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.

I see the trolls moved over here after being ignored on OMG. They kept asking for answers to their questions but just argued more if anyone answered. Once OMGers realized they just wanted attention and not discussion the group ignored them so they had to find attention elsewhere.
^^the ramblings over at OMG about rings, footprints and knitted ties are too much even for the trollys.
wiebusch: So, Jake Gyllenhaal totally looks like Woody, that cowboy from Toy Story.

There's always one loon in every family.
In this case there is a flock and they travel together.

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 always omit first part of the address: sturdy site:waitingfortoothy-part2.blogspot.com
but I don't think that matters. I have no idea how Google indexes blogger comments and what should I expect to get as search results.

Time magazine piece on Disney's Gay Days:
"A former Disney employee who was at the park on June 5 told me that every year, Disney issues refunds or free next-day tickets to angry moms and dads who don't want their kids exposed to gay couples or gay-themed shirts. Some families don't get past Main Street U.S.A. before turning around and taking the monorail back to the parking lots."

Jerry too! :)
Of course he doesn't. No one would conclude that Jake is married and has kid(s) because he doesn't go out. There are 20 people who would believe that Jake is at home with BT. General public wouldn't believe BT story in a million years, with or without Jake staying at home all the time.
I don't think even that many people believe in BT, tbh. Just a few, and the rest follow along to stick together. I don't know why it is so important for them to believe Jake has children.

Hi Jake Gyllenhaal.
Once OMGers realized they just wanted attention and not discussion the group ignored them so they had to find attention elsewhere.
It took them this long to realize that? Trolls have been around since the original WFT, looking for attention or just trying to cause trouble. There are some regular posters who behave like trolls too, and have been caught in the act.
I was in Target over the weekend and the PoP action figures were at the end of an aisle and marked down. Not exactly a sign that they are flying off the shelves.
I don't know why it is so important for them to believe Jake has children.
They have latched onto Ted's story with such fervor that to let go now (or ever) would shatter their credibility.

