But like any good groove let's break it down"
"Mr. Nichols - I call him that because I have the u
tmost respect for Mr. Austin Nichols. To be perfectly honest, I really didn't know if he and I were going to get along when we first met.He was too beautiful. And beautiful men frighten me! But Mr. Nichols is a nerdy, brainy, eccentric man in disguise.
This is Kryptonite, Kryptonite I say! You are powerless to it.
True story: I was giving Mr. Nichols a ride home one evening, when a party bus full of young women started hollering at us. One of the rowdy things mooned us.....although Austin and I debated as to whether it was a full moon, or and undies-on moon (which is not really a moon at all.) Not to be outdone, he instructed me to speed up and pull up next to them, at which point, he dropped his drawers and delivered the fullest of moons. Wiccans could have conducted ceremonies under this moon. Coyotes howled at it.Cows jumped over it.
There's a lot of howling going on, cowing jumping, wonder if Toothy tiling? Of course it
wouldn't be a Southern thing without some Moonshine. We had a good laugh, and then I dropped him off. Later that night, he wandered into a bar and happened upon the very same pack of girls who had heckled us earlier.
Coincidence doesn't exist for Mr. Nichols. He is a magnet, and the earth is drawn to him,
If he is a magnet. Is Jake steel? Max Steel? Look for future chapters of The Adventure of Max Steel and Big Magnet right here on OMG. so of course he met up with this group again. I believe they bought him shots all night."
All this Mr. Nichols makes me think of Janet Jackson. Ya think Austin ever says?
No, my first name ain't baby,
Its Austin... Mr. Nichols if you're nasty
LOLL! Wow, I would've loved to see that moon of Austin's! That guy sounds totally fun, doesn't he? Like, who knows what's going to happen when you're with him? His friends are very lucky, sounds like. Nice post, Special. You know I like that second picture of him, too. Don't need a Scripto Highlighter to find the magnet of attention in that pic, lol.
ReplyDeleteNow, Special, sure enough, I almost lost my comment when you changed posts. But I was prepared! Didn't lose it.
In response to Long Time Lurker, I just wanted to say that:
I don't think it's anger & accusations all the time. Now, I exclude myself when I say this because I have not been blameless in getting personal & I admit that, but it seems to me that the majority of the angry comments come everytime the bearding has escalated and gone over the top. And to me, that is directed at behavior more so than Jake himself. I have absolutely no doubt that people here still love/like the guy. People were excited over the possibility of him doing Damn Yankees. Excited over the pictures from NYC. Very much excited over a year ago when I first started lurking here. But as the bearding escalated & kept growing, of course it gets harder to be positive.
If I have a co-worker or a friend who I get along with totally, everything mostly is fine. But if that person starts hanging with a totally different set of people and it changes their behavior towards something I would no longer admire or believe in, how do you just ignore it and not let it affect your relationship? You can't unless you're just a doormat, with no will to stand up & fight for the friendship that you have. Because you don't want to lose it, you fight for it. And that involves honesty & calling a spade a spade, sometimes. It's the only way to get a point across sometimes.
Don't know if that makes sense, but anyways...
Speaking of coworkers & friends, I need to email my little buddy because I sure do miss her.
ReplyDeleteTalk to y'all later.
Oh I find this just so funny. This is from Reese being the cover story in April's Elle.
ReplyDeleteOn boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal: "He's fabulous. He really is a fantastic guy."
You went with fabulous? Yeah that makes him sound so straight. Why is it that I hear a choir of drag queens singing FAB U LOUS!
Evie honey, you gotta give Reese the word list of pre-approved words again, and hire a damn script supervisor if you really want to go through with this foolishness.
LOL
And he's fantastic too! Fabulous and fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWhat straight (or even bi) woman would describe her bf as "fabulous"?! Bet its Elle who calls Jake a "bf" not Reese, like how Vogue slipped his name/description in, never Reese.
ReplyDeleteSpecial what we need is 1 of the bus/bar girls to blog and spill.
ReplyDeleteI am pretty disgusted by the Jake/Reese photo spread in US magazine.
ReplyDeleteIt's crossed the line into homophobia. I've never - with the exception of Tom Cruise - seen bearding taken to such a sickening depth in modern times.
Fuck Ted - *I'm* pissed.
I am pretty disgusted by the Jake/Reese photo spread in US magazine.
ReplyDeleteThen you should know US did the spread and the layout. They're the same pictures that are at IHJ and that you've seen over and over. Reeke can't sell a cover for US but US has to get ad revenue, so they put them in the magazine. The staff did what Janice wanted them to do, sell it.
Back to the post today - wonder if Austin needs the Austin Nichols belt buckle or does he even need a belt buckle to activate his magnetic powers.
