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.

LOL. My conservative church-going aunt & uncle avoided acknowledging that my cousin (their son) was gay (and he was obvious) UNTIL the other son who was straight and promiscuous got 2 gfs pregnant in hs and they had to pay for the abortions. After that they were more than happy to have a gay son. They wouldn't let my straight cousin have girls in his room with the door closed but my gay cousin could have his bfs spend the night because "Greg can't get any of his boyfriends pregnant."
Practical family! lol
6:12
Even if it was for the wrong reasons, i'm glad that your cousin is accepted by his father now.
and message to Greg: you can't get your guys pregnant but still,please, be careful with deseases and crabs.
Appart of that,
enjoy your life,honey!! :)
I'm very optimistic. If conservative religious people can embrace abortion, maybe they'll change their minds about homosexuality some day too.
When I was 5, I would stop whatever I was doing when the neighbor across the street cut his grass. I would just sit on the stoop and stare. He was built, and all he wore were cut-offs and sneakers. He would always wave at me.
You mean aside from giving nightly karaoke performances of Bette Midler's Divine Madness in my bedroom after dinner or spending the entire summer of 1982 working out my rendition of Jennifer Holliday's And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going all day long until several neighbours posted "for sale" signs on their front lawns and would shout out, "...just GO ALREADY FOR FUCK'S SAKE YOU BIG FAG!"?
Um, not really.
Now wait a second - my musician friends and I used to always get together and sing in high school and college, and my BF too, and I can assure you he wasn't gay. He knew as much about and loved music as I did. I also grew up in a very creative, artistic summer community, and not everyone was gay who was a singer, musician, actor or writer.

HUH? Before you people post something like this ^^ why don't you say what the fuck it is first. And in this case, all that comes up is comments about LJ from July 20 2007.. WTF? Who the fuck cares?
Isn't that a bit of an overreaction there? Who pissed in your frosted flakes today?
California Gov Schwarzenegger Affirms Validity Of Prop 8 Lawsuit.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says a federal lawsuit challenging California's gay marriage ban poses a valid legal question that should be decided by the courts.
Schwarzenegger's position came in a court filing Tuesday, his deadline to respond to the lawsuit filed on behalf of two unmarried same-sex couples who want to overturn Proposition 8.
Heading the legal team for the couples are famed attorneys David Boies and Theodore Olson, who opposed each other in the 2000 presidential election challenge.
Last week, California Attorney General Jerry Brown filed his response, saying he agrees that Proposition 8 violates the U.S. Constitution's promise of equal protection and due process.
Schwarzenegger didn't elaborate on the merits of the lawsuit, only saying that it "presents important constitutional questions."
CA Gov Validates Lawsuit Against Prop 8
No wonder Jake was shipped off to Europe!
FUCK!
Thank god. We would have been wiped out.
I can just see Jake and Austin cavorting at Emmerich's during TDAT filming. Many of the movie's scenes are framed to highlight them as a couple. Roland knew what was up.
Poor audio but at 4:50 to 5:17 this cool tough guy actor who was in Bubble Boy and Sherrybaby says he doesn't know who he'd like to kiss better, Jake or Maggie, lol. Danny Trejo. He's not goodlooking but IMO he's kind of charming in a way!
"not everyone was gay who was a singer, musician, actor or writer"
Stop playing dumb.
"No wonder Jake was shipped off to Europe!"
Los Angeles' A-Gays Gather at Roland Emmerich + Bryan Singer's Post-Pride Party
Whenever there's something gay in Los Angeles, there is always an after party at 2012 director Roland Emmerich's estate. With Valkyrie director-producer Bryan Singer (pictured, left) at his side, the A-gays gather to pay their respects — before stripping down to their Speedos and diving into the pool. With West Hollywood's gay pride parade yesterday, it only made sense Emmerich would once again open up his gates to LA's gays. One attendee sends photo evidence of the fracas, which came complete with Candis Cayne performing with a Jaws theme (she ended up in getting "attacked," ended up in the pool, and "blood" going everywhere) — although the photos shuttled to our inbox shows less performance, more "attempting to stand."
Alas, we cannot confirm whether involuntarily adult film star Dustin Lance Black attended last night's soiree, as he's been known to.
And sorry, no photos of the after-after party (which generally has a clothing-optional policy), nor do we have pictures from what happened when Roland and Bryan (pictured, Page 3) took a few select young men into the house for private casting sessions.
"involuntarily adult film star"
LOL
"not everyone was gay who was a singer, musician, actor or writer"
Well that is true, not all males in the arts are gay. However, cliches and stereotypes are cliches and stereotypes for a reason.
"Whenever there's something gay in Los Angeles, there is always an after party at 2012 director Roland Emmerich's estate."
Aww, poor Jake, he's missing a lot!
"Aww, poor Jake, he's missing a lot!"
LOL
Although I have to say IMHO that Jake even though he's a performer he doesn't seem like a crowd person, like he would enjoy being with all those strangers. He seems more like he would prefer small dinner parties with a few people he knows well. At any rate theres no way he could go to that party and stay bearding for long, word and pics would def get out fast!
"Many of the movie's scenes are framed to highlight them as a couple. Roland knew what was up."
Yeah, I can just see Emmerich shooting his 100+ million budget movie around Jake and Austin as a couple. LOL!
Emmerich loves twinks :)
"no photos of the after-after party (which generally has a clothing-optional policy)"
*sigh*
"nor do we have pictures from what happened when Roland and Bryan took a few select young men into the house for private casting sessions"
TDAT - Emmerich and Jake and private casting session?
Or sessions?
OT but I am LOLOLOL so much right now. Aaron Carter sent a tweet saying how he loves ONTD and he gave his cell #, all the ONTD'ers are calling him, then one ONTDer hacked his voice mail..LMAO it's fucking hilarious
^^^ ONTD - Aaron Carter Love Us
He's nice to ONTD and that's how they repay him, they hack into his phone, change his voicemail to "I know, bitch, I was watching!" and delete his incoming messages except for the ones that they're going to post, LMAO!
Jake and everyone who knows him needs to post their cell # for ONTD, lol.
4:57 AM
That will teach him a lesson! lol
"TDAT - Emmerich and Jake and private casting session?"
Emmerich: TDAT? CDAT? SUKDAT!
^^ Please translate!

