«Oldest ‹Older 1801 – 1880 of 1880I have no idea what are you all talking about... :(
About old, pre-Reeke times in Jake's fandom.
Do you have any questions? :)
Cantara has finally ailed on crazy Papa. Is she still his publisher?
Good news! Now she'll stop using Gyllenhaals to get some press, right? We'll see for how long she'll stay away.
Cantara: What was the last straw for me (rather than, say, the last straw for his ex-wife, the Oscar-nominated screenwriter for Running on Empty)? Well, yesterday it seems that he deleted all the comments on his blog he probably considered to be “negative”—but he left his own replies, which make no sense when standing alone.
Stephen has the right to defend himself:)

You’ve removed the malicious comments on your posts which is good because many visitors have been put off by them. But your replies and replies from some others remain. Maybe you have a reason for this? But new visitors will be confused as to what you’re talking about.
Stephen Gyllenhaal says:
September 4, 2009
You’re right. Thank you. I decided to just let a little chaos exist right now as the website finds it’s balance. If someone visits and is a little confused, it’s not the end of the world, since the attacks were a little confusing too. It turned out it was just one person, pretending to be quite a few people. False advertising – not unusual in this country, or anywhere. Frankly, I welcome constructive criticism. How do we get anywhere without it? But brutal attacks designed to destroy are just the same old thing and the same old thing means nothing evolves. We’re trying to have this website, not to mention ourselves, evolve a bit if we can. If it’s a little messy along the way, so be it…
The chin was wearing shorts a tee and sandals while Jake was wearing jeans and a tee and flip-flops on Sunday. On Tuesday she had on jeans and a tee and on Wednesday he had on shorts and sandals, the only day he wore a buttoned shirt. What are they supposed to wear, bathing suits. They were dressed no differently than anyone else in SOCAl, you make no sense.
That NY tweet is suspect unless we get more, lke the several tweets of him in L.A. It's a possibility that the tweet is mistaken identity, again.
Reese wasn't in L.A. last month, she was in Philly and before that DC. This was the first time she was papped in L.A. in months. Jake is wearing sandals and shorts in the medival building and the shirt isn't eactly buttoned up. He is wearing sandals and a tee shirt and a straw hat in the venice pics, you need to get your eyes checked.
Incognita is a brokie and the attack from the one person pretending to be many was Cantara, LOL!!!
Jake Gyllenhall is filming a movie on the southside!
about 5 hours ago

Girl who tweeted is from Pittsburgh BUT she could be in NYC:
oh nyc how I live you. milk and honey tonight!
Aug 24th
Cantara posted as The Dr. on Papa's blog. She tweeted him on this. It's still on his tweet but I think she deleted from hers when she was busted:
Her name was Mary Jo KOPECHNE, not Kohekohe. Couldn’t you even have paid this dead woman some respect by... http://trim.li/nk/e36 [Comments]
7:29 AM Sep 1st from web
^^^ LOL. The Internet is such fun, isn't it?
Jake Gyllenhall is filming a movie on the southside!
Jake is filming Ugly Betty ?!
There is a southside in Pittsburgh, Pa and one in Brooklyn where he was tweeted last night.If it was PA, then that means that he is filming Love and Drugs, which he isn't yet. If it's in regards to the Brooklyn tweet from last night than maybe there is confusion because he was seen near the Ugly betty set.
Or the Pa tweet was a typo and she meant that Jake WILL be shooting on the Southside.
Tweets are fun and confusing!!! Southside of Brooklyn or PA?, LOL! I doubt that Jake is filming an episode of Ugly Betty, there would be more tweets/sightings. If they are filming the show in brooklyn and he is there than perhaps he was just a curious bystander and people think that he is filming.
Reese wasn't in L.A. last month, she was in Philly and before that DC.
She was in LA in July: DC - LA - Philly.
I remember the pics of them in Ojai in early July.
One picture.
One picture, attending some concert. Reese wanted to show her hot "boyfriend" to as many Ojai neighbors as possible. lol
FYI Lisa who met Jake (with the other guy, on Nailed set as part of a charity lunch) has the opinion that Jake is gay.
Duh!
Both Cantara and Papa are fucking nuts.
"Both Cantara and Papa are fucking nuts"
That's why I love them! ;D
:)
"I think my mother, of course, very innocently was the kiss of death when she said to my then-boyfriend Tom, “You’re prettier than any of the girls.” [Laughs] And in those days, that was maybe the first red flag -- when the guys were prettier than the girls. And frankly, when the guys wanted to be prettier than the girls. I didn’t know exactly what it meant to be gay, I just knew I wanted to be near them."
-- Kathy Griffin discussing the first time she first became aware of The Gays during her Out.com interview.

Our Garden: Mid-spring
Where is Chris?
