G.I. Joe is like watching fireworks with a blindfold on: it's deafening and you feel under attack. The story makes no sense — why does the Eiffel Tower topple over after being covered in sparkling slime? And worst of all: Sienna Miller and Channing Tatum, a charismatic guy whom The New York Times once compared to Marlon Brando, have the chemistry of two ice cubes. As my mind wandered, I started to imagine ways for the director to have reinvented the franchise for the 21st century. What if the G in G.I. Joe didn't just stand for "government"? What if it also stood for "gay"?
To many G.I. Joe fans, who grew up collecting the action figures, this might be blasphemy. Who cares? The best summer action movies — The Bourne Identity, The Dark Knight — always come with tortured heroes who carry around deep secrets. Imagine the dramatic possibilities! For starters, we could ditch Sienna Miller, which would be a big improvement right from the start. Duke's (Tatum) new love interest would be a male soldier. The movie would even strike a note of social relevance, given that our troops still adhere to "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" (i.e., Duke couldn't blab about his love life to any of his friends).
Hollywood likes to cast gay characters in supporting roles, as background scenery, but they still don't anchor movies that often. You can understand the cold feet: the movie business is about selling tickets to teenage boys, and even Brüno tanked. This week, there was a storm of protest online when Robert Downey Jr. suggested his onscreen Sherlock Holmes — scheduled to hit theater screens on Christmas — might have had a gay fling with Watson (Jude Law). Gawker described the "full blown gay panic" from conservative film critic Michael Medved. "Who is going to watch Downey Jr. and Law make out?" he asked. "I don't think it would be appealing to women. Straight men don't want to see it."
Medved's off base — the Sherlock Holmes screenplay doesn't even feature a male kiss, and action heroes have been a little gay since the beginning of the genre. Look at Superman's revealing red tights. Or Batman's "friendship" with Robin. James Bond is such a good dresser, he might as well be gay (at one point, Rupert Everett even wanted to star as a gay James Bond). So maybe it's just a matter of time before we see our first openly gay action hero. At 2 a.m., I'd wasted enough of my time on G.I. Joe. But before I fled, I wanted to check in on an elderly woman who had come to see the movie alone. She looked shellshocked in the lobby, but it turned out that she was only crying tears of joy. Apparently, she couldn't wait for the sequel.
I started to back away, but it was so late that I didn't think it would hurt if I sprang my idea on her. What if, in the next movie, G.I. Joe were gay? Would she still buy a ticket? Her face lit up. "Absolutely!" she said. "Just because you're gay doesn't mean you're not powerful."

«Oldest ‹Older 1801 – 2000 of 2143 Newer› Newest»For her part, Williams has a complex relationship with the business of appearances. On the one hand, she has a real interest in, and eye for, proportions and tweaks and ironic, downbeat, classic lines. She wears dresses and clogs from No. 6, owns one pair of high heels (Louboutins), buys her button-downs at Brooks Brothers, and really doesn't follow what designers are up to. "I've learned that I look better with less," she says. "Jewelry doesn't suit me." It all works: As Ryan Gosling puts it, "She makes a real impact. Clint Eastwood meets Brigitte Bardot." When Hugh Jackman watched the dailies of her long scene with Ewan McGregor in Deception, he was struck by "the beauty. She was stunning, like a painting. She has a beguiling quality."
On the other hand, Williams has a history of resisting expectations generated by her beguilingness. "I was sixteen when I started Dawson's Creek, and our identities—mine and my character's—got a bit confused. She was sexy and pretty, but there was something bad about it. I had some idea in my head that beauty was a minor quality, that beauty wasn't as worthwhile. So I never wanted to play those parts; I wanted to play the opposite."
The role that she now plays with extraordinary style and care is that of a young single parent. She is no longer with director Spike Jonze: "The timing was impossible. I thought falling in love again was the only thing that was going to save me from the pain. This erroneous idea: It just makes things more complicated." And dating with a kid? "I obviously don't know how to do it." But she's not complaining. "I'm falling more and more in love with her," she says of Matilda, "and I think she deserves the bulk of my attention. We're lucky. I can work. She can go to a good school. There's a lot there for her. And she can know her dad in so many ways, and so many of his friends who will be able to tell her so many stories. His friends, his family—they were a big part of his life, and they will be a big part of her life."
We are sitting on her porch watching sunflowers open to the sky. "I feel hopeful and grateful. For a while I thought we had lost everything. It makes you want to love better and live better and treat people better." And she adds, "There is a great Gloria Steinem quote—and I'm paraphrasing—'Become the man you want to marry.' I've taken that on. What qualities do I find attractive, and can I find them in myself? What am I missing? Can I be that for myself?" I'm betting she can.

