I give Jake HIGH marks for admitting this. It was obvious to us that he felt this way about Heath. The fact that he's admitting this to a journalist is quite remarkable and I'm surprised not more is being made about this quote instead the focus is on that stupid regurgitated every man needs to find the right woman and every woman...yawn. That's not the real revelation in this article-it's about his feelings about Heath.

I completely agree with you. There was so much speculation here about the nature of Jake’s feelings for Heath and lo and behold right from the horse's mouth - he was always enamored with him - and then ... crickets chirping. No one cares. lol, funny.

I agree. Some posters will twist and turn everything to make Jake the bad guy. This one can’t be spun unless they say he lied or it was damage control (hmm, I’m giving them ideas ... 3, 2, 1 ... ;) ) so instead it gets ignored in favor of negative things. God forbid Jake does something right. I criticize Jake when he deserves (though love and all that) it but I also give him credit when credit is due.

Trolly knows Jake flashing his rings means he and/or his pr does care about these sites.


Somebody sure does care since someone spent a whole lot of time on OMG from the Sea Gull Motel in Wrightown, NC during Austins first season on OTH.
Of course that was Mon thru Thurs. The mystery person dissappeared on the weekends.
Wrightown is a smaller town which is right next to Wilmington where OTH is filmed.
That little bit of news scared the hell out of the trolls a couple nights ago on OMG:-)

Now that's a joke, you are criticizing a man who doesn't give a shit what anyone on this blog thinks. Jake has you so obsessed with him to the point of "if you can't have him, let's talk shit about him to make ourselves feel better" mentality. It's middle America he cares about at this point. Jake will never be the savior to the gay community. If he does come out, his career is over and if his career fails like some of you are hoping, his coming out won't mean a thing. He will just be a washed up gay actor.

You should change the name of this blog to "We hate Toothy". I thought you were supposed to be supportive not homophobic and yes that's what some of you are being. Such radical comments, are some of you closeted conservative republicann?

Okay, some compliments. ;)

Jake gives better interviews than most actors. He may be unable to speak in logical sentences, but overall, his narrative is well-shaped - even expertly shaped - to reveal just enough personal detail while still keeping the mystique. I like the way he thoughtfully provides self-enhancing metaphors to bookend his stories with. There is a nice amount of self-deprecation that endears him to us. It's also to Jake's credit that he's able to discuss embarrassing examples of his own arrogance. Giving advice to Fincher. Bullying Heath. Going mental on Brian Geraghty in Jarhead. Telling stories on yourself is a good way to deflect criticism.

In all, Jake is very good at public relations, and he does what's needed to fulfill promotion requirements in a charming way. I can give no higher praise!

That said, I think the GQ interview is surprisingly subversive. It ostensibly celebrates Jake, but the subliminal message, both in words and pictures, is "Jake is [a] Huge [Ego]". I'm sure Jake would freely admit that anyway, so no biggie. Funny, though.

You're right. No one cares about Heath.

Hmmm.

Heath is the love of Jake's life. I am dead serious. (No pun intended.) I would bet a dozen Oscars no one will ever surpass Heath as Jake's "creative partner." If Jake is straight, Heath will always be the idolized friend and actor from that "magical" time, part of a peak experience. If he's gay, Heath may also be a hot dream guy others will have to measure up against. Jeebus, Jake is fucked!

Jake Gyllenhaal Talks Heath Ledger with GQ, May 2010 said...

Actor opens up about his late co-star and friend

It’s been a little over two years since the body of Heath Ledger, aged just 28, was found lifeless in his apartment, after he’d overdosed on over the counter medication. Since then, his “Brokeback Mountain” co-star and friend Jake Gyllenhaal has kept very quiet about what it was like to work with such a talented actor as Heath was and, most importantly, about the pain his sudden death brought about. Jake breaks his silence in the May 2010 issue of GQ magazine.

