...and baby makes three
Dear Ted:
Please don't be like Toothy himself when asked a tough question. Just give a simple answer. A yes or no will do. No beating around the bush or skirting the issue. Is there a Baby Tile?
—Tom, Mt. Laurel
Dear Gay Shooter:
Yes.
Mr. Peabody & His Boy Sherman"Sherman set the WaBac machine to Montreal November 2002"
"Why Mr. Peabody?"
"To see where it all began my boy, to see where it all began."
"What began?"
"Toothy Tile"
"Hey Mr. Peabody?"
"Yes Sherman, my boy."
"What was going between them?"
"Well Sherman, looks like they were falling hard. "
"Like Galileo and rocks?"
"No Sherman, not like rocks."
"Wasn't he supposed to fall for the girl."
"Simplistic answer from a simple boy. The answer is you fall for who you fall for. "
"Hey Mr. Peabody, did Austin steal Jake's coat and keep it?"
"We'll have to see."
"Mr. Peabody, did they think that they would be here six years later?"
"Sherman this is the WABAC machine, I can't predict the future. "
"How does a Tooth and a Goose have a baby?"
"Sherman that's a story for another time and another channel"
And you just can't make this stuff up moment:
Remember Destiny's story about the women in the nail salon talking about the friend of her husband who worked on TDAT, and had a new movie out called Traitor, well Jeffery Nachmanoff has another project. He's a co-writer on Prince of Persia.
Nachmanoff on His Next Project
He's finished helping write the Jake Gyllenhaal-led Prince of Persia and surely has other scripts on the horizon, but what about Nachmanoff's next directing endeavor? While he hasn't gone blockbuster big with Traitor, he has aimed pretty high and challenged himself right out of the gate. I'm definitely interested what he does next, but it looks like we don't have an answer what that might be just yet.
Nachmanoff: "I don't know. I'm looking for something that I can also get excited about as this project… something that I feel is as ambitious and thought-provoking, but also entertaining for an audience. I haven't found exactly the right thing. Obviously, The Day After Tomorrow and Prince of Persia are on this really big Hollywood scale — I don't think that's probably what I would go to next as a director. But, I like good story-telling. And maybe, like Guy, who's done every type of movie you can imagine… I would aspire to have such a varied career. It's harder for a director to have as varied career as an actor, because you just don't get as many at-bats. And, frankly, it's hard to come up with the ideas for a new movie. But, I guess I would make any movie that I would like to go see."
Here's the interview.

great post as usual! gah, that top tdat pic looks like they're looking at the green baby poopy diaper and saying to each other 'holy shit i'm not getting near it, you change it!'
Wow. That's all I can say is wow. And that I wish them all the best; for their careers, family, and each other. Wow! :)
Don't worry there will be a baby song or two or three or... in the upcoming OMG music files.
This is from the comments on Awful Truth.
Ms a said "You really need to examine your motives and stop blackmailing gossip columnist and their interns with exposure." What??! You think Tom from Laurel blackmails Ted?!! Omg what a laugh! Ms A your crazy!
Now Tom fess up, are you blackmailing Ted? Do you have the dirt on him? Is that the real reason he answers your emails? :D
Now Tom fess up, are you blackmailing Ted?
Could be! I bet Tom has indisputable proof that Ted Casablanca is gay.
Thanks Special k for the lovely post. It's great!
Can't wait to read the next chapter of the story about a Tooth and a Goose and their baby ;)
Ted has opened Pandora's box for sure. Baby Tile will be the subject of much speculation in future columns and comments, I am sure. I bet Jake's PR is having an absolute meltdown.
Love the "like Galileo and rocks" imagry. So true, we love who we love. No getting aorund it.
Now we need to know the baby's sex. Boy or girl. I am thinking boy based on the Kidman reference earlier, it's implying that it's not a girl.
Oookaay, so Ted is saying BT exists - in utero or born? Not sure what to think.
A couple of things occurred to me:
SK, you showed an old picture recently of Jake leaving a doctor's office carrying what looked amazingly like a baby scan picture - when was that from?
Also when was that official registration of an Austin (Don?) Nichols for something (birth, death, marriage)on the public records. Bet you wish you'd paid for access at the time!
Phew. Geez, what was unleashed earlier this morning?
Misogynistic mi·sog·y·nis·tic (m-sj-nstk) also mi·sog·y·nous (-sj-ns)

Am I going to have to go get my Masters to keep up here? I come back from my walk, go back to bed, wake up 3 hrs later, and come back to that torrent of flying tongues? Giminy's. I'm going to miss this place in another month. It really gets the blood pumping. Will be back to address that "misogynistic" in a minute.
the first letter in ted's column is from Siphesihle. Siphesihle means 'we are grateful' and its aslo a nursing school in south africa.
Max
The picture of happy Jake with something that looked amazingly like a baby scan picture - was from Sept 4 2007.
re keeping the baby quiet -its possible that the baby is not completely healthy.
Sure is nice talking about Jake and Austin again!
Re Ted's latest- I think it's pretty clear that Ted is saying that he believes Baby Tile is here and not in utero. My feelings on the ethical ramifications of this are well known so I won't re-state them. Personally I will remain doubtful until I see J&A pushing a baby carriage.
Our song today seems not to be working right now. I just checked and it appears the song host site is down. Hopefully it will be back up soon. If not, I will upload the song to a different song host site when I get a chance. This record is glorious and will definitely be in my top 10 of the year. I really want people to hear it. Oh well. Technology is so great when it works.
While some will rack this up on the list of atrocities for Jake, can I just have to say I'm happy for them.
I'm happy they have found each other back on the TDAT set. Happy they found what people spend the whole lives looking for, what writers write about, and singers sing about. And happy that a child came from that love.
You may argue all you wanted about all the other things surrounding this, but you can't argue that this child was brought into this world by two people who love each other and wanted a child to share that that love too.
Wicked,
It seems to be playing alright for me. Is it not "He Doesn't Know Why?" I like it, whatever it is!It sounds sorta 40's-50's ish.
Hey Joker! Good to see you again.
I'm happy they have found each other back on the TDAT set. Happy they found what people spend the whole lives looking for, what writers write about, and singers sing about. And happy that a child came from that love.
