Honestly I think DSF has some serious inner turmoil. He would definitely get my vote for "most likely to injure somebody for no apparent reason."
It sounds like he's saying he was jealous of the attention that another man was getting (instead of him). And to top it off, it was a man who has in some ways failed to be as ferociously anti-gay as DSF wants men to be. Therefore he attacked him.
Did you see Jake's face when Nate asked him a respectful question about Heath? You really think he's capable of laughing at Heath's expense with someone he doesn't even know? Your opinion of him must be really low then.
Well, I love Jake and will always stand by my man, but as for whether he is insensitive on some topics that concern me, THAT is a whole nother conversation. :D
I wonder what health plans the CAA bearding department offers and how long you have to wait before you can enroll in the 401K. Would it be rude to ask during my first interview?
I interpret that to mean that at first, Jake laughed with him.
Please. If any of that conversation took place (which is in doubt), no way Jake laughed with that asshole. Look what happened when Nate brought up Heath's name in a polite and sensitive way - Jake totally froze. Think what you want about Jake and Heath, but there's no way he takes Heath's death or any so-called "jokes" about it lightly.
when Nate asked him a respectful question about Heath
Well, it is a whole different setting. In an interview you're prepared for serious questions.
When somebody walks up to you unexpectedly in public you're just wanting to keep it light, and you may laugh along with them about something just to be friendly before you've processed or thought about what they've said.
So Jake made out with a fat girl (but no pictures!!), laughed at Heath's death with some stranger, shoved a girl (who won't press charges!!), and was drugged up? All VERY likely. Uh huh.
So Jake made out with a fat girl (but no pictures!!), laughed at Heath's death with some stranger, shoved a girl (who won't press charges!!), and was drugged up? All VERY likely. Uh huh.
Exactly! I feel sorry for anyone who believes this clown, especially a "fan" of Jake.
Someone asked a while back about Just Jared's comment rating system and that it wasn't working. FYI I just realized, you have to make a comment, then you can rate the others (but you can't rate your own or vote more than once).
when Nate brought up Heath's name in a polite and sensitive way
yes, other interesting topic: Even though Nate was very cute, I thought he was beyond the edge of professionalism in that interview, completely ignoring whatsername while cruising Jake.
he changed his story already, apparently now DSF said "Hey isn’t that the guy who kissed Heath Ledger…." sounds like a lot of tosh to me. and if Jake really did shove and pushed a girl in a public place the news would be anywhere right now, while DSF is the only guy talking about it
I'm guessing I'm the fan who you think may "believe" what DSF is saying, so just for the record, I don't. :)
Just sayin, a person can laugh with another person in a "hello" way (and a "you are going to get out of my personal space in 45 seconds or else" way) that has nothing to do with the content of a conversation that has not yet been processed. If there turns out to be a video of Jake laughing with this guy I would not interepret it as laughing about Heath's death.
Now the fat chicks were his groupies and he was making out with one of them. He supposedly laughe first then went nuts:
@robynsweeney isn't that the guy who killed heath ledger to one of his groupies he was making out with-She laughed-He did too but went nuts about 1 hours ago via TweetDeck in reply to robynsweeney
Some of you were ready to believe that Jerk up until he mentioned Jake making out with a girl. Maybe that was the only true thing the guy witnessed. But to be fair to this immature jerk a fat girl would be someone who weighed 100lbs that he tried to hit on but was turned down. And making out, could be a kiss on the cheek for this guy since apparently he needs to embellish to get attention from anyone.
I bet he said fucked. Like someone said he was probably angered that a rumored gay guy had more female attention than he. I bet most or much of his story is not how it really happened. If anything of it happened at all.
I agree he's making an ass of himself, but to be honest I'm not quite ready to let it go. He kind of fits the space of danger due to homophobia that concerns me. I'm interested to see this as an example of what sets people off to commit gay-bashing.
Uh that makes no sense, shouldn't Jake be the one dead if he's crushing on Heath? Wow this guy gives Jake alot of power over Heath. DSF sounds very anti american, homophobic, sexist. He's going to break Jake, hmm, I think this guy is obsessed with Jake and he shouldn't be taken as a joke. Yes he's delusional but thats what makes him dangerous to Jake. DSF has a personal vendetta aganist Mr. Gyllenhaal. Hey is there a place to alert the owners to Twitter, I don't have an account but they should be alerted.
It's also sad that Drunken Stepfather decided to bully Jake by saying "stop killing Australians cuz you crush on them". Again, men having feelings for each other is something to make fun of and use against them. Just like Renner and Mackie's hug got so much comment they'll probably never be seen together again in the same room. Jake making Heath a no-go subject gives gossipwhores more ammunition, don't you think. Though I don't know if pushing the story ("well, we are in love, he's so hot), the way Ewan McGreggor does, is better or worse. Normalization of same-sex affection/love is crucial to acceptance of gay marriage, but if mancrushes are still something to be embarassed about, we have a long way to go.
Jake making Heath a no-go subject gives gossipwhores more ammunition, don't you think.
True. It opens him up to all kinds of speculation – he doesn’t give a crap, he’s disrespectful, he hates/doesn’t like Heath, he cares way too much, he liked Heath a lot more than he should have, they had a falling out, their friendship was just PR bs, they had an affair, and so on. Not really beneficial tongue-wagging for either Jake or Heath’s memory.
So, James Randi just came out, and it's great to see the good reception. Still, I've seen a few people who have said something to the effect of, "Hey, that's great, but I really don't care about other people's sexuality, and I wish we lived in a world where it didn't matter."
And you know? That pisses me off.
I understand much of the sentiment behind these kinds of statements--many people are trying to express a wish that all of us can be considered equals, and will not be divided and conquered based on inconsequentials.
But really, the heterosexism inherent in these views is mindboggling. It presumes that if someone comes out, it's a declaration of their private sexual practices. That by having the courage to be open about how love and relationships work in your world, you're inviting people into your bedroom to check out your collection of sex toys or something. Which is bullshit.
The guy who has a picture of his wife and kids on his desk is telling you about his sexuality just as much as a guy who brings his husband to the office Christmas party. Which is to say: Not much. Likewise, there's nothing inherently lewd about a lesbian couple holding hands and smooching in a park when they're surrounded by het couples doing the same thing.
Heterosexuality is celebrated and lauded in mediated cultures around the world, and especially so in the US. Things that are, if you look at them in isolation, quite heavily sexualized are generally ignored and assumed to be normal so long as they're coded straight. We have Victoria's Secret ads on primetime, and no-one bats an eye. But John Barrowman getting his Captain Jack on? Cable only, pls. That's porn, doncha know!!
What it really comes down to is this: When the het guys who run things see something het-coded (often represented by a barely dressed, undernourished 20-year-old), the mental images they get are things they understand and enjoy. When they see something that's gay-coded--even if it's in no way overtly sexual at all--the mental images they get scare the living crap out of them. OMG NEKKID PENISES. TOGETHER. IN THE SAME ROOM. Uh, dude? Your co-worker just told you he got engaged to his boyfriend. Get over yourself. (And truthfully, sweetheart? Guys who are perfectly confident in their heterosexuality don't have visceral reactions--of any kind--to such mental images. If seeing your co-worker kiss his husband causes your brain to explode, maybe you ought to give some serious thought to why you have such a strong reaction.)
