What If G.I. Joe Were Gay?

G.I. Joe is like watching fireworks with a blindfold on: it's deafening and you feel under attack. The story makes no sense — why does the Eiffel Tower topple over after being covered in sparkling slime? And worst of all: Sienna Miller and Channing Tatum, a charismatic guy whom The New York Times once compared to Marlon Brando, have the chemistry of two ice cubes. As my mind wandered, I started to imagine ways for the director to have reinvented the franchise for the 21st century. What if the G in G.I. Joe didn't just stand for "government"? What if it also stood for "gay"?

To many G.I. Joe fans, who grew up collecting the action figures, this might be blasphemy. Who cares? The best summer action movies — The Bourne Identity, The Dark Knight — always come with tortured heroes who carry around deep secrets. Imagine the dramatic possibilities! For starters, we could ditch Sienna Miller, which would be a big improvement right from the start. Duke's (Tatum) new love interest would be a male soldier. The movie would even strike a note of social relevance, given that our troops still adhere to "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (i.e., Duke couldn't blab about his love life to any of his friends).

Hollywood likes to cast gay characters in supporting roles, as background scenery, but they still don't anchor movies that often. You can understand the cold feet: the movie business is about selling tickets to teenage boys, and even Brüno tanked. This week, there was a storm of protest online when Robert Downey Jr. suggested his onscreen Sherlock Holmes — scheduled to hit theater screens on Christmas — might have had a gay fling with Watson (Jude Law). Gawker described the "full blown gay panic" from conservative film critic Michael Medved. "Who is going to watch Downey Jr. and Law make out?" he asked. "I don't think it would be appealing to women. Straight men don't want to see it."

Medved's off base — the Sherlock Holmes screenplay doesn't even feature a male kiss, and action heroes have been a little gay since the beginning of the genre. Look at Superman's revealing red tights. Or Batman's "friendship" with Robin. James Bond is such a good dresser, he might as well be gay (at one point, Rupert Everett even wanted to star as a gay James Bond). So maybe it's just a matter of time before we see our first openly gay action hero. At 2 a.m., I'd wasted enough of my time on G.I. Joe. But before I fled, I wanted to check in on an elderly woman who had come to see the movie alone. She looked shellshocked in the lobby, but it turned out that she was only crying tears of joy. Apparently, she couldn't wait for the sequel.

I started to back away, but it was so late that I didn't think it would hurt if I sprang my idea on her. What if, in the next movie, G.I. Joe were gay? Would she still buy a ticket? Her face lit up. "Absolutely!" she said. "Just because you're gay doesn't mean you're not powerful."

Didn't Jake recently say that the actor he admires most is Ryan Gosling?

Never heard of it. The only thing I remember about Gosling from Jake is during TRL when he promoted Zodiac and was asked what recent role (from 2007) he wished he had played. He said the one Gosling played in Half Nelson and that he was great in it.

Jake won't be getting anything back. The Chin probably already has her set visits and photo ops scheduled already. We will just get more of the same Reeking.

BTW, right about a OMG poster sending that letter, but it was Destiny not M, not this time anyway. Another one of those blatant letters to s-p-e-l-l i-t o-u-t because they don't like the Austin/Robert speculation so good ole Bibby just shot it down, plus they don't like Austin/Sophia thing, even though it's just PR.

Dear Ted:
On the blog Waiting for Toothy, we named the Austin Nichols/Robert Buckley pairing "Buckin." Buckin is the best thing that happened to the Toothy tale since Toothy became this closeted boring guy and is parading his unpleasant beard nonstop. It's great news that Gray Goose wised up and said a big "f--k you" to Toothy choosing a hotter man! We count on you for the dish and info about them.

I don´t think Ted is shutting down Bukin. I think “Buckin stops here” in this context means “Bukin arrives to or stays (stops) in the awful truth (here)”. The rest of the answer with a “thanks” (Ted is taking credit for the info) and “what makes you think you have everything so neatly figured out” (cheeky confirmation) means that Melanie got all that info from the hints made by the awful truth. I think Ted in his usual play with words, is affirming in a cheeky way that Melanie´s scenario is the right one. He is outing Austin as Goose (and by default Toothy as Jake) and hinting that Austin is involved with Robert. This is how I read Ted´s reply.

