Boys in Blue

True Blue: supporting something or someone completely.

Small words that sum up so much about Jake and Austin.

As Shakespeare said, "the course of true love never did run smooth" and it always hasn't for Jake and Austin. But after all the years since they met on The Day After Tomorrow, and through all the up and downs, true blue is still the best way to describe them. You don't need rose colored glasses to see that.

NG, I really would love to hear more about Gro and Katya and how folks in Norway are reacting to them being a couple. Do people think they are as cute as we think they are?

I think Jake and Austin are still together. Looking at this old BI from October 2006 Ted said he was a fool for love back then!

"Back in the (Public?) Saddle
I swear, us 'mos can be worse than you hets. I base this hugely unsearched stance on the breaking news that Toothy T., quelle surprise, has re-re-reunited himself with his good-looking b-f. I suppose I should be happy, as so few gay couples make it these days, and if you think I'm going to wink to Lance Opportunist and Reichen Bigger Opportunist here, think again.

No word yet as to whether or not T2 is curbing his sexual appetite for doing it every which way publicly. I've just been told by mutual amigos that Tooth's partner--after much begging by the in-the-closet movie star--has taken his reticent love back. Again.

Good to know it's not just the gals who are fools for the guys."

^^So sweet, I love this BI too. :)

NG, Gro and Katya are a lovely couple, and it's so nice to see that they are comfortable and open being who they are. Thanks for the video.

Happy Birthday, Rattler! :*

Love this song, guys!

Which brings to mind a suggestion that was put forth in the past at WFT but that never materializes: the regrouping of all TT BIs in one section of the blog.

The more I think about this the more I believe that Toothy Tile BIs Archive should be a new blog.

Anonymous said...

I never really liked that BI. It presented a picture of the bf as someone willing to put up with almost anything - as apparantly Austin is, if he's still with Jake through all the Jeeseness.
Also Jake comes off as as manipulative - "come back to me, and it'll be different blah blah".

It's the opposite of cute to me.

^If it's accurate, I should add. Wonder who the "mutual amigos" are/were?

Wicked said...

Hey Rattler, happy birthday!

The more I think about this the more I believe that Toothy Tile BIs Archive should be a new blog.

We could do that, Who'sthat. Creating a blog for the TT BIs is not a big deal and we could link to it in the sidebar. I would like someone (or someones) to volunteer to gather all the TT info, though.

Anonymous said...

Happy birthday to you Rattler!

Anonymous said...

Cannot promise I'll gather all TT info, but I volonteer for the job.

Stubborn TB said...

I copied and pasted the ONTD post and added all the Toothy mentions that were posted on FCC.

I doubt it's all, especially after Reeke started, since a lot of mailbags weren't posted on FCC anymore.
But maybe Special and Wicked can put it up on the sidebar and, like the Famous Gay people list, we can add the missing things and update it with new mentions?

Anonymous said...

Well, this BI just shows to me that, realisically, the course of true love never does run smooth, as today's post says. No relationship is perfect, but if they both love each other, what the rest of the world thinks of it be damned. They are the ones who have to be happy, not everyone else. They are entitled to make a mistake and be forgiven, and only they know how much they are willing to "put up" with. All speculation of course. Also, I like that Ted seems to feel that J&A are a HW couple who is able to make it and stay together, when he observes that so few do. I hope that's true. Who knows the extent of the Jeeseness? We'll soon find out I'm sure. :)

Wicked said...

Stubborn, Who'sthat, and anyone else who might want to help- can you guys e-mail us with the TT BIs that you have? Not sure how quickly we'll get them up, with the holidays and all, but we will try to do it ASAP. Thanks for collecting all of that Stubborn. You are amazing! Thanks to Who'sthat for volunteering. This is why I said before that blogging is a symbiotic relationship. We can't do it alone. If we tried, we wouldn't do a very good job, anyway.

Stubborn TB said...

Wicked, I just sent the list to Special.

Anonymous said...

Wicked,

I'll play a bit with Google Docs - I expect it could be used to publish documents so everyone interested could check what's already gathered.

Special K said...

Thanks Stubborn and Who's That, totally appreciated and gold stars all around.

Anything anyone has for TT/BI items send them along. Like Wicked said we will do our best about getting things organized and posted, with the Holidays and all, but this chica has some time off starting this weekend so who knows what might happen with that much time on my hands.

