Gyllenspoon-Fed Merde

October 22, 2008

Dear Ted:
What's this you said in the last Truth, Lies & Ted about my favorite actor of all time, Paul Newman? You were talking about what a shame it would be if sham couple Jake and Reese tried to make like a "modern-day Paul and Joanne." I'll still love him anyway, but tell me one of H'wood's greatest love stories ain't a sham! Love you and your bitchin' bitchiness.
—Lauren, Chicago

Dear Newman's Own Fan:
No fakery we know of betwixt Paul and his longtime sweetie. Meant it would be heresy if J&R played house like those two, 'cause they ain't nothing like the real thing.


Dear Ted:
Are Reese and Jake the new TomKat? I think robot-boyfriend Jake is the new Katie.
—Gray

Dear GyllenKat:
I think they're both robots.

Morning Piss: Gyllenspoon-Fed Merde

J'adore Reese and Jake. Those sweethearts are two of the most talented, adorable and luscious babes to hit T-town in some time.

Don't agree?

Think Reese is just a pixie-ish little waif with pale sex appeal? Think again. And if you consider Jake all boyish 'n' bashful brooding, no real outward he-man stuff goin' down, think again on that score, as well. R 'n' J are both terrifically not of what you see in real life.

And this whole aw-shucks romance they've got going down is so not how both types really are — why in the world the public is lapping it up, hook, line and photo-op, is beyond me.

Just look at their pics together, everybody! They act like bro 'n' sis (and not even particularly close ones, at that). These babes have movies and careers and agendas to sell, oldest story in the world. Jen and Vince, anyone?

Ms. W is the craftiest broad alive; she's teaching J.G. spectacularly well. Just ask Ryan Phillippe if you don't believe this to be a high probability. But on the other hand, if this sorta white-bread, milquetoast romance is what you need to get your fantasy on every morning, then, dears, go right ahead, be my limp guest.

I just prefer my Awful readers to be fully informed consumers, that's all.

OK! magazine cover critique:

"My immediate reactions:

Not the best picture of Reese Witherspoon. (Is she starting to look like Madonna or is that just me?)

What a strange headline?!? (Back on Top)

It appears like this is a trade cover at first glance vs a celebrity weekly. The dek saves it a little but I’m not sure if the main line will grab the average newsstand buyer.

Many readers do like Reese but not so sure how much they care about her relationship with Jake.

Reese Witherspoon doesn’t sell like she used to.

I also recall reading all over the place that Reese isn’t ready to get married again.

So, this cover comes out of left field for me.

On the positive side, it’s a positive cover. And it’s the time of the year that readers will reach for good news."

Toothy Tile, the rising young male star who secretly likes boys, is creating quite the media sitch. Not only am I told by same-sex inside sources that Mr. T. is still speaking with media representatives about coming out of the closet (much to the dissatisfaction of T.T.'s ten-percent crowd)...

It was a big mistake hooking up with Reese in whatever form. He's so stupid, and all the consecutive bahaviour mistakes he made I attribute to Reeke. I'm pretty cool, in the truest sense of the word, towards Jake now, but I do not hope "Reeke" is also bad for his career. I don't wish him bad after all.

In this ep, the gang learns a new way to get their dates to sleep with them after Ted (Josh Radnor) walks in on Robin’s (Cobie Smulders) date sitting naked on the couch. Barney (Harris) takes on the challenge: “If a date is going bad, you strip naked and this will help you get the girl into bed. It’s guaranteed to work 2/3 of the time.”

Florida Gay Adoption Ban Overturned

Miami Dade Circuit Judge Cindy Lederman ruled Tuesday there was "no rational basis" for prohibiting gays from adopting children. Openly gay father Martin Gill will be able to keep custody of the two foster children he has cared for since 2004. The state will appeal the decision.

Gill took two half-brothers into his North Miami home after a child abuse investigator asked for his help. While the arrangement was supposed to be temporary, the state was unable to place the children elsewhere and Gil became their de facto guardian. When Gill petitioned to adopt the children, the state, which has one of the strictest anti-gay adoption laws of the country, hauled Mr. Gill to court.

While Florida allows same-sex couples to foster children, it doesn't allow them to adopt. Today's decision overturns that law for now, but the ultimate fate of the Gill family remains up in the air until the appeal is settled.

