Bearding isn't Cool
Adam Lambert on making his sexuality public:
There are so many old-fashioned ways of looking at things, and if we want to be a progressive society, we have to start thinking in a different way. There's the old industry idea that you should just make sexuality a non-issue, just say your private life's your private life, and not talk about it. But that's bullshit, because private lives don't exist anymore for celebrities: they just don't.
I don't want to be looking over my shoulder all the time, thinking I have to hide, being scared of being found out, putting on a front, having a beard, going down the red carpet with some chick who is posing as my girlfriend.
That's not cool, that's not being a rock star. I can't do that.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 1378 Newer› Newest»David Bowie. Mick Jagger. Steven Tyler. Run through a list of rock stars, and you'll find plenty of ambiguous sexuality, theatrical flamboyance, machismo combined with mystery.
Now, hoping to enter the pantheon, comes Adam Lambert, "American Idol" runner-up, wannabe rock star, and - as of last week - openly gay man.
When Lambert, 27, the überconfident "Idol" contestant with the painted nails and wailing high notes, came out to mainstream audiences in Rolling Stone magazine, he was joining a tradition of aggressive androgyny that's as old as rock 'n' roll itself. He was also breaking new ground: ending the mystery about his sexuality at the start of his rock career.
And the way he did it - both brazenly and playfully, posing on the cover with a come-hither stare and a snake running up his leg - represents a different sort of trajectory for a rock star. Rather than coming out midcareer, after gaining a measure of public support, Lambert is asking audiences to accept him first, and make him a star afterward.
"There is something very contemporary about it - the fact that he is speaking openly about his sexuality, defusing it at a very early point in his career, making his calculation that he is going to be able to be a big success," said Tavia Nyong'o, a professor of performance studies at New York University who studies race and sexuality in the arts. "He's doing something very new and uncharted in pop culture."
Among devoted "American Idol" fans, Lambert's sexuality was an open secret, fueled by photos circulating on the Internet.
Openly gay men are common in certain musical niches, from dance pop to cabaret to confessional singer-songwriters. In American culture as a whole, gay artists have gained mainstream acceptance, led by sitcoms such as "Will and Grace" and culturally-safe figures like Ellen DeGeneres.
But in rock it's still rare, if not impossible, to find a mainstream star who has ever come out as a gay man - or has discussed his sexuality as explicitly as Lambert does in Rolling Stone.
Even the late Queen frontman Freddie Mercury - who shared Lambert's large vocal range and theatrical performance style - tried hard to keep his sex life private, or at least mysterious, said Freya Jarman-Ivens, a lecturer in music at the University of Liverpool and the editor of "Oh Boy! Masculinities and Popular Music."
When asked with whom he sleeps, Mercury, Jarman-Ivens noted, once famously answered, "girls, boys, and cats."
That was long ago, before political struggles and evolving mores made coming out more politically and socially acceptable.
Since then, many musicians have done so, with varying degrees of reluctance. Elton John first claimed to be bisexual before later coming out as gay. George Michael spent years cultivating a beefcake image and revealed his sexuality after a public sex scandal. Judas Priest lead vocalist Rob Halford didn't come out until more than 20 years after his band was founded. Even "American Idol" contestant Clay Aiken, the runner-up in the competition's second season, didn't declare that he was gay until years after the show had ended.
I love that straight L.A. Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa is an outspoken gay rights proponent. He's even going to be in the L.A. Pride Parade. FYI also another (straight) gay rights big supporter (but proboly not in the Parade) is the L.A.P.D Police Chief Bratton. His sister is gay and got married and he was all over it. He also donates money to gay causes. Back in the beginning Lohan-Ronson days, he said he was glad Lindsay Lohan went gay and is happy and finally settling down (lol).
And many of today's successful openly gay pop stars, who fit the Aiken/Elton John mold, carry themselves quite differently from blustery rock stars, Jarman-Ivens said.
"They're never alpha-male types," she said. "I think it's because they're calling to a young female audience. They have to walk a fine line culturally speaking, between being very attractive to the female audience and not being threatening."
In his Rolling Stone interview, and on "Idol" itself, Lambert has made it clear that his loyalties lie with harder-edged rock. In the "Idol" finale, he strutted across the stage with KISS in platform shoes, looking as comfortable as he ever did on the show. And his persona has appealed to older female fans, including the self-declared "cougars" who screamingly supported Lambert's "Idol" run.
"There's always been something very interesting and sexy about a man who can rock eyeliner and heels and is also a brilliantly talented artist," said Rosie Lopez, vice president of Tommy Boy Records, which recently signed "American Idol" season six runner-up Blake Lewis.
Now that Lambert has come out, she said, he'll need to prove he can move past the politics of his declaration and be judged not as a spokesman, but an artist. To a nation that's fixated on identity, that could be a challenge, she said.
During Lambert's "Idol" run, some gay men considered his flamboyance grating and unrepresentative, Nyong'o said. And in Rolling Stone, Lambert says he isn't interested in serving as a spokesman for gay rights. The fact that he chose the rock magazine for his announcement, Nyong'o said, proves that he wants to distance himself from politics and culture, to be considered a musician first.
In the magazine, Lambert seems to send a dual message. On one hand, he looks more dangerous than ever, talking openly about sex and drug use. Yet he still presents himself as a nice guy beneath the makeup who marvels at being able to "play dress-up for a living."
On the popular "Idol" fansite www.mjsbigblog.com, reactions were decidedly mixed - though focused much more on Lambert's recreational drug use than his sexuality. Some commenters chastised him for being a poor role model. Others praised him for his honesty.
But few of Lambert's ardent fans seemed surprised by his homosexuality, or wavered in their support, said MJ Santilli, who runs the site. Many female fans still expressed hope that he wasn't beyond their reach.
"They just adore him," she said.
But she also suspects that, given his image, Lambert won't get much radio play on pure rock stations -- which is why she predicts that 19 Recordings, which signed Lambert to a record deal with RCA, will steer him away from Bowie-style glam rock and toward a safer brand of pop.
"He'll be a rock star the way Pink is a rock star," she said. "He'll do pop songs with a rock edge."
Whatever sort of music he puts out, Lambert has a head-start on success. He has built up a sizable fan base on the most mainstream musical platform this country has to offer: nearly 30 million viewers every week and a track record of alumni with top-selling albums. And his fans could well be more interested in his music than his sexuality.
"If every conversation is about that," Lopez says, "I think the fans are going to be like, "All right now, shut up, play a song.'"

