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.

So sweet, Austin is taking a break from his husband and kids!

Truth hurts, doesn't it?
Flying across the Earth tomorrow. Thing I will miss the most... @SophiaBush
LOL! Austin calls Sophia a "thing". I suppose a beard is a thing.
Still bitter about being ignored at OMG 1:56 - obviously an ex poster.
Still playing stupid and avoiding answering questions you don't like or can't answer? How very OMG from you.
Austin calls Sophia a "thing".
Well, he couldn't tweet about mmissing his toys the most :)
LOL! no-one owes you anything - ergo no-one has to answer your fail questions.
Thanks for confirming my opinion!
Typical OMG poster! They feel entitled to complain and demand, but it is beneath them to answer questions.
They have nothing to say, so they post things like "no-one owes you anything - ergo no-one has to answer your fail questions". Real smart!
LOL! Austin calls Sophia a "thing".
But he'll miss her the most and no one else is mentioned - I'm sure Sophia is satisfied.
"I'm sure Sophia is satisfied."
Not sexually though (by Austin)
No problem, I have rechargeable batteries!
So sweet, Austin is taking a break from his husband and kids!
Austin and Sophia has children?
Why would you call Sophia the husband? Do they role play? LOL
Austin doing hanky panky in fishnets and Sophia in cop uniform. Bad Austin. I want to watch.
can you imagine tall lanky Austin in Fishnets and heels and Sophia with hand cuffs?
Sounds like fun.
O.O

Even if “Source Code” casts him in an action/sci-fi variation on “Groundhog’s Day,” Jake Gyllenhaal isn’t fantasizing about any personal life do-overs. He rather use a time-rewind to do good for others.
“I’ve lived a blessed life,” says the actor, who plays a character who must continually re-explore eight minutes someone else’s life in order to avert a major catastrophe. “I think with regret, regardless of what it might be, if you listen to it is the best teacher, in the way that it has allowed me to live more presently.”
“But in the wake of something like what is going on in Japan, even around the world,” Gyllenhaal continues, “I can’t think about something that I would want to go back and re-live in my life, because my life has so far been pretty extraordinary. I would want there to be something like this computer program in the movie: Imagine if you had the ability to go back into a nuclear scientist’s body in Japan, or eight minutes before something happened – you could warn thousands of people what was going on. That’s what I would use it for. It’s hard for me to think about something for myself in the situation that is going on right now.”
Gyllenhaal says shooting the structure-bending “Source Code,” directed by “Moon’s” Duncan Jones, was a treat despite his character’s return to the same eight-minute time sequence because each step forward in the story gave each sequence a fresh new set of action, drama – and a little comedy, to both illuminate the audience and build greater suspense.
Jake Gyllenhaal joins the Hoyle Jackson launch party as they present their men's collection at Bloomingdales Santa Monica, with artist John Van Hamersveld, Friday evening, March 18, 2011, in Santa Monica, California.

N_Simone: Spotted: Jak Gyllenhaal on 12th and Ave A... #sharingiscaring
about 1 hour ago
...
Gyllenhaal made his big-screen debut playing Billy Crystal’s son Danny in 1991’s “City Slickers.”
“It was crazy to be a kid on a major movie set,” he said. “I couldn’t believe that I was that close to Billy Crystal. To this day, I remember the wardrobe I wore, being in the makeup trailer and working with that cow that played Norman.”
He was a giving co-star.
“Remember the last scene at the airport with the family in the van with our new pet?” he asks. “The cow was peeing all over me.”
After that warm welcome to the biz, he went on to do roles in all kinds of films, from the small and independent (“Donnie Darko,” “The Good Girl”) and big blockbusters (“The Day After Tomorrow”). He became an international sensation playing a gay cowboy in Ang Lee’s “Brokeback Mountain.” His memories of working with co-star Heath Ledger are precious to him.
“I remember seeing him after we were both cast. We were at this party and we didn’t have real space to talk. But somehow we found a little corner and we started doing some of the lines,” he said. “We both thought the story was so beautiful and we wanted to service that story in whatever way possible.
“We had no time to waste.”
Gyllenhaal said his next film is “a beautiful screenplay about two Los Angeles police department officers. It’s about the nature of duty and friendship, and about the reasons why young guys put their lives in danger.”
No escaping the spotlight
Gyllenhaal’s only danger is the stalking paparazzi. He has had high-profile relationships with Kirsten Dunst, Reese Witherspoon and Taylor Swift.
“It would be great to just play characters and lose yourself in them while the audience loses themselves in the characters you play,” he said. “I’d much rather they know less about me and more about the characters.
“I don’t like having my life played out in the media. I’d much rather keep my private life private. At the same time, I completely understand the interest in an actor’s personal life. I am very forgiving of little 9-year-old girls who run up and say, ‘I want to marry you.’”
Gyllenhaal’s young fan club also includes his 4-year-old niece Ramona Sarsgaard, the daughter of his sister Maggie and actor Peter Sarsgaard.
“Family is the most important thing to me. I love being with my niece,” Gyllenhaal said. “Since my niece came into my life, I have a new perspective on spending time around the dinner table with the people who are special.”
They won’t have to deal with his movie star attitude, because there is none.
“If I developed an attitude, my mom would give me a real good whupping.”

