Star in Stripes


Top Ten Reason Jakey was at the Doctor's:

10. I'll show you. I have long arm syndrome too!

9. He said his shirts give him a rash, well let's just see about that.

8. Tricky beanie removal it's knitted itself into my head

7. Damn Bend and Snap, I bent and it snapped.

6. The doctor, the dentist, the optometrist, oh my!

5. Need more lollipops, hope they don't give stupid stickers.

4. 2 snotty noses four germy hands lots of drool

3. No I didn't pull a Hillary Duff! and it's not a "scorpion" bite

2. Damn insurance. Doesn't physical by the son of Dr. count for anything?

1. No really I have a toothache !


To Heath:

We remember your spirit and know it lives on in your films, in the hearts of fans, friends and family and most importantly in your beautiful Matilda.


Congratulations to Matilda, Heath's family and friends as they celebrate his nomination for the Academy Awards.

geeeesh. I got on here out of a big bit of conscience biting at me since I left home & see I got somebody all riled. Can't even remember the blogger name, but that's alright.

I came back this morning because I didn't want my buddy Chris to think I was picking on him too bad. I'm sorry, Chris, I didn't mean to. In fact, I totally agree with you. I'm just a little different from you tho, in that romcoms/comedies/romances (uh, redundant, lol) are my thing. I love those. They help me escape when I go to the movies, too. Sometimes I carry my teasing too far & anyway, it was bothering me something awful this morning so I had to get on here.

And now I have to dodge my supervisor's getting up & down in order to comment on whoever's comment that was this morning.
All I can say is I can't sugarcoat things for myself & I can't ignore what I believe I am seeing. And you're absolutely right. He only needs to please himself. But I don't think I have ever said Jake, would you wear a dark green sweater? would you wear a fedora? would you stop this? that?. I believe my comments have been observations. And call me out if I have ever said "would you". I'll stand corrected. But I don't think I have.

I'll repeat. I'm just observing and this is what I'm seeing. And before I get carried away with my mouth, I'm stopping right there.

And thanks to everyone for the reactive comments. It is nice to have support. Don't have to agree with what I say. Just that we agree that this is a blog and it should be open to observations & comments, as long as they're not abusive or overly nasty.

I've got to get back to work. Congrats to Heath on his nom.

I can't believe it has been a year. :-(

Jake wearing that shirt is like waving a red flag in front of a bull; even the trolls and babblers can smell Austin on it, hence the overnight invasion.

Looks like that beanie operation was not a success, however, since it still looks like it is permanently attached to Jake's head.

"On playing "The Joker" in The "Dark Knight (2008)] The Joker, so far, is definitely the most fun I`ve had with any character. He`s just out of control -- no empathy, he`s a sociopath, uh, a psychotic, mass-murdering clown. And, uh, I`m just thoroughly, thoroughly enjoying it. It`s just exceeded any expectations I had of what the experience would be like."
Heath Ledger

Good Luck, Heath. I sure hope you win.

Came home yesterday from a workshop and was hit with the flu like being hit by a truck. The the stress and defenses down doesn't help, so still catching up on all the stuff from last night.

But the shirt is definitely another shout out about his man.

Destiny I kind of figure you to be a sound and ratrional person, think I read somewhere you are a lawyer, I may be wrong. My question is how can you interpret the oversize or quirky clothes that Jake wear as Austin's or insinuating that they have something to do with Austin? Even if Jake and Austin are still together as you may believe and I certainly do not, don't you think Jake has is own clothes? He certainly has his own sense of style. I just don't get it.

"Just because these two are deeply in love doesn't mean that they have to be connected at the hip. Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal were spotted the other day, each running separate errands on the opposite end of town.

Reese took her son Deacon Phillippe to school, while Jake made a little pit-stop in Beverly Hills. The couple spent a considerable amount of time together over the holidays.But since they've been back, they've each been spotted out and about on their own more often than not.

