KNOCK, KNOCK. WHO'S THERE? THE CLOSET. YOU'RE STILL AROUND? YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT!
There's been a great deal of discussion on the site [After Elton] over the past couple of weeks about gay celebrities, the closet and what constitutes being "out." And even though we've discussed the issue numerous times before, it seems like it is once again time to revisit the topic. And it's a subject that is as tricky as ever and that can have real consequences for the celebrities involved.
Perez kicked the latest round of debate off when he posted an item about White Collar's Matthew Bomer. Without citing a source or saying how he knew, Perez simply claimed Matt was an out gay man. If true, we were certainly interested in writing about Matt and his show, but as we aren't a gossip site, I wasn't going to simply repeat Perez's claims — for lots of reasons.
But I did call up Matthew's publicist and request an interview if, in fact, Perez's information was correct. Through his publicist, Matthew passed on doing the interview and the publicist told me they don't comment on their client's personal lives. And that post set off a heated discussion about outing, the closet and all the other related issues.
The issue of the closet is something we deal with at AfterElton.com a lot and we are constantly evaluating how we cover celebrities that may or may not be gay. First and foremost, we do not out people. It's our firm belief that despite the undeniably greater gay acceptance in society today, coming out still has serious ramifications for many people and is a decision to be made only by the individual in question (excluding closeted politician's, but that's another conversation for another site).
That being said, we also don't believe there is anything wrong with treating everyone the same and the questions asked of a straight celebrity are perfectly fine to ask of a gay celebrity when appropriate. Are you married? Single? What was your childhood like? How does being straight influence the way you play a gay character? Does your husband get jealous when you kiss another man? And so forth.
Here are some general observations and thoughts about where we stand today.
1) For our readers: Just because "everyone" in West Hollywood or New York "knows" Celebrity X is gay because you've seen him around town with another guy does not make it true or mean that the person is out publicly. First of all, New York and Los Angeles are not the entire world and secondly, being seen out in public with another man is not being out in any practical way.
2) For gay celebrities: Just because your family and friends know you are gay does not make you publicly out.
3) For representatives of gay celebrities: If your client is gay and your response is "no comment" because "we don't ever comment on our client's personal lives" all I have to say is "Poppycock." I may understand why you are hiding the info, but I'm not an idiot and neither are our readers. If your client discusses raising funds for Alzheimer's because their dad had it or working to fight testicular cancer because they have it or anything else not specifically about a particular role, then they do discuss their private lives.
4) There are legal issues involved. Like it or not, claiming a person is gay still has legal ramifications and you can be sued for defamation in almost half of the states in the U.S. Yes, the celebrity has to prove you are wrong, but the fact of the matter is not every celebrity rumored to be gay is gay, and I'm not about to risk my job on Perez Hilton's say so.
BTW, publicists? Please don't tell me information "off the record" and then hint you don't care what I say as long as it's without any attribution at all. Again, that could end with your client suing me and I don't traffic in gossip. Thanks, but no thanks.
5) Dear fellow journalists, please don't treat gay celebrities differently than straight ones. If you regularly ask straight actors about their spouses, children and how they personally relate to playing an ad executive from the 1950s, a starship captain or a serial killer, but avoid similar questions with those you suspect to be gay, you aren't doing your job. And given how quick you usually are to ask officially out actors about the same things you do straight ones, you know I'm right.
I can honestly say that after the success of Neil Patrick Harris has had after coming out publicly (apparently everyone in New York knew he was gay all along) I really thought things would be different and more actors would follow the Luke Macfarlane model and simply acknowledge the fact of their sexuality and move on. But I can tell you from personal experience that we still aren't there no matter how much I'd like us to be.
Which isn't to say I don't understand and appreciate the issues gay celebrities face. But the only reason things ever get better is because some people have the courage to care enough to make things better for all of us.

