Jake Gyllenhaal is one of the busiest actors in Hollywood, so when you get some face time with him — it doesn’t matter who you are — you take it.
***
We had only another 10 minutes, and there were some things I needed to talk to him about. For starters, Jake has rarely talked publicly about Heath Ledger’s death. I wasn’t sure if I’d get anything out of him, but I had to ask.
“A year ago, Entertainment Weekly spoke to a lot of people for a piece about Heath Ledger. The screenwriter, producer and cinematographer of Brokeback Mountain all talked. You were conspicuously absent. Are you uncomfortable remembering him in public?”
“Yes,” he said, pausing. “Brokeback was painful. Any time you go into pain, I don’t think you necessarily want to go back. But the results of that film, and how the public responded to it so hugely, were worth it. Walking through any kind of pain is usually worth it. As close as we all became making that movie, for all those other people, it didn’t extend much farther than [the movie itself], so that experience of work could be easily talked about for publications. The experience Heath and I had was also shared publicly with all the press and publicity we did. But what we shared as friends, though I respect the interest that so many people have in the mourning and grieving process and how it feels to other people, I feel like — and I don’t mean this in an unkind way — but I don’t think it’s anybody’s business but his and mine. So in that sense, to really respect him — and also the way he felt about his life and his private life and what he cared about, because he was a deeply caring and loving human being — every time anybody asks me any question about him, it would be like he was sitting next to me, and I know he would roll his eyes, because that’s the way he was. It was between us.”
If we didn’t talk about anything else, I knew I had something of consequence. And I was confident that what Jake had just said was as far and as deep and as sincere as he could go with this — you could feel the anguish in his words. So I moved on.

There was Philadelphia sighting - Jake, the chin, Paul Rudd and two kids in the car. Paul has one kid.
Please, you can't be serious.

No, some TBs don't believe there is BT.
I have no problem with some Toothy believers believing in BT too. But there are other TBers who think BT tale is beyond ridic. I think BT believers will still believe Jake is hiding his child or children (Ted alluded to another one, right?) in 10 years. Even though here will be no concrete sightings, let alone pics. Arguing with BT believers is useless, they'll stick to their opionion, no matter what.
We should just agree to disagree.
There was Philadelphia sighting - Jake, the chin, Paul Rudd and two kids in the car. Paul has one kid.
But Witherspoon has two, doesn't she? Maybe it was her spawn in the car?
Her kids weren't in the town.
Her kids weren't in the town.
How do you know?

Too bad BT believers are cowards and always ignore questions like 'how long can a person hide kids', I would love to hear the answer from them.

There were pictures of them with Ryan and they arrived in Philadelphia later, something like that.

There were pics of the kids with Ryan the same day they took the pics with Reeke and Rudd? Can you post the pictures?
Reeke/Paul Rudd/BT question.
In D.C. someone reported seeing Reeke, Paul Rudd and two small kids in a blue van. The kids were not Ava or Deacon (they were papped with Ryan in LA that day). Rudd has only one child.

Pretty flimsy. :P
It's perfectly understandable that Jake might be staying with Maggie and giving her a break by seeing to Ramona, or babysitting.
Too bad BT believers are cowards and always ignore questions like 'how long can a person hide kids', I would love to hear the answer from them.
Trolly, your lame efforts to disparage BT believers are amusing...keep playing stupid
Can you post the pictures?
I'm tired of looking stuff up and posting the links. Why don't you do the google search yourself.
Why he would be hiding a child is the question, when there are many same-sex couples with children in HW.
source
Those are the same (from June 22nd)?
IHJ
Can someone post the pics of Ryan and his kids from that day?
Nice try, 9:58 AM!
Why don't you answer the question instead?
If some are saying that they think the reason he would hide a child is because of putting fame and career first, they are saying they don't think too much of him. I think he'd be willing to take a step down in his career for the sake of his child's well-being. He's young enough to still have a career, and he's still got plenty of time to be a parent.
I'm tired of looking stuff up and posting the links. Why don't you do the google search yourself.
Ok, can someone at least tell me a fansite of Phillippe with candids?
Too bad BT believers are cowards and always ignore questions like 'how long can a person hide kids', I would love to hear the answer from them.
First ur an ass for saying that. Second this TB has no clue how long Jake can hide a kid if he has one and he very well may have one.
Why don't you answer the question instead?
Not 9:58 but have you ever heard of faith? Most people believe in God despite no direct quotes, pics or links of the Divine Being. Stop badgering the posters who believe in BT.

