London times




After a flurry of excited tweets earlier, photographic proof that Jake Gyllenhaal is, indeed, in London. We're having a spring-like February 1 in Boston, but it looks a little chilly there.







I see the khakis have made the trip, as well. I guess it's too late to hope the green pants were left behind.

Jake will be in Berlin next week for the Berlin Film Festival. There have also been a lot of tweets about his being in a music video in London.




We know the Brits love Jake. Further proof with this Heat page, showing Jake as the 5th hottest hunk on the planet. Maybe he can bump off David Beckham now that he's in town.

  5. I hope his beloved khakis survive thr cold in the UK!! After all those tweets he finally is in London I persume to shoot the video.

  6. Is it wrong to hope they don't, tweety? Unless it means the return of the green! I really hope he packed a more diverse set of clothes for Berlin.

    Some more photos of Jake, including one at an ATM. Not sure we've seen one of those before, have we? That would have been a spot on JakeWatch Bingo.

    Back on the home front, Jake makes a political donation.

  7. Jake makes me feel cold just looking at the pictures. Although, I have to confess, I'm looking at them on an unseasonably warm, 50-ish degree Michigan day!: )

    I hope something terrible happens to those khakis, too, but not while he's wearing them!: ) Maybe the laundry will lose them. : ) He looks thinner, especially his legs.

  8. Maybe the khakis will self destruct, w/o him in them of course!

    Good to see a bit of a smile from him:)

    Watching Some Like it Hot on TCM, one of the funniest comedies ever and a classic ending!

  10. Here's another report:

    What an evening! Just had dinner @ The Hawksmore in Covent Garden and ONLY Paltrow, Martin, Diaz & Gyllenhall at the next freakin' table! :)

    Apparently, it's the best steak restaurant in London.

  11. That sounds like a fun group!
    But after looking at the menu, I bet they all end up juicing or looking for kale @ the greenmarket! Wonder if Gwyneth will "Goop" about it. : )

    Jake looks sooooo cold! It's so warm here in Conn. and the East coast, Jake must miss the warm temperatures in NY, LOL!!!


    Good to see him hanging out with freinds, I remember him hanging with Paltrow and her husband Chris when he was with Reese.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Me, too, OONP. : )

    Jake was at Wolseley last night...and so was Bear Grylls!

    Cameron Diaz and Bear Grylls were on some talk show together a few months ago, and she was very enthusiastic about doing an episode with him. I wonder if that's ever going to happen.

  14. Another tweet about the Hawksmoor dinner with Gwyneth, etc.

    "My mate was having dinner in London and next to him were Chris Martin, Cameron Diaz, Gwyneth Paltrow and Jake Gyllenhall." Bastard

    "Oh, and he said: "Jake and Cameron looked very affectionate." Are they dating?"

  15. I agree with you, Bobbyana. He looks thinner.

    I always remember the movie Lost In Translation when I see Cameron Diaz.

    ReplyDelete
  16. More photos of Jake from last night here.

    Someone who works at the Hawsmoor tweeted about missing Jake and Gwyneth. So perhaps Jake had dinner and then dinner again? No photos of the Gwyneth party. I hope people did not mistake Chris Martin for Jake!

    From today:

    JUST MET JAKE GYLLENHAAL

    So my best mate @philleeepa just saw Jake Gyllenhaal and spoke to him. We are not best friends anymore. #jel #doublejel

  17. It must be freezing in London, Europe is being hit by a Siberian cold wave, we are starting to feel the effects in Portugal today.

    For once Jake is closer to me than most of you:)
    Cameron is such a funny girl, I bet they had a blast at dinner,he certainly loves to go out to dinner with friends.

    Baby update: super confirmed, I'm pregnant!I'm happy, scared, anxious nervous and excited all at the same time.

  18. Congratulations Paula - a Gyllenbabble baby

    I can't believe how cold it is in the UK at the mo, it's that jake always brings us dodgy weather!!! I bet dinner was a blast and jake is always effectionate to his friends and family, looks like he met bear grylls and dermot o Leary later on, certainly making the most of his time in London to catch up with old friends.

    Can't wait to see what video brought him over here

  21. "Alli @MakeupByAlli

    Had dinner a few tables away from Jake Gyllenhaal and Bear Grylls last night.. http://pic.twitter.com/gR0CRCTR"

    ReplyDelete
  22. Yay! I'm so happy for you Paula C, Congratulations!!!

    These polls on hottest men and women always annoy me but Jake coming in at 5 isn't bad at all considering he hasn't been front and center like he used to be.

    Looks like people in the UK are just as thrilled to spot Jake as paople are in New york (still the best tweets!)

    ReplyDelete
  23. Yes, Extra, but London may have the edge for taking twitpics! LOL!

  26. Am just thinking out loud so this could be total tosh but 2 sightings of Jake with Gwyneth and Chris, I'm wondering if this video is for cold play!!! I could be wrong and it could be friends meeting up but just a thought

    ReplyDelete
  27. One of the tweeters who said she had an audition for the video later tweeted the name of the band:

    Lucky you! Enjoy it! Do you have any idea what kind of music video is that?
    30 Jan
    in reply to ↑

    No clue! for a band called The Shoes
    31 Jan


    I did a little research, but I have no idea if this is the band.

    The director mentioned in some tweets (Daniel Wolfe) did a video for this band last year. The director seems to have done a series of videos for someone called Plan B.

  32. So not that anyone seemingly noticed :) But it looks like the tweeter was right, and the video is for The Shoes:

  33. Thanks, UV. I've checked out some samples and they sound pretty good.
    The Shoes have a big push coming up for an album release March 7th.

    BTW: Has anyone ever seen/heard of a South Park episode about TDAT? It was called "Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow"? I got a Google about it.

  34. Just found this:

    "Wow, what a week! Fantastic rehearsals in the room. Drinks with Jake Gyllenhaal last night and Sam barks gets Eponine! You gotta love it!"
    Laurence Connor @LaurenceConnor1

    Interestingly, Laurance Connor is:

    "Theatre Director. Phantom, Albert hall. Les Mis 25th Anniversary production and O2 concert. Miss Saigon..." London

  36. LOL! "anon"
    He's late! We've known as much as he does, if not more, for weeks now. I trust what we discover a lot more than TC, who's a repulsive, despicable POS.

    ReplyDelete
  37. ok. I am sorry I didn't know it, I have just posted the tweet

    ReplyDelete
  38. I'm sorry,anon.
    I really don't like TC. We've had lots of twitter reports of Jake out with girls,a "brunette" etc. for a while now. So TC hasn't told us anything new. I wonder sometimes if he reads/gets his information off the fan blogs and then acts like he has a source.

    ReplyDelete
  39. TC does get his infor from blogs, tweets, etc just like every other gossip blogger and yes talk about old news!

    I saw your Shoes link UV, thanks for the info, sisn't get a chance to comment on them!!

    This is Jake's 3rd music video, can't wait to see it!!

    ReplyDelete
  40. It was expected that Jake would do a video with a group not so well known, at least for me
    The Vampire Weekend I only knew them because of Jake and Jamie Foxx did not even know he was a singer lol

  41. Oh, that's good to see. Thanks, Monica!
