Jake Gyllenhaal Gets a Haircut!

Jake Gyllenhaal Gets a Haircut!

Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal shop at APC clothing store in West Hollywood on Saturday (January 24).

The couple came out empty-handed but walked to their car holding hands. And it looks like Jake got a haircut and finally cut his mane off!

The Devil Wears Prada star Anne Hathaway recently complimented Reese on her figure.

She said, “I don’t think it’s just Hollywood that gives out that message. As a society we put out these unrealistic body images to young women. But I’m a normal shape and Scarlett Johansson is not a skinny, skinny girl. Beyonce looks after herself and has a beautiful body. Reese [Witherspoon] looks great.” 10+ pics inside…

What do you mean “walked to their car holding hands”? WTF? LOL! No they didn’t. They held hands 2 steps out the door while the customers inside were watching then Jake let go as fast as he could as if Reese had scabies. She probably does LOL! Jared you really need to look at pics not just post them and print out the PR release. Oh wait, sorry. Thats what you get paid to do isn’t it.

How long have they been married? Because that’s exactly what my parents looked like at their 35 year anniversary before they killed themselves.

oh please! anne hathaway is herself borderline anorexic skinny, she doth protest too much!

Sorry guys, but I’m not feelin the chemistry between them at all. And Reese is nasty looking. I hate her clothes.

Kirsten Dunst @ 01/25/2009 at 1:10 am

Sorry Reese, the young bohemian look just makes you look like a ridiculous old unkempt midget.

Wow, Jakey Boy doesn’t look to happy to see the paps. Maybe he should seek a different profession. Last time I heard, this whole charade is part of being a Hollywood celebrity. It goes with the territory.

Gee whiz, what was the temperature today in West Hollywood that forced Reese to wear a STOCKING CAP and a MUFFLER? 50 degrees maybe? Good thing it wasn’t any colder–she might’ve worn a SNOWSUIT. ;-)

weatherman @ 01/25/2009 at 1:29 am

It was 63F. in West Hollywood. Too bad it wasn’t any colder then she would have worn a ski mask over that fugly mug of hers.

Who cares about the midget beside him. Thanks to God! He has a haircut and get rids of the beanie. It’s time he should think about getting rid of the one beside him, too!

Good that he has ditched the Musllim terrorist look. Now he has reverted to semi-American. PofP will be the defining movie in his career. If it makes lots of money he’ll be on easy street. If it bombs, one has to wonder what he will do next. He is far more popular with the gossip columnists than with movie goers. He doesn’t even rank in the top 100 of celebrities.

OpsSS!!!! @ 01/25/2009 at 3:36 am

SHE’S TOO SHORT,SHE LOOK LIKE A DWARF!!

The midget norwegian troll look does look particularly ridiculous on Reese doesn’t it.

Finally without a knit cap …. i sincerely start to worry, what happen to his beautiful hair and now i can relief, it still there… prettier than ever…

Kirsten Dunst
You had your chance…. :))))

Oh, my god! What was she thinking when she put that cap on, it looks ridicuolus on her, she problaby thinks she looks cool. I know it’s in fashion now and a lot of celebs wear it, but not all fashion items suit everybody. This is what happens when her stylist is not available and she has to decide what to wear by herself.

After seeing these pictures I think RW was miscast in Four Christmasses, I think she should have played an elf.

I saw a picture of Jake the other day wearing a shirt similar to one of Reese’s and now I see her wearing his beenie and his scarf, what’s next, a sex change? I think soon will see Jake wearing her dresses and shoes(maybe he does at home already) and Reese wearing his trousers,well, I think she already is wearing the trousers in the relationship, anyway. Man, grow a pair.

omg reese looks so Fugly in thses pics jake looks so hot as always………………..

omgosh reese looks so Fugly in these pics jake looks hot as always
agree with #11 i don’t feel the chimestry either

I just don’t know… It is not great to judge people you don’t know..But here goes.. They both just don’t seem like a ball of fire. I mean they seem kind of boring and not much fun to be around. JMO

LolaSvelt @ 01/25/2009 at 5:55 am

Wow, he got a haircut.

