OUT: How would you say the business has changed for gay actors in the past 20 years?
NPH: It’s all uniquely so personal to each person. I can’t say that the business is any different now than it was then, because I wasn’t 30 years old then and in a position to stand tall and say something. I think the fears that enveloped me then would be the same fears that would envelop people that are 15, 16, 17 now.
OUT: So your advice to a gay actor who is 16 now is no different than it would have been when you were 16?
NPH: Oh, no. Clearly there’s way more exposure and a much larger gray area with sexuality and the public’s opinion towards it -- on almost every level -- professionally, artistically, legally. What made it more unique 20 years ago was that there were less examples -- so that made it a shock. And I think the shock value has kind of worn off.
OUT: But is Hollywood still underestimating the American public’s acceptance level of homosexuality? The stigma still seems to be a reality in that business more than many others.
NPH: People in the business are equally as terrified now -- but I really find it a personal thing. And maybe I’m at the end of that era. I wouldn’t even want to stereotype today’s generation. But the majority of the casting departments are gay, and a lot of the executives are. I think it’s a matter of your abilities and how you carry yourself -- I don’t behave any differently toward you right now than when I am with David [Burtka, his boyfriend] in our apartment, watching American Idol. OK, So You Think You Can Dance. [Laughs] I can see why an agent wouldn’t want to sign on a real overtly effeminate male actor -- not because I have an aversion to them but because agents might know it limits their job opportunities.
OUT: You were hired for the Harold & Kumar movie before you were out of the closet. In the films you play yourself -- a markedly straight and strung-out version of yourself. Did writers know you were gay when they wrote the part for you or when you were filming it?
NPH: No. You know...that just never came up. Honestly. When you’re making a movie everyone is in their own motor home and then they call you in and you do your thing. You don’t really sit down and say “So -- who’re you fucking?” when you’ve only met a week before.
OUT: No, that’s more like a day on my job.
NPH: Yes, you probably do. You’re unique that way. The writers were very kind and accommodating and reverential, which was strange, at 29, 30, whatever -- it was crazy. But it was hilarious. I’m a magician at heart, so smoke and mirrors is great. The idea of smoke and mirrors tends to suggest suppression and the idea that you don’t want people to know about who you really are, but as an actor you kind of do want people to not know who you really are. I think it was nice to have a bit of a smoke screen in a way.

"OUT: You and David have been together for 4½ years. When you first started dating you were out personally but not professionally, right? Did that create some early relationship tension?
NPH: No. If anything, it probably gave us more exclusive time together because we weren’t out in public places. We’d have dinner and then hang out. But he has had lots of interesting chapters as well. His first boyfriend -- they had twins together. So they were involved in the whole surrogate/making babies/two dads-with-babies-in-strollers thing, so he’s lived with scrutiny in many ways that I haven’t."
Wow, David has twins!
The DVD commentary for the new edition of City Slickers (why the world needed one of those is beyond me) features a juicy revelation by star Billy Crystal about the actor who played his 10-year-old son.
“He was always performing,” said Crystal of the lad. “He would sing from South Pacific and we’d all go, ‘He’s gay, he’s going to be gay.’”

WDW posted today about a BBM screening on 8/4. Diana Osanna spoke at the event and said that during filming Jake entertained everyone singing show tunes.
How's that for coincidence.

Filling 'Prince of Persia's Hole...Wait, That Didn't Come Out Right
Let's see if we can clear up your calendar for you. OK, last week, Disney and producer Jerry Bruckheimer moved Prince of Persia back almost a year. The film was supposed to open on June 19, 2009, and now it's Memorial Day, 2010. Why the postponement? If I had to guess, seriously, I think it's so Disney can get a Comic Con jump start next summer. Look what it did for Iron Man, and watch what it will do for Watchmen.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Otherwise, I have no idea why they'd push it back that far unless it's the labor issues, but that doesn't seem to be stopping very many movies at the moment. When they pushed the release date back, though, it opened up a major hole in the Summer 2009 schedule, and studios have been frantically trying to fill it. However, most of the tentpoles are set, so June 19th, kind of like the Get Smart-Love Guru weekend this year at the same spot, is shaping up to be filled with filler.
Variety reports that Disney has thrown another title in Persia's place on June 19th, the Sandra Bullock-Ryan Reynolds rom-com The Proposal. How awful does that sound? Sandra Bullock...romantic comedy...called The Proposal. Yeesh.
Another comedy will now also swoop in on the 19th of June, with Fox's The Tooth Fairy staking its claim for the kiddies. The movie stars Dwayne Johnson, who I'd prefer in more action-oriented stuff, but a guy's gotta eat, I guess.
Will anything cool open on that weekend? Could be. We have the Judd Apatow Factory's 2009 model, Year One, a Old Testament-era comedy directed by Harold Ramis (one of the smartest guys I've ever met in the business of show), which stars Jack Black and Michael Cera. Given the growing clout of all things Apatow (with apologies to Drillbit Taylor...or maybe that should be the other way around), you'd have to put the smart money on this Sony release that weekend.
Will there be other moves in 2009? Possibly Transformers, scheduled for the next week, coincidentally enough. That's entirely contingent on Shia LaBeouf's ability to keep up with the shooting schedule following his recent accident. Even still, it's highly doubtful they'd miss that weekend bleeding over into July 4th, so I'm sure they'll figure something out. Maybe less effects in the third act. Couldn't hurt.

