Page Six today has a not-very-thinly-veiled item about Anderson Cooper going on a very gay vacation with his very gay boyfriend who owns a very gay bar. Enough: Anderson Cooper is very gay. It's time he said it.
Anderson Cooper's see-through closet is such a joke that it doesn't make sense to call him in the closet anymore. If he won't say it, we will: Anderson Cooper is officially out. There's no difference between him and Neil Patrick Harris. They both play it straight at their day jobs and then openly go about town with their boyfriends and do TV interviews about how much they love Kathy Griffin and The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
It's not like Cooper's in a club all of his own, either. He is part of an increasingly large crowd of notables who won't come out but have given up trying to hide that they are gay. Queen Latifah denied that she was going to marry her girlfriend, a girlfriend who she tries to pass off as her "trainer." Kevin Spacey got busted lying about being mugged in a London cruising park. Ricky Martin has stopped even trying to fight the gay rumors. Jodie Foster has never said she's a lesbian out loud, but she basically came out when she thanked her partner in an acceptance speech.
These gay-not-gay celebrities are different from the Hugh Jackmans, John Travoltas, Tom Cruises, and Kenny Chesneys, who are all constantly plagued with gay rumors that they strenuously try to deny or deflect. If they're gay, they're doing it in secret. Cooper and his set of cohorts live openly gay lives — and that's a good thing — but they refuse to acknowledge what the public already knows.
In Anderson Cooper's specific case, we sort of understand why he won't open his mouth and let the rainbows fly. All the guy has ever wanted to do was be an old-fashioned newsman and unfortunately him coming out would make him a part of the story. Every time he tried to cover something having to do with gay civil rights (or Madonna or Fire Island) plenty of people would claim that his reporting was biased because of his sexual orientation. It's not fair: Katie Couric doesn't have to worry when she covers pay inequality for women, and neither does Harry Smith when discussing new medicine that will eradicate baldness.
Coming out would open Cooper up to irrational accusations from those waiting to pounce on the "liberal media" just as quickly as A.C. pounces on his muscle man in an Indian hotel room. That sucks, but it's the way it currently is. How does it get changed? Well, by having some major national news figures come out and show that they can still get blown over in a hurricane or report live from a war zone without breaking into a anti-Prop 8 rant.
That's right, Anderson, it's going to take you to change it. Rachel Maddow has paved the way, but all the baby gays out there need you to man up and be our Jackie Robinson. The first step is the easiest, you just have to say what everyone already knows.

