Polo Playahs?

Overheard at dinner in the Polo Lounge: (The OMG version)

Wow, that Bollywood actress. She was stunning wasn't she?

Yeah sure. I guess.

So Mr. Beatty, can you ask something?

Call me Warren kid, I like you. You remind me of my friend Monty. You're an actor you can make it look like you like anybody, even stone cold blondes. Look at me with Dunaway.

No no not that.

Kid I've seen your work off screen. Take some free advice, if you want anyone to believe you like you're a ladies man, you gotta at least look at them a little.

Mr. Bea..

Warren.

Mr. Beatty, I just want to ask you how you played a quarterback in the 70's. I gotta do this Namath movie, and wanted to get your advice.

You're Broadway Joe. Yeah you got the look kid, and you can do the dandy duds Joe liked, and think you can do the pantyhose thing, but you gotta lot a work to do...

Is it hard to make people think your a real quarterback?

Nah, that's easy, get a good technical advisor, and editing helps kid, get some kind of say in that. You know Joe was a lot of fun, fun fun guy. Always lots girls followed Joe. Man it was fun back then.

Mr. Beatty..

You know kid, I think your challenge isn't make people believe girls wanted to sleep with Joe, your hardest thing for you playing Joe, unlike real Joe, is that you want to sleep with them. Never had that problem myself.

Mr. Beatty...

Warren Listen kid I know you want to get into producing. It's a good thing, you get control of what goes on screen, you get to call the shots, and when you know something's good, Oscar answers. But for every Bugsy there's a Reds. Remember that kid.

Mr. Beatty...

Don't worry about the acting sister thing, it works.

Mr. Beatty....

What kid?


Could you help me with one more thing, someone very close to me loves Hal Ashby and I was wondering if you could help me get something cool from Shampoo for him.

Not going to bother arguing it's a set up. It is.

Come on, she wasn't getting any press in Philly. That' grocery store story says that.

She had to go see Jake if she wanted to get press.

She's sent the kids with the nannies before she could have sent them back to Ryan to start school.Ryan's got more experience growing up with his mom running a preschool.

v said...

If she wanted press in Philly she wouldn't be dodging and hiding her face from the one lone pap.

School starts this week and I think Ryan is in the middle of filming a movie in NM if i'm not mistaken that's why the kids were in Philly for most of the Summer.

Special K said...

Jake hasn't been in Philly in weeks, but People makes it look like he was.

• In Philadelphia to film her latest movie, Reese Witherspoon has carved out time for dinner with beau Jake Gyllenhaal at trendy restaurants around town. The two recently dined at Alma de Cuba together; they also ate at Morimoto where "nobody bothered them," a source says. During their meal, she ordered a house salad and sushi, while he opted for a salad and the hamachi ponzu. And the restaurant's owner, Stephen Starr, picked up their tab. According to the source, Witherspoon frequents Alma de Cuba and is "always very polite."

People

This must have been the Fauxmance edition of Couples Watch, look at who else got blurbs.

PR said...

Reese Witherspoon needs her gay marketing tool in order to get press.

Friday said...

Spotted: Ryan Phillippe in the bone long sleeve crew neck.

fyi said...

Ryan had the kids from late May until the last week of July. Then he seemed to spend some time hanging out with Abbie and started MacGruber in early August. Macgruber has to wrap before SNL starts. The kids start school tomorrow so Reese and Ryan are probably in LA. Maybe she'll stay there until he gets back from NM and then she'll return to Philly. The Philly pap knows nothing and is getting info from people working on the crew of Reese's movie.

?? said...

What was Jake doing with the kids on Friday in L.A. if Ryan was in L.A? And I thought Ryan was supposed to have the kids for the Summer? Well he did for June and for one week in July in Philly but from then until now they have been in Philly, odd unless the movie was a last minute thing.

Maybe Ryan had the kids all last week but Reese had them for the weekend and since school starts it would make no sense to fly them back to Philly.

Sk, why do you even bother posting People crap? Who cares what they want people to think.

