Jake's new image: Out on Saturday night at bar accompanied by his harem of adoring women and ready to fight any man who makes a rude comment or infringes upon his space. A real classy and heterosexual warrior! Huh, just like Prince Dastan, what a coincidence.
Sorry but after Reeke I do not trust PR, especially Jake's crack team. They are just a bunch of professional bullshitters. This attention-grabbing story making Jake out to be a tough guy with an all female entourage on a Saturday night, instead of the soft indie boy who stays home and quietly dates men, just rings PR stunt to me. There's just something about it.
That being said, I think Heath's OD was an accident.
It was ruled an accident, so there's not really anything to think about. And your comment sounds as judgmental as the one you're objecting to. There's no reason to try and place blame with any one or any group.
Not only that, but why in the world would PR invite that particular blogger into the fold? One look at his blog would be enough to turn anyone away. Especially Jake's PR, who happen to be women.
Comment on gossiprocks: "I'll say a few words about this: my friend works in the movie industry in Montreal, hung with Jake two Thursdays ago at Garde Manger (super trendy resto/bar in Old Montreal). I can tell you those "few chubby girls" are his personal assistants, etc... They're apparantly very unfortunate-looking and are very protective of Jake. When they were there two Thursday nights ago, he had his back to the rest of the crowd; he's incognito and very low-key. I can't picture him walking in and everyone dropping their drinks and pointing at him as it's a very noisy and dimly-lit resto. He's in Montreal filming a movie and prolly went to the resto just to chill with a drink. The author was obviously very drunk and was present when Jake was there, but I'm sure NOTHING of the sort that he's written. He just wants attention."
Not only that, but why in the world would PR invite that particular blogger into the fold? One look at his blog would be enough to turn anyone away. Especially Jake's PR, who happen to be women.
Don't forget DSF's original post "Jake Gyllenhaal is a faggot (I HATE this word) of the day". Really, that's the PR Jake's after?
I still don't get how he "defended" Heath. The "joke" was a provocation and Jake reacted to it.
I don't get it either. I can understand why he was pissed, and yelling for the bouncers to get the guy out of there was the right thing to do; and he was defending himself, which, of course, he should do, but that's not the same as defending Heath. Heath wasn't the one being accused of anything.
Also, DSF's behaviour wasn't a joke - that guy's blog rant says it all. You never know what kind of people are out there, it's best not to take chances, not just with Jake but also other people's safety in the restaurant.
Comment on gossiprocks ...he's incognito and very low-key.
Maybe he was sitting quietly two Thursdays ago, but dancing on a bench is not low-key and not how you behave if you want to be incognito. And the "apparently very unfortunate looking" remark about his p.a.'s is just flat-out bitchy and unnecessary.
I agree, he didn't defend Heath (not sure how he was supposed to) but his death is a sensitive matter for Jake obviously so despite being a seemingly calm guy he snapped. I think it's understandable.
To me, exchanging words and telling someone to eff off, then asking to have him removed is not testosterone-fueled low-class hetero behavior - are you going to tell me that a gay man wouldn't respond to that jerk if he were referred to by a slur?
No way this is a p.r. stunt by his team. Having said that, they'd be foolish not to try and turn this to their advantage - and trying to frame this to look like he was "defending" a deceased friend can't hurt him, especially if he comes off looking like a tough guy.
Ted's headline is wrong. Jake did NOT defend Heath in a bar dustup. Jake reacted to a nasty Heath allegation (about him killing Heath, which is..pretty friggin stupid) fired at him. But there's no defending of Heath's honor. Ted is twisting this out of context. Now if DSF had told Jake that Heath was a no good drug addict who deserved what he gotten and Jake reacted angrily and went after him, yes, THAT is defending Heath's honor. But that wasn't the case in this instance.
Now if DSF had told Jake that Heath was a no good drug addict who deserved what he gotten and Jake reacted angrily and went after him, yes, THAT is defending Heath's honor.
Sorry to say, but in this case Jake probably wouldn't have reacted the way he did since it wasn't an insult to him (Jake).
Despite what a lot of people think, Ted likes Jake. He always defended Jake about keeping silent after Heath died. That headline he wrote about Jake defending Heath isn't even supported by his own story. And if DSF wanted to create bad publicity for Jake, it seems to have backfired big-time.
Jake didn't defend Heath, we get it! There was nothing to defend him about anyway. Why does it bother you so much that Ted wrote that? It's a lousy headline, get over it. ONTD didn't even use it.

