Q: Doctor Parnassus, where have you been?
Doctor Parnassus: Oh crumpet, I’ve been toiling in the vineyards of the bored. I was about to take a bath. You’ve caught me nudo rigido.
Q: Excusi! Doc, I know our sessions are meant to be about Jake, but I can’t seem to forget Heath.
Doctor Parnassus: Ah, the Romeo and Juliet of our time. Earth and air, yin and yang, 6 and 9. Despite their uncoupling by Mr Gyllenhaal, the cosmic duality endures, my sad friend. Each exists most fully in relationship to the other, revealing psychological context through patterns generated by their perpetual interplay. We must accept the paradox: opposite things can be simultaneously true.
Q: They are opposites?
Doctor Parnassus: As an expert in metaphysico-theologico-cosmolonigology, I can authoritatively say, chalk and cheese, my dumpling.
Q: Is this why Jake has abandoned Heath?
Doctor Parnassus: Sweet pea, don’t be bitter. It takes loose reins to keep love tight! Cold is hot. Silence speaks.
Q: We’ve been over this ground many times before. William Shakespeare wrote, they do not love that do not show their love.
Doctor Parnassus: Well-quoted, little cabbage. But as genius actor Mr Danny Day-Lewis said about Mr Ledger (and it takes one to know one), “we wanted to follow him and yet we were afraid to follow him. He was perfect.” Argumentum ad Populum. My darling bachelor neighbor, Georgie Clooney, eloquently explained the stature of Mr Day-Lewis: "all actors bow to this f**ker." Ergo, with Mr Ledger placed in the pantheon by the Zeus thespian himself — well, who dare speak after God has spoken? Mr Ledger left his actorian fellows in awe of his virtuosity. Mr Gyllenhaal, bless his heart, left his fellows in lust. Dilemma of position.
Q: There’s no evidence that Jake even liked Heath.
Doctor Parnassus: As I said before, and I never repeat myself, you don’t see the air, yet we still breathe. Man is not an aquatic animal, yet we still swim. Of course, all generalizations are false.
Q: Doc, it’s hard to believe what you say has any basis in reality.
Doctor Parnassus: Darling infidel! Primo, reality is vastly overrated. Secondo, what we gain by truth is not worth that we lose in illusion. Terzo, if you wanted veracity, sugarbritches, you wouldn’t be here with me.
Q: Can we just talk about sex?
Doctor Parnassus: My clinical speculatum! I practice a lot on my own. The brain is really my second favorite organ. You know, the Archimedes’ principle supports the theory that a man immersed in the liquid of male love experiences an upward thrust equal to the weight of women he displaces.
Q: Must we be cryptic? You’re saying gay love can boost a career?
Doctor Parnassus: Mr Gyllenhaal once had a large gay following, but Jake ducked into a Roman alleyway and lost him.
Q: Now really —
Doctor Parnassus: Mr Moto says, man with hand in pocket feel cocky all day!
Q: Jake needs to be more…cocky?
Doctor Parnassus: Well, he chased a girl for two years only to discover that her tastes were exactly like his: they were both mad about boys.
Q: Who isn't?
Doctor Parnassus: When heterosexuals warn you of the sinfulness of sex, there is an important lesson to be learned! Do not have sex with heterosexuals.
Q: Good night, Doctor P.
Doctor Parnassus: Sex is better than logic, but I can't prove it.

“Nailed” is back in production this week in Columbia after its third work union stoppage in a month, but the movie’s producer is facing lawsuits for unpaid bills and loans, a trade publication is reporting.
David Bergstein, who heads “Nailed” backer Capitol Films, has been sued by advertising promoter Allied Advertising for $4.2 million in unpaid bills, Variety reported. This month, businessman Alexander Sandel filed suit against Bergstein and five affiliated production entities over loans totaling more than $4.5 million, Variety reported. Bergstein did not respond to Variety’s request for comment. Bergstein is expected to close a bridge financing deal soon, the publication reported.
The comedy “Nailed,” starring Jessica Biel and Jake Gyllenhaal, started shooting in mid-April around Columbia. Shooting is scheduled to end in mid-June. The International Alliance of Theatrical & Stage Employees ordered its members last week to not show up at the set after not being paid. The same union also stopped production a couple of weeks ago after not being paid.
The Screen Actors Guild had ordered its members to walk off the film set early this month because producers failed to deposit enough money in accounts to pay actors. Forty-six checks for the “Nailed” production bounced due to insufficient funds, according to the film’s bankers quoted by Variety.

How can Dr. P. know any of this? How can he know how Jake felt about Heath?
Most important question, who is he anyway?

