9 1/2 degrees .... Juror #9?

You think Ted should have used these pics instead?


Funny how they both slept with Basinger on screen.



Jake's back to court and time will tell if they want him to be a juror. Guess he forgot to send his reschedule request postcard back. But good for him participating in his civic duty. Although in HW some thing participating in their civic duty is illegally parking and paying the fines. You gotta wonder what Jake had in his back for the day. Everybody brings different stuff to past the time. This is usually a couple with newspapers, a few more with books, and their always puzzles. Got think that Jake had in bag of tricks - His Mac Book? Crossword puzzle? Script? Newspapers? Us Magazine? Hey he might need to catch up on what's really going on with him. And you know he had to have a snack in there too. But something healthy - you know trainer approved. But as soon as he gets released from jury duty that boy is going straight to Sprinkles and getting cupcakes.


Oops! This is too good to forget - OMG's first music discussion. Starting this Friday night at 5:00 EST and all day Sat. Come by and join us to talk about all things music. This is one thing everyone can join in on. What are you listening to? What are you favorite kinds of music? What are your favorite songs? And what are those guilty pleasures that you dare to admit you listen to? See you Friday.

LOL.

And yes, Ted should have gone with those pictures. I completely forgot about 9 1/2 Weeks. I've never actually seen that movie.

I love Mickey Rourke, today and always. I loved his GG acceptance speech, when he thanked his dogs. He's a treasure and always will be. I still think he's attractive. He's Mickey Rourke! and I did see 9-1/2 Weeks. :)

You guys are killin' me today. This is one of my fave songs evah. You had to see the suave Bryan Ferry live, back in the day. *Sigh* The Paul Young song, you played, Wherever I Hang My Hat (That's My Home) is one of my all-time faves too. :)

I watched Prayers for Bobby last night, it was very good. A child's self esteem needs protecting and nurturing. Lifetime has done a tremendous service by showing this movie.

Jake G. Spits Up after Court

Jake Gyllenhaal was so bored after his first day of jury service yesterday, he could spit. Yes, we know it doesn't make sense, but he spit as he left the courthouse.

He's back in court at 10:30 AM. He's on a panel and has not yet been questioned by the lawyers. We were there yesterday as Jake sat all morning in the jury assembly room, squished into a corner by a really large man.

Will Jake make the cut today? A lot is riding on it. He stands to earn $15 a day and $.34 a mile.

Stay tuned.


I don;t see any spitting and don't think Jake is a spitter (LOL shutup! I mean on the street! LOL) LOL if anything I see him with bubble gum. Love the A lot is riding on it. He stands to earn $15 a day and $.34 a mile. part tho!

Not so easy to get out of jury duty

When I was on a jury a few years ago, another juror told me his mother had jury duty at the same time as we did. She got on a jury for a murder case that the jurors were told would take at least 6 weeks. One of the jurors on that case told the judge that if she was put on the jury it would cause her financial hardship because she would lose 6 weeks' pay and would probably lose her apt, as she was already behind in her rent. She was put on the jury.

Just looking at the AT again; Ted mentions Austin along with other people he has posted about this week, so it's possible he's just referring to things he's already said, and there will not be any new gossip. The letter may just be to emphasize that what he has said about those people is juicy, i.e., Austin sleeps with boys, Tea is involved with Billy Bob, etc.

But we could still get something about GG as a followup too.

Anonymous said...

Already done! You didn't say which one so the doctor emailed it to all the courts in D.C. system. He wrote "It is in my professional opinion Ms. Wicked is highly obsessed with music and mermaid lore and I advise you not to order her to jury duty. However if you insist on her presence be prepared to converse with her in sing-song and make sure her seating arrangement can accomodate a 5 foot long tail and a very large fishtank."

I'm having a few retro moments - I saw suave Bryan many times back in the day, and less suave Paul standing outside a restaurant :) And I love Kim B's hair in that photo.

Our evening paper mentioned Reese and Jake renting in London - looked to be a repeat of the info from last year so you have to wonder if Jake is due back over here.

Jake at the courthouse and not happy about TMZ being there

TMZ

Anonymous said...

The fact that Ted mentioned Austin a 2nd time and referred to "plenty of juice" tells me heard some juicy gossip. And Jake looks absolutely miserable last week or so, like he is near tears or even a breakdown. He is also acting like a real shit in the TMZ videos. Can't blame Austin if he gets fed up with all the bearding. I wonder if the Lakers kiss caused a problem. In that brief interview Reese did after she said "we had to kiss", emphasis on "had". Like even she knew that too much PDA was a problem that Jake tries to avoid so as not to upset Austin any more than necessary.

"Can't blame Austin if he gets fed up with all the bearding."

What !!! If there is bearding , it is with Austin's consent from the start, Too easy to make believe the poor Austy is "all innocent"
Now if he is fed up , he has to leave him !
Ted said once he hadly understood he is still with jake, I am starting to wonder too.

Anonymous said...

