Dash of Spice ....

Jake loves to cook.

And anyone who loves to cook loves cookbooks. Not always to follow exactly but sometimes for inspiration and other times for reference.

“I have a massive section in my library at home of beautiful old cook books. I really have a strange obsession with them.”

Sounds like he uses them more for reference and finds inspiration at the farmers market.

“If I’m making a romantic dinner. I like to go to a farmers’ market first, buy things fresh and come up with my own dish based on whatever I’ve bought.”

You think it's rubbing off on Austin?

my perfect weekend. wake up early. yoga. followed by a healthy but delicious brunch. swim in the sea. lay in the sand. read a good book. 2:45 PM Aug 22nd, 2010

Speaking of Leadville

Jake showing off some leg and a what all the biking, squats and workouts did for those quads.Hmmm those calves look familiar.


Culinary FYI: One of the best collection of cookbooks and culinary history outside for the Library of Congress is The Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Harvard University.

Maybe friend and Harvard alum Natalie - could check out a book or two for Jake.

LOL, DListed says Jake is this generation's Audrey Hepburn, and has Jake photoshopped into a gown descending a staircase.

He also calls Sophia "that girl from Zero Stump Molehill" in a post about celebs linking themselves to the Tucson victims.

I agree, Destiny. Too, too funny!

Somewhere Jennifer Love Hewitt is biting off pieces of raw Crescent Roll dough while stroking the "This Generation's Audrey Hepburn: Jennifer Love Hewitt" certificate she made herself, because Jakey Gyllenhaal called Natalie Portman the true reincarnation of Audrey Hepburn. Or some mess like this. Jakey pursed his precious lips and said this at the Palm Springs International Film Festival this past weekend:


"Natalie is the Audrey Hepburn of our generation. She is elegant, graceful, has amazing eyebrows ... is talented, really short, funny, smart, dedicated, incredibly kind. She's a vegan, which makes it really frustrating when you're picking a place to eat. She's also recently announced that she's going to be a mom, and her child will probably need therapy after seeing Black Swan."

"Has amazing eyebrows...."? Jakey is a fellow eyebrow aficionado whose lash tips tingle at the sight of a perfectly executed arch? If Mah Boo doesn't devote an entire show to the history of the cholita brow, I'm going to rename my boyfriend pillow "Jakey." But back to the mess at hand....

Jakey needs to stop! Natalie Portman is not the Audrey Hepburn of our anything. Jake is more of a modern day Audrey than Natalie's ass is! Don't believe me? Picture Natalie gliding down a flight of stairs with chiffon blowing behind her the way she did in Funny Face. Now let's see Jakey do the same thing:


Jake as Audrey Hepburn

Comment from dlisted:

Jake, just sashay out of the closet already. Actually, that quote kind of outed you. "She has amazing eyebrows"...Not even my LA fashion school gays (I went to fashion school for one semester when I was 18) would have released a glittery quote of that caliber.

I wonder why his quote about her being Jewish is missing, he said it after incredibly kind said...

Jake and Co at the Farmers market

I know. Amazing eyebrows. lol. Who comments on ladies' eyebrows unless you're envious? Michael K killed me with this post.

Jake looking good at the Farmers Market!

blondes said...

Thats Busy Phillips and her husband (in cap) and some other dude and a brunette and it appears from the brief clip os with the other dude, I wonder who the other blonde is who looks a bit like Reese IMO

prairiegirl said...

She's pretty; I don't recognize her, though.

They all just look like acquaintances/friends hanging out, though.

Wow just checking out The Envelope. Natalie Portman is now a heavy favorite to win the Oscar. From everyone one I have talked to that has seen the movie I have heard nothing but outstabnding.

Music Lover said...

Loving Jake's quads! :)

prairiegirl said...

I think Jake's got the best looking thighs for a guy in Hollywood, bar none.

prairiegirl said...

Oh boy. I just need to delete this from my DVR, let me hit the button and Erase. Are you sure you want to Erase Sophia Bush on Chelsea? Oh yes. Definitely. Without question.

What a bunch of slop. Soooooeeeeeyyyy!! Here ya go!! Have some of this!!!!

prairiegirl said...

