When River got more praise for MOPI there was no jealousy on Keanu's side. Both guys were unspoiled and good hearted. True friends. Not just wishful thinking from countless shippers/MOPI fans.
"You can’t blame Hollywood for what happened to River, kids are doing drugs everywhere in the world. He had his own very personal problems - I will never discuss them with the press - they’re just way too personal. River had a self-destructive side to his Personality. He was angry and hurt that he couldn’t have a private life once he became famous. He just couldn’t deal with having his private life on the front page all the time."
But John Barrowman is the first and only actor who has come out as gay and enjoys leading man status — his fame, though, depends on television. Hollywood may yet change its arthritic state of mind about sexual orientation, but first the world will need to alter a little more too.
What's kinda great about tabloids is they still write breaking news on stars nobody cares about anymore, or even stars—like Clark Gable—who've been dead almost 50 years. In Globe (March 29, 2010), excerpts from the book Clark Gable: Tormented Star claim the Gone With the Wind cad was bisexual and "took male lovers" (more of that amazing antique language the 'bloids are so goo at) as well as female to further his career.
I think there should be a moratorium on articles about HW and the closet talking about Rupert. It was years ago, he has the reputation of being a huge diva and being difficult to work with, and his acting in movies sucked.
HW should pay him for being the poster boy they can all point to keep everyone else in the closet.
I think there should be a moratorium on articles about HW and the closet talking about Rupert.
Amen. Rupert has problems in HW that have nothing to do with being gay.
But all of this:
...especially a romantic leading man with big box-office clout, you still need to conceal your sexual orientation. ... “You really can't afford to come out if you're trying to be or have become a romantic male lead in film.” ....but they will keep a vow of silence, if only on the grounds that they believe disclosure would affect the man's box-office potential and their profits.
will keep Toothy way back in the closet until and unless he decides that A-list leading man status and box office don't matter to him - or he decides that by coming out he can be the one that really starts to turn the tide.
Q: If you were a young, handsome, talented actor with serious leading-man potential, would you come out? If so, when? And how? Would you take one tack in the late 00's, but a different one in the early 00's, and yet another different one in the 90's? And how involved would you get in gay politics? I realize that's a bunch of questions, but I just wanted to know if, having spent so many years observing and analyzing gay celebrities, you'd come up with some kind of ideal "game plan" for celebrity outings. — Sam, Denver, CO
A: Sam, what a fascinating question! Or I should say, questions.
Would I come out? Well, I kinda did, in 1999, in my career as a YA novelist. I could’ve not written about gay themes or listed my male partner in the bio of even my non-gay books. Many, many gay authors do this, and frankly, I think if I had, my career might’ve been better off. I got a lot of attention when my books were banned or challenged (we even once made USA Today!), but I also lost a lot of sales and speaking gigs in red states and public schools, and none of my books, even the non-gay ones, were ever considered for "mainstream" book clubs, which is where a lot of authors make a substantial portion of their income.
But I never even considered not coming out. Then again, I’ve always seen myself as an "outsider," so I don’t know how much credit I get for not going along with the crowd. And being an author is very different than being an actor, especially one who aspires to "leading man" status.
First, it must be said that after working in entertainment journalism for many years, I would never want to be a celebrity — not for $50 million, not for anything. For my perspective, it looks like absolutely the worst job in the world: a grueling grind in a snotty, unforgiving world and where "success" is usually completely out of your control. And don't get me started on the lack of privacy and the sycophantic, fair-weather "friends."
But what if I was leading actor material and acting was dream? It’s easy for me to say, but I’d like to think I’d still come out. But would it depend on the decade?
You be it would! The 80s? Forget it. That's a non-starter. It would've been impossible to be an openly gay leading man in the 1980s — I know, I was there.
The early 90s? Frankly, probably not. Still really, really difficult, and a guy's gotta eat.
The mid-90s or early 00s? Maybe, but probably only after I’d established myself and was comfortably rich, in case my career all came crashing down in a very likely gay-related backlash.
And then there’s now. Like the new generation of actors that includes Scott Evans, Nick Adams, and Cheyenne Jackson, I don't think I'd ever be in.
As I wrote two weeks ago regarding Sean Hayes, I honestly think we're reaching a point where, all things considered, being "out" is more beneficial to a career than being in — at least if you're involved in any cutting-edge, gay-related projects. And if we're not quite there yet, we will be in a few short years, so why not ride that wave?
In the 1960s, African American actors like Bill Cosby and Diahann Carroll broke major barriers by starring in their own TV shows (I Spy and Julia, respectively), and Sidney Poitier starred as the lead in motion pictures. They also contributed to major advances in civil rights. Obviously, most African Americans don't have a choice whether or not to hide their minority membership, so the comparison isn't exactly the same.
But the point is, Cosby, Carroll, and Poitier didn't just become respected actors; they became cultural and civil rights icons (deservedly, because of all the racist bull**** they had to put up with).
Anyway, I think we've reached a point where the same thing will be true of first widely successful openly gay leading actor. He'll be both a leading man and an instrument for major social change — and his career will ultimately be better off, much like Ellen DeGeneres and Neil Patrick Harris (who are close, but not quite the kind of "leading actors" I'm talking about).
And how would I come out? In an interview with AfterElton.com, of course!
My truthful answer is that I would answer all questions asked of me — none of that intelligence-insulting nonsense about not talking about my "personal" life (all actors talk about some aspects of their personal lives, and simply acknowledging you're gay isn't all that personal anyway).
If "the" question came later in my career, once I was "established," I would answer it and then do a single follow-up interview, but then (as much as it pains me to say this as a journalist) I wouldn't do another interview of any kind for six months. I also wouldn't be overtly involved in gay political causes for at least a year. This would allow me to be out and allow audiences to assimilate that fact, but also keep it from overwhelming my career.
Maybe this answer is all too crass and calculated for you. But hey, we're talking about people's dreams and livelihoods. I think that's something some of us sometimes forget.
geoffboucher: Gearing up for WonderCon: I'll interview Nic Cage, Jake Gyllenhaal, Darwyn Cooke & others on stage -- also moderating a big surprise panel 3 minutes ago
Alec Baldwin, who once had a feud with Page Six -- we made up -- is now at war with Mike Walker of the National Enquirer. The day before he co-hosted the Oscars, Baldwin -- angry at Walker for reporting he'd screamed at Tina Fey on the set of "30 Rock" -- told the Times of London the veteran columnist was a "whore" and a "queen." Walker vents in this week's Enquirer: "Here's my headline: 'Alec Baldwin -- Raging Closet HOMOPHOBE!' Grab your pitchforks and torches, Hollywood -- the monster lurks among ye!"
Baldwin, who says he never screamed at Fey, doesn't seem to be afraid of a gay backlash. He told us yesterday, "Yes, he [Walker] is a goat-footed, wheezy, old queen, and all my male lovers agree with me." Walker states, "Just for the record: I am not gay, as my wife will attest. Right honey? . . . HONEY?? Hey Alec: Stay tuned."
And if we're not quite there yet, we will be in a few short years, so why not ride that wave?
I wish Toothy had the courage to MAKE the fucking wave!! imo, that would show he had real balls and real strength - not the phony kind of "strength" represented by PoP muscles.
Jake certainly has not demonstrated the courage it would take to be the first lead actor to come out. Just the opposite. He went so far as to embarrass himself faking a relationship that anyone with an IQ over 80 could see was a sham.
^^ Agreed. That's why it's just a wish and not anything I can see as really happening :( God, Reeke was embarrassing wasn't it - sometimes it seems like it couldn't have actually happened it was so transparent.
That's why it's just a wish and not anything I can see as really happening
Of course it won't happen anytime soon. Probably when he's old and grey he'll come out, like in most other cases. It's still fun waiting for Toothy... till we get bored in a few years or earlier. ;)
Unless he can't stand the pressure and hypocrisy and starts drinking to excess, doing drugs, having unsafe sex and dies of an overdose, AIDS, or hanging himself within the next 10 years.
Unless he can't stand the pressure and hypocrisy and starts drinking to excess, doing drugs, having unsafe sex and dies of an overdose, AIDS, or hanging himself within the next 10 years.
I think Jake is too concerned for his health to risk addiction or practicing unsafe sex. He even alluded to being a hypohondriac in one of his Letterman interviews.
I wonder if Bullock and Tiger Woods' wives asked their husbands if they used condoms while cheating? What if they didn't and got some STDs from the skanks they cheated with and maybe contracted the wives too? How awful would that be?
^^Who knows what diseases these mostly promiscuous celebs all have? And I bet many deluded fans would still consider doing it with them w/o condom. How sick!
christine426: I think I just creeped out the UPS guy when I said, "Awwww, yeah" over the latest Jake Gyllenhall poster for Prince of Persia. #Awkward about 1 hour ago
Jesse James says he's sorry for the pain and embarrassment he's caused his wife Sandra Bullock and his three children from previous relationships. James told People magazine in a statement Thursday that he exhibited "poor judgment" and "I deserve everything bad that is coming my way."
"Wouldn't surprise me if the cheating boys occasionally were in a hurry and forgot about protection."
Ok. So they don't have to wear protection with their skanks.But,at least, wear it with the wives!!!! If men want to get sick,so let them...just don't get the wifey contaminated
Hey why Lance Armstrong for Sandy, I know she use to live with Matthew but still. I think Keanu would be good but he just seems like he would take sex or leave it.
Ok. So they don't have to wear protection with their skanks.But,at least, wear it with the wives!!!! If men want to get sick,so let them...just don't get the wifey contaminated
Video, Photos, Report - Lt. Dan Choi and Cpt. Jim Pietrangelo Arrested
said...
Developing...
Lt. Dan Choi, Captain Jim Pietrangelo, and activist Robin McGehee of GetEQUAL were arrested earlier today following a "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" rally thrown by the Human Rights Campaign which featured Kathy Griffin.
While different versions of events are being offered (see bottom of post), Lt. Choi spoke at the rally and asked participants to join him on a march to the White House. Choi led hundreds of people from the rally to the White House where he and Cpt. Pietrangelo cuffed themselves to the fence while the crowd rallied around them. Shortly thereafter Choi and Pietrangelo were cut from the fence and arrested by police. During the minutes leading up to their arrest, activist Robin McGehee of GetEQUAL was also arrested.
Kerry eleveld of the Advocate reports, in a Tweet, that Choi and Pietrangelo are being held in jail overnight and will appear tomorrow in court: "Police Spokes says Choi/Pietrangelo will be held overnight and appear tomorrow in DC superior court."
Paris Barclay is “Glee” - full About the Future of Gay Visibility
said...
While you might not know the name Paris Barclay, you almost certainly know his work as a director, especially if the show has been on for more than one season. Barclay has directed episodes for In Treatment, Glee, Weeds, Will & Grace, and The West Wing just to name a small fraction of his output. And Glee fans should note that Barclay directed “Wheels,” one of last season’s most popular episodes.
For his efforts, Barclay has won both Emmys and Directors Guild Awards and been nominated a slew of times. He’s also very much an advocate for GLBT visibility, especially for people of color who are still sorely under-represented at almost every level of Hollywood. Indeed, it was after attending a Television Critics Association panel on diversity in television that AfterElton.com had the chance to catch up with Barclay on his wide ranging career, his thoughts on where GLBT visibility stands and how much he likes the word “husband.” ... AE: Is it as simple as Americans are still afraid of gay male sexuality? PB: Yeah, pretty much. They're so uncomfortable with it. When I did the pilot Hate about hate crimes for Showtime, I probably made a miscalculation in making the first story revolve around gay people, because it was actually so in your face it probably hurt it. I probably should have just done a nice Hassidic Jew bashing or something that would have been more broadly appealing. [laughs] I think America is generally uncomfortable with it still, certainly with the sexuality part. Not so much the comedy, but with the sexuality.
AE: It seems like it's especially men who have that discomfort. We have a lot of women readers on the site who are so into gay male sexuality. PB: Men are definitely uncomfortable with it, and I think many of the people writing the shows are uncomfortable with writing that story as well. That's why you don't see it generally happening in mainstream drama where there's some kind of gay romance, because it's like, "Oh gosh, I don't want to have to do that."
AE: So you're saying it's not just the American audience, it's also the writing. PB: Yes, it's also the writing. ... AE: During the panel, you mentioned your husband which I'm still not used to hearing. I was talking to a writer from Brothers & Sisters, and he introduced himself and started talking and he said, "Oh my husband and I..." It seemed very deliberate when you said it and I love that you refer to him that way. PB: I love saying it, and I had to figure out some way to bring it up on the panel.
AE: It's normalizing things. PB: Exactly. And a couple of years from now you're going to stop having that feeling.
Paris Barclay is “Glee” - full About the Future of Gay Visibility
said...
AE: There was a lot of talk in 2009 from industry people about the closet and whether actors should come out, and I've certainly talked to enough publicists where you can tell they are being cagey. Or even talking to probably gay actors who don’t want to address it. What do you think is keeping more actors from coming out? PB: I often get asked, "What should I do?" by actors I know who are gay because I've directed them. I really have to go on a case-by-case basis. I basically ask them a series of questions: What kind of career they want, how comfortable they feel about telling the truth versus lying in every single interview for the rest of their lives, are they in a relationship that matters to them that they would feel uncomfortable concealing or revealing. These are the choices they have to make.
The number one choice is what kind of career do they want, because I believe if you're a young actor and you come out, it will limit the number of roles and the kinds of roles you're going to get. That's just unfortunately the sad fact of how it is. You're not going to get all the roles that would come to you otherwise. They're just not going to come to you. Because in those private little rooms where we do casting and we make our list, someone's going to say, "Oh, but so-and-so's gay. I don't want that," and they'll get crossed off. I think there's definitely a down side.
However, if you're a character actor, you're comfortable not being a romantic lead, you don't see yourself as someone who's going to live your life in movies all the time, you're comfortable on television, it's more important to you to have a relationship that's public and accepted and be able to bring that person places, then that's your choice.
AE: Do you think it's getting better for the romantic lead? I don't know if you watch 30 Rock, but Cheyenne Jackson... PB: I love Cheyenne. We're trying to get him onto Glee, too.
AE: He was on 30 Rock, and you've got Neil Patrick Harris on How I Met Your Mother. It is improving from ten years ago, isn't it? PB: It's improving somewhat, but I still think there are probably decisions made before it gets to their desk that eliminates them and reduces their opportunities. I really do. I think there's probably people saying, "I love Neil Patrick Harris but I don't see him playing opposite Katherine Heigl in this movie," so Neil Patrick Harris never gets that call.
In television, perhaps there a little bit of a greater opportunity because it's a smaller screen. In features, the homophobia is so strong that I'm sure it limits people's potential. You have to think about that. You have to weigh it. I do think it's great when some people put away all the math and the arcane systems and just say, "Hey, I want to be who I am." And I say, "Okay. Great!"

