Prince of Popsicles

After existing only on nonfat no whip lattes run for weeks Jake Gyllenhaal snaps when seeing his sister Maggie eat Ben & Jerry's newest ice cream flavor.

Gyllenhaal grabbed a marker gave himself a Snidely Whiplash mustache and made a suit of tinfoil while ranting and laughing "no pictures like this" "she won't like this" "baahaaaaa haaaa haaaa". Armed with a handmade princely scepter and calling him self Prince of Popsicles he held Andy Samberg hostage making him sing "I scream You scream We all Scream for ice cream" over and over and demanding a meeting with both Ben and Jerry.

His sister Maggie was called, after Ms. Witherspoon's schedule precluded her from answering her phone. Ms. Gyllenhaal rushed in to help her brother during this time.

Despite weeks of drama on his newest movie Nailed, bi coastal flying for more work related commitments on weekends, limited time with close friends and family, and his new training regime for his role as Dastan in PoP, it was seeing his sister eating ironically "Imagine Whirled Peace"a caramel and sweet cream swirled ice cream with chocolate peace signs and toffee pieces, that was the last straw.

Most close to the actor thought it would have been icy blonde not the ice cream that would have pushed him to this. Some are concerned about a caffeine addiction after seeing him out again and again and again for coffee with Witherspoon, placing the blame squarely on her. "He used to run, bike, read now he is just too jittery to do anything, he's just a different person." "He always liked coffee but this is different, java is the only thing that's holding them together. " Some coffee shops have been sneaking him decaf knowing he has to go to 3 or 4 shops a day on her tightly run schedule.

Official reps for Mr. Gyllenhaal are calling this a low blood sugar moment brought on by a new exercise and nutrition plan.

Mr. Gyllenhaal was later seen sans tin foil enjoying a small Ben & Jerry's non fat vanilla with his sister, Mr. Samberg and another tall gentleman who was heard speaking but the only words that could be made out were coffee and bed . Representatives for Ben & Jerry have said that they will be sending specially made non fat Peace Pops to the set during duration of Nailed and for upcoming Prince of Persia.

I want to give big Congrats to Tom and Eastcoast Fan. Way to Go! You have done such a courageous thing! Here's to the best days ahead.

GMA's Sam Champion outed by Bravo Exec

Looks like Andy Cohen didn't realize that Sam was out socially but not professionally. Or maybe it's a way for Sam to take a step or two out gently.

Love seeing pictures of Jake being goofy. He had a blast on SNL. Jake needs to do more fun stuff.

destiny said...

LOL. Jake may need the Peace Pops when he's away on the set, but I think he does alright in the popsicle department when he's at home. ;)

Wicked said...

I have to say I have a bit of a problem with this Ben and Jerry's campaign. As a Lennon fan, I hate to think of his bed-ins being used to sell ice cream. The flavor does sound delicious though. I guess it will depend on how the campaign is done.

Cute! and one of my fave Squeeze songs.

Hmmm, I'm not sure about the ice cream campaign either - if it recalls the bed-in so that people think about it in a serious way, and the proceeds go to a cause or charity, then I guess that's fine. But simply to make money, I have a problem with. Peace signs should not be little chocolate novelty sprinkles, I don't like the image of that. It kinda takes a serious issue and turns it into something superficial, to me anyway. But B&J's has a good history with taking an interest in causes and donating to them. :)

www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com. I dont know how to make a link, but here is the address for an update re the financial condition of the Nailed backers. Does not sound promising. Also, looking at the titles of some of the other films they've backed, they all sound like crap. At least Nailed has some solid actors on board, which may help it get financing elsewhere.

M, here is the link to the story. This is incredible. Whatever happens, Jake and Jessica should get paid because they are escrowed, right? But I think they are the only ones who are. Everyone else would be SOL.

Looks like TR was right and OK did put Jake wanting a family with Reese on the cover. They used the new pix of them cuddling with her in the black hat. Photo op specifically for this cover maybe? ONTD commenters were not too impressed with the hat.

Clarity said...

Interesting article on Jodi Foster. For someone that is supposedly very private this reporter seemed to have a lot of insider information about her.

"Photo op specifically for this cover maybe?"

I can believe anything at this point.

Reese out running errands yesterday

She went to a skincare place that does waxing. Maybe she got her beard waxed. You know she grows a mean beard!

destiny said...

That's great news about the Holocaust memorial. I always think of most of Europe as being ahead of the U.S. on things like this, but I guess not.

Anonymous said...

Reese is in CA, at least as of yesterday, according to that pampering story. Wonder if Jake is back in SC? And will Nailed start filming again tomorrow?

london tb said...