Fat, annoying and a douche.
Just that? lol
"The word "douche" comes from the French language, in which its principal meaning is a shower. It is thus a notorious false friend encountered by non-native speakers of English; the French phrase for vaginal douching is douche vaginale, meaning vaginal shower.
The word "douche" is also used in English as a derogatory slang term".
OK, so Baldwin is not a shower.:)
Alec Baldwin used to be HOT, and I think he still looks good :)
Jake must be desperate to flirt with guys like him.
PMP! Practice Makes Perfect!
Nolan North?? As in Dr. Chris Ramsey from the now defunct soap Port Charles? I LOVED him. He was great on that show. I didn't realize he did voicework. Sorry Jake but I hope Nolan gets credit for the dubbing. I miss seeing Nolan on the soaps.
Nolan North does tons of voice work: IMDb
This reminds me how embarassing Jennifer Beals felt when public found out a guy doubled for her butt in Flashdance
I don't think anyone will care in PoP case.
a guy doubled for her butt in Flashdance
A guy?! They couldn't find a girl with nice butt?
A woman with a nice butt is an oxymoron.
No, it was a woman named Martine who doubled for Jennifer. Honestly, I don't think that's as bad (Jennifer was not a dancer) but to have your entire voice dubbed in a movie by someone else is not good. Reminds me of Andie McDowell in Greystone (Glenn Close dubbed her voice). Andie was not well known at the time but Jake is. This will be a big deal once it's publicized.
A-ha. I KNEW Jake's POP voice was dubbed/layered. I bet that's the #1 reason why POP was delayed, and Jake was pissed - the voice he worked on and thought was appropriate for his character was being replaced.
8:10 ITA. LOL I predict Playstation Magazine will either 1)backpedal or 2)lose any POP/Disney favors - or both.
gay guy said...
A woman with a nice butt is an oxymoron.
LOL
BTW, Jennifer Beals is gay, right?
A woman with a nice butt is an oxymoron.
Yes because men are perfect.
*rolls eyes*
8:17 AM
GAY guy said "A woman with a nice butt is an oxymoron" :)
I bet that's the #1 reason why POP was delayed
They would need only a few weeks to do complete voiceover.
I don't think that's as bad (Jennifer was not a dancer) but to have your entire voice dubbed in a movie by someone else is not good.
The good thing is that people don't know how Jake sounds and no one will notice - even WDW Kate thinks it is Jake's voice.
Idk 8:23. A few weeks for a general VO, ok. But to match an actor's voice and make it sound flawlessly not-VO'd.. more work and harder to do.
Idk if this is old and already been posted? Interview with Jerry B and Jordan Mechner about POP trailer. JoBlo
^^ No, wasn't posted before. Thanks!
Can you talk about the casting of Jake and just kind of what you saw in him that made him the right choice?
Bruckheimer: I always thought he was...I still think he is a true movie star...the guy is going to be a huge romantic hero. He's handsome. He's a wonderful actor. I always wanted to work with him. We got very lucky that he liked the material and he wanted to do it. There was no other choice. I mean, he was the guy that we went after.
Can you talk about some of the physical training he had to go through?
Bruckheimer: A lot! He really worked hard He worked for months. Before the movie started. He trained every single day. He rode bikes, he lifted weights, he had a very specific diet. He couldn't eat any fats. It was really a lot of protein, and all during filming he was working out. In one hundred and twenty degree heat. Jordan said he saw him after a long day, at seven at night, taking a jog. Running. So he kept it up through the whole thing. He had a trainer with him. Both here and in Morocco. And when we were filming in London, he wanted to make sure he kept his physical characteristics the way he wanted them to be.
a lot of protein
I bet. Jerry's!
the guy is going to be a huge romantic hero.
As long as he can keep up the bearding and straight image - right, Jerry?
Ewww!
I bet. Jerry's!
Ewww!
Does anybody even know the difference between "VoiceOver" and "dubbing"? The VoiceOver in PoP is only in the trailer - which is very common. There is no "dubbing" of Jake's actual voice in the trailer or the movie.
LOL you were right both times, 8:55/8:56 - the protein AND the bearding.. "Ewww!"
The tweet by OPM says "dubbing" not VO. IMO "voiceover" is when a character/person is narrating, like in a commercial or how Gemma is in the POP trailer. OTOH "dubbing" is enhancing or replacing.
Btw 9:00 #1, I disagree. IMO Jake's voice is being dubbed. Very very skillfully and barely perceptible, but for those of us who are into voices and sounds, and who have been following Jake's career and listening to him for the last 10 years, it's noticeable. Not obvious, but there is a difference and it's NOT due to voice coaching.
I would think that his voice being dubbed over is the last thing Jake would be worrying about. If POP bombs, it may be very bad for Jake. And if POP is a hit, then what? Jake makes another 2 or 3 POP sequels? Pirates didn't do that much career wise for it's stars. Orlando Bloom has no other movies and is only really known for Pirates. Keira Knightly really only does theme period movies in England that no one sees. The only real star is Johnny Depp and Jake is by no means the actor that Depp is. Also, Depp is not a tabloid star and doesn't let his personal life overshadow his work life. The biggest think people know about Jake for the last 2 years is that he is Reese's good looking boyfriend.
9:17 IA. Also, who would want to make 2 or 3 sequels, if they have to get bulked up and do all that shit training over again? Maybe Jake wouldn't mind, but if/when POP3 comes along he won't be a spring chicken anymore.
POP1: spring chicken
POP2: any cock'll doo
POP3: spent hen
Voice-over is a production technique where a non-diegetic voice is broadcast live or pre-recorded in radio, television, film, theatre and/or presentation. The voice-over may be spoken by someone who also appears on-screen in other segments or it may be performed by a specialist voice actor. Voice-over is also commonly referred to as "off camera" commentary.
Dubbing is the post-production process of recording and replacing voices on a motion picture or television soundtrack subsequent to the original shooting schedule. The term most commonly refers to the substitution of the voices of the actors shown on the screen by those of different performers, who may be speaking a different language.
"Dubbing" also describes the process of an actor's re-recording lines spoken during filming and which must be replaced to improve audio quality or reflect dialog changes. This process is called additional dialogue recording, or ADR for short.
There is no "dubbing" of Jake's actual voice in the trailer or the movie.
Check out first (longer) PoP trailer again, pay attention to, for example, 1:01 dialogue and tell us what you think.
the guy is going to be a huge romantic hero
Those lame scenes with Gemma won't help.
LOL! Franco is going to be on 30 Rock in a story line involving a fauxmance.
Franco head to 30 Rock
^^^
NBC declined to comment, but a Rock-solid insider tells me that Franco (playing himself) will be involved in a faux romance with Jane Krakowski’s Jenna — a relationship engineered by their respective agents. Sound familiar? It’s probably because this is the storyline Tina Fey floated by me at the Emmys way back in September.
”[Jenna gets] into a high-profile relationship with a movie star that is arranged by their agents,” Fey explained at the time (watch the video of our exchange below).
Franco (playing himself) will be involved in a faux romance with Jane Krakowski’s Jenna — a relationship engineered by their respective agents
That Franco guy sure likes to provoke!
...
Regardless, as absurd as the casting choice may be, I’m willing to suspend my disbelief and come to terms with it if the actor in question has charisma and believability beyond just the physical level. Alas, despite his shiny 12-pack abs rivaling that of King Leonidas, I just don’t buy Jake as a macho action hero. He’s neither bad @$$ or witty enough to carry off such a role IMO. His British accent is all right, it’s not as horrifying as I some have said, but that’s the least of his problem. Bruckheimer is probably hoping Jake would pull off a Johnny Depp, who’s able to elevate the campy Pirates series into a huge blockbuster. But Jake ain’t no Johnny, who doesn’t need abs of steel to have a magnetic screen presence.