Special K said...

I think it is interesting how People plays their spin. It is very interesting and give more insight into the bigger picture. The evolution of this spinmance is interesting. What mags get used for what, what blogs do what - ex JJ, and the timing.

Sometimes you have to look broader to find the smaller, details that is.



It was one tweet about Jake with the kids. And honestly I think that might have been planted to set up the weekend, without the obvious Reese is back in LA.

m said...

I like seeing what is being said publicly, like in People, just to keep up to date with the hype. People who claim to have the inside info re Reeke's schedule are just posting their best guess and hoping it sticks. Jake most likely spent his time with Austin, both being in LA. Notice we barely saw Jake at all. I think the boys had to do some catching up behind closed doors. Then he reported back to work for some cover up.

fyi said...

?? Ryan didn't leave the kids in Philly until 7/27. They got out of school 6/1. Then he signed to do a movie that had an immediate start date so August the kids went to Philly. I don't think TR ever said he had them for the whole summer just that the custody this year consisted of long chunks of time with one parent then the other because of their work schedules.

t said...

What was Jake doing with the kids on Friday in L.A. if Ryan was in L.A?

Nothing.

No need to believe every tweet or sighting.

Dear Divine Intervention:
Austin's not Nevis—he wishes he were as popular in the mainstream as ND! Must be what he's hoping for by clinging onto his costars for some press.

Jake out at Pinkberry in Little Tokyo (LA)

Great description:
Adorable Jake Gyllenhaal swirled into our Little Tokyo store this weekend.

How do you swirl in? : )

Sterotypes are fun! said...

I don't know SK, you know how gay men like to swirl and fuck 24/7 and bitch and gossip!

You need to stop acting like a overheated, jealous fangirl evertime you see/here about Jake solo or with Reese and or her kids, ain't healthy. The paranoia and the bittterness is no longer funny, just plain sad.

PS: It's funny how you will believe an anon. person on Spooky's site saying Austin was in L.A. on Friday, but dismiss tweets as plants. The Austin sighting wasn't even a tweet, just a comment on the Spooky site that was conviently linked to the OTH forum.

According to someone on the forum, Sophia went to L.A. to attend a friends wedding, no mention of Austin going and the pap pics of Sophia are of her solo.

Methinks Austin stayed in NC until I see actual pics.

Special K said...

Interesting about AT.

Makes you think that maybe Austin wants Jake to get a little jealous. Some say they are tumultuous, but I think they are more passionate, and maybe that thought of someone even looking at his man, is what Austin wants to stir in Jake.

I do think that Austin is ambitious and see that he has to make the most of every opportunity he has for his acting and exposure.

silly trolls said...

"Sterotypes are fun!",

Hi troll!

Still don't like when Austin and Jake are in the same city and solo Jake sightings? I'm sure going back to GB will do you good. lol

monk said...

It's only Chica, who cares.

Excellent post, SK.

prairiegirl said...

oooh, I like your thinking, Special.

Cheez it's are about gone, did a a tiny bit of writing on my lunch hour and now it's back to the saltmines.

Where is Destiny, I ask? Destiny?????

Special jealous? ha!! I have to laugh at that, I'm sorry. Someone has no idea, no idea at all. Yes, they do get nervous, don't they. I think it's hilarious.

Okay, I need to go back to work. :(

destiny said...

Hey, just got back from vacation on a red-wye this morning, and I'm sitting here at work struggling to keep the eyes open. I need some time to catch up before commenting on anything.

? said...

