Heath Andrew Ledger
What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind...

ReplyDelete''In the past,'' he says, ''I've tried so hard to withhold myself — even down to giving a smile.'' The actor, who is Australian, speaks with a commonwealth accent that's both arch and street. ''I didn't want to be people's opinions of who I am or what I said,'' he says. One day, his girlfriend, Michelle Williams, wrote a song title — ''Old Man River'' — on his forearm. Ledger got a tattoo artist to run the needles over her words, the way a shopkeeper will frame his first dollar. The song comes from a sad musical, and contains this key advice: ''He must know somethin', he don't say nothin'.''
So last summer, when the couple, first saw Brokeback Mountain — sitting in one of the poker-faced office towers of Manhattan — it should have been perfect: no people, no opinions. The room went dark. Ledger rides a horse, falls in love with another man, breaks his heart, misses out on the chance of his life. The lights came up, Ledger and Williams moved through the lobby. And Ledger had no idea what he'd just seen. ''I understood that it flowed, it was presented well. But whether it was good, whether it was bad — we walked out not knowing what we'd just watched.''

ReplyDeleteAng Lee May Re-Team with James Schamus for a New, “Suicidally Depressing” Feature
ReplyDelete...
In an interview with THR’s Heat Vision Blog, writer/producer/studio big-wig James Schamus revealed that he has begun work on an as-yet-untitled script for Ang Lee to direct. Schamus has previously produced films like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Brokeback Mountain for Lee along with writing scripts for both Hulk and Taking Woodstock.
Aside from the “suicidally depressing” part, details on this new feature are kind of thin. When asked if the script was an original concept or an adaptation of some kind, Schamus replied “It’s kind of a weird mix of both.”
Asked how he and Lee might proceed with their latest collaboration, Schamus admitted that Lee’s participation is not yet guaranteed:
“I never work that closely with him in the writing process. This (movie) was totally me. I became enamored of something and we had long talks about why… Once we’ve established that, I’ll go off and write, and maybe he’ll make it, maybe he won’t. There’s no contractual thing. This will be quite low budget.”

Rumor patrol: Adam Lambert was spotted chatting up ex Drake LaBry at the Mr. Black party at nightspot Bardot Hollywood, where the Idol runner-up set up shop on the patio and sipped vodka. There was "some heavy flirting going on," an onlooker tells us. But, another source assures us, they're just good friends. "They're not back together," the source says, "but they are still very close. Adam cares for him a lot."
Maggie Gyllenhaal treated her 3-year-old daughter Ramona to a cupcake – well, half a cupcake – at M Café Melrose in L.A. The actress asked the cashier to cup the dessert in half, before giving a piece to Ramona to eat on the spot. Gyllenhaal also picked up a chopped salad and some dinner specials to-go. Earlier that day, Glee stars Lea Michele, Cory Monteith and Dianna Agron ordered sushi and deli salads, and even took some photos with two customers before leaving.

ReplyDeleteHeath Ledger gets rough and randy with Jake Gyllenhaal
We got hot just hearing Jake Gyllenhaal report to Elle Magazine (scroll down) on his kisses with Heath Ledger in the upcoming gay cowboy film Brokeback Mountain.
“Heath almost broke my nose in [a kissing] scene. He grabs me and he slams me up against the wall and kisses me. And then I grab him and I slam him up against the wall and I kiss him. And we were doing take after take after take. I got the [bleep] beat out of me. We had other scenes where we fought each other and I wasn’t hurting as badly as I did after that one.”
Slam, kiss, slam, kiss, [bleep]. Sounds like the new Colt Studios flick Buckleroos to us.

