Thanks Breaking News for the information.

LOL! What a fantastic post.
ReplyDeleteSame amiga?
ReplyDeleteAug 17, 2007
Don’t know about you, babes, but my peeper always perks for Reese Witherspoon. Adore her. From Legally Blonde and her Oscar-winning job as June Carter Cash in Walk the Line to having the nerve to hook up with a heartbreaker like Ryan Phillippe, this is a gal who knows how to strut her chica cojones, fer sure. (And I don’t simply feel this way because she calls me “Mr. Casablanca.” That’s simply a southern thang, trust.)
And as you may have heard from my canoodling colleagues at Page Six, the rumors are certainly out there that the blondie exes are, perhaps, trying their hands at reconciliation.
Rang up some mutual buds R and I have. Was adamantly told by one amiga: “100 percent not true,” about the possible reunion stuff. But I must tell you, this close Witherspoon camper was the only direct dissenter I could find to the going-it-again talk.
Jan 3, 2008
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.
Who is a female friend to both Jake and Reese?
ReplyDeleteSurprising that Lainey has not picked up on the Jeese and kids pix. I thought she would eat that shit up!
ReplyDeleteSam Ronson is friends with Jake and Ryan although it's most likely someone who is behind the scenes.
ReplyDeleteVery funny post! "known to be attracted to shiny things" - I'm still laughing about that description.
ReplyDeleteSam Ronson doesn't seem like someone who would be likely to be friends with Reese.
ReplyDeleteI noticed Ted's use today of the phrase "the harking that dare not speak it's name".
ReplyDeleteI think the amiga is more likely to be somebody behind the scenes - the faux-Reese maybe? Who knows.
As for the break-up I think they'll get a couple of months more mileage out of this (they haven't had their much-discussed trip to Hawaii yet, I can see that happening sometime) - I'm gonna go ahead and bet on a split by March. Just a guess :-)
Poor Brit has lost it. Man the girl needs help.
ReplyDeleteanother site not buying Reeke:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.mrpaparazzi.com/index.aspx?postID=1573
Despite Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon both being listed as top celebrities for the website, Just Jared has not posted the Jeese and kids pics.
ReplyDeleteBritney. This has become sad now. I read that she's being held for 72 hours. I don't know CA mental health law, but that sounds like it could be an emergency mental health detention. After the 72 hours, something would have to be filed to continue to hold her or she will be released. That's how it works in DC, anyway.
ReplyDelete^^I saw that, Tom, isn't it sad. :(
ReplyDeleteAnyway, clever post today - you gotta be on the lookout for those hair color disguises of Austin's! ;)
I haven't heard this song by Jimmy Somerville. I'll give it a good listen when I get home from work.
I was afraid all of this Reeke business might have the opposite effect too. They should have just left just well enough, just fine, and beautiful alone. :(
Love today's post. You guys get better every day. I hope Austin visits this site himself as I am guessing he has a good sense of humor and would truly enjoy it as well. I can just picture he and Jake laughing together. I do wish we knew where the hell he was in reality though.
ReplyDeleteWeird: Maybe it has something to do with Flynet? I was checking the archives on JJ and they seem to be one of the few agencies that that site doesn't use. I checked Jake's archives and they seem to have one set of pics of Jake from Flynet, several months back but they also credited several other agencies as well.
ReplyDeleteIf you noticed it wasn't just these pics or the ones taken on 12/29 but there are several other sets of pics of them that Flynet has posted and JJ has never posted them and they include the pics of Jake and reese in Napa and the pics of them riding around before Napa, they are not on that site.
And Flynet is suing Perez so we know why he didn't post them.
Britney waving from the gurney to the paps, is not funny, but reminded me of a client from the group home I worked in, who did the same thing to all of us. She waved like she was heading off to Disneyland. This was after she threw herself into the walls repeatedly before we could intervene. The ER became a 72(hr) which be came 21(day)eval.
ReplyDeleteBritney needs true care and treatment and it is long past time for those who really love and care about her to intervene. There is no bandaid for this one.
Just in case... :)
ReplyDeleteHi Austin! Hi Jake!
Just Jared didn't post the SF Jeese and kids pic either, he just mentioned it. And that didn't come from Flynet.
ReplyDeleteNETB, this song is from the Orlando soundtrack.
ReplyDeleteGod WFT is so depressing now. It should be called Waiting for Trolly.
ReplyDeleteIt's just the same "Ted is a clueless liar" postings every day. It's become almost unreadable. Anyone know what Dany is doing these days? Getting on with RL I guess.....
