[Updated] Jake Gyllenhaal takes his iPad for a walk. And Get ready! Love and Other Drugs premieres (again) tonight and the press begins...

[Update] Jake Gyllenhaal was back at the Medical Center today for a number of reasons: 1) to take his iPad for a walk 2) to show how hot he is in a white shirt and his beloved old pair of jeans 3) and to demonstrate to Esquire photographers that they should try harder next time. In the past,frequent visits to the medical center have indicated an upcoming trip or work. Let's stay tuned. Thanks to IHJ for the lovely pics!




As we sit in the wings and wait for Love and Other Drugs to take centre stage and open the AFI Fest in LA this evening (or in the early hours round these parts), a quick post to catch up with a little of what we might expect. Firstly, we have a WDW Roving Reporter at the premiere tonight and so I hope to be able to post a report from the event soon!


Anne Hathaway is on the Leno Show tonight so fingers crossed that it makes its way onto YouTube and, after a lot of Jake talking about Anne, we can hear Annie's view of Jake.

Jake is due to feature live on Regis and Kelly on 18 November and you can be sure that there will be more shows than that (one hopes). One also hopes that Regis and Kelly won't bring up the Cats and milk story yet again (rather like Ruby Wax and the jellyfish).


I will of course, as normal, update the front page with a side pane outlining shows and events. If you hear of any, please let me know, so I can add it.

After the premiere tonight, tomorrow is 'press day' for Love and Other Drugs, and there is a chance to be included by posting a video question for Jake and Anne for CNN. You have until tomorrow noon (Eastern time) to get your webcams ready.


There are exciting days to come and of that I have no doubt - so stay tuned and expect some surprises! And, if you live in the UK, Esquire hit the shelves today so remember to get a copy. It doesn't half stand out...

Bring it on, bring it on! I'm more than ready for LAOD! :-D
Good luck to the Roving Reporter. I hope you have a wonderful evening.

Haha, the Cats story was in Esquire as well. Poor Jake, he'll have to hear it over and over again... ;-)

Will be keeping an eye out on YT for Anne on Jay Leno. Evening in LA is early morning in Western Europe, right? Should work out. :)

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi there Lady Ekster! Absolutely!

I can just imagine the Cats story following Jake for years (while Maggie denies it :D)

The pics from the premiere should reach us in the early morning - can't wait to hear all about it. It's all ready to kick off again :D

Alejandra said...

Okay, it's really starting now. We should make a toast or something ;-)

Wish LAOD all the best and many, many interviews and pics (and cinema tickets) for us.

I still don't know when I'll be able to see the movie here, but I'll wait patiently. The day will come. :-)

Alejandra said...

Oops, WDW, think you'll need to update the post. New pics at IHJ. More medical center ;-)

YAY! *doing the happy feet dance* It's like anticipating Christmas! I'll be staying up tonight to see Anne on the Leno show!

Wet Dark and Wild said...

Hi Alejandra! Just updated the post - great pics!

Ooh, let us know what she says Susan :D

Off to bed, see you in the morning! Good luck tonight Jake and Anne!

Alejandra said...

Have a good night. Sweet dreams too. xoxo

Haha...Jake said he couldn't imagine what the Director's Cut would be rated. Hmmm. Well, we know due to the merkin killjoys, there won't be any penis action (stop crying, girls -- it's tough on all of us!). But that talented tongue is another matter! Oh, to have an X-Rated Jake movie! It would NEVER leave the DVD player, sigh.

Snow said...

Ahhh can't wait to see that "inner" report and all info! Wonder what he will be wearing *drools* and goes to bed early today too... see you all tomorrow!

PS. Just saw those white tshirt and jeans pix...omg is that the US version of Esquire? Haha, so much better imho!

*Snow*

Darling Bluebell said...

SQUEE! Looking fab, Jake!
Pity isn't it, that your average pap takes better pics of Jake than Esquire's photographers.

Oh, to have an X-Rated Jake movie! It would NEVER leave the DVD player, sigh.
Talking about global warming! The North Pole wouldn't stand a chance if that should ever be released! ;-)

omg, aren't you guys getting a little tired of all this adulation after so many years of it? Since Brokeback, ffs?

The guy is just a mere mortal, looks like a cute guy walking down the sidewalk, to me. Sure he was good in BBM; a couple of the movies he's been in since then were just snoozers. And PoP? well that was so juvenile I couldn't even bring myself to go see it....

And face it, ppl, he doesn't give a dam about his fans, you're all just expending all your energy on this worshiping nonsense with no return. And I know, I met him; I have the autographed Jack Twist calendar to prove it.

(well I guess you could call that return....)

he looks so relaxed and happy. I can only imagine what the paps were saying to him as he was walking down the street. I DO hope these med bldg visits are for a new project he is about to start.

I'd still like to know what the pink bracelet means. I know he was wearing Lance Armstrong's Live Strong yellow band for quite some time.

Getting on with something more important said...

"I'd still like to know what the pink bracelet means."

According to some gossip cites, its from Taylor S. Its their engagment bracelet.

"And face it, ppl, he doesn't give a dam about his fans, you're all just expending all your energy on this worshiping nonsense with no return."

You are correct, and I sincerely thank you. No joke. Over my Jake love. WDW , you do have a great blog and I am happy that you have met Jake in the past and I hope you and others get to meet him.

Being his fan is just so draining.

I was intrigued by Jake's statement to the effect that one should not let one's ego override consideration of what worked. Did the face pet work? Was Jake wearing it to satisfy the requirements of the Esquire shoot (he seems to shaved it off or at least trimmed it way back right after the shoot)?

