«Oldest ‹Older 1001 – 1200 of 1925 Newer› Newest»I know for a fact that an OMG poster sent it to him.
Trolly, so you are God now?
"I think when a person uses phrases like "reeks of gheyness" or describes someone as a "pillow-biter" they're telling on themselves. The people promoting these delusions aren't gay friendly,or supportive of gay rights. They like to give offense.
Whether straight or gay, they're definitely homophobes. If they're gay, they've just internalized their homophobia. The end result's the same.
They're leveling ACCUSATIONS with the intent to do harm. That's key to understanding them. They believe there's something wrong with being gay.
"Reek" is a negative term, and "pillowbiter"'s a term of ridicule,derogatory and demeaning when used to describe gay sex.
Certain people have made it their crusade to "get" Jake. They're misguided enough to think they're smearing him. Whatever their twisted reasons,they've made Jake a focus of their anger. If he were actually gay, they'd still say the same things.
No one's going to guilt Jake or his fans into cowering, when this ugly behavior oozes from their sick, twisted minds. I see it for what it is, which is the hateful act of a coward. How pathetic.
I love Jake because I admire the kind of person he's shown himself to be. I'd feel the same no matter what his sexual orientation were. It's his humanity I find attractive.
(OK to delete this. I just needed to vent.)"
-posted by a babbler with panties firmly twisted
You admire the reeking????? You are one sick puppy.
So you admire Jake's homophobic bearding? Even if he were straight he's still shown himself to be a famewhore. What's to admire?
Go ahead and send Ted a letter, especially leading letters to confirm what some want to hear: they are meeting all the time, blah, blah. I thing somr TB's think Jake moved back East so they are fantasising again, LOL!
Even if he were straight he's still shown himself to be a famewhore.
I think he regretted the overexposure and photo ops with Reese. At first they wanted to show off...he, that he landed a fresh Oscar winner and famous actress and she that she landed a young, cute up and coming actor after being dumped. I think he slowly saw her true colors and regretted some of the famewhoring they did. Hence... break up.
I'm sure he learned from his mistake.
2:45 it's easy to pigeonhole every single person that questions Jake as being 'sick', 'misguided' and invertedly homophobic but it's not true in the same way fangirl fans aren't all raving idiots.
It's easy trying to pigeonhole the mass of different layered opinions into one convinient nasty twisted bundle because it's easier for people like you to understand but it's so much more than that.
For example I firmly believe Jake is gay, not based on Ted's stories and I think he's bearding but it's based on several things, none of which have to do with this one place or fandom. On the other hand I don't dislike Reese and have never gone about running Jake down. Sure, he ain't the greatest actor in the world and I'm glad he's talking about going back to college/uni to study but I'm not out to 'get' him.
Some of you fangirls are so silly. But then there is often some way OTT talk on the other side of the fandom I don't get involved in either.
But you know, whatever fits for you, right?
I love Jake because I admire the kind of person he's shown himself to be.
What kind of person is that?
I think he regretted the overexposure and photo ops with Reese. At first they wanted to show off...
LOL, their attempt to look like a real couple was pathetic.
"toothpick said..."
LOL that was the first thing I noticed too!
I think he slowly saw her true colors and regretted some of the famewhoring they did.
Too bad Jake didn't see Reese's true colors before he signed the showmance contract.
Trolly, what does it matter who writes letters to Ted. Ted is going to answer them based on his sources and the gossip he hears, not on what the letter writer wants. Again, it is gossip, not a court, as someone else said.
Although I have to say I love seeing your knickers all in twist over Ted's letter. It clearly drives you crazy. :-D :-D :-D
I love Jake because I admire the kind of person he's shown himself to be. I'd feel the same no matter what his sexual orientation were. It's his humanity I find attractive.
How do you know that image is what he really is 24/7? Would you care if you had to live with his divaishness and mindganes? Not saying he does (though there are reports) but how do you even know then man is this sugar coated wad of full-on humanity you think?
I just keep an open mind on these people. We don't know them truly, and they could be a pain in the neck in reality. I am sure Jake has a lovely side and a genuine side. But I think what people fall in love with is a very well manicured image of the man they themselves would like to marry. I'm very skeptical of that because humans aren't machines and they aren't heroes or gods.
They're people with flaws, secrets and you have to see the good and bad to be able to get a better idea.
Btw, I'm not knocking your sentiment, just stating mine.
Reese true colors are well know in the HW industry, I'm sure Jake is not THAT naive.
Besides, he and Chin have known each other for years, before their stupid movie togheter and WAY before the begining of the "romance"
I see it for what it is, which is the hateful act of a coward.
Your stupidity and ignorance is pathetic.
Reese true colors are well know in the HW industry
It's one thing to hear stories, and something else to work and to actually waste time with the bitch.
Although I have to say I love seeing your knickers all in twist over Ted's letter.
Me too. You can always spot the WFT troll, it's been here years, even back to the Dani days on the other bog, going off at a tangent about Ted's writing style or how many interns he uses or do they have central heating at the E! offices and if the central heating were on that day how could they POSSIBLY have been outside standing at the corner of Joans on 3rd (or whatever it's called) watching TT and the bf.
I mean, Mary!
It always talks about such leftfield wank.
Looks like 2:45 PM was originally posted here
If he were actually gay, they'd still say the same things.
I would bet 1.000$ that you believe Jake is gay as a goose.
"They're people with flaws, secrets and you have to see the good and bad to be able to get a better idea."
I totally agree but how to see the good and the bad of someone who live so far away from you and with only image what media/gossip send us.
Hum I can't understand why people questioning Ted piss you off so much. It's perfectly normal, there are a lot to say about him,independently of what you believe.
Trolly is questioning Ted since 2005.
Ted just bends which ever the way the wind is blowing
Looks like 2:45 PM was originally posted here
Poor babblers, still hoping that Jake might be straight, lol!
or do they have central heating at the E! offices and if the central heating were on that day how could they POSSIBLY have been outside standing at the corner of Joans on 3rd (or whatever it's called) watching TT and the bf.
LMAO! So true too!
I wonder how long that will remain up at GB. Usually anything with the faintest whiff of gay is immediately deleted. I know because the last time we got pictures of Jake and Austin I posted, and all I said was how nice to see them together, nothing more, and it stayed up for all of five minutes.
Ted's bitch-back about Jake has beeb posted on GB six times, and it has been deleted every time, but that post has stayed up
You know some have questioned Ted since the start of his career.
"Ted's bitch-back about Jake has beeb posted on GB six times, and it has been deleted every time, but that post has stayed up"
Why do you post on GB ?
Ted's bitch-back about Jake has beeb posted on GB six times, and it has been deleted every time, but that post has stayed up
That post (2:45 PM) trashes fans who believe or dare to suggest that Jake is gay and it supports babbler agenda - why would UV delete it?
@iamclintmansell wish I were there! In Toronto airport right now, heading up to Montreal. Will be coming to LA soon though.

