Phase Three Trials

Seems like Jake has gone undercover since the trip to Martha's Vineyard. Hey does have to work on getting ready to film next month.

Wonder if he used his time in Philly to go to Merck Drugs for a little research in the pharm industry for Love and Other Drugs. I don't know if Pfizer (in Connecticut) is too thrilled about this new movie even if its about their number one product Viagra.

Makes wonder how far he will take his research? And with who? "Come on, I need to know how this works."

But you know what's coming when he does press for it, reporters will ask as so did you do your own research on Viagra? Will it replace "How was it like to kiss a guy" for overasked question? And can you answer that one without incriminating yourself?

But don't know how his research would look.


Trial #1 25 mg. Result: Not effective



Trial #2 50 mg. Results: No reaction


Trial #3 100 mg. Results: No reaction


Control Group with Placebo Results: Immediate reaction



Conculsion: Unsure what to make of trial results, will seriously skew outcomes. Recommendation is to discontinue current trial, and reactivate study regarding subject and the control for placebo effect.

Oh my god Special! One of my favorite posts!

will seriously skew outcomes

I say we keep skewing like rabbits and see what comes out!

Special K said...

Another reason I think Gylly is not in Philly

Mamaspoon is in town.

I know Drexel is not that far from Rittenhouse Sq. but seems like there is much more time spent there than Ardmore.

Wasn't that that purpose of Ardmore to get away when work is over?

charybdis said...

Fab post, Special.

Has it occurred to anyone that Austin and Jake both have a tongue tic (see Austin in the photo above)? Wonder if one picked it up from the other.

I'm not surprised that Reese is out near Rittenhouse. There are a ton of quite good restaurants in that neighborhood; Ardmore, though a nice quiet place for some privacy, doesn't really have much going on.

Special K said...

Charybdis Owen and Paul Rudd have discovered my favorite new place in Center City - The Continental Midtown. But why have a house out of city if you never really there? ; )


Oh yeah I have notice the tongue thing I said over at Spooky's not sure who influenced who, all you know is there must have been a lot of tongue twisters.

typical....lol said...

OT. Philly pap is st8 man. LOL

Reese witherspoon wearing pretty pink sweater top. I don't know fashion so is it just called a sweater?

typical....lol said...

How many words does Austin have for pants?!!

FDA said...

I'd suggest going back to the drawing board for this product. ;)

Clever post, OMG!

destiny said...

Very funny post. I love it.

coulda guessed said...

I hear reese witherspoon reads my blog. I think I will be doing a plea to ree tonight. Twitter

destiny said...

So how come Mamaspoon hasn't been papped with Reeke? Could it be that her mother actually has some integrity and doesn't want to be dragged into a lie, unlike Naomi?

Donnie D said...

Happy 57 Birthday to Patrick Swayze! (the antichrist LOL)

:) said...

I'm sure Mamaspoon has no problem with lying, pretending and faking - she taught her daughter well.

Special K said...

This is an interesting tweet

Called in by agency for last minute VO read to ADR Jake Gyllenhaal in Jerry Bruckheimer film "Prince of Persia." I want this gig!!! ;-)

Twitter

ADR means to loop. I wonder if they can't get Jake back in the studio due to his schedule with Love and Other Drugs. Wonder how much they need to loop? And will Bruck give the VO a credit?

twitter said...

Voice over artist guy. ADR = Additional Dialogue Recording/Replacement

asdf said...

Opps duplicate again! Great minds LOL.

I'm wondering if they're looking for someone to replace all of Jake's voice in POP. No trailer, he wasn't allowed to use POP voice in that old on set interview, remember? IMO his sweet voice while I love it, might be #1 conflict with POP visual.

Ha said...

"And will Bruck give the VO a credit?"

I doubt it. Stunt people, body doubles and voiceover artists get ripped off in regards to professional recognition and contributions to films IMO. No Oscar categories for them and hardly any mention in the credits.

Meg said...

Haven't they finished POP yet. Blimey, how much tinkering can they do to a film.