Nope, Jakey is no innocent, which is Reason No. 849 that Reeke looked so pathetically fake and absurd. ffs, who did they think they were fooling? Oh, wait. I know.
BI posted on the DL. People are guessing Anne for the coke one. It's not the first time I heard that Anne was a coke head. You would think they would learn after Heath, bith Anne and Kiki who is also still using:

Actually, yea that's kind of a good comparison, it is very messy like Michael Bay. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Rather mediocre, unfortunately.
I'm speaking as the sister of a recovered cokehead and the best friend of a recovered cokehead
Also not 10:33. Sorry for your sister and friend and glad they recovered from addiction. But I know a lot of people who did coke during uni and are not at all cokeheads now. Some can't have a cig without becoming heavy smokers or eat cookies without bingeing. Others smoke at parties have one cookie and that's about it. I also don't get why parents and old people freak over mj and coke but not alcohol. Alcohol and DUIs kill waayyy more people.
Good alcohol with good food is great. But it's true, esp. young people seem to abuse it and so many youngsters get killed driving drunk.
As for drugs, I was never into that. I don't find it cool or hip or anything. It has a great potential making you addictive. Snorting some shit or injecting it, no thanks. Why would I do it? To feel better? There are better and more healthy ways.
I'm glad I was/still am not one of the people thinking drugs are cool. I kind of feel sorry for people who do.
I'm glad I was/still am not one of the people thinking drugs are cool. I kind of feel sorry for people who do.
Alcohol's a drug. Wine is a mind-altering substance. Old people's legal drugs of choice get a pass from you, is that it? I think wine is fine but sorry Aunt Betty, good pot with good sex is fiiiiiine.
Brokeback Mountain Stars Lead Early 2011 Oscars Race
said...
BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN stars JAKE GYLLENHAAL, MICHELLE WILLIAMS and ANNE HATHAWAY are the frontrunners to score big at the Oscars in 2011, according to the leading Academy Awards race website.
The three stars are all tipped to claim leading actor and actress Oscars nominations for the films Blue Valentine and love & other Drugs.
Experts at the Los Angeles Times newspaper’s The Envelope blog also tips Angelina Jolie, Ben Stiller and Michael Douglas for Oscars gold for their roles in Salt, Greenberg and Wall Street: Money never Sleeps. Douglas won a Best Actor Oscar for his role as Gordon Gekko in the original Wall Street movie.
The film experts also predict troubled moviemaker Roman Polanski will be among the Best Director favourites for his film The Ghost Writer – even though he’s fighting extradition from Switzerland to America for sentencing in a 32-year-old sex assault case.
And the early favourites for Best Film, according to the website, are Danny Boyle’s new movie 127 Hours, The Kids Are Alright, Brad Pitt and Sean Penn’s The Tree of Life, Inception, western remake True Grit, Clint Eastwood’s The hereafter and Johnny Depp’s movie adaptation of his late pal Hunter S. Thompson’s The Rum Diary.

