Q: Doctor Parnassus, what is this 'love that dare not speak its name'?
Doctor Parnassus: That, my funny Valentine, is a phraseology from a 19th century poetical effort by my distant cousin, Lord Freddy "Turtleneck" Douglas. It referred to a deep spiritual affection between two confirmed bachelors. In our less tolerant times, it refers to a deep spiritual affection between two men who are not confirmed bachelors.
Q: Non-bachelors cannot speak about their love?
Doctor Parnassus: Oh baby ruth…as another distant relative of mine said, there's a river running underground, underneath the town towards the sea. You say you love flowers, yet you pluck them. You say you love trees, yet you cut them down. And you wonder why some are afraid to speak their love!
Q: Is this about Jake and Heath?
Doctor Parnassus: My little dove bar, love is like a box of bitter chocolates. The one that we cannot have
is the one that lasts the longest, cuts the deepest, and feels the strongest. Yes, love lifts us up where we belong, where the eagles fly, on a mountain high! Yet love is also like pi — natural, irrational, and in the end, unspeakable.
Q: So Jake does admire Heath?
Doctor Parnassus: Does Dolly Parton sleep on her back?
Q: Heath didn’t seem to want worshipping.
Doctor Parnassus: Hero with feet of clay, oh earthbound angel, oh shining knight of darkest sorrow, Adonis with an Achilles heel, sweet prince with a bitter smile! Doth perfect beauty stand in need of praise at all?
Q: Doc, you look flushed, are you all right?
Doctor Parnassus: Forgive me. I have a psychosomatic reaction to true religion.
Q: Since we’re on the topic of love…what about Jake’s bachelor friend Austin. Why is he out of the picture?
Doctor Parnassus: Cara caramello, I think the show had poor ratings.
Q: No, why is he never seen with Jake anymore?
Doctor Parnassus: As Mr Brando once advised Mr Rock Hudson, "you cannot get to the top by sitting on your bottom."
Q: What?
Doctor Parnassus: As the Chinaman says, "man who eats prunes, gets good run for money."
Q: I’m not following. Are you saying it’s a career move?
Doctor Parnassus: Dear turkish delight, your naivete is delicious.
Q: But…is Jake really into that woman?
Doctor Parnassus: The last time my client was inside a woman was when he went to the Statue of Liberty.
Q: Hmmm. Back to Heath. Jake can never speak of him?
Doctor Parnassus: As Sir Ang Lee once told me, Mr Gyllenhaal is the meandering river, Mr Ledger the bottomless ocean. The river knows not its depth until it reaches the ocean.
Q: You mean denial ain't just a river in Egypt?
Doctor Parnassus: Oi, reese's peanut butter cup! Mr Gyllenhaal has an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired. Yet while we always love those who admire us, we do not always love those whom we admire.
Q: I am more confused than ever.
Doctor Parnassus: Butterfinger, you must be in love.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 302 of 302His beard and shopping companion.
Why is he jogging all by himself, well with a personal trainer, in Brentwood, where she lives?
Reese is the only one who lives in Brentwood?
Jake combined his bearding and jogging duties?
PR thought it was a good idea and arranged paparazzi?
Maybe it's because he is getting ready for POP, hence the trainer, you don't train with friends/gf's tagging along, it's work.
He's jogging to Brentwood from SM where the gym and trainer are i assume.
The caption suggests that the starting point: SM, ending point: Brentwood where Reese lives.
I gater that this took place in the morning, there is a blogger sighting of them at the 3 square cafe for lunch in Venice.
Too early for Reese to get up for a photo op.
O rperhaps he now lives in Brentwoood as well or , clutch my pearls, is staying with Ms Withersoon!! I wouldn't be surprised, it makes things a whole lot easier.

