I have read several articles on german sites and boards complaining about Jake's attitude lately and how his career is going down instead of up. Here is one from celebrity.de: Has anybody else experienced something like that in their country? I am really frustrated with this kind of gossip but Jake isn't helping matters by looking all bored. Also I heard a lot of fans complain that he does not reply to fan mail, doesn't give autographs and has no new project coming up. Does anybody else feel like Jake is on the wrong path right now?

I don't agree. I think his career is going up and 2010 was one of the most successful years for Jake. Also there's an actual movie with him in leading role - Love and Other Drugs
In April his next movie is coming out - Source code. His fans adores him and I'm sure they'll always support him.
And about the article and his ex I think that the reason for that is because of the paparazzi stuff and new scandals and stuff. Everybody knows that Jake doesn't like to show anything about his private life. If he wasn't alone on the photos there'd be a new dramas for sure.

I think, they want to write anything about anyone ... and Jake is currently their preferred restorative, because he ended the "relationship" with Taylor ... and she is a so sweet & cute girl, and the poor girl is left always from the bad men!
This makes me angry ... nobody knows whether they really had a relationship. I think, all the news about Jake and his relationships come because the press has noticed that his stories sell well, Jake is loved, and so far have not got all bitchy. But after all the car chases with photographers and paps, Jake doesn't want to read a new story about his relationship in the newspapers and is no longer just nice.
See what happens, he visits the gg with a friend ... she is a girl ... and now, he can read all about his new relationship in the newspaper ... even if it is not true!
Not the Star is fallen ... Jake strikes back!

I know - there's no way pleasing these damn paps. Jake and a woman - couple Jake and no woman - gay Jake and a woman but no pic - jerk --> hell, how do they want him to behave?

I totally disagree wiht the article and agree with all opinions posted above mine. First several other actors didn't signes autograps to event, and didn't reply to mail, i was wondering why complain just with Gyllenhaal, it's simply ridicoulos. Seems that his fans-are those who said such thing real fans?- are simply childish or selfish, or praise Gyllenhaal only if he'll do exactly what they want. They want him to smile, even if it's hurted by gossip and sided press, and gossip press, and stalked 24 for 24 by paparazzi, they want him to be sexy, and mellow with complete stranger that snooping in his private life, and when he obiviously get fed-up by all of this, simply he's a falling star, and acting not like a gentleman. Second we didn't know, and haven't the right to know, how his relationships evolved, surely Swift and Gyllenhaal hanging out together, in my point of view they were together for a small time, now they've splitted, but honeslty what press want from Gyllenhaal?Some statement about his private life?What going on in bedroom, maybe? No we didn't know if he broke-up by telephone with Swift, or how it has happened, simply are all imaginative and guessable conjecture, simply gossip mangazine, blog and every single web site must write about something that caught attention, and that's the reason why this article was done. Third in my point of view in the past months sided press trying to buil a defamatory campain agaist Gyllenhaal, on gossip mangazine, on several sided blog, everywhere, and simply cause he didn't play gossip/paparazzi/press game, he didn't give to gossip and rumor stature, he didn't gave importance and attention to those who's rumored about his hided sexuality. Simply Gyllenhaal going on with his career indeed, but this sided press didn't wish to stay ofcused about his upcoming project, all that they want is some scoop about Gyllenhaal private life,since they haven't had, they haven't, they will not, they write about nothing.

I mean maybe she woulnd't take a pic with Gyllenhaal..everything it's possible....

On German breakfast TV they said and showed, that employees of the Globes (sorry, i don't know the English word for them) does scare the celebrities on the red carped. For examples, Michael Douglas wanted to give the journalists an interview, but the Globes-Employees didn't let him go there ... and Jake should give autographs? This is really funny!

I agree with everything Maria and the others said, above! I'm so sick of all this gossip about Jake!!! I know it's their job to write in these (awful!) gossip magazines, and I know a lot of people like reading all that *BS*, but I will never understand WHY so many people do! Jake is a HUMAN BEING (just like they are, like we are) with feelings, dreams, hopes... From what we've seen he's really a good, nice, honest man, who happens to love acting (and oh boy, he does it with excellence !)! He is also (like everyone else) entitled to make mistakes, and he has the right to keep his life private (or at least, in his situation, as private as possible!) I think, from what I've seen in interviews, Jake is a VERY patient and kind man, even if some stupid interviewer asks him *BS* questions, he always tries to answer them them calmy, and in the best way! All those rotten gossip journalists (if you can call them "journalists" pft!) should show him a lot of respect!!! As for not answering fan mail, we have NO right to OBLIGE, to FORCE him to answer all his fan mail! I can image people being disappointed but indeed, as Maria said, people who then suddenly think he's not kind or anything, are immature, stupid, selfish and not a real fan! We don't know Jake personally, we don't know how his private life is going at the moment, but I personally, can imagine that with the way things are going now, he's not feeling 100% well and I feel for him! As for his career: I agree with Chipz! One of the things I like about Jake -and I think this is absolutely a very rare, special thing!- is that he goes for quality and not quantity. He has a very interesting choice in movies that he acts in and I hope he will continue to do so.

jake does sign autographs but the golden globes is not an event for signing autographs anyway it is a formal event at the more csual ones like the palm springs festival he was signing autographs In the past Jake has signed many, many autographs for fans. He is known to be patient and friendly about that, and also about taking pictures with fans anywhere, even when he's out and about on his own time and not promoting anything. Yes, sometimes he gets cranky about being interrupted or bothered and he refuses. He's only human, and occasionally he's just not in the mood. I don't blame him for not wanting to cooperate all the time. We fans tend to think our favorite celebrities should be available to us whenever we want them. That simply can't happen. At a professional event like the Golden Globes, especially when he is a nominee, Jake has to take pictures. As you say, book, autographs generally aren't part of this occasion. Over the past few years, Jake has become much more protective of his private life, and I would guess that he will not show up at a public event with anyone unless they are married or engaged to each other (he and Reese attended industry events like SAG luncheons and Oscar after-parties, which are not public). I recall that an interviewer on the red carpet once asked Jake whether he would bring a date to such an event. He answered no, because when he was there he was working. Obviously he wants to keep his private life separate from his professional life. That said, I was puzzled by him bringing Jenny Lewis to the GG. When stars don't want to be seen with a date or significant other, they usually bring family members. Leo DiCaprio always brings his mother (except for one time when he brought Gisele Bundchen to the Oscars); a top female star came with her mother too, and celebrities often bring their kids. Maybe none of Jake's family were available. Showing up with an ex-girlfriend is an odd move. However, she isn't famous like Taylor Swift or Reese, so everyone was caught off-guard. There's not much to make of this pairing. They haven't been together in years. Back when Jake and Reese went to Coachella, Jenny Lewis and her boyfriend, I think, were photographed hanging out with J&R. Guess Jake didn't want to appear at the GG alone, and his "people" might have urged him to bring a female companion, for obvious reasons.
