Clay Aiken
October 2008
Becoming a father led to another life-changing decision for Clay Aiken, 29, the American Idol runner-up whose awkward charm, flat-ironed red hair and soulful sound inspired a curious and deeply devoted cult of music fans who call themselves Claymates. Long dogged by rumors about his sexuality, Aiken decided the time had come for him to publicly acknowledge what he's known privately since he was in college: He's gay.
Says Aiken: "It was the first decision I made as a father. I cannot raise a child to lie or to hide things. I wasn't raised that way, and I'm not going to raise a child to do that."

December 2008
"I’m going to concentrate on becoming a better, stronger, more complete person. All throughout my career — a career I’ve pursued since I was twelve — I have had to make sure to please people and ensure that people were happy with the things I was doing. At this moment, though, I’m focusing on what makes me happy. My sons are happy and they’re going to grow up being sure of themselves. When they ask a question, they will always receive an answer given with the utmost honesty and sincerity. They’re not going to feel ‘different,’ because there are hundreds — thousands — of children all over the world who are raised solely by their mothers or only by their fathers. I’m choosing to focus on the light, not the dark.
I always knew a wanted to be a father. I have such happy childhood memories of my own dad, and I thought it was important to share that kind of love with children of my own.
I felt a real need to see myself reflecting in my children’s eyes, that’s why I decided to go with a surrogate. It was the best option for me at this point in my life. There are people who think that science and medicine don’t go with God, but I see art and God’s hand in each and every one of my sons’ movements, in each smile and every cry. This whole process has been a spiritual one for me. Becoming a parent has been a blessing."
March 29, 2010
If someone asked me today, "Ricky, what are you afraid of?" I would answer "the blood that runs through the streets of countries at war...child slavery, terrorism...the cynicism of some people in positions of power, the misinterpretation of faith." But fear of my truth? Not at all! On the contrary, It fills me with strength and courage. This is just what I need especially now that I am the father of two beautiful boys that are so full of light and who with their outlook teach me new things every day. To keep living as I did up until today would be to indirectly diminish the glow that my kids were born with.

In a new NYT profile by Robert Draper, Senator Lindsey Graham denies the gay rumors:
"For his sins, Glenn Beck termed the senator Obama Lite, while Rush Limbaugh labeled him Lindsey Grahamnesty. Less tame are the blogosphere monikers, like 'Miss Lindsey,' that play off of Graham’s never-married status. During a South Carolina Tea Party rally this spring, one speaker created an uproar by postulating that Graham supported a guest-worker program out of fear that the Democrats might otherwise expose his homosexuality. (Graham smirked when I brought this up. 'Like maybe I’m having a clandestine affair with Ricky Martin,' he said. 'I know it’s really gonna upset a lot of gay men — I’m sure hundreds of ’em are gonna be jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge — but I ain’t available. I ain’t gay. Sorry.')"
And it ain't his first time at this rodeo, either.

Golden Gate Bridge. Oh, I get it. Because all those gay guys live in San Francisco, right?
I love that Ian is sincere about his concern for the oil spill, but he also included in his message something personal related to his showmance. The casual lurker like us miss it, but the Vampire Diaries fangirls are cheering. Nina is in Australia on holidays and he will join her. Twitter bearding-fauxmancing must be a CW idea.
Catching up on the last couple of pages of comments so this is late but...Ian is in Australia for a Vampire Diaries fan event. Paul is also there.

Actress Julianne Moore is calling on U.S. legislators to legalize same sex marriage, insisting people of all sexual orientations should have the same rights.
The "The Hours" star, who plays a lesbian with Annette Bening as her partner in new movie "The Kids Are All Right", admits she is dismayed that gay couples have been banned from celebrating their love in a traditional wedding ceremony.
So she has thrown her support behind a campaign to turn it into law, especially in her hometown of New York City. She tells WENN.com, "Absolutely, everyone should have the same rights. It's a right, no one should be denied that."
Moore isn't the only famous New York resident to lend her voice to the same sex marriage campaign - "Sex and the City" star Cynthia Nixon has been campaigning for the cause for the past year so she can wed her partner Christine Marinoni in the Big Apple.

Maggie Gyllenhaal is to star in a film about the origins of a sex toy.
The 'Nanny McPhee And The Big Bang' actress is reportedly in talks to take the lead role in 'Hysteria', a Victorian-era drama which examines the invention of the vibrator in the 1870s.
According to Daily Mail newspaper columnist Baz Bamigboye, Rupert Everett, Hugh Dancy and Jonathan Pryce are also in negotiations to star in the film, which will be directed Tanya Wexler. Jonah Lisa Dyer, Stephen Dyer and Howard Gensler are writing the screenplay, which is based on the mid-19th century medical idea that some women suffered from 'hysteria', a condition which encompassed symptoms such as irritability, anger and lack of sleep. Medics treated their patients with a manual pelvic massage, but over time a clockwork, then electric, device was created to do the job, developments which the film will explore.
The film will reportedly be shot in London and Luxembourg.

