Michelle Williams will probably play Marilyn Monroe

Michelle Williams has won the role of Marilyn Monroe in a movie that looks at what went on behind the scenes during the making of The Prince And The Showgirl with Laurence Olivier.
But first, Michelle wants to ‘live’ with Marilyn for a while before deciding whether or not to take the role in the picture, My Week With Marilyn, which is due to start filming in London in June.

Dear Ted:
Is there really any way for Toothy Tile to come out at this point, after the big show he's put on with his beard for the last few years? What could he even say to the public without making himself look ridiculous and making his "Type A" beard look worse? I'm all for people being true to themselves, but I was wondering your thoughts on the ramifications of such a big reveal.

There's a lot to report on good ol' Toothy. Expect it shortly.

I sent Ted an e-mail regarding this including the link to Mama's FB because obviously he doesn't because Mama and Laura Jeanne are still on each others friends pages:


I don't know what Ted or that reader is talking about. The person people think is Reese on Naomi's facebook is still there, she is still friended to Mama.

It's no secret, she uses her real name and her facebook is protected.

What the hell did Ted check, LOL!

Neither account is fake. I also asked what "Stat" was responding to becaue the letter didn't make any sense. I assume that some intern just posted letters out of order or something. Also "Stat" may be one of those fake letters to push a point.

I came across Naomi's FB a few months back, it looks legit as does the Reese FB. At the time I and other Jake fans figured that the accounts were real. I assume this info was passed on to Ted by some fans.

Naomi's FB account is real. Not just the pics but check out ehr friends list which includes MV residents, Columbia Univ. alumni and a lot of Gyllenhaal's that she obviously stayed friends with after the divorce. She isn't that important anymore that someone would go to the trouble to make a fake FB, there are fan facebooks but this isn't one of them.

Reese's account is real too, I doubt her agent and one of her best freinds, Jenny Belushi would friend a fake Reese account.

Ted obviously thought that no one would check, either that or his intern responded to that odd letter, it made no sense.

You know it's not bullshit because you are very well aware of oth accounts along with several poster.

A poster "Stat" most likely originally alerted Ted about them and then when the break-up story started, they decided to let Ted know that Reese de-friended Mama which was false but you or whoever knew neither he nor his intern would check, they never do.

The letter section was out of order. What the fuck was "stat" agreeing too? It almost sounded like Ted was responding to a letter he wrote or his intern wrote.

The problem, imo, is that while MW is pretty, she isn't sexy rather clumsy even and MM was one sexy gal. MW needs to transform herself completely. We'll see how she'll fare if she decides to take on the part. Scarlett Johansson would have been the better choice I think.

Jake told chat show host Jimmy Kimmel how he became a Steelers fan while filming his latest movie in Pittsburgh and got the tattoo after going to a Steelers game.

“I don’t really remember much that happened after that game but I woke up the next morning and I had this thing,” he said. “So now I’m a Steelers fan through and through.”

Jake teased female fans in the studio audience by jokingly pretending to unbutton his trousers and laughing: “By the way, speaking of what else I got….I’m just kidding. I can’t — it would devastate you.”

Tabloids said...

Jake and Reese spend Thanksgiving apart then Jake moves out
12.04.2009

This weeks tabloids are full of alleged drama between Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal. This all started last weekend, when People Magazine reported that Jake and Reese were totally dunzo, then hours later had to retract the story because Jake and Reeses reps were all no, theyre fine, bitches. People did something strange after that – they kind of double-downed on their initial report, saying that they had a source who claimed that Reese and Jake did break up, but got back together and were trying to work through their issues. They also said Jake wanted to get married to Reese immediately, and Reese was all no, Im fine, thanks.

