Ricky Martin, "Me" book signing, November 2010There is something beautiful in witnessing a major celebrity in the throes of profound and real transformation. A week before we meet, Ricky Martin had made a surprise appearance at the annual Human Rights Campaign national dinner to pledge his support. “Something as simple as standing at that dinner and saying, ‘I’m gay,’ creates so may emotions I’ve never felt before,” he admits. “I didn’t do it earlier because of fear, and, bottom line, it was all in my head. I was seduced by fear, and I was sabotaging most of my life -- my music, my relationships with my friends, with my family, with everybody. That’s something I need to share because I know that a lot of people are going through what I went through, no matter what their age, and fear cannot control us.”
Ricky Martin is about to share big time -- with his new memoir, Me, a remarkably heartfelt account of his journey from teen group Menudo to fatherhood, delivered in a frank, conversational style that doesn’t economize on the truth. It includes accounts of his first passionate affairs -- with men and with women -- as well as his struggle to reconcile his conflicted yearnings with his rapid ascent in America. The pivotal year is 1999, at which Martin performed his World Cup anthem, “La Copa de la Vida,” at the Grammys. Largely unknown in the United States beyond Hispanic audiences, he left the stage as a breathless Rosie O’Donnell (the evening’s host) exclaimed, “Who was that cutie patootie?”
It was connecting the dots that led directly to Martin’s tweet last March. In his memoir, he recounts how friends and colleagues remonstrated with him to hold off: “I ignored all their recommendations, and by the end, when they came to me with the argument that I shouldn’t do it during Easter because it might offend my Christian fans, I said: ‘What part of ‘I can’t take it any more’ do you not understand? What about me?’”
Above all, he says he worried about Matteo and Valentino having to answer for their father’s untruths. How would they respond as they grew older? Would they have to lie on his behalf? “How could I teach my kids to lie?” he asks. “How could I teach them not to be themselves?” And, as simple as that, he realized he couldn’t and wouldn’t. “My children will grow up with no prejudice,” he says. “As parents, we need to create a new way of thinking for our kids, in which we accept, and we love, and we can vibe with everybody.”

«Oldest ‹Older 1201 – 1400 of 1867 Newer› Newest»What's funny is that he is still loved by the gay community and WFT2, whereas Jake is getting dissed continously.
Leo's bearding isn't pathetic like Jake's. Leo is serious about his profession, ready to work hard when he wants something.
I bet you if Jake pulled a Franco and bearded with an almost unknown actress, he'd still get a lot of shit from his "fans".
NO ONE in the right mind will ever support any kind of bearding.
What makes you think Jake is not working hard?
This is a Jake blog not a Leo or Franco blog. WE bitch about and love Jake at the same time on a JAKE blog.
What makes you think Jake is not working hard?
The fact that we never heard anything about Jake doing something related to movies except acting.
NO ONE in the right mind will ever support any kind of bearding.
It shouldn't be supported, but read what Destiny insinuated about Franco, it's ok as long it's not so in your face. Or 5:36 PM about Leo that as long as he's working hard and taking his job seriously, it's ok. Excuses. But Jake is trashed for every tiny thing by people who have the nerve to call themselves fans. Hypocrites!
What makes you think Jake is not working hard?
Jake works hard - awfully hard on the bearding part of his career.
WE bitch about and love Jake at the same time on a JAKE blog.
Love? Please!