Prince of Persia First Reactions – ShoWest 2010
said...
The reactions are pouring in from the first screening of Disney’s Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. The movie premiered at ShoWest and plenty of people are blazing the world of Twitter with their instant reactions to the film. Fans of the video game have thrown in their two cents as well as people who wanted to see if it lived up to the hype. Well, it’s time for Prince of Persia to be put on the chopping block so here it is…
For the most part, it sounds like people had high expectations for this film, which I believe was their first mistake. The majority of these tweets are comments of frustration and disappointment. This begs the question, did we all see the same trailers that have been gracing the internet for the past few months? Prince of Persia doesn’t look like the savior of the video game genre, hell it looks borderline campy!
The general consensus here is that the movie is mediocre, and that sounds like an accurate assessment. Just because Jake Gyllenhaal is doing backflips in the desert in the middle of a Jerry Bruckheimer film doesn’t mean it’s the be all, end all of action movies.
Here’s what we’re hearing through the grapevine so far…
■ SvenRump: Prince of Persia: a rollicking good time. Swords & Sandals 2010 Bruckheimer Style ■ Slashfilm: Feeling let down by Prince of Persia. The production design, cinematography, costume design all amazing. But the plot, characters and casting is kind of a mess. ■ FirstShowing: Prince of Persia was good, not great, pretty much exactly what I expected. It moved VERY quickly but was still long. Not enough parkour. I like the plot, but there’s so much going on it was confusing at times, felt a little rushed and messy, but wasn’t bad. Just good I guess. ■ Schofizzy: No surprise that PRINCE OF PERSIA: SANDS OF TIME looks cool and that’s about it. ■ mattign: Just saw Prince of Persia. Fun movie. ■ bitmobshoe: Prince of Persia movie is a lot of mindless, summer blockbuster fun. The expected cliches were out in full force though. ■ entoncesmn: Prince of Persia is big and loud and and action-filled but all that didn’t make the story better.
It sounds like a typical, middle of the road summer movie to me. I’ll probably still go see it because I never put it up on a pedestal to begin with. My expectations for it have been pretty low since day one.
Just because Jake Gyllenhaal is doing backflips in the desert in the middle of a Jerry Bruckheimer film doesn’t mean it’s the be all, end all of action movies.
Not doing a drug apology here but there are actually plenty of people who do cocaine and they know how to keep it under control..just saying.
****
Not 10:33 but IA with them. There's recreational drug use and then there's addiction; they are 2 different things.
Now I've seen everything. One mention of a possibility of Anne Hathaway doing coke and that brings out explanations and excuses, possibly even a bit of acceptance.
Is it not possible to like a star and yet not approve or endorse every little thing that star does?
I'm sure there are quite a few addicted folks who once started out thinking it was just going to be "recreational".
Those reactions to PoP sounds pretty much like I expected. Had to lol at this : Swords & Sandals 2010 Bruckheimer Style, though, since Disney has been trying to make a point that NO ONE WEARS SANDALS!!!! Even Jake tried to make that point at the Oscars when he was talking to Seacrest. They must think that not wearing sandals elevates the movie somehow.
Alcohol's a drug. Wine is a mind-altering substance. Old people's legal drugs of choice get a pass from you, is that it? I think wine is fine but sorry Aunt Betty, good pot with good sex is fiiiiiine.
There are many, many people, like me, who drink alcohol every now and then, but can control it, don't become addicted to it (I think you can much easier become addicted to coke, heroin, crack, etc.). As for pot, I'm fine with that, as long as you don't drive stoned. But I'm not interested in trying it.
I'm not a fan of coke or heroin or pills or whatnot. If that makes me a prude in your eyes, I don't care.
Saw a preview tonight. Really, really good. Plenty of nudity from the leads....always thought of Anne as too skinny, but yowza! Quite the tear-jerker, yet finds time to be charming and funny. Anne Hathaway was totally off my radar but I was totally in love from the 1st wild sex scene. Lots of Jake whoring around too. The brother was a poor man's Jonah Hill, but he was quite entertaining in the end. Some pretty gross moments, especially one involving a sex video but it really made me laugh. Judy Greer of Arrested Development was cool in a small role as a naughty nurse. Story of a sales rep for Viagra who falls for a beautiful artist with (no spoiler here). Well paced, well acted and well written.
Anne Hathaways bf, Follieri, was a coke head too. I read he wants her to take him back when he leaves prison. I wonder if she really was as oblivious to his criminal doings, like stealing money from charity for sick children? But since I believe in karma, nothing can stay unrevenged. Since Anne seems to be doing fine professioally and personally and karma didn't bite her in the ass, she probably really was oblivious.
I cannot believe HOW ANYONE can condone the use of cocaine. It's wrong. Not ifs, ands and buts. And yes, if that makes me a prude, I don't give a shit. It's WRONG. Just like stealing is wrong. Just like cheating on your spouse is wrong. It's wrong. That's it.
Back to PoP: "Actually, yea that's kind of a good comparison, it is very messy like Michael Bay. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Rather mediocre, unfortunately." Sigh. Well, I'm sure the film will make a lot of money but honestly, we all knew the film was cheesy just by the trailers. But hey, Jake wanted to be in a blockbuster so he's in one.
Grannies? Give me a break! Everyone, you included, can do whatever you want, use whatever drug you want. As long as you don't endanger others with your behaviou, it's fine. My personal choice is to stay away from drugs and enjoy life w/o. If I decide to have kids one day, I will definitely make sure my co-parent is not a drug user (neither violent nor alcoholic as well of course).
Some drugs can kill you. Some are not even worth trying. Some are a lot of fun, so talk to me first.

