The Loneliest Places
30 October 2005
'My experience on Jarhead was lifechanging,' says Jake Gyllenhaal. 'Because I've worked with directors a lot who thought I was a certain thing and fit me into that box, you know. And Sam wasn't like that at all. And Ang is, though I hate the word, an auteur. The last two movies I shot, though I didn't know it at the time, were really about loneliness - and what you find in the loneliest of places. Plains and mountains that go on forever, deserts that are hot and dry with nothing growing ... and go on forever. That's why I gravitated toward them, I suppose.
'Some movies you fall a step behind,' he adds, 'and some you stay in the same place, make the same choices. And then sometimes there are people who know more than you but show you, and that's the maximum you can hope for - doing that with someone who says, "I like you for what you are, and I want you to be in my picture." I didn't have to fake it or put on a mask - all the resources I had inside me were more than adequate. I don't want to pretend to be something ... I'm not pretending any more to fit somebody's mould. That's a longwinded statement but - why not do what you really think, even if it's a mistake?'

«Oldest ‹Older 601 – 800 of 1014 Newer› Newest»Someone who knows how Hollywood works and wants to stay in the closet shouldn't have a problem with Jake's bearding.
One of the morning shows has referred to the Vanity Fair red carpet as the first that Jake and Reese have walked together.
I'll wait for the pictures.
So now we have someone publicaly validating the relationship.
Talking about "the relationship" in the morning or any other show doesn't validate anything. Reeke is public knowledge since Oct 2007.
"I have a hard time believing Jake and Austin are still together. Who could watch someone they love doing this?"
I have a hard time too, I can't see Austin waiting quietly at home!
"Talking about "the relationship" in the morning or any other show doesn't validate anything. Reeke is public knowledge since Oct 2007."
Right!
Nevertheless , When you come at such event like Oscars with your supposed beloved , that looks like a confirmation for me or at least the impression you want to give!
Confirmation of what?
"Confirmation of what?"
The confirmation they are a couple , even if it's fake!
So what was Rome photo shoot, SF weekend, "family" vacations in Mexico, London and Paris? Those weren't confirmations that Reeke are "a couple"?
So, is Austin okay because he stays in the closet and doesn't beard, but Jake is not okay because he stays in the closet, but does beard?
When Austin starts to beard, then what? And please don't tell me he wouldn't do it since he is okay with this?
Maybe it's not about love for Jake and Austin, but it's just safer to have a steady sex outlet than to have to be on the prowl where you could be more easily caught.
But wouldn't you get tired of hiding inside all of the time. Please don't tell me about the private, private life, that does not work in the age of cell phone cameras and the Internet. Once you are out in public, you can not control private citizens. Any one could catch Jake and Austin together and they wouldn't even know it. Even just visiting family and friends, at some point you have to step outside.
Remember previous sightings reported on individual LJs and reported to Ted.
And if there is a Baby Tile, wouldn't Maggie want to spend time with her niece or nephew?
Just some questions because I think Reese and Jake are a fake couple but I am beginning to think that Jake is not attached to any man at the moment.
I see the troll/babbler has taken on a new tactic, trying to convince us that Austin is bad for going along with the bearding and/or no longer in Jake's life, on the misguided belief that we'll all go away if we start believing that.
Not going to happen babbling trolly.
Please don't tell me about the private, private life, that does not work in the age of cell phone cameras and the Internet.
London, after returning to UK from Morocco: during those 3-3,5 months we got Reeke photo ops, 3 obviously arranged Jake photo ops and 1 sighting (breakfast). Did I miss anything?
So, is Austin okay because he stays in the closet and doesn't beard, but Jake is not okay because he stays in the closet, but does beard?
OK versus not OK I won't say. But not bearding is better than bearding.
Bearding is one of the greatest social evils of the 1940s. Why it's happening now I cannot fathom.
There's a bug difference between the Oscar red carpet and the Vanity fair red carpet.
Why would any carpet make any difference to reeking?
OK I am persuaded they are in this for the long run.
I don't recognize him, anymore - not the guy that interested me, not the guy I fell for. The reek of Reeke has o'ertaken all else. For me, anyway.
10:06, 9:58 made some observations/asked some questions which apparantly you can't answer. Calling someone a troll because you don't have an answer won't work.
I thought the point of the post is that if you go out in public, you can't know who may be there. You can't control the public. Given that, how can Austin stand being hidden away indoors since it would be stupid for him and Jake to risk being seen together in public.
This kind of potential for exposure is one of the reasons some of us think that J/A may not be together.
And if they are, what does Austin get out of this?
I don't recognize him, anymore - not the guy that interested me, not the guy I fell for. The reek of Reeke has o'ertaken all else. For me, anyway.
I see someone different now as well - he's off in the distance now. Hellooooooo? Perhaps if they reinvent him for another film like Brokeback, I'll recognize him or want to. :)
Vanity Fair is not the Oscars, but it is one biggest events of the year on the biggest night of the year in Hollywood. This lends an official air to the pairing, short of an actual premiere red carpet walk.
Their appearance there as a couple is making a statement.
You can try and dismiss it, but they will be perceived, and treated as a couple, in Hollywood and elsewhere.
I wonder why he wasn't at the award ceremony? It's sad that he steadfastly avoids any association with Heath.
Maybe Heath's family didn't want phony Jake there, the Jake whocouldn't even be bothered to say a word about him or defend him when all the drug talk was swirling, and went for a tabloid photo opp 4 days after Heath died.
I can see that. I'd certainly have a few choice words for him. :)
Anit gay protests against Heath Ledger:
Anti gay/Heath demos
It's become more and more clear to me that Jake sucks up to people whom he perceives as being powerful or can help him out.
Man he's a power bottom all the way. He must drive friends and lovers nuts, in the long run.
Speaking of nuts, where's Chris "Squirrelnutz" F. been, I lost him at "heavenly ravioli".
:)
Their appearance there as a couple is making a statement.
They are making a statement that they are a couple? For whom, who thought that Reeke wasn't a couple?
You can try and dismiss it, but they will be perceived, and treated as a couple, in Hollywood and elsewhere.
Reeke is percieved as a couple for the last 16 months, Reese answered Reeke questions 4 months ago.
I have to say one thing about the Oscars, before them, I wondered what all the appeal was about Robert Pattinson. I just didn't feel it. But seeing him in person, he's got a lot of sex appeal for a young guy. I love the way he looks up from under his brows or something - very intense stare. What a sexy vampire he must have made. :)
"I wonder why he wasn't at the award ceremony? It's sad that he steadfastly avoids any association with Heath."
There's always the possibility that Heath's lovers and family are making that call, and choosing to separate from any homo aura that might be left over from BBMt - Aussies can be pretty reactive and 'phobic. Soil the image of the beloved, I dont think so.