After all of that drama, Reese headed off to England, solo, to do some work on behalf of Avons ending domestic violence campaign. So yeah. Stories about how shes all alone, and Jake isnt with her, and dont you know that a woman cant go anywhere alone without everyone knowing that she cant keep a man?!? Star Magazine has some drama about how Reese and Jake spent Thanksgiving apart:

"More than 40 guests joined Reese Witherspoon for a Thanksgiving feast at her LA home. But Jake was a no-show, and multiple sources confirm that theyve split.
Everyone was told not to mention his name, a Thanksgiving guest tells Star. Shes not ready to talk about it yet. We were all sad for Reese. Thanksgiving is such a family holiday, and we all known Reese just wants to be part of a close family unit again.
Reese has been complaining that in recent weeks, Jake has seemed distant.
Sources says Jake isnt ready to be tied down. He wants to get married one day, but he feels like Reese was pushing him into it. He got freaked out and said he wasnt ready for such a commitment.
After Thanksgiving, Jake told Reese he needed a break. Says the source, They had a huge fight. Reese was crying and devastated, but Jake was insistent that they take time apart.
On Nov. 29, he sent his assistant to remove two suitcases of belongings from her home."

[From Star Magazine, print edition, December 14, 2009]

Yeah, Im kind of meh on this version. Mostly because I dont see Jake as the commitment-phobic guy, I really dont. I think Jake has some faults, I think hes vanilla and tightly-wound, and probably a little compulsive about getting his way, but I completely buy that he loves Reese and her kids and wants to be settled down. So I guess I believe People Magazines version.

In Touch Weekly agrees with People – theyre claiming that Jake is very serious about marriage and children he wants a family and to make things official, but Reese never gives in. Apparently, Reese is sort of ambivalent about having more kids. Meanwhile, Jakes sister Maggie is getting all up in their business, and shes been acting as the go-between and has been telling Jake that Reese is perfect for him. Damn, hell must be freezing over, because I can see how an In Touch Weekly story could be true. Damn it!

Jake Gyllenhaal Mouths Off About Merkins said...

Jake Gyllenhaal is a handsome, funny, Oscar-nominated actor. He’s also apparently an expert in the sex lives of sixteenth century prostitutes, according to an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night. Hint: It’s not sexy at all. Jake, 28, who’s been making Love and Other Drugs with Anne Hathaway in Pittsburgh for three months revealed they spent much of it filming sex scenes.

“She’s a great actress. We have been having a lot of love scenes in that movie. And we have been bearing almost all of us, so that’s not been that bad either.”

“Are you really naked or just movie naked?” asked Jimmy Kimmel.

“We were pretty much naked except for a merkin,” said Jake who went on to clarify, “A merkin is not to be confused with what prostitutes used to wear when they shaved their pubic hair in the sixteenth century. I learned that from Wikipedia. Do you want to know more about merkins? You’re about to get a history lesson!

“In the sixteenth century prostitutes used to shave off their pubic hair because they thought that they had crabs, so they had fake pubic hair,” says Jake.

“So, when I told people I would wear merkins they would look at me rather oddly because they thought that I had no pubic hair, or maybe I had crabs. I’ll leave that up to you to decide.” Bottom line: when an actor refers to a merkin they’re not talking about anything body-hair related. “It’s a cover for your junk,” he said.

How did Anne protect her modesty? “Out of respect to Anne I’ll have to leave it up to her for when she comes on your show,” Jake joked. “It’s a similar sort of thing but it has other functions.”

Jake: I'm still with Reese

Just 10 minutes after walking into a Beverly Hills hotel suite to talk about his new film, Brothers, Jake Gyllenhaal uses the one word that finally ends rampant speculation about his private life: he refers to Reese Witherspoon as his “girlfriend”.

Dropping the “g” word is confirmation that, contrary to reports the pair had split after two years, they are still very much together, as their publicists have insisted.

Jake, 28, was happy to talk to Grazia about the children in his life; his 3-year-old niece Ramona (daugher of actress Maggie Gyllenhaal) and Reese’s children with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe; Ava, 10, and Deacon, 6.

I’ve learned so much from the kids in my life and somehow they just become the centre of your life and the way you look at things,” he says. “Obviously I exist in my girlfriend’s world and my sister’s world in a different way, but it’s opened my heart and I feel much more grown up and want to be grown up as a result of it.”

Jake co-stars with Natalie Portman and Tobey Maguire in his upcoming film, and he makes it clear he’d rather talk about the movie – about a love triangle – than his love life.

