JAKE'S BOY-TOY PLEADS GUILTY!

Yahoo News reports: Austin Nichols, who portrayed the title character in HBO's "John From Cincinnati" (but may be known better to Missionaries far and wide as Jake Gyllenhaal's trusty boy-wonder), has pleaded guilty to impaired driving and paid a $1,000 fine. The 27-year-old actor pleaded by mail on Thursday to a misdemeanor charge of driving while visibly impaired. The plea stems from an incident in Jackson last August, when Nichols was staying with family at nearby Clark Lake. "John From Cincinnati" was canceled last year. Nichols also appeared in "Deadwood."
