The Jake & Taylor Thing Is Interesting

I don't really care about Jake Gyllenhaal and Taylor Swift, but what I do find interesting is that Jake flew across the country to take Taylor out for dinner. It seems that whatever they had whether real or not is over, so why fly across the country? What was so important they had to do it in person instead of via a phone call or something. It happened on Wednesday night so wouldn't it have made more sense to hang out at the Golden Globes together on Sunday night? You know, make a week out of it or something.