BBM screening on 8/4
In 2008? Was it for a special occasion? Of course, the movie is timeless, and will always be relevant as long as homophobia is alive and well in this society.

Academy Can’t Quit “Brokeback Mountain”
The 2005 Best Picture nominee “Brokeback Mountain” will screen on Monday, August 4, at 7:30 p.m. at the Academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater as the next feature in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ “Great To Be Nominated” series. E. Annie Proulx’s acclaimed short story about the thwarted love between two young men became a heartbreaking romantic drama under the direction of Oscar® winner Ang Lee. Following the screening, producer and screenwriter Diana Ossana and production designer Judy Becker will participate in a discussion about the film.

The Not-So-Uplifting Trailer for Bret Easton Ellis' 'The Informers'
Well this one looks fun. Of course, it is a Bret Easton Ellis adaptation, and nobody can put a smile on your face like that guy.
Actually, this trailer makes the world of The Informers look really screwed up, not that that's always a bad thing as a moviegoer. The tagline pretty much says it all: Greed is good. Sex is easy. Youth is forever. The movie explores the downside to the go-go 1980s, tackling infidelity, addiction, and other lighthearted subjects with a great cast that includes Billy Bob Thornton, Kim Basinger, Winona Ryder, new It-Girl Amber Heard, and Mickey Rourke, and it also marks the final performance of Brad Renfro, which makes the whole dark affair a little more bleak.
Still, this could be incredible if Australian director Gregor Jordan handles the storylines carefully. His career is spotty, however. I liked Buffalo Soldiers but didn't care for his Ned Kelly remake. That's not much to go on, I realize, but that's all I've got.
The thing about Ellis is his books give you so much to work with as a director, most of it admittedly nihilistic, that you should always have a handful of redeeming scenes even if the project as a whole doesn't take flight. This is a three-minute long Red Band trailer for The Informers, which doesn't have an opening date yet, but we believe it's coming out later this year.
From the looks of it, it could be a turnaround role for Winona Ryder (let's hope), and it should further cement Billy Bob Thornton as one of the best, most reliable, and most versatile actors of his generation.

