It seemed like a perp walk outside the hotel yesterday. Leaving in front of the hotel in the rain on the street side, rather than leaving around the back at the service entrance.
Top Ten Reason to Leave the Hotel Out the front.
10. Driver got lost - GPS went down.
9. Needed to tip the doorman
8. SUV traffic jam in back of the hotel
7. Avon didn't call ( rim shot)
6. Wanted to pick up some gum and maybe some postcards.
5. Didn't steal the towels so we could this time.
4. Researching if New York wet pavement new Avon fragrance sensation
3. Someone just needed to walk through the lobby one more time.
2. Heads --service entrance Tails -- out the street.
And the number one reason ...

Poor Chris. I bet he's not too happy about being on E's homepage.

ReplyDeleteMarch 6, 2008 -- ARE overly-cute lovebirds Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon really that busy? An audience member at the Sunday matinee of "August Osage County" looked on in shock as the usually cuddly couple kept their heads down "texting on their BlackBerrys the entire time." It was probably good they "snuck out" at intermission - we're told the other Broadway theatergoers were "much more interested in watching them than the stage."
BUSTED!

ReplyDeleteIs America ready for a gay 'Idol'?
... we're told the other Broadway theatergoers were "much more interested in watching them than the stage.
ReplyDeleteGeez, do they really need to insult our intelligence?
Looks like you were right on the mark with your itinerary, special.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the article from MSMBC. May I just say that I find Danny Noriega totally adorable! And the kid can sing!
ReplyDeleteI love it. Busted indeed! If they were drawing attention it was probably because their screens were distracting. Nothing drives me crazier than to be stuck near someone who wants to text their way through a movie or play because the light from the screen is annoying in a dark theater.
ReplyDeleteI'm suprised E! used that picture with Chris in it.
While I do think they were at the play, I question the rest of the story. If other stories can be made up, then this one can be too.
ReplyDeleteWhy do I think it is legit?
ReplyDeleteIt's not that Page Six, ran the story but WHEN the story ran.
They ran the story after they knew they had left NYC. If they had ran it while they were still there, they could have done some more public canoodling to counter the story.
Holding it until after they left and make it the lead of the Page Six section ( NY Post online edition) speaks more than just the blurb.
They were obviously bored and left the play at intermission if that sighting is to be believed.
ReplyDeleteThat was Sunday matinee, they were spotted acording to Gawker that same day around 5:00 around 34th and 8th which means they never returned to the play.
Another report had them canoodling before the play started, canoodling/texting. etc, it's all rude and frowned upon during a play or movie, you would think they would know better. I bet they were texting their pals for dinner plans at Prune's that night.
As for the play I bet Avon threw in the tickets along with the hotel etc, thinking they would like to see the hottest play in NY, I guess not.
They are increasing coming across as self-entitled HW tools including the lame-ass hiding from the paps and leaving the hotel seperately, please.
PS: I think E was oblivious to Chris in the pic, probably thought that it was some random dude in the background, they didn't mention Jake and friend.
People magazine had a picture of Jake and Chris on their site last year under the caption Jake and friend have lunch in LA, previously they would cut Chris out.
While I do think they were at the play, I question the rest of the story.
ReplyDeleteOf course you do - they didn't even mention "they looked really in love"!
The previous description had them holding hands and kissing at the same play, so apparently they were doing both, just hope the juvenile display of affection happened before the play started and their little heads just couldn't understand the play pulled out their blackberries and then left like so many other couples (usually teenagers) do when I go to plays and movies.
ReplyDeleteHolding hands and kissing?
ReplyDeleteYeah, right - Jake couldn't be bothered to slow down and wait for her. LOL!
Um, excuse you, lol! I never said I didn't believe the story because it didn't say "they looked really in love"! Don't put words in my mouth.
ReplyDeleteWasn't it here that someone didn't believe they were at the play at all? Even though it was first posted on the E! website. As for Gawker, please we know there are fake sightings there all the time. And of course Page Six never gets anything wrong. *rolls eyes*
Sorry but many of you are sounding like the immature tools you accuse Jake of being.
