Santa hat? Check
Speedo? Check
Running Shoes? Check
Sounds like Jake had everything needed to participate in The 8th Annual Santa Speedo run in Boston held this past Saturday. Damn, if Brothers had gone with Boston as a location instead of New Mexico.
No the run is not in honor of Jake's movin' and groovin' in Jarhead, but a winter run through the streets of Boston to raise money for women and children charities in the Boston area. This year was the Women's Lunch Place, a daytime community for poor and homeless women and their children.
Like many a "just so crazy it might work" idea, the run was thought up hanging out at a local bar, with just 5 guys stepping up and running it the first year, it has grown to several hundred who stripped down to their speedos Saturday and pounded the pavement for a good cause.
Sure walking out of a mall in Southern California in Speedo is one thing, but running in one in 20F in December now that's a dare. See ya next year Jake?

Warm up pic - Santa on the left is doing one arm push-ups.
I'm impressed :)
-- Reese Witherspoon, Jake Gyllenhaal and her two children, Ava and Deacon, visited the Aquarium by the Bay. Gyllenhaal came in first to distract the crowds before Witherspoon arrived.
SF Chronicle reporting Jeese and kids visit to the aquarium
Wonder why it took them so long?
Distract the crowds?!
Wow, so now we know where those gossip columnist at the SF Chronicle get their gossip from...
Obscure bloggers that aren't even sure what they saw in the first place.
Kind of different than the latest sighting of Jake on a double date with Chelsea, isn't it? The contributor who wrote that saw them in person and didn't just copy a blog post.
Wow, nice guns on Rudolph! ;)
Yeah, "it's awful nice, it's Paradise" around here today at 19 degrees today Cute Post! ;)
I forgot to add, Happy Happy Birthday to Guisi! :)
Nothing wrong with gossip columnists getting their gossip from blogs, LJ's, obscure or not and even the not so obscure DL. It has been happening for years.
So in other words Jake was never actually in the same spot as Reese and the kids because he was there to distract people--lol. Once again Jake comes off sounding like a lackey. We also seem to be back to those sightings where they don't quite seem to be together hmmmm.
Happy Birthday Guisi!
Buon compleanno (((Guisi)))!
My God, how many Sags do we have here? :D
Love that buff picture of Jake in his Santa hat.
Wanted to ask where and when that picture of Austin on Saturday's post was taken? I'd say he's a social smoker - a few drinks and he has the occasional smoke. Me too.
Aside from the cigarette in his hand I couldn't help noticing how big the ring looks on him. I would add "and how ugly" but I know some tbs have come to like the gaudy object ;-) I can see why after 18 months of wearing it he might have felt it was a bit too noticeable to wear during the PR push for JFC, and with the rumors heating up again.
This was on Reese's thread on FCC. Have no idea if it's true or not.

I am just a bit curious...Her profile was found on millionaire dating site MillMatch.com last week. I heard she just broke up with her boyfriend! I am wondering what kind of relationship she is looking for on that site!"
Those comments about Reese have been floating around on all kinds of blogs. Seems like someone is trying to get some buzz and traffic over to the MillMatch site.
Max --
The picture of Austin -- it has been around for a while. Hjulia is the wonderful person who found it. I just love his laugh in it.
The ring..like to think he got an even more meaningful one that he keeps closer. (pushing the rose colored glasses back up on my nose)
Thanks! We are so sweet! *__*
As always ask to receive a Jaustin present but my wish is for the year 2008. I hope that the deal Reese unmount and return to see our guy together...I love the Christmas jake dance, it's a moment very sexy, ihihihihihihi
Well we do have the photographic proof that Austin is wearing a new ring, SK, even if the reason for it is moot......
What I find odd about the SF Chronicle mention of Jeese and kids is not that they might have gotten it from an LJ but that it took them so long to post it.
I've read those rumors about Reese and the millionaire dating site too. But I've never seen anything about it that looked remotely credible. And nobody is ever able to link to her profile when they talk about it. Can't buy that one until I see it.
Whoops! Forgot to say happy birthday to my fellow Sagittarius, Giusi-poo! Have a great day, girl! :)

