Today is the Day. The last day of Oprah. And for that it's a look at Jake and Oprah.
Jake has been on Oprah one way or another 3 times.
The first time was back in 2004 , Jake helped get the vote out and hit up a college campus to get the word out in a segment for Lady O.
Jake even shook the pom poms for USC.
Who loves a Trojan man? ; )
Then in January of 2006, Jake and the rest of the cast of BBM had an audience with the daytime tv legend, sitting on her couch for a chat about BBM.
Not Oprah's best interview. Some of her questions, even made Jake think "what the...?"

A little snippet of classic Jake.
But going on Oprah did do something, that was bringing Brokeback to a whole new audience, and opening a dialog with people who may have never talked about same sex relationships before, let alone even thought about a same sex love story.
The last time Jake was on Oprah again was in a clip, after presenting at the Oscars in 2010.
Jake and Rachel talking to Nate
What Jake didn't expect was Nate's question about Heath.
And there is one more Jake and Oprah connection, and a favorite thing to both - food.
Oprah's friend and former personal chef Art Smith co-owns, Table Fifty-Two, in Chicago, and Ms. Winfrey has sent many who have visited her show there to experience Smith's down home goodness.
“Oprah іѕ really loyal,” ѕаіԁ Smith. “Shе sent unconstrained people tο thе restaurant, frοm Robert Redford аnԁ Jake Gyllenhaal tο Demi Moore, Miley Cyrus аnԁ Fergie frοm thе Black Eyed Peas.” Source

I am wearing a long wig. I have fake sideburns and the year is 1969. That's all I can tell you about this film right now.