ReplyDeleteUS did what Reeke wanted. The magazine came out a day or two after the photos were taken; clearly the article was written, and just waiting for Reeke to take the Bastille Day photos.
ReplyDeleteAnd it looks like with Elle that the "official" rollout of Reeke as a couple continues. Why now after two years of this? Can wedding bells be far behind???
Do I have the wrong US spread? Is there another one this week? Well, if there is, it's still coming from Jake and Reese. If Jake wasn't bearding they'd have no photos to run a spread like that in the first place.
ReplyDeleteWedding bells? Oh puhleeze. If anything a long long long years and years long engagement that gets broken off by Reese because its not right and I'm so heartbroken I can never love another vagina again.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteAnd don't say Jake bearding make you do it. You make the choice every day to bitch and to keep bitching.
ReplyDeleteGive it up Special they don't care. You tried and keep trying. It's not worth it.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I'd love to just sit here and enjoy today's post about Austin, I can't. Unfortunately there are days when all the lipstick in the world (Austin, Jake in jeans that are too big) is not going to cover the pig (Jake's homophobic behavior, Austin's going along with it).
ReplyDeleteAnd if you think the pr for stars like Reese and Jake doesn't have any input when it comes to magazines like Elle and US, then you clearly don't know anything about the magazine business.
I wanted to add that just because all I can see at the moment is the pig, it doesn't mean that I don't enjoy your posts Special. I love them. The lipstick comment is directed at what J&A are doing, not what you're posting about.
ReplyDeleteWhy now after two years of this?
ReplyDeleteReese is promoting a movie.
Give it up Special they don't care. You tried and keep trying. It's not worth it.
ReplyDeleteFor her to decide, not you. I must say you are aptly named.
I love to see a pig get slaughtered! Especially when it's wearing a fabulous shade of lipstick!
ReplyDeleteDid you happen to see the size tag on Austin's pants?
ReplyDeleteNever mind the tag, what about his package.
ReplyDelete"The Adventure of Max Steel and Big Magnet"
ReplyDeleteWe know what Special thinks.
Give it up Special they don't care. You tried and keep trying. It's not worth it.
ReplyDeleteFor her to decide, not you. I must say you are aptly named.
Yes, how very bitchy to expect people to at least acknowledge that Special put a lot of time in coming up with posts every single day just because you want to talk about how much you don't like Jake or how you think that Reeke will totally get married tomorrow.
How bitchy to ask people not to ignore the things Special talks about in her posts.
But I forgot, Jake forces you to do that by drawing everybodies attention to the bearding with his evil mind-control powers.
You don't think that's a troll tactic, Stubborn? I do, and that's why I said what I did.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm sorry, but it is ludicrous to expect people to ignore the bearding.
And I'm sorry, but it is ludicrous to expect people to ignore the bearding.
ReplyDeleteDifference between ignoring it and obsessing about it. There has to be middle ground.
You don't think that's a troll tactic, Stubborn? I do, and that's why I said what I did.
ReplyDeleteAsking people to respect the work Special is doing every day is a troll tactic? It might be in the same way that saying something positive about Jake means you're a Babbler.
And I'm sorry, but it is ludicrous to expect people to ignore the bearding.
All browsers have a little "x" at the top that you can click on if you want to close a site with, oh I don't know, a Reeke story or Reeke pics.
And if people wouldn't constantly insist to talk about Reeke in every other comment, then we could talk about a lot nicer things. If people wouldn't post every single Reeke story and, no matter how ridiculous it is or post the links to every Reeke pic the moment it goes online, then gee, maybe we'd have other topics to talk about.
But I guess that's just not that much fun, is it?
Asking people to respect the work Special is doing every day is a troll tactic?
ReplyDeleteTrying to get someone to quit is a troll tactic-
Give it up Special they don't care. You tried and keep trying. It's not worth it.
Oh boy. Here we go.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Gee, I can only imagine who 1339, 1351, & 1352 is. Smells like it. Sounds like it. But...I don't think exactly looks/writes like it. So, maybe not.
Come on, guys. Don't get nasty. Don't start with the foul language and the bitterness at each other. That's not what this is about. There can be two sides to this bearding issue without getting into a TB'er/Troll type verbal match that does nothing but exhibit lack of focus. Hmmm, well, guess John Denver may have been a slight lack of focus, but NONETHELESS! lol.
Come on.
Don't.
We can have a civilized discussion without getting personal. You guys have been a part of this blog for alot longer than I have and I know I wouldn't want to make enemies or exchange insults with someone that I've cyberly known for well over a year.