“As I get more famous, there is less that is just mine so I hope you understand I want to protect that as much as I can,” he says. “I understand the news cycle, I really do, but as we all know news cycles come and go and I don’t have to comment on them.”

People magazine said...

Jake Gyllenhaal Drops the G-Word!

Is there hope for Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon's relationship?

Amid reports of "are they or aren't they still a couple," Gyllenhaal, 28, used the buzz word of the week – girlfriend – shortly after arriving at a Beverly Hills Hotel suite Thursday for a press conference for his new film Brothers.

"I've learned so much from the kids in my life, and somehow they just become the center of your life and the way you look at things," he told Grazia Australia, referring to his 3-year-old niece Ramona (daughter of Maggie Gyllenhaal) and possibly Witherspoon's children, Ava, 10, and Deacon, 6. "Obviously I exist in my girlfriend's world and my sister's world in a different way, but it's opened my heart and I feel much more grown up and want to be grown up as a result of it."

Regardless, he'd rather talk about his movie about a love triangle with Natalie Portman and Tobey Maguire than about his actual love life.

"As I get more famous, there is less that is just mine so I hope you understand I want to protect that as much as I can," he says. "I understand the news cycle, I really do, but as we all know news cycles come and go and I don't have to comment on them."

I thought Jake was actually kind of manic on last night's Jimmy Kimmel (I'm sure many of you who think he's perfect will not agree). He seemed TOO excited and not as calm as his previous media tour appearances to promote a show. Not that he hasn't been humorous on previous talk shows but he seemed to be making a MAJOR effort to appear happy--it came off over the top--and yes manic.

I think Reese and Reese's people urged Jake to acknowledge Reeke in public for once. It was starting to look very odd that Reese was the only one gushing about their "relationship".
If Jake wanted to continue with this bearding(right now is when he most needs it) he had to say out loud he & Reese are an official couple. So, MAYBE, Reese PR planted the split story and make sure Jake got the message.
It was an agressive move, but...Reese didn't get to be a HW queen by being passive and smoothy.

Fuck, I really waouldn't like to have Reese as an enemy ;D..or as beard, or as a friend neither.

Ted said...

Dear Ted:
I was reading an article where Rupert Everett basically said that gay actors can either come out of the closet or have a successful career, but not both. Do you agree?
—Amanda F., NYC

Dear Pessimistic Rupert:
Depends how you judge successful career. Neil Patrick Harris is a well-respected actor, but will he ever be up for the blockbuster superhero guy-gets-girl parts? Probably not. If you want to be a heartthrob, you're not gonna come out of the closet. But I think how Ellen DeGeneres is showing how to become a major celebrity powerhouse and still have your lesbian wife, too, is a lesson not to be ignored. Can guys do it, too? Most of 'em don't have the balls to even try, sorry to say.

Dear Ted:
Aloha, I am a longtime fan back from the "Fishstick" days. Just wondering what's your take on Rupert Everett's statement that gay actors should remain in the closet for the sakes of their careers? I'm sure Toothy agrees! Keep up the great work.
—Kaiulani

Dear Bitter Actors:
It's unfortunately their choice when and if they want to come out. Rupert's probably just bitter that his career didn't lead him to an Oscar nom...but unfortunately there's some truth behind it.

Reese & Jake Trying to Make It Work

They say absence makes the heart grow fonder. Not so for Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal, whose romance is hanging by a thread after their heavy work schedules have forced them to spend months apart. The couple — who have dated since 2007 — didn’t even get to talk turkey about their problems this holiday. Reese, 33, held a Thanksgiving dinner for 30 friends and family, and Jake was conspicuously missing, which further fueled rumors of a split.

In the new issue of OK!, friends of the couple say they “have a lot of issues to work out if they are to stand any chance of staying together. They’ve been making excuses about how hard it’s been because of their schedules, but everyone knows that’s no real reason to break up.”

