Love and Obstacles
October 4, 2010
This past weekend, the New Yorker held its annual festival, which -- as always -- includes a multitude of speakers and panels discussing a variety of topics. Top players in all professions were represented, including Stephen King, Malcolm Gladwell, Jake Gyllenhaal and Regina Spektor -- all chatting about themselves and their areas of expertise. Our favorite, though, would have to have been Cynthia Nixon on the panel discussion "Love and Obstacles: The Case for Gay Marriage."
Ms. Nixon, who is most known for her role has Miranda Hobbes in Sex and the City, and now is engaged to education activist Christine Marinoni, stole our hearts with her rather calm, well made argument. Not only does she make a good case, she makes an example of how to make said point.
“Gay people who want to marry have no desire to redefine marriage in any way. When women got the vote, they did not redefine voting. When African-Americans got the right to sit at a lunch counter alongside white people, they did not redefine eating out. They were simply invited to the table. And that is all we want to do. We have no desire to change marriage. We want to be entitled to not only the same privileges, but the same responsibilities as straight people.”

What? Where? Link please!
What? Where? Link please!
I read his tweet some weeks ago where he said he's glad he's soon gonna finish that Hollywood flick, so he can move on to another project. I have no link (I read it on one of Jake's fan sites. I'm not lying.).
Well, Duncan didn't say anything bad - and I'm sure he knows he can't do anything like that and piss off producers :)
Kind of OT:
old perv with Annie
LOL
Perv? He's just enjoying the view!
He's just enjoying the view!
My breasts are dangerous weapon!
Pfft!
What happened to Jake's ability to choose good scripts? I was hoping LAOD would be a gem, but all signs point to mediocre.
I guess that was the best romcom script he was offered.
Jake at LAX:
ONTD
Jake looks good. Does anyone agree that he has beautiful hands?
The only one carrying on about where Jake and Austin are is Jack. I have no clue where Austin is, but I agree that we usually only get shots of Jake at the airport when Jake/pr want us to see them.
I don't think Austin posted the BV clip just to promote the movie,otherwise he would have linked to the official trailer. This one is getting a lot of attention because of RG's rather prominent bulge in one shot of the clip.

Yup, Ryan REALLY likes me. :D

I agree that Jake can avoid paps when he really wants to and that he uses them when he wants to - 8 million pap photos of his fauxmance proved that. But this Jack person, whoever that is, isn't the only one who seems to care about where Austin is, some OMGers pay a lot of attention to that, also.

I don't understand what you're saying. You think he posted the clip only because of Ryan's bulge?

What PR has to airport pics, what is so special about them? Like we wouldn't get LA tweets.

Why did he post the clip then?
The only one carrying on about where Jake and Austin are is Jack.
All OMG posters, WFT2 posters and Jack care VERY much about Jake and Austin's whereabouts.
All OMG posters, WFT2 posters and Jack care VERY much about Jake and Austin's whereabouts.
You can't make blanket statements like that. There are a lot of WFT posters who don't believe J&A are a couple, don't care whether or not they are a couple, and don't care where either one of them are at any particular moment.
destiny and OMG'ers need to find the gay in everything, even the very hetrosexual BV clip.
They must of been twitching all day trying to explain why a gay man like Austin would post a clip of a straight couple about to fuck , one of the many scenes that got the flick a NC-17 rating.
So Destiny and Co spun it as Austin posted it because he liked Ryan's bulge.
Yes, thats all gay men care about 24/7 bulges. Nevermind that he heard about the flick or the fact that he always seems to be posting youtube clips.
And another thing, why did Destiny feel a need to comment on it? Very few did and none said that was the reason he posted it.
You are one nasty piece of work Destiny, and I'm not just talking about this.
OMG'ers are obssessed with the whearabouts of Austin and they are pissed that their fav couple are in different states, again!
They cherry pick tweets, leaving out all of Jakes NYC tweets,the Sophia/Austin tweets and the silly bordering on racist tweets that Austin tweets and that he thinks are funny.
And as far as his twets about other men? IMO silly frat boy, even homophobic especially the sensitive Julian tweets, the OMG'ers just don't get it, they think they are shout outs!!!
This one is getting a lot of attention because of RG's rather prominent bulge in one shot of the clip.
RG's bulge could be interesting to young teenagers with limited access to Internet, no one else.

