PR of course works for Jake, but if their goal is to make Jake seem straight and make him an A-list star, Jake is going to do what they suggest--like Reeke. Why he continued to buy into what they're selling after that disaster.....
But then again, he's clearly beholden to Disney and Bruckhimer, and selling a movie that with marketing will cost over $200 million, so again, Jake has to watch what he says.
No way Jake would say he was enamored of Heath if he was still alive. As awful as it is to say, it is "safe: for him to say it now that he is gone, and now that lots of others have poured out their affection for him. As genuine as his feelings seem--and I do think he was enamored of Heath--it fits into acceptable HW behavior.
I can also understand why people are suspicious of what he says in the interview with GQ. Once a liar, always a liar, and the rest of the interview is so phony. :-( Plus the timing of it bothers me, it's like he's using talking about Heath to get publicity for the interview/PoP.
- You don't think Jake's a closeted gay man because he used the word enamored? That doesn't follow.
- Maybe there was a romantic element, maybe not; but if Jake is so closeted, why would he blurt it out in GQ?
You are assuming things that don't follow. People's words about Heath reveal their feelings about Heath, not their own sexuality.
Everyone thinks John Travola is closeted, yet he said he "adored" Heath. He didn't try to hide his feelings for another man.
WD: Did you know Heath? How has his death affected you? JT: I did know Heath and I adored him. I am pretty devastated over this. He was my favourite actor and my favourite talent. It's like losing James Dean. I would give back all my awards and all my nominations just to have him back — I think he is a real loss as a persona and as a talent. WD: How did you meet him? JT: I wanted to meet him because I was very impressed with him from the very beginning. His agent introduced me to him at a party, and I just fell — I used every accolade. Actors need other actors to be inspired by, and he was "my" actor.
Matt Damon, who no one thinks is gay, also didn't try to hide his feelings.
"Heath's the best actor I've ever worked with," he says. "Coming off The Brothers Grimm, which wasn't particularly well-received, I remember telling people about him. 'Heath Ledger, you mean the guy from A Knight's Tale?' they would say. I'd tell them, 'No, you wait!' And then he did Brokeback Mountain and The Dark Knight. People just got a glimpse of what he was going to do. He was so full of life. I don't think I'll ever get over that, nor will anybody who knew him. He was a miracle of a man. It's just horrible. It sucks." He starts to tear up, and gulps down some much-needed mineral water.
Gay or straight, "adored" "enamored" or "miracle of a man"...all are saying, "I loved Heath."
Jake's statements may lack clarity and intelligibility (usually by reason of some emotional stress), but he has no problem choosing specific words and he knows what they mean.
I can also understand why people are suspicious of what he says in the interview with GQ. Once a liar, always a liar, and the rest of the interview is so phony. :-( Plus the timing of it bothers me, it's like he's using talking about Heath to get publicity for the interview/PoP.
I don't think Jake's using Heath to get publicity for PoP. It's inevitable he'd be asked about Heath in his first cover interview since Heath's death, that's all.
But I agree with you that the interview has a lot of phony in it. Jake's quite a trickster. Yet I think his feelings for Heath are real. Words can be phony, and a photo or two can be misleading, but many photos over time don't lie.
I had wind of a picture that could possibly contain BT in it but I took it all down. There didn't seem to be too much interest in it.
But what I had talked about was the possibility of BT being in that big PoP crew picture. Someone was nice enough to do the link up there (the big honkin' Crew Pic, lol because that's what I had called it originally).
See the little blond kid being held by the woman in about the second row, being held by a woman wearing a hood? They're in a blue outfit? The picture is from Special's post yesterday. It's the very first picture.
My question was why would someone hold their kid backwards for a big picture like that?
But what I wasn't sure was if that little kid was alot bigger than the one in that Paris video.
Just throwing it out there. The hood on the woman and the kid being held like that struck me as odd. Plus the fact that the child's coloring really doesn't match alot of the people in the picture.
Sorry for the delete & half-repeat, I'm a panicky sort, you know.
hooodlum: RT @cleolinda: Please tell me this isn't shopped. RT @pennydreadfully: OMG. THIS IS THE BEST PICTURE OF JAKE GYLLENHAAL EVAR. http://tinyurl.com/y23rz48 (expand) 28 minutes ago
Everyone said such heartfelt things about Heath; that's why I wondered for so long why Jake didn't say anything, although deep down I knew that he must have felt the same way. The loss is huge; if fans feel it, you can only imagine how awful it must be for those close to him. Jake said just as heartfelt things as John and Matt. It's interesting that everyone says these things about how much they loved Heath, and how talented he was, not just boilerplate PR statements. I'm happy Jake did say something, confirming a lot of us did think, and I do agree it's personal and private. He didn't have to share it, and it seems he didn't until he was ready. He only revealed what he was comfortable with.
I was trying to say what you did - adore, enamor, miracle of a man - they all mean that these people loved Heath and feel the loss deeply.
...adore, enamor, miracle of a man - they all mean that these people loved Heath and feel the loss deeply.
I agree that all these people were expressing their love for Heath. I agree they all feel the loss, certainly some more deeply than others, depending on how much time they actually spent with him and how close they were. I don't believe, though, that their statements and words are interchangeable. Individuals and relationships are unique and I think the words they chose are specific and reflect their own unique relationship with Heath and their thoughts and feelings for him.
One of the biggest rewards is to conquer the heart of a str8 guy or a guy with whom it can go either way. At least he tried his best by declaring himself. I think Heath felt this tension - if not hearing it directly like us today -and was secretly pleased.
Dear Ted: Your column is rotting my brain! I used to read actual books, but now I just obsess about your column. So here's my query: Are there any A-list actors left who actually like the ladies? Name three? —KL
Dear Books Shmooks: I guess there are a few straight dudes in H'wood. Off the top of my head? Gosling, Worthington and...gosh, think that's about it.
What the uck was Jake doing batting his lashes when around him, trying to get a laugh out of Heath than trying to nab a str8 whom he loved. There's no greater achivement in the gaydom. Enamoured private feelings witnessed by a 3rd party? You betcha.
Are there any A-list actors left who actually like the ladies? Name three? Off the top of my head? Gosling, Worthington and...gosh, think that's about it.
Disney's new Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, to be released on 28 May, was filmed in Morocco, around Ouarzazate, Marrakech and Merzouga.
The View from Fez came across these quirky facts at tv.com:
AIM HIGH — The first shooting location for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time was at an altitude of 8,200 feet in the mountain village of Oukmaiden in the High Atlas Mountains, surrounded by indigenous Berber communities. The cast and crew had to acclimate themselves before proceeding with the demanding action sequences filmed there.
SANDS OF TIME, INDEED — The production battled ferocious sandstorms in of Ouarzazate, Morocco.
HEATED — Morocco offered 100+-degree Fahrenheit temps during production. Massive, air-conditioned tents were erected at the Lycee Hassan II school in Marrakesh. One, which was the size of a football field, housed wardrobe, hair and makeup for the film's background players. And adjoining tent was built just for washing and drying. It was a mind-blowing 124 degrees on the last day of Moroccan filming (Merzouga Sand Dunes outside of Erfoud). According to Morocco Facilities Manager Gregoire Mouveau, during filming in that country the Prince of Persia company consumed 1,114,894 bottles of water.
OSTRICHES — Typical warnings on call sheets in Morocco: 'PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH THE OSTRICH ON SET TODAY' or 'BEWARE – SNAKES & SCORPIONS CAN BE FOUND AT THIS LOCATION UNDER AND AROUND THE ROCKS. BE CAUTIOUS.'
SNAKE DUDE — A local Moroccan was hired to clear the shooting areas in the desert of a vipers and scorpions. Donning a t-shirt emblazoned with "Snake Dude," he was easy to spot. ...
Dear Ted: I'm a little confused by the argument some people use that if a gay A-lister comes out, such as Toothy or Nevis Divine, it will make it easier for other gay people to come out from all walks of life. Isn't coming out a personal journey for an individual? I don't believe a wealthy actor coming out in liberal Hollywood would make it easier for a young store clerk living in a small Southern town. Don't you feel it's too much pressure to put on actors and actresses who are not out to be unwilling role models? I understand the lying to the public is wrong, but I don't think outing people publicly or blindly is justified. —CB
Dear the Norm: You're right in that coming out is different for different people, but the more gay role models and gay public figures there are, the more exposure the noninformed get of the LGBT community—which is huge. And when those walls come down, coming out should be a bit easier for everyone, no?
David Archuleta Accidentally Goes to Gay Club, Tweets His Way Out of Rumors
said...
Charice, the 17-year-old Filipino singer, on Saturday performed her single "I Will Survive" at Club 57, the gay club in New York. Her pal David Archuleta, the American Idol sprite, attended. No homo!
Running to Twitter, Archuleta Clay Aikened his way through clearing up the rumor mill: "Last night in New York I got invited to go and see my friend Charice perform. Mental note to self: always ask where before you go! Wasn’t my kind of place lol, and I had no clue! I guess you live and learn."
Charice even, ahem, apologized for causing such drama.
Of course, one visit to a gay club in New York does not make you a homo. Liking other guys, however, does.

