Gyllenhaal Gets A Gig On TV

Maggie Gyllenhaal that is.
It seems the less appealing Gyllenhaal sibling has got herself a new job. Gyllenhaal will be hosting the upcoming 2009/2010 season of the PBS Emmy Award-winning series Independent Lens.
Independent Lens showcases films, documents, mini-series and more created by many independent filmmakers.
Former hosts of the series include Edie Falco, Angela Bassett, and Susan Sarandon.
Gyllenhaal claims, “I'm a passionate believer in the power of independent film. Independent Lens filmmakers ignore the rules and spend years pursuing diverse stories about people not normally seen on TV. I am truly honored to present their work as the new host of Independent Lens."
This season is set to include 27 independent films and will premiere on October 13th.
Somehow we doubt people will tune in just to see her, but at least she got some extra work to add to her resume.

Kind of like you, being the least appealing of all the celebrity bloggers out there.
I doubt Gyllenhall is hurting for work. She is hugely talented and has done a number of great films.
You are so hateful about everyone, don't you ever get sick of being such a bitter, hatefilled bitch?
She's a good actress, but I think she will forever be picked for "character roles" due to her, well, duddy clothing and image.
Meanwhile, she was in the top grossing film of 2008…..speaking of resumes first
I'm actually pretty excited for this. You should tune in, too, Perez. You might learn something.
MG is a friggin' genius when it comes to acting. Lay Off.
I LOVE Maggie woot!!!
what was she thinking when she got dressed?
god, she looks so old
wow jake looks just like his mother…
Perez, you are a giant uncircumsized dick. Maggie Gyllenhaal is awesome.
I really like her actually.. I will watch when I see her.. so.. there is one
You're such woman hater Perez.
"The less appealing Gyllenhaal"?!
Really? Do you feel like less of a loser now? Do you feel like a big shot because you can take pot shots at a talented actress from the safety of your couch with your razor dull wit?
What a useless fucking tool you are.
Re: LULU~* – Oh ! I stand corrected ! I think she's talented, just think that she a bit of a dud on the personal side. ONLY my opinion.
she is so FUG!!! She is a decent actress, but nothing I would call amazing. But then again, compared to what is out there now, this one is the top pick…
Re: JigSaw – I almost think she does that on purpose.Did you ever see "SECRETARY"?She looked awesome wearing a saddle!!!!!
Oh my goodness. What an ugly old hag. She effed up TDK. If HL was one sextuplet and all of his brothers were playing Jokers, they still couldn't have made the movie better, because of this old hag. BTW I am only four years younger than her but I could claim that she is my grandmother.
She looks like a vagina.
And a little like Wilford Brimley.
She is so much smarter than you.
She always looks like an old women. She desperately needs help.
FOR WHAT REASON IS SHE A CELEBRITY?
Wow. Why are you always so mean to Maggie? Did she snub you or something, Pervez? She may not be a beauty, but I find her unusual looks appealing and she has been great in everything I have seen her in.
Oh please. Not everyone can be as handsome and sexy as you perez.
Plus this chick is in one of my favorite films: Stranger than fiction, ya'll should check that one out!!
Does she have bad teeth or did her publicist tell her to smile that way for some ridiculous reason?
I love Maggie but that dress is ugly.
WOOOAH, she's looking OLD!!!
She's so haggard! I hope they got her a decent make-up artist.
Shes not old, I don't undertstand why she LOOKS so grandmotherly. Its just wrong! Everything is wrong. The hair has got to go, and that granny dress too! Who is her stylist? WHERE is her stylist? Someone help this girl out!
she is cute
Perez hates women so much it is ridiculous.
Honest to God, Perez/Barbara.
Maggie Gyllenhaal has more talent in her little finger than either of you will ever have.
Yes, she is artistic, classy, & talented and YES, people will tune in to watch her.
Intelligence counts ..you should try it sometime. Never mind, no hope for you
Re: Poindexter-X – AGREED!!!!!!!!!!
Well, she must be so sad, playing roles like The Secretary (brilliant!) instead of some half-bionic futuristic dumbwit that only teenagers want to fuck.
I actually think she is quite pretty, and a good actress, she just needs a bit more weight round her face, most people don't suit being super skinny and she's proof of it.
And anyway, the staff of this blog aren't exactly sex bombs so they can stfu.
she is soooo "UGLY, oh yeah, she's an ugly girl."
I would tune in just for her. Go Maggie. Fuck you Perez.
Re: KarenKski – Um, maybe because she is talented?
People who watch TV just because someone is physically appealing are morons. That's why I'm the least interested by Brad Pitt: what a boring person. I don't agree that you need someone to look like Angelina Jolie to turn on TV and want to wantto watch them. Some people have strong persona and charisma that outbids their physical assets. The reason why this world is sooo fucking boring is that people care for beautiful people that are actually extremely boring. And you encourage that, Perez. But where do you fit in this picture? If you were extremely cute and boring, I wouldn't be here. Wake up!
I somehow doubt you've got a FUCKING CLUE about anything…
I love her. I think she's so pretty. I'd love to see her on Mad Men.
She's talented but when is she going to get over this lame hipster/bag lady/granny phase of hers? Why does she insist on looking dowdy all the time? That dress is fugly. I am so over actresses that dress ugly on purpose.
she looks soo OLD in this photo!!!
I think she looks like this on purpose…
wow that picture is freakin hideous!
You must really hate her to choose the ugliest picture ever. This girl is pretty, there's lots of better looking pics of her I'm sure.
And as for your comment ("at least she got some extra work to add to her resume"), who the hell are you to make that kind of assumption? Half of your posts are about low-class talentless people, you shouldn't be talking shit about Maggie who's a great actress.
Wow she looks really old/bad.
Perez, why do you have to be so catty? I'm sure Maggie Gyllenhall is a perfectly nice person as doesn't deserve to be referred to as "less appealing." It's not like she's one of those talentless media whores like the Kardashians or Paris Hilton. Maggie Gyllenhall is a good actress.
She's not even that great. Everyone tries to make her sound like this A-list talent. She's a stupid ugly whore who anyone would love whenever she decides to spread her legs again. She's a fucken waste.
Re: BetterFasterStronger – Yeah, when they're fucking photoshopped beyond recognition
less appealing? She's smokin hot and an awsome actress! Did you even see Sherrybaby, Secretary or Donnie Darko?
I'm sooo looking forward to this. goooo Maggie.
Re: KarenKski –
old women? what, a split personality or something? She's omly ONE woman. and also, why is she a celebrity? well, watch her movies and you'll see. simple as that.
Re: wicked_game –
"the staff of this blog aren't exactly sex bombs so they can stfu" ha ha, you're awsome…and SO right.
Re: Helloo nurse! –
whoa..jealous much?! Maggie is fantastic and you know it, so don't even…
She is an incredible actress & I love that she is not a clone of every fake looking Barbie doll in Hollywood. She is uniquely beautiful.
Re: Siouxsie Sway – Yeah, my comment was to make sure everyone knows that I'm aware of her being fantastic, which just so happens to be a non-existent/pseudo thing.
Less appealing? Jake is hot but did you SEE Maggie in Secretary? Heaps of people I know think she was uber hot in that and James Spader (drools)
She'd make a great Wicked Witch of the West if they remake the Wizard of Oz. Her face is already melting. I don't know who is uglier. Melty or Drew Barrymore.
