Prince of Persia: The Story of Jake's Pecs
September 28, 2009 by Ted Casablanca
We seriously didn't think Jake Gyllenhaal's campy costume for the upcoming Disney flick Prince of Persia: The Story of Jake's Pecs could get more guffaw-worthy (despite the pretty damn doable bod itself, minus overdone Fabio trappings), but then we saw J.G.'s Lego action figure. Sorry, folks, we don't even get a pint-size superhero-esque action figure of chiseled Gyllen-hon to play with, but this supercute and totally harmless plastic children's toy instead? And it pretty much captures the doability—or lack thereof—of present-day Jakey perfectly.
Oh no?
Try as we might, we just can't drool over a guy who's become as vanilla as the soy latte we always catch him sipping alongside Reese. Manically manicured biceps 'n' abs in themselves don't make a real man, and neither does prancing around in a supersilly getup with an even more impractical piece of arm candy. We so know Gyllen-babe would rather jump back into indie film land and do his less pumped-up, more moody thing. He's so damn good at it, remember?
Is being a big, sweaty H'wood He-Man that important to ya, Jake? 'Cause this Lego figure almost pulls it off better than you have so far.
Please. For the sake of those three of us left who still swoon over ya, Jake, replace the gym and the GF with your true self. It was the hottest thing round there for a while.

'Wild' Joe Francis for gay rights
JOE Francis insists his decision to join the gay rights march in DC had nothing to do with rehabilitating his troubled image -- but all about civil rights. The "Girls Gone Wild" creator told us, "With the gay movement, it's personal. The same religious-right [bleep]holes who took away my civil rights and put me in jail for a year because they don't like what I do for a living have taken away gay rights. I know firsthand how it feels to have your civil rights stripped from you." But proving that the leopard never really changes its spots, Francis added, "P.S., lots of lesbians marched, too."
Al Pacino says, "At 20, I lived in Sicily by selling the only asset I had - my body. An older woman traded food and housing in return for sex. I woke mornings not really loving myself." [Daily Express]
Poor Al!
In his GDC China keynote, Prince of Persia creator Jordan Mechner explained that the series' evolution in games and film was assisted by its unpredictable history, with cracks in the plan allowing room for the franchise to grow creatively.
...
Film and games, though they have similarities, have important differences as well, says Mechner. "There's no button on the controller for sit down with someone and have a nice conversation... The game story was just an excuse for getting the player to get from point A to point B and kill everybody he meets." It is not, in his words, "this epic, romantic action movie that [the film version of] Prince of Persia was setting out to be."
In fact, while there might be a film to be made from the story as the game presented it, according to Mechner, "it's a B movie." There's also an important business reason the two are different, says Mechner. "Ubisoft was doing the games, and Disney was going to be doing the movie, and these were separate endeavors."
And the creative staff who got behind the film project -- producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Mike Newell, were drawn for other reasons than the success or core content of the game franchise, says Mechner. "The reason they wanted to make this movie, not because it was a video game, but because they liked the idea of doing a swashbuckling adventure movie."
The film project benefitted from Hollywood trends, says Mechner. "Movie genres follow cycles, just like game genres. The Arbian Nights genre hadn't been done at the A level in 40 years. It was a film genre that was ripe for renewal." This is much the same as the situation with Pirates of the Caribbean, another Bruckheimer project. "Somebody else would have made [an Arabian-themed film] that'd be coming out right about now."

divyasheel: On the set of Love & Other Drugs *ing Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway

