For the first full day of fall: 
"I especially love messing with Austin."
"He was always making faces at me, trying to crack me up,"
"It usually worked too. I was trying to be all serious and I'd see him sticking his tongue out and I'd lose it."
"He'll do a take and I'll say, 'you're not really going to do that are you?' "
"There is a harmony in autumn, and a lustre in its sky, which through the summer is not heard or seen, as if it could not be, as if it had not been!"

With the blue font on blue background it looks like "I especially love mating with Austin." LOL
Pretty apparent it was love at first sight. This is just ones of these couples that stays together forever.
^^ITA, Tom, but things were complicated when they met - Austin had a long-term fiancee and Jake was with Kirsten.
Maybe all those complications are what makes them feel they can't be open. They could be a very appealing couple like NPH and his partner. The time may have passed for that now, what with Reese in the picture.
I love this song. Thanks Wicked for picking it!
Dear Ted:
Kindly please replace your word of retard to peabrain or D.D. (Delbert Dumbutt) or something that is decidedly less targeted to a group of people who already got the shaft in life; the mentally retarded. I love you, baby! I'm just defensive about the term since my son is high-functioning autistic. Now get a move on with some serious gossip. BTW, is Hillary Clinton Toothy Tile? Thought I'd have some fun today!
—Mckinn
Dear PC:
Noted, but don't go too Tropic Thunder on my ass and take it with a little bit of humor (I get your point, though), just as I am with your BV guess. It's good for the chuckles, but Hil ain't your man.
Dear Ted:
Does Toothy Tile know he's Toothy Tile in your Blind Vices? I've always heard that people in celebrity camps scroll blog sites (just to make sure they're getting talked about, of course). Just wondering if his people have figured out you're talking about him.
—Brg4Eyes
Dear Eavesdrop:
Toothy knows, alright. That's why he loves to do his out-me mamba all across T-town.
Couple more:
Dear Ted:
You mention that Colin Farrell has been in a "family twister" Blind Vice and that Toothy Tile is "less brawny in real life." You also have said that there is a Baby Tile, and Colin has a kid, does he not? Is he Toothy?
—AJ in Columbus
Dear Jigsaw Jumbler:
It sounds good on paper. But in reality, C.F. is as hetero and horny as they come.
As much as I wish Toothy Tile was in actuality Sarah Palin's husband, I have convinced myself it is Hugh Jackman. Yay or Nay?
—Katy
Dear Wishful Thinking:
Nay. Almost, but not quite.
So, Ted outed Hugh Jackman?
Good morning, everyone. Not a good night of sleep; woke up @ 2 and then again @ 4. The sunrise was quite mesmerizing this morning. The sun was this big round globe and the bottom of it was this intense red-orange. And then, just like a picture, there were layers that went up from there, gradually lighter and lighter shades of that red. Unbelievable. I had to backtrack a little bit just so I could keep walking facing towards it.
On the way back, I watched everyone in their cars as I sat at stoplights. A crisp looking, striped business shirt, one lady holding onto her insulated thermal mug, no doubt filled with caffeinated brew, and one lady rounding the corner, a cig dangling out of her mouth as she puffed her way into the office, lol. You know, these are the people who are keeping the wheels churning in this country. Not the top dogs, not the ones with all the $. Yes, they're the ones with alot of the ideas and the $ to back them, but it's all the Joe Blows and Jane Does, going in every day, punching in or swiping their electronic keys into the factory, the office, the nursery, the landscaping firm, the restaurant, the all night convenient store, whether it's because they truly like what they do or they just need to put food on the table & pay the rent, they're the ones who are doing the grunt work. A Salute to all the 8 to 5'ers.
Reese is back from London
Hi Prairie Girl,
So sorry to hear about what happened to your friend at work. Losing someone is difficult enough, but when it's so random and senseless like this, it's very hard to understand why people can treat each other this way. Take care. (((((PrairieGirl))))). Your posts add a lot to our group.
Thanks for the dreamy pic of our guys today. I'll check out the song when I get home.
I love Ted, a gossip columnist with and edge, but also a heart. :*
Thanks for posting these lovely pictures. Can't help but smile seeing the glow around these two men. Didn't some insider at WFT1 say they could not take their eyes off each from the moment they met at the Day After audition.
