Darkness.
A SOUND slowly builds: the rhythmic rocking of a TRAIN'S WHEELS over RAILROAD TRACKS...
INT. HIGH SPEED TRAIN - MORNING
COLTER jolts awake. Sunlight hits his face.
He blinks. A stunned beat. He's disoriented.
Slowly he turns his head to one side...
PASSENGERS. Filling most of the seats. Office workers on their morning commute into a city.
Turning the other way, he‘s confronted with a window. Trees flash by, splitting the rising sunlight into a hypnotic strobe pattern.
Colter looks to be thirty years old. A military buzz cut. A disciplined physique, lean and spare, almost gaunt. Skin burnished by years of desert sandstorms and equatorial sun. His expression, prematurely aged by combat, is perpetually wary, sometimes predatory, accustomed to trouble.
Despite his military bearing, Colter wears a button down shirt and navy sports coat. On his wrist is a digital watch. It reads 7:40 a.m.
He swallows. A strange, creeping panic.
He has no idea where he is.

What I respect are (the few) interviewers and journalists who respectfully cut through the bull.
No interviewer or journalist has any right over someone's personal feelings about personal matters.
Lainey is an idiot. what she says means shit.

You can say that again. Killed the moment? The entire thing up until that point was so vapid and jr. high school. Why are people so afraid of honesty? There was nothing wrong with Nate's question, it certainly wasn't overly personal.
My mom asked why Nate didn't ask Jake about Matilda? LOL. I guess my mom would have a short career as a journalist. Posing inappropriate questions and such. LOL.
Re : Heath
"Some people say they were barely friends anyway"
Some people are clearly right.
Re : Anne Hathaway
"She seems to like him so much and he kinda...ignores her. Ugh."
Because she knows gay men, and he's not fooling her.
Some people are clearly right.
1:14, can you explain why you think that? I'm genuinely curious.
No interviewer or journalist has any right over someone's personal feelings about personal matters
No inquiries about personal feelings or personal matters allowed? So you are saying Nate Berkus had no right to ask Heath that question?
Yet you give yourself permission to endlessly speculate on the public internet about Jake's personal feelings about all kinds of things. His intimate sexual activities. His physical location at any minute of the day. And you do it so bravely, so unashamedly, don't you, Ms Anonymous.
But what you do is not an invasion. As long as you don't say anything or ask anything to Jake's face, all kinds of personal digging and speculating is fine.
A reasonable question by an accredited reporter at a professional industry event is not fine, however. A straightforward question that Jake has the fair option of answering or not, that he can defend himself against if he chooses, is not allowed.
'No interviewer or journalist has any right over someone's personal feelings about personal matters.' You make me laugh. Asking a personal question does not mean a journalist has violated 'a right'. As long as the question is polite and reasonable, it means they are doing their job. The person being asked can decline to answer. It's called journalism.
If you ran the world, Oprah, The View, Diane Sawyer, 60 Minutes, People magazine - even the New York Times- wouldn't exist. Funny thing, it's thanks to all those personally invasive journalists that you know the shit you know about poor Jake. Hypocrite.
Why are people so afraid of honesty? There was nothing wrong with Nate's question, it certainly wasn't overly personal.
ITA
If he wants to remain silent, he can always say "I'd prefer not to talk about that, thank you." Easy as pie. No one can force him if he doesn't want to.
You seem to think he can't be treated like a normal adult. Celebrities are coddled divas who get their asses kissed 24/7. You don't have to buy in to that brownnosing, you know. What I respect are (the few) interviewers and journalists who respectfully cut through the bull.
ITA with that too.
Re : Anne Hathaway
"She seems to like him so much and he kinda...ignores her. Ugh."
Because she knows gay men, and he's not fooling her.
Or he doesn't see a quality woman even if she is in front of him and chases peroxide blondes who treat him like crap? That is, of course, if he is straight. Many things indicate that he is not though, so you are probably right.
That was Jake's decision and everyone should respect it. We have the right to be pissed off, to have our wishes and speculations, the rest is up to Jake.
Jake 'dated' Reese Withersppon. That was Jake's decision and everyone should respect it.
Why do I get the feeling the two posts above were written by the same Babbler?!
How dare anyone put Jake in an on-the-spot uncomfortable situation by asking about Heath! Unlike someone like Michelle, who probably gets asked by Matilda every day where her Daddy is.
Yes, how inconvenient for the man child to remember his fallen co-star--someone with whom he will FOREVER be linked to by virtue of being paired together in an iconic film--when nearly EVERYONE who Heath worked with in TDK and the Dr. Parnassus film as well as people from other films (i.e. Matt Damon) has commented publicly and in Damon's case, with heartfelt sincerity and genuine emotion over the loss of Heath. It's TWO YEARS LATER--time to man up and stop acting like a coddled child. Jake's pain (whether it exists or not) is NOT greater than that of Heath's parents and best friends--it isn't. I find it annoying at this point and kudos for Nate for voicing what a lot of fans have wanted to ask Jake about Heath since Heath's passing.
Sorry Jake but Anne Hathway or Natalie Portman or TObey are NOT your most important co-star. Time to grow up and be an adult and stop acting like an evasive child.
I guess my mom would have a short career as a journalist.
LOL! Count on Moms to cut thru the crap.
Is It Possible To Be Gay In Hollywood?