The harder they try to sell POP S this epic action/drama/love story the more I am convinced it will suck big time. POP sounds like an epic fail.
Everything about PoP is epic!
On the set of Love & Other Drugs *ing Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway
What is he doing to Anne and Jake?!
Where are the Jake/Anne on set pics? Even though I believe (most of the time) that Jake is gay, I've a soft spot for J/A. Some cute lil pics will keep me happy till promo time. :D
I'm waiting... ;)
What is he doing to Anne and Jake?!
Not what I would like him to do to me!
Jake, darling, please try to control yourself!
Aside from watching Don Draper get rough with his underlings, our favorite scenes on Mad Men involve Sal getting in on with dudes. How well did things go this week? (SPOILERS AHEAD.)
Badly!
For whatever reason, Bryan Batt's character Sal didn't want to get it on in the editing suite with Lee, the son of Lucky Strike's honcho (that's in the clip above). Lee demands Sal be fired. You know, to avoid any awkwardness. Sal tells Don what happens, Don gets angry (complete with a "You people" line!), but doesn't bring up that bellhop incident. Not that it saves Sal's job. (That's in the second clip.)
Fast-forward to the episode's end, and Sal ends up where any down on his luck closeted homo does: cruising in the park. (That's in the last clip, cue to 42:35.)

Oh no, not another bad end gay story :(
Nichols tight-lipped over Bush rumours
One Tree Hill star Austin Nichols has reportedly declined to address rumours that he is dating co-star Sophia Bush. The pair, who split earlier this year after a two-year relationship, were recently reported to have rekindled their romance.
However, Nichols (Julian Baker) avoided discussing their relationship as he walked the red carpet at the Hollywood Style Awards in Los Angeles last night.
When asked by E! News about the rumours, Nichols replied: "I'm not going to say anything except that... I'm here to drink. We were talking before, we have a bunch of friends together, we work together."
Bush (Brooke Davis) was also at the event to present an award and walked the red carpet alone.
Digital Spy UK
"I'm here to drink" is a strange thing to say. If I were his PR I would give him a little slap for that.
"I'm here to drink because my no-good boyfriend is on bearding duty this weekend" would be less strange, but Austin's PR wouldn't approve either!
"Wouldn't approve" is understatement of the century.
"I'm here to drink" = Austin trying too hard
Trying too hard to be cool or ...?
Austin probably couldn't think of anything else to say when put on the spot. Trying to keep it light and not sound by gay by saying he's there for the fasion. :-D
"I'm here to check out the chicks" would be better!
str1keupthe8and: Currently I'm in the Melon Arena waiting for Jake Gyllenhaal to get on set so we can start filming or something...

On a purely platonic level, Austin was also seen talking to Zachary Quinto
The most interesting thing about the party, I would love to know more ;)
My lips are sealed!
BTW
That's Jake's "want to see my penis?" sign.
Yes, please!
I wonder how big this group of "concerned stockholders" is:
"Concerned Disney stockholders have submitted a shareholder resolution asking the Walt Disney Company to include the prohibition of discrimination based on ex-gay status in its sexual orientation policy and diversity training programs. 'The resolution cites the need for diversity and equality in the workplace,' said Regina Griggs, executive director of Parents and Friends of Ex-Gays & Gays (PFOX). The supporting statement for the resolution explains that, 'Disney's exclusion of ex-gays from its sexual orientation policy and programs reinforces the second-class status of ex-gays, and contributes to the negative perceptions and discrimination against former homosexuals.' The resolution also cites a recent judicial decision issued for the Nation's Capital by the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. In that case, brought by PFOX, the Court ruled that former homosexuals are a protected class that must be recognized under sexual orientation non-discrimination laws. The Court held that, under the D.C. Human Rights Act, sexual orientation does not require immutable characteristics."
PFOX is the nutty group that just declared hate crime laws to be "anti-ex-gay". And I see they're still spinning their remarkable court defeat as a victory.
Hopefully, Disney will see beyond this horseshit and take the stance of the American Psychological Association and tell these misguided and dangerous people to "explore possible life paths that address the reality of their sexual orientation."

"makes note to do research on Ex-Gays "
I Am Holding It In My Hand At Last!
No, not Jake Gyllenhaal's penis. Filthy-minded.
I mean this: [Drag Me to Hell DVD]
It is mine! Mine at last!
(Although my excitement has now been dampened by thoughts
of it being Jake Gyllenhaal's penis in my hand instead. Sigh...)

