Rain Rain (Don't) Go Away

While it from the looks of it, Raindays and Monday, might have gotten him down. But who says rainy days are a bad thing? Clouds with silver linings. rainbows, an excuse to break out the Wellies. Get out those Rain Rain Go Go Away Boots.

And with rainy days comes rainy day games, a little indoor fun perhaps. Bet there are a lot of games on the shelf in the house for such frequent occasions. Pick up sticks? Tiddlewinks? Chutes and Ladders (or in the UK - Snakes and Ladders)? Uncle Wiggly? Maybe some Candy Land? Or an afternoon of Twister. A little Taboo perhaps? But then again you can't go wrong with classics like, backgammon or a some Texas Hold 'em, jacks are wild.

But here's the question of the day. Is this picture of Jake, Magical Shoe 2: Electric Boogaloo? As you can see by the truck parked, and by the pavement this one picture out of the set was taken in front of the Nottinghill house. You see a foot and shin and poof where did the rest go? Funny thought Tom Hanks did The Man with One Red Shoe years ago? And are he and Rita even in London? Maybe someone's doing a remake with a white one this time. Or maybe they're doing the Invisible Man? Or is it a paparazzi but then why would they duck to take picture of someone with their hood pulled over that side of their face?

  1. :) Well, here he is, our white-sneakered somebody, and there are some more pics where only his shoes are seen.

  2. But different pavement like Spesh said. Size of the squares. Why duck to get a pic when Jake's turned away and his face's covered?

  3. That's right. It just seems to me that it's the same person. But what do I know, I wasn't there :)

  4. "So Reese Witherspoon, 32, left, and boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal, 27, should thank their lucky stars rather than leave Scott’s restaurant with red faces.

    The couple were caught by staff in a saucy clinch by the cloakroom before they sped off like teenagers to resume their session behind the bike sheds."

    That's what they look like after getting caught? Looking all snogged up in the car. Couldn't keep their hands off each other.

  5. LOL!

    That Reese's picture is scary.

  6. The thought that Austin might have been there with Reeke is beyond belief. I would hope Austin, and Jake really, would have more integrity than that.

    ReplyDelete
  7. That picture wasn't taken in fron of their Notting Hill house, that was at Scott's. There are solo pics of Jake as well as Reese, and you can see the squares on the pavement in other shots, I assume the pics were all taken from Scott's to their car and the pavement is different. The guy with the white sneakers appears off and on throughout the set of pics. sometimes you see him and others just the sneakers.

    I assume part of the paps trying to get a different angle.

    ReplyDelete
  8. That guy is one of the paps - you can see him here behind another pap:

  9. Look at the picture again. The Van is the same van in this picture and look at the size of the pavement tiles. This picture was taken outside the house in Nottinghill, it just up the street from the door. The front of the restaurant is tan stone and this is bright white.

    Special might have missed on the shoes, but she's right that this picture was not taken with the others.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I want to hear more about rainy day games than shoes. Unless they're Austin' boots. Is it raining in London today?

    ReplyDelete
  11. Good morning!

    Is that passionate clinch supposed to have taken place just before those dreadful pictures? And what, then behind a bike shed? What? Why? When they have their own place in the romantic Notting Hill? Those pictures do not reflect any post-uncontrolled snogging to me. Or was this alleged sighting after another dinner out?

    Another interesting song. A funked version of a classic. Where do you find these songs, you 2? Love being exposed to music I'd never hear on Muzak. Like I'd never have heard "Time to Say Goodbye" by Andrea Bocelli & Sarah Brightman if not for JFC. I love that.

  12. Getting ready to watch Wedding Banquet, (yeah, a day late & dollar short), noticed a movie in my collection. Has anyone seen Connie & Carla? That is a good one, not a real serious movie, but it does have serious moments.

    ReplyDelete
  13. There are 2 sets of psp pics on the 7th: The pics of Jake and Reese coming home and the Scott pictures later on. Methinks that now that they know where they are staying a few paps hung around the area and followed him from Notting hill to Scott's. Reese isn't in that shot, she may have already be in the car or left seperately since they obviously entered their home seperately earlier when they spotted the paps.

    There are a number of solo shots of Reese floating around and that may have been their shot of her leaving seperately, who knows but it looks like that one pap in particular was probably camped out in Notting hill. I remember one caption with these set of pics saying they arrived seperately.Look for similar pics during their stay there.