Dear Ted:
ReplyDeleteJust asking...if a Blind Vice is true and/or half of Hollywood already knows the truth, what legal trouble can you get in for revealing it?
—J.R.
Dear Naive:
On a lot of the gay ones, I could probably finagle an answer out of some, legally speaking. But in my gut, wouldn't do it. It's ultimately up to them. I'll gently push them, though: Come on, Toothy!
Dear Ted:
I hope all is well. My doggy sends a friendly "woof" to your kids! I have two questions. Not sure if this has already been asked, but first question is: Do Toothy and Grey Goose actively raise Baby Tile, or was this a "sire" situation? (As in Toothy, uh, provided elements to help make the baby for a friend or family member who is raising the baby). Second, of all the closeted Blind Vices you've reported over the years, which one is most likely to come out?
—Sarah
Dear Tough Questions:
(a) Active; (b) My guess? Crotch Uh-Lastic.
The Awful Truth
7:02: Maggie said earlier that she was in L.A. for work. She made that comment during the GG's. She said that she wasn't going to go to GG's but since she was going to be in L.A. she might as well go and support Jeff Bridges.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure she is visiting her father as well, but work is the main reason she is in L.A.

ReplyDeleteWell, this one time? At band camp?
My best buddy (hunnerd percent straight) when we were about 12 did this thing that was really great.
We were totally bored during a lecture. Everybody was sitting on the floor, he was next to me. (I am a Homosexual.)
He took my hand and lightly dragged the eraser end of a pencil across my palm for several minutes. It kept me awake, and we quietly laughed about it. I did the same to him. We got in minor trouble and stopped.
P. S.: So in that particular case it did not mean that we wanted to have sex, but I think the lecturer thought we did, which is why we got a big glare from him. :D

ReplyDelete*cough*
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw Douglas Carter Beane's play on Broadway in 2006, I suggested it belonged to a specifically American genre: the gay boulevard comedy. But, although it is resolutely American, I hope it thrives over here because it deftly satirises Hollywood's eternal hypocrisy about sex; even today, as the programme reminds us, there are still no openly gay leading men in Tinseltown.
ReplyDeleteCarter Beane's play depends on an ingenious imbroglio. Diane, a top Hollywood agent, wants to make a movie of a hit New York play about male lovers. She's also desperate for her fast-rising client, the discreetly gay Mitchell, to star in it. To accomplish her aims, this power-dressed female Machiavel has to pull off two tricks: coerce the writer into turning his play into a hetero romance; and keep the sexual preferences of her client, who has fallen for a bisexual rent boy, under wraps. How Diane manages to cash in, while preventing her client coming out, motors the plot.
Admittedly, Carter Beane occasionally indulges in special pleading: Mitchell's argument that in America only "upper middle-class, straight, conservative men" can be what they want is, in the age of Oprah and Obama, open to all sorts of objections. But his play is both funny and perceptive about Hollywood's contempt for wordsmiths and its sexual double standards.
"A writer with the final cut?" shrieks Diane. "I'd rather give firearms to small children." We are also reminded that, even after Brokeback Mountain and Philadelphia, Hollywood thrives on sexual and professional secrecy. In a telling passage Diane reveals how she desisted from avenging herself on a director. If you want to win in Hollywood, she says, "all you have to do is shut up." The play belongs to Diane, and even if Tamsin Greig is a bit broader than her Broadway counterpart, she brings the right demonic energy and well-tailored control-freakery to the role: she is diabolically funny in the best scene where, at a lunch with the unseen writer, she conveys her deep-seated disdain for the "fag playwright".
Rupert Friend as her smitten client, Harry Lloyd as his boyish lover, and Gemma Arterton as the latter's disposable squeeze all offer good complementary support, and Jamie Lloyd's production is smooth as butter.
The play may be too showbizzy for some tastes but, behind its Manhattan waspishness, lurks a general truth: while Hollywood may be the global dream-factory, it still lies about its operatives' sex-lives.