But I actually agree with her comment. I hate it when people always blame Hollywood because it’s the only thing they can blame. Blame people who give the wrong message.

they seem kind of boring and not much fun to be around. JMO

Well I doubt they do drugs or get high, if that is what you mean by “fun”. By all accounts they are pretty ordinary in what they do, stay home nights, etc. Only of course she’s got oodles of money and he isn’t poor. But there is none of the obscene display of wealth of some people in Hollywood. Whatever they do or don’t do at night, they are probably among the very sane people in Hollywood.

One physical characteristic of Jake is that he has very long fingers. I suspect he is proud of them since he often manages to show them off as he does in one, at least, of these pictures.

PHONYSPOON @ 01/25/2009 at 6:57 am

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…………

Reese Witherspoon looks bad, the woman is fugly and looks 45.
Reese and Jake didn’t feel like working, no fake smiles for paparazzi this time!
LOL

If that was my wife, I would be asking her, are you seriously living the house dressing like that?
Hortense, How do you know they don’t get high at home? We don’t know what these people do at home, he could be hitting the bottle at night and we wouldn’t know,he must need it if he has to go to bed with her, I saw RW buying boxes of wine before Jake came back from London. What we see is only five mins. of their lives and only what they want us to see.

i love that colour on him! instead of his yucky mousy brown colour! wow..never used to like this guy, but he looks hotttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!!!

During the schools days i saw many super cute guys with ugly and even fat girlfriends, one of these guys were my closest friend… when i ask him what he sees in her…. he answer me shortly … energy and personality. After that i want to shoot myself for even asking….:)))

* asked :)))

What is the problem with this old women! She must walk with her toyboy with holding hands. She has Alzheimer’s disease!
She looks like a garden dwarf!

What a prostitute men make for money! They can sleep with the worst old woman to get money of them!
When the children of Reese Witherspoon will grow up they will be embarassed of her mother.
They will observe that It was another bad child (5 years lod young as she ) holding hands with her and he will make competition with them about her money too!

Yes, Ivana, but you don’t take your personality to bed, you take your body. In this particular case I think it’s all about money and power. Jake is atractted to this woman just because she’s got lots of money and she made it, won an oscar, etc.Plus, I think he is one of those men that like to have an easy life, he doesn’t have to pay rent or buy a house, I bet she pays for all the shopping, does all the cooking,buys his clothes,etc, just like a mother to him. He is only 28, in 10 years time he’ll probably be looking for a proper wife to have his own family, but for the moment, this is comfortable and good publicity for both of them.

Jake looks like he is 50 and his hair looks like crap.

Jake Gyllenhaal is a prostitute men! She would like the money of Reese Witherspoon and he would like to haved profit in this dirty Disney film.
Prince of Persia make merchandise for Video Games. Video Games damage children and teenager. Thjey have lot of subliminar messages and they are violents. Video Games damage the concentration of teenager and children and when they had the addition to play with them, these games damge the concentration of them to study in school.

What these dirty people of Hollywood make for MONEY!

I think that these two never get married…. they will continue their relationship, while they enjoy in each other company.

Lindsay… true you don’t take your personality in bed, but when you first meet person her personality is one of important things that you attracted in first place..

did he dye his hair? it looks more auburn than it’s usual brown.

i think he might be giving the finger. haha.

About buying his clothes…. his jeans, T-shirt and sweater are old one…
I remember i used to see him with that clothes…
Reese maybe pays bills and their visit to restaurants … :)))

FAUXMANCE @ 01/25/2009 at 9:30 am

Reese Witherspoon is using Jake for publicity and “have it all” public image.
Jake Gyllenhaal needs straight image.
Business as usual in Hollywood.

You can tell he’s not interested in her. Could he be more obvious? And she looks like a little sister tagging along.

great looking couple, just love Jake & Reese. great actors.

There are actors who don’t like having the paps around all the time. Jake and Reese looked perfectly happy until they came outside, it probably just felt like an infringement of their privacy.

Yes, ellie, great actors, the act 24/7…..acting non stop.

