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."

ReplyDelete"Adam Lambert in WeHo getting his nails done"
ReplyDelete*jealous*
On speculation that he and Adam Lambert painted their nails as a campaign to get a Kradam finale. (i.e. at the exclusion of Danny Gokey)
ReplyDeleteKris Allen: That's not what we were saying. This is what we were saying: There was this tabloid thing that came out about me and Adam, about how we don't get along because I'm this conservative kid from Arkansas and he's this L.A. liberal guy. Which, I could be nothing less than conservative. I'm just from Arkansas. And they were like, "He's cranky because he misses his wife and Adam's nail polish is all over the place and they can't get along." And we were like, "That's so stupid. That's the stupidest thing." We just didn't want people to think that we didn't get along. Because we're really great, great friends.
"Adam Sandwich - White meat with brown bread and alot of mayo"
ReplyDeleteOh boy, I'm so hungry!
Nice post - can't be said enough. Friends and allies. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post. In its own way Kris' friendship with Adam is just as revolutionary as Adam himself.
ReplyDeleteYes, very true, and beautiful photos! :)

*Oops!*
ReplyDeleteYou just KNOW Jake would love to hook up with Adam so they could gossip like a couple of school girls and sing together and trade outfits.

I agree with Destiny - both Adam and Kris are role models. Kris actually comes accross as one of those rare Christians who actually follows Jesus' example. You rock, Kris!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link 1:33. Part 1 is great too - Adam is asked about how he felt when the season turned into a "referendum on social issues", Bill O'reilly's segment on the pictures of him on the net kissing guys and how they censored the pics. Pretty interesting interview.
ReplyDeleteI would gladly discuss Donnie Darko with Adam, I love intellectually stimulating conversations.
ReplyDeleteJake, we know you would take everything stimulating from Adam :)
ReplyDeleteEntertainment Weekly comment:
ReplyDeleteI'm a Christian conservative. I have a lot of Christian conservative friends. And guess what? We love Adam. (And Kris, too!) We're going to buy Adam CDs and Adam concert tickets. We voted for him. Please do not stereotype us. When you do, you are guilty of the exact thing you say you hate--judging without knowing a person.
True Christians love people no matter what, because that's what Jesus did. BUT Jesus was not content to leave people in a state that he considered to be a sin, and Christians aren't supposed to do that, either. Yet we're also supposed to recognize that we are ALL sinners, Christians included! There are a lot of sins like righteousness and selfishness and boastfulness that Christians AND non-Christians commit all the time, and Jesus hated those sins more than prostitution and drunkenness. So let's all remember that no one is perfect, no one's sins are any better or worse than anyone else's, and Adam is one talented dude. (And of course Kris is too!)
Repost (I hope the original poster doesn't mind me reposting):
ReplyDelete"An astute columnist's take on Reese:"
"And Reese Witherspoon with her self-involved, petulant sound in her voice that indicates a privileged life of a daughter of the South.
No matter what role she plays, no matter how hard she works to portray a different kind of girl (for she is eternally a girl), this personality, or character, is deeply imprinted in her psychic DNA, it is who she is - a girl who expects with supreme confidence that she deserves the best in every situation, and never has to speculate on that privilege, because she is not fully aware of it."
http://www.wvpubcast.org/newsarticle.aspx?id=9814
In a nutshell - Reese sucks big time.
ReplyDeleteReese is by Jake's side 0,1 % of the time, photo ops and promotion trips don't take much time..
ReplyDeleteYou talk as if you know what's going on with Jake and Reese. Fact is that non of us knows for sure, not even Ted.
Reeke - I do agree about the self promo and arranged ops, but even real couples in Hollywood do that. There are many, many famewhores there.
"In a nutshell - Reese sucks big time."
ReplyDeleteShe does and Jake too for having to do with her.
2:26 PM
ReplyDeleteThink what you want, claim that no one knows anything for sure, but I'm sure Reeke is 100% fake.
Adam and Kris - big hug
ReplyDeleteJim Sheridan's 'Brothers' Finally Set For A December 4, Oscar-Bait Season Release
ReplyDeleteJim Sheridan's long-completed, practically dormant (if you weren't privy to the backstory) drama, "Brothers," starring Tobey MaGuire, Jake Gyllenhaal and Natalie Portman will finally see a release date during Oscar-bait season on December 4. Previously scheduled for an August release, this probably indicates some strong level of confidence on the studio's part which is Relativity Media/Lionsgate.
