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

Sorella, Jake is a Buddhist.

Jake may practice buddhism, but he was born of a Jewish woman and so is considered Jewish. He had a bar mitzvah as well and has talked about it in interviews.

"I also don't buy that Jake is just not "ready" to acknowledge his sexuality. If that was the case would we really having gotten all the ambiguous language in interviews during BBM, all those pictures with Austin, hopping on stage with Rufus to sing "Between my Legs" and so on? Those don't sound like the acts of someone who can't deal with being gay. There was every indication he was on the verge on coming out, and then he slammed the door and gave Reese a piggyback ride in Rome, and the rest is "history", as they say."

Oh maybe he wanted to keep his "unique" fan base alive showing he is gay friendly . Now he has alienated fans who take him for the "gay messiah" he may has remorses LOL

TMZ update:

UPDATE: Jake has finally been excused for the day -- but he hasn't been excused from the case.

While inside the courtroom, Jake was allowed to go through voir dire (the juror questioning process) in a private room.

He'll be back tomorrow to find out if he's been selected as a juror.

Stay tuned!

There's this one picture where Jake's middle finger is extended, but it's not clear whether he is subtly flipping the bird at the photographer, or just reaching for something inside his sweater.

The bird at the photographer makes sense. We know from the videos that some paparazzi shout at celebrities nice and not so nice things.

I don't understand what the big deal is with celebs flipping the bird in pictures. They aren't flipping it to the people looking at the picture but to the person taking it. And some of the paps are obviously assholes.

From TMZ:

In LA it's one day/one trial process for jury duty, so if your name is not called in the assembly room, you are done. No need to go in again for at least a year. If your name is called, it can sometimes take days before your voir dire. You know you're picked or dismissed as soon as the individual voir dire is over. If he's been interviewed and released today, and has to come back tomorrow, then he's been chosen to serve on the jury. And all it takes to be have the questioning done in private is to ask the judge and they will do it in his/her chambers. Everyone gets that option in case there are things about themselves they don't want discussed in front of the other prospective jury members. It's no big deal.

I automatically thought of the word "freak" in the sexual sense, a la Urban dictionary:

"Freak" in this sense may be used either as a pejorative, a term of admiration, or a self-description. It can also denote a strong obsession with a particular activity, e.g., "He's such a neat-freak" or "You're a singing freak". The term "freaky" can also apply to a person who is sexually adventurous, or by itself as in "that person's a freak" (in bed.)

Dear Ted:
Lova ya, Ted, but when that reader chimed in about you being like the evil Ann Coulter, it's not a compliment. All it means is that you whine about a politician without any evidence to back it up (such as citing an actual executive order that contradicts his campaign promises). Hate to break it to ya, but so far everything he has done as president is what he said he would—anyone who follows politics knows that. And on another note, we need some serious gossip! Work is busy again, and you normally are the highlight of my day! Is it slow because of Oscar season?

Jake's being Jewish and Buddhist is one of the most beautiful things about him. I don't want him to be portrayed in the media as bland either, we like him just the way he is. It's so obviously a fauxmance; they've put him with the most straight, ultra-conservative blonde shiksa in HW - that says a lot to me.

The lawyers for both sides would probably prefer not to have a celebrity on the jury.

Oprah was on a jury.


Jake may practice buddhism, but he was born of a Jewish woman and so is considered Jewish.

A person is the religion they practice and believe, not the religion they were born into. Or do you not think it's possible to change your religion?

Anonymous said...

No, I believe, and correct me if I am wrong, but according to Jewish Law, a person born Jewish is always Jewish, no matter what they do.

Anonymous said...

It's a bit more complicated for Jews:

"In traditional Judaism, a Jew is a person born to a Jewish mother or who is a convert to Judaism. No other way to recognition is allowed for. As a result, the mere acceptance of the principles and practices of Judaism does not by themselves make a person a Jew. But, conversely, those born Jewish do not lose that status because they cease to be observant Jews, even if they adopt the practices of another religion."

^^You stated it much better than I did, but that's what I meant. I hate when people of other beautiful cultures and religions are not respected as much as the so-called mainstream ones. :(

There has been no indication that Jake practices Buddhism, despite his interest in that thought and practice.

Jake has said he thinks of himself as being a Jew.

Bob Dylan had something like a Christian conversion, but I doubt he thinks of himself as a "Christian" -

Of course it's possible to "convert" but early childhood experiences as the Catholics know are extremely important in imprinting traditional values.