Marked down already? No, not a good sign. Every week when I do grocery shopping (at one of those big chains that sell everything, not just groceries), I walk through the dvd section and there are these PoP posters for sale. Either they're not selling or they keep replenishing quickly, because there are never any missing from the box. I think it's the former. :/
They have latched onto Ted's story with such fervor that to let go now (or ever) would shatter their credibility.
I think some think that if the BT story isn't true, it would mean the rest of it isn't true. It doesn't mean that at all. They've got an either/or mindset.
Obviously some follow-up to his Shafterella post the other day...
Dear Ted:
Were Reese and Jake friends before they began dating? I wouldn't think they'd run in the same circles. Also, how long has she known her current boyfriend? Forgive me for being greedy but do you know if Reese and Rob are getting along on the set?
—Kristi
Dear Interrogation:
Yes, they were pals. H'wood is a small town; you'd be surprised who's friends with who. Can't give you an exact time line on Reese and her new beau, but things heated up fairly quickly 'cause he's absolutely perfect for her. And yes, no problems on set. Whew, that was a lot of work.
Dear Ted:
With long ongoing Blind Vices like Toothy Tile how do you keep managing to get the story? If it were me you were writing about, I'd find out the source and shut them up fast.
—L
Dear Plug the Leak:
These stars work with so many people, it's nearly impossible to peg exactly who's got loose lips. Plus, Toothy loves the attention—just as long as he can pull back into his closet when he wants.
Dear Ted:
Is Shafterella Shoshstein Demi Lovato?
—A
Dear No, No, No:
Demi is not even close to as evil as Shafty. But maybe she should take some pointers? It definitely helped S.S. become a star.
Dear Ted:
Is there anything you can say to these crazy Nonsten posts that repeatedly say Robert Pattinson is a manwhore? I'm sure he has the ability to flirt since he has such natural charm, but that doesn't mean he sleeps with everyone he speaks to.
—WG
Dear Skank Patrol:
He's definitely not knocking boots with Reese, if that helps your argument.
Dear Ted:
How long has Shafterella been bearding for closeted gay actors? I mean, she has better things to do, doesn't she?
—M
Dear Um:
Not really.
Bitch Back
That's true also 9:32, as evidenced by their weeping over the Shafterella BI posted by Ted. They took that BI as gospel, and now think that Jake "had actually gone to great lengths to curb his own real-life love life", so they are gutted that Jake would do that to Austy.
I think BI stands for blind idiot :/
I wish something would happen so that we would know one way or the other for sure, and this BI stuff can be put to rest. Although Ted says there are some he won't ever reveal. :(
Don't hold your breath, 9:46. Jake may not have jumped immediately into another bearding situation, but it's clear to me he has no intention of coming out of the closet he's worked so hard to build.
Jake's closet
but it's clear to me he has no intention of coming out
Of course not.
So anyone who questions the existence of BT is a troll?
Trolly, for once you are right.
Obviously some follow-up to his Shafterella post the other day...
Well, Ted makes a bit more sense today :)
Thanks 10:22 <333
10:26 AM - I don't like trolls, but trolly is right this time and there is nothing wrong with admiting that. What do you think?
Just like anyone who mentions Heath's drug issues here is considered a troll. The Heath lovers here have their own blind i.
Jake's closet
Warning!
I can't recall anyone being called a troll for bringing up Heath's drug issues.
Anne Hathaway allegedly has a faible for coke too, like Heath used to. I bet Jake (and Michelle too) did or still do it on occasion.
Heath's death was just a stupid accident. He seemed to be very reckless and apparently with his pills too.
Nothing wrong except my spelling.
Heath was more than reckless. He was an addict using prescription drugs in place of illegal drugs so that he could convince himself that he didn't have a problem.
BTites will continue to drink Ted's Kool-Aid. No point wasting time or energy debating them
My closet is nice and comfy!
Trying to bring out the heavy artillery for daring to question the existence of BT? Not going to work. Heathens can ignore trolls too. :)
If I thought that Jake had actually spent any time with Heath I would have considered him to be an enabler.
You run the risk of having us discuss the beautiful Heath all day long too. Just seeing his name makes me want to talk about him all day long. :)
Trying to bring out the heavy artillery for daring to question the existence of BT?
^^ Prime example of the BT believer's mindset. They think it is a war.
Have another sip of the Kool-Aid.
I don't believe in BT but I do think Heath was a drug addict. I don't know what one has to do with the other.
No thanks. :)
There's no way to know about Heath now. We've already made the point here many times that some like to discredit Heath at every opportunity, even though there is no way they have any proof of the theories they are trying to foist on others. Coming on the heels of the BT discussion, it's interesting. Personally, I don't care at all about whatever problems he had with drugs, if any. It's a very small part of who he was.
I don't know what one has to do with the other.
I don't either. Some of these posts make less sense than Ted, lol.
Let me try to make it clear - the more unstable of the BT Brigade like to strike back whenever their party line is threatened. So they try to attack the Heath fans who make up a lot of WFT2. JMO
The Jaustinites for example, don't like the mention of Heath or Matilda, for some reason.
The BT and Heath fans are both living in their own delusional fantasy worlds.
BTites will continue to drink Ted's Kool-Aid.
I don't expect BTites to change their minds because I'm not going to change mine either. I think the problem are some OMG posters who treat their speculations as facts and don't care about rational thinking.
^^True. I don't mind differences of opinion, but some of them, not all, get downright abusive in defending their theories. Trolls like to get in the mix and confuse things too. BT may exist but I'm not going to accept it without much more proof than a blind rumor. Heath and Matilda muddy the waters when the blind items discuss TT and child(ren), as does Ricky Martin and his twins. You notice these things are never, ever discussed.

