I have read all your Toothy Tile items and I know who he is. My guess, and I know no one has guessed, is Channing Tatum. He has to be. I also want to throw in Emile Hirsch and Chris Evans just in case.

Dear Ted:
You are so sassy! I knew Toothy Tile was Matthew McConaughey. And then you gave it away stating that Liev Schrieber and Toothy have a much in common...duh, like Liev scrambled is Levi, Matthew's new baby. Seriously! Brilliant. I'm a Republican, through and through...but honestly Ted, I think we would be great buddies. Why can't elephants and donkeys just get along? I adore you.

Dear Jungle Joneser:
Why does everybody in the world think M.M. is T.T.? (He's not.) I simply find that fascinating. Adore you back!
Dear Ted:
I absolutely can't stand the format and color of the AT site now. I know, I know, I know you don't care, you're past it...but anyone who's says they like it is just sucking up to you big-time. On another item, in your experienced estimation, what's the ratio of heteros to gays/lesbians in Hollywood? Just so I won't be shocked the next time I read one of your columns.

It ain't Murray—we'd have no problem giving Chad's bedroom habits away. Toothy's much juicier than some One Tree Hill chump.

Dear Ted:
I think you are lovely and amazing. But why must you tease us so with the ongoing saga of Toothy Tile? Must we guess every actor in Hollywood until you have eliminated all but one? Since the answer is probably yes, I'll contribute a guess: Milo Ventimiglia. He went out with Alexis Bledel, and who better fits the description of "superannoyingly perfect" than the younger Gilmore? And Tile could be a contraction of "Twenty Miles," which his surname translates to. Alexis, Hayden P....With his tastes in beards, one could say Toothy has led astray the good girl, no?

Dear S&M Wannabe:
Because torture is so delicious. And no on Milo, think even more famous a player.

Has Toothy curbed the public nooky sessions? Also, do his parents know he's gay?

Newark's Toby Kebbell gave Michelle Pfeiffer a massage
If you don't already know his name, memorise it now, because Newark's Toby Kebbell seems set to become an A-list film star and a household name. Having cut his teeth on Dead Man's Shoes, Alexander and Match Point, he's currently starring in the title role in Guy Ritchie's RockNRolla. Soon to appear in Cheri alongside Michelle Pfeiffer and The Prince of Persia with Jake Gyllenhaal, the former Carlton Television Workshop student speaks exclusively to Jo Roberts about fame, women, family – and giving Michelle Pfeiffer a rub down.
Where are you living and working at the moment?
In London, working on The Prince of Persia. After RockNRolla I was out of work for 11 months, to shoot down the idea of the glamour. Then I was in Morocco for two and a half months learning to ride on a horse and fight with an axe for the Prince of Persia, but these big projects go on and on, so I'm shooting at Pinewood now. My co-star Jake (Gyllenhaal) is a lovely fella. He's been training hard and pumping iron; he's all about doing his acting right. It's more like doing a marathon than it is like acting, you're delivering these lines that are a bit obscure and you wouldn't normally say like (adopts OTT theatrical voice) 'The mystical dagger of time is going to save us all!' So it's a tricky one, but Jake's got the bull by the horns. We sat around and had a bite to eat a couple of times. He's a typical Yanky chap.
Is there any truth in the rumour that you're dating Gemma Arterton, your co-star in both RockNRolla and The Prince if Persia?
No. I wasn't in any scenes with Gemma and we weren't on set together at any time, but we did spend time learning to horse ride together for The Prince... The press love to whack out a story and that's fair enough, but my girlfriend, Ruzwana, was a bit miffed about it. She's a lovely girl and, of course, she's upset when someone says you're having an affair out in Egypt, but I'd never been to Egypt so she knew it wasn't true.

No break for PoP cast?
"Saturday, Sep 13, 2008
We 'drove to Ait ben Haden, a cool Kasbah town on a hill where they film lots of movies. When we arrived, they were filming a scene from the "Prince of Persia". We got to see about twelve guys on horseback with flags who were galloping into the gates of the Kasbah. That was cool!'"
I bet Jake has grabbed a few bulls by the horn.
So Jakey's doing a good job as PoP? Great news.
Yo-Ho, Yo-Ho! Some Booty for Pirate Day
Forget Capt. Jack and those other pretenders.
In celebration of International Talk Like a Pirate Day, may we present a little clip to get you in the mood from SNL (aka Scalawags' Night Live?) featuring Maggie Gyllenhaal's favorite sea dog, Peter Sarsgaard.
Enjoy, me hearties.
E! Online
SNL
Peter Sarsgaard in Saturday Night Live
LOLTube: Gays in Space
The Hot Seat
Peter Sarsgaard
Undaunted by his piratical-sounding last name, the actor readies himself for Broadway.
Whether you know him as the character actor from Kinsey and Garden State, the Saturday Night Live host whose name was mercilessly ridiculed in a pirate accent, or simply Mr. Maggie Gyllenhaal, it’s hard not to like Peter Sarsgaard. The 37-year-old—who last year relocated to Park Slope with his actor wife and their baby girl, Ramona—is about to unleash that scene-stealing charisma in a production of The Seagull at the Walter Kerr Theatre, opening September 25. A few weeks before his Broadway debut, Sarsgaard spoke to us over the phone from his Brooklyn townhouse.
Time Out New York: It sounds like you’re multitasking. What have I caught you doing?
Peter Sarsgaard:Right now I’m making some meatballs. I have the mixture put together and I’m thinking I’m going to make the balls a little bit smaller than usual. I’m thinking Ping-Pong size.
TONY: Mmm…meatballs. Not a bad way to spend your free time.
Peter Sarsgaard: In my free time—that’s a phrase that doesn’t really exist. Most of what I do in my free time these days is, you know, be a father.
TONY: How are you liking Park Slope so far?
Peter Sarsgaard: Very much. The West Village, where I had lived, paid a price when the Gansevoort Hotel and all those things went in. A lot of taxi traffic and a lot more paparazzi.
TONY: Why not use a disguise? Ape suits are pretty cheap these days.
Peter Sarsgaard: Whenever I see somebody in sunglasses and a hat I always assume they’re famous. [Pauses] An ape suit? That would really throw them off.
TONY: Totally. Speaking of costumes, I assume this production of The Seagull finds you in bird garb, shouting, “Caw! Caw! Caw!”
Peter Sarsgaard: Absolutely. And dropping clams onto rocks to see if they split open.
TONY: Your Tony Award awaits. Do you have any preshow superstitions?
Peter Sarsgaard: Am I superstitious? I mean, I’m Catholic—so yeah, deeply. But I have done things that were a little OCD, yes.
TONY: Like what?
Peter Sarsgaard: I’d have to say something a certain number of times. Sometimes I’d say it loud enough so I could be overheard. And then I couldn’t explain it to anyone.
TONY: Has it ever freaked out your costars?
Peter Sarsgaard: The only person who commented on it was Chloë Sevigny. She tells people it’s something I do all the time. I don’t think it is, but I certainly did it around her on Boys Don’t Cry.
TONY: What was it you were doing?
Peter Sarsgaard: I’d say “motherfucker” five times. And then, if I was asked about it, I would act like it didn’t happen.
TONY: Awesome. Did you do anything to prepare for your big make-out scene with Liam Neeson in Kinsey?
Peter Sarsgaard: We did a movie together called K-19: The Widowmaker. That’s how we prepared for it. You know, it’s funny. You constantly end up in strange situations with people as an actor—and you just do it. God knows they’re paying you enough.
TONY: But as a straight guy, wasn’t it hard to go through with it?
Peter Sarsgaard: It wasn’t as hard as, say, running around with all my gear on in Jarhead. I’d rather go for an awkward moment than physical exertion any day. The only thing that I think [male actors] get freaked out about when they have to do something like kiss a guy in a movie—when to their knowledge they’re straight—is that they’re afraid they’re going to be turned on. And if you’re not afraid that you’re going to be turned on—meaning that you know what you like—then really it’s not that hard.
TONY: After the SNL appearance, has it become difficult for even you to say your last name the right way?
Peter Sarsgaard: You mean without a pirate accent? My name has always seemed very normal to me. And it’s not hard to say. It’s phonetic. Whereas Gyllenhaal, for example, it’s perfectly understandable that you wouldn’t come out with that.
TONY: Yeah, it’s sort of like, “Buy a vowel!”
Peter Sarsgaard: I mean, there’s loads of consonants right in a row at the beginning—G-Y-L-L, still no vowel. The double a at the end is just to let you relax after going through all those consonants.
TONY: You hooked up with Maggie just because she also has a double a in her last name, didn’t you?
Peter Sarsgaard: [Laughs] Yeah. I don’t know. No.
The Seagull opens Sept 25. Broadway.

