Love and Obstacles

Cynthia Nixon and family

October 4, 2010

This past weekend, the New Yorker held its annual festival, which -- as always -- includes a multitude of speakers and panels discussing a variety of topics. Top players in all professions were represented, including Stephen King, Malcolm Gladwell, Jake Gyllenhaal and Regina Spektor -- all chatting about themselves and their areas of expertise. Our favorite, though, would have to have been Cynthia Nixon on the panel discussion "Love and Obstacles: The Case for Gay Marriage."

Ms. Nixon, who is most known for her role has Miranda Hobbes in Sex and the City, and now is engaged to education activist Christine Marinoni, stole our hearts with her rather calm, well made argument. Not only does she make a good case, she makes an example of how to make said point.

“Gay people who want to marry have no desire to redefine marriage in any way. When women got the vote, they did not redefine voting. When African-Americans got the right to sit at a lunch counter alongside white people, they did not redefine eating out. They were simply invited to the table. And that is all we want to do. We have no desire to change marriage. We want to be entitled to not only the same privileges, but the same responsibilities as straight people.”

Ryan and Michelle's awkwardness is just playfull promo ways. I'm not saying they are coldly facking it, but the style of their movie coupling suits that image better.

Anne and Jake are promoting a "sex on a stick" kind of movie,plus LAOD seems to be more about promoting Jake's straightness than an actual story. They are acting touchy and baldy, it's all about promoting their shit.

Anne H. has a new movie with Chaning Tatum:

That girl's lucky. First she works with Jake, then she'll work with Franco and then Tatum.

Don't Ask Jake Gyllenhaal About Taylor Swift

While Jake Gyllenhaal makes the rounds promoting Love and Other Drugs, there's something super-private attached to his hip. And it's not Taylor Swift's phone number. Nope, wherever Jake goes, his publicist trails, bullishly laying down the law to reporters.

"No personal questions to Jake or he'll be pulled away, you got it?"

That's the line we (and many, many other reporters) got last week at the premiere, with one of those daring glares right at us like, you mention Taylor Swift I'm going to kick your ass.

But one journo didn't exactly play by the rules...

At a Love press conference in NYC, an interviewer went for it and asked J.G. what the deal was with Taylor Swift.

After the few seconds of awkward silence, Anne Hathaway jumped in for her buddy:

"Hang on, hang on, I have to say something! I have been Jake's onscreen love interest for years, all right? You keep the conversation to me and only me, otherwise I'm going to get nasty!"

Way to shut it down, girl! Jake's team was very pleased. But really, we must ask: Why is this duo being treated with the same secrecy as Robert Pattinson's relationship with taking a shower? It's all good, sexy fun, everybody. Own it, already!

It's the good old Robsten rule: Keep the fire going with nondenials (à la T.Swift on Ellen). It's certainly been working well for the couple referred to as Jaylor, so far.

Obviously, Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart couldn't keep their relaysh a secret for very long, and the same could be said about Jake and Taylor.

The pair supposedly met up over the weekend for another flirtfest before Swift headed to Nashville Sunday for CMA rehearsals.

And apparently, that's not the only thing Jake is trying to keep hidden.

Popeater reports Gyllenhaal hasn't invited Swift to a screening of Love and Other Drugs because he thinks it's too soon for T.S. to see him so naked.

Ummm, so does that mean ice cream dates and a makeout session are as far as the couple has gone? Shame on that.

You are talking of the time when they already have split.

So what, you said "Michelle always took her to movie sets and to all her travels. Heath did not. When Heath traveled, Matilda stayed with Michelle at home." which isn't true together or apart.

Heath (and other people who know him) said he took time off to be with Matilda, cook for her and play mister mom and there's no reason to doubt him. A few days a month in LA doesn't change anything. Michelle was mostly filming in NYC so she probably left Matilda at home with Heath and the nanny.

I formed my opinion about Heath as a father thanks to pictures, quotes and facts, and unless you post some links that show Heath as a very absent, bad or irresponsible father I'll stick to it.

Taking your baby for a ride in a stroller doesn't make you a great dad. Heath loved his baby but he loved to party more, that's why Michelle told him to go away. Accept it.

