The"secluded boutique compound" on the outskirts of the Marrakesh, contains only private nine suites. The hotel is based upon a rose theme, from rose-flavored tea for guests, lush grounds, a secret rose garden oasis in sea of sand, and each suite bearing the the name of a certain type of rose like White Crystal, Royal Gold. The Villa Rose Sultan "comes with an impressive pedigree. The owner, Majid Ej Jennane, a grandson of the former pasha of the imperial city of Meknes, worked in marketing for Chanel and Hermès." The suite's rooms are "rough-walled, elemental and minimalist" complimenting the desert vistas. There is no restaurant, but rather a kitchen that prepares meals as the request of each suite. Patios are lined with high walls for privacy looking out over the glassy outdoor pool, gardens and mountain views. There is a traditional hammam (traditional Moroccan bathes - a multi-step cleansing technique requires a brew of hot and cold water, olive oil soap and a mud-like paste in a honeycomb of rooms).
A review of the hotel in the NY Times travel section describes it levels level of privacy. "If you’re trying to evade paparazzi, creditors or the law, the Villa Rose Sultan is for you. Located a good 20-minute drive from Marrakesh proper, the hotel is hidden behind anonymous high walls at the edge of a vast unpaved and unmarked dirt expanse roughly a quarter mile off the Route d’Ourika highway. The upside is a stellar view of the Atlas Mountains, fresh air and tranquillity — all in short supply in the city’s central districts. The downside is the hassle of getting into town, or even just across the bumpy sea of dirt. Don’t expect any taxis to be able to find it. You’re pretty much obliged to use the hotel’s driver."
Beautiful garden, elemental rooms, secluded, exlusive privacy. Sounds like they hit the nail on the head for Jake's accomodations.
Makes you wonder if the entire compound was rented out for Jake and his personal entourage. Seems like you could have people or perhaps a Secret Squirrel come and stay and no one would know. Hmmmm....
The Rose Sultan
Secret Squirrel! LOL.
ReplyDeleteBoy, that place looks like an oasis, doesn't it? That view from the room and then that rooftop hideaway. sigh. Wouldn't you love to visit there? Maybe could just have a helicoptor drop me down; then when I'm ready, beam me back up and deposit me back into the city. lol
Love the simplicity of it all. No extravagance. Just simple beauty.
netb, the Honeymooners has been a real joy to discover. And I love the graininess of the black & white. I mean, some of those shows are soooo old, the picture is just terrible. But that's part of what I love about it. It's like stepping back into a wonderful point in time. I loved it when Ralph would hurt himself and he'd go walking around, clutching his hand or whatever he hurt, and he'd just bellow & yell over and over. I loved that! And then when he'd tell Alice, "Oh, you're a real riot, Alice! A real riot!" And then when Alice would tell him, "Aww, shuuuuuuut up". Which I know is kind of rude, but it was just comedy and it kills me everytime she says that.
And look at the sets that they sometimes used. They were so fake!! Oh my gosh, they were so fake. Like just painted canvas. And their apartment was just one simple set; never even saw their bedroom. But it worked. I don't think about that when I watch because they're just so funny & engaging.
netb, you are just fine, girl. We learn from whatever happens; lol, it's a daily process with me. So forget all about it.
You & m were talking about RPL's and I wanted to say that I don't read many of those, myself. I have found a few; I just favor Jack & Ennis is all. And I love AuAu's. Absolutely love those - not everyone does, tho. You & I will have a great little chatter about these when we meet.
Whats a Secret Squirrel please?
ReplyDeleteSecret Squirrel = Austin
ReplyDeleteSecret Agent Man
Wow. That place sounds so beautiful. I could sure use that kind of serenity right now. I think I'm a little burnt out.
ReplyDeleteHaven't heard Sting I a long while. I used to be hooked on him.
Just popping in, it's one of the few nice days we've had this year and I'm spending as much time as possible outside. I started it out with a long walk along the Hudson River down to the Village to meet a friend for breakfast.
ReplyDeleteI would love to get away to someplace exotic and stay in a place like that. Probably takes a lot of exotic money too.
He's getting as tired as we are waiting for ToothyInteresting twitter from Ted, it's the first substantive "news" he's said about either one of them in quite some time. I'll be back later to say more on that topic.
What the hell did my Zodiac do to these people?
ReplyDeleteJust got caught up on the last post and this bit from sienata really touched me:
ReplyDeletewhat makes me real is that i feel bad about that, even though he never knew. i still shopped at his store, smiled and spoke and went on my way like nothing was wrong. i kept it inside, and eventually it dwindled down to nothing. that's what people do, when they canBeautifully stated and entirely relatable. I think most people could say the same.

Chloe Sevigny, I expect more from you!
ReplyDeletethanks guys, for the support. i'm not perfect - i'll never claim to be - and i don't mind someone calling me on it when i make a mistake, but only if their heart's in the right place.
