Happy Birthday Jake Gyllenhaal!

Honesty has a beautiful and refreshing simplicity about it. No ulterior motives. No hidden meanings. An absence of hypocrisy, duplicity, political games, and verbal superficiality. As honesty and real integrity characterize our lives, there will be no need to manipulate others.

Matilda is worth gold. She bound Heath to Michelle, now she binds Jake to both girls. Michelle knows how to keep hot guys in her life. Make them fathers or godfathers. ;)

In all honesty, Matilda is adorable. I wish her happiness in life. It's cute that she and Ramona, both, like flamenco dancing. :)

True Life is Stranger than Fiction said...

Charlie Lowden, a British scaffolder who died at age 20 during "routine surgery" around Christmas last year, donated sperm to his aunt and her partner so they could have children — but never told his parents Charles and Lynn Lowden. But Lynn's sister Sarah and her partner Claire told Charlie's parents about his gracious act after he died, and the married couple who thought they had a niece and nephew now realize they have grandchildren. Claire gave birth to Carlton, now 5, and Sarah, 2 … which, uh, means Charlie first donated his sperm at age 16.

No Daniel Craig shots for Obama this year: "The White House gave the press pool traveling with the president strict instructions that there would be no long lenses or other sneaky attempts to take pictures of a shirtless leader of the free world...The subject of images of Mr. Obama sans shirt has been a touchy one during his presidency. In 2008, when he was president-elect, some pictures emerged from him body-surfing in Hawaii, and he seemed a little sheepish when they were splashed all over the tabloids and magazines."

"He grew a beard about a year before I learned that he was gay. I didn’t like it or understand it. But if a man grows a beard, you don’t think he’s gay. In retrospect, I found out that he was taking pictures of his beard and sending them to other men."

— Kiri Blakeley, a Forbes magazine writer who ended a 10-year relationship with her fiance after he came out to her in 2006 before their wedding, says there were no obvious red flags. Besides the lack of sex:

"We would have sex only once every couple of months. One time we went eight months without it. But we had been together 10 years. I know a couple right now who just had a baby and have not had sex in over a year. We even went to therapy about it. He would sit there and say, ‘Oh, I’m tired,’ or ‘Yeah, we gotta work on this.’ He never piped up and said, ‘It’s because I like men!’"

Michelle Williams "proud" of "Valentine" sex scene said...

(Reuters) - Michelle Williams scored a Golden Globe nomination for her performance as a wife in a fractured relationship in film drama "Blue Valentine," which hits theaters in major U.S. cities on Wednesday.

Williams, 30, perhaps best known for her performance in "Brokeback Mountain," sat down with Reuters to talk about the independent film that looks at the beginning, and end, of a once happy marriage, the sex scene that sparked controversy, and why she is proud to be a part of it.

Q: Most films are shot out of order, but for "Blue Valentine" director Derek Cianfrance wanted everything shot chronologically -- from the romantic beginning to the broken present. What was that like?
A: "As these things are happening to the character, they're happening to you. The lines get blurry, but it's very exciting to present something that feels as close to life as possible."

Q: You and Ryan took a month off between shooting the past and present and actually lived together in character. Why?
A: "The break was supposed to be a week, but it got extended to a month so that we could learn how to fight with each other and get on each other's nerves."

Q: A week was not enough?
A: "When it came time to close the chapter on the first part of the movie, we were having a hard time switching to the fighting because we had built up this trust in each other. We were hesitant to burn it to the ground. We had gone to the strangest, silliest, most intimate places."

Q: Your characters have a little daughter. Ever think about using your 5-year old daughter for that role?
A: "I think in the context of 'Blue Valentine,' that would have been too strange and not healthy for her at all. The things that were happening -- the bad vibes of a relationship for instance -- felt very real."

Michelle said...

Q: Has putting her in film crossed your mind before?
A: "On a different movie it did. In it, there were a few very sweet, very light scenes that were more about playing. They were having a hard time finding a child and I said to the director, 'Gosh, Matilda would be the right age.' ... but then (I) realized if that's something she's interested in, then it's a choice she can make in her own life. It's something she's never expressed interest in doing. Her interests are horseback riding, Flamenco dancing and taking care of puppies (laughs)."

