I feel I need to address the detective work in the last thread. I saw it just now. My personal feeling is that if Person A puts him or herself out there online posting on multiple sites and Person B is able to put the pieces together and figure out Person A's identity and expose it, there is nothing wrong with that. Person A chose to put him or herself out there. However, if enough of you feel that we should delete that post, then let us know via e-mail and we will. It must be e-mail, not posting here. It is too easy for one person to multiple post. I want to get a true sense of how many of you feel the post should be deleted. Thanks.
WDW and Gyllenbabble have the same topic in their current posts. WDW's went up first, but Gyllenbabble set the time on their post so it would look like they put theirs up first. Looks like petty thievery is alive and well.
I don't really want to give our troll too much attention, but I do find it interesting that his real name is probably Jack. His posts are very similar (though toned down) to those of another Jack we all know so well. His last name also interested me - remove a few letters and you have the perfect moniker for him.
Enough of that. I love the link in the previous thread about TDAT and the Jake and Austin pairing in it. :)
I wanted to talk to Wicked first before addressing the issue of the detective work or removing it. Both of us are very mindful of censorship.
Like Wicked said, please email us and let us know, so that we can get a true sense of feeling from OMG.
On the Gyllenbabble - WDW controversy. Shame on them. It takes time, hard work and creativity to do something everyday. There are many times that I look at WDW's, Spooky2th's or Hjulia's and go, why didn't I think of that. You respect the hard work that goes into it you don't make it look like you came up with it first.
Its possible WDW and GB both went with a current released Jake news topic. Unless theres obvuios plagurism?
Gyllenbabble set the time on their post for 12:22 pm, but that post was not up until between 4 and 5 pm yesterday. That's what I question. If the time was correct, I would be more inclined to think that maybe they had both come up with the same idea.
Just saw the labels put on this topic: 'Get down and get Funky' lol Yea, thats what I'll punch in when I'm looking for this again!! Re the controversy-c'mon lets all dance and it'll be better.
This song makes me want to go grocery shopping. The store I go to plays nothing but '70s music. A while back, they were told they could only play the corporate CDs, but people complained so vigorously that they went back to the '70s!
Whenever there's new news about Jake/Austin I expect to see similar posts on all of the fan sites. My main interest in the SWSX film festival is that Jake has a vested interest in one of the films, the festival is taking place in Austin, TX and Austinite Austin is a major film buff.
I will not claim to be a good dancer, far from it. But I love to dance because it always makes me feel better. I put on the funk soul disco house techno whatever, if it's got a good beat I'm going to dance to it.
"Heath Ledger Funeral – Michelle Williams Arrives, Will Jake Gyllenhaal?
...Michelle was expected to show up to Heath's funeral but many are wondering whether Heath's friend (and godfather of Matilda) Jake Gyllenhaal will attend as well.
Since Heath's death, friends of Gyllenhaal have expressed the actor's turmoil but Jake has not yet released a statement and has reportedly not made an appearance at any of the memorial services held for his good friend.
The private funeral is expected to take place sometime this week."
I will not claim to be a good dancer, far from it. But I love to dance because it always makes me feel better. I put on the funk soul disco house techno whatever, if it's got a good beat I'm going to dance to it.
Oh Spesh, I'm glad I'm not the only one - as much as I love music, I'm not a good dancer. But I still love dancing - some music just demands that you get up and dance, and won't take no for an answer! Thanks for the KC this morning. ;)
'The NYC medical examiner has finished the toxicology report following the death of Heath Ledger, and has just ruled that the actor's death was caused by "acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam, and doxylamine."
The NYPD found five medications in Ledger's apartment after his death, including anti-anxiety medications alprazolam (Xanax), diazepam (Valium) and Lorazepam (Ativan). The sleeping medication zopiclone (Lunesta) and the sedative temazepam (Restoril) -- which is used by people with "debilitating insomnia" -- were also found. Doxylamine is an antihistamine used in the short-term treatment of insomnia.'
For some reason I have a hard time picturing Austin dancing to disco/tech; I picture him as more of a sway to the rock music kind of guy. I could also see him in a tux doing some Fred Astaire-type moves.
About Heath: I suspect he didn't get all these medications from the same doctor, probably not even in the same state or country. The sad thing is even if there was such a thing as an electronic medical file accessible throughout the world, as an HW celeb he could have gotten hold of any drug of his choice, whether legal or not, if he wanted too. Yes, very sad indeed.
On a happier note, I love KC and the Sunshine Band even though this band always seemed to use three chords and five words in each and every one of their songs. :D
Boy, what I would not give to see Jake and Austin on the dance floor. You just know they have a good time together.
Re the Jack troll, he made some comments the other day on babble about how everyone knows who he is. I don't think he gives a rat's ass about Jake. He just wants attention for himself. Glad you are deleting his comments.
Beautiful statement made by Heath's dad re the tox report. His family all seem like wonderful people. I am hoping this allows everyone to move forward. Intersting that the E gossip story says Jake was not at any memorials. Why bloggers make up things is beyond me, but then again someone tried to pose as Heath's father. Go figure.
Ask someone in the addiction community what they think happened to Heath and they will not say he just wanted to sleep. Of course, it's all speculation, but some of us have seen this before. Doesn't make it any less sad or any easier to take.
The same message, sans dumb and idiot. Let it stand. Politics matters, even in fan-space.
-------
"Austin likes Obama for the same reason a lot of other people like him--because he stands for change. After 8 years of a Clinton and 12 of the Bushes, I think a lot of people would prefer to not have 8 more years of another Clinton."
If Nichols likes Obama for that reason, then he's even less sophisticated than I thought he was five minutes ago.
Obama is vapor-ware. He is not a genuine change-agent at all.
His policies are very similar to those of Hillary and Edwards. In fact, if they weren't, he wouldn't be a first-tier candidate. A real policy change-agent would be Kucinich, but where is he now? Not surpringingly, Obama wants all of the rhetorical benefits of calling himself a change-agent, without paying any of the costs.
Obama is not going to change the tone of politics. He went down to SC and kissed up to an incredibly anti-gay black minister in order to lock up more of the black vote. And when he said that 'Hillary is not good for our people', he was race-baiting, plain and simple. None of this sounds like change to me : it sounds like good old-fashioned political whoredom. More of the same.
So, what's left? If it isn't his policies or his approach to politics, why is Obama calling himself a change agent?
Two reasons : he's the anti-Hillary, and he's a respectable, black man. Now, I happen to like Hillary, and I'm going to vote for her, so the first rationale falls apart. And as for the second reason, I would be hard-pressed, even under the best of circumstances, to vote for someone just because they are a respectable black man. My Dad was a respectable black man, and he wasn't qualified to be president either. But this is hardly the best of circumstances : we're going into a recession, we're fighting two wars, we have the worst international reputation since WWII when we were forced to join because of Pearl Harbor, the deficit is going through the roof, global warming is an international crisis, the dollar is falling, the stock market is schizophrenic and I haven't even mentioned Iran yet. And you're telling me that I should put some fourth-rate neophyte, a man who has done nothing of consequence in the US Senate for four years, and never faced any significant republican opposition, into the White House just because he's a respectable black man?
If Nichols is poorly informed enough to drink the Obama-koolaid, then I hope that he stays away from Jake. Jake separated himself from one unsophisticated starlet three years ago (Kirsten). He shouldn't get involved with another one now.
I defend Bauhaus' right to speak! Speaking of Bauhaus (and bands) I knew there would come a day when you would play a Peter Murphy song and I would miss it. I was out of town and I saw that you played "Cuts You Up", one of my Peter Murphy faves, and I wasn't here to enjoy it! :)
The Ramones were all about attitude, and KC and the Sunshine Band is all about dancin' and a little bit of funk, no need to be complicated! ;)
Bauhaus can speak but why here? I think its u know who. Delete it please. If only because its a political rant that has nothing to do with todays blog post and does not belong here. Its a waste of space.
I love KC and the Sunshine Band even though this band always seemed to use three chords and five words in each and every one of their songs.
And your problem with that is, what? :)
Actually my main problem with KC was that I could never rely on them to improve my English vocabulary. For that purpose I had to turn to the British group Genesis' flowery lyrics - now that's what I'd called words aplenty!
Ha, the Ramones, good old days... Another group which was pretty cheap with words and chords was the German trio Kraftwerk. Remember them? Trans-Europe-Express, Trans-Europe-Express, Trans-Europe-Express, etc. during 20 minutes or so I think. :0
London, truth to tell, that's what got me as well - the "unsophisticated starlet" description of Austi! ;) For that alone, we'll put Bauhaus Jack on probation. But if he or she misbehaves, Aus! I loved Kraftwerk!
I love KC and like some of Kraftwerk's music, but the Ramones never really did anything for me, although I can appreciate their influence on music.
But back to dancing, I can also see Austin doing some Texas swing moves or two-stepping. And I'm sure he could do a Santa hat dance if the right person asked him to.
f Nichols is poorly informed enough to drink the Obama-koolaid, then I hope that he stays away from Jake. Jake separated himself from one unsophisticated starlet three years ago (Kirsten). He shouldn't get involved with another one now."
Who are you calling an unsophisticated starlet??????????? Put 'em up, pal! I'm going to clock you into 2010.
Obama all the way!! I demand a recount in the California primary! The Hillaryites dabbled in corruption.
Listen to me crackle pop, Hillaryites stole the California election. There was NO way she got the youth vote or any other vote. Obama was on his way to a clean sweep (okay, there's New York, New Jersey, Oklahoma--but those people are not representative of America, they're not bellwether states like Missouri or Ohio) and then this shit happened in California. No way was this a clean election. No way.
Obama rules!! Our next president of the U.S. Look out, Hillie.
