The August Moon Festival or Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most celebrated Chinese holidays.It is held on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month. 
Chinese families celebrate the end of the harvest season with a big feast, traditionally a time for families and neighbors to gather for moon-watching parties and children to carry brightly-colored lanterns.
And the moon cake is something shared at the feast. According to legend, in 1368 the Chinese overthrew the Mongol Yuan dynasty with the help of messages hidden in moon cakes. These tasty disc-shaped flaky pastries, filled with sweetened bean-paste and marked on top with the symbol of the baker, have thus become the food most associated with the August Moon, or Mid-Autumn festival.
The August Moon Festival is often called the Women's Festival. The moon symbolizes beauty and elegance. While Westerners worship the sun (yang or male) for its power, people in the Far East admire the moon. The moon is the 'yin' or female principle and it is a trusted friend.
In fact, many ancient August Moon folktales are about a moon maiden. On the 15th night of the 8th lunar moon, little children on earth can see a lady on the moon. On this magical occasion, children who make wishes to the Lady on the Moon will find their dreams come true.
Other Chinese legends say that the moon is at its brightest and roundest on this day. Under this bright autumn moon,friendships are made and renewed. It is perfect for a romantic rendezvous. For many years, Chinese poets write about long lost lovers finding their way to each other on this special night.
Friendship, Family, Love. Can you say that these three words describe those two any better than that?
Make a wish, call a friend, spend time with family. Celebrate the moon tomorrow.
OMG Olympic Moment
Rowing
Rowing is an endurance test that finishes at a speed of up to 10
metres a second. Crews cover the middle 1000 metres at about 40 strokes per minute, but, over the first and last 500 metres, shift up a gear to as many as 47.
The modern master is Steve Redgrave of Great Britain, widely hailed as the greatest rower ever. A six-time World Champion, he won gold medals at the last five Olympic Games and has been loosely crowned Athlete of the Century.
A rower has one oar in sweep rowing, an oar in each hand in sculling. Boats have one, two, four or eight rowers. The eights have a cox, who steers the boat and directs the crew, but, in all other boats, one rower steers by controlling a small rudder with a foot pedal.
Men and women each compete in single, double and quadruple sculls, lightweight double scull, the eight and coxless pair. Men also race in coxless four and lightweight coxless four.
The OMG Olympic Take. Outdoor test of a relationship is rowing a boat or canoing, because you have to work together not against each other or you get nowhere. These two are definitely working together.
What did you think it was? Being able to say cox in J & A post?

Great post!Don't know about Austin but Jake likes to row.
cute term-
Bisweptual: A rower who can row both on starboard and port side.
cox box, top-nut, heads, touch it, hold it hard, bury the blade, shooting your slide. who says rowing isn't sexual??!
During Rendition promo an interviewer asked Jake something about who he was dating and he said 'the answer is on the moon'. My 1st thought: there's a man in the moon.
Also wierd is that Reese was in a movie about 16 yrs ago called Man in the Moon. But i don't think Jake was referring to that. Its still MAN in the moon. ;)
Or is it a man in his moon? ; )
The name of the band doing today's song is !!! but is said as "Chick, Chick, Chick." Why? I don't know, but I kinda like it.
I think there is a good chance that Baby Tile exists, although I can't say it 100%.
I also agree that a baby makes the bearding and closeting worse. If there is a baby, I think they can get away with for a bit with an infant, but what about when the child is older? It's one thing for an adult to chose to never be together anywhere outside the house (which is what I think they have to be doing at this point); it's another thing to do it to your child. You can't keep a kid locked up in the house, and it would be wrong wrong wrong to only send the kid out with a nanny. And even if you can buy up photos, someone would eventually see them and post a sighting somewhere.
From Previous Post:
"Baby Tile is where Ted and I part.
Me too, AG. Just can't buy it. I also don't think it's squee-worthy to hide your real gay family and parade a false straight one."
Sorry, never have believed this story! If Jake had a baby by man or woman, I think he would not hide it, maybe not speak on it though. If you or both of you are not gonna raise the child, why bother having / adapting a child. Just don't SEE it! These guys have absolutely no time to raise a child.
I only hope that Jake and Austin are still friends.
Just how I feel.
No, haven't bought Baby Tile either - I don't believe Jake would hide a child.
(Not that young men don't have kids, or want them. Didn't NPH's bf David have twins with his ex-bf, and he's pretty young?)
I think Family Tile refers to Reese's children.
I think Family Tile refers to Reese's children.
