Noah's Arc

The wait has been more than 40 days and 40 nights but there is a dare to say a rainbow breaking through the storm clouds.

Austin will debut tonight on Friday Night Lights as a Julie's teacher,Noah.

It looks like he will be at Dillon High for 5 episodes, but in television that equation means he will be in for sweeps in November followed by FNL repeats and then be back for two episodes in January. So get a little now and save a little for later to start the new year off right. And Noah may return with another arc later.

New Austin Interview! (Thanks Pure!)

But it sounds like we were on the money with some of our earlier predictions here at OMG. And musical choices. ; )

  2. 2ND! LOL! Why didn't any of my teachers look like him? I'm looking forward to tonight. Thanks, Special K. And Pure for the interview. Billy Idol? Austin Idol!

    ReplyDelete
  3. Will Austin Idol wear leather pants like Billy? I'm woozy thinking about it.

    ReplyDelete
  4. Smile for the camera, maybe in his leather pants, Hot In The City and Dancin With Himself. I'd give Mony Mony to see that. Just hope he doesn't have Eyes Without A Face. Do ya think if Jaustin gets married it'll be a White Wedding? Catch My Fall if it ever happens.

    Who's Billy Idol? Never heard of him. :O

  5. omg... that is such an adorable interview. and seems like austin will have many episodes there this season.

    and it's promising about JFC... i do hope David Milch finds a way to continue this. funny that Austin pointed out "color of money" as the many-years-later sequel to "the hustler", he's such a film buff!

    when he mentioned the director of photography in FNL, it reminds me of Jake mentioning working with the cinematographer for Rendition in his interview in "Interview"...

    i hope jake can find time to watch FNL tonight.

    I'll have to wait til tomorrow though :(

    ReplyDelete
  6. LOL Mally!

    I'm not sure I can handle Austin looking like Billy Idol. Billy Idol must be really sick of people copying him. I remember Brad Pitt bleaching his hair after he and Jennifer Aniston broke up. In an interview JA said something like, "Hey Brad, Billy Idol called. He wants his look back." Austy better watch it or Billy's gonna be calling him!

  7. Just catching up with the discussion of Ted's new BI I read this:

    "But I think when the Toothy Tile saga resumed in the fall of 2006 with the bigwig and later baby tile, Jake and Austin were onto who were the sources for Ted's Toothy items and were feeding false info deliberately.

    From the beginning of BabyTile I thought two things (and said them at the time):

    a) it would be lunacy for a closeted couple, and

    b) it may have come from friends of friends hearing about a discussion Jake and Austin may have had about their future, and if that would involve kids. And if it did, how that could be achieved.

    I never understood why Ted pushed it so hard - though it is a juicy piece of meat for a gossipist. Anyway, it was only the cretinous JJ who said it was a fait accompli. Ted was always more circumspect about it, apart from one reference to Naomi Watt's pregnancy for timing. (Correct me if I'm wrong.)

    It also makes it more likely IMO that Ted is talking about real "pals" contacting him in his BI - not just fans of Toothy/Jake. Especially when he mentions dinners, parties. Perhaps a small circle of mutual friends and acquaintances of Jake and Austin. I sincerely hope that those people, however annoyed, wouldn't out Jake in a nasty fashion. I don't think that's helpful to anybody.

  8. He's playing Martin in The Informers!! YEAH!!!! That's the best young male part in the book!!!!!!!! Although I'm wondering why Graham's name was changed to John.

  10. Another very clever post, Special!!

    I can't wait to see Austin in FNL and in Informers. Both roles sound very intriguing to me because they seem to be a big change from his former roles. And he sounded very confident in that interview.

    Frenchy, Thanks for the info about being able to see the FNL episodes on NBC.com. I'm not sure if I'm going to make it home by 9PM tonight so I may miss it. :(

    Broadwayfan, Jon Foster is the actor who will be playing the part of Graham in the Informers.

