Going Down the Rabbit Hole (Once Again) with Jake Gyllenhaal


Imagine the surprise of many Jake Gyllenhaal fans when news broke on Thursday, October 5 that he was joining up with Calvin Klein for their Eternity fragrance line [see previous post: Love, Family, Intimacy for Jake Gyllenhaal - That Sounds About Right  ].
But now upon further perusing, noseying, and poking around as we at Narnia are prone to do, it's amazing what comes up. So let's get right to it because there are signs there very well could be a bit more catch to this "cologne" campaign than a mere stray dryer sheet between Jake and his Calvin Klein's.



Or do you think this one is better?  I think I'm torn between "pretends to be" and "is finally" a Dad.


 

But enough of that.  Rather than get all kinds of cheeky and carried away with Giphy, Narnia is going to just lay out some bullet points of what we have found today, if that's all right with you.

• Jake's co-star of the ad campaign is an Ethiopian born model by the name of Liya Kebede. Her Twitter Profile of Liya Kebede says she is a model, mother, actress, maternal health advocate.  Entrepreneur.  So, finding it interesting that she was already a mother, we decided to do some further Googling. And what did we find?

• Because it is interesting that she's a mother, right? Yet posing as a member of a new family with Jake. So we'll check it out.  Well, look at this.  So you Google "Liya Kebede and family" and one of the top stories?  Via an obscure site called "Bossip", this story appears on the first Google search page: "Model's Split From Husband Finally Made Public" - Page Six 
The date of the article actually entitled "New Swirl Couple???  Is Jake Gyllenhaal Getting It In With Ethiopian Model Banger Liya Kebede???" is May 15, 2015 and originates from Page Six.  Bossip source



Liya Kebede — who’s having a major moment as the first black model to grace the cover of Paris Vogue in five years, and is a favorite of hot Louis Vuitton designer Nicolas Ghesquière — has quietly separated from her hedge-under husband Kassy Kebede.

Liya, 37 — the Ethiopian-born beauty who has been a World Health Organization goodwill ambassador and has her own clothing line, Lemlem — wed Kebede in 2000. He runs Panton Capital Group and previously helped create Deutsche Bank’s global-markets division.

The couple has two kids. But a source close to the model tells us they’ve been separated “for two years — it’s never been written about.”

Eyebrows were raised in Cannes when Jake Gyllenhaal rushed through a crowd to Kebede at the fest’s opening gala. “Jake focused right in on her,” said a spy.

“They were talking for a long time. It was very flirty, Jake had her laughing.” But his rep said the pair are just friends through a financier of Gyllenhaal’s hit “Source Code.” Liya was in Cannes for L’Oréal with Julianne Moore and Naomi Watts.



Whoa. Wait. What? Huh?  Cannes 2015? But...But...But I thought Cannes 2015 was all about Jake with Sienna Miller and Xavier Dolan?  We at Narnia have just about scratched our skulls down to bone marrow trying to remember this Liyah Cannes2015 story, how about you other longtime Gyllenhaal fans? 



• Let's check our emails in 2015.  M&M, do you see anything? Anything on "Liya Kebede and Jake" in May-June 2015"? Nope.

* PG, anything in your email folders?  Nope.  

* Okay, let's go to Oh My Godot.blogspot. Anything there?  Nope, but then we weren't very active then, to be honest.  
* Okay, let's go to Gyllenbabble.blogspot because they post just about everything on Jake, bar Austin.  ;-)  If it's going to be anywhere....it'll be there.  See anything on Gyllybabble?   Nope.   
* How about Wet, Dark and Wild.blogspot.  You know, the Jake blog that we wrote a two-part series about in August .  Kate kept quite an archive on Jake herself. Nope - there are no entries in 2015, except for the goodbye cruel world post.  More on this later.
* How about Twitter? Maybe there were mentions on Twitter...if we searched Jake Gyllenhaal/Liya Kebede/Cannes 2015?
   Oh.  Nope.


*What about a Twitter search on Page Six/Jake Gyllenhaal/Liya Kebede ?   Oh.  Nope.



* What about Lamey? If anyone was going to be all over any story of Jake and a wo-man, it would be Lamey, aka LaineyGossip: On May 22, she wrote a story about Jake hanging out at Cannes2015, but who did she write about?  Jake and Zoe Kravitz.  So...nope.
"Zoe and Jake" - a Cannes2015 story by Lamey 

* Gossip Cop?  "Nut 'n Honey"  Nope.
* Just Jared?  Does Jake and Sienna Miller count?  lol.  Again - "nut 'n honey"  Nope.
* Okaaay, well, that leaves one other active Jake blog [or should we say the one active Mgmnt-run (since around 2013) Jake blog- Waiting for Toothy2. Did they discuss this Jake/Liya connection in real time?
Well, what do you know?

Nope as Jake's people has already said

May 31, 2015  11:01 am

and another comment followed this one, posting the Page Six story at 11:06 am.  

