Can you dig it?

Coming from a Hollywood family Jake seems to have connections with everyone. But one that was revealed during an interview during the 2005 awards was his one to Samuel L. Jackson. Sam was in his parent's collaboration Losing Isaiah with then newcomer Halle Berry.

Jake and Sam teaming up. Talk about a potential for a new buddy movie or for a Dave Chappelle skit (NSFW language). Think of the Remake potential Jake as Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction. Or as John McClane to Jackson's Zeus into finding Jeremy Irons. Step aside Timberlake, Ronnie Morgan is all Jake.

Of course the movie you really want to turn into the feel good buddy comedy of the year "Snakes on a Plane 2: Electric Eel Boogaloo". The plane filled with eels while Sam and Jake joke their way out of there. Hilarity ensues. And how could it not with cameos from Quentin Tarantino and of course Pam Grier reprising her role as flight attendant Jackie Brown. Airplane meets Weekend at Bernies with Eels! Now Dave Chappelle would be up to meet the challenge of playing Sam, and casting favorite John Mayer to play Jake. "Get him blue contacts, they'll never know the difference damn it" yelling at the writer's meeting.

And then of course there is the ultimate in cool films. Shaft. Imagine Jackson taking on Jake as wanna be protege, trying to teach him cool, and the ways of being John Shaft. Jake might be able to sing I am Telling You, but you know he would have to ditch the dress. Shut Your Mouth!

From the previous thread: It was reported that Reese left the set sick on Thursday not Friday according to a poster on IMDB.

Filming resumed on Friday (interiors) but they were not involved in the shoot so they don't know who was there.

Filming did continue M/T/W of these week, probably finishing up.

If she was on set on Friday, then she was well enough to show up for the CAA party,along with Jake, Jennifer, etc. She obviously skipped the event on Saturaday as did a number of others who were supposed to show including R. Zwegglier, who skipped Saturday;s event and went to the Friday event.

Methinks it was more important to some to attend the 1st rather than the 2nd.

I would say it was a fake sighting.

But it doesn't really matter since Reese and Reeke are fake.

A fake sighting posted in the Houston Chronicle as opposed to some obscure blog? What next, fake sightings in the NY Times.

It was a CAA party, I would suspect the both would attend.

It is a definitely one of those must attend work events. Just like we have to do for work.

If they went "together" that is to be seen. Interesting that they are listed in the column with a comma and not an ampersand.

"CAA's Bryan Lourd hosted his annual pre-Oscar party last night, and the superagent had quite the list of bold-faced names in attendance. Madonna, Sean Penn, Renee Zellweger, Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Eva Mendes, Tim Robbins, Ivanka Trump, Jared Leto, Giovanni Ribisi, Jason Bateman, and Ron Howard are all pictured above in the star-studded gallery. Seeing this many celebrities in one place gets us even more excited for the much anticipated Oscars to commence!"

The Houston chronicle list and the page 6 list are different. The Houston list has Jake, Reese, George, Jennifer, page six doesn't. Most likely a ton showed up and the person reporting are just naming who they saw while they were there.

Agreed that it was an industry party and a "mut" attend event.

That would be Terry Wayne Jones and Tina Pyne, who were in Beverly Hills Friday night for a pre-Oscars party at the home of her chum Bryan Lourd, a honcho with Creative Artists Agency.

The Houston duo rubbed elbows with George Clooney, Ellen Barkin, Jake Gyllenhaal, Reese Witherspoon, Kate Hudson, Jennifer Aniston, Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Owen Wilson and on and on until we were absolutely green with envy!

I was just rewatching Jurassic Park with my kids and apparently when it came out Samuel L. Jackson was not on my radar because I didn't realize he is in that film. He is great too, in a small part as an IT manager.

Apropos of nothing, don't you think Bush is the president who as sparked the most negative bumper stickers in his name?

Just this morning I saw one "Fermez le Bush" and there is the classic "Give Bush an inch and he thinks he's a ruler". Shouldn't gloat but has it ever been a better election year to be a Democrat?

Samuel L. Jackson is such a badass. It would be fun to see him paired up with Jake. Because of their age difference it would probably have to be one of those experienced/newbie sort of dynamics.