You may argue all you wanted about all the other things surrounding this, but you can't argue that this child was brought into this world by two people who love each other and wanted a child to share that that love too.
I had to reprint this; I totally agree. It's wonderful, wonderful! I'm a lost cause, what can I say? ;)
I haven't been able to play today's song because I'm at work, but I'm dying to. It's very intriguing, so I'll listen when I get home.
I bet Ted had this song rolling around in his head when he answered Tom's email.
The lyrics are so apropos, don't you think?
"Also when was that official registration of an Austin (Don?) Nichols for something (birth, death, marriage)on the public records. Bet you wish you'd paid for access at the time!"
Can you answer this as well Special?
If there is a Baby Tile, how will it work out when BT becomes known? You can't hide a baby forever. And if it did become known, people would do the math and see that Jake was fauxmancing Reese Witherspoon while secretly hiding a baby with his BF. How does that make anyone look good? Even if they play the "Reese was just being a good friend and helping me hide my family" card, I think they all (Jake, Reese, and Austin) end up looking like liars. And I don't see Reese signing on for this plan. Just don't see it. If there is a Baby Tile, Reese would know about it and would have to agree to do this fauxmance under those conditions. Tell me how it all comes out and is not a complete PR disaster. People really don't like being liked to, whatever the reason.
That should be- people really don't like being LIED to.
Well, I'm just open to the possibility of there being a BT. J&R have never really come out and confirmed their relationship, so until then, I'm keeping my mind open. I think those close to J&A know about BT, and I really think the public at large doesn't have to be included, unless J&A decide to do so. But however it turns out, J&A or J&R, remains to be seen. I don't think they'll look like liars when you consider all the pressures, both societal and HW, plus shielding a child and themselves from paparazzi, vicious gossip and sanctimonious opinions. Look what's happening with Ricky Martin from the church. I also believe that if there is a child, the keeping quiet is only temporary. He or she is very young now; and when the time comes and they are able to understand, the whys can be explained, with much love, much the same as is done in divorce, single parenthood and similar things. :)
"Tell me how it all comes out and is not a complete PR disaster."
They can say that they are very close friends and that Reese being such a good and experienced mother helps them with the baby and that she is the godmother of Baby Tile.
As somebody recently mentioned Austin could say he had a baby with an ex-gf - although I would hope he wouldn't.
"Also when was that official registration of an Austin (Don?) Nichols for something (birth, death, marriage)on the public records. Bet you wish you'd paid for access at the time!"
Max - that was around last December or so. And yeah kind of kicking myself.
I wonder about all that too Wicked.
I don't think that all this was what they originally intended. I know a lot of what follows is pure speculation, but remember how last spring we saw so much of J&A despite some whisperings about Reese? And then in the summer we get a story from Ted about someone blabbing about a timetable for coming out, and another one about TT talking to magazines? I think it is possible they were talking about coming out when the baby arrived--and I think the baby was born last fall, probably in October around the time that JJ said (he may'be been a fool, but I do think he may've been fed information from someone.)
I think last spring Reeke may've been mostly about promoting Rendition. And at that point anything could have been laughed off as being made up by the tabloids. After all we didn't even get any real pictures of them together until what, July?
But then we get Rome, which imo was triggered by Ted's digital dance story. I think at some point during the summer they changed their minds about coming out, probably because of work or potential work for Jake. But my guess is that Reeke would have died after Rendition came out if not for J&A getting caught.
Now I know I get accused of unfairly cutting Austin more slack than Jake, but I think he was between a rock and hard place at that point. Here they were with a baby, or the baby was about to be born, and Jake is probably in a panic and in fear for his career. If Jake insisted on the Reeking, there wasn't much Austin could do short of walking out, something that realistically no one with a new baby is going to do. And, to use Ted's words, G.G. was hooked.
Now I know this is all just a theory, but it's the one that makes the most sense to me. And as for Wicked's question, Rome happened so fast that I don't think anyone involved thought about the long-term implications. Of course none of this explains why it keeps going on and they seem to be making it more difficult to untangle themselves, especially once they really started pushing Jake as Ava and Deacon's new daddy, and Paris as a family vacation.
By the way, love today's post Special. TDAT, Sherman and Mr. Peabody always make me smile. And that is too funny about Nachmanoff.
Dest-
I have friends who call me Peabody especially when the need Bar Trivia questions answered and cheat and call from the bathroom.
As soon as I saw the article on Nachmanoff, I thought if she would have seen this before getting her nails done. Man the questions she would have thought to ask.
^ the need = they need
Now I'm beginning to regret not giving in to the crazy and grilling her. :-D
And if it did become known, people would do the math and see that Jake was fauxmancing Reese Witherspoon while secretly hiding a baby with his BF.
And what if someone outs Jake next week? No math would be needed to see that Reeke is a fauxmance. There is always a risk and Reese is obviously OK with that. The risk is small but it is real. (See Senator John Edwards Caught With Mistress and Love Child.)
Jake's goddaughter has her daddy's spirit Mahtilda on the Run
Look what Jake and Austin look forward to.
She is absolutely beautiful. :)
So they planned the baby (and planning a baby in their situation needs some time) and they planned a coming out - and I am sure this is also something that has to be discussed etc. and then *bang* Jake suddenly is in panic about his career? That makes no sense to me.
And why take the bearding that far? It would have been enough to show up with Reese from time to time holding hands or walking the dogs - but it looks like spend nearly every minute together - holidays in Mexico, London, Paris, now Reese in Morocco - absolutly not necessary.
If the baby is real there is no chance they will be able to hide it for long - someone will talk, a blogger will take a picture...if BT is real I will lose all respect for Jake, Austin and anyone involved in this charade...I hope Ted is wrong...
It would have been enough to show up with Reese from time to time holding hands or walking the dogs ...
Enough for Jake, not enough for idle Reese.
In French, no less!
Maybe Frenchy could translate for us.
Del Martin has died - RIP and thank you, Del.
I think that life doesn't always make sense, but I'm open to hearing any other theories people might have on all this.
And I agree with two must play, and that it is likely that Reese put conditions on the bearding in return for going full force with the charade. It's also possible the recent escalation is coming from Disney, not only because they want attention for the movie, but because they think throwing more wood on the fire will create enough smoke to kill the rumors.
