Being a star you can have anything, but in reality all you need is just one thing. Jake pics: IHJ Austin pics: Courtesy of Picture This! An Austin Nichols Journal (Spooky2th)
Jake certainly needs something right now, but I'm not convinced that it's Austin. Maybe a more stable family situation, and a ticket to Brooklyn might do the trick.
I wanted to comment on something from the previous thread, about just who shoud play the POP:
It's a little simplistic to just say "the part should go to someone of Persian ethnicity" as a knee-jerk reaction (no offense intended). It's just as discriminatory to base hiring on race or ethnicity for any reason - it's reverse discrimination to exclude someone based on their race or ethnicity. It should be because the actor has the talent to play the part, first of all. In this case I should think it the actor would be chosen because he closely resembles the character in the video game. This isn't a true story, it's based on a fun video game for crying out loud, it's something that is going to be fun, light, family entertainment, which is a good thing. Race or ethnicity should not be the sole criteria; it might be different if the story was a true one, based on an historical character or one of great cultural significance.
What is Dastan's backstory? Is he really even Persian? There's a lot of factors to consider - talent, resemblance to the character, box office. Persia as it was no longer exists; there are those who can trace their lineage back to Persia.
That said, if they can fill as many roles as they can with actors who are of Iranian descent, that would be great. I don't know of many Iranian actors, I'm not as knowledgeable about Iranian cinema as I should be.
Seems that Mr. Brady has been bitten by the Brentwood bug. He and Gisele were staying in Brentwood, when he got spend time with his 7 month old son John last week on their visit to LA.
I do have to snicker that US Weekly is the one that had the story. Dopplegangers in Brentwood. Someone might get the wrong idea!
Boy is that rendering scarey. I'm just going to think about Austin and Tom instead. Not that I think they run in the same social circles, but it would be a hoot to actually see the two of them together in a picture. Funny about the age of Tom's baby.
FLF, no problem! Sorry for my rather simplistic post, because it's more complicated than what I dashed off. Persia the country was renamed to Iran, but it's a cultural identity, ethnicity and language as well, and that certainly does exist. Also those who did not subscribe to the modern regimes and had to leave - we had an acquaintance who is Persian and he and his family left after the Shah was overthrown. My apologies if I was incorrect. :)
That pic of Jake as Dastan... If that's what the character would look like then I can only offer this piece of advice- run fast, run far, screaming loudly!
I don't think the rendereing of Jake as PoP is so scary. If you picture more sloppy bangs hanging low on the forehead, a few smudges of dirt on the face it would be more accurate and appealing to the character I think. It seems to fit Jake very well. I'd hit it. lol
Sorry but Johnny Depp as Dastan does not cut it for me either. Does not have the frame and looks even less. I know it was a video game and does not have to look real but some vague oriental/Persian look should be there. Johnny Depp was and his a hell of a good looking guy, but looks nothing Persian to me.
If Jake is Dastan, can you imagine the interviews:
So how did you prepare for you role? Besides the physical training. How did you get into the mind of Dastan? What was your motivation?
I spent a lot of time playing the game.
Did you use the cheat codes to so you could explore everything behind the character?
I don't use cheat codes. I feel that would compromise the integrity of my performance. I studied Dastan as he was meant to be, not from some easy way. I got all 39 Save Points on my own, ok maybe I had to ask a friend to help a few times, but I got them all with out cheats.
Well, I believe that Jake already has Austin so I'm with Huh? and Destiny on that topic: Jake needs to end the showmance pronto and stop playing doggie boy to RW. But Jake himself probably thinks that all he really needs right now is that role in PoP�
That rendering was really funny. Seriously, I think he'd make a gorgeous Dastan. My only two problems are the source material � a video game � and the fact that Jerry Bruckheimer � aka as Mr. Subtlety (sigh) � is at the helm.
Congrats to Jake the #1 metrosexual celebrity! The funny thing when you look at that Top ten list is that half of these guys are most likely gay! :D
Wicked, Ted says Supes seems to like his female fans almost as much as he likes his steamy Hollywood girlfriends,...
Clooney doesn't get his gfs in HW circles I think - that French girl Celine, and his latest, a Vegas callgirl... sorry, cocktail waitress or something. ;)
Forgot to say the Butler guy sounds cool. So this must mean Reeke weren't there, not that I believed it. It sounded phoney at the start. But it's nice to have someone like Butler walkin the walk fer a change.
I must be gettin older or wiser cos people like Ryan P and G Butler who seem more genuine/honest/real are really rockin my boat lately.
O-oh! now that some doubt has been cast Reeke's way, are we to expect an extra extra lovey dovey photo op in the coming days/weeks? 10 cool points to G Butler. Wish we had more like him. ha ha! will keep PR on their toes...
These sightings of Gerry and Cam are earlier, one at the same hotel so they apparently go there a lot. If he isn't dating her he sure likes hanging with her if true:
Cameron Diaz and Gerard Butler Get Cozy? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By Brenda Jones Apr 2, 2008
Cameron Diaz, who was last linked to Criss Angel and John Mayer, got up close and personal with Gerard Butler, the Scottish-born star of 300, at Teddy’s nightclub in LA on March 29, a new report claims. "They ignored everyone else,” an onlooker tells Life & Style. “They just kept getting closer and closer."
Cameron Diaz and Gerard Butler Get Cozy?
Gerard, 38, couldn’t get enough of the 35-year-old actress Cam, the eyewitness claims. "There was a lot of thigh and arm touching,” says the onlooker, “which got more progressive as the night went on.” Between sips of champagne and water, Cameron seemed to be laughing at all of Gerard’s jokes.
***
“At one point,” the onlooker adds, “she placed her bottle of Voss water between her legs, and Gerard put his hand on it.” But just as the couple (who also reportedly had dinner together at the Chateau Marmont in LA on March 27) were about to lock lips, a group of tipsy girls interrupted them and asked for a photo.
“Gerard was annoyed at first,” says the insider, “but then was amused to discover the girls had no idea who he was. They just wanted him to take a picture of them, which he did!” And then, of course, he got back to canoodling with Cameron.

