Maggie Gyllenhaal's Racy Ad Campaign Makes Little Brother Jake Uncomfortable
Yet another actress is sounding off on how urgently they needed to slim down after giving birth, and unlike sourpuss Jessica Alba or wine-guzzling Gwyneth Paltrow, this is a chick we actually like. Beginning the rounds of press for her role as Katie Holmes' Replacement in the highly anticipated, potentially Oscar-adorned Dark Knight, Maggie Gyllenhaal tells USA Today how she speedily dropped all her baby weight before stripping down for some racy Agent Provocateur lingerie ads:
"'I found myself, six months after having a baby, in my underwear, getting my picture taken.' She says she was 'a good 20 pounds heavier' after Ramona's birth in 2006 -- and the lingerie helped her feel sexy again...'It made me feel so good.'"
Though Maggie admittedly looks hotter than she ever has in the photos (a closer look below), her manly bareback rider brother Jake didn't "feel so good" after seeing the 12-foot version at an airport recently...
As Us says, "She didn't realise 'how scrutinized' she'd be for showing so much skin. 'My brother called me and said, "I'm in Heathrow, and there's a 12-foot picture of you upside down in a negligee." People are really rough on you when you do things like that.'" Not only is this admission understandable, it's also very media savvy. After all, can you imagine how much shit we all would've given Jake if he admitted that his big sis looked "hot" in lingerie?

James Haven is somewhere wishing he was in Jake's position.

BTW she got her ass fired for being too much of a diva. And when you're taking work away from Kate Moss, being too much of a diva takes a LOT of work.

Maggie is lucky that she's going to look the same for the next 20 years-she has the face of a 50 year old.

@Cam/ron:
Yes, she's sweet in the two side shots, but in the middle one she looks like a chupacabra about to leap for its goat.

@mothrafairy: Whatever, padre.
Maggie's a dish in those pinups.

@CourageousCoward:
No, no: it's a reflexive disdain, by which the Dakotas are as lamentable as the Elles, the Spencers as repugnant as the Abigails, the Bens as deplorable as the Caseys, etc.
Rendering of spite is not dependent upon an actual Fraternal Fame Time-Frame. It can be cast in either direction, like a wet blanket across the overall phenomenon.
And it is my problem, as I have admitted.

@ShinySideUp: Awww, dammit, you beat me to it.

@Hubert Cumberdale: If that's true, I would so do your Mom.

But isn't ad campaign months old? She looks old.

Wasn't Jake's erotic fixation on his sister the whole plot of "Donnie Darko"?

@Hubert Cumberdale:
I'd do your Mom.

daddy likes!

Gotta admit: Maggie does pin-up/varga really well.

@mothrafairy: The problem with your statement is that Maggie is the more-talented, older and famous-first, sister.

She looks about as natural in those outfits as a sturgeon in a tuxedo.
And the face! Like the business end of a cast-iron skillet.
Eh, I know it's mean, but I'm having a problem, lately, with Hollywood's All-Siblings-Automatically-Get-To-Be-Hired policy.

Could we see Jake in the same lingerie
I mean it couldn't hurt
his 5 o'clock shadow would match perfectly
NoGrumpys
Does anyone know if they still have one of those love handle cumberbunds in stock?

@kylo4: Although watching his own sister in nude scenes is his choice, they're not thrown in his face while on the moving walkway. And if he's watched his own sister in nude scenes he's got other problems.

The Secretary. 'Nuf said.

I'm also sure Jake wasn't happy with the three nude scenes she's done, especially in Sherry Baby.

She looks like my mom.
