Kris Allen on his frustration with Christians who wouldn't accept Adam Lambert:
"There [were all these rumors] about how all the conservative, Christian people that would vote for me hate Adam and never want him to win because of who he is. Oh, it was so frustrating — really bad, because we are really good friends. Why can't everyone get along? It never made any sense for me to judge anyone, who they are. It frustrates me that people can't get along with people because of their differences. And I'll tell you what, especially Christians.
Christians have a hard time accepting people like Adam — liberal, from L.A., looks different, maybe acts a certain way. He's a great, great guy. They don't even give him a chance. And it's frustrating because I come from that. A lot of my friends are not that way, which I appreciate, but a lot of people in Arkansas or in the South or wherever are that way. We really hope that our relationship can be an inspiration to people. I could go on about that forever."

In every interview and TMZ ambush, Adam Lambert has played semi-coy about his sexuality. The American Idol runner up has never denied being gay, and everyone at the show knew his orientation, and the media all but confirmed where he stood after Queerty was blogging about it for the entire season. But Adam has never come out and said those two words: "I'm gay." In the next issue of Rolling Stone, however, he'll do just that. Why'd it take so long to acknowledge the obvious? Perhaps it's because American Idol's producers legally required him to stay mum.
It's no secret that Idol production company 19 Entertainment owns most every aspect of a contestant's life. That's the trade-off for competing on the show: Simon Fuller holds the deed to your soul in exchange for the chance at worldwide celebrity and riches. It also means 19 Entertainment gets to tell you what you're allowed to speak to the press about, and that includes your personal life.
Lambert's mother Leila reveals that not only has Lambert signed away his right to free speech, but so has she. "We signed a contract with Idol and unless it has been set up by them, I'm not allowed to answer," says Leila, acknowledging the deal Team Lambert struck with producers. Her statement also confirms the Rolling Stone interview where Lambert will "officially" come out is part of a packaged Idol press onslaught (because you didn't know before how music marketing worked).
Most significantly, however, is that because Lambert is instructed by 19 Entertainment on what to speak about publicly, this means Idol producers are on board not just with Lambert being openly gay, but with pushing that storyline as part of his artist profile.
Of course, they only permitted Lambert to speak about it after the show wrapped, but Rolling Stone will hit before Lambert's first album and tour does, which means they must be confident they can market a gay singer. And that, friends, is pretty remarkable.

Fingers crossed!
I just read on Perez that the Twilight girl and boy went to a hotel after dinner. Now I believe Ted alluded in the kissing column that these two have an affair in real life, hence the kissing off screen.
Normally we don't reprint full statements from anyone because, well, press releases read like garbage. But here's Barack Obama's full missive declaring June 2009 as "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month," which means we broke our own unwritten rule twice today, since this is such a bold move from the White House.
For the moment, we're going to let you have at it. We're not going to say things like "this is just more lip service without action from the president" or "we don't need someone who doesn't believe in marriage equality to approve of our own pride celebration" or "you're blatantly lying to us about efforts to repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell."
Instead, we'll acknowledge the statement for what it is: A recognition from the highest office in the nation that gay Americans should be proud.
THE WHITE HOUSE Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
June 1, 2009
LESBIAN, GAY, BISEXUAL, AND TRANSGENDER PRIDE MONTH, 2009
- - - - - - -
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
Forty years ago, patrons and supporters of the Stonewall Inn in New York City resisted police harassment that had become all too common for members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) community. Out of this resistance, the LGBT rights movement in America was born. During LGBT Pride Month, we commemorate the events of June 1969 and commit to achieving equal justice under law for LGBT Americans.
LGBT Americans have made, and continue to make, great and lasting contributions that continue to strengthen the fabric of American society. There are many well-respected LGBT leaders in all professional fields, including the arts and business communities. LGBT Americans also mobilized the Nation to respond to the domestic HIV/AIDS epidemic and have played a vital role in broadening this country's response to the HIV pandemic.
Due in no small part to the determination and dedication of the LGBT rights movement, more LGBT Americans are living their lives openly today than ever before. I am proud to be the first President to appoint openly LGBT candidates to Senate-confirmed positions in the first 100 days of an Administration. These individuals embody the best qualities we seek in public servants, and across my Administration — in both the White House and the Federal agencies — openly LGBT employees are doing their jobs with distinction and professionalism.
The LGBT rights movement has achieved great progress, but there is more work to be done. LGBT youth should feel safe to learn without the fear of harassment, and LGBT families and seniors should be allowed to live their lives with dignity and respect.
My Administration has partnered with the LGBT community to advance a wide range of initiatives. At the international level, I have joined efforts at the United Nations to decriminalize homosexuality around the world. Here at home, I continue to support measures to bring the full spectrum of equal rights to LGBT Americans. These measures include enhancing hate crimes laws, supporting civil unions and Federal rights for LGBT couples, outlawing discrimination in the workplace, ensuring adoption rights, and ending the existing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy in a way that strengthens our Armed Forces and our national security. We must also commit ourselves to fighting the HIV/AIDS epidemic by both reducing the number of HIV infections and providing care and support services to people living with HIV/AIDS across the United States.
These issues affect not only the LGBT community, but also our entire Nation. As long as the promise of equality for all remains unfulfilled, all Americans are affected. If we can work together to advance the principles upon which our Nation was founded, every American will benefit. During LGBT Pride Month, I call upon the LGBT community, the Congress, and the American people to work together to promote equal rights for all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim June 2009 as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Pride Month. I call upon the people of the United States to turn back discrimination and prejudice everywhere it exists.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of June, in the year of our Lord two thousand nine, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-third.
BARACK OBAMA
Thank you, Mr President! :)

