What summer without summer camp?
Today's Out Spotlight is 'Camp' Camp.
Cabins, sports, arts & crafts, talent shows, dances, and the great outdoors all the things are a part of sleep away camp. But this is not the sleep away camp you went to when you were 11. This is 'Camp' Camp. Summer camp for GLBT adults
Nestled in the southwestern Maine woods, 'Camp'Camp takes over a teen sleep away campsite for one week in August to camp it up.
'Camp' Camp was founded in 1996 by Bill Cole, who, after coming out, began searching for a place to fit in the gay community. Cole was always been involved with camping, decided to open a week long camp for GLBT campers who felt like he did. “It was brave,” Co-Director Susan Clinkenbeard says of Cole’s decision. “I think things have changed, but I think camping is still an area where homophobia exists,” which is one reason Clinkenbeard and her co-director Kerry Riffle don't disclose of 'Camp' Camp’s location for security reasons.
What's camp without cabins, (named after out celebs such as Greg Louganis, Ellen Degeneres or Barney Frank for example) and bunks for 5-20 campers. While the cabins and bunks classic camp, the food isn't, no bug juice, Jell-O, or mystery meet. 'Camp' Camp replaces the scary camp cook with a camp chef for the week.
What's there to do at 'Camp' Camp? There's a theater for performing, tennis, basketball, beach volleyball, pottery, stained glass and other art and crafts classes, wall climbing, softball and other sports, swimming and sailing in the lake and beaches to soak up the Sun. 'Camp' Camp has a Tea Dance & Pajama Par-tay, a Talent/No Talent Show, a Barn Dance, Gay Gaymes and and 'Camp' Camp's Dance Dance closing night.
Who are the campers? They are about 200 men and women, from 18 to their 70s. who come from primarily the Northeastern U.S. (mostly from the Boston and New York City) as well as Florida, California, Michigan, Georgia, Iowa, Ohio, Canada and Great Britain.
More than 70% of people who go to Camp return for another year – or two or three or more. More than 20% of the 2006 Campers in were attending for their fifth, sixth, or seventh year of camp.
One thing 'Camp' Camp differs from summer camp is you don't have to sneak the beer or wine. It is served at Camp's Tea Dance and other social events, but don't think it is an entire week of drinking in the woods. Cole had originally created Camp as an alternative to alcohol and sex-focused bars and clubs, somewhere where people could enjoy a different kind of environment than the typical, and emphasis more on the fun and friendships, the club scene.
Another thing that's just like summer camp, while you don't have to put your name in your clothes but you can't bring portable radios, Ipods, large amounts of cash, or valu
able watches or jewelry, drugs or weapons with you. And the Blackberry and cell phone? Good luck trying to get a signal in the Maine woods.
'Camp' Camp has grown into a community of people – people who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, or somewhere in between, who enjoying the best part of summer, camp.
This year's 'Camp' Camp is August 23- 30th.

Awesome post! The Camp Camp sounds wonderful. Here's to OMG for their boundless creativity.
Have a great Sunday! :)
All I have to say is this. If reeke is not real then it is the most long lasting elaborate BS I have ever seen. These two people are extremely crazy if they are not a real couple. Why would they waste this time and energy. Until I see different I am now offically a reeke believer. Either they are a real couple or Jake has given up almost three years of his life to establish himself as a heterosexual. I have now decided to grant him his wish. Jake yes you are straight. Here is the finger to you bud. Good Luck with PoP. Your gonna need it.
Jake and Austin had an affair but it is now over. There is no BT. Ted lied.
my diaper needs changing
These two people have tons of free time and publicity brings them millions of dollars.
Sort of with you on this one Tom. Anyone think that the reason Austin is looking so good recently is because he's finally disentangled himself from Jake and all the weirdness that comes with wanting to be the big a-list star and is just enjoying his life.
Maybe not the most popular theory, but sort of makes sense to me.
Weirdness?!
Life in the closet is never fun.
I am just about in agreement with
Tom. I do think though that Jake
and Austin have remained friends
and do see each other once in awhile. I will not be surprised if
Jake/Reese marry and I also will not be surprised if the next thing
we hear that Austin/Sophia are now
dating. I do hope that POP does okay at the box office. They surely
are putting a ton of money in promoting it. Just be glad that
your health is good-to have pretty
good health is a blessing. I feel
like the Toothy Tile story has come
to the end, don't you all? Please
have a good week ahead everyone
and try to stay under the air
conditioning.
I feel like the Toothy Tile story has come to the end, don't you all?
Of course not, Jake is still gay and bearding.
I agree Kacie. The Toothy Tile Saga has come to an end. The only hope we have of ever seeing the Jake we once knew is that PoP is a huge failure.
Jake is a weak human being and has no mind of his own. His life is bring ran by strong willed nasty women including his own mother who have deballed him to the the fullest. Hopefully if PoP fails he will get the help he needs and breaks away to become a man. I think Maggie is the only one in the G family who is halfway normal.
Yea I think Austin has gotten away from the whole mess and looks happier. Not sure what his plans are though. He also wants to be seen as strictly heterosexual and I am not sure how far he will go to achieve that goal. Probably depends on the direction of his career. I think him and Sophia are great friends.
If women like Mrs. G, Evelyn, and reese are happy that they have used this weak soul to help their own finances then shame on them. Yes Jake makes his own decisions but I believe he is very much still a child. His antics during reeke have proved it.
How is this any different from them being on Martha's Vineyard in 2007 or the summer trip to Europe in 2008? Remember there is real and Hollywood's version of "real". The Hwood version can go on for a long time but it doesn't make it any realer. Whoever signed up Reese's kids for that race spelled their last name wrong? New nanny? LOL.
i've had that thought too Meg. Austin is looking happier, more relaxed and more confident than ever, even for a boy who often looks pretty content. But it could be something else, e.g., how well his career is going and not having to worry about finding work.
It's nice that there is a summer camp like this. Not sure I'd want to do something like that, never been to camp and never really had a desire to go to camp. And no cell, blackberry or ipod!
Summer 2008 - the only difference is that Jake was working and the beard traveled to "support" Jake and PoP.
It's only fair that Jake returns the favour, LOL.
Sorry people will be annoyed with me saying this. But you are doing exactly what they want you to do. Give up and believe that they have broken up and Reeke is real.
Why do you think the push is on so much? Do you think its just about Jake? Or Reese? No its about Austin too. He is starting as a regular on a national series. If those voices who think he is with Jake need to be quieted down too.
Jake and Austin both know this.
Sorry not buying it and never will.
Funny how Reese was out to dinner with Paul Rudd without Jake on Friday on the day that Jake was seen in MV.
Maybe the kids are up in MV with their nanny and seeing their friends. It doesn't mean that Jake is taking care of them. But Jake might be seeing them, but not responsible for them.
Believe what you want. Still not going to buy the crap that PR is selling. Because that's what they want you to do. They want you to get mad and angry enough to do to believe.
I went to the American Idol concert last night in Newark, N.J. I got there in time to see the top 4, I didn't think I'd want to hear all of the runner-ups since most of them do music that does not interest me. Well, I had a blast, and I think I can finally see the appeal of AI.
The crowd was mostly women, mostly girls and moms, but I did see a few gay men, middle-aged couples, some boys. The crowd cheered on everyone very enthusiastically, but nothing like they did for Adam.
The minute he came on everyone came to their feet, and the screaming, and I could just feel the outpouring of emotions that was not there for the other performers.
And Adam was amazing.
And when he did those pelvic thrusts, or took off his jacket to reveal just a vest and bare arms, the crowd went wild.
I'll admit it, I even screamed myself, I couldn't believe it, I don't think I have ever done that, even as teenager.
It was just so fucking amazing to see something people insisted would never happen: An arena of 15,000 people, mostly fangirls, reacting to an openly gay man--and one who is out there strutting his stuff/sex appeal--with love, lust, screams, adoration to an openly gay man.
