Jake Gyllenhaal to feature in Jamie Foxx's new video - with The Hat

OK, I know this is the second post of the evening, but this is just too fabulous to sneak in as an update - Jake Gyllenhaal is to feature in Jamie Fox's new video for his song Blame It! And just look at that hat - it doesn't half look familiar...


'The singer will be joined in the video by Jake Gyllenhaal, Forest Whitaker, director Ron Howard, Cedric the Entertainer, Samuel L. Jackson and Quincy Jones, his label confirms. Directed by Hype Williams, the clip will premiere the week of Feb. 9. Blame It comes from Foxx's latest album, Intuition, which was released in Dec. 2008.' We've seen Jake in a spoof video (for SNL) before but it will be great to see Jake on the screen with Jamie again.

O.M.G.

He looks amazing in that picture!

(it's quite funny to see Ron Howard in that video though)

I guess I'll be listening to his Jamie Foxx song a lot on youtube :)

*maybe Jake was acting badass these days to get into the role for this video? LOL*

Hey Winterbird! Isn't this just fab?! Jake looks so cool here - I need to see more and I love the company he keeps :D Oh yes, we'll be singing along to Blame It!

P.S. Looks like Jake is the designated driver :D

Oh man loads of pics from the video and from the Film Festival now online.

He looks so like Jack Twist at the FF.

Sigh.

Ooops, I need to get to the football. Damm Jake is so distracting!

Thanks a lot for the link to the pics "while you were sleeping"...

But, oh Jake, what are you doing to me??
Face: Beautiful!
Hat: Horrible...

I am so sorry, but I think it just looks wrong in those pics...

About the video - I am somehow excited and can't wait to see it, but on the other hand a bit worried, that he might make an idiot of himself in the video...
I hope my worries will go 'poof' when I see the video! :)

Jeez, I hate it when I have those doubts about Jake...

I want to see Brothers! Like NOW! I want to see you doing what you do so good! Acting in a movie and having fun and giving us fun and some food for thought while doing the talkshow circuit for promotion...

Have a great weekend everyone!

Hey! *Waves at Londonjakefan!* Enjoy the football! :)

Thanks for the link to the pics...

WDW, don't stone me for saying this: but with that hat, now I can see that his head is a bit bigger than normal... LOL.

Still very dashing looking though. Awww... I do think he's not very happy with his current hair status, so he's experimenting with hats :)

Or he's trying for a 1930s look, so Fincher would take note and errmmm... will be good for "Torso"?

I definitely have mixed feelings about the SBIFF pics, on second viewing I like some of them, but I think overall he is definitely looking older and heavier in the face, or tired. He did not even wear the scarf with the usual style. However, I think the Jamie Foxx pic looks amazing and I do like a man in a trilby. Hmmm think I'll chew him over a bit more...;-D

Hi there everyone! Sorry I flaked out on you all last night - I ended up sleeping for 12 hours and I dreamt about David Fincher!

I've put a new post up with the wonderful pics :D So happy to see those this morning!

Hi there Get Real and Shy Anon! It's just too cool for words, to be honest - the marketing worked as I'm getting that album now!

Thanks for the link 'While You Were Sleeping' :D

Hey there LJF! I can see some Jack Twist there too :) Good to see you and have fun at the footie!

Hi Uli! What's up with the hat? :D He does look like he's playing a role here and having fun with it. I want to see Brothers now too - surely they have to tell us something soon... Sigh. Have a good dy, not too snowy round your way, I hope.

Hey Winterbird - I wonder if that one is another of those 'special' hats for Jake's 'special' big head. I agree with you about the hair. You didn't mention Torso, did you?

That sounds like an excellent idea, TD :D I do wonder what Jake said when he was on stage, love to know.

Have a good day everyone - a day for taking it easy :)
