A night in Paris - Bastille Day fireworks for Jake, Reese and Ava
What a way to finish off Bastille Day and a holiday weekend in Paris - with the world famous fireworks at the Eiffel Tower! According to the source, 'On their last night in Paris, Jake Gyllenhaal, squeeze Reese Witherspoon, and her daughter Ava Elizabeth grabbed dinner at Andre Allard. After the meal, they headed out into the masses to watch the fireworks near the Eiffel Tower.' That is one very handy pair of shoulders.... So, if this the last night, where to next, Jake?

Morning everyone! Just to say that a report on the Batman Premiere will follow later. I didn't want to wait before putting up these pictures :)
Hey there! Sooooo many great pics!!! I just had to come here after seeing some on DCF, just to find out that there is even more gorgeousness to see!
Looking forward to the report about the Batman Premiere. There was a short piece on TV this morning. It was strange, sad and great, to see Heath. Weird feeling. I also saw Maggie and Peter...
Can't stay - am at work...
I wish everyone a great day!
Hey WDW and everyone!:)
Oh WDW, thank your for your posts and for being...you!:D
I've been kinda busy at work and couldn't comment properly in the the past two days but I just wanted to say...Wow...I see so many wonderful pics that take my breath away and then there's Ted and Lisa's account and so many feelings keep me floating...
And...I think I fell in love, again. How pathetic, huh?
Have a great day everyone!
I have a giant TDK billboard up on the road I live, it's of picture of the Joker. I was staring at it yesterday for a full minute before i cross the road... it's going to be weird and emotional... I still don't know how I will feel.
i have to say, Jake's Paris outfits remind me of Heath...
I, too, think that I fell in love with Jake all over again after the Paris adventure. His clothes, his smile, him being so "awwww" with the kids, him being so in love with her. I don't care what other people will say again about them. I see a happy man in these pictures, he's loved, he's needed, he's found the place where he belongs. He does have a family and a wonderful career in front of him. I just want this to last forever. I don't want him to lose any of these.
Hey everyone - just added another picture and, my word, it's gorgeous! Thanks T for emailing it to me :)
Hi Uli :) Never enough Jake pics... I'm looking forward to catching up on the premiere. Alas, I'm at work too :(
Thanks so much Xenia - what a nice thing to say *) You and me both on the love thing.
Wow Winterbird! What a thing to see. I know when TL and I saw the large billboard of Rendition we nearly fell under a bus... I saw the TDK trailer for the first time on TV yesterday.
Hope everyone's having a great day - I bumped into another film set at lunch - saw James Fox and the lovely Art Malik filming a scene endlessly :D
Can't stay away... The new pic...
Damn, Jake! What are you doing to us???
Oh, Xenia, don't worry... It is not at all pathetic to fall in love - if it is again or for the first time - with The Precious! I could do that every day till the end of my life...
Hi Zodiac - posting at the same time :D It's been amazing weekend with Paris and Ted and Lisa's account - it has felt like a romantic adventure for us all :)
Hey Uli - fabulous pic, isn't it? And what a lovely comment :D
Hey, posting at the same time...
LOL WDW, you and the film sets...
Grrrr, gotta get back to work, later to the airport and then back home to revel in these pics and finally read Ted and Lisa's story completely... Could only scan it a bit Sunday night...
Have a good trip home, Uli :D Ruby and I are taking Ted and Lisa's account to a bar tonight to buy it a drink :D
Lovely pics with Reese and Ava, just lovely. And the other one - the empitome of maculinity. He should be something as the Prince. Off to work, but had to check in. :*
Good to see you BK - Thanks for dropping by. Have a good day!
hey, not gonna get my copy of the report soggy I hope :D
Love the new pics.
oops what am I doing here? I was working a second ago, this 'puter has a mind of its own.
Well, great day in the morning, as somebody used to say, my grandma, maybe.
Or all's well that ends well, Jake apparently has NOT been abducted by body-snatchers, thank you Ted and Lisa, and WDW for keeping a steady hand on the tiller; and is still an ordinary albeit gorgeous bloke, doing what ordinary albeit gorgeous movie star blokes do -
I love the Bastille Day fireworks pictures, esp. the entranced smiles - love knowing he's gonna read The Once and Future King! - body snatchers haven't muddled with his brain and reading habits, either!
And the lastest picture of Himself - my goodness! He IS fit!
And Im sure more so in person. :D
On to Morocco!
Hey Rubes - I'll try not to get it soggy although I think it'll enjoy a cosmo - or should we go all francias? Shouldn't you be working.... ;D
Morning Pia! I love those smiles too, and fit and hot. Absolutely gorgeous but I see little that's ordinary in comparison with what I know :) Hope you have a good day!