David Benioff, a solid scribe known for penning "The 25th Hour" and "The Kite Runner," but perhaps having lost cred for writing "X-Men Origins: Wolverine," also wrote this one.
A source tells us the film received stellar scores at screen tests last summer and was scheduled for release Christmas 2008, but the window was missed, presumably because of editing tinkering (test scores were largely positive, but one character wasn't like as much as producers hoped), money (the Relativity deal), and the fact the picture has Iraq-war connections, which has proven to be box-office poison, so clearly they've been trying to calibrate the correct pitch. Essentially, there's been a lot of careful planning rather than rushing the release just because it was shot and ostensibly completed.
A remake of the 2004 Danish film "Brødre" from director Susanna Bier ("Things We Lost In The Fire") the film centers on the story of a younger "blacksheep" brother (Gyllenhaal) stepping in to take care of the family (Portman and their son) of his older "good" brother (Maguire) after the latter disappears during an enemy skirmish in Afghanistan. So it's like a love triangle with a Cain & Abel vibe and post-war acclimation trouble leanings. In the heart of Oscar season? It sounds like a risky gamble, but Sheridan does have a strong Oscar track record ("In America," "In The Name Of The Father," "My Left Foot," etc.)
Here's the "official" synopsis:
"On his way to report for a peacekeeping mission in Afghanistan, Danish Army officer Michael (Maguire) stops to pick up his brother Jannik (Gyllenhaal), who is getting out of jail that day. In Afghanistan, Michael's helicopter crashes and he is presumed dead. Jannik and Michael's wife Sarah (Portman) discover that they don't hate each other as much as they had thought, and Jannik decides to reform and make himself useful around Sarah's house. Then Michael comes home with a full-blown case of post traumatic stress disorder because of what he had to do to survive in captivity. Write your own ending and draw your own moral conclusions, if any."
Irish stadium anthem rockers U2 have contributed original songs to the film, some of which have already been released due to the film's "delays." [Box Office Mojo]
The Playlist
^^The original movie got stellar reviews. If Sheridan and the actors did a solid job, the movie should do well.
ReplyDelete"Film received stellar scores at screen tests" and "test scores were largely positive".
ReplyDeleteWhich one was it?
"... presumably because of editing tinkering (test scores were largely positive, but one character wasn't like as much as producers hoped)"
ReplyDeleteJake's, Natalie's or Tobey's character?
I think Tobey's. Weren't there reports that people didn't like his character at first, only at the end of the movie?
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone else wonder how good a job Michelle and Jake did in the movies they shot after Heath died? Michelle did Shutter Island and Jake had to finish Brothers and did Nailed. You think they could concentrate?
ReplyDelete3:10 PM
ReplyDeleteI don't remember reading that. And if I remember correctly, there are just 2 or 3 short reviews (screen tests).
Having seen the Danish film, I think Tobey has a difficult role to play. He has to carry it off for the film to work.
ReplyDeleteSheridan's good, though, and I hope this film can restore Jake's credibility that's been in the garbage.
Adam Lambert reminds me of both JBG and Harrison Ford.
Jake's credibility that's been in the garbage. .
ReplyDeleteIt's his own fault.

Yeah Jake was so shook up he ran right out and did a photo op with Reese and rumors were they were laughing at Heath's Memorial. If they really went.
^^Famewhoring with Reese Witherspoon won't make people respect you.
ReplyDelete"Yeah Jake was so shook up he ran right out and did a photo op with Reese and rumors were they were laughing at Heath's Memorial. If they really went."
ReplyDeleteDo you really think the hiking pics were arranged? As for the memorial, it's not so unusual to laugh at memorials. Maybe to release tension?
While I don't agree with Jake's "tabloid romance" (how Jake's dad called it) with Reese, I refuse to believe that Jake turned into a cold blooded bastard (which I think his lady love is ;) ). His weird reaction or lack thereof must have reason, a good reason (at least in Jake's opinion).
ReplyDeleteI think Jake liked him very, very much. You can't just turn off your feelings for someone (I think)./
just a reminder
You think they could concentrate?It'll be interesting to see - it was said in an interview(s) that Abbie Cornish channelled her grief into her role.
ReplyDeleteI think the account of the laughing at the memorial, if it's true, just wasn't written completely - it could have been a release of tension, the recalling of a good memory, anything.
Hiking pictures were arranged, that was more than obvious.
