Last year, I made a big deal about Ricky Martin’s coming out.
Revisiting the blog piece today, I realize I was somehow evoking the spirit of the It Gets Better Project. And while I continue extremely critical of this campaign (for many reasons, not the least are its ageist and classist narratives), I do believe the visualization of imagined possibility is important. For the young boy who, like myself in my early teen years, finds himself living in rural México, seeing a public figure with pop culture prominence spanning a few decades might help in the process of imagining and/or visualizing what being a Brown man who loves other men might look like.
Later in the year, I wrote a piece titled “How Ricky Martin is Changing the Face of Latino Fatherhood,” based on Ricky and his two sons' (Valentino and Matteo) appearance on the cover of People En Español’s father’s day issue. Given People En Español’s circulation, the image of an openly gay Latino father and his children, would be in countless Latina/o supermarkets and living rooms. Yet again, the image of Ricky’s queer Latinidad was helping us imagine a more expansive Latinidad that includes more of us.
With Ricky’s reemergence into the public light, we had the opportunity to see a queer Latino strike down racist stereotypes about inherent homophobia in our communities. Perhaps the best example was on The View when Ricky responded to Joy Behar’s suggestion that his culture kept him from coming out. In a moment that made him even more beautiful in my eyes, Ricky refuses to take the bait and simply states that people all over the world are struggling with their sexuality. (Thank you!)
This morning, Ricky's new album "Música + Alma + Sexo" hit stores and I typed faster than my queer fingers could to download it on iTunes. Refusing to shy away from the "sex" in sexuality by daring to have the word "Sexo" in the title of the album, I am excited to see where Ricky takes us as an openly queer historically sensual performer.
Watching two brown men in an affectionate embrace in the “Lo Mejor De Mi Vida Eres Tú” video, I’m pretty darn sure Ricky will continue to matter to me… and maybe a few other boys.

