Father's Day

Clay Aiken and Parker
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."


Ricky Martin, Matteo and Valentio
Ricky Martin

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.

LOL to the man crush and John Barrowman wanting to undress Jake. Lots of man love for Mr. Gyllenhaal lately.
I've heard a rumor that it was actually Heath who fell in love with Jake during the BBM filming, and not the other way around. Those strong feelings he was having scared Heath so much that he throw himself in the arms of the first available female around -- Michelle. As we know, it didn't work out, and Heath never stopped loving Jake.
Jake knew about Heath having this crush on him but he was romantically involved with Austin. He loved and admired Heath as a friend, but he never allowed it to go any further than that.
That fan who attacked and accused Jake of causing Heath's death had heard these rumors as well, and figured Heath had died due to depression partly caused by his feelings for Jake.
This is why Jake is having a hard time talking about Heath, even to this day. Anyone else heard of this?

Inception Mega Post

With Christopher Nolan’s Inception junketing this weekend here in Los Angeles, Warner Bros. has released the floodgates of promotional material over the past 24 hours. Yesterday we posted a ton of new images and today the studio has released the EPK (electronic press kit), which includes an on set interview with director Christopher Nolan, 6 minutes of B-Roll (Behind the Scenes Footage), and a featurette that was released a few weeks ago that you may have missed.

Not so much want, but genuinely wonder. If he really is too lazy to pay visits when he is in Brooklyn, I, if I was Michelle, wouldn't make an effort to inform Jake when I'm in L.A. . I mean, who is he? Either he does make an effort when he's in Brooklyn or Michelle is just really, really nice. I know I wouldn't be.

Anonymous said...

Why is it important to you how often Jake sees Matilda? He said he sees her when she's with Michelle in LA, that's good enough for me. I doubt either Jake, Heath or Michelle really expecting Jake to have to take his role seriously back when they announced it. They all thought Heath would live for a long, long time. Anyway, Matilda has a lot of people to take care of her, she's not Jake's responsibility.

Actually I don't make a big deal out of their friendship. I believe they were friends, but they sure had/have closer friends and even though I believe Jake is the godfather, I think it's rather out of symbolic reasons.

It doesn't matter if we make or don't make a big deal out of him being M's godfather. It's his and Michelle's decision how present he should be in the kids life. I personally think, they call each other most of the time and pay occasional visits to each other. The godmother definitely is a much bigger presence, being Michelle's BFF and all.

I don't even think they were close, tbh. It was annoying that right after Heath died the media made it look like Jake and Heath were best friends. Heath had much closer friends (those guys he grew up with from Australia) that I'm sure were a lot more grieved than Jake.

I don't think anyone honestly doubts that Jake's and Heath's cildhood friends were closer to them than Heath and Jake were to each other. But so what? Doesn't matter anymore. Jake is still Matilda's godfather. And Michelle obviously makes an effort to keep him in the kid's life.

Who do you think you are to tell people what they can or can't talk about? I don't give an Austintweet what you're sick of.

Without BBM on his resume, Jake'd be B-list. One of the most interesting things about Jake is still BBM/Heath/Matilda. There are still questions there that haven't been answered. As for moving on, move on to what. There's only D-lister tards like Austin or the failed chef who is MIA anyway, or ex-hags like Reese or Kiki (though I sort of like her skanky ass now). When someone smart and sexy hooks up with Jake, BBM/Heath talk will go down. Until then, scroll by or post something more interesting yourself that spurs conversation. If you can't do that, that's your failing.

P.S. Jake said in an interview posted here that RDJ was his best friend in Hollywood but no one gets excited about that combo. Dead Heath is still sexier than many living. Maybe that's Jake's problem, too. :-D

I don't know about the rest of the story though. Could be true. Sounds no more far-fetched than Jake having this huge crush on Heath, which I doubt. Fans always confuse BBM for reality, but come on! Jake is stunning, adorable and easy going. He can get anyone he wants. Men and women swoon over him all the time. It's more likely that if anyone had a crush, it would have been Heath. Heath wasn't THAT good looking even if he was very talented. I think Jake admired his acting skills and valued his friendship, but beyond that...naah.