ReplyDelete"Memorial" Reeke story was made up, I really can't imagine who could believe such bullshit.
"I don't remember reading that."
ReplyDeleteBut I remember reading it, in one of Nat Portman's sites. Don't remember the address to the site anymore.
"I really can't imagine who could believe such bullshit"
ReplyDeleteITA.
Reeke couldn't fake having a good time together at the Vanity Fair party.
"It'll be interesting to see - it was said in an interview(s) that Abbie Cornish channelled her grief into her role."
ReplyDeleteGrief about Heath? I know that they worked together and got along great. According to Ted she gushed about Heath during a recent party she attended with Crab Face (I like this name Lamey gave Ryan).
"Does anyone else wonder how good a job Michelle and Jake did in the movies they shot after Heath died?"
ReplyDeleteMichelle got great reviews for "Wendy and Lucy". Work can help you through the grieving process, can help you forget for a while.
3:43 PM
ReplyDeleteLainey is an enemy.
Sometimes, I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion!
Yes, her grief about Heath. :(
ReplyDelete"Michelle got great reviews for "Wendy and Lucy"."
ReplyDeleteShe did the movie after she and Heath broke up in summer 2007(the break up was made public in September). She said her personal situation helped her to deliver a better performance.
Crab Face (I like this name Lamey gave Ryan).@
ReplyDelete@
She calls him CARB face. Appropriate.
"Yes, her grief about Heath. :("
ReplyDelete3:51 PM, I suppose you answered my question about Abbie. It's likely they not just got along fine but also became friends. Heath is Aries and Abbie is Leo. They are compatible.
"She calls him CARB face. Appropriate."
ReplyDeleteOh right. I forgot. ;)

ReplyDeleteWho gives a shit about the chin and her kids?
ReplyDelete4:23 PM # 2, what do you mean with "who gives a shit about chin". Obviously we all do. We discuss her almost 24/7 here.
ReplyDeleteNo, we are discussing reeking.
ReplyDelete"(test scores were largely positive, but one character wasn't like as much as producers hoped)"
ReplyDelete^^ I'm wondering if there's a typo in that sentence and it's really supposed to be:
"(test scores were largely positive, but one character wasn't liked as much as producers hoped)"
That it received good test screen scores but that the producers had it tweaked because a character wasn't liked by the audience makes more sense than how it originally reads. Agree?
Yes.
ReplyDeleteThey said "presumably because of editing tinkering".
"Hi 3:55, sorry I wasn't clear."
ReplyDeleteNo problem. I got it anyway. :)
"Agree?"
ReplyDeleteAgree. And it was Tobey's character.
Why do you think it was Tobey's character?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
ReplyDeleteWell, it was certainly not my character! Everyone loves me and my characters!
ReplyDeleteAdam looks so much better with dark hair than his natural blond (which is pretty unusual, to look better dark). I wonder how he deals with blond roots though, he must be touching up every day!
ReplyDeleteI'm not whoever it was who said about the problem was with Tobey's character. But yes I remember reading somewhere that the test audiences didn't care for him at the beginning (maybe because he's pro-war?) but liked him more at the end.
ReplyDelete"Why do you think it was Tobey's character?"
ReplyDeleteJudging by the reviews I read from people who saw it, I think his character was supposed to be more likable than it was. Although I also read he did the best job out of the three.
Snotty I bet..
ReplyDelete;)
I wonder how he deals with blond roots though, he must be touching up every day! /
ReplyDeleteLOL, you are right, that must be the pain in the ass.

ReplyDeleteAdam Lambert Is Hurting Gay America
ReplyDeleteYou know what, Adam Lambert? Just can it with the coy shit. Everyone knows the American Idol second-placer is a big ol' homo from Fruitington Corners, but in every goddamn interview the lurching behemoth always says things like "keep speculating..." And I wish he'd just man up and step out.
Not that people should be forced to come out of the closet, but fool keeps calling himself a role model, and then won't acknowledge the fact that he's the gayest thing since Jody Watley got lost in the Tenderloin that one time.
...
link
Wow I didn't realize Adam was a blond! He looks dramatic with the dark hair, his eyes.
ReplyDelete"a self-centered image-obsessed mother who believes in bullying and sells them out for photo ops."
ReplyDeleteAnd she only gives them each one Christmas present.
"and sells them out for photo ops."