HW, I'm not sure where you're coming from. I don't think you're a regular here because otherwise you'd already know that alot of people here don't care for Reese. Not because she's with Jake, but because of her apparent negative influence on him and her personality in general. And before anybody jumps down my throat about how I think Jake's a saint, I'm not saying that. Heavens, hasn't anybody here seen my tirades on some of Reeke's behavior and some of his? I was discussing the NE story, not disputing any of his part played in Reeke. I don't like people being under a misrepresentation of what I was saying or how I feel. So I needed to clear that up; not that HW is still lurking around. But just in case.
And no, I don't have a case of "misogynistic"ism. If he were hetero, I would wish him & Jennifer Anniston would hook up. Altho she is even older than Reese, lol! But in the ideal world, ok? I have alot of female friends and don't harbor hatred towards females, as no one on this website has ever harbored. That was a pretty harsh statement.
HW, I'm not sure where you're coming from.
pg we KNOW where hw came from and it starts with a b!
"Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin Among the most beloved figures in the lesbian community, Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon got married in San Francisco on February 12, 2004. A couple since 1953, they first earned a spot in queer history by founding the first national lesbian organization, the Daughters of Bilitis.
From its modest beginnings with eight members in 1955, the Daughters of Bilitis grew into a major force, helping lesbians meet outside of bars, documenting their lives, and promoting civil rights.
Perhaps even more significant, the organization published "The Ladder," a national newsletter for lesbians. Phyllis, as editor, assumed an alias for the first three issues before coming out in print with her real name.
D.O.B. soon opened chapters in a dozen U.S. cities -- and even Melbourne, Australia. Its first national convention, in San Francisco in 1960, was well attended, despite unwanted publicity.
Today, Martin and Lyon are involved in issues such as social security, Medicare and social justice for older Americans. Both were appointed delegates to the 1995 White House Conference on Aging.
The San Francisco-based Lyon-Martin Women's Health Services Center, which they co-founded in 1979, recently overcame financial woes and continues to serve the needs of lesbians and other women.
The city of San Francisco honored Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon when it issued them the first-ever government-sanctioned marriage license in 2004. City Supervisor Mabel Teng presided over the closed-door ceremony. The two women also guaranteed themselves another battle, as the licenses were issued in the midst of a national debate over same-sex marriage. Here's wishing them many happy anniversaries."
I know I said I'd be back in a minute, but there were alot of commercial interruptions between that statement & now, LOL!
And under more ideal circumstances (sans Reeke), I would be ecstatic about a baby Tile. In total agreement that if Jake & Austin found that once in a lifetime love on the set of TDAT, that's something beyond words - beautiful will do for now. And if they wanted to have a baby together, I'm not against that either. I'd love to see it. I'd love nothing more than to see them on TMZ together, with the baby. I'd pay to see the picture.
But it's all this Reeke that is taking the fuzziness from around this picture for me. I think I've expressed this before, but really, one has to try & put yourself into these shoes. If you had a spouse/partner/gf/bf and they needed to perform a Reeke Symphony in order for you to have a life together, albeit a small life together, how long could you be happy about it? Seeing them in hugs, clutches, family trips touting that family as the one & true family, mornings together suggesting a previous night spent together, articles in rags trumpeting the fact that the beard loved your sig. other with a smooth chest (if you're male, lol!!), on and on and on. How long can you stomach that? You can't talk to your workmates about your relationship. You can't take your sig. other to public events. You're hiding, hiding, hiding and those walls just keep closing in on you. And this baby is raised under these circumstances. For how long? Hopefully only while he/she's too little to remember.
I am still sorting all this out. My lippiness above is my first gut reaction. I'm open to anything, believe me. I am reading all of these opinions and dissecting them. Every one has a great or valid point and I'm always changing my mind back & forth on things. I think it's absolutely wonderful that we can all air this out & voice our feelings and I love you all for it.
It's a heavy subject and it involves one's own personal ethics, morals, and all that inside stuff that we don't let others see for fear of what they might think of us. That it might change their opinion of us. As a personal sufferer of social anxiety, I know all about it and hope I'm not projecting my own feelings onto anyone who doesn't feel that way at all.
other with a smooth chest (if you're male, lol!!),
PG, LOL!
Love the Reeke Symphony name. Or should it be Reeke SymPhony? Reeke HymPhony?!! Any way they play it its in the key of B Flat!
Del and Phyllis had a life long love and what came from it touched many more lives than they could have ever imagined.
It is bittersweet to think that they did get to live long enough that their desired to be legally married was fulfilled, but now Phyllis will now have to remember Del on their anniversary and not celebrate it with her.
In the Reeke SymPhony the Paris 'family vacation' was the part written for the French Horn. French Horns aren't French and they aren't horns
One of the great things about this site is that as long as we use a name and keep it polite, we can say what we think. And I always enjoy reading what other people have to say here, even when I don't agree with it.
P.S. Not to mention learning things like the fact that French Horns are neither French nor horns. LOL.
I am so said to hear about Del Martin. Phyllis was by her side when she died.

If this don't getcha, nothing will.
SymPhony!! LOLLL!!. Phew, I was wound just a little too tight, gotta loosen the collar of my T shirt. Thanks to everyone for the levity, I needed that! : )
Hey, and that deal with the smooth, hairless chest, Hole Note? Actually I think I recalled that one wrong. I had an article in one of my earlier issues of the OL' STAR MAG, about Reese liking Jake early in their "relationship" because he had hair on his chest and she wanted him to keep it on; I wish I could recall all of it. I can't remember if it talked about her not wanting him to shave it or if it insinuated that Ryan P. didn't have much hair on his chest. The ol' memory is shooting blanks right .
Mmmmm. Jake's chest hair. Dang.
I didn't know about Del Martin. Truly one of the great pioneers of the gay rights movement. :-(
That was a really interesting, inspiring story about Del Martin. I had no idea. 55 years together is absolutely incredible. My parents have been together almost that long, short by a couple. In this day & age, it is truly a treasure. They were so fortunate to have each other. And when you've been together that long, it's so tragic when 1/2 of the union goes. So sad for the remaining one. I feel for her partner, who must be hurting so much right now.