    PG: the bike shed comment is a British term for teenagers geting caught snogging, don't think Scott's has a bike shed.They both looked a bit tipsey to me.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I see PR is trying locking the barn doors again after the horse has left the barn. That snogging story is obviously to counter the pictures.

    Regarding the shoes, I need to check the pictures out more carefully when I have more time.

    PG, I've never heard of Carla and Connie.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Why would they plant that with he daily star?? They both looked drunk to me and according to UK TV, they attended a private party later where I assume they got even drunker.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I admit I'm not sure about the shoes but stranger things have happened.
    Although I must admit one picture I found cracks me up of a Pap wearing sneakers with velcro tabs.

    The one thing I do know is that this was picture taken on the street in Notting Hill not in front of the restaurant.

    And ITA agree with you Destiny about closing the barn after the horse got out. The pictures leaving told a completely different story than they are trying to sell now.

    We've seen pictures of a rumpled Jake on other occasions looking like he was seriously "snogging" before hand. Didn't look like that Monday. Maybe he just had a little bit more red red wine instead.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Why would they plant that with he daily star??

    No need, Daily Star is making up stories like that daily. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  18. So, IHJ keeps adding pics from the 7th. How many paps were there??

    ReplyDelete
  19. How Special and Wicked come up with original clever posts and music every day is amazing. Kudos to them!

    ReplyDelete
  20. Reese looks to have not a hair out of place, surely if she were snogging with a man she's crazy about and turned on by she'd look a little disheveled? And after a snog, surely cuddle up to him in the car? A hand on a manly thigh or knee, or shoulders turned his way? Her sour expression made dreamy by kissing him? Face a little flushed? She's still looks sour. Even if they are uncomfortable with PDA around paps, some body language can't be hidden.

    I do wonder about the pics, Spesh, and I like this version of Singin' in the Rain. :)

    ReplyDelete
  21. I have no idea what the theory behind the pavement squares is lol, but this pic shows that all the pics were taken at the same place. Notice half of the pavement has the large squares, half has the smaller ones so the pattern seems to change from one kind of squares to another. Mystery solved.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Check out the white van. Same van by black call box, next to a building with white columns same as the afternoon rain pictures.

    The restaurant didn't have a white columns out front, the front is stone and dark in all the other pictures.

    And yeah there are pictures of Reese going into the house dressed up as she passed by the black trash bins out front. I just can't remember where I saw them.

    ReplyDelete
  23. So, if the Daily Mirror is correct, Jake and Reese finished with dinner and while they waited for their coats, inside the retaurant, this so very private couple, was so overtaken with lust for each other, that they had to grab each other and make out until restaurant staff caught them. I wonder if I could sell the Daily Mirror the Brooklyn Bridge.

  24. ^^:) And the swamp land has already been bought and is no longer available. ;)

  25. Great song today. I went and checked them out. They actually have some good tracks.

    ReplyDelete
  26. That snogging story is just back fill to counter the coldness displayed in the restaurant pics.

    Loved todays song. And the thought that Austin is tucked away where Jake can have easy access.

    ReplyDelete
  27. ^^ Me too. It's raining heavily today in London, I understand. And you know what cozy rainy days are good for - curling up with a good book, or a good somebody! ;)

    ReplyDelete
  28. The Scotts pics are like one of the Real Housewives from OC with her rebellion son - bottle blond Mom dressed up in black dress and heels, son in grungey jeans, unironed casual shirt and hoodie in nice restarant. Forget Will and Grace - more like a show where son can't/won't live on his own cos he has a mother complex.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Ha! Laughing So Hard, you killed me. I know; wouldn't you think it'd carry over into the cab/car? How do you turn on & off that kind of lust? And not a hair out of place, lol!

    Oh,that was a good movie, The Wedding Banquet. That Winston Chao is HOT. Dang, he is good looking. I love getting lost in a movie.

    Destiny, Connie & Carla has Toni Collette & David Duchovney in it. The storyline is kind of lengthy to get into, but it's a good, funny movie. RomCom's are a guilty pleasure of mine.

    ReplyDelete
  30. They knew they would be papped at the restaurant with Bruckheimer. Nice publicity for PoP by the uber-private couple.

