Jake Gyllenhaal and his sister, Maggie Gyllenhaal, may be famous actors with equally A-list squeezes, but it looks like their parents haven’t been reaping the benefits of their children’s success.
According to divorce documents obtained by TMZ, Stephen Gyllenhaal and Naomi Foner are in deep financial trouble. The couple, who separated last January, apparantly acquired some serious debt during the course of their marriage, including mortgage payments, home equity lines of credit against their two homes, several credit cards and “various outstanding loans.”

Naomi, a screenwriter, says she had to take out a loan during the writer’s strike because she had no money coming in.

Gyllenhaal allegedly told Foner of their finances, “I have been clear that if worse comes to worse, I will let all of this collapse into ruin, just as I believe letting the markets crash and burn are the right approach.”

Uh huh. How about just asking your kids for help?

I am so glad that Maggie is supporting such a great initiative as Hear The World, it is defiantly an issue that does not get enough notice and it affects so many people. I can name 6 people I know with hearing loss, how many can you name?

Stäfa, Switzerland (PRWEB) November 10, 2008 — Actress Diane Kruger has become the most recent Hollywood star to offer herself as an ambassador for the Hear the World initiative. The international star is the cover model for the current issue of the Hear the World magazine.

In addition to Kruger, Mischa Barton, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Billy Idol have joined the team of famous ambassadors. All have been photographed for the cause by Bryan Adams, the initiative’s official photographer, in the Hear the World pose – with a hand behind one ear, symbolising conscious hearing. The goal of their participation is to raise awareness about the issue of hearing loss.

Kruger celebrated her international breakthrough with the role of Helen in Wolfgang Peterson’s “Troy.” She is currently filming Quentin Tarantino’s new film “Inglorious Bastards” with Brad Pitt, which is scheduled to appear in cinemas in 2009. With her star power, Kruger plays an important role in drawing attention to the message of the initiative.

The Hear the World magazine utilizes a culture and lifestyle platform to address the topic of hearing. Always linking content to the subject of hearing and sound, the magazine’s features focus on a broad range of topics, from music, to art, nature, and everything else that makes life more beautiful. The magazine is supported by the global Hear the World initiative, which is dedicated to raising awareness about hearing.

A team at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore estimated that 55 million Americans have hearing loss in one or both ears. One out of six, or 29 million adults, have some trouble discerning speech, more than previous estimates, they reported in the Archives of Internal Medicine.

Current ambassadors for Hear the World include Plácido Domingo, Joss Stone, Mick Jagger, Amy Winehouse, Harry Belafonte and Annie Lennox, among others.

Hear the World magazine is published quarterly and is available at select newsstands and at airports internationally for $8 an issue. A free copy of the magazine can be ordered at www.hear-the-world.com. Net proceeds of the magazine benefit the Hear the World Foundation.

Okay, so wondered why I’m not around here? Well me and my family was very unfortunate when we decided to go away for a weekend (3-4 weeks ago), while we weren’t home we had a break in and they more or less took everything there was to take, including my precious laptop. I have gotten a new laptop but I just moved into my new appartment last week and I don’t have internet yet and am having loads of problems with getting it. My friend was so nice to let me borrow her wireless internet until I get something myself. But don’t expect me to get back to the usual amount of updates for a couple of more weeks.

Just added a 2 recent appereances and a set of candids of Maggie and Peter out to vote (4th November).

The parents of Jake and Maggie Gyllenhaal are set to divorce.

Naomi Foner Gyllenhaal filed for divorce from Stephen Gyllenhaal on Wednesday, Los Angeles County court documents show.

The couple married in 1976 and have property in Los Angeles and Martha’s Vineyard.

During an interview last year, Jake, 27, was asked what relationship advice his parents had given him.

He responded, “This marks the 30th wedding anniversary of my parents. A young man came up to my dad and asked him, ‘What’s it like being married to the same woman for 30 years?’

“My dad answered, ‘She’s not the same woman.’”

Naomi – a screenwriter -  has written the screenplays for several feature films, including Running on Empty (for which she received an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay and won a Golden Globe Award for the same category), Losing Isaiah, and most recently Bee Season. She was previously married to historian and Columbia Professor Eric Foner.

Stephen – a film director – directed the film version of the Pete Dexter novel Paris Trout, which was nominated for five Emmy awards.

He is also a poet who has been published in literary journals such as Prairie Schooner and Nimrod. His first collection of poetry, Claptrap: Notes from Hollywood, was published in June 2006.

A rep for Jake couldn’t reached for comment as Fame went to press.
