A Gentle Man

Heath Andrew Ledger

A brief candle; both ends burning
An endless mile; a bus wheel turning
A friend to share the lonesome times
A handshake and a sip of wine
So say it loud and let it ring
We are all a part of everything
The future, present and the past
Fly on proud bird
You're free at last.

- Charlie Daniels

Funny how it's only the people who don't think Jake is completely gay and/or with Austin who meet your definition of "skeptics", as opposed to those of us who are skeptical about reeke, Jake being bisexual, 24/7 papping, the possibility that Jake has character flaws.....

Wrong again.. Are you aware of Reading Comprehension?

We or most of us believe most or all or your points also. Arguments I have posted and read who are like mine just don't have a need for Jake to be Gay. Don't have a need for Reeke to be fake. Don't have a need for all of Reeke pictures to be photo ops as if it all said above has to happen for me to like or appreciate Jake any further. And, don't have a need for Jake to be (still with Austin) and I think most of us do think / feel that Jake and Austin were an item or fuckbuddies. I like Jake as a star and thought he may be coming out also. Didn't know how it would effect his career though. He has not. It's his decision. And I believe him to be bi, so there is a chance that he and Reese are real to me. And, I'm not upset. So before you convenietly call out the over used words "Troll or Babblers" how about thinking sometimes.

I'm not conservative ;). This bulge (if it is a bulge) doesn't have to be caused by sexual arousal. Maybe it would have happened even w/o Heath in the picture. Maybe he was just excited they got all the photographer's attention w/o him calling them (for a change). Oh the excitement...which resulted in...you know.

What do people make of this latest theory regarding Reeke. Kind of plausible except the 'perfect family' pics seem to have disappeared (personally I think Ryan threatened Reese he's expose the lot of them if she continued to exploit their children).

"those who say they don't get why RW would beard for JG (aka TT) are not thinking outside the box. The truth is RW is only using JG simply to get at her ex RP. it has nothing to do with pr or wanting to be seen as a hot women capable of landing a hot younger guy. RW could have easily played the victim role and then strong independent woman. But she has no need to, as an actress and celeb she is at the top of the tree. So she is using JG as a means to get at RP. She knows RP is a devoted father, but more importantly (and this this where she is clever) she knows the public know him as a devoted father and see him in that capacity mostly. So she brings in JG, and plays happy family, JG who is naturally a big goof plays like a fairytale step dad, devoting so much time and love to his new girl's kids. RW gets lots of free good pr. but she fucks with RP, he has to sit back and watch JG take over his position in the press, it bugs him privately but also (and this is the good part) RP is sidelined as a father in press land. it's all JG, while RP, is papped with his new girl, so he is the adulterer, no longer the dedicated daddy,but instead pictured with the woman that he walked out on his family for while JG has come to the rescue and plays the dad. So RW gets it all good, in the press and privately she gets at RP. It really annoys RP it see the press laud and happily accept JG as RP's kids new father figure and that is why RW beards for JG."

Clay Aiken & Reed Kelly Pose For Cute Photobooth Pictures

Early last month, we learned that Clay Aiken started up a romantic relationship with fellow Broadway thespian Reed Kelly … his first boyfriend since coming out of the closet on the cover of People magazine last September. Once we found out who Clay was dating, we also were treated with a few photos that gave hints as to what attracted Clay to Reed in the first place (bendy = good). Today we get to check out a batch of really cute photobooth pictures of the couple in all sorts of adorable poses which were taken at the closing night party for Spamalot (the Broadway musical that brought the lovebirds together) in NYC:

Firstly, I’m glad to see that the boys are still happily together. These pics are really very cute … even tho they don’t really look that well-matched to me. The cardigan and bow tie combo would look hawt on most guys … on Clay, well, it’s not hot. The kissy photos are just sickeningly adorable. But, I think the most telling photo about the relationship between these two is the last photo … Clay is on top. Yeah, I don’t think we really need to discuss that fact any further, wouldn’t you agree? In any event, I do like this set of photos … it’s really great to see Clay looking so happy. He finally looks truly happy — and I am happy for him.

Clay & Reed

What do people make of this latest theory regarding Reeke.

I think that's part of the picture, but I believe Reese is much more interested in her public image and good old PR: from using "are they dating or not?" games to promote Rendition, to "Back on top" tabloid cover to promote "feel good" 4C.

Shout out to all my "trolls" and "babblers." It's the J/A koolaid drinkers who can't think outside the box. They really need that fairytale.

And god forbid you bring up Jake's crush on Heath. They really freak out over that. They just can't stomach the idea that any other male could come between Jake and the Giraffe (all credit to Virtual Heath from WFT 1).