How sweet is that??? *rolls eyes* I hope J&A believers aren't upset (I would be).
Can someone remind Austin that while he's sticking two lots of birds up at the BP logo, he no doubt travelled to the Gulf in a vehicle run on BP-drilled oil.
In fact, his luxury life as a US citizen would be nothing without oil supplied by the likes of BP. You can wail capitalism but then would you give it up? Virtually every product we use in our daily lives comes from oil, plastics in every shape and form, polymers, gases to cook and clothing, even many drugs and industrial products like bitumen come from the fractioning of hydrocarbons in crude oil.
Austin wouldn't even BE in LA were it not for oil companies like BP unless he'd enjoy walking across several states to work instead of jetting off or using his car.
People don't know how lucky they are. They want to diss the big oil companies but then they are not prepared to live life vastly more simplified and primative, which would be the case without oil. The Austin's of this world would soon be struggling to maintain their lifestyle at this level.
Demanding that companies behave responsibly, like having a contingency plan in the event of an oil spill, won't set us back to the Iron Age, I don't think.
Re the earlier oil discussion that I missed: What's amazing to me is 1. There is that much oil deep under the ocean floor 2. How did anyone ever find it?!
Geologists assess the source rocks and work out from data collected the age of the rocks and the likelihood of them being formed during continental drift and tectonic movements millions of years ago. Oil is a fossil fuel, coming from the remains of dead carbon sources (animal and plant matter compacted) beneath the rocks as they move during millions of years of uplift and distortion.
Modern day seismic does the rest, pinpointing the oil within the rocks. Even more modern products have learned to find oil with more precision.
Demanding that companies behave responsibly, like having a contingency plan in the event of an oil spill, won't set us back to the Iron Age, I don't think.
So sticking two fingers up at the hand that feeds is the solution is it?
Tell ya what, take his car off him and make him fucking walk to walk and then see how he feels.
Oh come on, you sanctimonious lot act like you've never seen anyone do that before. Please.
He's probably just angry and frustrated at the situation. If he's seen anything like I've heard from some of the reports down there, it's got to be upsetting. A lot more important than worrying and speculating and losing sleep over who he's fucking.
Oh come on, you sanctimonious lot act like you've never seen anyone do that before. Please.
Of course we did see that before.
What we didn't see before is Austin looking like a stupid 16 year old and being proud of that.
He's probably just angry and frustrated at the situation.
I'm sure Austin is angry and frustrated, who wouldn't be? I'm surprised and frustrated by his lack of intelligence.
He's protesting. That was the joke about using his mug shot too, in case he got "arrested".
He's protesting.
Protesting against what? Which tweets are about his protesting?
I'll leave you all to tsk-tsk over Austin's decorum. Happy 4th of July!
Happy Independence Day, 5:49 PM!
Demanding that companies behave responsibly, like having a contingency plan in the event of an oil spill, won't set us back to the Iron Age, I don't think.
It is the task of the Government to look after the welfare of all the people. Government should protect the environment and force the companies to do the same.
Yes, Happy Independence Day to all who celebrate! :)

