Heath Andrew Ledger
A brief candle; both ends burning
An endless mile; a bus wheel turning
A friend to share the lonesome times
A handshake and a sip of wine
So say it loud and let it ring
We are all a part of everything
The future, present and the past
Fly on proud bird
You're free at last.

«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 800 of 946 Newer› Newest»Kirsten's lady luck
Kirsten Dunst is the latest Hollywood starlet to succumb to the feminine wiles of the fairer sex, after she was spotted making out with a mystery gal pal in a car outside LAX.
Pals of the 26-year-old actress say she hit the switch and made a play for the ladies after a string of lacklustre romances with guys like Jake Gyllenhaal and Johnny Borrell left her feeling cold.
But it seems as if Kirsten isn't a one-woman girl, stepping off her plane in New York straight into the arms of another lucky lass.
"When Kirsten landed in New York, she was met by another new 'gal-pal'," says the insider.

I see woman legs but you can dream LOL
As you can see Jake's (shaved) legs and big feet do fit, including that hollow near his ankle. Can't be sure, but ...

Nice. Kiki kisses girls better than Jake. lol
Mmmmmm yummy! I just added Chris' webpage back. The clam chowder looks great, I'll have to try it. I'll leave out the lamb sausage, but I sometimes cheat and do have bacon. I'll scroll past the squirrels and deer from now on too. ;)
If that story about Kirsten Dunst if true, Reeke's PR must be pulling their hair out. There have been rumours for a long time that Kirsten was bearding for Jake. Some rumous also added that she was also bi. Can you imagine the comments that will show up everytime there's pics of Reeke? And the evil blogs that their PR hates, WFT2 and OMG, will be discussing it at length. Maybe this will finally push Jake to end Reeke cause he realizes that all that PR is not working.
If I recall, there was a similar pic last year if Kiki smooching a chick either in L,A, or NY and I think it was on X17, when women do it it's no big deal as you know.
Jake and his PR could care less about Kiki, too much time has passed.

No kidding!

Yes, we know, Hollywood has no problem with bisexual women.
Bruckheimer talks Prince of Persia film, drops the ‘romantic’ bomb
A portion of a LatinoReview interview with Jerry Bruckheimer…
LR: How big is ‘Prince of Persia’ going to be?
Bruckheimer: As far as the scope of it, it’s enormous. It’s a big romantic adventure.
LR: It’s based on the ‘Sands of Time’ game, the one that came out a few years ago?
Bruckheimer: Yes.
LR: And nothing on the current one that’s out?
Bruckheimer: No. Well, I mean, I shouldn’t say no. I haven’t played the current one. I heard that it got really good reviews.
LR: Will there be a lot of stunts and action scenes that people haven’t seen before? Is it more Parkour, like with the Prince?
Bruckheimer: There’s Parkour, yeah.
LR: A lot of action then. Is this a future franchise, a new ‘Pirates’?
Bruckheimer: You never know. If you’d have asked me this question before, before the first ‘Pirates’ came out I would’ve said that you were nuts and that we just hoped to get this one sold. You don’t know.
Full interview here

"Prince of Persia movie is getting crossed promoted in another Bruckheimer movie, Confessions of a Shopaholic.
According to Bruckheimer, it was his idea to cross promote. He told website Latino Review, "It's funny because I was watching the movie and we had ads for other films and I said, 'Why don't we put our own movies in here.' It's kind of silly to promote someone else's movies." The Prince of Persia bit was CGI'd in about two weeks ago the producer revealed. [Latino Review]
This is what happens when only money talks. Great indeed that someone's film is an advertisement board for future projects. Why include a plot actually, why not just make a full 2 hour trailer with all the new spy gerbil films. Sucks that instead of wooing the romcom audience Reeke has alienated a lot of their fans. I hope this backfires big time but unfortunately people seem to love crap so Jerry will probably get a ton of money and Reeke will go on and on and on and this will prove that for 50 more years nobody should ever come out if they want their film to succeed.
FU Bruckheimer!

Prince of Persia and G-Force Easter Eggs Hidden in Confessions of a Shopaholic
...
"I don’t know that I’d see a film particularly to hunt for commercials secreted away in the flurry like Waldo or Al Hirshfeld’s Ninjas, but then again, I don’t really feel I need any reason at all to see a film other than it being a film in the first place. I think I probably prefer my posters in the foyer or on the web, though, where I can get a good hard look at them without jumping off of my train of thought.
I wonder what Shopaholic director Hogan thinks of all this? Essentially, his film has been hijacked and had advertising rammed right into the middle of it. This might well happen all the time with cans of cola, cell phones and sports cars (and let’s face facts: Shopaholic is going to be crammed with big name labels) but it’s not very often we get a heads up on the product placement weeks before the film comes out. Perhaps it’s that Bruckheimer wants to give us enough for the hype to take hold and for our willingness to be distracted in such a way to build up.
My biggest fear is that these posters won’t be discreet pieces of production design but essentially hijack the edit and get lingering close-ups, or at least take dominant positions in the compositions. That’s not only tasteless, but disrespectful to Hogan, the cast, the crew, the audience and even the movie itself.
I think it’s probably also pretty frustrating to the filmmakers that Bruckheimer is using his discussions about Shopaholic as a platform to throw focus off of that movie and market his entire slate.
Tell me honestly - would you under any circumstances be more likely to see Shopaholic just because this marketing stunt has been pulled? I suspect it makes no difference - all of the movie titles have been given another airing just because of this gimmick and Bruckheimer might already be considering his mission on this front already accomplished."

MARIO TO GORDON: STAY AWAY!
GETTING a reservation at one of Mario Batali's eateries is now even more impossible if your name is Gordon Ramsay.
The beefy "Iron Chef" has prohibited the star of Fox's "Hell's Kitchen," who runs a fancy place at the London NYC Hotel, from entering any of Batali's dining spots, including the Spotted Pig and Babbo, after Ramsay began calling him "Fanta Pants" to make fun of the orange shorts Batali sometimes wears. The effeminate moniker is a nod to the popular brand of orange soda.
