Sold (Again)

The LA Times is reporting the sale of Jake's Hollywood Hills home is final.

The "gated compound" as the LA Times referred to it it's weekend real estate round up sold for $3,262,500. It was listed at $3.5 million

"The single-story home, built in 1948, sits on nearly two acres with expanses of lawn, mature trees, a swimming pool and a detached office. There are canyon, mountain and cityscape views.

The 2,826 square feet of living space, crowned by vaulted beamed ceilings, includes a central hall, a den, a family room, three bedrooms and three bathrooms."

Jake had originally purchased the house for 2.5 million in 2005. 

If this sounds like you heard it before, you have.  Trulia reported exactly one month ago that Jake had found a buyer.  

Now the question is why would the LA Times and other major media outlets somehow hold the story and run it Thanksgiving day week?

While realtors are all about location location location,  pr is all about timing, timing,  timing.

Stars and No Holds Bar

A couple of weeks ago OMG posted about  Jake sitting down with this season's indie stars in the running for award season to talk about making movies in Hollywood and making indies. 

Below is the 72-minute discussion moderated by The Hollywood Reporter that was just released.



Speaking of Jake and fellow stars,  a story quietly slipped into the media mix.  It was dismissing the idea of Jake's fellow Southpaw co-star Rachel McAdams. Bustle's "Who's Rachel McAdams dating? It's Probably not Jake Gyllenhaal." effectively put down the idea of her with Jake or even with Jake during the filming of Southpaw.  Hey Bustle what do you know to rule the Jakester out so quick? ; )

Like they say, timing is everything.
