Q: What would your super power be?
A: To zap angry, bigoted people.

Q: Tell us a joke
Q: How many therapists does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: Why do you think the lightbulb is so keen to change?

"Being discreet is one thing, but blatantly lying is another."

Jake Gyllenhaal meet Ricky Martin.

" Why Brothers isn't in Venice festival? Anybody knows?"

For the same reason that it wasn't shown at Cannes and won't be shown at Toronto. Do the math. Bearding giveth and bearding taketh away.

"I can't put my finger on what's going on with them."

Call Raymond Burr's husband if you want answers.

"I agree about them being publicity/image obsessed, Reese even more so."

If you haven't been seen in a movie theater since 2007, as jake has, you better do something to keep yourself in the gossip rags. Unfortunately, the elite directors don't care, but that's life.

"A solo Jake Gyllenhaal exits a medical center on Wednesday morning (September 2) in Beverly Hills, Calif."

Thanks god. At least he'll be able to talk to someone normal.

That's not true. Rags celebrities work with elite directors all the time, in fact, it's when they put themselves on the rags that they get to work with them,not before.

And I still don't get why Brothers was not showed in Cannes, Venice and Toronto. I don't doubt bearding is bad for Jake's reputation as a man, but what it has to do with festivals??

Movies: The Oscar Contenders Are Coming

A Single Man said...

We'll wait before official critical word from the Lido to push this title up as a high priority film to cover at TIFF, but Tom Ford's A Single Man is among a dozen films competing in Venice and with Julianne Moore who looks great any decade setting (she was sublime in Savage Grace) on board and Colin Firth, who I never give enough credit to, but appreciated his loving patriarch bit in Genova, in the driver's seat, I think we might be in for a surprise. Photographed by cinematographer Eduard Grau (Albert Serra's Honor de Cavelleria), here's the official synopsis and first stills from the film below:

Written by Ford and David Scearce and adapted from Christopher Isherwood's 1964 novel, set in Los Angeles in 1962, at the height of the missile crisis following US invasion of Cuba, A Single Man is the story of George Falconer (Firth), a 52-year old British college professor who is struggling to find meaning to his life after the death of his long time partner, Jim (Goode). George dwells on the past and cannot see his future as we follow him through a single day, where a series of events and encounters, ultimately leads him to decide if there is a meaning to life after Jim. George is consoled by his closest friend Charley (Moore) a 48-year old beauty who is wrestling with her own questions about the future. A young student of George’s, Kenny, (Nicholas Hoult) who is coming to terms with his true nature, stalks his professor as he feels in him a kindred spirit.

A Victor Garber's Bottom Bitch Post: Queen of Squint Moving In with Gay Best Friend?

That was fast! They've only been dating since the end of June but Renée Zellweger and hunky Bradley Cooper are already moving in together!

"Renee and Bradley have both been traveling a lot lately promoting their movies, but when he finally gets to go home to L.A., she'll live with him at his place in Venice Beach," an insider tells Star.

"Bradley set up a bathroom in the house that Renée can call her own. It's stocked with her favorite candles,perfumes and makeup — even pajamas and an electric toothbrush."

The couple, who co-star in the upcoming Case 39, went public with their romance during dinner at Antonucci's in NYC on June 30. Renée also accompanied Bradley on a press trip to Barcelona for The Hangover, and shared a romantic getaway at San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara on August 28. "They were all over each other," a source at the resort's Stonehouse restaurant tells Star.

But until they move in to Bradley's West Coast pad, Renée will be joining her man in Vancouver, where he landed on August 31 to start filming The A-Team. "She's putting everything on hold to solidify her relationship with him," says a source.

Shutter Island opens in U.S. Feb 19. Which may be a very very bad time. The Winter Olympics are Feb 12-28. People going to the movies instead of watching the Olympics? It will depend on broadcast times, i.e. if the public will get to see the competition live (will tune in) or if it will be tape delayed when the winners have already been video streamed, twittered and onlined announced and discussed 8 hours earlier (won't tune in).

Most regular TV will be reruns because of the Games. Also no HW awards ceremonies are being held in Feb because of the Olympics. Shutter Island and all the Feb 2010 movie releases will be for non-sport types, people tired of the Olympics, who already saw/heard the final score, and when nothing else is on TV.

Leave it to WDW to spin the latest series of pics of Jake at the clinic. Now they are saying that he's there for his 'shifts' at the clinic!

What a bunch of hooey. What in God's name does the BH clinic need Jake for? Does he have any medical or clinical experience whatsoever? What could he do for them - volunteer to give lessons on pimping his image and and that of his beard to the gossip rags?

Like I said before, WDW is nothing but a pr blog. If they aren't on CAA's payroll, they should be. What a bunch of JIS losers.