I love how @ZacharyQuinto took a beard to the MTV Movie Awards. Really, queen! Seriously??? Ugh.
Zachary at the MTV movie awards
P.S. I don't believe Zachary Quinto has a beard.
I wonder why Jake and Maggie aren't interested in keeping the house. They could buy it. Lots of kids do.
"I wonder why Jake and Maggie aren't interested in keeping the house. They could buy it."
What makes you think that either of them could afford it?
Mr President,
Those are beautiful words. Now lets see some action. Where are those gay appointees working for you. Are they in the White House closets. I dont see any. You say the Supreme Court should be diverse. I dont see any gay judges on that court. You say it is time to end Dont Ask Dont Tell. Well do it. Your the one with the power.
Mr. President all Americans deserve the right to be married to the person they love.
Thanks for the lovely words and for proclaiming June as Pride month. Actually I think we have already done that but thanks for reckonizing it. I still have hope you will step up for real Mr. President. Gay Americans need action from you not words.
Other than the fact Zach was sitting next to a woman, is there any othere evidence of this so-called beard? People generally take anyone with them to those awards.
"I wonder why Jake and Maggie aren't interested in keeping the house. They could buy it."
What makes you think that either of them could afford it?
You don't think too working actors could get a loan?
*******oops two
"I wonder why Jake and Maggie aren't interested in keeping the house. They could buy it."
What makes you think that either of them could afford it?
Are you kidding? I don't know about Jake, but Maggie made a shit load of money from TDK, everyone in the movie did. They all get a percentage of the box office and the movie grossed something like 250 billon dollars last I heard and that doesn't even begin to cover the DVD sales. Maggie could probably afford to buy 20 houses like that.
Jakey, my casa is your casa. Always!
"Other than the fact Zach was sitting next to a woman, is there any othere evidence of this so-called beard?"
No.
If I were the adult child of two divorcing parents I don't think I'd want a house full of happy summer memories of a once nuclear family. Best to move on. There are plenty of houses for sale if they can't bear to away from MV.
So where, oh where is Mr. Witherbeard? With the evil paps always following him and Chinny how is it possible that he's been able to go out every day and there haven't been any paps to capture the moment? I thought the paps always hang out in those common places like public parks at 8am.
I'd want to keep a house I had happy memories in. Even on the Island, any house would bring memories back, so you might as well keep the one that's been in the family for years. His parents could sell it to one or both of them for some ridiculously low price, so that everybody wins. I'd hate to lose a place like that. :)
What makes you so sure that this house holds happy memeories for them?
Who isn't happy when they're away at their summer house?
"Who isn't happy when they're away at their summer house?"
Unhappy families are unhappy no matter where they are.
Cant imagine why Maggie/Peter or Jake would want to summer on the Vineyard now that the parents are divorced. Its a snobby community, and wouldnt much take to trashy Reese.
Obama 'Proclaims' June Gay Pride Month
Words and more empty words.
P.S. I don't believe Zachary Quinto has a beard.
He'll acquire one if he gets paid enough.
"They all get a percentage of the box office and the movie grossed something like 250 billon dollars last I heard and that doesn't even begin to cover the DVD sales. Maggie could probably afford to buy 20 houses like that."
LMFAO. 250 billion dollars, are you serious? TDK grossed over a billion dollars worldwide from tickets alone. Maggie probably made a lot less than the rest of the cast though, she isn't star power and her role was small. 20 houses? Yeah, right.
"Perez Twitter

Sitting next to a woman is bearding?!
What about Reese & Jake, Perez?? or they pay you to shut up?
"They all get a percentage of the box office and the movie grossed something like 250 billon dollars last I heard and that doesn't even begin to cover the DVD sales. Maggie could probably afford to buy 20 houses like that."
As said above, even though it made about 1 billion worldwide, doubt Maggie got any cut on the box office receipts. Those sort of deals only happen for really major stars, and usually when they put some of their own money back. If both Jake and Maggie are so rich they must really hate their parents, because most normal people help bail out close family members before they have to liquidate nearly all their assets (especially at a time when property is do depressed). Maybe HW families are different.
My KUGELSACK!!!!!!!!!
"What about Reese & Jake, Perez?? or they pay you to shut up?"
I hope you posted that on his shitpit.
Going after Zach for sitting next to a woman when he's getting paid moolah to keep his trap shut about massive star closet cases.
What a fucking wanker.
Perez outed Clooney all the time back when it was Page 666. He probably cut a deal with Clooney's agents for dirt on lesser stars in return for putting George back in the closet.
I presume the same thing took place with other celebs whom Perez no longer says are gay.
Happy Birthday, Wentworth!
Happy Birthday, Zachary!
No beard for Zachary :)

"This C list television/sometime film actress had one big hit on television and a nice steady paycheck from it for at least four or five years. Since then it has been hit or miss with television and movies with a more misses than hits. Anyway, this actress has a great story that she will share with anyone who will listen. It seems that on this hit show she had a female co-star who was not so much into guys if you know what I mean. However, it was more secret at that time then it is now. Anyway the co-star sat our C list actress down and without any kind of introduction or preamble or chit chat said, 'You know I f**k bi**ches right?' Our C list actress who couldn't believe they were having this conversation, said 'Oh yeah. Sure I knew,' even though she really wasn't 100% sure at that time either. Our co-star then said, 'Good. Just checking.' She then got up and walked away and presumably to tell another person." [CDaN]