Entire A-Team Karate Chopped By Eleven-Year-Old Rich Kid
6) Prince of Persia: Sands Through the Hourglass — $6.6m
Yiiiikes. After only three weeks in multiplexes, this Jake Gyllenhaal sex farce has only earned back $72m of its $200m budget. This does not bode well for the chances of the other two films in Gyllenhaal's planned trilogy, The Camel Has Two Humps and Casa Blanca (about a sexy fair-skinned Spaniard who lives in a villa in the desert). Maybe they'll come out low-budget and straight to video, but if you can't see Gyllenhaal writhing around, getting sand in crevices sand should never be, on the big screen in 3D, then just what the heck is the point?
...
8) Sex and the City 2 — $5.25m
Speaking about things dying in the desert (and dogs! amirite, men?), this film is limping along toward a shallow grave. At a total gross of $82m, the film is only a little more than halfway toward what the first film did two years ago. Plus, it hasn't even made back its budget yet. Yes, this thing cost one hundred million dollars to make. One hundred million dollars! For what used to be a TV show that was made for lots and lots less! Crazy time. So either this means there will not be, as threatened, a third movie, or it will at least be made for a lot cheaper and will take place in, y'know, New York City. Since his Desert Disco Trilogy has now been shelved, Jake Gyllenhaal is interested in appearing in the third movie, maybe as a love interest for one of the characters. Or as Samantha's grandson. BANGO, old women!
Gawker

