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.

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 2161 Newer› Newest»Let's face it: Jake sold his soul to the devil.
If there weren't so many child rape apologists, punishments would be harder and pedos would think twice before drugging and raping kids. We live in a sad, sad world.
Let's face it: Jake sold his soul to the devil.
Nothing is written in stone, not even fauxmance contracts.
7:50, IMO you're underestimating the tabloid effect a Reeke engagement will have.
Thre will be no Reeke engagement and tabloids would be over it in two issues.
Too late, 7:53 - Jake already sold his soul. The installment payment plan started with the fauxmance contract.
But a break up would give them, or rather Reese, just as much or more tabloid coverage. Imagine how much PR mileage Reese could get out of it- "Reese ends the rebound romance" "Reese taking time for herself" "Reese doing all the things she's always wanted to do" "Reese spending a all girls weekend with Ava" "Are they getting back together?". My God the stories are endless. Hey Reeke PR--you guys should tell her how much PR she could get and it would be all hood PR totally about Reese. She wouldn't have to share any print space with that annoying fake boyfriend anymore.
All I know is, celebrities are worried about a planned Reeke engagement. None of them are ready to die yet.
Sorry, hood should be good.
Jake has many friends. I doubt Natalie is that crucial.
Natalie made a mistake, she isn't perfect, but Jake has no reason to drop her or Sam Mendes as friends.
Jake has attended Mass several times already, i'm sure he will feel right at home helping the kiddies look for Easter eggs at the WH, lol!!
Imagine how much PR mileage Reese could get out of it- "Reese ends the rebound romance" "Reese taking time for herself" "Reese doing all the things she's always wanted to do" "Reese spending a all girls weekend with Ava" "Are they getting back together?".
Yeah but quintuple that if there's an "Engagement!" then "Reese has Doubts!" and then "Getting Married!" then "Reese and Jake's Wedding Plans!" then "Reese Breaks Engagement!" THEN your "Rebound" chapter.
Easter eggs? Chickens? Hens?! I'll be looking for the cocks!
LOL everyone will be on the White House lawn rolling Easter eggs and Jake will be in the bushes rolling a White House intern.
What would garner even more press is Jake coming out. Reese could do interviews for weeks on how she was duped into believing he was interested in her, how devastated she is. She would earn some sympathy too, something she could use. It would make her seem less like an ice queen bitch.
Sonce a lot of DC posters post here maybe you have a opinion on this from the DL:
The Repugs realize they have gay voters out there. So they throw their queers a bone once in a while. Like how they hired that mo to pen the recent fictional recounting of the Columbine tragedy. Why, they weren't outcasts driven to murderous rage after all.

Is this true? Is Dave Cullen in bed with the Rethugs? Is he a log cabin rethug? Would be no surprise a lot of posters there are,the reason I stopped posting there, that and how he "gandled" that situation about that forum member that stole that $$$ from people there.
How did that book do anyway??

What would garner even more press is Jake coming out.
That would bring more publicity to Jake and Reese would look like a fool.
Reese wants "I have it all" public image - she was faking a marriage to get that and she is faking now.
Re James Franco on a soap. Soaps are leading the way with many having gay relationships and gay kissing and gay love scenes in their broadcasts. More than primetime TV and certainly more than movies. Also I believe that some of those soaps have out gay actors working in those roles (and other roles) and the management has no problem with it. Maybe we should focus our attention on soaps and give up on movies run by 1950's homophobic Hollywood.
So it was well reviewed but didn't sell very well I assume.
BTW, did the FBI ever track down that Pete gut who was a mod on DC and Cullen gave him access to his account . He put DC posters $$$ in the account, $$$ that was supposed to go to buy space in industry papers like Variety to thank everyone associated with BBM after the AA? The ad was purchased but Pete took the extra $$$$ that was supposed to Be used for other projects. Cullen did nothing until a few people got wind of it.
BTW, that ad was supposed to be in the LA times not an industry rag like Variety so the very same people who voted for Crash would see it. Cullen just wanted to pimp his site and get notice from industry types, the LA times would not have served his purpose.
Karma is a bitch, stupid BBM fans defended him and still continue to, assholes.

^^^^ Trolly will love them!
I wonder if Jake reads the internet about himself and knows what an idiot he's become in the eyes of former fans. Reese probably tells him not to, when all the while she's planting bf, stepfather and marriage stories about him, lol. He probably has no clue how much she's using him to further herself and destroy his career.
