WILDLIFE: CAREY MULLIGAN AND JAKE GYLENHAAL ARE FAR FROM PERFECT PARENTS

If you had a not-so-perfect childhood (isn’t that MOST people?) the movie Wildlife will bring you back to some very uncomfortable experiences. It’s set in 1960 and pretty housewife Carey Mulligan thinks she’s already over the hill at 34. She and Jake Gyllenhaal’s character have a 14 year old son who watches all their drama unfold, much like YOU did at home. Jake can’t hold down a job and he’s too “proud” to take one beneath him, so he volunteered to fight wild fires threatening his small Montana town, leaving his wife and son to fend for themselves. Lacking job experience, Carey’s practical housewife does what she figures she has to do – she gets a job teaching swimming and starts flirting with a wealthy single older man. The son is tormented by his parents’ actions and you can’t help but identify with him. It’s a wonderful script, beautifully directed by Paul Dano – a must-see if you appreciate sensitive films.

JAKE GYLLENHAAL’S BEST FRIEND IS A FEMALE?

This is the second Christmas vacation that Jake Gyllenhaal, 36, has spent with Greta Caruso, 32, But they still insist they are simply friends. Greta comes from a showbiz background also- she’s the daughter of NYPD Blue star David Caruso, and Total Recall actress Rachel Ticotin. Greta, a Yale grad, is involved in the sustainable food business. Jake and Greta are frolicking on the beach in St Barts, giving each other a quickie back or neck massage. We know how unusual it is for heterosexual men to be just “friends” with women – admirable, but unusual. Hence the curiosity about their relationship…

NIGHTCRAWLER: AT LAST! AN ORIGINAL STORY!

photo-Night-Call-Nijakecut
Nightcrawler
With so many good films to choose from right now, whatever you do, don’t overlook Nightcrawler. It’s a deliciously noir Los Angeles story about a sleazy freelance guy who photographs crime scenes and sells the pix to the highest bidding TV news station. This is a smart movie – well written and well acted. Jake Gyllenhaal is super creepy and Riz Ahmed is astonishing as his jittery young sidekick. “Astonishing” because we thought he was straight out of East LA, but Ahmed is a trained English actor! This is NOT a movie you’ve seen before, so don’t miss it.

JAKE GYLLENHAAL: HE USED TO BE PRETTY

Wow! Jake Gyllenhaal looks about 20 years older in this photo from the set of “Nightcrawler.” In the movie he plays a news reporter hungry for a big scoop, who discovers an underground world of freelance crime journalism in Los Angeles. According to Jake he’s lost only “a little over 20 pounds” but it looks like he’s underestimating to us. He’s joined the Matthew McConaughey club of guys who dieted away their good looks.

JAKE GYLLENHAAL CAN NEVER LEAVE BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN

#jakegyllenhaal #janetcharlton

Gay Pride week just ended in West Hollywood so we felt it was appropriate to post this photo of Jake Gyllenhaal, although it’s not new. Certain internet gossips have insisted for YEARS that Jake is gay, but we don’t buy it. No evidence. We do love that he’s making fun of the situation here – he endeared himself to us.

WE TOLD YOU JAKE GYLLENHALL WASN’T GAY, AND ADAM LEVINE IS TELLING YOU TOO!

We’ve told you that Jake Gyllenhaal is NOT gay, and his buddy, Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine, agrees with us. He told Out magazine: “Will everyone stop thinking that dude is gay? Seriously guys. How immature is it of the media to perceive this guy — it has to be because of Brokeback, right? I’ve known this dude forever. He’s one of my oldest friends, and it’s very weird that they have this — it’s very immature and infantile the way they treat his whole situation. If him hanging out with his bros means he’s gay, it’s like further perpetuating that weird homophobia that exists in our culture, which is just stupid. So, yeah, he’s my buddy. I fuckin’ love the guy.” So wise up, you negative commenters out there who like to label everyone in Hollywood as gay!

THE REAL REASON REESE WITHERSPOON AND JAKE GYLLENHAAL BROKE UP- NO, HE’S NOT GAY!

At last the truth comes out. An acquaintance of Reese and Jake acknowledges that they were very smitten with each other for quite awhile and seemed perfectly matched. Unfortunately, Jake had a habit that Reese could not live with, and he wouldn’t give it up. He smoked way too much. And we’re not talking nicotine here. Not only did it rub Reese the wrong way, but she worried about her children being exposed to his bad habits. So, regretfully, she moved on. Note: those of you who insist that Jake is gay are NUTS.

JAKE GYLLENHAAL: NOBODY NOTICED THE PRINCE OF PERSIA WAS EATING GELATO

Apparently “The Prince of Persia” didn’t catapult Jake Gyllenhaal into stratospheric superstardom. On a recent Saturday night around 11 PM he visited the popular Pazzo Gelato in Silverlake with a friend and no one noticed. Our witness said he and his pal stood chatting on the sidewalk outside the crowded gelato shop on a busy street with people walking in and out for twenty minutes – and not a solitary person did a double-take or asked for an autograph! Certainly Jake has mastered the art of moving around under the radar.

REESE WITHERSPOON: IS THAT A RING IN YOUR POCKET?

Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal have a secret. Recently they were at a Lakers game seated next to Jeffrey Katzenberg. An eyewitness told us that at half time Reese was fiddling with an antique style diamond ring on her engagement finger. She showed it to Jeffrey and whispered something to him. Jeffrey looked around and advised her “You’d better take that ring off before people see it!” She and Jake chuckled and she slipped the ring off and put it in her pocket. The pair were very affectionate and touchy during the game. We think they got engaged for real over the holidays!
