Uh oh. Has Jake Gyllenhaal turned into a WEREWOLF?????
Unless you've been living in a remote region of the Serengeti since, oh, 2005, you probably already know that the third installment of the Twilight Saga (Eclipse) hits theaters today.

Poor Jake. He is inconsolable, knowing that he's slowly morphing into the monster that just attacked him.
And so it begins. Jake Gyllenhaal is gone, and in his place is this HORRIBLE BEAST-MONSTER OF DOOM.
The beard is just the beginning. Before long, Jake will look like this:
And he will have to forfeit all of his love interests to vampires. The end. Read more...