Dressed up to the nines in a dashing J.Crew shirt and Prada suit, Jake says the experience of making “Brokeback Mountain” is one that he’ll always be carrying with him, both because of the wonderful people he met on the set and because of how they bonded. For instance, they all lived in trailers for about a month by the side of a river to shoot a few scenes, and this made them bond in ways they couldn’t have if they were to shoot on a closed set. The entire cast, director and producers would get up in the morning at the same hour to have coffee together, in what Gyllenhaal describes a “magical” experience.

The same goes for working with Heath, undeniably one of the most talented actors of his generation. “He was very sensitive. He didn’t always have a sense of performance in his everyday life. He knew 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,” Jake says.

As for losing Heath, the actor says he had serious trouble dealing with that. “I don’t really like talking about it. That period of time was… it was difficult. 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,” Gyllenhaal explains.

The British-born actor, 37, was snapped out in Los Angeles yesterday and was almost unrecognisable as he went for a hike with a (male) friend.

The sexy shaved head, flat stomach and defining jawline have been replaced by a fuzzy head of hair, a rounder face and a bulging gut.
But Miller didn't appear to be too concerned about his fuller figure as he laughed and joked with his friend, all too aware that the cameras were on him.

It's painful to watch footage of the TIFF BBM Press Conference. The moderator's an ass, and you can sympathize with Jake's discomfort and irritation when he starts up about Jake's family. But the interesting thing is how Heath and Jake respond to the dumb question about whether the other is a good kisser. It's their different approach to the business and life in a nutshell. Jake protects himself by smoothly deflecting with a joke. Clever. Crowd laughs, media is charmed. Heath gives himself no protection, answers it straight. Makes crowd feel bad for being frivolous. Media resents him. Not smart. You can also see James Schamus tried to protect him/them... "I've got nothing funny to tell you."

10:59, you need to take a deep breath and calm down. Seriously. Jake has people kissing his ass up one side and down the other on a daily basis, and gets his ego stroked plenty :) So maybe you should put your energy into worrying about someone else who actually needs your concern. As for "wanting" Jake, lol - you also need to stop projecting your feelings onto others. Speak for yourself. I care about gay rights, but as a straight woman, I certainly don't "want" a gay man for myself, lol! Oh, and while you're at it - please stop making such broad generalizations and silly remarks about changing the name of the blog - there's a healthy mix here of attitudes, some are positive, some critical, most in-between, so what? If you want adoration and fawning 24/7 there's other places for that.

President Obama orders hospital visit rights for gays said...

"There are few moments in our lives that call for great compassion and companionship that when a loved one is admitted to the hospital ... Yet every day, all across America, patients are denied the kindnesses and caring of a loved one at their sides ..."

Gay and lesbian Americans are "uniquely affected" by the relatives-only policy at hospitals, Obama said, adding that they "are often barred from the bedsides of the partners with whom they may have spent decades of their lives - unable to be there for the person they love, and unable to act as a legal surrogate if their partner is incapacitated."

The president listed widowers without children and members of certain religious orders among those who suffer under the policy.

President Barack Obama has told the Department of Health and Human Services to establish a rule that would not allow hospitals to deny visitation privileges to gay and lesbian partners.

Kudos, 11:03 - your entire post was extremely insightful and an excellent and fair description, imo. Jake is extremely media aware and media savvy - by admitting his own arrogance, he has found a way to make it seem charming. Quite a feat, actually, not many people can pull that off :)

I liked what he said about Heath very much - I do think that was as close to being really open as he can get, and I can't blame him for not wanting to share more about him.

In today's Bitch Back a small mention re TT: And as always with beards, there's different levels. Whereas folks like Toothy Tile have a top-notch, no-nooky gal

Anonymous said...

