Jake Comes Home to Say Goodbye

January 28, 2008

Jake Gyllenhaal took a break from shooting Brothers in New Mexico and was back in LA in time to attend Heath Ledger's memorial service on Saturday. He kept a low profile in his cap and sunglasses, and we don't blame him since he was back in LA for such a sad reason. Hopefully spending some time with Reese, Ava, Deacon and their adorable doggies will help cheer him up a little. We can only imagine the kind of pain that Jake is in right now after losing his dear friend, but we're glad he'll be there to help his goddaughter Matilda learn about the father she lost at such a young age.

It just had to be someone to say their to good for one another. Whatever. I wish them the best and i highly doubt Reese was the reason he hasn't been in N.Y for quite a while. He's grown enough to make his own decisions.You all should listen to pink_magnetism more. # 22. I totally agree with her. I Hope one day Health will be able to rest in peace. He was so graceful with his work and I enjoyed watching his performances on screen. I will definitely, along with friends and family, support his movie" The Dark Knight!"

"I wonder if Reese attended at Heath Ledgers memorial service with Jake.?"Since only family and close friends attended, I don't think Reese was invited. As for Jake, I don't know if he attended.I think Jake should find a single woman, if possible not a celebrity and have his own kids.I hope he'll be a good godfather to Matilda Ledger, especially now since her daddy died.

What are great couple.I love that Reese is never walking around in a juicy suit and uggs. She always looks fab.Scotland - I think the big dog (Atticus) is Jake's. Jake and Kirsten got him together. I always forget that those two were a couple!

I don't think anyone can presume to know what kind of contact Jake had with Heath & Matilda,being controlled by Reese, or hoping he feels guilty about not spending enough time with them! That is his personal life, and as both Jake & Heath aren't attention whores, they're not going to call the tabloids every time they talk or hang out.

I don't think that Jake has seen either Heath or Matilda in ages. Otherwise we would have known about it. Jake hasn't been in New York City hardly at all since he hooked up with Reese. All of his personal time has been totally into Reese and her kids. I don't think he was and/or is a good Godfather. And nor will he be in the near future as long as Reese and her kids are in the picture. I cannot believe that he is so into her that thats all that matters to him. Amazing how someone can possibly have that much control in a relationship! I hope that Jake carries alot of guilt with him now and realizes what times he should have been spending with Heath and Matilda before it was over.

i think that jake will be a great influence on matilda - and i hope that michelle allows him to be around her little girl for that reason. such a shame to lose a friend like that - and i hope he's ok too. at least reese is a great comfort

So many are wishing Heath & those left behind in his life rest and peace from the paps - yet look how many continue to flock to these posts of those left behind. Posts that include photos that I can assume were taken from Paps? I am also saddened by his death, and I have ignored Pop's posts on his death until now. I just had to comment, because it's just ridiculous. This isn't someone's jail sentence, or someone's new gig, new man or anything else. Someone died here. How about lead by example, Pop, and not continue to post invasive photos such as this? Ugh!

Poor Jake. It really seemed like Jake and Heath had a fun time together when they were promoting Brokeback. They were always laughing together...I thought it was adorable when they presented together at the Oscars. I wish Jake all the best, especially peace from paparazzi.