Stupid question, but interesting answer.
So a straight guy would freak out and a gay guy would take it as a compliment. Luckily there aren't many straights working in Hollywood.
One Undivorced Blind Vice: Straights Are Sluts, Too
Oh, this is a tough one this week: Do we do the cable star who's pretending to have a stalker (she's sending herself all kinds of horrendous things at work, just so her contract-renewing bosses think the babe's got heat, as if package-sending retards, imagined or otherwise, are going to make a difference in their decisions, oh, please)?
Or the star who screws around like John McCain once did. Hey, it's political fever time out there, I vote for the latter! But first, gotta say something. You know, I really think a lot of you frisky folk out there are getting the wrong impression: That I think only gay guys pull the really self-hating, sleazy, deliciously kinky love crap. Hardly! You hets sure know how to get your skank on, too, hon-pies, of this, I am positive. Certainly, Gore-Me Garth proves this point excellently. A star of the screen's more, shall we say, gruesome tales, Garth-babe's been pulling some love exercises, off camera, that surely would make his wife's blood boil.
Zoom in on: A somewhat established Sunset Strip bar. It's empty, save the bartender (our source, like, duh), and Gore-Me and some chick he is not married to. She looks kind of exotic. GMG just looks horny. I think his pants are tenting, it's real under-the-bleachers kinda stuff. The couple who thinks they are so secretly flirting with each other orders buttloads of whiskey sours, which, perhaps—or not—explains why they then start acting like Toothy Tile in a West Hollywood parking lot, as they move to a couch and do what probably took John McCain at least a second date to do with Cindy. For hours. In front of the bartender!
Like, what, they thought booze-servers are priests or something? Did they think the uniformed type wouldn't blab? Now, I don't know how far, exactly, Gore-Me and his sultry lass went, but if we got another Reille Hunter type sitch in the works, wouldn't be at all surprised.
And It Ain't: Will Smith, Dylan Walsh, Josh Brolin
Perez has a crush on Zac
Zac Makes The Day Brighter
How is this possible?
Who would have thought Zac Efron could look any better than he usually does? The hottie, who turns 21 next month, has all the girls, and boys, drooling over him. Zefron was spotted Thursday night at the 6th Annual Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party, which was held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Of course, he took his (beard) girlfriend along. She looked boring, as usual. But all eyes must have definitely been on Zacquisha.
He just makes us melt!

Anne Hathaway: A Princess Gets Edgy
Anne Hathaway's personal life hasn't been a fairy tale lately. About to hit the screen with a dark, riveting turn in ''Rachel Getting Married,'' the actress talks about taking risks, growing up, and getting her priorities straight
...
Hathaway's supporting role as Jake Gyllenhaal's embittered rodeo-queen wife proved she could play a grown woman. Many people took notice. ''I thought, Huh, here's an actress who, at the age of 22, plays a character that goes from 17 to 40,'' says Rachel screenwriter Jenny Lumet, the daughter of legendary filmmaker Sidney Lumet. ''That is really freakin' hard to do.''
Hathaway's range eventually helped her land the lead in 2006's The Devil Wears Prada, a big, glittery piece of Hollywood entertainment that just happened to costar thespian heavyweights Meryl Streep and Stanley Tucci. Prior to working with them, Hathaway says, she'd never felt artistically free on a movie set. ''I was motivated more by stress than I was by creativity. I didn't want to fail. But the whole Devil Wears Prada gang raised my understanding of what it is to be a great actor. They were just operating on another level than I ever had. I was inspired to throw caution to the wind because that's what I saw them doing.''
...
''I hope this doesn't sound conceited, but when I turned 25, I realized I was never going to be precocious again,'' she says. ''And I was really happy about that. I was a highly motivated, driven young actress — precociousness just kind of goes with the territory. Now I feel like I can just be an actress.''

Poll: Does Man-On-Man Action Turn You On?
Guys like watching girls make out. When men spot girl-on-girl action, it’s like moths to a flame. This summer, there have been plenty for dudes to gawk at, seeing as being a lesbian is the new new thing. From Katy Perry’s ”I Kissed a Girl” to Megan Fox admitting she fell for a stripper named Nikita, going girl gay is everywhere. But what about us gawkers? Women get the shaft when it comes to “Brokeback Mountain"-style bromances. We want to know. Does two dudes making out do it for you?
Does Man-On-Man Action Turn You On? Total Votes: 504

Ellen DeGeneres: wedding got too big after Justin Timberlake offered to sing
Ellen DeGeneres has confirmed that Justin Timberlake was set to play at her wedding to Portia De Rossi - but Ryan Seacrest talked her out of it.
Speaking on Ryan’s radio show this week, Ellen explained that Justin volunteered to write and perform a song especially for the happy couple and “that made [the guest list] get bigger”: “We said, ‘He can’t just sing for our Aunt Helen from Mississippi! We got invite some more!’”
Then George Michael agreed to sing too: “It just got bigger and bigger. It was going to be gigantic, but Ryan talked us out of it. “I truly believe people get carried away with the volume of the wedding that they don’t enjoy the purpose of the wedding. “It started from the wrong place. We called and disinvited everyone. They totally understood.”
The couple eventually dropped around 200 people from the guest list so that just around 20 close family and friends observed the August ceremony at their Beverly Hills home. Ellen added that married life “is fantastic”: “I think until you’re married you don’t know. You can have a commitment in your heart but there’s something about getting married.”