And Lainey. She went on about it, too, lol. But her mindset usually equals a young teenager so that's not surprising.
OK, young teenagers with limited access to Internet and sex deprived Ryan G fangirls :)
I think WFT2 is becoming the new Dave Cullen.
Austin posted that video because he was amazed by that Gosling package. Some tweet can say that Aus10 was doing the nasty with Sophia on the pool table and I still say Austin is Gay and with Jake.
No Jake and Heath never got it on. I do think there was an attraction but nothing happened. Let it go.
Austin posted that video because he was amazed by that Gosling package.
LOL, no need to INSULT Austin like that!
Are you high, 4:31 PM?
I think WFT2 is becoming the new Dave Cullen.
Explain.
LOL, no need to INSULT Austin like that!
LOL. IA :)
No Jake and Heath never got it on. I do think there was an attraction but nothing happened. Let it go.
Why are you bringing up Jake and Heath? No one was talking about them and no one implied they got it on. It seems YOU need to let it go.
Austin posted that video because he was amazed by that Gosling package.
Or he just likes the clip and is inspired by Ryan's and Michelle's acting, after all they are two of the best young actors in Hollywood. Or he is secretly shipping M & R, like many seem to do. ;)
There are many possibilities. ;)
No Jake and Heath never got it on. I do think there was an attraction but nothing happened. Let it go.
Huh? I think no one's gonna argue with you. I bet you, most agree with you. As do I.
PS: they showed their asses by bashing Heath, they hate him along with Chris, Adam, Peter, magie, his parents, Ramona, Matilda, etc...
Nah, I think they hate Heath as much as they hate Adam and Reese. These 3 are in a league of their own. Yikes. ;)
It's puzzling to me why a real Jake fan would hate Heath when Jake so obviously loved him?
I loved to see them together, they looked so happy together. And no, I don't think they were lovers.
is inspired by Ryan's and Michelle's acting, after all they are two of the best young actors in Hollywood.
This is exactly why he posted the link. Ryan is an actor's actor and well-respected, as is Michelle. Even Jake specifically said he wants to work with RG and with Michelle again.

You just answered your question.
Well DC basically banned the words Austin Nichols when it existed. Seems like that is now the message I am receiving Here.
Lets remember what happened to DC.
Just not sure if it is DC girls or the trolls trying to build a wall between WFT2 and OMG.
No one hates Heath or Chris but Austin is Jake's lover.
5:36 PM, this is JiG blog and that is very different from DC forum. Some people do hate Heath, we didn't make up those posts, you can read them too if you like.

Lets make it very clear no one hates Heath from OMG and if Heath were alive and Jake and him were lovers and not Jake and Austin it would be perfectly fine.
If Heath was still alive, all the shippers would look for tweets and sightings that indicate they spent time together. Would have been fun. Shame. :(
I love the story behind the pic where both teard up during Heath's speech.
Pic
You know what - at the moment I am more concerned about Jakes film career than whom he is fucking or not at the moment....
With LAOD obviously not impressing people and Duncan Jones not much interested in Source Code I am starting to worry a bit...
I just saw a list on IMDB created by the editors "Twenty to Watch in the Next 20 Years" a list of "twenty actors, actresses, writers and directors that we're excited to watch in the years to come."
The list includes people like Ryan and Michelle, J. Gordon-Levitt, Andrew Garfield or Jeremy Renner, to name a few.
Jake is nowhere to be seen...I remember the time after BBM when he was on everyones list...:-(
From what I have read the Bigelow film will be starting around January - will be interesting to see who will be part of the project..
is inspired by Ryan's and Michelle's acting, after all they are two of the best young actors in Hollywood.
LOL! That's why Austin posted the sex scene with Ryan's package, and not the trailer that is far more of a showcase for their acting.
And what is this, junior high school, where you think insulting posters is going to win arguments?
Jake should put more energy into his career and less into hiding who is and where he is.
With LAOD obviously not impressing people and Duncan Jones not much interested in Source Code I am starting to worry a bit...
Me too. I get he's not the "creme de la creme" of actors in Hollywood, but he's solid. You know, he just needs a good performance in a well received film. When's this gonna happen?
That's why Austin posted the sex scene with Ryan's package, and not the trailer that is far more of a showcase for their acting.
You are seriously saying that Austin posted a clip because Ryan's package is visible for whole 2,5 seconds????????????????????????????
Jake should put more energy into his career and less into hiding who is and where he is.
Jake is not hiding his whereabouts, he was all over New York for weeks.
I love the story behind the pic where both teard up during Heath's speech.
Well, they are performers. ;)
"No one is banning talk of Austin here, is just we don't squeal like pigs everytime he tweets and thinks that his shit doesn't stink."
This comment makes my day...:-))
Well, they are performers. ;)
Nah, that wasn't a show. ;)
That's why Austin posted the sex scene with Ryan's package, and not the trailer that is far more of a showcase for their acting.
Why would a sane adult post a clip from a movie, on his twitter, just because actor's "package" is visible?
Destiny, you are a dirty old woman looking for Ryan's package in that clip!!!
It's Ok, we understand, now run along back to OMG and spin why Austin is in NC with Sophia and Jake is in L.A.
destiny, why are you LOLing? Your theory about why Austin posted that BV link makes about as much sense as your theory that Jake himself was the one who planted the story that he was a pothead.
If Jausties were smart, they'd say that Austin admires the same actors his cutie bf does. But no, they post about a ridic bulge theory. *roles eyes*
I think they are dunzo, but still friends and seem to share a similar taste about what actors they like/admire.
Troll cant handle the fact that evidence that Jake is gay gets more obvious everyday. Lets see its been almost a year and still not a woman in sight. Keep telling us Jake and Austin are not in the same city. Yeah that will prove Jake is het.
Austin sang praises to 500 Days of Summer, BV is the same kind of indie hipster movie. It looks cool to like movies like these. You're reading way too much into his tweet. Franco went to see it, too. Big deal.
Franco went to see it, too. Big deal.
Really? How do you know? Another Gosling and/or Williams fan?
Actors don't have to be fans of other actors to check out their movies. They keep an eye on their peers who are also competition.
No one hates Heath or Chris but Austin is Jake's lover.
^^ LOL in your Dreams. that thing is over. Jake and Austin have moved on. Glad their still friends though
I guess that was the best romcom script he was offered.
:(
Every HW actor that wants to be seen as cool or hip is going to praise BV.
I agree. Expect Jake to praise it too since it's in a way his competition this fall/winter. I don't mean at the box office, awards and genre wise. ;)