Facebook Hate Group's Goal: Vote Justin Bieber Out of Male Gender
said...
Tween YouTube singing sensation Justin Bieber apparently isn't masculine enough for some Facebook users who have set up a group that has attracted over 300,000 fans. The goal of the group, which posted this photo of Bieber to the page, is to vote Bieber out of the male gender.
Why? Well, according to some of the posters to the group:
Stars Rally Around Ricky Martin At GLAAD Media Awards
said...
Ricky Martin announced that he was gay in March, saying, “I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man,” and his fellow stars voiced their support for the singer at the 21st annual Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) Media Awards in Century City, Calif. on Saturday.
Access Hollywood spoke to a slew of celebrities who praised Ricky for coming forward and expressed hope that others would follow in his footsteps.
“My lofty goal in this world is that we can live in a world that doesn’t judge each other, I just want people to be able to live their lives that are true to them,” Drew Barrymore told Access backstage at the GLAAD Awards. I celebrate what [Ricky] is doing because, we have to create a world for each other where acceptance is first and foremost.”
“American Idol” Season 8 runner-up Adam Lambert hopes Ricky’s bravery will inspire other LGBT celebrities to be more open.
“It’s great to see people like [Ricky] feeling liberated to come out and come forward, and hopefully it will open the door wide open for more and more people to be comfortable with who they are,” he told Access on the red carpet.
Rob Halford, openly gay singer for heavy metal act Judas Priest, believes Ricky’s actions will help the gay Latino community.
“I think Ricky was really eloquent with the statement he made about the reason why he held back,” he explained to Access on the red carpet. “At the end of the day you’re dealing with a very personal and private issue… What he did was incredibly important for himself and the Latino community.”
“Modern Family’s” Sofia Vergara echoed others’ sentiments, saying, “It shouldn’t be an issue any more, but it’s hard to change things. He’s fantastic.”
Wanda Sykes applauded the singer, but also said she wasn’t surprised with his news.
“It’s not like we didn’t know Ricky was gay, come on!” She joked. “But good for him, I wish him well, I’m very happy for him.”

Whatever happened to the BT detectives? Are you out there somewhere?
When I have a chance (hopefully soon) I'll enlarge the pic in photoshop and post it. I initially zoomed it to 400x and noticed the guy behind her is motioning to the baby, like trying to get its attention or cheer it up; maybe it was crying and that's why it was facing towards the woman? Idk. It would be great if someone could estimate how old this baby looks in the pic and how old BT would have been during the POP shooting. It's possible that BT was in Morocco but with the high temps and land/weather conditions and considering the young age of BT, I honestly doubt it but who knows.
The guy behind her has his hand on her shoulder while he's pointing, like he's telling the baby to look "over there" to the front. Also the woman looks to be brunette and is wearing pants; can Moroccan women wear pants? (sorry I'm ignorant about these things)
What's LOL about outdoor group pics is everybody is wearing sunglasses. I've noticed though that most actors don't/can't wear them for pics or while filming. I wonder how their eyes are affected being exposed to bright light; not wearing eye protection causes cataracts. Squinting probably doesn't help either since it causes wrinkles.
They actually provide better protection than sunglasses because sunglasses can't keep out rays that get around the glasses. Wraparounds are the best. The lenses sit right on the eye and protect the cornea. Accu-vue makes 'em.
Clear or even tinted contact lenses don't protect the eyes from damaging UVA or UVB effects of the sun, sorry. For any lenses to do that, they would have to be as dark as sunglasses, and no contacts at this time have that technology (they would also have to lighten up instantly). I don't know where you got your "info" but it's wrong. If you can find a link to prove me wrong I would love it! I'd order them asap!
Although UV-blocking contact lenses provide important protection for users, they should not be considered an alternative to using sunglasses. Contacts should be worn in with high-quality UV-blocking sunglasses.
However, while a Nike MAXSIGHT lens may provide some benefit to the wearer versus no UV protection, Nike MAXSIGHT does not replace sunglasses for full protection of the eye and the surrounding ocular tissue.
You guys, what is odd about this is why would the baby be turned around like that? Like I said last night, if you had your kid in a big honkin' cool picture like this, and you wanted to tell your kid 20 years down the road, "Look, there you are!On the set of PoP!"
And the kid sees nothing but the back of his head. What the heck?
I'm going to point out that there are no other little children in this picture. This little blond tot sticks out like a sore thumb.
Here's a theory that someone else pointed out because it was brought up that why would you have a baby out in the heat like that and in an AC-cooled trailer.
Notice the tot is wearing long sleeves. Most everyone else except for the actors are in short sleeves. Is it possible that BT would be in an AC-cooled trailer while they assembled everyone for this big honkin' pic and then when they're about ready, Jake calls on a cell phone that they're ready and bring the kid in.
Because notice that the woman & tot are near the very front & near the end. Very easy for them to slip in there at the last minute as opposed to being in the center of that big mass of people.
I looked on IHJ for those Jardin de Bologna pictures and there's none of little BT in there. I guess that was only in the video. I had wanted to look at the kid's legs in that. They were kind of chunky little legs if I recall, tho not positive of that.
And in the video, the baby's legs are bent so we don't get a full reflection of the true length of the baby's legs.
Remember that when Jake filmed in Morocco, I guess he had a big place to stay at which was supposed to be very private. I believe BT was in Morocco.
Remember when he was in London, the requirements that the flat in London was supposed to have a private garage entrance.
I understand the place where he stayed at in Morocco was pretty big and had alot of rooms. Why would he need a large place to stay if it was only him staying there during filming?
yeah! Wow, you're quick. I sure didn't see this one. I saw a bunch of pictures leading up to that moment but not this particular picture. Hmm, this baby doesn't seem to have much hair although the baby is a little bigger than I remembered. I could've sworn the baby had more hair than that. Not sure how fast hair can grow on a little kid.
I could've sworn we had seen where the baby had blond hair before.
Neil Patrick Harris to Rupert Everett: Coming Out Didn't Sink Your Career Alone
said...
Well, maybe Neil Patrick Harris' words on The View for fellow homo-thesbian Rupert Everett weren't that harsh, but there was definitely a "quit your whining" message in here. Which is easier to say when you're a terrifically successful actor.
However, not all contact lenses offer UV protection, and, of those that do, not all provide similar absorption levels. Among contact lens brands, only Acuvue Advance, Acuvue Advance for astigmatismatism, and Acuvue Oasys contact lens brands carry the Global Seal of Acceptance for Ultraviolet Absorbing Contact Lenses from the World Council of Optometry, eye-care specialty concerned with eye examination, determination of visual abilities, diagnosis of eye diseases and conditions, and the prescription of lenses and other corrective measures. (The lenses are the only ones to offer the highest level of UV-blocking available, blocking more than 90% of UVA rays and 99% of UVB rays that reach the lens.
It's important to note that UV-blocking contact lenses should not be viewed as a stand-alone solution. They are best worn in conjunction with UV-blocking sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat.
However, they can provide practitioners, patients, and parents with the reassurance that contact lens wearers have at least some protection when they leave off their hats and sunglasses, as we know they often do.
Not all brands have the same level of protection. Bausch & Lomb may not. Anyway, you didn't ask about the wearing of sunglass with them, you only asked about whether or not clear, uv-protective lenses were available. It does offer some protection alone.
Morocco PoP baby is too big, he/she can't be BT :)
I'm not ruling it out. The whole thing is just really odd. Why wouldn't everyone have been allowed to bring their kids into the picture? What makes that particular tot special enough to be included?
Was the POP pic definitely taken in Morrocco? Because the Paris BT pic is in July and POP wrapped in Dec. That's 5 months. A baby can grow alot in 5 months. Also if Jake or Austin is the biological father, they are both 6ft tall, so having a child that runs big for their age is not out of the question.
I don't find anything odd about some baby being in the picture. There were hundreds of people involved in making that movie and there could be just as many reasons for some baby to be in the picture. Maybe that baby's parent worked on the film and they happened to be visiting the set that day and got included in the pic, maybe that baby is included in a crowd scene somewhere, etc. I also don't find anything odd about how the baby is being held - that's the most comfortable position to hold a child. Holding them face-forward is awkward and uncomfortable and, frankly, there are so many people in that pic you can't see anyone's face that clearly even when they're facing the camera, lol.
Neil Patrick Harris to Rupert Everett: Coming Out Didn't Sink Your Career Alone
Joy then mentioned that Rupert Everett feels that his career was hurt because he was out, and blames it for his not getting roles, prompting Neil to gently rebuke the British actor:
"With all due respect to Rupert, you can blame a lack of advancement in your career on all kinds of things, for a myriad of reasons, so I don't think he can specifically pinpoint one reason why something might be stalling for him. But I was proud to know that he was who he was."
It is definetely a little odd that there is one little kid in the picture PG. Looks like the person holding the baby is a woman and has a hood over her head. Who knows? Fun to wonder:-)
Right, there isn't anything odd about holding a baby that way.
Unless you're posing for a picture. In which case, you would turn the child at least sideways, the way you see alot of women put their toddler/baby on their hip. Then you can at least have a good chance of getting their face in the picture.
Like I said, if one crew/cast member was allowed to bring their child in for the picture, I'm surprised there wouldn't be a few more. And the coloring of the child sure stands out. The outfit does have a hood, something that could be pulled up over its head as soon as the picture is over to protect its scalp from sunburn. Otherwise, the child is pretty well covered up. If it's Austin's DNA, that could explain why the child does seem to have kind of longer legs. Its upper body is still very babyish.
Just fun to speculate. I'm getting a pretty funny vibe about the whole thing.
I really like NPH, he's articulate and honest and seems to really have his shit together. Looks like his career is thriving, too, and that's great to see :)
It's about time someone called Rupert on his whining about being out killing his careers. Kudos to NPH for doing it, and in a gentle way.
Don't know what to think of that baby, it does seem odd to have in the picture, but it also seems like an awfully big kid. What I wonder, is that the woman we think is the nanny in the center of that same row?
"Neil Patrick Harris to Rupert Everett: Coming Out Didn't Sink Your Career Alone"
Doing a movie with Madonna certainly didn't help, he became her muse in music videos as well. And the plastic surgery done to his face didn't help either. Rupert was likeable, he could have been the male Ellen but I think it was his choice of costars and projects that hurt him.
One of the biggest rewards is to conquer the heart of a str8 guy or a guy with whom it can go either way. At least he tried his best by declaring himself. I think Heath felt this tension - if not hearing it directly like us today -and was secretly pleased.
I had the impression that Heath didn't want to encourage Jake's crush, at least in public. Jake was so obvious. Heath seemed more comfortable being physically affectionate with Matt Damon in public, for example. But then he did make Jake Matilda's celeb gf. Even if that was Michelle's idea, it meant Heath wanted to keep Jake close, so maybe 'secretly pleased' is right.
Notice its always girls that pursued him, not the other way around. Even his sister set him up with Kirsten. Left to his own devices, women are not of interest to him sexually.
IA. Whom has Jake ever pursued? Besides Heath. ;) He was the biggest challenge and biggest reward, as 10:31AM says. After wrangling with a trophy cocksman, all the willing girls and boys now must seem very vanilla.