"I've banned him from my restaurants," Batali sniffed to London's Guardian. "Ramsay's people call, trying to book tables, and I say no. I won't have him in there."
The feud goes back 18 months to when loudmouth Batali labeled rival Ramsay's culinary fare dull and outdated and said he didn't get New York. Batali says Ramsay retaliated by making up the nickname, which he sneakily spread behind his back.
"Gordon bugs me . . . Now he goes about town calling me Fanta Pants," Batali fumed. He notes the ban could be lifted, "If [Gordon] called me himself and said, 'Let's sit down for a drink.' I'm sure it would be fine. We'd be cool. But right now it's not cool."
Ramsay's rep tried to make light of the simmering dispute, telling Page Six the two egomaniacal chefs will "get together someday and have a good laugh about it all."

JUST ASKING
WHICH magazine writer who's known in the office as a shameless self-promoter tried to sell her life story as a series? During a meeting with a cable channel, the woman told salacious details about her life to all in the room - including the fact that she's been cheating on her long-suffering husband (whom she married only because of his social connections and money) with a well-known actor. The gossipy meeting was all for naught, as the scribe was turned down. Now she'll just have to find other ways to get on TV.
If I recall, there was a similar pic last year if Kiki smooching a chick either in L,A, or NY and I think it was on X17
This pics?
Kiki Kissed a Girl
Thanks! Next to this pics there is an other pic with the title " kirsten and his new boyfriend out for lunch "??? who he is?
The guy looks a bit like jake no?
A bit :)
No idea who's the guy, but he doesn't look like a boyfriend to me.
I'm so tired of being a Jake fan. Somehow it's stopped being fun. I don't know if it's Reese or him or whatever else. It was supposed to be fun. But it's not anymore. I don't understand people who go "awwww" over Jake and Reese photos, I don't understand people who say there is a Baby Tile, I don't understand why most sites refer to him as a "boyfriend", I don't understand why he agreed to be in PoP, I dont' understand how he sees himself as an actor at the moment.
I don't belong anywhere in his fandom. I feel lost.
Is it time for me to go?
No, you have too many unanswered questions :)
And who is going to answer them for me?
Jake.
I dont' understand how he sees himself as an actor at the moment.
Nailed, PoP and Joe Namath project. An interesting mix.
Actually, i'm more interested now on Jake's private life than i was before.
The bearding, the stardom ambition,the misterious silence after Heath's death...
it's all very intriguing and there is so much more speculation matherial than if he was just a trust fund kid with a house in the Vineyards
I don't understand why most sites refer to him as a "boyfriend"
Because that's what's Reeke about?
I don't belong anywhere in his fandom.
What kind of fan are you? What did you like about Jake before Reeke?
ITA 8:01. I also used to have fun being a fan. I noticed Jake after BBM and liked what I saw on and off screen. As a good little fan I went to see his films and bought the DVDs even when I didn't like the projects. I enjoyed hearing about Jake's life and plans and liked seeing pictures of him out and about with his family and colleagues.
Now it seems that I am being punished for being that fan and not so subtly being told to f*** off. It is not hard to read between the lines of excessive Reeking that I am not the fan that "they" (whoever they are) are after.
It is unclear who exactly is the right kind of fan though. I thought the target group was young men since they tried to butch Jake up for PoP. The latest news hints that also the romcom crowd is a target group. I'm a bit confused: how are Jake's original fans different from the romcom crowd? Obviously the assumption is that the romcom audience = the not into anything gay audience and therefore you can market the same product to them as to straight men (also assumed to be not into anything gay).
I am very tired of the blatant homofobia that is evident in Jake's star image at the moment. It has become very difficult to enjoy anything related to him because of that. I guess it's time to move on but with so many questions open I can't resist following the story.
"I'm so tired of being a Jake fan. Somehow it's stopped being fun. I don't know if it's Reese or him or whatever else. It was supposed to be fun."
What was supposed to be fun???
People come here cause they believe in Toothy saga and wainting for him to come out or to be outed !! Time passes and some weary.
"how are Jake's original fans different from the romcom crowd? "
Who are Jake's original fans ???
Do you mean Brokeback fans?
Yes I'm aware that Jake has several different kinds of fans. As i clearly stated in my post I am writing as a BBM fan.
It's an adjustment to see him moving forward, for some unknown reason. I wish he hadn't felt the need to flip off the world in order to live his own life. :(
But we'll see, I'm interested in PoP very much, but I won't see a 2-second poster in another movie, I don't think.
People come here cause they believe in Toothy saga and wainting for him to come out or to be outed !!
I never expected Jake to come out. I think it's next to impossible to out celebrities who make a lot of money and want to stay in the closet.
I wish he hadn't felt the need to flip off the world in order to live his own life.
Flip off the world - what do you mean?
What was supposed to be fun???
Being Jake's fan.
I'm interested in PoP very much, but I won't see a 2-second poster in another movie.
Bad fan!

8:01 here again. I guess 9:25 has reflected my feelings quite well. But I don't know if I'm an original fan. Some people have been following Jake since October Sky or Donnie Darko.
When I said "fun" I meant his pictures, his funny interviews, his good films, his pictures with friends,his love for cooking, his dogs- I enjoyed it all.
I do think Jake's people have been trying to change his image completely and that's why I probably don't get him anymore. I'm 28, too. I don't have any children yet and the image of a soccer mom and a soccer dad just doesn't appeal to me. Reese is all about family, children, VALUES. I've always had liberal views on things and it bugs me when I hear Reese preaching about how strong women should be or how important her children are to her. Children SHOULD be important to everyone who has them. Big news, really. I believe he is with her for real, but I always imagined he would find himself a different woman. In generally,I believe he's been with men in his life and is bi.
