Portia de Rossi knew her "quiet life" was over when she fell for Ellen DeGeneres. Now, with a new book and a passionate taste for politics, she’s ready to step forward as the first lady of our fight for marriage equality.
She has that least likely of all Hollywood endings — a marriage everyone believes is the real deal. "It’s one thing to have attention; it’s one thing to stand for something," she says. "But unless it’s backed up with genuine happiness, I think people can sense that it’s not worth celebrating."
Whenever anyone asks De Rossi about marriage equality — and, grateful for whatever "little tiny platform" she’s given, she hopes they will — she reveals herself to be an impeccably prepared spokeswoman, a perfectly poised first lady of advocacy. Further proof will come in March when the Human Rights Campaign will acknowledge De Rossi with its Visibility Award at a ceremony in Los Angeles.
A year and a half after their 2008 wedding, she and DeGeneres are still that almost obnoxiously adorable couple. If anything, getting married has only made them more so. Even the paparazzi seem to buy into their love story, mostly leaving the two alone. "To think that a married gay couple is considered boring and normal is fantastic," she says. "Happiness is a choice too. It’s a choice to live in a state of gratitude and to fix what makes you unhappy. Being honest with who you are, being able to go out into the world and show people that you can be successful and be happy and be in a good marriage — it’s important."
She makes another straightforward "case closed" argument for actors coming out, usual Hollywood scare tactics be damned. "People say, 'There are lots of openly gay actors.' And I’m like, who? If everybody I knew that was gay and not being open about it came out, it would make a huge difference to people coming up as young actors in Hollywood. Huge. To producers, to people in casting. I’m sure that when I was with Ellen a lot of people wondered if I could play a straight role convincingly. By having the opportunity, other people can go, 'Oh, that’s OK. It didn’t kill that show. That was believable.'"
In comparison to her wife, at least, "I haven’t said 'I’m gay' that often," she says. Maybe that was true back when the idea of Portia as the femme fatale still cast such a long shadow over her public life.
This is what she has to say now: "Being on Oprah was a very surreal moment — to go from being so closeted and so afraid to talk about my sexuality to sitting with my wife, talking about my wedding and how much I love her. To look out at that audience and see most of the audience crying — Oprah was crying! Life can take so many twists and turns. You can’t ever count yourself out. Even if you’re really afraid at some point, you can’t think that there’s no room for you to grow and do something good with your life."

I suggested it was Bruck's son based on his facial features and age; I never suggested they were dating. I joked yes (LOL maybe Jake has to date the producer's son to keep getting roles.) but it was a joke. It's you who are jumping to conclusions, in more ways than one.
It's one thing to do honest detective work, another to pull names out of thin air, as with the speculation that it is Jerry's son.
Oh so according to you, brainstorming and putting forth ideas is forbidden and wrong?! My dear 11:25, I hate to break your rigid thinking but brainstorming and idea-flinging, no matter how crazy or off-base, are the roots of detective work and problem-solving.
One of Ted's letters in BB today:
Dear Ted:
Did you ask your new BFF Danneel what her fiancé, Jensen Ackles, who is so protective of his private life, thinks about the fact that his wife-to-be is making a pubic circus out of their wedding and is giving ammo to a gossip columnist who feeds the gay rumors about him?
^^ LOL pubic circus

Exclusive /Film Interview: Mike Newell, Director of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
Posted on Tuesday, February 16th, 2010 by David Chen
When I look at director Mike Newell’s filmography, I’m impressed by its breadth, depth, and quality. It’s difficult for me to imagine that the same man who made Donnie Brasco also made Four Weddings and a Funeral, and also made Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Yet despite (or perhaps because of) his eclectic choices, Newell has been able to craft films that always seem able to bring out a certain sense of authenticity in their characters and in the relationships between them. In a couple of months, Newell will tackle another big-budget adaptation, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. In the past, videogame adaptations have had a pretty spotty record in terms of quality, but I’m holding out hope that Sands of Time will be one of the best videogame-to-film adaptations we’ve seen yet.
I had the opportunity recently to chat with Mr. Newell for a lengthy conversation/interview. Our discussion spanned topics far and wide; we discussed the early days of Mike’s career, why he enjoyed working in film over TV, the tax benefits of working with George Lucas, the “English-ness” he tried to bring to the Harry Potter series, how he chooses his diverse projects, and why he cast Jake Gyllenhaal in The Prince of Persia. You can read the interview below, and/or listen to the audio via the /Filmcast.
Mike Newell, thanks so much for speaking with us today on the /Filmcast.
Well, it’s nice to talk to you.
So Mr. Newell, you’ve worked on a lot of television shows and some made-for-TV films; I’m wondering if you can talk a little bit about your path from working on TV to working on film.
Well, it’s a long time now. The mid-1970s was when I moved into movies, and the first show that I made, in fact, started life as a big sort of two hour TV dramatic special but they liked it and released it as a movie. Somebody bought it and released it as a movie. I can’t remember who. And that was a show called ‘The Man in the Iron Mask’. Not the last one; not the Leonardo DiCaprio. It was made with actually Richard Chamberlain and a lot of other very snotty– I mean, very important in English actors.
So that’s where it began, and then of course for a little while, I flickered between the two. I would make movies and then I would come back and make television, both in this country and also internationally. And then little by little, simply, I didn’t need to make television any more and I was more interested in movies, and so the television side of things went away.
