When The World Was Young

Heath Ledger 1988Heath Ledger and unknown boy, 1988


Ah, the apple trees,
Blossoms in the breeze,
That we walked among,
Lying in the hay,
Games we used to play,
While the rounds were sung,
Only yesterday, when the world was young.

Angele Vannier and Johnny Mercer

Brolin: Travolta "Practiced Scientology" on Brando said...

Josh Brolin once turned to the Church of Scientology during a time of desperation and recalls a dinner party in which John Travolta "practiced Scientology" on Marlon Brando in an article in The New Yorker.

The magazine has published a lengthy account of Oscar-winning screenwriter-director Paul Haggis's rejection of the religion, popular with many celebrities such as Travolta and Tom Cruise, due primarily to its support of the antigay Proposition 8 in California.

One of the people interviewed for the piece is True Grit star Brolin. In the article titled "The Apostate: Paul Haggis vs. the Church of Scientology," The New Yorker states:

Brolin says that he once witnessed John Travolta practicing Scientology. Brolin was at a dinner party in Los Angeles with Travolta and Marlon Brando. Brando arrived with a cut on his leg, and explained that he had injured himself while helping a stranded motorist on the Pacific Coast Highway. He was in pain. Travolta offered to help, saying that he had just reached a new level in Scientology. Travolta touched Brando’s leg and Brando closed his eyes. “I watched this process going on — it was very physical,” Brolin recalls. “I was thinking, This is really fucking bizarre! Then, after ten minutes, Brando opens his eyes and says, ‘That really helped. I actually feel different!’”

A representative for Travolta told The New Yorker that Brolin's story is “pure fabrication.”

Jake Gyllenhaal and Carey Mulligan: What's Love Got to Do With It? said...

When we called up friends of Love and Other Drugs stud-puppy Jake Gyllenhaal, they told us they were pretty worried.

Everyone was talking about Jake and Carey Mulligan having had a few "dates" together over the weekend. First, when Jake went to see his sister and brother-in-law, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Skarsgaard, in a play, and Carey just happened to be there, too.

And then Jake went to hear a band play in Nashville, Carey just happened to be there, too! "They may have been together, but they aren't together," insisted our Jake bud.

Gosh, isn't that kind of weird, being in New York, then Nashville in the same weekend, but only coincidentally?

"[Carey and Jake] have a number of mutual friends," offered our Jakey insider. "These same friends know Peter and Maggie, and I'm telling you, Carey just happened to be in Nashville, as well. I'm pretty sure she's dating somebody else."

Yeah, let's hope that somebody is Tom Sturridge, unless Carey's already through that one, too, 'cause, heaven knows, after putting up with ex Shia LaBeouf and his cranky ass.

And you know that sure could be sweetie Jake.

But again, the Gyllenhaal bud was adamant about the fact that Jake and Carey are only "friends." Damn, I just have a feeling we're not being told the whole truth about crafty Jake's personal life here. And I'm not even sure it has anything do with Carey, at all. Dude's up to something...

Oh, completely forgot the most fun part!

You see, when Jake was in Nashville, he made certain not to see a certain somebody who he used to, uh, get coffee with.

Taylor Swift, was that her name?

Can't quite recall.

If he was going to hook up with Nichols, why not just fly directly to NC from NY? Then go to Nashville for the house party then go back to LA/NY, makes more sense.

Jake was in Nashvile to see Mumford and sons, period.

Jake would have been spotted in NC, too many OTH fans lurking about.


According to the jaustaloons, everything Jake does has to do with Austin and visa versa, it's like they don't have an idependent life/friends, besides why would he do that when he has 3 dozen BT's???

How nice! said...

This award-winning actor has always led a double life. He married his beard, but it was never a real marriage. Just a business partnership. Then he got a new acting gig… and a new twink boyfriend… and a new beard. Poor wifey, right? Not at all. She knew what the deal was all along. Besides, she’s not exactly moping around her gilded cage of a house. She’s had a boyfriend in the wings the whole time.

That's not what Lainey said. Obviously we're not being told the whole truth and Jake is crafty about his personal life and has been for years and it's true that that has nothing to do with Carey.

Gemma Ward: Heath Ledger Was One of a Kind

JJ said...

Gemma Ward graces the cover of the Daily Telegraph’s Sunday magazine.

Here’s what the 23-year-old Aussie model and actress had to share:

On meeting Heath Ledger in New York in 2007: “We were both struggling with things that I won’t get into and we bonded over that. At first I said, ‘Listen, my mum’s living with me right now and I’m going through a hard time. I’m not interested in having a serious relationship,’ and he said, ‘Let’s just be there for each other through these hard times.’ And we developed a relationship and started seeing each other.”

