Honesty has a beautiful and refreshing simplicity about it. No ulterior motives. No hidden meanings. An absence of hypocrisy, duplicity, political games, and verbal superficiality. As honesty and real integrity characterize our lives, there will be no need to manipulate others.

Happy birthday Jake! Here is little something for you :)
Did Franco already earn a degree? B.A.? M.A.?
According to this, he received his MFA from Columbia, completed his undergraduate degree at UCLA, studied film at NYU, and was enrolling in Yale's English Ph.D. program
Pfft!
Happy 30th Birthday Toothy! I hope you get a role in a hit movie this year :) And, btw, now that you're 30, it's time to man up!
AmandaEBoyle: Just saw michelle williams, jake gyllenhaal, maggie gyllenhaal, and @joejonas at one place. Not telling where though :)
about 10 hours ago
Joe Jonas??? WTF?! lol
Maybe there was a Jonas bro's concert and they went with Ramona & Matilda?
10 hours ago = 11PM in NYC, too late for Ramona & Matilda.
^^Oh right.
LOL - Swifty used to "date" Joe Jonas.
Recycling is good!
Matt Bomer Goes Shopping with "Some Adorable Kids"
Wow. Those kids are freaking adorable! Gotta say, they make Bomer look even sexier :)
Happy Birthday tp Jakey boy. Hopefully he'll work a lot more the next years and soon be in a good movie for a chage. And also stop with the tabloid romances. :)
I wonder if Heath's family will come visit Matilda for Christmas in Brooklyn? Michelle and Matilda were in Perth last year. Now it's their turn. :)
Just saw michelle williams, jake gyllenhaal, maggie gyllenhaal, and @joejonas at one place.
Michelle, please slap some sense into Jake!
Let me do it! :)
Jake, birthday is a good time to think about life and future - you should try it.
Michelle, please slap some sense into Jake!
Let me do it! :)
Take a number and get in line!
Fuck!
I’m sure he is thrilled that Reese’s movie is in 8th place and is going to make about 7 million this weekend. They will never recover the 150 million cost.
No matter what you think of their real/fake relationship, it ended badly and I’m sure it makes him happy. I bet we will get pictures of Jake smiling. If I was him I would make sure to be papped very happy.
I bet Jake doesn't give a shit about Reese Witherspoon and her shitty movies.
LOL. You guys are too funny sometimes. But I tend to agree with 2:14.
^^I tend to agree with 2:24, not 2:14. LOL.
'Bribed' Golden Globe judges nominate flops after Vegas junket

I found Jake and James Franco pics from 2006 at a post Oscar party.
Pics
Looking trough James' filmography on imdb, I saw that "Howl" has Jake's mom, Naomi Foner, mentioned on "special thanks". Does anyone know what Jake's mom has to do with James' movie "Howl"?
This is the girl James is "dating"/dating:
Another blonde in Hollywood
I'm actually looking forward to see him host the Oscars with Anne. Both will star in the Alien prequel afterwards. :)

Interesting. Jake, it will be easy to approach Franco again and do some ass kissing.

Why should he be kissing James' (I have no doubt cute) ass?
I don't understand what you mean?
LOL @ Sean Penn having a man crush on Franco:
ha ha
Why should he be kissing James' (I have no doubt cute) ass?
Jake should try to hang out with it people from the industry and look for good projects.
Jake should try to hang out with it people from the industry and look for good projects.
Ah! I see and agree. :)
James has good connections in Hollywood now. He said he knew the producer of the Oscars. I wonder if he suggested Anne as his co host?
I know many don't believe him, but Franco said he hasn't smoked marihuana since High School. And the reason why he sometimes looks high, is because he's exhausted from stuying and working. Would make sense.
Kiki making googly eyes at James:

James and his cute lil bro, he's model:

Sorry, currently I'm on a James and Natalie high. I think (hope) it's just temporary.
You can imagine I'm looking forward to "Your Highness". ;)
I'm looking forward to "Your Highness" too :)
LAOD 3 weeks in the top ten and a high of 6 its first week. Horrible.
Jake better beard. His GG nomination is a joke.
His GG nomination is a joke.
You didn't like his performance? I'll be seeing LaOD in 2 weeks. I'll make sure to post my review.
The reviews by critics and audiences have been mixed, the film's also R rated. I can't say that its b.o. surprises me.
I fear that SC will be even worse. That movie looks so bad. I hope Duncan Jones wasn't just a one hit wonder with "Moon". Everything about SC looks very amateurish to me. :(
Awww, the pix of Bomer and the kids are adorable. And they're from JJ--inching further out of the glass closet?
I remeber that for a nanosecond way back when some wondered if Franco was Toothy's boyfriend because of that photo.
Happy Birthday Jake, here's hoping you get some wisdom and balls for your 30th.
I think Jake knows that Source Code is probably gonna suck. That's why I think he didn't choose any further projects. Maybe to rethink his career?
I think the 4 turkeys in a row are having an effect on him.
You didn't like his performance? I'll be seeing LaOD in 2 weeks. I'll make sure to post my review.
I'm not 4:09PM, but I thought Jake was good in LAOD. Anne was good, too. I wouldn't go so far as to call their performances award worthy, though. Didn't care for the movie, but they were probably the best thing about it.
Composer Clint Mansell who was supposed to score Source Code will not be doing it anymore, because of sceduling issues. Instead an unknown composer will do it.
Mansell did the score for The Wrestler, Black Swan and Moon among other great movies.
I could play harmonica!
Who knows how much Jake was depending on PoP to be a huge hit. Obviously he's not going to talk about it, but maybe he thought he'd be busy with a franchise.
Obviously he's not going to talk about it, but maybe he thought he'd be busy with a franchise.
It's possible.
The new composer for Source Code is Chris Bacon. He did a lot of assisting in good movies, but the movies where he actually did all the score work alone, are all rated BADLY.
I would not only feel bad for Jake if Source Code ended up being a complete disaster, also for Jones who agreed to do Source Code after Jake persuaded him.
The new composer for Source Code is Chris Bacon.
Bacon? Sounds good to me!

Atta boy, Atti! Always look on the bright side :)
Anne Hathaway just won a Satellite Award for Best Actress in a comedy.
Other important awards: Fincher (best director), Social Network (best film), Firth (best actor).
I know some on WFT 2 who have seen LAOD will disagree, but I bet if LAOD received mostly favourable reviews, Anne would have been nominated for an Oscar. She was screwed over because of the mixed reviews for the movie itself.

I know some on WFT 2 who have seen LAOD will disagree, but I bet if LAOD received mostly favourable reviews, Anne would have been nominated for an Oscar. She was screwed over because of the mixed reviews for the movie itself.
If a movie is a big hit and the critics love it, then, sure, your chances of an Oscar nom increase. But idk about Anne being "screwed over." She was good, but there were a lot of great performances by female actors this year, so the competition is especially tough when you have to choose only five. It's hard to compare Oscars to Satellites and GGs which get divided into drama/comedy categories.
I'll just say Sandy Bullock in The Blind Side. A solid movie with a solid performance by Sandy. Not Oscar worthy imo. She still got a nod and a win, because the reviews were mostly positive and because it was a b.o. hit.
pix of Bomer and the kids are adorable
The older one pulling the hoodie string was LOL; he's probably always annoying! I imagine that kid is always asking questions, wanting stuff, whining!
Jake said...I could play harmonica!
LOL
Sandra did not have much competition and it was also partly a nod for her being a box office success and being so well-liked.
I have not read tha Jake got Duncan involed with SC, where did you hear that..
By box office success, I mean over her whole career, not jus The Blind Side.
LAOD 3 weeks in the top ten and a high of 6 its first week. Horrible.
Better than Reese's bomb this weekend! x17 had this blurb: Reese Witherspoon Paid Millions To Star In Box Office Bomb
here's hoping you get some wisdom and balls for your 30th.
Are they in the cake?
I'll just say Sandy Bullock in The Blind Side. A solid movie with a solid performance by Sandy. Not Oscar worthy imo. She still got a nod and a win, because the reviews were mostly positive and because it was a b.o. hit.
Okay. IA that a good reviews and b.o. make it easier to get a nom and a win. But that doesn't mean Anne is getting "screwed over" if she doesn't get an Oscar nom. There are other factors involved, as 7:57 pointed out.
Better than Reese's bomb this weekend! x17 had this blurb: Reese Witherspoon Paid Millions To Star In Box Office Bomb
idg comparing Jake to Reese. Her movie looks awful, not surprised it bombed. But it's not like they're competing for the same roles, lol. What success she has or doesn't have has no effect on Jake's career.
Selena Gomez must have the same publicist as her BFF Swifty. These pics look as staged as Swyll's USWeekly spread.
Justin Bieber And Selena Gomez Go For A Walk....

