Check out babblers today. There is a link in one of the comments to Reese all smiles with a camera on and then herself when the camera goes off. She can fake it like a champ, just like in these latest pictures. Looks like they sat in the front wiindow so they would be seen. I must admit, PR coached them well on this one. I guess we will see these pics next in OK.

I recall seeing Jake do "faces" for an interviewer, he illustrated how he slid into "sexy" - it was fascinating.

Jake is straight, but I still think he'll always be supportive of gay rights. He's been very busy this year, he's made three films. Give him more time.

^I think his words at the BAFTA and MTV Movie awards showed a lot of support for gay rights. But he paid a price and decided to move on and go more mainstream. That's what it appears like to me, anyway.

Brad Pitt is mainstream. Brad supports gay rights.

Anonymous said...

Being a big star and being supportive of gay rights are not mutually exclusive.

Anonymous said...

That's a good point. The difference is everyone knows Brad Pitt is straight, so he isn't worried that supporting gay rights will create questions about his sexuality. Jake is not in that kind of stable place in regard to either his sexuality or public image.

Are you saying that Jake still doesn't know he's gay? lol

I disagree strongly. BBMt has made an enormous impact worldwide. Opened the door for "Milk" - that would have scared the bejesus out of people with BBMt. Prop 8 has brought the need for more activism out into the open, and also brought out the activists.

Im really sorry and disappointed Jake was not among them, apparently feeling he had to look after his own hide. Maybe he did if he wanted PoP.

But he's not a free agent anymore, and that's gotta affect his health and happiness.

Anonymous said...

No, I'm saying he's insecure, ambitious and doesn't want to encourage any speculation about his sexuality.

He's looking good and content in the new pictures with Reese. I'm not sure what to think. Yesterday he looked pale and I worried about him and now I agree with the one poster who said he probably pretended to be annoyed. He and Reese seem so fake whether they are for real or not.

The idea of a private birthday for her gay pal at her house for just family (including Jake's biological family assuming that they're is still talking to him) and friends never occurs to Gen. Witherspoon. No, she has to have a party in a restaurant (no intimacy expected because we're with guests and the rug rats are here), and sit in front so that her favorite paps can see everything. And then she and her gay chum complain about pap intrusions.

Like I said before, time is money in Hollywood. If you aren't seen, you don't exist. Privacy is the one thing that Will and Grace don't seem to want. Now, I wonder why?

So, where are we on the checklist? The party satisfied the coffee/breakfast item, pandering to Ava satisfied the rug rats item, still no comment on secured future roles (are there any?), completed movies (banish any mentioned of the embarassing Nailed), politics, family, still not seen with groups of men for - you know - sports and other male-bonding rituals. Yes, they are walking down that checklist...

"Jeez, bitter much 3:14? "

I'm not the bitter one, Ms. babbler. Reeke is walking down that checklist like it's no tomorrow. I was right, just like everyone else here who sees through this staged, fake, ever so predictable nonsense. In fact, it's so predictable that it's probably staged. Lying, staged photo-ops and feigned indignance are what Reeke want. Truth and privacy are what they don't want.

"And many about others famous couples , so if I get you argument all couples are fake cause they are pap whores?"

Reeke is not a real couple. It's a fauxmance. What makes it a fauxmance is not their willingness to manipulate the press; it's their unwillingness to do anything even remotely intimate in the bedroom! Hell, they can't even keep up the charade in their living arrangements any more. All of these rumors about living together are probably as much of a lie as the rumors about buying property together in Cabo or London. Now, does anyone think that Scarlett and Ryan live apart? Or that either of them is gay? No. Bearding couples in Hollywood lie just as well as real ones do, but if Scarlett and Ryan are lying, it's not about what happens in bed.

Anonymous said...

Oh yeah? Well exactly what do you thinking bearding is all about? Faking their preferences for sports teams or politics? It's all about faked sexual intimacy, and straight couples in Hollywood don't do that. They might lie about who they're sleeping with, or if they're sleeping with any particular person at the moment, but they don't lie about wanting to sleep with a member of opposite sex.

You can't fake sexual intimacy forever, and from all indications, Reeke has stopped trying to look truly authentic, natural and appropriately private. Now, it's just a staged show for the cameras. behind the scenes, I don't think that *anything* is going on.

Faked sexual intimacy is a special task reserved for bearding, and the new Will and Grace are walking down that checklist like pros.

It helps, of course, that Will's career is semi-stalled, his family is disintegrating and Grace's ex-husband is gallavanting all over the country with his barely post-pubescent girlfriend. Nothing like a little motivation to fake sexual intimacy.

