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.

«Oldest ‹Older 1401 – 1600 of 1767 Newer› Newest»Exactly. And give me a break about that Star mag item. I believe they ran an exact article like that a year ago saying Jake/Reese were going to marry in the summer.
He was JUST friends with Helena Chistensen, besides she had an official boyfriend at that time and she used to be friends with Michelle as well, so I doubt they were sleeping together.
The "picked up girl" story was really a stripper, who told the magazine Heath was snorting coke all the time while doing her and crying because he wanted to get back with Michelle. A believable story? Maybe or maybe not.
Gemma Ward joined him on his final trip to Perth, but probably it was because she is from there too, so...
The Olsen twin was only his drugs provider, nothing more.
I bet Lindsay Lohan was screwing other guys (& girl) besides Heath at that time too.

so, is Toothy finally going to marry the Bitch??!
12:15 PM, tell me, HOW do you know what Heath did and didn't do? Proof plaese.
12:17 PM
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!
"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."
I think that Reeke is a showmance, but I also have come to believe that Reeke will actually get married. There is no way they would invest 3 years of their lives, Reese's kids and Reese's so blessed/wonderful life now/wonderful mother rep for anything else. I doubt after the lengths Reese went to after splitting with Ryan to make her look like the injured party and that she's always going on about how she has moved on and come out stronger and her life is wonderful right now, that she would have Reeke end and have to start all over again. She doesn 't want to be viewed like J. Anninston that's probably why she was ready for Reeke. But I also think if she marries Jake, she won't get divorced again. How could the perfect Reese be twice divorced? If two men left her then that would mean it's her at fault and not the guys.
Reese was dumped by Ryan. She couldn't do anything about it.
I have no proof,12:20 PM
I just thought it was unnecessary to write IMO in every freaking post
But if you think differently, please, let us know. I enjoy reading other people's POV
Gemma Ward joined him on his final trip to Perth, but probably it was because she is from there too, so...
Gemma Ward spent the Christmas with Heath before he died. He introduced her to his family as his girlfriend. Her father, a respected Perth doctor confirmed this. She, indeed, was devastated by his death.
I'm warning you, 12:32 PM
12:20 PM is going to demand some proof for that.
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....
I doubt the "chick in London bar" story and that he had something going with MKO. He probably met MKO at a party and exchanged numbers.
Yes Heath most likely dated Gemma, but it probably would have lasted 2years max., like most of his other relationships. He wasn't a one person man (I don't think Jake is either btw.)
True. only that Jake is a little more discreet ;)
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.
Jeez, don't be so melodramatic! LOL. So what if it's true? It's his life. I'll still follow him until I get bored. ;)
Ended up sitting across Reese Witherspoon!

^^anyone know where this is? Airport, train station, bus stop?!
bus stop - no way
train station - not very likely
airport - most likely
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.
This is the exact same thing that was said last year, remember? They either recycled the same article or the British Enquirer is a year behind on Reeke PR.
I doubt the "chick in London bar" story and that he had something going with MKO. He probably met MKO at a party and exchanged numbers."
I wouldn't be surprised if he banged them--I think he banged LOTS and lots of gals before he died. He was depressed and needed an outlet in addition the meds. And he wasn't exactly chaste. Neither is Jake.
As for Jake being discreet, I think Ted C would disagree with you. Unless you mean discreet with women..
Austin Nichols is proud to be a One Tree Hill cast member!
The 29-year-old actor, who’s dating his co-star Sophia Bush, recently sat down with Examiner.com to talk what’s next for the show, his newest interest and finally being a One Tree Hill regular…
On being a recurring character on the show: “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.”
On what he hopes happens on the show with Sophia: “When Mark (Schwahn, the show’s creator) 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.”
On what he likes to do off-screen: “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.”
For more from Austin, check out Examiner.com.