On her memories about Heath: “He was an incredible person, unlike anybody I’ve ever met – and will meet ever again. He was one of a kind and extremely sensitive, extremely open, extremely honest, extremely generous, extremely energetic. He had time for everybody, no matter who you were. He was such an amazing talent.”

On her character in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides: “Tamara is the typical siren. And what I found interesting about the mermaids in this movie is that the producers stayed true to mermaid mythology. The original story of The Little Mermaid was very gruesome – a lot of these old fairytales are.”

On her career: “I wasn’t a child [when I started out]; I was a teenager. I wasn’t all that innocent, either. I wasn’t taken advantage of – I knew what I was doing. I feel very powerful in myself now. I’m happy with where I am and I’m excited for my life and excited to embrace all aspects of it. I’m definitely not [regretful]. I look back on everything I’ve done with pride.”

Ah, good old Heath! ;) I read that he fucked behind Michelle's back too and behind Heather Graham's. Surprisingly I never heard that he cheated on Watts, except once he supposedly was flirting with ScarJo at an Oscar after party while with Watts. But that's all I've read/heard. He must have really liked and respected Ms. Watts.

There was a story on Holy Moly (rehashed by Lainey) when Michelle was filming "Incendiary" that Heath came to the set and told her that he fucked a girl in L.A. and he wanted to tell her before it somehow leaked to her. Michelle supposedly was so devastated that she let Ewan McGregor "comfort" her.

Heath/Michelle was such an odd pairing and unhealthy relationship imho, I always felt for Matilda. The little girl looks much happier nowadays. I remember people wondering why Matilda looked so sad most of the time when they saw her with Heath and Michelle... I remember vividly that that was a topic on various blogs. As I've said she looks like a happy child now. Seems Michelle is doing her mommy job well. :)

Anonymous said...

Heath screwed around behind Michelle's back very early. Michelle had a few more months of pregnancy when those sightings at Gawker happened. It was Heath with some hot brunette heavily making out at a movie and then going into a building at 3 am. Sadly it seems he tired of Michelle quickly. If it weren't for Matilda I think they would've lasted maybe a year.

Anonymous said...

How do you know it was Helena Christensen? The person who saw them said they didn't recognize the woman but that she was very pretty. Helena C. isn't pretty anymore, hasn't been for years. She is just as famous if not more famous than Heath. I find it hard to believe that a new yorker would recognize Heath but not Helena C.

Gawker Stalker:

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

Jul 27, 2005

I saw Heath Ledger go into an apartment building on West 19th St. on Monday at around 3 A.M. He was with a woman I didn't recognize. She was tall with brown hair, very pretty all around. They stopped and kissed before they went into the building. Judging by the kiss they have a great deal of passion for each other.

Anonymous said...

7:48, she may be older but she's still more attractive than A LOT of women. And I don't think she would be more famous than Heath. Her prime was early 1990s--and she was never as famous as Linda Evangelistica, Naomi Cambell and Christie Turlington.

Those sightings are sad considering that Michelle was heavily pregnant around that time. Heath, may he RIP, was incapable of monogamy.

I think a factor was him telling the women what they wanted to hear. I think he made his women feel special, put them on a pedastal until he got bored with them and moved on to another. He was a player.

Blue Valentine: How Derek Cianfrance Destroyed Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling's Marriage said...

Williams' performance earned her an Oscar nod. We don't see more than a few agreeable glimpses of her nipples and Gosling's rear end, but what's going on in their faces is graphic enough. Cianfrance shot the scene in the cramped bathroom of a real love motel in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, using two long-lens cameras, one following each actor as closely as possible. The violence of the edits between their spaces shows how far apart they have fallen.

Said Bening: "I think when something is a good movie, first of all, well made, entertaining to a degree, funny, maybe has some heart, that comes first. If you can open people's hearts first, then maybe people's minds get opened after that...I'm proud that the movie does stand up for the dignity of all families, especially for the kids in these families. Those children deserve the same self-respect and dignity about their own families as kids from straight parents...I hope that does open a few hearts and minds..."

As for not being able to afford a beard, nevermind the fact that Carey is a friend since all those British actors are incestuously linked to each other... He most likely comes from a money family. He went to Eton and played rugby with Prince William.

Zodiac said...

Posted on WDW
...
Fincher followed Seven with the Michael Douglas thriller The Game (1997); then, after Fight Club, he moved on to the Jodie Foster starrer Panic Room (2002) and Zodiac (2007), an adaptation of Robert Graysmith's books about the Bay Area killer who was active when Fincher grew up.