«Oldest ‹Older 1801 – 2000 of 2198 Newer› Newest»I forgot about Puerto Rico. :)
Tiger was disgusting, I hate to say it. :( His poor wife - those skanks he was with. Ewww!
I knew immediately when I heard his wife smashed his car with a golf club, what had happened. :(
12:32 Except when they blab to Ted, the only source for TT! And Jaxson and Halperin just used TT crap for thier fiction.
If jake and Austin have a home in L.A., there is no need for jake to arrange for sex in a dressing room before an interview, what are they, 12 yeas old?
Celebities have relationships they keep from the public and gay men, in particular, take their boyfriends places in Hollywood all the time.
They don't hide them in dressing rooms while doing talk shows, that would be stupid and pointless.
Closeted actors don't take their BF's to talk shows and have sex with them in dresing rooms dummy.
That's Ted's fanfic, there is no other source for this other than Ted.
People behind the scenes would be gossiping all over the place if that really happened.
Even if Jake had a drink before the show...which I doubt, that would not explain the vivid flush that spread across his entire throat. The thing was glaring at you for the entire interview.
And, who cares if Austin is in Indonesia? Like someone already said, that's got nothing to do with Jake having a flush that resembles a post orgasmic surge. Oh, excuse me. A mind blowing, post orgasmic flush.
Sorry a shot of liquor cannot duplicate that kind of "telling" physical response.
Just like purple prose. ;)
Absolutely florid! Jake's neck, I mean. ;)
Austin had to pack up to leave NC. Who knows about Puerto Rico. Maybe he was there.
Austin could pack and go directly to LA, he didn't have to go to PR first.
Austin was in Puerto Rico, there is picture of him and Sophia and a fan + he can't lie about being there when there are OTH people who would know about his lies.
Oh, excuse me. A mind blowing, post orgasmic flush.
Austin is still the only gay guy in LA under 50? I thought so!
Jake can have sex only with Austin! DUH!
LOL! No one is suggesting that Jake arranged to have sex in the dressing room. Wow, you guys are more than stupid. If Jake wanted Austin with him for support, things probably just evolved naturally.
Propinquity makes people horny. Particularly, when two people have been apart and they know they other is going on a trip for a ten days. Geesh!
How would you know that an orgasm can produce a purple neck 12:42, you sound like you haven't had sex since Reagan was in the WH and you no zero about gay men.
People have different responses to drinking booze.
Liquor can produce rednes of neck, ears, nose face depending on the person.
You are pissed that Austin is in Indonesia, your desperate fanfic spinning is not only pathetic but homophobic and insulting.
Homophobic because you think that all gay men think about is getting laid no matter where and insulting to Jake to think that he woud be so dum and unprofessional.
Urges and risk taking my ass. There is no proof that he likes doing stuff like that except for some stories floating around when jake was with kiki and then Ted using that and writing his fiction about parked cars and dressing rooms.
BTW, I think we found out who wrote that FB letter to Ted and probably harrassed Mama G, SK deleted the FB comment and put on the mod.
The comment was cut and pasted fromhere.
Austin was in Puerto Rico, there is picture of him and Sophia and a fan +
Oh, that's right. One picture that could have been taken anywhere. And, like someone says, who cares where Austin was on March 19-20. It's where he was on March 23 that counts.
Certainly closeted actors take their boyfriends places, including talk shows.
Sure, they take them everywhere because that is what CLOSETED men do. And they just love to make them wait in dressing rooms because it's a good way to show their affection.
Liquor can produce rednes of neck, ears, nose face depending on the person.
Yeah, maybe if someone had just drunk a lot of booze. If Jake had a drink, which is unlikey because he's offstage just about to come on, it would in no way be the cause of the intense and lingering redness that was isolated on his throat. Neither his ears nor his face were flushed.
I have plenty of sex thank you. So yeah, I know how it works.
No one is suggesting that Jake arranged to have sex in the dressing room.
READ posts.
If Jake wanted Austin with him for support, things probably just evolved naturally.
Jake isn't 10 years old, he doesn't need support for doing a talk show.
Make up your mind - one day Jake's PR is faking sightings because it is too dangerous for Jake and Austin to even be in the same city, next day Jake doens't give a shit about hiding and is taking Austin to a studio not caring if people see them together - which is it?
If Jake had a drink, which is unlikey...
But it is likely that Jake took Austin with him so he could have sex just before the show?
And, like someone says, who cares where Austin was on March 19-20. It's where he was on March 23 that counts.
Who cares about common sense, right?
It is not important that Austin doesn't give a shit about being with Jake, but it is imortant that he stoped by LA for a day before going away without Jake.
Sure, they take them everywhere because that is what CLOSETED men do. And they just love to make them wait in dressing rooms because it's a good way to show their affection.
Didn't say closeted actors take their boyfriends everywhere. At least, not publicly. But, yes gay actors do take their boyfriends places. Off the record. In other words, it's not allowed to be reported.
I see the troll is trying the common sense argument again. You know, the one where he explains Jake's crimson red throat with him being rip roaring drunk before going on a nationally broadcast talk show. Yeah, that's a really common sense argument. Talk about grasping at straws.
How did a drink evolve into rip roaring drunk? You guys are funny, keep it up. :)
Jake isn't 10 years old, he doesn't need support for doing a talk show.
Everyone needs support and companionship despite their age. Jake is an extrovert and likes to have friends around him. He is not a loner. If Austin was in LA, I can see him definitely wanting him to be there. Seeing that red flush on this neck, looks like Jake was right. ;-)
So childish.
How did a drink evolve into rip roaring drunk? You guys are funny, keep it up.
Because someone is trying to say that Jake having a sip of liquor or a quick drink would cause him to have a bloody red flush all over his neck for 11 minutes. The poster is probably making the point that the only way someone can get that flushed is if they were rip roaring drunk. Moreover, their nose, ears and eyes would show the effect of the alcohol too. Not just the throat. Jake did not slur his words, nor did his eyes look blood shot. So I see the poster's point. Explaining Jake's flush with the idea that he had a drink is absurd. There would have been other obvious signs. Which were not there.
Well, at least you've given up chastising him for walking past a motorcycle shop, so I guess that's something. You are like a dog with a bone. Repeating the same words over and over. I'll use a common phrase here, because it seems to fit.
What are you, 12?
Sorry, sweetie, but sometimes just one drink will cause cheeks to flush also. Sex, wine, hablano chillies, all can do it.
Off the record. In other words, it's not allowed to be reported.
No one can stop people from blogging, tweeting or gossiping. NO ONE.
So childish.
And you are at a blog dedicated to Toothy Tile. So I'm sure that qualifies you for the height of sophistication.
I see the troll is trying the common sense argument again. You know, the one where he explains Jake's crimson red throat with him being rip roaring drunk before going on a nationally broadcast talk show. Yeah, that's a really common sense argument. Talk about grasping at straws.
Some of you people are batshit crazy - you really believe it is more likely Jake took Austin to a talk show so he could have sex with him than Jake having a drink before the show. Wow!
No one can stop people from blogging, tweeting or gossiping. NO ONE.
We are talking about a studio environment. There is an industry culture that is understood among insiders. People who work in these kinds of careers know not to talk. That is if they care about their jobs that is. That's why so many actors can have boyfriends on the side while still being able to stay in the closet.
Once again, having a drink before the show would not cause that kind of ISOLATED flush. Jake's entire face would be flushed too. Which it wasn't.
Plus, Jake didn't look or sound like he even had one drink. He was just being goofy, pretending to be a bartender.
The whole thing was a cute post on OMG about a reason for Jake's red neck, and who knows? It might be true. But two or three of OMG's trolls like to think they can harass posters here, so they're giving it all they've got today. They don't like that there are some holes that you can drive a Mack truck through in their theories, so they are right - when Ted says something, it usually does cause an uproar. So far, he's thrown TT's identity into question, and a few other things, so they are very antsy.
PeeGee, "M" whose sytax gives her away by a mile, and Destiny who usually makes a general announcement that she's going to be "out of town" before she goes undercover trolling. :)
Austin being in Indonesia now (something that he tweeted about way back in October) nor in Purerto Rico over the weekend has nada to do with where he was on March 23, the night of which he was on Jimmy Fallon.
Austin tweeted that he was leaving for Indonesia on the 24th.
From L.A.
Interesting that he said in his twitter that he was leaving from L.A.
Austin's whereabouts are unaccounted for the night of the 23rd.
correct -
the night of which Jake was on Kimmel.
We are talking about a studio environment. There is an industry culture that is understood among insiders.
Everyone working in the studio could tweet about it anonymously or talk to someone who would tweet about it.
There is no "industry culture" because they aren't insiders, just sane celebrities who don't push their luck.
Austin's whereabouts are unaccounted for the night of the 23rd.
So are Henry Cavill's. Just sayin'
Interesting that he said in his twitter that he was leaving from L.A.
LOL, Austin lives there.
P.S. And you have to go or fly over West Coast if you're going to Indonesia.
The whole thing was a cute post on OMG about a reason for Jake's red neck, and who knows? It might be true.
In which universe?
The BT's have been thrown into question too - Ted now says just one.
LOL, 1:41. :)
The BT's have been thrown into question too - Ted now says just one.
Ted said just one before + Ted never, ever suggested that there is more than one BT.
Once again, having a drink before the show would not cause that kind of ISOLATED flush.
And sex with Austin is the only explanation for it!
Long term partners with children in showbiz and in the closet don't go around having sex in dressing rooms, they would have it at home.
Use your noggins for once, it's fanfic
^^ THANK YOU Get a Clue!
When has Jake ever gone on a talk show tipsy? None that we have ever seen.
The thought of Jake getting some action before Kimmel is obviously greatly bothering some.
Austin is a hot looking guy and he does look to pack quite a punch. Couldn't blame Jake for tapping it on his 24 hr layover between NC and Indonesia.
When has Jake ever gone on a talk show tipsy?
Remember how Jake couldn't get out of bed in the morning just few weeks ago?
The thought of Jake getting some action before Kimmel is obviously greatly bothering some.
Don't play stupid.
Some people are trying to sell "Jake and Austin having sex in dressing room" fiction based on thin air and that bothers some.
Couldn't blame Jake for tapping it on his 24 hr layover between NC and Indonesia.
Of course not, that's what partners and parents do all the time, make sure to have hot sex and see each other at least one day per month!
I agree, with whoever introduced the topic, that making out before the show is the best explanation I've heard for Jake's flush. It's also driving some people crazy to think of Jake being so sexual and playful. Why are you people even here? I think it's hot.
Get real will you. It's a fantasy that gets YOU all worked up and hot just thinking of the idea. Someones says it, then YOU and others RUN with it. You've now made it TRUTH in your heads and now you're happy.
Makes you all warm and fuzzy inside don't it. LOL
What you're doing is called INSANITY.
Riduculous absurd and childish.
Aren't there other things to help get YOU off?
Please try again.
, so that would mean Jake had no problem with being known that Austin is with him.
^^ if he's a gay man hiding and beardin he would, so it makes no Sense at all. All of the batshitcrazy ideas of bearding would just be thrown out the window. Funny who they don't see this, the Justyloons that is.
And, Sophia would have a big problem with this.
The J&A shippers get too defensive and threatened about it if someone should have the nerve to question a "theory". I wouldn't even give it that much credibility to call it a theory. It's silly speculation, fun but artificially sweetened.
^^ Yes they do, they get itchy. and it's called saccarin.
J&A 11/11/11
See if they don't.
Sophia is a beard. She knows Austin is gay. She knows Jake and Austin are together.
She's known both of these guys for several years. You think she doesn't know?
Sophia doesn't want to look like a fool and Austin loves her too much to make her look like a fool.
LOL! Of all the crazy statements made so far.
Austin spent weekend with Sophia when he could have been with Jake. Do the math.
It's called bearding. Gay man + eligible lady + bearding.
Something tells me there's an OTH fan in the midst. Only one of them would be buying Austin and Sophia.
No, it is called not giving a shit about being with Jake. Austin doesn't need to spend every weekend with the beard, he doesn't need to go to Indonesia (as far as we know this isn't a business trip) - Austin chooses to spend his time away from Jake.
It's called bearding. Gay man + eligible lady + bearding.
Austin has been with Sophia too long to think it's fake, but if saying it's fake make you happy, Well. LOL
Ausin don't want to be seen with Jake. Everyone on WFT and OMG knows this. That's why the childish theories are posted. Totally ridiculous and not even funny. Some are still keeping their fingers crossed for a wedding tho.
They also want pictures of the 5 babytiles.
Wow Just Wow
It's called bearding. Gay man + eligible lady + bearding.
No, it is called not giving a shit about being with Jake. Austin doesn't need to spend every weekend with the beard, he doesn't need to go to Indonesia (as far as we know this isn't a business trip) - Austin chooses to spend his time away from Jake.
Same as you choose to ignore all that and pretend it's not happening.
Okaayyyy
Let me see if I understand this:
Austin and Jake beards for over five (5) years, then they hook up in the dressing room on a popular show to do the funky thing wild thing where others can see, know, and talk about?
So the bearding Idea is Stupid, just plain Stupid. Why beard if you don't care who sees or knows?
makes no sense.
2:49 PM - minor details! ;)
^^
I meant the bearding theory is stupid
Austin and Sophia are fake. Austin is gay.
I cannot help it if you can't see that; too bad.
Austin is gay and he isn't with Jake anymore.
I cannot help it if you can't see that; too bad.

