I Dish, Therefore I Am


On March 10, 2005, gossip columnist Ted Casablanca ran an item online under the heading "One Adorable Blind Vice".

The story was similar to numerous blind items Casablanca has run since bringing his column, "The Awful Truth," to E! Online in 1996. He relates a potentially scandalous story, usually with the kinds of revelations a major media gossip columnist would avoid, but disguises the object of his gossip behind a fanciful name like Morgan Mayhem, Furrowed Frank or Toothy Tile.

The ongoing saga of Toothy Tile says a good deal about Internet gossip, its place within the gay community and its function as a moral compass. It also points to some interesting intersections of gossip and gendered performance.

Hollywood gossip, of course, was around long before the Internet. Usually dated from the start of Louella Parsons' syndicated column in 1925, the field has traditionally been female-dominated, with Parsons and her chief rival, Hedda Hopper, engaged in an often-uneasy power struggle with the movie industry. The film studios used them to promote their films and personalities but also dreaded the effect of a personal attack or untimely revelation. One unwritten rule, however, was that the most damaging items — criminal arrests, long-term affairs and homosexuality — were not for publication in any but the least reputable venues. Parsons, Hopper and most of Hollywood may have known that Ramon Novarro was gay, but they weren't about to publish the fact. And if a writer broke the rules — as Bill Robinson did when he wrote about Spencer Tracy's drinking problems and his relationship with Katharine Hepburn in a 1962 issue of Look — the offender was cut off from industry sources.

Even with the decline of the studio system, some restrictions still hold. Unless a star's drug use is impossible for the media to ignore, it's kept out of the gossip columns. And "outing" is still considered off-limits, at least to columnists working in the major media.

For the gay on-line community, gossip serves a variety of purposes. If nothing else, it provides its readers with a sense of titillation as they vicariously enjoy celebrities' lives, even when the object of interest is masked behind the veil of the blind item. Like many on-line discussion boards, gay gossip sites provide their geographically dispersed users with a sense of community.

One element unifying gossip communities is a shared sense of morality. Gay gossip unites the gay and lesbian community by establishing behavioral norms for that community, creating insiders aware of those norms and outsiders unaware of or opposed to them.

In the case of Toothy Tile, the nature of those norms depends on whether one is inside or outside the gay community. Within the world of heteronormativity, Toothy Tile is at fault both for being gay and, more important, for wishing to make a public proclamation of that fact.

Despite the social changes of the past 50 years, the entertainment industry appears to be dealing with sexual orientation by the same standards in operation when Universal Pictures forced Rock Hudson to take a wife to forestall suspicions of homosexuality. The current attitude is described quite simply in one publicity-shy, or rather gay-publicity shy actor's legal complaint against a porn star who had claimed a relationship with him: "While plaintiff believes in the rights of others to follow their own sexual preference, vast numbers of the public throughout the world do not share his view and, believing that he had a homosexual affair and did so during his marriage, they will be less inclined to patronize [his] films, particularly since he tends to play parts calling for heterosexual romance and action adventure. " No doubt, these are the same audiences who would expect the actor to know how to pilot a jet fighter in real life.

Who, then, is thought to be the perpetually closeted Toothy Tile? Consensus gives the honor to Jake Gyllenhaal.

So, what team is Jake playing for? How many beards do you see in this picture? And...well, do I really have to say anything.

Posters on Oh No They Didn't have even uncovered 16 clues within the Toothy Tile stories they say point to Gyllenhaal.