LOL!!! Nobody ever coments on his blog except for his last post. Four comments all asking where he is dated in early August. Brokies most likely.
No wonder he stoppped posting.
As you can see, his posts are missed.
Chris does not do his blog for "comments" - he does it for professional purposes. also, he responds personally to all comments via personal e-mail.
He has been off-island for the summer.
Chris has not been on MV all summer, he missed the race!!! He is busy teaching elsewhere.
It's about time that someone called WDW on their hypocrisy and duplicity. Exclusive focus on Jake's professional life, my #$s. What a bunch of crock. They are so pro-Reeke it's embarassing. The selective use of photos on WDW is particularly telling. At least the babbler boards make their intentions clear.
Saying that WDW is not pro-Reeke because they focus exclusively on Jake's professional life is kind of like saying that DC is not pro-Reeke because they refuse to entertain any discussion of Jake's sexual orientation. Jake's bearding is a professional arrangement and it's all about making him look as straight as possible!
WDW and DC are bull&*#@ artists through and through. If you're going to whore yourself to the Reeke/Disney/CAA kingdom, then just say so.
AMEN!!! And the defenders still can't come up with a good excuse to why she was the only one to post the Ojai pictures and the Philly pics with there backs turned. There is noneed to post every single picture, GB, IHJ and OMG don't and they are about his personal life, they don't hide it but WDW is supposed to be about his professioanl life, she could have skipped those and a few others.
She may think she is being monitered and thinks she will get some award for being a "good" fan but as IHJ and JW has fond out, Jake and his people could care less.
At the end of the day it's her blog and she can do what she wants but don't say she doesn't have an agenda.
PS: Just because she hangs with Ted, Lisa, Anouska/londontb, monk and a few other TB's from DC doesn't mean shit. She likes to get around, she's "pals" with Stephanie from IHJ after volunteering to scan articles for IHJ after Ally left the Jake fandom and they needed a scanner.
She was everywhere in the beginning, pals with WFT, JW and DC all at the same time until that blew up. More discreet now with WFT2 and OMG, but I suspect it's more to find out what's going on. She lurks on GB as well an sometimes posts anon. like on here.
She's a bit of a spy IMO but I don't know who she would be reporting to.
Jeeze. Just because WDW doesn't make an issue out of Jake's bearding and she posts any new pic of Jake she can ahold of, she has an "agenda", she's "full of b.s.", she's pro-Reeke and she's "reporting" to someone. Grow up 9:47/10:12. Not everything is a conspiracy.
Why is someone attacking WDW on this site. If you have comments about WDW, take them up there. You have no ear here.
"You have no ear here."
Oh really? Then why are there so many posts? Obviously this issue has been simmering below the surface for some time.
We spend all day long trashing pro-Reeke gossip rags and publicists (like Lainey) who selectively use certain photos and selectively pass along certain pieces of info, and yet fan blogs remain unscathed? Why the double standard?
Gossip rags receive money directly from the pr firms, but I'm sure that pro-Reeke blogs receive tips, trinkets and even advanced notice of events from pr-firms in order to get them to spin this farcical bearding arrangement in the most Disney/hetero-friendly light imaginable. These blogs are swimming in a cess-pool of hypocrisy, and they should be outed as pro-Reeke sites.
They deserve no better treatment than Perez or JustJared.
I'm sure that pro-Reeke blogs receive tips, trinkets and even advanced notice of events
You're sure?! Proof please.
they should be outed as pro-Reeke sites.
Oh really? Because of your "I'm sure" ?! Proof first. Then if it's without a doubt then you can "out" them. Go ahead and do the detective work. We'll wait.
Now every fan blog who posts a pic of Reeke is pro-Reeke and getting gifts from Reeke PR. LOL!~
why are there so many posts?
Because we all disagree with you. And the posts that agree, are all written by you. You're the one keeping the topic going because you can't let it go, and people like me are just as guilty in keeping it going LOL because we can't help but question your illogical and asinine posts. Keep posting 12:13, I need the laughs!
I'm available to start and maintain an exciting brainwashing blog about Reese and Jake (or any other client). I understand the standard pay is "tips, trinkets and advanced notice of events" which will be acceptable for the first 6 months of the blog; after that we can renegotiate. Contact me with what images and messages you want me to brainwash the fans with and send me a contract asap. I look forward to doing business with you.
the standard pay is "tips, trinkets and advanced notice of events"
Damn I hope they have good health, dental and vision plans and a 401K to make up for the lousy pay.
the standard pay is "tips, trinkets and advanced notice of events"
Has Reeke PR and their employee blogs been claiming these as taxable income? We'll be checking on this.
Trinkets? I need a new collar. I wonder what gossip would buy me that platinum and yellow diamond studded Tiffany's number I saw online the other day.. ??