Jake Gyllenhaal wants to don director’s hat
March 25th, 2011
London, Mar 25 (ANI): ‘Brokeback Mountain’ star Jake Gyllenhaal is planning to direct films in the future because he constantly worries about his longevity as an actor.
The actor fears his onscreen appeal will eventually wane and he wants to expand his Hollywood career by making his own movies.
“Well, I do have a number of things that I’m developing. That’s probably where the future lies for me – but I’m not going to give up the day job just yet. I’d like to see where it goes,” the Daily Star quoted him as saying.
“You’re always wondering how long this will last. It’s a piece of being an actor. There’s always someone more talented or younger than you. But I also like to write. In years to come, I think that will expand. I won’t just be scrapping for the next job. Maybe I’ll create something for myself,” he added. (ANI)

God, really. The next time he tries to spin this bullshit I wish the interviewer would shove that USWeekly cover of him and Swift in his face and call him on it.
I am very forgiving of little 9-year-old girls who run up and say, ‘I want to marry you.’”
Oh, ffs. Just stop, Jake, please.
I am very forgiving of little 9-year-old girls who run up and say, ‘I want to marry you.’”
9-year-old girls watch PoP? Or LAOD? And dream about 20 years older men?
I am very forgiving of little 9-year-old girls who run up and say, ‘I want to marry you.’"
Then why did you break up with me?
^^LOL.
9-year-old girls watch PoP? Or LAOD? And dream about 20 years older men?
No, that would be me.
I see the trolls are here trying to stir up the shit. It wont work. You are too obvious for words. As for there not being any evidence that BT exists because there isnt any. Thats not true. Ted has said at least 3 or 4 times that at least one Baby Tile exists and is human. If you dont like what he says or what is said on OMG or even here there is a simple solution dont visit. Stick to your home site at babblers. You will be much happier.
Ted's gossip is not evidence.
Ted's gossip is not evidence.
Don't bother. Deluded Ted kool-aid drinkers can't be reasoned with.
US Weekly gossip is not 'evidence' either. Lainey is not 'evidence'. Neither is anything written in Life & Style and People, ladies.
Just so we keep it balanced.
Don't bother. Deluded Ted kool-aid drinkers can't be reasoned with.
So true, it's like talking to a worm or a rock. They don't think and they can't hear you.
LOL
but Ted said???
^ LOL :)
US Weekly gossip is not 'evidence' either.
Arranged photo op with Taylor Swift for US Weekly cover is evidence ("leaves" photos) about the showmance.
Us Weekly Web article lying about Jake attending Swift's birthday, which was deleted after reporters talked with Jake in his LA home (Golden Globe nomination) is evidence about the showmance.
So yes, it is possible to find evidence even in rags.
^^^^ attending Swift's birthday party
So yes, it is possible to find evidence even in rags.
But, even that evidence is circumstantial. It's suggestive that something is going on, but I'm sure lots of people could twist and turn the disappearing act to mean something completely innocent. There is a lot to point to Jake and Austin having, at least, one child. Particularly, early on, Ted had lots of contacts. True much of the evidence is circumstantial, but until Jake admits what is going on in his private life, there will be no definitive proof. Not about him being gay. And, not about him being a father. Even though I'm pretty much convinced of both.
We know for sure that Jake is faking relationships with women for YEARS. He's gay.
Tted still has lots of contacts. He gives us special clues all the time.
Yeah, but let's face it, someone could argue he does that just because he doesn't want people to know what's really gone on behind close doors and/or because of his career. Faking public relationships doesn't automatically mean that he's gay.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying Jake's isn't gay. I definitely believe he is. Just saying one can always argue anything, in the absence of smoking gun proof. Personally, I don't think Ted would have continued to write about Baby Tile if there wasn't one. He's never written Blind Items about other gay actors pursuing fatherhood in the closet. Just Toothy. So given the other circumstantial evidence of BT, I pretty much think Jake is a father.
But, even that evidence is circumstantial.
Jake's PR is paid to hide the truth about Jake, to sell mirrors and smoke. PR works with tabloids and other media to sell mirrors and smoke. We get evidence from tabloids when they make mistakes.
Ted has given more evidence than any other source.
Tted still has lots of contacts. He gives us special clues all the time.
I was aware of Toothy Tile gossip long before Reeke, but ONLY after seeing Reeke faking in Rome I was convinced that Jake is in the closet.
Same goes for BT - Ted can write 3 books about BT, but I won't believe it unless I see something that suggests he's right. I'm not talking about hard proof, I'm talking about anything that would indicate BT exist.

