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.

I don't think Austin is scheduled to go to P.R. It's only a handful of the girls on the show who are going.

Jake, I hope that wasn't a hangover!
It was a hangover as per tweets and FB accounts of a SC party!
Great.
What does it matter? He kept his appointments and interviews. Doesn't seem like something to take him to task over.
He didn't keep his appointments, they had to reschedule them.
Studio rep says Jake Gyllenhaal is not feeling well and his 9AM interviews are rescheduled for late afternoon. Everyone else on schedule.

It's a bad sign about his state of mind.
LOL oh please, his state of mind. Are you for real?
Do you drink so hard that you can't function next morning? Yes? In that case I see why this is no big deal for you.
He's functioning perfectly fine. So far he's done a panel, a roundtable discussions and interviews and all accounts have him laughing, personable and charming. Doesn't sound like someone who isn't "functioning".
3:42 PM, which part of the "his 9AM interviews are rescheduled for late afternoon" and ""Source Code" panel starting late" you don't understand?
EW: Did you stay to watch the movie?
JG: I did. My best friend lives in Austin and he came with his girlfriend. Literally he grabbed my leg at one point and then at another time, in that scene where I jump off the train, he was like “Oh my god, what the hell?!” I was like “Yes!”
http://insidemovies.ew.com/2011/03/12/sxsw-jake-gyllenhaal-on-source-code-world-premiere/
Who is this best friend? We know Austin lives in L.A..
Jake refered to Chris, David, Austin and Heath as his best friend. LOL.
David something, the one Jake visited Austin, TX last time.
I see. Thanks.
^^David accompanied Jake to the Baftas too. It was the cute guy sitting next to him. :)
Q: Did you stay to watch the movie?
Jake: ... he came with his girlfriend.
We got it Jake, your friend is heterosexual.
David is from MV and moved to Austin, TX. He makes doc. films, like Crawford, about ex-Pres. shrub.
Anyone else noticed that there seems to be no interest in Source Code, except for Jake fansites? Weird since it just premiered at a film festival. That does not bode so well for box office.
First impressions and reviews are good, I believe Source Code will manage to make some profit.
We will see.

Where do you normally look to gauge interest on a film? Judging by word of mouth before the festival started and the throngs of people turned away from last minute tix in Austin, seems like loads of people were interested.
Hi everybody, long time no see.

Didn't you read the whole EW interview? It is true. I mean Jake didn't punch him, but shoved him agaist the wall. I must say I understand Jake. I'd react the same way if someone tried to take a pic of me peeing. Creep.

No.
It looks like I won't get an answer from you, guys. However, for my trained eye it looks like his mucle was slashed with a knife, then sutured.
If he was slashed than it was probably a disappointed Jaustiloon.
J/K ;)
Jake loves sports, I think he probably just fell and cut himself. Nothing world shattering. ;)
LOL really? When might this have happened? You don't think it's something banal like, I dunno, ink or a crease from leaning his face against something?
Here's 6:39 (I'm the original asker).
Thanks 6:41 for the answer. (Also, I am not 6:44, I don't know what 6:44 babbles.)

