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 1001 – 1200 of 2143 Newer› Newest»Btw what made me go to Babble *gag* is to check if they had Cantara's link or mention of her announcement. They don't. So either he's G-A-Y or Babblers are slacking.
Babblers are NEVER slacking!!!
Someone either parked their car for them while they were in the store (valet parking at twist?)Or Jake ran ahead and met them at another spot in the area. Reese has her keys out and the kids are getting in the car. Jake I assume has a key as well and slid over so Reese could drive
LMAOPIMP Yeah there's valet parking at a strip mall and Jake got in the drivers side and slid over. Fuck. LMAO
The host asks and she makes a joke about it. She says that Jake isgay and that it happened all of a sudden when he was working on Pop. Aliens kidnapped him and took him to venus where he met Tom Cruise. The host says yes or no nad she says yes in another universe, Venus.
She hasn't a clue one way or another IMO. Just using the Gyllenhaal name for attention, cunt.
Thanks 12:01 PM #2!
The host says yes or no nad she says yes in another universe, Venus.
Babblers won't be pleased! lol
the car is parked somewhere else from looking at the background.
The pap never moved, the car did!
Actually I think she's telling the truth: Jake is gay. The "other universe and Venus" story covers her ass so she can say she was joking. Good work, Cantara.
12:01 PM #2,
do you have the time stamp for "Cantara talks about Jake"? I'd like to listen to that part.
The the absolute silence at GB means Jake is gay.
If Cantara said Jake was straight, or made the implication, UV and FL would all over it like flies on shit.
12:11, I'm not 12:01 but believe me you just have to suffer thru it. No fast forward or timestamp. Good luck. LOL
No fast forward or timestamp.
There is fast forward if you download MP3 file :)
Silence at DC too. LOL.
12:20, I didn't want to waste space on Cantara !! LOL!
The only interest in Cantara from Jake fans is here and OMG, GB, WDW, IHJ and DC never post or yack about her.
All she had to say is I have no idea, which she doen't IMO based on her past crap with JW/IHJ. Instead she makes cutesy story about aliens and gets to pimp POP, the host is obviously embarrassed for asking and drops it. She does say something about after all that's out there or something, I don't know if she was referring to to Reeke in the rags and why was the host asking that question.
She has refered to them in the past as a tabloid romance but she als refered to Naomi as emoitionally crippling her kids and because of that Jake is clueless ababout woman and that Reese has taken Jake by the hand and made him part of the family or some such shit.
Babbler at 12:32, it really rattled you didn't it. Double words, repeated letters, misspellings galore. Don't worry, Jake being gay isn't going to destroy your world.
Babblers are crushed.
Oh, no! Who will entertain us?
Shit! If the Babblers commit suicide who's going to visit our Jake fan section?
I think you are the ones that are rattled. Your pal Cuntara still hasn't spilled, and that book ain't going to reveal anything either.
I lurked on her blog and she does mention that Reese has taken him by the hand and that Naomi fucked him up, blah, blah. That wasn't posted here for obviously.
Cunty's cover her ass with the Venus story is funny because she doesn't come across as being that clever.
Maybe crazy Papa will continue to have his online meltdown and really out his son, not attention whore Cunty.
Hey Babbler what difference does it make who outs Jake and why? Cantara's fine by me. IMO the more disgruntled and attention-seeking people who speak the truth, the better. If selfish motivations are what it takes to get the truth, then so be it.
dont want to nor am i aloud to tell you guys... BUT!
my amazing source has told me that you guys will deff be getting a sweet SOPHIN surprise on saturday
dont ask me about it, cause i wont ruin it.
but now you all have something AMAZING to look forward to.
http://othforums.com/index.php?topic=64954.2125
That wasn't posted here for obviously.
Bullshit, babbler.
We have posted and discussed ALL tabloid Reeke bullshit here, we aren't afraid of more fiction from Cantara.
my amazing source has told me that you guys will deff be getting a sweet SOPHIN surprise on saturday
hey guys .. so I just saw the post on othfans.com about the Celebrity Autograph Fundraiser on September 12th.. they say "Along with other celebrities, several One Tree Hill cast members are tentatively scheduled to appear at this event."
-----
Four cast members are scheduled to attend Saturday's signing, assuming, of course, that any filming is not rescheduled for Saturday:
Austin Nichols
Sophia Bush
Lee Norris
Kate Voegele
Just thought I'd pass along this info! I live in Wilmington, and I will be there on Saturday.
I remember back in the days of the JW/WFT "fued", Cuntara was revealed as someone only pretending to have inside information and was just expoiting the Jake fandom, basically she was full of shit.
Said that she never met Jake and only met Maggie and Peter briefly, met Naomi lots and obviously hates her.
On her blog she plays dime store shrink when talking about Jake and Maggie and thinks that Naomi has damaged both.
I didn't bbother to listen beyond the Venus shtick so I don't know what she said after that.
Interesting. Who here is posting that they don't believe Cantara saying that Jake is gay, the Babblers or the WFTers? IMO it's Babblers pretending to be WFTers rejecting what she said because she's Cantara.
Wake me up when you all smell the coffee.
A Single Man: Colin Firth gives one of the finest, most affecting performances of his career
It’s no surprise that the feature film directing debut of fashion designer Tom Ford is a thing of heart-stopping beauty. He celebrates the male form with a sensual reverence. He uses colour with the visual articulacy of Wong Kar Wai and frames his shots with elegance and wit. It looks like a Wallpaper magazine photo shoot styled by Douglas Sirk. But what is a little more unexpected, certainly for those who were suspicious of Ford’s background in the ephemeral world of fashion, is that this is no frothy, throwaway piece of pretty silliness. Rather it’s a work of emotional honesty and authenticity which announces the arrival of a serious filmmaking talent. There will be critics who will be unable to get past the director’s background, but rest assured: Tom Ford is the real deal.
Ford’s decision to adapt Christopher Isherwood’s A Single Man shows that he is not shy of a challenge. Isherwood’s novel charts a day in the life of George Falconer, a recently-bereaved gay college lecturer in early 1960s LA. The book unfolds predominantly through an interior monologue, a device which is notoriously tricky to transfer to the big screen without resorting to pages of cumbersome voice-over. Ford sidesteps this by keeping the narration to a minimum and instead giving us vivid little glimpses into George’s bruised psyche with some well-chosen flashbacks.
Ford brings one major change to the material. Rather than wander from encounter to encounter through the day, his George is given a purpose – a suicide he plans for with the same precision and impeccable good taste that he brings to everything else in his life. Knowing that this might be his last day on earth, George sees the quotidian banalities of his day to day life with fresh eyes and a new appreciation. The nearness of death makes him more alive than he has been for months. To convey this, Ford warms the colour. George’s grief and loneliness is grey but he rediscovers the world in saturated technicolor. It’s an effective technique but could have done with being dialled down a little, perhaps more subliminal than overt.
In the role of George, Colin Firth gives one of the finest, most affecting performances of his career. Two moments stand out: a flashback to the fateful telephone call which told him of his lover Jim’s death. The camera rests steadily on his face as his world crumbles. It’s a devastating piece of acting. And there’s a lovely little detail later in the film – George buries his face in the fur of a terrier puppy, recapturing the sense memory of doggy smells and happier days spent with Jim and their own pets. More than anything, it’s Ford’s eye for evocative details like this that makes A Single Man such an impressive debut.