"Less than a week after Brad Pitt donated $100,000 to fight a California initiative to ban gay marriage in the state, Steven Spielberg and wife Kate Capshaw have followed equal rights suit, announcing that they will match the six-figure donation to the "No on 8" campaign."
Great that Hollywood is supporting this but letting their stars come out would be even better.
John McCain has a gay Chief of Staff
I would like to reguest a song you might be able to use sometime.
It is "You Are The One" by Lisa Koch. You can download it free on her web site. It reminds me of our boys, Gee, I really miss them!!!!
request not reguest
So Reese is back from London (we are told) but couldn't resist getting pic'd at the airport. What's the difference?
No difference.
Reese used Flynet to promote the fauxmance and her new movie. PR business as usual.
Thanks for the beautiful post to start off the fall. This is my favorite time of year.
I'm jealous you got to see a beautiful sunrise PG. I'm rarely up at that hour, except, oddly enough, on vacation. Plus I don't think I've ever seen a gorgeous sunrise in NYC--just sunsets.
That's great about Spielberg. Hopefully others will follow. I wonder about people like Geffen and Wenner.
Call me a cynic but how would the paps know what flight she got off if they're alloewed only in the LAX general public lobby area? I think the story of Reese coming back from London is BS. Wouldn't be surprised if she came back from somewhere else (was there for 4 Xmas movie interviews/press), if she went to London and the setup pap pics will be released later for PR or even if she did a walk thru the airport with the big fake smile to let it seem like "something" happened (engagement). Esp the walk thru..really cheap and easy to do. I won't be surprised if it was done so that they can now release an "engagement" announcement and to drag the fauxmance out longer because of PoP.
People, E! aren't saying London or Jake in their blurbs.
Anyone see this?
Fashion prince Tom Ford is finally going to see his dream come true.
The former Gucci designer is putting the final touches on his directorial debut of the movie adaptation of Christopher Isherwood's 1964 novel, A Single Man.
Sources reveal exclusively to me that it looks like Colin Firth will star as a gay college professor who deals with the sudden death of his lover. The character is helped in his efforts by a lifelong female friend and one of his students.
Firth's rep tells me "he's in discussions" but it's not a done deal.
Julianne Moore will play the friend while Jamie Bell has signed for the student role, my sources say. The story takes place in 1962 in Los Angeles.
No studio is attached to the project, but Ford plans to begin filming in L.A. in November.
Ford announced in November that he acquired the movie rights to the novel.
The look will be pure Ford. One source says, "It should be very cool with all those '60s cars and great midcentury homes."
After leaving Gucci in 2004, Ford spoke publicly about wanting to get into directing.
He also started his namesake men's fashion line last year.
Interesting that someone like that would be given the chance to direct, and that he got well-known actors to take a chance on it too.
Thanks very much for your sentiments, netb; it's still been on my mind alot today.Can't seem to tuck it too far away.
I'm jealous you got to see a beautiful sunrise PG. I'm rarely up at that hour, except, oddly enough, on vacation. Plus I don't think I've ever seen a gorgeous sunrise in NYC--just sunsets
Wow, what do you mean you never see the sunrise in New York? Do the buildings block it? It was gorgeous, Destiny. This time, tho, it wasn't one of those where the colors spill out and flood the whole east side of the sky. This one was solely in the sun itself. That is definitely my favorite time to be at my park; when I'm the only one out there (or so I think) and there is just barely getting to be some light in the sky. It's just me, my thoughts, my horrible singing, and the lil critters.
I saw that, Special. Our man, Colin, eh?
Destiny's destiny is going to Kansas and seeing the sun!
PG sorry to read about your coworker. You're right about it being a shock, not like TV..not even like trhe TV news. It's sad. Hope her family and friends will be okay.
I meant two things PG, one, the sunrises are not very exciting in New York (I've seen one or two when I've been driving east early in the morning), and I normally can't see them from where I live due to buildings.
I get my sunrise fixes when I go out west to visit family, but I bet the ones in Kansas are especially good because there are not a lot of mountains, etc. blocking them.