I don't want to give any credence to a troll, but what exactly is the source for Austin being in LA? Is it really just that one anonymous comment from someone on Spooky's livejournal?

sienna said...

i looked at the pinkberry pic. it was a cute pic overall, and certainly sweet of him to pose with that lady, etc.

however, does anyone else think he doesn't look too hot?

i know he's just out running errands or whatever, but he used to always look so yummy, in every picture. maybe his face has just changed a little with age, his hair is a tad different, he looks kinda skinny or something... i don't know. i just know that if i had never been nutso over him, and i looked at him now, i'd just go, "oh, ok," and keep on going. i don't think i'd even give him a second look, and i've felt that way about almost all of the recent pictures.

do ya'll see it too, or am i having eye problems. and just to avoid any ick arguments, this has nothing to do with reese or expectations or any of that stuff. it's just a comment about his current and recent personal appearance.

hugs. s.

sienna said...

me again... i did say he looked perfect in his recent beach pic, and his body did look great, but someone else commented on how he looked kinda Dadish, and i agreed with that, and he certainly didn't look as gorgeous from the shoulders up as he used to. i think it's the hair and the funky sunglasses, and i don't like the hats he's favoring now, but in the pinkberry pic he's not wearing a hat and he still looks almost sickly to me.

ok. will wait for responses. s.

babbler's logic said...

Put it in Reeke thread. He'd never go out without Reese if she's home. People might think they're not real. THEY'RE REAL PEOPLE. HE'S NOT GAY.

m said...

babbler logic's statement makes no sense what so ever. no clue what they are trying to say. If anyone can translate it, let me know.

prairiegirl said...

hey, Sienna! Say, what is dadish? I googled that word but couldn't get what it means.

I think he looks pretty pleasant in that picture; a little scruffy, yeah. You know, for me, I can't really tell with him anymore? He's aged quite a bit, whereas Austin has matured & morphed. It's my opinion that all the stress of the past 3 years has really taken a physical toll on him.

But then, there have been a few pictures (the biking pictures and a few others) where he looks pretty young still. I think the biking pictures is where he has looked like Jake of old. He looked great at the Golden Globes but his seeming lack of self confidence detracted from it and made him look like a cute little boy.

Those pics this morning on IHJ were awful. Not even worth commenting on and I'm not going any further on them because they were such a clock punch.

I can't believe I remember that OTH is on and I am home to watch it. And it's the wedding episode which I've seen already several times! Why couldn't it be the one where Julian leaves for L.A.? I've never seen that one. Rats!

Special K said...

Sienna, Jake looks like he's gotten some color since the Vineyard. (I was the one who said he looked like the Hot Dad on the beach) He looks thinner. For the next movie? Or from chasing little tiles?

I'm waiting to see what they are going to do for his hair for Love & Drugs. Most pharma reps are really clean cut, and the guy who Jake is portraying was former US Army too. Short and tight maybe?

Florida Tom said...

Barney Frank for Senator.

Ur right Sienna Jake is not as cute as he used to be while Austin has become a God. Jake is def not in Austins league anymore.

Who the heck cares about reese and her kids and why do we dicuss them here. May I suggest that those who do go somewhere else. Its annoying to have to come home and read about them. I dont care what the witherspoons schedule is. I dont care when those kids go back to school.

Florida Tom said...

It was actually nice just to see a picture of Jake himself in a magazine today. I am not even sure which one but I saw it at work today. He looked pretty good in those recent beach pics. Plus I liked the bathing suit.

I hate Fake. I love Jake.

Special K said...

Clicked on the babbler thing. Looks like who posted is poking fun that UV tried to post the picture of Jake out by himself at Pinkberry in the J&R in Venice thread and Steph called her on it. They can't have Jake out without Reese it messes up the whole thing.

destiny said...

I thought I'd be passed out by now, but I got a second wind after struggling all day.

I take the anonymous post at Spooky's about Sophia and Austin with a rock-sized grain of salt. Seems like he's been on the road a lot, so you gotta wonder, when does he film OTH??

Jake looks okay physically in that Pinkberry picture, but as so often seems to be the case, something looks off. No spark. I think Jake is one of those people that can look good or not so good depending upon the light, the angle, etc. , but I think that has been easy to overlook because of what came through from inside him. It is a rare day when we see Jake exuding happiness, confidence, joy, etc. Jake can't fake that, that is why Reeke has been so bad for him.