Timberlake writing song for Ellen, Portia
U.S. pop star Justin Timberlake said he is planning to write a song for his friend Ellen DeGeneres and her new bride Portia De Rossi. I actually made them a promise and I'm gonna stick to it, Timberlake said when he called into radio's The Billy Bush Show Thursday.
Asked if there is any truth to rumors his former boy band N'SYNC is planning a reunion, Timberlake told Bush: We haven't talked about it. There's nothing in the works for that.
One artist he may be collaborating with, though, is Beyonce. We are still in the process of creating, but we've been in the studio a little bit and just writing and producing some songs for her, he said.

May 4 2007 .. last time Jakey & Austin were ever snapped together, my interpretation is Jake & Austy were laughing having fun with Autin's 2 pals ..until paps crashed their party.. would luv ta know the book Jake is so daintly holding up for Austy's inspection..have always maintained that the look on Jake's face exiting/fleeing the store says it all.take a good look..to me he looks on the verge of tears.. others have other interpretations.. but Autin has disappeared from the store and from Jakes life (public) at least since Jaustin finito May 4, 2007.
GLAD released a list of the No on Prop 8 contributers.. notable by their absence:
Ellen & Portia
Rosie
Mellisa
Where art thou ?
Come on ladies, don't be stingy!

Yes, Jake does look sad, I hope it was just because paparazzi spoiled the fun.

Austin is wearing the ring.
Jake is acting like a total queen in those Border Pictures.
Masculinity is overrated.
Posted on OMG
A fan of Emmy Rossum: I was looking through the june (2004) issue of YM and there was section where an interviewer talk to Jake (Gyllenhaal) and Emmy on the set of The Day After Tomorrow. Here's a transcript
Interviewer : What's it like to work in this kind of disaster movie?
Emmy : It's like doing water aerobics all daywearing wool clothes. Its simultaneously hot and cold., windy, and rainy total tourure
Interviewer : So why is it worth putting yourself through all that?
Jake : The environmental message is important to me. Not alot of people read about the environment, but if they see this movie they can learn about it. All the tsunamis and hurricans will happen if global warming continues at the current rate. i hope it'll show people that we as a country -and world- need to take action asap
Interviewer : You're dealing with important issues on-screen, but it looks like youre having a lot of fun oo. Jake, I saw you dancing around, smacking your butt to get people to laugh.
Jake : I especially love messing with Austin [Nichols, who plays a rich kid who also wants to date Laura]. He'll do a take and I'll say, "youre not reallly going to do that are you?"
Emmy : I'm such a goofball. Arjay [Smith, who plays the nerdy comic relief guy] is teaching me to beat-box. I sing opera already so I want to be the first to be the first hip-hopera star
Jake : If anyone can she can. Emmy has such a presence when I met her at her audition, I thought I was auditioning for her.
Spooky's Journal
"Jake: I especially love messing with Austin" :D
Interviewer: Jake, I saw you dancing around, smacking your butt to get people to laugh.
Jake: I especially love messing with Austin.
That boy loves to dance! lol
O Jake you sweet slut where are you?
Shooting PoP. He'll be back soon. :)
Can't wait for Jake to get back, but unfortunately we'll be flooded with Reeke pics. Maybe all this time alone cleared his head and he'll bring an end to the Reeke phonymance.
Doubt Reeke will be over when he gets back.
Doubt Reeke will be over when he gets back.
Sadly, ITA. I also think that Jake will go all the way with Reeke and actually marry her.
Nonsense.
Yes trying (unsucessfully) to prepare myself for diamond ring goodhousekeeping seal of approval and all that - it would have been helpful it he'd been open about a potential committment rather than continuing to fuck around with his "the love that whatever" bullshit and wagging his tail in the :I will survive: video.
fuck you jake gyllenhaal!
(crazy bout the boy)
Jake might be a masochist, but he would have to be batshit crazy to marry Reese.
he's gonna fuckin' marry this woman! it's gonna be a lifelong mess.
wish I knew how to quit him.
he's going to continue to have everybody jumpin' like catz on a hot tin roof -
I mean, I gotta a brilliant career goin' I dont have time for this!
fuck you Jake Gyllenho! you slut!
Not in a million years.
whoo whoo Jakie pullin' up yr skirts - "I was only kidding"
right.
Jakey should dump Reese, leave L.A. and go to New York, find a new, better beard there. And he'd be near his sister and niece and his little goddaughter. They live in the same neighbourhood as far as I know.
Jake should use condoms (carefuliy)until he figures out WTF he wants.
I have a goddaughter???
Jake shld practice safe sex and study sufism.
Jake should floss and wash more often, esp. his hair.
I have a goddaughter???
You do Jakey, you do!
Jake should return to Columbia and get his B.A.
May 4 2007 .. last time Jakey & Austin were ever snapped together...
I thought that was a message for Ted that J/A didn't need him anymore for "the narative".
JFC was just premiering on the HBO.
They thought A's career will take off.
Maybe he's not smart enough?
I was referring to 9:45.
Would he even be in Columbia if mommy didn't have her connections?
"Would he even be in Columbia if mommy didn't have her connections?"
and his sis riding shotgun
Isn't Jake lucky? Great connections in Hollywood, in good schools. Not bad.
not that lucky! he's not had solid theatre training - not finished university - Columbia a stupid choice for a kid like this -
he's gonna have to carry that load a long time . . .
Everybody gets their effin B.A. - he's at a disadvantage, in this respect. bet he holds a grudge about this. . .
"Maybe he's not smart enough?"
I think Jake's smart enough. Just for some reason not had good guidance from family. who knows why.
he'll be okay, though. IMHO.
Clearly J&A never go out together in public. Can't imagine trading a life for the bucks of doing movies like PoP. Hope all those dollars keep him warm at night, I can't imagine Austin is going to put up with that forever.
Jake shld practice safe sex and study sufism.
Sufism would definitely give him the edge. lol
I think Jake's smart enough. Just for some reason not had good guidance from family.
Jake's family couldn't force him to choose B.A. over doing movies.
What if he did finish the university - no Donnie Darko, no Moonlight Mile - what would Jake's career look like now?
Clearly J&A never go out together in public.
As long as they are together in private ... :)

