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.

Stars Sing "Sunny Days."
Jake Gyllenhaal, Christina Applegate, Kobe Bryant, Nancy O'Dell, and Cedric the Entertainer celebrate Sesame Street's 40th Season by singing "Sunny Days."
ONTD - Jake sings!
Too bad it's not a movie about Natalie's character going missing in Afghanistan.
How about all three of them go missing?
LOL, bad fans!
Kobe's a better singer than Jake.
Jake's deep tone at the end was definitely dubbed in. LOL
He looks like he has a TV between his legs.
Jake should hire Jennifer Lopez's personal trainer specialized in butt training :)
Some comments on ONTD about Brothers that strike me as possibly true:
I feel like this whole cast would go over much better in 2005.
i think you just hit the nail on the head.
Yep, which saying that is only 4 years ago really speaks volumes about these three's careers
At least Jake is aging better than Tobey. Tobey used to have a nice head of thickish hair and a young sexy face a la Donnie Darko. Now look at him.
So do the kids in Brothers start calling Jake's character "Uncle Daddy"?!
Sam's cock used to curve more towards the left.
You guys had the same doctor circumcise you, didn't you? The notches are exactly alike.
Your tongue flick-and-swirl is so much better than what your brother tried to do.
Do you want me to rim you? Sam used to love it.
I used to gag on Sam's too. Blech
LOL :)
Had a blast interviewing Austin Nichols today! Very interesting and smart guy! Interview out tomorrow!!!

A-ha!
Tobey used to have a nice head of thickish hair and a young sexy face a la Donnie Darko.
Really? I would never ever use word sexy to describe Tobey Maguire :)
Would you rather...be Hugh Jackman's hand or Zac Efron's apple?
I would love to lend them a hand!

Legendary author Annie Proulx is to donate an early draft of her classic gay short story Brokeback Mountain to New York’s public library.
Legendary author Annie Proulx is to donate an early draft of her classic gay short story Brokeback Mountain to New York’s public library. Proulx, 74, who will donate the draft along with other written pieces including numerous diaries and manuscripts said it was an “honour” to have her work housed in the world famous institution.
The early draft shows that the story, which was later adapted into an Oscar winning hot film starring the late Heath Ledger, had early working titles such as Bulldust Mountain and Swill-Swallow Mountain. The writer who won the 1994 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction with novel The Shipping News noted the “odd sense of balance” in storing her work in the city, when so much of it is set in rural American locations.
Brokeback Mountain, which tells the story of two men fall in love after meeting in the Wyoming countryside, was originally published in The New Yorker in 1997. The story was later published in book form and has since become a cult classic among gay and straight audiences alike.

Bareback Mountain :)
I notice that the article says the movie starred the late Heath Ledger, but no mention about Jake. Maybe he has accomplished his goal with Reeke and has distanced himself from not only his fans, but the movie as well.
Jake can't distance himself from Brokeback Mountain, but Pink Paper writer could be pissed off with Jake.

WHAT?!? People who watched original movie said that Tommy and Grace only kiss.
I remember IMDb comments that, based on the trailer, "Brothers" script is the same as the original.
I wonder what else did they change in the original Brothers script.
I wish James Franco was on One Life To Live instead.