Jana's wedding on the 4th
Who's Jana / why do you expect Austin and Sophia to be there?
Jana is Austin and Sophia's co-star from OTH. Some speculation that they will be there since it's in MI on the 4th and Austin has family there and likes to spend time there, especially on holidays.
All OTH actresses are getting married this year!
Thanks 9:05 PM!
Ok Austin with Sophia in the Gulf were he gets so much support from her, Jake is in MV. Where the hell is babytile? If Special K is still here, please answer this. I'm sure she knows.
Austin is in LA or maybe in Austin, TX - he mentioned the plane in one of his tweets. The Gulf trip was very short, just enought to take some photos.
OTH filming starts on July 14 and will end in December or later. Jake and Austin are history.
Demanding that companies behave responsibly, like having a contingency plan in the event of an oil spill, won't set us back to the Iron Age, I don't think.
I agree.
If only that was what Austin had demanded. If only he was saying something even semi-intelligent and responsible.
Instead, he is saying that BP, "could stop that leak anytime they want." In other words, it is knowingly, intentionally fucking itself and the environment.
The BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is not only the worst in US history, it is also one of the worst catastrophes in business history. As a company, BP's days of leading the world are over. Its brand will never recover in the United States. Litigation will hobble what's left of the company for years. I think they deserve all that. But to say they are doing it to themselves on purpose is moronic. I'm embarrassed for him and truly wish I'd never read any of his tweets.
Celebrities are much better as fantasy figures.
Jake and Austin are history.
Most likely they've been history for a long time.
ITA 8:15 AM. I think the agreement by Jake to beard ended whatever they had. I think that they are friends with benefits occasionally but that's it. I still believe Jake is BI with a leaning towards men.
Celebrities are much better as fantasy figures.
:)
I think the agreement by Jake to beard ended whatever they had.
Why do you think that? As we can see, Austin seems happy to beard with Sophia, so why would he have such a problem with Jake's ex bearding?
I doubt Austin gave a crap about Jake bearding with the chin.
8:32 AM, what you say doesn't make any sense. If Jake were bi like you say, why would he need to beard? Gay men beard, bi men date women and men.
I doubt Austin gave a crap about Jake bearding with the chin.
I agree. I know I'm in minority but I don't think Jake and Austin were ever in a serious relationship. I think they were fuck buddies. The fact that they remained friends backs this up IMO because most couples don't hang out after they break up especially with one of them's beard.
Celebrities are much better as fantasy figures.
I've read tweets from a different celebrities, from Tom Cruise to ex NKOTB singer, but didn't find many cringeworthy posts. Some of them are quite interesting people, and sometimes I'm pleasantly surprised, like when Brazilian football player Kaka tweets against child slavery and prostitution:
http://tweetphoto.com/29807104 Being part of @aplusk campaign "Real men don't buy girls" against prostitution.
RT @mrskutcher: Thank U 4 joining the fight 2 end child slavery! RT @RealKaka http://bit.ly/dhbFhs Being part of (cont) http://tl.gd/276hqf
I doubt Austin gave a crap about Jake bearding with the chin.
I agree, why should Austin do that?
I know I'm in minority but I don't think Jake and Austin were ever in a serious relationship. I think they were fuck buddies.
I think it was a serious relationship for a while. Jake and Austin know each other for 7 years, so still being friends isn't surprising.

The list of benefits that make Google one of the world’s most attractive employers just grew again, this time for gay and lesbian employees. The company announced Thursday that it would begin to cover the extra costs gay and lesbian employees must pay compared to straight employees when their partners receive domestic partner health benefits.
The increased compensation will be retroactive to the beginning of the year, according to The New York Times, which outlined the problem and the significance of Google’s action.
“Google is not the first company to make up for the extra tax,” reported the Times. “At least a few large employers already do. But benefits experts say Google’s move could inspire its Silicon Valley competitors to follow suit, because they compete for the same talent.
“Under federal law, employer-provided health benefits for domestic partners are counted as taxable income, if the partner is not considered a dependent. The tax owed is based on the value of the partner’s coverage paid by the employer.”
It was not immediately clear how many of the company’s almost 21,000 employees would be affected by the new policy, which only applies to same-sex couples because straight couples have the option of marrying, according to the Times.
According to a 2007 estimate from the Williams Institute, employees with domestic partners may pay almost $1,100 more in taxes each year compared to married employees with the same health coverage.

"what you say doesn't make any sense. If Jake were bi like you say, why would he need to beard? Gay men beard, bi men date women and men.”
Same reason as Reese, better PR with a “better" person. Reese gets your name in the paper. If Jake was dating a female grade school teacher, no PR.
Some people think Reese’s new guy isn’t so new. She didn’t trot him out so fast, she used Jake. He was “better” and kept her in the news, with a younger boyfriend.
Personally, I think Jake is bi.
Jake bearded with the chin because of Rendition, risk free beard and high profile beard.
Jake is gay.
Same reason as Reese, better PR with a “better" person.
You missed the point. Bi men date women, they don't beard with bitches they don't even like. Ask Bradley Cooper.
8:32 AM, what you say doesn't make any sense. If Jake were bi like you say, why would he need to beard? Gay men beard, bi men date women and men.
I'm not 8:32, but Jake couldn't come out as bi anymore than he could come out as gay. I don't think the fact that he bearded necessarily proves that he isn't bi. Bearding with Reese made them one of those "famous celeb couples" that get a lot of press, and the intention was to take make it look like he was in a serious committed relationship with a woman, not just dating a woman or dating a series of women. And it made her look like she could snag a hot young heartthrob so that she didn't appear to be the pitiful wife that got dumped. Win-win, or so they thought. In reality, he lost a lot of appeal because he was so clearly not being himself and they were so obviously not a couple in love.
If Jake was dating a female grade school teacher, no PR.
Not true. Jake would get "straight" PR and that is the reason and the point of bearding.