«Oldest ‹Older 801 – 1000 of 1504 Newer› Newest»5:15 PM, why did Michelle start dating a cokehead after she split up with Heath if druggies bothered her that much? She already had Matilda when she was with Jonze, he could've become her stepfather for all we know.
Heath and Kirsten were shortly together YEARS BEFORE Heath and Michelle met. Why would Michelle care?!?
IA.
He probably thought she was a good catch.
Evelyn and Jake thought Reese would be a great beard.

Ask this little Miss Perfect (Michelle)!
He probably thought she was a good catch.
Evelyn and Jake thought Reese would be a great beard.
Whatever he thought... good catch, good beard... I hope his career will be fine, so he doesn't need a Reese Witherspoon to keep him up there (or how Ted said it, to keep him relevant) anymore.
For being a "cokehead" Spike is very well known and admired in film industry and he is doing great in his career.
Heath & Kirsten were spotted together during a break of TDK production. There were pics of them in a park and holding hands outside a shopping gallery.(He and MW were still a couple)
Of course,maybe they were just hanging out and nothing more, but considering the history of both Kiki and Ledger...i doubt it.
No wonder Michelle kicked stupid Ledger's ass out :(
There were pics of them in a park and holding hands outside a shopping gallery.(He and MW were still a couple)
They were holding hands back in 2002. In 2007 they were just walking side by side.
You mixed the two occasions up!
Whatever, they may walking side by side in those pics but i doubt they let their relationship in a friendship level.
They were Dunst and Ledger!!! Slut and Sluttier can't have platonic friends!

Well, there's no way to know.

So what? Dating someone with a great career makes drug use ok when you have a young child. You must have some fucked up morals.
For your information Heath was better known than Spike Jonze and well respected in the film indutry, but since you have a prejudice against him that’s not something you could admit.
As for the film itself, well, I wasn’t as impressed as Pete Hammond was, but I do think it fits nicely in what has become a great trio of Middle East war films this year. I was less enthusiastic about Tobey Maguire’s performance than I was by Jake Gyllenhaal’s more natural portrayal. In fact, it seems that every time I see Gyllenhaal in something, I’m reminded of how underrated he is as an actor.
review
That's it?! Well, at least Jake is better than Tobey :)
Some critics either seem to prefer Tobey others Jake. I wonder who'll be nominated for awards, if one of the performances is award worthy that is.
2:1 for Jake. I think Jake will "win", but that won't be enought for major awards nominations.
Awards schmawards, is Jake going to do some real promo work for "Brothers" is what I want to know.
Jake IS a talented actor. I saw that when I saw him in BBM--he really reminded me and quite a few critics as this generation's equivalent to Monty Clift. But unlike Monty, who was concerned with being a great actor as opposed to a star (and later destroyed himself due to an addiction that escalated after his tragic car accident), Jake seems only to care about the superficial trappings of his career--the fame, the wealth, the A-list girlfriends, being seen with the "in" crowd, etc. He doesn't seem to care about being a great actor (although he has the chops) only a star.
FYI, Brothers was the film Jake was making when Heath died.
How could we forget?

Jake is talented and can be really good when the role fits. But some of his recent choices seem (and some were) unfortunate.

Yeah probably. But that's good enough after the disaster that was Rendition.

Chin is such an ass kisser. Pathetic.

Today I was walking down the street with Des and Mona, and we saw Reese Witherspoon.
She smiled at me and said her daughter was a fan of mine. I almost fainted.

Don't worry about Michelle, she supposedly spread her legs for Ewan McGregor on the set of Incendiary while stll dating "stupid Ledger".
You say Heath was a slut, but Michelle strikes me as the kind of woman that's easy to get too.
If Jake were straight, I'd understand Reese probably having problems with him paying visits. But since he's most likely not straight, there should be no worries.
^^^ Fake.
What do you mean? Is the sighting fake or she? Because she is a total fake, no doubt.

Who is this Shane Gray?? He has over 1000 followers so he might be semi-famous for something.
it seems that every time I see Gyllenhaal in something, I’m reminded of how underrated he is as an actor.
IMHO, Jake is not an underrated actor. He is a vastly overrated one.
Shane Gray was a character played by a Jonas Brother in Camp Rock, their band was named Connect Three. There's at least 3 twitterers who say they're Shane Gray and the location they list is Camp Rock, etc. so IMO that "sighting" of the beard might be true but without the embellishment.

