He's also just finished producing, co-directing and acting in a micro-budget film called Myties Dynamo which he describes bewilderingly as "a thriller about suburbia – one of those old-school, black-comic Hungarian films, a bit like Man Bites Dog".
He's also worried about his own dog, Max, who had a heart attack this week and is now on beta blockers. "I call Max 'Lives-in-Hope'," he says, "because he does – 'Can I have a biscuit?' Max asks. 'Can I go for a walk?' Inevitably the answer is no, but even if it's a rainy day he lives in hope."
Hardy's looks may be remarkable, but his brain is astounding. Talking to him is extraordinary. Though his exhaustion means that his sentences – delivered in a voice that's all gravel and cigarettes – occasionally fail, his imagination and his vocabulary never do. He seems to have a unique way of processing the world around him.
Although the 32-year-old has worked consistently for the past eight years, he made his name with two performances which showcased his remarkable physical versatility and skill as an actor.
First he shrank to nothing to portray Stuart Shorter – a homeless man who suffered from muscular dystrophy and a desperate drug habit – in the TV adaptation of the award-winning book Stuart: A Life Backwards in 2007. He then gained 2½ stone in five weeks to play Britain's most notorious prisoner, Charles Bronson, for the 2009 arthouse film Bronson, which sparked a tabloid outrage for glorifying a violent criminal. At the time it seemed unbelievable that one man could inhabit such different roles so completely. After talking to him, it somehow makes sense.
This year Gemma Arterton starred in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Clash of the Titans, both of which were high profile movies with franchise potential that could keep the actress busy for the next few years.
It doesn’t look like we will be seeing a sequel for Prince of Persia, although Warner Bros. are moving forward with Clash of the Titans 2 and Arterton has revealed that she will be returning.
LOL seeing the new-old TDAT pics reminds me of what Dennis Quaid (he was in TDAT) said about kissing a man in another movie (Far from Heaven, he played a closeted gay man). He said when they shot the first take he and the other actor were going at it like linebackers and the director said "no no it's supposed to romantic!"
I'm glad there won't be a POP sequel. Most of that type of movie have awful sequels. Does anyone still care about POTC?! The only series I thought got better with every sequel was Indiana Jones (three movies) but that's rare. With no sequels POP can stand on its own as a complete movie and not be ruined by adding on stories and trying to keep it going and going and going....
Some of you are so hopeful for Jake’s failure that it is sad that you come here.
Please, enough of that.
This isn't GB or WDW where everything Jake can be only perfect and positive. We were right about reeking. We were right about PoP. Sometimes we are able to predict future, sometimes not, but our discussions and speculations have nothing to do with "hopeful for Jake’s failure".
Tom Hardy: It just doesn’t do it for me, sex with another man. Am I the only one disappointed?
:) I can't say I'm disappointed - it doesn't matter to me whether he wants to have sex with another man. I'm interested in the fact that he was as open as he was in his interview and that he did it in a casual way without trying to make a huge deal out of it. We don't see that often and I wish we did.
"I was young and wild. BTW, gay sex sucks and I'm straight now!" said...
Like a lot of things, I guess it's all in how you read what he (supposedly) said. It's possible he's just being honest and he really isn't interested anymore. Should he pretend that he is? Again, it's hard to judge without really knowing what went on.
I don't read it as his saying gay sex sucks, just that it doesn't float his boat--or so he claims for purposes of the interview. It is possible drugs played a factor in it too, given his history.
Regardless, I think it is still great and amazing that he said it, and that he said "of course." Contrast that to RDJ, who has run away from what was probably a similar background, and claims that he was just "joking' when he claimed to be bisexual.
I think of things like this as another small crack or leak in the homophobic HW machine. If we get enough cracks, eventually the thing is going to come down.
'I've never really been attracted to men sexually, but I don't think I would be afraid of it if it happened.'
And then you turn around and engage in a three-year long bearding sham with a fame-whoring bitch and say things like every man needs a woman and gag when someone suggests you kiss a man.
Soory, that is not my idea of a positive message. I'll take Hardy any day over that.
Contrast that to RDJ, who has run away from what was probably a similar background, and claims that he was just "joking' when he claimed to be bisexual.
RDJ is a joker, but let's be fair: Tom Hardy made sure that no one can call him bisexual.
Didn't Jake once say that he wouldn't mind if people thought he was bisexual? I think he said that purposely and that he was testing the waters because he was considering coming out, but the the powers that be got extremely nervous, pushed him into the closet and slapped duct tape over his mouth until he could be trusted to say the "right" things in an interview.

Jake is some kind of marionette, is he? So it's the handlers we blame, not perfect Jake. yeah, if it wasn't for the powers that be Jake would be saying he's experimented with men. rotflmao.

ffs, where in there did I say Jake was perfect? That's not what I'm implying AT ALL. IMO, he did consider coming out and got talked out of it. But how does that make him perfect? To me, it's exactly the opposite - he doesn't have the strength of his convictions to follow through and put them into action. Which makes whatever convictions he may have had at one time meaningless. I don't see how you interpreted my words as some kind of defense of Jake. It sure doesn't take much for some to get riled and blow things out of proportion :/
Handlers can't force you to do anything. But I have little doubt that they helped convince him that he could be the next big thing and make the A-list, and then told him that he wouldn't get there if he came out. They scared him striaght, so to speak. I also think that Jake and his people thought that Reeke and POP would push him to the top.
I don't think Jake is classic A-list material, and that everything that made him "Jake" was scrubbed away in that fruitless pursuit.
Jake wants to be a good boy loved by all. Hes not a marionette per se. Hes a pleaser and winds up sacrificing himself for it.
The thing about sex is that its easy for Tom to say he is not interested in more sex with men in the abstract. But on the day he locks eyes with a good looking guy who sends shock waves through his body, he'll be ready again.
Well saying the PTB "pushed him into the closet and slapped duct tape over his mouth" presents Jake as a helpless victim and not the agent of his own actions.
Agencies and studios do try to control their stars but it's not the 1940s studio system any longer. Actors can be in charge of their image, message and brand. Angelina Jolie is very in charge, for example. Whether Jake got frightened by the PTB or not, it's still his ultimate decision.
?? But can a message be good and postive if the person delivering it isn't being honest about never having been attracted to a man sexually?
IDK. In of itself it is a gay-positive thing to do say, especially if you know nothing about him. But it was what, over five years ago? Nobody but serious fans of Jake are going to remember that.
If he'd continued to be gay-postive and not engaged in bearding and done other things that I found offensive I would at least feel like he was trying to "do no harm" and be as open as he felt he could be.
Tom Hardy made sure that no one can call him bisexual.
True. But maybe he doesn't identify as bisexual. Having sex with both men and women does not make someone bisexual. After reading the original, full story I realized I was probably wrong to call him bisexual. But you never know, it's still Hollyweird.
And it still doesn't take away from the fact that he has admitted to sex with men and RDJ backed away from that completely.
It will be very interesting to see what Hardy says in the future.
DJ is a joker, but let's be fair: Tom Hardy made sure that no one can call him bisexual.
Give the guy a break. His candor is refreshing for someone in his position. He's about to become a major leading man and to admit to being anything other than a Jake-style 'hunting for the right woman' superstraight takes guts. If the message is mixed, all the more reason to believe it was the real person speaking honestly. Kudos to Tom for not being ashamed of his fluid self.
The thing about sex is that its easy for Tom to say he is not interested in more sex with men in the abstract. But on the day he locks eyes with a good looking guy who sends shock waves through his body, he'll be ready again.
I think that is entirely possible. But if he's in a mongamous relationship with his fiance/wife, maybe he wouldn't act on it. Maybe having found the person he wants to settle down with is a factor in how he phrased it.
Well saying the PTB "pushed him into the closet and slapped duct tape over his mouth" presents Jake as a helpless victim and not the agent of his own actions.
jesus, I was exaggerating/joking to make a point and I wasn't being literal. My point is that I think he did consider coming out and was told in the strongest possible terms that coming out would be career suicide. Obviously, he made the decision to go along with the "recommendations" or whatever they could be called.
But on the day he locks eyes with a good looking guy who sends shock waves through his body, he'll be ready again. **swoon** I like that Tom was open and direct about something that he obviously feels is natural. :) I like that Tom was open and direct about something that he obviously feels is natural.
You are right, I'm not pleased with what Tom H said:
"But I’m not into men sexually. I love the form and the physicality but the gay sex bit does nothing for me. In the same way as a wet vagina would turn someone else into a lemon-sucking freak. To me it just doesn’t compute ..."
So you dislike him for identifying as a straight who has had sex wit men?
No, I dislike what he said because to me it sounds like his experimenting was a mistake, bad experience, and now he has no idea why he did it because he's "not into men sexually" and "gay sex bit does nothing for me".
Easy question - how many gay bj, hj or fucks does a cute boy (who could have sex with girls) need to find out he's not into men sexually and gay sex does nothing for him? :)
You'll have to forgive the headline, but we're just gaga for the guy!
We're talking, of course, about Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the erstwhile child star who's taken the good route to aging (unlike some other former child stars, cough Lindsay Lohan).
With the success of Inception (not to mention all the praise Joseph got for the clever and winning (500) Days of Summer), the 29-year-old hunk has basically solidified his celebrity status for the next few years. The guy's got the youthful looks, the sizable talent and the refreshingly down-to-earth attitude that we always look for in our Hollywood crushes...
Even though he's on the brink of 30 (which is so the new 20, we must say), JGL's one of the most promising young actors we've had the recent pleasure of drooling over.
Here's a shot of Joe looking mighty fine on the set of Premium Rush, his new flick with three other up-and-coming hotties that you should all keep on your radar: Entourage's Dania Ramirez, Sucker Punch's Jamie Chung and Broadway heartthrob Aaron Tveit.
But we digress. Just look at how scrumptious Joe's mug is. And best part, he's not even trying to be stud material. It's rare to call a young'un in Hollywood "cute" anymore, but damn, we don't think there's any other word for the little dimple-muffin.
The next step in ensuring that Gordon-Levitt's one of our mainstay crushes is entering into a romance we can track. How ‘bout it, Jojo? If things don't materialize with model-heiress Devon Aoki, how ‘bout Natalie Portman? Same age and edge and everything!

