Tee'ing Off

In today's Mirror (UK), covering the "The Boat That Rocked" premiere in London's Leicester Square we get a smiler about Jake.

" Bond girl Gemma, who looked frozen to the core in a skimpy off the shoulder dress, has recently been filming Prince of Persia and revealed that co-star Jake Gyllenhaal has a silly side.

'He’s such a lovely guy,' she said. 'He’s quite goofy, always messing around and trying to make everyone laugh on set. Not bad to look at either, which always makes the day easier.'"

But a couple of days ago, we got a story about Jake giving smiles another way at yoga class .

It was during a yoga session at Yas in Venice, Calif., Jake began sweating like a pig. To the delight of the female class members (and a few male), he whipped off his Facebook Addict T-shirt (the back of the shirt read: "stealing your friends") , wiped himself down and rode off on his bicycle.



So OMG has come up with some special addiction t-shirts just for Jake.

bubble addict "bright and shiny"

darko addict "being frank"

musical addict "sing out louise"

jfc addict "eye on you"

rocket addict "deep space"

wild turkey addict "better with austin"

grey goose addict "honk hard"

proof addict "add it up"

oth addict "back off brooke"

austin addict "bigger, better, texan"

Bump, not the dance, the good bye

Yeah coffee and I'm grinning

Think I need the alka seltzer

I need to get an empty Cheez It box, flatten it out & tape a hitchhiker's thumb to the front of it so Wicked can spot me. And then I will meet the whole Wicked clan. I'm very excited as you can tell. I can't wait to pet Tink & Potter. And the bunnies if they'll let me.

I will be looking for your box, PG, love it! And if you don't pet the buns, Carina will get mad and thump and Peabunny will deflate into a bunnyrabbit depression.

Good morning to everyone

I saw discussion were about birds yesterdays. I think having a lot in common with our boys then lol since I would have adored to be one of those birds with shimmering colors feathers called in france "birds of paradise" ( don't know if it's correct in English , sorry if not)Ahhh flying it's freedom.

I said to myself I have already seen this guy Jake hangs out with somewhere. Now I remember the pic of both during the good girl time!
Mike has a strange but sweet face and looks so kind.
Shame on me , never saw this movie and yet I heard Anniston and Jake was great in it, if only it could be diffused on french TV cause DVD aren't available anymore here, do you believe this???

Oh before forgetting, Big Thanks you Prairie Girl and others posters for the slash fictions links, it's just I am so addicted now LOL

And PG , I hope your father is fine.

Love Gemma talking about Jake being goofy on set. Cute about the t-shirts. Hey just noticed that the pictures of Jake are all from yesterday.

Anonymous said...

The Chin was on the Today show this morning to promote M&A. Guess Reeke PR has been reading all those post about how Jake looks like he's pussy whipped and on Reese' leash, so they are trying to show that Jake can be out doing his own thing. I'm sure after a few more solo Jake photo ops while Reese is in NYC, we will get another Reeke blitz when she's back in LA to show that they are still "so in love" and missed each other terribly (gag).

Special K said...

After this movie, wonder if the contract is winding up. Reese has gotten her two pictures out of it (Four Christmases and M&A) and has picked up some projects. She's gotten what she's wanted, and being the bigger star to the agency, is the focus of the deal not Jake.

And he is making it very obvious that being out and not with Reese is clearly much better being out with her.

Special K said...

Dee - I like the Gemma story too. I think about a lot of the goofy stories and clips of Jake on set. I think of him and Jena Malone on Donnie Darko and him running and cracking her up. His cartwheels on the set of Moonlight Mile. And of course Austin talking about Jake making faces and sticking out his tongue at him filming TDAT.

Dear Ted:
Love the column. I'm with you on the fact that Kristen Stewart is bagged constantly. So she's no Julia Roberts or Reese Witherspoon on the interview front, doesn't make her a bitch. I think she comes off shy and a little overwhelmed. Who can blame her? Why can't everyone just back off?