ARE YOU LISTENING HW?
I do hope people don't get so caught up that they miss this post about Camp Camp. It is a really cool idea and they look like they have tons of fun.
Reese and the kids are already back in Philly so they probably spent 36 hours on MV.
Funny how Reese was out to dinner with Paul Rudd without Jake on Friday on the day that Jake was seen in MV.
That dinner without Jake was on Thursday.
Nanny takes care of the kids, as during last year's summer reeking, as always.
I don't think saying you have doubts about J&A means you think Reeke is real.
I don't think Austin needs Jake to beard for him. I honestly don't think people care as much in television. Austin had an extended, prominent role in the last season of OTH, I don't think becoming a regular changes anything.
Wenty was basically outed by Perez, has been hounded by gay rumors, and yet did not resort to a beard, and he worked for Fox, arguably the most conservative network. And that was a show with a lot of male viewers, and women who were watching for the hot men, so I don't it is any different. If anything, a show like OTH draws the same demographics you get for American Idol and Adam Lambert.
If Jake beards Austin doesn't have to. And that has been ONE of the reasons he has, and now it seems more important than before.
OTH has One million Facebook friends they have some of the most devoted for such a little show. And if you looked on the board you would see that the fans want him to date Sophia or they are saying he's a player with lots of girls.
OTH got rid of two of their most favorite cast members and are trying reinvent their show. With Julian and Brooke a major theme. Noooooo they don't want Austin being the dream date and have the fans believe that he might be more than friends with Sophia in real life. That would just mean better ratings. Who would want that?

The same holds true for Rufus Destiny. When I went to see him in Philly the sold out concert looked to be filled with straight women who adore him. He actually has fan groups of straight women who follow him everywhere.
Spesh. Jake and his harem of hags dont give a hoot about what 20 people on 2 blogs care. Yeah they care about D Listed and Perez and Just Jared and E Online but not about us. I know that the PR camps do monitior OMG. I am also almost certain that Austin monitiors OMG. Spesh enough is enough. Jake wants to be seen as heterosexual to the public and he has acheived that. I just now see Jake as a desperate, lost and manipulated soul who whole life has been about being a movie star. He cant let go and Mom wont let him. Jake was happy when he was dating Austin. That is obvious. He is not as happy with reese. That is obvious. But he is with her. The only hope we have have is that PoP is a complete disaster and this man will snap out of it and get help. Until then Mom and reese will control his life. If I believed the oppositte and thought that PoP had the potential of being A Pirates of the Carribean I would think that he then wouldnt need his harem of hags and grow up but that aint gonna happen. PoP will make some Memorial Day money and then flop. That is my prediction.
This is ridiculous. Bringing the entire kit and kaboodle down to Chilimark for a road race and then back to Philly? I don't believe it. Do we really have any proof anyone was actually there but Jake?
150 mill budget PoP producers know Jake is gay.
By bearding with Reese Witherspoon Jake guarantees them that he won't be coming out any time soon.
Small Hollywood price for an A-list and franchise chance.
Tom believe what you want but I will believe what I want.
And there are more than 20 people on 2 blogs who think so about Jake and Austin.
And why is PR pushing so hard for just two little blogs? Because it is bigger than that and they know it.
I also know that this week will be the start of our third year of OMG and that is really annoying for a lot of people.
Maybe they whole Reeke clan came up to MV for the day to create a diversion for other people to get on the island. Like someones Bubbe G wants to see. (small and little) Did you ever think that?
Need to have people looking over here while what is really happening is over there.
There was just a tweet from someone on the Vineyard asking Jake was on the Vineyard that thought they just saw him driving by.
Tweet
BS you can see reese and the kids in the pic.
I dont for a minute believe Jake loves reese but they are together. reeke for him is a mindset that he has become addicted to as it has evolved. He became angry when folks made fun of it. He gave the finger to peole who wouldnt believe it. I have no doubt that Mom is running the show even has the power over reese. We saw reeses ass running after the screening of Brothers.
The final thing for me would be a pic of reese at Maggies wedding. Was she the blonde in the courtyard? Like PG I would love to know who attended that wedding. They wanted us to think reese was there. They wanted us to think Austin wasnt. Maggie aint playing the game. Good for her. I think if they used her wedding to promote this relationship there would be a price to pay.
Alright, alright, alright!! What in the heck is going on here???
Now wait a doggone second - like smiley said, what is different about this MV mention as last year? Or was it the year before? LOL! These years are starting to blend together. I forget what year was what.
I don't care when Reese was out with Paul Rudd, I don't care when Jake was racing. I don't care when the kids were supposedly on the island. I don't care when Reese got back on the ferry and headed back for Philly with her brood.
Where are the pics? Where is the proof? We had pics before of Reese and her kids on MV and that was just as unconvincing of proof of a Reeke rendezvous as this year's visit. I see alot of smoke and alot of blowing, but I am not seeing a good campfire. I'm not even seeing a flicker of a flame.
I'm not leaping off any dock until I have me some good old 4 x 6's.
Which reminds me. I'm STILL waiting on those wedding pics, PR. My wine's gotten sour, my cheese has got a good couple of inches of mold growing on it, and I've got chaise lounge webbing imprints permanently etched into the back of my legs, but I'm still waiting it out. I'm still waiting on those, too, didn't want you to forget.
The dark room is going to get a real backlog going on pretty soon if you don't get a move on.
Poor Sk, still grasping for straws? I used to post here, I won't say who I am. Love how you chery pick your tweets.
No diversion needed on MV SK as you well know. It seems to me that Jake went to MV for the race and Reese and the kids went there for support. Sounds like Reese needed to be back in Philly for filming, so she and the kids returned as you saw the Reese twets. Jake has family and friends on MV and is not filming so he probably will stay a bit to visit.
I can't believe you actually believe there is a baby.
For someone that hates tweets and thinks that they are nothing but PR , you sure seem to track them 24/7.
Curious to know why Jake and her kids listed NY as their place of residence, I can see Naomi. Most likely Reese didn't participate because she has to film today.
I dont for a minute believe Jake loves reese but they are together.
Nah, they aren't together, they never were together.
Where are the pics? I saw one with Jake in it, that's all. They are pushing Family Man persona for a reason - and he isn't their real father, never will be. Did Reese run in the race? Interesting that there was no finishing time for her.
Sorry I have never at anytime said that I hate tweets.
I am realistic about twittering. There are some that are legit, some are people looking for attention for themselves and others that are used for PR.
Make sure you get your facts right before saying that I said something I never said.
It seems to me that Jake went to MV for the race and Reese and the kids went there for support.
LOL!
Reese went there for PR, she's selling "we are a real couple" as always, and she has nothing better to do with her time.
Reese is soooooooo supportive!
Remember when Reese brought paparazzi to Morocco desert? What a woman! LMAO
Jack, you managed to spell Chilimark correctly today, yesterday you spelled it wrong. Don't try to pretend who you are. You are so obvious. This is all more PR to me, I admit for a time I waivered, but never truly gave up on J&A. This to me sounds fishy, to look like Reese and her brood are firmly entrenched in the Gyllenhaal clan. Not buying it.
Gyllenhaal clan couldn't ask the beard to stay away, that race on Saturday was too good opportunity for reeking.
Special has never said she hates Tweets. Get your facts straight, chillmark.
Guys, there is a real serious attempt going on right now, I'm telling you, to do OMG in. I don't care who is throwing in the towel right now or what they want to put up in comments.
I want PR to know that I'm not one of them. In fact, the more we see Gerber Carrots like this MV PR stunt, the more I am entrenching myself in the belief that there is a real Push going on right now, just like Special says.
PR, you can set Jake, Reese, Mrs. G, and the kids up on the knees of the Lincoln Memorial, you have screwed this up already. It's too late. You messed this whole deal up by not doing all of this 2-3 stinkin' years ago when you were planting all of those People Magazine, Star Magazine, US Reekely, Elle, & Vogue bullcrap going on and bragging about how close this little foursome was but were too stupid to follow up with pictorial proof. So you have no backup until now. You know what? Big Mess Up on your part.