Exclusive /Film Interview: Mike Newell, Director of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
So did you always want to work on films, or did you discover your love for it when you started making them?
No, no, no. I always wanted to work on films, and when I was starting in television in this country, in Great Britain, there really wasn’t any film to be made. The stuff that was being made was very low quality. A lot of it was sort of quota movies for cheap and pretty nasty American product; Matt Helm and things like that. And where the juice was, where the, you know, the great writing was and the real excitement, was in TV. And so what we wanted to do was– what my generation wanted to do was to break out of studio production, electronic studio production, which you would know as– oh, God. I mean, your version of it was done in the mid-1950s; our version of it was done in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and it was– oh, I can’t remember what they were called. It’s people like Arthur Penn and what not would make these big studio-based, set-based TV dramas and we had the same kind of production. And of course what the young guys like me were desperate to do was to get out onto the streets.
We wanted it to be realer and we wanted it to be harder and to have more action to it and just a greater sense of reality, and so we were constantly shoving to get away from electronic production into film production. And so we started to make little 16 mm films and then they developed and we were making hour, hour and a half television features, and then it’s quite a natural step, in fact, to go across into low budget cinema features. And that was what happened to my generation of directors.
What did you personally enjoy more about films than TV work?
Well, simply that the kind of subjects that you would be able to do would be realer. They would be harder-edged, they would be more kind of ‘the world as it is’ rather than a kind of– some fuzzy sentimental glow. An awful lot of TV back then was pretty sentimental, and then there was a whole other strand which was simply, “This is what it’s like. This is really what it’s like.” And all of us aspired to that.
I give up! It's a pain in the ass because google won't let any more than whatever charaters! So you'll have to go to the link, sorry.
Here's the POP part:
SF: Let’s talk about Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Can you tell us about what drew you to the project and also have you ever played the ‘Prince of Persia’ video games before?
MN: Well, I played it, of course. As soon as I knew I was going to make the movie, I went and played it. I played it solidly for, I don’t know, afternoons on end, it seemed like to me, and I was so maladroit at the handling of the controls that I just about managed to get him to run along a wall before he fell off into some appalling scything machine and was chopped to bits.
SF: So what drew you to this project, sir?
MN: I was hopeless. I was completely hopeless at it, but we never thought that what we were doing was making a film of a game. I knew that it was based on a game and Jordy [Jordan Mechner] and I– the guy who wrote the game and had a huge hand in the creation of the first couple of versions of the game– Jordy and I really hit it off and I adored him, because he was, like me, a kind of research freak and he knew stuff about sixth century Persia that I found completely fascinating. I’m sitting in my office now staring at a row of huge books about sixth century Persia. And I loved doing all the research, and Jordy absolutely loved doing the research and we kind of got together on that and had a lot of fun.
And there’s an enormous sense of– well, a reality about it; this is what it was like. And I kind of saw that in the game and I saw that in the ideas and the script had it took that approach to it because Jordy wrote the first version of the script, and so we kind of carried on along that. And we had a marvelous designer and a great cameraman, and our effort the whole time was to make the world authentic without being dull. Of course, it had to be a great rollicking, swashbuckling adventure story, and that was very clear, but it also needed to have a sense of authenticity and realism about it. And also the relationship as well; it’s a love story. You know, it‘s a boy and a girl who decide– to start with, they cannot stand one another. They drive one another mad.
And you know, finally, it’s a full-on love affair, but you’ve got to take the whole movie to bring them to that point. And so just that side of things, just making a swashbuckling adventure movie, is very enjoyable, but what we tried to do, what I tried to do, was to make it very realistic. I wanted people to say, “Gosh, if you did that, it would feel exactly like that. That’s what being in a sword fight must feel like.”
SF: I’m wondering if you’ve seen other films that have been adapted from video games and sort of what your own approach has been to adapting this particular video game. And specifically, relating to the–
MN: Well, I’ll tell you what it was. I mean, I can tell you what it was; I don’t want to lose part of the audience, but I knew what the guy looked like, I knew the world that he was in, I knew about sixth century Persia, I knew that he was a fantastic athlete and I had the huge good fortune of having Jake Gyllenhaal, who was a good athlete but who worked his socks off. You can’t know how hard he worked to make himself the physical personification of that tiny little video game character. And there he is, he’s real and he can ride and he can fight and he can shoot and he’s a marvelous action hero as well as being the guy that we know from ‘Brokeback Mountain’, who’s a fabulous actor. I was very, very fortunate with Jake. And so, what I was aiming to do was to not produce a simple copy of what was in the video game, but I wanted him to look like that, I wanted him to be able to fight like hell, and I wanted him to be a great action character. And that’s what he gave me. Then, we were very careful about certain kind of key sequences, big sequences in the movie. There’s a sequence– there’s a pursuit in a market, there are several huge fights, there’s the taking of the town…
4096 characters, 4 kilobytes
SF: Well, let me ask you this; you bring up Jake Gyllenhaal– and this can be my last question. I’m a huge fan of Mr Gyllenhaal, incredibly talented, one of the great actors of our generation, but I’m wondering if you at any point considered casting someone, you know, of Middle Eastern descent or something along those lines, in sort of keeping–
MN: No, I did not. Now, I didn’t do that because what I felt was that this was going to be a great, big movie with– that was produced by one of the great brands of American culture– well, two of the great brands, if you like; I mean, you know, Disney is one and Jerry is another– and that therefore, what I should do was to look to their requirements first. But what I absolutely did do was to say that the girl should– and I looked very hard at a lot of actresses from Bollywood, for instance, and some from Turkey and some actually from Iran, two or three from Iran, and so I got very, very interested indeed in that.
