PoPsicle

Oh I knew they were going to do something after grabbing Gemma for PoP but I never expected this.

What is it Mr. Bruckheimer?

Jake you don't have to call me Mr. Bruckheimer. You can call me sir. I kid.

What did they do? This? Is that what I think it is?

Yes is it. The beat us and we have a leak. (yelling into his Blackberry - Find the mole! Seal the leak!) They came out with the Daniel Craig Popsicle.

What does that have to do with ....

You see Jake we had been working with Disney to create the PoP PoPsicle, it was you as Prince Dastan in Popsicle form. We even had chocolate for your long locks.

What? Popsicle form of what?

You as Dastan. We used those pictures of you shirtless, punched into the computer and the have a half a Dastan to cool down .

Who would want that?

Well it tested well ... great with young women, soccer moms, ladies with hot flashes, and I have to admit it not to shabby numbers of men. It was projected to do well. Disney wants to cover all the angles.
But now with the Craigsicle out, we can't do anything like it. We have to scrap it. What am I going to do with 25 cases of PoPsicles now? Can't donate them they were not supposed to be seen until Comic Con. Damn it.

Don't worry Jer - I can take care of it.

You can?

(sending Bruck a message on the Blackberry)

(Looking at the address)
Hey, I didn't know she was filming in Wilmington.

She's not. (grinning)

mmmmm Jakey on a stick, now that's a mouthful

Stand Up said...

I noticed Wicked that in the video of your minister there were a lot of African-Americans behind him.

^^ Yes, there is plenty of support in the African American community for gay marraige. Here in DC. DC has a huge African American gay community, and some are very active in the Churches that denounce them.
SAD but True. But the Support is Here!
One of Special's OUT spotlight people (Kieth Boykin) used to live in DC. He was pretty active in gay rights and still is. A great guy.

Stand Up said...

should be Keith not Kieth

destiny said...

I find that Craig popsicle kind of scary looking.

Special K said...

Austin have Matt reshoot his picture except just add an finished popsicle stick and put color just in his lips. Provocative tease or just a bit too much?

Special K said...

Looks like Disney is giving a sneak peek to PoP, Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland", "Toy Story 3", the live action "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" and TRON ( they remade it?...good grief) at the first ever D23 expo, in Anaheim - Sept 10-13th, for ultimate Disney fans.

First ever D23 Expo to be the 'ultimate event' for Disney fans

Special K said...

More about the D23 Expo. Disney is giving the fan the ultimate Disney experience from all divisions of Disney and subsidiaries.

**D23 Expo**

**For fans who prefer Disney movies of a more recent vintage, there'll be an advance screening of the second home premiere in the "Disney Fairies" series, "Tinkerbell: Lost Treasure."

Jake and Anne said...

Posted on WDW

'Director Ed Zwick (The Last Samurai, Defiance) has tapped Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway to star in LOVE AND OTHER DRUGS. 20th Century Fox and New Regency are financing the film which will begin shooting on September 21st 2009. Scott Stuber, Edward Zwick, Marshall Herskovitz and Pieter Jan Brugge are producing the film. Charles Randolph wrote the screenplay which has been rewritten by Edward Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz. I've been able to confirm that this project is the former UNTITLED CHARLES RANDOLPH which was featured in the 2007's Black List. Here's the synopsis:“A humorous expose of the highly competitive and cutthroat world of pharmaceuticals, where salesmen schmooze doctors, nurses and hospitals to get them to use their brand of drugs.”'

Special K said...

After working in medicine - this would be really good. Could totally see Anne competing against Jake for business. Seriously - all the drug reps who came through my dept were handsome guys but never one never looked like Jake.

Knew someone who was writing something similar to this storyline.

Thanks Kate and WDW.

Anne H fan said...

Awesome news!!! Yeah, now you're back on track again, Jake (yes). And with the right co-star, too! I hope this is true and not a rumor.

IMDB Pro said...

Strange, this film is not listed on Zwick's page, and when I google it the only thing I see is WWD's post. Are we sure this isn't fanfic?

Elinor said...

Hello marvellous OMG fellows,

The sun has been kind with me since few days but alas no time to tan, I have to revise before. I only hope my memory will do the best work possible the D day. I have a "fake" exam Tuesday, to evaluate my nevel, the real exam being in three weeks.
I am starting to feel the stress,I hate that.
Thank God there is OMG and the fun post of Special K to change my mind!
Austin and Jake on stick, a reaaaaally good idea before going to sleep.