Conspicuous Trailer of the Week: Prince of Persia
Interview with Jerry B and Jordan Mechner about POP trailer. JoBlo
"Bruckheimer and Mechner describe the film as LAWRENCE OF ARABIA with supernatural elements."
WTF, are they on drugs???
An inordinately complex man who has been labeled everything from hero, to charlatan, to sadist, Thomas Edward Lawrence blazed his way to glory in the Arabian desert, then sought anonymity as a common soldier under an assumed name. The story opens with the death of Lawrence in a motorcycle accident in London at the age of 47, then flashbacks to recount his adventures: as a young intelligence officer in Cairo in 1916, he is given leave to investigate the progress of the Arab revolt against the Turks in World War I. In the desert, he organizes a guerrilla army and--for two years--leads the Arabs in harassing the Turks with desert raids, train-wrecking and camel attacks. Eventually, he leads his army northward and helps a British General destroy the power of the Ottoman Empire.
I wonder if Franco is dropping all these hints/setting things up to eventually come out, maybe when the Ginsuburg film comes out.
I'm not saying Franco is straight, but I think he just likes to have fun (fauxmance storyline) and do what he wants to do (gay college subjects).
Bruckheimer and Mechner describe the film as LAWRENCE OF ARABIA with supernatural elements.
They had a lot of sand, we have a lot of sand. Duh!
A gay New York couple was kicked out of a taxi cab earlier this week for hugging, the New York Post reports.
"Paul Bruno and his partner hailed the yellow cab Monday night at 13th Street and First Avenue and sat close, Bruno told The Post. But the driver, identified by Bruno and city records as Medhat Mohamed, was apparently appalled by their shows of affection -- and pulled the cab over two blocks into the trip. 'You guys have to get out of the taxi! Hugging is not allowed in here!' the driver said, according to Bruno. Stunned, the lovebirds exited and watched the taxi peel away. 'I was shocked,' said Bruno, 27, who called the act 'discrimination against homosexuals.' The encounter took place at 10:20 p.m. after the couple attended a birthday dinner and hailed a ride to East Harlem. 'To pull over after two blocks and be so blatantly intolerant is outrageous,' Bruno said."
The Taxi and Limousine Commission says it is looking into it: "It would be considered a 'service refusal.' The first offense is a $200 to $350 fine, the second a $350 to $500 fine and a 30-day suspension, and the third strike is license revocation."

Photos by Mario Testino. I like Nat's pics better then the ones Mario shot of Michelle for Vogue.
It's funny how die hard fans claim Natalie didn't have a nose job. It looks totally refined (narrowed with two dimples on each side). She's very photogenic though. Great photo shoot.
Bruckheimer: .. He couldn't eat any fats.
I guess Jerry never saw that pic of Jake at a cafe eating ice cream in Morocco.

Looking through twitter comments re. POP, Jake's status as RW's boyfriend doesn't seem to make him less attractive to the ladies.
I think most of those people don't know about Jake's "relationship".
The dagger in POP looks like a golden penis.

Hi Reese.
That's a good thing! lol
Let's be honest, there is no way to make any dagger look cool or interesting.