The biggest issue between them seems to be that Jake isn’t ready to play daddy to her kids: Ava, 10, and Deacon, 6. “He’s a young guy, and as much as he loves Reese, it’s not a comfortable situation for him to be living this middle-aged lifestyle,” adds the friend. And Reese expects Jake to settle down and spend more time raising their family, not making movies. “It became a long-distance relationship pretty much starting with Jake making the Prince of Persia in London over a year ago, and time apart was tough on Reese,” adds the source. “It’s very clear she needs someone who can be around more than he could.”

Given the events of the past week, I'm sure that Jim Sheridan is wondering why he brought Jake on board in the first place. You bust your ass pulling together a phenomenal film and then you have to spend all of this time dealing with Jake's personal and professional baggage.

Other top shelf directors - take note. Don't let this happen to you, too.

Anonymous said...

1:22.. just what I was thinking. Didn't this all happen with Rendition as well (of course it did). Jake (and Jake's people) seem incapable of letting his performance do the talking, which is a shame because I'm sure he'll be pretty good in Brothers. Bet Tobey is thrilled to have his film overshadowed by the toxic dwarf and fakey jake.

Brothers is just a copycat from an original film. what is phenomenal or creative about that? The director of the original said she felt as if watching his child being raised by another family.

Considering his low budget, Sheridan shoud be thankful for all the free publicity.
Soe posters here writed a few weeks ago that they didn't want to watch such a depressive movie during christmas season. Perhaps, a little of frivolity may do the movie some good.

Jake G Uses The Girlfriend Word

Have you ever heard Jake Gyllenhaal use the word girlfriend to describe Reese Witherspoon? I never have and I don't think anyone else ever has either. To get him to start using it all you had to do was say he and Reese split and the next thing you know he tosses it out at press conference.

Yesterday Jake was promoting Brothers and said this in response to a question from Grazia Australia. "Obviously I exist in my girlfriend's world and my sister's world in a different way, but it's opened my heart and I feel much more grown up and want to be grown up as a result of it."

Wow. Why have we never heard this before? Reese has never said that either. Not in one interview, press conference by either of them. Never accidentally slipped out. Nothing. Now it does? The week after the breakup stories? Please.

Jake Gyllenhaal almost charms his own pants off

Since Jake Gyllenhaal is more famous as a personality than an actor, it's important he crawl out of his "fame cubby" every now and then to remind us exactly why we love him so much. Thankfully, that's exactly what happened on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" yesterday.

Jakey G was on to promote "Brothers," a movie I wager few of you will pay to see, but ended up doing a heckuva lot more self promotion during his segment. Charming, funny, at ease and hot as hell; Jake gave good talking head last night.

Whether he was explaining what it's like to film a sex scene with Anne Hathaway or recounting the grossest fan gift he's ever received, Jake cemented my belief that when Jimmy, Dave or Conan vacate their host chairs, he'd make an superb replacement!

Did Ryan Phillippe Come Between Reese & Jake?

An insider tells BettyConfidential that Jake Gyllenhaal wasn’t happy about the amount of time Reese Witherspoon spent talking to her ex.
-JoAnna Zulli

Although reps for Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon claim they have not split, friends say, “Yes, they have!” And now Reese has turned to her ex-husband, Ryan Phillippe, for comfort. Reese and Ryan divorced in 2007 after eight years of marriage and have two kids, Ava, 10, and Deacon, 6.

Rumors of Reese and Jake first dating began when the two co-starred in the thriller movie Rendition in 2007, but they never confirmed the gossip — that is until they were spotted vacationing together in France and Morocco in the summer of 2008.

Now, a source tells BettyConfidential that after two years together, Jake, 28, was pressing Reese, 33, to tie the knot and she kept putting it off, saying her kids were not ready.

“Her kids love Jake, so he knew that was not the case,” the insider says. “He finally gave her an ultimatum saying that either they marry by Christmas or they split up.”

Reese had also been talking to her ex, Ryan, more and more, which didn’t sit well with Jake. “He knows Ryan is the father of their children and Reese has always had contact with him, but the talking just became too frequent. He feared she was seeking advice from Ryan.”

