What a Feeling!

Before Jake is just a memory in Pittsburgh.

Did you really think I wouldn't?

Just a steel town girl on a Saturday night,
lookin' for the fight of her life
In the real-time world no one sees her at all,
they all say she's crazy
....
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before


With the yoga and parkour training this is easy.


And he's done dance, and hip hop.



He knows how to make things hard as steel working Pittsburgh.



And that memorable seduction in the restaurant wearing a tux eating a lobster and a little footsie?


Game : Plenty of lobster experience for a guy who spent summers on the Vineyard

Set :

Match : "Out for a romantic dinner at Jar last night, spied dreamy-eyed boat of dreamboat dreams Jake Gyllenhaal dining with Official Jake Gyllenhaal BFF Austin Nichols. Couldn't see what Jake was eating, even through my finest set of opera glasses, but he sat slumped enough in his seat that I momentarily suspected he was being served his meal from under the table" Defamer


Hey it is just like a movie. Getting the tall guy with the curls, the dog and a Porsche in Pittsburgh.

Speaking of tall and handsome.

Tonight on the Crazy Tree. Brooke Davis(TM) is pushed to the limit.(Credit? Speed? Fashion?) Nathan and The Real Housewife of Tree Hill’s careers bring tough decisions for the family,(why not make a tough decision about that hideous hat and hair combo ?) Julian plays a I Gotta Secret with Alex that leads to a confrontation with Brooke Davis(TM), wear a cup Julian, wait it doesn't matter anymore she's already got 'em. Meanwhile, Feats of Clay tries to resuscitate his career as an agent by wearing a suit, Jamie learns the truth about Skills’ new job in LA (exit stage left). And a fresh-from-jail Millie finds an unlikely supporter (when she really needs a sponsor)in Victoria.

OTH News:
Australian actor Mitch Ryan will be joining One Tree Hill this season with a recurring role as Alexander, a handsome pro surfer-turned-young mogul.


Oh come on you know there's going to be a some JFC stuff thrown around. But what lines ? "I got my eye on you"? "I don't know Butchie instead"? "See God" Brooke? "I'm going to bone" Alex? "Whipping the Skippy?" Or is Julian going to whip off the shirt and compare his stick to Alexander's to see who's going to rule the waves of Tree Hill?

I wish I could look at that vid.

There are no pictures or video - just our "story".

prairiegirl said...

Wow, hard to believe filming in Pittsburgh is about to wrap. Seems like it just started. That movie sure didn't take long to film - kind of like how some of our new houses go up around here, lol.

Well, something's up. Just hard to tell what exactly. LOL - even on a break up, I'm swaying back & forth like a carnival ride. snicker. Interesting this x17 video rumor, fake as it is. Why else would you do this? What??!! It's a rumor? A video website only has a rumor? LOL, now what is up with that? That's funny.

Man, if it's all part of the game to back up a fake break up, how absolutely lame would that be?

Because funny how a comment has been made on here how odd it is that these 2 have not had a "public" spat in their entire 3 years of "being together". Everything has been absolutely peachy keen. And how utterly unbelievable that is.

So, OTH is on tonight? And is it going up against the 25 Days of Christmas?

My big buddy next door to me is eating his tenderloin that he got from this little deli in the next town. He got lost going there & called my super on her cell while she was at the local Price Chopper grocery store. "I'm lost! I'm lost! And I'm starving!"

lol. He went way too far and ended up on the other side of town.

He cracks me up!!

Our thermostat was set at 65 degrees this morning!!! I was freezing!! So I pushed it up to 69 and then my super said it was hot in here. So back down it went to 67. No one is ever happy with the temp in here.

prairiegirl said...

Well, until we see the fruition of this whole escapade, in the meantime, it cracks me up to see that Tiger Woods is dominating the news. And isn't that an interesting situation, btw.