Well EXCUSE ME for posting about the latest bomb movie, since the subject of LAOD's low box office in its first weekend was brought up. Stop being so fucking sensitive about Reese. If anyone is linking Jake with her, it's you.
Jake says I Love You in Korean- well he tries- and Anne says Jake is a real person
-Jake and Anne say nice things about each other
-The interviewer makes Jake say "You're beautiful" and "I like you" to her
-Jake says I love you and Anne says goodbye in Korean

"Black Swan" with Natalie Portman simply #Perfect! And Mila Kunis rocked as well! Brilliant performances! Q buena pelicula carajo!!! #OSCAR
10 minutes ago
8:37, what are you so pissed off about? No one is "sensitive" about Reese, lol. She can have ten bombs in a row and retire from acting for all I care.
Not that I care, but Reeses bomb could not happen to a more worthy person. Disagree about the Beiber and Gomez pics. They capture two teens being shy and look age appropriate. Big difference from those pictures of Jake with Swift. When he was "dating" Reese, the age difference made her look older than she was. Seeing Jake with Swift has the exact opposite effect. It makes him look 10 years older than he is. Like he is walking with his daughter.
10:05 you always blame it on the other posters don't you. Can't admit that you were wrong to jump on and criticize another's comment. I love that YOU were the one who took it out of context but somehow you turn it around, accuse the responder of being pissed off and that you don't care about the original comment anyway...did you take lessons on passive-aggression or does it come naturally?
Some eye candy :)
Some eye candy
Thanks. My eyes will have to go to confession tomorrow! I wonder if/what he wore/what the merkin looked like in the last two pics. It's funny how the nudity in LAOD is talked and talked about but I don't remember anything about it in JH. Were there any interviews with the actress? Any quotes? Any rumors about dating her?!
LAOD 3 weeks in the top ten and a high of 6 its first week. Horrible.
Jake better beard. His GG nomination is a joke.
Ahh, so much love for Jake, and on his birthday. GG nomination for Jake is a big deal just as it is for whoever else was nominated. Oh yeah, I forgot, YOU've been PREDICTING Jake's FAILURE and "Career Calapse" for how many years now? LOL
I just know you're loving his GG noms are'nt you?
Trolly, please tell us how you're really feeling...seething much? A GG is not an Oscar! LOL!!
Oh yeah, I forgot, YOU've been PREDICTING Jake's FAILURE and "Career Calapse" for how many years now?
Jake's 5 flops in a row is a sign of good movie career? Well?
GG nomination for Jake is a big deal just as it is for whoever else was nominated.
"Now that we've recovered from Golden Globes-induced shock, let's review what we've learned from the ordeal. To be upfront, we still can't pinpoint how and when The Tourist became a comedy, but as for the rest of it…
1. The Globes Are Not the Oscars: Back in the Pia Zadora day, everybody knew this, and then the Globes reformed, and then everybody forgot this. Nothing like six combined nominations for The Tourist and Burlesque, compared to one combined nomination for Toy Story 3 and True Grit, to make everybody go, "Oh, yeah, right..."
..."
I just know you're loving his GG noms are'nt you?
We know you just love ignoring simple truth and facts.
Will GG noms turn LAOD into a good movie?
Will GG noms turn LAOD into a box office sucess?
Will Jake's GG norm make everyone forget about flops and his good, but not great performaces?
I have not read tha Jake got Duncan involed with SC, where did you hear that..
I thought that was well known among Jake followers. SC initially had a different director, but Jake's and his views how the movie should be done clashed, so Jake persuaded Duncan J. to do it. He obviously accepted.
I think some other actor and Duncan had different views and Jake accepted Duncan's offer. Not 100% sure, but I'm 100% sure that there are WFT2 comments about this from that time.
7:40 AM, I'm pretty sure it was Jake getting Duncan on board.
Is the Survivor winner Jud Birza ("Fabio") gay? I didn't watch the show this season but I just saw pics of him, he's a model and well....
http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/54481565.html
This was an answer [re Skarsworth] right before the letter below: "Dear Annoyed:
Nobody's perfect, but come on, in comparison to showmances going on all around them A and K aren't bad. Cut them some slack!"
Dear Ted:
I know you just said Selena Gomez might only like her guys out of the limelight, but after seeing her with Cory Monteith at the Style Awards, they have crazy chemistry! I know he's majorly older than she is, but he seems pretty innocent, just like her, so it could work!
—Francie
Dear Costar Coupling:
I would totally approve of this, F. Both Selena and Cory are super sweet (and well-behaved), and I could see this working. The age difference might be a little much right now though. Didn't you know Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Swift are the only ones who can do it?