Heath Ledger's legacy to live on in scholarship
Heath Ledger was known for helping out young Australian actors hoping to make it big in Hollywood. He'd offer them a couch to sleep on in his Hollywood Hills home or advice over a beer. Ledger's helping hand will continue, despite the 28-year-old's shock death in January in Manhattan from an accidental prescription drug overdose.
Hollywood-based organisation, Australians in Film (AIF), along with Ledger's family, have created a scholarship. The Heath Ledger Scholarship Fund will be presented annually to a young Australian-based actor to help them pursue their dream in Hollywood.
"Los Angeles is a tough place to break through and can be daunting for young Aussies," AIF president Susie Dobson said. "Heath was always ready to help out young Aussies and his family is extremely happy that this scholarship will continue do so in his name."
AIF, a seven-year-old organisation for expatriate Australians in the US entertainment industry, boasts Cate Blanchett, Nicole Kidman, Russell Crowe, Geoffrey Rush and Mel Gibson among its 30 ambassadors. The first scholarship recipient will be announced in 2009.
Its financial worth is still to be finalised, but Dobson said it could help the actor pay for acting classes, rent or other significant costs. AIF also honours young Australian actors each year at its annual Breakthrough Awards ceremony in Beverly Hills. Australian actresses Abbie Cornish, 25, and Mia Wasikowska, 17, will be honoured at this year's ceremony on June 5.
Cornish was first recognised in the US for her award-winning role in the 2004 independent Australian film, Somersault, and has gone on to star in Elizabeth: the Golden Age, with Cate Blanchett; the Iraq war drama Stop Loss, opposite Ryan Philippe; and will soon be seen in Jane Campion's new film, Bright Star.

I wonder if Ryan will be going to that dinner. Congrats to Abbie and Mia (love that name).
Abbie Cornish - they forgot to mention Candy.
Lorenzo Odone, Subject of Lorenzo's Oil
The man whose parents' battle to save him from a nerve disease was depicted in the movie 'Lorenzo's Oil' died Friday at his home in Virginia, having lived more than 20 years longer than doctors had predicted. Lorenzo Odone, who doctors had predicted would die in childhood, died one day after his 30th birthday, said his father, Augusto Odone. Lorenzo Odone had come down with aspiration pneumonia recently after getting food stuck in his lungs, his father said. He began bleeding heavily, and before an ambulance reached their home his son was dead, Odone said. 'He could not see or communicate, but he was still with us,' Odone said Friday. 'He did not suffer. That's the important thing.'"

Silence speaks.
It does, the question is what is it saying. I wish Dr. P would come back and explain a few things better.
I've not commented here in a long time, but had to say I love seeing today's words by DR P. I wish he would stop by and give us an update. But, today's reprint was great. Thanks.
Hi 1:37 PM!
Don't be a stranger :)
In the German OK magazine, they write how difficult the seperation will be for Jake and Reese when Jake goes to Marocco to shoot PoP.
Just today I was reading through gossip magazines and Reeke was featured in a few. They both look like they think they are so important when you see pictures of them together.
Oh and in the German InStyle magazine they had a photo of Jake and his Godmother Jamie Lee Curtis and an old quote by Jake when he said how important his Godparents are to him.
Hopefully he'll take his Godfather duty more seriously in the future. Now it seems he doesn't. He probably doesn't have time because of Reeke.
Hopefully he'll take his Godfather duty more seriously in the future.
I hope so.
...they write how difficult the seperation will be for Jake and Reese when Jake goes to Marocco to shoot PoP.
No one misses a pain in the ass.
Hopefully he'll take his Godfather duty more seriously in the future.
I honestly don't think so. :(
Heath was one of seven godparents of Elizabeth Hurley's son Damien.
Heath was one of seven godparents of Elizabeth Hurley's son Damien.
7? Wow! Never heard of it though! I know Hugh Grand is his godfather for sure. Saw a pic of them (Hugh and Damian) some time ago out and about.
They both look like they think they are so important when you see pictures of them together.
Gah, if this is all true, what a colossal disappointment. I never, ever, thought he would be like this, disregarding everything. Help! He definitely needs some kind of invervention from the Cult of Reese-onality. Well, if she's doing backflips, I guess she ain't pregnant. Which is it?
To put it mildly - she doesn't look fit enough to do backflips. lol
I hope so.
I hope so too, but I think her other godparent, Busy Philipps, is involved in her life. :)
I'm sure Michelle and Matilda have a lot of support and love.
Saw a pic of them (Hugh and Damian) some time ago out and about.
Awww...
After turning away from anything related to Heath I doubt he would, at some point. be involved in that little girl's life. He seems to me extremely self-involved.
anything = everything
If we are going to believe that Jake is only what we are allowed to see then Jake isn't involved in Ramona's life either.
Posted on OMG
Another interesting thing I found about PoP.
The script is written by Jordan Mechner, the creator of the game and The Day After Tomorrow screenplay writer Jeffrey Nachmanoff.
If we are going to believe that Jake is only what we are allowed to see then Jake isn't involved in Ramona's life either.
Well, they'll probably have a family get together when Maggie and Peter marry this sommer on MV. That's what "tr" from OMG said (who was right about the two OK articles about Reeke). We will see!
Give me a break, Jake still has a life.
Jake didn't abandon his family and doesn't need to wait for special occasions to spend time with his sister and the rest of the family.
But isn't it funny that before he got with Reese there were many more pics of him with family and friends than nowadays?
4:58 PM
You do understand that paparazzi pictures show just the small part of Jake's or any other celebritie's life? Right?
5:30 PM
It's intentional. PR is selling Jake only as part of Reeke.
It's intentional. PR is selling Jake only as part of Reeke.
Either that or he's in love and wants to spend every free minute with her. I know what most here believe is true. ;)
You do understand that paparazzi pictures show just the small part of Jake's or any other celebritie's life? Right?
LOL, yes I do! But I still feel that he had more contact with fam and friends before Reese. Of course I might be wrong.
Bullshit.
You got to see just the small segment of their free time.
5:46, right and I guess all of the sightings and reports of them together are bogus?
But I still feel that he had more contact with fam and friends before Reese.
You are buying PR and tabloid crap. OK, fine.
But please don't try to sell it here, we have heard it 1000 times before.
5:50, not trying to sell anything just stating my opinion. I didn't claim it's the truth!
5:46, right and I guess all of the sightings and reports of them together are bogus?
Some of blog sightings are bogus for sure. The rest - impossible to be sure if there are no pictures but yes, some sightings are true.