"If there is a Baby Tile, how will it work out when BT becomes known? You can't hide a baby forever.

agree with you 100% Wicked! Not jumping on this train until I see the evidence. still Jake, Reese, and Austin will be (fucked). Sorry for my language. Something like this does not turn out right to the viewing public. PR disaster IMO. Only gullable fans will fall for this and think it's OK!!! Sorry,Speaking my mind again. But, after some years, some will forget be understanding or move on.
Good to hear your opinion, Eastcoastfan. This subject seems to strike a strong chord with everyone.
I am tempted to post over there on WFT2. They had quite the thread going over there, badmouthing OMG'ers. I used to respect quite a bit of the serious posts over there, mind you, the serious ones (they also post alot of fun nonsense), but now my opinion has fallen quite a bit seeing's how some of them feel. Had no idea. One person stuck up for OMG'ers and said there was a difference of opinion going on here. But only one. I don't think I will, tho. I'm too shy, LOL!
I've wondered if the Baby Tile story was put out by Jake's people to find out if one of their number was talking to Ted. Maybe Ted's comment about how male assistants gossip too much and Jake only wants female assistants has something to do with it. I don't know.
I'd be willing to bet a good portion (but not all) of the posters badmouthing OMG are babblers and trolls. They know they can't do it here, so they post wherever they can, because, don't you know, we're blackmailing Ted into writing about TT. :-D We've even taken advantage of the "mentally ill" and put Tom up to writing letters on our behalf. :-D
Sue, people had that thought about Baby Tile when Ted first brought up the subject, especially after he seemed to drop it and the Reeking started. I don't think that is the case now.
Gah, I love this song - I'm not sure who they remind me of, Neil Young, sort of . . . I'm not sure, but I really love it. Love the ending. :)
I've fallen in love with Fleet Foxxes. I see what you mean PG, there's a Roy Orbison quality about it too, "There's Nothing I Can Saaaa-aaaay" and the guitar in that part, but overall it reminds me of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Very interesting sound. They describe their music as baroque harmonic pop - they do sound that way, maybe the key its in. Very nice. Most of the music at OMG is great, but every now and then there's one that knocks me out, and this is it today. :)
Very sorry to hear about Del Martin; I'm happy that she and her partner were together for 55 years, and were able to get married. :')
Baby Tile: I just want to see where it goes - I am open to the possibility of there being a baby, and if I am wrong, so be it. Wouldn't be the first time, but I just think there's something to it.
I was so sad to read on Perez about Del Martin. Remembered her from her wedding-photos. I`m just glad in this grief for Phyllis, she could at least be with Del martin, when she past away, as her legal wife.Really sad so soon after their wedding:(
I have always believed in baby-Tile, though i ask myself the same question as Wicked when it comes to Reese and her part in this game.
I just think Jake and Austin wanted this baby because they were in love and insante. That`s it.
Reese were in a despearate situation, so was Jake. Maybe the tabloids knew about Jake and gave him some pressure(as they do in Norway, at least) to make him confess or fead the tabloids regularly with something else big(Reese). Just a guess from me.., but at least that`s how it sometimes work in my country.
Anyway...even though neither part have confirmed something, they`re still 50-50 apart of this fauxmance, as i see it. Pressure one way or the other or not, they`re both adults with their own personal point of view!
I just don`t think there ever was a long-termed-plan. Just desperation for some months ahead. Whaterver comes will come.
My point is: I think they just created full-bearded Reeke out of desperation, and don`t know where to go. If the tabloids one day have a cover-story of Jake with his man and kid... guess there will at least be a couple of months since everyone knew Reeke had ended their "relationship", because we who read about celebrities are quite stupid, right? we forget and forgive fast!...0r so i have the impression very often celebrities give of their fans by playing "heroes" ( maybe more stupid than their fans!) in the tabloids.
Everyone has been frustrated a some point or more over the past 9 months, some more than others, but everyone has been.
But I keep trying to find those small glimmer of good things. But somehow those moments are becoming mere seconds before be taken from me. Pictures of Austin,with his blue ring back on, hell any pictures of Austin, pictures of him with a gold ring where he blue one was, they were just rolled over in, Jake doing a PSA getting to hear him after all those months of only seeing picture - next, the picture of Austin with what is suspiciously looks like Jake in the picture with him well at least his legs, moving on, and now after almost two years, we get something from Ted that says YES there is a baby tile, and that too is just fodder for something else.
See some of us need those moments, need those tiny things, they are little respites in this long journey. Maybe the rest of you don't but I do. And I don't think I'm alone.
I can see you`re point of view to some points, Special. (Always glad you help me in a good mood, though;), but IF there is a baby,i just can`t help getting a little depressed. I have three of my own and taking care of a fourth one three days a week for some neighbours. Kids should ALWAYS be your first priority. Of course, you sometimes need some time without them, but that`s healthy.
I wouldn`t mind if Jake and Austin had a baby and planned to come out when the kid got older, kinf of to prioritate they`re personal life. BUT, if he does that by pretending to be with another partner than who`m he`s really with and playing father to some other kids than his own, that to me just doesn`t seem right at all. Why the need to have a pretend family so desperately if you`re not ashamed of you`re own?
I think Jake will be a great father if he`s honest to himself...and the media, but only then! If he wasn`t ashamed...why try the "perfect family"?
Tell me how it all comes out and is not a complete PR disaster.
The only way out I see is the one some other posters have more or less alluded to yesterday, namely that Reeke will claim they love each other so much they have adopted a baby, this baby being Baby Tile.
This way Jake can be seen in the open with his child without any fear and since this is an "adoption", Reese won't have to endure the rumors that are still plaguing Katby Holmes & Suri.
Also, BT will be a much welcome accessory to make the fauxmance more "legit".
I've written the above with Jake in mind as the biological father.
Now let's suppose Austin is the biological father. He just has to pretend he's a good friend of the family who cares a lot for that child (in private of course, we won't see any of his super-hush-hush visits and caring). BT grows up not knowing who his/her real father is. Maybe they'll tell him/her at the age of 12? 13? Later?
