Past few days these two stories have come out linked to Jake.New Line Cinema is playing ball with Jim Carrey and Jake Gyllenhaal on "Damn Yankees," attaching both actors to star in a contemporized film transfer of the classic musical.
JAKE GYLLENHAAL made a runner from Marks And Spencers last week after being spotted buying ladies underwear.
Now how are they related?
Jason Giambi wears thong when in slump, shares it with teammates
DAILY NEWS STAFF Friday, May 16th 2008, 9:00 AM
Thongs a lot, Jason!
Yankee slugger Jason Giambi wears a gold lamé, tiger-stripe thong under his uniform when he wants to break out of a slump - and he shares it with hitless teammates who want to get back on track.
"I only put it on when I'm desperate to get out of a big slump," he tells Portfolio.com. Over the years, the 37-year-old All-Star has left the "golden thong" in the lockers of slumping teammates Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, Johnny Damon, Robin Ventura and Robinson Cano.
"All of them wore it and got hits," he reports. "The thong works every time."
The rest of the story? It's gotta be Jake being the Red Sox fan he is, was just getting something to send to the Yankees for good luck for the upcoming baseball season. (cough cough) But will it become the curse of the Golden Giambi? Let's just hope. Go Sox.
Square Root Day! I love it.

you do like the term undercrackers don't you special. don't blame you really, the sun may be a horrendous rag but it does often have good way with words.

ReplyDeleteI never heard that story about Jason; I only look at the Daily News during football season.
Jake’s Man Enough for Musicals—What’s Next?
ReplyDeleteHow thrilling! Jake Gyllenhaal is supposedly starring in an upcoming musical with Jim Carrey! Shocker? Not really. Jakey-poo loves to prove he’s sufficiently butch for these types of roles. Way to show all those people out there that those gay rumors are false, right? What's the next way Jake Gyllenhaal will show the world he’s straight?
Awful's Pushing Jake Poll
How can Jake G. take it to the next level and show us he's supersecure in his sexuality?
1- Actually marry Reese and be his own wedding planner!
2- Kill two birds with one role and star in Brokeback Mountain: the Opera
3- Wear cargo shorts
4- Play Liberace in a biopic
The Awful Truth
Fifteen gay and lesbian residents from Massachusetts who wed after this state legalized same-sex marriages filed a discrimination suit today, challenging a federal law that defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman.
ReplyDeleteSix same-sex couples and three men whose husbands have died -- one of the deceased was retired congressman Gerry E. Studds -- said in the suit that the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act treats them like second-class citizens and is unconstitutional. The 92-page complaint was filed in US District Court in Boston.

ReplyDeleteMusicals are trendy now! It could be a good project but maybe Ted is just pissed off lol
ReplyDeleteNooo! That lawsuit is a bad idea. There is very little chance that the current Supreme Court would find DOMA unconstitutional, and that is where this case is utltimately going to end up. And if they do lose this case, they are going to be stuck with a very bad decision for years to come.
ReplyDeletePeople fighting for gay marriage have been deliberately avoiding bringing suits on U.S., rather than state, constitutional grounds for this very reason.
Great, after Ted's kind of bitter sounding comment, who knows what we'll see from Reeke in retaliation. Reeke at a Baskin Robbins and Reese with a big dill pickle in her hand?
ReplyDeleteI don't know about this comment from Ted. The first time I read it, it sounded bitter. Then after reading it again, it made me realize how I am sure to have sounded at times and makes me all kinds of ashamed for some of the harsh stuff I've said about the guy. Not about behavioral incidents, but just other things that were personally attacking. It's not pretty. I don't get Ted's comment. What's he saying about guys who do musicals, for cryin' out loud? It doesn't make any kind of sense.
I echo some of the sentiments said this morning on WFT2 and maybe Ted needs to take a lil' vacation from Tooth Tile if he can't say anything of worthwhile credence or relay a new TT story. Just let it play out if there's nothing new to add. Blurbs like this one about musicals look bad on Ted. He's always been about clever wordplay; now it almost sounds personal. As a journalist, Ted, you're supposed to remain "removed" from your subject.
Ted discredits himself IMO
ReplyDeleteHow so?
ReplyDelete"How so?"
ReplyDeletePlaying vendetta against Jake sounds ridiculous now and look suspicious!
Either he says what he really knows about Jake instead of hiding behind BV and rumours
or he shut up!
