Dr. Parnassus, Sessions One & Two

Yesterday someone paged Dr. Parnassus and made me want to read his comments again. I've decided to repost them here – they are too good to be left hidden.

Feb 10, 2008

Q: Doctor Parnassus, why did Heath Ledger die?
Doctor Parnassus: My child, he died so his family could exploit his death for their own aggrandizement.
Q: And is Heath a bad man?
Doctor Parnassus: Oh yes. Seeking to avoid pain by using artificial aids is a sign of unremitting wickedness. Mr Ledger was feeling anxious and blue, so his doctor gave him Valium and Xanax. The Xanax disrupted his sleep, so he was prescribed Restoril. It didn't work so well and he was having headaches, so he took ibuproferen for the pain. Then he got a cold after working long nights, so he took some antihistamine. I wouldn’t be surprised if he drank wine regularly as well. It’s not human weakness, it’s simply evil. Tom Cruise agrees with me on this.
Q: So why did Cate Blanchett give a eulogy at his funeral?
Doctor Parnassus: CAA made her step in after one of their other clients dropped out.
Q: But why did Daniel-Day Lewis, one of our great actors, say admiring things about Heath?
Doctor Parnassus: Sentimental Anglo-Irish, you know. Plus self-aggrandizement.
Q: Doc, it’s coming clear. Heath was no good and everyone who paid tribute to him was faking or selfish.
Doctor Parnassus: Exactamundo, dear one.
Q: Family and mother of his child, too?
Doctor Parnassus: See my first answer.
Q: Jake Gyllenhaal didn’t pay tribute so…he’s the only non-phony. And unselfish?
Doctor Parnassus: One of my interesting cases. On this, he is a paragon of perfection, my sweet. He stayed silent as the grave (no pun intended!), avoided the spotlight (except in appropriate places such as People magazine), and kept shooting his movie (work comes first) and living his life with Ms Reese (another client of mine). I’m quite impressed with the boy.
Q: Now that you’ve explained it all, me too.

Q: Doctor Parnassus, why do the haters keeping hatin’ on Jake?
Doctor Parnassus: Oh my pumpkin, the homosexualistas love to devour their own.
Q: Jake is gay?
Doctor Parnassus: Hellooo! He is one of the most cheerful people I know!
Q: But I mean, why knock him for being public with the girlfriend and private with the dead friend?
Doctor Parnassus: These kvetchers are confused people who think inconsistency is bad. Inconsistency is good! PDA with Ms Reese but no display for Mr Heath is actually a sign of solidarity with all those dedicated to living lives of integration and wholeness.
Q: Hmmm. Doesn’t it suggest the maturity of a 6-year-old?
Doctor Parnassus: Not at all. I would say that people who speak out are immature. Mr Daniel Lewis is six.
Q: But about the haters…
Doctor Parnassus: Irrational need for integrity. Integrity is the last refuge of the insincere. You know, the good end happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what fiction means.
Q: You’ve lost me.
Doctor Parnassus: Ok, how about this? Always forgive your enemies - nothing annoys them so much.
Q: You mean forgive the Jake haters?
Doctor Parnassus: No, I mean forgive the Heath lovers. They’ll hate that.

'Donnie Darko': The sequel?

I'm trying to pretend I haven't heard about S. Darko, the sequel to Donnie Darko that begins shooting May 18.

While the two movies may share the Darko name and one star -- Daviegh Chase, the actress who played young Samantha Darko in the original -- director Richard Kelly is "not involved in any official capacity." The film takes place seven years after the original and focuses on Chase's character, now 18 and on a creepy road trip.

Perhaps the most disturbing/telling quote about the movie comes from a spokesman at UK-based sales company Velvet Octopus: "Donnie's not in (the new film) but there are meteorites and rabbits." Oh, dear.

Feel free to leave your anger/fears/etc. in the comments.

Joss Stone Lesbian Kiss Pics From "Snappers" Movie Set

When questioned about the steamy scenes in the flick, Joss came back with, “I just wanted to challenge myself. There are things in the film that are going to really push the boundaries, and that excites me! I can also confirm there will be a long lingering French kiss, but it won't be with a male!”

Good to know that Joss Stone is on the same page as the Bastardly Horndogg Community. And now for some more pics from the lesbian scene. Because we're complete bastards, we're going to accompany each lesbian kiss pic with a pic of Joss enjoying tea time with Elton John.

Austin and Jake barely talk these days. A pity but true. It's all about Reese and a big reason for this is that NONE of Jake's friends can stand her. None of them. So he just has her because no one else can stomach her. I believe the word used to describe her (among many adjectives) has been "unbearable." The same applies for his sister who supposedly finds Reese obnoxious and controlling.

