Everything old

Departing for a moment from Toronto filming photos: This was posted on tumblr. It's an old shot by Gareth McConnell, who photographed Jake in 2002 for Dazed and Confused magazine:



It's part of this set, which is on IHJ. But I don't think the above photo is there.



A newspaper snap of filming:



A couple of Toronto fan pics:



A photo of Jake backstage at the Paul Newman event:

Jake Gyllenhaal appeared at the “Celebration of Paul Newman’s Dream” benefit Monday night. The event raised money for The Hole in the Wall camps, part of what is now called the Serious Fun Children’s Network.






Jake joined fellow performers Josh Groban, Jimmy Fallon and Tina Fey, among others.And the biggest performers: the campers themselves.

Some video of Jake:



Here's Jake talking about what camp he went to and why he wanted to do the event. Great clip!

And a couple of videos of Jake on stage, talking about Paul and the organization:

Jake talks about Paul Newman and JoAnne Woodward:

Coming soon

At least, we hope so. End of Watch has an official site. No release date, but let's hope this is a step in that direction. (Thanks to Monica for the heads up!)

Jake Gyllenhaal is currently in London shooting a music video for The Shoes, who tweeted a sneak peek of Jake in action. Or inaction.




They also tweeted this picture so things must heat up.

The video is apparently for a song called Time To Dance. I like it.

Jake was spotted at a party Friday night. Don't know if it's personal or professional time:

There's also word that Jake will appear at A Celebration of Paul Newman's Dream, a fundraiser for the Hole in the Wall Camps. Jimmy Fallon, Josh Groban and Trisha Yearwood are also slated to perform. (Last year's participants included Meryl Streep and Stevie Wonder.)

That photo has nothing to do with Paul Newman's charity work before, but I had never seen it before, and I like it.

Paul Newman (January 26, 1925 - September 26, 2008)

He's my celebrity godfather.' What's a celebrity godfather? 'That's the godfather that the media give you. He's a close friend of my family. He taught me to drive. I have literal godfathers and celebrity godfathers. ~ Jake Gyllenhaal, Telegraph, 10/21/07

Newman's Own Foundation Celebrates the Life and Legacy of Paul Newman
Saturday September 27, 9:14 am ET

(January 26, 1925 - September 26, 2008)

WESTPORT, Conn., Sept. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- Remembering the life and legacy of Paul Newman, Newman's Own Foundation has issued a statement. The statement, from Vice-Chairman Robert Forrester, follows: "Paul Newman's craft was acting. His passion was racing. His love was his family and friends. And his heart and soul were dedicated to helping make the world a better place for all.

"Paul had an abiding belief in the role that luck plays in one's life, and its randomness. He was quick to acknowledge the good fortune he had in his own life, beginning with being born in America, and was acutely aware of how unlucky so many others were. True to his character, he quietly devoted himself to helping offset this imbalance.

"An exceptional example is the legacy of Newman's Own. What started as something of a joke in the basement of his home, turned into a highly-respected, multi-million dollar a year food company. And true to form, he shared this good fortune by donating all the profits and royalties he earned to thousands of charities around the world, a total which now exceeds $250 million.

"While his philanthropic interests and donations were wide-ranging, he was especially committed to the thousands of children with life-threatening conditions served by the Hole in the Wall Camps, which he helped start over 20 years ago. He saw the Camps as places where kids could escape the fear, pain and isolation of their conditions, kick back, and raise a little hell. Today, there are 11 Camps around the world, with additional programs in Africa and Vietnam. Through the Camps, well over 135,000 children have had the chance to experience what childhood was meant to be.

"In Paul's words: "I wanted to acknowledge luck; the chance and benevolence of it in my life, and the brutality of it in the lives of others, who might not be allowed the good fortune of a lifetime to correct it."

"Paul took advantage of what life offered him, and while personally reluctant to acknowledge that he was doing anything special, he forever changed the lives of many with his generosity, humor, and humanness. His legacy lives on in the charities he supported and the Hole in the Wall Camps, for which he cared so much.

"We will miss our friend Paul Newman, but are lucky ourselves to have known such a remarkable person."