    ReplyDelete
  11. It's great to see Asutin getting an interview for this, I really didn't think there would be one for FNL. And the Informers is sounding better and better, I can't wait to see him as a blond.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Broadwayfan, Jon Foster is the actor who will be playing the part of Graham in the Informers."

    LOL LOL! Doy!! (This is what happens when you get up in the morning, haven't had your coffee and this is one of the first things you read). LOL.

    Anyway, I'm SOOO glad Austin is playing Martin, a sexy role that is and fun. Martin also ends up directing a music video starring a band that goes on tour with the rock star depicted in the book (which is probably why Austin is/was in Uruguay).

    I wonder if Jake has seen Austin as a blonde.

    Maybe I shouldn't mention this but I read in one of the MANY threads about the wine country Jeese shots that in one photo, it looks like they're walking with a guy who looks just like a "blonde Austin Nichols." I didn't pay any attention to that but I can't help wonder now that we know Austin dyed his hair blonde to play Martin.

  13. Posted on WFT - Sir Ian McKellen

    "And the X-Men star said yesterday that being asked to cover up his own sexuality made him realise the conservative views at the heart of Hollywood.

    "With all that liberal attitude in Hollywood, you have a local industry which is saying to local people who live in the area 'when you come to work, you are not gay'," he said.

    "And I think to myself, 'can people whose minds work like that make good films? And if at the heart of Hollywood there is that lie, how many other lies are there?'"

  14. Austin does has a great 80's rocker look to him. Long and lean. Let's hope the choose leather over spandex ( ala David Le Roth).

    Austin has a thing have pieces of wardrobe show up off the set for him. Jake should tell him to keep the leather pants.

    ReplyDelete
  15. "It's great to see Asutin getting an interview for this, I really didn't think there would be one for FNL."

    ITA, Destiny. I was very pleasantly surprised when I saw this. The best part about it is that it gives us some idea of what he's been up to and finally some real news about his roles in FNL and the Informers. I was also thrilled to see that he's been keeping in touch with Milch. Seems that the people who work with him are anxious to work with him again. Both FNL and Milch want him back. :)

    ReplyDelete
  16. Tanned and bleached blonde! Yummy. Jake, you are a fool if you let this one go. I loved the interview because Austin always seems to come across as intelligent, fun and personable. We know how good looking he is. A perfect match for Jake.

    I am going from memory here but didn't Ted post a warning to Toothy once before, a little before JJs article surfaced. You know someone out there has pictures, especially if they have been attending parties, dinners etc. within their gay friendly circle. They are both very sociable guys and it makes sense that J&A did not sit home every night by themselves.

    ReplyDelete
  17. BWF- you don't know where you saw that, about the blonde Austin Nichols?

    ReplyDelete
  18. I agree M, Austin always comes off very well in interviews.

    ReplyDelete
  19. 10:56, If I recall, I think it was a thread on DL (believe it or not). I read that and rolled my eyes. But....who knows.

    ReplyDelete
  20. M, and Austin would be a fool to leave Jake. Again, we really don't know what is going on with them. It isn't fair to place all the blame on Jake.

    In other news, Jake is on the cover of Esquire as one of the best performances of the year for Rendition! Read it HERE. Jeff Wells, the blogger at HE doesn't agree but the author of the Esquire comments positively on Jake's performance in the comments section. I am glad Jake is being acknowledged. I think he was great in Rendition.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Also, nice interview with Austin.

    ReplyDelete
  22. BWF- you don't know my name by now? :) Hmm, DL, don't think I can buy that one.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Very yummy post!!

    I can't join in the fun right now and like BV I might not make it home in time for FNL tonight; will record though!

    Many good points raised in the previous thread after I left. Great food for thought. Will come back with a recap tonight or tomorrow.

