Beard or Bust!
If you are really Master of your Fate, it shouldn't make any difference to you whether Cleopatra or the Bearded Lady is your mate.
- Ogden Nash
I never had long hair before I got busted. I never had a beard before I got busted.
- Charles Manson
If the beard were all, goats could preach.
- Danish proverb
You can't grow a beard if you shave.
- Bob Blue
NO! Not the beard!
- Lord of The Rings
In Hollywood, you can keep a mistress, or a boyfriend, maybe both. You can go gay, bi, or pan-sexual. Just don't tell anybody, and don't get caught.
- Rock Hudson

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 1340 Newer› Newest»Dear Ted:
I absolutely love your blolumn and your sass! I hope all is well for you! I was curious though as to whether or not Brad Pitt and George Clooney are secret bi-lovers. c'mon you must admit that would be a pretty hot to picture! Also, is Brad still lusting after Jen? Something I read on one of our Canadian sites.
—Scutton
Dear Wishful Thinking:
Gay heads are exploding everywhere at the thought of those two guys as an item. Now that would be the couple to dethrone Brangelina. And no, Bradley is too whipped to be thinking about Aniston. He will, though, they always do, these dogs, come whimpering back, you know...

Anne Hathaway To Break New, Cross-Dressing Ground Onstage
Happily, Bride Wars wasn't the '09 setback we feared for Anne Hathaway, but rather a minor detour on her way to the coveted, gender-bending Shakespearean promised land.
New York's Public Theater announced today that Hathaway would appear in this summer's Shakespeare in the Park production of Twelfth Night — its sixth mounting of the comedy, but no doubt the first featuring the Oscar-nominated ex of a faux-Vatican CFO. As a man. Sort of: Hathaway will play the female lead Viola, shipwrecked with her identical twin Sebastian in the mythical dukedom of Illyria. Mistaken identity, servitude and cross-dressing ensue, and Viola falls in love with the Duke. Whose role hasn't yet been cast, we hear, though let's be honest: If ever there were a time for Hathaway and Frank Langella to settle their filthy unfinished business, this would be it.

Michelle, Matilda and friend out and about in NYC
So nice to see happy Matilda :)
Who's the friend, did we see him before with Michelle and Matilda?
^^Yes, quite often. I heard he's an artist and I think he's gay. Forgot his name though. They have been friends for years. There are lots of pap pics with him and M & M.
Thanks 6:05 PM.
No prob! ;)
IUC Exclusive: The Duke was The Queen Of Hollywood

I knew the Duke and he was more gay than anyone I met in Hollywood. In fact, I worked on a film with him and he was bringing young boys in his trailer for sex every day during breaks. Thanks IUC for outing this American legend who’s actually a total fraud.
Gerry T. said on February 13th, 2009 at 5:08 pm
John Wayne and Michael Landon had an affair for six years. Anyone who’s on the inside in Hollywood knows this.
Dan Estabrook, that's his name:

Gossip Girls: "Accompanied by a gal pal, the “Wendy & Lucy” actress held on tight to her little girl’s hand as she hopped through the streets while making a coffee run."

Oops, bad typo!
Whats worse, a gossip site id-ing you as a member of the opposite sex or as the celeb's mother/father?
^^Was that intentional? I hope they meant GUY pal.
how come nobody asks who's the zophtic brunette holding onto Jake's arm in one of the post Uncle Vanya pix?
Link please!
^ ^ ^
zophtig
"link please"
See WDW and IHJ, Im eating supper.
thanks.
Jake and brunette lady
"how come nobody asks who's the zophtic brunette holding onto Jake's arm in one of the post Uncle Vanya pix?"
They look like they're cackling over something good!
Jeez I've never seen Jake have so much LIFE in him since pre-Reeke. Thats like 2 fucking years.
I don't know who the brunette is, obviously someone he is comfortable with probably knows ell. She doesn't look like his PR person, the other brunette lady. Maybe a cousin?
The hat Jake is wearing - he looks like a drowned mouse or like a Russian communist student.
Uncle Vanya premiered 1899. The hat version looks ulterior, like that wore by Lenin in the Winter Palace assault 1917. Is Jake a Sergei Eisenstein's fan?
Heath was pictured reading Maiakovsky's poems while in Prague...he kept that book upside down, possibly knowing the guy was a dirty propagandist.
Drowned mouse?! Fuck!
RIGHT Jakey looks like Lenin! hilarious. I forgive him everything. well, not really.
Oh no I added too much water!
maybe the brunette is the commie aunt.
Lenin & hat
If Jake's a mouse then I got some cheese waiting for him in my trap.
Austin is that you?
My love, you have a great task tonight:
Find where I keep secretly the Red Flag of the Revolution!
Easy.