9:19 PM
Jake doesn't give a shit about beard's advices. I'm sure Jake reads about himself, but not everything and not all the time - that wouldn't be healthy.
Wow some trolly is sure bored.
Jake doesn't give a shit about beard's advices.
I'm sure he does take her stupid advice. Make no mistake - that's why all of Jake's movies, fanbases and PR strategies have been shit ever since he started associating with her.
Thank you Jackie for being here and deleting the inappropriate and sick comments. You do a lot of work that goes unnoticed but is always appreciated. Thanks again.
I'm sure he does take her stupid advice.
No, he doesn't. Reese is not in a position to give any advices and Jake is in a position to ask a lot of people for advice.
"Jackie" didn't delete, one of the posters here has access and deletes. This is like a chat forum, you need someone to be here 24/7.
Yeah riiiiight, Jake doesn't take Reese's advice. And he's not spineless either. And he doesn't follow her around like a fly on shit. And all of his projects since bearding with her have been A-1 Oscar-winning roles. Uh huh.
Yeah riiiiight, Jake doesn't take Reese's advice.
That's right. Who needs advices from someone who produces and acts in shit like Penelope and 4C?
Jake doesn't give a fuck about his dwindling online "fans". He knows for example that some post over and over again on sites like E, JJ and ONTD so he and his handlers know that the base is small.
Very easy for PR to get the ISP addresses from JJ and even E, no secret especially on sites where you don't need to register.
Well whoever deleted the sick comments the trolly left: Thank you.
And he doesn't follow her around like a fly on shit.
Reese doesn't beard to do Jake a favour, she needs an escort and that's Jake's job.
Jake takes advice from his handlers, and they prolly told him that the online fanbase is small, loud ut small so he doesn't give a shit.
Very easy for PR to get the ISP addresses from JJ and even E, no secret especially on sites where you don't need to register.
It's very easy to change your ISP address. I do, several times a day.
Who needs advices from someone who produces and acts in shit like Penelope and 4C?
Jake said he did Rendition because Reese was in it. And Rendition was shit!
Jake doesn't give a fuck about his dwindling online "fans".
I'm sure Jake is happy about not having fans and not getting new fans after all that reeking. lol
Who needs fans when I got Reese's fans?
Jake said he did Rendition because Reese was in it.
Jake didn't say that - no one ever posted link.
I'm sure Jake is happy about not having fans and not getting new fans after all that reeking. lol
3 years of reeking, Jake loses 80% of his fans, any that he gained are because he's the "bf" of Reese Witherspoon and still very few people online and in the public think Jake is straight. And all of his projects are either postponed (Brothers, POP) or put on the shelf (Nailed). LOL
Who needs fans when I got Reese's fans?
Reese has fans? I think someone would notice if that was the case. LOL
Jake didn't say that - no one ever posted link.
Yes he did. I'm too lazy to find it, but it is in an interview.
No, he didn't. I've watched and read all Jake's Rendition interviews.
Obviously not all of them. LOL
We know Jake did Rendition because script and director were more than promising. If Jake didn't mention Meryl Streep, someone he did have scenes with in Rendition, then there is no reason to believe that Reese has anything to do his role in Rendition (except maybe connection between Rendition promotion and fauxmance contract).

Jake didn't have any scenes with Meryl Streep!
... had anything to do with his role in Rendition
Jake didn't have any scenes with Meryl Streep!
Yes, he did - talking on the phone.
BTW, Meryl Streep is an acting legend.
LOL you really think they were talking on the phone together?!
Btw Reese was probably cast first, then Jake, and Meryl later.
"He's the butt pirate right?" - Mr. Tokarski chimes in on a conversation about Jake Gyllenhaal.
Who is Mr. Tokarski and how come he knows so much about butt pirates?
LOL you really think they were talking on the phone together?!
Playing dumb doesn't make you look smart.
Jake didn't have any scenes with Meryl, Reese or Peter.
Gavin Hood said in an interview that he approached Reese at some AA party about the roll after his first choice, Cate Blancard wasn't available dure to some other movie she was working on. He didn't mention he approached Jake who we all know was at the same parties probably. In Sept. 2006 it was announced that Jake and Reese signed on for Rendition, Meryl, Peter and Alan Arkin were announced earlier.
I do remember him saying that he signed on to it because of Reese, said that she was one of the best young actreese in HW.
It may have been an Interview on air, ET? The TIFF? I'm positive he said it.