But everytime there's news on Reeke, a bigger story always happens at the exact same time. I mean, this supposed split took place and was People's top headline and it wasn't a couple hours later and Tiger Woods supplants their spot and R & J were relegated down below on the page.

Well, guess I'm going to have to get off. My super says she needs my help so I guess my lunch is up. That's what I get for lunching at my desk. You're fair game. I dislike that pretty intensely.

Well I have my Jake /men fantasy too but not with Chris, he is more a childwood best friend I think.

^^ and you know this to be a FACT?
Were you with them every waking day they were together doing their teenage years. They could have painted each others toenails then had sex with the town slut while Chris cooked shrimp and Jake made Pasta. Sure, they are friends, but you don't know what they did years ago.

Tell yourself something then beleive it. Oh, it's True because I said it. WoW

The how do you know troll shows up like clockwork. What would we do without them.

Teenagers experiment sexually, and have hormones off the chart. No further proof needed.

The new guy on OTH looks hot. At least that keeps us interested. Plot not necessary.

This break up did get Reese back on the front page version of the internet so it paid off for her that way. I think a bigger price to pay will follow though. Ted said Jake's friends had a heart to heart with him about her a while back. Then the pictures dried up. Now she has only further revealed herself. The planned breakup may be the reason Atticus went along to the film shoot.

Ent Lawyer said...

Lets Talk Jake & Reese

Over the weekend there were reports in Kneepads that Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon had ended their "relationship." One thing Kneepads has going for it is they are extremely accurate especially when reporting breakups. They don't like to make anyone mad and so they probably had about ten sources for the story. Well, later in the weekend the reps for both Reese & Jake said the story isn't true and are still very much a couple. Uh huh.

I'm a little slow today, but I can't remember the last time I saw reps rushing out and saying that a couple was still a couple. Usually they don't care enough to respond. Why is this time different? Why is this couple different? Now, as you may recall, Jake has a new movie coming out. Prince Of Persia or something like that which is supposed to do a lot of business. Now, does he get more publicity by trotting out Reese again for another publicity tour or does he get more by breaking up and finding someone new just in time for the press tour? By saying they are still a couple then there really is no drama or zing it is just the same old same old.

Has anyone seen them together lately? I don't specifically go looking for pictures of them together and every picture I have seen of Reese she was flying solo. I think they did something on Halloween together, but prior to that it had been awhile as well. I am trying to figure out the angle here, but I can't. Any ideas?

crazy days and nights

Ted said...

Reese and Jake discovered each other's vices?

friendship said...

"^^ and you know this to be a FACT?"

No of course! I don't pretend to know the truth it's just my opinion.

Alice in Wonderland said...

Curious and curiouser - I just don't know how this can help promote a film, if it is PR for that.

I do find it really difficult to believe that People wouldn't have checked sources - I'm sure they err on the side of being conservative. Rushing for a scoop if untrue could be costly? I don't know, JMO.

It does seem like it's been going on for centuries, Ted. I don't dislike Reese, actually I quite like her, and adore Jake. I have know way of knowing if she's a HW pirhanna or not, I hope not. I'd like to see her in more films. But it's better to be true and real, and not have to play HW games. It all may be part of movie promotion tho. :)

The how do you know troll shows up like clockwork. What would we do without them.

Teenagers experiment sexually, and have hormones off the chart. No further proof needed.

^ first off, reading comprehension would really work for you M. I questioned the poster who adamantly stated that Chris was "just" a childhood freind. Maybe in your life proof or facts are not needed, but for most thinking people it helps. I also think Jake and Chirs got busy with their hormones. Like clockwork the name calling starts with you and others who are not begging Ted for info or making all type of excuses for the lack of JaKE AND Austin pictures. Then get frustrated when anyone think that Jake just possibly could be interested in anyone besides Austin Nichols. What would you and your babbler calling trolls do if Jake and Chris were an item in the past, or began to hang out again do? Or, if Jake date Anne H? The hate and bittersness would switch to all the above names while still waiting for the perfect love of Jake and Austin. Very Childish.

