Jake and a friend leaving "Ammo" restaurant in West Hollywood, after having lunch on Saturday afternoon.
From Just Jared: The pair also grabbed dinner together at 50’s style diner Fred 62’s on Thursday night. Actress Erika Christiansen was also reportedly at his table, but she was with some other guy. Simmer down, she looks like a PR person! Jake is currently in the middle of doing press for his CIA flick Rendition..."
More pictures at Just Jared.
Lunch at "Ammo"
The untucked clean crisp white shirt with a great pair of tailored trousers, perfect combination of casual classic.
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks a million Special (I apologize for not saying this in the other thread - manners, manners).
ReplyDeleteHe looks positively superb in those pics, and this from a bona fide member of the anti-beard brigade. ;) Untucked shirts definitely suit him fine and I love it when he wears white.
OT: I ordered House of Usher through Amazon. Can't wait to get this DVD. :)
Now that I've had a day to digest them I don't find the Interview pictures as disturbing as I did yesterday. I really liked your post bltb, I was hoping you would weigh in on them. I know I am reading too much into them, and yet I find myself doing it even though I agree with bltb and everyone else who quite rationally argue it is no different than any other work of art. I guess on some level I feel like maybe he has captured something about Jake, and I think that something has to do with the closet.
ReplyDeleteBut on to happier pictures. I love this look on Jake, not many men can do such justice to a plain white shirt.
Ughhh.

Jake rocks white shirts like no one I've ever seen - I envy that! And his clothes often fit and hang on him so beautifully that they almost become invisible or a part of him - if that makes any sense. His clothes seem incidental. Don't worry, I should've been in bed a half hour ago, lol.
ReplyDeleteOT: I finally got around to listening to Jake and Richard Kelly's commentary on the original Donnie Darko DVD after owning it, oh, forever. I had noticed a lot of fans over the years saying it was a must-listen and I now have to agree. Not just for insight into the film and great anecdotes, but I was brought to tears hearing Richard Kelly note scenes and elements that moved him; things that I and I'm sure a lot of other viewers felt. That was unexpected. Jake is also pretty funny and very enthusiastic; it's sweet.
Jake made mention of the scene in the hotel where Donnie's parents are lying in bed, his mother resting on his father's stomach and her head moving as his father breathes. Jake sort of made a joke about it, but it was a detail I've always loved and just the fact that he was aware of something so subtle in the film made me so happy. Yet another love for Jake solidification moment. He can also quote other people's lines and has a real giddy love for the movie overall. Makes me wonder how many times he's watched it. :)
Destiny, thank you for your kind comment. I'm glad something comes through in my streams of consciousness!
Now, THAT's a hot bachelor! (Wish it were another hot bachelor walking next ot him though...)
ReplyDelete^ It would be lovely - a Jaustin pic is long overdue.
ReplyDeleteAs a member of the anti-beardy-beard league, I prefer the controversial Interview shots to this one :)
This lady looks familiar.
I LOATHE Perez, and normally avoid his site like the plague, but... Jake and Rufus at Hollywood Bowl.
ReplyDeleteFrom DL:
ReplyDelete"Rufus Wainwright at the Hollywood Bowl doing his Judy Garland concert.
Jake G. sat 5 seats away from me in one of the boxes--with Jamie Lee Curtis (his godmother) and Christopher Guest."
"I saw Bruce Vilanch feet from Jake G (with his mother, an utterly plain girl, and a cute guy - surprise)"
http://www.datalounge.com/cgi-bin/iowa/forum/thread/gossip/5458085/page-1.html
Cool to here that Jake was enjoying the Rufus' show. Maggie and Peter caught his tribute to Judy in New York. Seems like the G's like Rufus.
ReplyDeleteRattler - the hunt is on for the song. Talk about an apropos song.
The hunt is for the cute guy, surely :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a very flattering look for Jake. I find myself liking the neat, trimmed beard on him more and more (sorry, wicked). It was only the unkempt out-of-control beard from last year that I found so unappealing.

