Happy New Year! It is Year 4706 also know as the Year of the Rat. Legend has it that in ancient times, Buddha asked all the animals to meet him on Chinese New Year. Twelve came, and Buddha named a year after each one. He announced that the people born in each animal's year would have some of that animal's personality. Those born in rat years tend to be leaders, pioneers, and conquerors.
But enough of rats. Let's talk about monkeys. Two to be exact.
People born in the Year of the Monkey are the erratic geniuses of the cycle. Clever, skillful, and flexible, they are remarkably inventive and original and can solve the most difficult problems with ease. There are few fields in which Monkey people wouldn't be successful but they have a disconcerting habit of being too agreeable. They want to do things now, and if they cannot get started immediately, they become discouraged and sometimes leave their projects. Although good at making decisions, they tend to look down on others. Having common sense, Monkey people have a deep desire for knowledge and have excellent memories. Monkey people are strong willed but their anger cools quickly.
Those born in 1980 have metal as their element. They are determined, self-reliant and forceful. They enjoy the good life and all it has to offer -- luxury, comfort and freedom, especially. They're like a reclusive film star: They want the acclaim, but also want to be left alone. They create their own success, building their desired destiny with single-minded focus. Others look up to them in awe of your commanding, confident presence. Metal Monkeys are determined and ambitious and as a result, they’re often successful. Metal Monkeys are loyal to both their employers and their partners.
And for the monkeys during the year of the rat? "The Monkey, of the 12 signs, is the one most likely to have the best year. Fortune smiles upon you with your big Rat friend in charge."
Every day is a new start. So here's to ringing in a great year ahead.

Recalling next February 11 are just 2 years by the lakers-love, seems a century. Glad in this complicated period of my life to review the ring symbol of love
Jake on the cover of the new(?) Italian Vanity Fair
http://www.style.it/cont/vanity-fair/home-vanity-fair.asp
"In a new interview for the Italian Vanity Fair, he said that thanks to Brokeback he now has a good friend, Heath. Interview was before Heath's death."

Italian Vanity Fair
Small part translated interview:
Jake Gyllenhaal:
When you success burns
"The fame is dangerous. I have seen many players end badly. And I know that in difficult times helps only those who really want good '. So Jake spoke three months ago. Understand how can feel now that Heath Ledger, his best friend, no more?

TAGS: Jake Gyllenhaal, Vanity Fair, interviews, Reese Witherspoon, Heath Ledger, bisexuality
... In 2005 he made three films of great impact and success. Do not feel the pressure of expectations? Not afraid to make mistakes?
"I felt the most pressure at the beginning, when I did not know well who I was, what I would have done. Today I am just happy to have so many different opportunities. In my life, as in my career, I am living an important moment. Why should I stop? ".
As important factor also Reese Witherspoon?
"Funny, no? I really Reese we know each other a long time ago, we are friends, then do this film together and think that we are all engaged.
He tries to make me believe that you are just friends?
(he pants, looks up at the sky, turn red before answering with a lie)
"Yes.
In this important moment of his career and his life, what counts love? "The love in life is always crucial and I are certainly much more at the heart of their careers. Look I am speaking of love in general, not just that for a woman ".
... Even Brokeback Mountain was a film about love. Between two men, however. At many of the sconsigliarono accept that script, avvisandola that could damage his career. Two years later we can say that the effect was exactly the opposite.
"... Sa what is the funny thing? Nobody ever came to tell me if I frightened interpret the idea of a CIA agent. I accepted several controversial characters in my career, but only when it was a gay, I have pointed out that rischiavo, because the public might think that I was really gay.
... I have read that his parents when he was small, allowed to go to the test but not accept the party in the case had taken. It seems somewhat 'cruel as a method of education.
"That was love. Having a child who asks about making a film is like having someone who wants permission to go to a party where everyone drink and take drugs. They knew what it was, and they wanted to protect myself.
It arrived the same very young to success.
"And I think has gone very well. Becoming famous early can be dangerous.I frequent actors always, I viewed many live success so wrong and evil end. I am lucky because I have a family that helped me not to commit false steps. The only people who can help you are those around you in difficult times, what you really want good, not merely tell.
And sometimes not even that enough. A Heath Ledger is not enough
Thanks for reporting
who'sthat,
just send back my husband to buy vanity! They are forced to stay at home, unfortunately, this interview (if true) seems very ambiguous ... This in the ring again are all positive news! We lacked! Finally!
I hope he didn't object too much! :)
Thank you for the translation Giusi. I am posting one from WDW that is a clearer translation of part of the article.
WDW:
"Forgive this translation, it's mine and poor, all mistakes are mine and certainly not Jake's."
'Becoming famous early is dangerous. I have frequently seen actors who have had suuccessful lives come to a bad end. I'm lucky becaue I have a family that helped me to avoid making the wrong steps. The only people who can help you are those who are around you in difficult times.' But as the article concludes, aware of what has happened to
Heath, sometimes this is not enough.
