Speaking of concerts, do you remember these old sightings of Jake and Austin (in crutches) at the Death Cab for Cutie concert? I don't have the link but I saved the comments:
ReplyDeleteAugust 14, 2006
Jake was at a Death Cab for Cutie concert with a guy on cruches.
-yep, we saw him there. he was like 3 rows behind us. in all black, hat, shirt, and jeans. with a guy in crutches. so hot, dancing up a storm. yummmm!.
-Saw him there backstage with his date, some guy in crutches.
-he was there. actually was dancing to the beat! he's quite good and much cuter in person. the guy on crunches was austin nichols... when the slow songs were playing, jake was holding up his blackberry for someone on the other line to hear...
- Saw Austin and Jake at the concert and they were mighty fine lookin. They were most certainly on a date and Jake was swaying to the music and kept looking at Austin. Wish I had had my camera becuz I wanted a photograph of the two hot men on a date.
I remember that. Thanks for jog down memory lan.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny how they are out and no mention of any PDA and people still knew it was a data, yet all the PDA of their fauxmances can't convince anyone?
That was the summer after they had split for a bit and Jake was the Sad Wolfie Boy moping in NY and then out with Matt and Lance.
And people were saying they weren't together. And then we got that mention at Death Cab for Cutie and Jake spotted with someone who had crutches, then there was a mention with Jake buying DVD's with a guy on crutches over on Defamer, and there was the sighting of crutches and Jake in NYC.
The next summer when JFC was coming out and doing press he talked about being on crutches, up until then it was all speculation about Austin with him, but Austin pretty much confirmed it. Sometimes it just takes times.
Another concert. Remember them going to U2? That was back in November of 2005.
Wow, awesome. I've never seen those comments before.
ReplyDeleteJust like we predicted in an earlier blind, this couple just broke up. The relationship was doomed from the start, but don’t give up on them just yet. The couple has more to milk out of the relationship, at least from the girl’s perspective. We know we say a lot of couples and celebs pull stunts for PR reasons, but that’s just the way it works in Hollywood. Although this girl has an additional motive, she wants the world to know she’s a whole lot better than the boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend. Not Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel. (BuzzFoto)
ReplyDeleteReese Witherspoon & Jakey Gyllenhaal? Or Abbie Cornish & Ryan Phillipe? Speaking of, when is the world finally going to get a Jakey & Ryan coupling? Or even an Abbie & Reese coupling? It's bound to happen.
First time I've read the Death Cab for Cutie sightings. But, how could Jake go from being out at concerts and NYC with Austin and not caring who saw in Aug. 2006, to agreeing to beard and starting the showmance in Dec. 2006. How could he have changed his disposition so quickly? and why?
ReplyDeleteOh Spesh, even if you don't want to believe, that person behind Jake at U2 is Chris. Look at the head, the hair, the footwear. Good try though.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember ever seeing those comments to the Death Cab for Cutie sighing either. And I remember we argued for weeks as to whether it was Austin. Don't know that we would have done that if we had all those comments. Where were all those comments??
ReplyDeleteThe Gawker or Defamer sighting did explicitly mention Jake with Austin on crutches at a Virgin Record store looking at the dvds, and said Jerry Seinfeld was in the store too. Now that one caused an uproar, with someone claiming it was made up sighting, and Defamer said they had no reason to believe it wasn't true and left it up.
I'll tell you why I think Jake changed so fast: PoP and $. To me it's the only thing that would explain such an abrupt change.
Chris was working a Babbo in NYC at the time. Austin had very dark hair at the time, check the pictures of Jake and Austin at the Casanova Premiere a week later.how Austin's hair was. He had it dark for a small movie he was doing, called Kate Smile.
ReplyDeleteWhy the change? The light bearding really started in March 2007. Which would be the time that Baby T would have been past the first trimester if Baby T, was born in October of 2007.
Sorry it couldn't have been PoP back then. Newell who was the person who wanted Jake for PoP was not attached to direct PoP at that time, he wasn't brought on until 2008. Michael Bay was first attached as a director for Prince of Persia,back then.
ReplyDeleteWith all due respect it could have been POP. Most HW projects are kicked around for years and years, script written or not. POP could have been in the wind and Jake sniffed a future opportunity.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but PoP could have been in the wind just doesn't have that strong of an argument, I have to say.