Rumors have circulated that a star would be on the cover of The Advocate and finally announce himself as gay. I knew who it would be, he has been toying with the idea for years. Sean Hayes may not be the huge star that you thought it would be, but in my book this makes him a star.
In a world where people are so close minded that people have to actually put on a show to keep a job in this business, this is a ray of light. Though a small one, Hayes should be thought of as brave man. No matter whether you are a working actor or a has been, it takes a lot of guts to come out of the closet.
I would hope that this little movement would actually make people see that coming out as gay isn't the nail in your coffin. Look at Neil Patrick Harris, he will always be known as Doogie Howser M.D, that smart kid that somehow became a doctor. He was forced out of the closet by a certain douche bag, but he took lemons and made lemonade. He soared to success as a womanizer on How I Met Your Mother and the gay label has not affected him at all. Would he have been considered to play Prince Of Persia or a lead in a romantic movie? No, and that is what keeps major stars from coming out.
It has nothing to do with the actual star. Most of us want to come out, want to leave an honest life and not lie to the people that have pretty much made our careers, the fans. But a lot of us have dreams of being a HW success and coming out about our sexuality puts a limit on our success. Many stars have come out, but not one star that you have waited for or suspected.
Just once, would it be possible for an A-List star to admit that they are gay and still maintain the same amount of success? Let's say hypothetically that Tom Cruise came out. Would you still go to see his huge blockbuster with him saving the world, acting all macho and kissing girls? Or if by some chance, Jake Gyllenhaal came out as gay. Prince Of Persia would never have happened with him because the gay image would be in people's head. Not only that, studios would never use an outspoken homosexual as one of their action leads. It's unheard of and if you ask the studios, never going to happen.
And now that stars have put so much effort into putting the image out that you expect, if they were to come out as gay it is possible the backlash could ruin them. If you have always seen them with a woman, or a girlfriend, or even if they have kids, learning that this whole time they were gay, would ruin your perception of them. They would have to admit that everything you believed about them and saw, was a lie.
In general, it's not just the stars fault, nor does it lay on the studio's shoulders. The studios still believe middle America is the consensus and that the world isn't ready for a gay movie star/action hero. But everyone's image of gay is so strewn that people have no idea and think of all gays as rainbow riding fairies. I have news for you, gays come in all shape, sizes and personalities. And it makes you think why we should label ourselves to begin with. We are human, all of us. Isn't that enough?
We have asked you who you thought of as "Definitely Gay" in HW. These are the popular answers:
•Taylor Lautner
•Tom Cruise
•Jensen Ackles
With these being 3 of the most popular star right now, give or take a little with Jensen, it seems everyone has their mind made up about them already. Tom Cruise has been thought to be gay for his entire career, which has not made the slightest bit of difference when it comes to his box office income.
Seems to me that Hollywood should realize that no one is stupid. We think of a lot of our stars as gay anyway, but we still go and see their movies. It's called acting for a reason and as long as the movie can entertain us, we will go and see it. But if the movie is shit, gay or not, it's going to bomb. We need a A-Lister to come out and start a revolution. Any ideas?
The Gossip Boy
LOL
Rachel who?
Why do I get the feeling the two posts above were written by the same Babbler?!
LOL. Babblers are nothing if not transparent. And there's an interesting dichotomy among them; some don't want Heath and Jake to have ever really been good friends ("tainted" you know)and use that as the excuse for his silence; and others try to use the excuse that he's "grieving" too much - as if his pain is greater than anyone else's.
Sean Hayes needed a little cheap publicity to re-ignite his stalled career. The Advocate article is about as interesting as watching paint dry. It's a little like Reality TV in print.
McJakey & the Mighty Opes!
It’s the new campaign: make McJakey happen!
And it sounds like you’re all over it too. Well...most of you. The McGoslings can’t move on. And they hit me hard with hate yesterday. Here’s a sample from Linda in Calgary:
Stop pushing that stupid idiot Jake Gyllenhale on Rachel. Rachel and Ryan belong together, you will see. Sometimes people just need time apart to figure things out and they will end up together in the end. So sick of you making fun of everything. I don’t care if you laugh and mock. What’s right is right and what’s real is real. You were a fan of Rachel and Ryan, how can you turn on something so quick? I just don’t understand why you wouldn’t want to support Canada’s love story. Are you just jealous because you want Ryan to yourself? Newsflash Lainey. You are ugly and disgusting and Ryan would never choose you before the most perfect person for him. So give it up!
The problem for Linda and her fellow lunatics however is that even the Mighty Opes seems to be endorsing our new favourite imaginary couple. Thanks to all of you who sent in the video from yesterday’s Oprah Winfrey Show. It’s Jakey and Rachel backstage and he’s holding her purse and she’s looking at him with light in her eyes and it’s so f-cking cute and there’s a fangirl in me who can’t get enough.
Click here to watch their interview with Nate Berkus until he kills the moment with a question about Heath Ledger. Jake was gracious and handled it beautifully and hopefully afterwards they played the awkward, um, like, when will I see you again game, and touched hands accidentally and pulled them away, and thought about each other all night afterwards.

