Taking another bite out of the Big Apple topic of the week, there is this, Jake's gift to New York and children everywhere.
The story is The Man Who Walked Between the Towers. Written by Mordicai Gerstein it tells the story of Philippe Petit's tight rope walk between Manhattan's World Trade Center towers in 1974. Jake reads the lyrical story of that not only tells of Petit's incredible feat but a beautiful memorial of the Twin Towers.
Thanks Rattler!

Got this pic in my Google alerts of Jake at LAX, dated today. But I could swear I've seen this pic before and that it's actually from months ago.
It is Wicked. It was when Jake flew to NY in June.
Wicked & Special K,
have you got the time to take a peek at ZIP file / Word files I've sent you (ohmygodot@gmail.com)?
You are correct Special I remember the bag.

Tom, I'd say if we get through Valentine's Day, we're home free! It is getting tiresome, isn't it.
I agree netb. I expect pics between NY eve and Valentines Day. I expect and hope that Jake will be spending NYs eve Eve with the same person he did last year and it was not Chris or Reese. One thing hopefully we will be spared also is a red carpet show during awrad season. I see no opportunity for management to parade jeese on the red carpet. Of course either could be a presenter but normally presenters dont get a lot of attention pre awrad show.
Look at his sunshine smile in that pic! The last time we saw that beaming glow was...was...oh,yeah NYC in October, those heady digital dance days.
G*d, I miss those!
Tom, Jake has said the red carpet is work, so I don't know that we'll see him with anyone for any award shows. Then again . . . this all may be part of work! ;) I agree that this pairing is not having the desired effect.
I'd say that we may need an economy size bottle of Pepto to get through Valentine's Day, but we'll see. ;)
Thanks for posting about The Man Who Walked Between the Towers, guys. I love the illustrations and Jake's narration is just as soothing for grown-ups as it is for children,post 9/11. :*
Loving today's music, and yesterday's by Heather Nova.
Oh, London, darling, no, I am not related to Madame Swiss, but we are both women of refinement and good taste, so it's no wonder you thought that. ;)
I've already given my advice to Reese about young Gigolo, er, Gyllenhaal. He's absolutely divine, isn't he? But take it slow! Actually, he'd make a lovely boyfriend for my darling daughter Bijoux! I must see about arranging something.
Sigh, I'm still thinking fondly of my Tag Heuer from Switzerland. Those holidays in Gstaad, and did I tell you he was a Formula 1 racecar driver as well as a former Olympic gold medalist skier? Don't tell Harry! ;) Ta-ta!
Thanks for the video, Special. Jake's narration is really special. He has a very soothing and silky voice. Perfect for this. It is also a really nice tribute to the World Trade Center.
^^ Thank you too, Rattler!
Tiff, you know Jake allegedly gave Reese that Cartier necklace. Do you see it in any of these pics? It would be a strange thing to wear while jogging. But if it was so superduper special to her, wouldn't she wear it all the time?
Lots of interesting comments and insight into all the Reeke stuff in the other posts, especially from Wicked. I think it reflects a "throw shit and see what sticks" attitude on the part of pr.
As for the Austin sighting, it obviously came from someone who knows a lot about him (I didn't look at the original source because it is too hard to do that with dial-up service). What really struck me in particular is how would the writer know that Austin went to another gate to get a flight unless they followed him? And if they did that, then the person knew exactly where Austin's flight was going and chose not reveal that information, probably so as to not stir things up.
Thanks hjulia for all the Austin information and the picture. I have to say I agree with Special and Tom that there is something about him with that blond hair, although I don't like the short cut on the side.
The Star stuff is just more nonsense that makes Jake look bad imo. And even if the Star is the one turning it into an add for Cartier, Jake still has to some of the blame.
Who'sthat, I just tried to open those files and they won't open for me. I want Spesh to try and see if they work for her.
Necklace, I agree - I'd never want to take special jewelry off. I never took Harry's, ahem, considerable jewels off whenever he bestowed me with them. Even while jogging, I'd just tuck the pendant into my decolletage and everything would be just fine! However, I did spy a ring on the lovely Ms. Witherspoon's hand. It's not a clear picture, so I couldn't tell if it's the Bulgari or not? There's no way to tell if she's wearing the necklace.
"However, I did spy a ring on the lovely Ms. Witherspoon's hand."
Uh-oh...
London tb, I don't think I'm lurker tb, although I wish I was.
Also, I'm now totally convinced that Reeke has been cooked up to ease Reese through the post-divorce blues, and really there's nothing like a gay best friend to help a girl get over a cheating shit of an ex-husband.
With regard to the ring in the photo, as an ex-jogger, I think it would be very, very difficult to jog with a ring attached to your finger that is also attached to a chain. Just not feasible really.
Also, you may like to know that Ian McKellan (Sir) has just been made a Companion of Honour in the New Year's Honours list. I have absolutely no idea what this means except that it is probably very posh and involves a trip to Buckingham Palace to meet the Queen. Congrats Sir Ian.
"However, I did spy a ring on the lovely Ms. Witherspoon's hand."
Uh-oh...
Not really, firstly its on the wrong figure, secondly, don't the best engagement rings usually involved huge diamonds.
Maybe Jake is just a incorrigable giver of rings. First Kirsten, then after Christmas 2005 Austin turns up with a ring, now four days after Christmas Reese is wearing a new ring-----everybody will say it's from Jake you know.
This hammers another nail in the Toothy coffin. It's a present from her bf.
its funny how she's jogging around in a cap advertising her latest film while sporting some jewellery tat, she's not the classiest broad is she?
Prepare for another weekend of reeke folks.... you have been warned.
http://perezhilton.com/?p=11187
Reese has been wearing that ring for a while now on her middle finger.
Are the rings Reese is wearing on her middle finger the same as the rings on this necklace? If so, she's had them since at least Rome.
^^Elementary, my dear Wicked. Mystery solved. Both the ring on her finger and chain could explain it. The one on her finger is very likely the one in the jogging pics.
Oh my god.. its obviously going to be the day of the rings.
What keeps me interested in this story is how two multi-millionaires can be bothered to wank about with bits of jewellery for about the 28 saddos who care about whether they're doing it or not. We're not talking Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor here are we. (Its great to see the rich and semi-famous debase themselves in this manner).
It's rather sweet really.
...b'fast in bed would be more romantic than eggs on the Pier.
But, maybe Jake had already been there, done Austin, then met beard for coffee and PR.
LOL ^ who are all these people? Well, with my record of mistaken identities today (so sorry Tiff and Meg) I won't attempt to guess :)
Meg, the CH means Sir Ian is one of the 65 special people in the arts who get to tell the Queen what to like ;)
Thanks London, (looks like old queeny, as in er, will have some very interesting dinner parties next year).