Jake know RDJ, make sense he would be there did he take Reese? Who knows, but a story like that is easy to check and I bet it has, and the hotel confirmed they were boh there along with Stiller. Does Cam and Gerry even know RJ! I bet they were already there and stopped by here table IMO and you have a double date!
x17 has video of them on that day, i bet rdj & co left earlier and they hung around.
The paps asked if he was dating her not if they were at that hotelon that night, they obviously heard about the other sightings, this one just got more play.
So IMO yes reeke was there but they were there for the party not a double date.
Found this as well while, this was sure swept under the rug. There is a video of this on x17, but they don't say why he was pulled over and you just see Deacon, I bet Reese was not happy:
Actor RYAN PHILLIPPE has been pulled over by police in California for speeding with his two young children in the car. The Flags Of Our Fathers star was driving in Santa Monica with his kids from his marriage to Reese Witherspoon, Ava, seven, and Deacon, four, when he was stopped by an officer on Friday (04Apr08). It's believed the actor allegedly ignored a stop sign and was speeding.
Well if the Ryan speeding story is true than he and Reese are evn cos a few months ago there were pics on X17 (not just a story but clear full-on PICS) of Reese driving off with Deacon sitting in his child seat and he was not strapped in.
Jake certainly needs something right now, but I'm not convinced that it's Austin. Maybe a more stable family situation, and a ticket to Brooklyn might do the trick.
ReplyDelete^^Huh? What he needs to do is to end the fauxmance. He was doing fine before he stopped being himself.

Totally agree with huh? Today's post sums that up very nicely.

ReplyDeleteooops! sorry didn't read that bit...
Tom or Austin?