"They are making a statement that they are a couple? For whom, who thought that Reeke wasn't a couple?"
As Clinton said, depends upon what "is" is.
I never thot Reeke was a couple, still don't, never will. Half the known world thinks they just trot themselves out together, the end.
If anyone's choosing to distance themselves, I doubt that it's Heath's family. Doubt that Jake is the first thing on their minds in their grief. Jake and his people are doing the distancing. And I bet if Reese were a makeup artist or wardrobe assistant on a movie set, he'd never have given her the time of day. He seems very career and status concsious.
He seems very career and status concsious.
That's very obvious, to me at least.
11:52 AM what bull!
One of the morning shows has referred to the Vanity Fair red carpet as the first that Jake and Reese have walked together.
What happened to "have walked together"?
"Reese Witherspoon (in Rodarte and Fred Leighton jewels) walks the red carpet at the 2009 Vanity Fair Oscar Party hosted by Graydon Carter held at the Sunset Tower on in West Hollywood on Sunday (February 22)."
JJared
oh lord she's fugly!
11:52 AM what bull!
I agree, complete BS. Heath was proud of what he achieved in BBM. I watched him during award season 2005/6. He even went to Australia to promote this movie. It was his biggest success up until TDK.
Kim Ledger (Heath's father) even said that if his son would "out" himself that he's gay, he'd be supportive. I think it was also said jokingly because Heath's BBM role was his second gay role. ;)
^^Also Heath chose Jake to be godfather of Matilda. Seems to be he wanted Jake to stay in his life.
When did showing up at a party with someone mean you're fucking them?
Also Heath chose Jake to be godfather of Matilda. Seems to be he wanted Jake to stay in his life.
I don't know about this.
^^About what 12:38?
I would have accepted Jake and Reese long ago, if only he had treated Heath with respect. Now, I'll never be able to get that out of my mind. I have nothing against Reese, it has nothing to do with her, but what I feel is Jake's avoidance and disrespect of Heath I will always wonder about.
I agree with many things you said 12:32 PM. I didn't really care about them as a couple be it real or show. I was interested in Jake as an actor. But I wished he was more low key at the time after Heath died. I didn't even mind he didn't pay any tribute. But I particularly hated the NYC trip photos of them shopping etc. It bothered me, IDK.
I wish Jake good luck with his career. But my love for him is spoiled. I know he doesn't give a shit about what I think. But it's good to get that out of my chest, still.
^^Yes, I agree - we know that the famous don't know or care what we think, but it's good just to have a place to say it anyway. :) I wish Jake all the best as well. Just who he really is will always be a mystery. The sweet guy trotted out to us during the promotion of Brokeback where art ust may have been imitating life? Or now that that's behind him, the one who is going mainstream?
Recalling what Jake's father said about Jake doing a "high wire act" - wonder what he meant -
Yes, I agree - we know that the famous don't know or care what we think, but it's good just to have a place to say it anyway. :)
Absolutely. :)
I think it's pretty significant that Jake's Dad wrote that -
I understand if Jake didn't want to make a statement about Heath, wanting to keep personal feelings to himself, not wanting his grief on a public stage, but surely he could have stood in the audience of Heath's peers for the standing ovation? But whatever.
Anti gay/Heath demos
"Stars on their way to the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles had to pass a group of Christian demonstrators outside who protested against gay marriage and attacked the memory of the late Heath Ledger, a favourite target of militant anti-gay protesters since his role in Brokeback Mountain."
What about Jake? Even crazy Christian demonstrators don't care about Jake anymore?
"...And Sean Penn won Best Actor, not only because he was terrific, but because the Oscars love nothing more than a straight person who plays gay, especially if he dies at the end. Only Jake Gyllenhaal broke this rule, maybe because they weren't sure he's straight?"
La Daily Musto - The Village Voice
What about Jake? Even crazy Christian demonstrators don't care about Jake anymore?
I think Jake's happy about it. Why would he want to be their target?
The VF pics are hilarious. Reeke gets out of the car, Reese poses on the red acrpet alone, Jake walks by himself. When they walk in Reese is ahead dragging him along and I swear she looks like she's strong-arming him. "Look what I have, Ryan and everybody, so THERE!" Jake is more like, whatever, I'm just happy to be here. Then the 2 pics of them together, the 1 with them looking at each other, I bet the photog said "Look at each other" and the look they give, shit. Like "we're friends not lovers you asshole but we'll do a closed-mouth wry smile for the camera" That wry smile, its more like shit, we're stuck. They really look like 2 business partners who can't stand each other in that pic or a broken-up couple who for some reason have to attend a social function together.
^^The people in my real life associate BBM with Heath more than Jake. Even before he died, I think Heath was internationally better known. I think after PoP Jake will become a household name too.
Of course I don't want Jake to be a target - I just don't understand why they're attacking Heath for being in BBMt, and don't care about Jake.
The "looking at each other" awards pics always seemed very fake to me, even with the genuinely in love couples
"What about Jake? Even crazy Christian demonstrators don't care about Jake anymore?"
Nor do we, since he's squeaky clean by now, not a spot of gay left - not a spot of guy left - just a flannel checked shirt flapping in the wake of America's Sweetheart
Why that gauzy stuff holding up her gown?
Of course I don't want Jake to be a target - I just don't understand why they're attacking Heath for being in BBMt, and don't care about Jake.
^^^^^
Because ,even when he is dead, Heath was one of the most important figures in the Oscars.
People only talked about Jake wondering if he was scorting his "GF" and that's it,that's all the interest he aroused in that night.
Another reason why no pics of Reese at the party: you know she wasn't about to be photograghed with a drink in her hand, gotta keep those pregnancy rumors alive.
Reese looked like she was taking her gay younger brother to his first Oscar party.
IHJ has the pics.
Reese looked like she was taking her gay younger brother to his first Oscar party.
*******
At least is better than taking her rapist drug addict brother to an Oscar party
^^I agree, Reese's bro is scum, really.
Aw cmon now if you had to grow up in that fucked up family with her you'd drink and drug too. Now excuse me while I go peep in somebodys window.
Didn't the General and her gay chaperone 'walk' down a carpet at a Golden Globes after party, and while avoiding the red carpet at the Golden Globes (just like the Oscars)? Obviously pedigree matters in terms of establishing legitimacy.
Speaking of legitimacy, where was Maggie last night? Unlike her closeted, manipulative brother who hasn't been seen in a film since Oct. 2007, and who has had three films postponed since then, Maggie starred in an Oscar-nominated film last year, but I didn't see her at the festivities.
Together Reeke looks like a coupla ghouls, but OMG Jakey's coming on to Sean Penn! Penn looks like (wtf! gimme a break, man, str8)
These pictures cry out for captions but I dont go to DC anymore and I dont mean Washington.
"Didn't the General and her gay chaperone 'walk' down a carpet at a Golden Globes after party"
Hmm? Don't recall pics of that, if it happened.
Btw Entertainment Weekly is saying Reeses Oscar dress is the All-Time Worst. LMAO.

