Dear Ted:
What's this you said in the last Truth, Lies & Ted about my favorite actor of all time, Paul Newman? You were talking about what a shame it would be if sham couple Jake and Reese tried to make like a "modern-day Paul and Joanne." I'll still love him anyway, but tell me one of H'wood's greatest love stories ain't a sham! Love you and your bitchin' bitchiness.
—Lauren, Chicago
Dear Newman's Own Fan:
No fakery we know of betwixt Paul and his longtime sweetie. Meant it would be heresy if J&R played house like those two, 'cause they ain't nothing like the real thing.
Dear Ted:
Are Reese and Jake the new TomKat? I think robot-boyfriend Jake is the new Katie.
—Gray
Dear GyllenKat:
I think they're both robots.

Morning Piss: Gyllenspoon-Fed Merde
J'adore Reese and Jake. Those sweethearts are two of the most talented, adorable and luscious babes to hit T-town in some time.
Don't agree?
Think Reese is just a pixie-ish little waif with pale sex appeal? Think again. And if you consider Jake all boyish 'n' bashful brooding, no real outward he-man stuff goin' down, think again on that score, as well. R 'n' J are both terrifically not of what you see in real life.
And this whole aw-shucks romance they've got going down is so not how both types really are — why in the world the public is lapping it up, hook, line and photo-op, is beyond me.
Just look at their pics together, everybody! They act like bro 'n' sis (and not even particularly close ones, at that). These babes have movies and careers and agendas to sell, oldest story in the world. Jen and Vince, anyone?
Ms. W is the craftiest broad alive; she's teaching J.G. spectacularly well. Just ask Ryan Phillippe if you don't believe this to be a high probability. But on the other hand, if this sorta white-bread, milquetoast romance is what you need to get your fantasy on every morning, then, dears, go right ahead, be my limp guest.
I just prefer my Awful readers to be fully informed consumers, that's all.

Yes, that's right 6:55 AM.
6:22 AM post is about Michael K's guess: Easy! Reese Witherspoon & Vince Vaugh.
Reeke is painfully boring.
That's something that was also there in the interview on Graham Norton last night. If you'd never read anything about her you wouldn't know that she was just talking about the usual things: her farm, her kids, the usual. Any star when over-exposed will become a little boring of course but it's more than that.
She was perky and smiley but it couldn't disguise the fact she's not witty or entertaining in her own right.
Then again I'm not sure how interesting Jake is really.
^Her co-guest Paul O' Grady is a naturally funny person and she didn't seem to know how to respond to him.
Based on the interviews Jake is veeeeeeeery interesting :)

Milk Inspires Roger Ebert to Come Out as Straight
Ebert, like nearly every other reviewer in the nation (I said nearly), is raving about Milk and Sean Penn's performance, noting Milk's 70's campaign to bring gays out of the closet. Ebert notes that Milk's campaign for sexual openness has had much success, and suggests in not such explicit terms that he's behind efforts to make the Mormon church (and others against equality) pay for its anti-gay initiatives:
"In 1977, Harvey Milk became the first openly gay man elected to public office in the United States. Yes, but I have become so weary of the phrase 'openly gay.' I am openly heterosexual, but this is the first time I have ever said so. Why can't we all be what we prefer? Why can't gays simply be gays, and 'unopenly gays' be whatever they want to seem? In 1977, it was not so. Milk made a powerful appeal to closeted gays to come out to their families, friends and co-workers, so the straight world might stop demonizing an abstract idea. But so powerful was the movement he helped inspire that I believe his appeal has now pretty much been heeded, save in certain backward regions of the land that a wise gay or lesbian should soon deprive of their blessings."
I object to Ebert's use of "prefer" but his sentiment is in the right direction.
Penn said, in an interview late last week, "I think less people would have died of AIDS [if Harvey Milk had not been assassinated]. I think Ronald Reagan would have been forced to address it. [Milk] was a leader, and he happened to be focused on the gay movement. He would have advanced that argument a lot sooner. I think people are dead because he died too soon."
Penn also condemned Prop 8: "If we could have no excuse for being ignorant in human history, then the punishment for support of Proposition 8 would be minimally manslaughter. There will be teenage boys who will hang themselves [because of this]."
Earlier this month I saw Milk (which I should also disclose, and you may have noticed, advertises on this site). As I noted back then, it's a powerful, classy, elegant, film. If there's anything I would add to that review is that if you see the film (it opens today) this weekend (whether it's at a Cinemark theatre or not), you should take a straight friend, preferably one who's not fully convinced that gays deserve rights under our Constitution.
Because Penn's Harvey Milk will likely, to use the leader's phrase, recruit them.
Yesterday it was announced that Penn would be the one to present Gus van Sant with a special tribute award at the Gotham Awards at Cipriani in New York City.
A.O. Scott of the New York Times said in his review of Milk: "...[it's] the best live-action mainstream American movie that I have seen this year. This is not faint praise, by the way, even though 2008 has been a middling year for Hollywood. 'Milk' is accessible and instructive, an astute chronicle of big-city politics and the portrait of a warrior whose passion was equaled by his generosity and good humor. Mr. Penn, an actor of unmatched emotional intensity and physical discipline, outdoes himself here, playing a character different from any he has portrayed before."
Milk Inspires
"Then again I'm not sure how interesting Jake is really."
It depends. Interviews on Jonathan Ross and the Gooberballs bit (peanut-balls? was this a self indictment?) were embarassingly awkward, I thought. Also Zodiac commentary. But he can come through, if managed well. He's intuitive, visceral - but not thoughtful and articulate -
How he hooked up for PR purposes and mutual support with a hard little piece like RW casts a diff'rent light on him - revealing what? I dunno - do you?
. . . was this a self indictment?)
I felt that way when he made the Gooberballs comment on Letterman - I didn't find it funny at all, it actually made my ears perk up, and I found his way of admitting he might not have had the strength to do something, and wasn't proud of it. Not only the words, but the way he said it. But, that's JMO. Everybody thought is was funny, and he laughed outwardly, but was anything but happy inside.
^^or could be anything but happy inside. I should say I found it funny/ironic, not funny/ha-ha. ;)
How he hooked up for PR purposes and mutual support with a hard little piece like RW casts a diff'rent light on him - revealing what? I dunno - do you?
I don't see any mutual support, just PR.
There's no light on Jake, he lives in a shadow, revealing nothing.
I wasn't so sure who needed whom more - but in light of all of the PR blitz, it's apparent to me that he's her life preserver, and not only professionally. I'm sure he lends a strong shoulder for her, but I don't know if it's romantic, more of a good friend? I don't see hot romance when I look at them, and by all descriptions she's not got a lot of warmth anyway. :(
There's very little mention of him, it's all her lately. He's happy to be relegated to the shadows lately, I am wondering.
I'm sure he lends a strong shoulder for her...
LOL, you must be joking.
There's very little mention of him, it's all her lately.
Nothing changed, it was all about Reese from the start - Nov 2006.
I wasn't so sure who needed whom more - but in light of all of the PR blitz, it's apparent to me that he's her life preserver, and not only professionally.
How on Earth did you conclude that from the latest Reese's PR crap fest?
Becaaaausssse . . .
Her career may be floundering? 4xmases is getting abyssmal reviews. And as others have said, a young, hot bf could make her look like she's overcome a painful divorce and is "back on top".
That was obvious 2 years ago (see WFT comments).
Plus, the whole thing, from the beginning, just "reekes" of trying too hard, including all of the recent promotions. Who are they trying to convince?
Average public. And it works because average public doesn't care about Reeke or Reese, it's just another celebrity tidbit.
Absolutely. I guess what I meant to say is the longer it goes on, the more apparent it becomes that it's for public consumption.

