Dog days of summer



ETA: Jake on the cover of a magazine I'd never heard of before seeing the photo.

Yes, there is a lot of Jake Gyllenhaal news out there today. Well, more like one story being repeated ad nauseam. But the last post was getting a bit long, so in an effort to freshen up, let's take a little trip to Australia. Sure, it's bitter January cold here in the northeast. But the sun was shining and summer was in swing when Jake and Anne visited Sydney for Love & Other Drugs promotion.

This is a longer version of an interview we've seen. Jake reveals that he doesn't have an assistant while Anne tells us what good habits she's learned from Jake:



A Dutch interview with Jake and Anne can be found here.

Some fan photos of Jake and Anne from the premiere:



Is it two ls and one a? I always forget..."




Back to winter: Jake has spent many an afternoon recently at ABC Kitchen. Here he is, hopefully not googling himself:



Jake will present Natalie Portman with an award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival on Saturday. In 2006, Peter Sarsgaard did the honors for Jake. Here, they joke about what they are going to say:

    thankyoujesus!!!! for the new post-and you, too, UV!! Nice to look back. They're so cute together, and they obviously absolutely charm the press.

    Awwww! I love seeing him hunched over his computer! :) He looks really deep in concentration.

    Yeah, I hope he'll leave Google alone for a few days, too...he should stop by GB for a minute. ((((Jake))))

    I had to click on the pic to see Jake, I sure hope he wasn't googling himself! Thanks so much, he looks so studious and serious.

    Great post, I loved this press junket with Jake and Anne, they were so much fun.

    LOL, Mary. I should have been clearer. When I first saw the pic, I didn't even see Jake. FL had to point him out.

    Bobbyanna, I almost made a joke about Jake lurking at GB. But the thought of that is all wrong!

    Monica and chica, Jake does look quite serious. Maybe he's working on a script :)

    Thats great! When i heard that natalie portman was going to be honored i thought about when Jake won one and peter presented the award to him, and i thought he might do that for natalie. I love that photo of him on his computer, but thats not the same day he was there with his mother was it?

  9. UltraVioletJanuary 5, 2011 at 11:44 PM

    Lola, I think the photo was taken on 12/28. Not the day he was with Naomi or when he was with Taye Diggs, sadly!

    Thanks for that tidbit, Monica. I hope we get to see more of Jake's presentation than we ever saw of Peter's. One of my favorite Jake interviews was the one he did with Peter on that red carpet. I'll have to upload that to youtube, if you haven't already, Monica :)

    Awwww! Thanks, monica!

    I get a little...verklempt, just thinking about Jake presenting Natalie with an award. :)

    I hope there is a youtube video or some way to see it. Wouldn't it be nice if they'd live stream it on their website? Not that they will, but it would've been nice.

    I saw that it has been cold in Palm Springs, Mary. Jake could use a little sun and warmth, so I hope it heats up.

    I posted the video in the main post, Monica, with a link to another cute one. Jake and Peter were very funny together.

    Bobbyanna, your dream couple together again :) It would be great if they streamed it, but they never do, damn them.

    New Jake & Natalie pics would be nice. Even though I like Jake's chemistry with Anne, I think the best match for him would have been Natalie. But it's not meant to be. It's not too late for him and Anne though. ;)

    I love the first fan photo with Jake and Anne and the video of Jake and Anne. I miss them doing LAOD promo together, thanks so much for finding these new nuggets UV!

    What great news about Jake presenting Natalie with an award in Palm Springs this weekend.

    It's great seeing that video of Jake and Peter again, they are so much fun together!

    "...your dream couple together again :) ""

    (sigh!)

    UV, it's just that there's this photo chronicle in my mind of them over the years, from when they were both kids on the brink, so to speak.

    Then I remember Jake waiting for her with pink tulips for her birthday, or walking along the beach at Matthew McConaughey's 4th of July party.

    He's been supporting her charity work for at least twelve years. She's been there for him during times when he's been at loose ends, etc.

    There's just a warmth and an easy familiarity there, even a protectiveness that I love. He's very, very similar with Anne, but moreso with Natalie. Of course he's known her longer.

    Thanks for the fun video with Peter.

    (Hang in there OONP!:) )

    I know, I know that most people here don't want to read this but can't help myself:

    From Ted C of Awful Truth:

    "[Jake] was really caught off guard and taken aback by how Reese ended it," claims a source close to the 30-year-old hunk. "Honestly, he's still reeling from that."

    So much so that he can't move on with a pretty, wholesome, albeit ambitious young gal?

    It looks like Jake is not over RW...

    I got nuttin but love for the Jakeness and my heart goes out to him. The big consolation is that his work speaks for itself. And we're really enjoying LAOD over here. I showed the trailer to my students and as a result we're organising a cultural evening where we visit and experience different cultures. It just so happens that its American culture we're exploring :DD.

    Hey guys LAODs has gotten some pretty decent numbers abroad. It's made more than $13.3 million overseas in just one or two weekends and only in three major markets (UK, Australia, France) in addition to half a dozen other smaller markets.

    At this rate it may actually do twice the number it did in the US which would bring the total global cume (including US/Canada) to around $90 million to $100 million all together.

    That's not bad for a film which cost only $30 million. It also doesn't take into account DVD sales/rentals and other TV or cable rights where these types of movies thrive.

    I wouldn't be so sure to call this one a bomb if I were anyone.

    Yes, Anonymous, LAOD has only just opened in my country and it is on a lot of screens. It is getting good TV promo too, the trailer is playing on a number of well watched channels.

    So in my eyes, its money making potential has just started.

    Wow, that is great news about LAOD overseas and Jake presenting Natalie the Palm Srings Award this weekend, I hope we get some great pics!

    Nice one, Bobbyanna. And it's getting a lot of fun commentary, as well as the usual idiotic stuff.

    Tweety, it was madness trying to find a relevant Jake tweet earlier in the week. It's still pretty bad, but at least the crazy deluge has slowed.

    The big consolation is that his work speaks for itself. And we're really enjoying LAOD over here.

    One of the bummers of this whole Taylor thing is that the overseas performance of L&OD has kind of been lost. I hope it continues to do well.

    Happy New Year to you, too, Sheba. We're glad you're here, too :)

  32. bobbyannaJanuary 7, 2011 at 3:05 PM

    There're all kinds of reasons to go to Queens:) - but when I think of Queens, I think of LGA. LaGuardia. Altho he's closer to JFK and Newark being in BK. Just pointless speculation,(how redundant!:))on my part,
    since he usually rides a different train to go into Mahattan.

  33. FLJanuary 7, 2011 at 3:23 PM

    What about Queens? Who said he was going to Queens?

    Of course I have we have no idea, but if history, and habit, are any indication Jake was riding the Q from one CZ (Union Square) to the other CZ (7th Ave Bergen in Park Slope) or vice versa.

    ReplyDelete
  34. bobbyannaJanuary 7, 2011 at 3:56 PM

    True, he certainly could have been.
    YOu're probably right, FL. I was just idley speculating bcz there've been no tweets or sightings since this morning. Poof!:) Maybe he was going to work. On a movie.;)

  35. ChicaJanuary 7, 2011 at 3:56 PM

    I usually take the Q to go to Astoria where some friends live but yeah, Union Sq/Bergen Ave sounds like more od his destination.

    I'm annoyed with LAOD BO overseas getting lost in the Jake/Taylor crap too.

    And BTW UV's comment wasn't bitter, I think she was commenting on his sweater which appears too small IMO.