Sounds like Brokeback!! Instead of a shirt, a dog! ; D
I think Cantera is a loon, but I do think she may be right about Naomi. You can just tell by the way Jake reverts to a child with Reese that he has mommy issues.

Why are you posting her profile?
To explain why she knows how to spell GYLLENHAAL.
LOL!
Theory regarding frozen yogurt pics.
Let's say it was an arranged op Jake knew about. Why did he look awkward then? I think it's what the paparazzi screem at them that's annoying to Jake. They ask Jake when he'll marry Reese all the time, even in front of the children (they asked Reese that when she went shopping with Deacon). How awkward, don't you think? Maybe it's not the paparazzi presence per se that angers Jake, but what they screem at him in front of the kids?
I think it's what the paparazzi screem at them that's annoying to Jake.
Not this time, PR arranged friendy Flynet paparazzi.
Flynet paparazzi don't ask stupid questions or what?
Flynet paparazzi work for the agency, agency has agreement with Reeke PR - yes, I think it's possible for paparazzi to get instructions how to treat agency clients.
^^Who knows if they got the memo? It's still possible they asked the awkward marriage question. There's no way to know unless we get a vid of it.
Why would marriage question be awkward ?!?
Paps yelled the marriage question at them twice last week: Deacon and Reese, video is on x17 and then a few days later at Jake and Reese , the video is on hollywoodvideo.com. Neither were flynet paps I assume but thought that it was odd that it was asked twice a few days apart unless it was the same group of paps.
et's say it was an arranged op Jake knew about. Why did he look awkward then?
Jake doesn't look awkward.
Jake ignores the beard and acts like he doesn't want to be there.
Neither were flynet paps I assume but thought that it was odd that it was asked twice a few days apart unless it was the same group of paps.
Check out LA Times article about X17 - they teach paparazzi how to talk to celebrities, how to provoke a reaction. I presume other agencies are doing the same, a lot of money is at stake.
Why would marriage question be awkward ?!?
Are you kidding? Asking that in front of the kids makes for an awkward situation.
Why? Is marriage a dirty word? I'm sure Reese and Ryan explained them about paparazzi, tabloids and control their Internet access.
Good news for Jake!
Next was Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. The trailer footage looked great and showed Jake standing on top of a building looking over the city. This trailer was mostly quick cuts. There's a dagger that controls the sands of time and they show a shot of Jake almost being killed by a sword when he activates the dagger and the sand starts to cover his body as he goes back in time. There was a similar clip when a snake almost bites Jake in the face and he activates the dagger. There were a lot of shots of him and Gemma. One scene she asks him if he has the dagger on him and he jokingly tells her she'll have to search him thoroughly. The movie showed jake fighting and a scene where they're inside a temple and the sand they're standing on starts to sink in. Movie looked great even though a lot of the visual effects weren't completed.

