Darkness.
A SOUND slowly builds: the rhythmic rocking of a TRAIN'S WHEELS over RAILROAD TRACKS...
INT. HIGH SPEED TRAIN - MORNING
COLTER jolts awake. Sunlight hits his face.
He blinks. A stunned beat. He's disoriented.
Slowly he turns his head to one side...
PASSENGERS. Filling most of the seats. Office workers on their morning commute into a city.
Turning the other way, he‘s confronted with a window. Trees flash by, splitting the rising sunlight into a hypnotic strobe pattern.
Colter looks to be thirty years old. A military buzz cut. A disciplined physique, lean and spare, almost gaunt. Skin burnished by years of desert sandstorms and equatorial sun. His expression, prematurely aged by combat, is perpetually wary, sometimes predatory, accustomed to trouble.
Despite his military bearing, Colter wears a button down shirt and navy sports coat. On his wrist is a digital watch. It reads 7:40 a.m.
He swallows. A strange, creeping panic.
He has no idea where he is.

I though Jake loked great!!!!! He looks more like a man now instead of a boy.
But the truly yummy one right now is Sam Worthington... Oh,God! Those sexy glasses!!! :))))
he can't act for shit,though.

Jake looked very handsome last night but I have to agree that he lacked a lot of the spark he had in the past.
Jake Gyllenhaal looks sharp as always as he arrives at the 2010 Oscars held at Kodak Theatre on Sunday (March 7) in Hollywood.
The 29-year-old Prince of Persia actor, who wore a Burberry suit and a pair of Ferragamo Tramezza black leather lace-up shoes, came out to support his big sister, Maggie Gyllenhaal, who is nominated for Best Actress in a Supporting Role in Crazy Heart.
Most recently, Jake was spotted with G4’s Olivia Munn at the Weinstein party held in Los Angeles.

Jared is really pushing this Jake/Olivia thing.
Jake and Rachel look kinda good together. He was very handsome at the event.
• What a kidder! Presenter Jake Gyllenhaal was having a prolonged conversation with Rachel McAdams in the lobby of the Kodak Theater before the actor finally introduced her to a friend, saying, "This is Rachel McAdams, she's the mother of my child!"
Can I just say how great it is to see Oscar pics of Jake without that awful phony PR whore cunt by his side.
What a smile:
Jake/Rachel
"This is Rachel McAdams, she's the mother of my child!"
Mama?
"This is Rachel McAdams, she's the mother of my child!"
Interesting that he didn't jokingly say "future mother" or "my future child" or "going to be the mother of my child/ren" ~ he said it as though he already has a child. A man who doesn't have any children wouldn't say it like Jake did.
Just optically speaking, Rachel looks much better with Jake than with Ryan Gosling IMO.
A man who doesn't have any children wouldn't say it like Jake did.
And if I can add, for people who don't know any better, Atticus is Jake's only "child." I doubt Jake would call Rachel his dog's mother!!
Mama?

"Jared is really pushing this Jake/Olivia thing."
Ted'intern pushed it first.
For a few moments, the Gyllenhaal family had a reunion. Supporting-actress nominee Maggie of "Crazy Heart" and her actor-husband Peter Sarsgaard met up with her brother, Jake, in the crush of celebrities at the Kodak Theatre.
"You just witnessed a Gyllenhaal sandwich," Jake said, smiling.

As the 82nd Academy Awards come to a close, co-host Steve Martin descends into the audience to kiss Meryl Streep and hug George Clooney. As most people rush for the exits, the brother-and-sister acting duo of Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal linger for a bit before strolling away together.
...
Bromance in aisle three! Bradley Cooper, Jake Gyllenhaal, Jason Bateman and Gerard Butler held their own awards show just before the real one got started. They laughed and patted each other on the back until a female voice came over the loudspeakers, interrupting the revelry to warn that the first commercial break wouldn't be until 25 minutes into the show. Some of the audience members gasped as they rushed to take their seats.

