. hands on). Gyllenhaal’s friends—who really got tested by this whatever with Reese—feel J.G. was letting himself be used.
“He didn’t need to do this,” bitched one particularly frustrated companion to Jake. “His career was fine. His friends are fine. He has a family. I don’t know why he felt the need to attach himself to Reese like that. Well, I do. But he didn’t need to do it.”
Oh, whatev. Certainly wouldn’t be the first time two famous folks hooked up because they thought it would be a personal and professional tabloid shot in the arm. Hookin'-up hijinks usually don't work out that way. Don’t believe me? Ask Pam and what’s his name.
But back to R 'n' J. Think Jakey finally got sick to death of so many of his buds lampooning him, to put it very mildly, for being Reese’s bitch.
You two, could it possibly be true? Is dimpled paradise ending for you both?
YAY!!!
ReplyDeleteMan we needed that. One thing about Ted he won't let up.
ReplyDeleteYou there Wicked/Spesh. I need to hear what u two ladies are thinking. I can smell it burning here in Jerzey.
Maybe thats why they didnt look so happy on there little stroll. I am beginning to doubt the Rufus sighting. I'll need a cell phone camera shot of that.
ReplyDeleteUS Weakly you are mighty cheeky ;)
ReplyDelete"Reese's Bitch" i love it. is he gettin fixed like me or is she gunna make him push out a passel of pups?
ReplyDelete"good old handholding"
ReplyDeleteLOL
Ted needs to back off on Ryan and not call him a horndog all the time. He wasn't lying about his whereabouts. She didn't care. She thought when she snapped her fingers he would come home which he did for a while. Then one day he didn't. What did she expect?
tr men that age are horny 24 hrs a day. Quess Ryan wasnt getting it at home. Woooooooo.
ReplyDeleteOrchid, my apologies - I actually meant paparazzi or muggers - they are both on the same level at times - but I can see where I could have worded it a bit better. Apologies, all! :)
ReplyDeleteTR, I don't know. I think it's just become customary or instinctive for these gossip columnists, whether they're Ted or Page Six or even rags like US Weekly to call Ryan out for being a cheat--even if there were extenuating circumstances involved as there were in this case.
ReplyDeleteIt's stupid really. I remember my mother telling me repeatedly (and she still does) that people don't cheat unless there's something wrong or missing in a relationship. And if a partner does cheat and the other screams foul, then that person is lying to him/herself.
I read in an article right Ryan/Reese broke up last year that there were times Ryan would crash in his office in Venice just to get away from Reese!! When I read that, I thought man--she must be one heckuva bitch.
Jake is an idiot. I wonder who the frustrated pal was who blabbed to Ted. Austin? LOL. Actually I've heard for the longest while that Ted's Toothy sources are mutual friends of Austin and Jake's (and they're based in NYC).
I have texted Wicked three times. No answer. Get off the phone you two. The Mrs. is gonna hollar.
ReplyDeleteo i get it, she might be leavin. good. i couldnt stand her. my dog hair bothered her, my slobber bothered her, my breath bothered her. she was jelous of daddy and my relationship, how i lie on his lap and sleep, how much he loves me. daddy stopped taking me out for walks and sniffs and pees and poops and i wuz always put in the la dogwerks kennel because she didnt want me around, too much bother blah blah blah bother. hope she goes so daddy and me and my uncles and maybe a baby brother or sister, cuz i miss boo, we can all be together forever. ruff.
ReplyDeleteRuff, ruff. Everyone forgot about me...ruff, ruff. I'm going to lick my nose.
ReplyDeleteRuff, ruff. Everyone forgot about me...ruff, ruff. I'm going to lick my nose.
ReplyDeleteGood old Ted. And on the same day we get that stupid poll on E!
ReplyDeleteboo, i will never forget about you. never. i loved you then, i love you now even tho you left us and crossed over to rainbow bridge. *sniff* *tears* keep a blanket warm for me, a toy fresh and a bone buried, i'll be there with you when my time is up. love you, boo. always will, baby bro. *lick* *slobber* *woof* o and daddy misses you too. *kiss*
ReplyDeleteSadly even if Jake breaks free from Reese he'll still be pressured to protect her reputation by remaining closeted.
ReplyDeleteI wanna know who has been taking care of you Atticus. Who is taking you on your walks. Who is playing go fetch with you. Your Daddy has been so busy with his lady love he hasnt anytime for you.
ReplyDeletethe awful truth said...
ReplyDeleteSadly even if Jake breaks free from Reese he'll still be pressured to protect her reputation by remaining closeted.
I'll take it. I like it when he was in the closet.
^^I know! This is just doing so much more harm than good for Jake -I'm glad he's seems to realize it. Thanks, Ted!
ReplyDelete^^My response at 9:02 was in answer to Destiny's at 8:57. :)

ReplyDeleteAnyone going to claim authorship of 9:11.
ReplyDeletebut dont celebrate yet, we still got 2 months in human years until the boners awards on feb 24, guess it depends on if bothereese and maybee daddy are getting awarded somethin. witch i dont think so, the only thang she shuld get 'warded is that with all her lies her nose isnt growin as fast as her chin chin chinny.
ReplyDeleteNow what makes you think I was on the phone with Spesh, Tom?
ReplyDeleteTed has said a few times now that Jeese is going to break-up. I'll believe it when I don't see it.
ReplyDeletewhile im yappin 'bout bitches, hows my little tinkerbell? tell her i had a growlin good time on our date, rrrrrr.
ReplyDeletebtw is she, um, walking okay?