Luna (Untitled Moon Project)
Genre: Sci-Fi Thriller
Premise: A renegade group of former space employees travels the world, stealing space equipment in an attempt to go back to the moon.
About: A relatively unknown project that's being directed by Doug Liman which will star Jake Gyllenhaal. The script was originally penned by Liman with the help of 'Along Came Polly' director John Hamburg, but has been rewritten by 'Black Hawk Down' scribe Mark Bowden. It's unclear which draft this is but I'm fairly certain it's the Bowden draft. Dan Mazeau and Ken Nolan are also credited with working on the screenplay.
Writer: Mark Bowden.
I have to say that Doug Liman is one of the more underrated directors out there. No one gives him any credit for Swingers but the guy figured out a way to balance Vaughn and Favreau's love for improvisation with a production schedule that couldn't afford second takes. He went on to do "Go", a cool kinetic flick that played with time and still managed to differentiate itself from all the Pulp Fiction clones going out at the time. Mr. & Mrs. Smith was a movie I was so sure I was going to hate that I had to literally be dragged to the theater. Somehow, the movie turned out to be a good time. Then he started a franchise in the Bourne movies that had no business being as big as they were - since Matt Damon's career was basically in the cellar when the first film premiered. His only misstep was the Hayden Christensen starrer "Jumper", which felt like the projectionist had accidentally fallen on the fast-forward button for the entirety of the movie. It's one of a handful of movies that actually felt like it chopped off too much film (but we did get to see Billy Elliot all grown up). So when I heard that Mr. Liman would be directing a big-budget semi-sci-fi flick about going to the moon, I wanted to check out the script.
A mysterious group of misfits is stealing rockets and boosters and, yes, even lunar landers from all over the world - even going so far as to leave "I.O.U.'s" in their wake. They appear to be a rogue collection of former space pilots and engineers led by a hot Eastern European woman named Anya. She's one of those "save the earth" type women...but on like a case of red bull. FBI and NASA officials find out that the group is following an outdated thesis project from an ex-NASA employee which proposes how to get to the moon at 1/10 the cost of any known mission. The author of this project is an Observation Center employee named Cole - a man who has no idea that any of this is going on.
Well he's about to. Because Cole is the last item on the list. One second he's staring at the moon, the next he's thrown into the back of a van, drugged, and when he wakes up, he's on a mission to the moon. Yes, Cole is sitting in the cockpit of an old rusted Kazakhstan rocket three seconds before liftoff! Cole is equal parts surprised, terrified, and sincerely pissed off.
Apparently Anya's group has dual motives: to mine Helium-3, a high performance energy source which can only be found on the moon and (I'm not kidding about this) to leave a Monk on the moon to establish a Lunar Lighthouse. Apparently nobody told Anya that the purpose of a Lighthouse is to guide incoming ships to safety. Since the only thing that's going to be heading towards the moon in the next 20 years is a meteor or two and the occasional Chinese satellite, I'd say Marco the Monk is going to have a a lot of free time on his hands. I hope he brought a Gameboy.
Well, because they're all amateurs and they don't have Houston on their side (the American space program refuses to help) they crash land, leaving them in the position of trying to figure out how to get back home. My interest started to fade long before this, but this was the breaking point. First of all, who cares if this team gets to the moon or not? We've already been to the moon, oh, what... 40 years ago. I wouldn't care if you told me my damn cousin was on the mission. Getting to the moon is old. There's nothing special about it, even if you were able to save a couple of dollars in the process. What's next? A renegade team that sends another rover to Mars? And maybe the two rovers clash for Martian supremacy? There could be some high drama in that. But seriously, all that happens is that they crash on a place we've already been before, and then try to find a way back. What's interesting about this?
You remember that movie, "Space Cowboys?" With Tommy Lee Jones and Clint Eastwood? The whole thing was about these old men going up into space. But what they did with that script is they added another element to the story. Once they were up there, they found out they had to fix this mysterious rouge satellite. The curiosity of what was behind that satellite added another dimension to the story that made it more than just a bunch of guys going into space. That's what "Luna" needed. That extra story element. What if they got to the moon and realized some country had a secret base there? What would the people occupying that base do to make sure the base's existence stayed secret? That's a story. Trying to get to the moon, crashing, then trying to get back isn't a story. I'm sorry but it isn't.
It was for this reason that I couldn't recommend Luna.
Script link: Luna
[ ] trash
[x] barely kept my interest
[ ] worth the read
[ ] impressive
[ ] genius
What I learned: One thing I will give Luna is that it's well-researched. While I wasn't always keen on the logic behind *why* they were doing this, everything seemed plausible and realistic because of how much research went into it. I believed that what they were doing was possible. A lot of writers don't do any research but it makes a difference. Readers know when a writer's bullshitting and professional writers almost always research their subject matter. So when someone comes along that doesn't, it sticks out like a sore thumb.

"They appear to be a rogue collection of former space pilots and engineers led by a hot Eastern European woman named Anya."
I thought that Jake would be the main lead.
"Arm in arm, Zachary Quinto and Hayden Panettiere leave Teddy's bar after the 2009 MTV Movie Awards afterparty last night."
They're both in "Heroes". Arm in arm?!
Zachary and Hayden are (only) friends and colleagues, but paparazzi agency / gossip site has to spice it up and make more interesting :)
"I thought that Jake would be the main lead."
Think again!
"One second he's staring at the moon, the next he's thrown into the back of a van, drugged, and when he wakes up, he's on a mission to the moon. Yes, Cole is sitting in the cockpit of an old rusted Kazakhstan rocket three seconds before liftoff!"
I guess Jake will play Cole.
Screenplay by Liman, Hamburg, Bowden, Mazeau and Ken Nolan - all of them were on drugs?
Adam Lambert: Boyfriend Bliss
Enjoying a fun-filled evening, Adam Lambert was spotted making his exit from the Guys and Dolls nightclub in West Hollywood last night (June 1).
The “American Idol” runner-up was holding hands with his boyfriend in a declaration of his much-speculated homosexuality.
Earlier in the week, Adam’s mom Leila Lambert was reticent to talk about her son’s sexuality during a phone interview with E!. She explained, “I would rather not answer until it comes out,” noting that she signed a contract with Idol forbidding her to discuss Adam’s personal life. It is rumored that Lambert will officially come out to Rolling Stone in the next issue.