And if I may say, for anyone to start trying to insinuate that people here don't want to talk about anything else but Reeke, I would like to very kindly remind that we've had movie discussions, music discussions, recipe discussion, and 300+ other days of totally, potentially, open discussion about anything Jake & Austin, GLBT issues, political issues, Hollywood issues, and where were all the people that day? Yes? I'd think a little bit more before saying something like that unless one is here for more than a couple days per month. The people who are expressing frustration with bearding are the names that I've see here on a regular basis since I've been on here anyways. I'm not saying that carries any kind of seniority or Best OMG Fan Ever or anything like that, but it just indicates someone who has been on here regularly during these lean times, sharing the pain. Lol, lean times. I crack myself up with that one. Sharing the pain. That's another exxageration, I know, but....you gotta laugh, come on.
And I anticipate that usual blogger to get on here & accuse me of being a peacemaker & wishy washy, wannabe joiner. Go 'head. If that's what it makes me, a peacemaker? Then I'm honored. And I mean that.
Trying to get someone to quit is a troll tactic-
ReplyDeleteIf I was Special people ignoring everything but Reeke would make me want to quit.
It's pretty much what made me stop posting. Not Reeke and the bearding like some would like to believe is driving people away.
So in a way it would actually be you that's trying to get her to quit. Maybe not actively, but passively through your actions.
Does that make the majority of the blog trolls?
If I was Special people ignoring everything but Reeke would make me want to quit.
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty much what made me stop posting.
Then you have no right to complain if you will not do anything about it. Maybe instead of not posting, you should be the change you would like to see on the blog and talk about something besides Reeke. Talk about the post. Sometimes OT links are posted here and they are ignored in favor of Reeke. Talk about those then. Talk about anything other than Reeke if that's what you feel so strongly, but you don't get to tell other people what to talk about.
The reason I said what I did is because to me telling someone else to quit is a troll tactic, plain and simple.

ReplyDeleteYou know what? Yes, I should.
But I'm just pretty much done trying. What's the point in talking to myself?
If I want to talk to Special I can do that somewhere where I don't get jumped on for not agreeing that every good thing Jake does is unimportant because he's bearding.
It's pretty much what made me stop posting. Not Reeke and the bearding like some would like to believe is driving people away.
ReplyDeleteI admire that, Stubborn. But I think you are in the minority. Honestly. Jake has turned off alot of his online blog fans with the dishonesty of what he's doing. And just like someone on WFT2 has pointed out a couple of times, there could be excitement or discussion about one of his movies, but when is the last one that came out? Rendition. That was what, 1 1/2 hrs ago.
Someone fill me in. 2 years ago, when OMG opened up, what did you all crowd on here talking about? Because I missed out. So, what has changed between that time and now?
Reeke.
Prairie girl.. I'd rather think about Austin mooning. Oh the thought of that boy's bare cheeks in the moonlight!
ReplyDeleteOkay. Let's move on to another subject since people seem to want to discuss anything else but Reeke.
ReplyDeleteHey, anybody else on vacation? What do you do when you're on the big V? Clean out closets? Travel? Travel where? Take your time cooking something really cool?
Since Damn Yankees has been bantered about, how about people's favorite musicals? Any other musical you'd love to see Jake do? What sitcom or drama would you like to see Austin do?
I'd like to see Jake try his hand at TV and do a couple guest stints on Ugly Betty. He could play Mark's next love interest. Or maybe Austin could guest star on Ugly Betty. He could be on Willhemina's team. He can play bad very well, I think.
You all made OMG about Reeke. Special didn't. You did.
ReplyDeleteMusicals?
I want to know what Jake's favorite musical is. And if Austin is a fan or does Jake drive him crazy with them.
What I'd like to know is how the girls recognised Austin again later.
ReplyDeleteOkay, okay, he probably said that he was the guy that mooned them earlier, but I'd like to believe he just showed them his ass again in the middle of the bar and they remembered.
I want to know what Jake's favorite musical is. And if Austin is a fan or does Jake drive him crazy with them.
ReplyDeleteI could imagine that Austin might be a fan of Jakes singing.
For the first hour anyway and then he's just about ready to tape Jakes mouth shut...
But can Jake really sing? Maybe he can. He must if he tried out for Moulin Rouge. All he's done is goof around with his singing. Haven't really seen a serious attempt at it. I'd like to hear a serious song out of him. That would be something.
ReplyDeleteCan Austin sing? Does he like to sing? There's a difference between liking music and actually liking to sing. I know that sounds kind of lame, but sometimes I think just because someone likes music, everyone thinks they can or like to sing, too.
LOL, Meg! I know it. Me, too. That 2nd picture up there gives all kinds of visuals, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteI can't believe him. Has anybody else here ever done that? Mooned? Heck, not me! LOL! I have a friend who was naked in a drive through line at a fast food place once.
It'd be interesting to see Austin more on a talk show. Where's Tony Danza when you need him? I bet Austin has done some pretty interesting things.
Jake has always sung from being little on and he was in the top 3 for being picked for the role in Moulin Rouge, so he probably can sing.