BS.
I wouldn't be surprised, it makes things a whole lot easier.
But of course, who would drive around when you can live with that wonderful woman and obey her rules.
LOL
Why is it BS? For months he has been seen in Brentwood and all the other places near and that run through there:S. Monica/Venice/Pacific Palisades, etc. When was the last time he was spotted in W. Hollywood, B. Hills, Runyan (near H.Hills) lately??
There have been more than one insinuation that if not living in Brentwwood with Reese, he definately stays there when Ryan has the kids. And yes, it would make a whole lot of things easier.'
I remember when Heath died and his PR lied and said that he was o the set of Brothers when extras posting on IMDB says that they didn't se him that week and there was that blogger sighting of J&R in Brentwood a day or so after his death in Brentwood, early in the morning.
Never really noticed what a nice eye shape Heath had, here it's very visible:
Eyes
His daughter looks so much like him. I think she'll be beautiful when she grows up!

I remember that!
11:44 AM
Hi Babbler!
I remember that!
I remember that bullshit too. Same as I remember another blog story about Jake cracking jokes during Heath's LA memorial.
Babblers still believe all of it.
I think they are really friends which is why they are spending so much time together. The romance part though is just not working. It looks totally forced and staged. Its getting worse in my opinion too. Even if he is straight/bi I just cant see them together (no chemistry). They should really just admit their just friends. This fauxmance is starting to look ridulious.
There have been more than one insinuation that if not living in Brentwwood with Reese, he definately stays there when Ryan has the kids.
There have been more than 1000 articles about Reeke being the real thing.
Doesn't make it true.
I think they are really friends ... It looks totally forced and staged.
Can you imagine Jake bearding with a real friend like Jennifer Aniston or Natalie Portman?
I think they wouldn't look forced and staged, they would have really good time together.
Who'd blame Jake if he had a crush? Jake's a beautiful man, but Heath was very sexy too:
sexy heath
sexy heath II
Never really noticed what a nice eye shape Heath had, here it's very visible...
Beautiful.
Ennis and Jack
12:20, I honestly don't think that's Ennis and Jack. That's Jake checking out Heath's crotch! ;)
You are bad! lol
You are bad! lol
I know! ;)
That's the look, that's look, the look of love:
J&H
11:54 AM, I agree that the looking forced and staged has become much more noticable, it also looks like they're always trying to look so happy and smile brightly in every shot that it looks even worse. Maybe their just about done with keeping up appearances. I wouldn't want to be on stage every time I walked out my door either.
Jake and Heath pics are much more fun than Reeke pics.
J&H2
J&H2 is sooo sweet!
If Reese is his beard then Jakey definitely has a bad taste in beards. He should have found someone better suited for him!

Needs repeating - posted by TR from OMG:
This overly convenient and mutually beneficial relationship seemed off to me. I knew she was furious and was not going to allow herself to be cast as an Aniston-like victim. She was going to turn the entire dumping to her advantage starting with the starvation diet and new style for the 2007 award season, followed by the assassination of Ryan's character in the tabloids, culminating in "hot new love" with someone more famous and more popular as an actor than Ryan. The last part must have been the hardest to accomplish because men aren't exactly tripping over themselves to date Reese but there was Toothy desperately in need of an influx of heterosexuality and working with Reese. I have no idea if he is gay or straight but he sure needed to stop the frenzy at that moment. It was just so Team Reese to come up with this type of plan. Nanci and Evelyn are IMO much worse then Reese ever will be. They are pure evil.
12:07 PM
I think they were both beautiful in a different way and that's exactly what made them so hot together. My opinion is that Jake's prettier and Heath was sexier.
Jake
Heath
How many women want to be in a fake relationship, even if it is Jake? Especially if he was looking for someone high up the HW food chain. Enter Reese.
And we all know the reason Jake isn't seen out and about anymore in Weho is because it it is full of all those evil gays.
12:47, maybe Jake is prettier, but I agree, I think Heath was sexier!
WeHo is a big no-no.
12:46 PM, oh yeah I know, both are suppose to benefit from this relationship.
I miss the good old Jake, who didn't seem so concerned about his image and becoming a big stah!
I guess the good old days are over! :(
"This B+ film actor is thisclose to being A list. Not only starring in big popcorn flicks, but also big award winning films as well. Portrayed to the media as a strong heterosexual, on the set of his latest film, he fell in love... with a guy. They now live together."
BRENDAN FRASER.
Now that several people have mentioned Brendan Fraser, I remember reading another BI months ago (6 months or so ago, during the filming of Mummy 3) that also sounded like it was about him, and guess what? It basically said the same thing: that first he fucked around with numerous rent boys on the set, and then settled down with just one partner (his personal trainer, if I recall correctly).
I hadn't thought of it again until just now. But I don't think I've ever heard of Fraser being pushed as a "strong heterosexual" (?)
Anyway, boys and girls, we may have a winner here.
Jack + Ennis + spittle. ;)

