«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 400 of 2855 Newer› Newest»Talking about little kids, here is video with pictures of Ricky and his twins ... :)
Ricky Martin y sus hijos
I'm not even sure Jake said the kids in his life in that "interview" , sounds like something the reporter added in. I don't think she actually interviewed/talked to Jake, he may have been talking to a group of reporters.
Like all the Rachel stuff although his comments are in quotes, but the lego stuff isn't.
Sounds like something Popsugar added to mention legos, they do a lot of PR stuff on that site and they forgot for a split second that the blonde and her kids are gone.
People usually don't refer to their friend's kids as being part of their life.
Why not? If they're good friends, the kids may very well be a part of your life. Some people see their friends more often than their families. Besides, I think his answer is being taken too literally. It makes good press to say he'll be playing with the toys with kids. If he had a child he was so carefully hiding, he's certainly not going to "slip up" and mention it at a press conference.

Jake Gyllenhaal Talks Prince of Persia, iPad, and Beautiful Rachel McAdams in SF!
WonderCon came to San Francisco this weekend, which meant lots of star power in the Bay Area including a very handsome Jake Gyllenhaal — check out Buzz's take on all the highlights with videos to come soon! Jerry Bruckheimer joined Jake who chatted about playing video games as research for Prince of Persia and how he feels about the 3D trend in movies. After the panels Jake headed to the Disney cocktail party, where the iPad was the talk of the town and of course Jake had one to play with. Jake told us how excited he is to see himself as a Lego for Prince of Persia, a toy that he still gets to play with thanks to the little kids in his life. He's currently filming Source Code in Canada with Vera Farmiga, which he said has been an amazing experience. Jake also got cute talking about how gorgeous Rachel McAdams looked on Oscar night, though he admitted that he left a few footprints on her long dress! Stay tuned for lots more details from the festival to come.
Awww, I love that video with Ricky, especially the scene of the babies resting on either side of his head. :) They're both beautiful children, but little Valentino is gorgeous! :)
Jake told us how excited he is to see himself as a Lego for Prince of Persia, a toy that he still gets to play with thanks to the little kids in his life.
The reported might made up the whole thing, but "little kids in his life" part doesn't sound like something added by the reporter.
Lainey was punked.
Jackie, this pic of Heath you posted is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen; he looks like a Greek god. :)
They're both beautiful children, but little Valentino is gorgeous! :)
Ricky and Matteo will give you an evil look! ;)
^^Aww, that baby boy is so cute.
it's just odd that the legos would be brought up at the Disney/IPad party when according to all the videos I saw, the legos weren't brought at the Con and you would think it would unless I missed it.
Seems out of the blue along with the Rachel question again out of the blue and had nothing to do with anything that day, at least the legos did.
he got cute talking about Rachel, but did he really?
They claimed that he told them that he was excited to see himself as Prince of Persia for lego (BTW, I swear that he said this in an earlier interview)and then they said that a toy that he still gets to play with thanks to the little kids in his life. Now that last part could easily have been added but IMO I think that 90% of the whole thing is made up.
Ricky and Matteo will give you an evil look! ;)
I forgot how hot is Ricky Martin, that 'Tal Vez' video is a good reminder :)
If Jake really said all that about Rachel and the kids in his life why didn't they give the direct quotes? Nah, I agree with 2:42 PM.
Jake Gyllenhaal Talks About Becoming an Action Hero For Prince of Persia at WonderCon!
The highlight of this weekend's annual WonderCon event was definitely the cast of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time — namely star Jake Gyllenhaal. Before Pop and I went to a party to chat him up, I had a chance to ask him about the movie and his turn as an action star, and he also joked about being turned into a LEGO for the role and whether his education helped him prepare. Watch it below and then tell me just how dreamy you think he is!

^^LOL, how do you go from "most of the kids I know" to "the little kids in his life"?

Huh? What are you talking about?
Sorry, my Internet Explorer doesn't show 3:07 PM video, but Firefox works fine. No comment, lol.
Huh? What are you talking about?
Sorry, I meant you as in the media, not 3:07 PM.
Jake says in the video "most of the kids I know who’ve seen that there’s a Lego actually think now this movie is cool". How did they go from this to "Jake told us how excited he is to see himself as a Lego for Prince of Persia, a toy that he still gets to play with thanks to the little kids in his life."? It’s just funny to me how he says one thing and they write something else.
All those entertainment and PR driven sites - you can't believe a word they write.
Was the bit about kids in his life taken from the same source--i.e., is it possible there was a different interview?
If not, bad reporting.
is it possible there was a different interview?
Two different persons talking to Jake and posting on Popsugar site? Not likely.