^^^ For us who can't watch videos - what's that video clip about? *fingers crossed for gay sex*
That clip is the Big Gay Wedding the show had recently where the main gay couple, Kyle and Fish, finally got together at the end. :)
No gay sex although there is a spoiler that they actually got to film a love scene. OLTL lets their gays actually be gay, unlike another soap (As The World Turns) that has to have serious discussions on if their gay characters can touch each other on the shoulder... Sadly that isn't an exaggeration either, as one of the actors gave an interview about how ridiculous it is.
General Hospital is just about the mob. JF chose the wrong soap!
I can't play gay all the time!
I asked...PR won't let me!
What? Franco, WTF is wrong with you?
Thanks 9:53 AM!
Who Is Toothy Tile? Here Are 12 Guys He's Not!
The hunt's been on for as long as Angelina Jolie's been working men—and women. Closeted quasi-hunky movie star Toothy Tile has legions of folks wondering who he is, and he's become our biggest Blind Vice superstar.
While Toothy's busy—chatting up fellow not-out gay stars or apparently trying to go straight—we're gonna help the guessing game along. In more of a, uh, back-door kinda way.
See, we're going to tell you fab detectives who Toothy isn't!
Behold our People Who Are Not Toothy Tile gallery! We'll start updating this more often so you sexy sniffers can see the fellas who most definitely are not the erstwhile closeted T.T. And keep the guesses coming!
Get clues to his identity in our People Who Are Not Toothy Tile gallery!
Awful Truth
Any mixed emotions about letting people in the industry know you are gay?
It was something I thought about. Maybe I should have thought about it more, but it was like I wanted to put myself first before my career. I did not want to go through life having to deal with extra issues when I am dealing with trying to get a job. So I went, "OK, this is me. Either you like or you don't. Hopefully you can accept it, and if you can't, bummer. If you can hire me, great." It was that sort of thing.

Maybe I should have thought about it more
Duh!
So I guess we need to go through the text of the People who are not Toothy line by line, word by word looking for Toothy clues. Like we don't already know who he is. Good for newcomers to the scene though. They don't get why everyone knows it's Jake because they missed half the clues over the past 2 years.
Over the past 4,5 years :)

Natalie Portman is fresh-faced at the book launch of To India With Love: From New York To Mumbai in New York City on Wednesday (November 4).
The 28-year-old actress, who posed with author Waris Ahluwalia at the event, showed her support for the book, which is a scrapbook of personal stories and photos to support the victims of the Mumbai attacks of November 2008.
Earlier today, Entertainment Weekly released exclusive photos of Natalie and costars Jake Gyllenhaal and Tobey Maguire in Brothers. The film, which opens December 4, is about a woman whose husband goes missing in Afghanistan and how she turns to her brother-in-law for support
JJared
she turns to her brother-in-law for support
Is "support" supposed to mean sex?! ("Jake is very supportive," says Reese)
Jake supports Reese's career, Tommy supports Grace in every way :)

New Truth, Lies & Ted Next Week!
It's the first time in a year and a half, so please be kind (I know you won't, but whatever) about this week's break for Truth, Lies & Ted. Good news is E!'s training a fab new producer after the departure of our illustrious Brian Walmsley, who will be much missed.
But starting next week, Truth will be even more deliciously and tattletale Truthful, with some added dish departments. Call it a "new moon" for a new bitch, if you will.
I've also been filming...
...for a secret Brit TV show, and then there's the latest Twi junket, not to mention keeping up with all that K.Stew nonsense, so it's been really nutso!
But we'll return to our regularly scheduled sass next Friday, by which time I'm sure the world's stupidass press will have Kristen engaged to Taylor (or ex Michael, don't you know), so I just can't wait.
See you then!
E! Online
Dear Ted:
Am I the only one that found it ironic when Natalie Portman basically compared eating meat to condoning rape, considering that as a signer of the Roman Polanski petition she actually is condoning rape? I like her as an actress but that kind of crap is seriously making me rethink.
—Bridget
Dear Pissed Off Portman:
Now, I love N.P., but I'm not a fan of some of her beliefs. Obviously, the comparison exists, and it's not a great one. Maybe she should say she's sorry like I did.
Bitch-Back! Will the Real Natalie Please Step Up?
... like I did link:
Many of you are pissed about my Morning Piss yesterday, and rightly so. When I reread it, I realized my ranting about Nicole Kidman's Congressional address on violence against women could be read as to have slighted the concern for these horrible crimes (ones Kidman herself had taken the pains to visit around the world) and that was certainly not my intent.
I apologize most sincerely to those I offended.

So it looks like Johnny Depp's going to be in a movie with Angelina Jolie. Just wondering how solid you thought the Johnny Depp-Vanessa Paradis relationship was? Thanks!

Pretty solid, actually. Lets hope it's solid enough, though.