I feel like Jake is older than he really is. I have come to the conclusion that I took him for someone he had never been. It's like you see a familiar face in the street and you're about to raise your hand and yell hello but suddenly you realize it's someone else. And you feel a little stupid. That's how I feel. If I had known from the beginning that Jake is all about being a good boyfriend and a stepdad and an action movie hero, I wouldn't have given a damn, despite his good looks. But it's not only about him pushing a new image, it's like I don't get him anymore. I may sound stupid, but I totally feel like Jake has personally told me to f**k off and get out of his way. I wish I could sit down with him at the table in an imaginary world now, make him a cup of hot tea, sit down opposite him, look him in the eye and ask:"So, Jake, WHAT'S UP?"
By the way, I love PoP games, it's just I don't understand his sudden desire to do blockbusters. I also enjoy good romantic comedies sometimes, so Jake's desire to get rid of fans like me is something I don't understand at all.
I'm not whining here to get your attention. I don't want anyone to feel sorry for me. I have a life. But I can't feel anything but regret when it's almost obvious now that Jake cannot be a part of my life anymore.
It bugs me when I hear Reese preaching about how strong women should be or how important her children are to her
Why? Reese is very good at self-promoting and building a false public image.
If I had known from the beginning that Jake is all about being a good boyfriend and a stepdad and an action movie hero, I wouldn't have given a damn, despite his good looks.
You shouldn't believe tabloids and Hollywood PR teams.
10:33, I am sorry. But that is the most pathetic thing I have ever read from a supposed "adult."
You become a fan because you chose to do so. It is not the job of any actor to provide you with a specific image or fantasy. Life is not static, and neither are people.
I don't expect anything from an actor except a good performance. I am intruiged by the Toothy stories and am an unrepentant gossip whore, so I check out this site among others.
But I do not get the people who allows themselves to become emotionally invested in the lives of people they don't know.
You didn't know Jake before; you don't know him know.
I feel like Jake is older than he really is.
Hiding and living a lie does that to some people.
To those of you getting frustrated with Jake, as one who has lived a somewhat lengthy life, I have to say don't lose patience. People's true natures always win out. One day he will wake up and be himself again. How do I know that what we saw two years ago is the real Jake and not the present version? Because two years ago the joy on his face was unmistakable. What you see now is a walking zombie.
10:33, I am sorry. But that is the most pathetic thing I have ever read from a supposed "adult."
Sorry, but that's uncalled for. Everyone is different and everyone feels differently.
Its always interesting to me to think about Jake. & why I hang on, since I was firstly disgusted with the Interview photos (about which Jake himself laughed and sid "thats not me"); and then the Esquire cover persuaded me he knew exactly what he was doing as a "star" - however, the J. Ross interview persuaded me he had decided it was very much in the interest of his career to present himself as a hetero male.
Ive never had any doubts that he's gay, although I have no idea how he perceives himself. The Reeke business is just plain bizarre, but so is much of celebrity, politics and life itself, I guess.
I feel that these decisions might have been good for his career, but not for his emotional health, nor personal/political integrity. I think he's going to pay a price, and I hate to see it since I loved so much his playfulness and great beauty and affectionate nature and his willingness to be in some ways self-revealing. And I hate to see him abusing that gorgeous body.
For me it's been helpful to be with others who are sad, disappointed, grieving, angry, and so forth.
Flip off the world - what do you mean?
In one of his latest pics, he's telling the world, his fans, his detractors, the gossip columnists, etc. eff you, it appears to me. I don't know if he's moving forward or backward, but he seems determined to go in his own direction, which if I were him, I'd probably do the same thing.
^^Go my own way, and eff you to those who don't agree with me, I mean. That's ok, we can all eff off, and hopefully he'll have enough new fans to keep him afloat. Not my business anymore. :)
It bugs me when I hear Reese preaching about how strong women should be or how important her children are to her
LOL, Reese is full of crap.
O c'mon, do not overinterpret the extended middle finger in that picture - he's not that much of a jerk -
he seems determined to go in his own direction, which if I were him, I'd probably do the same thing
Jake does not look like a man who's confident, determined and satisfied with his direction.
he's not that much of a jerk -
I'm not so sure anymore. :(
In one of his latest pics, he's telling the world, his fans, his detractors, the gossip columnists, etc. eff you, it appears to me.
That doesn't make sense - his "new" fans like Reeke pictures and pictures are used by tabloids, gossip sites and fan sites which sell Reeke.
^^His old fans, Heath fans, BBM fans. I think the new PopSugar brained fanbase is more what his people want for him, plentiful and saccharine.
"PopSugar brained fanbase" is the ONLY fanbase Reeke can get, but I don't think they are new Jake's fans.
Flip off the world - what do you mean?
In one of his latest pics, he's telling the world, his fans, his detractors, the gossip columnists, etc. eff you, it appears to me.
Because he is wearing "the" jeans in that photo, it does not seem likely that he is telling the fans to eff off. I think he just happens to be reaching for his keys or phone or something.
If he and Reese were wearing matching dirndls again then I would be more suspicious.
http://www.iheartjakemedia.com/displayimage.php?album=1312&pos=10
I'm sure I made too much of a simple picture and gesture anyway. :)
"Jake does not look like a man who's confident, determined and satisfied with his direction."
it's your interpretation , as for me I think it's the image he wants to give, no one forced him , PR and productors excuse is bullshit!
For me it's been helpful to be with others who are sad, disappointed, grieving, angry, and so forth.
I'm with you 11:44, hunnert percent.
^^ :) Isn't it awful? That's how much I loved BBM. The bar has been set so high by that film.
1:07 PM
Who said Jake was forced to beard?!?
Last 2 years - does Jake look confident and satisfied to you?
the image he wants to give, no one forced him , PR and productors excuse is bullshit!
Well yes and no. Seven million dollars does constitute coercion to betray your community.
"Well yes and no. Seven million dollars does constitute coercion to betray your community."
