Sweet! Happy, happy Austin Friday. Love the song, as always. ;)

Special is the wicked one, not Wicked. LOL

destiny said...

I was going to tell Special how wicked she is, but I see pinky beat me to it.

Special K said...

Wicked? Me? I'm never wicked, maybe just a little naughty.

I hope people get the fun out of this one.

Wicked said...

So I guess what you're saying is that Jake and Austin are some pretty outstanding men, huh?

Watched Priscilla last night. I was a bit disappointed that the only special features on the DVD were the theatrical and teaser trailers. Bummer.

Checking with the Lawman, I agree with you that if Ted did out Jake, Jake would ignore it. I also think Jake would ratchet up the bearding even more. I don't think Ted would do would out him anyway, not because he's afraid of a lawsuit, but because it's a violation of the Hollywood rules. I think Ted would find himself frozen out of the business if he outed anybody, even if he had conclusive proof.

Anonymous said...

If Ted has pictures, he could easily sell them and not be the one to out Jake at all. I'm sure someone out there would be willing to post the pictures (if there are any) and out Jake. So Ted's threat is not completely empty.

Clarity said...

Great song. I luv it!

Petty much says it all huh : )

Happy Friday everyone.

Just to answer Wicked's question about Ted and lawsuits, here goes with my short primer on defamation.

First, the plaintiff, i.e, Jake, would have the burden of proving the following:

1. That what was said about him was defamatory, i.e., that it exposed him to public hatred, contempt, ridicule or disgrace.

2. That the statement at issue referred to the plaintiff.

3. That it was "published"--i.e., that the statement was conveyed to at least one other peson.

These first 3 elements only have to be proven by the preponderance of the evidence, that is, that the greater amount of the evidence supports those elements.

However, because Jake is a public figure, the next two elements below have to be proven by a "clear and convincing" standard, which means a high degree of probability. Think of the first as 51% of the evidence, while the latter is more like 75-80% certainty (not that courts ever put numbers on it like that). Those elements are:

4. Clear and convincing evidence that the statement was false.

5. Clear and convincing evidence that the person making the statement KNEW that the statement was false or made it with a reckless disregard as to the truth or falsity of the matter.

So, in short, Jake would have to prove that the statements were false (quite different that Ted having to prove they are true) and prove malice--i.e., that Ted knew it was false or was reckless (not just negligent) about the truth.

Finally, the plaintiff would have to prove that he was damaged as a result.

Bottom line? Suing would just bring more attention to the whole thing, and the burden would be on on Jake to prove it's false and that Ted knew it was false. And faking a relationship for the press is one thing, getting up on the witness stand and perjuring yourself is another.

Sorry for the legal lecture on Austin Friday.

Ted's threat is empty in that HE would not be the one to out Jake. Someone else would be the instrument of the outing.

Wonder what got Ted so rattled. I am a bit surprised by his latest BI. He's always been so adamant that he would never directly out someone, although he has come as close to outing Jake as one can without actualy doing it. It was apparent in those recent Paris pics that Jake is not even trying anymore. Something he said obviously made it back to Ted's ears.

There is an infamous pic of Jake in blue beach shorts that gets posted about every 5 days on the DC eyelashes thread. The man is fully outlined and revealed for all to see. He most definitely stands out.

Wicked said...

Thanks for the explanation, Destiny. I don't think most actors in that situation, including Jake, would sue because it would just bring more attention to the issue. Ignoring it would be more likely to make it go away. My point was that what is true often has no bearing on what is provable in court.

Florida Tom said...

Ted works for E and I am sure makes damn good money. So I guess he has to play by company rules. If E is a big part of the entertainment industry and they dont want Jake outed Ted wont do it.

What I like to know is how do people like Perez, MK and Lainey get paid. They have their own websites. Does someone else really own the sites or do they get paid through advertisement money.

Perez must be certain that WM is gay because he certainly outed him. Or did he? Is saying someone is gay really enough to make someone like WM sue Perez or would Perez need to post a picture of WM kissing some guy? Nothing has changed for Wentworth and Perez hasn't been sued as far as we know.