DEA Wraps Heath Ledger Investigation After Getting Their DVD Of 'A Knight's Tale' Signed
Days after implicating Mary-Kate Olsen but months after it began, the DEA inquiry into the death of Heath Ledger has finally wrapped, filing charges against exactly no one. Does it perhaps seem like the U.S. Attorney's Office spent an awful lot of time and money with nothing to show for it? According to TMZ, that's just the beginning — the gossip website alleges that DEA agents essentially used the Ledger investigation as an excuse to talk to supermodels, fly all over the country, and meet people from Hollywood:
Sources connected with the Heath Ledger investigation say the Drug Enforcement Administration set a new low for starf**king.
People who have talked to TMZ off the record are now willing to go on record — still anonymously — about one of the most bizarre DEA power grabs ever. How's this for starters ... no one we've spoken with connected with the case can point to a single DEA case where a massive investigation was launched over an accidental death in which no criminality was even hinted at.
We know the DEA went all over the country, in one case tracking down a guy in California who smoked a joint with Ledger in the '90s, telling him he had to testify in a Grand Jury probe. And how's this for chutzpah ... the DEA told the guy he would have to pay his own way to NYC to testify before the Grand Jury!
Still, that errant joint smoker was hardly the most obscure witness tagged by the DEA; agents interviewed not just high-profile targets like Michelle Williams and Helena Christiansen but also the shirt from Brokeback Mountain, a guy who bought a ticket to The Four Feathers, and Julia Stiles. Finding nothing of value, the agents hung out long enough to see The Dark Knight in IMAX at The Bridge, eventually concluding their investigation when the pimply sixteen-year-old at concessions was unable to determine where exactly the Joker got those wonderful toys.
Defamer
TMZ
I don't think Ted is right, I think they really closed the Heath file, even if it's maybe a bit of an x-file. After DK and after the Gilliam flick we won't hear very much about him anymore. Some will think of him when they see pictures of his daughter.
I know it's not fair, but I'm sometimes really pissed at Heath for what he did.
9:05 Fuckers!
I heard Gilliam will cast Johnny Depp for his newest flick. If Heath was still alive maybe Gilliam would have casted him? Life goes on and Heath's ended so soon. I think he would have gotten so great job offers now after BBM and TDK. I can't help but shake my head in disbelieve because of what he did to himself.
He messed up big time but he didn't kill himself, I wish people got that through their head already.
What a terrible waste, the loss of Heath. I would take those above reports about the DEA with a grain of salt as well. Gov't workers get big travel discounts and per diem meals, so the money they can spend is fixed and limited. There can always be an element of criminality with drugs and human nature, overtly or not. How many times have we read about drs. prescribing drugs for celebrities when they shouldn't have. So it would not be out of the realm of possibility to check it out. Obviously, Heath would not have taken so many drugs in combination if he didn't have an underlying problem, and so he wasn't entirely well when making decisions. Pain killers, sleep aids and anti-anxiety medications are nortoriously addictive medications, depending on someone's susceptibility, and drs. are aware of that, and overprescribe them and may not properly monitor patients, IMO. The thought of combining that many boggles the mind. Doctors are the so-called professionals, not the individual patient. The patient relies on the medical professional's expertise. If MKO gave him anything on top of what he was already taking, she should have questioned that. People don't think anything will happen to them, and I wonder if the rich and famous somehow think they are invincible to what affects mere mortals, both legally and physically. You wonder if MKO's got problems of her own. A crying shame for both Heath and those who love him. I love Ted's comment.
Thank you 8:29 AM!
You're welcome.
I talked to someone the other day and we discussed that Heath initially must have had these anxiety problems and some kind of pain (maybe this back injury this guy from the guardian. uk talked about) in order to get addicted to the meds later on. I'm not saying Heath became addicted, but it's a possibility. The insomnia was ongoing since he complained about it in an interview shortly before he died.
I think whoever gave him this strong painkiller should be found, whether it was MKO or a private doctor who won't admit.
I know I would be scared to take 6 different pills, even during the whole day, not to mention all at once. I'd be concerned for my life.
I'm looking forward to half naked Jake in PoP. I need something positve, the situation with Heath depresses me.
Where are the paparazzi to shoot some photos of, hopefully half naked, Jake?
I'm waiting...
half naked jake

Something cute:
PoP - Little Prince
ITA, 10:12.
Yes, we need to see a pic of Jake in costume for PoP? We need biceps, deltoids, pecs and abs right about now. ;)
The good thing about Jake is, he seems to enjoy stardom and seems to enjoy life in general, I think even more so before he "hooked up" with Witherspoon.
He seems so uncomplicated, maybe he's hiding the fact that he likes peen, but hey what is honesty when he has so much other good qualities? And he's probably only hiding it for his career anyway.
Enjoys life in general? 10:33 AM, are you joking?
Grr:
Jakey
That should be - 10:33 AM #2, are you joking?
"Enjoys life in general? 10:33 AM, are you joking?"
Hey, I said he enjoyed it more before Reeke!
Awwww, the little prince is cute! :)
If he is really hooked up with Witherspoon, I hope he keeps it on the down-low. She really takes away his sexiness. He is refreshingly uncomplicated, which is nice.

Well duh, why else all this media whoring he's been doing?

James Franco on Sean Penn's Penis Envy in Milk
James Franco appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night to talk about Pineapple Express but he seemed much more interested in talking about Milk, and his experience wearing a prosthetic penis in scenes with Sean Penn.
Said Franco: "When I read the script, there was like, one kissing scene. No problem. It's acting....So, but as soon as I signed on I get a new script. Page five, like, full-on love scene. There's like three to five new love scenes in the movie. Gus! What's goin' on? And he said, well, Sean wants it. Sean asked for the love scene."
Added Franco: "Sean's doin it. If he wants to do it, who am I to say no? So the first day of shooting I had to do this scene where everybody else is in clothes and I have to dive into the pool naked. And I was very uncomfortable but the make-up artist on the day handed me this prosthetic penis and said here, you can wear this. It'll make you more comfortable...The scene went on for a long time, like half the day. It's just getting old — diving into this pool naked. And I go over to Sean and I guess he didn't know I was wearing a prosthetic. And I said to Sean, 'You are such a great actor. You wouldn't do a scene like this if they asked . You wouldn't dive into the pool naked,' and he said, not knowing I was wearing a prosthetic he said, 'Well James, if I was built like you, I would.' I didn't say anything. Cut to a couple weeks later we did this scene. We're both dancing and we're both naked, and we both now had prosthetic penises. He finally put it together that I'm wearing the Boogie Nights prosthetic. And he said 'James that time in the pool!' And I said 'Yeah I was wearing the prosthetic.' And he said 'God, I'm so relieved.' And then, he's like 'You show me your prosthetic, I'll show you mine.'"
Watch it, AFTER THE JUMP...
Penis Envy in "Milk"
WHAT?!?
They probably aren't going to show those fake cocks in the movie, but I already feel cheated.
"He is refreshingly uncomplicated, which is nice."
I think that Jake is one of the most complicated actors in Hollywood. That's why this bearding is such a god awful, unconvincing mess.
"I think that Jake is one of the most complicated actors in Hollywood. That's why this bearding is such a god awful, unconvincing mess."