Michelle and Spike are no longer together! :(
She is no longer with director Spike Jonze: "The timing was impossible. I thought falling in love again was the only thing that was going to save me from the pain. This erroneous idea: It just makes things more complicated."
Got to love her.
Wow--good for her. I was wondering what happened to pics of them together.
At her local coffee shop, a little girl asked Williams, "What's her name?" "Matilda." The girl said to Matilda, entirely innocently, "What's it like being famous? Are you so sad that your daddy died like Michael Jackson?" "That girl was six," Williams says without rancor. Afterward, mother and child had a discussion about third-party attention. "It's because people really loved your daddy that they want to take your picture, to know you're all right" is what she tells Matilda.
:'|
I've read the entire interview (big Yawn) and I think she is a major twat. It is so obvious how she is so aware of herself, always trying to state a determined and calculated way to look,think,performe and talk. I don't see any spontaneous or honest thing about her
I still can't figure out, where is it said that Heath dumped her and their daughter, though.
Great interview, Michelle is awesome :)
6:40 PM
Michelle says "I just didn't want to be at home. Geography is a great solution for heartbreak."
Why was Michelle heartbroken if SHE was the one who left Heath? You’ll say she did it because he was using drugs. By the way she talks she was still in love with him when they broke up so if he was such an helpless addict why did she leave him, the father of her child, and then go for sole custody instead of helping him get his shit together? Do you LEAVE the people you love and let them wither away? That she left Heath but was so hearbroken makes no sense whatsoever but believe what you will.
I still can't figure out, where is it said that Heath dumped her and their daughter, though.
Well, her whining in Elle how he broke her heart, Gilliam's words and that losing her partner was something she did not want, lead me to believe it was him who did the dumping. But everyone can believe what he/she wants.
OT: "mutual hand job" = watching each other jerk off or jerking each other off? (never understood what "mutual" means in those situations, sorry)
Why was Michelle heartbroken if SHE was the one who left Heath?
DUH! It was rumored she forced herself to leave him because of his drug use. She though he would think about it and get some help, instead of that, he found himself a teenager super-model and went on vacation with her.
Everybody thought taht,maybe, H & M would be back together some day. I guess now we'll never know
And dating with a kid? "I obviously don't know how to do it.""
Michelle obviously needs some pointers from Reese on how to dump your kids indefinitely with a retinue of nannies while she spends all of her time with her gay bf.