Hey, I was going to offer congrats to whoever submitted the letter to Ted and exposing Bucnic to more of the masses. I couldn't believe it when I saw that.

But no one knows who sent the letter in, huh? I've gotten only 1 of mine published. I've sent in 3 times so I'm batting .333. I would admit it if I had sent it in. I just figured someone from WFT2 sent it in since that's who was mentioned in it.

Anyway, I thought it was awesome, but then it doesn't take a whole lot to get me all excited. There's pleasure in the small things as well.

Dear Ted:
You're slippin', my man. Why no dirt on the alleged hookup between Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon? Other gossips seem to be talking about it—but if anyone knows what's going on it's you. So, what's up?
Jeff

Dear Doubting Debbies:
I haven’t said anything because we’ve yet to see the two of them even snapped together. The proof (on occasion) is in the pics, pumpkin. Right now, it’s all speculation, and it smells a bit Jennifer Aniston-Vince Vaughn to moi.


June 5, 2007
Dear Ted:
I think you entirely missed the point about Jake and Reese's trip to the doctor together. There is only one reason that a new couple goes to the doctor together. Think about it. Hint: It rhymes with hex. I never believed the whole Reese-Jake thing—but I definitely do now. Did you hear about their rendezvous in Paris after Jake finished with all his Zodiac stuff at Cannes? Did you see the photos of Reese following Jake's car back to her place?
Jeff
Los Angeles

Dear Cannes-vinced:
I haven’t heard a thing about Reese in Paris, so no idea what hookup you’re referring to. And like I say, the proof is in the pics. Why haven’t the omnipresent paps managed to get one shot of them together off set if they’re so hot 'n’ heavy?"


August 14, 2007

When are you going to start reporting about Reese and Jake's reconciliation? You can't say there is no photographic evidence anymore. It's time to join the Reese & Jake party—we want to know what's going on there!

Lemme guess. You also want more gab on Rachel Bilson ’n’ Hayden Christensen, too, right?

Dear Ted:
Whatever credibility you had left, and it isn't much, is evaporating quickly. Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal are low-key in that they spend most of their time indoors. You don't see it because you don't want to, simple. Reading you is like watching the Titanic sink! New photos, new bulls--t. Fool!

It wasn't a formal interview, it was the Forbes Hollywood list that came out a few months ago, where Reese placed 71 out of the top 100 most influential in entertainment.

It was stated she spent $1000.00 a week for the nanny and $25,000 for the personal chef (monthly I believe) or I heard and saw wrong for that salary. And the piece on her did mention Jake and her kids as a family. They supposedly spent 20,000 a week on their vacation in Mexico, well Reese did anyway. The list is from june 2008-june 2009.

She must have fired the personal chef because what's the point of having one if you do all the food shopping unless it is PR.

If it's true, she spends $4k a month for the nanny and 25k a month for a chef? Six times more for a cook than for her children's care, sad but LOL.

"The piece on her did mention Jake and her kids as a family." Yeah it was PR crap. It wouldn't be consistent after the "JAKE MOVES IN!" cover for her to tally up the costs for her and 2 kids LOL.

"They supposedly spent 20,000 a week on their vacation in Mexico." Bullshit! We all saw pics of the hotel/resort and it was blech. Were they even there a week? Remember the pics of Jake sitting on the edge of a drained pool or whatever it was? Awful. It was Acapulco Ghetto. IMO she got that trip for free, probably from when she bought the Ojai house. It looked like one of those "Listen to our timeshare sales pitch and we'll give you a free trip" deals.

Spending $20,000 on that Mexico vacation isn't that far fetched. They had 6 first class round trip tickets (Reese, kids, Jake, nanny and her boyfriend), the private villa, meals, transportation, activities and shopping.

Narcissists usually are pathological liars. It goes hand-in-hand with making themselves look good and they have no remorse about lying. I honestly believe Reese is a narcissist: everything and everyone including her kids, is used as an extension to enhance herself. It all revolves around her. I grew up with a narcissistic mother so I can pretty much recognize it in others. After looking at pics of 3 years of Reeking, IMO it's definately there.

