I tend to think that Taylor Swift isn’t really over Jake Gyllenhaal. I anxiously await a new album from Swifty, where she’ll obviously have songs about their coffee-soaked “romance” – songs like “Dear Jake” and “The Romeo Who Broke My Sparkle-Heart” and “Brokeback Pony-Glitter”. But Jake’s other high-profile ex, Reese Witherspoon… well, I get the feeling that she did the dumping and she barely looked back. Reese quickly moved on to Jim Toth, and as we all know, Jim turned out to be “the one”. Reese is all “Jake who? Beard whatsit?” Anyway, a few days ago there were reports that Reese and Taylor had met up for dinner. I didn’t think much of it – they’ve met before at various events, and they seemed to get along just fine. But Us Weekly has the “inside scoop” on what went down during the dinner, and it’s not pretty:
Maybe Taylor can write a song about this! Reese Witherspoon and Taylor Swift lunched at Los Angeles’ Boa Steakhouse on Aug. 26 — and chatted about their shared ex, Jake Gyllenhaal!
“They talked about how vain and self-absorbed Jake can be,” a source tells Us Weekly. “They laughed about it.”
(Gyllenhaal, 30, dated Swift for two months in 2010; he and Witherspoon, 35, spent two years together before calling it quits in late 2009. Witherspoon married CAA agent Jim Toth in March.)
The blonde Tennesseans first bonded at the Academy of Country Music Awards in April and had planned to hang out.
And it looks like this relationship may last. Swift, 21, invited the actress and her kids to an upcoming show, and Witherspoon gave the singer a lift home after lunch!

You’ll probably scoff at this. After all, how does Us Weekly know what went down at this dinner? Keep this in mind, though: Us Weekly gets all of the strategic leaks from Camp Swifty. I always thought that Swifty called up Us Weekly herself to tell them about her relationship with Jake, during and after. So my takeaway is that Swifty (or someone close to her) thought it would be a good idea to put it out there that she and Reese were complaining about how “vain” Jake is. Now, there’s nothing wrong with girl-talk, and God knows I love gossip about this kind of stuff, so I’m not complaining about that. But Swifty knows that she looks like she’s still obsessing over Jake, right?
Oh, and I totally believe he’s vain and self-absorbed.

There’s recent video of Taylor’s latest concert, where she goes into the front row and hugs Reese- so they’re on good terms, definitely.
Taylor Lautner was also in the front row and got a hug, as well as Garrett Hedlund. I’ve never been to a Swifty concert, but apparently she always ends by hugging the VIPs in the front row.
He looks so gay in the cop outfit!
That US Weekly cover never stops being funny!
they talked about to be a professional beard and how his boyfriends are cute! (smile)
honestly Reese and Taylor who seem bland but they’re not as angelic as people think
Is it wrong that I don’t like her? She really BUGS me.
I believe you US Weekly. I believe you.
Swifty looks really nice on that pic. I think she is a lovely girl.
I’m sure Taylor did most of the talking and it will probably end up being a song. Too bad she can’t call it “You’re So Vain”.
@the original bellaluna: I feel the same way
Taylor Lautner, stay as far away from Swifty as you can!! First stories about possibly hooking up with Jason Mraz, now this? She has stated publicly she & TL are friends, but I think she wants him back. I’m sorry these two incidents are going to convince him that going Back to December would be a hugh mistake.
I don’t get the dislike for Jake-I like him. Love Reese-talented and always looks good. Really dislike Swifty, tho. She just strikes me as a child stuck in a grown up body. Glitter and ponies and teddy bears! Oh my!
I don’t like either of them(Reese & Taylor). They both seem phony to me.
As for Jake, I’m not a fan of his either, but T&R just seem catty in this situation
All of them are self-absorbed and arrogant.
I agree with DetRiotgirl. That cover shot makes me laugh every time I see it. It looks like a staged Shutterstock shot accompanying a YM magazine feature. “Lonely? Find True Love with the Boy of Your Dreams!”
The coffee cup even looks like a prop! She’s holding it like it’s empty, with just the tips of her long, Swifty fingers.
It’s really one of the most humiliating moments of both of their careers, but especially his, since he’s older and always seemed like a indie stoner type, not a total cornball JC Penney ad model. It’s so bad/funny, I thought it was satire the first time I saw it.
But you have to admit JG is hot.
Took my kids to The Prince of Persia movie a couple of years ago…REALLY enjoyed it…although I don’t think I could recount anything about the plot, LOL.
Complete eye candy in that flick, I tell you.
I don’t get the jake magic. He’s not attractive (to me) and just seems awful.
Not as awful as that hipster poser duffus Jen Aniston is shacking up with …but cut from the same cloth.
Don’t like either of them; esp. swifty her music is disposable junk,utterly childish and unremarkable if she’s wins anymore faux awards she should give them to her pr team – the real story behind her success.