Cover Girl's Use Of Gays & Blacks: Progressive? Or Pandering?
As previously reported, Cover Girl recently made a deal with Ellen DeGeneres to be the "face" of its brand. But Ellen isn't CoverGirl's first interesting pick: They also have Queen Latifah. As a post on Jossip points out, Queen Latifah is black, not stick-thin, and often rumored to be gay. The brand has also used black ladies like Brandy, Rihanna, Eva Pigford and Kiara Kubukuru in its ads. Jossip asks the question: Is Cover Girl the most progressive cosmetics company? A commenter on Jossip says: No.
Writes matukonyc:
"Unfortunately, I think describing P & G as 'progressive' is a bit naive. Cover Girl is among the least expensive of major drugstore cosmetics; one could easily argue that marketing to black women is a cynical attempt to make poor people buy their cheap product. Are KFC and McDonald's progressive because they use black people in ads? As for being 'gay-friendly,' I think the fact that Ellen DeGeneres has a popular daytime talk show with the right kind of demographics is why she's in their ads. Capitalism trumps prejudice every time, if the price is right!"
Well, it is a business, after all. But Cover Girl could use whomever they please. Or they could use black woman and, you know, lighten her skin. While it's terrible that cosmetics companies generally promote a "white beauty" standard, is it also awful that only the low-budget brands are willing to embrace the gays and minorities? Should blacks and gays be insulted by their inclusion by Cover Girl? Or, seeing as how many of the people who shop at drug stores for cosmetics are young — or teens — is Cover Girl setting a good example by using diverse "faces"?
Cover Girl
... is Cover Girl setting a good example by using diverse "faces"?
It's a business, all they care about is profit, but it's a good thing to use diverse "faces" and ages.

AIDE RATTED OUT ANNE EX
An administrative assistant to Raffaello Follieri outed him to the FBI, telling agents the admitted swindler kept a safe stuffed with financial and business records in his Trump Tower apartment, court papers unsealed yesterday reveal.
The ex-boyfriend of "Devil Wears Prada" star Anne Hathaway was convicted of scamming investors out of more than $2 million by falsely claiming extensive Vatican connections. In one federal affidavit, Follieri's assistant blabbed that his boss kept a safe in which he stashed business documents.

Steve Guttenberg Continues To Embarrass Himself For Our (and His) Pleasure
The Police Academy star's bizarre resurgence into the public eye—complete with horribly embarrassing interviews, sign carrying antics, and Brad Pitt-bashing—rumbles on. Last night he made an appearance at a show at the Upright Citizens Brigade theatre, wearing a dress.
...
(So: This appears to be more successful drag than Jake Gyllenhaal's disastrously embarrassing performance of "And I Am Telling You" when he hosted Saturday Night Live. Shudder.)

George Michael Arrested in Yet Another Public Toilet
Poor George Michael. Just weeks after completing his first world tour in fifteen years, the singer was busted in a London public bathroom for drug possession. The police report doesn't name Michael, but sources confirmed to the British press that he was busted Friday for crack possession after a suspicious bathroom attendant tipped off the cops. This comes after his famous 1998 arrest by an undercover officer for lewd conduct in a Beverly Hills bathroom, and his 2006 adventure when he plead guilty to driving under the influence of drugs after being found slumped over the wheel of his car and was forbidden to drive for two years. This time, the law is taking it easy on the former Wham front man.
The singer was taken to a police station and given the caution for possessing class A and class C drugs. Home Office Minister Tony McNulty said drug laws needed to be "flexible". Asked why Michael had been given a relatively mild punishment for the possession of class A drugs, Mr McNulty said he did not know the details of the case [...]

Jake Gyllenhaal in Drag
Who knew homegirl could sing? Jake Gyllenhaal channeled her inner (and it's not that far down) Jennifer Hudson and sang "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" for all his "gay fans" he says. I'm sort of sad that he was passed up for this role. He was born to play it. He's totally a good sport and I think I want him now. I'd definitely let him tap this, but only with the wig on.

Lust in translation: Gemma Arterton moves Spanish lover, 19, into her London flat – and hires a language teacher
They say the language of love is universal, but that hasn’t stopped Bond girl Gemma Arterton running into a few communication problems with her new Spanish boyfriend. The couple have just moved in together – but are having such problems understanding each other that 22-year-old Gemma has had to hire a translator.
The actress met 19-year-old stuntman Eduardo Munoz on the Moroccan set of the £50million blockbuster Prince Of Persia last month, where he was employed to teach her how to ride horses. They hit it off immediately, despite the language barrier, and the 6ft 2in action man moved into Gemma’s two-bedroom flat in Crouch End, North London, last week.
A source on the film – which has now shifted production to Pinewood Studios, just outside London – said: ‘Gemma is crazy about Eduardo. They fell for each other pretty much on day one and language didn’t stand in the way of their feelings.
‘But now Gemma wants to take it to the next level. She has invited Eduardo to live with her in London and has hired a language tutor who is teaching her Spanish and him English. ‘Her Spanish is non-existent and his English is rudimentary, so she’s been on set this week saying how much fun it is to have a translator who is teaching them to communicate properly for the first time.’
Eduardo’s work on the film should have ended when the movie switched from Morocco to England, but Gemma has insisted more work be found for him.