Austin, I propose you out your youthful energy into fighting the conservative status quo, rather than accusing (wrongly) those on the same side as yourself. Obama was nNOT heading towards a clean CA sweep (he was never polled as winning) and to accuse Hillary Clinton of voter corruption is ridiculous. I suggest you check out http://www.blackboxvoting.org/ if you really want to stop voter fraud, because I assure you the Republicans will once again stop at nothing to win, and playing into their soundbytes re. Clinton is just sophomoric. I hope you have your ass out there supporting WHOEVER is the more progressive candidate. I certain will. And I hope either Obama or Clinton, whoever loses, will to.
It's not a case of petty "winners/losers" anymore, it's the case of a globally warming/dying planet, a potential Iran war, and yet another seat on the already conservative-crowded Supreme Court.
wicked and Spesh - thanxs for nothing on leaving that reprinted rant you deleted from yesterday but not today. its just gonna get worse. methinks 'austin' is 'bauhaus' is 'jp' is boorassa. more ways than one.
Sorry to break this up but...apparently the feds are getting involved with Heath's death. As a result of the autopsy results, they are now investigating as to how he got multiple prescription drugs.
Sophia is a good friend. They both went to USC together. And she was in the magical shoes pictures of Austin on the beach with Jake's shoes somehow in the picture.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say it. Jake and Austin are still together. They have a kid together. Jake is currently bearding to protect the newborn from press invasion.
is matt frost the guy who was in the x17 or tmz vid a while back outside Jake's house when Jake was saying bye to some old people? this matt frost looks like he was in the background hanging with someone who looked like reese but was thot to be another blonde assistamt. anyone remember?
no, the blonde GIRL was thot to be the asst. i was asking if this Matt Frost was one of the guys with Jake outside his house in the vid. sure looks like it if I remember right. does anyone remember the vid?
Crackle, what is Sophia doing with her hands? If she's giving him a hand job, it looks like he's getting a pretty bad one based on his expression (he looks so polluted).
wicked and Spesh - thanxs for nothing on leaving that reprinted rant you deleted from yesterday but not today. its just gonna get worse. methinks 'austin' is 'bauhaus' is 'jp' is boorassa. more ways than one.
I told Bauhaus yesterday that I would have let the comment stand if he/she had not used insults such as "idiot" and "dumb" to refer to people. Rest assured, we WILL be keeping an eye on this. I don't want to go around deleting people. I am not interested in turning into the J&A censorship blog.
Matthew Katz-Frost was Jake's P.A. on at least three films...in addition to the two mentioned above, he was also listed in the credits for TDAT as P.A.
Doesn't it look like a really great party? I like the idea of Austin the hipster. He also still manages to looks completely fantastic even when completely wrecked, as does Sophia Bush.
And its nice to see him rocking the ring. A nice mid-week treat all round.
"I work in the industry and happen to know that guy. He's a friend of Jake Gyllenhaal's who was with him in London recently during the Baftas. I saw him at an afterparty there. Don't know why he's with Dunst as he's definitely part of Jake's coterie."
"That is Matthew Frost, an independant director who has made a couple of short films. He is not solely the friend of Jake Gyllenhaal, he is the friend of Kirsten Dunst, Austin Nichols, Samantha Ronson and a host of other entertainers. He is not dating Kirsten Dunst. Birds of a feather flock together and that's all I am going to say."
"Matthew Frost was in London with Jake at the Baftas? It's been a while since I saw any pics of Jake and Matthew together that I forgot about him. Glad to hear he still hanging with Jake."
LOL at revealing all on Matthew Frost. Seems like Austin is having a blast with old friends. He looks totally wasted in both pictures and amazingly fantastic and stylish at the same time. Glad to see the ring back.
An observation: based on Just Jared pics Sophia has been hitting all the parties lately.
I am really beginning to believe that all of Hollywood is caught up in an immense bearding arrangement.
Mia Maestro - kissing Penelope Cruz (almost undeniably gay) in recent video. Penelope formerly bearded for Orlando Bloom (an ex "boyfriend" of Kirsten Dunst's). Kirsten, also heavily rumored to prefer women (a particularly well-founded affair was with her director Sophia Coppola) dated Jake Gyllenhaal(heavily rumored to be gay). Now, let's not forget that Jake's personal assistant on many films has been Matthew Frost (pictured recently with Jake's rumored boyfriend, Austin Nichols), or two of Jake's rumored "girlfriends" - Samantha Ronson (almost certainly gay) and Mia Maestro (also rumored to be lesbian) - and so we go back to the beginning of this circle.
As they have done for decades, Hollywood gays/lesbians have been paired up like a merry-go-round. One of them comes out and the whole thing crashes to the ground.
THAT is what the above quoted poster meant by "birds of a fetaher".
If you want to see who's gay in Hollywood, look no further than the repeat-beards (usually lesbian) themselves.
An interesting starting point would be to see who NPH or the guy from Grey's Anatomy or David Hyde Pierce or Tammie from Popular (Melissa E's wife) were officially paired up with.
The jacket looks very familiar and the scarf does too Ebony. I think the shirt Austin was wearing in the Obama video looks very similar to something of Jake's. But then don't all friends share clothes? : )
I wonder if they hit the Marc Jacob's Marc by Marc show last night. Looking at his throwback mod take on men's suits in the pics on New York Magazine this morning, I really thought it was Austin's look. And what a small world if he did, since Marc and his bf were at Kate Hudson's Halloween party that Jeese went to.
Come on boafi, you don't know why Jake isn't seen with them. He is seen with Rufus W. still. I also don't think he was romantically linked to Samantha Ronson because she was an out lesbian at the time.
? if you find Jake "uninteresting" why are you here?
Thanks Special for the cute pictures of Jake shaking his cute booty on Ellen.
Has anyone heard any such rumors? This is new to me.
P.S. Bourassa and bauhaus are definitely one in the same. They write the same, they insult others the same. It's funny how Bourassa is busted and suddenly bauhaus returns with a vengence.
Hey guys, Heath's death and the DEA's investigation into it (why he had so many prescription drugs) was the lead story on the local NYC news. The DEA is subpoenaing medical records and NYPD files.
Austin and Sophia aren't together. They're longtime friends - in fact when Sophia Bush broke up with her husband, she was linked without her approval to both Jake and Austin - she made some comment like "If I have to be around guys at all, those two are the guys I want to be around."
Then later, when AUstin flirted with bearding during John from Cincinatti promotion, he made a comment about having dated Sophia Bush in the past (which she had actually lied about and denied herself).
So no, if anything, this photo is being used to promote Austin as "straight", but the truth is they are old good friends who went to school together.
Maybe Austin has that ring back on in homage to Heath especially if as people suspected, that ring is a replica of what Randy Quaid wore in Brokeback Mountain (a film Austin loved).
boafi.. I don't think this photo is being used to promote anything other than Austin was at what looks like a pretty good party and an old friend sat on his lap. Good on you Sophia I say, I think most people would do the same if they were in here position.
Or maybe Austin is wearing that ring as a visual Jake link, since he's wearing a shirt. Just a wink and nudge to all those who know, a shout out to say "Yup, despite Reeke, I'm still here!"
Heath's death and the DEA's investigation into it (why he had so many prescription drugs) was the lead story on the local NYC news. The DEA is subpoenaing medical records and NYPD files.
When I heard about all the different prescriptions found in his system, I thought there might be an investigation. If one doctor gave Heath prescriptions for all those meds, that person's head is going to roll.
Austin and Sophia look like they are together. Has anyone heard any such rumors?
Posted by Broadwayfan, Nov 23, 2007
"I will never forget when Lainey ran a blind item about Sophia Bush, about how Chad Michael Murray cheated her shortly after they got married and what a rat he was, bla bla bla.
But then Lainey continued on by saying that the pain Sophia felt is nothing next to the pain she felt upon learning that her first post Chad love interest was gay as glitter. So let me get this straight, Austin (who Lainey was referring to) is gay as glitter but NOT JAKE!! OH NO! NOT HIM!! NO NO NO!!!
Meg I wonder if you would say the same if a woman not Reese) was sitting on Jake's lap. I am sure you would have some little sarcastic comment about his trying to appear straight.
siaso..just because you sit on someone's lap doesn't mean you have to marry them (nor does it make you pregnant). Its actually quite a common occurance at parties where alcoholic beverages are being served.
Anyway, even though I think Sophia Bush once described Austin as gay as a goose, if they are together, way to go Austin, she looks like fun, is very stylish and also rather sexy (unlike someone else we can all think of eh).
However, I'd put them down as being just friends.. actually in the other photo with Austin in that Matthew bloke also has his arm round Austin, does that mean they're dating too.
How come Austin gets a "way to go Austin" if he is seen with a woman but Jake (before Reese) got hell whenever he was even seen walking with someone including Sophia?
Poor, dear Heath, it didn't have to happen. :'((( I felt sure his death was an accident, but to have it confirmed can't help but bring another level of sorrow. That LA Times interview snippit had me in floods of tears again. He encapsulated himself beautifully there and the essence and perspective he had will be deeply missed.
What better way to insure no unwanted and inappropriate grabby hands during a party that finds you in a slight alternated state of awareness than sitting on one lap you KNOW will not be interested in more than what passes between good friends?
"Russell is in preproduction on Nailed, a political satire starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Biel, which he cowrote and will direct. It is expected to start shooting on April 15."
I'm new here but if my opinion means anything for what its worth I wish you guys would delete anything and each and every post this boor puts out. he just wants to argue about anythuing. delete delete delete. enough slaps in the face and he wont show up anymore. reading this blog is fun but when i have to see stuff like this it's booring. I'm gone for now because of his posts. Call me when its fun again.
I deleted Jeff's information from the last post. I want him to stay out of here, and I think that will help. We'll see. Might have to moderate comments for a while.
I have a favor to ask to all of you guys. Is it possible to ignore that Jeff guy? Really ignore him? Each time he shows up here there's a string of comments about him that only feed his ego. Thanks.
Wow, the Ring is back. Austin looks wasted but seems to have a lot of fun. My guess is he was wise enough not to drive home this time.
Glad to know Kiki is getting help. I couldn't believe it when her rep said she was fine a couple of days ago. This comes after Mendes who got into rehab too not long ago. I wonder if Heath's passing had some trickle effect on these guys or maybe on their friends who suddenly realized that you can die doing drugs.
Heath's family's latest statement was beautiful but I doubt that tox report will bring them any kind of closure. That list of meds screams of a person who was severely distressed either physically, psychologically or both. I hope the feds find the assholes who gave him all that legal shit.