Word is that Brothers is still being edited, not ready for viewing. Plus early reviews are not needed for a movie with low expectations as it is.

Geeze 1:26 don't you know humor when you see it? Jake working at the med center is a running gag. And NO, the WDW site is NOT a PR-run site. And if you think WDW is a JIS proponent you haven't been reading between the lines. But that's no surprise, you haven't even been seeing clearly enough to recognize the med center joke.

Anonymous said...

Joke? I don't know how many times some rumor or tidbit about Jake's homosexuality has come out and it never appears on WDW. And whenever a Reeke pic series comes out, WDW never fails to find the pictures that make Jake look the straightest. Just try refuting Reeke once or twice on the WDW comments page and see how long your comments last.

If there's a joke on WDW, the joke is on you.

That's not what her blog is for. She has no interest for or against Reeke.

They're slender and shaved LOL. Honestly I think she starves herself or purges, and may have had lipo on her legs. "great legs" is just slender legs, really. Easy to get. What else than the legs can she have? IMO she has a nice collarbone area but she doesn't have great abs, back, butt or tits. Does she even have nipples?! Some of the tops she wears you'd think you'd see nipple bumps but there's nothing. She's probably so sexless she covers her nips with bandaids.

Maggie is on the cover of the British Edition of Marie Claire Magazine. I don’t have the exact quote but she talks about how her level of fame is completely different from Jake’s and that she feels sorry for him for having to find a way to deal with it. The article makes it sound as if they are not as close as they used to be. It says something like ‘we wonder if they are distant now’ and it mentions that she carefully chose her words to talk about him and she says something like ‘people grow towards different places’. They are not the exact quotes but the tone of the interview implied a distance between them.

My take on Reeke. I think they are dating for real, but it's also for image and publicity purposes. Looking at old pics of them he looked more into her, now not so much. I think her calling the papz that often pissed him of. He likes attention and exposure, but not overexposure. I think Jake is still with her out of convenience.
I think the fling with Austin is long over and they may or may not be friends still. The biking pics indicate they still see each other. I'm curious how Reeke will continue.

Kate/WDW posted on WFT all the time and was and still is a Jake/Chris shipper. She lurks/reads OMG and WFT2 and yes GB as well, I know this as a fact.

She is a brokie, but no longer posts on DC. She was very much interested inJake's personal life and loved to gossip about the rumors, even announced that she changed from a Jake/Chris shipper to a Jake/Austin shipper when she started her blog but I know for a fact that she just said that to get the WFT posters to post on her blog.

If you check her archives on her first post it looked like a OMG post/blog.

Then all of a sudden it was only about his professional life not his personal and she dropped OMG from her links.

She goes back and forth with the Jake is gay/straigt/bi thing. I find her obsssion creepy for a 40 year old and their is something off and immature with her (yes I have met her). A bit dishonest and phony as well.

Comments/activity hastaken a dive on her site ut then they ahve on all Jake blogs, his online fandom is dying.
She had a major falling out with JW, they at least saw the writing on the wall and closed up shop with a bit of clas instead of still pretending to like an actor.

I think at one point Kate was using the blog for attention, professional. I think she writes and was eveen thinking of ding some biography for Jake. She used some L.A. contacts she got from the JW girls but I think that has dried up. Now she isleft with a Jake blog in a dead fandom IMO.

She is also full of shit: She was the only Jake blog that posted the Jake and Reese pics in Philly with their backs turned to the camera and the Ojai of them and her kids on her blog, not even IHJ and GB did that.

PS: Either that Brooklyn sighting of Jake last ni=ght was false or he flew to NY after the yogart with Reese and the kids photo-op ended!

I don't think Ryan knows about Jake's sexual preferences (no one here knows for sure, despite some claiming they do). I don't think they were as good friends as some say. Acquaintances, yes. But friends? Doubt it. Maybe they were friends when Jake's dad was filming with Ryan, but they probably didn't stay as close friends.

And another surprise, Maggie less than thrilled with Jake. Could it have anything to do with Reese, hiding Baby Tile and stealing her wedding for Reeke publicity. What a surprise. Not.

Jake is of course still her brother, and I'm sure he likes to see Ramona. But it has been clear for some time that he doesn't see as much of them as he used to. In the old days when he wasn't working he used to spend a couple weeks out of the month in New York. Now he spends those couple of weeks following Reese around the globe.

Jake clearly cares about fame and money more than family.

Go Buckin.

I'm sure Just Jared will be tripping all over himself to get the new Reeke photos up. I swear that place ought to change its name to Just Reese.

Kate never received pressure to remove that link. It was removed all of a sudden in late 2008 after it being linked since day one,meaning over a year.

Traffick started to die on her blog around that time and maybe she thought it was because she was linked to the JIG crowd so she dropped it. If she was actually paying attention she would have known that Jake's fandom was and is dying and the diminished comments had nothing to do with the OMG link. Babblers rarely posted there, they were and still are for the most part brokies that post/posted on DC.