LOL and IA. ;)
OT: "mutual hand job" = watching each other jerk off or jerking each other off?
Jerking each other off. BTW, that's ON topic :)
Michelle Williams these days divides her time between her house in Brooklyn and a house in upstate New York. The location of the latter property is a secret
Now we (don't) know where they are when we miss them :)
She though he would think about it and get some help, instead of that, he found himself a teenager super-model and went on vacation with her.
Although I disagree with your post, I had to laugh about this part. :)
Why was Michelle heartbroken if SHE was the one who left Heath?"
You guys really are stupid (or have never been in a relationship) if you think that only the people who get dumped so to speak hurt instead of those who end a relationship! It's NOT easy to end a relationship, particularly if you LOVE the other person but can't live with him anymore or can't tolerate certain things that will never change.
DUH! It was rumored she forced herself to leave him because of his drug use. She though he would think about it and get some help,
LOL, so you're saying she couldn’t bother helping him out with his oh so massive drug use, deat waiting to happen. She’s heartless then. If he was SUCH a drug addict and she knew it, she left him to die instead of helping him.
6:35 It did happen on the DC forum when I posed there backin 2006. All kinds of nasty remarks about Heath "flaunting" Michelle and the fact that she was pregnant, suspicious why he hooked up with her so quick. The Jake threads in the beginning were massive, Heath a distant second.
^^To me Heath looked mostly miserable with Michelle. Compare pics with him and M. with pics of him and Naomi. You'll see the difference. And I don't think Terry Gilliam pulled what he said about their relationship out of his ass. But I guess, we'll have to agree to disagree on the H/M issue.
7:06 PM, give me a fucking break. When I love someone I stick by them, don’t turn my back on them because they have an issue. Especially when there’s a kid in the middle.
Some people REALLY want to believe Michelle left nasty druggie Heath. Maybe it makes them feel better. Reality isn’t important. Let be.
patrickbrannan: NFL kickoff, Gyllenhall encounter, and next up the G20. I'm enjoying Pittsburgh in September. [10 hours ago]
Huh? So I looked further..

So, Jake is in Pittsburgh.
^^I wonder if Anne is back in Pittsburgh as well?
It's NOT easy to end a relationship, particularly if you LOVE the other person but can't live with him anymore or can't tolerate certain things that will never change.
You talk like they were in a ten year relationship or something and Michelle’d been trying to help Heath for years. They'd been together barely for three years when they broke up, and they have a daughter. That's worth fighting, especially when you're still in love with your partner. I feel sorry for your significant other if you feel this way, truly.
^fighting for

Oh!
For all of you who keep insisting Heath had been a big, well known drug addict for years:
"Brokeback Mountain was an unrepeatable moment in time, a very charmed time in my life. I was in love; I was in a movie I was proud to be a part of, and with a beautiful brand-new baby. Everything was good in that moment."
Is Michelle a liar or did Heath manage to hide his drug use for TWO WHOLE YEARS from the woman he LIVED with? He must've had super powers.
Aren't tickets to the Tennis Open (like most tourneys) based on the game phase? IIRC the Open was delayed 1-2 days because of rain. It's possible that Reeke was planning a US Open photo op at the Men's Finals but the Chin had to go back to Philly Sunday night.
If they were planning it you gotta wonder if it was so Jake could go and gawk at the men while being "safe" with the beard. And if it was meant to be with M&P or any combo of them if there were only 3 seats.
Even Mother Nature is against the Reeking!
Is Michelle a liar or did Heath manage to hide his drug use for TWO WHOLE YEARS from the woman he LIVED with? He must've had super powers.
Agreed! ;)
I just caught up.
I liked the MW interview. I think she loved Heath and it doesn't matter how they broke up. He's the father of her child and look what her daughter has to deal with. I don't know what she is really like but her love for kid shines through. Her kid looks happy and healthy and I hope it's true.
Heath did drugs. He said he did. What he did and how much, we won't know. I do know that someone who quits everything usually has/had issues. It doesn't matter now. He's dead.
The same people say the same thing over and over again. It is boring. Just let it be. Maybe if people stop with their constant focus on something we will never know Matilda won't have little kids asking her those questions.
About boring. Isn't this supposed to be about Jake? Trash him, praise him, whatever...but could we stay more on topic?
We'll always have Brokeback Mountain!

