Austin seems to go for long stretches of quiet and then a sudden burst back on the radar. The past few weeks has been a little feast for the Austin famine, and don't think it will end soon, with Full Out (formerly Lenexa, 1 mile) coming out next Tuesday, March 18th, and then DVD jackpot John From Cincinnati, to follow.
And with Hjulia and Spooky2th there have been some great new pictures of the tall Texan found. The majority of which Austin managed to keep all of his clothes on.
But just like Toothy, as Ted pointed out way back when, it seems Austin's legs are not as greatly appreciated either. Nothing to do with delicious dimples, although "that up to no good" grin can cause minds to wander, its seems all his topless action it might be selling the boy short. Check out when he keeps his shirt on and gets a leg up.

Even though Austin has nice legs, I actually think he looks sexier in long pants because it makes him look tall and lean, whereas shorts kind of cut him off.
ReplyDeleteI really liked your post Me on the previous thread. Nobody can know what it is like to be someone else, no matter how close they are to them, but to say that someone is incapable of understanding someone who is different isn't true either, especially if they have family and friends who are gay men.
And I agree with Wicked and flf's posts. I think Jake struggled with his sexuality at one point, but I don't think that is the case now. I do think there may be things going on with him work-wise that we don't know about that may be causing him to feel he has no choice but to beard. I've read too many stories of actors who felt they didn't get work because they were gay. And most of the examples of people who are out are older or work in television. There is nobody of Jake's age working in films at the level he is that is out.
Wow, Austin really does have nice legs!
ReplyDeleteI agree Destiny, that was a marvelous post by ME. ME, your son sounds like a young man wise beyond his years. More power to him!
I can also understand the point that Rattler is making. While it's true we can never really know what it is like to be someone else, we can certainly try to be empathetic, take what someone else may be going through and try to understand it from something similar that we may have experienced in our own lives, like racism or sexism. I think that is the point, just being able to understand, and let someone be who they are. While I don't know if I could call what Jake may be doing out-and-out homophobia, it may be the fear of homophobia that's lead to this - still, there must be a better way.
Hey Wicked, are we riding into town at High Noon today, or what? ;)
I finally viewed the high def photos at the farmers market and see what the talk was about re the dark roots on Reese. I don't recall seeing that much dark hair in prior pics. Maybe it was the lighting. I wonder if she has extensions. Anyway, Babblers have dropped Lainey as a link she since said not nice things about their favorite girl.
ReplyDeleteGood pics of Austin, but he looks a bit too young here to ring my bell. Looks like a boy here. I think he has grown taller since these were taken. Definitely looks like a man in recent pictures, like pic #1 earlier this week. Yes, defintely all man.
It took a little longer for Austin to turn into "all man" than Jake but it was worth the wait.
ReplyDeleteMy issue isn’t so much with the bearding as the complete manipulation factor of it. I really don’t see how having his picture taken every couple of days with Reese does anything for his career. I’m really surprised because he always seemed to me to be a private, down to earth type person. What makes it even worse is that he seems to have completed departed from his fun-loving self. Everything from him now seems very stiff and calculated. I realize that people change and move in different directions in life and I’m not judging him but it’s a little depressing to see such a drastic change. I hope he’s happy with his new “image”.

Destiny with all due respect Jake is far from being a man. I see him still as spoiled little child who cant make his own decisions. I totally believe he can be controlled by strong women and until he can break thta habit he can never be the person we thought he was.

ReplyDeleteBritain Halts Deportation of Gay Iranian
ReplyDeleteThat is great news about that Iranian asylum seeker. I've been following that story and I was beginning to be afraid nobody would do the right thing. Speaking of doing the right thing, I will be doing some bombing against Kern when I get home tonight.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to clarify my earlier post. While I think Jake may think he has a reason to beard, it still doesn't make it right. And when I read things like Me's post and the story about the Iranian man, the likelihood that he is doing it just to be on the A list makes it all the more disturbing.
On a lighter note, Tom, I was strictly referring to J&A's looks. And I think Dlisted is being sarcastic. Not that anyone cares, out of over 50 comments only 3 mention Jake, and they all mention bearding.
I thought maybe Dlisted was referring to the fact that this fauxmance shows no signs of stopping.
ReplyDelete(incidentally, he said that the night before he'd been hanging out with and singing for jake and reese [are they together or are they not?] in hollywood!)
ReplyDeleteFrom a Blogger's account of a recent Rufus concert
Rufus hangs out with and sings privately for Jake and Reese?
If Rufus was hanging out with Jake and Reese, maybe that third coffee was for him?