Saw Milk last night! Great film.
Praise and thanks to Penn, Hirsch, Brolin, Franco, van Sant et al. :)
New pics - Reese looks bad without the full make-up treatment.
I 'm glad Jake didn't have to spend the evening just with her.
10:10 AM
First things first - how were the sex scenes?
:D sex scenes - not bad, but not much. A little slap on the hiney. Some good kisses :) :-*
I expect others enjoyed the movie too?
I would be over the moon to have him in my life. Oh, to watch him sleep, dark head on the pillow, dark lashes, smile curving on these heavenly lips, naked body warm under the sheets. To wake him up with a kiss on his mole and to see blue sapphires opening up and looking back at you. Sigh...
Jake baby, who loves you?
November 28, 2008 5:44 AM
5:44AM is a slash writer or fantasist.
"Oh, to watch him sleep, dark head on the pillow, dark lashes, smile curving on these heavenly lips, naked body warm under the sheets."
The dark head is full of cooties these days, 5:44, maybe he could wear a one of those knit sleeping caps. You wanna watch him sleep while hot dreams of sugarplums of Spanish stunt men dance thu his head - ?
I think you're in the wrong room, sweetie.
Why do you presume 5:44 AM
is a female?
I dont hear anyone making that assumption.
From the Gossip Girl website: "Jake and Reese looked like a pair of holiday love birds as they enjoyed their time together, while Gwyneth’s husband Chris Martin was noticeably absent-----"
Is there a picture of them being love birds together or is that the assumption of the writer?
two dirty birds
and a partridge in a pear tree
Read in a German magazine that Reese wants to spend Christmas with her kids and their daddy. Jake supposedly is not too happy about it.
Average public. And it works because average public doesn't care about Reeke or Reese, it's just another celebrity tidbit.
Come on people, everyone here should know ^this by now. We are a very small part of the average public and I mean very small. We can and do scrutinize and pick apart the things the mainstream media don't see or could care less about, Public Relations for Reese and Jake or any other celebrity knows this.
"Jake supposedly is not too happy about it."
I think that Jake is avoiding his family and his family is avoiding him.
I think that Jake is avoiding his family and his family is avoiding him.
Wouldn't surprise me, considering what's going on at the moment with the Gyllenhaals.
More and more people are getting their gossip from the internet; Reeke, I mean US Weekly's newsstand sales plunged 10 percent in the first half of this year. Does anyone really thing the under 40 gossip crowd gets most of its fix from the rags? And all anyone has to do is glance at the comments to see what people really think of them.
If Pr really thinks that is where it is at anymore than Reeke's pr are dinosaurs when it comes to the media. Of course they're not total dinosaurs since they clearly monitor this site and OMG, but I'm not sure if all the fine-tuning they do as a result is due to some misguided belief we'll change our minds, or if they're just lazy and like to steal ideas from us.
^^ I guess my point was Jake is not that big of a celebrity yet. No matter how much we here like/love him, he is still mostly unknown to the vast public! Now Reese is better know but, she does not generate the mass appeal as of the top female celebrity's. Most people look right past the mags with R/J on them and most people will see Reese or Jake movie if the subject matter is interesting to them or what they like. I may be wrong, but I don't think anyone of them can open a movie with just their name at top billing. For Reese, maybe 7 or 8 years ago. JMO
For Reese, maybe 7 or 8 years ago.
She definitely isn't as "big" and popular as she used to be.
I can't tell from those photos, did they arrive together or just show up at the same party together. No couple picutres at all.
LOL ... more crap :)
http://www.pr-inside.com/reese-witherspoon-s-trampoline-talent-r940469.htm
Reese Witherspoon is an "incredible trampolinist". The 'Four Christmases' star has revealed the secret talent which she has spent hours developing since she was a child. She said: "I'm an incredible trampolinist. I had one in my back garden when I was a kid and I used to be on it for like three hours a day."
The actress is also a master in the kitchen after her boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal bought her lessons last year. She added: "I am a pretty good cook, I can cook anything. I am actually really good at making Sunday dinners."
Reese - who has two children with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe - has also revealed her love for English food. She added: "The food in London is so good. Americans have this fallacy that the food in the UK is bad. "They should all go there and see for themselves how wrong that is." 'Four Christmases' is released in the US and UK today (28.11.08).
What a jerk! every kid knows how to bounce on an effing trampoline. and any thirty plus year old woman who does not know how to make a decent Sunday dinner is a complete fool.
She seems to have the mentality of a twelve year old - maybe eleven -
"I'm a great trampolinist!" This is like saying you're a world class six year old.
I dunno. Short people have no reason, short people have no reason, short people have no reason to live.
Her spike heels are pathetic. I hope she falls on her nose. Geeeze!
^^ :) Again, I ask, what does he see in her? It's gotta be a fauxmance.
"The dark head is full of cooties these days, 5:44, maybe he could wear a one of those knit sleeping caps. You wanna watch him sleep while hot dreams of sugarplums of Spanish stunt men dance thu his head - ?
I think you're in the wrong room, sweetie."
for sure , you fantasy is worth his/hers!
I thought no movie star could utter a word on their own without first consulting and getting the approval of their publicists? Is that the best they could come up with? ;)
Again, I ask, what does he see in her? It's gotta be a fauxmance.
LOL. As if he's better then her. Puhlease! Both pretentious famewhores.
Jake supposedly is not too happy about it.
Standard tabloid BS.
I think that Jake is avoiding his family and his family is avoiding him.
Why would Jake avoid his family?!?
Why would Jake avoid his family?!?
Well, didn't we read he supposedly was embarassed because of his dad? Doesn't he have a fling with Cantara or whatever her name is?
Just read a post on ONTD about box office results that Four Xmas pushed Twlight out of the #1 spot & is expected to do so for the rest of the weekend. I don't get it. Every single review of the movie said it sucked, why would people go see a sucky movie?
No fling with cuntara.
He was involved with a blonde producer, that was the gossip.
" why would people go see a sucky movie?"
NYTimes and salon.com gave 4C good review.
It's scoring 25% on Rotten tomatoes. 4C is a bad movie.
G family and friends (Jamie Lee, for instance) are pretty politically pompous progressives -
Poppag has a weird blog, I call him Poppagag.
Doesnt mean Jake is embarrassed,though. God knows who and what Jake is, besides GAY AS A GOOSE.
Hence: We Also Serve Who Only Stand and Wait.
Well, didn't we read he supposedly was embarassed because of his dad? Doesn't he have a fling with Cantara or whatever her name is?
What that has to do with Jake? Jake is embarassed and the rest of the family is not?
I may be wrong, but I don't think anyone of them can open a movie with just their name at top billing.
I think you're right. Vince got first billing for a reason.
Is there a link to Graham Norton's show with Reese?
Posted on OMG
Did anyone see Graham Norton show? I tried Youtube and BBC but theres nothing.
Defamer is calling 4xmas a dog. I think there could be a backlash from those who went to see the film. Lured in by the thought of a happy xmas movie and the old perky Reese. Leave having seen dogmeat and the shrillest woman on earth. may think twice about seeing another of her movies.
Reeke do not look they they dressed wihtin 5 miles of each other. She is all dolled up. He looks like he is going out to mow the lawn.
He looks like he is going out to mow the lawn.