Absence does make the heart grow fonder. So does working out and maintaining that hot bod. Yowzah! "

Hilarious, the troll reaction. That is so Austin's shirt and you know Jake loves wearing his clothes. The jeans, the scarf, jackets. You don't wear someone's clothes because you don't have your own. You do it to have that person's essence on you all day. To revel in it.

Anonymous said...

Looking at the pics on IHJ, the shirt is not striped, but appears to be another variation on the plaid shirts he has been wear which also have double pockets.

The Shirt is red and very light gray plaid that appears white, looks like a table cloth.

It's also looks lined like a flannel shirt but cotton. Theer are a number of pics of Jake on IHJ where he rolls up or cuffs his sleeves.

He does love wearing those Chris bleach/jeans!!!

No worries, babblers. Reese didn't wear the ring because she was off duty and didn't expect to be paped.

what are you 12 years old? LoL pathetic.

OMG the shirt is NOT plaid. Just because it has slight highlights of horizontal shading like most mens striped shirts have doesn't make it plaid. And its not like the plaid shirts he wears at all not just because it isn't plaid but because it isn't flannel AND the flannle shirts had pockets with flaps and they buttoned unlike this striped shirt that has 2 open pockets.

Today must be very hard for Heath's family & friends, even though he received an Oscar nomination.

I'm glad he received a nomination. Boy, that Benjamin Button movie must be pretty good, huh? It's not one I'm going to make a point in seeing, but my tastes in movies are no gauge that is for sure, LOL!

Come on, hasn't anybody seen Dying Gaul yet?!! I'm bustin'. I know. We're not supposed to discuss til tomorrow night. lol. I'll be patient.

Special, so sorry to hear about you and having the flu. Boy, alot of people catching stuff right now. It's that time of year. People are inside alot and that means the olllll' germspores are floatin' around. And not only in the air, but everytime you pick up a gas pump, touch an ATM/credit card keypad, touch a doorhandle, ah ah ah!! there goes the contact.

prairiegirl said...

You know, it is pretty bad when a blog like A Socialite's Life feels like they have to explain a few pictures of J & R on their own. As if they're saying "Calm down! Calm down! No need for alarm!". lol

It's ridiculous, really. And some of the scoffers here are revealing just a bit too much of themselves by their comments. Remarks about patterns & trends in comments made by regular OMG bloggers. And remarks about a regular OMG blogger's profession that was believed to have been read at another time. It interests me to see that even though one scoffs at the observations here, that these observations are still enough to rattle the cages of comfort. Rattle the cages enough that apparently there's been a need to maintain a history of regular monitoring of what is said here.

prairiegirl said...

lol. And on that note, I'm done with my lunch hour and free hour is now over. Looks like that little tumbleweed of dust has settled and hopefully, regular programming can be resumed.

Everyone have a great afternoon! Special, you continue to rest! And I'll bid adieu.

destiny said...

No talking about the movie PG, especially since there might be people who haven't watched it yet.

I thought Benjamin Button was just okay, certainly not award-worthy. My guess is this is the "mainstream, but with arty appearances" film, nomination-wise.

I never talk about my job, so I have no idea why you are making assumptions about what I do Truth Hurts. I am however a huge mystery fan, and I'm pretty good at adding up clues. Sometimes things are not what they seem. Like Reeke or Bush telling us that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction (didn't buy that one either).

Wicked said...

Poor Spesh. Talk about adding insult to injury. Or should it be injury to insult!

I kind of missed the "are you 12 years old" troll. Nice to see nothing happened to you!

Anonymous said...

I've come in late on the shirt fun. Yes, those sleeves are way, way too long for Jake. It's a printed (note that the pattern barely shows on the turned-up sleeves) checked shirt, probably flannel (you can tell by the way it folds and hangs that it's a heavier-weight fabric). Jake's whole clothes sharing thing is rather sweet!

Does he wear those stupid knit hats 'cause he's still dealing with hair extensions? (I'd joke that he's smuggling Baby Tile up there, but someone would think I'm serious.) I think Austin needs to give Jake some better accessories advice....