Wow, how good is tr? Congrats Jake and Reese :D :D

I don't mind the ice cream story that much, sounds like a good flavour and inoffensive concept. Only question - where is Yoko?

Late, real congrats to Tom and Eastcoastfan.

I still think another tab should publish a response to the Jake wanting children story with a made up pseudo quote:

"Reese has told friends that she is excited about having Jakes children and is thinking of taking some time off from work to have Jake's kids and look after the home!"

It is once again something that would send the wrong message, at least as far as Reese's camp is concerned, as I would imagine that she hopes for some more work herself out of this (but one that the readers of these magazines and tabloids would love to hear.)

I would assume Reese got a big paycheck for the Vince Vaughn comedy (Vince has pretty good luck with pictures making bucks!) but I can't see a lot of call for here 30 million a picture contracts, especially when she doesn't have that big of a male following.

Special K said...

Thanks for the story on the Holocaust memorial Wicked. There are so many that were forgotten as victims of the horror.

Anybody notice in the new coffee pics Jake has two different coffees? One in a white cup with a lid, and the yellow cup without one? What's up with that?

Anonymous said...

That one pic with the white cup and lid he also has a newspaper under his arm. It's just that one pic and they are leaving the place with her behind him. I can't tell if she is carrying the lemonande or whatever.

In the other pics he doesn't have the paper and the cup is different.

It appeard to me that they were in the area for a while and the paps took 2 sets of pics, and in that time he read the paper, tosed it and had 2 cups of coffee, probably at different places since they were probably shopping as usual.

They used/sold the others because theywere holding hands.

It's like the video of them holding hands from the 24th, when the pics that were posted just showed him putting up his hood and her hiding behind him.

Wicked said...

Spesh, are you saying Sarah Larson was a beard?

Anonymous said...

I should add that I don't understand why one agency would be interested in the hand holding pics and the other one not, if you read the captions over on IHJ of the hood pics from the 24th it says they were holding hands and they weren't, but a few days later splash has the video from that same day and it's the same pics and they are holding hands.

Something may have happened because you hear them apoligizing to them.

Special K said...

I guess you could ask Waldo, he's George's hairdresser he would know beards wouldn't he?

i smell photo shoots. like the reeke bike pics, just those 4 pics and no one wrote in a blog re seeing them and no one had other pics?? AND there were other pics supposedbly taken the same day of them out to lunch at the same place but they were in other regular clothes. those bike pics were overlooked by people and buried but those to me show total photo shoot bs. just like the black hat reeke ones. can he get any farther away from her while shes leaning towards him? another thing is it says they were at dinner, its daylight in the pics, theyre waiting at the curb and jke has money in his hand like hes gonna tip the valet. dinner, at daylight? early bird special for grama?? total photo op, mighta been taken last week cos its on OK! cover..and reese has dark roots in the back of her hair (reason for the hat?). seems a little soon for the OK! cover to get that pic, doncha think? i'm really starting to wonder if these pics are taken when they say they are....

Look at the pix of Reese running errands in Brentwood. It's Jake's cardigan and blue dress shirt she's wearing. Both are way too long for her.

Florida Tom said...

Congrats East Coast fan. It feels great doesn't it. I sure am planning on telling more of my past and present friends.

Destiny the way I told my three friends at work was first by txt. We are all very addicted to txting and communicate that way constantly. especially when we are not working together for a while. I followed up with a call to each the next day. I felt that a txt only was a little impersonal. All three have been great. My friend Jason who is my immediate supervisior is a really sweet guy with two cute kids. He really has gone out of his way to make me feel great.

The next few friends I tell will be face to face because they are my neighbors. Shit I feel so good I may just go knocking on doors telling everybody:-)

Come on, she had her assistant go out and buy a cardigan and dress shirt.

Anonymous said...

Reese had her hair done in the hat pics because it's shorter, why bother cutting it if you aren't going to color it as well? The raining/hood pics were taken earlier in the most likely morning because it was raining in L.A. that morning. You can see her hair clearly, she probably had it done on a Friday.

There were 2 photo ops on Saturday and one o Sunday and why not? What else are they doing, she isn't working and Nailed was stopped yet again.

There was a blog spotting of them on Sunday but not at the Cafe Laxxe, it was Cafe three or whatever, the same place they were at last weekend, it was posted here.

Anonymous said...

The shirt and the cardigan are not Jake's. If you look at Reese's pic, you can see the shirt and cardigan button from right to left as do all women's shirts. And, if you look at the picture of Jake, his buttons left to right as do all men's shirts. Reese, as ususal, looks like a frumpy, 55 year old woman in the pics.

java is the only thing that's holding them together.

If we didn't know any better we might think it were true! Are they actually consuming all these coffees? They must be running to the bathroom every 20 minutes.