Adam Lambert steps out with his boyfriend, holding hands with interior designer Drake LaBry, at Guys and Dolls nightclub in West Hollywood on Monday night (June 1).
Although the 27-year-old American Idol runner-up has never publicly stated that he’s gay, NY Post is reporting that Lambert will be coming out officially on the next cover of Rolling Stone.
FYI: Drake, 24, has been spotted in the Idol audience and backstage with Adam
JJ
Wow, Adam's boyfriend is really cute. Sexy too. They look happy together.
Adam decided not to wait for the Rolling Stone cover :)
Awww. What a cute couple! Hope they make it with all the public pressure.
I'm happy for them and I'm happy that we have one more gay and out celebrity couple.
*jealous*
I think you are Jake and it makes me sad.
Sad because Jake is bearding or sad because it's harder to be out if you're an actor?
*sigh*
"Adam Lambert was photographed leaving an LA club last night holding hands with rumored boyfriend Drake Labry ... on the first day of Gay Pride Month, no less."
Both. Sad because he lost his chance and decided to beard instead of going a different way and sad because he probably chose that path because it is more difficult to be an out in the film than in the music industry. I don't think it was an easy choice for Jake.
Dlisted has pap video of Adam and Drake arriving at the club.

Can't two grown men hold hands without being gay. God.
Lady GaGa would like to have a foursome with the Jonas Brothers. "I love them. They're very talented!" [Gatecrasher]
I can't believe Jake couldn't get any work by not coming out, but not bearding either. I do however think he may not have been able to get PoP without the bearding.
And I'll believe the Moon project is real when I actually read cameras are rolling.
Can't two grown men hold hands without being gay. God./
No.
"And I'll believe the Moon project is real when I actually read cameras are rolling."
After the Moon project script review, I hope that's not going to happen.

No one can have it all.
"Both. Sad because he lost his chance and decided to beard instead of going a different way and sad because he probably chose that path because it is more difficult to be an out in the film than in the music industry. I don't think it was an easy choice for Jake."
Since I think he is bi I am not sad at all.

You should be, Jake is gay and bearding.
By Stinson Carter
My mother flew 2,000 miles to be at my father's gay wedding. Twenty years ago she was just "his poor wife" to the gossips in our Louisiana hometown, and I was "their poor son." We lost a lot when my father came out of the closet: a business, a home, a church, a social standing -- the only thing we didn't lose was each other.
A few years ago, my father and his partner of 13 years got married in Portland, Oregon. But then groups were formed, fears were stoked, and six months after their courthouse vows, they received a letter reading: Dear Messrs. Carter and Martin, We regret to inform you that your marriage is no longer valid. Enclosed is a refund of all license fees. It became more of a family joke than a family disappointment, because laughter is sometimes the strongest form of defiance.
When California legalized gay marriage, my father and his husband planned a marriage here, hoping it would last longer than the six months of their Oregon attempt. They arranged for an intimate ceremony at a small hotel in the Sonoma Valley wine country. It was the first gay marriage that the officiant had ever performed, and what surprised him most about it was that my mother had come all the way from Texas to be there, and that I -- the straight son -- was as proud as I was to do a reading at the ceremony. To us it was no big deal; we learned years ago that if you don't know how to love around your differences, then you don't really know how to love. But the veteran officiant, a man who spends his life bearing witness to love, had never seen anything like it. He recognized that it wasn't just about the two gay men, but also about a family. And it was not about celebrating homosexuality as much as it was just about celebrating love.
Now "the people" of California have decided that the structure of my family is a threat to their children, to their lifestyle, to the sanctity of marriage, or to some combination of them all. The political arguments supporting gay marriage have been made by people who can make them far better than I can. And still, the opposition may never change their minds. But their children will, and if not them then their grandchildren. Because the seeds of their defeat are not the gays and lesbians lining up at the courthouses; the seeds of their defeat are the same as with any other civil rights issue in history -- truth and time.
If my mother and I can support the marriage of a man whose sexuality threw her life off course and jarred me into adulthood, then how is it that perfect strangers won't even do my father the courtesy of not going out of their way just to stand in his?

