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.

You'll shoot my eye out!
The story behind the latest LOAD (lol) fan pic.
As previously stated, about two hours into my wait, I saw Jake. He left out the side entrance. I yelled to him if I could get a quick picture with him. He replied, “Sorry man, going to lunch.” I then said, “Please I’ve been waiting for hours.” He then replied, “Yeah, and I’ve been working for hours. It’s a rough life.” He then got in car, and stared at me, and smiled through his window as he pulled away. At first I was kind of shocked, because I felt he was being rude for no reason. I realized later that he was kidding with me, but that’s beside point.
Poor guy.. Jake wasn't "kidding" - that's the way he is now.
While waiting, voice of various Simpsons characters/ actor, Hank Azaria walked by me, and simply stopped right beside me. I looked at him and said, “Hank?” He looked at me, and I asked if I could have a picture with him. He was very generous and agreed. He asked my name, and shook my hand as well.
Ok I love Hank Azaria now.
I waited around for roughly another hour. I then saw the car that Jake left in, coming towards me. I walked over to the entrance and waited as he stepped out of the car. He actually had one of his dogs with him! Anyway, he walked out, and walked over to me, and I asked again if I could have a picture. This time he agreed. He apologized for before, and when I thanked him, he simply replied, “No problem, no problem.”
Luke didn't ask me for a picture. *cries*

You got it wrongly.
That only proves that HW people have a mental development age of 10.
Okay, this cracked me up. Jon Stewart did a bit on DADT and Obama's failure to repeal it, and he entitled the story "The Gay After Tomorrow".
LOL
We've all seen first hand that Jake is indeed a follower, not the leader we had hoped for. The ultimate mama's boy, politely doing what he is told.
That story about Maggie does not ring true. For one, the rags say Jake has proposed, what, six or seven times now, but gets sent to his room without dinner every time. Not that I really believe that. PR getting its story mixed up once again. They need a continuity check.
I know this is stupid but I want to know how tall Jake really is.
If you compare pictures with the dude, Hank looks a little taller than Jake. Hank is stated to be 5 ft 11 1/2 inches. Jake is stated to be 6 ft. We don't know about their shoes.
Some woman stated that he was a little shorter then she expected. But some reporter mentioned he was tall. When he is with most women (not Maggie) he looks pretty tall. With men, not really. I wonder why.
We may never know his private sex life but we should be able to find out his true height!
5 ft 11 1/2 inches
I can't believe they put in the 1/2 inch!
I'm guessing Jake is probably 5'10" or 5'10" and 1/2" !!
9:06 PM, man did Jake become weird.
Probably the "bitchy Reese" influence.
He then replied, “Yeah, and I’ve been working for hours. It’s a rough life.” He then got in car, and stared at me
I wonder if he flared his nostrils.
Some fans have no dignity. LOL.
I've wondered about Jake's height too since Heath was 6'1", and he always seemed a couple of inches taller than Jake. I am thinking of the shots of them at various photocalls and premieres.
Poor kid. Jake was probably just having an asshole moment like we all do sometimes, but at least he recognized it and made amends.
Jake's been having a lot of asshole moments. Especially since associating with the Chin.
I'm a butt pirate, what do you expect?!

What an intelligent little girl. :)
^^I think she has a crush on Jake. LOL. ;)
Everyone finds me irresistible!
^^Well, at least little girls. ;)
And big boys!
Now Jake just needs big girls and little boys and he covered the whole demograhic.
PoP will probably appeal to big gils (advanture and love story) and little boys (based on computer game). Agree?
Question, does anyone know why Just Jared didn't update his site since yesterday?
JJ updated the site. My bad. Never mind. :)

Can't imagine big girls being interested in video game based CGI advanture, but little boys should love it.
From E!online:
The Big Picture
Gloomy Gyllenhaal
Why so sad, Jake? Surely, shooting Love and Other Drugs can't be that much of a drag?
On the set of his new movie, Jake Gyllenhaal looks like he is having ‘one of those days’.
There is something in Jake's face expression that reminds me of Bradley Cooper (just this picture).
I'm guessing Jake is probably 5'10" or 5'10" and 1/2" !!
Jacob Benjamin Gyllenhaal
Height - 6' (1.83 m)
Jacob Benjamin Gyllenhaal
Height while lying down - 9" (22.86 cm)
I always wonder how accurate IMDB is, I think actors fudge it.
Austin used to be listed as 6'2 when he was clearly taller than that--now it lists him as 6'3 and 1/2. I'm guessing that now he is on a series and getting regular work he doesn't have to worry about being rejected because he's too tall. I always figured Jake was more like 5'11 and rounds up, some of those pictures of him with Austin it looks like he towers over Jake.