So you expect us all here to believe that this has been going on for the past 2 1/2-3 years but only now in the past 2 months are we getting the 4 x 6's to showcase your little stories.
Too little, too late. Damage is done. So go ahead and keep weaving, keep spinning, keep rehearsing, keep hitting the conference room table to come up with the next locale for With 6 You Get Eggroll. You can spin until you're dry.
I'm not buying it. That ship has long sailed.
Reese is actually working and she is today based on the tweets. Jake isn't working so he is the one that has nothing better else to do. Reese should do something better for PR since only a few Jake blogs and a few tweets place her there for the weekend and no pics. The on e pic of Jake you can barely see him.
Who outside of a few Jake blogs know that her kids and his mom ran, not much PR for her but for him, yes.
Now Tom is PR?? LOL, talk about paranoid!!!
Jake is using Reese and her kids, if it was the other way around he would be in TN, not MV.
Special's thing about using Reese and the kids to distract what's really going on. Maybe BT in MV now.
Reese should do something better for PR
Unfortunately, bland and dull Reese Witherspoon has nothing better to use for PR than Jake, his friends and family. Media wouldn't give a fuck about Reese without this fauxmance.
how can one "distract" if no one knows about the visit except for a few tacky Jake blogs? They would have made a bigger noise/splash. Not even the Boston papers mention the visit.
Even SK knows there is no BT, and all the sockpuppets and their fanfic ain't going to change that fact.
Tom's right: Ted lied and you know it.
^^^ But you are still here, aren't you? lol
Hello Babbler supreme. Gave yourself away with the Boston paper. Can't help yourself.
I find it really interesting, myself, that Jake is hiding in this one, and not only standing behind other people, but he's got the ol' head down. That last race, what was it, 2 years ago?, he was front & center with ol' Chris. I can only hope that it's still a sign that Jake has some kind of remnant, some single strand of thread, some kind of piece of lint of shame & integrity remaining over what this bearding has reduced him to.
Who is saying that Tom is PR? Certainly not me. Tom is a fellow blogger and certainly not a member of Team PR.
LOL, don't even go there trying to dispute the existance of PR monitoring this site. After a couple of years of them using OMG and WFT2 for Bearding 101 Tips & Corrections, we here have absolutely no doubt of their existance and lurking. No doubt.
You've got to wonder then why so much harassment to the members of a so-called "delusional" group of J&A fans. Why the big push, and the harassment then, trying to create doubt and dissention, divid and conquer, I think it's called. If we as so "out there", why not leave us to it, and go on with your own wonderfully full lives? You call us obsesses, but you obsess over the obsessors! Constantly here trying to bring OMG down, for the past three years at least. I applaud OMG for sticking with it. And no, we don't know that Ted is lying. You are right, the local papers didn't mention that several celebrities are in our midst, only the Falmouth roadrace mentioned. Hmmm, why is that, I wonder?
Tacky blog or not, you're here, aren't ya? Can't stay away, can you? Can't help seeing what's being said, can you?
Never mind that you don't believe any of it. Never mind that you laugh at the idea of there being a BT. Or that Jake could still be with Austin. Or that Jake might be gay. Or that you just find this whole blog ridiculous or unbelievable.
Man, you just can't stay away. You're hanging out just itching to jump on here with your scoffing and laughter. When there's 1001 other things to do on a Sunday afternoon. Nooooo, you'd rather be inside on your computer, taking potshots at people who blog about something you have no interest or belief in. Talk about a headshaker.
I don't know SK, why no mention of celebrities in your midst? Maybe Jake , Reese and the kids were never on MV! Maybe the tweets of Jake in MV solo and then the Jake and Reese tweets were PR plants/ Reese and the kids were in Philly all this time and only emerged today because she was needed on set whie Jake is actually in NC with BT!!
Are you sure thats Jake, those shorts are awfully short? I have always seen him in shorts down to his knees. Jake wants to be a big star box office wise, let him. Maybe Reese and her kids are enough for him to be happy, its his life.
Jake has a huge ego, its a required asset to have in Hollywood if you want to make it big box office wise. While I truly believe Jake and Heath were close friends, it must really be alot of pressure and a hit to Jake's ego, the huge amount of success Heath had box office wise and Oscar wise after his death, not to mention the love and respect from fellow actors and Heath never really played the PR game. It just seems out of the 4 leads in BBM, Jake was the one that was supposed to be the next big thing, but the other 3 even Michelle have and are leaving him behind.
Jake is only what 28, but POP may be his last chance to prove it can carry a movie. Thats's quite a heavy burden for someone who everyone thought would be an "A lister" box office wise for a long time, not saying he will not be. Has anyone noticed the mental state of that family specifically the father. He appears to be having a breakdown. Doesn't his kids care?
Maybe Reese and her kids are enough for him to be happy
Bitchy beard is what evey closeted gay man needs to make him happy.
LMAO
Maybe, you all should show up with your signs and make noise (a la the republicans at the townhall meetings.) Maybe you should embarass him and put it on Youtube. So, why does it matter if Jake is bearding or not?
"peter allen",
are you one of those fangirls who demand that only nice and favourable comments are posted on gossip sites and blogs?
Naomi and Stephen almost made it to the big time but they didn't. Naomi never got over it. She ended her marriage to a dreamer, poet, loser and hooked her dreams onto her son who wanted success as badly as she did. He made a fantastic deal to be part of an A list couple. Regardless of his sexual orientation this relationship LIKE MANY IN HOLLYWOOD began as a deal that worked for both of them. Stephen couldn't handle the choice his son made and saw him as slipping far away into a world that would consume him. Maggie is caught in the middle and just wants things to be peaceful but has her own life and her own family to focus on. Stephen goes crazy, Naomi gets signed to write for some big projects, Reeke gets Jake what he wants and needs and the Chin is at the wheel controlling everyone's destiny which is where she loves to be.
* These two people have tons of free time and publicity brings them millions of dollars.*
^^ You need to give it another try. Really, or Give it up.
* Anyone think that the reason Austin is looking so good recently is because he's finally disentangled himself from Jake and all the weirdness that comes with wanting to be the big a-list star and is just enjoying his life. *
Like Spcial said, If Jake beards, Austin benefits from it. Beside, nobody knows if Austin and Sophia are not screwing around. Just because some want to say it's not happening does not mean it's NOT.
Also Asutin Nichols wants to be seen NOT Gay. Sorry it's the truth.
* Guys, there is a real serious attempt going on right now, I'm telling you, to do OMG in. I don't care who is throwing in the towel right now or what they want to put up in comments. *
^^ PrirerGirl do you actully think out of the millions of people who go to movies and really don't follow celebrity's, the one's who don't even know most celebrity names, the ones who go to movies for a subject matter, not the star and you believe Jake's Public Relations, Agents, Publicist are wasting time with this very small community and want to do it in? Come now. You are truly grasping for straws. Even Rock Hudsons people did not do as much as you think Jake's people are doing. And at times Rock said fuck that and did what he wanted to do.
* I also know that this week will be the start of our third year of OMG and that is really annoying for a lot of people. *
Special K, you do a great job on this site, and your dedication is awesome. I love the site, but some including myself just don't agree that Jake and Austin are together anymore. I also think Jake and Reese are really dating and may get married. If they do, I don't think it would last because of Jake. I do think he and Austin messed around and are still good friends.
You need to give it another try. Really, or Give it up.
You just need to give up. LOL
"Long Time Poster / Lurker now",
Hi babbler!
UV/FL can't keep you entertained?
Well, it is almost the end of the week, and seeing as how not talking about the negative side of Jake didn't lead to a flowering of other conversations, I'm calling off my truce.
reeke for him is a mindset that he has become addicted to as it has evolved. He became angry when folks made fun of it. He gave the finger to peole who wouldnt believe it.