I'm not saying that Heath had a crush on Jake. I'm just saying it's equally as far-fetched as the other way around. I don't believe they were more than friends. Some BBM fans seems to take it as a fact that Jake was madly in love with Heath which is ridiculous. I only played with the idea that it could have been Heath having a crush on Jake but you can't do that, can you?! That drives Heath fans crazy. No, I don't think Heath was sexy or goodlooking, but that's only my opinion. I KNOW there's people out there who disagree with me which is fine. I do think he was very talented though. As for Jake's sex appeal. Don't we get proof all the time that he's regarded as a goodlooking guy by people in general? I don't think he turns straight men gay but more importantly I don't believe that Heath had the power to make a gay man who's already taken, fall madly in love with him. That sounds like fiction to me.

To me, Heath was amazingly good looking - but he had more than that, he has an indescribable appeal that is very sexy. That's why you could cover him up in makeup and plastic scars, green hair and a purple coat and he could still make you swoon into his arms. His talent is something else again.

And it's also possible that Heath had a crush on Jake. Why is that such a hard concept to grasp for Heath fans? `)
We will never know for sure, and that is ok with me. What bothers me is that some BBM fans state that Jake was in love with Heath as if it's actual facts. None of us know for sure.

@ 10:09 AM
Yes, looks are subjective. Am I not allowed to say that I don't think Heath was that goodlooking? I don't mind if you think he was all that. I respect that that is your opinion. I'm not trying to make this into a Jake vs Heath thing. It seems to me that Heath is such a sensitive subject for some of you, but still others who didn't see him the same way, must be allowed to talk about him. And it's hard not to, since some of you constantly bring him up.

Posted on the DL in 2006. Why not, one more dead horse.

"2nd encounter with Jake.. 1 week before Oscars.. my friend was hosting a Q @ A for the AC at Aero... we were in front row.. seated with Focus Features PR shills.. Jake house left .. 10 ft in front of us.. Heath center.. Michelle Wiliams? right, Jake had the flu.. coughing.. again big bloodshot eyes...noticed that Heath dominated the whole thing.. Jake & Michelle's eyes only met at Heath.. Jake barely took his huge blood shot eyes off him..Heath made sideways glances and rumbled whenever Jake made a comment..again asked my friend.. "do you get the same vibe I do about him (Jake). He replied "Heath was the alpha dog on that shoot." wink,wink,nudge,nudge. I'm not a fan of this guy..no doubt his PR shills will follow this post with all their scripted talkin points.. Jake is straight, he dosen't smoke or wear contacts, he and Heath are pals.." Honey don't bother.. I know who pays your rent. Your client pings like a giger counter at Chernobl and me thinks his meltdown is coming."

LOL. Say it all you want, but stop trying to pretend that you were only stating your opinion originally. You got called on it so now you're backtracking. Fine. And I'll point out that you're the only one trying to turn this into some kind of Heath/Jake competition, no matter how much you deny it. Even the people who think Jake had a crush on Heath never said Jake wasn't good looking or attractive. But if it makes you feel better somehow to say Heath wasn't that good looking, go ahead.

Why do they do that? I'm puzzled, especially now that Heath isn't here.

I don't even want to try to get into the mind of some of the babblers/lashers. Too scary and pathetic. Freud could've written some great papers on them, lol. Bottom line is that some of them are simply nucking futz. Absolutely zero objectivity when it comes to anything involving Jake.

And some of them are the slashiest of slash writers too. *shrugs*

ikr? Like I said, nucking futz and hypocritical on top of it.

New Spanish interview with Jake on IHJ (promotes PoP, mentions Heath, exes mentioned too):

Texas GOP wants to criminalize sodomy, make gay marriage felony

Texas Republican are out to prove that they are the most ignorant homophobic bigots in the country, and doing a good job. The 2010 Texas Republican state party platform recently released calls for the re-criminalization of sodomy and to make it a felony to issue a marriage license to a same-sex couple.