Sorry toots, but I haven't been on here in a couple of days. And I know PG and M's style too, and the ton of comments about about Jake and Austin are not coming from them. But go ahead and think it, I know you hate the idea that more than a handful of people might think J&A are together.
It seems highly unlikely Jake's neck came from drinking. People who turn red from drinking usually do so due to genetics, and it happens all the time for them. When have we ever seen Jake at a party, etc. where he has likely been drinking, with a red neck??
It seems highly unlikely Jake's neck came from drinking.
How likely is that Jake's neck came red from having sex with Austin?
Not that it matters, but Austin was in PR the weekend that Jake was doing all of his interviews for Source Code. Prior to his turning up in DC there was about a week of no real evidence of where he was; he could have been in Austin when Jake was there, or could have been in LA for a few days while Jake was there. Doesn't seem likely that he was in Wilmington, otherwise wait until after the PR trip to pack up?
Whatever the case, if they are still together, or still have some kind of relationship, they probably don't see each other that often, so yeah, they would likely use any opportunity they got to get their hands all over each other. Plus agree that Toothy has a taste for public sex, so yes, I could see wanting a tryst in his dressing room like that. People who have a taste for that get a thrill from the possibility of getting caught.
Prior to his turning up in DC there was about a week of no real evidence of where he was
Austin was in Wilmington weekend before DC, twitter sightings.
I could see wanting a tryst in his dressing room like that
They don't care about being together, they both beard, but you can imagine Jake taking Austin to studio so he could have sex with him? That really makes sense to you?
My neck never turned red after sex. It did after I drank, usually after i forgot that I took an over the counter medication for my allergies like sudifed.
Jake does suffer from allergies doesn't he?
Doesn't seem likely that he was in Wilmington, otherwise wait until after the PR trip to pack up?
Because that makes perfect sense.
Austin in Wilmington -> trip to DC -> trip to PR -> picking up things from Wilmington, filming is over -> LA -> trip to Indonesia.
WFT2, OMG and GB , different names for the same fiction , populated by the same people
GB posters discuss Jake and Austin's undying love??????
I don't put a lot of weight on the tweet from NC, most of the OTH fangirls were all over Wilmington that week and weekend because filming is wrapping up; none of them saw Austin after Tuesday or Wednesday, and no pictures. Not saying Austin couldn't have been there, but why no pictures? I also think tourists who go to a place like that don't want their friends back home to think they went there and didn't seen anyone, so it wouldn't surprise me if people made things up.
And even if he was there Saturday, no word of where he was Sunday through Thursday afternoon, when he turned up in DC.
Jake and Conan talked about (beards) for at least 90% of the interview.
LOL
Being that the stars usually set the tone for the conversation on these interviews, I say Jake has taken a page out of Austin's book of Yeah, lets fuck with the loons. I'll give thier asses something to talk about.
Austin's been known to screw with the J/A fans with Sophia and family talk, his love for her, their plans, all while mocking himself. Pissing off the J/A diehards for shits and giggles because he can.
^^ facial
LOL
Who is the dummy that thinks Jake would never do it in the dressing room. This is the man who loves public sex in parking garages restaurant parking lots and on the street. The possibility of being discovered is what turns him on. There have even been hints that he needs that boost to get turned on. And we know he was seen kissing in a dressing room once before. Besides he does not have to have full on sex to get beard rash or be aroused. Kissing and nuzzling are more than enough.
GB posters discuss Jake and Austin's undying love??????
Obviously not, but it's the same kind of story twisting to make something fit into the blog approved mindset . Every blog has its one and only true truth and every other blog is always wrong
WFT2 posters don't do that, they don't believe J&A are together and they don't believe there is BT - no need for spinning or twisting.
Who is the dummy that thinks Jake would never do it in the dressing room.
Only dummies think that Jake would do it in a dressing room with Austin.
Austin's been known to screw with the J/A fans with Sophia and family talk, his love for her, their plans, all while mocking himself.
Can you post at least one tweet as example? I bet you can't.
And even if he was there Saturday, no word of where he was Sunday through Thursday afternoon, when he turned up in DC.
Why would Austin fly to the West Coast just to retun to the East Coast a few days later?
Wow, Jake was great on Conan. I like Conan a lot (must be the redbeard). The beard discussion was a riot - legitimate beards, ginger beards, depression beards, and sometimes all it means is you just didn't shave your face. LOL!
Wow, he's got great thights. *swoon* I did notice the small scar; it doesn't detract from his beauty at all.
The Source Code clip really does have a Hitchcock feel to it, esp. with the music.
I did notice the small scar
Didn't watch Conan yet, but I couldn't notice the scar in SXSW video interviews. Could it be the lighting?
It could be, but I've seen it several times now, it's a crease - so I wonder if it is legit.
So the scar is recent because it wasn't there during LAOD promotion. What happened? Shaving accident?
Are we sure it wasn't there all along? It looks like it was accidental, like maybe during rehearsals for PoP. Wasn't there an accident? Poor baby!
Can someone point out where exactly on his face this scar is? Here's a full size pic.. Thanks.
It's the horizontal line on the left of his jaw. Here, it looks like it could just be a hair growth pattern. It could be a slight scar.
^^^ Looks quite bad, but I can't see the scar in other pictures / videos.
looks like it could just be a hair growth pattern
I think it is, and bad lighting on the last 2 pictures.
Nothing Really.
It was probably another one of his chem peels.
Chem peels can't leave scars like that.
Nobody could tolerate as many chemical peels as is mentioned here. It would be extremely irritating to the skin. It would not scar in that way, but in a general, overall way. Come to think of it, that could be why Jake's neck appeared red, if had a chemical peel. Ha! :)
Good thinking! Lots of people will hate you for it! ;)
If his neck had been red from a chemical peel, then why wasn't his face red? Also, why wouldn't they have put makeup on his neck if it had been red when they did his face?
"why wasn't his face red?"
Good make-up :)
Talk about grasping for straws. Surely, if Jake walked in with his throat red like that, the makeup person would have taken care of the issue then and there. Moreover, Jake would have made sure to point it out when he was getting camera ready, if he walked into the building like that.
Sorry 6:19 PM, silly theory that Jake had hot sex but nothing happened to his his hair and make-up is too silly.
You can comb the hair. Who says he had on make up for the show?
You can't do anything about a flush.
Who says he had on make up for the show?
EVERYONE wears make up for TV, duh!
Duh, his neck is mostly covered by a shirt collar. I'm sure the makeup artists didn't count on the Jaustin sleuths uncovering the secret, tho. Sure, it's highly possible Jake has hot sex with someone, and plenty of it, but some of you are just to silly for words.
Jaustin sleuths uncovering the secret
If I am mysteriosly murdered, please don't hire a 'Jaustin sleuth' to solve the case.
^mysteriously
LOL :)
O.O Jake's reaction to spotting Henry Cavill across the street
That bitch!
Austin, You're history sweetie
Still can't believe that Henry is the newest Superman. Why are they doing that to Jake?
Two days til Source Code hits theatres! Wow! :)