Dear Ted:
You said "I never said Nevis had a beard per se" in a B.B. yesterday. However, in a B.V. from about a month ago on Nevis, you said: "Only problem? He can't decide whether his beard or ex-boyfriend is the perfect fit for him..." That looked like a beard per se to me. So, could you please clarify this for us: Is Nevis' GF his beard or the real deal, and how does she get along with the ex-BF? Are they perhaps more of a triad than a couple? Because that would be...interesting. Anyhow, you're probably going to get tons of crap about this, sorry about that, don't let it get to you. We B.V. sleuths are kind of obsessive about the clues you give, and the beard comment from a month ago about Nevis seemed like a big clue.
—Agusta

Dear Caught!:
Nevis and his lady have a quite...complicated relationship. And as always with beards, there's different levels. Whereas folks like Toothy Tile have a top-notch, no-nooky gal, Nevis's sometimes-GF is in-the-know and in-the-action, but it's still up in the air who he prefers: this babe or his boy. We should all have problems like this.

Yeah, it was painful. I hated those stupid, lame kissing questions - anyone who asked always sounded like a 12 year old. But Heath's reaction is exactly why I admire him so much - he just doesn't play the game and that takes integrity. I love that he made the crowd aware of their own behavior.

No doubt there is stuff put out there that is exaggerated, embellished, and taken for a spin -but THIS - well, it's crystal clear to see that this guy speaks the truth. You can tell that story really happened just the way he described. "He hides who he really is for reasons I can only assume are valid." He nails it.

Taylor is the new great gay hope? said...

Lautner being called "The Great Gay Hope!"

Y'all ready for this? LimeLife has just received an exclusive report that Twilight teen-dream Taylor Lautner attended a party at the home of a well-known gay socialite last weekend. We have the scoop, and the news has people everywhere cheering! (Except, perhaps, for teen girls.)

This may explain the wishy-washy Taylor Swift situation. A source with close ties to the Velvet Mafia, (also known as "The Gay Mafia") has told Limelife that Taylor Lautner partied at the home of openly gay X-Men director Bryan Singer last week. Singer's party kicked off Thursday evening, and Lautner spent a few hours there before leaving well into the wee hours of the night.

To be clear, Taylor Lautner was not seen kissing any other party-goers (a group composed almot completely of gay men), but, as our source says, Lautner "got the party -- and now the gay community -- buzzing about his presence."

And his role as Stretch Armstrong in an upcoming movie based on the popular toy from the Seventies is only stirring speculation -- adds our source, "Taylor is the new great gay hope. Ricky Martin coming out is about as exciting to the gay community as Larry King posing naked in Playgirl. The mere thought of Taylor Lautner being gay is what gay men everywhere are dreaming about."

We've been hearing the same for the last year. Our source noted that Bryan Singer is well-known for throwing parties with loads of gay Hollywood types flanking his home. The insider also offered this insight: "Think about it. Teenage girls have moved on from Taylor Lautner to Justin Bieber. Maybe they sense something ."

Okay, that may be taking it too far...but an intense report nonetheless!

It sounds to me like Nevis is truly bisexual, and enjoying both relationships. Of course Ted hasn't exactly been very clear when writing about Toothy either lately.

Considering Rob and Tom are apparently unable to be separated for any length of time (see: Tom following Rob out of the country to film his new movie), I'd say Tom is the real deal. Rob goes along with it up to a point but he doesn't play the PR game like they wish he would. He's pretty much a PR nightmare since the boy has never had a filter. He's clearly counting down the days until he's done with Twilight so he can be out of that mess.

"Kirsten Dunst will be taking on the lead role in the upcoming Lars von Trier sci-fi disaster film Melancholia alongside Kiefer Sutherland and Alexander Skarsgard.

Penelope Cruz was originally tapped for the role, but she signed on to Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides instead."

Anonymous said...

A big part of Dunst's success is she picks good film roles.

Anonymous said...

Whatever she was to Jake (IMO she was a gf) you have to admit he had his best roles/movies when he hung around with her. I think she had a big influence on him choosing good scripts. Seems like after they broke up, [and his movies like BBMt and Jarhead, that she probably had input on, were made] his script choices haven't been all that great.