Those videos Austin likes are pretty weird in my opinion. Maybe it's too early in the morning for me to appreciate them.

Love the T-shirts. My favorite is Austin addict. Isn't it about time he returns to LA? Hopefully we will see them together again very soon.

destiny said...

Love the t-shirts too, I would have to order just about all of them, especially the Austin line.

M, I was a little taken aback by the homo line in OTH. I think Special may be right about it maybe having to do with the rumors, but also to show the director is such a bad guy/jerk/HW tool. But I think it fell flat and seemed out of place. Part of the problem is that even the bad guys on OTH are never completely bad, so to me it came off a bit as being something that was okay to say, although again sure that's not how it was intended.

All the new Austin goodies will sadly have to wait until tonight.

TMZ has a video of Jake and Mike White.

"We managed to get a smile and a laugh out of Jake Gyllenhaal in Brentwood yesterday, who was chumming it up with "Amazing Racer"/writer Mike White. That sure as hell beats spit to the feet or a kick to the shin!

Baby steps people, baby steps."


TMZ: Jake G and the whole world smiles with you

You wonder what they guy said to make him laugh and smile ; )

Anonymous said...

The new Jake pix are odd with the timing. They're supposed to make us think he was out 3 times in the same day in 3 different changes of clothes? Blue shirt's not the same btw, one has white buttons, the other dark. He went to 3 restaurants in 1 day? BS.

The yoga story started last week/week before saying he took his shirt off during class and then did yoga moves. Biking home was never mentioned. Oh but now after the birthday bash AT HIS HOLLYWOOD HILLS HOUSE faux pas and to make sure people assume he's living with Reese they have to say he rode home (meaning to Brentwood) on his bike. Uh huh.

Could TMZ mean anything by "BABY steps"?

Special K said...

Lane

The story was from last week about the shirt. I only used it today because last week there was so much Austin stuff. It was published before the birthday.

Special K said...

Just a thought

I wonder if Jake went out Sunday night or Saturday night when he was supposed to be with Reese and that's why they released the pictures they way they did.

Watched Austin videos earlier.

Have to say the Norman Mailer Rip Torn one - holy sh....! Just watch it. Talk about passionate about your craft.

Mailer used to live in Provincetown. I had a friend that used to work as copy editor for him in the 90's, before he passed things to his editor. Was in his late 70's and he was still intense and talk about trying to tell him he needs to rewrite parts - holy.

I also have heard stories of Mailer au natural with a only straw hat for the sun. : )

P-town now known as very popular LGTB destination, has a history as large artist colony, which you still see today.

There was a great article about Mailer and movies a year ago in Vanity Fair. It talks about him and Rip Torn. Here's the link:

The TMZ thing is very interesting. Makes you wonder what Harvey knows. And you know he would have something to back it up, if the hints are saying what they look like they are.

I'm sure they will run the clip on TMZ tonight, want to see what they say about it.

I always thought this reply by Ted was a hint that TMZ knows something about Toothy.

Dear Ted:
Your One Karma-Killin' Blind Vice about Butch Spit-Spat and his underage son "dating" the older woman came out in TMZ. Butch is Billy Bob Thornton; poor kid is his son. Awesome reporting—you beat the authorities by a month. Hopefully, the LAPD will subscribe to your site!

Baby development: Kicks (in belly), spits up (feeding), steps (starts walking). Right in order. And didn't the last time Ted said anything about BT he said it wasn't walking yet? Maybe now it is.

TMZ is either saying Jake is behaving like a baby or has one. But there are many ways to say he's behaving wrongly so why do they go the baby route?

I'm wondering if Jake has 2 houses, if he kept the HW Hills one but got (and probably leased for no paper trail) another one in the Brentwood/Santa Monica area that is more baby safe. The HWH house has a lot of wild vegetation around it (i.e. feral cats, coyotes, snakes, etc) and an open pool, not the safest environment for a toddler. It would make sense why he's papped a lot in the area, getting caffeinated in Santa Monica/Brentwood in the mornings (when he supposedly lives there with Reese), he's probably on his way to/from one house or the other depending on the caretaker/nanny schedule. Living in 2 places and going between them all the time isn't the the most convenient but it probably gives him the privacy he needs.