ReplyDeleteCould have been a mixture of both, maybe.
It was definitely kicking around.
ReplyDeleteBruckheimer acquired the rights in 2004. In February 2006 Disney hired a new script writer, and it added the movie to their lineup in early 2007. Negotiations with Newell started in November of 2007.
Wiki
Personally I never completely trust anyone promoting a movie when they talk about why they hired the people who worked on it. Not to mention, if Newell was in talks by late 2007, it is quite likely he was gunning for it long before then, and may have had talks with Jake and Bruckheimer long before signing on.
On May 20, 2008, it was announced that Jake Gyllenhaal is to portray Dastan, the protagonist of the film. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer explained his choice, "He's a wonderful actor. He's someone I've been watching for a long time and somebody I've always wanted to work with."
ReplyDeleteSo who is telling the truth, Newell who said he wanted Jake, or Bruckheimer, who has been attached since 2004? Could be either one, or both could be telling the truth too.
Until we get that tell-all book, Jake bearding for PoP is as good an explanation as any other.
2004 was when Bruck acquired the rights; who knows how long it had been floating around before then. People buy the rights for a specific period of time and when they don't do anything with it, it goes back on the market. Some projects have been hanging around longer than a hooker at a truck stop.
ReplyDeleteThis is from Film magazine where Newell talks about approaching Bruckheimer with Jake's name.
ReplyDeleteFilm Magazine Scan - IHJ
I know a lot people like the idea of Disney making Jake beard or that Jake sold out to get PoP. But looking at the time line of when the really chatter started up with Reese (March/April 2007) and when it really set up October AFTER Rendition opened, the timing of it looks like it was more for personal reasons, such as Baby Tile than really was about role or a studio requiring him too.
Not that it didn't hurt, professional, but it really doesn't seem to be the true motivation of why beard when.
^professional = professionally
ReplyDeleteI don't remember ever seeing those comments to the Death Cab for Cutie sighing either. And I remember we argued for weeks as to whether it was Austin. Don't know that we would have done that if we had all those comments. Where were all those comments??
ReplyDeleteI do remember these comments being discussed back when they first came out.
But as usual a lot of people tried to convince us that they were fake, just like they said that the crutches lying behind Jake in that fanpic weren't Austins. And just like that Defamer sighting wasn't true.
And then out of thin air Austin confirmed that he had crutches during that time, and suddenly the same people arguing that it was all made up didn't post anymore.
Oh Spesh, even if you don't want to believe, that person behind Jake at U2 is Chris. Look at the head, the hair, the footwear. Good try though.
Special already listed a lot of reasons why it's Austin and not Chris, but I want to add: Since when is Chris so much taller than Jake? Jake is in front of the guy, so the perspective should give him a few inches if anything. Not the guy walking behind him.
I also have to agree with Special about the reasons for the bearding. The timeline works a lot better with BT than PoP, Reeke basically started shortly after BT was born.
And I also think that Reeke ending before PoP comes out doesn't really make it too convincing that it was for PoP. I know, the release was pushed back, but if Jake supposedly hired Reese for PoP then you'd think the contract/agreement specified "until PoP is out of the cinemas again", not until this and that date.
Well we know that at one point Jake and Austin were holding hands in restaurants and being pretty open about their relationship, even on the verge of coming out in a magazine article. But we had BBM's award chances, the police/parking lot episode, careers in limbo, Baby Tile, POP etc. All sorts of things that got in the way. But they are only in the way if you allow them to be, and for whatever reason, the guys are just not ready to take the big step.
ReplyDeleteI was over at WDW and they have a radio interview Jake did when doing PR for Jarhead that I never heard before. Amazing how this stuff surfaces eventually. What a difference between him then and during Reeke. I mentioned to PG in an email though that what grabbed my ear was how alike Jake and Austin sounded. We heard Austin do a radio interview earlier this year or last year, I cant recall the date now. Jake's inflections, words, tone of voice was so similar, almost identical.
When Jake's ears start getting bigger and sticking out and Austin grows bushy eyebrows we'll know the coupledom transformation is complete.
ReplyDeletePoP script was out in Summer 2006.

Avatar was casting in 2006 and Cameron's the director not the producer.
ReplyDeleteThanks for that link for the radio interview.