"Because when she's drunk or takes an Adderall with it"
Dumb Dina. Adderall is one of the few meds that's ok with alcohol.
LOL, Austin can BS with the best of them!
Apparently Heath was "dating" a lot of chicks right before he died...
No wonder his back hurt!
I learned from the best!
The odd thing is, the twitterer has Rockford Illinois for their location. No mention in their twitters re visiting Pitt.
Don't Drag Heath Ledger Into This!
Lindsay Lohan was doing down-low sexy times with Heath Ledger right before he died. That's what White Oprah claims anyway in a yet another taped phone conversation released by the savior of all saviors Michael Lohan. White Oprah is always dropping those names. And the hits just keep coming out of Michael's swollen ass mouth.
Radar posted the conversation between White Oprah and Michael Lohan. As usual, you don't hear Michael's voice and the whole thing was probably edited using the 1999 version of Quicktime on a Mac Clamshell. In the clip, White Oprah burps that Heath Ledger's death really fucked her daughter up because they were dating at the time, "And she was dating Heath when he died. 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?"
White Oprah adds that she's scared that what happened to Heath Ledger could happen to LiLo, because she can't control herself around booze and Adderall. White Oprah also believes that LiLo can't quit her partner in pussy SamRo, because of her problems with addiction, "It's very easy for a rational person to say. But for an irrational person who has a problem with her DNA and alcohol and Adderall and asthma and every other things she's got wrong with her."
And there's a bit that Michael Lohan probably forgot to erase in post-edit, because he was too busy dry humping one of his turtlenecks (you know he has a turtleneck fetish). White Oprah said that whenever LiLo's at home with her, she's too scared to sleep by herself, "She cannot be alone. When she sleeps here she sleeps with me... she has fears from being little and what you did to us."
In the next tape, White Oprah will reveal that LiLo was making a record with Michael Jackson at the time of his death. Oh, and right before Billy Mays went off to the giant infomercial in the sky, she wants in talks to be the new face of OxiClean. You know, because she's such a fan of the Oxies.
What I want to know is, when is Dr. Drew going to produce a family version of Celebrity Rehab for the Lohans? They all need it. Well, all of them except for Nana Lohan. She's the silent voice of reason in this mess. I just picture her shaking her head while holding her glass of Metamucil.
Dlisted
And honestly, those are only the ones we've heard about....
Since Heath seemed to have screwed almost everything on two legs before he died, maybe Jake finally got his turn?
He screwed me too!
Austin Nichols: One Tree Hill is ‘Better Than Any Season Before’
Awww, Austin got his own JJ post :)
I wish he had screwed me too. What can I say? Heath was very sexy.
Since Heath seemed to have screwed almost everything on two legs before he died, maybe Jake finally got his turn?"
But those were women. Yes, I love slash too but I think Heath was straight. But then I imagine he could have screwed a male or two if he was fucked up on drugs and horny.

Me too 1:58, I would've let him put it wherever he wanted.
But then I imagine he could have screwed a male or two if he was fucked up on drugs and horny.
Tell me about it!

Go Austin! ;)

Tell me about it!"
(cough, cough).
I know Heath was depressed about loosing Michelle & Matilda, but if he loved them that much, what was what it really went wrong between them?? :(
Are you people, finally, going to admit Ledger was a major adict?? I don't know about others but the word of Lindsay's daddy is enough proof to me! ; DDDD
by superbeacon: Jake and Reese came into my friend's donut shop in the Strip in Pittsburgh yesterday. One of them is filming a movie (no clue which one of them or what movie; too lazy to go to IMDB). He said that they were very nice and very, um, affectionate with each other.
*cough*
Gays are always affectionate with their fag hags.
Are you people, finally, going to admit Ledger was a major adict??"
Probably that loss (particularly Matilda--I think he was glad to be rid of Michelle at that point but he was obsessed with his daughter--according to his pals--I believe them) escalated the drug use leading to the tragedy.
I know Heath was depressed about loosing Michelle & Matilda, but if he loved them that much, what was what it really went wrong between them?? :(
I think Michelle was a convenient hook up on the set of BBM (he seemed interested in her at first though). I don't think Heath ever intended for it to be long-term. He wasn't even ready to settle down with Watts whom he seemed to be very in love with. Michelle got pregnant, he wanted to try it for the kid's sake but instead of liking her more, he, according to Gilliam, realized they were a mismatch. That and a possible drug problem that got worse ruined the relationship. A combo of both imo.
Gays are always affectionate with their fag hags.
How can he be affectionate with Reese? Yuck Jake, just yuck!!!
(particularly Matilda--I think he was glad to be rid of Michelle at that point but he was obsessed with his daughter--according to his pals--I believe them)
I agree. I think he would've gotten rid of Michelle sooner if it weren't for Matilda.
People have different definitions of "affection."
Comment #2 at 2:27 should be deleted.

That would be me. I'm just tired of people complaining about what I want to chat about on a fucking gossip blog. It's just spending time (wasting?, lol) gossiping about actors. Big deal. Doesn't always have to be gossiping about Jake G. He and "lady love" Reese are boring as fuck at the moment anyway.
2:32, maybe he said, "The cashier's over there, babe" and then patted her shoulder to show his appreciation for her paying for the donuts.
people complaining about what I want to chat about
And you still have no clue?
Heath had his recreational drugs using totally under control. After he hooked up w/ Michele he looked like an irrecoverable junkie.
I wonder if it was because he couldn't stand her or because he was afraid of losing her...
we'll never know.
Jake is also neglecting his physsical appearance because of his "relationship" with the Chin. In his case, I have no doubt about the reason...
"He said that they were very nice and very, um, affectionate with each other."
What is this guy trying to say by adding the "um"? Is he being sarcastic? Like the stood there like strangers? Or does he mean that they were so horny with each other they needed to get a room? Wish someone could ask him to clarify. I would love to hear a first hand account of Reeke being hit and heavy. Quite honestly the only thing I could see Reese getting hot and heavy about is counting her money.
"The constant boring tired debates about Heath and drugs and Matilda and Michelle are wearing out my scroll wheel"
^^^^^^
Don't worry, we are only warming up until the Reeke's big wedding announcement ;)
Jake is also neglecting his physsical appearance because of his "relationship" with the Chin.
I disagree. He's always well groomed.

