Last month, I wrote a post called “Taylor Swift is the new Jennifer Aniston”. There was a report floating around that Aniston sauntered over to Taylor Swift at the People’s Choice Awards and told Taylor to “hang in there” after Jake Gyllenhaal had dumped Swift over the phone. This struck me as funny/interesting because if you really give the personal lives/publicity campaigns around Swifty and Aniston a cursory look, they are strikingly similar these days. You might even say Swifty is the younger, twangier Aniston. Aniston Lite, if you will. Anyway, Life & Style reports that Jake is all over Aniston Classic – the two apparently spent Jennifer’s birthday (yesterday) by having an “intimate dinner”. In my mind, “intimate dinner” equals “Aniston getting hammered on 42 tequila shots and trying to make out with Jake while he gives the waiter the sexy side-eye.”
Life & Style’s Scene Queens can exclusively reveal that Jennifer Aniston celebrated her 42nd birthday on Feb. 11 by having an intimate dinner with Jake Gyllenhaal in NYC.
The startlet took a break from her whirlwind promotional tour for her new film Just Go With It and made her way to The Spotted Pig restaurant where she dined in a private room with a group of friends and her former hunky co-star.
“Jake and Jen looked really happy and really seemed to be enjoying themselves,” an eyewitness tells the Scene Queens. “They looked like they were strategizing a way to exit the restaurant probably because they didn’t want to be photographed together.”
Shortly after their discussion Jen exited the restaurant with her friends in tow. Though Jake was not in the group, it is possible he could have snuck out the back door while no one was looking.
This romantic birthday dinner only adds fuel to the fire that Jen and Jake’s longtime friendship could be something more. The duo was spotted just weeks ago at a pre Golden Globes party in L.A where they were flirty. Despite their 11-year age difference, Jen and Jake have had a strong bond since they filmed The Good Girl in 2002.
“We took care of each other,” Jen has said about Jake. While the timing may have been off in the past, both Jake and Jen are currently single.
“Jen and Jake looked very comfortable with each other,” the eyewitness tells us. “They were glowing.”

My only problem with this is the identification of Aniston as a “starlet”. Forty-two is too old to be a “starlet”. Just call her an actress or a star. But yes, Jake and Jennifer, making sweet, sweet love. This isn’t the first time there have been rumors about the two of them. I remember an incident, I believe in 2007, back when Jake was dating Reese Witherspoon. Jake presented an award to Jennifer at some event for… GLAAD, I want to say. And Jennifer basically dry humped him on the stage and people were all “Jennifer is trying to steal Jake from Reese!” Honestly, though, Jake and Jennifer aren’t the worst idea. His image took a hit with the Swifty stuff, so now he’s trying to butch it up with Madame Cougar/Miss People Magazine. Aniston’s fan base will embrace him once again and next week we’ll have stories about how Jake is “hotter” than Brad Pitt and how Brad is texting Jennifer because he’s so worried that Jake will break her heart. Good stuff.
Also – these photos are from 2005. Look how different both of them look!