The 63rd Edinburgh International Film Festival [17 - 23 June] opens later with the world premiere of Away We Go, the new film by Oscar-winning director Sam Mendes.
Several of the film's stars including Maggie Gyllenhaal and John Krasinski, from the US version of The Office, are due to join Mendes at the opening gala.
Sir Sean Connery, Alan Cumming and Frost/Nixon star Frank Langella are also expected to attend. The 11-day festival will show 135 films, including 23 world premieres.

SHE'S HOT FOR TEACHER RANDI
THEY could be the lesbian power couple of all time: Randi Weingarten, the new president of the 1.4 million-member American Federation of Teachers, is dating Hilary Rosen, former head of the Recording Industry Association of America, who appears on CNN and is Washington, DC, editor-at-large for the Huffington Post.
Both women regularly appear on lists of the most powerful women in the US. Tonight, the lovebirds and Kennedy cousin Mark Shriver are co-hosting a party at Art & Soul in DC to launch Julianne Moore's children's book, "Freckleface Strawberry and the Dodgeball Bully."
A rep for Weingarten at the 110,000-member United Federation of Teachers, which she's run since 1998, said, "We don't discuss Randi's personal life." Rosen declined to comment. But a friend said, "They are definitely dating."
Weingarten went public with her same-sexuality in 2007, when she was honored by Empire State Pride Agenda and introduced Liz Margolies, a psychotherapist and health care activist, as her partner.
Rosen resigned as head of the RIAA in 2003, saying she wanted to spend more time with her partner, Elizabeth Birch, and the couple's twins, a boy and a girl.
Sorry gang; you'll have to wait a little longer to see Sean Penn play a stooge.
The Milk actor has dropped out of his next two projects, including playing Larry Fine in an upcoming Three Stooges biopic, presumably so he can sort out his relationship with Robin Wright Penn. Sean filed for divorce from his wife in late April, only to withdraw the petition a few weeks later.
I actually know more white collar professionals who are gay than my musician buddies. And yes, they are all partnered for many, many years, and while I don't know the intimate details of their sex lives, they seem quite happy to be monogamouse. They are all different ages, some older, some younger. So don't speak to me about cliches and stereotypes, because it does no good to anyone to proliferate them.
Sorry, that should read monogamous. Everyone's worlds are different, there's no one world.

"So don't speak to me about cliches and stereotypes, because it does no good to anyone to proliferate them."
I think the poster who said " cliches and stereotypes are cliches and stereotypes for a reason" has a point.
For example, all gays don't like musicals, but it's obvious that musicals are 'gay thing'.