Why do you suppose Reese didn't go with Jake?
"Why do you suppose Reese didn't go with Jake?"
Dunno but from the way he's smiling, laughing and beaming, Jake looks better off without Reese going with him to anything.
:)
Missing from Jake's costume: the "rubashka" shirt.
He tried to fool us with the white ruffled collar. That's a "no" or a "niet"!
Nyet
Zaftig
You got ulterior right. ;)
X17 has pics of Ryan P with Ava shopping, maybe he has kiddies this week which makes me dread Reeke in NY for a Valentine/engagement/baby bump! photo op. OTOH Jake looked so happy he coud burst in Uncle Vabya pics and Reese wasn't there so that says something.
The General didn't go with Jake to NYC because:
a) He didn't want her to, didn't want to have to perform for the cameras whilst on his mini-vaycay.
b) Maggie and Peter didn't want her around to add tacit complicity to the charade
c) She didn't want to go where she wouldn't be the center of attention
or d) Up from NC for some quality alone time with his SO, Austin certainly didn't want her around
all of the above!
Reese probably hides in the woodworks in NY, I wouldn't be surprised if we see some piccies tomorrow.
People are freaking out about these latest pics - is that how glum he's looked? He looks like he's posing for pics, smiling for cameras - there still something missing in his eyes if you ask me. But he looks reasonably happy, but not like the way people are carrying on. He looks a little tired around the eyes IMO.
Jake Combining Pleasure with Revolution
He look older, that's for sure. And he's been thru hell, don't forget, that is hell ay.
and hell ay's evil minion, the nutcracker.
So did Ryan get himself papped with Ava as a way of saying "see, Reese had no reason to not go to NY as I had the kids, that faker/bitch"?
Jake freezing his ass off in Russia
How are the reviews for Maggie's play? Generally good, bad, mixed?
Maybe he wanted to get away from all the LA craziness and have some sense of normalcy, with his family, as well as attend opening night. He looks like he could use some rest.
Tomorrow: Jake+Reese=Valentine's photo op. You'll see.
Reese can go where ever she damn well pleases, when ever she damn well pleases. That's what the nanny is for, to be there for her kids while she's off being fabulous.
And note, she and Ryan still live in the same town. The kiddos can be with their father on the weekend, on a Tuesday, on any day.
She's not tied down, certainly not by Ava and Deacon. Please don't make her out to be some kind of super mom that denies herself for the sake of the children. She's anything but.
Yes, yes, 8:22, we get it. You want us to be on the look out for pics tomorrow.
Now, mark on your notes that you've delivered the message, planted the seed about Reeke and Valentine's Day so you can get paid for your time spent here on WFT2.
It's still fake, still bearding and definitely still disgustingly pathetic.
We know that 8:23, but we also know what Reese is trying to sell, mother of the year plus world's best girlfriend, so she uses one as an "excuse" when she falls down on the other.
Could someone tell me what 3:30's "MacHeath" reference is about?
Off topic. I looked at the pictures of Maggie and Jake. How can they change who's taller. Sometimes it Jake, then it's Maggie and then they are the same. I'm talking about pictures where they are standing next to each other. Jake has done this with other people, too. He looks 6 foot with some, but then he looks smaller. How tall is he really?
I know it's crazy, but it's annoying me.
They know how to take pictures 12:28. Jake probably slouches when he's near Maggie so that their both in line for maximum effectiveness for the usage of space in the photo.
I don't think Jake is 1.83 m. Maggie is listed as 1.75 m.
I bet Jake's real height is 1.79 m at most.
What do actors John Travolta and Jake Gyllenhaal have in common? They both played movie bubble boys. Each portrayed a young man living in a plastic enclosed environment due to suffering from severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). The Travolta movie was a 1976 made-for-television film and was rated one of the best TV movies of the 1970s. Gyllenhaal's portrayal came in a 2001 movie in which one critic wrote that his "inspired performance helps things immensely." Most Jerry Seinfeld fans remember the infamous "Bubble Boy" episode of that legendary comedy program. It is the 47th and one of the most popular episodes of that series.

WTF?!? Jakey is at least 1.95 m.

Could someone tell me what 3:30's "MacHeath" reference is about?
Mack the Knife or The Ballad of Mack the Knife, originally Die Moritat von Mackie Messer, is a song composed by Kurt Weill with lyrics by Bertolt Brecht for their music drama Die Dreigroschenoper, or, as it is known in English, The Threepenny Opera.
1976 the version translated by Ralph Manheim and John Willett opened on Broadway, later made into a movie version starring Raul Julia as "Mackie". Here is an excerpt:
See the shark with teeth like razors
All can read his open face
And Macheath has got a knife, but
Not in such an obvious place.
This is the version later performed by Sting and Nick Cave. It is also the version performed by Lyle Lovett on the soundtrack of the film Quiz Show (1994) — the same movie features Darin's rendition over the opening credits.
Sounds like our Joker! :)
Yep, Macheath/Mack the Knife was a very bad guy.

