Shin and Gimel

Jake

Don't think you get a free pass because its your birthday, you have to deal with some blonde chick, Austin just celebrates Christmas, or you are like some prince or something, you got some work to do mister.

Who else is going to show your goy boy what the Festival of Lights is all about? Teach him all about the Maccabees? Who's going to explain what Nes Gadol Haya Sham—"A great miracle happened there" has to do with the dreidel? Who's going to make latkes, or at least explain the nuisances of sour cream vs. apple sauce? You. That's who. So get your Hannukah on. Since there's only so many ways to sing Dreidel Dreidel Dreidel, why not do some music. By the way no fixed dreidels! This is not all Gimel (take all) there's got to be some Shin too (put in).

Should you go with the classic - like Sol Zim, Yeah, he does have that Children's Chanukah cd, that could work. But how about something a little back in the day? Like the Joy of Chanukah, how can you go wrong with Sol? He's the descendant of five generations of cantors, and self proclaimed America's Best Loved Jewish Singer. You just may have to both work on your Hebrew to sing along.

Or go with something retro, like Ray Brenner and Barry E. Blitzer, Have a Jewish Christmas…?, 1967. This classic album includes such seasonal favorites as “Tanta and the Tree,” Christmas Machers” and called “Shut Up, Irving.” It's kind of a bridge to the blending wouldn't you say?


Then you've gotta give a gift at least for the first night. Sure you could give some really nice cashmere socks (Hanukkah Harry approved) or slacks (another good HH gift) but you know you going to be using them yourself. "Hey they were in the drawer, on the hanger, in my bag."

But Christmas is his biggie so hopefully you already picked the big stuff up in all your travels these past few months - London, Paris, Morocco, but just in case you need some stocking stuffers, (cause you know he's got yours):

You love your Disco Duck shirt he got you, so give back the love with "Say Yes to Michigan" tee or "Sparky the Sun Devil".

How about something smooth and seductive? Maybe the Ray Barbee Meets Mattson 2 CD? Mattson 2 creates some lush jazz and teamed up with Ray Barbee in Japan to make an incredible album. Definitely one to put on and unwind with a nice bottle of wine, no phone, no paps, just some serious private time.

You know accessories make the man - especially yours so how about some, maybe Horny cuff links (made from fallen deer antlers) or Nickels ones, or maybe gold handsewn tie with a rounded off end something a little different for your golden guy (Better living through chemistry - periodically speaking of course).

Or just a reminder of a sleepy but smirky morning with a baby owl pendant?


No doubt you'll cook, as you fatten up from all these lean months, but don't forget Austin loves a good taco truck, maybe give him a little adventure as you try to track down from twitter where the Kogi BBQ truck is going to be. Hey getting there and back is half the fun.

Don't forget he's got a birthday in the Spring, maybe book the loft now at the new Ace Hotel in NY. A little rocker vibe like the one in Portland, but with a serious nod to NYC. You know all the cool kids will want to stay there and you could get a little jump ... on it and ....

Ok leaving the Festivus stuff for you to figure out. The pole, the airing of grievances, and the feats of strength - just remember Festivus isn't over until someone gets pinned.

You guys are good. You know Austin likes quirky things and Jake has just the imagination to come up with the perfect gift.

Nice to see Austin get an interview. Hopefully more to come as his new projects show up in 2009. I would love to read some of his writing. Too bad he doesn't have a live journal. I wonder if he ever writes slash.

What to say big thanks to Hjulia for the interview with Austin.

Thank you Thank you Thank you!

Can I just say I love that he is an Arrested Development fan. Woo hoo! You know he's not afflicted like Tobias Funke with never-nude syndrome, but bet he's a big fan of Tobias' anyway.

Why would he need to write slash?
He's either living it or starring in it.

Special K said...

Not really sure what you meant eh, but the Arrested Development I was talking about is a TV show here in the US.

Here's the Wiki for it.
Arrested Development

Can't wait - they are supposedly making it into a movie. And yes I own all of the DVD's.

Slash is written overwhelmingly by straight women.
A straight guy wouldn't write it and a gay/bi would probably be living it by actually having sex so wouldn't need to write it.

prairiegirl said...

That was a good reply, eh. Lol! Right spot on.

Huh, there have been several odd, er interesting comments here lately. Like right out of left field. That bit late last night/early early this morning was strange. What on earth brought that on? Some visiting posters are coming on here awfully defensive for some reason and they're popping up out of nowhere, lol. Don't even know why.