But your feeling and opinion is obviously based on paparazzi pictures and Reeke reports.

Agreed!
All those pics of Jake and family and friends were nothing but photo ops. Yes it went on for years, Kiki, family,etc, but it was intentional. Now that he has soured on it for the most part, he is selective in alerting the pas now.
Didn't Cantara conirm that on her blog? The family photo ops at least.

Really? Honestly, I can't believe this!
I wouldn't believe Cantara if she told me the sun sets in the West. lol
Who is Cantara?
Cantara may be a flake, but sometimes a bit of truth comes out: hinting at breakup of his parents (true, and I think she had a hand in it) and her comment about the family photo ops, she made that comment when she said that the parents were living seperate lives except for the photo ops.
And you are nothing but a bunch of silly fangirls if you don't think that a lot of Jake's pap photos weren't arranged, give me a break.
Cantara is Stephen Gyllenhaal's book agent and GF, she also has a big mouth.

Oh!
Cantara is Stephen's publisher (Cantarabooks).
Cantara is Stephen Gyllenhaal's book agent and ex-porn actress.
Jake seems really concerned about his image, if it's true that he also arranged photo ops with family and friends, even before Reeke.
I think he doesn't need all that. He's a solid enough actor and in later years he'd become even bigger. But he seems to want it all now, fame and fortune. Hence PoP.
And you are nothing but a bunch of silly fangirls if you don't think that a lot of Jake's pap photos weren't arranged, give me a break.
I have to agree.
There's just no way he changed his habits so drastically overnight no matter how big a bitch Reese is and how big a tyrant Evelyn& co are. He can’t go from honest and uninterested in publicity to a huge fake fame whore just like that. Puh-leeze!
I wouldn't believe Cantara if she told me the sun sets in the West. lol
Me either. I think she'd like to have a hand it it, but it ain't gonna happen. LOL
And Cantara also used to have a vendetta against WFT, for reasons unknown. That's why we have the misfortune of knowing who she is.
Reasons unknown? Not because "Jake is gay" thing?
"And Cantara also used to have a vendetta against WFT, for reasons unknown. That's why we have the misfortune of knowing who she is."
What vendetta? How does she know about WFT? I figured not many know about this blog!
"Reasons unknown? Not because "Jake is gay" thing?"
I thought his family was so open-minded and pro gay?
You'd think they wouldn't care about the rumors.
by 6:43 PM!
This would have been WFT 1, but she harassed Dany and WFT by posting WFT threads on Cantara's blog, and name calling, and who could forget her immortal words, "flabbly and sinster"? Yes, probably to squelch our interest in "the rumors".
Well, just like I thought - Cantara is a stupid bitch.
Daddy running away with an asian porn actress?!
I hate hollywood.
So, if she's being totally unprofessional by starting her own rumors about the G family and posting them on a public blog, one of whom is her client, and professing undying love and lust for him, more likely to capitalize on them and bring interest to her company, I'd take it with a huge grain of salt.
LOL 7:04 PM
As Ennis would say: "Sounds like high class entertainment if you ask me."
Don't forget she called WFT sinister, which is worse than flabby. JustJared was one of the others, along with Dave Cullen, but she went on to praise those sites, and WFT was still flabby and sinister. ;)
JustJared? What JustJared has to do with Jake's fandom?
At the time, they were writing about the rumors too, I think.
I see, thanks.