...Gyllenhaal’s character is the only one with any real meat to it and he’s plays it beautifully; heroic in the right spots and empathetic when the time calls for it. One can’t help but root for him through the whole movie. He commands the screen and the role, and as much as I hate to admit it, he was great. Really great....
..As a whole, Source Code is a fun piece of entertainment that fuses enough heart and originality to make sure it sticks out once it’s released nationwide. This is Gyllenhaal’s best performance in a long time and he plays one hell of a sympathetic hero....
However, for my trained eye it looks like his mucle was slashed with a knife, then sutured.
Sorry, I don't see anything like that.
For all those who seem to want Jake to FAIL
We don't want Jake to fail, it is your problem that for you being realistic means being against Jake.
Looks like Jake and Source Code will get good, but not great reviews.
It's an intriguing, whip-crack of an opening for Source Code, a big and twisty sci-fi film that unfortunately only unravels from there. Director Duncan Jones, without the meticulous production design and skilled acting that so distinguished his debut feature Moon, has chosen a bear of a script for his follow-up, littered with giant logical leaps and clumsy dialogue that make the film seem generic at some times and utterly ludicrous at others. Jones brings his skill for sharp visuals and suspenseful pacing, and Gyllenhaal puts in a committed and captivating lead performance, but nothing they do is enough to put the story back on the rails. Where Moon was a marvel of restraint and working within limits, Source Code suffers from a scale no one seems able to control.
The best example of Source Code's lack of cohesion is Jeffrey Wright, as the mysterious and amoral head of the government agency that has sent Colter Stevens on his time-traveling mission to this doomed train. Affecting an accent and swanning around the high-tech office like some foppish despot, Wright may just be trying to make the most of dummy lines like "Now we finally have a powerful weapon in the war on terror," but he's completely at odds with the grim, realistic performances from his co-stars. Then again, he's at least more interesting-- Monaghan is pretty but very blank as the accomplice Colter meets then falls in love with rather suddenly on the train, while Farmiga, perched behind a computer monitor for nearly the entire film, seems merely to be cashing a well-deserved paycheck.
It's not that Source Code is unwatchable, or that some relatively enjoyable sci-fi hokum isn't welcome, especially when it looks this good and moves along so pleasantly. But Jones's previous film had definitely taught us to expect better, and especially since Moon's script was also fairly flawed, it's a shame to see him make so little of what he was given here.
http://www.cinemablend.com/reviews/Source-Code-5142.html
Two appealing actors, Jake Gyllenhaal and Vera Farmiga, elevate “Source Code,” an intricately plotted and elegantly executed sci-fi thriller-actioner way above its narrative and dramatic shortcomings.
The two stars, and a good supporting cast, are guided by the gifted British director Duncan Jones, who two years ago made an impression with his cerebral sci-fi “Moon,” and is now making his Hollywood debut with a film that boasts a bigger budget, bigger stars, bigger special effects—and some compromises too (see below).
World-premiering at the South by Southwest Film Fest (In Austin, Texas), “Source Code” will be released by Summit on April 1. My reaction to the film is mixed and I suspect that the movie will divide critics as well.
...
“Source Code” suffers from some major weaknesses. While the repetition and tediousness is inherent in the narrative structure, a case could be made for a smaller number of times in which Colter is sent back to the train.
Like other recent films (“Inception” comes to mind), the movie has no rules or limitations—everything seems possible in such a context.
In terms of Ben Ripley’s writing, the roles of Colleen and especially Dr. Rutledge, are vastly underwritten. Jeffrey Wright, who’s a brilliant performer, is truly wasted here in a minor, vague role that any actor could play.
Then there is the intimation of romance between Colter and Colleen, probably for the sake of making the movie more commercial and more mainstream. While at first their conversations are brief and matter-of fact, later in the game, they begin to ask personal questions and get closer to each other.
I don’t think Vera Farmiga has ever given a bad or weak performance. In this picture, playing a secondary role, she still registers strongly with her graceful presence (those blue eyes) and charisma.
But the movie really belongs to Jake Gyllenhaal, who has been circling around major stardom for a long time, and here carries the entire film on his shoulders. Gyllenhaal’s skeptics will be surprised by his dominant, warm, and compelling performance, considering the limitations (both dramatic and physical) imposed on him by the story’s setting and plot.
http://www.emanuellevy.com/review/source-code/
Solid execution and some provocative ideas can't save "Source Code" from a fatal hubris, as it thinks itself far more clever than it actually is and assumes it's earned emotions at which it's only hinted. Sophomore director Duncan Jones is becoming an adept craftsman of such modestly scaled, cerebral speculative fiction, and had this been a SyFy original movie, it would have been most impressive. But as a follow-up to the startlingly inventive "Moon," "Source Code" just doesn't quite compute. SXSW opener ought to do solid but unspectacular business, with better odds in ancillary.
...
But even the most far-fetched sci-fi premise is worth going along with if it thoughtfully examines its own ramifications, whereas "Source Code" treats this brain-teasing notion as though it's all a clever riddle, albeit one without a particularly interesting solution. It's also one that requires quantum leaps in logic, the most jarring being the idea that these scientists can use "parabolic calculus" to seamlessly integrate a foreign consciousness into the "afterglow" of dead brain cells, but can't locate the origin of an explosion by simply observing the wreckage.
...
"Source Code" subsists on a sustained note of claustrophobia -- both physical and temporal -- and Jones handles the gradual widening of the film's visual scope with great aplomb, moving from tight angles and disorienting cutting to something more stable and comprehensible. There's a number of great shots (particularly a flourish up through the train's heating vents), and the production design is lovely.
Gyllenhaal could likely do this sort of bedroom-eyed soldier role in his sleep, but he plays the part with great energy and conviction. Farmiga uses the opportunity to add another warmly maternal bureaucrat role to her scorecard, and Wright makes for a nicely sinister string-puller.

