Unrecognizable Jake - Persian look

"Jake Gyllenhaal has long hair for his part in the silly video game movie Prince of Persia. I wonder what Reese thinks of it. I wonder what Lance thinks of it. Crabbie like". Source: crabbieshollywood.blogspot.com

Kendra doesn't like it so much, I usually prefer short hair for men, but is this really Jake? His look seems dramatically changed, as if it was caused by a Persian syndrome.

Matilda Rose in Brooklyn

Michelle Williams & Matilda Rose Ledger take a neighbour’s dog for a a morning walk around Brooklyn, New York City on Tuesday, 16th September.
"Matilda Rose, the 2-year-old daughter of Michelle Williams and Heath Ledger, takes a neighbor’s dog for a morning walk around Brooklyn, New York City on Tuesday.
“I thought a lot about what you look like when you think nobody’s looking at you, when you feel completely invisible,” Ms. Williams said of her character Wendy. “Your entire life happens inside because you don’t think anyone notices you. Which is very different from me. Not that I don’t have any inside life, but I feel watched, all the time.”

As she spoke over a long lunch at a restaurant near her home in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn, Ms. Williams occasionally paused and smiled wryly as if to acknowledge the unspoken connections with her off-screen life. “It’s all so personal, isn’t it?” she said. “It’s hard to talk about work without talking about things that are personal. Work is personal. I don’t want to talk about my personal life, but it’s on my mind, and it’s in my work.”

Sam Mendes remembers Paul Newman

"There was this real sense of grace and dignity. He had nothing left to prove. He knew what a fortunate and wonderful life he had led, and he was very willing to admit that.

He was part of the extraordinary rich history of New York and Method acting and the fifties, and yet he somehow made it through to the end of the twentieth century with his reputation miraculously untarnished. We live in an era where, I’m not naming names, but the fall from grace of a movie star is exactly that. They lose their grace, their dignity, and the moment that happens is often very clear. The transition he managed from actor to icon to philanthropist and great man was absolutely extraordinary. This guy was the biggest box-office [actor] in the world for over a decade. To have that, and still maintain people’s respect for them as an actor, is almost unprecedented. There are very few in our lifetime. As George Clooney said, Paul didn’t just set the bar high for actors. He set the bar high for people. He seems to me to be one of the great twentieth-century lives, and the more I hear others talk about that, the truer it seems. He was resolutely unconventional to the end. This is a tiny drop in the ocean of stories. I mean, imagine what Redford must have! You’re used to editing your thoughts about people—even the nicest ones—but there’s no need with Paul." Source: nymag.com 

David O. Russell is praised

"I have been 'Internet challenged' long enough and am thrilled to join the tech revolution!" she writes as MySpace Celebrity's featured icon, which posted Sunday.

She adds: "Plus, I only have four friends and am in dire need of more. Just kidding, I have six." (Actually, she has three, according to her private profile.)

Currently filming "Nailed" in South Carolina with Jake Gyllenhaal and Tracy Morgan, Biel, 26, admits from her trailer that she's insecure about communicating so publicly but also feels "cooler being an official blogger."

"Nailed" may be called into question, the behavior of Russell can’t be, stars of the flick told MTV News, painting a very different picture of the director than what’s appeared in most recent stories.“He’s wonderful” Catherine Keener said.
“I love him”, co-star Jessica Biel echoed. “He pulled such a bizarre cool interesting performance out of everyone. It was quite an interesting experience. David was amazing.”

What’ll be equally interesting, no doubt, is how the final film, a political satire Keener called “a screwball comedy” about the adventures of a brain damaged waitress in Washington D.C winds up, given the massive delays and stoppages in production.

“That was the only really sh–ty part. The shutdowns were killing us,” Biel said. Source: moviesblog.mtv.com