I have a very simple test for deciding if someone is a looker in my opinion: would I give him/her a second look if I saw him/her on the street? :)
IDK - but his features have grown on me, he's got a beautiful face, some impressive scruff, and he's got a slinky sensuality about his body. And he doesn't look that much like Heath to me, just maybe a little bit around the eyes at times. He's his own man. :)
Dear Ted: Luke and Audrey (charmingly psychotic rescue cats), and myself, are a bit bothered with the whole Blind Vice thing, entertainment aside. Not in a prudish sort of way, but more along the lines of why does it matter what one's sexual preferences or personal habits are as long as it doesn't harm anyone? Why is it a "Vice"? Is this because of your preferences and/or beliefs? I'm just curious, Luke is impatience, and Audrey would love her answer with a pat of butter. —EssDee
Dear Webster: A vice is defined as a bad habit, or something someone engages in that's immoral compared to their definition of moral. My definition is basically anything these famous culprits are up to that they would prefer you didn't know about. For example, of course, being gay is not a vice, but the behavior some gay folks participate in to hide that fact is therein what becomes the vice. The more simplistic vices would be drugs, thievery, drunkenly screwing the cater-waiters, etc.
12:19pm, as a trysexual myself, I find you a little harsh. I think you must be an older generation person because none of my friends have your rigid attitude.
It's funny how actresses can flirt with lesbianism and no one condemns them, but when this actor does the equivalent, he is trashed. By militant gays who fear that talk of experimentation undermines the gay cause, by homophobes who now won't go see Hardy in a movie, by the Upright Citizens Brigade, who can't bear talk of sexuality period.
If the LBGT community trashes Hardy for what he said, how does that encourage other people to treat non-hetero sex as something that's no big deal? Life's not black and white. People aren't perfect, especially actors. So what if Tom Hardy said he's not gay. By owning up to some experimenting he took a few steps in the direction we want to see all people go. The direction of Everything is Okay. Kicking him for it seems counterproductive.
By owning up to some experimenting he took a few steps in the direction we want to see all people go.
That is your opinion. Why would I want to see people backpedaling about their sexual experiment phase? If they aren't going to own it, I prefer them to be silent.
"How ‘bout it, Jojo? If things don't materialize with model-heiress Devon Aoki, how ‘bout Natalie Portman?"
Wait a fuckin minute. I didn't know Joe was into Devon Aoki. I have actually met her several times. This is weird. Have to go track this down now. WTF.
The singer was cagey about the story on her Twitter page, writing, "I just read that I'm bisexual. So 1991. Good thing people write articles about me so I can get my facts [straight]."
Pink has previously insisted that she wasn't into the idea of having a same-sex romance.
"I'm not gay so I guess I would not try a relationship with a woman," she told NOW magazine last year. "I didn't say I haven't experimented, but I love men too much to make it a permanent thing."
Janet Charlton is one of the old-time HW gossipers - she's been on PR payrolls for years and years now. The "I'm the best mother in the world" angle is classic Reese b.s.
At last the truth comes out. An acquaintance of Reese and Jake acknowledges that they were very smitten with each other for quite awhile and seemed perfectly matched. Unfortunately, Jake had a habit that Reese could not live with, and he wouldn’t give it up. He smoked way too much. And we’re not talking nicotine here. Not only did it rub Reese the wrong way, but she worried about her children being exposed to his bad habits. So, regretfully, she moved on. Note: those of you who insist that Jake is gay are NUTS.
Wasn’t/Isn’t Reese’s ex a big pot head. Didn’t he have an apartment to smoke pot in? Didn’t he also say in some interview that he wanted to hang out and smoke pot?
Reese is feeding stupid stories that don’t add up.
I prefer honesty. If someone isn't ready to open about his private life, then it is probably better to be silent.
We don't know if Hardy is being honest or not. My opinion is that he is, yours is that he is not.
I also don't see any backpedaling. I don't know what universe you live in, but in mine a man admitting he's had sex with men, even if he says it wasn't for him, is not the norm, and hardly the kind of thing you'd expect someone in HW to say.
If the LBGT community trashes Hardy for what he said, how does that encourage other people to treat non-hetero sex as something that's no big deal? Life's not black and white.
Unfortunately there seems to be a lot of gay men who love nothing more than to trash performers who are open in any way about the fact they are gay or may have been involved with men, and DataLounge is their temple.
I don't know what universe you live in, but in mine a man admitting he's had sex with men, even if he says it wasn't for him, is not the norm, and hardly the kind of thing you'd expect someone in HW to say.
Tom Hardy said what everyone in Hollywood is saying: I'm not attracted to men, I don't want gay sex, I love pussy!
If experimenting with men isn't a big deal, why was Tom Hardy trying so hard to establish his heterosexuality?
I don't see someone who is "trying so hard" to establish he is straight. If he wanted to do that he shouldn't have talked about it at all.
And if he's working so hard to prove he's straight, why would he have told that story last month on Jonthan Ross about waking up next to a naked man? And saying he didn't remember what had happened?
What other actors do you think would have done that--without throwing in some wretching noises, or stories about scrambling to put on clothes and get away ewwww from that man. Seriously.
I don't see someone who is "trying so hard" to establish he is straight.
From 'of course' to 'straight' in less than 5 seconds:
Have you ever had any sexual relations with men?
As a boy? Of course I have. I’m an actor for *beep*’s sake. I’m an artist. I’ve played with everything and everyone. But I’m not into men sexually. I love the form and the physicality but the gay sex bit does nothing for me. In the same way as a wet vagina would turn someone else into a lemon-sucking freak. To me it just doesn’t compute now I’m into my 30s and it doesn’t do it for me and I’m done experimenting.
^^ Ted on Beyonce and Jay-Z's marriage. If Ted can admit this, then he would easily admit he was wrong about BT, if he was. He could say "So glad I was wrong about BT, since no kid should be hidden away and have to keep his parents a secret."
Why should Ted back off from a probably false BI story? TT stories are just BI's. No one is interested in BT, except for die hard BT believers and I think it's save to say, they aren't a whole bunch of people.
Reese's people didn't feed that story to Charlton, Jake's people did.
It's been months and she moved on and couldn't give a fuck, plus it would make her look like a bad Mom if she let pothead Jake hang around her kids, pothead Dad is different: She was married to him and had kids by him, women unfortunately hang on to men like that for the sake of the kids.
Jake's PR is pathetic, ehat next? They broke up because he was shooting heroin?
Why would Jake's people want people to believe/know he's a pot/whatever head? Jake was befriended with someone who od'd after all. What good would that bring, spreading such rumors? Just so they'd erase the gay rumors? IDK. His people could have come up with something like him wanting to have a baby, but she didn't. You know that what the tabloids fed us 24/7.
If only a few diehards care about TT and BT, then I don't understand why Ted would have a problem admitting he's wrong. It's not like the millions of Twilighters who see blood when they don't like something he says.
2:37PM, I don't buy that for a second. No way is Jake going to spread a rumor about himself that he is a pothead. When he was on Jonathan Ross' show he pretended to be shocked when Ross asked him about smoking dope. 2:43 is right - if they wanted to come up with a story (and I don't even think they want the subject of Reeke brought up anymore), they could come up with lots of other things.
Because it's okay to be a druggie but not a homo in HW.
Sorry, destiny, but I don't believe for a second that Jake wants to be seen as a druggie. Especially after what happend with Heath. I don't even think he wants the subject of Reeke brought up.
Because it's okay to be a druggie but not a homo in HW.
Bullshit. So destiny, you believe Jake's PR is spreading stories Jake is a drug user, so they can add "the gay rumors aren't true" ??! Hell, forget drugs, why not say he's into incest or bestiality? Those two would really make people forget about gay rumors.
Maybe Ted continues out of fun? Who knows? He doesn't have to stop. Die hard BT believers write to him, then he insinuates the toddler exists and OMG members and some posters here are happy for days. Actually he's a good man for giving people what they want.
For the record I do believe Jake and Austin were more than pals for a while... before someone accuses me of being a babbler or calls me other names.
We're talking about stories about being a pothead, not a heroin user.
There are admitted potheads out there and no one seems to have a problem, and some view of them are viewed as edgy or cool. Willie Nelson, Woody Harrelson, Snoop Dog and Bill Maher come to mind just off the top of my head.
Lot's of actors admit to smoking pot including JGL, it's not a hard drug and no big deal.
Thing is, Jake didn't admit that. He never said he used drugs. Never.
If his people wanted to make some shit up, why not adress the baby issue (you know, he wanted one, she didn't).
That said, I don't think Jake's people have anything to do with it. Some posters are so convinced there is a conspiracy and that Jake is behind averything that is written about him, it borders on paranoia.
I'm not saying I absolutely believe it came from Jake, I'd say odds are 50-50. Jake just seems like the one in the need for some publicity right now. Reese has the kids to use, her new movie and pictures with Pattinson, etc.
Yes Jake is in such need of publicity that he is hiding on MV all summer. *rolls eyes* If he wants attention, go to L.A. and hang out with some of your famous pals. I think we are all fans here, more or less. And I think one or two will agree with me that he's not that much of a publicity seeking maniac like some think.

