Between courses at the Ravagh Persian Grill in Manhattan (his choice), he pulls out from under his T-shirt the two chains that hang around his neck. Each has a ring at its end - one is a black diamond, the other a pendant of Saint Genesius, patron saint of actors - and he starts rolling them between his fingers. But he almost seems alarmed when I ask about them, as though he hasn't been aware of what he has been doing. A diner from another table comes over.
"Can I say hi to you?" she asks.
"Yes, you can," he says.
"Oh, my gosh," she says. "You're my favorite."
"Oh no," he says. "Oh, don't say that. You say that to everybody."
"No!" she protests. "I love The Brokenback Mountain. I really did love it. I watched it three times."
Brokenback Mountain. Once she recedes, he turns to me and says, "You don't want to know the variations of that title." He tells me how, just the other day, a lawyer asked him how he got into acting at such a young age. "I think at first I was just ambitious," he says. "It was blind ambition. I wanted to be out there. I mean, I remember watching my sister up onstage doing South Pacific when we were kids and going, 'That looks like a fucking lot of fun.'" He debates with himself. "Was it attention? Probably, but I think it was more the magic. It's magic, some of what happens in movies. I mean, people asked me many times through the experience of Brokeback Mountain what that was like. And the best way I can describe it is what we all carry with ourselves from that experience, and why we feel so close. Forget all the awards that come, with people kind of adorning each other - it wasn't about that. There was something magical in that time. We all slept in our trailers out by a trailer park the first month of making that movie. I was sleeping next to Ang's trailer; Ang's trailer was next to Heath and Michelle's trailer - they'd kind of moved in together. And Michael Hausman, the producer, brought his Airstream trailer down. And it was just us, by this river, for a month. And we would walk to set, and we would eat together, and we would all make coffee in the morning, and I would wake up in the morning and there would be Ang Lee doing Tai Chi outside of my trailer, and it was just magical. It was just magical."
To promote the movie, the cast appeared together on Oprah. For the first half of the show, it was just Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger fending off Winfrey's enthusiasm and curiosity. There is a sheen cast over the movie now - to some extent because of its subject matter but mostly because of Ledger's death - that leaves it and anything connected to it frozen, untouchable. So rewatching the two actors on Oprah, I was surprised to see Gyllenhaal alluding to times that the two of them didn't get on during the filming. Gyllenhaal seems surprised, too, when I mention this, as if he wasn't aware this was something he'd shared. But he remembers. The scene with the two of them by the river, for instance.
"Where Heath's character goes into how his father knew of two guys who lived together and he ended up seeing them killed and dead. I had always read it in a certain way. I heard it in my mind a certain way. And I had worked with these incredible actors like Dustin Hoffman and Susan Sarandon. When I worked with Dustin, he would always do things to me; in between a take, he would stop his lines, and he'd be like, 'You're a wonderful person,' or horrible things sometimes to jar me... getting a different response. And so I decided in this scene to gather the gumption" - this was when Ledger's part of the scene was being filmed and Gyllenhaal was off-camera - "and I don't subscribe to this really, changing lines on an actor, because I don't think I'm Dustin Hoffman, and I don't think I have the ability or the talent to do that to somebody. But I do think that changing intention sometimes on an actor when you're doing a scene when you're not on-camera is really interesting for them. But I did it at one point in this one scene, and I'd always heard it a certain way, so I was almost trying to move the scene to that place for him. He delivered the whole thing very, very straight, and he could feel me trying to do that, and I remember him getting really upset with me. And I remember him turning to Ang at the end of it and going, 'If he wants to tell me what to do, have him tell you'... We had these kind of exchanges, you know. But ultimately, the way I look at it was I was wrong, because he was brilliant. But at the same time I think, "Well, if I hadn't, would it have gone a certain way?" We balanced each other out. When I think about these things that happened then, we were very much alive in that movie. We were really living that movie. Not literally, but you think about those times in your life..."
One thing Gyllenhaal would do - feeding off the way Ledger had chosen to play the part of Ennis quietly, his teeth clenched - was to ask him in character, "What? What'd you say?" "Stupid me," Gyllenhaal comments now.
Did Heath never do anything that annoyed you?
"No. I always admired Heath. I always was kind of enamored by him, you know. I mean, yeah, sometimes it was hard to sit with him. He moved... He was a mover."
People have since suggested that he was really, really troubled by having to do all that promotion and campaigning. Was that your sense?
"Yeah. He was very sensitive. He didn't always really have a sense of performance in his everyday life. He was who he was. I think actors very often, they know how to present something, and that's part of their job. I think he was just really sensitive. We often used to do a lot of things together, because people were very interested in him and I think we felt safe together."
For example, he says that when he and Ledger had to introduce Ang Lee at the Directors Guild awards, Ledger refused point-blank to say anything jokey about Lee, as might have been expected at such an event. Their introduction was consequently so serious and earnest, says Gyllenhaal, that when Lee came up to the stage, he told them, "That was so gay."
Still, he also remembers how much they'd be laughing backstage at events: "For such a serious actor as Heath was, he was crazy funny. Dark funny, but funny." Out front, they came to be sobered by people's reactions, as they realized that the movie was bigger than all of them, bigger than they'd realized. Gyllenhaal tells me a strange thing about the filming, an experience he'd just rhapsodized about as so magical: "In retrospect, it just was a painful process." As though there's no reason why both memories should not be equally true. "I don't think any of us can watch it to this day," he says. "I remember talking to Michelle very recently and her being like, 'I didn't know if it was any good or not.'"
Afterward, he and Ledger stayed in close touch. "We'd talk a few times a month. I mean, he was a friend. He was like my creative partner." The news of Ledger's death came while Gyllenhaal was filming Brothers.
Could you make any sense of it at all?
A lengthy pause. "I don't really like talking about it. That period of time was... It was difficult."
What effect do you think it had on you?
"Even when we did Brokeback and stuff, it was like my work was the only thing that mattered to me. It was like I could only understand or define myself through doing that. Life, I didn't totally understand. And I think I was afraid of life. And I had success in my work, enough success that you could keep going back there. But after that happened... I think I recognized that it was work. And I recognized that this is for real."
"This" being life?
"It's for real."
What were you scared of?
"It seems to me that there are some people who go, 'All right, I'm grabbing the bull by the horns. Let's do this...,' and there are some people who it takes a while to figure out. It's an everyday struggle to be able to go, 'I'm going to follow my own instincts - I'm going to try and hear my own heart regardless...' We're getting pretty deep here. I mean, there are things that I want in my life. You can hide in your work, I guess I'm saying, or you can be alive and free and live in your work. You can pretend the people that you're going to work with for however many months are going to be the family that's going to be forever. But the truth is, they're not. And no matter what relationships you make along the way - which have been occasionally really, really influential in my life – ultimately I choose all the mishegoss, and all the complication and confusions of life, which takes courage and patience to sift through. Over the temporary moment of 'Oh, I'm comforted in the womb of this family.' I choose the other. I hate to say this, but - "Gyllenhaal smiles - "it's time to jump."
***
There is a famous scene in Brokeback Mountain where Ledger's and Gyllenhaal's characters jump together off a cliff into a river, both of them naked.
In reality, Ledger made the jump but Gyllenhaal did not. Originally the leap was to have been from a lower ledge, but Ledger wanted to go from right at the top. They were told how careful they would have to be, falling from that height, because they might hit the river's shallow bottom, and they were also warned of the hazards presented by the glacial water. Gyllenhaal realized he wasn't so sure about it. He had just been cast in Jarhead, and that shoot was starting soon. He knew that if he injured himself, he would lose the part. And he was comforted by a precedent: he remembered a story he had heard in his youth, about how Paul Newman, a family friend, hadn't actually made the leap in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. He decided to let a stand-in jump in his stead.
I ask him whether Ledger didn't, after all they had been through together, say to him, "You're wimping out on this?"
"It's interesting - he never did say that. I would have loved for him to have said that."
Would it have made you feel bad?
"Maybe. Yeah, probably. But I was actually really, really proud of myself that I didn't do it. For me, it was a great triumph. You know, there's a pressure that people put on themselves to not trust their instincts. You know, show the stunt guys I can do it, prove it to this person, prove it to that person. Who do I need to prove it to? And Heath didn't do it for any of those reasons - he did it because he wanted to jump."
Do you at all regret not doing it now?
"Yeah. But that's me now."