From what I understand, Jake is pretty fragile these days. And supposedly this is considered his worst year ever. Heath died (which supposedly has "really fucked him up"), his film Nailed is very troubled (keeps getting shut down every week for lack of financing but it resumes shooting AGAIN tomorrow), his grandmother died, no real buzz for "Brothers" and he's been getting a lot of hate mail the last few months.

I know the tabloids have been painting him as this lovesick creature but in truth, he's been in a very bad state the last few months. A lot of this he has brought on himself and a lot (i.e. Heath's death, etc.) was not.

I'm beating a dead horse I know, but that's the only place to vent without people attacking you.
I just read an interview with Keanu Reeves where he said how much he still misses his friend River Phoenix. I remember what he said about River after he died. In an interview while promoting MOPI they said they'll be Romeo and Juliett in a play. After River died Keanu said he lost his Juliett.
He even had to take some time off filming Speed after River died, because if was too painful.
It would have been ok with me seening Jake and Reese out and about happy after Heath's death if he said something about him, but he didn't, that's why he should have been more low key. I don't know if they were as close as Keanu and River, but Heath chose him over long time friends to be the Godfather of his only child and that means something. I think he behaved disrespectful towards a friend and I think Heath deserved better.
I'm sorry I just read that interview and thought what a great guy Keanu seems to be and had to think about Heath's and Jake's "friendship".
I'll move on now!

Video: Leonardo's big Hollywood gay kiss (and others!)...

Wow! I remember seeing "Total Eclipse" in the theaters way back when but seeing this kissing scene of Leonardo DiCaprio kissing another guy makes me want to watch it all over again! This is a really hot kiss!

Wow. Alan Rickman had a gay kiss on screen? Who knew? And it's pretty good. The film is called "Dark Harbor" and the other actor in the scene is Norman Reedus.

This scene from 1982's "Making Love" was revolutionary at the time. Seems very tame now! But still, Michael Ontkean is stunningly beautiful as the married man questioning his sexuality. At least he's got Harry Hamlin to help him figure things out!

And just for fun: Sean William Scott and Ashton Kutcher in "Dude, Where's My Car?" It was a goof but isn't this better than a lot of gay kisses we've seen in the movies? They just go for it.

So it's all about Jake? Bleh! Jake wouldn't be so "fragile" if he stepped outside of his own head for a minute and thought about someone other than himself. (Clearly asking him to think about Heath's reputation and legacy rather than his own grief was asking too much.)
He dissed Heath though his silence and then threw in his lot totally with Reese, the anti-Heath (also the anti-Maggie, anti-Papa G, anti-Mama G.) Jake has gone from zinfandel to white wine spritzer.

Well, It's A Start

You know ... I just *love* it when men listen to me. Yesterday, I blogged about how Jake Gyllenhaal has been slipping into boringland now that he's "attached" to Reese Witherspoon and I publicly stated that I wished he would up his game ... it turns out that Jakey poo was listening and has done just that. Here are photos of a spandexed Jake going for a bike ride in Venice, CA -- er, unfortch he brought along Reese Witherspoon with him. I guess beggars can't be choosers...

Well, looks like the PR Firm really earned their money this weekend with arranging all the photo ops for the paps. IHJ has pics of our fav couple on the beach on Sunday. Jake must not be feeling the love for himself, he has his shirt and shorts on the whole time, while Reese struts around in her bikini. And, for someone who has her picture taken so often in workout clothes, she has bad muscle tone in her stomach and upper thighs.

I have to agree she looks incredibly flabby for someone who supposedly works out. Also, when you are at the beach with someone you "love" (or even lust after), don't you want to get as skin to skin as possible. What's with him keeping his clothes on and she takes her off?

Star Trek's George Takei to Marry Partner Brad Altman

In an announcement Friday on his website, actor George Takei announced that he'll be taking advantage of the new California same-sex marriage law and wedding his partner and business manager Brad Altman. Takei and Altman have been together for over 21 years. In his message, which discusses their relationship as well as his experience as a Japanese American: Takei says:

"As a Japanese American, I am keenly mindful of the subtle and not so subtle discrimination that the law can impose. During World War II, I grew up imprisoned behind the barbed wire fences of U.S. internment camps. Pearl Harbor had been bombed and Japanese Americans were rounded up and incarcerated simply because we happened to look like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor. Fear and war hysteria swept the nation. A Presidential Executive Order directed the internment of Japanese Americans as a matter of national security. Now, with the passage of time, we look back and see it as a shameful chapter of American history...With time, I know the opposition to same sex marriage, too, will be seen as an antique and discreditable part of our history..."

Takei is the second high-profile entertainer to make such an announcement, following Ellen Degeneres' last Friday.