I went to an event the other night and got to see Jennifer Esposito up close. Honestly? She looks like a man or rather she looks very masculine in person. I kid you not. She looks like a man in drag...I told a pal I was with and she agreed but she thought maybe it was the excess makeup. That's not it.
You obviously don't have kids 4;50.
Give me a break.
Reese and Ryan will have to teach kids to ignore bad comments about their mother and father and about them, to avoid discussions about Reese's tits and bitchery, ... - paparazzi mentioning marriage is part of that lesson.
She looks like a man in drag...I told a pal I was with and she agreed but she thought maybe it was the excess makeup.
DL gossip - Jennifer Esposito likes girls.
"Prince of Persia" debuted the first trailer (which, though Bruckheimer claimed wasn't complete, seemed ready to go effects-wise). The trailer featured quite a bit of Jake Gyllenhaal as Prince Dastan and explained the basic plot: there is a magical dagger that offers the bearer the power to travel through time. Ben Kingsley (as the evil Nizam) wants to steal it and use it it to destroy the world, so Dastan and Tamina (Gemma Arterton) have to take it to "the secret guardian temple" where it can be safe. There's quite a bit of fast cutting and flirting between Dastan and Tamina. At one point, they appear to be in disguise as servants and she asks if he's carrying the dagger. He tells her that she'll have to do a pretty thorough search to find it.
Coming Soon
Maybe it's not the paparazzi presence per se that angers Jake, but what they screem at him in front of the kids?
I don't understand why are you ignoring the obvious.
Jake doesn't look at paparazzi, paparazzi aren't very near, paparazzi don't block their way or anything - there is no reason to presume Jake is annoyed by paparazzi.
But let's presume that Jake is annoyed by paparazzi - why would he ignore the berad because of that???
Sounds lame.
I don't understand why are you ignoring the obvious.
Duh! Because Jake can't be pissed off with the beard - everything else is possible, but that isn't!
DL gossip - Jennifer Esposito likes girls.
Well, she was married to Bradley Cooper :)
PoP sounds like a conventional romantic advanture. It'll probably do fine. Typical chick flick. :)
Do chicks care about magical daggers and CGI?
Sounds to me like one of those hybrid films that won't end up being liked by either the guys or the chicks.
If Jennifer likes girls, and it was a show marriage, why end it so soon?
And is Cooper possibly the answer to today's BV?
*And is Cooper possibly the answer to today's BV?*
Who cares? Another closeted twat who thinks is hotter than he really is? We already have plenty of those in HW...is getting so boring
If Jennifer likes girls, and it was a show marriage, why end it so soon?
DL gossip - Ent Lawyer had a BI about him beating Jennifer Esposito's ass. This was the reason for the quickie marriage.
Do chicks care about magical daggers and CGI?
I think many (most?) do!
DL gossip - She's [Jennifer Esposito] rumored to be a lesbian. The BI had him beating her and him catching her with a women in bed. Everyone seems to forget that fact. It was a merkin/beard marriage.
Recently whipped Toothy Tile?
If anybody's caught on recently why Hairy's fake relationships with various starlets these days is so upsetting his ex, this is most likely one of chief reasons why. He can prance out ersatz honeys for camera, but not her? Yep, apparently it's an utter impossibility for Topher to be under-the-radar cool like Crotch Uh-Lastic or even the recently whipped Toothy Tile. He can't keep the fact that he likes dude somewhat discreet (as long as he's choosing to stay in the closet), he just has to—as usual—take chances and parade all kinds of risk-taking measures for many to see.
Dear Ted:
Hope you had a restful vacation. We enjoyed Team Awful and tried to coerce a few Blind Vices out of them, but they wouldn't give. Is Baby Tile a he or a she? And is the father a handsome hunk and mother a beautiful Latina?