No, cantara at the time called justjared flabby because there were pics of a very pregnant maggie being harrassed by paps she said, at the time she said that she was shocked at the invasion of privacy. what a joke, she posts stuff about the family on her blog when it suits her.
This was the latter part of '06 when blogs like jared cooled down on TT Jj just stopped period, he was the one that ID'd Greta Caruso I believe, how he found out her name and where she graduated from was a head scratcher.
Didn't Cantara informed IHJ and Jake Watch about Ramona's birth? Or even posted it on the Internet?
Yes, and she caught hell for it. Stephen forgave herfor spilling the beans to Jake fans's but he ripped some of the fans a new asshole during one of his book reading in NY, blaming ALL of Jake's sites for invading Jake's, Maggie and Peter and even his friend Chris' privacy.
^^Well, I guess that is fair, instead of blaming everthing just shy of global warming on WFT, as had been done.
There's just no way he changed his habits so drastically overnight no matter how big a bitch Reese is and how big a tyrant Evelyn& co are. He can’t go from honest and uninterested in publicity to a huge fake fame whore just like that. Puh-leeze!
ITA. Reese can't be blamed for everything, no matter how much some fans want to. Jake's a big boy.
"TA. Reese can't be blamed for everything, no matter how much some fans want to. Jake's a big boy."
Absolutely. The faxumance is for Jake's benefit too. And Jake is to blame as much as Reese. To think that Reese is dominating Jake and that Jake is a reluctant participant is ridiculous. His photo ops started from the Kiki days.... What is annoying about these photo ops is that Reese comes across as a real bitch. Not that she isn't!
4:34 AM
Yes, but some fans like to put it all on Reese - Jake is just Reese's and Evelyn's innocent victim. LMAO Can you say delusional?
I think that Reese is dominating Jake and that Jake is a reluctant participant is ridiculous.
Remember Toronto and Rome promotions, hands in pockets and Jake doing his best to ignore the bitch? That's the reason I thought Jake was a reluctant and/or embarrassed participant.
Posted on OMG, from DL:
Billy Crystal: "I thought Jake Gyllenhaal was gay."
In this week's Entertainment Weekly (June 6th), Billy Crystal shares a story about Jake during the filming of "City Slickers."
"'He was always performing,' remembers Crystal. 'He would sing from South Pacific and we'd all go, 'He's gay, he's going to be gay.'"
(It's on page 105.)
"That's the reason I thought Jake was a reluctant and/or embarrassed participant."
Yes, 6.15 it seemed like that at the time but not after Rome. Now he's 100% in it. Last year I think it was to sell Rendition, now it's to sell PoP... it will never stop. If he breaks up with Reese, there'll be another beard to take her place. Why give up a strategy that has proved successful in HW?
Now he's 100% in it.
Any ideas why he wasn't 100% in it from the very beginning?
"Any ideas why he wasn't 100% in it from the very beginning?"
IMO, after the success of BBM Jake has played both sides of the fence - fanswise. He played to his gay fans but always indirectly bearded with Greta, Natalie and a host of others. After the failure of Zodiac & Rendition, he probably thought the gay rumors had got out of hand and the gay fans (he was thought of as a gay icon after BBM) alone certainly didn't help his films become BO hits. So he dumped his gay fans, became straighter than straight & guess what, he got PoP!
6:27 am, he may be 100% in it, but their body language has become more uncomfortable. The Rome pics and Napa pics they each had an arm around each other and looked slightly awkward. The last couple of weeks, they look awkard holding hands. The pics outside the restaurant where he's semi hugging her are the most awkward I've ever seen.