Dear Ted: You've got to be kidding! People (like Rufus Wainwright) shouldn't assume other people are gay? You're seriously suggesting that you, a gay male with an excellent gaydar, have never assumed someone was gay? So the only gay people you know are the ones who are out or who have engaged in homosexual sex in front of you? Does this mean Nelly Fang and Nevis Divine have secretly told you about their true orientation? Or perhaps you are assuming they bat for your team? I mean, even though I am a straight female, my gaydar is pretty good, and I have correctly assumed many people are gay. For example, I (and everybody else) knew Ricky Martin wasn't interested in girls long before he officially came out! —K from Penn.
Dear Slightly Confused: A few things. One, there's a difference between assuming and having someone you know confirm one's sexual orientation, Ã la Nelly and Nevis. Rufus was unclear. Does he assume 50 is gay because of his "sweet voice"? And, hon-pie, please don't ever use Ricky Martin as an example of why your gaydar is good. Ricky was born waving a rainbow flag. As was I, as was the fabulous Rufus and as were many proud others.
PG, Destiny, Tom...y'all now have to come over here from the OMG ranch to discuss "Elephant Baby" Tile? Has the topic been banned over there? LOL!
Heck, no. In fact, I'll bring it up today. Where do you think the sighting started at? I sure wasn't the one to spot the baby in there.
I brought it up over here because there were some excellent BT detectives here and I was wanting to hear what they thought.
Plenty of cyberspace to share the chat.
That's alright, I'll bring it up over there today. Right now, though, we are having a good LOL over a big trollish fit that happened overnight. It was a doozy. lol. You should see that thing.
Wasn't Munn tabloid-linked to Jake recently? Or is it my imagination. I remembered something about us talking about that gamer show of hers, G4. Or was it my imagination?!
OT: the space shuttle might land here in California this am. Oh wonderful, just what we need in earthquake land - a sonic boom at six in the morning. Yeah thanks NASA.
JG Francis said... Jake's biggest challenge is me. Jake said ... *Hard to get playing bitch!*
LOL. No coincidence that Francis looked a lot like Heath, is it? :D Too bad Francis liked boobs instead of peens - but, then again, if he'd taken Jakey up on his offer to "hang out" he wouldn't have blogged about it.
You'd think that he'd still fool around with Jake anyway. It can't be that difficult to jerk another guy off if you're a straight guy; it not as if you'd have to blow him and swallow his cum!
And since no one else has blogged about it, it means that Jake's success rate must be damn near 100%.
Oh, I don't doubt he has an excellent success rate, lol - even Francis commented on how good looking Jake is. But not everyone has a blog and I'm betting there are a lot of straight guys too insecure to admit they got such an offer to begin with. I also imagine that Jake's gaydar is usually more accurate. Maybe the resemblance to Heath scrambled the signals, lol (well, that, and what did Francis say he was drinking - mint julep ice tea or something? Ha!)
But then he did make Jake Matilda's celeb gf. Even if that was Michelle's idea, it meant Heath wanted to keep Jake close, so maybe 'secretly pleased' is right.
Yeah, I definitely think Heath genuinely liked Jake, but Jake really seemed to have pretty strong feelings for H. He saw something in him... I mean tearing up with H after he held a speech... I kind of feel sorry for Jake. Heath sure left many people broken hearted after his senseless death.
Renee Zellweger, poor thing. The overly caffeinated girl tinkers with her increasingly strange appearance as much as she follows her beau around like a lovesick (and starved) puppy dog. Seems like the babe will do anything for love—especially after her disastrous marriage, which ex Kenny Chesney has decided to blab about now, tacky bastard.
Fellow caffeine lovers were surprised to see the A-lister out and about in Pacific Palisades, where she was picking up coffee from the local Starbucks.
"She was smiling," reported our posh-hood source about the Texan-born babe. "But it looked like her face couldn't even move—it looked like some bad something."
Hmm. Too-strenuous time-spinning? Bad chemical peel? Or perhaps something more toxic?
The svelte Oscar winner looked absolutely tiny in her workout gear, we're also advised. Clearly the mocha frappuccino is not her drink of choice, after all. Shocker.
Ted still thinks PoP is going to be less than successful. But he said he'll admit it if he's wrong. Time will tell on both counts. And the end of May is fast approaching.
Ted is implying how the only public work Jake did for 2 1/2 years was the showmance with the 6 million staged coffee run photo ops. The showmance made Jake a laughing stock and Reeke damaged his reputation. Think he's telling Renee to rethink her own showmance.
PoP isn't even released yet. Ted, what are you talking about?
As I just pointed out, Ted has been saying for a long time that he thinks PoP was a bad career move for Jake and that it won't be successful and it won't help his career long-term. But he also said if he's wrong, he'll admit it. We'll see.
The showmance was good for Reese: she got tons of good publicity and tabloid attention, and that is important when you are uninteresting and promoting Avon.
Jake Gyllenhaal and I Have Same First Childhood Memory; Leads Me To Believe We Have a Future Together
said...
The older we get, the hazier our childhood memories grow. But there is always that handful of important first memories as living beings that are burned into the deepest of brainfolds and that have remained firmly in place despite years of college-level art history index cards, lengthy revenge lists, and alcohol consumption. ... So you can imagine my surprise as I crack open this month’s GQ featuring a fine-looking Jake Gyllenhaal to find this first paragraph:
Jake Gyllenhaal’s very first memory is of sitting on one of the striped blue window benches in his families kitchen. He is trying to draw the letter E. He has managed the vertical line to the left without a problem. Likewise, he has drawn the upper and lower horizontal lines in the conventional manner. It is with the middle horizontal line that he rebels. Just a single line between? He doesn’t see why, and he refuses to go along with it. Instead, he fills in the gap with maybe a hundred horizontal lines.
“It didn’t make any sense to me,” Gyllenhaal remembers, “that there would be only one line.”
OK, so, I guess here is my question: Am I right to be mind-blown? Because, really, even if many children have done this in their lifetime, how many of them remember that moment? Is it hundreds? Thousands? Or, as I might gladly suspect, only me and Jake Gyllenhaal? Could this be the reason we ended up in the same college the same year? Or could it just be that I’m trying to forge yet another bridge from my heart to his?
Last question: Are people who remember drawing the letter E with many lines also as creepy as that last sentence might indicate that I am? Because, if so, TTYCall Me, Gyll.
Some were wondering where Austin has been hiding. Seems that he was in Austrai with Sophia while she was filming. Sounds like she has wrapped her part anyway and Austin and Sophia are trying to find a way to get back to the states, seesmthey were stranded due to the volcano ash. Driving to Italy seems to be an option, hope they get home for his B-day on Saturday:

PS: You would think with Jake working and Austin not, he would want to saty home with their kid instead of running off th Austria.
^^^LOL. Funny bestweekever article. It's actually very, very common for little kids to add all those extra lines on an "E." I remember thinking that when I first read the GQ article. But, as with all these kind of celeb articles, the writer tries to make it sound like Jake was particularly creative or rebellious or precocious or whatever. Cute story, sure. But actually pretty unremarkable.
Ted has been saying for a long time that he thinks PoP was a bad career move for Jake Maybe, but that is for the future to tell and Ted said "how that career choice worked out for him".
*shrug* idk, but he says "Jake" and not his alter ego, TT, so obviously Ted thinks Jake's career wasn't helped by Reese and their endless coffee runs. He's also, of course, being obvious about what else the two relationships had in common besides coffee; i.e., beards, lol.
Jack troll, unable to stir things up at OMG, has obviously gone hunting for information on Sophia and Austin in the hopes that would finally do the trick.
it's just more bearding to promote OTH, which starts back up again on Monday, and another failed effort to help make Jake look straight.
They just don't get that they can't put the gay completely back in the barn after they glittery unicorns have bolted for the hills.
My earliest memories are masturbating during my naps and peeing on everything I could in the backyard. Maybe Jake has those kinds of memories too but couldn't say them?!
Heath sure left many people broken hearted after his senseless death.
IA, a lot of people loved him it seems. How horrible for everyone who was close to him and lost him. Each loss is unique depending on the closeness to Heath and what he was and meant to that person. What they all have in common is the pain, the shock and I imagine the anger, he was too young and had everything to live for. Who would've thought he'd die so soon?!
James Schamus said after he found out about Heath's death that he called Jake and "remembers wailing". Very sad.

I play with my pee-pee while I think about big boys!
You were talking in your latest BB about the importance of role models. So I need to be sure: is Matt Bomer really as flawless as he seems? He seems genuinely nice, sounds far from stupid in interviews, totally rocks as a leading actor in his show (and the ratings wholeheartedly agree), is rumored to live a loving family life with his partner, is smart enough to keep his private life private. Can I, without risk of being disappointed, add him to my pantheon of celeb role models alongside with Anna Paquin, Gale Harold, Kate Winslet or Edward Norton? (I've been severely burned after believing for a little while that Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles deserved this place, so I prefer checking with you first this time...) —Role Models
Dear Favorites: What in the hell are you talking about?
Move over, Ricky Martin. Another Hollywood celeb is coming out
said...
Ricky Martin recently came out about being a homosexual. Not exactly earth shattering news, but still a commendable act of personal courage for the father of two.
So which Hollywood celebrity is going to come out on May 5?
People Magazine allegedly has the exclusive and the celeb is booked on several major talk shows that week including "The View."
PR powerhouse Howard Bragman, who has successfully -- some might add brilliantly -- orchestrated several celeb outings in the past decade talked about his next coming out project at the GLAAD Media Awards red carpet Sunday (Apr. 17). Bragman -- the coming out king of Hollywood -- doesn't want to speculate on who it will be (that would kind of ruin his well-planned surprise, wouldn't it) but In the past he's helped NFL defensive lineman Isera Tualo, LPGA star Rosie Jones, WNBA star Sheryl Swoops and retired NBA center John Amaechi come out.
He also orchestrated the plans for former "Party of Five" Mitchell Anderson, "Married with Children" co-star Amanda Bearse and aided Dick Sargent of "Bewitched" fame to come out on Entertainment Tonight. Most recently, he planned Chaz Bono's announcement of a transition from woman to man and got the news about Meredith Baxter being a lesbian out before tabloids reported her taking a lesbian cruise.
"In Hollywood," Bragman has said, "most publicists keep their clients in the closet. And I'm the guy people tend to come to when they want to come out of the closet." Bragman made his name founding a major entertainment public-relations firm -- Bragman, Nyman, Cafarelli -- and his new boutique firm is called Fifteen Minutes. Fittingly, his book about Hollywood and celebrity, "Where's my Fifteen Minutes?" even has a chapter dedicated to coming out.
In a sense, Bragman is at war, taking on the entertainment industry to end the perception that a gay actor has to stay in the closet. Bragman believes that times are changing and that we will soon have our first gay Hollywood action hero. Here's betting Howard will be standing right behind whoever it is.
I'm loving Jonathan Groff on Glee. Proof an out actor can be successful playing a straight character and have the fangirls lusting after him. I wish more actors would take note. :)

The second kiss in the tent was one of the most beautiful romantic kisses I have ever seen
Big honkin' PoP crew picture
Wow. :)
The second kiss in the tent was one of the most beautiful romantic kisses I have ever seen.
Yes, I think so too. :)
Hmmm... Why would BT be on the movie set and not in some nice and cool hotel suite?
It would be a memorable picture. :)
If the two events are close together...
They are, if I remember correctly, 3-4 months.
PR of course works for Jake, but if their goal is to make Jake seem straight and make him an A-list star, Jake is going to do what they suggest--like Reeke. Why he continued to buy into what they're selling after that disaster.....
But then again, he's clearly beholden to Disney and Bruckhimer, and selling a movie that with marketing will cost over $200 million, so again, Jake has to watch what he says.
No way Jake would say he was enamored of Heath if he was still alive. As awful as it is to say, it is "safe: for him to say it now that he is gone, and now that lots of others have poured out their affection for him. As genuine as his feelings seem--and I do think he was enamored of Heath--it fits into acceptable HW behavior.
I can also understand why people are suspicious of what he says in the interview with GQ. Once a liar, always a liar, and the rest of the interview is so phony. :-( Plus the timing of it bothers me, it's like he's using talking about Heath to get publicity for the interview/PoP.
What in heck are 9:33 thru 9:48 talking about?
Don't delete and then half-repeat!!
- You don't think Jake's a closeted gay man because he used the word enamored? That doesn't follow.
- Maybe there was a romantic element, maybe not; but if Jake is so closeted, why would he blurt it out in GQ?
You are assuming things that don't follow. People's words about Heath reveal their feelings about Heath, not their own sexuality.
Everyone thinks John Travola is closeted, yet he said he "adored" Heath. He didn't try to hide his feelings for another man.
WD: Did you know Heath? How has his death affected you?
JT: I did know Heath and I adored him. I am pretty devastated over this. He was my favourite actor and my favourite talent. It's like losing James Dean. I would give back all my awards and all my nominations just to have him back — I think he is a real loss as a persona and as a talent.
WD: How did you meet him?
JT: I wanted to meet him because I was very impressed with him from the very beginning. His agent introduced me to him at a party, and I just fell — I used every accolade. Actors need other actors to be inspired by, and he was "my" actor.
Matt Damon, who no one thinks is gay, also didn't try to hide his feelings.
"Heath's the best actor I've ever worked with," he says. "Coming off The Brothers Grimm, which wasn't particularly well-received, I remember telling people about him. 'Heath Ledger, you mean the guy from A Knight's Tale?' they would say. I'd tell them, 'No, you wait!' And then he did Brokeback Mountain and The Dark Knight. People just got a glimpse of what he was going to do. He was so full of life. I don't think I'll ever get over that, nor will anybody who knew him. He was a miracle of a man. It's just horrible. It sucks." He starts to tear up, and gulps down some much-needed mineral water.
Gay or straight, "adored" "enamored" or "miracle of a man"...all are saying, "I loved Heath."
Jake's statements may lack clarity and intelligibility (usually by reason of some emotional stress), but he has no problem choosing specific words and he knows what they mean.
I can also understand why people are suspicious of what he says in the interview with GQ. Once a liar, always a liar, and the rest of the interview is so phony. :-( Plus the timing of it bothers me, it's like he's using talking about Heath to get publicity for the interview/PoP.
I don't think Jake's using Heath to get publicity for PoP. It's inevitable he'd be asked about Heath in his first cover interview since Heath's death, that's all.
But I agree with you that the interview has a lot of phony in it. Jake's quite a trickster. Yet I think his feelings for Heath are real. Words can be phony, and a photo or two can be misleading, but many photos over time don't lie.
What in heck are 9:33 thru 9:48 talking about?
Oh, that was me, you guys.
I had wind of a picture that could possibly contain BT in it but I took it all down. There didn't seem to be too much interest in it.
But what I had talked about was the possibility of BT being in that big PoP crew picture. Someone was nice enough to do the link up there (the big honkin' Crew Pic, lol because that's what I had called it originally).
See the little blond kid being held by the woman in about the second row, being held by a woman wearing a hood? They're in a blue outfit? The picture is from Special's post yesterday. It's the very first picture.
My question was why would someone hold their kid backwards for a big picture like that?
But what I wasn't sure was if that little kid was alot bigger than the one in that Paris video.
Just throwing it out there. The hood on the woman and the kid being held like that struck me as odd. Plus the fact that the child's coloring really doesn't match alot of the people in the picture.
Sorry for the delete & half-repeat, I'm a panicky sort, you know.