I disagree. I think Family Tile does refer to Baby Tile. I don't think Ted would refer to Reese's children as TT's family. But Ted has never actually said that BT exists. He does continue to somewhat vaguely fan the flames of the BT rumor though, so I think Ted thinks there is some truth to it. Maybe Ted knows that BT has been discussed or even planned for the future.
The only way I personally will believe in Baby Tile is if I see J&A pushing a baby carriage.
I dont believe theres a baby tile either for many of the same reasons already given. That would just be too over the top. I barely believe that J & A are even together. But I guess time will tell. I hope they did remain friends though.
Good song today. Never heard this one before.
While I think there is plenty of room for disagreement as to the existence of Baby Tile, I agree with Wicked that there is no way Ted is referring to Reese's kids.
As for thinking Jake would never hide a child, I never in a million years would have seen Jake engaged in full-on bearding ala Reeke either. After that I sadly think he is capable of almost anything.
"I never in a million years would have seen Jake engaged in full-on bearding ala Reeke either. After that I sadly think he is capable of almost anything."
Pleas don't kill fellow me OMGers, but there is a chance that Jake and Reese are having sex! Am I the only one here who believes this?? I truly believe that Jake is interested in Men. Have had sex with Men. (the pic in the park in France said a lot to me among other things) I believe Jake was having sex with Kirsten and Austin while dating her years ago. So what's the difference? I'm 50/50 with the bearding and same with J/A relationship being hidden. He is spending TO MUCH time with Reese. Because I want he and Austin to be together, I somehow "want it to be true" that he is bearding. I think he is mostly into men also as some others think.
Lovely post today, guys! :) Love moon cakes.
I was happily surprised to hear about NPH's bf David having twins with a former partner - so you never know. Color me cautiously optimistic about BT.
Am I the only one here who believes this??
Yes.
So what's the difference?
Compare Reeke pictures with Jake and Kirsten pictures.
11:13 and ps, ok, ok LOL
I'm OK with that lol
Well I don't think either of them would have a kid with them over seas, considering Jake is filming, and Austin is with his brother-in-law (well susposedly going to be/already been there done that/or currently)
Forgot to say Happy Anniversary to OMG "Happy Anniversary"
Last year this time buddys of mine asked me to join them on a trip to MV for Labor Day to ti?
Had so much fun there, somehow I forgot that I was on Jake and Family's stomping grounds.
Good song today. Never heard this one before.
The whole record is pretty good. This is yet another example of post following song. I told Spesh I had this song and asked her if she could do a moon post of some kind. And here's the result.
Hmm. Very interesting those Ted comments from Jan and June. I have a pretty good memory for Toothy/Jake stuff but somehow those escaped me. Still, I can't buy a baby being here. Maybe continued efforts to have one with a surrogate though. If there was an actual baby already here, I think Jake's mom, sister etc would be around, not missing in action.
One commenter asked Ted why he did not do the one day per month Toothy clues. Ted has obviously forgotten he even said that. His reply was that one day was not enough. Could not agree more. We need a Toothy item every day.
Thanks for the info on 8/15 August moon. I am now going to celebrate it myself.
J & R having sex? No, I don't buy it. Body language does not lie. That is not an intimate couple.
December 11, 2007
Dear Ted:
I have a request. Is there any way, maybe once per month, you could feature a Toothy Tile Thursday in which you choose about 10 questions from readers and answer those questions in one comprehensive, albeit coded, retort? By the way, I found a common thread among Shia LaBeouf, The Rock and Steven Weber.
Bev
Birmingham, Alabama
Dear Baiting for Toothy:
I’ll think about, hon, not a bad idea at all. And what’s the common thread, dying to know?
Damn, Federer and S. Williams are both out in the quarterfinals.
Also, Hoff and Ziegler failed to make the 800 free final.
Now back to regularly scheduled programming.
Most know, have heard me say for a long time I believe that there is baby. It is a progression of their relationship. While their have been ups and downs to it, a big break up (summer of lonely wolfboy) and make ups (a fresh faced smiling Jake in the coffee pictures), Ted has never said since that they have split and while he has acknowledged Toothy bearding. It don't think anyone can argue they are not in love. They have been together in long term committed relationship, and they both value and cherish family. Wouldn't you want to have a child with the person you love and share your life with.
That does not mean you are obligated to share that life with people you don't know.
I've said many times you go big to cover big, and big meant baby. Mentions on TMZ for trailer visits or Ted's digital dance in NY, those would get cycled over after a little bit in the mainstream. But something that you felt you wanted to keep private, you need a big diversion. Like a magic trick, you are distracted by the women going into the box, to see how the trick really works.
Have you noticed that their shooting schedules are staggered as much as they can be.
Maggie and Peter traveled with Ramona why couldn't Jake and Austin. Ok, so their travel would be a little more difficult but not impossible. Just more planning.