I agree I would not say that Jake doesn't work hard. I think he works extremely hard. I think his lack of success since Brokeback has headed him the direction he has taken as far as PR. In a way he may feel that he is fighting for his life. Makes you do desperate things.
jake worked really hard on rehearsals for his Banana Boyz routine ... to end up looking like a fool
-Franco's relationship has never been spread all over the tabloids like Reeke and Swifty.
Exactly. I don't know why people keep trying to compare Jake's bearding to Franco, especially. I'll bet no one even knows the name of Franco's gf. idk if Leo is gay or not, but at least the models he hangs with are sexy women who don't make him look like a pathetic fool.
It shouldn't be supported, but read what Destiny insinuated about Franco...
Destiny is right:
By bearding Jake killed everything that made him "jake" in the eyes of many fans. Add in the fact that it was so over the top--Franco's relationship has never been spread all over the tabloids like Reeke and Swifty.
Exactly. I don't know why people keep trying to compare Jake's bearding to Franco, especially. I'll bet no one even knows the name of Franco's gf.
Even if Jake bearded with a quasi unknown, the negative reaction from some of his followers would be the same. No doubt. Same if he bearded with models a la Leo.
But Jake is trashed for every tiny thing by people who have the nerve to call themselves fans. Hypocrites!
LOL. Oh, the drama! This sounds like its taken right from the Babbler rulebook. What's with this "fan" stuff? Why is everyone required to be a "fan" and what is the definition of a "fan" anyway? How do you know who is calling themselves a "fan"?
Why is everyone required to be a "fan"
Obviously it isn't necessary to be a Jake fan for posting on WFT2. It was proved time and again.
6:02 PM, you are confused, fans aren't ignorant sheep like babblers, fans aren't fangirls.
6:02 PM, you are confused, fans aren't ignorant sheep like babblers.
I'm not confused, I see that many followers here are bitter because Jake doesn't behave the way some envision hence all the trashing.
Obviously it isn't necessary to be a Jake fan for posting on WFT2. It was proved time and again.
I'm assuming no one is forcing you to visit WFT2. Plenty of Jake adoration sites around that won't raise your blood pressure.
jfc, stop throwing the "bitter" word around already. There's no bitterness involved in being embarrassed for a grown man making an ass of himself.
I see that 6:08PM (aka vinegar tits) is still on the "bitter" crusade
jfc, stop throwing the "bitter" word around already. There's no bitterness involved in being embarrassed for a grown man making an ass of himself.
I won't, because the bitterness is very obvious.
Why do you care if Jake makes a fool of himself? He's a grown man. He doesn't give a fuck about you that's for sure.
There are posters who prove their bitterness time and time again. Actually I don't have to mention it, it's too obvious.
Vinegar tits, no-one would come here if it was just full of bitter rants. The posts here are hilarious.
no-one would come here if it was just full of bitter rants.
Maybe because some posters are sick of the bitter rants and try to divert discussion. But someone like you starts with the unnecessary dissing at every opportunity s/he gets.
Poor troll They thought Jakes latest movie would be a huge success and vindicate all the bearding. They are the ones that are bitter. As for comparing Jake to others. This is a Jake site so that is who we talk about and care about. But there is a big difference when you see Franco or Depp or DeCaprio or any big name star interviewed versus Jake. You have the feeling that they are answering the questions asked with there own opinions and ideas for good or bad. With Jake you cant shake the feeling that it is an act. Questions are limited to only certain pre-approved topics. The same limited questions asked at every interview. He comes across as putting on an act which is off putting.
Taylor & Jakey Take Their Love To Nashville
Looking like a brother and sister trying to decide if mom would rather have the caramel cinnamon latte or the spicy hot chocolate, Taylor Swift and Jakey Gyllenhaal continued to brew their new love (Taylor can use that shit for her song about Jakey) at Fido in Nashville, TN this weekend. AND this was after they spent their Thanksgiving morning sipping on maple lattes at Gorilla Coffee in Park Slope. What the fuck is with them and lattes?
Jakey obviously gets the giggles when the foam tickles his top lip and nothing makes him happier than watching the hard wand steam the cream (wink wink). And sipping on a latte makes Taylor feel like a warm cloud of puppy fur is hugging her soul from the back. She probably wrote that same sentence in her Precious Moments journal.
You know, these two make the opposite of sense, but I'm just going to go with it. I'll even ignore Jakey making a "The fuck is with my life choices?" face in the picture above.
D-listed
Comment from ONTD thread on Nashville pic. Swifty's next song:
Dear Jake,
Our Relationship was fake
You never told me, for god sake
Remember that time by the lake
When all we did was bake
Oh, what a mistake to make
To offer you my heart to take
Oh Jake, oh Jake, oh Jake
Great points, 6:30PM#1. ITA.
Hey sugartits, what is your excuse for Zodiac bombing? sure it was a critical hit but Wildhogs beat it at the BO, LOL!! He wasn't bearding then and to top it off Zodiac was totally ignored awards time, tsk, tsk.
Let's face it, Jake can't open a movie, BBM was the curioity facto and Heath got a lot of the praise.
TDAT was a cheesey piece of crap that would have made $$$ no matter who was in it.
But someone like you starts with the unnecessary dissing at every opportunity s/he gets.
You got dissed after the twentieth time you called someone "bitter". What do you expect? A hug?
LOL :)
He comes across as putting on an act which is off putting.
Jake came off very genuine and charming during LAOD promotion.
If you are so put off by him, WTF are you doing here? Oh right, I forgot this is not a fansite. It's a Jake dissing site.
And no, I wasn't expecting a hit, I knew it had problems since it wasn't featured at any of the main festivals.
omg, I just about peed my pants laughing. There are a couple of really clueless posters over at DC on the Lashers thread (where any hint about gay Jake is strictly forbidden). One of the sweet, but clueless fangirls just posted a comment in response to Jake and Tay Tay Nashville pic. She's SO disappointed that Jake is with Taylor because she's just not 'worth a second' of his time!!!
Then she unwittingly adds: "Guess that beard's back again, huh? Oh no."
LMAO!!! She has no clue what she just said and it must be driving the mods crazy.
6:45PM, stop trying to label everyone and everything. If you don't like criticism of Jake or his movies, you can always scroll or maybe you would be happier hanging out at different sites where only positive remarks are allowed.
So,after all this weeks of "secretly dating",
we finally got a "candid pic" of Jake & Taylor. Just in time when LaOD is on the verge of being the FLOP of the year... what a coincidence,hu?
You got dissed after the twentieth time you called someone "bitter". What do you expect? A hug?
Please as if I would care if you dissed me, you don't know me. You can call me whatever you want. If we saw each other on the street, you'd never know who I am. Maybe we even know and like each other in real life?
No, I meant you diss JG at every opportunity you get. And weirdly it does bother me, since I, unlike some or many on WFT2, actually like him (in a actor/fan way). I think he's funny and charming and a fine actor. To make it clear, I dislike his attention love and RW/TS disasters. I don't approve of it. But what can you do? It's his decision.
This is a Jake site so that is who we talk about and care about. But there is a big difference when you see Franco or Depp or DeCaprio or any big name star interviewed versus Jake. You have the feeling that they are answering the questions asked with there own opinions and ideas for good or bad. With Jake you cant shake the feeling that it is an act. Questions are limited to only certain pre-approved topics. The same limited questions asked at every interview. He comes across as putting on an act which is off putting.
I need to post this quote. How can you claim to care about someone, then say other actors are more real in interviews and that you think Jake is off putting.
I doesn't make sense to me. But it's probably only me.
7:00 PM - is your boyfriend / girlfriend / partner perfect? No? Do you care about him/her?
To make it clear, I dislike his attention love and RW/TS disasters. I don't approve of it. But what can you do? It's his decision.
Just like you dislike his love of attention and bearding, other posters dislike certain other elements of his character and/or his actions. It doesn't mean they hate Jake or that they are bitter.
7:00 PM - is your boyfriend / girlfriend / partner perfect? No? Do you care about him/her?
You can never compare caring about your partner and caring about an actor you don't know personally. If you love someone you want the best for them and give him an advice, but it's up to them to consider the advice or ponder over it. I'm sure Jake doesn't listen to people who call themselves fans and rant about everything (in their opinion) wrong he does. If an actor's personality, life decisions, acting etc. grates on your nerves, I wonder why you bother to follow them and get upset about certain decisions you don't approve of? Even though I don't apporve of his recent real life decisions, I still enjoy him in interviews and as an actor.
Nobody is going to see LAOD because they think he is dating Swift, how absurd. Her fans are not the target audience and his fans consists of middle-age women offended by nudity and naughty words, LOL!!!
Why shouldn't he hang out with her, she has more $$$ than him, just the way he likes it!
I wonder why you bother to follow them and get upset about certain decisions you don't approve of?.
You really LOVE playing stupid, don't you?
Just like you dislike his love of attention and bearding, other posters dislike certain other elements of his character and/or his actions. It doesn't mean they hate Jake or that they are bitter.
It's different, some are merciless towards Jake for every mistake and some even are happy when he fails. Like he deserves it. WTF?
It makes me wonder why they still follow him? It is weird.
I wonder why you bother to follow them and get upset about certain decisions you don't approve of?.

