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.

There's also a 'two words after sex' thread. I like "cash only" "who's next" and "get out"
There should be a 'two words during sex' - "finish already!"

6:03, maybe the selling point for Source Code could be "Why waste time seeing Twelve Monkeys, Deja Vu, Life on Mars, Groundhog Day, Jack Sholder’s 12:01, Final Destination and the TV series House, when you can see all of them in Source Code?"
One more - Early Edition:
Jake Gyllenhaal May or May Not Be Inside You
The Bomb: Jake Gyllenhaal is taking a look at Source Code, a sci-fi thriller about a soldier who wakes up in the body of a commuter whose train is bombed. Gyllenhaal’s character has to relive the bombing until he can figure out who did it. So kind of like Groundhog Day meets Early Edition. [Variety]
Source Code - The project had originally been set up at Universal early in 2007 with Topher Grace in the lead role. Shane Abbess had been attached to direct last year.
Everyone seems to like or love the script, I wonder why Universal didn't use it.
Mere moments after the existence of the film was announced, the script for Scource Code showed up on desk. What is it? None other than the next project for much loved Moon director Duncan Jones and, while its setting couldn’t possibly be more different than Sam Rockwell’s outer space moon base in his last movie, it plays in many of the same twisty, mind-bending waters as that previous effort. Or maybe it’s just a Bill Murray movie without the sense of humor.
The version of the script I’m reading was written by Ben Ripley, whose previous work was on a couple of direct-to-DVD Species sequels. This is the script Jones will use, however his version includes revisions by State of Play screenwriter Billy Ray. That means the final product may be significantly different and so we’ll avoid going too far into detail here. This version is, however, likely enough to give us a broad idea of what they’re going for. As is, the script is a taut and fast paced little thriller which uses a two very simple settings to craft a tense and mysterious sci-fi story. But if you really want to distill it down to its most basic form, Source Code is Groundhog Day meets Deja vu.
The script uses a familiar science fiction premise. A man wakes up in the same place, over and over and over again. In this case it’s a moving train and there’s a bomb. The bomb explodes, he dies, and then wakes up again to repeat the whole thing over again. It’ll only stop when he finds out who has placed the bomb… or maybe it’ll stop when he finally saves the girl whom he slowly learns more about with each new encounter. Yep, there’s that obligatory Groundhog Day scene where he dazzles her with his extensive knowledge of her life. At first though the man, named Colter, doesn’t know why he is where he is or what’s going on. He’s not even in his own body. There’s more than one mystery here and he’s forced to unravel all of them in the seventeen minutes he has each time he wakes up, before the bomb explodes.
Jake Gyllenhaal is, as I write this, in negotiations to star in the film and it seems likely he’d play Colter. He’s a soldier, the determined hero type. He’s not however, a particularly good detective. If there’s a flaw in the script that’s it. Colter repeatedly passes up obvious opportunities to discover what’s going on out of sheer, well, stupidity. It’s obvious he’s confused but depending on how Jones handles it, this could end up frustrating the audience. Hopefully some of this will be cleaned up by Billy Ray, in his revised version of the script.
There’s also the girl, named Christina. She’s a Zooey Deschanel type but, here’s one of the really great things about the script: Though she’s into skulls and black nail polish, Source Code refuses to reduce her to some aging Goth girl stereotype. On the surface that’s exactly what she is but from the beginning Ripley refuses to pigeonhole her that way. She’s interesting, almost out of step with everything else that’s going on, but in a completely refreshing way.
The script’s other characters are either passengers on the train, most of whom get only a scene or in some cases only a fleeting moment, or soldiers whose role I won’t explain lest it lead to spoilers. Suffice to say the casting of two characters named Goodwin and Rutledge is critical. Like Christina, neither is simply the sum of what they appear to be. For that matter, neither is anything else.
But it’s not the mystery that really made Ripley’s script such an easy read. It’s the way he describes the places Colter finds himself in. The detailed descriptions of the train, which Colter observes in an almost hyper-real manner caused by his condition, are the stuff of Holmesian observation. The characters too are remarkably alive, for people who in most cases, we only see in the briefest span of a momentary incident.
As with any script, how this turns out depends on what director Duncan Jones decides to do with it. The premise itself is a tried and true sci-fi/fantasy formula, with its own twists. Sure it’s Groundhog Day with a bomb, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. It has some of its own ideas about what it means to revisit the same moment in time until you get it right. Jones has already proven himself an excellent judge of style, pacing, and tone. His eye for the thoughtful and strange may be exactly what Source Code needs.

Random Thoughts of the Week
You know, I respect Jerry Bruckheimer for what he’s done. He’s tapped into the vein of what people want in a summer blockbuster and delivers it, no questions asked. He doesn’t want any awards, nor does he throw the weight of his producer’s touch behind anything that doesn’t make money. It’s Americana at its best. But watching the new trailer for Prince of Persia, one can’t help but think that he’s gotten complacent.
Click here to watch it.
The one thing that keeps bugging me, outside of Jake Gyllenhaal’s English accent in ancient Persia, is that the film is desperately trying to capture magic that his main franchise of the last decade (Pirates of the Caribbean) had. And it’s kind of sad, really, because this franchise ought to try and find its own magic.
Bruckheimer isn’t exactly the king of originality, far from it, but he’s always been someone who bases his franchises with different sorts of vibes. National Treasure is his action thriller with delusions of history, Pirates is his costume piece. Bad Boys is his crime thriller, and Beverly Hills Cop is his action comedy series. One would think that Prince of Persia would be more of a swords and sandals in the Middle East epic, as opposed to going for another costume period piece.
It’s hard to judge the quality of a film from its trailer, but you can tell a film’s vibe from it. And there’s nothing original about the vibe from this film, as it just reeks of “hey, Jake is doing his Persian Johnny Depp” and everything’s supposed to be ok. It’s not.
I don’t expect much from Bruckheimer besides stuff being blown up, but I do expect at least an attempt at making something different. His movies may have all the same tendencies, but they all have their own universe and vibe. And it’s disappointing to see that he’s just doing a copy and paste of his past.

