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.”

Oh, that is pretty :) Too bad Jake just did the GQ cover before PoP. Now it seems like that was wasted on promo for a mediocre movie that didn't help his career. Plus the cover was so blah.

there was an attraction (as Jake said at the Q & A)

I think Jake and Anne look perfect together but only as friends. In RL they don't match IMO.
And it's not because Jake could be gay or bi.
Curiously, I think Michelle would have been a more likely partner for Jake and Heath and Anne would have been fire as a couple.
That won't happen now ,of course, for various reasons.

Alice Waters' Edible Schoolyard Dines at Craft said...

Alice Waters held her second fundraising dinner for her Edible Schoolyard organization at Craft on Wednesday night, with the help of co-hosts John Lyons, Fernanda Niven, Jonathen Sheffer, Brett Williams and Jake Gyllenhaal. It turns out the actor is a voracious chef: he most recently whipped up a veal stew. "I love to read cookbooks and I subscribe to a lot of cooking magazines. I scour the internet for interesting recipes," said Gyllenhaal, who shops for the local and seasonal.

"There's a [food] co-op at my niece's [Ramona, daughter of Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard] school," he said. "We get a lot of stuff from there."

Michelle is the kind of sweet gal that likes to be both wife and mommy to her guys. And I bet Jake loves those kind of relationships.

Of course, this is just 100% fun speculation and I'm aware this are real people, not fictional characters to analyse thoroughly. But that's what I believe according the impression I have of their personalities, that's all. :)

Latest Oscar predictions: Lead actor

Right now it looks like Colin Firth is far ahead in the Academy Award race for lead actor.

All Oscarologists know that voters are suckers for actors who portray real-life characters (Forest Whittaker in "Last King of Scotland," Philip Seymour Hoffman in "Capote"), especially ones with handicaps (Jamie Foxx in "Ray," Geoffrey Rush in "Shine"). In "The King's Speech," Firth portrays Britain's monarch George VI struggling to overcome a stammer while rallying his countrymen to fight World War II.

Firth has something else going for him — the old Oscar Makeup Rule: If you lose one year, don't worry, you'll win the next. All of these stars (plus many others) won an Academy Award one year after being a losing nominee: Russell Crowe (triumphed for "Gladiator" after losing for "The Insider"), Jack Nicholson (won for "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" after losing for "Chinatown"), Nicole Kidman (won for "The Hours" after losing for "Moulin Rouge!"), etc. Last year Firth lost for "A Single Man."

In addition, "The King's Speech" is a top contender for best picture, possibly even the front-runner to win. Academy voters love to give away an acting Oscar along with best picture (Russell Crowe in "Gladiator," Kevin Spacey in "American Beauty").

But that's also true of James Franco in "127 Hours," which will certainly be nominated for best picture. Arguably, he portrays a handicapped person too, since he chops off his arm while stuck in a canyon, and a real-life one at that (based on the ordeal of hiker Aron Ralston). He benefits a bit from the Oscar Makeup Rule as well, not as a past nominee, but as someone who should've nabbed the supporting slot for "Milk" in 2008, but got snubbed.

There's a third serious contender in this race: Jeff Bridges in the Coen brothers' "True Grit," which probably will be nommed for best picture. It's also a proven vehicle for Oscar glory since John Wayne triumphed in the role in 1969. Having won last year for "Crazy Heart," he wouldn't benefit from the Oscar Makeup Rule, but from the Oscar Bandwagon Effect that earned Tom Hanks ("Philadelphia," "Forrest Gump") and Spencer Tracy ("Captains Courageous," "Boys Town") consecutive victories.

Obama: I believe homosexuality isn't a choice said...

October 14th, 2010

A student asked Obama if he believed homosexuality is a choice. Obama responded he was no expert, then added: "I don't think it's a choice. I think people are born with a certain make-up."

"We're all children of God," Obama said. "We don't make determinations about who we love. That's why I think discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is wrong."

I don't think he was even vaguely attracted to her when they were doing promo for BBM--but then he was involved with Michelle who was about to give birth. But other than that, Anne was definitely NOT his type. He either liked cougars (Watts, Christensen) or girly blonde women (Michelle, Gemma Ward). He had a big attraction to blondes.