You mean the staged pics from yesterday as they left the hotel??
ReplyDeleteThat was all planned, let the menfolk go ahead first to "deflect" the paps and have the fair lady walk behind them 3 steps like a 19th centuary Chinese peasant woman, same thing with the video from Sunday, in front opening the door then running to open the car door even though their driver could have done it.
The protective male or in yesterday's pics males. And they were not caught off guard by the paps since they have been hanging around for a few days.
They are both spoiled HW tools.
Sorry but many of you are sounding...
ReplyDeleteSpecial, Wicked - sorry for engaging the troll!
The protective male or in yesterday's pics males.
ReplyDeleteDon't be silly!
More video of Reeke at APC
ReplyDeleteReese has her sunglasses on inside the store!
Are going to have to turn the car around this early on the trip?
ReplyDeletedlisted has a list of the top 50 gay songs
ReplyDeleteNo Melissa?
Personally, I believe the heads down, texting (Jake probably texting Austin) over the kissing in public. Not just wishful thinking. Reese is so uptight, I've just never bought these public kissing sessions in the first place. Sounds too much like horny teenagers and something fangirls would float. I do think it was rude of them to do the texting while the play was on. Shocks me that Jake would do this since he has acted in plays himself.
ReplyDeleteCynthia Nixon right at home in gay relationship
ReplyDeleteAnother report had them canoodling before the play started, canoodling/texting. etc, it's all rude and frowned upon during a play or movie, you would think they would know better.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way, M - I never got that impression of him prior to the J&R era. I hate that his management seems to be "dumbing him down" to appeal to a certain demographic. That and conspicuous displays of consumption. J&R seem to bring out the worst in each other.
Bring back the Brokeback era! :(
"Shocks me that Jake would do this since he has acted in plays himself."
ReplyDeleteSeems alot of things about Jakes behavior is shocking these days..its almost like its a different person.
I don't know what to think anymore : (
It sounds like the play was set up as a part of a day long thing. That schedule was outrageously packed for a Sunday. It sounds like "you will go to the play, leave at intermission and head out for dinner." I do think Jake wanted to see the play, but seeing only half of it --what's the point. And I suspect he would have wanted to see it with someone else.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the texting was incoming too, letting them know where they were head to next, and the text outgoing to let people know that they were heading out soon and would meet the rest of the friends over at Prune.
Sometimes you do things to keep busy to avoid the person you don't want to talk to. We do it at the office when we shuffle through papers, check blackberries or look over at our computers to read emails.
That is so cool about Cynthia Nixon. I did not realize she'd been with her partner for 5 years.
ReplyDeleteIf we're lucky, maybe we'll get to see more of Austin on FNL.
ReplyDeletewicked, it sounds like one of those times where gay = gay men, not gay men & lesbians.
ReplyDeleteI have this awesome soundtrack CD (love those soundtracks) from the movie Boys on the Side that has Melissa, the Indigo girls, Joan Armitrading, Bonnie Raitt and other female singers on it singing about (what else?) relationships. One song reminds me of the JFC set "a coastal town, they forgot to close down..."
blue velvet, do you mean more episodes or more skin? :)
ReplyDeletetinhat, let's hope for more of both. ;)
ReplyDeletei love that Cynthia Nixon came out and is happy...good for her
ReplyDeleteI agree Special. Jake has mentioned going to musicals (Spring Awakening) and plays himself and we have had sightings of him at theatre on recent trips to NYC. I do think he tries to support theatre. I don't get that he would purposely be rude during a show.
ReplyDeleteVery cool about Cynthia Nixon, and Danny Noriega too.
ReplyDeleteAwwww, I just went to lunch and the radio had this song from Ghost was playing, and then Time of My Life. Was anything more beautiful than that scene with Demi? *sigh* I loved those movies. :'(
((((((((Patrick Swayze)))))))))
wicked, it sounds like one of those times where gay = gay men, not gay men & lesbians.