People has started the either the backpeddling or the beginning of the break up -

Reese and Jake's Ups and Downs

Witherspoon, 33, told close friends around Thanksgiving that she and Gyllenhall, also 33, had broken up, says the source. She was seen driving alone in Los Angeles over the weekend, then on Sunday she was spotted at the Whiskey Kitchen in Nashville – without Gyllenhaal.

As a couple, the last time they were seen together was two weeks ago, when they spent time in Philadelphia (where Reese is shooting a yet-to-be-titled movie with Oscar-winning director James L. Brooks) and in Pittsburgh (where Jake is shooting his new movie, Love and Other Drugs).



First lets count the mistakes - Jake is 28 not 33. Reese has been in LA for more than two weeks. Have there been any reports of Jake in Philadelphia since Love and Drugs started? I mean tweets from NY but Philly?

Of course they go to the Jake wanted to marry, Reese is reluctant angle.

Ugly bad patch job and the copy editor should be yelled at, just for missing the age thing alone.

maybe said...

I have the impression ( maybe wrong) People had to justify the late break up story.

huh? said...

Isn't it People mag that's supposed to be the publication that get their facts correct? What a mess.

Kneepads said...

The pair first met on the Morocco set of the movie Rendition in 2006. "Jake went and introduced himself to Reese," a source close to both told PEOPLE.

LOL, no one wants to waste time on checking Reeke bullshits.

Overbearing said...

Say what you will, People got their facts wrong, didn't check them, etc., but they got the pic right. That's one of my favorites of them - Jake is front and center, and they way he's dressed, French cuffs, and holding her hand like he means it, one of the few good pics I have seen, personally.

"While the precise status of the Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal relationship remains unclear ..."

Special K said...

The X17 thing is really interesting. Especially publishing something like that when they have been such a "friend" for pictures, obviously they posted without the ok.

Jake's assistant, if true, going to the house to pick up stuff, when Reese is out of town. Is it a return to her volley?

I wonder if there is a real War of the Roses that is going on behind the scenes. I think both can create a sizable hissy they want to.

Who wins the Hissy Round Tiny Dancer? or Flashdance? I think Flashdance could take her on this one.

Let's get ready to rummmmmble!

Jim Sheridan's Interview with Dark Horizon

One little snippet

Question: As an Irish filmmaker, do you give a different perspective to a film that deals with some very purely American issues?

Sheridan: I think so. I think what starts to happen is, the Irish family structure starts to come into it, and how it impacts on American life. I kind of just wrote my own bits where it was me, with Sam Shepard and Jake – it was almost like my own Dad and me, although I’m the eldest in my family. So for me, it was a way of exploring brothers’ relationships, and the Cain and Abel story,

Dear Three's a Crowd:
Maybe he's just happy to have his bike buddy back?

m said...

I give him a few days, as the story just broke, but the one to eventually get the real scoop as to what happened is Ted. He is a gossip columnist and probably has good contacts with his fellow peers.

What stands out loud and clear though is that everyone thinks the whole thing reeks, literally. The contract ex date was already out there as having been renewed, so I dont think money is the issue, although Reese can't pull down the bucks like she used to. Someone being punished for not behaving as they should is more likely.

Reese Won't Give Jakey The Fairytale Wedding He's Always Dreamed Of

Yesterday afternoon, People Magazine sang from the mountain tops that Jakey had slipped on his favorite tutu (the purple one with pink butterflies on it) and pirouetted out of Reese's life forever. A few hours later, Reese's spokesbitch cursed People's name for fucking with his weekend and a denial was issued. Well, now People is saying that their source swore on a stack of Sexiest Man Alive covers that Reese told her friends they had broken up.

