Jake to play Joe Namath
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 and Jake’s romantic weekend
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 and Jessica to co-star?
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.
Reese and Jake’s spooky PDA
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.”