Talking about a "D day" , your president and first lady come this week end in Normandy for the second world war's commemorations, for sure I will be in front of my screen. There is no cure for my obama crush lol

But right now I am so so so glad to read the new above on the possibly reunion of Jake and Anne in a movie. I hope it's true, the story sounds so "crazy" in a good way a bit like Nailed. Everything I like!
Both in a comedy : the dream.

If you had read the post, IMDbPro... said...

... you would have seen that WDW says 'I can find no corrobarative source. TNMC and TNMC alone have announced this today'.

? said...

But the link at WDW isn't working and when I went directly to the site, I couldn't find the film.

I'll just ask her where she got the info on her blog.

WDW update said...

"Update: TMNC has now removed its post - hmmmm - although (at the moment) TMC's link to it on the Jake Gyllenhaal discussion board on ProIMDb is still there: 'by deadpooltnmc 3 hours ago (Wed Jun 3 2009 09:46:07) More details here: http://www.tnmc.org/Good-Movies-of-the-Future/brokeback-reunion.html' -

Make of that what you will - they had no source and made it up (posting links to their story on the Jake and Anne threads on IMDb) or they published prematurely? Time will tell."

sienna said...

here's something totally off topic to reeke, but i still thought it was interesting.

regarding tabs about how they make us see what they want us to see:

on page 58 of OK magazine there is a big picture of julia roberts in a bikini, smiling and looking perfect. they compliment her on her awesome ABS, of all things, which do look great.

however, that same picture can be seen in other mags and on the internet, unshopped, and she has no abs in sight, just a flabby belly with lots of stretchmarks.

why did OK go out of their way to make her look perfect and call attention to their work, while the real deal is much less appealing?

lane said...

Prairie Girl (June 2, 2009 9:56 PM): "Ted, you seem to have done a big 5K walk backwards from 1) the existance of Baby Tile and 2) the phoniness of TT and his fauxmance with ladybeard. Do you have the guts to 1) admit Baby Tile was as made up as the story Harold & the Big Purple Crayon and 2) that maybe, just maybe, you've been had & bought, thus your 2009 TT Drought and in fact, what can only be called a total withdrawal from the fighting lines."

Ted's answer: "Nope. They’re real."


Sorry I'm just catching up. My computer went gaga and not in a ladylike way and had to get it fixed. Anyway my 1st thought when I read this was m's. Ted is confirming that BT and the bearding/fauxmancing is real. No offense but how some of you got "2 BTs" out of it I'll never understand. There were 2 questions and neither included or had an intimation about 2 BTs.

Another point, "Nope." could be answering the question "Do you have the guts to 1) admit Baby Tile was as made up.." Maybe Ted doesn't have the guts?

destiny said...

Hi Sienna. Happy to see you're still around.

I hate that when magazines do all that retouching. It really gives women and society in general unrealistic expectations about what a woman should look like, especially one that is older and has had children. Unfortunately there are a lot of women magazine buyers who seem to eat this stuff up.

Regarding Ted, Nope, he hasn't taken a 5k walk back.

prairiegirl said...

I kind of think he has, although not that I'm objecting because I said on here for him to knock off all the TT mentions he was doing because they were just opinions and no sightings or any new news.
So, I wanted him to just stop talking about TT if he had nothing new to report.
I said he was taking a 5K walk back because when he has mentioned TT on there, they've been such blah & wimpy answers or comments that he shouldn't have even made them because it made him look like he was backing off of Reeke.

That's why I said that. And Lane, the reason I wondered about "they're" in regards to BT is because Ted had mentioned before hints that sounded like there could be 2 BT's now. So it wasn't just conjured up in my head.

I have to go get my oil changed now.

lane said...

Destiny (June 1, 2009 9:17 PM): "I've never heard of anyone who at the end of their life regretted that they didn't have more dollars in the bank."

Loved your whole posts Destiny and especially this.

My dad the psychologist says no matter if you're pretend, half pretend/half real or real, you will ALWAYS be disliked and criticized, so it's better to be all real. Being true to yourself saves a lot of time and regrets.

Poor Jake, being an actor means he LIKES to pretend he's someone else, which is pretty screwed up in the first place when you think about actors and what they do. But along with whole public image control, bearding adds another layer to the pretending. What a really fucked-up way to live.

Breaking news 5:23 PM

N.H. gov. signs gay marriage bill
Governor John Lynch has signed a bill legalizing gay marriage, making New Hampshire the sixth state to allow the practice. "Today is a victory for all the people in New Hampshire," Lynch said before signing the bill.

Rhode Island is the only New England State to left legalize same sex marriage

3+3 said...