Dear Ted:
Love all that you do for animal shelters! Keep it up. I have a question about Jake Gyllenhaal. We know that he is a Blind Vice, but what I can't put my finger on is whether or not you like/respect him. What are your personal feelings about him? Good guy or do his hidden Vices make you dislike him?
—Jmp
Dear Boringhaal:
It's hard for me to respect Jake when I suspect he doesn't much respect himself right now. Wow, that was deep, huh?
Dear Ted
You said once that Toothy Tile is bisexual and loved his ex-GF. Why then does he need a beard and can't just say he's focusing on his career and that's why he's not dating if he wants to keep his current BF a secret?
—Confused
Dear Good Question:
Because then people would forget about him, and that would ultimately hurt his career. Right now, his beard keeps him relevant.
Dear Ted:
You didn't answer my last question, but I still love ya. So please answer this one, I know I'm begging. Is it a proven fact that if a gay celebrity comes out off the closet that they lose fans? I mean, if it doesn't happen, what are all these agents, managers or whatever so worried about? Let these people be happy and live their life as they please.
—Angie
Dear Bearer of Bad News:
Unfortunately, yes. Not everyone is as accepting as many pretend to be.
Bitch Back!
Because then people would forget about him, and that would ultimately hurt his career. Right now, his beard keeps him relevant.
Idk. IMO the mystery he had when he was "single" was part of his charisma and what made him interesting and therefore relevant. Now, he's overexposed and depicted as a dull, sexless, pussywhipped mama's boy idiot.
Right now, his beard keeps him relevant.
Nah, she isn't.
Perez outs Hayden Chirstensen:

I really belÃeve that. :(
3:43 PM, the link works for me. Maybe you should go directly to his homepage?
About Reese keeping him relevant. Well, most people I know don't know Jake. Only when you mention cerain films he was in like BBM a bell rings.
It's the same with Kirsten, I only knew him as her bf before watching BBM.
Works now :)

PDA Featuring Gayden And His Beard
Aw! How vomit inducing!
Hayden Christensen flew out of LAX yesterday and like a dutiful [hag] girlfriend, Rachel Bilson dropped him off.
The two shared a [forced] romantic kiss in Rachel's car, before Hayden headed out.
While he is gone, Rachel intends to have a life and actually work on her career. He should leave more often.
"Works now :)"
Good. :)
Aw! How vomit inducing!
We know the feeling! lol
Fuck! What did Hayden do to piss Perez off?

Gayden and His Beard
Hayden Christensen and fiance Rachel Bilson looked positively fetching as they mingled at a cocktail party honoring designer Kris Van Assche Tuesday night in NYC.
May 29, 2009
Rachel Bilson and Hayden Christensen attended the international Roland Garros Tennis tournament in Paris on Friday. Hayden got in on some of Bilson's chap stick. Sharing is caring!
February 18, 2009
Maybe she's not a beard after all??? Congrats to actress/fashionista Rachel Bilson and her actor beau, Hayden Christensen.
Hayden is behind with payments to Perez?
Sophia Bush & Austin Nichols Hold Hands
Sophia Bush stops by The Bonnie Hunt Show on Tuesday (October 13) and shares that she’s honored that she was be asked to join the organization Teachers Count because her teachers were so influential in who she has become.
The 27-year-old One Tree Hill actress said, “I think particularly with young people in the entertainment industry, the focus has gotten inappropriate. When people can have careers which consist of nothing but going to parties…and they get paid to go to parties because they’ve been less than clothed…it’s not something I can believe in. The ‘I”ll do anything to be famous’ standard doesn’t last.”
As for what she finds sexy, Sophia said, “I think smart is sexy because that’s all that lasts.”
We bet Austin Nichols is a very smart man, then! (They were spotted holding hands at Sunday’s Hollywood Style Awards.)