Jake: "I have been singing since I was a little kid"
Well Austin said the kid can sing. : )
Billy Crystal didn't lie :)
Jake Gyllenhall slings zing about Prince of Persia, Parkour, Bruckheimer and new projects.
Some weeks back Jake Gyllenhaal was paraded in front of TV cameras in Los Angeles to do some special in-costume publicity for Prince of Persia: Sands of Time. Word is that he got very upset that I couldn't be there, but luckily phone numbers were exchanged and we had a chance to speak.
Below are highlights from a conversation about Prince Dastan, Jerry Bruckheimer, Parkour, Duncan Jones and David O. Russell. Enjoy!
Jordan Hoffman: So what do they have you doing right now? Are you in costume?
Jake Gyllenhaal: I am. It’s strangely embarrassing. [I’m not 100% sure he was joking here.] They made me put my costume back on.
Jordan Hoffman: Really? Are you in leather straps right now on the telephone?
Jake Gyllenhaal: Leather straps, and this wig that’s very hot. But I never wore a wig in the movie; but since my hair is short they’re forcing me to wear a wig today.
Jordan Hoffman: I have no idea if you’re telling me the truth or not. That’s what’s so wonderful about this.
Jake Gyllenhaal: Thank God you don’t see me, because if you did I’d put on my British accent for you.
Jordan Hoffman: Jerry Bruckheimer is a Hollywood behemoth. This guy has made so many big, explosive, fun summer movies. When you heard “my God, I’m going to work with Jerry Bruckheimer” what did you first flash on?
Jake Gyllenhaal: Oh, Top Gun man.
Jordan Hoffman: Absolutely, wow. What’s your favorite scene from Top Gun?
Jake Gyllenhaal: When the dude [James Tolkan] is like, “You jokers are goin’ to Top Gun!” You know that scene where he’s like “Damn you Maverick!”
Jordan Hoffman: You know what I love about that, is that he says the name of the movie in that scene.
Jake Gyllenhaal: He does, it’s the best. He’s like...what does he say? What are the other names, the craziest names of the characters?
Jordan Hoffman: Uh, you mean Ice Man? Or Goose?
Jake Gyllenhaal: No, not them, but Goose and Ice Man are awesome. They’re like Green Leaf and Dirt Man, or something [Cougar and Merlin, actually.] Like, “Daisy fell off so you two jokers are goin’ to Top Gun!” That’s my favorite.
Jordan Hoffman: I know you can’t give away too much about the film, but does somebody actually say “you are the Prince of Persia, and you have the Sands of Time”? Is the title in the film in the dialogue?
Jake Gyllenhaal: I’m trying to remember. No, no because the truth is Dastan the character is not legitimately the Prince of Persia because he’s picked up off the streets actually, as a kid. So he’s not a blood, he’s only a prince at heart.
Jordan Hoffman: Well, a leader shall lead; from blue blood or not. As you will teach us on May -
Jake Gyllenhaal: May 28th! May 28th! But we’ll be teaching you all month.
Jordan Hoffman: Nice. So have you played any of the games? Be honest with me.
Jake Gyllenhaal: I played the original game when I was a kid actually. The original side scroller. And then I took a long, long hiatus from it until I read the script of this movie. And then in research for the movie, I played pretty much all the games. Mostly Sands of Time.
Jordan Hoffman: Sands of Time is pretty damned addictive and aggravating. Did you ever finish?
Jake Gyllenhaal: No, I never finished it. But you know that section, the water section? Where you have to run from wall to wall, to get over the water? My God, that took me days and days and days.
Jordan Hoffman: You could make a call, though, you can call them up and be like hey I’m going to be in this damn thing let’s give me some ways out; but you stuck with it, I like that.
Jake Gyllenhaal: I stuck with it...but I would you know, bring in the stuntman to my trailer when I was playing and I’d be like, “guys can we do this? Can we figure out how to do this move?”
Jordan Hoffman: That’s awesome... In your daily life, when you were shooting this and now afterwards as you do the publicity do you find yourself moving furniture around and jumping on top of things? And uh, looking behind cabinets and what not? Is that ingrained in your soul now?
Jake Gyllenhaal: Is that one of the definitions of Parkour? Looking behind cabinets?
Jordan Hoffman: That’s the actual French translation. No, really, you do in the game though!
Jake Gyllenhaal: Ha. Yeah, David Belle [“founder” of Parkour] is amazing but, yeah, you’re right. You do look behind cabinets and stuff and put boxes on top and smash boxes with your sword and stuff like that – and drink water and get more energy - which I did a lot of. I did a lot of that. I don’t necessarily drink water to get more energy in the movie, but I did while we were shooting. So there are things that are gained and things that are lost.
Jordan Hoffman: What’s the coolest weapon you get to play with in this movie? – I’m considering the dagger a weapon.
Jake Gyllenhaal: It is not a weapon! In fact, I think it was only used once at one point to do something like that in the movie. But it’s not a weapon really at all. Uh, it’s a weapon of the mind. I – I uh, I wield two swords; the same sword – mimics of each other, and with my Parkour skills. The coolest weapons are the Hassansin’s who are like the henchmen. I have a really great fight with this Hassansin who has whips with blades at the ends of them which was all shot at like ten-thousand feet in the Atlas Mountains on this incredibly steep slope. I have a spear fight where, much like in the early moments of the video game when you first arrive.
I think, though, the weakness of video game adaptations in the past has been that they’ve tended to lean too much on the video game. They’ve not been able to veer off in creating real characters that you care for, a storyline that really works, you know. And also the action is so beyond reality, that people are like “I can just go back to my house and play this game, I don’t need to watch this movie” you know? And with this, it’s not that at all.
Jordan Hoffman: So, how much of the actual Parkour training did you actually do for this film, and when you walk around major cities, like New York do you find yourself really itching to jump around on things and test these skills out?
