Lots of fun for Jake Gyllenhaal, Oliver Platt and the cast and crew on the set of Love and Other Drugs today in Aliquippa, Pennsylvania.
The stars were out Monday under a fake rain in Aliquippa.
Jake Gyllenhaal, the Oscar-nominated actor, repeatedly dashed across the soggy asphalt outside the former Aliquippa Hospital, performing a scene for the movie “Love & Other Drugs.”
In a tent off to the side sat his sweetie, Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon, in town just to watch, while Gyllenhaal’s German shepherd, Atticus, patiently waited in a trailer.
The local school system must not be highly rated, as some youngsters apparently do not know that Jake Gyllenhaal and Tobey Maguire are not the same person!
“Hey Spider-Man,” said Joey Hages, 19, of Aliquippa, who shook Gyllenhaal’s hand.
“Did you like ‘Spider-Man 3’?” Gyllenhaal asked politely, not letting on that it was Tobey Maguire who played that superhero role.
Aww - what was that about disconcerting kindness?
What are thery teaching kids in school these days?
Adorable Jake Gyllenhaal swirled into our Little Tokyo store this weekend. Wonder if he bought one for Reese...
It's been a while since we had an L.A. coffee run. Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon on Abbot Kinney in Venice. Looks like they paid another visit to Intelligentsia.
Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon attended the Elton John/Billy Joel concert last night at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia.
Elton John dedicated "Tiny Dancer" to Reese Witherspoon, who was sitting front and center, during his set Saturday night at Citizens Bank Park, part of his "Face 2 Face" concert series with Billy Joel.
When the in-stadium camera crew showed her face and that of her son on the big screen, Witherspoon quickly flashed a sheepish look that indicated she'd been busted. Her son was wearing headphones to protect his hearing.
Witherspoon, in Philly through October shooting the James L. Brooks comedy that also features Jack Nicholson, Paul Rudd and Owen Wilson, was at the show with her son and daughter and beau Jake Gyllenhaal. ...
Witherhaal (or Gyllenspoon) left during John's set in an SUV. Gyllenhaal was at the wheel.
Witherspoon made friends on the set Friday by having Rita's water ice sent in for 150 people.
In other local Philly news, the Rodin Museum has moved their most famous sculpture, The Thinker, indoors to prepare for renovation of the museum. Naturally, this got me thinking about the contemplative poses of a more modern Penseur:
Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon leaving the Hollywood Bowl on Sunday night, after attending a Ray LaMontagne/Jenny Lewis concert. Jake seemed by turns amused and annoyed; Reese bubbly, buzzed and bugged.
These photos of Reese and Jake have led to many amusing captions, including:
Jake: "Get off of my car!" Reese: "How much is that doggy in the window?*"
Reese: You wanna piece of me?"
"... the one with the waggly tail..."
Reese: "Just say the word and we'll take this outside, mister!" Jake: "Noooooo!"
For a trip down memory lane, some video of Jake and Reese watching Jenny Lewis at Coachella in April, and Jake dancing sidestage at Ray LaMontagne, ACL 2006:
Watch more Jake (with friends) and Ray LaMontagne here and here.
As a bonus for this post being so late, check out this gigantic version of the ultimate Jake "Come hither"picture:

A photo from this weekend: the cliffs of Gay Head in Aquinnah, Martha's Vineyard, once listed by Jake as his "Favorite Place on Earth." Note also his "Drink of choice" :)
I got splashed by a car driving through a puddle on my way to work. Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon seem to have enjoyed a sunnier fate in Washington, D.C. this morning.