I noticed too Jake has a line on the right side of his jaw. I can't tell if it's his stubble or he's got a scar.

Are you the same poster who asked about the "scar" a few posts ago? I can't see anything in the pic you posted, sorry.
11:00 AM, no, I'm not the same poster. Really, you can't see anything? Okay, lol.
Looks like a scratch to me
^^Looks like his laugh line.
Lines aren't reddish.
Sometimes they appear to be.
When?
I see it in pics taken of me, my laugh lines appear reddish sometimes and I hate it.
Jake still smokes, spotted puffing away on ciggies outside of his hotel at sxsw.
He sneak smokes like a lot of other stars. He also only poses and signs stuff for fans at premeire/events and rarely does otherwise. Too serious, cranky and full of himself but polite, especially when he says no to a pic.
As per several FB accounts.
What are you trying to illustrate 11:30?
Just pointing out some truths fangirl@11:30.
BTW, it looks like he may be getting rid of his moles, probably because of the threat of skin cancer.
Looking at these pictures I’ve been wondering if Jake is going to the doctor a lot to get rid of his moles. Some people here are photo experts so they can look and compare, but I think some are missing. Maybe the long term beard (hair beard) thing is to let the skin heal and hide recovery.
Removing a mole leaves a small scar, nothing like that reddish line.
I’m not talking about the line, I’m talking about the missing moles.
Which missing moles? Where?
It does look like Jake has a scratch, and it does look like his moles are missing.
I don't think those kind of moles are associated with cancer, plenty of people have kept their beauty marks, like Cindy Crawford.
Wonder if he got rid of them because they had a feminizing effect.
Maybe the long term beard (hair beard) thing is to let the skin heal and hide recovery.
I don't see any evidence that he's had any of moles removed. But if he had done that would be fairly invasive outpatient surgery and would have left a very visible scar under his ear/on his neck. And since hair does not grow on scar tissue growing out a beard would only highlight the scar area where no hair is growing.
Wonder if he got rid of them because they had a feminizing effect.
You are absolutely delusional.
Some posters here are completely wacko.
So what if he smokes? He probably isn't a heavy smoker, just sporadically. Big deal.
IDK if he removed moles, but if he did maybe he constantly injured them when shaving? I was thinking of removing mine on a delicate place because i always hurt my mole there when shaving.
I don't see any evidence that he's had any of moles removed.
Me neither. How come people who talk about it can't say which moles are removed?
So what if he smokes? He probably isn't a heavy smoker, just sporadically.
And he's not heavy drinker either, just sporadically he can't get out of the bed in the morning. Big deal!
^^He was at a party. Probably had a hangover. So what? Happens to the best of us?
What is your problem with Jake?
I have a problem with people like you who claim that drinking yourself senseless is normal and OK.
How do you know he drank himself sensless? Were you there? Give me a break!
Were YOU there?
Studio rep says Jake Gyllenhaal is not feeling well and his 9AM interviews are rescheduled for late afternoon.
Maybe he just wanted to sleep in. Can't use that excuse to the press so you use the "not feeling well" excuse. Either way, BFD
Sure, it is normal that after months of not working you need some extra sleep.
The hotel bed was too comfy to leave.
He had the early morning shits.
He didn't want to go to work.
Kiki Drunkst looking as if she gained weight. Pregnant?