James Franco calls for Oscar glory for Ledger's Joker
Actor James Franco has paid tribute to the realism of the late Heath Ledger's performance as The Joker. Writing as part of Variety's 'Contenders' issue, in which actors single out their fellow professionals for praise ahead of the awards season, Franco said the Australian's role in The Dark Knight had real emotional depth.
Unusually for a blockbuster film - with The Dark Knight second in all-time box office takings, behind Titanic - the Batman Begins sequel has been widely tipped for Oscar recognition in 2009. Director Christopher Nolan is thought a likely nominee while the power of Ledger's turn as The Joker saw critics and audience touting him for a posthumous acting Oscar.
Having starred in a comic book film himself - as Harry Osborn in the Spider-Man films - Franco admitted that Ledger's work in The Dark Knight was "great".
"With any superhero movie villain, everybody is still contending with the huge shadow that Jack Nicholson cast with the first Batman," he went on. "His was such an indelible performance. Heath had to be very conscious of it when he and Christopher Nolan went into their movie. "And they did such an incredible job of getting away from the Nicholson character while being faithful to the idea of the Joker."
Franco added: "Heath wasn't the funniest of Jokers, but certainly the more grounded of villains. At least on an emotional level, you could follow why he was doing this stuff; there was real emotional depth."
The Dark Knight may be re-released in January in a bid for Oscar glory, Warner Bros revealed in September.

YAY! I need to refresh my memory. ;)
This is Jake's rebellion - many times now we've seen Reese doll up and Jake just shows up. Hee! :)
Only one pic? No going or leaving together? How odd! Jeese, Jake's pic could have been taken anywhere....I'll wait till more pics of the party surface. If they do, that is!
I dont think Reese is well. She doesnt look like a well person. Walkin' around on her tippytoes in six inch heels can't be good for her feet.
Some of the pics of Reese from the 4xmas premiere that surfaced a few days later (on ONTD) were not flattering at all. After a certain age, losing weight makes you look shrill and haggard, not good. She does look off in that London pic.
What bit of Jake's hair that is showing looks unclean. Another way he shows his rebellion.
"Only one pic? No going or leaving together?"
Don't worry. We'll be treated to a color album of staged photos. You know the drill - the fag-hag and the closeted gay man, off shopping in Trafalgar Square, hoping for some innocent fun and privacy, chaperoned by 20 of their best friends from the pararazzi. We know the routine. Expect some PDA since the rugrats aren't around. x17 and InTouch will have the 'exclusive photos'.
We'll probably see something by 2pm Saturday. Any bets?
off shopping in Trafalgar Square
Not many stores in Trafalgar Square (more like the National Gallery and St.Martin -in-the-Fields Church).
Perhaps you mean "shopping on the Oxford Street".
9:30 am...
"he's her life preserver"
Does'nt seem like even he is willing to throw out the dingy to her at this point. He's too busy clinging to the damn thing himself!
Please, don't let posed pap pics from Reeke fool you. Reese is phony, pretengious, calculating and annoying and Jake has become so as well. They both now how to go about life and not have their pics taken by paps, their pics are only taken when it's OK with them. Jake's been in England for months and we don't get pap pics every weekend. He must do something in his time off besides sit in his house, how come the paps aren't interested in that? Reese just spent a week in NYC, we didn't get pap pics of her every day shopping. You know she didn't sit in her hotel all day. If it wasn't for this blog and OMG, my fangirl love of Jake would have been buried 6ft. under already.
Please, don't let posed pap pics from Reeke fool you.
Don't worry :)

Obama Hasn't Decided "Don't Ask-Don't Tell" Time Frame Yet
President-Elect Barack Obama may not be delaying his reversal of "Don't Ask-Don't Tell" after all.
After last week's news that the incoming administration would delay til 2010 to remove the policy responsible for thousands of gay and lesbian soldiers to be discharged from service, an anonymous source within the Obama camp tells the Washington Blade that no decision has been made either way, saying, “These decisions will not be made before the full national security team is in place.”
In other words, it's not that Obama has decided to put off "Don't Ask-Don't Tell", it's that he's put off deciding.

The Jonas Brothers ‘Burn Up’ Black Friday
The Jonas Brothers each proudly hold up a copy of their new book, “Burning Up: On Tour With The Jonas Brothers”, in New York City on Friday afternoon.
The brothers - Nick, Joe and Kevin - made an appearance on Good Morning America earlier this morning to promote their book that they describe as a scrapbook for their fans.
The musical trio were in the hot seat and asked a zillion questions by their fans. When asked what actors they would like to play them in a movie version of their life, Joe claimed Jake Gyllenhaal, while Nick quickly snatched up: “Josh Groban.”