ReplyDeleteAnd now he's doing the musical, so I assume he had to prove his singing abilities for that.
And most importantly: Austin says he can ;)
I don't know anything about "Damn Yankees". Does Jakes character have serious songs in it? Does anyone know?
As for Austin singing: There was this really cute video of him singing in a choir when he was a teenager. I think it was shown on the Tony Danza show. Not the best quality, but it sounded like he's pretty good.
But right now I'm thinking about Austin coming home from the bar after the girls just kept on buying him shot after shot.
Can't you you just imagine Austin calling Jake completely drunk in the middle of the night to tell him he just showed some girls his ass and now they got him drunk by buying him shots?
I'd love to see Jakes reaction to that :P
Austin talking about Jake (June 2007)
ReplyDelete"He makes really smart choices. He knows what works for him. And the kid can sing! He was in a band when he was younger."
link
Yeah, I figured if he tried out for Moulin Rouge that he must be able to carry a pretty good tune. That song from the M.R. Soundtrack that was called "The Elephant Love Song" or something like that, that was a really challenging one. And Ewan McGregor & Nicole Kidman did fantastic on it.
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing that clip of Austin singing, Stubborn. It was cute. And Austin couldn't believe they were showing it.
Yeah, I wish he could be on some more talk shows. If he can catch on to OTH, maybe he could be on some more. Oh, duh... wait til The Informers comes out. Maybe he will then, too.
When Elle Magazine asked Vanessa Lutz about her best homegirl Jakey Gyllenhaal, she said, "He's fabulous. He really is a fantastic guy."
ReplyDeleteFabulous? Reese might as well have said that the bitch is feir-feir-feeeeeeirce. And that he's so glittery that she just wants to wear him as a dress while skipping along the rainbow trails left by his ass.
Reese went on to talk about how she's made of sugars, “I’m made of cookies after the holidays. Everything inside me is made of sugar and flour and a little red wine–a lot of red wine.”
This bitch might be gayer than Jakey. Might be.
Visit Elle to read the rest of Reese's interview if you give a shit.

Nice Austin post, I like hearing current news of him :)
ReplyDeletePG, we did a lot of picture analysis and sleuthing in the old days - determining whether we could see Austin's earlobe or left leg in certain pics of Jake. It was very cool :)
Jake has always sung from being little on and he was in the top 3 for being picked for the role in Moulin Rouge, so he probably can sing.
ReplyDeleteOf course he can sing, remember SNL?
"then we could talk about a lot nicer things." "maybe we'd have other topics to talk about."
ReplyDeleteGee Stubborn tb when are you ever here? I don't ever remember you bringing up any non-Reeke subjects, starting a convo and throwing in links. You only seem to come here to complain, and talk about Reeke and complain about people talking abouit Reeke.
When it comes down to it, if there's a choice of talking about a news story about something Reeke, like how Reese called Jake "fabulous" in her interview, and the other choice is a "what if" like the examples Stubborn and PG brought up like "can Austin sing?" "do you think him and Jake sing together?" or whatever the blog topic is, guess what. Most people (and me) will go with discussing and analyzing the current event. If Stubborn tb and others want to carry on philosophizing, talking about the good old days before Reeke, and fantasizing about Jake and Austin's lives, fine. There's news/pic droughts with Jake and Austin and there's a time for doing that. But Stubborn tb and the others, when there is current Reeke news, don't criticize people for discussing it. Sheesh. If you had your way would current Reeke news be discussed after a 1 month/6 month/1 year moratorium? Or ignored so you can live in a fantasy world where bearding and lying doesn't exist?
ReplyDeletelong time lurker said...
ReplyDeleteNo. It's the attitude that's grown here. It's nothing but anger and accusations. All the time. Can anybody be objective? Like someone else said you made it personal. I don't like him bearding, and I don't like him in the closet, but fans who act like this? If he came out and didn't do something else you liked you're going to do the same thing again.
That is a ridiculous statement. The anger is solely due to the lying and the bearding. It is wrong. It is homphopic. I think for the most part most posters would agree.
I hate reading and hearing about Reeke. It's horrible but its reality. People seem to talk about whatever they want here. I think we are headed for a bumpy rode very soon. For sure though Reeke will end with a wimpering we will always be friends.
ReplyDeleteWow, an eventful day. I am late to the party but have a couple of comments. I've never doubted for a moment that Austin has magnetic appeal. Just look how the cast of OTH has taken him under their wing. All those comments about his grin, his charm, his good looks. And Jake didn't stand a chance. That's why I can never buy that they have split. Jake fell hook, line and sinker. Plain as day to anyone with eyes.