Meryl, Reese, Peter and Alan all shot their scenes in LA/DC in Nov/Dec of 2006. Jake didn't start filming until late 2007 in Morocco. He may have done some re-shoots and they were probably shot in LA. They didn't need to be in the same palce to film the phone scene.
I do remember him saying that he signed on to it because of Reese, said that she was one of the best young actreese in HW.
Jake did say that Reese is "one of the best actresses of her generation" but he never said that he signed on to it because of Reese.
Anyway my point was that Jake most likely thought that Reese was the hottest thing since sliced bread and followed her every word. After 3 years, shit movies, a loss of 80% of his fans and looking gayer than ever since bearding with the bitchface phony ass, I think he's starting to wake up and realize she's not all that, most of HW hates her, she's using him and she's a jinx to him personally and professionally. At least, I hope he's finally getting the hint. How stoopid can the boy be?
Anyway my point was that Jake most likely thought that Reese was the hottest thing since sliced bread and followed her every word.
Jake was just being nice, no one in Hollywood thinks that Reese was or is an amazing actress.
Playing dumb doesn't make you look smart.
Saying that actors had scenes together when it was 2 separate phone call filming of the characters makes you look dumber than a rock!
Jake was just being nice
Jake was naive and desperate for a public female mentor. He made great film choices when he was with Kirsten - I guess he thought Oscar winner Reese would be even better to help his karma. Little did he know she's an asshole, no one likes her and she would turn him into shit!
Jake needed a beard - that's all.
She started as a scratchy beard and then took over like a bad infection. Now she's gangrene and he wants to get rid of her but he would have to amputate.
Reese Infection: Don't Let This Happen To You.
OT: In northern LA area there's a new fire going on and it's called the Sheep Fire. Where's Ang Lee? I think they need to investigate him lol.
She started as a scratchy beard and then took over like a bad infection.
Jake was expecting that! lol
Jake: "She [Witherspoon] can grow a mean beard, that’s for sure (laughter)! I don’t know if you’ve seen her beard — it’s amazing!"
I always thought that "if you’ve seen her beard — it’s amazing!" was using "beard" as a verb (not a noun). I bet Jake doesn't think Reese's bearding is so "amazing" now, more like domineering and suffocating.

Maybe we should focus our attention on soaps and give up on movies run by 1950's homophobic Hollywood.
One Life To Live could use a ratings boost! Kyle and Fish are definitely worth watching. Fish is played by out actor Scott Evans (brother of Chris) and the pairing has a lot of chemistry. Right now Kyle is with another guy Nick (also played by an out actor) but Kyle/Fish is the endgame. Plus OLTL actually lets their gays kiss more than once a year, unlike As The World Turns' BORING Luke and Noah. A lot of conservatives are blaming the ratings decline on the focus on gay storylines (there's another one starting up now that involves gay marriage) so it would be nice to prove them wrong and get more viewers.

Thank you 12:28. Sounds great. I'm gonna start watching! I used to watch (and record) Y&R but it got boring. OLTL might be just what I need to get into a soap again.
Any soap is better than this Reeke crap.
Reeke: 3 years and the storyline hasn't changed and the "romance" is still in the handholding stage LOL
It cracks me up on soaps when someone has a baby, then the child is never seen for about 3 years, then when they are, the kid is already in high school. The babies grow up so fast but the adults never age!
Kinda like if there's a BT and if Jake gets married and adopts a baby. The "baby" (BT) will be 8 years old and will surprisingly look exactly like Jake lol.
OT Maya Angelou is in hospital in serious condition, rumor is she has passed away (but is not confirmed).
Btw MA is in hospital in LA.
It's all over Twitter and on TMZ. It's not even on the TV or internet news yet.
[~ And who says Twitter is faked, stupid and useless. It was the 1st source for MJ, Patrick Swayze, DJ AM deaths, etc., and all current news of fires, tsunamis and earthquakes.]
This post has been censored by a true believer.
Ladies, I'm still gay.
Drew Barrymore:
"I know certain actors are totally screwed up on drugs, yet it gets covered up. Why wasn't I excused for 'exhaustion' or 'the flu'?"
Why does she complain? It's better people were so open about it and didn't hide it or underestimate her problems. If they did, maybe she wouldn't be alive today.
Btw. Her movie "Whip It" is in theaters right now and it's getting some good reviews. She's also the director of the movie :)
A question to posters who maybe know. Is it possible to hide an addiction from family and friends or a partnter at least at the beginning of the relationship?
Thanks.
Oh, just stop with this “Oh, he’s gay and Reese is a beard”. Lucky you if you know him so well, are you a friend of his?