I agree Spesh & Wicked. BTW, they said the same thing about Jonathan Rhys-Meyer recently, and again no link to the profile.
giusi-poo, I wish you love ,peace, and a jausty picture for your birthday!!!!
Happy birthday, giusi!*
Cute post, Spesh *
Someone's definitely pimping out these millionaire/billionaire dating sites. Check this link about Queen Latifah saying there won't be a wedding with her personal trainer in US Weekly. Scroll down through the comments and find this-

Yesterday, I saw her joined the celebrity and millionaire dating site billionairecupid.com. Seems she is dating someone there.
Weird.
^ Wicked, it is a classic example of spam. I have seen a similar message about a dozen other celebrities on other blogs.
Oups, forgot to say thanks for that very sexy - and totally unsafe-for-work post Special. :)
Strange thing happened yesterday. As the blizzard was raging (I had trouble seeing my neighbor's house across the street) we got rumbling thunder and powerful lightnings! That made me think about TDAT and all that wheather "gone astray", lol!
Seriously this was a first for me and it's quite impressive. Apparently this can happen and has nothing to do with climate changes. I read online about somebody in Boston who experienced the same phenomenon.
Zero, do those sites charge money to join? That's the only reason I can figure for people pimping them out on blogs. Somebody's gotta be making some money off this deal.
Snow with thunder and lighting does happen in Boston. There is something powerful when you look out and see the brilliance of lighting across darkened snow sky, feel the rumble of thunder and hear howl of the wind in the middle of a powerful New England Nor'easter storm.
If you are crazy enough to bundle up and go out in the middle of it, is awe inspiring to go to the beach near high tide and watch the sea's fury, with waves breaking over the sea wall sending spray that almost freezes instantly as it hits anything in its path.
Great post and another creative tie-in to Jake! The Santa Speedo Run sounds like a fun, traffic-stopping event. Good thing Jake wasn't involved - he might have caused permanent gridlock. ;)
Boston would have no problem with the gridlock. Here's hoping Jake runs one year. You know they do have Red Sox Santa's Hats if Jake feels the need to show his pride in Red Sox Nation.
There were no actors in this year's crazy runnng crew, despite so many in town filming. James Marsden and Cameron Diaz, Frank Langella are filming The Box, a horror flick here, and Ethan Hawke, and Mark Ruffalo are finishing up filming Real Men Cry with Amanda Peet and Donny Wahlberg.
But Mr.McConaughey will start filming with Jennifer Garner in February in Ghost's of Girlfriends Past. Somehow I'm sure he will be running the streets of Boston without a shirt despite the weather. : )

Has anybody famous ever done the Santa Speedo run? I think McBongo would be up for it.
Frenchy, I now want to see snow lightning.
Wicked, they might not charge people to subscribe, but they might be able to charge company for ads put on their site, in which case generating traffic is a must. I haven't checked that site in particular, just because I don't want to contribute to their traffic ;-)
Now that I've closed my door to eat lunch I finally got to take a look at the post. Very funny Special, that is one race I would actually go out of my way to see.

I wouldn't be so sure about him anymore Spesh. Have you seen how they super-groomed him recently? The last pics I saw of him with his new beard... errrr GF, he was looking extra-clean and was extremely elegant in his newfound clothes. Also we are told he bought a real house (GASP!) and is ready to "settle down". Apparently the washing machine they put him through has a fully functional "Spin" button. ;)
Frenchy --
Well Matt is sporting a big ole eye patch over one eye right now. No one knows what happened, because he had two good ones when spoke at his friend Evel Knievel's funeral.
But I am not counting him out. There are way to many co-eds in Boston. As Wooderson said ...."I get older, they stay the same age. "
As Wooderson said ...."I get older, they stay the same age. "
Lol!
Wicked -- No one famous is brave or crazy enough to do 1) show up in a Speedo 2) Show up in one in December or 3) Run in the thing.
Now the Boston marathon that's a different matter - but I think Speedos are optional. : )
Spesh, not even your local celebs, like the sports anchors, weathermen, or even a store owner wanting publicity?
They're wimps!
We have do radio personalities sponsoring radio stations WAAF run it and one of the TV personalities from the local Fox station.
This is a orginal Santa Speedo runs, there are now runs in Toronto and someone started in Austin. (Now maybe Jake will run that one).
They raised $55,000 in 2006 and hope to break the that when all the money comes in for this year.
Here is a video before the race that was on last Wednesday. They guy interviewing them did run in a Speedo last year.