I think Ted is just being very tongue-in-cheek and using the musical to get in some digs at the cement closet. I'm surprised he didn't mention Tab Hunter, but I guess that would have been going too far. Musicals are widely seen as being of interest to mainly women and gay men, and I would say a majority of the men involved in musical theater are gay, from the writers on down. I also think that the young guys who are the target audience of PoP are also the most likely group to view musicals as "gay".
ReplyDeleteI thought Ted was pretty funny today, especially the wedding planner dig.
I also think this is one of the strongest hints that Jake is gay we've seen from him.
I dunno, Dest, it just struck me as kind of the opposite. Maybe after more discussion, I'll see that angle, but right now.....
ReplyDeleteI agree on your comment about strongest hint, tho. That is pretty out with it when you think about it. He's always talked like that about TT, but about Jake? Not that I recall, well, for as long as I've read, anyway.
"I also think this is one of the strongest hints that Jake is gay we've seen from him."
ReplyDeleteGreat Ted outed Jake....and after ?
Guess I'm in the minority here, but I say, "Bravo, Ted, Bravo! May we have some more, please, sir?"
ReplyDeleteTired of Reeking, tired of wanna-be's like Ian, tired of PR and their lame ass 'sources', tired of Ted dancing around what everyone already knows - Jake is bearding, Jake is lying, Jake is gay.
Hit him again, right where it smarts, Ted. No passes for Toothy. He wants to play the HW game, then learn to run with the big boys.
"Hit him again, right where it smarts, Ted. No passes for Toothy. He wants to play the HW game, then learn to run with the big boys."
ReplyDeletelol
With proofs, it would be better thought
"Tired of Reeking, tired of wanna-be's like Ian, tired of PR and their lame ass 'sources', tired of Ted dancing around what everyone already knows - Jake is bearding, Jake is lying, Jake is gay."
ReplyDeletecalm down!
I agree 2.9 cents, and I'll throw 2.1 cents into your pot.
ReplyDeleteRe Ted: Either put up or shut up. I'm tired of recycled nothing.
ReplyDelete"Hit him again, right where it smarts, Ted. No passes for Toothy. He wants to play the HW game, then learn to run with the big boys."
ReplyDeleteHe won't do that , just will remain tongue in cheek from time to time!
Anyways , that change nothing!
I did not read Ted's comments as negative to musicals. I try to avoid sterotypes, but let's face it, many gay guys like musicals, way more than straight guys do. And, most male Broadway actors, singers, dancers are gay. We could probably even find some statistics to back that up since I think they are way more out than Hollywood actors.
ReplyDeleteThis is Ted's most overt outing of Jake. Not Toothy, Jake. It takes enormous strength to not back down with Disney, Reese, Jake's PR etc staring you down. I guess I would object to the outing if it looked like Jake was happy. But he looks so miserable that I think it's for the best.
I agree with both 2.9 and Wicked. I'm
ReplyDeleteso tired of staged/boring/recycled/made-up information. Either say something new and true already or don't bother. Seems like everybodys trying to make a story out of nothing these days.
Ted is just like any other gossip columnist. No one really believes what they say. Ted can out Jake. Perez can out Wentworth. Just Jared can out Hayden. Doesn't mean anything. No one believes it till there is proof or they come out themselves. All three closeted men play the game. Jake plays the hardest.
ReplyDelete"This is Ted's most overt outing of Jake. Not Toothy, Jake. It takes enormous strength to not back down with Disney, Reese, Jake's PR etc staring you down. I guess I would object to the outing if it looked like Jake was happy. But he looks so miserable that I think it's for the best."
ReplyDeleteexcuse me but where is "the most overt outing"
I agree with tom!
"But he looks so miserable that I think it's for the best."
ReplyDeleteLately he doesn't look so miserable
All three closeted men play the game. Jake plays the hardest.
ReplyDeleteSorry Tom, on this I have to disagree. Hayden is playing the hardest. Why he's bearded the longest, and upped it with the engagement to Rachel Bilson. And if he is the BV, sounds like he promised to marry his bf in Canada, then dumped him and got engaged to Bilson.