Interesting how with all the magazine rag covers to satisfy their beliefs like "Jake Moves In" and "Boyfriend of 2008", I wouldn't think there'd be any reason for them to be feeling so nervous/insecure. Let's see, got the Cabo pictures, the Rome pictures, Paris, Vogue storytelling time, what else could you want? Oh, and don't forget caroling around the tree & a Christmas pagaent courtesy of People. Why so nervous?

I will have to read/watch Austin's interview tonight. Didn't have time this morning and can't concentrate here @ work on something so eyecandyish. Need to be able to obserrrrrve and take my time, lol. Or is it a written interview? Darn, I thought maybe it was video.

Everybody here is waiting on this "icestorm" that's supposed to come. So far, nothing. Could just end up being cold rain.

I have a question for you carless people, lol. With this being the holiday shopping season & all, how on earth do you carry all your packages around without a cartrunk to dump them off in between stops? Or do you just make 1 or 2 stops and then go home? I'm also trying to picture carrying large packages onto buses & subways and I'm getting pictures of Kramer with his large TV in the parking garage and Elaine with her 3 Tenors poster and the wedding present that she lugged onto the subway. lol. Has that ever happened to somebody?

Well, time to go. There went my lunch hour. Pffft! Just like that.

I really enjoyed Austin’s interview – thanks Hjulia. It sounds like he’s made himself at home on the OTH set. Maybe he’ll get a chance to go even further with the Julian character.

He also seems to have a thing for Italy – this isn’t the first time he’s mentioned Italy in one of his answers. I wonder if he ever made it to Rome and Ischia this past summer with his brother-in-law, Rowdy Stovall.

Well for me - I space shopping out do a little at a time if I can. You also have to plan ahead - you always thinking about how much you're gonna be able to carry, and what is better to bring with you. Should I bring my backpack? Can I put in my briefbag or what purse gives me more room. Of course you do trudge with shopping bags on the train you just maybe hang out a little till rush hour winds down a little. And big stuff - that's when you get a friend, a taxi, or a Zip car or heck pay for the delivery. And of course good things can come in small packages like gift cards.

Craziest things I've see on the train shopping wise - two guys with a nine foot ladder they just got from the Home Depot, three college guys and a big room size rug rolled up, and the man with the floor lamp that put it on the floor next to him and then started to read his book, it kind of looked like you walked into his living room by mistake.

With Ava. Looks like Reese got extensions.

Reese looks like she's got a piece of coal from Santa in her hand and is squeezing as hard as she can to make it into a diamond.

So Mr. Witherspoon has arrived in time for his big birthday party with his leash on. How come we didn't get pap pics of him leaving London or arriving in LA? So if we believe Reeke PR, Jake spends 24/7 at Reese's side, but what kind of wonderful family man abandons his family and close friends for a girlfriend and her kids. Once again goes to show how Reeke is all about making Reese look good. I'm wishing that Jake would have stayed in London, cause I'm sure we are due major photo ops to compensate for the Ryan in Sidney and maybe getting engaged rumors.

prairiegirl said...

Way to go, Reese. Man, you have finished vacuuming absolutely any remnants of Hotness right out of Jake, haven't you?

Maybe these nervous posters who have been visiting lately had a sneak preview of these new pictures? Oh yes, there's your hot lovebirds. The picture of pure reunited bliss.

lol. Jake, I hardly recognize ye anymore. What has happened.

There you go, guys. Birthday pictures coming up next.

prairiegirl said...

He looks beat. He looks ragged. And he looks like he literally just stepped off the plane in those clothes. Maybe picked up the flowers @ the airport.

Where is that hot guy from a year 1/2 ago? That guy was dropdead gorgeous. He has aged about 5 years this year. I can't believe I'm looking at the same guy from the Laker pictures.

prairiegirl said...

Wow, well now I've seen the rest of the pictures. Now that's what I'm talkin' about. So why is he looking so rough when he's with Reese & Ava? Those other pictures are dated today as well but his hair is whacked off. I'm confused.

Jake lookin' mighty fine- it's been a long time.

Checking in from work again. Bad M. Now I know why so many strange and worried commenters lately. Clenched fists, the deep frown between the brows, no smile. Yeah, this is a couple happy to see each other. Betrayed by body language once again. I would not be surprised if Jake flew into the US via Dulles where there are no paps and visted with Austin before reporting for work.

Both or just reese? She was probably mad at the weather, the nerve of it raining on her new hair. She told her people to either fix the weather or else they is gonna get fired.

prairiegirl said...

Thanks, click & look. The more I've just been thinking about it, the more I thought there was no way he could look so different in one day. lol!!

The comparison between the pictures is huge. I'm sure even non TBers can't deny the difference. Jake - Then. Jake - Now.

