Jake's leading lady who came back for more

After all the excitement of the last few days, tonight's post is intended as a brief diversion and includes one of my favourite pictures of Jake with a leading lady. Here we have Jake Gyllenhaal with a rapturous Catherine Keener, who has of course been doubly fortunate and has been Jake's co-star not once (Lovely & Amazing), but twice (Nailed).


This connects to an interview Jake did for Australian magazine Cleo's charmingly entitled 'Spunk of the Month' feature, in advance of the release of The Good Girl and Moonlight Mile. While we learn that Jake had made out (in a movie sense...) with Brad Pitt's then wife (Jennifer Aniston) and Brad's friend (Catherine Keener), we also read:


'My sister Maggie's an actor, too, and we have a little brother, but we chopped his legs off and threw him in the closet - otherwise there would have been too much competition.' And if Jake ever should be searching for that 'wonderful, smart, probably non-American girl' ('Just kidding.'), can I make a suggestion?


Totally off topic, but today I walked through the streets of London's West End and Soho, illuminated by some spectacular Christmas lights and decorations. I loved the giant, fluffy snowmen floating and bobbing over Carnaby Street and wanted to post a picture or two. I hope Jake's managed to find some time as PoP finishes to check out the atmospheric shopping streets of London.