Elsewhere, Jake discusses the politics of acting and says that, although he admires George Clooney and Sean Penn, that's not for him: 'I would like to be considered for what I am, with my own thoughts and my own priorities.' Jake talks about how much he enjoyed philosphy at school and how having a Jewish mother and a Christian father made him open to the appeal of Buddhism, which he studied at Columbia. It allowed Jake to break free of a 'cage of rigid rules' and it opened his mind.
Having politely refused to discuss a relationship with Reese ('Are you trying to tell me that you're just friends?' asks the interviewer), Jake discusses love: 'Love is always fundamental to life and to me it's certainly at the heart of my career. But I'm speaking about love in general, not just about the love for one woman.'
'I think that Brokeback Mountain has been the most important experience of my career, which has opened many doors. And you know what's funny? Nobody ever asked me if I was frightened to play a CIA agent. I have taken on serious, controversial characters in my career but only when I played a gay guy was it suggested this might be 'risky', because the public might think I was really gay.'
Jake says that people may not want to speak out for fear of being made a meal of by the public, 'but I grew up in an environment where so many were gay and had no need to hide. Fortunately, the world is evolving: already, homosexuality is much more accepted in my generation. I hope that the prejudices will be overcome soon.'
"Jake also discusses his appearance on SNL and the dedication of his opening number to the fans of Brokeback. Jake says that the song title was suggested by his press officer. Jake also enthuses about Italian food, a favourite amongst all his family, and jokes that cappuccino is served for Italian interviewers but the waiter has already lined up the beer for the waiting German interviewer."
Seeing that ring again makes me think that it will be a good year. :)
And I have to agree with those who think that Austin, like Jake, has really grown into his looks.
I don't know why some people think that Austin and Heath didn't like one another. Let's not confuse the fights that went on between the virtuals with reality.
Things that make me go hmmm:
Austin in NY
with the ring
with mutual Jake friends (as lap-sitting is NOT a definite sign of a relationship unless you're 14 years old).
Interesting.
What is Sophia Bush doing with Austin Nichols?
One of the comments:
"Your minds are in the gutter.
She’s just looking for change in the sofa."
translation of the first part of the Italian Vanity Fair interview:
Q: In 2005 you made three films of great impact and success. Do you feel the pressure of expectations? Are you afraid of making mistakes?
JG: I felt the most pressure at the beginning, when I did not know well who I was, or what to do. Today I feel happy to have so many different opportunities. I am living an important moment in my life and in my career. Why should I stop?
Q: Is Reese Witherspoon a crucial factor in this important moment?
JG: It’s funny, isn’t it? Reese and I have known each other for a long time, we are friends, then we make this film together and everybody thinks we are engaged.
Q: Are you trying to make me believe you are only friends?
JG: (He fumes, looks up the sky, turns red before answering with a lie) Yes.
Q: I will reformulate the question. In this important moment of your career and your life, how much love counts?
JG: Love in life is always fundamental and it’s at the heart of my career. But I am speaking about love in general, not only the love for a woman.
Q: Also Brokeback Mountain was a film about love. Between two men. At that time, many people advised you against accepting that script, because it could have damaged your career. After two years, we can say that the effect has been exactly the opposite.
JG: Do you know what is funny? Nobody has ever told me I should be afraid of playing a CIA agent. I have accepted several controversial characters in my career, but only when it is about a gay role it is considered a risk, because the public could think that I was indeed gay.
Thank you It!
Saw last nights E! News and they say this week's People has Jake as one of the attendees at Heath's memorial last weekend. They also say Michelle and Matilda were there with Sean Penn, Ben Harper, etc. Comes out tomorrow.
"Ledger's father thanked guests and made special mention of the actor's former partner Michelle Williams and their two-year-old daughter Matilda - who he explained had both not attended the service."
http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,23152624-661,00.html
Old Info, I have read that before. I haven't read the new People article but maybe there was a smaller gathering right after the big memorial that Michelle did attend? Don't know but I was just reporting what was said on E!
Just a quick visit to say hello and thank you for Giusi and all the others for the translations which I'll read tonight.
Love Peter Gabriel!
I don't know why some people think that Austin and Heath didn't like one another. Let's not confuse the fights that went on between the virtuals with reality.
Word BV.
Have a great day everybody!
Thanks for the info Info. :)
Jake should fire his PR people ASAP.
Sorry Old Info but the "Jake should fire his PR" is getting old. Then so should Michelle because they have the same PR people.
Getting old? Very much so - he should have fired them long ago.
Thanks to all for the translations! We really appreciate it.
Monkey see monkey do? Austin looks great in that jacket and scarf, but I hope he hasn't thrown out all the quirky items in his wardrobe.
Ah well, he is wearing a huge turquoise ring to keep the outfit interesting.
I was hoping Austin stopped going to those skanky cobrasnake sponsered parties. I know he likes to party (David Milch's words) but cobra is just vile.