9-year-old girls watch PoP?
They do. I was 10 when I had a big crush on an almost 30 y/o Johnny Depp. Happens.
It happens, but I just have a hard time believing the Jake of today is the kind of guy 10 year olds get crushes on.
The TT tale is now fanfic slash and Ted knows it, he is catering to slash fangirls who seem to like the idea of 2 closeted actors having 12 BT's and hiding them in the attic.
Just because you have a hard time believing it destiny doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
So little girls from Edible Schoolyard program approach Jake with "I would love to marry you". I know that's not Jake's fault, but I find it real creepy :)
...
The film is a wild, sci-fi ride in eight-minute intervals. “It’s Groundhog Day as a thriller,” Gyllenhaal says of the film, which was shot last year in Montreal.
It’s actually a little more than that for the actor, who has been attached to the project since its early stages. In fact, he was responsible for bringing in Jones as director, who was previously best known as David Bowie’s son, until the filmmaker released the well-received sci-fi flick Moon in 2009.
“Duncan was at the top of the list, but I never thought he would do it,” Gyllenhaal says. The creative confederacy turned out to be a good fit. “Each of the source codes had to be different, so we had fun constantly thinking about variations,” Gyllenhaal explains. “It was a constant process of exploration, and that’s what we like.”
Adds Jones: “I also wanted to put some humour into the movie, and Jake felt the same way.”
Both also agreed on the same approach to shooting scenes. They let the cameras roll, and improvised bits when the situation would allow it.
“I think my strength is to do a take all the way through,” the actor says. “I am definitely not someone who can do a sprint. Maybe I am not that smart, but it takes me a while to find the moment, and I like to be pushed toward it.”
Indeed, Gyllenhaal maintains that Jones has a great deal in common with his Brokeback Mountain director, Ang Lee. “They both give clear directions. Ang would say, ‘Not sexy at all. Sexier.’ And Duncan would say things like, ‘OK, say it weirder.’ ”
Casting seemed to work out, as well, especially with the selection of Monaghan, who has received acclaim for roles in North Country and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
“Michelle’s the audience eyes for this film, so it was important to relate to her,” Gyllenhaal says. She returns the compliment: “Jake’s so easy to act with, because he loves his job.”

So little girls from Edible Schoolyard program approach Jake with "I would love to marry you". I know that's not Jake's fault, but I find it real creepy :)
that happens often. little girls have crushes on adult HW male idols all the time. Especially years ago. Nowadays it's frowned upon to even think this could happen and the person (adult HW male idol) can easily seem or become the "creepy old man" because of the way society is now. But, it's the complete opposiet when a young boy has a crush on an adult female idol. Farrah Faucett anyone? Come to think of it, that may not be acceptabe in society today.
You are right, it's not Jake's fault and no one should even suggest it.
We love it when a hot man reveals his feminine side...
The actor has revealed that the only way he can win a game on his games console is if he listens to Whitney Houston - with Dance With Somebody and I Will Always Love You being his favourites!
Musicrooms.net reports that the actor, who is too shy to sing in public, saying: "I don’t really do karaoke that much! What’s that song I Just Wanna Dance With Somebody? I always want to do The Bodyguard soundtrack I Will Always Love You. I like that.
“No, maybe just a bit of Wii tennis (on set), while I’m singing Whitney’s I Will Always Love You. That’s the only way to do it really. You can’t play Wii tennis when you’re not listening to Whitney Houston.”
The TT tale is now fanfic slash and Ted knows it, he is catering to slash fangirls who seem to like the idea of 2 closeted actors having 12 BT's and hiding them in the attic.
^^ So True. It amazes me how some can't see this. In the words of Jake G, "AMAZING"!
For someone who is hiding that he's gay, has a lover/husband(lol) and a child or two, he did not seem to act as if, on Jimmy Kimmel. You know, his childhood friend tying his necktie and being caught. Jimmy even joked "maybe I should get your boyfriend to help me with my ties". Very Funny.
11:51 AM - are you trying to sell "Jake isn't gay"?
No 11:56 I think he could be sexually attracted to male and female. MY opinion.
Don't believe in Babytile at all!
Ted is playing with his crowd. Very simple.
^^ and, I'm Selling Nothing.
The TT tale is now fanfic slash and Ted knows it, he is catering to slash fangirls who seem to like the idea of 2 closeted actors having 12 BT's and hiding them in the attic.
That is complete nonsense. Why the heck would Ted want to appeal to slash fans by making up the fact that Jake is a father? Slash is about smex not about parenting. Never mind the obvious that Ted's mention of BT goes way back to January, 2007. Talk about making sh*t up. Maybe you should take up slash. Because you definitely love to spin tales of your own.
For someone who is hiding that he's gay, has a lover/husband(lol) and a child or two, he did not seem to act as if, on Jimmy Kimmel.
I thought that Jake's PR game was more than transparent, but looks like we need to spill it out.
"His childhood friend tying his necktie and being caught" story = Jake's "let me tell you why some silly people think I'm gay". Not even a nice try.
Gay, gay, gay? No, just gay gay!
12:05 Ted has even recently tried to turn TT away from being Jake.
Teds Blind Item became much bigger than he ever anticipated so he has to cater to the fans, or he would be much smaller in HW than he is now. Ted is small compared to the other gossip and celebs at E and HW.
Ted makes up shit and has shown no evidence of anything. The only thing he has done right is point the finger towards Austin being Jake's interest in 2005. Six years ago. An eternity in young HW relationships, but NO, J/A could never break up! Give me a break.
Babytile comedy was the last straw for most fans of Ted and TT. It makes no sense, sorry.
You can gush over the happy fathers and hidden children if you want to, but you're following a joke and it's on the BT believers.
Jake and Austin are over also.