Brothers press screening?
Well if Jake is going to be in LA this weekend for Brothers premiere, we can be sure to have a weekend full of Reeke photo ops if not a Reeke first time red carpet. It's been awhile since we have had a Reeke photo op and the Chin must be in withdrawl. Since she is filming in LA, I can't imagine her passing up the chance for a Reeke weekend. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that she may even pull out all the stops-coffee/shopping run, jogging/gym run and a meal out with the kids. So sad that Jake's first movie out in 2 years and he would allow the Chin to overshadow it.
4 weeks before the release date is too early for Brothers premiere, there will be no red carpet this weekend.
I think Jake would prefer reeeking in LA over entertaining the beard in Pittsburgh or NYC.
I still think it would be pretty stupid and sad if he allows the Chin to overshadow his movie's release. Since Reese has to make everything about her, she would turn Jake's movie premiere into a Reeke event if he lets her.
Of course it would be stupid, but reeking was always more about promoting Reese than promoting Jake.
Sounds like a screening, don't get you undies in a knot. I would thik you would have more importsnt things to foam at the mouth about.
In the meantime you can watch corny stepdad Jake in the Sesame Street videos!

Sesame Street: Word on the Street - Jake and Octopus
November 15
At 8 p.m., the theater will screen “Erased James Franco”—here’s where those movies you watched pay off! Frankly, I’m a bit unclear on what this is about, but according to the Castro website, “Multi-media artist Carter presents a contemporary actor—James Franco—stripped of the sureties of his craft and transformed into an almost sculptural object … ‘Erased James Franco’ finds the actor covering banal scenes from his own films, as well as segments of Julianne Moore’s character in Todd Haynes’s ‘Safe’ and Rock Hudson’s in John Frankenheimer’s ‘Seconds.’” I still don’t really get it, but it sounds really interesting!
After the movie, SFMOMA associate curator Frank Smigiel, artist Carter, and JAMES FRANCO (caps for emphasis) will be on hand to answer your burning questions. James will also be accepting marriage proposals (not true).
James Franco to Appear at SFMOMA, Castro Theatre
It's been nice seeing Jake promoting himself with Sesame Street and the trailers. But yeah, you know Reese is probably as jittery as a junkie without a fix, and all the good will and positive feelings Jake has brought out in people not only here but at ONTD, etc., will go right out the window.
ITA 8:56pm. It's been nice seeing Jake solo on the set and taking pics with fans and seeing him in NYC with his dad. It gave us a taste of what used to be. You know the next Reeke photo op will be an over the top to compensate for the lack of photo ops. You're right, Reese must be itching for the next Reeke photo op.
Having info about what Franco is doing - post-grad studies, poetry, theatre, hip slumming (GH), various weird/interesting films - next to Jake's utterly bland choices is quite revealing.
Franco is also doing a stint on 30 Rock. Does this boy sleep?
I wonder if Jake and James F are still in touch.
Apparently not :)

Sesame Street: Word on the Street - Jake and Octopus
ONTD - What's the word on the street?
I don't think so, and I think they never really were in touch."
Really? They seemed to be very friendly at the Oscars three years ago; plus, there were sightings of both of them hanging out together after the Oscars.
Sightings of Jake and Franco hanging out together in 2006?
I still want to know why I can't eat the baby.
#3 & 4- Apparently this former B list movie actor and now probably a C, although with close to A name recognition has been scrambling because his beard relationship with his C list movie actress could be sinking quickly. The reason? Our actor thought he was on a private beach when he decided to lay out naked with his boyfriend. The next thing he knew, there were groups of tourists from a nearby hotel walking by and he is scared that someone recognized him and took pictures.
Ent Lawyer
Maybe it's wishful thinking lol but I was wondering if the BI might be Reeke. Jake flirted with A list when he was nommed in BBMt but IMO he was B list with Zodiac and Rendition, then sunk lower to C by making nothing for 2 years, then doing Nailed (that never even got released). He might go up to B or A with POP. Reese IMO was A list with her Oscar but is C list now because of her awful screeching in Rendition. Now she can get only crap romcoms.
Like I said it's probably my wishful thinking but wouldn't that be something if it was Jake laying out nekkid with Austin on the beach. Austin lives near the beach in NC/SC, right?
Sadly no way is it Jake. Probably Hayden C.
Is Rachel Bilson known as a "movie actress" ?!