I agree, 3:12. I don't think Jake is looking for publicity right now - at all. He had his fill of publicity for a long time, with Reese and then with PoP promotion. In a few months, he'll be doing promo for LAOD and I'm sure he's happy with the time off.
You're right there's no way Jake would want to be compared to someone like Woody Harrelson, who won an Independent Spirit award for best supporting actor last year for The Messenger, a role that also got him his second Oscar nomination and a lot of critical acclaim. He has a reputation for being a good actor who is not afraid to chose edgy, off-the-beaten path roles. And did I mention he has an Emmy too?
Now look back to last year and compare that to Jake's career.
Now that you say it Destiny, Jake couldn't have done anything better for his career than spreading drug rumors about himself. Now let's cross our fingers for an Indie Spirit award a la Woody H. You figured it all out.
Harrelson fell out of favor with HW and the public for whatever reasons and now at his age (old) he's slowly trying to work his way back in, much less up. He will NEVER be at the top again. Same with Mickey Rourke. I'm sure Jake wouldn't want to be compared to either of them, pot or not.

LOL. Yes, that's it. Jake is using Woody Harrelson as a career role model. Please. Now you're just grasping at straws because you don't want to admit you were wrong. Jake has an Oscar nom and a BAFTA and he went through his "edgy" off the beaten path phase already with Donnie Darko, Highway, etc. He's not looking for that anymore. He's looking for superstar A-list - not Emmy awards. If he wanted to continue that path, he wouldn't have done PoP.
Disappear for a while, do hard drugs, smoke pot, get beaten up and have your face botched with bad plastic surgery, make a movie and voila! win an Oscar!
Jake is using Woody Harrelson as a career role model.
Please learn to read. I didn't say Jake was using people like Harrleson as a role model or that he should. I just said that there are plenty of successful people in HW that are known pot smokers, and any ups and downs in their career have had nothing to do with that being widely known.
Mickey Rourke's career success secret said... Disappear for a while, do hard drugs, smoke pot, get beaten up and have your face botched with bad plastic surgery, make a movie and voila! win an Oscar!
Jake is too vain and loves his heartthrob status too much to botch up his beautiful face, lol (I think he did have a nose job years ago and his plastic surgeon did a great job!)
Jake may very well be a pot/crack head, but why substitute being gay with being a pot/crack head, when he (his peeps) just could have said, they didn't agree about the baby issue? It doesn't make sense to me. It's Jake after all, the guy who seems quite concerned about his image.
I didn't say Jake was using people like Harrleson as a role model
It sounded to me like that's exactly what you were doing. You got pretty specific about Harrelson's career and in fact you made a direct comparison between Jake's career and his, which is a lot different than saying there are plenty of successful people in HW that are known pot smokers, and any ups and downs in their career have had nothing to do with that being widely known. (which may be true, but you're not going to go out of your way to plant a story about yourself that you're a pothead. That's ridiculous)
DiCaprio is equally image obsessed. In a recent interview that pretentious coke head had the nerve to say he never did drugs. When the last time it was reported he snorted coke, was on the set of Blood Diamond. I don't doubt the environment is important to him, but I strongly believe he also does it for image reasons.
I think they would do almost anything if they thought it would put the gay rumors to rest. I wouldn't be surprised if Jake even marched down the aisle if he found the right beard.
Just look at how scrumptious Joe's mug is. And best part, he's not even trying to be stud material. It's rare to call a young'un in Hollywood "cute" anymore, but damn, we don't think there's any other word for the little dimple-muffin.
JGL does have great dimples and smile, doesn't he? Maybe he does look a little bit like Heath, around the jawline and lips, eyes. Just a little. :)
Just goes to show that a man doesn't need to be built like a brick sh*thouse to be sexy. Yes, that's one kind of sexy, but happily there are other sexy men. I need to stop talking about JGL. Ha! :)
Nothing wrong with smoking a little weed. It does nothing for me, I'm sorry to say, but I sure knew people for whom it did. ;)
He appeared last season in a play at the Goodman in Chicago. He starts off the play nude and he has a very nice size dick. He also has a lot of tattoos. But, more importantly, there were a lot of rumors at the theatre that Mr. Hardy was having a fling with one of the understudies...a male understudy.
Ryan is a well known pothead and yet Reese broke up with Jake because she didn't want her pothead bf around her kids (even though daddy is also a pothead)? Please. I doubt very much Jake was toking up in front of the kids. This is bullshit although I don't doubt Jake smokes pot (hey I used to smoke a lot of pot too--I do think booze is far more dangerous).
Heath shouldn't have given up pot. If he had continued to smoke, he would have had no problems with anxiety and sleep.
Anyone who really thinks the pot story wasn't going to get any positive attention for Jake should check out ONTD. Yes, there are a couple of people who agree with Reese (rolling eyes at people who buy the fauxmance), but most don't care or say it only makes him hotter.
If you read the Oscarwatch Forum, so many posters predict Anne as a contender this year. This way you can see how liked she is. But I fear she won't get a nod for LAOD. Right now, I just hope the movie will be well received at least.
Bothersome Gay Activists Didn't Make Obama's 'Worst Parts of Presidency' List
said...
His daughters. Snooki. His iPod playlist. Job losses. Economic recovery. Lots of things were discussed on The View today, but nobody brought up the president's insistence on marriage inequality and his stalled effort to repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell. Which, hey, that's fine. Nobody thought the first View interview with a sitting president was going to have much substance. Including Rosie O'Donnell. Even Sherri Shepherd didn't manage to embarrass herself, and really, isn't that the ultimate win? (video)

