Austin.... he's one long lean Tex but he's got a dangerous curve or two.
Now some may his shoulders and others might say that it his chest, but its his waist that seems to get have everyone grabbing on to.
Have you ever notices how when anyone puts there arm around him, their hand somehow just has to hold to his waist? Doesn't matter who they can't help it, its like a magnet. It narrows just a little bit just a perfect spot to rest someone's hand and it shows of that his got a little curve to what everyone thinks is just a long drink of water.
And the other - well its neither small or narrow but it's definitely dangerous.
One more thing Texas whipped Texas A&M like you would a potato, 49-9 last night. And yes there was a stadium of full of people throwing horns. Only if Mr. Potato Head could.

IHJ - newest pic of Jake
ReplyDeleteIs it me or is Jake wearing black pants that are too long again? ; )
Yay, Austin Friday and I have the day off to boot. Love the potato head.
ReplyDeleteCan't tell about the pants.
According to Gossip Girls, Reese brought a fruitcake to the gathering.
ReplyDeleteWhat? No romantic Thanksgiving together, just the two of them? We'll probably get the obligatory coffee pix today.
ReplyDeleteWonder who else was there. Who arrived in the cars ahead.
ReplyDeleteHope everyone had good times yesterday TDay or not.
Gah a weekend of reeking I can feel it my bones. Wouldn't be suprised if this is when Jake finished Pop and its a big PR photo op of Reeke going "home" to LA together. Maybe a few "romantic" days in Paree or somewhere first but probably not, Jake will be eager to get back but who knows what Reese has up her sleeve.
Did anyone see Graham Norton show? I tried Youtube and BBC but theres nothing. Wonder how 4C will do without VV pushing it to the male audience. They get paid, PR, free trips to do promos so it must been really bad on set for him to refuse to do all promos. Don't know whether to admire him for sticking to his guns and not playing public brown nosing BS games with her or if he really is an asshole for not doing teamwork. Wonder how it affects Jake and his relationships like with Anniston. You KNOW Reese is a "take sides" type. "You're either supporting me or you're not." Uggh will someone please take her out of our misery.
So does this mean momma G. didn't go to London, as someone posted, or was Reeke more important than spending the holiday with his family?
ReplyDeleteAnd did Austin head over there during the break from OTH, or is he with his family? I sure hope the latter.
According to Gossip Girls, Reese brought a fruitcake to the gathering.
ReplyDeleteLOL!
Sorry - reese? jake? Busy looking Austin in those pants, dammmmmn. Jake watch it cause something that good doesn't go unnoticed.
ReplyDeleteFC doesn't need Vince promoting to do well, it's doing quite well with Reese doing PR.
ReplyDeleteHere is one of the comments from www.deadlinehollywood.com:
"I told you “Four Christmases” would do really well at the box office. I suspect it will gross at least $100 million by the time all is said and done. I told you that Vince Vaughn would rue his decision to bail on promoting this picture. I told you Reese Witherspoon would get many props for sticking it out and selling it when no one else would.
Expect Reese Witherspoon to get a MAJOR Warner Bros. starring vehicle sometime in the very near future.
Call it a hunch…
And despite the crappy reviews, it's on track to make over 35 million by the end of this weekend. It beat out Twilight yesterday.
That 4xmas is doing well is just a testament to the average ill informed movie goer. The hype drew them in but most are disliking the film. It's scoring 25% on Rotten tomatoes. I think box office will drop off as word of mouth gets out. Also, word was that Reese refused to do any promo if Vince participated. It had to be one of them, not both. That the story is getting twisted in her favor is no surprise.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever seen a Rotten Tomatoes review that low? I would think that those involved in the film would be under contract for at least minimal promo duties, so somebody with some clout must have nixed it. I wonder who? :(
ReplyDeleteType A (Reese) and Wild West(Vince)were part of the group of production companies who did the movie, so they both had have pull. Reese could say I won't do PR if he does, and Vince had pull to say - I'm not doing anything.
ReplyDeleteThe Jack troll is everywhere on the web right now celebrating the great box office of 4c's and telling everyone how it is all about Reese's great PR and how the studio is grateful to her.
ReplyDeleteShut up Jack. The studio contracts her to do the press up front. No surprise that she bore the brunt of the PR. Their displeasure with VV will not translate into MAJOR STARRING ROLES for Reese. Unless you count the piece of turd Ben Stiller movie she has coming up. Reese is the Will Smith of female actresses. She can consistently make money churning movies of poor quality. She has about three cute years left. Good luck to her.