Austin Nichols talks 'One Tree Hill', movies, and architecture!
2009 has been quite a year for Austin Nichols. He became a series regular on the popular long-time drama 'One Tree Hill', began work on a new film, and even developed some additional career aspirations for himself outside of the entertainment industry. He discussed that and much more with me including what he would like to see happen with his role of Julian on 'One Tree Hill'.
Q-How has filming been for you lately?
A-Fun, it's been busy. I'm shooting a movie as well right now so I've been in between LA and Wilmington a lot. The movie is called 'Beautiful Boy', it's with Michael Sheen. It's just an incredible piece of writing about a husband and wife who find out their son was involved in a campus shooting. I play a writer who writes about the tragedy. I'm really happy about it.
Q-This is your first full season on 'One Tree Hill', how has that been like for you?
A-It's great. It's exciting. It's different from being a guest. You feel more responsible for the show as a whole, for the final in product, as a regular. But it's been fun. As far as I can tell, this season there has been really great material and better than any season before it so it's been really cool.
Q-Had you ever seen the show before joining it?
A-No I hadn't. I really didn't watch that much television and I think the show had a certain audience, younger. But I think the audience is actually growing now. The show is kind of older and more mature and not just limited to a young audience anymore. My parents and all my friends now are watching the show and they are in love with it, and telling all their friends to watch it. So that's been cool. It's been cool to see that sort of a reaction to a show that's been on for that long. And to see that kind of an audience grow and branch out. And people love to see stuff they can relate to. There's heart in it. It's real stuff.
Q-Why do you think the Julian and Brooke relationship and storyline has stood out so much?
A-For some reason there's this it factor. When Brooke and Julian, and Sophia and I get together there's just a great chemistry that happens. There's just this really great energy there when we work together.
Q-In the most recent episode, Julian said he's not sure if he will ever be ready for kids, what do you think about that? Would you like to see Julian as a dad?
A-Yeah I absolutely would. I think it would be fun to explore as an actor and go through sort of what that's like. I think any guy at Julian's age is grappling with the same thing because when you get out of college having a few years of what you're going to with your life and ....then all of a sudden you get to a certain age and you're like, wow, I can't party like I used to, and I need to exercise and I need to get my professional life going or wow, she's a great woman, maybe I should marry her. You know all these questions start coming up at that age. It's been really cool to explore that. But yeah I think Julian wants to have children, I think he's just scared because as a man you want to be ready for those things. You want to have enough money, and you want to have a place for them to grow up healthy and you want to be able to support them and put them through college and so you don't want to dive into having kids being unprepared.
Q-Julian has been working with more of the other cast members lately. How was it to shoot the camping scene with the James, Antwon and Lee?
A-It was great. I remember having a talk with the writers and Mark Schwahn, and saying look I mean Julian isn't really interacting with anybody but Brooke and now he's a big part of the One Tree Hill world and let's get him out there and involved with everybody. And so it was nice. I got a lot of emails and text messages from family and friends saying it was so cool to see you working with other people. It was like a new view point.
Q-Julian can be funny guy but he can also be very serious at times, how do you prepare for those more serious and emotional scenes? Do you have a special technique?
A-I don't know, it's weird. Working on 'One Tree Hill' has been very different from anything else I've ever worked on. I feel like in the past I was used to building up a character from scratch who's nothing like me, where now for the first time in my life I feel like I'm playing someone who's a lot like me. It's fun and interesting and when serious stuff comes up, I just sort of stick to personal things and there's somethings I have, little triggers, you know every actor has their triggers and I'll go use those things.
Q-Where would you like to see Julian and Brooke end up when 'One Tree Hill' is over?
A-You know it's interesting because on a TV show you don't know what's happening next, as opposed to a film. When Mark asked me to come back as a series regular I told him I only would if we could make a really powerful love story for Brooke and Julian. I wanted him to give them the greatest love story. I mentioned 'The Notebook' to him. I wanted him to give them that kind of love and story, a fountainhead love. And in 'The Notebook' even when they fight, it's how it is now for Brooke and Julian, it's fun to watch them fight. It's sexy. It's inspiring. That's what I told him I wanted. And he agreed. Even when they're apart, it's still interesting. So definitely in the end I want them to have the greatest happy ending ever.
Q-Was he leaning towards something else for them initially?
A-If he was, he didn't tell me. He just asked me what I thought and then he just agreed with everything I said about them. He was very happy to write to them that kind of a love story. I think because it worked in season six, he knew it could continue. When something works, it's great. It's been fun.
Q-Some of your co-stars have gone in the direction of directing? Is that something you would like to do someday or are you just content in front of the camera?
A-I absolutely do. Lately I've been shadowing directors and going to production meetings. I've done everything as a shadow in that area. I wanted to let them know that I wanted to direct. I was just sneaky about it. I just don't want to leave North Carolina and not have it happen. So hopefully it will happen soon.
Q-If you weren't acting what do you think you'd be doing?
A-Oh that would change every week for me. Sometimes I get into different things. At one point in my life I wanted to be a golfer. I used to golf when I was young. Also I wanted to be a professional water skier. Then I wanted to be a sports announcer.
Also I've really been interested in architecture lately. I really want to buy a house and fix it up. There's this incredible artist out there that inspires me, Donald Judd. All of his work is in Marfa, TX. It's a really small town that has kept his work and the buildings that he owned all around it. The town now is really influenced by his style and it's great. I was there to check out recently with some friends and it was amazing.
Q-If you could go back in time and spend a day in the life of one person who would it be?
A-It would be Donald Judd I have to say. Just to see what his head was like, by his ideas and uncompromising. When I saw his old space in Marfa, everything was left perfectly the same. Nothing was moved and I can imagine it would have been difficult to live with him. I just would like to see what that was like.
Q-Are there any updates concerning your work with Southern Gothic Productions?
A-Yeah absolutely. There's an incredible script called The Pedestrian. We're trying to make it into a movie. It's one of the best scripts I've ever read so I'm definitely gonna do everything I can to make it happen.