Q: 'Blue Valentine' stirred up some controversy when it got an NC-17 (adults only) rating in the United States because of an oral sex scene. That rating has since been reversed. At the time, what were your thoughts?
A: "It shocked me. It felt like a slap on the hand when I found out about it. When we shot that scene, both Ryan and Derek said to me, 'If this bothers you when you see it in the movie, we'll take it out.'"

Q: So when you saw it, did it bother you?
A: "I thought, 'I've never seen that before in a movie and I'm proud to be the first. Good on us for making that happen.' As the woman in the situation that was in question, I found absolutely nothing scandalous, tawdry or disgusting about it."

Michelle said...

Q: The studio fought to reverse it. Did you join them?
A: "I'm not by nature a fighter for stuff like that. I've learned to pick my battles and I've learned to not expect to change the minds of men (laughs). Prove me wrong, but that's what I've learned. As a woman, my natural inclination is to not get angry. I've talked about it, I've figured out my own feelings and I've written them on paper."

Q: You've worked in studio films, like this year's "Shutter Island," but you mostly stay in the independent world. Why?
A: "I like working on small movies with a small crew. I like the intimacy. I like that it feels like a family. That's part of the reason I think I still keeping doing it because I like setting up family."

Q: You recently wrapped shooting on "My Week with Marilyn" where you play Marilyn Monroe. Your hair is a bit Marilyn-like at the moment. Is the iconic star still in your system?
A: "I'm always surprised to find that even though I've been acting for so long, at the end of a movie I hold on for dear life. I just can't bear to see people go. I can't bear to see a character go. I can't bear to say good-bye. So I hang on for as long as I can."

Q: So you're still hanging?
A: (laughs) "I'm still hanging -- on a few fine threads!"

Sometimes I wonder if Anne and Jake played that couple in BV if they'd have pulled it off. I think they would have (Jake used to do this kind of drama in his indie years and was always good). Just like Ryan and Michelle would have pulled off the roles in LaOD.
One couple was lucky to get a good script, the other wasn't.

Jake Gyllenhaal: My family values

"I am inherently a little brother – that's just my nature. It has to do with my sister being very strong and wanting to protect me. It's the natural order of things. That's the way my sister feels about me in every aspect of my life – my work, my relationships. Women have to pass her test. That's very hard for girlfriends. But I love that about Maggie."

Jake Gyllenhaal: My family values said...

When I was young, before school, my father would wake me up and we would go running together. A love of being physical, being active and being outside was something he instilled in me. My parents also taught me to feel comfortable about my body. They told me that there is beauty in whatever you are. That belief has given me – and my sister [the actor Maggie Gyllenhaal] – more courage on a physical level to take chances in my work, like Brokeback Mountain or Love and Other Drugs, in which Annie [Hathaway] and I are naked for much of the time. So many movies are all about sex or love. I hope young people will see this movie and see that love and sex can actually be connected.

Jake's employers said...

SHUT THE FUCK UP,you selfcondescending Buddha wannabe and start making some money or else....!

Jake said...

Wait a second, I'll ask Maggie what she thinks about that!

Jake: " My family values" said...

Upbringing is fascinating. Both my parents are extraordinary people. They were black sheep in their families. My mother's parents were doctors. My father came from a very small town in Pennsylvania. They were writers, working from job to job, trying to make movies together and still do to this day.


We were raised in Los Angeles near the unfashionable Eastside. Home was like a circus, with writers and filmmakers coming in and out. We had a room above the garage rented by Steven Soderbergh – before he was Steven Soderbergh. We were brought up with a great respect of storytelling.


My mum raised us on classic movies and a lot of musical theatre. The first thing she ever took me to was Yul Brynner in The King and I, when I was three. I remember Guys and Dolls, and seeing Angels in America, the original show, when I was 13. I was mesmerised.

When we were younger, there was a typical sibling competition between us. She was always telling me what to do. I always lost – no matter what. We would put on a performance of Cats and I would be the poor lone cat sitting in the corner while my sister performed. I never got to be the star. But I really don't feel that competition any more. We are very different people. We care about seeing each other, we want to inspire each other.

Anonymous said...