:29; Long history? JW posted some pics of Jake and his father in May of '06 on their blog, some were posted on IHJ as well. Cunty found out and threatned legal action. they removed them and that's how cunty weaseled her way into Jake's fandom.
Picturegate, babygate, poetry readings, cunty trashing Dc, WTF,etc. Her rambling posts her fake inside info, her trashinf of GB, IHJ and WDW because they ignore her, etc.
The funny thing is the posters on this site and OMG don't ignore her.
I think the "long history" is more that a lot of posters here se themselves in Cunty and identifify with her: obsessive, stalkish, projecting,nutty, middle-aged, personal and professional failures, pretending to kow people or what they think but reall don't, attention whores who think they matter.

You're a billion shades of crazy and then some. You're so eager to impress, so lacking in humnour or the ability to see a sideswipe that means nothing and belittle everyone else you don't even see it. People like you barely know when they're being played above all the righteous indignation.
You come on here calling people obsessive stalkers and fat and middle-aged while in the same statment reeling off a veritable lifeswork stalkerthon of Jake and related factoids, half of whom I've never heard of. Babygate? Picturegate?
And...WHO'S the nutcase again?
Dude, you got too much hair on your top lip, girl. Go back to guzzling cheetos at the check-out counter.
Ouch.
"Back in the beginning Lohan-Ronson days, he [L.A.P.D Police Chief Bratton] said he was glad Lindsay Lohan went gay and is happy and finally settling down (lol)."
LOL indeed :)
Thank God for gay-friendly police!
"Elton John first claimed to be bisexual before later coming out as gay."
I didn't know that, I presume Elton wanted to protect his ex-wife's honour.
Let me say this one more time. Cuntera has no clue as to what Jakes's sexuality is. Trust.
4:02
Whenever you write: Trust.
I don't.
If you have to tell me to trust you, I never will.
That said, I have no idea what she knows or doesn't. She seems unstable. I would believe my dead cat before I believed her (or you).
What was funny was that at the time it was only speculation about Lindsay and of all people she gets outed by the LAPD Police Chief. And he said it as though in his police/social circle, it was fact/common knowledge (I doubt he reads gossip sites) but that he slipped up. Which kind of confirms that the police are fully aware of closeted gay celebs but they support/protect them by not outing them. Hence the hush-hush of TT in the parking lot. And of course there are gay cops. Do any of you remember pics about 2 years ago (in IHJ) of Jake outside at an L.A. police station talking to about 3 cops? Everyone was serious with poker faces, even Jake, except for one goodlooking gayish-faced cop who was absolutely giddy wearing his biggest smile and couldn't take his eyes off him. One of us here has to join the LAPD and get all the HW gay and Toothy dirt!
3:42: Pot meet kettle. Everyone here knows cunty's history with Jake's fandom, don't play dumb. It was discussed on IHJ, JW, DC and WTF.
She is so similar to what's left of Jake's online fandom it's not even funny.
That's the real "fascination". Sad, sick and really pathetic.
Hey PR you told me you wanted me to beard and ride it out with Reese but when is it suppose to start? For three long years I've been waiting for you to bring me Reese Rideout to hang with and all that shows up is the midget.
Gah, that Austrian ad is absolutely gorgeous. :)

Maggie Gyllenhaal is in Paris to publicise Sherry Baby, which, rather surprisingly (and rather slowly - even for a Gyllenhaal film), had its French premiere this week. And yes! You've guessed it - hot on the tweets of Jake being in London, twitters are now tweeting that Jake has followed Maggie to Paris and he too is now in the city of lights!
Paris twitter
8:06: Jake, ITA. :)
"Which kind of confirms that the police are fully aware of closeted gay celebs but they support/protect them by not outing them."
Duh!
Cut the crap, 4:51 PM.
Why shouldn't we discuss Cuntara and her Gyllenhaals connection? Why is it bothering you?
I love the imagery and message of that Austrian campaign - intimacy in a deeply loving relationship with another human being is as close to Heaven as we're ever gonna get, here on Earth. And yeah, I think God approves. :)
"Cut the crap, 4:51 PM.
Why shouldn't we discuss Cuntara and her Gyllenhaals connection? Why is it bothering you?"
Yeah 4:51, why do you need not to discuss this? Why do you feel threatened by this discussion. :D :D :D
Ever notice how Jake is away and absent whenever there's a hometown gay event going on, like the Prop 8 vote/repeal rallies and the LA Pride Festival today?
Allowing for time and aging, (and maybe botox, contacts and a nose job lol) does anyone else think Chaz (Chastity) Bono's gf Jennifer might be the same girl papped with Jake, KD and Sam Ronson when they were at the BH Hotel pool or when Jake was in a lounge chair while Atticus was sleeping on his lap? I do, I think she was Sam's or KD's gf at that time.