ReplyDeleteenough about that. the thing i like about this place is that i get to talk about Jake, who, after so much obsession and angst and disappointment, is still fascinating to me! do we know if he really stayed in this place in the post? it's beautiful, for sure!
i'm so very curious, hopeful, nervous, about what the weekend will bring.. a new batch of Reeke pics, or possibly rumors or news that things aren't all rosy in brentwood. that would be so sweet!
i think it would do jake a world of good to get out from under her thumb and get back to living his own life. even if, 2 yrs ago, he went into this arrangement with his eyes wide open, how often do we do make a decision like that and then later on into it think, WTF was i thinking??? i sincerely believe he's showing signs of wear and tear from a life that is just not working for him anymore.
we're in blue ridge georgia, which is a mountain town with a lot of emphasis on outdoorsy stuff and bikes, etc, which - of course - makes me think of him. i did some browsing in a northface shop. i wanted to get a norhtface teeshirt, but the one i ended up buying is a Patagonia shirt. it's black with a happy blue frog lying on his back smiling up at a sliver of blue moon. yayayay for a tiny bit of jakeness in my life. and i saw another pair of dudes that i'm pretty sure were a couple. that always makes me feel warm and fuzzy. i don't know why, exactly. i guess because it makes me feel like my stories aren't just totally make believe - that there are real guys out there like my guys, living their lives.
speaking of my stories, E. at Dreamspinner Press is going to pick up Turning Thirty. i'm pretty jazzed about that. it will be my third sold story. my sweetie and i have been driving around up here, dreaming of retirement, and i'm envisioning myself up here in a cabin house on the side of a mountain, writing slash every day. hmmm.... sounds pretty nice, heh??
lets all keep our fingers and toes crossed for happy jake news. hugs all around. enjoy your weekend. s.
Gorgeous place. I cant imagine what it must cost to stay there. Beautiful day here today so I am taking a short internet break, going to work in my yard. See you all later tonight.
ReplyDeletei'm envisioning myself up here in a cabin house on the side of a mountain, writing slash every day. hmmm.... sounds pretty nice, heh??Sounds wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThe Lou Taylor Pucci guy in the Informers premiere pic with Austin looks like he would snarl and bite your face off if you got any closer to Austin.
ReplyDelete^Funny that's how Austin looks like at paps when he and Jake are together.
ReplyDeleteI thought mr pucci looked very snug and happy up under austin's arm. hmmm. hope there isn't abut to be trouble in paradise! maybe that's way of telling jake to make a decision, and who can blame him. if we're all sick to death of reekeing, imagine how the players must feel. i don't really see how austin is getting any bilateral good out of it, because isn't he even more likely to be gay than jake? i don't know, but i actually thought he was out until i started reading here and realized he wasn't. anyway, it seems like he's got nothing to lose and all to gain if jake gets out of this deal. go jake go!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous place. I cant imagine what it must cost to stay there. m... saddo that i am I've just checked for you. Okay its not bargain basement but at between £150 - £200 per night for two (see expedia.co.uk) its hardly going to break the bank. Okay, if you're in the US then getting to Morrocco might be abit of a shlep, but lots of people go there on holiday from the UK, its very much a winter sun destination (abit like Florida but with souks). Heck, now I know Jakey stayed there I might book a few days myself.

James Schamus: "I feel that really the progress is going to be when some big Hollywood gigantic action movie, with the hot babes and action hero, and the star shows up with his boyfriend on the red carpet."
ReplyDeleteHmm, I wonder if he's thinking of his good friend Jake here who's just about to start promoting PoP - an action movie with a hot babe in it.
Meg, maybe you can stay in his suite. And if you go, take one of those blacklight thingies with you, the thing that crime scene investigators use to look for hidden semen stains, so you can check the bedspread and chairs and ceilings...
ReplyDeleteActually Mettle Detector, think i'll skip the CSI style routinue and save my pennies, thanks for the suggestion anyway.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are getting all kinds of inspiration, sienna! It sounds like you are having a great time. Congrats on selling your new story; that's really exciting.
ReplyDeleteI kind of glanced at those party pictures so I don't know which one was this Pucci guy. I didn't recognize either one; duh, I reckon they're both in the movie. All I cared about was Austin, lol! Although I did look at JustJared and they had a bit on one of the actresses in The Informers (she was beautiful) at the premiere. I don't remember her name either.
At first, I didn't like the way those guys were all chummy with mr Austin, but hey, you know what? On second thought, maybe Austin needs to peruse the garden a bit and Jake'll realize what he has that is not worth the risk losing. I really think Austin has hit his stride. He's a real catch.
It's been rainy & damp, cloudy, and intermittent sunshine here today. Laundry sat until this morning; I intensely dislike waiting til Sat. mornings to do my linens. But I got to watch alot of my Caroline in the City Season 1 dvd. That show was so funny - Malcolm Gets & Lea Thompson had some good chemistry. That Malcolm was hot - I usually don't go for blond guys at all, but he was very attractive with the thickest, waviest blondish streaked hair. You just wanted to reach in and grasp that great looking tuft that hung over his forehead. And he had a fantastic upper body. On top of it all, his character was wonderfully sarcastic & droll. The girl that played Annie was so talented. I don't know whatever happened to her but she had great timing & sassiness.