"I celebrated my 63rd birthday and got blood tests and saw a nutritionist. I want to do a pre-emptive strike on whatever is building up in me, so I'm travelling with this dehydrated green stuff and red stuff and cutting out all sugar and all liquor. I rarely drink, so that wasn't hard. The bad one was bread. I love bread. I cheat sometimes. When I did the play [Exit the King on Broadway] I got run down and was drinking serious caffeine, so I needed to clean up my act. I'm very susceptible to drugs of every kind. Coffee, it's great because it gets me very up, but then I crash."
I tell her I find coffee comforting. She surmises authoritatively: "You are probably someone who takes Ritalin to calm them."
When she says drugs have such an effect on her, what kind of drugs does she mean? "I mean anything! I'm not really interested in drinking. Tequila maybe, but champagne makes me fall asleep. It doesn't take much. I love mushrooms and I've done those successfully, but I don't like anything chemical. I didn't like LSD, and ecstasy wouldn't agree with me. I like stuff you can smoke."
I tell her that the stuff you smoke makes me paranoid and depressed. "Oh, that's sad," she says in a heartfelt way, as if she's running through all the good times that I'll never have. "Everyone is wired differently. Some people can do stuff that others can't. That's what I told my kids. Some drugs can kill you. Some are not even worth trying. Some are a lot of fun, so talk to me first."
Cheating - it's not (only) a moral issue, it's also dangerous to cheat or being cheated on. What if your partner doesn't use protection (condoms)? It's important to trust your parter that if he cheats to use protection. If he got the HI- or Hepatitis C Virus or other STDs and contraced me, I'd kill him for that. Not because he cheated and hurt my feelings (If it was just that, I'd throw him out and end of story), but because the fucker ruined my life. He'd be dead (much earlier than the disease would have killed him).
Some are not even worth trying. Some are a lot of fun, so talk to me first."
Should I think she's a cool, modern mom now? I don't. I will teach my kids how dangerous drugs are.
I did have the opportunity to smoke pot at uni parties, but I guess I hung out with people who weren't interested in it either. And it was always still fun. Again, pot is still less dangerous and not really comparable to hard drugs. It's something I'm ok with, but I'm not interested trying it.
That's your opinion. I'm glad my parents teached me about the dangers of drug use. Once you are addicted to some heavy stuff, it's difficult to get out of the vicious circle and it could end fatal.
I will express my opinion, whether you like it or not.
Absolutely, just don’t be surprised when people call you on it. Lecturing from sanctimonious types is the last thing some of us are interested in on a gossip blog.
Aw, come on, 9:11#1, maybe English isn't his/her first language.
It's not. I reread my post and I saw the mistake (maybe there are more, idk), I should have used the adverbial form of fatal at the end of the sentence...fatally. Right?
You can't equate smoking pot (which may become legalized) with snorting cocaine, which is not good (and this is coming from a product of the late 1980s/early 1990s NYC party scene) Anything once in a while is...okay. But snorting cocaine (just like smoking pot--and I love pot) on a regular basis is BAD NEWS. Cocaine is derived from the same opiate that produces heroin. I'm sure if it came out that Anne or Jake likes to snort heroin, there were be moronic posts about how that's a fun drug and so what. Ever seen someone strung out on smack (and it's HIGHLY HIGHLY addictive)? Or cocaine (also highly highly addictive)? But yes, because Anne or Jake or whomever takes it, then it's a cool drug.
MORONS. Go to a rehab clinic and you'll realize how "cool" it is.
Cocaine can definitely destroy you. Pot no--although it can make you very forgetful and OVERLY lazy. Plus, you can eat a lot of junk and then fall asleep.
Heath would have been better off being a pothead than taking all those pills.
It's not. I reread my post and I saw the mistake (maybe there are more, idk), I should have used the adverbial form of fatal at the end of the sentence...fatally. Right?
Yeah, and "teached" should be "taught." :) But I wouldn't worry about it - you write English better than some natives, many of whom wouldn't even know what an "adverbial form" is, lol.
Dear Ted: Has Jeremy Renner ever been a Blind Vice? I feel like he's too new to the spotlight to have one, but I would kinda love to be wrong. You're my fave gossip keep up the good work! —Laura
Dear Too Bad: Nope, the Oscar nommed noobie hasn't made his Blind Vice debut yet—though I'm sure he feels like he has these days.
Dear Ted: I think a majority of your readers (as well as other gossip devourers) have correctly determined the identity of Toothy Tile. If he knew how many people nationwide have a strong suspicion/conviction of his real identity, do you think his mind would change about staying in the closet? I know—there are still so many closed-minded people out there, including the big suits in Hollywood. —J
Dear Mass Appeal: I think the whole country could actually know who T.T. was and he still wouldn't publicly come out—not yet, at least.
Dear Ted: Some of the comments to your outing Morning Piss made a point that I have always dismissed, but am now rethinking. Most gossip writers would think nothing about "outing" an unfaithful spouse or a heterosexual celebrity couple, but there is a strong taboo against outing a homosexual celebrity. I understand why: to come out of the closet is very difficult, and to force someone out before they are ready can harm the person and those that they care about. However, does this taboo serve to reinforce the same cultural bigotry that puts people in the closet in the first place? —Em
Dear Privacy Problem: Yes. But, what's the solution? Out people just to help out society?
Dear Ted: You well know that a lot of actors in Hollywood (who aren't gay) have played gay on the screen. It's almost a rite of passage in their pursuit of fame and glory. Russell Crowe, Jake Gyllenhaal, Will Smith, Robert Downey, Jr., Leonardo DiCaprio, and Al Pacino all come to mind. What about Nevis Divine? Does he have his gay cinema bona fides (and I'm talking about on the screen, not in the trailer with his co-stars)? Or is it still too early in his career? —Mike
Dear Going Gay: While Nevis has never been to Brokeback Mountain, he's explored the more...complicated side of sexuality.
PR - Tiger Woods textbook example of real sicko
said...
Brad Faxon was trying to explain just how careful Tiger Woods and his handlers can be when the longtime PGA Tour player posed a good question: “Have you ever even seen him on a cell phone?”
This was last summer, before everything changed for Tiger Woods, before he was exposed as a scoundrel and a sleaze and the biggest phony in sports.
Back then everything in Woods’ world was under control. Every picture, every image, every interview was on his terms. We saw him hit balls, we saw him at Orlando Magic or Stanford games, we saw him at home with Elin and the kids and the dogs. We saw what he wanted us to see.
We never saw him on a cell phone. Just wouldn’t look good. Would make him appear distracted, divided, not completely devoted to his craft. We assumed he owned a cell phone, he used a cell phone, but he never did in front of the cameras.
Now we know: He waited until he was behind closed doors before he pulled out the phone, texted his porn star girlfriend and told her how much he wanted to “choke, slap, spank and bite” her. ...
Now if they time the release of Anne and Jake's movie within the beginning of the Oscar season and hopefully people have been wrong about Jake's POP, it may be a good year for him. In others words, that closet door will be nailed.
...and hopefully people have been wrong about Jake's POP...
I don't know what you mean by "wrong" about Jake's PoP, but I don't think PoP can hurt him in any case unless his performance itself gets absolutely trashed, which I kind of doubt. I think it will do big b.o. but probably get similar reviews to those initial reactions, which is no surprise. In other words, it will make him a bigger "name" and he'll probably be able to demand more $$, but it won't add a lot of depth to his acting creds.
The reason they keep saying it is not a sandals movie as movies of that kind have not fared well, like Troy, and sandal movie has a negative image.
Regaedint the drug discussion, I think some people have addictive personalities, and some don't. And if it was not drugs it would be alcohol. At least that is what the people with problems I have known have told me. And all those AA people smoke and drink sugar-laden coffee like crazy.
I think PoP will do okay for a tentpole flick but not what they expected in the beginning (by now Disney must have lowered their expectations). This kind of movies make money no matter what, the names and the acting in it don’t matter much, look at 300. Unfortunately there will be SATC2 which will take a substantial slice of the BO that weekend/period. We’ll see who ends up #1.
Miley Cyrus Quit Twitter Because of Anti-Gay Hate Mail
said...
In a new interview with Parade magazine, Miley Cyrus says she quit Twitter because she got so much hate mail for airing her supportive views of gay marriage:
“There has been so much controversy sometimes about what I’ve said or done because I believe there are no mistakes because God is the only one who can judge us. That’s the reason I deleted my Twitter account because I said on there that I believed in gay marriage because everyone should have the right to love each other, and I got such hate mail about my being a bad person.”
Miley also says that she avoids TV, aside from one particular show:
“I am screwed up in the mind a little bit because I’m not like other 16- or 17-year-old girls. I have no perspective of who exactly my fans are, to tell you the truth. Teenage girls in general are hard for me. I’m not a girl’s girl. And I don’t really watch television at all. But there is one show I’m addicted to: RuPaul’s Drag Race. I love me some RuPaul. I love RuPaul’s motto. It goes something like, ‘A real lady is never bitchy, a real lady is sassy.'”
He waited until he was behind closed doors before he pulled out the phone, texted his porn star girlfriend and told her how much he wanted to “choke, slap, spank and bite” her.
Personally, I have no interest in SATC2. I'm looking forward to Prince of Persia - I don't think it's made any claim to be anything more than good family summer entertainment. People are entitled to their opinions, but are tossing the word "cliche" around like we are talking about Dr. Zhivago or something. JB said the movie is Lawrence of Arabia-like,not Lawrence of Arabia. It's a video-game brought to the screen, with the addition of a more detailed story. Please try to curb your zeal for PoP to fail.
As far as the drug argument and sheltered grannies, some of your grannies have done more drugs than their cellphone insulated grandkids would ever dream of. See the S. Sarandon article above - she admits to trying a few. Pot isn't the big villain it's made out to be, and actually can be helpful in moderation, like alcohol. And I agree that alcohol is equally responsible for more deaths and addictions as well as drugs. And nobody will addressd smoking and cigarettes.
That’s the reason I deleted my Twitter account because I said on there that I believed in gay marriage because everyone should have the right to love each other, and I got such hate mail about my being a bad person.”
It's sad that even young people are still so ignorant and close-minded.
I think PoP will do okay for a tentpole flick but not what they expected in the beginning (by now Disney must have lowered their expectations).

I agree with all of this,1:02, but they (Disney) will claim success and big b.o. because of exactly what you said - these kind of movies always make money. You make a good point about lowered expectations - this does not sound like "blockbuster."
As far as the drug argument and sheltered grannies, etc.
Sorry, that should read so-called sheltered grannies. :)
As for me, I tried pot and coke, gave them a good go in fact, but they never, ever did anything for me, I'm sorry to say. I wish they had. The only other time I had the opportunity to try psychedelics i.e. when my friends had mescaline, I had to work and as they say, my friends started without me! lol
I certainly had very good and close friends who used drugs, some a lot. But today, they have gone on to lead productive lives and seem none the worse for wear. Heroin, on the other hand, I would be afraid of. I have many friends and acquaintances who have had difficulties with that, some who never recovered. :(
Unfortunately there will be SATC2 which will take a substantial slice of the BO that weekend/period. We’ll see who ends up #1."
I'm not going to deny this. Jake or not, I will DEFINITELY run FIRST to see SATC2 the weekend it opens. I'm sorry but I was and still am a big fan of the TV show. (Yes, the first film sucked but I love the characters).
I remember there were a lot of SATC "parties" when the first film opened, with large groups of women getting together to go to the theater and then partying afterwards to talk about it. I got invited to one, but didn't go (actually haven't seen the first film yet, I should do that). The tv series was well done.

Gay Facebook founder Chris Hughes starts Jumo.com, a social platform for global volunteerism: "Think of the site as philanthropy, volunteerism and social networking all rolled into one.

Slut!Jake said... Well how about you give me a bj?
An offer hard to refuse, but I'm afraid I'll have to because I don’t give head unless there’s something in it for me as well. Maybe a delusional babbler could be of service? ;)
"I don’t give head unless there’s something in it for me"
Well my semen has always been enough for everyone but for you I'll give you my autograph [on the confidentiality agreement] and if you're really good you can take a fan pic of me.

Not good enough. How about a bj in exchange for some private info? I'll keep it to myself, Scout’s honor.
I'm not giving excuses to Tiger Woods but IMO the "slapping" and "choking" texts might be taken out of context. By that I mean maybe it wasn't S&M like people are assuming but references to getting slapped in the face with his penis or choking on it during deepthroating or throatf***ing. My bf and I have used that kind of sexy talk and it didn't mean anything violent but if anyone read/heard it they might think it did. Just sayin.
Hey you're my daughter, act like a lady and don't be whoring yourself out, I don't care if he's a famous actor. You should be ashamed of yourself. You're grounded.

I think whatever happened with Tiger is between him and his wife. I don't care about it. These mistresses (and their attorneys) coming out of the woodwork are looking for $$$/15 min. of fame. This latest one is hardly Rebecca from Sunnybrooke Farm, she's a pro. While abuse of women is absolutely wrong, something tells me that if there was any S&M to be had, it was negotiated for. It's not fair to read only his texts and not her responses. My feeling is that as long as it's consensual, it's nobody's business. Although one man's S&M is another's assault charge. I noticed he asked about her plane fare in one of the texts, so that implies he probably paid her expenses too, I would assume? All of her moral outrage is a joke.

Keanu (after River died):
"WHERE HAS MY JULIET GONE...?"
:(
KEANU: I've always loved you, River. River is my best friend and I don't have many of them.
River Phoenix: I'll be Juliet.
So uninhibited.
When River got more praise for MOPI there was no jealousy on Keanu's side. Both guys were unspoiled and good hearted. True friends. Not just wishful thinking from countless shippers/MOPI fans.
"You can’t blame Hollywood for what happened to River, kids are doing drugs everywhere in the world. He had his own very personal problems - I will never discuss them with the press - they’re just way too personal. River had a self-destructive side to his Personality. He was angry and hurt that he couldn’t have a private life once he became famous. He just couldn’t deal with having his private life on the front page all the time."
Keanu Reeves
I know people like to mock Keanu--but I squealed when I saw him at the Oscars. How old is he? 45? Looks so much younger and still gorgeous.
I didn't know Keanu's sister is sick. I know he's very close to her. Poor guy. (I know about his girlfriend and his still born baby).
But John Barrowman is the first and only actor who has come out as gay and enjoys leading man status — his fame, though, depends on television. Hollywood may yet change its arthritic state of mind about sexual orientation, but first the world will need to alter a little more too.
Great, another 10 years of Hollywood closet.
Here's a cute pic with Sandra and Keanu:
Sandy and Keanu
I hope both find someone appropriate for them. Sandra's husband was trash anyway.
So Jake will be May 2010 GQ Cover?
Shia LaBeouf April 2010 GQ Cover

What's kinda great about tabloids is they still write breaking news on stars nobody cares about anymore, or even stars—like Clark Gable—who've been dead almost 50 years. In Globe (March 29, 2010), excerpts from the book Clark Gable: Tormented Star claim the Gone With the Wind cad was bisexual and "took male lovers" (more of that amazing antique language the 'bloids are so goo at) as well as female to further his career.