    ReplyDelete
  31. agree the lust would be carried to the car in the form of a smile, big or small! or eye contact. In the pics it looks like no love is lost between them.

    btw i hate the way the rags jumped on that R is living with J. BS. me believes R is staying with J for the 1st month or whatever of his London stay, a vacation for her and the kids. NOT 'living together'. don't have the link but ryan p. just bought/moved into HW hills home, supposedly with abby. wonder if the London 'living with' stories is suposed to counteract any ryan-abby stuff. reese is always trying to one-up her dumper so no surprise there.

    Jake IMO is the kind who can only have 1 friend at a time. Someone who he hangs wioth all the time, gets heavily vested into, pours out all his confidences and fears and then after a couple of years he moves on to someone else. Reese is his friend for now. IMO Reese is more independent but she likes the attention needy Jake is giving her. Its all about him being wrapped up in himself and her wanting a proper image and something/someone to keep her busy. the illusion of J-R romance it gives the public is a fun side benefit for them.

    ReplyDelete
  32. What a list of game. You're bad. Uncle Wiggly, Candyland, and Chutes and Ladders are ruined now.; )

    If Reese was there they would play SORRY! or Don't Break the Ice.

    I've begun to think that too - but where does that leave Austin? Was he the BFF now dropped, or was he the boyfriend now dropped?

  35. Having seen the photos of them entering the house in Notting Hill the house they are renting does look at bit exposed to me.

    can't be a mansion because I have the same front door

    So I'm not surprised to see this (although I'm not sure whether its true).

    can't she just leave the country

    ReplyDelete
  36. Also, I wouldn't believe anything that's written in the Daily Star. It makes the Sun look like the Times Literary Supplement in comparison.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Was gonna say, Meg - I was almost moved to post from work about that so yeah, a tub of salt with that one PLEASE.

    It's the worst day ever here for rain. I'm building an ark when I get home.

    ReplyDelete
  38. So I'm not surprised to see this (although I'm not sure whether its true) ...

    More BS about "poor" Reese.

    She wasn't upset by the paparazzi she booked for the Tate Modern pics.

    P.S. That "can't she just leave the country" picture of her is ... no words. LOL

    ReplyDelete
  39. The text from Meg's link-

    London life doesn’t seem to be agreeing with Reese ­Witherspoon, who yesterday fled her home and checked into a hotel. [Uh oh! Break-up!]

    The Hollywood star moved out of the rented Notting Hill pad she’s been sharing with beau Jake Gyllenhaal and into a suite at a London hotel.

    “She loved the surrounding area but didn’t like feeling so exposed,” a source tells theBuzz. “She wanted to feel more secure, so she decided to take the kids to a hotel for a couple of days.

    “Jake’s staying at the house [With Austin? Three's a crowd, Reese.] and she wants to come back soon though.”

    Reese flew into the UK to meet with film bosses and to spend time with boyfriend Jake, who is in London to film new movie Prince of Persia:The Sands of Time, with Bond Girl Gemma Arterton and Ben Kingsley.

    On Monday night, Reese and Jake enjoyed a cosy dinner at Scott’s restaurant in Mayfair. [Yeah, having Bruckheimer there as well must have made it that much more romantical.]

    But as well as feeling unhappy in the house, Oscar-winner Witherspoon, 32, was also said to be upset by the number of paparazzi outside the property. [Why? She called them!]

    Yesterday, the actress took her mind off things by doing some shopping [She does anything else?!] in Notting Hill before taking her two children – Ava and Deacon, from her marriage to Ryan Phillippe – to Tate Modern to check out the Cy Twombly exhibition and the street art display.

    “She looked like she was determined to enjoy her time with her children,” an onlooker tells theBuzz.

    “But then she was whisked away by a car for a quiet night in.” [without Jake, by the sound of it.]

  41. Love the commentary! ;)

  42. I wonder what the Babblers will make of her moving out? Sounds like a spat.

    ReplyDelete
  43. More BS. Word got out that she was "shacking" up with Jake and the kids in Notting Hill, a flat that she rented with her $$$$ by all reports, if anything, he should have moved out and stayed at a hotel, not her and the kids. The paps would loose interest if he moved out and she would have some peace.

    That place in Nottinhg hill was not private, they must have known the paps would be camped out there.


    I think she realized how it looked, and what happened to the nanny because you know that the nanny is there since there were several sightings of them out w/o the kids. Are the kids at the hotel with them?

  44. “She loved the surrounding area but didn’t like feeling so exposed,” a source tells theBuzz.

    Sorry Reese, you were too cheap to rent a mansion.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Word has been out for weeks, stressing the fact that she's going to be living with him. She must have known how it would look a long time ago. OK and Hello or whoever put the word out weeks ago.