I'd say it was the first. I think he wasn't happy in this relationship.
The twit pic of Reese (at an airport?) with her bitchface is classic. LOL
Don't worry, we are only warming up until the Reeke's big wedding announcement ;)
Please don's justify your posts to that person.
Sometimes it's more fun to discuss other things than good ol' Reeke.
It's as simple as that.
Too bad Austin couldn't get the JJ post on his own, seems that JJ only posted it so he could mention Sophia Bush. What a shame Jake and Austin are so lacking in confidence that they have to hang on to the skirts of more famous women.
Î think the airport pic was one of the worst i've seen of her. Those big,horsey teeth full of tartar and plaque and her non existent lips make her mouth absolutely no nice to kiss or performe oral.
Reeke's big wedding announcement
Dearest Reeke,
go ahead and marry or end it! Do something! Give us something interesting to talk about again. Hurry, hurry!
Thanks.
2:57 IA about the LAX pic but I was talking about the one from the twitterer posted at 12:56.
"Please don's justify your posts to that person.

You are right. But that person only posted that he/she finds the whole Heath subject very boring. He/She didn't ask for the subject to be deleted or ignored.
So,it seems that we can post about Heath all we want, and others can post about how Heath bores them to death.
It is a win/win situation, don't you think? :)
bye, I love you all.....
OH SHIT!! I missed that other twitter pic!!
My God, oh my fucking God....
Mother Nature surely can be a bitch sometimes
Reese is a sociopath.
Dear Jake,
Don't marry the beard. Get engaged. You can be engaged for years. And as long as she's wearing the ring, you're "straight." You don't even have to be there. It's bearding-by-proxy... the ring takes care of everything.
XXXOOO
Hayden
But that person only posted that he/she finds the whole Heath subject very boring.
Yes but s/he posts that all the time! It's tiring.
He/She didn't ask for the subject to be deleted or ignored.
LOL, now that would be something. ;)
Alright, I'm moving on. :)
OH SHIT!! I missed that other twitter pic!!
My God, oh my fucking God....
LOL. I'm surprised the lady who took the pic isn't dead or turned into stone.
Reese is a sociopath.
Let's not exaggerate. She's a pretentious, bitchy little thing, but I doubt she's a sociopath.
Yes but s/he posts that all the time! It's tiring.
Ironic that this^^ is coming from someone who posts miles of redundant paragraphs day after day after day about Heath, drugs, Michelle, Matilda. They're complaining about having to read 1 or 2 sentences from another person who finds it boring?!!
I'm not the person who posted about Reese being a sociopath, but IA. There is definitely something majorly off about her, IMO.
Ironic that this^^ is coming from someone who posts miles of redundant paragraphs day after day after day about Heath, drugs, Michelle, Matilda.
Day after day? I don't think so. Every once in a while posters talk about it, yes. But I don't see the big deal.
As I've said I'm moving on.
Another planted marriage rumor? There must be some kind of bad news they want to squash. Maybe Jake's people are trying to downplay the Source Code announcement (which feels small and experimental) and distract us from the continuing non-movie Moon project. Source code sounds like a second choice to me, kind of like Nailed was a second choice to Farragut North. Jake took Nailed because he couldn't get what he really wanted, and look at the mess that turned out to be.
Maybe Cantara is about to stir up the hornet's nest again. Maybe Reeke is so stale, old and unbelievable to the press now that CAA, Inc has to float more marriage garbage to stoke the gossip rags into action. Maybe Jake is bored silly on set and needs a distraction, and Reese is bored in LA and needs an ego boost. But whatever it is, something is rotten in Denmark, and these rumors are an attempt to mask the smell.
There must be some kind of bad news they want to squash.
We'll have to wait and see what's in tomorrow's Star magazine, but that sounds like old and recycled Star magazine Reeke bullshit.
3:27, "marriage rumor" was one story in British rag - the EXACT same story that was planted in all the rags last year around this time. Remember how Reeke was supposed to get married on/after Jake's birthday?
I second the person who is tired of the Heath posts, drug related, Matilda, Michelle, Jake. The man's been dead for 2 years and it’s very sad but people need to move on already. Sheesh.
Dear 3:36 PM,
use your scroll button and let people discuss what they want.
Thank you.
IMO that 1 year old rumor isn't CAA's doing. Just a tabloid that has nothing else and is recycling stories.
"marriage rumor" was one story in British rag - the EXACT same story that was planted in all the rags last year around this time
Are you saying that US Star magazine recycled the story or that UK rag recycled the story or ...?
I second the person who is tired of the Heath posts, drug related, Matilda, Michelle, Jake.
Why did you add Jake?
British rag. See 11:35 AM comment.
I was thinking about Jake refering to Heath as "special friend". Let's suppose Jake is straight and Ted's BI's are BS, could it be that Heath was the only man Jake had romantic feelings for?
Straight men can love their male friends, but don't have romantic feelings for them.
3:41PM, because there's a couple of pesters here who bring up Jake and Heath every other day. It’s getting annoying.
^posters
Straight men can love their male friends, but don't have romantic feelings for them.
You have to regared the circumstances. They became close friends and on top of that had to get physically very close, kiss, cuddle, feel each other up etc... I also noticed sexual tension between them in RL. And if both were not opposed to try out...;)
I think they did. Tried it out.
I think they did. Tried it out.
Quite honestly? I think so too.
lol freudian slip
You can say that again!!! lol
"I second the person who is tired of the Heath posts, drug related, Matilda, Michelle, Jake. The man's been dead for 2 years and it’s very sad but people need to move on already. Sheesh."
So? Jake has been bearding for MORE than 2 years and we still talking about it.
I really don't understand why some posters get angry when a subject of their dislikes is being discussed.
JUST DON'T READ IT/ANSWER THEM, and that's it.
3:41PM, because there's a couple of [posters] here who bring up Jake and Heath every other day.
I like that, you don't. It's not fair to spoil other people's fun just because you don't care for it.
So? Jake has been bearding for MORE than 2 years and we still talking about it.
And we'll probably talk about it one decade more unless some of us lose interest. I think Reeke is here to stay.
Nah, all bad things must come to an end!
The twit pic of Reese (at an airport?) with her bitchface is classic. LOL
She's pissed that she has to go home and take care of her kids.
Who thinks Brothers could turn out to become a B.O. hit? People seem to be looking forward to see it. I mean it has Tobey "Spiderman" Maguire and Natalie Portman in it and Jake of course.