I could see that being the case Tom. I think that is one of the reasons why Reeke has been ramped up. I think Jake's ego is not loving the fact he hasn't convinced everybody he's as straight as Jack Nicholson.
And I also think the fact that Reeke is doing things like MV, which so far has only got out to the fan sites, is pretty clear evidence to me that PR is desperately trying to get rid of the gay, no matter what small corner it lurks in. I'm sure they are hoping places like OMG and WFT are gone when PoP opens, for fears that people goggling about Jake will find these places. I think PR, like the babblers and trolls, has convinced themselves that it is just a few people who run around causing all the trouble on the internet.
"Reeke gets Jake what he wants and needs and the Chin is at the wheel controlling everyone's destiny which is where she loves to be"
While I have doubts about Jake's sexual orientation and his relationship with Reese, I have no doubt Reese is one manipulating little snot. Wouldn't it be ironic if it all blew up in their faces, I don't see how POP can succeed? Perhaps it will be Ryan P who will have the last laugh.
Being protrayed as the "terrible husband", may have been the biggest blessing in Ryan P's life.
I wonder if there is any chance anyone has the balls to out Reese as the fake nice person she pretends to be? Maybe thats what Jake loves about her, her manipulating ways. Or he has put his career in her hands and has no choice.
Tom, regarding your point about Rufus and Adam, it is completely different.
The vibe from fans at Rufus' show is people really like him, love his music and lyrics, but the vibe is more like you're watching an old friend up there on stage.
With Adam it is all about the sex and wanting to throw themselves at him. And that is what makes it so revolutionary and/or why it truly is busting down those old myths.
Women want Rufus to be their fabulous gay friend, women want Adam to give them every inch of his love.

lccoop: Anyone know if Jake Gyllenhaal or howev u spell it is in Martha's Vineyard? Pretty sure just saw him drive by.
about 4 hours ago from txt
Philly Inquirer pap Mike Klein describes Reeke as "Reese Witherspoon and her flame, Jake Gyllenhaal" LOL. Is he being devious or truly not realizing what "flame" implies?!
Spesh I didnt mean for my comments to embarrass you or invite others to give you a hard time. I am just being honest about what I see.
I am pretty sure that was Jake, reese and kids in that pic. I really didnt see it as a PR stunt this time. That was a paper photograph and Jake was doing something he likes to do every year. Plus we would have not known they were in MV if it wasnt for the Holy Church of Tweeter. Again for some reason I just didnt see it as a PR staged photo op this time. I have just come to the conclusion that this relationship is just not all PR anymore. Jake wants to be with her. I think he is an idiot because the Texan in NC is too die for. Hope I am wrong.
This comment was approved by Jersey Tom alone. Although I will accept any check that the Harem Hags would send.

Personnaly I think Mom is driving this baby now and has been all along.
You don't have to believe twitters but it looks like Reese and kids are back in Philly and Jake stayed in MV.
Tom,
that wasn't a PR staged photo op, but Reese was there just for PR.
Destiny Rufus and Adam are two very different type performers and have two different types of fans. One thing in common though is music. Too bad HW doesnt believe that this type of love for gay men can exsist in the movies.
Personnaly I think Mom is driving this baby now and has been all along.
Reese is driving and using reeking for self promotion and marketing from the start - she isn't a beard because she likes gays.

So nice of Reese to give Jake few days off this week!
We beard and we like gays!

Me think reese wouldnt have been there unless Fake wanted her to be and Mom gave the approval.
By the way where is Maggie?? She sure seems to have drifted away from this mess. Even Dad said he felt sorry for his son in his poem. Dad knows Mom and what she is capable of. My bet is that Maggie does also.
On a personal note, I've been furloughed (laid off) from Phoenix and transferred to Boston. D.C. (Dulles) was the other option. Looks like it's Logan (back to New England). NOT looking forward to winters, but I'm grateful to keep my job!

Welcome back to New England, E.V.! :)
I honestly don't see how Reese and her brood being down on the Vineyard for an appearance means anything more than it ever does. What's so different about it this time?
Me think reese wouldnt have been there unless Fake wanted her to be and Mom gave the approval.
Two weeks after Reese's divorce was officially announced we found out that Reese plans to use hot, high profile and very faithful "boyfriend" for her new public image.
Jake needed or wanted a beard.
A match made in CAA PR heaven!
Why is every one surprised that the effort to make Jake straight and to eliminate WFT2 and OMG is ramping up as we get closer to POP. Do you think Disney is going to risk a $270 million venture without exercising every effort to do so right up to the opening minute of the film? Personally, it doesn't sway me in the least. I've been in business 20+ years. I know what happens when money is at stake and have been behind marketing campaigns myself. Different subject but the principals are the same. I drew my conclusions about Jake pre the POP deal, back when Jake was more open about who he really is. Smoke and mirrors will not change what he is. Some jobs are 24/7 at times, and that holds for Reeke. It's just a job.

I am jealous, you get the Red sox, the Celtics and snow. I get the Texas Rangers choking and Tony Romo trying to blame Jessica Simpson for yet another losing season for the Dallas Cowboys and its hot as hell even in OCtober. But I do have a job, for now.
((E.V.)) sorry, you have to leave Phoenix, but happy to hear you've kept your job. I know Special will disagree, but Phoenix is a far more livable city than Boston. :-D
I don't think MV is anything different, but the amount of time Reeke spend together has really exploded this summer. And the children are involved more than in the past, and well, you all know already how I feel about that topic.
And where was Chris? Too busy with catering and farming? Didn't want to be a part of this farce? Injury that kept him from running?
And here is one thing that never makes sense to me about the Jake is bearding for Austin argument. If Jake is now supposedly "straight", why does that automatically make Austin straight? I mean, the guy hasn't had a girlfriend in 4 or 5 years now. And couldn't he just project the player image without Jake bearding? And why couldn't Jake have done that, for that matter--I'm sure he could have found lots of models to go out with, never be seen with more than a few times, float stories of other unseen dates? Because Disney and PoP wanted a family man, not a player.
The bearding is all about the image Jake wants to project, and that is family man, for family movie PoP.
^^ :)
EV, you're coming back up North, I'll be going to Arizona. Just for vacay tho.
I don't think MV is anything different, but the amount of time Reeke spend together has really exploded this summer. And the children are involved more than in the past
Same Reeke crap as last summer.
I'm sure you all remember UK, Paris and Morroco reeking from last year, and Us Reekly cover and "family vacation" spread.
IMO the bearding and family man image is being ramped up now because Disney knows Jake is going to come off as majorly gay in POP. They want no doubts that he's straight by the time May 2010 rolls around. His soft sweet voice, Miss Marple accent, non-chemistry with the female costar, campy moves...will all be taken to assume he's ghey in real life but then negated with "He's Reese Witherspoon's boyfriend/fiancee! They've been going together for 3 years. No way is he gay. He's going to be stepfather to her 2 kids. She wouldn't be with a gay guy."
Chilimark
Not only that Negation, but also the fact that POP was missing from COmic Con is still strange, and makes me wonder if they are concerned the movie won't do well. Jake could be ramping up the Reeking because he is afraid that if PoP fails they will blame his gay rumors.
Clooney sure upped the bearding before Leatherheads by sticking with Sara Larson and even having her sit in one his interviews. And Leatherheads was a bomb.
Hey E.V
Welcome back to New England. And before you get to the NE winters you get those spectacular falls.
Excited that you are in the area, and so glad you got to keep your job.
Too bad Camp Camp is only for one week. Destiny you can survive without your electronics for 7 days, you'll live! LOL!
My childhood camps had all the usual stuff plus archery, softball, folk dancing, overnite hikes, overnite horseback rides, etc. I loved all of it. Wish I could go back.
I wonder when the Camp Camp campers go home if they give their loved ones a keychain, necklace or bracelet gaudy-awful lanyard that they made while at Camp Camp?!!