And what stuck from that was the look of the girl and the behavior of the girl. In fact, what we had was the next kind of marvelous English actress out of the box. You know, she was 21 when we made the movie, and she’s absolutely tremendous. But those researches in the Bollywood girls and the Iranian girls and what not had left me with a very strong impression of how this girl should behave, what she should look like and the fact that she was a kind of aristocrat. And Jake is not an aristocrat at all; he’s a street kid who has found himself taken into a royal family because he’s an orphan and the King likes the look of him, and it’s a kind of crazy act of sentiment on the King’s part. “I like the look of you, boy. Come and you’re going to be my third son.” But with the girl, she, for me, needed to be very authentic indeed, and she needs to have this Eastern look to her. So the casting process, I never had any doubt. It was me that brought Jake in toward this. From the very first moment that I read it, I knew that he was, for me, the one to beat. I saw lots and lots of excellent people, but I never found anybody who beat my idea of the character, who did my idea of the character, better than Jake, and I convinced Jerry of that.
But the girl, as I say, the girl really was– I was looking for an Eastern princess, and all the time I was meeting these wonderful, beautiful girls, I was learning about Eastern-ness.
he’s a street kid who has found himself taken into a royal family because he’s an orphan and the King likes the look of him, and it’s a kind of crazy act of sentiment on the King’s part. "I like the look of you, boy."
Even the King noticed Jake's abs!
I felt was that this was going to be a great, big movie with– that was produced by one of the great brands of American culture– well, two of the great brands, if you like; I mean, you know, Disney is one and Jerry is another– and that therefore, what I should do was to look to their requirements first.
IMO Disney is a big brainwash machine from kids aged 3 and up. White characters, girls whose primary role in life is to be beautiful and catch a prince, and of course no homos.
I like the look of you, boy.
Damn, the King sunds like a pedo.
But you must see that Jake's smile!
Not 3:49 but I agree with you 4:12 that Jake seemed very happy.
I like the look of you, boy.
Hey that's exactly what Jake said to me last night!
Jake seemed very happy.
He bagged a young one!
But you must see that Jake's smile!
naughty smile :)
I'm Naughty by Nature!

I'm nawty too!
I found it! The two Biathlon guys. It's a younger cuter different guy than the man in the pic someone posted here (ty btw). Lol it's not as steamy as it was in my mind but still. Sorry if I got everyone worked up. I swear though that the vid is faster than what was on TV - anyone noticed that about vids in general? What they had on TV was a lot slower. IMO the dark-haired guy looks gay and they almost look they're going to kiss. That's enough for me!

Not fair, can't watch it either.
Let's Talk About Chesty Jake Gyllenhaal Some More!
Why not? That's what everybody like talking about any way. Everybody.
When asked what Chesty Jake is bringing to the upcoming Prince of Persia movie, producer Jerry Bruckheimer replied, "Well, he's very handsome. And he's in fantastic shape. He got in great shape for this movie. And he's a brilliant actor, and that's what it is all about. You know, he's young, he's talented, and that's what we rely on — his talent."
Director Mike Newell (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire), told website, /Film, "You can't know how hard he [Jake] worked to make himself the physical personification of that tiny little video game character. And there he is, he's real and he can ride and he can fight and he can shoot and he's a marvelous action hero as well as being the guy that we know from Brokeback Mountain, who's a fabulous actor.
"I was very, very fortunate with Jake," the director continued. "And so, what I was aiming to do was to not produce a simple copy of what was in the video game, but I wanted him to look like that, I wanted him to be able to fight like hell, and I wanted him to be a great action character. And that's what he gave me. Then, we were very careful about certain kind of key sequences, big sequences in the movie. There's a sequence– there's a pursuit in a market, there are several huge fights, there's the taking of the town..."

Thanks.
Yw! See I wasn't totally imagining it. You people probably thought I was crazy talking about the 2 "really close" French guys at the Biathlon!
Oops the 1st pic should be #4!
No wonder you were distracted ;)
I guess we should expect a tour of Montreal coffeehouses a la Jake.
No wonder you were distracted ;)
LOL yes I was!
They did the close faces (I love the guy's hand behind JV's head), then they broke apart (the guy slid his hand down JV's chest), then they did the close faces again with I think a kiss and they hugged really tight.
I hope they got a room :)
And made a sex tape.
Fingers crossed!
Fingers crossed!
And legs spread!

Many actors of the CW’s shows were at Fashion week. From OTH, Rob Buckley and Shantel (Quinn) attended many events too. There is an article on Vanity Fair about the CW filling all the seats of NYC Fashion Week.
NYCFW
If you want to laugh at Miss Bush’s “innocence” when it comes to arranged photo op, take a look at this quote. After she worked the camera like crazy in all the events, she said she could do without the photographers. She is there just for the clothes:
One Tree Hill's Sophia Bush also loves the sartorial scene. "I could do without all the photographs though," said the CW star. Her main focus is to see the new designs. "If I had it my way, I would just sneak in and sit backstage and touch all the clothes and see all the girls."