Well one reviewer did say Michelle and Ryan show you how to act in BV. So, it's prolly good to check that thing out as a fellow actor to learn, learn, learn. ;)
^^ their = they're
Anon says.
You hate Heath because Jake talks about how much he admires him, you hate Chris because he is always hanging with Jake, hates Adam for what he sadi about jake and the fact that he hangs with him and you of course hate Peter, Maggie, his parents, Ramona, Matilda and prolly Michelle and Anne as well.
That is the most ridiculous comment that anyone has ever posted either on WFT2 or OMG. I adore Heath and wish he was still here. I know Jake and him would have eventually made another movie together. Well now that Jake is free from the chains of Disney that is.
By the way Ryan Gosling is not the prettiest man in the world but he sure is sexy.
I agree. Expect Jake to praise it too since it's in a way his competition this fall/winter. I don't mean at the box office, awards and genre wise. ;)
You mean he sees Ryan as competition? I remember when an interviewer asked Jake which role he would have loved to play, he said Ryan's in Half Nelson.
Maybe Jake admires him, but also sees him as competition?
I actually don't think Ryan is that much of a better actor than Jake, he just chooses his projects wiser.
re Heath hate. I don't see why Jaustin fans should hate him. They should actually love Heath for being straight, if he had been gay Jake would've left Austin so fast he would've chocked on his dust. ;)
Ryan is a better actor than Jake.
Jake wants to be a movie star, Ryan is an actor. Jake would run right back to Disney if the offer is right.
I don't see why Jaustin fans should hate him.
Because Jake's feelings for Heath = Austin is not the only one for Jake?
Jaustinites hate straight men and women hanging around Jake, that's why they would freak out even more if Heath was alive.
In their homophobic pea brains, gay men can't be friends with straight men, you see that would mean that the gay men couldn't fuck and suck 24/7, camp it up, gossip, wear womens clothes, swish and listen to Madonna forcing them to butch it up, wear lumberjack shirts, grow chia pets on their faces and OMG, try and be pussyhounds like Heath!!!
Trolly, be nice.
Ryan is a better actor than Jake.
Ryan always gives his best, Jake tends to be lazy at times. But when Jake's in good form they are equally good.
Now they're saying that gay men couldn't enjoy a het love story. Mass hysteria ensuing at the very thought. LOL
or appreciate a good het love story - it has to be because of a "bulge", which I didn't think was especially prominent - it's the entire scene that's good. I had to smile at the so-called "objective" review of LaOD over there. Like Mikey, they hate everything Jake does.
I think a lot of the hate for Heath could have been avoided if Jake hadn't taken so long to talk about him then used words like enamored, attraction (though I don't know the context). Does Jake realize how he sounds, even if he means it in a non-gay kind of way?
I wanted to add that even though Jake may feel competition with Ryan, he also admires him and I'm sure he is genuinely happy for Michelle's success. He even praised her during BBM, saying she did the best acting job in the movie. I think he was genuine when he said that he wanted to work with them.
Out of curiosity I checked OMG and now SK is questioning when Jake actually arrived in L.A. just because JJ who is known to get dates and other things wrong said that he arrived at LAX today, I kid you not.
They are also suspcious of his lack of luggage, I guess they never heard of overhead bags and that he probably has other luggage, someone even suggested that the nanny has his luggage, I hope she was kidding.
Also one is still bitching about the sighting of Jake and that girl at the ballet and is excited that she isn't at LAX with Jake!!
They all have to be in their 40 and 50s and they wonder why they are made fun of or that only they and their sock puppets post there.
They don't like LAOD because Jake is fucking a women on screen
7:39 PM, you are completely obsessed with OMG. LOL
Does Jake realize how he sounds, even if he means it in a non-gay kind of way?
So what, he's just being truthful IMO.
Even if Jake wasn't gay, the attraction was probably inevitable. Both guys were young, pretty, got along very well, became friends and on top had very tender love scenes with each other. It happens, especially when you are very open or even bi-curious as an actor.
^^It's so strange - the poor guy is an actor, it makes no difference the roles he plays onscreen. In fact, if Jake is gay, it's wonderful that a gay actor can play any kind of role. But some don't see it that way. I don't know what the missing luggage means. *shrugs*
So what, he's just being truthful IMO.
I don't know about the New Yorker festival but in the GQ interview Jake wasn't asked how he felt about Heath. IMO he should use his words more carefully.
IMO he should use his words more carefully.
I disagree. I see no problems with his words.
IMO he should use his words more carefully.
IMO he should choose his words more carefully.
IMO he should choose his words more carefully.
You are pissed because you don't like to hear what Jake has to say about Heath.

