Ron appeared on The View last week alongside Tom Hanks and others who were entertained by Ron's cameo in Blame It and he was asked to explain how it happened. Jamie Foxx asked Ron at the Obama Inauguration and, caught up with the love and good feeling of this historic event, Ron assumed he was being asked to appear in a We Are The World type video. Instead, he got red lights, booze and dancing girls. The upside is that he did get to sit in a car with Jake Gyllenhaal and he too may have been allowed to keep a hat. You can see a video of this interview with Ron here.
The video below gives us a little taster of the jollity that went on behind the scenes during the video shoot when all concerned were encouraged to show their 'party face'. Fortunately, we get a glimpse of Jake's.
The song is released in the UK at the end of June so we may get to see Jake on our TV screens this summer after all.
Film of the Day - Donnie Darko
Donnie Darko gets a showing on Britain's BBC2 tonight as the Film of the Day, hopefully allowing new audiences a taste of a film that for them too could become a discussion point for years. In 2001, a snippet about rising star Jake appeared in Interview magazine: 'A self-professed "odd, wacky, weird kid" growing up, Gyllenhaal, 20, is playing the same kinds of characters. And that's fine by him: "There should be more movies that say, 'So you're going through some abnormal shit? Hey, it's just a part of growing up. Feeling like an oddball is OK.'"' IT's difficult to think of any film in which this is better expressed than Donnie Darko, or any other actor who could possibly have embodied it more convincingly and soulfully. So, if you're able, 10.30pm, tonight, BBC2.

Great video clip...what fun it looked like making that music video, huh?! So glad we got to see a glimpse of Jake in it! Thank you for posting. Happy weekend!
Hi BBMISwear! It's good to get a glimpse of Jake and I bet the whole day was a lot of fun. I hope you're having a good weekend - it's been so warm ehre, today, wonderful :)
Worryingly, for a Star Trek fan, my word is slaydata :/
Good night, wet dark!
Jake is sexy with that hat!
Ron assumed he was being asked to appear in a We Are The World type video.Funny!hehehe

Applause after "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus"
:):):)
Morning Monica! Thanks for the link - I'm so please for Terry that the film had such a good reception :D
Have a goof Sunday everyone - another stunning summer's day :)
The reception for "Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" was rather mixed. I feel for Terry Gilliam, cause he didn't receive good reviews for a movie since Twelve Monkeys in 1995. Heath did this movie as a favour for a friend, he loved Terry. :)
Thanks for this "making Of..." video. Looks like they had a lot of fun. I SAW Ron Howard on The View and he was pretty funny explaining about the video.
Wonder if Jamie was persuading Jake NOT to try to dance in that one shot...:)
For Terry Gilliam, getting a "mixed review" is like getting accolades! I've seen still shots from the movie and I'm really impressed with Colin, Jude, and Johnny and the way they made them up to sort of resemble Heath, but not. I think the movie will do well.
It may end up being one of Terry's better efforts. It doesn't really matter. I intend to see it one way or another, and I intend to buy the DVD.
Hi JakeFan :D Heath and Terry seemed to have had a wonderful and very creative relationship. Many people, of course, can't get to grips with Terry's films. There are some I really enjoy and then there are others I just can't get - I'm hoping Dr P will be one of the former.
Hey 16:23! Thanks for that - I'm glad you got to see The View. Sounds like an interesting show generally. That's so funny about the dancing! Yeah, Ron was instructed not to smile, and Jake to stand still :D What a day!!
Hi 16:28 :D I totally agree - mixed is good for Terry. This film will always be very important and special to a great many people, whatever some critics think. It's not usually the type of film I would go for (although I've thought that before about some Gilliam films and I've loved them in the end) but I'll have to see it.
I hope everyone is having such a good Sunday - it's just beautiful here - I've been sitting outside with a book :)
Hey everyone!
That behind the scenes video is cool. I love seeing Jake with Jamie et al.
DD is always a brilliant film. They are coming out with a sequel, S. Darko, which looks awful and is blasphemous to the original. It is going straight to DVD.
Great pics of Jake at the Lakers game. I do wonder who he was sitting with. Lots of celebs there that night.
Hope everyone is having a great weekend and a nice memorial day weekend in the US. I was in the pool Friday and yesterday (nice!) but it is cloudy and cold today. :(
xoxo
I haven't watched Donnie Darko in quite some time - I just remembered that one of my favorite actresses, Mary McDonnell from one of my fave movies, played Mrs. D. Jake sure works with some great people.
Happy to hear about the 3 min. standing ovation for Terry Gilliam. :)
Hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend,
Hi Get Real! S Darko sounds absolutely awful, I don't know why they bothered. You sound like you've been having fun - sorry to hear the sun's gone in.
He certainly does, Bertie :D I hope you're having a good weekend - mine's not long unfortunately. But I have enjoyed the sunshine.
