Babe and the Bathwater

While there is never a time to condone driving while intoxicated. I don't think we should rush and throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Meaning, there should not be a campaign or rush of people telling Jake to dump Austin. There are two people in couple, not the thousands who watch from the outside. The relationship was them when they met, and it was just them yesterday and it will be them tomorrow. We have our opinions, but they are ours --that's it.

Yes there should be a consequence for actions. Yes there should be contrition for driving under the influence. I am sure that the State of Michigan and Austin will be working on what that consequence will be for him.

We can agree that drinking and driving is not right.

I hope we can agree to have level clear heads and be objective. I hope that we will not go wild in speculation about Austin or the current status of his relationship with Jake.

Clearly, this guy was either VERY upset about something and drowning his sorrows in booze or maybe he went to a party and had too much to drink.

I'm thinking it's the former and I feel bad for him.

I'm glad he didn't kill anybody or he wasn't physically hurt.

Special K said...

11:07 Thanks for stopping in.

But a name is so much nicer than a number, it there a name that we can call you?

Anonymous said...

Or it could just be that Austin likes to party, which he obviously should not mix with driving. :-(

Special K said...

We do not know why there was drinking --it could have been a party, it could have been dinner with a little more wine or beer than normal.

We do not know that he was drowning his sorrows. Or if it was done in a more celebratory way.

We do not know what happened before he got behind the wheel. We only know what happened when the policed pulled him over.

Exactly Destiny.

DUI is a serious offense.

Getting known through mug shots is not exactly recommended if you want to be known as a serious actor.

Then again. Look at Colin Farell. Boozing and drugging didn't prevent him from getting meaty roles.

Oh and I agree with Destiny. Wouldn't be surprise if it had to do with a that toxic mix of partying & driving.

I keep repeating myself, poor baby.

Of course it's wrong, but I'm just feeling for my Austy right now. As you say, Special, we don't know what's behind it, but in work terms at least he's been on a rollercoaster ride.

I don't think that mugshot was smug, I think he just looks very p***ed.

Hopefully that'll be the only lesson he needs to straighten up (no pun intended).

My brother, who had been a long-time drunk driver, gave up booze some ten years ago after a near-brush with the cops.

I also wonder how this incident will affect Jaustin.

Anonymous said...

Well, this just sucks.

Certainly hope this does not bollocks up the coming out time frame.

Austin, you have some 'splaining to do!

Anonymous said...

I just hope it doesn't hurt in getting roles, not sure if actors at his level are more affected by things like this than those on the A list. And I hate to say it, I do wonder about Ted's latest.

Anonymous said...

Okay, if Lindsay and Paris can get away with doing small time in jail for the same or more offences why is he in line for so much extra time or is California always a soft center for celebrity misadventures?

I believe there's something real about Ted's latest but I'm not sure this is related or happened coincidentally or what.

Mostly I'm glad Austin didn't hurt himself or someone else cuz it could have been a lot worse but everyone's assuming it's because of this and that but really we don't even know. He could be drinking and driving for all kinds of reasons and he might do it regularly but never gets caught! Who's to say? We don't know!! Non-celebs do it every day.

All I know is, glad he's okay and hasn't caused havoc, still like him and will support him and...have I mentioned Jake once? (Apart from there?)

Special K said...

Thanks 4:49 for your level headed remarks.

Is there a name that we could call you?

Florida Tom said...

I gotta think the way Ted speaks that two lovers like Toothy and the bf would be spending their summers together. I am at the point where I am beginning to doubt Ted's words. This is not a couple that is superdomesticating. That is if Austin is indeed bf Tile.

I hope this is an isolated incident for Austin. I hate to see him get a bad name.

Anonymous said...

Maybe it's Chris? But honestly, the clues Ted has given in the past point to Austin. And the impression I get when Ted refers to bf tile is that it's the SAME guy as from 2005.

Special K said...

Tom

I think they have been different times over the summer they are together. You don't have to be together every moment everyday to have a relationship, look at these past couple of years, they have been through so much and were everywhere and not together all the time.

But if you need my glasses just ask.

I hope that helps even a little.

Special K said...

Hi 9:43, is there another name you would like to be called?

That's for stopping in. Yes I agree it seems like Ted referred to Austin with all of his clues.

Re: Austin: Hey, shit happens. And he has to bear the consequences. But to imply that he was drinking because he was in despair or frustrated, in my opinion, will be very irresponsible. I am glad that 50,000 people are not judging everything I do each single day!

I think I prefer when we don't hear about our boys.

In these situations there is always a lot of what ifs but the facts are that nobody but Austin got hurt in this scenario. Which is how it should be.
Well actually how it should be is that he should never have got in the car.

It is probably as simple and as complicated as thinking he was alright to drive.
In other words, bad judgement.

But what's done is done.
How Austin handles this situation will be the true testament of his character.

My hope is that he will not make any excuses, take whatever punishment is meted out, never repeat it and move on with his life.