I don't think he will lose the quirky out of him. This is someone who likes collecting braces/suspenders and antique watches, odd chapeaus, has a thing for vests and throw back ties and who can go from madras to winged tie dye shirts with out blinking. Come on the guy wore rubber rain boots with a button down and levis -- the quirky won't leave.
What is cobrasnake about?
It looks like Austin was there with friends.
I don't think there's anything wrong with letting loose once in awhile--as long as it doesn't veer into poor Heath territory.
It was the interviewer's interjection about Jake's answer to the Reese/friends question telling 'a lie', no?
If we are to take Jake by what he says, then I believe he has answered that question many times. And it's always been no.
Remember, he also said he didn't want to answer that Telegraph(?) reporter's question because he didn't wish to lie.
So, there you have it. Please, try to spin out of this one, Reekers.
What other cobrasnake parties has Austin gone to?
And everyone thought that it was so cute and gay that Austin was wearing a candy necklace:
http://www.thecommunityofconcern.org/parenting/faqs.asp
I thought ectasy when I saw that necklace. Betwen that, his involvement with cobrasnake parties, Milch ( a recovering addict, I know not fair) and the Luke Pery on the set , long rumored to be a drug/pot seller to the stars in between gigs.
Not saying he is a druggie, just a likes to party, it's just a bit sobering Heath, reading about Kiki, Renfo, Sophia lokking more shit-faced than Austin who looked pretty shit-faced himself, after all that, still they continue.
I don't understand this:
Q: Are you trying to make me believe you are only friends?
JG: (He fumes, looks up the sky, turns red before answering with a lie) Yes.
How would the interviewer know he's lying? I think Jake turned red because he was mad, not blushing because he was lying.
This clinches it for me; J&R are not a couple; they are friends. He'd have no reason to hide or be cagey about Reese. As someone mentioned, if this magazine went to press in January, three months ago would be October.
question: that interview was done in Rome in October, probably the day before the Amore pics, that's why the interviewer calls it a lie, a lot has happened since then obviously. They have gone out of their way to make sure everyone knows that they are more than friends and including the kids as well.
cobrasnake is a nasty little pig that "sponsers" parties for up and coming indie bands in LA and NY, takes pictures of the events, i think he may DJ at them as well and he used to date an underage girl named Cora Kennedy who he still exploits on his site. Drugs are a big part of it of course.
I remember seeing Austin on that site last year when the cora kennedy/cobrasnake/jailbait shit hit the fan last year and was surprised. I don't know how long that creep keeps pics up of his events.
Or sooner than October since they put them out faster these days. 1 or 2 months at most.
So, Jake says that he and Reese are just friends and he says that love is really important in his life and that he isn't talking about the love to a woman here.
Does he really need to make it any clearer?
As for the interviewer adding that him confirming that he and Reese are just friends is a lie: Well, I'm assuming this interview was being edited after the Rome pics came out, so she could hardly say that he was telling the truth or else she might as well forget ever interviewing any of the people represented at CAA again.
Well, they could go further out of their way and say so publicly, and most of the interest would die down. They aren't doing that. I question that part of the translation as well (fuming, turning red, answering with a lie). That's a lot to deduce.
they did the amore pics the first 2 days they were there, before the press and the red carpet and all that. The pics were released 1 or 2 days after they left Rome.
Old interview, before the "official" bearding, a slip and squirm, instead of saying "no comment". Reese made the same comment about them being friends for a while. The interviewer says that he is lying because they saw the Rome pics, it doesn't look like they reference it in that article but that's what I assume.
Candy Necklaces=hiding ectasy tabs, I thought the same thing unfortunately when I 1st saw it.
Even if the interviewrer saw the Rome pics why does he say Jake is lying? I have gay male friends (i'm female) and we walk together like how J&R did in Rome and other places and hold hands and even kiss. Its affection but not sexual. I think Jake is a very affectionate person with his friends.
Even if the interviewrer saw the Rome pics why does he say Jake is lying?
Because Jake "turns red".
But people also turn red when they are mad. Maybe Jake was mad at getting asked the same question and being doubted all the time about his answer.
Not arguing. its all in what we and the intervierewer interprets I guess.
Stubburn: You should really stop cherry picking almost 4 month old interview translated from Italian. His quote is:
JG: Love in life is always fundamental and it’s at the heart of my career. But I am speaking about love in general, not only the love for a woman.
"not only"
You can't say he isn't talking about the love to a woman here becasue it's the same Jake gobbly gook we have been hearing for years.
Doesn't matter really does it if they did the pics before or after the PR stuff, when the arrived back in the States, they were photographed swapping spit at LAX, vacationing in Napa where they were pictured swapping spit in at a cafe, bonding with the kids, etc. Hardly the images you want out there if you were trying to say you are just friends, a simple yes or no wuld have done, the interviewer is frustrated and points out in the beggining of the article that he won't answer about Reese. Weather this was before or after the pics, who knows but they say right out that he is lying.