Indeed it works. Those rumors make him mysterious and more interesting for that matter.
We had shirtless, sexy Jake. Now some shirtless Heath pics. He didn't do many shirtless photoshoots (I think just one), but there are some pap pics ;).

a lil more mystery and man, you're history.
I dont find this intrique interesting at all, just manipulative and urp making.
I recognize a nice sixpack here.

Hey what has happened to Ted's Blind Vice?? I thought I was gonna get to read some juicy stories but the site seems to have changed a big time.
Ted mentions Toothy in his latest blog entry about the new format.
"A yellow lily stands for (no joke, we did our research) false and gay—two things Toothy Tile sure knows a ton about."
Love the Heath pics, very sexy.
Both of them have/had :( beautiful bodies but just as different as Jake and Heath themselves, one's more muscular (Jake) while the other's leaner (Heath).

Not-So-Mellow Yellow: Readers Riot Over Format
Damn, folks, when your cozy li'l world is perturbed, you sure know how to scream in all caps about it. Who knew a little change—OK, we admit, a whole Oprah-size buttload of alterations, snips, cuts and hems—could cause such an uproar?
Hope you got all your hideous reactions typed out (the comments that are mere clicks away are just tastes of what’s seething out there, trust), so as to give us a mo' to bitch back, babes. But really, there’s bound to be technical difficulties galore. Most especially sorry about the Blind Vice archive, which my bitchy little techies are busy trying to mend. But ya think Ashlee Simpson waltzed out of her rhinoplasty without a few nicks ‘n’ bruises? A li'l patience and all our glossy new parts should be up and going in no time.
Plus, there’s more to yellow than ya think, besides it sure being an eye-grabber early in the morning. Many lovely things are hued this vibrant shade: bananas, bananas and bananas, for starters!
You can always pour yourself a classy glass of Aussie wine Yellowtail chardonnay (though we prefer lemonade ourselves). A yellow poppy means success, and a zinnia of the same color is for daily remembrance—too perf for a daily blolumn, as this missive has indeed become.
A yellow lily stands for (no joke, we did our research) false and gay—two things Toothy Tile sure knows a ton about. A yellow rose is the sign of friendship—and since we always considered our readers our closest of pals, keep commenting, cause friendships work both ways, dollfaces. We swear we can take whatever hate ya can dish out at us. In fact, the only truly wretched thing we can think of that’s yellow is Lindsay Lohan's fried-out hair.
Seriously LiLo, head back to red already.

He had an obvious weakness for Heath and Heath was very fond of Jake too.
DGA video. Cute Jake and Heath moments:
DGA
Heath's interactions with Jake seemed different to me than with other male co-stars. He acted cutely with him. And Jake always looked at Heath in such a tender, caring way.
I will never forget when Jake won the BAFTA and his spontanuous reaction to Heath. Many even thought Jake was about to kiss Heath.
I figured Jake was up for it but Heath not. Not sure it was sponanteous, thought Jake might have mentioned it aforehand, and they'd joked about it - as in Jake's saying he would shout out "Jack Nasty loves you!" if Heath one.
I want the old Jake baaaaaack!
Shhh! Don't shout! Old Jake is just keeping a very low profile.
5:22, I don't agree. If you watch the video on youtube, Jake went pale when Charlize Theron announced his name, I don't think he even imagined he'd win. I don't think anything was planned. I think it was a spontanuous reaction.
Jake said he enjoyed it building an intimacy with Heath. I think it shows that they enjoyed each other.
Heath often seemed hard on the outside, but I heard he was actually very gentle, nice and generous.
I remember when I wondered why Jake seemed to like Heath so much when Heath seemed so arrogant. But then I read an article from a male journalist (forgot his name) about Heath during the Toronto film festival 2005, how Heath was different in front and behind cameras. He said behind the cameras Heath was more relaxed. He seemed very awkward in front of cameras when he wasn't actually filming.
Hey what has happened to Ted's Blind Vice??
Blind Vice Friday! Closeted Stars Are Dummies!
This is just great. Not only is Crotch Uh-Lastic, whom you all met last week—-and whom I could have sworn it would be at least a few weeks before we all said hullo to again—really does have his brains stuffed deep inside his paramours’ overly tight swimsuits. See, the big-screen idol, whose pics make all kinds of bucks because their themes are all so brilliantly multiplatform, is doing things just like Toothy Tile. Now that word’s just beginning to get out that Crotch loves to lure "straight" men back to his Hollywood pad and have them don all sorts of skimpy swimwear (just so CUL can slowly take it right off), Crotchy-poo’s pullin’ an emergency Toothy!
Suddenly, Crotch's rarely seen (female) significant other is out at events more. Suddenly, the S.O.'s mentioned in media interviews. Suddenly, the S.O., who’s more East Coast based, is in Hell-Ay! None of this happened until more than just days prior to last week's baddy Blind, believe me. Oh, and then—quite the opposite—gone missing are Mr. U.L.’s previously very homo-friendly statements to the press. It’s all so Rock Hudson, really. Or Toothy Tile, as I said before. Now, a word to the surreptitious swim fan: T2, even though a surprisingly large amount of folks are buying this ersatz domesticity you're pulling off so well in the tabloids and such, it ain’t gonna work with you, bro. At least, not while you’re having nooky delivered to your house in limos. At least Tooth keeps it somewhat discreet with the BF!