Johnny who?
"Outside London where I lived, there was no gay pub or bar you could go to. And even if you found one, it was 'Knock three times and ask for Louis.' It was horrible living this secret life. You could feel a little bit what it was like to be a Jew in central Europe during a certain period. It was horrible."

Gyllenhaal in thriller Source Code
Philippe Rousselet’s Vendome Pictures has announced its first project, teaming with Mark Gordon on the sci-fi thriller Source Code starring Jake Gyllenhaal. Summit International has already pre-sold rights to more than 15 territories at AFM.
Duncan Jones, fresh from his critically acclaimed low budget sci-fi Moon, will direct the story of a US soldier who wakes up in the body of an unknown commuter and is forced to live and relive a train bombing until he can find the perpetrator. Ben Ripley wrote the screenplay with revisions from Billy Ray.
“Jake and I have been trying to find a project together since we worked on The Day After Tomorrow,” Gordon said. “He’s a wonderful actor and perfect for this role in Source Code.”
Gyllenhaal is currently filming Love And Other Drugs for Ed Zwick. He will next be seen in Jim Sheridan’s Brothers and the upcoming Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time. Jones is currently writing the screenplay of the upcoming film Mute, which he will also direct.

^^^ Mark Gordon of The Mark Gordon Company will produce with Rousselet, a longtime French producer who set up Vendome with co-CEO Fabrice Gianfermi a year ago...
*And there’s nothing original about the vibe from this film, as it just reeks of “hey, Jake is doing his Persian Johnny Depp” *
It REEKS??!!!
DUH!!!
In related news, [Duncan] Jones updated his Twitter profile to explain the status of Mute, another sci-fi flick that he has in development...
"For those asking, Mute still in the plans, just slightly delayed. It's a hard sell... whereas Source Code came with an offer hard to refuse."

Nothing about Toothy/Jake/Austin/Bitchface but I thought this Q&A was interesting (and funny):
Dear Ted:
Would a celeb, their PR rep or camp insider (family, friend or hired help) ever post on one of the large message boards with intent to influence public opinion or to spill some dirt anonymously? Let's use Brangie, for example.

Duh! lol
I checked back on X17 Video. OMFG even after every comment (about 5) said it was Austin, they never corrected their mistake, they still have "Sophia Bush And James Lafferty" Jeeze.
Jake is tired of waiting for Liman.
Liman's pissed that Jake made better time in the MV race. Even after he paid off that lady to make him lose his shoe.

Looks like "Source Code" filming will be quite short, people who have read the script said that there are just two locations.
Liman's Moon project has much bigger budget and it will probably take some time to finish the script and get the green light.
"Liman's Moon project has much bigger budget and it will probably take some time to finish the script and get the green light."
Get the green light? Jake has been paying the Liman's credit card bills for two and a half years. The bloody script still isn't done and you're worried when the film is going to get the green light, let alone start filming?
The sequel of 2012 will probably be in the theatres before Liman gets off of his a$^, and there won't even be a sequel of 2012! Jake should ask for his money back.
Liman is working on the movie:
The Moon budget is 350 pages long and way too high
Jake should ask for his money back.

