Jake Gyllenhaal remembers Heath Ledger in GQ

"It was opposite Jake Gyllenhaal in Brokeback Mountain that Heath Ledger gave the performance of his career.
Both actors were nominated for Academy Awards for their portrayals of two men who fall in love while working at a sheep ranch one summer and embark on a secretive affair for many years after.
The story in the movie ended tragically with the death of Gyllenhaal’s character. In real life, it was Ledger who died far too soon and Gyllenhaal talks a bit about him – for the first time since Heath’s death – in the new issue of GQ magazine.
“I don’t really like talking about it. That period of time was… it was difficult. He was very sensitive. He didn’t always have a sense of performance in his everyday life. He knew who he was. I think actors very often, they know how to present something, and that’s part of their job. I think he was just really sensitive. We often used to do a lot of things together, because people were very interested in him and I think we felt safe together. Even when we did Brokeback and stuff, it was like my work was the only thing that mattered to me. It was like I could only understand or define myself through doing that. Life, I didn’t totally understand. And I think I was afraid of life. And I had success in my work, enough success that you could keep going back there. But after that happened…I think I recognized that it was work. And I recognized that this is for real.” Source: greginhollywood.com

Prince Of Persia Stunts Featurette

Jake Gyllenhaal on the cover of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time - Ultimate Sticker Book (Scans)

"If the tasters of action in the latest Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time featurette are anything to go by, it's going to squeeze more fights and jumps into its running time than the games managed in all their incarnations.
The film sees Jake Gyllenhaal's Prince Dastan team up with Gemma Arterton's Princess Tamina (from a neighbouring kingdom; they're not brother and sister or anything) to save both their kingdoms from an evil Vizier (of course) determined to drown the land in a sandstorm and turn everyone into demons. Happily for we filmgoers, stopping him involves lots of running up walls, sword fighting, parkour (that's free running to non-French speakers out there) and general action" - Source: www.empireonline.com

"Last week Jake Gyllenhaal and Isabel Lucas were spotted
getting cosy in Montreal. Jake is in town shooting a movie and the gorgeous pair have been seen together yet again. Yay! Jake’s mum flew in over the weekend to keep her son company and things must be getting serious because Isabel joined the family for lunch. A source says that Jake and Isabel kissed when she arrived at Byblos Le Petit Cafe and that the two are spending lots of quality time together. Awww. What do you think? Source: www.popsugar.com.au

"I feel like the difference on the third one is that we all are so used to going back to this story that we fell right back into it", Stewart told Cinematical"... We were so comfortable with these characters that we have established a dynamic with the cast and the producers, and we would just sort of do our thing."Fanning says she spent about three days working on each installment of the Twilight Saga franchise, appearing at the end of filming in both New Moon and Eclipse.

Are you hungry for a muscilicious Robert Pattinson? It might just be on the menu!

Hey ClevverTV peeps! I'm your girl Dana Ward here in Beverly Hills contemplating a slim Pattinson or a buff Robert... This dilemma comes after the story hit that Twilight Saga producers apparently asked RP to bulk-up for Breaking Dawn. It does somewhat make sense because now reports are coming in that Pattinson has been busy consuming a protein-rich diet. He's been spotted regularly visiting the UK restaurant chain Nandos and chowing down on the peri peri chicken dish.

California Temaki Sushi

Hand-rolled cones of nori (Japanese seaweed) are folded around fillings – like wrapping a bunch of flowers – and eaten with bowls of wasabi, soy sauce, and pickled ginger. Serve as an appetizer or increase the quantities and arrange the ingredients on dishes, for guests to assemble their own DIY party starter.

"In my third or fourth year of life I ate my first restaurant meal, at the Steak 'n Shake on Green Street near the University of Illinois campus. I dined on a Steakburger, french fries, and a Coke. I felt extremely important. The eyes of the world were on this capable little man, sitting on a stool at the counter, grasping a Steakburger in his hands and opening up to take the first bite. If I were to take President Obama and his family to dinner and the choice were up to me, it would be Steak 'n Shake--and they would be delighted. If the Pope were to ask where he could get a good plate of spaghetti in America, I would reply, "Your Holiness, have you tried the Chili Mac or the Chili 3-Ways?"

A downstate Illinois boy loves the Steak 'n Shake as a Puerto Rican loves rice and beans, an Egyptian loves falafel, a Brit loves banger and mash, an Indian loves tikki ki chaat, a Swede loves herring, a Finn loves reindeer jerky, and a Canadian loves bran muffins. These matters do not involve taste. They involve a deep-seated conviction that a food is absolutely right, and always has been, and always will be. These convictions are fixed at an early age. I do not expect to convert you.
My father said it was not for the likes of me. He liked a dash on his Chili 3-Ways. I would watch in awe as he sprinkled it on, and took his first taste. There were none of the masochistic cries of pain associated with hot sauce daredevils. He would simply glance at me sideways and elevate his eyebrows a fraction. You see why as a film critic I am so alert to the subtle nuances of acting. Source: blogs.suntimes.com