Crystal ball, I'm going to guffaw at your comment in just a second. But I've got to express thanks, too, to shocked. Everyone's kindness is really appreciated and I know her family is probably stunned by people's warm & loving natures. She really was very nice and knew how to play the violin; I didn't know that. She was in the K.C. Youth Symphony and had moved back home after getting her job as a microbioligist where I work. She moved back home for awhile because it was closer to her job and she was going to save money for a house. She had been out that night after getting off work and went to have dinner & drinks with friends down at Westport, a small community of Kansas City where there's alot of bars & it's a young people's hangout, or always has been, anyway. They have arrested 2 guys, one of which confessed already. They spotted her because she was alone & looked vulnerable. They needed gas money & she was trying to lock the door as they approached & demanded money. The whole thing was a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
I guess we all just always need to be on our guard. Even if we're alone, to always have keys in hand and look around; look like we're walking with a purpose and always check around as you're getting into your car.
Okay, Destiny, you kinda clarified your statement; now I can't guffaw.
:(
Still a good one, crystal ball!
There's definitely no mountains around here. Big hills. That's what we have. Big hills and lots of prairie grass. Lots of sunflowers that grow wild along the sides of the roads but road crews can't chop them down because, of course, they're the state flower.
I wonder what book that is Jake is holding up. And I wonder who snapped these pictures? Was it really paparazzi? Would they really go inside a Borders or you reckon they're taken with one of those big ol, honkin' zoom lenses from outside the store? Course, Borders usually has all their windows plastered with 200 posters of the same promotion going on inside. You generally can't see inside their stores for nothin.
PG
A lot of people have wondered what book Jake was holding up and grinning about. And that was definitely his Austin smile.
Wasn't the story about the pictures that the photograph just happened to be around?
One thing I noticed was that leaving Jake and Austin's friends left, but no Austin. Either he went out ahead, stayed in the story and went out later, or went out the other door.
Think PG would agree if a Kansas sunrise is summer, and the sunsets are spectacular.
Living on the coast I've seen the sunrise on the Atlantic many times, but I did get to do the coolest thing once. I got to see the sunset rise on the Atlantic and the sunset on the Pacific in the same day, it was amazing.
Clay Aiken has officially come out of the closet as a gay man in the new issue of People magazine.
Welcome to the gayborhood, daddy!
It's not on People's website yet, but, yes, somehow Perez Hilton does have a preview of the cover. Clay Aiken with his new baby. (This is the first time I've looked at Perez's website for probably about 6 mths) Interesting. Clay's quote on the cover: "I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things."
That is quite the story. I anticipate it will be all over the tabloid TV shows tonight. Very courageous & honest of Clay. I hope it works out great for him. He looks great on the cover. I like his hair - looks better than that blond hairpiece thing he was wearing for Broadway.
The dominoes are taking a tumbling for you, Tom! :)
And that was definitely his Austin smile.
And none like no other. Definitely a spectacular one, one that reaches into the eyes.
My gosh, so that was a transcontinental flight. That must have been forever up in the air.
"I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things."
Yea kids lie and hide enough things on their own LOL
I'm very happy to see Aiken acknowledging that having a child changes things. And "mom", I can recall reading an article awhile back about children and lying, and parents have a lot to do with shaping that. I can't recall all the specifics, but I seem to remember that one factor is whether parents are observed lying.
Congrats to Clay, and coming out and on fatherhood too. :)
And the Rocky Mountain sunrises/sunsets turn them the most beautiful shades. :)
What an amazing thing for Clay to say. I commend him for finally coming out. I hope Jake and Austin read the article if indeed there is a Baby Tile.
I doubt Reese was in London. I think she was out of town [in the US maybe Canada] doing pre press for 4 Christmases or doing that voiceover job or whatever but not in London. In the LAX pics she has a bodyguard with her, someone's carrying her bags and it looks like there's an assistant so the trip looks more business than personal. Also she was papped on 9/18 Thursday afternoon, why would she travel 10 hours [at least, not counting airport time] arrive on a very late in GB Friday night/ early Saturday, stay 1 or 1 1/2 days and come back on Monday? Doesn't make sense, in love [yeah riiiiiight] or not. I think what she's doing is just getting some fauxmance PR out of some stupid little work trip.