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 2745 Newer› Newest»^^That's extremely desperate and pathetic behaviour.
Bad dog
LOL.
But why did Jake seem annoyed with paparazzi even with Reese when we presume it was all arranged?
Jake was pretending to be something other than the pathetic pr whore he's become since Reeke, so he tried to look pissed at the press. It didn't work.
Just like Reeke.
Harvey Levin is usually busy breaking news about other people.
But the managing editor of TMZ.com and executive producer and host of TMZ on TV got personal this week while hosting a fundraising event in West Hollywood for the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association.
“I really wanted to do this and I’m really pleased and honored that you guys asked me to come here,” he told the crowd. I’m a longtime NLGJA member and arrived at the East-West Lounge Wednesday night early with the hopes of snagging an interview with Harvey about being gay in the news business and how that has affected his life and career. He said his employer Warner Bros. isn’t keen on his doing such things without clearance. (But we did snap a photo together, see below)
I was disappointed at not getting an interview but then pleased when Harvey touched on many of the topics I’d wanted to discuss in his remarks to the crowd.
“I’m thinking back a long time when I was starting out as a TV reporter at a local station in LA and I remember at the time – I was probably in my late 20s – and I remember this hell-like fear that if anybody in that newsroom found out that that I was gay, that it would be over,” he said. “I built it up in my head. I was so terrified that somebody would find out.”
Now 59, Harvey remembers a time when he desperately tried to keep his lives separate: “I compartmentalized my life. Obviously friends knew I was gay but professionally I had to shut it out. And I believe, at the time, there was good cause for thinking I’d get fired. It got to a point where I was agoraphobic. My biggest joy was just never having to leave my house.” He remembers that when he was out with friends and if they were in a gay establishment, he used his ability to scan a room “in three seconds” to find out if there was anyone he knew there.
“I’d would immediately look for someone who worked sat the station,” Harvey said. “I remember walking into this restaurant that was primarily a gay restaurant and I ran into this woman who worked at the station and I thought, ‘Oh my God, it’s over.” … I was so upset that I left.”
“It got to a breaking point with me where I just finally said, ‘This isn’t worth it.” And I just let it go. And nothing happened.” Harvey went on to work steadily in television and in the entertainment business. He was legal reporter for KCBS in Los Angeles, legal consultant and later host for two incarnations of The People’s Court and prior to TMZ, was creator and executive producer of the show Celebrity Justice.
“I think a lot of people build it up in their heads and they need people to see that it’s not a big deal,” he said of his sexuality. “I think it’s important for people to see that you can survive and thrive and do well and prosper and there are no recriminations for the most part – although there are in some cases.”
“Still acknowledging that there are prejudices, that fact that what people build up in their heads is often way more than the reality than what it is,” he added. “Even if the reality isn’t freedom from that kind of discrimination, the feeling that ‘Who cares?’ and that you can push it and challenge it is also really important.”

