One drop at a time.




Brown eyes met blue, and in that one moment all things changed. Not just for Jake and Austin. But for others. Not just at that moment but even years to come.

How were they to know that meeting would create a ripple across life's surface that would be felt around the world. That it would change not just their own lives but others. That it would bring people together in so many different ways. They didn't. Life is about moments that define us, yet we are sometimes blissfully unaware how they reverberate into other's lives.

While they found love so many others found joy.

The joy of making new friends, and meeting new people that they would have never met. The joy of people coming together, making connections and changing the course of their own lives.

Yes, we are here to celebrate not just what Jake and Austin are and have together, but to also celebrate the effect that one moment in time has made on our lives as well.

Very beautiful words! I have known Luca who is a precious person even if we frequent ourselves very little. I would like to ask: where can I show my video? sorry. In every way all my video, included ones of Jaustin, find them here

Thank you for letting us share them here on OMG.

Special K, you are such a romantic LOL! I'm not, but I do enjoy reading your posts. Always gives me cheer in this cynical old world.

Can I wonder why Perez is on the list of websites here?
Not because he is all for the Jeese but because I think he is infantile and dumb. As for the worship of Paris Hilton....

A lot of posters on his site tend to be immature and homophobic as well. In fact I stopped reading it last year for that very reason. And Perez' writing style is not interesting enough for me to overlook his readers' comments.

Thanks Convinced TB for your input on the Perez link.

As as always the feedback from everyone is important.

If the feeling is that Perez is not the best choice to have as a link. We can remove it.

Convinced you make a good point about Perez's past immature and homophobic behaviors.

It is hearing the feedback from everyone here that will help shape OMG.

I posted this on WFT on the current thread there talking about accepting Toothy with another guy etc.
I originally said I wasn't sure I'd want to follow Toothy with another guy at least not at first, and was putting into thoughts why. As it stood, it kind of fit in with this thread to so that's why I thought I'd bring it over.

Sorry it's a little long:

The character of Toothy can't hold my interest on his own because to me the whole point of Toothy tile is about two guys who are so crazy about each other that it overrides everything else.

That's why I can't understand anyone on this board believing that BF Tile is interchangeable. Because that's the whole point of TT to me. BF Tile is the one person whom Toothy keeps returning to, whom Toothy begs to come back to him, whom Toothy can't get over. And presumably, vice versa.

Now that doesn't mean they can't break up and never get back together. It also doesn't mean they can't fall in love with other people. And yes, I include women in that.
But whether you believe that BF tile is Austin, Chris or someone we haven't even thought of yet, the very idea of being able to turf a name in and turf a name out makes me gnash my teeth because to me, BF tile is the very essence of the Toothy tile story.
Without him, Toothy is just one of many actors in HW who is gay/bi

When Toothy flirts with the actresses or pretends to be in a relationship with one or cosies up to his co-stars for work, that's the actor whom we all believe to be Jake. That's not Toothy because the actor is at the least leading a double life.
The only time Toothy comes out to play in public is when you see him with BF Tile, whomever you may believe that to be.

So if I ever have to separate them, then reluctantly I will but unless that day comes, I'm enjoying them for the joyous prospect they are together.

As for Perez, I say leave him as a link. I don't link to every single one of the links here and I don't link to all of them on WFT.

Perez is an immature git but I don't always agree with everything Just Jared, TMZ, The Awful truth or dlisted say either and I very rarely agree with anything on IHJ.
But sometimes it's nice to look at something purely for escapism value. It doesn't mean you are contributing to his success. Perez is going to get his hits no matter what.
Special, you or wicked linked him there. If he no longer fills the reason you linked him in the first place, then that is the only reason you should remove him.

Ted today:

“Girls Just Wanna Have Headlines!
…Tori Spelling and Reese Witherspoon are making folks fret ferociously. It's a fiery femme free-for-all!

