Tout arrive en France

Interviews with snap bracelets, showing some shoe, singing The Bee Gees, a walk in the park. It all happened in France.

Do you remember these from France too?

France 2007

Who is that cafe companion in the beanie?

Where did he get the blue striped bag come from? And was that insulated bag meals for a Gyllenhaal or a Gyllensmall?


Maybe François de La Rochefoucauld was onto something.

Oops!

Great find. Did the nanny or Austin leave a bag behind on the train?

Ohhhhhhhhh Ted said...

Awwww . . . love this. :)

Florida Tom said...

OK I just saw the video in the park Ava def knows that woman a kid her age would not walk like that up to a stranger.

Ok now what is my thick head missing in todays post.

Am I Blue said...

The baby in that stroller is a little boy - the blue star, the blue blankie or sweater on the stroller seat. What a cutie! I agree, children are warned about strangers from an early age - so the fact that Ava approached the woman with the baby, with the entire entourage present, says something. :)

Clay said...

ONTD - Clay Aiken chillin with his boyfriend in St Lucia

Am I Blue said...

Awww . . . nice. Clay's BF has beautiful eyes.

That's definitely a baby stroller too - I know that sometimes a toddler will get tired and their parents will put them in a stroller, but that's not a regular thing. This is a baby stroller. And a very baby blue.

what said...

is that Clay or some female drama teacher.

Craft: "craft la was full of celebrities on monday, jan 11. had lunch there, along with jake gyllenhaal, billy crystal and robert duvall. Jake was with an older woman and another guy -- it looked like a work meeting. billy was hanging out with some old comedy friends." [StarWatch Inbox]

8. M Cafe: "I noticed Maggie Gyllenhaal with daughter at M Café Melrose on Monday. She was seen ordering a lot of to-go items." [StarWatch Inbox]

ok. i finally found the video link 3-4 pages back at wft2 and watched it an embarrassing number of times and here's what i see: nothing.

ava runs up to the lady in the white slacks who is obviously part of their little entourage. as she gets close and begins to slow down, she touches her face, hair, etc, and then kinda waves her hand in the air by her head. it looks - at first - as if she is touching the lady, but i do not believe she does touch her. she glances very casually in the lady's general direction, the woman does not acknowledge her at all, and they all continue on.

there is nothing about ava's expression to indicate she knows this woman or the baby. also, i do not believe that the woman would totally ignore ava as if she didn't know her if she - in fact - did. she could at least look down and smile, which would be within the realm of stranger/stranger interaction.

i believe ava just dashed up to be with her nanny (or whoever the entourage lady is), brushed her hair back, did some little dramatic fling thing with her hand while looking in the general direction of the other woman. i can not get any more out of it than that.

jmho. s.

ps: i will have my associate review it and get her opinion as well. i doubt her take will be different, but who knows? neither of us have any reason to be less than truthful about what we see.

prairiegirl said...

Appreciate your take on it, sienna.

That's not what I see. And I watched it plenty of times. But the truth is in each viewer's eyes. I don't think any one person's view is any more or any less truthful than anyone else's. We see what we believe we see.

There's alot of other legwork behind all of this, not just this video. But this video did it for me, on top of everything else.

There's a reason why Jake's eyes & reaction were so livid in those couple of pictures where he's not even driving that car, he's a passenger.

Is it possible to post pictures that are clickable (click for full size) since they are posted at such a small size? It's hard to see the details.

prairiegirl said...

Great find. Did the nanny or Austin leave a bag behind on the train?

I missed this. Did a bag reappear somewhere?

Special K said...

No ideas who might be sitting with Jake at French cafe? Click on the picture and you can see it better.

I have mine ideas of someone who has worn a similar kind of hat and to cover something that might give him away.

Special K said...

Didn't realize the pictures weren't clickable. I will have to look into why that's not working.

prairiegirl said...

I tried looking at that picture, Special, but I could barely make out a head. I can tell clearly that's Jake but I can't see too much else.

I love this song!

Special K said...

I am trying to figure out what changed with blogger. I used never had a problem with uploading pictures. Maybe it is the browser I was using.

m said...

Well, I finally read all the comments viewed the videos etc. I believe in Baby Tile, did so even before seeing or reading any of the latest WFT analysis, so I am not totally objective. What stood out to me though is that Reese let Ava run pretty far ahead in that video. I don't see a mother doing that unless the people Ava is running to or with are known to her.

Looks like Clay Aiken has a pretty cute boyfriend. Glad to see things working out or him. He looks a bit like Jake to me. Big blue eyes.

bt said...