I saw that, destiny. 5;38PM is correct about the ONTD commenters who love pothead Jake. Notice that a lot of comments are of the "I want to smoke with him" variety." Besides, I've noticed that the majority of the people at ONTD who comment on Jake posts have never really believed he was gay to begin with.
Name one actor who has seen his or her career crash and burn or had their reputation ruined because he or she smokes pot.
LOL. 5:46PM is right. That's ridiculous spin. I can hear the conversation now - "Well, no one's career has crashed and burned because they smoke pot so that has to be the best kind of story we can plant!"
think they would do almost anything if they thought it would put the gay rumors to rest.
Heroin addict, sex with his sister and mom, axe murderer, he ate Boo, yep that'll get people talking and forget about gay rumors. Yep all those things are so much better than anyone thinking Jake is G-A-Y. /sarcasm
This is what Janet Charlton is saying anyway. Janet says that everybody needs to stop calling Jake Gyllenhaal "Jake Gayllenhaal" or Toothy Tile, because she has it on good authority that he doesn't like a hard peen on his tongue. According to Janet, he prefers a bong on his tongue instead. Janet says this is the real reason why his relationship with Reese Witherspoon didn't work out. From Janet .......
NUTS? Kind of like what Jake likes on his.....Okay, I'll shut my fingers about that already! No more of that shit. Janet would never tell a lie, so I will update my files to say that Jake is straighter than a quick trip to the outhouse (copyright: some hillbilly who said that to me outside of a gas station in Tennessee)! And if Jakey ever needed a quit hit, I'd gladly let him take one off my bong. Anytime!
If Jake's PR wanted him to look straight then why would they bring up smoking pot/crack?! Wouldn't it be better to float around rumors of him: dating a model, getting some girl pregnant, having a possible paternity suit against him or maybe a vid of him having sex with two girls? Smoking pot/crack or using drugs or being thought of as "cool" is NOT limited to heterosexuals.
Hes NOT GAY...He just sometimes loses his balance while sportin' wood when there's a naked man around ass side up...yep, he falls right on to the poor fella impaling him with his pussy lovin' fuck sword...a struggle ensues, there is much thrusting, friction and moaning...and biting and pinching...Finally, the two heterosexuals break free of this 'freak accident' and vow never to 'freak' again...but the glint in their eyes and the soft curl of their lips into a winesome smile says otherwise....GHEY!
Sorry but if I was Jake, reading how Michael K describes a gay person, him, would make me stay in the closet. Some of his stuff is funny but demeaning crap like what he wrote about Jake makes me cringe.
He doesn't have nearly the class Ted has - but I guess he's got his own "niche". lol Trawling the internet for something to regurgitate before deadline.
Jake may be working on his new image for LAOD. A wild and crazy guy, drugs and fast women.
Sounds crazy but who knows. Jake played the gay ambiguity card around the time of BBM. Then for Rendition he was in the are-they-or-aren't-they "love" affair with Reese. For PoP it was being a caveman, hunting for the right woman, partying with hos in Moscow.
I doubt his pr contacted Charlton, but they do have to promote Jake for LAOD. It'll be interesting to see how they do it. The less impressive LAOD is as a movie, the more they'll have to do in other areas. LAOD is not generating big buzz.
That seems to be a trend lately; I notice that even OMG's quality is going downhill, going for the cheap, easy laugh at someone else's expense and calling it "finding inspiration". Doesnt't take a lot of talent for that. Who is ghostwriting over there now, PrairieGirl?
Hmmm, the stern schoolmarm complaining about people picking on Jake. It must be UV, who has done nothing but bitch and moan this week about how everyone is making fun of Jake.
"In the new movie "Inception," Leonardo DiCaprio burrows deep into the subconscious of a self-absorbed plutocrat to plant a powerful idea that will change the world. If the technology used in "Inception" were available in real life, Mr. DiCaprio might burrow into the subconscious of Hollywood plutocrats and plant these paradigm-altering ideas: Stop making movies like "Grown Ups," "Sex and the City 2," "Prince of Persia" and anything that positions Jennifer Aniston or John C. Reilly at the top of the marquee."

~ Tom Hardy
If Jake could be this honest, maybe people here would be enthusiastic about him again.
"I'm a dog, of course I've had gay humps."
~ Atticus
More Tom: The Rake's Progress
He's also just finished producing, co-directing and acting in a micro-budget film called Myties Dynamo which he describes bewilderingly as "a thriller about suburbia – one of those old-school, black-comic Hungarian films, a bit like Man Bites Dog".
He's also worried about his own dog, Max, who had a heart attack this week and is now on beta blockers. "I call Max 'Lives-in-Hope'," he says, "because he does – 'Can I have a biscuit?' Max asks. 'Can I go for a walk?' Inevitably the answer is no, but even if it's a rainy day he lives in hope."
Hardy's looks may be remarkable, but his brain is astounding. Talking to him is extraordinary. Though his exhaustion means that his sentences – delivered in a voice that's all gravel and cigarettes – occasionally fail, his imagination and his vocabulary never do. He seems to have a unique way of processing the world around him.
Although the 32-year-old has worked consistently for the past eight years, he made his name with two performances which showcased his remarkable physical versatility and skill as an actor.
First he shrank to nothing to portray Stuart Shorter – a homeless man who suffered from muscular dystrophy and a desperate drug habit – in the TV adaptation of the award-winning book Stuart: A Life Backwards in 2007. He then gained 2½ stone in five weeks to play Britain's most notorious prisoner, Charles Bronson, for the 2009 arthouse film Bronson, which sparked a tabloid outrage for glorifying a violent criminal. At the time it seemed unbelievable that one man could inhabit such different roles so completely. After talking to him, it somehow makes sense.
"I'm a dog, of course I've had gay humps."
~ Atticus
lol. My dog IS gay. He humps the neighbor's dog all the time and ignores the bitches. :)
He humps the neighbor's dog ...
Remember that Jake and Atticus park sighting when Atticus did the same?
Awww, Atti. :)
I'm an actor, of course I'm not going to mention my sexual relations with men!

This year Gemma Arterton starred in Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Clash of the Titans, both of which were high profile movies with franchise potential that could keep the actress busy for the next few years.
It doesn’t look like we will be seeing a sequel for Prince of Persia, although Warner Bros. are moving forward with Clash of the Titans 2 and Arterton has revealed that she will be returning.
http://filmonic.com/gemma-arterton-will-return-for-clash-of-the-titans-2
Thank god.
LOL seeing the new-old TDAT pics reminds me of what Dennis Quaid (he was in TDAT) said about kissing a man in another movie (Far from Heaven, he played a closeted gay man). He said when they shot the first take he and the other actor were going at it like linebackers and the director said "no no it's supposed to romantic!"
Some like it rough ;)
I'm glad there won't be a POP sequel. Most of that type of movie have awful sequels. Does anyone still care about POTC?! The only series I thought got better with every sequel was Indiana Jones (three movies) but that's rare. With no sequels POP can stand on its own as a complete movie and not be ruined by adding on stories and trying to keep it going and going and going....
I'm glad there won't be a POP sequel.
Me too. Money would be good, but everything else wouldn't.
Books That Made a Difference To Maggie Gyllenhaal
Official Venice lineup was announced and no LAOD either.
Some of you are so hopeful for Jake’s failure that it is sad that you come here.
Please, enough of that.
This isn't GB or WDW where everything Jake can be only perfect and positive. We were right about reeking. We were right about PoP. Sometimes we are able to predict future, sometimes not, but our discussions and speculations have nothing to do with "hopeful for Jake’s failure".
Tom Hardy: It just doesn’t do it for me, sex with another man.
Am I the only one disappointed?
You, me and probably a lot of posters on ONTD.
Nolan sure has a knack for picking the right actors - he also knows what women like. ;)
Am I the only one disappointed?
Of course not!
Tom Hardy: It just doesn’t do it for me, sex with another man.
Am I the only one disappointed?
:) I can't say I'm disappointed - it doesn't matter to me whether he wants to have sex with another man. I'm interested in the fact that he was as open as he was in his interview and that he did it in a casual way without trying to make a huge deal out of it. We don't see that often and I wish we did.
We don't see that often and I wish we did.
Well, I don't want to hear actors talking about experimenting, but not liking gay sex and not planning to do it again.
"I was young and wild. BTW, gay sex sucks and I'm straight now!" said...
Like a lot of things, I guess it's all in how you read what he (supposedly) said. It's possible he's just being honest and he really isn't interested anymore. Should he pretend that he is? Again, it's hard to judge without really knowing what went on.
Like a lot of things, I guess it's all in how you read what he (supposedly) said.
True. All things considered, I don't like his "message".
This is how you keep the message positive :)
'I've never really been attracted to men sexually, but I don't think I would be afraid of it if it happened.'
I don't read it as his saying gay sex sucks, just that it doesn't float his boat--or so he claims for purposes of the interview. It is possible drugs played a factor in it too, given his history.
Regardless, I think it is still great and amazing that he said it, and that he said "of course." Contrast that to RDJ, who has run away from what was probably a similar background, and claims that he was just "joking' when he claimed to be bisexual.
I think of things like this as another small crack or leak in the homophobic HW machine. If we get enough cracks, eventually the thing is going to come down.
This is how you keep the message positive :)
'I've never really been attracted to men sexually, but I don't think I would be afraid of it if it happened.'
And then you turn around and engage in a three-year long bearding sham with a fame-whoring bitch and say things like every man needs a woman and gag when someone suggests you kiss a man.
Soory, that is not my idea of a positive message. I'll take Hardy any day over that.
Contrast that to RDJ, who has run away from what was probably a similar background, and claims that he was just "joking' when he claimed to be bisexual.
RDJ is a joker, but let's be fair: Tom Hardy made sure that no one can call him bisexual.
Soory, that is not my idea of a positive message.
I was talking about that sentence and how it makes me feel - the message is good and positive.
Didn't Jake once say that he wouldn't mind if people thought he was bisexual? I think he said that purposely and that he was testing the waters because he was considering coming out, but the the powers that be got extremely nervous, pushed him into the closet and slapped duct tape over his mouth until he could be trusted to say the "right" things in an interview.
I was talking about that sentence and how it makes me feel - the message is good and positive.
?? But can a message be good and postive if the person delivering it isn't being honest about never having been attracted to a man sexually?
Of course it can! I bet people who know little about Jake would agree.
but the the powers that be got extremely nervous, pushed him into the closet and slapped duct tape over his mouth until he could be trusted to say the "right" things in an interview.
Jake is some kind of marionette, is he? So it's the handlers we blame, not perfect Jake. yeah, if it wasn't for the powers that be Jake would be saying he's experimented with men. rotflmao.
Jake is some kind of marionette, is he? So it's the handlers we blame, not perfect Jake. yeah, if it wasn't for the powers that be Jake would be saying he's experimented with men. rotflmao.
ffs, where in there did I say Jake was perfect? That's not what I'm implying AT ALL. IMO, he did consider coming out and got talked out of it. But how does that make him perfect? To me, it's exactly the opposite - he doesn't have the strength of his convictions to follow through and put them into action. Which makes whatever convictions he may have had at one time meaningless. I don't see how you interpreted my words as some kind of defense of Jake. It sure doesn't take much for some to get riled and blow things out of proportion :/
Handlers can't force you to do anything. But I have little doubt that they helped convince him that he could be the next big thing and make the A-list, and then told him that he wouldn't get there if he came out. They scared him striaght, so to speak. I also think that Jake and his people thought that Reeke and POP would push him to the top.
I don't think Jake is classic A-list material, and that everything that made him "Jake" was scrubbed away in that fruitless pursuit.
Looking forward to new Tom Hardy interviews, even though I think Hollywood will teach him to watch his steps.
Jake wants to be a good boy loved by all. Hes not a marionette per se. Hes a pleaser and winds up sacrificing himself for it.
The thing about sex is that its easy for Tom to say he is not interested in more sex with men in the abstract. But on the day he locks eyes with a good looking guy who sends shock waves through his body, he'll be ready again.
Well saying the PTB "pushed him into the closet and slapped duct tape over his mouth" presents Jake as a helpless victim and not the agent of his own actions.
Agencies and studios do try to control their stars but it's not the 1940s studio system any longer. Actors can be in charge of their image, message and brand. Angelina Jolie is very in charge, for example. Whether Jake got frightened by the PTB or not, it's still his ultimate decision.
But on the day he locks eyes with a good looking guy who sends shock waves through his body, he'll be ready again.
mmmmmmm.

