The Gyllenhaals Do Paris, France

Family vacay
Monday, June 15th, 2009

Here are a few cute pics of Jake Gyllenhaal with his older sister Maggie Gyllenhaal and her hubby Peter Sarsgaard chillin’ out and shopping together at the Saint-Ouen flea market on a lazy afternoon in Paris, France over the weekend:


These days it’s pretty rare to see Jakey poo out with anyone other than his ladylove Reese Witherspoon but he managed to wrestle himself away from her presence in order to spend time fraternizing with his sister and her husband for an afternoon. It looks like a very nice and relaxing afternoon with family … and hey, any photos of Jake sans Reese are winners in my book :)

Maggie Gyllenhaal & Peter Sarsgaard Got Hitched!

GyllenGaard make it official!
Monday, May 4th, 2009

After getting together back in 2002, getting quietly engaged in early 2006 and having their first child together (Ramona) later that same year, longtime couple Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard finally tied the knot this past weekend in a small wedding ceremony in Brindisi, Italy with family and friends in attendance. Here are a couple pics of the happy couple on their wedding day this past Saturday and some deets about their surprise nuptials. They got hitched, y’all:


Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard made it official on Saturday: The longtime couple, who have a daughter together, tied the knot in a romantic wedding in Italy. “We are happy to confirm that Maggie and Peter were married on Saturday, May 2,” the actress’s rep said in a statement to PEOPLE. The celebration took place in a small chapel in Brindisi, according to European news reports. Among the guests were Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon … In March, Gyllenhaal celebrated her impending nuptials with a bridal shower attended by friends, including Witherspoon, a source tells PEOPLE. Gyllenhaal, 31, and Sarsgaard, 38, are parents to daughter Ramona, 2 ½. The couple announced their pregnancy and engagement exclusively to PEOPLE in 2006 after being together for more than four years. The pair costarred in 2003’s In God’s Hands, a low-budget feature produced by Steven Soderbergh.

I have to say that I really believed that GyllenGaard was one of those couples (like Brangelina, for instance) that I never thought would get hitched. They seemed like the kind of couple that seemed totally uninterested in legalizing their relationship and were happy with their own personal commitment to one another. A three year engagement is a long one … I’m happy to know that they finally decided to go thru with their wedding. While it’s very nice that Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon were in attendance at his sister’s nuptials, I hope they didn’t get any funny ideas from the ceremony. In any event, much love and congrats goes out to the happy couple! May they live a long and healthy life together in happily wedded bliss!

Jake Gyllenhaal Spends Quality Time With Niece Ramona

Uncle Jakey poo!
Friday, March 27th, 2009

Here are a few photos of Jake Gyllenhaal with his older sister Maggie Gyllenhaal and her daughter (his niece) Ramona enjoying some quality playtime together at a playground in Central Park in NYC recently and then out for lunch together at Ammo restaurant here in LA just this past Wednesday:


Curiously, we don’t usually get to see many photos of Jakey poo playing with or even carrying his niece Ramona very much. The little girl has grown so much, she’s a big kid now, and to my recollection these are among the first photos that I’ve seen of Jake with Ramona (I’m pretty certain we’ve never seen Jake with Ramona alone babysitting … mama Maggie is always present). I’m sure they spend a lot of time together often but nosomuch in public. Perhaps the time that Jake has spent in the company of Reese Witherspoon’s children has got him interested in hanging out with as many kids as possible. Might there be a little Jakey poo in the near future? In any event, I’m sure Jake is a great uncle and it’s cute to see him with kids … tho, I’m not sure I’m ready to see him with his own kids … not with Reese anyways … but mebbe someday. ‘Til then, I’m just fine seeing Jake with other people’s kids … even if it is every once in a blue moon.

‘The Dark Knight’ Premieres In Japan

Worldwide domination continues
Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

Christian Bale (with his beautiful wife Sibi by his side), Maggie Gyllenhaal, Aaron Eckhart and director Christopher Nolan were all on hand at the Tokyo International Forum in Tokyo yesterday for the Japanese premiere of Batman: The Dark Knight. Here are a few pics from the red carpet arrivals at yesterday’s premiere:


First, I think it’s amazing seeing Christian Bale smiling again. He looks so happy … even tho I’m sure that the memory of his recent embarrassing incident with his estranged family members is still fresh in his mind, he looks great — as if he’s already moved well beyond that dark incident. I think it’s pretty safe to say that The Dark Knight is pretty much on track to fully conquer the world. It’s already well on it’s way to becoming the most successful film in US box office history (it looks like the Titanic is going to sink again) and is also proving to be a big hit all around the world. I’m anxious to get back to the States to see it again … next time, on IMAX. And the TDK juggernaut rolls on …

‘The Dark Knight’ Premieres In The UK

Batman comes to Great Britain
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

Batman: The Dark Knight had its UK premiere at Odeon Leicester Square in London, England last night where the principal stars (including Christian Bale, who has been since arrested for alleged assault against his mother and sister) came out for the event. Here are a few pics from the red carpet arrivals last night:


It’s hard to not think about the allegations against Christian Bale right now, especially when looking at photos of the man. In any event, everyone looked great on the red carpet … Maggie Gyllenhaal especially looked great in her sexy black dress. Here are a few pics of some of the other celebs who came out for the premiere:


As always, it’s nice to see the McFly boys out and about and how about that Kelly Osbourne. The girl see-saws between lookin’ really tragic to lookin’ really good — she looks pretty amazing these days, I think. I’m not sure what Ne-Yo was doing at the premiere (it’s a pretty random sighting) but I’m sure a good time was had by all. I am very much looking forward to hearing what folks in the UK and Europe think about The Dark Knight. After setting 8 box office records here in the US last weekend, I’m curious to see how the rest of the world will receive the film.

‘Batman: The Dark Knight’ Premieres In NYC

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008

Batman: The Dark Knight held it’s first premiere, a black carpet event, at the AMC Loews Lincoln Center in NYC last night. All of the principal stars of the movie were in attendance (many of them matched up with their partners) including members of the late Heath Ledger’s family (who opted out of talking to any press as they walked the carpet). Here are a few pics from the black carpet arrivals at last night’s premiere:


There were lots of jubilant smiles and happy faces … it’s nice that the stars of The Dark Knight can celebrate their new movie (reportedly a tour de force for Heath Ledger) without having to cast any mournful sadness on the event over the loss of Heath Ledger. After the jump, check out more pics from the black carpet arrivals at the movie premiere and a few photos of some of the attendees at the movie’s afterparty at the Mandarin Oriental

We’re A Happy Family

Friday, June 27th, 2008

Here are a few sickeningly adorable photos of mommy Maggie Gyllenhaal, daddy Peter Sarsgaard and their daughter Ramona out for a little stroll earlier this week in Venice, CA. Clearly, Ramona is having the time of her life as she rides atop her daddy’s shoulders:


Seriously, these are the cutest pics ever. Ramona, who will be 2 years old this October, has gotten so big! I’m just shocked at how fast these little celeb babies grow up. She looks relatively well-adjusted … well, for a 1 1/2 year old. Anyways, Maggie will be starring as Rachel Dawes in the upcoming Batman sequel The Dark Knight (taking over for Katie Holmes who originated the role in Batman Begins) so we can expect to see her on the promo circuit and on red carpets all over the place very soon. It’s nice that she’s able to spend this time with her family before the promo whirlwind kicks into gear. Oh, happy day!
