Soft and smooth is lovely and amazing,
a little scruff is sexy....
a close cropped one can be cute,
but...
but you're getting close to the crazy old coot
livin' alone in the jungle
or on an island
a little too long.Birds could nest in it and
knights could ni about it
It could be on a cough drop box
or Zig Zag pack.
And you're way too handsome to hide under a bushel.
So unless you're a poet
a prophet
a pro-sleeper
or two dudes from Texas
Let your co-stars do it not you.

you'll still smell as sweet to him.
Interview with Ed Zwick
ReplyDeleteThese last number of years, I’ve done big movies but really haven’t done (intimate behavioral comedy), that kind of stuff, Zwick said. “I love it and I’d been away from it, so that was the appetite.”
In “Love & Other Drugs,” Jake Gyllenhaal plays a pharmaceutical salesman who meets a free spirit (Anne Hathaway) who suffers from an incurable disease. Set in 1997 against the backdrop of increased drug company advertising, the film is a commentary on love, life and, of course, drugs.
“I didn’t want to do a standard romantic comedy, something that was contrived so it was about finding the right story,” Zwick said. “And more than that, it was about finding the right actors.”
“You have to look at an actor’s body of work,” Zwick said. “I’ve been watching Annie’s work in the last couple of years. Increasingly, the braver she gets, the more she takes chances and the better her work. She’s clearly someone who is ambitious and serious and coming into the height of her power. I thought, well gee, nobody has seen how earthy and tough and funny Anne really is.”
“And Jake, really when given the right script has been extraordinary. Some choices are less good than others I think, but when I got to know him, I saw something nobody else has seen, just how funny he is, and how charming and open and attractive in this way. Nobody has seen Jake be that seductive bad boy, and I said let’s show audiences parts of these actors they think they know but don’t.”
Though audiences have seen powerful performances from Gyllenhaal, such as his Oscar-nominated performance in Brokeback Mountain, Zwick thinks he’s still coming into his prowess as an actor.
“There is a moment in every actor’s life when those things come together,” he said. “There is a moment in every young man’s life, not necessarily when you’re 24 or 28. Sometimes you have to get a three in front of their age before everything starts to function and they fire on all cylinders. I think it’s happening and very abundant and clear in the film.”

Gay Suicide on the Rise What Can Hollywood Do?
ReplyDeleteThis was a very disturbing week. Five teenagers committed suicide as a result of gay bullying by their peers, making the death toll somewhere around eight over the last few weeks. And these are just cases that have been reported about in the media.
Obviously, there are more tragic stories out there.
We stand behind Ellen Degeneres and Perez Hilton, who have been admirably vocal in speaking out about this unacceptable epidemic, and agree something must be done:
While some of you may think our Blind Vices only contribute to making sexuality somewhat of a game, we must disagree.
Now, we would never out a celebrity. Also, keep in mind, these are adults who made a decision to be public figures. It's obviously their choice to conceal their sexual identity, but hearing about these tragic teens who felt like they had no better option than taking their own lives makes us realize how many more out, gay celebrities are needed in our culture.
There's only so much Neil Patrick Harris, T.R. Knight, or Anna Paquin can do.
If more celebrities were open about being bisexual or gay (and didn't leave us to toy with their dilly-dallying), it would give confused teens someone to look up to. It would show closed-minded, intolerant bigots that being gay is not only none of their business, but, it's quite human, too.
Happiness and the right to live as one was born isn't just limited to being heterosexual, you idiots. Get a brain-alert on that one, pronto.
If any of you readers out there feel so alone you might be contemplating suicide, please know you are not alone. Our friends at The Trevor Project are a great resource to use. Please check out their website and give them a call.
busy night ahead covering the tempest red carpet for OK! @ lincoln center & jake gyllenhaal & david denby @ sva for NBC

Okay, Austin, we get it. You're in the Big T. You can stop with the Doubledecker bus tour.
ReplyDeleteGeesh. Well, I suppose it would be too risky for him to join Jake in NYC. Too risky. That's fine.
But if that's the case, how about a shoutout to your ex-girlfriend, Sophia, Aust? When are you two going to tell your OTH fans that things are chillingly frosty with you?
Since we're all being so frank and clear about where we're all at, how about letting us know where the ex is?
It's called tit for tat.
Sorry, I'm a little cranky. But things are hunky dory now! It's all good.
ReplyDeleteYou know what's interesting is that Luiz's tweet went poof. It doesn't show up on Twittersearch now and you can't get to the separate page for the tweet either.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm....
Did anyone catch Ted's video where he says Jake was totally embarrassed by Adam's comments. Really, Adam had no business bringing up the subject.
ReplyDeleteC'mon...Trouble in paradise for S/A? You made me laugh so hard. Everything is fine between these two, at least it was like two days ago when I saw them in Wilmington holding hands and everything!

ReplyDeletelmao. Twitter must be the source for all things true. No wonder you drink Ted's kool-aid
New Jake pictures
ReplyDeleteLooks like Jake kept the beard for last night's sit down.
ReplyDeleteA little snip, trim and tame and it's all back in business. Looking good!
And casual and relaxed for a Saturday night chit chat in a yummy cashmere sweater with a little glint of gold around his neck.
Not a old coot/jungle man/isolated islander in sight. No sir-ee. : )

ReplyDeleteProud of it? People who are proud of being a parent don't pretend that they're not.