'how long can a person hide kids'
BT believers aren't fortune tellers. Ask a reasonable question and you might get a reply, trolly
They can believe whatever they want, as long as they don't behave like religious fanatics with their views, and accept that others may not believe the same things they do.

You are saying that posters who believe in BT should be treated differently because they don't need proof to believe something. Did I get that right?
I found pics of Ryan, Abbie and the kids on June 6th 2009, the next were from July 13 w/o the kids, just Ryan and Abbie. No pics with the kids on June 22nd or around that time.

BT believers don't have opinions?
Ted is a divine being.
I think the poster at 10:08 is being sarcastic. Good analogy too. ;)
You could say you believe in TT/GG 4-evah, but one word against BT (and BT2) and they are all ovah your ass like white on rice.
No pics with the kids on June 22nd or around that time.
Go back to WFT2 from that period and check out comments, I'm sure info/links are there.

Comparing believing in BT like believing in God is not the best example:-)

Duh!

How about you go back and post the links? I'll look up at popsugar too. Just Jared sure doesn't have the pics.
If there is BT then Jake will come out soon. I can't imagine Jake denying his own child and sane people don't hide teenagers in the closet.
How about you go back and post the links?
Why?
Found pics from June 20th on popsugar that was father's day.

2 days before the sighting in Philly.

So, it's entirely possible that it was Ava and Deacon with Reeke/Rudd in the car.

Can YOU fill me in why it isn't possible? Or does anyone else remember? Don't we have regaular posters here?
I would if I could remember details. All I do remember is that we concluded (and had reasonable proof) that kids in the care weren't chin's kids. (BTW, I don't believe in BT)
Did the ages of the child(ren) in the Paul Rudd van correspond to the age of BT? I sometimes think that BT will forever be a diaper-clad infant to some. If there is a baby, he or she will be three years old soon.
I can't remember, other than that there was very clear evidence Ava and Deacon were somewhere else. Either Reese had just given an interview saying the kids were with Ryan, or they were seen with Ryan in LA. Whatever it was, it was pretty clear they could not have been with Reeke and Rudd.
Everyone can answer any question. "I don't know" is a perfectly good answer, but BT believers prefer to play stupid (" stop badgering the posters") or ignore questions they don't like.
Trolly, no-one has to respond to your harassment.
10:53 AM #2, this is all we have:
"The other passengers in the van were two kids, dont know if they were hers, and her co-star Paul Rudd which is currently filming in D.C."
All I do remember is that we concluded (and had reasonable proof) that kids in the care weren't chin's kids.
Maybe someone else who remembers better knows what proof there was that it wasn't Witherspoon's spawn? From the sighting it sure isn't clear who the kids were.
June 20th 2009 was a Saturday (as well father's day). The kids in the car were seen on Monday June 22nd. Could have been A & D.
Trolly, no-one has to respond to your harassment.
More playing stupid, lol?
Please explain why is this question inappropriate and why BT believers shoudn't answer it:
'Any ideas when will Jake introduce BT to the world? When BT is 16?'
The kids in the car were seen on Monday June 22nd. Could have been A & D.
No. All info and proof is posted on WFT2. It's not our fault if you don't feel like looking it up.

I'll bite - Jake will introduce BT when he and his husband come out of the closet.
No. All info and proof is posted on WFT2. It's not our fault if you don't feel like looking it up.
What proof? If you know, then please tell! Maybe others who know could post the proof or tell about it?
I can't look up comments posted a year ago. That's madness. If posters here know and/or still have the proof that it wasn't A & D, then please post it or just tell about it. I'd appreciate it.
I'll bite
Bite??? Please explain why is that question inappropriate and why BT believers shoudn't answer it?
Yeahand it was DC, not Philly
Sorry, my mistke it was DC, not Philly.