You have NO EVIDENCE at all that Jake is gay and I defy you to produce it. Since you don’t have anything more than tittle tattle shut your silly mouth up. God you are dumb and you are dumb enough to want to show the world how dumb you are.
Of course I know that Jake is gay. Sorry it upsets you so much but we can't change the facts just because it upsets you so much.
4:21 PM
YOU have NO EVIDENCE at all that Jake is STRAIGHT.
1.000+ staged reeking photos and 100+ unconvincing photo ops are proof that Jake was faking a relationship with a woman - gay actors do things like that in Hollywood.
I defy you to produce it.
Produce what, 4:28 PM?
"1.000+ staged reeking photos and 100+ unconvincing photo ops are proof that Jake was faking a relationship with a woman - "
only your interpretation.
Waiting for the evidence...Any criticism of me from you will only elevate me a good deal, considering the moron who is criticizing me.
only your interpretation
'Jake is straight' is only your imagination, result of your refusal to use the brain.
Waiting for the evidence...
Evidence of what, 4:33 PM? We can't read your mind.
That jake is gay
Evidence that jake is gay
OK, first read ALL OMG and WFT2 posts and comments.
After that come back and tell us what you think. Then we can talk.
Jake and Reese were using "Reeke" for self- and movie promotion. But I think they dated for real. Jake probably started to dislike her personalitly more and more and called it a day. He made a fool of himself with her. I hope he won't repeat Reeke with any other famewhore. He's better than that, I strongly believe.
What is your proof that “Jake has sex with men?” other than just repeated tittle tattle from nowhere. Have you any hard evidence? No you don’t. You just repeat nonsense because it makes you feel that you are “in the know.”
But I think they dated for real.
You are wrong.
Have you any hard evidence?
Have you any hard evidence that Jake isn't gay? Well?
Have you any hard evidence that Jake isn't gay? Well?
Maybe this is not really a proof since gay men sleep with women too and many don't notice that he's gay. BUT Kiki Dunst bragged about having sex with him in public places and him being a good lover.
Jake and Reese were using "Reeke" for self- and movie promotion. But I think they dated for real.
Millions of women thought that Rock Hudson is a beautiful, sexy and married heterosexual.
Rock Hudson's wedding album from 1955
Dating a gay guy is NOT a good image for a woman so Reese would NOT have been with him if he were gay.
Reese Witherspoon was using Jake for publicity and fake public image, celebrity who sells cheap cosmetics needs tabloid attention!
Regarding Ryan and Abbie, she was on Jimmy Kimmel last night and she seemed really happy. She say "we had a quiet New Years Eve, we had a small house party".
I think she has been told not to appear in public with him until 1/23. She probably made some agreement with her Bright Star distributors that she would keep the focus off her personal life and on the movie.
Rock Hudson's wedding album from 1955
Rock looked like he genuinely liked her.
There's really no way to know about Jake unless he tells the truth, but he won't anytime soon. I think he's bisexual. I have no proof for it, but it's my opinion based on what I've seen, read etc. Oh well.
BUT Kiki Dunst bragged about having sex with him in public places and him being a good lover.
And you believe Kiki Dunst because she was off drugs that week? lol
I believe that Jake had sex with Dunst, but Jake also had sex with men during their "dating". Nothing unusual for young CLOSETED gay men.
4:57 PM
Jake is gay as a goose. He was bearding with Reese because he is gay. Jake didn't really like Reese as a friend or business partner, that is easy to see if you compare reeking and Jake's behaviour around other people.
Jake is gay as a goose.
It's amazing how someone can say that with such certainty w/o knowing any facts or him personally.
Rock looked like he genuinely liked her.
Yes, Rock probably did like her, but would never fake a marriage if he wasn't gay Hollywood star.
It's amazing how someone can say that with such certainty w/o knowing any facts or him personally.
Keep ignoring the facts and keep saying "no one knows anything" - you are "amazed" ONLY BECAUSE we are talking about gay Jake, you would never request hard facts and personal knowledge from someone who thinks Jake is straight.
Jake has said that he is not gay, so the burden is on you to provide evidence that he is lying
LOL!
Jake was lying for almost 3 years. The only good thing he did during those almost 3 years was his silence, his not talking about the beard Reese Witherspoon.
I think many will be majorly disappointed when Jake starts dating another woman. Probably another tiny blonde (looking at his dating record). Some people will be waiting for Toothy for a long, long time and then maybe just to find out that Toothy Tile was a big exaggeration or mostly made up for entertainment purposes.
In this case someone needs to bitchslap Ted C. like crazy for leading on and on for nothing. And I think that's exactly what'll happen.
Jake has said that he is not gay, so the burden is on you to provide evidence that he is lying
We don't need to prove anything, we don't need to povide evidence to anyone. Everyone is free to do his own research and decides what he believes.
Probably another tiny blonde
Jake was bearding with Reese Witherspoon because she was looking for a "boyfriend" and because Evelyn works for both of them, not because Reese is a tiny bottle blonde.
^^Most, if not all, of the women in Hollywood are bottle blondes. ;)