Didn't Cruise sue a guy because he said he had an affair with him. Gossip is a part of the industry. I think individuals egos would be the factor when it comes to law siuts. Individuals with egos like Cruises an reeses would be more likely to sue. They sure dont need to do it for the money.

Special K said...

Yeah the blue shorts pic was in the running, but the decided to go with out and about in the city. ; )

Wicked said...

Sad news-

Randy Pausch, author of "The Last Lecture" has died.

beatriceorme said...

Well, well, well.

Isn't this bit of news interesting? Guess who's rumored to be on the short list for the title role in the upcoming comic to film adaptation of Captain America?

John Barrowman.

Yup, the most out gay man on the planet told the folks at Comic Con 08 that he would love to play the quintessential All American Hero and to look for news in that vein in the near future.

Would HW and Middle America explode?

Anonymous said...

Wow, that would be great. Fingers crossed!

destiny said...

Double Wow!

Anonymous said...

Yea, John Barrowman! That would be great if he got that role.

Great post today, Special. Great pictures : ) Just what the doctor ordered. Now if I could just find that one that "m" is referencing to.....

Wow, Destiny, I'm glad you gave the Cliff Notes version at the bottom of your post. My head got a little woozy there for awhile, lol.

Wonder what got Ted so rattled. I am a bit surprised by his latest BI. He's always been so adamant that he would never directly out someone, although he has come as close to outing Jake as one can without actualy doing it.

Ted has, hasn't he? And probably he really wouldn't do it, would he? But you know what. Yes, Jake could ignore it and maybe it would go away. But what started all this Reeke business anyway? Partly because of Toothy Tile and all the internet rumors, right? So I don't know just how much of it would go away. Am I making sense?

Anonymous said...

Great news! I think that would be fantastic, John Barrowman playing Captain America. We really need to see more of him, I think - talented, gorgeous, full of personality, and brave. :)

Guess who was on The View Today?
Neil Patrick Harris!! I have to say that he seems a nice guy, VERY
HANDSOME, GREAT BUILD, AND HONEST!
I see why everyone likes him.
I have a few questions and want
to see if anyone can answer these
questions:
(1) When did the questions about
Jake's sexuality start-about the
time of DAT or between then and
BBM? If it is true that he is gay
or bisexual, he should be called
JAKE THE FAKE! I am only joking and I am not passing judgment on
him.
(2) Did either he or Reese issue
a statement whether they were living together? Prairie Girl, I
will bet that Jake will discuss
NOTHING about his personal life.
I think that they and their publicists have a sneaky way of
getting around it!
(3) Do you think that there could be photos of Jake and some
of his lover floating around? What
I am trying to say and of course
no one but Jake knows-do you think
Austin was his first male lover?
Do you think Austin is bisexual?
(4) I agree 100% with Jersey Tom. I think people would respect
Jake more if he just made a simple
statement along the lines of he
had someone in his life and then
said that he would discuss nothing
else personal.
(5) I know Ted always said that
the Grey Goose was well endowed.
Did he ever say that Toothy Tile
was particularly well endowed?
I have always wondered about that
from some of the photos. They leave nothing to the imagination!
(6) Is it possible that you could have a discussion on JFC on
gorgeous Austin Friday?
(7) I am telling you the truth
here. When Rendition first started
filming, on Conan O'Brien Show, it
said that Jake was ALREADY DATING
REESE WITHERSPOON! I thought at
the time that it sounded very fast.
What I am trying to say that
to be honest, you have less stress
in your life. It is going to be
something if there are photos of
Jake with a man floating around and they come to the public
attention. So sorry for such a long post but hoped that some of
you can answer some of these questions. Please remember I did
not start noticing all this until
about late 2006 or early 2007.
That's what drew me to OMG. You
all have such a great blogspot
and great opinions. Let me know if
some of you can answer some of
these questions. I will catch you
later.

has teds toothy BI today. comments are great.

Anonymous said...

If Ted does have pictures, and really wanted to out Jake, he should arrange for them to be leaked to a smaller blogger (like JJ) and let him run them. That way Ted wouldn't get any of the heat.

Anonymous said...

Wow in a wet suit, guess Ted was right.