7:47 #1, bullshit. Obviously you have no sense of dark humor and can't tell the difference between a snide remark such as the one I made, and a serious death threat.
7:46 It's possible it's legit, he is tweeting from Brooklyn. He IMO embellished the part about her saying her daughter was a fan, seeing he pretends to be Gray on twitter.
We will find out soon enough
"They are both sick. All we nees is someone to cut and paste the comment and send it to the legal dept. at CAA like they did last time."
BULLSHIT. Stop making up crap. Stop saying that any snide hateful remark against your precious Reese is a death threat and must be reported to CAA. What crap. Go to Babble if you want to read only glowing compliments on her and stop trying to tell us what to post.
I would love if Jake left Reese for Anne Hathaway...oh well. I can dream it.
Hathaway would never beard for Jake. She doesn't have to do Avon commercials, remember?
Don't expect Reeke to go anyway for many years to come.
At least Chris Fischer is hanging out with *someone* named Jake.

Anne can get a real boyfriend, why would she want a wimpy ball-less gay one.

"This really good looking A list movie actor has always had some questions raised about his sexuality. It turns out though that his female significant other is the one who, with the full knowledge of our actor has had a very long term affair with another woman who is also her business partner." Some people are guessing Reeke as her production company is shared with a female business partner, long time partner. Also, a prior blind said a major, will blow you way if it came out, a list actress was hiding a secret same sex lover. Many guessed Reese back then.

I admit I was one who was disappointed by Jake's silence re. Heath, but I never wished him bad, even wished him luck with his career (still do). But it was in bad taste to go on shopping trips with your girlfiend and staying silent about a former, deceased co-star. Should I think his silence indicates how close they were? I doubt that very much. They probably were nothing more than acqaintances before Heath passed. His silence is either to get attention for it or to distance himself. I wouldn't put it past him. Some suggest he does't give a fuck about Reese's kids, I doubt it. He doesn't give a fuck about his goddaughter. I would bet my ass that more than b-day cards there is nothing. He's not only not "good friends" with Dunst, he's neither good friends with Williams. I'm usually good with my instincts and I think I'm quite right about it.
My two cents.

Reese Witherspoon displayed a monogrammed tote as she exited the gym in LA yesterday.

That's what I believe.
The beard was with her best gf. And not in Brooklyn.
I thought that it as obvious that Jake doesn't give a shit about Heath or Matilda
IMO, this is the bearding scenario I predict from now to next fall (and beyond lol):
I have a gut feeling that Jake will say something about Reese, like they're engaged. And then she'll start wearing a ring. They might be seen together a few times, but her wearing an engagement ring on her finger can easily exclude him from making any photo op appearances with her. Sort of like boyfriend by proxy. As long as she's wearing that damn ring, they're perceived as being together, in love and Jake is straight and Reese is the most wonderful woman in the world. My guess is the engagement will go on during POP - Jake will be seen as straight, but still available to the fangurls since he's not married yet. And of course Reese will want to associate herself with one of People's Sexiest Men Alive and POP superstar - she's not giving up her position just yet.
And then a few months later after POP dies down, Reese will say in a heartfelt interview that their religions were too conflicting, or he wants more kids and she already has her two, or she never really got a chance to be alone and discover herself, and then the engagement will be called off. Of course they will remain close friends and always be fond of each other. And poor Jake will never find another woman who comes close to wonderful Reese that he'll remain single. In fact he'll be so traumatized that in about 30 years when he writes his book, he will admit that after losing Reese he turned to men. No other woman could match her love.