The source added that the two have broken up a few times over the years. The main issue is that Jakey is ready to walk down the aisle with a lace veil over his head and a fancy bouquet in his purdy hands, but Reese is farting on that idea. The source went on to say, "As much as everyone thinks they're right there, they're really not near the whole marriage thing. Jake would marry her tomorrow, but Reese doesn't want to go there yet, even though he would like to. There's a huge attraction between them, and they've becomes a team, partners, but Jake can be a little overbearing at times, and Reese is really happy with life right now. Why screw that up or change a good thing?"

Reese could buy a small country with just one of her paychecks, so my guess is that she's not about to let anyone creep in on her money. Smart move. And Jakey only wants to get married because he wants a reason for bitches to throw glitter (no rice or bird seed for him) at him while he makes his way out of the church. I have a solution.

One of my friends didn't have a quinceanera, because her mother was in jail at the time (it's okay to laugh). So when she was in her 20s, she threw herself a belated quinceanera complete with the big white dress, the rhinestone tiara and mariachis. It was a mess, but thankfully there was an open Corona bar.

So my solution is that Jakey should throw himself a belated quince, so he can get the white doves and the choreographed dances he's been dreaming of. And Reese won't have to put a wedding ring on her finger. Problem solved!

Special K said...

Meg - I agree. You gotta love Ted.

Dear Yes and No:
I'm not expecting any kind of announcement from these two. But I'm hardly surprised, these two have way too many secrets.

Dear Digging for Clues:

Notice the comma after "or lust". Why is that? LOL, man, Ted drives me nuts. So who's the girlfriend?

That whole question is bizarre. It's totally messed up. In that question, Sam says a positive. "Is his beard" instead of saying "Is his gf really a beard?". They contradict themselves right away with "is his beard really a beard".

LOL - that makes absolutely no sense! That sentence is cracked.

msnbc said...

The breakup rumors swirling around Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon are still going strong despite a matching set of denials from the couple’s camps.

By Sunday afternoon, reps for both stars dashed reports claiming the pair recently went their separate ways, but according to X17 Online, suspicious activity at Witherspoon’s Brentwood, California home later that night renewed the rumors.

Paparazzi working for the gossip and celebrity photo site allegedly spotted Gyllenhaal’s assistant enter Witherspoon’s residence Sunday evening and exit just 15 minutes later carrying luggage. The assistant was then seen delivering the luggage to Gyllenhaal’s home. “(Gyllenhaal’s assistant) looked like she had a job to do,” one lensman said. “She was in and out very quickly, and she had two bags with her in the car when she left.”

Of course, the peeping paps didn’t see the contents of the cases, so fans may never know if the luggage contained the usual breakup-confirming CDs, sleep-Ts and toothbrushes.

prairiegirl said...

lol. Man, I can't believe the mileage they are getting out of this phonier-than-a-three dollar bill story by x17.

You have got to seriously be kidding me. How set up & contrived is that thing?? It's so elementary & transparent, it might as well be written on tracing paper! LOLLLL.

Okay, for one thing, they can forget me believing that he ever lived there. Secondly, this is so funny. Just say this was any Joe Blow Celeb. How on earth is his assistant going to pack up all his stuff in 15 minutes? And how impersonal is that anyway? To send your PA to your gf's house to pack up your stuff and take it to your home?? Man, how bad does that make Reese look? Maybe that was a dig from Jake to have that bit made up.

LOLLL. It's comical. It's so fabricated & obvious, it's like Wheel of Fortune with only one square left blank.

PG: i'm with you. i can't believe they even had the nerve to print that story, esp without pics, considering no reporter would be there without a camera. and it's so juvenile. this is like something we'd read about LiLo or some of those The Hills girls maybe, but not folks like reese and jake. i'm wondering about the source & the motive behind it. it wouldn't be surprised if some drama didn't finally spring out of the world's most boring non-couple. :)

It's something, that's for sure. It's really surprising and you're right, not what I would expect from either one of them.

Spoiler for OTH









Julian and Brooke on break? Does that mean Julian will get to do something but apologize to Brooke or go somewhere besides where Brooke goes? And Alex, whoa. Looks like Julian's storyline is getting a bit more involved.

m said...