Regular programming? You mean, delusional middle aged drama queens with nothing to do but fantasize about the Jake / Austin lost love while eating Ben & Jerry's ice cream, hissy fit weilding angry gay men with rainbow flags covering their houses, yards and their French poodles, and wayward pre-teens (mostly boys) who will grow up to be mirror images of this group.

Ok, back to regular programming then. What channel is it on, I'm gonna watch too, or do I have to sign up to join?

Special I forgot tell you I LOVED the 10 reasons today! All are hilarious. Its bittersweet about the Oscar noms and Heaths been 1 year gone today. Glad he got nominated. Glad for this place at OMG Blog where the regulars agree, disagree, comment, give opinions with respect. The angry caustic others don't matter. here or in RL.

To be honest, the constant Jake-bashing was getting a bit too boring.

D, you have alot of hate going on inside you, don't you? Sorry about that.

You know what, tho? Love you still. Yeah, love you, love you. Here's a big ol' Kansas hug for you, I'm not kidding. Hey, glad it's entertaining for you, anyways.

Glad, too, that you can be so entertaining for Rattler. I'll stay off tonight just to give him a rest.

Love you D, love you, love you. :)

You know what I find most humorous about posters like D and his ilk? That they expend so much flinging about accusations like a drowning dairy cow under the false assumption that their words hold any importance or gravitas.

Foul wind is but foul breath, if I may evoke the Bard for a moment.

By the by, it is you, D - or Jack and UV or some other babbling harpie - that has wasted precious life minutes screeching against the OMG machine, not the opposite. So, pathetic belongs on your resume.

gay penguins in germany

Anonymous said...

No, we don't mean Tom Cruise or Wentworth Miller in a tux. The Bremerhaven Zoo in Germany has discovered that three penguin couples have turned out to be all male. Yes, there are gay penguins. Thinking that perhaps they would grow out of this phase, or there wasn't enough female penguin ass to go 'round, zookeepers planned to introduce some new female penguins into the gayborhood to jump start some reproduction.

Not so fast, a local gay group said, and protested "the organized and forced harassment through female seductresses" that the zoo was planning. Yes, they protested gay penguins' right to stay with their own sex.

Yep.

And it worked! "Everyone can live here as they please," the zoo director stated and announced that the female ex-gay ministry penguins would be going elsewhere. Perhaps to Jake Gyllenhaal's house. Reese wants them there.


Thanks peter. Last part is hilarious!

No Tom its all opinions here. Thats what a open blog is for, not a blind Nazi cheering section. Don't know why but when I saw those pics I saw Jake and his mom together and Reese as more tagalong or a show-up meet-you-there deal. Reese is pretty obstinate I hear and Naomi seems like the polite type who wouldn't cause a scene. Paps go to the farmers markets on weekdays to celeb spot so I don't think it was a PR op unless Reese called it in. She probably did as I remember her being the only one in the group looking camera ready. And wearing Jake's jacket was a nice touch. She's always bundled up even in 82 degree weather but she goes to a outside farmers market on a cold morning without a jacket. Uh huh.

I think Naomi and Jake were trapped into making it look like a comfortable outing. To me it was clear Jake was connecting with his mom with Reese not so much. Tom you can get mad but to me it looks like mom was stuck.

PG I like your posts even the nurseing home ones!

Last post for awhile. I swear.

Giminy's, Rattler, it wasn't an order, calm down. And there's no need for blog rage either by bolding.

You know, I don't need that kind of stuff. Have at it. And I'm not angry. Upset, yes. Angry, no. I just don't need to get into direct back & forth nastiness. I don't do it with my friends. I don't do it at work. And I'm not going to start on a blog where I haven't even met the person it's directed at. I won't do it.

You all enjoy the Dying Gaul discussion tomorrow & Saturday. I thought it was a really good movie & once again, Destiny, thanks for suggesting it.

Hey, Chris! (( ))

Anonymous said...