^^the old Jonathan Jaxson story and link is making the rounds on twitter. I'm guessing we should expect Reeke pics ASAP.
I'm sure that we will be overloaded by the Reekefest coming Thanksgiving weekend. Reeke hasn't been together in LA for several months. Reese must be climaxing over and over just by scheduling out all the photo ops in Brentwood and Ojai. Someone said earlier that Reese has the kids this Thanksgiving, so you know we'll get the big shiny, happy, perfect family photo ops. Gag.
I thought that it as obvious that Jake doesn't give a shit about Heath or Matilda
There is nothing obvious about Heath and Jake's friendship.
7:11AM: The twitter, smilingmonalisa is from Germany, they have been posting this on twitter and linking to obscure blogs that posted this crap over 2 years ago, even on The Insider site which you can do.I even see she posted the not coming out denial from 4/2006 that Towerload posted. I don't know what stirred her bonnet, but but since the dated gossip involves Austin, one can assume she is pissed that Austin is bearding too!She is a TB from Germany, it should be easy to figure out who that is!!!
So lame, at least use a different twitter acoount moron.

You know what is interesting about Natalie's quote, that's it's kind of generic. Like it could have been said several years ago or said recently.
Holy crap, it is an old quote now that you mention it. I remember the "too bad he's ugly" part. IIRC it's very old.
So lame, at least use a different twitter acoount
Why should she?
Why shouldn't she retweet old gossip if she feels like it?
Orlando recently finished work on Sympathy for Delicious, the story of a newly paralyzed DJ. The film, directed by Mark Ruffalo and also starring Laura Linney, should be out next year.

I just saw Penelope Cruz's interview on Letterman. Letterman asked her is she was engaged. She said she doesnt talk about her private life in public but she does not lie about her private life in public. She said that is a sense of pride to her.
9:29: I guess Stubborn liked that particular rumor plus she's pissed at Austin! TWEET, TWEET!!!!

Do you complain about bullshit Reeke gossip tweets?
9:38: Cruz bearded for McBongo, Cruise, and rumored to be doing the same with Javier. She is also rumored to be BI.
Anne in Spidey 4?
What?! Jake will be pissed ;)
Nikki Finke, who has sources over at Marvel Entertainment, reports that producers have approached Anne to star as Black Cat, an ex-girlfriend of Spider-Man (Tobey Maguire).
9:51: Not complaining sparky, just think that it's a hoot that the posters here and on OMG know who is reposting the 2 year old gossip. And of all the gossip to re-tweet, she picks J. Jaxson!! His blog if it still exists has deleted all of his posts so she couldn't link to that but she obviously found some obscure blog that still had it, dated 8/2007!
Of course one of her US TB's told her about the Insider where you can post and link anything you want to make it "legit" Or maybe she knew on her own!
It's good to know that they camre to terms with twitter, it comes in so handy and it's a hoot!!
Now are they pissed that Austin is bearding or that he will be overseas with USO on Turkey day or both!!
I remember how pissed they were when they found out that he was filming a movie in Michigan and not at home watching BT all because there were no pics of him!!
You would think that being "fans" of his they would be happy to hear that he was working.
9:55AM Jake is over the Spiderman crap I would think. I assume Kiki will be in this as well.
I think...
I have a gut feeling that Jake will say something about Reese, like they're engaged.
I bet there will be no Reeke "commitment" of any kind.

Reese needs Reeke photo ops, that's the best publicity she can get.
Reese will say in a heartfelt interview...
No interview, no explanations, just a few lines about break up in People magazine.

You can't compare Jake's "ex-girlfriend" dumped for a boyfriend and Michelle.

