We seriously didn't think Jake Gyllenhaal's campy costume for the upcoming Disney flick Prince of Persia: The Story of Jake's Pecs could get more guffaw-worthy (despite the pretty damn doable bod itself, minus overdone Fabio trappings), but then we saw J.G.'s Lego action figure. Sorry, folks, we don't even get a pint-size superhero-esque action figure of chiseled Gyllen-hon to play with, but this supercute and totally harmless plastic children's toy instead? And it pretty much captures the doability—or lack thereof—of present-day Jakey perfectly.
Oh no?
Try as we might, we just can't drool over a guy who's become as vanilla as the soy latte we always catch him sipping alongside Reese. Manically manicured biceps 'n' abs in themselves don't make a real man, and neither does prancing around in a supersilly getup with an even more impractical piece of arm candy. We so know Gyllen-babe would rather jump back into indie film land and do his less pumped-up, more moody thing. He's so damn good at it, remember?
Is being a big, sweaty H'wood He-Man that important to ya, Jake? 'Cause this Lego figure almost pulls it off better than you have so far.
Please. For the sake of those three of us left who still swoon over ya, Jake, replace the gym and the GF with your true self. It was the hottest thing round there for a while.

«Oldest ‹Older 2001 – 2161 of 2161Yes, women's love for vampires is in fact just a displacement of our lust for...gay men. What, you didn't know? This guy did:
Here's what Stephen Marche says in Esquire: "Vampires have overwhelmed pop culture because young straight women want to have sex with gay men. Not all young straight women, of course, but many, if not most, of them." Well, who can argue with such an authoritative statement? It's like arguing with the friend who refuses to believe everyone isn't a leetle bit gay and just smiles smugly at your denial if and when you try to argue.
...
Edward, the romantic hero of the Twilight series, is a sweet, screwed-up high school kid, and at the beginning of his relationship with Bella, she is attracted to him because he is strange, beautiful, and seemingly repulsed by her. This exact scenario happened several times in my high school between straight girls and gay guys who either hadn't figured out they were gay or were still in the closet. Twilight's fantasy is that the gorgeous gay guy can be your boyfriend, and for the slightly awkward teenage girls who consume the books and movies, that's the clincher. Vampire fiction for young women is the equivalent of lesbian porn for men: Both create an atmosphere of sexual abandon that is nonthreatening. That's what everybody wants, isn't it? Sex that's dangerous and safe at the same time, risky but comfortable, gooey and violent but also traditional and loving. In the bedroom, we want to have one foot in the twenty-first century and another in the nineteenth.

I wonder if Catherine Keener and Michelle are still friends? They seemed pretty close during promo of SNY (holding hands, hugging and stuff). Probably not...
Btw. Miss Keener is one of Jake's co-stars in Nailed. :)

A scene from Lovely & Amazing (2001) Jordan (Jake Gyllenhaal) is conducting an interesting job interview :-)
Catherine and Jake in Lovely & Amazing
^^Great scene. Jake used to be so cute (and I actually liked him better as an actor).
In the last couple of years Jake has been blah. But maybe it's just a phase and he'll go back to his old form again? I'm hopefull.
I'm working on it!
When I dance they call me Macarena
And the boys say that I´m buena
They all want me, they can't have me
So they all come and dance beside me
Move with me, jam with me
And if you're good I'll take you home with me
Ay!
LOL. As usual you're behind the times with everything Jake. That song is sooo yesterday.
I belonged to the disco club in the early 90s so what do you expect?
But maybe it's just a phase and he'll go back to his old form again?
Maybe it's just a phase?
Dear Ted:
After reading your article about Austin Nichols and Sophia Bush, I have to wonder what is up with those One Tree Hill ladies. Tell me, is Danneel Harris and Jensen Ackles' relationship comparable to Sophia and Austin's? And if so, would it be fair to say that Jared Padalecki is the Jake Gyllenhaal to Jensen's Austin?
—Curious
Dear Telenovela:
Whatever you're drinking, honey, I want some of that!
Dear Ted:
I read somewhere that either the director or someone on set of Walk the Line said that Reese Witherspoon and Joaquin Phoenix fell in love during filming. Any truth to these rumors, and do they still talk? Big, big hug to you from across the ocean!
—Dng
Dear Great Question:
Is that why Joaquin went off the deep end? Nah, probably not—even she isn't the sweet fix he constantly needs.
Dear Ted:
I'm sure you won't stay single long (not that there is anything wrong with that if that's what you desire!). Please settle a bet. We've noticed that Austin Nichols has some stubble on his face. So tell us...would you say he has a "beard" or not?