New pics of Jake in Hollywood on Just Jared. Seems the NYC and/or PA sightings were false.
A solo Jake Gyllenhaal picks up a few beauty products in Hollywood on Friday afternoon (September 4).
The 28-year-old actor’s new movie Love and Other Drugs will star filming on September 21 in Pittsburgh, Penn. The drama is based on the Jamie Reidy memoir “Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman” about a salesman for male performance-enhancement drugs. Jake will be reuniting with his Brokeback Mountain co-star Anne Hathaway.
Jake Gyllenhaal: Beauty Product Pick-Up
Jake will be reuniting with his Brokeback Mountain co-star
I know many fans were looking forwared to see Jake with Heath in another movie. It ain't gonna happen anymore. :(
Still looking forward to LAOD with Jake and cute and talented Anne Hathaway. :)
February 25, 2004 - According to Production Weekly, Bubble Boy Jake Gyllenhaal "may replace Heath Ledger as the lead in Stephen Hopkins' Nautica." Ledger has been attached to star in the Columbia/Escape Artists thriller since the late Ted Demme was slated to direct. Both Peter Berg (The Rundown) and Tarsem (The Cell) were considered to replace Demme.
Nautica's screenplay was penned by Richard McBrien. The story is set in the Caribbean hideaway of Cruz Bay and pieces together what befell the three occupants of a yacht called the Nautica. One of them has been found floating at sea, murdered. The events of the past unfold in a series of flashbacks (and even flashbacks within flashbacks).
Ironically enough, Gyllenhaal and Ledger are co-starring together in director Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain. That drama begins filming in Calgary this May. Production Weekly adds that Gyllenhaal is also in the running to star in Neil Jordan's Me and My Monster. Stan Winston will provide the creature effects for this "story of a young boy who has a friendship with an extraordinary creature that changes the course of his life as he becomes an adult."

Ha! Two fake tweeters in a row and both sounded believable.
9:18 AM, thanks for posting this article. I remember reading this some years ago.
We spend all day long trashing pro-Reeke gossip rags and publicists (like Lainey) who selectively use certain photos and selectively pass along certain pieces of info, and yet fan blogs remain unscathed? Why the double standard?
Exactly.
I don't think WDW Kate is paid or anything like that, but by posting all Reeke pictures all the time she supports and promotes PR agenda.
Justin Timberlake Will Star In Facebook Movie
The pop star has just signed on to star in The Social Network, a film about the early days of Facebook and based on the book The Accidental Billionaire. Timberlake will play Sean Parker, the entrepreneur who created Napster and became Facebook’s President when they incorporated in 2004.
The film is set to begin shooting next month, with Fight Club director David Fincher in charge.
Many fan blogs receive hints, suggestions, permission to post specific photos and even advance notice of publicity events from public relations firms. Why should pro-Reeke blogs be any different? And you don't think that those insider tidbits are the kind of thing that fan blog owners are going to advertise, do you?
In all but deed, WDW, DC and IHJ are bought and paid for. Deal with it.
I'm only sure that IHJ has a deal with Jake's PR. You can't get paparazzi, Getty Images or WireImage photos without paying and I'm sure girls can't afford to buy them all.
Stephanie works for a photo agency that is owned by either her dad or some other family member. She sees not only Jake pap pics but everyone else including Ben Barnes and Orlando bloom who she has sites for. Ally who started the site back in 2004 when she was 14 is no longer involved in the Jake fasndom and turned over the site to Stephanie. Ally used to keep up the newpaper section of the site among other things because she had a scanner, when she left Stephanie excepted WDW help with scans. The only time Ally is involved in the site is when there is a technical problem with the site.
Stephanie asked for donations recently from fans and received enough to keep things going. There is also ads on the site if you didn't notice.
WDW, GB, and IHJ but not DC. That is not a Jake site but a BBM site, they dont care about a thread on a forum.
Stephanie works for a photo agency that is owned by either her dad or some other family member.
What that has to do with getting and posting Getty Images, WireImage, X17, Flynet, Splash, Bauer Griffin, ... photos?
Stephanie asked for donations recently from fans and received enough to keep things going.
Donations for buying photos?
IHJ nor any other fan sites are allowed to post wireimages photos anymore.
The photo agency she works for sees all photos, she gets to see them all from all the agencies you listed and then some. A lot of the Jake photos are not bought by the rags, even going back to the Kiki days, paps take 20 pics, the rags may use 3-4 tops and the rest are "dumped", she probably gets them cheap/discount, same with Bloom and Barnes.
The donations are for the up keep of the site and photo purchases, since you are a fans of Jake's that's a good thing right???
The site costs $$$ to run unlike blogs that cost nothing to run with free accounts.