I will never forget when Jake won the BAFTA and his spontanuous reaction to Heath. Many even thought Jake was about to kiss Heath.
I thought it was just me, maybe reading into it or something. It looked like Jake wanted to share his joy of winning with Heath, wanted to hug him or something, and Heath seemed to get shy and to tense up, and didn't seem very open to it. Poor Jake - that would have been a lovely thing if they had hugged each other.
7:28.. something happened between them after the BAFTA's,as has been discussed ad naesuem they avoided each other at the Oscars and were never pictured together (side by side , smiling in the same frame) after March 2006.. their "great friendship" became a PR fantasy..wonder what wrecked them? drugs? kisses? Always thought there was more "behaving" then acting on the BBM shoot.
their "great friendship" became a PR fantasy
I think their great friendship became private.

Has James Franco ever been eliminated by Ted as Toothy Tile?
Yes, a few times, I think.
7:28.. something happened between them after the BAFTA's
Jake finally couldn't stand it any longer and he made his play that same night. Heath got scared off because he discovered, hell YEAH, he was into it. Like closethefuckingdoorandfuckmenowonthefloor into it. Frightened bunny.
Jake kept hoping and waiting. Heath eventually left Michelle because secretly he was burning up inside over Jake. But he was also deeply conflicted and terribly torn over Matilda.
The couple of encounters he had with Jake just made things worse. The intensity of this love was terrifying. Run away.
Tragedy. Jake is devastated. He can't attend any memorials because he is prostrate with grief. He can't watch The Dark Knight because he is not over the loss. He embarks onto a dark spiral of cynical, empty films, cynical, empty bearding, cynical, empty sex with limo-delivered Heath-substitutes.
Oh Jake. You will never get over Heath.
^ Some parts of this are not fiction. ;)
In terms of today's heading, there's a big difference between Jake and NPH. To put it bluntly, no one cares who NPH f**ks. No one.
He is not a heartthrob, a matinee idol or a hunky A-List actor with an Academy Award nomination. And we won't even talk about NPH headlining any $150 million Disney franchises. The same is true for David Hyde Pierce and TR Knight. They have no idea what Jake is going through right now, and they have never been subjected to this level of scrutiny.
I don't recall the exact words, but Ang Lee said something to the effect that Jake was a rushing river but Heath was the Ocean. Neither description meant to mean one is better or worse, just the yin/yang of it all.
I thought that was how Ang described how Jack and Ennis were to each other, but I could be wrong.
1,000 rushing rivers or something? That's all I remember, not any reference to the ocean.
I cant stop
The way I feel
Things you do
Dont seem real
Tell you what I got in mind
cause we're runnin out of time
Wont you ever set me free?
This waitin rounds killin me
He drives me crazy
Like no one else
He drives me crazy
And I cant help myself
I cant get
Any rest
People say
Im obsessed
Everything thats serious lasts
But to me theres no surprise
What I had, I knew was true
Things go wrong, they always do
He drives me crazy
Like no one else
He drives me crazy
And I cant help myself
I wont make it,
On my own
No on likes,
To be alone
He drives me crazy
Like no one else
He drives me crazy
And I cant help myself
The PoP postponement has as much to do with Disney's fear of Transformers 2 and Shrek 4 as it is a signal to Jake that Disney could pull the plug at any moment if Jake doesn't get his act together.
"He messed up big time but he didn't kill himself, I wish people got that through their head already."
ITA. Most of the feign concern posted here seems to be just more excuses to bash him. He's dead for god's sake.
With Jake, I can't tell the difference between PR and truth anyomre. Is there any truth, or is it all PR? Was he ever truthful in the first place or were we just gullible?
7:56 PM
I don't know maybe you’re right, but I think it was a deliberate PR not to be photographed together after March 2006 they have the same publicist after all.
I remember the Best Kiss speech in July when Jake mentioned Heath he kind of choked up or was it just my imagination?
I think it was Best Performance not Best Kiss.
"when Jake mentioned Heath"
Yep. I thought he was gonna cry when he mentioned Heath.
7:56 are you the same poster who keeps insisting something was wrong between J & H after the BAFTAS? Well here's a pic from the Oscars and look how the boys are looking at each other. Some weeks ago someone here posted an article how Heath, Michelle, Jake and Maggie with Peter hung out together at an Oscar after party.
You are talking BS obviously.
jakeheath
"I think it was Best Performance not Best Kiss."
He won for best kiss and best performance.
Yep. I thought he was gonna cry when he mentioned Heath.
Did you see Heath's reaction in Oprah's show when Oprah mentioned if there was bad blood because Heath gets the most praise from critics. Look at Heath's face he also looked like he was about to cry when she said that. Then Jake said he'd be at the Oscars (I know Jake wasn't at the Globes, he wasn't nominated) and if something happened he'd say "Jack Nasty loves you". Then they started laughing. They were very emotional towards each other.
Jake, "little Jake" and Heath
NPH deservesa a little more attention, no?
NPH deservesa a little more attention, no?
