Jake Gyllenhaal as Jack Twist in "Brokeback Mountain" (2005)
Q: "Why do people keep insisting that Jake Gyllenhaal is gay? Is it because of Brokeback Mountain? Certain blogs out there label actors as "gay" as if they were talking about their eye color, but isn't the goal to keep everyone out of everybody else's bedroom, actor or no actor? I never understood how people can't see that labeling someone as gay (who isn't) even if you’re gay yourself is homophobic and harmful. Basically you're proving that there is something wrong with being gay by using it as a weapon. – Cassie, Austin, TX A: Fantasy wish-fulfillment aside, I’ve always thought it was lazy and simple-minded to label an actor “gay” just because he’s played a gay role. As I’ve said many times, if you want to know who’s gay and closeted in Hollywood, look to the actors who have never played a gay role.Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger in Brokeback Mountain (2005)
When it comes to Jake Gyllenhaal, it’s particularly annoying because I honestly believe the guy deserves a lot of credit for taking that role in Brokeback Mountain, especially since it involved him being on the “receiving end” in the tent scene. In 2005 America, for an up-and-coming lead male actor, this was a pretty big deal (and I’m completely serious about this).But yeah, all the gossiping and rumor-mongering about Jake just proves the most cynical people in Hollywood right: that American audiences are too stupid to separate an actor from the roles he plays. And from gay blogs, no less? Sheesh. Anna Paquin (who came out as bisexual on April 2010) shooting a Marie Claire advertisement in Easthampton
Still, I disagree with you a bit about the ultimate “goal” of the GLBT movement. Brokeback Mountain tent scene aside, being gay isn’t really about sex. There are two parts of being gay: the private part, which is what we do in our bedrooms (and kitchens and living rooms and hot tubs, if we’re lucky); and the public part, which is about relationships and rights. The only part that concerns heterosexuals is the second part". Source: www.afterelton.com

Dastan and Tamina prepare for their wedding, with Tamina unsure of this man who just entered her life and Dastan regretting that it is not the Tamina who helped him save the world. They are married, though, and Dastan tells Tamina the story of the dagger and how it came to him. Tamina believes the story, but is not certain what she should do about it. Eventually, she overhears Dastan telling Tus and Garsiv that marrying her was a mistake, but the two princes refuse to let him annul his marriage.

"Actor Jake Gyllenhaal was a guest on the U.K.'s Friday Night with Jonathon Ross program which features the latest celebrities, musicians and comedians.
Jake was challenged to a pickled onion eating contest with an audience member. In case you don't know what pickled onions are (like me), according to good ol' Wikipedia:
"Pickled onions are a popular pickled food consisting of onions pickled in a solution of vinegar and salt, often with other preservatives and flavourings. In the United Kingdom they are often eaten alongside fish and chips or as part of a Ploughman's lunch."
Who do you think won the contest, Jake or the audience member? Well watch here to find out".
Robert Pattinson sits down with Access’ Shaun Robinson to talk about his new movie, “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse”, but will he chop his famous coif? Also, why can’t Robert stop laughing as he recalls working with co-star Taylor Lautner?
Kristen Stewart tells Access’ Shaun Robinson how her character, Bella, comes of age in “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse”, but what steamy moment in the movie “freaked” her out?
Taylor Lautner chats with Access’ Shaun Robinson about his new film, “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse”, but what was the most difficult part of filming? Also, how does he stay in shape? Plus, is Taylor happy that “Breaking Dawn” will be two movies?
Kristen Stewart talks Twilight at the press conference for Eclipse. Sorry if I'm moving the camera around. Forgot my tripod!
11:05 a.m. Kristen Stewart says she drives a Toyota Tacoma and also, sometimes, a Mini-Cooper, "Though I feel a little too flashy in that."
11:05 a.m. "If I'm doing something that makes me happy and I'm not lying to anybody," Kristen says regarding what drives her. "I have a lot of ambitions, but for the next few years, I just want to be an actor. 11:06 a.m. Is the saga taking over her life? "This is a unique situation," she says, calling it "lucky" and a "serious indulgence." She says, "This is obviously the one role that has put me in this epic position, but it's just another movie," saying that "I really don't think about my career in terms of planning it out and what this does for me. This was just a part I really wanted to play and I was lucky to play it for a long time."
11:08 a.m. "What's cool is that things change," Kristen says, regarding the major choices that Bella makes in this movie. "As soon as she sees him in the first one, it's done. But it's hard for her to get to the point where everyone will accept that," she says of the Edward/Jacob choice.
11:10 a.m. "I just stand behind people who are stronger than me for the entire movie," Kristen says of the action responsibilities in this movie. She says that her hardest scene was the one where she got to kiss Jacob for the first time, but not for physical reasons. "It was a different Bella," she says, adding, "And I was nervous as hell about it." She calls The Kiss, "a mistake" that Bella makes.