Oh no, not epic again! lol
And when Jez Butterworth (the writer of Fair Game) read Moon, he pointed out massive similarities between the Jake Gyllenhaal character breaking all the rules to complete his mission and basically how I put together my movies. Which actually makes me feel better about the movie, because I think that when you do a big epic story, if you cannot ground it in something really personal, it becomes sort of meaningless fluff.
Since we all post anonymously here, I'll ask this question:
Is it wrong to be anxious for "Brothers" promotion just to see if Jake is FINALLY! going to say something about Heath??
No :)
Jake didn't talk for two years, it will be interesting :)
I'm pretty sure he will answer questions re. Heath in upcoming interviews. Not sure he'll be as talkative about Reeke.
I doubt he'll be that "talkative" about Heath either.
TV interviews will be light and fluffy, I don't think anyone will ask about Heath. If there will be serious magazine interview then maybe.
Maybe that's why Jake doesn't seem to be doing much promo work for Brothers, to avoid talking about Heath (and Reeke).
Well, there are three actors who can promote Brothers.
Jake did talk with those two fans though and supposedly told them Heath was a "special friend". I wonder what that means?
^^Or maybe he just said what he thought they wanted to hear... (shrug)
I don't think we'll find out more than this :)
special - surpassing what is common or usual; exceptional
I don't think we'll find out more than this :)
I don't think either.
Everyone in LA knows Jake is straight. He's not so amused anymore by the rumors, and just wishes people would stop. He has said that what he went through during BBM filming, with Ledger's issues, should give him a free pass when it comes to the false gossip.
---------------
"what he went through, with Ledger's issues..."
Tell. It sounds like there were some real issues. Was Heath hard to work with? Everyone always sings his praises about how kind, and helpful, easy, and collaborative Heath was.
Did he use drugs? Was it about sexual overtures? I've never heard a single word about it except the canned, sanitized version. Ledger's gone almost two years, and I often wonder when the real gritty stuff will come out.
I like Ledger. But it's pretty clear just looking at him, he had a lot going on. I always thought that while Jake is physically very attractive, he was boring and bland. (still feel that way) Ledger was the one who projected "hot, sexy" wild side, big time.
When you are close to guys like Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell, Joaquin Phoenix, and even Sean Penn later on, you must have something going on. I have a feeling he was up for anything...at least I'd like to think so.
By far the much more interesting of the two.
He has said that what he went through during BBM filming, with Ledger's issues, should give him a free pass when it comes to the false gossip.
It's late here and I'm not an English native speaker, so I don't get this sentence. What does it mean?
That gays shouldn't gossip about Jake being gay because he had a hard time filming BBMt and they should respect what he did for them?
^^Oh that's what it means.
Thanks.
I think so, I'm not an English native speaker either! :)
While Heath was an attractive fellow and very talented, he did seem moody and difficult sometimes.
I think so, I'm not an English native speaker either! :)
At least you understood the sentence better than I did. :)
TV interviews will be light and fluffy
Now that you brought it up..I was wondering if anyone else noticed how odd/different his last Letterman/Conan interviews were. Especially the one that had the baseball story (Letterman?). I remember how he filled in every second of air time, hurriedly rushing to talk about something, anything. It really looked scripted, like he had a mental list of topics and anecdotes, anything to not give the host a chance to ask about Reese.
The shows are scripted in some way, sure. But I've been following his career and watching his interviews since October Sky (lol) and all of them have been at the same tempo: relaxed, have a few fun things to share, see what happens. But the last ones during Rendition/Reeke, something was off. Anyone else feel like that?
In 2006 Lainey mentioned that the gay rumores bothered Jake big time.
You know, even if he wasn't gay (which I don't think is the case), he should take the rumors the cool way a la Clooney. And the rumors about him are widely known even.
No matter if Jake's gay, bi, straight, he seems so desperate to prove he's straight, straight, sraight.
I wonder if he ever regretted/regrets doing BBM?
I wonder if he ever regretted/regrets doing BBM?
Impossible. Inconceivable. Unimaginable.
But the last ones during Rendition/Reeke, something was off. Anyone else feel like that?
Interesting observations. That was long time ago and I would have to watch those interviews again.
Remember the BV Ted had on Jake's birthday last year where he said the sex was "painfully unnatural" ? Everyone (including me!) was discussing that maybe it meant anal, deepthroatfucking, maybe S&M.
Well... I was looking up a quote on something this morning and by total accident I came across a (relatively) famous one that Alfred Kinsey said: "The only unnatural sex act is that which you cannot perform." So I'm wondering if that's what Ted was referencing when he used the phrase "painfully unnatural" (and "not exactly enjoyable"), that Toothy couldn't perform/orgasm with her because it was against his nature to be with a woman.
Here's the quote site if you don't believe me. It makes it even funnier/Toothy-related with the man and woman kissing. Perfect illustration and quote of Toothy's unnatural sex act.
Ha!
I don't think Jake can't do it with a woman. Drunkst bragged in an interview about him pleasing her in public places like a changing room in a boutique.
OMFG, I just realized that the couple looks like Reeke LOL. I was so busy earlier and right now when I had the comment box covering it, I didn't notice before. It's a well-known quote source site...I bet that's what Ted was referring to, that quote, plus the animated pic of the couple. That whole box is Toothy/Jake.
LOL!
I believe that Jake had sex with Kiki, but I bet her "hot sex" stories are fiction made by her or gossipers.
"I don't think Jake can't do it with a woman."
Maybe back in the Kiki days. But sexual preferences, like truths, always evolve and reveal themselves and we can't ignore them. IA that Jake had sex with females back in 2005 and earlier, but that he can't now.
Duh!
Alfred Kinsey said: "The only unnatural sex act is that which you cannot perform."
Great find! :)
IDK if Heath was difficult to work with for Jake, but they sure seemed to get along well during promo work. I read that Heath teared up during his speech at the DGA's and Jake who was on the stage with him teared up too (someone posted an article about it some time ago). You don't usually tear up with your co-star that you didn't get along with.
TY 6:27. Total accident. Btw I'm the person who found the pic and name of that guy Jake was hugging on the street, remember that one? "Wes from the production company". It might take me awhile, (years!) but I have an uncanny knack for finding random info. lol
Btw I'm the person who found the pic and name of that guy Jake was hugging on the street, remember that one?\
Yes, I do remember - Jake is so friendly with his colleagues ;)
IDK if Heath was difficult to work with for Jake...
Please keep in mind that the same troll said "Everyone in LA knows Jake is straight" lol

Jake Gyllenhaal: Why Hollywood's Hardest-Working Guy Deserves an Oscar
Jake Gyllenhaal: Why Hollywood's Lamest-Bearding Gay Deserves a Razzie
^^^ Moviefone UK
No young actor in Hollywood is putting together a more eclectic resume than Jake Gyllenhaal these days. With the news (per Variety and the Hollywood Reporter) that he's negotiating to star in 'Source Code,' a sci-fi thriller to be directed by 'Moon' helmer (and David Bowie spawn) Duncan Jones, Gyllenhaal is poised to add science fiction to an already beefy arsenal of roles that spans almost every genre imaginable.
So why is Gyllenhaal trying to be jack of all genres? Well, before we go over the mounting group of projects to which Jake is attached, let's talk about the Oscars.
Most Hollywood actors -- and all major stars -- want to win Oscars. In actuality, though, relatively few have reasonable shots at winning one. Such an odd, rare alchemy is needed to box in that ring: the right timing, the right competition, the right role. Plus intangibles, like the actor's politics or whether Academy members deem them over-commercial, might come into play. (This is the reason some pundits use for why Tom Cruise remains Oscar-bereft.)
Film genre, too, can mean a lot: Actors in dramas win more Oscars than actors in comedies. Especially this decade, biopics can really give an actor the edge: the Best Actresses of 2000, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2007 all won for playing real individuals; the Best Actors of 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2008 did, too.
Now back to Gyllenhaal. In addition to 'Source Code,' in which he'll play a soldier who wakes up in the body of an anonymous commuter and is forced to relive the same harrowing train bombing over and over again until he determines who's responsible, he's got a slew of wildly different projects on the horizon. He portrays the buffed-out hero of the upcoming video-game-based epic 'Prince of Persia,' giving him an action-adventure chit; plays Tobey Maguire's underachiever sibling in 'Brothers,' filling up the drama bucket; stars opposite Jessica Biel in 'Nailed,' in which he'll likely nail romantic comedy; and plays a traveling pharmaceutical salesman who falls for Anne Hathaway in 'Love and Other Drugs,' which takes care of straight-up romance.
And we know football legend Joe Namath personally approved Gyllenhaal to play him in an upcoming biopic. Indeed, Gyllenhaal has already played real people on screen three times: in 'October Sky,' 'Jarhead' and 'Zodiac.'
What could be behind the actor doing quite so many flicks? Could Gyllenhaal be aiming for an Oscar by dint of simply overwhelming the Academy with the volume and diversity of his work? We're not saying this is his only motivation. We're saying the opposite -- that he deserves one, and it's possible he may be pushing himself to max out his chances.
Gyllenhaal is poised to add science fiction to an already beefy arsenal of roles that spans almost every genre imaginable
Wow!
The Brits love Jake. ;)
^^^ I just about to post that! :)
Love Jake and Zowie Bowie.