Jake is gay. Jake was gay before Toothy Tile BIs and will be gay after the last Toothy Tile BI.
Everyone is free to do his own research and decides what he believes.
That's right.
I think many will be majorly disappointed when Jake starts dating another woman.
Bearding with another woman.

Jake never said the words "I AM NOT GAY"
The words he used were more like I could not be persuaded to sleep with a man. Hell I dont need to be persuaded either. I dont have top be.

Ted might be a crazy old goon but he knows who's playing the game in Hollyweird. Ted was never the only one posting what he claimed to know.
There have been many people over the years that have been very rational about all this and because a.) you've missed it orr not been around b.)it's not signed and stamped by People, folks like you write it off as internet gossip.
But then what is glossy magazine gossip vs Ted? How is it more credible or less full of 'anon' sources quoting a friend? Only difference is: you PAY for that shop shelf tattle, we at least express our opinions in freedom for free in an open forum. You buy the glossy you have to tow their line.
At the BBM press conference in Toronto Jake said that he and Heath are straight. I watched the whole press conference a few years ago. Unfortunately on youtube we only can see 7 minutes.
It's definitely what he said...unless he lied.

Arrest me officer!
Btw, Jake's PR has said a lot of things over these years and if it's the same bunch that've come up with some of these Reeking stories then I'd say they're at best highly questionable!
But actors go along with it. It is a LOT easier to be outwardly straight than admit to being outwardly not.
21 Oct 2007
He [Jake Gyllenhaal] adds that he knows how annoying it can be when actors start lecturing people about politics. 'I don't think audiences need to know my political beliefs to appreciate this film. Nor do they need to know who I am dating. It's not important.'
I haven't asked who he is dating, but since he raised the subject, he did make some intriguingly ambiguous comments about his sexual orientation at the time Brokeback Mountain came out. A broad grin spreads across his face and he covers his head with his hands. 'I know, I know.' He is single at the moment. For several years he had an on-off affair with Kirsten Dunst. And yet?…
I quote something he said about homosexuality: 'I don't think I'd be afraid of it if it happened.' What on earth did he mean by that? 'Nothing like that has ever happened to me. I live in a different world. What I was trying to say was why leave out possibilities in my life? It wasn't meant to be provocative.'
So let's get it on the record: is he saying he is open to persuasion? 'No, I am not open to persuasion myself, but the idea of homosexuality is acceptable to me. I grew up in a city where half the people I know are gay. Both of my godfathers are gay.'
Paul Newman is gay! He laughs again. 'No, he's my celebrity godfather.' What's a celebrity godfather? 'That's the godfather that the media give you. He's a close friend of my family. He taught me to drive. I have literal godfathers and celebrity godfathers.'
I see. And Jamie Lee Curtis, is she a celebrity godmother or a literal godmother? 'Both. That's why it is confusing growing up in Hollywood.'
OK, having established that he is not bisexual, was he being quite calculating when he allowed people to think he was? 'It was meant as a way of saying it was important for Heath [Ledger, his co-star in Brokeback Mountain] and I to have the movie exist as the movie, but also to have people know it was two straight actors playing those parts.'
I think I follow. The chemistry and tension wouldn't have worked as well if two gay actors had been playing those roles, and because they were both straight it made their sexual awkwardness more convincing, more like it might be for two cowboys. 'Exactly. Here are these two lonely people who find themselves through love. Love has no bounds and these two people found a connection in this massive, lonely landscape of Wyoming.'
Presumably he got nasty letters from homophobes.
'Determining what was nasty and what was nice was always going to be hard for me with that movie. But yes, I got an insight into homophobia that I wouldn't normally have encountered.'
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/3668690/Jake-Gyllenhaal-Aggression-is-a-part-of-me.html
It's definitely what he said...unless he lied.
Hon, I hate to tell you, but they DO ie. They are selling product.
Jake's PR has said a lot of things over these years
Once or twice they denied that Jake was engaged to the beard. What else did they say in the last 3 years?
You do know the term 'straight acting' is ambiguous in acting, as in 'method acting', 'straight acting'/'actor', 'comic actor', etc.
Mr ambiguous is Jake.
For god's sake 6:04, DYOR! I've had to. I'm not rehashing all his PR because you can't be bothered or weren't around to care then.
All the BBM promo and interviews where your agents SIT IN WITH YOU at every planned meeting with a magazine and vet everything that gets said, that was all over the place to the point of embarrassing. That was really odd personal PR. Any old timer on here can vouch for that. One week Jake was hinting the next he was revolted.
For god's sake 6:04, DYOR!
I did. Last 3 years = once or twice they denied that Jake was engaged to the beard and denied that Jake was in NYC on Dec 19. That's it.
Oops! I didn't mean "what Jake's PR has said since forever" :)
how to see the good and the bad of someone who live so far away from you and with only image what media/gossip send us
How to see the real person? Mistakes, tapes and the law. Also someone close who's pissed at you really helps too.
That interview is the biggest bunch of BS I have ever heard come out of Jakes mouth and there sure has been a lot. Why not make it simple and say no sir i am not gay and no sir I have never had sex with another man. He was all over the place in that interview. He was in one way saying he was str8 but in another way saying that he wouldnt rule it out. A str8 guy would never answer that question that way. The interviewer knew exactly what Jake wanted to portray in that interview and he helped him get through it.
Can someone post the interview where Jake said reese has the amazing ability to grow a beard.
Can someone post the TV interview where he said he has to pick the ladies at this time in his career.
So much ambiquity. So much BS.
So let me say it Jake G. has never said the words I AM NOT GAY. He may tomorrow but up until today he has not.
NPH denied he was gay and then later he came out.
11/16/2007
Q: What qualities do you admire in Reese, as a person and an actress?
A: She can grow a mean beard, that’s for sure (laughter)! I don’t know if you’ve seen her beard—it’s amazing! She’s one of the best actresses of her generation—that’s the truth. She’s an incredible mother—she’s devoted to her life and her work. But, every actor I look up to values his life over his work.
Q: Will you comment on rumors that you are dating Reese?
A: No. Apparently, I am dating a lot of people, not only of the opposite sex (laughter) — it’s very interesting and amusing.
Q: The first time we interviewed you, you talked about not having enough sex...
A: Are you offering or what? (Laughter) [interviewer is a man]
Q: You talked freely during that interview. You have become a star since. So, has your sex life changed?
A: I’ve become an ascetic—I live in a cave now. That’s why I am growing a beard. I have no sex, so I’m much more interesting!

LOL!
Thank you Anon. Why in the world would he say that just a short time before the big reeke coming out.
It would also be awesome to read the interview from that english talk show he was on. It was a hoot.
Tom you're welcome to do your own research. Google something if you want to read it, okay? This blog isn't a request line.

YouTube - couldn't find Jonathan Ross interview from 2007.
Remix artist Diran Lyons, who’s work we have featured on this site before, has just completed an ambitious remix project critical of President Obama’s foreign policy entitled “Jake Gyllenhaal Challenges the Winner of the Nobel Peace Prize”.
The piece is a remixed narrative that combines two Jake Gyllenhall films (Donnie Darko & Jarhead) with news footage of President Barack Obama. As the President wins the Nobel Peace Prize, Gyllenhaal’s character becomes disillusioned with Obama’s increasingly pro-war rhetoric, escalation of the war in Afghanistan and the failure to withdraw troops from Iraq.