If you think this last paragraph is totally crazy, let me tell you that I've just described more or less what happened to Orlando Bloom, whose real father is a guy named Stone.
reeke/pr won't feel bad about the fauxmance/bearding if the baby is found out because reeke never confirmed a romantic relationship. if you look at the history you'll see that the tabloids and blogs interpereted the few hugs, handholding, vacation/weekend time spent together (in suites!), riding in cars together, goodbye kisses, into a romance when it just as easy could have been interpereted as affection between friends but the romance angle was more newsworthy. pr will back it up (the non-romance/fauxmance)by the denials they issued like the last one about not being engaged. i'm not saying i'm on pr/reekes side because i think reeke intentionally did the actions and knew they would be misinterpreted by the public at large as romance. reeke took full advantage of the assumptions and they never confirmed or denied romance/just friends. theres a legal word for intentionally leading someone on to believe in something false i think but i forget what it is.
The only way out I see is the one some other posters have more or less alluded to yesterday, namely that Reeke will claim they love each other so much they have adopted a baby, this baby being Baby Tile.
Worst option ever! Seriously, who in the right mind would want Reese around his child?
i forgot to add: this is a perfect out for reese because remember she told ellen (i think) that she and jake were good friends. so she comes off as being the good person for supporting him thru heath's death, his decision to start a family, the lonliness of travelling so much and preparing for roles. she kept him company, listened to him, gave him advice and propped him up. reese kept her good friend jake strong when he needed her the most.
god i think i made myself sick..lol
well, 7:19, if people believe they`re "excuses" as just friends, they`re welcome to continue read and believe. Just let those people keep on! They`re going to be some beauuutiful cheerleaders one day. Not to judge(even though i just did), but that`s all there matters to some people all around the world.
theres a legal word for intentionally leading someone on to believe in something false i think but i forget what it is..
Fraud? ;)
I agree with you tho - they've never actually confirmed a romantic their relationship, and seem to be taking full advantage of the assumptions. It's as plain as the spots on my back.
..Reese walked his damn hairy big ass dog and drove his slow tiny common hybrid car when he was away, paid for his Starbucks iced almond mocha coffees (extra grande), even graced a set of a bankrupt movie just to support her good friend Jake! let's hear it for saint Reese!
"I wouldn`t mind if Jake and Austin had a baby and planned to come out when the kid got older, kinf of to prioritate they`re personal life. BUT, if he does that by pretending to be with another partner than who`m he`s really with and playing father to some other kids than his own, that to me just doesn`t seem right at all. Why the need to have a pretend family so desperately if you`re not ashamed of you`re own?"
This child is less than a year old
and we don't know what their plans are because they are their plans. We can assume the worse or assume the best, but that's all we can do is assume. We don't know.
I really don't think they thought what they were stepping into in October was going to be this. There was bearding lite before and then I think they were just thinking of protecting their baby when things got stepped up in Oct. And they didn't think it would be that much more different than before and then it became kind of like quicksand that they have to find a exit strategy for.
You're breaking my heart, Special, in all earnesty. I don't mean to take away from what could/should be a beautiful love story. I really don't. There's just that Reeke cloud hanging over it that I'm trying to see around.
Oh, and wha, wha, wait a second. What gold ring? When was that? What is that about? And what's PSA? That one's over my head, too. Please explain to this slow-witted plains dweller.
^^LOL :)
Of course, coercion and duress could be in play here, Reese and PR twisting Jake's arm to make him go along with their schemes, and to sign agreements against his will. I've read on certain blogs that we at OMG blame Reese and give Jake a free pass, probably posted by the Babblers. If they confirm a romantic relationship publicly themselves , and not "friends", "pals", "witnesses","unnamed sources" or the guy across the street, I'll think it's for real.
^^Sorry PG, my LOL was for "Yeah, I'd love to Cannonize her" at 7:43. Funny. ;)
And Norwegian girl, you have me intrigued, I had to google Norway because I had absolutely no idea where it was at. I still don't in proximity to the U.S. (geography not at all my forte; I had to google Morrocco) because the couple websites I looked at, showed where Norway is and I could see Italy (who can't tell where Italy is when you just see a dark outline?) but they didn't show where N America was . Anyway, I did learn that Norway is the 2nd least circular country in the world and it is one of the most northerly countries in the world. Some of the pictures were just beautiful. You have glaciers where you live, don't you? Anyway, I was just curious & fascinated. The internet is such a pathway to talk to people and learn things. Unbelievable!!!
i have a baby question. lol! if jake was seen on sept 4, 2007 [that pic special k had] holding a babygram picture, how old/young-small/big would the baby be to be able to have the babygram? do they get too large/too far along to have one done? i'm trying to think of how old the baby was if he had a babygram done and maybe when the baby was born.
I don`t think too, Special. I think the "desperado" came through the time "Reeke" did. But even if the child is so young...let`s just hope he/she won`t hurt. Jake IS playing a "father" to some other kids than maybe his own now. I just hope he will accept himself, as i strongly don`t believe he`s doing now, in time to take part in his childs life withouth being concerned of his image.
I've fallen in love with Fleet Foxxes. I see what you mean PG, there's a Roy Orbison quality about it too, (...)
Ha thanks Netb, that's the name I was trying to put my finger on.
Yup, great song again today. I usually copy the OMG song titles in a Word file and check that list out when I'm buying music. Lately I've missed a couple of days though.
See some of us need those moments, need those tiny things, they are little respites in this long journey. Maybe the rest of you don't but I do. And I don't think I'm alone.
Well Spesh these days what I need above all things is to know that I'm free to express my opinions on my favorite blog. So even though we totally disagree about BT, I just want to say thanks and tell you that more than ever I'm happy that OMG is my home blog. :)
another thing is wouldn't jake put the babygram picture away in his pocket befoe leaving the dr office and the medical building? he knows he's gonna be papped. he's not stupid. so why....??
Oh, no problem, leagle beagle. I didn't think Canonizing had anything to do with what I'd said, lol!
Giminiy's, if Reeke were to adopt a child, I think I'll be sick.