Jake Gyllenhaal: I trained with David Belle, the inventor of Parkour and a lot of different acrobats. I had a few doubles on the movie, one named is Mark Fichera. And he was extraordinary; and we did – I did training with acrobats in Los Angeles before I went to London for a month of preproduction and prep. And I learned all the basic moves of parkour, which surprisingly were much harder than I’d expected them to be; and since then I have not really applied those skills to the rooftops of the cities I live in but don put it past me.
Jordan Hoffman: Before I want to go, I want to ask you –
Jake Gyllenhaal: You know you sound like Jimmy Kimmel?
Jordan Hoffman: What are you trying to say? All New Yorker Jews are the same? [Actually, Kimmel is actually, Italian – ed.]
Jake Gyllenhaal: Oh, are you a New York Jew? [Yelling to his handlers.] Why am I talking to a New York Jew? Who put me on the phone with the New York Jew?
Jordan Hoffman: We have a mutual friend in [redacted] by the way.
Jake Gyllenhaal: Oh, great, another New York Jew. This is making me – I don’t know what to say. Who put me on the phone with this guy? I won’t mention that if you don’t mention me, cuz I’m a New York Jew.
Jordan Hoffman: Oh, no. That’s under wraps we don’t talk about those things – a gentlemen’s agreement. So you’re about to shoot this Duncan Jones movie right?
Jake Gyllenhaal: Yes.
Jordan Hoffman: Can you tell me a little bit about your involvement in this film? The character that you will be playing?
Jake Gyllenhaal: The movie is called Source Code. Duncan is directing it, and the character I play is a character named Coulter Stevens and he’s a helicopter pilot who flies helicopters for the Air Force in Afghanistan and all of a sudden – well you learn that, but he wakes up on a train in the middle of Chicago and he has no idea how he got there or where he is. And uhm, there’s a woman talking to him across from him who seems like she knows him but he doesn’t know who she is and when he sees his reflection in the mirror of the train – as another train passes the opposite way, he sees it’s not his face. And he doesn’t recognize this face.
Jordan Hoffman: Ooh, another one of those from Duncan Jones.
Jake Gyllenhaal: Oh, man. It’s gonna be - it’s really, really awesome.
Jordan Hoffman: Cool.
Jordan Hoffman: And what’s the story with David O. Russell and Nailed?
Jake Gyllenhaal: The financing for the movie, uh, we had one last scene to shoot of the movie. We were pretty much, I would say 98% done and uh, the financing fell through. So that movie is yet to be finished.
Jordan Hoffman: So this is something that’s 98% done and we’re waiting for somebody’s uncle to put up some dough to finish this thing? Is that basically the story?
Jake Gyllenhaal: Yeah, talk to the financer.
Jordan Hoffman: Wow. Well, I hope it comes out.
Jake Gyllenhaal: You never know. You never know.
Jordan Hoffman: Would you ever endorse sort of an unfinished version or something? If your schedule and his schedule can’t get back together once the financing does come back through?
Jake Gyllenhaal: Well my role is done. I shot all my roll in the movie but, uhm, yeah I would without a doubt. I think David is like, an extraordinary filmmaker and I always think there’s a way around it. It’s just, you know all those contracts you gotta get through.
One Dreamy Prince: Jake Gyllenhaal One-on-One Interview by Jordan Hoffman
Jake Gyllenhaal: Oh, are you a New York Jew? [Yelling to his handlers.] Why am I talking to a New York Jew? Who put me on the phone with the New York Jew?
LMAO!
Jordan Hoffman: Really? Are you in leather straps right now on the telephone?
Jake Gyllenhaal: Leather straps, and this wig that’s very hot. But I never wore a wig in the movie; but since my hair is short they’re forcing me to wear a wig today.
Jordan Hoffman: I have no idea if you’re telling me the truth or not. That’s what’s so wonderful about this.
Jake Gyllenhaal: Thank God you don’t see me, because if you did I’d put on my British accent for you.
I know this wasn't the point of the interview, but it made me smile anyway. :) :) :)
Just a smile? Because I'm laughing out loud!
It's nice to see Jake in form again. ;)
Yes, great interview. Glad to see Jake back. :)
Jordan Hoffman: Uh, you mean Ice Man? Or Goose?
Jake Gyllenhaal: No, not them, but Goose and Ice Man are awesome. They’re like Green Leaf and Dirt Man, or something [Cougar and Merlin, actually.] Like, “Daisy fell off so you two jokers are goin’ to Top Gun!” That’s my favorite.
Top Gun is great fun - with two beautiful, gay leads.
Jordan Hoffman is cool.
New York Jews are cool ;)
Jake Gyllenhaal: Is that one of the definitions of Parkour? Looking behind cabinets?
Jordan Hoffman: That’s the actual French translation.
LOL
Hey is there a tentative release date of Jake and Anne's new movie? Jack Nicholson's, Owen Wilson's and Paul Rudd's new movie is set for December.
WonderCon: Jake Gyllenhaal is excited about the new Duncan Jones movie? Hey, me too, buddy!
While promoting Prince of Persia at WonderCon over the weekend, Jake Gyllenhaal mentioned that he is currently filming a science fiction movie called Source Code with Vera Farmiga and Jeffrey Wright and that it is going to “blow our minds.” I don’t know that much else about the film, except that it’s directed by Duncan Jones. But frankly, that’s enough for me.
Jones is the son of David Bowie. Far more pertinently, he directed Moon, a Sam Rockwell-starring head trip of a homage to early ’70s sci-fi and, in my opinion, last year’s most tragically underseen movie (you can check out the trailer after the break). The less you know about Moon before you see it, the more fun you’re going to have — suffice to say that Rockwell very much earns his money, and in more ways than one. If Source Code is anywhere near as good then I’ll be a very happy bunny. (And if it’s even as half as good as the Gyllenhaal-starring, giant bunny-featuring head trip Donnie Darko then I’ll be even happier.)
What about you? Any fans of Moon out there? Or Donnie Darko? Do you agree that Source Code could be mind-blowing material?