^Rob Buckley was with Austin at Fashion week? I am sure it wasn't that boring for Austin then ;)
"Well, he was with somebody's kid. Could have been a nephew/neice situation, or a friend. He was also with a blonde woman who was probably a few years older than he. (not Maggie.)"
But was it a girl or a boy?
neice/nephew situation? It can't be so difficult to see if it's a girl or a boy. Both BT (if it exists) and Ramona are older than 2.
"He was also with a blonde woman"
the nanny?
I definitely think the kid with Jake was BT. If the guy who saw him knows Maggie enough to see the woman with him wasn't her, then he would have recognised Ramona if she was the kid.
"It can't be so difficult to see if it's a girl or a boy."
Maybe BT had a hat and was dressed in a way that you can't recognise the gender. The guy probably focused on Jake so he wasn't paying attention to the gender of the kid.
I don't know, someone like Jake having a toddler and no whispers, nothing, only what Ted is alluding. This is impossible in my opinion. I don't deny Jake may be gay and that the thing with that awful woman was bearding, but hiding a kid and we hear absolutely nothing about it? No way. The kid was probably Ramona and the woman one of his assistants.
Ramona has long hair? The kid had a cap on?
"the woman one of his assistants"
His assistant is BT's nanny now.
There is more proof than Ted now that BT exists. There are various sightings and even suspicious pics, all posted here in the past months.
but hiding a kid and we hear absolutely nothing about it?
Hear what and from whom? Give us an example of what you'd expect.
9:10 AM - more concrete sightings, more, at least, gossip columnists alluding to it.
Both sightings where people thought it could have been BT there was Ramona in the same city, in London and now L.A.
Ramona wasn't in Paris.
Ramona wasn't in Paris.
If he couldn't determine the sex of the child (nephew/niece) then it could be the child was really young, months old not over two. I can see someone not figuring out the gender if they are not that old.
He also says somebodys kid which means he just assumed, like that blogger last year in the UK, not because the kid was yelling daddy!!
When he was in that park with a kid, was that in Paris or London and was Ramona there at the same time? Can someone who knows help out?
His KID? Wha Wha What?
Great job, Agent 8:26 AM!
Not talkiing about Paris, talking about the UK and L.A. and in both cases Ramona was there, this guy obviously just asumed since he said well he was with somebody's kid.
The kid could have been the blonde's kid, jake does have friends with kids and she doesn't have to be a PA.
When he was in that park with a kid, was that in Paris or London and was Ramona there at the same time?
Ramona was in London when Jake was in the park.
Reeking in Paris and BT picture - Ramona wasn't there.
Even if Ramona wore a hat or cap, in order not to see her long, full hair, they had to hide it under the cap or hat. But why would they do that?
It was London, Maggie was in the UK with her family while she was filming.
Ramona was in London when Jake was in the park.
Reeking in Paris and BT picture - Ramona wasn't there.
If that kid in Paris was some random kid or BT is not sure at all.
I thought Ramona was in London at the time, so thanks for confirming.
Who said Roman was in Paris?
The guy obviously couldn't determine the sex of the child. Either it was Ramona covered up, or a bay, proably belonging to the blonde.
Well, he was with somebody's kid. Could have been a nephew/neice situation, or a friend. He was also ...
The kid was with Jake.
Test screening of Zwick's Love and Other Drugs tonight. With Hathaway & J.Gyllenhaal, my hopes are high!

If it was a baby, then I think the guy would have said 'baby' not 'kid'.
The sighting of Jake with a kid in London, wasn't Maggie in Paris at the time? Jake was the one who was filming PoP in London. Maybe they were visiting him.
There is also the 2 kids with Reeke and Paul Rudd sighting. Ramona wasn't there either. The chin's kids were in LA with Ryan and Paul has one kid.
Also if the baby at the Paris park was just a random baby, then why would Jake have a baby stroller in his car?
I think it was BT and the nanny with Jake.
Both BT and Ramona are over 2 years old, old enough for anyone to determine the sex. The fact that he said neice/nephew situation indicates that the child was young, months old , barely any hair, etc.
Also he indicated that it wasn't Maggie , blonde and a few years older(duh, maggie is well known enough where he would recognize her) but he doesn't no too much about maggie personally because if he did he would know that she has a daughter, he said neice/nephew , that shows that he has no idea .
People talk gossip, there would be gossip, tweets of jake with a child, not 2 sightings of jake and a kid when in both cases Ramona was in the same city.
I bet that child was an infant and it belonged to the blonde, he may have been holding it.
"not 2 sightings of jake and a kid when in both cases Ramona was in the same city"
There are more than two sightings and Ramona wasn't there in the others. There are also suspicious pictures.
9:29 AM, Maggie and Jake were in London at the same time, either she had business there or visited her bro.
The "kids" sighting N.Y., I do suspect Ramona was with them, but who was/were the other (s)? Someone suggested a friend's (of Pete and Maggie) kid maybe.
Paris baby stroller... Didn't they go shopping that day and all the things in the trunk were things they bought in Paris? There was a X 17 post about it. Maybe the stroller was for Deacon if he was too lazy to walk or a present from Jake to Ramona?
The fact that he said neice/nephew situation indicates that the child was young, months old , barely any hair, etc.