Hopefully everyone here realizes that this is probably someone that hates OMG and WFT2. The guy is a nut case.
8:11 PM - Duh, that's our trolly! He likes to use "sock puppets", makes a lot of typos and loves insulting people :)
You are pissed because you don't like to hear what Jake has to say about Heath.
Do I sound pissed off to you? Because I'm not, I just don't think people need to know his business. Like I said, maybe Jake doesn't realize it, if I were his PR I'd try to point it out to him unless it's intentional.
8:19 PM, Jake was very careful. What is wrong with those few sentences Jake said about Heath, how on Earth that could be too much?
I just don't think people need to know his business. Like I said, maybe Jake doesn't realize it,
Jake has years of experience giving interviews, he's not a neophyte. And it's up to Jake to decide what is his business and what he wants to share.
"He" likes to insult people? Ah he's but one of many. OMG has a few good souls left, but a few are completely insufferable over there. :)
For someone who does not agree with what those on OMG have to say he sure spends a lot of time hanging on their every word.
How come you don't know about / recognize our trolly?
At last count, there were at least four trolls, not including the regulars. It's really rather entertaining. :)
Trolls=OMG posters
What is wrong with those few sentences Jake said about Heath, how on Earth that could be too much?
Because it's something private about someone he famously played gay with onscreen. Fortunately for Jake those quotes didn't reach mainstream media. Imagine if someone like DSF read them and one day would go up to him and mock him. For as long as Jake lives he will have to put with BBM jokes, does he need Heath jokes too?
Since when is love a private thing, something people shouldn't talk about and something normal people use to make jokes?
Imagine if someone like DSF read them and one day would go up to him and mock him.
There could be nothing worse than letting idiots like DSF influence your actions.
Since when is love a private thing, something people shouldn't talk about and something normal people use to make jokes?
The world is full of crazy people, it's a fact of life. I don't know what kind of love you mean. In general, brotherly love is not a private thing while romantic love in messy situations should be IMO.
Jake didn't give any details, we know that he loved Heath but that's it, can't see how that could be wrong.
I love Heath and don't mind the talk about him, but it really amuses me how one of our trollys loves to carry on about Heath whenever the subject of Austin comes up.
Trolly is the only one carrying on about how Jaustinites are threatened by Heath, with nary a word from a Jaustinite on the subject of Heath.
You need a need a new line, this one was old months ago.
Fortunately for Jake those quotes didn't reach mainstream media
What do you mean by "mainstream media"? Besides, there was nothing wrong with what he said and anyone who edits themselves because they fear some idiot might mock them is pretty pathetic. To give in to that kind of fear would be a terrible mistake.
There could be nothing worse than letting idiots like DSF influence your actions.
ITA.
I couldn't tell it was RyanGosling on that BV video. Is his face beaten up or what?
The movie seem like a hipster boring,pretentious crap but I read somewhere that the director worked on this film for about 12 years!!!!! Wow, that's dedication and love for a project.I hope this movie do well in cinemas, just because it looks like everyone in it put their hearts on it.
I think I missed something. I’m confused. Are people all worked up about quotes from months ago or are there new ones?
I think Duncan may be tired of Source Code because it is more Hollywood than Moon so he has more people-studio people on his case. It is a bigger budget therefore more pressure. Some people here look for every negative they can.
Forget Heath or Austin or even Reese hate. I think there are a lot of Jake hate here.
Reese hate????? Reese Cheap Publicity Whore Witherspoon deserves anyone's respect? LMAO!
Trolly is the only one carrying on about how Jaustinites are threatened by Heath, with nary a word from a Jaustinite on the subject of Heath.
I don't know who are people threatened by Heath, can't read anyone's mind, but they do exist and they post here.
Out of curiosity I checked OMG and now SK is questioning when Jake actually arrived in L.A.
Maggie and Peter went to London after India (filming) + Naomi took Ramona to UK = Jake had no reason to stay in NYC. And he had even less reason to fake his arrival to LA:
@ArushiFabBlab NO idea why Maggie & Peter (I'm referring to them like they're my friends) are in Mumbai. But they're @ the same hotel as me!