ReplyDeleteThe attraction to shiny objects is my favorite part of the post too blue velvet.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had a chance to catch up on gossip so I haven't seen the stories about Briteney, but it sounds very sad. Maybe she will finally get the help she needs.
The best part of the lunch with busty brunette pics are Jake's pants. The front. Haven't seen him look volumptuous and yummy like that in a long time.
ReplyDeleteWFT has been unreadable for several months now. Perhaps Dany swallowed her own bile.
ReplyDeleteLet's not blame Dany for the harping-on of trolls that are bringing WFT down. I still think she might rally.
ReplyDeleteWhat's more, it takes some courage to say to Hollywood, "I don't buy this closet bullshit." I mean, how dare she?!
The lack of troll control is what makes it unreadable. I always liked Dany's "take-it-or-leave-it" attitude.
ReplyDeleteLet's give WFT respect.
ReplyDeleteIt was where it all started for many of us and I have to say if it weren't for WFT I would have gotten the chance to meet so many of you. And even had thought of doing something like OMG with Wicked.
Can't blame Dany for losing interest. She did a great job for over a year and Toothy/Jake isn't to be waited for any more - more to be observed, like a long Norse saga. Wish I could quit him myself, like smoking. Should have made it one of my NY resolutions, if I ever kept them......
ReplyDelete"the dare not speak its name" thing from Ted. Made me thing of Jake on Ellen for Rendition. When he said something similar to her. Of course we all know what both Ted and Jake were refering to, but it wouldn't be Ellen who is the amiga would it?
ReplyDeleteDon't jump on me, until I put on my kevlar vest, I'm just pontificating here.
Ellen always participated in the jokey hottest-batchelor-in-HW-looking-for-a-girl schtick with Jake, didn't she? I get no impression she knows anything more than the rest of us about Jake's life.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, I would say very few people are really in the know - which makes being a tb kinda surreal.
And I'm not talking about his thighs. Look at the IHJ HQ pics, the package is packing a nice punch.
ReplyDeleteIn all pics of Jake and Reese together he looks def deflated. And I doubt it's from post-sex recuperation.
Stellar getting your groove on?
ReplyDeleteJake seems animated in the new pics. Dare we think it - perhaps even joking and having a good time? Gooberballs goofing off?
ReplyDeleteLove the fashion switch too, beloved tan shirt - the new postal stamp replacement it seems - and a cozy Grampy sweater. Defintely more Jake, than the lumber me up look.
Weird:
ReplyDeleteJared has posed the Jake with his PA pics but he isn't crediting Flynet but Splash news, FUB/Fame. It seems that were more than one set of paps that were there. He mentions Jake, Reese and the kids hiking in Malibu but no pics, again it's obvious that Flynet isn't one of the agencies he has an agreement with.
PS: He seems to be the only to point out that she is his PA.
And what are we supposed to take from all this boringness above?
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm glad to see that he's more relaxed. It's been cringe-worthy lately. He obviously will not disrespect his relationship with A, no matter how many photo-ops are required of him.
ReplyDeleteWeird seemed concerend why JJ didn't post the pics and I just explained why. What's the matter? The explanation wasn't to your liking? Made too much sense??
ReplyDeleteSo why hasn't Lainey posted the pix? She loves Jake. He's on her Freebie 5 and she has insisted for so long that he's not gay. The last thing she posted about Jeese was that Reese was spotted at her uncle's for Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteWhich was wrong. Maybe she is embarrassed.
ReplyDeleteWhich was wrong. Maybe she is embarrassed.
ReplyDeleteI've been wondering about that. I mean, Lainey loooves Jake! And she has been on the JIS bandwagon for so long. I would think she would be basking in being proved right. Maybe she's just bored with Jeese.
Trolls are bored again.
ReplyDelete"another site not buying Reeke:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.mrpaparazzi.com/index.aspx?postID=1573"
Funny isn't it that that site is related to the photo agency Big Pictures (sort of the UK based Flynetonline?), who had some of the copyrights for the infamous Rome lovefest shots (at least in the Daily Mail). If they are coming out not believing Reeke, then something must be wrong in paradise. The whole thing just becomes more bizarre by the day.
BTW.. Love Austin's wanted poster, especially the flight response comment.
I'm not missing. I'm right here with...stop...that tickles..stop it...back to what I was saying oh yeah right...I'm here...stop it... with...that candy necklace can't lure me either..even there...with
ReplyDelete...with..with..
Oh, that Jake, always so impatient! :)
ReplyDeleteHere's a interview with Rufus Wainright.