ReplyDeleteAgree with the comments that being in the closet and bearding are totally different. Being discreet about your sexuality, like Jake was for several years, is not ideal, but it's tolerable, understandable. Openly bearding, creating a false impression, basically lying, is not acceptable to me. I don't like it when Jake does it or anyone else for that matter, but I don't follow any other stars but Jake (and Heath) so I limit my 2cents to Jake and how I feel about it. I think Special noted that Leonardo kept a posse around himself. When Jake was dating Kiki, Chris was often there as well. One of the reasons I think he was more than just a friend.
Last but not least, D-listed nailed it again. That cover is so obviously photo-shopped its not even funny. The woman wishes she still looked like that. Also obvious is that she is still in love with Ryan. We cant help who we love. She did not do Jake any favors with her comments. He is being skewered around the net.
Not to re-open a can of worms, but I feel like I have to comment on what went on today.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I totally agree with Appropriate, Get Real and PG's post at 3:55. In particular, I really think Bitching is a troll or someone who thinks this site should just shut down. I also don't think the discussion about bearding is driving people away--look at wft2! Several of the long-time posters who've stopped made it quite clear they did so because they felt Jake & Austin are doing the wrong thing, particularly if there is a baby tile.
Second, I come here because I think Special and Wicked have created a place where I am free to talk about whatever I want, and that includes having a place to express my anger about the bearding and calling Jake out on his behavior. I'm sorry you feel like you've been driven away Stubborn, but I think there are plenty of other things to talk about. I just don't think you can expect it on a day like this.
I am just never going to be the kind of fan who says nothing but positive things, no matter what happens.
Finally, I've talked about and linked to stories about plenty of other things too: the Out Spotlight, Special's posts, the too-long jeans, U2, Peter Doherty's latest video and Proposition 8 just to name a few. I think most regular posters here talk about plenty of things, like PG and M discussing slash.
Also agree with your post M. I often feel like you're a voice of reason and calm in the storm.
ReplyDeleteAlso love the idea of Austin's mooning in the moonlight.
Reese is getting skwerewerd on the net and Jake, you are falling fast. Whut happened, Fabulous?
ReplyDeleteHe is being skewered around the net.
ReplyDeleteJake acted out sex scenes with Heath Ledger in Brokeback Mountain and sung Dreamgirls tunes in a dress on SNL. I'm sure he can cope just fine with a misogynist with a website and a few forum posters laughing because his girlfriend used the word "fabulous".
Oh yeah, the slash! lol. Thank heavens I have m & Orchid (altho, Orchid, where are youuuu!) to exchange recommendations with.
ReplyDeleteI agree, that is one thing that's so great about here and WFT2(being able to speak openly), especially after finding out that on some other blogs, you can get your comment deleted just because you say something that goes against the grain.
And I checked out Michael K because I figured he'd have a picture of the Elle cover. Heck, yeah, she does look great. Too bad she doesn't look anything like that now. Jake probably wishes she looked like that; she'd look more his age. Give me a break.
And I don't know about that, Fabulous. I didn't read all the comments, but the first ones I saw weren't picking on "fabulous", they were calling Reeke out on being fake.
Just visited WFT2 to catch up on their take on the days events. One comment had me laughing out loud. "Only a true queen can look gayer with his beard." So true, so true. Poor Jake.
ReplyDeleteBack later this evening. Some chores I can't put off, despite the exciting topics.
I didn't read all the comments, but the first ones I saw weren't picking on "fabulous", they were calling Reeke out on being fake.
ReplyDeleteJake acted out sex scenes with Heath Ledger in Brokeback Mountain and sung Dreamgirls tunes in a dress on SNL. I'm sure he can cope just fine with a misogynist with a website and a few forum posters laughing because they think his relationship with his girlfriend is fake.
Fixed.
Okay, you all know I'm going to visit Wicked in just about 30 days or so.
ReplyDeleteJust booked my flight today for the second leg of this OMG tour - to visit the Boston area & a visit to Special! I'll arrive on Fri, June 5 and leave Mon, the 8th.
Northeast, mark that down! Aren't you in that area?? And Tom, you're not going to be following the Phillies out of town that weekend, too, are you?
If Special gets sick of me, I may need to bunk out at your place or something, lol.
I am on a countdown to April. That is going to be so cool. I plan to take my laptop so I can greet you guys from there.
Okay, back to the subject at hand. I just had to spill the news, couldn't hold it.
Fixed.
ReplyDeleteWhat's fixed? You mean the comments I was referring to? How do you know that. Is that what you meant?
No, I mean I have "fixed" my reply.
ReplyDeleteFabulous is a babbler.
ReplyDeleteI don't think Michael K. is a misogynist, he's an equal opportunity offender.
ReplyDeleteI had to look up the definition of misogynist.
ReplyDeleteHey, sweet dreams to those still up. I'm not too far off from turning in myself.
I read everything today. Couple of things.