I'm not playing stupid. Maybe I just don't understand some people's motivations. Maybe you can enlighten me?
7:32 PM - read comments, there are 5 answers to your question but you chose to ignore them.

Jake's fame whoring with beards shouldn't be rewarded.
Bored with the circle jerk over at gigglebabble 7:42PM?
And weirdly it does bother me,
Right. So if you can see that it's weird that it bothers you, then stop preaching to people and let them think, feel, post and say what they want without you acting like Mother Superior every other post.
I still enjoy him in interviews and as an actor.
Okay. Good. No one is stopping you from doing this.
Jake's fame whoring with beards shouldn't be rewarded.
But why do you care? If you disagree with his life decisions, don't like him as an actor, don't like him in interviews. When there is nothing that appeals to you. It makes one wonder why he is still of interst to you.
Right. So if you can see that it's weird that it bothers you, then stop preaching to people and let them think, feel, post and say what they want without you acting like Mother Superior every other post.
There are posters who see no redeeming quality in Jake, that's why it's a mystery to me why they follow him and get upset? Masochists maybe?
7:45 If anyplace is a circle jerk is this blog, you all seem to be from the DC forum, BBM fans, one big circle of jerks.
And to top it off the DC forum is truly pathetic and i'm not just talking about the lasher thread but the whole site, still obsessing over a movie that came out 5 years ago, sad.
It makes one wonder why he is still of interst to you.
No, it doesn't, it just makes silly fangirls ask silly questions over and over and over again.
7:42, the Swifty bearding isn't driving anyone crazy except for the babblers who hate it but can't come out and say so, lol. WFTers knew he would beard again and, predictably he started before his movie came out. It doesn't matter if her fans are the target audience for LAOD. All his PR cares about is that he is seen with a female; they don't care if he makes a fool of himself, they proved that with Reese. Taylor is a known "A List" beard :) He's lucky she was free at the right time, lol.
7:51 PM #2 - we are still waiting for Reeke wedding and babies!
What happened to that? LMAO
7:51PM, this isn't babblers. No one here "wants" a closeted gay guy for themselves, lol.
And to top it off the DC forum is truly pathetic and i'm not just talking about the lasher thread but the whole site, still obsessing over a movie that came out 5 years ago, sad.
It's a Brokeback Mountain forum, of course they're obsessing over it! Duh!
7:45 If anyplace is a circle jerk is this blog, you all seem to be from the DC forum, BBM fans, one big circle of jerks.
That's actually funny! Well done. Now keep participating in this blog of jerks. Wonder what that makes you. How many posts have you racked up tonight?
"7:51PM, this isn't babblers. No one here "wants" a closeted gay guy for themselves, lol."
Then why are you so obsessed with Jake? I mean according to you all he is a loser, bad actor, coward, ugly and probably has bad breath.
There are posters who see no redeeming quality in Jake, that's why it's a mystery to me why they follow him and get upset? Masochists maybe?
You're confused, Mother Superior. You're the only one getting upset :) Jake's PR tactics are sorry and predictable, but not upsetting :)
Goodness I glad this pic has turned up just to ruin the weekend of every Jake is toothy tile believer.
And you came here three years ago and proclaimed the same thing about Reeke. LOL!!
LMAO 8:03 :)
Goodness I glad this pic has turned up...
What picture? The one where Jake looks like bored Taylor's father?
LOL at 7:57PM using the ONTD poster as "proof" that the fauxmance is "real." omg, that's the best one yet. Jake being gay is so scary and threatening to his fangirls. This blog must keep them up at night, lol.
The only ones whose weekend is ruined by that pic are the babblers and lashers, lol. Jake's really thrown them for a loop this time.
I generally dislike ONTD posters. They think they are oh so smart, when in fact they are pretentious, wannabe intellectual celebrity obsessives.
The latest review of LAOD (a D+) mentions the brother, and I lol'd cuz someone here mentioned incest, and I think he's the first reviewer to use the word. It's weird that no one involved in the movie thought this was creepy.
This goes on for roughly under two hours, amidst Jamie’s rise to the top of the drug world, thanks to the recently released Viagra pill; his brother developing an off-putting and weird incestuous relationship with him