How I've wished to be proven wrong each time I wrote that Reeke would be a long-term enterprise! Could it be that my wish will soon be granted?
ReplyDeleteBack to work tomorrow (ouch). Sweet dreams everybody. :* :* :*
FYI: No diamond ring on Reeke finger in the LA Park pics. And I'm doubting the NY Eve sighting. I'm thinking too convenient for the blogger, since Rufus was in town and Jake is known to go to his concerts (even be in one). And no pics. Hopefully LA Park was the final straw. Doubt it, but hope. And it springs eternal.
ReplyDeleteAnd no, Wicked, I never PMd the person, never asked directly, but I don't think they would give a direct answer. Maybe londontb can help you out if it's the same animal we know.
Special, did you draw the Barbasol "before and after"? Please tell me you did. :)
ReplyDeleteI can actually see Jeese "breaking up" then "making up" at least one more time because their firey, come-here-go-away love is just that tortured and tumultuous. And God knows we want these two crazy kids to make it.
believe or not I found that drawing bltb -- I think it looks a little Lohanesque don't you think?
ReplyDeleteOnce again, hat's off to Ted for having the balls to speak out. Maybe we will see a smile appear on Jake's face again soon. A real smile. That is one of the things that drew me to him in the first place. Always smiling, always laughing and exhuberant. I know he's older now and we all get jaded by life, but he has looked so unhappy for the last months, I can hardly bear to look at his face.
ReplyDeleteI did comment on WFT that I think Jakes buddies are helping him break the news to Reese by leaking this info.
Long time no see, Atti. Lawd, so Cruella DeVille is finally gettin' the boot, huh? It'll be good to see ya back in the 'hood again.
ReplyDeleteOMG you have got to see this. Jake had lunch with a brunette lady today (looks like business to me), but they titled it "Jake Gyllenhaal Lunches with Busty Mystery Woman" LOL
ReplyDeletehttp://www.fadedyouthblog.com/date/2008/01/
I forgot, you can see the number on their table, 57. I guess Busty Mystery Woman was Jake's Passenger 57. LOLOLOL
ReplyDeleteThat was probably his publicist.
ReplyDeleteSo I guess we can now say for sure that it really wasn't because of the paparazzi he looked so miserable during the walk in the park with Reese and the kids?
ReplyDeleteWhy else would he chat them up just a few days later? Especially seeing as the agency who took these pics are also Flynet.
The pic where he's at the door, he almost looks like he's upset, maybe crying?
ReplyDeleteCould be his current PR, or maybe he's now shopping/interviewing for a new one. Maybe thats why he looks upset, maybe the busty brunette is Evelyn's competition.
Or maybe Baby Tile's mama? ;)
ReplyDeleteCould be his current PR, or maybe he's now shopping/interviewing for a new one.
ReplyDeleteCan't say as I blame him. It's the happiest we've seen him in awhile. :)
Stubborn tb, he doesn't look to be chatting them up in the newest pics. He looks upset and bothered by them.
ReplyDeleteI remember my mother telling me repeatedly (and she still does) that people don't cheat unless there's something wrong or missing in a relationship. And if a partner does cheat and the other screams foul, then that person is lying to him/herself
ReplyDeleteThat is utter bs. Go tell people should blame themselves for being in a relationship with jerks. Some people just cheat because they can.
Look again, he is understandibly not too happy about them being there but still he doesn't look like he did with Reese lately and they are much closer this time.
ReplyDelete^^He does - I only saw the first pic, not the others. I almost can't look anymore. The poor guy. :(
ReplyDeleteCome on people, Jake is pissed because the paps are intruding! Plain and simple. If a camera was in your face constantly what would you do? recently Woody Harrelson, Seal, and guy from EVloves Raymond TV show smacked the cameras out of paps hand. I want Jake to be happy just as all here do, but let's not make things up. He looks like he's cursing somebody out for invading his space once too many times. Jake does NOT look happy here! I don't blame him.
ReplyDeleteA thought, maybe the paps have gotten all the pics they were suppose to get and this was breaking the deal... You know, no other pics of Jake and anyone except you know who......
The brunette is the same PR/publicist/friend as in the October 10th pictures on IHJ. Seems like the paps were really intruding in these pictures. Of course Jake is upset. Still, even though he's pissed he looks happier/more natural than in the latest Reeke pictures. Amazing.
ReplyDeleteI really hope Jeese ends soon. It's getting very embarassing for both parties and I can only imagine what their friends think about it.
Sorry hopeful tb, I can see and understand Jake does not look too happy in the pics with Reese (neither does she, btw) but in which way does he look more happy in these pics, since he is obviously screamings something to the paps? How ridiculous
ReplyDeletePaps don't usually go all the way into a restaurant, or wine bar, as this seems to be. They usually just snap from outside but they seem right up close. I cant tell if he is mad or not. He is more animated than usual, but that may be good. He's been acting like a robot for months. He used to joke with paps so who knows. I have not liked this latest haircut for a long while. Since MV.
ReplyDeleteCooper, I want to talk to Stellar, the person who posted here, not the person from the DC Forum. And what I want to ask them is not Jake-related.
ReplyDeleteGood catch on the missing ring.
Person from DC will drop you a line anyway, wicked, since what I have to say about this is innocuous :)
ReplyDeleteI agree about the haircut, m, it's too differentiated in lengths - I like the very short (Jarhead growing out) and the longer, spiky looks, but not this one, and not when it has the beard attached (no pun intended). The plaid shirt was a final blow, but I always like indie Jake best and I think he has a few more years for that look before middle age claims him :)
Virtual atti is cool.