Man. I'd laugh if it wasn't so darn sad.

Special, you're a seasoned shopper then; planning ahead. Makes sense. It's all just a matter of adjusting & adapting. Being a lover of shopping, I'm sure I would have no trouble learning to adapt, lol.

Btw I can't remember who Special K said likes Arrested Development, was it Austin? Because Jake said a few years ago Arrested Development was his fav TV show. maybe J&A watched it together while licking frozen bananas.

prairiegirl said...

Her fist is clenched in just about every picture.

I'm liable to start calling Jake "Dumb Donald". Dumb Donald is the Fat Albert character who wore that cap on his head. I bet Reese just loves that cap on him.

Well it seems that Ted doesn't want Toothy Tile to come out at all now. The latest blind item from Ted is cocaine and some woman in a not very nice sounding hook-up...

Well if Jake's PR folks want to get rid of the last Toothy Tile fans this is a great way of going about it!

Former fan.

Hope he marries Reese it would serve him right if these past couple of BIs have any truth to them.

Jake said re AD in a print interview, I think it was GQ about 1-2 years ago.

Ava looks like her dad RP. Reese looks like she trying to look like a worn out domesticated Kiki. Her hair looks stringy and mangy. Its cold for LA, she could have put her hands in her pockets or worn gloves so yeah she looks mad. The 1 pic of Jakes hair..its red. LOL Another year of Reeke and its gonna be white. A year after that, gone. Jake already lost his smile and his sexy aura so whats a little hair. Hey Jake, you better start reading scripts for the prematurely aged character roles. You just wasted your sexyness, youth, looks, your fanbases, trust, admiration and integrity with Reeke. Altho you said you liked plays so maybe doing dinner theater in Peoria is more your style anyway.

Anonymous said...

Sigh! Yeah, Jakey, I hardly know you. I'm ready to believe anything, honestly. Reese's clenched fists - she's gonna get early arthritis - and her hands will be ugly if she doesnt calm down - oh man it's so sad!

Hsving to pimp out PR for another man's kids - it must be awful. Ryan and Deacon are lookalikes, also Ava and Reese.

What did Jake do to deserve this?

p.s. y'all are something else! todays post was beautiful!

I don't think it was Kiki and it probably could be more of the doing cocaine with the producer type story. Probably a sure I'm straight (or Bi what ever he was try to sell) I'm gonna go lay this chick over here!

Pretty pathetic but maybe he has to bail out his folks...

I say again I think something is up and this is Ted's way of 'dealing' with it. It seems as if Ted has definitely turned on Toothy Tile.

Wow. I've never seen such a HUGE blind item of Ted's, splashed over the page. He also used the word beard outright this time. Everything TT does, TC seems to match it. Wow. I don't know what to say. :(

Can't be Kiki, they broke up in '05, 3 years ago why would dhe be bitching now? Plus she is a junkie so the coke would be fun for her!

That said, I don't believe this BI, nor the one last week nor BT.

It seems Ted has turned on his muse, the only thingi can think of is that he heard the marriage rumors and believes them.

Anonymous said...

Toothy would make this lady blow lines all over his tight bod until he was “numb,” bitched the gal who did the blowing.

Huh? The 1st sentence sounds like she was doing the coke. But he was numb?

"the gal who did the blowing" sounds like a bj. A lot of coke will make a guy last..but too long. Like he never comes. He CAN'T come. I've had experience with it, doing a fucking great bj on someone for hours and ..nothing. Except a jaw ache. So I understand, but Teds 1st sentence..???

Then they could get down to business in what we're told were very "interesting" positions, i.e., painfully unnatural and not exactly enjoyable.

She shoulda offered a handjob. Wonder who it was.


OT kind of: I always wondered what that big deal with Diane Kruger at the Zodiac Cannes press conference was, why she showed up and sat next to Jake and they were "flirting". Now I know, iyt was for Jakes straight PR. Btw have you ever noticed theres never any interviews with Jakes onscreen sex scene ladies? And all the actresses seem to disappear from the industry after they appear with Jake? Is PR worried about something?

^ I don't see it PG. He looks hot as hell to me. There is a lot of change that has taken place in the pics posted today and the 2004 pics. Maturing I would say and getting sexy in a mature way. Now having Reese with him is another story. Watched small parts of TDAT yesterday, and I must say that Austin has transformed totally to me. I thought Austin was not good looking, but just average. The matured look of both of these guys are very scruffy and sexy. And the varied camera angles could make or break Jake looks in his younger days. Did he or didn't he have a nose job? At times it looks as if he grew into his handsomeness as Most men do.

prairiegirl said...

eastcoast, you're looking at the ones of him with Reese in the jeans & navy long sleeved shirt?