"Not if you get stomped winnin' it. . . "
Because he is wearing "the" jeans in that photo, it does not seem likely that he is telling the fans to eff off.
Jake smiling while looking at the paparazzi cameras = Jake likes his new fans
Jake looking serious and showing the finger = Jake telling his old fans to fuck off
Sorry, doesn't make sense!
(((((((Anon. 1:15))))))
Money's a good reason.
Yeah, but only the old fans appreciate teh jeans.
Money buying freedom to do what you really want would be an even better reason.
There's lots of ways to interpret a picture and yours is at least as valid as mine. :)
^^I adore teh jeans, and the threadbare Postal T, the grandpa cardigan - all uniquely Jake. He must be aware of all of the negativity surrounding Reeke, his silence about Heath, etc. So I thought we may have pissed him off. :)
Yeah, but only the old fans appreciate teh jeans.
Jake looking serious, showing the finger and wearing teh jeans = Jake telling his old fans to fuck off ?
I don't think so :)
I'm still stuck in "he's submitted to being a slave for 2 years so he can afford to be gay messiah after that" mode.
(((( 1:29 )))) and lol :D
"Yeah, but only the old fans appreciate teh jeans."
I don't get the thing with this jeans????
The Postage Stamp shirt is a gray tee shirt Jake's been wearing for years. It has a postage stamp cancelation on the front. Every new pic, it gets more faded LOL. He even wore it on a boat in Cannes when he met Paul McCartney.
The jeans "Teh Jeans", same thing. Old Jake fans saw them new, then stained with white paint drip on the knee, tiny tear on other leg, tear turning into a rip, rip got mended, etc LOL over the years. There are pictures of Chris and Jake when Chris was wearing "Teh Jeans".

Jake and Chris, April 15, 2007
I totally agree with 10:33 and 11:44 except for the fact that I think Jake is gay and not with Reese. And I really do think the way he has gone about this whole bearding shit has been a big "fuck you" to his BBM fans, the ones that helped put him in reach of the A-list in the first place. The only reason I still stick around is that he does look miserable, and therefore I still have hope that he will change. Then again, he could go the other way too, and turn to alcohol, drugs and anonymous hookups to ease the pain--wouldn't be the first or the last to do that.
2:35 STFU. You are boring the shit out of alot of people with your constant disparaging of posters, go and bother some other people for a change.
I agree with 2:35
I think there is something
very ambiguous in Jake's sexuality,therefore i'm interested in his hookups.
But to prefer to him being gay or think that heterosexuality will only bring sorrow in his life is very idiotic.
I have good laughs reading the comments of the anti Reeke brigade but i don't really mind if some people over criticize him, after all, he is not a friend or a family of mine and this is Internet not a court room.
Nothing that has being said here is going to figure in the annals of History
he,he I said annals....
2:35 - he's gay.
2:58 - it's not a question of my preference. He's being untrue to himself for pay, and it's hurting him.
annals is not a dirty word, in English.
It also hurts other gay people, because he's supporting the system that says being gay is unacceptable. There is no place for gay people in the world he is creating.
Sure, he has the "right" to do whatever he wants.
If what he wants to do is to help erase the reality of gay lives, then he's doing it.
The bosses have given him 7 million reasons to work day and night for years to support their no-gays-allowed policy.
It's a sad change.
"he's gay."
I can't prove he is straight, you can't prove he is gay!
There are pictures of Chris and Jake when Chris was wearing "Teh Jeans".

Jake on Bronx Beat January 13, 2007
I hope Jake enjoys his 7 million payday. The harder and louder that Jerry Bruckheimer bangs the drum of how wonderfull POP is and what a huge megahit blockbuster it's going to be, the more it makes me think that the movie sucks and will flop. Gamers who play POP want a movie true to the game. Reese fans love her romcom movies, that's probably why 4Xmas did well. Every critic in the world said it sucked, but to Reese fans, 4 Xmas was the same as her other romcom movies. Jake isn't known for romcoms and Reese fans aren't automatically going to see POP just because he is Reese's boyfriend.
Oh G*d, I loved him on Bronx Beat, he was A-DOR-able! ;)
Heath also did all that circus about being a family man and devoted hubby.That bullshit lasted only what... a year? a year and a half? His life didn't change after his marriage and if it changed it was for the worst but because he was "straight" nobody gives him shit about it or call him a liar.Or maybe is because he died...but anyway, he liked to follow PR instructions too just like Jake does. It doesn't mean they are monster, Jake and Heath is/was just playing the HW game.
People who can't stand this should choose idols outside the entertainment business.
I still think Jake is an idiot for doing the bearding thing but...whatever
"It also hurts other gay people, because he's supporting the system that says being gay is unacceptable."
Is he the only one????? What about the "many others closeted A list "in hollywood like Ted said!
I am waiting for Leo or Georges to begin!
I also have a huge problem with the image Reeke is giving about women. That the only way be desirable is to always have a man by your side. Even if it's a fake boyfriend. What a great lesson to give your daughter.
a megashit blockbuster?
I can't prove he is straight, you can't prove he is gay!
I don't need to prove it. When I see Oprah Winfrey, Jane Fonda, Hillary Clinton, I understand them to be women. When I see Bono I know he's that Irish guy.
If I'm wrong they can tell me. If you disagree with me that's fine too.
I can't prove he is straight, you can't prove he is gay!
Bearding with Reese Witherspoon is a proof, Jake is gay.
"Heath's life didn't change after his marriage and if it changed it was for the worse"
Well, it did change now didn't it? And, as you say, "for the worst."
That's exactly why I don't like what Hollywooed is doing to Jake.
It puts his physical health, his mental health, and his life at risk.
7 million dollars? Is it worth losing your soul?
"7 million dollars? Is it worth losing your soul?"
For me IT IS ABSOLUTELY WORTH IT!!
ohmygod, i'm ashamed of myself :(
"Bearding with Reese Witherspoon is a proof, Jake is gay."