ReplyDeleteI think she looks quite pissed when they take pics of the kids. I'm not so sure she arranges ops when her kids are involved. Jake also seems angry when they take pics of her kids when he's with them.
That's babbler's bullshit.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I don't like Ryan, but I'm pretty sure he'd beat Jake's ass if he used his kids for arranged ops. No doubt about that in my mind.
ReplyDelete4:59, of course Reese arranges photo ops with her kids. Do you really think I hang around pig farms waiting for a celeb to show up? And Ojai sidewalks waiting for Jake to stroll by with Deacon?
ReplyDeleteJake is using beard's kids for arranged ops. Reese is using her kids for arranges ops (London museum, pig farm, Paris).
ReplyDeleteRyan can't do anything about it, kids are paped with him, too.
"And Ojai sidewalks waiting for Jake to stroll by with Deacon?"
ReplyDeleteThat was LA photo op.
5:03 PM, I'm not claiming I know for sure. I just have my doubts she'd use her kids like that. I know she arranges ops, but I'm not sure she involves her kids. IDK.
ReplyDelete"Ryan can't do anything about it, kids are paped with him, too."
ReplyDeleteYes, but he doesn't arrange it. If he knows Reeke is a sham, he knows that the pics of Jake with his son are arranged and I doubt he'll like that. No way.
Tobey has to indicate a sympathetic straight arrow military type - difficult with our prejudices against the military - then gain our sympathies as a traumetized emotional robot -
ReplyDelete. . . and we have to believe his wife loves him enuff to stick by him, resist her attraction toward the lively brother, etcetc -
the "love story" MUST be between Tobey and Natalie or the film loses its point.
5:09 PM
ReplyDeleteI'm sure Ryan did a lot of photo ops when he was with Reese.
I'm absolutely sure Ryan knows that Jake is gay and Reeke is fake. He also knows that Jake is a good guy, so I think Ryan doesn't mind photo ops with kids (too much).
"so I think Ryan doesn't mind photo ops with kids (too much)."
ReplyDeleteSorry, but I don't buy the "Ryan is a good guy who approves of ops with his kids" story. I don't think Jake was ever that close of a friend for him anyway.
Funny how the Ojai Jake-Deacon pics were when Ryan was in Cannes, and there were some others in the past that were taken when he was also at important functions. I'm convinced the Reeke+kids photo ops are timed to coincide with Ryan's schedule when he's at his most busiest and most vulnerable so that Reese can push his buttons. Those poor kids. That's what happens with narcissists, they use everybody even their own children to feed their ego and they don't see it as doing anything wrong.
ReplyDelete"I'm sure Ryan did a lot of photo ops when he was with Reese."
ReplyDeleteShe did arrange photo ops every now and then when she was with Ryan too, but I read he HATED it.
Ryan did photo ops with Reese and the kids.
ReplyDeleteHis kids get paped with Reese, his kids get paped with him, his kids sometimes get paped with Jake - the fact that Reeke photo ops are arranged doesn't change much.

"the fact that Reeke photo ops are arranged doesn't change much."
ReplyDeleteNo doubt that Reeke ops are irrelevant. But there is a difference exposing your innocent kids to paparazzi on purpose. When you look at pics, Ryan seems so very protective of his kids and soothing them when papz scare them. In my opinion he'd rip Jake a new hole if he used his kids for this.
Ryan used to expose his innocent kids to paparazzi on purpose. He agreed to play "happy family" with Reese for good PR.
ReplyDeleteDaddy Ryan and Deacon
ReplyDelete"He agreed to play "happy family" with Reese for good PR."
ReplyDeleteMaybe he played happy family because he wanted to try it for the kids? But Reese's bitchyness and his philandering finally put an end relationship.
^^to the relationship.
ReplyDelete"Maybe he played happy family because he wanted to try it for the kids?"
ReplyDeleteNo, you don't need paparazzi for that.
Austin in Italy: " My buddy makes us return because he fell in love with one of the Sirens."
ReplyDeleteBuddy?
"No, you don't need paparazzi for that."
ReplyDeleteIt was Reese who arranged the ops. He reportedly didn't like them at all.
"Buddy?"
ReplyDeleteJust a straight buddy, no big deal.

