End of Watch, a big home movie? Get the look and have you voted for Jake Gyllenhaal yet?

Anna Kendrick has been speaking to PoPSugar about the delights of working with Jake Gyllenhaal on End of Watch. Regrettably, she didn't tell them how tall Jake is. Nevertheless, it's all good:

"[It's been] great! He is one of the most open actors I've ever worked with. The whole set was crazy, since we were basically shooting it as though it was home movies. We didn't stop shooting it; there was hardly a second between takes where somebody didn't pick up one of the hand-held cameras. We just start shooting each other, which was a completely new experience for me but really exciting."

I have an image in my head of a line of cameramen sitting to one side, having a snooze with their feet up.

Get the look

Over the last few days, Jake has been getting some/even more attention for his look. As is the way with trendsetters, Jake's hair may be growing again but, according to Esquire, his buzzcut is The Look (but only if you have a nice looking head). Apparently, you should ask for 'Number One on the sides, Number Two up top'. Doesn't that make it a Number Three?

Meanwhile, SFGate has been handing out its 8 Get Sexy Styling Tips for Guys and there at Number 1 is Jake Gyllenhaal with his dark jeans.

Have you voted yet?


A friendly reminder that if you haven't voted for Jake yet as best scifi actor in the SCREAM awards, please get to it. And if you have, why not do it again...? Here is the link.

Jake Gyllenhaal's hair continues to grow, thanks to his sushi diet - and VOTE for Jake!

Jake Gyllenhaal was seen at a second sushi restaurant in as many days yesterday, this time Murakami Sushi Restaurant in Hollywood. Clearly, the diet is good for him. Is that the beginnings of a coat of hair I see upon his head? Please note how I'm not mentioning how hot the white shirt looks. Many thanks to IHJ for the lovely new pics, which also remind me it's time for tea.

A reminder - VOTE FOR JAKE!

Jake is up for a SCREAM for Best Science Fiction Actor for his role in Source Code. So drop what you're doing and do just what director Duncan Jones tells you to do - Vote for Jake!

Matt Damon's appreciation for Jake Gyllenhaal's 'beautiful round head' and Vote For Jake!

Back in July we reflected on Jake Gyllenhaal's continued status as a trendsetter - this time setting the trend for bald heads, a look swiftly followed by Matt Damon (and almost attempted by The Pale One). Although there is a good chance that Jake's head will soon be getting its winter coat of hair, Matt has taken a moment to speak to People of his appreciation for Jake's head.

"Wow, I try not to envy, but I have to say Jake's got a damn good-looking head," Damon, 40, told PEOPLE at Wednesday's New York premiere of his new movie about a killer virus, Contagion. "He sure does have a beautiful round head." "Normally you say, 'That's a beautiful head of hair, but that's a beautiful head he's got,' " Damon says laughing. "Gyllenhaal definitely gets the blue ribbon for the best bald head over me." 

Plea to Jake: Please do not let this praise go to your head. Put away your shaver! As you can see from these photos, taken on 6 September as Jake leaves Nishimura Restaurant with Busy Philipps, the head does seem a little less bald. A good smile too.

Incidentally, as we all know, Busy and Jake are both godparents to Matilda Ledger and I wouldn't want today to pass without wishing happy birthday to Matilda's beautiful mum, Michelle Williams.

Vote for Jake!

You know it makes sense.

I go away and what happens? Jake Gyllenhaal shaves his head. The End of Watch photoshoot...

Dear oh dear oh dear oh dear... I go away for two days and look what happens! Jake Gyllenhaal decides to go and shave his head. This is what happens when you follow an actor - you leave him unattended for just a few hours and who knows what might happen. Jake and Michael Pena were photographed in LA yesterday for a photoshoot for new movie End of Watch. While some may be glad to see the police uniform and the return of The Swoff (as barbers across the continents now call this particular 'haircut'), I was more concerned about whether Jake had suntan lotion on his noggin.






I'm glad to see that Jake managed to get the Big Gun off Michael during the shoot. Michael kept his hair, the least he could do is grant Jake the Big Gun.


Does my bum look big in this?


I must wipe my eye and catch a tear as I remember Sasquatch Jake...

And finally...

I have returned from the Isle of Wight a fine shade of cranberry sauce, a reliable indicator of the spectacular sunshine. A proper Interlude will follow once I have un-numbed myself from two days on the back of a Triumph that makes sure you appreciate every single bump in the very bumpy roads. In the meantime, this is a photo from our pre-breakfast walk this morning.


I must end by saying two things: 1) never ever ever EVER eat dogfish, ever and 2) Jake, may this be the last time you shave your head and scare your mother.

Many thanks to IHJ for the pics!