CNN vs Jennifer Aniston [This was not directly from CNN but HLN, the sister/brother/uncle/whatever site.]
ReplyDeletePeople Magazine may be buying up all the real estate inside Jennifer Aniston’s ass but CNN has taken a decidedly different approach. Which is very surprising. And amazingly smutty. Mainstream outlets don’t usually go for the snark. Theirs is the clean and friendly approach. This why the Blog began to grow. Because you, me, the collective We were sick of the celebrity press machine spinning bullsh-t covered in sugar.
However CNN’s Showbiz Tonight the other night sounded more like a gossip blog than an entertainment tv show. Thanks to Sarah for the link.
They devoted 9 MINUTES to breaking down the Aniston Fraud.
What?
Yes. 9 minutes of what they call her Love Hoax, straight up calling her out on her PR shenanigans, suggesting that Fabulous at 40! pretends to date people only when she has to sell a movie.
What???
Yes. They discussed her “attention-seeking antics” on the heels of her Golden Globes“flirtation” with Spittle Gerard Butler to promote The Bounty Hunter, comparing it to her convenient Oscar date with John Mayer last year for the release of He’s Just Not That Into You. Then they introduced what they christened the Jennifer Aniston Pre-Movie Checklist noting 3 patented plays that Team Aniston always puts on the field when she wants you to see her at the movies. These plays are as follows:
1. Date a famous guy.
2. Racy magazine photos.
3. Tell-all interview about Brad Pitt
As if all that wasn’t enough, CNN then invited two panellists onto the program to collectively analyse Aniston’s famewhore game together. FULL FRONTAL ASSAULT.
This is almost unprecedented. All in good fun, but it’s extremely rare. And she’ll hear about it too. Stephen Huvane will hear about it and he will punish CNN. He’ll shut them out of her junket room, he’ll kick them off her carpet...
This is how the game works, this is why so many mainstream agencies have to stick their fingers down their throats to be nice. Journalistic freedom? Please. Not with the A list.
Which is why segments like these are so rare. Enjoy it while you can...

Jake Gyllenhaal is one of those guys who always needs a girlfriend
ReplyDeleteFor some strange reason, the tabloids are full of stories about Jake Gyllenhaal this week. None of the stories is all that scandalous or interesting, but put them all together and perhaps a picture will form. What is that picture? That Jake could be very, very upset about his breakup with Reese, and that everyone is trying to help him and set him up on dates and cheer him up and give him advice. That’s seriously the theme of these stories… which I find strange. Do I buy that Jake is the kind of guy who gets utterly devastated by a breakup and mopes around Hollywood parties getting advice from Sean Penn? Hmmm…
First up, In Touch claims that Jake’s Brothers costar and friend Tobey Maguire tried to set him up with a Reese Witherspoon-lookalike, only this girl had curly hair. Jake and the girl “seemed to hit it off on their first date… he was listening intently whenever she spoke.” One of Jake’s “friends” tells the mag that Jake is “lonely” and that he “wants a girlfriend.” Oh, he’s one of those guys. Those guys who don’t know how to function without a girlfriend or wife. Those guys are strange, in my opinion.
Meanwhile, Star Magazine reports that Reese and Jake are still talking, and might consider getting back together. Reese is “torn apart” since dumping Jake, and her kids are upset too. A friend tells Star: “Reese said Ava has been e-mailing Jake, asking him to come back. Reese says she realizes he’s more mature than she gave him credit for, and he won’t just walk away from her like Ryan did. That was her big concern.” And what about Jake? “His heart was broken… he said they should take a few months to figure out where they stand.”
And finally, both Star Magazine and the National Enquirer have stories about Jake and Sean Penn bonding or something. In Star’s version, Sean was introducing Jake to models at a party a few weeks ago, and Sean and Tobey Maguire acted as Jake’s “wingmen” because he was too shy to talk to the girls right away. This version seems totally… weird. The Enquirer’s version sounds a bit better though:
Bad boy Sean Penn is giving Jake dating advice!
Jake was moping his way through a party at Hollywood’s Chateau Marmont on January 9 when Penn stepped in.
“It was obvious Jake was upset. He wasn’t smiling or talking much, so Sean walked over to him, patted him on the back, and told him to be thankful he and Reese never got married,” an insider divulged. “Sean told Jake that marriage is overrated, and he should enjoy the single life because he has the rest of his life to be married.”
“Jake looked like he was taking Sean’s anti-marriage advice to heart. He smiled a lot more after their little chat.”
[From The National Enquirer, print edition, February 1, 2010]
Okay, how screwed up do you have to be to not only get advice from Sean Penn, but to actually take that advice? If Sean Penn told me to duck, I would jump up. If he told me to go right, I would go left. If he told me to zig, I would zag. So, my advice to Jake: either ignore Penn, or just do the opposite of whatever he told you. So… don’t enjoy the single life. Get married. And continue moping around.

