Inspired after helping friend Jamie Foxx on his hit Blame It, Jake Gyllenhaal has announced plans for an album of his own. Titled "Prince on Prince, Just the Way I Like It", it is Gyllenhaal's own take on Prince hits and some of his personal favorites.
Sources say the long list of songs on his do-me list include:
"Let's Go Crazy"
"1999"
"Delirious"
"When Dove's Cry"
"Lil Red Corvette"
"I Wanna Be Your Lover"
"Raspberry Beret"
"Diamonds and Pearls"
"I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man"
"Kiss"
"Dirty Mind"
"Head"
"Cream"
"Irresistible Bitch"* (B-side)
"Controversy"
"Gett Off"
"I Love U In Me"* (B-side)
"If I Was Your Girlfriend"
"Let Pretend We're Married"
(artist rendition of album cover)
All are wondering he is considering collaborating with any long time friends for some appropriate songs, after some have praised him publicly for his singing talent. ("The kid can sing" - Austin Nichols) Unnamed sources said when asked if his current paramour in the press might be a cameo in a video, he responded, " J.Lo and Ben, Don Johnson and Barbra, J.Lo and Chris, Nick and Jessica, J.Lo and Diddy, ummmm maybe I should. "
Rumors have already started that this is a sign that Gyllenhaal will be changing his name to The Artist Formerly Known as Gyllenhaal, and use an unpronounceable symbol instead. Other speculation is he will be speaking only through his music, until a current contract is indeed over.
A small club tour to promote the album when it drops in the late fall is a possibility. No word if Gyllenhaal will don the bikini briefs, leg warmers, high-heeled boots, and a trench coat in true Prince fashion.
NOTE: Representative for all parties have not contributed to this story, only responding we are taking April 1st off from our regular foolishness. (Let' s just hope)

You outdid yourselves again - Happy April Fool's Day! ;)
"The Artist Formerly Known as Gyllenhaal" - cute! :)
PG is still singing along? I want to hear this. I'm gonna ask for her rendition of "Kiss" this weekend!
I don't know, but I sure am singin' along - I had forgotten how much I love Prince. Raspberry Beret, Kiss, and Little Red Corvette, When Doves Cry, 1999. Thank you, thank you! ;)
I can just picture Jake imitating Prince, all decked out in purple and high-heeled boots ans singing at the top of his lungs. :-D
LMAO

Your Prince trivia of the day
Pop Up Video screen from When Doves Cry
Picturing Jake with the fedora from When Doves Cry pulled over one eye. Although I would lose the lace trim/veil - too 80's.
this was tooooo funny. and i was seriously going WTF? thru the first half before i finally started getting a clue! duh!

It looks like Wanda Sykes is getting her own show, and on Fox to boot! Fox Eyes Wanda for Saturday Late Night Show
I thought nobody in HW got work after coming out.
I like to look over at wft2, sometimes it is a lot of fun. But boy, this week is crazy. My guess is it has to do with the lack of reeking.
PG, you were fighting the good fight last night on wft2, as were a few others from the looks of it. Someone with a lot of time on their hands is sure trying to stir things up over there about Austin. Probably more than half of the over 600 posts in the past 2-3 days have been devoted to why Heath or Clooney would be better for Jake, because, among other things, they would have convinced him not to beard. Nevermind that Heath is no longer with us and that Clooney beards, and pretty heavily with his last one.

Love it! Best way to kill a couple do a video. Best part is how you never say the name.
Hi everyone. Wow what an interesting vacation so far. First the weather is awesome in Fla. and the Phils games have been great. I got my picture taken with the World Series Trophy last night.
But hopefully bad thngs come in threes. First on the drive down as we were driving through NC we got caught in a tornado storm and were held up becuase of an overturned 18 wheeler and huge trees that were blown down on 95. Second the sunburn. OUCH! Thirdly as I was walking through Ybor City in Tampa yesterday afternoon I was drinking a Coke and tripped over a curve and fell face down. BOOM! Today I have no use of my thumbs which are badly bruised and swollen and very sore scrapped up knees. I feel like I got hit by a truck. This has got to get better.thank God I am here for two weeks.
One more Phils game tomorrow before Spring Training is over. I will be going up to Georgia on Sat. morning to visit my relatives in Savannah for the weekend. Hopefully I will have the use of my thumbs back before then.
So why is everyone so intersted in replacing Austin in Jakes life? Although I think Jake may very well have been smitten with Heath during the filming of BBM I dont think anything happened between them romantically. With all the different sides of Jakes life we are being permitted to see recently
I would love to hear these words come out of jakes mouth. "I miss my friend Heath very badly I think about him everyday"
(this was tooooo funny. and i was seriously going WTF? thru the first half before i finally started getting a clue! duh!)
I agree, I thought it was real also..
That was funny as hell. Thanks, I needed that laugh.