LOL. Why does it bother you so much that other people are talking about it? You don't want to hear about, we get it! Get over it and use the scroll bar.
"I was at Garde Manger Saturday night when the whole thing went down... He did loose his temper and he did shove the girl... He was yelling and screaming and caused a whole commotion. I am sorry but if I were Jake Gyllenhaal I wouldn't go to places where people can say whatever they want if I wasn't prepared to handle it correctly. The poor girl was hysterical crying, he got right into her face and all she was doing was asking him to calm down.... He needs to learn that off set, he is just like the rest of us and he is not allowed to push and shove people around like that... it was disturbing to see such a display of power tripping.."
Don't forget DSF's original post "Jake Gyllenhaal is a faggot (I HATE this word) of the day". Really, that's the PR Jake's after?
Doubtful Jake's pr set this up. They are not exactly the best in the business (that would be George Clooney's team). But naturally they will defend/turn this incident to Jake's advantage however they can. Ted seems to have helped on that score.
Legal action will not go all the way to court. Imagine JG having to say he didn't shove a girl and that he's not gay.
Defamation law in the United States is much less plaintiff-friendly than its counterparts in European and the Commonwealth countries, due to the enforcement of the First Amendment. Defenses to libel that can result in dismissal before trial include the statement being one of opinion rather than fact or being "fair comment and criticism," though neither of these are imperatives on the US constitution. Truth is currently almost always a defense.
it was disturbing to see such a display of power tripping.
Wonder how this story will mutate. Probably a win for Jake unless....
If it spreads that DSF said "kiss Heath Ledger" and Jake went batshit, it makes him look like he freaked at the suggestion that he's gay. Result for Jake is: Win 70% (he must not be gay! hausfrau & Disney rejoice), Lose 30% (some gays offended)
If it spreads that DSF said "killed Heath Ledger" and Jake got mad enough to fight, Win 70% (righteous anger+macho), Lose 30% (can't hold his temper+has revealed a vulnerable point)
If it spreads that DSF said "killed Heath Ledger" and Jake went batshit-screaming-meltdown-nuts, Win 50%, Lose 50%. It reinforces the perception that Heath is a huge, bizarrely touchy, 1000% off-limits subject for Jake. Which will give rise to more speculation about why, and also give fame-seeking provacateurs more ammunition to goad Jake with. But enough people will still say he was right to get mad and give him a pass.
If it spreads that DSF said "killed Heath Ledger" and Jake went ballistic and shoved a GIRL (who did not say the provocative words), making her cry, Win 10% (some people will still defend him), Lose 90%.
My question is, why is Jake allowing Heath to become his Achilles heel. It's ridiculous.
Re the defending Heath comments. Sorry, I just came into the convo and I'm not one of the previous posters and I'm not trying to start anything up. But I was thinking that we just read the words "killed Heath" that DSF said to Jake; we didn't see DSF's facial expression or tone of voice. The way someone says something means a lot. If a stranger came up to me and for example, said the name of a friend in a sarcastic voice and/or made a face to ridicule my friend, who maybe is in the headlines (for whatever reason), whether they were still alive or not, I would take it as an offense and want to defend them. They don't have to be present in order for me to want to stand up for them and for me to make another person stop putting them down. Of course my way would be sharp words without swearing (not that I don't swear lol, it's because using them in a confrontation shows that you have lost control, and in confrontations control is the #1 weapon) or I'd ignore them to show that they and their opinions are insignificant and don't have any effect.
Anyway what I wanted to say is that we didn't hear the tone or see the accompanying facial expressions or even if DSF used any crude hand gestures like a gun to his head or choking. Something like that along with the words would piss me off. That's all.
drunkstepfather: the @theawfultruth is that i don't care about the Jake Gyllenhaal bullshit-no charges are being pressed-i won't retract my truestory though 42 minutes ago from web
If a stranger came up to me and for example, said the name of a friend in a sarcastic voice and/or made a face to ridicule my friend...whether they were still alive or not, I would take it as an offense and want to defend them.
ok 2:37pm, but Jake was not "defending" Heath. He was defending himself.
(From harassment and the accusation of killing - now kissing - Heath.)
I am sorry but if I were Jake Gyllenhaal I wouldn't go to places where people can say whatever they want if I wasn't prepared to handle it correctly. The poor girl was hysterical crying, he got right into her face and all she was doing was asking him to calm down....
If true - the girl should have told her retarded friend to shut up.
Still months from release, Disney has asked that press refrain from rendering reviews of the movie, but we're cleared to write about what we saw and post some impressions, which leads us directly to the point of today's article. ... The action is big. The effects bigger. And the storyline just interesting enough to keep you watching. Gyllenhaal -- probably not anybody's first choice for the Prince of Persia; although, to be fair, he's a hard character to cast -- serves the role just fine. And Arterton has sex appeal to spare. This movie will surely be compared to Pirates of the Caribbean series and it shares much in common. Perhaps the only thing missing is the equivalent of Captain Jack Sparrow -- Johnny Depp's ludicrous, but unforgettable antihero. By comparison, Dastan and Tamina are straighter and side-players like Kingsley and Molina unremarkable. But the movie is well-produced and sparkling with polish from beginning to end, and we doubt any potential shortcomings will stop moviegoers from seeing it and doing their part in adding another notch to Bruckheimer's already-considerable blockbuster belt.
Too bad this attempt by some in Jake's fandom to get him to talk about Heath blew up in their aces . The SC set and Jake's BG has pics of Ted and Lisa, they better stay away.
Too bad this attempt by some in Jake's fandom to get him to talk about Heath blew up in their aces . DrunkenStepfather is part of Jake's fandom?!? What insulting and provoking Jake has to do with Jake's talking about Heath?
The SC set and Jake's BG has pics of Ted and Lisa, they better stay away. What is wrong with you? I'm sure Jake would love to see Ted and Lisa again.
Hunnerd to one, DSF was hired by Bitchface to make Jake look like a drunk with a short fuse who shoves women and has Heath issues (and who dates unknown fat chicks!) so that it looks like she made the right decision of breaking up with Jake and dating her perfect, stable, mature new bf.
Look how Reese trashed Ryan. IMO the stories, pics and vids of Ryan leaving clubs looking less than his best, and some encounters where someone picked a fight with him, were no accident. I honestly believe that cunt had a plan and hired people to help destroy Ryan's reputation in the public's view, and I honestly believe that she is setting her sights on Jake now. There is no way in hell she got dropped as his beard and has forgiven it and moved on. No fucking way.
He danced like on the bench of his table loving the attention and was throwing his arms in the air like he owned the world….I got annoyed….I couldn’t handle this ego doing his dance while acting like he was God’s gift to the world, so I decided to ask him a question….I walked up to his booth and asked the chubby girl he was making out with:
Dear Ted: I am a mixed-breed rescue dog who's hopelessly loved and spoiled by my owner. My owner says I'm the best dog ever. I know I'm reward enough, but can you throw my owner a bone (get it?) about one of your Blind Vices? My owner's a bit addicted to Blind Vices. Take your pick. All my owner asks is that it be about one of the 30 and up crowd, because she's not as familiar with the young cool stars as she used to be. Gotta go pester the (rescue) cat now. —Ginger
Dear Barkin' for some Gossip: Crotch Uh-Lastic will so beat Toothy Tile in the coming-out battle—in fact, Crotch has been been pretty much saying it in the press, if you read between the lines. Now, go give your owner a nice big poop, everyone will feel better, promise
Dear Ted: What is your scoop on the film, Love And Other Drugs (November 2010) starring Anne Hathaway & Jake Gyllenhaal? After seeing the rough cut of this film, industry insiders on some of the movie blogs are already predicting another Oscar nomination for Ms. Hathaway. The reports say it is unbelievably sexy (much nudity between Jake & Anne), very romantic, extremely funny and little bit of a tear-jerker. They say the chemistry between this duo is incredibly hot. Please, give me some info! —JM
Dear Movie Buff: Wow, you must be quite the film aficionado, darling! You're right, the movie has been building a lot of buzz for both Jake and Anne, who are apparently amazing according to those who have pre-screened the movie. We love Anne and can't wait to see the movie either!
Dear Ted: I was just reading how Reese Witherspoon has a new boyfriend already. Gee, it didn't take her long to get over Jake, now did it? I guess it wasn't such a bad breakup after all. —Lee
I'm not a Whiterspoon Conspiracy believer on this one. Chin & Toothy's 3 years contract ended, that was it.
She moved on with her new photo-op tool and Jake is dealing with the good and the bad that fame brings. All stars have to endure fake or real stories about them in magazines and the net, Jake is not an exception.
Posted on OMG by Destiny: Interesting that one of the things Jake's people specifically denied in the letter is that he was making out with one of the women.
"Posted on OMG by Destiny: Interesting that one of the things Jake's people specifically denied in the letter is that he was making out with one of the women. Did anyone see that letter/quote?"
It's in the lawyer’s letter that DSF received and he posted on his site. Link (NSFW)
So the restaurant Jake Gyllenhaal was at are denying anything happened in regards to his shoving a girl I was with, it’s good for business to defend celebrities. I kinda expected it when they kicked me out for “upsetting the celebrity”, which is exacltly what they told me, as Gyllenhaal threw his hissy fit and demanded I be kicked out, since he’s here for 6 weeks and his 1000 dollars in Vodka bottles and awkward dancing on benches is good for business….
So the girls he was with are denying anything happened, because Gyllenhaal gave them attention and maybe he will let hang with him again, until he heads home and forgets they exist.
His entourage deny cuz this is their job…but I know what happened. I know what I saw. I don’t really care whether his profession Lawyers, managers, Publicists and other keepers say it didn’t….I wasn’t the drunk one dancing on bars like a fool.
Here is the Lawyers letter….
Dear Sir,
Our law firm represents Jake Gyllenhaal. I am writing with regard to the story that appears on www.drunkenstepfather.com entitled “Jake Gyllanhaal Beats Up Girl of the Day.” As you know, since you purport to have been physically present at the time of the events in question, the story is entirely false. Specific false and defamatory statements in your story include, without limitation, the claims that he was “making out” with a girl in the restaurant, that he threatened you, and, most damaging of all, that he pushed the girl who was with you into a table at least ten times before his crew held him back and that he “pretty much hit a girl.” As you know, none of this is true, and there was no physical contact between Mr. Gyllenhaal and the girl in question – nothing that could under any interpretation be described as hitting her or shoving her. There is absolutely no excuse for this kind of irresponsible journalism.
Demand is hereby made that you immediately take down this story and all references to this story from www.drunnkenstepfather.com and from any other site or means of transmission or communication that you control and that you immediately notify all other websites and media outlets which have picked up the story from you that the story is false and must be immediately withdrawn. Your failure to immediately comply with this demand will compound the damages for which you are responsible for publishing this false story.
This letter is not intended as a complete statement of all relevant facts or a release, waver or relinquishment of any right or remedy, all of which are expressly reserved.
I was at the bar. I am friends with the girl who was pushed by Gyllenhaal numerous times. I know there is video footage of the incident and I will be releasing it as it comes in.
Nothing in my story is false. There are witnesses. Your client was completely out of control, drunk and erratic and he and his entourage are in fact the ones lying.
He has been at that bar getting drunk 5 nights the past week.
If it is necessary, I will be issuing a police report as it has come to that because you are sending me lawyers letters in regards to an experience I was a part of and witnessed where your client verbally assaulted me and my female friend, when I made no contact with him, I made a comment to the girl he was with.
In regards to the girl he was “making out with”. Deny what you want. I was there. I even know her name.
I saw what I saw. I witnessed what I witnessed and telling my story is not defamation of character, it is free press, I am allowed to say what I saw as a first hand account of the events that took place if I was in fact there…I love that they are telling me what I saw, or at least trying to tell me what I saw because rich and powerful people can create my reality if it involves their client…If he doesn’t want to be called someone who shoves girls…he shouldn’t shove girls….especially since he only lost his mind after I made a comment to a person he was with, not even directly to him…
What I can tell you is that when he got in my face I thought it was a joke…but when he hurt and scared the girl I was with for telling him to calm down and even made her cry…it was no longer that funny…
I hate how celebrities think they are above the law, that they can do what they “erase” events I witnessed, that they try to destroy the little credibility I have while using scare tactics cuz I don’t come from a rich Hollywood family…
My story is truth…his machine has more power than me…but he was the one who went nuts…and here are my stepLINKS…cuz I am bored of all the emails I am getting over this.it is so fucking boring…
This whole thing is so silly and here are my stepLINKS…
Your client was completely out of control, drunk and erratic and he and his entourage are in fact the ones lying. He has been at that bar getting drunk 5 nights the past week.
he claims to know the girls name he was making out with, i thought that she was part of his "crew", if so how would he know her name? Unless he is implying that he met her there and invited her to party with him.
Jake Gyllenhaal heeft er dit weekeinde voor gezorgd dat een gast uit een restaurant is gezet. De man maakte een snerende opmerking aan het adres van de acteur.
Aisha101: Good one Jake! What a bastard. RT @CelebNation Jake Gyllenhaal Defends Heath Ledger in Bar Fight http://bit.ly/csZz2A (expand) 15 minutes ago
No doubt about that! And just because someone is dancing on a bench does not mean they are high or drunk - maybe they're just having some fun. By DSF's own admission that's what pissed him off - like it's any of his business if Jake wants to dance in public. Sounds like he's jealous of Jake to me.
britneyfanzine: Gotta love Jake Gyllenhaal. There’s a rumor he got in a Canadian bar fight over the weekend, defending the memory of Heath Ledger. (E! Online) 18 minutes ago
Jake Gyllenhaal....... why the heck do you think you can throw a hissy fit and try to punch out someone who asked if you were the guy who kissed Heath Ledger! YOU WERE! If you don't want people to talk about you kissing guys......DON'T KISS GUYS!
He did NOT defend the memory of Heath Ledger. That's bullcrap. Jake was provoked by an ugly allegation this blogger made about his role in Heath's death. But no way can that be interpreted that he was defending Heath's honor.
Why do I think this story is NOT going to go away--at least not immediately. I wonder if the gossip mags are going to pick it up. I bet a few are investigating this.
Jake Gyllenhaal Taunted Over Heath Ledger's Death in Montreal
Reports are going around that Jake Gyllenhaal was involved in a "bar fight over Heath Ledger in Montreal over the weekend. The truth appears to be that Gyllenhaal had a blogger from DrunkenStepfather thrown out of a bar after the blogger harassed him, saying "Isn't that the guy who killed Heath Ledger?"
Blogger claims (site nsfw): "An innocent comment….that apparently he couldn’t take…so he took his acting class lessons seriously as he started screaming at chanelled the birthday he didn’t get the red bike-in my face like a role he rehearsed…he started throwing his hands in the air all while saying things like 'get the fuck out here' and 'I will break you' flailing his arms around like he meant business….but it was really a fucking joke… I laughed but the bouncers didn’t so I got escorted out after I had to pay my bill…the girl I was with was stuck inside where Gyllanhaal decided to take out his anger on her….by pushing her into the table at least once before his crew held him back….. Maybe these people aren’t used to being teased and everyone around them sucks up to them…so here he was shoving her against the table, hurting her, making her cry before his crew of handlers pulled him off her…"
E! Online clears it up: "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."
Too bad this attempt by some in Jake's fandom to get him to talk about Heath blew up in their faces .
Huh? Since when is DSF part of Jake's fandom? As for Jake talking about Heath, I honestly don't care anymore. I'm glad other people paid tribute though.
Someone put that nut up to asking him about Jake IMO. Someone in Jake's online fandom that is in Canada/Montreal. Only BBM obsessed fans would bring up Heath at this point and DSF ain't no fan oHeath, Jake nor BBM. I bet he was told he would get hits if he started shit.
Jake has been spotted at that place before, easy to find out if he was going to show up on Saturday.
Well he is unspooling via twitters accusing Ted of working with Jake's PR and claiming he has video and changing his story every 2 minutes. How long before he spills on how he decided to start shit with Jake.

