Reese Witherspoon has reportedly refused to move in with her partner Jake Gyllenhaal.
The actress will not live with Gyllenhaal until they are married, according to Now magazine.
Actor Jake Gyllenhaal is desperate to settle down and start a family with girlfriend Reese Witherspoon, according to reports.
The Brokeback Mountain hunk has been romantically involved with divorced mother-of-two Witherspoon since meeting on the set of their 2007 film Rendition.
The couple has been inseparable since, and, according to U.S. magazine Ok!, Gyllenhaal has made his intention to begin a family with Witherspoon clear - despite having yet to propose.
A source says, "He knows he might be jumping the gun thinking of kids, but he knows that Reese is the one. He laughs and says he needs to propose and do this the right way. It really is first comes love, then comes marriage...
"(Reese) reminds him that it's more than just coming over to take the kids to the park. Your entire life has to change. She's admitted that he has grown from when they first met into this very dependable dad type. He is ready to have his whole life change."
Witherspoon's eight-year marriage to actor Ryan Phillippe ended in 2006, and their divorce was finalised on 5 October. The former couple has two children together, eight-year-old Ava and four-year-old Deacon.

"Reese doesn't want to live with Jake until they're married," said a source. "She has very traditional values.
"The thing that's convinced her that she wants to spend the rest of her life with Jake is how well he has fitted into family life.
"He is a good influence on her children and they have just a very strong relationship. Expect an engagement announcement any day now."
Gyllenhaal allegedly purchased a $7 million mansion in California for Witherspoon and her kids earlier this month". Source: www.digitalspy.co.uk
"Jake Gyllenhaal has seen off competition from famous hunks David Beckham and Brad Pitt to land the title of hottest gay icon.
The Brokeback Mountain actor, who starred in a camping love scene with the late Heath Ledger in the 2005 film, has topped the poll for the second year running.
Soccer ace Beckham and Pitt only managed 12th and 15th respectively, while Torchwood actor John Barrowman and Brothers and Sisters star Luke MacFarlane scooped second and third place respectively.
The poll was compiled by gay website AfterElton.com. Comedienne Tina Fey claimed the top spot in the Hot 100 gay women list on sister site, AfterEllen.com. Source: www.imdb.com/news
"…Canadian director Bruce McDonald reinvented the cinema with his remarkable "The Tracey Fragments", adapted by Maureen Medved from her stream-of-consciousness novel about a 15-year-old Winnipeg girl (Ellen Page) suffering dramatically from the slings and arrows of adolescence. McDonald undertakes to break the screen into an array of panels, of ever-changing quantity and attributes, each containing an independent image. Many of Tracey’s formal ideas are elaborations of the kind of cutting that’s commonly known as “intellectual montage,” in which the collision of different images creates a new idea that wasn’t intrinsic to either image. (I’m not sure that Eisenstein, who coined the term, intended for it to be applied to this simple schema; but I’ll use the phrase for lack of a better.) I’ve never enjoyed intellectual montage (even Eisenstein thought it was too literary an effect without additional qualities): it’s so easy for me to hang a concept on the process on that my mind registers only the concept, and is blocked from any appreciation of texture or mood. So I was surprised to discover that the extra dimensions that McDonald adds to montage in Tracey totally transform it."The Tracey Fragments" is not the first film to use paneled images, but it’s the first feature-length narrative that I know of that relies on paneling as its basic method of visual communication, that dispenses with the safety net of the full-frame image. To give some idea of the degrees of freedom in this system, here’s a partial, not terribly rigorous taxonomy of the effects I noted in Tracey:
Subjective panel creation: Tracey imagines Billy Zero saying “I love you, Tracey Berkowitz” before her act of violence. Motivated panel creation: small panels appear and disappear with the sound of Tracey’s breathing. Lyrical panel creation: as noted above, a thousand quiet slamming doors create a fluttering vibration; or, the screen converts over, one panel at a time, to an array of images of buzzing street lamps at twilight. Non-diegetic panel creation: Some panels of Tracey running are replaced by running horses, to reference the Patti Smith song on the soundtrack. Drama tied to panel creation: increase in quantity and frequency of panels when Tracey’s mom won’t speak to her on the phone. Drama tied to new effect concepts: non-rectangular panels appear for the first time after the film’s most violent scene. Drama tied to removal of effects: natural sound and color are restored as Billy Zero penetrates Tracey. Drama tied to end of paneling: there are no panels at all a few times in the film, most powerfully at the ending. Suspense cross-cutting: simultaneous panels show Tracey shoplifting and a suspicious store clerk watching. Cause/effect cross-cutting: simultaneous panels show Tracey in a photo booth and the pictures she takes. Point-of-view cross-cutting: simultaneous panels show Tracey reading a comic and frames from the comic. Space-preserving panels: a widescreen panel at the top of the screen shows a panorama of the space where Tracey talks to Billy Zero, with the rest of the screen showing details. Space-restoring effects: panels gradually reassemble a full-screen image after Tracey is pushed out of the car. Time shift: Panels assemble a contiguous space, but some panels are time-delayed, in the scene where Tracey stands up after Billy Zero leaves in his car. Unmotivated geometry play: panels are layered horizontally; or, panels are arranged in a checkerboard pattern. Motivated geometry play: the top horizontal panel of the screen shows the ceiling above Tracey. Text interpolations: Billy Zero’s first appearance at school is accompanied by a panel containing the words “New Boy.” Meta-effects: After echo has been associated with frames of the same action staggered in time, echo is used even with no time-staggered frames. Or: after the use of panels with white and black backgrounds depicting unreal settings, the therapist’s office is depicted abstractly, with white and black backgrounds in a whole frame".