Yes, I agree it's stupid to compare Heath and Austin because like you said Heath isn't here anymore.
Instead we should make a list with all the things that Heath would do so much better than Jake!
Even on his bike Jake is in Fashion. : )
Cycling Gear in NY Time Fashion Page.
CYCLING is a beautiful sport rife with fashion disasters. Surely you’ve seen them: weekend riders sandwiched into DayGlo spandex that makes them look like floats in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
....
Into this sweaty parade rides Rapha, a small London company with expansive — if pricey and precious — ambitions: restoring taste to cycling clothes.
.....
The actor Jake Gyllenhaal has been photographed riding in Rapha, but Mr. Strickland said he’s spotted the company’s jerseys on other riders.

((Tom)) Sorry to hear about all your troubles. No more trouble mister!
Hope you feel better. Sometimes it's the tiny little trip that hurts the worst.
Savannah in Spring - and Spring Training - you are making very jealous!
Feel better Tom!
(((Tom))). Hopefully you got all the mishaps out of the way upfront so that you can enjoy the rest of your vacation. And good thing you didn't hurt any of your typing fingers. :)
Cute, really cute.
Saw on WDW that there are going to be some re-shoots of POP to add some 3d, although today one can never be sure what is real and what is April fools fiction. Makes sense though since 3d is a growing phenomenon.
M,
The 3d thing is a joke...the links she provided takes you to the top 10 internet pranks... she got me at first too! Cute!
The Star Trek prank got me today, it's so easy to forget what day it is and get fooled.
The prince of the "POP"
Really funy Special k.
More seriously, I would love to hear his real voice when he sings for true. Some people seems to say he is gifted but please give me a proof!!LOL
Like he has a sweet voice, I can easely imaginate him as a crooner,
Ok well he is more than able to sucess in Prince's imitation BUT in frank Sinatra too LOL
Wicked , you are right, I need to see Deadwood and quick lol
I am sure Austin in cowboy outfit will grown on me. He can only be fantastic like in all what he does!
hi. this is a test post, kinda. i left an anon comment earlier and saw that it got deleted. i'm a total newbie at blogs, but i'm all about jake and would like to read and comment here. i'm hoping this is an open community and that the post was just deleted cause it was anon, since it was harmless. please let me know. :)

Welcome SiennaB!
Yes, you got it right.
Hi SiennaB
Welcome and hope you like OMG
Like :) said the only reason it got deleted was because we ask everyone to put a name on a post, it doesn't have to be a blogger id, just a name even if you want to use it for just one post and pick a different one for later.
Hey SiennaB! Welcome! I see Smiley already answered for you. I'm still at work getting ready to change & head out to walk.
But I just wanted to say hey! and welcome. Look forward to hearing anything you have on your mind. We talk about allllll kinds of stuff on here, besides mr. Jake. And mr. Austin. If you've fallen splat just like our poor friend, Tom, don't be hesitant to mention it and we'll send you a virtual Band Aid.
Poor Tom!!! Oh gosh, that must've hurt. That's awful. Man, concrete hurts. Be safe, now! Keep your eyes on your path and on your task. Hope it gets awesome from here on out.
I'll get back on here later. I'm already running way late!
Last year You Tube Rick Rolled everybody, this year .. just go check it out. Pick any video you want.
have fun!
Welcome SiennaB. I like your avatar.
Thought this was interesting:
Scott D. Pomfret and partner Scott Whittier write contemporary, gay Romentics pulp fiction series.
Pomfret and Whittier point out that while their novels are typically geared to a gay male audience, they’re finding that women, especially housewives from the Midwest, are smitten with the Scott & Scott sobriquet.
"We weren’t surprised that we had women readers, but we were surprised by how many there were," the 33-year-old Whittier says. "Women like romances of any type. They keep explaining it to me and I still don’t necessarily get it. Instead of having one hot guy, you have two and they’re both sensitive and they’re really sweet to each other. But then again, straight guys love to watch lesbian porn."
The 40-year-old Pomfret shoots back, "These women are filthy. They like the sex scenes to be explicit and are not turned off by them. We had a book called Surf ’N’ Turf which was a bit more gay slapstick-y and the reaction from many of these women was to bring it back to the hot, crazy, sexy, dirty romance."