Neil Patrick Harris Comes Out as "Content Gay Man"
Late Friday evening Neil Patrick Harris, 33, became the latest celebrity to tell People magazine he is gay. Said the Albuquerque, New Mexico native, “I am happy to dispel any rumors or misconceptions and am quite proud to say that I am a very content gay man living my life to the fullest and feel most fortunate to be working with wonderful people in the business I love..."
Harris joins pop singer Lance Bass and Grey’s Anatomy star T.R. Knight as recent high profile celebrities to come out. Harris explained his reasons for coming out now as being due to “speculation and interest in my private life and relationships.”
The possibility Harris might be gay is one that has floated around the gay community for a number of years. However, no one had ever publicly published what amounted to only rumor. That changed on October 23rd, when Canada.com reported that Harris had supposedly landed David Burtka, 31 - a man he was rumored to be involved with - a guest role on his CBS series How I Met Your Mother. Burtka had small parts on The West Wing and Crossing Jordan, but is more well known for his stage work including performing alongside Bernadette Peters in Gypsy. While the mainstream media did not repeat the item in Canada.com, it reportedly led Harris’ publicist to issue a statement stating, “He is not of that persuasion.” However, the report in People seems to contradict the accuracy of that report by indicating Harris told the magazine he had not ever denied he was gay. Neil’s comments to People make no mention if Harris is involved with Burtka or anyone else.
Harris first rose to prominence as the teenage star of Doogie Howser, M.D. but has successfully made the transition from child star to adult actor. He currently stars on How I Met Your Mother, playing Barney Stinson. As with Grey’s Anatomy star Knight, this not only makes Harris one of the few gay actors playing a heterosexual role, but a notorious womanizer at that. As of this moment, no one from CBS or the series has commented on Harris’ coming out.
Before landing the role of Barney on How I Met Your Mother, Harris had guested on other television series including Numb3rs, Law and Order, and Boomtown. One of the first roles that helped Harris break out of his Doogie Howser image was provided by Starship Troopers, a science fiction film in which he played an aggressive military colonel. But it was reportedly his turn in Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle that brought Harris to the attention of Mother’s producers. In Harold & Kumar, Harris played a drastically fictionalized version of himself. During the course of the movie, he snorts cocaine off a woman’s backside, hitchhikes, and steals a car.
Broadway also provided an avenue for Harris to show his acting chops. In 2002, he starred with Anne Heche in Proof and then in 2004 he took over the role of Emcee in Cabaret. In addition, he starred in the revival of Stephen Sondheim’s Assassins playing both Balladeer and Lee Harvey Oswald. Harris also performed as Tobias Ragg in several performances of Sweeney Todd and sang the lead role of Charles in Sondheim’s Evening Primrose.
Harris’ coming out on the heels of Bass and Knight further breaks down doors and stereotypes of gay men and the roles they are capable of performing. It remains to be seen whether acknowledging he is gay will affect how the public perceives his role as the womanizing Barney, but it’s hard not to think that the American public must be growing accustomed to learning such news. Indeed, with the recent revelation that former Congressman Mark Foley is gay, and the apparent outing of Evangelical leader Reverend Ted Haggard, it seems every day brings news of someone else coming out.
Fortunately, Harris, a happy and content gay man, provides a positive counterbalance to those less positive images.
... it reportedly led Harris’ publicist to issue a statement stating, “He is not of that persuasion.” However, the report in People seems to contradict the accuracy of that report by indicating Harris told the magazine he had not ever denied he was gay.

Neil Patrick Harris's publicist: "He's not gay"
Actor Neil Patrick Harris has come under fire for getting his alleged "longtime sweetheart," David Burtka, a role on the TV sitcom How I Met Your Mother. A Canada.com brief reported that Harris landed a guest role for Burtka.
Since then, Harris's publicist issued a statement denying the rumors about his sexual orientation. "He's not of that persuasion," the release said.
Oh God, the bitch is the most annoying beard on the Planet.
Neil Patrick Harris, Lance Bass and T.R. Knight - they all were kind of pushed out of the closet, right?

Top 10 Lesbian-ish Men
Back in February when I blogged about the new Justin Timberlake video, I noted that I had a secret boy-crush on him. I was shocked to discover that a whole bunch of you shared my JT crush, which got me to thinking: Which other male celebs garner lesbian-ish vibes? Here's my attempt to rank the top 10. I chose them based on a highly subjective array of qualifications, including (1) how dykey their hair is; (2) how soulful their gazes are; (3) how much they look like girls I've dated; and (4) whether I'd mistake them for lesbians in a dark alley. Let me know if I've missed anybody.
Without further ado:
10. Jamie Bamber
The countdown begins with the pretty-faced actor behind Lee "Apollo" Adama on Battlestar Galactica, aka Starbuck's bottom. 'Nuff said.
9. Matt Damon
Remember the Matt vs. Ben debate? How can you resist the soft-spoken Harvard dropout with the gently furrowed brow?
8. John Cusack
For every girl who wished her lady love would stand outside her window with a boom box playing Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes." OK, so the photo above involves a weapon and a science magazine. That's kinda hot, too.
7. Eric Mabius
This pretty boy proved himself playing Jenny's cuckolded boyfriend on The L Word, but on Ugly Betty, he's the adorable playboy who gets played by the sophisticated Salma Hayek. When he gets all sad, don't you just want to buy him a kitten or something?
6. Orlando Bloom
He's moody. He wears dykey watches. He has soulful eyes. And he has an accent. Can you get any better? He's so emo.
5. Keanu Reeves
He's a soft-spoken dude with a secret: Underneath that black trench coat, he has the heart of a lady. If you don't believe me, look into his eyes.
4. Brad Pitt
His beauty is so legendary, Angelina Jolie snapped it up — and you know she likes girls.
3. Johnny Depp
This tattooed bad boy is just sweet enough to cross over to our side of the field. Plus, his lips are like pillows.
2. Justin Timberlake
"Cry Me a River" and "What Goes Around" proved that JT is just a sensitive pussycat underneath that smoldering stare.
1. Jake Gyllenhaal
The blue eyes. The artfully messed-up hair. That pout. Damn, I think I once dated a chick who looked just like him. Jake totally wins.
Top 10 Lesbian-ish Men
Lesbian-ish men? Is that a joke?
Top 10 Lesbian-ish Men

I chose them based on a highly subjective array of qualifications, including ... whether I'd mistake them for lesbians in a dark alley.
Jake, I'm sure she didn't really mean that!
do lesbianish men like girls? or whut?
Im so confused!
what kind of pornish do lesbianish men like?
Lesbian-ish men = men who are so purty that even lesbians are attracted to them.

The newly and totally not gay reign at GLAAD awards
Leave it to Jake Gyllenhaal to make a last-minute, surprise appearance at the GLAAD awards and yet manage to only be photographed alone or kissing Jennifer Aniston.
I couldn't stick around for the whole show but my spies inside say he took the stage to thunderous applause and a whole lot of hooting and hollering, which only barely quieted when he admonished the crowd, "Settle down, cowboys." That naturally did nothing to help people chill out, though they eventually hushed up long enough for him to award Jen the coolest straight chick prize.
I'll leave you to suss out just what exactly Jake was doing at the gayest game in town. Proving the Reese rumors wrong? Acting the totally cool straight man and proving them right? Graciously admitting no matter what he does -- short of actually stand up and say "I'm gay," if he is -- that people are going to be speculating about his sexuality until the day he dies?
In actually out-and-proud-people news (because there a few of those around, too!), watching Lance Bass, T.R. Knight and Neil Patrick Harris work the red carpet was a mini-series all on its own:
> Lance is charming and confident and absolutely displays the experience of a man who has given probably tens of thousands of interviews in his almost 28 years. He even managed with aplomb the fact that ex Reichen was only a few feet behind him at one point (not to mention him having at least one other ex in the audience). It's just a gay, small world, isn't it?
> T.R. Knight seemed a little spooked, seriously shy, but sweet and humble and apparently nearly cried when the crowd gave him a standing ovation just for showing up. But beneath that cute reserve is a determined boy, clearly: "I am angry at the inequality we face every day," he said. "I hope to turn my anger into action."
> Neil Patrick Harris seems like a guy who hasn't thought twice about being gay in 10 years, except for the brief flurry of attention it garnered for a few weeks last fall. He's just clearly confident and comfortable and happy, and now I desperately want his talk show hosting dreams to come true!