Enough now.
I can't say whether Jake is gay or bi. I don't know if he is indeed dating Reese or bearding with her, but for a long time I've found their relationship off. Can't put my finger on what it is. I feel this relationship of whatever kind is dragging Jake down. If he's bi and prefers to date women publically, he'd be better off with a less known woman or a regular woman who's not in the business. He's making a fool of himself with her and I don't like that.
What I dislike is that he is bearding, which is homophobic and it also means he is trying to manipulate the public. He also has no qualms about using his beard’s kids to further his image. I don’t think he’s cute, he looks like an effeminate monkey. One of the most over rated idiots in HW. If not for his beard, there is nothing to talk about him.
12:28, I LOVE Kyle and Fish on OLTL. They're SO cute and have a lot of chemistry. Can't wait until they finally get together. I don't care for Kyle's current bf, the overtanned, overplucked and boring Nick. They have no chemistry together and when they kiss, Kyle always looks like he wants to run away.
The other gay storyline that's starting up is going to be VERY over the top because it involves Dorian, who's running for mayor against her long-time nemesis, Vicki. Dorian, deciding she needs the LGBT in town, "marries" her lesbian campaign manager--and in a ceremony where many of the town's same-sex couples will get married (though it's not legal in the state) to show their support for same-sex marriage. I can't wait to see it.
It's LGBT vote--I saw I didn't type in that word.
I don't know if he is indeed dating Reese or bearding with her
Fans who follow bearding from the start don't have that problem - first Reeke photos from Rome are showmance proof.
travisanewton: After checking Twitter topics for other Anne sightings, it looks like she made her rounds today. LACMA, Arclight, Amoeba. A very busy day.

From the attacks made here, i think "Jackie" is one of the moderators from DC forum.
"Jackie" didn't delete, one of the posters here has access and deletes. October 03, 2009 9:39 PM
How can you know?
From the attacks made here, i think "Jackie" is one of the moderators from DC forum.
What "attacks"? oh the words on a web page
From the attacks made here, i think "Jackie" is one of the moderators from DC forum.
DC forum welcomes JiG posts?!
And who says Twitter is faked, stupid and useless. It was the 1st source for MJ, Patrick Swayze, DJ AM deaths, etc., and all current news of fires, tsunamis and earthquakes.
Twitter is full of useless and fake tweets - just like the rest of the Internet (blogs, forums, facebook, myspace, web sites...).
There has been speculation about "jackie" since they showed up on WFT2 in late 2007,pimping wf2 when it became clear that dany was going to fold wf2. Dany even gave "jackie" her blessings, LOL!!
I don't know about a DC mod but she is a brokie and Ryan fan since she delete all negative posts aout him here.
I think people think that "jackie" is a Dc mod is because it appears that DC posters post here, I would think a majority of the posters here are and "Jackie" seems to know them.
First clue was during the election: there were a lot of racist posts about Obama posted here (from DC posters, I recognized the filth from some of the log cabin freeps that posted on DC) along with some anti-semitic crap usually pointed at Naomi, calling her a jewess,etc. again I remember the same comments on DC. Anyway they were left up here until someone complained. "Jackie" finally deleted them and they haven't appeared again. IMO she contacted the posters and told them to stop, how would she know who they were since everyone here posts anon., no registration so she must know the clique that posts here.
It's impossible to recognise the posters based on the few sentences.
While Bradley Cooper was in Vancouver looking all hot filming the A-Team movie…
…Renee was lunching with a mystery man in LA. How could she??? LOL
ONTD
^^^ Bad beard!
Contrary to a Saturday night TMZ.com report, literary giant Maya Angelou was not hospitalized while in Los Angeles, CNN reported this morning.
10:26
She doesn't need to know the posters basedon a few sentences since she knows who posts here.
How? How could anyone know who you are?
Every computer has an own IP address.
No one knows who posts here, this is a blog that really is a chatroom. No registration required, a clique of regulars post here but are recognizable to others since they all post on DC/OMG. The bashing of OMG and DC posters here where anon. posters seem to know who the others are talking about confirms this.
You know Lola being Bubba, Queen Beirhal or how ever you spell her name being mentioned, comments about other DC posters, defending Kate/WDW for reasons known to DC posters and the obsession with cunty and Jake's tacky family, etc.
Only Jake fans on DC and here pay attention to the Gyllenhaal family, I think that even DC posters started up a blog about them, LOL!! And crazy cunty, only she would have an audience here.