I agree with Reese agreeing to beard is that her biggest concern in life is her PR image. Also she would have wanted to avoid Jen Aniston symdrome. To be viewed as the poor dumped ex with 2 kids with can't find a good man again. The Reeke rumors started like 3 weeks after she filed for divorce. It's been said that her marriage was over way, way before and Ryan was already moved out. She probably waited to file papers when she had the beardinh contract signed and cash in hand.

7:39. Wrong analogy. There is no way to know if Anne knew of her boyfriend's activities.

However, if you believe that Jake is gay, Austin is his current boyfriend and is also bearding with Reese, then that would obviously make Austin a party in this arrangement. By silently sanctioning this relationship, Austin is enabling the bearding.

So, the Giraffe is a weak wuss who is willing to hide under the cover of his boyfriend's public relationship.

The men, on average, responded genitally in what Chivers terms “category specific” ways. Males who identified themselves as straight swelled while gazing at heterosexual or lesbian sex and while watching the masturbating and exercising women. They were mostly unmoved when the screen displayed only men. Gay males were aroused in the opposite categorical pattern. Any expectation that the animal sex would speak to something primitive within the men seemed to be mistaken; neither straights nor gays were stirred by the bonobos. And for the male participants, the subjective ratings on the keypad matched the readings of the plethysmograph. The men’s minds and genitals were in agreement.

All was different with the women. No matter what their self-proclaimed sexual orientation, they showed, on the whole, strong and swift genital arousal when the screen offered men with men, women with women and women with men. They responded objectively much more to the exercising woman than to the strolling man, and their blood flow rose quickly — and markedly, though to a lesser degree than during all the human scenes except the footage of the ambling, strapping man — as they watched the apes. And with the women, especially the straight women, mind and genitals seemed scarcely to belong to the same person. The readings from the plethysmograph and the keypad weren’t in much accord. During shots of lesbian coupling, heterosexual women reported less excitement than their vaginas indicated; watching gay men, they reported a great deal less; and viewing heterosexual intercourse, they reported much more. Among the lesbian volunteers, the two readings converged when women appeared on the screen. But when the films featured only men, the lesbians reported less engagement than the plethysmograph recorded. Whether straight or gay, the women claimed almost no arousal whatsoever while staring at the bonobos.

I mentioned this study a while back; it's one of the reasons, besides experience, that I think bisexual men are a pretty rare breed, unlike bisexual women.

Anonymous said...

One of these studies, not sure if it's this one, was criticized because the methodologies were flawed, the sample very small, and the researcher known for past homophobia inspired studies. So I have questioned these finding since.

Another issue is the way sexuality is depicted in society since you can't just dismiss years and years of socialization. For example women are generally sexualized far more than men and women are socialized to see women as sexual objects as much as men. So there is the entire social construction that is not being looked at. Also, the types of images used may be of great importance. I find men in gay male erotica much more sensual than the usual depiction of straight men's sexuality.

I also remember reading once that although bisexuality was assumed more common in women it is actually more common for men to have had both heterosexual and same-sex experiences than men, so they have to be seeking out these experiences for some reason.

Anyway, even if it were more common for women to be bisexual (and dependant on how you define bisexual) that really only has to do with numbers and individuals are not numbers and are unique to themselves. So this study or any other doesn't change my impression that Jake is bisexual. I trust my gut and my "bidar" too much.

Anonymous said...

I think Jake is bisexual, but that doesn't make me believe he's with Reese. Why? Because I can't see Reese being open to dating a bisexual guy. She just doesn't seem the type.

Kevin Spacey to Take On Toothy Tile?

We remember the days when Oscar-nom morning would come and Kevin Spacey would more than likely be a part of it. Now? We caught up with the former two-time Oscar winner slinking around Sundance, promoting his new indie flick, Shrink, instead of celebrating a nom with friends, fam and fellas.

Hey, Kev, there coulda been a nice role for ya somewhere in Milk, we’re sure, if only you went after that terribly chic and sorta male-dominated subject material. But, like, we really did ask this question. For real: What do you think about all these gay-friendly flicks finally getting noticed? Answer might surprise more than a few:

“I think it’s great!” Spacey said, perky and perfectly adept at perhaps uncomfortable queries. “I think people should be courageous and brave enough to do subject matter that they find politically incorrect, dangerous or important to do.”

So you’d be down doing a Milk-like pic? “Oh yeah! Send me the dangerous stuff!”

There ya go, H'wood, ya heard it straight from Spacey’s mouth—can someone send him the script to Toothy Tile: The Movie? ('Cause we so know the real Toothy would pass on it.)

January 23, 2009 3:03 PM



The bottom line is none of us will ever really know what goes on with these celebs and how boring or fantastical their lives actually are.

