Jake Gyllenhaal: Poetry in Motion

Jake Gyllenhaal: Poetry in Motion

Just got a tip from one of my readers that director Stephen Gyllenhaal held a poetry reading last night at the Midnight Farm in Vineyard Haven out on Martha’s Vineyard. Papa G read selections were from his very recently published book, a collection of poems called "Claptrap: Notes From Hollywood". Wife Naomi, daughter Maggie and Jake were there for the reading. Amy Brenneman and Brad Silberling (director for Moonlight Mile, the movie Jake did with Susan Sarandon, Dustin Hoffman, and Ellen Pompeo) also were in attendance.

Peter Saarsgard (and Natalie Portman) were not present for the reading.  Peter did attend when Papa G gave his first reading in NYC a few weeks ago, but Jake was in L.A. at the time. Stephen will give another reading in SoHo, NYC in October 2006.  More pictures in the gallery of a shirtless Jake last weekend on the side of the road in Malibu after a bike ride…

UPDATE ::  Jake also reportedly got himself a brand new tattoo three days ago on his inner right arm… he’s currently headed back to the Big Apple.  Let the Jake Gyllenhaal tattoo watch begin!

Why the hell would Natalie Portman be there??Anyone who believes she and Jake are dating is way too blind, or just closing their eyes on purpose.

No one knows what the tattoo says just that it’s nine or ten letters long, written in Olde English text style. One person said that it may have been the phrase - live strong. Dear God I hope not. For a guy that doesn’t even have his ears pierced, this is a very strange thing indeed.

The baldheaded guy in the picture with Jakey is the same trainer that’s been riding with Jake, Lance and Matt all during the time they were cycling in Malibu. GAWD! I hope Jake did NOT get Live Strong tattooed on his arm. How gross. How gross he got any kind of tattoo. He’s already perfectly perfect! Mmmmmm!

He is soo hot :DBtw, the logo he has on his T-shirt is the logo from the Peruvian flag right??–> http://www.houseofperu.org/images/peru-flag.gif

Glad Jake’s daddy did a poetry reading! Who knew! I hope people thanked him for giving us Jake. Oy!He is soooo beautiful! I mean seriously. How could anybody concentrate on poetry with him in the same room..