Jake Gyllenhaal im Exklusiv-Interview:
Q: Wie gefällt Ihr Body denn Ihrer Freundin? Nach der Trennung von Reese Witherspoon sollen Sie jetzt mit Rachel McAdams zusammen sein …
A: Könnten wir das Thema bitte außen vor lassen? Danke. Je mehr man über Privates spricht, desto öfter sieht man die eigene Visage an der Supermarktkasse. Dieser Overkill ist die größte Gefahr für junge Schauspieler.

Q: How do your body as your girlfriend? After separation from Reese Witherspoon Rachel McAdams and you should be together ...
A: Can we leave the topic please sidelines? Thank you. The more you talk about your private life, the more often you see your own face at the supermarket. This overkill is the greatest danger to young actors.
Personally, I think Jake is bi.
Because he dated Dunst?
I don't think the fact that he bearded necessarily proves that he isn't bi.
Yes, it does prove Jake is gay.
Jake had no need for "a serious committed relationship with a woman", that was what Reese's public image needed, that's why she bearded for Jake.
the intention was to take make it look like he was in a serious committed relationship with a woman, not just dating a woman or dating a series of women
26 year old Hollywood actors don't need committed relationships for good PR or good image.
Jake had no need for "a serious committed relationship with a woman",
Says who? You? What better way to show you're a completely straight man than to be in a committed relationship - plus you're ignoring the fact that Reese gave him more press than just dating any woman who wasn't as famous.
that was what Reese's public image needed, that's why she bearded for Jake.
Reese needed to look like she wasn't the heartsick, pathetic ex-wife who got dumped for a new and improved version. And, yes, trying to make it appear that one of the best looking guys in HW was "in love" with her was the plan.
26 year old Hollywood actors don't need committed relationships for good PR or good image.
They would if they're trying to dispel gossip that they're gay.
Reese needed to look like she wasn't the heartsick, pathetic ex-wife who got dumped for a new and improved version.
Reese needed a "boyfriend" who will fake a relationship for a long time. Someone real, who could have dumped her after 3 months was not an option.
You missed the point. Bi men date women, they don't beard with bitches they don't even like. Ask Bradley Cooper.
YOU missed the point. PR has nothing to do with who they are really dating. Reese keeps you in the news, Sally Schoolteacher doesn’t. Either gives you “straight” but Reese gives you “straight” and covers.
There are plenty of straight people who pretend to date people for many reasons.
I do think that Jake wants to have a “good man” PR image. Him dating the bimbo of the week would be out of PR character. He may big a big slut (pick a sex), but he doesn’t want the public to know that.
I have a job where my community/job image matters. I do not bring my private into my public. Actually, I am straight, but some people think I’m gay because I don’t bring dates to events.
What better way to show you're a completely straight man than to be in a committed relationship
Jake would get more straight PR for dating two attractive models.
you're ignoring the fact that Reese gave him more press than just dating any woman who wasn't as famous
Bad press. Reese turned him into a tool, pussy wipped bore, bad image for someone with big Hollywood ambitions.
Either gives you “straight” but Reese gives you “straight” and covers.
Reese got covers, not Jake.

That is not true.

Jake IS a good man. If he was straight he wouldn't date bimbos.
Jake would get more straight PR for dating two attractive models.
You might see it that way, but his PR might not see it that way and general public might not see it that way - plus, dating an A-list actress gives him more positive press - the kind he wants.
Bad press. Reese turned him into a tool, pussy wipped bore, bad image for someone with big Hollywood ambitions.
I don't think bearding with Reese turned out the way they intended. I do think it made him boring, but that's just my opinion. Anyway, they know they're not going to convince the true JiG believers anyway. They just want to keep the support of delusional babbler types and clueless fangirls, along with the general public who don't think too deeply about these things and it's enough for them to keep seeing pics in People and US and reading about fake engagement plans every couple months.
Reese got covers, not Jake.
Who was she pictured with? HIM.
If he was straight he wouldn't date bimbos.

Why stupid?
He doesn't even realize he's no where near Jake.
It's funny, I usually don't go for the pretty boys either, and one of the things I liked about Jake and Austin is that they have their physical flaws. But I guess it was seeing Bomer's charming ways in White Collar, which is where I first saw him, that got me to "stay". That plus the fact that he is far from plastic in personality and seems really down to earth. And anymore it just seems to me that J&A have turned into their own HW versions of Ken dolls since Reeke and Sophin.
How would Joe know that Jake is in Massachusetts if he didn't see him? He's Jake's fan and follows tweets about him?

