Jake Gyllenhaal at SBIFF 2009 David Fincher Tribute


Jake Gyllenhaal says some words about director David Fincher at Santa Barbara International Film festival.

Mysterious blonde at Caffe Luxxe

"He wasn't there for the coffee, but Jake Gyllenhaal was deep in conversation with a mystery blonde at his favorite hangout, Caffe Luxxe on Montana Avenue in Santa Monica. Dressed down in a grey T-shirt and jeans, the actor appeared to be interviewing his companion, onlookers say. The two chatted for 30 minutes and left separately without ordering anything".

I only hope that "mysterious blonde" wasn't our darling Reese, if not somebody is out of the loop! Although Reese was busy that same day shopping with her mom:

Ledger's family would accept the Oscar

"If Heath Ledger wins the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor on Feb. 22, his family will accept the award on his behalf, Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan told EW.com at the DGA Awards Saturday night. Nolan accepted Ledger's Golden Globe award on Jan. 8, and Ledger's Dark Knight costar Gary Oldman took the stage on behalf of the young actor at the SAG Awards on Jan. 25. Nolan did not elaborate on which members of Ledger's family would accept should Ledger win, but previous family statements have been made by Ledger's father, Kim, mother, Sally, and older sister Kate, and it's possible all three would step to the front of the Kodak on Oscar night".

Christian Bale's meltdown

"You may remember that Christian Bale went nuts on the set of "Terminator Salvation" a few months back, threatening to stop production and beat some serious ass.

The incident was audiotaped, and it's amazing. It happened on the set after a director of photography accidentally ruined a scene by walking onto the set. Bale lost it, screaming, yelling and threatening to quit if the bosses didn't fire the dude.

Film execs sent the tape to the insurance company that insured the film in case Bale bailed."

Oscar voters forgot "Zodiac"

"Award fates didn't seem to matter Friday night as Fincher, just back from the Japanese launch of his movie, clearly had the Arlington crowd in the palm of his hand, even doing an amusing impression of his "Zodiac" cinematographer Harris Savides and another time jumping excitedly out of his chair to make a point. Unlike Rourke he watched all the film segments including a killer reel of his commercial and music video work. Seeing all his career achievements in one fell swoop like this proves Fincher really is the master director of the moment with consistently spectacular work in "Seven", "Panic Room", "Fight Club" and the one-two punch of "Benjamin Button" and "Zodiac", a March 2007 release that Oscar voters seemed to forget". His "Zodiac" star Jake Gyllenhaal made a special appearance to praise Fincher as did "Button's" Oscar-nominated Supporting Actress Taraji P. Henson".
