Jake Gyllenhall is currently singing "and I am telling you..." in a sparkly gown, in the original key.


You may have missed it, but I'm sure it will be on the sight that may not be named...


That was great!


edit: two Jake threads and we both spelled his last name wrong...FOR SHAME.

Agreed... that was funny. He does have a good voice, though.

yeah and was one of the greatest things ever + the fact he was hot.

"he could sang me the telephone book."

And he took the time to present a spot-on rendition and imitation of the Jennifers. VERY impressive. Perez Hilton will be outing him even more than usual for this.

And an Homage to the Jennifer Holiday Drop Dress too.

Right on!

And now you see why he was offered a role in SWEENEY TODD...

I love how casually MB throws us a bone about his wealth of insider knowledge.

I don't get why people think Jake's gay (this skit excluded), but he's said before on Conan that he loves musical theater. And I think he'd be a good Tobie.

Toby in the Sweeney Todd movie will be played by an actual teenager.

There's a clip on the site we can't mention here, for those who missed it. Love the cowboys...

[Weez]

Posted: 1/14/07 at 12:08pm

Very subtle. XD

Having seen it now, he's pretty good. O_O Apart from the fact he still walked like a man... XD

OH-MY-GAWD!
LOVED IT!
Hahahaha

Not only is he singing in key (despite pitch and breathing problems), but he's one helluva showman too! And look at those arms! Mmmm "I'm gonna looove him!"

Thank God! Mano was great on Broadway, but he obviously looked like a 30 year old man playing the part.

Can't wait to the role with a real teenager.

So when David Geffen produces hsi all-drag revicial of Dreamgirls, won't Jake be awesome as Effie?

They can change to to "..And getting hairer all the time" "You lie you lie, I never been so smooth!"

[MenzelManiac]

Posted: 1/14/07 at 2:27pm

I know Tina Fey left the show awhile back, but in that clip, does she make a quick cameo all the way on the right as one of the Dreamgirls? I clearly see Maya Rudolph and Amy Poehler, but the gal all the way on the right keeps making me go both ways. It is, it isn't, etc.

Anyone know?

Girlllll, you better take that link out of your post before Craig goes all Curtis on your ass!

[munkustrap178]

You KNOW that Jake has been waiting his entire life for that moment. If he was not famous he would be out doing his own drag show. Please.

And don't tell me that wasn't his idea.

I posted this thought on the OT thread on the same subject... but I felt like sharing it here as well.

I'm having a delayed reaction to this clip... regarding the Brokeback Nellies in the audience.

If this is the way "America" perceives the Dreamgirls movie, it's a dead duck.

As funny as Jake was, that sure isn't going to drum up any new business for this movie. The "interested gays" have pretty much all seen it... and if the rest of the country thinks that it's an "interested gay" movie, you can kiss it goodbye.