And since she loves honest guys with big baby blues so much, maybe Hewitt could help Gyllenhaal mend his broken heart
Well,the "big baby blues" part is true!
Ellen DeGeneres will donate a million servings of Spot's Stew to shelter pets
A million?! Why, that would feed me for a whole month.

I think there should be a moratorium on articles about HW and the closet talking about Rupert. It was years ago, he has the reputation of being a huge diva and being difficult to work with, and his acting in movies sucked.
HW should pay him for being the poster boy they can all point to keep everyone else in the closet.
I think there should be a moratorium on articles about HW and the closet talking about Rupert.
Amen. Rupert has problems in HW that have nothing to do with being gay.
But all of this:
...especially a romantic leading man with big box-office clout, you still need to conceal your sexual orientation.
... “You really can't afford to come out if you're trying to be or have become a romantic male lead in film.”
....but they will keep a vow of silence, if only on the grounds that they believe disclosure would affect the man's box-office potential and their profits.
will keep Toothy way back in the closet until and unless he decides that A-list leading man status and box office don't matter to him - or he decides that by coming out he can be the one that really starts to turn the tide.
I think there should be a moratorium on articles about HW and the closet talking about Rupert.
I wish there are more actors, directors and producers willing to talk about being gay in Hollwood.
Toothy ain't got the balls, he proved that by bearding with a famewhoring psychopath.
Q: If you were a young, handsome, talented actor with serious leading-man potential, would you come out? If so, when? And how? Would you take one tack in the late 00's, but a different one in the early 00's, and yet another different one in the 90's? And how involved would you get in gay politics? I realize that's a bunch of questions, but I just wanted to know if, having spent so many years observing and analyzing gay celebrities, you'd come up with some kind of ideal "game plan" for celebrity outings. — Sam, Denver, CO
A: Sam, what a fascinating question! Or I should say, questions.
Would I come out? Well, I kinda did, in 1999, in my career as a YA novelist. I could’ve not written about gay themes or listed my male partner in the bio of even my non-gay books. Many, many gay authors do this, and frankly, I think if I had, my career might’ve been better off. I got a lot of attention when my books were banned or challenged (we even once made USA Today!), but I also lost a lot of sales and speaking gigs in red states and public schools, and none of my books, even the non-gay ones, were ever considered for "mainstream" book clubs, which is where a lot of authors make a substantial portion of their income.
But I never even considered not coming out. Then again, I’ve always seen myself as an "outsider," so I don’t know how much credit I get for not going along with the crowd. And being an author is very different than being an actor, especially one who aspires to "leading man" status.
First, it must be said that after working in entertainment journalism for many years, I would never want to be a celebrity — not for $50 million, not for anything. For my perspective, it looks like absolutely the worst job in the world: a grueling grind in a snotty, unforgiving world and where "success" is usually completely out of your control. And don't get me started on the lack of privacy and the sycophantic, fair-weather "friends."
But what if I was leading actor material and acting was dream? It’s easy for me to say, but I’d like to think I’d still come out. But would it depend on the decade?
You be it would! The 80s? Forget it. That's a non-starter. It would've been impossible to be an openly gay leading man in the 1980s — I know, I was there.
The early 90s? Frankly, probably not. Still really, really difficult, and a guy's gotta eat.
The mid-90s or early 00s? Maybe, but probably only after I’d established myself and was comfortably rich, in case my career all came crashing down in a very likely gay-related backlash.
And then there’s now. Like the new generation of actors that includes Scott Evans, Nick Adams, and Cheyenne Jackson, I don't think I'd ever be in.
As I wrote two weeks ago regarding Sean Hayes, I honestly think we're reaching a point where, all things considered, being "out" is more beneficial to a career than being in — at least if you're involved in any cutting-edge, gay-related projects. And if we're not quite there yet, we will be in a few short years, so why not ride that wave?
In the 1960s, African American actors like Bill Cosby and Diahann Carroll broke major barriers by starring in their own TV shows (I Spy and Julia, respectively), and Sidney Poitier starred as the lead in motion pictures. They also contributed to major advances in civil rights. Obviously, most African Americans don't have a choice whether or not to hide their minority membership, so the comparison isn't exactly the same.
But the point is, Cosby, Carroll, and Poitier didn't just become respected actors; they became cultural and civil rights icons (deservedly, because of all the racist bull**** they had to put up with).
Anyway, I think we've reached a point where the same thing will be true of first widely successful openly gay leading actor. He'll be both a leading man and an instrument for major social change — and his career will ultimately be better off, much like Ellen DeGeneres and Neil Patrick Harris (who are close, but not quite the kind of "leading actors" I'm talking about).
And how would I come out? In an interview with AfterElton.com, of course!
My truthful answer is that I would answer all questions asked of me — none of that intelligence-insulting nonsense about not talking about my "personal" life (all actors talk about some aspects of their personal lives, and simply acknowledging you're gay isn't all that personal anyway).
If "the" question came later in my career, once I was "established," I would answer it and then do a single follow-up interview, but then (as much as it pains me to say this as a journalist) I wouldn't do another interview of any kind for six months. I also wouldn't be overtly involved in gay political causes for at least a year. This would allow me to be out and allow audiences to assimilate that fact, but also keep it from overwhelming my career.
Maybe this answer is all too crass and calculated for you. But hey, we're talking about people's dreams and livelihoods. I think that's something some of us sometimes forget.

Page Six
Alec Baldwin and 'queen' rage on
Alec Baldwin, who once had a feud with Page Six -- we made up -- is now at war with Mike Walker of the National Enquirer. The day before he co-hosted the Oscars, Baldwin -- angry at Walker for reporting he'd screamed at Tina Fey on the set of "30 Rock" -- told the Times of London the veteran columnist was a "whore" and a "queen." Walker vents in this week's Enquirer: "Here's my headline: 'Alec Baldwin -- Raging Closet HOMOPHOBE!' Grab your pitchforks and torches, Hollywood -- the monster lurks among ye!"
Baldwin, who says he never screamed at Fey, doesn't seem to be afraid of a gay backlash. He told us yesterday, "Yes, he [Walker] is a goat-footed, wheezy, old queen, and all my male lovers agree with me." Walker states, "Just for the record: I am not gay, as my wife will attest. Right honey? . . . HONEY?? Hey Alec: Stay tuned."
Jake please do not I repeat DO NOT ask Nic for investing, home buying, gambling or financial advice.

Jake certainly has not demonstrated the courage it would take to be the first lead actor to come out. Just the opposite. He went so far as to embarrass himself faking a relationship that anyone with an IQ over 80 could see was a sham.

Atti, trust me, you don't want to hang out with babblers.
RIP Fess Parker

Of course it won't happen anytime soon. Probably when he's old and grey he'll come out, like in most other cases. It's still fun waiting for Toothy... till we get bored in a few years or earlier. ;)
I have big balls!
when he's old and grey he'll come out
Unless he can't stand the pressure and hypocrisy and starts drinking to excess, doing drugs, having unsafe sex and dies of an overdose, AIDS, or hanging himself within the next 10 years.
Wait........where's my testicles?
Oh well. I'll just lick that other thing.
Unless he can't stand the pressure and hypocrisy and starts drinking to excess, doing drugs, having unsafe sex and dies of an overdose, AIDS, or hanging himself within the next 10 years.
I think Jake is too concerned for his health to risk addiction or practicing unsafe sex. He even alluded to being a hypohondriac in one of his Letterman interviews.
I wonder if Bullock and Tiger Woods' wives asked their husbands if they used condoms while cheating? What if they didn't and got some STDs from the skanks they cheated with and maybe contracted the wives too? How awful would that be?
^^Who knows what diseases these mostly promiscuous celebs all have? And I bet many deluded fans would still consider doing it with them w/o condom. How sick!
I wonder if Bullock and Tiger Woods' wives asked their husbands if they used condoms while cheating?
Wouldn't surprise me if the cheating boys occasionally were in a hurry and forgot about protection.

Lt. Dan Choi, Captain Jim Pietrangelo, and activist Robin McGehee of GetEQUAL were arrested earlier today following a "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" rally thrown by the Human Rights Campaign which featured Kathy Griffin.
While different versions of events are being offered (see bottom of post), Lt. Choi spoke at the rally and asked participants to join him on a march to the White House. Choi led hundreds of people from the rally to the White House where he and Cpt. Pietrangelo cuffed themselves to the fence while the crowd rallied around them. Shortly thereafter Choi and Pietrangelo were cut from the fence and arrested by police. During the minutes leading up to their arrest, activist Robin McGehee of GetEQUAL was also arrested.
Kerry eleveld of the Advocate reports, in a Tweet, that Choi and Pietrangelo are being held in jail overnight and will appear tomorrow in court: "Police Spokes says Choi/Pietrangelo will be held overnight and appear tomorrow in DC superior court."