Anonymous said...

master plan, didn't Ted try and pull that last year with Jaxson? I mean come on, it was nothing but recycled TT BI's from Ted that were flaoting around for over two years. Jaxson claimed to be shocked by this info which was absurd. Jaxson claimed to be a former PA or something working in HW quit, then decided to start a blog and you mean he never heard of TT and the fact that most people in HW and on the net knew? Was he living under a rock?

He started his blog in April of '07 checking his archives and he didn't mention Jake until around July and it was about Jake and Reese and how cute and hot he was, then he came out with his gay list and Jake wasn't on it. Then somethinghappened in August. At the time I thought that it was a "fan" pretending to be an insider and fed him that "info" and Jaxson was just dumb, well Jaxson still is dumb but i now wonder if it was Ted that fed him that info? Not many blogs mention Ted and TT anymore, ent lawyer is rare so why wouldn't he have someone else do his dirty work?

Ted dissapeared during that time "traveling" according to his intern, a "bad back" according to him. When the dust had settled and the whole thing blew up in Jaxsons face, Ted returned and made some comment about TT about to be outed by some tadbloid(NE).

Nothing happened with that,JJ made another attempt with the baby tile crap and it was ignored.

IMO, ted already did that and look what happen and MK from d-list and Ent lawyer ain't going there, snide, homophobic remarks aside, they will not do wahtt JJ tried to do on behalf of Ted.

destiny said...

There's no connection between Ted and JJ. JJ on the other hand accused Perez of promising to help him with his blog and then not doing so, and accused Perez of posting a sex tape JJ gave him on YouTube. Perez is clearly on the PR payroll in one way or another, and JJ probably turned out to be too much of a loose cannon pointing straight back at Perez.

Anonymous said...

JJ claimed that someone told him that Perez had a pic of Jake and his BF leaving the hospital in L.A., supposedly the Mommy had just given birth, this was around October. He said that he called Perez and asked if he had the picture, and Perez said that it was a lie, he didn't. JJ posted the story anyway and when it didn't generate the interest like his previous story he declared that he heard that Jake used ti be at least BI and that he was a good looking actor and that he had it with this and wasn't going to post about him anymore.

He also bragged that he was going to move to Manhattan and I don't think he did and then he was going to close his blog, which I don't think he did.

The Perez/JJ feud came after that, regarding the leaked tape. I also think that Perez used JJ to help discredit a certain gossip columnist. The baby tile thing turned a lot of bloggers off finally, saying Ted was a joke and writing fan fic.

Just my speculation, but there was something weird about that and then silence, JJ may have done it for publicity but there was more there.

Anonymous said...

Perez was probably brought into the fold to discredit the Toothy saga. He fed JJ a load of bull, JJ published it, and the fact that it was totally false made many people doubt the TT BI entirely. Just look back at all the times this is brought up as evidence that the whole thing is BS.

Constantly there are posts berating The "Tedheads" who are the only ones who believe the TT saga which is complete fiction (insert Baby Tile argument here) blah blah blah.

Brilliant PR move IMO. Perez was the perfect insider to have do the deed and he'll continue to shill for Reeke, call Ryan and Abbie whores and everyone will assume that he is just expressing his own independant thoughts.

Did someone ask how these people get paid? "Ad space" is the answer you'll get if you ask but ad space doesn't get you real estate in LA. It would barely pay the rent their parents use to charge them to live in their basements.

Seems to me that keeping Jake staight is making a lot of hands dirty.

It is been alleged that Jake Gyllenhaal and his long time secret partner Austin Nichols, allegedly, became parents of a baby boy last Wednesday night through a planned cesarean via a surrogate. The baby was born at Cedar Sinai Medical Center in Hollywood, CA. While Jake is off jet setting promoting his current film, Austin is said to be at home with a nanny tending to the new born allegedly....
.... The 'source' and supposed 'friend' of Jake's sent me the email to continue by stating Perez Hilton had purchased a photo of them leaving the hospital but has yet to post it.

Poor dumb JJ, from his "blog":



"Your Fired
Hi Friends,

I wanted to let you know here first, before you read it in the press, that I have fired my attorney's in the case Mario Lavandeira has against me.