"our new favourite imaginary couple"
LOL. Well, Lainey got the imaginary part right.
What I respect are (the few) interviewers and journalists who respectfully cut through the bull.
Please define "bull" in this case.
Journalists aren't entitled to private information and comments just because someone is a celebrity.
as if his pain is greater than anyone else's.
Mommy where's daddy? Is he coming home soon? Will you and daddy take me to the circus? Look, I made this for daddy! Mommy why do you look at me and cry? Mommy where did daddy go? Did I do something wrong? Why did daddy leave? Is he coming back?
2:37 PM - aww. Fact is non of her mom's future boyfriends will love her like Heath did. I just hope Kim Ledger doesn't screw her over and "gifts" her Heath's estate when she's 18 as he promised.
LOL I wonder if the same thing would have happened if Jake was paired up presenting with anyone else (female) at the Oscars.
LOL I wonder if the same thing would have happened if Jake was paired up presenting with anyone else (female) at the Oscars.
I hate to say it and I'll be called a babbler for it, but from the vid and pics I've seen they seemed to have chemistry. OTOH, he and Chin NEVER had chemistry.
Killed the moment? The entire thing up until that point was so vapid and jr. high school. Why are people so afraid of honesty? There was nothing wrong with Nate's question, it certainly wasn't overly personal.
As we can see from the video, Lainey is right about that. (I'm sure Nate meant well)
I hate to say it and I'll be called a babbler for it, but from the vid and pics I've seen they seemed to have chemistry.
What kind of chemistry?
Jake strikes me as an immature, egocentric man who probably thinks his hurt and issues and bigger than anyone else’s.
Based on what? The fact that he kept his feeling to himself?
Jake strikes me as an immature, egocentric man who probably thinks his hurt and issues are bigger than anyone else’s. But I really think he has a good heart.
What kind of chemistry?
They seemed to enjoy each others company and were smiling at each other a lot.
they seemed to have chemistry.
Right up to the point where Jake runs off with Fletcher and leaves Rachel eating his dust!
Austin had chemistry with Sophia until they started bearding. Yes, the Chin was a dreadful choice. But it's not going to be better with anyone else either.
DOWN WITH BEARDS!!!!!
As we can see from the video, Lainey is right about that. (I'm sure Nate meant well)
Right about what? That he "killed" some stupid, giggly jr. high school babbling? Again, why are people so afraid of honesty? It didn't have to be an awkward moment and wouldn't have been if everyone hadn't acted like Jake needs to be "protected" from something for the last two years.
They seemed to enjoy each others company and were smiling at each other a lot.
Well of course. They were in front of the television cameras. It's called "acting."
I have to be protected from reality!
The babbler who keeps pushing Jake/Rachel needs to stop. They only presented at the Oscars together, don't try to make it into something it isn't.
Well of course. They were in front of the television cameras. It's called "acting."
He sure didn't do a good acting job with the Chin.
Anyway I think they did enjoy each others company and the joke about her being his baby mama was a hint that he found her to be a great person. IMO.
The babbler who keeps pushing Jake/Rachel needs to stop. They only presented at the Oscars together, don't try to make it into something it isn't.
I was just saying they seemed to enjoy each others company. I didn't say I want them to date. In fact, I don't. I like him with other people.
I'm starting to like Gossip Boy's columns. In answer to his question:
Would you still go to see his [movie star who is gay in his real life] huge blockbuster with him saving the world, acting all macho and kissing girls?
Yes, yes, yes, a thousand times, yes, and here's why:
1. He's an actor, he should be able to play any role whatsoever.
2. I personally have no problem getting lost in the story that a good director, screenplay and actors want to tell, regardless of who they are in their real lives.
It would be great!
Rachel McAdams: Jake Gyllenhaal's Baby Mama?
Jake Gyllenhaal and Rachel McAdams were spotted having a “prolonged conversation” in the lobby of the Kodak Theatre, according to People.
He even introduced her to a friend, saying, “This is Rachel McAdams, she’s the mother of my child!”
Earlier in the evening at the 2010 Oscars, the duo presented the award for Best Adapted Screenplay to screenwriter Geoffrey Fletcher for Precious.
Over the weekend, Jake was seen flirting with G4’s Olivia Munn.