BT believers know and can't deny that raising kids in the closet is wrong and unhealthy.
Entire A-Team Karate Chopped By Eleven-Year-Old Rich Kid
When I read that Karate Kid cost $40 mill to make compared to A-Team's $110 mill, the opening is even more impressive. There should be some more really big box office this weekend with Toy Story 3 opening.
I saw SATC2 this past weekend and thought it was more entertaining than PoP. Somehow the fun was missing from PoP.
If I thought that Jake had actually spent any time with Heath I would have considered him to be an enabler.
So you're saying Jake didn't spend any time with Heath, right? Do you also think he lied about them keeping in touch?
And here we go again :)
I can post GIFs too! :)
Karate Kid cost $40 mill
Not fair! They didn't need a "keep BT hidden" line item in their budget!
BT believers know and can't deny that raising kids in the closet is wrong and unhealthy.
Absolutely. This is why I don't believe it now. When the baby was an infant, it was plausible, as in Sandra Bullock's case. But now, I can't believe Jake would raise a child in that way, and Ted now refers to raising a child.
Strangely and conveniently, some hold on to a belief in a BT as another opportunity to bash Jake for his so-called closeted behavior, and want to believe the worst about him, and use the BT rumor for this, I believe. :(
While one is a bonafide hate leader and the other brands himself an AIDS activist, it doesn't mean Rush Limbaugh and Elton John can't be friends — and exchange $1 million for a wedding performance. Because when human beings are as rich as these two middle aged men, they automatically travel in the same social circles, and moral codes go out the window. They just get in the way while counting your money. But how did these two gents meet in the first place?
Scene: Luxury Hawaii hotel. Around New Year's Eve, last year. And Rush is, ahem, rushed to the hospital with chest pains. He survived, of course, but Elton, who was staying at the same hotel, reportedly checked in on the radio host to make sure he was OK, and their friendship blossomed from there.
So did the jokes.
Queerty
Good friends can usually influence each other for the better too - c'mon Elton, call him out on his 'phobic ways!
Ricky and kids - check out the bike :)
So sweet! Ricky seems like such a loving father. Good for him (and them.) :)
Love the bike :) His boys are too adorable. Ricky is so damn fine. Holy Shit. And seeing a gorgeous hunk of man like that being so tender and caring with his babies just sends his hotness factor sky high.
Little kids are a chick magnet :)
Little kids are a chick magnet :)
LOL. They are. Of course Ricky is interested in the cocks, not the hens ;)
Minor details!
No, it's not a top-secret Pentagon document. What you're looking at is Tom Bouden's modern, ultra-gay take on Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest. You can buy it for your iPad, as long as you don't mind Apple censoring it like crazy.
Meanwhile, Apple didn't bother censoring the comic for Kick Ass which features a straight guy's butt, a glimpse of his nuts, and his lover's exposed tit. Check out the double-standard for yourself. It may get you to "Think Different" about Apple's continued crusade against "porn."
Gay not OK
???? That's crazy. :(
Gay sex is bad for you!
I think some think that if the BT story isn't true, it would mean the rest of it isn't true. It doesn't mean that at all. They've got an either/or mindset.
Not true. I was pretty much on the fence about BT, somtimes believing it, sometimes not, until all of the bits and pieces of baby-related items pushed me into mostly believing there is a BT. And even now I wouldn't say I'm a 100 percent believer, maybe more like 90%.
However, when what is probably one or two people here and at OMG rant and rave and obsess over BT-believers, and are usually the first ones to raise BT even if nobody is talking about BT, and say things like "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" I have to wonder why all the fire.
The only thing I can figure is those people think BT might exist too, but don't like the idea, so they're always trying to stir up trouble or call everyone who thinks that crazy.
The tactics are no different from the ones used by babblers and JIS trolls to say Jake is not gay.
Why wouldn't anyone like the idea of a BT?
The only thing I can figure is those people think BT might exist too, but don't like the idea
Why they wouldn't like the idea? BT is very different from JiG / JiS war.
Ricky's babies send everyone into a swoon, so I would imagine it would be the same for Jake's?
I would think so, but not sure how people would react if he waits too many years before coming out.
Box-office fail: Many factors in defining a flop
By ANDREW DANSBY ENTERTAINMENT WRITER
June 13, 2010, 4:31PM
Prince of Persia’s subtitle, more than its paltry box-office haul, confirms its status as a flop. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time: It suggests a film studio that had hopes for subsequent Prince adventures. But a sequel seems unlikely after the film — whose budget has been reported at or around $200 million — pulled in less than $60 million in its first two weeks.
The swords-and-sandals film has done nearly triple that amount overseas. That paired with DVD sales could end up making Prince profitable in the end. But hopes for a franchise were diminished if not dashed by its rotten showing in the States.
Film studios tend to be secretive with budgets, so coming up with a definitive list of the biggest busts of all time is virtually impossible. There are production costs and marketing costs to consider, as well as the possibility that some of the cast could take money off the back end, then overseas and DVD. Determining a film’s actual net profit isn’t quite voodoo.
“Prince of Persia was really an attempt at starting a new franchise in the vein of Pirates of the Caribbean or The Mummy, so it completely failed on that front,” says Brandon Gray, the president and publisher of BoxOfficeMojo, a website that tracks film financials.
Still, Gray thinks the tag “flop” is often assigned too quickly. Some films have significant disparity between their reported cost and their receipts, but they still are widely seen.
He points out that though Waterworld, tagged as a massive flop, didn’t cover its budget in the U.S., it still was viewed by a lot of people and had a strong take overseas. Cleopatra was the same way, as well as last year’s G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.
Foreign markets have, at least from a strictly financial standpoint, changed the definition of a flop. A film like Ishtar — considered one of the great all-time flops — pulled in $14 million against a $55 million budget, according to boxofficemojo.com. Today it might recoup some of its money overseas. “Foreign box office can be a savior,” Gray says.
Foreign markets also create demand for franchises, which tend to grow overseas rather than showing attrition as they typically do here. Gray points out that the third Ice Age movie was the least viewed in the States, but 78 percent of its worldwide take was from foreign markets, where it was the most popular of the three.
(continued)
(Box Office fail continued)
Gray thinks a true flop is more about audience than money. By that standard, Prince might end up qualifying only as a modest flop. Stack it up alongside one that Gray mentions multiple times, The Adventures of Pluto Nash, and it does favorably. Pluto Nash, an Eddie Murphy space comedy-adventure, grossed just $4 million against a reported $100 million budget. (Gray points out knowledge of budgets is “more like a sketch than a finished drawing.”)
The 2001 Warren Beatty vehicle Town & Country did just less than $7 million against a reported budget of $90 million. Foreign box office gave it little relief, with about $3.5 million. It also proved that flops don’t have to be action/adventures or special effects based.
That said, the future often plays poorly. Costner’s dystopian adventure The Postman earned $17 million against $80 million in 1997 and 1998. John Travolta’s pet project Battlefield Earth — based on Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard’s book — took in $21 million against a reported $73 million budget.
Hits are often harder to sniff out in advance than flops. Sometimes the difference between the two is of degree, not kind. Cutthroat Island — a dreadful 1995 swashbuckler starring Geena Davis and Matthew Modine — was, as Gray puts it, “a tremendous flop”: $10 million gross against a reported $98 million budget.
Gray notes that the production was ill-advised as “there hadn’t been a successful pirate movie in the past 40 years.” Roman Polanski’s Pirates (1986) was one of the disasters along the way, earning $1 million against a reported $40 million budget.
But eight years after the terrible Cutthroat Island, a better conceived (but no doubt risky despite the hopeful subtitle) Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl became a worldwide hit.
Heaven’s Gate doesn’t have the biggest disparity between cost and earnings, but the notorious movie might be the floppiest of flops. The bleak, arty film by The Deer Hunter’s Michael Cimino pulled in $3 million against a reported $44 million budget years before foreign box office and video would have eased the financial sting. And, Gray points out, laughing, “it killed the studio as well.
“That’s a flop.”
I would think so, but not sure how people would react if he waits too many years before coming out.
Hiding kid for a long time (5-6 years) would be very bad PR, not to mention an extremely bad idea.
But a sequel seems unlikely...
The swords-and-sandals film has done nearly triple that amount overseas. That paired with DVD sales could end up making Prince profitable in the end.
Fingers crossed for both!
"The swords-and-sandals film has done nearly triple that amount overseas. That paired with DVD sales could end up making Prince profitable in the end."
If this trend continues, there will be a less expensive, more plot driven PoP sequel.
We'll have to wait and see.