I think because this sighting was reported by Perez, there will be pics rather than just LJ reports of Jeese.
I think you're right wicked... I just can't believe that they're still subjecting themselves to this. I mean, its getting to be humiliating.
Maybe they just don't read or care about the opinion and are just sort of doing it by the book because that's how it's always been done ...
I have a theory that when it all ends, Jake will be seen with a quick succession of different girls to reinforce the str8ness.
Hmmm...pictures two days after speculation of a visit to NY with the Goose. Sounds like a familiar tune.
...b'fast in bed would be more romantic than eggs on the Pier.

I agree..
Aren't people that go out for breakfast those sad couples you see reading the papers just to avoid having to speak to each other at some crappy coffee shop or cafe.
Surely the best breakfast is taken in the bedroom.
Jeese has to spend public time together during the holidays. How can they let Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, and Jake's birthday all go by without being seen together? People might think they're not a real couple!
And once again they've got it all wrong...
I think there were quite some people who weren't completely convinced that Jake and Austin spent Christmas in New York together.
And instead of just leaving it at that, they had to pretty much confirm that Jake actually did spend time with Austin by doing damage control via Perez (hopefully they'll at least leave it at that, but I'm not too hopeful).
Evelyn just doesn't get it, does she?
The more she tries, the more obvious it becomes.