Go on! No one's stopping you to talk about Jake. :)
Heads up! There are more pics from the tennis match on IHJ.
Jake with a toothpick:
Jake
Does anyone else think it's an annoying habit?
"Heads up" ?! Those pics have been there for at least 5 hours.
I LOVE the toothpick. It's an endearing habit. Very oral. ;*
Very oral
Indeed. LOL.
Besides all the other signs, the toothpick played a major part in seeing how Rome 2007 pics was bearding. A couple supposedly in love walking around romantic Rome and the guy has a toothpick in his mouth?! Another preventative measure by Jake so the beard wouldn't try to kiss him. And Ent Lawyer said Reese wouldn't allow a real bf to have a toothpick hanging out of his mouth while being seen with her in public.
^^There are a few guys who have this annyoing habit and Jake does it even when he's not with Reese. I think, he thinks he looks cool with it.
Michelle was the rebound who was foolish enough to believe she was the real deal. And to get pregnant after only knowing Heath for six months was one of the dumbest things ever (especially since anyone with eyes could see that Heath could stick in a relationship for only a couple of years). I believe Heath checked out of that relationship emotionally in 2006, but he tried to stick it out for Matilda. I also believed he engaged in some passisve-aggressive behavior (staying out, partying, some recreational drug use) both as a way to deal with the trying to stay put and numb his own disappointment.
I also believe that Michelle asked for the physical separation because she couldn't deal with the stress of the collaspsing relationship although she foolishly hoped the move would somehow "shock" Heath into coming back to her. When that didn't work, she got bitter and tried to hurt Heath by demanding money she didn't deserve and restricting access to Matilda. During Heath's final vacation, Heath was complaining about missing Matilda, not Michelle. Heath had moved on from Michelle.
I feel sorry for Michelle's hurt, but I do get tired of people acting like she's some kind of grieving widow or the victum of the fairytale gone wrong. I also think she suffers from some guilt because she knows she contributed majorly to Heath's stress in those final months because of the games she played with Matilda.
I love having wood in my mouth!
And to get pregnant after only knowing Heath for six months was one of the dumbest things ever
Duh!
Jake said...

LOL.
Everytime I see him I always think about what my old roommate calls him. Jakey Gyllenjangle.
I don't know whether to laugh or feel sorry for Jake and the ONTDer who did the "Jake at US Open" post. It was taken over by spammers saying a post about the guy who won the Open is more important than Jake so they posted a million pics and comments about the Open winner guy.
cerjan: @ the grove and just saw the gay Jake Gylenhall walk by, so naturally I assumed it was Jake Gylenhall.

Gay clap
I almost thought Jake was wearing an engagement ring in this pic LOL
Gay clap
LOL the 3 versions from right to left. Peter's all He-man, the other guy (what's his name again?) is masculine and stoic.. and then there's Jakey with a tinkerbelle smile and soft wrists clapping high and dainty.
Gay clap pic
^^^I'm wondering if Jake was high. Sure looks like it from that pic when you compare his expression to everyone else's.
Looks like someone was talking to himself again much of the day.
Good point 12:05. Jake does get flirty around men.
comment on tennis pics on IHJ: "Jake sure downs the beverages. He must spend a lot of time running to the men's room."
^^ heh
He must spend a lot of time running to the men's room.