Again, I don't see the loss of sexiness in Jake. He looks annoyed of course. Because he's with Reese does not make him unsexy to me. We all know he seldom smiles while he's with her though.

....very "interesting" positions, i.e., painfully unnatural and not exactly enjoyable.


"Gag me" painfully unnatural and not exactly enjoyable (for her I'm guessing): it sounds like face fucking. FF can be very violent. And if it was with coke and he ws numb and couldn't have an orgasm and it took forever, ugh.

eastcoast, maybe you didnt know him when he was alive and kicking.

I also thinks somethings' up with Ted's TT BV also. I hope they are not getting married, but something tells me that it's gonna happen. There seems to be some behind the scene strategy, manuevering, check and check mate or something.

But, I could see a bisexual man or guy who is bearding doing this with a woman simply because things are or could get out of hand with who he really is. With all the scrutiny about the persons sexuality and he can't seem to keep it a secret, even if he was instructed to keep it a secret. You tell yourself, "yeah I like women too" and I'm good in the sack also. Then you prove it. While (sometimes) thinking about a man. LOL JMHO

Oh, do you mean like Anne Hathaway, Jennifer Aniston, Gwyneth Paltrow, Catherine Keener, Ellen Pompeo? Yeah I wonder what ever happened to all of them.

So you like the Dumb Donald Fat Albert hat, then? I can like the scruffy look, too, but he looks to me like he just stepped off the plane.

Oops - typeo! Overanxious, lol.

Valetino = Valentino

You know, I'm beginning to wonder about upcoming nuptials myself. And I never thought I'd be saying it either because I couldn't see Reese doing it. But 2 reasons are enough now to make me think it could be happening.

1) Ryan & Abbie seem to be getting rather serious and we've heard how vindictive Reese can be.

2) These last two BV's of Ted's. They're ugly & they're raw. He's raking Toothy over the coals like he's getting his last digs in and just upending the entire cart on him.

This last BV is about to do me in. I've even lost my appetite and lol, that's pretty hard to do!!
It doesn't get any uglier & more pathetic than cocaine & other drugs.

You know? Maybe Little Blue Pill was right. Little Blue Pill, you may be able to come back here & wave an "I Told You So" flag, eh?I'm stunned over this last one. I feel like things are crumbling in Toothy's world and I'm seeing the beginnings of a freefall. Something's sure not right. Ted was quiet for awhile and all of a sudden, he's come out swinging left & right. And he's pulling out the heavyduty ammunition. Jake may not be so amused & self-absorbed with his TT name anymore.

Where's my rose spectacled friend, Special? I need her bad!!! I need you to be my muscle relaxer, lol. I'm wound tight as a sailor's knot.

I haven't read the new BI yet. Came here first tonight. Before I leave to read it, I want to reply to eh re slash. It's true that most slash authors are women, but there are quite a few gay men writing as well. Their slash is generally more explicit and less romantic. That is they usually get down to business pretty quickly be it 5th base, a BJ or a HJ. Also, they are more apt to include other male partners in the fiction besides Jack/Ennis or Jake/Heath. I prefer female authors but it's good to get the perspective of a real gay male as well. One author in particular on DC forum was extremely prolific but has not written in months - too busy in real life. An author needs to write and writing what you know is often best. Now off to read Ted.

Little Blue Pill said...

Hi PG! Naw I would never say ITYS but like I said before I recognize what stuff looks like on people. No one believed me maybe they still don't but whatever, I still stand by what I said and what I saw. All the Cannes/Toronto etc. festival "glow" ( and the all-day interview attention span) isn't just freash air, youth and excitement about work.

Marriage to Reese? I don't know, thats pretty hardcore especially with what all we've seen physically is friends stuff twisted to look like more. And how would it end, Reese divorcing again? I'm starting to wonder if Reese is seeing someone who she shouldn't, like a married/getting divorced guy, and she's waiting. I think Reese is beyond the "cute actor" phase, I think she's planning for the future and looking for someone with real power. Lowly actors don't have it but people you don't see, like studio ownwers do, some high profile producers, agents also. The 85 year old owner of Paramount/Viacom is getting quietly divorced. Now wouldn't she love to step in be the 3rd wife and inherit that. I would be very surprised to see Reese waste her time and ambitions on Jake.

We shall see. See you later. I've been traveling and haven't been able to post except for today. I'll probably be back in a month. See you laters PG.

Wonder if was around the time before Kiki went to Utah for "depression". This was a while ago, it wasn't recently. You wonder if doing that was his last ditch effort before he gave in and bearded up.