Early in 2007, Disney announced Prince of Persia as one of its tentpole films and by June had scheduled a release date for July 10, 2009, before having a final script or any actors attached. In March 2008, director Mike Newell selected Morocco as a shooting location for Prince of Persia and also planned to film in Pinewood Studios. Production was scheduled to begin in mid-June 2008. By May 2008, actors Jake Gyllenhaal and Gemma Arterton were cast into the lead roles.

Yes. It's called weekly television show.

LOL. I can see it now - "CSI: Morocco"
There is about as much chance of a POP sequel as there is a chance that Toothy will come out this summer.
I can't believe Jake would raise a child in that way
The reality may be that Jake is selfish, misguided, self-centered and makes poor decisions. There's a lot of that in the world; why should private-life Jake be any different and automatically be proclaimed perfect and mature?
BT was already planned or born by the time Jake signed the contract and agreed to do 3 PoP movies = agreed to stay in the closet with BT for at least next 5-7 years.
I can see it now - "CSI: Morocco"
LOL
^^I don't know if the two are in any way related.
Why wouldn't anyone like the idea of a BT?
*cough*
Hiding kid for a long time (5-6 years) would be very bad PR, not to mention an extremely bad idea.
Yeah, this is just one of the reasons I'm more than skeptical about a BT. A child could not be kept hidden forever and only an insane person would think that would be possible. Jake could very well be crafty, self-involved, arrogant, and immature, but I don't think he's insane. You would have to consider the endgame before you began something like that.
The reality may be that Jake is selfish, misguided, self-centered and makes poor decisions.
We know a few things about Jake - he's affectionate, loves his pets, he's capable of having longtime friends, loves Ramona, his childhood wasn't perfect.
I don't know if the two are in any way related.
Do you mean BT and PoP?
Somebody somewhere would have seen the child or come forward about it. The child will now be entering the age groups where he'll no longer be able to be hidden. Ted may have heard gossip about a child being planned, but maybe that's all it amounted to - people's lives and plans can change.
There's no sinister plot to undermine baby tile rumors, come on. Nobody has to believe a rumor.
I don't know if the two are in any way related.
Do you mean BT and PoP?
Yes.
Not direct connection, but if BT exist then Jake was OK with keeping BT in the closet for at least next 5-7 years.
I can see it now - "CSI: Morocco"
Thanks to you I have to be rushed to the emergency room for a busted gut.
:)
A TV documentary is this week set to reignite the Tiger Woods affair scandal with claims that the golfer fathered a secret love child.
Woods, who has two children with his estranged wife Elin Nordegren, hid details of the baby with the help of a journalist, it alleges.
Neal Boulton, one of many interviewed for Tiger Woods: The Rise And Fall, said he knows someone who has evidence of the child's existence, including DNA.
'There is a lot more to come out. Tiger will eventually admit to fathering a child,' he confessed.
The programme, is directed by journalist Jacques Peretti and which will air on Channel 4 on Thursday.
More allegations surfaced today that the disgraced golfer paid Theresa Rogers £2million to buy her silence after she gave birth to a girl in 2003, according to the Sun.
Rumours about a secret child have circulated since Woods, 34, split from his wife.
Woods, who is chasing up for his fourth U.S. victory at next week's U.S. Open, has been in the public eye since crashing his car into a fire hydrant and a tree outside his Florida home in November last year and subsequent revelations about his affairs.
He was linked to at least 13 women - including porn star Joslyn James.
During the furore, he lost lucrative contracts with sponsors, including Gillette and Accenture, after the scandal which damaged the billionaire's squeaky clean image.
Woods received six weeks' treatment at a sex addiction clinic in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.