    ReplyDelete
  46. I actually feel a bit sorry for Reese (maybe I am going soft in the head).

    I get the feeling the whole Notting Hill set up was her idea, sort of a fantasy romance a al Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts.

    Instead she's had to contend with Wimbledon for the past two weeks (no-ones going to be interested in her and Jake when Andy Murray and hunky Nadal were playing so well), what seems to be rampant knife crime in London, economic doom and gloom and then the wash out that is the British summer.

    Bet you don't have to wear an anorak in California in July.

    She's also been spotted in Boots (the UK's main chemist chain) buying cosmetics, which I'm sure will go down well with the Avon big wigs.

    (funnily enough, in addition to all this, Wimbledon the film seems to have been on almost permanent play on ITV2 for the past few days, so if Jake's pining after either Austin or Kirsten he'll have been able to moon overeither of them, which is a nice thought).

  47. Meg said 'I actually feel a bit sorry for Reese (maybe I am going soft in the head).'

    Her new name; Nutmeg

    ReplyDelete
  48. You really have to appreciate beautiful London, and its weather, and all the wonderful things it has to offer. Maybe it's just not for her. Maybe what looks wrong in the latest pics is she's not thrilled with it, or there was a spat of some kind.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Very funny commentary trouble in paradise. Very strange story, not sure what to think of it.

    That picture of Jake sure does look like it was taken somewhere else. For one thing, it lacks the sense of chaos I get from the other pictures, and those columns do look like the ones by the house, although the sidewalk looks different.

    ReplyDelete

    A pic of that would be soooo lovely.

    ReplyDelete
  51. True wondering, but it must of been a jolt to see the paps camped out in front, she should have been advised of the pitfalls.

    Also, Ryan mayhave ok'd the set up if she promised no pap picks of her, Jake and the kids. That would be hard to avoid if she stayed their with them.

    That's if the story is true, who knows.

    It was Hello magazine that spilled, funny though when repeated the kids were never mentione, just her so maybe there was an attempt to keep a lid on it for a bit.

    ReplyDelete
  52. True wondering, but it must of been a jolt to see the paps camped out in front, she should have been advised of the pitfalls.

    Reese is playing the Hollywood game for years and years - she does not need advices about PR and paparazzi, she's an expert.

  54. Oh I loved the British stores, Boots, Marks & Spencer, Fortnum & Mason, I think I was lost in Harrod's for three days running, it was great! My OH had business trips to the UK and Europe and I went with him on a few occasions. To see all of my idols in Westminster Abbey, and Big Ben, and the opening of Parliament, talking to people. Touristy, yes, but I loved it, and the weather. I'd love to visit again! :)

    ReplyDelete
  55. Picture of Reese returning from Scott's at the door step of the place in Notting Hill:

    http://img172.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=28242_Reese_122_972lo.jpg

    Just as I suspected, the paps stalked them all day. Just don't get why she and yes it was reported that she rented a place with no security/privacy. I guess she figured Ryan would blow a gasket if pics of all of them togehter would emerge.

    I guess it's the hotel with the kids and the nanny for the time being.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Meg said 'Wimbledon the film seems to have been on almost permanent play on ITV2 for the past few days'

    Maybe thats the Love score that broke the cameltoe generals back!

    ReplyDelete
  57. They're going to be stalked wherever they go by paps, they know it and they would have taken steps to lessen or prevent it well beforehand. It was a good idea to go when there was a lot of other things going on to keep the paps occupied. But something isn't right.

    ReplyDelete
  58. good thing Austy isnt well known [yet]. wonder if he's a 'unidentified London tourist' a 'unidentified London shopper' just like how he was the 'unidentified partygoer' in those fashion week pics!

    ReplyDelete
  59. I sure hope so! :)

    ReplyDelete
  60. When they first arrived over there, Wimbleton, the Mandela celebrations and several concerts at Hyde park were going on, the paps had other things to do then camp out on thei steps.

    Once that was all over, then they set up in front of their place, they must have been naive tothink they just found out where they were, but most likely they knew all along but had beter things to do.

    I also believe IMO the kids and the nanny were at this hotel already with Reese stopping by to check up on them, etc. For some reason I don't think the nanny and the kids were at Notting hill, and you know that a nanny was flown in because there were too many sightings of them w/o the kids.