You beard with a young top model or a starlett like jessica simpson
but a older woman, divorced and mum of two kids , not really the profil !
oops wooed lol
lol, you lot are ridiculously uninformed. Heath WAS NEVER MARRIED!
"It puts his physical health, his mental health, and his life at risk."
Huh!! but he has sweet Austy and baby bubbles to help him no!!
WORTH IT!!
lol I understand, but seriously. What if straight men were the most despised group imaginable, and the entertainment industry offered straight men jobs but ONLY IF THEY PRETENDED TO BE WOMEN.
They would have to agree never to be seen with their real families. They would have to dress up like women, take estrogen to grow breasts, and find some guy to pretend to be dating. They would be marched to the god damned basketball game and forced to kiss him on the TV monitor or else be booed by the crowd, with their god damned manager sitting right fucking next to them.
It would be despicable.
And that is, in fact, the way it is.
3:42 PM #1
Reese Witherspoon as a beard:
* Reese needed a high profile, good looking "boyfriend" ASAP
* Rendition promotion
* safe beard, Reese isn't going to talk about fauxmancing
* same CAA mangement
...
Heath/Michelle - My theory. They fell in love. He fell out of love pretty soon. She desperately got herself pregnant to keep him. Of course it didn't work out.
For all the gals here, trapping a guy with a baby almost never works!
P.S. No, they were never married!
Jake and Chris, January 3, 2007
:) :) A-a-a-and, ten days later Jake wore Chris's jacket on SNL. :) :)
Ha! That jacket did look familiar!
^^I don't think Heath followed PR instructions. I think the "problem" was he seemed fickle with his relationships, he moved on pretty fast if you look at his dating history. He was a good colleague, friend, but not so good, it seems, for relationships.
10:33, I am sorry. But that is the most pathetic thing I have ever read from a supposed "adult."
Maybe I was pathetic, I just needed to vent. And 11:06, thanks for defending me:)
The arrogance of some of the people on this board is breathtaking and the hypocrisy in lambasting another human being for how he choses to live his life is astounding
2:35, it's not like that. It's his life, he can live it any way he wants. It's just I can't understand where this abrupt change is coming from. Jake doesn't owe me ANYTHING (maybe except for all the money I have spent on his DVDs and movie tickets:) I mostly regret my own choice, not his choice.
I wouldn't put Heath in the same category. Heath never had gay rumours, him and Michelle were never married, he looked liked he hated Hollywood machine (he didn't mind the money though)But he and Michelle just broke up, Heath wasn't a husband material, he had a very independent spirit, IMO.
He adored his little girl, that's for sure.
It may sound weird, but I think since God had known he was going to die young, He had given him a chance to father a child to leave a part of himself in this world.
Reese Witherspoon as a beard:
* Reese needed a high profile, good looking "boyfriend" ASAP
* Rendition promotion
* safe beard, Reese isn't going to talk about fauxmancing
* same CAA mangement
rendition promotion is over!
Reese risking his precious family image to seem more desirable and parading with a supposed gay man as his " georgous boyfriend" is incredibly stupid , all the gay stories, the risk to be caught in "delicate" situation !!!
I don't know ....
Yet that is what she is doing
To all the disapointed fans, IMO Jake is bi and in the closet. Now I know some will say he's gay, bearding and in the closet. But I happen to think like others that his relationship with Kirsten was real and I think he's with Reese now. Most bisexual men do not want people to know they are bi, Jake is no different. Weather or not he is totally into Reese is one thing, the other is I feel he can and will have a relationship with a woman for the simple fact that he does not want anyone (the public) to know. Call it in the closet or what. I think some posters are totally into Ted's gossip about TT or Jake, but I don't believe all of it, just some. I am sure Jake is tired of the rumors and I'm sure he knows about all the talk on the sites that talk about it. It would be hurtful and a challenge for the average mortal so you know he may be having a hard time with it, especially if he is with Reese and trying to kill the bi/gay rumors. And Jake does not owe any fan anything. It is the fan including myself who chooses to partake in the whirlwind PR laden life of celebrity's. And if he's gay and bearding, bi and bearding (he has a right to), weathe you or I like it or not. Although I understand the hurt posters feeling, but we cannot emotionally invest too much of our time in a person we really don't know. And we really don't know Jake. All I know is that he put life into a character in BBM that will never be forgotten from myself. Thanks Jake.
10:06 AM asked: Flip off the world - what do you mean?
(re: I wish he hadn't felt the need to flip off the world in order to live his own life.)
In the US there is a phrase "flip the bird" which means to show the back of the hand with the middle finger extended. Usually pointing up. If not, it is being shown subtly. The gesture indicates "f*ck you", more or less like (in Europe) putting your right fist in the crook of your left elbow and raising the left fist.
There's this one picture where Jake's middle finger is extended, but it's not clear whether he is subtly flipping the bird at the photographer, or just reaching for something inside his sweater.

It's about Ryan, don't be silly.
Heath was never subtle about doing that, but IMO he had legitimate reason to - it's not like Jake, especially if they call the paps in the first place. :(
4:06 PM
Check out Reese's tabloid covers and media attention she's getting thanks to Jake and reeking.
Reese isn't new poor Jen Aniston, she is "blessed, supported, back on top, she got her revenge, happy and successful, bla, bla".
"Although I understand the hurt posters feeling, but we cannot emotionally invest too much of our time in a person we really don't know."
Thanks for the lecture. Gee I wish you'd shared your wisdom with me three years ago. Im such a stupid dork, I just didnt know any better. And now Im all tangled up in my blues and may kill myself.
LMAO @ some posters thinking Jake cares about what people write about him here.
It would be hurtful and a challenge for the average mortal so you know he may be having a hard time with it, especially if he is with Reese and trying to kill the bi/gay rumors.
I guess that's the thing for me. "kill the bi/gay rumors"? Kill what? Kill who? Why?