The film made only $33 million in North America but was one the best-reviewed pictures of the year. With it, Fincher solidified his reputation as a supremely talented filmmaker, if sometimes arrogant, whose work was defined by its brilliance and also coldness.
...
The desire to avoid that exhaustion came into play with Social Network.
...
Following the usual back and forth -- the studio wanted to make the film for $25 million; Fincher insisted on $42 million -- shooting began three months later. Unlike Zodiac, where Fincher and Sony had parted ways over casting, the studio accommodated the director's wishes.

"I said, 'You gotta have 20- to 25-year-old kids. You have to give me free rein to find the best people for these parts,' " he remembers. "Now, I said this on Zodiac and I got the list and it's Russell Crowe
 and Tom Cruise. This time, Amy wanted me to meet people in the Sony fold. I said, 'Let's cast it widely.' They came back and said, 'We get it. Go.' "

Jake Gyllenhaal is set to star in two films in 2011 said...

We'll be seeing a lot of the gorgeous actor in 2011 with his two upcoming films, "Source Code" and "Nailed."

We don't really need a reason to see Gyllenhaal on the big screen - but we've got you covered if you're looking for more info on the upcoming films.

The trailer for "Source Code" debuted before another one of Gyllenhaal's latest films, "Love and Other Drugs." Gyllenhaal stars as Captain Colter Stevens, a soldier sent into the body of another man during the last eight minutes of his life to try find the bomber of a Chicago commuter train. Of course, Gyllenhaal's character falls for a beautiful woman (played by Bridget Monaghan) and tries to save her from her ultimate fate while solving the crime.

Sounds pretty intense to us.

The film - set to be released on April 1 - is one of the headlining films in the 2011 South by Southwest Film Festival set to start in March. You know Gyllenhaal will be there to promote the film, so book your tickets to Austin now!

Gyllenhaal's second film of the year is "Nailed." Described as a interesting take on romance, "Nailed" stars Gyllenhaal as Howard Birdwell, a young senator who falls for a small-town waitress (played by Jessica Biel) who accidently got a nail lodged in her head. Gyllenhaal's character takes up her cause - but will love prevail?

"Nail" was filmed back in 2008 is currently in post-production and is scheduled for release sometime later this year. We're looking forward to these films - but we're always ready for a good Jake Gyllenhaal flick.

David O. Russel (director for 'Nailed') also directed 'The Fighter' (90% on Rotten Tomatoes), 'I Heart Huchabees' (62% on RT), 'Uncovered: The War on Iraq' (77% on RT), 'Three Kings' (94% on RT), 'Flirting With Disaster' (86% on RT), and 'Spanking the Monkey' (90% on RT).

So... going by the reviews, he hasn't actually made a bad movie yet. It'd be pretty unfortunate if this one would be his first 'rotten' film. 'Source Code' I don't know, but 'Nailed' might actually be really good looking at the director's track record.

Gosling said...

Having had enough with the craft services available on independent film sets, Ryan Gosling would like to move onto projects with better food. Or an espresso maker at the very least.

Gosling has signed on to eat unlimited omelettes and star in the Warner Bros. remake of Logan’s Run for Nicolas Winding Refn. Set in the future, the film follows a sensitive yet muscular man as he outruns a mandatory death sentence on the eve of his 30th birthday.

This will be Gosling’s second time working with Nicolas Winding Refn, having just completed Drive together and his first foray into big screen action. Be warned, Jake Gyllenhaal. Ryan Gosling is trying to become you. (Deadline)

Well, Ryan is good actor, but hardly next action star :)

Thing is, Jake is losing steam and directors start casting other talented actors his age group. We know Jake wanted the role in Farragut North aka The Ides of March. Clooney went with Gosling.

I wonder if Destiny is right and it's not Jake being lazy, but not being offered good parts? I hope his career won't end up like Bloom's or Hartnett's.

To be an action star you need a certain face.

Reading the internet fora and blogs, I noticed women find him more attractive than DiCaprio (many dislike his bloated face) or Jake (some find him to look too goofy) or Ryan Reynolds etc. Ryan Gosling obviusly has something that women and gay men find very attractive. You rarely read complaints about his looks. I'm sure you noticed too.

Could be, but if that's the case Jake should try harder to find work, not just wait for another great script or leading role.

It is not about being attractive or unattractive, it's about looking masculine, having the right voice or having it.

I have benn wondering the same thing. Have Directors realized that Jake is just not that talented? Jake threw his stardom away. He wants fame and is lazy when it comes to developing his skills.

