CB prefers to call Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Swift “Jaylor” but I still think it sounds too much like Gaylord. Jwifty still appeals to me. Anyway, Us Weekly hasn’t released their cover story yet, but I’m enjoying the hell out of their cover this week. I mean… it’s perfect. What goes on in Jake’s publicist’s mind? “You know what will solve all of these gay rumors? Endless stories about Jake and a 14 year old going out for maple coffee and ice cream with sprinkles, then sending them out for posed photo ops!” I just can’t get over how freaking posed everything in this relationship is. Who do they think they are fooling?
Also – does anyone else think that Gaylord Jwifty is somehow being sponsored by coffee companies? Discuss.
UPDATE: Here’s Us Weekly’s cover story:
The new Us Weekly (now on newsstands) has the first photos of Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal’s romantic Thanksgiving Day weekend.
Arm in arm, the two looked more smitten than ever as they took an afternoon stroll in Brooklyn’s Park Slope neighborhood, where the actor’s sister, Maggie, lives.
Dating for just five weeks, the romance is heating up, several insiders tell Us Weekly.
“She loves his family and he loves hers,” says a Swift source.
Adds another pal, “It’s definitely serious.”
So, how did the unlikely romance come about?
Find out and get more – including why their relationship works; their thoughts on the nine-year age gap and what their families think; how Swift is already “love-struck” and must-see exclusive photos – in new Us Weekly today!
Oooh, they’re “heating up”! Pretty soon Jake is going to introduce Swifty to his boyfriend.

Swiftenhall has the best ring to it.
@ Laura —
Awwww, Swiftenhall sounds so Christmas-y.
Tis the season to be beard-y…ALLEGEDLY.
it all about the coffee!
@Kaiser…I have to go with CB on the name (as discussed on previous post, Jaylor/Jailer is right on many levels).
I do agree with you that they are being sponsored/wooed by a coffee company…just look at the cover pic…coffee cup front & center!
Gaylord Jwifty!! Great. AC (Actual Chuckle). The coffee sponsor came to mind as well with Swifty holding her cup on that cover shot.
The reason I think there might be something to this is I have yet to answer the question: So, what is Taylor getting out of this? She’s the biggest thing in music and she can pick any PR stunt she wants, so why this?
My pet name for them is Take.
So fake. He needs to get a better beard.
What are these two doing together.
Ok the posed pap shot has convinced me. Why the fakery Jake???
Jake: “The rich, complex aroma of your Hazelnut blend is driving me crazy!”
Taylor: “I can write a song about it, Jake”.
Jake: “Maybe later….I have to see a good friend right NOW!”.
Ugh. Such a FAKE romance. Honestly, who think they’re really dating???
First of all, I don’t think that Jake is gay..absolutely no proof of that. I think they are cute together, and have no reason to do this for a photo op!!! They are both wealthy and young..whats the point???
I don’t like this, I don’t like this at all…
Swiftenhall it is!
I don’t know if it’s a fake relationship or what. I don’t care. I’m amused by them.
Maybe two overly vanillas will spice each other up?
Swillenhaal!
Swiftenhall is the best. I don’t believe Jakey is gay, I just think he just likes dating adults.
I still find it very disappointing. Neither of them are setting a good example for her young fans. Sure go ahead date some who’s 21 when your 15. That’s only a 6 year difference. Taylor did it. There are many impressionable, easily manipulated young girls out there who are of legal age let alone underage. It’s creepy that he would have that much in common with her that they would promote this relationship so hard, like it’s totally normal.
I vote for Swillenhaal.
I like Swillenhaal. And they are the most boring, vanilla couple. I don’t think anything (outside a chai latte) could spice these 2 up.
i don’t get the jake is gay rumours, not saying they’re not true, i just missed the source i guess, why do people think he is?
Too much cappuchino
Swiftake, becasue that’s what you get when you look at them.
Please, Jake is not gay. Have you seen that video that was (rather creepily I admit) secretly filmed and then posted of him hitting on all those girls in the club on his Russian promo trip for Prince of Persia? Boy’s got moves! there’s not a doubt in my mind that he is straight. (And hot and goofy and funny and charming and I could go on….) Just because he portrayed a gay character in Brokeback Mountain it does not make him gay people. It’s called ACTING.