Neil Patrick Harris makes it look easy: Our exclusive interview
AE: Given your whole career arc and your career come back and then coming out, what would it mean personally to you to win the Emmy for How I Met Your Mother? When I talked with Bryan Fuller, he said it would really mean a lot to him. Is that how it is for you?
NPH: I’m generally content with the nomination, but I don’t know. It’s a weird thing to declare someone a winner quote-unquote when everyone is working so hard. I couldn’t love my career path more right now. I’m getting to do a lot of different types of jobs simultaneously – and mostly because I love doing them. And people are responding to Dr. Horrible, to the Fairy Shoe Person [on Sesame Street], to Regis and Kelly, and I guess because I’ve been working in this business for so long, winning would be a nice icing on the cake just because I think I have a bit of perspective that I probably wouldn’t have if this was my second year in the business.
AE: It seems to me just surviving in Hollywood as long as you have is equal to a shelf full of Emmys.
NPH: That’s kind of how I feel. I’m just really grateful and lucky that I get to keep existing in this business and existing by way of working as opposed to just being around the scene. So I love the process of making all of this. Being on set at the Sesame Workshop was one of the great things of last year for me. Getting just to work with Joss Whedon [on Dr. Horrible] for six days renegade-style was just unbelievable. Every week getting these new scripts and seeing what Barney Stinson gets to say and do is like a constant Christmas present. Things are swell.

Always wanted to ask
Is "duh" used by the Americans the same as 'da'('yes' in Russian)?
"duh" - a sarcastic response used when someone states the obvious
Wikipedia: duh
Duh is an American English slang exclamation that is used to express disdain for someone missing the obviousness of something. For example, if one read a headline saying "Scientific study proves pain really does hurt" or "New reports show death is bad for one's health", the response might be "Well, duh !"
Word Origin: duh
In 1963, the New York Times Magazine explained the usefulness of this little word: "A favorite expression is 'duh.'... This is the standard retort used when someone makes a conversational contribution bordering on the banal. For example, the first child says, 'The Russians were first in space.' Unimpressed, the second child replies (or rather grunts), 'Duh.'"
Marlon Brando wasn't straight.
Duh!

Jake's skits were better.
"Settle down, cowboys." That naturally did nothing to help people chill out, though they eventually hushed up long enough for him to award Jen the coolest straight chick prize.
Ah, good old times.
I gather 'duh' and 'da' sound identically and mean the same thing.
Why are they not writing it 'da' in English?!
^^It has more impact written as "duh"; it's a rude, offensive and pejorative term, imitative of the response of the so-called "slow witted". I noticed this was omitted from the explanation above. It's called an "Americanism", slang that other cultures would likely not know about, leave it to rude Americans to come up with it, they know more and better than anyone else, didn't you know? Other cultures, please don't imitate our ugly American failings. Thank you! :)
^^So the origins of that word are an insult to someone less fortunate, and like most things in a hurried, impolite society, has become so commonly used it's lost it's impact and original meaning, and is now considered the "norm" and an "acceptable" part of the vernacular. Noone knows exactly how intelligent the people who hurl that phrase around really are tho. ;)
Other cultures, please don't imitate our ugly American failings.
I'll try, but can't make any promises :)

Jessica Biel, Catherine Keener Praise Director David O. Russell, Decide Not To Punch Him
It’s probably fair to say that more people know David O. Russell as the hothead narcissist George Clooney punched, than as the gifted filmmaker who directed George Clooney in “Three Kings.” But, then, that’s what happens I suppose, when you also a) verbally abuse a beloved actress in your movie to the point of inciting a mental breakdown and b) make a movie without the money to finish it.
But while the fate of that movie, “Nailed,” may be called into question, the behavior of Russell can’t be, stars of the flick told MTV News, painting a very different picture of the director than what’s appeared in most recent stories.
“He’s wonderful,” Catherine Keener said.
“I love him,” co-star Jessica Biel echoed. “He pulled such a bizarre cool interesting performance out of everyone. It was quite an interesting experience. David was amazing.”
What’ll be equally interesting, no doubt, is how the final film, a political satire Keener called “a screwball comedy” about the adventures of a brain damaged waitress in Washington D.C winds up, given the massive delays and stoppages in production.
“That was the only really sh–ty part. The shutdowns were killing us,” Biel said.
But if there’s a silver lining, it’s that the stoppages have inspired an attitude of perseverance in the cast, Keener insisted.
“This felt like it was happening despite all of the obstacles,” she said. “It felt like us against the man. We were like — you cannot shut us down!”

“He’s wonderful,” Catherine Keener said. “I love him,” co-star Jessica Biel echoed.

Freelancer revises Heath Ledger video lawsuit
A magazine freelancer suing two photographers and a paparazzi agency over a video that purportedly shows Heath Ledger doing drugs has amended her lawsuit to downplay her role as a reporter. The revisions come less than a month after a Los Angeles Superior Court judge frequently cited her profession in dismissing most of the woman's claims.
The lawsuit focuses on a tape that was allegedly made hours after the 2006 Screen Actors Guild Awards, which Ledger had attended as a nominee in a best actor category for his role in "Brokeback Mountain."
The revised suit is seeking unspecified damages, destruction of the video and the profits of the tape's sale. The new complaint alleges fraud, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligence and six other claims. The original lawsuit featured 12 claims, 11 of which were dismissed. Judge John S. Wiley Jr. cited the woman's assignment in his reasoning for invalidating several of the initial claims. He said the woman, identified only as Jane Doe, rented a hotel room at the Chateau Marmont as part of her job. She was on assignment for People magazine.
The amended lawsuit filed Thursday, however, states that the woman's assignment was only to observe the "Brokeback Mountain" and "Capote" afterparties at the hotel that night. The suit claims she was not authorized to conduct one-on-one interviews with any celebrities. According to the amended suit, Ledger agreed to go back to the woman's hotel room after he was befriended at the afterparty by two men who worked for Splash News & Picture Agency. The freelancer had brought one of the men to the party as her date but did not invite the other Splash employee, the lawsuit states.
The woman was "excited and almost could not believe that she was going to 'hang out' with the person who was nominated for a SAG award," the lawsuit states. The woman did not identify herself as a reporter to Ledger, nor did the Splash News paparazzi, according to the lawsuit. Ronald Makarem, an attorney representing the photographers and Splash News, said Friday he had not seen the revised lawsuit and declined to comment.
The existence of the tape was not revealed until after Ledger's death from an accidental prescription drug overdose earlier this year. "Entertainment Tonight" and its sister show "The Insider" scrapped plans to air the footage, but it later surfaced online.
The lawsuit states it may have generated more than $1 million in revenues. Wiley tentatively dismissed several of the lawsuit's claims Sept. 3, saying that the woman's brief appearance on the video did not make it valuable.
The judge also sided with defense attorneys, who argued that the woman could not make many of her claims on behalf of Ledger. "The tape's valuable because of Heath Ledger, not because of Jane Doe," Wiley said.