I do have to snicker that US Weekly is the one that had the story. Dopplegangers in Brentwood. Someone might get the wrong idea!
Rock -a -bye Baby Brady
Pictorial rendering of Jake as the Dastan
ReplyDeleteUm, no.
Jake named the number
ReplyDeleteone metrosexual celebrity!
Congrats Jake!
Boy is that rendering scarey. I'm just going to think about Austin and Tom instead. Not that I think they run in the same social circles, but it would be a hoot to actually see the two of them together in a picture. Funny about the age of Tom's baby.
ReplyDeleteThat rendering wasn't what I had in mind either!
ReplyDeleteLove the bottom row pics of Austin with some scruff, very cute, and love today's song. :)

ReplyDeleteThat pic of Jake as Dastan... If that's what the character would look like then I can only offer this piece of advice- run fast, run far, screaming loudly!
ReplyDeleteYikes that rendering is scarey. I would rather appreciate Jake's real looks and beauty instead.
ReplyDelete*goes back to looking at the pics from today's post*
I don't think the rendereing of Jake as PoP is so scary. If you picture more sloppy bangs hanging low on the forehead, a few smudges of dirt on the face it would be more accurate and appealing to the character I think. It seems to fit Jake very well. I'd hit it. lol
ReplyDeleteToday's post. Jake only needs one thing? Well with AF singing my firsrt thot was....a pink cadillac.
ReplyDeleteJake in long hair would be interesting. Actually I'm kind of curious how he would really look in flowing raven locks with piercing blue eyes.
ReplyDeleteSurviving the Bubble Boy hair, I think we can survive anything.
(ok got to stop thinking about Jarhead Jake tanned with long hair)
: )
Spesh, I agree - I'm partial to longer-haired Jake myself. I'm sure the result will be better than that rendering. ;)
ReplyDeleteBadSeed, cute comment @ 12:06! :)
This rumor about Jake as Dastan is spreading across the internet. But the source is always the same.
ReplyDeleteDo you all think that Nailed has started filming already, like that IMDb poster claimed in the last thread?
ReplyDeleteI'm partial to longer-haired Jake myself.
ReplyDeleteMe too! But that would be really long hair for him. And that goatee beardy thing- ugh!
You know who I could see as Dastan- a young Johnny Depp! Unfortunately, he's too old now.
ReplyDeleteSorry but Johnny Depp as Dastan does not cut it for me either. Does not have the frame and looks even less. I know it was a video game and does not have to look real but some vague oriental/Persian look should be there. Johnny Depp was and his a hell of a good looking guy, but looks nothing Persian to me.
ReplyDeleteAnother vote for Jake with long hair. I prefer the older hairstyles he had to the more recent, shorter cuts.
ReplyDeleteJohnny Depp was and his a hell of a good looking guy, but looks nothing Persian to me.
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't think Jake does! Johnny looks way more Persian than Jake.
If Jake is Dastan, can you imagine the interviews:
ReplyDeleteSo how did you prepare for you role? Besides the physical training. How did you get into the mind of Dastan? What was your motivation?

So what was it like to kiss Farah?
[Gamers leaning in intently]
You know she's just a character right? [laughing]
^^Cute. :)

Really interesting article Frenchy. Thanks for linking it.
ReplyDeleteCamBut not for really?
ReplyDeleteJust Jared
What does that mean about Reeke?
CamBut not for real...
ReplyDeleteWell, even if he's lying at least there's no pussin-a-footin with that Butler guy. Here's one who doesn't let the tabs do the talking.
Ted's new BI- Clooney?
ReplyDeleteWicked, Ted says Supes seems to like his female fans almost as much as he likes his steamy Hollywood girlfriends,...
ReplyDeleteClooney doesn't get his gfs in HW circles I think - that French girl Celine, and his latest, a Vegas callgirl... sorry, cocktail waitress or something. ;)