And speaking of lying, E and People now say that Jake attended the 2nd memorial???
I think Jake turned red because he was mad, not blushing because he was lying.
Why would he be mad?
I think Jake was embarrassed - he knew the interviewer will find out about (fake) Rome love fest in a few days.
The party where Austin was photographed was a Fashion week after-party. It was the Married to the MOB (fashion label), Colette (French boutique) and Jalouse (fashion magazine) at Beatrice Inn in NYC (Feb 5).
And speaking of lying, E and People now say that Jake attended the 2nd memorial???
People also says Michelle was at the second memorial, and Heath's father said she wasn't. Revisionist history.
Check out Spooky2th's Journal. She has another photo of Austin walking behind Sophia Bush.
"Outside of Heath Ledger’s family home, police have been stationed to keep media at bay.
Heath’s family will reportedly hold a wake on Saturday at a colonial-style restaurant on Cottesloe Beach, a favourite Heath haunt south of Perth.
Jake Gyllenhaal is expected to arrive tomorrow while Michelle Williams and daughter Matilda landed yesterday."

Heath Ledger Funeral – Jake Gyllenhaal Expected to Show
http://www.egossip.com/celebrity/heath-ledger-funeral-jake-gyllenhaal-expected-show-8820
Turning red is most usually associated with embarassment or being uncomfortable. Perhaps the question made Jake uncomfortable. And what's with all of the disparaging comments about Austin? I hate to say this, but children are the antithesis of romance for me - why all the to-do about bonding with kids? Any of the kissing pics have been very blurry and vague. Questionable at the very least.
I've tried to remain neutral about this, but that is so wonderful about Jake attending Heath's funeral. It will be beautiful for Heath. :)
If Jake was there than that blogger wasn't making up that Jake/Reese sighting then, right?
He is supposed to be attending the funeral, we will see how this is spun.
Party: i know all that, but cobrasleaze was there as either host or DJ, or else he wouldn't have posted the pics on his site.
Cobra has also been covering the fashion shows as well. Including the Marc by Marc show, as well as others.
Yes, cobra covers lots of different events. Someone is just trying to make Austin look bad.
If Jake was there than that blogger wasn't making up that Jake/Reese sighting then, right?
No.
Even if they where at the memorial her story is still ridiculous.
Forgot to say - Great post today, guys, and love Peter Gabriel too. Happy Chinese New Year! :)
It's pretty much been proven thru valid reports and by Heath's dads statement that Jake, Michelle and Matilda were not at the memorial. So it follows that the bloggers sighting of Jake and Reese at the memorial is ________ ?
If you can't figure out the answer then there's no hope for ya. sorry.
Yea, great post. Happy New Year!!!
So, Jake says that he and Reese are just friends and he says that love is really important in his life and that he isn't talking about the love to a woman here
yes stubb, to me that the phrase is more deserving of interest! Good translation, the cronist was free interpretation (lie about)
I think Jake is a very affectionate person with his friends...
oh yes... We know to what extent
If (and it's always been an if) the ring signifies something about Jake and Austin, then the terrible possibility that Austin IS actually sitting around waiting while Jake plays kissy-face with Reese for the cameras is raised. Much as I like Jaustin as a hot couple that is bizarre behaviour on Austin's part IMO.
Glad to read that Jake will be at the funeral. Is it possible that we're finally starting to get reliable info?
I had no idea who that cobrasomething was. What I do know is that drug use is rampant in the fashion world and is probably plentiful at any fashion party. I would never have made the ecstasy/candy necklace connection; all I knew about that drug was related to rave parties. I sincerely hope Austin has his own "use" in check.
I also hope we won't get another series of comments about those ridiculous blogger "sightings".
And finally I'm really pleased to say "Happy New Year! one more time. :)
the right answer is
"JG: Love in life is always fundamental and it’s at the heart of my career. But I am speaking about love in general, not only the love for a woman."
he talks about love in general,"not only" the love for a woman but(supposed) it exist!
i agree with max , i am perplex on austin's behaviour
i think it's the main reason why many don't believe in jaustin anymore
"then the terrible possibility that Austin IS actually sitting around waiting while Jake plays kissy-face with Reese for the cameras is raised."
I believe this to be the case.
Much as I like Jaustin as a hot couple that is bizarre behaviour on Austin's part IMO.
But Phonyspoon is NOT a full time job.

I still believe Jaustin is on and also that Austin is not a doormat. Therefore the bearding is done with one accord. Let's not forget they're both "in the business".
I concluded hour to read the full text of the interview vanity, it is very very very beautiful! There are bars brilliant, ironic, so many double meanings, the reporter describes it very well, our jake ... just as I saw myself! Let me translate mah ... But we would like Luke am sure that sonia, my Italian friend, will this interview on the heart with the scanner! I love this interview, I was warmed our hearts ...
