HEY, LOOK! JAKE'S HOME!

And the paps have found him already. Surprise, surprise! And also, damn, Jake, did France make you hotter or something? You're looking particularly studly carrying around that bottle of Coca-Cola.

I was trying to make us look good by putting up the poem below and then due to my own greedy bandwidth usage I sort of screwed up our efforts at intellectualism. But, it's all better now! I put up these pictures earlier to distract you from my raging incompetance as a poetry publisher and...yeah. I found it personally impossible to just send them off to wherever electronic photos go when you hit the "delete" button. So now we have two posts. And everyone's happy. I hope.




Photos from JustJared.

UPDATE: Some more random tidbits...

1. New FreshLook disposable color contact lenses has issued this clever press release with an exciting ranking of celebrity eyes. But they put Jake at number 4. Um, pu-leeze. This is a clear example of why Jake Watchers should always be doing the voting.

2. Regarding the never-ending speculation on Jake-as-Lance, check here and here.

3. An exciting discovery been made over at IHJ in the form of this:
Yes, Jake has his very own Livestrong bike...with his name on it! For the name thing alone, it's better than any bike I've ever owned in my entire life.

New sunglasses, the 10/2 hat (courtesy of Lance), the LiveStrong bracelet is back in full effect and he's rocking the serious spandex. If Jake is planning to play Lance in a movie then damn, he sure is methody.

Anonymous said...

What is the 10/2 hat?

Anonymous said...

I'm not 100% sure but it's the date that Lance first found out he had cancer (October 2nd) and then he made like a brand or logo out of it with Nike.

Anonymous said...

Very methody. Wonder what he is thinking now.

Anonymous said...

If Jake is methody, I'm thinking he needs to star in a movie where he falls in love (and lust!) with a woman in Minnesota who is 12 years his senior.

It'd be a struggle, but I could sure help out with that methody stuff...

Are his knees scraped?

he's back - and multitasking!!!

wow. you know, he must've been travelling for hours to get back from la france and yet he's capable of that. ooh.

you know, i really hope the media’s dead wrong about this lance biopic story. it does not sound at all like something jake should be involved in—he can do so much better! i’m hopeful that this was just another case of the news media taking one article’s speculation out of context and running wild on the reporting, cuz there have been no official confirmation of any kind from jake’s or lance’s people. as for the rumor that jake’s riding so much because he’s training for a movie, i have this theory that this rumor resulted from people misinterpreting an early article. the article mentioned that jake had started riding in preparation for “a movie”—it wasn’t mentioned, but i think maybe that movie was jarhead. i recall articles during jarhead promo where he described his training for it, which included riding __ miles a day (i forget the # but it was high). i think the biking with lance and matthew m. thing is purely recreational... anyway, that is my hope, which i admit is biased (i love all jake pics, but i’m even sick of the matt m. and lance…)

that said, i will now contradict myself and direct you to popsugar.com, which has better pics of jake and matthew. haha. i posted this on maggie's poem thread, but i think it belongs here.

^^^ EVERYTHING will give you cancer. Studies come out every day saying this or that causes this cancer or that cancer. I think more often than not, things just happen.

cina said...

Oh yes PG, we're happy. We're VERY happy...! :-D

Damn the man - I think France DID make him hotter! I'm almost speechless. *thud*

@Katie - yes, I think those are the same sunglasses he wore in the "Head&Shoulders" pics, and me likes. Oh me likes! A LOT!!

abbey said...

I nearly lost my breath when I saw the pics on popsugar. He is one fine man, truly breathtaking.....

Nothing Really Matters said...

So Jake was out riding again with Matthew!

More riding picks up.

The Real Me said...

horrah! jake's return.. *swoon*

was starting to get a bit worried then...
bless.

Anonymous said...

Thanks for the pics, PG!

Here is an article from Nikki Finke about Jake and how in demand he is, yet he seems to be so attached to only this biopic. I love Jake and want him to do well and have lots of great chances to show how great an actor he is. I just don't get this whole Lance biopic thing if so many move makers want him? Why would he limit himself to this questionable project? :(

Agnes said...