You think he's not that talented? I thought he was good in PoP. He played the part convincingly and the British accent was fine. But yeah, he needs to do more. Even though I think Jake is ok, Gosling is way more talented. Of course if directors have to choose between both, they'd choose Gosling.
Jake needs to practice more. IDK.

This is one I'd gladly be wrong about.

I think Jake is a good actor, unlike Bloom and others who have gone nowhere after early hits. But I think he has a somewhat limited range, and I think he is now perceived by the business as someone who can't put butts in the seats.

Also seems like a lot of the directors he's worked with recently have also not been at the top of their game, like Sheridan, Newell and Zwick, or have a reputation of being difficult to work for, like Russell--and the Fighter was a work for hire, not his own project unlike his earlier movies. Not sure what that says about Jake.

I think Jake is very aware that he doesn't put butts in seats. An interviewer brought up Jake's leading man status and Jake said he didn't see himself as leading man, to carry that title you have to deliver. That's what he said in a recent interview.

He needs a good supporting role and/or be part of a good ensemble.

Anonymous said...

Since BBM Jake hasn't got bad reviews but he hasn't got awful ones either. He has tried the leading man role and The Super Hero. Neither is going to win him an Oscar. Nope Jake is not going to put asses in the seats but a good movie will. I think Jake will have more success if he is patient and smart at picking his roles. He certainly needs to reevaluate and get some fresh advice. The advice he is getting now stinks.

Jake is a good actor - BBM has shown what he can do. But he is not working his ass off to disappear in his roles or to widen his range. Also he had a bit of bad luck with his latest films.

And what is he doing the whole time? Between shootings? Attending concerts, shopping a bit, coffee, flying from NY to Nashville for a concert, flying back. Not everyone can be like Franco but I don´t see anything interesting beyond acting with Jake.

But perhaps this is what he wants - shooting a movie from time to time and otherwise enjoying his free time with doing nothing. When I saw him in BBM I thought he was an interesting intelligent guy but now I think he is just boring.

Jake got some good reviews for Zodiac, including from the NYT. I love that film, and so do most of the critics, but unfortunately like POP it was not marketed properly. Don't think Jake gets any blame for that film not doing well, particularly with RDJ in it.

I thought he was very good in Brothers, as did friends (i.e. not Jake fans) who saw it. But the movie itself was not very good.

“National Green Schools” - I love that project. If I were Jake, I would use my celebrity friends and acquaintances to get in contact with the First Lady and think of a way to do promo for "kids should eat healthy food" campaign.

OSCAR: Hammond Polls Academy Voters said...

For this Oscar year, I conducted my informal poll by phone or in person. So here are my findings to date: I am picking up some interesting trends. Not just the expected strong support for The King’s Speech (it’s real), but also a surprising amount of backing for The Fighter. It has been the most mentioned movie after The Social Network and could figure significantly by drawing mostly first- and second-place votes. The Social Network also drew many mentions. Although some of the people I spoke with have already cast their ballots, most have not (at least when I talked to them). Members are supposed to be discreet about revealing their voting, but many were generous in sharing their thought process at this point as long as they remain anonymous.

Here are some snapshots from the conversations:
...
Marketing person with an uncanny knack for voting winners: “I loved Black Swan and will definitely vote for Natalie. For Best Picture, The King’s Speech and Colin Firth and Geoffrey Rush, too. Supporting Actress, I like Melissa Leo. For Best Director, I think I will go with Tim.” [When I asked who “Tim” was, she said "the director of Kings Speech" -- so count that as a vote for Tom Hooper.]

Former studio head: “I liked The King’s Speech. I don’t really get Inception. I have to say The Social Network is the film among the 10 nominees that I was most impressed with. My favorites were Fair Game and Barney’s Version, but since they weren’t nominated, it’s The Social Network. For Best Actress, definitely Annette Bening.”

First-time voter: “Inception for Best Picture. But I also liked The Fighter and think if anything could upset, it’s that. It’s a really good movie. I am voting for David O. Russell as Best Director. And for Melissa Leo. Javier Bardem for Best Actor because he was clearly in a separate class. And Annette Bening for actress. I have seen everything. I’m trying to be a good voter. ”

Us Weekly video said...

Here we go again?

Last week, Jake Gyllenhaal stepped out in Manhattan with another pretty young thing: Carey Mulligan. After catching his sister Maggie's play Feb. 3, the actor, 30, and the British starlet, 25, supped together the next evening at Italian eatery Lupa.

Their encore? The cute duo turned up the next night at a late-night concert in Nashville -- where Gyllenhaal's ex Taylor Swift lives!

So what's going on between the pair?

