Jake turns 24 today! If you’re on Twitter, be sure to leave him a birthday message! Alternatively, if you don’t have Twitter, why not leave a message here? (obviously, you can still leave a message here even if you have tweeeted him). We’ll tweet him the link later!

Hey, folks.  Guess who made the 30 Hottest New Hollywood Actors list? That’s right, our very own Jake Abel. He made number 23! It’s amazing to see him starting to really get recognized for his work. He’s among fabulous company in the count down, including his good friend Logan Lerman at number 7! Which you can all check out here.

It seems definite that Jake will be in The Host. Several sites suggest that Jake has closed the deal. Max Irons (who you may know from Red Riding Hood) will be playing the other lead role of Jared Howe. (We’re trying to get confirmation from Jake directly.)

How do you feel about this? Have you read The Host?

Jake is reportedly a front-runner for one of two male lead roles, Ian, in the movie adaptation of The Host, written by Stephenie Meyer who is best known for writing the Twilight series. (Fun fact: Jake also auditioned for the role of Edward.) Saoirse Ronan, who Jake worked with in The Lovely Bones, has already been cast as the female lead, Melanie Snyder. The movie will be directed by Andrew Niccol, who also wrote the script and most recently directed In Time, starring Justin Timberlake. Actors up for the other male lead role are, depending on how the casting goes, Max Irons, Kit Harington and Liam Hemsworth. Niccol wants to start shooting the movie as early as February, with a tentative release date set for 29 March 2013.

Hi guys,

Sorry for the lack of updates recently, but I have great news for you! We have found someone to pass the torch onto. Our new admin, Sprite, has committed herself to keeping you updated on Jake’s career, alongside me. Becca has decided to step down permanently.

I would just like to stay:
Sprite, welcome to the site, I look forward to working with you!
Becca, thank you for your hard work. This site would not have existed without you!
To everyone else, I hope you’ll continue to check the site for info on Jake!