ReplyDeletek d and Sister Sledge were both on there.
Tinhat, that's Every Day is Like Sunday (Smiths) - I didn't know anyone else had recorded it!
ReplyDeletePoor Chris has been "ID'd" by someone on E! as Brandon Beemer from Days of our Lives :)
ReplyDeletelondon tb it probably is them, I have like no ear for music at all. there are other artists on that soundtrack than the ones I mentioned, including Whoopi Goldberg and Mary-Louise Parker singing a love song to each other -not so artistic, but with feeling :)
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful that Cynthia Nixon talked about her gf while in the middle of a press junket for Sex and the City. The comment I thought was interesting was how the press stopped chasing her after she stopped hiding her gf. Although I don't know how much she hid her, it was more a case of just not talking about her. I think it was pretty well-known in NY that she'd left her boyfriend for this woman.
ReplyDeleteThis is a bizarre but fascinating reference to Reese, Jake and Austin by Henry Waxman:
ReplyDelete"I understand this, under certain circumstances. Sometimes, when I'm watching the TV with my wife and "Access Hollywood" comes on, my wife will ask me, "Who are those two people?" and I'll pretend I don't know. Oh, I know that's Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon, and that my girl Spoon only got with Jake after being on the rebound from Ryan, and that Jake may be gay after being caught with Austin Nichols at a Lakers game the other week. I know this stuff. I read People when I go to the dermatologist's office. I just don't tell my wife I know because, well, it just seems a bit girly. If that makes me insecure, so be it."

Great find stk! Am I supposed to know who Henry Waxman is?
ReplyDeleteHenry Waxman - Member of the U.S. House of Representatives from California's 30th congressional district (West Hollywood, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills).
ReplyDeleteAlso one of the most influential liberal members of Congress.
Waxman is on the committee investigating the steroid scandal of Major League Baseball.
Wow, I am surprised that the rumors have reached that level, lol.
ReplyDeleteFrom now on, I'm going to adopt a simple rule when it comes to Jake - no pictures, no proof. I will give no creedence to unsubstantiated sightings and blurbs in trashy magazines. Until his next film comes out (don't hold your breath), his entire world is going to consist of fog and spin.
ReplyDeleteOn a less cynical note, I'm glad that we know - for certain - that he spent time with Chris, who is ever so predicably referred to on WDW as (merely) an 'old friend'.
My favorite quote from that Henry Waxman article-
ReplyDeleteBut I certainly wouldn't lie to Congress about Reese and Jake.
I am truly relieved to hear that!
I hate to keep pointing this out, but "voce" is not me, The Viva Voce Virus, nor is "vvv" or any variation of. Unless you see my authenticated name, I'm not posting.
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious about Waxman. And he certainly didn't find out about those Laker pictures reading People. This is going to keep me smiling all day. Not to mention the gasket pr must be blowing over this.
ReplyDeleteOT (or on topic for today's post) a bar in Brooklyn just opened with the name of Jakewalk. Unfortunately the name has a less than flattering association; it refers to the leg problems associated with heavy imbibers of bootleg alcohol during Prohibition.
The congressman's comment is highly amusing. In fact, the whole Jake and Reese show really is becoming a soap opera isn't it.
ReplyDeleteRe the texting in a theatre, I don't know what's acceptable in the US but in the UK using mobiles in the theatre is truly the ultimate faux pas. Well maybe apart from canoodling, so a bit of a double wammy for Reeke there.
In reality, and not to sound too uptight, both these actions are just disrepectful to both the performers and the other members of the audience. Jake and Reese may have got the tickets through Avon, but the other people in the audience had gone to see the play and had probably paid for those tickets with their own money. And, I'm pretty sure that Broadway tickets are not cheap. If I'd shelled out $40(?) to $80(?) (I'm basing these estimates on UK, non-London theatre tickets prices) I'd be a bit cheesed off if the person next to me was either necking their 'girlfriend' or texting their boyfriend. (I'd be even more pissed off if I had to sit next to old Reesy, but that just a personal thing).