It's weird that no one involved in the movie thought this was creepy.
I would say it's fucking unbelievable, what were they thinking?
comment at d-listed re Tay Tay:
"but when I see her all I see is very carefully researched marketing and a pantload of painstakingly photoshopped imagery."
8:45 Off putting and creepy to that blogger. Yes the sex tape was creepy but there was nothing else that would suggest incest, he is the only blogger that mentions incest.
I saw LAOD. Maybe he is into incest/slash fanfic, ewww!!!!
8:45 Off putting and creepy to that blogger.
You obviously didn't read any LAOD reviews. And you are the only one who thinks that jerking off to brothers's sex tape is normal behaviour.
That reviewer may be the only one to use the word incestuous, but almost all the reviewers thought the brother's role was lame, unfunny, crude and tacky and an attempt to imitate Judd Apatow movies.
In answer to the question if Zwick wanted Jake for the role or if Jake wanted it. It was supposedly Jake who begged Zwick. Zwick was ambivalent though, didn't think Jake could pull the role off. We know he did cast him in the end. Both begged Anne to join, who gave in.
In the end Jake and Anne are the saving graces of the movie for most reviewers. And Zwick thought Jake couldn't pull it off.
I think Jake was as desperate to work with Zwick because in 2007 Zwick did Blood Diamond which was well received and DiCaprio got an Oscar nod.
whitneyteubs: FYI sitting next to your dad during Love and Other Drugs gets super awkward
Why do people go with their parents to see an R rated movie like LAOD?
whitneyteubs: FYI sitting next to your dad during Love and Other Drugs gets super awkward
LOL. I wonder if Jake will take Taylor S and her mommy and daddy to a special screening this weekend :)
^^ Well, it looks like this movie needs all the money they can get, so maybe ;) Or maybe he'll sneak her in after they watch "Tangled" cuz you know they are totally going to see that movie.
Why do people go with their parents to see an R rated movie like LAOD?
ikr? can't remember where I read it, maybe ONTD, but someone said they saw a grandmother with two granddaughters (don't know the ages) when they saw LAOD. wtf?
Where I saw LAOD, a lady came in with a boy of about 8 years old, we were all WTF!? They left after about the first 15 minutes. Lady, did you not see the naked people on the movie poster!?!
Where I saw LAOD, a lady came in with a boy of about 8 years old, we were all WTF!? They left after about the first 15 minutes. Lady, did you not see the naked people on the movie poster!?!
LOL. Also, it's R rated. She must have known that.
To the posters who have seen the movie: Does the creepy brother realizes he is watching his own brother on that video tape or he finds out only when Jake catchs him?
Where I saw LAOD, a lady came in with a boy of about 8 years old, we were all WTF!? They left after about the first 15 minutes. Lady, did you not see the naked people on the movie poster!?!
omg. wtf is wrong with people, especially when you have that poster staring at you! I would say they were in the wrong theater, but it wouldn't take you 15 minutes to know you weren't watching "Tangled." lol. I totally believe it, though. I've seen people drag little kids into R rated movies at night before. idk if they can't get a sitter or what. At least the LAOD lady left.
Maybe she thought it was a Meg Ryan kind of romcom.
Another proof this movie was promotioned in the most shitty way
No, Josh (the brother) knows it's Jaime and Maggie's sex tape. His excuse was he wasn't paying attention to who was on the tape, he was getting off to the girl's body in the tape. Yeah ok... the brother in this movie was absolutely useless
ChelsWolf: The best part of "Love and Other Drugs" was seeing Jake gyllenhall's naked butt. The worst part? Seeing it with my mom and two other parents
Creepy. If you want to talk about creepy that latest picture of Swift looking like a little girl and Jake like her father is creepy. Really creepy.
Thanks for the answer,10:00 PM
I'm sorry you had to pay to watch such a vomit inducing scene.I wish you a quick recovery....
Creepy. If you want to talk about creepy that latest picture of Swift looking like a little girl and Jake like her father is creepy. Really creepy.
She's only 20, probably looks even younger without or with less make up. Jake's a grown, manly looking man of almost 30.
Noone looking at the photo of Jake and Taylor is going to say see hes not Toothy. The opposite reaction in fact. His mgmt team is so bad that they dont even see what a fiasco they have created. You made your bed this time Toothy.
I think Jake was as desperate to work with Zwick because in 2007 Zwick did Blood Diamond which was well received and DiCaprio got an Oscar nod.
Jake admitted in the Early Show interview from last week that Ed Zwick actually didn't want Jake for the role of Jamie at all. In fact, Jake said that Zwick wouldn't even take his calls. When Harry Smith asks how Jake went about getting Zwick to hire him, Jake laughs about about how he sold Ed on the idea that he was a jerk --then adds that "It wasn't that hard."-- He explains that like a salesman he convinced Zwick that "You wrote this movie for me. You just didn't know it."
Later in the same interview, Jake discusses how he and Ed courted Annie and expanded her role. We already know that's when the script began to change from a movie about the Pharma industry into a Dramedy. I hate to say it, but I think Jake and his people couldn't pass up the opportunity to push Jake as a horny, vagina loving cad, with his former female counterpart from BbM. Why else call LAOD "the child" of Brokeback Mountain. When you remember Adam Levine's stupid comment this past September "Stop thinking Jake is Gay" and his PR approved observation that the only reason people think Jake is gay is because of BbM, it all fits.
"Creepy. If you want to talk about creepy that latest picture of Swift looking like a little girl and Jake like her father is creepy. Really creepy."
Bingo!
Even those who believe that Jake is straight must feel at least uncomfortable seeing this pic.
Spotted! Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal Cozy Up in Nashville
It's been a busy travel weekend for most Americans – and especially for Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal.
Two days after enjoying maple lattes together in Brooklyn, N.Y., on Thanksgiving, Swift and Gyllenhaal popped up in the singer's hometown of Nashville.
On Saturday afternoon, the couple were spotted getting a late breakfast at Fido, a coffeehouse and café near Vanderbilt University and Music Row.
"They were smiling and laughing. They were talking a lot and enjoying each other's company," fellow diner Elaina Mishu tells PEOPLE. "They didn't look like [just] friends."
Customer Emma Rice, who snapped a photo of the pair and posted it online, calls the duo "very cute" and says, "They seemed close."
The singer, 20, and actor, 29, were first spotted together in late October.
And while Gyllenhaal has avoided commenting on his relationship with Swift, they aren't hiding their affection.
"They were not trying to be discreet by any means," another eyewitness says of the pair, who sat at a table near a window. "They were definitely a couple. They looked very happy."
People.com
"They seemed close."
LMAO
Jake wears the same clothes in NYC and Nashville? Or PR saved a NYC picture for Nashville fiction?
Jake has worn that shirt ad nauseum. Look at the some of the clothes he wore for the press junkets. I swear he wore the same blue lumberjack shirt for the UK press junket that he wore for the NY junket.
Taylor's off the shoulder sweater is different, light grey in Brooklyn and darkin Nashville, plus her under shirt thingy is different, it her "signature" look away fro the biz along with her stupid hats.
PS: I saw pics inside of Fido and it's that's where they are.
Or PR saved a NYC picture for Nashville fiction?
Bingo!
I have asked this question before and no one has answered except with the same old "his fauxmance with Reese W" or his bearding. Do you have any proof at all that Jake is gay? ONe morsel and I don't mean the Downlow board. And Ted C knows you all think Jake is Toothy which is why he fuels the lie. He has become worse than Perez, if Jake were gay, Perez would have been all over it years ago. WHile a jerk, Perez has more balls than Ted C, he would have outed Jake.
And before you ask, what proof do I have that he is straight? Jenny Lewis, Kiki, Reese, Taylor S. and not mention other one night stands. The fact that Jake has said that he found it flattering to be call bi-sexual during an interview and that while it was not bi, he would not run away from being attracted to a man. And BBM the movie itselg. No in the closet actor would do a gay movie or say he found it flattering to be call bi-sexual.
ANd recently during an interview for LAOD, he stated the BBM was fiction which to clear it up means that he's not gay he was just playing gay.
And Jersey Bob don't start about having to prove someone is gay when straight men don't have to prove they are straight. Most sane human beings would say dating, living with women would make a man straight.
PS: I saw pics inside of Fido and it's that's where they are.
Nah, doesn't look like Fido, Nashville:
Fido, Nashville gallery
Do you have any proof at all that Jake is gay?
Do you have any proof that Jake is straight? No? I thought so.
Stinky linky 9:58, it's the same place:
http://www.bongojava.com/photos.php?gal=15&s=15&np=3
BTW, there are Fido shirts for sale in the pics posted, take a look they are on display at what looks like x-mas trimmings.
The pic was taken yesterday, there were FB sigtings of them there before the pic was tajken.
Most sane human beings would say dating, living with women would make a man straight.
True. Jake doesn't date women because he's gay.
Stinky linky 9:58, it's the same place:

Post picture that looks similar to place where TS and Jake were photographed if it's the same place.
Jake wears the same clothes in NYC and Nashville?
Yep, looks like Jake uses the same shirt for taking Taylor Swift to coffee shops. lol
Jake looks like he is wearing the same shirt but Taylor's is different. The shirt she wore in NY is light grey and you can see through it. Also she is caring a brown bag and wearing a red scarf.
The pic from yesterday she is wearing a darker grey sweated and you can't see through it, it's similiar in style though. She is also carrying a grey bag and is wearing that dumb hat. And although she has the same hair style, her hair appears more frizzy in the NY pics and more conditioned in the pics from yesterday.
We know that Jake's wears the same clothes over and over.
Also they are in Fido's in Nashville as you can see the shirts with their logo on sale, there is no Fido's in NY.
Jake and Reese wore the same tired outfits as well.
Looking a Jake with Taylor Swift doesn't make me think he's gay, but it also doesn't make me think he's straight. All it makes me think is, God what an pathetic idiot who is so desperate for publicity and keeping his name and face in the tabloids so that those readers will think that he is some A list celeb that he's begun some PR scripted "romance" with some 20 year old girl who comes across as an immature teenager, has no sex appeal and has a history of dating sexually ambigious men. If he is totally straight and was inclined to date a teenager, wouldn't he at least date one that was sexy? Look at Ryan Seacrest, there may be rumors about him, but he's dating a 22 year old. But at least Julianne Hough is sexy, has a great body and comes across as somewhat mature. Or look at Leo DiCaprio, he dates much younger women, but they are gorgeous models. At least people can say, yeah younger woman, but look at her. Taylor Swift is none of these things. The only thing Jake's getting from this PR romance is jeering and being laughed at.
Later in the same interview, Jake discusses how he and Ed courted Annie and expanded her role. We already know that's when the script began to change from a movie about the Pharma industry into a Dramedy.
I'm an Anne fan, but they shouldn't have messed with the script just to fit her in. What's done is done. Most enjoyed the first part of the film and bashed the 2nd. They should have kept the love thing to a minimum like it probably first was intended, before Anne came along and demanded to expand her role. If she didn't like it, they should have hired another actress and not change anything.
It's water under the brigde now.
Anne has a great movie coming out soon that will probably give her award attention again. Jake has Source Code which, according to rumors, will have the same fate as LAOD. *shrugs*
I don't want to bring up Franco, but have you seen his filmography? He is filming non stop. What does Jake do? Does he have a band? Does he direct? Has a restaurant he needs to cook for?
Even in his early years, he barely worked. Even single mom MW is working all the time and she has a child to take care of, ok the nanny is doing the job, but still.
Jake, stop being lazy!
AinsleyWashek: RT @NaughtyNiceRob: After Zodiak, King Of Persia and now horrid numbers for Love & Other Drugs- don't expect to sell Jake gYllenhaal carry a major pic anymore
Lazy??? You think that bearding and working on my awesome image isn't hard work?
I'm talking about real work, like work on movies Jake! You're an actor, aren't you?
10:51AM, ITA and couldn't have said it better.
don't expect to sell Jake gYllenhaal carry a major pic anymore
Don't listen to them Jake, we just need a few killer photo ops and tabloid covers to show them your charisma and straight leading man's presence!
"Do you have any proof at all that Jake is gay?
Do you have any proof that Jake is straight? No? I thought so.
November 28, 2010 10:01 AM'
Yep, I do, did you not read my comment and I already answered that question. This blog is becoming the best proof that Jake is straight. He has dated girls, what guys has be dates? Don;t say Austin because that's just fan fiction. I'm waiting, just name one guy Jake has dated. I have already named the girls. You have no proof what so ever, not anything that is remotely a rumor about Jake and a guy, any guy.
I'm telling you if Jake was gay, Perez would have outed Jake just to one up Ted C.
ANd recently during an interview for LAOD, he stated the BBM was fiction which to clear it up means that he's not gay he was just playing gay.
This was pathetic of Jake and you know it. It doesn't prove he's straight, just that he's desperate to make people forget he played gay. Ironically many complain there's too much sex in LAOD (and too little in BBM LOL). 17 times was too much, Jake!
Was there really too much sex? I'm a straight woman and really enjoyed looking at Anne naked in online clips and pics. The scene where she kisses Jake's belly. Her butt looks delish. Not sure if I'm that straight...LOL.
He has dated girls, what guys has be dates?
Bearding with Reese Witherspoon and Taylor Swift is proof that Jake is gay.
What Ted says Taylor is still virgin?
Wasn't there a rumor that Jake was Kiki Drunkst's first? Anyone read that too?
It just occurred to me that what if jake is gay but does not want to be gay.
What's wrong with that? You may be born with a certain sexuality whether attracted to the same sex or not. But you also have the choice not to act on it. ANd yes you can decide that being born gay is not what you want. Then it becomes a choice. Why can't you all respect Jake's choice?
I'm telling you if Jake was gay, Perez would have outed Jake just to one up Ted C.
Did Perez ever outed an A-lister? B-lister? No, he didn't. Perez likes $$$ too much.
If so, Jake's chasing female virgings? Haha creep.
J/K...or not.
Kiki virgin before Jake, yeah right. She went out with screw-boy Heath briefly before Jake, that should tell you how chaste she was.
Jake doesn't chase female virgins because he wants to fuck them, lol.
Kiki virgin before Jake, yeah right. She went out with screw-boy Heath briefly before Jake, that should tell you how chaste she was.
Good point. It's probably a false rumor.
"He has dated girls, what guys has be dates?