Why would "pregnant" be your first guess???????
...
Jones' direction is just about as straight-forward as the screenplay in Source Code. There are moments of flare spread throughout none of which have to do with the overly CG explosion on the train. Jones offers a handful of creative shots. Some of these are even hindered by the usage of computer effects, but they offer a hope of a director who has something to say and an incredibly inventive way of saying it.
The pod in which Stevens' is transported to his mission calls back on the minimalism Jones brought to Moon, the simple set that requires one actors talents to make it all real. Some effects thrown into these pod moments work quite effectively, as well, far more so than the grander stage the trains sequences are presented on.
There are moments of real drama found in Source Code as well, and Jones' confidence is allowed to seep into these scenes, to hold the camera steady on his actors' faces and let the moment resonate. A phone call late in the film offers the most genuine emotion the film has to offer while also giving us one of the most inspired voice casting in recent memory. Gyllenhaal may not be as inspired a choice as that voice, but he is quite good in the lead role here. Required to carry just about every scene and able to bring both levity and emotion to the table, his confidence exudes in the character.
Ripe with possibilities that never seem to manifest, and a straight and narrow path from beginning to mind-numbingly expository conclusion, Source Code is a film of hope. Hope first and foremost that it's not an indication of the commercial and very nearly blunted direction Duncan Jones' filmography is headed. It's a definite recession from the cool and cutting Moon, which could be why it was such a disappointment. It's good but not great, and it has come from a director who has shown true signs of the potential for greatness.

I was looking for some reviews on google, but all I find now are the bathroom incident stories.
Finally he's receiving some decent reviews after half a decade and all people talk about is the little scandal he was involved in. Oh my.
Don't worry.Probably,the bathroom incident is a PR plant to bring attention to Jake and the movie
You think 4:10? There supposedly was a reporter from JOBLO (?) in the bathroom when that happened and he tweeted about it.
Movie journalist Erik Davis (along with many others) tweeted about the rumor last night from Austin, "Best story I heard tonight was the guy who tried to take a photo of Jake Gyllenhaal at the urinal, and Jake went all badass on him...Gyllenhaal apparently grabbed the dude mid-photo, threw him against the wall and was like, 'are we really gonna do this right now?'"
We love it! And we certainly want to believe it went down exactly like that.
Sadly, Jake's rep tells E!, "There was no scuffle, it was an excited fan who tried to take his picture in the restroom. He asked the guy to please delete it and he did! No drama."

Take a pic of Jake G. in the bathroom w/o deserving a punch in the face:
http://twitpic.com/498ul6
Looking at the pics on IHJ Jake does appear to have some sort of wound or scar on his cheek that was not there before. Both he and Maggie had a cluster of moles and there are fewer of them now. Dermatologists are often over cautious. Jake lives in CA where the sun shines all the time and he is outdoors jogging or biking a lot. Could be a preventative move re the moles. The facial wound looks recent.
Both he and Maggie had a cluster of moles and there are fewer of them now.
Maggie never had "cluster of moles".
Which Jake's moles are missing? I would say - none.
I would like to know what moles are missing? Can someone post before and after pics?
^^And I must be the only one who doesn't see facial wounds on Jake.
They look like the beginnings of smile lines to me - if you look at the opposite side of his face, you can see the matching one. The follow the same lines.
But don't change a thing, Jake - he doesn't want one of those unnaturally smooth, strangely devoid of emotion faces.
I'm the original poster and was not refering to scars from moles OR to laugh line between nose and mouth.
There is a horizontal line on his right cheek, under the level of the mouth -- when he talks you can see it clearly as his mandibular muscle seemed restrained.
Look at the first video on this page: it's a sword/knife wound.
http://techcrunch.com/2011/03/12/the-source-code/

Yep.