It all just looks bad. I'm sure Jake's mother would have something to say about his behaviour.
Full price Broadway tickets run around $100.
ReplyDeleteAre those Harry Waxman comments for real or is it a spoof? I don't know anything about any of these people or that site and the idea of a politician talking about Jake and Austin and Reese is just totally surreal. If it is true, it's bloody hilarious!!
ReplyDeletethanks destiny, I sort of knew they'd be abit more pricy than theatres in Scotland (good though our theatres are).
ReplyDeleteI still can't get over the texting though. Even my nephews (all under 14) understand the basic concept that you turn your mobile phone off and try to concentrate on the play. Its not that difficult to grasp.
I don't know what it is, but people seem to think nothing of texting in NY, although it is worse at movies than at plays. With movies I figure people are just used to being at home and doing ten things at once. At the theater or concerts I kind of wonder if some of it isn't coming from people who go to these things just so they can say they did, and not because they're really interested. I always say something if the person is close enough to me to do so. People just don't see to get it when you complain about the light from these gadgets.
ReplyDeletethat's dreadful destiny.. at the cinema over here we get a funny orange sponsored advert, sort of telling you to switch off your phone. At the theatre or the opera you get a really stern sounding annoucement telling you the same. Actually you've done this before the announcement even comes on because i'd hate to see what an opera audience would do to someone who tried to use their phone.. there would be blood, believe me.
ReplyDeletecanoodling not tolerated during tosca either.
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm a longtime Broadway theatergoer (duh--look at my name) and texting is VERY frowned upon during performances. Cell phones are verboten--and some actors have stopped performances midway to reprimand obnoxious theatergoers who talk on phones. I'm sure it'll be a matter of time before the pre-show announcement tells audiences to turn off their Blackberries or else.
ReplyDeleteReese and Jake's behavior is inexcusably rude--not only to the actors onstage but to the people around them. I don't know how anyone even the gung-ho Reese/Jake lunatic fans can condone this.
I wonder if he visited Matilda.
It just galls me to no end that people can't even consider anyone but themselves and have to be asked to please not disturb someone, they are not able to realize that themselves. I think cell phones are a huge pain in the ass! I don't multitask if I'm at a movie or the theater, I'm there to escape, enjoy and totally immerse myself in the story. Very annoying. Or when they keep checking messages, or when they are yacking away and not paying attention while they are driving. Who really needs to be "on call" like that except for a dr., and I'll bet they even turn the dang things off to get some peace. I only use mine for emergencies or if I'm going to be late, or something. If you are that busy, have sick children, or whatever, stay home! ;)
ReplyDeleteI don't know how anyone even the gung-ho Reese/Jake lunatic fans can condone this.
ReplyDeleteThey don't believe that part of the sighting.
^^^ Reeke sighting without even they looked really in love? Totally unacceptable! lol
ReplyDeleteOnce I was in church when someone's cell phone rang. Rev. Joan smiled and said, "Aren't you gonna answer it?" That phone just rang and rang!
ReplyDeleteI will confess that during Rev. Rob's really boring political sermons, I have texted Tom. I can only do it when I'm alone in the pew and the Mrs. isn't there. She frowns on texting in church!
Oh dear.. do you think this is the sort of pr avon wanted when they stumped up for the tickets..

ReplyDeleteWow... I too want to know if this is legit! And I agree, that guy didn't learn everything he knows from People, that's for sure! :D
In cinemas over we get a warning on the screen to turn off you cells. I don't think they're mentioning Blackberries and the like yet but I rarely see people texting. In a theater, texting would be considered extraordinarily and I'm not sure the texter wouldn't get a warning from a usher.
If this Page 6 sighting is legit, I agree with Special: they probably attended that play as part of their required "love circuit". I can't see Jake nor Reese being that rude to other theater patrons. Wouldn't be surprised if the texting didn't last long and people around them were not really annoyed.