So, by comparison, SOURCE CODE is a pretty promising follow-up for Jones, and I wouldn’t be a bit surprised to see him jumping on-board a large scale project once this opens. On its own merits, SOURCE CODE is a solid little thriller, although it can’t help but feel a little too much like a particularly good episode of THE OUTER LIMITS stretched out to feature length.
The premise, which sees Gyllenhaal repeatedly being zapped back to the moments before the passenger train explodes does indeed get a bit tiresome after a while, and all though it’s been compared to GROUNDHOG DAY, it doesn’t come close that film, which somehow manages to get better with each passing year.
However, there’s still enough going on in SOURCE CODE to make it a fairly satisfying film. There’s actually more to it than the trailers would have you believe, with this not being quite the action vehicle it’s being sold as. While not as cerebral as MOON, it does continue one of the central ideas of MOON, which was the justification of essentially enslaving a man’s consciousness, even though they themselves are not aware they’re being used. And, where Rockwell’s character in MOON was haunted by his failed relationship with his wife and the idea of his daughter growing up without him, Gyllenhaal is obsessed with making peace with his estranged father. It’s nice to see a director that can appreciate emotion.
In the lead, Gyllenhaal is fairly good; although he’s more of a generic, square-jawed leading man than the dynamic Sam Rockwell who I’d argue was Oscar-worthy in MOON. Gyllenhaal is fine (with him bouncing back nicely from PRINCE OF PERSIA and LOVE & OTHER DRUGS), but for my money, the real highlight of the film is Vera Farmiga.
...
While SOURCE CODE isn’t exactly a slam-dunk, it’s still a fairly effective and fun thriller. It also strikes me as the type of film that may get better after a second viewing. Don’t for a second think you’ll get anything as profound as MOON, but it’s well-crafted, and bodes well for Jones’ future behind the camera.