November 28, 2010 11:37 AM'
Thats not proof, thats a tired old argument you always used because you have no proof otherwise, straight men do not have to beard with anyone. What Jake did with Reese and now with Taylor is call dating.
That bearding argument is your last defense because you have nothing else. How come Jake does not bing on the gaydar of men who post on gaysites such as Elton or Towerload? They all adore Jake but while they wish he were gay they all live in the real world.
Why did my post disappear? It was between 11:07 and 11:08? No links, not that long...
What Jake did with Reese and now with Taylor is call dating.
Only if you're brainless fangirl.
Ha, there's another argument for Jake as being straight. He does not ping on the gaydar of real gay men?
That bearding argument is your last defense because you have nothing else.
Jake Gyllenhaal is gay as a goose, deal with that.
ANd yes you can decide that being born gay is not what you want. Then it becomes a choice.
No, it does not become a "choice." One of the most ignorant things I've ever read. It becomes hiding who you are. It become lying. It becomes bearding. It becomes being a fake. It becomes putting on a phony public image while privately living another life. It becomes self-hating homophobia. It becomes self-destructive behavior that can never lead to happiness or fulfillment.
If goose are gay are duck straight and chickens BI???
Ha, there's another argument for Jake as being straight. He does not ping on the gaydar of real gay men?
You mean hundreds of gay men who claim that Jake is gay / looks gay / acts gay / everyone in the industry knows Jake is gay? LOL

Another tired old comeback, still no proof Jake is gay. Just admit it you have no proof, not even one guy's name or a rumor with names of guys. I guess than "brainless girl" just out you as living in your own fanfiction world.