ReplyDeleteJust thinking about the farmer's market pics. Interesting how quickly they were on the People website after being published. And we know People is huge PR shill. Lainey is right that this couple pimps themselves out.
ReplyDeleteET as ran the picture of them at the Farmer's Market last night as well.
ReplyDeleteI am inclined to think this time it was for two reasons. One, like TR, Ryan's movie with Abbie is coming out. Is Reese still that hung up on him that she needed to do that? Yes. He walked away, and she is still smarting from that.
Two: And how quickly we forget. It was one week after the Page Six item rang AFTER they left NYC of them no canoodling or even talking at the play, just keeping to themselves texting other people and them their departure. Page Six was very mindful when they rang that story because it called into question the validity of their relationship. There was careful consideration about when to counter the Page Six story, too quickly they would look like they were guilty of what Page Six was inferring, too long of wait they couldn't clean the slate.
See most people forgot just enough of the Page Six story to buy into the Jake & Reese in public and in love story.
Most people being indifferent or lemmings when it comes to Reeke.
ReplyDeleteWicked,
ReplyDeleteI would like your opinion on some
of my questions. Please bear in
mind that I am a little late to the story of J&A.
(1) Is it possible that Ted was
wrong most of the time-that Jake
and Austin had a brief fling?
(2) Is it possible that they are
just good friends-Jake and Austin?
Do you think it is possible that
Austin has actually met someone
new-now the new ring from a new
person?
(3) Do you think Reese and Jake
are really together and have been
all this time? If so, I really
think that they could have handled
the questions about themselves much better.
(4) Do you think that something
happened after May 4,2007, the
Borders photos, that scared Jake
and Austin so much that they got
scared to be seen together in
public that this is the reason no
longer pictures together?
(5) Do you think Ted has been
wrong all the time-that Jake is
really completely straight?
Sorry for so many questions,
but this is so confusing that I
honestly do not know what to think
anymore. Keep up the good work at
OMG. How is Tink doing?
Let me know what you think of
this and I would appreciate the
opinions of some of the other
bloggers. Thanks so much for your
time and trouble. Please take care
of yourselves, everybody.
Sorry for so many questions. I
ReplyDeleteforgot to add that Austin is really gorgeous. Jake is completely gorgeous too. I just
would like some of your personal
opinions. Good luck to both Jake
and Austin in the future!
It has been nice to meet all of
you on the OMG blog.
Hi kacie, hope you're well :) I'm always giving my opinions :)
ReplyDeleteI reckon blue fancy blogger guy is basically saying, they're not. Maybe Rufie told him that and this is as strong a hint as he wants to give.
I'm glad they are re-examining the right to remain of the Iranian guy. Basically, they have to! Had he gone straight to the Netherlands they would have given him asylum, but he came here and our home office prevaricated - so the Netherlands is pretty much forcing the UK to act properly in this case. It would be a horrible embarrassment if they made the wrong decision now, but I'm prepared to bet that even if they did, another EU country would step in.
All of which has nothing to do with Austy practising with Pat Cash *
I like Jenny Lewis's voice, I hadn't heard her before.
ReplyDeleteUnder the Blacklight is a great disc. Silver Lining is one of my favorite cuts.
ReplyDeleteJenny also put out a really good album with The Watson Twins in 2006 and did a great cover of Traveling Wilbury's Handle with Care.
london tb sa idI reckon blue fancy blogger guy is basically saying, they're not. Maybe Rufie told him that and this is as strong a hint as he wants to give.
ReplyDeleteThey're not WHAT? Please explain becuz I can't find what you're answering.
BTW the Babbles saw the blog as saying that Rufus said he hung out with J&R the night before and sang for them. Babbles are thinking " sing a la private concert, too early for R bday party, omg it was because Jake proposed!" Or becuz Rufus played at Napa Valley and Palm Desert they're thinkin J&R went there, ahhh so romantic. G*d, talk about jumping to conclusions.
I read the blog as Rufus saying he hung out with J&R the night before and sang for them as in playing the guitar casually in a group dinner party not a frickin concert and not as a frickin all-out proposal scenario. The reason is the 'night before' was the 12th, the day of the SANTA MONICA Farmers Market (not PP), where J&R were buying fruit and stuff, picked up some flowers. Duh, it was probly a homemade dinner with Rufus and bf, maybe others. R was probly on the phone asking if whatever goes with whatever, if someone was allergic to something, should they get/bring (fill in the blank). I can easily see Reese hanging out with the gay boys, just like she did at the Kate Hudson Hallowen party. Very easily. I'm sure they accept her as part of the in-the-know group.
OK that's my take for now. BBL. Oh and I'll play love, open, match, set with Austins legs (all 3 of them) anyday.
