We Are Family
















When I saw this picture of Jake and Naomi on Perez Hilton, I started wondering when the last time was that Jake was photographed with Naomi. So I started searching IHJ. I found this pic from 6/15/07. There's another from 6/16, but this one's better. Compare the two pics. Naomi really is looking fab these days!
















So then I did a bit more digging. Here's the last pic I found of Jake with Stephen, from 5/27/07-

















And the last time he was seen with Maggie, 4/26/07-

















And, of course, the last time he was seen with Austin, 5/4/07-





Pics from Perez Hilton and IHJ.

I read that Naomi was trying to lose weight, looks like she has succeeded. yeah, she looks fab in that picture.

Think she's responsible for all of Jake's wool cardigans as well? :P

oh... never get enough of those Borders pictures.

New from Ted-

Smart Move?
A-listers Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn are reportedly getting along less than famously while filming their new comedy, Four Christmases. First, the Daily News blabbed the two babes were clashing over rehearsing and showing up to the set camera-ready. Apparently, Vince prefers to materialize as is and let the makeup and wardrobe peeps work their magic, while Reese darts in pic-perfect. Granted, Reese’s mug needs less work, let’s be fair here.Vince is also supposedly more into improv, we hear, while Reese-doll likes to repeatedly run lines and block scenes. Then the New York Post said Reese didn't like a semiraunchy sex scene in the flick and was "such a prude." What, is Reese crazy? She doesn't wanna just jump Vince's bloated bones and make out with his scruffy self? This woman has no taste, clearly. Well, the two feudin' castmates recently hit the Smart House in Venice, where celebs like Kate Hudson and Jessica Biel have come to check out their eco-friendly cars. It was a five-day shoot for the flick, and one on-set source said Vince was hangin' in the backyard area between takes during some of the test-drives. Guess the two boppin’ babes have smooched (not for the cameras) and made up. Reese sure has a way with that fake-nice stuff, fer sure.


I can't figure out Ted's updating schedule. He gave us two columns on Monday and now this one is posted super late. What gives?

Reese won the Female Movie Star award at the People's Choice Awards. Was she there? Was Jake?

People's Choice Awards Given Sans Ceremony

There was no red carpet, no backstage antics, and no need to prompt chatty stars to wrap up their acceptance speeches at this year's 34th annual People's Choice Awards.

Instead, after the ceremony was canceled due to the Writers Guild of America strike, the winners were announced in a taped special Tuesday night on CBS hosted by actress-singer Queen Latifah.

Great post and song! Nice to see pics of Jake with his family. I hope we'll get to see him with a certain book-store frequenting someone one of these days, too. :)

Blue Velvet said...

Great post, Wicked! It is nice to see Jake out with family again – makes me feel more hopeful about us seeing him out and about with some of the other “significant” people in his life. And Naomi does look good.

Didn’t get a chance to comment on Ted’s mailbag yesterday. I’m still laughing about him addressing the troll as Kathy Bates. He hit the nail on the head with that description. lol!

Happy Belated Birthday, Tom!

Special K said...

One thing about Jake is the great relationship he has with his family and close friends. They are his support and sounding board, it is wonderful to see him out with them again.

That was one of the puzzling things to the last few months. For someone who is almost always seen with family and very close friends and then to see him with no one was disconcerting. Naomi looks great and it is great that Jake and his mom enjoy hanging out together no matter what coast.

Hopefully we will get a picture of Jake and Austin again, and soon.

Thanks for all the hugs and good thoughts guys -- they are very much appreciated -- once more into the breech today -- wish me luck.

Wow, I didn't realize it had been that long since we'd seen Jake with family, and I don't think it is a coincidence that all of those pictures are from the same time-period. His family really did "disappear" around the same time Austin did.

I guess the lack of pictures means Stephen is no longer his dad and Maggie is no longer his sister.

Great song; you're forgiven Wicked, lol!

My thoughts are with you Spesh.

I have never been to a lesbian bar for more than 2 hours and not heard this song played.