ReplyDeletelink:
http://delawareonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080103/ENTERTAINMENT/801040315/1114
part about Jake:
Interviewer: Speaking of famous dudes, I saw a video of Jake Gyllenhaal on stage with you in New York last month. That was a little surreal and pretty funny, actually. How did that go down? Do you know him through your involvement with "Brokeback Mountain"?
Rufus: I know Jake quite well, mainly because he'll admit he's a pretty fanatical Wainwright fan. He's been snooping around for a while, which has been lovely. Him, I don't look at as a mother. With him, I'm completely predatorial and willing to go anywhere, but I'm pretty sure he's straight. So that's not gonna -- whatever. We're fine. So I see him in Hollywood, and he's become quite a friend actually.

Actor Austin Nichols pleaded guilty Thursday to drinking and driving in downtown Jackson in August.
Nichols, who was staying with family at Clark Lake last summer, pleaded by mail to misdemeanor operating while visibly impaired.
District Judge Joseph Filip fined him $1,000. The fine was paid and the case is closed, Filip said.
Nichols' most recent television gig was the title character in HBO's "John From Cincinnati," which was canceled after its last episode a week before Nichols was busted.

Thanks Breaking.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the good news about Austin!
ReplyDeleteUpdated the post with the news about the case.
ReplyDeleteThings for 2007 settled he can look forward in 2008.
Very good news about Austin! Thanks for the info. And thanks for the Rufus interview!! Great to hear that he and Jake are good friends.
ReplyDeleteWhew! Glad that's over and I'm glad Austin didn't have to shlep back to Michigan for this. Good he got a fine and that was it.
ReplyDeleteMay 2008 rock for him.
May 2008 rock for BOTH Austin AND Jake.
ReplyDeleteThat's great news for Austin and a great beginning to the new year for him.
ReplyDeleteMaybe they are both getting everything hanging over them from 07 resolved. ; )
ReplyDeleteReading the Rufus/Jake part over,it sounds like Rufus might have made a move or asked or something but got declined, by the way he says 'its not gonna....we're fine...so I see him around HW' What do you all think? First time I read it, nothing. Another read it takes on another meaning in the 'we're fine' part.
ReplyDeleteBut Rufus is pretty sure JIS?! I think JIS (Jake Is Smart) in letting him think so. The entertainment world (esp music) is very small.
Stellar, Rufus has a boyfriend and I think they have been together for a while. I just think Rufus has a crush on Jake and has mentioned that before. ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat news about Austin. I'm still puzzling over that comment from Rufus. But he does say "pretty sure" not "I know".
ReplyDeleteRE: Rufus
ReplyDeleteWhy would he out Jake. From my gay guy friends there is an understanding, "I don't say unless they say (they're out)"
And would a good friend out their friend anyway?
pretty sure? That is a weird way to put it. He sounds disappointed.
ReplyDeleteI realize my post was not clear as to why I was puzzled, which is that he said anything at all. Pretty sure sounds tongue in cheek to me.
ReplyDeleteGreat news about Austin, now he can move forward. I cannot, cannot, cannot imagine a friend talking to the media about another friend's sexuality. Just cannot. If anything, he'd give a pat answer - never would a friend talk to the media about something so personal.
ReplyDeleteWicked, I never saw the film Orlando, and I wish I had.
To me it sounds like Rufus said that he would love to go with Jake "anywhere he's willing to go" and then realized that he had to explain why it was never going to happen.
ReplyDeleteSince he's a friend and would never out Jake, he had to come up with something. He can hardly say that it's because Jakes boyfriend would kill him if he tried.
At Defamer, Jake Gyllenhaal Even Makes Losing His Parking Ticket At The Arclight Dreamy And Adorable
ReplyDeleteI find it hard to believe that a str8 guy especially a HW movie star would become infatuated with Rufus. HELLO!!!!
ReplyDeletePlus Sweeney Todd is a musical. Gay men love musicals.... LOL!!
A cap with Jake embroidered on the side. Oh Please. PUKE!!!!!
A cap with Jake embroidered on the side. Oh Please. PUKE!!!!!
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly Tom, the yuck factor of Reeke multiplies again.
Also, great news about Austin, must be a great relief to have all sorted out.
ReplyDeleteBad news for Jake though, the BAFTA longlist has just been announced.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.variety.com/VR1117978434.html
Neither Zodiac or Rendition are in any of the categories I imagine it will be Atonement's year, especially the very dreamy James McAvoy.
Now, why would Reese want to cover up such a bitchin' dye job, the one described in exacting detail on NY Eve, by wearing a baseball cap?