The only wild thing Anne has done in life is pick terrible boyfriends.

That's funny someone said that Jake and Michelle would be a good match. A few other people have said that to me recently. They definitely have more in common and are more compatible than she and Heath were.

One of the most respected film festivals in the US, the American Film Institute's AFI Fest announced on Wednesday its eight red carpet gala screenings for the upcoming 24th annual event in Los Angeles, November 4-11.

The opening night selection is the world premiere of Love and Other Drugs, directed by Edward Zwick (Blood Diamond) and starring Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal as mismatched lovers. Black Swan starring Natalie Portman and directed by Darren Aronofsky (The Wrestler) will close the eight-day event.

For the Tribute Selection, Toronto festival winner The King's Speech will honor director Tom Hooper (The Damned United, John Adams) and star Colin Firth as the stuttering King George VI and Geoffrey Rush as the Australian speech therapist. The film will be released in theaters November 26. Firth is considered an early candidate for an Oscar for this role.

The premier film festival attracts film industry players and actors with the American Film Market occuring concurrently in nearby Santa Monica and is attended by 7,000 people from 70 countries. AFI Fest is the only US film festival with a FIAPF (Fédération Internationale des Associations de Producteurs de Films) accreditation.

Many of the films have been recent festival favorites and receive their West Coast debut, such as the Centerpiece Selections:

. Derek Cianfrance's Blue Valentine starring Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams
. Richard J. Lewis' Barney's Version, a witty tale starring Dustin Hoffman and Paul Giamatti
. Diego Luna's Abel, a fable of a disturbed child that is Luna's directorial debut
. George Hickenlooper's Casino Jack starring Kevin Spacey
. John Wells's The Company Men starring Tommy Lee Jones and Ben Affleck

I also think they would...if we knew for sure that Jake was straight (or at least really into gals too) and if he wasn't her daughter's godfather. 2 very good reasons why they would be very wrong together.

I hope they each find people who are appropriate for them.

Amazing Family Embraces 'Princess Boy' said...

With horrific incidents like THIS making headlines, it's heartening to know that there are families who do the right thing for kids who experiment with gender roles at a young age.

The Kilodavis family has welcomed their son Dyson's desire to dress like a princess with open arms, celebrating it in fact with a children's book authored by his mother Cheryl Kilodavis. Dyson's school now uses the book as an anti-bullying tool.

Watch Seattle King5's great report on the book and the family...

The problem, of course, is at school and at stores. When Dyson goes shopping with his mom, people often laugh when he likes dresses and pink heels. Before Halloween, Dyson's teacher called everyone in the school and informed them all that Dyson would be a Princess Boy. Some of the most "macho" employees at school dressed as ballet dancers, in a show of support for Dyson.

Posted on Friday, October 15th, 2010

As the Chef opened the door to one of my favorite pizzaria’s in Brooklyn (Franny’s) I noticed the man behind me. He was well dressed, tall, and sporting a beard like the Chef. We all walked into Franny’s together and I soon realized that the well dressed man who had walked in with our group was in fact, Jake Gyllenhaal. He was accompanied by Anne Hathaway and soon both of our groups would be stuffing our faces with delicious pizza and Lambrusco next to one another.

This post isn’t about Jake Gyllenhaal though, nor is it about a celebrity sighting. I am a terrible terrible celebrity stalker. iphones take shitty pictures in the dark and even if they didn’t I wouldn’t feel comfortable trying to take a pic of a total stranger. Too invasive for the likes of me. Unless of course it was Ewan McGregor…mmmmmm…..Ewan.

Blind Vice: Judas Jack-Off Goes Hetero Overload!

Well, screw us with no lube, Judas Jack-Off sure has gotten more ballsy, lately! And we mean that in many dirty ways, trust.

Now, last time we checked in on poor ol' closeted Judas, he was pathetically trying to cultivate a domestic-front for the media, engaging in various exciting pastimes with his ersatz honey.

Didn't work.

In fact, Judas and his woman's shared-outing thing so colossally misfired (and Judas never got the desired press he really wanted from it), Judas has now taken to the exceptionally seedy activity of....

Cheating on his fake (female) significant other!