Just Jared
I think Rachel is very aware of her cuteness and she's playing it up. I don't find her very intelligent either even though she was in college as far as I know.
So, no I'm definitely not crazy about this "imaginary relationship".
Just watched the Nate/Jack video again and Jake was more than surprised. He actually looked a little panic stricken at first. As soon as Nate said that he knew he and Heath were good friends, Jake says "Uh huh" and he completely freezes up. You can almost read his mind: "OhmygodheaskedmeaboutHeathOhmygodheaskedmeaboutHeathOhmygodheaskedmeaboutHeathOhmygodheaskedmeaboutHeath." And everything about his silence and this interview begs the question - Why is everyone else who knew Heath able to talk about him except for Jake? It's just plain odd.
Some people are clearly right.
1:14, can you explain why you think that? I'm genuinely curious.
1:14 either disappeard or doesn't have a good explanation why he thinks Jake and Heath weren't friends.
Why is everyone else who knew Heath able to talk about him except for Jake?
I'm complicated! I'm more sensitive and deep and I hurt more than anyone else! Michelle raising Heath's child doesn't even begin to compare with what pain I'm going through!
1:14 either disappeard or doesn't have a good explanation why he thinks Jake and Heath weren't friends.
Or maybe 1:14 is working or shopping or reading or doing a hundred other real life things and isn't worried about sitting in front of his/her computer every minute just to satisfy you.
Cut it out, 3:13 PM. We don't know how Jake feels and he doesn't owe us an explanation for his silence.
LOL 3:17. Go back to Babble.
Or maybe 1:14 is working or shopping or reading or doing a hundred other real life things and isn't worried about sitting in front of his/her computer every minute just to satisfy you.
I had to ask again, because I was genuinely curious about his opinion. No need to be bitchy.
Go back to Babble.
What are you talking about? You know how Jake feels and why he stayed silent? Can you read his mind?
LOL apparently the concept of discussing and speculation on a blog is lost on 3:17/3:20 babblers, et al.
3:44 PM, I'm not a babbler, I just have a problem with people making fun of Jake's feelings for Heath.
3:48 PM, 3:44 PM thinks s/he's so smart and knows it all. With emphasis on the word "thinks".
Aww 3:48. As if Jake gives a rats ass about your bleeding heart. He doesn't need you to protect him from anonymous people's opinions on a public blog. Get over it.
3:57 PM, why are you here? You seem to be a trouble maker and unable to have a mature conversation w/o insuling fellow posters. You just throw your opinion about matters without any explanation. If you think you are so smart and above it all, why are you here?
I don't see the need for trashing Jake when we have no idea how he feels. Opinions - yes, making fun - seems wrong to me.
More scoop for you on Jake Gyllenhaal and Olivia Munn's hangout sesh over the weekend.
The two were seen talking for a while at Weinstein's pre-Oscar party Saturday night, seeming more friendly than flirty. And while we thought the pair was totally random, we're told that Jake and Olivia may be getting together again soon...
The Prince of Persia actor and G4 host first met Saturday at the Night Before pre-Oscars party, at the Beverly Hills Hotel.
A source tells E! News a mutual friend of Olivia and Jake's introduced the pretty pair. Who? Jamie Foxx.
"Once they met, Jake didn't leave her side the entire night," says an eyewitness to the seemingly odd couple. "They looked like they were having fun, both laughing a lot."
Afterward, Munn left first for Weinstein's party at Soho House, and Jake followed with a crew of a few guy-pals in tow.
That's where they were spotted chatting on the rooftop patio for part of the party, where Jake dished he was hitting the Oscar party circuit to celebrate sister Maggie Gyllenhaal's nomination and just to hang with his friends.
Hmmm, but was J.G. just trying to elude prying eyes in order to have a little private party with Miss Munn later on? As if!
"Nothing happened romantically," says an insider close to the situation.
However, our potential love spy 'fesses that Olivia and Jake exchanged numbers and plan to hang out again soon.
"He's definitely single and wants to date girls," stresses the source.
Say it ain't so! Is Jake on the prowl for another Reese Witherspoon? We so prefer single Gyllenhaal—no coffee dates and just those sexy smiles for days!
With his letdown Prince of Persia flick coming out soon, Jake's going to need some female arm candy. Just wonder if Olivia's up for being his babe of choice?