2009 Vanity Fair Oscar Party
Reese looked likes Jake's mom in those pictures. They smile at each other for photo's when a pose is required, but most of the time they don't seem to look at each other. Couples in love frequently look at each other to assess their partner's feelings, mood, response. Something Reeke don't do and why it is clear it is a business relationship.
Funny no pics of Reese with anyone else. She probably did the entrance with her gay bf, went in the party room and walked out the back door. Went home, in bed (alone) by 9 pm. Hope she washed off that eye makeup from last Friday.
3:38 ITA. The 1 where Reeke is looking at each other, Jake looks like he's posing for a movie still for promos.
Did anyone catch Reeses nail polish? I think it was navy blue or black, something dark on really short stub nails. Trailer trash.
I'm confident he'll dump her little booty and goes back to do quality films he mostly did pre Rendition after PoP is over.
2:46, Maggie is starring in an off-Broadway play--that's why she didn't come.
But the damage may already have been done - it may be too late after the PoP promotion. It's too late for his nonchalance about Heath, that's for sure. Can't go to the ceremony, but can party it up. :(
Can't go to the ceremony, but can party it up. :(
Oh well.
Jakey can't help checking out the crowd.
"Look at ME, sweetcheeks, we've got a fuckeen contract. . . "
He's still kind of cute when he's looking around.
Penelope Cruz wants to rub groins, Jakey says he's got a headache.
He's a sketch, alright! Maybe I won't quit him, after all!
Not yet 34 and already double chin?
^^^ Check out that grip. Geez.
OMG 4:34 LOL. And look at their hands, Reese is grabbing his and he has his flat out. Can someone say controlling and overbearing?
The longer I look at them the more confused I get on who's using who more for PR.
Holy crap. Her veins are popping out on her hand and arm and his palm is all red.
that grip is terrifying! she has fairly big hands for a very small woman. keeps them tightly clenched. something is amiss with her. seriously.
It was Reese's "look what I have, Ryan and everybody!" moment.
You know, Im impressed. The little fucker knows how to work a room. He just doesnt know how to pull off a fauxmance.
"Vanity Fair's Oscar bash: where stars still collide!...
Most awkward moment? Ryan Phillippe and girlfriend Abbe Cornish walking — or shall we say sprinting — right past Ryan's ex-wife, Reese Witherspoon, and her current love, Jake Gyllenhaal. No, neither couple stopped to exchange pleasantries. Ouch. This must make child visitation really fun."
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/thedishrag/2009/02/vanity-fair-hon.html
I agree 4.47. Even shopping pics or the Venice ones 2 weeks ago, she walks around clenching her fists. Seems like she's always holding hands with her kids too.. not much affection either more like control IMO Reese is a mental disaster waiting to happen.
Priceless, 4:56.
My mom just said Reese seems very dominant. I think she's right. But she liked Reese's Oscar dress, which I don't agree with.
The only thing I personally like about Reese are her eyes. That's all. I can't stand her when she talks, so annoying.
I have to say I do like most of these pics, with Sean, Penelope and Salma, Sir Anthony Hopkins - there's a lot of warmth in them. The ones with Penelope are really great. That is a tight grip on Jake's hand by Reese, I wonder if there was some tension because Ryan and Abby were there.
Reese would never let it happen but my fondest wish is that Jake and Abbie Cornish star in a film together ;)
Penelope Cruz wants to rub groins, Jakey says he's got a headache.
Doesn't look like a headache to me :)
Jake and Penelope Cruz rubbing
^^Doesn't look he's begging off with a headache to me, either! He's leaning in for the kill, er, kiss, and she looks pleasantly taken aback. Her body language is classic "palming", a woman will unconsciously show her palm to a man she finds attractive when they are interacting. Just my imagination working overtime, probably. ;)
Sorry, the palm pics are the other ones with Jake and Penny. This one they could be dancing too. :)
Penelope is hot. I'm a straight woman (I think :D) and I wouldn't say no. ;)
I love this pic with Penny and Jake. He was sure blessed with beautiful eyes, lips and hands. Penelope is beautiful, I agree. I loved her vintage gown at the Oscars too. :)
To be fair, I thought Reese looked beautiful at the Montblanc UNICEF thing. I liked her hairstyle.
Reese never looked beautiful.
There's a warmth about Penelope that's very appealing, same as Aniston.
Yes, and Angelina looked great last night, with the contrast of the black dress and the green of her jewelry.
There's a warmth about Penelope that's very appealing, same as Aniston.
IA.
Kate has that warmth too!
Kate Winslet's Prophetic Joke: Holocaust = Oscar
Talk about a self-fulfilling prophecy!
As excited as she was about her big Best Actress win at the Oscars last night, Kate Winslet surely saw it coming. In fact, she predicted only a few years ago that participating in a Holocaust film not unlike The Reader might bring her a little gold man!
In 2005, the much-lauded actress appeared on the comedy series Extras playing herself. When Ricky Gervais' character commends the actress for doing a Holocaust movie, she tells him it has nothing to do with spreading the message.
"I don't think we need another film about the Holocaust, do we?" her character version of herself says. "It's like how many have there been? We get it. It was grim. Move on. No, I'm doing it because I've noticed that if you do a film about the Holocaust, [you're] guaranteed an Oscar. I've been nominated four times—never won. The whole world is going, 'Why hasn't Winslet won one?' That's it. That's why I'm doing it. Schindler's bloody List. The Pianist. Oscars coming out of their ass!"
Extras video clip
If Jake is bi and dating Reese, he's losing more and more interest in her I believe. At first it seems he was after her, ya know, Oscar winner, B.O. star R.W. Now it looks she is more into him and clingy (you all noticed how she held his hand and his hand was open). Won't last for too long. Shame he acted like a fool while with her even in times he shouldn't have. I think he's coming to his senses slowly.
Ok, I'm not a Jake and Reese fan, but they look damn good on at the party's / Oscars. If anyone says other, they are blind and don't want them to look good. Hey, I don't either, but they do. And were the hell is Austin? Austin puts up with this shit? Please. Jake is bisexual regardless of what anyone wants to call him. Reese needs him more than he needs her and I'm sure he has figured this out now. They may last but I don't see it. In any event Jake and Reese showing up at the events together holding hands says alot. Wonder who Jake is dealing with on the side because I'm sure it's not Austin. I have more respect for the both of them and don't think that the both of them would stoop to this, or Austin is one dumb person!!!!
I did notice that Jake's hand was open as Reese gripped it. If it doesn't work out, I sure wouldn't mind seeing him with Penny, if he isn't with Austin.
Kate has that warmth too!
She sure does - I love her.
And a bisexual man is very appealing. :)
Ok, I'm not a Jake and Reese fan, but they look damn good on at the party's / Oscars.
Reese looks like shit, her dress is beyond awful. Reeke managed 1 good picture.
Average Reeke photo op.
"In any event Jake and Reese showing up at the events together holding hands says alot."
Shouldn't you be doing your 5th grade homework now?
Jake is bisexual regardless of what anyone wants to call him.
Jake is gay.
In any event Jake and Reese showing up at the events together holding hands says alot.
ROFLMAO!
Sorry, you blew it.
"don't want them to look good."
Doesn't matter what I or anyone WANTS. They still look fake and Reese looks like shit.
"^^Doesn't look he's begging off with a headache to me, either! He's leaning in for the kill, er, kiss, and she looks pleasantly taken aback.

