Peter Sarsgaard and Maggie Gyllenhaal Are Pregnaant!

Jaacob? Maadison? Noaah? Oliviaa? Pirate conventions of the world, get ready to hoist a pint of lager and roll your salty Rs, because Peter Sarsgaard and Maggie Gyllenhaal confirmed to People today that they’re currently expecting their second child. Married since 2009, the Hysteria star and Green Lantern villain are already parents to 5-year-old Ramona, who really dodged the double vowel bullet as far as we’re concerned. No Raamonaa? She’s going to be so jealous of baby Isaabellllaa. Jealous, or filled with pity.

Maggie Gyllenhaal Is Interested In Your … Happy Ending

A friend tweeted us this trailer for Hysteria a while ago and we can’t wait to watch it! The movie — and it looks brilliantly acted — deals with the creation of the vibrator and stars Hugh Dancy and Maggie Gyllenhaal. Dancy plays Dr Mortimer Glanville, a doctor who administers cures for female hysteria — considered to be an actual condition for women in Victorian England. The best cure for the was “manual massage” — if you catch our drift. This boggles our mind. You actually had doctors who had to “cure” you by giving you a happy ending? Legally! Only then it was called “hysterical paroxysm”.

Maggie stars as the woman who tells Dancy’s character about what women really want. Especially after the invented the “electrical feather duster” to do his job. Considering the subject matter of the film, and all that vibrator talk, Maggie must’ve felt particularly empowered. She also decided to pass the love along, telling the press at the Toronto Film Festival, “I gave everybody, cast and crew, a little bullet vibrator when we started. It was expensive!” But a kind deed is almost always returned by the universe. Maggie added, “By the time I finished the movie I’d been sent maybe 15 vibrators by different people in London with vibrator stores.”

A Very Swyllenhaal Christmas?

jake_main

It looks like the Anti-Speidi may have arrived. Rumors have been floating around for weeks that Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Swift are dating, and now America’s favorite theoretical couple are reportedly spending the holidays together. But wait, there’s more: the duo are allegedly making plans to spend the New Year in Paris. Did they buy the rights to their relationship from Nicholas Sparks?

“Everyone is happy for Jake,” a friend told Hollywood Life. “He finally came out of his rut. He took the breakup with Reese [Witherspoon] very hard and it’s taken him a long time to get over it. He dated in between, but no one has put a smile on his face like Taylor. He’s really on cloud nine. He’s a changed person. No one has struck his heart like Taylor.”

Apparently the two possible lovebirds were set up by Jake’s sister, Maggie Gyllenhaal. “Maggie and Taylor met at a charity event. Maggie thought Taylor was such a sweet girl with a good head on her shoulders…She seemed extremely grounded and very mature for her age. So, Maggie thought she’d be a great match for her brother. They are really perfect for each other. He’s in awe of her.”

He must be. That would explain why he shelled out $150,000 to fly his beloved to London for some quality time together. If you’re wondering what Taylor’s reaction to this looked like, it was probably something like this.

Sadly for Jake, T-Swift was nowhere in sight at a screening of his latest film, Love And Other Drugs last night in New York. So instead he had to settle for going with Anne Hathaway on his arm. Can’t win ‘em all, Jake. Oh wait, you just did. Check out the red carpet pics in the gallery below!

The 20 Sexiest Celebrity Nerds

nerd_main

When we see ridiculously attractive celebs driving their Ferraris to some hot Hollywood party with their glamourous spouse by their side, it hurts. To make ourselves feel better, we assume there must be a trade off for being so gorgeous and successful, and that these A-listers must be spectacularly stupid. Our wounded egos desperately try to console us by saying, “Yeah well, they may be better looking, more popular, and have more money than you, but….at least you probably did better on your SATs! And you got that junior year calculus grade up to a C+, so Matt Damon can suck it!”

But we’ve got some really bad news. Many stars not only have the beauty and the brawn, but million-dollar brains to match. Check out the gallery below to see which smart stars made our Hollywood Honor Roll! And be sure to see Waiting for Superman, the new documentary about the cracks in our education system and the super-smart kids trying to climb out of them.