"No Rational Basis"– You mean it makes no sense that the state would allow gay people to take care of foster kids for years at a time as their legal guardian but prevent them from adopting those kids? "No Rational Basis". Yeah, that sounds about right. In fact, "no rational basis" nicely sums up the entire argument against giving gays and lesbians the same rights as straight people, be it the right to adopt or the right to marry.

At what point does "You can foster the kid, but you can't adopt" or "You can be in a union, but you can not marry" stop being treated like justifiable arguments and more like the homophobic semantics designed to deprive citizens of equal rights that they are? Well, in Florida, on at least one issue, that answer is "Today."

FC review:

“You’ll Want to Skip Christmas after ‘Four Christmases’

Oh Reese Witherspoon, you poor thing. Have things gotten that bad? Has Jake Gyllenhaal warped your good taste in movie roles? After all, you did just win an Oscar a few years ago. I am going to go out on a limb and deduce that the creators of “Four Christmases” slipped you some hard drugs before they handed you the script.
...
Talk about a waste of a great cast. .. Witherspoon actually remains rather blank throughout the entire thing, as if she’s been kidnapped and lobotomized by the scientology folks (leave her be, Tom Cruise, you have Katie!) and Witherspoon and Vaughn have no chemistry on-screen. Surprisingly, Vince Vaughn does walk away with some funny moments. In a movie like this, it is clear he has a wonderful and warm comedic presence that can still shine through even the worst of films.
Still, it’s Seth Gordon’s pedestrian direction and Matt Allen’s witless script that makes this a true Thanksgiving turkey. Let’s face it, without this all-star cast, “Four Christmases” would have been a made for TV movie. Maybe that wouldn’t have been too bad. At least then it could mildly amuse us without stealing our ten dollars.”

George Clooney Hazes Hugh Jackman in Late-Night Call

The newly minted Sexiest Man Alive has many fans – but Clooney is not one of them!

As PEOPLE's newly crowned Sexiest Man Alive, Hugh Jackman has been inundated with congratulatory phone calls. But when a certain two-time winner got on the line, it was time for some hard-core hazing.

"George Clooney rang me at two in the morning," Jackman told PEOPLE Monday at the Australia premiere in New York City. "I was half asleep and I said to him, 'Ah, George sweetie, good to hear from you.' "

But this was not a courtesy call. "He goes, "Shut up, Jackman!' " the Aussie actor jokingly recounted. "[He said,]'I know what you did! You started this big campaign that's been going on and [you] took the title away from me.' "

"I thought that was unnecessary," Jackman deadpanned.

The Wolverine star has also been getting a ribbing from his friends and family. "My old man traveled over with me and we landed in America ... and all of sudden we were stopped at the airport and saw the Sexiest Man Alive magazine and everyone is talking about it," the actor said. "My father found it really uncomfortable."

"[My dad] said to me, 'I can't really talk to you about being sexy. It's a little weird,' " Jackman recalled. "Mind you, I'm still waiting for the birds and the bees pitch from him. That hasn't happened either!"

“'Four Christmases

Rating: 1 star (poor)

Question for Reese Witherspoon: Do you employ an agent, or a manager? Is this the best romantic comedy you could find?

Question for Vince Vaughn: Do you employ an agent, or a manager? Is this the best romantic comedy you could find?

The acrid, wince-worthy "Four Christmases" may well be part of the war on Christmas Bill O'Reilly's always fog-horning about. Christmas and Christianity will survive it. But barely...

... Eighty-two minutes—that's not very long. Yet when you're not laughing time becomes cruelly relative, and here the slapstick is eerily unfunny, whether it's Vaughn tumbling off a roof while messing with a satellite dish, or Witherspoon—whose timing and charm are wasted on a nothing role—getting trapped in an inflatable bounce-house with a bunch of venal preteens.”

I do have to agree that this role is beneath Reese. I have no idea what Jake's and Reese's shared management is thinking - they are ruining their careers to make them appeal to a majority, to line their own pockets probably. What ever happened to doing a quality film? Even if Australia veers into melodrama too much (I like that anyway) it's still ten times more my cup of tea than what those awful previews of 4xmases showed. Lainey's been rather quiet about it too - a little bashing of Australia, but she's got to give the divine Hugh is due. :)

Gyllenhaal Parents -- Forget Brokeback, Just Broke

You'd think with a couple of A-list actor spawn, the Gyllenhaal parents would be living comfortably. You'd be wrong.