What actor's relationship or "relationship" status has to do with being attractive or not?
What actor's relationship or "relationship" status has to do with being attractive or not?
Obviously nothing.

Only people interested in an actor care or are curious about his relationship status.
Dubbed?! Like Lina Lamont in Singing in the Rain? LMAO.
Phoebe Dinsmore: [voice coach] Repeat after me - Tah, Tey, Tee, Toe, Too.
Lina Lamont: Tah, Tey, Tye, Tow, Tyo.
Phoebe Dinsmore: No, no, no Miss Lamont, Round tones, round tones. Now, let me hear you read your line.

Jake is SO pretty to look at. But this movie looks like an over-the-top special effects mess. Can't we just have a movie with him rubbing suntan lotion all over his body?
Yes, please!
Professor Henry Higgins: All right, Eliza, say it again.
Eliza Doolittle: The rine in spine sties minely in the pline.
Professor Henry Higgins: [sighs] The *rain* in *Spain* stays *mainly* in the *plain*.
Eliza Doolittle: Didn't ah sy that?
Professor Henry Higgins: No, Eliza, you didn't "sy" that, you didn't even "say" that. Now every night before you get into bed, where you used to say your prayers, I want you to say "The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain" fifty times. You'll get much further with the Lord if you learn not to offend His ears.