Let's recap. Jake does press all weekend and Reese takes the boyfriend (with the kids) to church and the kids to the White House to read stories and she manages to steal the headlines. Jake is an afterthought on most of the entertainment shows. It's just like "oh yeah Reese's ex was at Wondercon".
What? Why would we care about Jake's ex beard? Witherspoon is doing what she did her whole career - faking and using everyone she can for her photo ops and publicity fiction.
Get ready for lots of Jake Gyllenhaal, because the Price of Persia promo tour is underway.
Jake showed up at WonderCon in San Francisco over the weekend to promote his slightly hyped flick. Despite some mixed early reviews, we're just glad J is looking sexier than his Prince of Persia action figure.
We actually think Gyllenhaal's looking better here than he has in a long time! Wonder why?
The former half of Gyllenspoon was glowing throughout his weekend up in northern Cali, looking yummier than he has in ages. See what happens when you lay off all those coffee dates?
Sorry Olivia Munn, but it seems singleness suits Jakey just as much as Reese (well, kinda).
Among the topics of convo up at WonderCon:
• What a ball he's having filming Source Code in Montreal despite some douche lords that may also be in the city.
• And also, how "gorgeous" he thought Rachel McAdams looked on Oscar night.
They both looked pretty good if you ask us, but does that equal a new couple? Tabloids all around the world seem to think so, like the Down Under mags that are already naming Rachel and Jake Hollywood's hottest new couple.
Hardly, babes. Jake is still very much single, we're told.
As much as we totally heart Rachel, we say no way on McGyllenhaal. Anyone disagree?
(This will not be the last time we'll find it necessary to ask this query, just be prepared.)
Does Jake Have a New Crush?
The easter egg hunt at the WH was scheduled last June, I remember the tweets while she was filming in DC. They mentioned Jake and Reese at the time, scheduled way before wondecon.
The WH easter egg hunt is more mainstream story than WonderCon, I don't care who attends and the reception, The WH will alaways be the biger story.
Sounds like Bibby is specualtioning about anther contracy and thinks McAdams deserves better than that.
There is a reason why Jake mentioned her at wondercon out of the blue.
BBM is currently on Bravo. Jack just got it on with Lureen in the car.
Awwwww :)
BBM is currently on Bravo. Jack just got it on with Lureen in the car.
There will be a lot of "Jack" and "Lureen" getting it on in LAOD.
I'm curious about their chemistry and interaction during promo this time around. Last time Mr. G. ignored her most of the time to concentrate on you know who. ;)
There is a reason why Jake mentioned her at wondercon out of the blue.
I'm sure Jake was asked about Oscars / Rachel, there is no way he would talk about her and her dress just because.
Can anyone tell when the Cannes line up for this year will be announced. It'd be nice if LAOD would premiere there.
It must be a Jake movie day, TDAT is on FX. I still haven't watched BBM, too sad.
Can anyone tell when the Cannes line up for this year will be announced. It'd be nice if LAOD would premiere there.
I don't think LAOD is finished. All Cannes movies will be announced by the end of April. The 63rd Cannes Film Festival will take place 12-23 May 2010.
I'm sure Jake was asked about Oscars / Rachel, there is no way he would talk about her and her dress just because.
ITA.
Don't let Reese rain on your parade for Jake. Eventually the storm will pass and all the comments from other boards, even JJB about how much better Jake looks these days certainly make me smile. Don't forget Ryan has a movie and Saturday Night Live coming, maybe Karma will finally give everyone its due. Women love Jake again, Reese God bless her.