No way. It might get good reviews but war films, particularly about Aghanistan/Iraq have all done shitty box office the last few years. Even the film "In the Valley of Elah," which starred Tommy Lee Jones, Charlize Theron and Josh Brolin (I saw it--it was wonderful and Tommy Lee deserved his Oscar nod) got middling business. And sorry, Jake/Natalie/Tobey are NOT that popular despite their hype and PR. None of them can bring them in like Will Smith unless they're in franchises (Natalie-Star Wars, Tobey-Spiderman). But continue to believe your delusions.
Who thinks Brothers could turn out to become a B.O. hit?
I don't see how. Tobey "Spiderman" Maguire is Spiderman star x 3, but people don't care about him or his movies.
Everyone was excited and doing Oscar talk about Rendition, Zodiac and Proof.
There is no way to know how "Brothers" will perform beforehand. You can not really predict those things.
The only thing that interests me about "Brothers" is Jake's promo work (that he doesn't appear to be doing). I'm curious if he will talk about Reeke and Heath.
I don't intend to see "Brothers" or his other movies as long as the bearding continues.
I was thinking..maybe the reason why Reeke spends so much time together is because they're in love. j/k ha ha. But actually I was wondering about why so much time together, like weekends. It's possible that they're working on something together like writing a screenplay or putting together a production. It would explain the weekends, the association with Maggie, being seen in NY and possibly SF because of meetings with others, the coffee runs when they take a quick break from the project. It's just a thought.

Answer from the person on ONTD about Reeke in the donut shop:
lots of PDA!!
^^but as said before, it's one person's interpretation.
James Franco on GH (promo): It's hilarious--he looks like he's having fun: http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2009/11/10/james-franco-general-hospital/
Remember those shots of Jake and Kirsten at the pool the summer of 2005--that was the period when Toothy Tile exploded. Doesn't mean a thing, Alma.