Oh..the ring band under Jake's shirt that matches Austin's ring. That pic of Austin with a man's legs around his neck, Austin all sweaty like he had been partying. Places and countries like Spain that have gay marriage, do any of them have "confidential" marriages, ones where records are sealed? Because the 2 rings, the black and white pic of Austin and Legs, it all looks like a wedding celebration doesn't it, and if a gay marriage can be performed in a place where it can be legally kept confidential....there you go, the rings and why Ted said Goose can't just up and walk away. Because maybe while marriages can be confidential, divorces aren't.

California said...

What happened to our cutting-edge liberal image? Shit!

Special K said...

The closest place outside of the U.S. that has same sex marriage is Canada.

I don't know if marriages in Massachusetts can be kept confidential or not.

Clarity said...

"why did OK go out of their way to make her look perfect and call attention to their work, while the real deal is much less appealing?"

Because that's what they are paid to do Sienna. They create a visual illusion for their readers so ppl will buy their magazines. It really doesn't matter if its true or partially true. They will make it look the way they need to.

You'd be shocked at how much the media does this.

Florida Tom said...

Great news from New Hampshire.

Wicked said...

Does any place have secret marriages? I thought all marriages were a matter of public record. I thought that was the point- public acknowledgment of a couple's relationship.

Clarity said...

Okay..I'm actually getting chance to make some comments tonight. BTW..hello everybody!

It was so cool to see pics of Adam with his BF if that's who it was. Thanks to whoever posted about it. I thought they were cute together. It will be interesting to see if he actually comes out officially. He seems happy though which is cool by me.

The Spotlight on James Baldwin was exceptional Special. Thanks as always.

Please send a reminder for the movie club. Is it going to be Big Eden?

"Does any place have secret marriages?"

Yeah..that would pretty much defeat the point wouldn't it?

Special K said...

Reminders about June Movie Club.

It's a Summer Double Feature!

**June 12-13 The discussion is The Day After Tomorrow and an additional discussion discussing TDAT vs. Star Trek.**

**June 19-20 The LGTB movie discussion is Big Eden**

I hope people try to join us one for one of the Movie Clubs. And both would be even better!!

Special K said...

Well they may not be secret, but let's say Canada... where do you start to look? Its a big country, with a lot of small places.

Florida Tom said...

I was amazed to hear that Adam Lambert had signed a contract that said he would not come out during the American Idol competition. First of all I cant believe he signed it and secondly I cant believe its legal. How do companies like those who sponsor American Idol and apparently Disney get away with it. Someone should sue them. It is just unbelievable that these contracts are written and that anyone would sign one. Can anyone imagine their employer having you sign such a thing before taken a job.

Florida Tom said...

^Taking a job

3+3 said...

Not "secret" as much as confidential records of a marriage, and it is not an outlandish premise IMO. Especially in countries like Spain where nearby regimes might not be so gay friendly, and the point of a civil marriage is civil things like taxes, legalities and government benefits. Also different municipalities in a country could have different degrees of confidentiality according to their charter. Doesn't have to be Canada where Jaustin is known, could be a country farther away without many fans in town. How many fan pics, blog sightings or twitters did we get out of Brandisi? Uh huh. So with a resourceful assistant or I bet even someone like MKFrost, research on if/where a confidential marriage can take place can be done, and if it was found then with price-is-not-an-object, it was performed IMO.

Toothy Q&As on Ted's new Bitch Back.

Q and A said...

Dear Ted:
Has the Toothy Tile creature convinced himself that he is straight? Your response to a question in an earlier post said that the "she" in his life has convinced herself he's different for her, which leads me to think that maybe he has succeeded in being different or at least wants to be? Or is he just a ticking time bomb about to implode?
—JSC

Dear Toothy Politics:
I thought publicity-craving, love-life-distorting, emotionally cruel egomaniacs exploded? Preferably within the confines of the Awful Truth! Regardless, yes, Toothy and his woman and most of their insipid retinue are fooling themselves increasingly on an hourly basis.

Q and A said...

Dear Ted:
Does Toothy Twitter?
—Sinead

Dear Tech-Savvy:
I don't Twitter with him.

Florida Tom said...

So was that a yes or a no answer from Ted on has Toothy convinced himself he is straight. I really dont think Ted is sure anymore. His answers are so vague. Or was the answer yes reeke is about to implode.

This answer is very similiar to the way he answered PR. She asked qustions and we werent sure which he was answering.

huh? said...

When did Ted answer PR (public relations)?

Special K said...

I think Ted is saying is that they and their people are continuing to fool themselves that they are seen as a couple by most of general public. But I'm maybe wrong, because you are right Tom, he really didn't answer the question directly.

Interesting thoughts 3+3. They have made an investment in having a family, so you could conclude they could as much for marriage

djkfharfgaeoirf said...