    Now that he focus was on them some would wonder where are the kids, if word got out that they were reallyat a hotel with the nanny, how would that look? So voila! Reese is stressed and took the kids to a hotel for a few days, yeah right.

    ReplyDelete
  61. My guess about that story? I think Reese as well as the kids have been staying at that hotel all along, and when that paper found out they concocted the story about paps bothering her and the kids. And pap, it makes no sense that the nanny and kids would stay in one place, Reese in another. I can't imagine a good mother like Reese doing that.

  63. Still thinking about the waiter at the Kate Manitelli restaurant in LA who had Jaustin at his table few years ago who said they couldnt keep their hands off each other and said 'two straight guys don't touch each other like that'. I always remember what this waiter said when I see the crap Reeke pics, of Jake with his friend-girl Reese and the drama the rags want people to buy and the st8 pr it creates.

    Truth is, selling st8 Jake is a money pit. Jarhead was the 1st clue. st8 military male friends of mine liked the movie and Jake as a actor but for some reasons *know* [gut feelings-intuition] he's not completly st8. But it dosent bother them, they just *know* thats the way it is.

    Imo PoP will be like Jh. Good, will do better on DVD, and no ones gonna believe Jake is st8. Not because people are homophobic [HW doesn't credit people like they should - the world is changing] but because people know they are being played with PR stories [again HW doesnt credit the general public with knowing its being sold a manufactured image of an actor].

    ReplyDelete
  64. That could be it. First the UK press said she rented the flat with her and the kids then they said that she would be staying at his flat. All the sightings of them shopping in Portebello, dining, jogging, the concert were all legit but it just could have been her visiting Notting hill or the hotel is near by.

    The Hello story was probably blown out of proportion, maybe she was helping him with getting a place there and her name came up because I would think she would have chosen a more secure place.

    The pictures of them earlier in the day at the Notting Hill place could have been just them coming from some place.

    I think now that she has been visiting him there and he maybe stopped by the hotel. The whole living together even for a few months in the UK is something that I don't think she wanted out there, if you noticed, no US rag ever picked up the UK angle of them living together just the US/Brentwood story, and that was just a "story"about how they are practically living together but he still has his own place, like the set up in the UK.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Ryan wouldn't care about J&R pics, but of J&R and the kids, yes I think.

  66. The Hello story was probably blown out of proportion, maybe she was helping him with getting a place there and her name came up because I would think she would have chosen a more secure place.

    US Magazine with Reese on the cover made the point that "Jake moved in" with Reese.

    Reese made the point to be seen on the LAX (we didn't see Jake, we didn't see the kids).

    PR used US magazine to announce that Reese is in London with Jake (she's staying at the hotel).

    PR used UK rags to announce that Reese and the kids will be living with Jake in the UK.

  70. ITA Destiny that Reese has been at the Hotel with kids all along but making it look like shs'e living with Jake. Great PR for everybody if it looks like she and the kids and Jake are living together- Jake the sex symbol getting alot of het sex, Reeke one step closer to engaged, being a happy family, Jake being straight, payback to Ryan, Reese is redeemed. No downside to the 'living together in London' story unless you count truth.

  72. The headlines were "Jake Moves In" if I recall. So it would stand to reason that they'd all be together in London, kids, nanny, and Ryan I'm sure would be well aware, since he's moving along himself.

    ReplyDelete
  73. 'two straight guys don't touch each other like that'.

    Bingo. My fav part.

    The story's not in the rags or all over the internet, only on 1 site in a old archived post and hard to find.

    ReplyDelete
  74. People are waaay overstating English pap interest in Reese - no way would paps follow her around the huge distances are being described. This is deliberate creation of drama, and it's scarily obvious when it's happening on one's own territory.

    Jake and other HW celebs will be papped at posh restaurants and photographed on red carpets, and that's it. Other press attention is reserved for trainwrecks and drama queens.

    ITA Meg about the Notting Hill fantasy. A little misplaced for somewhere that is far from fully gentrified. Even so, I did say £1.9 mill wouldn't go far there, but I'm trying to staunch my tears.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Well, it'll be interesting to see if this is all true about "her & the kids moving out of the Notting Hill place". Because of the paps? That'd be a hard one to believe. It was trumpeted all over that they were all staying there so it'd be a surprise to be staked out there? Come on.

    Y'all are killin me today. Nutmeg. lol! Didn't like feeling so exposed guffaw! what a laugh! too cheap to rent a mansion snicker!

