  2. Only the Mirror mentions J&R and there don't seem to be pics even though there are pics of other guests. Thinking this is a guest-list job.

  3. So funny about the Mandela sighting since there have be loads and loads of pictures of the celebration and the celebs there and not one of Jake or Reese.

    And wasn't the Mandela celebration earlier this week.

    Oh but then Bill Clinton, Oprah, Will Smith, Naomi Campbell, all the camera would taking pictures of them.

    Ahh yeah right

  4. Two seperate events:There was a birthday dinner for Mandela on Wednesday at Hyde Park in London hosted by Will Smith. Jake and Reese weren't listed but Oprah, Forrest Whittiker, etc. appeared at both. The pics floating around are from the 1st event. The concert was last night and so far there are ony pics of the performers on stage. Mandela banned Campbell from his dinner on Wednesday due to her legal problems but he didn't seem to have a problem lastnigt with Winehouse performing.

  5. I have to think about my movie choice.

    Did anyone watch Brokeback on Bravo last night? They did edit the hell out of it, the tent scenes, the love scenes with the Alma and Lureen. They did keep the reunion kiss intact, the scene in bed at the Siesta motel pretty much, as well as Ennis washing up and Jack doing the wash in the stream. While it was disappointing to see one of my favorite films gutted like a fish (it does take away some of the power of it); but like we say, it's good that a home audience can get to see it, and the more people it reaches, better. Even just for the sheer beauty, and immenseness of it - both the subject matter and the location.

    On an amusing note, I love language and I consider colorful swearing part of the beauty of language. Of course, they had to dub some of the swear words, and some of the cuter ones:

    "Jack Frederick Twist"
    "A Coupla High Altitude Flings"
    "Fer how long - four Stinkin' Years?"

    ;)

  6. I noticed that too NETB. And how they used a shot of the tent rustling for the wide shot for SNIT, make you think of Hayes Code Hollywood, how they infer something but won't show it.

    I didn't understand why they would keep the reunion kiss but not the kisses in SNIT. I guess horizontal kissing is a grounds for editing to some.

  7. I picked Priscilla for the movie club. Great song today Wicked. I checked out the album. Very cool : )

    I knew they were going to butcher BBM so I didn't even watch. Sorry. too painful.

  8. Thanks for the report NETB, I was very curious as to what they'd do. We did leave it on after the GLAAD awards, but turned it off when they had the first commercial only 15 minutes in. I also found all the adds that kept popping up at the bottom annoying.

    It was great to see Rufus on the GLAAD awards, he talked about how he couldn't be in the closet because he's a terrible liar. Matthew Sheppard's mom was honored, and that was very touching. I had such mixed feelings watching the awards; happy for the all the people who are out and how far things have come, but felt sad for all the things that haven't changed. And I couldn't stop thinking of Reeke either. I don't think Jake would get a very good reception if he ever dared show up again.

    I hate voting for movie, I can never make up my mind. :D I hope you're leaving the poll up for a few days so I can mull it over.

  9. So far there are no pics of Jeese at the Mandela concert. Maybe they will show up later. From WFT2 here are some celebrity guests arriving .

    I agree Spesh, this above all is what bothered me the most. I don't understand why. Ennis kissing and nuzzling Jack's bare chest is beautiful. I did like the wide shot of the tent from afar and the rustling in it, if they had to edit. I still loved it, but I'm glad I saw it in its original form on the big screen, and have it on DVD. I'm thinking about Pricilla for our next movie too. :)

    I'm sorry I missed Rufus at the GLAAD awards; I wonder if they'll repeat it. The ads were bothersome, but I did like the one for the ASPCA with Sara McLachlan as spokesperson. I still loved it

    I think the whole thing is worth a download. Pretty solid throughout.

    Found out something important about Tom. He makes it rain when you go to baseball games with him. He did it last year when we went to Camden Yards and again last night at Nationals Park. Thankfully it didn't last too long. The park is absolutely beautiful and the Nats won over the Orioles, 4-2.

  12. Reminder never invite Tom to a Sox game. : )

  13. Could this report of Reeke at the Mandela concert turn out like the reports of Reeke/Jake at Heath's funeral? The funeral reports were also in credible sources, but it really doesn't seem like Reeke was there.

  14. The Daily Mirror, often referred to simply as The Mirror, is a British tabloid daily newspaper founded in 1903.

  15. I dont beleive any sighting until I see evidence in a photo. Jake's reprotedly been in in 3 states/countries in the past 5 days. I do beleive their names were probably on the guest list. A courtesy listing as has happened before.