Sienna, the interesting part is that the same blonde woman with baby in the video appears photographed with Jake in LA in 2007 so she worked for him as an assistant in the past. Also, it’s not just the video but a picture of the set in Paris where a baby stroller is unloaded from their car (Deacon was almost 5 back then. He is too old for a stroller and we’ve never ever seen him in a stroller since Reeeke started). There is also a picture where Jake has very characteristic baby dribble stains on the shoulder area of his sweater and another picture where he had a baby footprint stain on his shorts. These are some examples but there were other sightings and the excessive privacy requirements when he films on location that are suspicious too. A lot of things add up.

Meg said...

Although all this BT investigation is very interesting and convincing, don't you all worry that all this chat may scare Jake's PR to force him into another bearding set-up. Or worst still, restart the reeking. The poor guy is probably only beginning to recover from the horror of the past few years, lets be careful not to send him back to the beard.

prairiegirl said...

I know, Meg, I totally hear what you're saying.

It's unfortunate that we're not always free to discuss something like this because of lurking eyes. Which is what's nice about the chat room, emailing and phone calling. But those options are not always possible and they can't always include everyone. Which is what's so frustrating!

Good morning to you and how are things in the big S? As usual, you're right on top of it.

prairiegirl said...

Thanks, walkin for those stills. I'm going with my first gut reaction when I saw that video. Once you watch it 25 times, I think it loses its impact or something. Those stills emphasize what I believe I saw.

Some of you guys are amazing with your video/picture know how. I need to learn some of this stuff.

Ted said...

Dear Ted:
Is Dwayne Johnson Toothy Tile? I could not help notice his teeth do look like bathroom tiles, they are so big and white.
—Ingrid

Dear Tooth Fairy:
No, Toothy isn't that steroid-looking. Like, at all (at least not in real life).


Dear Ted:
I love the Toothy Tile saga, but one thing really puzzles me: Why doesn't Toothy tell the public about Baby Tile. Is it because he values his privacy and wants to protect his child (or children) from the paparazzi? Or is it because he's protecting that closet of his? And if the latter, what kind of parent does that to their own child?
—Wondering in New York

Dear Ask Candy Spelling:
She could probably 'splain a thing or two about how public figures treat their own kids. But obviously Toothy wants to barricade himself in that cozy preppy closet of his. If he tells the public about Baby Tile, then that sweet little kid (not to mention's Toothy's supposedly bachelor ways) will be stalkarazzi'd no matter what.


Dear Ted:
Can you please give a hint as to which B.V. Reese Witherspoon has been the star of? I know it can't be a major hint....but just a little one...? And what's the deal with Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon splitting up?
—JK

Dear Love Is Blind:
Reese has been in a B.V. more than once. As for Tim and Susan…if Gyllenspoon can split, then anything is possible, right?

The Awful Truth

Special K said...

Meg. It totally agree. I must say I was really reluctant to do the post like I did.

Florida Tom said...

I am a little sad today. My last day as Florida Tom for a while. Headed back to reality. Cold and work. Oh my! Long ride ahead.

Looks like Ted is aware of the debate around keeping BT in the closet and he kinda is giving both explanations of it something to bite on. I am sure he is right. Jake has tried to walk a thin line between his professional and personnal like. I still say it is mostly for professional reasons though. Thats is not good but hopefully if this kid exists he is doing his best to see he has a normal life. He cannot do it forever though.

Florida Tom said...

Meg and SK hopefully the experience was so bad he will never do it again. Austin has a better set up. He is bearding with a friend and co workwer.

Special K said...

I wasn't talking about that Tom. I was talking about my reluctance about making the post with a focus on the BT. It comes down to safety, and what Ted was talking about.

destiny said...

I wrote the Toothy letter to Ted because all our discussion got me to wondering what Ted would say. He sure was quick to use it!

I take it that his reference to Candy Spelling is to what kind of parent Jake is--which is not a good comparison.

Ted says kid, so that makes it sound like there is just one.

I also think it is important to note that he says Toothy's "supposedly bachelor ways" will be stalked--i.e., the hunt will be on to prove he is gay. He's not saying Toothy and Goose would be stalked if they were out and about together.

destiny said...

I personally see no issues with our talking about all this evidence and making it part of a post. Jake put himself in this situation by living in the closet and hiding his own child. If he's dumb enough to do all of this, and dumb enough to then take some action in reaction to what was found this week, well, I don't feel sorry for him at all .