Yes PG I'm Very happy :D and is it a new T-shirt on him?

Agnes said...

And the arms in the second picture *Thud*

You know, at some point, I guess I just have a lot of confidence that whatever he does, Jake will make the right decision. I mean, if Jake had told me he was thinking about doing this movie about a giant rabbit who is the imaginary friend of a psycho kid, I would have said...ummmm... maybe you want to rethink this....LOL! The whole process of reading for roles and negotiating and going through scripts and coordinating scheduling for shoots is time-consuming and cumbersome. I think I would go mad! Waiting is hard. So, I'm guesssing that maybe Jakey is staying active not only bcz he enjoys it, but bcz it helps pass the time. I'm just SO happy he's home and harmony has been restored to my solar system.He's just so...beautiful. I'm crying as I type this.

moonbeams, that's brilliant! though we all have our preferences for jake's next project, it must be tough for jake to make these tough decisions, and ultimately he knows his career best so i'll trust and support whatever he chooses. until anything's confirmed, though, i'll try not to get my panties in a bundle- hehe is that the right expression?

Nothing Really Matters said...

I think Jake's next project should be PG!

Anonymous said...

Man those shorts are tight! Swoon!

Anonymous said...

smurfette i agree with everything you said...

On another note Jake is looking even more gorgeous then ever,if that's possible.Love his hair,bod,clothes,facial scruff,you name it.I love it.

About jake playing Lance... I think it must be very tempting to have an opportunity to play someone who has been an inspiration for you. Aside for the lack of sympathy Lance seem to gain around, I think his story is VERY inspirational. Because of his upbringing and personal temperament he has gained the reputation of 'arrogant' 'self-centered'. I have to say I watched his press conference in France (stage 15), and I did not find him arrogant in the least. Very self-confident YES, but not arrogant. He does not come across as 'sweet' or 'emotional' but perhaps he is not as 'bad' either... I have great confidence in Jake being good at choosing roles and friends!

As for the pics with MM ... Jake looks so beautiful that make MM look like nothing more than ... his beefy uncle. Who is the sexiest man alive? Who?

Becky Heineke said...

I think Jake's next project should be PG!

HA! I agree. In fact, all of Jake's upcoming projects should be PG! :) Katie, I didn't mean to knock your source. I just didn't want to turn this into a Lance-bashing session. But regarding the movie...I'm on the fence. I gotta go with moonbeams on this one. All of Jake's movies seem a little weird at first, but he has yet to disappoint. More power to him!

Becky Heineke said...

Plus! If he plays a real person, he gets Oscar bonus points. Voters love a good imitator. Not that that's Jake's motivation (far from it, I'm sure), but the chance of seeing him get a big award like that is enough to get my support. OK, I'm going to stop the multi-posting now.

Here's the pap video from that day: http://www.splash-video.com/index2.pgi

I felt kinda sad watching it though cuz at the end you can see all these people staring at them (although I don't blame them) but its still pretty bad

Anonymous said...

Mmm,i agree.Who was saying watch out three times over.Was that Jake or a stupid pap cos he didn't want that boy getting in the way of the shot?And as for Matthew how dumb can you get.He didn't even have the door unlocked for him so he could make a quick get away.Jeez,what a life.It's like a animal in the zoo being stared at and surrounded.

"beefy uncle" hahaha... anon, that's the best line today ;).

ooh, more details/discussion on the pap vid are welcom, i have no audio

Miffed67 said...

HOLY MARY SWEET MOTHER OF CHRIST!


Man, I pick the BEST times to go away on vacation, huh? Hardly ANY Jake news for weeks and then he decides to get a life. Dammit. Otoh....if I'm going to be coming back to stuff like THIS....maybe I'll go away more often!

Jess said...

Welcome back, miffed!! Hope you had a great vacation!

And yes, Jakey poo has kept us all quite busy these days! :-D

Last thing. Jake does look hotter and more gorgeous than ever. It's almost too much to bear. I'm feeling slightly light-headed here..