And I, too, see exactly what out is being created by Reeke by never really confirming their relationship to the press. That is correct. And how convenient. But if they or their handlers think that the public, meaning us and every Suburban/City/Rural person who buys People or reads on the internet or watches ET Tonight/Extra, doesn't interpret their relationship as being more than friends, they are sadly & stupidly mistaken. Yeah. Right. A 32 yr old divorced woman and a 27 yr old always single man vacationing together and being photographed holding hands, nuzzling @ the JJ concert (let's not forget that one), his hand openly on her "mammary gland", come on!! Don't even. Don't even insult our intelligence. They better not, that's all I have to say. When time comes for Jake to appear on the talk shows to discuss Brothers, if he so much as utters that word "friends", you'll hear my yell all the way to Norway, London, the East Coast, and Canada.
Hi Pg.girl:) Can`t blame you for not knowing much about Norway. We do have glaciers, yes, but not where i live. My part of the country is kind of flat. I also live only about 20 minutes by car to Sweden.
We have kind of a small country with only about 4,5 million people. Not many of us in the world compared to you americans:)
Jake IS playing a "father" to some other kids than maybe his own now.
No, he's just doing photo ops like a real pro. Comes with the territory when the beard has kids.
sorry to be a pest but i'd think a ob medical office in beverly hills would put babygram pictures in an envelope not just hand a pic to the father/mother and say 'here you go, bye!'
Yes, 8:12, but he still IS playing. He want`s too. And if he`s so concerned about his child safeness, he kind of gives a damn about other kids, while taking them on a trip.
"another thing is wouldn't jake put the babygram picture away in his pocket befoe leaving the dr office and the medical building? he knows he's gonna be papped. he's not stupid. so why....??"
He did slip it into his pocket, do check out the whole series of pictures for that date on IHJ
But that's the point PG, the Reeke cloud ALWAYS over us. I am always looking for the little slivers of blue or silver, or a ray of sun starting to break through.
Return of the Blue Ring
Gold Band Pic #2
Jake PSA for New Eyes for the Needy
Love the lyrics to this song too. :) Thanks guys!
p I also live only about 20 minutes by car to Sweden.
That is great. And you're right on the ocean, although I'll have to google again to see which ocean. Norway is a uniquely shaped country. I was trying to see the median temperatures, but they kept giving them in Celsius's and not F. I'm not any good at translating those 2. But the pictures show just beautiful country.
I am really loving this song. I think I'm going to have to see if ITunes has it.
I'd be willing to bet a good portion (but not all) of the posters badmouthing OMG are babblers and trolls.
You reckon, Destiny? Makes sense. I figured with Ted's blowhole Baby T spout, there'd be some troll invasion. But man, some of the comments were so generalizing and mean-spirited. Geez. And spoken without even looking over here, because if they had, they'd've seen that not all points of view were the same.
A triple contraction. Is that legal?
Kinda funny. I take so long typing, then checking for grammatical mistakes & then deleting, retyping, etc., that by the time I hit "publish this comment", I've missed a whole change in subject and I'm behind, lol!
Thanks, Special, for the links. I'm going to check them now.
special i saw the 4/5 pics of him with the babygram. he walks out the med office door with the pic in his hand at his side and doesn't put it in his pocket until he's 20-30 feet away. the whole time the pap is taking the pics. thats why i was asking..i'd think the dr office in bh would put those things in envelopes for privacy and why did he not put it away before he walked out the door?? or maybe it wasn't a babygram. maybe it was a grocery list!
Would you be able to stop looking at the picture of your baby?
Damn I would be showing everybody.
: )
Oh, and Special? I owe you a big Sonic Route 44 Limeade for doing these links. Now that I know what they involve, I admire and appreciate all that typing!
True Spesh, I wouldn't be able to stop looking. :)
Keeping you to that PG - next time I'm in Jo Co! : )
I am really loving this song. I think I'm going to have to see if ITunes has it.
iTunes has this song, but for all of you who like it, go for the whole record. You will not be disappointed. It is lyrically and musically one of the best of this year, hands down.
But if they or their handlers think that the public, meaning us and every Suburban/City/Rural person who buys People or reads on the internet or watches ET Tonight/Extra, doesn't interpret their relationship as being more than friends, they are sadly & stupidly mistaken.
Jeese has taken this way too far to use the "just friends" escape route, IMO.
Keeping you to that PG - next time I'm in Jo Co!
Keep me to this. Make it dinner. Count on it.
Ok, I need to go out & get a b-day card. I've got to tear myself away for a bit. Work tomorrow! But hey, it's Italian Birthday Lunch tomrrow. We're going to have spaghetti in the crock, chicken alfredo, Fazoli's breadsticks, salad, and I'm making a pizza dip. I told our whse supervisor that someone needed to volunteer to bring a wheelbarrow because we're all going to need to be carted out the door to our cars after a lunch like that, lol! This'll probably be the last time our office takes on the Italian theme. We're all going to be falling asleep at our desks or on our feet.
Jeese has taken this way too far to use the "just friends" escape route, IMO.
I hope you're right, Wicked. That would really just be too insulting to the intelligence.
yea special i agree you'd want to keep looking at the pic but he can't hold off for 10 minutes but then he hides and beards for a year?
so does anyone know the answer to the age of a embryo/fetus for a babygram? it might help figure out when the little bastard was born! sorry, i couldn't help it....lol..but really i'm serious about the question.
If you go through 2007 by pictures Question you will see a pattern to when Jake was at the Dr.'s office. the same time every single month start in Sept and work backwards.
prairie girl; nuzzling @ the JJ concert (let's not forget that one), his hand openly on her "mammary gland",
were there any other pics or a few sightings of this? i found one pic. it might be photoshopped. something's off on it to my naked eye so i'll look at it closer.
There is no possible way - after all this time, after all the PR, all the "sources" and "friends", stories and magazine covers, the lying, pandering, playing, using - that either could regain what has been lost thanks to the Reeke dog (literally) and pony show.
Both have been irrepairably tarnished by their willing participation in the one of the most horrendously orchestrated fauxmances in modern HW history. For all the fangirls, cubefraus and Mid-Western half-wits gained with each US Weekly/People/In Touch et al story, legions of what would have been fiercely loyal with their pockets and outrageously vocal in their support fans have left Jake's fandom with heads shaking in disgust and disillusionment never to return.