Liar, liar, hot pants on fire, Soap

There she was again, going on about Austin chasing her behind all over the country, pursuing her allllll these years (notice how this time it wasn't pinpointed to an exact number, just a very vague "alot of years" or "number of years") until finally he just threw everything down, packed everything up, and by golly, he would not be denied, he had to have his Soap, and he wormed his way onto OTH and then would not take no for an answer.

Oh, and then love the awkward laugh ol' Soap gave when Chelsea said she knew what Soapy was doing on her weekends now.

Chelsea, ain't nothin' goin' on because the man is gay and prefers the rod. And the man is committed to Jake Gyllenhaal and the man is a DAD!!!

Boy, I would feel like such a fool if I were her after an appearance like that. Acting like there was nookie going on every weekend in North Carolina. lol.

Phew, gotta hit the hay after that feeding. That was just too much.

the real m said...

Wasn't Sophia married and then lived with one of the fellow cast members for 2 or 3 years after that. Busy girl. I find it hilarious how they feel free to rewrite history. Just like all these women Jake supposedly dated just because he was in the room with them long enough to be photographed beside them. As we've discussed before, lies don't stay hidden given the internet. Catching a star in a lie just makes them look silly. And Jake continues to feel the backlash.

Just tooling around to various general sites, there seem to be a lot of Golden Globe parties going on, but I have not seen Jake's name mentioned at any of them yet. Maybe later this week.

ted said...

Sophia Bush was also sans her usual plus one Austin Nichols at the bash, perhaps because of all the men she was spotted with the night before...

The One Tree Hill babe was seen dancing the night away at Cherry Pop, only the gayest most fabulous dance club in West Hollywood.

We're told Bush "looked amazing" and happily danced with all of her fans that went up to her.

Also at the gay club was...

Kate Walsh letting lose to tunes by Lady Gaga and Britney Spears. What else would you expect?

Elsewhere in bubbly California...

Awful Truth

Ted said...

Truth, Lies & Ted: Is Robert Pattinson Drowning His Sorrows Too Much?

prairiegirl said...

Sophia's cramming as much part-taying and red-carpeting in L.A. as she can before she has to go back to quiet Wilmy and resume the fake relationship with Austin.

BTW, JJ had a post on ol Soap re: her clubbing at the Cherry Pop and she was ripped a new one in a lot of the comments. She was ripped a new one because of her tweeting about how she needed a girls night out after the day she had (learning about losing her second cousin in the Arizona tragedy) and seen clubbing that same night.

Not in good taste. Now she's hitting red carpets.

The end of March cannot come soon enough.

prairiegirl said...

Snow, snow, snow. We got it pretty good here. Sounds like Atlanta was a real mess. Hoping Clarity is hanging in there through all of that!

We don't usually get big snows. Kansas can get lots of little snows or ice. But not so much big snows. Tom, I think some of that southeast storm is supposed to be heading in your direction.

Austin tweeted the snow. It looked like they were supposed to get alot of mess like rain/sleet/freezing rain there where he's at. That's not fun. I'd rather have snow or actually, nothing at all. Just dry pavement.

prairiegirl said...

This article makes me wonder if Jake brought the fam with him to L.A. This is a "spy" from website Hollywood Life.

Even though his romance with Taylor Swift was short-lived, Jake Gyllenhaal was noticeably alone at the Palm Springs Film Festival Awards Gala. Behind his big grin and funny jokes, Jake seemed distracted and lonely.

The 30-year-old actor attended the festival’s black tie gala and presented the Desert Palm Achievement Actress Award to his long time friend, previous co-star and one-time girlfriend, Natalie Portman. The first thing I noticed as Jake sped down the red carpet (flanked by his publicist), was his excessive facial hair. Throughout the last couple months, he’s sported a scruffy little beard, but this one took it to a whole new level. He looks like a mountain man!

During the meal, Jake sat next to Natalie, her fiance, Benjamin, and their publicist the entire time. When Natalie was away from their table, Jake gabbed with her hubby-to-be, rather than chatting with any of the many attractive girls at the event. Not only that, but he barely touched his three course meal — and let me tell you, it was delicious (plus, Carey Mulligan scarfed hers down!).

Throughout the evening, Jake seemed like he couldn’t finish up with his duties quickly enough. He was one of the first people to arrive at the official after party at the Parker hotel, where he joked around with Mark Wahlberg in the lobby before getting accosted by hoards of harmless lady fans. Consequently, he quietly slipped out before the majority of guests even made it to the party.