How come Stephen doesn't follow Austin back on Twitter?
Why would Stephen follow Jake's ex-boyfriend's twitter?
1:24 AM - please define "Austin hate". Not liking his tweets? Not believing Ted that Austin is still with Jake? Something else?
Why would Stephen follow Jake's ex-boyfriend's twitter?
Because Austin follows him and they know each other?
5:59 AM - do you use Twitter?
Stephen obviously doesn't care enough about Austin to be interested in his tweets and doesn't want to follow him proforma, just to return the "favor" - no one wants junk tweets in the Timeline.
I think I missed something. I’m confused. Are people all worked up about quotes from months ago or are there new ones?
They were talking about GQ quote from a few months ago and New Yorker Festival from a couple of weeks ago but we don't have Jake's full quote from that.
5:59 AM - do you use Twitter?
I don't.
I use twitter to chat with people I have something in common with and to exchange info with people and organizations I care about, so I choose carefully who I follow, I really don't care about someone's dinner, taste in music or tactics to promote himself/herself.
6:51 AM, I understand what you're saying. I was just wondering because Stephen follows over 200 people, that's all. What's one more especially when he knows him? Anyway.
Stephen knows Austin, but it's not like he hangs out with him.
Who gives a shit about twitter and who follows who.
People, especially ise it to pimp themselves and get attention, who cares?
Like all those tweets Austin did abiut the Brazilian soccer players, the pilot, the "banter" with A. Levine and his stupid Julien tweets were and are done for attention because he knows all about the internet rumors. SK has proff that he was and has lurked on OMG when he first started filming OTH, she has a ISP address from a hotel in NC where she said he was staying at in the beginning.
So yeah he is pulling the fringe fan chain and yet she thinks he's giving shout outs, LOL!!!!
And she/they ignore his other tweets for obvious reasons.
He rarely tweets about real issues anymore, no wonder Stephen doesn't follow him!
Who gives a shit about twitter and who follows who.
Twitter following is just another piece of information. Austin follows Stephen because he wants to show his own celebrity status. Stephen doesn't follow Austin because they aren't friends, aren't family and didn't work together.
Stephen follows some Jake fans he probably doesn't know but not Jake's friend. A little strange. I agree that he likely doesn't care enough about him. Stephen is lucky he doesn't have to read Austin's nonsense.
Stephen is lucky he doesn't have to read Austin's nonsense.
Does Jake read Austin's tweets? Is he embarrassed for him?
Trolly, what fanfic about Stephen's twitter is that?
Austin follows Stephen, Stephen doesn't follow Austin back. We can draw some conclusions, we don't need fanfic.
Stephen is not interested in hearing about Austin's obsession with Gosling's bulging bulge
LOL
Stephen doesn't follow Austin because they aren't friends, aren't family and didn't work together.
Exactly. Let's see how BT believers who think Jake and Austin are in a committed relationship will try to spin it.