Both my parents, my mother in particular, were always very socially conscious. My mother would say that there are people who have so much money who don't give any of it away and there other people who have much less money, who give more than the richest people in the world. It should all be about giving something back.


They were relatively progressive in their spiritual beliefs: my father is Christian and my mother is Jewish. On my 13th birthday, they thought it was important for me to experience a rite of passage, an entrance into manhood, and the consensus was that we would do something for the good of the community, some charitable work – a barmitzvah-like act, without the typical trappings. So we went to a homeless shelter and we did some work there and then I had the party – the celebration – there.


We were taught by our parents that in the end family is all you've got. Family is all that matters.

Rumor has it Source Code ain't good either. Meaning that movie won't save his career either.
It's unfortunate, but his career reached a law that he may not come out of anytime soon or anymore. Look at Josh Hartnett, Orlando Bloom and the likes. Sometimes it goes like that. There's a new batch of up and comers like Franco, JGL, Gosling and others, we'll see if they can sustain their current success.

I'm sure family is important to Jake. But I think Jake's drive for attention, A-list status, etc. comes first.

I also get the feeling Jake spends so much time with family because he's run so deep into the closet that they're the only ones he can be with and not be afraid of something getting out that he doesn't want to get out.

That movie Jake seems to be making is full of people whose careers are going nowhere fast, including De Niro (who just bombed in the Fockers, Hilary Swank (saw an article on her late last year about her career being in the dumps), SJP (SATC is over) and many others.

Seems to me it would be better to not work than to be in a project like that.

At least he is talking about families and positive things and not the houses he owns and cars and crap that other people talk about.

DiCaprio only had 2 or 3 flops after Titanic and before his career started to take off. He's been highly successful ever since.

DeNiro introduced DiCaprio to Scorsese and the rest is history. That boy's one lucky guy. There are many actors as solid as he is or better, but he's getting to always work with Scorsese and other great directors.

What is being written here has nothing to do with DeNiro or Franco or DiCaprio. It has to do with Jacob B. Gyllenhaal and his actions and career path. All those interviews discussing family values are nothing but retreads from earlier quotes. The gushing about Maggie is new because he's trying to clean up the mess of why his sister is picking out his girlfriends. This is a pattern with Jake. Someone points out a problem with his explanations so he comes up with an even sillier one to replace it.

It's so obvious Jake is gay and deep in the closet it isn't even debatable anymore. Don't know why he just can't live his life without manufacturing all this nonsense to promote an uber heterosexuality. If he has his own family, it really will be interesting to see how he extricates himself from this mess. Because that kid (or kids) is gonna have it rough as they try to make their way in the world. People think all you need is love, but children need honesty and a father who loves and honors them by acknowledging their existence. Rationalization thy name is Jake Gyllenhaal.

I agree with Destiny about his so-called closeness to Maggie. He needs to keep his inner circle incestrous so his secret is safe. That's why it looks like he's never grown up. Peter Pan and Wendy anyone?

"Jake's being accused of being a liar based on BIs form an internet gossip columnist and wishful thinking."

Him not being a liar means he had/has a relationship with Ms Witherspoon and Ms Swift.

I prefer the liar.

"I believe Franco has more skeletons in his closet than Jake."

I don´t follow Franco so I know nothing about his "skeletons", but the headlines I read about him are usually about his film projects, not his "girlfriends".

His film gets rave reviews, he will be nominated for an Oscar, he will be co-hosting the Oscars.

And I assure you he is the one who will be getting the good film offers first.

Jake is actually filming NYE - is there really nothing else?

It's very obvious they are close. Jake loves his family and loves spending time with them. Like it or not.

It has to do with Jacob B. Gyllenhaal and his actions and career path.

No, it's complaining about everything he says or does that does not fit your ideal Jake. You want him to be someone who you probably realize more and more he is not and never will be. You can complain till you turn blue.

You should reread Jake's quote, he didn't say Maggie chooses his girlfriends, but she gives her approval or not. I doubt that he always listens to her though.

If he has his own family, it really will be interesting to see how he extricates himself from this mess. Because that kid (or kids) is gonna have it rough as they try to make their way in the world.

This is insanity to believe that guy has hidden children somewhere. It is beyond delusional and creepy for people even considering it to be true.