Boringhaal, lol!
Has Ted ever said that he was in love with TT?
About Reese keeping him relevant. Well, most people I know don't know Jake.
And people don't care about Reese Witherspoon enough to give a fuck about her "bf". Fail.
Has Ted ever said that he was in love with TT?
Never heard about it, but Ted did say / imply that he likes TT very much :)
Few months ago Ted said that isn't interested in Toothy that way and that he prefers men like his (ex) husband.
Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall and the rest of the Sex and the City ladies are getting some A-list company in their upcoming sequel to last year's SATC movie.
OK! Magazine reports that Penelope Cruz has just filmed a cameo for the flick, joining already confirmed guest appearances by Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus and Liza Minnelli. (Minnelli will be belting out a rendition of Beyonce's "Single Ladies" during the wedding between Stanford and Anthony—for which Parker's Carrie Bradshaw will serve as best man.)
Sounds like the movie, which has a May 28, 2010, release date, is going to be a star-studded affair.
OT: TMZ sent Gov Arnold pics of his wife Maria Shriver driving while yapping on her cell phone (illegal in Calif) and Arnold sent a twitter back saying he's gonna "take swift action".. he'll probably be sleeping in the doghouse tonight.

"Now, he's overexposed and depicted as a dull, sexless, pussywhipped mama's boy idiot."
haha... so true!
The Digital Spy article about Bushnic is on ONTD. The OP has i guess he's too busy with jake gyllenhaal underneath. LOL.
Most comments call BS on the dating story and someone posted big pics of Lakers 1 (although they forgot the "Jake lean" one which is my favorite. Only a few commenters believe Bushnic to be real; must be the 12-17 age group.
Now, he's overexposed and depicted as a dull, sexless, pussywhipped mama's boy idiot.
But you still love me! Right?
Right?
Most comments call BS on the dating story and someone posted big pics of Lakers 1
Someone should post Austin, Sophia and Jake's sneaker beach photos :)
After seeing the Jake and Austin Laker 1 pics I LOL'd at this one.
Shit I'm still LOLing....lol
^^^^ Sorry, but EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!
^^^ Aw! How vomit inducing!
Look at Jake's face LMAO
It sounds like Ted is talking out of both sides of his ass in answering those letters. First he says he doesn't respect Toothy because he doesn't respect himself--presumably meaning he doesn't respect himself enough to not beard. But then Ted turns around and implies that bearding is a good thing?
WTF
Not to mention I wouldn't call becoming a laughing stock and/or sexless frumpy guy known as "reese's boyfriend" staying relevant.
Plenty of other actors stay "relevant" even though they're hardly seen.
Ted hit one out of the park yesterday, now he's back to his Jekyll and Hyde ways and answering stupid questions.
SIGH.
Seriously, Reeke Lakers 1 is nothing compared to Jaustin Lakers 1. Jake looks natural and in love/lust in JL1. In RL1 he looks miserable like he's trying to make the best of it. All of his body language with the beard in RL1 says manufactured, stiff and awkward as in "I really don't want to be here." It's nothing like JL1 where it's comfortable yet cute-awkward in the "we have to make sure we keep our hands off each other" way.
str1keupthe8and: New highlight of my life: Watching Jake Gyllenhaal do the Macerena a few feet away from me. Friggin' tits.
5 minutes ago from txt
I wonder if it's part of the movie or if it's what Jake does in his spare time.
I would have to guess that straight guys wouldn't normally do the Macarena?
TMZ sent Gov Arnold pics of his wife Maria Shriver driving while yapping on her cell phone (illegal in Calif)
Craig Ferguson driving, yapping on the cell phone and fixing his make up
Now for my next song I'm going to do a favorite of mine from South Pacific...
LMAO!
Craig Ferguson LOL
Why not? Ever been to a wedding in the 90s, 7:49?
Uh no 7:53 it's before my time. I don't even know what the Macarena is, a dance thing you do with your hands?
Ah I see, but so quick to be all judgey about gay vs. straight on dance you know nothing about. Nice one. Dancing is dancing, doesn't matter if you're straight or gay.
Straight guys did the Macerena in the 90's unfortunately, gay guys wouldn't be caught doing that crap.
The movie takes place when that dance was popular, it's part of the movie.
The macerena was the equvilent of the electric slide at weddings, I don't even think the macerena is done at weddings anymore, talk about dated!
Macarena is a very masculine dance!
"so quick to be all judgey"
Huh? Judgey?? FYI I wrote "I would have to guess that straight guys wouldn't normally do the Macarena?"
Pay attention to the details 8:02:
(1) GUESS
(2) ? at the end --> it was a QUESTION.
Sheesh.
It's like doing the hokey pokey!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Macarena_in_Iraq.jpg
Watching Jake Gyllenhaal do the Macerena a few feet away from me.
Awwwwwwwwwwww, that is so sweet! :)
Sonds pretty lame to me, a dance made up for people who don't know how to dance!
It should be a hoot watching piegon-toe Jake doing the 90's version of hokey-pokey, LOL!
Watching Jake Gyllenhaal do the Macerena a few feet away from me. Friggin' tits.
Friggin' tits = fucking tits?! What does "friggin' tits" mean?
LOL what if the Macarena ISN'T part of the movie and he was doing it just to do it?! Would it be comparable to singing South Pacific songs on the City Slicker set?! (Billy Ctystal: "He's gonna be GAY!")
I can dance!
Classic Sundance Festival Moments: Jake Gyllenhaal & Zooey Deschanel
"friggin' tits"
"tits" is used a lot in British slang like "It was the tits" but I can't remember if it means good or bad, lol
I guess "tits" means bad..lol
# (British, pejorative, slang) An idiot; a fool.
Look at that tit driving on the wrong side of the road!
(^^ from Wiki)
Umm, no. Nobody does that crap anymore only if they have to like a movie, it takes place in 1997 the time when the song and dance were a hit.
You are really grasping now, gay men didn't do that dance, it was a hit with the haus fraus and their hubbies. Sure Jake and peopl his age wouldn't have been caught dead doing that back then.
South Pacific= the Macerena?? Sounds a bit homophobic to me. It seems anytme you here dance and men-gay to you.
If he was doing the electric slide I think youu would find a gay angle to it. I noticed thatanything that is posed here that isn't remotely gay, is spun that way, it's like it others you that some people don't fll into a sterotype and it's a threat .
Like he was epotted at a Steelers game a few weeks back, the usual fangirl homophoic crap about PR trying to butch him up or him looking at the asses of the players was not only stupid but homophoic, like a gay man isnot supposed to like sports and you need to find a gay angle.
Just as bad as the freeper right wing scum.
Babbler at 8:28. Jake cannot possibly be gay or do gay things!
Everybody looked bad doing that dance, worst crap ever! No wonder it caught on so quickly with the minivan crowd and their doofy hubbies!
Funny how Babblers try to turn anything we say is "gay" into homophobia.
8:28 PM
I'm sure Jake enjoys watching sports AND sportsmen's firm asses.
him looking at the asses of the players was not only stupid but homophoic
A gay guy looking at men's asses is homophobic?!! LOL go back to Babble you friggin weirdo.
Macerena gay?? LOL I twasn't and you know it, you were old enough to know that sweetie. The least gay dance ever.
Stop labeling everything gay, it's homophobic.
Look, the whole cast did the craperena on set today, they are all gay!:

Let's see, Jake plays a viagra salesman who in the course of the film breaks up with his GF and falls in love with another woman among other things.
No wonder you are trying to gay up everything in this movie, the most hetro-centric film being filmed IMO, you don't like the fact thathe is doing this type of role, probably glad that Nailed is probably never going to see the light of day. Oh yeah there is Brothers, you probably won't see that either, Natalie is a icky girl with breasts and a vagina.
Stop labeling everything gay, it's homophobic.
you probably won't see that either, Natalie is a icky girl with breasts and a vagina.
LOL you don't make sense, Babbler.
Stop labeling everything gay, it's homophobic.
Only a babbler troll would label gay as being homophobic. LMAOAPIMP
8:43 PM
Babbler, what is your problem?
BTW, playing macho won't turn Jake straight.
Let's see, Jake plays a viagra salesman who in the course of the film breaks up with his GF and falls in love with another woman among other things.
No, Anne breaks up with her BF.
8:35, no you silly fangirl, why make silly comments like looking at asses. Why couldn't you just say, I didn't know he was a Steeler fan, etc. But now you make the same homophobic straight guys assumptions, God forbid if he just liked sports. I know plenty of gay guys that go to sporting events and it's not to look at asses. Sick of the bullshit and hags like you who pretend to be gay-friendly but are nothing but a bunch of homophobic slobs.
You are obviously don't like that and prefer to push sterotypes. Theg gay petting zoo is now closed, you hags are a dying breed. You need to find something else to get your shit and giggles.
Calling me a babbler ain't going to work, you know i'm right.
8:35, no you silly fangirl, why make silly comments like looking at asses.
Because I'm sure Jake LOVES doing that and there is nothing wrong with checking out hot guys.
Now watch - we're going to get a 6 paragraph misspelled ramble from the babbler troll going on about gays are homophobic when they look at the same sex and who wants to bet "freeper right wing scum" will be used again (extra points!) along with DC forum is anti-Semitic blah blah crap.
"you know i'm right."
LOL thanks I needed the laugh.
Why couldn't you just say, I didn't know he was a Steeler fan, etc.
Because this is a fun, clever, cutting, teasing site. Something you obviously know nothing about. Babblers are so humorless.
Babblers are politically correct fans!
The buddy greeting difference between men and women:
Men:
Hey dogface
Hey ugly
Hey asshole
Hey queenie
Hey queer guy
Hey princess
Women:
Hi hey your hair looks great
LOL :)
Wfters are grammatically correct fans!
Damn 7 paragraphs not 6. Unless it's 6 and the last one can be counted as the closing salutation?
Thre are gay men who like sports, are masuline and don't like showtunes.
So what?
Jake isn't masculine, loves sports and showtunes. Do you have a problem with that?
"Labeling everything you come accross as gay just because you don't like what's going on is not only homophobic"
LOL yeah riiight, I post on a site that's gay and I believe that Jake is gay because I'm homophobic, LOL
"Phony, ignorsnt, backwards, nasty, bitter and dumber that a box of hair."
LOL that's YOU, babe.
Who thinks this is funny?
YOU do. You are here, aren't you?
Babbler doesn't like people, period. What a weirdo. I hope their nasty attacking comments get deleted.
Babbler,
Jake is gay, bottom and not very masculine. Deal with that.
yhteb: I've seen Jake Gyllenhall's ass, watched him puke, fuck, piss, shit, dry hump a dude, and jack off, all in one movie. Glorious.