Will Celebs Be Flocking to Obama's Inauguration?
Do we know yet which of Hollywood's lovable lefties will be going to the inauguration in January? I imagine celebs will be falling all over themselves to see Obama.
—Lillianne, Texas
Indeed! In fact this B!tch has learned that several celebrities will be cutting short their snow-frolicking at the Sundance Film Festival to watch the swearing in, while others will simply descend from their thrones on Olympus for a few hours of patriotic revelry. Exactly which 30 Rock actress is expected to be in the VIP section when Barack Obama swears on the Bible on Jan. 20, 2009? Well...
Not Tina Fey, sorry. At least, she isn't confirmed yet. But Jane Krakowski sure is, along with Anne Hathaway, Maggie Gyllenhaal, her man Peter Sarsgaard, Spike Lee, Kerry Washington, Josh Lucas and a whole bunch of others. The stars are being rounded up by the Creative Coalition, an organization created to bring Hollywood together with political and social causes. And just in case you were wondering, these particular stars aren't just bandwagon fans who clamored for tickets once Obama won.
"Anne, Josh, Susan [Sarandon] and Spike were all with us at the Democratic National Convention as well," a publicity rep for the Creative Coalition told me. "Maggie and Peter are a recent addition to the group who joined us at our pre-Hofstra debates event on Long Island. "They will be coming as a group, many straight from the Creative Coalition's involvement at Sundance. That's commitment!"
And some seriously enviable access. The stars are expected to attend some combination of the inauguration—traditionally held at the Capitol building in Washington, D.C.—and more than a dozen anticipated balls, including parties thrown by the Creative Coalition itself, Obama's people and Joe Biden's.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/eonline/20081113/en_top_eo/68551
So exciting. :)
The stars are being rounded up by the Creative Coalition, an organization created to bring Hollywood together with political and social causes.
I'm glad that Anne, Maggie and Peter are involved. Jake?
He seems to be under a gag rule or something, because Reese doesn't wear her political heart on her sleeve, perhaps? :(
Is that right?
I don't know for sure - I read somewhere on the blogs that Reese won't discuss anything of a personal nature or politics, and from what I can see of her, that's been true, except a little bit about some of the causes she's involved in. Or maybe a studio clampdown is influencing Jake to shut it. Whatever it it, I hate it. Gag is the operative word. :(
We don't need any distractions, "a perfect boyfriend" is all we need from Jake.
He was already perfect, why'dya hafta go and change him, huh? ;)
12:52 PM, God leave him alone!
It was a crappy year, Heath, who I think he was closer to than we might think, died. In the photos were he leaves L.A. with Reese and the kids for Mexico, he had a crazy look in his eyes (take a look). Mental breakdown or something?
His parents divoreced, maybe it's harder for him than Maggie?
I don't say that I'm loving the connection with Reese be it a ro- or fauxmance. And I didn't like the photo (s) (op's) shortly after Heath passed. But people make mistakes in their lives.
He won't stay forever with Reese and his career'll be fine.
Maybe we should all back off!
We don't change our clients, we just provide them new rulebooks.
I agree, he's had a very rough year. :( His parents divorce I'm sure is very difficult, and the loss of Heath.
His parents divorce I'm sure is very difficult, and the loss of Heath.
For the live of mine I don't get why people underestimate this.
^^Me either. It's never easy, no matter when it happens. The kids feel torn.
Jerry Bruckheimer is a hard core conservative, I believe - can't believe he wields power in this respect, but who knows. somebody's scared Jake straight. ya wouldnt want all these twelve year old boys fallin' in love with a homo prince.
What's this?
"Let's be nice to Jake" day? :)
1:53 PM, rather "lets back off a bit" day.
I know he made mistakes and things I do not approve of, but as I said, people make mistakes.
It's just that I don't get why people are underestimating his reaction to Heath's death and his parent's divorce. His heart is not made of stone after all.
I wish he'd said somthing about Heath....
cynical Reese convinced him not to.
yeah but he sold his sorry ass to the company store. who cares about his private woes? everybody's got private woes.
on the other hand, whose integrity is intact let those among us cast the first stone etcetc (o shit there I go, being kind to Jake. . . )
well it is thanksgiving weekend, Im thankful he didnt put out his eye or somethin' worse than selling himself down the river like the whore he is. . .
2:04 PM, I guess we have to accept that, for whatever reason, he chose to stay silent, whether we like it or not. :(
yeah but he sold his sorry ass to the company store.
He chose to do a very commercial movie that could bring him a lot of money and fame. It's his decision. If some fans continue to follow him or not is not his problem.
cynical Reese convinced him not to
I'm sure Jake doesn't give a shit about her opinion.
If some fans continue to follow him or not is not his problem.
Jake is doing a very commercial movie but doesn't care about the fans?
That doesn't make sense.
See 2:23, with PoP it doesn't matter who'll star in it, ya know? So, it's not that important for his current fans to go see it. PoP, if a success, will enlarge his fanbase anyway.
^I guess I want to say, even if a newcomer starred in it, it could be a success or failure. It'll depend on how enjoyable the movie is. If it is enjoyable, it'll be a success, no matter if Jake Gyllenhaal or Mr. Nobody is the male lead in it. IMO.
It matters who's playing James Bond, but it didn't enlarge Daniel Craig's fanbase.
It matters who's playing James Bond, but it didn't enlarge Daniel Craig's fanbase.
Yeah, but because he's quite unattractive and uncharismatic, IMO. Not that good of an actor either.
"'yeah but he sold his sorry ass to the company store.'
"'He chose to do a very commercial movie that could bring him a lot of money and fame. It's his decision. If some fans continue to follow him or not is not his problem.'"
Its not PoP that has disgusted me, but the fauxmance, letting himself be used in that way.
2:32 PM
I don't know, people love him as Bond. Some claim he's the best Bond ever.
Its not PoP that has disgusted me, but the fauxmance, letting himself be used in that way.
Well, if it is a fauxmance, I think he and Reese use each other equally. She, to appear desirable after her ex dumped her and Jake to appear straight to further his career. After all, he's a big boy and agreed to do it, no one forced him.
2:38 PM, it's Sean Connery for me. No doubt!
"Well, if it is a fauxmance, I think he and Reese use each other equally. She, to appear desirable after her ex dumped her and Jake to appear straight to further his career. After all, he's a big boy and agreed to do it, no one forced him."
I dont care about who's using who, and of course it's his choice. However, it's a choice that I, personally, find dishonest, as it seems to be a PR stunt and a lie. In my book, this is contemptuous of your audience.

Reese's movie made a shitload of cash, even though it got crap reviews. I sure won't waste my money, just for her to further enojoy her private jets and priviledged lifestyle. She earns 15-20 per film. Why do Hollywood stars earn so much money? I mean even 1 million per film would be more than enough.
Surgeons who save lifes can only dream earning so much. Oh well.
She earns 15-20 per film.
Of course she doesn't. For example, Rendition and Penelope are nowhere near that.
Oh no, I used to think noone could play Bond like Sean Connery, but I've since been shown that Daniel Craig can do it. He, in my opinion, is now the best Bond ever. I find him extemely attractive, and more than that, he's got lots of sex appeal, and very charismatic. I love him as Bond, and can't wait for the next one. I also loved Eva Green as Vesper Lynd, and I wish they'd find a way to bring her back to be with him. I really liked the storyline of Quantum of Solace. :)

