Turkey's done

For a lot of us, today is filled with cooking, getting ready for friends and family,or traveling to celebrate Thanksgiving with friends or family tomorrow. Austin is no different as he is heading home after a successful USO Tour. Don't know where Jake will be celebrating Thanksgiving yet, but you'd think with his love of cooking he has something he was wants to make and bring wherever he celebrates. Just think the only thing he won't share is his Wild Turkey.


Speaking of Wild Turkey. Going back for thirds because there's more Turkey to feast on.



Austin Sophia and Milo stopped by the Incirlik and Izmir Air Bases in Turkey to show their appreciation to the Airmen of the 39th Security Forces Squadron.






Part of the tour allowed them to meet the law enforcement desk of the base and a chance to airmen and other personnel signing autographs and checking out flack gear that is used in the field.

No doubt the airmen, civilians and their familie appreciated the visit especially so close to Thanksgiving bringing a little taste of home. But would suspect that Austin Sophia and Milo got even more from the trip and giving back. All will have lasting impressions.


With Turkey done it looks like our favorite bird is flying home today and after a long flight will be able to celebrate Thanksgiving with his family and friends.


And what's Thanksgiving without seconds. Here's Jake with Ben Lyons.









That shirt Jake's got on looks a little familiar. Funny who seems to be fan of grey too? Goose if I know.

Safe travel to all those who are heading to family and friends today, and good luck to all those cooking. (Myself included, as I soon will be off to make the pumpkin pie for tomorrow's festivities.)

Dear Ted:
Is Whore-Hey Hoeman, Anderson Cooper? Are Judas Jack-Off and Dashed Dingle-Dream, Jake Gyllenhaal and Austin Nichols? Thanks, and I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Dear Guessing Game:
Wrong guesses, babe! But all of them have obviously been Vicers, you've just got the wrong pairings. Happy T-Day to you, too!


Dear Ted:
My friend knew Taylor Lautner back in the day when they were in the same karate circuit, and he tells me that Taylor was really cocky and arrogant, just a total d-bag. Is he still the same way? Because after seeing New Moon, I so want to be on Team Jacob, but not if he isn't the sweet guy he acts like he is. Not buying the whole Tay-Squared deal either. Lots of love!
—V.D.O.

Dear Jocking Jacob:
Every time we've chatted with Taylor he's been a doll. But those usually arethe fishy types, when they're all Reese Witherspoon-y. Still, haven't heard much about Lautner's being like that. Tell your friend to cut him some slack—we were all idiots at some point back in the day.

Bitch-Back! Was Sweet Taylor Ever a Li'l A-Hole?

Dear Ted:
I thought One Tree Hill was just a handy closet for storing beards and boyfriends whilst not in use. Are you telling us the star of one of your Blind Vices also lurks there? If so, is it someone we thought was just a bit player, or did Chad Michael Murray manage to keep one of his exploits out of the tabloids?
—Curious Kate

Dear Nice Try:
Hmmm, I feel like if I answer this question, it'll be giving too much away.

just out of curiosity...

i know that many of us harbor some ill will towards reese because she's screwed up our plans for jakey, and while i was driving the bus on that hate convoy for a while, i've really been trying (and happily, succeeding) in getting my animosity in check.

i'm not going to turn into a reese fan - no worries there - but i'm trying to be more fair towards her. so i'm curious: whenever i see her mentioned in casual, off-the-cuff comments, she's usually being portrayed in a less than favorable light.

does anybody have the scoop on that? i mean - she has played some really likeable characters in her movies, and so it's almost confusing to think of her as such an opposite personality in RL.

one of the things that i find endearing about jake (altho it's probably not a great comment about his acting skills) is that he always seems the same in both his movies and his interviews. this past weekend, i went to visit my BFF in FL and we watched DD, which i'd never seen, and Proof, which i'd seen once before. DD was awesome!! I can't believe i've never watched it before. And while Proof isn't great by any stretch, i love Jake in it. He's so adorable... :)

I got to thinking about it, and i think that that very personal facet of jake's acting is part of why many of us have felt so betrayed by him. After watching him act, you really do feel like you know him, and then his interviews and guest appearances just reinforce that. Then, he does a 180 from who you thought you knew, turning mean and hostile which is totally not jake, and hanging out with a woman who has a rep for being Mrs. Unpleasant and dragging us through years of... WHAT?

I am still boggled by the fact that Reeke has lasted this long with zero change or progress. Real or fake, they have to be the most stale couple in the history of the world.

Based on what i read here, it seems that many of ya'll think that his this/the slip up was an initial ref to his job of reekeing, while what he was supposed to say was that getting papped was part of the job of being an actor. If he had just let it go, no one would've thought much about it. It does seem odd that he couldn't be satisfied with that one inconsequential word but felt the need to change it.

Anyway, i'm just blabbing. Watching the movies the other night really helped remind me why i liked him so much for a while.

What do ya'll make of the dearth of reeke photos lately? I find it very strange that the paps have hunted them down relentlessly for years and that now, all of a sudden, they've become invisible.