    Even if it's not true, it's fun reading.

  76. Is this like a rainy season for London? What's the average temperature over there this time of year? Or is it just one of those deals where front system after front system is going through? I'm afraid I'm in the dark.

    ReplyDelete
  77. The US/Uk rags knew that Reese and the kids were going to be joining Jake in London while he was filming, they spun it into living together in Brentwood (although the story made sure they said that Jake still had his pad in hh, not exactly moving in).

    Methinks that Jake rented the place in Notting hill and that it was assumed they would be staying there and their PR never bothered to correct them.

    If she and the kids and the nanny were at the hotel all along then how would you explain the picture linked above of Reese arriving at the Notting hill place with front door and address visiable? Why didn't she just have the driver drop her off at the hotel from Scotts? And she was papped there earlier in the day, plus all the sightings were in Notting hill, so she is spending alot of time there and her hotel is near by.The spin of her taking the kids to stay at the hotel may be because they saw her going back and forth there and was wondering why.

    So it's the same arrangement they have in the states.

    PS: Ryan has not seen any pics of Jake, reese and the kids from the UK and the ones in the US have been less. Probably part of the agreement to havng the kids over there.

  78. I said Jack, people are waaay overstating the interest. I live here and it just isn't like that :)

  79. I think we can all agree the stories have been spun. :)

  80. There aren't really many decent hotels round Notting Hill. If Reese has gone to a hotel it'll be in the middle of town.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Something is up that's for sure. No way in hell it was supposed to go down like this. My vote is that the kids just got there within the past few days and they are at a hotel with their nanny not the house with Reese and Jake. That could have been the plan all along but I doubt it. As far as not knowing what the paparazzi situation is in London that is just not true. Reese has spent considerable time there. She would know exactly what to expect.

  84. Yeh can hardly wait for Ava to write that book.

  85. It would be very confusing for Deacon and Ava to be moved around like that. First staying with Reeke, then moving to a hotel. Think of your children, MOTY! (Mom of the Year)

  86. still waiting for the pics of reeke at the tomcat housewarming party. do ya think they mighta gotten mixed up and lost with the heath funeral memorial pics?

    ReplyDelete
  87. Maybe Jake is staying somewhere else?

  88. ITA with London tb and tr.

    Reese knows her way in London. She filmed at least two movies there (“The importance of being Earnest” and “Vanity fair”).

    The british paps are not interested in Reese or Reeke enough to follow them around. They have a lot of high profile celebrities who live in London and give them more money. They often hunt around places like that restaurant Reeke went with Bruckheimer and Reeke´s PR probably tipped the paps that they were there. Those pics worked to create the illusion they are always hunted by paps.

    Maybe they are staging an excuse to blame the paps if Reese is not really living with Jake in Notting Hill or if she goes back to the US soon. Something is fishy.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Just a hunch but I think Reese might be back in the US end of this week or next week.

    ReplyDelete
  90. I imagine the UK paps are not interested in reeke because lets be honest the UK public couldn't give a flying f*** about them.

    On my way home tonight I had a quick scan at this week's tabloids. Now lets think, the 'hottest' couple have graced us poor brits with their presnece for at least two weeks so you would expect the tabloids to be going crazy. Well, no, in fact I couldn't find a single mention of them. The sighting of reese at boots was in the Metro (the daily free sheet which basically reprints stuff from the internet because it can't afford to pay for real reporters).

    The sooner Reese quits these shores the better. Austin on the other hand is welcome to stay as long as he wants.

  95. Megagain and PG Prairie Girl, you 2 are a blast to read. keep up the great comments!

  96. Reese is very PR savy. There's no way she rented a house in Notting Hill and didn't know that it's not gated and no security. Also, she wants people to know she's the perfect girlfriend, flying to London and staying with her boyfriend while he films his movie. Reese is definitely very PR savy. I also don't think the kids have always been staying at a hotel, because someone on the staff would have aready blabbed to the press. English press is much more rabid that U.S. press. Maybe, this will be thing beginning of the dissolution of Reeke. Remember, they have great excuses to use, to much time apart, to much stress with the paps, the kids to stressed out, etc.

    Just when I thought Reese can't look any worse ... LOL

  98. "Reese channels her inner Pat Butcher"

    Unless someone dressed her for some kind of premeire, she has a horrible sense of style. Also, doesn't she get bored of shopping every day? How many things can you buy even if you have millions in the bank?