Many topics to cover. First OTH. Did every single woman in this episode cry about something? Oh, wait, maybe not the schoolteacher. A total bore and I am getting sick of Brulian. They need to break up.

PG, lots of slash updates today. Yes, I did read quicksilver but I could not tell you a thing about it until I look at it again. I printed the update, along with a ton of others, to read. I do remember that I liked it. On chat, someone mentioned a story called Lessons Learned so I read it last night. As usual could not put it down. Really good.

Most of my earlier comments were from work so I was sneaking them in. I see Ted finally weighed in and practically names Jake as Toothy to boot. Toothy is the grand marshal of vices. I expect Ted will say more as the week progresses.

Whether this event was planned or an accident, it was PR fiasco and I cant imagine the Brothers people are happy that it detracts from their serious film. I still expect to see a management change to follow.

Makes sense to me that Jake would have a bag or two stashed at Reese's for show. And I am sure it was packed and waiting for the flack to pick it up when they got there. Two bags is not living there, just stopping by. I'm guessing it was shoes.

sienna said...

m...

maybe it was his half of all their matching outfits! :)

sienna said...

regarding the announcement in general... i was thinking about it on my way home from work.

mix-ups happen, but no matter what we think about RW, she is probably a pretty important client to whoever is repping her, and we know that friends are never the source of anything, right?

so the idea that this is just a goof-up is semi-believable, but not really, because of who it is. reese is very concientious of her image and very intolerant of boo-boos (if she's anything like people say). i just have a hard time believing this was an early jump on a planned announcement that was supposed to come out, say, then end of december instead of the end of november. maybe, but i dunno. that's a big name they just bobbled, and if anything gets f'd up in the process, she could be outed as being a fraud, and that would not go down well with her or with Disney.

when i first read on my lj friends page that they had split, after my initial moment of glee, my immediate long-term reaction was - it can't be this easy. and sure enuf, within a couple of hours, the story was changed, it was all a mistake, etc.

but then, based on the last People report i read here, it sounds to me like P is sticking by their source. they aren't saying that it's for sure over, but they are saying that they for sure got told that, and give reasons why it might be so.

which makes me wonder if the whole announce/take back silliness is not part of the strategy to make it more interesting and dramatic, and also to deflect attention from the fact that it was just a lot of hot air and coffee in the first place.

if they are going back and forth and unsure and no one can get the story straight, etc, it keeps them in the news much longer than if they just said, R&J have decided to call it quits due to the stresses of work and travel, etc. if they just wanted to walk away quietly and PRIVATELY with NO FANFARE from a romance gone wrong, that is what they would say, imo.

the fact that they are immediately stringing us along with these guessing games - saying they are still together altho we have no reason to believe it - makes me think the whole thing is a scheme to milk it for every ounce of white space as long as they can.

what say ya'll?

destiny said...

Totally agree with your take on this Sienna. Trying to make what was never real look real--by HW tabloid/pr terms, anyway. Still cannot believe Jake stoops to such nonsense.

Love the cracks about the matching outfits and luggage full of shoes.

monk said...

My reaction was much the same as yours - a break-up will mean Jake doesn't have to talk about Reese during Brothers promo - and maybe makes Jake look as edgy as his Brothers character. I expect them to be on again before PoP promotion.

X17 fiction said...

Makes sense to me that Jake would have a bag or two stashed at Reese's for show.

Jake doesn't have anything stashed at Reese's, paparazzi agency X17 has no pictures, they made all up just to report some "news".

Kacie said...

Sienna, I have to agree with you
also! This is in just one word-a
MESS! I am almost 100% positive that Jake will never answer any personal questions about his private life other than his movie
career, his dogs, acting, etc. It
is funny to me though that his
representative denied it so quickly. Hello, Prairie Girl.
Special K, have you decided when
in December that you are going to
have another cooking corner? What
about some Thursday and Friday?

hopeful tb said...