In a subsequent interview with Moviefone, Gyllenhaal talked about beefing up for the role of Prince Dastan ("There was nothing hard about it, man, I was paid to get in shape") and responded to chatter about disapproval over a Caucasian actor playing a Persian, saying he's not a cowboy (or gay), either
Jake has said in the past that he's not gay. So what happened to verifying this latest assertion of his straighthood. Is the video out yet?
p.s. lol at the poster here who believes every word Jake utters.
Is the video out yet?
Not yet. I bet Jake didn't use the word 'gay'.

Pop star Ricky Martin’s revelation that he is gay ended years of speculation and also surprised many people the world over. However, it seems there is one person who was not so surprised and that is Sushmita Sen. The former Miss Universe was linked to Ricky a few years ago.
She says, “All the time I have known him, I’ve been so proud of him. It takes tremendous courage to accept your own DNA. I knew he was gay. More power to him. It is a fantastic feeling to be able to love who you want to and that’s a choice no one can make for you.”

Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets. Director Todd Graff, meanwhile, might want to check the fine print on his contract with the Devil. (And, really, who ELSE could have been responsible for "Bandslam"?)
Not a month ago Graff revealed to MTV News his grand plans for a big-screen remake of the Faustian "Damn Yankees" staring Jake Gyllenhaal and Jim Carrey, including plans to update the central story of a baseball fan who sells his soul to Beelzebub with a new focus on steroids.
It's not exactly the bottom of the ninth. But maybe it's time for a pinch hitter?
"Man, this is–- this has been a conversation I don't know why I keep having," Gyllenhaal told MTV's Larry Carroll when asked about the project this past weekend at WonderCon in San Francisco. "I've definitely been fascinated by that musical for a very long time, but I guess it's still in development. Still being worked out. We'll see."
Chalk this one up to a star unwilling to talk about his next project? Sure. It's not as if he denied being attached. Still, for fans of the musical looking for evidence that the remake would be moving forward sooner rather than later -- It was announced way back in February of last year, during the "dark times" when the Phillies(!!!) were World Champions. *Shudder* -- well, you might want to settle yourself in for a long seventh inning stretch.
In the meantime, the former "Brokeback"'d one wishes to assure you that if and when it DOES come time to patrol the ivy covered walls of Wrigley Field (updated from the Washington Senators in Graff's take on the story), the once and future "Prince of Persia" is more than up to the song and dance challenge. Mostly.
"Yeah, I mean look man, I have been signing since I was a little kid. It's something I've done alongside acting–- probably singing longer than I was acting so I am confident in that," Gyllenhaal laughed. "My dancing, not so much. [But then] I never thought I'd swordfight either."
"We'll figure it out if need be."
+ there's video
Jake Gyllenhaal 'Fascinated' By 'Damn Yankees,' Confirms It's 'Still In Development'
Argentinean singer Pablo Ruiz admits to kissing Ricky Martin in 1991.
"I'm going to confess something big: I kissed Ricky Martin several times… I was 17, I still had not had sex with a man. He (Martin) was 22 or 23. It was in Mexico, I was on tour and he lived there - he was doing a TV show. We were at a private party with people we trusted."
Kiss and tell - not cool?
Not cool, not cool at all!
Yeah, I mean look man, I have been signing since I was a little kid. It's something I've done alongside acting–- probably singing longer than I was acting so I am confident in that," Gyllenhaal laughed. "My dancing, not so much.

JustDavid620: Watching brokeback mountian Im so Jake Gyllenhaal he should have just given n 2 his feeling to Heath Ledger they could have been so happy
wut? funny that some people say jake and heath rather than jack and ennis. and also funny that this guy said jake should have given in to his feeling to heath. in the movie it was ennis who wouldn't give in to his feelings, not jack.
Maybe JustDavid620 talks about Jake and Heath.
Late last week Jamie Foxx denied he's gay in response to suggestions made earlier in the week by fellow Sirius radio host Howard Stern. The two radio hosts are in the midst of an on-air war.
Said Stern of Foxx earlier last week: "He seems to be in some bizarre thing where he wants to start in with me so that he can get some attention for his channel on the Foxxhole, which is an interesting name too. The hole. I wonder which hole they're referring to? How many holes are in Jamie? He's got an ass and a mouth. I don't know what he does with them...I gotta sh*tload of stuff on Jamie which isn't a lot of fun...even the name change to Foxx, it's interesting that he chose the name 'Jamie,' I could get into the whole f***ing thing...My guess is we're probably not on the same team. I think he's playing for a way different team. I don't know what team he's on but it ain't my team."
Said Foxx on Friday: "I'm not gay...A lot of people say that I'm gay and that doesn't bother me, because I could eat a pizza in a male shower and not feel anything because I'm secure with myself. And I'm not gonna take that, Coward Stern. I'm not gonna take that from a person who has chronic gonorrhea."