No one's stopping you from discussing him and the interview. The picutre of him is great too.
I remember Doogie Howser was my favourite show when I was a kid.
To put it bluntly, no one cares who NPH f**ks. No one.
Maybe because everyone knows who's the lucky guy: "You and David have been together for 4½ years."
I don’t have a lot of random sex --
Just a little random sex? :)
OUT: You don’t regret that you didn’t get out ahead of Perez Hilton forcing your hand in your coming-out process?
NPH: Hmm. I’m just glad it wasn’t based on scandal. I didn’t want there to be some “we got footage” story where I have to make some sort of statement about some event that happened. But I’m not that scandalous...I don’t have a lot of random sex --
OUT: This interview just got a lot shorter.
NPH: [Laughs] But I’m not -- I’ve never done cocaine. I’m not a crazy partyer. I don’t stay up and rent private jets and go on yachts and whoop it up in Miami. I found a guy that I’m head over heels for and we have similar interests and we spend our time together.
I don’t have a lot of random sex. I’ve never done cocaine.
Ha! He's just showing off.
Doogie is a good boy.
You know something we don't?
But is he a big boy?
Austin strongly objects to the fanfic posted at 9:51!
Austin strongly objects to the fanfic posted at 9:51!
Austin is just jealous because Jakey loved Heathie. ;)
Austy, darling, don’t get upset.
I'm amazed at some of the posters here who seem to be hell bent on creating some sort of a special relationship between Heath & Jake. Why? Because they starred together in BBM and had great chemistry? Hell, anyone would think this is the only movie in which the co-stars have chemistry the way some of you go on and on... or is it that you are unable to distinguish between Heath & Jake and Jack & Ennis? It's pretty pathetic if that's the case.
As for NPH, he's a great guy. At least he's honest in what he says and is not a scaredy cat like Jake. And to the poster who said Jake is A-list - dude, you need to get with the program...
Please don't try to insult us with "you are unable to distinguish between Heath & Jake and Jack & Ennis" crap. Trolls are doing that all the time.
We are not "creating" anything, we are discussing what we think went on between Heath and Jake - based on pictures, interviews and stories from people who worked with them.
Jake said Heath was his "special" friend, we are saying the same.
Oh yeah? So Heath is his special friend, is he? Soooo special that he went on a bearding photo op 4 days after Heath died? And so far has not said one single word about his "special" friend?
You are beyond pathetic.
8:54 AM
Keep your panties on.
You need to accept that we can't know what's in Jake's heart.
9.02, don't give me that crap. That's the stupid motherhood statement everyone comes up with when they have nothing to say.
8.54 Look I personally never said anything about how their relationship was because I have no idea and I’ve never called Heath Jake’s special friend what I did say is that imo Jake totally had feelings for him. Does that bother you too? He’s gay, right and Heath’s a man so what’s the problem especially in this place?
9:15 AM
Who's delusional now? "We can't know what's in Jake's heart" is the simple, indisputable truth.
9.22,
I have no problem at all with what you say. I do believe that Jake is gay. But I find that some posters seem obsessed with there being some sort of special relationship between Heath & Jake. I just don't understand why that is.
9.25
When I make a point, it must be wrong because I can't know what's in Jake's heart, but when you say Heath is Jake's special friend, you must surely be right because you know what's in his heart, right? Jeeze!
And please don't say it's what Jake said, cos we can't look into his heart to see if it's damage control or not, ok?
Oh yeah? So Heath is his special friend, is he? Soooo special that he went on a bearding photo op 4 days after Heath died? And so far has not said one single word about his "special" friend?
O ye of little faith. Why so serious? If Jake had come out with a standard "Heath was a great guy, it's a tragic loss" statement, it would have been because he felt simple sadness over the loss of a guy he'd acted with. But he couldn't and wouldn't do that. Why?
Actually, he was gutted.
That's ironic because you're right, Heath was not a "special friend" by most measures. Ironic because whatever the reality, Jake has built Heath up in his mind into some kind of ideal of both acting and friendship. (The lust part he just jokes about.)
You could argue that it's not sincere and that he's being a drama queen about it, but the fact remains that everyone around Jake walks on eggshells when it comes to Heath.
That's not normal treatment for someone who didn't care too much.
When I make a point, it must be wrong because I can't know what's in Jake's heart, but when you say Heath is Jake's special friend, you must surely be right because you know what's in his heart, right? Jeeze!
You didn't make a point, you trashed others because they don't share your view.
Please read more carefully, I made it very clear that "we are discussing what we think went on between Heath and Jake".
9.51, what are you smoking? LOL!
9:51 AM could be right. 9:51 AM could be wrong. The beauty of speculation.
But 9.51 he was strong enough to do a photo op with his beard! He sure wasn't gutted....
10:12 AM
Awww, you poor trolly. LOL
We're both dancing and we're both naked, and we both now had prosthetic penises.
Et tu, Sean! That's terrible. No one is willing to sacrifice for the art.