^^^ So nice to see openly gay men on the list :)
So don't speak to me about cliches and stereotypes, because it does no good to anyone to proliferate them.
""There's no obvious reason why sexual orientation should be associated with how masculine or feminine one is, but it is in our species. And it probably has to do with the causes of sexual orientation and early effects of hormones on the brain," Bailey said.
Bailey did a survey of professional dancers and found half the men were gay. But why? "Because dancing is a feminine occupation," he said.
We visited the Pennsylvania Ballet to ask its male dancers what they thought of the stereotype. "People talk about it. It's no big deal, and as a matter of fact, it's almost celebrated if you're gay," said dancer Meredith Rainey. "So what if there are a lot of gay men in dance? I think it's a good thing."
Gay Stereotypes: Are They True?
Personally, I don't think dancing is masculine nor feminine, nor are musicals. Of course it's a good thing, nor is it a big deal, where or where not the majority of careers have gay men, I think the whole fixation on someone's sexuality, and even worse, the jokes about it, are ridiculous. It's a kind of homophobia.
I also really hate these "scientific explanations" for what makes someone gay or not. The implication is it is against the "norm", which is an insult. Why can't whether or not someone is gay or straight just be, and be part of the grand plan? Why does there have to be a "reason" for why people love who they do? It just is. People's thoughts and feelings are very complex.
"The implication is it is against the "norm", which is an insult."
I'm not gay, but I'm a geek and I love being against the "norm".
Anthropologically, men have been dancing since the beginning of civilization, it's a human thing, not a gender related thing. It's human expression and artistic, creative expression.
12:26, if you were treated as second class and denied the things what the majority of society takes for granted, I guarantee you wouldn't like it.
Another good gay male profession example - fashion designer.
"12:26, if you were treated as second class and denied the things what the majority of society takes for granted, I guarantee you wouldn't like it."
I would hate it. But ...
Do you think that gay people should try to 'fit in' in order to be accepted or get equal rights, to try to be as 'normal' as possible?
NOOOOOO - not at all, that's my point. I think people are saying just the opposite, and have for years, with race, religion, etc. Differences should not enter into whether a person has civil rights, that's a given for all human beings. I think the latest we read from Washington about DOMA is a big disappointment.
1 — Chace Crawford
2 — Chris Pine