According to divorce docs obtained by TMZ, Stephen Gyllenhaal and Naomi Foner are in deep financial troubles. Foner, who is a screenwriter, claims she had to take out a loan during the writer's strike because she doesn't make much money otherwise.

Foner says that throughout their marriage, the couple accumulated debt -- including mortgage payments, home equity lines of credit against their two homes, several credit cards and "various other outstanding loans."

The couple separated back in January, but as recently as September Naomi complained to Stephen about their finances, to which he allegedly responded, "I have been clear that worse comes to worse I will let all of this collapse into ruin, just as I believe letting the markets crash and burn are the right approach." Sounds like something the Joker would say, right?

"It's becoming clearer by the day that Reese is doing all this tabloid/Reeke nonsense because she's on her way down to being a C level actress"

Both Reese and Jake are having major career problems right now. If Jake didn't have PoP, he'd be in serious trouble. Three films postponed, one until 2010, and another on its way to DVD. I don't see any firm commitments to anything else. All that we have are rumors, nothing more. Zodiac and Rendition tanked, although they were both brilliant, and he did a great job in each.

Reese has larger problems professionally. At least Jake got good scripts after his Oscar. Reese is getting dogmeat movie scripts, and she's isn't performing well in the movies once they are completed. What's next? Another pathetic rom-com with Ben Stiller and an animated film in which she will be heard but not seen. If only we could do the same thing in life - hear her but not see her. So, instead of seeing her in great movie roles, she's appearng in every gossip rag on the planet for staged photoshoots and vaporous, manipulative interviews. She's 'Walking the Line' alright, straight into mediocrity.

So, they are both suffering, both professionally and personally. Bearding arrangements work best when both parties are motivated.

If you are not with him when he goes to bed or wakes up, how would you know? If you are gay and he's boinking you is one thing, but if you are gay and just want him to be also is a fairytale. Sure most people here thinks he's gay with just the look of Laker pictures, but years of Pictures with Kirsten is not enough for you? Over a year of pictures with Reese is not enough for you. Why is it so hard to believe that the man may like &^%%$ and &^%$, better said, both sexes. I believe Clooney likes men more but dates women with occasional sex.

Of the 20 million Jake made 10 million was paid in taxes. Then he paid approximately 4 million to his agent and manager with some left over for the assistant.

All we know for sure is that since the Chin is in London for the next few days, we will be overdosed on Reeke photo shoots. Reese not only has to divert attention that the kids are with Ryan, but she also has to distract the horrendous reviews of her sucky movie. I'm guess that by Monday, we'll all be so disgusted by Jake and his Reeke pap parade all weekend that we might not even be fans of his anymore.

Adorably, they were both dressed in hoodies and tees with jeans and sneakers, aww! (And Recio appears to be holding foreign currency.)

Sweet! :)

..... It's Simple! If you are NOT and insider of Jake's life how the **** would you know? If you are not with him when he goes to bed or wakes up, how would you know?

I'm none of the above posters but I'm really really getting tired of this "if you are not under the bed, how do u know" argument that keeps popping out now and then. If that's the point of view we're to take, then we don't know if he's gay/bi/straight. We don't even know if he's toothy tile. So, what are you doing on this blog??

Ouch! It must be hard to be an actor and subject to so much criticism. At first, I thought Reeke was mutually beneficial, but now I wonder if Jake is supposed to help her shine brighter. I can't see it helping him too much. But then, Jen Anniston never did this when she broke up with Brad, or did she?

Anonymous said...

It is mutually beneficial but Reese is in charge and Jake's role is to "to help her shine brighter".

Jake is Reese's marketing tool.

The Chin was supposed to be on KCAL Los Angeles morning show today to promote 4 Xmas, she apparently cancelled at the last minute, as Gillian Barbeari said" because she would'nt go live, even when we submitted the questions in advance and promised not to ask about her romantic involvement with Jake Gyllenhaal, but we love Resse anyway." What a load of Phoneywood BS.. They were obviously pissed off. Why play coy about a "romance" noone is buying to promote a moving noone will buy tickest to see. I just don't get their management's strategy.

"I just don't get their management's strategy."
Being that The Chin is a huge control freak, I would say that all final decisions are made by her. Therefore, their strategy right now is to do damage control. Why give a live interview to promote a movie that has been raked over the coals by every critic that's seen it. Her performance was critized as bad and to compound her misery, she said in an interview that she and Vince rewrote the script everyday and they are totally responsible for the movie.