ReplyDeleteI don't think anyone was too fond of sad Wolfie boy of last summer.
Looks like Rufus wasn't the only show Jake took in this past week.
ReplyDeleteThis from comments on Just Jared:
"Re: Arcade Fire @ The Hollywood Bowl 9/20/07
...It was my first experience in the pool area and was great but still prefer the terrace area (centered) for better/louder sound. I was in the 7th row in section d and saw Jake Gyllenhaal in a first row garden box behind me."

It's interesting that none of the sightings mentioned Reese was at the concert with Jake, but USA today is saying she was there.
ReplyDeletefrom USA today:
"Don't believe those rumors that Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon are split. USA TODAY'S Will Keck saw them together last night at the Hollywood Bowl. They were in the star-studded crowd there to hear Rufus Wainwright muddle through Judy Garland's song collection."
http://blogs.usatoday.com/entertainment/
from Just Jared:
"Jake was reportedly there with Reese AND his family — director father Stephen Gyllenhaal and his actress godmother Jamie Lee Curtis. Welcome to the Gyllencircle, Reese!!!!!"

ReplyDeleteFurther Jake and Reese sighting from E!online
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmm....
From WFT:
ReplyDelete"Sat near Jake last night at bowl. It wasn't the 5th row either. No Naomi, no Reese, just Stephen and Jaime Lee Curtis. There wasn't even a blond in either of the boxes, unless you count Christopher Guest. It was Jaime Lee and Guest plus two bald "gentle" men in one box and Stephen and Jake plus another couple (man and woman)in the other box. The other couple arrived together before Jake and Stephen. Don't give me shit about being flippant with the gentlemen comment - I'm gay and it was pretty obvious.
And to show I have no horse in this race - I have an aquaintance (best I can do sorry, so go ahead an tear that apart) who has met Jake and Reese "together" at an informal and personal (non-business, no-show for paps or PR) setting late spring early summer."

ReplyDeleteCeleb Sightings
Dubious saw Ashley Olsen chain-smoking while having dinner with Austin Nichols (star of the recently cancelled John From Cincinnati) at Chateau Marmont last night."
dayoldnews.blogspot.com
Not surprising. They know each other from years past having done a film together. And they're doing another film together soon.I wonder if they'll be in scenes together. I'm pretty sure Ashley will play Anne. Maybe Austin plays the young studio exec who she briefly lives with before he kills himself (and she inherits his apartment).
ReplyDeleteOK, folks, listen up!
ReplyDeleteEvery TBer, every Jake fan, every American, every person should be involved in this event.
Seven Straight Nights
An opportunity to put some action behind all our pretty words, to help our fellow citizens by being counted, to stand up and speak out for those blessed with honesty's courage.
Who'sthat- maybe Jake and Reese were both at the same concert and afterparty but not there together?
ReplyDeleteAustin sighting- weird! But then again, they did do a movie together.
So Austin is in LA too. :)

ReplyDeleteDon't believe a word of it.
Yes 8:09 Ashley and Austin did do Holiday in the Sun. Scary that I know this but then again seeing it 12 times because my niece loved the Olsen Twins it is now permanently stuck in my brain.
ReplyDeleteShooting starts next months for The Informers.
Hey 8:09, I hate typing numbers, is there a name that I can use?
Mad as Hell
ReplyDeleteThank you for the link for Seven Straight Nights.
Mad as Hell- that looks like an awesome event. I went to the website and found this quote. I've seen it so often and yet is bears repeating once again-
ReplyDeleteFirst they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.
Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.
- Pastor Martin Niemoller
Who'sthat- you don't think Reese was there at all? It did seem like quite the star-studded event.
This just tells you how uninteresting and boring I find Jake and Reese. I actually find Ashley Olsen and Austin (even though I'm sure that was a friendly business dinner/catching up session) a hundred times more interesting than Jake/Reese and Ashley Olsen reminds me of a scarecrow but even a scarecrow is ten times more interesting than Mr. and Miss. Vanilla/Cardboard. I like people with flaws, people who don't pretend to be perfect or anything they're not--that is Reese and that is Jake with Reese.