It takes enormous strength to not back down with Disney, Reese, Jake's PR etc staring you down.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it takes any strength at all. I don't think he's being stared down by anyone. If Disney cared at all about Ted, they wouldn't have gotten involved with Jake in the first place. Same with Reese. And even if he was being stared down by them, he doesn't work for them so it doesn't take any strength for him to ignore them. I'm with Wicked and Clarity; if Ted wants to show some strength he should do something that is actually risky. Put up or shut up Ted.
Who said I wasn't calm? You, Pills? Like the admonition of someone that knows Adam's housecat better than me is worth listening to.
ReplyDeleteFor the record, not that it means much more than your silly words, I've gone way beyond calm and am currently basking in the glow of complacency where Jake is concerned. Whatever fan verve or consumer interest existed for his HW product waned with the Reeke family park pictures. Only one thing left, really, to give passing attention to, and that is outing his closted ass.

ReplyDeleteClose call Spesh. Jake vs Hayden:-)
Hayden is damn cute aint he.
I agree with 2.9 per cent I want Jakes butt outed but a gossip columnist doing it without proof, pics, or the person coming out themselves isnt going to do it.
When has a gossip columnist saying someone is gay meant anything to the general public? Jake is smiling bcause he knows there is no proof. reese is playing along because she knows there isnt any either. She wouldnt take that risk. Of course unless she really is in love with jake.
You know why Jake looks happy and smiling?
ReplyDeleteBecause everyone is home together finally at their house. Not SC, or London, or Morocco, or NY. Home, just home.
Reese loves only one thing - herself.
ReplyDeleteWell, then there's herself in the spotlight.
And herself in the spotlight with all eyes awed by her specialness.
And herself in the spotlight, specialness awed eyes securely glued while she rakes in the paychecks.
And herself in the spotlight, specialness awed eyes securely glued, bank account padded with those paychecks and her hand squeezing HW's balls.
Oh, yeah, she apparently loves coffee, too.
You know why Jake looks happy and smiling?
ReplyDeleteBecause everyone is home together finally at their house. Not SC, or London, or Morocco, or NY. Home, just home.
I think I agree with you on that one, Special. That would be why. And I didn't feel that as strongly until these past couple of weeks. But several things have me feeling that way now. For one, those pictures from couple of days ago, the medical building & the "solo" coffee. Closely cropped like they were (I can't remember the blogger name who pointed it all out, but you know who you are!).
I don't know a whole lot about Hayden Christensen. All I know about him is that he used to be on the HW blogs alot about a year ago. And back then, I didn't know what movies he was in or TV show he was on. I don't think he's near as well known as Jake. Is it pretty well known that Hayden C is gay?
Boy, what comments there are after Ted's little rant are kind of amusing. Several taking digs at J & R's PR reps.
I still haven't warmed up to Ted's comments yet. I think if Jake hadn't calmed down these past 4 weeks or so (with the exception of VF party, but even that wasn't soooo over the top for him), I would be very inclined to like Ted's comments. But I'm feeling a little Jakefriendly lately.
Not to say, something couldn't happen, though, to snark me up real quick and Reeke sure knows how to do it! lol. It's just that right now, not a whole lot of effort seems to be going into Reeke Inc. other than some really poor, lame story plants.
m, got another story for you. Just Another New Kid in Town by Baileymoyes (sp?). Have you read that one? It's an AU!AU! and I got really wrapped up in it. The last couple of paragraphs made me practically bawl. I think that's like only about the second or third story that's made me cry. I need to PM her and tell her how much I enjoyed it.
ReplyDeletem, that was kinda strong comment for you. And Clarity, too! Made me sit up alot straighter in my chair.
And I can sit up now after gagging on my Peach Papaya White Tea. Holy cow. Swallowed wrong and a 15 min. cough fit promptly ensued. It was terrible, lol!! I was literally exhaused afterwards. Don't you just hate that?
Well, I'm going to disagree with you too Tom. I agree those three are the ones with the most persistent rumors. But I agree with Special about Hayden, and I have to point out that while Wenty has denied being gay, as far as I know he hasn't bearded, and he certainly didn't run and do it when the rumors about him and what's his name were rampant.
ReplyDeleteRegarding Ted, I doubt E! would allow Ted to out Jake even if he had a smoking gun.
Naw, after how many years now, if Ted hasn't done it by now, doubt he'd be doing it soon. But, he seems to be making a statement based just on his own opinion, not anything factual that Jake has actually done. And that's what I want to see. Give me some facts now. Or at least a good sighting. I wonder if Ted, himself, has thought of doing any private eye'ing? His lackeys/runners aren't earning their salaries, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteHey, Special, need you to check your email. Either tonight or tomorrow, can you? hopping up and down!!!!