Ever here of farcical humor or irony? Basically, Jake thinks people won't think he's gay by bringing the subject up himself. You know poking fun at what other's on saying about him? I'm convinced this was one of the reasons Jake thought he could get away with doing Brokeback Mountain. After all, a gay closeted actor would never take a part that hit so close to home (too risky). People might begin to draw conclusions, you know?
Yet remember, that is what Toothy Tile is like. He loves to take risks. Likes the idea of maybe getting caught and putting something over on the public. Actually, it's one part of Jake I do not like so much. The old, "Catch me if you can," act.
No 11:56 I think he could be sexually attracted to male and female. MY opinion.
Too bad there is no reason to believe Jake is attracted to women.
Jake and Austin are over also.
Good to know you're so connected. Who's Jake with these days then? And, when exactly did Austin and Jake break up? How many times did they do the nasty. Oh, and do you have photos too. Is Jake versatile or a preferred top or bottom. And, what's his favorite position. I'm so tired of these professed know-it-alls. Look we are all just speculating here. Sell your certainty somewhere else. Only babblers and fangirls are buying it.
"His childhood friend tying his necktie and being caught" story = Jake's "let me tell you why some silly people think I'm gay". Not even a nice try.
^^ and YOU would SPIN it that way. Are you sure you don't work for Public Relations?
It could also mean, who gives a f*** about those rumors on those blogs. And laugh at them even if he's str8, gay or bi. He don't give a sh*t. And why should he?
Something tells me that if Jimmy would have brought up anything suggesting he was gay and the gay rumors, if Jake would have sweated bullets, you would be saying "see, look at him, he's hiding, he can't even talk about it".
YOU want it both ways don't you?
Jake could never win from you unless he drapes himself in the rainbow flag.
So self righteous!!
12:27 PM - common sense and logic have no alternatives.
If Jake can hide his relationship and marriage with Austin Nichols, he can hide his lovers and boyfriends, too.
And, when exactly did Austin and Jake break up?
Long time ago, before Jake, Austin and Sophia photo op.
Jake and Austin don't give a shit about being together for years, they are over.
Greetings to my friend Jake from Indonesia! Lots of cute boys here, don't really think about you!
they just want a hot young Hollywood star to lead the gay parade so they can say, "See, hot Jake G is one of us".
How about the other hot young hollywood stars with Rumors. LOL
TT fans need Jake
If Jake can hide his relationship and marriage with Austin Nichols
^^
MARRIAGE? OMG
Someone is Really a Ted/TT Bubblehead. This person needs a life. WTF - Marriage?????
Jake and Austin???? LMAO
12:32 PM - as you know, Jake Gyllenhaal is gay. We didn't beard for him - Jake bearded and proved his gayness.
12:33 PM, keep posting on JiG blog and trashing other posters is a proof that you have a life?! You are an idiot.
Long time ago, before Jake, Austin and Sophia photo op.,
If they were already broken up then why did Jake and Austin do their photo op the very day after The Prince of Persia opened. Like they couldn't wait to be seen together. Sophia Bush was there just to satisfy Jake's handlers (in the background). That photo op was about Jake and Austin, not about Sophia.
Btw: Don't forget Leadville. That's Austin (and his ears) in that photo and it was taken in late August, 2010.
Long time ago, before Jake, Austin and Sophia photo op.
That argument makes no sense. Why would Jake even bother having a photo op, if he and Austin had already broken up?
MARRIAGE? OMG
Someone is Really a Ted/TT Bubblehead. This person needs a life. WTF - Marriage?????
Jake and Austin???? LMAO
Jake was the one who said he was married. Not Ted.
I don't know of any slash fiction that centers around Jake being a father. And, your conclusion that slash writers and readers have no children is based on what? Again, you just love making stuff up with absolutely no evidence.
The photo of Jake, Austin and Sophia was a pap shot probably because of the rumors, but it was nothing wrong with it. Austin and Sophia together as lovers, Jake and Austin as best buds - still. Even (IF) they did have a special relationship in the past.
It shows they are still friends.
Or maybe they have been nothing but friends.
Nothing wrong with the photo.
If they were already broken up then why did Jake and Austin do their photo op the very day after The Prince of Persia opened. Like they couldn't wait to be seen together. ... That photo op was about Jake and Austin, not about Sophia.
You have forgot that Jake and Austin did photo ops before and didn't need Sophia. Jake and Austin "couldn't wait to be seen together" so much that they are fine with staying appart for months.
Btw: Don't forget Leadville. That's Austin (and his ears) in that photo and it was taken in late August, 2010.
You can repeat that lie 1.000.000 times but nothing can change that photo and everyone can check and see that man in the photo is not Austin.
Even (IF) they did have a special relationship in the past.
It shows they are still friends.
^^ the gay guys here and the slashy fan girls don't want to hear this.
NEVERRRR J/A are still togeher, ForEver. LOL
That argument makes no sense. Why would Jake even bother having a photo op, if he and Austin had already broken up?
A favour to Austin and Sophia, remember how those two started working on their publicity with Twitter?
Jake was the one who said he was married. Not Ted.
Another lie.
OMG claimed that Jake and Austin are married (based on Ted's gossip) long before that marriage quote.
Jake also said that he has no kids.
There is no audience for Jake and Austin slash and I'm not talking aboit them but other slash pairings that the fangirls write about.
Jake and Heath/Jack/Ennis hve an audience.
Ted just gave the fangirls what they wanted: married with kids, LOL!
12:21PM#1 is hilarious and doesn't know it. Thinks Ted is completely full of shit and spinning fanfic, but obviously follows Ted obsessively and has for years and also obviously can't stop following the Toothy Tile BV. You could easily stop following Ted, this blog, anything related to JIG but you can't. Wonder why that is... ;)
I thought that Jake's PR game was more than transparent, but looks like we need to spill it out.
"His childhood friend tying his necktie and being caught" story = Jake's "let me tell you why some silly people think I'm gay". Not even a nice try.
THIS. Exactly. So totally transparent it's not even funny. It's pathetic the way they're always trying new tactics. He doesn't need to come out, but just stop already with the bullshit.
Poor jaustaloon @1:49, knows ted is full of shit and hates the latest fanfic he is spewing.
Go spin away on that slash site called OMG and bitch and moan about Jake butching it up because we all know that gay men are all fem, campy and fuck and suck 24/7 ain't that right MM???
Jake also said that Reese was his girlfriend and that he isn't gay. So what? He lies.
Jake never said that RW was his girlfriend.
Yes, he did. Remember that Beverly Hills press conference in December, 2009?
"I've learned so much from the kids in my life, and somehow they just become the center of your life and the way you look at things. Obviously, I exist in my girlfriend's world and my sister's world in a different way, but it's opened my heart and I feel much more grown up as a result of it."
As you just confirmed with that quote, Jake never said that RW is/was his girlfriend.
Go spin away on that slash site called OMG and bitch and moan about Jake butching it up because we all know that gay men are all fem, campy and fuck and suck 24/7 ain't that right MM???,
I'm not spinning anything. And, no I don't post over at OMG. But, now that you mention Jake's fem ways, you have to admit that he does often ping and he was the one that mentioned singing songs to The Bodyguard. If you look at Jake in his younger days, he was a classic twink. So yeah, Jake does have his campy side. And, I am sure that he is quite sexual as well. What's wrong with that? Sounds like you're the homophobe.
As you just confirmed with that quote, Jake never said that RW is/was his girlfriend.
Who is he talking about then? Of course, he's talking about Reese. Who the heck was he seen with the past 2 years?
Jake wanted everyone to think he's dating the chin since October 2007, we all know that. The point is that Jake never mentioned her name, never said he's dating or was dating her.
Probably still trying to win her back after she dumped him.
LOL, that's bullshit. It was Jake who stayed in NYC during Thanksgiving, remember? If he cared about the showmance, he would be in LA.
Now that I see that quote again, it's interesting that Jake is talking about "the kids" in his life. There's no way he was talking about Deacon and Ava. They were hardly the center of his life at anytime during that fauxmance charade. If fact, Jake looked pretty awkward whenever he was around them. And, don't forget those yogurt shots in September, 2009. He was running away from them as fast as those gorgeous gams could carry him.
If you look at Jake in his younger days, he was a classic twink.
What's your definition of a classic twink?
Oh, I think Jake wanted Reese around through Pop. That was the plan.
When I look at pics of teen Jake, I see an awkward looking teen who seemed to have a fun personality.
It's pretty clear Reese dumped Jake. She hooked up with that Toth fella with lightning speed. Almost like she wanted to tell folks that the whole past two years was not real. Remember one of her friends stating that she was just trying to "help" Jake. What the heck does that mean. I think she was always looking to protect herself, in case the truth ever came out.
Speaking of pinging despite his effort to appear butch Jake pinged like a gong all through that interview with Kimmel.