6 — Dwayne Johnson (The Rock)
7 — Brody Jenner
8 — Common
9 — Taylor Kitsch
10 — Robert Pattinson
"NOOOOOO - not at all, that's my point."
OK, so a lot of gay people love being gay, love being against the "norm"?
Yes. And that's why I put norm in quotes, there is no such thing, except for a false assumption by the majority of the population. People can be whatever they want to be, and shouldn't be judged, categorized, analyzed, stereotyped.
I see nothing wrong with stating the truth, that certain professions, forms of entertainment, etc. draw a lot of gay men and lesbians. That's not homophobic. What is homophobic is to devalue those things based on who likes them, i.e., ballet is bad because women and gay men like it, but football is good because straight men like it.
Nice to see a list that doesn't have all the usual suspects. But there are two whose appeal I just don't get at all--Shia and Pattinson.
Nice to see Adam and the Rock on it.
"10 — Robert Pattinson"
Only 10th?!? Smelling salts, smelling salts!!
I agree, but it also is unfair assumption because it doesn't mention and thus devalues, the rich men, poor men, beggermen, thieves, doctors, lawyers, Indian chiefs, accountants, waitstaff, etc. who are also gay and lesbian. I know gay men who like sports; I know straight men who like ballet.
And don't forget tinkers, tailors, soldiers, and sailors! ;)
I am gay and I don't feel devalued because someone talks that way about gay people, and neither do any of my gay friends. Some of them are theater queens, some of them are sports nuts, and most of them have nothing to do, profession-wise, with the arts. I really think you're taking yourself a little too seriously 1:02.
^^I think you misunderstand; there's too much emphasis and assumptions on the professions and not on the people is the point some of us are making.
Call me stupid, but I find gay male stereotypes endearing.
Reese not made of sugar? ;)
Lainey
Reese Witherspoon is in Washington shooting How Do You Know showing off a wicked bitchface. Not sure if the cameras were rolling when these were taken but a reader called Catherine (thanks Catherine!) was there this morning and observed that America’s Sweetheart isn’t exactly the sweetest on set.
You’d think she’d be the type, given her public image, to be the one offering baked goods to everyone and leading people on singalongs but in reality, apparently Reese rarely engages, keeps to herself, has not been socialising, laughing, chatty with crew, curiously in sharp contrast to Angelina Jolie who was working in the capitol not long ago and was extremely approachable and tight with production staff.
What?
You mean Reese Witherspoon isn’t made of sugar?
Please.
The sugar comes out strategically. The spice and the ICE are the everyday.
Endearing is nice - as long as the stereotypes don't inadvertently cause harm, or lead to misconceptions. :)
Little girls who act like boys are known as tomboys. Little boys who act like girls are known as faggots. My friend Charles and I were faggots at eight years-old. He was constantly reprimanded by teachers for screaming like a girl at recess. He could reach Mariah Carey ear-bloodying pitches. If he has transitioned to a female I would not be surprised—look me up on Facebook, girl!
My mother grew up in Texas, the only girl among two football-playing brothers and an ex-military father. As a child, I was probably the gayest person she had ever met. She struggled with wanting me to be happy, wanting to protect me, and probably being embarrassed my effeminate behavior. She allowed me to have the movie, Grease, as my Bar-Mitzvah party theme (complete with larger-than-life cutouts of the Pink Ladies) Oh, and she would tap my wrists to let me know when they were limp.
Charles and I were at my house, busy dressing up, satiating our repressed femininity like a stoner munching out on Cool Ranch Doritos. Sashaying to a Pointer Sisters cassette tape, my mother knocked on the door. I frantically threw a sweatshirt on over my dress, struggling to get into a pair of sweatpants but like all dramatic stories, it was too late. She barged in and caught us with our dresses down, so to speak.
She yanked my ass downstairs and into her Laura Ashley-clad bedroom. Sitting on the edge of her bed, naked except for a bathrobe and one roller in the front of her hair, she slapped me in the face. It wasn’t an angry slap; it was a panicked slap. Then she cried and made me an appointment with a psychologist.
:(
A (former) friend of mine once advised me that if I wanted to get a date, I should “tone it down.” “Don’t tell them you love Belinda Carlisle’s vibrato, Bette Davis’ staccato, and the girls of The Facts of Life—not on the first date.” Do I have to trick someone into tolerating my femme qualities? Fuck that.
For a college course, I combed through the Village Voice's male-for-male personal ads from 1970-2000 seeking trends in gay men’s ideals of attractiveness. The one constant across the 30-year period was the long-standing “No Fats, No Femmes” sentiment. Although my research is far from scientific I find personal ads to be a reasonable litmus test on this subject especially when they are easily accessible and free.
Scanning the pages of Los Angeles m4m listings, the same words keep popping up: regular, normal, straight, frat, ex-frat, bi, straight-acting, discreet, and married. I’m sure many of these men are married—to other men.
Anyone looking for a queen? Let’s see. Keyword search: femme.
In the past seven days, 14 ads are posted containing the word “femme.” Five specify no femmes. Out of the nine pro-femme ads, I am ineligible for my favorite: “Michelle Kwan roleplay for cute asian.” Curses.
The word “discreet” comes up in over one thousand postings. It is the new “straight-acting.” There are two spellings of the word “discreet.” The other spelling, “discrete,” means distinct, separate, and individual. That is the antithesis of what these Craigslisters want in a man. Discrete’s double-E’d sister is marked by modesty and prudence—two of my least favorite words.
“Wise self-restraint,” the second definition of “discreet,” is most applicable to the performance of straight-acting.
When I attempt to be straight-acting, whether it is for a laugh or to rapidly attain meaningless sex, I suspend all movement. Gone are the gesticulations, the rubber-faces, or the rolling of eyeballs. They are replaced with—well—nothing. Speaking in a low monotone, any semblance of personality evaporates. To be discreet, less is more.
Straightacting.com became well-known in 2000 for its “famous Straight-Acting Quiz.” Multiple choice questions determine your level of straight-actingness. Or lack thereof. Questions range from how much you enjoy receiving flowers and the frequency you say “pee-pee” instead of penis, to how publicly affectionate you're willing to be with your partner in a “non-gay environment.” Upon my arrival, any environment turns gay.
A Level 2 (Very Straight Acting) person is described as having “carefully crafted” actions “in a way that they never appear to be considered too fem.” This is the very essence of straight-acting: the utter calculation of every movement, every word that comes out of your discreetly dick-eating mouth. Kooky Level 6s, on the other hand, enjoy exploring their feminine side. “Most people just assume you are gay…which is just fine with you.” But not fine with the creators and patrons of this site who hold faux masculinity in the highest regard.
The intelligentsia behind StraightActing.com chalk up their penchant for straight-acting men to simple preference: “Just as people have preferences for the type of guys they like, for example, ‘Tall men,’ many of us have a preference for ‘straight acting’ men—Men that (sic) have very few effeminate traits but still like to get down with other men.” Get down with other men? Is that some demented idea of how masculine men speak? Cue effeminate eye-rolling. More importantly, their glorification of straight-acting is not preference, it is bias.
For the men of StraightActing.com and the allegedly married-to-women, bisexual, ex-frat boys of Craigslist, I empathize with you. I get it. I hope for both you and me that we can expand our ideals of beauty and evolve into a state of self love. Here’s to becoming more discrete.
And less discreet.
Queerty
Oh, boy. As Denise Richards would say - It's Complicated.
It is - the writer at 1:30 makes a great point, tho. :(

Being an actor helps.
After People declares Chace Crawford the "summer's hottest bachelor," Crawford tells the magazine about the stereotypically straight activities he and Ed Westwick took part in when they found out about the gay rumors that were totally being made up about them:
"On the made-up gay rumors about him and co-star Ed Westwick: 'You know what we really did the first time we heard it? Ed goes, 'Oh, did you hear that rumor about us being gay?' I was like, 'Yeah, man.' He starts laughing and we're kind of like, 'Okay, you want to go play pool and have a beer?''"
Towleroad
Is the world's population of celebrity bachelors going extinct, because why did People Magazine name Chace Crawford as their sexiest Summer bachelor? The sexiest bitch you'll run into at a glory hole, maybe. Or the sexiest bitch who will cut you for the last highlighting cap at Sally's Beauty Supply. But not the hottest bachelor. Maybe the editor meant to name Chase the No Face Cat as the hottest bachelorette and the message somehow got lost in translation? That would've made complete sense.
The rest of People's hottest bachelors include Chris Pine (eh), Glamberace (sure), Shia LaDouche (his mom concurs), Brody Jenner (People is having a laugh, now), Common (I co-sign) and RPattz. If I don't agree with the RPattz choice, the mob of crazed Twihards will hunt me down and paralyze me with their screeches. So I agree.
The sexiest bitch you'll run into at a glory hole, maybe. Or the sexiest bitch who will cut you for the last highlighting cap at Sally's Beauty Supply. But not the hottest bachelor.
LOL!