"You've guessed it - hot on the tweets of Jake being in London, twitters are now tweeting that Jake has followed Maggie to Paris and he too is now in the city of lights! "
If Jake is in Paris today, what happens to the post from the person yesterday that gave a "heads up" that Jake was in TN and to expect pics of Jake with the in-laws and that someone Tweeted that they saw Jake at Bonnaroo. If he was in TN yesterday how could he be in Paris today and have in London during the week? The jet lag would kill me and he must really have a lot of money to waste on buying all those plane tickets. So, which one is the truth? Jake in Paris or Jake in Tennesse? Running from the Beard or doing photo ops with the future in-laws? I hope it's running from the Chin in Paris with Maggie.

Wow now I'm hungry!
The "Monsanto BT corn" seed, prevalent on the American menus, is registered as an insecticide. (Because it's "Round up"-ready.) For those who don't know, "Round up" is the world best selling weed and insect killer.
"Arte" channel (French-German), which doesn't broadcast in the US, did a film about that:

Not even close. The girl you're thinking of is longtime friend of KD and Nicole Richie and former PA to Jake on BBM. Her name is Liat Baruch.
To the poster here who said that a celeb announcing in a gossip site like Just Jared that they have Twitter is the only way to make sure it's real, uh no. Here's info on Twitter's Verified Accounts.
Just Jared announcement was an example, no one claimed it's the only way to make sure that celebrity twitter account is real.
"Here's info on Twitter's Verified Accounts."
Good, now we KNOW that all RW twitter accounts are fake.
http://twitter.com/matthewkfrost
Not verified :)
"Just Jared announcement was an example, no one claimed it's the only way to make sure that celebrity twitter account is real."
Yes that poster did. When asked how celeb Twitter accounts can be proved real the poster gave a Hugh Jackman JJ link, only. If they had known about the Twitter Verification section they would have given the info too, but they didn't.
It was an example how twitter account can be proved real.
"If Jake is in Paris today, what happens to the post from the person yesterday that gave a "heads up" that Jake was in TN"
One thing is certain - twitter is the easiest way to post fake sightings :)
What's funny about the RW "r_witherspoon" twitter account was that it was closed SO SOON after being discussed here. Coincidence, no. PR/Reese reads WFT2. Btw it cropped up again, as "laurareese" let's see how long this one takes to close. Shall we start a debate about the "laurareese" Twitter account so it gets the attention of PR?!
Ah 4:46, bitter much about not knowing about the Twitter Verified Accounts?
4:49 AM, you can't be serious :)
"Shall we start a debate about the "laurareese" Twitter account so it gets the attention of PR?!"
Nah, let the fakers have their fun.

I can believe that.

SUPER SALARIES OF LA AGENTS
A CONFIDENTIAL memo leaked from inside one of Hollywood's top talent shops has shed light on just how much some of the industry's leading agents rake in.
The memo, which appears to be written by William Morris CFO Irv Weintraub and was obtained by Hollywood news site The Wrap, shows the personal salaries and stock apportioning of the agency's top agents, executives and board members from 2007. William Morris was recently acquired by Endeavor, run by uber-agent Ari Emanuel.
According to the memo -- faxed from John Fogelman, who co-heads the agency's movie department -- Jim Wiatt, the William Morris head who was unceremoniously pushed out after the merger, made $7 million in 2007, while president Dave Wirtschafter, who serves as co-chief executive of the new firm along with Emanuel and Patrick Whitesell, took in $6 million. Old-timer Norman Brokaw took in $4.25 million.
"While there's plenty of gossip about who makes how much at the talent agencies, these are all privately owned companies, and these numbers never become public," Web site editor Sharon Waxman tells Page Six. "I'm guessing that more than a few of William Morris' clients are scrutinizing this memo and thinking about whether their representatives are worth what they're paid."
The memo is important, adds Waxman, because "actors should never be clued in to the fact that their agents . . . make a whole helluva lot more money than they do."
William Morris, once the most powerful agency in the business, has lost ground of late to CAA and ICM. Wiatt sought out the merger in an attempt to keep the shop afloat in uncertain economic times, but he drew criticism from within his own ranks for his handling of the move, which led to more than 100 layoffs. A rep for WME did not return our call.

They've been working on separate projects, but newlyweds Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Skarsgaard have been enjoying time together in Paris – and even made time for their extended family. While Gyllenhaal rushed off for interviews about her 2006 film SherryBaby, she entrusted daughter Ramona to mom Naomi, who babysat. Meanwhile, Skarsgaard spent the afternoon lunching with his brother-in-law, Jake.
It give me hope to hear that Jake has been spending time with his family away from the Chin. Maybe he is slowly starting to pull away from Reeke. That would be great news.
That would be great news and I wish I could be so optimistic.
Avon lady needs promotion and, as we saw last weekend, Jake still has the job.

Gemma Arterton has apparently revealed that she is engaged. The Bond girl told friends about the proposal during the Download Festival in Donington Park, Leicestershire. "Gemma seemed really excited and was sharing the good news with people and telling them how over the moon she was," a source told The Sun.
According to the paper, Gemma's boyfriend - now fiance - proposed at the fest but she's keeping the identity of the lucky man a mystery. The eyewitness added: "He was there with her and they seemed smitten with each other. He looked like he'd make a good James Bond with his tall, dark and handsome looks."
The actress, who stars in the upcoming blockbuster Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time with Jake Gyllenhaal, broke up with stuntman Eduardo Munoz last December.