So, what are you doing on this blog??

hold up there now. I have an opinion and it just happens to be different than yours, ok. I do believe that Jake is the TT that Ted or Mr. Bibby is/was talking about, but why do you or others convenietly disregard the FACT that at the beginning of the toothytile drama Ted said that he was coming out as bisexual? Now don't continue to throw facts that you only want to remember at me or others. And, if Jake is TT (and I believe he is) and gay that would be fine. But my feel from what I have seen points to the man being bisexual. Period. Now you can fall apart all you want because that's the way I see it, and I've been following from now and then shortly after Ted's TT started......

ALIEN CONCEPT

SOME roles just don't suit Natalie Portman (above). At the junket for the film version of his "Doubt," playwright John Patrick Shanley was asked how Amy Adams won the role of an emotionally conflicted nun. "I'm trying to think of what the etiquette is on this," Shanley chuckled, blushing a bit. Urged on by a blogger for gossipsauce.com, he continued, "Well, we asked Natalie Portman, and Natalie was very interested but kept saying she had a problem. And we finally nailed down as to what the problem was. She basically said she didn't understand celibacy."

HEADED FOR RUIN

THE parents of Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal are broke. The spend-now, pay-later life has caught up to Stephen Gyllenhaal and estranged wife Naomi Foner. "I have repeatedly asked Stephen to pay his one-half share of our bills, and he has refused to do so," Foner claims in LA divorce papers published yesterday by TMZ.com. Foner also filed an e-mail from her ex in which he advocates bankruptcy: "I have been clear that if worse comes to worse, I will let all of this collapse into ruin, just as I believe letting the markets crash and burn [is] the right approach. Pain now for clarity and balance later."

She's did Letterman today at 6:00 p.m.

Posted on OMG

Okay, I had to watch. Don't ask me why. I should've been asleep. You know, at first Reese came across as cute & all, but after awhile it seems like she doesn't know what to say, how to answer questions. Some of the strangest stuff comes out of her mouth. And after awhile, she starts to get this sour like curl to her mouth.

2 things:

1, Yeah, kind of cute stories & mentions of her children. They make her sound like just the ideal mom. But she says she takes her kids to Rome & Paris (I love how Dave Letterman seemed to think that was an odd place to take little children, Paris) for family vacations but then when Deacon wanted to go see the sewer, she comments that she "let the nanny take him". And the way she talked about her kids playing with/dressing up her Oscar. Right. Unless she was speaking tongue in cheek. I suppose that's possible.

2) And then, you know if this was a year ago, around Rendition time, the big elephant in the studio between her & Dave Letterman last night would have been understandable. Her & Jake's "coyness" about their relationship. But give me a break. It's been a year since then. She's been trumpeted all over the rags in the past month, "admitting" to this new "relationship" and the New Man in her Life. So why on earth would you have the subject not be allowed to be brought up in an interview? Like everyone on earth doesn't know? Is it supposed to be coy? Is it supposed to be private? No. It's just plain ridiculous & annoying at this point.

I suppose there's nothing to tell, about a non existent relationship. LOL

Tears for Heath Ledger at GQ Men of the Year Awards

THE proud father of actor Heath Ledger, Kim Ledger, reduced Sydney's usually stoic social set to tears at last night's GQ Men of the Year Awards as he accepted the best actor prize for his late son.

The Perth-based businessman told of his pride in his "beautiful boy", accepting the award on behalf of "his little one, Matilda, and our family".

Honoured for his performance as The Joker in The Dark Knight, the late actor's memory outshone other winners, including Hugh Jackman and Baz Lurhmann, who were both in New York for the Australia premiere.

Ledger senior told Confidential his son considered The Joker role as his "best yet". "He thrived everyday on set, humoured and sometimes intimidated the cast, but revelled in this opportunity to create and deliver a unique character ... and that he did," he said.

Jackman, 40, took the title of People's Choice Man Of The Year, backing up from People magazine's sexiest man alive last week.

The 2008 GQ Men of the Year Award winners are:

Actor of the Year: Heath Ledger

Sportsman of the Year: Matthew Mitcham

'LAW' & LEDGER

"LAW & Order" has ripped another local story from the headlines. A series insider reports an upcoming plot is "supposed to be about Heath Ledger" and features a male supermodel, played by Ryan Locke, who "has a great career and gets all the ladies." Perhaps the eeriest comparison is to Ledger's actual death by overdose when the character "leaves a club with a girl. They have sex and do drugs, and the next morning, his friend finds him dead." ["Law & Order" takes on the crane collapse, too.

