[Update] Jake and Reese in Madrid at the Prado - Waiting for Peter

I interrupt this post to bring news of the much questioned whereabouts of Jake Gyllenhaal. He has been seen (with The Hat) in the glorious city of Madrid, as Reese continues her Monster tour of Europe. Here are Jake and Reese and friends visiting one of Europe's finest art museum experiences - the Prado. Many thanks to IHJ for the new pictures! You can see more there.







And on with the Peter post...

It's been quite a week in Gyllendom - spandex, swiftly followed by hot portraits of Jake on set as the Prince of Persia, lit by subdued and romantic candlelight and adorned by exquisite accessories. Almost without pause for a breath, the next we hear is that Princess Gemma of Persia took full advantage of her kissing-Jake opportunities and her tongue 'slipped out'. While we let all this sink in and firment, like some heady brew, it's very good to see that Peter Sarsgaard has been getting some attention for his forthcoming movie, The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, although possibly for salacious reasons (although never let that put us off).


This film, which puts Peter up against Sienna 'Do you like my hat?' Miller, is finally getting a limited release in the US from the end of the month and even has a trailer to go with it. This trailer, be warned, does feature (albeit unreasonably briefly) Sienna jumping into a fountain naked alongside Peter and Jon Foster. When it comes to a movie that is fast on the way to becoming a DVD, all publicity is good publicity, especially when it features one extremely talented Peter Sarsgaard.



One film that I really want to see, and sooner rather than later, is An Education, which appears to have impressed every critic fortunate enough to see it. Luckily, we can see some clips from the film here - including Peter's very English English accent. This film looks marvellous.


We will also (finally) get to see Carey Mulligan in Brothers one of these days...



Meanwhile, Maggie has been back to her alma mater, Columbia University, to collect the John Jay Award for 'distinguished professional achievement'. We must also wish Maggie luck in the Saturn Awards, which puts Maggie in the best actress category up against Gwyneth 'Do I have to kiss Jake again?' Paltrow.