OT: I finally got a copy of The Informers and have to say that I really enjoyed the film. Not so much the ending but the film in general was powerful. It looked beautiful and fine acting all around. And I'm obviously not objective but Austin was the best part of the film. His character must have been fun to play. So my question is, has the film already been discussed here and if so, could someone tell me what month/year? I started going through the archives but realised I always end up reading old discussions for hours.

charybdis said...

Sienna,

I like your theory a lot; I had slowly been mentally groping towards something similar. They're launching the breakup news with enough message confusion to make it seem "real." I suppose they're also giving time for the remaining few fans who have invested in Reeke to get used to the idea that it is over.

This does make it easier for Jake not to answer relationship questions while he's doing Brothers promo (I have a sneaking suspicion that he wouldn't have given the most convincing answers). Remember his old jokes about Reese and her beard?

Reese The Beard Witherspoon said...

Q: What qualities do you admire in Reese, as a person and an actress?

Jake Gyllenhaal: She can grow a mean beard, that’s for sure (laughter)! I don’t know if you’ve seen her beard — it’s amazing!

Porcine said...

I like Reese she’s a good actress and Ryan is an idiot for cheating. Hope he’s miserable with that current fling of his……that’s a homewrecker. Reese and Jake are such an adorable couple and Jake is a great father figure.

prairiegirl said...

Hi charbydis, I agree with you. Everyone was waiting to hear what he was going to say and now look. I am still waiting to see how he is/would answer to this whole thing. My best guess is he cannot pull it off.

Sienna, agree too with what you said. It's looking alot clearer (at least right now, lol) to me after you put it that way. Just the fact that they got DListed, People, US Magazine, and now MSNBC stirred up & twirling around and to see Ted's laizzes faire (sp?) reaction tells me, too that this is all planned. You're right. Reese is one sharp cookie. There's not going to be no snafu here.

And either Jake is as devious as she is or just like he can't face the press about Reeke, he lets himself be guided around by the hand on something like this. And he's not that stupid, come on. He's in on it. Jakey is not as innocent & nice as he has led to believe. I'm sorry, but he's not.

Now, I'm not starting a "trash" thread. I will be the first one to try a cartwheel once this thing is over. But I'm just saying that a spade needs to be called a spade. And Jake has pulled a 900 thread count wool (LOL - does wool come in thread count? probably not) over all of his fans' eyes.

This whole break up is as calculatedly conceived & planned as the entire lead up start to the Knots Landing version of what is Reeke. But instead of being a prime example for a Bearding 101 Class, it's a prime example of How Not to Beard. They ought to write a book on it & use it as a classic, go-to guidebook on How Not To Do It.

The whole thing is such a sham. I would have at least had a bit more respect for Jake had they just quietly ended it. The fact that it's now got to be paraded in the rags and drawn out like a drama really will leave just as bad a taste in my mouth. I reckon Reese is the majority player behind the drama. She's going to come out on top on this deal. Jake's going to look like the poor schlep who just could not win her heart. After 3 years. L. O. L.

On the other hand.........I won't be all negative. It would be nice to see the guy free of those shackles. And to not have to look at Avon lady. I have to say that I have hardly bought any Avon since they brought her on. My poor Avon lady. I just have not given her any business at all; I feel so bad about that.

okay, before I work myself up, I'm getting off of that ride. Ick.

Hey, Wake Up With Al just had Alicia Keyes on his show. She is gorgeous. Absolutely beautiful. And her voice. Real husky. She's an 11 time Grammy Winner. I did not know that.

I love her song No One.

Everyone have a great day. I can't wait to go in today.

NOT!

lol. I need to go listen to some good music. I'll see ya all later.

Porcine,

thanks for the laugh!

Reese The Bitch Witherspoon might appreciate your naive words.

Lesbian?

prairiegirl said...

I've heard that, smiley. Don't know. But she is sooooo beautiful. LOL. I think I'm gushing.