After Elton, Ask the Flying Monkey! (June 14, 2009)
Q: I was thinking about Pamela Anderson and how her major claims to fame are Baywatch and her sex tape with Tommy Lee. So my question is: since there are so many straight celebrity sex tapes, are there any legitimate gay or bisexual celebrity sex tapes floating around? – Kitty, Knoxville, TV
A: Since you wrote this question, Kitty, photos from a supposed gay celebrity sex tape have been released, and it strikes me as a perfect opportunity for us GLBT people to prove we are better than straight people in at least one respect: unlike what straight people did to Anderson, we don't have to tear down this celebrity, who has done incredible work for GLBT visibility, in an orgy of breathless voyeurism and creepy schadenfreude.
^^So true. :)
Happy Birthday Neil Patrick Harris!
Chaz makes a cute guy, I think. :)
I can't help but feeling sorry for Chaz - Mother Nature was cruel to him.
Adam Lambert may have just revealed all personally, but he's apparently putting on a poker face for his professional debut.
Living up to his American Idol reputation, and nickname, Glambert has sought out the musical services of hit-making producer RedOne, the man behind Lady Gaga's two biggest hits and the person frequently credited—aside from the teacup-loving singer herself—with the recent resurgence of glam rock.
Sources tell E! News that Lambert spent the weekend holed up with the "Poker Face" and "Just Dance" producer in a Los Angeles recording studio.
While a label source said Lambert's debut will be heavy on "Queen-inspired" sounds, the guylined rocker has teamed with the Swedish-Moroccan producer (who has also produced for Akon, Enrique Iglesias and Michael Jackson, among others) to look "for a new sound that goes beyond what he did on Idol."
Lambert's debut album is due out this fall on RCA Recordings.

Jake at The Saint-Ouen Flea Market In Paris
http://www.iheartjakemedia.com/
Oh look , Jake is papped in some flea market in Paris with Maggie and his brother in law. Who knew the paps hung out there!!
Hooray for Adam, can't wait to hear his new work. :)
1:16 PM, you think it's staged?
Duh! Of course it was staged.
"Duh! Of course it was staged."
You're maybe right. But why would he do that? Reese is nowhere in sight.
2:24: You have got to be kidding? Have you seen the tons of Jake and Kiki pap pics on IHJ while they were out? ANd don't tell me that a lot of those weren't staged. The only difference then was they didn't pretend to be annoyed.
Paps at that flea market in Paris? Just lurking around hoping to find some celebs? Umm, no. Paris is a bit different than the US or the UK, they pretty much leave actors alone except when there is an event like Cannes, etc. That's why Johnny Depp loves it there.

June 14 - Jake at The Saint-Ouen Flea Market In Paris
2:40, I do think some of Jake's pap pics are staged even w/o Reese or Kiki. But then, it again tells us that Jake is not much less of a famewhore than Reese. I wonder why Maggie goes along with it?
All that being said, he's still a pretty cute looking guy. Sigh.
I can't read minds, but it is possible that this wasn't staged.
Maggie and Peter seem like people who don't care about paparazzi and this kind of publicity + during his NYC and London visit Jake was paped only while working (reeking).
What about the pictures in Italy of all three bikiing on her wedding day? Do you think the paps would have even been around if Jake wasn't?
Jake was papped alone and with Maggie, Peter and Ramona while he was in NY in February.
Maggie and Peter are used to it by now.
Maggie was paped in Paris when she was there with Naomi and Ramona shortly after TDK came out.
Paparazzi in Italy were arranged by Reeke (Us Reekly).
NYC in February - probably not staged.
"What about the pictures in Italy of all three bikiing on her wedding day? Do you think the paps would have even been around if Jake wasn't? "
Reeke arranged photo op. I'm pretty certain. If it wasn't arranged, they somehow got wind that Reese Witherspoon was there.
Jake isn't so well known in Europe, except for the UK.
In Italy no one gives a shit about Reese Witherspoon - and that includes Milan airport, lol.
If the Paris flea market pics are setup, so what. It shows Jake with his family, that he's spending time with them and they are happy and comfortable together.. and we know that's true. More so than than the awkward "in love" pics with the Chin.
Btw isn't it funny that the G's can go to a flea market, no problem, but the Chin only goes to top-notch stores in NYC, LA, Paris, etc.? The lowest we've seen her at is a LA Farmers Market.
All pictures without the chin are good pictures.
All pictures without the chin are a godsend!
Which female fans of a highly desired actor are wasting their time? No, he’s not gay, he’s actually celibate but it hasn’t been leaked for fear of running his sexy screen god image.