While you might not know the name Paris Barclay, you almost certainly know his work as a director, especially if the show has been on for more than one season. Barclay has directed episodes for In Treatment, Glee, Weeds, Will & Grace, and The West Wing just to name a small fraction of his output. And Glee fans should note that Barclay directed “Wheels,” one of last season’s most popular episodes.
For his efforts, Barclay has won both Emmys and Directors Guild Awards and been nominated a slew of times. He’s also very much an advocate for GLBT visibility, especially for people of color who are still sorely under-represented at almost every level of Hollywood. Indeed, it was after attending a Television Critics Association panel on diversity in television that AfterElton.com had the chance to catch up with Barclay on his wide ranging career, his thoughts on where GLBT visibility stands and how much he likes the word “husband.”
...
AE: Is it as simple as Americans are still afraid of gay male sexuality?
PB: Yeah, pretty much. They're so uncomfortable with it. When I did the pilot Hate about hate crimes for Showtime, I probably made a miscalculation in making the first story revolve around gay people, because it was actually so in your face it probably hurt it. I probably should have just done a nice Hassidic Jew bashing or something that would have been more broadly appealing. [laughs] I think America is generally uncomfortable with it still, certainly with the sexuality part. Not so much the comedy, but with the sexuality.
AE: It seems like it's especially men who have that discomfort. We have a lot of women readers on the site who are so into gay male sexuality.
PB: Men are definitely uncomfortable with it, and I think many of the people writing the shows are uncomfortable with writing that story as well. That's why you don't see it generally happening in mainstream drama where there's some kind of gay romance, because it's like, "Oh gosh, I don't want to have to do that."
AE: So you're saying it's not just the American audience, it's also the writing.
PB: Yes, it's also the writing.
...
AE: During the panel, you mentioned your husband which I'm still not used to hearing. I was talking to a writer from Brothers & Sisters, and he introduced himself and started talking and he said, "Oh my husband and I..." It seemed very deliberate when you said it and I love that you refer to him that way.
PB: I love saying it, and I had to figure out some way to bring it up on the panel.
AE: It's normalizing things.
PB: Exactly. And a couple of years from now you're going to stop having that feeling.
AE: There was a lot of talk in 2009 from industry people about the closet and whether actors should come out, and I've certainly talked to enough publicists where you can tell they are being cagey. Or even talking to probably gay actors who don’t want to address it. What do you think is keeping more actors from coming out?
PB: I often get asked, "What should I do?" by actors I know who are gay because I've directed them. I really have to go on a case-by-case basis. I basically ask them a series of questions: What kind of career they want, how comfortable they feel about telling the truth versus lying in every single interview for the rest of their lives, are they in a relationship that matters to them that they would feel uncomfortable concealing or revealing. These are the choices they have to make.
The number one choice is what kind of career do they want, because I believe if you're a young actor and you come out, it will limit the number of roles and the kinds of roles you're going to get. That's just unfortunately the sad fact of how it is. You're not going to get all the roles that would come to you otherwise. They're just not going to come to you. Because in those private little rooms where we do casting and we make our list, someone's going to say, "Oh, but so-and-so's gay. I don't want that," and they'll get crossed off. I think there's definitely a down side.
However, if you're a character actor, you're comfortable not being a romantic lead, you don't see yourself as someone who's going to live your life in movies all the time, you're comfortable on television, it's more important to you to have a relationship that's public and accepted and be able to bring that person places, then that's your choice.
AE: Do you think it's getting better for the romantic lead? I don't know if you watch 30 Rock, but Cheyenne Jackson...
PB: I love Cheyenne. We're trying to get him onto Glee, too.
AE: He was on 30 Rock, and you've got Neil Patrick Harris on How I Met Your Mother. It is improving from ten years ago, isn't it?
PB: It's improving somewhat, but I still think there are probably decisions made before it gets to their desk that eliminates them and reduces their opportunities. I really do. I think there's probably people saying, "I love Neil Patrick Harris but I don't see him playing opposite Katherine Heigl in this movie," so Neil Patrick Harris never gets that call.
In television, perhaps there a little bit of a greater opportunity because it's a smaller screen. In features, the homophobia is so strong that I'm sure it limits people's potential. You have to think about that. You have to weigh it. I do think it's great when some people put away all the math and the arcane systems and just say, "Hey, I want to be who I am." And I say, "Okay. Great!"

Bomer didn't get that memo I guess. I think he'll be out in a year or two, and I can see him doing movies.
When Boner gets a few years on him, (if he ever ages!) and maybe by then the world will be ready, he would make a GREAT James Bond.

I was googling around about Bomer and Simon Halls. Halls represents, among others, Ang Lee, Tom Ford, Nathan Lane and Zachary Quinto.
Simon Halls joins Slate PR
Not 10:33 but IA with them. There's recreational drug use and then there's addiction; they are 2 different things. Related yes, but like alcohol, drug physical/emotional addiction doesn't always follow usage.
destiny thanks for the Simon Halls link. LOL how there's only that one pic of him in the whole world.
slashfilm: Feeling let down by Prince of Persia. The production design, cinematography, costume design all amazing. But the plot, characters and casting is kind of a mess.

I like the plot, but there's so much going on it was confusing at times, felt a little rushed and messy, but wasn't bad. Just good I guess.
Actually, yea that's kind of a good comparison, it is very messy like Michael Bay.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Rather mediocre, unfortunately.

Are you finished yet? Get off of me. And get me a towel.
I'm speaking as the sister of a recovered cokehead and the best friend of a recovered cokehead
Also not 10:33. Sorry for your sister and friend and glad they recovered from addiction. But I know a lot of people who did coke during uni and are not at all cokeheads now. Some can't have a cig without becoming heavy smokers or eat cookies without bingeing. Others smoke at parties have one cookie and that's about it. I also don't get why parents and old people freak over mj and coke but not alcohol. Alcohol and DUIs kill waayyy more people.
Good alcohol with good food is great. But it's true, esp. young people seem to abuse it and so many youngsters get killed driving drunk.
As for drugs, I was never into that. I don't find it cool or hip or anything. It has a great potential making you addictive. Snorting some shit or injecting it, no thanks. Why would I do it? To feel better? There are better and more healthy ways.
I'm glad I was/still am not one of the people thinking drugs are cool. I kind of feel sorry for people who do.
I'm glad I was/still am not one of the people thinking drugs are cool. I kind of feel sorry for people who do.
Alcohol's a drug. Wine is a mind-altering substance. Old people's legal drugs of choice get a pass from you, is that it? I think wine is fine but sorry Aunt Betty, good pot with good sex is fiiiiiine.

BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN stars JAKE GYLLENHAAL, MICHELLE WILLIAMS and ANNE HATHAWAY are the frontrunners to score big at the Oscars in 2011, according to the leading Academy Awards race website.
The three stars are all tipped to claim leading actor and actress Oscars nominations for the films Blue Valentine and love & other Drugs.
Experts at the Los Angeles Times newspaper’s The Envelope blog also tips Angelina Jolie, Ben Stiller and Michael Douglas for Oscars gold for their roles in Salt, Greenberg and Wall Street: Money never Sleeps. Douglas won a Best Actor Oscar for his role as Gordon Gekko in the original Wall Street movie.
The film experts also predict troubled moviemaker Roman Polanski will be among the Best Director favourites for his film The Ghost Writer – even though he’s fighting extradition from Switzerland to America for sentencing in a 32-year-old sex assault case.
And the early favourites for Best Film, according to the website, are Danny Boyle’s new movie 127 Hours, The Kids Are Alright, Brad Pitt and Sean Penn’s The Tree of Life, Inception, western remake True Grit, Clint Eastwood’s The hereafter and Johnny Depp’s movie adaptation of his late pal Hunter S. Thompson’s The Rum Diary.

BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN stars JAKE GYLLENHAAL, MICHELLE WILLIAMS and ANNE HATHAWAY are the frontrunners to score big at the Oscars in 2011, according to the leading Academy Awards race website.
^^ Oscar potential: Early screenings have Hollywood buzzing about Hathaway and Gyllenhaal's performances. After previous nominations, this could be their chance to take home the gold.
Funny how the buzz for Anne now turned into buzz for Anne and Jake. Early Oscar predictions are silly.
A bit of promotion doesn't hurt :)
Well that's the point. ;)
The reactions are pouring in from the first screening of Disney’s Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. The movie premiered at ShoWest and plenty of people are blazing the world of Twitter with their instant reactions to the film. Fans of the video game have thrown in their two cents as well as people who wanted to see if it lived up to the hype. Well, it’s time for Prince of Persia to be put on the chopping block so here it is…
For the most part, it sounds like people had high expectations for this film, which I believe was their first mistake. The majority of these tweets are comments of frustration and disappointment. This begs the question, did we all see the same trailers that have been gracing the internet for the past few months? Prince of Persia doesn’t look like the savior of the video game genre, hell it looks borderline campy!
The general consensus here is that the movie is mediocre, and that sounds like an accurate assessment. Just because Jake Gyllenhaal is doing backflips in the desert in the middle of a Jerry Bruckheimer film doesn’t mean it’s the be all, end all of action movies.
Here’s what we’re hearing through the grapevine so far…
■ SvenRump: Prince of Persia: a rollicking good time. Swords & Sandals 2010 Bruckheimer Style
■ Slashfilm: Feeling let down by Prince of Persia. The production design, cinematography, costume design all amazing. But the plot, characters and casting is kind of a mess.
■ FirstShowing: Prince of Persia was good, not great, pretty much exactly what I expected. It moved VERY quickly but was still long. Not enough parkour. I like the plot, but there’s so much going on it was confusing at times, felt a little rushed and messy, but wasn’t bad. Just good I guess.
■ Schofizzy: No surprise that PRINCE OF PERSIA: SANDS OF TIME looks cool and that’s about it.
■ mattign: Just saw Prince of Persia. Fun movie.
■ bitmobshoe: Prince of Persia movie is a lot of mindless, summer blockbuster fun. The expected cliches were out in full force though.
■ entoncesmn: Prince of Persia is big and loud and and action-filled but all that didn’t make the story better.
It sounds like a typical, middle of the road summer movie to me. I’ll probably still go see it because I never put it up on a pedestal to begin with. My expectations for it have been pretty low since day one.