Thanks Giusi! Say hello to Luca if you see him! :)
^it's a moot point - the ring, I mean. Can't prove it either way.
Thanks Guisi! Can't wait to read it. :)
Why would Jake be doing an interview at all?
It was promotion for Rendition, and as you may recall he and Reese were still denying a relationship at this point. They only "came out" after all the promotion was done.
Doesn't look like Austin is "sitting around waiting" to me. He seems to be out and about and in a great mood every time we see photos of him. Unfortunately, we can't say the same for Jake. If they're still together it's a joint decision. If they're not, I think Austin called it off and Jake turned to Reese on the rebound.
The interview is coming out now because Rendition is about to come out on DVD.
I find it interesting how something that is a positive thing has been spun so hard into something else.
You wanted to see Austin. Guess what you got it. He's out in public. But that's not either good enough, or it's not in the right context.
To be together does not mean joined at the hip. Austin has friends and so does Jake. Jake had to get back to work. I do think initially after Heath's death Austin was there for him, because that is what couples do for each other. But at some point you have to pick yourself up and get back the normalcy of your life. I think while tough Jake wanted to get back to work to get his mind off it. How do you know that he might go meet Austin in NYC after shooting is done with Brothers? They seem to like spending time in the city together.
Jake has to be allowed to move on with his life. Time does not stand still. It marches on. The same goes for Austin.
And the ring. How did something that everyone was looking for again turn into something that is used against them? I just don't understand. The things you want when you get it then seems to be the wrong thing or not enough. Them looking like they are wearing similar clothes, if some cases the sharing the same thing. Now is it about Austin his losing style. The candy necklace -- now a drug reference. Stop and look a minute. Look hard at today. How are all the positives turning into the negatives suddenly. I just don't get it.
How are all the positives turning into the negatives suddenly.
Really hard trolling, Jeese shoved down our throats, and Heath's death. I think these things have made so many people feel afraid to be happy about anything to do with the Jausty fandom. They're afraid something bad will happen, because that's what's been happening.
Some people are sheep. When the picture appeared of him wearing that candy necklace, the 1st thing I thought of was ectasy because that's what they wear to disguise the pills, it was never bought up here and I took that as either some were clueless regarding the current drug culture or they put on blinders.
No grwon man gay or strsight goes around wearing that unless he was into that, I was shocked to see the pic but then I realized that it was taken on the set of JFC between filming probably and he probably had no idea that it was going to be posted on a fan site. It was a good thing it wasn't circulated more widely.
It's none of my business what he does for shits and giggles but after Heath, his co-star, Renfo, Kiki in rehab, etc., it pained me to see him and Ms. Bush in that setting and you know they got totally wasted with the rest of the fashion/hipsetr crowd that cobra sleeze likes to pimp.
Why can't we try to find ONE positive thing. Just one. There are plenty there if you let be positives.
Wicked, I have to disagree with Jeese being shoved down our throats. No one is forcing those that constantly report back about the tabloid stories to read them. Yes they have been papped but people are obsessing way to much imo. Sure there isn't much Jausty news but that doesn't mean folks need to go on and on about Jeese or the tabloids.
Anyway, I agree with you Special.
The interview is already on IHeartJakeMedia.Com
I hope that someone can translate exactly, but the sweet words of Jake aimed at Heart before misfortune. Jake during the execution of Brothers who holds a photo of him and Heath, very sweet:)
I'm still not buying into the candy necklace thing. Austin is quirky enough to wear a candy necklace without it having anything to do with drugs. And going to the parties during fashion week in NYC is nothing out of the ordinary for anyone. There are a lot more photos posted on Spooky2th's journal of Austin and Sophia. He doesn't look wasted in any of them. And even if he was, what's the problem? He's taking a cab in NYC (see photos), he's not driving.
Hear, hear. I don't buy the drug association at all. And enough time has passed now that people are beginning to go on with their lives, but not ever forgetting Heath. Austin looks great in the photos, and the ring is back! And it's great that Jake may be going to Heath's funeral. These are postive things. :)
For gods sake, why does a man wearing a candy necklace have to be him hiding drugs?
Believe it or not, you can do things that normally only children would do, even when you're a grown-up.
He has a little niece and a nephew, maybe he got it from them. Or maybe he was just walking down the street and saw the necklace and he got some fond memories and decided on a whim to buy it.
Or maybe he just has a sense of humor and they were playing around on the set. He likes to do stuff like that, something you would know if you had ever bothered to watch some behind the scenes stuff of him.
Why does it so desperately need to be something bad?
Sure it could be drugs, but frankly there's nothing to indicate that it is.
Just because some of the posters here can't see themselves wearing a candy necklace, doesn't mean that everybody feels that way.
Just because he's looking tired and a little wasted in the new pics doesn't mean he's suddenly popping exctasy at every opportunity he can get.