Dear Ted:
I love Peter Skarsgård and Maggie Gyllenhaal. They are both talented and seem down-to-earth. Have they ever been a Blind Vice, apart or together?
—Cine

Dear Sweet One:
Wow, good one. Nope they have not. Forget about them sometimes! But, when it comes down to it, ultimately, just don't think these two have quite the sinful sizzle to get them into Blind infamy.

Dear Ted:
Have Toothy Tile and Saucy Bossy ever worked on a film together? If so, did any extra-curricular kinky activities happen between the two down-low studs?
—G

Dear Hollywood is Small:
They're acquainted, yes.


^^Those letters were one after the other.


Dear Ted:
I have a question regarding an oldie but goodie Blind Vice! Was Oded Good-Head servicing some random dude, or an equally famous hottie?
—Mary in Cali

Dear Good Head Indeed:
The guy wasn't famous, no. But, Oded sure is, especially lately. More than ever.


Dear Ted:
You've stated that you don't use more than one moniker for the subjects of your Blind Vices—for ince, once Toothy Tile, always Toothy Tile. However, is it possible that a subject with a moniker was once the subject of another Blind Vice back in the day when your column was a weekly column and you didn't have monikers for your subjects? That is, could someone like Fey Oiled-Tush, who first appeared in your column in 2008, have yet another older Blind Vice attributed to him that had no mention of Fey Oiled-Tush or any other moniker back then?
—ugbugmemenotnot

Dear Outsmart Me Not:
Even though I'm far too confused at this point to follow you, exactly (the science you folks make this celeb debauchery out to be is pretty impressive), let me repeat: no Blind Vice member has ever had more than one name. Never has, never will.

Bitch Back!

Sweet story about Jake's godchild Matilda.
Chatting Up the Trophy Girl, Toddler Style


Thanks for posting :)

Matilda heard a song she liked, and she started swaying in her seat. “I like to dance!” she exclaimed. “Dance with me, Eliot!”
...

“Hey, kids, look at this,” he said in a spooky voice. Still in the Halloween spirit, he wore a tattered zombie costume out of which he started to pull wads of newspaper in a disturbing manner, all the while contorting his face in agonized expressions straight out of “Night of the Living Dead.”

Because Matilda was 3, her reaction was: “Ooh! Ha, ha, ha!”

Because Eliot was 2, his reaction was to contort his face in fear, burst into tears and cry very, very loudly.

Matilda said, “Mommy, Mommy — that baby is crying.”

Thanks. That really is sweet - and bittersweet. She has Heath's inquisitiveness and it makes me ache all over again to know he isn't here to experience this :( But it was touching and funny, too.

I wanted to pick Eliot up and console him, though I wasn’t sure what “She’s just not that into you” might mean to a 2-year-old.

I didn't see anyone doing that. What might be considered "pathological" are these kind of over-the-top assumptions and the twisting of words. I'm not 9:58, but not believing K had a big influence on his movie choices doesn't equate to "jumping" at a woman being mentioned. Talk about an over-reaction.

Of course they aren't.
No one saw them together in 4 years, Kirsten said that they aren't in touch and it looks like they ignore each other (Montreal "reports") - it is obvious that the break was nasty and they aren't friends.

Now who's playing dumb? Maybe you are new here. All of the comments about women and Jake over the years and months, it's just when you add them all up - some can't give Kiki and credit at all, for anything, and put down any woman associated with Jake. It's pretty near misogyny, which I find strange considering probably most who post here are women. I don't know why that is. I like her, she's one of my favorite actresses, I have compassion for her situation, which I don't know the extent of, and I'll be glad to see her working again.