"Jake was great with the kids and they all shared little samples before deciding on flavors," an eyewitness tell us of the family frozen yogurt outing. But with dessert comes exercise – and earlier in the week, the couple took an exercise class at Burn 60, focusing on arm and shoulder work, as well as cardio. "The air conditioning wasn't on and in the 90 degree heat, Reese and Jake sweated and struggled like the rest of the class," an onlooker says, adding that the famous duo "seemed to enjoy" their workout.

To be fair the SoCal heatwave the last 2 weeks has knocked out a lot of AC's from the overload so I wouldn't be surprised to hear that it was out of order.

Btw 90 degrees last week was in the morning at 9 am, LOL. At noon it was around 106, in the shade.

Wait, Reeke was able to go to Burn 360 again and leave and they didn't have to have the owner walk them to their car with a calvacade of paps outside waiting for them like last time? How is that possible? Did the heat knock out all the phones at Reese's PR firm?

Didn't know that Gosling and Kiki have a film coming out in December "All Good Things". I read they had a litte fling during filming. Kiki seems to have a faible for most of her male co stars. ;)

Jake was great with the kids

LOL he walks 6 feet ahead in a hurry to get to the car so he can get this PR pap crap over with.

Anonymous said...

^^I think he wanted to avoid being photographed with them together. He probably knows that they'll write crap like he's the better father than Ryan or other fans crying, "but he should be with Matilda and Michelle, damn it!!!"

Made up, a bit of PR for the movie, Kiki and Ryan.

PR for the movie?! More like a knife in the back for Jake from Look-Who-I'm-Fucking-And-You-Aren't Kiki!

Anonymous said...

Jake could give two-shits about junkie Kiki. And Who the hell thought taht Reeke was going to be on the cover of Us?? More speculation/fanfic? Neither has anything to promote, it's too soon for Brothers and Avon PR is no reason for a cover. You girls get excited over nothing. That one pic will probably be used for a filler story, nothing more.

BTW: Reese is on record as saying that sometimes she either has her kids walk ahead of her, or she does so that paps don't get their $$$ shot. She did the same thing when she was with Ryan, having him walk ahead and she does it with Jake and I've seen her do it with her mother. When she doesn't want the pap attention she does this. So him walking ahead was because she told him to not because he was walking away, I thought you knew this.

The only way they are going to get a cover story on any of the rags is when they announce that they are engaged and getting married. the rest is boring even for them. The Venice pics, one anyway was featured inside of Us. There only seems to be one pic of them and the kids last week it seems.

He should hook up with Michelle, his co star in Blue Valentine. Pity she already is dating Spike Jonze, with whom we rarely see her though. Trouble in paradise? Is there a chance for sexy Ryan and Michelle. TBC...;)

Reese did it (walking ahead) with Ryan, either she or he walked ahead, and now Jake does it too. I've noticed it when that bitch was still married to that short douchbag. Two stinkers, shame they seperated.

Jake doesn't walk ahead, they walk together and very often hold hands to make a point of "being together".

Ryan is a pussy hunter (pardon my french), he just plays the "nice guy" much better than other HW heartthrob, but he is a manwhore just like any young actor

After the Heath fiasco, Michelle is doing the right thing: dating an older,fugly but oddly sexy man who knows he is under her league and feels lucky to have her
I think,finally, she is the one in control in a relationship ;)

Ryan Gosling is gay and Kiki is still a junkie.

If that was a Flynet photo-op we would have seen more pics and not that one with exclusive/no internet use tagged on it. If there are more and they are saving it for some rag, then they would have not posted that one pic. True it wasn't tagged at first but I think that was not really a Flynet pic, but someone sent it in, fan/cellphone pic? Sold it to Flynet and they just posted it on their site, The exclusive/no internet use was slapped on it after the fact to prevent sites like IHJ from posting them probably as per PR because they are not photo-op pics.

Same thing with that one pic from late 2007 of them and the kids in SF while she was filming. One pic and IHJ did post it, they got it from a fan site and it was a pic someone took of thenm and posted on a site and IHJ found it. You noticed that it never appeared any where else. Or the Ojai pic from July of them, another fan pic that didn't appear or was mention any where excpet the Jake blogs.