It's hot and sunny here now so, Jake, come back!
WDW, by "ordinary" - I mean for me he's morphing into a "real person" - I just love the Paris pictures!
Crikey,WDW,I can't believe how much I've cried this morning...well afternoon too,I've just spent hours on Live Journal,wallowing in,commenting on and laughing/weeping over Ted and Lisa's wonderful account of their South Carolina trip and their incredible experiences with Jake!
It's another Tuesday, 25 weeks on :-( , our beautiful Heath is all over the news channels as the Joker and in archive footage of previous premieres...no wonder I was feeling really emotional anyway today.I'm sure I'm far from alone in that. :-/
Then I got glued to Ted and Lisa's words and they brought the Jake I've so long felt I've known, and continue to love, so sweetly,sharply back into focus and I just want to hug him till it hurts. It is beyond poignancy that he holds on to Heath in the present tense,just heartbreakingly beautiful.
It's a good job that terrific Ted and lovely Lisa punctuated their account with so many genuinely funny moments and Jake-talk to temper the emotion. Theirs is the definitive deposition of a brief encounter with Jake - and this is the definitive Jake site!
Certainly are some fireworks going off looking at those Paris pictures - and the last close-up you've added in is just the business!! How can he bear to be that gorgeous?!!
I wonder if Jake is reading TOAFK for PoP? :) Arthurian legend is very influential in a lot of stories, I love it. Maggie's dress was magnificent for the TDK premiere, wasn't it? There's no hope for me, I started crying already, just from reading about the premiere! I'm still going to see it this weekend tho. :)
p.s. in my view, and I'll shut up any minute now, since Rome, and Heath's death, Jake has been demonized, idolized and also trivialized as a human being in some blogs and magazines - it's been very difficult to keep clear of this stuff. . . I am finding that for myself he is back in focus, now, as a man, and as an actor and a real person and it is a great relief to me. I feel more free to enjoy him, his life, and his csreer.
& I do very much credit WDW with steering a clean course. again, just my view.
Once again I have a wonderful smile on my face from all these beautiful pictures!! Jake...what you do to me...he takes my breath away...sigh...
Have re-read the Ted and Lisa fantastic adventure over and over again. Can't get over it. :D
Was an absolutely beautiful night out last night for TDK premiere. Maggie shone beautifully and I know Heath was there in spirit feeling all the respect, love and admiration people have for him.
xoxo
Hi there everyone :D Wish I was able to comment at length but unfortunately work has me on a leash :(
So Hi Pia, Nadine, Get Real and 16:02!
I think one of the gifts that Ted and Lisa has given us, is, as you say Pia and Nadine, a renewed focus on our Jake and I also now feel freer to enjoy him and to celebrate his work. Hard to explain why but there it is. And I love the joy that is bursting out of much of the fandom's seams at the moment :D
I share that smile on the face, Get Real!
Anon, Maggie looked simply beautiful last night!
What a beautiful day here :D
I really like that US Weekly snap-shot! The wind-swept long hair, along with his dark brows and deep set eyes really give him a hint of savage. I hope it's the look the make-up folks use for his character. In that shot particularly there's a suggestion of something not quite tamed. . . Most definitely a departure for our sweet, civilized Jake. lol
The prospect seeing how Jake handles the sheer physicality of his role in PoP excites me most. I'm not a player, but I understand PoP is one of the few video games with an emotional hero and compelling, dramatic back drop. We already know he excels at drama. What's going to be the most fun is to see him flat out running and jumping and fighting and in general indulging his inner caveman; Macho!Jake. Truth be told, I've always liked his portrayal in Jarhead as much as his work in BBM. Pressed, I could never chose a favorite. Dastan just may be the perfect combination of the two.
Beautifully said Pia. Totally agree.
Wonderful words, Nadine and WDW!
On the subject of gorgeous Gyllenhaals,Maggie certainly did look stunning at the premiere, hair swept up off that beautiful face and very fitting to wear black, shot through with bright colours.
And I think it was Winterbird who said how much some of Jake's recent outfits have reminded her of Heath. Jake's stripey tops and beanie hats have been so redolent with Heath it makes me ache!
With all these emotions,sad and joyful,it certainly is an amazing day,WDW!
Hey JoeAnn - I love that you highlighted the untamed quality - I see it too and it does feel new. The game PoP is amazingly exciting, not relying on props and weapons so much as the physique of the Prince. I cannot wait to see Jake in this kind of role, even more so now!
