Jake & Maggie Gyllenhaal's Parents Call it Quits

Originally posted 10/17/2008 10:50AM

Naomi Foner – the mother of Maggie and Jake Gyllenhaal – has filed for divorce from their father, Stephen Gyllenhaal, Los Angeles court papers show.

Married for 30 years, Foner – a Golden-Globe winning screenwriter with credits including Running on Empty and Losing Isaiah – cites irreconcilable differences. She says the couple has been separated since Jan. 1.

Foner isn't seeking spousal support, and she also asks the court to deny Gyllenhaal – a film director – any support.

The papers were filed Wednesday.

Maggie Gyllenhaal: Heath Ledger's Joker Deserves an Oscar

Originally posted 07/22/2008 05:10PM

A posthumous Oscar for Heath Ledger for his Joker performance?

"I would vote for him," his Dark Knight cstar Maggie Gyllenhaal told reporters Monday at the film's London premiere.

Gyllenhaal, 30, said of Ledger's Oscar prospects that the "degree of difficulty should be incorporated into the award."

"To be that incredible in a movie that's this huge, that's about so many things, is really an accomplishment," she said. "In a way I feel funny thinking about the Oscars when he isn't alive, but at the same time I'm a member of the Academy and I would vote for him."

Maggie Gyllenhaal Hates Fiancé's Love Scenes

Originally posted 07/09/2008 09:00AM

Maggie Gyllenhaal is cool with onscreen nudity – so long as she's the one in the buff and not her actor-fiancé, Peter Sarsgaard.

"I hate it when Peter does a love scene," the actress, 30, admits in the August issue of Britain's Tatler. "He's very understanding – it doesn't seem to bother him [when I do one]."

She'd like to keep it that way. "I'd hate it [if he was doing it]," she says. "I'd put up with it, I'd understand, but I wouldn't like it."

• Maggie Gyllenhaal and fiancé Peter Sarsgaard, taking in a performance by Diana Ross at a Qatar Airways-sponsored dinner at New York's Lincoln Center. The couple listened as Ross sang her heart out for the guests – including Julianne Moore, Gayle King and Donald and Melania Trump – and feasted on a menu of chilled lobster ravioli, Harissa-dusted fillet of beef and plenty of good wine. Before Ross finished, the couple snuck out, holding hands and clearly enjoying themselves.