Looking through the birthdy dinner photos, I believe Jake and Reese are at least friends. They seem to like each other.

Honestly, she could be his sister in those shots. No passion whatsoever, no chemistry--there is a comfort level there you find with a close friend but nothing there indicating a genuine passion that lovers have. She looks bored and he looks like he'd rather sleep for 20 years (he must have been seriously jet-lagged). He also doesn't look well. The man should go to a spa for a month to relax. Don't do what Heath did and work yourself to death--literally.

I have a creepy feeling that very few people were there. Given how small the gathering probably was, it made sense for them to be in the window. If they were further in, the passing paps would start noticing that something was wrong. These two big stars and such a small party?

Not only did the party show that almost nothing of any great significance is really going on between them in private, but it also appeared to be just an excuse for a staged photo-op to distract us from Ryan and Abby rather than a genuine celebration of Jake's life.

Oh well, I guess that it's cheaper than going to Paris, Cabo or Venice again.

Anonymous said...

4;07 talks much common sense. Personally I feel he's gay. After so much time apart, why would'nt they just spend a nice quiet romantic birthday dinner at home. Why would this very "private couple " go voluntarily into the "lion's den", to an open environment where they know they may encounter paps? Then try to hide?

This whole thing seems very staged and very predictable with each passing pic op. It would be slightly beleivable if we had words to go with all the pictures and ambiguity. Even if we don't know if this thing is real or not, we can feel something's not quite right, we can see that it's not so much what we can see in a picture( a small snapshot in time), but's it's what we don't see or hear, the essentials everyone who's ever been in love knows that make a beievale love story. That's what does'nt make sense to some of us. If we are to believe this, give us the whole story, not just half of it in tabloid pictures.

Reese had numerous opportunties lately to "talk up" this great love and support for her man during this latest 4 Christmases promo tour and in other previous recent interviews she's done. It's seems by looking at the show they're putting on,it would be the natural thing to do. Talk about it. What happened? She hidbehind the HW privacy act, that's what happened. Where are the declarations of love?Instead "supportive" is all she can muster. That's nice, Where's the real excitment over dating one of the most sought after , sexiest bachelors in HW? And where's his family and friends? absent. or hers for that matter. absent. She's very professionally visible, he's went from crazy fabulous to so Mr. Rodgers, in the closet with his sweater! he's said barely a word in 2 years. His silence about her or any other subject is deafining. He looks worn to a frazzle, tired and sad. Like he's smiling through the pain.

As for the marriage rumors, lol, she's 32 yrs old , been there, done that gig, married,with 2 children? Jake has no idea what that entails, for an "older" actress to balance a career with that and remain youthful and in demand in HW. Jake is either very naive or he enjoys being treated like a little puppy dog.
I just think she loves the idea that the rags are giving the perception that young,desirable J. Gyllenhaal is desperatly pursuing her, and every so often,she has to "fend off' his numerous marrige proposals. lol. she remains in control of the game, he plays along. No marrige.

There's still huge pieces of this puzzle that are clearly missing. Not quite buying it at all. It's tiresome bullshit imo, they maybe friends trying to pull this off,, but I'm still waiting for him to show that he loves her in some meaningful way. Sorry, aint seen it yet. Think I'll be waiting a looooong time. JMHO.

I agree with everything you have said in this part except for the no marriage part. I think she might marry him if she feels her career is failing in some respect. The wedding would be talked about for ages, this will give them a lot of publicity.

Reese has another 7 years in HW. They throw you to the garbage bin after you're 40. She knows she will be invited to do TV work after that, at most.

So of course she wants marriage:
How do they say? It's easier to die in a plane crash than getting married after 40.

Anonymous said...

Dear Reese, as a type A personality with high standards you cannot be happy about the unmotivated and obvious desinterested attitude of your contract partner. You should really aim higher. You cannot be proud to deliver a fine performance while your partner is busy presenting his indifference, is yawning, busy checking his hair, making contact with the paps to make it clear that this is a show and is relieved when you finally head out.
Cancel the contract Reese. Say he is unable to adapt to your lifestyle, is too immature or just not up to your standards. Next time you choose a partner look for someone who has as much interest as you in pretending to be in a relationship or at least is a better actor than bubble boy.
Kisses!

It would suprise me if they did get married any time soon.. They'd be fools to do it. I was looking through some of the old behind the scenes footage of Jake in TDAT, he cannot fake it no matter how many "romantic dinners" they have. and she has to know all about it. For now, to me it's looks like a lot of phony baloney planned and scripted. Good friends at best imo. Only time will tell.