Wow! Reviews I've read are good, but not that good :)
Yeah, but so as long as the review is mostly favorable it goes in the Fresh column and the rating goes up. It doesn't have to be a great review, just a good one. 89% is a good sign, it should be high enough to translate to good box office.
I'm sure box office will be good, the movie isn't too expensive and will make a profit.
And the Source Code NYC promo tour has started. There's a post of Just Jared on Jake arriving at JFK. The paps just happened to be in baggage claim when his flight came in. I worked at JFK for 10 years, paps are only there when tipped off. Besideds, how many times has Jake come and gone from JFK and there hasn't been any pap pics. Just proof again of Jake being seen only when he wants to.
That is true for all celebrities.
12:04 is a liar, she never worked at JFk, just another loon pissed that she doesn't know where Jake is 24/7
12:55pm, why are you such a confrontational asshole? I worked for TWA and left about 2 years before they went out of business because I had a baby. Stop with the childish name calling. Last I checked this is still a blog where people can voice their opinions and comments. I voiced mine. If you don't agree fine, but no need to act like a 12 year old to voice yours. BTW, do you even know where JFK is? Are you just calling names out of ignorance? Give it a rest already. This blog is for entainment, no need to take it so seriously.
Oh, boo hoo. You are obsessed to where he is at 24/7, you want pics of his every move like picking his nose and taking a shit.
Jake travels by private jet sometines so too bad you can't see pics of him all the time fangirl.
JFK is in Queens Ny and I don't believ you ever worked there.
13:22, way to dish it back to the troll. The troll makes no sense whatsoever. They're an eternally unhappy person.
You are obsessed to where he is at 24/7, you want pics of his every move like picking his nose and taking a shit.
Stop PROJECTING, lol.
James Franco isn't slowing down.
He'll be teaching a third-year course on directing at the Tisch School of the Arts, the NY Post reports:
"A maximum of 12 students in the intimate three-year program — with an annual tuition of $46,000 — will be able to register for the course on adapting poetry into short films.
“He’s here to teach because he really knows something about directing that he can share with our students,” said John Tintori, chair of the graduate film program. “He’s incredibly prolific, and that comes from a real work ethic — and that’s another thing to impart to our students.”