Ent LawyerApparently this former B list movie actor and now probably a C, although with close to A name recognition has been scrambling because his beard relationship with his C list movie actress...
Sounds like Hayden Christensen and Ent Lawyer posters agree.
Rachel Bilson did more movies than TV, and she was in Jumper and New York, I Love You with Hayden.
Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis have been rumored to engage in a steamy sex scene in Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan. Portman recently talked to V magazine about the film and the scene, and while she makes a semantics argument against what's been reported, Natalie is certainly not denying it.
"It's not raunchy - it's extreme," she said. I'm sure there's a difference, if only qualitatively. The tone of the profile makes me think that the extreme scene will involve nudity. Both Portman and Kunis have done nude scenes before, Portman in the short Hotel Chevalier and Kunis in some direct-to-video thing, but now Portman says she's more open to that possibility than she would have been earlier in her career.
"Previously I was figuring out my own sexual identity, likes and dislikes and all that stuff, and it's weird to be doing stuff on film as you're figuring it out," she said. "Also, being a sexual object when you're a kid is really uncomfortable." Well, yes. There's that.
In a way, it's rather surprising that Portman has emerged so well-adjusted given her start on screen. "After The Professional, I was already getting creepy letters.”
Lost in all of this is the fact that it's a Darren Aronofsky movie and could be very good on its own merits without such a scene. It's always a curiosity when stars decide to take this plunge. Halle Berry's topless scene in Swordfish is completely ridiculous and even takes away from the movie. However, a few months later, her sex scene with Billy Bob Thornton in Monster's Ball has to be there, is clearly driven by the loneliness of the characters, and is uncomfortable to sit through as an audience member. It's always better to have a built-in reason for a scene like this.
ONTD
Oh no! First sex scene with Jake turned Natalie into a lesbian! ;)
Pamela's=Pittsburgh. No Brothers screening for Jake on Sunday unless he flys out tomorrow:
LarZee: At Pamela's with Jake G and Reese W
about 1 hour ago from Echofon
I thought Jake was already in LA:
jeremyfranklin: I think Jake Gyllenhaal is at the Pittsburgh bar I am at in the airport.
1 day ago
Maybe he was returning from L.A. and was at the airport bar waiting for his ride. There was a tweet after that one (I think) that placed him in Pittsburgh.
Jake can hide from the paps when he wants to. The pap photos of Reese in L.A. was of her at yoga and jogging with friends,Jake wasn't needed as he wasn't needed for her filmimg her final scenes from her movie.
I bet he was in L.A. the same time as her but returned to Pittsburgh a day early.
There was a tweet of her earlier at the Pitsburgh airport no way she would be there if he wasn't.
The Brothers tweet could be a screening and she assumes Jake and Tobey will be there, we will find out soon enough.
Maybe he was waiting for someone.
Or the tweet was fake.
The twet placing Jake at a bar at PIT airport may not have been a fake but a case of someone that looked like Jake, happened before. The twwet said "I think". If he is from Pittsburgh he has heard that Jake is filming there and thought he spotted him there.
Or he was just hanging out at the bar, not much happening in Pittsburgh and I don't know how far Shadyside is from the airport, I suspect that he is staying at some hotel suite in Shadyside like the rest of the actors filming there.