Another Reeke Brooklyn sighting, but no pics. Reeke, Peter, Maggie and Ramona. Seems Chin's kids weren't in Brooklyn with her.
sighting
^^^ No reason to expect them there, LA is far away.
It's possible that Reeke was planning a US Open photo op at the Men's Finals
The beard must be pissed off! lol
From a US Open news story: Rain canceled all of Friday's tennis and all the events were moved back a day. The women's final is scheduled for Sunday night and the men's final is scheduled for Monday.
So yeah looks like Reeking might of been planned for the Men's final. Mother Nature took care of that!
Whats funny is for PR they went to Brooklyn instead and got 2 cell pics and a lot of twitters. BFD.
^^There are twitter sightings of Jake even w/o Reese. I don't get, if they planned a photo op at the US Open and it was canceled, why didn't Reeke go to Manhatted and arrange a nice op there if they wanted to be seen with eath other? Those twitters only a few obsessed fans follow.
^^Manhatten
I bet Reese was happy about the opportunity to be seen with M and P, even though she couldn't get an arranged paparazzi photo op. And there is always a chance to get pictures, even from Brooklyn!
What's really funny is how we hardly, if never, saw Reese doing all the Reeking-style activities pre-Reeke. Lakers, Men's tennis, running, biking (that 1 time - she must've hated it lol), dog walking, coffee, etc. All those were Jake's domains long before the bearding started. More proof that the beard doesn't have many, if any, friends and has to borrow from Jake's itinerary for ideas on Reeking activities because she has none of her own. The only activities she has are mental and can't be photo-opped: conniving, revenge, mindgames and PR plotting.
^^Yes there was a chance paparazzi could have gotten wind she was there, but it wasn't 100% sure it would happen. She still went there.
6:24 AM - my theory is she's a Gyllenhaal family ass kisser (she even wore a Columbia uni bag, lol). IMO she doesn't want to lose that thing (whatever that is) she has with Jake.
About NYC/Manhattan: Fashion Week was going on and most paps were covering it. IIRC Maggie had already gone to an event and was photo-opped. I don't know anything about the FW events but maybe Maggie had had her fill already and it could be that it would've been too late to get into events? I'm sure if they wanted to some strings could be pulled but maybe they (J, M&P) weren't into it and Reese got out-voted.
Next on the "I approve this bearding message" Reeke list: Papa G.
Nooooooooooo. Years of therapy turned him into an honest man. The last thing we need is him to write a heart-felt poem about the evils of greed and bearding to screw up our plans. Fuck!
I need to get this over with: It's been a difficult summer, as my partner, Jon Powell, and I have been separated for much of it. We have recently agreed to end our union, which was just more than a year old.
Ted Casablanca
:(
6:24 AM - my theory is she's a Gyllenhaal family ass kisser
Nah, Reese is just using Gyllenhaal family for PR.
Reese's family can't be used for PR, and "the beard doesn't have many, if any, friends and has to borrow from Jake's itinerary for ideas on Reeking activities because she has none of her own".
LOL that's gonna end up being a generous divorce on Ted's part considering how many BV's and gossip Jon must know.
Reeking activities
That's right, she's even borrowed the "Jake walking and shopping with family at flea markets" and the "Jake walking on sidewalk with friends" (Matt Frost and others in Venice) strategies. When in hell have we EVER seen her doing these things with her own friends?! She even has to borrow his family and friends for Reeking. What a loser.
Reese can't use her rapist brother and drunk father for PR. She drags the mom out occationaly to prove she actually has relatives. She needs Jake. So much.
And the poor kids have no choice. LOL
Is her father a drunk?
I heard about the brother being convicted for being a peeping tom and intoxicated, not rape.
I need to get this over with: It's been a difficult summer, as my partner, Jon Powell, and I have been separated for much of it. We have recently agreed to end our union, which was just more than a year old.
This is not what I wanted. But I accept it. These are painful, horribly strange words for me to write, but I need to move on, and this is the best way for me to do it. It's now out there, something I dreaded stating.
When I mentioned months ago that I'd started smoking again...
...this was the reason why.
Ted's relationship was real. Real is difficult, it's raw open emotions and compromise, 24/7. Reeke is fake and easy. It's scheduled photo ops, no emotional investment and they act off of a script.
It's like dog years: One week of a real relationship equals 2 years of a Reeke fake relationship. Reeke will never surpass Ted's genuine effort.
John Draper Witherspoon, 29, the brother of "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Legally Blonde" star Reese Witherspoon, was arrested in Nashville, Tenn., Saturday facing charges of aggravated burglary and sexual battery, TheSmokingGun.com reports.
Witherspoon was brought to night court at around 1:40 a.m. Saturday morning. The unnamed accuser, a young woman, says she had fallen asleep on her living room sofa with her front door unlocked when Witherspoon, her new neighbor, entered her house.
"I woke up with him kissing my face and my neck, and I was wearing overalls at the time, and he unlatched one side of the overalls, had his hand down my underwear and was trying to get my pants off when I woke up," the alleged victim said, according to Nashville'sWKRN-TV News
Trust a Nashville native, the apple didn't fall far from the tree.
Reeke = contract, not relationship.
9:42 AM
"Great" Witherspoon family! lol
LOL Those Southern families and their inbreeding.
Even partnerships need a lot of determination from both parts to make it work. Reeke might not be the biggest love story ever existed in the world but, after all this long time,you have to admit they really succeed in whatever bullshit they have going on.
It's working for TomKat and it's working for Reeke! Maybe real couples should ask for advice from the fake ones! ;)

That's why I drink so much coffee to stay the hell awake when I'm with the beard.