And the Rocky Mountain sunrises/sunsets turn them the most beautiful shades. :)
Okay, fess up, Telluride! Lol, I had to google it. I'd not heard of that city. What an absolutely beautiful looking place. Now those are some mountains!
Are you from the Rocky Mountain State or are you just pulling legs?
I'm still on a mission to find our most western OMG reader/lurker/blogger!
I'm not from there, but am an ardent, ardent admirer! ;) My OH lived in Idaho for awhile, and I fell in Love with the area. Oh how I wish I lived there. :)
Destiny sorry if I was misunderstood. I meant lying like how kids do it like the 3 year old saying "I didn't flush the toy down the toilet, Susie did" [Susie, the cat) or how they hide their yucky vegetables in their napkins so they can throw them out later or think its funny to hide your glasses. The cute lying and hiding!
Wow Lohan says she is dating Ronson. What a day.
I am very impressed by what Clay is doing and saying right now.
The vid is 2 minutes of him doing some James Bond stunts. He sounds and looks like a great guy. Maybe he's the one in the white hat in the Morocco ice cream pic?
Jake's PoP Stunt double
Actually Reese was papped on the 16th, a Tuesday and the pics were posted on the 17th, Wednesday. That's a five day gap, she could have been on a business trip, but she wasn't papped inL.A. for that time.
Okay, Telluride, thanks for your honesty. I hear ya. It does indeed look gorgeous from what I saw. And Idaho. That place looks really pretty, too. All those northwest states - Montana, Wyoming, Idaho. You're lucky to have visited there! I'm sure you saw unbelievable sunrises & sunsets there, ones hard to be topped. Certainly physically topping mine seen over a blue heron-waste covered sidewalk and the pee wee league football field goalposts, lol! But I try to look past all that.
Oh, I can't diss my park like that. I'm sorry, park! You are my haven, my oxygen on earth that I seek through good and bad. I was just kidding. I love you.
tower of Reeseship opps I mean LAX saidActually Reese was papped on the 16th, a Tuesday and the pics were posted on the 17th, Wednesday. That's a five day gap, she could have been on a business trip, but she wasn't papped inL.A. for that time.
Just checked, X17 posted the Reese Thai parking lot pics Thursday 9/18 at 6 30 am so chances are the pics were taken on Wednesday late afternoon. So wow babbler, if she left late Wednesday instead of late Thursay and if she went to London then she got a whole extra day of hot London lovemaking with..well it wasn't Jake that's fir damn sure.
^^Not at all. I love sunflowers, blue herons, and would love to visit Kansas. The first time I ever saw the Tetons with the sun turning them pink, I thought I would fall right down on my ass, they were so beautiful. A sunset or a sunrise, or a rainbow, is beautiful just about anywhere you see it. You can see some of the most remarkable ones right in your own backyard. I saw an rainbow shaped like the St. Louis arch driving home one day. Nature is my rescue too. I need to become an earlier bird tho to enjoy more sunrises. :)
Yay good for Clay telling the truth and being proud of himself and his family! And for Sam/Lindsay, if that's what they were doing, coming out. Wonder if Ricky Martin is making a deal with People/US/OK. Wonder if Toothy Tile/other closeted HW gays are feeling like scaredy-cat idiots. They're sure starting to look like it.
Reese doesn't answer when asked if she's engaged to Jake
Love today's song - and Venus as a Boy from the other day too. :)
Reese doesn't answer when asked if she's engaged to Jake
What is she suppoesed to say, the truth?!
1. No we're just good friends
2. Yes it's part of the fauxmance contract PR
3. No I'm just using him to get back at Ryan
4. Yes to help our image but only for 1 year and then I break it off
5. No he's gay
6. All of the above
^^LOL!!
I really want to see the Claymate reaction to Aiken coming out.
Flamenco, if you like this song check out the whole record, Veneer. I like quite a few of the songs on it, but find that the songs tend to sound the same when the record is taken as a whole.