My Favorite Ladies Margaret Cho and KD Lang
In the old days I used to see this kid over on Polk Street where her mom and dad ran a bookstore. Used to hang out there never buying anything, so her mother would give me dirty looks. She was a chubby little kid, reminded me of me...
At any rate, grownup Margaret had the recent luscious lesbie luck of working with one of my favorite singers, KD Lang. And oh yes, Margaret, she does look like Jake Gyllenhaal. But I still go for her anyway.
K.D. Lang
Cantara’s Notebook
I used to have a crush on KD. :)
Bloody Hell! I look like a lesbian?!
No, he's a boy, and she's a girl, but they do have a resemblance to each other. Two sides to a coin. ;)
I can never win with these guys. *sighs*
I don't get this entry from Cantara:
At eighteen I was one of the few dozen people in the world working at the unique job of identifying songs on the radio. My employer was ASCAP, and my job helped their composer-members collect royalties on their music. By an insane coincidence, in the same building seven floors above our office, the man I would fall in love with 32 years later and his then-boss (they would marry in 1977 and divorce in 2008) were working at the same time, for Sesame Street. We didn’t meet then, but I’d like to think that he and I shared an elevator at least once.
Is she "in love" with Stephen and married still to her husband? WTF?
KD? More like Anne Frank
Status: In a Relationship
Orientation: Bi

Spidey foe meets his match in Harvard's Hasty Pudding crew
"Spider-Man" villain James Franco got his pudding pot at the Hasty Pudding Man of the Year roast and ceremony last night. As is tradition, the Hasties mocked the "Milk" star for some of his less than stellar performances - yes, "The Wicker Man" came up - and also for his perfectly symmetrical face.
Franco took it all in good humor, as he stood on the stage between Pudding producers Pierce Tria and Charlotte Twaalfhoven. "I can't believe you didn't like Wicker Man," he exclaimed, of the much-maligned remake with Nicolas Cage.
During the roast, the actor was also confronted by the traditional Hasty drag queens, a scythe-wielding character representing the death of his career and a gay cow whose udder he was asked to milk. (The Hasties snuck a comedic bar mitzvah in as well, with Twaalfhoven declaring "You're a man now.") He received his golden pudding pot wearing an eye patch, blonde wig, purple heels and a gold-spangled pineapple-shaped bra, representing his movie, "Pineapple Express." "I've made it," he said.
After the ceremony, the actor said the bar mitzvah was "actually really touching. I'm Jewish, my mother's Jewish, but I wasn't raised Jewish. I guess I wasn't a man until tonight." He said parts of the roast surprised him and were not actually accurate. "I was never in "The X-Files," he said, referring to a joke about him playing X-Files guard number two. He also confessed that he joined his high school drama club to get revenge on his girlfriend at the time, who did a play with another boy. "And I was really jealous," he admitted. So when he was cast as the lead in his first play - and he got to murder his wife in the production - he felt validated. "I learned how cathartic acting could be."
Franco ended his post-roast press conference by kissing his pudding pot ("Kiss the pot?" he asked. "Is that a tradition?") But he admitted it was not his most functional award. "I won a stoner of the year award from High Times magazine," he said, of being honored for his role in "Pineapple Express." He sent it to his parents for safe-keeping. "Unfortunately it cracked in the mail, so they haven't been able to use it."
The actor, who got a tour of Harvard yesterday, was accompanied by his girlfriend and stuck around at the New College Theatre for the Hasty Pudding production of “Acropolis Now,” which opened last night. Of course, he also had an invite to the after-party.
Franco in drag
Stephen G obviously does not take looks into consideration when choosing a woman. Naomi is totally ugly as is this new woman.
He must like being the pretty one.
I guess Jake likes being the pretty one, also. Reese is about rhe ugliest thing going.
LOL
Gosh what must it be like to have an aging hipster narcissistic father whose terrible poetry is being published by a former porn star that looks like a toad.
No wonder Jake gets crushes on men.
"No wonder Jake gets crushes on men."
Hi, Naomi, is that wrong? Are you a homophobe?
Isn't that better than having an ordinary boring father?
Ha! Good question. I would say it doesn't matter much.
What does matter is how good role model Stephen was/is and how much time and love he invested in his boy :)
"Acropolis Now" :D :D
Jake is aging fine, he looked very young in the pics just before these came out - it's the beard(!) that ages him. Maggie is beautiful, Kiki is cute, and noone is put of by Cantara's porn past, it makes her interesting. :)
^^Put off

A girlfriend or a girl friend?
Everyone cares about their parents. Did you crawl out from under a rock? I can't imagine how heartless and soul-less you have to be to disapprove of your own parents enough to label them "losers" and go on with your life without a second thought. You sound like a Reese fan.
Girlfriend as in Franco is fucking her dimwit.

Leonardo & Lukas: Biking Buddies
Helmet head Leonardo DiCaprio continues his effort to stay green, taking his bike for a ride with his BFF, actor Lukas Haas, in New York City on Friday, the day before Valentine’s Day (February 13).
Just a few days ago, Leo was in Berlin, Germany for the Cinema For Peace ceremony. He was awarded the International Green Film Award by former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev. Sitting at the Revolutionary Road star’s table was his mom, two cousins and Lukas.