LOL! Yeah, right.
Answer from the person on ONTD about Reeke in the donut shop
And we should believe that poster because ....? Exactly.
Because everyone who posts on the internet is above and beyond irreproachable credibility.
A hypothetical question: What if it turns out that Jake is straight and just experimented with guys in the past? Would you still be fans?
"one person's interpretation"
One thing I've noticed is that tweeters and occasional bloggers will say Reeke is "cute together/affectionate/definitely a couple" but no one actually gives reasons why they think this. Like that answer "lots of PDA" - wtf does that mean? No one says "I saw them in each others arms and kissing" or "he was rubbing her butt" (sorry for my 2 bad examples!), they only say stuff like "they're definitely together" or like above, PDA (actually that's the first time I've heard that about them in a sighting). Are people lazy about details, is their interpretation more like wishful thinking, or is it PR plants made to look real but are vague? If I saw 2 celebs making out or whatever, even if I didn't care about them, I would still be detailed in what I saw. But all of Reeke's, it seems like no one is relaying the truth - something's always missing from their descriptions. Is it just me who feels this way?
But actually I was wondering about why so much time together, like weekends. It's possible that they're working on something together like writing a screenplay or putting together a production.
Just bearding.
NYC was about beard being bored in Philly.
Last weekend Ryan was free to take kids so Reese was free to make her regular "we are dating" movie set visit, maybe meet LAOD director or producers for a dinner. What more could a beard want? lol
it seems like no one is relaying the truth - something's always missing from their descriptions
Remember those 3 (4?) NYC Reeke photos? It's simple, there is nothing to report.
A hypothetical question: What if it turns out that Jake is straight and just experimented with guys in the past? Would you still be fans?
I didn't become Jake fan because he's gay.
I didn't become Jake fan because he's gay.
Me neither. I'd still be a fan no matter his sexual orientation.
Being a straight female I can't lose. If Jake is gay he's a challenge. If Jake is straight then I have slightly more than a .00000000000000000000000000001 chance of fucking him. lol
I can "forgive" him for being straight. But being a famewhore and a pretentious Hollywood brat is a major turn off :(
Remember those 3 (4?) NYC Reeke photos? It's simple, there is nothing to report.
IA. IMO it's wishful thinking and misinterpretation on the "sighter's" part, and acting/bearding from Reeke. I go places with my gay bff and everyone assumes we're a couple or married, just because it's the 2 of us and we joke and touch each other and get along.
I didn't become a fan of Jake because he is gay either. However, I did become a fan because I thought he was different than other actors: I thought he was sexy and hot, the sexual ambiguity gave him some mystery, he loved his dogs and sports, and I thought he valued his family, his craft and his personal integrity over being just another fame-whoring, lying cookie-cutter, safe bland star.
Boy was I wrong.
I don't intend to see "Brothers" or his other movies as long as the bearding continues.
I'm not that strong - I'm curious as a cat!
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.
Bastards, nothing about Jake's acting!

Awww, don't worry Jake, you are the best in Brothers, that nice man who deleted his Brothers review said so!
Why is everyone surprised that Maguire seems to be getting most of the praise? It's been rumored for quite some time by those who've seen it that he gives the best performance in the movie. Will the performance be good enough for important nods? We will see!
There are 0 (zero) Brothers reviews, so the news about Maguire getting most of the praise has been greatly exaggerated :)
Tobey is an excellent actor. And VERY underrated. I've said that for years LONG before the Brothers film. He was wonderful (and underrated) in The Ice Storm, wonderful (and underrated) in Cider House Rules and wonderful (and underrated) in The Wonder Boys. He may not be as "hot" as Jake but he's a much, much better actor.

Q: I recently watched a new series from USA Network titled White Collar, and I was stunned by the gorgeousness of the lead character, Neal, played by the beautiful Matthew Bomer. I can't seem to find much info about him. Mind to fill in more? -- rcLoy, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
A: Bomer is from Houston where his father was a Dallas Cowboy. He was a high school (and, later, acting school) classmate of Pushing Daisies’ Lee Pace. He started on soaps, almost played Superman in the latest Superman movie, and co-starred on the TV show Tru Calling (with Eliza Dushku) and in the movie Flight Plan (with Jodie Foster), and also had a reoccurring role on Chuck.
And, oh yeah, a week and a half ago, the entire internet was buzzing with rumors that he’s openly gay. Several bloggers with some credibility weighed in with personal stories about Bomer and his supposed same-sex partner. There was even a private photograph circulating supposedly of him kissing another man.
So is he an openly gay man? Nope. We checked, and he’s not.
Does he fall under our new category of a celebrity like Adam Lambert who, pre-coming out, was basically publicly “out” even if he hadn’t actually said the words, “I’m gay”? Not really. Except for that photograph (which might not be real, and doesn’t mean he’s gay even if it is), the “evidence” of Bomer being gay is all hearsay. Bomer may or may not be gay in his private life, but he definitely isn’t gay in his public one. To say otherwise at this point is just speculation – and as I’ve said many times, I don’t write something just because “everyone knows” it to be true.
So how do I refer to Bomer? Not-gay-but-not-necessarily-straight? Sexual Orientation Unknown? No matter what I decide, I’ll probably be criticized (but that’s my problem, not yours).
But the issue really isn’t about Matthew Bomer. Every week, I get a number of emails asking me, “Is so-and-so gay?” Sometimes I’ll research them and learn they are or they aren’t, but often it’s a genuine gray area, where the actor has never answered the question (and his or her publicist won’t answer my question). Sometimes I’ll have inside information – someone I trust who tells me of a personal encounter with the actor and his boyfriend.
But how do I write this without repeating gossip which we don’t traffic in on AfterElton.com – and without invading a person’s private life and, perhaps, negatively impacting his career? Because whether or not being openly gay affects one’s career, I believe that’s for the individual to decide, not me. I also believe that even celebrities have a right to a private, personal life – and, frankly, I’m kinda shocked that there’s anyone who doesn’t agree, much less a gay person or gay ally.
On the other hand, how do I, writing for a gay site, answer a question about Matthew Bomer and not mention the events of last week? Not mentioning them feels like censorship – and, frankly, makes me look clueless.
It’s all enough to make my poor monkey head explode!