Lea Michele Bares Bra At Launch Party, Kinda Sorta Called A Diva

Lea Michele

You know how a “tornado watch” is less serious than a “tornado warning”? Well this story about Lea Michele‘s “drama” on the set of Glee sounds more like a “diva watch” than a “diva warning.” “She’s sweet, but she has her moments,” one daring anonymous source tells Us Magazine. “She has very clear ideas about what she wants to do and how she wants to look. I think she’s just Type-A, like her character.” Oh no, a Type-A…in Hollywood! “Lea acts like she’s better than the rest of the cast,” says another (burn!), “but the thing is, she legitimately is.” We always did wonder how the Broadway vets dealt with the truly autotune-dependent on that show.

Whether or not she’s reached terror level Shannen Doherty for the crew on Glee, Michele certainly seems to be owning her stardom. The singing sensation joined Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jessica Biel and Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen at the launch of make-up artist Mark Townsend’s new launch party, with her sheer low-cut dress and black bra sticking out even among those fashionistas (though points to Ashley Olsen for looking like a grandma’s linen closet come to life). See what all these Type-A’s wore in the gallery below.

Maggie Gyllenhaal: Black And White Bombshell Or Just Blah?

That Maggie Gyllenhaal sure tries hard sometimes. Check out the combo she wore to the LOFT Style Studio launch in the Bowery last night—black and white low-cut flower-print sundress, striped sweater jacket that can’t pull past her shoulders, black leggings and knee-high boots. It’s like some poor schoolgirl grew two feet while out playing in the rain and then spilled whiteout all over herself. Are you feeling it? Get a closer look in the event gallery below and let us know in our TheFABLife poll.

Actresses At The Opera: Who Looked Hottest?

Is there a better excuse for getting all dolled up than the opera? Several stars certainly thought so at last night’s premiere of Armida at the Metropolitan Opera in NY. Camilla Belle looked more glamorous than most Jonas Brothers fans could ever dream of being in her strapless gown and Cartier jewels while Maggie Gyllenhaal went for a simpler and yet still elegant beige dress. Ginnifer Goodwin, while wearing Yves Saint Laurent like the other ladies, hit a very different vibe with her bustier, pants and dramatically cropped haircut. Who’s look do you like the most? Check out the gallery below (starring these three, as well as ladies like Chloe Sevigny—who unsurprisingly looks insane in gloves and a sleeveless jumpsuit) and let us know in our TheFABLife poll.

Don’t Even Think About It, Zach Braff

Zach Braff & Emmy Rossum

Even before we animated the eyebrows, there was just something off about this photo of Zach Braff and Emmy Rossum chilling at the Darker Side Of Climate Change Debate event in NYC. Not that we could blame Braff for making a move on the Phantom Of The Opera star if the opportunity arose—anyone who’d date Counting Crow Adam Duritz in the last year is obviously fair game for a sensitive Scrub like him. Among the stars with better things to do than “ooh” at completely innocent celebrity candids were Maggie Gyllenhaal, Rev Run, Kevin Bacon and Sarah Silverman, who moderated a debate on the very serious matter (climate change, not whether Zach Braff was looking for action). See photos from the event in the gallery below.

“Nanny McPhee” Premiere: Glam And Ham

59995729 It’s not often that farm animals attend film premieres, but there was one in attendance at the Nanny McPhee And The Big Bang opening in London yesterday. Star Emma Thompson had to wrangle the animal, luckily handing it over to its trainer before it made on the carpet.

Thompson and co-star Maggie Gyllenhaal looked glamorous regardless of the fact that they were competing for attention with Porky. During filming, Gyllenhaal said of Thompson “Early on, Emma gave me a couple of notes. And she’s not directing me, she’s acting with me! If some other actor started giving me notes I would tell them to f**k off – there is not one actor I would allow that from.But they were fantastic notes – clear and totally helpful.At the premiere, Gyllenhall added “I’m her biggest fan and I know I’m not alone in thinking she is a brilliant genius. I would like to work with her on everything.” For more pictures of the stars in attendance, check out our gallery. [Photos: Getty Images]