I've been pleading for people to ignore him for a while now. He WILL be deleted, so if you respond to him your posts won't make sense. Please don't respond to him.
Frenchy theres nothing wrong with those meds. I think: He prolly got them from at least 2 different doctors, maybe 1 in US other in London or whrever. Heath was prolly asked by all doctors what meds he was taking and he most likely said 'none'. so you really cant blame the prescriber if they get wrong or incomplete info from the patient.

You're quite right Plain Truth. Will try to think before posting next time. :) I guess that laconic yet terribly telling list of meds just made me emotional. I imagine him alone in that empty apartment trying to get some kind, any kind of relief and just finding none and it breaks my heart.
^^While they are not entirely at fault, I still think physicians are a bit too free prescribing medications. They are well aware of the abuse and addictive potential of all of these types of drugs, and the predictable human behavior of what could be a potential addict, and I wish they'd give more of an assessment before just throwing a prescription at someone - it's just a shame. It's just devastating.
Not that patients dont dr. shop, but I thought this was an interesting article. I read that Anna Nicole's one dr. prescribed eleven different medications for her!
Okay--just took a look at this week's rags. Most are focusing on Michelle, how she's coping. In Touch has an article about how Mary Kate tried to reach out to Michelle after Heath's death but got the cold shoulder because Michelle thinks she contributed to Heath's downfall.
Then one of the rags has an article on how Heath's women--Michelle, Naomi Watts, Helena C., Lohan (gag), etc. are coping.
Then the coup de grace--oh this is a beauty. OK rag has an article about how Jake is grieving. It said he hasn't appeared at the memorials because he wants to grieve privately and that after he found out Heath died, he called Reese, went on and on about how much he loved her and how she changed his life; he also spoke to his sister for a long while who got worried about him. And at one point, he sounded "groggy and mumbled"--and was losing it. His parents thought about flying to the Brothers set so he wouldn't be alone but Jake wanted to grieve by himself (whatever--he wanted to tough it out himself). The article ended by saying that even though Jake is suffering (oh-he also felt guilty for not being there for Heath because he didn't know how bad it had gotten for him), he does know he has people to lean on when it gets bad.
Posted by Nailed: "Russell is in preproduction on Nailed, a political satire starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Biel, which he cowrote and will direct. It is expected to start shooting on April 15."
Oh man, that "Nailed" story sounds so over-the-top that this might actually turn out be a great movie. I see Biel's still on board. Not exactly the best actress around although I loved her in "The Illusionist".
Posted by Special K:
Do you think Jake is ready to handle Russell's bullying?
Spesh, what kind of director is Russel exactly? I know there have been comments about him over here in the past, I remember vaguely stories of fights that got a little too "physical" (maybe I'm wrong). Is he demanding in the same tradition as Fincher? Or into screaming matches, verbal abuse and so on?
I think that role in "Nailed" would be a GREAT showcase for Jake. Really great but Russell is a horrible bully. If he couldn't take Fincher (who actually liked him), then how is he going to take Russell, who was beyond vicious to Lily Tomlin. He was so nasty to the extras that George Clooney almost cleaned his clock.
Russell is notorious for not getting along with actors. Generally speaking, actors hate working with him.
Last year there was an incident where someone released a video on YouTube involving Lily Tomlin, during the I Heart Huckabees shoot, where she and Russell got into a major row.
Then there is the most infamous of all and that is the major fight between Russell and George Clooney while filming, "Three Kings." Russell was being a prick to some extras and even shoved one, and Clooney didn't like it too much and confronted him. Well, the two ended up punching each other and have hated each other ever since.
I dunno about Nailed. If Jake took the project I wonder if Reese had encouraged him. Ya know, she has such good taste in choosing movies like Penelope. *rolls eyes*
Nailed has the potential for a great role for Jake. Bubble Boy has been his only comedy. I think he is a natural born comedian and a dark comedy is a great way for him to get a more mature comedic role.
The ring!!!! Wow, what a great surprise to come home to after a crazy day at work, I hadn't checked in here all afternoon. I agree with TT Watcher about the ring possibly being connected to Heath and BBM, it was the first thing I thought of when I saw the picture.
And the difference between Austin & Sophia and Jake & Reese is that the former looks like two people who are old friends having fun together, while the latter looks like two people trudging through another day at the office. I wonder what else Austin is up to in NY.
I think that blue ring is connected to Brokeback Mountain too and that's why Austin has it on again--to pay tribute to Heath. (I'm just speculating; I could be completely off).
Wow, glad to see the ring back too! I think it's a double tribute as well, to Heath, and always to the movie that meant so much to them. :) Still devastated about Heath.
I wasn't sure how I felt about Nailed when I first heard about it, but then I read it described a different way, and I thought it could have the potential to be very good - the lecherous jerk of a congressman who ultimately comes around to seeing things from the woman's point of view, whatever the road it was he took to get there initially. I think it could be good if done well.
I also see it didn't take long for someone to reveal themselves earlier. Give 'em enough rope and delete! ;)
Sorry Gossip Girl but your blanket statement of Jake's choice in women is really pathetic. I consider Natalie Portman, who Jake is friends with, very intelligent, a good actress and cute. Among other women he has been seen with.
Had E news on in the background while reading the comments tonight. They just said Jake was at the memorial. They also said 300 people not 1000. Don't know what or who to believe anymore. Certainly not OK Mag though.
I think Austin looks great, gorgeous really. Maybe I am just so happy to see him again. Love his hair. Big improvement over the poodle cut. Notice he has his phone in his hand in case you know who needs to talk to him.
As to Matt, he's looking good too. Lost some weight. I think he was an early Jake lover. Jake mentions him several times in the Darko commentary. Haven't we all found excuses to say our lovers name out loud when the relationship was new. He stopped being Jake's PA by the time DAY After came along. Obviously they are all good friends regardless.
Heath was not a big fan of Austin's and Austin really not Heath's, why does the reappearance of the ring have to mean it was about BBM. It might be back because he's showing off that he's taken and still with Jake.
Jesssaying, I don't intend to be mean because I've enjoyed reading your posts but I think you've been reading a few too many fanfics lately. Unless of course, you have personal information. I really can't see why either would dislike one another. (I doubt poor Heath would have even cared to tell you the truth).
Why does the reappearance of the ring have to mean it was about BBM.
It doesn't Jesssaying, we're jess saying too. Why? I'll tell ya why:
1. It's strikingly similar to the one that Randy Quaid wore in BBM.
2. Some of us believe that Jake gave it to Austin, because the film's subject meant so much to him, and may have been similar to what they may have experienced themselves.
3. Austin has been quoted as saying it's his favorite movie, but stops just short of saying why. ;)
4. It's a coincidence that it's being worn openly again at the time of Heath's death.
5. You don't have to love someone entirely to feel sorrow over their death.
6. Some of us think it's a given that Austin is taken and still with Jake! :)
When did he say that?? When?? Martin Henderson was a good friend of his and he stil hasn't achieved marquee stardom--and it didn't stop Heath from being friends with him. I can't see Heath talking about Jake's other friends like that. It doesn't make any sense. From what I read, Heath was very sweet but painfully shy. And that was one of many reasons as to why he turned to drugs. (And I'm not condoning this).
Agree re the ring. Who cares why it's back. The important fact is that it is back and being worn in plain view. And that means it was never really gone, just put aside temporarily. Stake your claim Austin! Now we just need more Austin pics. Like Jake, he is growing into his looks. I think his height and his extremely handsome face have cost him some roles.
With regard to the OK article (which I'm assuming is total rubbish).. how on earth would anyone ever know the contents of Jake's telephone conversations just after hearing news of Heath's death. Assuming that such a conversation ever took place, either his phone's being bugged or Reese blabs about something that personal and private to her 'friends' who then relay it to a tabloid. It beggars belief.
Don't believe any tabloid or gossip columnist. That's a pretty good rule to follow. They all lie and they all have their own agendas.
As for Heath, I hate when people talk about him like he was this druggie. He was on anti-anxiety and sleeping pills. He wasn't taking them to get high. He seems to have had a serious sleep disorder. He was probably taking more of them than he should have and it killed him. Don't disparage his character that way.
AMEN tabloid sceptic. The article is total BS. They couldn't possibly know what Jake has talked about with anyone after hearing the news. Please. And enough of this shit!
I guess no matter what the story is about, every article, even ones about how Jake is coping with death, has to end up confirming his eternal love for Reese and how exceptional she is. Funny how none of the pictures of them together seem to back up this story.
Good luck Kirsten. Here is someone who it seems saw what happened to Heath and realised it could happen to anyone.
Sophia Bush is smokin and if Austin does have to go out with a woman (real or beard) this is one divorcee I don't mind.
Thanks for IDing Matt Frost. I'm looking at him thinking I know that guy and then I came back here and someone had answered the puzzle for me.
Part of me still wonders if Austin hasn't taken up residence in NY. He really seems to like that town.
The Heath stuff is sad and whilst I agree it's newsworthy, I'm not impressed with how the Aussie media is handling it. This morning they were going on and on about how Heath must have been so stressed out to have taken those tablets. I agree but the problem is they are saying this to a nation that is part in drought, part in flood damage, just seen our 11th interest rate rise in a short time the day before, 900 odd people just losing their jobs in my home town cause a car factory shut down etc etc. We know all about stress. There would be people almost killing themselves working several jobs to keep their houses. The fallout from the flood is going to be years worth. You know. They need to put it in perspective and remember that whilst a sad death, it is one man.
Michelle and Matilda are in Australia for Heath's funeral:

I feel I need to address the detective work in the last thread. I saw it just now. My personal feeling is that if Person A puts him or herself out there online posting on multiple sites and Person B is able to put the pieces together and figure out Person A's identity and expose it, there is nothing wrong with that. Person A chose to put him or herself out there. However, if enough of you feel that we should delete that post, then let us know via e-mail and we will. It must be e-mail, not posting here. It is too easy for one person to multiple post. I want to get a true sense of how many of you feel the post should be deleted. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWDW and Gyllenbabble have the same topic in their current posts. WDW's went up first, but Gyllenbabble set the time on their post so it would look like they put theirs up first. Looks like petty thievery is alive and well.
ReplyDeleteI don't really want to give our troll too much attention, but I do find it interesting that his real name is probably Jack. His posts are very similar (though toned down) to those of another Jack we all know so well. His last name also interested me - remove a few letters and you have the perfect moniker for him.
ReplyDeleteEnough of that. I love the link in the previous thread about TDAT and the Jake and Austin pairing in it. :)
... but Gyllenbabble set the time on their post so it would look like they put theirs up first
ReplyDeleteThat's beyond pathetic.
I wanted to talk to Wicked first before addressing the issue of the detective work or removing it. Both of us are very mindful of censorship.
ReplyDeleteLike Wicked said, please email us and let us know, so that we can get a true sense of feeling from OMG.
On the Gyllenbabble - WDW controversy. Shame on them. It takes time, hard work and creativity to do something everyday. There are many times that I look at WDW's, Spooky2th's or Hjulia's and go, why didn't I think of that. You respect the hard work that goes into it you don't make it look like you came up with it first.
Its possible WDW and GB both went with a current released Jake news topic. Unless theres obvuios plagurism?
ReplyDeleteIts possible WDW and GB both went with a current released Jake news topic. Unless theres obvuios plagurism?
ReplyDeleteGyllenbabble set the time on their post for 12:22 pm, but that post was not up until between 4 and 5 pm yesterday. That's what I question. If the time was correct, I would be more inclined to think that maybe they had both come up with the same idea.
Just saw the labels put on this topic: 'Get down and get Funky' lol
ReplyDeleteYea, thats what I'll punch in when I'm looking for this again!!
Re the controversy-c'mon lets all dance and it'll be better.
This song makes me want to go grocery shopping. The store I go to plays nothing but '70s music. A while back, they were told they could only play the corporate CDs, but people complained so vigorously that they went back to the '70s!
ReplyDeleteI noticed that WDW dropped OMG from her links.
ReplyDeleteWhenever there's new news about Jake/Austin I expect to see similar posts on all of the fan sites. My main interest in the SWSX film festival is that Jake has a vested interest in one of the films, the festival is taking place in Austin, TX and Austinite Austin is a major film buff.
ReplyDeleteI will not claim to be a good dancer, far from it. But I love to dance because it always makes me feel better. I put on the funk soul disco house techno whatever, if it's got a good beat I'm going to dance to it.
ReplyDeleteI noticed that WDW dropped OMG from her links. When did that happen?
ReplyDeleteWhen and why?
Phonyspoon discussions on OMG are probably too much for WDW party line.
"Heath Ledger Funeral – Michelle Williams Arrives, Will Jake Gyllenhaal?
ReplyDelete...Michelle was expected to show up to Heath's funeral but many are wondering whether Heath's friend (and godfather of Matilda) Jake Gyllenhaal will attend as well.
Since Heath's death, friends of Gyllenhaal have expressed the actor's turmoil but Jake has not yet released a statement and has reportedly not made an appearance at any of the memorial services held for his good friend.
The private funeral is expected to take place sometime this week."