Jake's back home in LA and doing some banking in Beverly ... Hills that is. He left the Jethro boots home.
Jake's Bank Run - JJ
What a wild day! We had tornado sirens going off and people were calling home to check on family, make sure they were getting in a basement and my big buddy and super had the Doppler radars up so we could track all the big Red blotches.
And where was I?
At Wally World!!!!! Sirens were going off the whole time I was in there, passed a trooper on the overpass; he was watching that huge wall cloud that was right over to the west of where I worked. Got back and found out I had missed the tornado drill, everyone at work had to take cover for awhile.
See, it was real humid this morning and now it's gorgeously cool outside. That's what you get when you get chances for tornadoes. My cube mate had a really cool picture on a friend's FB page she sent to all of us. You should see it - it's like something out of Ghostbusters, big ol' clouds and they're green. The picture is of a huge wall cloud hanging over downtown Kansas City.
Gosh, Special, that's awful to hear your dad had to take cover like that. Thank goodness that thing didn't touch down. We heard of funnel cloud sightings all over JoCo. I'm tired of this stuff, I'll say that.
What a day, what a horrendous week! Everybody needing this, that and the other thing, driving me nuts. But now I'm free, free, free!!!! Got some great new Cheez-Its for my flight to snack on. They are Colby Cheese and I already had to sample them. They are awesome.
I can see Jake loving Art Smith's comfort style food. Art is all about love, food goodness,sharing. Art is a real nurturer,and food is his way to do that. Sounds a lot like Jake too.
The new pictures of Jake. With his beard coming in so full it has a tendency to make it look like Jake is frowning. The beard covers the corner his lips and make the look pulled down. Jake has such a great natural smile, it's a shame it gets lost.
Well, he's sure not smiling in those bank pictures, Special. The guy is frowning.
Crabby Jake.
You know, I have a question, just curious.
How come Jake's karate teacher has to keep escorting Jake out to his car? Meet him at the gate? See him out? If it's private lessons, I can see walking Jake out to the door.
But walking him out to his car seems a little above and beyond the call of duty, don't you think?
My aerobic teachers never walked me out to my car. Must be included in the fee.
Just something I found interesting.
I bet Jake likes to keep those trojans on hand just in case Austin has his back field in motion. Love Jake shaking his little poms poms at USC on September 20, 2004. Austin probably volunteered to show him aroud his old alma mater and the best places to make out. Reminds me how Jake showed up on October 29, 2004 in East Lansing, Michigan which is only 38 miles due north of Jackson where Austin has relatives and where he had a little, ahem, incident in 2007. Gee, must be just a coincidence that Jake showed up in two places directly related to Austin.
Loved that Oprah Winfrey interview with the Brokeback Mountain cast. Jake was funny, thoughtful, protective of Heath, and obviously thrilled to be involved in such a well received film. Poor Heath was fidgety and seemed like he wanted to be anywhere else. I remember reading that Howard Bragman had been brought in to counsel the guys on how to deal with all the questions that would inevitably come, but I wonder if he was brought in more because of the complexity of a closeted actor playing a gay man on film and having to fend off all those personal questions. Heath was probably always afraid that he might let something slip as well.
Funny isn't it of all the places that Jake could stomp for Kerry in 2004 it is those two. Now CA and MI are big voter states, but of all the places in both of those two states too. (taking the tongue out of my cheek now)
So this is part of Socialite Life's copy with the pictures of Jake today.
In a unique outfit, Jake Gyllenhaal was spotted at a bank in Beverly Hills today. Jake was wearing sporting Ray Ban aviator sunglasses, a vintage Aviator Nation hoodie and khaki shorts.
What's so unique? It's a hoodie and pair of shorts. Ohhh is it that they don't know what so do with the Rainbow Brite of it all?
I didn't know that about Bragman, and very interesting thoughts about it M and M.
I keep noticing the rainbow too, although I think in this case a cigar is just a cigar.
But walking him out to his car seems a little above and beyond the call of duty, don't you think?
It's a very sketchy part of town.
Well the first time the hoodie came out was after he and Reese were over. The hoodie and the rings.
If it's a dangerous part of town, then take Atticus.
After all, isn't that what that big station wagon Q7 is for, right? To haul Atticus? Didn't someone else say it was to haul Maggie, Peter & fam around? Except we never see the whole shebang piling out of that Q7.
Never see Atticus getting out of that Q7. It's always just Jake. Jake and that BIG tank.
hmmm.
LOLLLLL!. This video making fun of the don't say gay bill in Tennessee, which urges people not to use other words on the theory that the thing will not exist, urges people to not say One Tree HIll.
That is so funny in light of us talking about Soapy and her carrying on.
Don't Say Gay
For me the hoodie is meaningless since Jake and his people continue to float stories about women, and get all up in arms over a photo whose only apparently problem was that it made Jake look gay.
I know.
It's to haul that big gym bag. That gym bag that looks like it's holding one whole chest of drawer in there.
Gee, too bad the Jakester didn't leave for that big Thomas Tank Train Tour with M&S on his Big Whim right after karate class, huh? From the looks of that huge gym bag, he would've had several changes of clothes instead of having to wear that one pair of ripped pants for like seven days straight. One pair of underpants. One T shirt.
Hopefully somebody had some Woolite along for the ride.
Hopefully somebody had some Woolite along for the ride.
Rinse in the sink and hang up to dry overnight.
Hey Jake's ready to backpack across Europe too.
lol. Woolite. Does anyone use Woolite anymore? Do they even make it?
Big Whim. That's another lol right there.
See, this is what makes those kind of over the top publicity stunts of Jake's stand out like a thumb that's been smashed by Stonehenge.
He'll do something so overdone, so overpublicized, so overplease like that Train Tour and then .........
shhhhhhh!..... where is he? Psssst!!! oh look, there he is....quietly going to the bank.....psssssttt! Hear that? He's gotten **sniff** salmon takeout..........oh, look, awww, coffee and juice......
And then BLAST!!!!! Trumpet Blowing, Shoulder Carrying!!! Arm Hooking!!!! No Change of Clothes on a Whim Train Ride for 2 Weeks!!!
Then it's shhhhhh!!!.....Pssst!!!....Shhhhhhh!!! karate....coffee.....dinner....Whole Foods......jogging.......shhhhhhhhh......
see what I mean?
Am I done packing? NOOoooo!!! I'm busy blogging. lol
And rather sleepy too, I must say. Well, better finish up. Early wake up call!!! Can't oversleep on this one, in fact I think I'll set 3 alarms for this deal.
Maybe I can give a shout out & big send off from the ol' MCI. Maybe I can pull an Austin and tweet a picture of someplace I'm not. You know, to make you think I'm somewhere else when really I'm another place or hey, not even flying at all but at home taking care of my secret family.
lol. Man, the snark is flowing like butter. Best get it out now before I meet up with ol' M&M. She doesn't want to have to listen to this all the way home. LOLLLL!!
Off to Califor-NI-A !!! C'mon California, show an ol' Midwesterner what you're made of!!!
The battle begins now....Is East Coast seafood the best?
Or West Coast?
Or will neither compare to Long John Silvers in Kansas?
LOLLLL!! Nite, guys
;D
Dear Ted:
You said a while back that there's an imminent scandal that could significantly damage Fey-Oiled Tush's career? Care to give any more details?
—F
Dear Fey's Wising Up:
Probably will be Toothy Tile scandalizing us first, I dare say.
Afternoon Bitch Back
What in the heck is Ted saying now.

Ted is speaking greek today. Not the slighest clue what he is getting at.
Glad everything is ok with all the weather scares. They actually had some tornadoes touch down briefly in CA tonight. Pretty far north of me, but the weather is sure weird.
Who goes to a bank any more? ATMs, on line, grocery stores fit the bill most of the time.
Really, m? LOL
Scandulous like getting married.