In 1934, 10-year-old Gloria was the center of a sensationalized and lurid custody battle.

Her paternal aunt, the very rich and proper Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney, won custody after accusing Gloria's mother of being an unfit parent with the shocking revelation that she had a female lover.

"She really lost the case because she was accused of being a lesbian," says Vanderbilt. "We're talking about the '30s.... It was considered not something that anyone who was a good person would be involved in. And so it was a terrible scandal."

"He Spitefully Refuses to Promote Film

BlindGossip - When a film comes out, the stars usually share the promotional duties. In the case of this film, however, Star 1 has been making the rounds of talk shows, while Star 2 has been conspicuously absent. While Star 2 is claiming that his absense is due to other work obligations, the truth is that the friction between the two was so bad on the set that Star 2 has completely washed his hands of anything to do with the film. Star 1 remains publicly upbeat and supportive of Star 2, but has privately told friends that Star 2 is “the biggest a**hole on the planet,” and that the two will never, ever work together again."

It didn't start after the divorce:

April 27, 2005

"Reese Witherspoon’s former director has confirmed what unnamed sources have long been buzzing: the “Legally Blonde” star was not a lot of fun to work with. Robert Luketic, who’s currently directing the movie version of "Dallas," said that he wouldn’t want Witherspoon to be in the flick. When asked if he would cast Witherspoon in “Dallas,” he replied, “Er, no. Moviemaking is supposed to be fun.”

Luketic also directed Jane Fonda and Jennifer Lopez in "Monster in Law," and despite the latter’s reputation for being a diva, he got along with both. Not so for Witherspoon. “I did not bond with her like I bonded with J-Lo and J-Fo,” Luketic said, according to the London Express. “There is something impenetrable about that woman.”

He claimed that Witherspoon was humorless on the set of the comedy. “She would come out of her trailer and ask: ‘Why are you all laughing?’” he says. “She would want to know why we all had smiles on our faces. Moviemaking to her is a deadly serious business.”

Reese is an odd one. Letterman was getting so bored by the interview he tried to sex it up with his own story and comments. She's brittle, jumpy, making unattractive faces, rubbing her bare arms nervously. Letterman tells her she looks like a movie star, as one tells a girl child she is a princess. Seems very insecure, why she talks about her children all of the time. But without pride or warmth. I dont think that's a farm she got, I think it's a faux ranch, gimme a break. Eeeewwww!

I think VV hates RW completely. It is so unlike him to not promote any film. Also his posse did not attend the premiere not just VV but all his usual gang (Peter, John etc.) show up for these things and they were conspicuously absent. That says it all right there.

After her divorce she was supposed to film Things They Lost in the Fire and Benico Del Toro refused to work with her (and she refused to work with him) the producers kept BDT and ditched Reese. She also lobbied hard for The Changeling the Clint Eastwood film and he supposedly would not meet with her. People in Hollywood know how she is to work with. They know she can bring in the money but some of them don't want to put up with what a pain in the ass she has become (actually she always was one).

Graham N never asks tough questions of his guests anyway, so a trailer of her new film was shown, but much more was made of her old (good) movies. He would not have mentioned bad reviews to any guest, and he must have been warned not to mention Jake.

Giving Thanks for Harvey Milk

Harvey Milk was assassinated 30 years ago today in his SF City Hall office, as was Mayor George Moscone, by fellow supervisor Dan White. Five years ago today I posted THIS item and am gratified that in 2008 many more people are learning Milk's story.

11/27/2003

Today I give thanks for the life work of Harvey Milk on the anniversary of his death. He was shot and killed 25 years ago this day by San Francisco city supervisor Dan White, who also shot and killed Mayor George Moscone.

Harvey Milk was known as the "Mayor of Castro Street", a pioneer and leader in every sense of the word, speaking out for the rights of gay people when it was a far more dangerous and rebellious act than it is today. It was a position that eventually cost him his life.

When Milk moved to the Castro and opened a small camera shop it was not the organized gay ghetto that it is today. He started the Castro Street Fair on August 18, 1974 in order to unite the local gay community in defiance of discrimination by the Eureka Valley Merchants Association. It has since become an annual institution. As a sarcastic reaction to the notion that homosexuals recruited people to join their community, he started out his stump speeches with the line, "My name is Harvey Milk and I'm here to recruit you."

