Firstly, some great news today for the Brits here: the release of Love and Other Drugs in the UK is confirmed as being 31 December 2010! I have to thank the powers that be for the perfect birthday pressie: Jake Gyllenhaal on the big screen. I like to think it was Jake's idea... Many thanks to our good friends over at Bleeding Cool for sending over the great news today.
The horrifying truth has been brought to my attention that the bald guy with Jake in the Foodie pictures is Chris! So Jake grows the Face Pet while Chris loses his - compromise, guys, compromise!
Le Grand Yummy
As we know, Jake Sasquatch Gyllenhaal was at the Big Foodie event in NYC towards the end of September. Not only was Jake captured on camera, he was also captured on a video camera. The Face Pet was out to grab attention. I don't know about you, but I can hardly notice it.
With thanks to IHJ for their scan from US Weekly we have some details about Jake's foody appearance - there's a lot to do with kissing a girl's cheek, snapping his fingers and dancing out of the door (instead of sampling food and wine and chatting with friends).
More details have also emerged of Jake's other appearances over the last couple of weeks, including the ballet appearance. But we hear much more about Jake's New Yorker appearance on 2 October from the NYMag, including this: 'According to Zwick, Gyllenhaal and Hathaway had been complaining about how often he'd forced them to do nude scenes. "I said, 'What do you want me to do?'" said Zwick. "And they said, 'You take your clothes off.' And I said, 'Fine!'" Said Gyllenhaal: “It’s weird how eager you were, too. He was like, ‘That’s it? No problem!’ And then it was off. It terrified me! Like, all of a sudden, this really intimate relationship became way, way weird.” Then, says Zwick, all three of them snapped a naked photo together. "The art director looked at it and said, 'Get rid of the director,' and he stripped me out and put Annie’s head on Jake’s shoulder, and that’s the movie poster."
You can read more details, which have been featured from other accounts here already, there, but this is new: 'His dream list of collaborators: Paul Thomas Anderson, Ryan Gosling, and Michelle Williams, again.' Interesting.
Recent sightings
You won't be surprised to hear that Jake has been seen yet again at the organically lovely Sun in Bloom, who tweeted: 'Jake Gyllenhaal stopped by for his 3rd&4th visits today @SunInBloom & says reuben special is his favorite. He Loves the #gluten free cookie!' Upon doing some research, I can inform you that the Reuben Special comprises: 'SIB's "corned" tempeh with a mountain of live sauerkraut and kitchen fresh Russian dressing dashed with a taste of dulse'. I am non the wiser.
Last night, Jake was seen in... wait for it... a restaurant, this time in Soho. Another New Yorker informed us : 'you missed Jake gyllenhall at the fish. And the directors guild at some other place. NY was weird tonight.' Thanks very much to the tweeter for letting me know this is a bar. But one thing's for sure - Jake Gyllenhaal is as hungry as ever. I blame the beard.
Maggie and Peter in India
Yesterday, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard helped to inaugurate the 40th SOS Children's Village in Alibaug, Mumbai. 'he village, set up by the non-governmental organisation SOS Children's Villages, will accommodate 140 orphans from the State. The Hollywood couple, who are the global brand ambassadors of SOS International, said they were glad to be associated with the cause of providing family-based care to the orphan children.'
You can see a video of the event here and it is truly wonderful - Maggie and Peter dancing and drumming, surrounded by children, all in the brightest of colours. Just fantastic to see.
Includes pictures from IHJ and The Hindu. Thanks to Karmentxu for the heads up on the foodie video. And thanks to Bleeding Cool!

Thanks WDW, for all this wonderful gyllenhaal news. At least we know that Jake knows where all the good restaurants are in Brooklyn and NYC AND that he is not going to starve by any means.
I have to think the beard is a phase he is going through. My brother had different phases. He normally has a mustache, but he's shaved that off and gone clean shaven (for him he looks better with a mustache, kinda like Tom Selleck looks weird without one too) then he had his long hair phase, although he has wavy hair so it never grew down his back. Then the beard, He grew a beard, I didn't like it on him any better than I liked it on Jake.
My brother has some similarities to Jake. hair color, eye color and long eyelashes. (well maybe his hair color is more gray since he is 24 years older than him)
I am glad he is having a great time in NY. I wonder how long he'll be sticking around. we know he'll have to be heading back to LA to do all the talk show stuff (well in NY too.)
I'm still going to be patiently standing here with a razor and shaving cream for sensitive skin (you can't be too careful) and hope he'll get rid of the face pet or rug.
I thought Maggie and Peter are adorable, so nice they took a trip to India.

Wonderful news about the UK release date! Much, much better than Valentine's Day and a great birthday present indeed. :-D
The poster news made me giggle. Would love to see the original!
