Jake Gyllenhaal Rocks a Full Beard on 'Details': VIDEO

Gyllenhaal

Jake Gyllenhaal gets a nice puffy piece in next month's Details magazine in which he talks about his forthcoming films End of Watch and An Enemy, which he's shooting in Toronto.

Though Brokeback is a distant memory, Anne Hathaway does offer up a teeny memory of working with him on it:

Gyllenhaal's way of keeping it fresh can befuddle costars on occasion. The far more common result, however, becomes clear in watching his catalog. For over a decade, actors have been doing some of their best work opposite him—Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Aniston, Tobey Maguire, Heath Ledger. "It's no accident. Jake takes it all very seriously but also has a very light touch," explains Anne Hathaway, his costar in Love and Other Drugs and Brokeback Mountain. "On Brokeback, my final scene was on the phone with Heath, who was in Venice for Casanova. Jake offered to read Heath's lines. On the last take, he changed the line, ever so slightly. That kicked off something in me, and lo and behold, that's the take in the film."

6a00d8341c730253ef01676542c07b970b-800wi The Department of Defense finally has some gay pride. "Now that we've repealed 'don't ask, don't tell,' [Defense Secretary Leon Panetta] feels it's important to find a way this month to recognize the service and professionalism of gay and lesbian troops," said a spokesman.

6a00d8341c730253ef01676542c07b970b-800wi Matt Bomer held his own at NYC’s Most Stylish Dads Dinner last night.

6a00d8341c730253ef01676542c07b970b-800wi Meanwhile, Bomer had this to say about manscaping down under for male stripper flick Magic Mike: "I’m not going to say it was fun, and personally I will never do it again, but for that project it was necessary. We were all in the boat together."

6a00d8341c730253ef01676542c07b970b-800wi The National Organization for Marriage is really grasping at straws by supporting a flawed study on gay parenting.

"Past attempts to bong the vote have been disappointing, in part because stoners aren't the group anyone would most count on to bother filling out a ballot... [But] several have argued that this could be the year for pro-marijuana turnout."

6a00d8341c730253ef01676542c07b970b-800wi A Tennessee pastor claims that gay marriage-supporting singer Carrie Underwood does not understand the Bible. "What she said...has increasingly become a pretty broken understanding of what the Bible is saying. You want to listen to the Scripture in terms of what it says about everything, including marriage, including sexuality," claimed Scotty Smith, who says he has worked with the writer of Underwood's track "Jesus Take The Wheel."

ObamaWeedLegalization6a00d8341c730253ef01676542c07b970b-800wi HBO has apologized after it was revealed that Games of Thrones included a scene featuring George W. Bush's head on a spike.

6a00d8341c730253ef01676542c07b970b-800wi The Georgian government has made efforts to align with international allies' pro-equality politics, but that may just further incense far-right activists in the former Soviet state. From the NY Times: "The LGBT community has found itself the subject of heated political attacks, and subsequent social reactions... New homophobic and anti-gay Georgian-language Facebook groups have also emerged, including one in which its members debate the best way to kill gay people."

And this election is your chance to break that stalemate. At stake is not simply a choice between two candidates or two political parties, but between two paths for our country.”

6a00d8341c730253ef01676542c07b970b-800wi Mitt Romney was also in Ohio today, and claimed the commander-in-chief's policies are driving the nation "forward over a cliff."