I don't think Steph has a problem with Jake on his own. I just took that whole exchange as wanting to have people post in the appropriate thread. Maybe she didn't want people being subjected to Reeke just to see the new photo. :-D

Special K said...

It's not that Steph has problem with Jake on his own. I think UV has a problem with Jake on his own. And I think Steph was trying to distinguish that Jake at the Pinkberry was not the same day or time. You know general convention rules, or like you said Destiny (hope you had good time on vaca), didn't want people to be subjected to see the new photo of him.

?? said...

I checked that thread on IHJ and Stephanie didn't call out UV for posting that pic in the J&R thread, she hasn't responded at all to it unless i'm missing something. There are only 2 comments after UV posted and asked Stephanie if it was ok and one thanked UV for the pic. The J&R pics were taken 8/31 and the pinkberry pic just said this weekend, according to a tweet, Reese was still in Philly on Saturday morning at least.

The pinkberry pic is posted on the front page, top on GB, don't think there is a problem.

?? said...

I went back to the thread,Was that whole exchange deleted on IHJ?? What are you looking/referring to SK and destiny?

sienna said...

PG: dadish means dad - like. he looks like someone's dad. Spesh said that about the beach pics and it hit home with me because even tho he looked good in those pics, he looked odd too, and that description kinda fit. he looked cute, but like he oughta have a couple of rugrats running around. (blech. i'm not a kid person.)

tom, i'm with you, i could do without the discussion about reese's kids 100% but some folks like to consider that in the big scheme of the drama, so whenever i realize thats the topic of the post, i just zoom on by. like austin - i've never been a fan of his or a fan of jaustin, so i skim a lot of those posts too. they may or may not be an item, but my main interest is in jake, and jake finally breaking free from reese. so those are the posts i focus on the most.

is Love and Other Drugs his next movie project? it sounds interesting. it sure would help if he ditched the accessory soon. :/

m said...

I agree, Jake's looks are in decline, Austin's on the incline. Stress, takes years off + Jake has lost that glow from within he used to sport. Reeke has it on dimmer.

Again with the Buckley/Austin talk. Wonder what kind of chemistry they will display on OTH. The only reason it does not bother me is that I think its good for Jake to be jealous.

Sophia & Austin supposedly at Sophia's friends wedding

http://i25.tinypic.com/2iiwmj9.png


Photo doesn't look convincing.

prairiegirl said...

Real quick - you can't anonymous on here or your comment will get deleted. Not a hostile gesture at all, just that you need to use some kind of a name. Just don't want to lose your comments due to that minor detail!

Gosh, I can hardly type right now because my hands haven't warmed up yet. It's downright cold this morning.

You're right, hmm, that looks like a bad case of photoshopping. I'm not saying it couldn't have been a real event, but that picture looks fake. I don't see the continuation of Austin's left shoulder into Sophia. It kind of drops off or something.

LOL, that's kind of a goofy look on Austin's face. What's the matter with him? I like Sophia's dress, though.

I agree that once you're a parent, alot of times you can (maybe all the time depending on your daily schedule) look ragged.

But not all the time. And not with nannies around to take care of the kids while you're out doing coffee runs, shopping, and romantic strolls. Isn't that the purpose of the nanny? To take care of all those stressful events that the parent doesn't have the time for? Running the kids to school, getting them dressed, running them to their athletic events? As much as Jake's been traveling in the past 3 years, particularly out of the country, I don't understand how he could look so rough & college dorm-ish all the time with a nanny taking care of a child.

That's the reason why I don't totally buy that explanation. Not that it couldn't explain it once in awhile.

And look at Austin. He doesn't look that way at all. Or else Austin totally knows how to handle a kid and Jake doesn't, lol.

We're celebrating the super's birthday today. Since she's been on Weight Watchers, we're having a BIG SALAD. That's a BIG salad. I'm bringing ham, salad dressing, garden tomatoes, and I picked up a jar of sunflower seeds.
Sorry, but no diet dressing from this donator. If there's one thing I don't skimp on, it's the dressing. Good thing she has a huge stash of half empty dressing bottles in that fridge. One of the ones I picked up is by Girard's. It was called Greek Feta Vignarette. Man, does that one sound good.

