Jake spent last weekend going Wild with Bear Grylls at Iceland's famous glacier volcano Eyjafjallajökull and the Fimmvörduháls mountain range for the Bear's show Man vs. Wild. And it was Iceland that brought wild with a storm during the shoot.
“We can confirm that we were with Gyllenhaal and Grylls but I’d rather not comment any further on the story,” said Thór Kjartansson at the Icelandic production company True North which assisted the show’s crew on the glacier. “But they definitely got the wildest and best of Icelandic nature,” he added. (Iceland Review)
Jake traded in the Source Code duds for survival gear heading there straight from his last appearance in Rome.
Guess the causal sportwear wasn't going to cut and reports were Jake of dropped by the 66°North store before heading to the mountains. It might be Jake's first time in Iceland but not his first in their famous gear.

And keeping his rep as food enthusiast he hit the Laundromat Café in Reykjavik twice before dining al fresco in the wild with Bear.
“He came here twice, on Friday night and Saturday and was totally relaxed,” commented Steinn Einar at Laundromat. (Iceland Review)
It looked like the shoot was quicker than Jake's used to doing. If he was in Reykjavik on Sat and sources say that the shoot ended Monday night, looks like it was about 48 hours worth or wild.
And where's the wild man now?
Well a few tweets are saying they've seen Jake in New York today.

Speaking of seeing:
New Eyes for the Needy tweeted a picture today of Jake in action at their silent auction and event on March 31st.
Jake told the crowd that he wears glasses when he “needs to look smart”. And revealed how he heard of New Eyes. "When I was a kid, my grandfather asked me to donate my glasses to Needy Eyes. ‘No way,’ I said, ‘I can’t part with them . . .’ I have since learned the error of my ways."

Former anti gay-marriage crusader comes out....for gay marriage
ReplyDeleteChristians and Catholics alike are well within their right to demand that holy matrimony, a sacrament and service performed by the Church and recognized by the Church, remains between a man and a woman as their faith would dictate. However, that has nothing to do with civil marriage, performed and recognized by the State in accordance with state law. My name is Louis J. Marinelli, a conservative-Republican and I now support full civil marriage equality. The constitution calls for nothing less....from I now support full marriage equality by a organizer of last year's National Organization for Marriage Tour

Kobe was fined $100,000.00 by the NBA for his remarks. He said he said the words out of anger but that people shouldn't take it literally. He has not formally apologized.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Jake's PR is desperately trying to get a picture of Jake and Kobe together. I though a lot about what is worse saying the F word on national TV or pretending to be straight on the cover of national magazines. When you think of it there really isn't much difference. Both are extremely homophobic. Both Jake, Austin and Kobe are homophobic.

ReplyDeleteActress Jessica Lowndes has laughed off rumours she's dating Jake Gyllenhaal, insisting she's just friends with the Hollywood hunk.
ReplyDeleteThe 90210 star was spotted dining with Gyllenhaal earlier this month (Apr11), sparking speculation of a budding romance, but Lowndes has declared she's single, and is baffled by the gossip linking her to the Brokeback Mountain star.
She tells Britain's OK! TV, "It's actually really silly because I could go and have coffee with my mum or a girl and it's fine, but you literally have coffee with a guy and it's all this (dating rumours).
"No, we are not dating... I'm single."

Dear Jake Gyllenhaal: Straight? So is spaghetti until you heat it up. about 2 hours ago via web
ReplyDeletegregmania
That's pretty cute, the line about spaghetti.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like Kobe has since apologized, not that it helps all that much. The words were already spoken. I'm surprised really. He spends so much time in LA and must personally know tons of gay people. I never expected something like that from him.
Good for the NBA fining Kobe and sending a message that will be not tolerated as an organization.
ReplyDeleteIronically, the same day that this happened the NBA, who has been working with GLSEN, was shooting a PSA with Grant Hill for GLSEN's "Think Before You Speak" campaign about anti-gay language, to be shown during the playoffs about NBA Finals.
He spends so much time in LA and must personally know tons of gay people.
ReplyDeleteWhy would you think he personally knows tons of gays? He's not a casting agent.