It obviously didn't work.
Anne and bf out and about
^^^ Boyfriends's shorts are sooooo GAY!
Harvey Levin - it also depends in what country you live. Gays and lesbians sure have it more difficult in very religious and/or fundamentalist countries.
Boyfriends's shorts are sooooo GAY!
Gays have much better taste.
This guy is plain gross.

I wish someone would ask Harvey Levin about being part of keeping closeted celebrities in the closet reporting.
This guy is plain gross.
IA but Anne seems very in love, lots of PDA in pics with him.

He has no job, lives from her money. I guess he must be very good in bed (although he doesn't look like it).

HectorRochas: I just ran into Jake Gyllenhal and Busy Phillips at Hollywood Farmers Market.
about 2 hours ago
I just ran into Jake Gyllenhal and Busy Phillips at Hollywood Farmers Market.
So, and where is Michelle?
What do you mean by so?
Yeah, but were they really together or he ran into them separately? It's not clear from the tweet.
Ask HectorRochas.
What do you mean by so?
I know both are godparents of Matilda, but I didn't know they hang out. Why would they shop together w/o Michelle? But maybe they weren't together. I mean both were there, but maybe they didn't come together.
Jake and Busy probably met by chance at the market.
Why would they shop together w/o Michelle?
Maybe Michelle was there but the guy didn't notice her?
Is it Atticus's b-day?
Yes. Send steak.
So maybe Matilda was there too? OK, I'll stop now, lol.
Ricky. Just imagine - Ricky, Jake, BT, Valentino, Matteo and Atticus!
Can I eat the babies?
Maybe Michelle was there but the guy didn't notice her?
Maybe.
ATTICUS!!!
If Michelle and Jake would've been together at Farmers Market there would've been lots of tweets. We don't even know if the guy saw Jake and Busy together or separately, probably the latter.
^^It would be a funny coicidence if they both were at the Market at the same time.
Where they together or not? We have to ask HectorRochas. ;)
LOL @ the Pinto post on ONTD. Lots of shipping. :D
You fuckers need to set up twitters so you can innocently ask people about their sightings and get more info for us!