Thanks again to everyone who comes to OMG, to read, to share, and to comment. This is what we wanted to have when we built our little corner of the world call OMG.

Anonymous said...

Totally useless now. :(
Will try and cram in some research time tonight... but Stubby & Who'sthat are so good the job might be finished by then. :) :)

Special K said...

Any and all is appreciated!

And Frenchy -- you are good Toothy info person too -- you contributed a bunch when OMG was starting up and trying to figure out what the heck it was doing. Definite gold star!

How's all that snow?

Boston has already had more snow in the past week, than we did all of last winter. This is going to be a long and snowy winter here. Wicked will be soooo jealous!

Anonymous said...

If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know guys. I'm going down the home stretch with holiday and work stuff.

Also, I should add to my post above, relationships are hard enough for most of us, nevermind the pressures that a same sex, Hollywood couple must be under. I wish them the very, very best.

Wicked said...

I am deeply angry about my lack of snow. We got NOTHING this weekend. And all that freaking out!

If folks have found mentions of the TT BI in other places, other blogs, Defamer, etc. that would be helpful too. Send all those mentions on.

Anonymous said...

Frenchy is probably winning with the snow right now...but where I am, I'm not that far behind. Definately more to come!!! Great snow for taboozing :)

Oh yeah, but we Canucks are a tough bunch. :)

Canadian-tb, if I remember correctly you're not living in Toronto right? I hope not. Apparently it's hell for them right now as they lack the proper snow removal equipment. :(

Wicked stop complaining and remember you'll be able to brag about your gorgeous cherry trees only three months from now. :D :D

I would say they are lucky that they can go to games early in the baseball season without a winter coat and gloves (and I'm not baseball gloves).

Wicked said...

Has anyone seen The Dark Knight trailer linked on WDW? I have to say I wasn't really feeling Heath as the Joker when it was first announced, but seeing him in the role has made me revise my opinion. And it looks like Maggie's role is quite a bit tougher than Katie Holmes played it.

Special K said...

Look's like Heath's Joker might steal the spotlight in Dark Knight and even steal the Joker away from Jack (Nicholson).

Wow, just in the snippets we get to see. What is impressive is how he has change the tone and timber of his voice to become someone so extremely different than any other character he has played.

Anonymous said...

Wicked, I've seen it and I've watched the first six minutes linked by Maria in the previous thread. And I think Heath will be FABULOUS in that role. And I'm absurdly satisfied with myself as I was sure he would be great from the minute his casting was announced!

Maggie not only looks tougher, she looks luminous. I think she will be much MUCH better than the robowife, no matter how her character's been written.

Anonymous said...

^^Yes, I've seen a couple of the trailers, and I'm very impressed. I saw last night's robbery clip, thanks Maria! I agree, I think what Heath's done with the voice and the laugh, and just the delicious twistedness of Joker are incredible. (What doesn't kill you, makes you - stranger!) I'm interested in Maggie's role too - looks good. I like that they chose her.

Anonymous said...

I wouldn't be surprise if we ended up learning about the pain experienced by the Joker in his early life. I'm sure Heath could play on all those registers quite nicely.

Oh shit, I have to go now.

See you tonight.

Anonymous said...

^^Awwww that would get to me. C'mere, poor tortured baby! ;)That's what I loved about Penguin and Catwoman from the Ted Burton days. Oh well, I should get going too! See y'all later! ;)

Florida Tom said...

Happy Birthday Rattler. Have a great day.

Anonymous said...

I was never impressed with Jack Nicholson's Joker, nor Tommy Lee Jones' Two-Face. They were just "there", superficial cartoon characters. It's more interesting I think to have a dimensional villain, so even tho this is a fantasy-type movie, you wonder what made them the way they are. I think it must be Tim Burton's handling of the characters that I loved - you had a bit of sympathy for their tortured souls. It would be interesting if this is how Heath's Joker is too. Speaking of Tim Burton, I can't wait to see Sweeney Todd either. Ok, I'm outta here for real this time! :*

Well looks like Jeese won something for all their effort. (Sadly not for their work in Rendition.

Jake and Reese have won People Magazine's 2007 Reader's Poll for Most Intriguing Couple

People's Reader Poll - Most Intriguing Couple"


Intriguing:
1)challenging: disturbingly provocative

2)capable of arousing interest or curiosity

Hmmm... which is it?