One of the lowlights was IHJ's baseball pics of the Chin front and center with Jake in the dugout hidden way behind, shit that was when it became IHR. Disgusting. Someone needs to shoot that annoying yapping chihuahua.
Stop insulting chihuahuas! lol
Jake and POP is now FAST becoming a symbol for 2nd class, 2nd choice, fluff, not-serious gaming due to a big sexist faux pas made by IGN and Columbia TriStar. They have a Comic Con contest open only to male gamers (Wtf?) and female gamers put up a stink. Also adding to the female gamer fluff factor is the L.A. Times who wrote about female gamers at Comic Con: Women will be rushing the stage, offering to do star Jake Gyllenhaal's laundry on those washboard abs that he acquired for the film, since he spends much of it fighting, shirtless or both.
If Disney was hoping to attract female gamers to POP, they might be surprised it's become a symbol of inequality:
"So girls, don't feel intimidated by Comic-Con. You can do Jake Gyllenhaal's laundry!"
Cool! lol
"Sure, I like hot guys but do you know what I like even more? Brainy Creative types who create the books and movies that I love so much. I would climb right over Jake Gyllenhaal and his abs if somebody told me Guillermo Del Toro was standing behind him, reading from the phonebook"
LOL!
Duh! Real men don't do laundry.

I don't get it, what is this book? The book review article goes on to say he's working on his first novel, so the story about Jake, is it true?
"I don't get it, what is this book?"
36 columns collected in one book. From the same author:
Jarhead by David Toussaint
Jake Gyllenhaal had a bittersweet year. First, he played the geeky male lead in the underrated but overlooked Proof. Next, he moved up to sexy body-sculpted lead in Jarhead, a box-office disappointment. Finally, he got to play a little bit of both when he got top bottom billing as Jack Twist in Brokeback Mountain, the most talked about and best-reviewed film of the year that went on to win Eight Academy Award nominations (including one for Gyllenhaal), and made history on Oscar night when it…well, we all know how that story ends.
My guess is that of the three films, Jarhead was the one his people thought would certify him as Hollywood’s Hottest Hunk. His body’s ripped to the nines—and displayed prominently throughout—and it’s that Aimless Brooding Kid in Search of Meaning role that’s been around since the day Dorothy fled Kansas, and which so often has born a star. (Think Hoffman in The Graduate or Cruise in Risky Business and you get the idea.)
Problem is, Gyllenhaal, while an extremely engaging young actor, has not quite matured enough for leading-man status. Although that hasn’t stopped other young actors from hitting the jackpot (think Tobey Maguire in anything and you get the idea), Jake’s an in-between; at times he’s sad-puppy cute, at others, hound-dog hot. One of the reasons he was so perfect in The Good Girl was that you, and Jennifer Aniston, wanted to protect his thin-skinned mama’s boy soul. In Jarhead, a film that places Gyllenhaal in almost every scene, and which he also narrates, the audience is supposed to sympathize with his rebellious, “pussy-and-fuck”-mouthed gun-crazed marine “Swoff” (the film is based on the real-life Gulf War memoirs of Anthony Swofford); instead, you’ll probably want to wash his mouth out with soap and call his mom. He doesn’t look like a killer wanna-be, and he’s not a versatile enough actor to make us believe he is in spite of his physical charms (or shaved head).
As for the rest of the film, director Sam Mendes has crafted an intriguing, if somewhat vacant, tale of marines heading into combat. It’s a colorful cast of characters and character acting: Peter Sarsgaard is his usual top-rate self as Swoff’s over-eager sniper partner, while Jamie Foxx puts in an excellent understated performance as the tough-love Sergeant Sykes—even the most ardent anti-war protestors will appreciate Sykes’ devotion to his work. Also exceptional is Evan Jones as the endearingly pathetic kill-mongering Fowler.
In American Beauty and Mendes’ last work, Road to Perdition, the look of the film was half the story. Jarhead is no exception: Whether it’s dust particles settling on Swoff’s profile, or the bleak juxtaposition of soldiers against pitch-white sand, the images at times take a much more active role than the dialogue. Even though there are numerous script references to all wars being alike—there’s a great moment when, upon hearing a Doors song blare out from the speakers, Scoff asks for his own war tune, not one borrowed from Vietnam—the camera is the real “Everywar” cry. As for the much-ballyhooed Christmas scene that has Gyllenhaal dancing around in nothing but a Santa hat and Santa hat jockstrap, it doesn’t serve much of a purpose—except maybe as a visceral reminder that this war is not that far removed from the crazy conflict those M.A.S.H. guys were fighting, or as a flimsy excuse to show Jake in the buff; watch closely and you’ll notice that even here he seems to shy away from the camera, as any self-respecting young man would do. Don’t worry: Mendes doesn’t let that stop him—or us—from getting a Jake fix; Gyllenhaal’s backside is shown off butt naked and in hump form in the first few minutes of the flick, a reminder for every cock-sure cowboy out there as to what made Ennis Del Mar such a happy camper.

the audience is supposed to sympathize with his rebellious, “pussy-and-fuck”-mouthed gun-crazed marine “Swoff”; instead, you’ll probably want to wash his mouth out with soap and call his mom.
LMAO!