ReplyDeleteYou're right M you can here little things in the interview that are very similar between them.
Dear Ted:
ReplyDeleteWith all the hyped nonrelationship between Jake and Reese, I have to wonder: Were he and Kirsten Dunst ever the real deal?
—B.T.
Dear History Lesson:
Jake and Kirsten were definitely more believable than Gyllenspoon. I can assure you of that.
Dear Ted:
Are Toothy Tile and Grey Goose Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy? If you don't post this, I'll take that as a yes.
—Danni
Dear Posted:
Besides the fact that Jenny is a chick while Goose is far manlier, the comedic couple isn't hiding their relationship which automatically vetoes them as this darned B.V. Points for creative guess, though, babe.
Dear Ted:
Do the friends and families of the closeted stars know their dirty secrets? Are they supportive? If so, the only reason I can see for not coming out is to protect their fame and fortune. And if that is their motivation, it makes me sick and shows a real lack of integrity and self-respect. The gay community works so hard to be accepted by Middle America and deserves the utmost respect for having the courage to live their lives open and proud. I do not believe it is anybody's right to out closeted stars, but I hope they become better role models and stop putting money or celebrity before their dignity.
—O
Dear Not Loud but Proud:
Accepted? Uh, not me. Treated equally might be a better term. But regarding Toothy specifically, his friends and family are in-the-know about his hunger for hot hunks. Unfortunately, until actors aren't worried about losing roles based on who they're porking off the set, they'll stay locked in the closet. Things are looking up though. You may even hear from our pal Toothy soon.
Bitch-Back!
Dear Ted:

B.T.= Baby Tile :)
Ted said: “Things are looking up though. You may even hear from our pal Toothy soon.”
Ted insists that Toothy and Grey Goose are planning to come out.
I noticed that Ted doesn’t give any importance to the Austin and Sophia bearding. It's as if Sophin is just the standard light bearding for publicity between co-stars of Tv shows and movies that has no importance or consequence in the future. Ted says they are fake and bearding but it’s completely different from how Ted saw the Reeke bearding. For Ted, the Sophin bearding is as if it has no relevance to the possibility of Jake and Austin being more open about their relationship or even coming out in the near future. I believe Ted knows that if Reeke ended from one day to another and the chin is now ‘dating’ another guy already for the media, Sophin will not even register in the mainstream and will dissolve into nothing once OTH ends. I interpret Ted's opinion meaning that Austin bearding is just standard Hollywood procedure for a lead role in a tv show and can be undone in a second. It's not a sign that Jake and Austin won't come out in the near future.

ReplyDeleteToothy's getting fed up with having to keep his (currently reinvented) relationship with Grey Goose in the dark and is threatening his publicists and hangers-on with outing both himself and Grey which would then, ironically, ruin Grey's own beard relationship, not that anybody really cares, so never mind.

The bearding started in November 2006 with the tabloid (I believe US) story about how all of Reese's girlfriends were telling her Jake, her next co-star, would be the perfect guy for a revenge relationship. In December we got pictures of Reeke going for their wardrobe fittings for Rendtion, complete with Reese in a pregnancy body suit. That was followed by a People story that Jake got Reese a bicycle for Christmas, sightings of the pair picking up take-out food, and then all those weird photos of them in the summer of 2007.
ReplyDeleteThat timing works very well with it ending at the end of last year. I think it was a two year contract, and got upped a year when PoP got delayed. Remember the angry Reeke pictures out to dinner with Bruckheimer in the fall of 2008?
Maybe all the stuff of Jake and Austin was them having a last hoorah before it went full-blown, or Jake acting out, or Jake thinking he wouldn't get caught, and then after all those TMZ stories and the Borders pictures they really had to shut down.
One thing I will agree with Special, I think BT was another motive for bearding, but for very different reasons than you think. I think Jake and or his people were concerned that if word of a baby got out, his closet would be blown, and/or if people in HW found out they wouldn't use him for a project like PoP because no one in their right mind would think a parent would hide their own child like that. So to prove to the Powers that Be, particularly Disney and Jerry, that he was not going to come out, he went really big with the bearding--an A-List star, full-blown "relationship", stepdad to her kids (all while shamefully hiding his own).