Of course, like so many great shows where the two leads have great chemistry, once they get together, the show goes down the tubes. I.E. Moonlighting, Scarecrow & Mrs King are two that come to mind real quick. Guess 1/2 the fun is the chase.
Okay, I'm off to take a snooze - love a Sat. afternoon nap.
The more I read about Rose Sultan the more I thought about how Jake could have all the entire place booked out just for him on Disney tab and having the privacy and all the visitors he wanted.
ReplyDeleteI just keep getting reminded of the rider Leo had in his contract for Titanic that the studio was paying for Tobey to come visit him. And think that Jake had something similar for Austin to come to Morocco and London.
Honestly I don't think Austin would do that to Jake, (the Pucci picture) he is not the kind of person to make public gesture to make Jake do something. Austin is an intravert, who plays an extravert very well, but what he wants in his relationship would not be done in the public eye.
Prairie Girl, for you, Austin and Jake's competition oops I mean Lou.
ReplyDeleteLook closely at that picture of Austin and Lou.
ReplyDeleteDo you see something in Austin's hand that he is tucked up his sleeve.
It looks like his phone/blackberry. Wonder if was texting home and see what is happening... maybe someone didn't want him to go, and I don't mean Jake.
I did not know this! A juvenile male turkey is called a jake.
ReplyDeleteSo does this picture mean that Austin was doing something with Matt last February?
ReplyDeleteMatt & AustinCause it doesn't look like that happened.
How funny Wild turkey - thanks for that!!

ReplyDeleteWow I cant wait to see Woodstock. It is the next great gay themed film that will most likely be nominated for best Picture. Ang Lee is also thought be be in line for Oscar number two for Best Director for this film. Several of the actors are also considered top contenders for acting noms.
You hit the nail on the head James Shamus. Action hero movie = PoP. The actor who brings his boyfriend to the red Carpet.Take a guess:-) Do they have the balls? Lets see what happens.
Sieana your not a redneck for crying out loud girl. Your in georgia. It is the nasty smell of them papermills. They make you crazy. My best advice. GET OUT:-)
Wow this is a beautiful place, what a nice image. Haven't heard this Sting song in awhile.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Sienata on selling your story, that's very exciting!
It was gorgeous here today too, but looks like rain now. Started work in the garden, went for a walk in the State Park.
:)
Jake out with Reese pics on JJ. Now be ready for hell to break out on this website, LOL! The heart broken farts who were holding their breath hoping Jake would stop seeing the 'beard'. You are so delusional, it is actually funny.
ReplyDeleteQuite sexy I would say but the "thing" next to him , like usual blehhhhhh
ReplyDeleteReese at Coachella? Sorry I just don't see her into that music. Ok maybe Joss Stone, but really the rest of the line up, nah...
ReplyDeleteBut I do wonder if Austin is there for the Palm Springs' show, since it's his kind of music festival, and Jake's too.
Er, apart from the "fly" photo, it's basically two or three images repeated several times. Maybe Jake was a grumpypants in the other 500 shots so they just went with this one and spread it out, lol.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm . . .I wonder if Reese is a Henry Rollins fan.
ReplyDeleteFleet Foxes and Band of Horses are there too. :)
Mrs Witherspoon didn't go to Palm Springs to waste her precious time on music.
ReplyDeleteCoachella Line Up
ReplyDeleteHenry Rollins frequently speaks out on social justice on his spoken word tours and promotes equality, regardless of sexuality. He was the host of the WedRock benefit concert, which raised money for a pro-gay-marriage organization.
ReplyDeleteOK, wrap it up, I'm done
ReplyDeleteHenry will never come out.
ReplyDeleteReese, you can go to all the Coachella music festivals you want to, and you will never be edgy. Ever. Sorry, soccer mom.
ReplyDeleteIHJ usually has the pics in the opposite sequence.
ReplyDeleteSo that means that they arrived, had a mini meeting in the parking lot (where they see the paps) and then walked in for the paps (who just happened to be walking in front of them).
The pics looking almost exactly the same means it took probably less than 5 minutes to do.
took probably less than 5 minutes to do.
ReplyDeleteThen Reese went shopping and I looked for Austin.
They look hot!!!!
ReplyDeletePoor babblers, they are as desperate as Reese Witherspoon.
ReplyDeleteJake is the one that is desperate, take off your blinders.
ReplyDeleteReese Witherspoon is pathetic publicity whore using fake bf for a few more dollars.
ReplyDeleteJake is gay, which is bad for a Hollywood actor.
Is Jake's fly down in the pics where he's by himself? Also, isn't the woman in the (horrible)plaid dress their PR person or something?