Jensen's Engaged! So Is Jackles in Trouble?
It looks like Jackles may be over.
The Supernatural costars—and super besties—Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki may need to redefine their relaysh now that Jensen is taking the next step with longtime girlfriend Danneel Harris. Jensen's rep confirms to E! News that the two are indeed engaged.
So what does that mean for our favorite TV BFFs? Can they still find time to hang all the time, or will the missus be in the way?
We have a feeling Jared and Jensen will find time to do their guy stuff, but surely not as much since Ackles will want to be a good, attentive hubby. Only problem: Where's the heat between Jensen and Danneel?
From what we hear through the kissy grapevine, the newly engaged lovebirds have about as much passion as Vince Vaughn and his fiancée, Kyla Webber. In other words: No one's actually seen it in action. Maybe these folks are all private and stuff?
Remember, soccer moms (who know everything, btw) told us how they thought Vince and Kyla didn't seem like a "couple couple"—totally heatless. We're hearing rumblings of the same for Jensen and Danneel. I mean, jeez, don't tell us Jensen's gonna just end up being another George Clooney who struts around these quasi beauties with all the aplomb of a dog trainer strutting his latest prize furry thing?
Hey, maybe Hollywood's just made us cynical, and that's a good thing. A down-to-earth couple who can have a normal marriage, right? Lord knows there are just tons of those in Hollywood.
More importantly, what do you all think of the latest engagement?
Awful Truth
Mahiram: #fb News Jake Gyllenhaal is gay? the rumours heat up http://bit.ly/2W1CPb (expand)