I wonder if Ted struck with the lastest because Jake's birthday's tomorrow. Kind of calling him out - you've got a new year of you life - stop this and do something. And the timing with PoP finishing up. Like things were going to held until he was done, and then gloves were taken off.

You also wonder who is dropping the dimes on Toothy remember his old friends that were not happy with his bearding.

Or is it Kiki because she is sick of all this crap. And it make her look like the bad one.


Or is it on Reese's side because he wants out and she's not happy with that. If he wants out she is going to take him out and turn his fans on him, like people have turned on her. I could see her try to destroy him if he tried to cross her.

I'm so happy to see you. Thank you for coming back!! Please come back again. I have always, always thought about you and I'm so glad you're around. Happy traveling. I hope you're not headed for the north U.S. or eastward - they're getting it worse than we are. We're getting just a little light freezing rain/drizzle. But we're getting ready to hit the big deep freeze as I understand it.

And LBP, you helped ease my tension a little bit. You're right - another divorce so soon after RP? I wouldn't think she'd want that. I just couldn't see her doing it. But on the other hand, Ted's no longer saying "no way, no how". I dunno. I'm just a little wound up right now, lol, not thinking clear.

I know this sound totally nuts - but remember Ted talking about a Baby T 2 coming around the same time Jen & Ben were going to have theirs.

Would they leak all of this "stuff" to distract and so no one would even think about them having another baby. And not even try to look.

Because this latest BV sound like happened two summers ago before Rendition started filming when Jake and Austin were broken up that summer.

Because its a BV - they could say its all exaggerated later on.

Prairie Girl I have no intentions of looking at those pics. All I can say right now is that this has all become a big joke to me. It is all a game and entertainment. If Jake is the person Ted says he is then Jake is one f ed up mfer. If Ted is lying then Ted is one messed up mf er. Who knows.

This latest BI had to have happened well over a year ago, if you date the bearding to the coming out in Rome in 10/07. What I wonder is why is this story just coming out now? Seems odd that it would take a story like that so long to leak. With two TT BIs back to back, it seems that Ted has a new source.

It's not Kiki, they broke up 3 years ago and she wouldn't be bitching about doing coke. Ted claims this happened before his current beard, Kiki went into rehab last year while he was with Reese.

ted is alleging that it was some other chick and it happened when he was contemplating coming out, that would be around the summer/fall of '05 according to Ted or maybe '06.

I don't believe this BI or the one from last week, all of a sudden two weeks in a row people are tslking and it has nothing to do with Pop wrapping or his b-day imo.

IMO he may believe the marriage rumors and this his way of venting and also have the remaining fans of TT go bye-bye because his muse sounds like a piece of shit.

Special K said...

I have one question for everyone -

Why is it that for some people they can believe the last two BI's but not about about the Baby T?

I'm not saying I don't think the last two things didn't happen - the timing does seem weird yes. Jake is no saint never was never will be.

But some people will believe in the salacious bad things but at the same time can't believe that there could ever be a baby.

Anonymous said...

Speaking for me, it's not a matter of him being good, bad or a saint. It's not even the blind items, it's just that for me now, he's not the same actor. He's gone off in a different filmmaking direction. Brokeback made me take notice of him, but I don't think we'll ever see something like that again. But I'm glad we did. :)

Disney isn't paying attention to Ted, you are naive if you think otherwise.

These latest missives seem dated, methinks Ted has stuff he writes and applies them to different BI's the last 2 could have easily applied to anyone.

He sounds pissed/annoyed, I still say the marriage rumors are the culprit and he believes them.

Doesn't matter what he writes, he could say TT killed Boo and ate him and is contemplating a sex operation, it's a BI, he can't get into trouble.

Not only do I believe Disney isn't paying attenion bu I also think that Jake and Reese's people aren't either , we all know Jake's people aren't paying attention or care considering how long it's been going on.

The flowers were not for Reese - they were for Ava. If they were for Reese she would have carried them in her tightly clenched fists.

Awww, I hear ya, Tom. I'm about at my limit, too. That last BV was ugly enough, now this one is past my own tolerance level. I draw the line at drugs; I don't care what it is and what reason one has for doing them.

I've got a big hug for you, Tom, and for you, netb. I'm serious as all getout. It's painful at this point, isn't it? He was such a beautiful kid, seeming to be rather unspoiled by it all. And it has spiraled out of control in a matter of a year. He's a lost soul, I feel. I've seen it in his eyes ever since those "family outing" pictures taken during the week of Heath's death. There've been a couple of moments where he's looked okay, but 3/4 of the time? He doesn't look okay, and I'm not talking physically. I'm talking emotionally & psychologically.