Can't remember details. Why don't you read old WFT2 comments if you care about that sighting?
Jake will introduce BT when he and his husband come out of the closet.
How long do you expect Jake and Austin to hide BT?

There is no way to know who the kids were.
Maybe some other BT believer remember details about the proof and will share with others?
Keep your girdle on trolly. You wanted an answer and you got one.
You can't answer because the question is legit and you have no balls so all you can do is call "trolly".
There is no way to know who the kids were.
No, there isn't and no one in the right mind can say otherwise. All we do know is that those weren't chin's kids.
All we do know is that those weren't chin's kids.

Trolly, you don't have to play dumb, it just comes naturally.
Your question was answered at 11:05
"Jake will introduce BT when he and his husband come out of the closet."
Of course you'll ignore that.
11:21 AM - I'd say it's a legitimate answer. BTers think when Jake and hubby Austin come out, they'll introduce their toddler or two toddlers to the world as well. It could take years, but a faithful Family Tile believer will wait patiently until it happens.
How do you know? How is it possible to know that they weren't hers?
For God's sake, proof is posted on WFT2. I'm not going to search for it because you are too lazy to do it.

You're obviously lazy too or there is no proof. If there is proof I'm sure someone else besides you will remember and share or even post the proof.
They'd be all to happy to rub our noses in it if they had it. Family Tile Values. :)
11:21 #1 is the same trolly asking BT believers same dumb question over & over, even after they answered.
11:25 :)
Yeah, I guess I summed it up perfectly. ;)
Trolly, you don't have to play dumb, it just comes naturally.
Please, you are transparent, a lot of TBs don't believe there is BT.
It's the blind faith and willingness to contort Ted's semantics into the most amazing of positions that's beginning to grate on the nerves. When the child was an infant, it was believable, but now the sand is running out of the hourglass rapidly. I've been curious to see how Ted's latest answer would be interpreted, but it seems to have everyone stumped.
Please post pics or sightings of Ryan and the kids together in L.A. on the same day Jake and Reese were in DC. If there is proof then one doesn't have to go back to some year old comments on this blog, just google. I did and so far I found June 6th and Fathers day, which were not the day of Jake and Reese in DC.
If someone found something o that day, please post it.
11:21 #1 is the same trolly asking BT believers same dumb question over & over, even after they answered.
Please cut the trolly crap. BT believers answered the question after ignoring it for days and there is nothing wrong with the question in the first place.

We know that kids in the car weren't Reese's, you need to prove we are wrong.
Dear Ted:
Who is raising Baby Tile? I'm guessing if both his dads are so attached to their respective closets, they wouldn't both be living with Baby Tile full-time. And the beard for Daddy Grey Goose, does she know Baby Tile exists? If so, does she spend quality time with Baby? I'm so curious about how this unusual family works/doesn't work. Betsy and Tacy, my two rescue kitties, are also curious about this whole sitch. Details, please!

Dear Family Matters:
Darling, this was all arranged ages ago—by professionals. And it largely continues to remain so (to the knowledge of everyone involved, of course), with the exception of Toothy himself.
If you believe that Jake is Toothy then you have to believe in Baby Tile or Tiles.
No.
semantics and syntax, I should say.
We know that kids in the car weren't Reese's, you need to prove we are wrong.
But HOW do you know? You can't prove that you are right. As of now, no one knows who the kids in the car were.
Repost, are you reminding us that Ted's BT answer doesn't make any sense?
There were no pictures of Reese with the kids around that time, no way she would not have used them for photo opp, especially after the van story.
I could be wrong, but I think 3eese showed up in LA that following weekend with the kids or NY with Jake and no koids. No way the kids would travel to be wih her just a few days when she was working and Ryan was in LA and not working.
But HOW do you know? You can't prove that you are right.
Read old WFT2 comments, we have proved that kids in the car weren't Reese's.
the sand is running out of the hourglass rapidly.
LOL. Like sands through the hour glass, so are the Gays of our Lives

I understand this as Ted being fed BS for whatever reason (to discredit him maybe?) and that, except for Toothy himself, everything is BS.
The only proof would be if when Jake rolled down the window to talk to the paps, they would have stuck their cameras further in and we would have seen who was in the back seat, we only see partial which I assume was Paul.
Or pics of Ryan ad the kids in L.A. on the same day
No one would repeat the question if BT believers bothered to answer it.