ReplyDeleteI think something's definitely going on as far all this stuff regarding setting Jake up with sombody. I think it's being fed.
It's coming too fast and too often in just the span of a couple of weeks. Good grief, before you know it, all of Jake's friends in HW will have him on the Dating Game and consulting EHarmony for matchups.
LOL, that would be funny to see who he'd get matched up with on EHarmony. The computer spits out a picture of Austin or Heath.
All of a sudden, though, he's a big broken heart who must be attached. And fast. It's all starting to get to be a bit much.

ReplyDeleteBad reputation.
Didn't he film an announcement? As for not being one of the operators, I imagine he doesn't want to be in the same room with his ex, especially if she really shredded what remained of his clothes in her house and sent them back to him in scraps.
ReplyDeleteOh please she didn't shread his cloths stop believing rags even there BI's.
ReplyDeleteThere are less than 1oo names on that list, I assume that mot on the list above were added after the first list of names were announced. Would have to check out the original list.
It would be immature on his part to cancel because his ex is there, Brad and Jen are going to be there, makes him look like a whiny jerk.
The room should be big enough for them both
"If Jake has to have a beard, I hope its Kate Hudson. At least she's fun and sexy.

After Reese, it couldn't be any worse. Two people I despised are part of the Telethon, TimerFlake and Witherhoon, both from Tennessee. Apparently the home of self important, overrated and fake blond headed children who never grew up.
Robert Patteraon was one of the first announced and he isn't there unless he dropped out. Also I saw another list on ABC,com and it had Meryl Streep, Leo, Clint Eastwood, those names are not on the list above either.
ReplyDeleteI doubt they all dropped out.
Didn't he film an announcement?
ReplyDeleteYes.
Reese Witherspoon is just ex-beard.
That shredded clothes BI isn't about Witherspoon - no one would describe Jake as "her off-again boyfriend" and Jake never lived in her house, so there was no clothes to shred.
Robert Patteraon was one of the first announced and he isn't there unless he dropped out.
ReplyDeleteThose are superstar operators, Robert is one of the presenters.

ReplyDeleteThanks for that. You know, if Jake was straight and some of the rag stories true, I'd say Jake is a complete bore (but he's not straight, right?) and not even as an actor I find him that interesting. He's solid, but nothing above that...yet.