Fwiw, I also think Jake was and maybe still is involved with Austin N. but I am not one of these people who thinks it was some great romance without infidelities, problems and fights. I also think Jake has tried drugs and perhaps the sex stories of him and girls is/are true, because he seems like someone who desperately needs to seek approval on many levels, specially for himself. I think his desperation in getting the role in Jarhead same time as Brokeback was to prove to himself he could play straight and gay, and be all things to all people.

And yep, I think there were fireworks with Heath. I think it was the realuntold story of that movie set and Heath did reciprocate. But prove it? Wouldn't waste my time. It's water under the bridge.

I still think Jake is a person with a big heart and a lot to give but that his true self lies down other paths, apart from films. He'd make a better humanitarian IMO.

Not only have there been not photos of Jake and Austin anywhere near each other, but there have been no sighting (whether on gossip blogs or personal ones). This would be the reason some of us don't think Jake and Austin are together. Come this March, it will be two years.

Now, I know some will argue that Jake has just gotten really good at hiding his private life. However, if "everyone" in Hollywood knows Jake is gay, I would presume this would extend to the paparrazzi as well. No one's pr can pay all of them off. Could you imagine the kind of payday you could get with pictures exposing a gay celebrity, either in the US or abroad? I can't imagine anyone passing that up.

In any case, I think Jake is bi. I think his relationship with Kirsten was real. I think he may have had a relationship with Austin, but not anymore. I think he was in love with Heath. I don't know what to make of his relationship with Reese. I think he make be scoring guys on the side.

I just hope Jake finds someone who is better suited to him, at his level, and can inspire him to higher levels. Neither Reese, nor Austin can do this.

I really wish Heath were alive; I think he could have been the beacon that Jake needs.

11:08, uh, well yes, pictures and sightings. What are you basing your fanfic on?

Do you believe that Jake didn't see Stephen, Maggie, Peter and Ramona since Christmas 2007 ?

I would presume that Jake saw his sister at the Golden Globes. As far as the rest of his family goes, does anyone know when the last time was that he saw them?

And you are not going to see pictures of Jake & Austin together. If they were to appear together out on the town, it would undo everything that Reeke has been trying to squash for the past 1 1/2 years. Their handlers would have a hissy fit that would be heard from coast to coast.

It is not a coincidence that Jake wasn't papped or seen in the company of other guys until that memorable set of Dec 26 pics with RDJ. I think there was just finally so much constant chatter on here that Jake & Reese were only seen in each other's company and why was that? And just like other fix-its that PR has done on Reeke photo ops, we had a day of "See? Jake & Reese do have other friends who they spend time with". Do scoffers not even find that just the slightest bit hard to deny that we went about a year of Jake not seen in the company of another guy? How do you ignore that? Why would that be?

It seems to me that the pics with RDJ & his wife(wife or girlfriend? He is married, isn't he?) and the pics with Jake's mom, were both bolder steps taken to try & put a stamp of validity on Reeke.

Hello. Jake was at the Golden Globes. Maggie was at the Golden Globes. It is reasonable to extrapolate that they may have talked to each other.

I am one who would also like to know why people think that Austin and Jake are still together. I would also like to know why Austin is enabling the bearding. Does he have no pride?

Hello. Golden Globes was a very public event, but we don't have any pictures not sightings of Jake and Maggie.

It is reasonable to extrapolate that Jake meets (in private) with family, friends and lovers.

Anonymous said...

Jake and Maggie obviously "saw" each other at this public event. No one knows if they spoke or not.

I sure Jake meets with many lovers in private. I just don't have a reason to believe Austin is one of them.

I thought the consensus over at OMG was that Jake only spends his time with Reese (enforced by a "contract" and their pr) and this is based only on the photos.

Is there a different outlook here?

Prairiegirl, as the previous poster stated, it would take shitloads of money to pay paps/tabloids off for taking pictures of J/A out together. And for almost 2 years. Sorry, I can't fathom that, and it's a little far fetched. Someone posting recently that if Jake and Reese are out only for photo ops and calling the paps, then what's to say that any other major A list or b list or minor star is not doing it. Reese and Jake are not high on the Fan registar when it comes to some of the others. It sounds too much like there is some need for it to be fake by you instead of the cup half full / half empty reasoning. If you have a need for Jake and Austin to be together, then say it, don't be ashamed while still grasping for straws. Because you have the same evidence everyone else here has, none.

Now this statement is stupid anon 12:24. If Jake and Austin are together as some here believe, then why would they not be out and about together. Austin is deffinately out and about, but he seems to be photographed alone. Jake is paped alone or with Reese, but some here seem to think Austin is always close by. Or that they have a baby together or something. And someone asks the question, why would they be out together. Wow.