I need young and tender not old dry tough meat like Daddy.

I'll bother when Jake is spotted with a hot guy, not when he and Busy Phillips are at the Farmers Market at the same time. Yawn.

ONTD - Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto Believe in Monogamy
Egads MORE PoP pics at IHJ.

Deal.
I would LOVE to have a dog like Atticus. His coat is so beautiful and thick and I love how unique he is with his ears. I always wonder if the bastard who gave him away to the city dog pound for euthanasia (because his ear didn't stand up) sees that he's with a famous actor now.
Someone should have asked that guy who tweeted about Jake and Heath at hockey games in Calgary for more info. Too late now.

"I'll bother when Jake is spotted with a hot guy"
You'll wait until then to set up a twitter?! You're gonna wait for something to just fall into your lap?! Even now you could be asking the last twitterer what Jake was wearing, what he was buying, if he was with Busy, if he was wearing a pinky ring, if he was fondling the cucumbers and bananas, if his fingers lingered on the cashier's hand during the money exchange.
In the end no one here will bother to set up a twitter.
Why would it be too late?
I'm too lazy to look for the tweet, but most importantly if I ask for details now, you will know my twitter ID. Not a good idea. ;)
Boxboy: Paper or plastic?
Jake: I prefer latex myself...oh you mean for the shopping bag - paper'll be fine, thanks.
"you will know my twitter ID"
IIRC if you have a twitter account you can send private messaging to each other.
Yeah, you can.
In certain angles Jake has a really pretty face: ihj
Now, let's just hope the film will be decent and not an embarrassement.
In certain angles Jake has a really pretty face: ihj
If you turn the pic 45 degrees clockwise you can see what he looks like lying down when you start to give him fantastic head. Just sayin.

That's fair. Normally I wouldn't care that much but I keep my account for personal use. Mixing real life with my guilty pleasure (internet gossip) is a no. :)
You need two twitter accounts :)
I wish someone would ask Harvey Levin about being part of keeping closeted celebrities in the closet reporting.
Just like Ted, Harvey isn't going to out someone. By the same token he doesn't promote bearding either; TMZ didn't take part of the Reeke theatrics and didn't cover the "breakup" story - they knew the truth.
Gee, the paps managed to find Anne and her boyfriend at a park, but not Jake and Anne having breakfast. And given that lately JJ seems to have a post on Anne everytime she farts, I wonder if the Jake and Anne tweet was made up.
There were two tweets, both are posted.
Just like Ted, Harvey isn't going to out someone.
Of course not, but it would be interesting to hear from someone like him about Hollywood closet.
TMZ didn't do a lot of Reeke promotion, but they did sell Reeke.
Austin I would stay and help with BT's diarrhea and constant screaming shrill crying jags but I have an important emergency meeting with Anne for breakfast all day to talk about the LAOD promotions. Really.
they did sell Reeke.
Bullshit. Provide the TMZ links where they "sold" Reeke.
Jake Gyllenhaal -- Ripped for Her Pleasure
http://www.tmz.com/2009/01/10/jake-gyllenhaal-is-totally-bi-ceps/
Ever heard of irony, 5:47/6:00?
There were two tweets, both are posted.
Only one is of Jake and Anne, the other is just Jake.
Jake was seen with Busy last year at the Coachella concert. Yes, he was there with Reese but clearly he saw or knew she was there and they all hung out together. I remember an earlier sighting of him with Busy and someone else right about BBM promotion time. He obviously knows her from Michelle (Busy was constantly with Michelle during BBM promotion in LA--she even attended the Oscars with Heath and Michelle). I think it's sweet. Matilda's godparents shopping together. By the way, Busy is married and has a kid so I doubt it was romantic.
As for Anne and her new bf--yeah, another loser. Sigh.
Only one is of Jake and Anne, the other is just Jake.
Yes - same time, same place.
Ever heard of irony, 5:47/6:00?
Yes and I'm sure TMZ readers didn't see any irony in TMZ Reeke posts.
I wonder if Busy has anything to do with BT.
I think it's sweet. Matilda's godparents shopping together.
How did you get this from that tweet? Seriously, stop reaching, people.
Jake: food
Busy: BT things
How did you get this from that tweet? Seriously, stop reaching, people.
Well, it's actually not so impossible for them to hang out. Both are godparents of little M., they saw each other tons during BBM promo time (and probably later too) and she seems to be a cool gal. So, why not.
As for Anne and her new bf--yeah, another loser.
I wouldn't exactly consider myself a loser if Anne wanted to hang out, support and have sex with me.
By the way, Busy is married and has a kid so I doubt it was romantic.
Doubt?!? Busy could be singe Miss USA and there would be no reason to presume anything romantic about Jake hanging out with a girl.
^^IMO he is a loser.
Ha. Maybe BT and Busy's baby are playmates.
Anne's bf, that is.
We should all be such lucky losers!
I wouldn't exactly consider myself a loser if Anne wanted to hang out, support and have sex with me.
IK, lol he must be doing somethin' right. ;)
Well, it's actually not so impossible for them to hang out. Both are godparents of little M., they saw each other tons during BBM promo time (and probably later too) and she seems to be a cool gal. So, why not.
No one said it's impossible. The point is, you can't tell from that one tweet if they were shopping or even there together.
IK, lol he must be doing somethin' right. ;)
He’s probably great in bed.
No one said it's impossible. The point is, you can't tell from that one tweet if they were shopping or even there together.
That's the thing with all tweets. You can never be 100% sure if they are credible.
6:24 #1, why is Anne's bf a loser? Because he's young, dresses funky, is unknown and doesn't have as much money as her? Why is he a "loser" but a girl in the same situation as him, dating a wealthy famous man, would never be called a "loser"?

