The Pointy Theory

All sorts of rumours are circulating at the moment as to which lucky lady is the current (and probably brief) object of Jake Gyllenhaal's affections.
He has been seen out on a few occasions with Rashida Jones, doing nothing more incriminating than eating lunch, but the sharing of food must obviously mean, to the media at least, wedding bells are not far away.

He's also been seen getting a little up close and cuddly with Anna Kendrick, star of Twilight, Up in the Air, and Jakes co-star in the upcoming End of Watch. She's gushed about him quite publicly, does this mean their relationship is more than just professional?

I haven't the foggiest who he's dating at the moment, but I have started to wonder about all of his possible conquests, past and present. They're all very pointy. Nothing against them personally, i'm sure they're lovely, but they are share this characteristic. The two mentioned above, quite pointy.

Reese Witherspoon, his long term love, definitely pointy.

The thankfully shortlived Taylor Swift affair, pointy.

The lovely Natalie Portman, a little pointy.

The only one who isn't really, is Jenny Lewis, who is still my favourite of all and i'm glad they're still friends if nothing else.

I'm trying to dredge my memory for all the others who were real or possible Gyllenhaal girlfriends...oh yes, how could I forget, Kirsten Dunst. Well, I probably forgot because I do my best to block her out of my mind.

Before I start getting too mean, and I don't mean to be, to any of them, well, except Kirsten, i'm going to stop here, and start trying to guess who will be next in the pointy parade...Carey Mulligan perhaps? Oh wait, that's already been rumoured...who is your guess?

And My New Favourite Celeb Couple Is...

Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux.

I blogged about their relationship rumours a few weeks ago, and it seems now things are official between the Wanderlust stars. Jennifer is obviously a fan of the beard in a big way, being spotted wearing a matching gold ring to the one Theroux sports, on her wedding finger of all places.

Now, Aniston has dated (and married) a fair few gorgeous men in her time

Brad Pitt

Gerard Butler

Bradley Cooper

Jake Gyllenhaal (although never completely confirmed, I'd like to believe it's true)

to name but a few. I refuse to add John Mayer to that list, because I think he was neither gorgeous nor a catch. I'm hoping however that Mr Theroux is different. His cousin is the ever lovely and entertaining Louis Theoux, so that is hopefully a good indication of a promising personality.

Justin's cousin Louis

 And with a beard as impressive as his, I'm still sticking to the theory that there is no way he could be bad! Hopefully Jen has found a good one this time.



Jake Friday!

I couldn't possbly let another Friday pass without a Jake Gyllenhaal update. Thankfully, to help me along a little, he's been in the news quite alot recently. My favourite of it all must be his interview on Jimmy Kimmel though. For anyone who wasn't in love with him before, you will be after this. Doing these interviews are often, I imagine, a chore for many actors. They have to do it, as they have films to promote (Jake's being The Source Code, his new Sci-Fi Thriller), but I'm sure they'd much rather be somewhere else.
Gyllenhaal on the other hand, acts as if there's nowhere he'd rather be. Of course, the man has won a BAFTA, so it could all be an ac, but I'd like to think he was enjoying it.

Anyway, watch it, or at least part one, which I'll post at the end of this.
In other news, the gay rumours are back again, because he happens to have a good friend who is male, and a stylist. Just because he played a gay man on tv, doesn't make him one. And gay or not, really, what difference does it make, he's still beautiful.

Probably not helping the gay rumours much is his recent admission that he likes singing along to Whitney whilst playing a spot of tennis on the Wii, with I Will Always Love You, from The Bodyguard being his personal favourite. Now thats a sight I'd like to see!

Gyllenhaal's a Little Ruffled...

And with good reason too. At Friday nights world premiere of his new film Source Code, which also kicked off the film portion of SXSW, Jake was involved in a scuffle with an unidentified man, after he tried to take a picture of Jake...in the mens loo.
Jake threw him up against the wall, cops were called, and instead off Twitter being filled with reviews of the film, the focus was unfortunately more bathroom oriented.
Jake Day (as Friday's have officially become known in my office) will never be quite the same again.

Apparently, the film is worth seeing though, despite all that, so don't miss it when it opens.