Why does this have to be turned into some conspiracy? Some asshole blogger wants to stir up some shit and he did - you don't think a blogger already knows that he can increase hits with controversy? No one would have to tell him that.

Heath would have hated it to be dragged into this shit. It's unfortunate. This will stick like shit to his memory when all the others (Jake, Anne, Michelle) will move on and get new attention for their films. But Heath will only be used as a joke anymore and stupid babblers will even blame Heath for all this (this stupid cows). I don't even want Heath's name mentioned by Jake anymore. I want his name mentioned in connection with his beautiful daughter, not bar fights where his name is used to provoke trouble. If Jake was a friend, he would have ingnored that fool or really defended Heath after his death when tabloids kept trashing Heath. This is just further proof that Jake is NOT a friend. I'm disgusted.
Jake should mind his own business and keep away from all things Heath and his daughter who he probably doesn't even see anyway. And all this talk "defending Heath's honor". Laughable.

Bullshit.
EVERYONE knows about Brokeback Mountain and no one needs to teach DSF how to get hits.
Ted has always hated Heath and when Heath was alive he trashed, trashed, trashed him. Now he's bringing him up in such a context. He should be ashamed of himself.
This is just further proof that Jake is NOT a friend.
You got it backwards. If Jake didn't care he would've ignored the remark. A lot of nasty words were thrown at him during the BBM days and he never lost his cool. Heath's death is clearly a raw subject for him.
If Jake was a friend, he would have ingnored that fool or really defended Heath after his death when tabloids kept trashing Heath. This is just further proof that Jake is NOT a friend.
Are you posting that nonsense just to provoke people who love Jake and Heath?
Jake IS minding his own business - his friends and his goddaughter are his business.
He minded because he was provoked and insulted. Like someone mentioned, if the guy said Heath was a loser junkie, Jake's reaction probably wouldn't be the same.
Jake should mind his own business and keep away from all things Heath and his daughter who he probably doesn't even see anyway.
No need to pretend you care for Heath, his memory or his daughter. What really bothers you is that Jake cares enough about him to lose his temper over that stupid "joke".
Are you posting that nonsense just to provoke people who love Jake and Heath?
No. I'm just voicing my disappointment. See, it would be nice to read in news about Heath having a new project, not him being in connection with some bar fight. Jake will be in PoP and LAOD (is even getting some good buzz), so this'll be forgotten, but Heath will probably be mentioned in such ridiculous contexts from now on. It's making me sad.
No need to pretend you care for Heath, his memory or his daughter. What really bothers you is that Jake cares enough about him to lose his temper over that stupid "joke".
I do not pretend. I was a fan of Heath's since we both were teenagers. I became a fan of Jake much later, during BBM promo to be honest.
Oh my god, what is wrong with these last few commenters? Do you really hate Jake THAT much that you've turned this premeditated incident by a vile blogger into something Jake is responsible for?
I understand your love for Heath, but don't make this something than it is. Or isn't.
You give this DSF too much credit. NOONE takes him seriously, except that he may be a danger to himself and others. Clearly, he thinks his "world view" is shared by others in that homophobic rant he had on his blog. Jake did the right thing, telling him to get lost and asking that he be removed, because you have to stand up for something in this life. If it had been you or I, DSF wouldn't have bothered, because there's something in heckling the famous for him - attention, potential $$$, or just lunacy. I can't believe anyone is paying attention to him. Something like this isn't going to harm Heath's memory in any way. As you all say, DSF has changed his story repeatedly. He's already saying it's boring, like a child whose had enough. Now that he's been contacted by lawyers, it's suddenly become "boring" for him. Translation? The blog is coming down.
LOL, babblers are SO transparent with their pretense to care about Heath and his memory. What a joke. They'd rather Jake be an insensitive douche than give the sightless crap about good for nothing Heath.
To Heath fans, DSF disrespected Heath's death, you can't blame Jake for getting upset. That guy could care less about Heath or Jake for that matter, he has accomplished his goal, attention.
LOL, babblers are SO transparent with their pretense to care about Heath and his memory. What a joke. They'd rather Jake be an insensitive douche than give the sightless crap about good for nothing Heath.
I'm not a retarded babbler. Most of these women are pretentious assholes. Jealous and hateful towards Heath and HAPPY he is dragged into shit. If he was alive and was more successful than Jake, you could call them green eyed monsters insteasd of babblers. Now that would be something I'd love to see, but unfortunately.
I usually shy away from grocery checkout celebrity gossip but this Jake-Gyllenhaal-allegedly-pushing-a-girl-at-Garde-Manger story intrigued me in that usually Montrealers leave celebrities alone. We don't point and scoff within earshot in an attempt to knock someone down a few pegs, we live and let live, maybe ask for an autograph or introduce ourselves if the timing seems appropriate. Most of us can take bloated egos in stride ... someone needs to primp like a peacock? As long as no one is disrespected, ridiculed or dehumanized by said antics, let them primp all they want.
That's the Montreal way. At least I thought it was.
I don't know what really happened Saturday night at Garde-Manger, you don't know what really happened, and probably half of the people in attendance at Chuck Hughes' Food TV acclaimed restaurant are in a fog about it too. As for the others who saw and heard everything, from Gyllenhaal's entourage to onlookers to restaurant staff, well, you know how it goes. They have interests to protect and careers to boost so I expect lies will be as abundant as kernels of candour. Unless someone taped the whole altercation and/or a witness unrelated to either party fesses up -- and I hate saying this, especially as someone who's experienced mind-bending injustice because no one wanted to get involved or take a stand, a crushing reality I'm sure many of you have gone through too -- we'll never know the truth.
franly i think this story is getting out of hand. there is no proof whatsoever anything happened at all!
i have not read anything from witnesses except DSF, which doesn't sound very reliable to begin with.
why the girl who was attacked isn't talking? where is she anyway? kidnapped by Gyllenhaal's entourage? come on peeps! if anything of that sort happened i'm pretty sure he (Jake) would have not gotten away with it.
Well maybe Jake should send DSF a thank you note, for the most part Jake is coming out (according to some of the comments on other blogs) as an honorable dude. It also helps that DSF is a well known loser in the blog community. Just go to his site and you see that he is scum.
So let me understand this, a blogger makes comments on his twitter page that he plans to do something to make himself famous, something that involves humiliation. Several hours later he feels he's accomplished this mission and goes on a twitter spree to any and all claiming Jake has beaten up a girl. We then read his blog and realize that he has accomplished his mission for the evening by making an assholic statement to Jake, although he claims he made the statement to a friend he (blogger) was with, but within earshot of Jake. Jake isn't a stupid man, he knows this guy is there to provoke, so before it goes any further, he asks the asshole to leave. Smart move on Jake's part I'd say.
And now, here on this blog, Jake is either selfish and/or uncaring and Heath's name should never pass his lips? And this is all a babbler's doing? Not sure I follow this logic. Is there any logic here you can explain to me?
"As for the others who saw and heard everything, from Gyllenhaal's entourage to onlookers to restaurant staff, well, you know how it goes. They have interests to protect and careers to boost so I expect lies will be as abundant as kernels of candour."
bullcrap.
why?? his entourage yes, staff possibly but i doubt it, and onlookers, all trying to defend the career/reputation of Gyllenhaal? who is he, the Pope?
besides, i don't believe that you can push a woman in a public place and the only one rebelling against it DSF, while the rest of the crowd sit on their ass.
And now, here on this blog, Jake is either selfish and/or uncaring and Heath's name should never pass his lips?
When did I say this? I would have LOVED if he paid some nice, beautiful tribute to Heath. But he chose not to. So, instead we get all this recent crap. Nate interview, bar fight. Now maybe some Brokies are delusional and think "wow Jake really loved Heath, defending his honor". And are BEYOND happy that Heath is mentioned in connection with Jake. But others might see it differently.
Well maybe I'm thin skin, but I would be highly upset if someone basically accused me of murder.
LOL. Right. Like this was an ACTUAL accusation of "murder." This has gotten way out of hand. It was a remark intended to get Jake pissed off and for asshole DSF to get attention for himself. That's it.
And why some have to turn this into a Jake v. Heath thing AGAIN is beyond me. That old shit should be put to rest already, along with the bullshit conspiracy theories.
Bottom line - this isn't hurting Jake and won't hurt Jake and the publicity looks like it's garnering sympathy/admiration for him. So everyone should just chill and not worry about him too much. Jake will be fine.
Jake is either selfish and/or uncaring and Heath's name should never pass his lips? And this is all a babbler's doing?
Yeah, it's a babbler pretending to give a toss about Heath's memory. She doesn't, she just wants Jake to distance himself from Heath. Her m.o. is easy to spot.

LOL. Yeah, if it makes you happy to think so. Go ahead!
I don't even want Heath's name mentioned by Jake anymore. I want his name mentioned in connection with his beautiful daughter, not bar fights where his name is used to provoke trouble. If Jake was a friend, he would have ingnored that fool or really defended Heath after his death when tabloids kept trashing Heath. This is just further proof that Jake is NOT a friend. I'm disgusted.
and
Jake should mind his own business and keep away from all things Heath and his daughter who he probably doesn't even see anyway. And all this talk "defending Heath's honor". Laughable.
Yeah, it's a babbler pretending to give a toss about Heath's memory. She doesn't, she just wants Jake to distance himself from Heath. Her m.o. is easy to spot.
I can't say for sure what's going on in this instance, but babblers definitely have used that tactic in the past. They think they're pretty clever about it too, lol.