Prince Harry is gay as a goose. Well I guess that's not news.
I dont know who cares what Jake does anymore. He's as cold as yesterday's cream of wheat. and boring as cream cheese.
What a great post.
Anne Hathaway knows how to exit a car gracefully.
Go Anne
Jake started hyping the moon movie project two years ago, and all that they can come up with is this ridiculous storyline? This sounds like a cross between Mad, Mad world and Space cowboys. I thought that it was taking so long because the script was cerebral and complex, like 2001, Contact, Solaris or even AI. Instead, we have this dreck, and another fluffy comedy no less, just like Damn Yankees. After Brothers, when is Jake going to do another serious film?
What a mess.
"Since I think he is bi I am not sad at all."
I also think he's bi and that the thing with Reese is more showmance than romance. I knew he'll lose credibility dating her, I just knew it would happen.
Jake's a solid/good actor, he only needs to choose his projects wisely like he did up until Rendintion. He also needs to date someone else and if he's not secure enough (afraid to lose jobs) to date a man, then maybe a nice young woman? Anne perhaps? Maybe they liked each other more than some here think? No older woman with kids anymore. Please!
If he wants kids, he should make his OWN.
"Prince Harry is gay as a goose. Well I guess that's not news."
What?! It is news to me :)
"Anne Hathaway knows how to exit a car gracefully."
That is quite a task with short dress, long legs and high heels.
"After Brothers, when is Jake going to do another serious film?"
The question is - when is Jake going to do another film?
American Idol rock star du jour Adam Lambert seemed to be enjoying his newfound fame as he left West Hollywood bar Guys and Dolls Tuesday night with a man our sources have identified as his boyfriend, Drake LaBry.
What happened inside the club, however, might have been more snap worthy.
"He was kissing a guy (presumably LaBry), who I'm pretty sure was his boyfriend, as I stood with him while he waited for his car to arrive," a source told RadarOnline.com. "He is definitely gay, based on what I saw tonight."
The source said he was talking karma with the American Idol star for about ten minutes, and the 27-year-old was "so nice and gracious." A second source exclusively told RadarOnline.com that the Idol runner-up downed "glass after glass" of vodka.
The San Diego native was swarmed by flirty men, one whose neck he reportedly kissed, another he canoodled with on and off. "He was loving all the attention he was getting from the boys, and was inviting so many of them up to have drinks at his table," a source told RadarOnline.com. "He was dancing on a couch at one point, hanging with boys in the smoking section, and dirty dancing to (Black Eyed Peas hit) Boom Boom Pow with another guy!"
The 27-year-old talent, who has garnered comparisons to Freddie Mercury, has been coy with the media regarding the persistent rumors swirling about his sexuality. Adam "seemed to be having the time of his life" holding court amongst his starstruck public, our source said.
"He must be going crazy now that he's been let out of that American Idol cage," our source told RadarOnline.com exclusively. "Who knew he was such a partier!!!"

I think Anne's so admirable. She is so much more watchable than all the Natalie Portman's or Scarlett Johannson's in Hollywood. Anne has the talent, the look and the charisma that guarantee a long career.
All Anne needs is a bit of casting luck.
Every time someone mentions Anne Hathaway's name I check if I still have my money in my pocket
^^I just want to add that Anne isn't very difficult with parparazzi either. And what's most important, she supports gay rights.
That's one cool woman who deserves her success.
"All Anne needs is a bit of casting luck."
Her next movie is Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" with Johnny Depp. The Oscar nom for RGM opend some important doors for her.
"Every time someone mentions Anne Hathaway's name I check if I still have my money in my pocket"
It was her bf who was the thief. It's debatable whether she assumed something was faul or whether she really was completely oblivious. Only Anne knows.
Hathaway is among one of the stars who will be presenting at this year's Tony Awards which also includes Kevin Spacey, Susan Sarandon and Nicole Kidman. Neil Patrick Harris will host.
Anne Hathaway (1556 – 1623) was the wife of William Shakespeare.
Anne Hathaway will star as Viola in the Public Theater's Shakespeare in the Park production of Twelfth Night this summer.
Daniel Sullivan will direct Twelfth Night, which will kick off the summer of free theatre at the Delacorte Theater in Central Park. Twelfth Night will run June 9-July 12.
Did you know that Anne attended the Coachella Music Festival? Now she's a bigger star than Jakey and Reesey, yet no pics of her, but she was there, there were sightings of her and it was mentioned in a couple of articles. This shows, you can be a big star and still live off the radar most of the time if you want it.
No 100+ pictures?! What a loser!
4:59 PM, I hope Anne will get good reviews for the play.
IMHO, she's by far the most interesting and nicest person out of the living BBM cast members.
"No 100+ pictures?! What a loser!"
STFU Reese!
Dear Ted:
When I saw "There Oughta Be a Word" on your homepage, the first thing that came to mind was that you were going to talk about how Adam lost because he's proudly gay. Remember the early human called Homo Erectus? Seems a few evolved into Homo Rejectus.
—Karen
Dear Please:
There's nothing "proudly" gay about Adam Lambert! Once he actually comes out, then, maybe.

Dear Ted:
I do love your blog, I read it every day, and I love the Blind Vices, so I was wondering, is Dommy Do Right Katherine Heigl and is Toothy T.R. Knight?
—R. Castela
Dear Way Off:
Sorry, but T.R. is out of the closet, so he can't be Toothy! As for Kath, right hair color, but wrong bad 'tude gal.
Her next movie is Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" with Johnny Depp. The Oscar nom for RGM opend some important doors for her."
Not to mention she had the good fortune of being in the HUGE hit, "Devil Wears Prada." Her character was cardboard ingenue but that further launched Anne into the stratosphere.

True.
"Devil wears Prada" was for Anne what "Legally Blonde" was for Reese.
both movies are tremendous pieces of crap, but they were the lucky ticket for this 2 manufactured new HW starlets.
I think you need the necessary charisma to put bums in the seats, Anne has it and, like it or not, Reese had (has?) it too.
Reese and charisma? LMAO!
People love silly comedies.
With a Christmas 2011 debut in the U.S., Steven Spielberg's The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn finally has a release date! But the more important question: On the big screen, will Tintin be a big 'mo? (Or racist?) Probably not, but there will be gay appeal: Tintin will be played by Jamie Bell, star of Billy Elliot, the gayest of all non-gay-specific gay ballet plays. Also co-starring: Daniel Craig. Yum. The "3-D motion-capture event" flick will debut abroad weeks before the U.S. roll out. The Examiner has more.

Find Anne a cold fish, though good actor. As for Reese, charisma? Cartoon character, she is. That's about it.
Cuntara deleted her post about Gyllenhaal's MV house, but Google was quicker:

Luna (Untitled Moon Project) comments:
I have to point out that Damon made many far better post-Oscar career choices then SOME actors we might name, but won't, ahem coughcoughArmageddoncoughPearlHarborcough.
It's a clear indicator of the boredom evoked by Luna that this comment section became a debate about Matt Damon...