Agreement Reached on a Reprieve for Annie Leibovitz Loan Repayment
The Times
Papa Stephen broke? He's in good company.
#11:
If Annie found a smart Jewish accountant from Long Island a dozen years ago she would never have been in this situation.
LOL!
Annie Leibovitz and the company that lent her $24 million, Art Capital Group, announced Friday afternoon they have reached an agreement to restructure the photographer’s finances and settle a lawsuit between them.
$24 million? How much money a single woman needs?!
She paid for Susan Sontag's cancer treatment? (Her partner.)
"Her Manhattan neighbors believe that Leibovitz needed to borrow because of the lengthy renovation of her two townhouses on West 11th Street and a third one next door that she was forced to buy when her construction crew undermined its foundation, forcing neighbors to move into a hotel."
Why Is Annie Leibovitz Broke?
Why would Cooper beat her for that when he's gay? That makes no sense.
She didn't change the sheets?
Because she wasn't discreet, one night stands in their house could uncover their fake marriage and him being gay.
DL Bradley Cooper and Renee Zellweger gossip:
Maybe it gets posted everyday but this is the first place I have posted it. I have close friends in the business who know them both very well, as well as you can know anyone - do you catch my drift? Bradley is completely, totally gay. Renee is a HUGE fag hag - HUGE. She prefers gay men and most of her friends are gay.

The host asks and she makes a joke about it. She says that Jake is gay and that it happened all of a sudden when he was working on Pop. Aliens kidnapped him and took him to venus where he met Tom Cruise. The host says yes or no and she says yes in another universe, Venus.
First of all, you really need to hear the radio interview for yourselves. The above is a summary, yes, but it doesn't include any description of HOW it was said. IMO once you hear it your view that it was just some lofty quip might change.
The guy asks if Jake is gay and she answers strongly and emphatically in the full sentence "YES Jake is gay." And there is a long pause. A LONG pause. If the pause was written it would be the space before a new paragraph.
Then she says it happened during POP and goes into the alien whatever part and Venus.. it sounds stranger and lamer as she goes on. IMO her attempt to smooth it over and turn her answer into a farcical joke might have sounded good in her head at the time but it failed.
Maybe in her book she'll officially state that Jake's hetero or she won't say anything at all. IMO her radio thing was a way of unofficially saying yes, he's gay and the very lame silly story following it was a cover-your-ass move.
3 years ago when she said something that Jake was straight, that was a long time ago, when she was enthralled with Stephen, professionally and personally, and ready to do or say anything for the Gyllenhaal honor. Now, not so much. She's moved across the country with her husband, she has little ties with SG besides an old book contract that's ticking down. Her distaste for him is obvious. She really has nothing left to lose with him.
IMO Cantara, no matter how many of you don't like her (I don't care one way or another) was saying Jake is gay in her own way. The Gyllenhaals must be seething, at least Naomi. Jake I'm not so sure of, since Ted has said more than once that Toothy is kind of hoping that someone else will do his outing for him. As for Maggie and Stephen, I don't know. They might be mad and relieved at the same time.
Just 2 minutes of the radio interview, Cantara talks about Jake:

8:55/8:57: No. Just Cuntara playing word games, saying Jake is gay in her own way but backtracking/covering her ass by making fun of fangirls e-mailing her and asking so she say that yes he is but it happened all of a dudden while filming Pop and aliens kidnapped him to venus where he meets T. Cruise. The host asks again, and she says on the planet venus and drops it.
She has a book on the family coming out and i doubt that you will get any more than that silliness. If Heath din't die she would have used BBM instead of Pop IMO.
What's this crap about McBongo?
Ten more days until Love and Drugs. Thank you, Anne Hathaway.
Why are you thanking Anne Bubble boy? Is she a producer for the film or was it a case of you and Annie's people getting some PR for casting 2 BBM stars in a movie??
BTW, I hope there isn't the same $$$$ problems with this film like Nailed, it smells the same.