Caught in the Act! How Hollywood's bold-faced names secretly steer the celebrity news machine

MARCH 4, 2006

Caught in the Act!

How Hollywood's bold-faced names secretly steer the celebrity news machine.

At tomorrow night's Academy Awards, celebrities will smile and turn as they parade down the red carpet before a phalanx of cameras. Behind the flashbulbs, a delicate new game is under way between the stars and the vast gossip industry of TV shows, magazines and Web sites that feeds upon them.

It has always been a relationship built upon animosity and mutual need. But tensions have grown with the explosion of media running paparazzi photos of stars canoodling or emerging from coffee shops in frumpy track suits. Now many stars including Gwyneth Paltrow, Angelina Jolie and Jessica Simpson are fighting back. They are hiring their own photographers to capture supposedly private rendezvous, tipping off reporters to their whereabouts and developing relationships of mutual back-scratching with magazine editors.

The result is the flowering of a genre: fake paparazzi journalism, or the staging of "unstaged" moments. It is an art form that benefits both stars and the press. Stars get to participate in the framing of their image and magazines appear to give readers a glimpse of the real celebrity untouched by public-relations varnish.

When Ms. Paltrow gave birth in 2004, she knew there would be a high bounty on the first photo of her newborn daughter. A staple of the celebrity press, the actress and her husband, Chris Martin, leader of the band Coldplay, decided to take matters into their own hands and tip off a photographer they knew, Steve Sands. Mr. Sands took what appeared to be surprise shots of the two emerging from the hospital in London with the baby and sold them to People for $125,000, according to a person familiar with the arrangement. Larry Hackett, managing editor of People, says he knew that Mr. Sands had been tipped off by Ms. Paltrow. But he didn't see the need to inform readers about it. "I just don't know how illuminating it is," he says.

Stephen Huvane, a publicist at public-relations firm PMK/HBH who handles Ms. Paltrow, confirms Mr. Sands's account. "You'll see a lot more of that happening," says Mr. Huvane. Pictures such as the one of Ms. Paltrow help the stars stay in the limelight -- but on their terms. "When celebrities do this, it's a way for them to deliver news that they want delivered," says Bonnie Fuller, the editorial director of American Media Inc., which publishes Star and the National Enquirer. By strategically sating the demand for images, stars may be able to tame the paparazzi mob -- although in Ms. Paltrow's case, photographers continued to stake out her home for shots of her and the baby.

The current strategies hark back to the Hollywood of the 1940s and 1950s, when studios, movie stars and the press worked hand-in-hand to create and maintain screen icons for worshipful fans. Today, the coverage of the stars has exploded. According to the Audit Bureau of Circulations, circulation of US Weekly stood at an average of 1,662,000 in the six months ending in January of this year, up 12.7% from the same period a year earlier. Circulation at Bauer Publishing's InTouch climbed 15.5% to 1,178,000, and at Star rose 12.3% to 1,460,000.

The magazines are lucrative. US Weekly sells a million copies a week on the newsstand at $3.49 apiece. The magazine turns an operating profit of $50 million a year, says a person familiar with its accounts. People, which has a circulation of 3.8 million, brings in by far the most revenue and profit of any of the 154 magazines owned by Time Inc., a division of Time Warner Inc. Network TV programs like Access Hollywood, cable channels like E! Entertainment Television Inc. and Web sites have added to the coverage. All these outlets compete for photos documenting the daily lives of a small cast of celebrities. These stars, in turn, seek to control their images without appearing to, because doing so would ruin their mystique.

"All those dirty little secrets in Hollywood include tipping paparazzi off and playing games with them," says New York-based public-relations professional Ken Sunshine, whose clients include corporations and stars such as Ben Affleck and Leonardo DiCaprio. He says people might find that "unethical" if they knew about it, "but unfortunately it seems to be an accepted part of the business."

Magazines have generally played along. In 2003, Ms. Jolie tipped off US Weekly that she would appear in a park one afternoon with her adopted son, Maddox, according to two people familiar with the situation. The actress had recently divorced actor Billy Bob Thornton, a relationship which was portrayed as reckless and bizarre. These two people say US Weekly knew Ms. Jolie had green-lighted the photo, which softened her image by showing her maternal side. However, the magazine didn't tell readers about it. Repeated calls to Ms. Jolie's manager for comment were not returned. Mr. Hackett of People says Ms. Jolie, who does not have a publicist, is among the most sophisticated manipulators of the press. "She is totally, totally using it," he says. "I think that's brilliant."