As for Swifty. Well…due my extreme love for the Jakemeister (he is top of my freebie five) well, I’m not gonna lie, I was a bit put off, and did wonder what he saw in her. But I’m slowly coming to terms with it (I know, I know, I need therapy!). She is at the very least, a sweet, grounded, reasonably normal girl, not a skanky fame-ho. It could be sooo much worse. She may not be the best live singer etc etc but she’s a grafter, works hard, is obviously intelligent and ambitious, I’ll give her that.
Just please don’t write a song about Jakey trampling all over your rainbows and shooting your unicorns if it all goes horribly wrong Swifty.
I want to blow up that cover up and frame it in my living room.
Ladies and gentlemen, I call it…”Beard…”
I never thought he was gay until this very moment. He’s either gay, or his people thought it would be a good idea to do this to drum up publicity for Love and Other Drugs, like Taylor is clearly promoting her album. Either way, it’s all about image and both of these people are way more phony than I ever gave them credit for. I guess you can be “nice” but still be an image obsessed narcissist. Look at their goofy faces!
I vote for Swillenhaal, and I think it’s the real deal, and I think it’s great.
“She is at the very least, a sweet”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAH.
Taylor if you are not careful this will be your future:

Run Taylor. Run like the wind before you become Phylis Hudson. Think about it.
Yeah, Sallyjay we all saw that “secret” video of Gay Jake hitting on the babes- his PR team was out in force at that time to squelch the newest rumors. I think his PR team assumes that the average J.G. fan is about twelve.
Awwwwww. They have that “We just imbibed on the rainbow-vom of care bears and unicorns” look in their eyes. Either that or someone slipped them a couple pot brownies while on their last coffee run.
I vote for Gaylor Swiftenford. I just like they way it sounds.
Wow, she’s becoming a beard of a century..
You know I never believed the gay rumors until now. This is the most staged relationship I’ve ever seen.
Gaylord Jwifty- classic. I literally LMAO!
It works for both of them. She can do John Mayer or whoever she wants, and he can do… well, whoever he wants, and adoring fans like some of the people who have posted here think they are seriously having a relationship.
I hate her doe-eyed innocent act. I’m positive this girl already has a lot of mileage on her – and she is one conniving vixen who will scratch your eyes out if you get in her way.
Taylenhaal (rhymes with Tylenol cos my eyes hurt from that photo)
This has got to be the strangest pairings in a long time. Though Handler and 50 Cent is pretty random too… what’s next, my favorite – kanye west and kate gosselin?
They are cute together… and it might work if Taylor was a few years older. But honestly she isn’t mature enough for Jake. Who wants to bet when this ends that she writes a song about it and makes millions of dollars off it? So predictable.
@Dee Vine
Taylenhaal! NICE! Now I can’t decide between Swillenhaal and Taylenhaal.
I prefer Swiftenhall. This photo is ridiculous
Swiftenhall FTW!
I just don’t get her appeal :{ How about Fake & Swifty? lol
*Gags* This just doesn’t make sense to me. I never thought Jake was a phoney romance person but this doesn’t seem organic to me.
Swiftenhall is not bad, I like that.
How old is she? Is this legal??
I agree with many on here. I always believed Jake was sincere in his relationships but this Swifty girls is clearly dating all her men for showmances or fauxmances. All of hers have been fake and it has been so obvious. It is just hard for me to imagine that Jake and Reese would date for 2 years if they were faking it. What was in it for either of them?
Suppose for a second this isn’t staged (lol, i know):
how do u go from REESE WITHERSPOON to SWIFTY? mindboggling
Is this staged? I don’t know. He’s doesn’t have to do this for me to go see his movie!! You don’t have to be with her! I’ll still go see u on the big screen, Jakey my love. 😉
“How old is she? Is this legal??”
She’s 20. It’s legal for him to fuck her, but not legal to take her drinking.
That is the ultimate cheeseball photo I’ve ever seen. It doesn’t even look real, like their heads were photoshopped on some random couple.
I don’t like her teeth.
I hate how her teeth are photo-shopped extra white while she is conveniently holding that coffee cup like it’s an advertisement. Wait it is! Lame
I don’t believe Jake is gay either but this has given me pause for thought. I find this ‘romance’ very odd, to say the least.
Who do they think they and there PR people are fooling, that picture looks staged and phony just like there relationship, I wonder how long it’s contracted to last.
Kaiser, seriously you make my day.