I think that was the interesting thing. You had Affleck who took one path (all Hollywood movies) and Damon who picked another (serious roles) and you got to see which was the better choice. It looked for awhile like Affleck made the better choice, but then he met J. Lo and became a joke. Damon may have gotten noticed by some critics, but audiences weren't seeing his movies. Just at the moment where you were sure Affleck made the right choice and Damon the wrong one, it reversed. So I guess Damon was right. But it should be noted that the movie that got him back on the radar wasn't an artsy flick. It was a big action movie. Albeit one with a little more weight than your average action film.

"It looked for awhile like Affleck made the better choice, but then he met J. Lo and became a joke. "
Reeke anyone? Jake made such a big mistake hooking up with her. Someone should slap a bit of sense into his brain. Or is it too late?
It's not to late, but who will slap him?
It's not too late, but who will slap him? Any volunteers? Chris?
"It's not to late, but who will slap him?"
I'd do it if I could. ;) But since I can't, maybe someone who is really worried about his reputation and career? Who would that be?
"Chris?"
I feel Reese bribed him already. :(
What?
OK, I'll play. Bribe Chris to do what?
"Bribe Chris to do what?"
Wasn't there some indication that he cooked at her place in Ojai and served his food there for some occasion? I think Reese is totally kissing Jake's family's and friend's asses. Someone noticed that she wore a bag from Columbia uni and you all know that Naomi and Maggie graduated there and Jake studied there for a few semesters.
"Wasn't there some indication that he cooked at her place in Ojai"
No, nothing to do with Reese.
We posted pictures and info about the organisation, event and Ojai houses. Chris cooked for the event, someone else was in charge and all that took place in someone else's Ojai house (there are pictures).
Reese is using everyone when she can, including Jake's family and friends, but smug bitch doesn't give a fuck about them and I'm sure the feeling is mutual.
7:23 PM
You might have noticed that Reese used Atticus for fauxmance PR, too. The woman is shameless.
"Reese is using everyone when she can, including Jake's family and friends, but smug bitch doesn't give a fuck about them"
Duh! ;)

Fuck you Ted Casablanca!!! The kid goes out and holds hands openly with his BF but he's still not "proudly gay" enough for you??? How about all the loose you've been cutting his majesty Toothy Tile all these years? So Mr. T, always ready to support HW's closet but not an HW outsider who's not ashamed to show he loves a guy? Again, fuck you TC!!!
Has somebody kept Cantara's post about the Gyllenhaal MV house? I can't find it anywhere.
Wow, between them, Adam and bf have all the stereotypical traits of gay men covered.
I just read some Cantara blog posts. She seems to think she is the reason SG left Naomi. Even she is batsh*t crazy or Stephen is.
Fuck you Ted Casablanca!!!
ITA 100%.
Straight people don't make big pronouncements. It's be one thing if Adam was out with the boyfriend and they were standing 10 feet apart, or say, doing something like biking where nobody could see how you interact emotionally. But I really don't get why anyone would think being seen holding hands with your boyfriend in a way that leaves no doubt isn't enough?
ok, i have to ask: were the pictures of adam holding hands from today and ted's pronouncements from yesterday? maybe he (ted) didn't see them.
Adam and whathisname look like a pretentious gay couple. Adam and Kris are so much cuter together. Too bad Kris is taken, and not gay.
Are you the same person who keeps insisting Jake would be better off with Heath?
If so, I'm tired of your homophobia, always knocking the gay partner and trying to link the star with a straight man.
Adam prefers gay men, anyone can see that.
6/1 6:32 am: "no Jakey-poop at the Green Global"
god I hope not!
"Fuck you Ted Casablanca!!!"
Hey, be gentle with openly gay and married men ;)
Maybe Ted wrote that answer before Adam and Drake pictures?
"no Jakey-poop at the Green Global"
god I hope not! /
Why?
Too many people believe and take seriously everything Ted says,scaring!
Maybe when you realise he only tells shit to amuse the gallery, it will be a "big step".
What shit?
"Has somebody kept Cantara's post about the Gyllenhaal MV house? I can't find it anywhere."
Post was gone by the time I've received Google alert about it. Looks like she was quick to delete it, maybe Stephen complained?
I'm disappointed by Ted! What the hell do you have to do to tell the world you are gay. Adam hasn't denied it, there are pictures of him kissing men and he goes out to a gay club hand in hand with his undeniably gay boyfriend and it still isn't enough. NO, you have an obligation to give and interview saying "I'm gay" or else every gay blogger will hang you for staying in the closet, not being proud or out enough and therefore killing gay kids. This is bullshit!!!
"Wow, between them, Adam and bf have all the stereotypical traits of gay men covered."
Ain't Nothing Wrong With That.
"I'm disappointed by Ted!"
Ted was a gay kid in Texas and that must have sucked big time. Saying "I'm gay" is still important.
"Ted was a gay kid in Texas and that must have sucked big time."
That may be but how is that Adam's fault? I don't get the bitchiness when someone finally does open the closet door. What kind of a message does that give those deeper in the closet or gay teens? I find it sad that not only are the haters and homophobes mean but the the gay community is too. Nothing is enough, nobody is a good enough embassador and god forbid if you are a queen. That is somhow supporting the stereotypes and again being a bad role model. Support your own people!!
I think we could agree that Ted supports gays and gay issues.
Maybe he didn't see new pictures of Adman and Drake, or maybe he considers only "I'm gay" statement as coming out.
Jodie Foster is a good example of living as a lesbian and not being out.