Especially with the comments. Jake and Reese really should have kept this thing on the quiet.
Yes, like #42 -
I saw Jake in Soho last week walking with some guy.
Also interesting is the number of comments. WAY down.

People find this couple boring and don't want to talk about them.
I saw Jake in Soho last week walking with some guy.
This does not seem likely. Jake was on set last week, pretty much for the whole week, right? I really don't understand why people make up sightings!
Well, if Jake was in NYC around Christmas time, this is possible (especially if that airline sighting was correct).
Gossip Girl, you could be right, but I think he wouldn't have gotten to NY until the beginning part of this week rather than last week.
Maybe the sighter meant early this week (if the sighting is true). Please, this is Perez Hilton and the posters aren't the world's brightest people.
Farther down in the Perez comments a girl says that she saw Jake walking out of a deli at night on Christmas Eve, on Bleeker Street in NY.
I wonder about that Reeke pic of her jogging and wearing a ring on her middle lefthand finger (stars are known to wear it on the middle finger when they are engaged). Ive seen pics of her jogging before and I dont remember her wearing any jewelry while running. So it reekes of a PR stunt, her jogging, looking all madeup and perfect hair, wearing a hat with her film name ad on it and a mysterious "new" ring on her left hand a few days after Christmas.
As predicted, here are Jeese pics from today. Reese is wearing a new ring on what appears to be the ring finger of her right hand.
Ann C..
Would you like me to post you links to all the photos of Reese with the ring on..
Here are a few

If these links don't work then just do a google search under images and type Reese Witherspoon Jogging, or look at Splash photos of her for the year, Just Jared photos or even x17 or Flynet. Reese has had the ring since long ago and she was wearing it all the time.
Gotta love Jake keeping his hands full every time they are out together.
Oh no. Here are the Reeke pics from today in Santa Monica.
It shows her wearing a diamond on her right hand, looks like the same flat gold ring is still on her left middle finger.
http://www.flynetonline.com/2007/12/jake-and-reese-are-happier-tha/
Sorry, I dont know how to make links. And sorry to bring bad news/pics. :(
And the tag on Flynet? Wedding Bells, wow that is subtle isn't it.
And that is ring is supposed to me what?
You know I have been told to leave room between for the Holy Ghost but man you could bring the entire Trinity between those two in these pictures.
Thanks Ann for the links to the pics.
Funny how it shows back up now, isn't it?
Ann C again..
I can also provide links to photos to which Jake is not holding items in his hands and touching Reese.
I won't do that because it would be rather easy.
There are many photos of him with his arms around her, holding her hand and actually kissing and touching her face.
I have no problem with bloggers making claims, but at least make an effort to check out some of the facts, it's easy to do, especially with the internet and photographic evidence.
Ann C. -
I believe the no touching reference was for the Santa Monica pictures. They are not even close in any of those.
As to Rome and the whole other mishegas, even though their arms are around each other, they look as comfortable as folks sitting in a dentist chair.
So, no thanks. Have no need to see the catalogue of Showmance 101 again.
When you've received a Rock of Gibraltar diamond engagement ring from a previous husband, it's usually transferred to the right hand. It's perfectly appropriate -I should know, I've had two husbands and one almost husband (and no it wasn't Tag).
The ring could be the Bulgari sparklah from Jake, but it's hard to tell, it's not a clear picture. At any rate, a ring worn on the right hand does not imply any permanent commitment! These two look like good friends, it looks like the enterprising Ms. Witherspoon is trying to surprise him with a hug in one of the pics, but mission not accomplished! :)
Jake in New York
"I don't know about last week. But I saw him on Bleecker Street on Christmas Eve. Honestly, I had no idea that was him until my friend pointed it out to me. And then I saw she was right. (He was coming out of a deli). Photos do NOT do him in justice–even at night."
Nicely predicted, Wicked, and huge chasm of December quality time nicely bridged, CAA! Flynet seem to be well onside too.
Now I don't want to hear anything about the nasty papses ever again. All Reeke has shown me is that stahs can show us exactly what they want us to see. Time was, Jake seemed to be showing something real - that window has closed.
They do not look like a newly-engaged couple.
^ ITA with bells on.