Hi Get Real! :D
It's just great Nadine! And I just saw a pic of Maggie and Peter - gorgeous :D
wow what a man!! haha I really really love these new pictures!! keep them coming..I especially love the pictures with Ava on Jake's shoulders..so cute!
(sigh)
I wonder if there are many who have seen the "tribute to Heath" on the Im Not There DVD. Someone mentioned tribute to Heath at end of TDK - wonder what it was like? in good taste, I hope.
I admire INT more each time I watch it, the third time, for me - new BOSE headphones make a difference. Heath's performance is fine, and I do think of Jake each time I see the scene of the fans screaming at Dylan because he's "not the same person anymore. . . "
Its a gorgeous day in western massachusetts. TDK played at midnight performances in this area, just in multiplexes. Id like the inside dope on marketing of this film; on the other hand, maybe I dont want to know. Im cynical enuff.
Why am I not in the pool?
I saw the article you're both referring to. Read it this morning on the MSNBC site and, true or not, it made me cringe a little for Jake. Not because I believed it, but because this is how rumors get legs. For what it's worth, if you think about it, it actually says more about Reese's reputation (true or not) as a type A controlling personality than it does about Jake.
With Jake's star ascending and his romance with a fellow A Lister we're just going to have to learn to take these kinds of stories in stride. Some of them are going to be lies and some of them are going to be damned lies. I can't speak for any one else, but *my* opinion of Jake takes precedence for *me*. Not public opinion and certainly not a snarky gossip article's opinion that's written solely to garner hits for the site. Peace, kittehs.
thank you!
Joeanne, please dont call me "kitten" -
I had not seen this article, whatever it is, and I dont read slag mags.
And discussion of Reese's personality is simply not okay, here. Even by reporting what is said by others, it makes the atmosphere nasty.
Hear, hear, I beg you!
Gosh Jake is hot. The Vanity Fair photo on my fridge is grinnin' again.
I'll be happy when Jake finally cuts his hair after PoP, I know I'm in the minority but i don't like it that long. I think it doesn't suit him. He looked delish before he left for London.
His outfits in Paris remind me of Heath's too. I like the style on both guys.
TDK premier w/o Heath is so wrong. He shouldn't be dead at all. After TDK he would have been definitive A list and he was even respected before TDK. What a waste, really!
Now I'll be honest too, Reese doesn't look very happy lately, OTOH Jake seems much happier than he was. I hope everythings ok, Jake seems to try very hard to please it seems. I think he's very in love with her. I hope she won't hurt him.
Love and hugs and please no offense
Sandy
Right... "A SOURCE" told us... but the source never has a name. And no one mentions how many $$ the "source" got for the "information". One one site/magazine you read one thing and on a next one the opposite where another "source" was mentioned.
It's sooo easy to spread rumors with the web. There're more paps "hunting" - want to make the big money.
Unfortunately, people like Jake have *limited* private life but everyone should accept it whatever his decisions are as you accept the decisions close friends make.
I've stopped believing such things a long time ago. Whenever I want to know the truth I ask people being close with no jealousy involved.
Sometimes I get the feeling that these *worried people* are only jealous because they aren't the *chosen* ones.
This blogg is about Jake's work - and that's being honored.
There're sooo many real frightening things going on the web - done by *so called fans* or whatever they are. (One of my friends is leading a fanclub.) You have to check things and then think about what you can do - and you realise that you can't do anything since you can't call an attorney to stop the crap which is going on.
T
Hey, Sandy. Ive put aside my natural tendency to be "honest" about my feelings about J's personal life, most of which have to do with my own projections - out of respect for others feelings on this site.
Just sayin' - it's not an easy discipline, admittedly, I dont know how WDW manages -
Pia, that's the first time I've said what I feel when I see them together lately. I have nothing against Reese, she is very pretty and wow does she look young for 32.
I just mentioned what I noticed lately, I don't say it's really like that at all. I'll shut up now and keep my thoughts to myself. ;)
Best wishes guys
Sandy :)
p.s. forgive second post. Im being a bit of a pest these past few days but Im so thrilled that Jake is morphing into the PoP before our very eyes! I find it thrilling.
Ummm. . . what was I going to say - oh, yes, I think Jake has handled his public life with dignity, thanks no doubt to his mother and father, Peter, Maggie, Robert Redford, Jamie Lee, the guy that video'd his birth, Robert whatsisname, his sturdy pal Chris, etcetc, god knows how many others -
but man, he seems to be doing a good job. Doncha think?
I quit lurking at "other forums" because they got so negative and insulting they ran people away. For the same exact reason.