I used to post on DC and WDW and OMG and I recognize the posters even though they post anon. here.
All one big incestious circle jerk.
As someone posted above, ISP addresses can be changed several times a day and i suspect that what goes on when one needs to post multile times on sites like JJ and E where you don't need to register. Perez, MK, Popsugar you need to register, ONTd you need a LJ account. Even in those cases changes I suspect that ISP addresses are changed and multiple accounts are created, same with DC.
People who are retired or unemployed have time to engage in this all day.
I don't post on OMG or DC. The link to this blog was posted on some message board (don't remember which one)..that's how I got here.
Every computer has an own IP address.
"At present there is no way one can get the IP address of the commentators for receive, which use the Blogger commentating system."
Only Jake fans on DC and here pay attention to the Gyllenhaal family.
False. All Jake sites and fan blogs pay attention to the Gyllenhaal family.
I like this blog, it's fun. We can discuss things we can't do on real Jake fansites. I wish there were such blogs for some other actors I follow.
I used to post on DC and WDW and OMG and I recognize the posters even though they post anon. here.
I used to post on all other Jake sites, but I don't try to recognize the posters. Why would I care? I care about new info and discussions.
11:57: Name another Jake fan blog that is obsessed with that trashy family besides here, WDW and DC? Not so much OMG and certainly not IHJ after the incident with the crazy dad. I don't think GB bothers with them that much either.
Constantly linking to crazy papa's shitty blog and that batshit crazy cunty, I don't see it on any other Jake blog.
Maybe it's an age thing and the posters here are the same age as papa and cunty, or they identify with the crazy or most likely they will expose deep dark Jakey-poop secrets, LOL!!!
Washed up Naomi and Stephen and pathetic cunty, why in hell would jake fans outside of here give a shit about that trash?
I wish there were such blogs for some other actors I follow.
Can you give us a few examples of banned subjects for other actors?
11:57: Name another Jake fan blog that is obsessed with that trashy family besides here, WDW and DC?
Now I visit only OMG and WFT2, but before the fauxmance ALL Jake sites and blogs discussed Jake's family.
12:08 there is no new info posted here that can't be retreived from goggle alerts. Info posted here consists of google alerts, linking to other blogs, copying and pasting and rehashing old news, including non-Jake stuff.
No one rarely responds to the posts "jackie" does, ignored for the most part.
When I posted on DC people posted links to WFT/OMG and all Ted/TT related stuff all the time. I stopped posting on DC when this chatroom started up.
Posters used to link to WFT on IMDB, Perez, JJ, E, DL DC, IHJ,FCC, ONTD, etc all the time.
JW even had it linked to their blog and visa versa in the beginning.
Constantly linking to crazy papa's shitty blog and that batshit crazy cunty, I don't see it on any other Jake blog.
So what? What other blogs have to do with WFT2?
Constantly linking to crazy papa's shitty blog and that batshit crazy cunty, I don't see it on any other Jake blog.
Agreed. I mean I don't get why someone cares about the Gyllenhaal dad and his crazy looking assistant?
I stopped posting on DC when this chatroom started up.
Could you please explain that "chatroom" thing - what does that mean and why is that a bad thing?
12:16: After babygate which happened in 10/06, sites like IHJ and JW stopped talking abbout them, maybe Maggie and Peter but not the trashy parents, who showed their asses to jake fans, they were turned off.
10/06: This was before Reeke, their disgust and their lack of interest wasn't because of Reeke, it was becasue of the shitty way they treated Jake's fans, humilating them and cursing at them in a public place.
Karma is a bitch.
12:21: There is a lot of back and forth and quick responses to comments like a chatroom unlike other blogs. It's like a clique sits around and wait to respond to each other and they are familiar with each other.
Nothing wrong with it just wondering why a chatroom link isn't set up here, it would make more sense and live this space to respond to the post if they choose to or even set up a forum to discuss related topics but that would mean registration and i think that 'jackie" wouldn't like that.
Jake Watch closed down when the fauxmance officialy started - last JW post is from November 02, 2007.
"Can you give us a few examples of banned subjects for other actors?"
I don't want to start a discussion about other actors. What's great is that we have this little place to discuss everything Jake.
There is a lot of back and forth and quick responses to comments like a chatroom unlike other blogs.
It's like CDAN or Dlisted blogs.
I love this blog comments format because I want ONE place where I can check what's up.
I don't want to start a discussion about other actors.
I was just curious.
I love this blog comments format because I want ONE place where I can check what's up.