"The book review article goes on to say he's working on his first novel, so the story about Jake, is it true?"
No, Jake is just part of his stories/columns. (David Toussaint is gay.)
Thanks for posting the article 6:52 (yes I knew it was a series of articles in Edge) but it didn't answer my question which is, is this true about the author: "he once lived with his partner of five years, Jake Gyllenhaal."
Maybe he did, but that isn't "our" Jake Gyllenhaal :)
Jeez as if Prairie Girls ramblings aren't enough then there's Stubborn tb's preaching that no one should post on OMGodot for a few hours because Specials former boss died. I can deal with Praire's stories sometimes they're amusing, but Stubborn is a self serving preaching holier than thou mess. OMGodot has turned into a freaking minefield.
Dear 7:10 PM,
No.
WHAT!??
Let me ask you something, 7:51. When you scream 'what' like that, what exactly is that in query to? It seems to follow off of nothing.
7:29 PM
We have to be patient with our brothers and sisters - after all, they have to endure us :)
It's in relation to 7.10's comment. Thought that was obvious (with Austin's comment above)
To spell it out further, How come Ted didn't know about a 5 year relationship Toothy had? If it existed, that is!
Are you serious? There was no relationship. David Toussaint is a satirist. It's satire. Oy.
According to Reese's fake twitter Jake is happily singing along to Dancing Queen with Ava while they watch Mama Mia. How quickly will PR stop this person?? Minutes? Hours?
http://twitter.com/laurareese
Yeah, 8.19 and I was having a bit of fun with Ted's comment. guess we got our wires crossed!
"According to Reese's fake twitter Jake is happily singing along to Dancing Queen with Ava while they watch Mama Mia. How quickly will PR stop this person?? Minutes? Hours?"
Actually Jake and Ava had a fight over who would wear the sparkly outfit. They were pulling it between them, it ripped. So Mama Reese punished them both by turning off "Mama Mia" and made them watch "Rendition" :(
Her scenes?
Don't care what anyone says, it's really nice to see Jake spending time with Maggie and Peter, see him looking relaxed and smiling and especially nice because old Witherbeard isn't trolling along. Maybe if God is good to us this will be the beginning of the Reeke taking a time out and Jake ran over to Paris to spend time with his family because he was so upset stories. Anything that gets rid of Witherbeard sounds good to me.
Maybe if God is really really good to us Reese will hop on a plane to visit Jake, it will crash, everyone will survive but her, Jake will get to play the bf so devestated that he can't love another woman as wonderful as Reese so he turns gay.
LOL 6:06, loved your Adam lol picture. Funny and so true.

About Cuntera. I'm wondering if what set her off was Stephen and Naomi at Maggie and Peter's wedding. For one, Cuntera wasn't there. Two, the pics of them that we saw had them smiling in close proximity looking comfy with each other. And the Reeke pics with Mama at the aqueduct, she was wearing her wedding rings. So maybe N&S are trying to reconcile or they are happy with what it is and need space with each other, but however it is, Cuntera isn't and won't ever be in the picture.
As for the N&S financial situation, IMO it's overblown. It's par for the course for each party in a divorce to claim they have no money, they owe a lot of money, the other one spent money like crazy, the other one owes money like crazy and the other one refuses to pay up. Typical divorce attorney strategy.
but we're united in our fight against the Chin.
Amen.
LOL
Maybe Stephen's bonking Ariana Huffington.
"About Cuntera. I'm wondering if what set her off was Stephen and Naomi at Maggie and Peter's wedding."
I don't get Cuntera. A week ago she said: "Happy 29th anniversary, Michael. This song more and any other song is about you and me and our life together". Few months ago she blogged about her beloved Stephen and asked him to marry her. Huh?
Poor Cantara, she must be devestated.
"LOL 6:06, loved your Adam lol picture. Funny and so true."

Cuntera has a partner, the horrible Michael, who looks like Chas. Manson. She's not bonked Stephen, she just wants to get Naomi's goat. Eric Foner seems also involved in this vendetta of C. also. sbut she IS as we all know "batshit crazy" so there's no real point in trying to figure her out. just enjoy the ride.
Good point :)
Sacha Baron Cohen as his gay Austrian TV reporter Bruno does GQ's first nude cover. The article inside is a "question and answer" style advice column chock-full of meant-to-offend Bruno advice. Images by Mark Seliger. More at GQ.
Here are a few samples:
Dear Brüno,
Is it okay to “manscape” down there?
It’s more zan okay; it is most essential. Be careful if you do it yourself, though—yesterday ich tried to self-wax mein arschenhaller und glued meinself to ze bed. Manscaping ist important, but not as crucial as getting regular anal bleaching. If Brüno didn’t get his schmutziger arschenhaller bleached twice a month, his shtinker vould resemble Dizzy Gillespie during a trumpet solo. In Austria anal bleaching ist considered so important zat it’s paid for by ze state. In fact, you cannot run for office if you don’t have a vhite arschwitz. Indeed, ex-chancellor Kurt Waldheim vas elected on ze back of a prishtine anus. Zere are added benefits to getting ze bleaching—on my last session, mein beautician, Klaus, found ze long-lost head of a David Beckham action figure up zere.
Dear Brüno,
If forced to choose: Dolce or Gabbana?
Gabbana. Dolce is bald, so zere’s no hair to grab hold of.

Interesting article about Disney almost out out of money on Nikki Finke. "I've confirmed that Disney is telling its on-the-lot producers that the film studio is out of development money right now. So no new script purchases and no filling open writing assignments openings until September at the earliest. That's because Disney will be tapped out until the funds are replenished in October. Things are so bad that the film studio's line was "...except for Bruckheimer" for a while -- but apparently even mighty Jerry is going to have to use his own funds if he wants to continue developing material. It's not like this wasn't expected. When profits at the film studio sank a whopping 97% last quarter, because Disney's slate bombed in the midst of Hollywood's box office boom, boss Bob Iger forced the film studio to what he called "address costs at virtually every level" which meant cutting back even further the film studio's pic output, production budgets and marketing costs." I wonder if they will have funds to promote POP.
Maybe Jake could do second GQ nude cover? ;)
It's going to be a hard, long reeking during promotion time...
:(
Maybe Disney has better idea for using Jake to promote PoP?