Dear Awful Truth:
Sophia Bush and One Tree Hill are my secret obsessions, and lately there have been rumors flying around that Sophia and Austin Nichols are back on, but um...isn't Austin gay? Can you tell me if their relationship is more than just platonic? As a fan of both Lipstick Jungle and Privileged, I'd rather see her and Robert Buckley dating. Do you think that could happen in the future?
—Seagull

Dear One Tree Homo:
First, let me say that our really sharp readers will get a kick out of this one. And second, the Austin-Sophia stuff is only temporary, because if there is such a thing as divine intervention, it would in fact pull Sophia and abtastic Robert together.

Dear Awful Truth:
I have a suggestion to properly name the Austin Nichols/Robert Buckley bromance. Robstin gets too confused with Robsten, so how about renaming them Robin? If we are going to hear a lot about this hot pair, then we'll have to have them properly identified. Is Sophia Bush Shafterella Shoshstein?
—Celine

Dear Done With One:
To be honest, I don't anticipate us ever talking about Austin/Rob again beyond a Bitch-Back or two—fellas just don't have much of a gossip-worthy shelf life, methinks. And no, Soph isn't nearly on the same level of stardom as S2, but she is just as sweet looking.

destiny said...

Interesting about the divine intervention/Ned Divine mentions.

I don't recall ever hearing anything about Quinto and a figurative beard, so I'm guessing that is partly what Ted means about one of the guesses being wrong wrong wrong. Wrong on who it is, wrong on the beard. So does that make Pine a candidate?

No way of knowing if that photo of Sophia and Austin is real. But going to a wedding doesn't mean anything. If she's not dating anyone and wants to take someone, why not a good friend like Austin.

cfkef said...

"It is not Sophia/Austin vs Sophia/Robert, but Sophin vs Robsten. Is Austin Nichols Nevis Divine?"
IMO it's more of a Nevis Divine hint - that he is Robert Pattinson (since Robsten = Pattinson+Stewart). "Robsten" doesn't have to be a typo.

posted on WFT2 said...

This question was below the Austin/Robert one that compares the name Robstin with Robsten:


Dear Awful Truth:
Do Robert Buckley and Robert Pattinson share something in common (aside from both being amazingly gorgeous)?
—Tiger

Dear Patt the Buck:
Oh, they share plenty in common. The name Robert, for one. Ooh, how scandalous!


Could it mean that what they both have in common is: an affair with a co-star, and the reference to the name is not their own name but their joint name ROBSTIN/ROBSTEN.

how about said...

Both are gay.

ted said...

I think there are too many references to Austin/Robert to be just a hint to them being both gay. They’ve been mentioned every day for weeks! They are always mentioned as a pair and with a joint name. I think Ted is implying they are involved.

Special K said...

"To be honest, I don't anticipate us ever talking about Austin/Rob again beyond a Bitch-Back or two—fellas just don't have much of a gossip-worthy shelf life, methinks."

I know some people want to see Austin hook up with anyone but Jake. But I think but the speculation to rest with this answer.

Back to working on the new post.

m said...

Not only has AT mentioned Austin/Robert a lot, but its usually near a mention of Toothy as well. There has to be something more to it. We'll see soon enough I guess. Ted is back in one more week.

I finally got around to looking closely at the latest Reeke drink pics. I had just sort of scanned them before. They have minor smiles on their faces while walking apart. As soon as they touch hands, all the smiles disappear and they both look constipated. I think the friendship is strained again. Maybe talk of Austin exploring other interests is getting to Jake. Resentment at his showmance obligations.

destiny said...

Interesting observation M. I'm glad someone has the stomach to look at Reeke pictures that closely.

For what it's worth, Z. Quinto is widely thought to be No-Beave Steve of a recent Ted blind item.