I thought he was maybe gay even before Brokeback Mountain and I don’t think others question him being gay or straight because of that movie … no one had these rumors about Heath Ledger. I dunno maybe the boy isn’t gay … I kinda think he’s not sometimes … that he’s just sexless. Either way he doesn’t do it for me in any way shape or form unless it’s to go ice skating or chase moonbeams or something sappy …
@Kaiser — ROFL !! ; )
Oooh, they’re “heating up”! Pretty soon Jake is going to introduce Swifty to his boyfriend.
It’s definitely a fake relationship – to raise both their profiles, but it doesn’t mean Jake is gay – wtf? how is he gay? Based on what? He played a gay character – it doesn’t make him gay – just like it doesn’t make Sean penn gay. He went out with Reese witherspoon for 2 years – as if Reese, an already A-list, oscar winning actress was going be a “beard” for an almost nobody at that time. But I have lost a little respect for Jake and Taylor from this.
They are cute together but it seems so stage-y. I wonder who will break whose heart first? And what songs she will write about it? I doubt it will last.
they are soo cute together!!! I love this : )
Ah, thanks. @Laura
For people wondering what they gain by this, stop being so naive!!! Prince of Persia bombed and Jake desperately needs Love and Drugs to do well, otherwise his career is pfffff… She needs to graduate from girl to woman and has an album to promote. The more coverage they can get the better it is for their respective projects. That is how it works people!
this has totally turned me off Jake
Can anyone tell me whether publicists actually read the comments people leave on gossip sites, or do they just blindly ignore the opinions of the public? The reason I ask is that from the start the majority of those following whatever this (real or fake) have always maintained that it was purely for PR. It doesn’t matter what website you go on, almost everyone has called them out. One would assume their publicists would have thought, “OK, no one believes this so let’s think of something else”. Instead, they’ve continued to shove this down everyone’s throats to such an extent, even those who may have bought into it at the start are now thinking otherwise. It beggars belief that these PR teams who are responsible for maintaining the public image of their clients actually think that we’re that gullible. It doesn’t matter what these articles say to try and cover up how glaringly incompatible they are as a couple, very few people believe this. To try and convince us that they’re in love after spending a handful of weekends together is a joke. The longer they drag this out, the more likely people will get sick of them.
I’m not surprised Taylor would go along with this if she wants to appeal to a wider, more adult audience and breakaway from the kiddie pop she’s known for, plus it benefits her album sales. Jake on the other hand just looks like a f**king idiot for agreeing to go along with it. Prior to this, he was well respected and came off as a genuine guy, who shunned the Hollywood machine (ok, fine it may have been an act but we bought it ). Now he’s being ridiculed, his credibility has taken a knock and he is losing the support of his fanbase. This stunt is making him less popular and if people lose interest in him, they not going to pay to see his movies. Jake really needs success at the box office because that’s the one thing that has alluded him of late. If he can’t open a movie, studios and directors will be more reluctant to back him. To resort to photo ops and showmances to boost his popularity/profile just makes him look desperate.
I’ve never understood the gay talk about Jake. And Taylor is old enough to be in a serious relationship – that’s all she ever dreams and sings about! I think they are perfect together. Jake has been trying to settle down since Kirsten Dunst, and Taylor seems like the ideal choice due to her youth and lack of experience. I think there will be wedding bells and babies in their future. Ha!
I agree that this “relationship” is a little too posed. Gotta love all those staged photo ops. It’s all just for publicity. At least Jake’s publicist picked a girl with a clean reputation, unlike Clooney’s publicist.
“Taylor seems like the ideal choice due to her youth and lack of experience. I think there will be wedding bells and babies in their future”
LOL, Taylor said in her last interview she doesn’t wants kids until her thirties and her career is her main priority. Do you think Jake’s going to wait until then? Hardly likely.
@Nicky, what you’ve posted about how this is obviously fake and has hurt Jake’s rep etc. completely applies to Clooney’s fake relationship, too. It boggles the mind how publicists can’t see the damage this sort of ruse does and even more so how their clients can’t see it. Part of why it’s damaging is the public feels the celeb is trying to put one over on us, and actually that is what they are trying to do. Not good to treat your audience/fans like they are idiots. Also not good for a celeb to reveal himself as being insecure/desperate/shallow/dumb enough to along with such a ridiculous scheme. I used to think Jake was cool. Now I just see at him as a big dufus.