Ted did say he and Jake used to work out at the same gym, and you know they have probably gone to the same clubs over the years. Personally, I think he's seen the evidence with his own eyes.
ReplyDeletePrairie Girl, I've read most of Baileys BBM stories, but that one does not sound familiar. I will check it out.
Ted said nothing different to what everyone including people on this blog say everyday about Jake.
ReplyDeleteBecause there's a couple of pictures lately of Jake looking half hot, all is forgiven?
Until the next batch of Reekefest pictures, I guess.
Expect the Reekefest to continue next week ag. I do belive Mr. Nichols is due back in NC next week.
ReplyDeleteI love these photo ops of Jake playing sports. Jake just hitting a ball. Anyone notice it is not a real game. No catcher.
Jake going one on one with Chris in basketball. Oh thats a tough physical game.
Jake standing on a surfboard on the beach. Jake holding on to a surfboard out in the water. Didnt actually see him surfing did we.
Yeah he can jog, Yeah he can ride a bike or horse. Not exactly rugby.
The sports photos are photo ops.
Yes prob sports photo ops but yes there's shots of riding at least 1 wave, more basebell shots doing different moves, whatever. BTW wouldn't call 1 set of coffee pics a "Reekefest".
ReplyDeleteIn the Reeke pics, did Jake get something done to his upper lip or is the camera lens bad, or both? The lens is making everything disportionate, stretching everything up/down. Jake's face is longer than a freakin horse. His upper lip is twice the size, but is it from the camera lens or a doctor's needle?
Reese in DC, probly took the Avon corp jet. Wonder if Jakey tagged along, so Reeke can switch private jets and go over to Egypt for more Reese PR opps Reeke PR. Or is Reese going alone to rip off the public into believeing she's charitable. Would love to see how many times she wears that necklace after the Avon PR circuit. How many times did she wear the bracelet, 4 times tops?
I thot Ted already had a smoking gun when he said about someone seeing Jake (not toothy) doing a digital dance (holding hands) with Austin/Austin lookalike (not gray goose) walking down the street in NY. Wouldn't Ted have to have some evidence of that before printing it with the real names? My guess is he does, the person who saw took a pic. A sighting like that published with full names would have to have backup: pics or an irrefutable source.
An Asian gf told me only Asians can wear socks with sandals and it looks normal/okay, everyone else look like idiots. LoL.
"3- Wear cargo shorts "
ReplyDeleteI don't get this Jake wore (green??) cargo shorts all the time. Is Ted doing a joke? Why do cargo shorts mean your straight?

ReplyDeleteIt's clear at this time E online let him to do it.
but without proof this sighting is as valide as any Reeke sighting!
There are several shots of him in the water attempting to surf. Everybody is only ever posting the shots of him learning the moves on the sand and carrying the board, because he looks really good in those pics.
ReplyDeleteIn the ones surfing, he's just trying to surf, falling, trying again. In most of them you can only see his head or upper body at best, so not many people care to post them.
There are shots of him playing basketball with Chris. Sometimes it's one-on-one, so what? Is Jake now obligated to always bring enough friends with him to build two teams or he is not allowed to play at all?
Believe it or not, there are actually pap vids of him and Chris playing basketball.
Once again mostly the shots of him standing and holding the ball are posted, because you can see his arm muscles the best and that's what people are more interested in.
There are shots of him hitting the ball during the basketball game, running after he hit it,...
I guess the same rule of only being allowed to play if enough people to form a complete team are around applies for him here, too.
Reeke outings are purely photo-ops, but that doesn't mean that every single thing Jake does is for publicity.
"but without proof this sighting is as valide as any Reeke sighting!"
ReplyDeleteNo it isn't, because most if not all Reeke sightings are from personal bloggers. Personal bloggers can be mistaken, they can make up sightings for the giggles and site hits and their egos. OTOH Ted is from E! a professional entertainment business, with deep pockets and to protect those deep pockets, loads of national and international communications laws they have to follow. Stuff like the Jake/Austin holding hands sighting in NY, it has to pass legal muster. Ted and E! definately had proof on this one. Ted didn't have to publish the pic/source name online to the readers but you can bet your ass they had evidence for any Jake/Austin attorneys that came a'callin after seeing that tasty little tidbit about their clients.