Reese's errand pics...can I just say something once to get it off my chest and then I won't need to say it again? The nostril-flaring is really unattractive. Someone ought to let her know. Yeah, someone, uh, who can't be dismissed, lol. Does she think it exudes power? A business-like manner? Is she even aware of it?

yeah its the same shirt and sweater as jakes. nevermind that jakes shirt has 1 pocket and buttons down like a mans shirt and reeses has 2 pockets and a placket covering the button area and different blue shades. the sweater is the same like that too, reese is wearing a cardie and jakes is a pullover. yeh, same exact clothes..*rolls eyes* theyre totally in love.

methinks 'squeee' is a babbler, they have such keen eyes for detail and are so eager to share the good news of reeke sharing clothes.

Methinks squee is pretending to be a "babbler", was over on the blog and saw that. A lot of stuff that's found there is re-posted here, and you can't say you found it on google too because it's always posted here after it's posted there.

You were set, up not the 1st time and not the last. Your first tip off shold have been that FL brought it up, the pics have been out since this morning, do the math.

No harm done, just a test and you failed.

I just read about Sam Champion. it's great. Although accidental:-)

Even better is hearing that Anderson Cooper may be inching his way out of the closet. I would love to see Anderson come out. Its really awesome to see he is getting himself and his show involved in gay issues.

Also loved reading about the monument to the gay victims of the holocaust. Way past due. I love the Holocasut Museum in D.C. My visit was suich a moving experience. My only dissappointment was the very small dedication to the gay victims of that horrible time.

Sorry bed time, didn't mean to come off sounding bad. I am curious though, if Reese is allowing her PR to plant all these "Jake to propose" "Jake wants kids" and the infamous "Reese won't live with Jake until after marriage-she's to traditional" (barf), I wonder if they would actually carry the phonymance far enough to really get married and these stories are the testing board.

How Tall Is Jake?

Celebrity heights? Judging by the comments, it's serious business! Interesting to read about people who've met/seen him.

Sorry I'm just looking at the picture of Jake by himself and thinking about what that sweater his hiding. Damn. Just look at his pecs.

You know there's one person knows what's under those layers and it isn't Reese.

you failed, you mean. no one here talked about the stupid reese wearing the same clothes theory all day cos no one cares and no one went to your blog and as soon as YOU [yes, we know its YOU] posted your stupid squeeee re the clothes we all refuted it asap. all we had to do is look at the pics to tell it wasnt the same clothes but you babblers are so desperate to beleive and desperate to reform everyone that you make up crap and you have to come over here to stir things up and think youre 'testing everyone' - whats that about?? youre idiots, fl and uv and the rest of you. youre a bunch of creepy wierdos.

Test or whatever it was, it was another chance to stir it up here. The best thing is just to let them try and find out that it's not going to play here and let them go back to their own site.

Tom & EastCoastFan, I am very happy to hear of your coming out experiences. You, especially, Tom, had sounded like you were wrestling with it in your mind your last several posts and I'm glad it worked out well for you at work.
About 2 years ago, I had a former co-worker come out to me @ work while everyone else was out to lunch and while I had kind of suspected, I never really knew for sure. She & I still keep intouch even though she moved out of state to be with her partner. Only myself & another co-worker were told by her; she was afraid to tell anyone else. I'm glad she trusted me but I wish she could have just been able to be who she was @ work openly. I don't know; I think it would've been accepted fine. Don't know if it was a Kansas thing but I understood & respected her wishes just fine.
Once again, a long post. Sorry! Was @ the Royals game last night-boy, are they bad. : (

Forgot to add something: Have noticed several hostile presences lately of bloggers who seem determined to shoot down any jake/austin talk or just be negative toward regular OMG bloggers. Are the websites they routinely visit boring lately or void of company? If they really believe what they believe, why waste the energy & time on a website that doesn't congrue with their feelings/beliefs? I know I don't waste time on a Waiting for George Clooney website or a Bluegrass Music or Bust (sorry for any bluegrass music lovers out there - just a personal feeling) website because I Don't Really Care about either topic. So why do they come here? Just wondering.

Prairie girl, I've noticed some negative presences as well. The JIS crowd likes to prostelitize, but generally they get shut down or scrolled over here and at other sites. They cause a stir but it does not last.

I do sometimes think that for someone just discovering Jake, for his new fans, it must be confusing. Like walking into a theatre 2 hours after the movie started. Those of us there from the beginning interpret the movie based on what has elapsed. If you just walked in now and all this info is coming at you, how do you sort it out. Sometimes you can tell it's a newcomer and I wish they did not have to slog through 2years worth of history to understand.
