Divine Intervention

One is good, two is better, three's company and four's more, than enough... or is it?

How better than to kick off the unofficial start to summer than our favorite heavenly creature. Shirtless of course.


Sometimes you need a little transcendent to lift the soul.

  1. New pix of Jake jogging with someone identified as his personal trainer. Allegedly from yesterday. Guess we are getting in shape for PoP.

  2. Everyone, please check out Spooky's beautiful Austin art gallery. It is lovely!

  3. It is gorgeous indeed. I bow to her artistry! But then again the subject inspires.

  4. Just closed the polls. The Informers was the clear winner over Brothers, 65% to 35%. In a squeaker, Brothers beat PoP by one vote. Nailed finished a very distant third. The top two gay movies were Wedding Banquet at 13% and Maurice with 12% of the vote. Beautiful Thing came in third with 9%. Thanks to all who voted, particularly our friends who came over from WFT2.

  5. Oh My . . . Thank the Lord for Diviine Intervention! These pics are the most beautiful of Austin I have ever seen (I know, I know, I say that everytime I see a new one!) ;) One of my favorite DePeche Mode songs too! Thanks, much needed. :)

  6. One of the films on our list of movies, Big Eden, is premiering on television in the month of June. It looks really good. From the website:


    We are thrilled to let you know that Big Eden will have its television premiere on the SUNDANCE CHANNEL ON JUNE 6TH AT 9:00 PM!

    The film will be aired numerous times throughout Sundance's Outloud month of programming, but please tune in for the premiere if you can--it makes all the difference for films like this.

    See our great write-up in NEW YORK MAGAZINE.

    Picked as ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY'S "What to Watch" on Television this week.

  7. I'm going to bask in 80s-accompanied Austin, which has become one of my favorite ways to enjoy him; honestly, he really is a breath of fresh air.

    I got nothin' concerning the photos from yesterday. I agree with m that they are probably the worst posed set since Rome. They might be actors, but they can't act themselves out of a paper sack when it comes to this fauxmance. It's embarrassing to watch. I was laughing at the "evilyn" post at the end of the last thread - that pretty much sums it all up. Evilyn, please post more! ;)

    Brothers was the film that came out front for me on the first two polls. It's the only Jake film I'm genuinely excited about; I actually can't wait to see it. Informers is my close second, though. I had only seen two of the films on the long list, Maurice and The Object Of My Affection, so I made my third choice the film I'd most like to see - Gods and Monsters.

  9. I'll come out when I'm firmly established as a leading man.

    I'll come out after Brokeback.

    I'll come out after Zodiac promotion.

    I'll come out after I break up with Reese and a suitable time period has passed.

    I'll come out after PoP.

    I'll come out after my next successful franchise.

    I'll come out in 5 years.

    I'll come out in 10 years.

    Hey, I'm 65 and I never came out. How did that happen?

    Tomorrow never comes.

  10. Great comment from dlisted-

    Not gay? He's handled more sausage than the chef at my local pizzeria.

  13. Prince of Persia! Yay! First gay action figure! Our boy always delivers. Just gotta put up with the urp-making RL accomodations along the way.

  14. Nothing like shirtless Austin and a warm sunny day.

    ReplyDelete
  15. Great screencaps special k. As always Austin looks quirky and gorgeous at the same time.
    What is it about getting inspired by a certain subject?
    I'll take a shirtless Austin even on a rainy day like today ;D

    Thanks for the link.

  18. Jake running again.. nice to see.

    I know he can't get tan for Nailed. But the boy needs some color. How much is Disney's budget for spray tan going to be?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Nice to wake up to beautiful Austin, thank you as usual. Spooky's work excellent too. I dont know much about photo shop but she got the perspective on the paintings dead on. Maybe it is a piece of cake but it looks difficult to do.

    Thanks for the tip too about Sundance channel/Big Eden. One I have not seen. It sounds like they are going to do a number of gay films based on the reference to Outloud programming. Maybe I can catch some of the other films I've missed as well.

  20. "They're from a private myspace, though, so I'm keeping them under a friendslock. So no spreading them around, please!

    It's from Austin's birthday, this year. With short hair! He looks good. Don't ask me who the girls are, although I think we all recognise the 'roommates' by now. And would you believe it, he takes off his shirt again! He's obviously a nudist at heart, or something. Also, there's a Tinkerbell cake... Hmm."

  21. That New photos of Austin post is mine.

    Please delete it if you think Hjulia would mind.