------------------
They/or/and their publicists still manage to sound like totally insecure cunts when they try and "laugh it off" don't they? So forced and strained, and as if going off to have a beer and play pool is something gay people would never dream of doing. Who fucking writes this stuff? It's gotta be someone so out of touch. Incredible.
I like how all you can get out of it if you read between the lines is they are not gay with. each. other.
"Who fucking writes this stuff? It's gotta be someone so out of touch. Incredible."
So many gays in Hollywood, so little time!

Jake in London on a pirate ship at a kids playground.
^^^
Tuesday, June 16, 2009
Where: Princess Diana Memorial Park in Kensington Park, London
When: Today, about 1:30 pm
Who: Now things are getting interesting!
Okay, let's cut to the chase:
We hung out at the park with Jake Gyllenhaal today. Erin, did you hear me? An Oscar-winning Celebrity. And I don't just have a story. I have PROOF, sistah. Proof. Check it.
Thank goodness I had kids to fake pose right under the pirate ship playground where Mr. Gyllenhaal was.
It's totally him, baby.
The first tip-off was the hat. I was like, dude, who wears a hat like that to the park with their kid? And now, look at the collar. Dead giveaway. And do you know what? When I got my camera out, he flinched. He was just a little TOO aware of a camera than a normal human would be.
"An Oscar-winning Celebrity."
.....
Americans! lol
And do you know what? When I got my camera out, he flinched.
An American tourist taking picture of an American in London, UK.
Since when Jake is an Oscar winner? And who is that old man in a hat? It seems like one of the kids lost their grandpa
Aww, I'm the real Oscar winner for my fellow Americans!
P.S. Oh my, I'm looking red hot sexy in that hat.
with their kid
Ramona? Baby Tile?
I would say Ramona.
Cher is speaking out for the first time about her daughter Chastity Bono’s decision to become her son Chaz.
The 63-year-old pop diva tells People, “Chaz is embarking on a difficult journey, but one that I will support. I respect the courage it takes to go through this transition in the glare of public scrutiny, and although I may not understand, I will strive to be understanding. The one thing that will never change is my abiding love for my child.”
JJ
Jake doesn't look too happy in those photos, in fact he looks wary and suspicious.
I don't really believe in Baby Tile, but this gives me pause. I don't think he'd look like this if he was just with Ramona.
It's Ramona and he has looked even more wary in other pics. If he was so keen to keep a baby a secret he sure the hell wouldn't take the kid to Kennsington park of all places.
We have never seen Jake in pap pics alone with Ramona, usally it's with Maggie and Peter. The closest was a few years ago in Ny where when he was pushing her in a stroller. Once he saw the paps, he took off like a bat out of hell, which was careless IMO.
Maggie and Peter try to e careful and not have Ramona papped, I think that most of the pics her face is hidden, only a few sets where you her face and I assume they were not aware they were being papped.
You can't possibly know if it was Ramona. And why should it matter if Jake is alone with Ramona? You make it sound like he's a sex offender.
Just an educated guess since she is over there with her parents and Grandmother.
I was pointing out that he seems so far not to be papped with his niece not because I think he's a sex offender, take your mind out of the gutter.
Guilt: remember babygate? It was his fandom that created that and IMO created Cuntara's obsession with his online fandom but that's another story.
I think he feels that pics if him alone with his niece will get more of a squee thing going and exploited then him with her and the whole family, geez.
And do you know what? When I got my camera out, he flinched.
Why is he smiling then?
He is smiling, if he was wary we would see it, there are enough pictures of him with that look.
Why is he smiling then?
Maybe the blogger is wrong and Jake didn't notice the camera?
People Hugely Misfires With Chace Crawford
So…People named Chace Crawford its Hottest Bachelor. Give us a girlie-looking break! People is really on our sh-t list right now. All they focus on anymore is the "hotness" that is Gyllenspoon coffee breaks, and now—for an issue that has the chance to completely ooze with sex—they pick a frontman who is so dang pretty and boring, there's nothing steaming about him. Where's Chace's string of lady conquests, Ã la George Clooney? Isn't that what a bachelor is supposed to be—handsome, delicious and out of your league?
This mag used to get it right, pre the media-mainstream Matthew McConaughey days, picking the likes of Johnny Depp, Jude Law and young Brad Pitt to grace its covers. Those were real men.
To me it doesn't matter if he's smiling or not, what matters is that he is still in Europe with his family and NOT with the Chin. I hope he spends the entire summer over there with his family and away from Witherbeard. Hopefully this is the beginning of the "break up" of Reeke.
Dear Ted:
What would George Clooney say to Adam Lambert if they met?
—Bi Curious
Dear Odd Couple:
Loved you on American Idol? George isn't afraid of a little gay! That's why we love him.
Jake has a career, his family vacation in Euorope will be over soon.
Now that the family vacation home in MV is up for sale, the Gyllenhaals sans Papa are having their little family vacation now.
He wil be in DC soon, he has nothing to do at the moment.
BTW he looks horrid in that pic and i do believe he wears that dumb hat because he is going bald.
"and i do believe he wears that dumb hat because he is going bald."
LOL. Bullshit.
"Now that the family vacation home in MV is up for sale, the Gyllenhaals sans Papa are having their little family vacation now."
Gyllenhaals can afford to rent a MV house, or any other holiday house, when they feel like it.
"he has nothing to do at the moment"
At the moment? Jake doesn't work since mid-December.