And I don't think it's just Reeke that's making people do that. I still remember back before all this started there were interviews being released of both of them, where talked about each other endearingly ("the kid can sing") or where they talked about the love that is currently in their life (the interview Jake did during Zodiac promotion).
And even back then, no one cared one bit about that. Everybody was too hung up on critising Jake for something that several people told them was interpreted wrongly during translation.
And now the ring is back, the ring whose disappearance caused people to critisice both of them.
Call me crazy, but I thought people would be happy.
I'm sure we're being told it's just where he keeps his personal stash of cocain pretty soon.
It's just something that he obviously values a lot and that he most likely gor from Jake, so it's not important anyway, right?
And he and Jake have better put more effort into dividing their closets again, we wouldn't want Austin to accidently grab one of Jake's clothes again, or else he would lose his quirkyness.
Blimey.. two rather scrummy pics of Austin come out and according to some people he's suddenly he's either a doormat or a crazed drug fiend.
Excuse me but what a pile of crap.
I think its just our usual trolls getting their knickers in a twist because:
a) Austin is obviously still on this planet;
b) he's out with one of Jake's friends;
c) he's back wearing that tricky (not quite a casual accessory) ring; and
d) him and Sophia Bush manage to exude more sex appeal and general fabness in one photo than every Reeke photo put together.
Also seeing Austin out it just highlights how sad and miserable Jake's life must have become if he has really swapped nights of NYC fashion week with Austin for library visits, an exciting episode of Deal or no Deal and then bed at nine with Reese.
Personally I convinced (at least hope) that Reeke is the day job, couple of hours a week for a few months, its must be tedious but bearable (just).
I think Stubborn and I must be on the same wavelength, which is nice to know.
Keep your head in the sand if you want. I could link dozens of sites explaining the candy necklaces/ectasy link. If he wore it to be quirky then he would be seen wearing it more often, maybe he does under his shirt. I've seen that enough to know, believe me.
The photos of him and Sophia are of them arriving at the shindig so of course they are sober and i assume that they called a cab after.
I find it sad that you are getting all excited at the prospect of Jake going to the funeral, shouldn't that be something normal and expected, it does say a lot about his increasing shrill and deminishing online fandom.
Don't get too dissapointed: the rags and blogs are all saying "expected" or "should" instead of "will" be there. I'm sure Heath's parents are going to kep a lid on everything until it's over.
I smell a troll. We knew that a new photo of Austin with the ring on would bring them out again. The new tactic is to pretend concern for Austin while trying to make him look like a drug addict. It ain't working.
To Why?:
I find it sad that you are so bitter. We all know that it's because some of you don't like to see pics of Austin, and then with the ring on to boot, well, that just sends some of you right over the edge now, doesn't it.
How dare you comment on what we may or may not think of Jake's attending Heath's funeral. You don't know Jack, as usual. Some of us comment on it because we love Heath, and it's nice to see that others do too, what with all of the negativity and falsehoods some of you are spreading. It's nice to see the truth of the matter.
SpecialK,
At this point i'd settle for any photo of Jake and Austin together. Anything. Even them snearing at each other. Because honestly, that Matt guy could have been Austin's friend all along. Jake may have hung out with him through Austin in the past. I don't know of any sightings of Matt with Jake in the past year or so either. I haven't seen a photo (or even heard of any actual sighting) of Jake and Austin together in such a long time. It must be almost a year now. I have to be honest, the trolls are beginning to get to me. I consider myself a sensitive and intelligent human being. When these trolls come here and elsewhere and call me stupid or crazy or whatever and ask me for proof. What can I give them? I have nothing to give.
It's one thing to say that Jake and Austin don't have to be together every moment. It's another thing to actually have them together at all.
I'm so depressed about this, you don't even know. I'm beginning to lose hope that Jaustin exists, if it ever did at all.
I'm sorry, can you erase one of my posts. I double clicked by accident.
Thanks.
Nothing like beautiful pictures of Austin wearing the ring to stir up the hornets. I'm thrilled to see these pictures and to see Austin out having a good time. Love him for wearing the ring. Love him in the candy neclace too.
Wonder if Austin will be hitting Chinatown for a New Year's dinner, or perhaps one of the "fashionable" asian restaurants.
You know why does it have to be being totally over the top criticizing of Jake or Austin? Now Austin is losing his quirky style because he wears similar clothes to Jake? Frankly, I love when Jake wears the jacket and scarf. He looks totally sexy and fashionable. Why can't Austin? Lots of nasty accusing of Jake and everything he does. It's really awful. Taking blogger accounts and making negative judgments immediately. If he was there then who knows if he was telling a funny story about Heath? You know memorials can be sombre and they can have moments of remembering the persons life and finding solace in the humor. Not everyone deals with death in the same way but Jake sure is getting raked over the coals for it. Neither he or Austin deserve "fans" like some of you.
having just looked at the additional photos over on the Spooky site can I just say:
1. The jacket appears to actually be a coat, so I hate to break it to people but maybe the frayed tweedy number has been discarded (shame);
2. Austin's been partying for a few days, obviously squiring Sophia around town (lucky cow); and
3. the grey dress that Sophia is wearing is superb.