It's normal to bring us home from Camp Camp, just no STDs, okay?
Hey I can still make a mean lanyard. Best camp memory, me and 400 boys for a week. Hey there were perks to the camp directors daughter.
Hey I was 5!
They choose our parts carefully and then they fondle us and fold and mold and bend us with their mighty hands oh so tenderly, especially during quiet times and liedowns...then we go home with them and get thrown in a box in the basement and forgotten. *cries*
me and 400 boys for a week.
Okay that explains it!
Hey that's not my Shallow K.
Hey I was 5!
And too young to appreciate it. Damn!
I was like a little princess with 400 boys Talk about Tinkbelle and the boys of Neverland.
From WFT2:
Why Are Gay Men So Bigoted?
I was attending my best friend's party for her sister and her family. Her sister is a very devout Christian but the church she attends is very open to gays.
So she tell me that they had a meet and greet for the gay members of the church and that she noticed that black gays and the white gays separated themselves.
Then she told me that one of the black gay church members went over to introduce himself to a small group of white gay members the group broke up and regrouped after he left. She was very confused. She hated seeing that in her church and wondered why gay men would reject other gay men due to color.
My answer was that lots of people are bigoted, whether in church or not, and that openess doesn't always mean the same thing to the every person. But she did raise a major question.
How can we as gay people ask the world to accept us as equals when we reject equality with each other due to color, or appearence? Does that mean as gay people we are always just 14 year old mean girls? Or are we just a reflection of the society as a whole?
Oh, it's not just the horror of no electronics, but the forced, organized group activities, which I hate and put in the same category as all those miserable gym classes I had to take in school. And if you really don't want to do something, but everyone else does and gives you a hard time, that's no fun either because they make you feel like a party-pooper.
Thanks for the great song today Special, my girlfriend is enjoying it too. We both know the song, but it's been ages since we've heard it.
I think Jake and Reese are together, if by together you mean in a relationship that is mutually beneficial for both of them and their careers. I think they are friends and genuinely like each other. They are both in the relationship because they want to be and are co-drivers of the bus. I think they will at the very least get engaged but they will probably marry.
Really what they're doing is not so unusual. Lots of people get together for reasons other than love. People get together because they don't want to be alone, for money, because they want to have kids, status, etc., all sorts of reasons that are not love. Jake and Reese are not that unique.
Sorry wasn't pretending to be you. This is what I meant it explains:
Special K at age 5
+ 400 boys for a week
= Shallow K
You started young! Appreciating all the boys!
ha ha LOL
I think they will at the very least get engaged but they will probably marry.
Wicked, you really think Reeke will get married? How long do you think it will last? 5 years, 10, 20? Just curious, because I too believe they will get engaged but will break it off and won't marry.
It will all be over for Reese and Jake as a couple thanks to Paul Rudd. Reese will declare her love for the Ruddman, Paul will get a divorce citing his uncontrollable lust for Reese's chin. PR will spin it as the new "Mr and Mrs Smith" love affair. Jake will be the understanding long suffering boyfriend who does not want to stand in the way of "true love". Jake's heartbreak will forced him to admit he's gay. America will understand and support him, he will be Hollywood biggest box office star. Reese will start a campaign against Rudd's wife as being the evil one because she uses swear words. America will see that Paul and Reese belong together, they will adopt pigs and more chicks and live happily ever after. Reese and Paul, Jake and his boyfriend will be life long friends.
Seriously I do think Paul and Reese are smitten with each other, who in their right smitten mind would rush back to work and leave Jake back in MV? I would for the hotness that is Paul Rudd. He's perfect for Reese.

Nah, she will just tighten the screws with that chin of hers. Jake has made a deal with the devil, whether its love or not. She's one controlling piece of work. If Jake's career tanks he will be her new chew toy, she will bite away at his ego bit by bit. Jake will turn to acholol or worse to dull his senses, he can't walk away because then he will be a total loser. And she won't let them, it will be too much fun to have another Ryan around.
From your lips, in 3 days! I hope you're right. :)
BTW, what happened to UV, FL and that other two-watt bulb, Jack troll? Things have quieted down. ;)

^^ I agree with everything you posted Wicked. Regardless of what Jake's sexuality is they are together. Like some have said, Please take the blinders off people. At this time in his life, Jake wants to be with Reese. For someone to scream PR every time these two are together is not right.
I know some will attack my post but not Wicked's, but I'm just stating the obvious until something else is proven.
You know what is sad. I dont think Fake cares about being liked anymore. He ate up all the adulation after BBM. Looked like he had the time of his life. He was adored by everyone and had a hot boyfriend. He actually is a shell of what he used to be. Just the way I see it. I wonder what he will think about 20 yrs from now and looks back to what he threw away. I think he wll have first his Mom to thanks most. Then his PR team and reese.
My bet is Naomi signed up the 2 kids and herself (in place of Reese) for the Chilmark Race and not knowing what city/state to put down, put NY for all of them. She knew Jake wanted to do the Race so she signed up the beard and family for the walk. I also bet Naomi never intended to be there, never walked and was not there even as an observer. Reese did it in her name instead, as Naomi had intended. The walk times are not important so it's not like the organizers are going to cry foul. If I'm correct in this, then it's one more proof that Mama is behind the bearding. Jake needs to cut the apron strings to get his balls back.

ITA. The Chin will not want a boyfriend who has a career that is declining. She would toss Jake to the side and then claim Reeke was a rebound, she's not ready for marriage again, they wanted different things and parted as friends. But she will probably do her best to put the final nail in Jake's career coffin because he inconvienced her and she has to find another fake boyfriend.
Everyone believes what they believe. It's all about coming up with your own conclusions from what you see. You believe Jake and Reese are together that doesn't stop me still believing Jake and Austin still are.
"longtime poster now lurker" and others: Will you PLEASE learn how to italicize or at least put QUOTE MARKS around others' comments when you repeat them in your posts? Just adding ^^ when you start your comment is NOT enough. Thank you in advance.
"Please take the blinders off people"
Whether its real or not or if Jake is straight or gay is so unimportant. I think everyone agrees on one thing, this is a "Showmance". If I completely agree with you and lets say Jake and Reese decided this was good for them personally and career wise, Jake is the one that is blind. This deal is all one sided with all the advantages on Reese's side.
And doesn't your argument validate the general consensus of this blog?
BTW, what happened to UV, FL and that other two-watt bulb, Jack troll?
They're at the Sunday Night All-You-Can-Eat Buffet at the JIS Insane and Inane GB Asylum.
Atticus has more charisma than Jake.
LMAO, Where Else. :)
And doesn't your argument validate the general consensus of this blog?
^^ the consensus of this blog (i) Just that! That's all.
Jake is a human being. You and everyone else can speak thier minds and disagree with Jake's decisions for the next 10 years.
If Jake and Reese decides to marry or Austin becomes steady with some women, the posters here disagreements mean nothing at the end of the day.
Thank goodness we all, including Jake, have the right of free thoughts and actions as long as it's not harmful to anyone.
Still, what posters post here is nothing more than mare opinions. At the end of the day, his life is his and your life is yours.
(i) is supposed to be (Is)
I don't know what's really going on, but as someone above said, I have to question the logic of Reese coming down to the Vineyard for the day or a few hours or whatever when she's filming, bringing the kids, and leaving her gorgeous bf alone on a beautiful summery island without her. Where's the sense in that? Also, we didn't see Jake with Austin for a very long time, and yet the biking pics came out. There's no way to know, but I have a gut feeling that Reeke is as fake, J&A are still going strong, and that BT is very possible. I also don't think Ted is lying. He may embelish somewhat, but I don't think he'd keep going this long. I haven't seen the pics from the Chilmark race, and I don't believe all of the sightings and twitters. I thought I read one where they said Jake and Reese were spotted in Billerica. LOL! Now I love Billerica, but I doubt that one sincerely. :)
I'm telling you guys, Reese wants Paul. She saw that pic with his nude body with the sheet barely covering the package. Its bigger than her chin. Paul and Reese on set all day together and then dinner alone when Jake leaves for one day? Why did she buy all that food during her six million visits to Whole Foods? Paul has game folks, he's not boring, he probably told her she was hot in Monsters vs Aliens.