It does not matter if people are interested in the Reeke romancing. But with the Ryan and Abbie movie coming out soon, people will inevitably be talking and I think Reese wants to make sure she comes across as having moved on with someone else generally considered a hunk. I think later when hopefully she finds the right person to be seriously involved with, Jake will be able to do whatever he wants and she could always say they were affectionate friends and nothing more. Which does not contradict anything since quite honestly that's all I see at most in those Reeke pics.
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime Jake keeps his life under wrap. That's what he has been doing, not even a pic with sister, father etc just one with Chris after ages and I am sure he DOES have a life...
bad seed, I was referring to the part blue fancy blogger put inside square brackets. Using square brackets at all is kind of telling.
ReplyDeleteEbony, I agree.
http://defamer.com/368195/the-jake-and-reese-love-train-makes-a-stop-at-mozza
ReplyDelete"March 12th, lunchtime. On my inaugural visit to Mozza on Highland and Melrose, I spotted a gaggle of celebs while stuffing my face with their signature pizza. Up from a table rose lanky Jamie Lee Curtis, wearing all blacks and greys and her signature spunky haircut. As my eyes traveled down to resume pizza-eating, I noticed two of the four sitting at the table that I presume she was sitting at - of all folks, Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon. JG was scruffy and terribly attractive, much more so in person than I expected, and stared at RW adoringly, snapping a few candids of her throughout the lunch with his digital camera. Cute couple."
Nah, there's no way Rufus is the third party in those Market photos; I don't see him having the time or inclination to hang out with Reeke that way. It would've been within the framework of Rufus working - before or after a show and most likely out to dinner with a group, that's more his style. :)
ReplyDeleteI notice in every group of Reeke photos there's inevitably one where they're stood gawping or observing something in the distance; it's hilarious to see. This time it's Reese "using" Jake's(?) blue phone while Jake looks off into the marketplace hinterland with his best "what's that" expression on his face. Next time I'm sure one of them will be pointing again. They don't look like models out of a dept. store catalogue, no, not at all.
bltb, I never said Rufus was 3rd one at the SMFM. Where did you get that? I said it was likely he was at a home dinner with reeke since Reeke was buying food at SMFM that day and Rufus said at his concert the next day that he was 'in Hollywood singing with Reeke the night before' Doubt if Rufus would bring his guitar to a restaurant and play at the table. Most likely a home dinner party. And rufus would say 'Hollywood" to the Oregon crowd not 'Hollywood Hills' (becuz it's too long and he would just say HW) or 'Brentwood' (becuz no one in Oregon would really know where that is).
ReplyDeleteITA with you on the posing and pointing, tho. A very low-market discunt dept store catalougue. :)
That is her trademark "I have just spotted those gosh darn paparazzi people followin' me" look.
ReplyDeleteFlared nostrals, pursed lips and furrowed brow optional.
DISCOUNT Dept store catalougue. OTOH the other one, whatever!
ReplyDeleteBoy, Jake and Reese sure were busy on the 12th. The Farmer's Market, lunch with Jamie Lee, and then being serenaded by Rufus. Where do they get all those hours in the day?
ReplyDeleteAnd who takes pictures of someone they know very well during lunch in a restaurant? If it was someone visiting that they wouldn't see anytime soon, sure, but he sees Reese all the time. I bet he knows what she looks like.
Babbles are thinking " sing a la private concert, too early for R bday party, omg it was because Jake proposed!"
Or because she's pregnant.

ReplyDeletenot at you broadwayfan, but the post above you
ReplyDeleteIf you need a little more Austin, and
ReplyDeleteare in the US, Glory Road is on TNT(cable). It started at 8:00.
Mozza was one of the restaurants Austin said he likes, remember?
ReplyDeleteYup you're right restaurant.
ReplyDeleteMozza is one of Mario Batali's restaurants.
Methinks PR is realizing that Jake isolated from friends and family only makes Reeke look even faker, hence their latest attempts at the appearance of legitimacy through reports of Chris with Reeke, Jamie Lee with Reeke. Next up? Naomi, Maggie and Stephen with Reeke?
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, I would not be surprised if Jake is making a beeline for SXSW for some clandestine downtime with Austin.
Kacie, I can give you my opinion but I don't know any more than anyone else here. Everyone needs to come to their own conclusions about all of this. Here goes-
ReplyDelete1) I think Ted is generally credible. I think if he doesn't know, he doesn't say. That is the reason, IMO, for his silence right now about Jake, Reese, and TT. I think he had a source in the Toothy camp and lost it.
