Disney'd, Knocked Up and it's Superbad

So what does Disney, Knocked Up and Superbad have to do with Jake?

The newest news in the state of Gyllenhaal?

Oh I know your first thought - but its not that.

And following Monty Python's advice "always look on the bright side of life"

Do you recongnize this Disney star? Yes it's Sharpay(that's PG) from High School Musical , Ashley Tisdale Who was she? She was Kim, the dorky girl in the assembly with Jim Cunningham, who comes up to the mike to ask about her step sister who eats too much. Donnie's advice. "Tell her to lose weight. Tell her get off the couch. Stop eating Twinkies, And maybe go out for field hockey."

Her small role in Darko came up during a conversation with MTV about which actors Tisdale would most like to work with.

"I would love to work with Jake Gyllenhaal ... Johnny Depp. I love Kate Hudson. She's one of my favorites," Tisdale told MTV News before recalling her one amazing day of working with "Donnie Darko" star Gyllenhaal back in 2001. "I was in one scene with him. I met him and he was the nicest guy in the entire world. At the premiere he even remembered who I was," she said. "I was there for a day. I had, like, two lines. But I'd like to actually do another scene with him, more."

And Knocked Up and Superbad? Come on that's easy.


He doesn't look like a monster or an alien here, but he and Jake have one of those in common.

Some space time continuum, huh? And in an alternate reality would have gone with musicals and action figures and birthday parties. But then would have to go with Monty Python's "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition". See how the space time continuum works?


And now for a little double shot to finish it off. Forbes came out with the list of Hottest Hollywood Siblings list. Who tops it? The Baldwins? The Olsens? Could it be the dark horse The Arquettes? (there's so many of them) It's Maggie and Jake who are the first runners up to the twosome from Texas, Luke and Owen Wilson. I say recount! Bottle Rocket might have been good but Darko blows it away. And come on Maggie and Jake could take them in a walk off and grab the crown . Could Luke or Owen pull off the evening wear competition? The interview maybe, but evening wear?

Banking on It

Forbes.com came out with their Star Currency listing. "The project's primary goal is to gain insight from the global entertainment industry regarding 1,400-plus actors in today's worldwide marketplace from a financial perspective. Many elements contribute to the financing of a film as well as its ultimate theatrical box-office performance and post-theatrical life--the actor's involvement being one of the central components. This confidential survey, while subjective, seeks to evaluate the actor's impact in a number of areas."

"Voters were asked to consider a number of elements regarding the actor's participation in a film as they applied in the market at the time of the survey. Criteria used were:

--The amount of financing that flows to a project is significantly determined by the individual actor's presence in a film.

--The individual actor's presence in a film guarantees theatrical distribution.

--The individual actor's presence significantly drives the film's theatrical box-office performance."

The top ten is probably who you can all guess Will Smith top of the heap , with Johnny Depp, Leo, Angelina and Brad all tied for second, then Tom Hanks, Clooney, Denzel, Matt Damon and Jack Nicholson rounding out the top ten.

Where did Jake rank? 52nd. But before discussion starts there are a few things about the list that are interesting.

There are only 8 actors under 30 who made the list. Only two actors ranked higher than Jake. Shia LeBeouf (rank 33) and Kiera Knightly (rank 42). There were 4 male actors under 30 who broke the top 100, besides Shia and Jake, Seth Rogen (86)and James McAvoy(86).

Shia looks to be more of action star, Seth seems to be covering comedy, and James and Jake? Where do they fit .... is HW slotting them into their leading man for that age group? Is Jake a traditional leading man? Or will he be more bankable as something else? Is this why he took PoP? What do you see him as?

Jake has talked about admiring Matt Damon's career path. Could you see him following a similar path over the next ten year?

Maggie was ranked at 200, and Peter at 214.