Very well said AG.

Does anyone think Jake might think twice before gettin himself in a jam? I do not think Momma Naomi would be happy!!!!

Anonymous said...

If you think Ted's BI about Toothy and bf was true about being stopped by the cops for a bit of somethin' somethin' in a car then Jake knows what it feels like to come thisclose to a brush with the law. I'm sure he feels for Austin (despite the reckless stupidity involved) and they are lucky not to have their mugshots all over the place together for a "lewd behaviour". Hope he takes care of Austin when he's down.

Anonymous said...

Despite how bad this situation is, it is actually going to be interesting to see how Jake reacts to this.

This isn't just an ex co-star of his. This is someone whom at the very least is always publically named as his BFF.
Jake is known amongst his fans for loyalty to his friends.

And this story has more legs than a spider. It just keeps going and going.

Austin might be kicking himself, Jake and Austin's family might be kicking Austin but I can guarantee you the people most pissed off about this situation are Jake's PR people.

They thought they were moving along nice and smoothly.

Stubborn TB said...

Please bear with me, this might be a really stupid theory, but I do think Jake is probably in Michigan right now.

I think that his PR would have released photos of Jake being somewhere else that isn't Michigan just now.
Nevermind that there is also the phone, but in true fashion the trolls and FGs would just ignore that and take new pics as confirmation that Austin isn't too important to Jake.

It would be an obvious move on the behalf of his PR, but as Jeese proved us they just love obvious photo-ops/pr plants as long as they take The Gay away from Jake.

Feel free to throw things at me now, but unless we don't find out anything to the contrary I'll just believe Jake is with Austin right now.

I hope you are right Orchid and Stuboorn. I would love to see Jake show up in Michigan. If he and Austin are together that is where he belongs right now.

Don't tabs like National Enquirer and Star tend to cover celebrity arrests.

Let's not jump on speculation or get built up over it being Jake.

Stubborn TB said...

Tom, you have to remember he always thought Jake was straight and sooo in love with Reese though.

So something must have happened that convinced him otherwise.

That said, I'm just going to see what happens. If it is true I hope the blogger means that Jake will make a statement on Monday, not that someone will out him. I would hate for that to happen.

Stubborn TB said...

"He" meaning the Jonathan Jaxon guy.

Stubborn TB said...

I know, I know, third time in a row now. I promise it's the last one now (at least I think so).

I have recently been allowed to borrow Specials rose-colored glasses and have looked at Austins arrest through them.

Now, I know a lot of people don't believe in Baby Tile, but what if said baby was born just recently and Austin was just celebrating that fact with old childhood friends on Thursday? And then still buzzed up on alcohol and the joy of being a new dad, he overestimated himself and decided he can still drive.

It could also explain the proud of himself look he has in his mug shot.

I know that everyone's mind is racing a mile a minute.

My biggest concern ME is that he would be outed and not allow to do so on their own time, their own way.

Anonymous said...

Looking at the wording, JJ doesn't say HE would do the deed, just that the actor would be outed. That can and does imply a third party source, and not necessarily involuntary.

Didn't mean to offend with my other comment. Just trying to lighten up the mood. Sorry, Special.

You're very astute. But if they uncover facts about Austin and/or Jake's secret gay life, they WILL contact their management and tell them they have this information. And will Jake or Austin confirm/refute, etc.? They also may make an arrangement to suppress the info unless a quid pro quo (Jake or Austin exclusive interview) is also done.

NE has done this a lot before.

Anonymous said...

I agree with you, Tom, JJ is laying his rep on the line with this one, and for a relatively new place, that is a tremendous gamble to take if the sources are dubious or it's just wishful thinking.

JJ must be super positive that it will occur tomorrow.

Let's not start getting hyper. Just wait. Hell, if someone's getting directly outed then I'm not exactly putting my party hat on. The only way I'd be a hundred percent happy if someone were making a statement themselves.

Tomorrow might all be something and nothing newswise. Let's just put the brakers on and take it from there if it happens.

Mr. Spumanti, I’m really happy you took the time to stop by, uninjured, back to your senses and hopefully comforted by your baby and your fans. J

Stubborn, sometimes you’re MIA for such long periods of time that your triple posts made me feel this way: :) :) :)

I love theories, the PR photo plant certainly makes sense but I have to admit the thought of Baby Tile still has me shaking my head like the most reasonable schoolmistress! :D

As for the possible digging and revelations about Jaustin’s private life following A’s arrest, as well as that Monday outing, I agree with Gossip Girl. Jake has enough power in HW to warrant some phone calls to his PR team. Even if the tabs have proofs, they will not want to antagonize CAA and 360.

Me, I think we all go through phases when our hearts and souls scream “Accio Jaustin!”. ;)

BTW, I love the names our former anon posters choose for themselves. “Candy Freak”, “Gossip Girl”, “Who’s That”, “Yowl” and “Jesssaying”. Hope we see these names show up many times in the future, yeah!