No way Jake would say he was enamored of Heath if he was still alive. As awful as it is to say, it is "safe: for him to say it now that he is gone
No, it isn't safe because Jake is here and Jake is the one with enamored feelings for a man.
Gay or straight, "adored" "enamored" or "miracle of a man"...all are saying, "I loved Heath."
Sorry, Jake said something else.
Matt Damon, who no one thinks is gay...
What?! You should read more gossip.

Travolta wasn't Heath's friend for years - BIG difference.

Whatever happened to the BT detectives? Are you out there somewhere?
Or was that a night long, long ago in a land far away never to pass this way again?
I'm lighting a candle right now, raising a cig lighter in the air, something.
Everyone said such heartfelt things about Heath; that's why I wondered for so long why Jake didn't say anything, although deep down I knew that he must have felt the same way. The loss is huge; if fans feel it, you can only imagine how awful it must be for those close to him. Jake said just as heartfelt things as John and Matt. It's interesting that everyone says these things about how much they loved Heath, and how talented he was, not just boilerplate PR statements. I'm happy Jake did say something, confirming a lot of us did think, and I do agree it's personal and private. He didn't have to share it, and it seems he didn't until he was ready. He only revealed what he was comfortable with.
I was trying to say what you did - adore, enamor, miracle of a man - they all mean that these people loved Heath and feel the loss deeply.
Whatever happened to the BT detectives? Are you out there somewhere?
Hello! I've used all my zoom tools, but that picture is low quality and the baby looks too big. Sorry!
Nope, that's good! I appreciate your looking. I thought the child looked a bit too big, too. Just wanted to hear someone else's thoughts.
Thanks!
You are welcome :)
...adore, enamor, miracle of a man - they all mean that these people loved Heath and feel the loss deeply.
I agree that all these people were expressing their love for Heath. I agree they all feel the loss, certainly some more deeply than others, depending on how much time they actually spent with him and how close they were. I don't believe, though, that their statements and words are interchangeable. Individuals and relationships are unique and I think the words they chose are specific and reflect their own unique relationship with Heath and their thoughts and feelings for him.
I was trying to say what you did - adore, enamor, miracle of a man - they all mean that these people loved Heath and feel the loss deeply.
Yes, they all loved Heath, I loved him too, but here is a huge difference between my and Travolta's love and loss, and Jake's love and loss.

Yes, they all loved Heath, I loved him too, but there is a huge difference between my and Travolta's love and loss, and Jake's love and loss.
Yes of course. Goes without saying.
One of the biggest rewards is to conquer the heart of a str8 guy or a guy with whom it can go either way. At least he tried his best by declaring himself. I think Heath felt this tension - if not hearing it directly like us today -and was secretly pleased.
Hearing it directly from Jake? Would he do that?
That would be lovely. :)
Dear Ted:
Your column is rotting my brain! I used to read actual books, but now I just obsess about your column. So here's my query: Are there any A-list actors left who actually like the ladies? Name three?

I guess there are a few straight dudes in H'wood. Off the top of my head? Gosling, Worthington and...gosh, think that's about it.

What the uck was Jake doing batting his lashes when around him, trying to get a laugh out of Heath than trying to nab a str8 whom he loved. There's no greater achivement in the gaydom. Enamoured private feelings witnessed by a 3rd party? You betcha.
There's no greater achivement in the gaydom.

Disney's new Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, to be released on 28 May, was filmed in Morocco, around Ouarzazate, Marrakech and Merzouga.
The View from Fez came across these quirky facts at tv.com:
AIM HIGH — The first shooting location for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time was at an altitude of 8,200 feet in the mountain village of Oukmaiden in the High Atlas Mountains, surrounded by indigenous Berber communities. The cast and crew had to acclimate themselves before proceeding with the demanding action sequences filmed there.
SANDS OF TIME, INDEED — The production battled ferocious sandstorms in of Ouarzazate, Morocco.
HEATED — Morocco offered 100+-degree Fahrenheit temps during production. Massive, air-conditioned tents were erected at the Lycee Hassan II school in Marrakesh. One, which was the size of a football field, housed wardrobe, hair and makeup for the film's background players. And adjoining tent was built just for washing and drying. It was a mind-blowing 124 degrees on the last day of Moroccan filming (Merzouga Sand Dunes outside of Erfoud). According to Morocco Facilities Manager Gregoire Mouveau, during filming in that country the Prince of Persia company consumed 1,114,894 bottles of water.
OSTRICHES — Typical warnings on call sheets in Morocco: 'PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH THE OSTRICH ON SET TODAY' or 'BEWARE – SNAKES & SCORPIONS CAN BE FOUND AT THIS LOCATION UNDER AND AROUND THE ROCKS. BE CAUTIOUS.'
SNAKE DUDE — A local Moroccan was hired to clear the shooting areas in the desert of a vipers and scorpions. Donning a t-shirt emblazoned with "Snake Dude," he was easy to spot.

Dear Ted:
I'm a little confused by the argument some people use that if a gay A-lister comes out, such as Toothy or Nevis Divine, it will make it easier for other gay people to come out from all walks of life. Isn't coming out a personal journey for an individual? I don't believe a wealthy actor coming out in liberal Hollywood would make it easier for a young store clerk living in a small Southern town. Don't you feel it's too much pressure to put on actors and actresses who are not out to be unwilling role models? I understand the lying to the public is wrong, but I don't think outing people publicly or blindly is justified.
—CB
Dear the Norm:
You're right in that coming out is different for different people, but the more gay role models and gay public figures there are, the more exposure the noninformed get of the LGBT community—which is huge. And when those walls come down, coming out should be a bit easier for everyone, no?
Bitch Back
Noninformed?! Ted is so nice and gentle today :)

Charice, the 17-year-old Filipino singer, on Saturday performed her single "I Will Survive" at Club 57, the gay club in New York. Her pal David Archuleta, the American Idol sprite, attended. No homo!
Running to Twitter, Archuleta Clay Aikened his way through clearing up the rumor mill: "Last night in New York I got invited to go and see my friend Charice perform. Mental note to self: always ask where before you go! Wasn’t my kind of place lol, and I had no clue! I guess you live and learn."
Charice even, ahem, apologized for causing such drama.
Of course, one visit to a gay club in New York does not make you a homo. Liking other guys, however, does.

Hollywood's Hardest Working A-List Actors
To compile our rankings of the hardest-working A-list actors, we considered all movies released between January 2005 and December 2009 that earned more than $20 million at the U.S. box office, based on data from Exhibitor Relations. Starting with a base of 559 films, we tallied which actors had the most starring or significant roles in those films, with ties broken by cumulative box-office totals.

Ricky Martin announced that he was gay in March, saying, “I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man,” and his fellow stars voiced their support for the singer at the 21st annual Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) Media Awards in Century City, Calif. on Saturday.
Access Hollywood spoke to a slew of celebrities who praised Ricky for coming forward and expressed hope that others would follow in his footsteps.
“My lofty goal in this world is that we can live in a world that doesn’t judge each other, I just want people to be able to live their lives that are true to them,” Drew Barrymore told Access backstage at the GLAAD Awards. I celebrate what [Ricky] is doing because, we have to create a world for each other where acceptance is first and foremost.”
“American Idol” Season 8 runner-up Adam Lambert hopes Ricky’s bravery will inspire other LGBT celebrities to be more open.
“It’s great to see people like [Ricky] feeling liberated to come out and come forward, and hopefully it will open the door wide open for more and more people to be comfortable with who they are,” he told Access on the red carpet.
Rob Halford, openly gay singer for heavy metal act Judas Priest, believes Ricky’s actions will help the gay Latino community.
“I think Ricky was really eloquent with the statement he made about the reason why he held back,” he explained to Access on the red carpet. “At the end of the day you’re dealing with a very personal and private issue… What he did was incredibly important for himself and the Latino community.”
“Modern Family’s” Sofia Vergara echoed others’ sentiments, saying, “It shouldn’t be an issue any more, but it’s hard to change things. He’s fantastic.”
Wanda Sykes applauded the singer, but also said she wasn’t surprised with his news.
“It’s not like we didn’t know Ricky was gay, come on!” She joked. “But good for him, I wish him well, I’m very happy for him.”