BTW he looks horrid in that pic and i do believe he wears that dumb hat because he is going bald.
Going bold or not, Jake needs a new hat for the summer time.
^^^ bald
Jake's hair looks fine to me :)
What's next for T.R. Knight?
Now that he's hanging up his Grey's Anatomy scrubs, I'm told Mr. Knight is in a New York state of mind.
"He wants to get to New York and do theater," a source said, "but there are no done deals yet."
Back in March, it was reported that he took part in a reading for a Broadway revival of Lend Me Tenor directed by Stanley Tucci and also including Alfred Molina, Tony Shalhoub, Jan Maxwell and Marian Seldes.
As I was the first to report, Knight is saying bye-bye to Grey's Anatomy after he asked to be let go because he was unhappy with his diminished presence on the show.
Knight appeared opposite Patti LuPone in a 2001 revival of Noises Off as well as in the 2003 production of Tartuffe. He last appeared on the New York stage five years ago off-Broadway in the drama Boy.

FRANKENSTEIN'S BRIDE GETS SEX APPEAL
BRIAN Grazer is remaking "The Bride of Frankenstein," but this time, the female monster is going to be a babe. "She'll be young. They're looking for a person with great power and sex appeal," a Hollywood insider told us.
"Someone along the lines of Scarlett Johansson or Anne Hathaway." In the 1935 original, the frizzy-haired bride was played by bug-eyed English actress Elsa Lanchester. The new Universal Pictures/Imagine Entertainment version, first disclosed by The Hollywood Reporter, will be helmed and co-scripted by Neil Burger, who wrote and directed "The Illusionist."

FAMILY GUY PENN HAS PUZZLING MOVES
HOLLYWOOD is stunned and perplexed by Sean Penn's recent moves. After recon ciling with his long-suffering wife Robin Wright Penn (for the second time in 18 months), Penn canceled two movie projects and announced he's putting his career on hold to spend more time with his family. The Oscar winner pulled out of "Cartel," about a man who goes to Mexico to protect his son after a drug gang murders his mother. He also nixed playing Larry in "The Three Stooges" with Jim Carrey as Curly and Be nicio Del Toro as Moe. As Cindy Adams reported yesterday, some think Natalie Portman is to blame. Though the beauty, 27, denied she and Penn, 48, were ever an item, they were reported hanging out together at a West Hollywood bar two weeks after Penn filed for a legal separation in April. So some speculate Penn went back to his wife after Portman broke his heart.

Today is my day to work from home, so I put the TV on in the background, and flipped the channel guide a few times. Up turned Josh and Sam, a Jake movie I had never seen and just starting to boot, so I watched. Granted he was 12 or 13 at most when he made it, and it's a very small part, but the interesting thing is that most of his role was to harass his step brother for possibly being a homosexual. What a message to learn so early. By that age he would have been aware of his own attraction to males.
All of the honorees from film and television were present, with actors from their projects presenting them. Ang Lee ("Brokeback Mountain") was introduced by the quiet, softspoken Heath Ledger and the charming and gregarious Jake Gyllenhaal. They talked about what an honor and a privilege working on the film had been and how Ang's direction helped them grow as actors. When Heath and Jake introduced him, they both started to tear up and gave the director hugs when he reached the stage. The soft-spoken director took a moment, looked back at them with a smile, turned to the audience and said, "I don't know, guys. That felt kind of gay to me."
Talk about exploding a stereotype! We must have laughed for five solid minutes!
There was joke after joke about "Brokeback" all evening, and not a single one was derogatory or mean-spirited. That's entertainment.

Jake and Reese have a similar movie project. Interesting.
pharm girl Reese
What's interesting?
"The project [comedy] concerns a woman who gets a job at a pharmaceutical powerhouse and begins to see the underbelly of the industry as she rises through the company's ranks.
The modern pharmaceutical industry has played a villainous role in a number of Hollywood pics, among them "The Fugitive." Several years ago it was at the center of a conspiracy in the thriller "The Constant Gardener."
Jake's and Anne's as well as Reese's are about the pharmaceutical industry.
I see, but why would that be interesting or significant?
^^IDK, maybe it's not.