Yes your hetero imagination is working way overtime.
Ever tried calf-roping?
^^LOL
Do I look like I can afford an effin' ropin' horse? :)
anons 5:58, 5:59- 1 and 2, 6:02 and 6:03. Get over yourself please. Getting mad at Reese and talking shit about her is your norm ok, but they did look good together no matter what Jake's sexuality is. No need to get your panties twisted.
6:18 PM
Sorry, I do think what I said earlier. Reese Witherspoon is fugly, her makeup was bad and the dress was horrible.
Jake and Reese looked fake as usual.
DL comments about Oscar presenter Reese Witherspoon:
The chin arrived before the rest of the head.
Ewwww. Chisel jaw in a hideous gown.
Reese looks like shit
Reese -- UGLIEST dress of the night. UGH.
Reese is wearing the same dress as Queen Latifah was! Deep blue with the black draped across it! I hope they post together after the show, it's hilarious.
Is Reece's dress supposed to be that way?
Here's our Glenda from upcoming WICKED, Miss Witherspoon.
Wow, Reese looks rough. Is she wearing a sash
Reese is giving out Best Director? Wow, such little respect for such an important award.
My God, Reese's VOICE...help!!! Why do so many American women have such godawful voices?
Reese is just weaering too much mascara/eye makeup. Too goth...
Reese's little miss precious routine is so fake.
Agree ..... Reese is wearing the ugliest dress of the ceremony.
anons 5:58, 5:59- 1 and 2, 6:02 and 6:03. Get over yourself please. Getting mad at Reese and talking shit about her is your norm ok, but they did look good together no matter what Jake's sexuality is. No need to get your panties twisted"
lets see, I am none of the above. yet I think they are a couple of zombies together, and Reese is the ugliest thing going.
I dont any panties in a twist besides yours. must be uncomfortable.
6:18 you better get over to Data Lounge, EW, every fucking site on the net who has no love for your precious Reese, and tell them to "get over themselves". Hurry up, time's a wastin!
Jake and all those women at the VF party - babblers must be soooo happy after seeing Jake The Heterosexual in action. lol
"look good together"
?? When, like when she was dragging him inside with her death grip? Or the phony "look at each other" pic? Don't confuse nice lighting, shiny party clothes and professional photogs with "looking good together".
LOL 6.39. Little do Babblers know he was asking the women for beauty tips.
"Jake and all those women at the VF party - babblers must be soooo happy after seeing Jake The Heterosexual in action. lol"
Guess they've never seen a charming gay guy put on the dog and speaking of dogs, gawd, that woman looks like a Pekingese.
Post-Oscar Roundup: John Snaps Hotties, Jen Hisses
Another pert pair in date mode was…
Ryan Phillippe and Abbie Cornish. Ry stroked his gal's back, and the two were practically inseparable the whole night despite the fact that Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon were mere feet away. As far as we've heard, there wasn't really any awkwardness with the foursome, but then Reese wasn't rushing up to give greeting hugs to her ex-hubby, either. And Jake just stood there like a frog on a George Clooney's hog. Just do not get this one. A double date more likely to happen (and sizzle) is…
Leonardo DiCaprio and Bar Rafaeli with Djimon Hounsou and fiancée Kimora Lee. ...