And Reese? Those who might have walked across the street to see June Carter and Elle Woods are now running the opposite way.
It's too late to salvage what has been lost, I'm afraid. The glow that was "Brokeback Mountain" has died an ignominious death thanks to Reeke.
If Jake were any kind of man, mistakes and lies would be owned, apologies offered, the truth embraced. Perhaps then the fans would return. But, the liklihood of that happening?
Nil.
not to argue special, but regular visits to a doctor can mean anything. but my big question was that no one has answered is is there a age/timetable/window in the pregnancy weeks where babygrams can be done? can they be performed up to 9 months or do they stop doing them at a certain trimester????
(((Reeke will claim they love each other so much they have adopted a baby, this baby being Baby Tile.
Now let's suppose Austin is the biological father. He just has to pretend he's a good friend of the family who cares a lot for that child (in private of course, we won't see any of his super-hush-hush visits and caring).
BT grows up not knowing who his/her real father is. Maybe they'll tell him/her at the age of 12? 13? Later?
the lonliness of travelling so much and preparing for roles. she kept him company, listened to him, gave him advice and propped him up. reese kept her good friend jake strong when he needed her the most.
Why the need to have a pretend family so desperately if you`re not ashamed of you`re own?
Would you be able to stop looking at the picture of your baby?
Damn I would be showing everybody.)))
Well, he seems to be showing what a loving (something) he is to Reese's little ones.
I'm I watching and old Joan Crawford / Bette Davis Drama. LOL
PS: You do wonderful work Special! You really do.
Just not believing it "yet"!
Don't think Jake or Reese would do this.
Sonograms can be done as early as 12 weeks, and as late as 9 months, and any time in between.
They are performed to check on the growth of the fetus, the determine the sex, and, in the later months, to see exactly where in the uterus the fetus is positioned - breech birth and whether a C-section is medically needed. Also, if the mother has experienced any gestational abnormalities that would perhaps cause the fetus distress.
And sometimes parents just like to take a gander at little Junior.
^Should be: am I watching an old Joan Crawford / Bette Davis Drama?
I think the fact that we've seen hide nor hair of Austin, an up and coming actor, lends a lot of credibility to the baby story. And really, except for once or twice monthly staged Reeke photos, we don't see much of Jake either. Perhaps Jake plans to retire in a year or two. He has always said he would quit when it stopped being fun. If he stops, it wont matter what people think about the bearding. Ent lawyer pretty much said there was a contract in place re the bearding. Around Rendition, Jake used some verbiage like I'm not allowed or I cant discuss that, which added credibility to the contract rumor. Jake, bless his heart, always lets something real slip out.
Now let's suppose Austin is the biological father. He just has to pretend he's a good friend of the family
what if the child looks exactly like austin?!! or if its jakes and the child looks exactly like jake?!! how the hell are they gonna explain that one?!!
Sure is nice talking about Jake and Austin again!
Indeed, Joker, indeed!
been thru it twice: thanks for answering. i was starting to wonder if asking questions about birthing babies was a stupid thing to do on a mostly gay blog, like asking about birth control. i don't know about that either....lol
m: Ent lawyer pretty much said there was a contract in place re the bearding.
i don't remember that, do you remember when?
No problem, Question, glad to be of assistance.
Oh, and frequently sonograms and doctor visits are the norm when multiple births are expected, too.
Sonograms can be done as early as 12 weeks, and as late as 9 months,
just a theory, if the sept 4 was the first one at 12 weeks/3 months then the baby was concieved in late may/early june 07.
my guess is if the pic jake was holding was a sonogram [god i was calling it a babygram lol..thank you for the right word!] and if he was that excited about it that he couldn't put it away then it was probably one of the first ones done.
Retoucher, I only saw that one picture, too; the one that was posted in that guy's journal. Now, I really took that pic with a boulder of salt because of Jake's eyes in it. Like my mam gland reference? I couldn't bring myself to type the b word in full public view. I can't even remember which hand it is. His arms fit her like a shawl and one of them is right on her, well you know.
Looking back, I, too, found all those doctor visits intriguing.
Special, I had never seen or else noticed that gold ring picture. The blue ring picture was somewhere around the historic (to me) time I found OMG, I think. I had never even heard of Austin, lol! Now, thanks to Ted, I even know about the giftedness of his most private area. That might be a little more than I had counted on knowing. And that PSA (it just hit me what that stands for) video. I'd not seen that. Was that on television? What a great organization to do a service announcement for. Who would've ever imagined such a one existed? At least I didn't.
I guess I forget about these small signs. It's like I can't see the forest for the trees. But it's not making me discredit what Ted is saying. Or believing in Jaustin. Or trying to rain on a good parade. I'm just trying to dissect it all and, for me, unfortunately, the constant Reeke Symphony is always in the back of my headphones. If they'd put it to rest, I'd be home free.
i just finished looking at the pic under super high res. theres something off for sure. its too choppy in places, it doesnt blend in some areas. and that hand on the breast? its not a boob its a black purse. i'm not too sure about the hand too because it looks like the palm of a hand and its in the wrong position to be a palm. theres some other things too that i don't want to say here. i'm going to picking it apart [literally! layer by layer] when i have more time but for sure somethings not jivin. it especially makes me suspicious when its the only pic/sighting. a crowd at a concert, lots of photogs onstage and backstage, fans, everyone has a cameraphone..small chance.
yeah whoever did it did a good job but its not perfect. lots of discrepancies. lots. ;)
I really miss those Mr. Peabody clips. I remember even as a kid I always interpreted some sort of underlying, sadistically humorous meaning from the role reversal there. Then again, I wasn;t your average child. Lots of love, Special K, for bringing that back into my life!
and OT:
I know it's been a few days since everything has ended with the Olympics, but I found this video that some people here might want to check out of Matthew Mitcham. It's pretty endearing of him.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RT_e1SJ1iPo
Makes me wish he wasn't all partnered up, I'd totally take a trip down under to date him ;)
btw if you want to know what i found tell me. i don't want to go on about it if yu're not interested. but i am 98% sure that its artwork.
Do share retoucher
(woke up and can't get back to sleep)
please retoucher could you make a detailed description of everything you found? I am interested to know too.