It was simply to costly and I couldn't afford it. So does this mean he wins? Possibly, but I will fight the best way I know on my own unless I am capable of retaining another attorney prior.

A recent story summed up the case the best and hopefully justice will be served in this silly thing. He has tons of money, but that shouldn't equal justice for wrong doing.

Life it is to not be rich and famous...

XoXo,

JJ

Hey "tr", If dumb JJ was fed a bunch of old recycled TT BI's back in Aug. as you and some think, then JJ lied when he said that someone that worked with Jake sent him that info. A gossip blogger that lies!! What next! And for the record it was all TT BI's, he only added the date of the birth of baby TT, and the hospital the baby was supposedly born. Also he added the name of the place where TT and his BF were "warned" about fooling around in a car, but the rest was all Ted, are you saying that all the TT BI's are made up?

"tr" you have been around the gossip blogs for awhile, you didn't think it strange that JJ didn't know that most think TT is Jake? Becasue that was what he claimed.

And for the record, Perez isn't the only blogger calling Ryan and Abbie whores.

No one needs to discredit Ted and TT, he did on his own. He still has his "readers" but the numbers have clearly diminished.

That should be two months later he still WAS pushing it (Oct. '07). He hasn't mentioned TT since.

hope everyone has a nice weekend
and that everything goes well for
both Jake and Austin career wise.

Florida Tom said...

Thanks for posting that Wicked. It is great to know you have the ability to post when such people are on the blog.

It is awesome that ent lawyer posted Ted's BI last night. I wish MK would pick it up. It seems that even when people are outed like Wentworth and Jake it doesn't ever make the mainstream unless the person makes it offical. I think Jake is feeling real cozy right now knowing that he has that 30 million in his pocket minus reese's share and that Disney will do everything tp protect him from being out. They made a big investment in him.

ROFL!! That was a good guffaw to start my weekend off with, Rotten in Denmark.

What's Christian the Lion?

Prairie Girl, I
will bet that Jake will discuss
NOTHING about his personal life.


Right, Kacie; that's part of what I'm saying. If he says nothing about his personal (i.e. romantic) life, then that says to me that the question isn't allowed. If it's asked and he hemhaws around & ducks it like a B52, then to me, that makes it look worse for him. When you're all over US Weekly & People with your "oh so private" relationship, what on earth could there possibly be to hide? His silence would speak loud enough for me.

whohoooo, whohooooo, it's Friday, it's Friday... is there hardly a better day, I ask???

Anonymous said...

Well clearly Jake is still concerned enough about Ted to rearrange his life. I have been around long enough to know which information sources are teamed up and which ones are floating and who has been bought outright.

All bloggers get used at certain times by posting stories that later turn out to be untrue. Most of the time they were set up given what appear to be tips by credible sources who were actually trying to pull strings for a client and turn public opinion one way or the other. That could have happened to Ted at some point but it clearly happened to JJ.

For the record, your troll tactics are weak and instantly recognizable.

BTW how do you monitor the eonline hits? Clearly you are tracking the numbers if you are so sure the "readers" are deminishing.

You must be a paid shill (which makes my skin crawl but doesn't surprise me) or a fan run amock spewing lies to defend people who for the record don't deserve your misguided loyalty.

Great song today! I've never heard of her before, but I will be checking her out.

JJ may be a fool and got played, but it doesn't mean Ted's TT stories are not true. I also think Ted is too smart to let that happen to him.

Anonymous said...

I bet Reese is pretty pissed at Ted. Because of him Disney will probably make her drag her ass out to Morocco in the intense heat to counter the latest BI.

Re JJ- one days reading of his blog and you just knew the guy would be eaten alive. Used and abused.

I tried to buy IMAX tickets to TDK today. The earliest open date available is 8/29. Can you believe that? I am so happy for Heath.

I did think Ted's latest had another toothy/jake clue. He said toothy was a boy and a man. What other HW star looks like a boy one day, a man the next. Only Jake.

I often think that Jake maybe spends time with Reese then when
things get stressful, he runs back
to Austin. That's just my opinion.
I think NPH is a great actor also.
Ted really sounded angry yesterday. It did look like Jake

in England. Time will tell, I
guess.Have a great Saturday.