I just saw your quote is from Chuck Swindoll. LOL a friend took me to one of his sermons and my gawd I thought people were going to start rolling down the aisle. Blech once was enough. Anyway IIRC Swindoll is a homophobic, sexist, holier than thou preacher. At least he was back then. Ironic that he's in a WFT blog.
Surprised that we didn't get any pics or even tweets on Jake at all this weekend. Wonder if there was another photo op done and US Weekly is sitting on the pics like the Thanksgiving ones.
LAOD 3 weeks in the top ten and a high of 6 its first week. Horrible.
Jake better beard. His GG nomination is a joke.
Actors in worst movies have been nominated by many awards shows in the past, even the Oscars, and won. What's the difference here. Jake is the difference!
Jake was very good in this movie!
Jake's 5 flops in a row is a sign of good movie career? Well?
That depends on what YOU call a flop. One person flop may be another persons masterpiece. The other side is, Some actors with great performances is BO hits don't even get mentioned. Most indie NON money making films, non "BOX OFFICE" hits get the performance nods more so now than old HW of decades ago.
Trolly, please tell us how you're really feeling...seething much? A GG is not an Oscar! LOL!!
I knew the Oscars would come from your mouth. Your last attempt to make this person as unfit for any award mention in your world. No, it's not an Oscar. But seeing your face when Jake's name was announced at GG nominations = PRICELESS
What's the difference here. Jake is the difference! Jake was very good in this movie!
Jake needs another GREAT performance 5 years after Brokeback Mountain.
That depends on what YOU call a flop.
Bullshit, everyone but you knows what's a flop: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_office_bomb
But seeing your face when Jake's name was announced at GG nominations = PRICELESS
Why? This nomination will be soon forgotten, but LAOD will continue to be one of Jake's bad movies.
That depends on what YOU call a flop.
You really need to learn some basic terms: "If a studio recoups the production and marketing costs of a film, then it can be considered a success." Simple enough for you?
That depends on what YOU call a flop.

Wrong person. I'm not calling it a flop. It's the Jake failure wisher who is calling it a flop. I know how HW works and they will try anything, many ways to get their money back. Breaking even is Good. And many movies fail more so than become successful.
But seeing your face when Jake's name was announced at GG nominations = PRICELESS
Yawning is free, sweety
BBM Was a piece of shit and Jake gave a crap performance. The only reason it got nominations was becasue HW thought it would be PC, too bad they changed their minds when their support actually counted.
It's the Jake failure wisher who is calling it a flop.
Why do you keep insulting everyone's intelligence?
Movie's box office, production and marketing costs determine if something is flop or not - ever heard about term facts?
Jake needs another GREAT performance 5 years after Brokeback Mountain.
Needs? For Who? YOU??
Many actors go for years with great or sup par performances and don't get mentioned.
Some are Great Actors.
Jake can act for another 30 years and may not get another award, So What? It has happened to many.
Needs another great performance?? Says Who?
Needs another great performance?? Says Who?
Everyone who hopes that Jake will have a good career.
Or get new projects. Remember Chris O'Donnel?
LAOD is not going down in anybodys books as a great film. An OK film. So Jakes latest is OK versus awful like POP. Are you satisfied. Not what he had hoped for. Word of mouth so far on SC is not good. When they put a lid on talk its never good. If people loved it word would spread like wildfire. Not happening.
"If people loved it word would spread like wildfire. Not happening"
Remember all the buzz for LAOD?
And then it FLOPPED, FLOPPED, FLOPPED...!!!
Of course trolly doesn't believe in facts, he probably gets his news from Fox.
BBM Was a piece of shit and Jake gave a crap performance."
Oh really? What alternate universe do you live in? What is your favorite film of all time? "I Spit On Your Grave?"
Of course trolly doesn't believe in facts, he probably gets his news from Fox.
Fact: You were and continue to be upset that Jake has been nominated for an award for his PERFORMANCE in a movie. Regardless of the movie, if it's a great movie, BO hit or a dud, he has been nominated for an Award for his PERFORMANCE !!
Fact: You have and continue to Predict his failure because of whatever your reason are.
Fact: ^^ It Has NOT happened!
Personally I find it interesting to see what Reese does and how her movies perform. Seeing her latest movie flop is just more evidence I think that the old ways in HW do not work. What matters is the story and the script. I think people are tired of paying good money for crap, and being a tabloid fixture doesn't sell a movie, even for Angelina.
Fact: You were and continue to be upset that Jake has been nominated for an award for his PERFORMANCE in a movie.
You wish, LMAO!
You were and continue to be upset that Jake has been nominated for an award for his PERFORMANCE in a movie.
Keep pretending that GG nomination can fix Jake's career and turn him into bankable actor.
Fact: It Has NOT happened!
Good! Tell us about Jake's new projects.
Why is troll SHOUTING?
Keep pretending that GG nomination can fix Jake's career and turn him into bankable actor.
^^ I would say at least 90% of HW major actors are not bankable. It's hit or miss with a movie these days.
Jake walking around in glamour drag camping it up and eyeing every man he sees might be your "fixing up of his career" remedy. Edgy with a fey/bad boy flair huh.
Does'nt work for everyone and may not be his cup of tea. OK
eyeing every man he sees
He gave me more than the 'once over'
12:48 PM - you are right. Jake doesn't need to make money for studios, he doesn't need good reviews, he doesn't need to impress public with his performances, he doesn't need a fan base, he'll be hired because there is no competition in Hollywood and because his surname is Gyllenhaal.
LOL.But sadly it appears that Jake's people and apparently his mom and sister seem to believe that.
Jake doesn't need to make money for studios, he doesn't need good reviews, he doesn't need to impress public with his performances, he doesn't need a fan base, he'll be hired because there is no competition in Hollywood and because his surname is Gyllenhaal.
Alright now, YOU have thrown everything at the wall now, and nothings sticking... Now you've moved to the ole, it's his parents, they are behind the scenes pushing buttons.
Not buying it. Of course in the beginning Jake parents pushed the kids or their clout helped them more than unknown young actors, but for years now Jake has been standing on his own. He will be much bigger and already is bigger than his parents are/were. He has surpassed his sister also.
Whatever Jake is doing, good or bad, like it, or NOT, you can bet, he's calling the shots NOW. This includes his public relations people also.
You may not agree with those shots.
1:06 PM - your playing stupid games are really stupid.