LOL, Reese is still a romcom loser and Jake's fame is fading every day.
^^^ Jake, don't forget to keep a baseball bat near you!
Maybe that's what the beard's recent bruises and black eyes are from!
Next time Jake, beat the shit out of your "attacker" okay?

What do you mean, succeed in what? Not breaking the fauxmance contract?
"chinttacker"
Reese and Jake are the perfect fake couple. He can't be seen with a man at events and doing everyday stuff so he needs a female escort to front for him. She's undatable, obnoxious, and she's the kind that has to be with a man but no one wants her, so she needs a male to be seen with. Too bad they're trying to sell a romance. If it had just been awards dates and coffee once a month it might have worked. But with the sex angle they try to pull off it really looks like a crappy bearding.

Just browsing!
Maybe he figures in a glasses store he can get away with staring and blame it on his bad vision.
Jake's father is having a nervous breakdoen online, I hope Jake notices.
Why would he stop by a glasses store to say hi?!! He must be bored as hell in PIT. So bored that bearding in NY for 2 days sounded good!

Tylenol is a North American brand of drugs for relieving pain, reducing fever, and relieving the symptoms of allergies, cold, cough, and flu.
What's the Gyllenhaal brand used for?!
Gyllenhaal brand is for sex, charisma, good looks, talent and charm. Reeke brand is its antidote.

Following a Monday night screening of Tom Ford's A Single Man at the Toronto Film Festival, the picture was picked up by Bob and Harvey Weinstein:
"Deal was made after an all-night negotiating session between distributors and Ford's CAA agents following a Monday evening premiere here heavily attended by indie distribs. At the fete, there was hope in the air that "Single" might break the dealmaking logjam and prod distributors to begin locking in distribution deals for a slew of available films with strong casts that are unspooling at the fest. There had been no major showdown over a pic until Ford's debut arrived Monday...
'Though I've gone through this with my collections in the past, this is so much more personal, and much more a reflection of my soul,' said fashion designer-turned-director Ford, who optioned the novel three years ago and shot the film in just 21 days. 'I have always admired Harvey's great passion for film,' Ford said. 'Harvey and I have talked about a collaboration for years, in fact, since our first meeting more than 10 years ago.'"
The trailer, if you missed it, is here.

That was quick :)
I'm so glad this movie is a success.

Jake just looks silly (in some pictures) to me :)

Maybe!
3:45 I was wondering the same thing if he was high. Maybe a little coke or amps? Eh, so what if it's for fun. Just hope it isn't a problem. I just hope drugs aren't the things that's giving him the glow when he's around men/Austin, that we think it's something special when what it is, is added substances. But if that were the case why wouldn't he be doing them with the beard? Answer? --->Maybe he doesn't want to get *turned on* with the beard and end up having sex with her (drugs will do that).
Drugs can't turn you straight, drugs don't change your sexuality.
also saw Hank Azaria (he's in LAOD too, right?)
Hank Azaria plays an unscrupulous doctor and client of Jamie's (Jake).
Drugs don't change your sexuality but they can make you do things you normally wouldn't do. That's a fact.
Depends on drug. Anyway, we can't use drugs as "everything is possible" argument :)
Heath was gaining weight during the BBM's award season, when he was with Michelle. Someone said he didn't look like Ennis anymore. He wasn't taking anything. Michelle was a positive influence.
Love is the best drug.
Michelle was a positive influence.
You mean Matilda was.
During that time Heath looked very much in love with Michelle.
4:27 PM, Heath was lanky all his life. He gained some weight around the time Matilda was born and kept it for about a year then he went back to his normal frame. It doesn’t mean anything.
Awwww, some people are so hopeless romantic! :)
Heath's weight had nothing to do with Michelle and neither Matilda :D
I don't remember him being fatter during BBM promotion but , if some of you say so...
Just keep im mind that COCAINE is a major cause of weight gaining and puffiness, MUCH MORE THAN LOVE,I ASSURE YOU!
But models use coke to stay slim!
Us Weekly's tabloid spread about other rags fake stories:

Unfuckingbelievable!
Dear Ted:
Really? Sophia Bush a bitch? How so? She seems like one of the last nice girls left in Hollywood.

