Is the NYDN tipster blind?  "Jake Gyllenhaal was spotted yesterday "at 9:40 a.m., in a green T-shirt and sunglasses and riding on a skateboard, speeding by the Two Boots Pizzeria on Seventh Ave.," according to a tipster. Word to the wise, Jakey: Better stay off Eighth Ave. - in that part of town, you might not make it back alive."  Looks more like blue, no? ¶ When Jake Gyllenhaal, 25, spotted photographers, he hid behind his skateboard and plastic bag (pictured after the jump).  He also took his pregnant sister Maggie Gyllenhaal, 28, for a little ride down the street on his skateboard.  More pictures in the gallery!

American Idol 5 :: Top 6

Ace Young, a 25-year-old from Los Angeles, CA has been labeled a diva by tabloids and was sent packing last night.  Ace defended himself to reporters today saying, "Last night at my farewell dinner, (the producers) told me that I'm the easiest person to deal with in American Idol history. They love the fact that I was in by curfew and I did everything that they needed as far as the rules. I think it's just something (for tabloids) to talk about."  But I heard from a little birdie that Ace didn't let the Idol stylists touch him or tell him what to do with his look...  come on, listen to the professionals!!  Ace also commented on his suit from Tuesday saying, "That's the first suit I ever bought in my life – it was $2,000," he said.