He doesn't mention the movie, just uses that title for his report on Obama not acting on his promise to get rid of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. I think it's funny because I always thought DADT was awfully close to TDAT. Got to wonder though if one his writers is a Jake fan who knows all about the rumors. ;)
I'm sure making movies is tiring, but Jake just sounds like a snob in that story from the fan. If the parking lot had been full of fans maybe I could understand it, but one guy asking for one picture?
He really is turning into Reese.
Thanks 10:27 AM, looking forward to the video.

Reese, shut the fuck up!
Wipe those crumbs off your mouth you sloppy eater and goddammit look at me adoringly and hold my hand - I hired that pap for a reason.
Does the fan in the pic have lip/chin piercing studs? I hope he doesn't read this lol, but he looks like a big gurl. Might of been why Jake was reluctant to be seen with him.. or disappointed that he was the only fan waiting for him.
LOL Jake had only 1 fan waiting to see him and it was a big bottom gurl.
The Reekeffect!
I wondered if Jake didnt' want to be photographed with a guy. The Chin doesn't like it when he's photographed looking all girly with another man.

Dear Ted:
I happen to not agree with the current group-think on the ID of Toothy Tile and Grey Goose; not that I think the current guess is not a good possibility, but the clues don't seem to mesh. Since people on the message boards are doing everything possible to force a fit, I came up with this fantasy scenario: You, Ted, are Grey Goose, and you so desperately want T.T. out of the closet that you publish the B.V.'s, get into an argument with your lovah, and then have amazing makeup sex which gets you through till next time. That would probably make Margo Baby Tile. Yes, I know it's a fantasy, but I hope it gives you a chuckle. XXOO

I haven't posted here in months. Does anyone still have an interest in Jake or do people just come here to fill a void? The Jake I used to love is long gone.
Trolly, you always give yourself away by saying things like "to fill a void". But what the heck, I'll answer anyway.
I'm here because I find it fascinating to watch the trials of a deeply closeted HW actor, because I still have a sliver of hope that the old Jake will find a way to bust out (hoping PoP is a flop, otherwise don't think that will happen) and because I find it fun to goof around with the others here.

THE LISTS: Top 10 actors under 30
...
And believe me when I tell you it was one of the trickiest lists I’ve ever compiled on this site. The more I contemplated recent successes and breakthroughs, the longer the shortlist of candidates grew, spanning Academy-endorsed names already on the A-list (Natalie Portman, Jake Gyllenhaal) to quirkier talents from the indie and foreign sectors (Sam Riley, Emilie Dequenne). I like to think that the fact that I struggled as much as I did to narrow the list down to 10 names bodes very well for the future.
To make things slightly easier on myself, I imposed several restrictions on myself, beginning with the under-30 qualification. I also decided that every actor on the list had to have wowed me on more than one occasion, whether in film or another medium, eliminating the possibility of single-performance stunners like Riley or Jarvis.
I kept the focus on potentially great actors rather than evident great movie stars: an Anne Hathaway, for example, has star quality oozing out her ears, but I’m not yet convinced she has the same depth of talent these 10 do. Yet. And I limited myself to actors who are currently on song (or were, the last time we saw them): Scarlett Johansson, say, would have been a cinch for this list four years ago, but she’s been letting her gifts lie dangerously dormant ever since.

We’d been aware of her ability since she acted the entire “Dawson’s Creek” cast off the screen back in the 90s, and congratulated ourselves on spotting her when she landed an Oscar nod for sterling work in “Brokeback Mountain,” but 2008 was the year when Michelle Williams formally made her bid to be the next Great American Actress. Veering from devastating, microscopic detailed character work in “Wendy and Lucy” to nimble semi-comic riffing in the “Synecdoche, New York” ensemble, with a great work in the not-so-great “Incendiary” somewhere in between, she demonstrated both fierce chops and canny taste in projects. Next up: the plum supporting role (read the book and see why) in Scorsese’s “Shutter Island.”

Michelle - so much people seem to have so much hope for her acting career. We will see how it'll turn out.
I do see a good future for Ryan, Carey and Abbie.
I'm not so sure about Ryan, but a big yes to JGL.
This is what UV said:
I'm glad the guy got to meet Jake and have a photo. It's a shame he had to wait for it. I don't think I would have stuck around after that kind of a response from Jake. But I'm glad the story had a happy ending.
I know it doesn't sound that bad when you consider some of the things people say, but still, just the fact that she questioned his behavior.
Bad fan!
To be fair, Michelle was really good in W & L, better than in BBM imo.
BAD FAN!
I'm surprised that the guy waited around for Jake to come back. After the rude way Jake acted to the guy's request for a photo. I would have left. The guy made himself look pathetic by waiting around for Jake to get back from lunch and asking a second time for a pic.
^^IA.
Wow, even UV made a crack about Jake's behavior with the fan who wanted a photo.
Jake was a schmuck, but he redeemed himself with that apology.