Hi Tom.
?? But can a message be good and postive if the person delivering it isn't being honest about never having been attracted to a man sexually?
IDK. In of itself it is a gay-positive thing to do say, especially if you know nothing about him. But it was what, over five years ago? Nobody but serious fans of Jake are going to remember that.
If he'd continued to be gay-postive and not engaged in bearding and done other things that I found offensive I would at least feel like he was trying to "do no harm" and be as open as he felt he could be.
Tom Hardy made sure that no one can call him bisexual.
True. But maybe he doesn't identify as bisexual. Having sex with both men and women does not make someone bisexual. After reading the original, full story I realized I was probably wrong to call him bisexual. But you never know, it's still Hollyweird.
And it still doesn't take away from the fact that he has admitted to sex with men and RDJ backed away from that completely.
It will be very interesting to see what Hardy says in the future.
DJ is a joker, but let's be fair: Tom Hardy made sure that no one can call him bisexual.
Give the guy a break. His candor is refreshing for someone in his position. He's about to become a major leading man and to admit to being anything other than a Jake-style 'hunting for the right woman' superstraight takes guts. If the message is mixed, all the more reason to believe it was the real person speaking honestly. Kudos to Tom for not being ashamed of his fluid self.
The thing about sex is that its easy for Tom to say he is not interested in more sex with men in the abstract. But on the day he locks eyes with a good looking guy who sends shock waves through his body, he'll be ready again.
I think that is entirely possible. But if he's in a mongamous relationship with his fiance/wife, maybe he wouldn't act on it. Maybe having found the person he wants to settle down with is a factor in how he phrased it.
There were almost 1000 comments on ONTD about Hardy last time I looked; everyone over there was loving the candor and/or finding it hot.
Well saying the PTB "pushed him into the closet and slapped duct tape over his mouth" presents Jake as a helpless victim and not the agent of his own actions.
jesus, I was exaggerating/joking to make a point and I wasn't being literal. My point is that I think he did consider coming out and was told in the strongest possible terms that coming out would be career suicide. Obviously, he made the decision to go along with the "recommendations" or whatever they could be called.
11:49 AM - his message is not mixed, we got it, he's straight.

Too bad they were commenting faked Daily Mail interview.

So you dislike him for identifying as a straight who has had sex wit men?
But on the day he locks eyes with a good looking guy who sends shock waves through his body, he'll be ready again.
**swoon**
I like that Tom was open and direct about something that he obviously feels is natural. :)
And it still doesn't take away from the fact that he has admitted to sex with men and RDJ backed away from that completely.
Admited experimenting when he was a boy, didn't like gay sex, not going to do it again. That is something, but not much.

Tom H did not say that.
I know he didn't say that part, I just thought it was a nice thought, whoever said it. :)
That is something, but not much.
There is no pleasing you.
Jake wants to be a good boy loved by all.
I think this is true. Just one more reason he won't come out.
There is no pleasing you.
You are right, I'm not pleased with what Tom H said:
"But I’m not into men sexually. I love the form and the physicality but the gay sex bit does nothing for me. In the same way as a wet vagina would turn someone else into a lemon-sucking freak. To me it just doesn’t compute ..."
Just one more reason he won't come out.
There could be a million reasons and excuses. What counts are actions.
So you dislike him for identifying as a straight who has had sex wit men?
No, I dislike what he said because to me it sounds like his experimenting was a mistake, bad experience, and now he has no idea why he did it because he's "not into men sexually" and "gay sex bit does nothing for me".
I love the form and the physicality
I don't know what Hardy means by form, but seems to me he is admitting there were things he liked about being with men.
There could be a million reasons and excuses. What counts are actions.
I agree. I wasn't trying to say otherwise.
12:41 PM - men? More than one man?
Easy question - how many gay bj, hj or fucks does a cute boy (who could have sex with girls) need to find out he's not into men sexually and gay sex does nothing for him? :)
Would You Do...Joseph Gordon Love It!?
You'll have to forgive the headline, but we're just gaga for the guy!
We're talking, of course, about Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the erstwhile child star who's taken the good route to aging (unlike some other former child stars, cough Lindsay Lohan).
With the success of Inception (not to mention all the praise Joseph got for the clever and winning (500) Days of Summer), the 29-year-old hunk has basically solidified his celebrity status for the next few years. The guy's got the youthful looks, the sizable talent and the refreshingly down-to-earth attitude that we always look for in our Hollywood crushes...
Even though he's on the brink of 30 (which is so the new 20, we must say), JGL's one of the most promising young actors we've had the recent pleasure of drooling over.
Here's a shot of Joe looking mighty fine on the set of Premium Rush, his new flick with three other up-and-coming hotties that you should all keep on your radar: Entourage's Dania Ramirez, Sucker Punch's Jamie Chung and Broadway heartthrob Aaron Tveit.
But we digress. Just look at how scrumptious Joe's mug is. And best part, he's not even trying to be stud material. It's rare to call a young'un in Hollywood "cute" anymore, but damn, we don't think there's any other word for the little dimple-muffin.
The next step in ensuring that Gordon-Levitt's one of our mainstay crushes is entering into a romance we can track. How ‘bout it, Jojo? If things don't materialize with model-heiress Devon Aoki, how ‘bout Natalie Portman? Same age and edge and everything!
I don't blame him! :)
Ted has a new crush
Bitch!