I was always impressed how profesional and classy that site is and the maturity of the fans there.
2007
From SplashNews:
We hit Perez Hilton with a multi-million million dollar copyright lawsuit yesterday. Five celebrity photo agencies - Splash, Bauer-Griffin, Flynet, INF and London Entertainment Pictures warned Perez last December that we could no longer accept his unlawful use of copyright pictures without payment or credit.
He and his lawyers have refused to pay up and refused to take down unlawfully obtained photos. They don’t even have the decency to respond.
Most bloggers out there are decent, honest business people who understand the photographers need to earn an income and we thank all of you who do pay and credit and we are happy to supply you so you can entertain your readers.

The site costs $$$ to run unlike blogs that cost nothing to run with free accounts.
Web hosting, forum software and domain name are very cheap. It's a lot of work, but it doesn't cost much.
I have no idea how expensive are the photos.
Yes and Stephanie/IHjdo pay and give credit, they never had any problems with any agencies unlike Perez, they are class acts all the way.
When they started Gawker, defamer and JJ were busted by IHJ for using their images and not given credit, even taking off the ihj stamp. Cheap bastards, grown men ripping off high school girls. This when IHJ was the only place to get any and all Jake pics, then they were every where. Now he barely rates anymore on most blogs outside of his fan blogs.
OK, I'm happy that rich high school girls are providing us with Jake pictures.
I was always impressed how profesional and classy that site is and the maturity of the fans there.
IHJ forum is a very good fan site, but vaste majority of fans is very young and anything buy mature.
Jake Gyllenhaal may be one of the most gorgeous men in Hollywood but that didn't stop him from dropping a pretty penny on beauty products Friday afternoon in Los Angeles. Keeping his face looking young and smooth is part of the job, after all.
He'll need that and then some for his next acting assignment. Later this month Jake is off to Pittsburgh, PA to start production on Love and Other Drugs. The film is based on the memoir "Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman" and reunites him with Anne Hathaway - the two last worked together on Brokeback Mountain.
We expect girlfriend Reese Witherspoon to make at least a few visits to the set this fall – but how will she explain the subject of Jake’s movie to her kids? Jake is already like a step dad to them so maybe he should take on the challenge. Last month when Reese was on location in Philadelphia, the “family” all took in an Elton John concert together.

I know most think it's just a bearding situation, I think it's real, but a rather publicity/image kind of "romance" and that she's a jealous, controlling bitch.
That silly reeking crap supports your opinion that Reeke is real ???
I hope there'll be some Jake and Anne rumors, just to piss that arrogant, fake bitch off.
That silly reeking crap supports your opinion that Reeke is real ???
No, I believe they are real, but famewhores and that she's a fake bitch and he became a pretentious wimp (even more) since with her.
Well, you are wrong, Reeke is 100% fake.
^^Ah IDK. I want Reeke to end, that's all. It makes him not look good. Hardly anyone replies to IHJ posts of him or him with that stupid midget.
We expect girlfriend Reese Witherspoon to make at least a few visits to the set this fall
Everyone knows that is part of the reeking scenario.
It's a bit more interesting than standard Reeke photo op and Reese would never miss the opportunity for selling Reeke to her industry colleagues.
Hardly anyone replies to IHJ posts of him or him with that stupid midget.
Invite them to WFT2, maybe they'll enjoy trashing that stupid midget, lol.
The IHJ fans that were there from the beggining have gotten older,have boyfriends, matured, are in college and moved on. The fandom starting dying before Reeke, I noticed it when their was almost no interest in Zodiac, all down hill from there.
All fandoms reach their peek. Gossiping/speculating about bearding and who he is fucking isn't really interest, just a sideshow.
If fangirls on both sides of the fence were actually honest and admit that he is a bore and only pretending to be interested in Jake ALLof the blogs would go kaput IMO.
LOL 2:17 PM, I think you hit the nail on the head. ;)
Gossiping/speculating about bearding and who he is fucking isn't really interest, just a sideshow.
The point is that Jake can't be just Jake any more, he was replaced by Reeke.
The IHJ fans that were there from the beggining have gotten older,have boyfriends, matured, are in college and moved on.
Old fans left and reeking didn't bring in new fans.
LOL @ Michelle looking at that woman at the festival:
lesbian vibes?
^^Weren't there rumors about Michelle during DC anyway? Anyone else here who remembers that?
Who's that girl in the white dress?
I have no idea, but she's cute.
I just remembered how she asked Jake and Heath to make out off camera and to hold each other after making out. LOL.
She looks like an angel, talks like and angel, walks like an angel but, I think, I got wise little Michelle is a devil in disguise. ;)
*cough*
I've found out who Amanda is, namely Michelle's costume designer for Wendy and Lucy.