Now you've done it Special, my girlfriend is all hot to go to that camp. :-D
I think what you've said Wicked is sadly true. I think there will be an engagement, and I wouldn't be surprised in the least by a marriage. The past few years have made it clear that the most important thing to Jake is his career, and if he thinks he'll get all that he wants form HW with a power marriage that will make people think he is straight, he'll do it. Jake appears to be too immature and insecure to go through life without a beard by his side, so why not marry one. And either Austin will be a fool and go along with it, or Jake will do what most bearding gay men do, have their rent boys and boy toys for sex on the side.
I don't know how good of friends they are, but I think as Jake has isolated himself from his old life, and probably his old friends, that Reese has replaced people like Chris and Maggie who have moved on with their own lives and don't want to get tangled up in this.
And before everyone jumps on me and misinterprets what I've said, I don't think the Reeke relationship is or will ever be a sexual one. But I think Reese could care less--she can whoever she wants on the side, never has to worry about being left again for another woman.
As for what happens if Jake isn't successful? Personally I think she likes being the more successful one in a relationship, and could care less whether Jake succeeds or fails.
People have had it all wrong when it comes to Reeke. They are not trying to be Brangelina, but Will and Jada. In 20 years we can expect stories from Reese about all the odd places they have sex in order to keep their relationship hot.
Ewwwwww.
BS said...
You've got to wonder then why so much harassment to the members of a so-called "delusional" group of J&A fans. Why the big push, and the harassment then, trying to create doubt and dissention, divid and conquer, I think it's called. If we as so "out there", why not leave us to it, and go on with your own wonderfully full lives? You call us obsesses, but you obsess over the obsessors! Constantly here trying to bring OMG down, for the past three years at least. I applaud OMG for sticking with it. And no, we don't know that Ted is lying. You are right, the local papers didn't mention that several celebrities are in our midst, only the Falmouth roadrace mentioned. Hmmm, why is that, I wonder?
No one is bringing down OMG.
I am calling Ted out. I know he has answered a lot of my letters and that has been so much fun for me. But I do now think he is lying about BT. No way Austin and Jake would do what they are doing to a child. No way.......
Wicked, you really think Reeke will get married? How long do you think it will last?
For as long as it's mutually beneficial. Straight is the image of himself that Jake has chosen to sell. He's hitched his wagon to it, we'll see if it makes him a star.
I'll never believe that Reese would marry Jake. Playing at being a couple is one thing. Not that different from any acting gig. Marriage, that's going way too far. Just like sex is going too far.
Tom, why would Ted lie? That would totally ruin him as a gossip columnist. Exaggerating, taking poetic license is one thing, but lying is career suicide. He likes his job too much for that. Besides, yes there is a baby tile is one of the few things he has not beat around the bush about. Try sending him another email about it.
Actually it looks like Jake has given up on being a star. Bearding, no hit movies, hardly working, all charisma gone, most fan sites a dead zone. If/when he gets married to Reese, it will be all over, the final nail in the coffin. His best bet is to go back to school and get an education, to make something of himself since the acting gig has been long gone and it sure isn't doing anything for him now. All he is currently is a Housewife of Brentwood and Ojai. He should go to college now so that Reese will pay for it while he's still pretty and she can brag that she has a college-age bf. I'm sure she can afford to send him to Harvard or Yale or Princeton or Stanford, and so what if his grades aren't the best, she can use her name, money and influence to put him on the Dean's List.
Jake, face it. You don't want to be a star anymore. You got tired of putting on all the charisma and sex appeal so instead of working on your acting and taking gritty roles or changing your looks, you took the easy way out: you latched onto a boring, sexless, controlling woman and you became a boring, asexual, hangers-on, puppy-like little boy. You have absolutely no traits to respect. What did I ever see in you.
Wow. Who would've thought 2 years ago when I first discovered OMG, that I would see a day of discussion like today's? The nicest thing I can conclude after coming back from being gone is that at least everyone's pretty much been able to get on here, state their case or beliefs and without there being any nastiness.
I am floating on everyone's raft, I think. My mind changes every day depending on what I see.
I, myself, am not putting a whole lot into this MV deal. I'm really not. There's nothing that makes this sighting any different from their little trip to Paris last year or Cabo or anywhere else. I believe someone else made this exact same observation up above earlier, I'm just too lazy to go back and see who it was.
I have no doubt the whole little brood was there; the people on MV have no reason to make up race results. I find it interesting though that Reese isn't more visible. This is exactly the kind of outing that puts one more nail in the coffin for her. I mean, look how one obscure picture and one re-print of race results got everyone all emotional and stirred up around here.
If I was them, I would know that a few more of these ought to be enough to finish sending everyone over the edge.
No, I don't think every outing is a PR stunt. I think that for whatever totally unfathomable reason, Jake seems to be the only man on earth who can tolerate or actually even likes this woman. That in itself is a real therapist couch pondering. But that's a whole other ball of wax. I do think alot of their outings are for the purpose of casting out what they want to sell - Reese wanting to be on the arms of a man who "wants" and "worships" her and Jake, for simply being with a female and appearing straight.
My first instinct, also, is to get all worked up over something like this. But when you think about all the endless stories that PR has fed to the rags for the past 3 years and only in the past several months are they revving up the actual acting out of trying to make Jake appear to be really interwoven in her & the kids' lives, I have to ask where has all of this same pictorial "proof" been for the past 3 years?
I have to think that the reason this Chillmark race is so upsetting is because there have just been a few areas of Jake's life that have seemed to be "sacred" as far as some of his Jaustin fans are concerned. The Lakers games, Martha's Vineyard, and any visibility with Jake's family being 3 "sacred" areas where it is painful to see Reese & Co. invade. And I know that the opinion has been expressed before that there is nothing "sacred" or "special" about the Laker's game pictures with Austin, but I beg to differ. There was. Those pictures were the crowning glory of what some Jaustin fans saw as something beautiful and special.
And as Jake has torn down anything at all remaining of what ties him to his past, it has to be upsetting and disillusioning to anyone who thought he was special, who thought he might be different. It's hard to let go of that.
I can let go of all of that because, really, he has taken care of that very easily by involving Mrs. G, his mother, and by re-involving himself with the kids. It's very, very sad, really.
But I won't be intimidated into waving any white flag and giving PR what they want to hear. Nope. Not here.
Just going to see how they intend to finish the race. I'll tell you one thing though, I think the pressure must be very, very big right now. I wouldn't want to be in their shoes for nothing.
And Paul Rudd is married.
Not that that means anything in HW it would seem, but my bet is that Avon Lady is trying to right the big ship that was christianed, "Reese Doesn't Get Along With Any Of Her Co-Stars".
M - Well put and I agree.
I'm the original, not going to waive any white flags no matter what I say about Jake gal. And I don't think MV is any different, what is different is the amount of time he is putting into this.
And Half Baked, are you thinking of Franco? It was only after he went off to school and indeed got a life outside of HW that things seemed to take off for him. Could be a coincidence, or could show you that what you need to succeed in life is balance. I think that is missing for Jake right now.
Among other things, what in the heck does he do all day week after week while Reeking and Reese is working. He has spent far more time with her than she did with him on movie sets, and we know she could always shop, her usual activity.
As for the kind of person Reese, got to wonder if she isn't a lot like his mother, and he's just substituted one mom for another. You know what they say about men marring their mothers.