Hugh Jackman is pulling for Heath Ledger at this year's Academy Awards: "I can't hide the fact that I would really love for that honor to be bestowed upon him," Jackman says, "It would be fitting and I think he deserves it." [People]
^^Aww. I like Jackman, not (only ;)) because he's rooting for Heath.
Vegetarian BI
This actress is B list. Movies all the way. Never done television. Academy Award nominated/winner. Makes a big production about being a vegetarian and animal rights but at the same time sends her assistant out for Burger King at least twice a week to bring her back a Double Whopper. I know. A double? She must puke it all back up right?

Another reason to love Hugh. :)
I seriously doubt Franco is f*cking his girl friend. There have been rumors about him for years.

A Peek Into Ricky Martin's Life As A Single Dad
Ricky Martin is such a woman. Not only does he wear Uggs and fight for world peace, but he's a total sucker for tender moments with his kids.
The Latin pop singer, who calls parenting "the most spiritual experience" of his life, was spotted cradling one of his six month old twins on the dock of his multimillion dollar waterfront home in Miami Beach yesterday (notice he's wearing shorts; commence fuming with envy).
A penny and a smile to anyone who can figure out whether this bundle of bibbed cutenees is Matteo or Valentino, cause I'll be damned if I know the difference. I can't even tell my twin boyfriends apart most of the time!
Check out all 25+ photos of Ricky Martin and one of his twins in the gallery!

Speaking of Fedorawhoras - is the video out yet?
Jake Gyllenhaal, Forest Whitaker, Ron Howard, Samuel L. Jackson, Quincy Jones, Cedric the Entertainer, and Tatyana Ali were just some of the stars who stopped by to make cameos in Jamie Foxx’s new video for “Blame It” featuring T-Pain. Directed by Hype Williams, the video will premiere the week of February 9.

Jake Gyllenhaal whisks Reese Witherspoon away to Egypt amid engagement rumours
While Reese Witherspoon no doubt enjoyed a Valentine's gift or two from Jake Gyllenhaal, the Hollywood actress can look forward to an even more romantic treat. Mandrake hears that the couple, who did not confirm that they were a couple until November, are to be taken on a romantic holiday to Egypt amid rumours that Gyllenhaal may be planning to propose.
"I was asked to organise the trip for Reese Witherspoon and her boyfriend," said Geoffrey Kent, the founder of Abercrombie & Kent, at the opening of the company's private travel office at Harrods. "They will go everywhere by private jet and cram as much as possible in. That means Luxor, the Pyramids and possibly a private viewing of the newly discovered Saqqara mummy. They are going to stay in the best hotels and the idea is that it will be quite an experience."
Sounds like bull to me - PR for the company and Reeke.
That "stalker alert at Ealing Studios" story was bullshit the first time around! LOL
if this is even halfway true I am so out of here, watch my dust.
Egypt? Jesus I thot he would have had it with sand in his crack.
What will I do for entertainment if I can't stomach this saga any more.
Wouldn't be surprised if Reeke got "engaged" as a PR backlash to Ian. Actually, I expect it because Reeke, Disney and PR are pathetic homophobes, Reese is on a mission to one-up Ryan/Abbie and Jake has no backbone.
Why Egypt, why not Space Travels, Jake could be the first private citizen to take a walk in space. Great publicity for the moon movie.
Nobody is paying attention to the Ian BS. No mainstream outlet has picked it up nor any of the major blogs.
Even JJ got pore publicity.

Um okay. Tho since you're "anonymous" how ever will we know you're really gone?
No one is going anywhere!
Egypt. Riding camels, looking at mummys. Very educational. Must be takng the kids.
Yeah right.
Nobody is paying attention to the Ian BS. No mainstream outlet has picked it up nor any of the major blogs.