A frustrated Jake turned to his sister, Maggie, who is married to actor Peter Sarsgaard — Jake’s co-star in Jarhead and Rendition — for a shoulder to cry on. “He didn’t know what to do. He didn’t want to lose Reese, but he really wanted to get married,” the insider says. “Maggie told him that if Reese wouldn’t set a date then she wasn’t ready to get married. And if that is what he really wanted then perhaps it was time to move on and find someone who wanted what he wanted. He deserves to be with someone who wants the same things that he does.”

Friends say Jake is very upset and Reese is in shock over the whole situation. “It’s possible that they can work it out and get back together, but Jake is adamant about wanting marriage and a family. And Reese doesn't seem to be in that place right now.”

The pal says that even when Jake tried to compromise and ask Reese to think about setting a date in the spring, she refused. It would seem that she’s not quite ready to walk down the aisle again.

“Everybody needs love,” Reese told Parade last year. “Everyone deserves it. Family is all we have in life, but I don't know how I feel about marriage. Obviously, I'm not far enough out of being married to think about doing it again. You sort of reconstitute your family. You find a family with people who come into your life for a reason.”

Will love win out? Stay tuned.

According to a recent article in the LA Times, Adam probably sold around 220,000 copies of his cd last week (the official numbers will be out at the end of this week) and will likely place no. 3 on the chart for the week.

That would normally be enough anymore to get to No. 1, but Susan Boyle's cd is blowing out of the stores. And of course it doesn't count people who bought it from Itunes, etc., which is how a lot of fans, especially the younger ones, buy their music anymore.

Kris Allen sold about 80,000 copies in his first week, and didn't even make the top 10.

Reese Witherspoon steps out solo!!!

Likely to further fuel rumours of a breakup, a solo Reese Witherspoon was seen leaving a friend’s house in Brentwood, CA this morning (December 4).

Casually dressed in a black dress, brown boots and a pink cashmere cardigan, the 33-year-old actress avoided the paparazzi as they quizzed about the status of her relatiionship with beau Jake Gyllenhaal has she made her way back to her car.

As you may recall, it was only last weekend when People mag reported that Reese and Jake had split. Now some random other publication called Betty Confidential cites a “source” who claims Jake is constantly pressuring Reese “to tie the knot.” So much so that it has lead to ultimatum: she either agrees to marry by Christmas or they’re over!

So, what’s the real story? A spokesperson for Jake says that nothing has changed since their statement last week. In other words, don’t believe everything you! (Unless, of course, you read it here.)

Darren and I went to see it last night. We were stuck behind two losers who would not stop kissing. And not even like hot kissing. They would hug with their eyes closed. Sick f-ckers. At one point Darren counted 23 kisses in 45 seconds. When he had to let go of her to find his tickets, she almost fell apart. We amused ourselves by writing their dialogue. This is how we killed time while waiting for Jakey.

So Brothers. Brothers is good. It’s good enough. But I guess going in, being such a big fan of Jim Sheridan, I thought it would be great. And it’s not great. It’s not great like In America. It offers great performances and great chemistry, but these great performances cannot make up for a story that’s not told compellingly. It feels very callous saying this especially since the subject matter is so raw but Brothers is, in a word, trite. Perhaps deservingly so. Brothers is a remake of the 2004 Danish film Brodre. And while it doesn’t completely disrespect the original, there’s not much point to it either, aside from bringing it to an audience that can only respond to melodrama.

Having said that, Tobey Maguire is terrific. Really really great range. Totally believable. It’s time for him to make more movies. The physical and psychological transformation is jarring. You see him in a new light. Yay for Tobey on the comeback.

As for Natalie Portman, even Darren couldn’t ignore that face. She is SO f-cking beautiful it’s … not fair. And it’s not like they’ve adorned her or anything either. She wears the ugliest clothes, her hair is mom highlighted, and in several scenes she’s wearing baggy sweatpants. And still. Breathtaking. Acting? Just OK. Whatever, I’ve seen her in better, do better, and besides, this film was about the boys. The tension between them was, for me anyway, the core.

Oh Jakey.