"They should really just admit their just friends. This fauxmance is starting to look ridiculous."
ITA. Starting? It has been a joke from day one.

I disagree, in the beginning they thought they were so important and I think they really thought they'll be the ultimate, loved power couple. Guess they were wrong! Now they seem more and more awkward with each other.
Remember how in the beginning she even cleaned his teeth or hugged him. I don't see that anymore

TY for posting!
Will it change anyone life here if Jake comes out? Perez Hilton will make fun of him? He will never please all the gays? You all will have moved on to the next, "closeted actor".

I think a lot of us have waited a long time for Jake to come out. I imagine we will continue to. People make fun of Jake because he hasn't come out. I think he will be a lot more respected when he does. He may be happy with himself right now but I doubt he can look in the mirror and see much that makes him proud right now.
Tracey, what's your problem?
Do tell!
If I had to choose between career in Hollywood and money or coming out. I'd stay in the closet too! I mean it's a Hollywood career!
I wish some day sexual orientation won't make a difference. At the moment, unfortunately, it still does.
I don't think we should be too hard on Jake!
"I disagree, in the beginning they thought they were so important and I think they really thought they'll be the ultimate, loved power couple. Guess they were wrong! Now they seem more and more awkward with each other."
ITA. At first I think they really thought they were going to be the "hottest couple" and everyone would buy the fauxmance right away. But I guess the response wasn't what they thought it would be hence headlines like.."Its so real..It's so Hot!...Jake and Reese are heating up..etc, etc. Since when do you have promote feelings??
They should just give it up already.
I said this before, I hope there'll be a book about Heath Ledger/Jake Gyllenhaal/Michelle Williams and maybe Anne Hathaway.
I think the four kids are more interesting than we might think.
I hope It'll be written before I die. lol
Is that an (induced) ledgerection?
"ledgerection" is great. LOL!
Patrick Dempsey talks about his big gay following...
Patrick Dempsey is about as handsome a guy as there is and he handles his stardom well. It's also nice to know that he's appreciative of his gay fans as we learn in the Q&A with Brandon Voss in The Advocate. Patrick is the subject of an upcoming "Big Gay Following" feature. Here are some excerpts:
Do you have a Rupert Everett-like gay best friend?
[Laughs] He's not like Rupert Everett, but yeah, I definitely do. He's a good guy, but it took him a long time to really get out of the closet. Everyone around him knew, and then when he finally came to terms with it and said, "Yeah, I'm gay," we were like, "Finally! Good for you." You could see the release in him where he wasn't having to pretend anymore and was becoming his own person.
We're not talking about T.R., are we?
No, no, no. It's somebody else.
Your character (in "Made of Honor") often gets mistaken for gay, which also happens to your character in 1989's "Loverboy." Has that happened to you in real life?
Sometimes now, yeah. I try not to read the blogs, but it seems everybody's convinced I'm gay -- especially since Versace. But the great thing with sexuality and being gay is that there's really no stereotype anymore.
At 17, you dropped out of high school to play David in a San Francisco production of Torch Song Trilogy. Did you or your parents have concerns about your taking a gay part so early in your career?
No, not at all. Doing theater, the gay community was always incredibly kind to me -- never aggressive or predatory, always supportive and nurturing. That was the great thing about being a part of that show. Especially being so young, there was a lot of concern only because I was out there on my own and I'd never been in the big city before, but everybody looked after me.
Have you been aware of your gay following since your breakout success in 1987's Can't Buy Me Love?
Yeah, there was some stuff that [celebrity photographer] Greg Gorman and I shot that sort of opened things up, and everybody was telling me about that. It's good fun. It's flattering.
Did you or your agents have any hesitations before accepting a three-episode arc as Will's sportscaster boyfriend on Will & Grace, your first major foray into TV?
No. When I sat down and talked with the show's creators, they were like, "Here's what we want to try to do," and I was like, "Yeah, I'm in for that." It was fun. I loved that character, and certainly that role and being on that show helped turn things around for me profoundly.