ReplyDeleteJared pics say Reese was at Little League game this morning but her Twitter (if its her) said this yesterday (Friday) at about 5:00 pm:
ReplyDelete"I have the worst headache in the world. But! My son's little league game is in another hour so this tylenol better start working fast!"
about 23 hours ago from web
So, it JJ date wrong and the Twitter is most likely really hers, or is JJ date correct and the Twitter is an impostor? Can anyone tell by the light and shadows in the JJ pics if it was after 5 pm or in the morning?
I'm asking because it seems strange that kids would play 2 Little League games so close together, one Friday night and then the next Saturday morning. Or maybe they do, IDK. The JJ pics or RW twitter, someone's lying.
ReplyDeleteX17 has more pics of Reese and Deacon at Little League, with Reese "helping coach" on the field and posing and smiling. *roll eyes* If that wasn't a photo op then the Pope isn't Catholic. I sure hope she makes enough money to pay for the kids' therapy.
ReplyDeleteI thik Twitter person saw pictures earlier, on some other site.
ReplyDelete7:08 PM, ther's no way to tell if she arranged that. Smiling indicates nothing though. Many celebs smile even though they don't call them. It depends on what you're doing.
ReplyDeleteNo, 7:08. I saw the twitter entry about going to the softball game yesterday Friday around 6 minutes after it was made. The pics came out later today.
ReplyDeleteFor instance, we see Michelle and Matilda regularly playing with each other and smiling/laughing. But I don't think Michelle ever called them. They are simply stalking the poor kid because of who her father is.
ReplyDelete"The JJ pics or RW twitter, someone's lying."
ReplyDeleteDon't tell me you're only just questioning whether HW pr isn't totally truthful all the time.
Surely no-one can be that naive.
PR might have made RW get a twitter account so she seems friendlier and more with it (hip!) instead of boring bitchy uptight snob soccer mom.
ReplyDelete7:15 PM
ReplyDeleteSo what? The pictures are probably posted on some other site on Friday. (We get to see Jake's X17 pictures before they are posted on JJ or X17)
"PR might have made RW get a twitter account so she seems friendlier and more with it (hip!) instead of boring bitchy uptight snob soccer mom."
ReplyDeleteCould very well be the case.
"Surely no-one can be that naive."
ReplyDeleteNo I'm not naive. You OTOH are obviously quite thick-headed since you didn't read my comment correctly: I'm not wondering IF someone lied, I'm asking WHICH ONE lied. Big difference.
X17 has 92 pictures! LOL, Reese is such a joke.
ReplyDelete"So what? The pictures are probably posted on some other site on Friday."
ReplyDeleteSo what? Then it means the RW twitter account is most likely authentic. That's what.
That twitter account is a role player. The live journal role players have made their way over to twitter. They even have the same fake celebrity friendships. Unless you really believe Jordan Sparks, Taylor Swift and Reese are buddies.
ReplyDeleteC'mon folks you're supposed to be skeptics!! Fake twitter is just about the lamest thing in the world to fall for.
"7:08 PM, ther's no way to tell if she arranged that."
ReplyDelete92 pictures with Reese posing on the field and all smiley? Fuck yeah it was arranged.
Hooray for Austin! Hope we get pics. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope I get sex!
ReplyDeleteWho's J.G. Francis?
ReplyDeleteShe "coached". Who the hell said "I would love to see her hug her kids once in a while or do something for them like a normal mother?"
ReplyDeleteBecause whoever you are Nanci heard you. Keep in mind she is about to leave them for three months to go shoot a movie.
"Who's J.G. Francis?"
ReplyDeleteNever heard of her! *fingers crossed*
"Never heard of her! *fingers crossed*"
ReplyDeleteLMAO!
Kelly McGillis was relaxing in the Florida sunshine and preparing to go on a cruise last February when a simple question caught her off guard: As a single woman, was she looking to date a man or a woman?
ReplyDelete"It was like a moment of truth," says the actress, 52, who became a star after appearing with Tom Cruise in Top Gun in 1986. "[A reporter] asked me the question and I thought, Hmm, do I say the truth, or do I just say, It's none of your business, which is my standard answer?"
"I said you know, I'm just going to say the truth," McGillis told PEOPLE at rehearsals for her new play The Little Foxes, which opens May 29 at the Pasadena Playhouse in Pasadena, Calif.
McGillis's "truth" was a long time coming, and the answer was simple: "Definitely a woman." The woman who made many a male’s heart flutter as the sultry flight instructor in Top Gun has been married twice and has two children. But she says she's actually been a lesbian most of her life. "I tried really hard not to be who I am. I tried super hard," she says. "It was a difficult journey for me to come to terms and be whole and happy with who I am."