"Ben Kingsley will play the villain in Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer's bigscreen adapatation of the Ubisoft vidgame "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time."
In the fantasy actioner, Kingsley portrays Nizam, who plots to kill his brother King Shahrman and blame it on Prince Dastan so he can take the throne.
Jake Gyllenhaal plays the prince, while Gemma Arterton and Alfred Molina round out the leads.
Pic starts lensing in July in Morocco and England with Mike Newell at the helm. Film will bow next year.
Currently in "War, Inc.," Kingsley will next be seen in the pics "The Love Guru," "50 Dead Men," "The Wackness," "Elegy" and "Transsiberian." He is currently filming Martin Scorsese's drama "Shutter Island," with Leonardo DiCaprio". Source: www.variety.com
"Now that Jake Gyllenhaal has officially signed to star in "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time", that basically means we can take his name off the table with regards to all future comic properties (at least until after Persia comes out, because that may turn into a franchise if the first makes loads of duckets). While we still have no idea whether Tobey Maguire will return to play Spidey in a Spider-Man 4, we do know that Sony is prepping something. They just re-upped their deal for a fourth installment (fact) and they may be looking to get more bang for their buck by shooting two sequels at the same time with a story arc that stretches across both films. Has enough time passed for Sam Raimi, Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst? Do they miss the roles? The characters? How much would it take to get them back? And do we want them back? I think it's pretty clear we all still want Spider-Man in our big-screen lives, even though the third film was what it was. But are Maguire and Dunst still the right actors for the job? Or would some new blood do an old franchise some good?
For awhile, lots of people were looking at Jake Gyllenhaal to replace Maguire if a decision like that had to be made. With Jake G. out of the picture, who else could you see filling Maguire's Spidey tights?

His suitability was hotly debated, but apparently all for nothing if the Internet is to be believed.
CHUD happened to be on set of Cirque du Freak, which Fugit has just finished filming, and one of the producers sent off an inquiry as to the truth of the casting rumor. The e-mail was the first Fugit had heard about it -- which means little in the world of "insider scoops," as Fugit could still quite possibly be on a "to be considered" list. A Sony rep also told IESB that the Fugit story is completely false. "No one is being considered for the role but Tobey. Period." Source: www.bloggingsundance.com