God, I would be sooo embarrassed to go out in the street holding hands with a woman who is looking like that,……wohhh. Is she going to a fancy dress party after?I think he looks a bit embarrassed,too.

I can’t see a genuine person when I look for Reese, I just see a character.

When these two bill & coo, ops write that it’s all fake affection. When they walk on the street just holding hands, ops write that they’re boring. You can’t have it both ways.
Do I believe this couple has any future? No. He’s 28 yrs old and has only been in one long term relationship before with a woman. (There are various theories being told about that.) She is 32 yrs old, divorced with two kids. Not to mention she’s known him since he was 17 and she was 21, and for all of those years he and his family were friends with her ex-husband.
But I say to hold off on the nit picking. They’re just walking for gosh sakes!

They are actors only for americans. The americans people aren’t inteligent and they haven’t culture too!
The americans are isoleted of the rest of world every year more!
Nobody in world beleive them! In future nobody will believe in their aggressiv and primitive propagandas and their decadent prominents!

I think they are together because it is convenient and it fits into their schedules for the moment. It probably has the added bonus of annoying the ex and keeping the gay, gilted exwife stories out of the tabloids. They don’t seem compatible enough to have a long happy marriage. But maybe a long happy business partnership is all they want in life. LOL

I don’t see what Jake see’s in her. She is just so unattractive. So mousey.

Reese must be really short. She looks so tiny in these pics. I thought he looked horrible with long hair, but it turns out after seeing his new haircut . . .he looked better with it long.

mimsy, I couldn’t agree more with you, and it wouldn’t be the first couple in Hollywood with a long business partnership, there are lots, that’s why they are living there.We don’t see much about Ryan and Abbie, they are keeping their lives more personal, plus, we didn’t see so many public appereances and paps photos when RW was with Ryan,not even comment about her outfits, wearing Jake’s clothes, trying to get people to comment,….it’s all so obvious for the business.

yeah anne, we all know you don’t care about being skinny that’s why you dropped like 15 lbs.

People, I’ve had it with the comments about “what does he see in her” concerning this relationship and others. They always reference the writer’s opinion about the beauty (or lack) of the woman.
Maybe Jake didn’t hold a beauty contest to choose his girlfriend. Maybe only shallow insecure men do. Maybe he chose her because they have an emotional attatchment, the same as the rest of th world does. As for RW being fugly as many of you say, I’d love to see what you all look like. Reese is an attractive, successful actress. She’s not my favorite person in the world and this is not my favorite couple but stop the hate.

shut up don’t tell people what to think

I don’t sympathize with Reese, but I think people are very sexist here, especially women.Why a woman must be beautiful for a man like her?And what is the problem of women earn more than the man or be more successful?

Had it,
Respect other people’s opinions, you can give yours, but don’t tell people what to comment, you don’t have the right, we are in 2009, for God’s sake. Regarding what I look like, I’m 1m 70 cm, brunette, slim, blue eyes, long black hair, I’m not a top model, but I have the right to comment on other’s people’s look in this website as this is only for entertainment. By the way any ordinary woman look 1000 times better than RW.We don’t bl***y care if Jake likes her or not, but we can comment on what we think about the relationship, if there is actually one.

Reese Witherspoon strinks @ 01/25/2009 at 12:12 pm

Reese isn’t Jake’s girlfriend, she is Jake’s publicity business partner.
Reese is a fake nice, smug b*tch and a dull woman, no one likes her for her personality.
Ask Vince Vaugn, he hates her guts!
LOL

Vince V. wasn’t even in the premiere of Four Xtmasses, he didn’t even comment on the movie, that’s how fed up he must have been with her.He didn’t show for any promotions at all.She must have been hell to work with, I can imagine, tiny little bossy woman.

Alarm Clock @ 01/25/2009 at 12:37 pm

Jake needs to come out NOW and cut his losses. His association with Witherspoon and the showmance ain’t doing c r a p for him. He needs to wake up and smell the coffee.

Jake needs to wake up and smell the b u l l s h i t .

