The Daily Grind

Since Jake's whereabouts seem to be everywhere these day -  Gulf Coast? New York? Texas? California? Europe? (Maybe) Nepal? (Not a chance)  - the fella needs a map to keep it all straight (ahem)

While there are no kale spot maps out yet - there is a coffee map of NYC that could help Jake remember where he is when they are trying to tweet, pap and print him being somewhere in the city.

 The map with the best places for coffee in Gotham comes with all the subway lines - so they can get the straight story - oops story straight.

Oh don't worry Jake there's an app for it.  Just don't confuse it with Grinder or you will give your team a stroke.

Now if there was an app to tell you where the fauxs go  so you could make sure you don't have to deal with them.  Wait - you might already have that.

Olympics for ALL Moment:

Norway has a perfect response to Russia’s anti-gay propaganda law. XXL All Sports United, a Norwegian sporting apparel retailer, released an ad that shows its support for LGBT people at the 2014 Winter Olympics.

The new commercial titled “Airport Love” was created with the message in mind that sports is for everyone.

Regular or Fancy Joe?

It looks like Jake is done with Enemy so why didn't head to ComicCon today with Mike and David to talk about End of Watch?

EoW did release a new clip for Comic Con and it looks like Jake is getting busted on his fancy coffee.

If you remember they improvised a lot of the dialogue themselves.  And check out Jake doing his impression of his partners cousins.

 

Will  we see Jake head west before he starts rehearsals for his play?  You'd think he want to get a little West Coast in with EoW based in LA.

Wonder if Austin could start a West Coast countdown and keep the count this time. ; )

Starting off with a smock and a smile

Caught having coffee with friends on the first day of 2012 seems to have Jake grinning. Is it a little Peek a boo, I see you? Or what am I hiding in my pocket?

Jake's hand starts out by his side.
The quickly slides into his pocket.
Where it stays.
A little awkward?
Who's there? [ Me looking like a sailor looking out on watch will distract them from noticing my awkward attempt of my hand in my pocket]
Or is his police training coming back, of him keeping his right hand on his gun.
And it isn't even a parking garage.

And just like you can get your coffee, a double shot of Jake. This time from yesterday.

Jake was out with friends for sushi
and totally smocking it up.

Second Cup

Put a pot on, grab another cup, it's National Coffee Day here in the US, and while it seems every day is Coffee Day for Jakewhat about Austin?
Does that mean he likes cream and sugar?

Austin looks more like a coffee and donut kind of guy, dontcha' think?
Even though Jake played the cop.

And with all the pictures of coffee runs and cups in hand none can beat this one.
Maybe it's the sugar and the cream talking.

Good to the last drop

Jake's New York minute has turned into more of a moment, as he was seen grabbing coffee with his trusty Mac book again this morning.

So what's he up to hitting the Java trail.

Is he on the hunt for the "best cup of coffee in the world"?
Think he could do outfit.

Tracking down the elusive and retired Juan Valdez?Campaigning for the title of #1 Celebrity Coffee Drinker?

Of is he like the rest of us and trying to find free Wi-Fi because he doesn't have it in his place in the Village?

Don't think he's the only one provokes questions today.

TOP GUN lost auditions. Props to Saturday Night Live. And Bill Hader scares me with his talent ---------> AUS10

Which makes you wonder. Which Bill Hader's impressions he liked more?

Senstive 70's TV icon Alan Alda? Or
Harvey Firestein amazed that the producers don't have a clue about their script:

"I say, 'Ice Man's on my tail, he's coming hard.' I literally said that to a bathroom attendant last night."

And ya gotta wonder how many times "someone" has used "Goose, take me to bed or lose me forever" on him.

'Got to coordinate

It's Austin's last day directing and it's a day with and without.
It's with a location shoot, Chad Michael Murray, Shantel, Bethany Joy, and Jackson, lots of dark haired babies, and a van load of press from Wilmy, Warner Bros, Zap2It, and TV Guide.

It's without BrookeDavis. (Is she in Ep 7 at all?)
It is day one of a two day media visit for OTH, and it happens for Austin. Which could benefit not just for the show but for his career. And if he keeps giving hugs to the press, who knows!

They are filming up in Kinston, NC and the press is embargoed to say much more than that until the episode airs. So there might be a directorial tease or two that it's at an airport but the rest is under wraps until Spring.

It seems like everyone had a great time while Austin was at the helm and they love the big guy.

My Assistant Director just took this picture of me and put this together. Very generous. - AUS10And Shantel sent along this with a picture of her and Austin from the set.Last day of @AUS10NICHOLS directing the OTH ship... We decided to color coordinate our outfits! Xo - TheRealShantel

And Jake? He's been all over NY yesterday and went Dutch or to The Dutch last night.

Here he is this morning grabbing coffee at La Colombe Torrefaction in Tribeca.Gee you wonder if Austin called him this morning to "coordinate".

Mark it down on the calendar the Crazy Tree will be pulling up roots Nov. 12

StarMoonstruck

Jake popped down to Urth Cafe in the family truckster yesterday for a little carrot juice and coffee.

Good thing he didn't run into Rose Castorini.
What the hell happened to your hair?



You... you got a love bite on your neck..... what's the matter with you? You're life's going down the toilet! Cover up that damn thing! Come on, put some make-up on it!




Nip of wild turkey perhaps?

A Tall One

Fancy Coffee seems to be the perfect analogy to the current twosome.

It's full of beans.

A machine presses it out.

There's more stuff added to it to make people want to buy it.

There's more froth than anything else.

And despite what you do, how well you make it, what you add or how you sell it, even then it sometimes leaves a bitter taste in the mouth.





Today marks World AIDS Day. Twenty years ago, HIV/AIDS diagnosis was a death sentence, today millions are living with HIV/AIDS. And babies born with HIV then are coming of age now. But that is not to say the work is over. According to UNAIDS estimates, there are now 33.3 million people living with HIV, including 2.5 million children. During 2009 some 2.6 million people became newly infected with the virus and an estimated 1.8 million people died from AIDS. There are ten of thousands of doctors, researchers, nurses, healthcare workers, educators, and volunteers who continue in the fight working on eliminating the spread of AIDS/HIV.

They need everyone's help. Take the time to volunteer, give, get educated, spread the word, get tested, practice safe sex everyone can contribute in the fight.

"On World AIDS Day, we mourn those we have lost and look to the promise of a brighter future and a world without HIV/AIDS." - Barack Obama



Today is the first night of Hanukkah. Hanukkah commemorates the story of the oil that kept the lamps lit in The Temple. Where there was only enough oil for one night, it lasted for eight. During Hanukkah friends and family gather to celebrate the "miracle that happened there".

Happy Hanukkah!

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.