Is Jake desperate for another beard?
I don't see the need for trashing Jake when we have no idea how he feels. Opinions - yes, making fun - seems wrong to me.
Awwww. Then scroll. To you, "trashing Jake" is saying anything less than glowing praise and having less than submissive holy reverence. You'd be happier over at Babble.
Jake said...
I'm complicated! I'm more sensitive and deep and I hurt more than anyone else! Michelle raising Heath's child doesn't even begin to compare with what pain I'm going through!
Is this an opinion?
Oh c'mon! Who honestly thought he'd come out anytime soon? If he comes out then it's gonna be when he's old and grey.
"Please read posts."
LOL you need to read the full post that was already included: "LOL apparently the concept of discussing and speculation on a blog is lost on 3:17/3:20 babblers, et al."
I would accuse you of playing stupid 4:09 #1, but it's obvious you're not playing stupid; you are stupid.
YES 4:16, it was an opinion. GET THE FUCK OVER IT.
To you, "trashing Jake" is saying anything less than glowing praise and having less than submissive holy reverence.
Nonsense. I have a problem with people who insist on making fun of Jake's feelings about Heath. Since we can't know how Jake feels it would be nice to give him a break about that one thing. Wasn't that video enough?
"Is Jake desperate for another beard?"
Is the Pope catholic?
Actually Jake is torn between trying to look like a man who doesn't need a beard (young Clooney sans bimbette) and a man who used to have a beard that his fan-target base actually believed to be genuine (repentant, reluctant faker forced into a difficult arrangement for professional reasons).
The former strategy is for his straight female and male fans, and the latter strategy is for his gay-male fans. Lesbians don't care.
4:18 PM - are you the same poster who keeps on insulting people over and over? You are a smart ass and annoying.
It’s always amusing working with Jake Gyllenhaal. He’s just the greatest... -JM