Anonymous said...

smurfette i watched it again.Yes i feel guilty,but i wanted to hear what those scum bag paps were saying.They were really sarcastic when he came out the coffee shop and was waiting with his back to them,they were going like oh,look at him,turn around.I'm glad he kept his back to them.And it was Jake saying to some boy about to cross his path,he said three times watch out,because he wanted to get in the car and then he said you going to open this car today or what to Matthew.He was laughing when he said it.I can't remember word for word but it was along those lines.Some women were shouting out to Matthew continously saying they were from texas.So what?...lol.Hope that helps.What a pain you can't hear it?

How cool is that bike!

It's aweful that they have to deal with that stuff every day, but I can't help getting all giddy from seeing him doing everyday normal stuff like standing in line for some fast food.

Those ladies were kinda embarrassing though... hrm.

cina said...

I meant "AWFUL" of course...

cina said...

Btw, that sadle doesn't look very comfortable.... Jake, be careful with the family jewels ok?

Anna said...

LOL, Cina, that's what the padding is for. ;)

cina said...

Where's the padding in THAT sadle?? LOL!

Anonymous said...

I don't think there's nearly enough discussion of those spandex shorts going on here. I mean...
duh-amn!! Well, I personally can't discuss as my thoughts are all x-rated, but still.

Anna said...

LOL, Cina! I hate to disappoint you, but the padding is in the biking shorts - it's not all him... ;D

cina said...

Hehehe... check the HQ version of this one:

That last one has me gasping for air. Damn he's GORGEOUS!!

cina said...

@Anna: LOLOL!! You seem to know an awful lot about biking! As you may have noticed - I don't. ;-)
Haha!

Anna said...

Look at those arms! I love well defined triceps...

Anna said...

Cina - I only know what I learned on the Eyelashes earlier tonight. :D

Anonymous said...

I trust Jakey, but my general feelings about a Lance-biopic are if it's done at all it should be a made for TV movie...and IMVHO, that wouldn't include Jake. There are so many compelling sports stories that are viable, I think the timing for a LA story is off right now. Maybe Jake's preparing for a role involving cycling not necessarily LA biopic. Saw the video. The girl in the brown dress talking to Matt reminded me of an actor. She looked familiar. Jake didn't seem to mind the gawker fans too much, but I'm glad he didn't speak to the razzi. Matt is such a devil! Locking him out of the car! I think I'll go ride my bike for a while. It's like a sauna outside. Maybe some of this too too solid flesh will melt...I have spandex, but you will never see me in it! Right now, I'm
20 lbs. away from spandex!LOL!

Anonymous said...

Live strong bike, Livestrong hat, Livestrong bike shorts, Livestrong bracelet, AND a yellow shirt!! Do you guys think this "hanging out with Lance" thing is turning into an obsession? He must be a really cool guy in person for Jake to want to spend so much time with him and suddenly wear his brand all the time. At least I hope he is a really cool guy if Jake likes him so much!

cina said...

^^ Yeah, Matt locking Jake out of the car had me laughing out loud, and Jake too it seemed. LOL!

Elena said...

Now I have more evidence of Jake made out of wood:
Robusts thighs

Anonymous said...

Matt probably had the doors locked to keep the fans out.

Elena said...

I meant here: Robusts thighs

Anonymous said...

Did Jake's hair get a little lighter while he was outside in the sun, or is it just the exposure of the picture that makes the overall image lighter?

Anonymous said...

^^"spandex clad, splendorous masculinity" - yep, that about sums it up! He's glorious.

Anonymous said...

thanks for the synopsis anon. yeah, my laptop audio sux, loudest setting only at a whisper.

ugh, why are the paps always so mean to jake? he's such a nice guy, why can't they play nice? grr...

p.s. i love how jake drinks real coke, not diet as one would expect an image conscious HW guy to :). so manly haha...

Anonymous said...

nice annoymous i think his hair looks lighter as well.Sunkissed and beautiful.Mmm.