P.S. That was the reason I got hooked up on the original WFT - all important Jake and Austin info was posted, in chronological order, and I would need only few minutes to check it out.
Jackie I have got to say that lego toy is the silliest thing I have ever seen. $150,000,000 for promoting PoP. Wow that is amazing.
Surely they're not planning on spending $150m on promoting PoP. Yikes, that means if it cost around$150m to make, its got to make at least $600m at the box office to even break even. No wonder poor Jakey's feeling the pressure, and is being pressured to continue the bearding.
Maybe the stick on abs and leather loin cloth combo will draw the crowds, I'm just not so sure. (plus the fact that people may already have got their fill of that type of thing with Clash of the Titans which comes out in March).
For a $150m movie $50m sounds like a minimum marketing budget.
12:26 The owners of that blog was this close to closing down JW right after babygate. They held off because Zodiac was coming out. The decision to close it down was made in june 2007, they decided to do it after Rendition came out which would be 10/07,it closed in 2007. They e-mailed several posters including me, this was before Rome. They long became bored, Britpop was never really a Jake fan, just thought that it was funny that so many people took interest in Jake walking around doing nothing basically. Prophecy girl came aboard later, towards the end Britpop turned the blog over to her like Wicked turned over her blog to SK.
P.girl was one of the fans that jake's parent's trashed.
Cunty had more to do with with the closing of JW and the disgust posters there and IHJ had towards his parents.
Britpop was never really a Jake fan
Fan blog about an actor without being a fan? I don't get it.
Ally from IHJ has long left the Jake fandom after babygate, she was there. She turned the site over to stephanie. Ally is still named on the site as the owner, owner in name only. She posted a few times since and one of the post was that she thought that Jake and Resse are a cute couple, so her leaving the fandom had nothing to do with them but Jake's tacky parents.
Sorry, I'm not buying JW ladies and Ally "leaving the fandom because of Jake parents" excuse for a second.
They didn't become Jake fans because of Jake's parents, and they certainly didn't leave the fandom because of Stephen and Naomi.
1:48: I didn't think you would get it. Britpop got the idea for JW from the now defunct blog the Gilded Moose. That site made fun of fans obsession with actors and paps following around actors buying coffee , etc. Jake at the time was a prime target, Gilded Moose used have captions under Jake pics like: breaking news: Jake walks across the street drinking coffee and talking on his cell phone! She decided to focus just on Jake for and JW was born. She always stated that she wasn't a Jake fangirl, but that he was a muse that she was using because she was interested in writing, she had another blog also. She never intended the blog to go beyond a year, JW and WFT had each others links on their blogs, everything in Jakeland was fine until Cunty discovered JW in May of 2006 because JW did a post on Stephen because he was writing poetry.
IMO Cunty took advantage of them because she knew that they had a interest in writing and she was a literary agent. She even got them to start a fan blog for papa until babygate, then they deleted the blog.
Cunty used them and IHJ to sell papa'a shitty poetry and then he turns around and treets them like shit at his poetry reading, a reading that Cunty urged them to attend. All because she blurted out the name of Maggie's baby to them and they posted it.
He trashed all Jake fan sites except his crappy official site. That's why I find it amusing that there is such interestin the nut here.
To clarify about the ISP addresses. I wrote that I changed mine several times a day. Not to "fool" sites but because I'm on a dynamic ISP cycle i.e. the number changes every time I log off or get logged off (disconnected) from my ISP. Since I'm in a sensitive area I get disconnected more than I like (grrrr). Also, another thing is some people use proxies so going by ISP numbers isn't reliable. Also I have at least 3 firewalls and have completely blocked Sitemeter and Google Analytics and all trackers.. If someone thinks they know me, well they got someone else. LOL. It's just basic security, not trying to fool sites so I can make 3 remarks instead of 1, whoopee (sarcasm).
1:59 Yes they did, you weren't there, they were. Ally left the fandom in April 2007, before Rome and after babygate, you do the math. She posted that although she still supported Jake and wished him well, she was over him, tired of looking at pics of him going to the doctor, getting coffee, this was w/o Reese I should add. She said she had other things in her life, including school. In other words she grew up and moved on as did a lot of other Jake fans on IHJ. The JW fans were older as on here,DC, WDW, GB and OMG who are interested mostly in Jake's personal life.
Signs of Jake's eroding popularity was noticed on boards like IMDB in early 2007 when there was little interest in Zodiac, it happens to all actors, not just Jake.