Except in her case she's come by it more honestly...

The Jake and Mike TMZ vid, I thought the dogs barking was more interesting! I SO wanted the paps to pan over to the dogs and see what was going on, even Jake looked like he was interested in the dog saga. btw did you see how Jake couldn't keep a straight face (no pun intended) and he did a quiet laugh when the pap asked him if he was marrying Reese?! I think even to Jake marrying Reese is a big joke.

"baby steps" sounds mockery against Jake then, for good reasons anyway, he acted as a real child.

If you live in the hills above LA you would come down to Santa Monica/Brentwood for lunching and shopping. They are minutes away from each other really just names of neighborhoods not different cities or anything.

Well, watching it that is not the tone I got, Did anyone else watch it on tv? I would be interested in hearing your impression. I think you need to see to it for yourself.

Anonymous said...

L Conrad, uh, no. Sure Santa Monica is relatively close, same county, but there's still a lot of mileage between it/Brentwood and HWH. WeHo and Beverly Hills are much closer to HWH. Don't know where you're from but remember we're talking DRIVING time, CALIFORNIA DRIVING time (LOL). No one in the HWH just pops off to Santa Monica/Brentwood/Venice for a cup of coffee and shopping when they can go to WeHo or BH.

I love that madamism link, and what a great name to describe what happens to all those women after plastic surgery; and Reese does look like she's well on her way to looking like them.

I despise Scalia with a passion, good for Frank.

Why would US make up that bit about Jake jogging??? They certainly saw the whole set of pictures. Is this coming from US, or pr? You would think with White on the Amazing Race they wouldn't have cut him out like that.

Special I discovered TMZ TV comes on at 6:30pm, not only at 11:30pm here. Yay! I agree Harvey said "baby steps" in a different way, not sarcastic. More empathetic than anything. I don't know if it sounded like it was meant about BT. Its odd how his remark was limited to 2 words, like he actually said more but it was all cut out except for "baby steps".

Anonymous said...

"You would think with White on the Amazing Race they wouldn't have cut him out like that."

Jake's lucky he got a mention considering he was without his famous jogging partner pseudo-producer Reese and considering he was with some gay dude who has a gay dad and who has a solid proven HW resume. Can't afford to show up Reese.

It was empathetic, and I wondered when I heard it was more about baby steps to come out, since Harvey is gay.

Holy crap. I'm sorry I clicked on that madamism link. I wont even color my gray hairs, let alone consider plastic surgery. They look awful.

I am sure there are many paps who have seen the real deal. Austin/Jake coming and going, even baby tile. A pay off to keep quiet or a pay off for a picture, what's the difference. They don't want to kill the golden goose. That may even be why Jake is so beholdin to Disney. It might have required big bucks.

Oh save me your faux sexist outrage. The very worst spin you could put on this is that Reese is using her "relationship" to sell herself. A slightly less deranged but still acceptably negative spin would be that Reese is using her "relationship" to sell a movie. If reality was ever allowed to intrude into this place then you would be able to see this is more a case of a magazine using a "couple" to sell more issues.

Reese is by far the more famous of the two, the one who is getting the bigger paychecks, and the one who is getting the work right now. Not as extreme as it was with Ryan, but still favoring Reese. If anything, this "relationship" is an example of a man using a woman to sell himself. But that wouldn't suit your argument or the heavily anti-Reese bias of this blog, so call me a babbler, put your fingers in your ears and go "lalala I'm not listening" until some more people rush to agree with you.

I for one have repeatedly said I find it pathetic that Jake can't just sell himself without Reese, as have many others; implicit in that is that he can't sell himself without a woman on his arms.