I read about that too. I actually really think Joaquin had a thing for her. Poor thing probably wasn't sane due to his drug use.
Maybe it's just a phase?
That'll be how old Jake will be when he comes out.
Poor thing probably wasn't sane due to his drug use.
All those drugs must have left him blind and deaf too.

The only thing that doesn't look good on Jake are the hats he's sporting lately. IMO they don't suit him at all.
Article about a new documentary on tabloids making up celebrity gossip
i'm not crazy about some of the baggy shirts he's worn since Reeking, like all those lumberjack numbers.
Some of the plaid lumberjack shirts had decorative birds embroidered on them. (no not hunting birds lol)
Remember Jake wanted to be a bird. He wears a lot of bird things. I wonder if he has pet birds.
Jake looks good in any color. Bastard.
Hot pink? Lime green?

Making their way around town, Adam Lambert and boyfriend Drake LaBry were spotted out at a local 7-Eleven in Los Angeles on Tuesday (October 13).
The “American Idol” hunk ad his beau shared a big kiss in the car before then heading off to the Star Magazine party.
Adam Lambert and Drake LaBry: 7-Eleven Smooch
YOU CAN'T DO THAT IN PUBLIC! Oh, wait ...
Adam and Drake walking arm in arm - I love Drake acting like a "girl", not trying to butch it up :)
Everytime I see Adam and his boyfriend out together I fall in love with him all over again.
Want to see my penis?
Sorry Jake, I only like guys who have a pair of balls to go with it.
Wow, that story on faked gossip is sure something. I even remember that one about Wino's hair catching fire.
Too bad they didnt' call American tabloids, I'd love to see which ones would be willing to publish stuff like that. I always think of the British tabloids as having a worse reputation when it comes to the truth.
Sorry Jake, I only like guys who have a pair of balls to go with it.
*Fuck!* Nobody's perfect!
His balls are on my trophy shelf.
Fuck off, bitch!
Is that what Lance told you Jake.
Adam Lambert and Drake LaBry at 7-Eleven: Probably buying Slurpees, Big Gulps and condoms.
I told Jake "Get me off, bitch!"

Oh do go on! Rub it in!
Adam Lambert plants a kiss on his boyfriend, interior designer Drake LaBry, in the car before grabbing some food from their local 7-Eleven store on Tuesday (October 13) in Los Angeles. Looks like the couple ran into R&B singer Brandy Norwood at the 7-Eleven. Um, random!!!
Later that night, Adam and Drake hit up the 5th Anniversary Party of Star Magazine at Bardot.

AUCH! :D
Wow, that story on faked gossip is sure something. I even remember that one about Wino's hair catching fire.
Spreading BS stories is so easy:
A story about singer Amy Winehouse's hair catching fire from a faulty fuse spread across the world after it was printed in the Mirror on 21 March under the headline "Amy Winehouse in hair fire drama". The Starsuckers researcher gave the newspaper fictional details of the story, which she said she had "heard" from an unnamed friend who was at the singer's house.
"Fuses blew as Wino jammed with mates at the house in north London – and sparks lit up her beehive," the Mirror reported. "We always knew you were a hothead, Amy."
Two days later, the same story appeared in the Daily Star, which had also received a Starsuckers call, with an embellishment about how a friend of the singer "ended up punching flamey Amy's head to put out the blaze". It reappeared on several celebrity gossip websites, a New York Post blog and, eventually, the pages of the Times of India – the widest-circulation English-language newspaper in the world.
Too bad they didnt' call American tabloids, I'd love to see which ones would be willing to publish stuff like that.
Every single one of them! lol