Source Code lets the audience experience the disorientation Colter experiences as he wakes up as someone else, then dies and wakes up again in complete bewilderment. Information is doled slowly, but the script makes sure there’s no awkward data dump as little pieces of key information are worked out. The head of the project, played with brilliant quirk by Jeffrey Wright, is a great mad scientist type character. A throw-back to some great classic horror and sci-fi films with a disheveled evil genius wreaking havoc. The characters peripheral to Colter naturally don’t get too much development, but for the role they play in the story this isn’t too much of a drawback. Colter’s character is well fleshed-out, and his relationships with those around him carry plenty of emotional punch.
That’s another thing that works in this film. It’s a hard sci-fi, but it’s also a touching emotional story. Colter’s situation is truly tragic, and his helplessness and desperation is undeniable. Gyllenhaal plays Colter with the perfect balance of strength and vulnerability. His romantic interest Christina is likeable if a bit boring, as far as characters go but Monaghan still plays the part competently.
Director Duncan Jones brings us something different in this fast-paced action/thriller, a far cry from the plodding, introspective Moon (his last project). Moon was another great sci-fi film, but with a very different atmosphere and pacing. The concept of Moon surrounded a lonely space station worker and his clone. What strikes me is that, as different as these two movies are, they share a certain tragic element. The moral and ethical themes are also dealt with well, as characters are faced with questions of life, death, and the in-between.
Source Code is one of those films that will keep you thinking long after you’ve left the theatre. It reminded me a little bit of 12 Monkeys as far time travel and predestination themes, but it came across as less bleak. Either way, the film is a real treat and is a must see.
Be sure to check out our interview with director Duncan Jones and check back for our roundtable interview with the cast and crew!

He? Only Tom posts on OMG?
Austin was on the East Coast with OTH colleagues, he wasn't anywhere near Jake in months so I doubt anyone was surprised or pissed off.
EVERYONE is disappointed that the pic was deleted!
Austin was talking care of BT, BT2 and BT3 while Jake was giving interviews and getting drunk at the party!
Bad hubby
Anyone has Angelina's number?
Jersey Tom has more heart and love than you trolls will ever know.
I'm disgusted with those comments trashing someone who hasn't even been posting.
You're cowards.
P.S. Blogger has issues this morning so I can't use my real blogger I.D.
As someone noted earlier, the troll is obsessed with every move both Jake and Austin make. He must spend hours every day searching the internet. He then turns around and crows about how we all know this stuff and just are not talking about it.
Contrary to your assertions, we all do have lives, and we don't spend our days trying to figure out where Jake and Austin are 24/7. We know they're still connected, and we don't need to run around "proving it". You, on the other hand, are obsessed with proving they couldn't possibly have been together.
We know who the real loon is, and your hurling insults at us has about as much impact as a drop of water has on a fire.
Jake got so wasted Friday night with his pal David that he was late for his panel on Saturday and had to reschedule his interviews, no wonder he left after, was still proably nursing a hangover.
We know they're still connected, and we don't need to run around "proving it".
Of course you don't, you just demand others to produce proof - remember how you ask people for day to day account of their wherabouts when someone points out that 10.000 tweets about Jake and Austin being apart can't be fake?
We know they're still connected, and we don't need to run around "proving it". You, on the other hand, are obsessed with proving they couldn't possibly have been together.
You are free to believe what ever you want, just be fair and reasonable enough to admit that your opinion is not based on facts.
The fact that Jake and Austin go out of there way to try and show they are not in the same place at the same time when they are doing things that is going to get them publicity is proof enough for me that they are still together. In order to make that happen, they have to know each other's schedules when it comes to public events.
It is particularly ridiculous when they try and make it appear that they are never in LA at the same time. Given that LA is the movie and TV capital of the world, why shouldn't they both be in LA at the same time?
For example, Sophia was seen in LA a number of times during Jake's extended stay there for GG, Academy Awards, etc. Funny how there were no mentions of Austin accompanying her, and yet we're to believe they're attached at the hip. They certainly must film at the same time as Austin is rarely in a scene on OTH without Sophia (Sophia, on the other hand, is often in scenes without Austin). It makes no sense that he wouldn't have been there, attending events as the happy perfect couple.
Keep spinning Destiny
Given that LA is the movie and TV capital of the world, why shouldn't they both be in LA at the same time?
Because Austin works on the East coast + Austin travels with beard a lot + Jake prefers to be in MV to being in LA with Austin ... lots or legit reasons.
+ Jake has family in NYC.
By the way, what is your explanation for why late last week Austin tweeted the exact same thing he had tweeted when he was in Texas last fall, word for word. Not only did it seem to me to be a reference to where he was, it also seemed to be a reference to SC and how actions are repeated over and over again.
You didn't answer the question 11:37. I was asking why Sophia and Jake would be in LA at the same time--which happened a number of times in Jan. and Feb., but that Austin, who you claim travels everywhere with his beard, wasn't there?
Seems to me Austin probably was in LA, but it was kept quiet because Jake was there and attending events that made it known he was in LA.
What is your explanation for no sightings of Austin or Sophia in Austin, TX and for sightings of Austin and Sophia on the East Coast? Austin was no where near Austin, TX this weekend.
You didn't answer the question 11:37.
You are doing it again. You have NO proof, absolutely nothing to support your wishful thinking about Austin being near Jake, but you DEMAND that others provide explanations and proof.
I was asking why Sophia and Jake would be in LA at the same time--which happened a number of times in Jan. and Feb., but that Austin, who you claim travels everywhere with his beard, wasn't there?
I didn't say that Austin travels with the beard every time she takes a plane somewhere - you know that, you are just playing stupid.