Britain: Apology to Gay Mathematician
September 11, 2009
Prime Minister Gordon Brown apologized Friday to the mathematician Alan Turing, who committed suicide in 1954 after he was tried and convicted of “gross indecency” for being homosexual.
Mr. Brown said that Turing had been treated “terribly” and that the outcome of World War II could have been quite different had it not been for Turing’s efforts in cracking German codes, notably the Enigma coding machine. Turing is often hailed for his influence on modern computing.
Thousands of people have signed a petition calling for a formal apology from the government, though Turing has no known surviving family, The Daily Telegraph reported.
Writing in the newspaper, Mr. Brown said: “On behalf of the British government, and all those who live freely thanks to Alan’s work, I am very proud to say: We’re sorry. You deserved so much better.”
Turing was sentenced, as an alternative to prison, to chemical castration by a series of injections of female hormones, the prime minister noted.
MM was excluded as TT about a year ago. What's interesting though is that his baby named Levi was born July 7, 2008 and he hardly ever smiles at it or holds it, the mother always does in about 90% of all pics. He also hardly ever smiles or looks at her, if/when they are together. Remember about 2 weeks ago on OMG/OTH there was a post and pic about seeing Austin and MM on the beach together? I was surprised about that, that they hang out together. HW is weird and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if BT was hiding in plain sight in the form of MM and Camila's kid, if Camila was the donor/surrogate and now the full-time mom. Far fetched but it's HW.
" I was surprised about that, that they hang out together.
They are both from Austin, TX and it would surprise people how small of a city it is. I wouldn't be surprised if they knew each other before Jake knew either one of them. They both probably still follow Texas football at all levels which is the common thread of just about every Texan. So it doesn't surprise me they hang out.
I'm bored tonite and I went thru Ted's TT Blind vices. I have a question on the Gag Me with Cocaine BV. It says Toothy would make this lady blow lines all over his Little Toothy Tile until he was “numb,” bitched the gal who did the blowing. This doesn't make sense. Was it a typo and it was supposed to say "until she was numb”?? Because she was the one snorting the coke and even if it was off his penis, the penis only gets numb if coke goes into the soft inside tissues around the glans.
It's interesting that Ted doesn't say that TT was snorting coke, only that he would make this lady blow lines of it. Must be an E! legal thing. And why would TT force someone to snort a ton of coke if he wasn't having any, and if he wasn't doing that much why was he numb? I also wonder if numb means zoned-out or a penis that can't get hard or can't have an orgasm and get soft. Does anyone have any ideas on this. I love the sex BVs.

Anybody but me who wonders if the Gyllenhaals will give Cuntara the silent treatment,or reply to her drivel somehow?
And are Babblers in chock or something, there hasn't been an update on Gyllenbabble since August 30??
I'm sure the Gyllenhaals will give Cantara the silent treatment because everything else would help her get the press.
Cunty did the interview on 9/8 and she tweeted about the Jake portion on Friday for attention. Almost 2 weeks passed before that, I noticed that they only do new posts only once or twice a week at the most. Even they are bored and a little annoyed that he is hiding in Pitt. I would think rather than be at D23 yesterday. UV really runs the blog and I assume she was on vacation for a bit but now is back. I get the impression that FL only pops in once in awhile but rarely makes posts.
It's the same at OMG where SK runs it and Wicked pops in and out but Wicked has been MIA for awhile.
IHJ has been dead forever, the Jake thread on DC is dead as well and WDW is pretty much dead as well with a handful of regulars and Kate making up half of the comments which is fine and she does update it but it's not like it was in hte beggining.
I checked over there at GB and it was posted and a few discussed it bit but it/she was dismissed.
There really isn't anything in that interview IMO except for her playing games for attention. I doubt that anyone not even the Gyllenhaals will mention it and why should they? Maybe when the book comes out. She used Jake's fandom in '06 to sell his father's crappy poetry and she is doing it againIMO to sell her book on the family, this time through her blog and tweets(how else would anyone know about that interview). And if anyone down the line asks her about she canalways say she was kidding with her lame-ass story and stil pimp her book.
I checked over there at GB and it was posted and a few discussed it bit but it/she was dismissed.
What was dismissed?
Thanks for the report, 9:26 AM - I can't bring myself to visit other Jake fan sites.
The lame-ass audio interview cunty did on 9/8 and tweeted about on friday because she realized that nobody heard ab out it, LOL!!
Someone above commented that the babblers must be in shock that's why they haven't updated since 8/30 and I pointed out that the interview was tweeted about yesterday, almost 2 weeks after their last post so it has nothing to do with cunty, most likely a combination of boredom and vacay.
Even if they knew about the interview on the 8th and listened to it, almost 2 weeks had past.
Cunty did announce she was doing the interview but any jake fans that lurk on her site would have no clue what she was going to talk about.
If you check out cunty's blog there is an exerpt from the book.
PS: Love that video!
There really isn't anything in that interview IMO except for her playing games for attention.
Yes, Cantara wants attention, but:
a) it was the interviewer who brought up "is Jake Gyllenhaal gay" question
b) Cantara didn't have to answer with "Jake is gay", she could have say 100 different things including "you'll have to buy my book and find out" :)
Remember about 2 weeks ago on OMG/OTH there was a post and pic about seeing Austin and MM on the beach together?"
Can someone repost the link to seeing Austin and McBongo together?