Now I've seen everything. One mention of a possibility of Anne Hathaway doing coke and that brings out explanations and excuses, possibly even a bit of acceptance.
Is it not possible to like a star and yet not approve or endorse every little thing that star does?
I'm sure there are quite a few addicted folks who once started out thinking it was just going to be "recreational".
Unbelievable.

Believe it or not, some people use drugs for fun or don't have a problem with people who use drugs and keep it under control.
Those reactions to PoP sounds pretty much like I expected. Had to lol at this : Swords & Sandals 2010 Bruckheimer Style, though, since Disney has been trying to make a point that NO ONE WEARS SANDALS!!!! Even Jake tried to make that point at the Oscars when he was talking to Seacrest. They must think that not wearing sandals elevates the movie somehow.
Boots are cooler than sandals!

There are many, many people, like me, who drink alcohol every now and then, but can control it, don't become addicted to it (I think you can much easier become addicted to coke, heroin, crack, etc.). As for pot, I'm fine with that, as long as you don't drive stoned. But I'm not interested in trying it.
I'm not a fan of coke or heroin or pills or whatnot. If that makes me a prude in your eyes, I don't care.

IMDb User Review
Great romance, great comedy, great cans on Anne
Saw a preview tonight. Really, really good. Plenty of nudity from the leads....always thought of Anne as too skinny, but yowza! Quite the tear-jerker, yet finds time to be charming and funny. Anne Hathaway was totally off my radar but I was totally in love from the 1st wild sex scene. Lots of Jake whoring around too. The brother was a poor man's Jonah Hill, but he was quite entertaining in the end. Some pretty gross moments, especially one involving a sex video but it really made me laugh. Judy Greer of Arrested Development was cool in a small role as a naughty nurse. Story of a sales rep for Viagra who falls for a beautiful artist with (no spoiler here). Well paced, well acted and well written.

Anne Hathaways bf, Follieri, was a coke head too. I read he wants her to take him back when he leaves prison. I wonder if she really was as oblivious to his criminal doings, like stealing money from charity for sick children? But since I believe in karma, nothing can stay unrevenged. Since Anne seems to be doing fine professioally and personally and karma didn't bite her in the ass, she probably really was oblivious.
I cannot believe HOW ANYONE can condone the use of cocaine. It's wrong. Not ifs, ands and buts. And yes, if that makes me a prude, I don't give a shit. It's WRONG. Just like stealing is wrong. Just like cheating on your spouse is wrong. It's wrong. That's it.
Back to PoP: "Actually, yea that's kind of a good comparison, it is very messy like Michael Bay.
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Rather mediocre, unfortunately." Sigh. Well, I'm sure the film will make a lot of money but honestly, we all knew the film was cheesy just by the trailers. But hey, Jake wanted to be in a blockbuster so he's in one.
And yes, if that makes me a prude, I don't give a shit.
That's good.
Some posters here sound like sheltered grannies.

Nah, it doesn't work like that.
Some posters here sound like sheltered grannies.
Grannies? Give me a break! Everyone, you included, can do whatever you want, use whatever drug you want. As long as you don't endanger others with your behaviou, it's fine. My personal choice is to stay away from drugs and enjoy life w/o. If I decide to have kids one day, I will definitely make sure my co-parent is not a drug user (neither violent nor alcoholic as well of course).
"I celebrated my 63rd birthday and got blood tests and saw a nutritionist. I want to do a pre-emptive strike on whatever is building up in me, so I'm travelling with this dehydrated green stuff and red stuff and cutting out all sugar and all liquor. I rarely drink, so that wasn't hard. The bad one was bread. I love bread. I cheat sometimes. When I did the play [Exit the King on Broadway] I got run down and was drinking serious caffeine, so I needed to clean up my act. I'm very susceptible to drugs of every kind. Coffee, it's great because it gets me very up, but then I crash."
I tell her I find coffee comforting. She surmises authoritatively: "You are probably someone who takes Ritalin to calm them."
When she says drugs have such an effect on her, what kind of drugs does she mean? "I mean anything! I'm not really interested in drinking. Tequila maybe, but champagne makes me fall asleep. It doesn't take much. I love mushrooms and I've done those successfully, but I don't like anything chemical. I didn't like LSD, and ecstasy wouldn't agree with me. I like stuff you can smoke."
I tell her that the stuff you smoke makes me paranoid and depressed. "Oh, that's sad," she says in a heartfelt way, as if she's running through all the good times that I'll never have. "Everyone is wired differently. Some people can do stuff that others can't. That's what I told my kids. Some drugs can kill you. Some are not even worth trying. Some are a lot of fun, so talk to me first."
Susan Sarandon: sexy, single and 63
Cheating - it's not (only) a moral issue, it's also dangerous to cheat or being cheated on. What if your partner doesn't use protection (condoms)? It's important to trust your parter that if he cheats to use protection. If he got the HI- or Hepatitis C Virus or other STDs and contraced me, I'd kill him for that. Not because he cheated and hurt my feelings (If it was just that, I'd throw him out and end of story), but because the fucker ruined my life. He'd be dead (much earlier than the disease would have killed him).
If he got the HI- or Hepatitis C Virus or other STDs and contraced me, I'd kill him for that.
Seems fair to me!
Some are not even worth trying. Some are a lot of fun, so talk to me first."
Should I think she's a cool, modern mom now? I don't. I will teach my kids how dangerous drugs are.
I did have the opportunity to smoke pot at uni parties, but I guess I hung out with people who weren't interested in it either. And it was always still fun.
Again, pot is still less dangerous and not really comparable to hard drugs. It's something I'm ok with, but I'm not interested trying it.
Should I think she's a cool, modern mom now?
Cool, modern and realistic.
Cool, modern and realistic.
That's your opinion. I'm glad my parents teached me about the dangers of drug use.
Once you are addicted to some heavy stuff, it's difficult to get out of the vicious circle and it could end fatal.

Lecturing from sanctimonious types is the last thing some of us are interested in on a gossip blog.
Jeez. I'm not lecturing anyone. Why so sensitive? You can do what you want, I really don't care.
Now I'm really over this tiring topic.
You can't equate smoking pot (which may become legalized) with snorting cocaine, which is not good (and this is coming from a product of the late 1980s/early 1990s NYC party scene) Anything once in a while is...okay. But snorting cocaine (just like smoking pot--and I love pot) on a regular basis is BAD NEWS. Cocaine is derived from the same opiate that produces heroin. I'm sure if it came out that Anne or Jake likes to snort heroin, there were be moronic posts about how that's a fun drug and so what. Ever seen someone strung out on smack (and it's HIGHLY HIGHLY addictive)? Or cocaine (also highly highly addictive)? But yes, because Anne or Jake or whomever takes it, then it's a cool drug.
MORONS. Go to a rehab clinic and you'll realize how "cool" it is.
Cocaine can definitely destroy you. Pot no--although it can make you very forgetful and OVERLY lazy. Plus, you can eat a lot of junk and then fall asleep.
Heath would have been better off being a pothead than taking all those pills.

Dear Ted:
Has Jeremy Renner ever been a Blind Vice? I feel like he's too new to the spotlight to have one, but I would kinda love to be wrong. You're my fave gossip keep up the good work!
—Laura
Dear Too Bad:
Nope, the Oscar nommed noobie hasn't made his Blind Vice debut yet—though I'm sure he feels like he has these days.
Dear Ted:
I think a majority of your readers (as well as other gossip devourers) have correctly determined the identity of Toothy Tile. If he knew how many people nationwide have a strong suspicion/conviction of his real identity, do you think his mind would change about staying in the closet? I know—there are still so many closed-minded people out there, including the big suits in Hollywood.
—J
Dear Mass Appeal:
I think the whole country could actually know who T.T. was and he still wouldn't publicly come out—not yet, at least.
Dear Ted:
Some of the comments to your outing Morning Piss made a point that I have always dismissed, but am now rethinking. Most gossip writers would think nothing about "outing" an unfaithful spouse or a heterosexual celebrity couple, but there is a strong taboo against outing a homosexual celebrity. I understand why: to come out of the closet is very difficult, and to force someone out before they are ready can harm the person and those that they care about. However, does this taboo serve to reinforce the same cultural bigotry that puts people in the closet in the first place?
—Em
Dear Privacy Problem:
Yes. But, what's the solution? Out people just to help out society?
Dear Ted:
You well know that a lot of actors in Hollywood (who aren't gay) have played gay on the screen. It's almost a rite of passage in their pursuit of fame and glory. Russell Crowe, Jake Gyllenhaal, Will Smith, Robert Downey, Jr., Leonardo DiCaprio, and Al Pacino all come to mind. What about Nevis Divine? Does he have his gay cinema bona fides (and I'm talking about on the screen, not in the trailer with his co-stars)? Or is it still too early in his career?
—Mike
Dear Going Gay:
While Nevis has never been to Brokeback Mountain, he's explored the more...complicated side of sexuality.