11:53 AM #2 - you are wrong and lazy :)
what was the question?
This one:
For you, it might be an easier answer, but I wouldn't be so judgmental about the "proper" raising of a baby.
Any ideas when will Jake introduce BT to the world? When BT is 16?
June 12, 2010 6:07 PM
No photo ops with the kids doesn't prove a thing, you need to provide PICS of Ryan and the kids together. You can't just say they were and in L.A. w/o proof.
You must be lazy too if you refuse to post pics
I strongly believe that there are no pics and there is no proof.

What is your point? It took us a few days to collect bits and pieces and conclude that Reese's kids were in LA.

Loser?!? LOL! Please read all comments and stop making shit up.
poor 12:08 trolly, trying to stir up shit, but failing miserably.
Please. Does WFT2 have to be the same as OMG? What's the point of having 2 identikit sites. OMG believes Austin is Jake's forever lover and BT is their 3 year old son/daughter. Fine. But why do WFTers have to have those beliefs?
Maybe WFT2 can merge with OMG and then someone can start WFT3 for people who haven't invested their lives into any one narrative, especially BT. Where are the sharp-witted cynics who used to make this place fun? Now saying "trolly," and "stop playing stupid" passes for clever.
12:10 PM - 12:08 PM is not trolly, TBs who don't believe in BT aren't trolls.
WTF happened to BT believers?
Why are they so desperate and unreasonable?
Do they believe that without BT there can't be Toothy and Goose, is that it?
12:14 PM, I agree. I'm a JIG believer and this BT crap is such a turn off. Why do some Jaustinites have to ruin WFT2? Go back to OMG already.
I'm a JIG believer and I love BT and J&A speculations, even though I don't believe in BT or Jake and Austin still being a couple. All theories are good as long as people are using known facts and common sense to explain them.
Why do some Jaustinites have to ruin WFT2?
Don't be like that, Jaustinites are our brothers and sisters, they are just too passionate about BT and J&A :)

Nice try 12:24. Some posters here believe in BT, and some don't on OMG. Your lame effort to divide the two sites into "believers" and "non-believers" failed.
12:06, it took a few days to collect bits and pieces and concluded?? LOL!! Which means that you never had any pics , just wishful thinking.

I think PoP will make approximately 300 million dollars worldwide. Not a complete flop, but way below expectations. There won't be a sequel. I still think the movie was quite entertaining and the reviews way too harsh.

Very possible.

I don't believe in BT but I know that info we collected was enough to prove chin's kids were in LA. That doesn't prove that second kid was BT, especially with Jake opening the window, but fair is fair, that sighting can be used as argument that BT exists.
There won't be a sequel.
I think that will be good for Jake's career.
The most pointless waste of energy argument is the one where Jake is bashed and berated for being such a terrible father of a child for whom no proof exists, just rumor. Closeted, hiding, putting fame and career first, all with no proof. How does that promote gay parenthood?
Did someone managed to explain this answer? My head still hurts from this and Friday's BV.

Me too, but looks like that was false info.