    By the way, RDJ also bleached his hair recently! Is Jake next? :O

    ReplyDelete
  24. Folks, it has come to my attention that someone took part of a comment from OMG's previous thread and posted it on the Gyllenspoon Digest. I want to ask everyone here not to take content from this blog and put it on other blogs. It will only invite trouble here and it is wrong to harass other blogs. Let other blogs be. I commented at the Gyllenspoon Digest apologizing for this and let them know that OMG does not endorse this and has specifically asked people not to do this.

    ReplyDelete
  25. You know, I did once commented that sneering Austin with bleached hair would make a great Billy Idol impersonation... except I was told he is like 1 foot taller!
    Great interview.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Nice interview with Austin. He's very positive about JFC. I'd have been interested in a new film made from a BEE book anyway, but Austin in leather trousers would be an extra incentive to see it.

    ReplyDelete
  27. It's good that jake got some recognition for his work in Rendition. I do hope RDJ get nominated for Zodiac though, he rocks (even though I think he's partly playing himself.. hehe)

    forgot to mention. nice pic of austin there :)

    ReplyDelete
  28. Enjoy FNL tonight, lucky people :)

    Thanks pure for the great interview with Austin - he's so quick and clever :) The bleached blond hair *faint* sounds wonderful. When I read the goss about him taking out the Laundrette DVD I did wonder if he might also be working his Look (isn't DD-L bleached blond in that film?)

    And now I can get back to reading The Informers knowing he's Martin ...

    ReplyDelete
  29. Yay. Austin lives.
    What a great interview. Whoever asked the questions should be applauded. They just let the interview flow on and everything took a natural progression.

    The role in the Informers sounds great.
    With FNL, I still think that the teacher/student thing is over done as I said a week or so ago but maybe they can make it a little fresher.
    Would be great to see them do something else with the JFC character. And love hearing that he's still in contact with David Milch.

    Fave part of the interview: the not being big enough to continue playing football and then when he grew tall, he didn't grow very wide part. Too cute.

    Billy Idol Austin - hmmmm

    ReplyDelete
  30. A quick question, have any of the US magazines really picked up on the Reese Napa photos, or are they now all publicly available because there hasn't been big spread.

    I'm trying to gauge they're value, hence how marketable they are.

    thanks

    ReplyDelete
  31. Apropos of nothing much, Austy is 27 years younger than Kim Basinger :P :P

    ReplyDelete
  32. So that means Austin is going to be involved with his much-younger student on FNL and with his much-older friend's mother in Informers. Should make for some interesting viewing.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Go Kimmy!!! By the way, she is still very hot.

    ReplyDelete
  34. isn't DD-L bleached blond in that film?

    Yes, half blonde and half black in true 80s Kajagoogoo's frontman style :-)

    ReplyDelete
  35. Kim is still hot ... unfortunately the same cannot be said of her 9 1/2 Weeks co-star Mickey Rourke also in Informers. Gosh, he is like disfigured. Sad :(.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Daniel Day-Lewis looks like a slightly better looking Vanilla Ice in "My Beautiful Laundrette."

    ReplyDelete
  37. Mickey was SOOO sexy in 9 1/2 Weeks.

    How sweet that Austin said he thought about watching 9 1/2 Weeks but declined. He's a southern gentleman, girls.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Now there's a band I haven't thought of in a long time Zero. Let's hope they give him a flattering hairstyle.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Well it won't be a pompadour although I kind of got used to that after a while.

    ReplyDelete
  40. It's probably a white platinum spiky-haired do.

    He must look so hot!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  41. "But listen, Tooth, if you’re reading, and we know you are, just wanna give ya a little fairly heated heads-up:...

    Not to distract everybody from seeing Austin tonight, but that bit above from Ted intruiged me. Ted thinks Jake follows the Toothy Tales? That must make interesting reading for him :-)

    ReplyDelete
  42. 4:22, I'm quite sure Jake or his staff saw when Ted outed him and Austin in NYC days before the Rome trip. Makes sense in light of the nonsense that later transpired (in Rome).

    ReplyDelete
  43. max, I really cannot understand how some poeple find it surprising or strange that Jake would follow Ted's BI. Who wouldn't, when they are surfacing things about their own hidden life. Heeelloo!