Maybe Stephen needs a bigger bulge to be impressed :)
I love how the Jaustinites think everything Austin tweets about is so profound - like Chance the Gardener, when a lot of it is truly nonsense. I wonder if Jake could truly stand listening to it. No wonder they are on separate coasts most of the time. Also Tom giving the trolls a pep talk about looking like a fool was priceless.
I think some just come to be entertained by the theories, each more outrageous than the previous one. Austin could tweet that everyone is an FA and they'd still find a way to turn it into something positive. Any woman within a 50 mile radius of Jake, even Anne, causes a furor, they had to spin some kind of off with her head photoshop scheme, any man other than Austin, raising children in absentia, it's all very entertaining.
Come on, Jaustinites have no option but to "like" Austin and his tweets, just like babblers "like" Jake's beards.
^^So true, all very entertaining. Fanfic/slash at its best. Jackie why delete my comment, I suppose truth hurts, whereas fanfic makes you all feel SO much better.
Jaustinites have no option but to "like" Austin and his tweets
They like his tweets when it matches up with their fantasies (eg Austin tweeting about Leadville), but they are quick to slam him whenever there is a hint of vag in the tweet, especially Sophia's.
They lambast poor Sophia over there - now I don't know if it's a real relationship or a HW one, but come on.
Jackie why delete my comment, I suppose truth hurts, whereas fanfic makes you all feel SO much better.
Your trolling has nothing to do with the truth.
SK confessed to being a "beard" for a friend many years ago. I find her attitude towards Sophia a bit strange. She obv thinks Austin and Sophia are in a fauxmance, and hence Sophia is a beard. Strange that SK seems to despise Sophia the beard when SK was one herself.
Again, they can't blame Austin for promoting the fauxmance.
"EW" reviews Portia de Rossi's "Unbearable Lightness"
Release Date:Nov 02, 2010;
Writer:Portia de Rossi;
Genres:Memoir, Nonfiction;
Publisher:Atria
Portia de Rossi — now known in private life by her married name, Portia Lee James DeGeneres — knew she wanted to be famous back when she was an Australian teen named Amanda Lee Rogers. Lucky L.A. hopeful, her dream came true. On TV, de Rossi is especially famous for her roles on Ally McBeal and Arrested Development, and just regular-famous for her parts on Nip/Tuck and Better Off Ted. And on the red carpet, she is most recently famous for her marriage to Ellen DeGeneres. We've seen "Porshe" — as her family calls her — look blond and blonder, and have admired her sparkle; we've also seen her look thin and thinner, and we've wondered about her health in a business that fetishizes feminine coltishness.
Unbearable Lightness, de Rossi's memoir of a lifetime of starving and bingeing and purging (as well as part of a lifetime hiding her sexuality), is at times so wrenching that it's difficult to imagine how the author, now 37, has kept her misery hidden for so long. ''Since I was a twelve-year-old girl taking pictures in my front yard to submit to modeling agencies, I'd never known a day when my weight wasn't the determining factor for my self-esteem,'' she writes with weary honesty. At her most perilously anorexic, the publicly glamorous TV star weighed 82 pounds. Ten months later, in the depths of bulimic bingeing, she had doubled in size. As an autobiographer she reports this with a vivid eye for detail, particularly about foods devoured, foods refused, and the ways a woman can hide her self-destruction, particularly when posing under the searchlights of fame.
The blunt, pity-free matter-of-factness with which de Rossi shares secrets and lies about her eating disorders and her sexuality makes this forthright confessional story at once shocking and instructional, especially for younger women who may be secretly suffering on their own. B+
Anne Hathaway Vogues For Fall Romance
Anne Hathaway glams up the November 2010 issue of Vogue, on stands November 26th.
The 27-year-old actress jokes about her former boyfriend Raffaello Follieri being a con artist.
Asked to name her “deal-breakers” when it comes to men, Anne responded and laughed, “Uh … fraud?”
The experience taught her to be “more wary,” she added. “It takes a minute for me to let my guard down, but once I do and I get to know someone, I’m very open, very trusting. Some might say too trusting.”
Asked to name her “deal-breakers” when it comes to men, Anne responded and laughed, “Uh … fraud?”
LOL!
LOL!!!