ReplyDeleteOh Spesh, I'm glad I'm not the only one - as much as I love music, I'm not a good dancer. But I still love dancing - some music just demands that you get up and dance, and won't take no for an answer! Thanks for the KC this morning. ;)
I noticed that WDW dropped OMG from her links.
ReplyDeleteWDW tries very hard to focus on Jake's films and career, not his personal life. Obviously, our focus here is different.
Heath's toxicity report is out...check TMZ
ReplyDelete'The NYC medical examiner has finished the toxicology report following the death of Heath Ledger, and has just ruled that the actor's death was caused by "acute intoxication by the combined effects of oxycodone, hydrocodone, diazepam, temazepam, alprazolam, and doxylamine."
ReplyDeleteThe NYPD found five medications in Ledger's apartment after his death, including anti-anxiety medications alprazolam (Xanax), diazepam (Valium) and Lorazepam (Ativan). The sleeping medication zopiclone (Lunesta) and the sedative temazepam (Restoril) -- which is used by people with "debilitating insomnia" -- were also found. Doxylamine is an antihistamine used in the short-term treatment of insomnia.'
Poor Heath, I can imagine a cycle of not getting any relief (sleep, rest) and then adding to what he had already taken.
ReplyDeleteFor some reason I have a hard time picturing Austin dancing to disco/tech; I picture him as more of a sway to the rock music kind of guy. I could also see him in a tux doing some Fred Astaire-type moves.
ReplyDeleteSad about Heath :-(
Yes, so sad. The poor man. :'(
ReplyDeleteI suspect Mr. Nichols work it on the dance floor with the right inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI hope that the findings on Heath bring closure giving his family and friends some relief to their grief.
ReplyDeleteQuick escape at lunch time.
ReplyDeleteAbout Heath: I suspect he didn't get all these medications from the same doctor, probably not even in the same state or country. The sad thing is even if there was such a thing as an electronic medical file accessible throughout the world, as an HW celeb he could have gotten hold of any drug of his choice, whether legal or not, if he wanted too. Yes, very sad indeed.
On a happier note, I love KC and the Sunshine Band even though this band always seemed to use three chords and five words in each and every one of their songs. :D
And about Austin on the dance floor:
ReplyDeleteDo you think he would go down on it for a languorous slow dance?
Boy, what I would not give to see Jake and Austin on the dance floor. You just know they have a good time together.
ReplyDeleteRe the Jack troll, he made some comments the other day on babble about how everyone knows who he is. I don't think he gives a rat's ass about Jake. He just wants attention for himself. Glad you are deleting his comments.
Beautiful statement made by Heath's dad re the tox report. His family all seem like wonderful people. I am hoping this allows everyone to move forward. Intersting that the E gossip story says Jake was not at any memorials. Why bloggers make up things is beyond me, but then again someone tried to pose as Heath's father. Go figure.
I love KC and the Sunshine Band even though this band always seemed to use three chords and five words in each and every one of their songs.
ReplyDeleteAnd your problem with that is, what? :)
then again someone tried to pose as Heath's father.
Has anybody heard anything about whether or not they've caught that guy or have any leads?
Ask someone in the addiction community what they think happened to Heath and they will not say he just wanted to sleep. Of course, it's all speculation, but some of us have seen this before. Doesn't make it any less sad or any easier to take.
ReplyDeleteHey Frenchy! Here's another great three chord band for you- the Ramones!
ReplyDeleteThe same message, sans dumb and idiot. Let it stand. Politics matters, even in fan-space.
ReplyDelete-------
"Austin likes Obama for the same reason a lot of other people like him--because he stands for change. After 8 years of a Clinton and 12 of the Bushes, I think a lot of people would prefer to not have 8 more years of another Clinton."
If Nichols likes Obama for that reason, then he's even less sophisticated than I thought he was five minutes ago.
Obama is vapor-ware. He is not a genuine change-agent at all.
His policies are very similar to those of Hillary and Edwards. In fact, if they weren't, he wouldn't be a first-tier candidate. A real policy change-agent would be Kucinich, but where is he now? Not surpringingly, Obama wants all of the rhetorical benefits of calling himself a change-agent, without paying any of the costs.
Obama is not going to change the tone of politics. He went down to SC and kissed up to an incredibly anti-gay black minister in order to lock up more of the black vote. And when he said that 'Hillary is not good for our people', he was race-baiting, plain and simple. None of this sounds like change to me : it sounds like good old-fashioned political whoredom. More of the same.
So, what's left? If it isn't his policies or his approach to politics, why is Obama calling himself a change agent?
Two reasons : he's the anti-Hillary, and he's a respectable, black man. Now, I happen to like Hillary, and I'm going to vote for her, so the first rationale falls apart. And as for the second reason, I would be hard-pressed, even under the best of circumstances, to vote for someone just because they are a respectable black man. My Dad was a respectable black man, and he wasn't qualified to be president either. But this is hardly the best of circumstances : we're going into a recession, we're fighting two wars, we have the worst international reputation since WWII when we were forced to join because of Pearl Harbor, the deficit is going through the roof, global warming is an international crisis, the dollar is falling, the stock market is schizophrenic and I haven't even mentioned Iran yet. And you're telling me that I should put some fourth-rate neophyte, a man who has done nothing of consequence in the US Senate for four years, and never faced any significant republican opposition, into the White House just because he's a respectable black man?
If Nichols is poorly informed enough to drink the Obama-koolaid, then I hope that he stays away from Jake. Jake separated himself from one unsophisticated starlet three years ago (Kirsten). He shouldn't get involved with another one now.
Oh, and by the way, I don't know who this Jack troll is, but it's not me.
ReplyDeleteI defend Bauhaus' right to speak! Speaking of Bauhaus (and bands) I knew there would come a day when you would play a Peter Murphy song and I would miss it. I was out of town and I saw that you played "Cuts You Up", one of my Peter Murphy faves, and I wasn't here to enjoy it! :)
ReplyDeleteThe Ramones were all about attitude, and KC and the Sunshine Band is all about dancin' and a little bit of funk, no need to be complicated! ;)
Bauhaus can speak but why here? I think its u know who. Delete it please. If only because its a political rant that has nothing to do with todays blog post and does not belong here. Its a waste of space.
ReplyDeleteI love KC and the Sunshine Band even though this band always seemed to use three chords and five words in each and every one of their songs.
ReplyDeleteAnd your problem with that is, what? :)
Actually my main problem with KC was that I could never rely on them to improve my English vocabulary. For that purpose I had to turn to the British group Genesis' flowery lyrics - now that's what I'd called words aplenty!
Ha, the Ramones, good old days... Another group which was pretty cheap with words and chords was the German trio Kraftwerk. Remember them? Trans-Europe-Express, Trans-Europe-Express, Trans-Europe-Express, etc. during 20 minutes or so I think. :0
Yes, I do remember Kraftwerk - ;)
ReplyDeleteBauhaus sounds *just* like Jeff to me, but I'm still swooning at the near-description of Austin as an "unsophisticated starlet". Rowwrrr! :)
ReplyDeleteI've felt so sad all day about Heath. It's so pointless.
Fahr'n fahr'n fahr'n an die autobahn ... :)
ReplyDeleteLondon, truth to tell, that's what got me as well - the "unsophisticated starlet" description of Austi! ;) For that alone, we'll put Bauhaus Jack on probation. But if he or she misbehaves, Aus! I loved Kraftwerk!
ReplyDeleteI'm very distressed about Heath too. :(
Fahr'n fahr'n fahr'n an die autobahn ... :)
ReplyDeleteDanke London!
Oh man gotta get back to work now, Tschüss everybody!
I love KC and like some of Kraftwerk's music, but the Ramones never really did anything for me, although I can appreciate their influence on music.
ReplyDeleteBut back to dancing, I can also see Austin doing some Texas swing moves or two-stepping. And I'm sure he could do a Santa hat dance if the right person asked him to.
Does that mean George Clooney is also an unsophisticated starlet??
ReplyDeletef Nichols is poorly informed enough to drink the Obama-koolaid, then I hope that he stays away from Jake. Jake separated himself from one unsophisticated starlet three years ago (Kirsten). He shouldn't get involved with another one now."
ReplyDeleteWho are you calling an unsophisticated starlet??????????? Put 'em up, pal! I'm going to clock you into 2010.
Obama all the way!! I demand a recount in the California primary! The Hillaryites dabbled in corruption.
Austin, your last sentence is patently untrue.
ReplyDeleteAustin, I bet that you look good on the dance floor! ;)
ReplyDelete[enuff with the politics, sheesh]
ReplyDeleteI think tall guys usaully dont dance good. they dont know what to do with their long arms lol.
if Austin disco danced with his arms flailing every which way he'd poke someones eye out. the boy better kept those lethal weapons in his pockets.
ReplyDeleteI've got moves you've never seen. And won't see unless you spot me and my man out at a club. And don't tell Ted if you do, last time he wrote it up.
ReplyDeleteI don't flail my arms anywhere. These long arms are wrapped around my blue eyed boy and my hands are full. ; )
Listen to me crackle pop, Hillaryites stole the California election. There was NO way she got the youth vote or any other vote. Obama was on his way to a clean sweep (okay, there's New York, New Jersey, Oklahoma--but those people are not representative of America, they're not bellwether states like Missouri or Ohio) and then this shit happened in California. No way was this a clean election. No way.
ReplyDeleteObama rules!! Our next president of the U.S. Look out, Hillie.
And the kid can sing! :)
ReplyDeleteWill the real Austin stand up?
ReplyDeleteAustin, I propose you out your youthful energy into fighting the conservative status quo, rather than accusing (wrongly) those on the same side as yourself. Obama was nNOT heading towards a clean CA sweep (he was never polled as winning) and to accuse Hillary Clinton of voter corruption is ridiculous. I suggest you check out http://www.blackboxvoting.org/ if you really want to stop voter fraud, because I assure you the Republicans will once again stop at nothing to win, and playing into their soundbytes re. Clinton is just sophomoric. I hope you have your ass out there supporting WHOEVER is the more progressive candidate. I certain will. And I hope either Obama or Clinton, whoever loses, will to.
ReplyDeleteIt's not a case of petty "winners/losers" anymore, it's the case of a globally warming/dying planet, a potential Iran war, and yet another seat on the already conservative-crowded Supreme Court.
wicked and Spesh - thanxs for nothing on leaving that reprinted rant you deleted from yesterday but not today. its just gonna get worse. methinks 'austin' is 'bauhaus' is 'jp' is boorassa. more ways than one.
ReplyDeleteBauhaus? Never listen to them.
ReplyDeleteI am the real deal. All you wanna be's step off.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Austi Spumanti!
ReplyDeleteSorry to break this up but...apparently the feds are getting involved with Heath's death. As a result of the autopsy results, they are now investigating as to how he got multiple prescription drugs.