Whatever happened to the BT detectives? Are you out there somewhere?
When I have a chance (hopefully soon) I'll enlarge the pic in photoshop and post it. I initially zoomed it to 400x and noticed the guy behind her is motioning to the baby, like trying to get its attention or cheer it up; maybe it was crying and that's why it was facing towards the woman? Idk. It would be great if someone could estimate how old this baby looks in the pic and how old BT would have been during the POP shooting. It's possible that BT was in Morocco but with the high temps and land/weather conditions and considering the young age of BT, I honestly doubt it but who knows.
My PhotoDraw didn't help, can't see any details.
The guy behind her has his hand on her shoulder while he's pointing, like he's telling the baby to look "over there" to the front. Also the woman looks to be brunette and is wearing pants; can Moroccan women wear pants? (sorry I'm ignorant about these things)
Yes, I think so.
Ha! 21st century and some women can be punished for wearing pants.
I didn't pay attention, sorry!
What's LOL about outdoor group pics is everybody is wearing sunglasses. I've noticed though that most actors don't/can't wear them for pics or while filming. I wonder how their eyes are affected being exposed to bright light; not wearing eye protection causes cataracts. Squinting probably doesn't help either since it causes wrinkles.
I think they make contact lenses now that can protect the eyes from the sun as well as correct vision.
Probably very minimal protection, or else everyone's eyes who wear those contacts would be dark like shades.
No, they're clear I think, the lenses.
They actually provide better protection than sunglasses because sunglasses can't keep out rays that get around the glasses. Wraparounds are the best. The lenses sit right on the eye and protect the cornea. Accu-vue makes 'em.
Clear or even tinted contact lenses don't protect the eyes from damaging UVA or UVB effects of the sun, sorry. For any lenses to do that, they would have to be as dark as sunglasses, and no contacts at this time have that technology (they would also have to lighten up instantly). I don't know where you got your "info" but it's wrong. If you can find a link to prove me wrong I would love it! I'd order them asap!
http://www.aoa.org/x12724.xml
Although UV-blocking contact lenses provide important protection for users, they should not be considered an alternative to using sunglasses. Contacts should be worn in with high-quality UV-blocking sunglasses.
However, while a Nike MAXSIGHT lens may provide some benefit to the wearer versus no UV protection, Nike MAXSIGHT does not replace sunglasses for full protection of the eye and the surrounding ocular tissue.

You guys, what is odd about this is why would the baby be turned around like that? Like I said last night, if you had your kid in a big honkin' cool picture like this, and you wanted to tell your kid 20 years down the road, "Look, there you are!On the set of PoP!"
And the kid sees nothing but the back of his head. What the heck?
That doesn't make any sense.
I'm going to point out that there are no other little children in this picture. This little blond tot sticks out like a sore thumb.
Here's a theory that someone else pointed out because it was brought up that why would you have a baby out in the heat like that and in an AC-cooled trailer.
Notice the tot is wearing long sleeves. Most everyone else except for the actors are in short sleeves. Is it possible that BT would be in an AC-cooled trailer while they assembled everyone for this big honkin' pic and then when they're about ready, Jake calls on a cell phone that they're ready and bring the kid in.
Because notice that the woman & tot are near the very front & near the end. Very easy for them to slip in there at the last minute as opposed to being in the center of that big mass of people.
I looked on IHJ for those Jardin de Bologna pictures and there's none of little BT in there. I guess that was only in the video. I had wanted to look at the kid's legs in that. They were kind of chunky little legs if I recall, tho not positive of that.
And in the video, the baby's legs are bent so we don't get a full reflection of the true length of the baby's legs.
Another thing, lol.
Remember that when Jake filmed in Morocco, I guess he had a big place to stay at which was supposed to be very private. I believe BT was in Morocco.
Remember when he was in London, the requirements that the flat in London was supposed to have a private garage entrance.
I understand the place where he stayed at in Morocco was pretty big and had alot of rooms. Why would he need a large place to stay if it was only him staying there during filming?
Remember when he was in London, the requirements that the flat in London was supposed to have a private garage entrance.
Yes. Jake protects his privacy, like during Nailed filming when that blog posted info about Jake's rented house.
I looked on IHJ for those Jardin de Bologna pictures and there's none of little BT in there. I guess that was only in the video.
Are you looking for this?
yeah! Wow, you're quick. I sure didn't see this one. I saw a bunch of pictures leading up to that moment but not this particular picture. Hmm, this baby doesn't seem to have much hair although the baby is a little bigger than I remembered. I could've sworn the baby had more hair than that. Not sure how fast hair can grow on a little kid.
I could've sworn we had seen where the baby had blond hair before.
Thanks for linking that.
Morocco PoP baby is too big, he/she can't be BT :)
Well, maybe Neil Patrick Harris' words on The View for fellow homo-thesbian Rupert Everett weren't that harsh, but there was definitely a "quit your whining" message in here. Which is easier to say when you're a terrifically successful actor.

However, not all contact lenses offer UV protection, and, of those that do, not all provide similar absorption levels. Among contact lens brands, only Acuvue Advance, Acuvue Advance for astigmatismatism, and Acuvue Oasys contact lens brands carry the Global Seal of Acceptance for Ultraviolet Absorbing Contact Lenses from the World Council of Optometry, eye-care specialty concerned with eye examination, determination of visual abilities, diagnosis of eye diseases and conditions, and the prescription of lenses and other corrective measures. (The lenses are the only ones to offer the highest level of UV-blocking available, blocking more than 90% of UVA rays and 99% of UVB rays that reach the lens.
It's important to note that UV-blocking contact lenses should not be viewed as a stand-alone solution. They are best worn in conjunction with UV-blocking sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat.
However, they can provide practitioners, patients, and parents with the reassurance that contact lens wearers have at least some protection when they leave off their hats and sunglasses, as we know they often do.
Not all brands have the same level of protection. Bausch & Lomb may not. Anyway, you didn't ask about the wearing of sunglass with them, you only asked about whether or not clear, uv-protective lenses were available. It does offer some protection alone.
Morocco PoP baby is too big, he/she can't be BT :)
I'm not ruling it out. The whole thing is just really odd. Why wouldn't everyone have been allowed to bring their kids into the picture? What makes that particular tot special enough to be included?
Just one of several questions I have about it.
Was the POP pic definitely taken in Morrocco? Because the Paris BT pic is in July and POP wrapped in Dec. That's 5 months. A baby can grow alot in 5 months. Also if Jake or Austin is the biological father, they are both 6ft tall, so having a child that runs big for their age is not out of the question.
What makes that particular tot special enough to be included?
Maybe the tot in question is in the movie, ever think about that?
Was the POP pic definitely taken in Morrocco?
That's what I wondered too. :)
Maybe the tot in question is in the movie, ever think about that?
Not likely, actors who have small rolles are on the set for a few days.
Was the POP pic definitely taken in Morrocco?
Yes - big crew and a lot of men in shorts.
I'd be leery about having a baby that young and fair complected out in the heat and sun with no hat or protection.
Not likely, actors who have small rolles are on the set for a few days.
So maybe that pic was taken on a day when the tot was on set. Do you know the date exactly when that pic was taken?
No.
I don't find anything odd about some baby being in the picture. There were hundreds of people involved in making that movie and there could be just as many reasons for some baby to be in the picture. Maybe that baby's parent worked on the film and they happened to be visiting the set that day and got included in the pic, maybe that baby is included in a crowd scene somewhere, etc. I also don't find anything odd about how the baby is being held - that's the most comfortable position to hold a child. Holding them face-forward is awkward and uncomfortable and, frankly, there are so many people in that pic you can't see anyone's face that clearly even when they're facing the camera, lol.
I also don't find anything odd about how the baby is being held - that's the most comfortable position to hold a child.
True. It would be difficult to get a child that young to even look at a camera for long.
Neil Patrick Harris to Rupert Everett: Coming Out Didn't Sink Your Career Alone
Joy then mentioned that Rupert Everett feels that his career was hurt because he was out, and blames it for his not getting roles, prompting Neil to gently rebuke the British actor:
"With all due respect to Rupert, you can blame a lack of advancement in your career on all kinds of things, for a myriad of reasons, so I don't think he can specifically pinpoint one reason why something might be stalling for him. But I was proud to know that he was who he was."
It is definetely a little odd that there is one little kid in the picture PG. Looks like the person holding the baby is a woman and has a hood over her head. Who knows? Fun to wonder:-)
Right, there isn't anything odd about holding a baby that way.
Unless you're posing for a picture. In which case, you would turn the child at least sideways, the way you see alot of women put their toddler/baby on their hip. Then you can at least have a good chance of getting their face in the picture.
Like I said, if one crew/cast member was allowed to bring their child in for the picture, I'm surprised there wouldn't be a few more. And the coloring of the child sure stands out. The outfit does have a hood, something that could be pulled up over its head as soon as the picture is over to protect its scalp from sunburn. Otherwise, the child is pretty well covered up. If it's Austin's DNA, that could explain why the child does seem to have kind of longer legs. Its upper body is still very babyish.
Just fun to speculate. I'm getting a pretty funny vibe about the whole thing.
I really like NPH, he's articulate and honest and seems to really have his shit together. Looks like his career is thriving, too, and that's great to see :)
It's about time someone called Rupert on his whining about being out killing his careers. Kudos to NPH for doing it, and in a gentle way.
Don't know what to think of that baby, it does seem odd to have in the picture, but it also seems like an awfully big kid. What I wonder, is that the woman we think is the nanny in the center of that same row?
"Neil Patrick Harris to Rupert Everett: Coming Out Didn't Sink Your Career Alone"
Doing a movie with Madonna certainly didn't help, he became her muse in music videos as well. And the plastic surgery done to his face didn't help either. Rupert was likeable, he could have been the male Ellen but I think it was his choice of costars and projects that hurt him.
One of the biggest rewards is to conquer the heart of a str8 guy or a guy with whom it can go either way. At least he tried his best by declaring himself. I think Heath felt this tension - if not hearing it directly like us today -and was secretly pleased.
I had the impression that Heath didn't want to encourage Jake's crush, at least in public. Jake was so obvious. Heath seemed more comfortable being physically affectionate with Matt Damon in public, for example. But then he did make Jake Matilda's celeb gf. Even if that was Michelle's idea, it meant Heath wanted to keep Jake close, so maybe 'secretly pleased' is right.
Notice its always girls that pursued him, not the other way around. Even his sister set him up with Kirsten. Left to his own devices, women are not of interest to him sexually.
IA. Whom has Jake ever pursued? Besides Heath. ;) He was the biggest challenge and biggest reward, as 10:31AM says. After wrangling with a trophy cocksman, all the willing girls and boys now must seem very vanilla.
Jake's biggest challenge is me.
PG, Destiny, Tom...y'all now have to come over here from the OMG ranch to discuss "Elephant Baby" Tile? Has the topic been banned over there? LOL!