Perhaps to add another "source", looks like Bossip added a You Tube video which has 845 views and has the same Swirl Title, uploaded by someone named "Dada".  [Get it?  Da-Da? #eyeroll]
Did I mention there were no comments on this YouTube video which was supposedly posted on June 1, 2015?



• The child in the ad is simply known as "Leila, a four year old actress", a convenient age considering according to the elusive Page Six article, Jake and Kebede were already acquainted with each other by May 2015.  And now we learn today from the article that Kebede and her husband had been "quietly" separated for two years already, which translates to 2013.  So we have "Leila with no last name", a name similar to Liya's, is biracial, and is said to be four years old, which puts her birth in 2013

Not only that - but look at the title of Bossip's story. Is that a type-o or a sexually charged subliminal message, "Is Jake Gyllenhaal Getting It In With..." instead of "getting it on"?  " Can you do the math?


via GIPHY 


When you factor in that the new ETERNITY campaign is designed to focus on romance, love, intimacy and commitment, there is certainly more than just suggestive subtext being communicated here. Never mind the personal touch of Jake's admission that he personally collaborated on this project.

• And then to wrap this up, let's take another look at what now turns out to be a suspiciously cryptic "comment" made on Oct 5 by a blogger named "Diana", which I had posted on Narnia on Thursday morning not even realizing just how foreshadowing everything was:


"The photo for the Calvin Klein campaign made me think "if that would only be reality for him soon" right away! Somehow I still hope he´s already found someone and just tries to keep that private for as long as possible."

So many convenient coincidences, don’t you think? The retrospective timeline is especially suspicious and neatly covers up years of Jake not being seen with any wo-man. The year of the promoted “coupling” of Jake and Kebebe supposedly dates back to 2013. And, whey did Jake publicly “break-up” with Alyssa Miller? That’s right. The year was 2013. And, Miller was a model. What a perfect segway for Jake to meet another model and start to date them immediately thereafter. So you see, Jake hasn’t been single all these years. He’s been perfectly heterosexual. Just like his management team wants him to be. This same magic wand was used with Austin Nichols and Sophia Bush back in 2010. In fact, before they officially “broke up” in February, 2012, PR had strategically planted several stories that intentionally transformed a three-year fauxmance into a six year on/off “relationship”. Remember that logic and plot holes mean nothing to pathological liars.

I'm sorry, but the fact that we couldn't find this story anywhere else but Bossip, some hinky looking You Tube video with only 845 views but supposedly posted in 2015, it's just.....wow.

And why is Page Six the only mainstream site that picked up the story and was re-posted by this Bossip? Because frankly, any story involving Jake and a female is all over his twitter search and websites like spilled molasses. Yet you see all of the sources that we tried. Nuttin' Honey. lol.

Page Six, a known PR tool, especially when it comes to Jake.

Should be interesting to continue watching, eh? Where's my lawn chair?

In June, Kedebe had posted on her Instagram a three-part post which said "Staying In Is the New Going Out" which is kind of interesting. Pretty much would sum up why Jake just hasn't seen much and also kind of describes Jake rather well because he really isn't known as a heavy partier. Instagram of Liya Kebede

But, if indeed this is where Jake and his team are headed, they sure didn't think about some of Jake's past timeline faux relationships, ie Ruthie Wilson and all the vacationing with speed dial Greta? Because it was just post-Cannes 2015 that Jake went scooter-riding and pool sunning with Greta. So that wouldn't make much sense. This Bossip story really doesn't mesh at all. It's like something rather hastily put together.

Please realize that by this time, my little brain is...running on fumes.

But does a skull actually have bone marrow? I'm now kind of wondering. It sounded good at the time. LOL! ;D

when your client is hiding his real life, along with his RL hubs, children, and the rest of the commune, ie Big Sis and her daughters, the matriarch, all hiding out overseas....

When you purchase paid twitter accounts at a fire sale, you get what you pay for, ridiculous nonsense like this:

23 years old? Not believable. A weird baby as her header? Not believable. Just so happens to spill all the beans with a planted account? Not believable.


Her tweets are silly. The "plaid shirt and stubble" - tic those boxes! Couldn't get a picture - typical. Her age and that she is all about Jake, not believable either.

But most of all, when this "witness" blabs all the "deets" with a planted account by the name of @AnnaLEB76, that's when I know the whole sighting is fake.

That planted account appeared out of nowhere earlier in the year and struck up a conversation with me, trying to act like she was "mixed" in her feelings about Jake's sexuality. She asked the right questions, acted conflicted and like she understood where I was coming from. I gave her the benefit of the doubt, but it didn't take long to realize she was a snake in the grass.

So now what does her account do? She is used to act as a conversation board for Mgmnt's fake sightings, with the sole purpose of placing Jake somewhere he is not. In this case, London.

Hard to believe this Cleveland/Yankees game is only in the 5th inning! Cleveland is better than the Yankees, yet Corey Kluber couldn't shut NY out. He's like the best in baseball but he couldn't do it tonight.

Baseball is just a weird game. On any given night, anyone can win. Maybe Cleveland can pull it out; still a long way to go yet. This is it - no more tomorrow's.