Austin Nichols Journal - picture of Austin and twitter link
They are both [Austin and McBongo] from Austin, TX and it would surprise people how small of a city it is. I wouldn't be surprised if they knew each other before Jake knew either one of them. They both probably still follow Texas football at all levels which is the common thread of just about every Texan. So it doesn't surprise me they hang out.
Interesting, I never thought about that during Three Amigos times.
10:02 I think Cunty asked him to ask the question , he bought her on the show to tqlk about independent publishing and of course pimp her book on the Gyllenhaal family. I'm sure he didn't expect the venus story. She could have said I don't know or read the book after the set-up question was asked but she can't help herself I guess. Keep the few that are interested wondering until the book comes out if she was completely joking.
For some reason I thought the pic was of matt and austin playing soccer with his dog together.

Beautiful.
Don’t miss this Austin and Robert video clip. It’s wonderful. Buckin rocks!!
Robert running and hugging Austin looks so gay :)
Robert knows how Austin likes his sandwiches? Time to kick some ass!

Or the guy who did the interview is gay and curious :)
On the second day of the Disney D23 Expo they showed us a presentation of several upcoming Disney projects, from the end of 2009 and on. I’ll be doing a full write up soon, but here is a list of some of the highlights:
...
* Old Dogs trailer got some of the biggest laughs out of almost everything… odd.
* Miley Cyrus did not receive ANY claps when in clips and no one seemed that excited to see her perform.
* Someone in the audience yelled out to Jerry Bruckheimer, after talking about Prince of Persia either “And you’re also gay!” or “Get off the stage!” Neither one were appreciated, but either made sense from an angry Disney fan.

*cries*
(((Jerry)))
How can they not know what exactly the "fan" yelled and why was the fan disappointed? I don't get it!
Babblers FL/UV know all about Cantara's radio interview. Anything Jake or Jake-related, they're like flies on shit. If she had announced Jake was straight they would have been crowing all about it and fanning themselves, then coming over here and at OMG trolling about it.
How can they not know what exactly the "fan" yelled and why was the fan disappointed?
The fan didn't say why is he disappointed, so there is no way to know.
This is interesting: "Neither one were appreciated, but either made sense from an angry Disney fan."
12:02, because it was in a large auditorium. Ever been in one with a large audience? It's hard to hear what exactly what was said if someone in the audience yells something out. I can easily see how those 2 phrases could sound the same. It could have been something else entirely different.
Someone in the audience yelled out to Jerry Bruckheimer, after talking about Prince of Persia either “And you’re also gay!” or “Get off the stage!”
OK admit it, who did that?
I know it was one of you because the rest of the World adores Jerry and Jake!
Dear Ted:
Orlando Bloom seemed like he'd be the next Johnny Depp, but I haven't seen him in anything lately. What happened and does it have anything to do with the fact that he looks emaciated and only dates emaciated women?
—Pix
Dear Off Our Radar:
Totally agree with you. He hasn't kept up his hot career very well has he?
12:05 The question was not that they didn't know about the interview that Cunty tweeted about on friday. The poster above was wondering why they haven't updated since 8/30 and thought that they were in shock, LOL!! It was pointed out that the interview was done on 9/8, last tuesday. Even if they knew through some miracle what was said on tuesday, the blog still went updated from 8/30 till know which means that it had nothing to do with cunty's gibberish non-answer.
They don't update that blog as often as they use to, twice a week at the most. The link to the interview was posted and discussed, it wasn't deleted. Yes, I lurk there .
I doubt that even if cunty said straight that there wold be any reaction. They all had shitty experiences with cunty and I get the impression and that includes IHJ and WDW, DC which is silent as well.
How much you wanna bet that cunty either does the same thing in her book or won't talk about it at all, I hope noy here pre-ordered the book!
looks bad when Depp, Travolta, Williams and Cage all show up at the expo and Buble boy is wandering crappy pittburgh buying coffee.