And not with the poor, put-upon, on/off boyfriend, Dash Dingle-Dream he usually cheats with, but, with...other women!

Frequent visitors to the place Judas and Dash most often occupy complain of seeing Judas "always" hauling in some random chick to his bedroom. "Looks pretty obvious to me what's going on," snipped a babe who's been over to the boys' hang-pad recently. "I mean, come on."

This is just beyond gross. It's bad enough Judas has tortured Dash enough with the People-mag arranged chick in his life, but, now he's got to tag on one-night stands—just in case the press finds out the real deal, that he prefers guys?

Sorry, but, this one's getting beyond anything even Shafterella Shoshstein would ever dream up for the rags! And that's saying something.

Get help, Jude. And fast. You are not well.

Loody: Yeah I saw “Love and Other Drugs” at a preview screening about a month ago. It was an okay film, nothing to write home about, though much of its appeal is due to the likability of the two leads and their chemistry. Still this is not an Oscar contender – even with the praise Hathaway has received. It may very well prove to be a solid hit though.


Doc: I saw it at a free screening recently. Sorry, but the film’s exploration of the pursuits of these drug companies is peripheral at best. It’s decidedly a boilerplate, cliche-ridden romantic dramedy. Gyllenhaal has never been more charming and whoa do he and Hathaway spend a lot of the movie naked, but I have a hard time believing the film is going to be nominated for any Oscars.

'Locker' pair's project key to skeds said...

While a handful of high-profile actors being interested in the same movie is nothing new, what is becoming more apparent is the effect certain casting decisions are having on other upcoming projects.

After "The Hurt Locker," it's not surprising that actors want to work with Kathryn Bigelow and Mark Boal on their next project, but even for jaded Hollywood, the roster of actors they've been meeting with is impressive. Will Smith, Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Penn, Christian Bale, Javier Bardem and Jake Gyllenhaal have either asked Bigelow and Boal for a look at the script or taken meetings to discuss the film.

That's in addition to Tom Hanks and Johnny Depp, who are also interested in the project, "Triple Frontier." Since there are four lead roles, there could be various powerhouse combinations. And since many of these thesps are planning other films, the casting could create a ripple effect on a platoon of projects.

But don't hit the panic button yet. As one agent reminds, "It's such a fragile business right now that until you are on a set and shooting, nothing is real."

Depp is attached to "Dark Shadows" and "The Lone Ranger"; Damon is onboard for "We Bought a Zoo" and a Robert Kennedy biopic; and there are a slew of films on DiCaprio's plate, including "Hoover," with Clint Eastwood set to helm.

"Decisions like these can completely flip the city upside down," one rep said. "It's not just because these actors are among the few who can greenlight certain films -- it's also because any actor might be willing to pull out of a movie for the chance to work with Johnny Depp and Tom Hanks in the same film."

On the other hand, that casting is hardly set in stone. "Triple Frontier" is set in the border zone of Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil where the Iguazu and Parana rivers converge, a haven for organized crime. Paramount is distribbing.

Other films currently casting could similarly cause ripple effects. Alfonso Cuaron's search to find the femme lead for 3D space pic "Gravity" had a number of names circling the role including Natalie Portman and Angelina Jolie. The part was eventually offered to Sandra Bullock, who is in talks, but the uncertainty threatened to cause more upheavals.

And Tom Hardy, whose star has been rising after perfs in "Bronson" and "Inception," may reteam with Christopher Nolan in the untitled Batman movie. While a Batman role may be hard to turn down, Hardy was set to play Mad Max in "Mad Max: Fury Road," which will now be pushed back until Hardy's schedule has freed up.

John Travolta v. Gavin Rossdale: Battle Of The Gay Sex Tabloid Stories said...

With Gavin Rossdale owning up to his 1980s same-sex affair with cross-dressing singer Marilyn, it sort of takes the heat out of In Touch's story about their romance, where a 16-year-old Gavin supposedly pursued the popular club singer (real name Peter Robinson). But that only means there's more room this week to speculate about John Travolta's on-going "secret gay spa subculture" sex romps!