Last night I watched Brokeback Mountain for the 3rd time...but out of all the times that I watched it I still haven't seen "the part".....

Howard Stern is an idiot, no doubt, but I don't get Jamie Foxx's comments. If it doesn't bother him that a lot of people say he's gay than what is it that he's "not gonna take." None of it makes sense. Eat pizza in a male shower? Is that supposed to be funny - I mean, does he normally get sexually aroused by pizza? Sounds like they're both looking for publicity, which is the real purpose for these supposed "on-air wars."
I could eat a pizza in a male shower and not feel anything
LOL
because I'm secure with myself
LOL
Protesting too much, much?
Many of Jake's bffs - Foxx, RDJ, Austin - ping like submarines. Peter, too.
...its not that I'm a homophobe but
This is what homophobes always say right before they make a homophobic remark.
I gotta sh*tload of stuff on Jamie...
we're waiting.
Jamie Foxx is a douchebag (in general, nothing to do with his feud with equally douche Stern), I don't know how Jake can be friends with him.
Did you see Jamie's nude photo?
Yeah, big dick but he's sooo gross. Does absolutely nothing for me.
I don't know how Jake can be friends with him.
Jake has a thing for alpha males.
Who doesn't? lol
True. ;)
Jake has a thing for alpha males.
God, am I that obvious?
Jake has a thing for alpha males.
Which of Jake's friends are alpha males (other than Jamie)? Austin, Chris and Peter are not. As for Heath, I think he had a different kind of thing for him than for Jamie.
I'm not saying Jake doesn't have a thing for alpha males, I'm just wondering who you mean out of his friends.
Which of Jake's friends are alpha males (other than Jamie)?
Exactly! Another good reason to ignore Jamie's shortcomings.
Isn't RDJ a alpha male too?
Exactly! Another good reason to ignore Jamie's shortcomings.
So let me get this straight, being an alpha male and having a big dick excuses douchebaggery? Is that what you're saying?
Which of Jake's friends are alpha males (other than Jamie)? Austin, Chris and Peter are not. As for Heath, I think he had a different kind of thing for him than for Jamie.
1. Jamie and RDJ are diva males with strong alpha elements.
2. You're right, Austin, Chris and Peter are not alpha. But (and I know I'm in a microscopic minority on this), I don't think Jake is hung up on any of them.
3. Heath was alpha but conflicted about it.
jmo. ;)
Isn't RDJ a alpha male too?
Are there RDJ nude photos?
9:52 AM#1, I couldn't agree more! :)
9:52 AM#2, I couldn't agree more! :)
So let me get this straight, being an alpha male and having a big dick excuses douchebaggery? Is that what you're saying?
No, I'm saying that being an alpha male and having a big dick can make you forget and forgive his douchebaggery.
"Are there RDJ nude photos?"
I don't think so.
No RDJ nude photos? Then we can't determine how alpha he is ;)
Are there RDJ nude photos?
semi nude
NSFW I presume?
Yeah, sorry.
Yeah, thanks!
No, I'm saying that being an alpha male and having a big dick can make you forget and forgive his douchebaggery.
Why would Jake care about Jamie's dick size? Unless you're suggesting they are/were fuck buddies. I don't believe that. Do you choose and handle your friendships according to your friends's dick sizes, just wondering.
There must be a reason why the Oscar-nominated actor decided to be in the video game film. Turns out, there are several.
Granted, they're not the most spectacular reasons, but they are reasons. "There are a lot of things," Gyllenhaal tells website Geek Sugar. "One was the character, 'cause for me, whenever I choose a movie it's the character. I thought - at least as it was written - [Prince Dasdan] was wry and funny and had a good time, but at the same time kicked some ass."
Another reason was that the movie is based on a video game. "I like to do things that people have tried their hand at and haven't succeeded," the actor continued, referring to Hollywood's failed attempts at game movies. "Maybe it's a riskier thing to do, but I like that."
What's more, Gyllenhaal knew that the movie would already have a built in audience that wanted to be appeased. "And we're bringing it to younger kids," he adds, "kids who have never played the video game before and never experienced it."
The Prince of Persia film is being produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, who turned a Disney land attraction in a successful film franchise. Perhaps he can do the same with a video game!
interview
I think this all may come down to semantics and definitions. One thing that's obvious, imo, is that Jake LOVES being the center of attention and he thrives on that. One of the reasons he was having so much fun at wondercon.
Yeah Jim Sheridan said that's what he and Jake have in commen, love for attention. Jake is in the right business. :)
Yeah Jim Sheridan said that's what he and Jake have in commen, love for attention. Jake is in the right business. :)
Oh, yeah, I remember him saying that now. Yeah, Jake is in the right business - but, ironically enough, not all actors love being the center of attention. Heath didn't, for sure.