awful truth:
ReplyDeleteStaged 'n' Engaged
Celebs come out in full force for the Rufus Wainwright concert at the Hollywood Bowl...Why was Jake Gyllenhaal so shy at the songfest? Plus, we tackle your e-rants and cyber-raves!Brokeback Bowl!
Hilton and Spears blabbing tomorrow, a sex act by a major boob-tube star caught in the coat check of a Hollywood record store later in the week (it’s so delicious, worth the wait, promise), but today, just how a lotta H-town was having a gay ol’ time! Too fey fer words.Sunday night at the Hollywood Bowl, renegade singer (and Brokeback Mountain collaborator) Rufus Wainwright channeled Judy Garland to various levels of success. R.W. interpreted the drugged-out icon magnificently (i.e., on his own mucho talented terms and not just a mimicking) until his voice faltered—and, instead of powering on, in whatever fashion he could—W simply apologized, repeatedly, and kind of stumbled continuously in front of the big-ticket crowd. Such the letdown.Was this the reason Jake Gyllenhaal, in his pullover and baseball cap, kept crouching further and further down in his seat, the longer the show went on? Rod Stewart and Debbie Reynolds, who were both wearing bullet-proof blondie-locks that certainly looked as if they could have been styled by the same hairspraying Judy-ite, were more stalwart. You could just feel their old-school willing for Wainwright to bolster up and carry on. Didn’t happen.Jimmy Fallon was simply too busy getting mauled by screaming little-girl fans to pay attention to the wholly unhetero dynamic nearby, but CAA’s humpy Bryan Lourd stood steadfast by R.W., praying to the homo heavens above, I’m sure, for Rufus to pull out his trademark stiff upper sass (six degrees of icon status: Lourd is the father of Reynold’s granddaughter, as he used to be Carrie Fisher’s partner).Back to that seat-sliding Jakey-love. Do you think Mr. Gee was simply too embarrassed that he was seen with the same company as he had been that morning? You know, the equivalent of being caught with the same outfit at two events—something, I’m sure, reported girlfriend Reese Witherspoon would have been horrified by. Why, there, in the middle of this guy posse, just a few boxes over from Fallon, was J and Jamie Lee Curtis and the same good-lookin’ hunk o’ dude meat J.G. had breakfast with that ayem.Just another insane Wainwright fan, ya think? Or are you scrambling for other explanations? I wouldn’t, if, I were you. You’d have better luck pilfering the protestors to come.
Dear Ted:
ReplyDeleteIs there some sort of gay etiquette that keeps you from outing Toothy Tile and his closeted ilk? Like a pink wall of silence, or something?
Nancy

Dear Swampy Swishy:
I prefer to think of it as a chartreuse shield of barely there morals, heretical as such a dynamic might be in this biz.
Dear Ted:
First time sending in a BV guess. You previously hinted Toothy Tile was born (and lives) directly north of Orange County, California. Someone on the message board keeps insisting that T.T. is Ryan Gosling, who was born in Canada. Can you either exclude Ryan Gosling or say that T.T. was born in L.A., which is directly north of OC. I don't know how this person thinks Canada is directly north of OC, but I am tired of listening to the arguments.