In today's random pics at Ent Lawyer: "Ever wonder why Anderson Cooper loves working out? This is his trainer."
LOL Jake probably thinks Alex the twitterer is following him.
IMO Spike Jonze is a cutie.
Even when one considers anecdotal evidence - “If this isn’t the greatest country then why do so many people want to come here?’’ - the case isn’t particularly persuasive. Mexicans cross the border to the United States for economic opportunity. Turks go to Germany, Indians and Pakistanis to Great Britain, Arabs to France. This isn’t a sign of our special greatness, just a sign that desperate people seek a more powerful economy for their betterment.
The point of all this isn’t that America doesn’t have a lot to be proud of. It does. The point is that just about every country has a lot to be proud of, and America has no more right to assume it is the greatest nation in the world than does France, Switzerland, China, or Russia.
A country that believes it is the greatest in the world is also less likely to be constrained by that world. One could argue that the Iraq war was a direct result of a sense of national infallibility. So was our willingness to torture, our reluctance to admit our mistakes in Afghanistan, our culpability in the global recession, and our foot-dragging on global warming. Such a nation is also less likely to introspect or to strive for true greatness because it believes its greatness has already arrived.
There is something bizarre about a country whose leaders have constantly to toady to their constituents and in which any criticism is tantamount to a lack of patriotism, but that describes America today. We aren’t going to hear that sort of honesty from political leaders any more because the American people are too thin-skinned and arrogant to tolerate it.
A nation that brooks no criticism, a nation that feels it is always better than any other, a nation that has to be endlessly flattered and won’t face the truth, a nation whose people think they possess some special moral exemption and wisdom, a nation without humility is a nation spoiling for calamity.
One nation, under illusion(Boston Globe)
Jake is in a smart laudable minority for choosing Rendition and TDAT. :)
and fer shoozin hiway
opps brb i got the munchies real baaad
LOL pothead American, at least he's not arrogant like the rest.
Anderson's trainer is hot. Hotter than hot.
The ONTD comment with the Lakers pics was great. The picture was super big. I wish they had posted all of them. Jake looked so happy that day.
he'll probably be sleeping in the doghouse tonight
The ruff and tuff Governator can sleep with me I'll keep him warm.
WOOF!