Generally speaking, Americans are fucked up about sexuality anyway (part of our lovely cultural bulimia), but this particular freakout never fails to irk me, because it's so bloody ignorant, and always comes from someone who claims to be hugely liberal and "open-minded" and blah blah blah.
Yes, of course it will be a great day when we live in a culture in which no-one bats an eye about the gender of other people's partners. But people shouldn't have to feel like they can't talk about those things because their "sexuality" is supposedy more private and personal than that of people who exclusively date the opposite sex.
OMG! I didn't know that. I hope his PR understand that we are just having fun in this blog and we are not a danger to celebrities..."
I think they are aware of this blog and its no threat to Jake and his safety. This guy went looking for trouble and he happened upon Jake. Its all documented in his twtitter account. He can delete all wants but the delete button is temporary on the internet. The guy is stupid to alert people to his plan.
So, James Randi just came out, and it's great to see the good reception.
James Randi (born August 7, 1928) (stage name The Amazing Randi) is a Canadian American stage magician and scientific skeptic best known as a challenger of paranormal claims and pseudoscience. Randi is the founder of the James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF). Randi began his career as a magician, but when he retired at age 60, he switched to investigating paranormal, occult, and supernatural claims, which he collectively calls "woo-woo."
During an interview in March 2010, Randi publicly announced for the first time that he was gay. Randi followed up the interview with a blog post confirming the announcement.
I'm sorry but I just gotta ask, why is it that every man that gets with Reese immediately grows a beard? So that they have an excuse to not go there with her or is it just to say to the rest of the world, "yes I am a beard".
I know Reese is not with Jake anymore but she is still playing the game against Jake now but its backfiring if the comments are 2 different boards are any indication.
A couple months ago somewhere around Denver (IIRC) a police dog saw a deer and he jumped out of the police car and started chasing it (lol). The cop/handler called to him and ran after them but couldn't keep up and lost them. There were helicopters searching for him, it was serious because they're worth a lot of money and they didn't want the dog to hurt anyone. Anyway after a few hours he was found unharmed. Idk if he had to take a refresher training course lol, probably. But when it comes down to it, this was a highly professionally skilled working dog with the most intensive training ever, and he still had the instinct to do what he wanted to do and disregard commands. Tbh it really bothers me to see Atticus on a street where there's obviously traffic, and he doesn't have a leash on.
Months of training, two years of following commands in the most stressful of situations — it all went out the window when Duke saw the deer.
And Duke went out the car door.
Duke, one of nine trained patrol dogs used by Denver police, was with his handler outside his Conifer home when the German shepherd spotted the deer and made a break for it. His handler, a Denver officer whom the department declined to identify, ran after Duke but couldn't catch him.
"He is a dog. He's not a human like you and me, and there's no way to predict everything he's going to do," Murray said.
Tbh it really bothers me to see Atticus on a street where there's obviously traffic, and he doesn't have a leash on.
Me, too. That's NOT a smart thing to do with any dog. I doubt Jake has used very good dog trainers or knows a lot about dogs because I've seen pics of Atticus being walked on retractable leashes. These leashes can snap, the dog can run out suddenly catching an owner unaware and into traffic (a friend's terrier was killed this way). or lunge at a passing dog. The long leash can encircle an owner's legs pulling them over, or leave a burn. In my city someone almost lost a finger because they got it entangled in a Flexi lead when the dog suddenly pulled toward a squirrel. These types of leashes are also bad for training. One of the worst things about the flexi is that it doesn't allow communication - good or bad - to "The Other End of the Leash". A properly leash trained dog can be directed with two fingers of the (usually) left hand and some voice commands. A leash is not supposed to be a REEL, which is (pun intended) what the flexi is. Flexi leashes have their place, but usually it is not where I see people using them.
11:27, I use a Flexi leash on my dog only when we go to the park so he can run a little ahead of me, is that okay? I like a regular leash when we go walking in the neighborhood, like you said, more control. When we walk to the park with the Flexi I make sure to hold down the button or lock it and keep him close. One time before I learned to do this he made a sharp right turn and went out in the street, I was like whoa! But IA Atticus should be on a leash. Animals are animals and you never know what they or another one will do.
1:26 AM, sounds as though you're using the Flexi the way it's meant to be. The purpose of a retractable is to allow urban dogs extra running and sniffing leeway in a park. But my dog trainer is adament that it should be used only in a wide-open park. If it's a crowded urban greenspace full of moms and tots, a Flexi is a bad idea. You are also right to keep your boy close (on a short lead) when you are walking to the park. You are a good dog owner. :)
Unfortunately, a lot of busy people use a Flexi in lieu of a proper walk. As a general rule of thumb, an urban dog should be walked at least 45 min 2x day on a fixed-length leash, and taken to a free-run area (large park, shore, hills) for off-leash play on the weekend. If that's not possible, a dog run where he/she can mix freely and sniff butts galore. I hope Atticus is getting himself some of that.
Maggie Gyllenhaal and her adorable 3-year-old daughter Ramona were spotted playing at Prospect Park in Brooklyn, New York on Saturday (March 20). The mother-daughter duo enjoyed the sunshine and warm weather as they played outside. What a difference a few weeks makes! We just saw the pair bundled up on the streets of Brooklyn.
Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time is a grand, sexy epic missing a soul. There are beautifully choreographed scenes and more than a few fun moments, but the characters are tragically one-note and the story collapses under the weight of its own convolution. The obvious goal by Disney and producer Jerry Bruckheimer is to recreate the box office magic of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. I’m not convinced it’s going to work. The first Pirates was a good movie, and this is just an ok one. But then again, people came in droves to see Pirates three and four, which were terrible. To sum it up, Prince of Persia is not as bad as the Pirates sequals, but it is not as good as the first one.
Prince of Persia Screening Reaction @ ShoWest 2010
This week I attended the ShoWest Convention in Las Vegas for the screening of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. I admit I was a bit nervous at first, being that the movie was based on a video game I admired.
The film does a great job of capturing the look and feel of the video game series. There are a lot of little homages to actual game play that I think will have many fans smiling in the movie theaters. The script expands on the original story of the first game and adds new characters, but it doesn’t veer far from the source. Some parts run long and feel dragged out, but I was told this is not the finished version of the film.
Jake Gyllenhaal does a great job as The Prince, I was so glad he never broke his accent like Taylor Kitsch as Gambit in X-MEN ORIGINS Wolverine. Gemma Arterton is smokin hot as Princess Tamina, but it is Alfred Molina who really steals the show as the slave turned Ostrich race mogul. I felt Ben Kingsley was drastically underused, being that he’s such an incredible actor and an important character.
I think the film’s weakest point, other than being too long, are the obvious dumb character choices that drags the film further. I doubt there are any last minute changes that can make this film better, other than shortening some scenes. The film wasn’t horrible, but it wasn’t great either. I enjoyed it and was happy how the property was treated, it could have been worse, and it is no doubt in my mind that there will be sequels.