ReplyDeleteOne I don't think that every one who is tired of all the Reeke talk or weary about Jake complaints is always a troll or babbler. Saying that sometimes make just makes other afraid to say anything, and there are alot of lurkers. Sometimes I wonder if they are afraid of being labeled such sometimes.
I encourage everyone to say have an opinion. I just don't want others to be discouraged to say things.
Yes Reeke will happen, but sometimes it seems does monopolize everything. Sometimes I think we allow Reeke or our feeling about Reeke to put a damper on alot of things. Why do we make it make us so miserable so much of the time?
I hope we can find a balance between things about Jake and Austin and Reeke, and that we find things that don't upset us, make us anger or miserable. Life is way too short and our own happiness is way too important.
There are lots of things going on. Jake's getting new projects. Austin's blogging, Austin's going back to finish up at OTH, New OTH episodes, Cannes, movies coming out. We have Out Spotlight and Movie Club and JFC Discussion.
We have a lot a neat stuff coming, I just don't want people to miss it or be left out of it.
Andy Towle reporting on his fourth story of the day about anti-gay violence.
ReplyDeleteTowleroad
When people beard they contribute to a system that says that gay people are not worthy of equal treatment, which in turn contributes to people thinking it is okay to attack someone just because they are gay.
One more thing. Please don't think I am making lite of bearding or closeting I'm not, and I don't think all of the others who say have expressed weariness are either.
ReplyDeleteYou know sometimes I come to OMG for an little escape and respite from the heaviness of everything going on in my own little corner of the world. Sometimes I do posts to lighten things up more for me. (Kind of selfish I admit) I like to laugh. Laugh is a good thing sometimes. I hope other can find that sometimes in what I write.
Can't you you just imagine Austin calling Jake completely drunk in the middle of the night to tell him he just showed some girls his ass and now they got him drunk by buying him shots?
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see Jakes reaction to that
Not sure if Jake was half asleep wonder what the hell, laughing, or jealous. And Austin explaining I had to drink them, it's bad manners not too. Jake saying yeah right, they were just saying thank you for the moon shine? Austin grinning and trying not to laugh.
We're getting lots of mileage out of the Elle/US story, we're now the featured entertainment story on Huffington Post.
ReplyDeleteTake that TomKat. We're out to de-throne you.
An hour later, the General, and you're off your throne toilet. Just another episode of Reeke diarrhea.
ReplyDeleteThat Huffington article has two pics. One of Reese not photo-shopped, then the photo-shopped mag pic. Not sure why they did that but the contrast is extreme. She looks 5 years older, in real life.
ReplyDeleteNow the question is.. which definition of fabulous did Reese intend. I'm going with number 4.
ReplyDeletefabulousuioss
Or maybe number 10 (second page).
ReplyDeleteD listed comments pissed me off! There is sudenly a legion of Reese fans out of nowhere! MK should clean up!
ReplyDeleteThere is no law against bad taste and stupidity.
ReplyDeleteI plan to take my laptop so I can greet you guys from there.
ReplyDeleteWe have wireless PG, so definitely bring it! :)
California Supreme Court to discuss Prop 8.
ReplyDeletePR Girl the Phillies are in LA that weekend so unless I am hanging out with Jake and reese at the Phils vs Dodgers game I will be home that weekend. The only problem is that Sat will be a work day. Hopefully I can get someone to switch with me. I would love to come up and hang out with you and Spesh for a while. Maybe I can get someone form this blog to drive up with me. Hint Hint:-)It would be fun. Maybe even Destiny and Netb will show up. Hint Hint!!!!
ReplyDeleteGyllenspoon Hot on Brangelina’s Heels
ReplyDeleteThe always-thinking, supersweet Reese Witherspoon was of course on AP Radio the other day and got sidetracked. The usually hush-hush gal did offer up her opinion on something else other than what pertains to the interview topic at hand, like the unfortunately hot issue of domestic abuse, along with Rihanna and Chris Brown.
"When you think [how] one in three women are victims, that's pretty much everyone we know," quipped Reese, rather seriously emphasizing how domestic abuse can affect all people in life. When pressed further, she said she has no "personal experience" with Chris and Rihanna's situation, so she couldn't comment on them specifically.
Where was Reese's main man (her PR gal, that is) to jump in? Could R have been eager to briefly touch on this taboo topic instead of a more touchy, roundabout one? Her unusually chatty quotes smell more like a brilliant ploy to divert other personal questions, like if the Oscar winner really is expecting...to marry Jake Gyllenhaal soon?
Like we've said before, Reese is crafty, and her meticulous publicity plans are starting to outshine those of Angelina's. If Reese offered up any of these random quotes you better believe it's to hide something else. But is Jake as gullible as Brad? Hell no. That's why this power couple is going straight to the top fast. Watch out.
