Has everyone seen the cover of US Weekly? So much for not wanting to live in sin. This one trumpets that Jake is kind to her kids and gives her the love she deserves.

Keep your barf bags handy. If you have any doubt that US and Janice are the PR go-to rag this should remove that doubt. Float it in OK Mag and then go to Janice for the "credibility".

US magazine cover critique:

“HOW DO YOU SPELL DISASTER? US WEEKLY

Dear Janice,

Last week you took a risk and I applauded you for it.

Placing Barack Obama and his wife Michelle on the cover was a bold move.

Fast forward to this week and what do you do?

You put a story on the cover that NOBODY cares about.

Who is talking about Reese and Jake? Do you really think anyone cares that Jake is moving in with Reese?

This is at best a feeble effort to showcase a breaking news story on the cover of Us Weekly. Hmm. I can’t really remember the last time that Us Weekly has broken a big story. Can you Janice?

While the readers won’t buy this story, you’ve made all of your competitors very happy today.

This cover is so off the mark that Us Weekly readers will be flocking to the other mags when they see this cover.

Well, as they say in the celebrity weekly space, there’s always next week - if there is a next week.

xoxo

Mark

P.S. Are you enjoying your summer vacation?”

Once again Jake is just an inset while Reese's face hogs the whole cover.

destiny said...

And no mention of the love Jake deserves.

This is the same magazine that put Jennifer and Brad on the cover and proclaimed that they were still sooo in love and that there was no trouble in paradise a week before they broke up.

Now to be fair, it was the Ok rag that was pushing marriage, Us rag is pushing moving in together, actually it says that they already have.

Have they decided to mix in soccer mom/dad images with edgy hip (her outfits lately). Killing 2 birds with one stone also, the soccer moms her age won't be appalled if they move in together w/o marriage since a lot of them would do the same.

I wonder if this has anything to do with the Notting hill rumors. Also, some thing that she "paid off" Ryan regarding them finalizing their divorce since he bought a 7 mil. home in the HH around the same time it was announced.

I think she has physical custody of the kids and he has very liberal visiting rights, something that was in place beffore he filed for joint custody. Some think he backed down and they "settled".

Jake moved in while he is in London?

Records show Ryan purchased the house in April actually. And he didn't plunk down the 7Mil+. He has a hefty mortgage on the property.

More about the strike and PoP.

More than 1,800 people here and abroad are lined up to work on Disney's nearly $200 million-budget video-game based "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time," starring Jake Gyllenhaal, which is set to begin production in Morocco on July 28.

"Of course, we're concerned," said the film's producer, Jerry Bruckheimer. "We'd have to shut it down and everybody goes home ... but I can't believe either side wants a strike."

Bruckheimer said if the production is forced to shut down, the crew nonetheless would continue working on visual effects, editing, set building and other areas not requiring actors.

If halting production pushes the start date of "Prince of Persia" too far into the year, the film would risk losing its planned release date next summer.

A strike probably would not occur until after July 8, when the smaller union of actors, the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, will announce the results of a membership vote on its recently negotiated contract. SAG is waging a long-shot campaign to defeat the accord, contending it undermines the union's bargaining goals.

PoP is one big movie.

Nuh uh! You ARE bad. Remember that some of us have actually met you in person and can say that we KNOW you're bad!

Custody is 50/50. Always has been joint. "Liberal vistation" was never an option. Ryan would never back down from this. Read his interviews he says they have joint custody. He didn't have to make any deals to get it either because the assets earned during their marriage were split 50/50 according to California Community Property statutes.

Are people are theorizing that she gave him more than 50% of their earnings and he gave her custody? Not a chance. Trust.

Something I know do you have a link to prove he has a hefty mortgage? Other then a blogger's speculation I didn't find anything to back that up as anything more than speculation.

Anonymous said...

Artic, obviously the copy person "worked" on that "story" ahead of time or are they implying he moved in awhile back??

The site that listed Ryan's house said that it was purchased through something called Avacon on May 30th, but that may have been an error, April is prolly correct and I would expect a big mortgage but I was a little surprised he bought something like that, doesn't seem the type.It's huge but if he has liberal visiting rights/50-50 with Reese still having physical custody of the kids, they will need a place as equal to the place in Brentwood/50-50.

PS: There are whispers that Abby and Ryan are already "living in sin" and I assume she will be moving in which would give you a little inside on the Us cover story and the chatter from Notting hill.

Anonymous said...

^^The difference is, that Abby and Ryan are not and never had made any pretense about their relationship.

Anonymous said...

The entertainment shows did a story on Ryan's new house last week and called it his new love nest. Reese had to come back with a love nest of her own.

destiny said...

Knowing Special, I can't believe I didn't think about those numbers. I obviously didn't have enough coffee this morning.

Anonymous said...

I just don't know what to say about the latest turn of events, except to say nice post Spesh. :(

Anonymous said...

I doubt any dad worth his salt would give up custody. Joint custody is the way to go, and unless he was proven not to be a good father, there would be no reason not to assume it. It in the best interest of the kids to have it. The Babbs probably want to draw a circle and a line through Ryan now, so that J&R can be one big happy family. Won't happen.

Normally, no, but the fact that they pretended they weren't is the height of hypocrisy and lying. They should have just done it from the start, instead of pretending to be holier-than-thou and putting up a false front. That's what will put people off, phoney baloney traditional conservative crap for public consumption, and no better than anyone else behind closed doors. At least Abby and Ryan never pretended.