Great post today, Austin just looks lovely in all the new pics. Especially love the airport ones, the striped top, jeans and desert boots are a perfect travelling combo.

Wake up and smell the coffee Jake, someone that delish and delightful ain't going to hang around in the shadows forever.

fuh said...

Trial #1: I could have sworn I'm in the Impotence Group. Maybe I got mixed up and it's the Insomnia Study?

Trial #2: Reverse effect like taking an ice cold shower. Good thing I have a sweater to hide the cameltoe.

Trial #3: Three awkward hours later and finally my arm is lowering and getting flaccid.

Control group: I'm a pharmacist from Pfizer and I'd really like to fuh, uh study you.

New comments at JJ

He is GAY
He is Grey Goose and Gyllenhaal is Toothy Tile.

Stop talking about Shantel this post is about Sophia and Austin. And Austin is not gay at all. So just stop.

I think this is the couple that was blind item’d a few weeks ago– the closeted actor who wants to be seen as straight and the TV actress who is desperately trying to have a movie career and is willing to have a fake relationship to boost her popularity. But then again, who wouldn’t in Hollywood?

@157 austin is straight that’s not funny and it is a stupid rumor sophia is NOT desperately trying to have a movie career you know nothing sophia is the kind of actress who dosen’t care about being popular her and austin hang out cause they want to not because they want to be popular that is the stupidest thing i’ve ever hear

Ted's answer on OTH hooks up makes sense now.

Ted said...

[Note: In this order, right after another]

Dear Ted:
I hated to hear that Reese Witherspoon is a be-yotch! She's not doing anything too terrible is she?
—Kristen, Nashvegas

Dear Wither Witch:
Anything along the lines of Slurpa Pop-Off trapping her pups in the closet? Heavens no! But what's "terrible" to you might be old hat in H'wood.

Dear Ted:
Why are so many people obsessed with Toothy Tile? I don't get it. But here is my guess. I don't think Toothy is any one person. I think he represents that stereotypical, smile-so-white-you-need-shades, good looking, tries-too-hard man in Hollywood . I mean, you've eliminated most everyone at this point.
—Baby Bear

Dear Tile File:
Interesting theory, but an incorrect one, just the same. It probably just seems this way because Toothy has so very man pretenders to the pansy throne, i.e., guys who like guys but are afraid to talk about it. And you're wrong about the eliminations—but literally homo hundreds of possibilities!

Bitch Back!

jj said...

Drom the Austin/Sophia thread:

wain @ 08/18/2009 at 12:42 pm three co-stars sophia? wow…and he shirt is very similar to the ones that Kenzie Dalton has worn in the past on here. Austin in such a player and everyone in Wilmington knows it, but yeah he and her are dating and have dated in the past. 22 north, a bar in Wrightsville Beach, was really awkward the other night when both James and Sophia were there. It’s so weird that James, Sophia and Austin all live within a block of each other.

names said...

Nashvegas: Another name for Nashville.

"pansy throne" Didn't Ted call Jake a pansy last week?!

Special K said...

Does anyone else think it's interesting that Ted used "trapping her pups in the closet" for Reese and "Baby Bear" for the letter about Toothy.


Wonder the "traps in the closet" that Jake is stuck in this because she's won't let him out of it?

And wonder if Baby Bear is Ted's hint that Baby T is Jake's and a maybe a boy?

Just some thoughts.

Thanks for the Raveonettes today!

prairiegirl said...

Hi, don't have anything of substance to add today. I've been tied up all day with, well, you know what. I'm all typed out, lol!!
Phew.

I love today's post. Too bad it had to come with Ice Maiden's picture in it. But well, can't have everything.

Ahh, the furniture store smile is right below my comment box right now. That smile is just all kinds of goofy and silly, isn't it? That was one happy man who was seeing somebody who made him all kinds of giddy.

This week is flying by. Man, what is with the heat and the east coast?? Why are you guys just burning up over there? We missed that stuff. Now we are drowning in off and on scattered showers.
My sympathies to those who were and are still without the ol' AC. That's rough.

Well, back to the saltmines! Sweet dreams, everyone!

destiny said...