IDK if Jake is close with michelle Williams or not, but i don't get why some of you are pissed if he is not.
He has no obligation with MW or baby Matilda, sure he co-starred a movie with Heath, but also Danny Glover worked with Mel Gibson and you don't see him taking care of the bunch of kids Gibson abandoned.
M & M don't need Jake's help anyway.
He has no obligation with MW or baby Matilda
M & M probably don't need Jake's help, but Jake does have a moral obligation.
There is no moral obligation being a Godfather these days, get your head out of the 1950's.
Most Godparents don't see or bother with their godchildren, especially as they get older.
Matilda has her Momand plenty of family, she doesn't need eddie munster/muppet head aka Jake.
What moral obligation?
(and i don't intend to pick a fight over this, i'm just interested on why some posters here think that way)
well, I guess 11:14 AM answered already ;)
There is no moral obligation being a Godfather these days...
Yes, there is, 21st century didn't change that:
Moral obligation is a derivative of moral consciousness, which is a derivative of recognizing our shared ground of being with the rest of humanity and life itself.
The primary direction of human development is from ego-centric to "whole-centric": gradually losing the delusion of separateness which is rooted in ignorance, greed, and fear, and moving toward an all-inclusive embrace for the whole of life.
When someone really "knows who they are", what exactly is it that they know? Discovery of true self is discovery of one's connection with everything and all people, and that discovery very naturally honors the well-being and suffering of others as being intimately connected with our own well-being and suffering.
That recognition of true self expresses itself (in part) as moral consciousness: an understanding that our actions affect each other in ways which can produce ill or good, and that the consequences go "full circle" -- we reap what we sow. This is nothing metaphysical or magical, it's just cause-and-effect operating in subtle and complex ways which are hard to spot with simplistic analysis.
So the moral consciousness comes from the most grounded kind of being there is, and moral obligation is moral consciousness applied to specific circumstances.
http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/328867
What moral obligation?
To be there for Matilda if she ever needs him.
But Matilda doesn't need Jake, she has Michelle and her family and Heath's family and friends, not to mention A LOT of money.
I can't believe you googled "moral".
Jake is no responsible for Matilda, Heath was because of being the daddy, and now Michelle is for getting preggers in order to trap a man.
I guess you believe Ang Lee should visit Matilda too because he cast H & M and made them know each other..
Jake is no responsible for Matilda
Jake as Matilda's godfather has a moral obligation because her father is dead.
But Matilda doesn't need Jake...
She doesn't need him now, maybe she will 10 years from now or never - but Jake should be part of her safety net.
godparenting is a catholic thing ,anyway. Jake is jewish.
If he is not baptized (sp?), how come the church certificated that he is godf. of Heath's daughter?
You don't need to be baptized in order to have godfathers and you don't need to be a Christian in order to be a godfather.
"the posters here and on OMG know who is reposting the 2 year old gossip."
LOL there's only 1 person in all of Germany who knows about the JJ Jaustin/BT story?! All of Germany..??!! Maybe you should look at a globe/map one of these days. Give us a fucking break 9:59. What bullshit.
11:33 AM, Heath and Michelle didn't ask Ang Lee to be godfather. And while it's true that lots of godparents ignore their obligations, that doesn't make it right or honorable to do so.
"Godparenting is a task that should not be entered into lightly. Make sure that you are able to fulfill all the conventional obligations of a godparent before you agree to this rewarding responsibility. Among other things, you should attend the baptism of the godchild, develop and nurture a caring relationship, send birthday cards every year, write letters, and keep in touch via phone, e-mail or face-to-face meetings."
Granted, the rules for celebrity godparenting are different.
"Mention that you are a godparent to the media, thus extracting maximum "aawwww, you must be a wonderful person since they asked you" value. Ignore the fucking rugrat henceforth."
In the US being a godparent is just an honorary, casual title. Its no big deal at all. Stop trying to make Jake into some bad guy because of it.
Isn't bautism a sacrament? I would have thought that you have to belong to a religion to do those things. Like being married by the church, you HAVE to be catholic, if not,they wonn't marry you.
I would have thought that you have to belong to a religion to do those things.
Depends on the Church and the priests, there are no written rules.
In the US being a godparent is just an honorary, casual title. Its no big deal at all.
Please define "big deal".
I remember when Jake said it was an "incredible honor" that Heath chose him as godfather. Jake probably sends her birthday cards or e-mails. But he seems quite occupied with his private life and work. He definitely has other priorities than Matilda.
Heath's family and friends live in Australia, I don't think they visit that much. Heath used to pay plane tickets for his Aussie pals when they visited him in the US. You think Michelle will do that? Doubt it. Michelle seems to be spending much time with her sister Paige (the young brunette lady). She seems a big support.
But he seems quite occupied with his private life and work.
Jake has tons of free time, months of free time.