Dear Ted:
You've got to be kidding! People (like Rufus Wainwright) shouldn't assume other people are gay? You're seriously suggesting that you, a gay male with an excellent gaydar, have never assumed someone was gay? So the only gay people you know are the ones who are out or who have engaged in homosexual sex in front of you? Does this mean Nelly Fang and Nevis Divine have secretly told you about their true orientation? Or perhaps you are assuming they bat for your team? I mean, even though I am a straight female, my gaydar is pretty good, and I have correctly assumed many people are gay. For example, I (and everybody else) knew Ricky Martin wasn't interested in girls long before he officially came out!
—K from Penn.
Dear Slightly Confused:
A few things. One, there's a difference between assuming and having someone you know confirm one's sexual orientation, Ã la Nelly and Nevis. Rufus was unclear. Does he assume 50 is gay because of his "sweet voice"? And, hon-pie, please don't ever use Ricky Martin as an example of why your gaydar is good. Ricky was born waving a rainbow flag. As was I, as was the fabulous Rufus and as were many proud others.
PG, Destiny, Tom...y'all now have to come over here from the OMG ranch to discuss "Elephant Baby" Tile? Has the topic been banned over there? LOL!
Heck, no. In fact, I'll bring it up today. Where do you think the sighting started at? I sure wasn't the one to spot the baby in there.
I brought it up over here because there were some excellent BT detectives here and I was wanting to hear what they thought.
Plenty of cyberspace to share the chat.
That's alright, I'll bring it up over there today. Right now, though, we are having a good LOL over a big trollish fit that happened overnight. It was a doozy. lol. You should see that thing.
I love playing "hide and seek"!
Is Olivia Munn the one Jake said "Who?" to? Here she is in Just Jared and there's comments in ONTD and the full (?) interview in Details.
Is Olivia Munn the one Jake said "Who?" to?
No, he was asked and said that about Isabel Lucas.
LOL nobody likes her. I'm actually kind of hoping she's Jake's next beard just so we can see who's liked less, her or Bitchface.
Wasn't Munn tabloid-linked to Jake recently? Or is it my imagination. I remembered something about us talking about that gamer show of hers, G4. Or was it my imagination?!
Not your imagination :)
She was with Jamie Foxx at some Oscars party Jake attended.
Go smoke some weed today!
OT: the space shuttle might land here in California this am. Oh wonderful, just what we need in earthquake land - a sonic boom at six in the morning. Yeah thanks NASA.
8:24 AM, have some weed to spare?
MORE PoP pics at IHJ: posters, cellphone wallpapers and Lego Prince Dastan figures.

You Can Buy Gaydar at the Apple Store
Huh I wonder if Jake has this app.
8:40 AM, thanks for posting!
Geeze I've had that app for almost a year now.
Do they have a Humpr app?
I need one on my iCollar.
LOL :)
JG Francis said...

Jake said ...
*Hard to get playing bitch!*
LOL. No coincidence that Francis looked a lot like Heath, is it? :D Too bad Francis liked boobs instead of peens - but, then again, if he'd taken Jakey up on his offer to "hang out" he wouldn't have blogged about it.
There must be something wrong with that Francis guy :)
if he'd taken Jakey up on his offer to "hang out" he wouldn't have blogged about it.
And since no one else has blogged about it, it means that Jake's success rate must be damn near 100%.
You'd think that he'd still fool around with Jake anyway. It can't be that difficult to jerk another guy off if you're a straight guy; it not as if you'd have to blow him and swallow his cum!
9:18 AM,
babbler trolls post on OMG all the time.
And since no one else has blogged about it, it means that Jake's success rate must be damn near 100%.
Oh, I don't doubt he has an excellent success rate, lol - even Francis commented on how good looking Jake is. But not everyone has a blog and I'm betting there are a lot of straight guys too insecure to admit they got such an offer to begin with. I also imagine that Jake's gaydar is usually more accurate. Maybe the resemblance to Heath scrambled the signals, lol (well, that, and what did Francis say he was drinking - mint julep ice tea or something? Ha!)
We don't kiss and blog!
Jake was on that strict POP diet and workout too. His gaydar was being starved.
LOL with the Iceland volcano Jake may have to go to his London POP premiere via China.
Or by camel.
Or by boat. Jake better leave now.

I count on that!
We deserve a raise.
But then he did make Jake Matilda's celeb gf. Even if that was Michelle's idea, it meant Heath wanted to keep Jake close, so maybe 'secretly pleased' is right.
Yeah, I definitely think Heath genuinely liked Jake, but Jake really seemed to have pretty strong feelings for H. He saw something in him... I mean tearing up with H after he held a speech... I kind of feel sorry for Jake. Heath sure left many people broken hearted after his senseless death.