Even images that are clearly taken with a star's consent may conceal deeper ties between the star and the media. Ms. Simpson, a pop singer, had a close relationship with US Weekly, but it became contentious after the magazine broke the news that she was breaking up with husband Nick Lachey, who starred with Ms. Simpson in a reality-TV show. Ms. Simpson formed a business relationship with OK! USA, a weekly published by London-based Northern & Shell PLC that sometimes pays celebrities for access and lets them approve magazine layouts. The deal with Ms. Simpson requires the star to appear in the magazine a certain number of times in exchange for payment, according to the magazine. A publicist for Ms. Simpson declined to comment.

In the old studio era, too, celebrities and the press were co-conspirators in crafting storylines that were often distant from reality. A famous instance was Rock Hudson, who despite being secretly gay was publicly married to Phyllis Gates. By the 1960s, when Marilyn Monroe's tragic life became a public drama and television dimmed the pre-eminence of Hollywood movies, the media grew beyond its role as a publicity mouthpiece. A raft of tabloids began publishing more sensational stories that claimed to get around the glossy images projected by the studios. These tabloids had titles like "Hollywood Confidential," "Hush-Hush," "Inside Story" and "The Lowdown."

People magazine, introduced in 1974, combined celebrity coverage with the journalistic heritage of parent Time Inc. For years People was the only publication of its kind and an essential tool for celebrities to promote their careers. "There was a lot more access then," says Susan Toepfer, a former deputy managing editor at People who is now editor in chief of Quick & Simple. "When I was writing about celebrities in the '70s and '80s, you could spend days with them." But magazines soon discovered that so-called write-arounds, stories written without the cooperation of the star and using anonymous sources, were more popular. The stories were juicier and the stars seemed more human. In 1991, for instance, People published stories such as "The Big Breakup!" detailing the relationship between Julia Roberts and Kiefer Sutherland, and the next year the magazine did an expose called "Plastic Surgery Of The Stars." In response, the celebrities and their handlers circled the wagons. Publicists began forcing reporters to sign agreements to avoid certain topics or demanding approval over writers and cover layouts.

In 1992, the editors of People gathered in Aspen, Colo., to discuss what was working and what wasn't, recalls Jack Kelley, a former Los Angeles bureau chief for the magazine. Cover stories written with a celebrity's cooperation had a newsstand "sell-through" of 49.3%, meaning about half of the copies distributed to newsstands got sold. Write-arounds had a sell-through of 67.4%. "It was kind of a no-brainer," says Mr. Kelley. "At that point, we decided we weren't going to worry so much about cooperation. We were going to approach celebrity reporting like any reporting."

The arrival of Ms. Fuller at US Weekly in 2002 raised the tensions even higher. She pioneered the photography-heavy coverage popular today, and paid for paparazzi photos depicting the stars in an unflattering light. A recent example was the image of singer Britney Spears driving down a freeway with her baby in her lap. It appeared in Star magazine, which Ms. Fuller now supervises in her post at American Media. A new generation of "stalkarazzi" has specialized in capturing awkward moments. Mr. Sunshine, the New York publicist, recalls one occasion when he went to the bathroom with a client. "We were about to go to the urinal," he says, "and someone pointed to a stall half-opened. I pushed the door open and there was a guy with a long lens in there about to take a photo." This year California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger signed a bill that attempts to crack down on stalkarazzi.

The photographers' onslaught has put stars in a tough spot. If they ignore the magazines, they let such pictures define their public image. But sitting down for formulaic interviews and staged publicity shots won't necessarily satisfy the magazines' lust for juicy stories. The answer is manipulation so subtle it's hard to say if there's any manipulation at all. In January, when rumors swirled in the press that Ms. Jolie might be pregnant with the child of actor Brad Pitt, Ms. Jolie arranged for an employee of the charity Yéle Haiti to take a picture of her with her growing belly.

Ms. Jolie then let Yéle Haiti sell the picture to People, according to Mr. Hackett, the magazine's managing editor, and a representative for Mr. Pitt. A person familiar with the situation says People paid $400,000 for the picture. It appeared on the cover of the magazine with the headline: "Angelina Reveals: 'Yes, I'm Pregnant.' " (The incident was first reported by The New York Post.) By arranging the Haiti photo, Ms. Jolie reaped several benefits. She ensured the picture was flattering. In diverting the money to charity, she put a twist on a tactic used by celebrities in recent years in which they arrange to be paid for wedding or baby photos with the proceeds going to charity. And Ms. Jolie reminded fans of her devotion to humanitarian causes. She had taken a hit months earlier when she struck up a relationship with Mr. Pitt shortly after his marriage to actress Jennifer Aniston broke up.