with him bouncing back nicely from PRINCE OF PERSIA and LOVE & OTHER DRUGS
Both movies weren't that bad. I watched PoP two times with a couple of friends and everyone enjoyed it for what it was. Don't get the hate.
That is true for all celebrities.
^^ why in the world don't the posters understand this? EVERY celebs people does this. If they didn't, there would be NO Tabloids or Junk Mags.
It's ok when the paps are there for that celeb. you (want to see) and can't get enough of.
they seem to think ONLY JAKE'S people and JAKE does this. Ignorance run rampant.

You know after reading "some post" here and OMG, one would be inclined to think Jake is just some bullshit actor, but he's not, he has some acting chops.
But when I did see POP and LAOD I think Jake did a damn good job. Do I think POP was a great or good movie, it was a so so movie and Jake was what I liked about it. He was damn good in LAOD also. But one can easily become jaded because of the constant hate towards him on the blogs. The boy is good when given a good role.
Now, Rendition is an exception and like others, I think he was miscast.
^^Agree about him being adequate and ejoyable in PoP, but miscast in Rendition.
But one can easily become jaded because of the constant hate towards him on the blogs.
I bet Chris Bumbray, the person who wrote "with him bouncing back nicely from PRINCE OF PERSIA and LOVE & OTHER DRUGS", DOES NOT read about Jake on gossip blogs or care about his bearding.
Jake is a good actor, he just needs good material. He's not been lucky recently with good material as other actors his age, Gosling, Franco etc. but it seems SC will be his best received movie sice Zodiac, which was 5 years ago.
Looks like it + guys love this kind of movies :)
But one can easily become jaded because of the constant hate towards him on the blogs.
Ridiculous. There's no "constant hate" towards Jake - and saying that he bounced back from disappointing movies isn't a hateful thing to say. PoP and LAOD underperformed to expectations. There are way more blogs and sites groveling over Jake than criticizing him.
I thought POP was a mediocre movie and Jake was miscast and stuck out like a sore thumb. He is too "modern" for a historical movie like that, and I never forgot I was watching Jake and not a character, unlike the other actors. I do get why no one wanted to see it, I only saw it because a friend who gets review copies passed his on to me.
I did think Jake was good in LAOD, but thought the movie was a mess.
Bitter trolls and babblers, can't stand anything that isn't one hundred percent "rah rah Jake".
Jake is a good actor, he just needs good material.
Coudn't agree more. That's why he should spend more energy on looking and working on it, and less energy on trying to be a movie star.