How about "Is Jake Gyllenhaal dating Adam Lambert?" for a catchy tabloid title? lol
"There is a period once you finish a guy — a character — when you're looking to go back to yourself and sometimes it can manifest itself in illness. After I made The Libertine, I was in bed for two weeks. When you're working, you don't get sick, then suddenly it hits you like a two-by-four."

Dear Ted:
I think you are so wrong about Adam Lambert coming out before the end of Idol. There's so much homophobia in the U.S. that he probably wouldn't have made the final two. Plus, the fact that he's gay would have gotten more attention than his singing. He would have been "That gay contestant" instead of Adam Lambert. He played it smart.
—Strayerch
Dear Glittering Gay:
Agree to disagree, but it's not like Adam was exactly Joe the Plumber on Idol before he came out, anyway.
The Obama administration, which came to office promising to protect gay rights but so far has not done much, actually struck a blow for the other side last week. It submitted a disturbing brief in support of the Defense of Marriage Act, which is the law that protects the right of states to not recognize same-sex marriages and denies same-sex married couples federal benefits. The administration needs a new direction on gay rights.
A gay couple married under California law is challenging the act in federal court. In its brief, the Justice Department argues that the couple lack legal standing to do so. It goes on to contend that even if they have standing, the case should be dismissed on the merits.
The brief insists it is reasonable for states to favor heterosexual marriages because they are the “traditional and universally recognized form of marriage.” In arguing that other states do not have to recognize same-sex marriages under the Constitution’s “full faith and credit” clause, the Justice Department cites decades-old cases ruling that states do not have to recognize marriages between cousins or an uncle and a niece.
These are comparisons that understandably rankle many gay people. In a letter to President Obama on Monday, Joe Solmonese, president of the Human Rights Campaign, a gay rights organization, said, “I cannot overstate the pain that we feel as human beings and as families when we read an argument, presented in federal court, implying that our own marriages have no more constitutional standing than incestuous ones.”
The brief also maintains that the Defense of Marriage Act represents a “cautious policy of federal neutrality” — an odd assertion since the law clearly discriminates against gay couples. Under the act, same-sex married couples who pay their taxes are ineligible for the sort of federal benefits — such as Social Security survivors’ payments and joint tax returns — that heterosexual married couples receive.
In the presidential campaign, President Obama declared that he would work to overturn the Defense of Marriage Act. Now, the administration appears to be defending it out of a sense of obligation to support a validly enacted Congressional law. There is a strong presumption that the Justice Department will defend federal laws, but it is not an inviolable rule.
If the administration does feel compelled to defend the act, it should do so in a less hurtful way. It could have crafted its legal arguments in general terms, as a simple description of where it believes the law now stands. There was no need to resort to specious arguments and inflammatory language to impugn same-sex marriage as an institution.
The best approach of all would have been to make clear, even as it defends the law in court, that it is fighting for gay rights. It should work to repeal “don’t ask, don’t tell,” the law that bans gay men and lesbians in the military from being open about their sexuality. It should push hard for a federal law banning employment discrimination. It should also work to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act in Congress.
The administration has had its hands full with the financial crisis, health care, Guantánamo Bay and other pressing matters. In times like these, issues like repealing the marriage act can seem like a distraction — or a political liability. But busy calendars and political expediency are no excuse for making one group of Americans wait any longer for equal rights.