Jake Gyllenhaal Talks About Almost Being In 'Avatar'
Actor also talks forthcoming flick 'Prince of Persia.'
It's hard to imagine a "what if?" scenario when it comes to 20th Century Fox's "Avatar," the 3-D science-fiction epic directed by James Cameron. While the movie failed to win the major awards at this year's Oscars, "Avatar" nonetheless remains the most financially successful film in cinematic history. But there's no telling how the film's success story could have played out if another actor portrayed the lead role of Jake Sully — a completely different Jake, in fact.
"Brothers" star Jake Gyllenhaal spoke with MTV News on the red carpet at the 82nd annual Academy Awards and confirmed rumors that he was once up for the role played famously by relative newcomer Sam Worthington. "There were definitely discussions," he confessed. "It was what it was, but ultimately it's a great honor that I was even thought of."
Even though Gyllenhaal never entered the dangerous jungles of Pandora, the actor still has an action franchise to call his own in the form of "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time," director Mike Newell's adaptation of the video-game series of the same name. "You have no idea of what you're going to see," the actor teased. "It's really good."
Despite Gyllenhaal's endorsement of "Prince of Persia," most films based on video games have been met with harsh reviews from both critics and fans alike. But according to the actor, "Prince of Persia" is going to change that trend.
"I'm going to say right now that this will reinvent video-game adaptations," he declared. "This will finally pull off what people hoped that video-game adaptations [are capable of]."

OSCARS 2010: Jake Gyllenhaal leads Hollywood hunks
Oscars see the Hollywood hunks out in force
It's easy to forget the Hollywood men when you wade through countless photos of best and worst-dressed women at the Oscars - after all, hunks like Jake Gyllenhaal and Zac Efron's outfits aren't likely to put them high up in memorable fashion stakes. But that doesn't stop them being delicious to look at, so we thought we'd spare some time for Jake Gyllenhaal, Zac Efron and others as we look at the stars of the Oscars.
Newly-single Jake won't be single for long - he looked devastatingly handsome on the red carpet - although he did look a little lost on his own. Fortunately, sister Maggie Gyllenhaal happily posed with him, bless her.
Wearing a traditional suit means that Hollywood hotties like Ryan Reynolds aren't really going to feature in a best or worst-dressed list, and they can often be left behind.
We think that's a crime - praise be for the men of Hollywood!

Calvin Klein Underwear will launch the video component of its latest men's campaign today, and the videos' adult language could land the brand in hot water with censors - not for the first time.
WWD has obtained the full-length version of the campaign, which is for a new product range called X. In the profanity-laced videos, words are bleeped out by sound and by an X that appears over the mouth.
The campaign features a quartet of models: American actor Kellan Lutz, who plays vampire Emmett Cullen in the "Twilight" series; American actor Mehcad Brooks of HBO's "True Blood" and ABC's "The Deep End;" Spanish tennis star Fernando Verdasco; and Hidetoshi Nakata, one of the most famous Asian footballers.

Jake stopped by and chatted with Seacrest, who asked about last night's party and who he hung out with. Jamie Foxx was Jake's answer. Ryan did asked him about giving his sister a message, and Jake told her how proud he was of her. It was really sweet.
Seacrest did ask him about PoP and the sandals thing, and what parties he was going to. Jake scooted around that one by saying he has to get back to Canada for work. Also they had a moment about their respective pocket squares.
Jake looked great, everything looked good the hair, the tux, and yes that gold ring that seems to be staying.

Dear Ted:
You've been fairly outspoken in the past regarding the Mormon Church’s stance on homosexuality. Have you read Roseanne's blog where she rips the Mormon Church and Marie Osmond for not supporting gay teens/young adults, specifically Marie's son who recently committed suicide? While I agree with the basis of Roseanne is saying, I don't know that only one week after the poor kid dies is the time to call out the parent. What are your thoughts?
—Ashley
Dear Unsure:
When has Roseanne been anything but uncomfortably frank? Maybe she doesn’t have the best etiquette but what she’s saying is true and what Marie’s son Michael went through is tragic. I think it’s best to quote Roseanne here: “Hey, I want her and all the gay kids in the world to know that they are just fine being gay and that they deserve love and respect instead of insults and rebuke!”
Dear Ted:
There are some persistent rumors about some big star's coming out on the cover of the next issue of The Advocate, is it true? If true, is it someone living in an open glass-closet already, in an iron clod closet, or in Narnia land? And is it one of your Blind Vice stars? I know curiosity killed the cat, but I'm a dog-person anyway, so please answer me.
—Audrey
Dear Coming-Out Party:
If it’s who I suspect, I wouldn’t get too excited just yet. This person has been rumored to come out in one magazine or another for the last five years. Maybe this time the dude will finally actually do it?
Dear Ted:
What's with Kellan Lutz? I get the metrosexual thing, but he seems to be pushing it closer to the homo side of things. The boy likes to shop and he carries a bag while Anna-Lynne doesn't. Is he hiding something?