Natalie isn't much prettier than Carry. Is it just me or is Carrey's American-English accent not that good?

I'm sure Heath's family and frinds are there for Matilda and visit her whenever they can.

Thanks 12:47 PM, we know that tweet from yesterday was fake.
Yeah, it was fake.
It's hard to stay friends with an ex!
Especially when they're as hot as Jake Gyllenhaal!
Actress Kirsten Dunst recently revealed that she and her ex-boyfriend, Jake, are not in touch. "It would be nice to see him, but we're not good friends," she tells Allure.
If you remember, KiKi and Jake dated for about 2 years and even lived together after breaking up in 2004. Jake is now super serious with actress Reese Witherspoon while Drunkst is living single in New York.
She's also been doing a bit of traveling having just embarked on a cross-country road-trip with a pal hitting up spots like Graceland, New Orleans and the Grand Canyon.
She says of her trip:
"After we were done, I was like, 'Wow, America is so poor. Just the towns you come across — all that's there are restaurants and gas stations. There are beautiful stretches of pasture, but for the most part, people live simply. The East and West Coast are so different from the rest of America."
Duh!
Was she hitting the bottle during this interview?
Perez is nasty bitch.

Perez hates Drunkst always has as do most of the other bloggers. Does she actually have any fans except for the Spiderman fanboys, or whats left of them.
And he used one of the worst pics of snaggle-tooth, saggy tits and all!

Trolly, go back to UV.
Jake didn't bother with Matilda before Reese so why should he now?
He seemed to visit her in 2006. There was an event where he got an award (best break through or newcomer?) (Peter was with him) and when the interviewer asked him where he is heading after the event, he said he'll go play with Matilda.
But I agree, I doubt he bothers anymore, paying visits I mean.

I don't have a link. But I'm telling the truth (I can't prove it, you can either believe me or not). This was during BBM award season though. If Jake never had private contact with Heath, I don't think he would have even considered Jake as an option. I do think they were friends at the time. I also read that Jake bought Mataild a shirt that said " I wish I knew how to quit spitting up on you". I remember thinking it was cute. I think Jake was a lot in their lives up until he had his own, more important (of course) private obligations.
What private obligations?
Where have you been for the last 3 years?

What private obligations?
Reese?
Bearding didn't stop Jake from seeing friends and family. What private obligations?
Ever since he's with Reese (in whatever form) there were significantly less pics with friends and family. Just check the gallery and compare the amount pre and after Reese.

We used to get plenty pics of Jake out and about with family and friends before Reeke started, that's for sure.

Holy crap.. I looked up Fa-Fu and guess what it is: LOL Fafu the Ostrich
LOL!
I was less enthusiastic about Tobey Maguire’s performance than I was by Jake Gyllenhaal’s more natural portrayal. In fact, it seems that every time I see Gyllenhaal in something, I’m reminded of how underrated he is as an actor.
I would really want to know why he thinks that Jake is underrated, I have no idea why would anyone think so. The only thing Jake could complain about is box office.
^^I agree he's not underrated.
As for B.O., his bad luck could change with POP...
Not really because people won't see PoP because of Jake, just like they don't pay to see Mummy or Spider-man because they want to see Brandon or Tobey.
Dear Ted:
Does Toothy Tile's sister know that he is Toothy?
—Shellee
Dear Sly One:
It's been so long I can't remember—did I say Toothy had a sister?
Dear Ted:
Is Toothy Tile in the same league as People's top 15 sexiest men alive?
—Nicky
Dear Depends:
I say no, but others would disagree
Dear Ted:
Why on Earth did Hugh Dancy marry Claire Danes? What's up with them? Is it a Toothy Tile situation?
—Jill
Dear Very Blunt:
Well you're just throwing it all out there, aren't ya? How do you expect me to answer that?
Dear Ted:
I was just looking through People's Sexiest Man issue. How many of the drool worthy guys pictured in that issue are something other than hetero? Adam Lambert is one, so 2-3? 4? More than 5? Or would it be easier and less litigious for me to ask you which ones are straight as an arrow?