I absolutely agree! It's funny that not more people noticed that!
Because people don't care.
Only fans and those who understand and care how Hollywood PR works question things and form their own opinion.
6:15: That was an act, she was doing it as well, they both were ala Brangelina during promo during Mr and Mrs Smith, hands in pocket, not looking at each other, there were pictures comparing them posted at at the time.
It was all planned.
No, Reese didn't do it as well, at least not to that extend.
During Rome promotion:
JG: Funny, isn’t it? Reese and I have known each other for a very long time, we’re friends, then we do this movie and everybody thinks we’re dating.
SF: Are you trying to make me believe that you are only friends?
JG: (He lifts his eyes, blushes before answering with a lie) “yes”.
He's a little lier!
I don't think their body language has become more uncomfortable, I think it always looked uncomfortable. But there are photo ops every few days/weekends and I certainly don't see Jake refusing to do his share.
During Rome promotion...
Jake was telling the truth. The question is why did he say that for the record when Rome "paparazzi" pictures were planned or already done?
Jake was telling the truth. The question is why did he say that for the record when Rome "paparazzi" pictures were planned or already done?
Are we really sure the Rome pics were staged?
"Jake was telling the truth."
?? he was? I'm lost. Can you please expalin. They are "friends" today, "lovers" the next? Whew! that was fast!
"Are we really sure the Rome pics were staged?"
Yes, they were staged. Please don't start that again!
?? he was? I'm lost. Can you please expalin.
I think he didn't want to lie on the record. Jake said the truth - "we’re friends".
He was embarrassed because the interviewer will find out about Reeke pictures few days later.
But what's the point in saying "we're friends" because he doesn't want to lie and doing Reeke later? because then, he becomes a liar anyway.
The point - he's telling the truth for the record.
Jake is a spoiled, confused, diva. NPH he certainly ain't!
The truth for the record?! What's the worth in that? Isn't a persons actions way more important than any "record"?
Similar example: George Clooney: "No. I'm gay, gay. The third gay -- that was pushing it."
George didn't say "I'm not gay" so he didn't lie. He was joking but the message behind it was "I'm not gay". Way to go, George!
Isn't a persons actions way more important than any "record"?
Being in the closet and bearding always equals lying at some point.
Yeah, but George didn't go holding hands with a guy the next day. Doing the opposite of what he said.
Sorry, that scenario was quite different.
1st 8.40. True.
Sorry, that scenario was quite different.
It's not about the same scenario, it's about avoiding telling lies (when possible).
Sorry, 8.46 but I just don't understand... why avoid telling a lie when you are going to act the lie? What do you gain by that?
It's one thing to talk to someone and lie to his/her face, and something else when you pretend for the faceless people out there and let them believe the lie. (I often blush when I lie too).
8:52 am, it's probably because what ever you say in print stays there forever and can come back to bite you in the ass. Jake said "yes" to being friends, he's telling the truth. He never said specifically, "No we're not dating" and neither one has come out and said they were dating, so when they break up, they can both say, "We never confirmed we were together romantically". It's really splitting hairs.
I really don't understand how some people can think that Reeke wasn't planned months before Rome. Remember the March'07 planted rumors, bs sightings, the summer car pics, the MV rumors, the assistant lookalike trick? Everything was carefully orchestrated for the fauxmance to be revealed to the public in October. It’s so obvious this was planned way before the Rendition promotion.
Anyone have a link to the interview (I don't remember in which magazine, something from UK I think) in which Jake says that BBM worked better because he and Heath are both straight actors or something like that? Thanks.
the MV rumors
There is photographic evidence they both were on MV!
ITA, much of '07 was spent reading these rumours of them being together and then days after her divorce was finalized, we got Rome. It's funny that, for a couple that's supposedly so private, they dated for almost a year and no paps ever got their pics, just rumoured blog sightings, but now, we get pap pics every time they go out. Did they forget how to be stealthy all of a sudden?
There is photographic evidence they both were on MV!
Big deal.
I forgot to mention the interview was around September last year.
Anyone have a link to the interview (I don't remember in which magazine, something from UK I think)...
Telegraph, UK, "He is single at the moment" interview:
Jake Gyllenhaal: 'Aggression is a part of me'
Sorry, 8.46 but I just don't understand... why avoid telling a lie when you are going to act the lie? What do you gain by that?
Because in speaking you make a conscious decision and effort to actively tell something, whereas just going along with a "scenario" or lying by omission is passive. A lot of people are very uncomfortable actually speaking something they know is not true, so you get all of the descriptions "shifty eyes" or "fidgety" "can't look you in the eye" and "blushing", unless the person is a pathological liar.
Actions may speak louder than words on a lot of occasions, but that doesn't mean words are never necessary.
9:20 Thanks for the link.
'It was meant as a way of saying it was important for Heath [Ledger, his co-star in Brokeback Mountain] and I to have the movie exist as the movie, but also to have people know it was two straight actors playing those parts.'
Is it me or does this sound really really stupid? Why would it matter if the actors were straight/gay/bi, would they be any less convincing?
After reading this interview in September I knew he won't ever come out cause someone who wants out of the closed doesn't say stuff like he said in it, I still hoped he won't beard though, silly me.
Telegraph, UK, interview:
OK, having established that he is not bisexual, was he being quite calculating when he allowed people to think he was? 'It was meant as a way of saying it was important for Heath [Ledger, his co-star in Brokeback Mountain] and I to have the movie exist as the movie, but also to have people know it was two straight actors playing those parts.'
I think I follow. The chemistry and tension wouldn't have worked as well if two gay actors had been playing those roles, and because they were both straight it made their sexual awkwardness more convincing, more like it might be for two cowboys. 'Exactly. Here are these two lonely people who find themselves through love. Love has no bounds and these two people found a connection in this massive, lonely landscape of Wyoming.'
Jake let people think he is / might be bisexual because it was important to have people know it was two straight actors playing those parts. Huh?
It doesn't make sense to me either :)
Jake let people think he is / might be bisexual because it was important to have people know it was two straight actors playing those parts. Huh?
Yeah, exactly, huh? Actually this is pretty funny. LOL
In this week's Entertainment Weekly (June 6th), Billy Crystal shares a story about Jake during the filming of "City Slickers."
Thanks Billy!
Jake is City Slickers
^^^ Jake in City Slickers
Old Toothy BI from Ted:
"Tooth-doll not only seduced the man who would decide the whole-deal shebang (it's sort of a studly adventure story, in so many ways), he now shares cocaine, hotel suites and party favors with the bigwig. Isn't that sweet when one can stay bestest amigos with one's ladder-climbing bed partners?"
"Jake let people think he is / might be bisexual because it was important to have people know it was two straight actors playing those parts. Huh?"
I think he meant he is straight
Yes, in that interview Jake was saying he's straight (and single), but this is different subject:

Two Tush-Trying Blind Vices
That Toothy Tile. He just lives to push the fagola envelope, love that about the young acting hunk! (And I know you do, too.)
Now, quite frankly, T2's latest man-on-man moves far outshine his recent movie choices; though, that's an arguable statement at best—I just don't go fer this hetero image Mr. T. is busy trying to push over on his ever loyal, hapless, ticket-buying fans.
But we'll just leave that li'l bit o' politically incorrect poo-pooing and get straight, as it were, to the attempted wild sex in the back of the limousine, 'kay? Thought you might agree...
Oh, gawd, I am getting old. I'm confusing all these closeted fruits into one big ass-banging aspic! So, sorry. It was Jiggly Wiggle-Poof who pounced—quite stupidly, I might add—on his so-not-gay limo driver while out promoting his supersuccessful boob-tube show in some hick state. And let's just say what went down was not at all what Jiggly had in mind (something bruised, not blushing).
Also, there's hope, I want you all to know, for Mr. Tile's movie career. Dare I say some of his future film projects are looking up, because, uh, how can I put this? T.T. has decided to start sleeping with better-looking people now to get his future projects—is that being too crass about it all?
In other words, for T.T.'s next 40-foot-wide job, Tooth-doll not only seduced the man who would decide the whole-deal shebang (it's sort of a studly adventure story, in so many ways), he now shares cocaine, hotel suites and party favors with the bigwig. Isn't that sweet when one can stay bestest amigos with one's ladder-climbing bed partners?
Warms my jaded-ass heart.
Blind Spot - Oct 19, 2006
Tooth-doll not only seduced the man who would decide the whole-deal shebang (it's sort of a studly adventure story, in so many ways)...
"It's sort of a studly adventure story" = Prince of Persia ?
I wouldn't judge Jake, that's how it works in Hollywood most of the time.
I asked this on DL, what does "party favors" mean?
I asked this on DL, what does "party favors" mean?
Sex and drugs:
"Users to the free service post anonymous notes in the "men seeking men" section, looking for others who want to "PNP," or party and play. In other words, these guys are looking for others who want to use party drugs like ecstasy, Viagra and crystal meth, and engage in sex -- sometimes unsafe, "unrestricted" sex, as many of the posts advertise.
In the posts, the men will use slang in reference to different drugs, like "420" for marijuana; "Tina" for crystal or speed; and a variety of creative uses with the letter "E" for ecstasy. Many times, men will post that they have "party favors" and want to keep their party going.

This is so unlike Jake. He really doesn't seem to be that type of guy.
I believe the coke rumors, because everyone in Hollywood did/does it, but unsafe sex and various pills. Not Jake! I don't believe it!
But he says next 40 ft wide job and that was Rendition, which was a political thriller, but he was studly in that, Brothers, studly/bad boy, the adventure part would be more with Tobey's character, Nailed, no. The Untitled Moon Project sounds more like it, Pop, is a movie based on a video game, and although the idea of a movie has been bouncing around, Jakes name was only attached to it this past March, this BI was over a year and a half ago.
PS: Sleeping with better looking people/plural =producers and Reese? We all think he got POP because of Reese, legit or not, he wouldn't feel the need to beard to get the part if he already allegedly slept with the HW bigwig/producer.
If true, it's the Moon proj. which was announced beforw POP.
This is so unlike Jake. He really doesn't seem to be that type of guy.
That's just part of the "party favors" explanation - no one suggested Jake used anonymous sex services. (There is a rumor that Clay Aiken did.)
We all think he got POP because of Reese...
Of course not.
Bearding / straight actor = less risk, better for business.
I wouldn't judge Jake, that's how it works in Hollywood most of the time.
Actually, I kind of like the idea. lol