I have a very simple test for deciding if someone is a looker in my opinion: would I give him/her a second look if I saw him/her on the street? :)
IDK - but his features have grown on me, he's got a beautiful face, some impressive scruff, and he's got a slinky sensuality about his body. And he doesn't look that much like Heath to me, just maybe a little bit around the eyes at times. He's his own man. :)
Dear Ted:
Luke and Audrey (charmingly psychotic rescue cats), and myself, are a bit bothered with the whole Blind Vice thing, entertainment aside. Not in a prudish sort of way, but more along the lines of why does it matter what one's sexual preferences or personal habits are as long as it doesn't harm anyone? Why is it a "Vice"? Is this because of your preferences and/or beliefs? I'm just curious, Luke is impatience, and Audrey would love her answer with a pat of butter.
—EssDee
Dear Webster:
A vice is defined as a bad habit, or something someone engages in that's immoral compared to their definition of moral. My definition is basically anything these famous culprits are up to that they would prefer you didn't know about. For example, of course, being gay is not a vice, but the behavior some gay folks participate in to hide that fact is therein what becomes the vice. The more simplistic vices would be drugs, thievery, drunkenly screwing the cater-waiters, etc.
Bitch Back
12:19pm, as a trysexual myself, I find you a little harsh. I think you must be an older generation person because none of my friends have your rigid attitude.
It's funny how actresses can flirt with lesbianism and no one condemns them, but when this actor does the equivalent, he is trashed. By militant gays who fear that talk of experimentation undermines the gay cause, by homophobes who now won't go see Hardy in a movie, by the Upright Citizens Brigade, who can't bear talk of sexuality period.
If the LBGT community trashes Hardy for what he said, how does that encourage other people to treat non-hetero sex as something that's no big deal? Life's not black and white. People aren't perfect, especially actors. So what if Tom Hardy said he's not gay. By owning up to some experimenting he took a few steps in the direction we want to see all people go. The direction of Everything is Okay. Kicking him for it seems counterproductive.
By owning up to some experimenting he took a few steps in the direction we want to see all people go.
That is your opinion.
Why would I want to see people backpedaling about their sexual experiment phase? If they aren't going to own it, I prefer them to be silent.
Plus, JGL is loaded with acting talent. I love his roles.
"How ‘bout it, Jojo? If things don't materialize with model-heiress Devon Aoki, how ‘bout Natalie Portman?"
Wait a fuckin minute. I didn't know Joe was into Devon Aoki. I have actually met her several times. This is weird. Have to go track this down now. WTF.
Hope to talk more about Tom Hardy another day.
Yes, I'm loving Tom too. Let us know about JGL's romance. :)
The singer was cagey about the story on her Twitter page, writing, "I just read that I'm bisexual. So 1991. Good thing people write articles about me so I can get my facts [straight]."
Pink has previously insisted that she wasn't into the idea of having a same-sex romance.
"I'm not gay so I guess I would not try a relationship with a woman," she told NOW magazine last year. "I didn't say I haven't experimented, but I love men too much to make it a permanent thing."

Why would I want to see people backpedaling about their sexual experiment phase? If they aren't going to own it, I prefer them to be silent.
oh just saw your post. okay, I accept your opinion. there's a lot of silence out there already, but if that's what you prefer, ok.
I prefer honesty. If someone isn't ready to open about his private life, then it is probably better to be silent.
Janet Charlton is one of the old-time HW gossipers - she's been on PR payrolls for years and years now. The "I'm the best mother in the world" angle is classic Reese b.s.
Linked by Special K at OMG:
THE REAL REASON REESE WITHERSPOON AND JAKE GYLLENHAAL BROKE UP- NO, HE’S NOT GAY!
At last the truth comes out. An acquaintance of Reese and Jake acknowledges that they were very smitten with each other for quite awhile and seemed perfectly matched. Unfortunately, Jake had a habit that Reese could not live with, and he wouldn’t give it up. He smoked way too much. And we’re not talking nicotine here. Not only did it rub Reese the wrong way, but she worried about her children being exposed to his bad habits. So, regretfully, she moved on. Note: those of you who insist that Jake is gay are NUTS.
Janet Charlton is accusing Jake of smoking weed? What a stupid bitch.
Wasn’t/Isn’t Reese’s ex a big pot head. Didn’t he have an apartment to smoke pot in? Didn’t he also say in some interview that he wanted to hang out and smoke pot?
Reese is feeding stupid stories that don’t add up.
I prefer honesty. If someone isn't ready to open about his private life, then it is probably better to be silent.
We don't know if Hardy is being honest or not. My opinion is that he is, yours is that he is not.
I also don't see any backpedaling. I don't know what universe you live in, but in mine a man admitting he's had sex with men, even if he says it wasn't for him, is not the norm, and hardly the kind of thing you'd expect someone in HW to say.
If the LBGT community trashes Hardy for what he said, how does that encourage other people to treat non-hetero sex as something that's no big deal? Life's not black and white.
Unfortunately there seems to be a lot of gay men who love nothing more than to trash performers who are open in any way about the fact they are gay or may have been involved with men, and DataLounge is their temple.
Favorite comment to BS Reeke story:
Janet, you are a sucker without a clue. Hope you got compensated well to float the BS story. “He smoked way too much”
He smoked way to much pole, is more like it.
I don't know what universe you live in, but in mine a man admitting he's had sex with men, even if he says it wasn't for him, is not the norm, and hardly the kind of thing you'd expect someone in HW to say.
Tom Hardy said what everyone in Hollywood is saying: I'm not attracted to men, I don't want gay sex, I love pussy!
Janet Charlton is accusing Jake of smoking weed? What a stupid bitch.
She's not just accusing him of smoking weed (which is no big deal, I'm sure he has), she's accusing him of being a total pothead.
He smoked way too much pole, is more like it.
LOL.
If the LBGT community trashes Hardy for what he said, how does that encourage other people to treat non-hetero sex as something that's no big deal?
If experimenting with men isn't a big deal, why was Tom Hardy trying so hard to establish his heterosexuality?
gay sex sucks
What?
smoking weed
Or crack. Lots of things can be smoked.
If experimenting with men isn't a big deal, why was Tom Hardy trying so hard to establish his heterosexuality?
I don't see someone who is "trying so hard" to establish he is straight. If he wanted to do that he shouldn't have talked about it at all.
And if he's working so hard to prove he's straight, why would he have told that story last month on Jonthan Ross about waking up next to a naked man? And saying he didn't remember what had happened?
What other actors do you think would have done that--without throwing in some wretching noises, or stories about scrambling to put on clothes and get away ewwww from that man. Seriously.
Or crack. Lots of things can be smoked.
Very true.
I don't see someone who is "trying so hard" to establish he is straight.
From 'of course' to 'straight' in less than 5 seconds:
Have you ever had any sexual relations with men?
As a boy? Of course I have. I’m an actor for *beep*’s sake. I’m an artist. I’ve played with everything and everyone. But I’m not into men sexually. I love the form and the physicality but the gay sex bit does nothing for me. In the same way as a wet vagina would turn someone else into a lemon-sucking freak. To me it just doesn’t compute now I’m into my 30s and it doesn’t do it for me and I’m done experimenting.
I today's Bitch Back:
—so good for them for proving me wrong.
^^ Ted on Beyonce and Jay-Z's marriage. If Ted can admit this, then he would easily admit he was wrong about BT, if he was. He could say "So glad I was wrong about BT, since no kid should be hidden away and have to keep his parents a secret."
Why should Ted back off from a probably false BI story? TT stories are just BI's. No one is interested in BT, except for die hard BT believers and I think it's save to say, they aren't a whole bunch of people.
"I don't see someone who is "trying so hard" to establish he is straight. If he wanted to do that he shouldn't have talked about it at all"
Maybe. Or maybe someone has pics or videos or something like that and he doesn't want to deal with threats or extortions from his past male lovers.
New-old pics of Jake and Kiki on Wimbledom set at IHJ. Is that Paul Bettany? Wow has he aged, and not well.
Reese's people didn't feed that story to Charlton, Jake's people did.
It's been months and she moved on and couldn't give a fuck, plus it would make her look like a bad Mom if she let pothead Jake hang around her kids, pothead Dad is different: She was married to him and had kids by him, women unfortunately hang on to men like that for the sake of the kids.
Jake's PR is pathetic, ehat next? They broke up because he was shooting heroin?
LOL 2:37, why would Jake's PR spread a story that Jake smokes pot/does drugs?! To further his career?!
Why would Jake's people want people to believe/know he's a pot/whatever head? Jake was befriended with someone who od'd after all. What good would that bring, spreading such rumors?
Just so they'd erase the gay rumors? IDK. His people could have come up with something like him wanting to have a baby, but she didn't. You know that what the tabloids fed us 24/7.
If only a few diehards care about TT and BT, then I don't understand why Ted would have a problem admitting he's wrong. It's not like the millions of Twilighters who see blood when they don't like something he says.
2:37, got nothin? I figured that.
Why would Jake's people want people to believe/know he's a pot/whatever head?
Because it's okay to be a druggie but not a homo in HW. You can also be a woman beater, anti-Semite, racist, tax evader, convicted criminal.......
2:37PM, I don't buy that for a second. No way is Jake going to spread a rumor about himself that he is a pothead. When he was on Jonathan Ross' show he pretended to be shocked when Ross asked him about smoking dope. 2:43 is right - if they wanted to come up with a story (and I don't even think they want the subject of Reeke brought up anymore), they could come up with lots of other things.
Because it's okay to be a druggie but not a homo in HW.
Sorry, destiny, but I don't believe for a second that Jake wants to be seen as a druggie. Especially after what happend with Heath. I don't even think he wants the subject of Reeke brought up.
Because it's okay to be a druggie but not a homo in HW.
Bullshit. So destiny, you believe Jake's PR is spreading stories Jake is a drug user, so they can add "the gay rumors aren't true" ??! Hell, forget drugs, why not say he's into incest or bestiality? Those two would really make people forget about gay rumors.
Maybe Ted continues out of fun? Who knows? He doesn't have to stop. Die hard BT believers write to him, then he insinuates the toddler exists and OMG members and some posters here are happy for days. Actually he's a good man for giving people what they want.
For the record I do believe Jake and Austin were more than pals for a while... before someone accuses me of being a babbler or calls me other names.
IMO, neither Reese or Jake's PR came up with such a stupid,poorly written pot story.
I agree with 2:43 PM. The baby issue would be a little more credible... for random people, at least,not for WFT2's crowd ;)
bestiality
forget about gay rumors.
What? So I nap between his legs with my head on his fully clothed crotch. It's warm there. If I want sex I'll go to the dog park.
Because it's okay to be a druggie but not a homo in HW. You can also be a woman beater, anti-Semite, racist, tax evader, convicted criminal.......
Give me a break woman.
Lot's of actors admit to smoking pot including JGL, it's not a hard drug and no big deal.
It's not hurting JGL's career and it won't hurt Jake's either or J. Aniston's, Pitt's, McBongo...
We're talking about stories about being a pothead, not a heroin user.
There are admitted potheads out there and no one seems to have a problem, and some view of them are viewed as edgy or cool. Willie Nelson, Woody Harrelson, Snoop Dog and Bill Maher come to mind just off the top of my head.