The Awful Truth
I am sure the California Sumpreme Court will be favorible in their judgement on Prop 8. But like Destiny says when gay marriage ends up in the Supreme Courts hands the votes will not be there at this time. Lets hope as some judges retire during President Obama's time in office things will change.
ReplyDeleteSounds like Ted is expecting wedding bells.
ReplyDeleteHuh?
ReplyDeleteReeke can never be Brad and Angelina. Ted must be being sarcastic. They have no chemistry or sex appeal. They aren't as talented. Plus most of all they are no where near as smart. Say what you want about Angelina but she has got it ALL. Reese will NEVER be another Angelina. If Reeke tries to compete with Bradgelina they will fall way way short.
ReplyDeleteBrangelina aren't married.
ReplyDelete...Reese's main man (her PR gal, that is)...
ReplyDeleteI think Ted means they are going to the top of the list of "couples" faking an image. Ted is always saying that Brangelina are his number one fakers. but now Reese's PR methods are outshining Angelina's so they could be the number 1 phony couple on Ted's list.
"Reeke can never be Brad and Angelina. Ted must be being sarcastic. They have no chemistry or sex appeal. They aren't as talented. Plus most of all they are no where near as smart."
ReplyDeleteAngelina and Brad are talented and smart lol since when???
Since always.
ReplyDeleteThats correct Inglorious most power couples are not married now a days.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who thinks Angelina is not smart is kidding themselves. Reese is smart in a different way but ITA she never will be an Angelina. That is ridiculous.
Sorry Jake and Reese, you're going to have to get alot more interesting before you're competition with Brad and Angie.
ReplyDeletegooglee trends
btw, those google(e!) trend graphs show the actual level of google searches made world wide. they can be viewed as a very good indication of public interest / likes and dislikes because lets be honest people google what they're interested in.
ReplyDeleteSorry, couldn't resist doing another, this is frankly just embarassing.
ReplyDeletezero interest
Ooops! poor Ted seems to have lost the plot this time!
ReplyDeleteThanks Meg, those charts sure are interesting! They tell a story better than words can.
In the medical field that is called a flat line. DOA
ReplyDeleteOne more graph, the last I promise. This one shows how Jake's seriously losing ground to the younger competition. Seriously time to rethink your pr strategy don't you'd think (but will they ever listen)
ReplyDeletethose damn vampires
I find interesting Ted chooses this pic for Reese !!!!
ReplyDeleteWhy?
ReplyDeleteBrokeback Mountain fans put Jake on the verge of superstardom. He choose later to spit on them. That was a hige mistake his chances to be a superstar are now nil.
ReplyDeleteDisney made a huge mistake in choosing Jake for PoP. Robert Pattison would have made it a huge hit. Pop will FloP.
Nope not even forcing the man to beard and lie will change that Disney.
Disney didn't force Jake to live the life he chooses to live ! wake up!
ReplyDeleteEven for a blockbuster like POP , Disney wanted someone who can act.
Robert Pattinson ??? give me a break.
The best for the end :
"Brokeback Mountain fans put Jake on the verge of superstardom. He choose later to spit on them. That was a hige mistake his chances to be a superstar are now nil."
Yeah without BBM fans , his career is OVER!!!!!!
Thanks for the laught.
Bitch Back!
ReplyDeleteDear Ted:
The link to the "academic paper" on Toothy Tile in the Bitch-Back column was very insightful. I know that everyone thinks they know who Toothy is, but I still think that it's possible that it's someone else who is flying "under the radar." Would you really make it that easy for us? Keep it up—I live for reading your column every morning!
—Angela
Dear Love of the Chase:
Many of our Blind Vice victims fly under the radar; you'd be so surprised
The Awful Truth
Before anyone gets their panties in an uproar Toothy is not Chase Crawford. Chase was born in Texas toothy was born in LA. Ted is just implying that Cahse is a BV subject.
ReplyDeleteGive me pie charts, I love pie charts.
ReplyDeleteActually I love all kinds of charts, so thanks Meg.
Jake and reese will be together till after PoP. That means the earliest we will hear "we will always be friends" is probably the Fall of 2010. If PoP is a flop Reeke was a waste of time. If PoP is a hit Jake wont need Reese anymore. He will have his sequels.
ReplyDelete^^
ReplyDeletePoP goes the weasel says
Jake and reese will be together till after PoP.
ReplyDeleteI don't think so.
Jake is after a straight image, but PoP public doesn't care about Reese or Reeke.
Good morning!! Man, keep getting up later & later. The slow descent into lack of discipline.