How childish @ 01/25/2009 at 12:42 pm

Are some of these comments, as if you know Reese personally, it’s all jealosy thats it. And please don’t say it isn’t because it’s soooo obvious just reread some of your own comments.

The witch is here!.

Hey, Nela. If that’s what you look like, I’m a slim 30 year old, 5″10″ blond with large blue eyes and long legs. Two can play at that game. I haven’t told anyone what to think. I’ve asked people to show some common sense and courtesy. If you and others want to use this site for anonymous hate, I can’t stop you. But it’s pathetic.

Jakey, why the long face? He looks so sad that it makes me sad to look at the pics. Maybe he was thinking of Heath since the one year anniversary of his passing was on the 22nd, and Heath also scored an Oscar nomination on that day. Awww, cheer up Jake.

Hi Anon…
Although Jake face is little bit sad… it is still most beautiful face in Hollywood… Heath and Jake only two persons in Hollywood who actually worth something…

BECKY SMITH @ 01/25/2009 at 1:20 pm

Yeah and so was Matt Damon too since he did Brother Grimm with
Heath.. and a slew of other actors should show up tonight and pay
tribute to Heath.. since his is the perfect example to kids everywhere
if you can’t handle life take “too many pills by accident..”

Had it,
Blond or brunette, it doesn’t matter how we look, this is only a celebrity website,people make comments here just for fun. this is not a competition between blondes and brunettes or anything like that, just relax, I don’t care what you look like, just respect people’s opinions, let everybody elese comment and let them say what they want, don’t take these things so seriously, life is too short. I respect your opinion and as we are in a democratic system I expect you to respect mine,too. Now, go out and have some fun, woman, maybe, get a boyfriend or something, so you don’t have to spend your time writting in these websites, good luck!By the way, I already have one, but he is away with work this weekend, unfortunatelly.

Becky i am not kid…. and i am not saying that Heath lived without problems… he have them like we all do, but he chosen wrong solution and he made mistake, but in spite of that, he wasn’t bad person…
Jake silence to me have more dignity, than pay tribute in pubic…

Had it,
If you look so good, why aren’t you in hollywood, go for some kind of beauty contest, woman,….good luck, you might be the next person we see in these websites, go for it.Honestly, maybe you are wasting your time just writting here, go to Hollywood!Yeah!

Yep,”Had it “is probably lying about the way she looks like, Nela. Don’t give her any ideas, don’t give a s**t about her,…..she is probably a white single woman desperate for a man, who spends most of her day checking these websites as she hasn’t got anyone to care for her. Don’t even listen to her comments…..

leo,
I think you are being too hard on Had it. Had it, don’t listen to him, if you are so good looking, just make the most of it and go for it. I hate when people talk about single women desperate for a man, the fact a woman is single doesn’t mean she needs a man, maybe she is happy like that,…uhhh.

stupid and stupider @ 01/25/2009 at 2:20 pm

Nela and Leo pot, kette, black.

I love this site @ 01/25/2009 at 2:35 pm

stupid and stupider, what do you mean, can you explain, please,….I wanna have a laugh, what kette and black means,…..he,he,….

Wow, stupid and stupider, I’ve just seen a picture of Rose McGowan on X17 and I tell you this, that woman could turm me into a lesbian right now, go and have a look, tell me what you think,….

BECKY SMITH @ 01/25/2009 at 2:50 pm

So why should the director of the movie pick up his award.. He was done with Heath the minute it was finished.. and no one from the cast need not to accept either. if you are deceased you should not be nominated His family or Michelle should do it.. since we all know that it goes to Matilda..

P.S there is nothing wrong in they way they are dressed..

Good luck and good buy everybody! I won’t post in this site again, but enjoy if you do. Buy!

Becoming a another Rachel bilson with this couple thing. We all that they are a couple don’t need to see them all the time. Oh rachel bilson doesn’t have anybody to say she’s in a relationship.