I have noticed this. You know I wonder if certain blogs and media agents have been warned against running the Ian story in advance.
Will be interesting to see how this progresses. Jake/Reese PR defintely in hyper alert in recent days and it's a safe bet to say cheeky Ian is the cause! ;)
Do I want the 90 pound midget who's a controlling bitch or should I get the nice gay stud who weighs 200?
You know I wonder if certain blogs and media agents have been warned against running the Ian story in advance.
I think if Ian didn't veer off into the Too Sensationalist To Be True area those blogs and media agents might have. He lost a lot of credibility with the Auntie Tooth story. JJ redux.
There is no indicationthat Jake/Reese PR has been in hyper alert in recent days. Reese hasn't been papped all week I think and Jake has been in NY.
Ian, isn't cheeky, he is a tool. I think the reason why it has been ignored is because the blogs have been through this before with JJ.
Ian has used the TT items, old news. The stuff he added sounded made up after he realized he wasn't getting the attention he thought.
No one is stupid enough to run with the Ian crap because its the same old stuff. Unless he produces people who are willing to go totally public with verifiably facts, or can produce photos of Jake kissing men, no one is going to pay attention.
I doubt Jake's PR is that worried. Jake did go to New York by himself. PR didn't think it would work against their cause to not have Reese there.
They may be going to Egypt; they may not. I don't understand why some of you want to make such a fuss.
This relationship will continue until one or both of the parties decide to end it. Or maybe they will marry.
Again, so what? It's not your life. I am a gossip hound. I enjoy it for what it is.
I think if Ian didn't veer off into the Too Sensationalist To Be True area those blogs and media agents might have. He lost a lot of credibility with the Auntie Tooth story. JJ redux.
^^ No, Ian did not get someone to actually speak up about their dealings with Jake. Someone with a name (?) atached. No named person to validate the hook ups means back at square one. It's Simple. And he shouted loud as if he was gonna have a named person for statements or comments. He did not, or at least has not yet. I'm not stupid and I know someone, anyone, especially if they are in the entertainment industry, speaking out would be considered treason to some degree.
"Again, so what? It's not your life. I am a gossip hound. I enjoy it for what it is."
Do I make comments about your stupid life? Kindly refrain from making comments about my stupid life.
Something I have always wondered. If Austin and Jake are still together, has anyone heard any info. as to why Austin stays. I understand what Reese and Jake may get from the bearding, but I don't understand Austin.
Does he have no pride or backbone? Love does not mean putting up with being in the shadows or treated like a convience. You can love someone and not put up with their behavior.
So, what is Austin getting out of this? We know it's not fidelity or loyalty. At this point, I am not sure it's even love, at least not from Jake's end (although Jake may hang on just because it's easier to do so than to find a steady, stable outlet for sex).
7:14 PM, I agree. If Jake is gay and bearding with her, he won't come out anytime soon. Even if they break, he'll find another beard. He'll probably come out when he's old and grey.
If he's bi and indeed dating Reese, they'll maybe marry and have kids later on in the relationship.
I think in a couple of years most of our interest in him will vanish and some of us will move on to the next "it boy" who's ambigous with his sexuality, whether because he really has something to hide, or to make himself more mysterious or interesting. No one here can know for sure what Jake's intentions were in this regard.
I take TC's stories with a grain of salt. The only thing I believe is that Jake and Austin were probably a couple, but I don't think it's still going on.
If Austin and Jake are still together, has anyone heard any info. as to why Austin stays.
Why Austin wouldn't stay? He knows what's like to be gay and closeted in Hollywood.
I think if Ian didn't veer off into the Too Sensationalist To Be True area those blogs and media agents might have. He lost a lot of credibility with the Auntie Tooth story. JJ redux.
The main trouble I had with this was Auntie Tile using the words "big sin". I'm doubting anyone in Jake's supposedlymiddle-class family talks like a complete hillbilly regardless of what they think of him.
Perhaps Ian's vouching on the reluctance of the main bigwig media types to get involved - in order to say what he likes. Maybe some of it is true. Will be interesting to see what unfolds.
IHJ has pics of Jake arriving at LAX on 2/13 from NYC. As predicted Jake, the most pussy whipped gay man in America, hopped on the first flight back to LA after opening night. That means we will probably get an entire weekend of Reeke romantic Valentine's photo ops. Gag.
There is no indicationthat Jake/Reese PR has been in hyper alert in recent days. Reese hasn't been papped all week I think and Jake has been in NY.
So you obviously missed
1) the rushed out pregnancy pictures and rumor of Reese and Jake the day AFTER Ian went public.
2) The Reese and Jake buy London lovenest story and pictures, again in the last few days.
3) Then, incredibly, you missed the LINKED article someones linked here, which says Reese and Jake are going to Egypt, whereon he'll propose yet again (how many times is this now?), camels, mummies, etc. And that even creepier, someone seems to KNOW he'll propose. Do you think the only way in reality someone knows this to print it is f Jake has said "tell the press I'm proposing"?
Just how in tune are you?
They've been shitting bricks for days.
Ian, isn't cheeky, he is a tool. I think the reason why it has been ignored is because the blogs have been through this before with JJ.
I'm not gettig into semantics with you. Don't like, keep out. Do yourself a favor and log off if it doesn't suit. It's no skin off my skinny.

February 13 - Jake arriving at LAX airport (from NYC)
I think in a couple of years most of our interest in him will vanish and some of us will move on to the next "it boy" who's ambigous with his sexuality, whether because he really has something to hide, or to make himself more mysterious or interesting.
Count me out. I was in as a Jake fan. I'm not the kind of person that hops from star to star looking for sexualities to latch onto.
I was a fan of Jake's work from the start and the sexuality angle is now so integral to everything he is and does that even as a fan you have to be either really naive or never read the internet to avoid all of these debates. I'll always remain somewhat of a fan.
The main trouble I had with this was Auntie Tile using the words "big sin".
No, that rings perfectly true. She means that *bearding* is a "big sin," and that's exactly how most of us feel as well.
Are most posters here on WFT2 because they are Jake's fans and just curious about this Toothy stories in connection to him, but don't really give a shit whether he's straight, bi, gay and would be fans and support his movies either way?
I am.
I'm a fan because there is something very powerful about him, even if he's been a jerk. It has been completely absent since Piggybackgate, but we got another glimpse of it with his Mack the Knife walk this week.
I wish him all the best. I think he's hurting himself with the bearding, and I wish he would stop, but as has been noted, it's his choice to make and not mine.
So I will continue to watch and enjoy here with likeminded souls and hope for the best. :)
Jake arriving at LAX airport (from NYC)
Big question mark above Jake's head :)
???
"whereon he'll propose yet again (how many times is this now?)"
What happened to the wedding already planned for last December? Didn't it get postponed to this summer? If they're getting married this summer why is he proposing?!
"Big question mark above Jake's head:
LMAO. But I hope its not bad karma, look at the other sign next to his head: Terminal.
He also looks pensive. The question mark is quite appropriate IMO.
3 options for me.
1: Gay Jake: I should stop this showmance with Reese and maybe come out of the closet or at least find a beard who doesn't make me looke wimpy. Leo DiCap did it right with his models.
2: Bi Jake: I should break up with Reese and hook up with Michelle Williams. She's prettier, nicer and I like her kid more than Reese's.
3: I'm reading too much into his facial expression and he's just tired.