Page 6 reads more like a pr release, as opposed to the other which sounds like someone's personal observations. Besides, with industry oscar parties I am sure there are tons of celebs and every story can't mention everyone. And wasn't CAA the agency Reese kind of cut her ties to and then had trouble getting roles, and then recently went back to? If so, you can bet she had to be there.

"Prior to the end of the writers’ strike, most of the regular pre-Oscar parties were cancelled. But never fear! Madonna, her manager Guy Oseary, and Demi Moore came up with a last-minute solution, and stars like Owen Wilson, Eva Mendes, and Christian Slater showed up in droves.

Fresh out of the Cirque Lodge Rehab Center in Orem, Utah, Eva Mendes showed her face at the CAA shindig, wearing a black and white belted dress complete with black knee-high leather boots and a black jacket.

A recently reclusive Owen Wilson also made an appearance at Madonna’s party. The “Wedding Crashers” stud wasn’t too keen on having his picture taken, though. He covered his face to avoid the paparazzi getting a clear shot of him.

And Christian Slater had his party gear on, sporting a slick dark suit overtop a brilliant blue collared shirt. He brought his Sharpie along for any autograph seekers.

Also making appearances were Casey Affleck, John Mayer, Jared Leto, Sean Penn, Rebecca Gayheart and Eric Dane, among others.

A few topics back we were talking about the desire for fame. Here are some scary quotes from Linday Lohan's little sister Ali (Source pinkisthenewblog):

ON MAKING IT IN HOLLYWOOD: "I want it so bad. So bad you don't even know. And now, it's actually happening."

ALI, ON HER NEW REALITY TV SHOW: "It's not all that fake stuff. It's just what we do in our everyday life."

ALI, ON BIG SISTER LINDSAY: "I grew up watching Lindsay, and it made me want to do what she does. Just the whole vibe. Being there, being on camera, or onstage, with everybody listening to you ... it's so cool when people look up to you. I've already been asked for my autograph, and it's just a really good feeling to have."

So if I read the sightings correctly, Reese blew off a Charity event as that was not a "must" do?

My thoughts exactly.

Cute post today too, Spesh. :)

Anonymous said...

I do believe the sighting. It is very possible Jake and Reese, both being part of CAA, would have to attend the bosses party. The other sightings mentioned the people who were photographed. That seemed like a very small number of the CAA mega star roster. The pics were of those folks who has left. I am sure there were a lot more celebs at the party. Not that it is the best thing to do but many of the names on the Charity event invite didn't show up. Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet, Brad Pitt, etc. Reese was not the only one who didn't go to that.

Wicked, I want to see Jake play a bad M-Fer too!

Posted on WFT

February 28, 2008 -- MARIO Lavandeira - better known as online gossip "Perez Hilton" - encouraged a handsome young blogger to send sex tapes of himself while he was making promises of promotion for the blogger's own fledgling Web site.

Jonathan Jaxson - a former publicist and founder of gossip site JJ's Dirt - told Page Six he sent Lavandeira sexually explicit videos of himself with the hope of Lavandeira's help, which never materialized.

No, Perez did NOT tell JJ that Jake baby story. Perez thinks Jake is straight and when JJ asked him about the baby story, Perez said that wasn't true.

It was someone who knows and has worked with Jake, (according to JJ), who told him about the baby, the sex with Austin in the SUV behind that restaurant (and getting arrested for it) and the relationshipw with Austin.

Interesting that someone would name call the person who made the sex tape and not the person who tricked him into doing it.

And, sorry, name calling posts will be deleted. So don't bother.

I wouldn't be surprised if the two doctors they're talking to about Heath did not know about each other, and had no idea that Heath had prescriptions from the other.

I could get prescriptions for Vicodin and Oxycontin by simply going to different doctors and not telling them that I was already on pain meds. They take your word for it.

Anonymous said...

What's up, doc? - I wanted to say the same thing, my m-i-l abused prescription drugs for years (Adavan) and when we finally took over management of her meds, we had to tell all of her doctors and go around to all of the local pharmacies and tell them not to fill any prescriptions she brought in for this very reason.

Anonymous said...