Dear Lost on Lutz:
Definitely noticed his recent fashion trends. But I still think he’s hot—even with the purse.

I think he probably can't help but remember. I know many Austinites will disagee or belitte it, but I still think it may be a factor for him not being as upbeat as he used to.

Video: 'Reason to be worried'
We consider Meredith Vieira to be a community friend and ally. We've actually been at pro-equality events where she's put in an appearance and/or a vow of commitment. We also remember when a pair of "ex-gay" men were on "The View," and Meredith was the one who most had our backs. We trust the sincerity.
So in showing you the following clip, we don't mean to raise "Meredith is a homophobe"-inducing ire. We really don't feel that way about her. However, our trust in her friendliness doesn't negate her ability to piss us off with her public comments. And in the following snippet, the NBC host does piss us off, indeed, when she gives a handy demonstration of the widely unaddressed (and debatably more harmful) problem of casual heterosexism. Have a look:
[How 'Hurt Locker' made it to the screen video]
"Reason to be worried"? Yea, Meredith? That's the way you're gonna play this one? Here we are talking about a profession that is filled with gay men, and an awards show whose director, choreographer, musical director, and opening performer (among many others) were all gay men. We're also talking with a cast and creative team that very well might include gay people. Yet here we have Meredith suggesting that if there were gay affection of display, that there would be reason to "worry"?!? Affection between single heteros would surely elicit a "get a room" from a TV host, yet here we have morning's most popular TV host taking a simple hug and essentially saying "get a healthy affection"?! It's pretty damn offensive, if you think about it.
Now, if she were interviewing Ellen DeGeneres or the aforementioned Neil Patrick Harris, it's pretty safe to say that she'd be respectful to their public unions. But you know what? That's the big problem here! Because we have so many of our supposedly liberal friends who will be so nice to our lives and our loves when confronted directly with them, yet will so often go for these cheap and, frankly, stupid jokes that traffic solely in anti-gay "worry." In doing so, they foster the idea that same-sex affections are icky, a fear fomentation that's not negated by their niceties when dealing with actual gay people. Regardless of how much the purveyors of this mindset may disconnect these abstract denunciations from actual LGBT human beings or contribute to our cause, the reality is that they're cultivating in the minds of the American public the exact kind of casual heterosexism that keeps people voting against us and then justifying it by saying "some of my best friends are gay," keeps civil unions on the table as acceptable alternative to full marriage equality, and keeps many would-be allies apathetic to the pro-equality fight because they see gays as this odd "other."
While she probably doesn't mean to, Meredith is essentially telling young gay kids that there chances of winning an easy, benign shake at this game of life is even slimmer than their chance of winning an Oscar. That's bad. We cannot let this casual stuff pass anymore than we allow the organized anti-gays to get away with their deliberately detrimental nonsense.