The I won't do PR if Vince doesn't sounds like BS, where did you hear that? The only thing I heard was that he was busy filming which is BS.
ReplyDeleteThey could have easily did PR seperately for 4C, they are not joined at the hip. I don't recall seeing Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn and James Franco making joint appearences on talk shows. The premiere yes,but not talk shows or even print, he has no excuse.
Vince could have done Leno and Craig Furgeson while she did Letterman, kimmell, etc. but he chose not to because perhaps he smelled another bomb like he had last year with Fred Claus. Even Tim McGraw did SNL for FC and I saw Sissy Spacek and Steenburger do a talk show for 4C and of course K. Chenoweth did PR.
Trying to lay blame on Reese is pretty childish, plus since both she and Vince are co-producers she and Vince would have equal say in the matter.
Reality is Vince is a first class douche bag, that's no secret in HW and this just cements that. HW will look at this as Reese being professional and promoting a crap movie and Vince distancing himself from it not becasue of on set friction but he smelled a bomb.
Ironic since it's on it's was to making $$$.
The BI about them mentions the tension but also points out that he is using filming as an excuse and did say he was an asshole, which he is.
HW takes notice of crap like that.
Rotten tomatoes ratings have no play on BO as you can see.
Now back to Austin and waist that everyone want to hold on to. : )
ReplyDeleteOnce everyone tells their friends what crap it is I seriously doubt 4C will have legs or sell dvds.
ReplyDeleteRT is a good indicator of how subsequent weekends will do. 4C needs to really bank if it is going to warrant its bloated payroll. $40 million isn't even halfway there. Keep the cork on the champagne.
ReplyDeleteI just wondered if the studios had the final say about promoting films (they seem to dictate other things), and it's odd that Vince hasn't been seen at all - he'd be funny on talk shows. If this is what appeals to most people, I fear for humanity. No I don't, everything now makes sense . . .
ReplyDeleteAs I read in one review of 4C's, why pay $10 for something you can get at home for free during the holidays? ;)
^^Oops the above was not Anonymous, it was Horrendous. ;)
ReplyDeleteWhy would Reese take the brunt of doing PR for a crap movie and don't say she didn't know because this had several screenings and they did not go over well and both Reese and Vince attended the main one for Warner bros.
ReplyDeleteAgain, there is NO reason for her to insist that Vince don't do PR for this especially since he could have done other talk shows.
Sure it would have meant that he would have to lie and say how fun it was like she is doing but so what? It's called acting and plenty of others before them have done the same. He sure was quoted as saying some nice things about her in that Vouge article, but he could have been lying there as well which makes his silence more suspicious: he smelled a bomb. And he can't say anything now just because it's making $$$, LOL!!!!
Yes Vince is a douche bag, no news.
Reese comes out looking professional,Hw does and will take notice.
Maybe Hollywood will realize it was Reese who drove Vince Vaughn to his absolute breaking point when in the past he has always been completely professional. Maybe Hollywood will say that the tight assed Witherspoon is not worth the mental anguish she puts her leading men through.
ReplyDeleteEither way you're in the wrong spot for kissing Reese's ass. Why don't you head back to IMDB.
^^So, you're saying that she plays by the rules and doesn't deviate from a script, and Vince is a bit of a nonconformist, improvisationalist and rebel? Their production company names fit well then. Type A and Wild West. Wild West sounds better. ;)
ReplyDeleteI haven't decided what I'm going to see this weekend, Milk or Australia. I'm sure 4C's has some cute and funny moments, but I'm not big on romcoms especially holiday ones. :)
Waste of space about Reese. Wicked and Special made OMG for Jake and Austin not Reese.
ReplyDelete^^Sorry, that was me, The Grinch. :)
ReplyDeleteHear, hear. Sorry to have baited the Reese troll.
ReplyDeleteNot many are tall enough to put their hand on Austin's shoulder. Jake is of course. Kissing height.
Milk does not open near me until dec 5. Can't wait to see it. Rave reviews. I will see it the first chance I get.
I'll hold Austin's waist but its not first choice. Thinking of a little farther down in front. omg did I say that??
ReplyDeleteSorry I probably started the Reese troll.