Dear Gullible:
And I suppose you think Reese Witherspoon is a perf peach, too?
Dear Ted:
I actually found you while I was looking up some info on Jared Padalecki. I've been a fan of Supernatural since the show first started. Two questions: First, what is your definition of a beard (just wanted to make sure I understand that correctly)? And second, what do you think of Jensen Ackles and Daneel Harris' relationship? Is it real? Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Dear So Proper:
A beard is a person who knowingly enters into a romantic relationship in order to help reduce speculation into the other person's sexuality. A double-beard is when that partner is simultaneously veiling their own sexuality, as well. Hollywood, as a result, is an incredibly follicle-filled town.

Indeed, he was a lot healthier looking while promoting BBM.
4:47 thinks coke is fattening -- she must be drunk or/and a babbler.

I keep forgetting that a lot of people don't even know what's bearding.

Google it, you ignorant, before making any assumptions
One cocaine effect, appetite suppression, is very popular for people looking to lose weight or maintain a low weight. Fashion models have been known to use cocaine in order to stay thin. Cocaine users often go days without eating and if this behavior is continued it can lead to addiction.

Jake, listen to 4:47 PM and don't touch that white shit!

Not the first time Ted trashed Sophia, I can't help but wonder what dirt he has on her.
Q: I recently came across a bunch of artwork from an artist named David Kawena which featured a large portion of Disney's male heroes in underwear poses. I was immediately impressed, because unlike so much artwork that is out there that is either graphic or extremely sexual, these works were done in a tasteful way. Can you tell us anything about the actual artist, and does he have plans for more artwork in the same line? -- DisneyPrinceFan, New Hampshire
A: Does anyone else think it’s beyond ironic that I was able to track down Robert Gant, Olivia Newton-John, and Lucy fricking Lawless, but unable to get in touch with a guy who draws Disney princes in their underwear?
It’s true. It seems that David (which is a pseudonym, taken from the name of a character in Lilo & Stitch) doesn’t keep a dedicated website, and doesn’t like to reveal anything about his personal information.
“The more popular I get, the more I see it as a must to have my personal life on a low profile,” he told Disneylicious.
Still, in the same interview, he explained how his collection came about. “When I started the first drawing in this collection [of Hercules], I was just playing around with an old idea of mine, of seeing some Disney characters as 'real' but not 3D rendered. I always loved pushing the envelope with my art, especially to the point when people can no longer tell it it's a drawing or a picture … At first I thought of drawing Herc dressed up like in the film, but I felt like it still needed more change to it, a newer look and feel, so the black underwear came into the picture! Even before I finished it, I already knew that is going to be a collection!”
Will there be more artwork? “As long as there are Disney heroes left out there, the collection will not be finished! I'm saying that hoping that the Disney Studios will keep on bringing us all more new brilliant movies and heroes ... I can't wait to get to the point where I'll have Prince Naveen, from the upcoming The Princess and the Frog added to my collection!”
The question he doesn’t answer that I would have asked is: What’s been the reaction from the Disney legal department -- and is that part of the reason for the pseudonym and the low profile?
More of David Kawena's work can be found here.

"David Kawena art - For me?!" comment:
So cute!! I would LOVE to see a movie with a gay protagonist from Disney. I know the fanart would certainly be... uh. Interesting.
But yeah, love your style, and this made me go "aww C:".

Prince of Persia and Tamin - how great would that be? :)
Disney Heroes - Hercules

We should ask David if Prince of Persia is on his to do list :)
To do list? Only if David is a cutie with a big cock!
I am cute as a button and I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours!
Natalie Portman arrives at the screening for her new movie Love And Other Possible Pursuits during the 2009 Toronto International Film Festival held at Roy Thomson Hall on Wednesday (September 16) in Toronto, Canada.
The 28-year-old actress was asked if he’d still be making movies in ten year’s time, Natalie explained, “I said I do not know because I feel month-to-month I change so much… it is hard to project.”