I was standing line at the grocery store flipping thru Women's Daily for the horoscope to read about the wonderful romance coming my way for the last three years.
I saw pics of Reese and Kate Hudson and the magazine's astrologer says that both Reese and Kate are very fertile this time of the year and to look for a surprise marriage or baby announcement or both from one of the two actresses or from both of them.
It made me sick (not about Kate), I know these magazine are published way ahead but sometimes if you put in out there in the universe it happens.
"She’s one of the best actresses of her generation—that’s the truth. "
Boy can Jake lie...I mean act or what?
Magazine's astrologer forgot that both women were recently dumped. lol

Yes Mam. I was hoping someone would know exactly where to look for the interview. I couldnt even remember the guys name.
On the show that night they had a band that was gay and these guys where not the most eloquent of men. Then in the audience there seemed to be a lot of screaming ladies. The question came up about who would Jake be interested in dating or something and basically he said he would have to choose the ladies at this particular point in his career.
Close enough I think :-)
You old crank........

Hottie Kellan Lutz saw Jake's balls!
Nice balls, Jake!
To whoever keeps asking for proof that Jake is gay, be careful what you wish for. Someone may just take you up on that dare.
I love dares!
Isn't it weird that every time I see a pic or a screen image of some Hollywood starlet actor, I inmediately think if it could be Reese's next fake boyfriend?
I mean, she needs to safe face and get a new guy before Jake finds himself another beard.And I bet he will have a female by his side for POP's release.
But as much as I try, I really can't think of a good candidate! I hope this doesn't mean she will re-think continuing the reeking for a couple of more years :(
sorry, it seems that i'm suffering a reeke post-trauma
I bet he will have a female by his side for POP's release.
Yeah. Mom. Or Maggie. Gemma, a costar, producer, or his manager.
It will probably be Gemma. They will make a pretty "couple" on the red carpet.
Just what I need, another gay boy.
gemma is sexy at least and they are cute together.
Jake spent a year single after breaking up with Kiki. Now that the great, passionate, all consuming romance that was Reeke is over, he could probably milk another year being single. After all he needs time to get over his broken heart after Reese dumped him.
Heads up: Imaginarium of Doctor P. opens wide (400 theaters) around the US.
I hope it won't flop. It opened well in some European countries where it was realeased last year. Let's hope it will do ok in the US too.
^^Opens wide on Friday.
"After all he needs time to get over his broken heart after Reese dumped him"
He has no time if he wants a family
He has no time if he wants a family
Jake said in an interview he needs to find the perfect mother for his yet unborn child. So, it may take a while till he finds his perfect baby ma. ;)