Johnny Depp, old photo
I have two separate reviews of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. The first is that, as a vehicle for Jake Gyllenhaal it succeeds 100%. I was worried about Gyllenhaal as an action star, not because he can’t act–because he can–but because, despite his good looks, I’ve never seen him as a viable action hero. I should have remembered Jarhead. Gyllenhaal has an amazing physicality and he isn’t modest about stomping around half-nekkid for our entertainment. I was expecting his accent to drive me crazy, but despite what the few spots of dialogue in the trailer show, he actually does a credible job with a lower-class English accent. And the hair wasn’t as bad as I expected either, since most of the time it was either sweat-soaked or flying around his head during an action sequence. It looked a lot less flat-ironed in the movie than it did in still shots from the set. Combine his willingness to go beefcake with his very real acting talent, and Gyllenhaal definitely has what it takes. He can sell cheese and his abilities both latent and physical get him through some pretty bad dialogue. Lesser actors have been hugely successful action stars–I’d like to see the genuinely talented Gyllenhaal succeed in this role rather than, say, the barely-evolved Channing Tatum.
As a movie, Prince of Persia is less successful, though it is better than the terrible trailer suggested. But overall, it isn’t a great movie. Is it fun? Sure. Is it entertaining summer popcorn fare? Yeah. Could I live without a sequel? Probably. As good as Gyllenhaal was, at the end of the movie it wasn’t another Prince of Persia that I wanted, but to see Gyllenhaal in an action vehicle more worthy of his talent. Without Gyllenhaal Prince of Persia would have been unmitigated trash. But Jake G holds it together with a smile and a never-ending well of charm, plus his spectacular, huge biceps. He’s seconded by Gemma Arterton (Tamara Drewe, Clash of the Titans) with whom he has decent if not world-burning chemistry. Their repartee is sharp and lively, but when he finally kisses the girl (after one too many false starts), it’s weird and awkward and kind of looked like Arterton was trying to eat Gyllenhaal’s mouth off his face. That bizarre kiss aside, they’re a likeable screen pair. Alfred Molina and Ben Kingsley also star, as a shady tax-dodger and a creepy vizier, respectively. Molina can always be counted on to elevate mediocre material and here he ably succeeds, providing virtually the only comic relief in the movie with his campy, taxation hating, desert pirate. Kingsley, however, has a rare miss. He overshoots camp and lands in straight-up cheese. It pains me to cringe at Ben Kinglsey but I did it, more than once. His sneering vizier Nizam is a combination of Jafar and Scar. I kept waiting for him to yell, “Simbaaaaaa!”
And that’s the chief problem with Prince of Persia. You could pretty much call it Aladdin Goes to War and get the point. Videogame movies are usually pretty thin on plot, but Prince of Persia is one game noted for its story. The games have undergone much iteration, and the movie borrows some themes while adding another plot to the canon. I don’t have a problem with this. Some gamers are complaining, as they are complaining about the famously unnamed prince getting a moniker for the movie (Dastan), but it’s inevitable that the filmmakers were going to write something new for the big screen. And they had series creator Jordan Mechner on board; he wrote the story on which the script is based. The whole plot revolves around Dastan, an orphan from the slums who is adopted by the Persian King Sharaman. Now the youngest of three sons, Dastan is a military savant who would rather hang with his gang of street ruffians than sit around with his poncy brothers and say things like, “I will ponder the advice of my noble uncle.” After successfully sacking the city of Alamut, a holy city that may or may not be making really sharp swords on the sly, Dastan is framed for the death of his father. Everything else that happens is basically the plot of The Lion King. Dastan hooks up with a band of unlikely friends in the wilderness, then returns to Alamut to avenge his father’s death and reveal the treachery of his uncle. Toss in a dash of Pirates of the Caribbean–Molina’s shady sheikh is clearly a rip off of Jack Sparrow minus Johnny Depp’s, well, everything–and you have Prince of Persia.
This isn’t to say Prince of Persia isn’t entertaining, because it is, despite its clichéd plot. It’s mostly due to Gyllenhaal, who is way overqualified for this job. He really sells Dastan, and his scenes with Arterton and/or Molina show what good actors can do with poor material. And then there’s the action. Next to Gyllenhaal, this is best thing about the movie. Thanks to everyone’s new favorite thing, parkour, Prince of Persia boasts some really cool action sequences. Instead of having one or two major fight scenes, Prince of Persia goes with a consistent rhythm of fight-and-run. When the MTV Movie Awards go to nominate Prince of Persia next summer, which they will, it should pick up a nomination for Best Fight: Jake Gyllenhaal versus Everyone. This is one area where Prince of Persia improves on the formula established by Pirates of the Caribbean. Pirates was too long, suffering from a couple places where the movie slowed too much and dragged through unnecessary expository scenes. Prince of Persia goes the other way, opting to keep things moving quickly and dropping frequently painful dialogue to get through plot (“Listen to me carefully–this is a mystical device.”). If anyone ever managed to match up this fight-and-run rhythm with good dialogue you’d have an easy hit on your hands. Director Mike Newell also tips his hat to the game by utilizing some of the prince’s famous acrobatics in some pretty gorgeous sequences. And if you think Gyllenhaal didn’t do some of his own stunts, note how much the camera stays on his face while he’s fighting. Boy spent a year of his life learning this shizz and it paid off.
If you’re like me and are forgiving of cheese and clichés in favor of teeth-breaking action and stuff blowing up, especially in a summer blockbuster (although Prince of Persia is not a blockbuster, instead having mildly underwhelming holiday weekend box office), then you will probably like Prince of Persia. And really, I’m not just saying this because he’s ridiculously hot, but Jake Gyllenhaal’s performance is worth watching. I hope he finds a franchise worthy of his ability, and doesn’t end up wandering in and out of lousy keystone properties like Nicolas Cage has done. I’m not convinced Cage would ever have been interesting over a long period of time as one character (because he certainly isn’t interesting in National Treasure), but Gyllenhaal could definitely keep me coming back for more. I’m just not sure I want more of him as Prince Dastan.
Cinesnark
the end of the movie it wasn’t another Prince of Persia that I wanted, but to see Gyllenhaal in an action vehicle more worthy of his talent...when he finally kisses the girl (after one too many false starts), it’s weird and awkward
Forget girls, how about a buddy film with a lot of fun and action? Bad Boys, Tango & Cash ...
It's not our fault if you don't feel like looking it up.
LOL, exactly.
Any ideas when will Jake introduce BT to the world?