I would call such a girl a loser too. Having no job and living from the bf's money. Yup, loser.
I would call that girl a "gold-digger."
That's the thing with all tweets. You can never be 100% sure if they are credible.
Same with blog posts, if someone writes a sighting on their blog site. For some reason the anti-tweeters HATE and doubt tweets yet they are willing to believe a blog post. ??!! The only thing that is provable is pics and tbh I've seen more sighting pics of Jake posted on twitter than on anonymous blogs.
I would call such a girl a loser too.
I would call that girl a "gold-digger."
I would call that girl and ask her what her secret is.
In a article entitled, "Our Hot Summer Flix Picks" there is a small blurb about PoP. They just can't seem to shake that "sandals" thing, lol:
"A popular action-packed video game series gets its first movie with Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (May 28), in which a buff Jake Gyllenhaal suits up with swords and sandals."
So you can only date men or women with an equal income to your own. That's sounds quite limiting.
Having no job and living from the bf's money. Yup, loser.
What?
So you can only date men or women with an equal income to your own. That's sounds quite limiting.
Anne's dude has NO income.
It's fine to date people with less income, as long as they work and have income and don't use their S.O.'s money for a living.
^^Do we know that for a fact?
That's the thing with all tweets. You can never be 100% sure if they are credible.
Wtf does credibility have to do with with it, did I say anywhere that I doubted the legitimacy of the tweet? I hate it when people don't read and reply with generic crap. I was talking about the little info within the tweet, based on it one cannot tell what they were doing ("shopping") or how ("together").
How do you know what he has for income or lack thereof? Are you his accountant?
I earn my keep by being loyal, keeping confidences and being affectionate.
WTF did Anne's boyfriend do to you to deserve the "loser" label? Do you know him?

Gold digging whore!