Heath had a drug habit and od'd on prescription drugs when his little girl was only two. He spent Christmas at home with family, friends and Gemma, but didn't go to Sweden to see Matilda. Michelle's people said in that VF Gilliam interview that Heath could have come to Sweden to see Matilda if he WANTED to.

I never said or acted like I knew anything, unlike you. Read again, I said "my opinion". If it makes you (and others) feel better to think Heath was a lousy father, go ahead, but don't pretend you know facts "Heath loved his baby but he loved to party more, that's why Michelle told him to go away. Accept it."

When the truth about Heath and Michelle eventually comes out I think you'll find it's the other way around. Until then have a nice day!

Bitch Back

Dear Ted:
My question is about the star of B.V.s everywhere, Toothy Tile. Back in May, you confirmed that Toothy and Grey Goose were still an item, but have since hinted that things have cooled off considerably. Are they still seeing each other sometimes, or has there been an actual breakup?
—Gabrielle

Dear Toothalicious:
Does any couple that's in love ever really break up? Nope.


Dear Ted:
Would you please finally "And It Ain't" Jake Gyllenhaal as Toothy Tile? I get so sick of these people running around being so certain he's T.T. Can you shut them up once and for all and sic them all on a new suspect?
—Wouldn'tCareifHeWasJustSickofKnow-it-all-Jerks

Dear And It Ain't:
It doesn't really matter what you care or think because according to Jake, it ain't him.


Dear Ted:
Wanna help a volunteer fanatic overcome the Monday blues? Really? Thanks! Rank the following according to how emotionally close (like BFFs) the following closeted stars are to their respective current beards, from besties to enemies in it for the PR: Toothy Tile, Seymour Plow-Me-More, Harland Fuss and Jackie Bouffant. Sending some hungover kisses your way!
—Hannah

Dear Rhetorical:
Jackie the closest, by far. Seymour a distant second, and Toothy and Harland? Don't even ask!


Dear Ted:
Is there any truth that Toothy Tile and Grey Goose may be working on a movie project together.

Nope. One half of the once PR love buzz is making cinematic waves, but the other...not so much! One can dream, though. How hot would that be? I wouldn't put it past, Toothy, actually.

Since then we find out that it was Peter that was interested in that race and most likely Jake was tagging along.

They like their fan fic don't they?

PS They are also pissed at Ramona for giving Uncle Jake a few silly brandtz braclets, I guess they thought that he bought them himself and was wearing them for some "reason", LOL!!

President Obama Had a Gay Nanny Who Joined a Drag Troupe

From a NYT article on Obama's visit Tuesday to Jakarta, Indonesia, where he lived as a boy from 1967 to 1971:

"Obama Mr. Obama’s family rented the guest house inside a compound belonging to a prominent physician. There, according to the neighborhood’s longtime residents, the young Obama, who had already experienced differences in class and religion in his short stay in Indonesia, was exposed to another aspect of Jakarta’s diversity.

His nanny was an openly gay man who, in keeping with Indonesia’s relaxed attitudes toward homosexuality, carried on an affair with a local butcher, longtime residents said. The nanny later joined a group of transvestites called Fantastic Dolls, who, like the many transvestites who remain fixtures of Jakarta’s streetscape, entertained people by dancing and playing volleyball."

Some discussion the other day about how RT works - found this on their site:

FAQs

REVIEWS
.....
How are reviews selected and gathered?

We gather reviews from a set pool of sources (Approved Tomatometer Critics), either by checking their sites or having the critics or webmasters submit the review to us.

On the day a movie opens -- usually Friday mornings by 8:00 a.m. (PST) - only reviews from Approved Tomatometer Critics are listed. If you want to read a review from a critic who is not counted toward the tomatometer, select "All Film Reviews" from the drop down menu above the cast names and just below the movie title.

What is your methodology for defining whether a review that does not include a star rating or other objective grading scale counts as a Fresh or Rotten rating on the tomatometer?