Who will be on the top of B.O. SATC2 or POP? Any bets?
SATC2, sequels can be huge.
^^Sometimes they disappoint though.
Some bad movies make a lot of money, some flop. There are no guarantees.
We're buying PG POP tickies to sneak in and see the R rated sex sex sexy SATC2!
Maybe if we have time after SATC2 we'll go to the POP theater and see it.
Maybe.
SATC2 will be R rated? Is that confirmed?
Do you remember when I posted just a few days ago, that closeted actor George Eads was going to be on the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson to announce he was engaged?
You forgot to mention that George didn't wear the ring on the show :)
link
SATC2 will be R rated? Is that confirmed?
SATC MPAA Rating: Rated R for strong sexual content, graphic nudity and language.
^^Do you really think SATC2 will be PG?!
Why not? It's about time that those women start behaving like ladies! :)
SATC 5 years after they all get married and have kids. Rated G. Because "Once you say 'I do' you don't."
Would you play with a man whose plaything is so damn stupid?
^^ double entendre from Ted? Is he talking about the Lego toy or *something* else? And what does he mean by "stupid" if he is talking about *something* else.
Would You Do...?
I hope you aren't thinking what I think you're thinking!
What are you thinking?
Is he talking about the Lego toy or *something* else?
I think Ted wasn't talking about a person when he said "plaything is so damn stupid" - Ted is nice :)
What are you thinking?
That you'll use everything to trash me! *sulking*
Life can’t always be about having everything you want, when you want it. Sometimes you are limited to window shopping, to the quickest of glances, to imagined passion. Here’s a list of hot *openly* gay actors who will never long for our feminine touch, yet still. Still we lust and admire (and respect!) many of these excellent spokesmen for the gay community. So, stare and admire!
Edit: the source changed their list - ZQ is now listed as Maybe too soon, Maybe never
Edit2: They actually took out ZQ from the list!
1. Zachary Quinto
Where to start? He made a sexy villain (Sylar from Heroes), he made a sexy Spock (who thought anyone would ever say that – sorry Nimoy-ites), he is a yoga enthusiast, and he walks an adorable Irish Wolfhound/Airedale Terrier dog all over Silver Lake in a series of increasingly adorable hipster boy outfits. He has exacerbated his untouchable sensuality by being chummy and handsy and sweet with co-star Chris Pine in many, many Star Trek related interviews.
Cute quote: “I also did a lot of hand exercises to make sure my fingers could do the Vulcan salute and that’s no lie actually. I would rubber-band my pinky and my ring finger together and drive around L.A. like this because I couldn’t do it at first.”
2. Luke McFarlane
Many of you may know McFarlane as Scotty Wandell on ABC’s Brothers and Sisters, on which he plays an openly gay man married to one of the “brothers” of the show, played by Matthew Rhys. McFarlane came out to the media in 2008 and then promptly said this wonderful thing:
“…in portraying gay people, the more we realize it’s just like portraying anybody else and, gay marriage, it’s not about two people being gay, it’s about two people who love each other and who have decided to commit to each other for the exact same reasons any other couple would get married.”
3. Robert Gant
Gant is mostly famous for being on the American version of Queer as Folk for Showtime, as HIV-positive Ben Bruckner who crusades against “Prop 14″ inside the show, a TV equivalent of many controversial anti-gay marriage bills. His advocacy goes beyond the fictional world though. Gant was recognized and honored by The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force (NGLTF) in 2003, and was given the National Equality Award by the Human Rights Commission in 2006. And, of course, Google him and you’ll get pages and pages of crazy tight abs photos. But remember the advocacy, ladies!
Amazing quote: “For me, the litmus test to know whether or not I’m doing the right thing is to examine whether my decisions are love-based or fear-based. I think outing people is fear based, the fear that if we don’t out them, it will make things harder for all of us. It’s important to treat people with love.”
4. Neil Patrick Harris
Well. Doy. Doogie grew up and he’s cute and outspoken now. If you haven’t seen Dr. Horrible’s Sing a Long Blog then you’re missing out. If you haven’t seen that poster of NPH for Harold and Kumar 2, where have you been? And I don’t like CBS comedies, but the idea of a gay man playing a straight dude p*#syhound is priceless.
On shaking the whole Doogie thing: “All I have to do is hope that more chapters go by where I’m playing other roles, and Doogie will become an arrow in a quiver, as opposed to some albatross that I worry about.”
5. John Barrowman
Sci-fi nerd girls know who this bloke is! He plays Captain Jack (not Sparrow) on the newest incarnation of Doctor Who, and its subsequent spin-off show, Torchwood. Torchwood is kind of the X-Files of the UK, but with waaaaaay more hot gay grappling and sex with aliens (hey, stuff happens). Barrowman bears a strong resemblance to Tom Cruise…except Barrowman hops up and down on sofas about his gay lover of many years, whom he married in 2006. When Captain Jack taught Gwen how to shoot a guy in Season 1 of Torchwood, I had a TV-related orgasm.
Best Barrowman quote: “It’s about time we had a gay man playing a hero. What I do in my bedroom is just the same as what everybody else does; I just do it with a man.”
6. Darryl Stephens
I’m ashamed at myself that it took five entries before I broke the color barrier in this post, especially since Darryl Stephens of Noah’s Arc definitely belongs on this list. You can also see more of Stephens’ excellent *body* of work in Q. Allan Brocka’s indie drama Boy Culture. Hopefully LOGO will pick up more episodes of Noah’s Arc, so that gay actors of color can get some attention and respect too.
Darryl’s best quote: “Hopefully when more shows start to represent characters from the black, gay population, hopefully they won’t count on this show to represent so much of themselves and they’ll just appreciate the show for what it is.”
7. Russell Tovey
When consulting my gay bros for their favorite open actors, and this man (former star of the History Boys – both on stage and screen) popped up a few times. And this is how he was described: “Oh he’s the cute werewolf in Being Human, so he turns into a wolf and his clothes always come off!” Well, well. Besides THAT – Tovey has ears that adorably stick out like tea cup handles and he’s been on the aforementioned awesome Doctor Who, once again proving that being a gay actor on TV in the UK seems like less of a detriment.
Good gravy! alert: “I have a nice bum, so I’ve been told. It’s very smooth and pert. Would I do full-frontal? Yeah, if it was right.”
8. Cheyenne Jackson
I left one of the pretties for last! He has a pretty name and is quite, quite pretty himself. Especially in his underpants. Jackson has sang backup for Vanessa Williams and Liza Minnelli and has appeared up and down Broadway in many stage productions (Xanadu, All Shook Up, Damn Yankees). And to finish this off in an entirely professional fashion, he looks damn good in his underpants.
You tell 'em, Cheyenne: “Chris Sieber and I were talking about this. Every time they mention either of us in the press, it’s always “openly gay Christopher Sieber” and “openly gay Cheyenne Jackson.” It’s a little reductive and, after a while, it’s like, 'Yawn'".
ONTD
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 doable bod itself, minus overdone Fabio trappings). But then we saw J.G.'s Lego action figure. 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?
Would you play with a man whose plaything is so damn stupid?
I was thinking that the "plaything" was Jake's penis since Ted called it his "little Toothy Tile" in a BV (but changed it later). "Stupid" in regards to his cock could mean a lot of things.
I'm NOT stupid!
Just easy.

Exclusive photos of Natalie Portman, Jake Gyllenhaal and Tobey Maguire from 'Brothers'
Jim Sheridan (In America, The Boxer) is back at the box office this season with his war-themed drama Brothers. Based on Susanne Bier’s film of the same name, Brothers centers on a young man (Jake Gyllenhaal) who comforts his older brother’s wife (Natalie Portman) and children after the brother (Tobey Maguire) goes missing in Afghanistan. Check out some exclusive photos of these young and talented actors. The film opens on Dec. 4. (More photos, and the trailer, after the jump).

