One of the many aspects of doing WDW that I adore is when one of us here gets the chance to see, speak to or interact with Jake Gyllenhaal, the person who brought so many of us together from across the globe. Today friend and WDW reader Linda got to ask Jake her question on a CNN International video.
And it's a goodie. Linda asks Jake if he's anything at all like Jamie. You can see his response here. It's also lovely to see Linda from Mexico City in person! If you can't see the video below, try this link instead (thanks to Linda for sending it to me).
You would have to be in the Arctic, under an icecap in a wetsuit with walruses, not to have noticed US Weekly's new cover today. Not only does it introduce Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Swift as a couple with the hint of a spread of Thanksgiving pics, it also promises to reveal secrets of the Royal Wedding Stag Do.
However, more serious is the return of The Hat, reminding many of us, I'm sure, of Hatgate, Winter 2008/2009, when it was more likely that we would see Jake without clothes than without a Hat of some description..
When Jake Gyllenhaal presented Gwyneth Paltrow with her Elle Hollywood Women tribute award the other week he commented that her role in Ironman 2 as Pepper Potts is the 'best character with the stupidest name' since Yogi Bear and Alotta Fagina. I have to agree, Yogi is a ridiculous name for a bear. Thanks to Mermon for the heads up!
I appreciate Gwyneth's hand motions as she describes the hilarious and gorgeous Jake Gyllenhaal.
Love and Other Drugs heats up
It looks like the publicity for Love and Other Drugs is heating up. In addition to this week's press screenings, next week the press conferences begin. Thanks to Monica for the link.
Stand up to Cancer
This is about US sports so over to the experts: 'As millions of baseball fans tune in to watch the American League’s Texas Rangers and National League’s San Francisco Giants compete in the first game of the World Series on Wednesday, October 27th on FOX, MLB will once again bring the fight against cancer to the forefront and help raise funds for groundbreaking “translational” research designed to bring new therapies to patients quickly and save lives. During the seventh-inning stretch of Game One of the World Series, a moving PSA featuring Academy Award nominated actor, Jake Gyllenhaal will play on the jumbo screens for the crowd, as well as for millions at home watching FOX. Fans in the stadium will then be asked to stand in unison as sportscaster Joe Buck rallies the crowd — and the viewing audience — via an on-air call-to-action to “launch stars” in tribute to those diagnosed with cancer.'
And finally...
There are reports that Jake Gyllenhaal's fruit thing is not diminishing. This weekend, there are reports that Jake and Taylor headed to the woods for a bushel of apples. Is this a good time to point out that there's a veritable cornucopia of autumnal fruit around here, ripe for the picking?
Thanks to IHJ for keeping an eye on Jake and his apples.