James Franco dons Gucci on the Fall 2009 cover of VMAN, which is celebrating its 15th issue.
“James Franco does not simply appear on the cover of this issue,” said VMAN editor-in-chief Stephen Gan, “He also, through a self-portrait of sorts, brings to our readers an impressive 10-page work of art within the magazine’s pages. It’s artistic, expressive, and worth seeing—both in print and as a moving image. I always like to think of VMAN as a fashion magazine for stylish and creative men who have an artistic side—James Franco is just that.”
JJ
Nat is looking great, Franco's photo shoot looks destructive, lol.

BuddyTV is interviewing Austin tomorrow.

If you have any questions you want to ask tweet them.
JJ - usually I think Nat's overrated, but she is so well put together here and the make up is great. Great look. She still has a body like a little girl, very flat.

Does anyone know, is Natalie's movie in Toronto getting good reviews?
She still has a body like a little girl
Looking fragile and lovely :)
Screening was yesterday evening, I think it's a bit too early for "Love And Other Possible Pursuits" reviews.
"Looking fragile and lovely :)"
She never looked fragile. She has strong bones. I mean her lack of curves.

Finally!
This is our chance to ask everything we ever wanted to know about Toothy, Goose and BT, but were afraid to ask!
I mean her lack of curves.
Remember that photo with Hillary Clinton? Nat has curves :)
Anne
IMO, she's nicely built with nice curves and au naturel (no altered nose like Natalie). ;)
Anne said that she was thinking about "fixing" her nose.
Remember that photo with Hillary Clinton? Nat has curves :)
I've seen it, but I'm not convinced. We have to agree to disagree on this one. I don't find her body nice, but she has a good facial bone structure and with great make up she looks really good.
Anne said that she was thinking about "fixing" her nose.
She shouldn't. I hope she stays unaltered.
Anne has long legs and great body. Love Nat's TIFF look!
I hope she stays unaltered.
I think she will, her acting can benefit from a "face with a character", with imperfections.
Anne's maybe imperfect, but she's 10 times the actress than Natalie is and Anne's career will last longer. ;)
Look at Meryl Streep, imperfections can be good.
^^IA.
The messy complexities of modern family life provide a familiar backdrop to Love And Other Impossible Pursuits. The latest film from writer/director Don Roos (The Opposite of Sex) is sweet and sensitive but also predictable and protracted as the central heroine resolves an abundance of emotional issues resulting from a new marriage, a wary stepson, the death of her baby and her simmering anger at the way her philandering father abandoned her mother.
"Love And Other Impossible Pursuits" review
Warmly received at its Venice world premiere – there was a standing ovation for the director and cast even in the press conference – this intelligent, reflective melodrama should reap more plaudits in Toronto. Once it steps outside of the gated festival community, however, A Single Man will need to put up a commercial fight – despite the rave reviews, the Firth-Moore pairing, and the media interest surrounding Ford’s first movie foray, audiences will still need to talked into an autumnal period drama about a gay 52-year-old mourning the death of his partner and contemplating his own.
But Brokeback Mountain has already done some of the prep work for Ford, and the awards season nominations this fine closet melodrama should receive will do some more. Given the right timing, A Single Man should play well at the broader end of the prestige arthouse market.

You wouldn't dare! :)
^^Thanks for the reviews.
I'm curious how Brothers will be received. I think they should have chosen another mom. I'm not sure Natalie was that great of a choice. But we will see. :)

Me too! *fingers crossed*

'Erased James Franco' director Carter showed some love to the subject of his film when fashion house Gucci hosted a private screening at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. After a post-screening discussion, guests—including Franco's brother, mother and grandmother—celebrated over cocktails at chic eatery The Modern.
James Franco and Carter - was that a kiss or a sniff?