2018? BT will report his father to the police long before that!
There is no way to know who the kids were.
Even though they are both, especially Ava, mini-me spitting images of Reese?! If anyone saw Reese in a car with mini-Reese Ava they would pretty much get that she's her daughter. Even Stevie Wonder would see that.
TMZ - Simon Monjack, husband of Britanny Murphy, had two secret kids
Haha I was going to post that link. It's not the same since the kids lived with their mothers and Simon wasn't famous and papped all the time, but still, it shows that kids can be anonymous. The evidence of the wire transfers for child support and/or payoffs was interesting.
And if you think Gyllenhaal didn’t do some of his own stunts, note how much the camera stays on his face while he’s fighting. Boy spent a year of his life learning this shizz and it paid off.
It didn't.

No wonder PR had him Reeke during this time. He had two choices for his daily activities: hard painful training for POP or Reeking with the beard. They knew which one he would pick: bruising, agonizing training is a cakewalk in Disneyland compared to grabbing a cup of coffee with the bossy snotty domineering PR whore Reese Witheredpoon.
Someone said that most who believe in BT post on OMG, but I think there are many WFT2 posters who believe in BT as well.

The person who saw them probably didn't pay too much attention who the kids look like.

Special K and all named OMG posters believe in BT, some of them regard it as absolute truth. But number isn't important, doesn't matter if only one WFT2 poster doesn't believe in BT - the point is that everything is open to questioning and discussion, including Ted's gossip.