While paparazzi may get a bad rap for their methods, celebrity columnist Ben Widdicombe said things are not always what they seem. "A lot of times the shot you see in the magazine is actually orchestrated by the celebrity themselves," said celebrity columnist Ben Widdicombe. "Celebrities like Britney Spears, for example, are infamous in the industry for letting their assistants tell the paparazzi when they'll be leaving the gates."
Thank god he didn't mention my name.
What do you mean "again" ??

Oops, 4:49 AM was quicker! :)
Maybe it has something to do with her being a Christ-follower?
Whut? Seeing me do the Macarena is a religious experience.
I'm always quicker. No time to waste!
Daddy did you lick yourself again?
Jake can lick himself?! He's that flexible?
Daddy n/m. I get mixed up with you and Daddy Austin and all the other Uncles and the heads and tongues and durty paws going at it I don't know who's licking who anymore.
Be careful what you say Atticus. Remember euthanasia is just a car ride and one shot away.
Jake can lick himself?! He's that flexible?
I never miss a yoga session!
Daddy, you need me. Who else is gonna do the paw print on the "Witness" line in all the Confidentiality Agreements?
Shaddup Atticus.
I wonder why Atti's right front paw is usually blue on the bottom?
*Oops, I should bathe Atticus more often!*
Whut? Seeing me do the Macarena is a religious experience.
It was a religious experience - my reaction was "What The Hell is he doing?!?!".
Nooooooo. A bath once a year, whether I need it or not, is more than enough.
Yesterday at Chaya and tonight at Dish, is Jake Gyllenhaal following me? And this time Anne Hathaway came along!
Anne in Pittsburgh - finally! :)

Anderson's trainer is hot. Hotter than hot.
*Maybe Anderson wouldn't mind sharing?*
Fuck off cowboy.
Why?!?
I'm NOT sharing my trainer.
Okay maybe for one threesome. But you can't touch him at all. You touch only me.
Just for a few hours? I need advice for my gluteus maximus work out.
Or maybe you can just watch us.
Okay maybe for one threesome.
YES!
"work out" yeah riiight. We all know how you "work out" Mr. Pretty Boy. First it's coffee, asking if they want to hang out, then it's the UCLA track field with them doing crunches with their crotch in your face so you can inspect their jockstrap, next it's bike riding so you can massage their thighs afterwards.
*wow that white furred guy knows the drill*
Anderson, you forgot his "want to see my penis?" routine.
Austin tell me about that part. Talk slowly.
*I wonder how often he gets a bath to keep his fur nice and white.. maybe once a month?*
Or maybe you can just watch us.
I'm a nice guy so I must warn you - gays can't keep their hands off me!
Austin tell me about that part. Talk slowly.
How about we meet in NYC and have a nice, long chat?
P.S. Tequila will be on me!
Austin, you are on!
T.R. Knight told Ellen DeGeneres, "I want a baby... I don't know if it's going to end up working out, but that would be something I would like." [Us]
IMO Spike Jonze is a cutie.
Catherine Keener and Spike are good friends.
IDK how he was as a boyfriend to Michelle and how he was to Matilda, but he's one of many bf's Michelle is going to have, I'm sure of it. She's always been promiscuous. Doesn't mean she's a bad person though.
I saw a picture and a video where Spike Jonze kisses Where the Wild Things Are lead actor's head/hair. Very sweet.
P.S. I'm not insinuating anything :)