Anonymous said...

Oh but Austin and Jake are so much more intriguing

Anonymous said...

Definitely 2 - I think people are "intrigued" to know - is it live or is it Memorex! ;0

Also, whom did they have for competiton? Lance A. and Ashley Olsen - seeming attention seeker and little self-absorbed brat who's on PETA's sh*t list for insensitively insisting upon wearing fur! ;)

Anonymous said...

To the mainstream why are Jake and Reese intriguing? Aren't they just another HW golden couple?

Anonymous said...

Curious Maybe it means the mainstream are saying WTF too.

Anonymous said...

Happy Birthday Rattler.

Does People always do a Most Intriguing Couple? Probably wouldn't have won a "best" couple category, they certainly didn't in US.

Eons ago I saved a link that has some of the early TT stuff. I can never remember how to link, so here's the address

I thought the mainstream image of them was girl-next-door meets boy-next-door. Boring but normal. Intriguing seems a strange word to apply to them if you're not a tb.

Stubborn TB said...

Curious, remember that old InTouch article called "Are Jake and Reese faking it?".
56% of the voters (which is the mainstream) said that they think they're faking it.

So we're clearly not the only ones who think that somethings not quite right with this coupling.

Blue Velvet said...

Gathering all the TT BIs in one place is a great idea. Thanks to everyone working on it. I don't have any time to spend on it now, but I'm willing to help fill in any gaps after the main info is posted.

As for the most intriguing couple status, here's my take:

1) They're intriguing because no one knows for sure if they're real or not.
2) Jake has a very organized fanbase who vote for him in every poll.
3)When you pulled up the poll, they were the couple the poll automatically pointed to - you had to change the vote for anyone else.
4) The other couples were of no interest at all to anyone or just plain old creepy (Clooney and his unknown gf, McConaughey and his unknown gf, Lance and Ashley).

Well, I must be the only one not feeling the ... Heath of the Joker! But I do like Heath, in general.

Who'sthat, that title on JJ almost made me choke. WTF? They need to put a worning that it is not for real.

The only things that intrigues me as in makes me very curious is to figure out how an average looking gal like Reese manages to snatch 2 super hots like Ryan and Jake in a row. Well, if you believe she snatched Jake.

Wicked said...

I think Jeese winning the Most Intriguing Hookup award is attributable to both Jake's very organized fanbase that votes for him in every poll and the incredible WTF factor of this couple. Those two things would make them hard to beat. Mind you, it wasn't Best Couple or Cutest Couple, but Most Intriguing Hookup. So the Damn, That's Weird aspect had a lot to do with it, I suspect.

Anonymous said...

most intriguing hookup? more like most unbelievable (and not in the fantastic way) hookup.

OT... but i read this little naughty bits on a free London paper's gossip column today: On George Clooney's chance of becoming US President one day, Rupert Everett said, "If he is straight then he would have no problem landing the job. But god forbid, he has to be straight"...

Rupert... you naughty man. LOL.

Spesh, if you want to find out, you might have to check your email.

frenchy said...

Spesh & Wicked I did some search but I truly wonder if what I've found will be useful to you (i.e. links to EO forums, some Defamer articles readily available, etc.) I'll send the links to you anyway so you can assess the usefulness of that stuff.

I hope you don't feel that we're pressuring you to post this TT saga summary ASAP. I'm sure all OMG posters are aware that this is a lot of work and that you'll have to review, filter and order a lot of info.

Ok, so now Rattler is drunk as a skunk, most probably in the midst of a multitude of 3-foot-high snow banks somewhere in Ontario... Please Rattler come back tomorrow and post so we know that you did not die of hypothermia... but mostly to prove that I did not lie when I said Canucks were a tough bunch!

Oh that "Most Intriguing Hookup" begs for comments... which I've no time to make at this moment. I hope it'll be alright if I post them in the next thread! :)

Oh Frenchy we are a very tough bunch ;)

And I do not live in T.O. I live about 45 mintues south west of Toronto...but I love shovelling the snow (I know I'm crazy, but meh what can ya do?)

'Most Intriguing Hookup' my ass, more like "Easiest Thing to Make You Throw Up"...

No more posting for me for quiet a while, so everyone have good holidays and I might check in shortly after the New Year begins :D See ya