ReplyDeleteThe Ring is back baby.
ReplyDeleteThe Ring is back. But the rest...
ReplyDeleteSophia is a good friend. They both went to USC together. And she was in the magical shoes pictures of Austin on the beach with Jake's shoes somehow in the picture.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, but Austin looks wrecked. He looked much better when he was deleted from the Sophia Bush/Jake G beach photoshopped pictures.
ReplyDeleteAnd I like Austin's looks. He looks like he's been non-stop drinking for six months. I guess that's what the closet will do to you.
the comments on the unknown party goer..'what's she doin with the her hands?' 'he looks like he's getting a bad handjob' rofl
ReplyDeleteChecked the source, there is one more
ReplyDeletepic
Jake's look wrecked too. Could there really be a baby tile keeping them up?
ReplyDeleteWhat is Sophia doing? And Austin looks beyond shit-faced. If this happened yesterday, he must have had a WHALE of a hangover this morning.
ReplyDeleteThat's Matthew Frost with him in the other picture.
ReplyDeleteThe ring!!
ReplyDeleteThe comments at ONTD are predictably hilarious :)
ReplyDeleteAustin loves fashion-related gigs.
Ahhh, the infamous Matthew Katz-Frost. You're right...
ReplyDeleteWow...
BTW, Austin looks wonderful in the shot with Matthew Frost and completely pie-eyed with Sophia.
That's me--above.
ReplyDeleteI love how Austin looks in the Matthew Katz-Frost photo. And I love the hair and the ring.
ReplyDeleteYeah, either non-stop drinking over a matter of weeks, OR - I'll grant you I've seen this look in only one other scenario - the parent of a newborn.
ReplyDeleteJake's good friend / sometime assistant Matthew Katz-Frost?
ReplyDeleteWas going to say he looks way better in the MKF photo. I love his new hair *
ReplyDeleteI'm going to go out on a limb and say it. Jake and Austin are still together. They have a kid together. Jake is currently bearding to protect the newborn from press invasion.
ReplyDeleteHere's the larger version of the first photo from the source.
ReplyDeleteis matt frost the guy who was in the x17 or tmz vid a while back outside Jake's house when Jake was saying bye to some old people? this matt frost looks like he was in the background hanging with someone who looked like reese but was thot to be another blonde assistamt. anyone remember?
ReplyDeleteNo, Matt Frost is a filmmaker himself.
ReplyDeleteno, the blonde GIRL was thot to be the asst. i was asking if this Matt Frost was one of the guys with Jake outside his house in the vid. sure looks like it if I remember right. does anyone remember the vid?
ReplyDeletebtw Matt Frost was a crew member on Donnie Darko and Jake's asst in Moonlight mile.
ReplyDeleteNo one brought it up at the time, lightbulb.
ReplyDeleteSome people think that Matt is one of Ted's prime Toothy sources.
ReplyDeleteCrackle, what is Sophia doing with her hands? If she's giving him a hand job, it looks like he's getting a pretty bad one based on his expression (he looks so polluted).
ReplyDeletewicked and Spesh - thanxs for nothing on leaving that reprinted rant you deleted from yesterday but not today. its just gonna get worse. methinks 'austin' is 'bauhaus' is 'jp' is boorassa. more ways than one.
ReplyDeleteI told Bauhaus yesterday that I would have let the comment stand if he/she had not used insults such as "idiot" and "dumb" to refer to people. Rest assured, we WILL be keeping an eye on this. I don't want to go around deleting people. I am not interested in turning into the J&A censorship blog.
Nice to see the Ring again. :)
It looks like she's sitting on his lap/knee, and now is pushing drunkenly at one of his legs.
ReplyDeleteMatthew Katz-Frost was Jake's P.A. on at least three films...in addition to the two mentioned above, he was also listed in the credits for TDAT as P.A.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it look like a really great party? I like the idea of Austin the hipster. He also still manages to looks completely fantastic even when completely wrecked, as does Sophia Bush.
ReplyDeleteAnd its nice to see him rocking the ring. A nice mid-week treat all round.
he also goes by plain Matthew Frost and once made a film with Jake in it
ReplyDeleteAlso, it looks a lot more fun than any coffee and shopping date with Reese could ever be.

ReplyDeleteMatthew Frost & Kirsten Dunst paparazzi pics
Interesting comments:
"I work in the industry and happen to know that guy. He's a friend of Jake Gyllenhaal's who was with him in London recently during the Baftas. I saw him at an afterparty there. Don't know why he's with Dunst as he's definitely part of Jake's coterie."
"That is Matthew Frost, an independant director who has made a couple of short films. He is not solely the friend of Jake Gyllenhaal, he is the friend of Kirsten Dunst, Austin Nichols, Samantha Ronson and a host of other entertainers. He is not dating Kirsten Dunst. Birds of a feather flock together and that's all I am going to say."
"Matthew Frost was in London with Jake at the Baftas? It's been a while since I saw any pics of Jake and Matthew together that I forgot about him. Glad to hear he still hanging with Jake."