Bitch-Back! Supernatural Split?
Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki:
"Kind of reminds me of when both James Van Der Beek and Kerr Smith got married around the same time that Dawson's Creek finished. Both filed for divorce last year.
Interesting that now both Jared and Jensen decide to get married around the same time. Will we see a pair of divorces down the road in a few years?"
Maggie on Sex and Crazy Love, Pt. 1
NYT
Ms. Gyllenhaal is doing double-duty this year, campaigning for “Crazy Heart” and rooting for “An Education,” which stars her husband, Peter Sarsgaard.
Fingers crossed!
Why are these people such idiots. Do they really think engagements/getting married is going to get them work?
For Brokeback Mountain star Jake Gyllenhaal, competition is a constant companion. He grew up with a talented older sister, Maggie, and they followed their parents into the film industry – both featuring in 2001's Donnie Darko, the oddball time-travel movie and teenagers' favourite.
Since then, Jake has, on the whole, worked in bigger-budget pictures such as The Day After Tomorrow, Jarhead, Zodiac and Rendition, while Maggie, prior to The Dark Knight, was very much an indie queen. Their competitive edge, however, is ever present.
"The idea of competition, particularly in a creative atmosphere, is always there," says the younger Gyllenhaal with a wry smile. "And, if you don't acknowledge that, you are doing yourself and the process a disservice. That's what brothers and sisters and family are like. For instance, my sister had a couple of years before I turned up, but I have been with her since the beginning of my life, so there is always going to be a great bond, and always a little competition."
This creative spark, fostered by friendly rivalry, extends to Gyllenhaal's latest movie, Brothers, a taut family drama in which he stars opposite Natalie Portman and Tobey Maguire, playing Gyllenhaal's older brother. It's the latter who has scooped the early plaudits, earning a Golden Globe nomination courtesy of the fact that his character enjoys the most emotionally disturbing scenes, but Gyllenhaal more than holds his own.
"What made it fun working on Brothers with Tobey, who is my contemporary, was the acknowledgement of admiration and the acknowledgement of competition," says the 29-year-old Californian. The pair's rivalry extends back to a series of rumours that broke in 2008, which claimed that Gyllenhaal was set to replace Maguire in the Spider-Man franchise. As it happens, Maguire kept the part.
On a cold winter's day in Manhattan just before our interview, Gyllenhaal dominates an early morning press conference, offering snappy answers with good grace and humour. "People have very often said to me that I look like Tobey, so I thought it was perfect casting," he laughs at one point. "They really just made Brothers so it could be said that I look different from Tobey. In fact, to all those cab drivers out in New York, I am not Spider-Man!"
In the past, Gyllenhaal has often proved something of a reluctant interviewee, so when we sit down together a short while later, I ask if he is more at ease with himself nowadays.
"I do feel that," he says. "I really do feel that way. I think that my director on Brothers, Jim Sheridan, started it off. He ignited something, which was like, 'You can be whatever you want or, if not, whatever you are is enough.' "
Dublin-born Sheridan has a gift for extracting strong performances from his cast, directing Daniel Day-Lewis and Brenda Fricker to Oscar glory in My Left Foot, scooping seven Academy nominations for In the Name of the Father, and overseeing performances from Samantha Morton and Djimon Hounsou that culminated in nominations for In America. In Brothers, he forges a relationship between Gyllenhaal and Maguire that is based partly on his own with his younger brother.
"He walked up to me in the beginning of this movie, and he said [adopts Irish accent], 'Jake, I just want you to know, you're playing my little brother in the movie, so I'm going to have to hate you most of the time.' Honestly, he was like, 'I f------ hate you!' But clearly the process worked."
The director's latest project is a remake of the 2004 Danish film by Susanne Bier, which shares the same name, although Sheridan has shifted the focus, concentrating less on the taboo romance that blossoms in the original and more on the implosion of a seemingly strong family unit. In his movie, Gyllenhaal stars as Tommy, a wayward former jailbird and very much the rotten apple of his military father's eye.