Good morning to you, smiley!!

And on my earlier comment, regarding some foolishness, I have to face some foolishness of my own.

I think, after some thinking last night, that I'm going to unlock my story. You know, talk about hiding & acting stupid.

Not only am I impossibly unable to keep up with these emails to friend, I cannot be hiding behind a locked story, at least one like mine which isn't controversial or anything. I don't blame anyone else for doing it though. Everyone has very good reasons for doing it.

But my reason? Hiding. Right???

What do you guys think? I think I'm going to unlock it.

prairiegirl said...

I can't come down on Jake if I can't stand up for my own stuff. I have to call myself out on it.

Everyone have a great day! I'm going to be late, I think. Gotta go hit the Crest!

Porcine said...

Porcine,

thanks for the laugh!


No - thanks to this blog for the laughs. The tinfoil is overwhelming LOL

silly trolls said...

Porcine,

the laugh is on you.

Porcine said...

tinfoil = big blue ring + floating legs + BT footprint

Now THAT's a laugh.

Enjoy your fail

lol said...

Silly trolly Porcine is pissed off because Jake is gay.

Porcine said...

Please inundate me with real PROOF, not your tinfoil theories about rings and footprints (that still makes me LOL)

...I'll check back in a year's time to see a blank page

Special K said...

Jake's right now only doing one talk show, Jimmy Kimmel for Brothers. So I really don't get how the split helps him for Brothers. Kimmel gives some of the most softball questions for a late night show. It is more about the laugh.

You haven't seen Tobey promoting the movie yet either on sit downs. It's all been Natalie.

I don't know if they are holding Jake back on interviews till after the movie opens and use him in a couple weeks depending on the momentum of the movie or an award campaign they might be planning, not sure.

For the little bit of press he's doing, for me, it doesn't add up that this would be a part of the strategy for Jake during Brothers.

The breakup story has overshadowed the fact that he has a movie this week, and that makes me still think that this is more about Reese and getting attention than anything else.

lol said...

Please inundate me with real PROOF

Go back to GB and look for PROOF that Jake is straight and dating the chin.

charybdis said...

BTW, Special, before this post cycles down, I should say that your Gyllenhaal/Beals photo mashup at the top is freaking me out....

fyi said...

Keep your LJ locked PG. You invite too much negativity into your life otherwise. Don't think of it as hiding anymore then locking the front door of your house is hiding from the world.

prairiegirl said...

Thanks, fyi. It does sound like a few writers have gotten some nasty emails, not sure why either. But I didn't want to act like I was ashamed or anything and I was rethinking my reasoning behind my decision.

Special, I have read your comment and I will keep my mind open until I see otherwise. I was a little cranky when I woke up this morning and (lol) I still am. But it all has to do with my work here. So I will open the windows and let in the air.

Talk to you all later!

You have to see this vid of a (famous in the UK) comedian doing Flashdance.
It was for charity BTW.

What a feeling LOL

sienna said...

Spesh... i agree w/ ur point. Jake has already done a couple of interviews where she didn't come up. I doubt she would've been an issue in the last one either. don't they get a say in the questions, and if the appearance is to promote a movie - as opposed to just stopping by David L to say hi - then they should have more control over the questions.

by the way, i wonder if he's not doing more shows because maybe he's not being asked too? maybe the big talk show folks don't think this is going to be a big deal movie??

i have more to say. have to organize my thoughts and will be back with it. :)

Special K said...

Great clip Brit Tb. Love it

And here's one for you. Craig Ferguson doing Maniac. (This is not for the faint of heart)

Craig Ferguson Flashdance

sienna said...

Spesh... i agree with what you said about the talk shows/interviews. they seem to have made his personal life off limits, and that makes sense since the reason for the interview is his movie, not just a "Let's Catch Up w/ Jake" thing. So i don't see how the timing of the break-up benefits him at all.