I for sure dont believe reese was in London. No way in hell she goes over there and does not take advantage of being papped with Jake. I can see reese just walking around the airport having her picture taken so it can look like she had been to London.
But you can bet there is plenty of reeke to come. Jake is gonna look like such a fool.
It all does seem rather curious, was she ever in London at all. :(
Wicked, I'll definitely check out Veneer. This song is wonderful. :)
What's weird about TDAT, was there were no pictures of Jake and Austin together at the premiere. Jake had his picture with Emmy and Arjay but not Austin. Why not?
I'm not really a fan of Clay Aiken, but he has guts for doing this and I thinking coming out takes balls. He's gone up in my estimation by a long shot. Good for him for being honest for his own sake and the sake of his child.
And ditto for Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson, although of course minus the child.
I followed a link from Datalounge, Wicked, and the Claymate fans are wildly supportive of Clay, it must be said. I think the entertainment industry sometimes underestimates fanbases and their potential for compassion and/or support. Clay could potentially change a lot of minds by going public with this, so I say good on 'im.
It's a sad day when Clay Aiken has more guts than Jake Gyllenhaal ever will.
Just can't help myself.
Sox just clinched the post season! Woo Hoo!
Soxtober baby!
GO SOX!
I think the entertainment industry sometimes underestimates fanbases and their potential for compassion and/or support.
I would agree. I read a sampling of comments on People.com and alot of the direction comments were taking was no surprise and "Okay, well, let's go onward". In other words, it was really not a surprise and not a big deal, what's the next story? It's a big story in that for someone to come out, it still just is in Hollywood. It's happened more frequently here lately and hopefully we'll live to see the day where it's not magazine cover worthy. But it's not earthshattering, career ending, I don't think. I think fans just appreciate the honesty and upfrontness.
Correction on the sampling of comments. Not on People.com, but on the thread of the post on Perez. Sorry about that!
Sorry I misinterpreted what you said Mom. You are of course right about what you said.
I've always wondered that about the TDAT premiere too Dee, it seems strange. I suspect they were afraid to be together in front of others for fear of people picking up on attraction, and it wasn't too long before Jake and Kiki broke up.
Clay has certainly gone up in my eyes because of this. I don't like his music, but I have a tremendous amount of respect for his doing this.
And as more and more people come out, Reeke looks even more ridiculous.
Now that I've had my baseball moment, back on track.
I agree I think Hollywood underestimates and also treats the public like backwards cousins.
It's true that there will always be people who won't be accepting, but it seems like sexual orientation is no longer the taboo that Hollywood is still treating it. Television has not only gay, lesbian, and bisexual storyline, but evens transexuals playing in prime time.
And for the population in square states (sorry PG) that Hollywood is so worried about, have they seen what daytime tv is here in the US. And I'm not talking about soap operas, but shows on In Style, Home & Garden Television, Food Network, Discovery, TLC. Regularly have they shows that have same sex couples. There is no sensationalism of their relationship or lifestyle, they are just there to sell their house, redecorate a room, plan a party, learn to cook like all the others who have been on the show. You don't see those middle American ladies turning off their sets or protesting for the removal of the shows.
Hollywood needs to stop being so afraid of the demographic and have confidence in the public.
I do think there is one positive thing that is happening in Hollywood. You are seeing more movies that have gay main characters and gay themes as the major focus of the film. It is not just the gay best friend in a supporting role. Tt's a gay main character with straight best friend. Do think that the success of BBM had something to do with the trend, but I also think it is society ready for these things to happen as well.
Hollywood really needs to reassess their audiences and find out what they're really think, not what they think they are thinking.
Square states? Are ya talking about the shape of our backwards state? I thought we were kind of rectangular.
LOL! Yeah, guess we are a bit conservative and can be behind the times. I know our radio stations run about 2-3 months behind VH-1. "And folks, here's a Brand new song by blah, blah, blah, and it's something that was playing on VH-1 forever ago.
Excellent & well said, Special. I don't think it's as big a deal as the Hollywood Top Brass think.
Clay Aiken's story is already a headline on CNN.com and is on USA Today.com. Who are these Claymates, just his fans? The articles seem to be always mentioning them. I have one song of his downloaded on my ITunes, Destiny. "Invisible". I like that song - it's kind of bubblegumish, but I like it.