Most critics from the Online Film Critics Society (OFCS) enter their own quotes and ratings. For critics who don't enter in their own quotes and ratings, it's basically up to the judgment of the editors. They take into account word choice, rating (if any), tone, and who's the critic in their determination of whether a review is positive or not. If an editor is not certain about a review, it is sent to another editor for a second opinion. "Wishy-washy" reviews, reviews that are really difficult to determine if the critic recommends the film or not, are usually given a Rotten because if the critic is not confident enough to give the movie even an implied recommendation, then we shouldn't either.

A Porno Based On Taylor Swift & Kanye West Is Being Considered

Do you wish long-time rivals Kanye and Taylor would kiss and make up already?

The good people at Vivid Entertainment want the same thing, though they’d like to see Kanye West, 33, and Taylor Swift, 20, do a whole lot more than just kiss. The adult video giant confirms to HollywoodLife.com exclusively that an adult film based on Kanye and Taylor’s ongoing war of words might not be far off. “Vivid is definitely considering the situation between Taylor and Kanye for a movie,” reveals Steven Hirsch, founder and co-chairman of Vivid Entertainment. “Of course, our take would be in parody form and could heat up the relationship between the two.”

Negative Roger Ebert Quote Used On Asian DVD of The Perfect Man

Roger Ebert posted a picture on his blog of an Asian DVD cover for Hilary Duff's movie The Perfect Man in which they used a very negative quote on the front cover of the DVD. It reads:

"The Perfect Man takes its idiotic plot and uses it as the excuse for scenes of awesome stupidity"

Ebert, who posted the image on his blog, simply remarked with "I love it when I'm quoted correctly."

VIDEO: Jake Gyllenhaal: "It's Always Tricky Getting a Girl"

With his good looks, nice-guy rep and history of dating beautiful women, it's hard to believe that Jake Gyllenhaal has any trouble in the romance department. But the adorable star of Love & Other Drugs (which hits theaters Nov. 24) insists it can be tough.

"It's always tricky getting a girl," the 29-year-old actor (who's rumored to be dating Taylor Swift) tells iVillage exclusively. "There ain't nothing easy about it."

Luckily, costar Anne Hathaway, 27, was at our sitdown to ask the question everyone's thinking: "Even for you?!"

Watch our exclusive interview to find out how the onscreen couple felt about stripping down for their racy sex scenes and why Gyllenhaal says "women are amazing and complicated creatures."

Not only does he ping in those interviews but he cant control his initial wave of lust for the young male interviewer in one. He recovers after a minute but you can see it pass his face. The interviewer finds an excuse to ask for a hug at the end and Jake is eager to respond. Checking for hardness.

I'm hoping for mostly positive reviews for LAOD, too. I do think it will do well at the b.o. But from the reviews I've read, it sounds more like a typical romcom/drama than I'd thought at first.

BV looks amazing and I love that poster. Completely different type of movie than LAOD though. Meant to be gritty and raw, whereas Jake and Anne are so shined and polished looking in LAOD trailers and pics.

This idea comes from some poster(s) who responded to David Poland's, I paraphrase, it's Jake's fault that LAOD is just a good, not a great movie. I didn't see the movie, so I can't judge.

Hey Ted:
I have never written in before but I had to ask you about the Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal "relationship." All the ice cream dates and apple picking honestly make me want to vomit. It seems just a little too convenient. Taylor has a new record and Jake has a movie coming out soon. It does remind me of Swift's old ice cream "dates" with Taylor Lautner. Anyway, what is your opinion: Is this relationship Hollywood fake, or are Jake and Taylor the real deal?
—Nee

Dear Hold Your Vom:
Awful will be the first to say we were stumped, and a little sick to our tums, when we heard about Jaylor, especially after the short-lived stunt Swifty pulled with everyone's favorite werewolf. Still, doesn't Jakey not wanting to dish about his country honey on the red carpet last weekend make all this licking and picking totally seem real? I know, and I'm straight.