There are other movies Bergstein's companies did finance that might be releasable, including "Nailed," a $33 million production directed by David O. Russell and starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Jessica Biel and Tracy Morgan. "Nailed" was shut down several times during production by SAG and the DGA, but Bergstein resolved the concerns of those guilds.
Matthew Rhodes, a producer on "Nailed," said there are funds for postproduction, and "Nailed" will be offered to domestic distributors and international buyers next year at Cannes. He called the movie "fantastic" and "wonderful."
...
Hollywood Reporter
I felt that Nailed would be the only good of the three. Bro's won't be all that, POP = mindless popcorn fun. I predict it and I'm pretty certain it'll be like that.
I'm much more curious about Nailed than PoP :)
^^I think you're not the only one.
Will there be chemistry between Jake and Jessica Biel?
Maybe they don't need chemistry for wacky comedy :)
The studio had the first of a few preview screenings for selected press on the Fox Lot this morning to gauge reaction to the music-themed drama and this writer was lucky enough to get an invite. Most recently slated for a March release (with an expected Sundance Film Festival premiere), the picture will likely move to mid to late December for an expected awards season push. It's unclear what all the other journalists in attendance thought, but this pundit sees a new Oscar contender on the horizon and an almost sure thing best actor nod for star Jeff Bridges.
Written, produced and directed by Scott Cooper (who has had more success as an actor than filmmaker to this point), "Crazy Heart" is an adaptation of Thomas Cobb's novel that centers on down on his luck country singing star Bad Blake (Bridges) who has escaped into alcohol after his career dramatically falls behind that of his former protege Tommy Sweet (think a dark haired Kenny Chesney played superbly by Colin Farrell). Blake's life seems to turn around when he falls for a small town reporter (Maggie Gyllenhaal), but as expected, old habits die hard. How the film rebounds from that arc is what makes it so intriguing.
...
As for the rest of the cast, Gyllenhaal's emotional performance isn't her absolute best work, but she has an excellent chance at a Best Actress nomination if she can qualify. Considering Paramount is campaigning "Air's" Vera Farminga in that category and she's in "Air" just as much as Gyllenhaal is in "Crazy Heart" it just makes too much sense than pushing her into the ultra-competitive Best Supporting Actress field.

It's no secret that we here at PopWrap HQ not only think Natalie Portman is the cat's pajamas, but that she designed, stitched and ironed said sleepwear. Oh, and there's a picture of her face stenciled over the heart (and Kristen Stewart's on the trap door).
So it should be no surprise that these new pics of her in the winter 2009/10 V Magazine have us falling all over ourselves. The hair is divine, the clothes are phenom and the quotes are pretty dang terrific also.
I've picked my favorite soundbites and placed them in the gallery below -- but the one that I had to highlight here is in regards to that little lesbian sex scene I told you about a few months back. "It's not raunchy -- it's extreme," she tells the magazine. So now we can update the previous description to include, "ecstasy-induced hungry aggressive angry EXTREME sex."
They should just put that on the poster.
Natalie Portman said what?!?
ecstasy-induced hungry aggressive angry EXTREME sex
Wow! lol
Is Z.Quinto openly gay???!! Since when? And if so, how come i missed that news??? ;DD
Uh, dummies, of course the producer of a film is going to call it "fantastic" and "wonderful."
NEVER!
Is Z.Quinto openly gay???!! Since when?
Zachary is as good as openly gay! :)

Sorry, but if it were for publicity you would see them out at hockey games kissing on the big screen. Or out to dinners holding hands.
Bitch Back!
Not sure I understand what Ted is saying about Brokeback Nichols.

* Bitch-Back! Is Reese Using Jake?"
Wonder why when Ted never mentioned Jake.
Ted's response was rather clipped, blunt and non-evasive. Maybe Austin isn't the boyfriend after all. It would be funny to find out that after all of this time, people have been speculating in the wrong direction.
This B+/A- list closeted television actress from a hit network drama was having drama of her own in the bathroom as her girlfriend was complaining that she felt left out and wanted to meet our actresses friends. Our actress kept her head on a swivel while trying to keep the conversation as quiet as possible. The girlfriend is very, very young and a gorgeous blonde.

"isn't the boyfriend" = Jake and Austin broke up?

I don't see how that would be possible, Ted's Grey Goose is Austin.