In 1977, Harvey Milk became the first openly gay official elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors. He would serve eleven courageous months before being brutally murdered at City Hall in a homophobic attack by supervisor Dan White, who had eluded metal detectors by climbing in through a basement window. White also murdered mayor George Moscone.

In a stunning sentence, White was convicted of two counts of involuntary manslaughter and sentenced to seven years and eight months. The main defense that White's lawyer gave was that he had eaten too much junk food the day of the murders which had somehow influenced his actions. It was labeled by critics as "the twinkie defense." White was paroled after six years and committed suicide soon after.

Milk had been paranoid about a threat of assassination because of his outspoken role in the community and his views on gay rights. On one of many audio tapes that was discovered after his death, on which he had recorded a will, he said:

"If a bullet should enter my brain, let that bullet destroy every closet door."

In my opinion, Harvey Milk has not yet been given his due in history. There are so few younger gay people that know about the extraordinary power and courage this man gave a community and a movement. I recommend that everyone view the incredibly compelling documentary The Times of Harvey Milk. You can rent it at video stores, but it's hard to find a copy for purchase. It's a MUST see. Randy Shilts also wrote a book on the topic.

The Times of Harvey Milk is a film that will stick with you forever. The image of Dianne Feinstein standing before a phalanx of reporters and uttering the news of the murders is gut-wrenching. Were it not for Harvey Milk I am fully convinced the gay rights movement might still be in the dark ages. We certainly wouldn't be on the verge of being able to marry. Long live his memory!

***Uncle Donald's Castro Street is another fascinating read. It's an incredibly engrossing website full of images of gay life in the Castro and memories from the 70's. I was on the site for hours.

Poor gay penguins!

Gay penguins steal eggs from straight couples

A couple of gay penguins are attempting to steal eggs from straight birds in an effort to become "fathers", it has been reported.

The two penguins have started placing stones at the feet of parents before waddling away with their eggs, in a bid to hide their theft.

But the deception has been noticed by other penguins at the zoo, who have ostracised the gay couple from their group. Now keepers have decided to segregate the pair of three-year-old male birds to avoid disrupting the rest of the community during the hatching season.

A keeper at Polar Land in Harbin, north east China explained that the gay couple had the natural urge to become fathers, despite their sexuality. "One of the responsibilities of being a male adult is looking after the eggs. Despite this being a biological impossibility for this couple, the natural desire is still there," a keeper told the Austrian Times newspaper.

"It's not discrimination. We have to fence them separately, otherwise the whole group will be disturbed during hatching time," he added.

There are numerous examples of homosexuality in the animal kingdom, but gay penguins have captured the public's attention more than any other species. A German zoo provoked outrage from gay lobby groups after attempting to mate a group of gay male penguins with Swedish female birds who were flown in especially to seduce them. But the project was abandoned after the males refused to be "turned", showing no interest in their would-be mates.

In 2002 a couple of penguins at a New York zoo who had been together for eight years were "outed" when keepers noticed that they were both males.

I don't understand why she doesn't mention him sometimes. I would be over the moon to have him in my life. Oh, to watch him sleep, dark head on the pillow, dark lashes, smile curving on these heavenly lips, naked body warm under the sheets. To wake him up with a kiss on his mole and to see blue sapphires opening up and looking back at you. Sigh...

Jake baby, who loves you?

Why would she?

Because he's supposed to be the love of her life and a wonderful step dad to her "poor kids". LOL

a) Jake isn't important when she gets a chance to promote herself

b) even a pathological faker like Reese doesn't enjoy discussing the showmance.

Blind items: I guess....you guess....

When a film comes out, the stars usually share the promotional duties. In the case of this film, however, Star 1 has been making the rounds of talk shows, while Star 2 has been conspicuously absent. While Star 2 is claiming that his absence is due to other work obligations, the truth is that the friction between the two was so bad on the set that Star 2 has completely washed his hands of anything to do with the film. Star 1 remains publicly upbeat and supportive of Star 2, but has privately told friends that Star 2 is “the biggest asshole on the planet,” and that the two will never, ever work together again. (Blind Gossip)

Easy! Reese Witherspoon & Vince Vaugh.