Well, I just saw the Brothers trailer on the gay channel (Logo). If he weren't bearding, I'd actually consider watching the film in a theater, but he clearly is bearding, so I'm not watching anything. The US weekly-loving fan-girls can fill up the seats.
That Brothers got a standing o means nothing. People were invited to the screening, the director was there. Of course they are going to rave. You don't go to a dinner party and not rave about the food to the host. The reviews will trickle in and the whole thing will be over by 12/9. A movie like that lives on the opening weekend.
The bearding contract runs 6 mos past POP. Reese will be ready to move to a real man by then. By that I mean an eligible(straight)man.
I'm a Gay Real Man!
First reviews for Brothers.
(Not so good and not much love for Natalie):
theplaylist
I wonder why they chose NP? First, she's not a very good actress, second, she looks way too young to play the mother. What were you thinking Sheridan?
^^I think someone like Kate Winslet, Michelle Wlilliams or even Carey Mulligan (even though youger than Natalie) would have made a much believable mother.

First Reviews Of Jim Sheridan's 'Brothers' Surface
OK, no one's really seen it yet, but two "reviews" of Jim Sheridan's "Brothers" are out there. One, from the L.A. Times, is not really a review per se and it comes from Oscar blogger Peter Hammond so proceed with caution because as we all remember, his taste is rather crap and he was named the Movie Quote Whore Of The Year in 2007 by EFilmCritics.
As discussed several times here, "Brothers" is a remake of the 2004 Danish film, "Broder," directed by Susanne Bier. In the remake by Sheridan, Jake Gyllenhaal plays the black sheep of a snowy Pennsylvania-based family whose bad behavior has left him in jail for three years while Tobey Maguire plays the military man older brother done good with Natalie Portman as his wife and the mother of their two daughters. When Maguire's character's tour of duty in Afghanistan goes awry and he is presumed killed in action, Gyllenhaal's character — who has just been released from prison — starts to encroach, seemingly to finally give back and support the family. Things are thrown into chaos, however, when Maguire unexpectedly returns.
Hammond posits, does Lionsgate have "a second contender looming in the wings?," calls the film a "powerful" story and says Maguire could get some awards love, "due to his strong performance, Maguire's name undoubtedly will start popping up on Best Actor lists."
He says that after the screening, "Sheridan received a tremendous ovation Sunday afternoon when he was introduced for a Q&A. "
As previously reported, U2's "Winter" plays over the end credits and Hammond posits it could figure into the Oscars, but we're pretty sure that track was already released in bonus-disc form (though technically just over a short film directed by Anton Corbijn that accompanies the digipack format release of No Line on the Horizon, so maybe that will still count). He also has some praise for Natalie Portman's performance, but again, Hammond isn't necessarily the greatest source on the web (Honestly after that major 2007 diss we stopped reading him all together; the evidence of quotes therein and the films he backed was beyond embarrassing).
Over on the opposite spectrum of things is a review in the recent issue of Film Comment which is not online, but written by Laura Kern and excerpted here (she also writes for the New York Times). She says that fans of Bier's 2004 film (that certainly counts us) should, "steer clear of this ill-advised though faithful remake." She says Portman cannot compare to Connie Nielsen, (the female lead in the original who is rather amazing) isn't very believable as a mother of two and calls David Benioff's script, "near-blank working." She adds that the average Gyllenhaal gives a "respectable performance compared to Maguire" and says the appearance of Sam Shepard and Carey Mulligan add some clout, "but not nearly enough."
It's short, but overall a negative review. So thumbs up and thumbs down, really. And though we don't follow Kern's work closely, we're inclined to side with almost anyone over Hammond. Still, we need to see it with our own eyes and are actually looking forward to it. We assume those that haven't seen the original will have less worry and/or issues, but it is a remarkable film so Sheridan has a lot to live up to.