Tommy's elder brother, Sam (Maguire), is a captain in the US Marines and a decorated veteran, but, when he returns for another tour in Afghanistan, his chopper is shot down and the Taliban imprisons him. The US government assumes he is dead and informs his devastated wife, Grace (Portman), and the wider family. With Sam seemingly gone, Tommy bids to turn his life around and finds himself drawing closer to his grieving sister-in-law, and his two young nieces who, as events unfold, come to adore him.
When Sam unexpectedly returns from Afghanistan, where he has suffered a horrifying ordeal, he struggles to re-adapt to family life. He certainly cannot cope with the relationship that has developed between his brother and wife, no matter how innocent or objectively justifiable it might be.
"Because I made Jarhead and Rendition, people might think that I've now done a few war movies, but that's not how I see this movie," says Gyllenhaal. "I think that this movie is a journey, the journey that Tobey's character makes to get back home. It is intertwined with a lot of other family complications – this is a Jim Sheridan movie after all – but mostly it is about what this man does to get back to the people that he loves, and to his life."
Around the time of our interview, the US gossip sheets carried tales that Gyllenhaal had split from his girlfriend, actress Reese Witherspoon, whom he met while shooting 2007's Rendition, but both sides have denied this.
Whatever happens in his personal life, Gyllenhaal's career is blossoming. After Brothers, he will be seen in his first big franchise movie, the Disney-backed computer-game adaptation Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, in which he plays a street-bum-turned-warrior embarking on a fantasy adventure with Gemma Arterton's princess.
"Working on a movie like Prince of Persia was awesome," he beams. "It was great fun to be an action hero and to jump around, running off walls and fighting and having great quippy lines. And wearing only half of your clothes, of course!"
'Brothers' opens on Jan 22.

Why are these people such idiots. Do they really think engagements/getting married is going to get them work?
Jared and Jensen? Publicity and heterosexual image can't their careers.
Has Jake always been this boring and predictable in his interviews? His answers are easily interchangeable with the answers of every other PR-coached actor out there.

Two things:
1. "whom he met while shooting 2007's Rendition"??? Is it possible that no one questions tabloids as source of "information"?
2. Writer mentions "gossip sheets" and then doesn't even bother to check them before publishing the interview?!
Bitch-Back! Supernatural Split?
Dear Ted:
Been seeing some gossip spread around about my favorite demon fighter. Apparently Jared Padalecki is engaged? Is this true and is it true love? Much love from across the pond!
—X
Dear Jackles 4 Life:
Engagements (particularly rumored engagements) are like press releases in this town. They're often whipped up with great thought as to how it sounds, rather than how it's actually going to come to pass. Jake and Reese? Casey Johnson and Tila Tequila? I promise you two things: 1) Had Casey lived, that wedding never would have taken place, and, 2), Jared Padalecki and his super-tight Supernatural bud, Jensen Ackles, will sooner marry each other than who they're currently rumored to be getting hitched to. If I'm wrong? I'll get Taryn Ryder a date with Ryan Gosling.
Reeke was an irredeemable pile of garbage since the begining. Their PR couldn't even come up with a believable story about how they started "dating".
Everybody was aware that the two of them knew each other for years! Rendition set meet,mi ass! One of the two: or this was the most terribly managed fauxmance in HW's History OR, Jake & Chin were going at it for years before she split from her hubby.
This would mean Reese is a cheater just like Ryan "the Devil" Philippe
Since, I'm a JiG believer, I'm inclined for the first option.But I don't understand how even the most deluded fangirls and Reeke's supporters can denial this facts when they swear Reese is the most perfect and moral person in the world and Jake gets a free pass from stealing his friends's wifey and let those children (whom he truly adores,aparently) with a set of divorced parents.
"the most deluded fangirls" don't care , they have already forgotten Reese.
The most deluded fangirls and Reeke's supporters will support ANYTHING if they can use it as an "argument" that Jake didn't fake a relationship with a woman.
"the most deluded fangirls" don't care
Of course they care. They supported reeking and pretended to like Reese because that is fangirl duty. Fangirls will continue to claim that Jake really dated the chin.