Secret kids are expensive! lol
I can see it now - "CSI: Morocco"
Not as funny as yours:
Without a Camel
Cold Crypt
Amazing Chaste
That kind of hush money would clean Jake's bank account out in short order.
But there's your answer - if he is concerned with maintaining a "straight" image and has a child, why not just say it's a secret love child. Problem solved.
Jake's closet
I love Daddy's closet! He always has the newest Nike chews.
LOL :)
If Tiger Woods has a child, what it shows is even he can't keep up a pretense. The longer time goes on, the less likely there's a Baby Tile. Tick tock.
Dog adage: "Chew until two and shed until dead" ~ I always wonder what Atticus has chewed and ruined of Jake's. It would be funny to hear about it. My dog chewed off the legs of my (formally beautiful) dining room table!
LOL! Bad dog!
The reality may be that Jake is selfish, misguided, self-centered and makes poor decisions.
I don't think someone would beard, especially with someone like Reese, unless there was some truth to this.
I think Jake is also insecure and wants the public's adoration, and thinks he has to be straight to get it. I also think he is arrogant enough to think he can fool everyone, and hide a baby.
After all, if Ted is right, it was Reese who pulled the plug on Reeke and the rug right out from under Jake.
And long-time Reese and Ryan watcher TR posted on OMG that Reese's people could see the public wasn't buying it and it was damaging her image, which is why she did it.
Nothing about Jake feeling the same way.

How so? If Reese pulled the plug than she did Jake a huge favour.
If Tiger Woods has a child, what it shows is even he can't keep up a pretense.
Yes but the difference is Jake and his partner (Austin?) voluntarily chose parenthood and are willing participants together. Other than the child and being gay lol, there's nothing to hide. Exposure to the public usually comes about when the parties involved can't work out their problems between themselves. That's when legalities, money demands and spite come into play and the issue becomes public knowledge.
I also think he is arrogant enough to think he can fool everyone, and hide a baby.
Jake isn't stupid, a baby is a human being which can't stay hidden forever, he can't fool everyone forever, he can't win.
Tiger and the mother of his child were willing participants as well, there is no difference, whether a child was accidental or planned is beside the point.
there is no difference
There is a huge difference. The mother had no reason to hide Tiger's baby, she just had to be quiet about the (real) father.

I beg to disagree.
Poor Elin!
The mother had no reason to hide Tiger's baby, she just had to be quiet about the (real) father.
They wanted to keep it out of the media and for the sake of his reputation, and to keep it from his wife. Good enough reasons.
*glad he doesn't have to worry about pup support*

The mother had no reasons to hide the baby born in 2003, we found out about Tiger only recently.