"Brokeback Mountain" is screened in Cuba...

A screening of "Brokeback Mountain" on Cuban state TV was part of a day of unprecedented openness in the communist-run island where prejudice against homosexuals remains deeply rooted in Cuban society. So the screening and a day-long government-backed campaign against homophobia on Saturday is a big deal and seems to be thanks to an important ally: President Raul Castro's daughter, Mariela (pictured with two unidentified friends), who presided over the largest gathering of openly gay activists ever to be held in Cuba.

"The freedom of sexual choice and gender identity (are) exercises in equality and social justice," Mariela Castro said to the Associated Press.. She is the director of Cuba's Center for Sexual Education, "This is a very important moment for us, the men and women of Cuba, because for the first time we can gather in this way and speak profoundly and with scientific basis about these topics.".

Mariela is making the difference - bravo for her!

"She [Mariela Castro] is currently attempting to get the Cuban National Assembly to adopt what would be among the most liberal gay and transsexual rights law in Latin America. The proposed legislation would recognise same-sex unions, along with inheritance rights. It would also give transsexuals the right to free sex-change operations and allow them to switch the gender on their ID cards, with or without surgery."

LMAO at the midget ruining the pictures. And the midget probably ordered him not to take the shirt off because he'd look to gay.

In response to 4:00 a.m. that is exactly my point. Most people pick a movie based on the story, the director or the appeal of the actors; I doubt very many people go to a particular movie just because of who the star is sleeping with, and yet all the people who live their lives in the tabloids sure seem to think it will sell tickets.

Iron Man Downey's Skin Wearing Thin?

Bloated as they may be, Iron Man revenues are apparently still outpaced by the swelling ego of the film's star, the hard-bitten Robert Downey Jr. Or maybe the late-blooming blockbuster hero has just lost his tolerance for press junkets. Either way, reporters are all abuzz over his recent red carpet meltdown. Downey, 43, seemed generally fed up with questions and went on a tirade to one reporter who dared ask him his thoughts on the Iraq war (There are several references to the fighting in the comic book flick, and Downey's Tony Stark character is a defense contractor).

"Downey went crazy. He jumped up and started screaming 'Fuck you!' over and over at the poor journalist" at the film's New York screening, an eyewitness tells Radar. "He started telling him that he'd only taken this movie 'for the big paycheck' and that he should 'shut the fuck up and let me have my blockbuster.'" Downey's publicist didn't immediately return a message seeking comment.

It should be noted that Downey, an Oscar nominee for Chaplin is not completely unaware of his own new clout as an action hero—he's certainly cashed the paychecks that come with it, too. "My ego is saying this is a victory tour," he said to the New York Times' David Carr of his Iron Man publicity rounds. "I'm all for chanting your own name, I'm all for that kind of pride, go with that a little bit, but that's just a firing pin to give you that energy to get through all the stuff."

The energy was running low last week, apparently. Downey declined to answer what he considered mundane questions about the film at the New York premiere, asking a reporter "Do you have any actual questions?" Quipping that "my time is valuable," he then turned heel and walked off. "It was the talk of the screening," said a reveler. "All the reporters were overheard remarking what a dick Robert was." Or maybe he's just facing an action film press junket sober, a superhero feat if there ever was one.

Yes, let's not talk about his screwed up personal life or the fact that he doesn't have any films firmly lined up now. Instead, let's focus on his beach physique, non-existent marriage rumors and Gen. Witherspoon's semi-Freudian machinations.

Jake's PR is working overtime to distract us from his personal and professional embarassments.

I'd like to wash my hands of him, but I still remember his incredibly brilliant and courageous performance in BBM, and his amazing courage afterwards. He still is a courageous man, but he's in a very tough spot, both personally and professionally.

Thank god that Chris is still in his life. I think that his courage and what's left of his integrity comes from his best friend.

He said the Gambia was a country of believers, indicating that no sinful and immoral act as homosexual would be tolerated in the country. He warned all homosexuals in the country to leave, noting that a legislation 'stricter than those in Iran' concerning the vice would be introduced soon."

^ It was because he ordered a venti half-caf, 2 1/2 shot, 3-pump vanilla, 1/2 half and half, 1/2 nonfat, extra hot latte machiatto.

I think it was George Carlin who said the more complex and pretentious the coffee order, the bigger the a-hole.

Dear Ted:
Your One Karma-Killin' Blind Vice about Butch Spit-Spat and his underage son "dating" the older woman came out in TMZ. Butch is Billy Bob Thornton; poor kid is his son. Awesome reporting—you beat the authorities by a month. Hopefully, the LAPD will subscribe to your site!

Dear Goss Gal:
Now, if only TMZ could help all of you reveal that pesky Toothy Tile.