Speaking of Bomer, I think this is the first time he's gotten a mention on Towleroad. I bought EW today, he is in the centerfold, with a two-page photo spread. However, there's no interview, just the pictures.
And speaking of glass closets, a really good friend of mine was in a vegetarian restaurant in the village for lunch yesterday and saw Anderson Cooper and his boyfriend. She said they were holding hands under the table.
I dunno. Prolly thinks Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard are the same thing. He never said he saw him. Said "he's somewhere near us here". Yeah, about 23 miles and a body of water away.
But how would Joe know that Jake is there at the moment?

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww :)
Posting photos of Anderson Cooper and Ben Maisani leaving the David Barton Gym in New York (the city's gayest gym, and that's a hard title to come by), the blog Just Jared, which is run by Jared Eng (who is gay, and cute), refers to them as "pals." Yeah, like Bert and Ernie are "pals."
This is a departure from other celebrity blogs run by the gays: Posting the same photos, Dlisted's Michael K refers to Cooper's partner as his "new full-time whore Benjamin Maisani," while Pink Is The New Blog's Trent says he's "rumored boyfriend Benjamin Maisani."

LMAO! Sorry.

MTE, destiny. I re-watched that q&a he did with Tim DeKay where they answered the questions from White Collar fans. They are both adorable. And so earnest, genuine and intelligent in the way they answered the questions and the way they interact with each other. You can tell Matt isn't trying to come off a certain way - he's just being himself and that's really appealing and attractive. Matt is the opposite of plastic, for sure.

That tweeter, Joe Quinn is tweeting from Cape Cod it seems. If he heard that Jake was near by Jake prolly took a ferry from MV to CC for the day.
I was lurking on GB and they posted two pics from MV: one of Chris at a market and the other of Jake and Chris watcing some boats on MV. I don't know when the pics were taken, jake is clean shaven but they have to be recent because they would have posted them before now.
What? No pictures of Atti? :)

I found the Elle interview:
“That’s a real guy you had breakfast with,” Anne Hathaway says afterward. “A lot of actors only know how to be real when the camera is rolling, but Jake is unbelievably warm and open and welcoming. There’s no mistake why he’s so charming on-screen.” She should know, although in Brokeback, Gyllenhaal’s character couldn’t dance around Hathaway fast enough to wrestle with Heath Ledger in the high pines. (While Ledger and costar Michelle Williams were beginning a passionate affair, “Jake and I were geeking out over The Simpsons.”) But in Love and Other Drugs, Gyllenhaal and Hathaway take the on-screen chemistry in a distinctly hetero direction.
“I lured her to do the movie by telling her that [Brokeback] wasn’t our love story, this one should be,” he says in an admission of tactical charm. He’s a Big Pharma drug rep, she’s an artist in the early stages of Parkinson’s disease, and they fall in love in a no-holds-barred sort of way, exposing at least as much flesh as Gyllenhaal did in his near-naked dance in the Gulf War sufferfest Jarhead. “We’re going to learn the hard, dirty, rough parts of ourselves and share them at the same time,” is how he describes their dramatic approach. “Jake invites vulnerability,” Hathaway says. “He’s not afraid of that.”

I like Dekay too; he is a big part of why trhe show works, abd of course love the bromance on white Collar. Love the way he and Bomer interact on panels, etc.

Who better than Anne? I hope Jake and Michelle will work together again, too.

I hope the early positive reviews aren't plants (like somone suggested) and LAOD is really as well made as they say. I want Jake to be in a critically well received movie again. The last one was Zodiac. :(
As for Michelle. Like her personality or not, she's a good actress and it'd be great to see her work with Jake again (they only had one scene in BBM). Hopefully one day. :)

That tweeter, Joe Quinn is tweeting from Cape Cod it seems. If he heard that Jake was near by Jake prolly took a ferry from MV to CC for the day.
I was lurking on GB and they posted two pics from MV: one of Chris at a market and the other of Jake and Chris watcing some boats on MV. I don't know when the pics were taken, jake is clean shaven but they have to be recent because they would have posted them before now.
They post when they are told to post.

I'm not disputing what you're saying - but, by whom? Whomever supplies them with the pics?

Not plants, Jeffrey Wells confirmed them.

And he's reliable? If he is, I hope the positive trend will continue for the movie.
Yes, he is reliable.
Hathaway's Big Score?
I lured her to do the movie by telling her that [Brokeback] wasn’t our love story, this one should be,” he says...
It's great that Jake can influence the directors of his movies whom to cast. Jake admitted to requesting Anne for LAOD and Natalie for Brothers. I wonder whom else he suggested to be cast as his co star? I bet it only works with indie movies though, I doubt directors for big budget movies, will listen to their stars' wishes whom to cast.
They post when they are told to post.
By whom? Who took the photo?
From ONTD:
Bomer Likes Barbecue, + more photos
White Collar star MATT BOMER on his favorite summer activity:
''Barbecue. You can take the boy out of Texas, but you can't take the Texas out of the boy. I have my own special sauce that I make, I like to get friends over, people swimming in the pool, enjoying themselves, a little alcoholic beverage. Whatever it takes to relax.'' —As told to Archana Ram
Yes, he is reliable.
Hathaway's Big Score?
I wish he'd keep us updated, all this information is from February.