Because if he & Austin have joined to have a baby this year, this should be the happiest year of his life. Instead, it looks like the opposite.

Because it's easier to believe that a closeted guy who already has a reputation for having weird sex and doing drugs is still having weird sex and doing drugs then it is to believe that he decided to beard up because he wanted to be seen as straight and yet at the same time decided to have a fucking BABY with his gay partner.

Special K said...

I agree the BI's seem old. That it happened before - again its the timing that is most interesting.

Anonymous said...

Thanks PG - I'm all for people coming out when they are ready, but I never did think much of bearding and never will. I'm a Brokeback fan, and with Heath gone and Jake unrecognizable, it's the end of an era it seems. I just hope he doesn't start making films that are total schlock, but do great box office. We talk about great topics here, so there's plenty else to discuss. :)

Excellent point, Special. Don't know. And I have doubt in the back of my mind on all 3, although I am leaning toward believing in BT. Or I was. If indeed all this other hankypanky shenanigans & carrying on is post-BT, then I've seriously got to wonder where Jake's head is at.

This whole thing is just nuts. I can't believe the change in this guy's life in a matter of a year. And this is just what we see on the surface; we're not privy to being in his back jean pocket to see the rest. I think I'd be afraid to at this point.

I really, really don't want to believe all this drug talk. You know, you dabble in that cocaine & meth and they say that it is just the hardest stuff to get off of. Look at how many celebrities/everyday people have relapses. What Ted is talking about is dark. It's scary. And it's the desperate kind of behavior that only someone who has lost control of their life would engage in. I feel like I could be looking at someone who is not one inkling what he appeared to be.

Again - this lastest one was before the bearding and they were starting the Reese and Jake rumors in the fall of 2006 when they were laughing on the set - on Rendition. Because by April 07 they were "dating" according to the rewritten stories.

That's what makes me wonder if this happened that bad summer when he and Austin were broken up.

Anonymous said...

I think this is all part of doing drugs with the producer weekend. This is the part Ted didn't really tell back then. Just had to make it sound like it occurred just now, not to seem too spiteful.

Interesting thought! Another option is Reese's PR could have planted these to try and box in Jake, it's not like she can trick him by getting pregnant.

Hm... I think I need some more tinfoil!

I could comment for hours. Right now I wish we could all get together in a room and yak, yak, yak. But in the interest of brevity, here are my comments to the days events. 1. Count me on the side of Jake is not looking hot. Jake has been looking unkempt and unwashed since Reeke began including in these latest pictures. A real turnoff for most women; his way of rebelling. 2. There was talk of Toothy and cocaine use before with the HW big wig. His parents are my generation and lived in HW many years. Drugs were SOP, so Jake would have been exposed to that culture. Not a stretch to think he's tried them. Do you think Emmerichs infamous parties were coke free? 3. R Downey called Jake wet, dark and wild. Jake did not earn that based on the bland stuff we've been allowed to see. And for Downey to call someone wild, he must really be out there. 4. Back on WFT1, a woman who worked as a photo retoucher commented about how much Jake's teeth had changed. She worked on one of his photo shoots and really had to doctor them because of it. Cocaine affects the teeth. She wondered if that was the cause. The timing is about right. Plus we know he had a break up with Austin and a deep depression that could lead to drug use - he needed to escape. 4. I dont think Ted has an agenda. He reports what he hears. Someone is talking lately, that's all and it is too juicy not to repeat. Jake is on top of the mountain right now, which makes him a target. Nothing stays secret since the internet.

Aw, I just noticed, NE, that you took the tb off your name. I was like, who's NE? Then as I was just turning my mattress over, it dawned on me, and I had to come back here & comment. I will respect that and now call you NE.

You know, I had a rough time with your all-caps NETB instead of little netb, but now I really need to adjust & adhere to the change. I'm sorry. It's been a really, really, really disappointing & discouraging evening. And not at all because our beliefs in the fakeness of Reeke have been shaken. No, it's because we're finding out alot more about Jake than we really care to know.

^^Not saying I believe the last 2 BI's but I also think something is about to happen. Maybe a marriage. Ted seems fed up with Jake and I do believe half of Ted's latest TT rants are bullshit. Just to keep some fans. I agree Tom it's entertainment, it always was been, but it has been taken to a new level and the ride has some of us TT fans not knowing what to believe or to simply give up or throwup.