Jake Gyllenhaal is gay? the rumours heat up
Jake Gyllenhaal has been dating the same guy for years. Last year Jake and his bf were arrested and brought into the West Hollywood station after the sheriffs office was called after catching Jake and his bf having sex in an SUV behind the restaurant Chin Chins in LA. Both were later released.
Jake has been dating this guy for years, even before he broke up with Kirsten Dunst. Kirsten Dunst found out about his bf and confronted him at Chateau Marmont. The confrontation was loud and they broke up right there. News of their break-up followed a few days later. Jake and his bf are currently expecting a baby through a surrogate. They used a company based in Westwood, CA. The baby is due in September.
I’m pretty surprised you haven’t heard. It’s the worst kept secret in Hollywood. Jake publicly walks around holding hands and kissing his bf in public on both coasts and even vacations with him. Pictures have even circulated around the internet. I’ve seen them. ”
There have been conflicting reports of who the ‘bf’ may actually be. Above is three photo’s of guys that it may possibly be. Perez Hilton and many others have hinted to Jake’s sexuality but never have come out with the actually ’story.’ Jake Gyllenhaal has been linked with actor Austin Nichols and Chef Chris Fischer. There is also another gentleman he has been linked to.
http://www.mahiram.com/2009/11/09/jake-gyllenhaal-is-gay-the-rumours-heat-up/
Ha, why in the world would that site rehash that Jonathan Jaxson crap from 2 years ago??
Of course there is no date, it's from 2007, but they wsnt you to think it's heating up. Whatever happened to Baby tile and better yer J. Jaxson??
Poor Chris
Last I remember Jaxson deleted all of his posts and became involved in PR again.
His last post on Jake and Reese was about them moving in together and wished them the best and hoped they would get married!!
How I'd love for a gay story about Jake to hit the mainstream media before PoP gets released. Jake’s people, the Chin and Jerry B. would shit bricks.
If Jake has had one night stands with guys, as has been gossiped about many times, there must be some guy out there who has some evidence of Jake being with a man or some guy out there who is willing to speak out. It's inconceivable that after years of either being out in public places with a long time boyfriend or casual pick-ups that no one has ever gotten any pics. I personally think Jake is Bi, but also think that there must be people out there who could probably confirm him being into guys.
Don't worry, it won't happen. I wouldn't be surprised if his PR posted that 2 year old rumor on that obscure blog knowing it would pop up on twitter.
Think about it: That story was laughed and ridiculed even by people who think he's gay and despite it flooding the net, it only made the NE where it was denied.
Jackson was laughed off the net.
There must be a story behind the reasons why someone fed rehashed TT BI's to him. I thinkk they saw that he was gullible and willing, any other blogger would never go near it knowing that it was nothing more than TT BI's.
The fact that he never "sourced" Ted shows that he was clueless about the rumors and his "source" knew it.
I guess the purpose was to get the story into the mainstream yet again..
At least Ian acknowleged that Ted was his source, he even had the toothytilefile site linked on his site!!
Then all of a sudden he dropped it, I guess Jake's PR said something.
"Then all of a sudden he dropped it, I guess Jake's PR said something."
Ian didn't suddenly drop anything. He said that Jake was gay, but that he wasn't with Austin and that there was no baby; upon hearing this the various OMGers and WFTers who had been all over this guy suddenly went very quiet. As someone who thinks that Jake is gay but that he and Austin split up and that Baby Tile was one of the biggest loads of bullshit I have ever read, I found this all very amusing.
I didn't know that Ian actually did a follow-up, I just thought that he just dropped it. I found his site a bit creepy so I never went back.
So Ian did some snooping? No wonder his findings weren't posted here and on OMG!
there must be some guy out there who has some evidence of Jake being with a man or some guy out there who is willing to speak out.
This guy had something to say.
Should I post that on Gyllenbabble and see how long it takes them to delete?!
You forgot, Cantara also said Jake was gay. Yes she did add "on Venus" after a longggg pause but IMO it was a CYA move. That way, she can say to the Gyllenhaal clan/PR, "Oh it was a joke."
9:39L Naw, we were talking about guys who said that they actually slept with Jake, and i'm not talking about 3rd or 2nd hand stories.
Like the I had sex with Vin Diesel type of stuff that pops up on the DL.
Speaking of Cunty when is her crappy book on the trashy Gyllenhaals coming out?
9:53, my point is that JG Francis is the closest to blab to the general public, so far.
"Speaking of Cunty when is her crappy book on the trashy Gyllenhaals coming out?"
Idk. jfgi. LOL
MatthewLarkster: This whole Tobey Macguire wants to kill Jake Gyllenhaal movie thing isn't okay. Can't they be lovers instead? No scary movies for you two :P
about 1 hour ago
I never saw any stories from Ian claiming Jake wasn't with Austin and that there was no baby. Ian seemed almost as clueless about Jake as that other idiot.
"I never saw any stories from Ian claiming Jake wasn't with Austin and that there was no baby."
He did it in an audio interview-type thing that you could listen to live/download. He pimped it for a couple of weeks beforehand, got various posters excited, and then dropped the "No Austin, no Baby Tile" bomb. Silence ensued. You can go back through the through the posts on here or OMG and see for yourself. You might even be able to hear for yourself if the links are still active.
A fact I left out of my Prince of Persia piece going live tomrw was that Gyllenhaal was reading this book while on set http://bit.ly/NhZuc
ErikDavis
I listened to that interview. Ian basically said he didn't know/hadn't heard anything about Austin or BT. He didn't say Jake was no longer with Austin or say unequivocally that there was no baby.
That moviefone thing is embarrassing. Jake should be ashamed of himself for making his PR push like this.
Yeah, I remember that interview too. He said he hadn't come up with anything that put Austin and Jake together or that there was a baby, but that he'd look into it further, and a week or so later he did a live chat where he concluded that they weren't together. But before all that he went on about Jake being madly in love with Heath. That was back in February I think. And I disagree with 9:22, because things didn't go quiet. There was a big running battle between the Jeathers and the Jaustiners. I think they all called truce and decided to just move on.
Funny how every time there is a troll over at OMG attacking people there is someone over here bringing up all the Heath and Jake speculation and trying to suggest that Austin isn't with Jake and/or Jake was more interested in Heath. Same people at work I suspect, they think that because in the past that was a heated topic that it will stir things up over here.
Looks to me like CAA and pr are getting nervous that all the publicity for PoP and Brothers will lead new people to find WFT2 and OMG.
You can tell a poster is clueless when they claim all of LA knows Jake is straight. What is true is that all of LA knows he is gay.
jzake iz ghey

Not true, Jonathan Jaxson just posted US Weekly "Jake's moving in" cover, with few sentences about the "article".

about 3 hours ago
While on the set of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, we had a chance to talk to some of the cast. Below you will find our roundtable interviews with Jake Gyllenhaal and Gemma Arterton:
Q: You’ve done big movies like The Day After Tomorrow and you’ve had some opportunities to do a franchise movie, so what was it about this particular franchise that made you want to be involved in it?
Jake Gyllenhaal: I think just on a personal front, it was just so unlikely and so unlike anything I’d ever played really, and any type of movie that I think anyone would expect, that I just kind of wanted to do it. (laughs) It felt like that personally, but also, more than anything, when I talked with Mike Newell about it, it wasn’t just like your normal video game adaptation. It was an actual massive epic that they had in the works. They had a real classic story that was emotional and real and filled with just ridiculous turns and twists, I mean, all over the place. Every day, when we work, is filled with keeping in mind where you were and how you got there and what’s happening here and who fooled whom. It’s like The Usual Suspects every single day, and that makes it intriguing to me, just on a story point. Also just the fact that these movies, if they’re going to get done, they should be done by the best and I think that Jerry Bruckheimer in particular is the one to make them.
...
slashfilm.com
Q: I wanted to ask about the parkour stuff, because we’ve seen a few guys dressed as you doing some of the stunts
Gyllenhaal: A few of them? 14 guys.
Q: Its a sport that’s very difficult to learn and master, so I was wondering how much of that stuff you’re able to do and how you learned how to do it.
Gyllenhaal: Well, I worked in L.A. for a few weeks before I left for London. We had a month of rehearsal in London, and I worked in L.A. with just Parkour guys and obviously, David Bell has been on set with us and he’s been working… I haven’t been working directly in terms of technique, but he’s designed a lot of stuff, and surprisingly, a lot of the things they taught me and asked me to do, just start to come easily when you start isometric type of workouts, a lot of hanging and a lot of training your body to move precisely and landing in the right away. A lot is about landing. Anybody can run and jump as far as they can but landing it is the hardest part, which is why you have the four guys outside looking like me. (laughter) I mean, I just learned it. If there’s one thing on this movie I’ve learned so fast is that when someone asks you to do something, you have to try it and see if you can do it, and if you don’t do it the first time, then you have to try again. If you miss it three times then somebody else has to do it, but if you don’t try to do it, then you’ll regret it for the rest of the time, because that’s what these movies afford you, an opportunity to do crazy sh*t that you wouldn’t normally be able to do. (laughs)
I remember there’s a whole scene with ostriches in the movie and there are real live ostriches, not CG ostriches. There’s not a CG’ed ostrich in this movie. They’re all real ostriches, highly paid, and we were all briefed on them for weeks before like “They’re these massive destructive creatures that can tear your heart out with their claws.” (laughs) I swear to God I never thought of an ostrich this way! And I was shaking in my boots when they finally brought them out and they’re (does an ostrich impression) and I walked up to it and one of my stuntmen was in the ring with them, and finally, I was like, “When am I going to be in a f*cking cage with ostriches again in my life? I gotta get in here!” So I got in there and they were the sweetest things. I did everything with them, I eventually did that, but every day is like that. You gotta get in there and you gotta do it and that is an experience I’ll never be able to… well, hopefully ostriches will come back again… either in reshoots or hopefully in a second one. That sort of sums up the movie. (laughs)
does an ostrich impression
How do you do an ostrich impression? lol