My favorite showbiz quip of all time is something that Lorna Luft said about her half-sister Liza Minnelli: "This woman thinks she's in a movie!" I think of Lorna's quip whenever I see the pictures of Jake walking to or from the medical center. Jake usually has a smile on his face, and he must be thinking that he is *always* being filmed even when he isn't in an actual movie. The lines get blurred. But it's okay. He seems to be enjoying it.

Yes, I agree that the paps are doing a good job of filming Jake. At least they've never required him to grow a beard.... ;-)

I see that iPad and all I think of is Jonathan Ross! :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Q03RKacDjU

G'day Folks,

It's past beer-o-clock here on a Friday avo in Sydney, so time to lay down the arms and welcome the weekend! This week's been a bloody killer.
What a treat it is again to see these pic updates. WDW, I can't say it enough: LEGEND!

Hello Mac Daddy! (Or should that be Sweet Apple Pie?). The geek in me jumps for joy at the sight of "Jake with his iPad". Yes, I am that easy to please... You go you sexy Apple Fan-boy you. Here's looking at the sexiest geek on the planet. Wowsa! ;-)

I'm gonna grab me a cold Coopers and wish you all a very exciting and fun LAOD AFI premiere weekend! See y'all on the other side of Sunday! Take care.

Sweetpea, that bracelet he was wearing at the Q & A in New York (long before the TS). I do not know what it means, I think it's something personal (perhaps a gift from Ramona).
Or it may be something for luck. Do not know if it's pink or purple. In the Q & A it looked purple. Depends on light.
I remember at the premiere of Rendition he was with a ribbon for luck. I think it was purple. He said he is superstitious.

Good early Morning everyone!
I didn't have an electricity last night and I've missed such a lovely, funny post:) .
Our close future with Jake looks so promising, full of different events. I'm very excited. I missed all that before POP, because my adventure with Jake started after the movie. Of course, I watched everything later, but it's not the same. I like this exciting waiting.
I can imagine how happy are Medical Centre female workers. Two Jake's visits in such a short time. I would gladly test his blood pressure myself. I wonder, who would have higher one?
So we may expect special report, that's great! WDW - you know right people in the right places. I guess I wrote it before :) .
The white shirt pics are cool!

Monica said...

Anon 01:22, why don't you get something more important than wasting you time coming here in a fan site just to talk nonsense? People do what they want and will not be a loser who will change the minds and the way of some fans.
hahahahahahah Your live must be very bad!hahahahahahahahaha

mermon said...

This clip Monica has posted is so sweet! Oh, I have to watch it again. It's no comment about it. Didn't you see it yet?
Once again, after Monica:
Love and Other Drugs - "This is Nice"

This is so nice:)
I know, I will love that movie.

Hello WDW and everyone

Oh a premiere - and multiple trips to the medical center!

How exciting - and, Jake probably has a new project in the works.

Cheers

Tui

Morning all! I've just put up and Emergency post until I can do some proper research for all that's out there.

Thanks for all the clips - and thanks for the link to the LAOD video, Monica :D

Just wanna say to 1:22 and others like them, that I see no point at all in reading and commenting on a fansite for someone you don't like... And please don't feel that you have to convert us, ok? Seems like a waste of energy to me.

So great to see all the videos and photos! So exciting - I love these times. And it's fun thinking that it's the first time for the post-PoPpers! Enjoy it - it's a fantastic time.

Mermon, I hope your electricity is ok!

"I see no point at all in reading and commenting on a fansite for someone you don't like..."

whoa!!! where'd'j'ya get from? who says I don't like Jake? Would I have an autographed calendar of Jack Twist if I didn't like the actor? Would I have stood behind some velvet rope with all the rest of the fans for hours just to get said autograph, if I didn't like the actor and person Jake G?

ummm, maybe your reading and comprehension skills should be honed a bit?

Anon: I was an English major in college and my reading and comprehension skills are tip-top, sweetie. It is you who seems to be suffering from tourette's. You definitely bad-mouthed Jake and us as well for enjoying the celebration of his career. We understand that he will never be beholding to us, but that is because HE HAS A LIFE. And, we don't need his recognition! We are happy with what we do here and happy with what Jake does wherever. If you really are a fan of Jake, your negativity belies it. Your comments really were disrespectful and made me, at least, uncomfortable. Sorry, but it wasn't deserved. Amen.

paulh said...

Mermon, your comment about taking Jake's blood pressure made me laugh. :-) I bet a lot of people here would love to do that. Seriously, I'm guessing that Jake's blood pressure is on the low side, because: 1. he is still fairly young, 2. he is so thin, and 3. he gets so much exercise. he seems to be about the healthiest guy in Hollywood, and I hope that continues.

I think someone must have dissed Jake, given that a comment was deleted and someone anonymous was scolded. let me state my position: Jake has acted with some very talented, well-known people who don't put up with cr*p from anybody. Without exception, these actors have talked about what a talented professional Jake is. Jake is an actor, and he is the real thing. Watching movies is one of the great pleasures of my life, and I am certain that whenever I see one of Jake's movies, Jake will be surrounded with extremely talented people. If a movie doesn't become a hit, so what? *No one* knows whether a given movie will be a blockbuster or a flop. Just jump on and enjoy the ride. That's what makes life so interesting.

So, I visit this site because it's the movie industry in a microcosm, with Jake as one of the centers.:-)
