A signed charity bone


"Oprah Winfrey, Donald Trump, John Travolta and Jake Gyllenhaal are among 40 celebrities who have signed wooden "dog bones" for a charity auction benefiting the Mississippi Animal Rescue League.
The celeb-signed bones will be auctioned off Thursday at the organization's second annual Fur Ball event. Proceeds will go to constructing a new animal shelter, said Allison Nutt, a MARL board member and chairman of the Fur Ball event committee."

The Slacker Test

You Are 44% Slacker

You are a bit of a slacker - though you can pull it together and live a somewhat normal life.
If you're young, this is probably phase you'll outgrow. And if you're already grown up, you need to get off the couch a bit more!

Jimmy and Jakey













Well, the pictures talk by themselves, but I want to remark that my favourite film of James Dean is "East of Eden" (1955 by Elia Kazan), based on the John Steinbeck's novel. The most shocking scene is no doubt the confrontation of Cal (James Dean) with his father Adam Trask, the way Cal is rejected is a prodigious moment in cinema: “You're bad, through and through, bad,” and Cal replies: "You're right. I am bad. I knew that for a long time... It's true", but my prefered part of the movie is the conversation James Dean has with Abra (Julie Harris) on the "Ferris wheel", when Abra confides to Cal that she thinks she isn't good enough for Aron. Their intimate conversation leads to a kiss, but then she pulls back immediately:
"I love Aron, I do, really I do" hurting Cal deep down.
Their previous conversations are really memorable too. Julie Harris gave me a slight impression to Jena Malone's Gretchen, a frail woman, not buxom at all, who is flawed but is still romantic.

John Mayer connection


Lance Armstrong, John Mayer and Jake G.
 
YOUR BODY IS A WONDERLAND
"We got the afternoon
You got this room for two
One thing I've left to do
Discover me
Discovering you

One mile to every inch of
Your skin like porcelain
One pair of candy lips and
Your bubblegum tongue

And if you want love
We'll make it
Swim in a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be awhile

Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body is a wonderland

Something 'bout the way the hair falls in your face
I love the shape you take when crawling towards the pillowcase
You tell me where to go and
Though I might leave to find it
I'll never let your head hit the bed
Without my hand behind it

You want love?
We'll make it
Swim in a deep sea
Of blankets
Take all your big plans
And break 'em
This is bound to be awhile

Your body is a wonderland
Your body is a wonder (I'll use my hands)
Your body is a wonderland

Damn baby
You frustrate me
I know you're mine all mine all mine
But you look so good it hurts sometimes

Your body is a wonderland (I'll never speak again)
Your body is a wonderland (I'll use my hands)
Your body is a wonderland (I'll never speak again)
Your body is a wonderland (I'll use my hands)

I'm never speaking up again
Now there's no reason
I've got the kind of love in my hands
To last all season

Da da dup ba da da da" (by John Mayer)
possibly dedicated to our Jake? I'd add. Posted by Picasa

The Jealousy Test

Okay, weird people also feel waves and cramps of jealousy in their psyches from time to time. Specially girls are supposed to be more jealous towards another females, more beautiful or more successful. I guess all this is normal, while it doesn't end in a premeditated homicide against the fortunate biatch who managed to get slimmer or win a juicy contract withouth having studied half than us. Well, I took my test, and no big surprise, I'm not jealous at all... And no, I swear I haven't forced my answers this time. My female friends always commented me that maybe I didn't show serious jealousy because I didn't show any emotion either, but maybe they were wrong and jealous and I'm cooler, hehe. Well I would like you spend one minute to take this test and find out what kind of jealous girl/guy you are. Perhaps many fans who are thinking 24/7 in Jake cannot stomach some of his exs, as Kirsten, since she got more intimicy with the coveted male. I won't lie, before of my happy relationship with my future husband, I felt more mad, but frankly I don't think Jake and me would make a great couple, I cannot surf, I'm not a sports person, I don't like so much cyclist spandex and probably my English isn't good enough... I prefer Jake as an actor than Kirsten, but I realise that she has built a prolific career. I have never fully understood as many hysterical girls hating an actress when they would probably do exactly the same in many occasions, and judge her as a rival, when they are living in a society dominated by more dangerous rivals, so these women perpetuate a vicious circle of misogyny just because they want to fuck an inexplicably handsome man and cannot.

Not a Jealous Bone in Your Body

You're secure, trusting, and giving with friends and lovers
And while you may have been hurt before, you've bounced back
You're generally happy with your life - and no one's grass is greener than yours
One word of caution: some may see your lack of jealousy as indifference!

Dorky resemblances









"In Jake I believe I found that. He's a dork. That's what I love about him." and
“Maybe I'm a weird girl and I just needed a good freak to match me.“ -Kirsten Dunst quotes

Jakey and Jimmy











I really think Jake is like our James Dean in many aspects nowadays, and I think of Kirsten Dunst as the grunge version of Pier Angeli.