OK! cover reminds me of "Jake moves in" Us Reekly fiction.
More than 80 entertainers and political figures including Julia Roberts, Robert De Niro, Anne Hathaway, Mayor Gavin Newsom, Scarlett Johansson, Chris Pine, Jessica Biel, Natalie Portman, Bradley Cooper, Lance Bass, Dave Matthews, Jared Leto, and Charlie Sheen have contributed signatures and/or enhancements to a set of "Defend Equality - Love Unites" original prints with a design by Shepard Fairey which became well-known during California's campaign against Proposition 8.
The project (undertaken in partnership with entertainment networking group HOMOtracker and its annual fundraiser ‘FallOut’) will go up for auction on November 10 on the website Charity Buzz and will benefit the grassroots marriage equality group FAIR. The group is also holding an event in West Hollywood on November 12 at which the prints will be on display.

My guess Jake will be no where near West Hollywood come Nov. 12th. He wouldnt have the guts. But God I wish he prove me wrong. After being such a huge supporter of gay right s for so long why has Jake turned his back.
He probably won't be in WeHo, Tom. You're right. Word on the street is he'll still be in Pittsburgh filming. Damn that work thing.
I can't believe there are people waiting for Jake to back gay rights. He doesn't have the guts to walk alone and hangs on to a beard. The homophobic mama's boy!
You got that right 10:13. Everyone in HW could come out and he'll still be clinging to mommie and Reese's skirts.

So with the new pap law, we will know pictures are staged if they appear after January. PR is probably puling their hair out. Jake and Reese will have to start attending public functions to get noticed. Tweets that someone saw them in a hallway don't bring people to theaters.
Didn't they say Reese's movie wrapped weeks ago. Why is she the only one doing reshoots. Those are never considered a good sign.
The new California law makes it a crime to take and sell unauthorized photos of celebrities in "personal or familial activity."
98% of paparazzi pictures are photos of celebrities in "personal or familial activity."
I don't get it - what authorize mean in this case? Paparazzi will ask permission to take pictures?

I hate it when people say they're against accepting gays because it's not in the bible. Neither is electricity, fast food, cars, zippers, bicycles etc. And all the animal sacrifices - shit. And what about the Adam and Eve story?! Eve was the only female so she procreated with her sons, or if she had daughters they screwed their brothers and their dad?!!

I watched Breach last night, with Ryan as the lead. Last time I saw in in anything was Cruel Intentions years ago.
God, he is just a big BLANK on screen. I had no idea he couldn't actually act.
His co-star (don't know the actor's name) was so good as the Creepy Boss. He entered a room, or just stood there and he was Creepy Boss. Ryan can deliver the lines competently (angry line, sad line), but when he's not talking his face shows no expression. He's just Ryan standing there pouting waiting for his next line.
How did this guy get to be a HW star??