Ramona is a cutie. And Maggie looks pretty here. Maggie seems to be a good mom. :)
I wonder why we didn't see pics of Michelle and Matilda for months? There were sightings of Michelle alone in Brooklyn a couple times sans the kid.

'There are two references to traps in the film, I wish I could tell you more, but I have to wait till Disney gives me the all clear to review the film.'
If They Called the BandB Ahead of Time, Its Owner Would've Explained Its No-Gays Policy
said...
Michael Black and John Morgan, a gay British couple, wanted to spend a lovely Friday night at the Swiss Bed & Breakfast in Maidenhead, about 30 miles northwest of London, but when they arrived owner Susanne Wilkinson refused to rent them their room. Because, eww, two dudes sharing a bed? Wilkinson, whose B&B kindly offers a Continental breakfast and "TV with Freeview + DVD player" in each bedroom, tells a reporter, "They gave me no prior warning and I couldn't offer them another room as I was fully booked. I don't see why I should change my mind and my beliefs I've held for years just because the government should force it on me. I am not a hotel, I am a guest house and this is a private house."
She should change her mind because she just violated Britain's Equality Act 2006, which forbids businesses from discriminating based on sexual orientation, and the two men reported her to the police, that's why.
PoP is a lame romance, advanture movie. Been there, done that. But Jake wants more fame and money, so... Good thing he continues to do smaller, but demanding films like LAOD (which got mostly positive feedback so far and Anne is even getting some Oscar buzz).
Anne Hathaway has been receiving letters from her ex, Raffaello Follieri, who is currently in jail, and according to a source, Hathaway is afraid to write back to tell Follieri to leave her alone, as "Anne fears anything she says to him will lead to a fresh avalanche of mail. The letters are not only torturing Anne, they are putting pressure on her new relationship." [DailyExpress]
Downfront2 – This famous female celebrity has a new movie coming out where she plays the romantic lead. If the movie does well it could lead to more romantic roles. She has been having problems getting romantic comedies because she doesn’t have any chemistry with men. In the next few weeks look for her to be photographed in the company of men. Her poor girlfriend is going to have to lay low.
That poor little girl saw Reese Witherspoon holding hands with a grow-man wearing flip-flops with long pants, and figured it was Jakey Poo. So she ran over to hand Jakey a pink umbrella, because she knows he loves nothing more than to prance around his backyard with a ruffle parasol in his hand (who doesn't?). The little girl felt a wave of disappointment hit her when she got up close and realized it wasn't Jakey. It's Reese's new piece Jim Toth! DAMN JIM for tricking that little girl by wearing man flops with pants.
.....
Hopefully, Reese has finally found someone that can blow into her hot box without giggling. Although, I do spy a few glitter flakes wafting off of Jim. It's probably nothing. Reese just likes her men the same way she likes her tea: WITH EXTRA HONAAAY!
4:05 am, unbelievable! Lol I'm finally doing something right! Yeah with the Flexis I noticed it could be dangerous in a neighborhood/street setting if he gets too far ahead because a car could be backing out of a driveway or he could step out into the street before I'm there to check if there's a car coming so I keep him reeled in. The park has a playground that we walk by and kids always run up to pet him and he's really good with them. He gets 5-7 kids surrounding him touching and petting all his different parts at the same time and he stands there like Miss America basking in all the attention and adoration. It's pathetic. I practically have to drag him away lol. Anyway he has a big yard and we play fetch every day and in the house I throw his treats across the room so he has to run for them lol. I take him on walks and to the park so he can see and smell different things. Sooo how can I make this comment related to Jake...... hmmm how about both our dogs are male, so I'm not too OT?! Sorry, I could talk about my dog all day!
Oops sorry double post. Anyone else having trouble with blogger not posting your comment, and when you repost it it decides to show up and shows up twice?! Murphy's Law.
If this catches on, half of Hollywood's females will fall into poverty. Casting for their fourth Pirates of the Caribbean, Disney specifies that fake breasts are not permitted, and actresses will be subjected to pre-shoot jiggle tests to check.
This, from the New York Post, sounds like the beginning of a porno:
The filmmakers sent out a casting call last week seeking "beautiful female fit models. Must be 5ft7in-5ft8in, size 4 or 6, no bigger or smaller. Age 18-25. Must have a lean dancer body. Must have real breasts. Do not submit if you have implants."
And they warn that there'll be a "show and tell" day.
To make sure LA talent scouts don't get caught in a "booby trap," potential lassies will have to undergo a Hollywood-style jiggle-your-jugs test and jog for judges. If there's nothing moving from the waist up, they're saying, it's a dead giveaway that you're not all flesh and bones—and you're out.
How is that not sexual harassment? On the other hand: Is there any way to prove veracity of breasts without sexually harassing? In case Disney meets any ambiguous jiggle tests, here are a few other ways I have thought of to test for veracity of breasts:
* Force actresses to answer, "Have you ever met Hugh Hefner?" * Compare and contrast lie detector result for "Are your breasts real?" with "Are you a natural blonde?" * Introduce the actresses to Donald Trump. Anyone he is attracted to can be eliminated prima facie. * You'll have to sign an NDA once you read this, but: Dr. 90210: Silicone Victims Unit
All of this raises a rather perplexing question. Because America loves fake boobs. Entire careers have revolved around fake boobs. So why would Disney ban them from Pirates? First, there's this:
"In the last movie, there were enhanced breasts to give that 18th-century whorish look, and men were pretty well padded too, and no one worried," a former casting agent said. "But times are changing, and the audience can spot false breasts."
Also, there is going to be lots of swimming and diving in this movie, and remember the Road Rules lady who bellyflopped and popped her implant? Do not try Baywatch at home, ladies. [NYPost]
You gotta love HW. They're worried about people spotting fake boobs - but have no problem promoting fake relationships and bearding, which they apparently think no one can spot, lol.
Dear Ted: My partner and I have 3 rescue dogs and have supported a local organization! Please, please answer my questions! I love your column and follow it every day! Here's what I'm wondering. As it concerns stars and their sexuality, I see three categories: 1) Celebrities who are out and proud, i.e. Neil Patrick Harris, Lance Bass, etc. 2) Celebrities who are out, but don't publicly proclaim it to the press, and can be discovered by any amateur Google-er, and 3) Celebrities who are deep in the closet and often participate in the "bearding program." Are most of the Blind Vices in category 3? For instance, if Toothy Tile (and most of the gay or bisexual Blind Vicers) came out, would you go back and tell us that said actor was Toothy Tile all along? Also, specifically about Parrish Maguire, Jackie Bouffant, and Crescent Kumquat—what age bracket do they fall into? 20s, 30s, 40s? Thank you so much Ted, and I hope you answer my questions!! Brian —Brian
Dear Categories: Right-o, most of the BVs are from the deep in the closet variety. As for the BVs you named—they definitely cover a couple of the age groups you named, and then some.
*cough* It looks like Atticus wrote this one:
Dear Ted: My German shepherd rescue, Jake, and I are sitting here discussing Blind Vices. Jake wanted me to ask if you wouldn't mind giving us a clue as to which BV is Steve Carell's? We're totally stumped! —AS
Dear Ted: So now that Kate Winslet and Sam Mendes are kaput, is there any chance for Kate and Leonardo DiCaprio to get together? I love them together! BTW it is great that you and Lainey got to meet each other and hit it off! —Yolanda
Dear Romance Redo: Kate and Leo will start a real-life relaysh about the same time Lainey and I do—which, no offense to the blogger babe, isn't happening anytime soon.
Dear Ted: "So why should it be any different for gays playing straight?" Because when people watch their fave actor perform they want to know there is a chance they could snag the guy as fantastic as that sounds. If the guy is 100 percent gay, then there is no chance in hell. So there is no point in fantasizing, or for that matter, in watching the film. —Kit
Dear Fantasy Land: Come on Kit, if it's all about fantasizing then turning a dude straight shouldn't be that far of a stretch from assuming Brad Pitt would ditch Angie to play house-hubby in Ohio.
So why should it be any different for gays playing straight?" Because when people watch their fave actor perform they want to know there is a chance they could snag the guy as fantastic as that sounds.
I hate to read this, because it is so not true for most people. It may be true for kids, but for the vast majority of people, it isn't. It doesn't matter the sexuality of the actor, it's the role you enjoy, the character. Whether the guy or girl is gay or straight, you're never gonna have him anyway, so it makes no difference. For me, it's the characters I fall for, not the player.
No, the audience can spot bad breast augmentations done by lousy, greedy doctors. I had a boob job done a few years ago. I spent almost a year researching the different processes, implants, surgery facilities to see which ones were accredited (believe it or not very few are), and most important the surgeons and their education, AMA and Board licensing, experience, I talked with their patients, I interviewed the surgeons about their worst cases and results because of course everyone will want to only talk about and show you pics of their best examples. I chose one of the best ones around, a surgeon so good that he's the one who fixes the botched jobs done by others. Anyway he cost twice as much as the other doctors but he was worth it. My boobs look and move and feel totally natural..I even dated a doctor and he couldn't tell, he had no idea. No one can tell. So the assumption that all boob jobs look fake is not true. It's all about the expertise and artistry of the surgeon, and how much time and research, and smart choices the patient makes. Sorry for the rant.
No, American does not love fake boobs. I think America would prefer real boobs. Breasts are beautiful in all of their variations, small can be as beautiful and delicate, and big can be too much of a good thing. When they look phoney, it's not attractive, plus it reduces women to nothing but their breasts.
Did Jake Gyllenhaal roughhouse with a woman this weekend?
No, we don't mean in the fun way, babes. There's a report going around that the Prince of Persia star got into a little altercation up in Montreal over the weekend.
And we're here to sort things out for you...
The alleged incident supposedly went down Saturday night at restaurant Garde-Manger.
Apparently Gyllenhaal was dancing on the bench of his table with a group of pals, ticking off a blogger from DrunkenStepfather a few feet away who found the show to be quite egocentric.
Said blogger then went up to Jake's table, turned to a girl there and goes (according the blogger himself): "Hey isn't that the guy who kissed Heath Ledger?"
Gyllenhaal apparently got in the guys face, told him to f--ck off and got the dude escorted out of the club. Only problem is in this he-said, he-said tale is that the blogger also claims his female guest was pushed about 10 times by Gyllenhaal before J.G.'s crew pulled him away.
OK, so there's the background. Oh, and for the record, Jake's camp wouldn't comment. But here's what we heard really went down, according to eyewitnesses…
Jake was definitely at the restaurant Saturday night (he's a regular there) as was the blogger. Main discrepancy here? We're told by sources who were present that the blogger in question said, "Hey isn't that the guy who killed Heath Ledger?" prompting Jake to yell to the bouncers "get these guys the f--k out of here."
The instigator and his crew were then thrown out.
We originally read this blog post yesterday, where the site definitely had "killed" not "kissed" up until it was later changed. The post actually backs up this supposed kill claim by ranting in the item that if Jake was Ledger's friend, he probably would have been there for him in his low point.
Seriously can't say we blame Gyllenhaal's heated reaction. "Isn't that the guy who killed Heath Ledger?" Not a funny joke, dude. We wish punches were thrown.
As for this girl who was supposedly caught in the crossfire? Onlookers tell us "there were a bunch of girls" there but "no one was shoved or hurt."
Jake is currently in Montreal filming Source Code, which won't be affected by this nonincident. We hear filming has been going "great" up there before this.
PeractoVita: What a fucking asshole to throw Heath Ledger's death in Jake Gyllenhaal's face. http://bit.ly/a5PSzS (expand) Wish Jake had knocked the fucker out. 2 minutes ago
Gyllenhaal apparently got in the guys face, told him to f--ck off and got the dude escorted out of the club.
Appropriate way to handle it, IMO. It's scary - all actors want to do is make films to entertain us, and that's the thanks they get for it from the public, harassed by people with issues. It also looks like no women were hurt in the making of this little drama. I took a look at the guy's original "statements" the ravings of a lunatic. I can't believe anyone took him seriously, except that he might be a danger to the public.
Honestly? I think the drunkenstepfather blogger was out of line and probably very drunk. However, Jake getting on top of a bench and dancing in a restaurant is a bit much (if that is true). I can see why it would annoy someone. But that Heath "joke" is not funny. Jake did not kill Heath. Sadly, Heath killed Heath with his dependence on prescription pills. Yet at the same time, Jake was not there for Heath at his time of need. He wasn't (but he didn't kill Heath). He was too busy being up the ass of the Chin who apparently couldn't move on fast enough with another guy after she and Jake's nearly three years together.
I'm having a different blogger problem; when I hit "newest" to see the comments, it only gives me the next 200, so I have to keep hitting newest--now up to what, 6 or 7 times. It's a pain in the ass.
^^It's still not this jackass' place to judge someone for not being there - who knows what he's done/not done in his own life. I can't say if Jake was or wasn't there for Heath in his time of need. What we do know for certain is that the Olson twin didn't do much.
Also, if people want to dance on a bench, if it annoys someone, too bad. You don't go up to people like that, I'm sorry. If the mgmt has a problem with it, they can handle it.