As someone noted earlier, the troll is obsessed with every move both Jake and Austin make.
LOL! You are obsessed with every move Sophia makes, we can only guess how much worse it is with Jake and Austin!
Seems to me Austin probably was in LA, but it was kept quiet because Jake was there and attending events that made it known he was in LA.
Why would Austin hide in LA while Jake is working and going to parties?
The fact that Jake and Austin go out of there way to try and show they are not in the same place at the same time when they are doing things that is going to get them publicity is proof enough for me that they are still together.
Show to whom? Who is looking? No one except OMG and WFT2.
You make it sound like Jake and Austin are doing publicity things all the time - they are not, it is just 5-6 days in the last 4 months. Not to mention that using the fact that Jake and Austin aren't spending holidays or any other time together as an argument they are a couple and parents is beyond ridiculous.
When is the last time we've even had a Sophin photo op?
Two weeks ago, IIRK.
No, I'm not referring to a Name the Missing Body Part photo.
I'm talking a Just Jared, red carpet, type legit photo op.
With both faces and all attached limbs.
Yes, I notice when JJ has up pictures of Sophia in LA.
Big difference between that and trolling twitter and FB for every mention of Jake, Austin and Sophia.
Not even a nice try, Destiny.
trolling twitter and FB for every mention of Jake, Austin and Sophia
Trolling????
I understand why you hate facts and information about Jake, Austin and Sophia.
SpecialK most definitely trolls twitter and FB otherwise she wouldn't be able to create new posts every single day. Talk about obsessive. But the problem with that is she leaves out/refuses to post anything that doesn't jibe with the mission of the blog. Jake telling an interviewer that his date for the SC premiere was his best friend and her girlfriend? That little ditty never made it to OMG.
**best friend and HIS girlfriend.
Why would OMG have a problem with Jake hanging out with David and his girlfriend?
OMG hates David because he lives in Austin, TX. You know that Jake has only one reason to go there acording to them, it's Austin!
Never mind that one of his best friends from MV has lived there for years.
They didn't like when he went there last year to celebrate his B-day with him, they were furious.
This time around not only did he hang out with het David and his GF but got drunk according to FB accounts.
They also hate Michelle, Busy, Birdie, Matilda, Busy's husband, Maggie, Petr and Ramona and Austin's sister, his brother and law and his nieces and nephew.

Stop projecting.

