Universal Pictures will turn the life of Joe Namath into a feature film, with Jake Gyllenhaal playing the Hall of Fame quarterback. The movie will tell the story of how the golden-armed kid became Broadway Joe, the New York Jets quarterback who became a 60s cultural figure. The handsome non-conformist became a sensation on the fields, in nightclubs and on Madison Avenue as the first star to become a magnet for commercials. "Most of the stuff you saw in Forest Gump, Joe lived through all of it," said the executive producer. He witnessed the struggle for civil rights in Alabama, the sexual revolution and Vietnam.

Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal spent a romantic few days in Napa Valley, California, last weekend. On November 10, Gyllenhaal and Witherspoon checked in to a private house with a rooftop jacuzzi at the exclusive Carneros Inn. Over the weekend, they relaxed and enjoyed each other's company, taking in a couple's massage, dinner, and a laid-back morning picnic. "They looked like they didn't have a care in the world," says a witness. "Reese looked like she was in heaven!"

Jake Gyllenhaal and Jessica Biel in talks to star in the risque political satire "Nailed." Biel would play Sammy Joyce, a socially awkward small-town receptionist who has a nail accidentally shot into her head by a clumsy workman, eliciting wild sexual urges. The uninsured Joyce goes on a crusade to Washington to fight for the rights of the bizarrely injured, where she meets an immoral congressman (Gyllenhaal) who takes advantage of her sex drive and capitalizes on her crusade. The flick is being co-written by Al Gore's daughter, Kristin Gore, and David O. Russell.
Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon had another PDA-packed public date Wednesday, taking Witherspoon's two children, Ava, 8, and Deacon, 4, trick or treating in LA's Brentwood neighborhood. Witherspoon was dressed as a witch; Gyllenhaal as an ape. "They were holding hands and swinging them in the air as they walked around the neighborhood," says a witness, who added that Gyllenhaal often lifted up his gorilla mask to smooch his Rendition co-star. "Reese was laughing at everything Jake was saying." As Ava (also in a witch costume) and Deacon (a superhero) ran up to every door for treats, "Reese and Jake waited on the sidewalk and flirted," the onlooker says. "Jake tapped Reese on the butt and then she hit him back - they began running in a circle hitting each other!" the witness reports. "Sometimes he came up from behind and nuzzled his big hairy mask into her neck."

Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal have been doing a pretty good job of keeping their reported romance under wraps, but were photographed by paparazzi this week meeting up for a little rendezvous. The couple arrived separately at a house in Venice and after spending a few hours inside, each left in their own car. Hmm....this doesn't really prove much, but anyway.
Reese Witherspoon's rumored new guy is none other than Zodiac hottie Jake Gyllenhaal. After getting to know each other on the set of Rendition, the pair have recently taken their friendship to the next level. "In the last month, they've been spending a lot more time together," says a source close to Gyllenhaal. "Jake really likes her and isn't at all concerned that she has two kids." Witherspoon and Gyllenhaal were spotted looking cozy on March 23 at Hollywood's Il Sole restaurant. "They were cuddling," said a fellow diner. "It looked very playful." A week later, Witherspoon was seen picking up takeout at The Clay Pit while Gyllenhaal waited in the car. "When she came back out to the car, he got out and opened the door for her and was shielding his face so no one would see him," said an observer. The new couple are definitely taking things slow, according to a source close to Witherspoon. "[Reese] is still very, very hurt by Ryan and it will take a long time to get over that," says the source. "[But she and Jake] have a mutual interest. they are taking it slow and getting to know each other."
Jake Gyllenhaal may be trading in his cycling spandex for tights of a different kind - the Zodiac star is rumored to be favored to play superhero Captain Marvel in Shazam! Sources say the film's producers are eager to hand Gyllenhaal the part.

Jake Gyllenhaal demonstrated a bizarre fascination with white brief underwear on a recent trip to Bloomingdale's. An employee at the department store watched Gyllenhaal "combing through every style" of men's underwear with a salesperson. "A good ten minutes later, Jake was still at it," says the eyewitness. "Holding up a pair of tight white briefs that he'd pulled out of the package to examine, as if he'd never seen tighty whities before in his entire life. It was hilarious. He looked very confused and had a furrowed brow... He was examining undies like an anthropologist in the city's most highly trafficked department store."
Jake Gyllenhaal has been honored with the title of "male celebrity we most wish were gay" in a poll on Gay.com, winning a whopping 45% of half a million votes. "We blame Ang Lee - if the Brokeback Mountain director hadn't cast the lean, dreamily dark-eyed Jake as hopeless romantic Jack Twist, and then put him in that sexy shearling coat, and then made him say the line, 'We could have had a good life' with such heartbreaking sincerity, we might not have fallen in love with him. Now, it's too late," claims the site. Gyllenhaal was followed by Ryan Phillippe and Wentworth Miller. Other winners in the poll were The Devil Wears Prada for favorite film, JT's SexyBack as best song, The Colbert Report for fav TV show, and Stephen Colbert himself was voted person of the year. "...Stephen Colbert is one of those people who's making jokes about gay people in a non-homophobic way," said a rep from PlanetOut. Quote of the year was Brad Pitt's statement about the possibility of a wedding between he and Angelina Jolie - "Angie and I will consider tying the knot when everyone else in the country who wants to be married is legally able."