Reeke never were together, it was three years of faking a relationship and looking fake.
drunkstepfather: If the Jake gyllenhaal shit was a publicity stunt for me I would have taken pics. Whether I said kissed or killed he shouldn't shove girls 1 minute ago from
Gyllenhaal apparently got in the guys face, told him to f--ck off and got the dude escorted out of the club. Only problem is in this he-said, he-said tale is that the blogger also claims his female guest was pushed about 10 times by Gyllenhaal before J.G.'s crew pulled him away.
Gyllenhaal's rep claims blogger's story is "libelous" and informs us his lawyers are taking "immediate action."

Please, you're giving DSF too much credit. He was just making a nasty remark to trash Jake further. In his original post he said "stop killing australians cuz you crush on them". I doubt he really thinks anyone would kill a person because they crush on them. No point in looking for deeper meaning into this guy's rant.
No one blames Jake for Heath's death, that's just crazy. But it isn't Heath's fault either for being dragged into shit that has nothing to do with him.
Arrrrgggggh, it still kills me that nobody with any common sense and only interested in covering their own asses was there for Heath, and a treasure is gone from the world.

IA.
As I've said, this incident will probably intensify the dislike towards Heath by some. I wish people would let the poor guy rest in peace.
Gyllenhaal's rep claims blogger's story is "libelous" and informs us his lawyers are taking "immediate action."
Wow, did Jake's camp ever take legal action against a blogger (or anyone, for that matter) before? This must have really got to them. I hope they sue the heck out of DSF.
We'll never know Heath's condition at the time - HW is full of drug users, but thankfully they didn't have people with no common sense around them when they OD'd. :(
As much as I like/ed Jake and Heath as actors and follow/ed them, I don't think they were as close friends like some think. Sure, friends, acqaintances, but Heath and Jake have/had their childhood friends, friends they were much closer to. That's the friends that needed to help Heath, but maybe they are drug users too and didn't see it as a problem or underestimated Heath's use that started to become a problem? Jake and Heath obviously avoideded being seen togther in public when they met, so I see Jake's silence as Jake continuing to keep the connection with Heath private. I think some people make more out of it as it actually is.
Lawyers Letter in - They claim everything I witnessed and experienced is a lie and they are going to sue me for defamation - It is not lies 2 minutes ago

I like blaming best friends of ppl who die of drug overdoses for not being there to get then help 28 minutes ago
As I've said, this incident will probably intensify the dislike towards Heath by some
Not by any sane person. Sure, some babblers have always hated Heath and always will, but nobody really gives a flying fuck what they think of Heath anyway.
I like blaming best friends of ppl who die of drug overdoses for not being there to get then help
Best friend? C'mon! Thinking Jake was his best friend, he wants to obviously make Jake feel guilty. But the more he talks, the less seriously people will take him. Man, he really dislikes Jake!
"Yet at the same time, Jake was not there for Heath at his time of need."
Has it ever been proven Heath was drug addicted? If Heath was drug addicted, which I do not believe, if Matilda was not incentive enough for Heath to get help, then no one including Jake could have. Heath had parents, siblings and his Aussie posse who seemed to come out of the woodwork after his death to sing his praises. Where were those people in Heath's life? Before you can ask why didn't Jake help Heath, you need to ask why didn't the others who were even closer to Heath help him.
That being said, I think Heath's OD was an accident.
Did Jake Gyllenhaal roughhouse with a woman this weekend?
No, we don't mean in the fun way, babes. There's a report going around that the Prince of Persia star got into a little altercation up in Montreal over the weekend.
And we're here to sort things out for you...
The alleged incident supposedly went down Saturday night at restaurant Garde-Manger.
Apparently Gyllenhaal was dancing on the bench of his table with a group of pals, ticking off a blogger from DrunkenStepfather a few feet away who found the show to be quite egocentric.
Said blogger then went up to Jake's table, turned to a girl there and goes (according the blogger himself): "Hey isn't that the guy who kissed Heath Ledger?"
Gyllenhaal apparently got in the guys face, told him to f--ck off and got the dude escorted out of the club. Only problem is in this he-said, he-said tale is that the blogger also claims his female guest was pushed about 10 times by Gyllenhaal before J.G.'s crew pulled him away.
Gyllenhaal's rep claims blogger's story is "libelous" and informs us his lawyers are taking "immediate action."
And for more info on what really went down, here's what we've learned:
Jake was definitely at the restaurant Saturday night (he's a regular there) as was the blogger. Main discrepancy here? We're told by sources who were present that the blogger in question said, "Hey isn't that the guy who killed Heath Ledger?" prompting Jake to yell to the bouncers "get these guys out of my face."
The instigator and his crew were then thrown out.
We originally read this blog post yesterday, where the site definitely had "killed" not "kissed" up until it was later changed. The post actually backs up this supposed kill claim by ranting in the item that if Jake was Ledger's friend, he probably would have been there for him in his low point.
Seriously can't say we blame Gyllenhaal's heated reaction. "Isn't that the guy who killed Heath Ledger?" Not a funny joke, dude. We wish punches were thrown.
As for this girl who was supposedly caught in the crossfire? Onlookers tell us "there were a bunch of girls" there but "no one was shoved or hurt."
Jake is currently in Montreal filming Source Code, which won't be affected by this nonincident. We hear filming has been going "great" up there before this.
I worked with Jake up in Calgary. He was the epitome of class, well-mannered, on time, friendly, and generous. Gossip is gossip, and speaks so much more about the person spreading it than the subject themselves.
I hate to say it and I'll probably get hell for it but I'm starting to wonder if this incident is PR generated somehow. I know it sounds crazy but it's making Jake look like one tough mean straight motherfucker, almost to the point of being the traditional macho man who wouldn't think twice about shoving the instigator's woman in a bar fight. He's not only standing up for his deceased friend Heath but he's at a restaurant with a bunch of girls - notice that the story does not mention any guys in his group. Okay so maybe the "dancing on top of a bench" sounds a little gay but the bulk of it makes Jake sound like a testosterone-fueled horndog fighting-for-his-honor He-Man out on a Saturday night with his women. Maybe it's a coincidence that this incident is right before POP? Idk. If it was truly a random encounter I don't doubt that PR will use it to enforce the Jake straight image. This happening now is just too good a timing, IMO.
Disney?! POTC, Johnny Depp...how many kids does he have with that woman he's not married to? And btw I'm not saying that the "shoving woman" is supposed to be true or be good PR true or not. I'm saying that the overall story that Jake got into a bar "fight" with a guy defending his and Heath's honor, and was with a gaggle of women is the main focus. You have to admit that the whole thing whether real or not, sheds a different image perception of Jake. Maybe not so much to us, but to the general public - yes. Definitely.