Why are you blaming Jake? Jake did not ask Nate to mention Heath and has nothing to do with DSF's stupidity. Jake did answer Nate's question and he did defend his friendship with Heath. What's wrong with that?
The "defending Heath's honor" byline came from Ted C., Jake had nothing to do with that. Why not give Ted the shit?
And you say you don't want Heath's name mentioned by Jake anymore, as if he's been talking about Heath all along. Did I miss something? Nate Berkus brought up Heath. DSF brought up Heath. Take it up with them for DARING to mention Heath in the presence of Jake. Oh I know, Jake is an easy target. DSF found that out as well.
I can't say for sure what's going on in this instance, but babblers definitely have used that tactic in the past. They think they're pretty clever about it too, lol.
What tactic? If I said "yay, Jake defended Heath's honor", "he's a hero". That's what you'd like to hear, right? But sorry to say, Jake's not paying tribute, reeking was (and now this is) something that I, as follower of both actors, do not approve of. I know no one gives a shit about my opinion. I'll still voice it.
Now maybe some Brokies are delusional and think "wow Jake really loved Heath, defending his honor". And are BEYOND happy that Heath is mentioned in connection with Jake. But others might see it differently.
Beyond happy? Please point out some of the posts that say that. Why would the idea that Jake cared about Heath enough to lose his temper over that joke bother you? I guess you'd rather believe Jake couldn't stand his guts.

You're totally confused. No, I don't think Jake was a hero. Jake has never paid tribute, so why would I want to hear that? Reeke was pathetic and transparent.
My post was agreeing that certain babblers make phony posts pretending to care about Heath, but the real purpose is to try and trash him. They've done it in the past - that's they're "tactic." If you can't follow what's going on - don't post.
You can't really know who's a babbler making Heath comments and who isn't. The "tactic" of which you speak could be employed by anyone. You sound slightly paranoid.
There sure are babblers who pretend to care about Heath, but in fact are latent haters. But I can assure you, I'm not. And I will post whenever and as long as I want to and discuss whatever I want. Jackie decides what she wants to stay as a post and what not.
Why would the idea that Jake cared about Heath enough to lose his temper over that joke bother you?
I was just saying that I disagree with the "defending honor" part. And that I see him losing his temper as a reaction to an obvious provocation and out of emabarrassement because of the people who were there with him. We obviously see it differently and have to agree to disagree.
You can't really know who's a babbler making Heath comments and who isn't. The "tactic" of which you speak could be employed by anyone. You sound slightly paranoid.
jfc, does anyone bother to actually read and follow a thread? I SAID you can't tell who's a babbler and who isn't - I was just agreeing with another poster that babblers have done it in the past. That's not paranoia, it's having a freaking conversation. And you're not the thought police, so stop telling people to "move on." I wasn't the one who brought up Reeke. Try reading the posts.
Read other comments (ONTD, tweets) - Jake was defending Heath's honor.
First, I have my own opinion, I don't care what others say. Second, the tweets are basically repeating the headline Ted made up. ONTD posters agree with Jake's reaction caused by an obvious provocation by a jealous trouble maker. And most agree that the "joke" was not funny, which it wasn't.
Read other comments (ONTD, tweets) - Jake was defending Heath's honor.
Other comments are just that: comments, one person's opinion. From what we have read there was no Heath-defending. The guy got up in Jake's face with a provocative comment and Jake had him removed. End of.
We don't know what was really said, we have only the (dubious) word of DSF. Maybe there was more to it, that provoked Jake. At least Jake wasn't provoked further, he handled it the right way IMO.
Other comments are just that: comments, one person's opinion. From what we have read there was no Heath-defending. The guy got up in Jake's face with a provocative comment and Jake had him removed. End of.
Of course not, there is no way Jake could care about Heath. Jake might have friends, but he could never, ever be Heath's friend.
Talking about the incident at hand, darlin'. Not in general. Let's stay on topic and not try to twist my words around. kthnx.
All the info we have, granted, comes from DSF, only states he made that provocative remark, followed by Jake shoving/hitting/who knows, and then having him tossed out of the restaurant.
Still not sure how Jake was supposed to defend Heath's honor at that joke. As for reacting out of embarrassment, I don't think so, some really awful words have been yelled at him in the past because of BBM and he always ignored them, didn't allow those idiots to get a rise out of him with their insults. This was different because it's a sore issue with Jake.
"Isn't that the guy who killed Heath Ledger?" asked a blogger who approached Brokeback Mountain star Jake Gyllenhaal in Montreal Saturday night
Jake Gyllenhaal withstood an insult about his late Brokeback Mountain costar Saturday night when a blogger approached his entourage in a Montreal restaurant and asked, “Isn’t that the guy who killed Heath Ledger?”
According to E! Online, Gyllenhaal and some friends were dancing on the bench of their table at Garde-Manger when an annoyed blogger from a celebrity gossip site called DrunkenStepfather approached and issued the taunt, which prompted the actor to ask bouncers to eject him.
The story grows complicated because the blogger at first contended that he used the word “kissed,” not “killed.” He also alleged that Gyllenhaal pushed his female companion, but witnesses dispute that.
E! offers what it believes to be the actual version of events in Montreal:
“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.
“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.’”
You mess with the bull, you get the horns There are a couple of conflicting reports going around about an alleged altercation in Montreal, Canada that involved actor Jake Gyllenhaal over the weekend. On the one hand, a blogger who goes by the name DrunkenStepfather alleges that Jake assaulted a female friend of his after said blogger made a comment about Jake “kissing” the late Heath Ledger. On the other hand, an impartial third party witness clarifies that the comment made was not about “kissing” Heath but rather “killing” him and Jake — very obviously angry — merely called for the ejection of said blogger and his friends. I’ve had some personal dealings with this blogger and I can absolutely believe that he made the “killing” joke in the attempt to illicit a response from Gyllenhaal. Here’s a report from E! that details the whole disgusting scenario: (...) I’m telling you, I absolutely believe that the “killing” comment was made (and I do believe the story posted on his blog was changed in order to backtrack). This blogger has made a “career” out of writing some of the most outrageous things possible in order to offend in any way possible … I mean, that’s his shtick. It’s not the sort of thing that I endorse but I can understand that is a niche market that can entertain some people. To make an outrageous comment concerning the death of a friend is to absolutely ask for a response like this … so I’m not sure what the surprise is. Whatever actually went down, I’m certain that Jake was very happy to defend the honor of his late friend … and this blogger is prolly very much enjoying the attention his comment has garnered. It remains to be seen if this is the last we’ll hear of this story … but I wouldn’t be surprised if some sort of legalness comes from this verbal altercation. We shall see.
LOL. Get a load of the picture of Jake PITNB used. Hilarious. Ted started this "defending Heath's honor" bullshit - but who ever said it wouldn't go any further was so wrong. That's the theme that's now being spread.
All credible mags are reporting on it, telling it like it is. They are calling it a taunt, making DSF look like the homophobe he is. PITNB has been harassed by him, he says.

You are talking so much nonsense it's unbelieveable. What DSF did was wrong and everyone exposed him as fame whore that he is. The only thing that's not the case, IMO, is Jake defending Heath. That is all!
1:37, you are so full of shit. And, btw, your post is a perfect example of the kind of phony bullshit "I never thought I'd see the day ..." tactic babblers try to fool everyone with. You know damn well no one here is defending libel or slander and no one is defending DSF.
Go back to babblers and DC forum where this kind of crap is eaten up. We've got your number.
Come on. Don't you know by now that whenever you post a reply without a quote that other comments will cut in front of yours and make your comment look like a fifth wheel?!!
Now the tagline suddenly became "Jake defending Heath's honor"
Only weeks after the awckward momet with that pseudo-reporter guy at the Oscars and the fact that it made people remember Jake's silent when Heath died...
For people here arguing about it, maybe first you each need to present your definition of "defend" and "honor". I'm not being sarcastic - I think that's where the problem is, how people have different ideas of what they mean. Just sayin.
Update: Just in case our item wasn't clear enough, here are some more choice words from Gyllenhaal's rep about that alleged bar incident:
"Our client is taking such strong and immediate action because of the seriousness of the issue behind the allegation. He would never harm a woman, or touch a woman in anger. Such behavior is not only criminal, but personally abhorrent to him."

«Oldest ‹Older 2201 – 2400 of 2896 Newer› Newest»I still don't get how he "defended" Heath. The "joke" was a provocation and Jake reacted to it.
Jake's new image: Out on Saturday night at bar accompanied by his harem of adoring women and ready to fight any man who makes a rude comment or infringes upon his space. A real classy and heterosexual warrior! Huh, just like Prince Dastan, what a coincidence.
Sorry but after Reeke I do not trust PR, especially Jake's crack team. They are just a bunch of professional bullshitters. This attention-grabbing story making Jake out to be a tough guy with an all female entourage on a Saturday night, instead of the soft indie boy who stays home and quietly dates men, just rings PR stunt to me. There's just something about it.
That being said, I think Heath's OD was an accident.
It was ruled an accident, so there's not really anything to think about. And your comment sounds as judgmental as the one you're objecting to. There's no reason to try and place blame with any one or any group.
Yes 7:33 that was my point. Many actors have done less than stellar things in the past and have matured.
I'm sorry, you're not making any sense to me. Stories about Jake shoving women are the PR Jake and Disney want?
Not only that, but why in the world would PR invite that particular blogger into the fold? One look at his blog would be enough to turn anyone away. Especially Jake's PR, who happen to be women.
Comment on gossiprocks:
"I'll say a few words about this: my friend works in the movie industry in Montreal, hung with Jake two Thursdays ago at Garde Manger (super trendy resto/bar in Old Montreal). I can tell you those "few chubby girls" are his personal assistants, etc... They're apparantly very unfortunate-looking and are very protective of Jake. When they were there two Thursday nights ago, he had his back to the rest of the crowd; he's incognito and very low-key. I can't picture him walking in and everyone dropping their drinks and pointing at him as it's a very noisy and dimly-lit resto. He's in Montreal filming a movie and prolly went to the resto just to chill with a drink.
The author was obviously very drunk and was present when Jake was there, but I'm sure NOTHING of the sort that he's written. He just wants attention."
itsonlymichelle: The fact that Jake Gyllenhaal was in a bar fight makes him a thousand times more sexier.

