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.

When I was younger I used to fall for those Brad Pitt (Thelma and Louise days) types. Now I look beyond looks. I guess I grew up.
4:57 Growing up doesn't mean you stop noticing good looking guys.
Besides, we are talking about ACTORS, not about people in our real lives...
it's ok being superficial on this subject ;))

IA. ;)
I've heard this phrase quite often regarding actors: "to be locked out the Oscar race" or "being out of Oscar run".
What does this mean?
I think it is impossible to look sexy and hot when you're in zombie mode and don't exude any confidence. That jaunty, look at me I'm a sexy gay man walk and I know you know smile he used to have has now been replaced with the look at me I'm an average joe, suburban, man-child who doesn't have a sexy bone in his body, that would be too gay.
Like Eddie Murphy when he thought he would receive the Oscar for Dreamgirls.
Then, some fucking distributor released "NORM" so ,Mr.Murphy was out of Oscar run. FOREVER, i have to add.
^^So, you say "out of Oscar run" means, they will never be considered for Oscar or cast in Oscar worthy movies again?
Yeah. But look at Ben Afleck, he is in and out all the time. Besides, Oscar awards are more about lobby and publicity than talent (IMO)

Yeah, oftentimes.
"Heath"
Gorgeous and very sexy. I think he was good in the sack too.