Thats right Special. I was the one doing all the running around with a list while Reese turned a simple outdoor grocery trip into a freakin photo op. WHY Jake had to mention that we were going there I have no idea. Didn't he figure out she was going to invite herself and show up? He knows it's not relaxing for anybody when she's around because she's so fucking domineering. Like the old plain canvas bag my mil brought. It wasn't basket-fancy-schmancy enough for Reese's photoshoot so she made me take it from Naomi so they could walk around carrying their stuff in clean and bright photogenic environment-killing plastic bags. Mama was pissed about the whole thing, the bag and Reese showing up but she didn't let it bother her. That Naomi is one classy lady. Another thing, there's some vegetables sold at that FM that are grown in Ojai, can't remember which ones. But Reese made a big deal about being papped in front of their stand with their sign and buying some. You know, PR. "You do me a favor and I'll scratch your back." The Ojai vegs are sold only to the L.A. Craft restaurant, you know the one where Reeke I mean Jake and his business partner Reese have gone. It's all a dirty little circle isn't it, all the back scratching. Glad I'm keeping out of it.

Special K said...

((PG)) Like Destiny said, hope you will be here the movie discussion. I know how excited you were about discussing it with all of us.

The one thing about OMG is that everyone can have a say, we don't always agree, sometimes there are ruffled feathers, we not all get along with each other all the time but I hope that everyone knows that each of them are important and that their contributions matter.

Florida Tom said...

Thanks Chris. I feel so bad being hard on Jake sometimes but man I just like to slap him upside his head. I guess I should expect anything. I am just not sure if we will ever see that happy cool guy we once knew.


PR Girl. You're the coolest!

Doesn't look like I am gonna be able to head down to DC Sat to watch Prayers for Bobby with Wicked and her very lovely family. Damn job! I got to work a full day Saturday. I asked her to DVR it cause I want to come and watch it with her. It wouldnt be any fun if I didn't. We can sit around and cry about the Eagles and the movie.

prairiegirl said...

Okay, calm head prevails. A couple episodes of Seinfeld (including the one where George Costanza becomes a hand model. LOLLLLL!!) and now a few episodes of ALF and it's all just totally ridiculous, anyways.

Tom, I was thinking the same thing. Where are you, Northeast???? Are you okay?
And where is my lovely friend, Kacie? Kacie, hope you aren't too embarrassed by my fits. I hate to let people down or disappoint. How is work going? Hope things are going okay for you.

And while we're on a roll, where is London? We have to have roll call sometimes, make sure everyone is okay. Maybe everybody is busy watching Dying Gaul. I want to tell you, Peter S. is very, very attractive in this movie. And I won't say anymore, Destiny! lol.
I'm dying, tho. I'm going to write my questions tonight while they're in my head. I finally sent back Candy to Netflix. I just can't watch it right now - I know it's not a happy movie and I don't want to see drugs right now. I'll watch it another time.

And Tom, you say all you want. It's a blog. And that means opinions & personal beliefs. I totally understand your frustration at times. You & I are alot alike in that way, you know that. ;)

I'm going to get off for awhile now. ALF kills me. I love his laugh.

Hi PG, Tom, Spesh, All -

I'm still here, a little subdued today. I'm OK, thanks for asking! Don't worry, I wouldn't have missed Heath's Oscar nom for the world! Fingers crossed that he'll win. Just a little under the weather myself this week; Spesh, sorry to hear you have the flu. Take care!

Looking forward to Prayers for Bobby this weekend, I think I'm going to see Benjamin Button too.

Very happy to see Heath's nomination for an Oscar. Woe be to any other actor who wins in his place. It just would not look good for them. Also happy about Milk/Sean Penn. I saw Penn interviewed the other day and it further reinforced how he became Harvey Milk. That said, I still will not watch the awards. I'll never forgive them for the BBM best pic fisco.

Perez Hilton was on Craig Ferguson. In the interview he said when you see stars in OK, Star or whatever rag, it is because they wanted to be there. It does not happen by accident.