My Mommy Has a Pretend Boyfriend
It’s a sad world when celebrities start teaching their children to lie about what goes on in the home. This B/C actress sent her confused daughter to school who confessed to friends, “Mommy’s boyfriend is pretend.” When the actress found out about it, she was worried the word would spread to her ex. She decided that if her fake relationship couldn’t pass by her daughter, she’d have to step it up, and she’s been working on convincing her daughter over and over that her PR relationship is real, even though it’s not.
Fuck!
Homeschooling is good for kids!
Dear Ted:
My kids have taken up watching the cartoon Family Guy. Lately there have been a lot of Tom Cruise gay innuendos/jokes...I would think he would be suing them. Do those writers know things we don't?
—L
Dear Tom in the Closet:
Nope, these writers just seem to be pulling the same Tom Cruise gay innuendos that have always been overused. South Park's already made an episode out of the joke. It's time to put it to rest.
It's time to put it to rest.
Sure, let's not piss off Tom and his "wife".
Jake talking about his love at first sight girl ...
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart
I don't think Ted's on Tom's payroll 11:41, It's just Old NEWS!
Nobody's interested in Gay Tom Cruise stories. If he's in the closet he may come out one day, but Who Cares? Leave the man alone.
He may be straight with rumors, bi-curious, bi or Gay.
We all know he could be all of the above and married with a child.
he could be ^ANY^ of the above.
NOT all.
Jake Gyllenhaal Talks Awkwardly About Liking Chicks
"I don't know what your situation ... if you're single, if you're dating, if you're looking for love in all the ... I don't know what's going on," Jon Stewart told Jake Gyllenhaal last night while trying to set him up with a studio audience member. But that wasn't even the most awkward part! That came immediately afterward, when Stewart asked him if there was ever a girl he fell in love with at first sight, and rather than lie -- because we all know Jake is a big homogay, AMIRIGHT? -- he said yes: his mother.

Not in this Universe. There is theoretical possibility Tom is bisexual, but I think he's gay.
It's just Old NEWS!
You are right, they should joke about Tom buying a wife.
I think Ted's nope was directed more at why Tom Cruise isn't suing as well as it being old news. He may also be saying we all know as much as the writers, not that the writers don't know anything.
Ted answer is about writers not knowing things about Tom:
Q: Do those writers know things we don't?
A: Nope, these writers just seem to be pulling the same Tom Cruise gay innuendos that have always been overused.
"I don't know what your situation ... if you're single, if you're dating, if you're looking for love in all the ... I don't know what's going on"
Jon Stewart doesn't know Jake is gay?
This site is devoted to our most embarrassing, hilarious, tragic, heinous and stylish memories. Do you have a picture of you and your ex-boyfriend who was obviously gay? Or might as well have been gay? Does he just look real gay in this one hilarious photo? C'mon, remember that gross picture of you and your junior prom date when you decided to wear your hair down?

James Franco blames Anne Hathaway for Oscar hosting fiasco
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/showtracker/2011/03/james-franco-blames-anne-hathaway-for-oscar-hosting-fiasco-.html
James Franco has a theory for why his Oscar co-hosting performance was so trashed: It was Anne Hathaway's fault!
On a pretaped clip for Friday's "Late Show With David Letterman" on CBS, Letterman asks why critics suggested that Franco was stoned during the Academy Awards telecast.
"I think I know why," the actor replies. "Because, I love her, but Anne Hathaway is so energetic, I think the Tasmanian Devil would look stoned standing next to Anne Hathaway… She has a lot of energy."
Franco also blames fans for having a double standard about the Oscars. "Here's the hypocritical thing: Leading up to the Oscars, I couldn't hear enough about how, 'Oh, people don't care about the Oscars anymore, it's dead, it's boring, it's at the end of a long awards season, who cares about it?' Well, as soon as you don't host the way they want you to, they suddenly care and they won't shut up about it," he says.
I think the problem was James and Anne had no chemistry and he's not that funny and charming like he is on screen. Him hosting was a mistake.
I think the Tasmanian Devil would look stoned standing next to Anne Hathaway… She has a lot of energy.
Sounds like a compliment to me :)
^^Rather an excuse for him sucking as a host IMO.
That bitch!
He didn't say it was Anne's fault--he was making a joke saying that perhaps pairing them (when their temperaments are so different) was a mistake. He does have a point about the double standard we have regarding the Oscars and the people who host.
Letterman was right when he said to him--seriously, what does it matter? Really, it doesn't. Franco has LOADS of movies and his multiple projects lined up for the next few years. This might be an embarrassment but it will fade. At least he didn't sing "Proud Mary" with Snow White.

IA. I don't read that as him blaming her at all, and I also think he was complimenting her. The media just loves to stir up shit. Fiasco? Please. No one cares that much and it doesn't matter in the long run. They're both actors - not comedians.
7:10 and 9:27, I agree!
April 1! Source Code day :)
Jake Gyllenhaal has revealed he is glad that he is now in a position where he doesn't have to take on an acting job just for the money.
The Oscar nominated actor is back on the big screen this week with his new movie Source Code, which sees him team up with filmmaker Duncan Jones. The actor admits that when he was first kicking off his career he took all sorts of roles but now feels lucky that he can be more choosy.
Speaking to Bang Showbiz he said: "When I was first working, I would just take whatever I was cast for. But now, it's like I have to have 'that feeling'.
"I've done movies where I didn't have the right feeling and I knew the audience didn't either.
"I respect the audience so much and I think it comes from growing up with storytellers.
"I watch movies a lot, I get feelings from movies, I love watching trailers, I love hearing directors, actors and everybody whose job has to do with movies."