The peculiar story of literary lady Cantara Christopher and her relationship to famous father (and aspiring poet) Stephen Gyllenhaal continues. Last we left it, Christopher planned to tell all about her experience with Jake and Maggie's dad. She followed through!
In a pair of long, detailed emails, Christopher recounts how she came in to contact with Gyllenhaal and came to be the publisher of his volume of poems, Claptrap. Mostly it's just dry personal anecdotes, but there are a few interesting bits. Like the fact that Gyllenhaal freaked out when he finally realized just how famous his kids Jake and Maggie actually are:
"About two that afternoon Stephen called again, but this time I was around to answer the phone. "I tried to reach you this morning," he told me mournfully. "Look, something's come up. We, uh, we've just had a family conclave" — I swear he used the word conclave — "and we've come to a decision. We want you to remove all your references everywhere to Jake and Maggie."
A stony silence on my part, then, "O-kay..."
He pressed on. "The thing is, you don't realize what it's like for us here. It's insane! The kids can't go anywhere without being mobbed. It's like nothing we've ever seen before. Our friends, Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman, tell us it's like nothing they've ever seen before."
"It's cell phone cameras," I said. "It's the internet."
"No, it's not that," countered Stephen. "People are insane. When you've got people in this administration who can start an illegal war and rob the country of billions of dollars, you can see that everyone's gone insane. You know, right after the Oscars these people would come up to me and say things like, ‘Well, you've got it made now. Just put Jake in a movie and you can have any deal you want.' But you know what?" he paused, then intoned darkly and intensely, "I would rather starve in the streets than take that money! That's not my money. That's my children's money, and their children's children after them." He sighed and seemed to calm down. "So, the family just took a vote. I think I said something about that…?"
"I think so."
"We made a decision never to be photographed together in public ever again. The kids have got to be protected, you know."
Well, I did know two things. I knew that the "kids" were 25 and 28 years old, and that Maggie at the moment was in New York, as there was a paparazzo picture in one of the gossip websites that morning of her walking through Soho. I wondered if she had faxed her vote."
Though, removing all references to the kids in the book may have been hard, considering one of the poems was about his Brokebacking son:
Michael took them into the kitchen to read and when he came out again he was very grave. "I told you before that Stephen's a good poet. He's not. He is a great poet. I haven't encountered a poet with his vision in thirty years, not since — "
"Sylvia Plath?" I offered. "Anne Sexton?"
"Yes, Anne Sexton. Exactly." Michael understood why I had brought up her name — one of Stephen's poems from the earlier batch was called "Having Anne Sexton for Dinner".
"So it's confessional poetry. That's going to be a hard sell," I said. "Confessional poetry makes people uncomfortable. I think we should concentrate on his political poems. It would be a lot easier."
"I don't care about that," said Michael. "Listen. I see what he's doing, he's trying to put it all together. His past, his present. Everything's personal with him. Forget that political nonsense. That's nothing. It's the family. With Stephen, it's always going to come back to the family." He handed me one of the pages. "Read this."
I went over and sat in the corner chair and read it. It was a poem entitled "At 25".
When I was finished, I gave it back to Michael. He asked me how I liked it. I told him, "It's sort of awful because it's like reading someone's private letter. But it gives me an eerie feeling, like looking into a time machine. And it is beautiful. And it is sort of — all there."
"Yeah," said Michael quietly.
At this point, dear reader, I think I'm going to have to share with you one of Stephen's poems so you don't think Michael and I are complete lunatics.
At 25
a man now stand you
on roots no one can claim
as good as you
(pure born god-son
look at you anywhere
across the globe).
At birth you were blue
I witnessed you suck
that first breath in and turn
as white as snow on top
of Everest. Pure. Pure.
Goodness and Mercy.
Jumble of words my only
clue to give to you
for your mountain view
to burn the libraries
and burn us too
(all that's come
before you.)
Your (my side) grandfather's
head handed him
on a silver Salome platter (he knew
more than he could hold on to)
and your great grandfather
stumbled and I shamble
and out of the phoenix ash
of my/your ancestral men you flew
out of the John Baptist ash
you flew beyond the pebbles
in the Jordan where we, the men
before you wash our sad, sad feet
but not for naught — the truth
when sung soothes far beyond
all gold.
I remember your grandfather
(not sober) singing, weeping
in my high gliding stone dead
gothic church —
"A voice of one, crying
in the wilderness, prepare ye
the way of the Lord."
I remember holding you, screaming
with good rage in a Sea Ranch night.
Taking you outside under the moon
and the giant pines — screaming, screaming.
Holding you. I didn't know what else to do.
Kicking. Screaming with good rage
till you slowly trembled yourself into rest.
Forgive us, Lord, we know
not what we do.
Good rage. Burn us to the ground.
Good rage. So little good seems
to have come of John the Baptist
and what followed. Your grandfather
loved John the Baptist. Wept and sung
his words and went too easily
into their good night
which I won't do.
All these words and others too
are here for you, may they be true.
I hope you agree that this is a beautiful poem. But you see, it's also about Jake Gyllenhaal, and this was always going to be part of our problem.
Ha, exactly. He'll always be famous kids' dad! Not all the heavy-handed comparisons to Anne Sexton in the world can change that. Oh, and, ha, incidentally: Cantara had a bit of a crush oh Stephen:
"He was handsome, sandy-haired, tall — about an inch taller than Jake — wearing a tight white T-shirt that showed off his athletic build, and he was grinning a dreamy, boyish grin. How do I explain this? I was a little disappointed. From what I knew about Coppola and Spielberg and all those distant mysterious types called Hollywood directors, I'd held an image in my mind that Stephen, as well, was a short, dark, balding, bearded middle-aged man who wore a baseball cap backwards. When he and I talked on the phone, that's what I imagined he looked like, and it made me enjoy being a little in love with him."
Oh gods, where did the blood go bad??
If you're curious, the entirety of the missives can be read here.
Gawker
"his Brokebacking son"
?
Our friends, Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman, tell us it's like nothing they've ever seen before."
Of course he had to mention they are friends with Paul and Joanne. See how they like to be in the company of the cool gang? Now we know why Jake's like that.
If you're curious, the entirety of the missives can be read here.
"Then he asked me, "Are you married?" I said yes, for twenty-five years. He said he'd been married for twenty-eight. "We've got a couple of kids, you know about them?" Yes, I said. I wanted to gush about my favorite Jake film, ‘Donnie Darko', but he plowed on. "You know, Jake's in a movie soon." I knew it was ‘Jarhead' and told him. "Yeah," said Stephen, "Jake's been bulking up for that movie. His mother doesn't like it, but he's at that stage where boys like to rebel against their mothers. But don't worry, he'll come back to her."
A kiss between two male characters helped the British soap opera EastEnders bubble to the top of its slot on Friday evening, drawing an estimated 7.9 million viewers on BBC 1.
The controversial kiss is part of a new story line for the long-running soap in which Syed Masood, a Muslim played by Marc Elliot, struggles with his sexuality and faith. During Friday’s episode, Masood kissed openly gay character Christian Clarke, played by John Partridge.
According to unofficial figures reported in The Guardian, the kiss on Friday propelled EastEnders to an average of 7.6 million viewers and a 38% percent share between 8 and 8:30 p.m. The number of viewers peaked at 7.9 million in the final 15 minutes of the episode, when the kiss took place.
Last month, when the plotline was revealed, Muslim leaders attacked the direction.
"There's a lack of understanding of Muslims already and I think EastEnders really lost an opportunity to present a normal friendly Muslim character to the British public,” Asghar Bokhari of the Muslim Public Affairs Committee told the BBC.

