Love and Obstacles

Cynthia Nixon and family

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.”

I happen to think Jake is a in the closet bisexual, so I don't think it would be a problem dating a young pretty girl on occassions. But I would think he would not want to deal with another celeb.

Same.

But what I don't get is how does it get them good publicity for each other?

Taylor's fanbase is tweens and teens right? They don't care about Jake, they are all hot for the Twilight boys.


Jake's fanbase? Taylor Swift wouldn't be the most played artist on their Ipod.

So what's the deal? Jake going through a crisis about turning 30? lol?

a poster commented a few days ago about the Jake/gayfans will be here screaming Jake is gay for decades. Every women he's seen with will be considered a beard. Even if he gets married and have a number of children, "which I think he will within 4 years" the die hard JakeIsGay fans will still be at it. If Jake is around 30 years from now, JIG fans will still be talking about Ted, bearding, and Jake being gay when he has grandchildren.
Somehow I find this to be extreme and desparate. We all know that their is a strong possibilty of him being gay and in the closet, but the same exist for him having an interest in women and, both sexes.
But just as with most women who deal with both sexes, or have a passing fancy or should I say, go thru an experimental stage, they seem to choose to the opposite sex for long term basis.

Some fans seem threatened that he may be other than gay. I say so what.

No way Jake is gay now or should i say come out now. This is his second America's sweetheart to date and yes there are pics of Taylor and jake in NYC.

Jake either plans on never coming out because he has backed himself into a corner by dating the virginal sweetheart after the maternal sweetheart. Or you are just going to have to live with Jake is truly gay.

I noticed Ted C's board is dead, I bet he never saw this one coming. Maybe he dropped dead.

Jake is straight but has really bad tasted in women.

I wouldn't have minded Jake's relationship with Reese either, the (3 years only) "older" woman a) if had been true, b) the showmance rumors, and c) the fact that it always appeared she had him around by a leash, and the tabloids had that "yes dear, no dear, whatever-you-say-dear" image. Jake as sophisticated and sexy (slightly) older guy is much nicer.

Not gonna touch that. I don't know what was going on there. All I know is that it's over now and has been for some time.

We see what we want to see.

Besides, I don't think every HW couple hookup is to hide one of them man/woman from gay rumors only. You're free to believe it.

Yes, HW is based on alot of smoke and screens and bs, but I do think most of these Celebs have a heart and are not as munipulated as the in the know fans think.

Some posters/fans keep the J/A basketball picture as the enduring shrine of a lovefest. I did not see it that way.

It's really depends on how much a fan indulges themselves into a celebs life. Most average people could careless about celebs. But we all love bullshit gossip. LOL

Ted said...

Are Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal Really a Duo?

Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal are cozying up, and some overly eager types are already calling them a couple.

We're sayin': Not so fast. All this went down in the Big Apple over the weekend, for all eyes to so easily see: The age-defying twosome (Jake is nine years Tay's senior), was spotted slightly flirting on Saturday backstage at a Saturday Night Live taping, which was hosted by Swift's BFF Emma Stone. Sunday's schedule called for a stroll through Brooklyn's Park Slope area, holding hands and sharing starry-eyed gazes, Life & Style reports.

So is this some legit hand-holding or just a setup stroll for all you shutterbugs? Definitely not your classic case of the love bug.

I mean, Tay is pretty famous for dating for the moment, not the long term. (Taylor Lautner, anyone?) The emosh songbird is hand-in-hand with yummy hunks—and it seems she's never holding on too tight. Or is she?

Jake and Taylor walked into Al Di La restaurant in Brooklyn on Sunday for an early lunch date with Emma, and they sat side-by-side the whole time.

Tay, who was sportin' some heavy makeup and looking rather stiff and uncomfortable in the Brooklyn hot spot, managed to throw in a few smiles and laughs. Jake played the cool, older guy as he chatted with the waiters and couldn't stop smiling. Plus, our sources say he was looking super hot and proud of himself in his classic V-neck and sleek aviators.

But it's hard to believe the duo is deliriously in lust, love or even like. Seems more like a PR dream stunt with a hint of jealousy thrown in, if you ask us! Especially since last week Jake's ex, Reese Witherspoon, was rumored to be tying the knot with her agent Jim Toth. Maybe he didn't get the memo that it was just that—a rumor?

Either way, Jake's spending some time with this younger female and he seems to be diggin' it. We're just wondering if the lovey-dovey action is mutual. We all know Swifty has a checklist when it comes to her crushes—hot, more mature men with love-song potential. Smart girl, eh? Indeed, the singer released a song rumored to be about her previous, much older bad-boy BF John Mayer, who was also spotted in NYC this weekend sans any hand-holding.

Jake's rep would not comment, which is kinda odd. Usually, they've got something to say.

Utter silence might just might mean this one ain't totally off-base. Let's all stay tuned.

I don’t think he has to really “like” the woman, he likes the look. I bet he likes them a little bossy.