I think Jake is bi, and Austin is a fool. Both Austin and Reese will be dumped eventually.
Jake has not meet the one yet, but when he does, those two will be history.

Never.

Re: Ted's comments on Reese, Jake, Ryan and Abbe, just what would he expect? So, they didn't hang out with each other. I wouldn't expect them to do so. George Clooney' hog, wtf? Ted should just not make comments if what he says is going to be so damn inane, especially since he wasn't at the party and is relying on second hand interpretations.
6:59, I love you. Dump the midget! Dump the giraffe! The countdown begins.
Michael Musto: ...And Sean Penn won Best Actor, not only because he was terrific, but because the Oscars love nothing more than a straight person who plays gay, especially if he dies at the end. Only Jake Gyllenhaal broke this rule, maybe because they weren't sure he's straight?
Did Musto ever write about Jake?
Hey you know it works. Everybody is buying it.
Owwwww! Her fingernails ARE painted black. Toenails, too, I bet.
http://www.hollywire.com/2009-oscars/cutest-oscar-couples/
All these couples are cuter IMO. Reese has a death grip on him.
I think Kate and Sam make a great couple - and I thought Zac Efron had the sweetest personality.
"Only Jake Gyllenhaal broke this rule, maybe because they weren't sure he's straight?
Did Musto ever write about Jake?"
I don't know, but Musto is one of the sharpest cultural critics around. But he's pulling his punches when it comes to Jake. The real question bothering Hollywood is not whether Jake is gay because everyone knows that he is. Only a true queen looks gayer with his beard than alone or with other straight-acting men. JG is a gay as a goose, people.
No, the only real question for Hollywood is how far he'll wander into the closet in order to revive his faltering career and blot out the pain of his extremely dysfunctional, disintegrating family.
You mean Maggie and Peter, the ones he looked so happy with a week or so back? Didn't look like a disintegrating family to me.
But agree with you about people wondering how far into the closet he'll go. Engagement? Marriage?
Depression? Suicide?
"No, the only real question for Hollywood is how far he'll wander into the closet in order to revive his faltering career and blot out the pain of his extremely dysfunctional, disintegrating family."
Hollywood don't care of BS, it's just in your mind!!!!