Do you call everyone who doesn't agree with you a troll?
No, just trolls who can't resist to post here.
But is he a big boy?
Big enough.
Is Jake wearing Heath's ashes arounf his neck in that round donut lokking thingy around his neck he was spotted wearing in the UKin June while doing a photo op for POP/? The horsey pics? Someone sent mean e-mail and I forwarded it to ted. Was that what he meant when he said back and gayer than ever???
BTW: The real reason Jake is silent: Drugs. He was involved with druggie Kiki, until his family, friends and PR pushed him to dump her. During that time with Kiki, he was involved with a circle of people that were junkies and liked to party.
He did pot and coke, that's it, the rest did meth, smack and other goodies.
I think Jake doing drugs (I believe that rumor) has nothing to do with not paying respect to Heath. It does not make sense.
Kiki was in the rehab but no one suggested Jake is doing drugs. No one thinks Bale uses drugs because he made two movies with Heath and paid his respect.
Someone sent mean e-mail
To whom?
Didn't he used to hang out with Sam Ronson (a well know celeb drug supplier) when he was with Kiki? I think there're some pics of them together.
known
I think there're some pics of them together.
Yes. IHJ gallery.
Someone from the dc forum where i used to post sent me an e-mail claiming that Jake was wearing something around his neck with Heath's ashes, it was exposed during the horse pic/photo op. I forwarded it th Ted.
Ronson has long been known to be a drug pusher to the young hipster crowd. There was a period in '05, May/June where Jake was photographed with Ronson: The pool pics with Kiki, pics of him having lunch and walking Atticus and some in a van with Eve, another druggie eating lunch. Those pics are interesting because Jake looks high as does he in the pool pics, high and goofy.
This was the year of Proof/Jarhead/BBM, couldn't have him still involved with junkie kiki and the rest of that crowd so bye, bye!!!
I bet the feds didn't question Bubble boy about Heath since he made sure all ties were cut.
Silence=he doesn't have to answer questions about drugs, something people are aware of.
Do you have any idea why would someone send such e-mail (just?) to you?
How could one get such inside info? Did he/she mention the source?

I don't think anybody here knows if Jake's wearing Heath's ashes or not.

I think Ted meant he looks gayer than ever in the horse pics.

Actor and comedian Bernie Mac dies at age 50
" CHICAGO - Bernie Mac, the actor and comedian who teamed up in the casino heist caper "Ocean's Eleven" and gained a prestigious Peabody Award for his sitcom "The Bernie Mac Show," died Saturday at age 50.
Actor/comedian Bernie Mac passed away this morning from complications due to pneumonia in a Chicago area hospital," his publicist, Danica Smith, said in a statement from Los Angeles.
She said no other details were available and asked that his family's privacy be respected.
The comedian suffered from sarcoidosis, an inflammatory lung disease that produces tiny lumps of cells in the body's organs, but had said the condition went into remission in 2005. He recently was hospitalized and treated for pneumonia, which his publicist said was not related to the disease."

