Thanksgiving Day

"Are you going on Thanksgiving Day
To those family celebrations?
Passing on knowledge down through the years
At the gathering of generations

Every year it's the same routine
All over, all over
Come on over, it's Thanksgiving Day

Papa looks over at the small gathering
Remembering days gone by
Smiles at the children as he watches them play
And wishes his wife was still by his side

She would always cook dinner on Thanksgiving Day
It's all over, it's all over
It's all over the American way
But sometimes the children are so far away

And in a dark apartment on the wrong side of town
A lonely spinster prays
For a handsome lover and a passionate embrace
And kisses all over, all over
All over her American face

It's all over, it's all over, it's all over

'Cause today she feels so far away
From the friends in her hometown
So she runs for the Greyhound
She'll spend hours on the bus but she'll reach town
For Thanksgiving Day

Come on over, come on over
Come on over, it's Thanksgiving Day

At a truck stop a man sits alone at the bar
Estranged in isolation
It's been a while now and he seems so far
From those distant celebrations

He thinks back to all the mistakes that he made
To a time when he was so young and green
Innocent days when they both looked forward to that
Great American dream

Now it's all over, it's all over, all over
And all over America people are going home
On Thanksgiving Day

Now Papa looks out of the window
The sight brings a smile to his face
He sees all his children coming back home
Together on this special day

Come on over, come on over
Come on over, it's Thanksgiving Day"
"THANKSGIVING DAY" song by Ray Davies.

Lakers, Clippers & Jake

How can anybody, including the players, concentrate on a basketball match if Jake is sitting in the audience (at Austin Nichols' side) with THAT FACE??

Dubious Romances

"Orlando Bloom has found new love in the arms of Marie Antoinette star Kirsten Dunst. The couple have been seeing each other for more than a month after becoming "close" on the set of Elizabethtown, released last year.

It had taken more than a year for the romance to develop as Orlando, 29, was still dating Superman star Kate Bosworth, 23, and Kirsten was in an on/off relationship with Jake Gyllenhaal.

They became good friends on the set of the film, made in Kentucky, but at the time Kirsten, 24, denied any romance, saying: "If you're alluding to whether Orlando and I got together then that's a no. No."

But last week they were spotted all over each other in Los Angeles hotel Chateau Marmont. We're told: "Kate [Kirsten?] and Orlando are definitely more than just good friends now.

"They were kissing and cuddling in the corner of the lobby bar and didn't seem to care who saw them. They even stayed past closing time because they were enjoying each other's company." [...]

Orlando and Kate broke up in September after a rather tempestuous four years. A close pal of Orlando tells us: "Kirsten reminds him of what Kate used to look like before her dramatic weight loss.

"It was so much fun for him to be with her because she seemed carefree and not obsessed about fattening foods. Kirsten can also let her hair down a bit and isn't worried about being the most fashionable girl in the room.

Orlando likes that she can look a bit dishevelled, he thinks it's sexy. Kate would never go out unless she looked perfectly coiffed and that got a bit tiring." Source: Dailymail.co.uk


On the other hand, we have the short video titled "Reese and Jake flirt on 'Rendition' set" and another new rumour about Jake, this time in the picture above he's leaving Madeo's Restaurant in Beverley Hills 12th November, supposedly on a date with Argentinian actress Mia Maestro. Jake brought Mia to his favorite restaurant, Madeo's in Beverly Hills, on November 12th, reports In Touch Weekly in their new issue.

"He's a regular here, but he never brings a date", reveals one surprised waiter at the Italian eatery. Jake allegedly "gazed deeply into the eyes of his companion", who has appeared in 'The Motorcycle Diaries', 'Poseidon' and was a regular on 'Alias'.

"He didn't pay much attention to his food," adds the waiter. A rep for Mia, 28, would only say, "Mia and Jake are friends, they're in the same social circle." Source: Daily Blabber
In my opinion, this story doesn't hold well because actress Mia Maestro has a long-term boyfriend, actor and director Ned Benson.

Kirsten and Scarlett

"Hollywood actress SCARLETT JOHANSSON is looking for love and has reportedly asked to be set up with newly single star JAKE GYLLENHAAL.

The LOST IN TRANSLATION star has met Gyllenhaal a few times, and friends say that the pair are perfectly matched.

Now she has asked her representatives to organise her a date with the actor - who recently ended his long-term relationship with actress KIRSTEN DUNST.

A pal says, "He's a little younger than her usual type, but they really clicked.

"They both grew up in dynamic and creative families and Jake has an old head on young shoulders, just like her."

Johansson, who is rumoured to have had a fling with BENICIO DEL TORO at last year's Oscars, makes no secret of the fact that she is looking for love.

She recently said, "I'm a girl in the prime of my life and I'd like to celebrate that with someone.

"The thing is, I'd definitely like to be in a relationship with the right person. That's why I'm looking." Source: Contactmusic.com

I know these are 2 years ago news, but I wondered if a relationship between the sexiest chick in Hollywood and Jake would have worked out or not.