LOL. But her new boy is a thief as well, he stole a picture(which he brought back when the owner threatened to contact police).
She's a sweet gal. Pity the buzz for her performance in L&OD weakens more and more.
Unbearable Lightness, de Rossi's memoir of a lifetime of starving and bingeing and purging (as well as part of a lifetime hiding her sexuality), is at times so wrenching that it's difficult to imagine how the author, now 37, has kept her misery hidden for so long.
Ouch!
They lambast poor Sophia over there - now I don't know if it's a real relationship or a HW one, but come on.
So tell me why it's okay to lambast poor Reese, but not Sophia?
Reese is a nasty bitch, it is always OK to trash her.

BlindGossip – A certain female television star was thisclose to coming out last week. She was quite distraught over the recent reports of gay students taking their lives and saw it as a great opportunity to set a good example for others. After discussions with her agent and manager, however, she canceled her meeting with a public relations expert. She is the star of a television show, and they convinced her that if she came out as a lesbian, she was risking not only her career, but those of all the entire cast and crew of the show as well.

she was risking not only her career, but those of all the entire cast and crew of the show as well.
I can see how agents and managers would use this as a guilt trip to keep actors from coming out, but NPH came out and it doesn't seem to have hurt his show at all, so obviously it didn't hurt the crew or the other cast members either.
NPH was pushed out by Perez:
OUT: You don’t regret that you didn’t get out ahead of Perez Hilton forcing your hand in your coming-out process?
NPH: Hmm. I’m just glad it wasn’t based on scandal. I didn’t want there to be some “we got footage” story where I have to make some sort of statement about some event that happened.
^^I'm aware of that, 1:14PM. But it doesn't change the fact that his coming out didn't hurt his show, the crew, or his fellow cast members.

But it doesn't change the fact that his coming out didn't hurt his show, the crew, or his fellow cast members.
Doesn't change the fact that 4 years after NPH coming out Matt Bomer used that argument for staying in the closet.
WDW update
^^
Reuniting five years after Brokeback Mountain, they further develop what Gyllenhaal calls “the intimacies and complexities between Annie and me, because we have what’s starting to be a long history together, professionally and as friends.”'
Doesn't change the fact that 4 years after NPH coming out Matt Bomer used that argument for staying in the closet.
All I said was that NPH's coming out, no matter how it happened, didn't hurt his show. I don't get why you're trying to turn this into some kind of argument.
Interview excerpt with Anne:
When Anne Hathaway reunites with her Brokeback Mountain costar Jake Gyllenhaal for Love & Other Drugs (in theaters November 24), the actress hopes audiences aren't scared away by the film's raunchy sex scenes.

"This movie certainly has a lot of nerve," Hathaway, 27, tells the November issue of Vogue.
In the film, Hathaway plays a free-spirit named Maggie who hooks up with a Viagra salesman named Jamie (Gyllenhaal) -- roles that required both actors to strip for the cameras.
PHOTOS: Caught! See Anne and other celebs getting touchy-feely
"These are people who have no trouble taking their clothes off -- in a way, their bodies are their currency," she explains. "But they're terrified of exposing their vulnerability, of becoming emotionally naked."
But Hathaway admits that unlike her character, she didn't feel nearly as comfortable exposing herself emotionally and sexually.
PHOTOS: Stylish star makeovers!
"I was a wreck from start to finish. I think I cried every single day," she says. "I had to lean so much more heavily on everyone around me than I'm used to. I’m used to pulling my own weight. But I totally fell apart."
But fortunately for the actress, she had a new man in her life to help her pick up the pieces: actor Adam Shulman.

"We hit it off immediately, but it took us a pretty long time to get together," Hathaway recalls. After they realized they were both single, the actress reveals that "thing sped up a bit -- and I think I'll leave it at that."