Are you sure you weren't watching Rendition with Jake Gyllenhaal?
With or without Rendition Jake is much better actor than Ryan, I think there is no question about it.
20 Best Signs at the National Equality March
These are great, thanks for posting!
OT I saw an old ep of The Unit last night (first time seeing the ep) called "Non-Permissive Environment" and the ending was great. The undercover team of 4 gets stuck in Spain during an assassination and they split up and have to find their own ways out asap. They're all straight and married btw.. but one guy Bob, (played by Scott Foley, yum) his only way out is via a rich old gay man who owns a yacht. So he flirts with him at a bar and then he asks the old man why he's going out with trash when he could have him, and the old man says okay let's get on my boat and get outta here.
At the end it shows the 4 team members exchanging stories on how they each made it out of the country, and they ask Bob what lengths he had to go to, to get away (they don't know that he had to hitch a yacht ride with a rich old gay man) and he hesitates and then he finally says, does it really matter?! ~ LOL it's pretty much implied that he had to have sex with the man. I miss that show.
And what about the Adam and Eve story?! Eve was the only female so she procreated with her sons, or if she had daughters they screwed their brothers and their dad?!!
Minor details! lol
he hesitates and then he finally says, does it really matter?! ~ LOL it's pretty much implied that he had to have sex with the man
You got to do what you got to do!
LOL 5:35 I'm still laughing about it.. at first he hangs around with some woman hoping he can escape with her but when they're at a bar and he overhears that the old rich gay guy who's walking out the door has a yacht, he tells her "Sorry, bye, I'm gay!"
I'm gay! Sorry! Bye!
I wish I could say that when pushy women pinch my butt!
He's just Ryan standing there pouting waiting for his next line. How did this guy get to be a HW star??
People like his pouting face? :)
I hate Ryan's pouting face. He looks like, and probably is, a douchebag.
I immensly dislike the Chin, but him laughing about her body after she popped out two of his brats is LOW.
Reese is a pretentious witch and Ryan is a dumb, mean asshole. And Jake is in the middle. Maybe he ain't better than them though...
^^Jake started to act like an asshole towards fans more since he's with Chinny. Definitely not a good influence on him.
Jake isn't 14 years old, the chin can't influence his behavior so easy.
But I think bearding and the pressure he's under can make him angry, depressed and irritable, and that would definitely influence his behaviour.
I think Jake's like Brad Pitt (who's also sagittarius btw.) and takes on much of the personality of the new woman (in Jake's case maybe beard) he's with. I'm not the only one who noticed it.
They are both also a tad wimpy. Jake's a better actor out of the two though.
People do not change their personality because they date someone, sagittarius or any other sign.
I'm not the only one who noticed it.
Yes, you are. LOL
^^Nope, I read it a couple of times on ontd. It was interesting, because I thought the exact same thing. You can believe me or not, IDC. :)
in Jake's case maybe beard
Maybe?!?
Sorry, that disqualifies you from making conclusions about Jake's changed behaviour :)
Maybe?!?
Sorry, that disqualifies you from making conclusions about Jake's changed behaviour :)
Claiming to know all about Jake's relationship with Reese makes you not very credible.
There's no way to know what's really going on between them.
6:25 when did you hear Ryan laughed about Reese's body? He never did that and the Howard Stern show transcripts are online so if that's what you're thinking of you should quote the portions that prove he's a mean asshole. He never said a mean thing about Reese. His face seems to be what people are basing their assumptions of his personality on. He actually seems like a very laid back nice guy in interviews.
7:21 AM - There was a BI (from Ted) about Reese and Ryan some time ago that said he told her that her body isn't as nice as most of other actresses bodies. I'm sure some other posters here know about that.
It's not his face that leads me to believe he's a douche. Although he really has a punchable face, that midget of a "man" and his midget ex too. LOL.
Claiming to know all about Jake's relationship with Reese makes you not very credible.
No one ever said he or she knows all about Jake's "relationship" with Reese, but it's easy to see that they are fauxmancing.
You're claiming to notice that beard changed Jake's personality. How could you know that?

You're claiming to notice that beard changed Jake's personality. How could you know that?
I noticed that he's not as friendly to fans. Though there were encounters pre Reeke where he wasn't very nice, but it became more frequent ever since he's "with" her. I'm sure you read some of the recent negative fan encounters. They were even posted on ihj and fans were disappointed because of it.

^^Yes, these who, Ryan and Reese, are so annoying. I can't stand either of them. Never did.
I'm just disappointed Jake has to do with them, at least with her. Ugh.
Ok, rant over for today. :)

