Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal: How Did It End?

He was older and he hated the attention.

Those were the reasons cited by sources for Jake Gyllenhaal's decision to split with Taylor Swift after a few weeks of dating.

But the latest issue of Us Weekly claims to have all the real scoop on the break-up, highlighted by this supposed fact: Jake dumped Taylor over the phone!

If true, this would mark the second time Swift has received sad news in such a manner. Joe Jonas (in)famously broke her heart with a 27-second call a couple years ago.

How is Taylor taking the split? Not well.

At last week's People's Choice Awards, a friend says the singer “was not her usual bubbly self. She didn’t eat anything, seemed very sad and definitely wasn’t having a good time."

At one point, Taylor found Selena Gomez and reportedly and said to her: ‘It’s so good to see you. I need a friend tonight.’”

Source: Jake Gyllenhaal on "Cloud Nine" Over Taylor Swift, Planning Rendezvous in Paris

Reports indicate that Taylor Swift is more serious about her career than Jake Gyllenhaal.

But the same can't be said about the actor's feelings regarding this young singer. According to Hollywood Life sources, Jake has dated since his split with Reese Witherspoon, but "no one has put a smile on his face like Taylor. He’s really on cloud nine."

Call them Swiftenhaal or Gyllenwift. Just don't call Taylor and Jake a casual couple any longer.

Following casual dates in NYC and California, things between Swiftenhaal will allegedly heat up this December, as insiders claim: “The two are planning to spend the holidays together. And Jake plans to meet Taylor in Paris at the beginning of the new year, where she’ll be performing.”

How did these two even cross paths?

Maggie Gyllenhaal supposedly met Swift at a charity event and thought she was a "sweet girl with a good head on her shoulders." She told her brother the same.

But might she have walked her sibling into a trap? Will Swift soon pen a revenge song titled "Dear Jake?" Unlikely, a source says.

“He’s not like the other men Taylor has dated. Jake is no John Mayer. He’s a very sweet and sensitive guy. He treats women with respect.”

Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal: Spotted Around NYC!

Is the world ready for Gyllenswift?

According to witnesses, Taylor Swift was backstage at Saturday Night Live this weekend, supporting friend and host Emma Stone. But the singer wasn't alone: Jake Gyllenhaal was by her side.

“She looked like she was dreaming while she was there," reports Lainey Gossip. "And they left together. And they’ve been seen all around New York together: brunch, shopping, what people do when they start dating."

What do you think of the potential for Gyllenswift/Swyllenhaal?

Swift has been in the news a lot lately, mostly because her new album comes out today, but also because at least one of the singles off it is clearly dedicated to John Mayer. And not in a good way.

In other words: if this rumor is true, the 29-year old Gyllenhaal - who dated Reese Witherspoon for two years - might wanna be careful. He doesn't want Taylor to title a song "Dear Jake" on her next CD.

Jake Gyllenhaal and Matt Damon Were Considered for ‘Avatar’

“Avatar’s” director James Cameron confessed recently that he had briefly considered both Jake Gyllenhaal and Matt Damon for the starring role in the highly successful movie but they both turned it down.

But James also admits he didn’t really try too hard to convince either of them. And he only approached them to make the studio happy. “I don’t think they ever had a problem with the CG. Honestly, did I go out and try to woo them? No. I had my heart set on Sam. Maybe they sensed my lack of 100 percent commitment from me. Maybe it was the subject matter. This was a big Star Wars-type movie. They’re both serious actors’, said James.

So instead, as we all now know, the role went to Sam Worthington, who James admits, was always his first choice. When he got the role, Sam was living in his car while struggling to become an actor.

Lucky Sam is probably going to go on to become a huge movie star. Good for him.

Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal Break Up

Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal are no longer together.

We know you're sad. Please, hold a vigil tonight in your area.

The two end things two weeks ago, even as they insisted they hadn't. "They needed time to figure it out and they were on different coasts," a source says.

"When they were finally together, they talked things out and decided they're not going to be together anymore. There are no other people involved."

"The relationship just ended, as is often the case. It just fizzled out. But they also wanted to be careful and private about it because of Reese's kids."

FAREWELL, GYLLENSPOON: Jake and Reese had a good run.

The new never talked about their romance. Earlier this month, Gyllenhaal made headline news when he used the g-word while promoting Brothers.

"I've learned so much from the kids in my life, and somehow they just become the center of your life and the way you look at things," the actor said.

"Obviously I exist in my girlfriend's world and my sister's world in a different way, but it's opened my heart and I want to be grown up as a result of it."

For now, though, it's a return to bachelorhood for ol' Jake.