Before doing this post, I did not realize that it's been longer since we've seen Jake with Maggie than since we've seen Jake with Austin.

Did anyone watch the People's Choice Awards? Were the stars even there to accept their awards or did Queen Latifah just read out the names of the winners? That sounds boring!

Ya think perhaps Jake sees his family (and Austin) more in NY these days? All the "maybe" sightings of Jake with Austin in NY ("skinny gent on a bicycle"), but we've never once seen a picture of them there.

What was Ted trying to imply with that little write-up about Reese and Vince?

Pie Chart: yes Reece is getting more PR exposure out of being with Jake. he comes off as moody, jealous,needy and demanding. shes the good mother/sex kitten/level-headed businesswoman.

Jake proposes again!

Anonymous said...

But, what's this? Could the hunky star of Bubbleboy be rushing down the isle in order to put the kibosh on the ex as soon as possible? NI says that Jake is scared that Ryan Phillippe will come back into Reese's life and steal her away from the Gyllenspoon house.
"Jake loves kids and would like to start a new life with Reese and have more children. He wants to move things along because he's fearful that Ryan will try and insinuate himself back into Reese's life," a source tells the magazine."

Is this complete fan fic or what? First off, Jake was in NYC on Christmas Eve but more important, the Ryan thing is completely ridiculous. He seemed completely uninterested in reconciling with Reese (remember how quickly he refuted the Page Six rumor of Ryan/Reese reuniting while Reese said nothing). He has clearly moved on with Abbie and if there's anyone he'll be marrying this year, it will probably be Abbie (who he's doing another movie with).

A totally idiotic story.

Wicked said...

Interesting story from New Zealand. It does leave out the fact that Ryan does not seem interested in the slightest in getting back together with Reese. And the fact that it really appears that Jake and Reese did not spend Christmas together.

They probably saw the coffee pictures of Reese with that ring on her right hand and wrote the story.

Not a good reason to marry someone. Might as well find yourself a surrogate if all you want is kids and not the woman.

According to the mag they got engaged on Christmas Eve so it doesn't really matter what's in that bag.

From WDWan article on the Golden Globe and the writers strike. Jake was to be a presenter but refused.

At the heart of the problem is star power. Not only did nominated actors refuse to cross picket lines to attend the ceremony, so did presenters such as Heroes star Hayden Panettiere, Jake Gyllenhaal, Hilary Swank and Ryan Reynolds.

Reese (looking like an angry gremlin) can be seen on the cover of Marie Claire's Feb issue.

I wonder if they booked this cover story thinking she would be in contention for awards run for her role in Rendition.

Otherwise she has no reason to be on a magazine cover. Certainly not Penelope which is more of a small indy movie. It won't get a wide release and then it will be on DVD before you know it. It's not a cover worthy project.

It will be interesting to see if she speaks of Jake or if publicists crawl into the room to ensure that no personal questions are asked.

Jake would never cross the WGA, because of his parents, mom is definitely a member of the WGA.

I not sure if his dad is a member both WGA and Director's Guild or just the DGA.

1. Jake keeps proposing.
2 Ryan's STILL begging for her to take him back.
3. Random polls keep naming her best liked, best dressed, best whatever.


AND PEOPLE STILL THINK THIS ISN'T HER PR TEAM AT WORK.

It's shocking to me.

Jake really needs to wake up and realize who and what he is dealing with. Reese is not what she seems to be. He may be completely snowed. She has fooled a lot of people. Either way (real or bearding) he will loose himself in this relationship. It will always be all about her.

Anonymous said...

tr ... I just hope his friends and family step in before its too late. Hopefully he has people close to him who care enough about him to make him get out before its too late. If we think he looks like a shadow of his rather glorious former self now, imagine what a year of being Mr Witherspoon would do to him.

I totally agree pie chart, cooper and tr. How many different times has Jake now supposedly proposed to Reese. And only the HW 10 percent crowd would think that the image of Jake created by all of this is preferable to being gay. Wake up Jake!

Is Abbie aware that Ryan is pining every minute to reunite with Reese?