Since when is Gosling gay? He seemed very in love with Rachel Macadams and seems quite the ladies man. Never heard gay rumors about him. Not every actor in Hollywood is gay.

Flynet is selling their pictures, no one can just take and post them.

WTF??? You must be joking.

Anonymous said...

Their Flynet photo-ops are usually posted elsewhere even if they are "exclusive". If they are selling them then that would explain the no internet use because they wouldn't be able to sell them if they all turned up on IHJ and JJ so there must be more than one pic I would assume.

Anonymous said...

There were/are plenty of gay rumors surrounding both Ryan and Rachel while they were living in Silverlake, he still lives there.

They were bearding for each other just like Justin and Jessica. No not every actor in HW is gay but Ryan is.

You need to search elsewhere for your gossip instead of going to the same ole stale places.

I find it too funny when Ted attempts to "in" actors like Ryan and Leo, he MUST know.

Anonymous said...

8:49 am, you are jumping the gun. Reeke isn't on the cover of US but I'm still sure that the Flynet pics are on the inside with a story about how loving and wonderful they all are. When the mag hits the stands we shall see.

Just to be clear - ALL paparazzi pictures from ALL paparazzi agencies are for sale, you can't get any picture from paparazzi agency without paying. JJ and IHJ are buying paparazzi pictures.

P.S. Paparazzi agency decides which pictures and under what conditions are for sale.

There's a drug forum I go to look at (not post) on the web. Everything you ever wanted to know about illegal substances. No one even says "I" or "me" in their posts because it's that touchy. They all say SWIM "Someone Who Isn't Me" so they don't incriminate themselves. Anyway it's surprising how many straight guys there admit to having or desiring gay sex. Because getting high brought the urge out, or they were uninhibited during using a certain drug or for trading sex for drugs or money. Anyway what I'm getting to is that with all the prolific drug activity in HW I doubt there's lines being drawn between gay and straight. I think most people there especially under the right circumstances (creative types, drugs, hunger for success) are pretty much open to anything.

After I wrote that at 10:25 I realized shit, with a lot of one drug, a little bit of another drug and some of that drug and enough desperation, Jake COULD be fucking his beard or even his PR. God I hope not. But IF he is doing hardcore stuff for whatever reasons to make it thru the day or to pretend to be someone else, no wonder why he's been deteriorating somewhat physically and in his demeanor the last 2 years. Its thoughts like these that make me hope there is a BT because it would give him a reason to take care of himself. Not always but there's a better chance when your kid needs you to be around.

Jake is the star of the Love&drugs, but he's not the only one who works on this movie - someone else is paying and defining the rules and schedules.

Dear Ted:
I've been reading your blolum since Toothy was a virgin, but I've never asked a Q before now. So, to make up for it I have three: 1. You have said that Toothy has a beard, so does she know she is a beard? 2. Has she ever been a beard for another guy before? 3. Do you think Toothy will marry this beard? Thanks for the bitching!

Dear Genie Ted:
Yes, Toothy's beard knows what she is. And yes, she's familiar with men who play for both teams. And yes, I could see Toothy selling out and marrying the beard. For Baby Tile's sake.

Both Jake and Reese are in PA, she in Philly and him in Pittsburgh(yuck!). If prduction peopl say he has to be in Pitt. before actual filming, pre-production stuff then he has no choice. Makes you wonder if he plans on going to that Disney expo on Friday or is he just going to stay in PA.

I also think that he sold his home in HH, he is hardly stays there. Makes more sense fro him to buy a smaller place and I think he did in Venice, CA. Six months in PA: Philly/Pitt. July -Dec and before that : DC, NY, Europe. If he has a financial advisor I bet they told him to sell the place, probably in someone else's name to avoid taxes.

Dear Ted:
There are only 11 comments on the Bitch-Back with LeAnn and Eddie, and I already know that with that one answer you gave regarding Twyla Babe-Sucker's problems not really being over you have started a massive disturbance. Now everyone will say Twyla can't be Kristen, and everyone will think she is TTT and bisexual. As if this girl (and I mean girl) needs any more s—t right now. I love you, Ted, but you were so wrong this time. So wrong. Wait until you see the boards explode. They are waiting to destroy her.