Yay!

The problem with gay, Jew and some other jokes - there's a thin line between a joke and an insult.

And,yet, the HW people are their most important customers.
btw, nice gesture of Anne/Jake/Reese doing films about prescription drugs after what happened w/ Heath

Ungrateful customers.

Q: What do you call a gay Jew?
A: A Heblew.
We still don't know if Jake has actually gotten that part in the pharma movie.
We still don't know if that pharma movie rumour is true at all!
We don't give a shit about chin's movies and hope that Jake and Anne will start filming soon.
I'm filming a movie soon?
Yes, darling, you are.
Don't worry, I'll give you a call and explain everything you need to know.
Dear Ted:
Who do you think will tie the knot first, Ryan and Abbie or Jake and Reese?
—smj
Dear Race to the Altar:
I doubt Ryan's into Abbie for keeps. Certainly not anymore. Gyllenspoon will walk down the aisle before Ry and Ab do, and that's saying something.

Dear Ted:
I know you can't be too specific with your descriptions of Toothy Tile, but can you say what his age range is? 20-30, 30-40, over 50?
—Al
Dear Aged Whine:
Nice try. Toothy's of legal age for everything.
Is Ted a "Gyllenspoon" believer now?? the turns of life, i guess....
No.
Ted said that Ryan isn't serious about Abbie ("certainly not anymore"), and that there is even less chance of Ryan and Abbie marriage than Reeke ("and that's saying something").
I doubt Ryan's into Abbie for keeps. Certainly not anymore.

Back in 2005, sometimes pop star and golden shower lover Ricky Martin told Barbara Walters, "I think that sexuality is something that each individual should deal with in their own way. And that's all I have to say about that." It certainly didn't help all that gay speculation! Four years later, it appears Martin, who's been out of the public eye for a bit, doesn't really care.
He tells Spanish-language TV Aqui magazine that "'his heart could belong to a woman or a man." Of course his publicist could always backtrack and say he was referring to his two twin baby boys (born via surrogate).
Queerty
Dear Ricky,
Do it right or don't do it.
Ted's latest missive about Reeke is a scream. You rock, Ted!
He tells Spanish-language TV Aqui magazine that "'his heart could belong to a woman or a man.
Queerty comment:
Actually, he said (in Spanish and in response to the question "to whom belongs Ricky Martin's heart?"): "Ricky Martin's heart? Look, um, whether (my heart) has or does not have a (male or female) owner I've never talked about that topic, so yeah…"
So, it's not exactly saying it could have a male or female owner, but rather an outright refusal to address the question. In fact, by saying "dueño o dueña", adding dueña as a qualifying statement or afterthought to the initial phrase "(male) owner" may have been his way of saying that his heart does not have a male owner.
He's an Anderson Cooper when it comes to these things. And if he hasn't said it by now, the likelihood is that he won't ever declare his sexual identity.
"Look, um, whether (my heart) has or does not have a (male or female) owner I've never talked about that topic, so yeah…"
Poor Ricky.
GLAAD is concerned about Sacha Baron Cohen's depiction of homosexuality in Brüno:
"We have very mixed emotions about the movie," says GLAAD's Rashad Robinson. "Those of us who saw the film agreed that you can't critique it as a single film because it's more like 90 minutes of individual sketches. Some are funny and hit their mark but others hit the [gay] community instead." GLAAD is asking for a bit where a baby is sitting in the same hot tub where two men are having sex be cut. "As someone who sat at the back of a focus group audience outside of Los Angeles, I felt they were laughing at us at times." [E!]
^^I'm glad someone finally brought this up. The previews seemed a bit homophobic and racist. I can't believe this stuff is considered funny.
Seems Jake is in DC.
And is it possible GLADD is trying to distract us from the fact GLAAD is still planning to appear at the Democractic fundraiser next week rather than withdraw in protest over that brief filed last in support of DOMA.
I have no problems with Sacha is doing, I think his in your face, outrageous style forces people to confront their unrealistic fears.