5.Bearding Jake: Back to LA and the ol ball and chain
Ok, so Jake will propose to a mummy?
I am curious about the Austin angle too. I understand that he knows what it's like to gay and closeted, but that doesn't quite explain why he puts up with the blatant bearding.
If Jake does get married, will Austin continues to stick around?
Is this really about love or dependance?
6. Daddy Jake: A stranger's vomiting smelly baby shrieking next to me the whole trip and now I'm going home to my own colic poopy bundle of joy
that doesn't quite explain why he puts up with the blatant bearding
If Jake and Austin are still together then Jake is bearding for both of them.
Instead of dreading the verminous shower of pro-Reeke lies, staged photoshoots, rumors and manipulation that will ubdoubtably descend upon us in a matter of hours, I suggest that you turn to HereTV (on demand) and watch the documentary called 'Here Together'. It's a wonderful series of interviews with *real* stable, out, gay couples describing how they met and fell in love. I can't imagine a better spiritual antidote to the pathological charade of Reeke than an unabashed display of true love between open gays and lesbians.
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
Happy Valentine's Day :)
Happy Valentines to all yoo guise too! :)
If Reeke is such a horror to some of you, why do you fixate on it? Why do you pay any attention to it all? There are so many out, proud examples, why so much bile about Reese and Jake?
It's interesting gossip, but I don't understand the personal attachment. Why the venom about people who haven't done something to you personally?
I reserve my hate for people who have harmed me or mine directly.
Happy Valentines to all yoo guise too! :)
Oooh I know who that particular patois belongs to.
Why would Jake go all the way back to LA if he was going to Egypt for a Valentines trip?
particular patois
;-) :-* :-*
Why would Jake use a travel agency in London to organize a trip to Egypt. And we know they never "lived" in Notting Hill. They stayed there what, about 10 days off and on. The story does appear to be designed to one up someone. If true, the lavishness described does not fit in with the current political environment. Jake was seen drinking half price cocktails in NY, then he spends money on private jets. Sounds like a Disney arranged response to the latest rumors and has a Confessions of a shopoholic tinge to it. I do wonder if he will finally wear a new pair of jeans for the occassion. Whatever, the Jake is gay will never go away because where there is smoke there is fire.
Jake is not bearding for "both of them" if he is still with Austin, which I think he is. That doesn't even make any sense. Are you saying people are going to think Austin is straight because Jake has a beard? They're not joined at the hip. Jake is bearding because he thinks he needs to do it to be a big star, and because we all know Disney needs a straight star for PoP.
Austin is working in television and in queer friendly movies like Prayers for Bobbie and The Informers, he could probably come out if not for Jake.