lol. Man, someone needs to lay off of the energy drinks.
That whole fanfictional rant at 13:56 is a work of fantasy.
lol at prairegirl pointing fingers at fanfiction, rants and fantasies. Talk about pot and kettle.
"Why would OMG have a problem with Jake hanging out with David and his girlfriend?"
Does anyone think that post-Reese, post-Swift, post-PoP, post-LAOD Jake would even suggest that his best friend didn't have a girlfriend? That this friend was single and possibly involved with Jake? Absolutely not.
Jake's male 'best friend', whoever that happens to be this week, had better have a girlfriend, wife, mistress, or significant other with a vagina. Otherwise, he's off of the 'best friend' Christmas list! Are you listening, Chris?
It's funny that Jake called security to protect him in that bathroom. Jake is so scared of gay rumors right now that he's probably considering security to protect him from the entire gay community.
One of the definitions of trolling is fishing, which is how I meant my use of the word with regards to searching Twitter and FB.
And we're talking about what I know, and what others here may know, not what Special knows. I have no idea what Special knows about J&A, other than what she posts on OMG, and neither do you.
But I do know what sets you off, and that's not having any concrete evidence of where Austin is when Jake is somewhere like Texas.
What the fuck does a piece of shit trying to take a pic of him pissing have to do with anything 3:26? You sound like you are pissed that it was deleted, what the fuck is wrong with you.
He should have kicked his ass, i would have.
And what does the gay community have to do with it or in your demented slash girl brain all gay men should welcome the intrusion.
I have no idea what Special knows about J&A, other than what she posts on OMG, and neither do you
Oh it's pretty easy to ascertain that she has more info than she shares with even you, Destiny.
I love FB, I'm certain SK still hasn't figured out to hack, LOL!
A little sensitive, 4:28? Or is it apologist? ;)
I guess you think that Jake's refusal to hug any men in the past year, take pictures with anyone from the gay community, distance himself from his slightly ambiguous, single ex-best friend in MV or BEARD with anything with a vagina has nothing to do with his reaction in that bathroom?
Do you think that all men call security when some nut-case tries to take their picture in the john?
Now, perhaps Jake was just protecting his privacy.
But perhaps he was also doing ANYTHING he could to dispel any gay-spin on the incident, including reacting out of panic like lots of macho straight men in toilets act in similar situations.
I don't live in a simple universe in which Jake's blindingly obvious, homophobic professional conduct in Hollywood is totally unrelated to his behavior in a public bathroom.
From all indications, Jake (and his PR lackies) link ALL of these events together, even if his dull-witted fans refuse to. Jake is ALWAYS on stage, even in a public bathroom.

What sets us off is your treating WFT2 posters like morons and idiots.
Why do you insist on insulting everyone's intelligence?
YOU have NO evidence about Jake and Austin being in the same city at same time for the last 4 months or longer.
You know that we have no reason to believe that Jake and Austin were together for any of the holidays or Jake's birthday.
You know there there were sightings of Austin and Sophia in Wilmington, NC this weekend.
And you still choose to ignore all that and claim that we might be pissed because there is a theoretical chance that Austin was in Austin, TX? WTF???
P.S. I'm sure Austin would love to hide somewhere while Jake is doing interviews and attends parties.
Well, so you admit to hacking FB Jack. And yes, Special would never do that because some people are not so immoral and so obsessed with where Jake and Austin are that they would ever think of doing anything like that.
Hacking FB? Trolly is now computer expert? LOL, yeah, right.
Ok OMGers repeat after me:
Jake and Austin are not together!
Jake and Austin are not together!
Even if I want them to be.
Jake is by himself and Austin is with whatshername.
girlfriend or beard, it makes no difference.
Soon as you all begin to Realize "this", the world of Jake fandom becomes less important and fun, and you'll begin to see him as an Actor, not this Gay Icon to save the earth. And this is even if he is GAY.. Or Bisexual
and not talking about it. Ok
Do you think that all men call security when some nut-case tries to take their picture in the john?
If a complete stranger followed me into a restroom for the express purpose of trying to take a picture of me and my junk you bet your ass I'd call security AND the police. That is most definitely an actionable offense.
Whatever crazyass posters trying to defend some nutbag lunatic attempting to take a picture of Jake at the urinal is really disgusting. I don't care if Jake is gay or gay friendly, he deserves his privacy just as every other human being using public restrooms. Weird so-called fans seem to expect Jake to turn the cheek as if he should. He does not have to. Jake had every right to wup his ass or go berserk on him. Thank goodness he handled it well.
If it was any female, celeb or non celebrity, the whole internet and every fan on this site would be up in arms and want justice, but since Jake has gay rumors he's free game.
What a bunch of pretentious jerks.
Whatever crazyass posters trying to defend some nutbag lunatic attempting to take a picture of Jake at the urinal is really disgusting.
LOL! Drama queen much? You need to go out more.
I see the troll can't handle the fact that Jake and Austin are happily married with children.
The video showing Jake in the audience was brief as the troll said himself. Who knows how long he stayed there. I doubt he stayed for the entire film. And just because others were in the balcony does not mean Austin was not there as well. They both navigate unseen when they want to. It would not surprise me if they get some assistance with make up and hair to help disguise themselves and avoid being recognized.
m, we all know you don't believe that you and the rest of the loons are just having another meltdown because he was there with his pal David, LOL!!
Go seek help.
Austin and Sophia were in Wilmington, NC last weekend.
Jake attended a party after "Source Code" screening.
Why would Austin go to Austin, TX? To hide in shadows for 1,5 days? Why would he do that when Jake doesn't work for a year and can be near Austin almost all the time?
It would not surprise me if they get some assistance with make up and hair to help disguise themselves and avoid being recognized.
LOL. Please tell me you're yanking our chains. Yeah, I can picture Austin sitting up in the balcony with Groucho Marx nose and glasses!
LOL :)