Opposite another straight actor, Eric McCormack, was it challenging to make a gay romance appear believable?
No, because you just play a relationship -- two people attracted to each other. You just trust that and don't worry about it. The situation reveals that you're gay; you don't have to play gay to be gay.
As a Versace model, not to mention all the shirtless scenes you have in Made of Honor, do you feel pressure to constantly hit the gym?
Yeah, I work out, but I'm not fanatical about it. I'm not the kind of guy who can be completely cut-up; I just want to stay in shape and be healthy and lean. But there's always the pressure of having the perfect male body. At the same time, I've got way too much going on to worry about it. You just have to go, "Here's my body," and hope people like it.
On People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" list, you came in second to Matt Damon in 2007, George Clooney in 2006, and Matthew McConaughey in 2005. How's it feel to be that close to the title for three years?
At least I'm consistently in the top two. And I've been there longer than the other guys, so that's fine.
Which male celebrity do you find sexy?
Johnny Depp, certainly, without question. There's just something about his individuality, his humility, and his sense of style. He's also immensely talented and intelligent, and that's all very sexy.
What's the oddest thing you've done with your character's action figure from Disney's Enchanted?
It's not so much what I have done but what my friends have done with the doll -- and then sent pictures of to my cell phone. They've put the doll in various sexual positions with other dolls -- with Barbie and Ken.
Here is a LINK to the entire interview...
http://www.insidesocal.com/outinhollywood/2008/05/patrick-dempsey-talks-about-hi.html
Dear Ted:
You said Reese and Jake were only a publicity stunt and, frankly, it looks like more than that. Lately you are always wrong! Maybe its time you change spies...
Natsie
Boston
Dear Dumb-Butt:
I imagine you were convinced to become a Tom Cruise fan again, after his latest Oprah appearance.
They've put the doll in various sexual positions with other dolls -- with Barbie and Ken."
That's pretty funny. Another funny thing I read about a doll concerned the Joker doll. Someone online said she wanted to buy it so it can be a husband to her Barbie.
When I look at all of the photos since Rome, one thing stands out : Jake is a truly lonely man.
When was the last time that we saw Jake with anyone - anyone - besides industry people? Reese is industry, the trainer is industry, his agents are industry. Except for the brief appearance of Chris in NY, we haven't seen Jake with anyone else, including his biological family.
I'm convinced that it's more than Jake's pr people trying to push other people away. I think that other people have pushed Jake away. The situation in Nailed is embarassing, and I have to think that it is, in some way, a signal of diminished respect for Jake as a professional capable of securing important movie projects. If he didn't have the PoP deal, he would be dead in the water.
Absolutely nothing else appears to be coming down the pipe. This bearding arrangement is sucking the life out of his professional integrity. He's going to have to pay the piper at some point. Weird insider deals like PoP (he was poorly cast) don't come along very often.
I really feel sorry for the guy. He must be hurting alot right now, trying desperately to distract himself (and us) with pap pictures, as his social base shrinks to almost nothing. No wonder he clings to Reese. He has no one else to bond with in LA right now.
I wouldn't trade places with him right now for all the tea in China, or a 100 million dollar deal with Disney. We didn't go through Stonewall just to watch a another closeted gay actor self-destruct in front of the cameras.
10:26, excellent assessment of Jake.I have a feeling your take is more on the mark than the phony tabloid nonsense Reese's PR is trying futilely to dish out to a public they think is stupid.
I also wouldn't doubt that Jake has been trying to date on the downlow a bunch of guys the past few months, including that Israeli violinist. I have a feeling that DL tidbit is true. Too bad, Jake hasn't been able to sustain these "dates" into longer relationships because of the bearding.
ITA, this whole Reeke thing has sucked the life & personality out of him. Besides liking Jake for his looks, I liked him cause he always seemed so easy going, pretty happy and so family oriented. He was always seen with either one of his parents, his sister and his friends. For the past year, Jake is always with Reese and very rarely by himself. It's almost as though his family and friends have disappeared. When he's in pics by himself, you can see a little of the old Jake smile. It must be lonely. If he only realizes what damage Reeke is doing to him, one would hope that he'd end the phonymance ASAP.