ReplyDeleteWas it last year at TGiving when Austin was in the midwest with family (when he got the DUI)? He has relatives in Texas and Missouri (??) too? Could be he and BT went to Texas this time. Seems pretty private. Is it possible even remotely that Austin's sister was the surrogate? She was pregnant. Whether she carried the baby or not, its very possible she was the mother (her egg via artificial insemination or in vitro) and Jake the donor father so the baby will have both Nichols/Gyllenhaal genes just like if it was a Jake/Austin baby. Something to think about. Choosing the egg donor/mother, the other half of the baby's genes is very important. Who do you think Jake and Austin would choose? Not just anybody.
Chris, no need to apologise for bringing on "the Reese troll" since there is no Reese "troll" here, unless the definition of trolling has changed to "saying anything remotely positive about Reese".
ReplyDeleteYou said a whole bunch of negative stuff about Reese and wondered how the film would manage without VV doing PR, someone else came in and said that Reese was doing the professional thing and that the lack of VV PR is not harming the films BO at all. In fact, 4C is looking like it's going to make a very nice bundle of cash. It got a great TG bounce and looks like it's going to massively outperform both Reese and Vince's last movie.
Jake's too.
Apparently good news for Jake's friend/girlfriend really brings out a lot of hate here. Oh well, better luck next time.
A crappy movie is good news for Jake's beard?
ReplyDeleteLovely Austin Friday post, thanks Spesh *
ReplyDeleteI saw Reese on Graham Norton, she was irked she didn't have more air time, acted a bit bemused by the whole experience, tried to be kooky and didn't mention Jake once.
Chris, no need to apologise
ReplyDeleteAnd I know BS when I see it.
Chris
ReplyDeleteAustin DUI was in August and in Michigan.
Austin's an uncle to both a niece and nephew. His brother in law Rowdy mentioned this summer that Ella is three and Linc is 1 so don't think they went that way for a surrogate.
My take on what Ted said way back when was that they were going for a donor for the egg, a joint effort on their part (mixed cocktail) and a surrogate, and that Goose would be the father on paper, no matter who's swimmer won.
^^So sweet! :)
ReplyDeleteone of the most respected UK film critics hates 4C
ReplyDeleteReese deeply cares about reviews not just box office. When she won the critics choice award for Walk the Line she included a snotty comment in her acceptance speech for those who slammed Just Like Heaven.
ReplyDeleteLittle Miss Type A expects more than decent box office in the first weekend. She is probably very unhappy right now. Poor Jake.
If reese was in London for Thanksgiving you can bet she went there to play Jakes beard. She also went there with a gig on hand. Sounds like she made an appearance on a talk show. I think each time she has went overseas to see Jake she had a way to make some money on the trip.
ReplyDeleteReese is probably going to have the No1 movie in America this weekend, and thanks to VV absence she'll be getting the publicity. Add to that the nice chunk of change she's pocketing thanks to its non-bomb status and I'm guessing she's more than happy right now.
ReplyDeleteIf anyone is unhappy, it must be Austin. Left holding the baby while his man hangs out in London with Reese. Constantly seeing pictures of Jake with Reese and her children; that must break his heart. I bet he wishes he could be seen out with Jake and their child. What must he be thinking? Forced to hide his love AND his child? Do you think this Thanksgiving that he imagined the conversations he will be having with his child in the future?
"Daddy Austin, why did you and Daddy Jake keep me a secret for so long? Were you ashamed of me?" Teen Tile asks, hir eyes filling up with tears. Maybe that isn't even the saddest thought? Maybe he is wondering if Jake will ever come out at all?
...*sniff*. Oh, that's too depressing. I need cheering up. Anyone know any good comedies I could watch this weekend?
Everyone loves a Christmas comedy. Home Alone. Christmas Vacation. Christmas with the Kranks. 4xmases happens to be the movie HW is pushing this year. The production company has spent a fortune advertizing this flick. I have seen it everywhere and got to say reese has been out there trying to push the film. It will be number 1 this weekend. If it is horrible like everyone says it will drop like a lead ballon next weekend.
ReplyDeleteRegardless of this weekends box office if Four Xmases doesn't make at least 150 Million it will not be considered a huge success because of the marketing budget, the stars paychecks, the large number of producers (who drastically increase the costs) plus filming, distribution etc. It won't do well overseas and the word of mouth with kill DVD sales. The ignorant Reese fanboy knows this too which is increasing his desperation and making him more hostile then usual.
ReplyDeleteLooks pretty obvious to me that the two lovebirds did not come together. Different cars and different type of clothing.