I wonder what the tabloids are going to say when Ryan actually marries Abbie. Probably that he did it after being spurned by Reese again and to show her, he married Abbie.

Anonymous said...

Always feel like it's Reese's PR team working overtime, it's always in her favour. if there's ever any money exchanged, it should be Reese's team paying Jake's team.

But fake proposal report is good sign, it's one step closer to the end. they have already laid down many good foundations for them to have a civilised break-up, just pick one. And then it will be reported that they are to remain close friends. And apparently Jake will still cares for Reese, because she's just so "likable" and because you know... it's in the agreement.

on a bright side: after pining for reece, no other woman will be able to take her place so he will spend his time with his best friend ausitn, finding after 30 years of together they love each other and will get married like everyone else is doing.

Obviously Reese is where the money is when its comes to 360's interest. Reese certainly has got the better of the deal here. Jake may have lost many of those in his unique fan base for now but I think he can win them back in the blink of one of those baby blues.

I will say it again the SNL maroon 5 video showed me Jakey is busy at work right now but not completely gone.

I think the proposal story has been regurgitated to counter Ted C's statements that Jake is going to dump her. She has to be the dumper, not the dumpee. Wasn't it established that Jake was seen in NY on Xmas eve and not with her Xmas day either. I can't recall the time-line but have this in my head.

What happended to the $3000 necklace Xmas gift story? Actually I liked that story since the $3000 gift would imply friend. You dont buy a lover who makes $20 mil a picture a $3,000 item. $30,000 would be more like it.

Anonymous said...

Reese's production company lost their deal with Universal and wound up at New Line.

The budget cuts at Type A will be pretty significant because NL is very cheap. Reese doesn't pay peoples' salaries, office rent and purchase scripts with her own money. Universal was footing the bill for all of that.

Interesting.

How I know BWR wrote this story:

Emphasis on: Reese's talent, Reese's conservative common sense and good values, Jake's undying love, the wonderful support of her friends, the fact that she ended her *8* year marriage. (Does the year you are legally separated count? Does the year you lived separately but hid it from the public count?)

Here is the story:

Hollywood movie stars Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal are heading for the altar, according to published reports. Friends claim Gyllenhaal proposed to Witherspoon during the couple's cozy vacation in Rome last October. Talented Witherspoon said "not yet," so soon after her split from ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, but reportedly has since said "yes," after consulting with very close friends. A pal says, "Not only were her friends crazy about Jake, they could see he was absolutely nuts about her. But you've got to understand, Reese is a one-man woman who hates playing the field. "When Jake proposed in Rome, he knew Reese needed time, and didn't really expect her to say 'yes' right away. He just wanted her to know that he was serious about their relationship and serious enough to make her his wife."Witherspoon ended her eight-year marriage to sexy star Phillippe with a divorce on October 5 of last year.

Well at least Reese gets to see her friends.

Seriously, if Jake is written up as a needy, whiny half man he can just suck it up because he put himself in this position.

From the mag quoted further up in the thread "Jake loves kids and would like to start a new life with Reese and have more children."

Um, is this an admission of baby tile cause I didn't even know he had any children?

Honestly, the only thing that offends me in any of these articles is when they talk about Jake and the kids and make it sound like he's actually their father.
Jake bought the kids the one thing they really wanted for Christmas. Jake is so wonderful with the kids. Jake took them trick or treating. Jake is father of the year.

Here's a clue. Jake is not actually a father and all the enthusiasm in the world, a niece, a goddaughter etc does not change the fact that Jake has not yet had to raise a child, nor actually been tested by one. Even in a real relationship, he would not yet be involved in making decisions about the kids' lives.

But these kids have a father who is active in their life and by all accounts he is a good father.
So that's the only part that offends me.

sure he isn't the father but he is certainly good for them

anyways it's pretty clear he wants his own family. i can't blame him for that

The break-up of a marriage is not good for kids, nor is the emergence of a step-dady. Reese isn't Britney but as someone said "rebound marriage". Far too fast. What's the big rush?
