All Your Eggs in One Basket

So Jake was spotted lasted night of the appropriately named Spotted Pig from Jen Aniston's birthday. Some are speculating it was date, it look more like it was dinner with friends including Hugh Jackman, Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Paul Rudd and former Queer Eye guy Thom Filicia.Whether it was dinner, shameless movie promotion, or getting the inside scoop on what's it like to have kiddos. Either that or Paul Adam and Chris was trying to make her laugh, Hugh was there to singing away her blues, Tom was there to make sure the party was fab, and Jake was subbing for Chelsea Handler, ok alright a sensitive shoulder to cry 42 in on. Well or maybe they all just gave her some leads on potential baby daddy candidates.

After an evening probably filled of dishing and deviled eggs, Jake slipped out the back to be avoid being seen.

Yeah it could be that he didn't want to be seen with Jen, and create more attention , but something else to think about is maybe he didn't slip out alone. Maybe with someone tall and Texan. (ohh that's right he said he's in LA editing uh huh) Why not get a little jump on Valentines Day and just like before splashy stories "of dates" is the perfect distraction of what's really happening in the boroughs with The Kid, Nic and family.

Sorry Jen, The only swirling I can do for you is your General Foods International Coffee.

Yeah they are great, but it's still not going to win me over.

If I bring her gift like this she'll think... ohh no.. that would be awkward.

I know you hated The Rachel Jen, but what about it on me?

Don't know what it is but there is something about Jake for several of his leading ladies. There some kind of magic something there. Clearly theses ladies love their Jake.

An interview that begins in the ladies room of Man Ray restaurant in NYC actually talks about working with these three leading ladies. Older, successful and smitten by our guy Jake, Susan Sarandon, Catherine Keener and Jen Anniston.
When Susan got her star on the Walk of Fame, Jake was there to help celebrate with her and her family. He looks like a part of the family.
Catherine talked about Jake's natural charm in the extras for Lovely and Amazing, and how he was the main man in the female dominated film, and you can tell he won them all over and not just her. Catherine and Jake's connection on screen was completely believable in terms of their feelings in what is now popularly called a cougar and her much younger man.

Catherine got the chance to work with Jake again in Nailed, maybe one day we get to chance to see their second project and if that wink is still there.

And then there's Catherine's friend Jen, who refers to herself as his Mrs. Robinson. Just like with the others, there is a honest affection and love for each other, but there is something different with Jen. Totally at ease with each other and a sparkle to that just happens when together.





What is it about his connection with these co-stars? It is that feeling of safety which allows this affection to bubble up? Is the affirmations? The approval? The what?