Well, it could be worse.
What does that "respectable performance" quote mean? That Tobey was bad, or good - and that Jake was good or bad, compared to him?
BiancaGarbo: "STRAIGHT" by Gerard Butler "BENT" by Jake Gyllenhall
or "BENT OVER"
My favorite!
What does that "respectable performance" quote mean?
That Jake is good and better than Tobey.
'the average Gyllenhaal gives a "respectable performance compared to Maguire"'
^In the context of the sentence it means that even Jake who is an average actor does a better job than Maguire.
The lack of interest in Brothers from the critics (not one full review with the premiere less than a month away) is not a good sign.
^In the context of the sentence it means that
...even Jake who is an average actor does a better job than Maguire.
I agree with the average actor part, and disagree that it says he does a better job than TM.
That's not how I interpret it. The person is saying Jake is okay but Maguire is far superior (in fact--Jake doesn't compare to Maguire).
Shades of Heath/Jake BBM reviews again?
I'm glad I asked the question about Tobey/Jake! It's apparent the statement can be interpreted different ways, as you two [6:43 and 7:00] see it different too.
Hey, shut up! You want me to throw hissy fits again? Trust me, it wasn't pretty the first time.
It wasn't pretty the 24th time or the 121st time or the 563rd time either.
LOL
**I think someone like Kate Winslet, Michelle Wlilliams or even Carey Mulligan (even though youger than Natalie) would have made a much believable mother**
^^^^^^
NOOOO!!!! No Michelle Williams playing sore face Alma again, Pleeease!!!!
From that first, Keep It In Your Pants (deleted), Brothers review:
The roles they fill are difficult, emotionally charged, and complex, but this is probably why they chose Portman and Macguire in the first place. Still, the best performance is clearly from Gyllenhaal, who seamlessly portrays the cautious yet fun-loving Uncle of Portman’s daughters.
Why was that review deleted?
Anybody knows?
Only the blogger, Rye Brairy?, knows :)
Keep it in your pants

If you compare his work with hers you will find hers more accurate; This is a good essay compared with your last one.

First off, she's a better actress than Natalie. MUCH better. Secondly, she projects a maturity and a wisdom beyond her years that makes her a natural for playing moms (and this has nothing to do with the fact she's an actual mom). I always thought Michelle would have been a better fit for Reese Witherspoon's role in "Rendition" but she isn't as A-list as Reese.
Now that I have long hair & the Prince of Persia trailer is out people mistake me for Jake Gyllenhal... Or whatever his fuckn last name is.
Derek Villarreal
New PoP still - Prince Jake G with macho hair beads
she (MICHELLE) projects a maturity and a wisdom beyond her years that makes her a natural for playing moms
^^
Yes.She is perfect playing sore housewife mom.And that's all she does. I saw Syndoche the other day and the scene where she waits all night for her husband in the kitchen is a copy of her performance as Alma in BBM.
I had hopes for her when i saw Wendy&LUcy, she was lovely in that movie,absolutely perfect IMO. But then she started to play safe again and returned to do the same.
I don't see any "wisdom" or maturity in her, talking in a pretentious and solemn way ala Coelho doesn't mean she is deep or smart.
And of course she would have been better for the Rendition part, a ficus would have done a finer job than Reese!
ficus would have done a finer job than Reese
LOL
She adds that the average Gyllenhaal gives a "respectable performance compared to Maguire"...
In the context of the sentence it means that even Jake who is an average actor does a better job than Maguire.
The person is saying Jake is okay but Maguire is far superior (in fact--Jake doesn't compare to Maguire).
What, one sentence with two completely different interpretations?!
How are we going to decode and agree what's Jake really saying in his future interviews? :)
Reese was terrible in Rendition. She's a really good comedy actress, great timing, but I have yet to see a good dramatic performance. She certainly didn't deserve an Oscar for WoF.
Will Jim Sheridan's 'Brothers' movie command 2009 Oscar nods?
Why is ‘Brothers’ the Movie so Highly Anticipated?
Maybe it’s the mixture of themes such as war, family, love, death and infidelity. Maybe it’s the tear-jerking “Brothers” movie trailer. However, I am willing to bet it’s the cast: Natalie Portman, Jake Gyllenhaal and Tobey Maguire top the list of actors in “Brothers.” Put together the fans of those three, and you’re going to be selling a lot of movie tickets.
If you’re not sure yet whether you want to save your money for a ticket so you can avoid needing money loans when the movie “Brothers” comes out, here’s the “Brothers” movie trailer.
...
I think perhaps the “Brothers” trailer gives a bit too much away, but it certainly does draw interest. Though I already know the husband isn’t dead, and I already know how he reacts when he catches wind of romance between his wife and brother, it’s hard to tell from the trailer exactly what type of movie this is. Is it a heartwarming drama about helping soldiers deal with hardship, and in the end everything ends up OK? Or is it a tragedy where people get killed? I guess the filmmakers are doing a good job of selling this film, at least to me.
Box office bounty
Thanks to the star-studded cast and the war theme, I predict “Brothers” will do extremely well at the box office. The same weekend it hits the big screen, “Armored” comes out. “Armored” is a crime thriller starring Matt Dillon and Laurence Fishburne, but I don’t think it’ll have as wide an appeal as “Brothers.”
Other offerings for Dec. 4 are comedy “Everybody’s Fine” and horror comedy “Transylmania.” “Everbody’s Fine” stars Robert DeNiro and is a good alternative to “Brothers” for those who want to laugh instead of cry. Actually, there might be a little bit of crying, but it’s the good kind.