Well, after almost 2yrs of Reeke, if Jake ever ends the charade relationship with her, he will still not be able to come out. Imagine him coming out 6 months or ever 1 year after ending Reeke. Reese would be so furious for having the public think she was taken for a fool by not knowing her boyfriend was gay that she would make it her mission to destroy Jake.
"Reese would be so furious for having the public think she was taken for a fool by not knowing her boyfriend was gay that she would make it her mission to destroy Jake."
Actually, I'm not sure which scenario is worse : people thinking that she was manipulated by Jake for professional gain, or people thinking that she manipulated the media in order to help out a gay friend. Take your pick, chose your poison.
All I do know is that Jake's relative isolation is more than just anti-social behavior on his part, or even other people shunning him.
I think that Reese likes him dependent and simpering, following after her, with or without crutches, like a pathetic little wimp, desperate for approval, emotional support or advice.
Some of Jake's isolation comes from Reese unpopularity, which is, in turn, driven by her controlling nature.
When they break up, it'll be Will and Grace meets the Exorcist.
11:04, So you think Jake is deliberately shunning his friends and family?
I definitely dont see reese running off to Morrocco. First I think she would be afraid she might catch something.
LOL. I do think we'll see her on the PoP set, though. There is no way they'll be able to resist the photo ops. Reese will no doubt drag the kids over there too so everyone can see what a family man Jake is!
Prince of Poof?
Orlando Bland was supposedly offered $40 million to do the Prince of Persia movies, the first of which is to start filming in July, but word now is that the producers wanted Jakey Gyllenhaal from the start. With schlockmeister Jerry Bruckheimer producing, it could be true. Bruckheimer made a point of getting broad-shouldered almost-actor Ben Affleck for mega-schmaltzy dud "Pearl Harbor.” ("Ben's a wonderful actor,” said Bruckheimer at the time. “He's someone I've been watching for a long time and somebody I've always wanted to work with.”)
Bland apparently feared that the Prince of Persia wasn’t bad-ass enough a superhero to het-up his girlie image. Gyllenhaal appears to have no such worries.
Hollywood is nothing if not a herd, and the success of Ironman is further spurring the stampede to get on the superhero gravy train. PoP has some issues, though. Unlike Ironman or Batman, the central character is cardboard-flat. In the first installment (Sands of Time), he is meant to be charming and unsure of himself, but that's about the extent of his complexity.
(The filmmaker's advantage that playing the Prince will not require much of an actor could be canceled out by the boredom audiences experience watching the result. Speedracer has shown once again that color and action won't make up for lack of a strong main character.)
Later, in Warrior Within, the tentative Prince becomes a generic tough-guy anti-hero. He has new tattoos and a macho attitude. There is now even less character development and interaction from what wasn't much to start with.
Jordan Mechner (creator of the PoP video game) wrote the film screenplay, his first for the big screen, but Jeffrey Nachmanoff (who co-penned the serviceable Day after Tomorrow) was brought in to assist (read: rewrite). Nachmanoff isn't exactly considered a story-telling wizard, so it’s questionable whether structural character issues that will become more obvious in a film have been fixed.
Game Review notes that “Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time met with critical acclaim, but also lackluster sales. Ubisoft revamped the appearance of the series for a broader appeal, which increased sales, but decreased acclaim." In other words, the original didn't have enough gore and testosterone, and the sequel lacked character development and story.
It will be a balancing act to create a film version that appeals across the board. Bruckheimer and Co are hoping Jake Gyllenhaal will do for their film what Angelina Jolie did for “Lara Croft”: overcome the limitations of the video game genre with good looks and sex appeal. It’s a tall order. But speaking about the casting of Gyllenhaal, Bruckheimer said: "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."
"When I look at all of the photos since Rome, one thing stands out : Jake is a truly lonely man.