ReplyDeleteSupposedly he was in her house a lot. And an X17 pap allegedly saw Jake's assistant pic up his clothes after they broke up. Apparently she didn't take all of his clothes. LOL. ;)
Maybe he couldn't do it, he may be hosting a tea party to Ramona or spending time with Baby T and Austin. Perfect timing since everyone's attention is on the telethon.
ReplyDeleteI'm not so sure Jake was to a phone operator or not, I don't think the article stated he was going to be an operatior but he was participating which could mean his part in the PSA taped for the telethon.
6:44 PM
ReplyDeleteX17, paparazzi agency, never published ANY pictures - it is obvious that X17 made up that "Jake's assistant" story.
American Red Cross PSA video
ReplyDeleteIf the tweet is true, that's Northern California, isn't it? Maybe he's working or having a family outing.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the matter with this boy? He promises to support charities and then doesn't show up. It happened a few times already. I will be disappointed if yet AGAIN it happens. I think it's bratty behaviour. It can't be again a sceduling conflict like with the ping pong event or other events. One time he didn't appear at a charity event, he was seen at a concert!!! You can imagine that fans were pissed, they paid to support the charity also (or mainly) because he should be there.
ReplyDeleteWhy would Jake make promises without the intention to go? What would be the point, getting bad publicity?
ReplyDeleteIf the tweet is true, that's Northern California, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteYes.
"Other mega-celebs who will present and/or help in the phone banks are Jennifer Aniston, Jake Gyllenhaal, Brad Pitt"
ReplyDeletePresent could be a taped PSA. It doesn't state Jake will be there as an operator. Its only 2 hours Televised, most of the people on the list are CAA represented, its probably not even a confirmed list. I only recall one recently cancelled charity event, ping pong.
Most recent list only have the names of the artist performing.
Is anyone going to watch?
ReplyDeleteWhy would Jake make promises without the intention to go? What would be the point, getting bad publicity?
ReplyDeleteMaybe the event planners approach him and ask him to take part and he agrees (maybe because he can't say no to their face, but then cancels it last minute (and goes to a concert instead. ;))) or they approach his management and they agree because it's also good publicity. Sometimes he does show up, but often he did not.
and goes to a concert instead
ReplyDeleteThat concert - there were pictures of Jake or that was just a sighting/"sighting"?
IMO Jake's name, along with the many other celebs, was initially put on the charity announcement list [and other past charity lists] to warrant priority mentions of the event in the media, to garner public attention to the charity event, and to help draw other celebs to participate.
ReplyDeleteWhen groups do stuff like that, they put Jake (and other celebs) between a rock and a hard place. What's he going to do, deny that he's for a charitable foundation?! And then when he isn't on the final announcement list or doesn't appear at the function, he looks like a flake - even though he was never supposed to be there in the first place. But the public doesn't know that.
That concert - there were pictures of Jake or that was just a sighting/"sighting"?
ReplyDeleteI don't know if they were "sightings" sightings, but a few people reported they saw him at the concert.
Maybe the event planners approach him and ask him to take part and he agrees (maybe because he can't say no to their face, but then cancels it last minute
ReplyDeleteMy bet is that (1)his PR person gets an email or maybe a phone call about an event (2)the charity person is pushy (3)to placate the charity person and get them to quit bothering them the PR person says "Well, I don't know his firm schedule and I have to ask him about this first, but pencil him in anyway" (4)the charity person knows what the PR person said was shit but since he was "penciled in" uses his name on the initial announcement list as a hook. And prays to god that maybe, just maybe he really will be interested, i.e. bored, needing PR, or gasp - a true charitable interest - in participating.
Who knows 7:38 PM ?
ReplyDeleteWill Jake dump Evelyn O'Neill?
ReplyDeleteWhy are people so upset about Jake maybe not working the phones? After seeing the devastation in Hiati and you're upset because you won't get your peek at Jake on TV or maybe hear his voice over the phone, then maybe this telethon was a bad idea. Its not about the stars, its about them helping and getting others to help. Don't be mad at Jake and critize him for what you perceive as him dodging out on a charity just because you rather focus on him instead of the cause. He may not be there for his fans to gawk at, it doesn't mean he hasn't participated and donated. Its not the Jake Gyllenhaal Telethon.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Jake didn't want to be seen publicly the second anniversary of Heath's death. You may think he has forgotten the date but I doubt those who loved Heath have forgotten what today is.
ReplyDeleteOdd how the Cafe Gratitude tweeter took pics of the food at his/her table, but none of Jake. Makes me wonder, is the tweet true?
ReplyDeleteBtw and before anyone says it (or some other tweets past/future) was PR generated or a PR fake tweet account blah blah, please keep in mind that people can have "inside jokes" between them, or can mistake someone else for Jake. There's all sorts of reasons why Jake's name can end up on a tweet or a blog.
Evelyn O'Neill is his manager, his PR rep is Carrie Bycilick (sp?). She would be the one that arranges things like that.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Jake didn't want to be seen publicly the second anniversary of Heath's death. You may think he has forgotten the date but I doubt those who loved Heath have forgotten what today is.
ReplyDeleteNot to be disrespectful, even though I think Jake cared deeply for Heath, I doubt he's the reason Jake might not being there. Maybe like a poster said, it was just a misinfo that he'll participate anyway.
^^be there
ReplyDeleteThere could be a million reasons why the tweeter didn't take pics of Jake. Wasn't sitting near him. Saw him on the way in/out. Did take pics but isn't sharing.
ReplyDeleteIts not the Jake Gyllenhaal Telethon.
ReplyDeleteLOL..maybe we should start one. "Support Toothy's Hollywood Career"
Evelyn O'Neill should be dumped after Reeke fiasco.
ReplyDeleteJake what we meant by "looking for new gf PR" didn't mean going to San Francisco where it's 80% gay.
ReplyDeleteLOL!
ReplyDeleteas one of jake G's malibu neighbors. you will not only find out that he's gay, living with Austin, but there is a baby. i shit you not.
ReplyDeleteCDAN:
ReplyDeleteSomeone in the photos has a streak going of over six months of doing coke. They are very proud of it considering they have spent about 30 days in the six months not in their home city. They like nothing more to share how they scored coke in other cities.