So what do our precious babblers think Cantara said about Jake - that he's gay or not?

Jerry didn't want me there - he was afraid I would totally steal their thunder!
Prime Minister Gordon Brown apologized Friday to the mathematician Alan Turing, who committed suicide in 1954 after he was tried and convicted of “gross indecency” for being homosexual.
September 04, 2009
Stephen Fry has backed a Downing Street petition calling for a posthumous apology to a World War II code breaker considered the father of computing. The writer and actor is urging his 740,000 followers on Twitter to support the campaign to get Gordon Brown to "apologise for the prosecution of Alan Turing that led to his untimely death".
A bit of Adam
SK from OMG doesn't like the Robert/Austin video, just said that it loks like they like goofinging off.
No comments from her on the AN journal like she usally does, hmmmm.
Bad 2:00 PM, leave SK alone :)
Robert/Austin video is cute but it made me sad because the only Jake/Austin goofing around we'll ever see are TDAT behind the scenes clips.
Jake, Reese and Maggie are in Brooklyn today according to twitter.
Great! lol
There is a second video of Robert and Austin posted. They are both hot. Robert in the first one joking about wrestling for sweeps week in the first one, and Austin joking in the second one about getting naked together.
Thanks for the Adam picture. Lots of hot men for a Saturday afternoon. :-D
There is a second video of Robert and Austin posted.
second video
The E critic was not taken with the POP trailer. "We saw some footage of Prince of Persia starring scorching hottie Jake Gyllenhaal, and ya know...not so great. Never judge a movie by its trailer and all, but Jake seemed kinda silly all beefed up and talking in a kooky English accent. It looked like The Mummy 2, but with more abs and stubble". Wonder what other critics will say over the next few days.

*Bitch!*

Were those voice over tweets false, did we misunderstood them, or did Disney abandon voice over idea?
Is Twitterer trustworthy? Magazine editor:

Maybe Maggie is giving Jake and his beard advice on what to do now.
Austin and Robert sans shirts together
*Fuck!*
Btw I didn't post it but there was a twitter late last night said Reese was at Parc (in Philly). They've been doing most of the filming in that area at night until the early morning hours. If both twits are true, would a person really fly late late night/early morning from Philly to NYC? Just seems like a hassle unless it's an emergency. As for Jake he ate alone at a place in Pit. It didn't say what time.
Better watch out Jake. Robert looks hot, and he looks like he is gunning for Austin. Maybe you should be down in Wilmington instead of with the beard.
Celebrity Autograph Fundraiser on September 12th in Wilmington - looks like Austin and Sophia are there.
The Venezia 66 Jury, chaired by Ang Lee and comprised of Sandrine Bonnaire, Liliana Cavani, Joe Dante, Anurag Kashyap, Luciano Ligabue, Sergei Bodrov, having viewed all twenty-five films in competition, has decided as follows:
Coppa Volpi for Best Actor: Colin FIRTH in the film A Single Man by Tom FORD (USA)
I hope Reeke aren't pissed at Maggie who insinuated that Jake somehow changed because of his recent celeb lifestlye?
You hope Reeke aren't pissed at Maggie ?!? Why?
Maggie didn't mention Jake's beard in that Marie Clare interview.
But his lifestyle includes Reese! At least the public makes the connection.
Maggie was talking about Jake:
"There are perils attached to be being a celebrity couple, of course - though the fact that both have largely eschewed main-stream projects has ensured a level of anonymity. ‘When Ramona was born, it was bad,’ Gyllenhaal says. ‘We were living in the West Village [in New York], where all the paparazzi are, and it got to be a little frenzy.’
Since then, the family has upped sticks to a relatively tranquil area of Brooklyn. ‘And they never bother us here in London’, she adds. ‘We were at Wimbledon, walking around with sausages and champagne, and we thought, "We are so lucky we can do this." My brother can’t do that, and I don’t want to give it up.‘
It is, indeed, a different story for her brother, Jake, for whom celebrity arrived earlier, and whose status as a Hollywood heart-throb and beau of Reese Witherspoon has meant that his experience of fame has been less enjoyable. They are still close, but it is hard not to wonder whether such differences have caused a tangible shift in their relationship. ‘Of course, everybody does change as they grow up,’ she answers carefully, ‘but I think it’s really hard for him, that stuff. It’s hard for anybody who has to figure out a way to manage it. Like in Los Angeles, I don’t always know where to avoid going - sometimes you just walk into a paparazzi nest. I get so angry, really upset,' she says protectively, her voice flaring a little. 'They chase him in their car and it's just different for him. More than anything I feel sorry for him that he has to deal with that.’"
that = Reese's photo ops
LAOD - I bet we'll see more behind the scenes pics of Reeke and of Jake and Anne. Before someone attacks me and says why would she be there, let's wait and see. But I think I'm right.
Sorry 4:27 PM, but Reese doesn't own Jake.