“self-aborbed”
I’d be more inclined to believe this if the person who wrote it could spell. That being said, Swift and Witherchin are probably bitches anyway, so the article may well hold some truth to it.
Yesh I do not like Taylor Swift. The world is her high school.
Taylor is too good for that irrelevant gay-actor.
Had to get this off my chest.
Maybe Swifty will cover “You’re So Vain.”
Then she can whisper “Jake you creep” in that little whispery part under the intro.
jover- you don`t get to be famous without a good pr-team. but in her case it was talent that got her going. professional songwriter from the age of 14-15. or do you really think sony hires them randomly?
gtfo,son.
All of them are insufferable.
Taylor should find some friends her own age… and get over Jake…Jesus christ man GET A LIFE! he isnt thinking about you as he bones his way through L.A. God does he have a golden tongue or something.
Jake and Taylor together creeped me out. Glad that is over. Taylor seems to be floating around trying to find people she can trust. Reese is stuck up, but she’s also probably very smart and knows how to handle the press and the fame. I can see her as a mentor for Taylor.
Ahh I really like taylor swift and reese seems very nice.
Reese, sweetie, you’re 35 and married to another man. Don’t you think it’s a little immature to be gossiping about an ex that did nothing wrong to you with his childish 22 yo ex-girlfriend? Just saying…
Taylor, sweetie, get the fuck over it. People break up all the time. You’re no angel if you screwed around with John Mayer. Zip your lips before one of them writes a song about you. Just saying…
Jake is cute, harmless. Just saying…
Sorry #21 you are conveniently overlooking factors which many posters to this site are well aware of.
First, the standards for pop music are quite low these days; the real question is would she be as big before the days of music vids, wrap around media, etc.; Answer no.
Second, have you actually read her lyrics and word choices – she’s a 22yr. old with the emotional/intellectual maturity of a ten yr. old narcissist.
With the bar so low, anyone can be a professional songwriter; hell, there are people on this site that can come up with better lyrics than are found in most pop songs.
Third, how can you seriously discount the millions of dollars in marketing thrown at this chick to make her famous; if sade, esperenza spalding, corinne bailey rae had her millions of pr dollars, they would be bigger and they have far more talent. What do you think the revlon contract is marketing by other means.
Like her music if you want, but unless you’re her publicist, don’t insult real music with this disposable pabulum.
Yah, she’s right up there with dylan – give me a break.
I just can’t stand PHONY TAYLOR I just can’t and Jake is super hot, I don’t know what he saw on that fugly “country soon to be has been girl”
I think this story is half true. It wouldn’t be surprising if Taylor kept going on and on about Jake. But considering Reese is married, I doubt she cares about talking about him.
Why would any grown man date Taylor Swift? She has the mental maturity of a thirteen year old. What a bunch of pervs!
Whether you like Swift’s music or not, she is a talented songwriter, and Seal Team 6 isn’t the one saying that. Lots of people in the industry think so, including folks like Tim McGraw.
I like her music, and “Speak Now” is the country pop “Jagged Little Pill.” Girl is steel and fire under the Disney exterior.
I actually love Taylor Swift’s music. And I think she’s very sweet. Maybe not as “nice” as her image portrays – but who is?
She keeps her sh*t on lock.
So then the obvious route is for Swifty to do a Carly Simon cover.
I have to say I buy it. Girls will be girls. I’m over my exes but I giggle about them now and then with a friend. Who hasn’t? Just asking: why is it that US weekly couldn’t possibly know the goings on of a lunch between two celebs? Most people are suckers for gossip. I just got done ranting about how I’d never ask for a celeb autograph…but I’d sure as hell sit in the next booth and listen to the uncensored magic of what celebs say! Because it’s hilarious to me that they all try so hard to pretend that they’re better than a “regular” individual–all while they’re trying to keep their closeted sexuality a secret or their dead marriages/relationships from going bust in the public eye.
Swifty is irritating and immature.
I wouldn’t say that Swift lacks talent- but they’ve made her out to be more than what she is.
Think about it this way for a second:
She markets herself the way that Cyrus, and Beibs do- to the masses of tween girls. They are where the money is, and because of that, they don’t need to make any songs that are especially deep or interesting.
Whine about a breakup. Pretend to be the girl that just isn’t as good as the prom queen or whatever, but don’t worry- you can steal her boyfriend because he ‘belongs’ with you. She is the voice of tween girls, and that’s all you have to be to make money. Doesn’t mean you’re talented, or that you write anything meaningful. You’re just very marketable.
Her eyes are so tiny.
And Jake looks like he’s trying to be a “hot cop” from Arrested Development.
Jake is awesome. I don’t give an eff what Taylor or Reese say about him. He can do no wrong in my books.