ReplyDeletehttp://www.nobody.fr/director.php?k=4
LOL at revealing all on Matthew Frost. Seems like Austin is having a blast with old friends. He looks totally wasted in both pictures and amazingly fantastic and stylish at the same time. Glad to see the ring back.
ReplyDeleteAn observation: based on Just Jared pics Sophia has been hitting all the parties lately.
I am really beginning to believe that all of Hollywood is caught up in an immense bearding arrangement.
ReplyDeleteMia Maestro - kissing Penelope Cruz (almost undeniably gay) in recent video. Penelope formerly bearded for Orlando Bloom (an ex "boyfriend" of Kirsten Dunst's). Kirsten, also heavily rumored to prefer women (a particularly well-founded affair was with her director Sophia Coppola) dated Jake Gyllenhaal(heavily rumored to be gay). Now, let's not forget that Jake's personal assistant on many films has been Matthew Frost (pictured recently with Jake's rumored boyfriend, Austin Nichols), or two of Jake's rumored "girlfriends" - Samantha Ronson (almost certainly gay) and Mia Maestro (also rumored to be lesbian) - and so we go back to the beginning of this circle.
As they have done for decades, Hollywood gays/lesbians have been paired up like a merry-go-round. One of them comes out and the whole thing crashes to the ground.
THAT is what the above quoted poster meant by "birds of a fetaher".
If you want to see who's gay in Hollywood, look no further than the repeat-beards (usually lesbian) themselves.
An interesting starting point would be to see who NPH or the guy from Grey's Anatomy or David Hyde Pierce or Tammie from Popular (Melissa E's wife) were officially paired up with.
Frost, Nichols, Dunst, Ronson, people Jake is no longer seen with back when he was interesting.
ReplyDeleteThere should be previous party pics on that cobra site of Austin.
Gay, gay, bi, lesbian. That's why he's no longer seen with them.
ReplyDeleteThe jacket looks very familiar and the scarf does too Ebony. I think the shirt Austin was wearing in the Obama video looks very similar to something of Jake's. But then don't all friends share clothes?
ReplyDelete: )
I wonder if they hit the Marc Jacob's Marc by Marc show last night. Looking at his throwback mod take on men's suits in the pics on New York Magazine this morning, I really thought it was Austin's look. And what a small world if he did, since Marc and his bf were at Kate Hudson's Halloween party that Jeese went to.
Come on boafi, you don't know why Jake isn't seen with them. He is seen with Rufus W. still. I also don't think he was romantically linked to Samantha Ronson because she was an out lesbian at the time.
ReplyDelete? if you find Jake "uninteresting" why are you here?
Thanks Special for the cute pictures of Jake shaking his cute booty on Ellen.
Austin and Sophia look like they are together.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone heard any such rumors? This is new to me.
P.S. Bourassa and bauhaus are definitely one in the same. They write the same, they insult others the same. It's funny how Bourassa is busted and suddenly bauhaus returns with a vengence.
Hey guys, Heath's death and the DEA's investigation into it (why he had so many prescription drugs) was the lead story on the local NYC news. The DEA is subpoenaing medical records and NYPD files.
ReplyDeleteAustin and Sophia aren't together. They're longtime friends - in fact when Sophia Bush broke up with her husband, she was linked without her approval to both Jake and Austin - she made some comment like "If I have to be around guys at all, those two are the guys I want to be around."
ReplyDeleteThen later, when AUstin flirted with bearding during John from Cincinatti promotion, he made a comment about having dated Sophia Bush in the past (which she had actually lied about and denied herself).
So no, if anything, this photo is being used to promote Austin as "straight", but the truth is they are old good friends who went to school together.
Maybe Austin has that ring back on in homage to Heath especially if as people suspected, that ring is a replica of what Randy Quaid wore in Brokeback Mountain (a film Austin loved).
ReplyDeleteboafi.. I don't think this photo is being used to promote anything other than Austin was at what looks like a pretty good party and an old friend sat on his lap. Good on you Sophia I say, I think most people would do the same if they were in here position.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe Austin is wearing that ring as a visual Jake link, since he's wearing a shirt. Just a wink and nudge to all those who know, a shout out to say "Yup, despite Reeke, I'm still here!"
ReplyDeleteSophia didn't just break up with her husband!
ReplyDeleteThey broke up like four years ago. She's had another serious relationship since then, with Jon something-or-other. They broke up nearly a year ago.
She's definitely single, and Austin definitely has his arm around her and she definitely has her hands on his lap.
Seriously guys, and I hope you guys don't call me a troll or anything because i'm not, I don't think Jake and Austin are together.
Maybe once, but not now and not for a while.
Heath's death and the DEA's investigation into it (why he had so many prescription drugs) was the lead story on the local NYC news. The DEA is subpoenaing medical records and NYPD files.
ReplyDeleteWhen I heard about all the different prescriptions found in his system, I thought there might be an investigation. If one doctor gave Heath prescriptions for all those meds, that person's head is going to roll.
Austin and Sophia look like they are together. Has anyone heard any such rumors?
ReplyDeletePosted by Broadwayfan, Nov 23, 2007
"I will never forget when Lainey ran a blind item about Sophia Bush, about how Chad Michael Murray cheated her shortly after they got married and what a rat he was, bla bla bla.
But then Lainey continued on by saying that the pain Sophia felt is nothing next to the pain she felt upon learning that her first post Chad love interest was gay as glitter. So let me get this straight, Austin (who Lainey was referring to) is gay as glitter but NOT JAKE!! OH NO! NOT HIM!! NO NO NO!!!
The woman is on drugs."
Meg I wonder if you would say the same if a woman not Reese) was sitting on Jake's lap. I am sure you would have some little sarcastic comment about his trying to appear straight.
ReplyDeleteI think Sophie just looks like she's enjoying sitting in her old chum's lap and warming her hands (and why not) :D
ReplyDeleteI like the wild thought, wild thought!
siaso..just because you sit on someone's lap doesn't mean you have to marry them (nor does it make you pregnant). Its actually quite a common occurance at parties where alcoholic beverages are being served.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, even though I think Sophia Bush once described Austin as gay as a goose, if they are together, way to go Austin, she looks like fun, is very stylish and also rather sexy (unlike someone else we can all think of eh).
However, I'd put them down as being just friends.. actually in the other photo with Austin in that Matthew bloke also has his arm round Austin, does that mean they're dating too.
apologies.. it was gay as glitter, i stand corrected Lainey.
ReplyDeleteHow come Austin gets a "way to go Austin" if he is seen with a woman but Jake (before Reese) got hell whenever he was even seen walking with someone including Sophia?
ReplyDeleteWhen did Jake get hell for walking with Sophia? We always knew Austin was there too.
ReplyDeletePoor, dear Heath, it didn't have to happen. :'((( I felt sure his death was an accident, but to have it confirmed can't help but bring another level of sorrow. That LA Times interview snippit had me in floods of tears again. He encapsulated himself beautifully there and the essence and perspective he had will be deeply missed.
ReplyDeleteWhat better way to insure no unwanted and inappropriate grabby hands during a party that finds you in a slight alternated state of awareness than sitting on one lap you KNOW will not be interested in more than what passes between good friends?
ReplyDeleteOr maybe he and Sophia are together.
ReplyDeletePossibility?
The people on the website these photos were posted at seem to think so.
Maybe our wildest fantasies regarding Jake and Austin are just those, fantasies.

Star is reporting Kiki is in rehab.
ReplyDeleteStar: Kirsten Dunst in Rehab
Do you think Jake is ready to handle Russell's bullying?
ReplyDeleteThat Jake and Austin do their thing in private, that's what, "Old Friend."
ReplyDeleteOh, and since Austin was also pictured with Matt Frost, I suppose they are obviously dating also. Just using your photographic logic here.
What can a reasonable person deduce from this?
ReplyDeleteJeff is back.
I hope Kiki will get the help she needs.
ReplyDeleteJeff is back.
ReplyDeleteJeff is gone just that quickly. Please don't respond to him.

ReplyDeleteI deleted it not because of a difference in opinions on Jake/Austin/whatever, but the uncalled comments on Wicked's character. That is not acceptable.
ReplyDelete6:55, the people on that website know less than we do. So we can't really ditch our opinion in favour of theirs.

ReplyDeleteI'm new here but if my opinion means anything for what its worth I wish you guys would delete anything and each and every post this boor puts out. he just wants to argue about anythuing. delete delete delete. enough slaps in the face and he wont show up anymore. reading this blog is fun but when i have to see stuff like this it's booring. I'm gone for now because of his posts. Call me when its fun again.

ReplyDeleteI deleted Jeff's information from the last post. I want him to stay out of here, and I think that will help. We'll see. Might have to moderate comments for a while.
ReplyDeleteThank you Wicked.
ReplyDeleteI have a favor to ask to all of you guys. Is it possible to ignore that Jeff guy? Really ignore him? Each time he shows up here there's a string of comments about him that only feed his ego. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWow, the Ring is back. Austin looks wasted but seems to have a lot of fun. My guess is he was wise enough not to drive home this time.
Glad to know Kiki is getting help. I couldn't believe it when her rep said she was fine a couple of days ago. This comes after Mendes who got into rehab too not long ago. I wonder if Heath's passing had some trickle effect on these guys or maybe on their friends who suddenly realized that you can die doing drugs.
Heath's family's latest statement was beautiful but I doubt that tox report will bring them any kind of closure. That list of meds screams of a person who was severely distressed either physically, psychologically or both. I hope the feds find the assholes who gave him all that legal shit.
That's all good Wicked. So I guess my request is no longer necessary. :)

ReplyDeleteI've been pleading for people to ignore him for a while now. He WILL be deleted, so if you respond to him your posts won't make sense. Please don't respond to him.
Frenchy theres nothing wrong with those meds. I think: He prolly got them from at least 2 different doctors, maybe 1 in US other in London or whrever. Heath was prolly asked by all doctors what meds he was taking and he most likely said 'none'. so you really cant blame the prescriber if they get wrong or incomplete info from the patient.

ReplyDeleteYou're quite right Plain Truth. Will try to think before posting next time. :) I guess that laconic yet terribly telling list of meds just made me emotional. I imagine him alone in that empty apartment trying to get some kind, any kind of relief and just finding none and it breaks my heart.
I forgot, he prolly got them from different pharmacies in different countries that were not linked to know which meds he was on either.
ReplyDeleteDoctors have no way to know what meds you're on. They rely on you to tell them.
ReplyDeleteIts okay Frenchy. :* At least his death was prolly peaceful, dying in his sleep. There's a lot worse ways to go.
ReplyDelete^^While they are not entirely at fault, I still think physicians are a bit too free prescribing medications. They are well aware of the abuse and addictive potential of all of these types of drugs, and the predictable human behavior of what could be a potential addict, and I wish they'd give more of an assessment before just throwing a prescription at someone - it's just a shame. It's just devastating.

ReplyDeleteYou're right there too. Got to keep that in mind. :*
Are American Doctors Over-Prescribing Medication?
ReplyDeleteNot that patients dont dr. shop, but I thought this was an interesting article. I read that Anna Nicole's one dr. prescribed eleven different medications for her!
Sophia Bush was/is dating Jon Foster, Austin's co-star in The Informers.
ReplyDeleteOkay--just took a look at this week's rags. Most are focusing on Michelle, how she's coping. In Touch has an article about how Mary Kate tried to reach out to Michelle after Heath's death but got the cold shoulder because Michelle thinks she contributed to Heath's downfall.
ReplyDeleteThen one of the rags has an article on how Heath's women--Michelle, Naomi Watts, Helena C., Lohan (gag), etc. are coping.
Then the coup de grace--oh this is a beauty. OK rag has an article about how Jake is grieving. It said he hasn't appeared at the memorials because he wants to grieve privately and that after he found out Heath died, he called Reese, went on and on about how much he loved her and how she changed his life; he also spoke to his sister for a long while who got worried about him. And at one point, he sounded "groggy and mumbled"--and was losing it. His parents thought about flying to the Brothers set so he wouldn't be alone but Jake wanted to grieve by himself (whatever--he wanted to tough it out himself). The article ended by saying that even though Jake is suffering (oh-he also felt guilty for not being there for Heath because he didn't know how bad it had gotten for him), he does know he has people to lean on when it gets bad.
(Rolling my eyes)....
Oy...
So many comments, so little time!