ReplyDeleteWomen do that all the time down here, especially as they're Walmart shopping.
The hat does sound ick. I wonder who the other actorly types were?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Austin post and news - glad that's over now and he can move on. (((Austin))) Will Jake be allowed to play outside with him again now? :D
NETB - I think you'd like Orlando! I had forgotten how great this song was.
Winterbird - I saw a little of the programme you mentioned and was amazed at how goodlooking Ted is and how good for his age :D
I'm guessing Flynet took yet another night off on the 29th?
ReplyDeleteFunny, seeing as they were "stalking" Reeke the whole morning and very early on the 30th too...
Sorry to keep posting links to other sites (bit bored and NY sobriety challenge beginning to bite) but dlisted is being rather cruel (as usual).
ReplyDeletehttp://www.dlisted.com/node/21045
That must have been the Red Sox hat he has with his name on the side.(see park pics) Of course she had to "borrow" that one for because without a hat in a dark theater someone might recognize you. But isn't that the point?
ReplyDeleteNot here's the question. Did they have the buffer seat between? You know for popcorn efficiency of course.
You know Austin has mentioned his patronage to the Arclight in several interviews. That would make sense for a cinephile.
^Now not Not
ReplyDeleteInteresting Jake mention by Rufus. Rufus made it sound like he has a bit of a crush on Jake. Then he backtracks by saying he's "pretty sure" Jake's straight. He's "quite a friend" of Jake's and all he can say is that he's "pretty sure?" Of course Rufus cannot out Jake.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see Austy get the DUI behind him.
NETB- rent Orlando. When I saw it in the theater, most of the audience stayed for the entire credits because we wanted to see who was singing this song.
Bet Kate Hudson was there.
ReplyDeleteRe the baseball cap. Don't think Reese could wear Jakes due to his huge head. Forgot his hat size but its bigger than norm.
ReplyDeleteRe the baseball cap. Don't think Reese could wear Jakes due to his huge head. Forgot his hat size but its bigger than norm.
ReplyDeleteAnd Reese is always described as incredibly tiny. That sighting is from almost a week ago and is only coming out today.
In my entire life, I have never heard of a straight man who took his girlfriend to so many gay activities!
ReplyDeleteGotta say this blog is awesome. Cool comments, the thinktank attitude and usernames like Runnin back to Hurl make it a pleasure.
ReplyDeleteRufus admitted on a Canadian talkshow before that he indeed has/had a crush on Jake and joked that he needed to reassure his boyfriend... i could definitely imagine Rufus try to flirt with Jake, whether he thinks he's gay or straight.
ReplyDeleteVery funny post again today! Good to hear that Austin got the DUI behind him.
London tb: yeah, Ted looks good on that programme... slender long legs and youthful face - maybe marriage did that to him :)
Wicked: Most of the sightings are over a week old 12/19 -1/1. They are being added now I assume because of the holiday.
ReplyDeleteBaseball caps can be adjusted, you should know that. In one of the hiking pics on IHJ, the one where Jake is carrying the 2 ice teas, he has a cap on that is clearly too small, or maybe it was Deacons because it's just plopped on his head.
Isn't I'm pretty sure he's straight same as I'm not totally sure he's straight?
ReplyDeleteSee, I thought Sox cap that Jake had was like the ones the players wear - wool and fitted to a specific head.
ReplyDeleteWEll, could it be that Ted's calling out was the slap that Pereez needed?
ReplyDeleteCopy from his Joan's pic post -
A cute pic of Gyllenho!
Jake Gyllenhaal was seen eating at Joan's On Third with a female companion on January 2nd.
Nice beard!
He has several Sox caps. But all are the standard blue with red B. It is the back of the cap that you can tell he has different ones. Well and the one with his name on the side.
ReplyDeleteCaps can be adjustable but within the size range. They are'nt one size fits all. Reese prob is SM womens Jake is XL mens. If she wore his cap it would cover half her face.Hey, not a bad idea. (sorry to the R lovers)
ReplyDeleteLight bulb just went on: He prob got a few caps with his name on side, in all differnt sizes, when he went to the Sox promo (because how are they gonna know what size all the celebs wear plus the extras can be given away by the celebs, everyone wins). He kept his size, gave the peabrain hat to Reese. Sorry again. Not really.
ReplyDeleteDamn, Perez!
ReplyDeleteDistrict Judge Joseph Filip fined him $1,000. The fine was paid and the case is closed, Filip said.
