In other words, thanks to a brave footsoldier of the information revolution like Mad Megan's blog, we can now share with you what Jake Gyllenhaal got from his parents for Christmas his birthday*:

mark · 08/02/06 09:03PM

· Well, at least no one's going to accuse Maggie Gyllenhaal of faking her pregnancy. Is that mean? Maybe we've still got unresolved betrayal issues about her carrying another man's seed.

Defamer's technical team is still working out the kinks on an exciting new technology that would allow us to stream PrivacyWatch sightings in real time, but for now we have to settle for the physical limitations imposed by thumbs on the tiny keyboards of Blackberries and Sidekicks.

· Oddly, celebrity sightings in South Africa: "Samuel L Jackson dancing without bodyguards at the India Arie concert in Cape Town April 3rd. Last week Dennis Haskins (yes the father figure that shaped every kid who grew up in the late 1980's early 1990's as Mr Belding from Saved By the Bell) surprisingly withou an entourage and not so surprisingly without hair ordering drinks from Rhodes House, a trendy Cape Town club. Coolio turning down free pot at an outdoor rave in the Cape Tonian suburbs this last weekend."
· A hairless Tim Robbins? " thought i saw what appeared to be Tim Robbins at the Equinox Gym at 19th/Broadway on Monday April 21st...his head was newly shaved and he wore glasses. Is this possible? Only a trainer spoke to him."
· "Thursday 4/17 5:30 PM. [NY Attorney General] Eliot Spitzer jogging (more like running) and sweating on 84th Street and Madison near Met Museum. He had on alarmingly unflattering white sweatpants but nevertheless had a cute butt. (Yes, I checked out Eliot Spitzer's butt.)"
· Saturday 4/18 2:30 PM. Sonja Braga in the cute tea salon on 22nd St. near the Nan Goldin show. She was facing the window and holding court.
· "my coworker saw Maggie Gyllenhaal at the Angelika coming out of 'A Mighty Wind' last night, and my other coworker saw Toby Maguire in his Peter Parker clothes shooting spiderman stuff near City Hall on saturday. The stunt double was there in full spidey gear, which according to Jon, was much more exciting."
· "I just ran into Chris Robinson, Mr. Kate Hudson,bearded and all, shopping for cds at Other Music. Meanwhile across the street, shivering, screaming hordes of Madonna fans waited in line for an audience with the queen..."
· "just had lunch at cafe gitane (mott bet. houston and prince). saw jake gyllenhaal and kirsten dunst there. he looked yummy if a bit groggy (it was 1pm); she looked cute if a bit zitty sans makeup. he was smitten and rubbing his hand on her face. very lovey dovey. hope it lasts."
· "Saddam Hussein (or one of his six doubles) on the R train rolling into Astoria at 2:00pm today. He didn't have on an olive drab uniform, but the combo of hair, 'stache, paunch, jowels (sp?), and rubbery lips - and I swear to Allah - even that mole on his face (right side) made me swear it was him. Someone was sleeping on the job at the airport again, obviously."

· Maggie Gyllenhaal - Sunday, April 13 - Bedford Ave and N. 5th - "Appears to be the tallest girl alive. Skinny, but not the scary skinny of a model. Wearing a long black sort of wrap, with trench coaty accents. Seems to have gotten the 'Williamsburg Special' haircut while in the nabe."