There are a few posters that cross post to GB and WDW but not that many that it would matter.

Again she posted the Philly pics of Jake and Reese with their backs turned and the Ojai pics when neither GB nor IHJ did, nuff said.

LOL. No one really cared about that, please. It was probably a greas spot from a donut or something. His mouth was smeared all over.
What some posters are doing is graping at straws.

I see the trolls are out in force this morning. We've got the "attack other Jake sites" troll, and the "Austin-slagging" troll and the troll going on about Jake's mouth--the latter must be UV/FL or another babbler, since we know they don't care about facts.

Austin may not be everyone's cup of tea, but at least he looks happy, energetic, dresses his age and in a way that shows off his long lean torso.

Jake in contrast has a frumpy, depressed, sexless, depressed/angry, in the midst of a mid-life crisis vibe about him most of the time. Honestly, how does anyone find that appealing. I used to be crazy about the guy, and now sometimes I can barely look at him.

ISRAEL BASHERS

HOLLYWOOD studios love to use the Toronto Film Festival as a launching pad for Oscar contenders, but this year there's a different buzz. In an online letter to event chiefs, an array of notables -- Jane Fonda, Naomi Klein, Danny Glover and David Byrne among them -- have protested the festival's choice to spotlight the city of Tel Aviv and 10 Israeli moviemakers, Post film editor V.A. Musetto reports. "Intentionally or not," the letter says, "[the festival] has become complicit in the Israeli propaganda machine." A week earlier, a Canadian filmmaker pulled his short from the event in protest. But the festival, which opens Thursday, refused to back down, insisting it would continue to show "the best films we can find."

Jane Fonda & Danny Glover are part of the few amount of celebrities that speak their minds about subjects that are not always of the likes of the general public

You can agree with them or not, but at least they are honest with themselves and to the others :)

That Kate never posts anything that would question Jake's sexuality and never questions reeking herself.

5:51 like it was said many times before: Kate/WDW's blog is intended ONLY to focus on Jake's work.

If Jake was openly dating Austin or Hilary Clinton, the WDW site would still be all about his work. The site is not intended to be a forum for questioning reeking or his sexuality, so get over it.

Huh?

Kate/WDW's blog post information about Jake's "private" Reeke life all the time.

WDW site never was just about Jake's work.

WDW/Kate is full of shit. As someone pointd out before, she was the only blog that posted the Ojai pics, not even G or IHJ did that. Focusing on his work only my ass, there was no reason to post that picture.

Comments/traffic is down on her site as is other Jake sites. Her flipping back and forth in't going to change that.

Anonymous said...

There is a reason why Kate or UV has never linked each other sites on their blogs. UV/FL know about Kate's involvement in WFT going back to 2006 when they were all posting on DC. Kate didn't mind in the beggining when people knew abbout her obsession about Jake's private life, but now she is embarrassed. Too late now. Her fall out with the JW gang was due to not only her involvement with WFT, but a lot of other disturbing things that was a bit too much.

So what if WDW posted the Ojai pics. She will post any new pics of Jake, whether or not whoever is with him, period. And I say good for her. She doesn't give a shit if the Chin and her Chinettes are with him - that's their problem. Her focus is Jake, not "protecting" the "privacy" of the beard's kids who she knows are being used for PR. If there's a new pic of Jake, she's going to post it. Unlike the Babblers who get all in a flurry over the beard.

Anonymous said...

Kate is promoting Reeke and Jake's bearding, that's the only problem I have with WDW.

Anonymous said...

Stop playing dumb. Very few babblers posted on Kate's blog. In the begginning when she was getting lots of comments, theywere from WFT posters and DC posters and she linked OMG on her site. Tehn all of a sudden last year she dumped the OMG link. It was no coincidence that it was around the same time her comments started to fall off. WFT/OMG posters were annoyed that she was posting Reeke pics. She didn't stop but decided to ditch the OMG link which made no sense since only a couple of babblers posted there.

The truth is that whatever is left of Jake's fandom, there is little interest in his professional life witness the fall oof from WDW.

The only interest is in his private life from both sides of the fence, they are only pretending to be interested inhis movies.

Kate is so obsessed with goofy Jake that she would post a pic of him taking a shit in the street and say that he looks hot taking a shit in the street, LOL!!

She is worst than the babblers and the IHJ girls put together.

The only reason she hates the chin is because she wants goofy jake's cock in her twat period.

Anonymous said...

I suspect Kate didn't want all the fighting she'd seen on DCF to spill over onto WDW. She can tell herself she was just being neutral, but imo cutting her ties to OMG was a sign that she was caving to the babblers. Once they got what they wanted they stopped posting so much over there.