Dear Ted:
You have stated in the past that Toothy Tile knows who he is, reads your column and is quite flattered by his moniker. Now that got me wondering: Knowing all this, do you still personally interview him on the red carpet or for sit-downs? Are you able to keep a straight face, look him in the eye and not call him Toothy? Or are you banned from actually talking to him? We all know Hollywood is all about pretense, but come on, in his everyday life, people must refer to him as Toothy to his face, and every time, he must be thinking of paying you back, no?
—Rita

Dear Too Much Tooth:
Paying me back? Darling, Tooth is most grateful for any and all publicity I afford him—of this I am certain. You must remember, this is a guy who's totally into kinky, extraordinary sex, which few of his fans know about. And when Mr. Tile gets to see the items we write up about him, he totally gets the biggest vicarious thrill imaginable.


Dear Ted:
With Taylor Swift being all over the news lately with her new album release, it has me wondering: Has she ever cracked under pressure? Does she have her own Blind Vice hidden away somewhere?
—Emma

Dear Blinded by the Blond:
Taylor will never crack—that's one tough little mother. And yes, of course, she has a Blind all to her own, already, that's a given!

TAYLOR SWIFT & JAKE GYLLENHAAL HOOK-UP SECRETS

WHO is the ex-lover who hooked up JAKE GYLLENHAAL with America's sweetheart TAYLOR SWIFT?!

REESE WITHERSOON!

Reese still feels so bad about dumping Jake Gyllenhaal that she recently played matchmaker and hooked him up with country cutie Taylor Swift, sources say.

The Brokeback Mountain hunk has been unhappily single since splitting from Reese about a year ago, sources say, while the Oscar-winning actress is seriously dating agent Jim Toth.

"Reese and Jim are deliriously happy," divulged a close pal. "They are living together in Los Angeles and are talking about getting engaged. But Jake hadn't found anyone else, and has been miserable."

The Legally Blonde beauty stayed in touch with Jake after their two-year romance ended, and Jake, 29, recently confided that Taylor, 20, had caught his eye, said the source.

That's when Reese went into matchmaking mode, said the source.

She called the young star- who's dated Twilight hunk Taylor Lautner, heartthrob Joe Jonas and musician John Mayer - to sing her ex's praises, said the insider.

"Reese told Taylor that Jake's a good guy who's romantic and a lot of fun, but would never take advantage of her," said the source.

Taylor then invited Jake to accompany her to New York where her friend Emma Stone was hosting Saturday Night Live, the source revealed.

"Jake and Taylor went to the show, had breakfast the next morning and spent a wonderful weekend together," said the source.

"Reese told a friend, 'I've felt bad that Jake's been hurting since we broke up.

"Hopefully, Taylor's the one for him.'"

Are Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen Friends or Are They Friends?

In its uncanny style, accompanied with all the emotion of a Beverly Hills housewife's face, People declared that Rachel Bilson and her hunky ex-boyfriend Hayden Christensen are back together and "dating again," according to an unnamed friend to the former O.C. actor.

People goes on to gush that Bilson and her onetime fiancé Christensen, whose career seems to have taken on a distinctly unblockbuster taint after his Star Wars flicks, "aren't hiding it, either."

This statement was backed up by the fact that Hayden was recently seen leaving Rachel's Los Feliz house. Well, we have unnamed sources, too, girlfriends, and this is what one close to Hayden has to say:

"Yeah, they still talk. They still see each other. But are they back together?" asks the (also handsome) pal to the extremely handsome Canadian actor, "I wouldn't say that, exactly."

So what the hell does that mean, exactly, we pressed.

"Let me just put it this way: In a time when Jake Gyllenhaal is going on ice cream dates, yeah, Rachel and Hayden are back on, and they'll get married, too!"

For real?

At this point, our not-so-tight-lipped Hayden chum got sick of our questions and suddenly zipped it. Hmmm. Did we press too hard?

Or better yet, does anybody really care here? Hey, we love romance and breakup (sex) stories just as much as the next lovesick reporter, but we're just asking!

Anne Hathaway, would you like to start off the discussion? You did so well with Jake.

People Magazine said...