2:47 PM, do you have a problem with stating simple facts? Complain to Matt Bomer, not me :)
Happily Ever After: Anne Hathaway
I can understand not coming out when a show is brand new; but once it is well-established I can't imagine it would hurt a show, unless it's something that only appeals to closed-minded bigots.
In the case of Bomer, who knows, but the show was new, and maybe he made an agreement with USA to not to talk about his private life. Then there's the fact that the network is one of Simon's clients, which might also stir up some unwanted attention.
"I was a wreck from start to finish. I think I cried every single day," she says.
Damn merkins!
Vogue interview excerpt:
As Gyllenhaal teasingly observes, “She was the girl who, in high school, probably ran up to the bulletin board, pushing the other girls out of the way, to be the first one to look at the casting list.” Hathaway might not have been the ruthless teen diva played by Lea Michele on Glee, but she admits that in her younger days she could sometimes be a little “myopic” in pursuit of her passion. “I was afraid to let anything in that might distract me,” she recalls, “because I had so much riding on it.”
Question answered, Annie is still dating Shulman. So, probably no annoying Jake/Anne wishful thinking rumors. ;)
Twitter is full of "Anne H. fell apart doing sex scenes with Jake G."
What's wrong with these actresses? First Michelle W. says she had to scream after sex scenes with Gosling. Now this. They made out with HOT guys and got paid for it. Jeez! It couldn't have been THAT bad.
Anne H. fell apart doing sex scenes with Jake G.
Jake must have a huge schlong to split Anne in half!!
They don't make out with hot guys, they are pretending to make out with people they don't want to make out with.
One is gay, the other has a face you want to paper bag. I would scream/cry, too ;)
Punch drunk critics:
Love & Other Drugs stars Jake Gyllenhall and Anne Hathaway and is directed by the amazing Edward Zwick (The Last Samurai, Blood Diamond, Legends of the Fall). A story about a philandering pharmaceutical rep who meets his match in a woman not at all interested in getting close to anyone. Set against the backdrop of the massive launch of Viagra and featuring a wonderful supporting cast this is not your average everyday romantic-comedy. I'll be honest and say that this is one of my favorite films of the year so far. The movie presents a real world look at a couple brought together no matter how much they try to fight it. Genuinely funny, tragically romantic, and unflinchingly erotic, Love & Other Drugs delivers on more fronts than any other movie of it's kind. Add to that an Oscar worthy performance by Anne Hathaway and you've got something that should not be missed. The film hits theaters November 24th so mark your calendars and don't miss out!

Honestly? I think both ladies exaggerated.
Both ladies aren't silly teenagers.

Wow!

“I tried not to like the script as much as I did, because it scared me,” Hathaway says. “What if it becomes a melodrama? What if the audience doesn’t find these challenging characters charming? There were so many things that could possibly go wrong with it.”
But Hathaway doesn’t need an excuse, much less a stage, to break into song. During the days we spend together, she sings all over the place—at the photo shoot, on the train, at a bar, on Leicester Square. A partial list would include “Moon River,” “Get Happy,” “I Enjoy Being a Girl,” “Proud Mary,” and the theme song from The Jeffersons.
As Gyllenhaal teasingly observes, “She was the girl who, in high school, probably ran up to the bulletin board, pushing the other girls out of the way, to be the first one to look at the casting list.
I know it was meant jokingly by Jake. But I don't see her like that as a teen.
Oh, did you know her as a teen?
Yes!
New pics at IHJ "Elle's 17th Women in HW". He doesn't look content much less happy. Is it only me who sees it like that? I wouldn't think it'd be jet lag since he's in CA and have 3 extra hours. He looks sad or something. Even though going thru tough times like breakups, elder and pet deaths and career disappointments, and being sad is not a bouquet of roses, I'd rather it be that reason he looks under the weather than drug usage or a substance problem or a serious depression or illness.
Well, Jake doesn't look like someone who's having fun.
Unhappy Jake

LOL 6:33 I suppose you're the poster who insists Jake is straight/bi (90%st8/10%gay) and Reeke was real.
This time, I don't agree that he looks unhappy. He looks fine (imo).
I don't agree that he looks unhappy.
Don't use no double negatives.

You are BAD :)
2:47 PM, do you have a problem with stating simple facts? Complain to Matt Bomer, not me :)
Huh? I don't have a problem with anyone stating simple facts. I was the one who stated the simple fact that NPH's show didn't appear to be hurt - and you were the one who seemed to have a problem with that, lol. Not everything has to become an argument, you know.
If those emotionally/phiscially naked scenes with Jake were so difficult for Anne, Jake better not make so much "merkin jokes" and keep it rather serious, in order to not be offensive.
^^many "merkin" jokes
I remember when Anne used to repeat in almost every interview how Jake asked her to touch her boobs in the BBM car scene. Then went on to say how James McAvoy, right from the start said, no tounge and open mouth during kissing and that was how she actually likes it.
Did you know that Gwyneth Paltrow cried during love scenes with Jake too?
Jake, WTH are you doing to these women? J/K. ;)