Don't forget DSF's original post "Jake Gyllenhaal is a faggot (I HATE this word) of the day". Really, that's the PR Jake's after?
I still don't get how he "defended" Heath. The "joke" was a provocation and Jake reacted to it.
I don't get it either. I can understand why he was pissed, and yelling for the bouncers to get the guy out of there was the right thing to do; and he was defending himself, which, of course, he should do, but that's not the same as defending Heath. Heath wasn't the one being accused of anything.
Also, DSF's behaviour wasn't a joke - that guy's blog rant says it all. You never know what kind of people are out there, it's best not to take chances, not just with Jake but also other people's safety in the restaurant.
Comment on gossiprocks
...he's incognito and very low-key.
Maybe he was sitting quietly two Thursdays ago, but dancing on a bench is not low-key and not how you behave if you want to be incognito. And the "apparently very unfortunate looking" remark about his p.a.'s is just flat-out bitchy and unnecessary.
I agree, he didn't defend Heath (not sure how he was supposed to) but his death is a sensitive matter for Jake obviously so despite being a seemingly calm guy he snapped. I think it's understandable.
To me, exchanging words and telling someone to eff off, then asking to have him removed is not testosterone-fueled low-class hetero behavior - are you going to tell me that a gay man wouldn't respond to that jerk if he were referred to by a slur?
The story on ONTD is 6 pages already.
No way this is a p.r. stunt by his team. Having said that, they'd be foolish not to try and turn this to their advantage - and trying to frame this to look like he was "defending" a deceased friend can't hurt him, especially if he comes off looking like a tough guy.
No one but Ted used the term "defended". Stop making out of it more than it is.
Ted's headline is wrong. Jake did NOT defend Heath in a bar dustup. Jake reacted to a nasty Heath allegation (about him killing Heath, which is..pretty friggin stupid) fired at him. But there's no defending of Heath's honor. Ted is twisting this out of context. Now if DSF had told Jake that Heath was a no good drug addict who deserved what he gotten and Jake reacted angrily and went after him, yes, THAT is defending Heath's honor. But that wasn't the case in this instance.
^^Completely agree 8:08 PM.
Ted is an idiot.
Now if DSF had told Jake that Heath was a no good drug addict who deserved what he gotten and Jake reacted angrily and went after him, yes, THAT is defending Heath's honor.
Sorry to say, but in this case Jake probably wouldn't have reacted the way he did since it wasn't an insult to him (Jake).
It's sad that Heath's name is dragged through the mud again, it was dragged through the mud already shortly after he died.
Sorry to say, but in this case Jake probably wouldn't have reacted the way he did since it wasn't an insult to him (Jake).
Please.

Please.
I'm pretty convinced about it.
Jake needs a visitor from his family, or Chris, on the set of Source Code *now*.
Maybe WFT crew should visit him.
^^Ok.
When does the bus leave?
I'll have to check 8:35. Or we all travel individually and meet up at his hotel? Does anyone know where he's staying, btw?
;)
Despite what a lot of people think, Ted likes Jake. He always defended Jake about keeping silent after Heath died. That headline he wrote about Jake defending Heath isn't even supported by his own story. And if DSF wanted to create bad publicity for Jake, it seems to have backfired big-time.
Jake didn't defend Heath, we get it! There was nothing to defend him about anyway. Why does it bother you so much that Ted wrote that? It's a lousy headline, get over it. ONTD didn't even use it.

From E message board:
"I was at Garde Manger Saturday night when the whole thing went down... He did loose his temper and he did shove the girl... He was yelling and screaming and caused a whole commotion. I am sorry but if I were Jake Gyllenhaal I wouldn't go to places where people can say whatever they want if I wasn't prepared to handle it correctly. The poor girl was hysterical crying, he got right into her face and all she was doing was asking him to calm down.... He needs to learn that off set, he is just like the rest of us and he is not allowed to push and shove people around like that... it was disturbing to see such a display of power tripping.."
Sorry, I could talk about my dog all day!
Me, too. :) Too bad I can't think of how to relate it to Jake. Maybe he will make more mistakes with Atticus so we can rant. ;D
Don't forget DSF's original post "Jake Gyllenhaal is a faggot (I HATE this word) of the day". Really, that's the PR Jake's after?
Doubtful Jake's pr set this up. They are not exactly the best in the business (that would be George Clooney's team). But naturally they will defend/turn this incident to Jake's advantage however they can. Ted seems to have helped on that score.
Legal action will not go all the way to court. Imagine JG having to say he didn't shove a girl and that he's not gay.
Defamation law in the United States is much less plaintiff-friendly than its counterparts in European and the Commonwealth countries, due to the enforcement of the First Amendment. Defenses to libel that can result in dismissal before trial include the statement being one of opinion rather than fact or being "fair comment and criticism," though neither of these are imperatives on the US constitution. Truth is currently almost always a defense.
it was disturbing to see such a display of power tripping.
Wonder how this story will mutate. Probably a win for Jake unless....
If it spreads that DSF said "kiss Heath Ledger" and Jake went batshit, it makes him look like he freaked at the suggestion that he's gay. Result for Jake is: Win 70% (he must not be gay! hausfrau & Disney rejoice), Lose 30% (some gays offended)
If it spreads that DSF said "killed Heath Ledger" and Jake got mad enough to fight, Win 70% (righteous anger+macho), Lose 30% (can't hold his temper+has revealed a vulnerable point)
If it spreads that DSF said "killed Heath Ledger" and Jake went batshit-screaming-meltdown-nuts, Win 50%, Lose 50%. It reinforces the perception that Heath is a huge, bizarrely touchy, 1000% off-limits subject for Jake. Which will give rise to more speculation about why, and also give fame-seeking provacateurs more ammunition to goad Jake with. But enough people will still say he was right to get mad and give him a pass.
If it spreads that DSF said "killed Heath Ledger" and Jake went ballistic and shoved a GIRL (who did not say the provocative words), making her cry, Win 10% (some people will still defend him), Lose 90%.
My question is, why is Jake allowing Heath to become his Achilles heel. It's ridiculous.
Re the defending Heath comments. Sorry, I just came into the convo and I'm not one of the previous posters and I'm not trying to start anything up. But I was thinking that we just read the words "killed Heath" that DSF said to Jake; we didn't see DSF's facial expression or tone of voice. The way someone says something means a lot. If a stranger came up to me and for example, said the name of a friend in a sarcastic voice and/or made a face to ridicule my friend, who maybe is in the headlines (for whatever reason), whether they were still alive or not, I would take it as an offense and want to defend them. They don't have to be present in order for me to want to stand up for them and for me to make another person stop putting them down. Of course my way would be sharp words without swearing (not that I don't swear lol, it's because using them in a confrontation shows that you have lost control, and in confrontations control is the #1 weapon) or I'd ignore them to show that they and their opinions are insignificant and don't have any effect.
Anyway what I wanted to say is that we didn't hear the tone or see the accompanying facial expressions or even if DSF used any crude hand gestures like a gun to his head or choking. Something like that along with the words would piss me off. That's all.

ok 2:37pm, but Jake was not "defending" Heath. He was defending himself.
(From harassment and the accusation of killing - now kissing - Heath.)
But he already changed it 10 times so how much "true" can it be?!
Exactly.
I wonder if this situation will be what gets Jake to talk about Heath.
Jake was not "defending" Heath. He was defending himself.
Jake wasn't defending himself, he was reacting to a beyond nasty attempt to hurt his feelings.
Why do some people have a problem with "defends Heath" part? Jake and Heath's friendship was insulted, so yes, Jake was defending Heath too.
I am sorry but if I were Jake Gyllenhaal I wouldn't go to places where people can say whatever they want if I wasn't prepared to handle it correctly. The poor girl was hysterical crying, he got right into her face and all she was doing was asking him to calm down....
If true - the girl should have told her retarded friend to shut up.
Too bad this attempt by some in Jake's fandom to get him to talk about Heath blew up in their faces .

Still months from release, Disney has asked that press refrain from rendering reviews of the movie, but we're cleared to write about what we saw and post some impressions, which leads us directly to the point of today's article.
...
The action is big. The effects bigger. And the storyline just interesting enough to keep you watching. Gyllenhaal -- probably not anybody's first choice for the Prince of Persia; although, to be fair, he's a hard character to cast -- serves the role just fine. And Arterton has sex appeal to spare. This movie will surely be compared to Pirates of the Caribbean series and it shares much in common. Perhaps the only thing missing is the equivalent of Captain Jack Sparrow -- Johnny Depp's ludicrous, but unforgettable antihero. By comparison, Dastan and Tamina are straighter and side-players like Kingsley and Molina unremarkable. But the movie is well-produced and sparkling with polish from beginning to end, and we doubt any potential shortcomings will stop moviegoers from seeing it and doing their part in adding another notch to Bruckheimer's already-considerable blockbuster belt.

Hunnerd to one, DSF was hired by Bitchface to make Jake look like a drunk with a short fuse who shoves women and has Heath issues (and who dates unknown fat chicks!) so that it looks like she made the right decision of breaking up with Jake and dating her perfect, stable, mature new bf.
People support Jake (duh!), this incident won't hurt his public image.
Look how Reese trashed Ryan. IMO the stories, pics and vids of Ryan leaving clubs looking less than his best, and some encounters where someone picked a fight with him, were no accident. I honestly believe that cunt had a plan and hired people to help destroy Ryan's reputation in the public's view, and I honestly believe that she is setting her sights on Jake now. There is no way in hell she got dropped as his beard and has forgiven it and moved on. No fucking way.
Changed back to "killed":
He danced like on the bench of his table loving the attention and was throwing his arms in the air like he owned the world….I got annoyed….I couldn’t handle this ego doing his dance while acting like he was God’s gift to the world, so I decided to ask him a question….I walked up to his booth and asked the chubby girl he was making out with:
Hey isn’t that the guy who killed Heath Ledger….

LoL you have to admit it's always exciting following Jake's adventures.
Dear Ted:
I am a mixed-breed rescue dog who's hopelessly loved and spoiled by my owner. My owner says I'm the best dog ever. I know I'm reward enough, but can you throw my owner a bone (get it?) about one of your Blind Vices? My owner's a bit addicted to Blind Vices. Take your pick. All my owner asks is that it be about one of the 30 and up crowd, because she's not as familiar with the young cool stars as she used to be. Gotta go pester the (rescue) cat now.