PETERS HIT WITH MALE SEX SUIT
JON Peters has been hit with a shocking new barrage of sex charges - this time by a male staffer who claims the powerful Hollywood producer of "Superman Returns" and "Ali" sexually roughed him up and threatened to break his legs.
In a lawsuit filed this week in Los Angeles Superior Court, Brian Quintana - a co-producer with Peters on the upcoming "Superman: Man of Steel" - alleges that Peters subjected him to "continuous and pervasive sexual harassment." The suit states there were "multiple instances where he was physically, sexually harassed by Peters, including being groped by male individuals at Peters' behest." Peters would "wrestle and rough up [Quintana] in a sexual manner . . . fondle himself in front of [Quintana] . . . often place his hand on [Quintana's] leg in a sexual manner," as well as "touch" his buttocks, the suit alleges.
In addition, according to the suit, Peters demanded that Quintana "drive male individuals onto the set for the purposes of granting sexual favors for members of the cast and crew [and] cover up allegations that . . . Peters engaged in sexually inappropriate acts in front of children."
Quintana, in the court papers, also charges that Peters threatened to "break his legs" and fired him after he refused to "perjure himself" by signing documents stating that Peters had completed community service for a DUI conviction.
Peters, a one-time boyfriend of Barbra Streisand, is already being sued by two female former staffers who claim that he sexually harassed them. One, Blanca Hernandez, claims that Peters touched her breasts and buttocks, tried to push her onto his bed when he was naked, tried to kiss her breasts and offered her money for sex.
Reese Witherspoon out shopping in London, November 29
Please, don't shoot me, but I like her in these pictures, just walking casually, smiling quietly to herself. The boots are great. Sometimes I think she cannot be that bad. She is just this petite woman. She sure has her weak moments, she cries, feels tired or she can't handle the kids.I sometimes wonder what she is like as a friend, if she goes shopping with her friends, if she gets drunk talking about men at "girls only" parties, if she stares blankly at herself in the mirror in the mornings, without make-up, without all this glamour,if she helps kids with homework,if she is sometimes plastered to the floor trying to reach the missing piece of a puzzle or a Barbie's head under the furniture,if she has painful periods, if she wakes up in the night when kids go "mum, I'm scared",if she burns dinners and what she does if there's a run in her tights in the middle of the street.
It's just I have these moments very, very, very RARELY. Anyway, I think today we should have "let's be nice to Reese day". Just this once. It's not good for our karma to harbour all these negative feelings towards her. Tomorrow we are going to start hating RW again:)
Smile is for the paparazzi and her photo ops public.
^I think Reese is pretty. I really do. But I think she is very self-centered and pretentious. I can't help thinking so about her.
Sorry 4:52 PM, I don't give a fuck about Reese Witherspoon.
If a "be nice to Reese day" is declared, wake me up when its over.
I have had no indication whatever that she is a warm and intelligent woman. She is driven by some Hallmark idea of what life is about. She's not attractive, in her looks nor demeanor. She identifies with her children because she is a child, herself. I have often felt sorry for her, but do not respect her.
Poor little rich bitch.
Sorry 4:52 PM, I don't give a fuck about Reese Witherspoon.
Aren't we here all kind of "obsessing" over Jake AND Reese?
At the end of the day, R & J enjoy their priviledged life and we are wasting our time with stories (that we read about them and that are probably mostly false anyway) or fantasies about them.
I admit I'm jealous, I wish I was a Hollywood star. I know not everything is perfect then either, but I'd handle it. Ha! ;)
5:04
why do you want to tell people on this blog what to do? it's annoying. I doubt anyone appreciates it.
Well, I agree, 4:52 -
I have nothing against Reese, and when all's said and done, I don't know one single thing about who she or Jake really are, so I try not to be too nasty. The picture being painted of her in the media isn't that great, I must say, but probably most of it is false anyway. There's no way for me to know. I do think she's pretty, and a good actress. I'm not into money, don't care about it as long as I can live the way I want to, what other people have doesn't impress me. It's more the kind of person they are and what they do when good fortune smiles upon them that matters to me.
I am dismayed about the fauxmance, if it is one. If someone isn't ready to come out, that's their business but a charade isn't the best idea for anyone involved IMO. If it's real, we'll know soon enough. That goes for J&A and BabyT as well, and I'd be thrilled if that is true. :)
Aren't we here all kind of "obsessing" over Jake AND Reese?
No. Jake is the only reason I've "noticed" that dull actress.
There are so much more interesting, smarter, querkier and better looking Hollywood starts to obsess over.
5:15 PM,
I just voiced my opinion. You don't have to agree.
5:21 PM, non of those "stars" are worth obsessing over.
I didn't say they are.
I've said there is nothing about Reese to obsess over, she's too bland.
Too bland and too phony.
Please don't delete this or shoot me. But IF, I say IF Jake and Reese are really dating then I think she's a lucky woman. I don't think he's the type to cheat, she neither and it might last. He is still so young and he could have dated almost anyone he wanted after his successful year in 2005, but he chose a woman with two little kids. That speaks for him.
But there's no way to know what's really going on between them. My post above was just a big, fat IF.
Me too, he could be involved with some slutty starlet, but he's chosen a woman with two kids, and I believe he's the faithful kind, and he's certainly beautiful. He's even alluded to that - that he thought that the HW dating scene is "incestuous". By that comment, I believe intimacy and monogamy is important to him. So Reese is very lucky, I think. The only problem I have is if it isn't real. But if it is, good for them. :)
LOL, more Reese crap. In that link Reese, who is papped shopping on what seems like a daily basis, talks about not spoiling her kids for Christmas because she wants to get away from the "gluttony of things". Or maybe it's do as I say, not as I do.
But there's no way to know what's really going on between them.
Yes, there is, a picture tells a thousand words. Nothing is going on between them.
... talks about not spoiling her kids for Christmas because she wants to get away from the "gluttony of things
LOL, the bitch is incredible.
1. This blog has been taken over by Babblers. Go away.
2. The poster who starts every single post with "Well,[...]":
your writing is very monotonous; try another approach, expression, style.
Sorry, you're stuck with the well, [. . .]. Not gonna try any other approach. You're gonna have to punch your TS card every time I post. ;P That and your attitude outta get you a free cup of coffee somewhere.
Welllll . . . calling everyone who doesn't want to bash Reese a Babbler is monotonous too. It's not the "Wells" you don't like, it's that someone dared to say something other than hateful about Reese. Every time someone does, there's a bitchy comment such as yours. Even if someone is pro-J&A. And noone needs to preface their comment with a "please don't shoot me . . ." just because they say something less than hateful about her. It's one thing to hate bearding, or you don't like Reese as an actress, it's another to bash every single thing about a person because you don't like that they are dating Jake. Or the childish namecalling. How old are you, ten? There are all kinds of people who post here, as someone said above, a couple of pathological haters, and everything in between.
... talks about not spoiling her kids for Christmas because she wants to get away from the "gluttony of things
What a hypocrite she is. In a pic of her a few weeks ago, she was out shopping (surprise) and the gossip site pointed out what a great bag she had-the bag cost $1500. She doesn't want her kids to be spoiled but she shops everyday and I've never seen her wear the same bag twice (I'm a bag lover) but each bag that she wears cost a minium of $400 and she's worn some that were in excess of $1800 and that's not even getting around to shoes, clothes or jewlery. She tries to sound like a down to earth mom, but falls flat. She must follow the old adage-Do as I say, not as I do.
"Anyway, I think today we should have "let's be nice to Reese day"."
Are you kidding me? Witherspoon is one of the most manipulative, controlling individuals in Hollywood. Its just a matter of time (ie. tomorrow) before we get another set of staged, mendacious, manipulative fauxmance pix engineered by Reese's pap buddies for mass consumption. Feel sorry for her? A non-hate Reeke day? Yeah, right....
There's no time off for this charade, and there should be no time off for anti-reekers.
It does look pretty bad, I'll agree. :(
"I believe intimacy and monogamy is important to him."
If intimacy is important to Jake, he would not have hooked up with a woman with two children.
What is it about this time of day that the Hallmark crowd shows up?
I think some people come home from work all pissed off about something and have to let off steam.
and the gossip site pointed out what a great bag she had-the bag cost $1500. She doesn't want her kids to be spoiled but she shops everyday and I've never seen her wear the same bag twice (I'm a bag lover) but each bag that she wears cost a minium of $400 and she's worn some that were in excess of $1800
I bet what you don't know is that those bags are loaners from the designers. She gets papped carrying one, people with money to afford the same get interested and look to the various fashion blogs to see who designed it, then they purchase it. Many many celebs partake in this practice. She's not the first and certainly won't be the last.
Ijust came back from THREE theaters here in NYC and ALL of them were sold out for Milk until midnight!!!!!
So I'm going to order a ticket to see the movie tomorrow.
Cuntara strikes again.
She's posted a manipulating letter on "Gyllenhaalics" section of IHJ, today at around 5:30 pm.
"The anecdote above is just to give you an example of Naomi's tactics." -- writes Cantara on a site where the median age of the readers is 15 year-old.
Why does she have to meddle?
Is she asking for help from the 15 y.o. contingent?
If not for the bearding arrangement, noone here would want to talk about reese. We have no interest in her here. Doesn't she have some websites of her own for those that want to talk about her. Oh yeah, I forgot, she is nothing without Jake. A has been.
"A has been."
Her new movie is a huge BO success.
Cantara's a real snake in the grass. A poisonous one.
8:54 PM, you are right. FC has made alot of money. But will it make more money next weekend if word of mouth of the people who saw it say it sucks? And also, while I'm sure The Chin is happy to be making money, it must bother her, an Oscar winning actress, that all of the critics said the movie sucked and that she and Vince both sucked in it also.
Last time I checked, rotten tomatoes had 109 reviews and over 80 of them were bad. Really bad. Most of the rest are mediocre at best. The UK ones just starting to get posted. How can anyone be happy about that.
Because at the end of the day it really isn't about the reviews; it's about the $$$ coming in. Studios like to see $$$ more than they like to see good reviews.
I don't think he's the type to cheat, she neither and it might last. He is still so young and he could have dated almost anyone he wanted after his successful year in 2005, but he chose a woman with two little kids. That speaks for him.
ITA
^ ^ ^
Dream on, my friends!
He chose a woman with two little kids as a beard. Bad choice.
Happy Birthday Clay Aiken!