In many cases, stars don't need to try that hard. When celebrities pick a location like the terrace at the Ivy restaurant in Beverly Hills, they know they're liable to appear in the glossies the next week. A bank of photographers regularly sits on the other side of the street with long-range lenses. Actor Tom Cruise was thus captured on film last year when he roared up to the Ivy on his motorcycle accompanied by then-new girlfriend Katie Holmes. Similarly, when speculation was mounting about Mr. Cruise's romance with actress Penelope Cruz after his breakup with Nicole Kidman, the new couple showed up for lunch at the Beverly Hills restaurant Spago. Photographer Steve Granitz, who has photographed Mr. Cruise regularly since 1981, says he got a tip about the couple's presence. When Mr. Granitz arrived with his camera, Mr. Cruise and Ms. Cruz emerged from the doorway, smiled and kissed. The images, which looked like standard-issue paparazzi shots, were published in nearly all the celebrity magazines that week.

"I would probably say at least 50% of what you see in terms of Hollywood coverage is something that was not necessarily born organically," says Janice Min, editor in chief of US Weekly. "This is a totally symbiotic relationship. This is how celebrities survive."

I hope everyone who thinks celebrities or A list stars don't (need to) use paparazzi for publicity will take time to read this article.

I'm not even going to get into an exchange on this. It's pointless.
12:15, I have no problem with you believing that Jake & Austin are not still together or ever have been. No, I don't have 100% proof. I'm not going to be that stupid. I believe what I believe and you certainly believe what you do. I have no qualms with that.

I will say this. There's a whole lot of other pictures the paparazzi could get on celebrities on the secrets that go on there. I don't think they are at liberty to always do it. People can indeed be bought to lay off or keep quiet. I think if one doesn't believe that, one is hiding their head in the sand. Being persuaded or intimidated to keep quiet on some things is a practice that is as old as time and applies to just about any aspect in life, not just the profession of picture taking.

And thank you, 1:09, for that really interesting article. I hadn't seen that. Kind of spooky, isn't it? It's all games. And to think that I used to buy all of that drip several years ago. Thanks to these 2 websites, my eyes have been wisely opened to some of the shenanigans that goes on in HW. How naive I was.
Sometimes one just shakes their head in amusement. Sometimes it makes me want to throw something in frustration. And sometimes, it just makes me shake my head in bewilderment when I see the change that seems to be taking place in someone's life. And that happens when I look at Katie Holmes and Jake Gyllenhaal, two people who seem to be in different places than they were anticipating being. Don't even get me started on Katie Holmes. Now there's an inside story I would love to read.

Remember who pushed Shakespeare in Love at Oscars with bribes and bags of goodies? He's at it again.

“People were surprised ‘The Reader’ got the fifth slot instead of ‘Dark Knight,’” said Michael London, a producer on “Milk” and “The Visitor.” “That seemed to be the biggest surprise. People are talking about it. I don’t know what it means. I love ‘The Dark Knight.’ It was a fantastic movie, but I suppose it’s difficult for successful popcorn movies to get serious attention from the academy. It’s a knee-jerk thing where smaller movies are perceived as more artistic.”

As for now it appears that “The Reader’s” baffling appearance in the Oscar race is due to the clever work of Harvey Weinstein:
Obviously, Harvey Weinstein, who willed “The Reader” into this year’s race against all odds and the objections of original producer Scott Rudin (who took his name off the film), thinks so on the evidence of a triumphant five nominations, all in key categories like best picture, actress, screenplay, directing and cinematography.

Harvey Weinstein just called sounding deliriously happy about his latest Academy Awards success story and he’s just getting revved up with that old Oscar mojo of his. “I tell people its nice we got all the nominations but do not count yourself out. You have a real chance to overtake this all. We’ve seen that happen with ‘Crash’ and ‘Brokeback Mountain’. It’s all great. The only thing I can say is the race ain’t over. It’s just beginning,” he said.

Weaver shines in tale of hard-won tolerance

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Exceptional performances abound in this poignant drama about a mother who realizes too late that unconditional love for her gay son is far more important than her faith in a homophobic, vindictive and judgmental God.

Based on a true story detailed in the 1995 book "Prayers For Bobby: A Mother's Coming to Terms With the Suicide of Her Gay Son" by late gay journalist Leroy Aarons, the film is an undeniable tour de force for Sigourney Weaver, who portrays the rigidly devout and ultimately devastated mother with a raw intensity and passion.

Moreover, the film has all the earmarks of "important television" without crossing the line into preachy melodrama, earning its tears the old-fashioned way: via a wise, evocative script and sensitive characterizations. It feels like the kind of movie that really could make a difference in the lives of actual moms and dads struggling to come to grips with a gay child's lifestyle.

If "Bobby" comes across as a bit dated in addressing the subject, it's because it is -- by design. It opens in 1979 and covers roughly three years' time.