If Jake and Reese truly are a couple, they should share their beautiful cultures and traditions together. Nothing is more beautiful than a couple merging their own cultural identies in a marriage and a family, and it's not confusing to children, people do it all the time. It actually leads to more understanding and tolerance, I believe.

Oh, bleh. Jake and Reese are not truly a couple, so the point is moot.

What's so beautiful about Hinduism and Buddhism is that any religion can recognize and incorporate these beliefs. They're not as rigid as Western religions can be. In theory, anyway; in practice there seems to be a lot of fighting.

Anonymous said...

10:24, that is only true of certain Orthodox communities. Most Jews in the U.S. are not Orthodox, however, and there is a lot more acceptance of homosexuality in Judiasm than in many Christian denominations. You just have to walk into any reform or conservative synagogue in New York to see that. And I'm pretty sure the poll numbers on gay marriage show a high rate of acceptance by Jews in comparison to Christians.

And even in the Orthodox community there is a certain amount of acceptance, depending upon how traditional the community is, e.g., modern Orthdox vs the black hat community.

Anonymous said...

The prevalent view? I think you have it completely backwards. Jews have been by far the most supportive of gay rights. For example:

Los Angeles Jews were more opposed to Prop 8 than any other religious group or ethnic group in the city. Jewish Angelinos voted 78% against the ban while only 8% supported the ban; the remainder declined to respond

Jake G. Spits Up after Court

Jake Gyllenhaal was so bored after his first day of jury service yesterday, he could spit. Yes, we know it doesn't make sense, but he spit as he left the courthouse.

Jake's prospective new role -- juror in a misdemeanor battery case in downtown L.A. He's back in court at 10:30 AM. He's on a panel and has not yet been questioned by the lawyers. We were there yesterday as Jake sat all morning in the jury assembly room, squished into a corner by a really large man.

Will Jake make the cut today? A lot is riding on it. He stands to earn $15 a day and $.34 a mile.

Stay tuned.

Jake, like most people who have a special interest in him, is a progressive. Specific restrictions that you may think apply to any given religion, like "you can't be both Jewish and Buddhist," (or Swedenborgian for that matter) are irrelevant. That's your restriction, not ours.

For Anon. 10:37:

Hinduism is a unique faith! The most obvious misconception about Hinduism is that we tend to see it as just another religion. To be precise, Hinduism is a way of life, a dharma. Dharma does not mean religion. It is the law that governs all action. Thus, contrary to popular perception, Hinduism is not just a religion in the tradition sense of the term. Out of this misinterpretation, has come most of the misconceptions about Hinduism.

Hinduism: A Modern Term
Words like Hindu or Hinduism are ananchronisms. They do not exist in the Indian cultural lexicon. People have coined them to suit their needs in different points of history. Nowhere in the scriptures is there any reference to Hinduism.

Hinduism is a Not really Polytheistic!
Many believe that multiplicity of deities makes Hinduism polytheistic. Such a belief is nothing short of mistaking the wood for the tree. The bewildering diversity of Hindu belief - theistic, atheistic and agnostic - rests on a solid unity. "Ekam sath, Vipraah bahudhaa vadanti", says the Rig Veda: The Truth (God, Brahman, etc) is one, scholars call it by various names.

What the multipicity of deities does indicate is Hinduism's spiritual hospitality as evidenced by two characteristically Hindu doctrines: The Doctrine of Spiritual Competence (Adhikaara) and the Doctrine of The Chosen Deity (Ishhta Devata). The doctrine of spiritual competence requires that the spiritual practices prescribed to a person should correspond to his or her spiritual competence. The doctrine of the chosen deity gives a person the freedom to choose (or invent) a form of Brahman that satisfies his spiritual cravings and to make it the object of his worship. It is notable that both doctrines are consistent with Hinduism's assertion that the unchanging reality is present in everything, even the transient.

A Culture More than a Religion
Hinduism does not have any one founder, and it does not have a Bible or a Koran to which controversies can be referred for resolution. Consequently, it does not require its adherents to accept any one idea. It is thus cultural, not creedal, with a history contemporaneous with the peoples with which it is associated.

Much More than Spirituality
Writings we now categorise as Hindu scriptures include not just books relating to spirituality but also secular pursuits like science, medicine and engineering. This is another reason why it defies classification as a religion per se.