Brad Faxon was trying to explain just how careful Tiger Woods and his handlers can be when the longtime PGA Tour player posed a good question: “Have you ever even seen him on a cell phone?”
This was last summer, before everything changed for Tiger Woods, before he was exposed as a scoundrel and a sleaze and the biggest phony in sports.
Back then everything in Woods’ world was under control. Every picture, every image, every interview was on his terms. We saw him hit balls, we saw him at Orlando Magic or Stanford games, we saw him at home with Elin and the kids and the dogs. We saw what he wanted us to see.
We never saw him on a cell phone. Just wouldn’t look good. Would make him appear distracted, divided, not completely devoted to his craft. We assumed he owned a cell phone, he used a cell phone, but he never did in front of the cameras.
Now we know: He waited until he was behind closed doors before he pulled out the phone, texted his porn star girlfriend and told her how much he wanted to “choke, slap, spank and bite” her.

Now if they time the release of Anne and Jake's movie within the beginning of the Oscar season and hopefully people have been wrong about Jake's POP, it may be a good year for him. In others words, that closet door will be nailed.
LAOD release is planned for November.
...and hopefully people have been wrong about Jake's POP...
I don't know what you mean by "wrong" about Jake's PoP, but I don't think PoP can hurt him in any case unless his performance itself gets absolutely trashed, which I kind of doubt. I think it will do big b.o. but probably get similar reviews to those initial reactions, which is no surprise. In other words, it will make him a bigger "name" and he'll probably be able to demand more $$, but it won't add a lot of depth to his acting creds.
In others words, that closet door will be nailed.
Will we get to see Nailed this year?
The reason they keep saying it is not a sandals movie as movies of that kind have not fared well, like Troy, and sandal movie has a negative image.
Regaedint the drug discussion, I think some people have addictive personalities, and some don't. And if it was not drugs it would be alcohol. At least that is what the people with problems I have known have told me. And all those AA people smoke and drink sugar-laden coffee like crazy.
p3kpek: THIS IS THE MOVIE I WANT TO WATCH! PRINCE OF PERSIA!

I think it will do big b.o.
I think PoP will do okay for a tentpole flick but not what they expected in the beginning (by now Disney must have lowered their expectations). This kind of movies make money no matter what, the names and the acting in it don’t matter much, look at 300. Unfortunately there will be SATC2 which will take a substantial slice of the BO that weekend/period. We’ll see who ends up #1.
In a new interview with Parade magazine, Miley Cyrus says she quit Twitter because she got so much hate mail for airing her supportive views of gay marriage:
“There has been so much controversy sometimes about what I’ve said or done because I believe there are no mistakes because God is the only one who can judge us. That’s the reason I deleted my Twitter account because I said on there that I believed in gay marriage because everyone should have the right to love each other, and I got such hate mail about my being a bad person.”
Miley also says that she avoids TV, aside from one particular show:
“I am screwed up in the mind a little bit because I’m not like other 16- or 17-year-old girls. I have no perspective of who exactly my fans are, to tell you the truth. Teenage girls in general are hard for me. I’m not a girl’s girl. And I don’t really watch television at all. But there is one show I’m addicted to: RuPaul’s Drag Race. I love me some RuPaul. I love RuPaul’s motto. It goes something like, ‘A real lady is never bitchy, a real lady is sassy.'”

He waited until he was behind closed doors before he pulled out the phone, texted his porn star girlfriend and told her how much he wanted to “choke, slap, spank and bite” her.
Tiger sure knows how to treat a woman.
Personally, I have no interest in SATC2. I'm looking forward to Prince of Persia - I don't think it's made any claim to be anything more than good family summer entertainment. People are entitled to their opinions, but are tossing the word "cliche" around like we are talking about Dr. Zhivago or something. JB said the movie is Lawrence of Arabia-like,not Lawrence of Arabia. It's a video-game brought to the screen, with the addition of a more detailed story. Please try to curb your zeal for PoP to fail.
As far as the drug argument and sheltered grannies, some of your grannies have done more drugs than their cellphone insulated grandkids would ever dream of. See the S. Sarandon article above - she admits to trying a few. Pot isn't the big villain it's made out to be, and actually can be helpful in moderation, like alcohol. And I agree that alcohol is equally responsible for more deaths and addictions as well as drugs. And nobody will addressd smoking and cigarettes.
Thanks!
Thank you.

It's sad that even young people are still so ignorant and close-minded.

I agree with all of this,1:02, but they (Disney) will claim success and big b.o. because of exactly what you said - these kind of movies always make money. You make a good point about lowered expectations - this does not sound like "blockbuster."
As far as the drug argument and sheltered grannies, etc.
Sorry, that should read so-called sheltered grannies. :)
As for me, I tried pot and coke, gave them a good go in fact, but they never, ever did anything for me, I'm sorry to say. I wish they had. The only other time I had the opportunity to try psychedelics i.e. when my friends had mescaline, I had to work and as they say, my friends started without me! lol
I certainly had very good and close friends who used drugs, some a lot. But today, they have gone on to lead productive lives and seem none the worse for wear. Heroin, on the other hand, I would be afraid of. I have many friends and acquaintances who have had difficulties with that, some who never recovered. :(
G*d, I love Susan Sarandon.

I'm not going to deny this. Jake or not, I will DEFINITELY run FIRST to see SATC2 the weekend it opens. I'm sorry but I was and still am a big fan of the TV show. (Yes, the first film sucked but I love the characters).
I remember there were a lot of SATC "parties" when the first film opened, with large groups of women getting together to go to the theater and then partying afterwards to talk about it. I got invited to one, but didn't go (actually haven't seen the first film yet, I should do that). The tv series was well done.
We're gonna buy pg Prince of Persia tickies so we can sneak into Sex and the City 2 and see all the r rated sexy stuff!

Wrong answer! Do try again! lol

Wrong again! :)

IA! Did you hear what his response was to TMZ's question if Xrated movies should be shot in 3D?! He said no, because he didn't want to have a big **** in his face. LOL I can't decide which c-word he might have meant.
@ManMadeMoon [Duncan Jones] your name came up yesterday to direct Sex and the City 3 on the moon... Okay, fine, it was my idea and I was drunk.

What is wrong with that man?!? Porn is the only reason I'm looking forward to 3D TV!

LOL, no, I didn’t see it. Will look for it.
By "it" I mean the video.
It was on TMZ tv on either Weds or Thurs. Now that I remember it I think he might have said "cock" because LOL the blonde girl raised her hand and said "I do!"
By "it" I mean the video.
I got your ~video~ right here in my lap, babe.
*cough*
Jakey, we both like "it" convex and my um, lap is concave so sadly that’s going to be a problem. We should find you a nice boy to play with instead ;)

An offer hard to refuse, but I'm afraid I'll have to because I don’t give head unless there’s something in it for me as well. Maybe a delusional babbler could be of service? ;)

You are scaring him! lol
That was cruel of me :( Sorry (((Jakey)))
No PoP reviews?

Whut? They'll bite my head off.
"I don’t give head unless there’s something in it for me"
Well my semen has always been enough for everyone but for you I'll give you my autograph [on the confidentiality agreement] and if you're really good you can take a fan pic of me.

Not good enough. How about a bj in exchange for some private info? I'll keep it to myself, Scout’s honor.

ONTD - James Marsden's Ass in the (African) American Remake of 'Death at a Funeral'
I'm not giving excuses to Tiger Woods but IMO the "slapping" and "choking" texts might be taken out of context. By that I mean maybe it wasn't S&M like people are assuming but references to getting slapped in the face with his penis or choking on it during deepthroating or throatf***ing. My bf and I have used that kind of sexy talk and it didn't mean anything violent but if anyone read/heard it they might think it did. Just sayin.

Hey you're my daughter, act like a lady and don't be whoring yourself out, I don't care if he's a famous actor. You should be ashamed of yourself. You're grounded.
Hey, easy for you to say. You know all his secrets. I wanna know too!!!
Wait, what?
*looks at family tree*
How can I be a father? Boo was really a neighbor not my brother?
*confused* Daddy has a lot of explaining to do.

video: Jake Gyllenhaal Reunites With an Ex!
When Jake Gyllenhaal dined on French food in Montreal recently, he was surrounded by seven pals -- including one of his famous ex-girlfriends.
Who was it?

I think whatever happened with Tiger is between him and his wife. I don't care about it. These mistresses (and their attorneys) coming out of the woodwork are looking for $$$/15 min. of fame. This latest one is hardly Rebecca from Sunnybrooke Farm, she's a pro. While abuse of women is absolutely wrong, something tells me that if there was any S&M to be had, it was negotiated for. It's not fair to read only his texts and not her responses. My feeling is that as long as it's consensual, it's nobody's business. Although one man's S&M is another's assault charge. I noticed he asked about her plane fare in one of the texts, so that implies he probably paid her expenses too, I would assume? All of her moral outrage is a joke.
marcmalkin: forgot to tell u....Jake Gyllenhaal in Prince of Persia...HOT!...he could big big big action guy...his arms are certainly big enuf.

I agree, except one thing - Tiger's fake public image.
^^He isn't the first with a fake image, and he won't be the last.