I think it's PoP.
"A studly adventure story" sounds like the Prince of Persia synopsis.
PoP script that we have is from June 15, 2006 - 4 months before the BI. A lot of time for it to circulate around Hollywood.
Jakes name was only attached to it this past March...
There was no reason to announce it earlier.
Jake truly is ambitious. For fame and cash, who'd blame him?
PS: Sleeping with better looking people/plural =producers and Reese?
LOL! Compared to producers power, Reese isn't worth mentioning.
Jake truly is ambitious. For fame and cash, who'd blame him?
So you think it's possible that Jake used sex to get PoP role?
T.T. has decided to start sleeping with better-looking people now to get his future projects—is that being too crass about it all?
Better looking than who?
Better-looking as "he has his standards regarding looks, he won't sleep with just anyone".
Dr. P. "Despite their uncoupling by Mr Gyllenhaal, the cosmic duality endures, my sad friend."
What does he mean with uncoupling?
Better-looking as "he has his standards regarding looks, he won't sleep with just anyone".
This doesn't make sense. I think with better looking he meant more influential.
What does he mean with uncoupling?
Jake has abandoned Heath.
Ah, the Romeo and Juliet of our time. Earth and air, yin and yang, 6 and 9. Despite their uncoupling by Mr Gyllenhaal, the cosmic duality endures, my sad friend. Each exists most fully in relationship to the other, revealing psychological context through patterns generated by their perpetual interplay.
This doesn't make sense. I think with better looking he meant more influential.
OK, could be. But gay men are very visual ;)
If that's the case, then the bearding with Reese makes no sense. If he did all that to get a part or parts, then there is o reason to beard, he got the part/parts.
IMO the bearding has nothing to do with getting movie parts, but for his public image.
POP is a Disney production, they would have set him up back in '06 with a beard, and no Natalie and Great don't count. And it would have been someone totally opposite of Reese who is older and not the fan base they are looking for, k
like the fake Zanessa.
It seems to me that with Pop and The Moon proj., another blocbuster type flick that he got them and then he decide to beard full steam ahead.
Jake is trying to erase all the aagy rumors with Reese and her kids IMO, it's personal not professional.
Jake has abandoned Heath.
I don't understand, before or after Heath died?
That's a question for Dr Parnassus :)
That's a question for Dr Parnassus :)
I wish he'd come and visit us again and answer a few questions!
POP is a Disney production, they would have set him up back in '06 with a beard, and no Natalie and Great don't count.
Jake got the beard right after he got the PoP role (or the promise that role will be his) - end of 2006, Rendition filming.
In the last few posts Dr Parnassus implies Jake had romantic feelings for Heath, now he implies he abandoned him and offers no reason.
I hope he read our comments and clarifies some things soon.
H E L L O!
D O C T O R
P A R N A S S U S !!!
WHERE ARE YOU?
:)
Jake is trying to erase all the aagy rumors with Reese and her kids IMO, it's personal not professional.
It's still professional because bearding is about his public image and career, not about Jake hating gay rumors.
I think Dr. P. abandoned us! ;)
Doctor Parnassus has left the building!
2:38: how do you know when he was offerd Pop? The thread on IMDB says that disney had his name on the short list in January of '08. They narrowed it down to him in March of this year and offered him the part. This was postd by the same person that predicted that Jake and Gemma got the parts and it would be announced at the end of May.
Again: sex for a part and he got it. It seems to me he put out for it and still decided to beard, that's more profesional and shows that he is bothered by the rumors.
I thought Jake had all kinds of HW connections through his parents, why would he need to engage in sex with HW bigwigs and beard with Jake now? Or has he done this all along? And what about Maggie? Did she use the casting cooach too?
I meant beard with Reese now?
The thread on IMDB says that disney had his name on the short list in January of '08.
What on Earth IMDb has to do with what's really going on in Hollywood?
You don't expect to read true casting stories on IMDb, do you?
You'd think all doors were open for him after BBM. He even said so in this Italian Vanity Fair interview from 2007.
Maybe he wanted this specific role and did what he thought would help to get the part?
I thought Jake had all kinds of HW connections through his parents, why would he need to engage in sex with HW bigwigs and beard with Jake now?
Maybe those HW connections provided PoP script and a chance to meet the right person?
The imdb pster was right on the money with the casting news, they predicted in March BEFORE the rset of the internet started posting about it in April (Latino review) the posted sounded like they were from the UK where half of POP will be filmed. His co-stars were already announced before him, they were just waiting for his reponse, he was given the script before he went to SC to film Nailed.
Word is that he wasn't 100% sure, thought the part was a bit cheesey at first, I guess he changed his mind.
Coming up in '09: The Moon project and The Joe Namath Bio. and the bearding will continue.
Well, you don't need to beard all the time, George is a good example for that.
So he supposedly slept with this bigwig, but for what project?
I'm sorry, but I don't always believe what Ted writes.

I trust you, but I'm ABSOLUTELY sure that people who make casting decisions in Hollywood don't post on IMDb. lol
So he supposedly slept with this bigwig, but for what project?
For PoP. Ted said it's "a studly adventure story" and the timing is right.
You'd think all doors were open for him after BBM.
That's true only for the few biggest Hollywood players.
Do you think that, for example, Ryan Gosling or Christian Bale can pick and choose their roles as they please? I don't think so.
It's probably save to assume this pic was taken before Jake abandoned Heath;):
klick
Yes, it is :)
Yes, it is :)
LOL, I think so too!
Oscars
It's a cute picture, but notice how despite hugging their bodies don't really touch. They were more touchy feely with other co-stars when you look at pictures with them and others:
Toronto after party
George, I'm still waiting. When are you going to offer Jake a role in one of your movies?
Well?
And one from SAG, I found the presentation so funny:
SAG
Jake, Heath and a fan
Lucky fan! What wouldn't I give to be her in that picture.
I think Jake and Heath made each other laugh a lot.
Gyllenhaal and Witherspoon at Tomkats house warming bash last night:
http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b140297_tomkat_hosts_a-list_house_warming_bash.html
How appropriate! lol
They didn't mention Will Smith and Beckhams.
Doesn't sound A-list to me.
Just Jared:
Tom Cruise play it up for the cameras with wife Katie Holmes at their housewarming party in Beverly Hills on Saturday.
Celebrity guests included: Brooke Shields, Eva Longoria-Parker, Jennifer Lopez, Kirstie Allie, Kyra Sedgwick, Oprah Winfrey and Victoria Beckham.
4:41 i think that news.. if true obviously.. finally does it for me. Its gone from cute (Jake and Austin) to sad (Jake with Reese in Rome) to funny (Reese bad bikini body) to just plain creepy (hanging with the scientologists). Its been said before, but all you can hope is that Austin is well out of this freek show. He deserves better.
They are completely on the dark side.
Just for lol's check out this fat ass:

^^^ Wrong on so many levels. lol
Gyllenhaal and Witherspoon at Tomkats house warming bash last night
Each time I tell myself Jake can't reach any lower he goes and proves me wrong. How sad!
4:57.. that's made me feel better, there's something amsuingly tragic about a 'middle aged' fading actress wearing teen clothing. Mutton dressed as lamb anyone?
(maybe she hoping to try out for a role in HSM4)
Each time I tell myself Jake can't reach any lower he goes and proves me wrong.
Tobey Maguire was there.
Tobey was one of his former co-stars. What connection do Reeke have with them?
I didn't expect to see his name on the list, that's all.
I'm not impressed:
“Guests were treated to a formal sit-down dinner, which took place outside under a giant black tent covering the entire front of the estate alongside a large rectangular fountain. Behind the main house in the yard, an outdoor lounge offered comfortable sofas,” the insider report adds.
http://www.celebrity-gossip.net/celebrities/hollywood/tomkats-housewarming-party-204703/
I can't see how Tobey Maguire being there makes it any better. It's still partying with the creepiest man in HW and basically endorsing his cult. Any decent, sane, person wouldn't go within a mile of this guy.
It doesn't. But Tobey and Brooke Shields are two names I didn't expect to see on the guest list.
5:18 PM Agreed!!!
Yeah, but crazy Tom is still Hollywood royalty and working hard to keep it that way.
5:35.. its just disappointing (as if Reeke weren't enough) to have it confirmed that the cute actor guy you thought was a bit different / alternative / interestng is actually in the same sort of crapness league as Kirstie Alley and Victoria Beckham. Its all just so .. yuck.
(I'm trying to move on, I really am)
US magazine doesn't mention Reeke:
http://www.usmagazine.com/tom-cruise-and-katie-holmes-host-a-list-housewarming-party
OK magazine doesn't mention Reeke:
http://www.okmagazine.com/news/view/7039
Coming up in '09: The Moon project and The Joe Namath Bio. and the bearding will continue.
FYI: The Untitled Moon Project has been put on hold by Doug Liman. The director is focusing his next move on Jumper 2 (with Hayden Christensen). And since it has been confirmed as a trilogy (right after the release of Jumper 1), Doug Liman is eagerly working on this Jumper trilogy (something Doug wanted with Bourne, which was taken out of his hands then and as he says now it won't happen again). So, Doug Liman is not working with Jake Gyllenhaal, but happily working with Hayden Christensen (and as you can see, these actors acting skills have nothing to do here):)
And this means no Untitled Moon Project for Jake in the near future.
:)
Just Jared - updated guest list:
Celebrity guests included: Brooke Shields, Eva Longoria-Parker, Jennifer Lopez, Kirstie Allie, Kyra Sedgwick, Oprah Winfrey, Tobey Maguire, and Victoria Beckham. Oprah’s BFF Gayle King and Jeremy Piven also attended.
http://justjared.buzznet.com/2008/06/01/tom-katie-housewarming-party/
Ok doesn't mention Prince, Sean Combs, Ben Stiller. Cuba Gooding Gooding either unlike E. Ok is getting the info from RSS feeds, not "sources" and Google.
Some names appear on one list and not the other, like Kyra Sedwick and Rita Wilson, Tobey and Beckham who does not appear on E's list but you think she would.
The guesta are named and listed probably based on when they arrived, i assume that that all 250guests didn't arrive at once, some I bet made a cameo like Dakota Fanning which I think was past her bedtime.
I thought Tom was a joke in HW, i guess he kissed and made up with the right people.
Dissapointed that Jake was listed with Reese, surprise Will Smith wasn't listed.

The party finished 14 hours ago.
The party finished 14 hours ago.
No shit sherlock, and I don't expect the names I listed to be added to Jared, Ok, etc. I bet that it was more networking than party and they got lost before word really spread that they attending crazy tom's party, unfortunately Eonline is being picked up more than the others.
Doesn't make sense. According to Eonline "the party was a who’s who of A-listers" and Reeke are mentioned first.
Reese is A-list but not Jake, neither is Ben Stiller, Eva Lorgonia, Cuba Gooding, Combs may be A-list in the hip hop world, Prince? Not anymore and definately not Kristie Alley or Dakota. Tobey???
"Ben Stiller"
I beg to differ, he is A List!