Ted's been mentioning that Jake is looking for a new female assistant. And he stressed female. Could that be new nanny?
You haven't seen seen Jake much with anyone, because I think there has been a huge line drawn in the sand, my private life vs. my public life.
I think he did what he did to protect the private life he wants.
Definitely not thrilled about WHO he chose to help pull off this plan in the least.
Not to say that they won't come out publicly at some point. I think they were close very close before. Don't think it's a secret in HW community about that they are together as couple. HW is just like the cool cliques in school, they keep the secrets of everyone in it rather than break the illusion to the outsiders or in this case the public. Then again they may just do a Jodie.
Sorry for the huge comment.
Too give you something after dumping that huge comment on you guys.
Olympic Treat
Mark Spitz talking about Michael Phelps.
"He is the single greatest Olympic athlete of all time now,"
Spitz on Phelps' run
To Special K,
I'm inclined to agree with your comment but I just don't think that a baby makes deception okay. It just doesn't. If you want to keep things private, then do. There's no need to be a liar about it.
I said I understand why he did it. That's not to say I agree with how he did it.
But I think at the time they perceived this was the only option they had.
Wow, Special! et tu ? The cursed, painful longevity of Reeke is getting to everyone. We all have had a slow buildup of stuff inside - it's good to get it out!! Let things bounce off each other. Sometimes it helps to clear the head; point something out that one hadn't thought of before.
I don't know what to think anymore. Everyday, thoughts swing from one side of the pendulum to the other. Everyone makes excellent points.
Special, you made an excellent comment this morning, the last post. Haven't we all been there. I have to slap my own forehead alot, speaking off the top of my head at times. Then go back & say, well, hey, I might've done the same. Or I understand now why they might have done that. Doesn't mean you have to like it, but it doesn't stop you from liking or loving that person. Cause you still love them inside.
Don't worry about long posts! Hail to the long posts!
From Entertainment Lawyer:
2) "How do you try and revive a career that only you want revived? Well, in Hollywood this year you can either get pregnant, or do what this C list film/B list television actress that I love to hate is going to do. Become a lesbian. Yes, you heard it here first. This actress is going to loudly dump her boyfriend and start dating a woman simply for the publicity. Forget about the days of hiding the fact you are gay, this actress has it all lined up. Instead of paying someone to be a beard for you, this actress is going to take some of her fast dwindling cash and pay someone to be her lesbian lover." [CDaN]
3) "I honestly didn't believe it the first time I heard this about a month ago, but when I heard it again yesterday, I started to believe. This actress is C list. Used to be on a hit network television show. Now she does films. Definite B list name recognition. Long term boyfriend who everyone assumed she was bearding for. True? Who the hell knows. But, this is where it gets even more interesting. Despite the fact that she is one of the most desired women in Hollywood and radiates sex, it turns out that our actress is actually a virgin. Going to remain one until she is married which is why she actually enjoyed bearding. Guess her relationship prior to that was all about fighting the guy off." [CDaN]
A lighthearted moment is needed; somebody tell a joke : D
i'm surprised you'all forgot another possibility after you were all partaking at the banquet a few saturdays ago: maybe the baby was an unplanned pregnancy by jake or austin with a 'civilian'. it would be exceptionally easy to keep it mum if the baby lived with its 'regular person/nonactress' mother in another city. no one ever said the baby or the babe-with-baby lived with j&a.
Gah, I've been a Olympic swimming fan since Mark Spitz *sigh* and I find Michael Phelps just adorable - he's got a boy's face in a grown man's body - like America's son. My OH was telling me what he eats when he's training, and it boggles the mind - something like 5 eggs, three pancakes for breakfast, and entire pizza and pasta at a sitting, etc. He's just adorable - exceptional in an already exceptional elite class of athletes. I hope he gets every medal there is. Go Michael Phelps! :)
I agree with you Spesh, that was a great post about BT - I'm willing to cut J&A some slack because we just don't know how it is for them, or what they are up against. I'm hoping there's a BT too.
Attention: Jake Gooberballs will be now played by Jake Moobsandall.
"J & R having sex? No, I don't buy it. Body language does not lie. That is not an intimate couple."
ITA.
"If you want to keep things private, then do. There's no need to be a liar about it."
I feel exactly the same way. Being private is one thing but lying and creating a double life is a whole different story. I really cant condone that.