Interesting thoughts on Ted Special. He's certainly making references to a baby at the minimum with pups and a baby bear.

That's what it is. Jaustin has a little weekend getaway place in Singapore. The tall Texan and the Jewish white boy with their baby blend right in!

At first I thought the comparision to the other BV person (Paris Hilton?) was just a comparision, but using the Baby Bear name bothered me. The only thing I can come up with is Papa Bear, Mama Bear, Baby Bear and Goldilocks trying things on for size.

Your thoughts are good Special. Could mean Jake is figuratively stuck in the closet, held down by leg shackled bear-traps. I like your idea of Baby Bear being a hint that BT is Jake's and probably a boy since Jake looks like a bear. A baby bear is a cub. Jake's real name is Jacob, Jake-Cub. It fits.

m said...

Love todays post. You are so clever. And any excuse to show those Austin photos again works for me.

Of course Reese has him trapped. This deal went on way longer than anyone expected making it even harder for Jake to escape. Long run I think both are going to regret it.

I don't listen to any reported twitters whether about Reeke or Austin. Just too easy to fake the info and PRs current favorite tactic. Even back in the day when gawker stalker was the in thing, they required more than one sighting to be sure it was legitimate. I guess I should be happy they provide some cover for Jake and Austin to see each other.

Ratings are way up for True Blood thanks to Alexander Skarsgards nude scene and he is getting lots of internet buzz last 2 days. He is a talented actor. He was terrific in Generation Kill.

I will have to watch that movie with Ewan. Another of my favorite actors but I usually avoid rom coms. He is totally comfortable playing gay and always himself off screen.

Sorry to be so long winded. Got home late today and now I am off to read chapter 15b.

asdf said...

Maybe I have too much time on my hands and I'm reading too much into it, or Ted is a very clever one. You decide. I'm seeing Reese as the controlling old woman and the three male bears as Jaustin and BT.


History:

"The Story of the The Three Bears" is a children's story tells of three [male] bears and a [crafty old woman] who trespasses upon their property. In "Goldilocks and the Three Bears") the elderly antagonist morphed into a pretty little girl called Goldilocks, and the three male bears became Father, Mother, and Baby Bear.


All the stories had different versions of killing off the crafty old woman trespasser:

1. The old woman jumps from the window and is never seen again

2. She ends up being eaten by the baby bear.

3. The bears try first to burn the old woman, then to drown her, and, being unsuccessful in both attempts on her life, finally "chuck her aloft and impale her on St. Paul's church-yard steeple."


A more modern story:

The 1997 opera's setting is the Forest Assizes where Baby Bear stands accused of assaulting Miss Goldie Locks. The tables are turned when the defense limns the trauma suffered by the bears at the hands of that "brazen little crook", Goldilocks.

Ursa said...

Bear cubs are born toothless, blind, and bald.

^^

toothless = Toothy wasn't at birth

blind = Cub's birth is in a blind vice

bald = lacking adornment, plain

Happily Ever After might take a while said...

So how is the crafty old interfering beard gonna get knocked out of the picture? Will she jump ship on her own accord? Get eaten alive by an innocent baby? Be burned, drowned, tossed away and skewered for everyone to see, by the two males? Something will happen eventually.

Btw St. Paul is the patron saint of London and Rome.

Special K said...

ASDF, I never thought about but you are right Ja-cub. And the connection the three bears and Goldilocks that's would be a clever way of saying more about the situation. I had never heard the story about the old woman morphing into a young girl but that also makes sense as Reese has tried to get a younger hipper look fashion wise.

And Ursa, the bear cub thing, that's really interesting, about the toothless, blind and bald. The lacking adornment could be how lowkey and under the radar the birth could have been.

Wicked said...

Thanks for the Raveonettes today!

I think we've had a song from every one of their records on the blog at this point.

Re Ted- I haven't really cared what Ted says about TT for a while now. I don't think he has any sources and he's just regurgitating old stuff. I also think people read way too much into what he says and the way he says things. I can't do that kind of analysis.