"I see what you did there, trolly. Trying to discredit Ted, and drive a wedge between this site & OMG."
poor dear, I have followed Ted for years now, the guy is fun and entertaining enough but good god I don't drink all his words, trust he tells shit, a lot of shit.
It's just incredible how people like you who speak up against PR manipulation let themselve manipulated by a gossip columnist and the BT story is the proof.
Jake was seen at a museum too with his child.
Ted has admitted he was wrong on other gossip. If he found out Baby Tile was not real he would back away from the story and not bring it up anymore. But he persists in saying the baby exists.
Jake was seen at a museum too with his child.
His child?!?
People magazine, 10 days ago - Jake was seen with a couple and a kid, he played with the kid. BT again?
"Jake was seen at a museum too with his child."
you trust tweeter? do you believe in the Reeke tweet too then?
Yessssssss I saw jake and "his" child at the supermarket.
Getty has something interesting for 2 year + few months old kids?
A child at the Getty. Jake knows tons of people and they have kids. He has cousins and friends that have kids, just like everyone else, imagine that.
But he persists in saying the baby exists.
We shall see.
It might have been Ramona at the museum. I thought I had read that Magge was there too?
Ramona and Maggie - I'm sure that possibility was investigated. Anyone remembers what did we found out? :)
Sharon Osbourne and her daughter Kelly, Grand Marshals of Sunday's Gay Pride Parade in West Hollywood, came face-to-face with angry anti-gay protesters, RadarOnline.com has learned.
The anti-gay group came right up to Sharon and Kelly midway through the parade, and Sharon stood her ground. "You should be ashamed of yourselves," she said over the loud speaker.
"Kelly went to the mic and told the crowd, 'My God loves Gays'," an eyewitness tells RadarOnline.com. She then led the crowd into a chant of "God loves Gays." It was so loud it drowned out the protesters.

From the DL re: James Franco
James is at Pride today in Weho. Quelle surprise
Pfttt! I had coffee today in Weho!

Good for gays to have such good advocates :)
Thanks for the Bomer link. I don't know what I'd do if he ever did a musical. ;)
At no. 6 this weekend was another box-office disappointment, Mike Newell’s Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Gemma Arterton, and Ben Kingsley, which scored $6.6m (-52.9%), according to figures found at Box Office Mojo. Total to date: $72.2m. Cost: $200m.
At least Prince of Persia is doing considerably better overseas ($190.3m to date). Whether that’ll be enough to cover the film’s production price tag (not to mention distribution and marketing costs) remains to be seen. (Studios get about 50-55% of a movie’s domestic box-office grosses; about 40% of what they earn abroad.)
Michael Patrick King’s Sex and the City 2, starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon, and Kristin Davis, took in $5.52m (-55.2%) at no. 8. Total: $84.7m. Cost: $100m.
Sex and the City 2 is another domestic box-office disappointment that is performing better abroad: $131.7m after 16 days. That’s about half of what the original Sex and the City grossed.

Bullshit. He'll do it on October 2, 2014 at 10:52am in a blue organic cotton silk blend shirt and you know it. Don't play stupid.
I don't know what I'd do if he ever did a musical.
Ha. You'd be sitting in the first row sneaking itching powder and fire ants up on the stage.

Getty has something interesting for 2 year + few months old kids?
Apparently so. Lucky bastards. My parents would just tell me to go play on the freeway.
Getty Center Family Events
Regarding the Reeke and child sighting in DC.
The sighting was from Monday. Father's Day was the day before. So when exactly would they have flown across the country?
Also, Just Jared had sightings of Reeke in a bar that Tuesday night, and other photos and sighting of them--none of which mentioned the kids. It's just not believable that she would have them scurry across the country on Father's Day, and then not have them appear in a single photo or sighting.

Visitors entered the world of Leonardo da Vinci and Italian culture in this daylong celebration with music, theater, storytelling, and interactive workshops. Featured were the tale of Pinocchio as performed by Will & Company, the timeless magic of commedia dell'arte in The World on the Moon directed by Orlando Pabotoy, folk music by Musicàntica, story teller Carl Weintraub as Leonardo da Vinci, and art-making workshops including making a sketchbook inspired by Leonardo's drawings, creating a maquette of an equestrian monument, making a frame and designing a postcard. Inspired by the exhibition Leonardo da Vinci and the Art of Sculpture: Inspiration and Invention.
Lol Idk if it's for 3 yr olds but hey maybe BT is a fucking genius and he finished his algebra homework early and had time to go to the museum.