Ryan Kelley delivers a terrific, measured performance as the title character. He's the youngest son in a close-knit, religious family of six in Walnut Creek, California, who carries around what he's convinced is a shameful secret: He's attracted to boys, not girls. He finally divulges this to his generally understanding older brother Ed (Austin Nichols), but Ed breaks a promise by spilling the beans to the family.

Everyone comes to accept it pretty well aside from Mom, Mary Griffith (Weaver), who turns to shrinks and Scripture in a desperate effort to keep Bobby from being damned to hell. It leads to a suicidal leap from a freeway overpass.

Some might see the proverbial gay agenda at work in "Bobby," but in truth it's a family drama highlighted by one woman's wrenching journey from blind belief to tolerance, insight and ultimately activism.

Scribe Katie Ford's superb adaptation is successful at connecting the dialogue dots and delivering a profound punch to the gut. She's certainly fortunate to have a performer as dynamic as Weaver uttering her words. Overall, this represents one of Lifetime's finest moments, an original that soars above the network's typical overwrought dramatics.

Eric Dane Breaks His Penis, Inspires Nationwide Rush to Google

On last night's Grey's Anatomy, McSteamy broke a very vital bone, inspiring a nationwide rush to Google which I've capped for you, below left.

CBS offers some answers, and some advice: "There is no 'penis bone,' but you can break your penis all the same. It's called penile fracture, and it's not a subtle injury. When it happens, there's 'an audible pop or snap,' Montague says. Then the penis turns black and blue. And there's terrible pain. Penile fracture is rare, and it typically happens to younger men because their erections tend to be quite rigid. Here's how to avoid penile fracture: don't use your penis too roughly. A common way that penile fracture happens, Montague says, is when a man is thrusting too hard and fast during sex, and slams into his partner's pubic bone. Also, a woman who moves wildly while on top of a man during sex can break a man's penis."

That, we assume, would apply to men too. Be careful out there.

Who knows why Austin puts up with the bearding--fool in love, Jake wasn't getting work and he didn't want to make him choose between his career/doing the thing he loves and their relationship..... but I don't think he should be slammed for what Jake is doing. Relationships are about compromise.

I also suspect that Jake & Austin thought bearding would be easy--but look how miserable Jake looks anymore, it is obviously taking its toll on him.

As for going out, well, if there really is a BT, they're probably at home with the kid like most parents of young kids.

And the paps? Well, I'm sure they make a lot more money selling pictures of Reeke week after week than they would from a one time J&A caught together set of pictures, and then they'd lose access to the reeke gravy train. Same with the rags.

"You know you've hit a nerve with the intellectually weak when they start the "troll" name calling again. They don't have a strong counterargument. They have no current evidence to support their positions, so they resort to the name calling.

It is possible that J and A are still together. But it's alot more likely that they are not.

After all, I thought we were supposed to be waiting on Toothy. Austin is irrelevant, always has been, always will be."

New pics of Reeke on IHJ and they look as miserable as any two people I have ever seen. PR must have put a gun to their heads and said people are complaining that you have not been seen together.

Still crying after Heath? That would be redeeming.

Doubtful.

The evidence that Reeke is fake lies in the pictures themselves. No chemistry, no love, no sexuality, grim faces, no connection. Even the ones that purport to show otherwise - like the dinner pics or that fake Lakers kiss - are taken in dim light or in akward poses that hide their true faces. Contrast Reeke pics with pics of Heath with his women, even women he just dated casually. They smoulder, their limbs are wrapped round each other, they are touching. Night and day. No further proof needed.

Okay, just going back to what was being talked about re: Austin and Jake not being "seen" together = not together.

For argument's sake (and I don't claim to know that they are together now) but I know 100% that these two managed to get away to another state entirely and spend quality and I mean quality time with friends and family elsewhere.

And they were never once papped, it was never reported and even an "ex-gf" managed to call round for a friendly meet up. None was reported publicly.

Why? Because sweetums do-da's, there ARE things that go on that the vast majority of the public are completely oblivious to, and that other people work very VERY hard to keep private, because it's their job to.

Why this is such a mystery to some of you baffles me! Yup, we live in a day and age of info tech and computers and cell phones but we ALSO live in a day and age of old-fashioned loyalty, payoffs and plain old being able to slip away unnoticed from time to time by diversionary tactics.

And time to time is all you need to maintain relationships in Hollywood.

Page Six

TABLE FOR TWO

IS Kirsten Dunst (above) getting cozy with Josh Hartnett again? They've been linked to each other on and off for a year, and a Page Six spy saw them at Blue Ribbon Sushi on Sullivan Street Thursday night. "They were whispering and smiling at each other," said the onlooker. "At times it looked like she wanted to grab his hand, but stopped. She was especially smitten with him." Hartnett has recently been linked to Rihanna and Sienna Miller, and Dunst has been spotted with Justin Long and Ryan Gosling.