Jake then got in car, and stared at me, and smiled through his window as he pulled away. At first I was kind of shocked, because I felt he was being rude for no reason. I realized later that he was kidding with me
I think he was intentionally rude, but realized it was unfair and smiled to weaken his rudeness. IMO.

Are You the Next Heath Ledger?
Is there some new Aussie eye candy ready to hit it big in H'wood and compete with Hugh Jackman's highly respected, droolworthy abs? Could be!
Australians in Film is taking submissions for its second annual Heath Ledger scholarship, which provides the winner with $10,000, a round-trip ticket to L.A. from Aus and a Showcast VIP Package, which includes being pimped out to all the big-name casting directors in T-town.
Though we totally love the support the Aussie film community gives its actors, it makes us wonder if scoring a scholarship like that really helps in the long run...
Sure, it's nice to have some extra moolah and attention pointed toward you when you're starting out, but it surely takes more than just winning a scholarship to make it in this biz.
Did Heath have anything like this when he started? Nope.
All he had was his talent and determination. You've also gotta look like Heath or Naomi Watts or Hugh Jackman or Nicole Kidman (well, in her heyday) to get anybody to give you a second glance. Hope all the applicants realize that simply winning ain't everything. Just ask Taylor Hicks.
Apply here if you're a struggling Aussie actor who thinks you've got the goods!
Awful Truth
Hope all the applicants realize that simply winning ain't everything.
Good luck to the winner, he/she is going to need it.

That woman ruined her face with plastic surgery. Shame.
I find her a very cold actress, never got her appeal.
he redeemed himself with that apology
Maybe.. but he doesn't look exactly thrilled in the pic. IMO he has an arrogant snotty look on his face like he hated that the guy was still there waiting when he got back and omg he had to talk to him and do a pic this time. I mean c'mon - he could have smiled a little bit. Jake's expression is like it was torture and a big sacrifice to stand there for a minute.
I find her a very cold actress, never got her appeal.
I'm not a fan either. But she used to be cute and i liked her in some films.
I like the comment on the guy's site who thought the person standing behind him was a dog lol. It really does look like an Irish setter lol!
I think its some woman's bun or a ponytail. LOL
I was wondering why Atticus would bark like crazy when Jake was leaving the car? Is he that possesive? I've never heard of that.
If Jake doesn't want to be bothered by the "little people" he should just grab lunch from the food tables and eat in his trailer.
Maybe he went home for a booty call!
Jake would be smiling in that case ;)

Charlize Theron: National Equality March for Gay Rights!
Charlize Theron is throwing her support behind this weekend’s National Equality March, which hopes to gain equal protection for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people across America.
“Every step of this march is another important step in moving forward to making the United States truly a country of equal rights,” Charlize tells JustJared.com exclusively. “Just like any other civil right, everyone deserves the choice to have their love and commitment recognized through marriage.”
The National Equality March is scheduled for this Sunday (October 11) and begins at 12:00 noon. The rally at approximately at 2PM on the West Lawn of the Capitol building. For more info on this cause, visit EqualityAcrossAmerica.org.
FYI: Charlize is deeply committed to this cause but but won’t be able to attend National Equality March this weekend because of a work commitment. Lady Gaga will be there to lend her support (she even made a call-to-action video for the march).

Disney's Rich Ross: Hollywood's first openly gay studio chairman
Disney has long been the most gay friendly studio in Hollywood, having had a couple of gay production chiefs over the years, most recently Nina Jacobson, now an independent producer after being forced out in a studio purge several years ago. The studio's theme parks have allowed unofficial Gay Day celebrations for years, prompting a host of venemous attacks from various Christian right anti-gay zealots.
But Disney now has a really big first -- Rich Ross, Hollywood's first openly gay studio chief. Ross, who had been head of the Disney Channel, hasn't been giving interviews since he was named studio chief Monday. So I started reading old Ross interviews, eager to discover what his creative tastes were like, figuring it might give me insight into the kind of movies he'd want to make. That led me to a story from this year by one of my colleagues, Dawn Chmielewski, who did an in-depth profile of Ross and his tenure at Disney TV.
I found this: "The 47-year-old Ross and his partner of more than 20 years, Adam Sanderson, live in the Hollywood Hills and have no children of their own. However, he maintains a close relationship with the 14- and 10-year-old daughters of his former roommate and best friend from Fordham Law, who serve as an informal focus group." After a little more hunting, I found that the Advocate has just posted a small story, titled: "Disney Goes Gay with New Top Exec."
Still, judging from a quick canvas I made of gay filmmakers and executives, the news about Ross was something of a revelation, even in the gay community. That may be because people in the film world don't always keep track of TV executives, especially ones making children's programming. One filmmaker was aware that Ross was gay, but others I spoke to knew little about his professional life, much less his private life. As one executive put it: "Every day showbiz offers a new surprise."
But is it a good surprise? "Absolutely," says producer Howard Rosenman, who's not only openly gay but played the role of David Goodstein, an early owner of the Advocate, in last year's Oscar-nominated film "Milk."
"It's not just the first time ever, but it's the greatest thing ever," he told me jubilantly. "After all these years, what finally matters is -- show me the money! It doesn't matter what you do with your [penis], just what you do with your job. It's a new era in Hollywood. Rich Ross will only be judged by how well he makes the product and and how commercial it is, not who he is in his private life. He's obviously already been a big success at the Disney Channel, so he clearly knows what he's doing."
Disney hasn't exactly been playing up that Ross is gay. But there are two ways of interpreting that. It's possible that Disney is hoping no one makes a fuss or that none of the business reporters who will eventually interview Ross will make his personal life an issue. But it's also possible that after all these years, the sexual orientation of a major entertainment executive isn't big news anymore. That alone would be a huge step forward, especially since previous generations of studio executives have been forced to remain in the closet, or at least believed it prudent, fearing a public outcry.
But I'll let Rosenman have the last word on this. "You know what I really think?" he said. "It's about time!"