And 10:05, every time Jake steps out with his beard he hurts me and everyone else who is gay by telling us we're second class citizens and that being gay is bad. So yes, I'm going to call them on their homophobic behavior. If you don't like it start your own blog.
Egypt is a perfect match for Reeke isn't it. Consider this:
The bearding is set up like a pyramid scheme. An initial large investment from TPTB, a flimsy or non-existent product, and a highly detailed and perfected glossy sales pitch. It sounds good, people eat it up and it trickles down to the lowest masses. The only ones who reap the big profits are TPTB. And in a pyramid, if you want to get to the bottom of it there's mazes designed to confuse you, mysterious guards and lots and lots of hieroglyphics.
The landscape that surrounds and supports the pyramid is a "relationship" that's shiftier than sand and just as dry and dead, with no solid definition or visible life form within. Them going to Egypt is perfect. Pyramids, death and offering treasures to the gods in hope of a better future life, that's bearding and Reeke.
Well, Hugh should rest easy. I don't see why Heath won't win the best supporting actor oscar. he's won everything else. plus, since when does peter wear jake's clothes? did he steal jake's hat? memo to them both, fedoras are still mutherfrickin' ugly.
I agree, Egypt seems like an unusual choice, unless it's to promote PoP in some way? They can't go to Persia. Aside from the offensive bearding, I just don't find them appealing as a couple; she's dishwatery, and dilutes all his sexiness whenever he's near her. The disparity in their height offends my ascetic sensibilities too - lol - they are a mismatch physically, to me. And when they drag the kids along - don't even go there. Most HW leading men are married; but the don't have such high profile wives or gfs. They want to cram Reeke down the public's throats. Never have I seen so many photo ops, but then again I never really followed gossip much, and now I know why. But aside from that, I agree with the poster who said that left to his own devices, he seems to be socially and politically aware, not someone who flaunts his privilege, but as soon as Reese & TPTB get involved, out come the private jets, the lavishness, the caste system, the status conciousness, and I guess they think people like to see movie stars behaving like haughty movie stars, but I don't. I much prefer stars like Leo, who convey somewhat of a realism, or people who have little or no use for the HW system. If Leo is gay and feels he must play along with the HW game, the required swimsuit model is always on a long leash. We all know Jake is on a short leash. So, depending on what kind of movie Jake is in, I may see it, or I may not, depending on the subject matter.
sorry, ascetic should be aethetic. :)
ITA about the height difference between them. I don't know why, but if really bothers me, and it's enough in of itself to make me want to lose my dinner. At least with Kiki they seemed well-matched physically. I know a lot of people don't like her, but I thought they made a cute couple, real or not.
12:29, you don't speak for everyone who is gay, just some of the ones who may be obsessed with Jake. Jake is not telling you anything about your life. If you allow someone else's life choices to define you, that says more about your weakness, than his.
If Jake's "bearding," then he's responding to homophobia. Do you really think that attacking him is going to change the nature of the homophobia to which he is responding?
The Informers is a queer friendly movie? Do you actually know anything about this film?
Austin is an adult, not a child. Jake can't make him do anything. Since he is a C list actor (at best) he is in a great position to come out. And if he came out, we could really test whether being out will adversely affect an actor's ability to become a leading man.
So far, no out actor has reached leading man, A list film status. Let's see Austin go for it. Especially since so many here seem to think he's got what it takes.
All those Scientologists and stars in their 40s put themselves on short leashes by marrying or heavy-duty bearding. But the younger stars haven't gone to that extreme, that's just another reason why Reeke is so disturbing. It's not only HW not catching up to the fact it is 2009, it's HW acting like it's 1989.
Yes, they did seem well matched - and their pics always seemed to convey how much they enjoyed being with each other, especially Jake. I think he really cared for Kiki. I have never yet seen Reese take Jake's arm and walk with him, like we saw him do with the woman at the Uncle Vanya afterparty. What woman would not want to take his arm and walk with him? If they really are a couple, she doesn't give off a lot of warmth.
I just found it so interesting today to read that at an important honor for Leo, who was there to support him, His mom and family members of course, but also Lukas. Bar was off to parts unknown. :)
As a contrast, supermodel Giselle Bundchen has no problem donning an apron, pulling her hair back into a ponytail, and serving dinner to the homeless and less fortunate at Christmastime, and seems to support Tom Brady, always at his side. Makes you go hmmmm . . .
Believe me, I don't let Jake define my life. But if I want to call him an asshole for bearding and telling gay people they're second class citizens, well, last time I checked I still had the freedom to do that in this country. And I do believe that people like Jake are part of the problem, and as long as they let themselves be forced into homophobic behavior things will never change in HW. If he did something like what Leo is doing I'd still be unhappy, but I wouldn't be pissed the way I am with Reeke being shoved on us 24/7, and even as we speak I'm sure Reeke photos are being rushed to Just Jared for tomorrow's viewing.
The level of bearding by Jake makes Jake just as homophobic as anyone else in HW. Jake is not a victim, he's a perpetrator. For me it's not that much different than someone saying "I was just following orders" as an excuse for any other hate-based behavior, including, if you want to take it to an extreme example, what happened in Nazi Germany. I sure wouldn't want my rights and life in Jake's hands, because I'm pretty sure he'd throw all gay people under the bus if that is what it takes for him to be a "star".
What event are you talking about 1:43?
Jake has already thrown his BBM fans under the bus. There are days when I wish he'd never been in that movie because his bearding has really ruined it for me, I can't look at BBM the same way.
1:59, this one:
Just a few days ago, Leo was in Berlin, Germany for the Cinema For Peace ceremony. He was awarded the International Green Film Award by former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev. Sitting at the Revolutionary Road star’s table was his mom, two cousins and Lukas.
It's important to work with other countries like this to bring awareness about global warming. I know that Jake is involved with environmental causes, but having to take a private jet and stay at lavish hotels that consume too much water in a desert environment because Reese can't rought it on a globetrek kinda negates it. :(