The blogger account was poorly written and gave the wrong impression. Some of us know better, however, and didn't beieve that ridiculous thing anyway, so nobody really made any serious judgement about Jake. Nothing for you to complain about now, is there?
And the true colors start showing.
Yes they did make lots of serious judgment of Jake and immediately said how awful he was, etc. Sure it sounded like a fake sighting but people sure got up in arms over it.
Trolls are getting crazier by the day.
For Conflicted:
I totally agree with you buddy. I totally understand what you are saying. I've been a lurker/poster here for a while now and I can't believe what this place has turned into. There are times I ask questions myself and have been accused of being a "troll," when i'm not. When did the people here become so jaded?
Personally, I don't think Austin and Jake are together anymore. I think there may have been a time when they were, although Ted's accounts no long do anything for me since he has been proven wrong so many times this past year, so who knows?
This goes to what 'get a grip' said, I hate how so many people here take so many cheap shots at Jake because he doesn't live up to their standards of him. Whether it's his relationship with Reese or his response to the death of Heath. These are literally the strangest "fans" I have ever seen of anyone.
They love him, but they hate him at the same time.
Is it any wonder that the rest of Jake's online fandom shuns the people on this site the way they do? At first I thought they were trolls too, just wanting to fight. But to read the nastiness of the comments targetted towards Jake after Heath died. That was just too much for me.
I don't need Jake to be gay to be a fan of his. Some of the things people write regarding Jaustin is funny and I enjoy reading it. But, unfortunately, I no longer believe that they are together. I don't think they've been together for a long time.
I smell Jack/Jeff talking to himself again. ;)
me too
Sorry for having contributed to the negative. I posted my personal worries without much thinking. Won't make the same mistake twice.
jack and the beanstalk,
I knew someone would say that. I was actually waiting for it. I actually brought that up in the post.
Here's an idea, we should set up some good old fashion Soviet-style "re-education" camps for us non-believers.
How does that sound to you jack and the beanstalk?
hey, you wouldn't think a turquoise ring could cause so much trouble, would you?
It's a good thing your "fandom" isn't as vast because if I saw that picture of Austin with that necklace floating around on one of the more popular blogs, i would have swiped it and had a field day with it.
I've seen those necklaces around the clubs and they sure are yummy!
hey, you wouldn't think a turquoise ring could cause so much trouble, would you?
It shows how much they really believe in Reeke. LOL!
True and recent candy necklace story- when Tom came to visit a couple weeks ago, we had to call AAA because he locked his keys in his car. Tom was wearing his candy necklace. The locksmith came to open the car and noticed it. He said he loved candy necklaces and asked where Tom got it. I told him I had gotten it for Tom at a drugstore, and that I had had a really hard time finding one. The locksmith said he was going to go out and get one for himself that day. I don't doubt that candy necklaces are part of the drug culture, but they are also just candy necklaces too. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.
Austin is a druggie?
That candy necklace is definitely part of the drug scene for those who frequent LA clubs.
First Heath, then Kiki, now Austin.
Do you guys think that Jake does drugs too?
no, I'm pretty sure Austin is a big enough boy, secure and happy within himself to enjoy 'partying' and then be able to get on with his life. Most people do actually, its what's known as having fun.
Where are there pictures of Austin with Fergie?
"Maybe that's why Jake broke up with Austin last year. He was into drugs."
You mean so that he could spend his summer with choirboy McBongo?
I'm getting hungry with all this talk about candy necklaces.
Another thing is just because you go to a party where there might be people doing drugs doesnt mean you do them too. I hang out with a few friends who experiment and do things like ecstasy at parties but I dont do any of it (and I'm not the only one in our crowd who doesnt do it), I only have a few drinks. So you cant assume Austin does drugs just because he's at a party where there might be some. Or if a picture of him in a children's candy necklace was taken of him. Jeez I'd hate to have some of you see me in a few pics and make your asinine judgements.
Seriously, would you all just stop feeding into broadwings little rants here?
They will continue to claim that it's about the necklace and not the ring, but ask yourself why all this suddenly comes now that the ring is back and not back when the necklace pic first came out or even when Austin was arrested.
Someone just really, really wants us to not talk about the ring being back or even Austin looking more like a new daddy than seriously wasted.
All the pics we have are from the 5th, which means that unless new pics show up, he was out exactly one night. That is not being on the party circuit for weeks as a certain someone would like us to believe.
omg.. Austin's drug use has reduced him to being some sort of degraded love servant to Sophia and Fergie.
Hang on..there's no way that's Fergie.. oh dear will have to think of another ridiculous scenario to insult Austin ('the crazed fiend') Nichols.
Maybe that's why Jake broke up with Austin last year. He was into drugs."