Not all, but most I'd say. I'm pretty sure Heath was greatful to Jake for taking over the chunk of talking during promo. They complimented each other as colleagues and friends. Heath in most of his public appearances was awkward to watch. Rarely you saw him comfortable.
Why would Jake care about Jamie's dick size?
Because he appreciates male beauty?
There was a "funny" Four Feathers interview I watched with Heath. During the interview he kept his head down almost the whole time. LOL. Or peeling an orange during an interview for Dogtown (he apologized later). I have no idea why he acted like that. But back in the day I thought it was kind of funny.
He wished he wasn't there.
Do you choose and handle your friendships according to your friends's dick sizes
I sure do!
good size
He wished he wasn't there.
Yeah probably. But film promo is part of the job.

Isabel Lucas dating Hollywood hunk Jake Gyllenhaal
-The Daily Telegraph April 07, 2010
THE latest in an ever-growing line of men to be linked to Aussie charmer Isabel Lucas is swoon-worthy Hollywood hunk Jake Gyllenhaal. The Brothers actor, who co-starred with Heath Ledger in Brokeback Mountain, was spotted "all cuddled up" with the hippie chick recently in Montreal, where he is shooting a movie called Source Code.
Canadian confidantes say Gyllenhaal, who ended a relationship with Reese Witherspoon late last year, was trying to tempt Lucas to dance but with little luck. The former Home and Away starlet has previously dated Australian actor Joel Edgerton and Entourage star Adrian Grenier.
Gyllenhaal will soon hit the screens in the Hollywood blockbuster, Prince of Persia.
Jake's big pr wheels keep on rolling...
Jake's PR is using Lainey for posting heterosexual image stories and Jake doesn't know anything about it?
Pictured with his boyfriend, Rufus is wearing a pinkie ring.
Do straight men wear pinkie rings?
Yes, you need to get out more often.
Is the real problem with Sam Worthington's Clash of the Titans's its down-market 3-D effects, or that Worthington's scenes always have him clad in armor, rather than shirtless and showing off his bulging pecs? [Musto]
Queerty
A "pinky ring" was fashionable for male homosexuals between the 1950's-1970's to signify their orientation.
Engineers still wear the Iron Ring on their pinkie finger. In Morocco there's no man without a pinky ring, it's a sign of masculinity.
Some American blue bloods wear signet rings to emulate British or European aristocrats. If you read Jilly Cooper's book, 'Class', she argues that the signet ring is an upper middle class phenomenon, and an attempt to mimick the style of the upper class aristo. The royals wear them on the left pinky. Jilly says signet rings should not be worn in UK unless you are a boxer, football manager or nightclub owner.
Here in southern New England the wearing of a signet ring isn't very unusual or regarded as an affectation in socially conservative, well-educated circles.
In the US a pinky ring is an affectation that belongs in the trashbins of history. Forget it. If you want to wear a ring other than a wedding ring, wear it on the right ring finger. Pinky w stone etc - too ethnic shall we say. In Detroit, a pinky signet ring would likely be regarded as a Mafioso affectation or ghetto bling - at best, as trying too hard, at worst, as unmanly.
It's just jewelery, guys!
Sam Worthington's Heavage
mmmmm.
Worthington's scenes always have him clad in armor, rather than shirtless and showing off his bulging pecs
Amateurs.

So Jake and Rufus are trying to start a new fashion trend :)
I totally disagree on Austin not being an alpha male. Check out the biking pictures and coffee pictures of Austin & Jake.
I get a totally different vibe.
DUH!
Pinky rings on men are tacky and guido. It's suppose to be a sign now of being hardcore especially if there is a diamond on it but it just looks tacky.
A lot of lawyers still wear pinky rings, figures.
"Is that that the new sign for I'm a bottom?"
Uh oh. I wear pinky rings, too.
No wonder Jake and Austin don't hang out together! lol
Catching up on JJ, and the Jake post, and a couple of other things caught my eye.
Chris Pine went out on a "date" with Gaycrest's former beard on Friday night, and was seen going to Mass on Sunday with a mystery male.
There is a hilarious picture of the Chin holding the nanny's hand, with Deacon holding the nanny's other hand. Poor Ava looks unhappy, as always.
I get an alpha male vibe from Austin too when he's with Jake. And there's just something slightly submissive, for lack of a better word, about Jake's body language when he's with Austin, especially in the Borders photos.
pg and destiny, I have to agree with you re Austin in pics with Jake. Yeah, it's in the body language - it's subtle but it's there.
4:16 pm wrote "Top Gun ... Maverick"
Jake once said when he was growing up, he used to call his best friend Maverick for the guy in Top Gun.
Maverick's nickname for Jake was "Hollywood."
4:16 pm also wrote
"Jordan Hoffman: Uh, you mean Ice Man? Or Goose?
Jake Gyllenhaal: No, not them, but Goose and Ice Man are awesome."
Heh, Goose.
Chris Pine went out on a "date" with Gaycrest's former beard on Friday night
This is the third or fourth girl with lesbian or bearding rumors seen going out with Chris.
Chris has a problem with finding a girlfriend or his PR sucks at finding a good beard.
chatter about disapproval over a Caucasian actor playing a Persian, saying he's not a cowboy (or gay), either
He probably said he's "not a gay cowboy either" and some editor doctored up the phrase later.