ReplyDelete^Jersey Tom
ReplyDeleteJake is pretty (uh, not at some angles) but it's Austin who's HOT! any angle, anytime, anywhere. :)
ReplyDeleteReeke has been a bit odd lately, wonder what the weekend will bring?
FYI, where is all this hostility? All I see are surprisingly good BO numbers for 4 Christmases and a few people here getting annoyed at Reese.
ReplyDeleteAs for word of mouth, I'd agree that it should kill 4 Christmases BO and DVD sales, except that the movie made 50% MORE on Thursday than it did on Wednesday. All the other family movies went DOWN on Thanksgiving. So amazingly enough WOM on this thing looks like it's a lot better than the reviews would suggest.
Either way, Reese has been front and centre in the publicity drive for what will be trumpeted as the "No1 hit comedy this Thanksgiving" and has already banked a fat paycheck (if your belief about the stars paychecks is correct). If it manages to knock off Twilight as No1 film this weekend the trumpets will sound even louder and Reese will get even more publicity and make even more money.
But enough about Reese, this is an Austin post! Do you think Baby Tile spent Thanksgiving playing with hir cousins? Or is that too risky with the possibility that friends of the family who aren't 100% clued in on his relationship with Jake might have been around? Do you think Austin takes BT out on trips to the park, or is being seen out with a pushchair a little dangerous considering the possible presence of paps? DO you think the producers of OTH have threatened to fire him if his secret comes out?
It really is incredible that no-one is jumping on such a juicy story. Disney really must be doing a great job of paying off people to keep quiet about all of this. I'm surprised that they are also managing to stop the paps from getting a few snaps of Austin and BT, but again, that might be because he doesn't take the child out much. Or maybe they are constantly being paid off? I suppose it's a good thing Jake is doing the Hollywood thing, because the big checks would definitely help with all these expenses!
Jake and Reese have dressed like that before in london. Remember the pics of them in June with Bruckheimer? He looked like a homeless bum.
ReplyDeleteHere at least he had on boots, decent jeans and an expensive looking coat and scarf, the whooly hat threw it off though.
Looking at the pics you could say
that Gweneth wasn't there with them either. Just more games from them to make it look like they are avoiding the paps, LOL!!
Not to worry, they have a few more days over there.
I think Austin's best feature is his smile & his height! Soooo hot, hot, hot. No wonder Jakey can't keep away! Toothy, Goose & little gosling...so sweet :)
ReplyDeleteHey Chris! Happy Thanksgiving to you! Good to see you.
ReplyDeleteSpecial, waist is nice, but I'm talking a little lower, from the backview. As in picture # 5. Nice pic! I like that first one, too.
I saw some different clips of 4C's on TV tonight and there wasn't a funny line in it at all. I'm not quite sure why they used those. We'll see how it does the second weekend; that'll be more telling. I am with Special. I can't believe Vince couldn't say one iota about the film from wherever he was at? No, I think there was alot of truth to all the rumors this past summer about them not getting along.
Interesting on the pictures on IHJ or Gossip Girls; I can't remember now which ones had the whole spiel. Tons of Reese and one of Jake. One. And why weren't they together? Isn't that odd? I would say so. Why wouldn't there be a picture of them arriving together?
Good to see the boy is still alive over there. And even though it's not a good angle and you only get his right profile, his initial appearance continues to shock me somewhat. He just looks ragged & unscrubbed. And I know part of it must be from the movie role. And maybe he's trying out a new style -that Colin Farrell or Mickey Rourke look. But that boy can clean up good. And I just don't see him ever cleaning up good when he's with her anymore. Those caps really aren't helping any. Oh well, at least it's cold now and there's a valid reason for wearing them, lol.
I'm off to hit the hay. Been a long day. Special, did you hit any bargains? I hope those people @ Best Buy got what they were wanting.
Was up and at the store before 6 and got a few things for Christmas, and of course some DVD's for me. And my niece even made it.
ReplyDeleteAnd oh honey that picture of him and Bill from JFC was definitely showing one of his best features. And yes it is lower and the backview.
I still think Jake is wearing pants that are too long on him and he's done that before - I wonder who's pants he grabbed? ; )
PG - do you know the house I'm talking about with all the penguin stuff on their lawn ? And the one subdivision that everyone has their house decorated and they have those big cards in their yards?
"Daddy Austin, why did you and Daddy Jake keep me a secret for so long? Were you ashamed of me?" Teen Tile asks,
ReplyDeleteWell, it's a long time till BT will ask that question, if ever.
But Ava & Deacon?