How long was he "with" Kirstin b4 they called it quits? S.

So glad you got to see Donnie Darko, DD is on my top ten movies list. It's Jakes first iconic role, just like in BBM, you can't think of anyone else as Donnie except Jake.

:) said...

They haven't.

Paparazzi were interested in the beginning (Reeke playing "are they dating or not?" game), but Reeke are using hot paparazzi spots and arranged so many photo ops that it just looks like paparazzi are after them.

Special K said...

Just in case this got missed in all the Jake interviews coming out. Here's Jake talking about making PoP, during one of his interviews for Brothers.

Filming PoP was Extraordinary

Sienna,

don't miss this new, short interview.

Brothers said...

ComingSoon.net attended the New York City press conference for the movie with Maguire, Gyllenhaal and Portman all in attendance, along with director Jim Sheridan and producer Ryan Kavanaugh.

Maguire, Gyllenhaal and Portman on Brothers

huh? said...

:) Wait is that the same interview in today's post or a new one?

m said...

I think someone already summarized Reeke and the paparazzi. They were put on the payroll. It was a manufactured interest after the first wave. PR expected the next Jolie/Pitt. Fans said no thanks, don't like them together, boring to boot. I don't spend any time reading about R, but from reading comments here and at WFT over the years its seems that most directors, actors who have worked with her dislike her when its over. Bitchy, arrogant, controlling, no sense of humor are buzz words. Tolerated when she had box office clout, but not any longer.

I am keeping my fingers crossed for a new biking picture. Seems like its about time.

sienna said...

a new biking picture would be awesome, as would some pics of jake bed-heading around nyc with some of his old buds. i miss those pics, when he just seemed like a normal guy that maybe would be fun to know, and not some hot shot movie star that wouldn't give a crap about you, and therefore vice versa.

it's hard for me to like someone who i feel wouldn't give me the time of day, and that's one of the things that has made me sad about jake lately. he's lost his 'approachable appeal.' i don't blame him - in a way - i don't want to speak to everyone i see either, but it was nice to think of him as the guy next door, if that makes any sense.

i wonder if some of his sad faces lately are because of having to deal with her all the time. controlling people can really get old after a while, esp when you don't really love them and want to be with them.

hugs. s.

Same interview. Sorry, YouTube is blocked at work, just thought that Sienna would enjoy it.

He's pretty cool." my son, who didn't know who he was, said he chatted w him throughout the game. augh! so pissed i missed that game.

Special K said...

Don't you hate when you get ready to make something and you find out you are missing just one spice, but without it won't be the same. Damn you ground cloves. Am I going back to the store today? Are you crazy? This is when you call the family and say you want pumpkin pie bring me some ground cloves.

Special K said...

...."sitting next to this movie dude Jake from Brokeback Mountain. He's pretty cool." my son, who didn't know who he was, said he chatted w him throughout the game. augh! so pissed i missed that game.

Gotta love it. And you know Jake probably loved the fact that the kid didn't know who he was.

Jake talking about shooting Love and Other Drugs the night before the press conference for Brothers

Not everything's 'Jake' on the set of "Love & Other Drugs"

Everything's Jake - means everything's good.

Looks like Ted is saying a lot with this one. Not only saying Jake and Austin are BV's but calling them a pairing. Sounds like Ted is saying in his own special Ted way - they are still together.

Reese will be in the UK next week said...

Geoff from twitter is in NY at the moment, being a TV freelancer maybe he will be cover the L.A. premiere of Brothers or maybe he means back in the UK next week.

Jake is scheduled to be on Jimmy Kimmel on the 3rd in New York

Reese is scheduled to be on Jonathan Ross in the UK on the 4th

Jimmy Kimmel films in LA.

I thought he was almost incoherent at the Brothers premiere press conference.

Which one was that, Tom? The only Brothers press conference I've seen is the little video Wells put up on his site and it was only Tobey speaking.



I was refering to what I read. What Jake said made little sense.

Some new biking pics would be sweet Sienna.

sienna said...

tom... they certainly would. i understand your disappointment with him and i hope that you (and I) have some better days ahead. i truly believe this is just as bad phase and that things will get better soon. don't give up hope! :)

Special K said...

Natalie was on David Letterman, and Dave liked Brothers, he couldn't say enough good things about it. Even if he was a little fuzzy on who Jake's brother was in the movie.

Adam was the musical guest, did a great job,

Websters said...

What Jake said made little sense.

It's called Gyllenbabble. That is, the original, beautiful, adorable meaning of the word. Before some unoriginal, hetero-hallucinating homophobic fangurl freaks stole it, used it as a vehicle for their worship of smelly bitchface egomaniacal greasy Reesey and turned it into a disgusting reference.

^Panties bunched because Jake is still with Reese? You'll be saying the same thing in three years time if this blog is still around...

Panties bunched because Jake doesn't talk about the beard?

Pap pics with the beard is part of this job.