Olbermann and Candace Gingrich Talk Proposition 8
MSNBC's Keith Olbermann talked to Candace Gingrich, the lesbian sister of conservative stalwart Newt Gingrich, Tuesday night on Countdown With Keith Olbermann.
In the opening segment, Olbermann discussed a recently released poll from Survey USA indicating that 8% of California voters who had voted to ban same-sex marriage had changed their mind on the measure following nationwide protests that ensued. The poll had a +/- 4.3% margin of error for that specific question. The margin by which the gay marriage ban passed was just over 4 points.
"Thus with the caveats that they didn't ask anybody who voted against the ban if they had changed their minds, and it's just a poll, and there's no second vote scheduled, there is still some evidence that another vote might go the other way," Olbermann said.
Asked if the poll surprised her, Candace Gingrich said, "To me, it just exemplifies the progress that's being made on what marriage equality is all about." Gingrich added that the protests had facilitated a continued dialogue and discussion around gay and lesbian issues and family concerns that was "very powerful."
Gingrich attributed any change of heart among California voters to a new recognition that certain people's rights had been taken away. She also noted that the implications of Proposition 8 have had a "chilling" effect on many Californians, and especially minority groups. "This idea that you can put the rights of one particular group up to popular vote, I mean, that's scary," she said.

’Milk’ Draws Raves, Prop. 8 Parallels
Although Milk, the new biopic about openly gay San Francisco city supervisor Harvey Milk from director Gus Van Sant, was not intended as a commentary about Proposition 8--the voter-approved amendment to the California constitution that sets a precedent by repealing an existing right, that of marriage equality, for gay and lesbian families--the timing of the movie’s release, and the success of the anti-gay amendment, makes comparisons and parallels inevitable.
A major part of the plot of Milk is the story of how Harvey Milk helped spearhead the successful campaign, in 1978, to defeat a ballot initiative that would have made the firing of gay teachers--and, for that matter, straight teachers sympathetic to gays--mandatory under state law. That initiative, known as Proposition 6 (or, more popularly, The Briggs Initiative, after the politician who sponsored the measure), was supported by pro-Proposition 6 advocates with the same arguments used this year by pro-Proposition 8 supporters: namely, that the safety of children in schools was at stake.
The campaign in favor of the Briggs Initiative encountered the same arguments against the measure as well: the intrusion of the state into citizens’ private lives, the erosion of church and state given that religious denominations played such a central part in the promotion of the referendum, the enshrining of discrimination into law.
What the campaign against the Briggs Initiative also featured--something that the No on 8 campaign, which unsuccessfully attempted to convince voters to uphold marriage equality this past Election Day, lacked--were the faces of the people who would be impacted by the law. In a crucial scene, Milk (played by Sean Penn) condemns a flyer that argues against the Briggs Initiative without mentioning the word "gay." Acting on his own, Milk issues an impassioned plea for gay Californians in the closet to emerge to the world, and to make themselves known: "They’ll vote for us two to one if they know one of us," he explains.
The movie’s production was started in advance of Proposition 8 finding its way to the ballot, and Focus Features, the studio that produced the film, decided to marketing reasons not to put the film into release prior to the election, for fear of the movie being tied too closely to Proposition 8.
But that association was inevitable, to some degree, and the outrage and hundreds of demonstrations against the measure’s passage--protests that, with extraordinarily rare exceptions, have been peaceful--have only heightened the sense that the movie and the historical anti-gay measure it talks about, and the modern-day success of a ballot initiative that strips rights from selected families, are closely, deeply linked, in more than an ideological way.
The movie is by no means without flaws, but it speaks as powerfully and as passionately as another film that has been referenced in comparison to Milk--another movie from Focus Features, 2005’s Ang Lee-directed Brokeback Mountain, a love story about two Wyoming ranch hands who meet in the 1960s and maintain a secret, intermittent, but profoundly meaningful attachment for two decades.
Brokeback Mountain generated considerable Oscar buzz, and won the statuette in several categories, although it lost for best film. Similarly, Milk--released only days ago--has could be forgiven if it seems to emanate an aura of expectation in terms of Hollywood’s highest honor. Indeed, critics praise Van Sant’s direction, Penn’s performance, and composer Danny Elfman’s score.
Still, it’s Proposition 8 more than Brokeback Mountain or the Oscars that critics touch upon, couching topical references in their glowing reviews. Critic Kennth Turan, writing in the Los Angeles Times, noted in the opening paragraph of his review, "It was partly an accident of history that made Harvey Milk the first openly gay man elected to major public office in this country, so it’s fitting that yet another accident of history has made ’Milk,’ the earnest biopic about the man, more involving than it would otherwise be."
Adds Turan, "It’s impossible to see ’Milk’s’ anti-Prop. 6 demonstrations, to read signs saying things like ’Gay rights now’ and ’Save our human rights,’ without thinking of the very current battle over Proposition 8 and its ban of gay marriage. "This graphic demonstration that the struggles are far from over gives ’Milk’ a harder edge than its otherwise self-congratulatory tone could manage."
In his review for The Christian Science Monitor, Peter Rainer skirts any mention to Proposition 8, save for one indirect reference, writing, "Essentially the film is saying that, at a time when civil rights for gays are still under attack, there is no one of Milk’s charisma on the scene to lead the charge." Similarly, Ann Hornaday’s review in The Washington Post largely skirts Proposition 8, though it cannot escape the contemporary political climate entirely. Hornaday’s review begins, "Once in a while, a movie arrives at such a perfect moment, its message and meaning so finely tuned to the current zeitgeist, that it seems less a cinematic event than a cosmic convergence, willed into being by a once-in-a-lifetime alignment of the stars." Later on, Hornaday notes, "...history isn’t a straight line but an often heartbreaking two-steps-back gavotte. The point, as Harvey Milk taught so many so well, is to stay in the dance."
J. Hoberman was less circumspect in his review for The Village Voice, writing, "Milk is so immediate that it’s impossible to separate the movie’s moment from this one. "The 1978 victory over Prop. 6 merges with the current struggle against California’s Proposition 8, overturning the State Supreme Court’s ruling on same-sex marriage." Continues Hoberman’s review, "A charismatic leader has yet to emerge, but there is... Milk, and its wholehearted devotion to the principle of equal protection under the law."
Notes Hobeman, pranthetically, "Sound bites from the filmed demonstrations are near-identical to those culled from those held two weekends ago" against Proposition 8. The Time Out New York review, penned by Melissa Anderson, notes, "Momentous political events earlier this month have amplified Milk’s significance." Continues Anderson, "I saw the film two days after the election, leading to an even more heightened response after Penn says, ’You gotta give ’em hope.’
"California’s homophobic Proposition 8 also won on Election Night; in one of Milk’s pivotal scenes, Proposition 6, which would have banned gays from teaching in California public schools, is solidly defeated." Queries Anderson, "Would an October release date of Milk have helped to ensure Prop 8’s defeat? "Probably not; the notion itself is magical thinking. But Milk could achieve something far more wide-reaching. As the film powerfully shows, Harvey Milk believed that one of the most radical acts a gay person could commit was to come out.
"But the action didn’t stop there; it was merely a first step toward demanding what everyone should have: justice, equality, fairness."
Writing for Slate, Dana Stevens addresses both a perceived weakness of style and a powerful, if accidental, connection through timing, writing, "In the movie’s heartbreaking last scene, shots of the actors merge with real-life footage of a candlelight vigil on Castro Street the night of Milk’s death. "Ending a biopic with archival footage was a concession to convention on Van Sant’s part, but in the wake of California’s passing of Prop 8 (and the 30th anniversary of Milk’s death), this convergence of past and present feels more appropriate, and sadder, than ever."
Other modern-day parallels also surface in the movie. Wrote The Boston Globe’s Wesley Morris, "Milk was a natural leader. The movie makes it hard not to see in him a little of Barack Obama or vice versa." Adds Morris, "The similarities are chilling at times. They both ran as agents for change, a message that drew people to them, especially the young, and managed to win the support of folks in spite of their own bigotry.
"What you’re able to see is how far the country has come in four decades and how far it hasn’t," Morris continues. "The day of Obama’s victory, voters also supported gay marriage bans in three states. Go figure."