To me looks like lately Jake isn't happy being anywhere these days. I watched vid in full screen slo mo at least 10 times and I don't know if Jake kicked the guy. (1)Could be the guy faked it: cameras have distance lenses, why would a pap have to be 6 inches away? The reflection in the window shows legs standing 4-5 feet away. (2)The pap guy got hit by the door and thought Jake kicked him (3)Jake had to step back when the door opened and he accidentally stepped on the guy (4)Jake kicked the guy but like the spitting I have hard time believing it becuaes of Jakes good pap history UNLESS Reese and Reeke has REALLY changed him for the worse.

Its nice to know I'm not the only one who pushes when its pull!

Jake is running away from paparazzi. Why? Why can't he just ignore them like he did 1.000 times before?

Anonymous said...

Jake flung the door open so fast I think it hit the guy in the shin, Jake kicking him seems like an outright lie, a way to get at him for being so aggressive. m, you're right, Jake is being a total ass in these videos. I've said it before, but only since Reeke have we seen him act like this; it's still a shame to see.

I dislike jury duty although I've only been called up twice, never served. I have to say that I took some enjoyment from seeing something beyond the control of Reeke and their PR intervening for a couple of days.

Anonymous said...

He's running because he was afraid to be late? not sure about jury duty but traffic school locks the doors so if you're late from lunch break, tough luck, you have to forfeit and do it all over again, pay and register for another session. If jury duty's like that who could blame Jake for not wanting to do it again?

PS. good thing he got away from the people who have jury duty next month who were holding him hostage in the parking lot so he'd be locked out and have to do it again!

HEAVY SIGH.

You know? We could/should be on here talking about a new film of Jake's, or about Austin & Jake, or about the latest Atticus walk pics, or the latest biking pics, or whatever. But no.

Now we have spitting and running and overall pretty arrogant behavior. For no reason, really. I mean, everyone knows the paps can be intrusive and annoying. But I am not seeing that here in either video. (LOL-the pap guy in the door video is taking a real beating over his voice)

It seems pretty clear to me that Jake is spitting at the guy's feet. You can tell by the camera movement and Jake could've turned & spat towards his left. I don't get his behavior. You know, maybe if he was being really harrassed over a big personal story. Or he was harrassed endlessly like Britney Spears used to be. But he's not. And he & Reese have been using paparazzi during this entire Reekeathon when it's been to their advantage. So you know what? What on earth kind of dreaded question could he have been wanting to avoid? He was running for that door like he was running from a nightmare.

Well, he can look forward to that vid being blasted all over gossip blogs for a couple days; who knows, maybe even on some of the gossip TV night shows. TMZ reaches a lot bigger audience than Just Jared.

The door vid didn't seem as bad; it's hard to see well. But I'd really love to know his excuse for the spitting. You know, Jake, you can be angry & cuss somebody out. Say angry words. You can slam a door or slam a phone down in an expression of anger. You can brush somebody off because you are just done talking to them. You can ignore someone when they disgust you. But spitting? That's an action that's filled with about as much hate & venom as I can imagine. There is never an excuse to spit at the direction of a human being, I don't care what they're doing.

He could've done alot of other things, even waved the camera guy off & said "NOT NOW" and that would've been alot easier to handle. But spitting? That is a real low for me and hard for me to understand for no more than what that camera guy was saying.

Jakey Gyllenhaal’s a Jittery Juror

Wonder what got Jake Gyllenhaal so riled up he just kicked that cameraman while doing jury duty? Sure enough, J.G. was just holed up at the Clara Shortridge Foltz criminal courthouse in downtown L.A. for a day and change, appearing as a potential juror on a misdemeanor battery case.

Reese's man-sized handbag was starting to get anxious at the possibility of being cast as a juror. Actually, doesn't look good for any justice to get served, I'll tell ya that much; here's why:

"He kept fidgeting and looking around the courtroom," a source squawked to us about Mr. G.'s slightly stooped appearance downtown. Guess Jakey doesn't know what to do with his hands when he's not holding a vanilla latte, a dog leash or Witherspoon's tiny paw in it? Just a thought, nothing more.

Continued our insider on a sad-lookin' Jakey-poo: "You could tell he really wants to leave."

Well, duh. No one wants to be there. But nonetheless, probably the first time Jake's felt like a normal dude in years. And he could use some free time from being a PDA machine. But Gyll-hon was dismissed, led away by sheriff and court escorts. "It seemed like he had more security today than yesterday," said our source. "Definitely the star treatment."

Rest assured J.G. spent his few hours of normal-guy time wisely: snacking on some sneaked-in munchies and reading a script. Could it be a sequel to The Juror? Or Brokeback Mountain, perhaps? I mean, Milk is such a hit, right? Doesn't that mean the market's ripe for some sort of homo-franchise to be brought out?

And who cares if Jake died in the movie? That's what prequels are for! Oh, never mind, it was probably some kind of anger management pamphlet disguised inside a script folder, don't you think?

Jittery, fidgeting, anger, sad looking. Could be from anything or regular personality trait like boredom, nervous around strangers, coffee, worry about BT, Austin, work etc. I just hope it isn't "medicinal" related or if it is, because its being missed not due to be replaced.