From dipshitz Lainey today:

Careful while you’re using

Young pretty star lives the fast life, parties hard on the circuit. A lot of access, a lot of money, not much responsibility, not unlike so many privileged twentysomethings, only his problem is that the rage comes out when he uses. On several occasions, he’s been so violent, they’ve had to hold him back from causing serious damage to his friends. On one occasion, he beat the sh-t out of one of his boys. The aftermath is always tearful, he’s always ashamed by his behaviour which, sadly, stems from the shame he feels about the fact that he’d prefer dating men, but is afraid to admit it. He resorts to sneaking around, is paranoid that he’ll be found out, and is frustrated that he has to go to such lengths to hide his hookups. It doesn’t help that professionally he’s been cautioned against being honest about being gay.

Shia?? Maybe Carey Mulligan really is a professional beard. Maybe she's done this before.

I don't hold it against the beards. I've been a beard. He was a good friend and we hung out all the time anyway, so I was happy to help out. He never made it past a few video appearances and one TV show that eventually got canceled, but hey - we tried! It's the whole hollywood machine that is f*cked. I think a lot of people in the industry knew my friend was gay, but it wasn't an issue yet. No one REALLY cares until you start making money there, because then there is money to be made off you. That's when the "advice" starts. That's why I totally buy that Leo attempted to come out before Basketball Diaries, but then the closet door shut with a bang and the next thing you know, he's dating Bridget Hall.

James and Leo said...

James Franco is in talks to star as the lead role Kaneda in the live action feature-film Akira, JustJared.com has exclusively confirmed.

The flick will be based off of anime artist Katsuhiro Otomo’s six-volume cyberpunk manga (Japanese word for comics). The film is set in New Manhattan, where the leader of a biker gang saves his friend from a medical experiment. Warner Bros. has tapped director Albert Hughes (The Book of Eli) to helm the project, along with Leonardo DiCaprio’s production company Appian Way.

Public appearances and tweets is beardlike behavior. Look how Swiftenhaal started, backstage at SNL. Were they together or weren't they? This is the same sh*t, different blonde. Now US Weekly tells us Carey and Jake had dinner after the Broadway show, together. That story came from somewhere.

For someone who was sick when he got off that airplane late last week, Jake sure is getting around. He looked physically ill at the Three Sisters opening on February 3rd and there were several pictures of him hacking away and looking miserable on IHJ. Yet, we are to believe Jake was running around town going out to dinner, singing at the top of his lungs at some exclusive house party, staying up to 4:00 a.m, etc.

It's obvious that PR is trying to give the impression that he's a swinging single (non family) man on the prowl. It's easier that pairing him with another beard. Less demand on his free time.

Interesting how the "exclusives" on Jake and Carey in Nashville were on Lainey Gossip. She had the "exclusive" last year with Jake and that Isabel one-date beard in Toronto, right? At least that one was in Canada, so believable that Lainey would have sources there. Why does Lainey always have the exclusives on Jake being with chicks, and she also happens to be the sole gossip mouthpiece for JIS? Isn't too hard to put this one together. If Jake and Carey run in the same circle and are friends, fine - it's believable that they'd hang out. But why involve the tabloids? Who called the gossip columnist in Vancouver with the info and video from Nashville? Jake's people. Who told US Weekly that Jake and Carey had dinner the day after the Broadway show at Lupa? Jake's people.

I think I'll call this one "Cake." Has a nice ring to it.

Tom Cruise is bringing the ’80s back, with or without a Top Gun sequel. The actor is closing a deal to star as womanizing rocker Stacee Jaxx in Adam Shankman’s big-screen adaptation of the Tony-nominated Broadway musical Rock of Ages, his rep confirms. In the stage show, the character sings Bon Jovi’s “Wanted Dead or Alive” and is a part of other numbers including “I Wanna Know What Love Is.” He also receives a lap danc, and takes more than one punch. News of Cruise being courted for the film was first reported in October.

I have no ides if Eddie Redmayne is gay, bi or straight but he was in a movie with Tom Sturridge (Robert Pattinson's alleged boyfriend) and they have so much chemistry. You can cut the sexual tension with a knife. And their characters aren't even gay. I wouldn't be surprised at all if something was going on between them during filming.

Two men and a woman. The one guy is kinda weird, he's not very friendly to me. The woman is ok, the third guy I don't work as closely with as the other two, but he's ok. The first month at work when I had questions they were annoyed by me. But I learned quickly, so now it's better.
It's kind of awkward sitting there and listen to them planning their evening after work and ignoring me. I don't know why they would snub me. Yes, I'm a bit shy, but I think I come off as nice and I'm open once I know people better.

Thanks for your answer 6:39 PM. I figured it's nothing good to be snubbed like that. I just don't know the reason. It's ok!
