Hot Stuff

Could it be really be true? There have been rumors and rumblings, casual mentions in interviews, and then those two infamous minutes on Ellen. Is it true that Jake is a.... a .... a Gastrosexual?


'Gastrosexuals' is the new buzz for a new generation of men consider cooking more a hobby than a household chore and use their kitchen prowess to impress friends and prospective partners. They can be male or female but the common denominator is their love of food. And that cooking for this new generation isn't simply a matter of refuelling. For them it's an enjoyable experience and something to be relished - they cook for pleasure, praise and potential seduction.

The average Gastrosexual male is aged between 25-44 and is upwardly mobile, well travelled and cooks for their own pleasure and the praise of others.

Jake loves food, he appreciates a good meal, and one that is shared with good friends. He has patroned some of the greatest restaurants in the world. His friends - chefs, both of the celeb and non celeb variety. It's known that he has gone and prepped in Mario's restaurants kitchens, improving those knife skills? or just a way to unwind anonymously in the back of house? Maggie proudly talks about his culinary prowess, and his fanboy for chef Jamie Oliver. His cooking adventures with Austin in the kitchen during filming TDAT. And his enthusiasm over Iron Chef when sitting down with Jay Leno. The rumors of restaurants ventures. And any man that can tackle Starbursts fruit candies for his secret ingredient while trying to cook with Ellen in two minutes, earns that glass of wine.

Between 25-44
Upwardly mobile
Well travelled
Love Food
Loves to Cooks for family and friends
Dined at some of the best restaurants in the world
Hangs with chefs
Slips into restaurant kitchens to work for fun

Sounds like there's no doubt ...

For pleasure - check.
For praise - check.
For seduction -- what do you think? well who do you think?

And who is Jake's favorite sous chef?

Fantastic, fantastic post today, and song - nice to have a topic devoted to gastrosexuals, and possibly coming out of the pantry. ;)

destiny said...

Very funny post Special, and love your line netb about coming out of the pantry.

I suspect Austin doesn't make the best sous chef, didn't one of his Glory Road co-stars make references to Austin's inability to do anything in the kitchen?

I think that was in McDonald's doing the fryolater and milkshakes.

But I'm sure he's a pro at heating things up. ; )

Of course, it also would depend on exactly WHAT Austin is doing in the kitchen.

Or should I say WHOM?

Yesterday's photo of Austin was
definitely one of the best. I did
finally read ALL the BIs and all
the articles. All I can say is
Jake should be shot if he lets his
favorite Texan go! What a love that must be! I'll bet Austin does know how to cook some!

Interesting comments about Perez on DL:

"Speaking of Perez covering for Jake -- he didn't always. He used to run lots of stuff about Jake being gay / dating Austin, but he removed the posts. He wasn't careful enough to No Robot.txt them from the Wayback Machine though. Viola:

Wayback Machine

Fiddle around with the links in that link and you can bring some of the old Perez posts back."

"And FYI when Perez removes posts, it's because he got a phone call"

The sneaking in and out of the kitchen entrances, publicly hanging out with chefs, buying groceries, FARMER'S MARKETS! FRESH HERBS! FREE RANGE POULTRY!

The signs were always there.

Don't kid yourself he knows the difference between a bernaise and a hollandaise.

Have you ever seen him eat fast food?

Sorry, that should be posted on WFT2.

The MPAA rating (US Movie Rating System) for The Informers is an R rating. For strong sexual content, nudity, drug use, pervasive language and some disturbing images. Release Date: TBA 2008.

Did you think a Brent Easton Ellis movie could ever be PG13? Ha!

Who thinks Jake was really in LA in the last few days?

Reese was "caught" shopping alone again by X17. Go look. What else does she do? Oh right jog. Drink coffee. If Jake was in town she would've dragged him along.

Anonymous said...

i wish i could cure you!

destiny said...

Hmmm, strong sexual content and nudity. I wonder if Austin will lose more than his shirt in this one.

Jake in L.A. makes no sense, and those People sightings always strike me as pure pr--how the heck would some casual observer know Reese was at a business meeting? Sounds like something done to make it look like Reese is getting interest, and they threw in Jake to spice it up, or because Reese on her own wouldn't run. But time will tell.

Clarity said...

Those were really interesting articles Special. I had no idea how much PR was a part of things in Hollywood.

"Who thinks Jake was really in LA in the last few days?"

Maybe its just me but I don't see what the big deal is about this. What difference does it make?

I tend to agree with Destiny. Sounds to me like Reeke PR working overtime. The public really doesnt need to know this information.

Anonymous said...

is it wrong of me, but I really like the idea that Austin is totally useless in the kitchen.

Anonymous said...

Me too, and that Jake is the expert in food seduction. ;)

london tb said...

Jake in LA - I'm inclined to think there would have been pics by now, though I don't know why I'd think that :)

Austin - famously - "can't make a shake", in the words of a Glory Road co-star.

Random notes, very clever :D

Anonymous said...

I found this article about PR people very interesting. I didn't know how much power they had. At that rate I'm starting to believe that nothing in Hollywood can be taken 100% seriously.

Anonymous said...

Thinking about the LA sighting, it is worthwhile noting that it takes around 20 hours (with several changes) to fly from Morocco to LA, and 20 hours back. I know its different in first class, but it's hardly a quick flight we're talking about. Then again, I'm sure if it allows you to hang around in a coffee shop until Reesy finds time for you it must be worth it (mustn't it).

I had to come back to LA so Atticus could get fitted for his pillow. I wasnt making any decisions cuz Reesey Baby does all that but she wanted me to see waht fabric she decided on.

That is so Jake's legs wrapped around Austin in that picture yesterday. No doubt.