Neice/nephew situation doesn't indicate kid's age + he would say baby, not kid.
If it wasn't a baby, it's weird that he couldn't recognize if it was a boy or girl. He recoginzed Jake, saw that the woman was blonde, older than Jake and deffo not Mags. What's most important, namely the gender of that kid, he couldn't tell.
Maybe the stroller was for Deacon if he was too lazy to walk or a present from Jake to Ramona?
Nah, that doesn't make sense and no one saw Deacon in a stroller for years.
Kid, baby, guys don't make that distinction. He also said niece/nephew as if he didn't know the gender, odd because kids over 2 are dressed according to their gender.
Again he mentioned Maggie but he didn't say maggies daughter, sounds like he knows whta maggie looks like but doesn't know if she has a boy or a girl.
The UK sighting was in 2009, after pop was done. Jake went there I think in late May while Maggie was filming. I remember because he went to DC later on while Reese was filming.
After the UK, Jake Maggie, Peter, Ramona and I think their mother went to Paris, there are pics, I think she finished filming.
UK, Paris and then DC.
The stroller in the car. Was that Jake's car? I thought Reese/Avon was fitting the bill for that trip.
That strller was different than the stroller in the park.
He also said niece/nephew as if he didn't know the gender, odd because kids over 2 are dressed according to their gender.
Girls can wear pants and unisex hats.
A baby stroller for a near 4-5 year old kid that we never ever saw in a stroller? We found the model and it was a travelling stroller for small babies.
This is why Jake can have BT hidden. Every sighting can be spin with the baby being either Ramona or the Chin’s kids. This is the reason in part why I think he chose to beard with a woman with kids. It’s the perfect cover.
How about the other clues? The ultrasound pic, the baby footprint on his shorts, the baby dribble stains on his sweater, etc.
Reese and Ryan will make sure Deacon isn't papped in a stroller unlike other 6 year olds that are pushed around in strollers while their parents are out shopping and theya re too tired or lazy.
Or the stroler in the car which is clearly different than the other one was a doll stroller for Ava, like the toy horse in the trunk.
BTW, I assumed the Car was rented by Reese, not Jake.
Mr. Edwards clearly has no idea what gender maggie's child is that's why he said niece/nephew, if so he would say neice even though it looks like he couldn't tell which. Must have been really young.
Thanks to whoever posted that facebook response. The guy just assumed as I suspected. Probably Ramona or the blonde's kid, who was probably a friend.
Or the stroler in the car which is clearly different than the other one was a doll stroller for Ava
The stroller was to big to be a toy, she is too old for such toys and no one would buy such toy in Paris to take it to US.
Next time you claim there is no proof there is a BT, ask yourself why you always assume the kids with him are Ramona or the Chin's kids or a friends' kid. It's the perfect cover. This is why BT is so well hidden. I think he hides at plain sight and people assume it's his niece or chin's kids or friends' kids. Never realise it's BT with him.
9:55: You obviously have no kids. Ava was 8 in July 2008, and she is not too old for a doll stroller. The toy horse that was in the trunk is just as big and it belonged to her, it was mentioned in the US weekly article.
Apprently the toy horse wasn't too big to take ack home and more of a pain in the ass to pack since it can't be folded like a traveling stroller.
Question: why would Jake take 2 stollers with him to Paris and pack one of the strollers in the trunk with toys Reese bought for her kids?
Why wasn't the baby in the traveling stroller in the park instead of a regular stroller since the "nanny' was traveling with them.
If jake took the kid out on Sunday at the Getty center with tons of people then he must have done so before and yet we have not heard about any sightings.
Odd that there was a follow-up sighting of Jake at the Getty and there was no mentin of a kid. I bet that that blonde and her kid left the Getty and jake was still there.
The drool, footprint etc, IMO were stains, dog prints, baby scan was prolly a prescription, such nonsense.
Also, Reese, Paul Rudd are in on it too.
If he was hidingin plain sight, there would be more sightings.
9:55: You obviously have no kids. Ava was 8 in July 2008, and she is not too old for a doll stroller.
She was 9 in September 2008 - way, way too old for a doll stroller.
That was NOT a doll stroller in the car.
Apprently the toy horse wasn't too big to take ack home
If I remember correctly, that horse was a baloon.
I bet that that blonde and her kid left the Getty and jake was still there.
Are you saying that Jake and the blonde woman just bumped into each other by chance?
Ummm I would think if it was Ramona he's be able to tell it was a girl.
If I remember correctly, that horse was a baloon.
It was my new sex doll Daddy gave me. Too bad it only lasted about 10 minutes before it popped. *cries*
She was 8 in july 2008, she turned 9 in sept.
Why would jake take 2 strolers to paris and pack one in a trunk with Reese's kids toys.
Balloon? The Us Weekly story definately said a toy horse for Ava. A balloon horse in a trunk of a car? I wil have to take a look.
The second sighting of Jake at the Getty w/o a mention of the kid or the blonde tells me that the blonde was a friend and the kid was hers otherwise the tweeter wouldhave mentioned both. They probably left Jake and he was on his own.
And please don't say that it was the nanny and she took the kid home while jake coninued at the Getty and go to the Farmers Market solo, what is the point of taking your kid out?
They probably left Jake and he was on his own.
Are you saying that Jake and the blonde woman just bumped into each other by chance?
or a friend. He was also with a blonde woman who was probably a few years older than he.