Jake has been to Pamelas several times before and there are pics of her at LAX on Friday and a tweet of her arriving at PIT airport.
She finished shooting in L.A. and immediately headed to Jake in Pittsburgh. The kid's daddy is looking for them more often than Reese does, it seems. She's lucky that he's such a supportive co-parent. Honestly.
Supportive co-parent??? Ryan supports his kids, not his ex-wife. Good parents always want more time with their kids.
If Reeke were a real couple you'd think Reese prefers to be with the young, cute bf than with her kids. ;)
Please 2:02 PM, let's not go there, who gives a shit about beard's parenting values.
Zac Efron - Pretty, but I don't find him attractive.
ONTD - Zefron and friends cheer on the Lakers + MAOW clip!
Zac is meh.
On last night's episode of 30 Rock Jenna and Tracy need to find a bunch of funny gays in a hurry. Their first stop? A line of guys waiting to watch Hugh Jackman's taping of Inside the Actor's Studio.
No matter how many times Jackman obliquely denies the gay rumors, they still persist. Maybe Tina Fey & Co. were just saying that gay guys love The Boy from Oz , and really why wouldn't they? He's handsome, buff, and loves a good show tune. The only thing that could make him more appealing is if he were related to Madonna.
Gawker
They didn't mention my name?
Gawker comment:
I think he's [Hugh Jackman] gay because I saw him at the Kylie Minogue concert a few weeks ago. There was not a straight man within 20 blocks of the Hammerstein Ballroom that evening.
I can't believe no one in the ONTD Sesame Street pic post mentioned Jake getting teabagged by the octopus.
LOL :)
Great ending but it made me cry!
War Buddies: A Marine's Unlikely Bond with a Dedicated Iraqi Dog
When Dennis and his patrol had to go 75 miles from their post — the farthest distance from Nubs since their first meeting — he figured the dog would retreat. But two days later, a Marine came to Dennis and said, "You'll never guess who's outside." It was Nubs, a little worse for wear, covered with bites and scars from fighting. "He had traveled some of the most nasty, inhospitable desert you can imagine," says Dennis. "I have no idea how he did it. I looked at him and thought, 'This little guy has earned a trip to America.' "
Dennis isn't bad looking either!
Atticus, NO you can't go give Nubs a welcome to America hump.
*cries*
(((Atticus))) LOL
Great ending but it made me cry!
Animal stories always make me cry, thank God this one has a happy end.
I can't believe no one in the ONTD Sesame Street pic post mentioned Jake getting teabagged by the octopus.
They have clean, innocent minds, lol.
Jake said... They didn't mention my name?
No, they didn't because you convinced everyone that you're straight as a ruler!
The last dog Atticus humped.
Now that's a big smile! lol
Atticus makes everyone happy!
*sigh* I really wish Atticus could talk. The stories he could tell....
*Thank Moses, Atticus can't talk*
That's what you think.
*goes back to writing his memoirs*
What should I talk about in this chapter. The night I barked and growled real mean to the coyote and scared him off or the time I watched Daddy lying on the kitchen table with his legs up in the air getting fucked. Hmmmm
Yeah the coyote. Much more exciting.
Although Daddy screaming flailing and passing out was pretty good..what was the guy's name again? Can't remember. Shit.
Yeah the coyote. Much more exciting.
*JG fans and gays*
^^ LOL
What I don't get is why no one bites off the sausage and eats the damn thing. They just lick it and stick it in and out over and over. WTF?
*That's it, next time I'll lock him up in the veranda!*