They are not together, so they posted the pics of Reese and her son instead of him by himself because there is less interest for flynet. If they left together that would have been different. The earlier pics of Jake are not from Flynet.

Jake grew up in Hollywood, knows the business. He and Reese use photo ops to sell themselves, to sell an image. Jake knows what he's doing for his career, both know.
He was probably just tired and now he looks well rested. He'll be fine.
The comparisons with Heath are ridiculous if you ask me.
Heath was extremely paranoid about his privacy. He just wasn't ready to play the Hollywood game. He was very sensitive and had many demons (which Jake probably doesn't have, thank God).
Jake himself said he's very worried about his health and runs to the doctor for every little thing. I guess I want to say, Jake knows how to take care of himself, his friend Heath unfortunately didn't.
So, really, no need to compare them.

^^What happens to the pics that are not published? How can you prevent them from being published? If you can control what gets published, why are sometimes pictures made public that compromise the celeb? Why haven't the celebs people prevent them from being pubished in the firt place?

Paparazzi agency owns pictures and can offer/sell them to celebrity PR people.

Jake had a good relationship with the paps at one time. Before Reese that is. Glad flynet posted that dinner video. It really shows the no chemistry, no love between the two of them. Like someone already said, its not what you see but what you dont see that tells the tale.

One example, the then husband of princess Stephanie of Monaco was caught cheating by the paparazzi. The photos got published, resulting in divorce. So, why didn't he buy the pictures from the paparazzi agency to avoid trouble with his wife?

Because PR and rags business isn't simple and straightforward.
I'm not claiming to know the rules but I do know that rags need celebrities and celebrities need rags.

Isn't this blackmail? Pap agency calls PR people and basically says, either you buy the pics or we'll sell them to the rags! This should be illegal IMO.
I think sometimes celebrities don't even know they are filmed or photographed. I know they chose being famous, but the downside of doing a job you love that makes you rich and famous, is loss of privacy. No wonder some stars a paranoid or let their sex partners sign contracts to keep their mouths shut.

Old DL gossip:

Why would any agency sit on these supposed pics? Remember when the Enquirer published the pics of Chad Allen? I find it hard to believe that these photos, especially if they are scandalous, would not be published. I could be wrong, but why would they protect WM?

Okay, crash course...

Take Chad Allen out of the equation for starters because he was a TV actor and not a popular, marketable filmstar or TV buff bod.

So, were talking about someone who IS marketable to the masses, say Wentworth Miller. Now then, you're a media agency like TMZ and some pap comes up to you and offers you some pics that show male actor getting visibly jiggy with actor B in a private residential place somewhere.

You buy these pictures off the pap but you don't publish them. Why? Because, if you publish them and therefore OUT the popular closeted star, YOU become the one that is blacklisted within the industry and acting agencies (big powerhouses like CAA and William Morris) cut you out of the equation when it comes to favors, scoops, exclusives, etc. They make sure that you get a reputation as a bad business that outs fellow industry people and they play it so that the public feels so sorry for said actor it turns against you..."WHY did you out him? You're disgusting! There was no need to out him!" etc etc. Then nobody buys your product or reads your site and bit by bit you go out of business, getting a bad reputation around town as an outlet that outs its own and is considered untrustworthy and sleazy. The industry knows the fraus will just turn round and scream "we didn't need to know he was gay!"

And Hollywood is self-generating. Media agencies NEED actors and their agents as much as vice versa. They all try and keep one another sweet while they are popular and on the rise. Everything hinges on cohesion. Nobody wants to be the one with the reputation for outing someone because it can badly backfire and you can end up out of a job or with people not trusting you, as explained. There is a LOT of trust in Hollywood and it's a fine line between breaking that trust and overstepping the mark for money, etc.

Clay Aiken Reflects on a Year of Coming Out, Being a New Dad

It's been a year of major developments for Clay Aiken.

In late September the American Idol favorite acknowledged in a PEOPLE cover story that he's gay – an announcement that followed the Aug. 8 birth of his first child, Parker, with his best friend, music producer Jaymes Foster, 50.

While Aiken's coming out generated significant interest on Internet blogs, it's the singer's status as a new dad that he says makes 2008 the most memorable. "At the end of the day, Parker is the most important thing of the year, and of my life, without question," Aiken, 30, tells PEOPLE. "Having a son and that type of responsibility is obviously going to be something that I remember forever."

Still, Aiken, is mindful of the widespread support he received after coming out. "We've been very impressed and my heart has been thoroughly warmed to find people very supportive," he says.