As Boy Culture notes, the image of Travolta stripping down is actually a scene from the movie Wild Hogs, although the Enquirer says there is video of John receiving some oral pleasure from another dude. Some 50 guys have supposedly reached out to Robert Randolph, author of You’ll Never Spa In This Town Again, to relay their steams with the Old Dogs star.

What happened to the good old days of Hollywood, where famous leading men could get their homosexual rocks off and not read about it at Hudson News?

X17 EXCLUSIVE - Christina Aguilera On The Rebound With Lindsay Lohan's Ex Samantha Ronson

A source very close to both Christina Aguilera and Samantha Ronson tells X17online exclusively that the singer and the DJ are taking their friendship to the next level.

Ever since Samantha went to Cabo with Xtina, "the two have been inseparable," says our source. "I've seen them hanging out together. Christina Aguilera really lets down her guard around Sam. They're very comfortable with each other."

The pop star was even seen leaving Sam's place late at night earlier this week AND she stopped by The Roxy on Sunday to see her new favorite DJ spin.

In June of this year, Xtina herself even told Company Magazine that she is "attracted to women." The singer also said the following to Out Magazine in May: "My husband knows that I get into girls. I think it’s fun to be open and play."

Is it a coincidence that Aguilera suddenly split from Jordan Bratman so soon after her Cabo trip (where she got even closer to Samantha)?

X17 EXCLUSIVE - Christina Aguilera On The Rebound With Lindsay Lohan's Ex Samantha Ronson

More:

“I was at The Abbey one night when Christina’s bodyguard approached me,” a woman who wishes to remain anonymous told RadarOnline.com.

“He said, ‘My boss would really like you’ and pointed over to Christina.” The source said Christina waved to her, but that she was confused because her husband Jordan was at the bar with her.

“The bodyguard told me it was an understanding within their marriage and that she brings girls home and Jordan’s okay with it,” the woman said.

“I met Christina in the bathroom and she told me she liked to play with girls. “I ended up not pursuing anything with it because the situation just seemed so weird to me, but Christina was definitely looking to hook up.”

According to the source, Christina has been known to frequently approach women while out at gay bars in Los Angeles. “It’s funny because I had a couple girlfriends tell me that they were approached by Christina too,” the source said.

DL gossip said...

After the buzz had died down from her first album and before the second album came out Christina was out in WeHo going to gay nights for women at various clubs and she also liked to go to the bars that had open mike night for singers. I had a friend that was a singer and used to see her there always only women. Another friend used to see her out at the gay clubs in WeHo. In NYC she used to go to Scores and other strip clubs. In the early stages of publicity before the second album came out Christina was talking about going to the strip clubs herself. She was starting to be very vocal about her sexuality and attraction for women. But after her first single form the second album came out and Dirrty flopped her people ran scared and shut her down on being open and out and in came the guy.

In June of this year, Xtina herself even told Company Magazine that she is "attracted to women." The singer also said the following to Out Magazine in May: "My husband knows that I get into girls. I think it’s fun to be open and play."

Yet another case of pretty celebrity women stating they have a sexual attraction to women as well as men and society having a ho-hum attitude about it. I guess it's chic when you are an attractive female? Be assured that Xtina will continue to deal with men if this is true. Trust.

And still men can only be straight or gay. This attitude is pushed by society and even most Gay men.
It's a double standard and really stupid. It's also the main reason celebrity men, let alone the average non celeb guy won't even speak on the matter.
Then most male celebs who do this and hide it from the public (dl) get thrown under the bus by gay gossip columnist (Ted, Perez, Michael K).

Still, the women are not called gay and they need to just come out of the closet.

I’ve seen the film too and like others, I agree that there is no way this is an Oscar contender. Also, I didn’t think Anne’s character was likable or easy to relate to. She was just rather annoying. It’s Jakes movie though. Love & Other Drugs is as much about Hathaway as Up In the Air was about Farmiga. IMO, Hank Azaria is the best thing about the entire film.

I also don’t think this film will make much money. Most of the people in my screening’s reactions were pretty lukewarm saying “It was fine, I’m glad I didn’t pay for it though”

There is no double standard - only very small number of bisexual people and a lot of gay people lying about being bisexual.