My guess is because they got WDW to cave they think they''' get OMG and WFT2 to do so one day too. Talk about delusional.

Anonymous said...

There was zero reason for Kate to post the pics of Reeke with their back turned, you couldn't even see his face! The pics never made it to IHJ nor the Ojai pics.

She may hate Reeke but she can't seem to help herself. No need to post those pics if she was only interested in his professional life, what bullshit.

Anonymous said...

AGAIN I ask: what is "promoting Reeke and Jake's bearding" 1:14?? Posting pics of Reeke on her blog?! Sheesh. 90% of Jake's pics in the last 3 years are Reeke. I read WDW and she makes neutral, bland statements about Reeke, especially when answering posters who are all gaga over them. I wouldn't call being polite and avoiding the subject "promoting" but maybe you would call anything but attacking Reeke and making it the focal point of every discussion, a "promotion".

If kate didn't want to link to Jake gossip site Lisa, then why did she in the begginning have the link? It was there for over a year, stop the BS. She has been bouncing back and forth trying to get the JIG and the JIS straight fans to start posting on her blog. The thing is that the fandom is dying, it's too late.

ablers knew from day one she wasn't on their side, they kne hwer history she wasn't fooling them. The original posters on her bog were JIG posters from WFT/OMG/Dc, very few if any from IHJ or JW.

Now even the JIG crowd don't bother.

Stephen Gyllenhaal, Running on Empty

I think this will be my last posting about Stephen—the heartbreak of watching him slip into the void is just too much.

In less than two years he lost his talent, his money, his youth (he’ll be 60 in exactly one month), his career, his home, his mother, his wife, the respect of his children, and now he’s lost his mind. I never really realized before how much the core of his identity relied on being Jake and Maggie’s father, as it once relied on being Hugh and Virginia’s son. Now stripped of every material distinction and every familial aspect, where is he?

A lot of people are able to stumble as he’s stumbled and pick themselves up with grace, humility, perspective, and even humor. He's just not one of them. And I can’t help him. I don’t even want to try anymore.

What was the last straw for me (rather than, say, the last straw for his ex-wife, the Oscar-nominated screenwriter for Running on Empty)? Well, yesterday it seems that he deleted all the comments on his blog he probably considered to be “negative”—but he left his own replies, which make no sense when standing alone.

Take a look at “The Dance” and “Careful There Pardner” as well as this, this, and this comment.

What were the negative comments? As far as I can make out, for example, someone mentioned that he should have shaved before going in front of the camera for one of his YouTube self-portrait videos; another said he should have closed the bathroom door behind him before starting the camera, as a view of the toilet was distracting; and yet someone else corrected him on the spelling of the woman in Ted Kennedy’s 1969 Chappaquiddick sex-booze-death scandal—he called her Mary Jo Kohekohe (her name was Mary Jo Kopechne, and it’s a famous name to people who recall the 60s, as he’s certainly old enough to).

A man that frightened of the least countravention to what he perceives himself to be—and wants others to perceive him to be—cannot be communicated with. But I’m in the communication business. I’m a writer, a reviewer, an editor, a publisher. I love to read, I love to understand, and I loved his books from the moment I got his manuscripts.

Now I don’t know how to feel about his books anymore. I don’t know what he was trying to say, if he was even trying to say anything in the first place. Having to deal with Stephen, whether personally or professionally, finally drove me to doubt my own abilities to communicate. And for a woman in my profession, that’s a kind of death.

Anonymous said...

LOL. When WDW posts any Jake pics that have the Chin in them, which is 95% of any Jake pics, according to some sad thick-headed poster, she's a Reeke promoter. Next thing you know, this poster will say ANY Jake pics with or without the Chin, since he's bearding, is promoting Reeke.

Btw its hotter than hell in SoCal this week and last. At least 100F inland and 95F at the beach, no breeze, and with all the surrounding fires the air is thick and nasty. Why's Jake wearing pants, big thick shoes and a buttondown? Same with the Venice pics of Reeke last week. Even the Chin with her ugly get-ups, they are way too hot for this weather. Makes me suspect the pics were taken at another time. No one in their right mind would be wearing pants and a long shirt, unless they had to go to work in a building all day with the AC set to freezing. And we know Jake isn't doing that.

I wouldn't be surprised if Jake was somewhere else (like NY from that tweet) and those pics were taken about a month ago when Reeke and the rugrats were in LA, but released now when the Chin is in LA by herself getting papped with the kids so it looks like Jake is there too.

FYI Lisa who met Jake (with the other guy, on Nailed set as part of a charity lunch) has the opinion that Jake is gay. But in some screwed-up poster's mind, because she went with WDW on a trip, and oh my god WDW will post pics of Jake with his beard on her blog, Lisa is now a Reeke supporter. LOL