I'm so glad to read that some of the voters who voted for Prop 8 are reconsidering, and are seeing it as a civil rights issue - what a great thing! Education and speaking out peacefully and working with others really does make a difference. :)

Agreed. I can understand Jake needing distance from family. It would really suck if the article, Reese wanting to spend Christmas with ex for the kid's sake, is true.
Jake has a reason to be pissed with his dad, NOT his family.
Why would Jake care about Reese's plans?

Let's recapitulate.
The Brokeback cast:
Jake Gyllenhaal: Parents divorce and keep spilling the dirty details. Private life overshadowing professional life, feeling the need to do commercial stuff such as PoP for $ and more fame.
Heath Ledger: killed himself.
Michelle Williams: Dad in prison, her baby-daddy dead.
Anne Hathaway: Ex boyfriend a fraud and in jail.
Yep!
Reuters has a Q&A with John Travolta to promote his animated film "Bolt." At the end, they ask him about his biggest career regrets.
Tom Hanks listen up!
Q: Which parts do you most regret turning down?
A: "'Chicago' probably (Travolta was offered the role of Billy Flynn). I wasn't all that into the stage show. It was a lot of women who hated men and I like women who like men. (laughs) The stage show was kind of vicious but the movie had a heart. 'Green Mile' I probably should have said yes to and 'An Officer and a Gentleman'. But I gave Richard Gere and Tom Hanks a career! What you turn down can be a gift to someone else. There is enough to go around."

Of all the interviews that Reese has done for 4C she has never mentioned that she wanted to spend X-Mas with the kids and her ex. She said that her family from Nashville will fly in for the day and afterwards she and the kids are going to the ranch, no mention of the ex.
If the article appeared in some foriegn rag than that makes it more BS, especially if Abby name wasn't brought up, i would think she would be equally annoyed.
Thanksgiving: Ryan and the kids, Christmas: Reese and the kids, he may stop by on Christmas Eve i suspect.
Jake's parents are slimey, i always thought that. No wonder Jake has distanced himself from them.
No wonder Jake has distanced himself from them.
Why are you making this up?
Why are his parents slimy? Because their personal divorce affairs happened to end up on the internet?
His parents are slimey because his father allowed Cantara to exploit Jake's online fanbase to promte his crappy poetry for one thing and don't tell me he didn't know. His daliance wit Cantar and now this other woman he met, the filmaker is just another in a long line of women hs screwed around with.
Naomi is a cunt, a self involved medicore screenwriter with delusions.
Jake, Maggie, Stephen and Naomi all have been in therapy off and on for years but apparently it doesn't help.
As Jake got older, he realized that his family was a bit "off", trying to mold himslf into something entirely different than he was brought up should coe as no surprise.
2:05 PM
There is no point in pretending that you KNOW Gyllenhaals. lol
You can love your family but not like them.
The Gyllenhaals always came off as tacky, even with all their $$$ and HW connections. Self entitled, snobs and phony.
lol
The Gyllenhaals always came off as tacky, even with all their $$$ and HW connections.
Bullshit.
The G family's shit is classic family shit. No big deal.
Cantera is pretty slimy, though. there's one in every crowd. there should be a process for taking a restraining order out on people like this.
I have read that Stephen has depressive episodes and he has said himself there is history of alcoholism in his family - making him perhaps vulnerable to such infestation?
Heath, who I think he was closer to than we might think, died.
Qestion is how close is close? ;)
There are ups and downs in life. I think next year might be better for Jake. :)
Slow down people. Who said that the Cantara who posted on IHJ yesterday is the real publisher? Why a mature woman would like to post divorces's dirty landry on a site where the audience is still in their teens?
Doens't make sense.
I don't think it was Cantara posting that... just a smut peddler from "Gossip du Jour" (or the likes) playing Jake's fans.
Hey "Cantara", post here if you want an audience.