Didn't we discuss that already? It may be a coincidence that they were at the FM at the same time or maybe it's not a coincidenc since they both know each other for years and maybe hang out every once in a while?
WTF did Anne's boyfriend do to you to deserve the "loser" label? Do you know him?
Why are you passionately defending that guy? Who cares? Some think he's a loser, some don't.
We have to agree to disagree.
How do you know what he has for income or lack thereof? Are you his accountant?
No, but I read several times that he is a parasite. Ted C. had a post several months ago, criticizing Shulman for physically attacking a fan of Anne's who dared to approach her and ask for pic or autograph.
It's kinda odd that Busy & Jake go out together without Michelle.
It would be like Elaine hanging out with George without Jerry!!
Atticus said...
I earn my keep by being loyal, keeping confidences and being affectionate.
Yeah, we need to talk about that "keeping confidences" part, Atti!
Maybe he's her bodyguard and that is gainful employment.
Didn't we discuss that already? It may be a coincidence that they were at the FM at the same time or maybe it's not a coincidenc since they both know each other for years and maybe hang out every once in a while?
ffs, are you dense? I'm not talking about whether they were hanging out or not, because I don't fucking know, I'm talking about jumping to conclusions. That's what my original post was about, and the rest. Learn. To. Read.
From: I just ran into Jake Gyllenhal and Busy Phillips at Hollywood Farmers Market. -> To: Matilda's godparents shopping together. = how ????
7:16 PM - it's time to give it a rest.
Michelle has disappeared for 2 months, right after mother and sister Ledger left for Australia again. I hope she's ok. Maybe people are too hard to Michelle sometimes. It could be that she's in L.A. with Busy? She's a good friend.
From: I just ran into Jake Gyllenhal and Busy Phillips at Hollywood Farmers Market. -> To: Matilda's godparents shopping together. = how ????
People go to the markets to shop + Jake and Busy are Matilda's godparents + it is possible that Jake and Busy were together at the market = it is reasonable to think that Matilda's godparents were shopping together.
Maybe he's her bodyguard and that is gainful employment.
Does he look like a bodyguard to you? I feel out of the two, Anne is the one who'd rather be able to kick the bad guy's ass. LOL.
You are right, lol!
:)
Some women like to be the man in the relationship.
Hate on me all you want, bitches!
Hate on me all you want, bitches!
There must be something about him that is lovable to Anne. ;)
LOL - from the looks of it, she seems to like him. Is he an actor? Times are tough out there for jobs. Hopefully, it's just temporary. :)
Yes, he's an actor.
If you turn the pic 45 degrees clockwise you can see what he [Jake] looks like lying down when you start to give him fantastic head. Just sayin.
*swoooooon*

Jake's life is filled with fictions. In fact, the only thing dumber than Reeke, J/Austin and Babytile is the ludicrous idea that Jake is volunteering at the Beverly Hills Medical Center. Yes, that's why he goes there all the time! He volunteering his services, even though there is absolutely no evidence that any doctor, nurse, medical staff member or patient has ever worked with Jake is his voluntary capacity. Does anyone with an IQ above 60 actually believe this?
The whole 'Jake is volunteering' nonsense, which WDW pimps like bad aspirin at every conceivable opportunity, sounds like a PR spin job to cover up the fact that Jake is a semi-hypochrondiac who sees a doctor AND a therapist regularly.
The blurb about Jake working at the medical center on WDW is a running joke. Because he spends so much time there. Must be pretty dense not to get such an obvious joke.
I heard awhile ago that Jake goes to a therapist regularly.
Therapy? Still pining after Heath?
Must be pretty dense not to get such an obvious joke.
I know, really?! 9:51 probably also believes that a comment here by "Atticus" means Atticus really did think that and typed it out.
Does anyone with an IQ above 60 actually believe this?
LOL 9:51, since you think this obvious running joke is a PR spin with WDW in cahoots, I'd say your IQ is well below 60.
Ladies, be nice!
How about therapy in dealing with being closeted?
Therapy? Still pining after Heath?
LOL. U bet.
The blurb about Jake working at the medical center on WDW is a running joke.
Damn. I wanted to schedule my breast exam with him.
To quote "Les Bleues" (gay policier on M6 France), he'll find you have "too much breast" for his taste. :)
What? We love big boobs!
A 6.5 earthquake just hit Taiwan. Jeezus. WTF is going on?!

Daddy's always looking at girls tits. It's that other thing that scares him.
During LAOD filming I've had enough boobs to last me three lifetimes!
We had enough of Anne's boobs. There's plenty more pairs we've been looking at. Trust.
Shut up, Jake!
Nice try Jake, I know that you care only about this kind of boobs.
Queerty comment:
Hey boys and girlz, just found out who it is and no, it's not our Tay Tay :(
It's only Kenny Chesney. After his coming out announcment, he will be talking about his 'coming out' tour he's starting. Ricky Martin's 'coming out' was much more exciting than this will be.