«Oldest ‹Older 2001 – 2200 of 2896 Newer› Newest»For God's sake, Jake would never laugh about something like that!
No one would.
LoL I didn't have to read any further after the "Jake making out with girl" part to know the story is bogus. DSF = Desperate Stupid Fake
Honestly I think DSF has some serious inner turmoil. He would definitely get my vote for "most likely to injure somebody for no apparent reason."
It sounds like he's saying he was jealous of the attention that another man was getting (instead of him). And to top it off, it was a man who has in some ways failed to be as ferociously anti-gay as DSF wants men to be. Therefore he attacked him.
Did you see Jake's face when Nate asked him a respectful question about Heath? You really think he's capable of laughing at Heath's expense with someone he doesn't even know? Your opinion of him must be really low then.
Idk what's worse, discussing this DSF loser or Witheredpoon's new hire.
Jake is not an insensitive asshole.
Well, I love Jake and will always stand by my man, but as for whether he is insensitive on some topics that concern me, THAT is a whole nother conversation. :D
I wonder what health plans the CAA bearding department offers and how long you have to wait before you can enroll in the 401K. Would it be rude to ask during my first interview?
I interpret that to mean that at first, Jake laughed with him.
Please. If any of that conversation took place (which is in doubt), no way Jake laughed with that asshole. Look what happened when Nate brought up Heath's name in a polite and sensitive way - Jake totally froze. Think what you want about Jake and Heath, but there's no way he takes Heath's death or any so-called "jokes" about it lightly.
when Nate asked him a respectful question about Heath
Well, it is a whole different setting. In an interview you're prepared for serious questions.
When somebody walks up to you unexpectedly in public you're just wanting to keep it light, and you may laugh along with them about something just to be friendly before you've processed or thought about what they've said.
I didn't have to read any further after the "Jake making out with girl" part to know the story is bogus
ITA. Now if DSF had known to say they were canoodling I'd have fallen for it hook line and sinker! :D
So Jake made out with a fat girl (but no pictures!!), laughed at Heath's death with some stranger, shoved a girl (who won't press charges!!), and was drugged up? All VERY likely. Uh huh.
No way.
So Jake made out with a fat girl (but no pictures!!), laughed at Heath's death with some stranger, shoved a girl (who won't press charges!!), and was drugged up? All VERY likely. Uh huh.
Exactly! I feel sorry for anyone who believes this clown, especially a "fan" of Jake.
Someone asked a while back about Just Jared's comment rating system and that it wasn't working. FYI I just realized, you have to make a comment, then you can rate the others (but you can't rate your own or vote more than once).
when Nate brought up Heath's name in a polite and sensitive way
yes, other interesting topic: Even though Nate was very cute, I thought he was beyond the edge of professionalism in that interview, completely ignoring whatsername while cruising Jake.
he changed his story already, apparently now DSF said "Hey isn’t that the guy who kissed Heath Ledger…." sounds like a lot of tosh to me. and if Jake really did shove and pushed a girl in a public place the news would be anywhere right now, while DSF is the only guy talking about it
I'm guessing I'm the fan who you think may "believe" what DSF is saying, so just for the record, I don't. :)
Just sayin, a person can laugh with another person in a "hello" way (and a "you are going to get out of my personal space in 45 seconds or else" way) that has nothing to do with the content of a conversation that has not yet been processed. If there turns out to be a video of Jake laughing with this guy I would not interepret it as laughing about Heath's death.
Now the fat chicks were his groupies and he was making out with one of them. He supposedly laughe first then went nuts:
@robynsweeney isn't that the guy who killed heath ledger to one of his groupies he was making out with-She laughed-He did too but went nuts
about 1 hours ago via TweetDeck in reply to robynsweeney
"Hey isn’t that the guy who kissed Heath Ledger"
WOW. Interesting ... kissed versus killed ...
LOL, DSF is making an ass of himself. Cut your loses and let it go.
"If there turns out to be a video"
Instead let me say "in a bizarre other and non-existent world where there was a video"
Some of you were ready to believe that Jerk up until he mentioned Jake making out with a girl. Maybe that was the only true thing the guy witnessed. But to be fair to this immature jerk a fat girl would be someone who weighed 100lbs that he tried to hit on but was turned down. And making out, could be a kiss on the cheek for this guy since apparently he needs to embellish to get attention from anyone.
WOW. Interesting ... kissed versus killed ...
I bet he said fucked. Like someone said he was probably angered that a rumored gay guy had more female attention than he. I bet most or much of his story is not how it really happened. If anything of it happened at all.
I agree he's making an ass of himself, but to be honest I'm not quite ready to let it go. He kind of fits the space of danger due to homophobia that concerns me. I'm interested to see this as an example of what sets people off to commit gay-bashing.
For that matter I'm not completely convinced Jake is out of danger, whether from this guy or somebody else we've never heard of.
DSF probably went up to Jake, said something moronic, got thrown out, made an ass of himself and swore revenge :D
Yeah, the version of the story that we heard first (which was DSF's doctored up version) sounded like he had gone to the restaurant with a date.
But when the original version surfaced it sounded more like he happened to be hitting up on a girl at a bar.
I'll go back and double check myself on that impression - not swearing to it. :)
by "he" I mean DSF, not Jake.
With thanks to 11:50 am, if it's for real, this is what appears to be the original and more explicitly homophobic and aggressive version before DSF doctored it up to make himself out to be the victim
"stop killing australians cuz you crush on them" lol, this guy is deluded, it's almost starting to be funny
LOL
Uh that makes no sense, shouldn't Jake be the one dead if he's crushing on Heath? Wow this guy gives Jake alot of power over Heath. DSF sounds very anti american, homophobic, sexist. He's going to break Jake, hmm, I think this guy is obsessed with Jake and he shouldn't be taken as a joke. Yes he's delusional but thats what makes him dangerous to Jake. DSF has a personal vendetta aganist Mr. Gyllenhaal. Hey is there a place to alert the owners to Twitter, I don't have an account but they should be alerted.
It's also sad that Drunken Stepfather decided to bully Jake by saying "stop killing Australians cuz you crush on them". Again, men having feelings for each other is something to make fun of and use against them. Just like Renner and Mackie's hug got so much comment they'll probably never be seen together again in the same room. Jake making Heath a no-go subject gives gossipwhores more ammunition, don't you think. Though I don't know if pushing the story ("well, we are in love, he's so hot), the way Ewan McGreggor does, is better or worse. Normalization of same-sex affection/love is crucial to acceptance of gay marriage, but if mancrushes are still something to be embarassed about, we have a long way to go.
"Normalization of same-sex affection/love is crucial to acceptance of gay marriage"
Yes. :)
"Hey is there a place to alert the owners to Twitter, I don't have an account but they should be alerted."
Yeah, I was wondering that. Hopefully Jake's "people" have a handle on it too.
[in the interest of good taste I will not add "a better handle than they had on Reeke."]
I stil think that the guy on that restaurant was actually Tobey
"I stil think that the guy on that restaurant was actually Tobey"
lol, still in character from "Brothers"? :P
LOL
Jake and Heath have been the subject of death threats and stalking before, i'm sure his legal team is on this.
Jake making Heath a no-go subject gives gossipwhores more ammunition, don't you think.
True. It opens him up to all kinds of speculation – he doesn’t give a crap, he’s disrespectful, he hates/doesn’t like Heath, he cares way too much, he liked Heath a lot more than he should have, they had a falling out, their friendship was just PR bs, they had an affair, and so on. Not really beneficial tongue-wagging for either Jake or Heath’s memory.
Jake and Heath have been the subject of death threats and stalking before, i'm sure his legal team is on this.
OMG! I didn't know that. I hope his PR understand that we are just having fun in this blog and we are not a danger to celebrities...
Relax, deep breaths ...
Guys, see you all in prison. The one and only WFT2 get together.

Why Coming Out Matters
So, James Randi just came out, and it's great to see the good reception. Still, I've seen a few people who have said something to the effect of, "Hey, that's great, but I really don't care about other people's sexuality, and I wish we lived in a world where it didn't matter."
And you know? That pisses me off.
I understand much of the sentiment behind these kinds of statements--many people are trying to express a wish that all of us can be considered equals, and will not be divided and conquered based on inconsequentials.
But really, the heterosexism inherent in these views is mindboggling. It presumes that if someone comes out, it's a declaration of their private sexual practices. That by having the courage to be open about how love and relationships work in your world, you're inviting people into your bedroom to check out your collection of sex toys or something. Which is bullshit.
The guy who has a picture of his wife and kids on his desk is telling you about his sexuality just as much as a guy who brings his husband to the office Christmas party. Which is to say: Not much. Likewise, there's nothing inherently lewd about a lesbian couple holding hands and smooching in a park when they're surrounded by het couples doing the same thing.
Heterosexuality is celebrated and lauded in mediated cultures around the world, and especially so in the US. Things that are, if you look at them in isolation, quite heavily sexualized are generally ignored and assumed to be normal so long as they're coded straight. We have Victoria's Secret ads on primetime, and no-one bats an eye. But John Barrowman getting his Captain Jack on? Cable only, pls. That's porn, doncha know!!
What it really comes down to is this: When the het guys who run things see something het-coded (often represented by a barely dressed, undernourished 20-year-old), the mental images they get are things they understand and enjoy. When they see something that's gay-coded--even if it's in no way overtly sexual at all--the mental images they get scare the living crap out of them. OMG NEKKID PENISES. TOGETHER. IN THE SAME ROOM. Uh, dude? Your co-worker just told you he got engaged to his boyfriend. Get over yourself. (And truthfully, sweetheart? Guys who are perfectly confident in their heterosexuality don't have visceral reactions--of any kind--to such mental images. If seeing your co-worker kiss his husband causes your brain to explode, maybe you ought to give some serious thought to why you have such a strong reaction.)
Generally speaking, Americans are fucked up about sexuality anyway (part of our lovely cultural bulimia), but this particular freakout never fails to irk me, because it's so bloody ignorant, and always comes from someone who claims to be hugely liberal and "open-minded" and blah blah blah.
Yes, of course it will be a great day when we live in a culture in which no-one bats an eye about the gender of other people's partners. But people shouldn't have to feel like they can't talk about those things because their "sexuality" is supposedy more private and personal than that of people who exclusively date the opposite sex.
OMG! I didn't know that. I hope his PR understand that we are just having fun in this blog and we are not a danger to celebrities..."
I think they are aware of this blog and its no threat to Jake and his safety. This guy went looking for trouble and he happened upon Jake. Its all documented in his twtitter account. He can delete all wants but the delete button is temporary on the internet. The guy is stupid to alert people to his plan.
So, James Randi just came out, and it's great to see the good reception.
James Randi (born August 7, 1928) (stage name The Amazing Randi) is a Canadian American stage magician and scientific skeptic best known as a challenger of paranormal claims and pseudoscience. Randi is the founder of the James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF). Randi began his career as a magician, but when he retired at age 60, he switched to investigating paranormal, occult, and supernatural claims, which he collectively calls "woo-woo."
During an interview in March 2010, Randi publicly announced for the first time that he was gay. Randi followed up the interview with a blog post confirming the announcement.
"I stil think that the guy on that restaurant was actually Tobey"
Or Topher Grace!
Just like Renner and Mackie's hug
Whut? *runs to google it*
Good for Mr. Randi.
Guys, see you all in prison. The one and only WFT2 get together.
Do you think Jake will visit us?
I wonder if DSF will blame Jake for another Canadian guy "turning" gay.
So, James Randi just came out
James Randi (born August 7, 1928)

Do you think Jake will visit us?