    ReplyDelete
  44. A BI from today's Ent Lawyer website:

    #2 Haven't heard from our accountant in awhile, but he said this A list film actress received a wire transfer of $1M from the actor she is "dating."

    ReplyDelete
  45. Jake is fully aware of the rumours...

    "Will you comment on rumors that you are dating Reese?

    No. Apparently, I am dating a lot of people, not only of the opposite sex (laughter)—it’s very interesting and amusing."

    http://showbizandstyle.inquirer.net/entertainment/entertainment/view_article.php?article_id=101387

    ReplyDelete
  46. Seriously cannot imagine Reese requiring money. She seems to be genuinely taken with Jake in the recent pix. Him not as much......JMO

    ReplyDelete
  47. Max, maybe the 'production' company isn't doing to well. If someone was paying me $1m dollars I think I could look pretty convincing.

    ReplyDelete
  48. What qualities do you admire in Reese, as a person and an actress?

    She can grow a mean beard, that’s for sure (laughter)! I don’t know if you’ve seen her beard—it’s amazing!


    LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  49. I can't buy that Jake's paying Reese to beard. Who else could that BI be about? Anybody?

    ReplyDelete
  50. Penelope Cruz?

    Maybe.

    I cannot believe Jake said that about Reese's beard. You just cannot make things up sometimes!

    ReplyDelete
  51. Nah. I can imagine Reese bearding (if that is what's going on) for friendship or good PR, but not for money.

    ReplyDelete
  52. I hope it wasn't Jake, because the way his career is going he's going to need that cash.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Oh god. "If you've seen her beard?" Jake clearly wants to come out. All this joking about beards and Reese and Peter being his lover is just hiding that Jake can't talk about his real life.

    Or he's homophobic and taking the piss at those "silly" rumours.

    Or both. Which is what I tend to think.

    It's not funny if you're giving fodder to the Catholic church and interviews to right-wing newspapers like the Telegraph, Jake. It's actually stopped being funny about two weeks ago.

    ReplyDelete
  54. sorry, that was me at 5:13!

    ReplyDelete
  55. Laughing all the way to hell ... I think you need to ligten up a bit dear.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Who is Penelope Cruz dating this days?

    ReplyDelete
  57. sceptical, what is going on with his career, tell me. I don't see this major disaster, a lot of other great actors had flops and occasionally big hits. At least those with some chops. Then there are the A-lists who cannot act but appeal to the masses or star in big easy-on-the-brain and on the eye movies yeah. Hope Jake will n ot become one of those.
    He is loaded anyway, don't worry about his cash.

    ReplyDelete
  58. Who's that:

    Javier Bardem

    ReplyDelete
  59. It so much that it might be Jake, more that everyone automatically thinks it is Jake. As for his career, I hope it does pick up, he needs a hit maybe Brothers will do it.

    also, who is Javier Bardem?

    ReplyDelete
  60. Also remember that the Ent Lawyer has zero credibility. Just repeating what I've seen posters say on FCC, as I'm not an expert on gossip bloggers, and I've only read his blog a few times.

    But I have to wonder at someone who makes his own identity a Blind Item. Is he really a lawyer? He's not as articulate as I would expect from a lawyyer, and seems to have an awful lot of spare time to write his blog. At least Ted C puts his own name to his dirt, whether you believe him or not.

    ReplyDelete
  61. BTW, I do not believe it is Penelope. Javier is Spanish and I don't think he is preoccupied with his image.

    I am also not sure it is Reese. With the Avon contract and the amount she gets for movies I doubt 1 million looks much to her.

    It could also be BS.

    ReplyDelete
  62. How wonderful to get a new interview with Austin AND his appearance of FNL. At last!

    I've posted this interview and another (smaller) one over at Austin Media.