Heath definitely deserves that award… maybe director of the movie will give her to Michelle… who knows..
Maybe on this way Film Academy tried to correct failure when Heath loose his Oscar for Brokeback..
I think they should stop with this Batman movie.. it brings only trouble..

an okay couple but i don’t really give a **** bout them
http://www.mayflower777.book.fr

BECKY SMITH @ 01/25/2009 at 3:56 pm

Maybe it is time to get the Ledger family off their fat butts and get on a
plane and accept for their son.. who cares about him anyway..If they
are going to give him the award .. his own family should accept…

Back to Regular Programming @ 01/25/2009 at 4:26 pm

Okay back to reese and Jake.. *rolls eyes* they are pathetic. Even if they weren’t bearding and were a real couple WHICH THEY ARE NOT there is no chemistry or love here. They look like 2 very unhappy people stuck together and guess what, its not because of the paps. They are 2 celebs shopping on a Saturday in broad daylight in HOLLYWOOD, they know there might be paps around so none of you can say they were annoyed because they saw paps there. That’s b u l l s h i t. How come Reese wasn’t annoyed when paps *happened* to show up at a pig farm in the middle of nowhere when she was with her kids? Uh huh.

Stupid and stupider, I think you should be carefull with the racist comments now, you have a black president now,………..be carefull with your kette, black issue,……b****dy racist, go away. People like you shouldn’t even exist.

Why don’t the paps leave them the hell alone already?

truth,
paps make money taking pictures of celebs because people want to see them, so it’s all a circle, paps take pictures of celebs, people want to see celebs, so they buy gossip mags, and celebrities get more money as they are in the limelight, result, celebs love paparazzi, they are good for them.

FINALLY!

He looks like a wimp she looks like a witch.

#67, who in the hell is jealous of that little mousy woman, Reese? Nobody.

If we would be jealous of any woman, it would Angelina Jolie, yeah, someone gorgeous like Angelina.

Small minds like yours think any time someone is not complimentary of someone, they are jealous. Get real.

Is Reese pregnant? Kind of looks like it here.

#90..If they wanted to be left alone, they picked the wrong profession.

He’s a good looking guy though, she OTOH is ugly. He could do much better.

“Is Reese pregnant? Kind of looks like it here.”

Are you kidding me? He’s probably careful as hell NOT to knock her up. He probably wants out of this mess . It was a mistake from the beginning anyway.

Reese pregnant? If she is it wouldn’t be Jake’s. He’s gay. The last woman he was in was the statue of liberty.

She has a rather tragic shape that makes her look permanently pregnant.

so much meanest and hostility on this site…. :( Jared, why don’t you just wipe these nasty ppl off of your website?

Reese Witherspoon is a studio prostitute like lot of actresses of Hiollywood at present!
Hollywood film industry is a garbage!
I will not go to the cinema this year and I will not buy their horrible product whose the actors and actresses are making propaganda.
They can put the Oscar in their §ASS%!

Oh, my Lord! She looks grotesque,she is not the best looking woman,is she?This post is hilarious, justjared, I bet even the fotographers were cracking up when they took these pictures. He is ok, but she is ugly as hell…..

Not Sexy Anymore @ 01/26/2009 at 3:42 am

Jake used to be The Sex but ever since he started hanging around his best beard Reese he’s had the hotness taken out of him.

Jake is still very HOT, but with Reese he start to be so seriousss…

Hortensia @ 01/26/2009 at 9:02 am

Amazing how many comments Jake gets compared to Reese. Her news never attracts even half of what he gets. Now that his hair is okay and he looks as if he might have had a shower, he is much more attractive. Reese is very attractive; she has LOTS of money. That’s really ATTRACTIVE.

Jake Gyllenhaal become very old ! The life as toyboy, babysitter of children of another “horn$er” men and sometimes work in studio is too hard for this lazy men!

She looks odd because she is wearing some kind of scarf that is too long. It is quite amazing how short he is compared to him. He is 6′ which is not exactly a giant; she must be only 5′2 or so. A number of small people photograph well on the screen, oddly enough. Tom Cruise is small, Reese is small and Daniel Radcliffe is a midget, only 5′5″ maybe, stretching it, 5′6″ and he photographs very well too. Cameras seem to like small people.

