But after the incident with Jennifer at Los Angeles' 18th Annual GLAAD Media Awards "she's beginning to wonder".The source added: "She always thought Jake was intelligent and charming. That's why she's so stunned by the photographs of Jake and Jen. She's really hurt by what she's seen. They seem to be very explicit and everyone knows Jennifer's looking for love."Jake, who starred with Jennifer in 'The Good Girl', was presenting the former 'Friends' star with the Vanguard Award. Jennifer, 38, was formerly married to Brad Pitt before they split and he embarked on a relationship with Angelina Jolie.

CAPTAIN MARVEL FOR JAKE GYLLENHAAL ?

Jake Gyllenhaal has not been cast as Captain Marvel. New Line executives were believed to be pursuing the actor to play the superhero in new comic book movie 'Shazam', but screenwriter John August has now rubbished the reports. August wrote on his personal website: "I can pretty much assure you he has never heard of the project and we have never discussed him. After several months of meetings, casting has come up exactly zero times. There is no casting list."While August insists Jake has not been contacted about the role, he admits the 'Brokeback Mountain' star would make a convincing superhero. August said: "If we did have a casting list, Jake's name would probably be on it, but trust me, there is not a list. There is just a script to be written, which I should probably get back to."Last week, Jake was said to be at the centre of bidding war to star in two separate comic book blockbusters. As well as being linked to 'Shazam', which is based on a DC comic, Jake was also rumored be replacing Tobey Maguire as Spider-Man in the fourth installment of the hit movie series.Tobey has already admitted he is ready to retire as the web-slinging superhero, and director Sam Raimi believes Jake would be an ideal replacement.

He said: "The idea of a serial killer is whatever we fear within ourselves. It's our own psyche, in a way."To me, the serial killer is obsession, and to me the serial killer is aspects of people's personalities that they don't want to deal with or that they indulge so much that it is dangerous."Gyllenhaal stars alongside Robert Downey Jr., who plays an alcoholic journalist reporting on the gruesome events.The Zodiac Killer murdered five known victims between December 1968 and October 1969.The murderer got his name from a series of taunting letters he sent to the local media until 1974, which included four cryptograms, three of which have never been solved.To this day, the identity of the killer is unknown, although the San Francisco Police Department recently reopened the case after marking it "inactive" in April 2004.