11:45, I'm not playing dumb and I'm not new - and your remark about "all the comments" and "years and months" proves my point that you're lumping everyone and everyone's posts together - that's what leads to assumptions and over-reactions. And it's fine that you like K and she's one of your favorite actresses - but, to me, that just further explains why you might be overly sensitive about her.

Out and proud: Kowalski tired of living a lie said...

FORMER Olympian Daniel Kowalski has joined the small number of elite Australian sportsmen who have publicly announced that they are gay.

Kowalski, who has won four Olympic swimming medals, told The Sunday Age that he was ''tired of living a lie'' and that he wanted young gay people to know that others have had their experience. The few elite male Australian athletes who have announced publicly that they are gay include the retired NSW rugby league player Ian Roberts and, more recently, Olympic gold-medal winning diver Matthew Mitcham.

Kowalski said he was inspired to make today's announcement after reading about the Welsh rugby player Garth Thomas, who announced last December that he was gay. He was so moved by Thomas's story that he contacted the player. The resulting conversations left him feeling ''excited and relieved'' for Thomas, but he also felt ''anger because I was jealous … he was out and felt liberated and free. ''And it really got me thinking that I could do that (come out) if I wanted to. I felt really compelled to do it because it's very tough to live a closeted existence.''

A story in last week's Sunday Age about AFL players and coaches coming together to campaign against homophobia showed that there was community support and helped convince the swimmer to tell his story now. Kowalski said he was not expecting more athletes to come out in the wake of his story. ''I just want them to realise that they are not alone, that the feelings that they have are probably quite common and that at the end of the day it's really OK. There will be hard times, but you surround yourself with great, supportive people who love you for you and you'll be OK.''

The former Olympian said that it wasn't until 2006, more than three years after his swimming career ended, that he told family and close friends that he wasn't straight. He feels now that he had been in denial about his sexuality during his high-profile career. ''Things pop in my head that make me realise that I clearly suppressed these thoughts of being gay … because it was 'wrong', as a male it's 'wrong' but even more as an elite athlete.''

And this denial may have affected his competitive edge. ''I always knew that I lacked confidence when I stood up on the blocks and I do wonder sometimes if that lack of confidence was fear - fear of not really knowing who I am,'' he said. ''On the sporting side, I lost to some amazing champions, so I'm not for a second saying that this is the reason I didn't win. I often wonder if the lack of self-confidence and lack of identity in many ways held me back from reaching my potential.''

For his own future, Kowalski wants what most people want: ''I look for all the things straight people do. I want to fall in love and be happy and be proud of who I am.''

12:57, miscommunication and misunderstandings are always a two-way street, in rl and especially on-line. Everyone brings their own issues, biases, etc. to the table in any conversation- we're all adults here, supposedly, and should all be aware of that. If you want to believe that the onus for any misunderstandings always lies with everyone else, and you couldn't possibly play a part in them - fine :)

Jake must surround himself with people who say come out mister and you will be broke. No roles. No money. Instead they tell him to lie and be miserable inside. Jake needs to grow up and take control of is life. Lets hope something wakes him up and he says NO MORE!

That's nice to hear, I'm sure Garth Thomas is happy about that too.

Florida Tom said...

What I am hoping is Jake establishes himself as an good actor and has enough money to make his Mom happy and then takes the plunge and tests the water. I still hope that Jake will be the one who proves that an out gay male actor can be successful. It is about talent. Make good movies and people will come see them. The people who hate gay men probably dont go to the movies anyway. and girls just like good looking guys. Gay or Str8.

In contrast, I think people like Bomer has surrounded himself with people who say you can have both. Don't think it is a coincidence that he's friends with Quinto, another one who refuses to play that game, and went to high school with Lee Pace, another one who is known to be gay but doesn't beard and engage in related nonsense.

Jake seems to have surrounded himself with old Hollywood advisors, hence the dated thinking. Bomer's boyfriend looks to the same age as he is, and is openly gay himself. Big difference from Austin. I wonder if Austin would be out if not for Jake.