Poor Atticus. Yeah, maybe you ought to just stick close to your bed for the night, eh? Stay out of daddy's way for a little while.

I love this song. Always one of my favorites.

I don't know. I'm just kind of stumped. Like something is causing pressure on him. He's venting out and maybe really not even directly at the paps. Could be acting out frustration about something else. Hmm. Gee. Could it be the endless bearding? Getting a little old, maybe? Interesting that even Ted's insider called him "sad-looking".

prairiegirl said...

LOL! I just noticed that Ted called Reese's paw tiny! snicker!!

Hey PG. To answer your question from the other night - No its not snowing here in ATL just fog and light rain. I guess I should count myself lucky (I do). I know about harsh weather from NYC and Buffalo so im not complaining.

I saw that "x" earlier today, oddly enough, but not tonight. I think it must be a blogger problem.

I don't get the Biography channel, so won't be able to watch that show on Heath, I would have liked to.

Our weather was really crappy in NY today, snow overnight, then heavy rain, so we had little lakes at every street corner. Ugh, I hate rain in winter.

Fallout might be 1 of these I'm guessing; meltdown, come out, major reeking, go on like noghting happened. The 5th choice I don't want to list.

Not sure about the reeking though, wouldn't Reese be embarassed to have a bf who spits and kicks? Not a great image for her good mom reputation in Pop Sugar either.

This silly pap annoyed me , assaulting Jake with his questions, he wanted a reaction , he got one LOL

prairiegirl said...

Assaulting Jake with his questions.

Give me a break. There is not an excuse for spitting on someone. It's an action of contempt and there was no justification. There was not a hoarde of photographers & paps in his face. I didn't see Jake absolutely surrounded by a media frenzy, engulfed in a crush of cameras flashbulbs, needing professional escort to guide him through the mob. And I didn't hear any onslaught of questions. I heard one guy. One guy. Please don't make any excuses for what was an overreaction on Jake's part.

This is beyond belief the people defending this behavior. You know, when I see Jake absolutely hounded & mercilessly pursued by a throng of media everywhere he goes, then I will understand the frustration. He is nowhere near that point.

I see a short trend so far. Jake eluding paps/media like they have a contagious plague and there's no antidote for it. He was hunched over like Greta Garbo in that spitting video. Did anyone even see his face in either video? I sure didn't. Not that I needed to, but the dark clothes, hat pulled down, hunched over, rushing through, running; and all he's doing is going to jury duty. I'm not picking on him for that; I'm just saying why the overreaction. He continues acting like Greta Garbo and he's going to make the pap attention worse. Because he is acting like he's hiding or avoiding something, plain as day.

I know. It's early. I'm on some new medication and it's apparently taking time for me to adjust to it. Hence, I can't sleep right now. Kacie, where are youuuuu????

Maybe Jake is mad because he knows that Ted is about to go after Austin big time. He is no saint in this charade.

prairiegirl said...

No, I agree, funny, not near the end of the world. But still, to me, it belies something brewing inside.

And it could be all about him protecting. It's sort of reminiscent of the actions of a wounded animal or an animal guarding something. I have watched those Animal Cop shows on Animal Planet and one of the tests they give a dog to see if it's adoptable is they give it a bowl of food. Then someone sidles up to it to try and act like they're either trying to get at it or take it. If the animal snaps or even growls viciously, that usually spells doom for that dog because it shows aggressiveness. I know it's kind of a weird analogy, but the way Jake is suddenly running/evading (i.e., at the Buffalo Club, in & out of the GG's, and now just going into a stinkin' courthouse) and glaring, flipping off, and now spitting on the press, is some kind of defensive behavior.

Because see, Reese isn't having this type of reaction. It's him. And all he's doing is making it more & more obvious. Seems like if he'd just try & act "normal", or like he usually has in the past, there'd be no attention made.

Hey, this is hilarious! AMC is showing that old Batman movie. The original with Adam West. What an absolute HOOT!

I agree with Rattler; it's nothing but Dudology 101 - the chapter on expressing unrefined, macho annoyance - baseball players spit even when they're not annoyed, guys spit, young toughy guys spit, it's a guy thing. Not the politest behaviour, and I'm not defending him, mind you, but it could definitely be just a guy thing. Jake seems to be losing patience lately. The next chapter may be fisticuffs! ;)

destiny said...

Spitting is not a "guy" thing, unless you subscribe to the neanderthal, beat my chest because I'm a man shcool of thought. I live in NYC and have to deal with millions of people and the occassional dustup. There is no excuse for kicking someone or spitting on them, no matter how bad the situation, and I know first hand what it is like to experience someone out of control and fear it escalaing into violence. Saw it happen on the subway about a month ago when one man got angry because another man accidently bumped into him trying to push onto the subway. It was tense and ugly.

Jake has been dealing with the paps for years now, and spends a lot of time in NYC, he's used to having people right on top of him. Something is going on that is causing him to act differently now, not surprising given what we've seen in the past few months, starting with the homeless look and the constant wearing of the hat.