Dear Yummy Edition:
People's (Out) Gayest Men Alive just wouldn't really sell, now would it?

Re. Kiki Dunst - She is very rude when she's drunk or on drugs, like at the MTV movie awards when she won best kiss and was mean to Adrien Brody. But I think when she's sober she's a nice gal. Hey, she even tried to get her boyfriend the part as Spidey. Now, that's a nice act.
Not really because people won't see PoP because of Jake, just like they don't pay to see Mummy or Spider-man because they want to see Brandon or Tobey.
Sorry Brendan!
Sorry Brendan!
Doesn't matter if it's Brandon or Brendan. His career is over.
Chut up!
^^I know, I know, truth hurts.
PoP is the first Jake's movie I'm going to complain about his acting (I didn't see Rendition).
That scene where Prince climbs the wall with arrows flying through the air - my first reaction was that Jake's face expression is wrong for the situation and after watching it more than once I didn't change my mind.
Hey, she even tried to get her boyfriend the part as Spidey. Now, that's a nice act.
Bitch!
You may not know the name Matt Bomer now, but you'll be hearing it much more often in the next year. At least that's what People magazine thinks, because they named the actor their "Sexiest Rising Star of 2009" in the latest issue. The actor stars on the TV show White Collar,
where he plays a con artist working for the FBI.
Bomer recently spoke to Fox411 about his role on the series, saying, "There is a strong correlation between con artistry and good acting. It's about who you're playing, who you're impersonating, what you want to get, where you are going, why and how we're going to get there and who who is standing in the way."
He quipped, "If this show helps me with speeding tickets, I promise I'll personally call you and let you know."
Before he scored the lead role in White Collar, Bomer appeared on the series Chuck and in the soap opera North Shore. He graduated from Carnegie Mellon University.

Jake's face expression is wrong for the situation
I had the same thought with Jake in BBM, but after a couple of viewing his interpretation grew on me, after I discovered that he (Jake) isn't ashamed of who Jack was.

Sometimes, I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion!
I had the same thought with Jake in BBM
As far as I'm concerned Jake is perfect in BBMt :)
PoP - there in no chemistry with Gemma, but for now I'll blame it to the bad script.
^^The problem is, I think, Jake doesn't like Gemma in RL. He had chemistry with Jen Aniston for instance and we all know he was fond of her.
Gemma does seem likeable...
Gemma and Jake look good together though. She's is truly beautiful.
Responding to a Deadline Hollywood report that Anne Hathaway is in talks for the role of the superheroine Black Cat in Spider-Man 4, the star’s publicist tells EW that “there are no negotiations underway.” However, he declined to comment on whether or not the actress had met with the film’s producers.

Did anyone read People magazine?
Penelope Cruz was on David Letterman's show last night, and refused to admit if she was engaged: "I've been here a few times with you, you know I'm tough. One thing I don't do, I don't lie about my personal life," she said. "It's sacred to me. It's my life. But I don't give details about it because I am allergic to that." [People]
Gerard Butler doesn't read gossip. He says: "I try and stay away from anything anybody sends me, some clips or articles that tell me what's going on… I normally tell them to leave me alone and to not remind me. But it's normally when I'm doing press someone will say 'oh so, is it true about...' - and that's when I catch up on all my rumors, when I'm doing press junkets." [Mirror]
Posted on OMG:
Penelope was Matt's beard for years and a trial date for Jake.

I have seen Jake and Penelope pictured together but never have seen them on a date. There were rumors of a date but unless I see proof of that or a statement I dont think they were on a date.

Penny "dated" Matt when they made some shitty movie together I believe. Penny never went out with Jake but did with a friend of hers once, Mia Maestro.

