Weekend Couples

This has been a week filled with break-up rumours between Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon.I'm actually surprised of reading people preferred the couple Jake made with Kirsten Dunst some years ago.Heath Ledger with Michelle Williams.
Kirsten Dunst and Adam Green (The Moldy Peaches' singer) with funny clown noses.Ellen Pompeo and Patrick Dempsey (Grey's Anatomy Meredith Grey & Derek Shepherd).
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart (real couple or Twilight fans' daydreaming item?)
Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes (Romeo and Juliet).Hugh Dancy and Claire Danes (recently married).Angelina and Brad Pitt.
Evan Rachel Wood and Jim Sturgess (Across the Universe)
Evan Rachel Wood and Henry Cavill (Whatever works)It seems Evan Rachel Wood gave Marilyn Manson a second chance!Ione Skye and John Cusak (Diane and Lloyd in "Say Anything").Mickey Rourke and Jaime King in "Sin City".Mickey Rourke and his model girlfriend Elena Kuleskaya.Tao Ruspoli and Olivia Wilde.Shia Labeouf and Megan Fox in "Transformers 2".
Shia Labeouf and Carey Mulligan in "Wall Street 2".Willa Holland and Ryan Donowho.Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward.Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor as Brick and Maggie in "Cat on a hot tin roof".
James Dean and Pier Angeli.Grace Kelly and James Stewart in "Rear Window".Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable in "The Misfits".Arthur Miller and Marilyn Monroe.Keira Knightley and James McAvoy in "Atonement".Johnny Lee Miller and Sienna Miller in "After Miss Julie" Broadway production.Dominic Cooper and Amanda Seyfried.
Brian Austin Green and Megan Fox.Katy Perry and Adam Lambert would be a hip bi-curious couple (Lamperry, Perlamb, Perbert?).

Jake Gyllenhaal talks about Tobey Maguire

Jake Gyllenhaal talks about his interaction with Tobey Maguire in "Brothers". And, what does he think about being called one of the "greatest actors of our time"?

"Gyllenhaal is superb at channeling his confused feelings into physical awkwardness. He shows up at the family's house one morning, after a particularly unsettling episode, carrying construction materials for her kitchen. "I brought you some moulding," he mutters, and sure enough, there it is, coiled into stiff loops that keep threatening to spring out of his arms.But Portman doesn't quite meet Gyllenhaal's challenge. She holds back too much here, as if she has more invested in playing a dutiful wife and mother than she does in playing a human, sexual being. That may not be wholly her fault. My biggest reservation about "Brothers" is the way it downplays, and too readily smooths over, the sexual attraction between Tommy and Grace. I'm not suggesting that this Hollywood version of "Brothers" needs graphic sex. (The original didn't have that, either.) But I worry that Sheridan, intentionally or otherwise, may have muted the characters' attraction to one another out of fear that American audiences expect more virtuous behavior from their war-torn families. Shot for shot, Sheridan's approach isn't radically different from Bier's. (The director of photography here is Frederick Elmes)". Source: www.salon.com

Jake Gyllenhaal says Brothers isn't just a war movie

Tommy Cahill (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a domestic fixer in "Brothers".

“It’s funny that people are saying this is some kind of war movie,” says Jake Gyllenhaal, who plays emotionally bruised ex-con brother Tommy Cahill. “It is intertwined with a lot of other complications,” he concedes — those complications presumably being Sam Cahill’s life-altering torture in Afghanistan during the, uh, war — “but mostly it’s about what this man does to get back to the people that he loves and to his life.”But Gyllenhaal isn’t wrong. Brothers focuses more on the psychological journey of an individual soldier than the structure of military conflict. You could say Brothers reverses the standard war movie formula by featuring the war in the soldier rather than the soldier in the war, and for that reason alone it does deserve some degree of differentiation. But it also begs the larger question: Has the term “war movie” become a bad word?“A lot of our foreign distributor partners, domestic partners, and everybody involved I think saw past the normal war issues,” Kavanaugh said. “And they saw that something magical could be created by putting all these people together.”

Director Jim Sheridan took a different, if more direct approach to the question: “I think there’s a denial that there’s a war going on at all,” he said. Source: www.movieline.com

Jake talks about kids

Maggie Gyllenhaal with her daughter Ramona (Jake's niece).

"I've learned so much from the kids in my life, and somehow they just become the center of your life and the way you look at things," he told Grazia Australia, referring to his 3-year-old niece Ramona (daughter of Maggie Gyllenhaal) and possibly Witherspoon's children, Ava, 10, and Deacon, 6. Jake having lunch with Maggie & Ramona at Ammo in LA, on 25th March 2009.

"Obviously I exist in my girlfriend's world and my sister's world in a different way, but it's opened my heart and I feel much more grown up and want to be grown up as a result of it."

Jake Gyllenhaal out for a hike with Reese Witherspoon and family in L.A., on 26th January 2008.

Regardless, he'd rather talk about his movie about a love triangle with Natalie Portman and Tobey Maguire than about his actual love life.

"As I get more famous, there is less that is just mine so I hope you understand I want to protect that as much as I can," he says. "I understand the news cycle, I really do, but as we all know news cycles come and go and I don't have to comment on them." Jake and Reese leaving The Vanity Fair Oscar Party in LA, on 22nd February 2009.