I think Heath is owed a thorough investigation, and its probably routine by the DEA anyway. Never hurts to be sure that there's no irresponsibility in prescribing, or wrongdoing. The drs. are held to the higher standard, not the patients.

Anonymous said...

Gossip girl: But that was all TT/BI's, all of it : the baby, the getting arrested (he added the resturaunt, Ted never mentioned a resturaunt)there was nothing new in his post that wasn't read/heard of before, the only "new" info was the name of the Resturaunt which most likely was made up and the fact that he added Chris which was easy to do because there is another chatter regarding him anyway, so how can you say that it was someone that worked with Jake? I could have sent him that info.

What I never understood if JJwas a gossip blogger, how come he never heard? I can see him not paying attention to the BI's mentioned but the rumors regarding Jake have been swirling around the internet for a while, but he seemed shocked, he even was pimping Jake and Reese a few weeks earlier.

It was all very odd and I always thought that he was being set-up to "discredit" Ted/TT, especially the baby crap which was laughed at even on the net.

Hios buddies at NE screwed him over as well, now we here that Perez begged him for a sex tape and the fool sent it to him. Wasn't that the same tape that ended up on youtube. Now why would Perez do something like that?

M, have you never returned to work from the flu/virus before you've completely recovered?

Have you never had two things you might have had to go to whilst sick? One that you can get out of if you really have to and one that it would look pretty bad if you did?

What do you do? You drug up, rug up and get yourself there.

Another blog already said Jake was hanging out with Jennifer. Could be because Reese appeared for as long as she had to and then went home to her sick bed.

I really think we need to ease up on Reese here. I've made it a point to do it myself (I used to be one of the worst offenders). Have a go at her for something mean or nasty she does or says or the bearding thing. Otherwise we are just as bad as those who have it in for Austin just because of his connection to Jake.

Also, the CAA sighting sounds credible. It says the couple that went are friends with Bryan Lourd. The paper would look really bad if they posted about a couple falsely claiming to be friends with one of the heads of CAA.

I have no doubt that the two people the paper says were at the party, Terry Wayne Jones and Tina Pyne, were at Bryan Lourd's party. What I doubt is that Jake and Reese were there. The HC copy does not say that Jones and Pyne saw the people they list, only that they allegedly "rubbed elbows" with them. Maybe Jake and Reese were supposed to be there and didn't show? Why are they not on any other list of attendees?

Yeah Jake has lied and Jake has bearded but you always get the sense he us doing it because he has to and not because he wants to. I have never seen a pic of Jake and reese yhat showed me that they were really into each other.

Yep Jake has said in so many words that he is str8. But really funny words. How about a yes or a no. How about saying the word straight or gay. I've never heard him say those words. Persuaded is a funny word for yes or no. At this point in my career I am available for the ladies is a funny word for straight or gay.

I see no significance to Jake and Reese being at the same party, if they were there. Does not mean they were together, just both attending a work function.

I missed it all since I was away from a computer most of the day, but DC had another melt down. Apparently some babblers were pushing the reese agenda down everyones throat, but ultimately deleted their comments so I don't know what was said. They are wearing out their welcome.

If Reeke were at the same party, as a couple, details will eventually leak out. Afterall, if they cant be "real" in front of their peers, who can they be real for. I suspect Reese will never acknowledge a relationship. That way when Jake does come out, she can say we were just friends. People jumped to conclusions.

Anonymous said...

M, I hope I didn't come across as preachy mcpreach before.

In regards to what Reeke are planning on coming across as, I do think there's a reason they don't just make themselves official. I think it's too much of a lie.

However, I do believe they are trying to pass off as a couple and not just friends.
If you look through Jake's history he has not hung out solely with one female for an extended period of time. Throw in hand holding, maybe kissing, the international tour of love, Jake spending far more time in LA than he usually does, regular trips away, outings with her kids and 'people with chemistry' not being allowed to be photographed with Jake, they are trying to sell a romance on paper.

That two actors between them can't sell it isn't really PR's fault. They need to re cast.

IF (and I hope there's an IF) it is decided to drop this whole thing, it will be that they went out and it didn't work out and Reese will forever more be mentioned as one of Jake's exes.