Take Jim Sheridan, for example.
The director of the Oscar-nominated pic "My Left Foot" was tapped by Relativity Media and Lionsgate to helm December's "Brothers," about a missing Marine (Tobey Maguire) and his younger brother (Jake Gyllenhaal), both in love with the same woman (Natalie Portman).
Despite his pedigree, Sheridan was asked to make sacrifices. That meant shooting Afghanistan-set scenes in New Mexico, which offers tax incentives, and forgoing shots aboard a helicopter because the cost of insuring actors would have been too onerous. Instead, Sheridan used a green screen.
It also meant Sheridan had to convince Maguire to skip holiday meals over Christmas because he needed his star to drop 20 pounds and the director didn't have the money to extend production.
"In the old days, studios were cash-rich," Sheridan says. "If you had a problem, you could go talk to executives. Nowadays, if you go over your budget, you better find the money yourself."
Getting Maguire to forgo mashed potatoes was nothing, however, compared to the emergency that erupted one week into the "Brothers" shoot. Axium International, a payroll agency that serviced many productions including "Brothers," shut its doors and declared bankruptcy. In the midst of shooting, the film was out more than $1 million, and the only way to keep things moving was for producers to sacrifice their contingency fees. They did.

Crotch Returns in Slinky, Undercover Blind Vice!
Darlings, we were going to give you a New Moon Vice update, but for all of you who are so sick of vampires you could cry blood, we'll reward you by bringing back an oldie but yummy goodie.
Remember Crotch Uh-Lastic, the hunky, rising male star who would hire men to come back to his Hills pad, dress up in some swim trunks and get the naughty party started?
We can't believe it's almost been two years, but Crotch has officially risen, like a hunky hero out of burning celeb-saturated waters! Mr. Uh-Lastic has solidified himself as a respected Hollywood actor, which means it's time to be even more discreet 'bout his homolicious ways...
See, Crotch would love to go out, hit up the gay scene and bring himself back a cutie. But as the fagola Hollywood story goes, he so cannot out himself.
Not because he cares about being famous. No, Toothy Tile Crotch is not. Instead, CUL is more concerned how his sexuality would hinder the roles he gets, 'cause he's now being taken oh so seriously. He loves acting—not the ritzy lifestyle that comes with it. He doesn't even care that much about hurting his beard (if Toothy outted himself, it would be very damning to the both of them, in many, many ways).
So what's a horny, dude-loving guy to do?
Sic his assistant on the unknowing gay population of Los Angles, natch. Only problem is the de-lish men in West Hollywood are totally starting to catch on—and they're blabbin' about it, too! Halle-homo-lujah!
Mr. Lastic's assistant frequents the standard WeHo gay bars, successfully luring back men for his famous master. Too funny: It's also the exact same dude-fishing MO Furrowed Frank uses when he has his trainer lure future conquests for him at the gym!
Only problem is, if said man isn't interested in hooking up with Crotch on the down-low, the guy has no reason not to spread it around to his gossip-lovin' friends. Seems pretty strange to us, as Mr. U.-L. is as hunky doable as they come.
And as sneaky as Crotch would like to be, more and more people 'round town are starting to hear about what goes down, literally, up in his Hollywood home. And it's not just poolside, folks.
Think any of these guys will out dear old Crotchy soon? Doubtful. With his adorable dimples, more men will jump at the chance to jump CUH and then shut up about it after than won't. But remember, it only takes one.
And It Ain't: Alexander Skarsgård, Matthew Fox, Ryan Phillippe

As for his secret talent, Matt shared, “I like to sing and leave songs on voicemail. IT comes from the heart.” Matt, please sing a voicemail for meeeeeee!!!
A new episode of the popular new series White Collar airs TONIGHT @ 10PM ET/PT on USA Network.

Hey in those pics Jake had the same haircut Reese did last year around this time before she got her extensions. Remember she had a bad "bob" too. Must be trading hair tips.
Oh just to comment on those folks commenting on Michelle and how she supposedly treated Heath before he died. Stop trying to make her into the devil, that's Reese's title. No offense Reese, I admire you. Really I do.