Having to turn away from the mess that is the Sox and Yankees game, TDAT is on FX again and watching I just thought about this. Carrying Austin and outrunning the ice not the wolves, where did Jake dump him soon as they got inside the room? Because Emmy got the comfy couch and there is no where else big enough for Austinto stretch his bitten up leg. Damn that's cold Roland. : )

What is Jake doing? Well he does have PR for Brothers coming out and I'm sure there are interviews. He has two upcoming movies that he is got to be working on, Love and Other Drugs and Namath. There is research that you need to do for that as well. And he has a some point filmed his spot on Sesame Street which is the can and no one knew he did until it was mention, so that tells me he can work on projects and it not get leaked until people want it known.
One last thought. I continue to monitor and find very interesting the coverage that Reeke is getting (well, really not getting) anymore. I know that there are a few hot stories out there, i.e. this Jon & Kate, Pattinson, Jessica Simpson (I'm not sure why she continues to be a big story, but lol, oh well), Octomom, Michael J, Kendra, etc etc. And even with those current hot topics going on, there will still be pictorial & blip updates on the latest news of say, Brangelina, Kate Hudson's latest, Demi & Ashton, Vanessa & Zac, etc etc. Well, it seems to me to be really interesting that Reeke just isn't even getting the casual mentions anymore. And what is up with their flagship station, US Reekly? Reeke's product is getting to be very hard to find on the shelves of the rags or the internet any more.
Well, it's great to see everyone putting their two cents in and it shows that to some degree, everyone still cares about the guy. They do or they wouldn't still be here, lurking, reading, commenting, whatever it is; just clicking on www.ohmygodot.com proves right there that there is something still invested.
I'm afraid I have gotten no writing done this weekend. Not a good thing.
Will be interesting to see what we see of whom this coming week.
Sweet dreams to all and to all a good night! I am off to check on my boys.
Jake was sold into an arranged bearding by his mother. I wonder how much the dowry will be for marriage.
Wow, talk about emotionally spent. Here's suggestion, for 1 week, stay away from Jake, Reese, Reeke, twittering and the twats. Don't discuss it, analyze it or acknowledge it.
Ban all things Jake related. He really doesn't deserve your emotional investment. Just for 7 days, cleanse yourselves. Don't acknowledge who you call "trolls" and their comments. Delete all pics sent in, just step away from Jake for seven days.
Focus on someone who deserves the emotional investment.
No wonder Papa G hightailed it out of there.
^^I may have to take your suggestion. ;)
Goodnight, all! :)
Enjoy your week long-break Just Asking. So what are you going to be focusing on? I never hear you talk about any other interests, unlike most of the commentators.
Me, I'll still be around, but like everyone else here this is just one of many interests.
Special, you know I've got to disagree with you about those Red Sox games, just for the sake of NY pride.
Destiny said,
"Enjoy your week long-break Just Asking. So what are you going to be focusing on?"
My life, I was just trying to help those of you who sound like your world is falling apart. Don't be so defensive. Karma can be a bitch you know.
If anything brings OMG down it'll be a bitter feud between Sox and Yank fans, not Reeke!
Just watching the replay of the Joan Rivers Roast and they did clips of her throughout her career, including her butcher jobs on the red carpet. Why do I bring it up? Cause it included a clip of her interviewing Jake and Maggie at the Oscars in 2005 and she asked about a movie with a title she gave Private Lives, but the look on Jake and Maggie's face is classic its - WTF.
(If/when he gets married to Reese, it will be all over, the final nail in the coffin.)
You can't be serious. This type of thinking is coming only from Jake and Austin babytile Loveship fans. Of course you would want it to be all over for him because Jake lied to you. To this group of fans personally. Telling. A rocket scientist it does not take.
Second string troll
Just asking I have done this a number of times over the years and months. It's refreshing, really. I'm an original fan from the Dany Days.
But when I come back to the (every Jake and Reese move is from PR to counter OMG and WFT2).
I just shake my head. Then I slowly back away again. I Don't think Jake will be coming out as bi or gay. He is with Reese. That's what he wants people to know and think, and he IS. No matter if it's love, Lust, money, to combat loneliness, friendship, fuckship, girlfriendship. It does not matter.
Jake is with Reese, not Austin.
And a troll called "logic" is here and not at Babble, so what's new? LOL.
twitter by kjpilot: Ran into Jake Gyllenhal literally at Chilmark Road Race. He lost his shoe!!
^^ LOL I want to hear more about this. Did his shoe come off during the race and he put it back on? Did it extend his running time, and for how long? Or did someone steal his shoe at the race before it began? Is that why he was on the sidelines in the pic, not in the front, looking down maybe wondering how he could run with only one shoe on?!
I just meant to say that I wish
Jake and Austin the very best in
whatever happens in their lives.
I agree with Tom-the Texan in NC
is really great and I just hope that Jake does not let him go out of his life completely! As for
Reese, it's his life so he will live it. I hope Jake does have great success though!
Regardless of what Jake's sexuality is they are together.
Bullshit.
If Reeke is "together" then that is the saddest, most pathetic sexless romantic relationship I have ever witnessed.
How do you run into someone and they lose their shoe?
Were they racing grocery carts? Was Jake wearing shoes 3 times too big? Are high-end pricey professional running shoes that easy to give flat tires to? When you give someone a flat tire doesn't just their heel stick out, not the whole shoe fall off?!!
Gee whiz, Reeke-Jake's not only ball-less and spineless but his feet are wasting away from having the beard and PR stepping all over them. What's next, he won't have a leg to stand on?
Jake is already showing a slowly receding hairline. My hunch with all the hats he's wearing lately, even with his short hair, inside restaurants and at night, or beanies in the summer sun, is that he's getting gray hair in the front area and the crown and he's covering up the roots until he can get them colored.
Receding hairline, gray hair, no star charisma left, anger management issues, 90% of fans gone. Bearding and associating with Reese has worked wonders.
Also another clue he's been experimenting with his hair color, the reddish hair tones we saw a month or 2 back. Dead giveaway. No need for it, he isn't working or has a role, it wasn't strong enough a statement to be a real style change and it went back to the his normal color soon after. Someone made a major mistake and colored his whole head when all he needs is constant root jobs to match the existing brown, about every week or 2. A hassle and time consuming but less obvious.
One question we all have to ask ourselves is this. reeke is getting very little press. None nationally. We see no interest in this relationship at all. All we have are tweets and some photos that show up on the internet. I dont think they gather much interest except from us and the bobbleheads. So one question. Why continue? Does anyone think anyone cared about or heard about reeke going to MV except us. Doubt it. reese went to MV because she loves Fake. Fake wants to be in this relationship because he and Mom want him to be straight.
Longtime lurker and non-poster here to say that Jake is gay, the Reese/Jake relationship is a fake, and it appalls me, to be honest. That's why I never post. Watching Jake Gyllenhaal at the moment is like watching a car crash.
Everyone who works in the industry knows he is as gay as a goose. Trust me on this one. PR would just love to have sites like this disappear, because they speak truth to power.
Don't give up. We - gay men who also work in the industry - need to read sites that hold Hollywood's hypocritical feet to the fire.

Thanks, we know Jake is gay and bearding :)
^^^ Troll, try again!
We see no interest in this relationship at all. I dont think they gather much interest except from us and the bobbleheads. So one question. Why continue?
Because this is the best PR campaign for Reese and Jake. Painfully boring Reese has an escort for parties, dinners, movie promotions, holidays - she certainly doesn't want to be next "poor Jennifer Aniston".
And don't worry, all this reeking will be printed in few million Us Reekly copies and used by Reese during her next movie promotion.
And that very well could be $$$, but I'm telling you, right now there must be no interest from anyone else as in zilch,nada, big fat 0.
Otherwise, the websites & rags would be giving their fans what they want just like Ted switched to blanket coverage of Twilight as soon as Robert Pattinson became a hot commodity. They are going to cover whatever is going to sell their magazines, subscriptions, get hits on their sites, and garner the most comments.
And this has been going on now for awhile. Reeke is no longer being mentioned in the rags. Period.