Who also looked like a twink!
Oh, I agree. That Kimmel interview was something else. Jake definitely was pinging loud and clear.
Who also looked like a twink!
Not really. But I guess people see what they want to see.
Twink or twinkie is a gay slang term describing a young or young-looking gay man (in his late teens or early twenties) with a slender build, little or no body hair, and no facial hair.[4][5] In some societies, the term chick or chicken is preferred.[6] The related term twinkle-toes, which implies that a man is effeminate, tends to be used in a derogatory manner.[7] The terms can be complimentary or pejorative.[8][9]
Oh, I think Jake wanted Reese around through Pop.
Jake didn't want the chin around Brothers and much less around PoP, he obviously didn't want to make showmance "walking the red carpet together" or "attending premieres together" or "talking about girlfriend RW" official.
I'm not saying Jake is gay, but to me personally if he is gay, he isn't one of the effeminate types, he seems to be a regular guy who loves sports and is a joker. A guy's guy (gay or straight, no matter). IMO.
^^It's funny that many on WFT see him as girly, effeminate though. I never did.
twink: a young gay man (18-22), slender, smooth, fresh-faced, an older man's eye candy. Often sweet looking and definitely habit forming. And yes, Jake often dressed very colorfully when he was younger. Jewelry, yellow scarfs, tight pants. I remember Jake use to crack jokes about BowFlex commercials and Moby Dick! Ping, ping, ping.
Jake and tight pants? Pics please? I'd love to see that pic, but I never saw one with him in tight pants.
Now Heath wore tight pans and he wore em well. ;) But that's hipster style. He and Michelle were/are hipsters.
Jake looked like a dork:

Good thing he grew up a handsome man.
Twink is so subjective though. In the eyes of an older gay man ANY young, good-looking younger guy could be considered a "twink". But Jake was never a twink in the "classic" sense.
I'm not saying Jake is gay, but to me personally if he is gay, he isn't one of the effeminate types...
Jake has "gay voice". He's not as effeminate as Chris Colfer, but he's not as masculine as Tom Cruise either.
Jake's face was rarely fresh faced, he always at least sported a little stubble.
^^smoothed faced

Twinks are only very young guys who aren't very masculine.
Jake has "gay voice".
He hasn't a very deep voice, but there are many straight guys who don't have either.
Is it ok to generalize people? Are you a woman or a man?
It is OK to tell the truth - nothing wrong with being gay or feminine.
So all gay guys have high pitched voices and are feminine. If you say so, alright.
I am a man. Why?
^ I'm 3:33 p.m.
Tom Cruise gay rumors must be a lie than, guy has a deep voice. Mystery over. People don't need gaydar, they just need to listen to a man's voice.
It is OK to tell the truth - nothing wrong with being gay or feminine.
No there is nothing wrong with being gay or feminine, but apparently there is a LOT wrong with being gay or masculine, because it invariably sends some into a total freak-out at the mere mention or suggestion of a photo.
So all gay guys have high pitched voices and are feminine.
Don't make things up - read comments, no one said nor implied that.