OMG Gorilla Coffee needs to get Gorilla Jake coffee mugs. LOL
^^^ Great idea!
Gorilla Jake coffee mugs
[wouldn't be the 1st time]
Brooklyn lunch. It's possible that the twitterer mistook Jake's blonde lady agent to be the beard. Especially if she was sitting from behind. Remember after Brothers preview outside with the director and she hugged him bye and all the tabs thought it was the Chin?!
Gorilla Jake coffee mugs
*beats chest*

Fuck!

Brothers preview hug
There was an article I read that kind of made fun of Maggie's comments about feeling bad for her bro, cause of the pap attention. They were like, he's about to star in a potential blockbuster and franchise and dating one of the most famous actresses in Hollywood. So, what do you expect? LOL.
*orders 20 dozen*

Either he and Chin planned to spend the weekend in Brooklyn (she probably had the weekend off from shooting) with the sister or it's his agent... Who knows?
If it was Maggie with Reeke then that'll be in Us Reekly with a engagement announcement I bet.
We'll find out.
6:00 PM #2
LOL, how did you get from Reeke lunch to engagement announcement ?!?
I dunno about the weekend off. Making movies isn't M-F 9-5 especially with what they're doing. shooting in streets and buildings of a real city. I heard the last few days it's been shooting early evenings til 5 am because they're using closed restaurants and also to cut down on the traffic, pedestrian, looky-loos and parking situation while filming street scenes. So I'd imagine the weekends would be when they'd shoot, not take off.
6:05 Reeke lunch with Maggie. Family. Pics of that and Stepdad Jake at MV and yogurt.... IMO it's all leading up to an engagment. Also I don't think Ted's "recently whipped" reference was just to hanging around the beard, because that's been going on for a long time. I think Ted knows Jake has sold out and it's just a matter of time before we all know.
Really?
So why didn't last year's pictures of Reeke and Naomi lead up to an engagment? Or last year's pictures of Reeke and chin's kids in Paris?
LOL I wonder if when they asked Jake if he would ride out the gay rumors and beard with Reese he thought they meant Reese Rideout.
6:17, I said "I bet" and "IMO". Learn to read and accept others' opinions.
6:11 PM
I have no problem with your opinion - I have a problem with your arguments.
OT but LOL Elderly man with oxygen tank robs bank
I want to know how he "fled." Did he hobble out or what?!
Elderly man with oxygen tank robs bank
That's the Spirit!
6:26 then that's your problem isn't it
^^^ No, it is your problem - you need better arguments in order for your opinion to make sense.
OK 6:40 Babbler whatever you say LOL
This is a fun site full of opinions, brainstorming and predictions, not a lecture hall where people have to present formal arguments. Get over yourself. Since I expect you'll have to have the last word I'll say bye for now. Bye.
Neil Patrick Harris in next week's Rolling Stone:
"I love going to the Playboy Mansion party with my boyfriend. Last year, we got dressed up as dead foppish Brits with topcoats and white contact lenses. These naked girls on Ecstasy kept coming up to us, like, 'We love your contacts.' We'd twirl around and say, 'Well, we like your breasts!'"
ONTD - check out the pic!
Gay men love tits!
Gay men love cocks!
Reese Rideout
Cracks me up when babblers point to pics of Jake looking at breasts as proof he's straight. My male gay friends are always looking and grabbing mine and whatever I wear they have to comment. They're always grabbing and sticking their fingers in my butt too. Gays are the worst ones, lol.
Gay men love cocks!
Reese Rideout
Was he the guy in the orange socks?!
What was the name of that ONTD that had all the naked men? I forgot and I didn't bookmark it..
I saved it! DNA Hottest Men 2009
Fuck!
Jake said... I saved it! DNA Hottest Men 2009
What would we do without you?! lol
You wanted something, Austin?
I thought we are talking about this guys ... but there are no orange socks!
ONTD - Uh, Yes Please
Uh Yes Please - that's good too!
DNA - orange socks was in there. Alot of pics are deleted. Lesson learned, don't use Photobucket for nude pics. Imageshack is better!!