"She asked qustions and we werent sure which he was answering."

No, prairie girl asked 2 questions, in the latter half of her letter. The first 2 points, in the beginning, looked like questions, but were not. They were her comments leading up to the 2 questions.

And I thought Ted was hard to read.

m said...

Has everyone seen Ted's latest. Toothy is basically delusional. "I thought publicity-craving, love-life-distorting, emotionally cruel egomaniacs exploded? Preferably within the confines of the Awful Truth! Regardless, yes, Toothy and his woman and most of their insipid retinue are fooling themselves increasingly on an hourly basis".

This kind of reminds me of my hairdresser. Got his girlfriend pregnant in high school, married and had a daughter. He told me he tried, really tried hard to make it work. But at some point he just couldn't reign it in any longer. He came out and is the epitome of the fey hairdresser. Proud of it too. At some point Toothy is going to melt down big time.

hang out said...

Well if Ted thinks Jake is convinced he's straight, maybe he didn't see the JG Francis account.

lane said...

"He told me he tried, really tried hard to make it work. But at some point he just couldn't reign it in any longer."

Anyone see the movie Far From Heaven? Your remark m reminds me of the husband.

Btw if Jake thinks he's happy and in love with Reese, my God, has he seen pics of himself when he's with her? He's the poster boy for celibacy and joining the monks.

webster said...

publicity-craving, love-life-distorting, emotionally cruel egomaniacs

Ouch! What a spot of description of Reese.

And Jack, too.

Jack?

toothy's the real twit said...

I wish Ted would isolate all his Twitlight goss on separate posts. I'd comment about his Toothy question but with the hundreds of Twitlight "Is RP really kissing K for realsies?" tween rambles why bother, would he even see it?

Clarity said...

"Has the Toothy Tile creature convinced himself that he is straight?"

Hahaha...LMAO. I know its mean but I found that hilarious. The Creature from the Black Lagoon ran across my mind for some reason ; )

prairiegirl said...

What was so hard to read about my 2 questions? The first sentence I was picking on him for his wimpy, vague, useless comments lately and then the second one was my 2 questions.

Oops, started to go on a rant there and had to hit the ol' backwards key for awhile, lolll!

LOL, Lane. You couldn't be more right. I don't see how Jake could be disillusioning himself into thinking he's happy with her. I guess that opinion could always be wrong, but boy, if it's wrong, I need to go back to my eye doctor.

What a day. I'm not prepared at all to leave town!! One wonderful thing did fall right into my lap today, tho, and for that I am most grateful. I've been looking online this week for a haircut coupon to no avail. I'd just about given up, but lo & behold tonight in the mail, handed over by who might apparently be the new good looking neighbor boy across the hall, a mailing with a 6.99 haircut coupon from my local Great Clips!! Woohoo! And no waiting!! It doesn't get any better than that except now I itch like crazy.

I won't look like the Shaggy D.A. when I get up there, Special, lol.

Multi Tasking doing a load of laundry and baking some chocolate chip cookies for J., our evening whse supervisor. That guy, he's something else. I just love him to death, his wife is so lucky. He took down a big storage box that I had forgotten to ask if someone could take down to the warehouse for storage. Did it without asking. Then, he asked if I needed any bills of lading and I had to admit, I did, but hated to ask because B. is on vacation this week and those guys are so busy. He brought up 4 boxes (2 at a time, side by side - those things are heavy! I was really impressed) of bills and a case of copy paper, and unloaded it onto the shelf, even! Took that box downstairs and then also took down our paper recycle tub & emptied it.

What. A. Guy. I am baking him some cookies because he's a cookie monster. He'll grab a whole handful before he goes into a meeting. He loves cookies & Mountain Dew.

That was just the nicest thing. He is so nice.

My cookies are turning out too small, oh no. They look like mini bites. Hope the second tray turns out better.

I had seen that news about New Hampshire tonight on a screen scroll. That's great news! The New England states are on it.

Okay, I guess I have been under a HUGE misimpression all this time. Tell you why.

Did you guys see Forbes top 100 most powerful celebrities of 2009?
Angelina Jolie unseated Oprah. Boy, that is no easy feat; I have to admit I am greatly impressed.
Would you believe Reese is 71 out of 100? That even the Jonas Brothers are alot higher ranked than her. I admit I would've thought she'd have more ranking than that. Heck, Bruce Springsteen is in the top 10. That Jerry Bruckhamster is 53, I think.

destiny said...

I don't think J&A would take the risk of getting married somewhere. What they may have done is have a commitment ceremony, and then have contracts to deal with some of the things that you'd normally not have to worry about if you're married.

