Chelsea Clinton did of course interview Jake (from Oxford) back in 2003 for Interview magazine. There are snippets from that in this post. She also attended the NYC premiere of The Day After Tomorrow. And so, Jake may be polishing his suit as we speak (or I'll be talking about the rumours again this time next year).
Meanwhile, of course, Jake has other things to be getting along with on MV, and towards the end of last week, he was seen 'picking up some lobsters and checking out the lobster salesladies at the West Tisbury Farmers’ Market'. This not only suggests that Jake is braver by far than me in the kitchen, it also gives me the perfect opportunity to repost a much-loved lobster picture.
Ready to Try
New movie news may be thin on the ground at the moment as the holidays continue, but there was some information about a song for Love and Other Drugs. Apparently Ed Zwick, the director, selected the song 'Ready to Try', by Brit songwriter Mirella Castellano and Rob Persaud of Roxstone Music. Love and Other Drugs is set in the 90s and so a selection of new music mixed with sounds from the time would be great.
A sword
We've had lego, figurines, popup books, t-shirts, Halloween costumes, all manner of Prince of Persia momentos. Now you can go one better and actually own a replica of Prince Dastan's sword, all 31 inches of it. At this rate, we'll be getting life-sized stuffed ostriches to fill our living rooms.
A safety pin
This post is illustrated with new old pictures from IHJ, including photos of the old black sweater with a pocket held on by a safety pin. Fortunately, Jake's now successful enough that he can buy more sweaters and a lot more safety pins. It's always been a very popular trait of Jake's, though: how he hangs on to his favourite old clothes. Either that, or the safety pin was a very expensive fashion accessory.
Includes pictures from links and many thanks to IHJ for the old new pictures (always fun to see Jake with Macauley Culkin - at the Club Lotus in 2002).