New Jake POP interview comingsoon.net
^^^ Same PoP interview + this introduction:
During our visit to Pinewood Studios, we finally had a chance to talk to Jake late on Day Two as he had been the busiest of the cast, being the lead and all. He had mostly been filming a pivotal scene with Sir Ben Kingsley on the main unit that was considered a plot spoiler, so we didn't get to watch him in action, but while Jake has played a lot of serious dramatic roles, his cheery demeanor when faced with the group of journalists made it obvious he was clearly having fun making this movie. Apparently, he'd also been doing an accent for the movie but after greeting us with his British accent, he dropped and reverted to his normal California-influenced one.
I'm not complaining, thanks for posting 5:40 AM :)

Niles couple banned from Wal-Mart after dispute over BIC lighters
NILES — The two Bic multipurpose lighters and a package of smaller lighters Joe Paolucci bought at the Niles Wal-Mart on Aug. 16 cost $15.84.
So how did the lighters end up the centerpiece of a situation that resulted in Paolucci and his gay partner, Thomas Hitchcock, being banned from Wal-Mart, not only in Niles but everywhere? That's the rest of the story.
Paolucci said he and Hitchcock had visited the store often since the two Chicago attorneys — for 13 years, Paolucci was general counsel for the real estate investment company owned by Chicago billionaire Sam Zell — opened a store known simply as Front in downtown Buchanan.
The "high-end modernist gallery/shop," as Paolucci described it, stemmed from an extensive rehabilitation project. He and Hitchcock own investment properties in downtown Buchanan as well, they said, plus a second home near Buchanan that they occupy with two special-needs 11-year-old twin sons they adopted from Romania.
"The kids call us Daddy and Poppa," said Paolucci, who maintains a primary residence with Hitchcock and the boys in Chicago's Lincoln Park area.
Reward for good behavior
On Aug. 16, the four traveled to Wal-Mart at least in part, Paolucci said, to reward the twins for recent good behavior. Hitchcock bought groceries totaling some $200 and checked out at a counter operated by a cashier. Paolucci, meanwhile, went to a self-checkout lane to use scanning equipment he had operated before.
Later, he said, he returned to the shopping area to pick up additional items, including the lighters, which he scanned and placed in bags. He grabbed his receipt for the items, totaling some $60, and headed for the exit, as did Hitchcock and the boys.
Before they got outside, store employees stopped them.
"They asked if I had Bic lighters. I said, 'Yes,' and handed them over," Paolucci said. "Then they asked if I had a receipt. I said, 'Yes, you're holding it.' Then this group of Wal-Mart employees started forming around us."
Paolucci and Hitchcock said the employees were threatening and that one used a vulgarity. Their accusations frightened the boys, who began "crying, screaming and freaking out," they said.
Detention room
Paolucci said that while he and Hitchcock were attempting to calm down the boys, the employees ordered them to enter a "detention room" for questioning. Fearful of what might happen behind closed doors, he and Hitchcock refused to enter and asked to speak to a manager.
"Some guy came up and said, 'I'm the manager,' then turned around and left," Hitchcock said.
Paolucci said he and Hitchcock then asked store personnel to call police. Within minutes, deputies from the Berrien County Sheriff's Department's Niles Township Patrol arrived, pleasing Paolucci who said he thought a few questions and a review of the store's videotapes and computer records would quickly resolve the matter.
He said he was shocked when he was immediately handcuffed, without a question being asked, and placed in the back seat of a squad car. Hitchcock wasn't handcuffed but also was placed in the back seat of a second squad car.
The twins, despite the protests of Paolucci and Hitchcock, were turned over to the store's security personnel, who took them into the "detention room" or what police referred to as a security room.
Cleared by the tape
Paolucci and Hitchcock estimated it was at least 45 minutes before officers told them they had reviewed the store's tapes and had determined that the lighters hadn't been shoplifted. The two said they expected an apology and were surprised once again when personnel from the store walked up to the squad cars with the twins and read from a statement that Paolucci and Hitchcock had been banned by the store chain for life. Rather than shoplifting, the reason they were given was "being uncooperative."
"Everything they asked us to do, we did. We cooperated 100 percent," Paolucci argued. "We objected only when they tried to get us to go into the detention room."
By the time they were read the statement, Paolucci and Hitchcock said, the twins had told them that the security staff had allegedly threatened them in the security room and had made disparaging remarks about Paolucci and Hitchcock's lifestyle. Paolucci and Hitchcock said they asked police to take statements from the boys but the officers refused, telling the couple they'd have to contact Child Protective Services.
They were told next that they'd have to leave the premises immediately, they said, or be arrested for trespassing. The men said they argued the store should at least replace such grocery items as a frozen pizza, ice cream and popsicles, which by then had thawed or melted, but those arguments, too, went nowhere.
Charges sought, denied
Numerous follow-up telephone calls to the Sheriff's Department eventually succeeded in officers interviewing the boys four days later, with one of the issues raised an allegation by Paolucci that one of the twins had been injured when he was pushed into the security room. Paolucci said he and Hitchcock also asked the Berrien County Prosecutor's Office to file criminal charges against Wal-Mart's employees but none were forthcoming.
They weren't surprised charges weren't authorized, they said, because such prosecution would have raised questions about the Sheriff's Department's handling of the situation. Attempts to meet personally with Sheriff Paul Bailey were rebuffed, they said.
Contacted by The Tribune, Wal-Mart wouldn't comment but Bailey defended his deputies, arguing that they followed proper protocol not only in their treatment of Paolucci and Hitchcock but by placing the children in what they considered a safe and secure environment. He didn't personally meet with the couple, he said, because R. McKinley Elliott, the county's corporate counsel, advised against it.
Elliott said there simply was no reason for Bailey to have such a meeting.
"It would not have been a productive use of his time," he said.
Nothing improper
Elliott said a thorough review of the store's videotapes revealed nothing improper by either store employees or police.
"The Prosecutor's Office didn't see any basis for acting against anyone," he said.
As for the shoplifting accusation, a copy of the police report obtained by The Tribune under the Freedom of Information Act stated that video surveillance clearly showed Paolucci scanning both packages of lighters.
"It is unknown at this time why the self checkout scanner did not pick up the items scanned by Paolucci," the report said.
The report also stated that when officers arrived at the store, they found Paolucci and Hitchcock "causing a scene, being very loud and disrupting customers while yelling and swearing at Wal-Mart security." Later in the report, when a Wal-Mart employee was asked if the boys had been threatened, she denied it but did agree they were told that "if ... (they) did not be quiet, they would sit in the (squad) car with (the) deputy."
The report added the boys played a video game while in the security room and at one point apologized "for being disrespectful." According to the report, one of the boys advised that he and his brother were "just scared."
Twins still having problems
At any rate, Paolucci said the boys have suffered a type of post-traumatic stress disorder since the experience. Both wet their beds, although one has stopped, and both have had nightmares about one security employee in particular, he said.
"They're terrified, horrified. We've had to change their medication twice,'' he said.
Asked if they intend to sue Wal-Mart, Paolucci said he and Hitchcock probably won't because other attorneys have advised them Wal-Mart historically "plays hardball" and isn't prone to settle cases out of court.
"We could spend a couple million dollars to sue them," Paolucci said.
But that doesn't mean there won't be court action. Paolucci and Hitchcock e-mailed The Tribune a copy of a letter from a law firm representing Wal-Mart seeking 10 times the retail price of the items the store still claims were shoplifted by Paolucci. The letter states the matter will be dropped if Paolucci submits the $158.40 payment.
The couple said they won't pay it, and should civil action result, they'll fight it.
The Tribune is not allowing comments on this story.