11:58: They didn't just send it to me, it was to several other Dc posters,and no i won't name them because they post here as well. It was speculation, they thought I was all wrapped up in the J/H/slash stuff, but i pointed out that no i wasn't and i am able to seperate fact from fantasy unlike some others and that's why i no longer post on the dc forum. They still had my e-mail, the speculation was done through PM's not the open forum.
I sent it it to Ted to se if he would use it at some point like he usally does.
I haven’t been back to visit DC forum since last year. That "J/H/slash stuff" started after Heath died? I don't remember seeing such DC posts.
My post was supposed to be like this:
1:02 J/H slash stuff on DCF ISN'T welcome at all unless you mean in stories and that goes in the Slash treads.
I haven't read any speculation on the open forum on J/H except about their friendship and that's very rare too because this is more or less a verboten subject there.
That "J/H/slash stuff" started after Heath died? I don't remember seeing such DC posts.
No, there aren't posts like that on DC.
No posts like that? Did I misunderstood 1:02 PM?
No posts like that? Did I misunderstood 1:02 PM?
No I don't think you misunderstood 1:02, all I'm saying it that "J/H/slash stuff" posts on DC are pretty much nonexistent.
No the speculation is/was communicated through PM's NOT on the open forum there. The slash stuff is kept on the slash threads.
When Heath died I got a few e-mails from DC posters speculating, i stopped posting there last year but kept in touch with some posters because we became friends.
I was a bit wooried for soemsince it seams that they had lost grip on reality, and thse for the most part were middle-aged women, not healthy at all.
If NPH, TK Knight and Ellen can be out, doesn't it mean that the closet is slowly opening in HW. So the next step would be for a leading male actor. Didn't Robert Downey Jr. do an interview years ago where he said he was gay/bi? He had just got out of prison.

A lot of my peer group think I'm an eccentric bisexual, like I may even have an ammonia-filled tentacle or something somewhere on my body. That's okay.
Silence=he doesn't have to answer questions about drugs, something people are aware of.
IA. Doesn't mean he doesn't still like Heath. It's just for image reasons.
Non of us know anything about Jake's and Heath's relationship, but there is a 50/50 chance they had something going on. I think Jake wanted him and tried to get into his pants, whether Heath let him will forever remain a mystery to us.
11:12, hilarious. I hadn't heard about the ashes, but that's a good one.
You're right about Kiki. Jake drops people that become a risk.
He's a big pussy (he only takes frat boy kinds of risks. "We fucked on the Governor's lawn!") and no doubt the Heath OD situation scared him. And maybe some in his circle told him to keep silent because any drug connection could boomerang on his image. He obviously gets some stupid advice, going by the Rome debacle.
But if Jake's management team really wanted to distance him from Heath due to the drug angle, they would have come up with a pro forma expression of condolence. The silence just ratched up interest over how Jake was taking it and any agent worth 2 frappuccinos knows that. Now Heath has become the elephant in the room for Jake and, trust, his people didn't want that. There was more going on behind the scenes than just the drugs worries when it came to what Jake didn't do.
3:09 don't be a drama queen. We're just discussing their relationship. We also discussed Jake's relationship with Austin and his likely fake relationship with Reese. So what?
Hey 3:09PM, why don't you put your money where your mouth is? What do you believe and why are YOU here? If you have some good goss about Jake, spill. Otherwise, YOU are boring.
3:09 You want posters here to talk about Jake and Reese, Austin or Chris? Let's go. You first.
I bet 3:09 PM is "gay rumors started because Jake played gay in Brokeback Mountain" guy.
Nobody in one single post suggested they knew for a fact that Jake and Heath were a couple. Posters here are speculating.
There are speculations about many of Jake's relationships real or fake, platonic or romantic.

LOL, I love RDJ. I've always wondered if he really is bi. Maybe he's gay but didn't feel confident enough to come out and there's also the fact that he has a wife which would mean he's bearding hence the bi thing. I could be way off tho.
I think many actors and singers (artists) have experimented with the same sex. They are more open for it than regular Joe and Jane.
There must be someone protecting these closeted actors. Anyone remember when someone threaten Rock Hudson and the studio gave up another actor? Why hasn't any sex tapes etc. never appear.
Maybe there will appear a Jake & Austin or a Leo and Tobey sex tape? Now that'd be fun. ;)
3:55 Agreed.
I've thought about it WFT was initially something like a Jake/Austin fanblog, now with all the Heath/Jake talk, I think some fans feel "threatened". I want to say, don't worry, Jake and Heath were probably only friends with Jake perhaps having a little crush. But Jake and Austin were probably an item and still have the chance to reconnect. Heath is not a "threat" anymore anyway.
If I'm wrong in my assumption, I apologize.
Blind Vice Friday! Closeted Stars Are Dummies!
James Franco is bearding with Ahna O'Reilly?
Remember H'wood kids are raised on fantasy and the most embedded one is gorgeous home, wife and kids - RDJ said something about how good to be clean because you can get those things. Kinda like getting fucked by yr own grandpa, or something.
Older pap pic of RDJ and Jake. Jake seems drunk:

Jake seems to have a good time.
Jake and Dunst. I believe their relationship was genuine and like Ted said during their relationship Jake realized he had something in common with Dunst... the boys.