May 4, 2007 - Jake, Austin and friends at Borders Bookstore in Hollywood
Guys who read books, how cool is that? :)
With shows such as Brothers & Sisters, Modern Family and the soon to be dearly missed Ugly Betty already part of its line-up, ABC has been the most gay-friendly network on television for quite some time. And that record of gay-inclusiveness is only set to increase if the network picks up the new comedy pilot It Takes a Village.
Written by Casey Johnson and David Windsor (Greek), ITAV stars Leah Remini (The King of Queens) and Christopher Sieber (It's All Relative) as two exes trying to raise their 15-year-old son while also navigating their post-divorce romantic relationships. And in the case of Sieber's character Howard, that relationship is with his new boyfriend Scott played by Cheyenne Jackson.
...
As for the set-up of ITAV, the pilot takes place on the day that Howard tells his ex-wife Karen and their son George that Howard and boyfriend Scott are moving in together after only dating for a few months. To further complicate matters, Howard purchased a house on the same block where Karen, George and Carl live.
As currently written, the pilot feels somewhat broad and the writing less sharp than that found in Modern Family. For the most part the characters are somewhat stock. Karen comes across as slightly neurotic, a woman not entirely over the fact that her marriage to a gay man – who was as much her best friend as husband – is over.
Meanwhile, Howard is a rather stereotypical gay man who got married and had a child before coming to terms with his sexuality. And now that he’s out, he wonders how his wife couldn’t have known the truth, something that comes out while they fight for possession of their mattress in the middle of their street.
...

Puerto Rican Television Proud to Call Countryman Ricky Martin a Pato
On SuperXClusivo , a program that airs on the independent InterMedia Partners-owned WAPA TV in Puerto Rico, where the host is a muppet, the prescient topic of Ricky Martin's coming out came up. It was discussed in these terms: Martin is a pato. Or, for the unfamiliar, a faggot. GLAAD has Spanish speakers over there, right?

WonderCon 2010: Guapo Cam Interview With Jake Gyllenhaal On Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time
By George 'El Guapo' Roush
Jake "Beefcake" Gyllenhaal blessed WonderCon with his dreamy eyes, cool unshaven chin and ripping muscles to talk to the rowdy press line hungry for all things Jake!
After putting on my makeup for what seemed like hours, I was ready to present myself to the hunkiest man in Hollywood. Jake answered all of my stupid questions on his new film The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, including the obvious one - "What's scarier, an Ostrich or Ben Kingsley?"
Jake also talks about his new movie Source Code, directed by Duncan Jones who previously did Moon with Sam Rockwell. Jake is a really cool dude, hanging out with everyone at a mixer later that night. Very funny guy.
Check out the interview below. And get ready to sigh over and over again at Jake's charming smile.

Wow, that's great about ITAV. It will be nice to see Cheyenne in a TV series. :)
^^Actually, it's quite historic, and on ABC. Good for them!

ooh, for a doglover, this is the ultimate porn. Adorable George!!!! Gosling is fine, too. ;)
Going by the photos Ryan has great rapport with George. Other pics of him and George on JJ showed that Ryan knows how to walk a dog properly - he uses a traditional leash (not a flexi) and holds it correctly. Yay Ryan!
btw, I've been meaning to post this for the other dog lover here (or anyone who needs a lift). Feel the love, bb.

I wish the Twitler (spreader of Twitter pollution) would stick to witty or informative Twitters, but 99% of them are dumb, meaningless and annoying.
Maybe a Twitter stream is the answer? Twitter has unveiled a new set of tools for embedding so it's easy. That way those who like can follow to their heart's content and the comments won't have to be full of Twitter litter. Just an idea.

Please define "informative Twitters".

No, it wouldn't, because the point is to save interesting tweets. And if you don't post the tweet you can forget about it in a few days because search returns only tweets from the last 5 days.
I love tweets because I'm curious about what random people think about Jake and his movies.
Then make one comment with say 5-10 tweets so the uninterested posters can scroll easier. Otherwise you're just spamming, sorry to say.

Maybe 5% of the tweets are Jake sightings. Some tweets are not even about Jake. You will continue to do what you want, I won't/can't stop you but it's my opinion. A lot of the tweets posted here are completely pointless imo.