Oh really? And why not Jake??
The Pyramid scheme analogy was very clever. Dead on.
Notice how Jake looks like death returning to LA and his sham life. No more smiles for him.
No one can help how tall/short they are. What bothers me about Reese is how "boxed in" and inhibited she comes off as in movies and IRL in her body movements. I don't know why she is an actress. She doesn't come off as a looser, creative type, more of a staunch business person. I've seen her movies and she's nothing great. its always the same screechy clipped voice, its always Reese I see on screen not the character. She really should have been a CEO. "Artist" is not the impression she gives off. I think that's why its laughable to everyone when she tries to dress bohemian or look grungey or younger with the long messy hair, the look just doesn't fit her persona and people can sense that it's phony.
Thats what bothers me about her and Jake. To me most couples who are opposites like taller/shorter, thin/not thin, different ethnicity's, go together really good, you can feel it, they meld and complement each other, they are great to look at. But Jake and Reese, no way, they're like a tuna milkshake. Just a really bad combination together and nothing will ever make it palatable.
And I suppose someone held a gun to Jake's head and forced him to kiss Reese at the Lakers game so that ABC/Disney could put them on the top of their best kiss list. Last time I looked in the dictionary, getting $7 million dollars to lie was not one of the definitions of a victim. Lying homophobic scum maybe....

That should be what he is going would fit under the definition of lying homophobic scum.
Other than that grandstanding kiss, there are very little of the smaller gestures that a real couple, or even affectionate friends, would make. Just contrast the pics with Maggie and Peter - he's even got more chemistry with an unknown woman, or at least I didn't recognize her. Maybe you are right, anon. 2:17.

All part of the Disney plan.
Reese: We HAD to kiss
I"m really sorry Ian is turning out to be such a joke. I was really hoping he'd out Jake's sorry ass.
Of course it's all part of the plan, that's my point. Getting paid more bucks for one movie than most people could ever make in ten lifetimes does not make Jake a "victim" of HW's homophobia. It makes him not only a willing participant, but also a pusher.
We'll see what happens -
So maybe Reese is a private, non-demonstrative person, nothing wrong with that, but that wasn't how I saw Jake - but it just makes me now think he's not what he appeared to be either either. Plus, they both smirk and behave like snobby prima donnas in photos, which is offputtiing. They say couples are influenced by each others' personalities - if so, Jake's lovely one is disappearing. Maybe that was why they were at the doctors - preparing for a trip. Maybe they'll both be floating down de-nile for the academy awards. :)
I'd rather see Reeke's death from denial.
2:17 WORD!
Tuna milkshake, a good one. why Ive been walkin around with a barf bag for the past year.
Why would Jake use a travel agency in London to organize a trip to Egypt. And we know they never "lived" in Notting Hill. They stayed there what, about 10 days off and on. The story does appear to be designed to one up someone.
Another really good point someone raised was that the story had to be fake simply because of the proximity of the other buildings.
No star would spend that much on a pad in which they had to keep curtains closed 24/7 for fear of being papped, stalked, targeted or shot at - or just plain SEEN with so many surrounding buildings on the same eye level.
You don't pay that amount of money never to see the sky and look at the inside of curtains because you can't open them. You choose something in a place where you have the freedom and privacy that kind of money brings.
So yes, beards aside, the story is almost guaranteed to be total baloney just on those grounds.
But it was rushed out regardless.
Btw, I was referring to the recent flat buying story with white interior pictures in London that cropped up last week.
Poster 8:08
People wondere why some of us continue to hang on to this sorry saga when there are happy tales abounding elsewhere -
I dont know, but a flash of red silk and a sight of that crotch forward swagger, and Im back the game. Can't help it.

HEATH AN OSCAR LOCK
WE hate to ruin the suspense over the Academy Awards next Sunday night, but a lot of nominees needn't bother preparing an acceptance speech. Oddsmaker Danny Sheridan says three of the top six categories are locks. Heath Ledger is 1:25 to win Best Supporting Actor. The other four con tenders, as a field, are 15:1. "Slumdog Millionaire" is 1:12 to win Best Picture, trailed by "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" at 5:1. And "Slumdog" director Danny Boyle is a lock for Best Director at 1:10. Kate Winslet ("The Reader") is favored for Best Actress 1:2 over Meryl Streep ("Doubt"), who's 3:1. The closest race is Best Actor, with Mickey Rourke ("The Wres tler") a 5:7 favorite to beat Sean Penn ("Milk") at 7:5. Forget Brad Pitt ("The Curious Case of Benjamin Button") and Angelina Jolie ("The Changeling"). Says Sheridan: "A lot of voters are not too fond of Pitt and Jolie."
Tuna Milkshake really describes Reeke and their sexual non-chemistry doesn't it. Reese is a cold tuna fish and Jake with his handjobs.... "milkshake."
So maybe Reese is a private, non-demonstrative person, nothing wrong with that, but that wasn't how I saw Jake - but it just makes me now think he's not what he appeared to be either.
What kind of logic is that - Jake was faking all those years before Reeke?
Remember "Brothers" screening and Jake hugging his manager (blonde lady)?
At least they won't be at the Academy Award if they're sailing down the Nile - if couldn't say two words about Heath in a year, but could for David Fincher, I hate to think of him being at a place where Heath will be honored. I think the guy is very status conscious and ambitious now. And the spitting, kicking, nearly running people over. Lovely.