Third possibility, Disney wants to keep anything gay as much on the down low as possible. Don't want to worry those fundies and homophobes. I don't expect Disney to be using opnely gay actors in their movies anytime soon for the same reason.
We're looking at just another gay man supressing his own.
Disney's Rich Ross: Hollywood's first openly gay studio chairman
Hooray!
After all these years, what finally matters is -- show me the money! It doesn't matter what you do with your [penis], just what you do with your job.
Not for all gay people.
Ross and his partner of more than 20 years, Adam Sanderson
Ross, I hope that such minor details won't keep us from getting to know each other well!
Here we go again.

Dear Ted:
I've looked around the Net, and I'm amazed that some people still refuse to believe that Judas Jack-Off and Dashed Dingle Dream are...well, you-know-who. I'm not a Blind Vice expert, but this one is as easy as Toothy Tile, right? I know that some people are in serious denial about their crush being gay, but that's really getting ridiculous! Your hints were more like anvils. What more do they need? Even if you posted a big picture of them, they still wouldn't believe it. Sad.

Dear Oh Wise One:
Please, enlighten me...who are they?
Awful Truth
*studio chairman knows if problems arise between us he can give me away or have his assistant take me to the vet for easy euthanasia; no lawsuits that drag on for years and years and make him lose his husband and lose millions of dollars and subject him to public ridicule*
*what if studio chairman decides to dump his partner after sex with me? I have to let him know this will be no-strings-attached sex situation*
Dear Ted:
I'm a huge Robert Pattinson fan but I'm really not impressed with Kristen Stewart. She comes off as bitchy and rude. I understand that she deals with the crazy fan base, but the constant eye rolls during Comic-Con interviews were ridiculous. Doesn't she get paid to do her job? She acts like her life sucks. Which by the way doesn't. Isn't Rob her boyfriend? I just hope she gets over herself soon. Do you think Rob and her will last?

Dear Public Manners:
Yes, Kristen isn't exactly the most eloquent when it comes to press time. Except I would take her angsty honest self anytime over the fake ones like Jennifer Garner and Reese Witherspoon. Not everything is always great!
what if studio chairman decides to dump his partner after sex with me?
Jake did you forget to take your anti-psychotic meds today?
What?! He wouldn't be the first to get addicted to my BJs! And I'm great boyfriend material!
Didn't Ted already answer a question like that about KS?
Audtioning for Jake and Atticus booty call.
LMAO!
Audtioning for Jake and Atticus booty call.
Sluts
Is that Atticus on the far right?!
*caught*
*FUCK!*
No wonder Atticus was shipped to Pittsburgh and is being driven around and babysat 24/7. Boy has to be watched. He's worse than Jake.
Didn't Ted already answer a question like that about KS?
You mean - answer a question like that by trashing Witherspoon? I think so, but that question wasn't about KS.
Q: Were you in your high school drama club?
A: I was in drama, speech and debate, president of the writers' club, I was editor of our school's literary magazine ... I pretty much did everything.
Q: You wrote, directed, and starred in a musical spoof of Sweeney Todd called Shirley Todd. What can you tell me about that?
A: [Laughs] The end of my senior year, my school did this thing for the seniors called the Senior Show where one senior was designated to do whatever he wanted for however much time on the stage -- they get their own show in a sense. All the other kids previous to me had done SNL-type skits and gags and that type of stuff. But I was dead serious that I wanted to do a show that would be funny and adult, so I wrote this spoof called Shirley Todd, which is Sweeney Todd except all the roles were gender-reversed, so I was Mr. Lovett rather than Mrs. Lovett, and it took place in modern-day punk-rock London. It was a lot of fun.
Q: Were you out in high school?
A: Oh, no. People are killed in my hometown for that.