As for the bearding ending before PoP came out, well, Toothy was having a meltdown and the fans reaction to the whole thing was absolutely toxic. Disney had far more to lose by making him continue to beard than by letting him stop.
One question Special. If Jake bearded because of Baby Tile, then why did he stop? If he did it to protect BT, doesn't he still need that protection, under your theory? Shouldn't he have stayed with Reese so her children can provide him with cover for things having to do with children?
ReplyDeleteWell a few reason. I think when Reese showed up for yogurt with her kids, I think she crossed the line and put him and his family at risk. Go back and look at those pictures. He is clearly upset and he is carrying three yogurt containers, and I don't think they were all for him. I think she was trying to get a picture for herself so badly and really didn't care if the baby could have been exposed to the paps or not.
ReplyDeleteAlso if from the clues from Ted are leading to them coming out, he would have to break it off and have some buffer of time to be before coming out.
And thirdly with Austin bearding, it could allow Jake to stop with Reese, while Baby T is still protected.
Ted is pretty adamant that Sophin is purely for OTH/CW purposes.
ReplyDeleteI think it's one reason why he has said very little about Sophin in the past few weeks, and defended Sophia as being "classy". I think Ted has heard or been told by someone that it is all for publicity for the show, not Reeke 2, and that he's not going to make an issue out of it.
It's also why I think Ted said nobody would care if Goose's own bearding would be blown if Toothy came out. That whole post from Ted makes no sense if the reason Austin is bearding is because they are serially bearding. Ted wouldn't say all of that if he thought they were just taking turns bearding.
I don't think Jake would meet up with Reese and her kids solely for the purpose of having yogurt. They were there to get their photos taken, and Jake was pissed about having to do it. The contract was not up, and Jake had to adhere to his contractually agreed-upon duty to turn up for pap photos. And that whole incident fits in with Ted's meltdown post just a few weeks later.
One other thing, if they are doing it to protect BT, does that mean you don't think they are coming out anytime soon, and that they will continue to take turns bearding until BT is an adult?
ReplyDeleteI think the signs are pointing to them coming out sooner than later. While Austin bearding is for CW/OTH, it gave Jake the chance not to have to put up with bearding with Reese. If Sophia can take advantage of the bearding, why can't Austin and Jake take advantage of it too.
ReplyDeleteIf you go back and look Sophia you can see she does tons I mean tons of appearances, and pictures. She has twice as many pictures on Getty, which does pool pictures and a lot of red carpet, than Maggie who has down how many more movies and is a more established star. Sophia always has been about seeking the next level of celebrity since she started out on OTH. She might be classy but she is going after what she wants in no uncertain terms. Seeing pictures of her with Austin you can see that she is clearly the more assertive than Austin about this bearding. Even just interviews on the red carpet she makes sure that she is getting the face time. Austin will answer questions but you can see the energy if very very different between their two styles.
I agree with Special. I think that Sophin is manufactured mostly for the CW/OTH, but it is also very convenient for Austin and Jake and was a big part of what allowed Jake to end Reeke. I think they are buying time until PoP is released. Jake is also having some time off dating anyone so he can move on from his link to Reese. Reese was photographed yesterday again on a date with the CAA agent, it’s clear she is fast creating another romance so that she can also move on from Reeke. I know she wants the publicity a new romance brings, but I wonder if it’s also to lower the impact that if Jake comes out in the near future, she is far away from him and already moved on with another guy.
ReplyDeleteOf course Sophia wants publicity and to get ahead, but in the past she was steered clear of using her relationships to do it. I have absolutely no problem with people selling themselves, it's when they use relationships to sell themselves that it bothers me.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'll agree Sophin is convenient for J&A.
But if the only reason for bearding is to protect BT, why would they throw that all away now and come out?
Is Sophia an actress or a socialite?
ReplyDelete"But if the only reason for bearding is to protect BT, why would they throw that all away now and come out?"
ReplyDeleteMaybe their intention was to protect BT while he was a baby and then come out when he is older. I believe the bearding was for two purposes, one BT and the other giving themselves time to establish their careers so that they can still have a solid one when they decide to come out.
Let me put it another way. Special has repeatedly said that one of the reasons for bearding was so that the paps wouldn't stalk them to get pictures of BT, and that it would just basically be one big circus and that the paps would never leave them alone.