ReplyDeletebutton fly no zipper
ReplyDeleteYep, his zipper is down, you can see it in the 1st pics where he's standing and crossing his arms in the parking lot. Maybe Reese gave him a bj on the way there? Excuse me while I go throw up, lol.
ReplyDeleteEwww, don't even joke about it - I'm going to throw up.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Reese gave him a bj on the way there? Excuse me while I go throw up, lol.With that other woman looking on. Even the Babblers can't truly think something like that, can they?!?
ReplyDeleteActually, new pics, looking at calendar on wall, we were due this weekend for some Reeke pictures, so it doesn't surprise at all. Don't hold your breath, hoping to see us get upset. These are nothing.
ReplyDeleteI'm seeing the necklace around Jake's neck in these pictures.
Hey, I am darn excited. The guy is wearing light tan & brown!! Wooohooo! I can't believe it. And he looks darn good in it, too. Why doesn't he wear stuff like this more often?
Er, too bad the fly's unzipped. You know, at events like these, could be the only thing available was the PortaJohn's. In his haste to get the heck outta there, Jake could've forgotten to take care of that. Or else, yeah, they are button front? Do they make button front shorts? No matter. I like those shorts on him. Obviously, California is in full warm weather mode now, so hopefully there is no more need for sweaters, hoodies, caps, and whatnot.
Notice Reese is in full "on" mode here. You have to hand it to her. When "Lights, Camera, Action" is called, she knows what to do.
Jake is using Reese and her kids to straighten out his image, he is the worst kind of man: using women.
ReplyDeleteYou fangirls need to take off your blinders.
Reese gave him a bj on the way there?
ReplyDeleteI'm nominating you for this year's Bad Sex in Fiction Awards.
Bad Sex in Fiction Awards
You could take the Paris, London, Morocco, & 329 of the shopping/coffee pics, interchange the clothing on Jake & Reese like they were paper dolls, and the pictures would all look the same.
ReplyDeleteSame forced smiles, same handholding, same everything. Oh, and I forgot something. Interchange the background picture. Try it.
They do seem to have a 3rd wheel along. Hmm, that makes it kind of hard to get any real intimacy in, don't it?
Okay, I'm out for the night.
Hey, and thanks, pic! Thanks for that link. I clicked on it right away. That guy is kind of short, tho. Or else Austin just makes everyone else look that way.
Right on schedule. Back to their every two weeks routine.
ReplyDeleteTed seems to be hinting in his twitter that Austin is tired of the hiding. And I've got to wonder how much of a factor that was in his signing up for two years of OTH. Yes it's a job, and it's been good for his career. But maybe he enjoys being far away in N.C. where he doesn't have to put up with the HW machine and Jake's nonsense.
Destiny
ReplyDeleteI think that Austin signing up for OTH gives some stability when the movie industry is tightening up with budgets. And it's another place that is not in Hollywood but close to NY. Remember Hil said he is a man of mystery on the weekends? He might just commute up and back to NYC, like a lot of other actors have done when they worked on series in Wilmington. And hmm, who is another mystery man when he's in NYC.
I can see him liking Wilmington too, because it's an artist community. And he grew up in a city with a huge artist community.
After seeing the last few photo op sets of Reeke where Jake was clearly not comfortable:
ReplyDeleteThird wheel = WD40/referee/interloper
Uh oh.
ReplyDeleteOn Just Jared, the post directly above the Reeke one, there's pics of a real couple in love, snapped at the same event. When compared to the faux stuff right below, the difference is striking.
Can't believe that PR/Reese either planned or can be pleased by that placement.
I am ROFLMAO at the pictures of Reese at Coch. I wish I could post a scream of hysterical laughter because seriously WTF is she wearing? Why are they there? The mind boggles.
ReplyDeleteWOW. 32 pics and Jake doesn't look at the Chin once. Even if you walk side by side and are holding hands, you LOOK at each other as you talk, little glances here and there, you can't help it, it's a way of communicating and gauging reactions, and that's true whether you are lovers are friends. These two, it was a photo op.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing: In the first few pics where he's by himself (not touching Reese), Jake's head and eye gaze is upwards or at level, even without the hat on and with the sun in his eyes. But in all the pics when he holds hands with the Chin, he looks at the ground.
It'll be interesting to see what Twitter/bloggers at Coachella say, if anything. If they even care! If Reeke was even there!
TR, Clearly, she is trying to "hip" up her image. Look at what she wore to the Oscars. I thought it was ghastly but Reese probably wore it to be cutting-edge. Ditto for the horrifying majorette outfit she wore at the premiere of "Monsters & Aliens." Clearly, she's OUT to youthify her image. Maybe her PR people were distressed that she wasn't appealing to a young demographic or something like that. I think she looks ridiculous--like a tired, worn out and desperate soccer mom.
ReplyDeleteShe's wearing a cotton dress and a hat. I read it was over 100 degrees out in Coachella today. What should she be wearing? I'm confused by the clothing commentary.