March 20 - Out With Atticus In Montreal
IHJ
Are you a boy with nice abs?
Yes. Btw do they allow bars of soap in the visiting room?
OMG poor Atticus
LMAO
Well we all know what Atticus was doing during those 2 pics of solitary Jake whistling and waiting.
That's gotta be the first time anyone papped Atticus taking a poop.
It's funny how all dogs no matter what breed or size, get that same look on their face when they're pooping in public.
This is strange, was Atti not on a leash? IDC how well-trained a dog is, I would never let it out without a leash.
I'm sorry but I just gotta ask, why is it that every man that gets with Reese immediately grows a beard? So that they have an excuse to not go there with her or is it just to say to the rest of the world, "yes I am a beard".
I know Reese is not with Jake anymore but she is still playing the game against Jake now but its backfiring if the comments are 2 different boards are any indication.
A couple months ago somewhere around Denver (IIRC) a police dog saw a deer and he jumped out of the police car and started chasing it (lol). The cop/handler called to him and ran after them but couldn't keep up and lost them. There were helicopters searching for him, it was serious because they're worth a lot of money and they didn't want the dog to hurt anyone. Anyway after a few hours he was found unharmed. Idk if he had to take a refresher training course lol, probably. But when it comes down to it, this was a highly professionally skilled working dog with the most intensive training ever, and he still had the instinct to do what he wanted to do and disregard commands. Tbh it really bothers me to see Atticus on a street where there's obviously traffic, and he doesn't have a leash on.
For Jake and Atticus:
Months of training, two years of following commands in the most stressful of situations — it all went out the window when Duke saw the deer.
And Duke went out the car door.
Duke, one of nine trained patrol dogs used by Denver police, was with his handler outside his Conifer home when the German shepherd spotted the deer and made a break for it. His handler, a Denver officer whom the department declined to identify, ran after Duke but couldn't catch him.
"He is a dog. He's not a human like you and me, and there's no way to predict everything he's going to do," Murray said.
Duke goes AWOL
Did he catch the deer?
Where did I put that leash?
Daddy I prefer if you buy me a new leash. I don't want the one that you and your hangout buddies been playing with.
Baby your ass looks real gooooood there. I'm gonna put your pic on the bottom of my food bowl so I can lick it after every meal. *salivates*
Baby your ass looks real gooooood there.
DUH!
That's gotta be the first time anyone papped Atticus taking a poop.
I look great in every position and situation!
Atticus said ...
I look great in every position and situation!
I do, too - now that I've dumped the beard!
Guys, see you all in prison. The one and only WFT2 get together.
Do you think Jake will visit us?
Sure hope it's conjugal.
Tbh it really bothers me to see Atticus on a street where there's obviously traffic, and he doesn't have a leash on.
Me, too. That's NOT a smart thing to do with any dog. I doubt Jake has used very good dog trainers or knows a lot about dogs because I've seen pics of Atticus being walked on retractable leashes. These leashes can snap, the dog can run out suddenly catching an owner unaware and into traffic (a friend's terrier was killed this way). or lunge at a passing dog. The long leash can encircle an owner's legs pulling them over, or leave a burn. In my city someone almost lost a finger because they got it entangled in a Flexi lead when the dog suddenly pulled toward a squirrel. These types of leashes are also bad for training. One of the worst things about the flexi is that it doesn't allow communication - good or bad - to "The Other End of the Leash". A properly leash trained dog can be directed with two fingers of the (usually) left hand and some voice commands. A leash is not supposed to be a REEL, which is (pun intended) what the flexi is. Flexi leashes have their place, but usually it is not where I see people using them.
11:27, I use a Flexi leash on my dog only when we go to the park so he can run a little ahead of me, is that okay? I like a regular leash when we go walking in the neighborhood, like you said, more control. When we walk to the park with the Flexi I make sure to hold down the button or lock it and keep him close. One time before I learned to do this he made a sharp right turn and went out in the street, I was like whoa! But IA Atticus should be on a leash. Animals are animals and you never know what they or another one will do.
Sure hope it's conjugal.
You and me both!
DSF - I know we should ignore that piece of shit, but it's sad they started trashing Heath there too. So unnecessary to drag him into this shit. :(

^^I think PoP will turn out to be like Mummy I. Like most seemed to predict months ago.
1:26 AM, sounds as though you're using the Flexi the way it's meant to be. The purpose of a retractable is to allow urban dogs extra running and sniffing leeway in a park. But my dog trainer is adament that it should be used only in a wide-open park. If it's a crowded urban greenspace full of moms and tots, a Flexi is a bad idea. You are also right to keep your boy close (on a short lead) when you are walking to the park. You are a good dog owner. :)
Unfortunately, a lot of busy people use a Flexi in lieu of a proper walk. As a general rule of thumb, an urban dog should be walked at least 45 min 2x day on a fixed-length leash, and taken to a free-run area (large park, shore, hills) for off-leash play on the weekend. If that's not possible, a dog run where he/she can mix freely and sniff butts galore. I hope Atticus is getting himself some of that.
PoP Review.."but the characters are tragically one-note..."
Did any actor other than Johnny Depp get a career boost from those PotC films? In Orlando Bloom's case, they seemed to squash it.
The guy is kidding no? The characters was one note in Pirate too. They are in all blockbusters.
Maggie Gyllenhaal and her adorable 3-year-old daughter Ramona were spotted playing at Prospect Park in Brooklyn, New York on Saturday (March 20). The mother-daughter duo enjoyed the sunshine and warm weather as they played outside. What a difference a few weeks makes! We just saw the pair bundled up on the streets of Brooklyn.

PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE SANDS OF TIME ★ ★ 1/2
Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time is a grand, sexy epic missing a soul. There are beautifully choreographed scenes and more than a few fun moments, but the characters are tragically one-note and the story collapses under the weight of its own convolution. The obvious goal by Disney and producer Jerry Bruckheimer is to recreate the box office magic of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise. I’m not convinced it’s going to work. The first Pirates was a good movie, and this is just an ok one. But then again, people came in droves to see Pirates three and four, which were terrible. To sum it up, Prince of Persia is not as bad as the Pirates sequals, but it is not as good as the first one.

Prince of Persia Screening Reaction @ ShoWest 2010
This week I attended the ShoWest Convention in Las Vegas for the screening of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. I admit I was a bit nervous at first, being that the movie was based on a video game I admired.
The film does a great job of capturing the look and feel of the video game series. There are a lot of little homages to actual game play that I think will have many fans smiling in the movie theaters. The script expands on the original story of the first game and adds new characters, but it doesn’t veer far from the source. Some parts run long and feel dragged out, but I was told this is not the finished version of the film.
Jake Gyllenhaal does a great job as The Prince, I was so glad he never broke his accent like Taylor Kitsch as Gambit in X-MEN ORIGINS Wolverine. Gemma Arterton is smokin hot as Princess Tamina, but it is Alfred Molina who really steals the show as the slave turned Ostrich race mogul. I felt Ben Kingsley was drastically underused, being that he’s such an incredible actor and an important character.
I think the film’s weakest point, other than being too long, are the obvious dumb character choices that drags the film further. I doubt there are any last minute changes that can make this film better, other than shortening some scenes. The film wasn’t horrible, but it wasn’t great either. I enjoyed it and was happy how the property was treated, it could have been worse, and it is no doubt in my mind that there will be sequels.

WHAT?!

Maggie Gyllenhaal and her adorable 3-year-old daughter Ramona were spotted playing at Prospect Park in Brooklyn, New York on Saturday (March 20). The mother-daughter duo enjoyed the sunshine and warm weather as they played outside. What a difference a few weeks makes! We just saw the pair bundled up on the streets of Brooklyn.