Anonymous said...

I'm glad he was drinkin' regular instead of diet!!! You know, I worry about what all this biking might do to his body. I don't want him getting too lean and wirey.I love his body just the way it is.
My reference point is the shirtless pics of Jakey rinsing off after a swim, walking on the beach in his "signature" blue trunks, or playing baseball. I LOVE that body. IMO, I think with his frame, he needs to not get too lean.

JadziaDragonRider said...

Aww it's nice to see Jakey all bearded running around in panties and slippers. Hee

He does look damn good and I dont' ride bikes but I WANT that one!

Anonymous said...

I agree, moonbeams, I would hate to see Jake too thin - his body is perfect just the way it is. I hate that Hollywood look - too thin, too blond, too much surgery, too phoney. Jake is beautiful and natural and real - gorgeous face and hunky manly body. Don't change a thing!

mrs_dalloway said...

Ha! That's so hilarious!A personalised bike! Maybe now he has signed for a contract with Nike..it's everywhere!Not that I'm complaining..that spandex looks better and better on this man..and him drinking Coke for refreshing..that's my damned fantasy come true!!well,almost..there's something missing...me!..yeah..will solve it eventually :))

The Real Me said...

I have to be honest here, being an avid cyclist and cyclist fan, I AM SO ENVIOUS of his bike!!!!

That bike would be worth so much, it's got top of the range everything!!! BLAH..

cina said...

Did anyone else catch the comment the paps made about the girl approaching Jake waiting for his food? "Sign her tits, Jake, sign her tits! Hahaha!"

I mean, what the fuck is that? Is it so wrong for a fan to approach a celebrity like that? Hell I would, but I sure as hell wouldn't want him to sign my tits, that's for sure. Such a chauvinist comment. Disgusting.

mrs_dalloway said...

I can't watch those pap videos without feeling sick about'em. They're really thick-skinned and taking advantage of the modesty and good sense of Jake.

Hey, he even has matching socks!:))

Anonymous said...

I AM SO ENVIOUS of his bike!!!!

Oh, indeed, because he mounts it and rests himself upon its saddle, hunches over it & works all his beautifully honed muscles to make it go, to become one with it. While also gripping its handlebars until he's white-knuckled. [Dear God!] Perhaps a little drop of his sweat splashes down upon it as he's working over it.

I'd like to be his bike, too!

Still wondering if Jake has come late to the pleasures of athleticism, since he may not have been a jock while in prep school -- and is a little more fanatical as a result. I think that building himself up into his "Jarhead" body was a difficult but important experience for him. That he liked concentrating on honing his body like that. He liked the focus of it. (And hell, he must know how good he looks when he's in excellent shape.) And now he's really into the rather Zen-like state of being extremely physical. That's what he's learning from Lance & from "being" Lance. That extreme concentration with a goal of excellence. So if he learns from this experience, I'm okay with this movie role, because I think it's helping him explore another aspect of his own personality.

Thanks, Joyce. I'm rather proud of being an X-rated poet. (That will give me something to smile about secretly during my day at the office. Fridays are so damn loooong.) I do enjoy giving voice to what we're all secretly thinking. ;-)

Maybe Prophecy Girl will be kind to us & post that picture where Jake's lying on top of that surfboard, propping himself up on his elbows. **That** one also really gets my imagination going in libidinous directions.

Oh, this particular collection of papparazzi pictures is full of truly inspiring images.

There's one rearview picture where Jake's bending over at the waist and one can estimate nearly approximately the weight & mass of his Gyllenhaal family inheritance.

Then there's another picture in which he's lying prone atop the board (which I've just tried to send to Prophecy Girl). When you see the latter picture, you'll wish fervently that you were a flat piece of inanimate matter, just to have Jake positioned over you, exactly as he is in the picture.

One brief afternoon of beachgoing fun for Jake = a lifetime's worth of fantasies for the numerous visitors to this site & IHeartJake & the Dave Cullen forum.