Barbara Walters was asked by the Toronto Star about the one regret she has in her long professional career. Her answer? A series of questions she asked a Latin pop heart throb 10 years ago.
"In 2000, I pushed Ricky Martin very hard to admit if he was gay or not, and the way he refused to do it made everyone decide that he was. A lot of people say that destroyed his career, and when I think back on it now I feel it was an inappropriate question."
After the jump, revisit their chat (as well as the awkwardness) in a clip from that interview.
Towleroad
Shit. How did Esquire know I was trying to cover up my Kodak Theater broom closet blowjob come breath with gum?
That Sean Hayes is gay is Hollywood's worst kept secret — circa 1998, when his character Jack debuted on Will & Grace. Played with a natural flamboyance, Hayes portrayal of the serially out-of-work mooching neighbor was either an exercise in extreme method acting, or just an extension of Hayes' true self. Or somewhere in the middle. But with an upcoming Broadway turn opposite Kristin Chenoweth in Promises, Promises, he's acknowledging what nobody pretended was even something worth hiding: that he's a proud, Emmy-winning gay actor. But damn you for making him say it aloud.
Like Neil Patrick Harris pre-How I Met Your Mother or White Collar's Matthew Bomer today, Harris didn't want to declare his sexuality on the record during Will & Grace for fear of breaking Hollywood's glass closet only to have the pieces slash through his career's carotid artery. And the prospect of speaking about it still perturbs him, thanks in part to an Advocate article that made him hate the gay media.
And there’s the press. To this day he feels burned by a story that ran in this magazine in anticipation of the series finale of Will & Grace. Titled “Sean Hayes: The Interview He Never Gave,” the one-page “Q&A” was a clip job of quotes he’d given to other publications through the years that made him look rather silly for pretending no one knows he’s gay. Hayes’s sexuality had become an open secret in Hollywood, but he’d refused repeated offers to be interviewed by the magazine, and the then-editors of The Advocate felt entitled to the real story. Understandably, that didn’t sit well with Hayes. “Really? You’re gonna shoot the gay guy down? I never have had a problem saying who I am,” he states.
Ironic, then, that the magazine he is now coming out to is also the Advocate.
Finally, Hayes gets to his true point: “I feel like I’ve contributed monumentally to the success of the gay movement in America, and if anyone wants to argue that, I’m open to it. You’re welcome, Advocate.”
That sarcasm and anger cover up years of genuinely hurt feelings. “Why would you go down that path with somebody who’s done so much to contribute to the gay community?” he asks. “That was my beef about it. What more do you want me to do? Do you want me to stand on a float? And then what? It’s never enough.
“That’s the thing about celebrity: It sets you up to fail because the expectation is so high of what’s needed, what’s wanted from you that the second you don’t [meet it], you disappoint people.”
And therein lies the rub of gay celebrities: Being famous means your personal life is exposed, voluntarily or not. And closeted gay actors, and semi-out gay actors who don't want to confirm nor deny their sexuality, have it even harder, because they must don a shield when it comes to who they're dating. But Hayes had the (mis?)fortune of rising to stardom before blogs and Twitter, before Facebook and TMZ. Which says much about how even in the 1990s, gay celebs felt pressure from the gay community to say it loud and say it proud. Websites like ours, then, haven't made it any easier — but as the media environment changes, so too must celebrities looking to court it for work.
And for the record, Hayes is happily partnered. But don't ask him about it.
Queerty
The cutest blue ever. Reminds me of when Heath was next to him.
Someone said a reason might be that he wasn't the it boy tonight. But I see a sadness in his eyes in some pics too. It was such a big year for him and Heath in 2006. I think he probably can't help but remember. I know many Austinites will disagee or belitte it, but I still think it may be a factor for him not being as upbeat as he used to.
I really believe you are seeing what you want to see. Jake looked fine last night. He was laughing, joking around, smiling. Not sure what else is expected.
Seriously, it's time to get out of 2006 and into 2010. Life has moved on but some people cannot seem to get out of 2006.
2006 is gone, it's 2010, it's all downhill and all that's left is death. Four years gone by; glee and lust and having fun and a glint in one's eye and smiling is finis. No more happiness; it runs out after its expiration date. Almost 30, time to get serious and settle down. Life is over.
The best is yet to come!
Oh God, not come again!
As if 30 is old. For male actors it's actully the real start re. career.

Red eye flights are usually midnight or 1am, but he could be returning late Monday. Duncan must know Jake had a big weekend and would be exhausted. If he cant get a buy for Oscar weekend, then he's working for a taskmaster.

E! interview - Ryan Seacrest and Jake on the red carpet
1:52 PM - huh?
Read the ONTD comments.
Leo is just whoring around because he is waiting for the right man, his one true Love.
I don't think Leo is waiting for his true love, male or female. I think he enjoys his status and therefore his many opportunities to screw arround with almost whomever he wants too.
Read the ONTD comments.
I see, thanks.

Jake Jokes About Having A Baby Rachel: Now that Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon have split, is the hunky young actor moving on to another big screen beauty? According to People, Jake was heard making jokes about getting Rachel McAdams pregnant in the lobby of the Kodak Theatre during Sunday’s Oscars. “This is Rachel McAdams, she’s the mother of my child!” he reportedly told a friend when introducing the actress. Maybe he was just joking, but we completely support the possibility of this Hollywood couple!

Bitch!
State senator says he's gay after DUI arrest
SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Republican state Sen. Roy Ashburn of Bakersfield says he is gay.
The conservative lawmaker came out Monday on KERN radio in Bakersfield, saying he felt compelled to address rumors that he had visited a gay nightclub near the Capitol before his arrest last week for driving under the influence.
The 55-year-old father of four says he broke the law, putting people at risk, so he owes the public an explanation.
Ashburn has consistently voted against gay rights measures since he was elected to the state Assembly in 1996.
He has said those votes reflected the way constituents in his district wanted him to vote.
Ok, I'll give him some credit for coming out.
Ahaha-my Sis just told me she and her fiancé were sitting next to the dad of Jake & Maggie Gyllenhal on their flight to JFK ...(cont.)