As if there was any doubt.
Just thought we'd just make super-duper sure, ya know, just in case Jake Gyllenhaal changed his mind at the last minute before the press-crazy Prince of Persia premiere. Thinking, I dunno, maybe he'd want to take Oscar-winning ex Reese Witherspoon as his date. Instead of his sis, Maggie, the rents, BFF Austin Nichols, or even that that octopus from Sesame Street Jake bonded with recently.
"It's not happening," insisted a source close to Jake. "No way."
But you do know how pushy publicists can be in situations like this, don't you?
Just look at WWK's fab scoop on Supernatural star Jared Palecki's engagement to his costar Genevieve Cortese, if you don't believe me.
Now, let's see, it was only secs ago Jared was engaged to what's her face, right? Sandra McCoy? Lasted for about as long as this one will, probably, or about as long as Reese's rumored engagement to Jake did, for a better example. Point is: These stars have product to sell, and part of the selling is the personal.
To witness, who gave better bike-ride and mocha latte photo-op love than former Rendention stars, Jake and Reese?
Nobody! That's who.
Gyllenspoon was the utter epitome of syrupy, starry cutie-pie couple made in red-carpet heaven. Which is why, when multiple rumors circulated over the holidays that Jake was panting to get Reese back, we thought it best to check and make sure Jakey might not be getting splits-ville cold feet?
And trust us, our Jake source smacked down those rumors with sardonic chuckles.
Gosh, wonder if it's true Jake got tired of Reese's totally tight-ass ways?
My fave one about Reesey (and there are so many tales, really), is that she insists on buying two calendars for every year, should one get dirty and smudge-marked sometime around July. How Martha Stewart! How adorably vomit-inducing!
Our inside Gyllenhaal source would not comment, either way, regarding the source of the split—a disagreement over decaf or regular frappacuinos, maybe? They only assured us Jake ain't goin' back there. Ever.
Gotta say this is the best news I've heard about Jake, who I've always been fond of, since he put that miniskirt on for Prince of Persia. I mean, that move on top of being Reese's little bike-riding bitch, just made us true Jake jammers wince with embarrassment. The octopus may have been bad enough, but, being little Ms. Witherspoon's beck-and-call nanny and jogging mate was simply beyond the pale.
Welcome back to your manhood, Jake. We've missed you and we expect far more butch crap in the future, so, Starbucks is a no-go for at least six months, hear?

uh-oh, when Ted says something is not going to happen, it usually does happen... :(
Come on, it was Jake who refused to extend the contract, Reeke is showmance history.
Zzzzzzzzz. The tight ass ways are from Lainey. The 2 calendar crap is from one of her interviews she did once. Lame.
Yes 1:35 PM #2, Reese Witherspoon is beyond lame.
How lame is it that JJ has a Reese post and repeats the talk about Jake wanting her back. Reese's pr people must be fuming over Ted's story bitch-slapping her.
Reese's PR people will milk it as much as they can.
The reason for his "post" was about the In Touch "story" , which he didn't mention.
There is nothing to the story, so I doubt thaPr could care. He took the tight ass stuff from Lainey and the calendar stuff from one of her interviews and fazked a source that says that he isn't going back. Anyone could have done the same, why does he even bother???
You call that bitchslapping, LOL!!
Ted=Lame. And what does j he mean by getting back to butch things? More fake tattoos?
1:35 PM, 1:51 PM, 1:52 PM
Hi Trolly, still pissed off with Ted? lol
And what does j he mean by getting back to butch things?
That shouldn't be a problem because almost everything is butch compared to being a doormat for boring bitch Reese Witherspoon.
Getting back to more butch things is a reference to not looking like reeses little fairy princess anymore. He certainly looked so out of place and wimpish when he was with reese. Except for that last photo op when he acted like the W's werent even there. I wonder who the rest of the yogurt was for.
I'm a TB'er and i'm pissed off at fucking Ted. That shit was pasted together. There is no "inside" info in that post.
He can say whatever he wants because if the opposite happens he will just ignore it like when he predicted that they would break up in 2008, no sources that time just his predictions, but this is w/o sources as well and his predict.
He was just responding to letters sent and not posted like the one i sent wondering if it would start up again for Pop, i'm sure I wasn't the only one asking.
That's his "source" , he is as bad as the shitty rags.
I'm a TB'er and i'm pissed off at fucking Ted. That shit was pasted together. There is no "inside" info in that post.
How would you know that? You live in Ted's pocket?
Jake did NOT look pissed at LAX, why do you lie and make up things?