4:23 p - Sceptical (ie. with an IQ above 90) straight female and male fans might accept the second strategy because they really like Jake, even though they knew that Reeke was a joke. The first strategy is for the idiotic, sexually frustrated, non-homophobic straight girls who won't spend $10 on PoP unless they are sure that he's straight, and idiotic blatantly homophobic video fanboys who won't spend $10 on Pop unless they know that the 'Brokeback' dude is not gay.
With his letdown Prince of Persia flick coming out soon, Jake's going to need some female arm candy. Just wonder if Olivia's up for being his babe of choice?
Ted is worse than Star magazine!
I wonder why Jake avoided talking about Heath in public. Judging by the public reaction, they don't seem to care that much. They are more interested in the Rachel/Jake thing. If Jake's reason or one of the reasons was to avoid attention, well it's obviously not that big a deal to most (anymore?). It looks like people cared more about what DDL, Johnny Depp etc. said.
@Marty2634 Jake Gyllenhaal was very sweet and polite. He seems shy--and his humility was very apparent...a truly gifted actor & human being

Because he hates crying in public?

I don't think you can compare what Jake said on Sunday night to Nate to what DDL or Johnny Depp or Matt Damon, etc. said. Not the same thing at all. If he actually spoke about him on his own and we heard some genuine thoughts when he wasn't caught off guard, I think people would care more. I mean what did he actually "say" about Heath? Nothing really, he just stated the obvious. He was clearly a bit shaken up by the whole thing, though - and not just surprised, which makes the whole thing even more mysterious/strange. And, no I'm not "making fun" of Jake - just giving my impressions of his Nate interview.
Was he sincere or playing?
From the moment Jake registers the question about Heath, to the moment Nate apologizes: ...

Thanks for posting!
If Jake's reason or one of the reasons was to avoid attention
I don't think so. He only attracted more attention by not saying anything.
I wonder why Oprah didn’t air the part with the question. The Jake/Rachel plant from People sounds suspicious, maybe Jake panicked re being asked about Heath and they decided they needed a story to kill that little quote Nate got for him (as lame as it was) i.e. a diversion. Not to mention that the Jake/Rachel bs is straight PR, something Jake seems to be desperate for what with PoP approaching. Two birds with one stone.

Brothers promotion - was Heath officially on the "don't ask" list?
I would bet my $$$ on it.
So Jake was relaxed, off guard and he forgot that Oscar reporters didn't get the memo.
I'm reading a few gossip blogs that rave about how they want Jake & Rachel together because they look so good togehter. This brought to my mind the old movie studios who paired up their big closted stars with the pretty actress of the month. Are these bloggers any different than the old studios? Why do they want to see Jake hooked up so badly? Anyway, if that couple happens it would just add more suspicion to Jake having relationships for PR. It's almost like he is putting a hand over Olivia Munn and Rachel McAdam's head to see which gets the biggest applause.
I mean, for instance, when Depp paid tribute to Heath, Lainey went on and on how she didn't think it was scripted, that it sounded just like Depp, how great it was. And when Jake finally said something, she described it, I'll paraphrase, as a bad moment. WTF? I guess, I don't get it. LOL.
Moving on now!
Can someone post what Johnny Depp said?
"Though the circumstances of my involvement are extremely heartrending and unbelievably sad, I feel privileged to have been asked aboard to stand in on behalf of dear Heath ... He was the only player out there breathing heavy down the back of every established actor's neck with a thundering and ungovernable talent that came up on you quick, hissing rather mischievously with that cheeky grin, 'Hey ... get on out of my way boys, I'm coming through!' And does he ever!!!"
"Can someone post what Johnny Depp said?"
I was just about to do that. LOL.
See above!
JD also revealed that he named part of his island after Heath. But I'm sure you all knew that already. ;)
Don't Ask, Don't Tell list:
1. Gayness
2. BT
3. Heath
4. Reeke
It's almost like he is putting a hand over Olivia Munn and Rachel McAdam's head to see which gets the biggest applause.
LOL. Is this before or after the beard audition where they prove they can open doors on their own and are able to distract Jake's gaze from Paris Fountain Boys?
6:50 PM, thanks for posting. Very nice words indeed, Johnny Depp is true gentleman and friend.
^^^ a true gentleman and friend
Did someone else have the impression that Jake was angered that the interviewer with his question diverged attention from Maggie and her nomination? Jake quickly changed the subject to her and her nod. Perhaps that's also what seemed to anger him about the question?