Dear Message Bored:
You bet, babe! Ain’t Ryan, though what an utterly exquisite guess, I must say. Think ever so slightly less butch and a tad (or more) closer down from Canada.
Dear Ted:
Regarding everyone's favourite obsession, Toothy: Two guesses here…Eric Balfour or Haley Joel Osment?
Kyle
Vancouver, Canada
Dear Ice-Cold Canuck:
So no to both, boyfriend. T.T.’s way more well known that your first guess and considerably older than your second suspect.
Dear Ted:
ReplyDeleteYou were once considered edgy, but, now you're just stodgy. The Blind Vices may serve to titillate some, but you're so worried about being sued they're indecipherable. Are you only interested in being a rich queen? Or would you rather be a revered icon? You could be both if you quit running scared.
M.P.
Dear George Clooney:
Darling, did that motorcycle accident mess you up that badly? Sure are a grump today! Hey, can I help it everybody thinks you're Toothy Tile?
Ted modified the original post and added the Jeese sighting at the party:
ReplyDelete"...I’m sure, reported girlfriend Reese Witherspoon would have been horrified by (indeed, could that have been what J 'n' Reese were gabbing about at the post-Bowl do my E! chum Marc Malkin winked to?)..."
Wow, Ted has just basically told the world Jake spent the night with the hunk, who I am assuming is Austin. I think if it wasn't the boyfriend Ted would have managed to work in a reference to that fact.
ReplyDeleteSo Jake's in LA, and if the Austin/Olsen sighting is true, then Austin is there also. I like to think that Jake was in Austin, TX and that J&A flew back to LA together. I just hope we get a new photo soon.
ReplyDeleteRiddle me this. Could Austin dinner and chat with Ashley be during the same time Jake was chatting with Reese at the party.
ReplyDeleteNeeding them to be both busy and not together during the same time period?
I think you may be on to something there, special. Seems too coincidental to be a coincidence. ;)
ReplyDeleteRemember, there are no coincidences in HW. ; )
ReplyDeleteJust another insane Wainwright fan, ya think? Or are you scrambling for other explanations? I wouldn’t, if, I were you. You’d have better luck pilfering the protestors to come.
ReplyDeleteWhat does this mean?
Here's another confusing thing. Is it just so chilly in LA right now that you have fire up those fireplaces?
ReplyDeleteWicked, I think that might be a reference to fangurls saying Jake was at Wilco to see Wilco, not Austin, and that Austin was at Rufus to be with Jake, not just to see Rufus.
ReplyDeleteYes Destiny -- ITA!
ReplyDeleteWicked, I hadn't even noticed that comment in Ted's column, so thanks for pointing it out.
ReplyDeleteHere's another confusing thing. Is it just so chilly in LA right now that you have fire up those fireplaces?
ReplyDeleteApparently it goes down to 54-59F at night. Not cold by my standards.
I can't believe I'm writing this! ;)
Wicked, I think it means that it will be very hard for us to find out who that guy was and whether he is linked romantically with Jake. Because nobody is going to tell.
ReplyDeleteAnd I can see why. I wouldn't let the whole world (i.e. blogs :) know if I saw Austin at TIFF.
Rattler, you maybe right.
ReplyDeleteI think those in HW who know will not say out of respect for them.
Ay, but I fear you speak upon the rack,
ReplyDeleteWhere men enforced do speak anything.
(Portia to Bassanio, Merchant of Venice)
This is a very popular quote to indicate that a person under duress would say anything to end the torment. Has significance w.r.t. Rendition.
"Just another insane Wainwright fan, ya think? Or are you scrambling for other explanations? I wouldn’t, if, I were you. You’d have better luck pilfering the protestors to come."
ReplyDeleteIt could be a reference to what happens lately that each time there is a sighting of them together, the new strategy is planting another one that discredit it. For example: Jake at ACL and dinner in LA at the same time or now Austin at the concert and having dinner at the Chateau Marmot.
It is curious that if it was Austin at the Rufus Concert, Ted did not identify him and only mentioned him as a random guy but implying he was Jake's date.
As much as I want to believe Austin was there, I don't think it was him with Jake or Ted could have said it in a different way. I know there is another sighting of a 'cute guy' with Jake but at this point I think Austin could have been identified.
but the Austin sighting having dinner with Ashley Olsen is weird as it is too much of a coincidence it is the same night and we never get random sightings of him like this one.
from DL:
ReplyDelete"r52: "Don't believe those rumors that Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon are split. USA TODAY'S Will Keck saw them together last night at the Hollywood Bowl."
I sat 6 feet away from him--Reese was NOWHERE to be seen in his box or at intermission. He sat next to a guy probably 15-20 years older than he was. And in reference to crouching further and further--while Jake G. did slouch down at times, he was also clapping along to numerous songs, including "Let me entertain you. r84"
"r84 here--sorry, the song was "That's Entertainment"--and Jake G. was clapping and laughing like a true fan!"