And what's the varicose vein like nodules on his arm, is that sort of thing normal for a young man? (Meg)
IA but what's more troubling is his right hand, esp the thumb, in that pic. Blow it up to 200% or 400 %, his right hand is disfigured. Maybe its the lighting/lens/angle, maybe he injured it?
Alsao the other pic where he's half-smiling almost a smirk, he's not looking at Reese. I blew it up for the arm/hand and noticed he's looking the other way, to his upper right. Talk about disengaged.
Confession, I'm a freak about dental health, they don't have to look perfect cosmetically but be healthy. With Jake, maybe its the shadows but in the matchy-matchy pics his upper left side teeth look wonky. His right canine (tooth, not Atticus!) in the London park pic looks short or missing. Maybe he's going thru dental work right now, caps, implants, whatever. Maybe he had a fight with someone? (guys can be very physical in fights, gay or not), maybe IF he used steroids they did a number on his teeth/gums. ALL health problems/drug use shows up in the mouth, always.
For the people who have problems with their eyesight regardng Heath's looks, I suggest the movie Cassanova. That face, that bone structure, that body. Hell, look at him in tux at the 2006 Oscars.
If he had lived during the Renaissance, Rapheal would have painted him and Micheangelo would have sculpted him.
That face, that bone structure, that body. Hell, look at him in tux at the 2006 Oscars.

*Siiiiigh.* :) He's a gorgeous, sexy man, no question.
Heath was a big, beautiful, sexy beast of a man.
Oh Lord, was he ever. :P
It's amazing how similar Jake's life is to Jack Twist right now. This incredibly courageous man is being forced, by society, the industry and I suspect his family, to perform heterosexuality on a daily basis. Life has reduced Jake to a performing monkey or circus clown, complete with matching outfits for his beard. No wonder he wears that stupid fedora on a regular basis. I'd hide my face, too.
Jake Gyllenhaal travelled to Washington to visit his Reese and in doing so managed to wipe away her bitchface temporarily. Which is sad. Because I prefer bitchface Reese to sweetface Reese who likes baking cookies for the MiniVan. Ugh.
Strange.
You'd think bitchface would come out during her personal hours, when Reese is with her boyfriend in matching gym clothes off duty from filming rather than during her works hours on set.
It appears however to be the opposite. Reese's bitchface reveals itself when she's papped at work. Getting papped at work is like getting paid for 2 jobs but only putting the effort of 1. What's the problem?
Actually, I thought she looked bitchface in some of those matchy matchy pictures as well.
I noticed Jake's teeth looked off as well. I always notice teeth. Could be the steroids, or drugs. Meth ruins teeth.
People who met Heath said his sexual magnetism was off the charts. I worked with a guy who had it once. He was not even that good looking, just OK. Must have been his pheremones. After 30 minutes around him, every woman would be all over him.
I think with Heath was a combination of the total physical package which radiated a primal masculine sexual power enveloped by a sweet sensitivity and animated by an obvious intelligence.
Do you think Jake may have been a little attracted to Heath because he was so similar to Austin. Maybe Jake has a certain male type that he likes.
Of course the difference is that he truly loves Austin, and Heath was just a passing crush. The chemistry between him and Austin was so obvious, and you didn't see that with Heath.
ITA 11:21.
I know I may sound nuts, but I'm typing this anyway.
Does anyone else remember when some POP pictires came out and some person said they thought a scar on his chest looked like kidney replacement (they are in the front-people who donate it's in the back and a harder surgery). That would explain his visits to the medical center. He could've been going through Dialysis. He used to go several times a week. He also took long breaks and hid away. Could've been recovering. Now, he could be having side effects.
He could just have allergies. This year has been awful.
You didn't see chemistry between Jake and Heath? Are you serious? Jake's dick apparently didn't get the memo. I am sorry, but in some of those photos with Heath, he is just too obvious.
I've seen the photos of Jake with Austin, and I have never seen this special "chemistry" that people keep pointing out. I don't deny that they may have had sex, and I have seen the friendship, but I just don't see the great true romance.
There's more to chemistry than a dick. But I suspect you've never been in love and have no idea, otherwise you wouldn't be so fixated on linking Jake to a straight man who had no interest in him. Most of us agree Jake was attracted to Heath, but it takes more than one-sided lust to make a relationship. Takes more than two-sided lust for too.
"Most of us"? Please speak for yourself. One doesn't have to try to make up Jake's lust for Heath. He made that obvious. Who said anything about there being a relationship between Jake and Heath? I know that there was no relationship between Jake and Heath. But I believe that Jake would have gone for Heath, in a heartbeat, if Heath were available to him.
As for Austin, I just see friendship. If you have some concrete evidence of a ongoing romantic relationship, please tell us what that is. All I see are friends and possible fuckbuddies.
True love, not.
Yes 11:42, you sound nuts.
Jake tries to drown out the gay rumors.
"Of course the difference is that he truly loves Austin, and Heath was just a passing crush."
Do you live in Jake's head or heart? Unless you do, you have no idea how he feels/felt.
"Jake tries to drown out the gay rumors."
My pussy always wins. Fuck!
"Do you live in Jake's head or heart? Unless you do, you have no idea how he feels/felt."