A newly ordained priest is nervous about hearing confessions and asks an older priest to observe one of his sessions to give him some tips. After a few minutes of listening, the old priest suggests that they have a word. “I’ve got a few suggestions,” he says. “Try folding your arms over your chest and rub your chin with one hand.” The new priest tries this. “Very good,” says his senior. “Now try saying things like 'I see', 'I understand' and 'Yes, go on.'” The younger priest practises these sayings, too. “Well done,” says the older priest. “Don't you think that's better than slapping your knee and saying: “No way! What happened next?”
"Pleas don't kill fellow me OMGers, but there is a chance that Jake and Reese are having sex! Am I the only one here who believes this??"
No, I'm of the same opinion. Just cos you can get it up for men doesn't mean you aren't perfectly capable of getting it up for a woman.
Whether it's a particularly hot sex life with Reese.....I doubt it, she seems the uptight type.
Oh and I don't know what the status quo is between Jake and Austin NOW, but you can definitely see the intimacy between them (Jaustin)in the pictures from a couple of years ago - they do look closer than I have ever seen Jake and Reese look but still....maybe Jake decided being with a woman was easier and more convenient. To be honest Reese was probably used to being in a fairly sexless marriage for the last few years, probably wouldn't bother her if they just had sex once a month. JMO.

Hey, did I miss a meal somewhere???
You know, the thing that gets me sad is that Jake felt he needed to do this bearding to begin with. And I know there's alot I don't understand, i.e., the need to appear hetero in order to get "big" leading man roles. He seemed like a beautiful kid. He was always smiling for the paps, the loving way he held his dogs, the amount of time he spent with his family, the ease with which he spoke to talkshow hosts. What was wrong with the person that he was? Why should anyone ever apologize or hide who they are? And if Reeke goes on alot longer like so many here seem to think it is going to, why would one spend several years of their young life doing something so drastic like he is doing? I ask those who are around baby boomer age like myself; knowing now what you do, don't you realize now how precious every year of your life is? Don't know what exactly I'm trying to say with all this babble, but just that it all seems so much covering & time spent being unhappy when it shouldn't have to be at all. And I don't care that it's Hollywood; maybe I'm ignorant that way.
Well, I think I'd have to question her sanity if she didn't want to with him, so I think they are or have been having sex, but that doesn't mean I don't think he and Austin weren't an item at one time too. They may still be a couple, and J&R might all may be fake as well, I have no idea.
Joke Said! Lol! Yeah, I bet there are some priests who feel like saying "Yeah, what happened next?"
Good one! : D We needed it today!! I love you all, you know that? I don't know you, but my heart is filled with love for everyone cause there is a tiny bit of pain today.
Lunch break over, back to the saltmines :(
Well, I think I'd have to question her sanity if she didn't want to with him...
Reese's PR team is selling the same BS for the last 20 months - who on Earth could resist Reese?
LOL!

The Wedding Banquet
omg's 1st film discussion.
Phelps fan, I am worried about these next two races. Ian Crocker came to Beijing just to swim the 100 fly. He's completely rested, while Phelps has been swimming his ass off. I also think that Ryan Lochte will be fierce competition for Phelps in the 200 IM. Lochte has been swimming here already, but is much more rested than Phelps. If Phelps can actually pull off 8 golds, it will be, as Rowdy Gaines said, "a miracle."
One of the swimmers told Phelps' coach, "I've figured out Michael Phelps. He's not from another planet. He's from the future."
I hope he does it! :)
funny [not really] how you all ignore my post. is it because i'm not using my regular blogger id? or you don't like the possibility of a unplanned pregnancy by j or a? can't believe that maybe one or both of them is bisexual and actully had sex with a woman? imo the accidental pregnancy is alot more realistic, believeable and easier to keep confidential than a 'surrogate/baby living with j&a/j&a taking care of baby fulltime/j&a hiding baby' scenario.
No, you are quite right that it is possible. Maybe some just haven't had a chance to respond.
“Doesn't mean you have to like it, but it doesn't stop you from liking or loving that person. Cause you still love them inside.”
I can truly say the “man” stole my heart a long time ago when I first saw him in October Sky. After the BBM experience, which is now forever merged with my soul, I had to find people to talk with online and came across Jake’s “official” site. There are many out there, although the only official site according to the owner who is in contact with Jake from time to time was Jake.Gyllenhaal.com – and I will say the clientele that posted there were passionate about Jake, myself included. That site by the way has undergone some changes recently and moved to an alternate site – not as busy – but still the high level of discussion (meaning per Jake, no discussion about his personal life). I applaud that.
BUT, there is a need for people to be able to share their thoughts and dreams without any restrictions, and still retain a level of respect for him along with Austin. I do believe this is where I need to be. I found OMG just a few weeks ago and have since visited daily and sometimes; many times a day.