James Franco tells EW why he's hosting the Academy Awards:
“When [producer Bruce Cohen] asked me to host, I was very, very surprised, and my initial reaction was ‘No.’ Then I thought about it and I thought, well, why not? Because I’ll look bad? Well, I don’t care....When we finally met and discussed it in person, all my representatives were saying, ‘No! Of course not!’ So that always sparks something in me. So I said, ‘Yes, of course!’ Because that reaction that they have is based on conventional wisdom of what makes a good career. And that can be boring — really boring.”
http://www.towleroad.com/2010/12/james-franco-decided-to-host-oscars-when-his-reps-told-him-not-to.html
How ironic. On the day before Jake's birthday, Congress officially repeals DADT. Could you imagine what it would be like if every closeted gay man and lesbian in Hollywood came out of the closet?
2:59, Well let's just say it was repealed on Brad Pitts Birthday.
I agree 1:06 PM. When you hear the Odd name Gyllenhaal, nobody thinks of Stephen or Naomi, and Maggie is an afterthought.
Jake is the Star in that family ((NOW)).
Gyllenhaal = Jake
"Needs another great performance?? Says Who?"
Believe it or not but there are fans who thought that Jake has a great career ahead and who were interested in his future work (not just whom he is fucking - sorry Jackie!)
I understand that "Rendition" or "Brothers" looked good on script but Jake did nothing to make his roles special. I did not see any great acting since BBM - always good looking actor Jake. He never disappeared in one of those roles.
"Because that reaction that they have is based on conventional wisdom of what makes a good career. And that can be boring — really boring.”
And that is the difference between actors like James Franco and Jake - Jake has become conventional and his latest roles are boring and for me that is the worst thing for an actor. Not everything Franco does is great - but he tries new ways and is fearless.
And don´t get me started on the fact that Jake is now more famous for his "girlfriends" than his films.....
When we finally met and discussed it in person, all my representatives were saying, ‘No! Of course not!’ So that always sparks something in me. So I said, ‘Yes, of course!’
:)
When you hear the Odd name Gyllenhaal, nobody thinks of Stephen or Naomi, and Maggie is an afterthought. Jake is the Star in that family.
Bullshit. When people hear Gyllenhaal they think of Atticus Finch Gyllenhaal.
Fountain boy said...He gave me more than the 'once over'
Heh more like a roll over..a few times.
Surprised that we didn't get any pics or even tweets on Jake at all this weekend. Wonder if there was another photo op done and US Weekly is sitting on the pics like the Thanksgiving ones.
Good point. When do those rags come out anyway? On Weds/Thurs? Even if no pics you know the copy will read that Swyll spent a private secluded w/e together having sex 10+ times a day and Jake's ready to wed!
Weds.
Surprised that we didn't get any pics or even tweets on Jake at all this weekend.