ReplyDeleteThanks Breaking News. :)
I loved the Rufus interview. I still can't understand why a supposingly str8 guy(jeese) would become a fanatical fan of Rufus. Come on. I really do think that Rufus has a crush on Jake. Maybe Rufus prefers to think that Jake is probably str8 because it makes it easier for him if Jake doesn't seem interested in a romantic relationship.
ReplyDeleteJake Gyllenhaal was seen eating at Joan's On Third with a female companion on January 2nd.
ReplyDeleteNice beard!
If Perez jumps off the Jake is str8 train things are gonna get really tough on Jake. Jake has seemed to handle all the gay rumors so well until jeese. It seemed like he was having the time of his life. Now he seems miserable. I quess it what he wants though he is out there playing the game.
Very good news about Austin. He's done what he needed to do - and graciously - and I'm happy he can now look forward into the new year. :)
ReplyDeleteThat Rufus quote had me grinning and shaking my head. As a very long-time Rufus fan, I can assure you that Rufus-speak is never subtle and almost always loaded. It also does a disservice to the reader not to be able to hear his voice/intonation and see his wild facial expressions. Or his devilish laugh, which I'll bet was peppered throughout that quote, especially the end. So it would've been more like, "I'm preeeeetty sure he's straight, eheheheheheh!" (insert cartoon-y let-me-think-about-it-for-two-seconds face, eyebrows furrowed, mouth in sly smile) "Pretty" is a word Rufus will throw out liberally, and I would say it's fairly non-committal. By my calculations, Rufus has known Jake for at least 5 or 6 years, so he either knows or doesn't care (but probably has an idea). He's a shameless flirt and I can actually see him and Jake being rather affectionate with one another. Rufus being sexual about Jake is just a given, lol.
Rufus is what you see is what you get as a person, but very playful with words; he's left it wide open, imo. He's also *very* loyal as a friend. Very. So he would say or do whatever he needs to for Jake. I love hearing that they've become closer friends. That solidifies a lot of nice things about Jake for me. I'll just have to love him forever for that now. :)
And it was a phone interview so if Rufus didn't do any verbal play in that quote who knows he could have been rolling his eyes at whoever was with him in the room when he said it. ;)
ReplyDeleteme, yeah I am sure Perez must be oh so scared of what Ted says... Perez is just the usual moron. If he cared about what Ted said, he would have a pic of Jake with Reese and the 'nice beard' comment, not one of Jake and his publicist.Duh.
ReplyDeleteAnon at 8:57, we use names here. And we don't use terms like "retard".
ReplyDeleteBaby steps, Perez, baby steps.
ReplyDeleteAnd we don't use terms like "retard".
ReplyDeleteBut we know who does, don't we?
Actually, they don't, and they made that pretty clear to their posters. So I'm not a fan of gyllenbabble, but at least they were clear about that too.
ReplyDeleteSome people have one persona on blogs they like and another for when they troll. I think some of our trolls do this. They sound quite reasonable on their own blogs but let it all hang out when trolling other blogs.
ReplyDeleteSome of you must not read Perez because he has always gone back and forth on his "commentary" on Jake posts from gay to not gay. Really mean spirited of you that want Jake to be a target. Like that is going to get him or any other celeb to "come out of the closet". Would you want to hounded? I don't think so.
ReplyDeleteAnd you haven't been reading this blog, 'cause if you had you would know that what we wish for Jake and Austin is to be free of the closet's shame, nothing more.
ReplyDeleteWow, love that Rufus and Jake are such good friends. Love Rufus andway. I doubt very much he'd say anything to hurt him. Predatorial? Heh,heh - I hear ya, Rufus - personally, I'd like to have Jake for lunch, but I'm one of the few wolves who is a vegetarian. ;)
ReplyDeleteWow, what a fabulous idea for a story, Orlando. How did I ever miss that? It's a story that would be right down my street. I do remember it being advertised and wanting to see it, I guess it must have been the so-many-film-out, so-little-time thing, but I'll definitely have to rent it (especially with Jimmy Somerville in it!), and read the book. :)
ReplyDeleteyou would know that what we wish for Jake and Austin is to be free of the closet's shame, nothing more
ReplyDeleteCool, and you pursue that by applauding mean spirited and ugly comments directed at Jake? Wow, way to go!
Hello Sarah.
ReplyDelete'by applauding mean spirited and ugly comments directed at Jake? Wow, way to go!'
ReplyDeleteWow, what a brainless, mindless follower!
^
ReplyDeleteLet's not engage, let them think what they like. It would be good if they could stay away, though.
Has the oddest dream last night - Jake and Reese were going to do a production of 'She' (H Rider Haggard) on Broadway :D I'm serious - what a transparent dream.