    And tomorrow I should be able to offer a little something too. :)

    ReplyDelete
  63. there should be a "not" in there, as in.. it's not so much that it might be Jake, more that everyone think it is him.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Javier Bardem is an awesome actor from Spain. He has played memorable characters including cuban gay artist Reinaldo Arenas in before Night falls for which he was nominated for an oscar.
    I would be suprised if he did that (pay Penelope for bearding). I think he couldn't care less.

    ReplyDelete
  65. Thanks Zero, I'll check him out, just never actually heard of him before.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Nah. I can imagine Reese bearding (if that is what's going on) for friendship or good PR, but not for money."

    How the hell do you know? Do you know Reese??? The BI is probably not true but NONE of you can say for certainty whether Reese wouldn't do that because you don't know her--or rather you don't know the REAL her.

    She is all business, from what I hear...

    ReplyDelete
  67. 5:45 you on the other hand KNOW her .... yeah, from what you hear!

    ReplyDelete
  68. I'm not saying you have to believe that Jake and Reese are the most beautiful and sacred romance ever aka People magazine. Maybe she is a beard. Maybe not. Implying she is basically a high-payed escort is a step too far for me.

    ReplyDelete
  69. None of us know these people; none of us. What they present to us is an image carefully fostered and nurtured by their handlers/pr people. We like to think we DO know them but we don't. Not at all.

    I've met a few celebs in my life for various reasons and honestly, quite a few of them were the exact opposite of their image.

    There's one celeb I remember who was SO nice and gracious but I still get hives thinking about her manager!!

    ReplyDelete
  70. Thanks for the interview Hjulia! Always nice to get a little more Austy.

    ReplyDelete
  71. is 5:45 being asked to put a name or since she/he is obvioulsy spinning some negative about Reese can post anon?

    ReplyDelete
  72. Finally my computer is working again.
    I`ve been thinking about the summer of Jake and Kirsten and all the publicity they got. You also had summer of Mance...and all that publicity. Both times Jake/Toothy and the boyfriend/Austin broke up. It seems to me the intensive involvement with other people that leads to distance between Jake and Austin in these periods, have been too much for them.
    I have to say(though i hope not), i think they once again might have ended their relationship. Seems to me Jake is spending too much time with Reese if he still was in a relationship with Austin.
    I wonder if Jake now has gone a little crazy?...Doesn`t quite know what he`s doing, and their relationship ended around the time Jake decided to go public with Reese?
    I wonder if Reese, in company with their PR-people, thinks she can "cure" him, and he might think it`s worth the chance...because he`s, well, a little out of himself. I think they are best-friends these days and are cuddling a lot, though i don`t think they sleep with eachother. I don`t think Reese might want to "cure" him for her own benefit(that she wants to be in a real relationship with him), but maybe he`ll like women in general afterwards.
    I also wonder why Ted said something about Jake`s people would have sold their adopted chinese child to get a made-up article or something in "PEOPLE". Could it be a clue to baby-Tile, and that Jake has now given up his rights to the baby because he doesn`t think of himself as a good enough parent to be a part of his/her life at this moment? I know the baby-analyze is crazy, but who knows? I`m just speculating. Something seems crazy with Jake now afterall, at least to me. I feel sorry for him.

    ReplyDelete
  73. I wonder if Reese, in company with their PR-people, thinks she can "cure" him, and he might think it`s worth the chance...because he`s, well, a little out of himself

    Curing what? His attraction to men? Or curing him from the hurt of braking up with Austin?
    If the first, then I think your statement is crazy. If the second I might actually agree with you. If Jake and Austin split and Jake was devastated Reese might be providing some very needed emotional support

    ReplyDelete
  74. No trash, you are right. Anon 5:45 needs to post with a name. Sometimes I get a bit tired of asking people to do something that is so simple.

    ReplyDelete
  75. Hmm, about the Ent Lawyer item. Can't think of what A list actress would need $1M that bad. It kind of rebels against the rules of logic, no? And the item also doesn't say the guy she's 'dating' is gay. I think people are supplying that, but leaving that out, it could be anyone. Just cause we can't imagine a million being wired to us for anything less than shady reasons doesn't mean it's necessarily true of people that rich who probably consider it pocket change.