I just came across a very interesting article in the NYT from a couple of weeks ago about teaching gay actors, don't know if it has already been discussed here.

Act Out Class Helps Gay Actors

destiny said...

In case blogger eats it, the link for the article on teaching gay actors is below:

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/13/theater/13actout.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=gay%20actors&st=cse

destiny said...

Mr. Calcaterra said he started Act Out because he was tired of seeing so many of his gay students undergo what he called a “contraction, not an expansion” of their talents as they dealt with years of shame, guilt and other byproducts of life as a sexual minority. Many students felt a fear, unconscious or not, he explained, that if their real selves were exposed in the audition room or onstage, they would be rejected, as they had been by family or friends in their personal lives.

“It’s almost as if the gay actor has a proving ground,” said Mr. Calcaterra, who is gay. “Once you get across that hurdle of that held energy or secrecy, there’s that piece where you’re recognizable as a talent.”

Mr. Calcaterra said he was also disheartened that heterosexual actors walk into auditions confident in their ability to play gay characters convincingly, especially the more camp roles, and without any internal perceived flaws.

“Why does Bob over here with three kids do the most over-the-top, flamboyant gay character?” he said. “Because most gay men will spend their whole lives not trying to be the sissy, the pansy, the queer. You spend a whole lifetime trying to not be that, and then you find out that with that you lose a lot of yourself, including talent.”

I don't think Jake "deserves" to fail because of his hiding, etc. I think he is failing in his career because hiding and not being himself has hurt his charisma and appeal. I think his pr choices have hurt him because people don't want to read six page spreads of how "Jake and Taylor are in Love". And the ones that do certainly don't seem to have any interest in going to his movies.

Because of the internet more and more people can spot a phony, and they don't like it. People are starting to catch on and stay away from bad movies that are all about the marketing and nothing else. Valentine's Day got raked over the coals by the critics, but did okay because of when it opened. Do you really thing NYE, with a planned opening date in December, is going to have them flocking into the theaters?

Jealous Jake is spending time with his mom, Maggie, Peter, Ramona and no sight of his BTs (who actually do not exist!!!). Very transparent.

Actually the showmance appears to be over. No birthdays christmas or new years together. Swifts camp must have realized they gained nothing from this bearding arrangement and are moving on to the next.

But YOU know who he really is? How? Do you know him personally?
You are one of those people who want Jake to behave they way YOU want him to.

I for one found him very charming and appealing promoting LAOD with Anne H. and judging by comments on ONTD or youtube and other boards mostly seemed to like them doing the promo.

People don't like him with Taylor Swift, but that's another story.

Having another meltdown Jack?

What I don't get is why the people who complain that we're being too negative about Jake's career don't seem to really care what is going on with his career. If you really cared about Jake you would want to see him do things that might help his career, instead of defending his actions. Seems to me it's you who doesn't like Jake, not the people here who talk honestly about his actions and career.

destiny said...

I know Bomer is not a big star, but you know what, more people watch White Collar each week (about 5 million) than have seen LAOD (about 4 million, if you figure an average of $8 a ticket and $32 million in sales).

IHJ put up some photos of Jake on Dec. 31 from one of his photo shoots, they've had about 150 views.

Matt Bomer's fan site put up photos from a photo shoot on Dec. 31 too, some of the photos have over 600 views.

But keep telling yourself that what Jake is doing is doing wonders for his career.

Destiny, Destiny, Destiny. You don't care about his career, all you care is Jake coming out (even though you don't have any proof he's gay. Possibilities that he may be bi or bi curious are a no no for you). The difference between posters like you and real fans is that real fans truly worry about his career, you and your likes think he deserves to fail because he's not the way you want him to be. In your mind if he came out, his career and career choices will immediately improve. I'm betting most fans do not approve of his decision to do NYE.

Seems to me it's you who doesn't like Jake, not the people here who talk honestly about his actions and career.

Good for Bomer for being an openly gay, successful actor. Same goes for NPH. You should support and applaud those actors and not stalk an actor you think or wish was gay. And diss him for not coming out. WTF?