The violent imagery is the message. Kill gay people.
People comment negatively about what is said about them on the Internet all the time - even Tina Fey did, to rousing cheers from the stars in the GGs audience. So I'm sure he's aware, don't kid yourself. And if he isn't, his handlers are and inform him.
Most bisexual men do not want people to know they are bi, Jake is no different.
Bullshit, bi men like Brad Pitt don't need beards and don't need to come out.
ALL bisexual men date men and women. Bisexual Jake wouldn't have a problem finding a girlfriend. Jake choosed to beard because he's gay.
Or his bud RDJr who finds it all fun stuff.
^^That was hilarious! I wonder which assessment was so spot on? The one of RDJ, of Jake, or of Reese? ;)
ITA 439#1
obvious as the nose on yr face.
If Jake is bi and really with Reese he wouldn't have to worry about the closet. He could easily slip in a few "my girlfriend" mentions to prove he is once again in a relationship with a woman and there are only rumors about affairs with men. Yet for some reason Reeke act as if their "relationship" is still some kind of huge secret and the evil paps keep pestering their fragile love affair. As long as the proof for their love is 4000 coffee pictures and zero chemistry, I reserve the right to interpret their act as bearding.
I hope Jake is aware of how we all feel about him, why should he get a free passon all this. And the problem with saying we shouldn't criticize him because "it's his life" is that he is shoving reeke down the public's throats on an almost 24/7 basis, not quietly living his life somewhere. Other than Tomkat, are there any other fauxmances that are dialed up this high?
No doubt in my mind, this is an all out effort to burn down anything connected to Jake that is remotely gay, starting with BBM and Jake's failure to say even one word about Heath.
If Jake can't stand the criticism, then he is either in the wrong business and/or should stop the charade.
I wonder if when Bruckheimer said we wouldnt recognize Jake in the part he meant that PoP will NOT be be a camp classic, as hoped and anticipated.
My own opinion is that there's no way to keep the boy down on the farm after he's seen Pareee, but what do I know?
I already don't recognize him. :(
((Bullshit, bi men like Brad Pitt don't need beards and don't need to come out.))
We are just going to have to agree to disagree. Bisexual men I have met were only open to a select few people. And I've met a few. They are just as in the closet as gay men and they seem to be very much into the women the were involved with, some still are.
Hey, I thought RDJ was the few or only celebrity bi man out there who were open about his sexuality, but alow and behold, he took it back. It was all just bullSh-t I think he said. Sorry, only know of bi celebrity women.
Where did you read that Brad is Bisexual? News to me.
"Bisexual Jake wouldn't have a problem finding a girlfriend."
You mean a top model LOL
If Jake can't stand the criticism, then he is either in the wrong business and/or should stop the charade.
But this goes for you also. If you can't stand what you presume is bearding, you should leave the fandom. Why bother. No need to get upset.
>I wonder if when Bruckheimer said we wouldnt recognize Jake in the part he meant that PoP will NOT be be a camp classic, as hoped and anticipated.
Based on the on set PoP clip he'll have a hell of a time preventing that LOL
POP will not only be a camp classic, but I can already the spoofs on SNL already. The muscled up, ernest looking Prince ignoring the damsel in distress to go and fight the studly, evil, manly guy trying to kidnap the damsel.
If your parents are about to go bankrupt, a large paycheck is very important.
Jake is interesting for me as an actor to follow. I'm not too fond of his recent movie choices, but I think there'll be other movies in the future I'll pay money to watch. I never really cared if he's bearding with Reese or not. Though I tend to believe it's true and they are using it for PR, that's what Reese supposedly did when she was with her ex husband too. What I'll never forgive is the photo ops after H. died. I thought that was lack of respect, I think he should have been low key at the time. I don't care if he made a statement or not, just being low key would have been enough.
Nevertheless, I wish him good luck with his movie career and I'll probably continue to follow him as an actor, if I like the movies he's in that is.
"But this goes for you also. If you can't stand what you presume is bearding, you should leave the fandom. Why bother. No need to get upset."
EXACTLY!!
"I hope Jake is aware of how we all feel about him, why should he get a free passon all this"
Of course he is aware.
Listen ,I am sure right now he has remorses reading you and tomorrow he will stop "the charade"
give me a break
I guess that's the thing for me. "kill the bi/gay rumors"? Kill what? Kill who? Why?
The violent imagery is the message. Kill gay people.
Apparently something is going over your head. Who's talking about killing someone?? The point is, most gay or bi, but mostly gay men are not open with their sexuality in the early stages of their life, now some are and I applaud them, but the fact is, some are NOT. If you have a strong feeling that Jake is gay, and he is, then he has not accepted or came to terms yet and not open. Maybe he does not want to be open if he is, or maybe someday he will, which is his decision. Since no one here knows for sure, there is no reason to get upset about something that is a rumor. You are making too much out of something you have no concrete evidence. Like it or not, and if you choose to get bent out of shape because you totally believe everything that Ted writes or Jake has to be gay to satisfy your beliefs then Jake is not the one with the problems.
oh fandom fandom fandom, what is it, anyway, I'm so confused, I try to please everybody, and end up a laughing stock.
where the fuck's my dog? where's my bud DJr? are you still using, man? Man, I could use some using. where's my fucking t shirt collection? Fincher, who was straightening your tie when I was eating sand in the fucking desert and almost lost an eye? and where's my big little man, you know who, you horny midget.
4:59, ITA with everything you said except for the bearding part - that bothers me because it sends a terrible message, and also hurts him.
I am anon 5:06 Just want to add, You may have a brother or a male cousin who loves the girls / women and everyone knows he's a lady'man. Now what if the brother or male cousin secretly likes men /boys also. He does not tell everyone or shouts to the heavens I love men and women to everyone he meets. Things change through time, and a very colorful interesting change. But, it happens in your brother or male cousins time, no one elses.