Jake Gyllenhaal isn’t a movie whore. He doesn’t crank out 2 movies a year. Or even a movie a year. We have to wait for Jake. And usually it’s worth it. I confess I didn’t pay much attention to Jake in Brokeback Mountain because Heath Ledger was such a force. And in the same vein, Tobey’s part will receive the spotlight this time simply because his character is that much more flashy. But Jakey’s charisma is seriously underrated. He is a natural. He is mesmerising when he’s playing intense, he’s sexy as hell when he’s playing loose, and he totally brings the quiver in every shot. So hard. Like to the point where the pants don’t even matter. He is strong in every frame: I buy him as a degenerate, I buy him as a joker hanging out with his buddies with a great sense of humour, I buy it when he’s developing a rapport with Portman, and I definitely buy it when he’s lovingly devoted to the children. Am suddenly a big fan of Jake Gyllenhaal.

See it or not?

See it for the acting. See it to watch Tobey Maguire say “hey what’s up” to his old friend Leonardo DiCaprio matchng him for skill. And definitely see it for Jakey G if only to remember that before Reese and before those incessant gay rumours, there’s a lot of talent underneath those ill fitting trousers.

I don't think they have split (basically because they are not a real couple) but I don't think there is a problem with the contract bearding either.
IMO, all this caca is pure PR, and it's more in the sake of "Brothers" than Reese's shitty Avon shedule.

I've never believed Jake was stranger to publicity stunts and manufactured image, but this level of shit is something new for him and I hope (yes,I really hope) that this won't backfired on him in the near future.

Source - Grazia (Australia):
"Just 10 minutes after walking into a Beverly Hills hotel suite to talk about his new film, Brothers, Jake Gyllenhaal uses the one word that finally ends rampant speculation about his private life: he refers to Reese Witherspoon as his “girlfriend”.

Jake, 28, was happy to talk to Grazia about the children in his life; his 3-year-old niece Ramona (daugher of actress Maggie Gyllenhaal) and Reese’s children with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe; Ava, 10, and Deacon, 6. “I’ve learned so much from the kids in my life and somehow they just become the centre of your life and the way you look at things,” he says. “Obviously I exist in my girlfriend’s world and my sister’s world in a different way, but it’s opened my heart and I feel much more grown up and want to be grown up as a result of it.”

... and now we have:

Us Weekly:
"Merkins aside, Gyllenhaal proved his maturity at a press conference earlier that day when he talked about growing up because of the children in his life.

I'm still waiting to see where everything lands. Right now, seeing all of the ridiculous, contrived fiction on their "break up", I think Reeke's PR Dept interns need to go apply for a position at Harlequin Romance books.

I never thought I would see Jake mixed up in all this kind of tabloid crap.

Anonymous said...

IMO the "breakup" right before Jake's Brothers public promos is no surprise. Not only does it get him out of answering personal questions (because it's a sore subject!), but he gets to avoid any Reese references while talking about a love/family oriented movie. Face it: it would seem awfully strange and suspicious if Jake didn't mention his 2-3 year happy, stable relationship with Reese in any of the interviews - UNLESS there was a breakup or problems. This gives him an excuse not to. The "girlfriend" reference? I'm sure Jake has a lot of girl friends who have kids.

IMO the "breakup" had a dual purpose: to halt any expected questions/mentions of the great wonderful love of his life Reese, and to bring public attention once again to Reeke. The ONLY way Reeke is tabloid-worthy is if they breakup or get engaged/married. And of course by doing the stunt now it will ingrain in the public's mind that Jake is in the middle of a romance with a woman..but he can't talk about it. Dilemma solved!

Also I think the "breakup" was generated by Jake and his PR, and that it was a surprise to Reese and her PR. Do you really think Reese would break up with Jake?!! She has no other man escort to take his place! But sadly, I also think that the "repayment" from Jake for pulling that stunt on Reese will be plenty of Reeke photo ops and very possibly an engagement ring - after the Brothers appearances and promos are all done with and he doesn't have to answer any questions or bring her up in promo conversation. IMO the engagement will be terminated before POP - again, so he won't have to deal with her.