Heath writes about Jake, June 26, 2006
Thanks 4:30 AM :)
I have just stopped over at the Addicted To The Movie Candy blog and forum. Have you seen that place. Really cool! I love that header with the swimming pool. Fascinates me how it looks like water. Very pertinent I think too.
I wanted to thank everyone who is registering there on the forum. This project is very dear and a lot of work but it means a lot to everyone involved. Good going on joining and helping.
I hope you are all well and happy.
I hope you enjoy Candy, I'm really proud of this film.
All is well and fine with me and mine and I hope the same for all of you.
Also, T asked me to address something that she says has become an issue. Yes Jake and I are really friends though neither of us gets why that is a deal and yes we see each other. You know how the press is, they never think we might just be having the same kind of friendship as anyone else, most of life is normal not a movie script and because they are not looking for the normal they don't even notice what happens right under their noses. Old Hollywood manufactured romances and friendships just don't exist past the movie set if at all. When told that it had become an issue I was really confused by it’s importance. But that's the press for you. If you can't say something nice, great you will sell more publications. It's so funny.
Hope you are well and happy.
Peace
Heath

"Heath writes about Jake, June 26, 2006 said..."
He sounds like a sweet guy.
I keep remembering how Jake talked about Heath in present tense (Ted and Lisa report).
*sigh*
It was a sad time when Heath passed and I feel for his family and friends mostly, but also for his fans. I think we talk and think about Heath more than Jake does. I think they were friends who kept in touch, but far from close friends. Would explain Jake's behaviour.
Also he seems all about Reeke at the moment. Did y'all notice the "he & her" outfit? *barf*
Also he seems all about Reeke at the moment.
Reese's PR team is trying to sell that bullshit for a long, long time.
7:26 AM, Reeke's PR loves people like you.
"Did y'all notice the "he & her" outfit?"
Did YOU read the last page of comments here, Just Jared, OMGodot, TMZ, Lainey, Washington Post, whatever else, about the "he & her" outfit? We did, like yesterday.

So about Jake in London's Princess Diana Memorial Park: Was he walking by, playing with kids on the ship, looking at the ship, being a pedo?

Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal doing the New York Times crossword together over breakfast yesterday morning at Georgetown's Le Pain Quotidien -- gym clothes, shades, baseball caps (Jake's with a Nats logo!). And then, hmmm, what do you know, they just happened to leave the paper behind ... and they filled it out in ink. And mostly got it right! The Monday puzzle, but still. The movie stars (she's shooting here) seem to have struggled with 57 Down, "Workplace watchdog org." (Answer: "OSHA"; a few more weeks in D.C. and they'll ace that stuff.)

Jake does kind of look like a pedo in that pic, hanging around a kid's playground pirate ship, wearing dark sunglasses, a Charlie-Chaplin-type hat, comical Groucho Marx eyebrows, his collar up all suspicious-like and attired in a colourful "Mr Rogers is in the neighborhood" kid-friendly plaid shirt. If it was rainy season he could have worn a trenchcoat and the pedo look would have been complete.