Dear Barkin' for some Gossip:
Crotch Uh-Lastic will so beat Toothy Tile in the coming-out battle—in fact, Crotch has been been pretty much saying it in the press, if you read between the lines. Now, go give your owner a nice big poop, everyone will feel better, promise
Dear Ted:
What is your scoop on the film, Love And Other Drugs (November 2010) starring Anne Hathaway & Jake Gyllenhaal? After seeing the rough cut of this film, industry insiders on some of the movie blogs are already predicting another Oscar nomination for Ms. Hathaway. The reports say it is unbelievably sexy (much nudity between Jake & Anne), very romantic, extremely funny and little bit of a tear-jerker. They say the chemistry between this duo is incredibly hot. Please, give me some info!

Dear Movie Buff:
Wow, you must be quite the film aficionado, darling! You're right, the movie has been building a lot of buzz for both Jake and Anne, who are apparently amazing according to those who have pre-screened the movie. We love Anne and can't wait to see the movie either!
Dear Ted:
I was just reading how Reese Witherspoon has a new boyfriend already. Gee, it didn't take her long to get over Jake, now did it? I guess it wasn't such a bad breakup after all.

Dear Wrong:
No darling. Trust me. It was.
Bitch Back!
I'm not a Whiterspoon Conspiracy believer on this one.
Chin & Toothy's 3 years contract ended, that was it.
She moved on with her new photo-op tool and Jake is dealing with the good and the bad that fame brings.
All stars have to endure fake or real stories about them in magazines and the net, Jake is not an exception.

stepLINKS of the Day
So the restaurant Jake Gyllenhaal was at are denying anything happened in regards to his shoving a girl I was with, it’s good for business to defend celebrities. I kinda expected it when they kicked me out for “upsetting the celebrity”, which is exacltly what they told me, as Gyllenhaal threw his hissy fit and demanded I be kicked out, since he’s here for 6 weeks and his 1000 dollars in Vodka bottles and awkward dancing on benches is good for business….
So the girls he was with are denying anything happened, because Gyllenhaal gave them attention and maybe he will let hang with him again, until he heads home and forgets they exist.
His entourage deny cuz this is their job…but I know what happened. I know what I saw. I don’t really care whether his profession Lawyers, managers, Publicists and other keepers say it didn’t….I wasn’t the drunk one dancing on bars like a fool.
Here is the Lawyers letter….
Dear Sir,
Our law firm represents Jake Gyllenhaal. I am writing with regard to the story that appears on www.drunkenstepfather.com entitled “Jake Gyllanhaal Beats Up Girl of the Day.” As you know, since you purport to have been physically present at the time of the events in question, the story is entirely false. Specific false and defamatory statements in your story include, without limitation, the claims that he was “making out” with a girl in the restaurant, that he threatened you, and, most damaging of all, that he pushed the girl who was with you into a table at least ten times before his crew held him back and that he “pretty much hit a girl.” As you know, none of this is true, and there was no physical contact between Mr. Gyllenhaal and the girl in question – nothing that could under any interpretation be described as hitting her or shoving her. There is absolutely no excuse for this kind of irresponsible journalism.
Demand is hereby made that you immediately take down this story and all references to this story from www.drunnkenstepfather.com and from any other site or means of transmission or communication that you control and that you immediately notify all other websites and media outlets which have picked up the story from you that the story is false and must be immediately withdrawn. Your failure to immediately comply with this demand will compound the damages for which you are responsible for publishing this false story.
This letter is not intended as a complete statement of all relevant facts or a release, waver or relinquishment of any right or remedy, all of which are expressly reserved.
Here was my reply….
I was at the bar. I am friends with the girl who was pushed by Gyllenhaal numerous times. I know there is video footage of the incident and I will be releasing it as it comes in.
Nothing in my story is false. There are witnesses. Your client was completely out of control, drunk and erratic and he and his entourage are in fact the ones lying.
He has been at that bar getting drunk 5 nights the past week.
If it is necessary, I will be issuing a police report as it has come to that because you are sending me lawyers letters in regards to an experience I was a part of and witnessed where your client verbally assaulted me and my female friend, when I made no contact with him, I made a comment to the girl he was with.
In regards to the girl he was “making out with”. Deny what you want. I was there. I even know her name.
I saw what I saw. I witnessed what I witnessed and telling my story is not defamation of character, it is free press, I am allowed to say what I saw as a first hand account of the events that took place if I was in fact there…I love that they are telling me what I saw, or at least trying to tell me what I saw because rich and powerful people can create my reality if it involves their client…If he doesn’t want to be called someone who shoves girls…he shouldn’t shove girls….especially since he only lost his mind after I made a comment to a person he was with, not even directly to him…
What I can tell you is that when he got in my face I thought it was a joke…but when he hurt and scared the girl I was with for telling him to calm down and even made her cry…it was no longer that funny…
I hate how celebrities think they are above the law, that they can do what they “erase” events I witnessed, that they try to destroy the little credibility I have while using scare tactics cuz I don’t come from a rich Hollywood family…
My story is truth…his machine has more power than me…but he was the one who went nuts…and here are my stepLINKS…cuz I am bored of all the emails I am getting over this.it is so fucking boring…
This whole thing is so silly and here are my stepLINKS…
Remember – actors are professional liars…

Yeah, right.
Your client was completely out of control, drunk and erratic and he and his entourage are in fact the ones lying. He has been at that bar getting drunk 5 nights the past week.
What will be next?
he claims to know the girls name he was making out with, i thought that she was part of his "crew", if so how would he know her name? Unless he is implying that he met her there and invited her to party with him.
The girl/PA was with Jake and that means that she wouldn't go anywhere near DSF.
First Jake was drugged up, now he was drunk? He's filming, I doubt he would get shitfaced on week nights. This guy is full of shit.
He's filming, I doubt he would get shitfaced on week nights.
re. "He has been at that bar getting drunk 5 nights the past week."
Maybe DSF knows her name, but that doesn't mean that he knows her.

No doubt about that! And just because someone is dancing on a bench does not mean they are high or drunk - maybe they're just having some fun. By DSF's own admission that's what pissed him off - like it's any of his business if Jake wants to dance in public. Sounds like he's jealous of Jake to me.

He did NOT defend the memory of Heath Ledger. That's bullcrap. Jake was provoked by an ugly allegation this blogger made about his role in Heath's death. But no way can that be interpreted that he was defending Heath's honor.
Why do I think this story is NOT going to go away--at least not immediately. I wonder if the gossip mags are going to pick it up. I bet a few are investigating this.
Jake Gyllenhaal Taunted Over Heath Ledger's Death in Montreal
Reports are going around that Jake Gyllenhaal was involved in a "bar fight over Heath Ledger in Montreal over the weekend. The truth appears to be that Gyllenhaal had a blogger from DrunkenStepfather thrown out of a bar after the blogger harassed him, saying "Isn't that the guy who killed Heath Ledger?"
Blogger claims (site nsfw): "An innocent comment….that apparently he couldn’t take…so he took his acting class lessons seriously as he started screaming at chanelled the birthday he didn’t get the red bike-in my face like a role he rehearsed…he started throwing his hands in the air all while saying things like 'get the fuck out here' and 'I will break you' flailing his arms around like he meant business….but it was really a fucking joke… I laughed but the bouncers didn’t so I got escorted out after I had to pay my bill…the girl I was with was stuck inside where Gyllanhaal decided to take out his anger on her….by pushing her into the table at least once before his crew held him back….. Maybe these people aren’t used to being teased and everyone around them sucks up to them…so here he was shoving her against the table, hurting her, making her cry before his crew of handlers pulled him off her…"
E! Online clears it up: "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."
Towleroad
Too bad this attempt by some in Jake's fandom to get him to talk about Heath blew up in their faces .
Huh? Since when is DSF part of Jake's fandom?
As for Jake talking about Heath, I honestly don't care anymore. I'm glad other people paid tribute though.
He did NOT defend the memory of Heath Ledger.
Of course he did.
Someone put that nut up to asking him about Jake IMO. Someone in Jake's online fandom that is in Canada/Montreal. Only BBM obsessed fans would bring up Heath at this point and DSF ain't no fan oHeath, Jake nor BBM. I bet he was told he would get hits if he started shit.
Jake has been spotted at that place before, easy to find out if he was going to show up on Saturday.
Well he is unspooling via twitters accusing Ted of working with Jake's PR and claiming he has video and changing his story every 2 minutes. How long before he spills on how he decided to start shit with Jake.

Why does this have to be turned into some conspiracy? Some asshole blogger wants to stir up some shit and he did - you don't think a blogger already knows that he can increase hits with controversy? No one would have to tell him that.

Trolly, stop making shit up.
Heath would have hated it to be dragged into this shit. It's unfortunate. This will stick like shit to his memory when all the others (Jake, Anne, Michelle) will move on and get new attention for their films. But Heath will only be used as a joke anymore and stupid babblers will even blame Heath for all this (this stupid cows). I don't even want Heath's name mentioned by Jake anymore. I want his name mentioned in connection with his beautiful daughter, not bar fights where his name is used to provoke trouble. If Jake was a friend, he would have ingnored that fool or really defended Heath after his death when tabloids kept trashing Heath. This is just further proof that Jake is NOT a friend. I'm disgusted.
This will stick like shit to his memory
Give me a break.
Give me a break.
No, you give me a break.
Jake should mind his own business and keep away from all things Heath and his daughter who he probably doesn't even see anyway.
And all this talk "defending Heath's honor". Laughable.

