The Latest on Jake G.

I was going to make that same point, Natali - that the Perth funeral seemed to be for family and the family's friends.  And that it's quite possible that the family expressed a wish that the other folks not attend to keep the media at bay.  Or that the other folks collectively decided that would be the best idea.

I'm also with Jude that he's just dealing with it in his own way.  And I still think that any effort to keep the media from exploiting their friendship isn't for self-preservation - after all, any publicity is good publicity (unless you're Tom Cruise), right?  It's out of respect for Heath and his family.  He could just very well be doing what he knows Heath would want him to do.  Heath was extremely private.  So is Jake.  It's not that much of a mystery to me.  Like everyone, I'd just like to know that he's doing OK.  If he's gone back to the set for "Brothers," that's very good news.

There are also very aware of the general public's expectation (Brokies included) about what Jake would do/say/go to. I'm pretty sure they have people searching the forums and gathering information, and they know the media is too so maybe there was a collective decision to keep things as low key as possible by reducing the number of attendees at the funeral, though 500 hundred guests is a lot of people.

One thing about the mountains of northern New Mexico, where Jake's movie is filming: there have been two storms there in the past two weeks, and now it's sunny and things will be melting. If they're filming outdoor scenes (which seems likely in NM; the state markets its scenery to Hollywood, and it stands in for a lot of other places), they've got to worry about the natural conditions changing rapidly at this time of year. They might have trouble with continuity if they don't wrap filming while winter's behaving like winter (assuming that they wanted real snow visible - and if they didn't, why film in January and February?).

Jake was seen in LA. It's possible that he went to that memorial service, but then needed to come back to NM and finish his work on Brothers.

Kelda I was wondering about Anne Hathaway also.

I do feel it is highly possible that Jake wants to stay out of the media's attention. As others have said at this point Jake making a statement would solve nothing. He may as someone else said be doing exactly what he feels Heath would have wanted.