Keep your girdle on...
You can't even have your own interpretation of a photo around here without being called a lier LOL
in-haus troll
LOL! You make it sound so upscale and fashionable!
Trolly, what the fuck is wrong with you?
You knew that Jake dumped the beard and that fauxmance is over and done.
You can't even have your own interpretation of a photo around here without being called a lier LOL
Read your post.
Come on Trolly, tell us the truth, why are you so furious about Ted's kicking Reese's phony ass?
2:16 can you LOL!!! any more at your own lame ass commentary or what. Sheesh. Get a grip.
Clang clang went the trolly....
Ding ding ding went the bell....
Girdled haus fraus don't like free speech, only Ted's third hand gossip
Come on Trolly, tell us the truth, why are you so furious about Ted's kicking Reese's phony ass?
Trolly is probably Reese or her spittin-image best friend.
Posting every 1 minute?!
Somebody is playing both "troll" and "anti-troll".
Please desist.
The reason for his "post" was about the In Touch "story" , which he didn't mention.
Trolly, learn to read, Ted said that In Touch "story" was the reason he asked about the possibility of more reeking.
Uh 2:27, no. When you have quite a few posters posting, there's going to be lots of back and forth and posts every minute or two. Jeezus.
2:23 PM
Free speech?!? LMAO, trolls are out of their minds, they DEMAND the right to post shit and insult regular posters.
"uh-oh, when Ted says something is not going to happen, it usually does happen... :("
yeah I second that!
"Trolly, learn to read, Ted said that In Touch "story" was the reason he asked about the possibility of more reeking."
Wait a minute , Ted need to read others tab to make predictions?
I thought he had reliable sources for that!
yeah I second that
Sorry, there will be no more reeking.
Free speech?!? LMAO, trolls are out of their minds, they DEMAND the right to post shit and insult regular posters.
Insulting=calling a poster a lier because they said Jake looked "pissed off", which didn't agree with your divine opinion
Anyone else get the feeling that Jake has ADD and/or loses things easily?! First, the same jeans he wore almost every day, then the leash-like keychain on a long green hose, now a bright yellow backpack that even a blind man can't miss!
One of those trolls was supposedly a big Reese fan. Was if Jack or Jeff, can't remember which one.
Funny how Ted never mentions BT anymore. When it reaches school age, it will have to catch the bus with a paperbag over its head
When it reaches school age, it will have to catch the bus with a paperbag over its head
Especially if it has Jake's eyebrows and Austin's ears.
LOL!
Jake's eyebrows and Austin's ears
Hope it isn't a girl, poor thing!
One of those trolls was supposedly a big Reese fan.
I think troll just promoted the bitch because he thought that it would help the fauxmance.
Roflmao!
2:27: I read his crap shitstain and he just said "rumors over the holidays thst he was panting to get back". He didb't specifically mention In Touch because thats what he was talking about. Funny how he had to use that as a reason to ask a "source"!! Too bad the "source" didn't supply him with the real reason for the break!!!
Ted is as lame as Lainey, Perez, In Touch, Us and People combined.
Poor BT, hidden from the world. I bet he can't take the daylight hiding in the dark!!
Anyone else get the feeling that Jake has ADD and/or loses things easily?!
Hm, don't get how would "the same jeans he wore almost every day" support that theory.
"Funny how Ted never mentions BT anymore"
BT was mentioned in a BitchBack question last month.
Jake has ADD and/or loses things easily?!
That's why Jake got 2 identical smokey gray Camrys. If he didn't, he wouldn't remember what car to look for in a parking lot.
He didb't specifically mention In Touch because thats what he was talking about.
Trolly, your attempts to discredit Ted are really pathetic. What is wrong with you?
Hm, don't get how would "the same jeans he wore almost every day" support that theory.
ADDers tend to wear the same comfort clothes every day. Less confusion (it's like a daily uniform, no thought or deep planning required), plus a lot of their clothes tend to get misplaced and lost, left in the hamper, left in the dryer, left at the cleaners....
Trolly, your attempts to discredit Ted are really pathetic. What is wrong with you?
Yes trolly, there is something wrong with you, bacause, how dare you not agree with them. You're not allowed to have your own opinion.
2:55 PM
Playing stupid doesn't make you look smart.
left at a friend's house, left in the bushes, left in the pool, left at the bar, left somewhere in a car, in a parking structure, at the beach....
Nice try trolly
Who are "them", 2:55 PM?