Still McGillis, who stars as Regina Giddens in the play alongside Julia Duffy and Marc Singer, says she was surprised people made a big deal about her revelation. "I got on a cruise ... I thought the whole thing had just disappeared [after the interview], and then I got a phone call: 'Oh my God, Kelly, you can't believe it, it's everywhere.' "
The Little Foxes is McGillis's return to acting after spending eight years as virtually a full-time mom to her two children, and she says it's been a challenge. "The idea of being judged just totally freaks me out," says McGillis. "Even though I try really hard not to care what people think about me – and that really is my little adage, what you think about me is none of my business – it does matter, and it is hard."
One thing she's not working on right now: romance. "I am single, and I'm really happy to be so. I was with somebody for eight years, and I just want to be single ... I have such cool friends, and such a cool life," says McGillis. "I don't know what God's plan is for me at all, I just know I'm so happy to be here and happy to be working."

ReplyDeleteUm wrong blog 9:53.
ReplyDeleteYeah speaking of reality 9:53 you need to go out and get yourself some.
ReplyDeleteIt was just speculation on my part like most here do.
ReplyDeleteThese boys are so straight it hurts.
ReplyDeleteI am surprised they don't have kids by now.
ReplyDeleteThose boys must be broke from all the child support and paternity suits they get hit with every couple months.
ReplyDelete"It was just speculation on my part like most here do."
ReplyDeleteSpeculation that Jake fell for Reese and is fucking her?!!
Those boys must be broke from all the child support and paternity suits they get hit with every couple months.
ReplyDeleteHeterosexual men must thank god everyday in their prayer for condom and the pill.
And head, we thank god everyday for head!
ReplyDeleteSo do we!
ReplyDeleteI am surprised that people aren't more interested in Austin's trip. Do you think he may have been at the wedding and just decided to stay for awhile. Kind of throw people off the scent in case pictures surface from around the time of the wedding.
ReplyDeleteI know people make a fuss about these necklaces around Jake and Austin's necks, but I can never see a clear enough picture of them to see exactly what they look like to tell if they are the same. Has anyone got a copy of a clear, closeup picture of the necklaces for comparison?
Also, why do I have a feeling that if Jake and Austin are still in a "committed" relationship it may be one-sided. This Francis episode and the confidentialy agreements are leading me to think that Jake is constantly cheating. I know a lot of people have open relationships but I know that I have never heard anything about Austin or Grey Goose stepping out on Jake. I just read the rumors about Jake.
(bump)
ReplyDeleteIf the Francis thing is true (and I suspect it is) then no wonder Reese tags along with Jake as much as she can and holds his hand like a little kid's wherever they go. Along with his bearding and her self-promotion, she's helping him help save himself. The Francis story showed that, when he's alone, Jake doesn't seem to have any problem making a connection.
Without Reese by his side 80% of the time, god only knows how many more long lingering looks, phone numbers and hookups he would be doing, plus since TT/Jake likes sex in public, how much official legal trouble and gossip it could land him into if he was caught. I bet this Francis fracas probably already caused a few problems, who knows if he got paid off to delete the post and keep quiet.
I'm thinking maybe the Chin has a little deal on the side with Disney's Katzenberg, to keep Jakey's sexual predilections and indiscretions from making the 6 o'clock news, at least until POP. Maybe that's why the bearding with Reeke seemingly spending 24 hours a day together is way over the top, because Reese IS spending as much time as she can with Jake because she's his gay hookup prevention watchdog. For Jake's sake but to protect herself, most of all. Everyone talks about how in the fauxmance/bearding that Jake could never dump Reese and make her look bad, and that she won't dump Jake because she wants an easy PR boyfriend. But the one thing that would blow the showmance and their reputations all to hell would be if Jake was caught and publicly outed. Reese isn't going to allow that to happen to her investment.
Maybe Austin is just more discrete and/or a better judge of people when it comes to hookups. Or maybe people have it out for Jake because of the bearding, or because he's far better known more inclined to talk.
ReplyDeleteSound from the blog that Austin behaved himself in Italy. Too bad, there are a lot of hot men there. I was kind of hoping he'd dumped Jake's ass, but the necklaces make me think they're still together.