LOL! The loons have finally jumped the shark!
It would not surprise me if they get some assistance with make up and hair to help disguise themselves and avoid being recognized
^^ YOU need SERIOUS help!
How about a vacation, say at least 5 months away from toothy and therapy.
But they ARE actors! :)
You believe what you want Jack, and we'll believe what we want, and we really don't care if it drives you batty. It's pretty amusing to see how worked up you get about what other people think.
Not convinced Austin was in Wilmington on Saturday, based on one random tweet, when nobody on the OTH boards seem to have seen him since early last week.
And even if he was there Saturday night, we have no news of where he or Jake have been the past couple of days.
The only time Austin seems to be recognized is when he is with Sophia, or filming in Wilmington. Sightings of Austin are otherwise are extremely rare. Which means he can and does go out and about without being recognized.
Which means he can and does go out and about without being recognized.
Well said Destiny. I remember an interesting discussion on OMG about the clues that Austin gives in his tweets about disguises. And Ted has given us clues about this also. The troll's head is spinning because we are so close to the truth.
we have no news of where he or Jake have been the past couple of days
So?
The point is: based on 1.000 times we KNOW Jake and Austin have chosen not to spend time together, there is NO reason to believe that Jake and Austin are a couple + there is less than zero reasons to believe they are parents.
I remember an interesting discussion on OMG about the clues that Austin gives in his tweets about disguises.
1. Give us one tweet example.
2. Where / when would he do something insane and humiliating like that?
Which means he can and does go out and about without being recognized.
Which means he is a little known actor on a crappy nighttime soap opera that not very many people watch. It does not mean he's running around with wigs and make-up. If that's the case, do you think he's "disguising" himself in the famous "Leadville" pic that you think is him? And please stop calling everyone Jack or a troll simply because they point out the absurdity of some of these arguments. It's so old.
Which means he can and does go out and about without being recognized.
Destiny is correct. Austin has the best disguises that a OTH salary can buy
Cool!
Austin certainly has an uncanny ability to work people up, that's for sure.
So much hysteria for someone on a crappy nighttime show.
So much anxiety.
Atticus' boyfriend in disguise
You're funny, 11:07.
Jake Gyllenhaal no fan of toilet cam at SXSW - video animation
great reviews here and there.
"I see the troll can't handle the fact that Jake and Austin are happily married with children. "
I see Jaustin nuts can't handle the fact that a lot don't believe in jaustin pinky ridiculous tale!!
You know, no wonder why this moron of ted get divorced, I bet his ex husband rolles his eyes each time he reads the blind item column tinking with despair how such creepy story teller teddy would have been as hollywood scenarist! what a desillusion!
"It would not surprise me if they get some assistance with make up and hair to help disguise themselves and avoid being recognized."
yeah right! surely the nanny. She is multi fonction, keeping the kids and making up daddy austin from time to time for the big events with hubby. Last time he played the red carpet! yes yes....of course nobody noticed which is the ultimate proof she deseves recognition for her incredible sense of camouflage.
Austin certainly has an uncanny ability to work people up, that's for sure.

Nice try, again. Why do you keep insisting there is "hysteria" or "anger" or "fear". Too bad you can't recognize amusement and common sense.
But who spends so much time on something they don't even find believable?
You're the one who can't let it go. Normally, people move along and don't waste any more time on something they find so ludicrous.
No, you're the amusing one.
12:00 PM - this is not OMG, we don't ignore people who post here when we don't agree with them.
chrisetilly: My Jake Gyllenhaal bathroom incident was just on CNN. Only at #SXSW!