  22. Unable to look at the Austin pics on LJ. They must have their journal locked. Great Austin pics today. I love those funny faces he has while he's giving out those crazy one-liners in JFC. I never think to look at Spookys site. Great site. I'll have to remember to check that out more often. Cool song today btw.

  23. Re: the new Reeke photos, all I can say is who can be bothered to go out to eat so much, don't these people have kitchens.

    here they are again (in french this time).

    doesn't Jake own his own coffee machine

    ReplyDelete
  24. No one can see you in the kitchen.

    ReplyDelete
  25. It must just be soooooo tyring though, mustn't it. Altough I suppose the tohught of $10 miilion might make you shelp around a few coffee shops with old floppy thighs.

    ReplyDelete
  26. trying not tyring.....

    whatever!

  27. Skeptical Meg, are those new pix? They look like Reese's hair is shorter and has been recently colored.

    ReplyDelete
  28. confised.. as they say in France, je ne sais pas.. actually the way reeke isgoing who knows, I'm pretty sure the biking pics from last week were old (something about shaved / non shaved legs).

    ReplyDelete
  29. I think they're new pix. We haven't seen them in Culver City this weekend, have we? The pix are supposedly from Culver City.

    ReplyDelete
  30. They certainly get about don't though. Jeeze, if I was a multi-millionaire movie star, with lots of exciting projects to work on and a beautiful and sexy g(b)f, I hope I'd have better things to do with my time than drive around Los Angeles buying coffee.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Reese has nothing better to do.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Am I the only one who finds Austin looks a little haggard in these pics?

    ya, like maybe spending all of your free time with the love of your life?

    ReplyDelete
  34. The pics are from this wekend, the WENN pics Reese's hair is colored and shorter too.

    I don't think those bike pics from last weekend were old, if you check out another set of pics taken of them the same day shopping on IHJ 5/17 his legs are hairless, he wore shorts.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Yes Reese needs a new movie as well. Or maybe she is going to take time off to have some kids...

    If you wanted to be a tabloid/magazine that wanted to make some real 'trouble' they could say that friends of said Reese was thinking of taking a couple of years off work to have kids for/with Jake. Just not the message I think Reese wants to really send at the moment. It might force Reese to respond and comment on baby rumors. I doubt any of the magazines would do something like this but it would be a way of taking control of the fauxmance away from the PR folks.

    PS I like how they are back dating the start of the John Mayer and Jenifer Aniston relationship to add a whole 3 months to the relationship. Just like with Jake and Reese where they can tack on the first several months when they were "hiding" (that is, not calling the paps and probably not seeing each other very much...)

    ReplyDelete
  36. photo op.. they sure were busy then last weekend, how any miles must they have covered in that very eco (sic!!!) SUV they were driving.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I`m very happy for Jake career-vice. Think it MIGHT be an opportunity for hìm to really break through mainstream...though i have to agree with those who said it will only get worse bearding-vice. The more famous and sucsessful you get, the more you have to hide you`re private-life, if it doe`s involve any "scandale". In Hollywood-eyes, i think we all know at least one example a good scandal might be. I really don`t think there would be much of a scandal if Jake just came out before Reese. Now, i think it`s way too late.
    I will always hope for the best for our boys, but as i told you before, Neil patrick harris and David Burtka, i admire much more, and i`m so sorry for David`s loss. Neil said on "regis and Kelly", friday, David`s mother died of cancer(may 16th).He showed a photo of her and wished David, his sister and their dad all the best.

  38. "taking control of the fauxmance away from the PR folks"

    What fauxmance are you talking about? The one where Jake+Reese spend all of their free time together? Sounds like two infatuated lovers to me.

    Unlike the Jake-Austin fairy tale, where they haven't been seen together/haven't seen each other in over a year! Now that's a fauxmance!

    ReplyDelete
  39. Sounds like two infatuated lovers to me.

    LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  40. isn't it funny that 9 out of 10 jake fans prefer the Austin fairy tale.

    If Jake and Reese are infatuated lovers, good for them, but hey guys, can you keep it behind closed doors from now on.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Shopping and eating out is all that infatuated lovers need.

  42. From ONTD:

    http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/23871767.html?page=2#comments:

    my bf's sister sat at a table next to them last week at the Brentwood country mart. Said they seemed really relaxed and sweet. Said Jake is gorgeous in real life (and before she never thought he was cute before) but Reese looks like a 16 year old.

    ReplyDelete
  43. They seemed really RELAXED!?! LOL!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Dear Ted:
    You said Reese and Jake were only a publicity stunt and, frankly, it looks like more than that. Lately you are always wrong! Maybe its time you change spies...