The relevant part of the party platform reads:

“We oppose the legalization of sodomy. We demand that Congress exercise its authority granted by the U.S. constitution to withhold jurisdiction from the federal courts from cases involving sodomy. We support legislation that would make it a felony to issue a marriage license to a same-sex couple and for any civil official to perform a marriage ceremony for such. We believe that the practice of homosexuality tears at the fabric of society, contributes to the breakdown of the family unit, and leads to the spread of dangerous, communicable diseases.”

Sodomy, otherwise known as oral and anal sex, between consenting adults should be of no concern to state or federal government officials. The proposal is ridiculous, and represents a Republican party being held hostage by Christian fascists.

"Maybe some Spanish native speaker who posts on WFT 2 could translate some interesting parts?"

Here's the most interesting part:

The article says that Jake doesn’t talk about his personal life and this is written in a contract that the interviewer had to sign.

(Q: question / A: Jake's answer)

Q: BBM was a turning point in your career...
A: Without a doubt. It became a phenomenon and a contemporary classic. My life is a before and after BBM.

Q: How was working with Heath Ledger and how do you remember him?
A: Everybody asks me that...and how was to kiss him. He had an extraordinary talent and he was an extraordinary person. We had a great friendship.

Q: Besides being a great friend, you are the godfather of his daughter, Matilda rose
A: Yes, a beautiful responsibility.

Q: Do you see her often?
A: When Hollywood allows me.

Q: You've been in Hollywood since birth. What do you think about this world?
A: Hollywood has people with huge talent, but also an unhealthy obsession with fame: a very stupid side.

Q: What do you do when you are not working?
A: I bike, read, cook... I am a very good cook.

Q: To end with a clarification, is it true that your kissing scenes with Heath brought rumors about your sexual orientation?
A: Only among fools. BBM was much more than a kiss between men. Everything depends on the intelligence of the audience.

I'd agree with that. But BBM is not the source of the rumors about his sexuality, no matter how much the JiG crowd tries to push that theory. And Jake is well aware of that. It's a clever way to answer that question. If it were simply a matter of BBM, there would be an equal amount of rumors about Heath's sexuality and there aren't. I absolutely agree that BBM was about much more than a kiss or sex between men.

My life is a before and after BBM.

Yes, I can see that, too. And that puts to rest the idea that babblers like to push that BBM was "just another movie" to Jake and didn't hold any more importance to him than any other movie.

Why would Jake care if Heath was a talented and versatile actor? He's not a critic and he only worked with him once, doubtful they would have worked together again.

Not as much, since Heath fucked Michelle all throughout BBM shoot.
How convenient was that gal on this set for Heath? As a rebound for a previous relationship and as proof for his straightness. Good for him that she was, well...willing. ;)

lmao @ the typical babbler company line that Heath only used Michelle to prove his "straightness" as though he'd never been with a woman before or after. Nice try, but Heath was a known womanizer and his on-set affair with Michelle was hardly surprising or unusual. In any case, the 'rumors' about Jake being gay aren't based on BBM, so it's a moot point.

But Michelle was not his type. Did you see how she looked before stylists made a makeover with her when BBM promotional work started? Not too well. In some pics when she followed Heath to Australia, he looked embarrassed to be pictured with her. I think he was a sweet talker and manipulator with women, I think Michelle thought she was the one for him. No wonder when he dumped her that she whined, she didn't expect him to break her heart. What an idiot!

I agree, nothing surprising or special. I bet that if Jake was a woman he would have snatched Heath first. Michelle was convenient as in she was a woman, easy to get and around 24/7 for Heath to er, release his tension.

June 24 - I went to the Loews Cineplex on Third Ave. with my friends to see Cinderella Man. About 5 minutes into the movie Heath Ledger and some woman who was definately not Michelle came in to the theater and sat in front of us. They made out heavily for most of the movie. I guess Heath thinks a dark movie theater is a good place to cheat on his pregnant girlfriend. He should know by now that wearing that same green hat everywhere is not the best way to go incognito.

It was different with Naomi Watts, he seemed really in love with her. With Michelle it was maybe interest (among other convenient reasons) at first, but even that faded very quickly.