I was going to say his hand was on a black hat or something but can't wait to see what retoucher finds.
Thanks 9:35 for "cubefrau". :) Your articulate post is how I feel on the very bad days, but mostly I just skip with glee having always been a BT agnostic but turned believer in the last few months.
So, to skip with glee because of what might be hidden - I see the contradictions, but very well then, I contradict myself, to quote Walt (Whitman not Disney).
ok.
right off the bat i noticed theres a clock there and it says 9:30. theres also daylight in the pic. was the concert at 9:30 am? do they have concerts before noon? another thing is no ones around. during a concert theres shitloads of people backsatge. everyone wants to be there and its a madhouse. no one else is in that pic hanging around. looks to me like someone took it in the am after it was set up but before anyone was there and filled it in later.
little stuff that bothers me..the red color shes wearing is almost exactly the same red in the gown she wore in rome. the red thing in the pic, is it a top, a dress? whatever it is, it extends too far left to be part of her outfit. just a bit can be seen below and to the far left (using color separation) but it doesnt make sense unless it was a poufy ballgown. same with the hands, nothing is definite, like i said the one hand that looks like its on a boob looks like the palm but its in the wrong position, the highlight/shadow is wrong to me. the boob thing could be a big purse or backpack or a blob trying to look like a purse or a backpack. actually i think its trying to look like part of the dress, the boob part!
ok the closeup stuff. the part where reeses hair is up against the dark background..it doesn't blend in. its choppy, you can see the zigzags. theres no color graduation between the light and dark areas. thats a biggie.
the overall colors are ok..the mix of them in jakes hoodie is good. skin tones are allright but i think jake is darker in rl.
now the clincher for me was the faces. its hard to analyze this pic because its so blurry. you can usually tell by the eyes but these ones are out of focus. i think reeses nose needs to be longer in the pic, it looks too short. and her chin isnt jutting out like usual! but the dealbreaker for me was seeing a vertical line demarcation between reese and jakes faces. the 2 faces should be blending in together pixel/colorwise but there is a definite separation line between them. i can't remember the exact magnification i used to see this, probably around only 1300x. if you want to see it, remove the color and turn the pic into black and white and magnify it. you'll see it for sure. its there. it looks like 2 pictures up next to each other, not 2 faces at the same focal length and blending with color/pixel graduations.
there also a larger set of horizontal lines running thru them, below reeses collarbone/shoulder. normally it looks like a shadow but magnified, no. it just looks weird like an addition that was supposed to lengthen the body section and again didnt blend in. also again theres a lack of blending at one of the wrists and the sleeve. it just looks strange, the jake part is easy enough to do [face and hoody] but reeses was more involved with the dress and chest area and i think thats where they messed up by adding stuff to cover up because they werent sure how to show the hands and the details in reeses clothes. which is why the big black blob thing is there and the hands are blurred and confusing. i can count 5 hands there!
sometimes only one or two things can make it debatable but all those things i said, for me adds up. especially after seeing and triple checking that vertical line between the faces.
it might have started out as a joke or a way to say 'look whos at our concert'. its really suspicious that only 1 person saw them there, said anything about it and was the only one to get a pic with no one else around. but yes i really believe its not the real deal.
sorry to go on and on....probably more than you ever wanted to know about one lousy picture!!
btw in my spare time i'm doing research on calves. you'll be the first to know when i find the cash cow.
Wow, Retoucher, I wake up & I'm flabbergasted. How do you blow them pictures up like that, I wanna know? My plain ol eyes, without my lineless bifocals, face almost smashed up to my computer screen, could only see what I thought it was seeing. And if this is all so, then the picture accomplished what its intended purpose was for: it fooled me easily.
But, although I thought it was definitely the most intimate shot of them we'd seen (even the kiss @ LAX, post Rome, to me was rather chaste looking), it was extremely suspicious to me, too. The point I had made at the time was that this kid who supposedly came up with this picture, had not been with this website very long. Plus, this was the only shot? There were absolutely no other shots of them? All the other pictures were of other things. As a tourist-y only kind of picture taker, if I'd've seen (there goes that triple contraction again) Jake & Reese at a concert, I would've shot several pictures, not banking on that one. I realize I still shoot from film and everybody else uses digital now, but even so. You're going to just take or submit one lousy picture? There had to have been a few other shots. That was the best one?
And I'll agree that it was rather odd there were no other people in that shot, even backstage, although them being celebrities...But, do either one of them know Jack Johnson personally to get backstage like that?
Then again, why would someone go to all that trouble to work a picture like that? Or create a photo journal entry like that? I dunno. I guess I believed they were there; I just didn't believe the validity of their intimacy. His eyes were looking up, not focused on her at all, they were looking up to see if the camera was on them. Not real romantic. And that was what was fake to me.
Well done, Retoucher. Thanks for the research. What kind of research on calves, anyway? Like their interaction with their mothers? How come they're so doggone cute? I'm curious. And you do alot of work with picture development, surely. You see way more than the average eye does at casual glance.
Wish me luck with this pizza dip. I've got to finish it this morning. Hope it's good - it's a new recipe. The office is always the guinea pig!!
Wicked, still loving this song, even so early in the morning! I'll have to sample all the tunes on I Tunes.
Ah, it's like the good old days with all the Jaustin/BT theories and photo analysis! After all the Reeking and bs from trolls and babblers this it what I hope to find every time I come here. Couldn't agree with you more special about needing those tiny pieces of reassurance every once in a while!
Mood: Down : (
Everybody have a great day at work today. Yesterday was kinda intense at times, but Retoucher shed a little light on something I had pretty much forgotten about. Only 2 workdays til Friday, woohoooo!
Special, you're gonna be hurtin' today, aren't you? Hate those times when you wake up in the middle of the night, can't go back to sleep, and then you do go back to sleep, and before you know it, that alarm's going off. I can hear the groan all the way over here, lol
Couldn't agree with you more special about needing those tiny pieces of reassurance every once in a while!
Not reassurance, because my belief in them together and what they are trying to have has never wavered. It's that those little things are more respite from what the rest of the world cares to believe.
PG - Already up and in the office, finishing things up for today from here. - Lots of coffee today.
Thanks Retoucher - great picture analysis. Amazing was you can see.