And let's not forget Jake's friendship with Robert Downey, Jr.
And our late but beloved Heath.
20something rising star out to a couple of parties/clubs while in NYC. Oh totally alcoholic and druggie. Give me a break. What did you do in your 20's? You went out and had a good time. We all do or did. Maybe Sophia invited him to come along since they have been long time friends and he is safe.
yea bwbb and just because people do them every once in a\while doesnt mean they are addicts.
I believe Austin is a new father. Seeing him like this has left no doubt in my mind.
Yay!

Now thats a video I wanna see!! :o
There are very few comments at Gyllenbabble today. Very few. Know why? They're all here, getting their panties in a wad because we've had Austin in the video and now the Fashion Week pics where he's wearing the Ring.
As I said before its amazing how much trouble a small (?) ring can cause. There's a phd thesis in all this somewhere I just can't figure out where (yet).
Austin looks cute
Austin looks good
Ain't nothin' negative goin' on apart from the average daytime temperature where I live.
Sing it, tb's!
THE RING.
:D
OT: Here are some very sweet shots of Ryan Phillipe and his son food shopping. Look at the hug Ryan gives his son. And yet we're supposed to think based on the rags, that Ryan's son prefers Jake to him!
http://www.flynetonline.com/2008/02/ryan-deacon-shop-for-dinner/
He is sweet with his kids.
Just adorable. And the rags have the nerve to suggest his kids, particularly his son, just WUV their uncle Jake to the point they'd rather be with him? Come on. Look at those pics. They're darling.
^^Very sweet - especially the cuddling ones. :)
Well if Ryan has the kids prepare yourself to see Reeke at Heath's funereal.
Unless Ryan has left daughter at home they are probably splitting time together.
Reese may go but it is a long way and would probably take 3 if not 4 days all round. A bit much if you didn't know Heath that well. I don't think there will be a large contingent at the family service and wake. They have managed to avoid the paps so far I can imagine they should manage for a while longer.
YEAH!
Pre-ordered JFC from Amazon today!
Now it's wait until April 3rd for the big and huge in Cass's camera.
(And Austy in a wet suit! WOOT!)
YEAH!
Pre-ordered JFC from Amazon today!
Stinkweed, I'm going right now to check if they have it on the Canadian site. :)
Mission accomplished! :D
Perth Newspaper says Jake is there No word if anyone is with him.
I'm inclined to believe this because it's a local newspaper.
Sniff.
Austin looks great. To suggest he does drugs is ludicrous. Look at his skin. The skin is the first sign of problems. He looks more trim too. He looks better than Jake does these days. Love the close up of the ring.
I hope Jake has elected to attend the wake. We will know soon enough. Apart from statement or no statement, when he looks back on his life 10 years from now, if he does not attend he will regret it deeply.
Andrea Peyser, a NY Post columnist, wrote a DAMNING editorial on Heath, calling him selfish and reckless, saying he had everything to live for and he threw it away. She also had some choice words for his Hollywood friends who "enabled, encouraged him and then covered it up."
http://www.nypost.com/seven/02072008/news/columnists/his_pals_are_guilty___and_so_was_he_701915.htm
Whatever, M. I think Jake looks fine and so does Austin. Even though there are drugs around the HW community and I don't doubt they have done some I don't think either has a serious drug problem.
I hope the reports of Jake in Perth are true.
They both have smoked pot and like to drink, especially in Austin's case but that's it pretty much.
From Variety:
Doug Hughes will direct "Farragut North”... “Jake Gyllenhaal was rumored to be interested in the lead role, but is now said to be no longer a possibility.”
http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117980441.html?categoryId=15&cs=1
Anyone who thinks Jake and Austin have never dabbled in drugs is very very naive
Anyone who thinks Heath Ledger only dabbled in legal drugs is also very very naive.
Anyone who thinks Heath Ledger didn't know that mixing those pills together was a bad idea is again very very naive.
Anyone who thinks Reese Witherspoon has never tried anything is..... you guessed it.
If Jake is actually in Australia, and feeling up to it, maybe he might pop over to the Eastern states and do some promotion for Rendition (it opens here on Valentine's Day)
I guess that could be a legit reason to bring Reese too.
Yay for the Year of the Rat. It's my year. Happy Chinese New Year to me.
I have to admit something. I'm not handing in my TB card but there is a couple that makes my heart aflutter more than Jaustin.
And that's AusBush. Sophia and Austin.
Bushels, surely ag :) They've had umpteen chances to be together. Might be a slow-burn thang like J&R, though :)
I hope Jake goes alone to Heath's service.
I'm not able to post at spooky2ths but I really think A is actually wearing steel toe-caps :) :)
Looks like it:

Farragut North
Production aims to begin perfs early this summer at a theater to be determined.
Jake Gyllenhaal was rumored to be interested in the lead role, but is now said to be no longer a possibility.
So it's going to be Nailed instead of Farragut North.