" Mom, why do you force us to walk and hold hands with that man with a beard when we hardly know who he is? and why is everyone calling him our Dad when we already have one whom we love very much? why do they say he lives with us when he doesn't? Why do they say he's the love of your life when he hates you?" ( oh I can go on endlessly....)
Ava & Deacon's eyes filled with tears! (of course)
So what do you think Reese says?
Your posts are as dumb as your name, schadenfreudelocious.
Sorry for engaging the troll. Couldn't help myself :)
Sorry Special K delete my post if you wish.
ReplyDeleteSpecial, I woulda' been out there if I had seen anything I really wanted. Last year, or was it the year before I can't remember which, I went to Circuit City when they opened at 6am. Oh geez, their register lines wound all throughout the store. I wanted Rudolph, the Rednosed Reindeer in DVD and they had it for $5. I stood in one of those lines for like 45 minutes to an hour. It was such a longtime, you got to know & talk to the people who were in front of you & back of you. Anyway, I finally got to the register, which was way back in car stereos, and the guy looked at my one dvd and said "That's It???" I said yes, I was ecstatic. That's all I wanted. Rudolph for $5. lol. Must be crazy.
ReplyDeleteI know what neighborhood you're talking about with the Christmas cards. Guess what, my Avon Lady lives in there. Her husband, when he was in better health, used to dress as Santa & hand out candy canes to the cars when they drove through. I can't remember what they call that subdivision, but you can see it right off of I-35.
The penguins, I think I know. Are they at that house in a cul-de-sac on the edge of the street? Off of Mur-Len? Those people have a ton of the blow-ups? So many that they encircle their entire house?
And I agree. Jake better watch it if he leaves Austin unattended to for too long. Someone's going to make a move on that guy right out from under his nose, lol. As if they probably haven't already. Like 100 times.
The penguins, I think I know. Are they at that house in a cul-de-sac on the edge of the street? Off of Mur-Len? Those people have a ton of the blow-ups? So many that they encircle their entire house?
ReplyDeleteYup that's the one. The kids maybe too old to want to go see it now but when they were little they all had to go look at what new blow up was on the lawn. And it was all penguins.
FIF, why would Deacon or Ava say that Jake hates Reese? Even Ted says that Reese and Jake are friends. And "everyone" is calling Jake their Dad? Don't think so.
ReplyDeleteBut poor Baby Tile is going to grow up knowing that neither of hir Dads would stand up and acknowledge hir birth or the loving union that created hir. That is a fact. Is there something wrong with discussing this? Maybe it is too depressing to picture Austin holding his child, aching to have the freedom to say to the world that he is a father to a beautiful child and so is Jake. Maybe it's easier to focus on Reese in this post that is supposed to be about Austin. I understand, but I'm not going to ignore the fact that two people decided to bring a new life into this world and then act like they hadn't. Clay Aiken can do it, but Austin and Jake can't?
And every day that goes by is another day wasted. Another day that Austin has to deal with, another day he has to cope with the idea that his love would rather play the Hollywood game than stand by his partner and his child.
It's all too heartbreaking. Perhaps Austin and that precious child should not be exposed to the harsh glare of reality. Just know Austin, if you are reading this blog (as some people here think) there are people out there who know what you are going through, and who sympathise completely with the terrible position you are in. You are in our thoughts, and we pray for the day you and Jake and little Baby Tile can be an open and happy family. Until then, we'll continue to call Reese a nasty bitch because we're sure that helps in some mysterious way.
I forgot about that house, Special. My sister & I took the kids out tonight to look at decorated houses. They love the blow ups, or "air ups" as my niece calls them. I never thought to take them to see that house - it is something. I can't imagine setting all those up.
ReplyDeleteMy niece & nephew are also growing up. My nephew is obssessed with his Nintendo DTS and it's funny to hear them in the backseat telling each other to "please stop" when the other one is doing something that annoys the other. He dislikes her constant chattering/singing and she gets annoyed with all of his sound effect noises.
Well, we'll see what tomorrow brings. I'm not going to try and "predict" anything or anticipate anything. There is no longer any need to encourage or tip off Reeke's Management team. There's no need for any of us to be a non-paid member of their payroll. Let 'em think on their own.
Sweet dreams, Special - nice chatting with you tonight. :)
Then again, some people prefer secrets and not to be in the open, schadenfreude etc, and that's an option too. So wipe those crocodile tears.
ReplyDeleteClay who? Sorry, not a good comparison.