“No Room at the Inn
Oh, gosh, I wonder if Jake Gyllenhaal can get to Broadway—where he’s expected to do a terribly earnest turn, I’m sure, for Mike Nichols on the boards—to help out Tori Spelling? Last I heard, the game gal I adore so (who else would have the balls to say she’s cash poor besides that megarich bitch?) was wandering the streets for her reality show, Inn Love, as Harvey Fierstein left her hanging (or vice versa, you decide). See, the Tony nabber was supposed to give Ms. Es some tips on auditioning for Broadway, and Spelling’s "people" called Fierstein right before they had an appointment and said:"Can we do it a few hours later? [Tori’s] busy."You can guess what Harvey’s unprintable (even in this trashy missive) reaction was. Jake? Are you in N.Y.? You’re not jaded yet, right? Can you please go help out Tor-poo? Do it for the gays! They love ya both!”

"ENDBLAB""I kind of think they will get back together."—Close bud to reportedly revisiting reconciliation duo Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe. If ya do, Reese, get Ryan to take the damn trash out, already, if ya know what I mean

"Jake? Are you in N.Y.?"

Does Ted have reason to think he is? While Reese is on MV.

I like your post aussiegirl. TT and BFT are the first--and probably will be the only--HW couple I've been so interested in or cared about. I don't think you can separate the two in terms of the TT story, and the story just wouldn't be the same for me without BFT in it.

I like your post too Special, although it makes me feel a bit sad too in light of the whole Jeese thing.

I'm neutral on Perez. While I have issues with him, chiefly in the hyprocisy deparment, I still do visit the site on rare occassion, and I have no problem with it being linked here.

I'm glad I've found OMG again, I had to go through the cache.

Adieu, Wicked! I do hope we see you again. Ave, Special! This post makes me sigh :)

I love Ted. He says so much in the little bits he says.

"Jake? Are you in N.Y.?"

Ted is telling us two things.

1) Jake is/was in New York.

2) That he was off The Vineyard, while Reese was there.

If people want to think he is there when she was there, he is not going to make it an issue. Playing all the angles.

Again Jake is not up to the full on beard but flirting with the 5 o'clock shadow.

He seems to only the minimum to keep everyone happy.

I think he has realized that he might have to play this game a bit longer. Playing the "is he or isn't he" for the general public. I don't think he is thrilled about it. I think this is why there is minimal effort.

The car photos. Well consequences for choices I say. You get caught doing something you with your BF, you have to get your picture with the pretend GF.

Hi Special! I love this site and I think you and wicked are doing a great job.

I just wanted to say I agree with Convinced tb. I don’t like to see the link to Perez Hilton here.

There is a pic of Jake in MV on the us weekly magazine site. I think it is very suspicious that in the same week there is photographic evidence of Reese and Jake in MV. I think PR is making sure we know they are there together. Very convenient.

There is a picture of Jake on MV posted on Us weekly online. They usually post pictures online the day after they get them like People so I assume that it was taken either Sunday or Saturday. Ted usually does his column a few days ahead of time so I doubt that he is in NY now, if he was then we still have no way of knowing when since there is no pap pics or we don't know where Reese is at the moment. The Boston herald story was last Thursday and the article said that they were both there at the same time. I will take that paper (even though it's a gossip column) then Ted or Perez, they are both "reporting" thingas after the fact. Neither knows anything.

Thanks for stopping by. And you know a name is so much more fun than number. We would love for you to give yourself a name, be it for one post, one hour, one day.

Special K said...

I suspect the picture of Jake picture was taken yesterday. Saturday at the earliest. But I am going for yesterday. Why? His hair has grown in a bit since the run the previous weekend.

Now the question is, did Jake spend the week down in NYC and come back for the weekend. I can see that.

Anonymous said...

Special, I don't like that Ted seems to be making fun of Jake with the comment about him in the play. Ted has been very harsh on Jake imo.

Anyway, I think Jake looks very sexy in the new pic on US Weekly. Love the hair and scuff on the face! Yum. ;)

I think 2:57 is the troll on a chill pill. The ridiculous over-attention to detail of times and dates is something we've seen a lot of before.

Seems this "lady" just can't stay away while at same time berating blogs and LJ's like this everywhere else.

Just blatant two-facedness. You ought to be banned at the door. Think yourself lucky this is such a free community!