CS Visits the Prince of Persia Set - Part I
OT: Don't know his sexual preference lol, but I love Matthew Gray Gubler (the actor in Criminal Minds) and his website. All of those drawing things open up.. I could stay there and play all day! He's an illustrator and he did all the artwork.... IMO that's sexy.
Pfft!
Matthew Gray Gubler (the actor in Criminal Minds) and his website
Very cool web design :)
Someone who's good-looking and nice and talented and creative and smart and polite and fun is way better than someone who's gorgeous, egotistical, rude and bearding.
Jake used to be polite and fun.
Jake IS polite and fun. Duncan Jones said so and Gordon waited 5 yeas for Jake to do the right project together :)
Jones and Duncan = $$$$
^^ of course Jake will be polite and fun with them.
That new POP interview was done a year ago. Jeeze.
Jones and Duncan = $$$$ of course Jake will be polite and fun with them.Jones and Duncan = $$$$ of course Jake will be polite and fun with them.
I think you can't hide your true nature from people you work with, so I believe that Jake is polite and fun.
Ooops, double quote :)
Bastards, nothing about Jake's acting!
With Lionsgate understandably basking in the glow of this weekend's $1.8-million, $100,000-per-screen, record-shattering opening of "Precious," the already stratospheric Oscar buzz is likely to soar even higher.
But do they have a second contender looming in the wings, and if so, why is no blogger buzzing about "Brothers" even with its Dec. 4 opening less than a month away?
This powerful and timely story of a decorated Marine, presumed dead in Afghanistan, who comes home to great conflict within his family and within his own head, is a poignant and explosive look at the toll that combat exacts from veterans' lives. It feels especially pertinent now in the wake of the Ft. Hood tragedy and shows that war doesn't really end for some vets once they return. It's an American remake of Susanne Bier's acclaimed 2004 Danish film, "Brodre."
The pedigree of the cast is certainly impressive. There's Tobey Maguire, Oscar nominee and Golden Globe winner Natalie Portman, BAFTA winner and Oscar nominee Jake Gyllenhaal, Oscar nominee Sam Shepard, Oscar nominee Mare Winningham and current awards season "it" girl for "An Education," Carey Mulligan.
The Oscar pedigree of the film's director, Jim Sheridan, is also dazzling. His films have earned 16 nominations, including nods for "In America," "In the Name of the Father" and "My Left Foot." He usually writes his own scripts, but this one was adapted by David Benioff from Bier's and Anders Thomas Jensen's original.
Sheridan received a tremendous ovation Sunday afternoon when he was introduced for a Q&A after a very well-received Directors Guild of America screening. The free-wheeling director engaged in a refreshingly honest and thoughtful conversation about the film's bumpy journey to being remade.
Sheridan pointed out that he doesn't normally like the idea of remakes, but this one seemed irresistible, if full of minefields. In the end he believes it is quite faithful to the spirit of the Danish original and said Relativity Media, which financed the film, even did research screenings on Bier's movie to get a take from an American audience for help in shaping the redo. He also mentioned there were some reshoots as he tried to get a grip on what the movie should be (although he couldn't recall the exact details of what he actually reshot).
The film was finished by November 2008 but Relativity agreed to hold it for a year to get just the right release date. Sheridan says selling any film with a war theme is tricky and fall is a better time for this particular subject matter. With Summit's widely acclaimed Iraq war flick, "The Hurt Locker" opening last summer, it was probably a wise move.
Due to his strong performance, Maguire's name undoubtedly will start popping up on Best Actor lists. Oddly, Sheridan says Maguire was doubtful of his own acting in this role, though he remained dedicated to the film's message. Portman is good as well, and 10-year-old Bailee Madison, as their young daughter, Isabelle, is remarkable in every way, one of the most natural and effective child performances in a long while.
The end credits song, "Winter" by U2 could figure big time in Oscar, Globe and Critics Choice contests as well. Sheridan, who had previous experience with Bono on "In the Name of the Father" and "In America," says the band really took to the movie and worked on trying to get the song just right for about six months.
He also talked at length about two scenes that are sure to be remembered. One is a pivotal moment between Maguire and his friend (Patrick Flueger) after they are captured by the Taliban. The other is an incredibly intense dinner table scene after he returns home. Without giving too much away, let's just say it centers on Madison and a balloon.
"From my experience growing up with my own family every night, I know a lot about dinners and creating tension," Sheridan said to much laughter in the audience.
With Oscar watchers concentrating on catching the more highly anticipated, but still largely unseen December releases, "Invictus," "Nine," "Lovely Bones," "It's Complicated" and "Avatar," could "Brothers" come out of nowhere and join the hunt too?
I wouldn't underestimate the Academy's respect for Sheridan, and if Lionsgate can gain any traction for this tough little movie, it could surprise.
Tobey, Jake, Natalie and Oscar: O 'Brothers' where art thou?
He [Sheridan] also mentioned there were some reshoots as he tried to get a grip on what the movie should be (although he couldn't recall the exact details of what he actually reshot).