ReplyDeletePerhaps something more fitting, something with a shape, a tailored shape that compliments hers, instead of hanging like a potato sack and accentuating her natural attributes. A shirt with an interesting collar, lapels, etc. that will draw the eye away from her hips. Shorts, in an appropriate for both age and height that would gather at the waist and create the illusion of her having one.
ReplyDeleteAlso, the color is potato sack, Little House on the Prarie, and someone with (fake) blonde hair is washed out already, especially in the bright sunlight, and needs some color to keep from fading away. Doesn't need to be neon pink or green, or even a metallic gun wrapper, but something more bold than beige.
The shoes, grandmas. The hat, grandpas. Both look like she was out clam digging just before.
I'm not an A-list actress, nor do I have oodles of money, an entourage to help me do every little thing, or a stylist who's job it is to make their client's look good.* And I figured out what she's wearing is just god awful.
*Reese's should be fired. And fined. Fired and fined for allowing her to go out looking like that.
Sienata,
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased to see how you dealt so well with your heckler. You have nothing to be ashamed of and should be commended for speaking directly and openly to those of us with open minds and hearts, which I'm sure includes most of us.
Special and Wicked, let's consider the Villa Rose Sultan for our first international OMG gathering... special guests to be determined at a later date.
Hope everyone is having a Great Weekend. Every time I sense a Reeking I just reach for the biking photos.
S.
i am constantly baffled by her clothing choices, because i have this impression of her as being someone who's cute and chic, etc. i'm so lame that - honest to gosh - i actually have clothes that i bought because i thought they looked like something she might wear. on a scale of one to one hundred, i know that's totally pathetic, but i was pretty pathetic about the whole thing for a while. i've got a really cute above the hips houndstooth jacket that has a tie belt, and some cute nine west flats with a silver buckle thing, both that i think of as reese wear.
ReplyDeletebut for realz, most of the time you wonder, who dresses her? does she even own a mirror? ok, i'm not doubting it was hot at the concert today, but still, she shops almost every day of her life. how could she not have something more flattering to wear? it's like the shots of her with Jake at POP, where he was looking all weirdly muscled and she looked like she was going to work in her flower bed.
as much as i hate to admit it, i do think she's cute and altho i kinda like seeing her looking so frumpy, i don't understand it. is that supposed to make us think they are so comfy together that she can't even be bothered to look nice for him?
i didn't care for the oscar dress either, and that weirdness with M&A was very strange. she looked very strange in the pics too, like her tanning lotion had gone wrong or something. i was surprised at that as well.
i'm sure i will get beat with an ugly stick for making this post. ugh. i hate cosmic retribution. in my own defense, i'm not trying to belittle her, because she CAN look really nice. that's what i don't understand. if she wasn't attractive, it'd be diff, but she is, so why downplay it so.
hmmm?
but 80% of the time, when i see pics
Seaweed...
ReplyDeletethank you. i found the whole thing to be rather mysterious, since it's not as if i was touting myself as a paragon. i was using myself as an example of how people who try really hard to do the right thing can still do the wrong thing under the right circumstances. i'm pretty sure that point got lost in Red's reading of my post, but oh well. life goes on. sb.
"IHJ usually has the pics in the opposite sequence.

The pics looking almost exactly the same means it took probably less than 5 minutes to do."
When I first saw your comment I agreed. But then after seeing Jake's zipper down, his tee shirt hanging out in some of the pics and looking closer at the ground shadows in the pics, I would say, no.
The handholding walking around pics have direct, shorter shadows, which means they were taken around the middle of the day/noonish. Also Jake's shirt is hanging out and his fly is zipped.
Men go to the bathroom and afterwards they tuck in the shirt front and zip up, right? So it's safe to assume that Jake had just come from visiting the bathroom in the fly-down pics. And the last pic in that set is him walking away from the other 2. Also notice how the shadows on the ground and on his chest and shoulder are longer than the handholding ones and his neck looks slightly sunburned. He doesn't have typical hat hair but I think its because of the style of hat he was wearing (more room in the crown), he has shorter hair now and it's windy there in the desert, you can see his hair blowing about.
So what I deduce is that the walking pics were done first, around noon, then maybe the 3 of them had lunch (which would explain the time lapse) in a VIP dining area (no paps) and then afterwards he went to the bathroom, did his thing, tucked in his shirt front, forgot to zip up, came out, they chatted a bit, he said see ya and left.
Another thing too, maybe it's just me, lol, but I'm always looking at the fly front area of a guy I love or having a physical relationship with. Not boldly staring in public lol but just glances, my eyes just go there, it's a lust thing I guess, I can't explain it. And when I know he's just been to the restroom and we're at a party or in a public place, I just automatically do a quick visual to see if everything is in its proper place, because I care about him and I wouldn't want him to be embarrassed in any way. Does that make sense? Anyway, like I said maybe it's just me but I thought it very telling that Reese didn't notice that Jake's zipper was all the way unzipped, because real lovers tend to LOOK there, a lot.