I never said I knew Jake personally or that he was straight. But I don't believe everything he says is a lie. He may very well be bi or he was bi curious in the past.
I don't agree with him doing NYE and I feel bad for him for having unsuccessful 5 years in his job. But I still like him as an actor and enjoy his charm and quick wit in interviews.

You would be surprised how much I know about Jake Gyllenhaal. If you think it's a secret that he's gay you're sadly mistaken.

I for one found him very charming and appealing promoting LAOD with Anne H. and judging by comments on ONTD or youtube and other boards mostly seemed to like them doing the promo.

You find someone talking about having sex 16 or 17 times with Anne Hathaway, lewd sexual innuendo about the joy of being naked, how much he couldn't wait to get his clothes off, charming? Well, to each his own. My most favorite interviews, however, are the ones where he tries to project an ersatz seriousness by stating how he doesn't understand why people just focus on the sex in LAOD. Gee, I wouldn't know why, Jake?

I've seen several videos associated with this lightweight, mediocre, PR blitz where not only the interviewer, but Anne herself has had enough of his joking around. Like the one where she said she was neutral about taking the part and Jake was offended and tried to argue with her. I admire that she didn't give in, actually. By surrounding himself with family, Jake has a distorted view of just how well he is doing. As a result, he continues to have his career managed by so-called "professionals" who are only interested in getting their cut and staying in control. As long as Jake continues to let others call the shots, his career will keep on sputtering along, until parts will be few and far between. At least, the challenging ones. Part of growing up is striking out on your own, not still living with your sister and brother-in-law, mother and niece. It's call independence and maturity. Some call it, adulthood.

Why does the sex talk in LAOD bother you? Because he is talking about sex with a woman?
Outside of Jake's fandom I didn't read about any complaints about too much sex talk by him.

He joked a lot about sex in his interviews yes, but Anne mostly goes along. It's just jokes after all. Why take it so seriously?

Btw. Jake is not living with Maggie. He is there to spend Christmas with them. And stay there until he finishes the movie.

Anonymous said...

Who talks about sex incessantly like Jake did on this recent media junket? The movie is entitled, LOVE and other Drugs...not SEX and other Drugs. It's one thing to talk about sexuality with meaning, and within the context of the story, but when you're just using the topic to push the fact that you love vagina, then it's pretty darn boring and pointless. He can't talk about himself, because he's in the closet and, therefore, has no "on the record" personal life. That's why he has beards. To give him a veneer of normality. But, then the interviewers are told they can't ask him any questions about them either. As a result, Jake comes off as shallow and silly. He has no point of reference that he's allowed to draw upon other than the family members he grew up. That's why his stories are tiresome and strain credulity to the breaking point.

There's tons of credible proof that Jake is gay. You just choose to ignore it. From manufactured beards to the sudden expungement of Austin from his life, to his complete unwillingness to be associated with anything gay since he went into the closet in 2007. Living a lie, changes you. That's why Jake is becoming less and less relevant in the movie business. It's a shame because he sure had a whole lot of promise and seems like, once you get past his fake persona, a tenderhearted, bright, and caring individual.

That planned photoshoot with Austie's beard in late May of this year is hardly a picture of two buds going to a basketball game or restaurant like they used to, is it? No, since Jake was pushed into the closet he can only be seen with "horndogs" like Adam Levine. By the way, you forgot to mention the discovered photo of Austin with Jake, in Leadville, this past August. The photo no one was supposed to see until an ultramarathon runner innocently posted it on his personal blog.

Once again, I know bisexual men. They don't need beards! Back in 2004-05, I use to think that Jake was bi, but once he went into the closet, and started hooking up with beards that theory went out the window. Jake is gay. Pure and simple. The problem is that he continues to try to fake who he is so he can be accepted by mainstream audiences.

YOU know nothing of the inner workings or the true person JG. You don't. During those year he could have had women or men or both sent to his hotels while on locations. This example is only one, of what you and I don't know about this person, so stop acting as if you've got the scoop because you don't.

Except for Swifty, Jake seems to have joined some kind of HW circle of downwardly mobile artists trying to all help each other back to the top. Just read an article about the music business in 2010, and it said that Maroon 5 was one of the acts that struggled on the road this year, and had to cut ticket prices to try and get people to come to their concerts.