Here's VB, the Fox guy in his Speedo from last year

I'd love a pic, just to know.
Totally agree Where's Austin.
Fingers crossed.
Happy Birthday Guisi. Many many more!

I'd love a pic too, but I'm not really sure about what I want to know right now, lol!
I was just checking the release date for The Dark Knight and it's still scheduled in July. How come we get to see a trailer right now? I mean those people who posted the unofficial one saw it in a movie theater right? I always thought trailers were shown only a couple of weeks from the release date of a movie.

First six minutes of The Dark Knight. Scary Joker!
Happy birthday, guisi:) I`ll be 30 next fall..ahh , wont think about it...yet!!!
I think Jake and Austin are still together. I think they feel they are in hell a lot of times, but something keeps them stuck in the realtionship. Good things...of course, but still...the reason i can`t comment too much about them now is because i still think they`re a couple, and i think it must be very hard for them at this time. It`s like i wish i didn`t believe anymore, but i do!... And i think it`s hard for both of them!
I have escaped the past weeks. I have watched some episodes of "how i met your mother".(The first season here in Norway). I actually LOVE the show. Think N.P.H is very, very funny. I can`t watch Greys Atonomy because i don`t like these types of shows. My husband and i have ordered the first season of H.I.M.Y.M. -Looking forward to see the rest:)
I don`t know how to link, BUT if you go to "youtube"- THEN search for " Gro Hammerseng+Katja Nyberg"... You will find a couple i absolutely adore!!! They are both on the team of Norway in handboll. Gro is our captain, and they lost for Russia yesterday in the "world champion ship-finale" Katja is her girlfriend and they are out. They are just SO cute together:) I hope you all will take a look at them!
Thanks BWF but all I got over there is a "this video is no longer available" message! :(
Well NG, I'll now check your clip. :)
Frenchy is not unusual for big productions like this one to have trailers or teasers just shown months in advance, here in the US. I have seen similar things in the past. Big expected blockbusters like this one, or Spiderman and the likes.
A video of the couple NG adores
NG, what else can you tell us about this couple? How long have they been together? What is the reaction to them in Norway? I can see why you adore them!
Wow NG, what a great advice! Seeing these women together is so refreshing. And they're also gorgeous! No wonder the person who made the clip ends it up saying "to me they're the best and the most beautiful" :)
I don't know if you watched the same clip but the one I found shows them together, smiling and kissing. A welcome break from the HW closet. ;) ;)
Great video NG... thanks for sharing!
Not even a single oblique mention of TT or Jake in today's column from Ted. I wonder if he is putting to rest the whole TT tale.
Thanks for the info Zero. It's so disappointing that we have to wait seven months! (sigh)
And thanks for the link to that other clip Wicked; other clips about them showed up when I visited that second time. Seems like these girls have a lot of loving fans. :)
Yes NG, tell us more about them. I'm particularly interested as they are sports figures.
Dubious, I think I'd rather have a quiet night than one of those letters that doesn't add anything new. :)
Maybe Ted is saving it for a little Christmas present for his readers.
Or, possibly "sunglasses hiding a multitude of sins", but maybe that's reaching. ;)
It occurred to me too, Ray-Ban.
Has anybody found a working clip of those first six minutes of TDK? No matter where I look everything is "no longer available".
Some say "forget Nicholson, Heath is THE Joker". Oh man, that wait promises to be excruciating.
Yes, what can i say about them,,, Gro is born in 1980. She is born in Norway, while Katja is from Finland and is born in 1979(i think). This couple don`t talk too much about their private-life so i don`t know much details. They ARE out as a couple. They have dogs, and Gro is very lazy when she gets the chance. Katja is the one who gets up early while Gro is feeling guilty for the people she loves the most. They play for "IKAST" in Denmark. Gro broke her nose yesterday in the finale, poor girl:(
I remember, last year i think, Robbie Williams was a guest in one of our country`s most popular talk-shows. -Gro was also a guest. Robbie asked her questions. One was if she had a boyfriend(Gro is very pretty!) She said no,..a girlfriend!
He was very surprised... funny!!!
I have to admit it was very dissappointing for me to see a Tuesday without Tuesday. It has been a long long time. I quess things are quiet and Ted just doesn't have much to say. I agree with frenchy the letters that added nothing new were getting to me also.
^Tuesday without Toothy