2005-07-28

1. TT's dimples and bright smile = When Ted mentions Jake by name in other parts of his column, he includes a reference to Jake's pearly whites or dimples.
2. Marble table = Basix Café has them and where Jake was mentioned being at in Ted's column a week before the TT Saga began.
3. Superpopular, superannoyingly perfect famous girlfriend with dimples = Kirsten Dunst
4. Gusty speed racer = Jake was taught to drive by Paul Newman on a racetrack.
5. Rocketing & Rocket to Pluto = October Sky
6. "Right smack between Mr. Bloom and Mr. Wood" = The letter J is exactly spaced in between letter E and O. Also, Orlando is older and Elijah is younger than Jake, another middle reference.
7. Up-and-comer in the movie-idol biz = Day After Tomorrow, Jarhead, Brokeback Mountain.
8. Tobey M = dated Kirsten before she started dating Jake. Jake almost replaced Tobey for Spiderman 2.
9. James Franco = worked with Kirsten Dunst and Tobey, who looks similar to Jake, in Spiderman 1 & 2.
10. Jared Leto = worked with him in Highway.
11. Loves his ex-gf = Still seen around with Kirsten, even though they're not official anymore.
12. Adam Brody = close in age
13. Ashton Kutcher = older than Jake
14. Hayden worked with Jake on a the play This Is Our Youth a few years ago.
15. Geographic location = Jake was born and raised in L.A. The O.C. is directly below L.A.
16. The "fake butt hounding" line sounds like a direct lead to Brokeback Mountain

JAMES FRANCO TAKES A POETIC TURN

JAMES Franco has literary cred. The star, who's a grad student at both Columbia and NYU, will help launch the summer Travel issue of Lapham's Quarterly tonight at the Hungarian Cultural Center by reading, along with poet Frank Bidart, from works by the likes of Marcel Proust, Elizabeth Bishop, Marco Polo and Homer. The magazine's assistant editor, Jeannie Vanasco, told Page Six, "I met James through the brilliant writer Matthew Specktor . . . I threw out the idea of James recording passages of Lapham's Quarterly for us to post on our Web site. We met up at Columbia's radio station, where he spent an hour recording passages by Jack Kerouac, Leo Tolstoy and Benjamin Franklin, and another hour talking about poets only poets know of -- Eleanor Wilner, for example. I then threw out the idea of him reading at our next salon . . . James is a genuine guy, doing all this because of a real love for literature."

Remember the TT Cocaine BV from Jake's birthday 2008? It was about TT trying to show his public (and "public" was put in italics for emphasis by Ted) he could have sex with a female. Now, how could he show the public that?! Not unless it was a sex tape.........or the "public" was people who were there, either part of a threesome or a foursome, people who would notice if Jake would/wouldn't participate and who would gossip about it either way. A threesome or a foursome with his 2 best buddies..Jake at the time was trying to imply he was straight, and he was certainly single and he was no HW hung-up born-again saving sex for marriage so there was no reason he should refuse a little brotherly amigo fun with a willing groupie ho. The AIA was the Jonas Bros. You know, the 3 Jonas Bros, like the 3 Amigos. Yeah.....and put the initials of all 5 together and it lines up alphabetically perfectly: Joe, Kevin, Lance, Matthew, Nick. JKLMN.

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.

Look at Anne's or Reese's IMDB filmography, how many projects they have lined up. Michelle has nothing. I think it's also about being able to put bums in seats, which Michelle can't. All three ladies are talented, I'll give Anne the edge though, but public appeal is also important.

Jake is channeling Raymond Burr. Jake proves that for top male stars looking for lucrative franchises, Hollywood has not changed since the fifties and sixties. Like a good Chanel suit, fabricated romances and bearding arrangements never go out of style. Gossip rags will areas the stories fed to them by the studios, and idiotic fans will buy the rags. Unfortunately for Jake, the studios and top notch directors are buying it and have locked him out of the juicy dramatic roles. If it weren't for Disney and Anne Hathaway, he'd be in a whole heap of trouble right now.

I was pretending to text on my BlackBerry as I oh-so-casually strolled across the bridge...and almost plowed straight into Jake Gyllenhaal! He was waiting outside Reese's trailer -- shorter than he ever appears, but also very good looking. And polite. He didn't even glare at me when I apologized for nearly crashing into him. A minute later, Paul Rudd walked out of his trailer -- also very good looking!

I have to admit to my fantasy regarding Heath and Jake. I always hoped that once Heath finished the journey he seemed to be on to pulling it back together emotionally and physically after the breakup with Michelle, he would go on to direct his first flick and give Jake a part in it. Once he got Jake on set, you would sit his ass down and "straighten" him out (so to speak). Heath wouldn't have to worry about the midget's presence or interference because Jake would never let that pap loving fraud anywhere near Heath. Heath would never tolerate that shit. Heath would have the time and isolation needed to "deprogram" Jake.