Reese wearing one of Kiki's old dresses AGAIN LOL
ReplyDelete"Nice!! And guess who else we spied mixing with the festivalgoers -- Kirsten Dunst, with bleached blonde hair, chilling in the VIP with two gentlemen during Paul McCartney's headlining set, and we're 99% sure we saw 21 and Into the Wild star Emile Hirsch out in the crowd during the same performance. We'll keep looking for photographic proof..."
Buzznet
Lane, interesting review of the pics. That all sounds reasonable, especially the part about the zipper. I'm pretty much attentive to that too, with all my guys. At my job, we sit to work, and when another controller comes to give us a break, they usually stand up while we brief them on what's going on, then sit in our chair. That puts their fly at eye level, so i'm a fly checker from way back. And as far as Jake's fly is concerned, this wasn't a very subtle bit of unzippage. it was way noticeable, which means she's not paying him much attention at all.
ReplyDeletegood catch! :)
Walking outside in 100 degrees do you really want to hold hands with someone?
ReplyDeleteThese two look like they live in a run down trailer park. What the hell image are they trying to portray. Maybe they wanna be Roseann's next store neighbors. Maybe hang around with Tonya Harding. The only time this woman has looked half way decent with this man was at the Lakers game and you damn well know that was because she knew she be on the kiss kam.
ReplyDeleteI'm beginning to think Reese dresses herself the majority of the time, especially in casual situations like this - there can't possibly be a professional stylist working in Hollywood putting together dud after dud like this can there? And Reese approving them? Knowing what a control freak she is, maybe it's a case of her actually having poor fashion sense and some hapless stylist having to work within her guidelines. This latest outfit might just take the cake, though, that saggy back end is enough to make you shudder.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be surprised if she *was* calculating this and playing up the "we're so in love and comfortable with each other that it doesn't matter what I throw on, Jake loves it all" angle.
I don't envy her figure at all. Completely pear-shaped to the extreme on top with thin legs at the bottom. Add to that her being very petite and it's very emphasized.
The only time this woman has looked half way decent with this man was at the Lakers game and you damn well know that was because she knew she be on the kiss kam.as well as the cover of US. When I eventually saw that cover it seemed so obvious they had aimed for capturing a "tender" shot of Reeke by request.
ReplyDeleteNow compare these two to Brad and Angelina or Tom and Katie. How are they supposed to be good for each others career. They look like idiots.
ReplyDeleteJake should have went the Leonardo route. Hang out with supermodels or something.
Maybe they are for real. Two losers in love.
Nice try but no, what the f is your problem with soccer moms?
ReplyDeleteLane brings up something that has had my attention from day one but I never wanted to bring it up. My proof positive that Reeke is fake. Look for PR to make immediate changes in future pics. Watch any couple- a real couple. They make eye contact regularly to gauge their mate's reaction, to see their mood, happiness etc. Actually its one of the ways I can spot a gay couple, vs just 2 guys out, or 2 women out, by noting their eye contact. Reeke rarely make eye contact. They could care less what each other thinks.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all soccer moms dont look that bad. Reeke looks like hobos.
ReplyDeleteSo who makes Jake look hot?
Who makes Jake look interesting?
Who makes Jake look hip?
Who makes Jake look young?
Who makes Jake look masculine?
One answer ladies. Austin Nichols.
Why This?
Interesting looks at the pictures. Romance Mirage, short but makes sense comment. When it's 100 degrees, I don't even like to wear jewelry.
ReplyDeleteOkay guys, here's the latest "scoop" from US Weekly, official mag of you know what. This little blurb was tucked towards the middle along with an old pic of J & R, he in his lumberjack flannel shirt & tea cozy, she in I forget what, didn't pay close attention, lol. Anyway, I can't remember word for word, but it was a story about J & R's recent spring break trip with Ava & Deacon.
All it said was it was "recent", no dates given. And it said that they all stayed at the "eco-resort Lapa Rios in Costa Rica". The big details it gave were 1)something about Reese one night losing her room key and having to go down to the front desk with a flashlight, 2)a mention of opportunity for plenty of PDA, and 3) something about when the kids were in the pool, J & R stole the opportunity for "super affectionate" PDA.
No pictures. No specific dates. And these little tidbits provided by that vague "source".
Now, I would think 1)just like Cabo, we would've had a splash of pictures of this family trip and 2) where are the suntans?
Not that they all couldn't have gone, but no LAX pictures at least? Could US Weekly really just blatantly make this story up?????
new pics, what did I say? It is so entertaining to see you all get so worked up and start trowing shit! LOL, the more upset ...bingo!