Care to explain that Ray Ban?????
Last week Ted seemed interested when someone asked him about a 20 question Thursday. We will see what happens Wed. night.
Tom, you could be right about that 20 question Toothy Thursday. Ted did sound very interested in that. Maybe he's saving it for then.
Last week Ted seemed interested when someone asked him about a 20 question Thursday.
I sometimes wonder if those 20 questions will actually show up and bring something new or if we'll end up with a simple recap.
On the other end, some sort of "Toothy Tile for Dummies" could prove a useful reference for newbies.
Which brings to mind a suggestion that was put forth in the past at WFT but that never materializes: the regrouping of all TT BIs in one section of the blog. Wicked & Special, do you think it could be possible to collectively try and get our hands on all those colums? I wonder if they're still available somewhere.
Oh my, what a lonnnng day.
On the other end -> On the other hand. S'cuse me.
Great suggestion Frenchy.
We'll see if we can find all the posts and create a Toothy post resource.
the dark night six minute preview

Tom, what I mean is the sin of lying, or hiding the truth behind dark glasses. The eyes never lie, and for some reason, we can't see them lately. Everywhere Jeese goes lately, they are wearing dark glasses, or referenced to wearing dark glasses. Just a thought; like I said, probably just reaching. Nothing offensive meant, I assure you. :)
^^It was in response to Dubious saying there were no oblique references; it was just a thought. ;)
Maria, just watched it. You made my (Dark) Night!
Thanks a million!!!
I remember reading that some of those Awful Truth archives are no longer available. Anybody who has any of the TT BIs saved, could you e-mail them to us? We would really appreciate it. I think it would be FABULOUS if we could have them all in the same place.
Must confess, I visited gyllenbabble again. I dont want to pimp other websites, but they posted a utube video made by two guys who were background soldiers in Jarhead. Kind of long - a bit over 8 minutes and tedious in spots. It's very boys being boys. But, if you are patient and watch the whole thing, you are treated to very brief but spot-on impressions of both Jake and Peter. I was glad to have seen it so am sharing this tidbit. Those of us obsessed with Jake hang on to every scrap.
Thanks for the info M. In my book you have nothing to "confess". :)
Goodnight and sweet dreams everybody.
Ted has mentioned a few times that he's been suffering from bronchitus and on meds. His column has been a little off lately, but I think once he gets his energy back, he'll be back to Toothy with a vengence. I am all for an all Toothy column every so often, but we need to email Ted for more details re BF tile. Where the hell is Austin and what is he doing?
I think it would be FABULOUS if we could have them all in the same place.
That would be great!

I don't have anything saved but would like to help. For example, I could check Awful Truth archive for 2006 (looks like 2005 is not available).
(But, if you are patient and watch the whole thing, you are treated to very brief but spot-on impressions of both Jake and Peter. I was glad to have seen it so am sharing this tidbit.)
I would like to read this but I can't access the web-site. What is the actual address to the site? .com, .net., .org or what??
Just Google "gyllenbabble".
Fanchitchat.com is the place to go for Toothy archives. Under Blind Items AND Solved Blind Items simply search for Toothy Tile. Joining is free and takes a minute.
(Some of the early BIs have been marked as Jake and moved to the Solved BIs sub-forum!)
Thanks for all they great information guys!!!