My god I hope he was wearing pants! Lift your hands so we can see them, Jake!

LOL!
Jake wearing fedoras so he can try out for Sinatra?! With those thick black rounded-arc eyebrows, more like Groucho Marx.
Fuck the desert and long flowing robes. I gonna make sure Prince of Persia 2 has ships and pirates and speedos and lotsa water and hard wet nipples!
Wet, tight speedos. Sounds heavenly!

Jake and Reese look like typical Americans with their outfits and baseball caps. Totally boring and ridic for young people like them.
In the end most here will be majorly disappointed when they find out that Jake's just one of many boring dudes. He should thank Ted for the TT stories, otherwise the interest in him would have faded much, much longer ago. Maybe some of his upcoming films will bring the public interest in him back though...
Prince and the Poppers
Whenever I see something about the DC trainwreck I keep thinking they mean Jake and Reese.
That's what we should call Reeke, wherever they are. "the London trainwreck" "the LA trainwreck" "the Ojai trainwreck" "the Farmers Market trainwreck" "the Dean & Deluca trainwreck" "the Starbucks trainwreck" "the Peets trainwreck" etc...
I don't want to stirr anything, but even though I used to be more of a Jake fan than Heath, I felt that with Heath, even though he was dating MW and had a kid, there was something off. I felt he was much more mysterious and darker than Jake.
Jake, I think it is entirely possible he and AN had something going on. Either that or Ted exaggerated what he saw. Who knows?
I think Jake admired Heath greatly. What did this guy say who saw them together at the Q & A? That Heath was the alpha dog on that shoot. I believed it, still do. He had this leader quality.
In all honesty, I think if you dug deep enough, you would find much more dark secrets about Heath than Jake. My instinct tells me that. But I hope no one digs anything up, Heath got a lot of shit after he passed away anyway.
My two cents.
"Fuck the desert and long flowing robes. I gonna make sure Prince of Persia 2 has ships and pirates and speedos and lotsa water and hard wet nipples!"
Too late, honey. Ya might wanna try farming.
Trainwreck Reeke, it fits, doesn't it. Jake was on the fast track to Stardom traveling on the Gay Rail and Reese was on her way to Nowhere with two attached trailercars and a big caboose after the divorce, who wanted to get hitched to that? Only the gay one, who needed a free ride. And look what happened.
I believe Heath was a complex, complicated man. And I think Jake's feelings for him go beyond "admiration." I think it may have been a case of unrequited love like a previous poster said. And I think it may explain some of his wacked behavior. I really do believe Heath's death messed with his head.
I agree Reese is an annoying brat, but she ain't that bad looking. She was actually very cute in Cruel Intentions.
9:07 AM, there's no way to know if Jake's feelings for Heath (or their feelings for each other) went beyond friendship and amiration (and a little attraction). And we'll probably never know.
I agree Reese is an annoying brat, but she ain't that bad looking.
Reese Witherspoon is fugly inside and out.
"...All is well and fine with me and mine and I hope the same for all of you..."
Pfff...right. I believe everything he wrote now
I agree Reese is an annoying brat, but she ain't that bad looking.
^^
I partly agree. It's not so much her looks (average,imo,but not entirely ugly) but her facial expressions.She doesn't look fine in casual pics

I hope it's true, not like that false Brothers UK release info.
A release date for Nailed? What, did they decide the film is so mediocre, they will just get it over with and release it with unfilmed scenes?
9:08 either you're blind, either you have very low standards..
Last week, Puerto Rican magazine TV Aqui published a tease on its cover and a Tweet claiming that Ricky Martin told them his heart could belong to a man or woman. That was just a lie intended to sell magazines, apparently (shock).
The same magazine runs an online poll asking readers "What do you think about Ricky's sexuality?" and breaks the options down as "He's all man", "He could be bisexual", "He could be homosexual" or "He has as put me in doubt?"
You mean that if Ricky Martin is gay or bisexual he is less of a man because of it? Or that people could doubt his manliness if he was?
Yup, that's TVaquà for ya! Using a supposed 'gay scoop' to draw readers and sending it around to gay sites to have them increase their traffic - at the same time the 'editors' call us less than men. UGH.