Those who post here certainly are committed to Jake, and Austin – that creates a special “Jack” twist about the whole thing. Austin is also someone I have started to follow after seeing him in TDAT. If you take the time and slow that movie down to basically a frame by frame look, as much as your DVD player allows, zoom it in a bit, and you look at Austin and Jake’s eye contact, especially when they are in the public library, you will see something amazing. There is a definite connection via an eye twinkle between them. That shows in the photographs they share space with.
In my opinion, there has only been one time viewing many, many photographs that I have seen that connection between Jake and Reese; and I mean just once. I realize that is a snapshot in time, but it speaks volumes. I say Reese because I don’t think Jake would appreciate her being called Reeke.
He may not know it, but take my view; his heart is not in it with Reese. He may truly believe that he loves her, but there is something there giving off warning signals. I have a friend, who is gay that ended up marrying and starting a family. And ten years later, he now cruises for action, usually when he is intoxicated. Who wins from that in the long run? If you have been with someone of the same sex intimately; that feeling never, never leaves you. I do believe they call it destiny.
I so wish, in my heart that Jake and Austin, are still an item. I do believe they are at least special friends that may have been involved or still could be involved with each other. There may be an understanding between them, so as not to possibly destroy their careers. If you follow T-Casa, he has mentioned that it is not who people think and I don’t know if he is purposely trying to throw one off or not. There are many interpretations of just who Grey Goose is out there and I do hope it is Austin.
“Together they are something to behold. Together, I hope they get the chance to grow old.”
Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to add yet another heart-felt opinion to this wonderful site.
Willluvit4ever
Do you really believe the other would be happy about the other saying oops I know how this sounds, but I got someone pregnant? Oh by the way its all cool we can co parent with them?
I don't see Austin thrilled Jake would be with anyone else. And I don't think Jake would be happy that Austin had accidentally gotten someone pregnant. Hell would have no fury and we have not seen Jake go back to sad wolf boy either.
Thanks for the joke. :-D
I know it's not how you meant it Special, but the argument that someone gay just wants a private life is almost always code for closeting. Lots of HW couples manage to live a private life, but you still know who they're with and if they have kids you know it. They don't hide spouses and children. Maggie is a good example of that, she likes to keep her life private, but she's not hiding Ramona. And even Maggie loves talking about her daughter, it's what people want to do when someone is that important to them.
It's one thing not to talk about them out of fear, I think most of us who are bi or gay have had moments like that, which is why I can understand not coming out, especially given HW.
But bearding puts it in a completely different ballpark. And I'm sorry, no matter why he's doing it, there's no way of getting around the fact that by trying to sell the world on Reeke that Jake is also essentially telling the world he thinks that being gay is something to be ashamed of and/or inferior to being straight, and that Austin, and possibly Baby Tile, are not good enough to get the acknowledgment that a wife and child get.
Forgot to say that I don't for a minute think Jake and Reese are having sex together, nor do I think Baby Tile would be the accidental product of sleeping with someone else.
I think that this was a joint decision between the two of them and I think that Austin had as much of a say in it as Jake.
I think hindsight is 20/20 though and that they are questioning why they did do this this way.
"There are many interpretations of just who Grey Goose is out there and I do hope it is Austin."
Not many at all, actually.
Austin clearly chose to go along with this, but beyond love and wanting to make Jake happy, the reasons for doing so would be pure speculation, and a lot of the reasons aren't pretty, so I'm not going to go there.
And who knows how far Austin thought this would all go, and you're probably right about them not thinking this would bother them. But Austin would have to be made out of stone to not be bothered by the thought of his friends and family seeing the recent Reeke covers, even if they are just HW rags, and unless they never set foot in a drugstore or grocery story, you know they have to see them.
He may truly believe that he loves her, but there is something there giving off warning signals.
Reeke Rome photo sessions - can you imagine how convincing Jake would be with a woman he's comfortable with, like Jennifer Aniston?
There are photo ops where Reeke don't look like good friends, much less a couple.
Reese went Morocco now because she'll be too busy later. Thank God. She's gotta get out there and promote the hell of Four Christmases with Vince Vaughn for November. Will they do the interviews together? Will she tell how she sat the kids down and told them there's no Santa because it was good for them?
Well said Willluvit4ever. I don't try to impose my thoughts as being The Truth, because I can only speculate what is actually going on with Jake. I really don't know!! All I can say, as I have said before, this is a subject I know about all to well. Dating both men and women and hiding the fact that I date men. Having sex with women and thinking about men. Having sex with women and thinking about women (sometimes) not often though(lol).
GAY NOW!!! and excepting it. lol I really (feel) Jake is there. What would make my day is to see J/A together smiling, right now, but I have not seen that for some time now. I have absolutely nothing against Reese. Sorry for the rant.