You may not buy that Jake's parent's turned off a good chunk of fans back then because it's all about Reeke, but the truth is when his tacky parents trashed the fans and sites they mentioned Jake's name in the rant as being disgusted with all of the sites and the intrusion , prolly wasn't true, but when that sort of bile is being spewed on behalf of not only Jake but Maggie, yeah that is a major turn-off.
Cantara is a small part of the Jake Gyllenhaal story.
Since we post and discuss tweets and blog posts who only mention Jake, it makes sense to post and discuss Cantara and her Gyllenhaals "memoirs".
Cantara's opinion about this blog is perfectly irrelevant.
They didn't become Jake fans because of Jake's parents
They didn't want to hump Stephen and Naomi?!
You may not buy that Jake's parent's turned off a good chunk of fans...
Fans don't care about Jake's parents - they care about Jake, his actions and movies.

Serious tabloid reeking stared in early 2007, too.
Exactly 2:15. Even if S&N were total assholes if Jake was a total sex symbol the people at IHJ would still be his fans. But IMO the ones who believe he's straight either were flattened that he hooked up with someone or disappointed that he hooked up with bitchface Reese. The fans at IHJ who believe he's gay were disgusted that he's bearding. There's probably about 5 fans left there who are happy he's with Reese.
Jake sure screwed himself didn't he, shoving aside longterm, loyal fans. Bearding (or getting with Reese if someone is a JiS believer) is the absolute worst he could have done, outside of being caught having sex with an 8 year old boy. Now all the fans he'll get from POP is screaming girl teenyboppers who'll drop him as soon as the next new actor appears. Jake is in the shits now and the only one who doesn't know it is him.
I know.
Took you long enough.
Bearding (or getting with Reese if someone is a JiS believer) is the absolute worst he could have done,
Exactly. Since J/R started I feared that his career will become secundary to "Gyllenspoon" and it happened. Add to that some unfortunate career choices and here we are. I honestly wish him good luck with his career, but he needs to dump Witherspoon. She didn't bring him luck at all. But it's him who must realize it.
IMO if Jake wanted to come off as straight but still be "available" to fans, he should have gone out with a variety of models, starlets, professional women, real girls, all while also being seen with his guy friends (dates?). He didn't have to go the pussy-whipped bf almost-stepfather route with the most repulsive bitchface actress in HW. What a fucking moron.

But they would expect sex!
Jake's original fans grew older and moved on, something jake and his handlers are well aware of. He and they could give two shits about Brokies, IHJ/GB/WDW fangirls since this group didn't come out to see Zodiac and Rendition. In their opinion hardcore fans would see an actor in anything, the Brokies only care about BBM and the young fangirls realized that he has bad genes and isn't aging well and he ain't cute anymore, time for new fans.
Readers who followed JakeWatch and the original WFT know why the blogs closed since the owners shared their feelings. Those who came after they were gone don't give a hoot about why they left. Jake's career is really in the tank when all someone can find to talk about are blogs gone over 2 years.
I don't think Jake is a stranger to hetero sex. I think he's bi.
But they would expect sex
Jake, you could be "the perfect gentleman" and also say that you want to get to know them first. But only go out with them 2 or 3 times...LOL
Granted, when the stories get compiled and someone like Enty or Ted adds them all up and announces that there's no sex with Jake and women, people would get suspect, but still. Or maybe it wouldn't get out, because the columnists would respect you for not bearding.
Jake is gay.
2:50 #1, why are YOU here? Sounds like all you like to do is insult Jake and his current and former fans.
2:50 PM - as if Brokies would care that he doesn't care about them. It's the movie and the characters that are of interest, not always the actors.
IMO Jake is 85% gay, 15% straight. Most of the straightness is in the past, in his younger days... and none of it includes Reese.
8:52, I definitely agree about Nick. The actor isn't very good (I think he comes from a Broadway background and is more suited for the stage) and I don't find him attractive, so he does nothing for me. I don't feel much chemistry between him and Kyle either. I'm hoping Nick will be gone soon since the actor is supposed to be filming a movie this month...
It kills me though that now that Fish is finally out, Kyle has decided there is no chance for them to be together! I was just watching the kiss clip which wasn't that long ago and he was definitely still into Fish. But that's a soap for you. At least they are being treated like any other couple... lots of drama. ;) There's also rumors there might be an actual love scene. So far OLTL isn't shying away from them being physical (unlike ATWT) so fingers crossed.
I thought that one of the reasons this blog exisists is to insult Jake?
What fans?