Correction above: "texting would be considered extraordinarily rude...
ReplyDeleteFidelio, that is a riot! I love the pic they chose too, it looks like J&R are saying, "What? Who, me?" LOL!!
ReplyDeleteyou just sound like you are finding anything Jake or Reese does so awfully horrible and unacceptable, and so "don't know how anyone even the gung-ho Reese/Jake lunatic fans can condone this" because you are simply pissed they were seen together at an event. Chill out. About time to grow up too. And if it is so absolutely freaking rude and awful I don't see why you are still wasting your precious time over Jake.
ReplyDelete^^Yeah, we're pretty much against bearding on principle! ;)

God would understand Wicked. He knows what Jake is putting us through. He is not real thrilled with reeke either. He is also probably thinking: How the heck did I mess up that chin".
Off to Florida tomorrow for two weeks. Maggie is going on vacation. Woof Woof!!!!
I will confess that during Rev. Rob's really boring political sermons, I have texted Tom.
ReplyDeleteOh the joy of unlimited texting packages! :D
Great news about Nixon. One less actor in the damn closet, whether glass, wood or concrete! :) :) And it would be so great if they had an openly gay contestant on Idol, particularly given the demographics reached by this show. :)
Thanks for the news BV, but I saw FNL would show on DirectTV? Not sure I'd be able to get it. :(
I read the Waxman article linked by Stk. Oh my... wonder what kind of reactions this will trigger. Is that http://deadspin.com/ site very popular?
Thanks for the news BV, but I saw FNL would show on DirectTV? Not sure I'd be able to get it. :(
ReplyDeleteFrenchy, you would get FNL if you get NBC. It would be a partnership deal where it would air on a DirecTV channel first and then on NBC.
A US Congressman knows about Jake and Austin. I see Waxman on TV a lot since I am a big political buff. He is very well respected.
ReplyDeleteAMAZIN! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!
That is pretty damn main stream.
Frenchy, you would get FNL if you get NBC. It would be a partnership deal where it would air on a DirecTV channel first and then on NBC.
ReplyDeleteWhoopee!
re texting in a theater. sure they would get a warning but prolly during the next intermission (can't you see an usher walking in, getting their attention and asking them to stop texting, right when the play is on? No, it would be done later). but then Reeke left at the intermission. on their own accord, from embarrassment at being warned or because they foigured it wasnt worth attending the play if they couldn't text during it? - who knows.
ReplyDeleteeven IF they werent texting, in my opinion I think its rude to the actors and production crew to leave a play at intermission (unless for emergency, which it wasn't, they went to dinner). I go to plays all the time & even if i hate it I still watch it to the end out of respect to the people who worked on it and because theres always something to be learned.
Great post 'LumberJake' The guy travels lite: 1 backpack not 20 LV cases. But I guess its easy when all he takes is 3 pants, 3 shirts and 1 pr shoes. I dunno if wearing the same clothes day after day after day is little boy cute, Howard Hughes eccentric or disgustingly dirty but whatever. It's Jake.
ReplyDeleteWhilst Reese may no longer be 'tiny' but 'adorable', one aspect of the 'sightings' remains the same.
ReplyDeleteKissing and cuddling and touching each other every opportunity they get.
So wouldn't two people that hot for each other, show that interest even when not physically touching?
That means that every picture of the Reeke should at least match the Lakers photos for intensity.
Do they?
^^I agree ag....interesting how the body chemistry in every pic or video of these two contradict the actual "sighting" ...very telling indeed..I honestly sense no physical attraction here at all...body chemistry just doesn't lie IMO
ReplyDeleteYeap, Jake's body language give him away from the very start - Rome photo op: toothpick, hand-to-face touching, awkward body posture.
ReplyDeleteForgot to mention blushing (Rome Italian Vanity Fair interview) - Jake is a bad liar.
ReplyDeleteWhich is a good thing! :)