OMG I just had an awful thought. What if Rachel McAdams is pregnant (by another guy) and Jake's going to marry her and pretend it's his, a la the Katie Holmes/Tom Cruise/Chris Klein saga?
6:50 PM, thanks for posting.
:)
LOL Jake's PR is probably looking for a desperate but classy, 2-3 months pregnant blonde actress who isn't going to marry or admit to who the father is.
7:07 PM, are you trying to ruin our evening? It's working! lol
Sorry!
"It's almost like he is putting a hand over Olivia Munn and Rachel McAdam's head to see which gets the biggest applause."
ITA. Perhaps his PR is trying to get a feel for public opinion before they pick the next beard. After all, one of the biggest problems for Reeke from day 1 was that everyone kept saying how they had no chemistry and looked awkward together.
Rachel is deffo getting a lot of applause from JIS fans.
Did someone else have the impression that Jake was angered that the interviewer with his question diverged attention from Maggie and her nomination? Jake quickly changed the subject to her and her nod.
I don't think so. Jake used Maggie to say something coherent and avoid talking more about Heath.
He obviously still feels the loss of Heath. If you read stories about him, he is emotional. He tears up and cries. Talking about his parents, a song, etc.
My cousin died 8 years ago. I usually tear up when I talk about her. We weren't bff's, but the loss was strong and painful. My pain isn't the worst. She left small children and a husband and parents. But, when I'm somewhere where she should be, but isn't, i feel it. Heath should've been there.
I think he wants to keep his feelings private and I think when he talks about Heath he gets emotional.

Did someone else have the impression that Jake was angered that the interviewer with his question diverged attention from Maggie and her nomination? Jake quickly changed the subject to her and her nod. Perhaps that's also what seemed to anger him about the question?
I don’t think Jake was angry, to me he seemed shocked and fumbling for words.
He brought up Maggie's nod in relation to Heath because as a winner he would’ve presented in the category she was nominated in. Jake is not very articulate but that’s what he’s trying to say, he finishes with something like "he would’ve presented but he’s not here". Duh!
7:24 PM # 1 and 7:25 PM, you're maybe right.
People may disagree but I still say Rachel McAdams looks a lot like Reese in those Oscar pics. When did she turn blonde btw? Wasn't she always brunette? The way her hair was pulled back and heavily streaked with blonde, her makeup, the upper bodice style of the dress... I might be wrong but I swear she's being groomed to be the next beard. This time PR/Jake chose someone younger, no baggage, not a PR whore (yet), and more importantly, someone who desperately needs the name and face exposure "dating" Jake can bring. Rachel McAdams is basically unknown outside of The Notebook and Ryan Gosling fans; she needs to up her profile and IMO bearding with Jake is going to be the quick fix.
There will be no bearding with Rachel, I'm sure Jake will take a break from faking.
I hope Jake doesn't beard again, but it would be funny to see how Reese handles being replaced by a much younger, prettier, kid-free, sexier, nicer "gf" who doesn't have a soccer mom body or Avon to sell.
OMG I just had an awful thought. What if Rachel McAdams is pregnant (by another guy) and Jake's going to marry her and pretend it's his, a la the Katie Holmes/Tom Cruise/Chris Klein saga?
Nah, there is no reason for Jake to ruin his life like that.
Jake and Rachel : trial balloon and it's working.
Trial balloon for what?
I think he wants to keep his feelings private and I think when he talks about Heath he gets emotional.
That could be, but it wouldn't explain why he couldn't have issued a statement when Heath died instead of completely ignoring it. We can keep going round and round with reasons, excuses, etc., but he's not the only sensitive soul in the universe or the only one who was grieved.