And the apple is already starting to turn bad in his direction: he wants to marry her soooo bad, but she doesn't want to commit, blah blah, and she's just tired of it, etc. So he comes off looking like the lesser of the two, which is the way it’s been played out the whole time this has been going on. It's never been equal at all. Which makes sense if you go by Seniority and Clout, which I’m sure they do out there. She totally trumps him in every way that matters in HW, so she is not going to look like anything but a princess when she walks away from this.

sienna said...

sorry for the almost dupe posts. my first one didn't show up and i thought i'd made a boo boo. i'm a tard. :(

Not your fault Sienna, blogger has some problems and there can be a delay before your posts show up.

Ted said...

Dear Ted:
I'm such a big fan of Taylor Swift. And I think she and Taylor Lautner will make such a cute couple, and I don't think it's fake, I mean sure Taylor Lautner dated Selena Gomez, and they were cute, too, but why would Taylor Swift agree to have a fake relaysh when she writes all her songs about guys cheating on her and breaking up? Wouldn't it be strange if she then started a relaysh just for the benefits of press? I mean the girl has the most sold album, like, ever. I don't think that's because she dates Taylor.
—Caroline

Dear Politics of Hollywood:
Just ask Jennifer Aniston, Renée Zellweger or Reese Witherspoon (all talented and smart ladies): It's always better to be attached to a hunk of the moment.


Dear Ted:
Been reading you for a while...You got me through my pregnancy in Germany while my hubby was deployed... anyway. Reading through Bitch-Back and TAT, I have a question: Is it really hard to have all of this information and not tell? I am awful at keeping a secret, and I just can't imagine having to sit on all the little tidbits you have! How do you sleep?
—A.J.

Dear Rest Easy:
Oh how I wish I could just shout some of these goodies from my E! office, but I'd lose sleep over ruining half of these people's lives and careers, not to mention public images. It's their choice to air their dirty laundry...just wish some of them would do it, already.


Dear Ted:
You know I wonder about Natalie Portman sometimes. She seems to have everything going for her, yet she can't seem to hold down a romantic relationship for long. Admittedly she does do and say some things that make her seem like she could be insufferable in a relationship but is this a reason why she's a Blind Vice superstar?
—portfan

Dear Don't Cry for Portman:
Just because she doesn't fake romances doesn't mean anything's wrong with her. It's OK to be single, people! That's why we heart Nat, 'cause she dates by her own rules.

Oh dear, Jake is becoming Terry Gilliam. Hope they get the cash to finish the project. And if Reeke ends I would like to see Nailed some day, too.

prairiegirl said...

what????? run out of money?

Sienna, you can be such a crack up. You make me grin & laugh sometimes.

Talk to ya all later!!

sienna said...

i wonder if that's true, about the money???

glad i make you laf, pg... i need some lafs myself today. ugh.

jake watching is making me crazy.

bye.

prairiegirl said...

You guys have to check out People.com for me!

2nd lead story right now. On how Reese & Jake are separated by continents!!!

LOLLLL!!!

Awwwwwwwwwww....

prairiegirl said...

Don't tell me they're going to play the sympathy card for ol' Reese.

Look at the sad picture they used for her.

They're going to kill me with this.

People=PR/BS said...

If there is any more proof that their PR is behind this BS is that crap. A good way to Pimp that she will be in the UK to address the house of commons and that he is filming in Pittsburgh, I think ost that read People had no idea.

People'ssources: Jake and Reese's PR. It's the only way frthem to get any attention, more so than the BS marriage/engagement rumors, now we have BS break up rumors.

If they were serious about officially announceing the break-up, they would have waited until next week after Brothers premiere. Jake is doing next to no PR for this film.

PR is feeding this to People and they are going along with it because that's what People does.

Special K said...

Love and Drugs wrapped. Check out IMDB they said it is already in Post Production.

Today was supposed to be the last day in Pittsburgh anyway. So it is really doubtful that they ran out of money.

And fantastic news from Washington DC.