Does your playing stupid have a point?
I'm not playing stupid, but there are many alarmingly stupid posters on here.
No one's freaked out about masculine looking gays. Jake is just not one of them. He has a soft, sweet, and gentle air about him. He exudes sensitivity. Yes, he can be goofy too, but in a childlike, wide-eyed kind of way.
"Tom Cruise gay rumors must be a lie than, guy has a deep voice" - you are playing stupid. Or maybe you have gay voice and don't like it.
Jake's face was rarely fresh faced, he always at least sported a little stubble.
Then you need to go back and look at Jake from the time he was 17 until about 23/24. His twink years. Yes, he is fresh faced. Often!
But, now that you mention Jake's fem ways, you have to admit that he does often ping and he was the one that mentioned singing songs to The Bodyguard.
let me see if I get this. being a fem gay man with a high pitch voice and all things gay is a bad thing, and the same gays use this to fault or belittle someone they think is gay? Then use all the regular stereotypes of gay men to claim someones gay? Such as Jake liking W Houston songs.
You gays and Slash fans don't know what you want.
Dont' forget that adorable Gyllen giggle that Jake has. It is beyond sweet. Alas, not very masculine, but so what?
let me see if I get this.
Sorry, you didn't get anything. WFT2 posters have no problem with Jake's femininity and don't think he's gay because he's feminine.
No one is finding fault with Jake's femi ways. He is adorable.
His twink years
You see him as a twink in his younger years, I don't. I guess we have to agree to disagree.
What makes Jake feminine?
Voice, giggling, jazz hands, softness, South Pacific and Bodyguard tunes :)
P.S. I'm not complaining :)
this is truly a gay blog. LOL
I guess, Fem gay also huh? LOL
You see him as a twink in his younger years, I don't. I guess we have to agree to disagree.
That's fine. But, if you look at Tumblrs dedicated to Jake in his early years, you will see otherwise. Searach for photos around 2000-01, especially.
^I meant "search"
^^ no wonder the mean attitude of some posters.
That's the difference. Most masculine gay men don't get upset about these things. All of the masculine gay/bi guys who think Jake is gay or have heard the rumor of Jake being gay, don't give a shit. If he is, it's a so-what attitude. They think he's sexy, but are not mad at anything about Jake. If he comes out good, if not, It's his life.
It's seems to be the fem gays who get riled up and think Jake owes them something.
As if they're gonna get a date. LOL
That's the truth.
I don't think Austin Nichols is the right match for Jake, I doubt they are even together anymore. I think Jake and Heath made a great match, I think there was an emotional connection. That idiot Heath had to od of course.
Poor jaustaloon @1:49,

LOL. You are so predictable. I don't believe J/A are a couple and I don't visit OMG. But, of course, you can never answer the question as to why you hang on Ted's every word and hang on every word here and at OMG. All you can do is throw out that same lame crap about "jaustaloons" that you think is so freaking witty. No one is impressed, lol.
Mencari pertandingan saya!

How are these qualities strictly feminine? Can't a masculine guy be gentle, goofy, sensitive? I know plenty who are. And they listen to all kinds of music. Just put Jake within a ten-mile radius of a motorcycle, and some freak out.
Heath was the perfect example of a guy who exhibits the best of both - masculine, but gentle, sweet and sensitive.
Heath had a masculine body, but was very, very sensitive (from ALL accounts).

Great minds think alike. ;)

Yeah, he was an interesting, unique guy. :(
I often had the impression that Jake watched Heath's reactions during their promo time and tried to cheer him up with jokes etc.
He [Jake] said that he would look out for Heath in an interview. :)

Naomi Watts is just such a pretty, petite woman and Liev Schreiber is hot and they have the prettiest kids in Hollywood.
And she was so good to Heath. :)
Jake Gyllenhaal stops by a custom motorcycle shop on Friday (March 25) in Los Angeles.
Earlier this week, the 30-year-old actor made an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Jake’s Source Code co-star, Michelle Monaghan, recently dished on working with him in the thriller. “Honestly, it’s not too hard to have a really good rapport with Jake,” she said. “He’s a terrific guy and a really supportive actor.

He [Jake] said that he would look out for Heath in an interview. :)
I had the impression that Heath would have hated for someone to look out for him. But unfortunately he wasn't really able to take care of himself, even though he probably thought he could and probably convinced others too that he could.
IA. :(
And she was so good to Heath. :)
She was. After their break up I read that she supposedly thought Michelle was just an on set fling, but was crushed when she got preggo. Luckily her friends hooked her up with Liev and she quickly (after a year though) got pregnant too. In her case it's understandable being 40 years old.
It wasn't just Jake's big doe eyes and youthfulness back in his early days.
It was the cut-off tops/sweaters that he wore, always exhibiting his trail. It was in the "come hither" poses that he did.
It's those two things that made Jake "twinkish". Straight guys do not pose like Jake did in his early pictures. You won't catch him posing like that now.
Well, it can happen accidentally with a fling. Pregnant doesn't mean it's the romance of the century. I do think he and Michelle were close tho too.

