Lance Armstrong’s Life Story Flick Spawns Gay Rumors, Lots Of Publicity - Comments Page 2

The odds open at 3-to-1 that Jake Gyllenhaal's next paparazzi kiss is with the 7-time Tour de France winner.

The first thing to note in all this is that Lance Armstrong (34), Matthew McConaughey (36) and Jake Gyllenhaal (25) are really good friends and bike buddies, and have been for years.…

    Because I don't know the words to "It's Not Easy Being Green," Jet?

    It's widely speculated here in Austin that Matthew McConaughey is gay, but Lance Armstrong who's also an Austinite is generally believed to be straight. As for Gyllenhall, who the hell of either gender would want to have sex with him unless it ended terminally. He's one seriously irritating dude.

    Daaaaave, the rumors were started by the three of them as a publicity stunt to promote the movie! No one actually believe's Lance is gay, though there are those of us who do fantasize (especially after seeing that photo of him and Matthew).

    As for Jake GyllenHaal, different strokes for different folks...

    ...maybe I should rephrase that...

    The rumors of Matthew go waaay back before anyone even thought of this movie.

    Okay, someone's not paying attention here, and it might be me. Matthew isn't in the planned movie, he's just shacking up with "Straight" Lance Armstrong and biking around in tight spandex with Jake and Lance.

    I've always thought Matt was gay-he's waaaaay to pretty to be straight, after all it was a toss up as to who was the beard between Jodie Foster and Matt during "Contact"

    Lance may be straight, but many of us wish he wasn't, and who knows walking around dressed like that in Matthew's beach house....

    Matt does smoke a prodigious amount of weed, that at least is a given.

    Maybe he got Lanc stoned and took advantage, that's explain all the shopping trips to the market.

    Sorry but I don't think Jake is playing with his fanbase with stupid rumors. To place all the extra gossip on Jake is unfair and immature. Jake didn't write the ESPY jokes and he didn't say them either, Lance did. Lance and Matt are staying at the same beach house. And I am sure Lance and Matt have their own PR and reasons for doing all this, so it isn't all Jake.

    Dave, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I think Jake is great and a very talented actor.

    Chantal, you don't have to tell me! I tried to blow it up to use as part of my wallpaper collage, but it was done obviously with a telephoto lense and that's why the image is so small. Right now I'm using the BlogCritic's Blimp as my wall paper-alas

    Me# it's to promote a movie, as for whether or not Lance and Matt are playing along, look again at the movie clip!

    Yes Jake is definately hot.

    Don't get hot under the collar, it's just three good friends having a lot of fun.

    boys will be boys

    So... Foreign testosterone was found in Landis... I hope it wasn't Gyllenhaal's... or Lance's.

    Who cares if these 3 are gay or not? It's highly unlikely that those who hope they are would ever get close enough to find out anyway! The same is true for those who hope they're straight. It's kind of sad that you all have spent time speculating about this.

    #45-Duh! this is an article about a publicity stunt concerning an upcoming movie-not whether the subjects are straight or not?

    Are you commenting on the article or the comments on the article?

    This is about the casting of a movie about Lance Armstrong-not the principle's sexuality-Sheesh!!!

    Whoever "Dave" is on here. . .you must have spent the last several years in a cave if you can't imagine anyone who'd want to have sex with Jake Gyllenhaal because I assure there are thousands of women out there who do! I'll bet there are lots more women craving his body than yours--you must be jealous.

    Well, I gotta admit the "do you love yourself" bullshit is better than "I've got nothing to do today, I'm so bored crap"

    I'm beginning to wonder-Lance & Matt are featured together in this week's NEWSWEEK at a Miami hot-spot wearing matching outfits? from all reports they're still living together at Matt's malibu beach house too??????

    Forgive me if I missed something over the last half a year or so, but did Armstrong come out of the closet? Last I remember, he was dating Crow. Someone please shed some light for me! Thanks

    Bowler, as much as I appreciate you reading and dropping a line, did you read the article?

    It says...

    Despite that, Jake seems to be playing with his fans, using his success from Brokeback Mountain to get advance publicity and maybe start some very interesting gay 3-way romantic rumors. What’s even more surprising is that his two best pals Armstrong and McConaughey seem to be playing along!

    I only wish he'd come out of the closet...he's a babe...

    Gyllenhaal told the audience that he wanted to do something to thank fans of his movie "Brokeback Mountain." So he put on a black wig, ripped off his clothes to reveal a long, spangled black dress and sang Effie's big song from "Dreamgirls," "And I'm Telling You, I'm Not Going."

    Gyllenhaal really got into it, singing in a falsetto and showing off his biceps in his sleeveless gown.

    The audience went nuts, including the two cast members dressed as cowboys.

    If you are talking about the incodent with Matt, I wonder the same thing myself. There are many rumors.

    Thanks for dropping a line here

    Lance Armstrong is ready to swear climb back on the bike and win an eighth Tour de France. Three years after retiring, the 36-year-old says he'll return to competition and the Tour de France in 2009, giving up relaxed days of a few beers and Tex-Mex food for a self-described monk's life of disciplined training and punishing races.

    In a formal statement Armstrong called his comeback an attempt to raise global awareness in his fight against cancer. Just as likely, it's also about his relentless desire to compete and win, especially at the Tour, the race he dominated with a record seven titles from 1999-2005.