^^:) I love it.
Welcome, SiennaB!
I was disappointed that the Spock & Kirk prequel info was only an April Fool's post too. :)
Welcome SiennaB.
As I type with the fingers that are working tonight I need to ask a question about contracts. If a very harsh set in concrete set of rules type contract is signed for a 2 year period can the contract be extended with new rules? Rules less stringent and one that lets one of the participants off his short leash. Maybe even a wonderful type contract which says that the two participants dont even have to see each other that much. I wonder where we will be in a year from now like sometime after Memorial Day??????
One of the Babblers fell for it
Read the comments and they say it's a joke.
Hi Tom, sorry to hear about your accident - hope you'll be better soon! Yes, an amendment can be drawn up, I do believe ! ;)
According to Star Magazine last week Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal annoyed their fellow diners in Paris by making out like teenagers at a restaurant and feeding each other pieces of chocolate mousse.
Last week? How long was the trip? And when did they do it? Weren't they too busy staring out the window they sat in front of?
What a coincidence that all of those restaurant patrons knew to call Star Magazine about Reeke ruining their dinners, but not one of those diners had a cell phone with a camera or a camera to take a picture of 2 movie stars making out in a restaurant. To me this would make me think that 2 grown adults acted immature in public. Is this is Reeke PR attempt to show that Reeke is so in love and this is romantic? When will they realize the longer Reeke goes on, the more people are starting to believe that Reeke is fake.
Totally agree Amazing. That last road trip was a dead give away. I never saw a more obviously staged event. And Jake practically ran up the plane steps when it was time to go home.
Oh, pity they didn't make it to the toilet to finish it off!
Welcome SiennaB, always good to see new posters here.
Totally agree with what PG said at WFT2 :)
I knew Special's post was a joke because I just can't imagine Jake putting out an album. Errr.. I'm not a great fan of Jake singing. sorry!
Thanks for the welcome, everyone. It's so cool to have a place to talk about Reeke without feeling like you are kicking babies!
I'm behind the times totally, but i was just looking at some of the recent pics, and they looked very NOT happy in the recent Rome pics. You know how - after a couple break up - you can go back and look at pics of them together and see how tense and awkward they look together. That's how these pics come across to me. R. is smiling in most of them, which is assume is because she has to because of the movie, etc. He, however, doesn't seem to have any interest in looking happy, and he doesn't!
back to work. sb!
Oh man, full of *#@%. (LOL, I had a feeling what that 3rd word meant; had to google it to confirm), I think that story belongs in Mad Magazine instead. LOLL! I want to know what PR's paying someone to come up with this stuff. Now this is a good April Fool's.
And pieces of chocolate mousse? Maybe they meant pieces of chocolate. Mousse is whipped, like Cool Whip, sort of. This was just too hilarious.
Destiny, that was unbelievable last night. I'm going to do my best not to read it and not be tempted to insert any more opinions about it. Not that I don't want to defend Austin, but it's not even worth it. It's beyond rationality and is already past the point of obssession. For me, all the fun has now been taken out of the Ledgerection picture.
Well, I've got to get a few things done before turning in.
Boy, I haven't flown since a couple years, I guess, which was to Vegas. They're going to charge $15 for the 1st checked bag. What for??? They have all that space anyway under the plane. What is this money going towards? And laptop bags need to be checkpoint friendly? I don't mind about the charge for drinks. I don't have to have one.
And I was laughing at the mention of KY as a permissible liquid in check on. lol. snicker.
Okay, well, short night tonight. I am in big trouble. I don't have a thing packed. And tomorrow's my last day @ work.
Everyone, sweet dreams! SiennaB, your avatar looks familiar. Is that the Calvin & Hobbes character?
Can't find the Star story on its site, does anyone have a link? Thanks if you do. Or was it in print edition? Was wondering, if its online was it a April Fools story?? Begginning to believe, like movie Ground Hog Day, Hollywood is one long April Fools Day!
Here's where I saw the Star thing Jezebel
Yes, PrarieGirl, that's Calvin and Hobbes. I love them! Have a safe flight. If you have to take your KY on board, (thanks to Star magazine, we all know how much fun those airplane bathrooms can be for romantic rendezvouses) be sure the bottle fits in a small ziploc baggie! :)
A Mad magazine devoted to Reeke! I would so buy that.
I know that story is crap, but can I just say that I really hate it when people make out in front of me. I am the last person you would ever call a prude, but it grosses me out when people get slurpy/kissy/make out like teenagers in front of everyone. Happened to me last year at a concert, a young couple who did that the whole show, it drove me crazy. Once again yet another thing I think most people would not find appealing. I swear, these tabloids act like their readers are all 15 years old.
PG, I don't know if Wicked told you, I'm going to be joining you and Wicked for part of the weekend. I just made my plans last night. I can't wait.