More self-bearding. At times, Jake can be so pathetic it's embarassing. Get up to Canada and get back to work, Jake.
OT (lol) which daytime soap has the gay couple? Or if there's more than one who has the best scenes?! I want to get into watching a soap but I can't remember which one has the gay couple and all I remember is one of them is named Fish. I tried googling "soap, fish, gay" (lol) but all I got was well, basically nothing but weird stuff.

LOL. So true, still not as embarrassing as Reeke, though - and a lot less hassle. Maybe this kind of stuff will be his new m.o.
Jake, don't listen to them - you should speak in public as often as possible!
Maybe Jake was just making fun of the way tabloids make up things when stars are seen together.
This off the cuff remark, if said at all because why would People lie (sarcasm), has morphed into some other remark I'm sure he never said. Why do you attack Jake so readily and not the pondscum tabloids? Funny old world isn't it?

Jake and Rachel has a couple of minutes on Oprah's After Oscars Special, when decorator,designer, businessman and special Oprah correspondent Nate Berkus, caught with them backstage.
Jake said he was nervous for Rachel and her dress and if she fell he wouldn't catch her. Of course Nate got the mike cord caught up in her dress and yelled for Jake.
But Jake meeting Nate. That's one blue eye showdown.

sorry that should be that's "was afraid that he couldn't catch her"
My mind is a bit distracted today.
Nate Berkus isn't Jake's type, right?

4:07, Both "As The World Turns" and "One Life to Live" in the US have gay storylines. OLTL has the better storyline by far, as their characters are treated like any other couple on the show... they even had the first gay love scene on daytime.
ATWT's story has been going longer but it's a complete joke in terms of romance. They are owned by P&G who are very against the gay characters actually doing anything gay. There was a great interview with one of the actors who played a third party getting between the main couple. After he left the show he went on record about how ridiculous it was to be part of a gay triangle and have TPTB debate on if he could put a hand on another guy's shoulder.

Fingers crossed for YouTube, Jake and Nate :)

Just "This is Rachel McAdams, she's the mother of my child!" is absurd and doesn't make sense, I can't imagine Jake saying that about a woman he doesn't know well.

Best Imaginary New Couple: Rachel & Jake
Post By Duana & Lainey
So tonight Lara says "Everything is right in the world when Rachel McAdams is around" which is so true. But the other half of it is that I just want everything to be OK for Rachel. She's a hometown girl, and I don't think anyone worried about her until post-Gosling. Because the thought was that she had met her SoulMate and all was wonderful. But then she and the SoulMate broke up and we've all been watching her, those of us who care, with the quiet anxiousness of a parent who just wants to see their grown child 'settled'.
But tonight Lainey hit it. And I'm not just blowing smoke because she's letting me blog my little heart out and I ate all the Pringles. She suggested this pairing.
Now, it's not that every single girl needs to be fixed up. It's not that she needs to date anyone at all. But Rachel and Jake - he's got just enough sass and gravitas and interest to balance her. Because whatever is going on with her, she kind of refuses to be up when we want her to be up, she does good and bad movies in tandem without ever apologizing for either, and revels in being complicated.
Jake would be complicated. It wouldn't be a perfect relationship. There would be dark periods and they might struggle to understand one another.
....
Lainey: please, it can’t be as dark as Kirsten Dunst. Or as ball numbing as Reese Witherspoon. I was all over this early as soon as I reported on Twitter before arrivals that they’d be presenting together. We love setting up celebrities. And why didn’t we think of this before? Duana says it’s because he’s the jock and she’s the artsy. OMG. They belong together. Girly squealing jumpy claps!
So then I spent the rest of the night, on Twitter, and on the live blog, cajoling the rest of you to pray to Shiloh to make this happen. LET THEM FALL IN LOVE.
Let there be McJakey.
I’m telling you, if we will it into play, it will play. Even People.com is on board. Apparently Jakey jokingly introduced Rachel to a friend last night as “the mother of my child”.
Shiloh. She hears us.
A compliment for Maggie?
A lot of people call Maggie Gyllenhaal ugly because she doesn’t look like Reese Witherspoon. Having met Maggie at the Spirit Awards on Friday, I can tell you her sex appeal is through the roof. It’s the way she holds herself. And the slight condescension when she speaks to you. She’s tall, so she looks down on most people, literally and figuratively, and you know I like bitches, and oh Maggie, she can be a bitch, and so of course I’m properly in love with her. More so than before. Especially after seeing her Oscar dress. This is how you do.