The whole Gyllenhaal family have been seeing a therapist off and on for years as per Mama G. Jake mentioned it, Maggie said that she was seeing one during Sherry baby and Papa said he still sees one once a week.
Viggo Mortensen and Orlando Bloom...kiss
Jake was pretending to be something other than the pathetic pr whore he's become since Reeke, so he tried to look pissed at the press. It didn't work.
Just like Reeke.
Reeke was a mistake, without a doubt. IMO Reeke was definitely a convenient "hook up" or arrangement, for him to lose the gay rumors and for her to not look like a loser after her husband left her for a younger chick. It was also not bad for Jake being accosiated with a new Oscar winner and one of (at the time) America's darlings (like it wasn't bad being accosiated with Kirsten when she still was on top, before she went downhill because of booze and drugs... that's when he left her imo). And Reese dating a young, handsome, up and coming actor wasn't bad either. Were they friends for a while? IDK. Maybe more than friends for a while? IDK. Was it a bearding/image combo arrangement or "just" an image arrangement? IDK. I just know that, imo, the arranged stuff went over board, it became overexposure, which Jake did not dig at all. IMO he ended it and she, being an old meanie that she is, annouced it before time during his movie promotion. She's a bitch no question about it.

Reeking was bad for Jake - boring wimp is not a good public image for someone who wants leading men roles.

He ended up looking like a wimp. I doubt it was the initial intention.
He ended up looking like a wimp.
No, Jake was made look like a wimp and a tool from day one (November 2006) to the end of the showmance.
Jake signed the contract - no-one else is to blame
Jake's incompetent management and PR are to blame - they are supposed to be professionals, people who know publicity business.
Sorry, they didn't hold a gun to his head.
Sorry, they were in position to negotiate and/or influence the amount of shit produced by Reese's PR team, that is their job.
Dear Ted:
How bisexual is Anna Paquin, really? I kissed a few girls in college. Somehow it seems girls have less trouble kissing girls than guys have kissing other guys. But kissing a same-sex person once or twice doesn't really make you bisexual, don't you agree?

Dear Bi-Curious:
A.Paq is no wannabe celeb trying to get attention by manipulating her sex appeal. She announced her bisexuality to bring awareness to a cause, so I'd give her a bit more clout than a few drunken makeouts with other chicks.
Bitch-Back! Angelina in a League of Her Own?
Walking the red carpet at the World Premiere of #PrinceofPersia will be Jake Gyllenhaal, Gemma Arterton, Sir Ben Kingsley, Toby Kebbell...

LOL
LOL I wonder how Renee Z feels about Kenny coming out, and if Bradley Cooper will feel the Renee's My Beard spotlight on him.
Kenny coming out sounds very optimistic to me, few weeks ago, on Oprah, he was very much in the closet. But yes, that coming out would be interesting.
HectorRochas: I just ran into Jake Gyllenhal and Busy Phillips at Hollywood Farmers Market.
Chad Michael Murray was at Farmers Market on Sunday too. Maybe Jake, Busy and Chad met up and compared notes on Sophia.
I miss everything!
Who is Chad Michael Murray?
Poor Austin :)
Chad Michael Murray is Sophia's ex-husband.
Sophia's ex husband.
^^Never mind, just saw on imdb that he is a fellow cast mate of One Tree Hill (I don't watch that show).
He was on OTH at the beginning up until a few years ago. Not on it now though.
Chad Michael Murray is Sophia's ex-husband.
Yeah, just read that too.
I'm interested to know if Austin and Sophia know each other from the show or earlier? Wasn't there a pic of her with Jake?
I'm interested to know if Austin and Sophia know each other from the show or earlier?
Much, much earlier.
Much, much earlier.
Do you know from when?
On Sunday Sophia was at home toning up her vocal chords with a cement sander.
Wasn't there a pic of her with Jake?
Yes. There are also pictures of Jake, Austin and Sophia where Jake was cut out - arranged by Jake's PR I presume - but you can see a bit of Jake's shoe.
I'd be shocked if it was Kenny Chesney. I can't see most country music fans accepting that. A lot of fans were breaking their Dixie Chicks cds a few years ago and all they did was state the obvious that Bush was an embarrassment, lol.
I could be wrong but Austin and Sophia might have known each other from college. Didn't they both go to USC?
I think it would be a great thing if it were Kenny Chesney coming out on May 5. Talk about visibility in a conservative segment of society. Even discussions of divorce a la Alan Jackson didn't go over well in country music. That would be a brave thing for Kenny to do.
Do you know from when?
At least since 2005.
Sophia Bush ... Brooke Davis (149 episodes, 2003-2010)
Austin Nichols ... Julian Baker (35 episodes, 2008-2010)
Did she get Austin into the show?
Did she know Jake earlier than Austin?
Ahh yes. Austin graduated and Sophia attended for 3 years.
I could be wrong but Austin and Sophia might have known each other from college. Didn't they both go to USC?
According to imdb she didn't go to college.
Ahh yes. Austin graduated and Sophia attended for 3 years.
Really? Where did you read this? Can you provide a link to the source?
It's on her Wiki page.
Never mind, found that on wikipedia:
Bush, an only child, was born and raised in Pasadena, California[1] to Charles William Bush, an advertising and celebrity photographer, and Maureen, a photography studio manager.[3] Bush has Italian ancestry,[4] and attended Westridge School for Girls (Pasadena), as well as the University of Southern California. She was a member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority,[5] where she served as Social Chair.
"In 2000, she was the Tournament of Roses Parade Queen. Bush attended USC for three years before landing the role of Brooke Davis on One Tree Hill (2003)."
^^I guess she knows Jake through Austin and maybe she got Austin the gig in her show.
It may be the way the Chicks expressed themselves about George Bush that was the problem.

