My friend Katie says she's seen worse. Oh you cynical New Yorkers!

Jake Gyllenhaal Rides The Q Train!

Just cuz Jake-n-Taylor broke up, doesn't mean the dude is just sitting around his sister Maggie's big brownstone crying into his Cheerios.

NO SIR! HE'S RIDING THE Q TRAIN LIKE THE REST OF US CHUMPS!

True he's probably going to visit his horse stables, or off for a helicopter ride with Donald Trump and lots of hot models, but STILL! He's getting there on the Q!

Celebrities...they're just like us.