That picture – hahahahaha! That just made my evening!
That is just embarrassing. Not good.
@Nicky – Well, the fact that they are going so “public” with this makes me start to think it is a real relationship. Maybe their PR people are rolling their eyes that Jake is in this relationship, so they are trying to control the roll out so the public will be more accepting? You are right, Jake needs his movie to be a hit b/c Prince of Persia was a disappointment. But, this whole relationship is really alienating his fanbase. I don’t think I will see his movie now because the whole time I’ll be thinking, why in the world is he dating Swifty?! Very distracting. I think it’s not the age difference that matters, it’s more the fact that it’s Taylor Swift. Isn’t she friend’s with Miley Cyrus. Is Jake going to hang out with Miley Cyrus now?! So embarrassing.
“But, but, but, he just can’t be gay! He’s touched Anne Hathaway’s boobs! It was just a movie! He’s straight! They’re an awesome couple!” Again, I beg for all posters ages to be included with their comments because only a teen could be gullible enough to buy this one.
Wow.
Squinty must be every hardcoare christian’s dream.
If she can turn Jake Gay-llnyhaal from the Dark Side, imagine what she can do with John Travolta.
You heard it here, folks, but mark my words. In another couple months, she’ll start two-timing with Travolta, who’ll come out and say Kelly Preston was never in love with him because she’s always been a lesbian!
Someone on ONTD has posted scans of the article and I’m not kidding, if you thought the cover was posed, just check out the other pictures inside! It’s also very telling as to why no pap pics had surfaced before – probably because this was an exclusive deal for the mag. The article is ridiculous, it seems to be written around all of the photos in such detail that the person writing it would have to have been by their side to recall everything. Honestly, it’s hilarious but such BS. What I disliked was the way they really lay into Reese and use her as a comparison as to why Taylor’s so much better for Jake than Reese ever was. F**k that! What makes me laugh though is most of the article says they’re in love, they have so much in common, the age gap isn’t an issue blah blah blah but then at the end admit it’s probably not going to last past the holidays. LOL, what? You spend all that time shipping them but then say, nah, it hasn’t got legs. So basically, they’ve hooked up for the duration of their publicity tour and once that ends so will this “romance”. LMFAO, I don’t think anyone could have predicted this any better if they tried.
omg, I can´t believe both of them are willingly doing this. neither of them need publicity, I don´t get it. Nobody believes that romance!! c´mon it´s like pedophilia! that girl needs to be more careful and fired her pr team. and he needs to find another believable beard if he doesn´t want to come out of the closet.
In this day and age why on earth would they go through so much trouble? Ricky Martin came out of the closet so why can’t Jake do the same thing? Sorry, I’m not buying it.
I like Swillenhall, it rolls off of the tongue and into your day-old ‘Vanilla Sleepover’- flavoured latte.
I am literally lmao at this picture. Her teeth don’t look like they fit her mouth, their matching squinty eyes, and why is the top half of her body behind him and the bottom half in front of him? And their feet have a “cut out” look to them. This belongs on photoshopdisasters.com
Yup, my vote’s for Swyllenhaal.
Barf. Don’t like these two together. I predict that it will fizzle out pretty damn soon. What in God’s name could they have in common?
What if the real twist is that she is a lesbian?
birdgherl – oooo I like how you think … maybe they are beards for each other …
This is a bizarre PR stunt but I can’t determine the angle. Beard? publicity for upcoming projects? Product placement? Whatever it is, it’s weird and it’s not going to last.
I call them Taylenhaal.
This is the most ridiculous couple EVER paired up by publicists. It’s smells of showmance all the way! Jake also lost the last bit of cool he had left by pretending to be into a lame ass like swift.. pathetic!
I like to imagine these two at Christmas or Thanksgiving dinner with Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard — specifically Maggie & Peter suppressing eyerolls and snorts of derision.
to everyone who is saying that there´s is 9 year diference, let me tell you something, my husband and i have been for 7 years and a few months together, we are very much in love,and theres is a diference of 9 years between us, so there´s no reason to put that as something so unbelievable that a 20 yo and a 29 yo can have a relationship, i met my husband when i was 17 and he was 26, i´m 25 and he´s 34 and we´re happier than ever
though it is a really weird couple, like not very much in common
I think she addicted to coffee.