Easy to explain - Jake was a happier person before bearding with the chin.
I found another interesting pic. What is Ryan telling Jake?
Jake looking not amused
@ SAG awards 2006.
Ryan: You look especially lovely tonight.
Jake: I know!
^^Nah. Jake didn't look amused. I don't think it was a compliment Ryan gave him. ;)
Link please 7:30. I think you're full of shit.
Ryan hadn't met Abbie yet when that picture was taken at the Golden Globes right?
"Link please 7:30. I think you're full of shit."
I don't have the link. Maybe some other poster has the link?
Btw. why do you have to attack me verbally? What did I do to you? How old are you?
Some posters here seem really dumb and primitive.
Ryan hadn't met Abbie yet when that picture was taken at the Golden Globes right?
Jake didn't attend the GG's. Just an after party. This pic was taken at the SAG awards in 2006.
Ryan hadn't met Abbie yet when that picture was taken at the Golden Globes right?
I don't know, but according to rumors Reese's marriage was over in 2005.
Golden Globes - There were rumors that Jake was jealous that Heath got most of the attention for the film and was a bit cranky because of it. Rumor has it, that's the reason he din't attend the Globes. Though they said that he had to work for Zodiac and that's why he couldn't attend, but when BBM won 4 Globes, he suddenly showed up at an after award party. Anne who wasn't nominated either was there to support James, Ang, Heath, Michelle etc...
If Jake wanted more attention or was pissed off about others getting more attention he would have attended the Globes, one of the biggest industry events.
If Jake wanted more attention or was pissed off about others getting more attention he would have attended the Globes, one of the biggest industry events.
I guess we have to agree to disagree on that. I think if you are pissed that the Globes overlooked you, you don't attend the event out of disappointment and what not. But that's just my opinion.
Anne who wasn't nominated either was there to support James, Ang, Heath, Michelle etc...
^^
Who is James?
James Schamus, Brokeback Mountain producer.
I agree with you, 8:16.
Jake and Heath’s friendship probably wasn’t all rosy like the press made it out to be. ;)
You can't be serious, there was no reason for Jake to be jealous of Heath and no reason to spoil their friendship.
Ryan attended the SAG Awards because Crash was nominated and won the ensemble award.
James Schamus, Brokeback Mountain producer.
LOL!! You are right! I'm such a dumb ;D
Here's one unplesant Jake encounter:
at around 5 p.m. the special premiere cars for Zodiac were drivin up the hotel which was outside Cannes in another small town called Antibes. No chance to meet Jakey up there it's impossible to meet somone up at this hotel.
So I was waiting for the cars down at the Croisette I knew they had to pass me when the cars ame I was runnin around 1.5 miles next to the cars most stars oben the window to sign smth for their fans but Jake didn't even open the window. Mark Ruffalo was very very nice. When they had to hold cause of some traffic jam he has seen my picture and opened the window immediately and signed my picture and personalised it for me he wished me a nice evening and so on cool guy!
Jake was rigt behind him in another car but he saws that there is someone who wants to have an autograph he turned around and showed me his back.
thougt that he maybe didn't see me but he did the same when they were leaving the premiere...
when he arrived at the airport some other ppl siad that he didn't sign anything. which is not normal I mean it's Jake he is always the friendliest guy ever...
Dunno why he was acting like he did.
So I'm kinda confused about him...
http://iheartjake.suddenlaunch.com/index.cgi?board=encounters&action=display&num=1179910146
I wonder, was Jake ever really fan friendly? I don't follow him that long. Some 4 years maybe. And the fan encounters during this time were always different, sometimes ok, sometimes not. Maybe he had a better rep. before he became more famous? Are there any long-term fans posting on WFT2 who know?
Ryan hadn't met Abbie yet when that picture was taken at the Golden Globes right?
The R/R kissing picture was taken at the Golden Globes. It was before he shot "Stop Loss" with Abbie.
The picture of Jake and Ryan was taken at the SAGs.
Two most important factors for fan's "Jake was great or Jake was terrible" are perception and expetations. To make things more complicated, some fans are great people and some are crazy. And some love writing fiction.
Why would Jake's fans who met him think Mark Ruffalo, Ben Kingsley or Hank Azaria were all much nicer than their idol? Unless it's how it really is. There’re already too many unpleasant encounters to dismiss as Jake having a bad day or the fans having too high expectations. I really think he isn’t too fan friendly.