    ReplyDelete
  76. When I saw that video of Reese rubbing Jake's back on the beach, I thought it looked like she might have been consoling him. If Jake and Austin have hit a rough patch (remember, Ted said they were up and down, and passionate love is often like that), then maybe Reese is providing a supportive shoulder (and possibly bed) for Jake in the interim.

    No it's not perfect or pretty to imagine, but who in HW really is? Even Austin and Jake?

    ReplyDelete
  77. Maybe everyone can give Wicked and Special K a hand with reminding the new anons to plug in a name whenever you see one. It's easy enough to do, and that way they don't have to wear themselves out saying the same thing every thread?

    Just a thought.

    ReplyDelete
  78. Because, "a suggestion" most people that post anon are usually hit and run so I doubt very much they'll 1) care about putting a name to a post and 2) will come back around anytime soon to see what's being requested of them.

    ReplyDelete
  79. (((((A suggestion)))))

    If those of you who feel comfortable would do this, we would appreciate it. I think it would be helpful.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Just remember, money is a commodity you can never have enough of. and people do the most amazing things to get their hands on it! Is it Reese? possible. Did Jake pay her? possible. not a great step from bearding is it? Are they good friends helping each other? why the showmance then?
    Don't forget this is HW!

    ReplyDelete
  82. If all you see is John Monad teaching English then that's not a good performance by Austin. I sure couldn't imagine that John Monad was actually the guy that was saved in New York during the big freeze!

    ReplyDelete
  83. I'd be happy to help reminding that one needs a name, though I have to admit I don't find much of a difference between people posting anon, and people changing their name for each of the 10 posts they live on the same thread.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Well, I must say I was highly amused when Austin's character mentioned he went to the same school I did. The difference though is that we were forced to study the NY Times while we were there; it was only afterwards, we read what we wanted.

    And at that school, the j-school, as we called it, we were taught, "You write to express, not to impress." That's what Austin should have said to Julie when she used that ridiculous word for talkative.

    ReplyDelete
  85. It's the people in the free seats that complain the loudest. Compensation is always a good idea when a business deal is involved, if for no other reason than to maintain bargaining power. To someone making $29 mil a movie, $1mil may seem like a courtesy amount. Maybe she will donate it to her church. Noone would call Penelope A list. Considering that J&R are the hot topic of conversation these days, good chance it's J&R. I think ent lawyer does like to be topical and often follows Ted's items with a related story.

    Seems like R rubs Jake's back a lot. More of a comforting gesture than a sexual one, to me anyway.

    ReplyDelete
  86. Reese might be needing the moola. They say she's the highest paid actress but I wonder about that, because what was the last film she was in, besides Rendition? I think it was "Penelope" and it's been postponed for distribution, for whatever reason. So she's not getting what she's demanding if she's not working, right?

    Sorry, I forgot who brought it up but it's possible that her Production Company (Type A Films, I think is what its called) is hurting. They are trying to do at least one film right now, and it takes a lot of money make a movie. Plus remember that she and Ryan didn't have a prenup. Its been reported that he doesn't want any money from her, but don't they all say that in public?!!! The financial arrangements between them may be a totally different story than what's been reported.

    In the giver/recipient's (J/R) minds, the money could be considered a gift - $1M from one person who's grateful for companionship, conversation and support, given to a trusted friend who would like to succeed, but just needs a little monetary help at the moment. I think Reeke is worth considering for the answer to the BI.

    ReplyDelete
  87. Needing or not needing money is irrelevant.

    You work, you get paid for it. It's the Australian way. And uh, the American one.

    Reese may not need money each time she makes a movie but she doesn't tell them to keep it, does she?
    She gets paid for the time she has had to put into being on the set, promoting the work etc.

    If this is the extension of a job, why shouldn't she get paid for it?