Lists last 7 days of Bitch Back! (but not necessarily in date order).
The last 7 days of Bitch Back! titles all related to today's questions except for Nicole and OTH/Austin.
IMO it can go either way: listing the "Is Reese Using Jake?" edition goes with the last 7 days method, but it conflicts with the main topic going with today's questions (i.e. Ted could have posted the question next week without having the accompanying "Is Reese Using Jake?"). IDK.

Do you and Jake still suck each other's cocks in parking lots or has fame ruined that?
Great questions, I hope you are sending them to Meriam Bouarrouj!

Previous two Bitch-Back posts have "Is Reese Using Jake?" links too, but they both mention Toothy so we're back to square one :)
Got a question for Austin?
How do you feel about Jake's bearding?
Natalie Portman on "V" magazine cover
looking good Nat!
Natalie Portman adopts an androgynous look for the cover of V Magazine’s December issue. Mario Testino snapped her. She is now 28 years old, was in London last month, where she spoke to the magazine about her first-ever sex scene in the upcoming war drama, Brothers, where she plays the wife of a marine, played by Tobey Maguire.
“….Being a sexual object when you’re a kid is really uncomfortable. After [debuting in 1994’s] ‘The Professional,’ I was already getting creepy letters.”
link
OMG, there will be sex in Brothers???
Probably married sex. Like when Tobey's character gets home and he feels so PTSD and he can't get it up. OR maybe the other extreme where he gets aggressive and butt-fuck rapes her.
How old is Natalie? Oh.. 28. n/m
New "Brothers" trailer
Sex sells!
Looks like that Nat's "first-ever sex scene" is with Jake.
Or.....by looking at this new Brothers trailer maybe Tommy (Jake) and Grace (Natalie) get it on!
"Brothers" Rated R
WHAT?!? People who watched original movie said that Tommy and Grace only kiss.
Natalie was 14 when she did The Professional, her character wasn't exactly "sexual", she just played a little girl in danger who shared a strange,loving, yet platonic relationship with a man just as fucked up as her character was.
She looked like a 11 years old in that movie, obviously she is a late developer but at 14 i think she knew she wasn't playing a Laura Ingalls type of character...or at least her parents should have knew it.
Is that Jake?
Natalie is 5' 3" - 5'5", I expect her legs to look shorter compared to Jake's leg.
at 14 i think she knew she wasn't playing a Laura Ingalls type of character...or at least her parents should have knew it
14 is very young, I can understand why she felt uncomfortable when strangers expressed sexual feelings for her.
Looks like that Nat's "first-ever sex scene" is with Jake.
That's kind of incestous, lol.
I bet the 13 year old girl who was anally raped by Polanski (whose petition Natalie signed) felt "uncomfortable" too during and after "it".
It is possible that the girl wasn't raped.
In the interview, Portman says: "I'm not opposed to sexuality or nudity in a film, but I'm very opposed to pornography sites and you're pretty much giving them material if you do any of that." She's referring to a common trend of an actor or actress doing a nude scene in a movie, and then photos and videos of it are plastered across the Web shortly after.
Portman says the decision of whether to do nudity or not is "always a big dilemma for me."
The reason she's so outspoken about baring all is because of her sex scene in the upcoming movie 'Brothers.' In the film, she reportedly has a lesbian sex scene with co-star Mila Kunis.
Still, don't call it raunchy to Portman's face. It's "not raunchy - it's extreme," the actress tells V.
Portman also tells the magazine that despite the reliance on plastic surgery for many actresses, she "would hope not" to have any. "As actresses approach 40, it starts becoming really, really difficult," she admits.
Natalie Portman Is V for, Um... V
Enough of this pretentious little twat, PLEASE!!!!!!
Hey, it's Brothers promotion time :)
Why doesn't Jake do any promotion?
I love when you miss me!
Why doesn't Jake do any promotion?
He is - check out November 04, 2009 3:21 PM post - Sesame Street promo video.
The sex scene with Mila Kunis is not in "Brothers" --it's in a film Natalie just shot with Mila that's about rival ballerinas.
oh,yeah,that will do it... pffff.
^^Now I realize that the Sesame Street appearance is probably part of Brothers pomo work.
The sex scene with Mila Kunis is not in "Brothers"
Did you watch new "Brothers" trailer and Nat's sex scene with Jake?
^^
So, who was on top? ;)
Natalie / Grace :)
oh,yeah,that will do it... pffff.
Jake looks very perky around that octopus!
Would You Do…James Franco in Daytime Duds?
OK, after our pals over at Watch With Kristin confirmed James Franco was indeed set to appear in the daytime soap General Hospital, we were all for this countercasting.
It's a ballsy move for a Golden Globe winner to backtrack, but this is the kinda actor who really loves his craft, ya know?
After seeing these shots of James on the set of G.H., though, we're so disappointed! Aren't soap operas about crazy overly dramatic plots with...uh, lots of sex? Where's shirtless James Franco?
Obviously J.F. looks doable in the dark suit, but come on. This is his red carpet look. We'd tune in to this daytime soap to see a new side of James. And a nearly naked, or at least more sexily outfitted, side wouldn't hurt, either. Calling Dr. Jimmy Feel-Good, already!
But would you call in sick just to catch this dude in daytime duds?
Peep some other questionable hotties in our Would You Do...? gallery!
Do-Me Meter
Is that Jake?
Natalie is 5' 3" - 5'5", I expect her legs to look shorter compared to Jake's leg.
Maybe in the scene she's giving him head or licking his balls.
opps that's my fantasy.
Now I realize that the Sesame Street appearance is probably part of Brothers pomo work.
Did you mean to say promo or porno?!
What bj has to do with Jake's and Nat's hights? lol
Did you mean to say promo or porno?!
There is no sex tape!
ONTD - New 'Brothers' trailer
ONTD comment:
I can't believe they are really going to keep in that scene with that 7 yr old saying "You're just mad because mommy would rather sleep with Uncle whoever."
What bj has to do with Jake's and Nat's hights? lol
Watch the new trailer. Notice how their feet and calves are next to each other on the bed. Read 4:08's question: "Is that Jake? Natalie is 5' 3" - 5'5", I expect her legs to look shorter compared to Jake's leg."
LOL how many 7 year olds would say "would rather"
I did watch the new trailer.
There is obviously no "bj" in that scene and I'm still puzzled by Jake's (short) calves.
There is obviously no "bj" in that scene
7:14, you don't get humor do you.
Maybe in the scene she's giving him head or licking his balls.