Neil Reveals all to Howard Stern:
Harris said he began to think he was gay when he was 13, but hadn't "formulated it in his brain" at that time. He said he continued to date a lot of Hollywood women, including actress Christine Taylor. Here's what he said about Taylor: "She's like the coolest, nicest chick ever. She's an absolute catch, and I thought if I'm not going to feel the super sparks with her, than it probably means that I'm gay." He estimated he'd been with between 12-15 girls before he came out of the closet.
I think Jake may have felt that way about Kiki. I think he did have genuine feelings for her, and that she wasn't a beard, or at least not initially. And I think any thoughts he may've had about being able to settle down with a woman despite probably being attracted to men (and maybe even thinking he'd just settle for the occassional hookup) were completely blown out of the water because of Austin.
"What was wrong with the person that he was? "
This is my ultimate question PG. What was wrong with him in the first place? He was sexy as hell and could easily be with men or women. I dont think anyone had a prob with that either. He himself said he didnt have a prob with it either. So why has he changed so much? Im stumped : (
Having just spent the last half hour shamefully ogling pics of the olympic swimmers its just struck me as another example of Jake (and Reese's) rather incompetent pr that they introduce Jake's hot new bod when the world is being dazzled by this
swimmer 1
swimmers 2
swimmers 3
Certainly make old stig of the dump and his granny look a bit shabby.
For those who might not get the stig of the dump reference

Man, there is not much more anal but sadder to myself than for it to be 69 degrees outside right now but not being able to walk after work because it's stinkin raining!! Then I get home and it looks out like it has stopped. >:-(
Would like to issue a warm welcome to willluvit4ever. Welcome to OMG!
Door#3 - don't mean to not comment. Myself, I don't know what in the heck to think about baby Tile. I know what I'd like to think. The more I read everyone's thoughts on it, I'm more confused than ever. Now you have me wondering who you are.....

I do! She's been all over my stinkin Avon books & I've had to tear those pages out, thus leaving a dogeared, wrinkled, staples-falling-out shell of a book. Not what I wanna see when I get my always-look-forward-to-seeing Avon book. LOL.
Damn those pics are giving me the hot flashes. Especially that last one. WOW!
Michael Phelps is a god and I especially loves his MT's:-)
Last night I kinda agreed that Ted meant that there may be a Baby Tile because it came after Mr and Mr. I think it is highly unlikely though. Ted used the expression family man with the intent that we could believe it meant whatever we wanted it to be. He led us in the direction of Jake, Austin, and Baby tile but in reality it could mean anything.
i know i know! the secret surrogate mother is minnie driver!!
PG, you really make me laugh with your description of what you do to your Avon book. I saw one with Reese on it once on someone's desk at work and it took all all my willpwer to keep from saying anything.
i'm surprised you'all forgot another possibility after you were all partaking at the banquet a few saturdays ago: maybe the baby was an unplanned pregnancy by jake or austin with a 'civilian'. it would be exceptionally easy to keep it mum if the baby lived with its 'regular person/nonactress' mother in another city. no one ever said the baby or the babe-with-baby lived with j&a.
No because when Baby Tile was first mentioned in Jan 07 by Ted it was as a planned surrogacy and then this:

Stork Stirrings
Since it's Blind Friday, thought I'd also give you the latest on Toothy Tile. Hear he's not really planning on adopting a kiddo, as I previously broke a few weeks ago. Nope. I was—gasp!—wrong.
Turns out T2, so blab our mutual amigos, plans on swirling up his love juice, right alongside his boyfriend's procreating protein, ya know, putting it in some kinda beaker or toaster, or something, and mixing it around with a donor's eggs, then putting the results into yet another donor to carry the resulting embryo.
The plan is, Boyfriend Tile will then, legally (and far, far away from pokin' press types like yours truly) be listed as papa—when, in fact, our beloved Tooth just may be the correct daddio.
Oh, the lengths scaredy-cat cats will go to in order to cover up their preferred meowing ways. So damn silly. Why the hell can't the dudes be more like roarin' hons such as Melissa Etheridge and Tammy Lynn Michaels, spouses and partners who are proud of whom they purr 'n' poke at?"
Destiny, when you walked by, you should've very slyly & discreetly flipped it over real fast!
If i shall judge from the rumores from "broadwayworld message board", David Burtka`s ex(whom he has twins with) is someone named John Raymond Barker. Quite a diva. 50-50 procent if he shows up at all, and doesn`t sign autographs. A Broadway-guy...and something else.