Smoking pot and being a pothead (which the story implies) are two different things.
Lot's of actors admit to smoking pot including JGL, it's not a hard drug and no big deal.
Thing is, Jake didn't admit that. He never said he used drugs. Never.
If his people wanted to make some shit up, why not adress the baby issue (you know, he wanted one, she didn't).
That said, I don't think Jake's people have anything to do with it. Some posters are so convinced there is a conspiracy and that Jake is behind averything that is written about him, it borders on paranoia.
I'm not saying I absolutely believe it came from Jake, I'd say odds are 50-50. Jake just seems like the one in the need for some publicity right now. Reese has the kids to use, her new movie and pictures with Pattinson, etc.
Willie Nelson, Woody Harrelson, Snoop Dog and Bill Maher come to mind just off the top of my head.
destiny, if you think Jake wants his name in the same sentence as any of those people, you must be smoking something, too, lol.
Yes Jake is in such need of publicity that he is hiding on MV all summer. *rolls eyes* If he wants attention, go to L.A. and hang out with some of your famous pals. I think we are all fans here, more or less. And I think one or two will agree with me that he's not that much of a publicity seeking maniac like some think.

Thank you, 3:07. ITA with all of this.
Don't get me wrong, he is more of a famewhore in comparison with some other peers, but he's not THAT bad. Jeez.
Oh man, the babblers must be shitting bricks as we speak. :D
Willie Nelson, Woody Harrelson, Snoop Dog and Bill Maher
destiny, if you think Jake wants his name in the same sentence as any of those people, you must be smoking something, too, lol.
LOL *snort*
Even McBongo..yeah his career is going so well *rolls eyes*
I agree, 3:12. I don't think Jake is looking for publicity right now - at all. He had his fill of publicity for a long time, with Reese and then with PoP promotion. In a few months, he'll be doing promo for LAOD and I'm sure he's happy with the time off.
The only career McBongo has is parading his bastards on the beach for TMZ.
You're right there's no way Jake would want to be compared to someone like Woody Harrelson, who won an Independent Spirit award for best supporting actor last year for The Messenger, a role that also got him his second Oscar nomination and a lot of critical acclaim. He has a reputation for being a good actor who is not afraid to chose edgy, off-the-beaten path roles. And did I mention he has an Emmy too?
Now look back to last year and compare that to Jake's career.
^^A little harsh 3:18, but sadly true.
Now that you say it Destiny, Jake couldn't have done anything better for his career than spreading drug rumors about himself. Now let's cross our fingers for an Indie Spirit award a la Woody H. You figured it all out.
IA with Destiny.
Harrelson fell out of favor with HW and the public for whatever reasons and now at his age (old) he's slowly trying to work his way back in, much less up. He will NEVER be at the top again. Same with Mickey Rourke. I'm sure Jake wouldn't want to be compared to either of them, pot or not.

LOL. Yes, that's it. Jake is using Woody Harrelson as a career role model. Please. Now you're just grasping at straws because you don't want to admit you were wrong. Jake has an Oscar nom and a BAFTA and he went through his "edgy" off the beaten path phase already with Donnie Darko, Highway, etc. He's not looking for that anymore. He's looking for superstar A-list - not Emmy awards. If he wanted to continue that path, he wouldn't have done PoP.
The average age of posters here must be 50, pot is no longer a big deal.
JGL admits smoking pot in recent interview and he isn't the only one.
Of course Jake would never admit to it but I do remember when he was with Kiki people said that they both reeked of pot at times.
Jake does appear high at times, glassy-eyed, etc.
His parents used to smoke pot at parties at MV, well known. Former hippies and would give out joints at parties instead of martinis, it was hip!
Of course as they got older they stopped but you wanna bet Jake and Maggie caught a contact, LOL!!
3:29 PM # 2, still Jake never openly admitted it and I doubt very much he gave his people green light to spread it. No way.
Disappear for a while, do hard drugs, smoke pot, get beaten up and have your face botched with bad plastic surgery, make a movie and voila! win an Oscar!
3:29 #2, Jack don't you have someplace better-fitting to be? Like an anti-Jake blog?
LOL!!
Jack, the only one who thinks your posts are accurate and clever is you.
Jake is using Woody Harrelson as a career role model.
Please learn to read. I didn't say Jake was using people like Harrleson as a role model or that he should. I just said that there are plenty of successful people in HW that are known pot smokers, and any ups and downs in their career have had nothing to do with that being widely known.
Nooooo!! Jake is a duggie pothead????
LOL!

Jake is too vain and loves his heartthrob status too much to botch up his beautiful face, lol (I think he did have a nose job years ago and his plastic surgeon did a great job!)
Jake may very well be a pot/crack head, but why substitute being gay with being a pot/crack head, when he (his peeps) just could have said, they didn't agree about the baby issue? It doesn't make sense to me. It's Jake after all, the guy who seems quite concerned about his image.
I guess we have to agree to disagree.

Read the posts silly, nobody denies he is a pothead, but "image obsessed Jake" would never admit that or make it public by his people.
I didn't say Jake was using people like Harrleson as a role model
It sounded to me like that's exactly what you were doing. You got pretty specific about Harrelson's career and in fact you made a direct comparison between Jake's career and his, which is a lot different than saying there are plenty of successful people in HW that are known pot smokers, and any ups and downs in their career have had nothing to do with that being widely known. (which may be true, but you're not going to go out of your way to plant a story about yourself that you're a pothead. That's ridiculous)
DiCaprio is equally image obsessed. In a recent interview that pretentious coke head had the nerve to say he never did drugs. When the last time it was reported he snorted coke, was on the set of Blood Diamond. I don't doubt the environment is important to him, but I strongly believe he also does it for image reasons.
I think they would do almost anything if they thought it would put the gay rumors to rest. I wouldn't be surprised if Jake even marched down the aisle if he found the right beard.

Tell me, why not just say he wanted a baby and she didn't? Why bring up drugs? I'd appreciate you sharing your opinion on this.