ReplyDeleteCuriouser and curiouser. I'm going with Special's thought process, though, based on Ted's report. I like the rose-coloured specs.
It occurred to me, if the slumping in the seat is true and that's not just Jake's preferred posture, that he might have been embarrassed his dad was there if Rufus wasn't on top form. Just an empathy thought I'm throwing out.
So, Austy is renewing acquaintance with la twin ahead of the Informers? :) Believe it or not I quite like the twins; saw one of those THS biogs on them and enjoyed every minute :)
Rattler makes a very good point above.
from people.com:
ReplyDelete"Jake Gyllenhaal, taking in an Arcade Fire concert at the Hollywood Bowl. The actor, incognito in a baseball cap and hooded sweatshirt, bobbed his head to the music but had to take cover when the noise got too loud, plugging his ears as the crowd cheered, says a fellow concertgoer. Also rocking out: Rod Stewart and wife Penny Lancaster, who were escorted in by security halfway through the show, and new Emmy winner James Spader."

From UsMagazine:
ReplyDelete"Celebs rebounding after divorce:
REESE WITHERSPOON
The Oscar-winning actress, 31, filed for divorce from her husband of seven years in October 2006 after rumors that Phillippe, 33, had an affair with his Stop Loss costar, Abbie Cornish. There were also reports that Phillippe's jealousy over Witherspoon's successful career played a role in the breakup as well. The actress later found happiness in the arms of Oscar-nominated actor Jake Gyllenhaal, 26. "Reese got lucky and found someone who she was very passionate about and felt was her equal. [Jake] is on the same level as she is, career-wise, and I don't think either one of them is threatened by the other." Witherspoon and Gyllenhaal are no longer together, but the relationship had a healthy run. Lawrence added: "Whatever issues may have been there with her and Ryan weren't there with her and Jake.""

Please, it really isn't long since I had breakfast.
ReplyDelete"Whatever issues may have been there with her and Ryan weren't there with her and Jake."
ReplyDeleteOf course not, because Jake has no interest in hitting the likes of Abby Cornish. It's another A that turns his head, in a manner of speaking.
The Arcade Fire show was at the Hollywood Bowl on the 20th.
ReplyDeleteI posted this yesterday:

New tactic? It'd be a great PR-ish way of saying Reese wasn't there but hey, they are a downlow couple anyway folks.
Blech, more mud in the water. This stuff's being thrown about on purpose.
The actress later found happiness in the arms of Oscar-nominated actor Jake Gyllenhaal, 26....Witherspoon and Gyllenhaal are no longer together, but the relationship had a healthy run.
ReplyDeleteIn fantasy land and on Car Pooling Paparazzi mornings, yes, it was very healthy, very healthy indeed. ;)
Oh, wow. Just wow!

"Reese got lucky and found someone who she was very passionate about and felt was her equal. [Jake] is on the same level as she is, career-wise, and I don't think either one of them is threatened by the other."
ReplyDeleteLast month they had "exercising" in common, then "liking kids" now it's their status level. If Reese are real they are the least passionate couple I have ever heard of!
That US magazine article makes no sense. It goes on and on about how Reese and Ryan had issues and she and Jake didn't, yet they're not together any more.
ReplyDeleteSo, uh, why did they 'split'?
I don't adore the Olsen twins but I do think they cop a lot of flak, some completely unjustified.
Don't think the Austin sighting is random though cause it involved Ashley and she's pretty known.
Still not sure whether I think J&A are still together or not but am in their shoes right now. I have found myself extremely attracted to a woman who happens to be a lesbian. She and I catch the same bus into work and she has completely floored me. After a few weeks of back and forth flirting, we started talking on Monday. Not sure where it will lead, but new territory for me.