I think someone made that "sighting" up. Pretty pathetic if you ask me.

Anonymous said...

The second to last time there was a preemptive PR attack re. Jake (huh? He takes a plane to London? He's in London? Boy, he's in London. Okaaaay...) there was an unsubstantiated sighting placing him making out with a guy in LA.

Then there were a flurry of Jake/Reese in Paris PR articles, and lo and behold, Jake is seen in a London gay bar far from Paris.

Now there's Jake waiting for Reese in LA - PR overkill again, and so I'm guessing Jake is somewhere in Rome, Italy, and has been seen there as well.

Anonymous said...

The PR article was a bit inflated but don't take anything you see or read seriously. Nothing shows up in those magazines by accident especially if the story has a positive spin.

People is notorious for being off with dates or not printing dates at all. The sighting could be legit but be weeks old. It does seem fishy that he would come back and not at least do a coffee/Yoga pap walk.

frenchy said...

Very interesting post. And don't forget Jake's regular vacationing on Edible Island. ;)

Oh my, don't know about you but all these words starting with gastro always bring to mind gastro-enteritis rather than gastronomy!

Thanks for linking the articles above Special, I'm gonna take a look at them right now. :)

From Ted

Toothy Tile’s handlers ain’t too happy with me either, not to mention camp Tom Cruise, girlfriends. Sure, there are more than a few behind-the-scenes T-town wizards who would be more than happy to see my glass house shatter and crumble deep into a ravine...me, head first, along with it.

Oh, before we get to such scintillating bits ‘n’ boobiness—means Tori Spelling’s on the way, trust—must tell you all that I dare say Toothy Tile must be paying a very well known, blockbuster-starring actor to homo-outdo his gay ways. Hate to be a tease ‘n’ all (that’s a damn lie), but you’ll just have to wait until Friday’s Blind Vice to find out the deets, hon-childs. I mean, maybe that nasty fag bitch Christopher Ciccone really has let loose something in the celeb air right now, what with his sibling-stabbing memoirs and the hilarious Cristina Crawford-esque interviews he’s pulling ‘round town. ‘Cause Toothy’s new matinee rival is pulling really over-the-top, stereotypical Rock Hudson retro sex shenanigans. Delish, can’t wait to tell you all!

I'm confused. Can someone please explain what he's saying? I usually get most Ted Speak, but my brain is just fried today.

Anonymous said...

There is a very well known, blockbuster-starring actor who's gayer than Toothy.

I think. LOL

Anonymous said...

Shia LaBoeuf's name was mentioned in Ted's featured celebrities but not in the main column.

Anonymous said...

Is he talking about a rival, or TT himself? The retro Rock Hudson shenanigans sounds all too familiar. Is there a tell-tale book or story around? We need a Ted translation.

I always think of lady's man or married man publicly, gay as a goose privately when I hear anything that says stereotypical HW retro sex shenanigans.

Ted's been talking about Christian a lot lately. Could he be any more hot? I'm taking the 3:10 to Yuma if so. ;)

He's got Chace Crawford in his "Do Me" section - I don't know if he's considered a TT matinee rival?

frenchy said...

Shia La-Douche pulling really over-the-top, stereotypical Rock Hudson retro sex shenanigans? Wow, last time I heard he had trouble getting a single girl! :D

Fraser - freshly split from wife, gay rumors.

The mention of Rock Hudson made me think about Broderick and his cheating on SJP with - GASP!!! - a woman. But has he been in any blockbuster lately? And in the gossip world nobody believes he's straight and in the tabloid readership nobody cares.

Christian Bale - rumors of kinky sex and sado-maso shit but I've never heard anything about the gay stuff. But I'm not a Balehead so maybe I missed some juicy stuff. :D

Robert Downey Junior? Another closet case married with brats.

Another contender would be Zac Efron. His Hudson charades are well under way.

And the list goes on and on and on!

Shia comes to mind because he's the newest out there, and the one with probably the least rumor baggage attached to him. I thought of RDJ, Fraswer and Zac, but would he be writing about one of those when chatter about them has been around for awhile?

Interesting about Perez deleting older "gay" posts about Jake. I'd love to see someone ask him about that next time he gets interviewed about what a "maverick" he is. Haven't had a chance to read the article about HW pr yet.

Anonymous said...

Hmm. Way to get us to tune in Friday Ted. He does say Toothy's handlers want him dead, which I do believe.

Re the LA sighting. I give it 20% credibility. The only reason is that in the last BI, Ted was pissed and word of what Toothy said got back to him awfully fast for someone who is supposed to be in Morocco. Plus POP is mostly an English cst and crew. Now if Jake snuck back and has been hanging around with Austin and his gay social circle in LA, I can see him taunting Ted and his words getting back to Ted quickly.

Breif comment re Jake on Defamer in response to a picture of Reese looking like she is waiting for a ride:

"Jake. JAKE! JAAAAKKKEEE!!! Hurry up with the car already. Honestly, I bet if I were Lance Armstrong in a pair of bike shorts you'da been on my butt like...well, like bike shorts on Lance Armstrong. Hurry up, now. I have to go home and reevaluate our relationship."

Pretty funny.

Good points. I've checked FCC briefly and I saw an article mentioning Adrian Grenier's GF who was in the car with Shia when he had his accident, and this and that and yadayadayada. I've scanned the thing very quickly and didn't get all the details but it felt like they were trying to lift a love triangle up with that one.

Ok, I'm not supposed to be here at this hour. Goodnight guys!

Wicked said...

I think Jake may have had a few days off from PoP over the past weekend, but based on how long it would take to get from Morocco to LA, I find it hard to believe he came home.
