 I don't know why I'm so fixated on this situation with Jake, but it's seeming more and more distressing to me.  I think this has a lot to do with personal ideas and reactions to grief.  But, I simply can't imagine missing a good friend's/ a best friend's funeral or memorial service.  I really like Cate Blanchett and it's great that she was so involved.  But, it just seems like such a huge omission to not have Jake there and actually playing a rather large role in the memorial.  I guess I just don't get it.



This came up Thursday at a small gathering of Brokies in Portland.  At some point, Jake is going to be publicly asked about Heath Ledger.  Nor can he avoid questions about the importance of Brokeback Mountain to his career.

March 12th, lunchtime. On my inaugural visit to Mozza on Highland and Melrose, I spotted a gaggle of celebs while stuffing my face with their signature pizza. Up from a table rose lanky Jamie Lee Curtis, wearing all blacks and greys and her signature spunky haircut. As my eyes traveled down to resume pizza-eating, I noticed two of the four sitting at the table that I presume she was sitting at - of all folks, Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon. JG was scruffy and terribly attractive, much more so in person than I expected, and stared at RW adoringly, snapping a few candids of her throughout the lunch with his digital camera. Cute couple.

There's been an interesting little "hate Jake fest" going on at Live Journal over the past week of so.  Apparently, Jake hasn't "performed" up to some fans' expectations.

Performed as in Brokeback??

And regarding Heath's death, it must be difficult for him but it was enevitable. Poor Jake.

I don't follow you. Are you saying Heath was a train wreck waiting to happen.  His death came as a total shock to me.

No doubt, Jake must be aware that fans are disappointed that he hasn't commented on Heath's death.  As I posted on IMDB.com, when he starts promoting BROTHERS, he's going to be asked questions by the media about Heath. It can't be avoided.

Heath's dad, Michelle, Naomi Watts, Ang Lee, Daniel Day-Lewis...others.

Why not Jake? I think it's time he made a statement. If he doesn't feel like he can talk about it yet, he could release a written statement.

I know it's his own business, but it's hard to understand.

Maybe he feels that his loss is deeply personal and only shares his feelings with his family and Reese.

No; performed as some of the "fans" expected him to.  It seems that he committed the unforgiveable sin of going shopping, and being seen smiling in public.  And apparently, he owes everyone a "statement" on demand, whether he and Heath were actually friends or not. It might well have been one of those workplace friendships, which tend to fade once the two friends are no longer working together.

Made me understand a little better why celebrities guard their privacy so zealously.  Some of the people who claim to "love" them the most regard them as a hybrid of a commercial commodity and a trained circus poodle.

         I agree ...It seems that those who decry the activities of the paps,, are the ones that
also are the most aggrivated by his lack of response..Its either one way or the other..You want
them to be left alone, with their privacy.  Or you dont..and this falls under the catagory of the
privacy issues to the greatest amount yet.