Obviously you do.
Planting drug rumors to get publicity, 3 months before LAOD promotion or ever, would be insane.
Just look at how scrumptious Joe's mug is. And best part, he's not even trying to be stud material. It's rare to call a young'un in Hollywood "cute" anymore, but damn, we don't think there's any other word for the little dimple-muffin.
JGL does have great dimples and smile, doesn't he? Maybe he does look a little bit like Heath, around the jawline and lips, eyes. Just a little. :)
Just goes to show that a man doesn't need to be built like a brick sh*thouse to be sexy. Yes, that's one kind of sexy, but happily there are other sexy men. I need to stop talking about JGL. Ha! :)
Nothing wrong with smoking a little weed. It does nothing for me, I'm sorry to say, but I sure knew people for whom it did. ;)
Jake may be working on his new image for LAOD. A wild and crazy guy, drugs and fast women.

IA. It would be and he didn't. People go overboard with conspiracy theories.
Jake may be working on his new image for LAOD. A wild and crazy guy, drugs and fast women.
Do you also believe he was ambiguous about his sexuality, making people believe he's gay or bi, because he wanted to promote BBM?
Yeah, right. Next week his PR will plant story about Jake hitting kittens to make him look edgy and get even more publicity.
Then I'm all done with him.
I need to stop talking about JGL.
Not to me :) I think he's adorable and effortlessly sexy.
*That little fucker!*
Hitting people is allowed, but hitting cats and dogs is a big no-no.

James Franco's Gross-Out Art Involves Genitalia, Defecation
ONTD
Oh boy!
He appeared last season in a play at the Goodman in Chicago. He starts off the play nude and he has a very nice size dick. He also has a lot of tattoos. But, more importantly, there were a lot of rumors at the theatre that Mr. Hardy was having a fling with one of the understudies...a male understudy.
The cat did it!
My Cats, World Class Porn Dogs
Bloody cats!
Defecation in a movie?
Franco is 34 years late. (Constipation? :) )
Wim Wenders filmed a defecation scene in Kings of the Road (1976, Germany).
Ryan is a well known pothead and yet Reese broke up with Jake because she didn't want her pothead bf around her kids (even though daddy is also a pothead)? Please. I doubt very much Jake was toking up in front of the kids. This is bullshit although I don't doubt Jake smokes pot (hey I used to smoke a lot of pot too--I do think booze is far more dangerous).
Heath shouldn't have given up pot. If he had continued to smoke, he would have had no problems with anxiety and sleep.
Jake wasn't around beard's kids.
^^I know, poor darling. (((Heath)))
Gold Derby nuggets: Sasha Stone on state of best actress Oscar race | Guy Lodge: No complaints about Venice lineup

Among the predictions: Annette Bening, Julianne Moore, Michelle Williams etc.
No mention of Ms. Hathaway.
Anyone who really thinks the pot story wasn't going to get any positive attention for Jake should check out ONTD. Yes, there are a couple of people who agree with Reese (rolling eyes at people who buy the fauxmance), but most don't care or say it only makes him hotter.
ONTD
If you read the Oscarwatch Forum, so many posters predict Anne as a contender this year. This way you can see how liked she is. But I fear she won't get a nod for LAOD. Right now, I just hope the movie will be well received at least.
ONTD
You can'f foresee reactions Destiny. ONTD posters are mostly young College girls, very open-minded. Other fan groups may not be as understanding.
Name one actor who has seen his or her career crash and burn or had their reputation ruined because he or she smokes pot.
5:43 PM - please don't try to spin it, smoking pot is not good PR, never was, never will be.
His daughters. Snooki. His iPod playlist. Job losses. Economic recovery. Lots of things were discussed on The View today, but nobody brought up the president's insistence on marriage inequality and his stalled effort to repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell. Which, hey, that's fine. Nobody thought the first View interview with a sitting president was going to have much substance. Including Rosie O'Donnell. Even Sherri Shepherd didn't manage to embarrass herself, and really, isn't that the ultimate win? (video)

ONTD
I saw that, destiny. 5;38PM is correct about the ONTD commenters who love pothead Jake. Notice that a lot of comments are of the "I want to smoke with him" variety." Besides, I've noticed that the majority of the people at ONTD who comment on Jake posts have never really believed he was gay to begin with.
Name one actor who has seen his or her career crash and burn or had their reputation ruined because he or she smokes pot.
LOL. 5:46PM is right. That's ridiculous spin. I can hear the conversation now - "Well, no one's career has crashed and burned because they smoke pot so that has to be the best kind of story we can plant!"

Heroin addict, sex with his sister and mom, axe murderer, he ate Boo, yep that'll get people talking and forget about gay rumors. Yep all those things are so much better than anyone thinking Jake is G-A-Y. /sarcasm

Some of the comments on Towleroad are pretty funny.
Jake is Not Gay
Not quite spelled the same but the same nonetheless.
Charlton = Charlatan
Why is everyone believing this idiot?!
This is what Janet Charlton is saying anyway. Janet says that everybody needs to stop calling Jake Gyllenhaal "Jake Gayllenhaal" or Toothy Tile, because she has it on good authority that he doesn't like a hard peen on his tongue. According to Janet, he prefers a bong on his tongue instead. Janet says this is the real reason why his relationship with Reese Witherspoon didn't work out. From Janet .......
NUTS? Kind of like what Jake likes on his.....Okay, I'll shut my fingers about that already! No more of that shit. Janet would never tell a lie, so I will update my files to say that Jake is straighter than a quick trip to the outhouse (copyright: some hillbilly who said that to me outside of a gas station in Tennessee)! And if Jakey ever needed a quit hit, I'd gladly let him take one off my bong. Anytime!
Jakey Smokes Pot, Not the Pole
You should see "my bong" MK links to in the post.
If Jake's PR wanted him to look straight then why would they bring up smoking pot/crack?! Wouldn't it be better to float around rumors of him: dating a model, getting some girl pregnant, having a possible paternity suit against him or maybe a vid of him having sex with two girls? Smoking pot/crack or using drugs or being thought of as "cool" is NOT limited to heterosexuals.
ROFLMAO over this comment on Dlisted:
Hes NOT GAY...He just sometimes loses his balance while sportin' wood when there's a naked man around ass side up...yep, he falls right on to the poor fella impaling him with his pussy lovin' fuck sword...a struggle ensues, there is much thrusting, friction and moaning...and biting and pinching...Finally, the two heterosexuals break free of this 'freak accident' and vow never to 'freak' again...but the glint in their eyes and the soft curl of their lips into a winesome smile says otherwise....GHEY!
Where does MichaelK get his material? lol
The fangirls on ONTD love pothead Jake, aren't you always linking to that site saying how on the mark they are??
MichaelK sounds like he's a slashfan.
Sorry but if I was Jake, reading how Michael K describes a gay person, him, would make me stay in the closet. Some of his stuff is funny but demeaning crap like what he wrote about Jake makes me cringe.
He doesn't have nearly the class Ted has - but I guess he's got his own "niche". lol Trawling the internet for something to regurgitate before deadline.
^^if he can't come up with something original on his own in time, that is. :)
Jake may be working on his new image for LAOD. A wild and crazy guy, drugs and fast women.
Sounds crazy but who knows. Jake played the gay ambiguity card around the time of BBM. Then for Rendition he was in the are-they-or-aren't-they "love" affair with Reese. For PoP it was being a caveman, hunting for the right woman, partying with hos in Moscow.
I doubt his pr contacted Charlton, but they do have to promote Jake for LAOD. It'll be interesting to see how they do it. The less impressive LAOD is as a movie, the more they'll have to do in other areas. LAOD is not generating big buzz.
Who you callin' a bottomfeeder!
That seems to be a trend lately; I notice that even OMG's quality is going downhill, going for the cheap, easy laugh at someone else's expense and calling it "finding inspiration". Doesnt't take a lot of talent for that. Who is ghostwriting over there now, PrairieGirl?
Hmmm, the stern schoolmarm complaining about people picking on Jake. It must be UV, who has done nothing but bitch and moan this week about how everyone is making fun of Jake.
At least she's original. :)
Where is Jack when you need him? lol
Joe Queenan on The Worst Movie Year Ever
"In the new movie "Inception," Leonardo DiCaprio burrows deep into the subconscious of a self-absorbed plutocrat to plant a powerful idea that will change the world. If the technology used in "Inception" were available in real life, Mr. DiCaprio might burrow into the subconscious of Hollywood plutocrats and plant these paradigm-altering ideas: Stop making movies like "Grown Ups," "Sex and the City 2," "Prince of Persia" and anything that positions Jennifer Aniston or John C. Reilly at the top of the marquee."
You go, Joe.
