"I found myself, six months after having a baby, in my underwear, getting my picture taken. How did I get here?" Gyllenhaal, 30, tells USA Today. "It was like playing a character. They're sexy, but they also have a little bit of irony in them. I love that."

Still, she says she didn't realize "how scrutinized" she'd be for showing so much skin.
"My brother [Jake] called me and said, 'I'm in Heathrow [airport in London], and there's a 12-foot picture of you upside down in a negligee,'" the Dark Knight actress said. "People are really rough on you when you do things like that. But I had a good time."

She says she was "a good 20 pounds heavier" after Ramona's birth in 2006 " and the lingerie helped her feel sexy again.

"They make nursing bras, and I went right in there and bought three pairs of matching bras and underwear," she says. "All of a sudden, to have a hot-pink something peeking out from my shirt a little bit " it made me feel so good."
After taking over Katie Holmes' role in the Dark Knight, she says "the drive is back" to find more meaty roles.
But now that she's a new mom, she admits, "there are things I can't do anymore. There was a movie that wanted to shoot off the coast of Tasmania, on an island that had no inhabitants, no store.
Her fianc Peter Sarsgaard "was great," Gyllenhaal said. "He said, 'If you want to do it, we'll figure it out; I'll go with you and take care of her.' I think it would be irresponsible. I can't do that anymore. Your priorities shift."

Katie SIt's just a cute little dattle about brother and sister. It shows that even though they are famous they still get along like normal brothers and sisters do! It's refreshing. Plus I like how she is choosing her projects to go along better with raising her child and not the other way around. It's shows descent parenting.report abuseposted July 13, 2008 9:27 AM PDT

karenI think that if you can look that great after you just had a baby, go for it. She looks terrific. I think its cute that Jake called her to tease her. My sons gave my daughter a lot of teasing when she did pageants and modeling, its a right of passage for a guys sister. And it shows that the brothers actually care enough to give her a bad time. Cute.report abuseposted July 11, 2008 9:58 AM PDT