Okay but it's Ted's JOB to comment. That's what he's paid to do. How come you don't say Lainey or Perez or anyone else shouldn't comment? Only Ted.
Secondly, what has he said that's so bad about anyone? In fact he's been pretty neutral. He hasn't said there was fireworks or displays of petulance, he's told it as he's heard it (and claimed "heard" second sources which is being honest). He's just said they were standing round, basically ignoring one another and Jake looked bored.
Which Jake did. I have to say from the after show picture I saw of him with Reese he seemed more interested in perusing the ceiling.
Hollywood don't care of BS, it's just in your mind!!!!
What are you, 11 years old?
Hollywood doesn't care about Jake as a person, it cares about Jake Part of the 150 Million Dollars Product Gyllenhaal.
And Jake just stood there like a frog on a George Clooney's hog.

BATALI GOES BLEEP IN MIAMI
MARIO "Fanta Pants" Batali unleashed a profanity-laced tirade in front of King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia of Spain at the $1,000-a-plate South Beach Wine & Food Festival. Angry that guests were blabbing, Batali bellowed, "All you weasel [bleep]wads in the back corners, can I have 10 seconds of your time?" Then, noting José Andrés' eatery The Bazaar had received four stars from the LA Times, the beefy "Iron Chef" bellowed, "The most mother[bleep]ers stars of any Spanish restaurant in the US." By the end of the night, the Miami Herald reports, Batali "was crocked," according to witnesses, and "even grabbing Andrés' butt at one point and making quick, crude humping motions." Batali, dubbed "Fanta Pants" for his orange shorts, told The Post later: "I would never call my fans "weasel [bleep]wads." Asked about the other F-bomb, he confessed, "Well, I say the word 'mother[bleep]er' a lot."

JUST ASKING
WHICH actor snorted cocaine in the bathroom during an Oscar after-party, while a slimmed-down stoner actor smoked pot outside with his pals?
And Jake just stood there like a frog on a George Clooney's hog.
Lately there's been Toothy/Jake/George Clooney references from Ted. Like Toothy wishes his bf was like GC, another 1 or 2 I can't remember, now this one. Was/is there a Jake/GC flirtation, or a definate sex encounter, or are these GC references for theoretical purposes? It's interesting why Ted's been putting GC into it. Sorry for the long post, couldn't sleep.. did some "frog on a hog" research instead. Some theories:
1. Is Ted pointing to this Frog on a Hog faux movie poster? It says "Frog on a Hog. Live Hard. Ride Green." It's a weird coincidence especially since Jake just did that Green Global photo op. The names on the poster too.. strange. You guys can interpret them, like Lewbowski. I never saw the movie.
2. Clooney's beloved 300 pound pet pot-bellied pig, Max who even slept in his bed with him, died at the end of 2006. Which was around the same time Reese filed for divorce from Ryan. George says he's not going to get another pig, one was enough. Is Ted saying something about Reese, her dead marriage, Jake leaping at the opportunity to have her as his beard because she's not going to get another pig? A perfect long time beard is someone who isn't going to get involved in a real relationship.
And Jake just stood there like a frog on a George Clooney's hog.
3. Harley Davidson motorcycles are called hogs and George has at least one. Maybe he gave Jake a ride on the streets around town although I can't see Jake on a motorcycle. Or maybe Ted means a different kind of ride, doing the leapfrog nasty standing up in a dark parking lot or garage.
4. Also a big fat hog is a penis, and frogs have big eyes and long tongues. "like a frog on a George Clooney's hog" could Ted mean Jake at VF party was standing there with his mouth open and eyes bulging? And/or was Ted referring to a past sexual encounter between them?
5. Or maybe Ted means Jake with Reese is like this frog. He's passive, he goes into whatever pose they mold him into, it looks like he's riding it but in truth nothing's moving, it's all for show, and he's not going anywhere. And if you watch the vid notice the frog's crotch. Nothing. Exactly how Jake is ball-less now with Reese.
Wow Lily pad, you shoud offer your research services to Ted :)
Is Ted pointing to this Frog on a Hog faux movie poster? It says "Frog on a Hog. Live Hard. Ride Green."
LOL
You may be onto something there, Lilypad. Nice piece of investigative work. I'm terrible at Tedspeak but it does seem kind of interesting for him to mention George Clooney again in a TT mention.
Jake's IHJ Vanity fair pics all have an average of 300 hits at most. What a switch from his average 2-3 years ago when it was 5,000. He needs to get a new team, hire a new manager, do a change-up, maybe retire, something. His game isn't at the major league level anymore.
Harley Davidson motorcycles are called hogs and George has at least one.
That would be my guess. "A frog on a hog = out of place, not comfortable, awkward" makes sense.
Jake's IHJ Vanity fair pics all have an average of 300 hits at most.
Under the boring bearding circumstances that's not too bad.
Is Ryan Seacrest's Sexuality No Longer In Question?
On E!'s Oscars red carpet pre-show last night, celebrities openly made gay jokes about Ryan Seacrest (Jay Manuel, Evan Rachel Wood) to the point that his rumored homosexuality has gone from latent to blatant.
video clip
Here are some snippets of backstage gossip from the Oscars: in the Spanish bit at the end of Penelope Cruz's speech she dedicated her Oscar to her fellow actors and citizens in Spain and thanked them for sharing in her happiness. There was an audible gasp in the press room when they cut to Brad and Angie while Aniston was on stage.
Dustin Lance Black, the Original Screenplay winner for Milk said he wanted to "pay it forward" by giving his pro-gay rights acceptance speech. Tearing up, he told a reporter, "Harvey gave me his story, and it saved my life…I just wanted to tell those kids out there it'll be all right." [Yahoo]
Mickey Rourke says he's getting a new chihuahua this week and he's going to name it Oscar. [Radar]
Mel Gibson says he called Britney during her crazy times: "She's a nice kid, ya know. She was just going through a rough patch. You see kids that you know in the industry… I just felt like this poor kid she's lining up to be stoned. I just thought, 'I wonder if anyone is reaching out to her,' so I just called her and she's doing great now." Mel also said he thinks he should have called Heath Ledger, which actually would have made more sense than calling Brit since they worked together on The Patriot. [Perez Hilton]
On the red carpet, Mickey Rourke told a reporter: "I said to myself, 'I would rather have Loki for another two years than have an Oscar,' and I told her that, you know. But she stayed as long as she could." [E!]
Did you know that Oscar winners are obliged to sign winners' agreements? The agreements say if they or their heirs ever decide to part ways with their Oscars, they must offer to sell the awards back to the Academy for $1 each. Matilda Ledger will have to sign this when she turns 18, apparently. [E!]
George Clooney is in Darfur, but the United Nations is pulling his security escort, since he has been speaking out on the troubles in the area. Please Cloons, be careful! [Daily Express]
Nicholas Kristof says he and George Clooney are bunking in a tiny room in a guest house and "George's side of the room has a big splotch of something that sure looks like blood." [NY Times]
Georgy, please take care, I'm counting on you!
Take care, George!