    Off topic, but ONTD has a new interview with Christain Bale. Only a brief mention of Heath, but I bring it up because 1. Christain usually uses an American accent in movies. In this interview, his real accent is very evident. 2. He has a new haircut, is chiseled and is smokin hot. I mean smokin!

  16. Destiny, I think you're right. I don't think Jake would've gotten a good reception at the GLAAD awards. Was that the one where he presented an award to Jennifer Anniston last year, I think?

    I am sorry to say I had not heard of Rufus Wainright until this year. He is very charming. I felt it touching when he was talking about always being "on". Sometimes pretending that everything is alright when it's not. He seemed to stop himself and not go any further. I also loved to see 2 of my favorite cast members of Ugly Betty, Michael Urie and the girl who plays Amanda (can't think of her name). I loved that show last year; this year not as much.

    Wow, that's a heckuva cover page on US Weekly. I didn't realize it was such a "big" story. Why in the heck is Reese's picture so dang big on it? Clearly she is the focus of that article. I couldn't really read it - you can only stand so long at the checkout counter before the clerks start staring @ you, like "Are you going to buy that or not? : )

  17. One more comment before I go cocoon again; I also stuck around to watch BBM. Man, they did butcher that with their editing. I, too, found some of their language substituting kind of funny. I missed the Jack Frederick Twist, that's hilarious. I also liked the "rocking" tent. I've never seen such an active tent on TV before and I don't remember that long of a glimpse of it in the original movie either. Of course I had to cry again several times, especially a few scenes which made me remember that Heath is gone and was so young when he died.

    For every big secret, you need a big lie. Nailed might be on the way to collapse, and those pesky gay rumors aren't going away. US Weekly to the rescue.

    See? When the last time anyone mentioned Nailed here?

  19. Give it a rest already. Jake has Brothers and PoP, and any problems with Nailed has absolutely nothing to do with Jake.

  20. Nailed got mentioned on Wed

    Nailed not shut down but finally wrapped!

    The State: It's a wrap for Nailed

  21. Yeah, right I've Got My Eye On You. LOL

  22. "Give it a rest already. Jake has Brothers and PoP, and any problems with Nailed has absolutely nothing to do with Jake."

    I completely disagree. If the presence of an Academy Award nominee is not enough to convince potential backers to fully fund a film, the star is damaged goods.

    And when you combine the near-demise of Nailed with the fact that nothing else firm seems to be on Jake's immediate calendar after PoP, I think that we can say that Jake's star has dimmed in Hollywood. If he didn't have PoP, he'd be in BIG trouble right now.

    The irony, of course, is that in the process of getting what he really wanted - a franchise - he proved that he's been lying for months.

    In effect, PoP provided Jake with 10 million reasons to lie.

    This is what happens when you're an ambitious, closeted, gorgeous, talented gay man in Hollywood. You beard, and you hope that the bad karma - fabricated photos, planted rumors, distancing yourself from family and non-industry friends, destroying your credibility with respectable journalists - will not catch up with you.

    For Jake, it did : Nailed is a professional embarassment. And there's absolutely nothing that Jake's PR, Reese, CAA, US Weekly or over-zealous fans can do about it.

    Nothing.

  23. It looks like Priscilla is edging out Auntie Mame at the moment. Will it be the ABBA loving drag queens beating out Mame.

    Sordid Lives got only one vote. Maybe after the series starts on Logo in July more people will want to see the movie.

    Beth Grant (Kitty Farmer in Donnie Darko, and the housekeeper in House of Usher)is reprising her role as Sissy Hickey in it. In fact most of the cast from the movie is reprising their roles in Del Shannon's black comedy about white trash set in small town Texas.

    Here's Beth combining Sparkle Motion with her Sissy Hickey hairdo. Beth Grant

  24. Someone on WFT2 posted a Lainey BI:

    "Two Boys in the City

    First fellow has been the subject of gay speculation for years. He’s had the luxury of hiding behind those with a higher profile and then later in obscurity while others have dominated the smutty landscape. Not that it would matter either way but it’s been decided for the greater good by committee that he remain vague about the fact that he likes boys better than girls.