Huh? There's a huge difference: it's called a third party.

Well she obviously did hide the baby. Duh. Tiger Woods was a public figure back then as he is now.
And he had just gotten married?
Well she obviously did hide the baby.
She didn't hide the baby, what's to hide, it's not like people would guess that Tiger is the father.
I was TOTALLY fooled by Tiger Woods when all the shit came out about him. TOTALLY. I always thought he was a nice balanced family-man person. He's one of the reasons why now I wouldn't be surprised if Jake turned out to be a selfish uncaring asshole; Tiger proved that a public persona can be totally off base.
November 25, 2003. Tiger (27) proposed to Elin (23) in the South African Shamwari Game Reserve while they were on a romantic walk at sunset. They were there for a safari vacation and slept under the stars after the Presidents Cup.
Wedding Date and Info:
October 5, 2004. The ceremony itself was simple although the rest of the wedding preparations were elaborate and expensive. 500 red roses were imported for the wedding.
I was TOTALLY fooled by Tiger Woods when all the shit came out about him.
I read DL, I knew he's fucking everything in sight for years.
She didn't hide the baby, what's to hide
Are you purposely being obtuse or just stupid? The baby was certainly hidden from Elin, never included in Tiger's public information ("father of two")and never mentioned by him in interviews when he talked about his family.
Thanks to you I have to be rushed to the emergency room for a busted gut.
Sorry - I couldn't resist :)

I'm not the original poster, but he certainly didn't need to hide the baby, you wonder why it was all so hush hush. I doubt it would have affected his career back then, and he wasn't married at the time.
She didn't hide the baby, what's to hide
She and the baby lived with Tiger and Elin and attended functions with them? I must have missed those pics in People.

lol, exactly. The two situations aren't at all comparable. Not revealing the identity of a child's father and not revealing a child are two completely different things.

So what? Kid was with her mother and had NORMAL life, she wasn't hidden in the closet like BT.
It amounts to the same thing if you don't know who the child is.
Or the child doesn't know important information about him or herself. It's hiding.

It doesn't, it's not even a similar situation. Millions of kids have just one parent.

If only I could make a living writing this shit.
It's interesting that David Ehrenstein says on that page that James Franco is not gay.
Here's what the other poster said in response:
"Actually David, he is. He's pretty open about it amongst friends and people he works with. When he was in Toronto shooting, he hit on pretty much every hot guy under 30 within a ten mile radius, including a close friend of mine who worked at the hotel Franco was staying at. He even had his b/f with him for half the shoot, and they were quite affectionate at the wrap party."

Well, Franco seems very interested in art and artists, so that would be an appropriate boyfriend for him I guess.
In his LA Pride interview he talks about playing an artist on General Hospital:

This won't help PoP's numbers (and will probably hurt them) and it won't help Jerry, but Disney and Pixar should be happy.
Toy Story 3 - Fans of the first two will find 3 is the magic number
Woody, Buzz and the gang are back on the screen and that's cause for major celebration for moviegoers--it'll also be cause for celebration for theater owners who'll be counting huge box office returns all summer long, and we're not talking toy money here. Disney/Pixar has again come up with the best Toy Story ever--more laughs, more heart, more fun, more toys and all in stunningly well used 3D. What more could audiences want from a movie than this hilarious, heartwarming entertainment for all ages? If you think this summer has gotten off to a lukewarm start, you can count on Pixar (as usual) to come in and save the day with this wonderful and unforgettable movie experience. (continued at link)
The reality may be that Jake is selfish, misguided, self-centered and makes poor decisions.
We know a few things about Jake - he's affectionate, loves his pets, he's capable of having longtime friends, loves Ramona, his childhood wasn't perfect.
Humans are complex beings and celebrities probably even more so that most - he could easily have both sets of characteristics, they're not mutually exclusive. And most people have a little bit of all those things in them anyway.

They are mutually exclusive in BT case.