ReplyDeleteThat's not going to change if they come out now, as opposed to a couple of years ago. I would argue it will even be worse, because now you've got to deal with three years of bearding with a big star, and Jake will probably be far better known to the public after PoP comes out. And photos of little kids are much more interesting, and talked about more, than photos of "blobby" babies.
Look at Suri, Ramona and Brangelina's kids, for starter. Not that I don't think those celelbs control access to their kids, I think they do, and I think they all use them for publicity, including Ms. Maggie "I hate the paps and wish they'd go away" Gyllenhaal.
What Special said about Sophia is true. She is very assertive and smart to sell her public image and they are countless pictures of her around. When OTH and Sophin ends, I am sure she’ll move on probably to date another guy more famous than her to try to take her career to a new level. Her connection to Austin will be forgotten or reinvented as ‘remaining close friends’.
ReplyDeleteBonnie Fuller (ex editor of US Reekly) made a video pimping Sophia and trying to get publicity for the renewal of One Tree Hill. Hollywood Life was the site that run the Valentine’s day story. It shows that Just Jared and Hollywood Life are working with Sophia and OTH in their marketing campaign. Selling Sophin is part of how OTH is marketed.
Hollywood Life
"blobby" babies
ReplyDeleteWhat?
If Austin is bearding to protect BT and Jake, why does everyone keep slamming Sophia???
ReplyDeleteI think Jake bearded in part to establish his career, but I think they also wanted to protect BT from homophobia while he was a baby and not so much from the paps. The pap pics are highly controlled by the star's PR so I don't think they will stalk them at all. All the celebrity babies are exposed because their parents use them as their marketing stragegy. I believe that if Jake and Austin come out, their previous relationships will be forgotten by the impact of the news. Once the story is out then it won't be much of a deal, they'd be able to live a normal life if they want to keep the baby out of the public eye. I learnt so much about how publicity works lately. I thought Reeke would never be undone with all the magazine covers and perfect family image, and it suddenly ended and now it is forgotten in just weeks. She is already with another guy. Jaustin can come out tomorrow and it won't be much of a deal from the publicity point of view. People won't question their past relationships or how the baby was kept secret because they'll probably find a PR explanation for it. The audience will accept it and move on to the next story.
ReplyDeleteI am not slamming or criticising Sophia at all. I think the benefit of a showmance is always mutual. I was just pointing the marketing relation between Sophia / OTH and the media.
ReplyDeleteFace it. It's easier, faster and more tabloid-worthy for two people to get PR as a "couple" than as separate individuals. Sex sells far more than a charitable act.
ReplyDeleteI agree with plan. Jake/Austin,tiny Texas family would be a big splash at first but then it would die down with sporadic pictures now & then. Jake & Austin would not be as big of rag fodder as Katie & Tom, or Brangelina.
ReplyDeleteI don't see people buying up copies of People every week to see what Jaustin Family is up to.
I bash on Sophia because I see her as taking advantage of the situation to promote herself and she could be risking her own friendship with Austin by doing so.
Which is more important? A friendship or your stepping on other people's heads to go up the ladder. I'm beginning to see her as valuing her career above her friend's situations.
We'll just have to agree to disagree PG, just like I'll have to agree to disagree with Special and anyone else who thinks Jake and Austin bearded just to protect BT.
ReplyDeleteI don't see why a baby would be a victim of homophobia, but not a toddler or child. I also once again don't see why someone with more power and money than most people I know rolled into one are in such need of special protection.
As for Sophin, if you're going to beard and play the oooh soooo in looooove couple then I don't see why someone should be accused of taking advantage of the other because of the pdas. Maybe Sophia was just putting more into the role than Reese, and wanted it to believable. Maybe she's just a touchy feely kind of gal, I don't much difference between her practically grabbing her female friend's boobs on the dance floor and patting Austin on the butt. Nobody complained about her taking advantage of Austin when she was practically sitting on his lap a few years back at Fashion Week. And without pdas everyone says "oh, they're just friends and the tabloids are making it up".
It has been snowing since early this morning, and it's one of those damp, nasty snows, where you come back inside and your coat is soaking wet. Supposed to keep up through tomorrow, and get at least 8 inches. Just my luck that I have tickets for a show tonight, so I can't even head home and curl up on the sofa instead of fighting the elements.