I'm baaaaack! lol
I had to turn my laptop back on so I could google MN R Summi. It was on my credit card bill, the same day I booked my flight to Boston for when I go visit Special in June. It takes the credit card people to help jog my stupid memory & tell me just what in the heck I bought. It was my new LE coat! LOLLL! That I bought that week I was on vacation. Good grief. MN R Summi - how do you get the Squall coat out of that?
Thanks, SiennaB! I'm still up, jackin around. I'm going to be so dead tired tomorrow. I have my suitcase open and nothing in it yet. I got all distracted with this bill. I am in big, big trouble!!
I know, Destiny!!! That is so awesome. This is going to be unreal. I was talking to my folks & brother about it at lunchtime when I ran over to the house to see them. I can't wait either. We will have one heckuva gabfest.
Oh, and Destiny, you need to bring a picture of your girlfriend, can you? Will she mind? When I met Special over last Christmas, I was lamenting how I should've asked her to bring some pictures of people in her life, right Special? Next time, we will. I showed her pictures of my niece & nephew, but that's all I brought with me.
Alright, well, time to sign off again.
lol. KY on the plane. Can you imagine some of the interesting things airport people have come across looking in the X-ray machine?
;)
When I met Special over last Christmas, I was lamenting how I should've asked her to bring some pictures of people in her life, right Special?
When see Spesh, ask her to bring pictures of anything she has taken pictures of. Especially her black and white stuff. She's also got some great pics of Fenway Park.
New pics of Austin looking incredibly hot
ANJ
Thanks for the link 'full of the merde'. Whether or not Reeke was in Paris last week it looks like a PR plant. Wait....... it must be true. It was in Star!
PR Girl ask Wicked to show you the picture of me and the cute waiter. Even I havent seen it yet.
What a coincidence that all of those restaurant patrons knew to call Star Magazine about Reeke ruining their dinners, but not one of those diners had a cell phone with a camera or a camera to take a picture of 2 movie stars making out in a restaurant.
Reminds me of the time Ted reported that Jake and Austin were walking around in the middle of New York holding hands and yet no-one managed to get a picture of this. Or all the other times that Jake has been out with Austin and baby tile. I suppose Jake must have some kind of magical defelctor shield which causes cameras to stop working around him when he needs them to.
Or you could all just be massive hypocrites, demanding photographic proof for one stupid gossip story whilst letting another stupid gossip piece
Ted C hasn't had any Toothy or Jake stuff in a long time.
"Or all the other times that Jake has been out with Austin and baby tile."
Really, when was that?
"Reality",
bored again by babblers?
Reality is the Extra/Shondra Babbler of many names whose atrocious spelling and grammar is as good as an authenticated sign in name.
Really, when was that?
Oh, there have never been any reported sightings, but since Jake and Austin are a couple (uh huh) and since they have a baby together (uh huh) a lot of people here have speculated about them taking that baby out, and yet no cell phone pictures have ever appeared.
bored again by babblers?
Yes, babblers are pretty boring. They just fawn over Jake and Reese. It's this place that has all the crazy theories and pages and pages of bitterness and brain-bashingly stupid hypocrisy . So much more entertaining.
Reality is the Extra/Shondra Babbler of many names whose atrocious spelling and grammar is as good as an authenticated sign in name.
I made one typo on deflector, my grammar is fine, I'm not Extra/Shondra and none of that changes what I said. OMGer's get vocal on the lack of cell phone pictures for one story and ignore it for another. Hypocrisy at its finest.
Ted just said Reese is ready to crack. Oh my.
Dear Ted:
Which rom-com sweetheart would you rather be trapped in an elevator with: Julia Roberts or Sandra Bullock?
—Jason
Dear Sweetie:
How about Reese? I'm sure after being locked in for a few hours, she'd start to crack.
"My spray tan's washing off faster than #Reese Witherspoon's smiley face! My sheets look like Margo had diarrhea, gross!"
Ted’s Twitter
"Reality",
please stop boring us.
Yes, babblers are pretty boring. They just fawn over Jake and Reese. It's this place that has all the crazy theories and pages and pages of bitterness and brain-bashingly stupid hypocrisy . So much more entertaining.
So saying that Austin and Jake are a couple but hiding it is brain-bashingly stupid, but Jake and Reese - despite not being able to walk down the street together without being photographed and having 10 stories written about it - secretly being married since somewhere last year is a pretty good possibility?
And saying that there might be a Baby Tile is brain-bashingly stupid, but gushing about Reese being pregnant for what must now be at least the 10th time in the last 2 years is not only normal, it actually makes you smart.
You know, if you're going to play all high-and-mighty (and pretend that you don't like the Babblers) then maybe you shouldn't let your bias show that much.
Hypocrisy at its finest
Yep, you definitely are a hypocrit to the max.
I would pay good money to see Ted take on Reese, I bet he could get her to crack.