Does anyone know what soap character or storyline James Franco will be in?
Jake's original fans grew older and moved on, something jake and his handlers are well aware of. He and they could give two shits about Brokies, IHJ/GB/WDW fangirls
Bullshit.
Jake is a product and his handlers are selling him - to producers, movie studios, directors and public.
Losing fans is a sign that their product isn't in demand = he will make less money = they will make less money. Jake's handlers do care.
Heh I have a feeling we'll be more into discussing Franco's soap character than POP.
Does anyone know what soap character or storyline James Franco will be in?
James, who juggles his studies at Columbia University with a thriving career in film, will play a mystery person who arrives in town. James will make his daytime debut just in time for November sweeps on Nov. 20 — the recurring role is expected to last approximately two months.
Wasn't that older woman in the horrid short blue plaid dress with them at Coachella Jake's PR person? I hate to say it but going by her fashion sense, she seems pretty much out of it when it comes to current trends. I can't believe someone with her figure and at her age thought that dress looked good, LOL. And if she's running his PR image, egads.

Wrong, but we do enjoy trashing babblers and trolls.
"Heh I have a feeling we'll be more into discussing Franco's soap character than POP."
I don't watch soaps.
You'll watch mine!
There is always YouTube.
Jake's career is bullshit and so are what's left of his fans who know that he is ovah..
"Fans" Pretending to be still interested in the big muppethead, no neck, goggly-eyed, eddie munster eyebrows, bad posture,monkey-man and pigeon-toe doofus is pretty funny
3:09 But that's the way you dress and you are twice her age and twice her size!
WTF?!?
"There is always YouTube."
I'll pass.
3:13 #2, why are you here?
Wrong, 3:14.
3:13 #2 and 3:14 = trolls
3:13 #2 and 3:14 = trolls and Reese lovers
When you finish brushing those pringles off your ample lap, get out and get a LIFE.
3:13: LOL!!!
Franco's soap
Can't wait!
I heard JW closed because they thought they'd get a chance to interview Jake, and then when it didn't happen during Zodiac promotion, they didn't want to wait around a couple of years until his next film, and didn't think there would be much to write about him. I'm sure all the stuff with Cantera and his parents didn't help either, plus they pissed off some posters by first ignoring Austin, then writing a couple of nasty posts about him. Even back then you could see the JIS crew trying to keep JW in line.
I think PR thought they would create a new "mature" Jake, one who still continued to be interested in family--but then they ditched his family, and only Reese's mattered. Plus I think they thought making Jake an "every guy" suburban step-dad would appeal to women. Boy were they wrong!
In other words, they thought they would bring in the older, less fickle fans and lose the flighty fangirls.
3:02, James character is supposed to mix it up with nearly everyone in the cast but he will torment Steve Burton's character Jason (JF and SB share a manager) and no doubt mix it up with SB's love interest, Sam, played by Kelly Monaco. I've heard lots of rumors that he's playing someone named "Darius Caine" to "Vlad Cassadine"--who's a member of the notorious Cassadine family that has been at war with the Spencer family forever. An actress on the show tweeted the other day that she saw them building the set for JF and she said it's quite elaborate!
Plus I think they thought making Jake an "every guy" suburban step-dad would appeal to women.
I think they simply didn't think. They thought bearding will help Rendition and Jake will profit from bearding with a popular celebrity.
"Suburban step-dad" image is what Reese needs for her "better of after divorce and everyone lives just to support Reese Witherspoon" public image bullshit.
I think Jake thought at first dating a fresh Oscar winner who is also a B.O. queen would be a cool thing. And she dating an up and coming hunk would be a great revenege to her ex. I think from the very beginning it was more about image than anything else. Now them being together is more out of convenience I think.
I still think Jake had a fling with Austin pre Reese, IDK if they are still friends. Last time we've seen them biking together is months ago.
I think Jake thought at first dating a fresh Oscar winner who is also a B.O. queen would be a cool thing.
Jake didn't look amused with pending showmance during Rendition promotion in Toronto and Rome, it wasn't something he was looking forward to.
I think he was in a better mood in Toronto. In Rome it was already clear that the movie would mostly get bad reviews. After Zodiac it would be his second b.o. flop in a row. He probably was not amused.
I'm talking about Jake's behaviour around the beard - like he didn't want to be there.
Bottom Line: Whether bearding or dating, I think Jake's pathetic.
Someone like James Franco is someone to respect (though not everyone will like him). I wish Jake would have chosen a similar path after BBM that James chose. But no. :(