There's not even any made up stories anymore. So there is something seriously up with that because it's been going on now for several months. I'm trying to think - oh yeah, his D.C. visit is the last one that got any pictures/mention. No articles or stories, though. Just a picture in alot of them. And before that visit, I can't remember the last photo op that made all the rounds.
So, it sounds to me like Reeke has become a hard sell as far as magazine space. The rags are more willing to spend 5 inches of space on Jessica Simson and Drew Barrymore than Reeke's business.
Heck, even JJ isn't covering them constantly like it used to.
Jake doesn't even get any solo mentions or posts anymore. What does that say?
When he does, it's as a part of Reeke. If they can't sell Reeke any longer as something people want to read about now, I'm not sure what makes them think that's going to change anytime soon.
Everyone is saying that the MV race wasn't a PR stunt. I think it was a very slick PR stunt. Reeke PR knows full well that Jake fangirls would know about the race ASAP. Jake has just spent 2 weeks following Reese around and babysitting her kids. Of course she would follow him to MV, the fangirls would talk about it and there would be the official race pics. You can be sure that People will have a small blurb about Jake running and how it's so wonderful he got the kids into running also. I did notice in the pic that Ava ran wearing Converse sneakers, not really running shoes. They probably prompted the kids to run saying it would be fun and they could stop whenever they wanted. Reeke PR is finally getting better at staging appearances. Instead of a blantant in your face, they went for a more underhanded, but effective approach. Their mission was accomplished because everyone is in an uproar and having doubts about him bringing beard and kids to MV.
Don't give up. We - gay men who also work in the industry - need to read sites that hold Hollywood's hypocritical feet to the fire.
While disco's comment seemed earnest at first, that last comment seems kind of contradictory unless you, disco, are someone who is out in the industry? In which case, then I don't know how disco's comment could constitute a "troll" label.
That wouldn't make any sense.
Okay, I had to take down that last comment. Whew.
Last one for awhile, promise.
Regardless of the whys, hows, wheretofore's, it's painfully apparent to us all, as Wicked pointed out, that not only is this what Reese & Jake's handlers want to sell, but it is what Jake wants to sell as well.
That's probably what makes it all so hard now.
So, I think the funniest thing that we could possibly do is to do just the opposite of what they all want and that is to whither away.
Like Special has said, it's been 3 years and that has got to be a little irritating to them that places like OMG and WFT2 refuse to go away.
And while there may not be consistently heavy activity on a daily basis, I think yesterday proved that there is still life out there after all. Pretty cool.
So, take that & chew it awhile.
I love when someone comes on and pretends to be an oldtime poster but now lurking only, Dany-days, blah, blah. Divide and conquer again and try to create doubt. If J&R are real (and that's a BIG if)I have to say this. While it's all well and good that Jake seems to be good with Reese's kids, and is a family man, non-HW party boy, the perfect bf, it's all very one sided. How come Ryan never gets equal time? Why the big push to get the world to accept Jake as Reese's de facto husband and father of her kids? The kids already have a father. It's very lovely that Jake is a positive presence in their lives, I just have to wonder why so much focus on J&R and not equal time for their father. While it's all very lovely, it's kind of annoying as well. If any of it had a ring of truth to it at all, people would be more accepting I think. It doesn't, in many ways. I just don't find them an appealing couple, and it detracts from him. Something doesn't ring true. I wonder if he will ever talk about it in the media.
PG,
real trolls and babblers are trying to label people who believe Jake is gay as trolls.
Regardless of the whys, hows, wheretofore's, it's painfully apparent to us all, as Wicked pointed out, that not only is this what Reese & Jake's handlers want to sell, but it is what Jake wants to sell as well. That's probably what makes it all so hard now.
Jake is selling "I'm straight and dating Reese" crap since October 2007. I don't see anything new in this boring showmance.
I think as Jake has isolated himself from his old life, and probably his old friends, that Reese has replaced people like Chris and Maggie who have moved on with their own lives and don't want to get tangled up in this.
Why on Earth would Jake isolate himself from his old friends and family?!?
We DO see Jake with his old friends, colleagues and family from time to time (unlike Reese, looks like she doesn't have friends).
That's not how it came across to me at first, though, smiley. I mean, yeah, sure, they always were trying to sell a showmance. But in the first year, year and a half, I didn't see Jake as taking a real liking to it or at least really trying to sell it (with the exception of Rome). It was all harmless coffee & shopping pictures.
Now, we're getting the hard sell by Jake himself. I don't think you can tell me there's not a difference between what he's doing now and what he was doing that first year or so. It's been amped up considerably.
Sure, we had all the "leaks" and "sightings", even of him being "entertwined" with her kids. But there was never any back up, only spin.
Now, he and his people are putting it out there, visibly. That's what I'm talking about. There's a difference and I can't be convinced otherwise. I know what I've been seeing for the past 3 years.
Now, we're getting the hard sell by Jake himself.
Don't we have pictures of Jake, the beard and beard's kids from Halloween 2007? Don't we have pictures of Jake, the beard and beard's kids returning from 2008 Mexico "family vacation"? Didn't the beard and her kids follow Jake to UK and Paris last summer?
The only difference is that this summer the beard is working on the east coast and can request more reeking time from Jake.
True, you're totally right.
That was all last year, wasn't it?
LOLLLLLL!!! How time flies when you're having fun, eh?
snicker. Like I said, I think we need to put together a "The Way They Were and Are" with Reeke. I'm starting to forget it all.
Where's Babs when you need her?
Can it be that it was all so simple then...or has time rewritten every line???
LOLLL!
Wow, I thought something new had happened with all the posts. Sadly the only thing new is Reeke still going strong.
Jake does seem to be spending most of his time with Reese and obviously they want people to think they are together. At the same time they just can't/won't say it out loud. Neither have actually confirmed they are a couple and that is what really pisses me off. Just f**ing spit it out and maybe then people might believe. But no, their realtionship is treated like a huge secret and interviewers have to dance around the issue. Why is that? Are they saving the announcement for publicity?
As for a possible engagement, it won't change what I believe. Example: Rachel and Hayden. They still don't seem like a real couple and after they got engaged Hayden doesn't even have to be present for their outings. The ring is enough, engagement still on. Great plan, if Hayden wanted more time on his own or with SO.
^^Perfect example, Hopeful. I see nothing new either, and it is annoying to just have implications, maybe that's Reese hiding behind #138 in the race, maybe not. Just say it, or show it, or talk about it. Enough already! I really do think that just the implication and suggestion, trot out the kids once in awhile, is enough for the majority, the rest of us need more convincing. I don't like to see children involved, tho. Keep them out of it. :)
(((hopefulTB))))
Totally agree with your last post PG. The difference is that Jake is clearly spending a lof more time with Reese than in the past, when we just got unconfirmed sightings.
And where are the visits Jake used to make to Ny to see Maggie and friends. No biking. No twitter or other sightings of him with men or friends other than Reese. All those photos of him with other people are from over 4 months ago, and I think we only got those because of our saying something. Now that they can have him hanging with Rudd they don't care anymore.
Jake m$ay see friends on ocassion at private homes, etc. But given how often he is out with Reese, plus most people his age want to go out and do things, not hang around home.
I think jake is avoiding anything that could be questioned, and that means avoiding being seen with male friends is further proof Reeke is fake and Jake gay. Straight men do not have a pathological fear of being seen hanging with men.
"But no, their realtionship is treated like a huge secret and interviewers have to dance around the issue."
Apart from some shootage from POP where Jake was interviewed shortly (only questions about the film) there was no interview since "Rendition" with Jake or have I missed something?
Like I said, I think we need to put together a "The Way They Were and Are" with Reeke.
LOL PG, that sounds like a post idea.
It'll be interesting to see if Jake's "prviate life" is off the table during Brothers publicity. I think it will, partly because I still think this all has to do with PoP, so they're saving the big guns for next spring.
Now that they can have him hanging with Rudd they don't care anymore.
Jake doesn't work, Reese is working out of LA - now is the time to promote the beard and her movie. As simple as that.