Hortensia @ 01/26/2009 at 1:53 pm

LET IT BE SAID, LOUD AND CLEAR. WITHERSPOON IS A VERY GOOD ACTRESS. AND NOT DUE TO WALK THE LINE BUT TO ELECTION. HER TRACY FLICK WAS ONE OF THE GREAT CHARACTERIZATIONS OF ALL TIME IN MOVIES. I SUSPECT IT WAS VERY LIKE THE REAL HER.

I don’t hate Reese… i found her as very interesting woman… :)))

SHE IS TRACY FLICK THAT WAS NOT ACTING.

Jake’s not as cute as he use to be. And Reese has never been pretty.

It seems Jake is losing patience with paps.
BTW, he continues hot.

Jake´s hair is great. Probably the hair is unkempt in the pics cause he lent his cap to Reese.

I am starting to dislike Anne Hathaway.
Actually, it´s very cynic to say that some actresses (Scarlet, Reese, Beyonce and herself Anne) aren´t skinny.
Maybe they aren´t as skinny as the anorexic Angelina Jolie but all they are more skinny than normal woman and probably all they actresses go hungry.
For a country like USA, Reese is very skinny !

He gave his hat to Reese? What would make you think that? She wears that hat all the time. If he gave his to her it would not fit on her head. I hate how his crazy fans have to protect him from every comment even that his hair is messy.

Hortensia @ 01/27/2009 at 2:12 pm

There is a great interview of Danei Radcliffe here:

http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2009-01-26/dirty-harry/1/

I would have put this on the Radcliffe site, but JJ has not updated that in ages and nobody goes there. This is too good to miss so I put the link here. Dan is really quite special.

Why does this guy look so sad and serious recently, he is young, rich and successfull.And Reese, what on earth is she wearing, she looks like a hobbit,…nobody sober would leave the house looking like that.

Hortensia @ 01/27/2009 at 8:13 pm

Jake is not so young anymore, is not I think all that rich and is not successful enough to be listed in the top 100 celebrities. He has lots of fans who think he is “hot” but otherwise he is no great winner. Reese would be a good wife because she could support him. LOL

Sam,

I´ve never seen Reese wearing hat like in this pic.
Reese has a big head so Jake´s hat fit on her.

He is not that rich, look at the old jumper and T-shirt and what about the boots that he wears almost with everything, this guy hasn’t bought clothes for years and now that he is next to grumpy old Reese, he doesn’t even have to make the effort to dress well, no matter what he wears, he will look better than her, anyone would.Yep!

Yep Jay that’s real Saggitarius… man with style… :)))
No matter what he wears… it suits him more than good…

Hortensia @ 01/28/2009 at 5:44 am

Jakey is being interviewed for jury duty. If he has any brains he won’t be serving. All you have to do to get dismissed is to tell the judge you are full of prejudices, such as that you would believe anything a policeman says, just because he is a policeman and that you detest defense attorneys who are all liars. A couple remarks like that and you are free to go. LOL

Hortensia @ 01/28/2009 at 5:47 am

Another good way to avoid jury duty is to get a doctor to say that you have “daytime somnolence” meaning that you fall asleep easily. Judges don’t like jurors who fall asleep so that is always a good “out”. LOL

Hortensia @ 01/28/2009 at 5:54 am

I am always amazed how people stupidly get themselves forced into jury duty. Almost all people when asked if they have any prejudices, say no they don’t. That they are completely impartial and have no preconceptions. That’s a sure way to get roped into jury duty. So stupid.

Hortensia
We don’t have jury….. all decisions is bring by judge and his assistants.
We have defender on one side and prosecutor on the other side and of course accused… lawsuit can be public, but also accused can choose privacy… death penalty doesn’t exist.

Just one simple question please … how American courts choose people for jury, did he elect him among citizens… or people just arrive and login..

are bring…..
elect them…..
Sorry still learning :))))

Jake Gyllenhaal is verz stupidy too! Imagine a young men whose must spare his time as babysitter and go to bed with a women with celulites and ugly!
What a prostitute men with this awful addition must do to receive money of old woman!
We have only one life!