TOTAL DELIRIOUS
He is bi
Bruckheimer said: "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."
Ha ha, did he really say the exact same thing about Ben and Jake both?!
If PoP fails, sure wouldn't want to be in Jake's shoes...
As for the fauxmance, that was for Jake to get PoP. It is also what PR want the public to see. It's only a few minutes of Jakey's day. We have no idea if he is isolated from friends & family. I certainly don't think so. If they are not seen it's only because PR want to push the image of the straight family man with Reese. If the PoP target audience is young, I wonder if Reese's kids will disappear too... have to maintain the young image for thirtysomething Reese.
New set of Reeke pictures on IHJ!
The pics with him and Heath are adorable. Seeing them together makes you really wonder how Jake couldn't have said anything about his co-star and friend.
Or how he could act the way he did with Witherspoon shortly after his passing.
As Jake himself said in an interview, Heath carried BBM, if he didn't do such a great job the movie wouldn't have become what it became. Though everyone involved did a great job, Heath carried it obviously. This film was a career boost for Jake, he really should have acknowledged Heath.
Ha ha, did he really say the exact same thing about Ben and Jake both?!
Bruckheimer loves all his leading men :)
I think that other people have pushed Jake away. ... No wonder he clings to Reese.
You are buying what Reeke PR is selling.
Re the latest Reeke pics....WTF's with Reese? Why is she pointing at the pap?! Didn't they tip them off to be there for the sole purpose of taking their pic? What a dumbass blonde bimbo!
RIP Sydney Pollack
WTF's with Reese?
She's just happy to see paparazzi. lol
new Reeke
When I look at all of the photos since Rome, one thing stands out : Jake is a truly lonely man.
ITA and no, I'm not drinking the Reeke PR kool-aid. They're completely phony and ridiculous but I think Jake looks very lonely and miserable.
Why lonely? Jake has supportive parents, sister who's a true friend, Chris and (hopefully) Austin.
5:06 AM, ITA!
"but I think Jake looks very lonely and miserable."
That's because he's with Reese playing let's pretend! Anyone who has to hold her hand will look lonely and miserable. LOL!
I wonder how Reese feels....from A-list actress to.....Beard. Wow!
5:16 He looks looks lonely and miserable even when he's not with Reese. It's all over his face imho, anyway that's what I think and I feel sorry for him, though maybe I shouldn't.
I wonder how Reese feels....
This is the best promotion she could get, no reason to complain.
A frau at work took down her Wentworth picture. I asked her why, she said 'he's gay'.
You see they're not all stupid.
I said this before, I hope there'll be a book about Heath Ledger/Jake Gyllenhaal/Michelle Williams and maybe Anne Hathaway.
I think the four kids are more interesting than we might think.
I hope It'll be written before I die. lol
I would SO buy this book!
Heath Ledger: His Beautiful Life and Mysterious Death
Customer book review:
"At first, when the book arrived and I read the back cover, I was afraid that it would be spun to leave us all wondering if Heath had taken his own life, but after reading it, I would have to say "bravo" to author John McShane for a job well done on this, the first of what will probably be many books and movies to come about Heath.
I had always been a fan of Heath's movies, and I liked the fact that he stayed low-key and grounded. Being the same age, I always believed him to be a role model for our generation. Never being a starstruck person, I never followed his nor any other celebrity's personal life too closely, but at hearing the news of Heath's death, I was profoundly shocked and grief stricken.
I've read a lot of reports and watched many of his interviews in the months since his passing, and after reading McShane's biography, I feel I've gotten a small glimpse "behind the scenes" of Heath's life. I liked the fact that a lot of the book was taken from quotes of Heath and his own personal accounts of the events of his life. He was truly driven, and knew what he wanted, and he wasn't afraid to go for it.
My heart broke at certain parts of the story, particularly when Heath was quoted as saying that "He was going to be on our screens for a long time to come." And also when he revealed how much he enjoyed fatherhood and "looked forward to many more babies." And mostly his quote, "When you die, your money doesn't go with you, but your movies will live on." How erie these words resonate now. I'm saddened for the dreams he will never get to achieve, as in having more children, starring in a musical, and directing.
My only problems with the book were that sometimes it dragged out too much on others in Heath's life, such as the histories of some of his girlfriends, and how some of the movies came about. These accounts could've been done in one to two paragraphs tops. Also, at the end, the account of how he was found "on the foot of the bed with pills laying about him." This is actually heresay (along with a lot of the illegal drug accounts). There are conflicting reports-most notably from Heath's father-saying he was found in bed in a normal sleeping postion and the pill bottles were on a nightstand still closed and mainly full.
But overall, I give McShane a "bravo" for a quickly and well written and entertaining biography. And I hope that all future books and most likely film projects do not focus on negative heresay, but celebrate Heath Ledger as the young, driven, quirky, talented and unique individual he was."
His Beautiful Life and Mysterious Death
Well, after almost 2yrs of Reeke,
May 26, 2008 10:47 PM
What 2 years?
Are you buying PR's side of the story that it was 2 years?
Hm ...
Nov 2006 - May 2008 = 18 months (1,5 years)
Mar 2007 - May 2008 = 14 months
Oct 2007 - May 2008 = 7 months
Too long!
LOL
They're holding hands in the new pics. Ugh!
I can't stand them together. I'd probably less dislike them together if I didn't feel that perhaps not only his PR, but also Reese influnced him in not saying a word about Heath, because of the drug rumors.
I'm not saying that what I said is the truth, it's just a feeling.
I couldn't stand Reese long before Reeke. I hate pompous people.
... perhaps not only his PR, but also Reese influnced him in not saying a word about Heath, because of the drug rumors.
Just saying, NOT implaying anything - if Jake cared about what his PR or Reese thought about Heath or possible PR damage, then Jake is the only one to blame.