Best & Worst of 2010
Written by Sarah
(Lainey intro: I asked Sarah for her thoughts on the best and worst in our ongoing Year in Review feature. Obviously I vehemently disagree with Jake Gyllenhaal, even though Prince of Persia totally sucked. As you know, I don’t mind Swifty and Jakey as much as the rest of you.)
THE WORST
Jake Gyllenhaal
It’s been a tough year for Jake G. He’s had two highly-touted movies, Prince of Persia and Love and Other Drugs, both of which failed to live up to expectations. Though Love and Other Drugs did get Jake a Golden Globe nomination, I’m not sure how seriously I’m supposed to take that in a year when Jennifer Love Hewitt also received a nod. And finally, Jake’s quiver-killing relationship with Taylor Swift is a weird, uncomfortable note to end the year on.
Lainey
You are slipping, there were tweets of Jake un NY Friday and Saturday, one was posted here that he was at some restauraunt with Michelle and Maggie. I don't know if there were any yesterday on his b'day, I bet he stayed indoors, b'day with family in Brooklyn als, he made that stupid joke about swimming in the Artic qith walruses on his b 'day and he obviously didn't go because there are tweets of him today in NY.
I guess his PR can say he took as 9 hr flight to the artic on Sunday and came back in 24 hrs, LOL!
Surprised that we didn't get any pics or even tweets on Jake at all this weekend.
There were several over the weekend, on Saturday AND Sunday.
PoP wasn't that bad. I watched it with different people, among them straight guys, who thought it was entertaining. Just because people from the US didn't like it, doesn't mean it sucked generally. Inl. B.O. wasn't bad either.
Lainey is an idiot.
Btw. LAOD is no. 3 in Australian B.O.
If LAOD pulls a PoP and does much better outside of the US, then it's really clear: US Americans don't like Jake G.
Source Code - Eric Forman (from That 70ies Show...forgot his real name) was supposed to play Jake's part, but then it was decided Jake should play the part. Jake and the former director supposedly had different opinions about the film, so production people and Jake asked DJ to direct the movie.
Needs another great performance
It's not so easy. For your good/great performance to be recognized the movie must be good and liked too.
You don't get parts like in Black Swan of 127 Hours that easily.
Natalie had many, many shitty movies since Closer, now she hit the jack pot with BS. But different than Jake, she works non stop and gives her all. Hence she came across BS more quick than Jake would have with his rather lazy working habit. Franco has had 2 GREAT years. If he's lucky, he'll pull a DiCaprio and continously land hits, critical or commercial. Not even the best actor of our generation, Depp, can manage that. :)
Maggie and Peter tweets in Nashville today, LOL!!
Can you post them 5:56? I've seen one of Maggie at "Crema" by a gal from Nashville, but I think the Nashville gal is in NYC actually.
You can find Crema in NYC and Nashville.
Think this one is in TN

Thanks. It's probably safe to say that family Gyllenhaal & Sarsgaard will be spending Christmas with the Swifts. Jake will probably soon be there too. He's still in N.Y. right now, probably he has some other obligations before he can head to Nashville.
Jake is still in New York:
WitnssProtction: I -KNEW- I should have gone to NYC with my brothers today. D just ran into Jake Gyllenhaal at FAO Schwartz.

Shopping for Matilda and Ramona!
Shopping for Matilda and Ramona!
That's a nice thought. :)
I wonder if Matilda's grandparents will come to New York? I remember last year after Christmas, Heath's mom came to visit M & M and Michelle disappeard for a long while after Mrs. Bell left New York. I hope everything is alright between Ledgers & Michelle.
Most likely Michelle will spend Christmas with her mom and sister (and her hubby). Probably not with her dad, since she hasn't spoken to him for years.
Random people were asked about Franco and Anne hosting the Oscars. Most were ok with Franco (one even called him an icon), but here were some negative reactions towards Anne.