Oh man, that "Nailed" story sounds so over-the-top that this might actually turn out be a great movie. I see Biel's still on board. Not exactly the best actress around although I loved her in "The Illusionist".

Do you think Jake is ready to handle Russell's bullying?
Spesh, what kind of director is Russel exactly? I know there have been comments about him over here in the past, I remember vaguely stories of fights that got a little too "physical" (maybe I'm wrong). Is he demanding in the same tradition as Fincher? Or into screaming matches, verbal abuse and so on?
I never thought we would see "the ring" again. WOW
ReplyDeleteHey (((Joker)))! :)
ReplyDeleteI think that role in "Nailed" would be a GREAT showcase for Jake. Really great but Russell is a horrible bully. If he couldn't take Fincher (who actually liked him), then how is he going to take Russell, who was beyond vicious to Lily Tomlin. He was so nasty to the extras that George Clooney almost cleaned his clock.
ReplyDeleteRussell is notorious for not getting along with actors. Generally speaking, actors hate working with him.
ReplyDeleteLast year there was an incident where someone released a video on YouTube involving Lily Tomlin, during the I Heart Huckabees shoot, where she and Russell got into a major row.
Then there is the most infamous of all and that is the major fight between Russell and George Clooney while filming, "Three Kings." Russell was being a prick to some extras and even shoved one, and Clooney didn't like it too much and confronted him. Well, the two ended up punching each other and have hated each other ever since.
Thanks for the info on Russel guys...
ReplyDeleteWell Jake, get ready to channel the tough guy within again... and this time mind your teeth dude. ;)
Nite everybody.
I dunno about Nailed. If Jake took the project I wonder if Reese had encouraged him. Ya know, she has such good taste in choosing movies like Penelope. *rolls eyes*
ReplyDeleteNailed has the potential for a great role for Jake. Bubble Boy has been his only comedy. I think he is a natural born comedian and a dark comedy is a great way for him to get a more mature comedic role.
ReplyDeleteThe ring!!!! Wow, what a great surprise to come home to after a crazy day at work, I hadn't checked in here all afternoon. I agree with TT Watcher about the ring possibly being connected to Heath and BBM, it was the first thing I thought of when I saw the picture.
ReplyDeleteAnd the difference between Austin & Sophia and Jake & Reese is that the former looks like two people who are old friends having fun together, while the latter looks like two people trudging through another day at the office. I wonder what else Austin is up to in NY.
Austin has FAR better taste in women, doesn't he? Sophia is a cutie and very sweet.
ReplyDeleteI think that blue ring is connected to Brokeback Mountain too and that's why Austin has it on again--to pay tribute to Heath. (I'm just speculating; I could be completely off).
ReplyDeleteAnd interesting that he's with Matt Katz-Frost.
Wow, glad to see the ring back too! I think it's a double tribute as well, to Heath, and always to the movie that meant so much to them. :) Still devastated about Heath.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure how I felt about Nailed when I first heard about it, but then I read it described a different way, and I thought it could have the potential to be very good - the lecherous jerk of a congressman who ultimately comes around to seeing things from the woman's point of view, whatever the road it was he took to get there initially. I think it could be good if done well.
I also see it didn't take long for someone to reveal themselves earlier. Give 'em enough rope and delete! ;)
Sorry Gossip Girl but your blanket statement of Jake's choice in women is really pathetic. I consider Natalie Portman, who Jake is friends with, very intelligent, a good actress and cute. Among other women he has been seen with.
ReplyDeleteHad E news on in the background while reading the comments tonight. They just said Jake was at the memorial. They also said 300 people not 1000. Don't know what or who to believe anymore. Certainly not OK Mag though.
ReplyDeleteI think Austin looks great, gorgeous really. Maybe I am just so happy to see him again. Love his hair. Big improvement over the poodle cut. Notice he has his phone in his hand in case you know who needs to talk to him.
As to Matt, he's looking good too. Lost some weight. I think he was an early Jake lover. Jake mentions him several times in the Darko commentary. Haven't we all found excuses to say our lovers name out loud when the relationship was new. He stopped being Jake's PA by the time DAY After came along. Obviously they are all good friends regardless.
Heath was not a big fan of Austin's and Austin really not Heath's, why does the reappearance of the ring have to mean it was about BBM. It might be back because he's showing off that he's taken and still with Jake.
ReplyDeleteSqueee! I just had to get that out of my system. If Austin gets any hotter my computer may melt. Interesting take M on Matthew and Jake.
ReplyDeleteJesssaying, I don't intend to be mean because I've enjoyed reading your posts but I think you've been reading a few too many fanfics lately. Unless of course, you have personal information. I really can't see why either would dislike one another. (I doubt poor Heath would have even cared to tell you the truth).
ReplyDeleteWhy does the reappearance of the ring have to mean it was about BBM.
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't Jesssaying, we're jess saying too. Why? I'll tell ya why:
1. It's strikingly similar to the one that Randy Quaid wore in BBM.
2. Some of us believe that Jake gave it to Austin, because the film's subject meant so much to him, and may have been similar to what they may have experienced themselves.
3. Austin has been quoted as saying it's his favorite movie, but stops just short of saying why. ;)
4. It's a coincidence that it's being worn openly again at the time of Heath's death.
5. You don't have to love someone entirely to feel sorrow over their death.
6. Some of us think it's a given that Austin is taken and still with Jake! :)
You're right about Natalie. I stand corrected. But she was never really a girlfriend of Jake's, was she?
ReplyDeleteHeath did refer Austin as an extra talking about TDAT. That was not fanfic.
ReplyDeleteWhen did he say that?? When?? Martin Henderson was a good friend of his and he stil hasn't achieved marquee stardom--and it didn't stop Heath from being friends with him. I can't see Heath talking about Jake's other friends like that. It doesn't make any sense. From what I read, Heath was very sweet but painfully shy. And that was one of many reasons as to why he turned to drugs. (And I'm not condoning this).
ReplyDeleteWhy are we arguing why he's wearing it, shouldn't we be happy it's back. Isn't that enough?
ReplyDeleteAgree re the ring. Who cares why it's back. The important fact is that it is back and being worn in plain view. And that means it was never really gone, just put aside temporarily. Stake your claim Austin! Now we just need more Austin pics. Like Jake, he is growing into his looks. I think his height and his extremely handsome face have cost him some roles.
ReplyDeleteWith regard to the OK article (which I'm assuming is total rubbish).. how on earth would anyone ever know the contents of Jake's telephone conversations just after hearing news of Heath's death. Assuming that such a conversation ever took place, either his phone's being bugged or Reese blabs about something that personal and private to her 'friends' who then relay it to a tabloid. It beggars belief.
ReplyDeleteDon't believe any tabloid or gossip columnist. That's a pretty good rule to follow. They all lie and they all have their own agendas.
ReplyDeleteAs for Heath, I hate when people talk about him like he was this druggie. He was on anti-anxiety and sleeping pills. He wasn't taking them to get high. He seems to have had a serious sleep disorder. He was probably taking more of them than he should have and it killed him. Don't disparage his character that way.
AMEN tabloid sceptic. The article is total BS. They couldn't possibly know what Jake has talked about with anyone after hearing the news. Please. And enough of this shit!
ReplyDeleteI guess no matter what the story is about, every article, even ones about how Jake is coping with death, has to end up confirming his eternal love for Reese and how exceptional she is. Funny how none of the pictures of them together seem to back up this story.
Also I'm glad to hear Kiki is getting help for her problems.
ReplyDeleteGood luck Kirsten. Here is someone who it seems saw what happened to Heath and realised it could happen to anyone.
ReplyDeleteSophia Bush is smokin and if Austin does have to go out with a woman (real or beard) this is one divorcee I don't mind.
Thanks for IDing Matt Frost. I'm looking at him thinking I know that guy and then I came back here and someone had answered the puzzle for me.
Part of me still wonders if Austin hasn't taken up residence in NY. He really seems to like that town.
The Heath stuff is sad and whilst I agree it's newsworthy, I'm not impressed with how the Aussie media is handling it.
This morning they were going on and on about how Heath must have been so stressed out to have taken those tablets.
I agree but the problem is they are saying this to a nation that is part in drought, part in flood damage, just seen our 11th interest rate rise in a short time the day before, 900 odd people just losing their jobs in my home town cause a car factory shut down etc etc. We know all about stress. There would be people almost killing themselves working several jobs to keep their houses. The fallout from the flood is going to be years worth. You know. They need to put it in perspective and remember that whilst a sad death, it is one man.