    Vague is better than fraud. And picking up in Gaytown is much better than doing it 70s style in the forest like George Michael. Now that he’s single, having broken up with a longterm boyfriend, with whom he was living openly back home, he was seen at 2am very recently in an area where the homos hang, propositioning a male acquaintance to join him back at the hotel. Unfortunately he had his signals crossed. The object of his sleepover was not interested."

    Some aspects seem like it could be Jake. The committee decision, the reference to back home (US) and to George Michael who has been caught in English woods before.

  25. Sorry still think that Jake and Austin are still very very much together. That's not going to change for me.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Special K, I think they are still together too, based on Ted's comments. Plus, Ted has said Toothy had been very careful to go only with people he knows. But I felt I had to pass the item on to get feedback and opinions.

  29. From this week Parade magazine:

    "Q: Is it true the Jake Gyllenhaal will star in a biopic about New York Jets great Joe Namath?

    A: Yes. Jake- who says he's often told he resembles the lengendary playboy-quarterback- is looking forward to playing "Broadway Joe." But the red-hot star has a busy dance card, and it could be a while before he slips on Joe's famous NO. 12 Jets jersey. Jake will soon start shooting Prince of Persia and has two other movies that already wrapped. Nailed, a political satire with Jessica Biel, and Brothers, involving the Afghan war, with Tobey Maguire."

    Don´t worry (or I should better say - don´t be malicious) Jake will have enough projects to work on.

  30. Why do trolls ^ continue to post here if they believe us delusional?
    And why do they confuse us with WFT? We don't bother with their blogs.

    So Reese and Jake were antique-ing in Portobello Road? The paps won't be too long finding them, then - even low-key Maggie and Peter got papped there recently. J&R did sooo well to avoid cameras at the Mandela gig :)

    Film club - Auntie Mame, please, after the last thread's discussions.

  31. I am glad to hear that Jake is going to be doing the Joe Namath
    movie. As regards to his personal
    life, I wish him well whichever
    way it goes. I will ALWAYS think
    that he and Austin were together at some point. Sometimes I think
    Austin actually has found someone
    else. I have not decided yet on the film yet so please leave it
    open an extra day or so.Thanks.
    To me, it is just so sad that
    people just cannot live their lives naturally and not in secret.
    Wicked, please keep me posted on
    The Dark Knight. I really hope that Heath Ledger is nominated for
    an Oscar and wins it too! He truly
    was EXCEPTIONAL!
    All the Jake and Reese articles
    get tiresome all the time. I know
    one thing-if they do someday get
    married, Reese had better have an
    IRONCLAD PRENUPTIAL AGREEMENT in
    place!
    I have become quite the fan of
    Prairie Girl and M and all of you.
    It is no wonder many people call
    Hollywood HOLLYWEIRD! Sorry for
    such a long post, but I am disgusted with some of the magazine articles and all. Take
    care everyone and have a good 4th
    of July!!

  32. I find it hard to believe that Reese and Jake have been together in England for 2 weeks and there are no pap pics. For a couple who are such pr whores, they didn't arrange a coffee run session, or they were at a market and didn't arrange a photo op? Doesn't sound like them. What's the point of Reese dumping her kids and running off to be with Jake if she's not getting PR pics of her clinging to him out of it. I also find it odd that Reese who protrays herself and super loving, soccer mom left her kids in LA for over 2 weeks to be with her "boyfriend".

  35. 7:46 AM, in all fairness, I could go to the market in Union Square on Tuesday, have someone take my picture and say I saw Jake and Reese. Really doesn't make that blog very credible.

    You could, yes. But you didn't. All we know about you is "NYC girl". You could be "Alabama Queen" tomorrow.

    Really doesn't make that blog very credible.

    And you immediately judge others.
    I find this quite amusing. It makes me laugh.

    You're mistaken about this, J & R are not PR whores. All the pap pics that get taken of them by paps in LA? well guess what, this is when the paps find them out-and-about. There are a lot of paps in Hollywood, trying to keep up with all the celebrities there, ya know. Of course the paps will go where the celebs are, duh!!

    What's the point of Reese dumping her kids and running off to be with Jake if she's not getting PR pics of her clinging to him out of it.

    Why do you guys go on and on about PR? Why should Reese seek out pap coverage? She doesn't want it, and neither does Jake. What makes you think that they want the invasive attention?

  40. Questionning, don´t be naive - if you would have the same pictures with Jake and Austin, everyone here would be drooling and saying, "how sweet, lovable and great" they are looking - but since it is Jake and Reese, it must be PR planted.....
