Hugh again?

First it was Hugh Jackman, now Hugh Laurie.


Last night on House.
House: "I quit."

Foreman: "You CAN'T quit."

House: "I think you're confusing me with Jake Gyllenhaal."


OMG's feels because of its commitment to serving the general public, we must help clear up the Hugh's who. You can see where it could be tough. Both Hugh Laurie and Jake have been in Ang Lee movies. And Both are triple threats (acting, singing, dancing,) But we'll make this simple.


This is Hugh Laurie
And this is Jake


This is not Jake


And this is not Hugh Laurie.
This is Jake Gyllenhaal. Wait wait this is Hugh .



This is Jake

Hugh plays a hardened physician who's uses pharmaceuticals.

Jake plays a pharmaceutical salesman who sells hardeners to physicians.



So just to reiterate.


This not Hugh Jackman

This is not Hugh Laurie.

This is not Jake Gyllenhaal.
And this is not Hugh Jackman, Hugh Laurie, or Jake Gyllenhaal, despite the sign.

Very funny - great post! :)

This one is out of the ballpark Special, very funny.

I would have normally been watching House if not for OTH.

sienna said...

good one! loved it. :)

m said...

Hardeners to physicians. Hilarious. Very clever.

It took me a minute to get the House joke. I must be getting slow in my old age.

I noticed all the guys on OTH have shaved chests. I prefer the natural look myself, unless the guy is a gorilla. Then I can see the need to shave.

And yes, I do think Ted's use of the word epic re Toothy coming out was significant. Ted's biggest talent is choosing just the right word. Almost always dual meanings. I do marvel at how he does that.

I love Austin's chest.

It's funny, I am really big on the natural look, and am not a fan of all the landscaping people do these days. And I totally agree that someone like Jake looks best natural, and can't imagine him waxing his chest. But that being said, my personal preference is for guys with little or no hair on the chest, which is one reason why I prefer Austin. I kind of wonder if he just doesn't have that much to begin with and thinks it looks better to wax what little he has.

And sometimes I see men with chest hair where the growth pattern is kind of uneven or odd.

But for all the guys to have that look on OTH? I'm assuming it has to do with the fact the audience probably contains a lot of teenage girls who'd rather have boys than men.

Gorillas in the Mist said...

I like hairy, but just right hairy, like Jake. ;) Chest, face, arms, legs - I don't like too much landscaping, it makes a man look too boyish in my mind.

prairiegirl said...

I say no to sealskin, guys!!!

Just say no to sealskin!

I'm like m. Please give me a little chest hair; that's my only deal with Buckles. Let it grow, bud. Let's have the trail.

lol. Well, I had to give my opinion. I'm supposed to be working.

SYL!

Mika comes out as bisexual

destiny said...

LOL you cracked me up PG. Good thing I was not drinking anything. I already spewed coffee all over my computer this morning (and myself, sadly) while reading why people booed last night's opera at the Met.

Thanks :) for the link. I found it especially interesting to get this right after Special's post on Sunday about the Lebanese gay rights organization.

destiny said...

By the way PG, agree with you about Buckley, I do think he would be better off with hair given his looks. With some men I do find it a bit jarring to not see any--like Jon Bon Jovi.

prairiegirl said...

Jon Bon Jovi is smooth & shiny, too?! Man, what is the deal.

Yeah, what's funny, destiny, is that Buckles has more hair in his eyebrows than anywhere else on his little bod.

I agree with Gorillas in the Mist. Jake has it just right, as long as he's not waxing the legs.

I told vespy that I bet the guys on OTH use more razors & wax than the girls.

OK, gotta go to the ballgame. Royals vs Bosox. We shall see, Special, we shall see!

Atticus said...

I don't wax! I have a naturally thick, hairy chest and sexy furry legs!

Buckles said...

LOL Atti.

Holiday said...

I wonder if I should ask for the day off tomorrow?

Holiday Weds 9-23

WARNING said...

This proves it: Reeke is going to set the world on fire.

Special K said...

Back in the fair business, and leading a group of ladies with an average of 71 back into the craft work(sweat)shop. :D

So the question of the day: Could Reese just confuse Hugh for Jake instead? He's a tea drinker too. Not sure if he likes yogurt though.

Jake said...

Where is everyone? I need more bearding suggestions! Heath talk! Bad names for the Bitchface!

*crickets* said...

But, this is your fandom now, Mr. Witherspoon.

Jake said...

Huh. I better ask Reese how to fix it.

abc said...

How to fix it? Dumping the beard would be a good start!

HazMat said...

Dump the beard only at authorized hazardous waste locations. Give a Hoot! Don't Pollute!

ihj said...

More US Open photos

HazMat said...

Oh wait.. are we talking about Reese Witheredpoon? We don't have a site remote enough or a hole deep enough to handle that mess. Sorry. Maybe you can ask NASA to put her on the next shuttle launch?

aliens said...

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo

prairiegirl said...

Sorry about that game last night, Special. We have nothing better to do than be a spoiler team, I guess. But it sounds like it didn't affect the Sox any, right?

Don't you just hate spoiler teams? I always did, lol.

Great item at the ballpark last night: cheesy corn.

And yeah, there were alot of BoSox fans out there.

Ted said...

Dear Ted:
The two questions about Viggo Mortensen and Orlando Bloom one after the other in the last column got me thinking: anything going on between the two of them back in the day? (Orli was way too pretty to be straight, right?) Or any other vintage LOTR cast scoop? Thanks, and I hope things get better for you soon.

Dear Lord of the Fellas:
And Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger had a hot affair just because they starred in Brokeback Mountain together, too, right?

Awful Truth

Buckles said...

Reese seems to be a weapon of mass destruction, maybe you could send her to Afghanistan Jake.

prairiegirl said...

Hey, I received an email from Clarity this morning and you know she lives in Atlanta where they are having all of that just horrific flooding. She's hanging in there but she says it's a mess.

So I thought we could all kind of lift her up in our thoughts and/or prayers today that she remains safe. I reminded her about standing water. That stuff (even if you're not driving) is so dangerous when flooding happens like it is right now in Atlanta.

Kansas City had bad floods years ago and I can remember seeing the fields so overflown because the rivers just over ran their banks. It's a terrible thing to see.

(((Clarity)))

asdf said...

Clarity, I don't know you but I hope everything will be ok. Take care.

destiny said...

(((Clarity))). Hoping you and your family keep safe and dry.

Special K said...

I was thinking of Clarity as I was watching the news last night. Thanks PG for passing on the news that she is ok.

(((Clarity))) - sending you my thoughts and prayers.