ReplyDeleteLOL.
7:50 pm, honestly, I don't think he wants to be in the same room with Reese (who IS there--the camera just scanned her face--she was on the telephone sitting with all the other celebrity operators like--vomit--Mel Gibson).
ReplyDelete8:15 PM,
ReplyDeletetrolly, stop posting your bullshit.
8:19: Is Jake 12 years old? If he really wanted to be there he can sit on the other side of the room.
ReplyDeleteStop making excuses dor that whiny mama's boy. It also looks like je is so devastated about the break up that he isn't even man enough to show up at this very important telethon.
There is stil rime, but this is a pattern with him.
Maybe Jake is on? Someone says he is. Hope for Haiti
ReplyDeleteOh god the first celeb they show on the phone that came on after I clicked the link was..the chin. Fuck.
ReplyDeleteReese on the Haiti thing is scary. She came off as stupid.
ReplyDeleteReese is dumb.
ReplyDeleteYup, there she is. Front row. Alot of celebs. Tobey MacGuire (sp) is in the front row, too.
ReplyDeleteI really could've done without seeing her.
OMG Reese wasn't perfect, someone will pay for making her look lke an airhead. Maybe Reese has us all fooled thinking she's cunning, maybe she is L Woods in real life. Just proves she needs a script to get through life and fake. She can't even do small talk with real people.
ReplyDeleteI really could've done without seeing her.
ReplyDeleteEspecially since she was the first thing I saw after clicking the link.
"Great energy" sounds like something LWood would say. Is Jennifer A. there?
ReplyDelete"Reese is dumb."
ReplyDeleteNooo??? Really???
Quelle surprise!
idioteque123: will call on #hopeforhaiti to speak with Reese Witherspoon and try to find out if Jake Gyllenhaal is gay himself or not.
ReplyDelete8 minutes ago
Maybe I'm jaded but alot of those celebrities could be more helpful just giving a million dollars. I totally question both the chin's and Mel Gibson's participation.
ReplyDeletewill call on #hopeforhaiti to speak with Reese Witherspoon and try to find out if Jake Gyllenhaal is gay himself or not.
ReplyDeletelol
Make her go away, make her go away. Someone release that sex tape of her and Mel Gibson now please. Just make her go away. Wait was that Jake in a stupid hat at the very top?
ReplyDeleteThey just scanned the celebs. Anyone see Jake? Where is he, in the back?
ReplyDeleteIs Reese also represented by CCA? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteJake's there, he's on his knees under the tables
ReplyDelete90% of the celebs on the telephones are represented by CAA including that awful chin.
ReplyDeleteDoing my part to help the telethon!
ReplyDelete8:46 PM # 1, ok thanks again.
ReplyDeleteWait, I'm confused if Reese broke off with Jake, why is Ava emailing Jake and will she give me is email address. I have a question or two for him.
ReplyDeleteSomeone release that sex tape of her and Mel Gibson now please.
ReplyDeleteA tape of them yelling "Heil Hitler" while having sex with a young boy and a collie. That'll do it.
Is Reese also represented by CCA?
ReplyDeleteYes. Jake and Reese are also repped by Evelyn O'Neill at Management 360. Evelyn O'Neill was with Reese at 2010 GG parties.
Evelyn is playing favorites or making sure Reese is invited to the telethon front row.
ReplyDeleteWow, Nicole Kidman..the only things that move on her face is her mouth talking and her eyes when they blink.
ReplyDeleteLive Phone Bank stream
ReplyDeleteYes. Jake and Reese are also repped by Evelyn O'Neill at Management 360. Evelyn O'Neill was with Reese at 2010 GG parties.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info.
Why Julia Roberts was great, apparently she has talked to everyday people more than once in her life.
ReplyDeleteThis is probably the first time any of them has been a landline in years.
ReplyDeleteWait Neil Patrick Harris is there and Reese Witherspoon? Would you show up if two of your exes were there within shouting distance of each other?
ReplyDeleteWTF? Why do they keep showing the same celebs? Taylor Swift, Spielberg, Colin Farrell, that other comedy guy?
ReplyDeleteOh wait San Fransico has a feed too on the telethon, Jake may be on.