I think he has always had his off and on days from day one. He may have been more fan friendly in the begginning. I have heard both good and bad things for years.
There was a thread on IHJ about a photoshoot jake was doing for GQ, around 2004,I think it's the one with the red muscle -tee. Anyway the shoot took place at some restaurant in NY, it may have been Babb0 (sp?). Well the person said that Jake wanted his veins to show on his arms and wanted to do some push-ups before hand. He ordered the waitstaff out because he didn't want them to see him doing it and didn't want them back in until the whole shhot was over. I think GQ only reserved a certain area and the restauraunt was supposed to stay open, Anyway yhey complained that he was full of himself and that the waitstaff missed making $$$. I think he got away with it because his pal Mario owed the place and Chris worked there.
I don't think it was in the encounter thread, may have been somewhere else but it was on IHJ.
There was a thread on IHJ about a photoshoot jake was doing for GQ, around 2004
I love Jakey Poo stories, but only when they make sense. That restaurant had just one room? Why would waitstaff be there during the photo shoot?
P.S. All they had to do is schedule the photo shoot early in the morning - no waitstaff, no missed $$$, no fuss. I think they thought of that without my help :)
Well the person said that Jake wanted his veins to show on his arms and wanted to do some push-ups before hand.
This is even embarrassing to read about. LOL.
Jake is Mr. Vain. ;)
^^Or Mr. Vein. LOL.
You can't be serious, there was no reason for Jake to be jealous of Heath and no reason to spoil their friendship.
Jealous or not, he still loved Heath. There were probably ups and downs, but I don't think anything spoiled their friendship. :)
Don't be surprised - Jake is an actor AND (gay) men are very visual AND gay men competition is fierce :)
I may have got some of the details wrong, but I'm postive that it was posted on IHJ.
I think they said that the shoot took longer than planned due to his push-ups and they missed the lunch crowd because he didn't want anyone to be around period. They may have only have meant to be there for the morning but it sounded that it went into the lunch time.
Again, the owner Mario a pal of his may have allowed it even though it may have caused a problem. Not making it up and I don't have time to look for it on IHJ.
I think they said that the shoot took longer than planned due to his push-ups
Come on, Jake did push-ups for two hours?!
There was a thread on IHJ about a photoshoot jake was doing for GQ, around 2004,I think it's the one with the red muscle -tee.
I'm not an expert, but no one can convince me that GQ professionals needed hours and hours for this kind of photo shoot:
GQ: Session #2
Now I remember! The person said that GQ had reserved a room/space in the restaurant for the shoot. Anyway he wanted to do a few push-ups so that his veins would show, the waitstaff was of course curious and kept taking a peep. He complained and said that he didn't want people looking at him. I think they said that were told to go about your business, but he insisted they wait outside and they did. It must have been before they opened of course, but they claimed that the place opened later than usual because of his prima donna actions. I don't blame him for not wanting people to stare at him doing that but it sounded like he demanded that they leave and he sounded arrogant.
Duh! Jake couldn't concentrate with 5 cute guys checking him out.
Didn't take hours and hours, just longer than usual because at the last minute Jake wanted to make sure his veins were bulging.
As you can see from that he was showing off his guns and that clearly is Babboo. The person may have made too much of it but it does sound like diva behavior.
^^Ha! ;)

OK, it took 15 minutes longer, but "they missed the lunch crowd" sounds like BS.
What?
All this drama, missed money, hungry customers, hurt feelings, push-ups, curious waiters and all we got is ONE lousy photo???

I look spectacular!
I think it was more than one photo, it was a cover shoot.
I don't think it was missed time 15 minutes or so but they were taken aback at his behavior. They always thought that he was Mr. Nice guy but he came across as nasty and self entitled and crabby. Funny I have heard the same thing about Maggie on occasion as well.

Who are "they"? Some IHJ forum poster?
Yeah, it was a poster on IHJ. So Jake throws his weight around and acts snotty sometimes, big deal all actors do.
Of course Jake's personality has changed since Reeke. Just look at him. Dour, moody, stooped shoulders, smiles only when R is not around. The contrast is remarkable. He now comes off as a pussy whipped momma's boy.