Of course he is. I wonder if his PR thought before they arranged the Soho photo op that Heath just died a few blocks away. I wonder if it was done on purpose.
Lainey has a post about Jessica Biel that slams her for playing to the paps. WTF? Biel was just doing necessary PR countermeasures to distract from Nailed's money probs. And Jake did his part to change the focus, too. Yet Reeke's PR PDAs are given a total pass. I don't get it.
Shelfy Stomps Her Feet
Who’s the little Shelfy pouting in the corner? There’s the little Shelfy who needs more attention. Poor little petulant Shelfy has spent weeks off the headlines. That’s why the little Shelfy is stomping her feet. And putting her publicist right back to work.
You see, Shelf Ass Jessica Biel has been stuck on a movie set with Jake Gyllenhaal who apparently read her the riot act, telling her in no uncertain terms that she was not to pull her usual paparazzi shenanigans and arrange “candids” from the set of their movie Nailed which has been filming over the last several weeks and recently shut down production reportedly from lack of funding.
As such, not wanting to piss off Jakey and especially not Reese, given she’d miraculously landed a plum part on a hyped project, Shelfy held her ass back and called off photographers.
Now that she’s not working however, Shelfy is hungry to get back on the famehorse. Problem is … no one gives a sh*t about her unless the item is somehow related to the Pip. Have a read then at the following article that just appeared in OK! about the two of them in Miami last Friday:
“…the lovebirds couldn’t keep their hands off each other!
“They were showing a lot of PDA!” the eyewitness tells OK!. “It was a lot – considering how coy most celebrity couples are.”
Dressed in casually – she in a breezy ethnic blouse and short skirt; he, jeans and T-shirt – the couple of nearly a year and a half engaged in a marathon of hugging, French kissing, hand-holding, dancing, singing, and gazing into each others’ eyes, the source adds.
”You couldn’t tell them apart,” the source says. “They only had eyes for each other. They told friends they just wanted to have fun that night – no photos, no media, just a private table where they could let loose.”
And apparently that they did.
By the time J&J exited SET – hand-in-hand, of course – at 3:30 a.m., they were still as giddy as ever.
Shelfy’s back! Just in time for summer!
Between her relentless attention grabs and Granny Freeze pimping her own pregnancy… famewhoring will be an Olympic event by the time Beijing rolls around. Let the games begin.
I wonder if it was done on purpose.
I don't think so. I think PR goal was to provide best media exposure with minimum effort and that was it.