Jake and Taylor update! People has the well-researched facts on why this unexpected pairing is working. And by facts, I mean unnamed sources. Friends of Swift say that Jake is super sweet to Taylor and has charmed her so much that she is always giddy about seeing him. No, duh! It’s Jake! Another thing that supposedly strengthens the twosome? Gyllenhaal is big fan of Taylor’s music. Does this mean he is in it for the free serenades? In related “news”: People readers have spoken and voted that this new couple should be called “TayJay”—with “Swiftenhaal” being the runner-up. [People]

Jakey’s here
In London. He and Anne Hathaway arrived yesterday. Photos are attached. So f-cking cute, both of them.

So on the flight over, I couldn’t sleep, went through every movie, and then finally decided ok, fine, Prince of Persia. Goddamn it’s an awful movie. But goddamn he is irresistible. When he is sly smiling, or flirty smiling, or being a pain in the ass smiling, whatever he’s doing when he is smiling, it becomes all kinds of trouble. I will admit to you there were a couple of times I actually hit rewind, that’s how much trouble.

Which is why I have avoided almost all interviews he’s been doing for Love & Other Drugs. It’s just not productive. It’s dangerously unproductive. I had actually forgotten til this morning, when I decided to open up an interview that Katie sent over because of the reference to Willow Smith. I wanted to go as Willow Smith for Halloween. I couldn’t resist a Jakey + Willow Smith combination.

Big mistake.

First of all Anne is flawless. Then try not to swoon when he tells her, very sincerely, how beautiful she is. And, um, try not to fixate on his perfect nose. And then when the rapid fire round begins...whatever, it’s over. He is too much. You are too much for me Jakey. Woah follow the train of thought. Jake + Too Much reminded me of The Line. Or, more accurately I guess, The Scene.

You are too much for me Ennis, you son of a whoreson bitch...

From Lamey's live blog:

[Comment From El: ] Do you have anything new about Taylor/Jake? And why, as a smart woman, are you not annoyed that he is with a not-dumb-but-naive girl?

Lainey: El - Taylor and Jake are really into each other right now. He just as much as her. As for me being annoyed. Whatever. I mean he's never been a lifetime list candidate. I just want to flirt and have sex with him. Who gives a sh-t?

[Comment From day: ] jacek please, i wanna know about love and other drugs let me through!

Lainey: Day - as I've already noted, there is an embargo on Love & Other Drugs. It hasn't been lifted yet. So your questions are going to have to be specific. Ie. Is Jake hot in it? Yes. Does Anne Hathaway have great breasts? Yes. Did I laugh? Yes. Will it make you horny? yes.

If Source Code sucks too, Jake should seriously consider to quit acting. It must be embarrassing for him to have continuous failures. I remember a reviewer who predicted that Jake will fall off the A-List and never climb back. That was in 2007.

Mmh. UV over at Babblers posted three reviews - one bad (mentioned above), one mixed and one good. I am astonished that the opionions are so different on this one...

Embargo is not unsusal - many films are having it. Although I don´t understand the concept- some reviews are already out.

Critics are not so important for this one - Box Office is.

The Taylor news is a riot. Reese set them up. Really? What they mean is their shared management who set up the Reeke bearding arrangement and now the latest. Plus word that Jake does not want Taylor to see him naked is even funnier coming from a man who talks about how he loves to be and is often naked. Inadvertent confirmation that they slept in separate rooms at that Post Ranch Inn jaunt.

They are not. The movie will receive mixed reviews at best.

There was a pre screening for Source Code, the guy who saw it wasn't allowed to review the movie, but he could have just said it's good or bad, instead he just said that he formed his opinion. Hm.

IA. Swifty has no reason to want to stop, there's no downside for her. As for Jake, you're right - nothing is too low for him :( Sad, really. Plus, what is he going to do when LAOD promo is over? Doesn't look like he's going to start filming a new movie right away. They want his name and pic out there as much as possible to increase his potential for award noms.

Guess Who I Met?!

