Eccentric Jake and Reese

Who, aside Jake, would celebrate his birthday riding his bike on Munholland Dr, a step of becoming the "Livestrong Yellow Man"?

Equally eccentric, Reese has gone through hard times in her marriage split, but she forgot to change her "patucos" for one pair of stylizing peep-toes.

HAPPY 26TH BIRTHDAY, JAKE!

"Candles are a gift of light,
A tiny sun, a bit of star.
No other dancer in the night
Dances with such sheer delight,
Little souls serene and bright,
Each a glimpse of what we are
Shining innocent and pure." poem by Teilman Susato

Golden Globe for Maggie?

"I know a lot of people who were nominated. I wrote to Penelope (Cruz) and told her I was gonna kick her ass!" Maggie Gyllenhaal joked. "I don't know Judi Dench, but I'd like to." After a wrenching performance as a drug addict in "Sherrybaby,"

the best actress drama nominee feels that the accolade comes near the end of a long road she has taken with the film. "It's such a teeny, tiny movie, and it felt like I worked so hard to get it made, distributed and seen that it means so much," she said.

Brother Jake heard the news and rushed to her home in Los Angeles, where she is staying while fiance Peter Sarsgaard is out working. The news comes at a time when Gyllenhaal has her hands full. "I have a new baby, I'm nursing, answering the phone and trying to put on makeup for TV interviews, wondering if I can nurse her before I get down the hill," she said in mock exasperation. "My brother is trying to get me to eat."

Kirsten not preggers

Washington, Dec 8 (ANI):

"Hollywood star Kirsten Dunst has laughed off rumors that she is pregnant.

The Spiderman star left Hollywood watchers speculating about her impending motherhood after she was not only spotted wearing baggy clothing and ordering big boxes of sweet chocolaty treats, but also overheard complaining of lower back pain and nausea during filming of ‘Spiderman 3’.

Adding fuel to the fire was also Dunst’s reported interest in actor Toby Maguire’s newborn daughter, as well her curiosity about how Maguire’s fiancée, Jennifer Meyer, dealt with morning sickness.

However, her spokesman was adamant that Dunst was not expecting her first child. "Kirsten is not pregnant," ContactMusic quoted her, as saying.

The actress had been linked with actor Andy Sandberg earlier this year, and reportedly dating Orlando Bloom from October

after her split up with her long time boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal.

Dunst will soon be seen on the big screen when she reprises her role as Mary Jane Watson opposite co-star Toby Maguire in ‘Spiderman 3’. Source: News.sawf.org