Where's the proof, are you in the industry? Are you just repeating what has been written over and over again as unproven rumor by Jonathan Jackson. You all are beginning to take your own comments as the truth. Again just one name or some believable story without names. You have nothing.
10:51 and 11:31 sounds like a desperate Jake fan so threatened that he's gay and that people know it that they can't stay away from here. If they really, really believed in their heart he was the 100% hetero guy he's pretending to be they wouldn't spend a second of their time here at a JiG blog. The fact that they do says a lot :)
11:51 AM - brainless fangirl is a compliment for trolls like you.
"gay / looks gay / acts gay "
How homophobic of you? A soft spoken man is obviously gay? Wow.
You mean hundreds of gay men who claim that Jake is gay / looks gay / acts gay / everyone in the industry knows Jake is gay? LOL
WTF? This is offensive. How does a man look or act "gay"? Give me an example of Jake "looking" and "acting" gay? Those statement is homophobic.
You have nothing.
That's why you are here, because we have nothing and Jake is straight. LMAO!!!
How homophobic of you? A soft spoken man is obviously gay? Wow.
The sad thing is, some of the posters who write this shit say they are gay friendly, but use the most primitve cliches and stereotypes to describe homosexuals.
How does a man look or act "gay"?
Gay enough for you?
Wow, the bearding with Swifty is really driving the JiS crowd around the bend, lol. Here's a question they can't answer: Why are you here? Why waste your time with a bunch of people you think are delusional? ;)
SO I guess lady gaga is a gay man.
The sad thing is, some of the posters who write this shit say they are gay friendly, but use the most primitve cliches and stereotypes to describe homosexuals.
There is nothing wrong with being gay and yes, a lot of gay men can be recognized by the way they talk or act.
Gay enough for you?
How old are you? Do you actually know gay men? There are many effeminate straight men out there too. True, most effeminate guys you can find among homosexuals, but there are also many straight effeminate guys. Tool.
It's funny that 11:59 can't answer the real questions about why they are here and just keeps repeating themselves. They've spent how much time this morning on a blog they don't believe in? Pathetic, not to mention transparent. This blog drives them absolutely insane and it's funny to watch.
Wow, the bearding with Swifty is really driving the JiS crowd around the bend, lol.
Yes, it's obvious, fangirls are pissed off because Jake looks too old next to Taylor Swift and people find them creepy to look at.
LONDON: John Travolta has been accused of picking up men in saunas. Writer Robert Randolph in his book, You’ll Never Spa In This Town Again, reckons he saw the Grease star getting it on with men in LA steam rooms.
Randolph blasted Travolta as a serial cheater who makes philandering golfer Tiger Woods, 34, look like “a boy scout”, reports the Daily Star. But Travolta has denied the allegations. On November 26 the star’s lawyers demanded celebrity gossip website Gawker after it published Randolph’s accusations withdraw the “false and outrageous lies”.

Because as much as Taylor with Jake irritates me, the one good thing about it, it is driving you all crazy that your Jake is Gay homophobic campaign is losing just as much credbility as Sarah Palin for President.
Oh still waiting for proof of Jake is Gay.
Whats your motive moderator for this blog? How is it entertainment to be homophobic. Will Jake being gay change the gay rights movement? I mean an "in the closet" gay man? Yep gay kids can really look up to that as a role model.

Still no proof Jake is gay. Thats why I'm here. You stated this is Jake is Gay board. Prove that is gay, prove that this board is right about jake's sexuality. I don't have to be prove is straight because this board is not a Jake is straight board. Just asking thats all.

Troll, you are the only homophobic person here, you are the only one who can't stand gay Jake.
Still waiting for the purpose of this homophobic site since you have no proof Jake is gay.
ignoring the question because you have no proof Jake is Gay
We have tons of proof that Jake is gay - and you know that. Why would we want to prove anything to troll like you? Why would your opinion be important to us?
Gay or striaght, Jake will end up with Taylor married with kids.
NOOO! I don't know if Jake is gay, straight, bi whatever. But if he's genuinely into females too, he should wait for a more mature woman to start a family with. Please don't bash me now, but maybe he could wait for Anne to break up with Shulman. She said she wants to become a mom soon too.
Jake said the priority in his 30ies is having children. I think he should rather concentrate on his career, at least in the beginning of his 30ies.
Poor JiS fangirls, bearding with Tylor Swift is such disappointment!
the one good thing about it, it is driving you all crazy
Ah, but you see that's where you're wrong, lol. It's not driving anyone here crazy. He's bearding again, that was expected. It the JiS crowd that can't stand the Swifty fauxmance because they can't explain it without making Jake look bad. I see now 12:07PM has moved on to challenging the existence of this blog, like anyone owes them a justification. And btw, we all know you're a regular babbler, and even which one you are. You're not fooling anyone ;)
Jake will end up with Taylor married with kids
LMAO! You are desperate idiot.
Please don't bash me now, but maybe he could wait for Anne to break up with Shulman.
And do what? Ask her to have his kids because she's gay friendly?
ffs, go back to babblers and stop with the tired old "proof" bullshit. No one here gives a flying fuck what you think or owes you any explanation. Your trolling is proof that this blog is driving you out of your mind and you keep avoiding the question of why you give a crap what we think, lol.
I love how anyone who doesn't like LAOD (like the majority of the critics) is automatically a "bitter" Jake hater, lol. That's the babblers tired old argument every time one of Jake's movies isn't a hit.
Not to defend Babblers or others from Jake's fanbase, but most seem to agree that the genre mix wasn't a wise idea by Zwick. I read through comments.
And do what? Ask her to have his kids because she's gay friendly?
Please try to read. I would NEVER want him to beard. I said, IF he happens to like females too (genuinely) he could have a baby with Anne. He would be a great father and she'd do him a big favour. Also, they get along well.