JAMES FRANCO!!
He was at Inside the Actors Studio where I work.
He talked about:
His life, his brother.
Freaks and Geeks
Didnt like all the stunt work on spider man, it took 3 months to shoot the 5min fight sequence.
How he experienced male prostitution first hand to play the part in Sunny
How he beat out Leo Dicarpio, Brad Pitt, and Johnny Depp for the James Dean movie.
His role in Milk
How he improvised 50% of pineapple express with seth greene. 'It smells like God's Vagina' was all his improv.
He worked on Eat, Pray, and Love, because of Julia Roberts, and he still hasnt seen the movie (he knows it sucks).
Told critics who didnt like his book to fuck off, it's his book and he will write anything he wants in it.
People passing out in 127hours screenings.
All the emotions he shows through that move is genuine
How he's a scholar and getting his PhD at Yale
His favorite curse word: shit burger

James Lipton: What Turns You On?
James Franco: Rabbits

He's soo nice and hilarious, he waited and took pictures with anyone who wanted one.

I don't think Maggie so's different at all. She and Peter have to be directly involved in providing Jake cover and helping him with his lies. Accomplices and facilitators are as guilty as the main participant. The only real difference between her and Jake is he was born gay and felt he had to buy into the Hollywood closet (including fauxmances to up his "women" love me quotient") to continue as a viable actor. Unfortunately, that same Hollywood system is rapidly destroying Jake's reputation, credibility and even his likeability. I never thought I would begin to dislike Jake, but I'm sorry to say this last PR stunt is troubling.

Bitch Back

Dear Ted:
Let's stop with this Twi-hard stuff for a moment and focus on a real hot guy: Daniel Craig! Hottie, definite heartbreaker, but home-wrecker? Have you heard anything about his supposed hookup with Rachel Weisz? I know you said his Blind Vice was sex, sex, sex, but was it perhaps sex, sex, sex recently or past? Sorry for my mature tastes, but I'd much rather imagine sex with James Bond than Edward Cullen. My five shelter kitties and shelter dog would appreciate it!
—Cat

Dear Private Eye:
I'm sorry, your brood would appreciate you having sex with Daniel Craig or finding out if Rachel did? I'm confused. Regardless, hon, if you want to drool over James Bond, you certainly have come to the right place. He's one of the manlier men in this town, which is filled with Toothy Tile's who don't seem to know their penises from their checkbooks. Craig rarely gets the two confused. As for Rachel and Daniel, they're both saying not true, which is a huge shame.


Dear Ted:
Is Jackie Bouffant gay or bi?
—Lawton

Dear Thin Line:
It is tough to distinguish between the two sometimes. Jackie has stepped out on his beard with other girls, but those sloppy makeout sessions seem more for show. I foresee J.B. ending up secretly with a dude à la Toothy Tile, rather than Nevis Divine who will end up with a chick.


Dear Ted:
Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer always seemed like an odd pairing. But was their relationship unique to John? Did he treat her differently than his other conquests? He seems to have a lot of respect for her, at least in the public eye...
—I don't get what she was thinking

Dear Leopard Don't Change It's Spots:
I think Jen was different in the sense that she was one of the more confident and powerful femme's John nailed. Jessica Simpson and Jennifer Love-Hewitt, not so much. Aniston knew what she was getting into and set her own rules. That's probably why it didn't work out between them. That, and Mayer's a skank.


Dear Ted:
Why is Taylor Swift always dating guys that gossip sites love? She's dated/been seen with Joe Jonas, Corey Monteith, Taylor Lautner, John Mayer and now Jake Gyllenhaal. Is she such a fame seeker, or do they pursue her? Is this all only about publicity?
—Laura

Dear Country Darling:
Please, T.Swift doesn't need to seek fame. Her record-breaking voice does that all on its own. The guys, however, each serve different purposes. Like being spotted on bowling dates with Corey, a wholesome Glee guy, right after she was caught making out with John Mayer in Nashville wasn't a coincidence.

Hey, Swifty may not NEED to seek fame, but that doesn't mean she doesn't love the attention and doesn't seek it. She made a big PR event out of her supposedly Good Samaritan act of following some young fan of hers and surprising her. Totally phony famewhore moment. Look at Reese - she's an Oscar winner with no shortage of roles and big name co-stars (Pattinson, Hardy, Pine), but she still can't stop herself from seeking attention.