I'm always amazed at these magazines. 'Gyllenhaal let loose' and then in the next line: 'grabbed a girl's hand and kissed her on the cheek'. Whoa. Scandalous! Outrageous! *grin*
Thanks for the Maggie & Peter vid. Jake must be so proud of his sis & bro in law. What a lovely couple they are.
(please note how I'm trying to ignore The Bear... Now thát thing is something scandalous. Let loose and shave, please!)
hey WDW, how u doing?
I really really loved this post..
so much news :)
it's good to see Jake, and his lovely smile on that video after all this time,
oh and I'm glad you guys already have LAOD release date.. what a way to end up the year!
I don't even know when is the movie coming to Mexico but hopefully soon..
have a great day :)
Hi WDW and everyone!
That is cheating! To know your birthday present with so much time in advance. ;-D
I agree with you, Jake told people in Fox to make it the 31st specially for you. That's the least he can do for the good publicity you make and devotion you show. I would add he should call you and leave some message in the answering machine like he did with Ellen.... wouldn't that be just perfect?
Woa, Chris looks weird with no hair! Maybe Jake could give him some of his? :D
Ed's story about the poster is funny but I still want to know why they chose that picture. I love the almost naked Jake but I still don't understand why he has his hand in his face.
The image of Grizzly Adams Jake snapping his fingers and skipping out the door makes me giggle. I wish someone had filmed that! :DD

Wet Dark, this is great news. Very good to know that you will not wait long.
Well, I'll have to wait until January.
I do not like the new look of Chris!
Hello! Sorry for the absence - my cold is extremely disgusting.
Hi Sweetpea :) Jake most certainly will not starve and if anything he'll get a great diners guide out of his time in NYC this year :D OMG please don't remind me of the Tom Selleck fur...
It's so much better, Lady Ekster! The February date was diabolical! I can live with this one as it's a birthday treat :) I've got to say these magazines do talk some rot.
I love the Peter and Maggie video - absolutely love it
Thanks Linda! I hope you get a date very soon for Mexico.
Hey Eureka! It'll definitely make pressie buying easier for everyone - I bet they're sighing with relief :D OMG wouldn't that be fantastic! Jake calling us on our birthdays! Maybe we should whisper it as I can just see some people doing this to tease me... :D
OMG, Olympia, that's Chris?!! Bloody hell - Jake goes one way and Chris goes the other! It does make the beard look good though. Blimey. Maybe it's a bet!
I tend to think the face in front of the mouth is because Jamie has tested the viagra.
Thanks Monica! And January isn't too long after. I'm glad about that. And I'm in Chris shock...
Wow... Chris... Jake shave and Chris grow your hair back, OK?!
Hi WDW and ya'll,
Lots of interesting little Jake nibbles to ease our ever increasing appetite for LAOD.
Wow! Now there's an expression of love for ya... On your birthday no less! ;-)
@Eureka - yep, he so should call and leave messages for WDW's b-day.
Had a good laugh about the nudity kvetch. Yeah right! Who are yous kiddn'.
@LadyEkster/@WDW - that mag snippet ... Pff, what a bunch of baloney!
Loved the vids too! Especially Maggie and Peter dancing for the children. Precious...
And Grizzly Bear played at the food fest? I love Grizzly Bear! Saw them at the Enmore a couple of months back. Great gig. I'm still kickin' myself in the butt for having missed out on "Splendour in the Grass" this year. Now THAT was a dream festival line-up! Why didn't I take a sickie? WHY?!
Uh... Back to work. Grmph, grmph...
I just had a HORRIBLE thought: what if Jake follows Chris' lead in the shaved head department? This ain't no Jarhead, this ain't no disco...OMG I'm shaking here!
Sorry for the absence - my cold is extremely disgusting.
Feel better soon! Sending you well wishes and a Big Jake Hug.
I just had a HORRIBLE thought: what if Jake follows Chris' lead in the shaved head department?
I'd much rather see him bald than bearded. Seriously. I like his look in Jarhead so I guess I can deal with bald. The real horror imo would be if he goes bearded AND bald. :-O Yikes. I'd not forgive him that even if it would be for a part in The Hobbit.
Some leading ladies I'd like to see Jake Gyllenhaal collaborate with:
- Amanda Seyfried (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3KWzZk1ryc)
- Dakota Fanning (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNNp5GyzlKc)
Something gritty, dark and twisted à la David or Jennifer Lynch... A real thrilling, bitter-sweet mind-bender.
Btw, I'm sure either of these lovely ladies could effortlessly seduce/coerce JG to tame the fuzz. ;-)
That's my water cooler/coffee break moment of the day... Back to work! Aarch!