I bet he is open to both sexes so he doesn’t see himself as gay.

I wonder if the ohno gossip is true and he was going to come out as bi (in people).

I wonder if the ohno gossip is true and he was going to come out as bi (in people).

Yeah, I believe he was going to do that at one time. He was setting himself up for it with some of the stuff he said himself about how he "wouldn't mind being thought of as bi", blah, blah. But someone or probably a lot of someones convinced him that would be a bad career move.

When? Jake was "dating" Dunst during 2005, Reeke was agreed in 2006. Jake planned to come out as bi while "dating" a woman?

Here's some YouTube sweetness from a young man to his deaf boyfriend, complete with captioning, though it's likely most of you would probably watch the clip even without the translation. There's so much hate in the news these days, it's nice to include a little bit of love.

He didn't go immediately from Dunst to Reeke.

Reeke was arranged a year or less after Dunst. So Jake planned to come out as bi in 2006?

Bitch Back!

Bitch-Back! Will T.Swift Sing About Her New Dude?

Today 5:28 AM PDT by Ted Casablanca

Dear Ted:
Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal? What? PS I can't believe you buzzed your hair off. It's cute.
—Ames

Dear Caught a Swifty Drift:
We can't believe this fresh-off-the-press duo, either! While the two definitely got cozy in the Big Apple last weekend, we can't confirm that it is love at first sight. Jake is totally Tay's type, what with him being older and loving blondes. But for now, I guess we will just keep our eyes and ears peeled, especially since she may be writing up the romance sooner than later. And thanks for the buzz-cut buttering up. I like it, too!


Dear Ted:
We know T-town has lots of vices and problems...Who would you say is the most adjusted of the superstars, the happiest?
—WallaceWorld

Dear Happier Played Than Done:
Can't say anyone's über-happy out there unless you count Brangelina's Euro excursions with the kiddos. The rest are so PR they make me want to get puuuked.


Dear Ted:
Say someone signs a confidentiality agreement, what's to keep them from going to a tabloid and saying I can give you X's dirty laundry for a larger amount of money than the confidentiality agreement is slated to pay off?
—SmylesRiley

Dear Thoughtful:
No one's dirty laundry is off limits, especially if the pay-off will leave them well off. Sad, but true!


Dear Ted:
I've got a sneaking suspicion that Dashed Dingle-Dream's beard and Grey Goose's beard are on friendly terms with each other. Am I right?
—Radha

Dear Not Even Close:
Dash's beard likes to keep it under wraps. You won't see this cover getting loose with any famous gooses, even if it's just friendly.

LAOD review:

Hollywood Rep

Anonymous said...

^^^
Gyllenhaal and Hathaway are terrific as two sarcastic, sexually hungry young people eager to hop into bed, or go up against the nearest wall for a knee-trembler. Sappy romance doesn't suit either of their characters so something goes a little limp when they acknowledge their love. Where a Viagra salesman when you need him?

The artist's loft, coffee house, restaurants, late night cafes, medical offices and a sleek suburban home to a "pajama party" where the film takes place are all eye grabbers and Steven Fierberg's cinematography does justice to these visually arresting locations. Much is going on in nearly every scene. Even a running gag about a homeless man who digs drug samples out of a dumpster where Jamie throws his rival's products is damn funny.

In the end, this is a smart movie that could have been smarter. The script feels like it was a draft or so away from total clarity and focus. But the energy of the cast and a dive into an unfamiliar world make the movie rather addictive.

You and others will be extremely dissapointed when Jake gets married to a woman and has kids. Sooner or later it's gonna happen. Some people are a tad too obsessed about this and way too invested.

There are many admirably honest actors and singers who had the guts to come out and I hope sports wo/men and politicians (people in the public eye) will be braver too. We should congratulate them, instead of desperately hoping that a Hollywood hottie like Jake G. is gay. I think he and Heath Ledger contributed a lot to how gay/bi people are perceived in their beautiful portrayal in the movie.
From various accounts people stated it opened their eyes. Even if it changed just a few peoples' minds, it's still an achievement.
And it is prove that Jake is gay friendly, it's a pity that whackos like Casablanca do nothing to help the cause, instead talk just bullshit.

The fist Toothy BI came out before BBM came out, but the movie was already filmed and Ted knew about it. It may be true that he saw Jake and Austin hand holding, or he saw what he wanted to see and there was more fiction than truth to it. Only Ted knows.

Nah, we will just be sorry for him, lots of gay men choose money and career over being out.

Jake's bearding is not gay friendly, that is homophobic.

You've answered your own question. There's almost a year where he wasn't officially involved with anyone. Of course, I don't KNOW that he was planning on coming out as bi, I never said that, but some of the stuff he said sounded to me like he was thinking about it. That's all I'm saying.

Yes, only Ted knows about that, but we all know about Jake's showmance with Reese Witherspoon, no one can undo that fakery.

In your opinion fakery.