Every time pictures come out with Jake and Reese being a couple, especially where it shows him involved with her kids, the negativity comes out. People quote ugly gossip, people say disgusting things and behave badly. How sad you must all be that act so negatively.
I adore my Jake! I love to see photos of his life as it unfolds. But we are only fans. We. Know. Nothing. About. Them. At All.
People are talking about someone's personality and no one even knows her on this board. No one's even had lunch with her! LOL!
If we love Jake and think he is such a good person, talented and intelligent, for goodness sake! How can we contradict ourselves into disrespecting people he obviously cares about.
We don't have to like who he likes. But we really should have confidence in his judgement and give him respect.
Just like all the people who jumped to conclusions and were so mean to Jake after Heath died. That is a rotten way to be. Some of you need to check yourselves. WDW is a wonderful, lovely person. I thought this would be a different kind of place. But some of the same nasty people come here,too.
20:41, I think people were just confused because of Jake's silence and worried because there were no official reports he went to a memorial. I thank Ted and Lisa for their report very much, now fans know for sure and can move on. I would say people like 20:41 should leave Heath rip, there's no need to bring him up in this context again.
Sandy
And 18:49 I agree with EVERYTHING you said. A bit of respect goes a long way and I cannot see Reese unhappy.
WDW and Ruby forgodsake stop your boozing and come home!
I with Pia...PULEEEZE!
WDW, come back, people are fighting something fierce!
I forgot to post how much I owe Ted and Lisa not for myself...but for what they did for all of us and especially what they did to dispel the nasty rumors spread all over in blogs and journals by the Jake doubters/haters.
I am not as overcome emotionally as I was when I read the encounter two days ago...TY again WDW...so I will read it again tonight and cry all over again.
OT
Maggie looked beautiful last night.
xoxoxox
sass
Sandy, it is all part of the same mindset. And it IS valid. So we will just have to disagree.The same people always find excuses to trash Jake.
*sigh* I've said it before and I'll say it again - there are all kinds of sites out there where Jake's private life is up for discussion, but this isn't one of them so please, just take it to your site of choice and keep it there. Thank you.
Ok, so I'm still a bit emotional from reading Ted and Lisa's report and not being able to move for TDK hype - trailer on C4 tonight- and now TL Jr tells me she wants to see it! I'm not sure what rating it is, so I've told her we'll have to wait and see, but I'm more worried about her seeing me lose the plot completely in the cinema than what she might see on screen.
I'm still loving the Gyllenlocks - that last pic is lush!
21:09, that's true when you don't like someone you find excuses to trash him, be it saying his relationship with Reese is fake or using poor Heath(in reality they don't really care about Heath either imo). Hopefully now they wont drag Heath into all this anymore. He has nothing to do with Jake and Reese.
What the hell is going on here guys! I have an evening off with Ruby to have a drink over Ted and Lisa's account, toasting the fandom and how it's full of rejuvenated joy and I come back to this. I am not impressed.
This site is not about gossip and the content of trash mags. I will not have it on here.
I am going to delete what I see fit - apologies if you get deleted my mistake but seriously my life is too short for doing a blog just for this rubbish!
PS Jake is hot!
P.S. I was looking forward to coming home and spending some time writing a new post and sharing some TDK joy, but instead I have to spend my time deleting insults to one another and to Jake.
Ironically, there's a Jake movie on the TV so at least I can enjoy that while I do it....
Thank God you're back,WDW! We got here at the same time, and like you I thought "Bloody hell,have I been knocked unconscious and woken up in a parallel universe?!"
I hope you've had a great evening with Ruby and that all the deleting you need to do now doesn't give you indigestion!
And yes,Jake is smokin' hot!
Hey WDW and Nadine - I came home about the same time as you. Had just waded through the mess when I saw that WDW was back.
I hope it doesn't ruin the most likely wonderful evening you had with Ruby!
This is really sad. After unplesant nappy changes and kid talk all day I came back here happy and hoping that the afterglow of reading Ted and Lisa's adventures would be permeating around all Jake loving sites and we're getting the same ugliness that has happened to some other sites. This just at a time when we least need it. The premier of TDK is looming and all of this is unnecessary. We love Jake in our own way so why all of this. Friends who I've met here and done a lot of Jaking with please don't let the negativity get to you. Bwoy, 'this is why he's hot' - he sure does generate some heat in here. Pia, I didn't know you were so good at fencing - must be all that secret parkour training ;D
Unfortunately, it happens again and again. You spend precious time deleting insults from message boards etc.
These people move from board to board - blogg to blogg - leaving their *marks* and having fun getting *attention*.
Don't worry WDW and look forward...