This is the very definition of an open belief system IMO - Jesus, Mohammed, and other prophets in the past and expected in the future can all be accounted for in it - in my view, they are all manifesations of the same thing. :)

Ricky Martin Takes His Sons Out For A Chilly Stroll

Mr. Mom

When last we saw new papa Ricky Martin he was posing on the cover of People En Español magazine introducing his twin sons Matteo and Valentino to the world. Since then, father and sons have been keeping a relatively low profile out of the public eye. At last, the Martin men have surfaced in NYC where they were spied enjoying a brisk winter stroll in Central Park last week:

Despite the frigid temps, Ricky thought it would be nice to bundle up his boys and pack them into a baby stroller to push them around in the cold NYC weather … tho, I’m not sure why. In any event, it appears that Ricky is happily enjoying his new role as single dad. I seem to recall that Ricky was seriously dating some chick a couple of years ago but we don’t hear very much about any love interest in his life these days. I wonder whatever happened to that chick? Since Ricky’s sons were born via gestational surrogacy, I assume the woman who bore the children is not at all involved with Ricky or the twins at all. HMMM. Clearly, Ricky heeded the call of his biological clock and decided to take on fatherhood all on his own. I wonder if he will ever find true, honest love. As wonderful as being a parent is, I’m sure, I hope he is able to be honest with himself and find that special someone to share his life and his new family with.

Jake G. Kicks Ass -- Ours!

Our photog got a kick out of Jake Gyllenhaal today outside court -- as in, Jake mule-kicked him in the leg!

Our cameraman was waiting for Jake to return from a scheduled lunch break from jury duty, when a frustrated Gyllenhaal walked into the door after pushing instead of pulling. We asked how he was doing ... wrong question ... Jake stomped down into our guy's shin.

Jake's now inside the courthouse, waiting to find out if he'll be selected on a jury that will hear -- get this -- a battery case.

UPDATE: 5:14 PM ET: Gyllenhaal was just excused from jury service in the battery case....probably because he just committed one!

Am I forgetting any friendly gesture? I hope so ... remind me!

I'm not saying it's "wrong" of him.

I'm saying it just adds to my impression that he is miserable.

^^It looks that way. :(

I just want my Deity to be happy! :) :)

Seriously. He might be happier if we (I?) just shut up, but I'm not convinced of that either. So I'm gonna keep worshipping in my own way :D

Hope tomorrow's better for you Jake and Jakers!

Actually, I think of Jake as a demigod. ;)

If I had to trot around with a bossy, chinny, midget and pretend I love her for going on more than a year, and everyone is still laughing and calling it a bearding campaign and no one is willing to give me a decent project to work on, hell, I'll be real mad too!

^^What else could it possibly be? Or perhaps Bruckheimer is makin' him mad.

Maybe he needs to toss her into an active volcano the next time they are in Hawaii to appease the Goddess Pele. ;)

LOL Now *that's* creative!

Of course, the volcano would probably cough and spit her back out, she's so disagreeable. ;)

We'd better stop, or one of the patrolling Babblers will come rushing over with the same lament "I just don't understand the hate!" lol

Jakey Gyllenhaal’s a Jittery Juror

Wonder what got Jake Gyllenhaal so riled up he just kicked that cameraman while doing jury duty? Sure enough, J.G. was just holed up at the Clara Shortridge Foltz criminal courthouse in downtown L.A. for a day and change, appearing as a potential juror on a misdemeanor battery case.

Reese's man-sized handbag was starting to get anxious at the possibility of being cast as a juror. Actually, doesn't look good for any justice to get served, I'll tell ya that much; here's why:

"He kept fidgeting and looking around the courtroom," a source squawked to us about Mr. G.'s slightly stooped appearance downtown. Guess Jakey doesn't know what to do with his hands when he's not holding a vanilla latte, a dog leash or Witherspoon's tiny paw in it? Just a thought, nothing more.

Continued our insider on a sad-lookin' Jakey-poo: "You could tell he really wants to leave."

Well, duh. No one wants to be there. But nonetheless, probably the first time Jake's felt like a normal dude in years. And he could use some free time from being a PDA machine. But Gyll-hon was dismissed, led away by sheriff and court escorts. "It seemed like he had more security today than yesterday," said our source. "Definitely the star treatment."

Rest assured J.G. spent his few hours of normal-guy time wisely: snacking on some sneaked-in munchies and reading a script. Could it be a sequel to The Juror? Or Brokeback Mountain, perhaps? I mean, Milk is such a hit, right? Doesn't that mean the market's ripe for some sort of homo-franchise to be brought out?

And who cares if Jake died in the movie? That's what prequels are for! Oh, never mind, it was probably some kind of anger management pamphlet disguised inside a script folder, don't you think?


The awful truth

^^I love that Ted sticks a vanilla reference in there every chance he gets! ;)


LOL Now *that's* creative!

My favorite way is to take her out on the bayou and toss her to the 'gators. The perfect crime. Hee! Just kidding.