Rescuing Stephen G
I know that I promised Part Two of my long essay Bildung in Hollywood, tentatively entitled “The Gyllenhaal Code”, would be in Cantaraville’s winter issue next month—now I’m not so certain. There’s just too much material finally coming out into the open... On va voir. I’ll try to write as fast and as well as I can.
But how’s that for timing, this news coming down on Thanksgiving Week during the worst personal credit crisis since the Depression? But the almost supernaturally fateful timing is what makes it such a typical Gyllenhaal story.
And oh yes. How dare Naomi use Stephen’s beautiful book—a book I’m so proud to have published—against him in the divorce proceedings. How dare she.
More to the point: How dare she use a private email against him, thus allowing yet another bewildering Gyllenhaal pronouncement to meme its way through the international media?
another bewildering Gyllenhaal pronouncement
She loves the publicity, then.
Is the e-mail she talks about hers? No.
That was a typical Cantera post The style is recognizable Why would she do that? Cause she's a sick-o, that's why.
I wonder if she thinks that Stephen will be forever grateful to her. But maybe he is...
She loves the publicity, then.
Stephen is Cantara's only and the best chance to get publicity.
I wonder if she thinks that Stephen will be forever grateful to her.
Grateful for what?
For rescuing him.
I can't make up my mind who is crazier - Cantara or Stephen.
Let's recapitulate.
The Brokeback cast:
Jake Gyllenhaal: Parents divorce and keep spilling the dirty details. Private life overshadowing professional life, feeling the need to do commercial stuff such as PoP for $ and more fame.
Heath Ledger: killed himself.

Yep!
Oh.My.God.
Is it a curse or what?;)
Is it a curse or what?;)
Who knows?
He chose to do a very commercial movie that could bring him a lot of money and fame. It's his decision. If some fans continue to follow him or not is not his problem.
The problem is that not just SOME fans have chosen not to follow him any more. Most of them have left the fandom.
No more festival awards for you, Jake, no Golden Palms, Bears, Lions or any other animals. No more reviews with 5 stars. No more crowds at festivals. No more Cannes, Berlin, Venice, Toronto. No more European movie-goers lining up for your films(me included).No more press-conferences with journalists who are interested in your craft, not who you're screwing. No more thought-provoking discussions. No more Oscar-winning directors calling you.
No more of any of this if you follow your girlfriend's path and forget that movie-making is considered to be a part of art and it's not only about making loads at the box-office.
Reese is going to be sorry too for choosing the career of "the highest paid actress" in Hollywood and doing mostly comedies no one remembers after two months.
After all, it's about being true to yourself. If you're not, you'll crack up eventually.
I read Brothers will be nominated for the Golden Palm in Cannes next year.
Brothers release date for France is March 4, 2009. I think it means no Cannes film festival for Brothers.
Why? I don't understand.
I think movies in the competition must have French premiere at the Cannes festival, but I'm not sure about it.
Zodiac premiered in the USA way before it premiered in Cannes.
Hugh Jackman lists the three biggest rumors about him: "Gay, gay and gay..."
MTV News caught up with Jackman just hours after he was anointed the "Sexiest Man Alive" by People magazine and took the opportunity to grill him about that weighty responsibility and whether he's been bothered by rumors about his sexuality. Here's an excerpt and video:
MTV: How do you plan on enjoying your reign as the Sexiest Man Alive?
Hugh Jackman: I'm not resting, mate. I'm not a one-term winner here. I want two terms, three, four, something like that. Brad [Pitt]'s had two [but] never back to back. That's my goal.
MTV: You were pretty forthright with People magazine when they asked you about the three biggest rumors about you.
Jackman: Gay, gay and gay.
MTV: You said in that article that the rumors while you were playing Peter Allen in "The Boy From Oz" [on Broadway] bothered your wife. Did they ever bother you?
Jackman: Come on. No, it's ridiculous. I just think the whole idea of judging someone based on their sexuality is ridiculous. In Australia, we're much easier on all those fronts. I was playing a gay guy. I actually took it as a compliment. I probably shouldn't be saying this, but I remember when I was about 19, me and my mate used to go to these dance parties which were 80 percent gay guys, 18 percent girls who were sick of heterosexual guys hitting on them, and then vultures like me and my mate. We would go there until 2 in the morning, when the girls were really drunk and wishing they weren't with 80 percent gay guys.
MTV: So you're basically the worst kind of straight guy?
Jackman: The worst! The leech! The vulture!

Of course, a lot of straight guys went to gay bars during the '80s. LOL

Reese Witherspoon has denied claims that she is about to move to London
The Four Christmases star was said to be in the capital with boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal last month to buy a house. However, she dismissed the speculation, saying. "It's always being reported that I am moving somewhere. I came to London in the summer, and someone said I was looking for house. It seems I am moving every six months!"
The actress added that she does not let tabloid stories about her life affect her because they are rarely accurate.
"I try not to read any of what people write about me because so much of it is not true," she said.

Always I: I am moving somewhere, I came to London, I was looking for house, I am moving every six months.
But wasnt the house purchase recorded, wasnt the house later up for rental?
Oh Crikey, she was gonna buy a house in San Fran, in London, and recently I read something about a place in NYC. If she doesn't like to be gossiped about, why is she in US Reekely weekly? Enough already! ;(
"No more festival awards for you, Jake, no Golden Palms, Bears, Lions or any other animals. No more reviews with 5 stars. No more crowds at festivals. No more Cannes, Berlin, Venice, Toronto. No more European movie-goers lining up for your films(me included).No more press-conferences with journalists who are interested in your craft, not who you're screwing. No more thought-provoking discussions. No more Oscar-winning directors calling you.
Well, in all fairness the boy has barely cracked 30. He's got time to return to his good role playin' roots. Prince of Persia doesn't have to keep him in sell out lane.
John Travolta went away for a spell...made those popcorn Baby Talk movies. Now look at him.
Leo DiCaprio rebounded from lightweight flops like The Beach. Now, look at him. He's practically Scorsese's muse. Movie after movie is a dime piece...
Yes, but even though Leo DiCaprio and George Clooney have had gay/bearding rumors surrounding them, look at how differently from Jake they handle them. Leo and George do they own thing, aren't afraid to be photographed or even on on vacation with a bunch of male friends and always have some kind of tie to beautiful women. Jake on the other hand, takes up with a ditched woman a few weeks after she files for divorce who has 2 kids and is bitchy, uptight and phony. Jake distances himself from everybody he's every been photographed with and for over 1yr is only photographed with her or her kids. People still think Jake is gay and the relationship is fake while Leo and George only have occasional comments on their sexuality. Jake should have listend to Leo and George instead of Reese and their mutual PR teams.
I have the same impression, he wants to distance himself from the gay rumors, I think partly he kept silent about Heath is that he was scared about such kind of rumors.
I agree that if he is bearding, he should have picked a model or someone less high profile.
I'm one who doesn't have a clue what's going on with Reese, but hell we only see pics of him with her and her kids nowadays. It's annoying.
A release date for Brothers should be showing up soon. It's almost 2009 already. Jake will have to do some promo for that so we'll have a chance for some one on one with him. I'm starting to think Disney does not trust him on his own. Too apt to let truth slip out.