Goodnight all - sweet dreams :)
Jake and Austin were not photographed together at Day After premiere, but there are photos of Jake in which Austin is in the far background, with other cast members, on some steps, I think. If you follow the eyeline, Austin's eyes are on Jake most of the time. It's been a while since I looked at those photos, but I think they are on IHJ. Also, Jake was interviewed in his hotel room, and the interviewer noted that he had a roommate. Not present at the interview, but I'd lay good money the roommate was Austin.
Bravo to Clay. I am not a fan of his, but he did the right thing and his reason is dead on. I hope Jake and Austin read those words.
I am taping Brodre now. Sub-titled, I will watch it when I am not so tired.
Sorry, that we was me just above. Hard day at work and I am very tired.
it has to be said: It's a sad day when Clay Aiken has more guts than Jake Gyllenhaal ever will.
Destiny: And as more and more people come out, Reeke looks even more ridiculous.
ITA on both. Thx for saying wise words both of you.
Special, congrats on your Sox! Even though it took them a lot longer and a lot less games ahead and had a lot less percentage points than my team to clench their post season. heheh
I'm sorry to hear about your co-worker PG. Hopefully you can go to the viewing and put some closure to it somehow.
So Clay finally came out huh? Very interesting. I can't wait to read THAT article. I am glad that the tide is changing though. Celebs are being more honest about themselves. That's cool.
I really liked the music today. It's not necc my genre but it made me feel good. It reminded me of Seal for some reason. Maybe it's the guitar. I'll have to check that out.
Aw, Jake and Austin are so darn cute together. Love the new quote since it shows that both of them where quite smitten.
Also great news about Clay and Lindsay coming out! If only our boys would have the courage to do so one day.
It has been a tragic day for us again in Finland. We had a second school shooting in under a year and now all talk is about violence, depression and gun control. It's so comforting to come here and find everyone still getting together and being there for each other.
My heart goes out for you PG: so sorry about your loss!
Thank you, Clarity, very much. And to you, hopeful tb. Hopeful, I am sorry to hear about your tragedy at the school. I'm not sure what kind of desperation leads to that kind of action. It's a startling, eyeopening thing, that's for sure. Hopeful, you just turn to each other; don't hide from it. Talk about it to others. Air out your fears. Everyone has them. And somehow form a good thing out of a bad. Don't let the bad win out.
We do have to look out for each other. Need to notice habits of our neighbors & friends. Because unfortunately, there are some out there who mean harm. Some things there's no way to predict or anticipate. But you just do the best you can; that's all you can ask of yourself.
And Finland? Goodness, I've got to google that when I get back from my walk. My loquaciousness has set me behind on beating the sunrise, I'm afraid. Maybe you're our Most Westest, HopefulTB. What time is it there? I'll have to check time zones.
"Back in a minute"
Everyone have a good day. Supposed to be an isolated showered one here. That may mean some closet cleaning, unfortunately.
Back in a minute. LOL! I had no idea how true that was going to be. Had my brand new, shiny white NB's on, IPod in hand, and start to drive off. Why is it still so stinkin dark out here? It's too early, lol! Not supposed to leave now until another 1/2 hr or so. Thank goodness for the clock in my car that screamed out at me it's not June, it's now mid-September. Had to turn around & re-park my car. How embarrassing! Glad no one saw. Only you all know. Don't tell.
Aw man, and now I hear rain pinging.
"It's a sad day when Clay Aiken has more guts than Jake Gyllenhaal ever will."
Do not compare them, please. I'm from Europe and I have absolutely no idea who Clay Aiken is. Good for him for coming out, though. But, Jake is becoming an international star, he has a very good chance to become one of leading men of his (my) generation in 5-10 years, his face instantly recognizable all around the globe, like the ones of Tom Hanks, Brad Pitt and DiCaprio. He has too much too lose if something goes wrong.
So you think Jake should come out only if his career fails ?
I'll have to disagree about Jake and Clay Aiken. I think Clay Aiken is much better known than Jake Gyllenhaal. If you move away from the fandom most people still don't know who Jake is.