OMG LadyEkster, a bearded AND bald Jake?! You`re gonna give me nightmares!! That would be the worst possible hair-beard ratio. OMG the horror! The horror!!*shudders*
Sorry you`re not feeling well, WDW. Jake should shave and get pictured getting a cup of coffee to help you feel better. :)
I`m watching the few last miners get rescued in Chile. This is just amazing. :)

Happy Birthday WDW (a little early - hee hee)! Such great news about the confirmed LAOD December 31st release date for the Brits!
What a full to the brim post - thank you for all this! The guy is sure getting around - which is awesome. To get to kick back and enjoy himself like this after the work, work, work he had done up until this summer must be such a joy for him. I want more pictures and wouldn't mind a magazine cover (or two, or three).
Great inside scoop about the LAOD poster and Ed Zwick...I just love that poster! And that video of Maggie and Peter is terrific.
Great Stuff...see you next time!
:-)
Fudge... No new Jake nibbles.
Need to de-stress, pronto.
*attempts to dance it loose to the tune of Bluejuice "Vitriol" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldBhDmvWFXE&feature=related) - caught shaking vigorously in the kitchen by dumbfounded colleague - D'oh!*
Must have more Jake... Jaaaake, Jaaaake... *murmuring in a zombie like drone*
Hi!! Lovin' the post, the tweets, and the pics. I live in NYC and I'm dying to see JG!!! Pray for me everyone :) A slight correction: LAOD will be screening on October 21st at the CMJ Festival here in New York not the 19th. All the best!
Eureka, if Jake left a message on my answering machine, I'm sure it would be of shock as I have him singing on it!
Morning everyone! Rushing round with meetings today so back soon! Thanks for the get well wishes - I am truly disgusting today - ugh...
That's hysterical about your voice message Gyllenhaalisgr8!
Waves to everyone! Back very soon!
Hi everyone!
@gyllenhaalisgr8:
OMG! I laughed so hard, at first I did not get what you meant. Is that true? Ha,ha. That would be so funny to watch. What does he sing, if I may ask?
@WDW: You can do it!
Have nice day!
Hello WDW and everyone
Good news about the 31 December LAOD release date in the UK!
And I am all excited about the DVD release of PoP. I went into my local video store today and there was a full size poster promoting POP prominently displayed -yay! It's positive that it is getting good promotion here in NZ. PoP is out on 20 October here.
Cheers
Tui
Hi WDW - Jake must know that you and I were born on 31 December - its too much of a coincidence! He must have influenced the release date just for us!
What a birthday treat, naked Jake, yum yum - wont need any birthday cake :D
At my age, if a naked man jumps out of a cake, he'd better be holding another cake!
I didn't realize that was Chris with him in the pic. WOW they both decided to change their looks up. Jake got hairy and Chris shed his locks.
It's nice to see them together again. I think they should open a restaurant together
sweetpea
Hello everybody.
WDW - you must take better care of yourself. Drink hot hen or chicken [hen is better] broth with chilli, ginger and a lot of garlic and green parsley. That's very good combination when you have a cold.
Girls, I like all your comments. Bald Jake with beard - it's worth to see and collapse!
Jake at food festival and couple of times per day in the restaurants - everyday - that is too much to satisfied his appetite. I think he has some friends in NY to have lunch with someone and he's seen always alone. For me it looks like searching and sniffing in food business. Making some plans or decisions. He behaves very mysteriously. And his growing beard goes with it very well.
Hello everyone! Sent home for being toxic.
OMG bald head and big beard - that is not a combination I want to think on! Thanks for putting that image in my head :)
Thanks Mermon! I need a veggie version. Jake should send me something from Sun In Bloom.
Gonna do a post and then curl up :)
Hi WDW, good news to you Brits, gonna be a really great New Year treat..Lucky you..
The story bout the poster is pretty funny, is it true that Ed Zwick was photoshopped out of the picture? where do you think he will be in the bed in the original pic?hahaha
Is it okay for Jake to eat that much? He won't get some layer of fat on his tummy, will he? You know, tempeh, one of the Reuben Special ingredients, is my country traditional food, it's yummy, healthy, and full of nutrition. Glad that he loved it.
Maggie And Peter doing some good deeds, so nice for a Hollywood couple to care for children of the world. Maggie is as beautiful as ever, Peter playing the drum is so funny.
I am hoping there will be more footage of the New Yorker Fest talkshow, just cross our fingers.
Thanks for the post WDW!!!
I bet Jake is singing the song he did on "Saturday Night Live." I doubt that he would be shocked if he called someone and heard that. Most likely he would feel honored.
Sauerkraut and tempeh are not likely to make anyone fat unless they eat enormous quantities of it. If Jake is eating a lot of fish and salads and vegetables, the calory intake is not going to be excessive.
Actors are pretty changeable when it comes to how they look, unless they're television actors who have a role in a long-running series. I can imagine Jake starring in a sitcom about Abraham Lincoln. If it runs for seven years, that's how long we'll have to wait for him to shave off the beard ;-) (Just kidding!)