Clip of Heath in IODP (new):

^^^ Morning, Sir! :)
^^^ Terry Gilliam Talks about Heath, Matilda and Johnny
^^Do you think Terry called Jake too?
Now that's a good question!
Jake was shooting Brothers at the time. If TG called him, he wasn't available.
Mystery solved! Terry Gilliam introduced Heath to Johnny Depp :)
It's logical actually, Terry Gilliam and Johnny are friends ever since Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas. And Heath and Gilliam are friends since BG, so it's logical it's him who intruduced the guys to each other.
I have never heard or read of Terry calling or considering Jake to finish Heath's role. Never. And I seriously doubt he did. Let's be honest here.
And by the way, Johnny was in the middle of filming "Sweeney Todd" when Terry called him. Technically he was not available but he used his days off to film the scenes.
Gilliam mentioned Tom Cruise offered to finish Heath's role, which I think was a really nice gesture of Tom.
I think Jake was available / Brothers filming was finished in time to join Parnassus.
Feb 15th 2008
Johnny Depp, Jude Law and Colin Farrell to Replace Ledger in 'Parnassus?'
6:25 PM, I agree. Knowing what a bigmouth Terry Gilliam is, had he called Jake it would've been out by now. He did mention turning down Tom Cruise’s offer. Only one correction, Johnny was filming "Public Enemies".
It's logical actually, Terry Gilliam and Johnny are friends ever since Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas.
It is logical now, but who knew that Heath and Johnny are friends?
Knowing what a bigmouth Terry Gilliam is...
I hope Terry will keep on talking :)
It is logical now, but who knew that Heath and Johnny are friends?
Obviously not many people. :)
I hope Terry will keep on talking :)
Ha, ha.
He dished on Heath/Michelle. Now he needs to tell us all about Jake/Heath.
We are waiting Terry!!! LOL.
Terry has nothing to tell, the fact that he never contacted Jake about finishing the film speaks volumns.

Gilliam mentioned that he contacted a few people, but they weren't available. Maybe Jake was one of them? Or perhaps he didn't call him? There's no way to know.
It appears Jake was available.
Terry has nothing to tell, the fact that he never contacted Jake about finishing the film speaks volumns.
Even if Terry didn't call Jake, there can be number of reasons for that.
Heath and Matilda visiting Terry Gilliam in London - that was during The Dark Knight filming?
Oh please stop it already. You know that if contacted his ass thast his handlers would have made sure it was put out there.
Like the BS about him going to the memorail serice, his funeral, the BS about Matilda.
Heath was a junkie, everyone in HW knew it. Jake made sure he wasn't "attached" to him anymore no matter what BS fanfic was spread about them hooking up.
Heath was toxic like Kiki, both junkies.
Terry called actual friends of Jake at the time, people that he knew respected Heath and at least were friends with him towards the end and it wasn't Jake.
That should be actual friends of Heath.