ReplyDeleteNah, not getting worked up. Just pointing out all the holes in the armor. Tonight, it's light entertainment. Some of these comments are killing me, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteBoy, I know this is totally irrelevant and totally skip-worthy, but at one of the Borders stops, there was a young girl throwing absolutely one of the hugest fits I've ever seen. And she wasn't even a toddler - she must've been at least my niece's age. When it became evident that her party was going to leave the store without some magazine she wanted (everyone in the entire store could hear, believe me, that it was some magazine that she really, really wanted), she did a fantastic double footed stomp with great height to it. I had to hand it to "Mom"; she was calmly paying for her purchase and if she was talking to her, it must have been quiet & calmly. And they just left the store.
It was a huge scene - like a bad carwreck. I always feel so bad for the parents during these things, lol, and so relieved that I don't have kids.
Sorry to burst your bubble "new pics" but we're not upset or worked up. You obviously can't tell the difference between being upset and roasting someone.
ReplyDeleteBut Prairie Girl I was going to send you some of mine!
ReplyDeleteOh, I can tell the difference, dear. Roasting who again? As if anyone cared! LOL, so predictable.
ReplyDeleteLOLLLL! Octomom. What a name. Isn't it funny how on all websites with stories about her, that is her name? CNN.com seems to always have a survey question about her. And they always refer to her as "Octomom".
ReplyDeleteOh well, no thanks, Octomom! This one was not meant to bear & raise children. But that girl's high octane fit was a real attention getter tonight. It started at a low roar and it just built & built up into this big crescendo to the point where it echoed throughout the entire store and those Borders stores are huge. The double footed bunny hop stomp was the highlight, hair flying & all.
I shouldn't laugh at it so. But it was a spectacle.
Off to bed. A bit of light entertainment tonight.
ReplyDeleteIt's my weekend to usher tomorrow; forgot my plans to try & get up early to go walk at 6 in the morning. Uh oh.
Prariegirl... i don't have kids either for just that reason. i don't have the patience to deal with that, and i was a total pain in the rear kid when i was a kid (not that there is anything wrong with that - not throwing stones here! LOL) so i'm sure payback would've sucked! everyone told me i'd be sorry, but i haven't been so far. everyone isn't meant to have kids, and it's not like we're running out!
ReplyDeleteas for the spring break trip to Costa Rica, have they even been missing for long enough to do that? and wouldn't that have been a great pap pic opp? i can't believe they would've let that moment pass by unphotographed. that would be the first move in a long time that might actually make them seem like the real deal! ick!!!! the lack of any genuine facts is extremely suspicious. but truthfully, from US pov, does it matter? other than Reeke, who else would care if the story were true or not, and if it's done at Reeke's behest, they are totally off the hook.
Ahh no wonder Jake got out of LA town, the GLAAD media awards were Friday night. "I would LOVE to be there but unfortunately I can't associate with my own kind so I already made plans to be out of town with my beard for a music festival photo op!"
ReplyDeleteokay, hate to tell you this but they did stay for some of the music. Now you don't have to look but some of these are quite funny.
ReplyDeletegranny gets her groove on how much longer does this contract have to run thinks Jake ponders oh to be in Austin's arms Hope you all have a great Sunday.
Sorry, should have put more spaces between those. Here's another
ReplyDeleteReese wishes she'd got Jake to go to Redneck fest instead
She is at a music festival where she would want to be comfortable not at a fashion event.
ReplyDeleteShe is not fat. She is not chubby and she is not large.
Nowhere near it.
Women should not HAVE to dress up for men at any time.
And if anyone on this site truly believes that, then you are worse than the beauty magazines. And if anyone saying any of these things is a woman, you should be drawn and quartered.
I kept my tongue during the Reese bikini pictures but this is just too much.
Rag on the woman because she's a famewhore, bearding, PR crazy, bitchy etc but leave the misogny out of it.
Thanks for the pics Meg and the heads up, love your names for them. In pic #5 (I went thru them) what are they doing? At first it looks affectionate (blech) but then I noticed the hands, what were they doing, that every-other-hand layering thing that teams do? Jake put his right hand on her stomach, then R put her right hand on his right hand, then Jake put his left hand over her right hand, then she placed her left hand on top of his left hand. WTF? LOL... And is his expression supposed to be sexy? What a sad :( frown he has.
ReplyDeleteYou just know these pics are for a magazine spread.
Very late to this and haven't looked at the pics yet, but your comments have been cracking me up.
ReplyDeleteI agree Reese doesn't have a good figure and I think her best look was the sort of pocket Kirsten thing she did for a while, with the shoulder-length bob - longer hair doesn't suit her overall tinyness and makes her look bratty. Anyway, can't wait to look at the pics ... agree as well she hasn't an indie bone in her body and really shouldn't try, but don't start me on people trying to be things they're not.
Meg, thanks for finding the details of the Moroccan place, it looks well affordable :):)
Hi ag, nice to see you - I honestly don't think style critique is misogyny, any more than disliking Jake's plaid shirts was misandry - but I think you're right some of the bikini stuff got a bit nasty. I say call it like it is, though, if someone says "great figure" I expect to see Kelly Brook levels of perfection. I don't think it's misogynistic to say Reese's figure is just OK. Same for the boys - we are interested in these people for their looks as well as their talent, after all.