Bullshit.
EVERYONE knows about Brokeback Mountain and no one needs to teach DSF how to get hits.
Ted has always hated Heath and when Heath was alive he trashed, trashed, trashed him. Now he's bringing him up in such a context.
He should be ashamed of himself.
Jake should mind his own business and keep away from all things Heath and his daughter who he probably doesn't even see anyway.
Jake IS minding his own business - his friends and his goddaughter are his business.
This is just further proof that Jake is NOT a friend.
You got it backwards. If Jake didn't care he would've ignored the remark. A lot of nasty words were thrown at him during the BBM days and he never lost his cool. Heath's death is clearly a raw subject for him.
If Jake was a friend, he would have ingnored that fool or really defended Heath after his death when tabloids kept trashing Heath. This is just further proof that Jake is NOT a friend.
Are you posting that nonsense just to provoke people who love Jake and Heath?
Jake IS minding his own business - his friends and his goddaughter are his business.
He minded because he was provoked and insulted. Like someone mentioned, if the guy said Heath was a loser junkie, Jake's reaction probably wouldn't be the same.
Jake should mind his own business and keep away from all things Heath and his daughter who he probably doesn't even see anyway.
No need to pretend you care for Heath, his memory or his daughter. What really bothers you is that Jake cares enough about him to lose his temper over that stupid "joke".
Are you posting that nonsense just to provoke people who love Jake and Heath?
No. I'm just voicing my disappointment.
See, it would be nice to read in news about Heath having a new project, not him being in connection with some bar fight. Jake will be in PoP and LAOD (is even getting some good buzz), so this'll be forgotten, but Heath will probably be mentioned in such ridiculous contexts from now on. It's making me sad.
No need to pretend you care for Heath, his memory or his daughter. What really bothers you is that Jake cares enough about him to lose his temper over that stupid "joke".
I do not pretend. I was a fan of Heath's since we both were teenagers. I became a fan of Jake much later, during BBM promo to be honest.
Like someone mentioned, if the guy said Heath was a loser junkie, Jake's reaction probably wouldn't be the same.
He would pat DSF on the back and buy him a drink because Jake is insensitive scum.

He is not insensitive scum. But he seems to be on the selfish side of life most of the time.
Oh my god, what is wrong with these last few commenters? Do you really hate Jake THAT much that you've turned this premeditated incident by a vile blogger into something Jake is responsible for?
I understand your love for Heath, but don't make this something than it is. Or isn't.
You give this DSF too much credit. NOONE takes him seriously, except that he may be a danger to himself and others. Clearly, he thinks his "world view" is shared by others in that homophobic rant he had on his blog. Jake did the right thing, telling him to get lost and asking that he be removed, because you have to stand up for something in this life. If it had been you or I, DSF wouldn't have bothered, because there's something in heckling the famous for him - attention, potential $$$, or just lunacy. I can't believe anyone is paying attention to him. Something like this isn't going to harm Heath's memory in any way. As you all say, DSF has changed his story repeatedly. He's already saying it's boring, like a child whose had enough. Now that he's been contacted by lawyers, it's suddenly become "boring" for him. Translation? The blog is coming down.
You people haven't raised children, I see. Boring means it's over.
Don't give me that "selfish side of life" crap, you are saying that Jake isn't capable of really caring about other people, aren't you?
LOL, babblers are SO transparent with their pretense to care about Heath and his memory. What a joke. They'd rather Jake be an insensitive douche than give the sightless crap about good for nothing Heath.

To Heath fans, DSF disrespected Heath's death, you can't blame Jake for getting upset. That guy could care less about Heath or Jake for that matter, he has accomplished his goal, attention.

I'm not a retarded babbler. Most of these women are pretentious assholes. Jealous and hateful towards Heath and HAPPY he is dragged into shit. If he was alive and was more successful than Jake, you could call them green eyed monsters insteasd of babblers.
Now that would be something I'd love to see, but unfortunately.
To Heath fans, DSF disrespected Heath's death, you can't blame Jake for getting upset.
That's not a Heath fan who made those comments about Jake, that's a babbler pretending to be a Heath fan. Read her posts again.
No one in their right mind would blame Jake for his reaction.
Jake Gyllenhaal Pushed a Girl?
I usually shy away from grocery checkout celebrity gossip but this Jake-Gyllenhaal-allegedly-pushing-a-girl-at-Garde-Manger story intrigued me in that usually Montrealers leave celebrities alone. We don't point and scoff within earshot in an attempt to knock someone down a few pegs, we live and let live, maybe ask for an autograph or introduce ourselves if the timing seems appropriate. Most of us can take bloated egos in stride ... someone needs to primp like a peacock? As long as no one is disrespected, ridiculed or dehumanized by said antics, let them primp all they want.
That's the Montreal way. At least I thought it was.
I don't know what really happened Saturday night at Garde-Manger, you don't know what really happened, and probably half of the people in attendance at Chuck Hughes' Food TV acclaimed restaurant are in a fog about it too. As for the others who saw and heard everything, from Gyllenhaal's entourage to onlookers to restaurant staff, well, you know how it goes. They have interests to protect and careers to boost so I expect lies will be as abundant as kernels of candour. Unless someone taped the whole altercation and/or a witness unrelated to either party fesses up -- and I hate saying this, especially as someone who's experienced mind-bending injustice because no one wanted to get involved or take a stand, a crushing reality I'm sure many of you have gone through too -- we'll never know the truth.
About.com: Montreal
franly i think this story is getting out of hand. there is no proof whatsoever anything happened at all!
i have not read anything from witnesses except DSF, which doesn't sound very reliable to begin with.
why the girl who was attacked isn't talking? where is she anyway? kidnapped by Gyllenhaal's entourage? come on peeps!
if anything of that sort happened i'm pretty sure he (Jake) would have not gotten away with it.
Russel Crowe anyone?
Well maybe Jake should send DSF a thank you note, for the most part Jake is coming out (according to some of the comments on other blogs) as an honorable dude. It also helps that DSF is a well known loser in the blog community. Just go to his site and you see that he is scum.
To Heath fans, DSF disrespected Heath's death, you can't blame Jake for getting upset.
Think what you want. IMO Jake was mostly embarrassed by that remark in front of his people and that's why he reacted that way.
And before you ask me why I'm here when I'm so critical of Jake. IDK, I guess I'm addicted to TT.
Countdown till the DSF blog comes down . . . 10, 9, 8 . . .
If he won't do it, it might be able to be done through the provider. That recently happened when someone was harassing an actress with an online blog.
Basically About.com Montreal is stating a cover up? BS.
"Think what you want. IMO Jake was mostly embarrassed by that remark in front of his people and that's why he reacted that way."
Well maybe I'm thin skin, but I would be highly upset if someone basically accused me of murder.
"Think what you want. IMO Jake was mostly embarrassed by that remark in front of his people and that's why he reacted that way."
Well maybe I'm thin skin, but I would be highly upset if someone basically accused me of murder.
So let me understand this, a blogger makes comments on his twitter page that he plans to do something to make himself famous, something that involves humiliation. Several hours later he feels he's accomplished this mission and goes on a twitter spree to any and all claiming Jake has beaten up a girl. We then read his blog and realize that he has accomplished his mission for the evening by making an assholic statement to Jake, although he claims he made the statement to a friend he (blogger) was with, but within earshot of Jake. Jake isn't a stupid man, he knows this guy is there to provoke, so before it goes any further, he asks the asshole to leave. Smart move on Jake's part I'd say.
And now, here on this blog, Jake is either selfish and/or uncaring and Heath's name should never pass his lips? And this is all a babbler's doing? Not sure I follow this logic. Is there any logic here you can explain to me?
"As for the others who saw and heard everything, from Gyllenhaal's entourage to onlookers to restaurant staff, well, you know how it goes. They have interests to protect and careers to boost so I expect lies will be as abundant as kernels of candour."
bullcrap.
why??
his entourage yes, staff possibly but i doubt it, and onlookers, all trying to defend the career/reputation of Gyllenhaal? who is he, the Pope?
besides, i don't believe that you can push a woman in a public place and the only one rebelling against it DSF, while the rest of the crowd sit on their ass.
And now, here on this blog, Jake is either selfish and/or uncaring and Heath's name should never pass his lips? And this is all a babbler's doing?
Who said that, which post?
And now, here on this blog, Jake is either selfish and/or uncaring and Heath's name should never pass his lips?
When did I say this? I would have LOVED if he paid some nice, beautiful tribute to Heath. But he chose not to.
So, instead we get all this recent crap. Nate interview, bar fight.
Now maybe some Brokies are delusional and think "wow Jake really loved Heath, defending his honor". And are BEYOND happy that Heath is mentioned in connection with Jake. But others might see it differently.
Well maybe I'm thin skin, but I would be highly upset if someone basically accused me of murder.
LOL. Right. Like this was an ACTUAL accusation of "murder." This has gotten way out of hand. It was a remark intended to get Jake pissed off and for asshole DSF to get attention for himself. That's it.
And why some have to turn this into a Jake v. Heath thing AGAIN is beyond me. That old shit should be put to rest already, along with the bullshit conspiracy theories.
Bottom line - this isn't hurting Jake and won't hurt Jake and the publicity looks like it's garnering sympathy/admiration for him. So everyone should just chill and not worry about him too much. Jake will be fine.
Jake is either selfish and/or uncaring and Heath's name should never pass his lips? And this is all a babbler's doing?
Yeah, it's a babbler pretending to give a toss about Heath's memory. She doesn't, she just wants Jake to distance himself from Heath. Her m.o. is easy to spot.

Why are you blaming Jake?
Jake did not ask Nate to mention Heath and has nothing to do with DSF's stupidity.
Jake did answer Nate's question and he did defend his friendship with Heath.
What's wrong with that?
The "defending Heath's honor" byline came from Ted C., Jake had nothing to do with that. Why not give Ted the shit?
And you say you don't want Heath's name mentioned by Jake anymore, as if he's been talking about Heath all along. Did I miss something? Nate Berkus brought up Heath. DSF brought up Heath. Take it up with them for DARING to mention Heath in the presence of Jake. Oh I know, Jake is an easy target. DSF found that out as well.
I can't say for sure what's going on in this instance, but babblers definitely have used that tactic in the past. They think they're pretty clever about it too, lol.
What tactic? If I said "yay, Jake defended Heath's honor", "he's a hero". That's what you'd like to hear, right? But sorry to say, Jake's not paying tribute, reeking was (and now this is) something that I, as follower of both actors, do not approve of. I know no one gives a shit about my opinion. I'll still voice it.

True. Ted is an idiot for turning a primitive provocation and verbal fight that followed into defending Heath's honor.

Beyond happy? Please point out some of the posts that say that. Why would the idea that Jake cared about Heath enough to lose his temper over that joke bother you? I guess you'd rather believe Jake couldn't stand his guts.