The chin?! LOL! Lainey has a problem with her eyes, her brain or both?
LOL at the McAdams shippers. Didn't they notice how at the conclusion Jake walked in front of Rachel and was more interested in patting and talking to the guy?!
Bonnie Fuller still prefers PR fiction! lol
Is Jake Gyllenhaal Moving On With A New Woman?
How long does it take you to get over an ex?
Jake Gyllenhaal seems to be taking his time getting over Reese Witherspoon, but who could blame him? The two were dating for two years, after all. But now it seems Jake may finally be back in the dating pool: eyewitnesses spotted the 29-year-old actor out with a new girl on March 6.
“Jake was hanging out with this mystery girl all night,” one partygoer at the UNICEF/Weinstein pre-Oscar bash at Soho House in Beverly Hills tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively. “She was sort of a Plain Jane, didn’t look like Reese at all. The only similarity is that they were both blond and short!”
Adds the insider, “They were together all night, but they weren’t holding hands or kissing or anything like that. There were no romantic overtones, but they did seem to be very close, sitting close and chatting intimately.”
Well, we say it’s about time! After splitting in November of 2009 after nearly two years together, Reese has already been stepping out on the town with Hollywood agent Jim Toth, while Jake seems to be moving on at a slower pace.
What do you think? How soon is too soon to move on from a serious relationship?

Maybe there's still hope that Gosling and McAdams will go back together?
aww
They would fit much better than Gosling and MW or McAdams and (gay) Jake.
Didn't they notice how at the conclusion Jake walked in front of Rachel and was more interested in patting and talking to the guy?!
They didn't, they don't pay attention, but we are here to remind them!
^^^ LOL!
Well at least Jake is in the Oscar news/tabloids. Where was the Chin? Did anyone miss her? The only gossip going for her is she's ~dating~ her agent, and everyone and their mother knows that's a bunch of PR BS. I expect we'll be getting a pap set of her and the poor guy and her kids at a vacation spot by the end of this week.
New Couple?!
We think they would look lovely together!
Jake Gyllenhaal was chatting for quite some time in the Kodak Theatre lobby with actress Rachel McAdams before the Academy Awards and it must have been pretty stimulating since he introduced her to a friend saying, "This is Rachel McAdams, she's the mother of my child!"
LOLs!
And what a lucky lady she would be!

Did Jake's PR arrange this 'single Rachel and single Jake looking great and presenting Oscar' combination?
If so, it was a smart move. ;)
6:50 PM, this stinks like PR.
Well, everything is better than "Jake pining over Reese" bullshit.

The Best (and Worst) Dressed Men at the 2010 Oscars
The Best Dressed Award: Jake Gyllenhaal
It takes a lot of work to make hundreds of millions of people think the clothes you're wearing don't really matter. But this is the Oscars, and they do, and Gyllenhaal matched his Burberry tuxedo — a real piece of work itself — with a smart bow tie, simple pocket square, and one helluva haircut. The man looked... comfortable. Which is the hardest — and most important — part about wearing formalwear when you're a man, and which is why Gyllenhaal nailed it.

In all case, the better fit would be Gosling & Gay Jake..
Now THAT would be the Shit!!! ;DD
Nah, they look too similar with their long, horsey faces.
Jake and Franco, now THAT would be hot.
Jake and Collin Firth... Jake could call him DADDY! :P
Pity I don't like Franco's pretentious personality. How about Gosling's cool personality and Franco's looks? That combo & Jake = awsome couple.
Franco doesn't seem pretentious AT ALL. He seems like a really cool, down to earth dude.
Did Jake's PR arrange this 'single Rachel and single Jake looking great and presenting Oscar' combination?
What? You honestly thought we were going to let him present with Bradley or Gerard? Or worse yet, Bradley and Gerard? Ye Gods!
Oooooh I know! Let's all band together and start hating on Rachel McAdams all over the internet because she had he AUDACITY to present an award with Jake!!1@#1!!! Come on, who's on board?! I know we can make it happen!!!
Colin Farrell, I'm sure he'll turn gay for Jake :)

Sorry I don't post links but its up at Oprah.com. The purse Jake is carrying is to die for and the flirting with Nate is so cute that is until the question about Heath. I'm computer inept.
