Throw Back. Fly Back?

A former stylist who worked with Jake posted this for TBT

Which reminded OMG of another great throwback picture where Jake rocked the white tee.

 But it seemed like Jake was in the mood for no pictures as he was leaving London 

 Could he have finished up the London part of his role for Everest and is going back stateside?

And why so shy?   Is it he thinking this is inconspicuous. Honey Please....

Or could it be the beard is gone and he is once again a fresh face dimples to die for dude?
 
Can we hope - just a little?

On the Green

Today was all about the wearing of the green, and for Jake that's not a problem since he is the New Mr. Green Jeans with those favorite cargos.

Speak of Jake it looks like Everest has moved on from Italy and off to England to Pinewood Studios.

This is the only kind of snow most want to see at this point of the year.

Jake won't have to worry about any real snow for a while, especially later this week when he is scheduled to appear in Spain to promote Enemy.  

While Jake was wearing the green most of this past year, Austin was getting some Irish eyes a smilin' on three of his project this year.

From Parkland about the assassination of John F Kennedy of one of the most famous Irish-Americans ever to being a part of the Donovan crew who's fixer is another Irish-American by way of Boston too,  to playing Tommy Donnelly in the movie San Patricios.

And while it is the custom to wear green,

Austy you make an great case to be in the pink.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day

Boston Style

Rooting for it

After another week of filming in Italy Jake and crew are taken a weekend break from filming. And from many mentions it looks like he's bucking those Italian espressos and cappuccinos by grabbing his in the Covent Garden section of London. (Now tea, that would be understandable)

But Jake will be going a bit further for dinner next month.

Jake will travel back to New York for a multi-course meal prepared by a number of New York City’s best chef for Edible Schoolyard NYC’s second annual spring benefit on Monday, April 7.  Jake is the honorary Co-Chair of  "Putting Down Roots” and on that theme The Root's Questlove, who won't be on the preschool ornaments like on The Tonight Show, will be on the turntables.

The evening’s proceeds will benefit Edible Schoolyard NYC and has Culinary Chair and Momofuku founder David Chang assembling a cast of the city’s hottest chefs to each design and prepare an intimate, open-kitchen, four-course dinner for an individual table.

Take a look at the incredible lineup of participating chefs below:

Einat Admony, Balaboosta
Michael Anthony, Gramercy Tavern
Joaquin Baca, The Brooklyn Star
Jonathan Benno, Lincoln Ristorante
Fredrik Berselius, Aska
April Bloomfield, The Spotted Pig

Ruth Rogers, The River Café
, London
Justin Smillie, il Buco Alimentari e Vineria
Alex Stupak, Empellón
Rich Torrisi, Torrisi Italian Specialties

It looks like he might be having some culinary company from both London and Italy that night too.

Hot Listing

How not to buy Real Estate aka How to plant a story

This appeared in the NYPost

"Jake Gyllenhaal is house hunting this holiday season. He recently checked out a stunning two-bedroom, two-bathroom penthouse at 65 Thompson St., which is asking $3.55 million.

Gyllenhaal has been buzzing in the news this week when he revealed on “Ellen” how he hurt his hand on the set of the upcoming “Nightcrawler” indie film. “A mirror broke in the middle of a scene that I was shooting,” the actor said. 

The penthouse he toured comes with its own “Hamptons-like” entertaining space and private rooftop zone. 

There is also a fireplace, chef’s kitchen and walnut wood panels in the foyer. The listing broker is Bond New York’s Pawel Ciercwierz."

It sounds like perfect place for Jake the bachelor doesn't it?  Right neighborhood -SoHo, chef's kitchen, "Hampton-like" entertaining space, hardwood floors.  

Now why is it a plant? aka Why Jake will never buy the place.

1. Give everybody the exact address why don't you.  Jake - Mr. Private, would never buy a place that has had the address published for millions to see. And that's all kind of dumb if he did.

2. Two Bedrooms?!? - We all know that Jake needs at least 3! One for Mama, and one for the nieces! ; )

3. When  has Jake been house hunting? He only got back to his "new hometown"  this week or did he?  Because there are more sighting of him in London than there are of him in NYC.