"You are making too much out of something you have no concrete evidence. Like it or not, and if you choose to get bent out of shape because you totally believe everything that Ted writes or Jake has to be gay to satisfy your beliefs then Jake is not the one with the problems."
I have to be agree with that
Sometimes I feel the investment some have on jake's life is close to illness.
sorry to be harsh.
Thanks for the lecture. Gee I wish you'd shared your wisdom with me three years ago. Im such a stupid dork, I just didnt know any better. And now Im all tangled up in my blues and may kill myself.
LOL!!!
Some of you guys have a great sense of humour and I'm not being ironic now.
Is Jake
a)gay
b)bi
c)straight
d)idiot
?
Dear Jake:
Look out kid
It's somethin' you did
God knows when
But you're doin' it again
and Im not kidding
a megashit blockbuster
LOL
Sometimes I feel the investment some have on jake's life is close to illness.
That includes babblers, right?
"jake's life is close to illness."
ITA
"That includes babblers, right?
That include all fans who speculate about actors private life
so YES that includes babblers too.
Did Ted udept today? did he anwser letters ?
For you it is illness, for me it is an interesting sociological problem.
Just think: a rule that we know exists, is enforced hunnerd percent on people who do not like it, and causes injury to individuals and society.
And anyone who talks about it will be called mentally ill by people like 5:09 and 5:20#1.
My displeasure is more with the moguls who make the rules than with Jake.
But I also recognize that there is a cycle involved: the bosses perceive that the audience will not accept a gay actor. The bosses think of themselves as open-minded so they tell gay actors to pretend to be straight.
Of course, if the actor doesn't pretend to be straight, his career is over. We know that is what they are told.
So the industry produces a community of celebrities who are subject to compulsory heterosexuality. The message that being gay is unacceptable is presented not only by their consistently homophobic movies but also by their personal lives.
So then you have the audience. We pay to receive the message that being gay is unacceptable. Some are intelligent enough to see through it. But most don't, and many are glad to receive the message that endorses their hatred of gay people.
So, they kind of make the bosses right.
And that's what I don't like. :-)
Sometimes I feel the investment some have on jake's life is close to illness."
People calling other people ill out of ignorance. Sound familiar?
"Just think: a rule that we know exists, is enforced hunnerd percent on people who do not like it, and causes injury to individuals and society."
yes but in same time ""You are making too much out of something you have no concrete evidence."
like it or not!
Did Ted udept today? did he anwser letters ?
There are (SAG) updates, but no letters yet.
Religion and Hollywood are among the main primary producers of homophobia.
Religion and Hollywood are two of the most homosexual-dominated industries that have ever existed.
"People calling other people ill out of ignorance. Sound familiar?"
Admit to be so much invested in sexuality of someone you don't know
isn't healthy!
Admit that maybe some of us need to talk with each other. There is a problem and we are trying to figure out how to make things better.
Your obsession with making us stop isn't healthy!
"Someone you don't know" ?
5:59 PM, why do you remind me of our average trolly?
You are making too much out of something you have no concrete evidence.
Sounds like somebody hasn't heard about the Nazis yet!
By your definition, there can never be any concrete evidence. So by definition, if there were a problem, you would be in here demanding that we not be allowed to discuss it.
That remain someone you don't know
"Admit to be so much invested in sexuality of someone you don't know
isn't healthy!"
You have no idea what you're talking about and what other people on this site are talking about. You're a real piece of work! I hope you're never called for jury duty.
(I hear via TMZ that Jake's been told to take off his baseball hat in court. hope they select him, and take him off the Reeke circuit for awhile. It's a murder case.)
Great , maybe it' for a role.
So what if I don't know them? I don't know Obama or McCain, but I voted. And as a citizen I have a right to express my views and an obligation to say when I think that we as a group are doing something harmful.
This bearding rule bothers me, and I want to talk with other people who are interested in the issue.
I hear via TMZ that Jake's been told to take off his baseball hat in court. hope they select him, and take him off the Reeke circuit for awhile. It's a murder case.)
What are you talking about?
Via TMZ:
Jake Gyllenhaal has more important things to do today than Reese Witherspoon -- he's a prospective juror in a misdemeanor battery case in an L.A. courtroom.
Jake is in there right now.
This morning Jake was sitting in a corner in the jury assembly room with his head down, wearing a solid dark ball cap, a blue jacket and a backpack ... not realizing he's way too famous to go incognito.
So far, he hasn't been picked. We're there. We'll let you know.
Jake was just told to take his hat off inside the courtroom.
Just found it. I'm not a native speaker: what is a "battery case"?
Thanks
Battery is assault (getting beaten up).
What is he doing in a court? Has he been picked up? Is that how it works in America?
And what do propsective jurors do?
Argh...
"What is he doing in a court? Has he been picked up? Is that how it works in America?"
Just google it. you do know how to google? you just pucker up your lips and . . .
Oh too bad its not an endless trial for murder that would keep him locked up in a motel for six weeks.
Maybe it'll fuck up the Fincher do, though.
... blow!
Prospective jurors - keeping fingers crossed and hoping they will skip jury duty :)
US Jury System
Just found it. I'm not a native speaker: what is a "battery case"?
Thanks.
Simple battery can be charged as a misdemeanor or felony, a determination that is made by the judge. It is defined as any willful and unlawful use of force or violence upon another person.
Every day the court systems call in hundreds of people to be available in case they are needed for court cases. You have to take the day off from work (excused for jury duty). Most people end up just sitting in a large room for a day, waiting in case they are called. If they aren't called for a case they're done at the end of the day.
If you do get called, they'll usually bring in maybe five times as many people as they will actually need for the jury. The lawyers for each side and the judge can ask you questions about your job and issues pertinent to the case. Obviously they would rule out anybody who knows anybody involved in the dispute. They can also ask about your opinions on various matters that they think might bias you against their side.
After these questions, the lawyers for the two sides produce their list of acceptable jurors, and they compare lists to get a jury.