Oh, and the most importan question - why? Why would anyone try to hide Jake's whereabouts?
Sorry guys, J&A believers don't answer questions.
WHO THE FUCK IS "WHOM"??
I hope the looney jaustinies aren't suggesting that the Joe Quinn tweet is fake and that PR gave GB those photos. Give me a break, I thought that FL and UV both live in Mass (as does SK) and that both FL and UV do vacation on MV (I remember from when I was posting on DCF).
So they or someone took a pic of Jake on MV, big deal and as that someone has posted it has to be recent or it would have turned up earlier plus we have tweets of him on MV since Monday.
Therapies that purport to “cure” gay people were denounced as harmful during the annual meeting of the British Medical Association, reports Pink News.
At the Thursday session, the majority of physicians attending agreed that the Royal College of Psychiatrists and other mental health standard-setting organizations should reject and ban the treatments.
“Sexuality is such a fundamental part of who a person is that attempts to change it just result in significant confusion, depression and even suicide,” said Tom Dolphin, vice-chair of the BMA’s junior doctors committee. “You can’t just wish away same-sex attraction no matter how inconvenient it might be.”

Troll spent the last year trying to argue that Jake and Austin dont even know each other anymore. That got blown by the gym pics. Now they are trying to sell no more relationship or babytile. Jake and Austin are just taking turns bearding. Im waiting for the explanation why Jake never has any women in his life. Too bad a handsome horny 29 yr old cant seem to get a date. And the only female in Austins life is a long time friend. Even poor Chris is never seen with a woman.
"The freepers posting here are from the DC Forum: Self-loathing, log cabin rethugs, I recognize some of their rantings." Wrong again. DC forum is dead as a doornail and has been for some time. The same 2 or 3 people post nothing but ancient photos of Jake. Discussion of Prince of Persia never got off the ground. Wrong crowd for that movie. If you are going to make accusations do your homework first. Otherwise you have no credibility whatsoever.
" Im waiting for the explanation why Jake never has any women in his life. "
Cliche number one: "he is too handsome and famous to be single and so must be gay!"
"Austin is calling Jake his lady now."
Oh god I didn't know jaustinites so desperate! they need help and quick!
"Give me a break, I thought that FL and UV both live in Mass (as does SK) and that both FL and UV do vacation on MV (I remember from when I was posting on DCF)."
UV and SK are the same person - both blogs are planted by PR.
"and SK are the same person - both blogs are planted by PR."

Cristiano Ronaldo tweeted: It is with great joy and emotion that I inform I have recently become father to a baby boy. As agreed with the baby's mother, who prefers to have her identity kept confidential, my son will be under my exclusive guardianship. No further information will be provided on this subject and I request everyone to fully respect my right to privacy (and that of the child) at least on issues as personal as these are.
the announcement
UV and SK are the same person - both blogs are planted by PR.
Bullshit x 2.
1:35: I'm not fucking talking about that pathetic Jake eyelashes thread over there, I'm talking about the site, there are other threads, political, etc, non-Jake threads.
When WTF first started in 2006, posters linked to DCF, plenty posted on WTF from DCF not really Jake fans but liked to gossip.
The anti-Obabma rantings for instance that were posted here were word for word, the freeper, log cabin ramblings from DCF. I won't use there DCF names here, they should be embarrased already.
Oh out the fuckers, I know that NWWaguy from DCF posts here, freeper fuck.
That got blown by the gym pics. Now they are trying to sell no more relationship or babytile. Jake and Austin are just taking turns bearding. Im waiting for the explanation why Jake never has any women in his life.
1. No one got blown by the gym pics, the beard ruined them.
2. Jake and Austin don't care about spending time together = there is no BT.
3. "I'm so lucky. My lady supports all my sporting habits. I love you!!!" = Jake and Austin are just friends.
4. Jake and Austin being gay does NOT equal Jake and Austin are a couple.
Hathaway's Big Score?
Fingers crossed.
Anne needs to break up with that thief she's currently dating. He is not good for her image. Why does she always draw losers? I respect her as an actress and even as a person, she's no easy prey like many of her peers, but she isn't lucky in choosing her boyfriends.
Has Cristiano Ronaldo done a Ricky Martin?
Hope so! :)
Happy 4th of July! Try not to drink too much ;)
Stephen Gyllenhaal, father of Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal, is better known for directing television episodes than feature films, but that may soon change thanks to his political comedy, Grassroots. The film, which is an adaptation of Phil Campbell's memoir Zioncheck for President: A True Story of Idealism and Madness in American Politics, had already assembled an interesting little cast, but its two latest members have locked it down as 'keep an eye on this one' film for me: DC Pierson (one of the founding members of Derrick Comedy, star of Mystery Team, and author of The Boy Who Couldn't Sleep and Never Had To) and Cobie Smulders (How I Met Your Mother, The L Word).