ReplyDeleteWhat else? First coffee then yoga. lol
LOL Bradley Cooper holds his head with his other hand during every call and then when he hangs up he takes a chug from his water bottle. Every.single.call.
ReplyDelete9:03 #2, can you post the SF feed? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteIs that Madonna singing Like a Prayer???
ReplyDeleteThat hardly looks like her.
According to EOnline, "Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief, taking place in Los Angeles, New York, London and Haiti" sooooo if Jake is in San Francisco.... ??
ReplyDeleteIs that Madonna singing Like a Prayer???

(so he must be there, a lot of tweets today)
This doesn't make Jake look very good, does it. He just happens to be out of town in SF/Berkeley doing yoga and getting coffee while the Haiti thing is going on in LA.
ReplyDeleteOh man. The Rock aka Dwayne Johnson sure looks good. Damn good. Fuck.
ReplyDeleteJake probably didn't attend because annoying Chin is there.
ReplyDeleteHe probably does NOT want to be in the same room with Reese.
ReplyDeleteAll the celebs had to be shown how to use a landline and what a phone cord was.
ReplyDeleteThey're probably just talking to each other.
ReplyDeleteThis doesn't make Jake look very good, does it. He just happens to be out of town in SF/Berkeley doing yoga and getting coffee while the Haiti thing is going on in LA.
ReplyDeletePlease, by next week it'll be forgotten he didn't attend. There were enough other celebs anyway. I suspect he didn't go because of Chinny.
He probably does NOT want to be in the same room with Reese.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Not so much because she was a beard, but because I think they were friends first before the bearding started. IMO something happened during the bearding that totally ended the friendship as well. Something like Jake got to know what the real Reese was about. And I also think that while his method to deal with it is to not have anything to do with her, her way is to be full of revenge and spite. I'd avoid her arrogant narcissistic ass too if I were Jake.
"This doesn't make Jake look very good, does it. He just happens to be out of town in SF/Berkeley doing yoga and getting coffee while the Haiti thing is going on in LA."
ReplyDeleteYep Jake's career is over. Maybe they didn't have a spot for him, there were alot of celebs just walking around and some just sitting there. Not all of them stayed on the phones for the whole two hours. Maybe Jake's contribution was the Red Cross PSA with the other 3 celebs and it.
unstoppabls: WHEN THE FUCK IS JAKE GYLLENHAAL GOING TO APPEAR??????? Hope For Haiti Now !!