I am not saying Jake would come out, but he could learn to handle it more like Clooney does, with some good humor, grace and ambiguity, instead of pushing an image that is not him at all. And go back to focusing on his career and letting his work speak for him.

Sigh, now it will never ever be anything but a fantasy.

"...the friction...," maybe little jake was feeling chafed and just wanted Heath to rub him and make it all better.

Standing outside of the trailer? Witherspoon wouldn't even let him in out of the humid, hot DC weather? How pathetic!

Who in the right mind would want to be in chin's trailer?!

O poor Jake, he is SO not into her, the Chin. It's pathetic to watch. She must be brain damaged to be able to humiliate herself in this way. I suppose its all "for the children's sake" - or so she says. She's probably been programmed by her fat mom.

That’s a nice thought. I do think Heath would have had a positive influence on Jake artistically and personally. I also think Jake would’ve listened to him, he seemed to admire and respect him a lot.

I’d love to see Jake coming out but at this point Jake not bearding is the most I could hope for. I hate seing him making a fool of himself with this Reeke shit.

Because Heath is dead. Bringing him up constantly makes me feel very sad. And I feel it is very disrespectful of him.

That's why.

I don't agree at all. Their relationship (whatever relationship it was)is still interesting to many people and they discuss it, even here. Sorry that you see it differently.

Anonymous said...

I think Jake greatly admired Heath. That's why if Heath sat his ass down, and told him this is not the way to go, I think Jake would listen. All of the other male actors/friends in Jake's life seem too willing to play the game, and not in a way that would be of benefit to Jake.

Thinking a relationship is real is not the same as thinking it's healthy or enhancing.


If he had lived, I could not imagine Heath and his current in a photo op with Reeke. Despite his shyness, I always got the impression that Heath could be intimidating if he wanted to be.

For once, if Jake had to chose between Heath's wishes and the midget's, the man would win.

Just my take.

No, i think he was insecure and a little bit paranoid. He was comfortable enough in general.

And for the ones who said he "rejected" the Spiderman role. The truth is he was so nervous that he screwed up the audition, that's why he didn't get the part

Better that way, IMO. He was too good to waste his talent on those crappy movies

This is the part of the post that started this which I think some people missed. Most of us know Heath had some issues, but from all of the reports I read he was in the process of pulling his life back together on a personal level, and he was certainly firing on all cylinders on a professional level. He was in demand as an actor, he had started an artist collective, he was getting ready to direct, etc. I believe Heath was poised to truly set things on fire.

And Heath, the man, was known to have a temper also.

In case it's real, as real as it could be, I'd agree with your POV.

Yelling at the papz is no indication of having "a temper".

When life started to get a little rough on him, he felt appart.

Good actor, but as a man, he was nothing but a baby boy

Wrong. Heath screwed up the audition for The Patriot but still got the part. He turned down the Spiderman role (google it if you don’t believe me), but I agree that he was too good for that crap.

Heath was very capable as actor and showed potential to be a good director too. He seemed to be a nice and respected guy, but there's no denying that he had some issues/problems.

Anonymous said...

Heath didn't "fall apart." He went through an emotional down period, like alot of people do, but he was pulling through it. He was also dealing with very bad insomnia, and very bad back pain which can be crippling.

Heath said he was shy. He also said that he needed to learn to control his temper better.

I am not sure how any of this makes him a "baby boy."

4:27 PM, you're absolutely right, it was The Patriot audition that Heath screwed up, not Spiderman. Roland Emmerich, the director of DP said:

“Heath did blow that first audition,” remembers Emmerich, whose directing credits include Independence Day and Godzilla. “But you felt in the room, when he walked in, that everybody was kind of immediately straightening up and saying, ‘Who is this guy?’ … And he has quite an effect on women. Dean and I had a lot of women in our company. There was this thing going on with all the women rooting for Heath. Every one of them came into my office and said, ‘Please cast Heath!’ I’d go, ‘What’s wrong with you girls? It’s about acting first of all.’ But they were all in love with him.

There were reports that he got his act together in the last couple of months before he passed. At least he was doing better before this accident happened.

Heath looked awful while with Michelle and didn't look much better after the break up. I always felt there was something not ok. Jake, agree or not, looked really good most of the time. I think it was Heath who had the more serious problems.