His professional name is "Jerby". If you search for that on youtube and go to "bisexuality is for dummies", i, for one, think he has something to say. I kind of liked what he said, so try it, if you want to:)
When it comes to baby-Tile...i have always believed that story. Why would Ted lie about it, one and a half year after he started? I just don`t think he does. I think he knows!
I think the baby does excist. I think Austin is mainly taking care of him/her. He doesn`t get papped while walking around withouth any big celebrities are around him. He can live his "normal" life from day to day.
Doe`s he have his boyfriend beside him? Of course not. he just couldn`t! Not him or any other big celebrity!Without them-it`s all fine! Or...not, if you ask me, because i sadly believe in the baby.
Austin, if he really is a father, have done no wrong so far, i think. He is not very much in the media... he could just have been hiding his maybe wanted private life...like Brad Renfro, who had a son.
Jake on the other hand.. he has kids and is the perfect father, or so he want`s people to think. Taking over for Ryan Phillippe.
If he has a real family...-shame on him! He`s the media-person here. He is the one to obvieusly beard, and he is the one to create a whole "perfect-near as it can be"- family for the whole world...just because he puts his own(if they excist)-family on the scala:"not good enough!"
I really hope there is no baby, but i do think so.
And..there is no way in he.. NPH and Maggie are republicans, relax, Tom:)
Okay, no one has to pay attention to this,I have to test something. You guys have intrigued me with your avatars and wondered how you did that. I think I might have just set up my own blogger account. Holding my breath, ready to let out a big SQUEAL!!!!
OH mY DOG!!It's gonna work! Destiny, I looked @ your blogger and you don't have anything in there. You need to put some stuff in there. Tom was brave - he put in his age!! : ) I wasn't. This is so, so COOL!!! I'm so excited.
Congrats Prairie Girl!!
Jersey Tom said...
Yay Prairie Girl. Nice avatar. No worry PG age is just a number. The only problem with my age is that I will probably have to live to be a 100 to be around when Jake comes out:-(
I think you are right NG no way Maggie or NPH are republican.
PG - I have a question for you. You live in the the middle America where HW is always concerned about how it all plays.
What do you think - what do you think would have happen out in the midwest if someone like Jake came out?
Thanks, Special, I can't hardly contain myself - it's a rare moment on this earth when I figure something out on my own regarding this laptop. And You need to put some stuff in there, too. I like learning about people!
This is so cool, so cool!
You know, one thing about the earlier comment today regarding if Jake& you know are doing the deed. Well, which one of us really knows, unless we have actually been in one of their's cargoshorts pocket or ultra-big handbag. But, they just don't look like it. Not in any of their pictures. Maybe that JJ concert picture, but you know what blew that one out of the water? Jake's eyes, bulging out to see if the camera was taking it in. He wasn't even concentrating on who he was canoodling. Wouldn't you think if they were, out of all these camera rolls of film that we've had, we would have at least one pic of them all over each other? Open mouthed kiss? Hands on lower regions or around the waist with a little grip action in them, not just some fragile, feathery touch? I mean, he's not out of his sex prime yet, he's 27. She is in her prime. She oughta be all over him at times. I mean, come on.
Tom,always good to talk with you again:) "The creative coalitions",-the members are there for non-profits, as special said. They are just there to try to make people better "be clear in what they mean"...or you understand i think, with my bad english.
I know NPH is an Obama fan...or so i read:)
Special, I don't know if I'm a good judge or not of how it would play out. Things can be pretty conservative out here yet you know what, we have a male gay couple in my new church's pictorial directory. And it's a Methodist church. Where I work, we have a lesbian production supervisor (who I had no idea was, and don't think anybody at work had an idea; she brought her partner with her to the holiday dinner), and a couple of open lesbian union workers. Who would've thought? It's really come a long way. I don't think most people would care. These co-workers of mine, they are accepted very much so at work as they are there to do a job. And, of course, they are good people. I'm not naive enough to think that there isn't some remarks made behind the hand, but there's always going to be that. Not sure if I answered the question satisfactorially (sp?) or not.
I don't think it would be as big of deal as HW would think it would be. Yes there would be some who would not be happy but I think their perception of the Midwest is very segued and they don't give them the benefit of the doubt. I think a lot of times they use that threat with their stars to keep them in, it won't play in the midwest. Sadly, I think it's a crutch that they use because they don't want to "change what ain't broke" (their bottom line)
Yeah, I don't think it would be either. Really. I think there's more nervousness regarding race around here than sexuality.
I think, the main - difference betwwen NPH and David Burtka VS TR.Knight and Mark in the media...is their personalities VS job...simple as that. TR. is in love-withouth any majore complications. He likes to show it-and good for him!!! His boyfriend is a common person. Doe`s do work for charity, but it`s not his living...yet.