Real estate is always an investment in the future.  Even when it comes in inches. (just in the paper?)

Little Mix

It's a little of this and a little of that or better than that a little bit Austin and little bit Jake

Let's talk numbers first:

Prisoners took the US box office this past weekend, making 21.4 million.
September is a good month for Jake.  EoW opened at #1 last September domestically.

 And Austin tweeted some great numbers

RAY DONOVAN ended its season ranked as the highest-rated freshman series in SHOWTIME history, outpacing Homeland season one by 33%. -AUS10

And while Austin gets love for Julian

All you gals deserve a guy like Julian. Don't settle for less. Thank you for accepting him into your world!! - AUS10

But don't think EMPIRE Magazine is loving Jake too much at the moment

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Jake Gyllenhaal won't be coming in today for a webchat. Shame, we'd tidied our desks. Well, half a desk. - @empiremagazine

OK, we washed a mug. @empiremagazine

 OK, we gave it a quick rinse. He could always have tried to drink out of the clean side, we suppose. - @empiremagazine

 @empiremagazine he was scared you were going to take him down to the basement to show all the film reels you have. pic.twitter.com/PFitpd4UNv

Retweeted by Empire Magazine

 Would any famous movie stars like to come in for a webchat at 1pm? We'll lay on some snacks (four cans of Coke Zero and some Rich Tea). - @empiremagazine

 Jake Gyllenhaal will never know how close he came to being embroiled in a conversation about beard oil, the topic du jour round Empire HQ. - @empiremagazine

 Yes, beard oil. As in oil for beards. This is, apparently, a thing. Presumably to stop beards squeaking. - @empiremagazine

and well the jokes make themselves from this retweet by Empire (whether unintentional or intentional)

@empiremagazine it is a thing, aye. beard lube. pic.twitter.com/JARc0YnmmV

But Jake showed up on (well called in) Greg James' show on BBC2

Hello! On today's broadcast...1) Loads and loads of excellent music which you can win 2) Kanye West news with Zane 3) Brand new Star Caller -@gregjames

@empiremagazine Jake Gyllenhall has been stolen by @gregjames. Does this mean media war? -Twitter

 But Jake wasn't phoning it in all day - he showed up at the Apple Store on Regent Street in London with Hugh and Denis for a meet and great/chat with fans about Prisoners. (Then again it may have been to get his hands on one of those new sold out Iphones : D)

Club Graham

 More Jake in London and it's so good to see him again. There is something about seeing Jake in actual interviews that brings back that dimension to him that is missing in print in pictures.

  

Smiling laughing and charming he is having a blast on Graham Norton.

Beards, hairy asses, Glee, crap cars, coffee stirrers, levers, Ke$ha  this show has everything.

The entire show:




Today is 25th anniversary of World AIDS Day. The disease has taken 25 million lives in the past three decades, but remarkable strides have been made in the fields of prevention and research. In the past two years, the number of people with access to antiretroviral medication increased by 63 percent. In the past decade, there has been a 50 percent drop in new HIV infections across 25 countries, according to the UNAIDS World Aids Day Report. The current mission of World AIDS Day is “Getting to Zero” by 2015.

Many have of us have been touched by AIDS in someway. No one someone who has passed away due to the disease, friends or love ones who have lost someone to AIDS, or know someone who is HIV positive.  What can you do to help?

End over End

Jake's trip to England is more of a busman's holiday with him doing promotion for EoW to at least three outlets tomorrow.

Jake will chat with BBC Radio One's Nick Grimshaw Friday morning,  field questions on MSN UK later in the day and then his late couch time  with Graham Norton.

And it looks like the end of the End in terms of promotion for it's theatrical run too. And for those who missed it  End of Watch is coming out on Blu-Ray and DVD in the US on January 20th.

While Jake works his way out of 2012, 2013 will give him a little rest in Jan will soon ramp up in February as he goes back in front of the camera for Prisoners.

Then maybe Jake's beard will get a break.

 

All work and no play?