Sarah Palin: John McCain's Mouth Says Yes, But His Body Says No
John McCain was on 60 Minutes tonight and, naturally, the Arizona senator was asked about the foreign and economic policy "experience" of his running mate, Governor Sarah Palin. While McCain can't find anything to recommend her on either point other than her experience cutting taxes (which might have paid for too many rape kits), he says picked her because it's "what's best for the country." But is it? When asked if he can see Palin serving as President, McCain begins shaking his head "no, no, no" even as his lips are saying "absolutely, absolutely, absolutely." Which McCain should we believe?

George Michael Arrested in Yet Another Public Toilet
Interesting forum comment:
"This is not unusual behavior in the gay world. Not at all. I know tons of gay men who love park and toilet sex - I think its a combination of liking the thrill, plus, for many gay men who grew up before anyone came out in high school, the parks and toilets and peep shows and porno theaters/book stores were where they learned everything about sex- how to go about getting, what to do, the "courting" ritual and all that - things their straight counterparts could do more in the open. Dating is what straight kids were encouraged to do; not gays. A lot of gay men continue to seek sex in this way into adulthood. I think a lot of it has to do with with seediness of it, the secrecy, thrill of being bad, shame, etc. Then you add drugs into the fold and all hell breaks loose. I am sure he was doing more than drugs in the toilets; he most likely has fused drug use and anonymous sex. I sort of feel bad for him, but help is out there if he wants it.
I don't know, I am just grateful I was always to much of a scaredy cat of getting caught to get seek sex this way. Plus, it really does give us all a bad name. There are established places gay men can go to seek each other out for sex; I am not sure why so many want to do it in a public place where they risk the chance of getting caught as well as infringing on the rights of people who have legitimate use for the restrooms, parks, etc."
I gather 'duh' and 'da' sound identically and mean the same thing.
Why are they not writing it 'da' in English?!
For clarification sorry no, they're not pronounced the same nor do they mean the same.
The difference in pronunciation is the same as the difference between duck and dock. Leave off the k, and hold the vowel longer. Duh. Dah. If you say da instead of duh, people will not understand.
In terms of meaning, da means yes, while duh means "everybody knows that and it is foolish to even mention it." It's meant to be humorously very slightly insulting. Not the same as da.
infringing on the rights of people who have legitimate blah blah blah

I've noticed that I use English swearwords and bad words because somehow they don't sound so bad in English. I would never use them for posts in my native language. (English brings out the worst in me. LOL)

Well, DUH!

I'm just trying to be very clear :)
Neil Patrick Harris & David Burtka: 2008 Emmy Red Carpet
You might have noticed that our red carpet Emmy coverage has been female oriented and that's just because let's face it--guys are going to be wearing tuxedos, unless they veer drastically from the program and decide that they're going to be the one man who successfully managed to pull off a bolo tie on the red carpet.
But Neil Patrick Harris and his longtime boyfriend David Burtka made such a handsome couple on the red carpet that I really thought we had to show you guys pictures of these two. In case you hadn't noticed, we love him here. How could you not? He's Doogie Howser for goodness' sake!
All of our Emmy coverage is featured here!

There's A Butchie In Your Lap
HoHan doesn't need to worry about photographers getting pictures of her flappy honey ham crotch curtains anymore, because SamRo is there to shield their cameras. That's what butch girlfriends are for. And while she's down there, she might as well as tongue flick on HoHan's matchstick.
The back alleyway version of Rojo Caliente and Cynthia Nixon cuddled for the cameras at TV Guide's after-Emmy party in Los Angeles last night. HoHan looks like a New Jersey morning-shift stripper desperately trying to look extra classy for a family wedding, but I can forgive her. She topped the look off with a baby dyke and that is the must-have accessory of the year.
I just wish SamRo would stop making those Guido douche faces! It looks like she's queefing and farting at the same time. It's not hot. She obviously wants to be on Hot Chicks with Douchebags AGAIN!

"Now you listen to me (Alma), you don't know nothin' about it."
Alma is practical. Craig's List and Manhunt are good alternatives.
You been to Craig's List, Jack? I heard what they got on Craig's List for boys like you. . .
You don't agree with "plus, it really does give us [gays] all a bad name"?
No, absolutely not. If a heterosexual robs a bank, or has premarital sex, does that give all straight people a bad name?
You should take a look 12:59 PM.

Homosexuals are the minority so maybe that's the reason why some of them feel that "improper" sexual behavior makes them all look bad.
"This is why they hate us" is a common phrase on DL.

Well, DUH!
I will say this only once - I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE CRAIGSLIST!
Craigslist is a central network of online communities, featuring free online classified advertisements (with jobs, internships, housing, personals, erotic services, for sale/barter/wanted, services, community, gigs, resume, and pets categories) and forums on various topics. The service was founded in 1995 by Craig Newmark for the San Francisco Bay Area.
Lance Bass Talks Marriage, Kids and Same-Sex Dancing
Lance Bass wouldn't mind dancing with a man on a reality competition show, but he doesn't think ABC's Dancing With the Stars is the right place for fancy same-sex footwork. "I think it would be so silly that it would just overshadow everything else going on," Bass tells me. "It would just be like making fun of something. But if it was another show with all guys dancing and all girls dancing, that's a different story. I think that's sexy." He adds with a laugh, "I should pitch that."
I caught up with Bass just before his practice earlier today at a West Hollywood dance studio with his DWTS partner Lacey Schwimmer. What else did he have to say? Read on to find out...
Hard to believe, but Bass is the first openly gay dancer—professional or celebrity—to appear on DWTS. "I think it's so important for me to do this," he says. "But my biggest concern is I just hope it doesn't hurt the gay community in any way because, you know, we definitely can be scrutinized and picked apart. I definitely feel a responsibility of making sure I represent well."
But he has other reasons for doing the show. During 'N Sync's reign as one of music's top boy bands, Bass says he was ridiculed by his bandmates for being the group's worst dancer. "The guys always told me how terrible of a dancer I am, so I kind of just wanted to prove to myself that I could learn something crazy," he say. "Also my grandmother and mother love the show, so I wanted to do something for them."
With countless hours now spent rehearsing—DWTS has a three-night premiere starting Sept. 22—the 29-year-old Bass is one tired puppy. His boyfriend Sebastian Leal isn't too happy about it, because "he really wants to learn" the dances, Bass says. "But we haven't had time. When I go home, all I wanna do is just sleep and eat."
Bass did, however, make sure to find the time (and the energy, for that matter) to appear on Saturday night at event producer Tom Whitman's West Hollywood fundraiser for No on 8, a campaign to fight a November ballot that would ban same-sex marriage in California. "I'm definitely not political," Bass explains. "But I know what's right and wrong, and I know that's wrong. So I'm going to speak up about it. It's just common sense."
He imagines he'll marry and have kids some day. "I think everyone dreams of that nice romantic wedding," he says. "And I love kids. I want to adopt and I want to have my own."
E! Online
Responsibility for representing the gay community, No on 8 fundraiser, marriage and kids ... I'm impressed.
Brokeback ‘Irritation’
The author of the famous gay cowboy story that the movie Brokeback Mountain was based on says the story is a “source of constant irritation” in her life. Apparently her porn addled fans keep sending her re-writes of the lurid tale made even more lurid with amped up porn scenes added. To many in the gay community, Brokeback Mountain is insufficiently “gay” enough. Apparently, these people want it to be a wild tale of cowboy queens in everyone’s face infused with wild abandon. Instead of what the author wanted it to be, these people want it to be more akin to some San Francisco Gay Pride parade writ literati.
Author Annie Prouix told the Wall Street Journal that she is sick of the whole thing.
She told The Wall Street Journal: “There are countless people out there who think the story is open range to explore their fantasies and to correct what they see as an unbearably disappointing story. “They constantly send ghastly manuscripts and pornish rewrites of the story to me, expecting me to reply with praise and applause for ‘fixing’ the story. “Brokeback Mountain has had little effect on my writing life, but is the source of constant irritation in my private life.”
I find this a perfect illustration of how gay activists don’t want to be considered “normal” and don’t want to be just left alone to “do their thing.” They want everything to be as over the top as possible. They cannot even accept a little novella that came to their support as the author intended. No, instead of subtle, they want over-the-top, in-your-face flamboyance.
Isn’t such an obsession unhinged, not normal?