Trying to cleanse my brain of that crap, I went to the Miami Herald website this morning and it wouldn't let me in this morning unless I registered (again).
...
Speaking of the Herald, here's a post from Gawker on Executive Editor Anders Gyllenhaal's famous extended family. It's sort of interesting.

Nobody forced Jake. Jake is doing this for fame and money. To compare what Jake is doing to Jack Twist really cheapens the latter.
But I do agree he has become a circus monkey. I guess he can go work for Barnum's after his movie career dries up.

GLAAD asks Perez Hilton to apologize for anti-gay slurs against Will.i.am
The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation has asked Perez Hilton to apologize for slurs he hurled at Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas.
GLAAD was responding to a video posted by the celebrity blogger, whose legal name is Mario Lavandeira, in which Hilton gave his version of events after Will.i.am posted a video describing their recent confrontations at and after the MuchMusic Video Awards. Said Hilton in his video: "I made the split-second decision -- that I was gonna say what I thought was the worst possible thing that thug [Will.i.am] would ever want to hear" -- which was a handful of assorted F-bombs.
Rashad Robinson, GLAAD's senior director of media programs, said: "These are vulgar anti-gay slurs that feed a climate of hatred and intolerance toward our community. For someone in our own community to use it to attack another person by saying that it is, quote, ‘The worst possible thing that thug would ever want to hear,’ is incredibly dangerous. It legitimizes use of a slur that is often linked to violence against our community. And it sends a message that it is OK to attempt to dehumanize people by exploiting anti-gay attitudes.”
“We have reached out to Hilton and asked him to apologize for promoting this anti-gay slur, and we would ask media outlets to avoid repetition of the slur in their coverage of this story.”

Just possible? lol

While most of Hollywood seems to be racing towards having babies and adopting children and denying pregnancy rumors, Ellen DeGeneres and wife Portia de Rossi haven't caught the baby bug, and might never.
"No, I don't think we're going to have kids," Ellen tells AOL's Inside/TV when asked if they were going to be moms. " We have animals, and we love them. They don't talk back, and they don't explore their vocal chords out in public."
In addition, the newlyweds do have children in their life already, as Ellen explains they're brand new aunts.
"[Portia's] brother and his wife just had a baby girl who's a month old now, and it's fun to be a part of that. But no, I think, you know, we definitely thought about it. And it's something I think most people, as a relationship goes on, explore. But it's just a huge responsibility, and I don't know that that's something we want to take on. We're very happily married without children."
That 56 seconds was better than the entire Twilight movie.
Ay and lol!

Austin does an interview with E! - photo
Austin looks like he's going to admit everything :)
sexy & beautiful are not always in the same person.
Halle Berry: sexy & beautiful
Elisha Cuthbert: Sexy! not beautiful (but not ugly,of course)
Jessica Alba: beautiful face and nice body, but sexy?? She is so stupid and boring..
N.Portman: Are you kidding me? What the f*ck is so special about this bland/puberty body actress?

By the way, i do not think i'm a beauty.But i still like to criticize this egomaniac hollywood bitches ;)

Not bad ;)
What is so sexy about her according to you, 5:14 PM?