Because he couldn't put in the statement what he really wanted to say. I think that silence was a good choice.
Actually to the general public Jake's non-statement comes off as hatred and indifference for Heath and the work they did together, not love and friendship. Kinda like "If you can't say anything nice then don't say anything at all." And since Jake said nothing....
There is no reason for general public to presume hatred or indifference, why would general public presume that Jake is a bad person?
Wonder why Jake Gyllenhaal didn't say anything about Heath's untimely passing? He probably couldn't stand him. They probably hated each other when they made that gay movie.
I just remembered today is my ex-bf's birthday! Happy Birthday asshole!
LOL :)
Just watched the Nate/Jack video again and Jake was more than surprised. He actually looked a little panic stricken at first. As soon as Nate said that he knew he and Heath were good friends, Jake says "Uh huh" and he completely freezes up.
Poor Jake. Will we get to see Jake's face when someone asks him about Matilda?

Sorry, but that just sounds like an excuse to me. Are you saying that in order for him to say what he really wanted to say it had have been in person and not through a statement? And he didn't feel capable of doing that, so he just decided to do nothing? That doesn't make sense. If Heath meant so much to him that words alone couldn't convey it, then he should've sucked it up somehow instead of doing nothing. What sets Jake apart from everyone else? Why was everyone else capable of issuing statements or speaking in public and not him?
What sets Jake apart from everyone else?
I would do the same in Jake's shoes, there is nothing special or wrong about Jake's silence.

Well, since you don't actually know why he's been silent, I don't know how you can say you'd do the same. And if there was nothing special about his silence, it wouldn't be so conspicuous, which it is.
I don't see anything conspicuous about not wanting to share your feelings with the whole world.
Jake, Gabby, her fingers, his tongue.
Oh my! So many potential captions!
Gabby and Jake even have a girl there to lift up her dress!
Gabby must have seen this
Nate did seem taken with Jake. He did not ask Rachel a single question. I think he was trying to bond with Jake by speaking to him honestly. He had experienced grief himself. Too bad he's not Jake's type. They would be a cute couple. But Jakey loves a certain very tall Texan.

Jake Gyllenhaal And Olivia Munn? Please
So now everyone wants us to believe that Jake Gyllenhaal's new "hook-up" is going to be Olivia Munn. They were talking all night and they exchanged numbers. But lets look at the facts.
Jake's history of dating alone shows us that this probably will not happen. She is not an actress and she is not going to be co-staring with him in any of his films. Also, Jake has more of a weakness for petite blondes.
"He's definitely single and wants to date girls," stresses the source to E! Really? Really? I like the fact that they had to throw girls into the sentance but let's be honest here. If Jake and Olivia do hang out anytime soon, it will be as friends, not lovers. Anyone watching them that night saw that they were it was a friendly banter, well except for JG's people who saw a new story to spin. Not are they the ones who are issuing the statements about Jake wanting to date again, but they are the ones who have chosen Olivia as his new leading lady.
The Gossip Boy
And everything about his silence and this interview begs the question - Why is everyone else who knew Heath able to talk about him except for Jake? It's just plain odd.
Very odd.
By the way, repeating that Jake has the right to say nothing, as 9:41PM does, is a strawman/specious argument that should be ignored.
No one has ever questioned Jake's RIGHT to stay silent. O course he has that right. Just as he has the right to sleep with whomever he chooses, love whomever he chooses, and give the finger to whomever he chooses.
That inalienable RIGHT hasn't stopped babblers, TBs, Independents (lol-there must be some) from speculating/approving/disapproving his love life, so why should it stop people from approving/disapproving or speculating about his relationship with Heath. (Which is looking stranger and stranger the longer Jake treats it like a huge taboo subject.)
Jake has the right to stay silent forever. But equally, people have the right to wonder why.
I would do the same in Jake's shoes, there is nothing special or wrong about Jake's silence.
Who cares what you would do. (Though I think you are lying about how you would treat the death of a colleague. You would actually never, ever say a public word about them? Incredibly selfish, if true. My, if only everyone would treat the passing of comrades that way, think how comforting it would be for their family and friends.)
Silent words speak loudest.