A scream, how so? Please explain.
'Seems Jake is in DC.'
Back to work then for poor old Jakey, let's hope he enjoyed his time off.
Shall we do a countdown before the first 'coffee run' pics appear.
mmm...I don't think is going to be a coffe run this time, it will be a "training" photo op,IMO
They are going to look like shit together, in any way....
btw, nice gesture of Anne/Jake/Reese doing films about prescription drugs after what happened w/ Heath
I was thinking the same. Although it could be just a coincidence...
Just how is Heath's death related to pharmaceutical companies? They didn't prescribe them. I think it's just a coincidence these stars are involved. Pharma companies, for all their faults, do a great service for mankind, overall.
Noone was more upset than I was about the loss of Heath, but his death was a terrible accident, it's not the fault of the drug companies or anyone else.
3:05, true it was a terrible accident. Who would have thought that six pills will kill a strong, healthy 28 year old man? It was bad luck, I guess.
"Noone was more upset than I was about the loss of Heath"
No doubt his parents’, friends’, fans', etc. pain was nothing compared to yours.
^^Anyone with common sense would have thought 6 pills would kill someone. I don't know what our darling was thinking at the time.
3:14, yes, I realize that. I was speaking as a fan of his. I don't equate myself with his family and friends. Do you spend your day picking apart people's sentences and taking them way too literally and seriously? Get a life.
I personally was surprised to hear that 6 differnet pills could kill such a young and healthy fellow. I'd understand a dozen or so would be lethal, but six...
"Seems Jake is in DC."
How do you know this? Are you the same poster who claimed that Jake was Tennessee this week?
It could really be that some people underestimate the effects of mixing pills.
Pain killers, sleeping medications, and antidepressants are very powerful drugs. Any drug is powerful and can have dangerous consquences if not taken according to prescribed directions. Even one of these, nevermind six. Anything that works on the central nervous system, that controls your breathing, should clue you in.

He was seen with Reese on set and at "Dean and Deluca" in DC (according to twitter).
^ It doesn't mean it's true, twitter is full of bullshit sightings.
What if a person uses anti depressants and has an injury and needs to take painkillers too? I've made the experience that doctors don't always ask what pills you are already on, they just prescribe.
"It could really be that some people underestimate the effects of mixing pills"
from my part, i never thought that only six pills taken with hours between were so dangerous.
Remember that heath took them with hours appart...
shit, i'm crying again
:(
3:42 PM, I think he didn't inform himself well and "just" had bad luck. :(
^^I agree, it's very sad, and shouldn't have happened. I also agree that people severely underestimate the effects of mixing pills, I think our society is too "pill happy", demanding a quick fix and a pill for everything. The doctors ultimately prescribe these things, and they are not babes in the woods dealing with pharma salesmen, IMO. Maybe if the companies are guility of anything, it's over zealous selling, and doing things to gain a competitive edge that the FDA frowns upon, but the doctors ultimately are the ones that accept, and the high price of marketing drugs leads to high prices for consumers, but in the long run, the development of drugs is a benefit to mankind.

The chin and chin's movie in development have nothing to do with Heath.
Please don't try to make up things "connecting" Heath and the chin in any way.
Pretty please.
soft stomach, 3:51?
^^IA 3:49 PM.
"The chin and chin's movie in development have nothing to do with Heath.

I second this. Whoever is trying to make up things "connecting" Heath and the chin needs to stop.
I third it. nauseating enuff to think that JBG is in noxious DC where the Potomac runs yellow because everybody pisses in it with the noxious Chin. its enuff to give anybody acid indigestion for life.
^^Me too!
I think these movies are going to be comedies anyway, they're not going to be like Michael Clayton?
they also poop in the Potomac.
Anne confirms she's going to work with Jake.
The View
^^^ Anne talks about playing a girl who poses as a boy in Twelfth Night, the Judy Garland biopic, and her upcoming project with Jake Gyllenhaal.
Yay! It seems she has a lot of great projects coming up. :)
Now don't get me wrong, I'm certainly not adverse to seeing a movie of Reese's, but trying to connect it to Heath? We know BS when we see it. :(
LOL @ this woman confusing Joaquin with Jake.
Good move on Jake's managers. A romantic comedy with Anne, the actress whom he played gay with. Now after this new movie, he'll reforse his straight image.He is not going to be Anne Hathaway's gay husband anymore,he is going to be her straight lover!!
Good point 4:33 PM.
Jake will ALWAYS be Anne's gay BBMt husband, too. Nothing can change that.
"Good move on Jake's managers. A romantic comedy with Anne, the actress whom he played gay with. Now after this new movie, he'll reforse his straight image.He is not going to be Anne Hathaway's gay husband anymore,he is going to be her straight lover!!"
It makes me sick.
Why?
Jake played gay characters only twice, all others were straight. How will this be different from Proof, for example?
It makes me sick.
what?
"Anne talks about playing a girl who poses as a boy in Twelfth Night, the Judy Garland biopic, and her upcoming project with Jake Gyllenhaal."
The weirdness of Jake?! FUCK!
Lady, I am not Joaquin Phoenix! Fuck!
Jake played gay characters only twice
??? Which character? I only know BBM
Bubble boy was gay??!!
"what?"
Jake's further distancing from the gay and BBM. Obviously that's what this is.
Jake played gay only once, in BBM.
Pilot from "Highway" is gay.
Jake played gay only once, in BBM.
I thought so. It was Heath who played gay on his beginings, back on Australia.
Pilot from "Highway" is gay.
^^
In which part???
Which part? Being in love with his friend played by Jared Leto.
Weren't both of them in love w/ Sema Blair? And when the character says he loves Jared letto?
"Weren't both of them in love w/ Sema Blair? And when the character says he loves Jared letto?"
No, Pilot was jealous of her.
You don't have to talk about love, you can show love - and Pilot did.