I have to wait till TDK will be out on DVD. I won't watch it on the big screen 'cause I won't be able to stand the German dubbing 'cause it's always lousy.
I'll keep reading the posts and trying to stay patient.
T
WDW ...just wanted to say how much I admire this blog and your impeccable taste. To help get things back to proper Jaking:
Those Lips...Those Eyes... Those Arms.. Those Thighs... THUD!
G
oops. sorry you had to come back to this WDW. I just want to respond with a "huh?" and a "wtf?"
Thanks for a nice evening, sorry I wasn't much fun tonight (but more fun than here, that's for sure! ;-))
big hugs and thanks so much (again) for this place and for being a good friend. *-)
Oops I guess my comments are unnecessary now the 'ugliness' is gone. Welcome back ladies.
I also wanted to say that reading the adventure was a little like watching BBM where you have a delayed reaction something haunting that hits you days after and you can't articulate exactly those feelings:o/, so right now I won't even try :o)
If it wasn't so sad it would be even funny. Every time I refresh the page the number of posts is shrinking instead of growing...
When I logged in I was like "Wow, 81 posts because of those pics!"
Agree about the German dubbing, T. But I am quite confident, that there will be a cinema showing an original version where I live. Maybe you get lucky, too, I keep my fingers crossed for you. I don't think, that I would have the strength to wait for the DVD, if there would be only dubbed versions showing, though...
Yeah, maybe Hamburg (90 minutes drive) or Berlin... (2 hours drive by ignoring the speed limits :o) ) but thinking of the prices for gas... I think I'll try to be patient - saves a bit money. :o)
T.
Harrummmppfffff....
Glad you got home safe, Rubes, I had a phonecall from Mr Ruby after I left you - hope you found him ing the end! You were wonderful company, as you always are, listening to me prattling and gushing on! Great margaritas, need another one now...
Hi Sheba! And Nadine, T and Uli! And a hi to Sass and Sandy and Zodiac :D
Welcome G, thanks for that and I like the way your mind's working :D
Deep breaths...
what happened??? did I miss something?
well, by the looks of it, I probably didn't miss much *sighs*
same old same old.
I think WDW has the right to delete whatever posts she wants to, it's her blog and we are all guests here.
I don't have to like whatever and whoever Jake likes, but talking crap about that person won't help and is downright silly.
I love that snapshot of this unruly hair (don't you love the word unruly?)... now if I could brush his hair with my hand, my fingers would disappear :P
Can I open my eyes again now? :D:D What the blinkin' flip was that all about? The moon is big and bright tonight, maybe that had something to do with it.
My phone seems to be restoring itself (and upgrading the software). It's taking a while but I am optimistic. :D
PS to get back on topic: Jake is amazing (and hot)
PPS Ted and Lisa rock.
It's been a beautiful day and many good things happening in Jake fandom - two years as part of this and spookily there always seems to be a backlash. Wish I knew why.
Glad to see you back WDW and Ruby -
Full moon or that amazing picture of Jake that set people off? Will we get a larger version? I'd like to post this picture on my fridge. (along with VF Jake the virgin of Guadalupe, etcetceetc)
oh Ruby, remember to check the clock on your iphone afterwards. After I'm done with the update, I found that they have reset the timezone to somewhere in US and all my alarm setting has been deleted.
sorry for OT!
oh... actually... I have a feeling that Jake is still a blackberry user ... does anyone know for sure? Or he has 2 or 3 mobiles? the amount of SMS he does, i wouldn't be surprised! :)
Thanks winterbird. I see it's 3.30 in the afternoon. I'm sure that's true somewhere, just not here!
Bed time for me, g'night everyone.
LOL Ruby, the full moon sure does play tricks with the mind. speaking of which as I was driving back tonight I came over the hill and the moon rose up to greet me and made me gasp! I quickly whipped out my mobile phone praying that the cops don't come along and took a picture, it was beautiful. Well for me, as they say, "it was just another Moonlight Mile, down the road". ;DD
G'night Ruby, Pia, Winterbird and Sheba :D Full moon, oo-er...
S'all right 18:49! :D
Rubes, glad your phone's fixed, maybe you should get a proper phone like me and Jake ;D
Wtf WDW, I'm just in tonight and I didn't recognise your blog and clearly I've missed stuff that's gone. :( ?
Great report from Ted and Lisa, but we knew it would be :)
Looking forward to seeing you soon.
Hi Nouskie! You've missed nothing and it's in the past now. Looking forward to see you soon! The account was great :D
Welcome back:) It sounds like you two had a great time.
I just printed out 28 pages--my printer--of Ted and Lisa's post and will probably read it many times tonight.
xoxoxo