11:12 a.m. As I tweeted last night, "Eclipse" features more close-ups than any previous movie. "I didn't do anything differently," Kristen insists, saying that working with somebody different on each movie has been cool, because it requires you to rethink the basic ideas, rather than just coasting along. "He meets Bella through me," Kristen says of working with David Slade and introducing him to the "Twilight" world.
11:13 a.m. Kristen admits she feels sad about losing things from the book, but she's relieved that "Breaking Dawn" is going to be two movies, meaning fewer cuts. She gushes, "I can't wait to see Renesme. I can't wait to have a kid and get married."
Kristen Stewart - Eclipse Press Conference Pt. 2
11:14 a.m. "All of the things that annoy me about her are things that I love about her," Kristen says, regarding her favorite and least favorite Bella traits. "My favorite thing about her is that she screws up and doesn't care," Kristen says.
11:15 a.m. "I knew everything from the word 'go'. I'm really mature that way," Kristen cracks when asked if she ever had a birds-and-the-bees conversation with her own father. It's always good when she makes jokes.
11:16 a.m. "Do I believe in marriage? Yeah, sure. Whatever you want to do," Kristen says.
11:17 a.m. "That scene is eternal and I have nothing really to do in it," Kristen says of her role in The Tent scene. She had to play "sleep." She adds, "I just remember it being really hot." She's referring to actual warmth, not to being in a tent between Taylor Lautner and Robert Pattinson, though...
11:19 a.m. Does Kristen rush into things head-on like Bella? Or does she think more. "I do what I feel and I really don't think about what it's going to do afterwards," she says of her work choices. "I'm kind of a control freak," she adds. So apparently she's a bit like Bella and then a bit not. 11:20 a.m. Are Edward and Jacob actually good romantic choices? "None of our characters are perfect. They are all so crazy and messed up and that's why they go so well together," she says. She admits that if she were a friend of Bella's, she might be warning Bella to watch out for both Jacob *and* Edward.
11:21 a.m. She's over-the-moon about doing "On the Road," which was a favorite book of hers. She starts a four-week Beatnik Boot Camp in July in preparation for shooting. She notes that a four-week preparation process is unheard of. She's noticeably excited for this one, which will be directed by Walter Salles.
11:23 a.m. "It's hard to take details of your personal life and apply them to a scene," Kristen says, asking if she can relate to certain scenes. She's referring specifically to The Tent scene, again. "I wish it wasn't as hot," she adds again. Once again, warmth.
11:23 a.m. Kristen suspects "Breaking Dawn" will be PG-13, but admits she has no idea.
11:24 a.m. "For somebody who hasn't [seen the other movies], I do feel like these movies sort of stand alone. There's a lot of backstory, so you don't need to see the other ones to see this," Kristen says. She promises it has "way more action." She also calls it "more dynamic."
11:25 a.m. The "Breaking Dawn" shoot is going to be six months, starting in October, Kristen says. She says she's known that it was going to be two movies "forever" and she admits it's been hard to keep that "secret." 11:26 a.m. Uh-oh. A personal question for Kristen about her relationship with Rob and speculation surrounding it. She has no answer and just says that speculation will probably continue.
11:27 a.m. "I really can't wait to get into that. I've been on the outskirts of what it would be like to play one of them," Kristen says, regarding getting to tap into her vampire side for "Breaking Dawn," adding, "She's going to be the coolest vampire of any of them." She looks forward to charting the full character change in Bella from the first movie through to the end of "Breaking Dawn."
Executive Director Susan Dyckman and Board President Clelia Biamonti welcome Jake Gyllenhaal to New Eyes for the Needy Monday, on 24th May 2010
"Actor Jake Gyllenhaal took time away from his busy schedule to visit New Eyes for the Needy on Monday, May 24 to meet with volunteers and staff. "Jake has been a great advocate for New Eyes for several years now", said Susan Dyckman, Executive Director of New Eyes for the Needy. "He has been instrumental to New Eyes’ fundraising through his help in gaining foundation grants - and with his celebrity, he has raised national awareness of New Eyes by promoting our cause in magazine profiles." Mr. Gyllenhaal’s connection to the Short Hills nonprofit goes back many years. "I’ve had really poor vision ever since I was a little kid - my mom first took me to the doctor because I was smacking into walls - and every time my prescription changed, we gave my old glasses to New Eyes" Mr. Gyllenhaal said to InStyle magazine last year. "So when I started looking for a cause that I had a strong visceral connection to, I thought of it and wanted to help bring awareness to its work." Mr. Gyllenhaal mingled with volunteer and staff members, speaking to all and thanking them for the important work they do. He pledged to further his commitment to help New Eyes. "Indeed," said Clelia Biamonti, Board President of New Eyes, "Jake has agreed to chair the newly formed Advisory Committee for New Eyes. We are lucky and happy to have Jake on our side- encouraging us and believing in the work we do!" Source: thealternativepress.com