LEONARDO KEEPS LOW
LEONARDO DiCaprio likes keeping a low profile. He was so nondescript in sunglasses and a baseball hat when he showed up on a bicycle at the Garden of Ono club at the Hotel Gansevoort that he was carded at the door. After realizing who he was, the doorman let him in, bike and all. On Sunday, a similarly dressed-down DiCaprio took his mom and three pals out for dinner at the Boat House in Central Park.
"Adam and Kris are so much cuter together. Too bad Kris is taken, and not gay."
Two minor details ;)
"I'm disappointed by Ted!"
I can understand that.
I'm disappointed by Jodie Foster, Anderson Cooper, Queen Latifah and Ricky Martin.
When Adam Lambert Was a Boy
Sure, you can see Adam Lambert as he is today, proudly walking hand-in-hand with the boyfriend. But what about when Lambert was a normal kid, hanging out with the family?

Hey, think it's safe now to share with all fellow OMG'ers. I have joined the Club of One (namely JerseyTom) in those who have heard back from Ted. No, my email's not gotten published, but I did get an email from His Casablancadness. I was just getting kind of fed up with his vanilla, tapioca pudding comments lately and tried to call him out on it. Here's what I sent to Ted back on Wed, 5/27:
Ted, you seem to have done a big 5K walk backwards from 1) the existance of Baby Tile and 2) the phoniness of TT and his fauxmance with ladybeard. Do you have the guts to 1) admit Baby Tile was as made up as the story Harold & the Big Purple Crayon and 2) that maybe, just maybe, you've been had & bought, thus your 2009 TT Drought and in fact, what can only be called a total withdrawal from the fighting lines. Signed, Brave Enough to Call You Out on It /
My first initial response I got right away:
Thanks mucho for emailing Ted Casablanca. He's a busy dude,
and he's going to do his friggin' best to get back to ya.
And thanks again for the email--even if you're a meanie.

Hey, the last & only other time I tried to send something in, I didn't even get that!
Next post, I'll put up what he answered me with. Now, I have to put a little "xxx" where he typed my name because, well, I'm embarrassed about my real name, LOL!

Okay, then on Fri, 5/29, I got home late that night to find this waiting in my email mailbox:
Hey XXX, nice try.
Nope. They’re real.
Have a great weekend,

Posted on OMG by M
Prairie Girl, based on the way the questions were worded, I think Ted is saying they are real - 1. Baby Tile is real and 2. the phoniness of the fauxmance is real. Ted is a master of word-smithing, that's for sure. I had no idea he responds directly to emails. Good to know. I have emailed him once or twice but never got a reply or a published reply.

Jim Sheridan and Natalie Portman interview.
Interview
Adam Lambert is not in the same category as Jodie Foster. Adam's boyfriend sat in the audience with his family for AI, something rightly seen as a big to do for Adam. Jodie never took her girlfriend to the Oscars. Jodie was rarely seen in public with her girlfriend, never held hands with her, never went to a gay bar. Same can be said for all the others in the glass closet.
Adam is not in the closet.
"Jim Sheridan and Natalie Portman interview."
That site is too clever for me - where is the interview?
"Jodie never took her girlfriend to the Oscars."
Jodie and her girlfriend Cydney Bernard take care of the kids: Kit Bernard Foster and Charles Bernard Foster. Is Jodie out?
"That site is too clever for me - where is the interview?"
Immediately when you open it! I wonder why you can't watch it? I have no problems.
Video interview, I see. No errors, but no interview for me either :)
Anything interesting about Brothers?
The New Hampshire legislature will vote on its revised marriage equality bill today.
A victory would make it the sixth state to legalize same-sex marriage.
"Anything interesting about Brothers?"
Jim talked about Jake at the end of the interview. He said that there was a disagreement regarding a scene in the movie and he found Jake's POV odd. The rest of the interview is pretty boring
Not sure I understand you 9:53, what does taking care of the kids have to do with going to the Oscars?
IMO Jodie is not out. During her last movie promotion she gave an interview to Parade in which she claimed to have never had the time to find anyone/fall in love.
And Cyndy is history.
Regarding the scene: Jim said that maybe Americans deal with conflicts differently now and maybe Jake was right. That's how I understood it.
"He said that there was a disagreement regarding a scene in the movie and he found Jake's POV odd."
Come on Mr Sheridan, we need details!
"Jim said that maybe Americans deal with conflicts differently now and maybe Jake was right."
"Now" compared to when Sheridan was younger or ...?
"That's how I understood it."
You should watch it again because he doesn't say Jake was right. What he says is that Jake didn't want to go emotionally the places he wanted because it wasn't cool. Jim found that odd.
"what does taking care of the kids have to do with going to the Oscars?"
Going to the Oscars doesn't mean much.
Living and having kids together is/was a committed gay relationship, it's a big deal, but Jodie still isn't out.
Jake refused to punch Tobey. lol
Extremely interesting Sheridan wanted something from Jake he couldnt get.
I feel your pain, sir. I have the same problem.
""Now" compared to when Sheridan was younger or ...?"
I don't know what he meant with now, but yes, probably in comparison with back in the day. He said he thought Americans burry their problems and try to avoid conflics. In a scene he wanted Jake to show emotions like anger towards his family, but Jake didn't want to do that and this led Mr. S. to think Americans like to avoid fighting.
Jake didn't want to do that?
Wait a minute, who was directing that movie?
I'm not an English native speaker and I had some problems understanding everything properly. If I said something that wasn't actually said in the interview, I apologize.
Extremely interesting Sheridan wanted something from Jake he couldnt get.
I feel your pain, sir. I have the same problem. /
What do you want from Jake?
Can someone explain what Sheridan meant with the "2 or 3 fathers" comment?
"Extremely interesting Sheridan wanted something from Jake he couldnt get.
I feel your pain, sir. I have the same problem. /"
"What do you want from Jake?"
Are you serious?
This is the second director (after Fincher) who's tried to break down Jake's smart ass attitude.
Gavin Hood didnt have time to go for character development. Brad Silberman didnt know how.
Ang did it slantwise: very clever, these Taiwanese.
"This is the second director (after Fincher) who's tried to break down Jake's smart ass attitude."
Sheridan wanted Jake to show emotions like anger towards his family, but Jake didn't want to do that - that doesn't sound like smart ass attitude.