Glad to see Ted hitting a bit harder by telling Reeke and their people they are delusional. IMO this is a jab at the fact that they think because they can control old media--tabloids, tv entertainment shows, etc.--that they can fool all of the people. Also the fact that the over-the-top 24/7 nature of it has turned off people.

And totally agree about mixing TT in with Twilight posts. I have no patience for reading all those comments to see if anyone is talking about TT.

And finally, woo hoo. Six states down, 44 states and a district to go. :-D

destiny said...

Tom, I think all American Idol contestants have to sign contracts that require them to basically leave everything up to AI. What is probably different with Adam is that they didn't let him talk openly about being gay, unlike say Kris talking about his wife. I know they own your ass if you win, I don't know what happens if you finish lower, but I think they have the option to own your ass.

But to American Idol's credit, they took him on despite all those pictures out there of him, and Adam NEVER bearded or tried to really hide who he is. He just didn't say "I'm gay" and "this is my boyfriend". Now I know he still hasn't done that, but I think that's because they have a pr plan in place revolving around the Rolling Stone interview, and until then they probably want Adam to keep quiet so it'll have more impact.

And most unknowns are going to to do that to get a start.

Nobody sues because they know if they do they'll have trouble getting work in HW.

prairiegirl said...

I don't get this Twitter business, tho, Special. They're just these blurbs. No back up. No quotes. No references. No facts, no story. No names. No dates. No nothing. Just this spat out sentence. Okay, I guess I see this Production Weekly is what, a media forum? Is it like Variety?

I don't get the purpose of this stuff. It's like TV news scrolls in shorthand for people with short attention spans.

I suppose after that comment someone'll come up with a good putdown, Special, that you might have to remove, lol.
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.

Just like the stadium wave, someone wake me up when this fad has blown by.

Cookies are done and I have a little LJ catching up to do. I always get on here too late anymore to catch the east coasters. Tonight, I need to pack and then tomorrow, the search for Dramamine Non-Drowsy Formula must have success. There cannot be failure in that department.

Twitter, cellphones and computers are all fads?! said...

"Just like the stadium wave, someone wake me up when this fad has blown by."

Stadium waves have been going on for like 30 years.

LOL said...

Sorry PG, Dramamine was declared a fad and removed from all shelves today at 5:00 pm Eastern Time.

prairiegirl said...

Sorry, but the stadium wave is not cool. Not cool, lol, come on!
Okay, now since they wear socks with sandals and wear their hoods up all the time, I know Destiny & Special probably do the wave every time it comes around, dontcha ladies? lol Some people tried to start it at my last Royals game and luckily, it died out after a few times.
I'm a 'duckin' cause I'm a spoutin' off. I know I'm going to catch it from Dest & Special so bring it on! The wave is not cool!! It's just embarrassing, come on.

One more thought before I go now that I'm reading Destiny & Lane talking about all that Twilight stuff. I noticed, too, all those Twilight fans. That guy is causing a ruckus everywhere he goes. Between him and that Jon&Kate couple, there's hardly any room for any other celebrity in the tabloid news except for the ol' diehards, Jen, Brangelina, you know the rest.
Everything right now is that Pattinson and I don't know who that girl is he's rumored to be "with" or "courting", whatever. Or else it's Jon & Kate, that reality TV show couple. Or Octomom.

Next to all these new upstarts, Jake & Reese are looking a little long in the tooth already. I don't mean that in a mean way, I just mean that all these new hot people have shoved them to the back burner and I never thought I'd see the day when Jake looked older, but after looking every day at no one else but Kris Allen, Pattinson, Chace Crawford, and the like, man, Jakey not looking so young & hot anymore. At least not with Reese in tow.

But, that's the way Hollywood is. There's always, always going to be someone newer. Someone younger. Someone hotter. What a tough, tough environment to work in. I wouldn't have even made it to the neighborhood, let alone make it up the sidewalk, to the front step, or even made it inside.

m said...

I don't understand the Pattison fascination either. I mentioned a few days or so ago it's the best thing Toothy's PR could have hoped for. After all their Jake is straight efforts, all it took was the new hot thing to take the focus off Toothy. I stopped reading the AT comments too. Who has the patience to wade through 500+ comments. Even when Ted does just mention Toothy, it drifts to Pattison anyway.

*vomit* said...

I have my ways, lol.

LOL said...

Watch, Reese will buy the old MV Mom & Pop home for a wedding gift to Jake.

Matilda said...

Yeah! Maybe my godfather has come to visit me!

prairiegirl said...