Maybe some of them, but UV loved the movie. She even thought the disgusting brother was basically funny. She and a couple of others came right out and said that they didn't understand what the critics were talking about. Besides, I was referring to the poster above who said the guy who tweeted about LAOD and Jake was "bitter." I'm sure there are some babblers who can't be phony enough to pretend LAOD is a great movie.
Anne wants her own family, not kids with gay friend.
Maybe some of them, but UV loved the movie. She even thought the disgusting brother was basically funny.
UV is a liar.

I believe if he worked more, say like 4 films a year, one must be good, so the other flops aren't that bad. I don't want Source Code to come out, because I know it will have the same fate as the last 4 movies.
Jake Gyllenhaal: `I`m no leading man`
Jake Gyllenhaal has admitted that he doesn't see himself as being a Hollywood A-lister.
The 29-year-old Love And Other Drugs star insisted that he feels that in his opinion, he's still got a lot more to achieve before he joins the elite.
Asked about his leading man status, he told Total Film, 'I don't see myself like that at all.
'That's very result-orientated. I've been like that at different times in my career, but at this point I'm not. I think people look at me a little bit like that, but I don't.
'I've been the lead in a lot of different movies but it's never been about that. It's funny. I was at some event for Prince Of Persia and Tom Cruise and Nicolas Cage were there. And there I was standing with them thinking, 'What the hell am I doing here?'' he laughed.
monsters and critcs
"So thats your style, ignoring the question because you have no proof Jake is Gay."
You know what - for me it has nothing to do with the question whether Jake is gay or straight.
But seeing how he has presented himself during the last years makes me sad. First the overexposure with Ms Reese, where he was tabloid material 24/7, now with a woman who looks and behaves like a 13-year old girl.
Actors like Ryan Gosling, James Franco or Joseph Gordon-Levitt would never allow their private lifes being on show like Jake does.
They all have something creative to fill in the time when not shooting a movie. And all their last films were at least praised and respected by critics and audience.
Jakes films since ZODIAC were duds with the critics and bombed at the BO.
Perhaps it is time for Jake to make headlines with his work again instead with his so called "private" life.
I've been the lead in a lot of different movies but it's never been about that.
Dear Jake,
did you forget all that time wasted on Prince of Persia? We didn't so we don't believe "it's never been about that" bullshit.
P.S. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be a leading man, but looks like you have no idea what makes a leading man.
Perhaps it is time for Jake to make headlines with his work again instead with his so called "private" life.
It is about time, no question.
Oh, by the way, are we finally over "Jake and Austin and BT are family" silliness?
How old is BT supposed to be now? 4?

Oh, by the way, are we finally over "Jake and Austin and BT are family" silliness?
I doubt it. There is a handful of TBers who will forever believe in BT, even in 10 years from now without any credible proof. If you stay around, you'll see. :)

Oh right.
...now with a woman who looks and behaves like a 13-year old girl.
TS's age keeps regressing by the minute. She was assessed at 14 last week. At this rate, she'll be back in the womb by her next birthday. Since when is 21 considered being a teenager? And you make Jake sound like a 50 year old man.
6. Love And Other Drugs (Fox) NEW [2,455 Runs]
Wednesday $2.1M, Thursday $1.9M, Friday $3.8M, Saturday $3.8M
Estimated 3-Day Weekend $9.6M, 5-Day Holiday $13.8M
It's been decades since Ed Zwick directed a romantic comedy-drama, and that was the now classic About Last Night based on the David Mamet play Sexual Perversity In Chicago. So it's a shame that a quality adult pic like Love And Other Drugs is having difficulty meeting even modest mid-teens expectations for the 5-day holiday. Based on the non-fiction title Hard Sell: The Evolution of a Viagra Salesman written by Jamie Reidy, this pic is underperforming even with the very appealing stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway. (But clearly, after Zodiak and Prince Of Persia, Jake can't carry a major studio picture.) Though tracking best with women over 25, one roadblock could be its R rating because of a topless actress and a bottomless actor. Though reviewers were only lukewarm about the pic, Hathaway and Gyllenhaal should garner Golden Globe heat in the comedy/musical category (despite some killer dramatic scenes) because those Hollywood Foreign Press Association hacks care mostly about star wattage. But that will come too late to help box office.
Family Pic Feast On Thanksgiving Weekend: Hair No Match For 'Harry Potter/Hallows' But 'Tangled' Doubles Predictions; 'Burlesque', 'Love/Other Drugs', 'Faster' All Disappoint
(But clearly, after Zodiak and Prince Of Persia, Jake can't carry a major studio picture.)
He can not. Jake doesn't see himself as an A-List, leading man either. Don't cast him if you expect a block buster hit. Movies that aren't supposed to make shit load of cash, are more appropriate.
Is Source Code supposed to be a mainstream flick and is expected to make lots of cash? Or is it rather idie with modest $ expectations?
Every movie is supposed to make profit, including Source Code.
Since when is 21 considered being a teenager? And you make Jake sound like a 50 year old man.
Awwww, so nice of you to support this "couple"!
Gay Jake is clearly bearding with those ladies.
Straight Jake seems to like the attention that comes along with dating more famous women and to keep him "relevant". Could suggest lack of self-esteem. But then, he doesn't seem to have many self-esteeme issues. Or he's hiding it very well.
Jake doesn't see himself as an A-List, leading man either.
Actions speak louder than words, are we supposed to forget what Jake did during last 5 years?