Special I don't believe in BabyTile and never have. Although I must admit I was waiting September 07 just as most here was. And I wanted to be wrong. I don't think Jake and Austin would do such a STUPID Thing. And I do mean stupid. Bring a baby into this world and hide it. The (BOTH OF THEM). I will not leave Austin out of this as some do. Regardless if J/A are gay or bisexual I just don't see them doing this. I have more respect for the both of them. The are young but getting older and wiser and they both seem to have put there careers first. And it's nothing wrong with that. Nothing at all. As everyone knows, I for the most part have not bought into the romance of J/A. I think there was a sexual relationship that almost went further, but was halted because of ambition, image and fear of the unknown and the consequences. I think Jake and Austin are bisexual and will not come out unless busted in the act and (proven) or, in their older years. This is when most say "oh hell, I don't give a shit who knows". Fuck em!

destiny said...

Regarding Ted's last two items and Baby Tile, not sure if it makes a difference, but the BT stuff ran in the regular column and in letters, as if Ted was reporting on something, but couldn't use the real name. I don't think Ted would run something about a baby if he wasn't pretty confident of his source. A BV, on the other hand, has always struck me as something that Ted probably just runs with and, given the sordid nature of so many of them, they are not something prone to confirmation from a second, or even trusted, source. So personally I put more credence in Baby Tile than the sordid stories.

That being said, Jake has not looked good to me in a long time, and I thought his eyes looked like he was on something in those last photos from London. The sad fact of the matter is that HW would rather you be a closeted, fucked up drug addict than a gay man. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if he isn't using drugs to try to numb the pain of bearding, closeting, the pressure of the business, etc.....

The item sounds like Kiki to me, it says his last real female lover, that would seem to rule out, say, some random producer.

It is interesting that we're getting all this at once. Maybe somebody decided to spill the beans after last week's item?? Maybe people are concerned about him and think airing dirty laundry will get him to take a look at what he is going??

Hey PG, M and anyone else, you know there's a chat room on this site? If any of you feel like doing that now, I'd be happy to pop in there.

I don't this does anything to prove that Reeke is any more real.

Sometimes ignorance is bliss. But you know I've had people that have been close to me tell me things that I had a hard time when they told me. Sometime it was shocking and sometimes it was disappointing but I had to work through my feelings about it. Sometimes it took me longer than others, and some I'm still working on. But I still find the good in them, because you know what I believer there is good part in everyone.

prairiegirl said...

I'm up for a chat if I could get on there, lol! We need to set up a conference call!

No, Special, I'm not saying that I don't think Reeke is fake! I do. More than ever. I was saying that because I could just see some non TB'ers coming on here & trying to, you know, pick on a low moment, if you know what I mean.

I hope you're right, Destiny. Maybe somebody's going for the jugular - for shock value. Well, they're sure shocking, that's for sure.

m, if this trend continues of these pictures of Unkempt Jake, I can see slash writers having a really hard time keeping their muse going. And I don't know how many of them believe in Toothy Tile, but for the ones who do? I would think it'd be extremely hard to hang onto one's muse after reading these last couple of BV's. He's a real turn off sexually right now. And I can't believe I'm saying that about Jake Gyllenhaal.

It ain't kiki, they broke up 3 years ago, so why would she be bitching 3 years later? And about cocaine?? Kiki???LOL!!

I he means Kiki then this bit is 3 years old or he hooked up with her again after that.

It was meant to mean another chick, real female lover could just mean a trickmor Ted asumes it was his last real female lover, could have been a hooker/call girl, men would have no problem asking a call girl to do something like that, not a long time GF.

All said, this BI is BS as was the one last week.

As much as I'd love to chat, husband is tapping his foot for dinner right now. It's pretty clear Ted does not mean Kiki, but a one time hook up. Wasn't there a waitress that got some attention around that time period. Obviously someone still in the area who is now talking.

Have to run now but if anyone is interested, ONTD has a pic of Taylor Kitsch which is to die for. Will check back in a couple hours.

Well, here's an update from the gang. We were all in the chat room except for some silly reason my computer wasn't letting me participate. So that's where everyone is right now. Except me!

Probably a hint for me to get to bed anyways. I'll be dead in the water tomorrow morning. Heavy sigh.

Well, an interesting evening. A traumatic evening to say the least. Probably alot of nightowl activity tonight.

Sweet dreams to everyone who is here. And a special sweet dreams to my friend, Little Blue Pill, who we were reunited with tonight. What a blessing!! Love to you, LBP.

And a thump on the head to ECF, lol. No, I'm just kidding, eastcoast. You're fun to joke around with. You need to hang out here more often, know that? Sweet dreams to you, too.