Anyway, the vast majority of people called for jury duty don't get called for a case. Even if you are called, a lot of cases are settled within a day, so it's usually no big deal.
Assault is different - assault it the attempt or threat, going beyond mere words, battery is the actual physical contact. Usually they are charged together.
The lawyers for both sides would probably prefer not to have a celebrity on the jury.
The Informers Hits Too Close to Home
We caught the much-hyped flick The Informers up at Sundance, and must say we were totally let down. The reviews are in consensus that Brett Easton Ellis effed up when adapting his novel, and this bitchass one on Defamer puts it best.
However, we were much more interested in the where-the-hell-are-they cast that "stars" in this film—such as Billy Bob Thornton, Mickey Rourke (for literally three scenes) and Winona Ryder. The late Brad Renfro is also in the movie (he passed away last year shortly after filming wrapped). The audience got chills during one of his final lines, which read, "I have a really bad feeling about this."
Here's what went down behind the scenes:
"The actors really began to live their roles. When you see the film, you'll have a greater understanding of what exactly that means, but some crazy stuff went on," dished the director, Gregor Jordan.
If this is true (which we have no doubt it is after seeing it), the movie should have just been about the friggin' stars. BBT plays a husband who can't keep it in his pants, Austin Nichols portrays a male prostitute who sleeps with both men and women and Ryder is just a crazyass "other" woman.
— Reporting by Taryn Ryder
Yahoo
Speaking of Mickey Rourke, he's cute with Evan Rachel Wood. :)
Wow, Ted has a big picture of Austin for The Informers comment. :)
So, are the saying that Austin is male prostitute in real life??? OMG, who knew?!?!?!
If Ted or his intern Taryn actually read the book or saw the movie, Austin's character is NOT a male prostitute, he is bisexual a record prducer.
If anyone needs any more proof that Ted caters to a certain audience: The yahoo links has the same eonline post w/o the picture of Austin but the picture appears on the Eonline post.
It appears the intern Taryn did the post since she is credited but did she actually go or see it because the description of Austin's character is wrong.
Most likely they were sent e-mails asking them to do astory on the informers, unfortunately they had no idea what a stink bomb it is.
From OMG:
Odd, spooky deleted a comment on one of her OTH posts. Someone from NC where they are filming OTH at UNC, they called Austin a tool bag and said that a friend of hers "hung out " with Austin and he left some raunchy text messages to her. It was Anon. so maybe that's why she deleted it but I don't recall her doing that before.
At least one guy, this guy, I mean that guy, I mean Chris F., is leading a manly life, slaughtering his first deer today, bloody corpse on view.
Chris posts after supper, about nine o'clock, after a busy day killing and slaughtering wild animals and julienning turnips and so forth and so on.
^ ^ ^
I mean BUTCHERED his first deer, sorry I was quite upset thinking about it.
There is a big difference between not coming out and bearding. I can understand the former, but I will never understand why Jake took up bearding with the Chin.
Somebody has to stand up to HW or nothing will ever change. Honestly, what would happen if Jake stopped bearding and came out now. Are they not going to release Pop or his other movies as a result? Not offer him the sequel to PoP if it succeeds?
I also don't buy that Jake is just not "ready" to acknowledge his sexuality. If that was the case would we really having gotten all the ambiguous language in interviews during BBM, all those pictures with Austin, hopping on stage with Rufus to sing "Between my Legs" and so on? Those don't sound like the acts of someone who can't deal with being gay. There was every indication he was on the verge on coming out, and then he slammed the door and gave Reese a piggyback ride in Rome, and the rest is "history", as they say.
very well said, 9.29
Interesting that Ted added Austin's pic for the Awful Truth post. Is Ted playing games? I've wondered about that sometimes.
Recall the advance Austin's career directive?
Hi Jack
Why was Ted's post on Yahoo altered to exclude Austin's picture?
Chris Fischer is a sweet but very, very simple man.
What are you talking about 8:50 and 10:22, that comment is still on Spooky's journal. And how in the hell would you know what SK did???? And how about a link for the OYH (I assume you mean OTH) post?
Trolly trying to stir up trouble again. Why don't you go mess with GB for a change.
Don't be silly 10.22. Or, if you know this for a fact, evidence please to back what you say.
People can delete whatever comments they want on their own journals. No explanation needed. Besides, the comment was anonymous and probably bullshit.
There was a time when to be successful people had to hide the fact that they were Jews. Would you condone Jake's hiding the fact that he is of Jewish descent. No. So I can't condone his hiding that he is gay. I dont expect him to be Harvey Milk, just to be himself.
I would not be surprised if PR is urging fans to leave as another tactic to kill WFT2 and OMG. They will try anything to make it go away
I wonder how much of the troll activity of the past few days has been pr. I think they must be frustrated that we're still alive and kicking after the reeke bombing we've had to endure since Jake got back from London.
I'd argue Jake has been trying to run from his Jewish roots as well, what with all those stories about him going to church, thinking of converting, etc. And Reese is the ultimate blonde shiksa. Can't be too Jewish and be a leading man.
Can't be too Jewish and be a leading man."
Didn't hurt Dustin Hoffman. Please knock off this anti-Semitic bullshit. It's ugly and it's not reflective of Hollywood now except it's clearly a projection of the poster's feelings (which are probably anti-Semitic to begin with).
I'm Jewish, and I am disturbed by Jake's seeming efforts to make himself into a bland milquetoast, and that includes catering to people who think it is better to be Christian than Jewish by allowing pr to float those stories. Why would Jake consider converting--his parents were different religions. And funny how it's not the other way around, with Reese been the one to consider converting. Why" Because her more conservative fan base would have fits.
And Hoffman is not a typical leading man, in part because he mostly does comedies. I'm talking matinee idol type leading men.
Forgot to add, where were the Hanukah Reeke stories? We got Jake going to a Christmas program for Ava and stories about them spending the Christmas holidays together.
