Maggie turns heads and New York City revisited for Jake

Last night, while Peter Sarsgaard continued to act his socks off in Chekov's The Seagull on Broadway, Maggie Gyllenhaal hosted the Gen Art and SOYJOY Fashionably Natural fashion show in LA. And, for the occasion, Maggie revelled in her new short and flicky hairdo.



In this video you can see an interview with Maggie at the event and hear her describe 101 uses for bamboo.

But it's back to New York and Broadway for Maggie because on Monday she has joined a 'staged reading of Bertolt Brecht's The Good Person of Sezuan, adapted by Tony Kushner and directed by Tony Speciale, as part of Classic Stage Company's, popular First Look Festival - a program of one-night only staged readings, performed by notable actors... Joining Gyllenhaal in the reading are Jeremy Strong, Jayne Houdyshell, Jason Butler Harner, Ben Shenkman, Ryder Smith, Mary Shultz, Roberta Maxwell and Judith Roberts.' Roberta Maxwell, of course, was Jack's mother in Brokeback Mountain.


Something to chew on

A big thank you to IHJ for these new old pictures of Jake Gyllenhaal from the summer of 2006 in New York City. Never before has an oral fixation looked this good or this sexy.






And my personal favourite...


Includes pictures from IHJ, links and here.

maggie! maggie! maggie!

o well I only love her madly because she's Jake's sis. but I admire her despite "valley girl" phrases and Im glad Maggie and Peter are fastened more in NYC than west coast - and Maggie's doing classic theatre, as is Peter. they are both very gifted.

old pictures of Jacobo just make me sad. I'm waiting like a faithful dog by the door, dreamin' of his return. . . (howl howl howl o allen ginsberg said that already)

I just HAD to check the bamboo sheets:)Actually,I've just checked a lot of sites which offer organic clothes. They are great and not as expensive as I expected them to be.Things I do because of the Gyllenhaals...I wonder if Jakey sleeps on the bamboo sheets:) OK,I have to stop here;)


I love Jake+orange juice+a white t-shirt+ smooth muscular arms+NYC combination. The best combination ever. There is only one better combination:Jake+bamboo sheets. Here I go again. Somebody slap me, please.

I love Maggie's hair - it really looks good on her. And Jake - what can you say? Sexy. I hope he's ok - I heard he had a injury that had the potential to be a serious one.

What a great video clip - Maggie is right, sometimes it seems so insurmountable, making changes in our lifestyles to conserve energy and protect the environment, but just do what you can do, do the best you can do, is a good way to look at it. :)

I love this hairdo! I loved it on Julie Andrews, and I love it on Maggie Gyllenhaal. It's just perfect for her in every way.

Good morning everyone! Good to see you. Absolutely shattered last night and feel asleep watching the TV!

Hey Zodiac! Won't slap you, honest... Bamboo sheets? Is that a good idea? Fine for pandas I'm sure, but for Jakes? Jake in a white t-shirt with orange juice is a fab combination, although cocktails are better, and bamboos sheets.

Hi Anon :D I heard about Jake's injury - thank heavens he sounds ok now. I hope they keep the props away from him now!

The video's great. And I do think people are finally realising that we can all make a difference and that habits are changing.

Morning Monica! Maggie's hair looks great! I think she really suits short hair. Chris is definitely sexy and hot and sexy... and hot :D

Hi Paul :D It does suit Maggie. I've got images in my head now of Maggie singing in the Alps.

Hope everyone has a good day :D

tee hee. WDW, I was thinking of inserting one of Donnie's dinnertable lines to his sister -

Maggie take your bamboo sheets and - GSAF!

tee hee again not really. . .

I loved seeing Jake and Maggie together in DD.

maybe one day, again. . .

See Pia, I explained the situation to Maggie and she took the hint :D I would love to see Jake and Maggie on the big screen (or stage) together. I loved DDarko but it'll be great to see them in a different setting, where Maggie wasn't selected simply because she was the sister.

I'm very disturbed by the turn that the U.S. election is taking now. Being careful what you say about terrorism has become very important, and I do worry about Jake or Maggie saying anything that could be misinterpreted.

I wonder what the play Maggie is reading is about.