Yes, probably.
That would be a brave thing for Kenny to do.
Damn! Do I have to?
Austin also had a part in Wimbelton staring Kirsten Dunst. I guess she helped him get the part being Jake's gf at the time.
I wonder what will happen to Austin's career when OTH is over?
Austin also had a part in Wimbelton staring Kirsten Dunst.
Jake wanted his boyfriend around :)
It would also be intersting to get some updates re. Jake and Austin. Was is just a fling? Are they still together? If not, did they remain friends? We hear nothing. It's weird.
It may be the way the Chicks expressed themselves about George Bush that was the problem.
Well, yeah, that was the talking point that was spread around, but as 10:40 AM pointed out country music is still basically a very conservative segment of society and very prevalent in the bible belt, where it is believed that being gay is a "lifestyle choice."
Not weird at all, Us Weekly doesn't report about closeted Hollywood relationships.
Jake wanted his boyfriend around :)
I'm not denying that Jake and Austin already had a fling during his ship with Dunst, but I think Austin wants to make it in Hollywood, like every actor, and his friends sure are willing to help him out.
Someone has to stand up, some time.
Kenny, we would still love you I am sure, even more so.
I think, but don't have the statistics, that a lot of people from the South serve in our military, and the Dixie Chicks' comments might have been interpreted as not supporting them. While many may have been anti-war also, that wouldn't have set too well. JMO.
Chad Michael Murray was at Farmers Market on Sunday too. Maybe Jake, Busy and Chad met up and compared notes on Sophia.
I doubt it. I still believe Jake and Busy were together there not by chance. It would be too much of a coincidence. Though everything is possible.

:x
it is believed that being gay is a "lifestyle choice."
That's what my Uncle Daddy says.
Austin Nichols was raised in Austin, Texas from birth until the age of 18, when he moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in pictures. He graduated from the University of Southern California in 2002 with a degree in creative writing. Some years ago, Austin broke off his engagement to Claire Oswalt, his girlfriend of seven years. And his sister, Ashley Nichols, recently gave birth to a baby girl, making Austin an uncle.

Is this Austin's ex?
Claire Oswald bio
I think it is her.
I doubt it.
Ahh another one (or the same one) who doesn't get it.
Austin broke off his engagement to Claire Oswalt, his girlfriend of seven years.
The seven year itch and I knew how to scratch it!
There are a lot of people with irrational beliefs, even in the *gasps in horror* Northeast and West Coast!
Austin dated Claire until 2004. Prior to that they were dating for 7 years.
Those bastions of liberal thought. The ones who approved Prop 8!
Nichols has been friends with fellow actor Jake Gyllenhaal since the two met on the set of The Day After Tomorrow in 2004. Nichols said in one interview, "I've learned a ton from Jake. He's a really sharp guy. He told me everything about acting, the business, girls, life."[2] After the film was made, there were some rumors that the two were a couple, which Nichols dismissed as "all new to me" and "ridiculous".[30]
It's interesting he broke off the engagement the same year he did TDAT.