    ReplyDelete
  88. Just read ent lawyer. It's on two pages. On page 2 he posts the entire toothy blurb from Ted's BI of today. Only 8 comments made, but all say it's Jake/old news/move on or some such. On page one, he posts a pic of Jake and Lance titled "friends with benefits." So he is dropping some big hints. About 50% or so of the commenters re the 1mil include J&R in their guesses re who it is.

    ReplyDelete
  89. So only a few people watched Austin on FNL tonight? Really? Geez, I thought there'd be more of a discussion here.

    Instead, it's back to Reeke again.

    Ho hum.

    ReplyDelete
  90. M: ITA Reese always rubbing Jake's back is like a comfort thing, not really sexual. Heres an interesting Defamer sighting, from the flight from SF to Burbank airport. Kinda puts things together (for me, at least), the back rubbing, needing comfort? but also wanting to be noticed...

    The only thing I wonder about is if something tramatic is going on with Jake. Sure, maybe the TT thing or Austin breaking up, but it could be something like an illness or a troubled relationship going on with his family. I hope not.

In the giver/recipient's (J/R) minds, the money could be considered a gift - $1M from one person who's grateful for companionship, conversation and support, given to a trusted friend who would like to succeed, but just needs a little monetary help at the moment. I think Reeke is worth considering for the answer to the BI"

    Oh sure, he gives HER money for bearding services rendered. But what do I get? Are you there, Austin? Can I come over, Austin? I only have an hour Austin. We have to make it quick, Austin. Keep your hair like that, Austin. You look hot. Slam, bam, thank you dude! I'd like to get a million dollars too because you know, I'm rendering a service as well.

  93. I watched FNL. He looked very cute, had the stubble thing going on which I think looks very good on him. In terms of the acting he was fine, it's not exactly a role that calls for anything special the way JFC did. He was on a lot more than I expected, so that was nice.

  96. mony mony said . . .

    Kinda puts things together (for me, at least), the back rubbing, needing comfort? but also wanting to be noticed...


    I think she just likes to touch him. Who wouldn't.

  99. Maybe he wants to be a silent backer of her production company? I dunno.

  100. Prolly not just an invoice but Past Due notices, too. Along with incriminating pictures as a reminder to pay promptly.

  101. Well, even establishing that that BI was about J&R who really knows for what reason the money was given? Does it say 'for bearding services' right next to it?
    I am sorry this is becoming a way to have a whole lot of posts telling me about Reese, Reese and Ryan situation, Reese and her position as A-lister etc. Who the hell cares. They don't even spend as much talking about it on Reese's own sites.

  106. Saw a bit of Austy-poo on FNL. Couldn't sit through the whole thing since I have no idea what's going on!!! Oh well. Loved JFC, but FNL seems dull in comparison. I guess at least it's an in-between-jobs gig.

  108. I'm on PST and the show just ended. I thought Austin did great. I have not watched the show before, so could not follow the story that well, plus I am not a fan of extreme close ups, but it was so nice just to see Austin. I was surprised he still had the JFCish hair. Not very teacher like, but then I've been out of high school a very long time. Anyway, he got off to a good start so I look forward to more episodes. I prefer TV to movies these days, though must admit I seldom watch network TV. Too many commercials. I stick with HBO, Showtime etc. TV arcs allow more time to develop characters than movies, if done right. I think Austin majored in english and writing, so his characters background made the part cool too.

  109. So...only a 2 episode arc?

    From Friday's Watch With Kristin on E!

    Nichols begins his two-episode stint tonight, playing Dillon High’s new twentysomething English teacher, and the kids take an immediate liking to him, especially...wait for it...Coach Taylor's daughter, Julie.

    Full Story

    Bummer.

  110. What I have heard is that he has five episodes.

    Hi guys - yes I am living. Up at the moment baking and finishing up things for tomorrow - well today.

    I couldn't watch FNL when it was on, I am planning watching when I get back tonight.