  45. "isn't it funny that 9 out of 10 jake fans prefer the Austin fairy tale."

    Where did you get this statistic from? ...Never mind, I know where, you made it up, obviously. Like anyone sane would believe that. It's much more likely that the vast majority of the general public has no idea about your Austin fairy tale.

  46. Why are all these babblers coming over here? No traffic on their own site I guess.

  47. Surely someone can do an intervention, help JBG to understand how creepy and perverse this all looks -

    ReplyDelete
  48. "Hey, I'm 65 and I never came out. How did that happen?"

    Because I am straight....."

    Because I'm rich enough to hire a blonde beard to rub my back and a twink to tell me that I'm fabulous and go running with me. Who needs to come out?!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Why are all these babblers coming over here? No traffic on their own site I guess.

    On the contrary. The Babblers are very busily posting about how they find the fact that Jake is bigger and stronger than Reese a turn-on and imagining all the things Reeke do in bed together because of his great arm strength.

    I am not making this up. Check it if you don't believe me. It's in their previous thread posted by Lawgoddess.

  50. "Hey Im 65 and I never came out. How did that happen?"

    Because I dont want to be like those guys you see around sometimes.

  51. As much as I enjoy shirtless Austin, I really love that screencap with Austin in the wetsuit. I don't think there is anyone else who has looked as good as Austin in a wetsuit.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Looking at Austin better than talking about Babblers and Reese. Looks like he's doing superhero poses.

    ReplyDelete
  53. "Looking at Austin better than talking about babblers and Reese. . . "

    Point made, I agree. Apologies from this quarter.

    ReplyDelete
  54. But isn't Reese too tiny to be really any good with a strap on?

    ReplyDelete
  55. Wow. Don't know what to say. Pollack did so many great movies.

    And loved some of the roles he would pop up in as an actor.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Looking at those jogging photos, I totally heard "Born Free" playing loudly in my head. Feel that wind in your hair, Jake! Run like a gazelle on a sugar high! I'll simply enjoy watching you interact and sharing personal space with someone other than Reese. Yip!

  57. Splashnews has a Reeke video

  58. Too cute bltb. I hear Run Jakey Run.

    I like watching him interact with other people, totally different aura about him.

    ReplyDelete
  59. That is sad about Pollack. He made some good movies, including a great comedy, Tootsie, and a great romantic flick, The Way We Were.

    ReplyDelete
  60. Run like a gazelle on a sugar high!

    Damn you Bltb, reading this makes me want to go back to the gym (sigh)... ;)

    ReplyDelete
  61. Really sad about Pollack. I'll add the movies mentioned above Out of Africa, Absence of Malice, They Shoot Horses, Don't They, that last one really made a big impression on me when I first saw it. Of course I was really young; wonder if it has aged well.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Changing the subject for a bit, I realized after reading the description on imdb that I have seen Big Eden. I am shallow, the lead was not sexy enough for this slash addict. I will watch it again for the story and give it a 2nd chance on Sundance next month. Too bad Elton limited the choices to movies. Angels in America was a multi part TV series on HBO or Showtime, can't recall which now. Spectacular.

    Yes, Jake on his own radiates an entirely different vibe. The vibe that got me hook, line and sinker.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Angels in America was on HBO and your right M. It was spectacular.

    Al Pacino as Roy Cohn. Amazing - he embodied him and created such a visceral reaction to him. You hated Cohn with ever ounce in you.

    Merly Streep --outstanding amazing. Not enough words.

    The whole story and cast Superb!!

    ReplyDelete
  64. I'm so sorry to hear about Sidney Pollack; I loved his movies, too many to mention, and also his appearances in films as an actor, Spesh. I most recently saw him in Michael Clayton. :(

    ReplyDelete
  65. On a striclty shallow note, I posted about Big Eden. I hope my info was accurate. I just love the idea of this film, I love that part of the country, and a unapologetic romance with two men. Plus, I want to see Eric Schweig who plays Pike. I've seen him in a few films and I think he's hella sexy. :)

    ReplyDelete
  66. "Am I the only one who finds Austin looks a little haggard in these pics?"

    I noticed that too, although maybe's he's just had a few.

    I couldn't help notice no Jake at this Bday celebration, and no ring (finger or chain) :\

    ReplyDelete
  67. He has two chains, we can't see what's on them - and we don't know who's there. I doubt whether Jake would allow pics of himself in an ordinary setting.