((Austi)) and ((Jake)) - I can't imagine what you're going through right now. I'm hoping this was just a terrible misjudgement by Austin. I'm sure dealing with his family, friends, Jake and the publicity is probably worse than any punishment that the state of Michigan can dole out. Thankfully nobody was hurt.

Baby Tile? I still can't see it. Ted is losing me with some of his recent posts.

Thanks for keeping the blog going, Special. This is a great place for TBs.

Going to admit to my geekatude here, but I've actually have Jake's autograph on four separate pictures: one is the TDAT EW with the light blue shirt, the other three are Jack Twist - a close-up smiling, in the Del Mar doorway right after the reunion kiss with Ennis, and in camp on their last night together also with Ennis (Heath's is also on the last two pics).

Dork to the bazillionth degree, I know.

Anonymous said...

I believe the JJ blogger is just getting in line with the rest of us in thinking that Jake is gay/bi.

If indeed it is about Jake.

If he didn't believe it before, then he's either started believing it because he's looked into the TT stuff or because of something he has seen/heard.
If it is the latter, I just hope it gives us a little more insight. And another blogger believing in the possibility can't be a bad thing especially when the trolls try to tell us only Ted believes this stuff.

Special K said...

And how are you so lucky ME to have 4!

Somehow that is unfair that you have so many and I have none.


Who's that.
I have to have my shaker of salt with me. But there is a speculation going around. I guess it is a just wait and see. It maybe a bust, it maybe someone else, or it maybe Jake.

Whoever it is -- I hope that is not a forced out.

If you refer to the possible Monday outing my first thought was “yeah right! no more roller-coaster ride for me thank you!”

From a PR perspective it doesn’t make sense. Rendition is coming. Jeese is in full swing. And in the career of a near-A-lister like Jake wouldn't any coming-out be a well-planned and well-timed development?

I don't think Austin's problems could trigger it either. Some may say that having to hide his support for his man may prove to be the last straw for Jake but as Heph wrote at FCC, if Jake comes out, Austin comes out. On the other hand, A is professionally "safe" (for the time being) because of his holding deal with HBO… But again, it would be an almost on-the-spot decision and with guys like Jaustin I just don't see this happening.

And I could go on like this with pros and cons up to Christmas eve, LOL!

The info seems legit although there are some mistakes (the arrest in 2006 instead of Ted's 2005). I don't know what I was waiting for but this is yet more grain of salt evidence to ponder. It seems that JJ does not have his own sources since he couldn't even verify who the rumored bf is.

As for the Friday hasty departure: It could be a coincidence that he left the very time you would if you heard in the morning that your boyfriend was busted and arranged the earliest flight to see him. I think it isn't

JJ just got a hold of Ted's 2 year plus TT BI, how can you say it's fact specific? Most likely he made up the Jake and Kristen scenerio at that hotel, A hotel that they both hung out at the time and was reported, easy to add. Also the arrest supposedly happened in '05 not last year, 06. If so Ted would have mentioned it last year. Safe to add a resturaunt because you really can't check since it happened in the parking lot. And when he says there are pictures of Jake and his BF all over the net and he even vacations with him, why do I think someone forwarded him that ONTD post with Jake and Chris that was posted a few weeks back. The guy is a fraud and not a very good one.

PS: The baby thing in the Westwood clinic is vague, which clinic and September?? When did Ted mention his TT baby story? Was it late January/ Feb? Nine months, JJ can count!!! LOL!!

The Friday departure must be related to Austin's arrest unless he couldn't stand another minute being apart from his dear beard-oops love, Reese.

I'm guessing you won't get photos because Jackson, Michigan doesn't sound like a paparazzi hub.

9:53 --

Thank you for your opinion on the matter.

Could we call you something other than 9:53?

JJ did NOT make up this story. Mind you, he got an e-mail from a source who knows Jake. Prior to this, JJ really thought Jake was straight and that his relationship wth Reese was real. He said so in his blog. Lighten up and give this kid a break.

A name is so much better than a number. Even if it is for one post, one hour or one day.

I guess I need more coffee than I thought if I am wrong about when Jake left MV last year. I

don't think this guy should be outing Jake, I think that should only be done to people who are in power and use their position in a way that is harmful to the gay community. But beyond that, I am not so sure he should be written off as knowing nothing. Why now? I think something is out there beyond the usual Ted TT stories, and he may just be picking up on them. ANd yes, it is is easy to fake details when no one can confirm them, but I'm just going to sit on the sidelines and see what happens. For all we know the NE is working on some kind of story and he is hearing about it.

I don't understand the hostility. JJ mentioned someone would be outed and thats what he did. Yes JJ is unreliable but it's more material to discuss.

Loved the MV sighting! I guess austi spumanti got his wish.

The poor typing, spelling, etc. above just proves to myself why I should not go out on Sunday nights.