It's amazing how fast James Franco became so big. His cool sounding name has "icon" written all over it as well.
I'm really, really curious about his upcoming projects and promoting "Your Highness" with Natalie. I wonder what she thinks about him? I bet she likes him. I mean, he's one of the very few young male (and talented!!!) actors who is an academic. Sort of on her level.
You are slipping, there were tweets of Jake un NY Friday and Saturday,
There were several over the weekend, on Saturday AND Sunday.
Ya know, YOU who saw the tweets could have posted them here, instead of expecting other people to do it.
*smh*
They were posted here in the previous thread, and not by me.
It was a Saturday night sighting that included Maffie and Michele, go back to the previous thread, I was not the only who saw it.
^^^^^
Maggie
Jesus guys, here is the tweet:
AmandaEBoyle: Just saw michelle williams, jake gyllenhaal, maggie gyllenhaal, and @joejonas at one place. Not telling where though :)
^^
Jake was in NYC during weekend and still is, according to the newest tweets.
And don´t get me started on the fact that Jake is now more famous for his "girlfriends" than his films.....
If it doesn't bother him being more famous for his female companions than his movies, why should it bother us? It's his business. If that's his main goal in life. So be it. There are other actors I'm equally, maybe even more, interested in than Jake. I'm just really used to following Jake. Guess I can't quit him...yet.

Thanks 8:33 but one tweet does not "several" make. Also you say "Jake was in NYC during weekend and still is, according to the newest tweets." Obviously you are following tweets. But not posting them. LOL yeah, thanks.
I saw the trailer for "Your Highness" and I hate to sound like a silly James fangirl (and Natalie fangirl) BUT it looks hilarious. Really friggin funny. I am predicting a hit for James, Natalie and that other actor who's in it whose name eludes me. He's very funny in the trailer.
"Thanks. It's probably safe to say that family Gyllenhaal & Sarsgaard will be spending Christmas with the Swifts. Jake will probably soon be there too. He's still in N.Y. right now, probably he has some other obligations before he can head to Nashville."
Even if I thought Jake was straight and actually dating Swift, I would still find the pairing odd and not believable for many reasons. First, they are such a random couple with seemingly nothing in common. Second, while 9 years isn't a huge age difference (my parents had a 17 year gap), she acts like 21 going on 16 and Jake is 30 going on 40. Third, they supposedly only knew each other for 4 or 5 weeks by Thanksgiving and she spends the day with his entire family and then he takes off to spend the rest of the weekend with her. But yet their previous outings were with groups of people including Swift's mother. Fourth, it would be just weird if Jake's family all went down to Nashville to spend Christmas with Swift's family. They will have supposedly known each other for 2 months and Jake and his entire family is going to fly to Nashville and spend Christmas with a bunch of strangers? The above reasons just reinforce to me that the entire "romance" is a PR romance.
Jakes mom is Jewish. His sister just celebrated Hannakah. I doubt they are interested in celebrating XMAS with a family they barely know. They did XMAS when Papa was around but he has his own new life now.
Papa is family, nothing can change that.
I don't care who does what where as long as I get steaks, treats and toys.
Good thinking, Atti! :)

+ I'm sure Jake can't stand her shitty music, lol.
DUH!
If it doesn't bother him being more famous for his female companions than his movies, why should it bother us?
Stupidity bothers us, we can't help it :)
It's amazing how fast James Franco became so big.
I don't think that "fast" is the correct word - Franco is 32 and works a lot last 10 years or longer.
Peter and his family ade Catholic, some people seem to forget that, doesn't he have a say in the matter?
PS: Didn't they have a Christian wedding ceremony in Italy( Maggie & Peter)
...doesn't he have a say in the matter?
No.
Jakey will explode with pride. He and Taylor are the best hook up of the year. Other best of lists include Best Movie of the year (Inception).
At least Jake makes those annual lists thanks to Taylor. Yay! ;)

Smart man.
So crazy Papa G was kiked to the curb?? LOL!!!
What about Maggie's in laws, I bet Magie, Pwter and Ramona celebrate XMAS with his side of the family, Ramona is half his too!!
Peter was an alter boy.
Peter was an alter boy.
Really? Me too!
The Achs (Naomi) in Brooklyn/LES are not really religious Jews so I was surprised to read from maggie that they were lighting candles for Hanakkah.
I was under the impression that Jake, Maggie and Papa were Buddihst but that probably changed as they got older, and especially Maggie with the birth of her daughter, I bet there is a Christmas tree at home.
I'm an atheist but I have a Christmas tree and I celebrate Christmas. For me it is about my family's and my nation's past and tradition, not religion.