I agree, m. I think Jake beats Pattinson, Chace, Ed Westwick (or whatever his name is), et. al. ten times over in the appeal department, but only in his pre-Reeke days. That's only my opinion, anyway.

But, I ask, where are all those nice clothes he used to wear in some of those pap shots several years ago? Those form fitting black jeans, the light colored chino slacks, that see through black shirt number? The nice button down shirts? What do we get now? Big, ol' baggy athletic shorts, baggy T shirts & pullovers, socks with flip flops, and jeans, jeans, jeans. Love jeans, but come on! How 'bout some form fitting Levi's?

When are guys going to get this through their heads? Just like they like to see the girls in certain kinds of clothes, well the girls like to see some kind of outline of a male body. We can't see anything in homey court shorts that hit the calf, big ol' T shirts that hang past their hips, and sagging, droopy pants that they have to hoist up with every step.
What is the appeal in any of that, I ask? It's like trying to see through a Coleman Tent. It's time for the female species to unite & raise a fuss. We like to look, too, darnit!

LOL, where in the heck am I going with this?? I don't know. I'm getting delirious.
It's just a thought I always get when I see these guys in these baggy, saggy, droopy clothes. It drives me absolutely nuts to see that and then see the girl all dressed up. What in the heck?!!!

Special K said...

It's June, and reminded me of something TR said. Reese's three month block (March - May) with Ava and Deacon are up and they're back with Ryan. I wondered about that when there were pictures with the kids over the weekend. But it does make sense Ryan was away filming and promotion, and now she will be filming.

implode/explode said...

Ted said: "Regardless, yes, Toothy and his woman and most of their insipid retinue are fooling themselves increasingly on an hourly basis."

Odd that he didn't say "Toothy and his beard". It also sounds like Ted is saying that Jake and Reese think that they really are a couple (having sex, or maybe not), and that most, but not all, of their handlers believe it too. But I do like the dig about Jake being egomaniacal, etc.

Reeke Weekly, Peehole, Oy Vey! said...

"and now she will be filming."

With a Reeke PR photo op in NYC of them dining at the Waverly and shopping at all the right places to kick it off, "Jake treats Reese to a mini-vacation before she starts working on her next upcoming blockbuster Oscar-winning movie!"

Even though it is James L. Brooks directing, I don't know if a romcom love triangle movie (even if Jack Nicholson is rumor to be coming on board) will have a lot of sway with Academy members. But I guess you never know anymore with HW.

prairiegirl said...

LOL, not that Jake was dressing for the female species when he was looking like that. That was back when he was trying to impress the other side of the fence. Ahhh, for the ol' glory days, eh?

My rant was mainly about the hetero bunch of guys these days. It just drives me nuts.

Well, I've got to turn in. Need to find something to put these cookies in so J. doesn't have to wash a dish because I know he would.

And whoever is in the know about Reeke, I won't be surprised. It's been awful quiet lately. And now that Austin is back home, Jake is freed up again to go gallavantin' with No. 71.

This would be the main reason why I really don't want Ted to be right about BT. Because much as it could have been a great story, it can't be. Not with the way he & Austin keep splitting up all the time, which would be leaving one parent with the kids and the other one gone. All. The. Stinkin'. Time.

It just blows my mind. I mean, think about it. Sure, I thought why shouldn't Austin go to Italy on his own? Jake has done the Reeke tour several times over this past year, around the globe, just like Wide World of Sports. So, why shouldn't Austin get to go see the sites?

Hmm. Gee. Well, maybe because there's a child (or 2) at home? I mean, what in the heck? Let's see, you & your partner have been apart for a better part of 2009 so far, and so you would think that you'd take every opportunity you could to remain as a unit when the opportunity is there.

But no, there's traveling to do. Leave the baby or toddler home with the other parent; heck, he's at home right now. It's his turn, now. Oh, wait! He does have a Laker basketball game to go to. Will need a babysitter that night. Oh, and need to leave for awhile to do that photo op at the softball field with No. 71 because that's for US Reekly. Will need someone to watch the kid then, too.

This. This is what bothers the heck out of me. Okay, it's a different deal when one or both dads have to film. Earn money.
But this is break time. Neither parent is "working" right now.
But what happens? One leaves the country to go vacation and the other still goes out bach'ing and who's with the child? A nanny. Relative. Babysitter.

I just have a huge problem with this. And that's why I hope there is no BT. Not because I don't think it could've been a beautiful story.

It would be a beautiful story. If both guys were out. If they could be open & take the child wherever, in front of whoever, doing whatever. If they were living together full time as a family.