10:08, give it up already. How many times are you going to give us the same old line about Jake getting married and everyone being "disappointed", and feeding everyone the same old bullshit that Brokeback is the reason for the gay rumors. Everyone's heard it before a million times. Stop hanging out here and banging your head against a wall if you find it so distasteful, and go complain to Ted directly if you're so pissed off at him.

10:19 AM - Yes, in my opinion based on 1.000 proofs. I know that you don't believe Reeke was real either, you don't believe it for a second.

I didn't like Reeke. I think both overdid it with famwhoring. But I think they were, well real. That said, I'm glad it's over.

10:22 AM - yes, I said it before, but I'm not the only one repeating myself. I used to be interested in that particular BV, that's the time when I started to become a fan of Jake's and everything about him was interesting to me. But now I think Ted is just a pathetic wishful thinker.

Elton John did that - lied about being bi.

Michael Stipe too.

These are 2 of millions of men in the world. Besides these two are celebritys also.

Everytime a poster uses a now gay male celebrity who used to say he was straight or bi, it makes the poster seem ignorant to the fact that these celebrity males do not reflect the men of the world who live double lives. Either Openly bisexual to everyonoe or important people in their lives or the (in the closet "bisexual" men) of the world. And then there is the lying gay man who says he is straight or bi.

I guess these posters only believe the later, that men can only be gay or straight and nothing else. They are wrong.

I'm the right person to call you that - I've followed Reeke from the pathetic start to the even more pathetic end, and I know that a lot of people, who aren't fans, could see how fake that PR charade was :)

What that has to do with anything? No one reflects other people, every person is an individual.

^^ I agree.

If you thought that it was a showmance, ok, that's your opinion. That's good. But everyone don't have to follow that attitude.

I have always have thought that Jake likes men and women. It's my thoughts. So I can't say two people would go around for 3 years or more just for photo ops. I don't believe it. Sure they both would both benefited from it.
I don't know if Jake was really into her, but I think they genuinely liked and cared for each other during their time together.
I do think they were sexual.

Now this comment ^ will bring out all of the PRO Gay and Pro Jake is Gay posters railing against my opinion. As if they know for facts what's going on in someone else's life let alone their own.
I also don't think the bad PR people are just out there to silence the few blogs that say Jake is gay. I don't believe this. Besides, what's wrong with him dating or having sex with a woman every now and then?
Why does this hurt some so badly here?

So much venom towards an actually nice guy, based on words from an internet gossip columnist.
This small, very vocal group of TB and TC believers who used to spread their agenda all over net when he was dating Witherspoon, are the same ones waiting in the woodworks to come out immediately after Jake starts "bearding" again. That's gonna happen with every female Jake's going to go out with.

Nothing's for certain yet, although there have been no denials, which is interesting. Spending the weekend together is more that dating, I think. But we'll see what happens.

I'm sorry, What it sounds like is that you have a motive for the relationshop to be called a showmance. Maybe you were following them (too) closely.
Just maybe (YOU) want it to be.
Have you given this any thought, YET?

In this case: spending the weekend = hanging out together for a few hours = nothing worth mentioning.

ONTD, JJ, JJB etc. are all blogs were the opinions about Reeke were divided. I'm not talking about the two extremes: babblers or TBers. Those were mostly people who were not obsessed with them.

Common sense? Dude!
You obviously want him desperately to be gay like babblers desperately want him to be straight. Jake has the weirdest fans who have problems to accept that there's something between gay or straight. It's either or.

Jake seems like the settling down type to me. He does have a very polarized fandom, it's true. Katy Perry and Russell Brand are ten years apart in age, Jay-Z and Beyonce, the list goes on and on.

Calbe news channel MSNBC just talked about this rumor.

The host asked 3 people about the TS / JG rumor and the African American male guest said I don't know if it's true but he does know that there are alot of gay men out there who are very upset. LMaO
Everyone fell out laughing and the host had a look on her face as if "I don't believe you just said that". He also said Yes the host was old fashion in her thinking that a 29 year old male may be too old for her (TS). He also said Jake was easy on the eye. TS =20 or 21, Jake 29. What's the hell wrong with that?

I'm not a teen or some love struck fan. I know about PR tactics.
I know enough to know that they have better things to do than try and counter the JIG blogs relentless attacks on the internet and the shallow JIG fans who want acceptance for all but scream that Jake is gay and nothing other continuously around the internet.

LOL, but you still can't answer the question about why you can't stop yourself from hanging out here and lecturing people. I don't know if you've forgotten what blog you're on or if it just makes you feel good about yourself to preach to people :) Like I said before, if you've got a problem with Ted, take it to his site. Maybe he'll care more about what you have to say :)

As if this guy knows whether Jake is gay or not. Please. It is because of BBM.

When Heath and Michelle broke up they made fun of them on a tv news show alluding he broke up with her because of Jake. BBM jokes. Heath got a chunck of them too.