A gay couple that made legal history when they were jointly registered as fathers are this weekend celebrating the arrival of their fourth and fifth children.
Barrie and Tony Drewitt-Barlow, of Danbury, Essex, said more than 150 people are due to attend a christening service for five-month-old twins Dallas and Jasper on Sunday. The couple, both businessmen in their 40s, said the boys were born to a surrogate mother in California, USA, in February and would be christened at St John the Baptist Church in Danbury.
They said surrogate mother Rosalind Bellamy and the egg donor - "up and coming Russian supermodel" Alexandra Cooper-Strash - would be among guests.
Barrie Drewitt-Barlow said he and his partner had "angered church groups over the years". But he added: "It is important for us to have the children all christened. As a Christian family we feel that it is important for our children to be given the opportunity to follow the teachings of the church and if they decide when they are older not to, then that is their choice." He said the couple's third child, seven-year-old Orlando, would also be christened at the service.
The couple first hit the headlines in 1999 when their twin daughters Aspen and Saffron, were born to a surrogate mother in California and, following a ruling by an American court, became the first British children to be registered as having two fathers and no mother.

Michael k about Ronaldo:
Cristiano Ronaldo Is A Daddy
...So the mother of Crispy's kid just gave up custody without trying to snatch as many oil-covered bills as possible from him? What fun is that?! WAIT. Maybe this unnamed woman is really a surrogate, and Crispy plans to raise with the baby with Kaká (Yes, Kaká aka The Best Name Ever is going to leave his wife to marry Crispy in a tanning bed). Together they will train CrispyKaká Jr. in the art of brow plucking and suntanning just until your skin is about to boil over and fall off. Crispy will also give CrispyKaká Jr. the secret on how to keep your entire body as greasy as a power bottom's ass after a butt orgy. Yes, this is how it's going to play out.

#1 & 2 - The line of the night last night. This C+/B- list television actress who will disappear when her show gets canceled was all over this A list movie actor. And by all over I mean all over. She kept trying to get him to leave with her probably more for the cameras outside then anything else, but our actor said, "You are too easy even for me. Move along."

The Awful Truth Bill of Rights
Happy Fourth of July, babes! Team Awful isn't one for legal mumbo jumbo—we leave that to the lovely and hard-assed E! lawyers—but we decided to poke through a history book and celebrate Independence Day with a revamping of our founding fathers' Bill of Rights, T-town style.
Now, Benny Franklin didn't have to deal with Twi-hards, Blind Vices, and paparazzi smack-downs in those boring colonial days, so we took it upon ourselves to update all ten trusty amendments to fulfill our Awful needs.
Get ready for us to lay down the law:
First Amendment: Freedom for Megan Fox to Say Whatever the Ef She Wants
Second Amendment: Right for Sarah Palin to not bear arms...or a microphone.
Third Amendment: Protection from Nonstens and Niley haters.
Fourth Amendment: Protection from unreasonable seizure of Chace Crawford's weed (this law does not extend to Lindsay Lohan).
Fifth Amendment: Jake Gyllenhaal cannot incriminate himself with bad movies or bad fauxmances.
Sixth Amendment: Confrontation Clause: Lea Michele has the right to know who's bitchin' about her.
Seventh Amendment: Try not acting civil—it's so much fun. Just ask Britney, Gaga, or any of the Sex and the City gals.
Eight Amendment: Prohibition of cruel and unusual punishment served up by Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Garner or Reese Witherspoon.
Ninth Amendment: Protection of Sandra Bullock from unforeseen douchebags.
Tenth Amendment: Power of beards and Vices rein supreme.
And that, dolls, was all done without a Harvard law school degree. Impressive, we know!
Now go cuddle with your gal or guy and watch the fireworks—you know that's what Robsten's doing!