"Caught! Renée Jolts Herself Before Brad Visit
Renee Zellweger, poor thing. The overly caffeinated girl tinkers with her increasingly strange appearance as much as she follows her beau around like a lovesick (and starved) puppy dog. Seems like the babe will do anything for love—especially after her disastrous marriage, which ex Kenny Chesney has decided to blab about now, tacky bastard.
While Renée-love was spotted in Philly this weekend visiting yummy Bradley Cooper (who was filming Dark Fields), the notoriously private star was spotted stick-thin in L.A. right before she took off for the East Coast…doing her favorite errand—grabbing coffee!
And although it wasn't cold outside, our java source says something looked a little frozen…
And it wasn't Renée's mocha special, it was her damn face!
Fellow caffeine lovers were surprised to see the A-lister out and about in Pacific Palisades, where she was picking up coffee from the local Starbucks.
"She was smiling," reported our posh-hood source about the Texan-born babe. "But it looked like her face couldn't even move—it looked like some bad something."
Hmm. Too-strenuous time-spinning? Bad chemical peel? Or perhaps something more toxic?
(Like Renée discovering Bradley's ultimately not the right guy for her, but—oops!—that's just us being naughty, never mind!)
The svelte Oscar winner looked absolutely tiny in her workout gear, we're also advised. Clearly the mocha frappuccino is not her drink of choice, after all. Shocker.
Oh, and one more thing, Renée, sweetie: You're going for coffee almost as a vocation these days, it seems. Ask Jake Gyllenhaal how that career choice worked out for him."
The Awful Truth
Ted still thinks PoP is going to be less than successful. But he said he'll admit it if he's wrong. Time will tell on both counts. And the end of May is fast approaching.
Oh, and one more thing, Renée, sweetie: You're going for coffee almost as a vocation these days, it seems. Ask Jake Gyllenhaal how that career choice worked out for him.
PoP isn't even released yet. Ted, what are you talking about?
Ted is implying how the only public work Jake did for 2 1/2 years was the showmance with the 6 million staged coffee run photo ops. The showmance made Jake a laughing stock and Reeke damaged his reputation. Think he's telling Renee to rethink her own showmance.
But showmance worked for the chin, and I don't see how showmance could be bad for Renee.
PoP isn't even released yet. Ted, what are you talking about?
As I just pointed out, Ted has been saying for a long time that he thinks PoP was a bad career move for Jake and that it won't be successful and it won't help his career long-term. But he also said if he's wrong, he'll admit it. We'll see.
But showmance worked for the chin, and I don't see how showmance could be bad for Renee.
Did it help Reese's career? idk about that.
The showmance was good for Reese: she got tons of good publicity and tabloid attention, and that is important when you are uninteresting and promoting Avon.
Ted has been saying for a long time that he thinks PoP was a bad career move for Jake
Maybe, but that is for the future to tell and Ted said "how that career choice worked out for him".
The older we get, the hazier our childhood memories grow. But there is always that handful of important first memories as living beings that are burned into the deepest of brainfolds and that have remained firmly in place despite years of college-level art history index cards, lengthy revenge lists, and alcohol consumption.
...
So you can imagine my surprise as I crack open this month’s GQ featuring a fine-looking Jake Gyllenhaal to find this first paragraph:
Jake Gyllenhaal’s very first memory is of sitting on one of the striped blue window benches in his families kitchen. He is trying to draw the letter E. He has managed the vertical line to the left without a problem. Likewise, he has drawn the upper and lower horizontal lines in the conventional manner. It is with the middle horizontal line that he rebels. Just a single line between? He doesn’t see why, and he refuses to go along with it. Instead, he fills in the gap with maybe a hundred horizontal lines.
“It didn’t make any sense to me,” Gyllenhaal remembers, “that there would be only one line.”
OK, so, I guess here is my question: Am I right to be mind-blown? Because, really, even if many children have done this in their lifetime, how many of them remember that moment? Is it hundreds? Thousands? Or, as I might gladly suspect, only me and Jake Gyllenhaal? Could this be the reason we ended up in the same college the same year? Or could it just be that I’m trying to forge yet another bridge from my heart to his?
Last question: Are people who remember drawing the letter E with many lines also as creepy as that last sentence might indicate that I am? Because, if so, TTYCall Me, Gyll.

Some were wondering where Austin has been hiding. Seems that he was in Austrai with Sophia while she was filming. Sounds like she has wrapped her part anyway and Austin and Sophia are trying to find a way to get back to the states, seesmthey were stranded due to the volcano ash. Driving to Italy seems to be an option, hope they get home for his B-day on Saturday:

PS: You would think with Jake working and Austin not, he would want to saty home with their kid instead of running off th Austria.
^^^LOL. Funny bestweekever article. It's actually very, very common for little kids to add all those extra lines on an "E." I remember thinking that when I first read the GQ article. But, as with all these kind of celeb articles, the writer tries to make it sound like Jake was particularly creative or rebellious or precocious or whatever. Cute story, sure. But actually pretty unremarkable.
1:49 PM - I don't want to be disrespectful, but there is no kid. Please.
very common for little kids to add all those extra lines on an "E."
Really? I've never heard about extra E lines thing before.
the writer tries to make it sound like Jake was particularly creative or rebellious or precocious or whatever
"Jake Gyllenhaal’s very first memory" part makes it particularly precious and a bit strange.
Really? I've never heard about extra E lines thing before.
I used to tutor first-graders. Very common. Writing letters backwards is common also.
“It didn’t make any sense to me,” Gyllenhaal remembers, “that there would be only one line.”
:)
What about that was so important to Jake that he still remembers that moment?
Ted has been saying for a long time that he thinks PoP was a bad career move for Jake
Maybe, but that is for the future to tell and Ted said "how that career choice worked out for him".
*shrug* idk, but he says "Jake" and not his alter ego, TT, so obviously Ted thinks Jake's career wasn't helped by Reese and their endless coffee runs. He's also, of course, being obvious about what else the two relationships had in common besides coffee; i.e., beards, lol.

2:18, did you mean precious or precocious?
Jack troll, unable to stir things up at OMG, has obviously gone hunting for information on Sophia and Austin in the hopes that would finally do the trick.
it's just more bearding to promote OTH, which starts back up again on Monday, and another failed effort to help make Jake look straight.
They just don't get that they can't put the gay completely back in the barn after they glittery unicorns have bolted for the hills.
Did Jake and Austin break up?
My earliest memories are masturbating during my naps and peeing on everything I could in the backyard. Maybe Jake has those kinds of memories too but couldn't say them?!
obviously Ted thinks Jake's career wasn't helped by Reese and their endless coffee runs
Well, I agree with Ted about that.
2:18, did you mean precious or precocious?
Precious :)
lub or lube, pussy?!
Atticus is that you?
woof!
Heath sure left many people broken hearted after his senseless death.
IA, a lot of people loved him it seems. How horrible for everyone who was close to him and lost him. Each loss is unique depending on the closeness to Heath and what he was and meant to that person. What they all have in common is the pain, the shock and I imagine the anger, he was too young and had everything to live for. Who would've thought he'd die so soon?!
James Schamus said after he found out about Heath's death that he called Jake and "remembers wailing". Very sad.
:'(
Precious :)
lol, 2:18. Jakey just wants to be adored, doesn't he?
Duh! :)
My earliest memories are masturbating during my naps and peeing on everything I could in the backyard. Maybe Jake has those kinds of memories too but couldn't say them?!

Dear Ted:
You were talking in your latest BB about the importance of role models. So I need to be sure: is Matt Bomer really as flawless as he seems? He seems genuinely nice, sounds far from stupid in interviews, totally rocks as a leading actor in his show (and the ratings wholeheartedly agree), is rumored to live a loving family life with his partner, is smart enough to keep his private life private. Can I, without risk of being disappointed, add him to my pantheon of celeb role models alongside with Anna Paquin, Gale Harold, Kate Winslet or Edward Norton? (I've been severely burned after believing for a little while that Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles deserved this place, so I prefer checking with you first this time...)
—Role Models
Dear Favorites:
What in the hell are you talking about?
Huh? What is Ted saying?
Ricky Martin recently came out about being a homosexual. Not exactly earth shattering news, but still a commendable act of personal courage for the father of two.
So which Hollywood celebrity is going to come out on May 5?
People Magazine allegedly has the exclusive and the celeb is booked on several major talk shows that week including "The View."
PR powerhouse Howard Bragman, who has successfully -- some might add brilliantly -- orchestrated several celeb outings in the past decade talked about his next coming out project at the GLAAD Media Awards red carpet Sunday (Apr. 17). Bragman -- the coming out king of Hollywood -- doesn't want to speculate on who it will be (that would kind of ruin his well-planned surprise, wouldn't it) but In the past he's helped NFL defensive lineman Isera Tualo, LPGA star Rosie Jones, WNBA star Sheryl Swoops and retired NBA center John Amaechi come out.
He also orchestrated the plans for former "Party of Five" Mitchell Anderson, "Married with Children" co-star Amanda Bearse and aided Dick Sargent of "Bewitched" fame to come out on Entertainment Tonight. Most recently, he planned Chaz Bono's announcement of a transition from woman to man and got the news about Meredith Baxter being a lesbian out before tabloids reported her taking a lesbian cruise.
"In Hollywood," Bragman has said, "most publicists keep their clients in the closet. And I'm the guy people tend to come to when they want to come out of the closet." Bragman made his name founding a major entertainment public-relations firm -- Bragman, Nyman, Cafarelli -- and his new boutique firm is called Fifteen Minutes. Fittingly, his book about Hollywood and celebrity, "Where's my Fifteen Minutes?" even has a chapter dedicated to coming out.
In a sense, Bragman is at war, taking on the entertainment industry to end the perception that a gay actor has to stay in the closet. Bragman believes that times are changing and that we will soon have our first gay Hollywood action hero. Here's betting Howard will be standing right behind whoever it is.
Zap2it
I think Ted might be playing dumb with that answer, but wanted to run the letter to get all that out there about Bomer, but I'm really not sure.
So which Hollywood celebrity is going to come out on May 5?
Don't care, hope it is true!
... but I'm really not sure.
No one can read Ted's mind and be sure :)
So which Hollywood celebrity is going to come out on May 5?
It certainly won't be Jake. Our favorite queen is too busy buffing his teeth and shaving his abs for the PoP premier.
Jerry would kill me!
Jerry's an ash hole!
Jesse Tyler Ferguson, an out actor on Modern Family, sounds like a great guy. ONTD
No way Jake will come out before POP is released. Maybe next time.
I'm loving Jonathan Groff on Glee. Proof an out actor can be successful playing a straight character and have the fangirls lusting after him. I wish more actors would take note. :)