No Brothers reviews this week.
Finally an adult film with good script, cast and direction
I was not looking forward to this film (another anti-military anti-war film) but this is none of that! It is a wonderful story of people and their relationships and emotions. The story is beautifully told and the cast is uniformly wonderful although it seemed at first the brothers might better have switched parts but as the plot unfolds the casting is perfect. The plot: In a family of a retired Marine Sgt (Sam Shepard) there are two sons (Toby Maguire) an active duty Captain and a Ex con wastrel (Jake Guillenhaal) who gets out of prison as his brother is about to return to the war in Afghanistan. When his brother is lost in Afghanistan the brother slowing steps up to support the wife and two girls. When Maguire Is found alive months later the dynamic of the family is greatly changed as the whole family works out the complications of their lives. This is one of the best pictures of the year, dramatic, involving, with good dialog and scene; and the actors and director play them to the hilt.
^^^ That review sounds fishy. Review by Jack/Jeff troll?
The story is beautifully told and the cast is uniformly wonderful although it seemed at first the brothers might better have switched parts...
Huh?
I think it means Jake would have been more suited as a crazy marine and Tobey as the reformed ex-con.
The first sentence of the review states that the reviewer is an idiot,anyway.
And is there anyone in the web that is able to spell Jake's last name properly?? (besides us,of course)
an active duty Captain and a Ex con wastrel (Jake Guillenhaal)
LOL, not a review by Jack/Jeff!
Interview with Jake Gyllenhaal about Prince of Persia
ONTD comments
British Enquirer (a re-print of US Star Magazine) has an article about Reese finally accepting Jake's marriage proposal and that they are planning a small private wedding before the end of the year with just family and close friends. It says that Jake was overheard saying that marrying him is the best birthday present she could give him. It has the usual BS about how wonderful Reese is, how she always put the kids first, that they are living together and he is the greatest step-father.
Another Star magazine engagement story? Those people really have no imagination! lol
Dear Ted:
George Eads is engaged, and now Jensen Ackles. I see a pattern here...But thumbs up to Matthew Bomer!

Dear Wise One:
I must say even I'm a little thrown off by the pattern. Can you enlighten me please?
I think it might be real this time :(
If they spent so many years bearding is because an oficial wedding was on the plans. And the timing is perfect! The release of PoP and the start of Jake being, finally, a mainstream Hollywood star
oh well... goodbye,Dear Toothy...goodbye.
In some ways I wish they would get married. That would destroy the tiny spark of sexiness left in Jake and his career would probably take its final nosedive. The divorce would follow and Reeke would be officially gone forever.
Bad Ted :)
No wonder Lindsay was devasted whrn Heath died, she was dating him!:
"In a phone conversation recorded between Dina Lohan and the despicable Michael, Orange Oprah reveals that Lindsay was dating Heath Ledger before he died and has valid concerns for the safety of her daughter and her bleak future.
"And she was dating Heath when he died," Dina said. "I don't know if you know that, but I know cause I would drop her off and they were friends very, very close, ok?"
His death was a terrible shock and devastated Lindsay! This worried the family about her own actions.
"Because when she's drunk or takes an Adderall with it she will do something like Heath Ledger did in a second without thinking," continued Dina.

Come on, that's lame Star magazine crap.
No wonder Lindsay was devasted whrn Heath died, she was dating him!
WHAT?!?
Let's be honest. They were not "dating." He was boinking her and a bunch of other women (Helena Christensen, some gal he picked up--she was interviewed by NY Mag after his death, some chick at some bar in London, Gemma Ward, probably Mary Kate and god knows who else.) They were not "dating." And honestly, those are only the ones we've heard about....
Apparently Heath was "dating" a lot of chicks right before he died...