5 - Madeline Zima
6 - Adriana Lima
7 - Elisha Cuthbert
8 - Heidi Montag
9 - Anne Hathaway
10 - Katy Perry
15 - Angelina Jolie
17 - Natalie Portman
Megan Fox - awful creature.
Jessica Alba - same.
Heidi Montag - same.
I agree with Angelina, Scarlett and Anne.
Natalie has a pretty head, but she is not sexy. She has a 12 year old boys body. I think her nose is messed up too.
What is so sexy about her according to you, 5:14 PM?
I'm not 5:14, but Anne has an amazing body, esp. her boobs are fantastic. Her hair and lips are amazing too. She is is also intelligent and has charisma, this adds to her appeal.
Anne is not sexy.
Anne
Anne has a great body, beautiful skin, sexy mouth, kind eyes, nice hair, a pleasing personality.
^^If I was a straight guy, I'd totally prefer Anne.
Anne
Megan Fox - awful creature.
There are a lot of young and more beautiful actresses, but with zero sex appeal. Megan has it.
"Anne"
Oh c'mon! We talk about sexy not beautiful. With the right (amount) of make up, she can look very pretty though.
I like Anne but she's not sexy. She's too goofy looking.
Megan has it.
I think she's a cheap looking, dumb version of Angelina. But tastes are different. ;)
Anne and Jake have one thing in common - they can look goofy and they can look beautiful.
I think she's a cheap looking, dumb version of Angelina.
Yes, and she's still manages to be sexy.
Anne and Jake have one thing in common - they can look goofy and they can look beautiful.
Good observation!
"Anne and Jake have one thing in common - they can look goofy and they can look beautiful."
Jake can look beutiful, Anne not really.
Anne looking beautiful
Megan Fox - awful creature.
Jessica Alba - same.
Heidi Montag - same.
Heidi has a beautiful body.
5:43, Anne is posing there - right angles, lights, photoshop, etc. Still, she’s not beautiful. She’s pretty, talented and I like her personality but beautiful is beautiful and Anne ain’t it.
Maybe Anne isn't beautiful in the classic sense, but I bet her career will be longer than most of the others on the list.
Great pic of Annie:
Anne
Anne seems like a person people would love to hang out with.
Anne seems like a person people would love to hang out with.
True. I always laugh a lot when she does interviews.
Also, she doesn't complain about paparazzi so much like some stars do (non stop!), which annoys me since it's part of a very well paid, fun job. What I like too is that she supports gay rights.
I think she would be a good friend and a good catch for a straight guy. :)
Lucky me!
Jake said...
Lucky me!
Damn right. Anne's a pretty cool co star. ;)
I said that I was hoping Anne and Jake will become friends this time around, but now I hope not, I think she's too good for him. He can stick around with pretentious, fake people like Reese.
6:34, eh, she'd be MUCH better if she had a dick.
6:34, eh, she'd be MUCH better if she had a dick.
Who says she doesn't? Nice boobs and a dick... I'm sure Jake "the boob and peen man" would appreciate that. J/K. ;)
No One Is Perfect!
"the boob and peen man"
Jake, my man!!
Jake, my man!!
Seems, Anne has some competition. ;)
Pink is the new blog about Reeke:
LOL
In a nutshell - ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Gay as a bunny with an Easter basket. I know someone who worked for a private cab service in LA who told me Murphy would pick up trannies in the cab and get laid in the back seat.
In return for the driving around this guy got paid $500 in cash. Not bad.
Annie being a pretentious twat.
“I wake up in the morning,” she says, “and the first breath I take is in the devotion of acting.”
Oh Annie, do shut up.
Beautiful/sexy....isn't it nice that we all have different tastes.
Pretentious twats don't play Shakespeare in the Park. Can you imagine Jake doing something like that?
Anne:
The attention around Hathaway only grew when she got nominated for an Oscar for Rachel, and now she can’t really get a cup of coffee without the moment being recorded by someone with a long-angle lens. Some of the paparazzi, she says, have “the morality of a wild animal who eats its young.
“There are enough reality-TV stars out there who clearly want attention and fame,” she adds. “I personally don’t think they know what they’re getting into, but it’s a very human instinct. I never wanted to be famous. I just wanted to act. So it’s very odd. Here I am doing something that’s a real actor thing to do and I’m being treated like a celebrity. I was going to take this year off from being a celebrity!”
Which is not to say she dislikes the fame, the glamour, the glitz. Remembering the Academy Awards ceremony, she exclaims, “It was like, Oh my God! I’m that girl! And I’m 26! I’m that girl! I’m sure for people who’ve been nominated multiple times there are more complicated feelings about what it all means, but I was like, You know what? I’m going to focus on the fairy-tale part of it. I’m just going to live in the stardust and the sparkle.” When Natalie Portman congratulated her on the red carpet, Hathaway’s response was “Who are you, you awesome creature of wonderfulness?”
Guess Anne is not too fond of paparazzi either. ;)
"Who are you, you awesome creature of wonderfulness?"
Wow, what a compliment!
^^I think I'm in the minority who thinks Natalie isn't all that. There was a perfume ad with Natalie and Michelle W. and everyone was gushing how beautiful Natalie is, but I found Michelle prettier.
In my private life most of the guys and gals I know think Natalie is drop dead gorgeous and I'm always like "I don't see it!"
Maybe my eyes aren't ok. LOL.
Natalie has a very high forehead, I think that is unattractive. Nothing special about her. Not a pleasant voice, either. She doesnt seem to be especially articulate, in interviews. Despite the fact that she has a BA from Harvard in psych. Unlike our bud who oughtta go back and get a degree in something useful, maybe carpentry.
Why do you suppose that Anne seems to have really taken off now, moreseo than Michelle, even though both gave critically acclaimed performances this past year? Is it just that Anne has made herself for visible, or it it the boost from the award she won? Just interested in some thoughts on why Anne seems to be much hotter than Michelle right now.