^^IMO that's how Jake gets away with being out with BT but not seen/connected with having a child of his own.
BT is bs and Ted is probably more than amused that even grown ups bought the tale.
Chut up!
10:44 AM, give me a break. BT believer's theories are beyond ridiculous.
Every sighting can be spin with the baby being either Ramona or the Chin’s kids.
Or a friend's or former assistant's kid. If people see him walking with an unknown blonde lady and a stroller are they going to run up to them and ask him "Is that your kid??" Don't think so.
10:52 go back to babble and wish for Reeke again.
10:52 AM, no I won't shut up. Some crazies' theories about BT make people who believe Jake is gay/bi look as lunatic. IMO Jake is not straight, not because some pretentious internet gossipist told me so, but because I have eyes.
10:52 go back to babble and wish for Reeke again.
Get a life!
Newsflash: Jake has friends we don't know about. How about Jake and this friend met up at the Getty, hung around for a bit and she left, simple. That would explain the second tweet of him at the Getty there was no mention of the blonde and the kid or a bit later when he was tweeted at the farmers market.
Ramona is very girly and if BT is over 2 and a boy, Mr. edwards in both cases would be able to ID by gender. The fact that he didn't/couldn't means the kid was young enough, months maybe where he couldn't determine.
Also for those who thought that guy juts had to know it was his kid , well he just proved he didn't . Also, yes he knew enough topoint out that the woman wasn't maggie but obviously he doesn't no the gender of her kid, hence the niece/nephew comment.
It the horse looks like a baloon and i also see a plastic toy sword, toys for Reese's kids I would assuem. Again, why would Jake pack stroller #2 in the trunk of a car with Reese's kids toys? If the stroller was for BT where was he that day, he had to be with them since the stroller was in the car.
Was he invisible that day? There sure were a lot of pics of them that day for that photo op.

10:17/10:38AM Even if you see a picture of Jake and BT, you will find a way to dismiss it too. It's ok. We understand you don't believe in BT.
Some of us believe there is a BT and there is some proof of it, no matter how much you explain otherwise. We have access to the same info and we have different opinions about it.
I believe that the reason why Jake is so successful hiding BT is because people always explain the kids around him as Ramona, chin's kids, friend's kids, assistant's kids or any other people's kids instead of his own kid.
10:38 AM, give it up. BTers are hopless. They believe Ted blindly and will believe in BT even when Jake is old and grey and we never see "the kid" ever.
And please don't say that it was the nanny and she took the kid home while jake coninued at the Getty and go to the Farmers Market solo, what is the point of taking your kid out?
LOL what's the point of having a nanny if they can't take the kid back to home while you continue with your day? Do you really think a 1-1/2 or 2 yr old can last going thru a museum AND a Farmers Market? No. They get cranky. One short outing is enough.
"10:44 AM, give me a break. BT believer's theories are beyond ridiculous."
10:52 you write just like UV/FL. Still over here arguing, eh?
The women who believe in BT are way too romantic and give too much trust to a slick gossip columnist. What a romantic thought of Austin, Jake and BT living in domestic bliss. And one day there will be a happy ending, Jake comes out and we regularly see pics of the happy family out and about.
Ladies, this probably won't happen.
LOL 11:11 you are wrong on so many counts.
Dear Ted:
I have a question about Toothy Tile: did he start out his career being funny or as a serious actor? Thanks!
—V
Dear 20 Gay Questions:
Depends on how you mean—stage, screen, otherwise? But, let’s say this much: Toothy certainly became best known for being uber serious.
Dear Ted:
My question for you: like actors, do musicians have "handlers" or suits who reign them in from time to time? It seems J.Mayer's douchebaggery multiples exponentially each week and I wonder where his team is hiding. It seems actors are told who to date, to stay in the closet, and how to maintain a well crafted persona. I assume there is more freedom in the record biz? What’s the explanation for why Toothy is still in the closet and Kanye and Mayer are left to their own devices?
—Kristen
Dear Singin’ Out of Tune:
Musicians definitely have handlers, but not even the best in the biz can stop some of these celebs from showing their true colors. But who do you think prods these screw ups to make public apologies afterward?
Bitch Back!
You mock the babblers but you are even worse. You ignore answering questions like why in hell would Jake bring his kid and to strollers to Paris for a trip/photo-op paid for probably by Avon with Reese and her kids? Why would he pack a 2nd stroller in the backseat of a car filled with her kids toys? Why would he take a stroller on a shopping trip where it looks like she was toys for her kids and apparently BT because of the stroller yet we don't se the kid.
He has hidden his kid all this time yet he chooses sunday to take the kid to the getty with the nanny and then the kid gets cranky and is sent home.
Even though museums have children/family areas, even getty that guy never said that he was in the children's area of the getty, therefore I would assume he was in the regular exhibition area, no place to take a 2 1/2 year old, an infant wouldn't care.
One thing about the babblers, they were right about David Modgliani when they said that he wasin ATX to see him. It was dismissed as BS, but it was true. Meanwhile there was no evidence that Austin was even in the state of TX that weekend, just speculation.
At the time I just thought it was a lucky guess, now I wonder if they actually knew.
How old is Deacon here (isn't he too young to suck on his thumb?). Here we have his pretty, brunette nanny with his stroller in the background:
stroller
^^It's from April 2007.