ReplyDeleteSpecial, I still have to disagree on the point of people being intimidated to post. On WFT2, yeah, I can kind of see it there. But on here, I don't think so. And there have been ample days for opportunity to comment on whatever topic of J & A there can be. Totally open discussion on their shows or moviemaking, past movies, not to mention that period of Prop. 8 where I got lost in the shuffle because I knew nothing about it, but, hey, it was a vital, current topic. Ample opportunity.
Now, I'm going to do some namedropping but only because I'm trying to make my point. Now, I know some don't post as often because they're on a total time difference or real life just takes them out of cyber talk. And, simply, life is everchanging, everevolving and interests just naturally change. But for those regulars that I have heard outloud wonderings where they went? Why did they quit coming around?
To those whom I mention, you correct me pronto if I'm wrong. But Northeast used to be on here alot until she pretty much came to believe that Jake & Reese were for real. Right? Around birthday dinner time in December, I think. And Wicked, you said you weren't ever going to stop coming around because you liked everyone here so much, but as far as Jake was concerned, he had chosen the path he wanted to take. And so interest in that regard had waned. And Eastcoastfan a fade into the darkness because he, too, and come to believe that Jake & Reese were for real.
Now, those are just 3 people that come to mind very quickly. I wasn't around in the beginning to know who others are that don't post anymore or very rarely. I would love to hear why:
a. Real life/different interests
b. Reeke
c. Jake's turn into Tabloid Jake
d. Belief that Reeke is real,
therefore not feeling a part
of community anymore
Now, "c" probably is a result of "b", so it may not be a valid reason.
I think it's hard to separate the Jake of old, the Jake who caught the attention & fancy of people enough that they started these blogs because of him from the Jake that we pretty much see now.
I can forget about the "bad" for awhile as long as we see him doing things like his appearance at the high school a few weeks ago or see the mention of him being up for a part in a new film, like Damn Yankees. But then, no sooner do you let your guard down, and Whack! here comes an Elle/Vogue article, a Lakers game, a yarn spin about her baby bump.
The person who can maintain that glass half-full feeling & eternal optimism is the rare person indeed. I hate to compare this to BBM, but it is a good comparison. In the movie, Jack Twist came to Ennis Del Mar time after time after time, putting up with Alma, putting up with being kept at a distance, being kept a dirty little secret but a secret that nonetheless was one that Ennis Del Mar was not wanting to let go of because it was who he was. But, finally Twist got tired of it. Jake portrayed that face of bitterness to the hilt. Alot of times, a person can only take so much.
I'm not defending a preoccupation with Reeke. I'm just saying that 1) it's how Jake wants to be perceived right now at this stage in his life therefore that's the majority of what his fans are seeing of him. It's hard to keep commenting on something that's not been seen for 2 years and is kept under wraps on purpose. That photograph starts to get tattered & awfully creased after awhile. and 2) I think it's only human nature to either get fed up enough to move on or else get discouraged and dwell on it. Not saying that's the way to go but that people are only human.
Phew. That was alot.
And PoP public will care more about the special efects and story than Jake.
ReplyDeleteDang, sorry, guys, that was a really long post & feel free to scroll. It just took longer than I realized. And feel free to criticize, correct, or add. Sometimes I get off on a different sidestreet & lose my way back to the main road.
ReplyDeleteAnd before I go, I have to say a big thanks to Meg for her work. That is really something. You must be a whiz on the computer.
Good ol' Google searches.
Those google numbers are pretty interesting. I used to google Jake pretty regularly to catch all the stories about him, but stopped a couple months ago. Reeke hurts my eyes, so the less of them the better.
ReplyDeleteOkay, well, I'm off. Don't mean to dump & leave, lol.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have my wireless printing set up today & he says the sooner I get in there, the better. So I'll take advantage & go walk, go do a little visiting, and whatnot. TTYL!
IHJ - Jake leaving a medical center.
ReplyDeleteHi PG and all,
ReplyDeleteI'm still here, haven't given up yet. If I were to comment on how great Spesh and Wicked's posts and music are, I'd truly sound like a broken record. The one about Southern Gothic writers was especially great.
PG, I don't know if Reeke is real or not, but as Spesh so aptly put it, I'm getting a little weary. Also, I tend to agree with Wicked that these things have an expiration date, and perhaps it's getting close to that for me. And the loss of a certain actor, still is just unfathomable to me - so when you add it all up, I guess it's wearisome. But, and love for BBM and J&A were not the only reason I would follow this blog and the original WFT, it's the wonderful topics we discuss, the like mindedness, and maybe helping to make the world a better place by discussing rights for all, and the people I have met, and of course our great music. So I won't ever give up on that. I'm happy also that today is March 5, and will be watching closely what happens with the CA Supreme Court.
I can't to persuade anyone of anything. But there people who don't post for being weary, and looking at the number of lurkers we get vs. the numbers of different posters, I would say there is at least a couple more who might say the same thing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for to all for the kind words. ((()))