But that's not the way it's going. Not as I see it, anyway, at this moment. The day Jake went walking down that sidewalk with Deacon a couple weeks ago was the day I really, seriously doubted the existance of BT. And when I started to think about Austin being in Italy. For how long? Who leaves their little baby or toddler behind to go "chasing skirts" for how long? And even as fabricated fiction on a blog, why would you even insinuate you're out doing this when you leave a baby behind? Why wouldn't you all go vacay together as a family because heaven knows, one's been in NC for how many months while the other one's been in Morocco, Italy, London, Paris, Rome, Spain, and heaven knows where else for the past how many months?!

Okay, I gotta stop because I'm working myself up into a lather. But when you really sit & think about it, it's just not good.

But then, I think I was in a real minority anyways, believing that a BT was a real possibility.

Okay, whew, am I going to be sleepy tomorrow. Boy, get on here & get off subject & look what happens. lol.
Get all carried away.
Alright, well, that's out of my system now and off to my own dreamland. We'll see what there is to see in the morning, Lord willing. Everyone have some sweet dreams and have a great day at work tomorrow!

Reeke Weekly, Peehole, Oy Vey! said...

Or maybe this is the big Reeke Proposal Week! It's already been partially set up by Austin declaring his love and lust for women, and Ted saying TT and company is so delusional that they all think he's straight. So a Reeke engagement is no surprise. It will be the talk of the town all thru the summer, then problems will erupt by fall, they'll try to work it out over the holidays, things will look optimistic thru winter and early spring but then voila, Reese will call it off in April/May because of their differences in future plans: Jake wants children, Reese feels she's already been there and is complete with having her 2 already. So sad. Then Jake will pass into being papped alone, maybe sometimes with his buddy Austin trying to get him back into picking up chicks, the two heteros whoring around, too hurt by women and vowing to remain confirmed bachelors. And of course darling Reese will always be the sainted unrequited love.

Shit I should write scripts.

Some of these young eye candy you mentioned are as bland as it gets. Jake was devastatingly hot in his up-to-BBM days. After that I think he can still be, but he makes the choice not to. The pairing with a bore like Reese is a total turn off. In comparison, Kirsten was way better. She might not be the prettiest girl, but she has character. I just don't see what he finds interesting in her. Wait, nothing, since it is just for PR he does not have to.

PG - I know it sounds crazy, but kids can travel. Not easy to do, but with 2 assistants and family and who else knows who's on staff, and the way Jake was so particular about housing and security, for both Nailed and PoP. And look at the remote secluded fortress of privacy of a hotel that Jake was staying in at in Morocco, and if you are the star, you can have all nine suites for you and anyone else you want to have as part of your private group. And we also know that Jake did "sneak" back to NY for a weekend. Was the first time isn't the last.

And hey they are a two parent working family. Notice Jake is off this summer until filming starts in Sept. for the new movie with Anne, while Austin films in NC July - till probably the time Jake starts filming and then they only will overlap a few weeks when they are both filming. Same as the thing last spring Austin wasn't working when Jake did Nailed, and it was only because of delays that they overlapped when Austin did Prayers for Bobby. Then Austin was pretty much off until fall while Jake was in Morocco. Who says they weren't together for parts of both of those filmings.

And people travel - just because you don't see them back in LA or NY doesn't mean they are on location on the set. It is not uncommon for people to commute for work, or have to travel for business. Heck my brother flies to Dallas on Monday and flies home to KC on Friday everyweek. Know people who commute from Boston to NY or DC weekly but live up here. There are flight crews, business people all kind of people who do weekly business meetings and crazy commutes who work with their partners and spouses to find a balance to raising kids.

Doesn't seem that Austin would have a problem hopping a plane when he is done shooting OTH, since he did that all last season. And I think they both to to the other and also make time for them to time together and as a family. Yes it is expensive and it takes a lot of planning and it's not easy, but they both know that and they are trying find the best way for them to do this.

And if it is a Reeke weekend in NY, welll to me usually means its buying time for Jake for a few weeks, and he and Austin and family can be together until Austin starts filming in July in Wilmington.

i totally agree with this snippet of what Prariegirl said:

Next to all these new upstarts, Jake & Reese are looking a little long in the tooth already. I don't mean that in a mean way, I just mean that all these new hot people have shoved them to the back burner and I never thought I'd see the day when Jake looked older, but after looking every day at no one else but Kris Allen, Pattinson, Chace Crawford, and the like, man, Jakey not looking so young & hot anymore. At least not with Reese in tow.


Jake and Reese were boring when they were knew and interesting. Now, they look like an old married couple who can't wait to check the Together Box and then go do what they really want to do, which never involves their sig other. He is the perfect picture of henpecked misery! go jake go.