"How old is Deacon here (isn't he too young to suck on his thumb?). Here we have his pretty, brunette nanny with his stroller in the background"
You can see the date of the picture on the link. It's pre-Reeke April 14 2007. That woman is a friend of the Chin who has a kid. You can see a peek of the leg of the baby in the arms of the woman. The stroller belongs to that woman's baby. It's not Deacons.
It may be a year before the Paris pics but Reese is carrying him and he is too big to be carried IMO. He got tired and asked to be picked up, Ryan does the same thing. I remember people commenting on those pics saying he was too big to be carried.
Deacon was 4 in 2007, too big to be carried and sucking his thumb. It's curious that the woman is carrying her kid and it's not in the stroller, but the stroller is open.
How much you wanna bet Reese spotted the paps and took him out and carried him because he was crying.
Can't have the paps see her big ass kid in a stroller like a haus fraus.
I have seen that woman before with Reese and what I assume was her son who looked around Deacon's age, i guess she has another kid.
11:35, this looks like a kids leg, but is it really? I'll try to find the X 17 pic set.
I think it is the nanny. Judge for yourself:
pics
^^^ Reeke looking REALLY pathetic. lol
This is the set. The chin and Deacon with a friend and her son.
x17online
I found many vids and one is of Reese carrying thumb sucking Deacon. I admit I was wrong, this woman, even though she looks a bit like the nanny, is not the nanny, she's with her kid. I apologize.
videos
At the time I just thought it was a lucky guess, now I wonder if they actually knew.
What did babblers "know"? That David lives in ATX?
Babblers did know that David lives in ATX + babblers pretend that Austin doesn't exist = babblers will never admit that Jake could have visited David and Austin or used David's birthday as a cover.
11:25 why don't you go over to babble and join them. They need more people.
He has hidden his kid all this time yet he chooses sunday to take the kid to the getty with the nanny and then the kid gets cranky and is sent home.
Why are you making up that "kid gets cranky and is sent home" crap?!
Those pics are revealing. First of all if she is the nanny than she is carrying her kid to work, if not it's a friend. Second, Reese is carrying her 3 1/2 year old son in all of these pics even though he can clearly walk on his own He looks cranky and is sucking his thumb so he didn't want to walk anymore.
third, if the stroller belongs to the friend and her kid, you think that she would have the kid in the stroller instead of carrying her kid and pushing the stroller, kind of awkward. Her face looks tense also.
I bet they took the stroller out with them and was taking turns with it instead of taking 2. Reese saw the paps and took cranky Deacon out to carry him so he wouldn't be paped in the stroller.
The friend and her kid dissappears and Reese is still seen carrying Deacon, I think on occasions she does put him in a stroller, did in 07 and 08 when he would have been 4 1/2 (JULY '08).
IMO If the stroler belonged to the friend then she would have put the kid in it, no was Reese was carrying Deacon around like that until the paps showed up.
Please no more pics of that phony asshole. I thought we were done looking at that cunt!
Those pics are revealing.
Huh?! What those pictures have to do with what happened 1,5 years later?
Reese looks stupid carrying a huge kid. IMO the stroller belongs to the friend and her child wanted out of it, and Deacon was walking but as soon as she saw the paps Controlling Domineering Possessive Insecure PR Phony Ass Mama picked up her oversized baby to make it look like she's oh so loving. She does the same thing now, holding the kids' hands with her death grip. What a fucking weirdo.
^^She carried him alot as well as Ryan. Deacon is cute but a big baby.
So what? No one carried Deacon in Paris and there was no Deacon in stroller in Paris.
That stroller in the x17 pic is waaaay too small for Deacon. His legs would've been dragging on the ground. He was never in it. It's for the other kid who is much younger and smaller.
So whoever is trying to prove a point that the Paris stroller was for him, you fail.
I've seen kids bigger than that in strollers feet dragging. Reese was not being "protective" Deacon is spoiled and I bet he has a fit if you don't pick him up. I've seen Ryan picking him up in pics and people commenting that he is too big to be carried.
Still doesn't expain why the friend is schlepping her kid around and the stroller is right there.
How do you know that noone carried Deacon in Paris? No pics on IHJ? The paps weren't following them 24/7.
Yes, paps did follow them 24/7, that was the only reason for reeking in Paris - Reeke were working on Us Weekly cover and cover story.
Well if they were following them 24/7 in Paris then no way he would have his cabbage patch BT and the 'nanny" hanging around the park. And don't say they were thrown off guard and the nanny showed up before the session was over, the paps were following them 24/7 she should have never shown up!!!
And don't forget the day before when they were following them 24/7 with stroller # 2 in the trunk of the car and no sign of the cabbage patch BT!!!
"I've seen kids bigger than that in strollers feet dragging."
We've all seen a lot of things; it doesn't mean they are right or that it applies to every instance to everyone. Go back to Babble and if you have something substantial to post here be my guest. But until then your argument and poor examples don't hold water.
LOL Babbler is trying so hard to discredit the Paris stroller.
"But until then your argument and poor examples don't hold water."
As if your arguments and examples that BT exists were so rich. Please.
Still doesn't expain why the friend is schlepping her kid around and the stroller is right there.
You don't know kids very well do you.
"As if your arguments and examples that BT exists were so rich. Please."