ReplyDeleteReese is holding Jake's arms and hands down, making sure the photog gets the shot before Jake gets too squeamish.
ReplyDeleteHad a quick look, the clothes are very meh, think I'd have gone for better proportioned hair and sunnies, something cool and dark for a dress and only one bright colour in the accessories - it all looks a bit Primark the way she's done it, but hey :D
ReplyDeleteOK, I love Primark - and I want to go for the ton - but what I'm trying to say is it's possible to look stylish on almost no money.
ReplyDelete100?
Jake's helping Matthew McConaughey out promoting his movie Ghosts of Girlfriends Past(and Future) LOL
ReplyDeleteKiki in the crowd, Jenny Lewis on the stage, and ..well you get the idea.
Looking at the line up - wow - you gotta think Austin is somewhere in it all shirtless.
ummm....someone at JJ said Jake looked like a bug eyed Basset hound! I guess I'll get flamed for this but it made me laugh!
ReplyDeleteGuess Jake is still hanging on to his lifeline hoping he'll get some publicity and projects. He sure doesn't want to lose his fanbase so he plays to both sides of the fence.
Sometimes I get so tired watching this crap
I wonder if Austin will dump him? Man, that'll be the day!
Reese doesn't have a great body and the bikini pics were awful. I have no problem with people calling it as they see it.
Hey good morning, London!!
ReplyDeleteWell, was going to walk this morning, but I see it's raining. heavy sigh.
Well, hopefully we don't spend the entire day on these pictures because they're truly not worth it. The ones probably intended for a rag didn't work; Reese was on, but Jake clearly isn't. He blew those 2 clear out of the water. And so that leaves the "enjoying the music" ones, where there isn't any obligatory PDA.
I'm not sure why he's wearing the hoodie in some of them. No one else looks like they're chilly. These pictures remind me of, remember that Jack Johnson concert, what was it, early last year? I forget when that was. We had those couple of odd looking photos from that one? The PDA at this concert look exactly like the one at the JJ concert.
In most of them, Jake looks either absolutely miserable or else he's going on 2 hrs sleep. But not feeling sorry for him at all.
He put himself there, he needs to live the pain.
I don't find this event anything to spend much energy on. For one, they're both taking some flak for the constant coffee/shopping photo ops to the point where it's become a subject of ridicule/mockery. So, it's probable they at least share a common interest in music, thus can at least do this together. And two, these 2 are just horrible at trying to exhibit PDA. If one is putting on the face, the other one isn't. If they're both trying to get the shot, it's got the energy level of an 11 yr old dog snoozing during the day while its owner is at work.
I look at the calendar, see that it's been due, take a looksee, and then wonder why they even bothered.
Man, was it really 100 degrees? Hopefully, that temp was alot more moderate when these latest pics (thanks, Meg!!) were done. Boy, this was an all day obligation thing. Too bad. I'm sure they both were thinking of other things they'd rather be doing as evidenced by the daydreaming-100 miles-away-looks on both their faces.
From local news, The Desert Sun on M.I.A.'s set: "The Grammy nominated rapper electrified the star-studded crowd — which included Paris Hilton, Drew Barrymore, Jake Gyllenhaal — with her hit “Paper Planes.”
ReplyDeleteInteresting that they didn't mention Reese Witherspoon ("Oscar winner, highest paid" blah blah LOL) and (so far) there's no pics of Reeke at the M.I.A. concert. Could be the DS just put his name in there, or maybe he was with someone else?
Cameron Diaz: 9
ReplyDeleteDita Von Teese: 12
Reeke: 46
You know, I've heard of Jenny Lewis, but I thought she was an actress. I've never heard of her as a singer, I don't think. So she's an indie/folk music singer?
ReplyDeleteI am not familiar with that kind of music, so I'm pretty ignorant on that front, anyway.
Hey Special, flf, & ag, good morning to you all! Yeah, I'm up this early since my alarm went off. But...it's raining.
So you saw Kirsten in those pictures, Special? I missed it. Ooh, how awkward. Maybe her & Reese traded tips & stories.
All I can think about is 95 degrees, can't get past that. Sorry, I'm not game for that like alot of other people. Although I hear California's 95 degrees is alot different from Kansas'. But, still. 95 is 95. Sorry, but I'm going to be where there's the big AC going on, lol. And just reading where it did get down to the upper 50's last night, so hoodie forgiven, lol! Now, since the concert bracelets are on (granting entering/exiting from the grounds - hence the wardrobe change, at least on Reese's part. Jake's clothes must've been rather manly scented by this time, lol), I wanna see them both there today, too, when it is expected to reach 105 degrees.
Interesting news there, Local News. Now that's what I would've loved to have seen, though. Reese at a rap concert. lol.
I've never heard of M.I.A. Boy, am I out of it, I guess.