Did critics see the movie?
"Did critics see the movie?"
According to Jeffrey Wells from Hollywood Elsewhere - No!
That could explain the lack of Brothers reviews :)
Some people are comparing PoP and Clash of the Titans trailers:
"Clash of the Titans" trailer
Laura Kern is Managing Editor at Film Comment. She is saying Jake is average as an actor, but that he was able to give a "respectable performance" compared to the more talented Maguire.
Whare did Laura say that Maguire is more talented?
Funny AICN comment on Tobey Maguire's acting ability.
"Tobey Maguire is a practitoner of 'internalized acting'. Just like De Niro and Redford. Where without dialogue, or obvious facial expressions they can convey to the audience what the character is feeling and thinking. Using only their eyes and the most subtle of movements.
Only problem is, he is shit at it."
"Lady Gaga stole your act." — President Obama to Cyndi Lauper. [La Dolce Musto]
Only problem is, he is shit at it.
Ouch!
"Did critics see the movie?"
According to Jeffrey Wells from Hollywood Elsewhere - No!
Who needs critics?! :)
“G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra” opens Friday, but Paramount Pictures isn’t screening the blockbuster for critics beforehand. Only a select few writers from blogs and movie Web sites have seen it for review — such as Harry Knowles, the self-professed “Head Geek” from Ain’t It Cool News — and their opinions have been mostly positive.
I'm glad it's not being pre-screened; I think sometimes the critics can do a good movie disservice, and it's only their opinion after all, no more important than ours. It'll be interesting to go into Brothers cold - the trailer still leaves room for what could happen, and any hints it gives are no different than what's done in other trailers.
Well - If that doesn’t have testosterone spelled all over it, I’m not sure what does.
Thought Prince of Persia looked a little too…Disney? Wishing Sam Worthington wasn’t a cyborg or a blue Jar Jar Binks? Need a good reason to dust off your useless Greek mythology knowledge?
In this new trailer for Clash of the Titans, Avatar‘s Worthington wields a sword as the heroic son of Zeus (Liam Neeson). The remake follows Perseus on his journey to battle Hades (Ralph Fiennes), the god of the underworld.
The updated version of Titans will open on March 26.

I'm loving the looks of Avatar - it's the lead Na'vi female character who's the beautiful one. :)
We were told that Avatar will be something special so I'm disappointed - can't believe Cameron thought that a hero in a wheelchair and those blue catlike people are good idea.
I like the idea - it's very touching, what I can imagine might happen, and to me they look like lots of different animals/people, very striking. I love where he's going with it, it says a lot that he makes the indigenous people like many other animals.
Cameron is working on Avatar since 1994, they are going to spend 500 million dollars for one movie - and anorexic cat people is the best they could think of? Lame.
I'm glad they make movies for everyone's taste.

I think that trailer reveals too much - thre are only two things that I really want to know: why was Tommy in jail and what will bring Grace and her husband together again (I only presume that will happen).
They had me at hello with Avatar - I love the premise - I know that James Cameron has been working on this for eons and I had seen an initial trailer - but the latest one won my heart. I adore the Na'vi.
Looking forward to Brothers. I'm one who doesn't think the trailers reveal too much, they only lead to more questions for me. Can't wait.
Amanda Peet is in the middle of her first action movie--and it's a show-stopper. 2012 gives director Roland Emmerich (Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow) the chance to recreate every major disaster imaginable as Peet and her ex-husband, played by John Cusack, flee with their kids from the end of the world.
Hedging her bets.
"I e-mailed Jake Gyllenhaal, who was in Day After Tomorrow, before I signed on. I said, 'Is Roland Emmerich great or is he a nightmare? Tell me the truth because life is short and I need to know what's up.' And Jake replied, 'He is the most divine, great person to work for ever and you should run and do it.'"
Why Amanda Peet Refuses to Spend Her Life at the Gym
Tell me the truth because life is short and I need to know what's up.
Smart woman! lol
He is the most divine, great person to work for ever and you should run and do it.
*melting*
what man describes another man as "divine"?
It's beautiful.
So the media has access to celebrities' private e-mails,now?
What a stupid,condescending
PR- promo bullshit.
I expect worse for Brothers publicity...
what man describes another man as "divine"?
You are just jealous of Roland!
The media didn't have access to the email Amanda Peet told a story about the email she received. Duh