Hortensia @ 01/28/2009 at 5:00 pm

Juries in the US are chosen from the population in general, of adult age. You are in the pool of people if you are registered to vote. Then you are chosen by lot (random selection). You then must appear at the court to be examined by the judge who will preside over the trial. This is called the Voire Dire (I think that is the term, not absolutely sure). The judge will ask you if you have any “prejudices” that might prevent your giving an impartial opinion. You need to say that you do not and are impartial in all respects. Then twelve people are selected and they listen to the evidence presented at trial and when the sides have finished they retire and come to a decision. Of course some trials in the US involve only a judge or a panel of judges but many important cases require a jury. A decision by ordinary citizens is thought to be more valid than one by judges alone in many respects. The problem is that ordinary citizens can be stupid or easily duped and make bad decisions. This is how O J Simpson was exonerated when he was obviously clearly guilty of murder.

Hortensia @ 01/28/2009 at 5:07 pm

The story said that Jake was interviewed by the judge in private. I presume this was so his answers would not be made public and possibly embarrass him. I am surprised that he didn’t have some way of avoiding this but perhaps he is public spirited enough to think he should serve. Of course we don’t know if he has been chosen for jury duty. He might have used some argument or whatever to get out of it. I would be very very surprised if he were to serve on a jury. It might disrupt the trial, that is to say, too many paps in court constantly taking his picture, etc., etc.

Here is the story missed by JJ:

Hollywood actor JAKE GYLLENHAAL is facing jury service in Los Angeles as part of an upcoming misdemeanour battery trial. The star was seen checking in at an L.A. court on Tuesday (27Jan09) as part of the jury selection process.
Gyllenhaal was allowed to go through voir dire, court questioning to determine juror suitability, in a private room, according to TMZ.com.
The 28-year-old will return to court on Wednesday (28Jan09) to find out whether he has been picked.
Madonna was considered for jury service in the city last year (08), but was dismissed by the judge during the selection process.
Actors Forest Whitaker and Don Cheadle also managed to escape the civic duty, while Steve Carell was elected to serve on a jury during an employment dispute case in January last year (08).

I suspect Jake, like most celebrities, doesn’t much like being trapped in hum drum everyday situations of the sort that most people have to put up with. Hence his kicking the shins (?) of the pap who tried to talk to him outside the courthouse. I presume he made it clear to the judge that his being selected would be disruptive to the trial. Or he was dismissed for some other reason we will never learn about.

This site TMZ is irritant! I hate it.

Jury can be totally wrong … but they are Vox Populi…
It is very hard when accused has to give his life to twelve people who have to choose about his destiny.. without even knowing a law.

X avoid TMZ…. Just like i do… :))))

But TMZ was the only site to have the info about Jake and the jury. We got a chance to see Jake be angry and mean. Makes him more human.

Hortensia @ 01/29/2009 at 6:29 am

It is interesting to note that Jake was so irritated that when he went to go into the building he pushed on the door. But he should know by now that all exit doors in the USA open from the inside out (in case of fire so people can easily get out) and not the other way. This made him even more angry and he took it all out on the pap who was taking pictures of him. LOL

Hortensia @ 01/29/2009 at 6:35 am

My guess is that he was going into the building after the one hour lunch break they give people and since he was downtown in LA he had to go to some lousy restaurant like McDonalds and that was what put him in a bad mood. I don’t think Jake likes to eat where the masses eat and if he has to he’s not in a good mood afterward.

I watched TMZ video only for you Hortensia… :)))
Jake was really annoyed by paps… and that thing with doors… it happen to me all the time…:))) He has right to be in bad mood, these paps push camera literally into his face…

I wonder how Jakey got out of jury duty. Maybe he read my suggestions and took my advice. LOL

Maybe Hortensia :))
Jake smile … lawsuits can be really frustrating, you save yourself… :)))

I`m am so envious of Reese. She`s is so god damn lucky. I can`t belive they might be getting married :`( Ahh, why is Jake so hot? lol.