O Regresso dos Incriveis 2010 - Cristiano Ronaldo - 2 of 5 (HD) - TRANSLATED to English and Español
Fifth Amendment: Jake Gyllenhaal cannot incriminate himself with bad movies or bad fauxmances.
Fingers crossed for good movies and no fauxmances!
This is Matt Bomer at the Trevor Project. Dustin Lance Black's words here, “The vast majority of these kids don’t know that there’s hope. Or that there's [events like] what we saw this past weekend here in New York, with a million people coming out to celebrate the LGBT community. First you listen to them and their struggles. Whether it’s reading Harvey [Milk]’s letters from 30 years ago or listening to these phone calls today, it’s all the same message: ‘I feel different.' What we're here to say is ‘You are different... and that’s fantastic! And there’s a beautiful life ahead of you.’ "

Another Bomer post, including a new photo in a hat ( I think that makes me swoon more than the wet t-shirt) and Bomer at the Trevor Project. Sigh, doesn't get any better than that.
Fifth Amendment: Jake Gyllenhaal cannot incriminate himself with bad movies or bad fauxmances.
That's not the first time Ted has come right out and said that Jake himself (not using the Toothy BV) was in a fauxmance, is it? Anyways, here's hoping he stops incriminating himself, lol.
As for Matt, going to this is kind of a big deal for a new star. He is "non-committal" with regards to his Sexual Orientation, but he is gay. I mean, most everyone knows who wants to - he was out for a while before he got this job. Now he "declines to say" as he has a whole show riding on his shoulder's and much of it depends on his appeal. But he doesn't lie.
Anyway, I think showing at up at the Trevor Project AND presenting was great. I applaud him (and he is easy on the eyes).
"But he doesn't lie." No, he doesn't and that, to me, makes all the difference in the world. A lot of people could learn from the classy and smart way Matt handles himself.
That's not the first time Ted has come right out and said that Jake himself (not using the Toothy BV) was in a fauxmance, is it?
I think it is.
no it's not , he said many time Reeke was only for pub.
He said that about Toothy, not Jake.
read all his answers or artcles about Reeke and you will see how many time he said they were friends with benefits.

LOL, what a joke!
Ted NEVER said nor suggested anything like that, Ted kept repeating that Reeke is a fauxmance and PR arrangement from Day 1 to the end of the charade.
read all his answers or artcles about Reeke and you will see how many time he said they were friends with benefits.
I think I recall him saying Jake and Reese "romance" was for publicity only - I don't remember him saying they were "friends with benefits." When did he say that?
No I mistake sorry, I meant they were friends with interest
to add I don't know if anyone posted this answer but Ted alredy has hinted the "jake is gay" thing ( the only diffrence now is nobody care anymore)
"Dear Ted:
Our rescue kitty, Trudi, is dying to know what is up with Jake Gyllenhaal. So many people think Jake is gay, but Trudi saw recent photos of him checking some girl out as she climbed some stairs. Did he do it to throw off the paps, or is he actually straight? (I don't think you can out someone as straight can you?) Inquiring kittens want to know...
—Treefon
Dear Yeah, Right:
I'm so sure Trudi is bypassing the catnip and the treats you spoil with her so she can check out the latest tabloids, uh-huh. Regardless, tell "Trudi" that Jake was checking out a pretty girl because that's what people who like sexy, pretty people do. The woman was a looker; he looked. End of story. Add to that, however, that Jake wants you right where you are: wondering. He's adamant that his intimate side remain his. Remind you of anybody else?"
I don't remember him saying they were "friends with benefits." When did he say that?
Never, troll is trying to rewrite the history.
No I mistake sorry, I meant they were friends with interest
Very different.

Ted said Reeke were friends with benefits with the benefits being PUBLICITY. Ted always says Reeke was a fauxmance.
September 30, 2008
Dear Ted:
The mags have been pushing the Reese-Jake romance for over a year now, but neither will confirm or deny the rumors. What’s the big secret?
—Mallory, Conn.
Dear Cladestine Couple:
Those two are just friends with benefits. The benefits, of course, meaning publicity.
( the only diffrence now is nobody care anymore)
I hope Jake and his pathetic PR have learned a lesson.
October 2, 2008
Dear Ted:
If Jake and Reese are just PR buddies, then as far as I can tell, he hasn't dated anyone since he broke up with Kirsten Dunst back in 2005. Is he that picky?
—Jill, M.E.
Dear Dump or Dunst:
Maybe he didn't date KiKi, either.
Ted has done every thing short of coming right out and saying that Jake is gay Jake bearded with Reese Jake is with Austin Jake and Austin have a baby maybe 2. He could not be any clearer than if he flew it on an airplane banner.
^^oops sorry for the repeat, blogger is going crazy on me!
And 6:22PM, yes, that answer was posted. I actually think it's one of the best answers Ted has given. It's true and to the point. Way too much was made of that whole silly thing.