Well, I think I may be all done with this charade. :(

Of course there is a magazine story. They didn't have a photo op this week.

Jake and Reese are in different places. The sighting on the beach maybe's true maybe not, but one thing's for sure, he's not with Reese. If she went to London to be with him, it would be everywhere by now. EVERYWHERE. She would have made sure of that.

Which do you want stupid puff stories or having to look at pictures of them?

Anonymous said...

re: all done, is there really any big deal? Isn't it just a rag about bearding guessing that some more bearding might happen?

Anonymous said...

^^I think you are right. It's just an insult to the ol' intelligence, innit? Hey Ev, where are the Heathrow pics? ;)

Stubborn TB said...

I have one question:

Why are people acting as if Jake is living with Reese just because Janice is kissing Reeses ass again?
And where were those people when the DL sighting was posted?
It's the same thing every time a tabloid article like that comes out.

Seriously, reactions like that is the stuff that Evelyns dreams are made of.


Great post, Special.
And as someone that knows you: Yes, you are that bad!

Clarity said...

"Well, I think I may be all done with this charade. :( "

I have been for months now. All this crap is not even worth discussing anymore.

destiny said...

I have a possible answer Stubborn: since many of those posts are not from the regulars I think they may be coming from babblers, trolls or pr.

Wicked said...

I really think that what this US Weekly story can tell us is what PR, and Jake and Reese, want us to believe.

Anonymous said...

Does Jake have Yo Yo hotness?

Stubborn TB said...

I really hope you're right, Destiny.

I'd hate to think that we're suddenly buying into tabloid stories.

Anonymous said...

David Beckham with his scraggly beard and Jake Gyllenhaal with his bicycle helmet and spandex shorts are both examples of yo-yo hotness.

I think they got the names mixed up. Should be Jake Gyllenhaal with his scraggly beard.

destiny said...

LOL correction.

PR can push Reeke all they want, I'm never going to buy it, just like I never bought what Bush pushed from day one.

Anonymous said...

Thank God Jake has Reese in his life. Because she is influencing him to get fit:

Reese behind Jake's makeover
No, your eyes aren't deceiving you. Jake Gyllenhaal is looking fitter than ever, and his girlfriend Reese Witherspoon seems to have influenced his fitness routine. "Jake's in great shape already - but Reese seems to motivate him to push himself even harder," an insider told In Touch Weekly. Their secret, reports the magazine, is mixing up their routine. "They'll hit the gym one day, hike the next day and then swim another day," the source told the magazine.


Before her he was nothing.

Makeover? This is soooo disappointing, like he wasn't fit before. What bs - yes, there has been a makeover, now that I think of it - a prefrontal lobotomy. :(

It's funny how all that training with Lance Armstrong did nothing for Jake while constant restaurant and coffee engagements with Reese have whipped him into shape. The woman is amazing!

Do we actually know the contents of the US Weekly story? It is probably just going to be Reese visiting with Jake in London and "Moving in Together" in England when Ryan has the kids during the summer. They will get more photo ops in London etc.

Basically they will schedule it around some Avon events so she can kill to birds with one stone. Is Reese really getting 30 million over 3 years to be Avon's spokesperson for breast cancer fund raising?

It is funny how this always seems to be about Reese and doesn't even seem to be about Jake anymore.

Anonymous said...

Hold on - Reese gets PAID for breast cancer spokeswomaniship? I thought that was just for Avon cosmetics. There's something wrong with that - surely the 30 million could be much better used for cancer research?

Jake and Reese were in Heat today (UK edition) - read it in the hairdressers. Same recycled story about the 18-month relationship, and all about her as usual.

So what's changed today? Are we believing another mag's story and if so, why on earth?

Here are some of the highlights from the US Weekly article I picked up-

*Jake stayed in R's house while she was in Japan

*She calls Atti "her dog"

*They're talking marriage but she wants to take it slow

*"Even if he only had 48 hours off he'd fly home because he missed her so much."- unnamed source

*Reese's kids "need to figure out who Jake is and don't quite understand yet."- unnamed source

*Jake's parents and sister crazy about her

*Atti and Reese's dog get along so well and have matching red bandannas

*On June 22 Reese flew to London. The next night Reeke were spotted leaving her Dorchester hotel to dine at Cipriani

Saw the Jake and Tobey mention on Defamer. That is really out of left field. It may be their version of a joke. I dont see that pairing at all.

Re the Jake has moved in bit. Didn't one of the mags do an almost identical article about Biel and Timberlake about 2 weeks ago. Pure drivel in my opinion.

Couple of reviews of The Dark Knight on the web tonight, all glowing. Right now, I care more about that than Jake. Some beautiful words from Christian Bale about Heath also - will be in Parade magazine later this week. I've a soft spot for Bale as well. A very classy man.

*Reese's kids "need to figure out who Jake is and don't quite understand yet."- unnamed source

Reeke has been going on for over a year and we've been subjected to these PR stories of how wonderfully Jake and the kids get along, Deacon quoting Jake, Jake and the kids trick or treating, hiking, preparing for Reese's birthday party together and, how they were going to spend Father's Day with Jake because they love hime so much. After all of that, and they don't know who Jake is and he's moving into their house? So what is the explanation Reese has given her kids about Jake being there 24/7? And if Reese if so concerned about the soccer mom set, how come this perfect mother ditched her kids for the past week and ran off to be alone with her "boyfriend". Looks like their PR teams can't get their stories straight.