Inspirational – and Busy
And he's also aware he may have inspired other gay men to come out. "I'm very humbled by that. I really don't know what to say about that. I think that hopefully less than inspiring people I will have an opportunity to open people's eyes to different viewpoints and different possibilities in their life."

As for his life as a new parent, Aiken will return to full-time fatherhood – joining Foster, 50, in his native North Carolina – after Jan. 4, when he finishes his run on Broadway as Sir Robin in Monty Python's Spamalot. "I want to spend time with Parker. He's still uber-dependent," Aiken says, laughing. "I'm ready for him to start talking. I'm ready for a little action!"

But Claymates need not worry: Aiken will return to his singing roots: "We'll take a little bit of time, we're not quitting or anything, we're just gonna take it slow for a month or so and recollect once I get back," he says. "I may never have any free time once Parker starts walking and talking!"

You cannot be proud to deliver a fine performance while your partner is busy presenting his indifference, is yawning, busy checking his hair, making contact with the paps to make it clear that this is a show and is relieved when you finally head out.

You know, I'm NOT a Reese fan at all, meaning I don't like her personality or her image (although I do think she's a good actress--I liked her in "Walk the Line" very much) but based on the recent round of pics at the restaurant this is the first time in her "pairing" with Jake that I've wondered WHY she's in this. She probably could do much better (maybe get an older, very successful man) than this sexually confused, screwed up man-child.

Because Reese can count on Jake being part of the charade as long as that suits her.

You clearly did not see the same video I did. They both attimes seemed bored but into it as well, he even stroked her hair.

Contact with the paps? All I saw was him pointing and her looking and then Jake calls over a staff member to complain i bet then they leave. They are laughing at the staff cursing at the paps in Italian and throwing eggs at them.

It may be an act but no way in hell did he make contact with the paps to let them know it was an act and he was happy it was over, you seem to have cherry picked parts of the video.

Reality is they went their to be seen, pretended to be upset, left and laughed like little kids because the paps got egged and cursed at.

Not saying they are a couple, but I know many couples who have been dating for years and do not look lovey dovy when they go out to eat. (And I'm personally also not a fan of PDA.) Jake also looked very tired throughout the dinner. He probably still had jet leg.

Tell me, who here, despite being in a relationship for a longer period of time, still looks at their partner with googly eyes or can't keep their hands off each other when going out to eat?

Anonymous said...

6:40, they haven't been together for YEARS. They're not a longtime married couple. They've been together almost two years (with breaks during that period). This is NOT a case of an old married couple being together for 20 years. If that's how they are now after not being together that long, it doesn't bode well. No wonder Jake is banging twinks when Reese isn't looking.

Why would Jake care about Reese? Reese is his PR business partner.

Oh god, so is the common consensus that there really was no birthday party after all? Either Liz Smith is an idiot or Reeke are pathetic. I'm not sure which one is worse, but I can't believe that this story was not fed to Smith by Reese's people.

This was such a pathetic attempt to make Jake look more popular than he really is. They stage everything they can, but when the reality of genuine love from family and friends for Jake is required, the charade falls apart. I guess that they just won't beard with him.

Oh well, there's always shopping...

Jake, sounds like your dad is saying he's sad to see that you sold your soul to be a big Hollywood star. Was your soul eaten by Reese when you signed the bearding contract or by your PR team who then turned it over to the devil (who will one day ask for his due)?

Anonymous said...

Doesn't sound like that at all. Sounds like Jake has very little contact, rightly so, with his pretentious ass of a father.

This sounds like Faust. I would love to play that role.

Anonymous said...

Faust is a controversal character. You know Reese won't give you permission to do that-you are not allowed to be with or talk about anything that may be remotely political or controversal. Maybe you could be in something like the movie version of Home Improvement. Reese would probably say yes to that.

In fairness, they supposedly only have just passed their first anniversary, and they don't see each other all the time, he's been away for quite awhile. They have been together for almost two years maybe at the most? That phase of a relationship can go on for awhile hopefully, and is prolonnnnnnged when you don't see each other regularly. ;)

Ryan Phillippe and Abbie Cornish: Back to LA

Prepping themselves for the ultra-long plane ride back to Los Angeles, Ryan Phillippe and Abbie Cornish were spotted meandering through Sydney International Airport earlier today (December 22). The “Cruel Intentions” stud and his “Stop-Loss” gal looked pretty unenthusiastic to see the paparazzi, doing their best to avoid the prying shutterbugs as they made their way through the terminal.

The trip back to Los Angeles is an unexpected one, as Ryan and Abbie were reportedly supposed to be spending the holidays with the Cornish family in Australia.