And while I do think people should have the right to come out in the manner and the time that works for them, I believe that public figures, actors as well as politicians, do a lot of harm when they beard, and imo they deserve to be outed.

Stubborn TB said...

I kept out of this discussion so far because I don't like the idea of BT being followed by paparazzi, but I think everyone knows my opinion about BT anyway.

I just wanted to comment on what you said Destiny:
No matter what you think about Jake, I think we should remember that if BT exists there's an innocent person involved that does not deserve to be stalked or harassed. Regardless of what Jake did or didn't do.
You're free to feel Jake deserved anything that comes to him, but if this week has a begative reaction for BT, I would free extremely sorry for him/her.

I think that was what Meg and Special were referring to, but I might be wrong.

Stubborn TB said...

make that negative instead of begative...

Bonnie Fuller, queen of the tabloids, wrote a whole article about how children will be left alone and their pictures won't be used unless the celebrity involved okays it.

Funny how when it came to Reese this was talked about ad naseum, and how it meant that Reese was okaying everything and using her children, and how awful she was for doing that when she could keep her kids away from the media.

But then when it comes to Jake, its oh, he'll have no control over it and everyone will see that BT looks like and put him or her in danger. Jake is suuuch a big star that he's the only person in all of HW who gets a pass on treating his child like some freak that has to be hidden away back home.

All Jake would have to do is like Ricky or Clay, and give the media some good pictures, heck, he could even sell them and make some of that money he thinks he can't get without bearding, and that would be that.

It's the lure of the unknown that draws out the paps. It's the catching him with a guy, getting a glimpse of a baby nobody has ever seen, etc.

destiny said...

Jake could also just simply move out of L.A. But you know what, he doesn't want that, because he wants to go out and get himself papped when it suits him. He doesn't want to give up that limelight of being seen at all the right restaurants with the right people.

Nobody is going to photograph you and write about seeing you if you go live somwhere else, like Connecticut, Texas, Florida, Idaho, New Mexico.

Special K said...

I think that was what Meg and Special were referring to, but I might be wrong.

You are not wrong Stubborn. That was what I was referring to. It might not have come off as clear in type as it was in my head when I wrote it.

sienna said...

Destiny - i can tell you are really not in the "I Love Jake!" camp today!! =D I've been there a lot recently myself, so i know where you are coming from. It's so frustrating to watch something unfold in such a backwards and f'd up way, going against what you think and feel would be so much better, more forward-thinking, etc. Unfortunately, that's the lot of folks like us who choose to get interested in folks outside the realm of our influence. *le sigh*

Anyway: #1 - i think Ted and his continued promotion of baby tile matters a lot more than anything we say here. The AT and WTF2 have much bigger audiences than OMG. (And i'm glad cuz otherwise we'd get lost in the shuffle.) So i don't think anyone should feel guilty or ashamed for what is said here. We are, imo, a drop in the bucket. Sometimes ya'll have thought PR did stuff becuase of what we said, but we were saying the same stuff a lot of other folks were saying. It's not like we hated Reeke and the whole rest of the world love it!

I am fully convinced that Jake will beard again, because he's certainly not in a secure enough place to feel certain of his career future and the gay rumors did not get chased away. I bet next time he'll pick a sexy girl (brain storm) that we might could envision him getting a little fired up over. That would've probably been a better move in the first place, but Reese was convenient, so there you go.

WTF2... hahahaha - freudian slip. u knows what i mean! :)

Stubborn TB said...

Magazines might not run pictures of celeb kids, but it's only a small fraction of pap pics that even make it in there to begin with.
Magazines are hardly the big thing for paps anymore, the internet is.

As for people not taking pics of kids, do you really think so? Did you look through some of sets of celebs with their kids out there? Almost all of them now have at least a few pictures of just the kids.
Look at Levi (McBongos son): I can't even say for how many sets in a row has he been pictured out with just his non-famous grandma(s) in the last few weeks.
Paps go after what sells and unfortunately right now that's kids.

Again, regardless of what you think of Jake handling BT in the way he did, the child doesn't deserve to get any of the negative reactions this week might cause.

I know I've stated my opinion on this before, but I want to remind people that Jake got death threats for PLAYING a gay man.
There's no telling how far people will go about him BEING a gay man. And even worse, all the bullshit about converting innocent children to the sinful lifestyle and yada, yada, yada.
Jake and Austin had the chance to try and avoid that and they took it, IMO.


And that's all I'm going to say on this topic because it's pretty pointless to me. Unless one side changes their opinion on this, we'll never agree. And the chance of that happening is pretty slim ;)