LOL said...

OT but I laughed out loud when I read Ent Lawyer's opening line to his latest BI: "I hate giving out pet names to people in the blind items because the next thing you know I will be writing like Ted Casablanca and getting my four remaining hairs bleached."

"Jake was devastatingly hot in his up-to-BBM days. After that I think he can still be, but he makes the choice not to. The pairing with a bore like Reese is a total turn off."

Maybe Jake welcomes being pushed out by the Twilight guys and lessening his popularity on fan boards. For example, look at the current maybe 20 measly posts in IHJ compared to the hundreds and hundreds they used to get each week. Done to turn the giddy fans off, because he wants to be a "serious actor." Kind of like how Tom Cruise migrated from Top Gun to Born on the Fourth of July.

Who knows but it could be one of the reasons for his bearding, to discourage those fans obsessed with his personal life and looks and to get a new "adult" audience that appreciates him for his work.

The problems with this theory are, Jake hasn't changed his looks for the worse in his personal life or for a role AND it's not as though he's getting any serious roles. Reeke withstanding he still seems to like attention. Maybe the lack of hotness has more to do with hopelessness, of being stuck in a bad situation and not feeling good about himself.

OT LOL said...

L.A.'s really a remarkable place. If you go on TV, in almost any capacity, the mayor will immediately date you.

OT. I don't think you have to be from LA or be a basketball fan to appreciate this. I wanted to add a few more things like, look what LA has done for bearding.

london tb said...

I like PG's rant :)

And I like the Reeke theory, though it has to continue until PoP.

Dunno what to think about BT but seems as likely as not - they have staff who can do all the practical things and don't necessarily have to be near any photo opp.

Telling A Gay Man's Age by His Trips to Wal Mart.

You are in the middle of some kind of project around the house mowing the lawn, putting a new fence in, painting the living room, or whatever. You are hot and sweaty, covered in dirt or paint. You have your old work clothes on. You know the outfit - shorts with the hole in crotch, old T-shirt with a stain from who knows what, and an old pair of tennis shoes. Right in the middle of this great home improvement project you realize you need to run to Wal-Mart to get something to help complete the job.

Depending on your age you might do the following:

In your 20's:
Stop what you are doing. Shave, touchup the manscaping, take a shower, blow dry your hair, brush your teeth, floss, and put on clean clothes. Check yourself in the mirror and flex. Add a dab of your favorite cologne because you never know, you just might meet a hot, hung and horny studly stallion while standing in the checkout lane. And you went to school with the cute twink running the register.

In your 30's:
Stop what you are doing, put on clean shorts and shirt. Change shoes. You married a hot stud so no need for much else. Wash your hands and comb your hair. Check yourself in the mirror. Still got it. Add a shot of your favorite cologne to cover the smell. The big bottom running the register is the kid brother to someone straight you went to school with.

In your 40's:
Stop what you are doing. Put on a sweatshirt that is long enough to cover the hole in the crotch of your shorts. Put on different shoes and a hat. Wash your hands. Your bottle of Obsession Cologne is almost empty so you don't want to waste any of it on a trip to WalMart. Check yourself in the mirror and do more sucking in than flexing. The young hungry boytoy slut running the register is your godson nephew's age and you feel weird thinking how slutty he could get.

In your 50's:
Stop what you are doing. Put a hat on, wipe the dirt off your hands onto your shirt. Change shoes because you don't want to get dirt in your new sports car. Check yourself in the mirror and you swear not to wear that shirt anymore because it makes you look fat. The fairy running the register smiles when he sees you and you think you still have it. Then you remember the hat you have on is from Buddy's Bait & Beer Bar and it says, 'I Got Worms'

In your 60's:
Stop what you are doing. No need for a hat anymore. Hose the dog crap off your shoes. The mirror was shattered when you were in your 50's. You hope you have underwear on so nothing grey, wrinkled, shrunken or dried up hangs out the hole in your pants. The boy running the register might be cute, but you don't have your glasses on so you are not sure if he's cute or even if it's a boy.

In your 70's:
Stop what you are doing. Wait to go to Wal-Mart until they have your Cialis and prostate prescriptions ready, along with your favorite enema in stock. Don't even notice the dog crap on your shoes. The young swishy thing at the register smiles at you because you remind him of Ian McKellan.

In your 80's:
Stop what you are doing. Start again. Then stop again. Now you remember you needed to go to Wal-Mart. Go to Wal-Mart and wander around trying to think what it is you are looking for. You fart out loud and think someone cute called out your name. You went to school with the old asexual gelded geezer who greeted you at the front door.