Reeke VF party pictures:
Mommy and son - That's what these pics look like... you could caption thses pics: After going Christmas shopping Reese Witherspoon leads her son, Jake Gyllenhaal, through a crowded mall trying to remember where she parked....
....while firmly gripping his hand, trying not to show her anger and complete disgust at finding him yet again kissing a strange boy in the men's bathroom at Macy's.
You can gripe about VF all you want. You can make as much fun of Reeke as you want. But J/R were at one of the biggest industry events of the year on the biggest night of the year as an official couple while Austin was at home wondering how he wound up as a C-list actor on a D-list tv show, stuck at home on Oscar night while his boyfriend gets to hang out with the real players.
Would some one please explain to me what Austin gets out of this? I just can't believe he would put up with this out of love. That would just be too pathetic. There has got to be some other reason.
J and R, I get. Austin, I don't get.

Would some one please explain to me what Austin gets out of this?
His loved one is working hard to keep his career alive and Austin should complain about it? Why?
Lawgoddess is smart-mouthing about how miserable they look. As a matter of fact LG, Jake looks like he's about to cry in the picture you post, and in several others with Reese.
What's interesting, Lawgoddess, is that all you care about is how happy she looks, not how miserable he looks.
10:40 AM
I'm sure Austin would love to attend cool parties with Jake. But why would Austin envy Reese for being a faker, a beard?
Lawgoddess is smart-mouthing about how miserable they look.
Which posts?
If Ian posts any items about Jake being in love with Heath, it should be posted NONSTOP on DC--NONSTOP. (They'll ban you but screw them--annoy the lying homophobes).
10:58 #2, I saw the same pictures. Jake looks fine. You are misconstruing Lawgoddess's statements to suit your fiction. You don't have to like Lawgoddess, but what's the point of misinterpreting her statements?
I don't like Jake and Reese, but I am not going to make up what' not there. He looks happy enough to me.
10:58 #1, so are you saying Austin should be okay with the bearding because Jake needs to promote his career because Austin doesn't have one? Well, I guess at least one person in a couple needs to be successful.
10:40, lots of people were there. Jennifer and John Mayer were there (Ian thinks they're a fake) and Abbie/Ryan were there and supposedly, THEY acted like a real couple--touching each other and were inseparable.
Speaking of Clooney, I saw him yesterday on the Larry King show. He was talking to Larry live from D.C. He was there meeting with congressional folks to discuss his recent visit to Darfur. (I also imagine he was there visiting his dad who's teaching a journalism course at American University this semester). I was struck by how dapper he looked and how well spoken he is (unlike the usual Hollywood bubble brains).
God, he would be the perfect older man for Jake. And I bet if he snapped his fingers, Jake would drop anything and everything for him.
I don't like Jake and Reese, but I am not going to make up what' not there. He looks happy enough to me.
Jake looks happy when he's not around Reese.