I doubt she's jealous of Portman. If like me, she has had the misfortune of seeing her stink up the stage in The Seagull and Diary of Anne Frank (on Broadway no less) and stink up the screen in countless films, then she probably thinks Portman is one overrated kewpie doll. (Honestly, I think she's almost near talentless--and mind you I've seen her "emote" on stage). This has nothing to do with jealousy on my part as I've really liked Halle Berry (when she's in good movies), Charlize Theron, Penelope Cruz (fantastic in Volver), Nicole Kidman (before she destroyed her face) and Michelle Williams (I know many of you don't consider her beautiful because she does a lot of character roles but she has a gorgeous face). Natalie is not that good just lucky and she was lucky to have a good director with Sheridan. But look at her canon of films--she's far from consistent. At least Tobey and Jake are mostly good even if some of their films have stunk.

Blind Vice: Is America Ready for Butter's Supershocker?

Interesting past couple of weeks: Adam Lambert pushes the sexuality envelope by tonguing a guy on national TV, and the world cries yuck. But chicks such as Britney Spears, Madonna and Tila Tequila do the same and everyone thinks it's just so dangerously sexy. Double standard, anybody? Yeah, what else is new in antigay America?

In this very same sexually and politically charged media firestorm, megaceleb Butter Pussy is charting her next career choice privately.

It's no secret folks have wondered, in varying degrees, whether Butter rides the gay or straight bus (some insist she's a regular passenger on both), and she's certainly had her own battle with goss headlines in the past regarding her sexuality.

But now Butter's decided to...

Go against what all of her friends and professional advisors have been hammering at her for years not to do:

She's decided to come out as a gay woman!

Butter is terribly encouraged by Ellen DeGeneres' success with celebrating her love for Portia de Rossi while still maintaining (hell, even increasing!) her celebrity relevance. And this is very dear to Butter's heart, even though many think the multitalent's really only been in the Biz all these years just for the bucks.

What's far trickier for Ms. P. is just what to do about the man and large extended family in her life. She's far more concerned how this announcement will affect them, not her. After all, money isn't necessarily that big of an issue anymore, but Pussy's exceedingly aware her future financial coffers might be adversely affected by this scandalous planned press conference. And that's giving her tremendous pause at the moment.

Will all the ol' reliably closeted machinery of Hollywood win out in the end—and Butter will continue to maintain her (fairly) discreet preference for the chicks?

It's a fascinating dilemma. Particularly if Butter continues her super-risky habit of feeling up well-heeled babes under the table at all those fancy dinner parties she goes to.

And It Ain't: Hillary Clinton, Fergie, Hilary Swank

Posted on OMG by Aural

I've been following Jake since October Sky. I've seen and heard nearly all his appearances even when he was unknown and the last person on the lineup. I've always been a voice person; I pay a lot of attention to how a person speaks and what they say. IMO I have a pretty good idea on how he handles himself verbally.

The Kimmel show surprised me. Jake's voice was deeper, more clipped and more authoritative. His sense of fun was still there (merkin, towel, Sasquatch) but his voice tempo was different. He's matured.... by that I mean he's gotten more definitive. You may not agree but IMO it's exactly what happens when a person, especially young, becomes a parent - their voice and way of speaking is more a tad quicker, shorter, clearer and more authoritative than they used to be. He's not verbally waffling or flirty, talking softly, like he used to be - compare Kimmel with Conan 2007 and you can hear the contrast.

The difference IMO isn't from Reese's kids either. They're too old and they already have a father. Same with Maggie's child - Jake is only the uncle. IMO the change in Jake's voice, going from being childlike 2 years ago to today's stronger definitive cadence, is from his own growth and confidence as a parent. You might disagree, and that's ok, but for me the difference is one more clue that BT is true.

Anonymous said...

Odd that Jake stayed after his time in the limelight on Kimmel. When was the last time he did that? He always scoots out after his interviews. My guesses are: he was bored, he wanted to seem straight since the next guest was a young beautiful female (Ashley Greene), he's low-man on the talk show totem pole right now so he needs all the PR he can get, it's Kimmel's policy that guests have to stay (I've never seen the show before so I don't know if it's typical behavior). Anyone have any theories why he didn't do his interview and leave like he always does? Odd.