Brothers new trailer screen caps at IHJ.
Guess which one I downloaded ASAP.
7:14, you don't get humor do you.
I do, but I don't find that sex scene sexy or inspiring :)
fap
7:38, you really DON'T get it. It's ok.
OK, please explain what I don't get.
7:42, already did. And you didn't get that. LOL... So n/m.
Does it look like Jake's "Tommy" chest was manscaped? I don't mind, just wondering. That treasure trail and his lower belly and where his finger is..I think I just wet myself.

IHJ - Brothers - Trailer (version 2)
My panties are wet.

Not sure, but "Brothers" chest hair is longer than PoP version, lol.

I bet it was this one!
No it was this one. Look at that sexy butt!
^^^ Look at that mess! lol
LOL
The mess on the counter or the mess that is Jake's low-slung ass jeans?!
IHJ - Brothers - Trailer (version 2)
Where are sexy feet pictures???
I bet it was this one!
Oh yeah.. nothin like Monkey Jake with a Duh expression in a beanie. Woohoo!
The mess on the counter or the mess that is Jake's low-slung ass jeans?!
That mess on the counter of course!
Where are sexy feet pictures???
Maybe IHJ felt they weren't "Jake" enough to post. OTOH they've had shitloads of front-and-center Bitchface pics where Jake is a gnat so knows what the IHJ mindset is.
My panties are wet.
My panties are dry, but I love Jake's hair in Brothers.
"Jake's low-slung ass jeans"
He looks like he has a TV between his legs.
"I love Jake's hair in Brothers."
Which hair? Chest, trail, head, arm..
While I think that Brothers looks like a good movie, I honestly think that it's a little to heavy of a subject matter right now. It's coming out the beginning of Dec. and we have American soldiers dying in Afghanistan. I really don't want to go to see a movie about a missing soldier, the effects it has on his family and the effects it has on the soldier when he comes home. It's depressing and to serious so near the holidays and when the reality in the Middle East and our troops is so bleak.
Jake's hairdo :)
Shit, we have soldiers dying in Fort Hood Texas.
:(

Different release date wouldn't change much and December is "for Oscar consideration" month, so ...
ONTD Brothers trailer comment:
My mom and I house sit for a couple in Los Alamos, NM who own a house that's across the street from the house where part of this movie was shot. I was in college a couple of hours away at the time of filming, so I only caught about one day of the movie trailers and crew while I was on a school break, but I heard JGyll was pretty cool to the locals. I wish I'd been able to meet him because he seems so intelligent and down to earth.