Posted in the comments on TMZ post on Adam doing his nails:
ReplyDelete"I would rather not answer until it comes out," Leila Lambert said in a phone interview with E! News regarding Adam's reported upcoming announcement to Rolling Stone that he is indeed gay. But that's not the real shocker. Check out what she has to say about the behind-the-scenes antics of the Idol camp... Leila says she also signed a contract with American Idol and is not allowed to discuss her son's personal life anyway without THEIR PERMISSION. "We signed a contract with Idol and unless it has been set up by them, I'm not allowed to answer," says Leila.
"This Francis episode and the confidentialy agreements are leading me to think that Jake is constantly cheating."
ReplyDeleteThe Signed BV Ted had was about TT getting a handjob (which to me was surprising because they seem pretty low on the sexual act totem pole but maybe that's just my rating). Maybe Jake feels too bound by monogamy, not that its his conscious decision, its just that he "needs" to be free for his creative side to be able to express itself. I don't know if I explained that well but you know how artists are, lol. It could be that Austin is comfortable with being monogamous, so without restraining Jake too much, and without Jake getting too promiscuous, they have a compromise that Jake can have his onetime flings, but that the action is limited to handjobs. Just speculation on my part but it would make sense if one partner (or hell both) wants to stray, to say "ok" but here's the boundary.
I don't know. Seems too much trouble to go to just to get a handjob. Ted has inplied that Jake is a very passionate person. I just don't see him be satisfied with a simple handjob; he could do that himself.
ReplyDeletekeep hearing about these matching necklaces. is this for real or just some projected fanfic.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see a clear close up picture of these things too.
Hand jobs=safe sex, no stds to bring back to your partner.
ReplyDelete@11.55 - projected fanfic for sure. Nobody knows what hangs at the end of either of those necklaces, but it's fun and romantic for Jaustinites to believe whatever it is it's all matchy-matchy. *gag*
ReplyDelete"I just don't see him be satisfied with a simple handjob; he could do that himself."
ReplyDeleteLOL you must be female. With 99% of guys no matter what's done the turn on is: its someone different.
Does that full intercourse as well as hand jobs?
ReplyDeleteI think the necklaces are projected fanfic as well, but I guess people need to create stuff to hang onto.
ReplyDeleteWhen do you think we'll see another set of bike pics?
"Speculation that Jake fell for Reese and is fucking her?!!"
ReplyDeleteWhy some people don't believe Francis ????
I know his credibility is as valide as Ian or Ted but come on.....
Francis is not a professional gossiper.
ReplyDelete"Austin falls for so many women I have lost count. He must be sluttier than his other (not better) half."
ReplyDeletePosted on OMG by Lady Overkiller
I wonder if all the mentions of women and falling in love etc. is intentional overkill, either meant to be a sarcastic retort to a demand, or an inside joke where not only the names have been changed but the genders as well.
Austin Nichols at Global Green USA's 13th Annual Millennium Awards
ReplyDeleteCostars Brad Pitt and Edward Norton and director David Fincher are honored with the Discretionary Guy Movie Hall of Fame award for 1999’s Fight Club at Spike TV’s 2009 “Guys Choice” Awards held at LA’s Sony Studios on Saturday (May 30).
ReplyDeleteThe Office star Rainn Wilson jokingly tweeted at the show, “Saw Brad Pitt. I would totally do him.”
JJ
"Do you think he may have been at the wedding and just decided to stay for awhile."
ReplyDeleteMaybe Austin did both - was at the wedding and took a trip with a friend.
Who knows if Austin was at the wedding... Will just have to wait for Maggie's tell-all book in 20 years! lol But now that Austin is back in town, I wonder the boys will get together before Austin has to leave again to film OTH in July.
ReplyDelete"I think the necklaces are projected fanfic as well, but I guess people need to create stuff to hang onto."
ReplyDeleteWe have seen Jake and Austin wearing two similar necklaces, right?
We didn't create that.
8:12, can you post the pics?
ReplyDeleteHo hum, another day in tiresome closet land for Jake and Co.
ReplyDeleteHow DO they cope.

Some do know. Some are easy to see and some are hard to find. But the rings are very much there. Seek and you shall find.
"I think the necklaces are projected fanfic as well, but I guess people need to create stuff to hang onto."Yeah, because it's two men right?
ReplyDeleteUnlike all the fanfic created around Jake/Reese's perceived jewelry swaps and vintage necklaces. No proof they've exchanged anything but it's acceptable to say/speculate they have across fanboards.
Hypocrite.