ReplyDeleteOh not to worry, 9:42 will keep reminding us, next week, the week after and the week after that.
Yep Jake's career is over.
ReplyDeleteLOL! C'mon, his career is over just because he didn't participate? I don't think so!
Screw you 10:00 #2. I just mentioned that it doesn't look good for Jake to be announced as a participant and he shows up on twitters doing yoga in SF. Jeez. Why don't you say that to everyone, that whatever less-than-glowing comment they post is going to be repeated by them "next week, the week after and the week after that." Hey everybody, don't comment on anything bad about Jake, because it ever comes up again as a topic, everyone will say it's you who keeps talking about it.
ReplyDelete"Yep Jake's career is over"
ReplyDeleteI was being sarcastic to other comment, you would think he had committed career suicide.
10:05, I think 9:59 was just joshing.
ReplyDeleteReese is so deseperate for attention, she's everywhere on the web making sure gets her pic taken with other stars at the telethon.
ReplyDeleteJake wasn't there because CAA put his name on the list w/o his Ok just to get his name out there, he never intended to go. Same with Renee Zweigler and Meryl Streep and a few others I'm sure we missed.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that you actually thought that he didn't attend because she was there says that you don't think much if him.
They are professional, they taped that PSA, sure they did it separetly but still. I'm sure if he wanted to take calls they could have placed him far away, he's a grown man. Or he could have taped a segment, but he chose not to or do a live feed from SF where he arrarently is like Clint and Matt but he didn't.
He wouldn't have gone even if she wasn't there. He seems to really have one chaeity that he is passionate about: The Green Global org. and that's probably because one of their intitives is growing organic food, etc. Something that interest him being a cook.
Juat wish he wasn't tweeted during the telethon.
FUCK YOU 10:00 #2. you're the negative poster-hating ass around here.
ReplyDeleteMaybe he and Jerry are on a romantic long weekend getaway.
ReplyDelete10:11, wow calm down. You are alive and safe.
ReplyDeleteWhat pictures 10:11pm?
ReplyDeleteThe positive about Jake not being there, in a couple weeks when the sincerity of the celebrities who were at the telethon is questioned, Jake's name won't come up. I think he believes in the cause and we don't know how else he contributed besides the PSA. Alot of celebrites don't feel the need to show the public that they care by parading themselves on TV for two hours. How of those same celebrities from tonight be there six months down the road?
ReplyDeleteJuat wish he wasn't tweeted during the telethon.
ReplyDeleteShit! We told him to stay inside during 5-7 PST.
10:21 PM, I think there are celebs who genuinely care for the cause like Clooney who organized it. I realize many celebs who donated money and announced it, announced it for publicity. But they still gave. That's what counts. Though I hope there are celebs who gave and didn't feel the need to announce it. I doubt there are many of them though.
ReplyDeleteJake's there, he's on his knees under the tables
ReplyDeleteHe helped me help Haiti.
Clooney didn't organize shit, he paid other people to do it. I do think he is a good hearted man but I think what it really turns him on is to show how good and caring he can be..
ReplyDeleteMovieNut14: Just saw Brokeback Mountain. Very moving, beautifully shot and stellar performances from Ledger (RIP) and Gyllenhaal.
ReplyDeleteabout 1 hour ago
First jake's pr denies he was at the charity event for God's Love, then he's listed for two events he doesn't show up for. Very strange.
ReplyDeleteI watched the whole thing. No sign of Jake anywhere. Reese came off looking like the biggest phony that every lived. They should never have shown her first. I bet a lot of people turned off after seeing her.I almost did.
ReplyDeleteMaybe that's why they showed Reese. Not to have people turn it off lol, but for people to see how phony and awful she is. Could be that someone in the production dept hates her too. Maybe they even read OMG and WFT!
ReplyDeleteJake's probably in SF with Jerry B fulfilling his monthly POP payment plan for January 2010.
ReplyDeleteAsked if he thinks it’s important for young gay people to have positive role models, his ambivalence vanishes. 'I really agree with that, and I feel in my heart that it’s important, but I don’t quite know yet the way to go about that. Maybe that’s the transitional thing I feel I’m in the middle of at the moment. It’s something I think about, but it’s important for me to do it at the time that’s right for me. And I’m not there yet.'
ReplyDeleteOops. British actor Ben Whishaw accidentally comes out.
ONTD
Shitty reporter. I really like Ben Whishaw though. I wish Brideshead Revisited had followed the book more and focused more on Charles and Sebastian's relationship and less on Julia. Ben and Matthew Goode had nice chemistry.
ReplyDeleteI got through and donated to a main operator.
ReplyDeleteThen I thought I wasn't gonna get transferred to a celeb.
As I was hanging up I heard a voice and I think I hung up on Taylor Swift.

^^I wish spurned partners of closeted homophobic gay celebs would do something like that.
Why do wish that? Seems like a petty and classless move and only serves to make the person scorned look like a twat.
ReplyDelete^^ Wow, there's telemarketer calls. Junk mail. We even get junk faxes at work sometimes. Now there's junk blogging??
ReplyDeleteSeems like a petty and classless move
ReplyDeleteI disagree. Like I said, if the person is a closeted homophobic gay then they deserve to be revealed as a hypocrite and outed.
Oops. British actor Ben Whishaw accidentally comes out.
ReplyDeleteLOL he outed himself. Ben has never come out or said he was bi or gay; the reason he was interviewed and asked the question by Out Magazine was because he's playing a gay role right now. So the interviewer asks him about gay role models for youth and he says he's not sure if he's ready to be one....LOL. It sounds exactly like something Jake would say by accident. We gotta get that interviewer to talk to Jake!