Sorry Tom, on this I have to disagree. Hayden is playing the hardest. Why he's bearded the longest, and upped it with the engagement to Rachel Bilson.
ReplyDeleteJake is playing the hardest. He chose a much more high profile relationship. You don't see Hayden and Rachel on the covers of tabloids, now do you?

Ted is credible cause he works for E!!
Are the others Gossip columnist who works for E credible too!!!
"Jake is playing the hardest. He chose a much more high profile relationship. You don't see Hayden and Rachel on the covers of tabloids, now do you?"
ReplyDeleteNobody care of Hayden and Rachel!
I guess it's easier to jump on people like Jake , hayden or others who aren't "big" star yet, instead of well established actors like leo , award nominated each years, Scorsese's muse, adored by productors....
ReplyDeleteThe guy has been bearded since long time now and that surely helped him a lot for his career!
If people like him don't come out of the closet why others should?
Dear Ted:
ReplyDeleteLoved the gossip/Toothy Tile paper. Thanks for the link and for keeping the mystery going. I for one don't really care who he is but do think it's a shame he's hiding, and that once out, society in general might not (probably won't) accept him in hetero roles. I'm also deeply saddened about his beard as she can't be in a very good place within herself. Tragedy all around.
—Kuchynata
Dear Tile 'n' Out:
The more tears we cry for Toothy the farther back he goes in his semi-well-dressed closet. Such a shame.
The Awful Truth
Isn't Fair, Leo may have been bearding for years, but Jake has made his bearding very high profile. We never see Leo on the cover of rag mags, nevermind on the cover with one of his girlfriends. We occasionally get some pap pics of Leo and GF and occasionally a few pics of Leo. Leo doesn't overload us with almost weekly pics of him and his GF going for coffee/shopping/exercising. Compare the amount of pap pics of Leo in 2008 to the amount of Reeke pics and rag mag photo spreads in 2008 and tell me who had the most? Reeke for sure had at least 5 times more than Leo.
ReplyDeleteMaybe but that change nothing, the guy lies all the same and plays the game!
ReplyDeleteLeo hasn't been high profile dating two supermodels? The ultimate straight man's fantasy making him by associate a straight man.
ReplyDeleteBut he was smart, he had his posse with him all the time, and in that group were the men he was or is dating.
One thing I was found amazing about Leo. He had in his contract making Titanic, to include having Toby flown down on a regular basis on the studios dime.
I think that Reeke is the highest profile bearding relationship after TomKat. Jake is the worst offender after Tom C. The other bearding couples are not as publicise with so insistent and detailed weekly info plants and photo ops. The third could be Zac and Vanessa.
ReplyDelete^the third or fourth could be Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake. They are everywhere too and are as annoying as Reeke.
ReplyDeletesomeone is innocent as long as he isn't proved guilty
ReplyDeleteAnd what's Will and Jada? Talking about having sex when they're on the red carpet.
ReplyDeleteBut that's ok, Reeke is worse of course.
Convenient. Forget about the others and make Reeke #1 cause you're pissed at Jake and you've made it personal.
You have to judge all Hollywood
ReplyDeleteI'll admit I'm harder on Jake than say, someone like Leo.
ReplyDeleteOne big reason is that Jake wouldn't be in a position to grab for the A-list without BBM and all the gay fans who helped make that movie a hit and made up a large part of his fanbase. To then turn around and beard is a huge slap to the gay community in a way that no one else's bearding is. And I know it's stupid to care what some actor does, but I take it personally.
Another reason is that Jake is from a younger generation than people like Leo, Geroge and Wenty. I think times have changed enough that people starting out there careers now have more freedom to be out and still have a career than actors did 10 years ago.
WoW! am I reading that people are making excuses for Jake bearding? This one is bearding harder than the other one? Jeeze. Bearding is bearding and it's wrong regardless of who does it.
ReplyDeleteI thought Ted was rather funny and I see no reason for him to let up on Jake. Leo has buzz, Jake doesn't. That's why Jake is on tabloid covers and Leo isn't.

ReplyDeleteWell said Destiny
What ! There are only gay fans in BBM fandom ???
ReplyDelete"To then turn around and beard is a huge slap to the gay community in a way that no one else's bearding is"
If it's true , yeah it's disappointing!