Austin has never looked better lately - he looks gorgeous in those Global Green Awards pics. :)
ReplyDelete"Unlike all the fanfic created around Jake/Reese's perceived jewelry swaps and vintage necklaces."
ReplyDeleteDon't forget the what, is it four now, proposals..with a new different and bigger ring every time. Not to mention the endless tales of how a secret wedding is taking place here/there and then the next following breaking story is how Jake is going to propose.. LOL someone needs to take Continuity 101. Proposal first, then the wedding.
"8:12, can you post the pics?"
ReplyDeleteOne big picture :)
Austin, Jake and necklaces
RDJ wears a similar black string around his neck and i think a pendent is at the other end. Jake wears a black string and a gold chain and the imprint looked too od to be a ring, more likely a pendant. He also doesn't wear them all the time, if they actually meant anything he would wear them all the time.
ReplyDeleteYou are just as bad as the babblers, wost you chery pick your "observations". How could you miss the Jake/RDJ hats and the black necklace pendant, even the girls on ONTD picked up on that.
Really Austin I have no idea who this J.G. Francis is. She's probably some weirdo stalker from that delusional Babble site. So c'mon over here and give your owlbird some sugar, he misses you.
ReplyDelete"How could you miss the Jake/RDJ hats and the black necklace pendant, even the girls on ONTD picked up on that."
ReplyDeleteDid RDJ had 2 necklaces like Austin?
"Austin, Jake and necklaces"
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pics.
"black necklace pendant"
ReplyDeleteIt's probably en vogue right now.
8:51 we all noticed the pendants on Jake and RDJ, although what RDJ has to do with it and the hats, whatever. The point YOU are missing is that Austin is wearing the dark necklace in the Italy pics (along with his regular gold one that has had the gold wedding ring on it) and this is the first time we have seen him wear the black one, a black one like Jake's.
ReplyDeleteBut keep talking 8:51, your lack of observation and your quickness to accuse others of what yourself is so guilty of, is terribly amusing!
"It's probably en vogue right now."
ReplyDeleteYes maybe but I can honestly say I don't know any straight guys wearing necklaces these days!
"How could you miss the Jake/RDJ hats and the black necklace pendant, even the girls on ONTD picked up on that."
ReplyDeleteMiss what?
RDJ black necklace and hat aren't very similar to Jake's.
RDJ
So c'mon over here and give your owlbird some sugar, he misses you.
ReplyDeleteOwlbird? what the heck is that an euphemism for?
RDJ, can't tell if he is wearing 2:

Men wearing necklaces!!! Austin's blog entry really must of pissed you off!!
ReplyDeleteRDJ and Jake's hat's and necklaces and hats are not the same but are siilar and it's clear that they are wearing the same style because that's the style guys are wearing now. Similar but not the same hasn't stopped the jaustin loons!
PS: Jake doesn't seem to wear them all the time based on the pap pics.
Jake * RDJ = secret gay lovers.
ReplyDelete9:05 AM RDJ picture - RDJ is wearing one necklace and it's different from Jake's.
ReplyDelete"Jake doesn't seem to wear them all the time based on the pap pics."
ReplyDeleteSo? What's your point?
"Owlbird? what the heck is that an euphemism for?"
ReplyDeleteGreat Horned Cock?! The owl and birded shirts Jake wears alot. He wanted to be a bird when he was little.
My point is that if the stupid chain/necklace actually means something then he would wear it all the time.
ReplyDeleteNo one seems to know why Jake is wearing those dumb hats, similar to RDJ since December. He seems to hang withhim a lot and maybe just picked up the style.
The black leater necklace, Rdj's appears tobe thicker than Jake's and pendant looks like a Buddhist pendant, I saw a picture of RDJ's pendant when it popped out of his shirt on some pap pics, RDJ is a practicing Buddhist, have no idea about Jake's tacky necklace SK.
"Men wearing necklaces!!! Austin's blog entry really must of pissed you off!!"
ReplyDelete"Similar but not the same hasn't stopped the jaustin loons!"
9:13, your 2 statements above are in conflict with each other. Pick a side if you must or remain neutral. Don't try to pick fights with EVERYONE. You aren't very good at it and frankly we can see right thru you. Why don't you spend your time and your ire somewhere else.
"My point is that if the stupid chain/necklace actually means something then he would wear it all the time."
ReplyDeleteSo you are supposed to wear ALL jewellery that mean something to you ALL the time? LOL!