Ramona is a cutie. And Maggie looks pretty here. Maggie seems to be a good mom. :)
I wonder why we didn't see pics of Michelle and Matilda for months? There were sightings of Michelle alone in Brooklyn a couple times sans the kid.

I think Maggie is taking her roles more seriously than Jake and prepares much better. Jake's still very solid, but Maggie is the better actor.
I knew it!
Wow, if Nerd soceity enjoyed the movie, thats pretty good.

'There are two references to traps in the film, I wish I could tell you more, but I have to wait till Disney gives me the all clear to review the film.'
6:28, What's the source of that review? Who reviewed it?
See 3:38 AM link.
Michael Black and John Morgan, a gay British couple, wanted to spend a lovely Friday night at the Swiss Bed & Breakfast in Maidenhead, about 30 miles northwest of London, but when they arrived owner Susanne Wilkinson refused to rent them their room. Because, eww, two dudes sharing a bed?
Wilkinson, whose B&B kindly offers a Continental breakfast and "TV with Freeview + DVD player" in each bedroom, tells a reporter, "They gave me no prior warning and I couldn't offer them another room as I was fully booked. I don't see why I should change my mind and my beliefs I've held for years just because the government should force it on me. I am not a hotel, I am a guest house and this is a private house."
She should change her mind because she just violated Britain's Equality Act 2006, which forbids businesses from discriminating based on sexual orientation, and the two men reported her to the police, that's why.
Queerty
^^ :(
Kind of sad that the best they can up with re Jake in POP is that he did not break his accent. I guess he will not be the new Johnny Depp.
I think not even Johnny Depp could do much more with lame PoP script.
PoP is a lame romance, advanture movie. Been there, done that. But Jake wants more fame and money, so...
Good thing he continues to do smaller, but demanding films like LAOD (which got mostly positive feedback so far and Anne is even getting some Oscar buzz).
He has to, no one wants to be the next Brendan Fraser.
Been there, done that.
The Mummy
With (back in the day) handsome Fraser and (still) beautiful Rachel Weisz.
He has to, no one wants to be the next Brendan Fraser.
Definitely not.
Can't wait for Damn Yankees! :)

Sorry Jake and Jerry, but The Mummy sounds more interesting than PoP.

Anne Hathaway has been receiving letters from her ex, Raffaello Follieri, who is currently in jail, and according to a source, Hathaway is afraid to write back to tell Follieri to leave her alone, as "Anne fears anything she says to him will lead to a fresh avalanche of mail. The letters are not only torturing Anne, they are putting pressure on her new relationship." [DailyExpress]
Downfront2 – This famous female celebrity has a new movie coming out where she plays the romantic lead. If the movie does well it could lead to more romantic roles. She has been having problems getting romantic comedies because she doesn’t have any chemistry with men. In the next few weeks look for her to be photographed in the company of men. Her poor girlfriend is going to have to lay low.
Blind Gossip
That poor little girl saw Reese Witherspoon holding hands with a grow-man wearing flip-flops with long pants, and figured it was Jakey Poo. So she ran over to hand Jakey a pink umbrella, because she knows he loves nothing more than to prance around his backyard with a ruffle parasol in his hand (who doesn't?). The little girl felt a wave of disappointment hit her when she got up close and realized it wasn't Jakey. It's Reese's new piece Jim Toth! DAMN JIM for tricking that little girl by wearing man flops with pants.
.....
Hopefully, Reese has finally found someone that can blow into her hot box without giggling. Although, I do spy a few glitter flakes wafting off of Jim. It's probably nothing. Reese just likes her men the same way she likes her tea: WITH EXTRA HONAAAY!
Reese and Not-Jake Go Public

Oh, Michael K. :)
German shepherd spotted the deer and made a break for it.
LOL can you imagine what the deer was thinking running for his life with a German Shepherd and a cop with a gun behind him?!
4:05 am, unbelievable! Lol I'm finally doing something right! Yeah with the Flexis I noticed it could be dangerous in a neighborhood/street setting if he gets too far ahead because a car could be backing out of a driveway or he could step out into the street before I'm there to check if there's a car coming so I keep him reeled in. The park has a playground that we walk by and kids always run up to pet him and he's really good with them. He gets 5-7 kids surrounding him touching and petting all his different parts at the same time and he stands there like Miss America basking in all the attention and adoration. It's pathetic. I practically have to drag him away lol. Anyway he has a big yard and we play fetch every day and in the house I throw his treats across the room so he has to run for them lol. I take him on walks and to the park so he can see and smell different things. Sooo how can I make this comment related to Jake...... hmmm how about both our dogs are male, so I'm not too OT?! Sorry, I could talk about my dog all day!
Oops sorry double post. Anyone else having trouble with blogger not posting your comment, and when you repost it it decides to show up and shows up twice?! Murphy's Law.
If this catches on, half of Hollywood's females will fall into poverty. Casting for their fourth Pirates of the Caribbean, Disney specifies that fake breasts are not permitted, and actresses will be subjected to pre-shoot jiggle tests to check.
This, from the New York Post, sounds like the beginning of a porno:
The filmmakers sent out a casting call last week seeking "beautiful female fit models. Must be 5ft7in-5ft8in, size 4 or 6, no bigger or smaller. Age 18-25. Must have a lean dancer body. Must have real breasts. Do not submit if you have implants."
And they warn that there'll be a "show and tell" day.
To make sure LA talent scouts don't get caught in a "booby trap," potential lassies will have to undergo a Hollywood-style jiggle-your-jugs test and jog for judges. If there's nothing moving from the waist up, they're saying, it's a dead giveaway that you're not all flesh and bones—and you're out.
How is that not sexual harassment? On the other hand: Is there any way to prove veracity of breasts without sexually harassing? In case Disney meets any ambiguous jiggle tests, here are a few other ways I have thought of to test for veracity of breasts:
* Force actresses to answer, "Have you ever met Hugh Hefner?"
* Compare and contrast lie detector result for "Are your breasts real?" with "Are you a natural blonde?"
* Introduce the actresses to Donald Trump. Anyone he is attracted to can be eliminated prima facie.
* You'll have to sign an NDA once you read this, but: Dr. 90210: Silicone Victims Unit
All of this raises a rather perplexing question. Because America loves fake boobs. Entire careers have revolved around fake boobs. So why would Disney ban them from Pirates? First, there's this:
"In the last movie, there were enhanced breasts to give that 18th-century whorish look, and men were pretty well padded too, and no one worried," a former casting agent said. "But times are changing, and the audience can spot false breasts."
Also, there is going to be lots of swimming and diving in this movie, and remember the Road Rules lady who bellyflopped and popped her implant? Do not try Baywatch at home, ladies. [NYPost]

You gotta love HW. They're worried about people spotting fake boobs - but have no problem promoting fake relationships and bearding, which they apparently think no one can spot, lol.
Dear Ted:
My partner and I have 3 rescue dogs and have supported a local organization! Please, please answer my questions! I love your column and follow it every day! Here's what I'm wondering. As it concerns stars and their sexuality, I see three categories: 1) Celebrities who are out and proud, i.e. Neil Patrick Harris, Lance Bass, etc. 2) Celebrities who are out, but don't publicly proclaim it to the press, and can be discovered by any amateur Google-er, and 3) Celebrities who are deep in the closet and often participate in the "bearding program." Are most of the Blind Vices in category 3? For instance, if Toothy Tile (and most of the gay or bisexual Blind Vicers) came out, would you go back and tell us that said actor was Toothy Tile all along? Also, specifically about Parrish Maguire, Jackie Bouffant, and Crescent Kumquat—what age bracket do they fall into? 20s, 30s, 40s? Thank you so much Ted, and I hope you answer my questions!! Brian
—Brian
Dear Categories:
Right-o, most of the BVs are from the deep in the closet variety. As for the BVs you named—they definitely cover a couple of the age groups you named, and then some.
*cough* It looks like Atticus wrote this one:

Kate and Leo will start a real-life relaysh about the same time Lainey and I do—which, no offense to the blogger babe, isn't happening anytime soon.
Anyone else having trouble with blogger not posting your comment
Yes, sometimes there is a long delay but the post always appears.
Dear Ted:
"So why should it be any different for gays playing straight?" Because when people watch their fave actor perform they want to know there is a chance they could snag the guy as fantastic as that sounds. If the guy is 100 percent gay, then there is no chance in hell. So there is no point in fantasizing, or for that matter, in watching the film.
—Kit
Dear Fantasy Land:
Come on Kit, if it's all about fantasizing then turning a dude straight shouldn't be that far of a stretch from assuming Brad Pitt would ditch Angie to play house-hubby in Ohio.
So why should it be any different for gays playing straight?" Because when people watch their fave actor perform they want to know there is a chance they could snag the guy as fantastic as that sounds.
I hate to read this, because it is so not true for most people. It may be true for kids, but for the vast majority of people, it isn't. It doesn't matter the sexuality of the actor, it's the role you enjoy, the character. Whether the guy or girl is gay or straight, you're never gonna have him anyway, so it makes no difference. For me, it's the characters I fall for, not the player.
the audience can spot false breasts
No, the audience can spot bad breast augmentations done by lousy, greedy doctors. I had a boob job done a few years ago. I spent almost a year researching the different processes, implants, surgery facilities to see which ones were accredited (believe it or not very few are), and most important the surgeons and their education, AMA and Board licensing, experience, I talked with their patients, I interviewed the surgeons about their worst cases and results because of course everyone will want to only talk about and show you pics of their best examples. I chose one of the best ones around, a surgeon so good that he's the one who fixes the botched jobs done by others. Anyway he cost twice as much as the other doctors but he was worth it. My boobs look and move and feel totally natural..I even dated a doctor and he couldn't tell, he had no idea. No one can tell. So the assumption that all boob jobs look fake is not true. It's all about the expertise and artistry of the surgeon, and how much time and research, and smart choices the patient makes. Sorry for the rant.
No, American does not love fake boobs. I think America would prefer real boobs. Breasts are beautiful in all of their variations, small can be as beautiful and delicate, and big can be too much of a good thing. When they look phoney, it's not attractive, plus it reduces women to nothing but their breasts.
Did Jake Gyllenhaal roughhouse with a woman this weekend?
No, we don't mean in the fun way, babes. There's a report going around that the Prince of Persia star got into a little altercation up in Montreal over the weekend.
And we're here to sort things out for you...
The alleged incident supposedly went down Saturday night at restaurant Garde-Manger.
Apparently Gyllenhaal was dancing on the bench of his table with a group of pals, ticking off a blogger from DrunkenStepfather a few feet away who found the show to be quite egocentric.
Said blogger then went up to Jake's table, turned to a girl there and goes (according the blogger himself): "Hey isn't that the guy who kissed Heath Ledger?"
Gyllenhaal apparently got in the guys face, told him to f--ck off and got the dude escorted out of the club. Only problem is in this he-said, he-said tale is that the blogger also claims his female guest was pushed about 10 times by Gyllenhaal before J.G.'s crew pulled him away.
OK, so there's the background. Oh, and for the record, Jake's camp wouldn't comment. But here's what we heard really went down, according to eyewitnesses…
Jake was definitely at the restaurant Saturday night (he's a regular there) as was the blogger. Main discrepancy here? We're told by sources who were present that the blogger in question said, "Hey isn't that the guy who killed Heath Ledger?" prompting Jake to yell to the bouncers "get these guys the f--k out of here."
The instigator and his crew were then thrown out.
We originally read this blog post yesterday, where the site definitely had "killed" not "kissed" up until it was later changed. The post actually backs up this supposed kill claim by ranting in the item that if Jake was Ledger's friend, he probably would have been there for him in his low point.
Seriously can't say we blame Gyllenhaal's heated reaction. "Isn't that the guy who killed Heath Ledger?" Not a funny joke, dude. We wish punches were thrown.
As for this girl who was supposedly caught in the crossfire? Onlookers tell us "there were a bunch of girls" there but "no one was shoved or hurt."
Jake is currently in Montreal filming Source Code, which won't be affected by this nonincident. We hear filming has been going "great" up there before this.

Appropriate way to handle it, IMO. It's scary - all actors want to do is make films to entertain us, and that's the thanks they get for it from the public, harassed by people with issues. It also looks like no women were hurt in the making of this little drama. I took a look at the guy's original "statements" the ravings of a lunatic. I can't believe anyone took him seriously, except that he might be a danger to the public.
Honestly? I think the drunkenstepfather blogger was out of line and probably very drunk. However, Jake getting on top of a bench and dancing in a restaurant is a bit much (if that is true). I can see why it would annoy someone. But that Heath "joke" is not funny. Jake did not kill Heath. Sadly, Heath killed Heath with his dependence on prescription pills. Yet at the same time, Jake was not there for Heath at his time of need. He wasn't (but he didn't kill Heath). He was too busy being up the ass of the Chin who apparently couldn't move on fast enough with another guy after she and Jake's nearly three years together.
I'm having a different blogger problem; when I hit "newest" to see the comments, it only gives me the next 200, so I have to keep hitting newest--now up to what, 6 or 7 times. It's a pain in the ass.
5:45 PM, babbler, what are you talking about?
^^It's still not this jackass' place to judge someone for not being there - who knows what he's done/not done in his own life. I can't say if Jake was or wasn't there for Heath in his time of need. What we do know for certain is that the Olson twin didn't do much.
Also, if people want to dance on a bench, if it annoys someone, too bad. You don't go up to people like that, I'm sorry. If the mgmt has a problem with it, they can handle it.

Reeke never were together, it was three years of faking a relationship and looking fake.

Please, you're giving DSF too much credit. He was just making a nasty remark to trash Jake further. In his original post he said "stop killing australians cuz you crush on them". I doubt he really thinks anyone would kill a person because they crush on them. No point in looking for deeper meaning into this guy's rant.
No one blames Jake for Heath's death, that's just crazy. But it isn't Heath's fault either for being dragged into shit that has nothing to do with him.

I don't think Jake was there for Heath at his low point--he was all over the Chin at that time
Jake's friendship with Heath has nothing to do with Jake's bearding with Reese Witherspoon.
Stupid DSF, I'd like to kick his ass for making that idiotic "joke" and causing so much fuss.
I hope this embarrassing bs will be forgotten soon.
We'll never know Heath's condition at the time - HW is full of drug users, but thankfully they didn't have people with no common sense around them when they OD'd. :(
You still call 911 immediately, no matter what.
This must have really got to them.
Of course! He doesn't want someone accusing him of hitting women. Think about his reputation as an actor.

^^Especially DSF.
As much as I like/ed Jake and Heath as actors and follow/ed them, I don't think they were as close friends like some think. Sure, friends, acqaintances, but Heath and Jake have/had their childhood friends, friends they were much closer to. That's the friends that needed to help Heath, but maybe they are drug users too and didn't see it as a problem or underestimated Heath's use that started to become a problem?
Jake and Heath obviously avoideded being seen togther in public when they met, so I see Jake's silence as Jake continuing to keep the connection with Heath private. I think some people make more out of it as it actually is.
It's time to move on.
You still call 911 immediately
Bullshit. You're supposed to call Mary Kate Olsen first and ask her for medical advice.

I think it is just some idiot having fun online, from his mom's basement. But I was surprised Ted picked up on it.
wouldn't
"Yet at the same time, Jake was not there for Heath at his time of need."
Has it ever been proven Heath was drug addicted? If Heath was drug addicted, which I do not believe, if Matilda was not incentive enough for Heath to get help, then no one including Jake could have. Heath had parents, siblings and his Aussie posse who seemed to come out of the woodwork after his death to sing his praises. Where were those people in Heath's life? Before you can ask why didn't Jake help Heath, you need to ask why didn't the others who were even closer to Heath help him.
That being said, I think Heath's OD was an accident.
Really no one is blaming Jake. There are a few who are blaming Michelle though.

Ted Casablanca's The Awful Truth comment:
MarcusC Mon, Mar 22, 2010, 4:02 PM
I worked with Jake up in Calgary. He was the epitome of class, well-mannered, on time, friendly, and generous. Gossip is gossip, and speaks so much more about the person spreading it than the subject themselves.
I hate to say it and I'll probably get hell for it but I'm starting to wonder if this incident is PR generated somehow. I know it sounds crazy but it's making Jake look like one tough mean straight motherfucker, almost to the point of being the traditional macho man who wouldn't think twice about shoving the instigator's woman in a bar fight. He's not only standing up for his deceased friend Heath but he's at a restaurant with a bunch of girls - notice that the story does not mention any guys in his group. Okay so maybe the "dancing on top of a bench" sounds a little gay but the bulk of it makes Jake sound like a testosterone-fueled horndog fighting-for-his-honor He-Man out on a Saturday night with his women. Maybe it's a coincidence that this incident is right before POP? Idk. If it was truly a random encounter I don't doubt that PR will use it to enforce the Jake straight image. This happening now is just too good a timing, IMO.
Most men don't hit or shove women, no matter how much testosterone they have.
Nah. This is NOT the kind of PR family oriented Disney like.
Disney?! POTC, Johnny Depp...how many kids does he have with that woman he's not married to? And btw I'm not saying that the "shoving woman" is supposed to be true or be good PR true or not. I'm saying that the overall story that Jake got into a bar "fight" with a guy defending his and Heath's honor, and was with a gaggle of women is the main focus. You have to admit that the whole thing whether real or not, sheds a different image perception of Jake. Maybe not so much to us, but to the general public - yes. Definitely.
You could be right. I remember stories about Johnny trashing hotel rooms. :(
But in fairness, I don't believe you have to married, to have kids or otherwise.