Shut up!
You are misconstruing Lawgoddess's statements to suit your fiction. You don't have to like Lawgoddess, but what's the point of misinterpreting her statements?
Who's Lawgoddess? Where are her posts?

Someone should absolutely do this. *evil grin*
10:58 #1, so are you saying Austin should be okay with the bearding because Jake needs to promote his career because Austin doesn't have one?
No, I'm saying Austin could be OK with the bearding because it's not easy to be a gay actor in Hollywood and Austin would like Jake to be happy with his career.
11:12, if that was posted on DC, I think you may be surprised at the response. For a lot of those people, nothing would make them happier than the idea of Heath and Jake together.
Vanity Fair is more than a "cool party." This is about relationship building with and among the players. It's also about legitimizing relationships. It's where you bring the most important person in your life and make that statement by doing so. (It's yeah, I've got a boyfriend at home, but he's not important. It's more important to have a public girlfriend and that's why she's here with me)
George Clooney would be a great choice for Jake. Apparantly Jake thinks so too which is something Ted implied in a recent post.
And you're right, if George snapped his finger, Jake would dump Austin in a heartbeat.
This is just one of the reasons that I don't think the J/A relationship is true love (at least not on Jake's part)
So, I would like to know what Austin gets out of this too.
J and R, I get. Austin, I don't get.

I agree.Jake is travelling all around the planet with his beard and all Austin got was a free ticket to the Casanova premiere.
I just hope Jake compensates this guy with real good sex, other way, i can't understand it either.

It's just a party with a lot of celebrities, one of MANY. Has nothing to do with "legitimizing relationships", lol.

Great. A ticket to the movie premiere starring one of Jake's crushes (RIP Heath).
Jake is travelling all around the planet with his beard and all Austin got was a free ticket to the Casanova premiere.
So all Austin got was a free ticket to a film starring a guy Jake had a massive hard-on for. Very funny.
Jake was working and filming in Rome, New Mexico, South Carolina, London, Morocco.
And Toronto.

This is totally true, i've heard they also have a priest,just in case some celebrity couple decide to marry right there.
Oscar Night is the biggest night of the year.Vanity Fair is one of the biggest parties on that night. It is not just any party; it is a big deal.
11:45, I had forgotten about the Casanova pictures/premiere. How funny/sad is it to take your boyfriend to a movie starring your crush. And Austin didn't get a clue from that (like you are never going to be priority number one)? Is he dense? (And damn Heath was beautiful in that film.)
11:49, what is your point?
Oscar Night is the biggest night of the year.Vanity Fair is one of the biggest parties on that night. It is not just any party; it is a big deal.
It's a big industry party, that's all. Brad, Angelina and Tom Cruise weren't impressed enough to attend.
11:49, what is your point?
Most of the time Jake didn't travel the world with his beard as a tourist.
Jake was working and the beard was happy to use nice locations for photo ops.
*It's a big industry party, that's all*
I agree.
It was just another photo op,just like the coffe runs but with fancier clothes.
Jake, as a power bottom, would not hook up with Clooney. He needs someone he can manipulate.
You're missing 11:45's point. Reese and Jake got the high profile photos in these high profile/beautiful/romantic locations, doesn't matter if it was courtesy of her boyfriend's high profile location shoots. These images went around the world.
The only thing Jake provided for Austin was a ticket to his true love's movie.
Austin's an idiot. I do think Jake will get rid of him eventually, if he hasn't already.
I just don't think Jake loves him, but he's a useful outlet.
You're missing 11:45's point. Reese and Jake got the high profile photos in these high profile/beautiful/romantic locations, doesn't matter if it was courtesy of her boyfriend's high profile location shoots.
You are missing the point.
Would you rather be Jake's boyfriend or beard? Would you choose a weekend in a fancy hotel with a business associate over spending a weekend at home with someone you love? How can you even try to compare love and PR business?
So, 12:16, are you saying that Jake keeps Austin around because he's easy to manipulate?
That I could believe. But I still remember Ted's comment. I think Jake would make an exception for George.
12:31
At least Reese (beard) has a lot of $$$$
Austin can't even buy his own trousers
Speaking of Clooney, I saw him yesterday on the Larry King show. He was talking to Larry live from D.C. He was there meeting with congressional folks to discuss his recent visit to Darfur.
Clooney On Larry King Live 2-23-09
He looks happy enough to me.
Look at his face, not at hers. He doesn't look happy at all. He looks like mommy just gave him a spanking for saying he didn't want to go to the party.
At least Reese (beard) has a lot of $$$$ Austin can't even buy his own trousers
Prostitution is OK if the price is right? Do you think that money makes a person more worthy?
Lots of people esp. Babblers believe money is better than sex.
I'm not talking about sex - I'm talking about love, self-respect, character, true values.
"I'm not talking about sex - I'm talking about love, self-respect, character, true values"
Of course. Im joking. it is quite clear what you're talking about. IT'S A JOKE IT'S A JOKE PEOPLE. (SIGH)
1:09 PM
I shoot first and ask questions later.
Maybe Austin prefers the company of Atticus, Baby Tile and his real friends to a room full of show biz phonies.
This is totally true, i've heard they also have a priest,just in case some celebrity couple decide to marry right there.
LMAO!