Transgender woman wins groundbreaking sex discrimination suit brought by ACLU: "A federal district court judge in Washington, D.C., ruled today that the Library of Congress discriminated against Diane Schroer when it offered her a job and then rescinded it after learning she was transgendered...Other courts that have considered the issue have said Congress only intended for the anti-discrimination statute to protect men and women, but not people who change their sex, the ACLU said."
"Did you see the Sarah Palin interview on ABC? This state trooper from Alaska says that Palin lied in the interview. She lied on national television. I'd say someone's ready for the White House!"

DVD review: Zodiac Director's Cut
When the history books remember the best films of 2007, There Will Be Blood and No Country For Old Men will be at the forefront by virtue of their victories at the Oscars. Quite how Zodiac missed out — not even scoring a single nomination — remains a miscarriage of cinematic justice akin to Ordinary People beating Taxi Driver to Best Picture. At the very least, Zodiac should have won for special effects (witness the supplementary featurette for an insight into the seamless digital work involved throughout, from adding blood to creating entire city blocks), although this extraordinary film deserved much more.
A triumph from David Fincher, who reined in his usual stylistic flourishes to present a simple, disciplined, study of the serial killer who terrorised the San Francisco Bay area during the late 60s and 70s but was never caught, Zodiac is a densely detailed police procedural, a meticulous, near obsessive examination of the murders and the subsequent investigation by San Francisco Chronicle cartoonist Robert Graysmith (Gyllenhaal) and homicide detective David Toschi (Ruffalo) that includes virtually every frustration, misstep and dead end, but which goes so far as to identify a prime suspect whose guilt is debated on the accompanying ‘His Name Was Arthur Leigh Allen’ documentary. It’s a movie about obsession, too, and its consequences: particularly for Graysmith, whose two books about the Zodiac form the basis for the script, but also Fincher. Raised in Marin County, just across the bay from San Francisco, Zodiac was the bogeyman of his youth, and he spent three years checking every piece of evidence, tracking down every living person involved in the case to figure out “the closest thing to the truth” before shooting began.
This Director’s Cut is four minutes longer than the theatrical, with just a handful of new scenes, among them an audacious sequence where the screen goes black for a full minute and we hear a music montage that marks the passage of four years. Fincher shot Zodiac on HiDef, and the result, at the cinema, was astounding. Disappointingly on DVD, the picture appears a shade muddy and soft. Blu-Ray, clearly, is the way to go. Nevertheless, the film’s forensic attention to detail carries over to the extras which are both bountiful and a boon. Fincher’s typically measured and erudite commentary is again essential for anyone interested in the art of filmmaking; while the second, spliced together from separate chats with Gyllenhaal and Downey, and another with screenwriter James Vanderbilt, producer Brad Fischer, and novelist and “fan” James Elroy, makes for hugely entertaining listening.
The impressive behind-the-scenes documentary ‘Zodiac Deciphered’ reveals Fincher’s Kubrick-like quest for perfection, whether shooting 36 takes of Gyllenhaal tossing a notebook onto a car seat, helicoptering in trees to recreate a murder site exactly, or insisting on changing one line of thread in an executioner’s mask. Even better is the stellar feature-length ‘This Is The Zodiac Speaking’, a disquieting chronicle of the murders featuring crime scene photos, vintage news footage and interviews with many of those involved in the case, as well as surviving victims, Bryan Hartwell and Michael Mageau, all of whose lives seem forever altered. Sadly, there’s no contribution from Toschi or his SFPD partner Bill Armstrong. That minor quibble aside, this is a monumental package for what Elroy terms “a luminous work of art”.
Extras: Commentary by director David Fincher; Commentary by Jake Gyllenhaal, Robert Downey Jr, screenwriter James Vanderbilt, producer Brad Fischer and novelist James Elroy; ‘Zodiac Deciphered’ documentary; ‘The Visual Effects Of Zodiac’ featurette; ‘Previsualisation’ featurette; ‘This Is The Zodiac Speaking’ documentary; ‘Prime Suspect: His Name Was Arthur Leigh Allen’ documentary

Good, I love commentaries but a gag reel would be even better!

Dancing With the Stars Returns: Lance Kills It, Brooke and Toni Strut, Jeff and Rocco Stumble
Dancing With the Stars kicked off its three-night seventh-season premiere extravaganza tonight, with all the sequins, tuxes, pre-dance jitters, trips to the emergency room and Bruno Tonioli metaphors that such an endeavor entails.
Lance Bass: First off, there was some butt-kicking choreography from former So You Think You Can Dance finalist Lacey Schwimmer, a welcome addition to the pro fold and Hough's main rival for resident hot young thang. As for Bass… Worst dancer in 'N Sync, our foot. The 29-year-old popster fulfilled all of his boy-band potential and more, instantly becoming a front-runner by acing a technically complicated, hot 'n sexy cha-cha right off the bat. They should have received a 24, but Len Goodman is a fuddy-duddy.
Judges said: 22 ("A cha-cha-cha for now!" Bruno declared.)
