Before Twitter and Facebook, before the Arab Spring and the Occupy Movement, there was Grant Cogswell, an unemployed music writer who loved Seattle so much that he decided to run against Richard McIver for City Council. It’s 2001, and Cogswell is determined to unseat the only black man on City Council so that he can derail the light rail plan and work towards expanding the promise of affordable public transportation in the elevated monorail. His speeches are expletive-ridden and impassioned, and his fan …More

This just might be the weirdest music video we’ve ever written about. And we’re the people who brought you a serial-killing Jake Gyllenhaal and ASL-ing Natalie Portman. Shia LaBeouf is the most recent muse for Icelandic band Sigur Rós. The “Transformers” star appears in the group’s video for “Fjögur Píanó,” and the result is a piece you’d have to be a drug addict to appreciate. And from the looks of the video, Shia LaBeouf …More

Looks like Jake Gyllenhaal is angling for a superhero franchise of his own. Jake, who could easily step into any of the upcoming “Avenger” roles, was spotted recently performing the part of real life hero. Or at least parking meter mensch. A witness in California told Star Magazine that the “Brokeback Mountain” actor performed a random act of kindness, depositing spare change into a number of meters that were about to expire. The move was inspired by a nearby police officer who was in the …More

We thought Donnie Darko was as sinister as Jake Gyllenhaal could get. The 31-year-old actor put that theory to rest, though, with his recent role as an ecstasy-swallowing, psychopathic serial killer. No, it’s not a Quentin Tarantino movie. Jake’s starring in a music video for French group The Shoes’ new single, “In Time to Dance.” In the video, Gyllenhaal stalks hipster kids and slices their throats, donning an eerie fencing mask that’s a far cry from his “Prince of …More

Taylor Swift has learned from her recent Jake Gyllenhaal breakup. She’s not the same young country star who was so easily hurt. She’s stronger than yesterday. She’s quit playing games with her heart. There won’t be any more teardrops on her guitar.

And falls …More

Dear Jake Gyllenhaal, Thirty-one years ago, you were born. Mazel tov! Clearly we should reward your mother’s hard work and your sexy genetics. But what to give the Jew who already has everything? Okay, you don’t have everything—we hear through the grapevine that you’re still looking for love, and we know all about your failed flings with Reese Witherspoon and Taylor Swift (side note, Taylor Swift, really???). But what could you possibly desire beyond that? You’ve managed to stay …More

Jake Gyllenhaal had a little fun in the sun with his sister, Maggie Gyllenhaal, earlier this week.