At least we aren't arguing on and on and on and on that an oversized child belongs in a smaller child's stroller.
Is the car stroller and the park stroller the same?
At least we aren't arguing on and on and on and on that an oversized child belongs in a smaller child's stroller.
And what is so smart about being convinced that BT and nanny joined an arranged photo op and Jake acting as if they don't exist (he hasn't exactly the best poker face out there and you all know that).
12:38: No.
12:38: No.
Then I wonder why they needed 2 strollers for a little baby for a few days?
It's obvious the sighting of Jake with his kid on Valentines day made some people very nervous and they are trying very hard to discredit BT with any argument possible.
There is trolling on OMG too.
BT in Paris
^^^ Silly trolly! lol
1:01 PM - yes trolly, we do know that you are trolling OMG and WFT2.
That stupid ring?! Babblers can't stand anything remotely gay about Jake.
So how's Babble doing these days? Any posts?! LOL if they took the daily amount of comments that they post here and put them over there, they would have 5 pages a day!
1:10 PM - Come on trolly, tell us why Jake's pinky ring pisses you off!
Babblers only liked Jake's rings when they thought Bitchface was wearing them!
Duh!
Rings are gay!
Babblers only like 100% heterosexual Jake.
"Babblers only liked Jake's rings when they thought Bitchface was wearing them!"
Why are you so obessed with these stupid, obsessed babblers (UV etc.)? These fangirls are as bad as the BT crowd. Obsessed and delusional. Sad.
1:16 PM #3 - you are just confirming that Jake's pinky ring pisses babblers off. GOOD!
Posted on OMG by Stubborn TB
I was looking for the interview where Jake was talking about the rings because I'm pretty sure he said that one of the two gold rings were from him mom, but never specified whether it was the Carpe Diem or the Create on.
Didn't find it yet, but I found this while googling:
This is the headline that Just Jared has up in his 2006 archives (search for Jake, there's only one entry for him on that site).
And this is the headline you get when you actually click on the post.
Looks like Jared went through his posts and edited out the Toothy Tile mentions. Pretty obviously, too, since he usually only uses these weird rhymes in his headlines.
Are there any ideas on how Ted came up with the name Toothy Tile? I'm curious because it seems like a lot of his BV names either rhyme or have the same syllables as the real name and Toothy Tile doesn't, with Jake Gyllenhaal. Does it have another meaning or is Ted just getting more creative with the BV names now? I kind of get the Tooth part; tooth fairy, sweet tooth - but not Tile. What would Tile refer to? Any ideas?
Good for you guys. Stick to your guns.
Someone is really, really doing their best to argue an opinion that has every right to be expressed or thought.
Arguing way too much. Quite insistantly. Quite relentlessly.
Wish I could stick around. My lunch hour is about gone.
First clue towards discomfort & worry.
Wow, I need to change my avatar, lol.

6 minutes ago
^^LOL they can get Biel and Topher right but can't spell Gyllenhaal or remember that it's Jake not Jack
I like the fact that Jake is wearing the Carpe Diem pinky ring his mother gave him several years ago, it obviously has sentimental value to him. Just wondering why he is wearing it again.

Jake Gyllenhaal: Men's Bathroom Floor Expert
During an interview with the Daily Mail, Jake Gyllenhaal was asked who he would like to be stuck in an elevator with?
He answered, "I know this isn't quite the same, but I was stuck in a women's bathroom once with Susan Sarandon. She was interviewing me for a magazine and we couldn't find a battery for our recording device, so we ended up in a women's bathroom. I discovered two things that day: that the floor in a women's bathroom is colder than the floor in the men's. And believe me I've spent a lot of time on the floor of a men's bathroom so I should know! And women pee louder than men do, even though we might not expect it. Maybe it's just American women. I don't know."
What on Earth was Jake doing on the floor of a men's bathroom? Amateur! It's best when you're bent over the toilet. Why get your hand's dirty?
http://www.dlisted.com/node/16976
The Toothy Tile name was given years before Jake told that story.
The girl with Jake in the airport looks thrilled!
The girl didn't even notice Jake - she'll be sorry!
The Toothy Tile name was given years before Jake told that story.
The story isn't the point - bathroom tiles are.
There is a long residential street near the coast named Ashland Avenue in Santa Monica/Venice Beach.
The story isn't the point - bathroom tiles are.
You're putting the cart before the horse. The Tile moniker came first; then the bathroom tile story years later. Ted couldn't have named TT because of that story; it was known yet.
correction: it wasn't known yet.
I thought the girl was with Jake. A production person?
First things first: where are the 2 kissing Olympic guys?
I thought the girl was with Jake. A production person?
Girl wasn't with Jake, she was just at the airport at the same time.
2:50, can you refresh my memory? What has Ashley or Ashland to do with. Thanks.

Dear Vicey Valentines:
They're planning on making a big mess; does that make you happy?
IIRC no one brought up that Ashley is Austin's sister's name.
OMG comments
He got really narrow again.
When is Jake going to make a good movie or have a good performance again, so that people talk about his work and not only his private life for a change?
Perez: Reese and her new man
So, has Reese been dating this guy all along? Is it real, despite the horrible talboid description of it? Or did Reeke scare off any potential new celebrity boyfriends so CAA had to "hire" own of their own? Inquiring minds want to know. (Yes, I know, it is sick of me to care.)
