--- Quote from: atz75 on February 29, 2008, 04:35:27 pm ---To me there's a big difference in motivation, implication and appropriateness when thinking about "displays of personal grief" and a formal eulogy. I think the gesture of offering a statement (even through a publicist) comes across as a eulogy, which is really supposed to be about honoring the person who's passed away. A display of grief would be about Jake (and would be intrusive and even callous on the part of the media). Jake offering a eulogy would be all about Heath and honoring his memory/importance, etc. I think the eulogy is what we've all been hoping for... and maybe it is almost too late for that sort of gesture.
The factor here of not knowing, and of feeling disconnected from the surviving co-star of BBM is what's frustrating here. Of course Jake doesn't owe fans anything and should be required to do anything in terms of this issue... but it would be nice if he, on his own, felt moved to make a gesture. Again, he simply must be aware of the devastation within the Brokie fan base.

I agree with every word you said here, especially the bold part.
From what I read, I don't think anybody from the bbm fanbase wanted anything more than a simple statement like an eulogy from Jake; and it's too late even for that now.

Excellent points, Louise and Amanda, both. I'm torn, because of course I would have liked to have heard/read about some sort of eulogy from Jake. But I also feel very strongly that he owes us, the fans, nothing, and owes even less to the miserable paparazzi and reporters on this issue or anything else going on in his personal life. I think you're exactly right, Louise, about why he's kept it to himself in terms of a public acknowledgement. But I understand where Amanda's coming from, too.
Anyway, after careful consideration, I'd like to retract my answer to Elle in chat last night (Important Safety Tip: Don't Drink and Chat), and replace it with a resounding "Yes." (Albeit it not quite in the batshit crazy way I used to feel about him.)

Heya,
E!News just did a quick "sightings" segment about Jake and Reese being spotted "all over" NYC the last few days... while wondering why they haven't declared themselves an "official" couple yet. I find the concept of an "official couple" so odd. Anyway, just thought I'd report this here.