Robert Pattinson Attacked By Crazy Fans
I still don't see Robert Pattinson's appeal :)
Since there's not much going on I decided to check out GB. The sheep--I mean babblers--were all talking about how Jake looked happy and bored in Paris just because that is what Fl/UV said in their post. Ha ha.
The also had a Jake sighting from NY, wonder who was the guy with Jake? Doesn't Austin kind of glow sometimes?
Hippest Restaurant?
That's very disappointing, the stance on the DOMA now, especially after promising to repeal it. :'(
From "Hippest Restaurant: Jake’s he-friend had a glow reminiscent of Jude Law’s in Wilde. My spring scarf was smoke grey with a gilded elephant motif. His was white with navy accents..
Wasn't that a Jake and Reese sighting in Brooklyn last week sister spy? A Jake, Reese and their drop dead gorgeous friends to be accurate. There were twitter sighings on Saturday of them there right after the play they went to but the twitters didn't mention friends.
Matt was with them that day, the glow may have been physical description or they way he was dressed, a white scarf with blue. A bit bit overdressed for that joint.
They seem to find sigtings that don't always pop up on google.
Jake has family and friends in Brooklyn, bet that's why he went there instead of some place in Manhattan after the play.
"Of course not, because buzzy though it may be, Marlow & Sons is located in that aesthetically impoverished borough of Brooklyn. But that doesn’t stop the likes of Jake Gyllenhaal, Reese Witherspoon and their drop-dead gorgeous friends from popping in, as they did tonight. As I waited for my huckleberry-infused gin and tonic at the bar, I chatted briefly with the characteristically affable Gyllenhaal about Brokeback Mountain and, of course, the island of Sicily.
But my cocktail was underwhelming, and my brik chicken, though passably succulent, lacked the sophisticated presentation one comes to expect from similar venues across the East River. Likewise, my chocolate caramel tart was garishly large, and the oversized salt crystals screamed hipster kitchen effort when what was called for was subtle tang and restraint.
There was also morel toast on the menu du jour, and I mean please — sticking mushrooms on a spring menu? Serious cop-out, kiddos. In June you can practically pick ripe tomatoes off the Jersey Turnpike.
Jake’s he-friend had a glow reminiscent of Jude Law’s in Wilde. My spring scarf was smoke grey with a gilded elephant motif. His was white with navy accents..
Two otherwise on-the-money dining partners — not, sigh, Jake and Reese — pointed out the chocolate bars for sale made by some Brooklyn hipster squad in their apartment. But guess what bitches? I don’t want to ingest chocolate made in some dude’s Billyburg apartment-cave.
If one could distill the evening down to one little infinitive, I’d say, “to want.”
"Matt was with them that day, the glow may have been physical description"
Yeah, he has the same hair as Jude Law.
Matt doesn't look anything like Jude Law. Someone else, however, bears a bit of a resemblance. I think the sentence and reference to Wilde is a veiled reference to Jake being with a gay friend, and Reese there as a cover. :(
"Oscar Wilde is re-introduced to the dashingly handsome and openly foppish poet Lord Alfred Douglas [Jude Law's character], whom he had met briefly the year before, and the two fall into a passionate and tempestuous relationship."
I don't think he meant glow as looks like but glow as in Wilde/gay vibe. If he resembled him he would have said it, the glow/Wilde reference sounding like he pinged. Also the way he was dressed, similar to himself, the scarf bit is a bit much for that place.
The asumption was Matt because he was papped with them that day but it could have been anyone, Jake knows tons of people in NY.
He doesn't mention or describe the other friends.
Law in Wilde: foppish/effeminate that's the glow, and that's the blogger's (I assume) veiled reference to his "behavior" and his dress. This happened on the night they went to see Carnage of God and the few pics of them were by themselves, so I assume they met up with the group Wilde/guy at this place in Brooklyn.
I know Maggie and Peter live there and some cousins but I sware I heard Naomi moved back there as well, possibly with Maggie and Peter. That would explain why she is in Europe with them babysitting Ramona.
Whatever happened to cameras? Cell phones don't come with cameras anymore?
Generally speaking, I see the reference to Wilde as the relationship between Lord Alfred Douglas and Oscar Wilde. Why use that reference otherwise? There's any number of references for pinging gaydar.
Whoever Jake was with, it's clear that this blogger's gaydar was set off and he did not think Jake was "with" Reese. Jake always has more chemistry with men than women. :-D
New Yorkers are too cool to whip out the cellphone when they see a celebrity in a restaurant.
The blogger can't determine anything based on one encounter unless this wan't the first encounter.
Byron was extremely effeminate and didn't hide it, this individual sounds like purses maybe fell out of his mouth when he spoke. But this blogger seems a bit more less tacky from the brief look on the blog.
And considering they were both wearing scarves that night in that joint, I would think purses fall out of his mouth as well.
No cell phones but plenty of blogs and twitters!!
I wonder if Jake is still in London, the last twitter of him was yesterday at Harrods with Maggie.
:) The first thing I think of when anybody mentions Oscar Wilde is "the love that dare not speak its name". I think that restaurant article spoke volumes.
Knowing there's a cock close by always brings out my chemistry!
LOL
3:14 ITA. And funny how it came from Babble. I don't want to go over there but does anyone know how they treated this sighting? Did they ignore the gay pinging?
"the love that dare not speak its name".
It doesn't matter.Jake's gayness speaks loud and clear enough.
"As I waited for my huckleberry-infused gin and tonic at the bar, I chatted briefly with the characteristically affable Gyllenhaal about Brokeback Mountain and, of course, the island of Sicily."
Sounds like made up bullshit sighting.
http://www.journalfen.net/community/fandom_wank/
One babbler thanked the person who posted the sighting and made a remark about how nice it is Reeke can avoid the paps (LOL!), the rest have ignored it. Which means they know exactly what that blogger was getting at. :-D
http://www.journalfen.net/community/fandom_wank/
What's that?
Considering a babbler posted it, they though it was no big deal I would assume. There is a posted sighting of Jake and Reese from last week of them at some cafe and that got the same number of responses as the one in Brooklyn.
Jake and Reese together, with friends and a purse dropper tagging along,etc are a bore even for them.

Examples of same-sex behavior can be found in almost all species in the animal kingdom - from worms to frogs to birds - making the practice nearly universal among animals, according to a new review of research on the topic.
"It's clear that same-sex sexual behavior extends far beyond the well-known examples that dominate both the scientific and popular literature: for example, bonobos, dolphins, penguins and fruit flies," said Nathan Bailey, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Riverside.
Same-sex behaviors in different species are not all equivalent, the review finds. For instance, male fruit flies sometimes court other male flies, but this behavior is due to a missing gene that gives the flies the ability to distinguish between sexes, said Bailey, a co-author of the review. "That is very different from male bottlenose dolphins, who engage in same-sex interactions to facilitate group bonding, or female Laysan Albatross that can remain pair-bonded for life," he added.
The review also found a gap in the literature: While many studies have tried to understand why same-sex coupling exists and why it might make sense in terms of evolution, few have looked at what the evolutionary consequences of this behavior might be.
"Like any other behavior that doesn't lead directly to reproduction - such as aggression or altruism - same-sex behavior can have evolutionary consequences that are just now beginning to be considered," Bailey said. "For example, male-male copulations in locusts can be costly for the mounted male" and this cost may put evolutionary pressure on the locusts, he said. As a result, a larger number of males may secrete a particular chemical that discourages the mounting behavior, he added. In their future research, Bailey and Marlene Zuk, a biology professor at UCR, plan to try and address questions about the evolutionary outcomes of same-sex couplings, focusing on the Laysan Albatrosses.