I wonder if he's in the top 20 of the 100?
Drugs have nothing to do with Jake being silent about Heath,.
No one would think that you do drugs just because you're a friend or family of a drug user.
I wonder if he's in the top 20 of the 100?
I think the list will be published on November 18.
What got up the babbler's ass?
Gerbil?
I think the list will be published on November 18.
TY for the info.
Heath and Matilda visiting Terry Gilliam in London - that was during The Dark Knight filming?
And another question - this was an occasion when Heath was spending time with Matilda after the split?
Wasn't Jake in the middle of filming 'Brothers' when Heath passed?
Brothers filming was done soon after.
7:13 PM, although there are people who don't want to be associated or friends with drug addicts. Not saying Heath was an addict or that Jake avoided him because of it. I've no clue. We're all just speculating here.
And another question - this was an occasion when Heath was spending time with Matilda after the split?
He was still with Michelle during TDK shoot. But there was already trouble in paradize. I think TDK shoot collided with Incendiary shoot where Michelle supposedly had something going on with Ewan McGregor.
Heath and Michelle seperated officially in September 2007 when TDK shoot was already finished.
I find it funny that Jake didn't want to be associated with Heath because of the drugs but a huge star like Johnny Depp had no problem with it, even offered his help as a friend. Jake’s image is tied to the Chin and it’s killing his fanbase with each day that goes by. It's all so ironic.
7:27 PM
Stupid babbler, why are you complaining about being called a babbler when you don't even try to hide that fact?
He was cremated in NY, there was no body in that casket when it was flown to L.A. for the memorials.
Bullshit! He was cremated in Perth. Get your facts straight, babbler.
Jake’s image is tied to the Chin and it’s killing his fanbase with each day that goes by. It's all so ironic.
His image only suffered for a small part of an online fanbase.
Johnny Depp is a big star, that's why he can be "I don't give a fuck" about things. Jake can't afford this...yet.
His image only suffered for a small part of an online fanbase.
Do tell us, who are Jake fans who don't use Internet?
Do tell us, who are Jake fans who don't use Internet?
I honestly have no idea how well known he is outside the internet world.
7:43 PM
You are a babbler / troll - what's childish about calling you what you are?
Stop making shit up, you dumb babbler!
I've too read somewhere that Jake distanced himself from Heath because of his (alleged) addiction/lifestyle. Can't tell where anymore, might even have read it before Heath died.
Jake's internet fanbase is small compared to other actors. Don't let the obsessive comments on some blogs fool you, they are they same fans posting over and over again.
It's small and getting smaller. The DD fans have gotten older and the BBM fans are only interested in BBM, not Zodiac, Rendition as you have seen and they won't show up for Brothers and the rest because it's not BBM.
He and his people know this, BBM fans are not loyal fans, they are also mostly older and they have no interest in catering to them.
I was always surprised when I was on DC how many never saw DD or the Good Girl, they did later on but still you would think that they would rent all his movies when BBM came out.
Straight women made BBM a hit, they are the ones that saw it over and over again.
Middle-aged straight women into slash? Not much of a fanbase.
He was reported to be seen puking in the door ways of apts. in Brroklyn
I remember reading this, but as far as I remember it wasn't in Brooklyn but near his Soho apartment.
Give me a break with "Jake distanced himself from Heath because of a drug problem" bullshit.
BTW, Jake has no problem with hanging out, in public, with ex-drug user and ex-convict.
Why did Jake stick Heath’s picture on the wall during that scene from Bothers as a joke if he wanted to distance himself from Heath? He should’ve put Chin up there. LMAO
7:50 PM, Jake has a chance to add new fans to his fanbase with POP. We will see what happen.
BTW, Jake has no problem with hanging out, in public, with ex-drug user and ex-convict.
;)
Why did Jake stick Heath’s picture on the wall during that scene from Bothers as a joke if he wanted to distance himself from Heath?
Yes it was a BBM joke. It had to do with the film, not directly with Heath. I think he used a pic of Ennis.
Jake's internet fanbase is small compared to other actors.
Jake has ONLY internet fanbase.
Actors like Elizabeth Taylor could have a fanbase who doesn't use Internet.
I think he used a pic of Ennis.
Would that matter?
BBM fans are not loyal fans
You can't be serious.
Yes it was a BBM joke. It had to do with the film, not directly with Heath. I think he used a pic of Ennis.
It doesn't matter. You don't know if it was a picture of Ennis, the article didn’t say. Regardless, since Heath played Ennis it had to do with him too.
