Fibble Wiggle Wobble

Southpaw is continuing to create the story of (The Great White) Billy Hope  by recreating a downtown Pittsburgh location into Madison Square Garden.

But behind the scenes there was some story telling too.   US Magazine was reporting that Jake, Rachel, director Antoine Fuqua and the cast and crew finished up shooting in Indiana PA with letting loose and getting a little wobbly.
  
The costars let loose at Brenda & Ken of Wolfies Pub with about 60 others following a private dinner at Donatellos Restaurant.

"The owner of Donatellos bought them all a round of shots when they first walked in the door to get the party started. Rachel and Jake, along with the director and crew, were on the dance floor and mixing it up," the source tells Us.

McAdams, 35, sipped on a Grey Goose martini and later switched to a Maker's Mark on the rocks during the fun night out. Gyllenhaal, for his part, stuck to Guinness -- that is, when he wasn't doing Trey Songz's Wobble Dance! "He wasn't bad at all," the source notes.

Also curious is the last line of the story:

McAdams is currently dating boyfriend Patrick Sambrook. As Us exclusively revealed, Gyllenhaal got back together with ex-girlfriend Alyssa Miller in February after a brief split.

Weren't they just trying to sell Jake and Rachel dating? At the beginning of their own article?

But there is more fiction than fact to this story.

 Southpaw finished up filming in Indiana, PA before the film's 4th of July break.

 While it is good press for the movie, it is also timely to run this story due to the recent announcement of Rachel's ex Ryan Gosling is about to become a father with girlfriend Eva Mendes who is 7 months pregnant. Rachel is not going to be seen sitting at home upset that she wasn't the Mother Goose for Ryan's goslings, she wants to be seen to have moved on, on, on, on.  And it's not bad for Jake either because it sounds like he was around in Pittsburgh this whole time ( The Vineyard?  What??? What Vineyard trip?)

And about Jake's Wobble, there was this comment left on Just Jared that covered that and the date issue too.

They were with other people from the movie at Donatello’s. Then Fabio, the owner of Donatello’s brought them to Wolfie’s. There’s even a picture of Jake standing around at Wolfie’s in his hoodie and baggy gym shorts. Not dancing. They had a wrap party for the extras who worked at the location in Indiana, PA. The movie crew and cast has moved to Pittsburgh as of June 30th. . So all this happened before the 4th of July.

I think the movie people wants to hype Jake & Rachel as a couple and make it look like something is going on, but this is old news if you are from Pittsburgh and follow the movie shooting. They are doing this because they don’t want Rachel to look bad now that Ryan is having a baby with Eva.

But as for  Jake drinking Guinness, and doing the Wobble. Jakey - we know you have the moves, we've seen your moves in Jarhead.



Then again - maybe you  just prefer doing The Wiggle and having your Grey Goose in  private.

Good Morning Starshine

Out Spotlight XXXX

Today's spotlight is singer, showman, Disco Drag Diva Sylvester.

Born Sylvester James, September 6, 1948, Sylvester is best known as disco and soul musician, and a gay drag performer. Best know for the one of the greatest dance songs and anthems You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real) He performed under only his first name, Sylvester. Known for singing in falsetto (despite a rich baritone voice), he is also considered one of the first Hi-NRG artists. He was raised by his grandmother, the jazz singer Julia Morgan. Sylvester was the first 'male diva' of disco.

He lived in San Francisco in the 1960s, performing in a musical production called Women of the Blues, then joined a group of drag performance artists called The Cockettes in the early 1970s. Another member of The Cockettes was John Water's favorite muse and actress Divine. Both can be seen in a 2002 documentary about the group.

In 1972, Sylvester supplied two cuts to Lights Out San Francisco, an album compiled by the KSAN radio station and released on the Blue Thumb label. He released two rock-oriented albums on Blue Thumb (their self-titled debut was also known as 'Scratch My Flower', due to a gardenia-shaped scratch-and-sniff sticker adhered to the cover). He then signed as a solo act to Fantasy Records in 1977, working with legendary Motown producer Harvey Fuqua.

Sylvester soon met his frequent collaborator Patrick Cowley. Cowley's synthesiser and Sylvester's voice proved to be a magical combination, and pushed Sylvester's sound in an innovative new dance-oriented direction; his second solo album,Step II(1978), unleashed two disco classics: You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real), and Dance (Disco Heat). By this time both his live shows and recordings also recognizably featured the back-up vocals of Two Tons O' Fun later known as the Weather Girls. In 1979 he had three Billboard awards and an appearance in the movie,The Rose, starring Bette Midler.

Sylvester and Cowley moved to Megatone Records in 1982, and hit with the classic with Do You Wanna Funk? His close friends inclduded other Megatone artists Linda Imperial and Jeanie Tracy and legendary Patti LaBelle.

With pressure pressure from the label to 'butch up' his image led him to attend meetings in full-on drag. A drag photo shoot, which he staged and presented to label heads as a gag (calling it his 'new album cover') would later grace the cover of Immortal after Sylvester died; it was the label's way of paying tribute to his spirit.

In 1985, one of his dreams came true as he was ask to sing back-up for Aretha Franklin on her Who's Zoomin' Who comeback album. Moving to Warner Bros. in the 80's, his only album for them Mutual Attraction with the single,Someone Like You, featured original cover art by Keith Haring.

Like so many others, including Patrick Cowley before him, Sylvester died of complications from AIDS in San Francisco on December 16, 1988. He was 40 years old.

On September 20, 2004 Sylvester's his anthem, You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real), was inducted into the Dance Music Hall of Fame. A year later, on September 19, 2005, Sylvester was inducted into the Dance Music Hall of Fame for his achievement as an artist.

The Fabulous Sylvester: The Legend, The Music, The 70s in San Francisco, a biography by Joshua Gamson was published in 2005.

Dance this mess around

Sometimes you just need to dance. Stop . Get out there and just put it all behind, forget all everything from the week, the month, the summer, the year. Just dance it out bitch.

And this dance flashback.

From August 2006

Jake in NYC

The actor recently hit New York City hot spot Butter, where he made his way to Jamie-Lynn Sigler's booth, and with a Corona beer in hand, he rocked out to Fergie's "London Bridge." Later, he started dancing with one of the Sopranos star's brunette friends. The two whispered and laughed with each other for the rest of the night and, at one point, she plopped herself on Gyllenhaal's lap. Before leaving with Sigler at around 3 a.m., the pal and Gyllenhaal whipped out their cell phones and started typing numbers. They also exchanged a long hug good-bye.

That didn't end the fun for Gyllenhaal, who danced to Madonna's "Like a Prayer" (even doing a bit where he crossed himself) and did the limbo with a few women. So, how low can he go?

Jake's new skills for PoP ... money's that boy can go low low low. And Austin.....?

OMG Olympic Moment
Gymnastics

A perfect fusion of athletics and aesthetics, gymnas sports of the Olympic Games. Mixing strength and agility tics ranks among the definingwith style and grace, the high-flying acrobats have provided many of the most breathtaking Olympic spectacles of the past quarter-century.

Gymnastics has a long, proud history. The sport can be traced back to ancient Greece, where such skills featured in the ancient Olympic Games. Ancient Rome, Persia, India and China practised similar disciplines, mostly aimed at preparing young men for battle. The word itself derives from the Greek word gymnos, meaning naked - dress requirements for athletes in those days were minimal, to say the least.


OMG's take. Strength Agility Style Grace. Says it all about these two.

Thought it was going to be the naked thing huh.