A-ha! We rock! Franco Who?
Sigourney Weaver appeared on CNN's American Morning yesterday to talk about her role as Mary Griffith, the real-life mother of a bullied gay teen, whom she portrayed in Prayers for Bobby, which is now out on DVD.
The issue of bullied gay teens clearly resonates with Weaver, who choked up talking about the role. She also talks about lgbt civil rights and 'DADT' briefly at the end of the clip.

list where you are ahead of Franco
DUH!
Back in April we saw Zachary Quinto play a whole handful of rules in Before And After, a webisode that's perfectly in tune with your attention span, because it mashes together a whole host of scenarios but only shows you what happens before and after (get it?). Here's Zach's follow up. You're going to press play if we tell you he ends up in his underwear, aren't you?

Go see "Angels in America" and you get to see full Quinto peen.
Taylor Swift Gets a $100K B-Day Bracelet from Jake G: So Is This Really for Real?
We’ve been skeptical, but if Jake really did buy Taylor a $100,000 diamond bracelet, it might really be a romance!
It might be time to reconsider the Taylor Swift-Jake Gyllenhaal showmance: For Taylor’s 21st birthday on Dec. 13, her new beau Jake Gyllenhaal, 30, has reportedly given her a very expensive present … a $100,000 bracelet!
“It’s an Oscar-worthy bracelet — nearly 30 carats of colorless diamonds set in white gold,” a source tells In Touch magazine. “It cost Jake about $100,000, but he wanted to do something special for Taylor’s birthday.”
Besides the 30-carat sparkler, Jake also picked up some other goodies for Tay. “They love coffee, so he sent her 21 pounds of the best Kona coffee available, along with a coffee grinder and a coffeemaker,” says the source. “And he made her a birthday card, as opposed to buying a generic one!”
Taylor seems so taken away by Jake that she’s even changing up her image to please her new man. “She’s decided to get a more sophisticated look,” another source notes. “She’s buying from stores like Chanel, Prada and Hermes.”
Do you think Jake and Tay's relationship is real?
YES! So real! 77.94%
Heck no! They're still faking it! 22.06%
Hollywood Life
If Reeke strongly suggested that Jake was gay, Gyllyswift all but proves it.
Only a closeted, ambitious but professionally frustrated gay man would come up with two bearding schemes as transparently, patently unbelievable as this.
Taylor's previous 'dating' history essentially outs Jake. There's really nothing left to speculate about at this point.
... And he made her a birthday card, as opposed to buying a generic one!
ROFLMAO!!!
They forgot to mention the 3-layer cake he baked just for the beard! lol
HEATH Ledger's daughter will not share Christmas with her Australian family.
link to article
^^The late actor's former partner Michelle Williams said she was trying to move on almost three years after his death.
She said she has no plans to spend Christmas with Ledger's parents in Perth as "it has been years now".
Instead, she wants five-year-old Matilda to be free to develop her own holiday traditions.
Asked what her plans for Christmas were, Williams told the New York Post: "The usual thing expected is always go home to Mum or be in Australia with Heath Ledger's family.
"But it's been years now. I want my daughter to develop her own traditions. I want her freed from old ways."
The comments reignite the persistent rumours of tensions between Williams and the Ledger family.
Start of sidebar. Skip to end of sidebar.
.End of sidebar. Return to start of sidebar.
But Ledger's sister Kate yesterday called such claims a "load of rubbish", adding: "We are very close to Michelle and are in discussions with her to have a family get-together."
Williams and Ledger split in late 2007, a few months before the actor accidentally overdosed in New York.
WTF?
But Ledger's sister Kate yesterday called such claims a "load of rubbish"...
DUH!
The comments reignite the persistent rumours of tensions between Williams and the Ledger family.
I wouldn't be surprised if that was true.
First M. trapps Heath with an "accidental" pregnancy, then when he finally leaves her and hooks up with Gemma, she makes it harder for him to see little M..
No wonder his family supposedly is indifferet towards Michelle. I'm confident that in a couple years we will find out more about what happened between Heath and Michelle and I wouldn't be surprised if the cause of break up wasn't only his alleged heavy addiction to drugs that the media wanted us all to believe.
When everyone thought that Heath and Michelle were engaged, Kate Ledger released a statement that they are not engaged and have no plans either (I bet it was Heath who had no plans). Michelle was never Heath's "former fiance", like she's often refered to in media. His girlfriend of less than 3 years and baby mama is what she was.