Neil- on the other hand, has an actor boyfriend, his age, with kids.(Don`t know the contact with the kids these days, though) Can understand his way too, as he wants the boyfriend to have a professional identity- not linked to him!
I think that is impossible now though, but at least he tried.
Jake and Austin could never get those chances,simply because they did something the other two main-celebrities in mentioned didn`t- they faked! -And if there was something in the media who could make it sound that way- the two other people said it like it was. No big deal!
Can someone please explain what's going on with Bob Costas' hair?
Nice avatar, PG!
Can someone please explain what's going on with Bob Costas' hair?
I'd also like to know, but I'm kind of afraid of the answer!
Thanks, Wicked. Bob's hair - LOLLLL!!!! I know! What in the wild heck is going on there?
Special, on TCM right now is a 1940 version of Pride & Prejudice. Greer Garson is Lizzie Bennet and do you know that it's Laurence Olivier who plays Mr Darcy? My sister & I had no idea that was Laurence Olivier. He was quite the good looking fellow in his youthful day.
A gay Jonas?
Woohoo on your avatar PG. And one of these days maybe I'll get around to putting in information about myself, I'm not as brave as Tom.. :-) And Tom, I may also be pushing a very ripe age too before we get that Jake bio.
A gay Jonas, now that would be something. That would be pretty ground-breaking if one of them was gay and came out.

and if the st8 brothers publicly supported him [and a bf if there's one] to show evryone that gay people are ok.
Yes, the Jonas Brothers might be hotter than Miley Cyrus in the world of Disney right now. My niece & nephew were very into them when they were up here a few weeks ago.
Um, does anyone know what that little trashcan means in the bottom left corner of a post? How come no one else has that? Wonder what I did. I know I utter alot of nonsense but there's no need for a trashcan at the end of everything. What a hint.
Time to hit the hay. Sweet dreams, everyone. 1-o
it means you can delete your post. everyone sees only their own trashcan.
btw everyone has "said..." after their name. my name is "answer" not "answer said" ;)
Well the topic of Baby Tile was put through the wringer today. I am trying to keep an open mind on the topic, but not for a minute would I belive it was an accident with some woman. I do think the boys are true to each other. I also think the bearding looked good on paper and in concept, but reality has proven to be a nightmare. But how do they get out of it now? Remember how upset Jake was after the dinner with Bruckheimer. Perhaps he told them that night POP was pushed back to 2010, meaning the charade has to continue way longer than anyone planned.
WDW has a pic today of Maggie and Peter shopping. One glance at it is all it takes to say yes, this is a couple in love and who do it. Probably as often as they can.
no matter how much a couple loves each other and makes a committment, shit still happens.
Nice avatar PG : )
If Jake and Reese are having sex with each other, then they are either doing it wrong or doing it badly.
Cause you shouldn't look that continuously sour if you're enjoying yourselves
Whatever you think about Kirsten, she and Jake always looked like they had just gone for a quickie in the bushes.
Much like he does with someone else we know
Does anyone else think that Austin is publically leading the single life instead of defintitely hooking up with a beard, because the boys realised that PR would make them double date in public and that's a line they don't want to cross?
Thanks, Answer & Clarity.
Yesterday was a heavy day, wasn't it? Exhale. But it's FRIDAY!!What a glorious feeling for everyone.
Anyone else wondering why we have had no other pictures of Reeke this week since the POP set pics? Maybe they want us to think they're holed up in their suites, doing you know what. I like to think that's an unintentional slip, suites. Wouldn't be a surprise at all. Because they really don't look even like good shopping buddies anymore.
You know, this would be hilarious if it wasn't so tragic. I've lost my avatar!!!! Technical difficulties, as in operator error & apparent incorrect typing of password. Dangit. Gotta work on it tonight. :( :(
Maybe best that POP has been moved from summer 2009. From EW:
"Entertainment Weekly’s early look at the new Harry Potter movie just a got a whole lot earlier. In a last-minute move, Warner Bros. has just announced that the studio is pulling Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince from its fall lineup and rescheduled it for July 17, 2009."
Jack Weil, the western wear maker of the snap button shirts, yes those used in BBM died at age 107.

(I have a friend, who is gay that ended up marrying and starting a family. And ten years later, he now cruises for action, usually when he is intoxicated. Who wins from that in the long run?)
This happens with more men than hetro society realizes. But then, some may be bi and just afraid to come clean or be open about it.
Larry Craig to name a few. I really hated to use him for example though.
Larry Craig is gay.
Marriage with a woman does not make a man bisexual.