I noticed that too.

LOL. His sister Maggie seems to be by far more intelligent and articulate than him.
While I am asking for thoughts on career projectories, does anyone know of any info./rumor about why, following BBM, Heath seemed to have no problem finding roles or lacked for film offers, even during his self-impossed time off, whereas that didn't seem to be the case for Jake. Heath was actually turning down all kinds of roles, whereas Jake wasn't being showered with the same kind of offers. Although, to be fair, people weren't exactly knocking down Anne or Michelle's doors during this time.
Is it just timing or the right starring role? Anne only seems to be coming into her own now (which is one of the reasons I think it's premature to write Jake off).

I think Anne is a very versatile and talented actress and she can be cast in many different roles. Michelle is a good actress, but very limited IMO. First previews for "Shutter Island" say the movie and DiCaprio's performance are great, but that Michelle disappoints. I think she's good for indi flicks in roles that suit her.
(which is one of the reasons I think it's premature to write Jake off).
Why would anyone write Jake off? He's still young and showed in a couple of roles that he can be really good. "Rendition" script was one of the best reviewed and it attracted fresh Oscar winner RW and the ever great Meryl Streep among others. It was just bad luck that the director messed the movie up.
Heath, thanks to his talent and versatility, deserved all the great offers among them "Tree of Life" with Sean Penn which he turned down to presumably direct his first film "Queen's Gambit". :(
Bottom Line: I think Jake's career will be fine. :)
8:51 PM, did you know that way before the boys did BBM, Heath was offered the Spiderman role (that Jake wanted) and turned it down?
Wow, Spiderman?! I love Heath, but I am glad he recognized that wasn't for him and turned it down.
Ironically, I think Heath would have been too "masculine," too much of a stud, for that role.
Rendition was a piece of shit and Jake was horrible in it--ditto for his girlfriend. Remember her awful screech. Tell me he's ALRIGGHHHHTTT!
Like fingernails across a blackboard.

LOL, it wasn't a pleasant sound.
Gotta love the "never corroborated" line...
The rumor floating through the ballroom during the evening was that actors Reese Whitherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal were attending, which is never corroborated, although at one table sat Angelina Jolie's brother, James Haven.
It's almost always "never corroborated. lol!

^^Reeke are like the big stars, power couple there now and everyone wants them for their event. Yawn.
What power couple? LOL

Sad news from Ted. Ted's cat Butch has passed away.
Goodbye Sweet Butch
Word was that Jake was holding out for too much money after Brokeback. He had offers, but no takers at his price.
"Reeke are like the big stars, power couple there now and everyone wants them for their event."
bullshit!!
"Reeke are like the big stars, power couple there now and everyone wants them for their event."
Very true, not bullshit at all. All the good entertainers like Leno, Letterman and Conan are expensive and booked up anyway, and Reeke is always available for cheap. Invite them, promise lots of paps and they show up and everyone laughs. Everybody wins!
comment from "Atticus" from Ted's Goodbye Sweet Butch about his cat passing on:
Atticus
*hopes Butch reincarnates into a neighborhood cat so they can compare notes*
another Atticus comment:
*prays he and reincarnated Butch meet, have hot malemale catdog sex, fall in love, have an interspecies marriage and give Toothy and Ted their worst nightmare, become inlaws and grandparents to catdogsurrogatekids*
*hopes Butch reincarnates into a neighborhood cat so they can compare notes*
:)
Great comments from Atticus. Poor Butch, I'm sure he had a great life with Ted and Jon.
prays he and reincarnated Butch meet, have hot malemale catdog sex
I know that Atticus is gay, but I had no idea he's kinky! :)