"Dancing with the Stars" judge Carrie Ann Inaba got engaged on "LIVE! with Regis & Kelly" Thursday morning where Jake Gyllenhaal was a guest, and the actor told the story from his point of view at the 'Source Code' screening in New York City.
"It was a surprise for all of us," said Jake, who jokingly presented Carrie Ann with an engagement ring towards the top of the morning show not knowing of the proposal that lied ahead.
At the end of the show, the real engagement took place when the "Dancing" judge's boyfriend, Jesse Sloan, dropped down to one knee and popped the question.
Jake revealed that Thursday morning's shocker wasn't the first time he was caught off guard by a marriage proposal, saying, "I was actually once staying at a hotel and I saw, outside of my room, a guy proposed to a girl... I opened the door and I was like, 'Congratulations!'"
Jake develops his own romantic tale in the movie 'Source Code,' playing the love interest of Michelle Monaghan.
"It's very fast paced," Michelle said of the movie. "It's thought provoking and at the heart of it is a love story with Jake Gyllenhaal, so you can't go wrong."

But now, it's like I have to have 'that feeling'.
Come on Jake, turning LAOD into a romcom sounded like a good idea?
6:27 AM - LOL! Troll, aren't you a bit ashamed to act like silly fangirl? I bet you aren't 15 :)
Is this Jake? From Gossip Boy:
-One of the most famous names right now is tearing up NYC with his late night parties and his visit']s to a certain cruising spot. The actor dines as ABC Kitchen and then walks through Union Square where he either picks up a bag of weed or an admiring fan who is willing to go down on him. You may wonder how such a big name can do this, but with a hoodie and shades he is pretty unrecognizable. And gays seem to love anonymity.
*cough*
Oh no, not again!
Franco is also in NYC right now.
Jake, call me!

ryanseacrest: Talked to Jake Gyllenhaal and he said nope, he's NOT replacing Matt Damon in the Bourne franchise...all rumors http://bit.ly/i7DRVF
less than a minute
Gossip boy has been proven to be full of shit.
He/she follows tweets/sightings and other BI and spins there own tales.
When she/he stumbled on the TT crap, they went out of their way to make it seem like he/she was Jake, some OMG posters actually believed it.
I think he/shey did the same with some Supernatural and Days of our Lives fans.
In this case they manage to combine Jake and James: both are in NY right now, both hang and shop around Union Square, James smokes post and has been rumored to allow peple to give him BL's, Jake was seen at ABC Kitchen on previous visits,n etc.
How easy is it to make up BI's!
PS: I doubt either is doing anything like that in NY there would be some chatter, wearing a hood deosn't disguise much.
Gyllenhaal, whose last couple of films, "Love and Other Drugs" and "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time," were critical disappointments, all but carries this thinking thriller on his own. His sharp, steady performance reminds us he's still got a strong career ahead of him. Michelle Monaghan plays the woman sitting across from him on the train, for whom the airman starts to fall -- eight minutes at a time. She's a woman who deserves to be busier. She's beautiful, but with an ease that makes her believable as just another unlucky commuter.
Characters in thrillers often live and die -- but less often face tough questions about life and death. Duncan Jones isn't just creating his own career; he's helping to transform a genre.

The contrived but compelling script for director Duncan Jones’ second film — following his intriguing debut feature, the 2009 science fiction thriller, Moon, with Sam Rockwell – is by one Ben Ripley (believe it or not). Like Moon, Jones’ sophomore effort has a unique, idiosyncratic structure, despite its combining of the what-if spirit of Twilight Zone with the over-and-over editing structure of Groundhog Day, and with its narrative echoes of The Manchurian Candidate, Jacob’s Ladder, and Inception.
Director Jones (the son of David Bowie) throws us into the middle of things from the very first scene, so that we start off as disoriented as the protagonist, watching the movie kick into gear as a puzzle to be solved. The special effects are functional rather than decorative. Gyllenhaal is a charismatic, sympathetic leading man. And adroit editing keeps the film from feeling repetitive even though it obviously must be.
Pity that the payoff doesn’t live up to the buildup, with the denouement falling a bit flat and failing to deliver the cerebral or emotional punch it’s aiming for. But perhaps that’s inevitable in a movie that you can enjoy without exactly understanding the science (fiction) involved, and even as you question the internal logic of the film’s central conceit.
So we’ll rewind 2-1/2 stars out of 4 for Source Code, an absorbing ticking-clock techno-thriller that makes time fly whether you’re having fun or not.

According to a new report director Richard Kelly and actor Jake Gyllenhaal are going to team up again for a brand new Donnie Darko film. The movie won’t really be a sequel, it's being planned more as a flash sideways kind of movie. Kelly described as “taking place in the same time period as the original film, but in an alternate future universe.” Um, OK... that doesn’t really make that much sense, but then what Richard Kelly movie really does? He’s taking the world of Donnie Darko into a much more insane place.

How kind of him! lol
That should be BJ's! Yes James activities are well known in NY, that said the GB BI is BS.
They take info that is already out there, and add anything extra from Tweets, FB sightings to add to it, it's oldest trick in the "gossip world".
What I don't get is why some people actually follow and believe even for purely entertainment because then anyone can start a gossip blog.