What happened to Josh Hartnett ’s career? Too much drugs? Too little talent?

Reese wearing Jake's beanie - one of the most pathetic Reese's act. LOL

Anonymous said...

Reese doing that is just further evidence imo that that shirt was Austin's. Have you ever seen such fear over one shirt?

Sadly it makes me think of the power of another shirt--the one in BBM.

While I think he's still sad about Heath, I think he's not happy with the Reese situation. JMO!

I hate him. I heard he's a major druggie and unfortunately was one of Heath's industry "friends".
I think, except for Heath's childhood mates, most of his US "friends" were losers and enablers (Hartnett, Dunst), except for Jake I think/hope.

Re. Dunst - I'm glad as hell Jake got rid of that stinky junkie.

Ha, ha!! Meanie Reese snatched the beanie off of Jake's big head and wore it, poor Jake was defenesless!

Reese has worn Jake's coat back in December and a scarf as well last year, nothing new here folks.

Thee are pics of Jake wearing shirts,plaid with the cuffs rolled up something you but failed to point out.:

http://www.iheartjakemedia.com/displayimage.php?pid=37917&fullsize=1

There are more on IHJ, BTW the shirt he wore the other day was plaid/checkered not striped, one in a long line of plaid shirts and this one looks like it was cuffed a few times, I suppose ths shirt and other shirts where the cuffs are rolled up are Austins too.

There is no fear of that shirt, what are you smoking? I don't recall People or the Star talking about it, only here and OMG, you must be arrogant if you think they pay attention to to such a small fringe group. I think you do realize that but you like to think otherwise because you don't like what's going on and him wearing the postage t-shirt and her the beanie and scarf have put you o edge.

Trolly, still obsessing about Austin shirt speculations? Still not sure about Reeke? LOL

The new pics indicate Jake'll soon get rid of that annoying brat of a woman. After he gets rid of her hopefully we'll see him more with his family, friends and maybe his goddaughter? Would be nice.
Hurry up Jake, get rid of Chinny!

I personally don't believe Jake is with Austin anymore, I do think they were together though. I think he's unhappy with Reese, I do think they are in a relationship, but I'm betting not long anymore.

No, we don't like what's going on - Jake bearding with a silly bitch.

When Reeke got together I really didn't care if it was real or fake, I liked Jake and wanted to follow him as an actor. But then Heath died and Reeke acted everything else than respectful with their photo ops, that's when I started to dislike this coupling.

Jake hasn't seen his goddaugher in ages, he is Matilda's celebrity godfather, I assume Matilda has a real godfather.

Jake and Busy are her only godparents. Jake said that it was an amazing honor to be Matilda's godfather and that he lurves Mich & Mat. ;)

If you and the babbling cabal have no fear, of the shirt, of Austin, of anything TT related, then why waste your time here?

If what we discuss here tetters on the lunatic fringe edge, then why waste your time here?

If you are firmly convinced, 100% proof postive that Reeke is real and true and lasting love, then why are you wasting your time on a Waiting for Toothy blog?

I know why.

Every time a babbler feels compelled to read/post on WFT2 or OMG, anywhere on the interwebs that mentions Jake even in passing, the Reekes of desparation, and actually helps the Jaustin cause.

Anonymous said...

A question to the babblers:

Why is my opinion your concern? In the grand scheme of things, what does it truly matter what I believe? So what, I think Jake is gay, maybe still with Austin, and Reeke is as fake as Pam Anderson's boobs. Why does that bother you to the point of wasting precious life minutes to froth and snarl all over this blog? What rewards are you envisioning for your dedication to the Jake Is Straight campaign? Does each post here somehow make you feel more proud, more righteous?

I am confounded by it all, truly.

Wheee!!! I love awards season. Fingers crossed for Heath. Thanks for posting the info, 10:15! :)

Nice try.I'm not a babbler, just sick and tired of the Reeke obsession here. If you believe they are fake, then they are. The fact that you go off on a tizzy every time those bores do a photo ops looks like you are not sure what to make of them.

There is no diference between the J/A fangirls and the J/R fsngirls: Both spinning fanfic.

This blog is called WFT2 not the Reeke blog, why are you here? If you are so obsessed with them why don't you create aa blog about them? The girls on IHJ are not even as obsessed with them like you are, it's just weird and again no discussion abot Prayers for Bobby, why is that? Is it because you didn't see it? Pathetic.

You are obsessed with Reeke, plain and simple and you come off sounding like a bunch of over heated fangirls.