I don't believe in BT. But I also don't think you can compartmentalize human beings and their characteristics. Almost nothing in life is black and white.
7:41, you are priceless. :)
Almost nothing in life is black and white.
People aren't black and white, but people aren't uncrackable puzzles either.
It is reasonable to assume that people who must "work hard" to have children aren't doing it because they are selfish or self-centered. Everyone can make a poor decision but that doesn't mean the parent will punish his own child for it.

Well, I already said I don't believe it BT, so I'm not sure why you're trying to make an argument where there isn't one. And I stand by my belief that humans are complex and can have many seemingly contradictory characteristics at the same time. That's the only point I was making.
I'm not sure why you're trying to make an argument where there isn't one.
It's obvious, I don't agree with your opinion. BTW, I don't believe in BT either.
The snl clip always makes me happy. It also makes me question if he is gay. It isn’t would he or wouldn’t he do this that makes me question it. There is something in the way he moves around in it. Especially near the end. It’s a very guy move, not that gay men aren’t guys, but it’s just a very natural “guy” movement. I think it is all the talk that he is “soft” and “sweet” and “sensitive” and that’s not what he projects there (and he isn’t that good an actor). But then I think he is just a very athletic kind of guy so that the way he moves and then I think he is gay.
It’s a very guy move, not that gay men aren’t guys,
You've answered your own questions. Gay men are guys. Gay men can be athletic. And people can be sweet and sensitive and move like a guy (whatever that means).
Some good points made about Jake. If you are confident enough or bold enough to think you can sell the world that you are in a heterosexual relationship when you are really gay then you are apt to think you can hide anything including a baby. Especially if you planned to hide it all along. Even Ted mentions that Toothy likes to leak just enough info to keep the story going as he likes the attention.
I just found this site! Not bad. NSFW (duh)

Earthquake in So Cal just hit.
5.7 magnitude. It was kind of scary.
5.9 they're saying now.
It was centered near the San Diego/Mexico/Cali border. They've had 36 aftershock quakes in the last 40 minutes from 2.4 to 4.5, in the area. Fuck! I'll be wearing hiking boots, a bathing suit and a backpack to bed tonight.
Hope everything's OK!

Babies aren't about "fuck you homophopic world" or making as much money as straights. No one in the right mind enjoys hiding his own child like a dirty secret after wanting it really bad. No one can hide a child forever.

If you didn't see last night's premiere of True Blood, do not watch the above clip or read any further. For the rest of you, remember the teasing gay motel scene?
Nooooo! All that buzz about Bill and Sam hooking up turns out to just be a dream, at least so far. The attraction is explained away by Sam having some of Bill's blood in him, and because this is Vampire World, that means sexual orientation goes out the window because anyone's who's fed from a vamp has some erotic connection to him forever.
But let's all pause for a moment to appreciate the "Arkansas water is very … hard" joke.

I do think Jake is gay and there was a Twitter post by an industry insider, Scott Collura, who wrote a few weeks ago there ws some buzzz (yes, 2010 buzz) Jake was indeed planning to come out.
Which was a bit hard to imagine. Not the gay or coming out part per se, but that PoP was just launching promo and premieres. A highly unlikely time for someone to come out, plus I don't think dear old Jake has the bottle.
He's completely industry led and fed. I can understand him being frustrated but he also appears to pander to publicists whims, all those fake OTT appearances with Reese? What total hammery.

I remember that. Was it Scott Collura who originally made it, though, or someone else? Or maybe it was a RT.

That hits the nail on the head. HW born and bred.
I guess Scott Collura didn't have the courage of his convictions - the tweet referred to is no longer on his twitter feed.

ITA. Hiding a baby is the most absurd thing I have ever heard. You are right, if you really want a child, you are not going to hide him or her. Really wanting a child implies that you would put him or her first in your life. As it should be.
@7:25 - I checked his actual Twitter page. Search.Twitter only keeps tweets for 5 or 6 days in that archive. And as I said - nothing there to support the DL story.
Thanks 8:44 AM!
