Taylor Swift dumped by Jake Gyllenhaal: 'A heartbreak is worth a few albums'

Jake Gyllenhaal attending the special screening of "Love and Other Drugs" on 16 November 2010

Though the hopeless romantic should have probably been a little more cautious — especially after her infamous stints with the likes of John Mayer and Joe Jonas — the young star gave it her all. Now a source told Us Weekly “Taylor is really upset and hurt. She doesn’t know what she did wrong.” She may have done nothing wrong to Jake but may have done wrong by not listening to her friends who tried to help. The source added, “her friends told her not to move too quickly, but she didn’t listen. They thought he was a bit of a player.”
Well Taylor, you have made millions of dollars by writing songs about being burned even publicly admitting — “A letdown is worth a few songs. A heartbreak is worth a few albums” — so look at this as a blessing and turn it into a hit! A source even confirmed to the mag that that’s exactly what she is planning to do: “she’s definitely writing about it and talking to friends.”
Careful Jake you just scorned the wrong girl! Source: www.hollywoodlife.com

“I choose things that are so overly ambitious,” Kristen tells Vogue. And the actress has chosen well! She’s skyrocketed to success with The Twilight Saga but has maintained her humble beauty without a trace of ego.
Bill Condon, the director of Breaking Dawn, reveals to the mag that, “Kristen was the top of my list of reasons to do this movie.”

On finding a good part: ”A compulsion absolutely fills you”
On returning to the Twilight set: “[It was] like going back to school… Twilight is a different beast.”
On getting into acting: ”I don’t think I would ever have been able to be an actress had I not started at nine years old. I would have been the last person to stand up and say, ‘I’d like to star in the play.”
On trusting her friends: ”You build a perimeter of people that are really important to you.”

“There’s no way to eloquently put this. I just can’t go to the mall. It bothers me that I can’t be outside very often,” she said.
“And also to not ever be ’some girl’ again. Just being some chick at some place, that’s gone.”
Recent reports claimed Stewart and her boyfriend, Robert Pattinson, got engaged after their argument about Kristen spending too much time with actor Garrett Hedlund". Source: www.showbizspy.com

Songs "Don't ever change" and "Just like honey" by The Jesus & Mary Chain

"Well I guess I never saw her in that way
Well I guessed everything always ends that way
Oh I guess I should have tried to make her stay
Keep on coming
Keep on coming

Some people live their lives to understand
Some people live their lives to take command
But the day has come when I must make my stand
Keep on coming
Keep on coming

Don’t ever change
Don’t ever change
Change
Change
If I can’t get to you

It’s just the way you tried to hold me down
You got a hold on me and I’m scared to make a sound
And you know everything I ever tried to say
Come on keep on coming please don’t walk away
You got a hold on me and I’m scared to let you go"

"Dont ever change" lyrics by The Jesus & Mary Chain

Taylor Swift dumped by Jake Gyllenhaal over the phone

"When Jake Gyllenhaal dumped Taylor Swift over the phone just before New Year's -- ending their whirlwind two-month romance -- Swift, 21, was completely blind-sided, multiple pals tell the new Us Weekly, out now.
"It was a 180-degree turn and so out of the blue", a source tells Us of 30-year-old Gyllenhaal's decision.
Explains another insider, "Jake just told her it wasn't working out...Taylor is really upset and hurt. She doesn't know what she did for him to put a stop to it. She feels really burned by him."

Indeed, it was an about-face for the Love and Other Drugs actor, who was first to pursue Swift, asking his handlers in October to set them up; their first weekend together, he took her on an apple picking date in upstate New York and to a Saturday Night Live taping in NYC.
"Jake started this whole thing, but then he just stopped responding to her," another source says. Source: www.usmagazine.com