I can’t help but wonder if Jake misses 21-year-old Taylor Swift. Although he reportedly called it quits after only two months, both of them always seemed so entertained by one another in their photos together. At the festival, Jake seemed anything but entertained or carefree, leading me to think maybe HE’S the one who wants to go “back to December.”


Misses Taylor. LOL. Oh man.

Very interesting account, though.

prairiegirl said...

I might mention that the account was from someone named Kirstin Benson.

destiny said...

LOL, misses Swifty. But interesting observations, does sound like depression.

I didn't know Soapy was on Handler, missed the whole thing, lucky me from the sound of it.

Interesting bit from Ted, wonder if he is trying to imply anything about Sophia. For anyone who may not know, Kate Walsh is heavily rumored to be gay, and believed to be the answer to a blind item about a TV star who wanted to come out after all the bullying stories but got talked into staying into the closet.

crap said...

Oh boy, Sophia tweeted about being at that place and Ted just used that tweet as a "sighting", LOL!!!

Ohh, and implying that she may be gay like you destiny? It almost sounds like there is something wrong with being gay, like it's some dirty secret that needs to be spun into a BV.

I remember the Jaustiloons sending Ted BI's that suggested that Reese liked women when she was with Jake, now that she isn't all that just disappeared!

If Taylor was still in the picture, the same would be done with her.

There is noting wring with being gay Destiny. I laways wondered if you are actually BI or it was just BS or if you have some issues.

Anyway i'm sure you can prompt Ted to make up something about Sophia because you know that anyone that has been openely gay-friendly and supportive for years must be a in the closet!

Ted said...

Dear Ted:
I am beginning to think that Jake Gyllenhaal's PR team is pretty smart! If Taylor Swift does indeed write a song about him, people will be talking about that short-lived relationship for years to come! That would tend to reduce any rumors about his sexuality. Honestly, I think that is why John Mayer got involved with her, too. You know he couldn't wait to hear people gossiping about his song!
--kschesney

Dear Foxy:
I was with ya till the John Mayer thing. That dude befriended Swift for only one reason: He's a total slut-bag, regardless how far (or not) he got with Taylor. And yes, Jake's team is on a par with Tom Cruise's team—the one before couch-gate, that is.

Dear Ted:
It's been a while since you have mentioned Shafterella Shoshstein. I was wondering if she is still seeing the ladies, and if so, does her significant other know or care?
—Eve, N

Dear Bye-Bye Bi:
No, she's not. She's doing the straight thing right now, but yes, he so knows all about Shafty's time with the chicks. He's pathetically titillated by it, just like Brad.

Bitch Back

destiny said...

Actually the only thing I think Ted is implying about Soapy is that she'd rather hang with gay boys than have a real relationship of her own. Sounds like she likes all the attention she gets when she goes to a place like that.

Maybe she can get a job on Girls Who Like Boys Who Like Boys when OTH ends.

crap said...

I was right!!! You fangirls are so predictible and so is Ted. So magically she isn't into chicks anymore. How much you wanna bet if she was still with Jake, she would be still doing chicks!

crap said...

11:45: I place like that? A place like what? You sound disgusted. Do your straight friends go toplaces like that with you for attention? You are some piece of work Destiny.

Maybe you should get a job on that show Destiny, you know where gay men are treated like animals in a petting zoo.

BTW: Austin had to leave L.A. to go back to NC to prep for his directing gig for that crap show he is on that you hate.

destiny said...

Sophia has done more damage for gay rights by pretending to date a gay boy than she has done any good with her support for gay rights. She and Austin are telling all those gullible fangirls who believe them that straight is the only way.

Only a person who is ashamed of who they are beards when they are old enough and have the means to support themselves.

All those pathetic bearding HW actors don't get a pass just because they work in HW and not in the "real" world.

They are all part of the problem, and I find the behavior particularly disgusting coming from people who should know better.

Special K said...

It sounds like Jake wanted to get back home as soon as he could from Palm Springs. Reading it it sounded familiar - how so? Like a lot parents who want to get back home to their families. Yes Austin had gone to NC, but it sounds like the rest of family was in LA.

Jake kind of disinterested in the events - well he knows what means more to him than an after party -his family.

CAA said...

SK you should take over as Jake's PR. No-one spins like you can.