I didn't find a lot of proof that Hoover cross-dressed. I think it was more a form of homophobia against him. Do I think J. Edgar Hoover was gay? Yes. Do I think he cross-dressed? No. I think that was just one of the ways people tried to bash him because they probably had the sense that he was gay. Did he ever put on a dress? Hell, I put on my mom's undergarments when I was a kid. I didn't find much credible evidence that Hoover went out socially dressed up in women's clothes. But a script is 90 percent research about the person, and then so much about yourself ends up being in there, too. Anyone who says a movie about history is a historical document is crazy. It's a document that incorporates who that person was and who I am now.

Cheyenne Jackson and his partner of 10 years, Monte Lapka, secretly became domestic partners in NYC over the summer: "We wanted to get as married as we could. I think we were filling in some forms for wills or insurance, and I just thought, Let's just make this as legal as we can."

Cheyenne Jackson, who plays Vocal Adrenaline coach Dustin Goolsby on 'Glee' and is also on '30 Rock,' told Out, "We wanted to get as married as we could. I think we were filling in some forms for wills or insurance, and I just thought, Let's just make this as legal as we can. It was with a bunch of Russian mail-order brides, literally. And it was hilarious and it was romantic, just he and me, our little secret."

Seems not only some Babblers didn't really like LAOD, some OMGers who saw it at a pre screening didn't like it that much either. I'm not so confident the movie will do so well, it doesn't seem to be that much of a crowd pleaser. I wondered why the movie was rejected by the big festivals and now it's clear, because it's simply not that good.
That said, I'll see it anyway. :)

Later, Franco took in “Blue Valentine” to see a great performance by his peer, Ryan Gosling. They may each be in the running for Best Actor this year against Colin Firth. Franco was impressed.

Q: The movie is about destiny. Do you believe in destiny?

JG: As I get a little older I definitely believe in destiny. When I was younger I didn’t really have enough life under my belt to have an appreciation of the past as I do now. From the ability to look at the experiences of my past came the belief that we all must have some kind of destiny. But do we have any say in it? Who knows?

BTW, Sophia and Austin didn't have to film on Friday according to the OTH forum. If they have to film on Minday it makes no sense for him to bother to fly to L.A. for the wekend when he could have easily flew to NY on Friday.

I think the tweeter was being cheeky, he obviously knew sophia's name.

I assume they were squealing at the them and he was wondering if this supposed to be a big deal, that's why he used a ? mark.

I was trying to point out is how OMG is going to spin the fact that Austin didn't have to film on Friday yet he chose to hang out with Sophia in NC "making out" and playing pool. I mean schouldn't he have flown to L.A. to see his kids why Jake was busy in NY???

Jake's 30, how much appreciation of the past can he have? Coming from someone with a rough life or though experiences this would make more sense than from Jake who has had and continues to have a very blessed life. I guess he's going for wise with this answer.

Anonymous said...

11:32 I think the Jaustinloon is implying that Austin is somewhere at LAX in those pics hiding!

LOL!! Why didn't he just go home to L.A. on Friday, he wasn't working.

Or are they implying he flew to NY Friday evening to NY and left NY saturday with Jake which makes no sense since he would have went straight to L.A.

They also probably think those Austin and Sophia tweets from Friday are fake.

They will twist anything to make them to appear in the same state!

If you believe every tweet you read, then you are the loon. If there is a baby (which I have no idea if there is one), and Jake and Austin are still together (which that photo from Leadville proves), then of course their people are covering for them. Jake appears somewhere and we often have no airport photos. Yet, when he wants us to see him arriving or leaving somewhere, here come the pics. That alone tells me there is a lot of manipulation going on.

1. That man with Jake wasn't Austin, that is easy to see (not tall enough, different hair, different ears)
2. How would a photo of Jake and Austin prove they are together? Those gym photos with Sophia prove they are together, too?

Anonymous said...

I'm not sure now about the Leadville photo either - I don't think the guy is tall enough to be Austin. It does look like him around the face and hairline, but I had forgotten about how tall Austin is, and lankier, than the guy in the photo.

What happened to Jake's ability to choose good scripts? I was hoping LAOD would be a gem, but all signs point to mediocre. Another disappointment is Duncan's bad mouting Source Code. And he's the director. Very disappointing.
