It looks like the only X-rays coming out of Jake Gyllenhaal's eyes will be of the metaphorical, dreamy variety. A spy tells us that Jake's "not even on the list" for potential Supermen. We know that it's very hard to believe, but in their rush to declare the Super-Exclusive, Star magazine might have fallen prey to a publicist's ruse [Ed. note—Publicists!

The always-reliable Star says they have the mega-, extra-, ultra-exclusive scoop that dreamy-eyed The Day After Tomorrow eye-dreamboat Jake Gyllenhaal will be the Man of Steel in the next Superman flick. It all smells a little Tobey from here, but that seemed to work out pretty well. Unfortunately for those with visually-triggered seizure issues, Star says that McG is going to direct. Even in the middle of a McG-induced grand mal, we have a feeling you'll still be pierced by Jake's dreamy-eyed X-ray vision. Did we mention Jake's eyes recently? We're told they're dreamy.