    ReplyDelete
  99. Reese also filmed "Penelope" in London. She stayed in London many times.

    i dont like to make fun of anyones looks but srsly is that a growth on her chin? her chin doesnt look normal. scary.

    ReplyDelete
  101. Pat Butcher was never that low-key :) I've actually coveted that exact coat Reese has just bought
    (£120).

    But again, Spitalfields Market? I'm sorry, *there are no paps in Spitalfields Market, ever*. Give me a break, as Ted would say.

    Yeah Austin can stay as long as he likes :)

    ReplyDelete
  102. 'How many things can you buy even if you have millions in the bank?' -wondering

    well she only does charity if she gets paid for it and she only takes the kids anywhere alone only if its for a couple of hours, no more. so how else can she spend her time besides shopping and pap photo op appts?

  103. london tb said *there are no paps in Spitalfields Market, ever*

    now you know how the paps 'appear' at pig farms, state parks and other remote places in LA.

  104. You know I always suspected, but yeah it's good to KNOW :)

  105. Just a little bit of info on how Spitalfields Market got its name:

    Its name is a contraction of 'hospital fields', in reference to "The Priory of Canons, and Hospital for poor brethren, of the Order of St Austin".

    I thought it had to do with spitting in a field. Cannons and orders and Austin? Spitting in a dark WeHo parking lot? Yeah that explains it!

  108. Oh all that happens when you're defending budgets.

    Rainy days are good sometimes.

    Glad everyone liked the song. Thought about Gene Kelly walking down the street singing dancing and in love. Then thought about someone else singing along with as much joy about his boy in Rain Go Go Away Boots.

  109. Funny how todays pic of only Austins funky boots gets me excited and sexy and the whole pic of Jake in his hoody does....nothing.

    ReplyDelete
  110. ok today the blogs hoody pic..all it does is remind me of reeke even tho the pic is Jake alone. he looks so sexless and alone and no energy, so it does nothing for me. Austins boots have more sex and energy than Jakes whole body in those 2 pics.

    ReplyDelete
  111. i hope Jake sees that pic of himself that you have up today. i hope he compares it to pics a year ago, 2 years ago, 3 years ago. i hope he wonders about the change. i hope he makes a change. i pray he has hope left to try.

  114. Okay, just got back from Borders. Jake had 3 movies in the $ 7.99 sale bin: Jarhead, The Good Girl, and October Sky. What is up with that? 2 of those 3 were good movies (not so sure about The Good Girl - that one was pretty creepy). I did get The Order. I thought that one was pretty good; mostly I just want to gaze @ Heath in his priest's collar. When I asked my mom over the weekend if she had seen that movie & that Heath made about the hottest looking priest ever, she (being a staunch Catholic) gave me the evil eye. Whoops. Not a good comment, I guess.

    ReplyDelete
  115. Everyone's comments covered the topic throughly, so not much for me to add. I've noted in the past that when Jake is really upset, he gets a deep vertical crease between his eyebrows. This comes from 2 years + of IHJ picture analysis. Not seen often, but he displayed that crease leaving the restaurant, so I figured something was up. I would not be surprised if more news follows. Don't ask me to point out old pics with the crease. I don't haunt IHJ as much anymore, but I stored that tell in my memory banks for future use.

    It's karma that the movie Wimbeldon was being shown so often.

    ReplyDelete
  116. Wow, m, that's sharp to notice something like that. But that is what one can notice when you study pictures, especially for a long while like you have. I hadn't even heard of Jake until about 2 yrs ago, that's why I'm just now seeing all of his films. Just barely saw BBM about 2 yrs ago; ha, guess that's when I discovered Mr G. But it's been nothing but search, search, search on the ol' Google engine ever since and it's amazing what you can see in pictures.

  117. Crows feet you get from smiling.

    Laugh lines from grinning and kissin.

    The crease is from Reese.

    ReplyDelete
  118. ROFLMAO "laugh lines" - ain't that the truth??!!

    I agree with M,the latest happenings and upheavals in Gyllen-world have been comprehensively covered here and I can't really improve on all that's been said already.

    However I do have to stress how emphatically I concur with "doesn't he see?" at 6.46 pm yesterday. I, too, hope with all my heart that Jake realises very soon what sad changes his recent choices have wrought in him and pray too that he doesn't shut out the very people who love him enough to get him back on track again. I have to keep convincing myself that the Jake I love is still in there somewhere...and that he'll be back before too long.