Maybe Lainey is stupid enough to actually like Reese The Bitch.
Or has a soft spot for dumped unattractive women.
Or maybe someone made sure that she "likes" Reese.
Of course he is. I wonder if his PR thought before they arranged the Soho photo op that Heath just died a few blocks away. I wonder if it was done on purpose.
Of course it was not done on purpose, they just didn't care!

Huh? Why would she care if she pissed off Jake and Reese?
Lainey has been paid to be on team Reeke. Paid in favors let in on "secrets" etc.
Everyone should care not to piss off Reese The Bitch.
Pissing Off Reese is Bad For Your Health
Todd Wallace, the photographer who got pushy with Reese Witherspoon and some children at a theme park last year, was found dead in his apartment.
Witherspoon and Wallace crossed paths at Disney's California Adventure in September, where the Golden Globe winner was celebrating her daughter's sixth birthday. Police said Wallace became enraged when Witherspoon's group declined to be photographed at close range and shoved a child out of the way, while whacking another with his camera in his efforts to snap shots of the actress.
He pleaded innocent to six charges including battery and child endangerment, but went ahead and died of yet to be determined causes before he had his day in court. It's always been obvious Reese hates the paparazzi, but I'm starting to think her distaste for them cuts a little deeper than I anticipated. Sure, she's a good mom and wife. She's also cute, likeable, talented and bubbly. However, that amount of sugar not only causes cavities, but is usually a sign that something dark and scary lies within. I'm picturing a secret room beneath her house with a bunch of voodoo dolls, shrunken heads, a boiling pot of witches' brew and Halloween music playing on a continuous loop. Don't be alarmed by the dartboard with Dakota Fanning's face on it, though. I have one, too. They're physician recommended for stress relief.

I predict Jake'll be the next Tom Cruise sans crazy Sientology. He'll have his box office successes, his real or faux relationships with women and become even more pretentious than he already is.
He doesn't need to cater to the BBM fans, he'll earn new ones with his new projects. Do you really think he cares about us not liking the thing with Reese or us complaining about him not paying tribute to Ledger? Answer is a big, fat NO!
I doubt he has much contact with Michelle Williams and her daughter, they are too different people and I doubt Michelle is still as fond about Jake as she used to be. He changed quite a bit!

He changed quite a bit!
We don't know what really happened but I'm not sure about that, adults usually don't change overnight.

Well, not over night, but slowly and gradually!

Over night - watching tennis and baseball with Chris in September, being Jake during Rendition promotion and changed into Reeke Borg in Rome.