True.
I do think he and Michelle were close tho too.
Probably shortly after they had the baby, but I don't think it lasted for too long the "close phase" that is. But not getting into that now. :)
IK, it's really hard to say. All we know for sure is that beautiful Matilda was made. :)

Didn't Naomi also say that she didn't want to end up like Aniston? Very telling since Aniston was also dumped for a younger woman.
Heath and Naomi got in touch again after he broke it off with Michelle and went to visit Naomi's first son, Sasha.

Gee, you don't think stylists and photographers had anything to do with that, do you?? LOL I don't think Jake walking around outside like that.
Jake never dressed like a "twink" in RL back when he was 20-21, they were photoshoots and thats how his people decided to sell him at the time. A lot of other young actors have photoshoots that are the same.
The only thing he may have wore at the time was a lot of different rings or an occasional scarf, but the rest was stictly professional shots.
His casual pap pics going back to then shows that he really hasn't changed his cloth style much.
I think the posters here from DC think those ancient pics that are posted on the Jake's eyelash thread ad nasuem are pivate pics.
He is way too old to be wearing cut of tops, and ripped jeans like some rent boy appearing on the cover of Men's Journal.
BTW: The loons are pissed because Jake and motorcycle is mentioned in the same sentrnce and Austin is in Indonesia!
Jake still posed though, didn't he? And very well, too.
I have seen RL pictures of Jake at a party in a yellow scarf where another guy is lighting his cigarette and I am sorry, but you will see an entirely different looking Jake in those pictures. I don't know what party it is, but he is apprx. 20 years old there.
I don't think anyone here is saying there is anything at all "wrong" with how Jake looks in these pictures.
I think he's beautiful because that is the real Jake. I also think Jake has been coached on his voice.
So let me understand this, Jake wearing a scarf in the way it was fashionable about 10 years ago makes him a twink? Yeah okay.
And yes Jake posed for those photos. That's what photoshoots are about. It saddens me that you don't have much life experience or know how things work.
No, it saddens me that you can't acknowledge what you know you're seeing.
Whatever! I know what I see.
And there's nothing at all wrong with it.

I find that picture pretty interesting and telling.
Jake's at a party but look at what he's doing. He's ignoring everything going on around him and texting somebody on his phone.

What is it telling you?
Maybe Jake was just waiting for Michelle to end her convo, so they could continue theirs? Or he isn't such a social animal as we thought and is always the poor alone one at parties?

I see people doing this virtually everywhere all the time. At restaurants, parties, etc. Nothing unusual about it at all. Plus, that's one moment captured. Who knows what he was doing the rest of the time.

Why, Just why on earth don't the crazys understand this, I don't know.
Everyone in hollywood does a freaking photoshoot and the photos are all over the map.
Trying to reach so many demographics. That just out of bed grungy look which was kind of androdgenous (hope the spellings right) was in back then. Almost a druggy skateboarder look.
Little fangirls loved this look, apparently fanbois loved it also, they just called it the twink look which is gay lingo.
^^ and the artist/actor don't choose the close or the look. It's planned for a certain type of image to sell. EVERY CELEBRITY in HW does this.

britticisms: Hello: Jake Gyllenhaal stood less than a foot away from me at Chateau Marmont.

I believed he's texting because of the position of both thumbs.
I'm not stupid. I know people do this everywhere. I am out in the world and see this done, even in church! I've done it while walking inside a SuperTarget. Finally had to stop in the Dairy section because I couldn't walk & text at the same time.
My point is he's at a Golden Globe party and he is totally engrossed in his phone.
Just. My. Opinion and Thought. I'm not asking for a notary public to stamp a yea or nay on it. It was a statement. An observance.
Good dog, what a tough crowd it is here. Good thing it's not going to run the likes of me off. Watch out - I just might come back in a day or two with another opinion and thought.
;D

Great! Can't wait for more drivel
My point is he's at a Golden Globe party and he is totally engrossed in his phone.
How that could be a point? Jake or anyone else using a phone at the party is ordinary behavior.
So let me get this straight. Jake's people wanted to sell him as a twink and that's why they had him dress in provocatively homoerotic photos. Riiiiiight.
And, regarding the texting at the GG party, it is interesting that Jake appears to be oblivious to his surroundings. Given Jake's constant assertion that he lives in the moment, it is a candid shot of him being distracted and engrossed in something other than where he is. Don't see anyone else around him doing the same. So it is a curious snapshot in time. Most celebs would put the phone down for the night.