You're totally confused. No, I don't think Jake was a hero. Jake has never paid tribute, so why would I want to hear that? Reeke was pathetic and transparent.
My post was agreeing that certain babblers make phony posts pretending to care about Heath, but the real purpose is to try and trash him. They've done it in the past - that's they're "tactic." If you can't follow what's going on - don't post.
Reeke is over. Move on.
You can't really know who's a babbler making Heath comments and who isn't. The "tactic" of which you speak could be employed by anyone. You sound slightly paranoid.
no way can that be interpreted that he was defending Heath's honor.
10:20 AM how old are you, 12? You sure have a lot to learn about honor, loyalty and respect.
If you can't follow what's going on - don't post.
There sure are babblers who pretend to care about Heath, but in fact are latent haters. But I can assure you, I'm not. And I will post whenever and as long as I want to and discuss whatever I want. Jackie decides what she wants to stay as a post and what not.
Why would the idea that Jake cared about Heath enough to lose his temper over that joke bother you?
I was just saying that I disagree with the "defending honor" part. And that I see him losing his temper as a reaction to an obvious provocation and out of emabarrassement because of the people who were there with him.
We obviously see it differently and have to agree to disagree.
Ted is an idiot for turning a primitive provocation and verbal fight that followed into defending Heath's honor.
Read other comments (ONTD, tweets) - Jake was defending Heath's honor.
You can't really know who's a babbler making Heath comments and who isn't. The "tactic" of which you speak could be employed by anyone. You sound slightly paranoid.
jfc, does anyone bother to actually read and follow a thread? I SAID you can't tell who's a babbler and who isn't - I was just agreeing with another poster that babblers have done it in the past. That's not paranoia, it's having a freaking conversation. And you're not the thought police, so stop telling people to "move on." I wasn't the one who brought up Reeke. Try reading the posts.

First, I have my own opinion, I don't care what others say. Second, the tweets are basically repeating the headline Ted made up.
ONTD posters agree with Jake's reaction caused by an obvious provocation by a jealous trouble maker. And most agree that the "joke" was not funny, which it wasn't.
And I will post whenever and as long as I want to and discuss whatever I want.
It makes it hard to have a conversation if you post without actually reading what people write.

Other comments are just that: comments, one person's opinion. From what we have read there was no Heath-defending. The guy got up in Jake's face with a provocative comment and Jake had him removed. End of.
why the girl who was attacked isn't talking? where is she anyway?
I ate her.
the publicity looks like it's garnering sympathy/admiration for him.
Plus it makes me look tough and straight and I make out with girls!
^^Oh the horror.
We don't know what was really said, we have only the (dubious) word of DSF. Maybe there was more to it, that provoked Jake. At least Jake wasn't provoked further, he handled it the right way IMO.

Of course not, there is no way Jake could care about Heath. Jake might have friends, but he could never, ever be Heath's friend.
Plus it makes me look tough and straight and I make out with girls!
Only babblers believe making out with a girl part, lol.
Talking about the incident at hand, darlin'. Not in general. Let's stay on topic and not try to twist my words around. kthnx.
All the info we have, granted, comes from DSF, only states he made that provocative remark, followed by Jake shoving/hitting/who knows, and then having him tossed out of the restaurant.
Still not sure how Jake was supposed to defend Heath's honor at that joke. As for reacting out of embarrassment, I don't think so, some really awful words have been yelled at him in the past because of BBM and he always ignored them, didn't allow those idiots to get a rise out of him with their insults. This was different because it's a sore issue with Jake.
Gyllenhaal Gets Ledger Insult in Montreal
"Isn't that the guy who killed Heath Ledger?" asked a blogger who approached Brokeback Mountain star Jake Gyllenhaal in Montreal Saturday night
Jake Gyllenhaal withstood an insult about his late Brokeback Mountain costar Saturday night when a blogger approached his entourage in a Montreal restaurant and asked, “Isn’t that the guy who killed Heath Ledger?”
According to E! Online, Gyllenhaal and some friends were dancing on the bench of their table at Garde-Manger when an annoyed blogger from a celebrity gossip site called DrunkenStepfather approached and issued the taunt, which prompted the actor to ask bouncers to eject him.
The story grows complicated because the blogger at first contended that he used the word “kissed,” not “killed.” He also alleged that Gyllenhaal pushed his female companion, but witnesses dispute that.
E! offers what it believes to be the actual version of events in Montreal:
“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.
“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 Gyllenhaal Fights For Heath Ledger’s Honor
You mess with the bull, you get the horns
There are a couple of conflicting reports going around about an alleged altercation in Montreal, Canada that involved actor Jake Gyllenhaal over the weekend. On the one hand, a blogger who goes by the name DrunkenStepfather alleges that Jake assaulted a female friend of his after said blogger made a comment about Jake “kissing” the late Heath Ledger. On the other hand, an impartial third party witness clarifies that the comment made was not about “kissing” Heath but rather “killing” him and Jake — very obviously angry — merely called for the ejection of said blogger and his friends. I’ve had some personal dealings with this blogger and I can absolutely believe that he made the “killing” joke in the attempt to illicit a response from Gyllenhaal. Here’s a report from E! that details the whole disgusting scenario:
(...)
I’m telling you, I absolutely believe that the “killing” comment was made (and I do believe the story posted on his blog was changed in order to backtrack). This blogger has made a “career” out of writing some of the most outrageous things possible in order to offend in any way possible … I mean, that’s his shtick. It’s not the sort of thing that I endorse but I can understand that is a niche market that can entertain some people. To make an outrageous comment concerning the death of a friend is to absolutely ask for a response like this … so I’m not sure what the surprise is. Whatever actually went down, I’m certain that Jake was very happy to defend the honor of his late friend … and this blogger is prolly very much enjoying the attention his comment has garnered. It remains to be seen if this is the last we’ll hear of this story … but I wouldn’t be surprised if some sort of legalness comes from this verbal altercation. We shall see.

Gyllenhaal Gets Ledger Insult in Montreal
This made me lol, like "Gyllenhaal gets a present in Montreal".
Where is Michelle? Why is she hiding Matilda? I wonder if Heath had a boy if he'd look as much like him as that little girl?
A boy would look like Michelle :)
Gyllenhaal gets a present in Montreal"
I did! Many of them, all fresh and homemade with love.
Jake Gyllenhaal Fights For Heath Ledger’s Honor
LOL. Get a load of the picture of Jake PITNB used. Hilarious. Ted started this "defending Heath's honor" bullshit - but who ever said it wouldn't go any further was so wrong. That's the theme that's now being spread.
A boy would look like Michelle :)
Probably.
All credible mags are reporting on it, telling it like it is. They are calling it a taunt, making DSF look like the homophobe he is. PITNB has been harassed by him, he says.
^^sorry, or seems to be aware that DSF has done this kind of thing before.
Get a load of the picture of Jake PITNB used.

*cough* Gotta admit - not hating this.
Ted, Towleroad, The Advocate, PITNB - credible sources all - they don't take kindly to homophobes. I never thought I'd see the day when WFT2 bloggers would defend the side of a homophobe. Must be in the name of free speech, eh? Well sorry, libel and slander are not protected under the First Amendment.

WTF are you talking about? Wait...instead of posting an answer why don't you use your time to register for a reading comprehension course instead.

You are talking so much nonsense it's unbelieveable. What DSF did was wrong and everyone exposed him as fame whore that he is. The only thing that's not the case, IMO, is Jake defending Heath. That is all!
Nice try.
"unfortunate looking" is a quote from Reese's character Elle
"Unfortunate looking" is a very, very common phrase.
1:37, you are so full of shit. And, btw, your post is a perfect example of the kind of phony bullshit "I never thought I'd see the day ..." tactic babblers try to fool everyone with. You know damn well no one here is defending libel or slander and no one is defending DSF.
Go back to babblers and DC forum where this kind of crap is eaten up. We've got your number.
Nice try.
Come on. Don't you know by now that whenever you post a reply without a quote that other comments will cut in front of yours and make your comment look like a fifth wheel?!!
We've got your number
And it's 666.
Now the tagline suddenly became "Jake defending Heath's honor"
Only weeks after the awckward momet with that pseudo-reporter guy at the Oscars and the fact that it made people remember Jake's silent when Heath died...
This is starting to sound like Jake's PR...

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this DSF crap has a connection to the bitter former beard.
"Jake defending Heath's honor"
For people here arguing about it, maybe first you each need to present your definition of "defend" and "honor". I'm not being sarcastic - I think that's where the problem is, how people have different ideas of what they mean. Just sayin.
This is starting to sound like Jake's PR...
LOL
We've got your number

LOL.
"You people haven't raised children, I see. Boring means it's over."
Boring means DSF knows he's in legal trouble for assault and he's trying to get out of it now.
6:54, Um...they were in Australia...sadly. Big difference.
Ted updated the post:
Update: Just in case our item wasn't clear enough, here are some more choice words from Gyllenhaal's rep about that alleged bar incident:
"Our client is taking such strong and immediate action because of the seriousness of the issue behind the allegation. He would never harm a woman, or touch a woman in anger. Such behavior is not only criminal, but personally abhorrent to him."
The Awful Truth
The poor girl was hysterical crying, he got right into her face and all she was doing was asking him to calm down....
No deal. She was with a guy who had just committed assault. She was in no position to "ask anybody to calm down."
IMHO:
Stupid gossip blogger mentions Heath in a disrespectful way
+
Jake makes a big fuss about it
=
Jake is defending Heath's memory
Sounds a little bit of Jake's PR to me but I'm sure others may think different
or touch a woman in anger.
LoL when I first read that I thought it said he would never touch a woman.
Me too. :D
I never thought I'd see the day when WFT2 bloggers would blah blah blah
LOL, hello UV, planting your lies again.
LOL, hello UV, planting your lies again.

LoL when I first read that I thought it said he would never touch a woman.
Especially when combined with "but personally abhorrent to him."

You forget about Jake being called an arrogant woman beater, a fag**t, drugged up, etc by that jerk.
"Our client is taking such strong and immediate action because of the seriousness of the issue behind the allegation. He would never harm a woman, or touch a woman in anger. Such behavior is not only criminal, but personally abhorrent to him."
Awwwww :)
I wonder what Atticus was doing when this all went down. Sleeping? Gnawing on a bone? Scratching his belly?!
Watching porn.
Animal porn! lol
LOL, hello UV, planting your lies again.
Bingo!! She's planting them over at OMG, too, lol.
