(We’re back with another weekly installment of G.W.W.E. [Guys We Wanna Eff]. This week’s most effable is none other than Jake Gyllenhaal. Sure, he’s all over the tabloids with his serious G.F., Reese Witherspoon, but girlfriends have never stopped us before. Er…I mean…a girl can dream, can’t she?]

Those eyes. That hair. That smile. Those acting skills. It’s a killer combination that leads to one thing: effability. Jake Gyllenhaal has been on our radar since he made his debut in City Slickers. Yeah, we were like 9, but we saw some major potential. And our love has not wavered.

Not even when he did Bubble Boy. Or when he switched teams. Come on; a gay love story? That sensitivity (not to mention, unbelievable acting) only makes us wanna throw him in a tent and eff him more.

We love that he’s a family man, that he’s totally down to earth and that he’s so good to his GF’s kids (but not the fact that he actually has one). We almost died when we heard Jakey was involved in a house fire, but grew even more attached when we heard he helped the homeowner salvage his belongings. And even though he’s been looking a little…shaggy…well, that doesn’t stop our loins from burning. At all.

I mean, look at that body. Has he been working out?!

My god, we’re getting weak in the knees right now. Sorry, Reese – we love you long time, but we’re coming to eff your man.

So there have been some pictures released of Jake Gyllenhaal on the set of his new movie, Prince of Persia.

Alright, I’m not gonna be the dude who writes about Jake G. on the website for women and hates on him. I think Gyllenhaal is a great actor. He throws down pretty hard regardless of part, whether it’s a marine or a gay cowboy or a teen who keeps seeing a rabbit.

I also won’t be the guy who says ‘yeah he looks good, but I mean, I’ve seen better.’ As a heterosexual man, I feel fine saying Jake looks godd*mn HUGE in these new pictures. Respect for putting on that weight and not being afraid to lose all that ‘sweet little boy look’ money.

But, I gotta say something.

This movie is called Prince of Persia.

OF.

PERSIA.

Attention, Hollywood. Ethnicity is not a tan. Even in the game, designed by a western production house, the Prince has a Eurasian vibe going. This isn’t Gyllenhaal’s fault of course, just the casting director’s. Though I can’t help but think that someone as successful as him, who isn’t necessarily desperate for greenbacks or notoriety, could’ve maybe at least considered that this might be a mistake.

The body of Heath Ledger was found today in his Soho home.

From TMZ.com “He was found dead in his bed in one of his residences in Soho by his housekeeper…Law enforcement sources tell TMZ they believe it was not a crime.”

While the official details are yet to be released, it is suspected that he died from a drug overdose. The New York Times is reporting that Heath’s housekeeper and masseuse found the actor a little after 3 pm today, unconscious, with pills nearby.

Heath’s newest movie, The Dark Knight, was scheduled for a May release.

This morning, when my Michigan / OSU weekend hangover finally went away, I came downstairs and found my roommates laying around the living room drinking coffee and sharing stories from their weekend escapades. Note: any normal person would assume we all would know these stories since we spent the weekend together, but it was Michigan / OSU weekend…. Without my digital camera I would have no idea what happened.

It turns out that, while in bed, my roommate’s boyfriend, drunk as a skunk (yes, I just used that phrase) made an interesting request. Anal sex.

Now, this topic may not be as taboo as it used to – perhaps we can thank Brokeback Mountain for that? – but it is still a topic I would rather leave to the porn stars than bring into my bedroom. In fact, I am constantly wondering why so many guys make the request to begin with. I get that it may feel “better.” I also can see how it will really spice up a boring sex life (to which I must respond, “So will doing it in the shower.”).

But after asking around, I confirmed my suspicions as to the real reason: the story… Read More »

Generalizations, like clichés, are born from a truth, and ignoring them completely often means we’re trying too hard—especially when it comes to men and women.

There are traits that many women share, as well as traits that a lot of men have, it’s just a fact rooted in ratios; the only time a problem arises is when someone uses those ratios to make thoughtless, stupid remarks.

Like Tom Mitchelson, a journalist for the Daily Mail.

On a whim, Mitchelson decided to live as he “imagined a woman might” (imagined is the key word here), detailing a week’s worth of thoughts into a article so full of derogatory feminine oversimplifications that it’s a good thing I have no idea where he lives.

“I worried about cellulite, obsessed about finding the right partner and thought constantly about my biological clock” Mitchelson details, adding “Pints are out; spritzers (as in wine coolers. WINE COOLERS!!) are in.”

“Westerns are gone (except Brokeback Mountain), to be replaced by romances…I ring my mother every day, buy flowers, read my horoscope, pluck my eyebrows and browse the chick-lit section of the bookshop.” Read More »