It is true.
ReplyDelete"I think times have changed enough that people starting out there careers now have more freedom to be out and still have a career than actors did 10 years ago."
ReplyDeleteClearly Jake doesn't want to be the guy who "changed things".
If I came off as making excuses as to why others beard, I didn't mean to. I think it is wrong when anyone does it. My main point was to say why I don't personally care as much about what others do. I really don't understand why someone like Leo continues to do it, except maybe habit and it's become a security blanket of sorts, and there's no adult willing to yank it away from him. Another reason why seeing a new generation do it is troubling.
ReplyDeleteI'll also add that the over-the-top nature of Jake's bearding is adding insult to injury, especially all those magazine covers "proclaiming" his heterosexuality.
Jake didn't have to change things and come out. All he had to do was not beard. Plenty of other people don't beard. K. Reeves for one, and he's had a successful career despite having a very limited range as an actor.

Oh, gosh I miss that guy. I am so enjoying my John Denver - The Wildlife Concert right now. Just a guy, with his guitar, a few back ups, and a decent, soothing voice singing about simple, beautiful things in life. Home is home no matter what or where or who it is with. And there is no feeling like going home.
Alright, sorry! I'm probably the only J. Denver fan in this whole OMG/WFT2 blogdom. I don't care. I love him.
Because there's a couple of pictures lately of Jake looking half hot, all is forgiven?
Uh......yeah.
JUST KIDDING!!!!I'm kidding, I'm kidding!

I agree. Totally. Do you know how irritated I get every stinkin' time I see Tom Cruise holding onto Katie Holmes' elbow like she's some kind of stinkin' trophy of his? Like she has no mind or will of her own? And she doesn't! She doesn't as long as she lets that guy use her like some kind of Barbie doll. I'll never forget that memory of Tom jumping up & down on his couch like a fool, trying to pretend like he was head over heels in love. And while there is no more proof of him than Jake, there's near enough smoke to be sure for him hiding something.
Oh, gah, here comes Rocky Mountain High. I can't be snarly while listening to that, sorry. Taking an time out for a minute.

Closet case, heal thyself.
Ahhhh...oh, that song is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh brother, I had a type-o. A time out, that should say, not an. Why in the heck did I do that.
I suppose one of the things that irritates the heck out of me about Jake's bearding, besides the dishonesty to himself, is when he seems to take the enjoyment in it. A la Tom Cruise, the hooked elbow, shoulders back, blonde hetero trophy on his arm, like that's the billboard for everything that says "a man". The fact that he's doing it with an A-list Oscar winner says that there were ulterior side benefits/perks which got him off, like tabloid publicity and attention. I don't know if he would've gotten into the VF party this year on his own or not, without her. That kind of stuff does irritate me.
Ha! And don't even get me started on what the bearding/photo ops with Reese's kids says about his priorities with his own relationship and his own kid(s) if indeed there is such.
But, I am also trying to be good here. I don't want to be the kind of person who's going to jump on him just whenever he behaves the way I don't like. That's not right either. I dunno. I'm torn, I guess.
I've been told online that I am wishy washy that way, trying to please everyone sometimes. I suppose that's so. I agree with lots of points. But when I do feel strongly about something, you'll know it, believe me. And not anyone will deter me from that opinion.
sigh.
"Closet case, heal thyself."
ReplyDeleteWhat examples you are to Jake. Why doesn't he come out? Look in the mirror and you have your answer.
Now I'm gonna wait for you to call me a babbler, hater, or troll. How wrong you are. TB'er since the beginning.
Oh, I'm out, "long time lurker". I am out to grandparents, family, friends and work colleagues. And I work in a not-so-gay-friendly environment, as well.
ReplyDeleteNow, what's your name?
That makes no sense lurker. The closet case remark was directed at someone who seems to be defending the bearding. As far as I know the people who identify as gay or bi here are not in the closet, and certainly not the ones who attack the bearding.
ReplyDeleteYou're also confusing the closet with bearding. Two completely different things. Jake could have stayed in the closet and not bearded.
"Ha! And don't even get me started on what the bearding/photo ops with Reese's kids says about his priorities with his own relationship and his own kid(s) if indeed there is such."
ReplyDeleteHe don't care of them ! It's sad for Austin and the kids!
No. 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.
ReplyDeleteFans who act like what?
ReplyDelete