Okay, I know some took this to mean that Baby tile is real and the showmance is just that, from Ted'd reply. But, I see two problems with this. First, Prairie Girl was being too cute by half in writing her questions. By not being clear, consise and terse, you make it possible for Ted to avoid a clear cut answer. And two, Ted's use of the word "They're" could refer to Baby Tile and the showmance, or could be construed to mean only the showmance and that it actually is real or perhaps, Jake and Reese are for real. Again, he's not clear on purpose.
You can't play word games with Ted; it allows him too much plausible deniability.
Am I the only one who sees the problems with the question and the response?
No problem there.
Real showmance = Reeke is fake.
Plus - Baby Tile and "Reeke is real" are mutually exclusive.
"Sheridan wanted Jake to show emotions like anger towards his family, but Jake didn't want to do that - that doesn't sound like smart ass attitude."
Sheridan said Jake thot what S wanted in waya of emotion was not "cool"
that sounds smartass to me.
How do you get Baby Tile and Reeke are mutually exclusive? I thought Ted was saying that Baby Tile is real, and that the showmance is a real showmance.
And why did Ted answer this privatedly instead of putting this in his column. I've e-mailed him before, and he's never answered me privately. Is this something new?
11:27 AM
I love my work, I always have an opinion about how things should be done and I'm prepared to argue with my superiors about it.
I don't see anything wrong about it, nor do I see anything wrong with actors having an opinion about their characters and their character reactions.
"I thought Ted was saying that Baby Tile is real, and that the showmance is a real showmance."
Yes, he did.
I've said the same thing :)
Isn't Sheridan Irish? If he's a non-American, than it might be a good idea for Jake to give him imput on how an American might respond in a particular situation.
Maybe Jake is just taking his job seriously? Lots of actors give their input on how a character should be handled.
"And why did Ted answer this privatedly instead of putting this in his column."
No idea, but I'm certain PG wouldn't make that up.
"Lots of actors give their input on how a character should be handled."
Just lots of actors? Shouldn't all actors do that?
I am sure PG didn't make it up either. That why its so odd. Why the private response? And the very fact that we have different interpretations of the meaning of his response is why I think there is such a problem with how she phrased her questions. It left the door open for him to give a response that could be interpreted in different ways.
Ted loves to play with words :)
The director is the director; an actor can give input, but that doesn't mean the director will agree, or accept it, and might even dismiss it. It's the director's vision, the actor interprets the vision. I think if you are unsure or if a particular character's behavior is totally alien to you, observe or do research on how they do behave. For instance, in Brothers, the character is an ex-convict? I don't think things are always resolved by rational discussion and group hugs. I don't know that there is one example of how an American would behave, everyone is different. I do agree that there's a artificiality and a fear of negative emotions such as anger and aggession in American society; but yet under the surface these things do happen a lot. So there's a sense of the emotions having been sanitized, and it appears false.
That should read "I don't think conflict is resolved by . . ." etc.
WICKED WHISPERS: Which macho A-list actor was annoyed to find pressat a recent gala because he hadn't "put on [his] makeup yet"? [Gatecrasher]

Sheridan intentionally made his characters Irish-American. More familiar to him than "American" family culture as in
Age Lee's The Ice Storm - and more adaptable to his own translation of the heart of the Danish film, it seems to me.
The interview was very interesting. Thanks to whomever posted the link that worked.
"The director is the director; an actor can give input, but that doesn't mean the director will agree, or accept it, and might even dismiss it."
Yes, of course. We don't know what Sheridan did, right?
Ordinary People which I watched recently is about sanitized anglo suburban family. Jewish psychiatrist saves the day. (grin)
We don't know what Sheridan did, and I'm looking forward to seeing! :)
It was a total nonshocker at The Proposal premiere at the El Capitan Theatre that (a) star Ryan Reynolds was looking as mouthwatering as ever and (b) that his missus would be nowhere around.
...
Can these two newlyweds finally start acting like they actually know one another? It's one thing to be private, it's another to completely act like a huge part of your life doesn't even exist!
If even Adam Lambert's not afraid to be seen out in public holding hands with his significant other, neither should you two!
They tried to warn me about power bottoms, but I wouldn't listen!
"We don't know what Sheridan did"
He kicked my butt. Three times.
Happy Birthday, Anderson!
"Jim Sheridan said...
They tried to warn me about power bottoms, but I wouldn't listen!"

As expected, New Hampshire's Senate passed the revamped same-sex marriage bill moments ago with a 14-10 vote along party lines. Now it's the House's turn, where things aren't so certain.
What might Adam Lambert's "Rolling Stone" cover look like?
Ang did it slantwise: very clever, these Taiwanese.
This is racist and offensive.
"Ang did it slantwise: very clever, these Taiwanese.
This is racist and offensive."
I didnt mean "slantwise" to refer to Asian facial characteristics, I was thinking of Emily Dickenson's approach to poetry, her words.
Apologies if the second phrase is offensive. I didnt think it out of the ballpark. I don't think an American director could have pulled off BBMt. Only Ang Lee could have done this film rightly.
Shit.The PC police...
I didn't find that comment offensive,at all. And to tell the truth only chinese patience can endure spoiled,smartass,snob brat like Jake Gyllenhall.
What?
I'm Buddhist, cool as a cucumber!
You spelled Gyllenhaal wrong, you racist, freeper, self-loathing, log cabin slob.