Caught in the Act!
After a whirlwind week promoting his new movie Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Jake Gyllenhaal was in the mood to kick back. The actor started his weekend with a big night out at L.A.'s Trousdale Lounge, where he sat in the back room sipping vodka along with a large group of friends. Later, he was spotted at Lamill Coffee Boutique in Silver Lake twice – first for a steak and eggs brunch with a couple and their little girl, then again for a Memorial Day breakfast after riding his motorcycle. During the brunch, the actor "seemed to enjoy playing with the couple's daughter," an onlooker says.
Chris Pine headed to new Hollywood hotspot The Colony with a posse of guys. The actor arrived at 1 a.m. and headed immediately for an outdoor bar near the entrance, ordering drinks and clinking glasses together. Dressed down in a sweater, jeans and newsboy cap, nobody recognized Pine or bothered him all night long. Though he was definitely having a guys' night out, the actor did chat up two girls, but then moved inside to watch Cypress Hill perform.

You can imagine the mass of volunteers trying to work on that production.
I loved the A-team!
6th place isn’t terrible for the third weekend out. It has made 262 worldwide (so far). If it doesn’t break even now it will when the dvd comes out.

The people asking for proof of baby tile should be careful what they wish for. Their time would be better spent going to POP to shore up the box office. Its only a matter of time before the secret is spotted.

Nooooo I don't want chickenpox.

Looks like Jake doesn't plan to come out soon, there is no BT.
Some are LOL, some are awful - like the one about Heath (#2).

LOL - some of you are funny today. I haven't laughed this much since the "tall sturdy blond creamer". :)

Damn, now I'm hungry too!
Gays of our Lives was cute. :)
"tall sturdy blond creamer"
LOL I remember that one too. What was it supposed to be? I forgot and I can't figure it out!
LOL - I think we were talking about dishware or tea sets or something, and some clever person made the double entendre of a tall sturdy blond man to the creamer (might have been about Heath.) Very clever. :)

"isn't terrible" and "breaking even" are not what I had in mind!
Or it might have been the description of a creamer and somebody did a play on words with it. :)

I did do that, or at least the second time. Blogger ate them! Honest. :-D
Someone said that most who believe in BT post on OMG, but I think there are many WFT2 posters who believe in BT as well.
No, most who post exclusively on WFT2 do not believe. It's the crossovers who are into BT.
OMG are JIG bros and sisters, as Jackie says. But imo the BT fanatics who come here do a disservice to the cause by making the whole JIG scenario look nuts with their extremism. Maybe if they speculated lightly with a sense of humor it would be bearable, but when they claim that a bunch of fantasies and conjectures constitute proof, that is too much.
Reasonable people who question Ted's sketchy baby gossip should not have to put up with constant name-calling and abuse by BT obsessives.

ITA, Anon. 9:57.
Personally, I'm not so sure about BT, but if it's true, I think it's great. But as time goes on, I find it less and less likely.
"tall sturdy blond creamer"
Jackie or anyone else who might know, I'm trying to find the quote above, so I googled the word "sturdy" (I've also tried "tall" and "creamer") and in "Search within a site or domain:" I put http://waitingfortoothy-part2.blogspot.com/ but I get this answer:
Your search - sturdy site:http://waitingfortoothy-part2.blogspot.com/ - did not match any documents.
It works for common words like Jake, etc but no phrases or other odd words are found in the comments. Am I doing something wrong or is google not searching correctly or I have the wrong address? I've had this problem before but kept putting off asking you about it. Has anyone else had problems searching in the WFT domain?
PS I also tried the address without the backslashes and other combinations and still nothing.
Ahh I think I know what the problem is: google only searches the first comment page of the blog posts for the matching words. WTF? Does anyone know how to fix this or how I can get all the comments of a blog post on one page?
No, most who post exclusively on WFT2 do not believe. It's the crossovers who are into BT.
OMG are JIG bros and sisters, as Jackie says.
There's always one loon in every family.
