We close our 30 day celebration of Jake and Austin pics with another one of the many, many coincidences that may not provide the best of photos, but once the puzzle pieces are interlocked and circumstantial evidence is examined, point to a corroboration of the two being together at a certain moment in time.
Case in point, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard's wedding on May 2, 2009 in a small chapel in Brindisi, Italy.
From the New Yorker:
Peter Sarsgaard and Maggie Gyllenhaal got married this weekend at a hotel in Italy and because of what we can only assume is a systemic, across-the-board tabloid failure, no gossip magazines were there to document the occasion. OK! was not present to take pictures, and no helicopters hovered above the hotel in Italy where Brooklyn’s reigning Bobo celebrities exchanged vows. Thus, we’ve taken it upon ourselves to reimagine what the ceremony must have been like.
Pictured Members of the Wedding Party in the Convent's Garden: Stephen Gyllenhaal, Jake Gyllenhaal (wearing a Fedora), Mystery Man in a similar Fedora and Peter Sarsgaard. Unseen: Supposedly 40 close friends, with another family friend officiating the ceremony.

That hat looks familiar, doesn't it? To the left you see Austin at the Private Lives of Pippa Lee premiere later that year in NY. To the right, that similar shaped chapeau could very well point to Austin being there too, standing next to the groom, Peter Sarsgaard in the courtyard with Jake and his father. The odd height differences no doubt associated with varying ground levels behind the concrete wall. For example, Jake looks far shorter than Stephen Gyllenhaal, in that photo, which is not the case in real life.
How fascinating that Maggie and Peter made sure to have a very quiet, private wedding and yet, the tabloids followed with stories of how even though there were no other celebrities invited to the wedding, or cameras, Reese Witherspoon was there, which means lots and lots of stunt pics followed!!! Supposedly, there were also multiple PDA's between Jake and Reese that weekend. Oh, and Jake's mother was there looking on while they made out. Must be real, if perennial buttinsky, Mommy Dearest is third wheeling it. Of course, no pic of Reese at the wedding ever did surface, although stories like this began to pop up everywhere:
While the focus was on the newlyweds, Reese and Jake managed to find time for their own romance, which included lots of sweet PDAs while spending the afternoon with his mom. We couldn't resist bringing you a peek at their getaway surrounding Maggie and Peter's big day. ~ Pop Sugar
One of Narnia's favorite pics from the tabloid gallery, was entitled..."Lovebirds"
LOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL! Although this "candid" moment was a classic sneak peek into these two's "romantic" weekend, the pic below absolutely screams, LOVED UP COUPLE too.
What needs to be remembered is that this was supposed to be Peter and Maggie's special weekend. Yet, somehow the whole affair became all about Jake and his beard. Almost like some major "Look over here, not over there" razzle dazzle was taking place. Just enough distraction for a certain Fedora-wearing Mystery Man to skedaddle without anyone (except, Oh My Godot) noticing. Moreover, if the other guests were unknowns and family friends, there would be no need for deception and artifice.
For the record, the "inseparable" lovebirds, Reese and Jake "broke up" six months after this "we can't get enough of each other" pap shoot, while Austin and Jake are still together nine years later. Guess those matching hats don't lie.
And so that wraps up our - what's that??? Huh?
Whatcha got there? A bit of extra credit, you say? Well, by all means! Come on down!
Jake and Austin put the rubber to the asphalt on one more occasion back in 2007. Here they are, sporting essential spandex gear to capture all those "curves" in the road. *wink*
Looking good, fellas!!
And so now we can wrap up this burrito of 30 days and 16 years of Jake and Austin; involving five different states and three different countries. We saw the men partake in biking, running, driving, working out, shopping, working, schmoozing, public transit'ing, walking, dining, java'ing, partying, dating, playing, and Laker-ing.
And think about it; that's just what the cameras were privy to. ;-) Thank you all for joining us! And thank you to Jake and Austin, without whom we would have missed out on so much fun.

I felt like Mr Pitt looking at the hologram picture. LOL! But yeah, I do see him. I think I missed this one back when it first came out. Nowadays, these kinds of pics are no longer on IHJ. Jake and his team are so tightly controlling everything about him, that’s why most “papped out and about” pictures are relegated to the ever bulging “fan photos and miscellaneous” album on the once big fansite.
I think IHJ was taken over by his team, and now it is this ghost town, not anything like it once was.
When we were talking about this one over the phone, M & M made a point that back in the day, IHJ bought these photos from the pap agencies. And that it is interesting that this particular photo was shot with such a wide angle. Did the pap know that was Austin standing beside Peter? Very few people in that courtyard and guess who wasn’t in that courtyard? Yup. Ol’ Reese couldn’t get a ticket into that courtyard, but Austin sure could’ve.
I’m still waiting, Reese! Still waiting for that picture. ;-)
Jake has lost nearly all of his old followers/fans. They can see the writing all over the wall. He and his team’s strategy to re-do and re-organize actually ended up killing his entire fandom and they have not been able to get that new rocket to lift off.
It really is like walking thru a ghost town these days because what I see on social media isn’t real. It’s contrived and manufactured. And just these past couple of weeks show that the dinosaur tactics still reside with their strategy. But we’ll still be here. There is a lot to learn and I think in this Trump dictatorship era, it’s very important to keep revealing and unveiling.
We’ll try to get more positive into the posts because that is very important too.
Latest news today was that Jake is going to play Leonard Bernstein in a new movie. He'll produce, play the lead, costume design, screen write, and be the main grip. ;-)
Nooooo, just kidding. But he is going to produce and star. And Cary Fukunaga will direct. He's the same person who filmed a video of Jake singing on the stairs when he was doing SITPWG.
He's also someone who briefly "dated" Michelle Williams. I had no idea on that one. So that kind of sewed that little question up. ;-) Jake's world is so small and you can literally keep connecting the dots over and over and over.
I like the idea of this movie, but I can already see the heavy mearding coming all the way from here in JoCo. Should be something!
Still watching the Royals game as we are in the 13th inning. Bit of a late night! We're ahead but it's already getting precarious.
Those bright lights are blinding me.
Sorry about that, Tom. I thought maybe the mostly dark background would work! I’ll change it back when I get on my laptop. ;D
We had all kinds of turbulent weather last night. Sirens going off, hanging clouds and one touchdown that I know of. The air was incredibly humid yesterday, too.
Got it fixed! ;D Blogger has all these great backgrounds!! But they seem to mess with the mobile phone picture, so it seems the ceiling popcorn background works the best.
How about that old Joe Tex "I Gotcha"?? That song kind of reaches out and grabs you, doesn't it? And "Don't You Stop the Music", wow I haven't heard that one for a long time. That was good stuff.
Working on a new post that we want to put up next and it's just taking a little bit to put together because I'm not as familiar with these individuals. But it'll be fun and I'm excited about it.
Oh, and the avatar? That's Harold Hecuba. If you've ever seen Gilligan's Island, there was an episode where Harold Hecuba landed on the island and was stranded. In the meantime, he helped the castaways put on a production of Hamlet. And when he decides to do the whole production himself, the beginning of the film shows "Directed by Harold Hecuba. Produced by Harold Hecuba. Starring Harold Hecuba. Written by Harold Hecuba. etc." You get the drift. lol. And so that's the perfect avatar for Jake, since he seems to be almost doing it all in his films now.
;-)