Sorry about my chat performance failure last night, guys! That guy who fixed my computer - I will say one thing. He set my security up so darn high, lol, that ain't nothin' gettin' in here. And when I got on there, it was blocking all pop ups, so I have a feeling that may've been what was preventing my comments from taking. That's my only guess. I'll have to see about removing popup blocker on that website and seeing if that works.

Huh? The 1st sentence sounds like she was doing the coke. But he was numb?

External use of coke makes the skin numb.
When you finish snorting you generally rub the small remains on your gums. Makes them numb.

I hope they are not getting married, but something tells me that it's gonna happen. There seems to be some behind the scene strategy, manuevering, check and check mate or something.

I have a feeling he's going to marry her for whatever reasons. As I've said before, Jake has done ALL the things Hollywood kids do. Drugs, random sex, weird sex, cocaine parties, etc.-he's been through it all. I've never believed in his good boy image. It's just plain impossible. He said himself he started when he was 15. I believe he's had a lot of sexual partners of both sexes,men have alwasy been interested in dragging this blue-eyed wonder into their beds, too.

Now, I don't know. I believe he was told to stop whatever he was doing around 2 years ago. By PR, parents, Maggie, I don't know. And that was the time when Reese came along. I also think he's always been amazingly insecure for such a hot piece of a** he is. His parents turbulent relationship,his Hollywood childhood, his desire to become a major movie star and be really rich, his conflicting sexual comments, his bad temper at times- I think he's been looking for something all his life and he doesn't know what the hell it is. Now, Reese gives him some sort of stability he needs to survive, to push his career forward, to stop going crazy.He looks like he is exausted. He's been fighting himself for a really long time, having sold himself to tabloids.

Maybe he hates himself for being attracted to men, for having crashes, for thinking about them while having sex with women.

I believe he is with her, but not because she is the love of his life as media wants us to believe. He truly wants to leave his demons behinds and sees her and her family as a safe way, wants kids, thinking they'll bring the meaning into his life. He is with her because of the kids he wants to have, he believes he can change when he becomes a father.

I'm sorry we're talking about things like cocaine and bjs on his birthday. I also do believe he is not a bad person deep inside, a person's eyes can never lie, and his eyes have kindness and sadness in them. Dustin Hoffman said that sadness was a part of Jake. He is a perfect example that god-like looks and money do not bring you happiness and peace if your soul is troubled.

Happy birthday Jake. Find your place on this earth,find peace and, please, do not be afraid of who you are.

This is only my personal opinion.

Lily,

you don't make sense. Two years of reeking and Jake doesn't look better nor happier.

You make it sound like Reese is the only available and fertile woman in the US - Reese's PR is selling the same BS.

prairiegirl said...

Can't leave this alone today. Lily, you made a really wellmade statement. And I believe alot of what you said except for like what Smiley said. He doesn't look like this is what he wants at all. I think he's only in it to hide his real life.

Look at the way he's holding those flowers of Ava's. He's carrying them so carelessly like he's off to school and it's his brown bag lunch. Those flowers will be lucky to have made it to the auditorium in one piece. It's those little things that belie what these 2 are trying to convey. The things they're not even realizing they're doing or don't care anymore. He looks like he could swat somebody with those things. Poor Ava. Hope she was able to salvage some flowers that are in one piece after that.

I'm with you, Lily. It's a shame we're going to be spending his birthday talking about his wet, dark, & wild life instead of his next movie project or something like that. Hmphf. Gives those words a whole new meaning, and not a good one either.

The concert pics - where's Deacon? Fantastic mom Reese pimping her kid out to lend credibility to her fake relationship again.

I bet Reese wants something official now that Ryan is in Australia with Abbie and the relationship now seems to be getting serious. It's unbelievable that after 2 years she is still hung up on Ryan. Man, the woman is a total psycho. Well, Jake got himself into it, he can get himself out of it.

As for Ted's BV, it's totally horrible. What I'm interested in is how's this fitting in with Reese's image. Is Reese's life now going to be with a bf/husband who's constantly in BIs humping someone's ass/snorting cocaine/having sex in weird positions?! oh my
Maybe Reese better find herself another fake bf.
I don't understand how Austin can tolerate this mess. I feel sad because my respect for him is beginning to slip. Jake, I don't care. I haven't been a Jake fan for a very long time....

I dont think Ted has an agenda. He reports what he hears.

I think this too. Ted gets info from sources he considers credible (of course we have no way to know if they are or not) and publishes it. He's a gossip columnist, that's what they do.

Why don't I believe in Baby Tile? I just can't buy that these two could hide a baby this long and nothing would get out. I know some people think this is possible but I just don't.

I've said for a while now that I think Jake and Reese will get married. I still think so.