2) No and no. I think J&A have such strong chemistry that I don't think they are capable of just being good friends. I think the big blue ring could be a gift from Jake and the fact that Austin still wears it suggests they are still together. At any rate, that ring is obviously very important to Austin and he wore it when he and Jake were photographed a lot together.
3) No. I don't feel the chemistry between them. Admittedly, these last pics were the best. They fixed many of the mistakes of their previous pics, but I just don't feel it.
4) I think PR told them to lay low, just like in the summer of '06.
5) No. See my answer to #1.
Tink is doing well, thanks for asking. She just received word that her Auntie Spesh will be visiting soon, and she is very excited about that!
Just adding my opinion. I think Ted clearly thinks/knows Jake is gay, and in the early days, Jake was being much more open about it. Holding hands, snogging in parked cars, being observed by others. He was the talk of HW at one point and on the verge of coming out. Something has happened though, something big, that must of scared him mightily because he has not only retreated into the closet, he's done a 180 from his nature. I dont know what happened, can't even guess, but I see the result. People who say he looks happy now just did not spend any time studying him prior to 2007. The contrast is striking. Actually, I think it was already showing at Cannes. He was smiling, but the happy go lucky boy was not there; I saw pain in his eyes. Just my take of course, but I see something in his eyes not there before. Life does have a way of beating people up.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, I would not be surprised if Jake is making a beeline for SXSW for some clandestine downtime with Austin.
ReplyDeleteAll of this clandestine sneakin' around can make for some hot time together! ;)
I wonder why everything Reeke did on the 12th found it's way onto the internet.
ReplyDelete12th was "show & tell day" !
ReplyDelete"Which celebrity is dating a gorgeous female celeb AND a handsome bloke at the same time? He's desperate to keep up the pretence of being straight..."
ReplyDeleteThis is a BI on ent lawyers site today. The only reason I think it might allude to Jake is that Austin is clearly gorgeous and Jake appears to be really desperate. Can't think of any others who meet both definitions. Then again, I don't really follow any other stars and at this stage of their relationship would you call J&A dating?
"Something has happened though, something big, that must of scared him mightily"
ReplyDeleteI think Jake is not getting the projects he wants. I don't know what kind of work he's being offered because to settle for "Nailed", the offers couldn't be that great. I think Jake and his family are very concerned and blame all on the gay rumors. If Jake splits with Reese, wouldn't be surprised at all if he finds himself another beard. I think Jake was A-list after BBM, not anymore.
I think he's slowly sliding down and the more you slide the harder you scramble. At the moment Reeke is his "scramble". JMO

ReplyDeleteI heard last year he was getting passed over for choice projects or rather, projects he wanted.
By the way, I just read the Interview magazine article tribute to Heath. It's very touching and well done. Naomi said even after she split, she remained close to Heath's parents and she said they are a wonderful family. She also thought it was so great how connected Heath was to his family.

ReplyDeleteTom, I'm so happy that little dog was found safe and sound, thanks for sharing the good news!
ReplyDeletebad seed, I believe it was wicked who hypothesized about Rufus being the third person. Sorry, I should've made that more clear in my response. :) I'm glad I'm not alone in seeing the catalogue posing, it's just so funny to me. It wouldn't be so naturally occurring that a random photographer would "happen" to catch it during every outing. People simply don't behave that way.
Rattler, Orchid, Thinking out loud, Love your post on the previous thread about coming out as I may pretains to Jake. It took me a while also. All the of the experiences and situations you have all brought up I can identify with. Being your true self is important but with some, it takes time. A person should not be judged so harshly and should be allowed to come out when they feel it's right for them. Period. We can't walk in anothers shoes. The paths is that persons alone.
ReplyDelete^As it may pretain to Jake. Sorry to go back to that subject folks. Been away for a while.
ReplyDelete"A person should not be judged so harshly and should be allowed to come out when they feel it's right for them. Period."
ReplyDeletePersonally it doesn't matter to me when Jake comes out of the closet, if he chooses to do so that is. What I dislike is the bearding and the pimping of the relationship. and that is why he is judged harshly.
sorry, flf above
ReplyDelete"I think Jake is not getting the projects he wants. I don't know what kind of work he's being offered because to settle for "Nailed", the offers couldn't be that great. I think Jake and his family are very concerned and blame all on the gay rumors."
ReplyDeleteSorry flf...I'm new to all this HW stuff so please enlighten me. Can you or anyone please explain to me how gay rumors would affect Jake getting parts?? I would think if he's getting passed over for roles it would be because of his acting abilities?? I know your "image" does play a part in the HW game..but as I stated before I really dont see how having a beard/gf saves your career when it comes right down to it. Are you saying the directors aren't giving him the parts because they think he's gay or has a gay following?
dd dater, thanks, I knew :)
