Looking Back

Wow - another year wasn't sure we would get through it all .

In January Jake was in a Brotherly way and we started out wondering the ways to pitch koolaid, and how to make a LumberJake. Heard that Austin was out in the woods too but still not seen so we put out the milk carton missing signs, heard rumors that Jake proposed and was headed to the altar and not with Austin, and realized Jake hasn't photographed with the 'rents for half a year, Mags since April and May of 07 with his man. Got a pass for People's Choice cause of the writer's strike and no Golden Globes to worry about who to bring to either. And gave our first big wave to Ev and crew (and hey we still see you - so glad we're still here - how 'bout you?) And they're off and not Austin's shirt but random obscure blog sightings of Jake and something tiny, so tiny it can't be seen on cameras, cell phones or without paparazzi present. There was some fence building but maybe not the best kind. Saki -bombs! Utopian Society comes out on video and the Washington Post reminded us that sweethearts (America's not Jake's) are not always what they seem. Austin lost a co-star (Brad Renfro) and none us predicted what everyone would lose by the end of January. There's was Butch and Sundance - never thinking that godpa Butch would be gone and Austin would be the one going to Sundance first by then end of the year.

And then.... then..... losing Heath........


Jake shaken, silent and then seen, but not how and with who we thought - the fence up in force - crumbling some and shaking others to the core. So much speculation and many looking for resolutions.

We got TWICKED again! And with pictures too! Brother's stretches a little longer, blogger mentions some fighting and this time not with Tobey, Yes He Can - AUSTIN APPEARS! showing up on one of the hotest videos of the year - Obama's. Jake shakes it - for Ellen's big birthday. Big Blue is back baby and on Austin's finger - in NYC! And hanging out with friend Sophia Bush - looking forward to Fall (fashion?) Unofficial Austin Friday's begins and a special Outspotlight no one can forget - William Haines and Jimmy Shields. Always a fan - Jake and some buddies check out Rufus at the Wiltern singing out to 14th St. Jake loses the beard - no not that one. Rendition comes out on DVD and speculate that Austin would be back with Milch In The Ninth. Hjulia gifts us with a great find of Austin in Italian Vogue. The Oscars slip by and we wonder about HW more. And who better to take the leap (this year) with than Austin (listening Jake?)

Marching around NY and still not buying it. But so buying a photo shoot of Austin that shows him shirtless, suited, swinged and ringed (twice). Jake gives the bird (on his shirt) and a little shout out about his goose? Giusi's Jaustin video's go away on YouTube but OMG helps bring them back and speaks out about Sally Kern. And OMG talks about videos as we start our Movie Club. And more videos of Austin - this time - Full Count - our first chance to check out it. And yeah there was a funky footwear showdown. Jake's on crutches - they say basketball - but maybe even funkier footwear than we knew about then had something to do with it. His old and very much missed grin was back for a moment when helping to celebrate LA conservation. JFC gave us their best about US Weekly, we did some Jake Walking - or is that getting Jake Legged and it's not spring until Unicorn hunting begins. Don't think they do that one at the Nicked LL ranch.

No Fooling -even more Austin - 10 episodes of JFC releases, despite not being seen publicly he is seen on screen even more. We wonder if Emmy's would agree? Some Cabo Wabo for the guy with a happy pappy tummy who looks more excited about who's on the phone than his "date"- storing up for leaner times? Spesh goes to Washington and so Jake sort of but he gets Nailed and then gets pounded trying to make the movie not by David O. Russell, but by SAG when money woes shut them down, one, twice, three times and still being seen with that lady - the name escapes me - Not before bringing the hammer down on people disclosing where he was going to live while getting his Southern Exposure. And the rumors swirl like a sand storm that Jake could be crowned a prince, while the moon waits. A real prince comes out. Jakes hits the gym at U SC (Go Cocks!) to get regal. And McBongo gets Jake to donate a wiglette for Magnum? We still wonder Where in the World Is Austin Nichols while we play what do we want to see him in. Our first official movie club and appropriately its one of Ang's. Jake comes back to LA under the radar sort of - for a Texas size birthday? Austin celebrates how else by losing his shirt.


When you think Nichols you gotta think pickles - and for one day in May you did, and Austin gets a PoPsickle while Jake gets a new Reece (as in Ritchie). And still has the deal with the other one as just like a senator takes the show on the road to DC although the "running mate" is too tired to actually run. Ted says again Goose is still with his Tooth, while people speculated about Austin and Sophia again. All Californians get to marry and Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin after over 50 years together finally get to, legally, and are the first in California. We hit the hard stuff and find how to make a Jake Walk and you like your Gray Goose. Jake take Royal Crown officially with Disney and Bruckheimer. OMG discusses better living through chemistry. Spooky creates Austins for us that are works of art and then some, her well never dry even in a Austin drought. Then prayers answered when we find out out that Austin has been making Prayers for Bobby the story of Mary Griffith and the tragic loss of her gay son Bobby. Jake loses even more with the passing of his grandmother.

No junebugs but a monkey on Jake's back okay shoulder and the hoody goes up and who knew it was going to be a six month trend - sleastak, monk, or just cover up for another tricky hair do after his plaster job in Nailed? Austin down with the Wu-Tang? Talking about trailers blowing up on the set of TDAT years earlier - what is is with these two and trailers? Brokeback came to network TV in the US - edited even on cable that stirred up speaking out. Billy Crystal spilled the beans from another western and made us picture a 10 yr Jake singing "Wash that man right outta my hair" will no abandon. And someone else was called tiny! Jake well, cause he was when his mom said they knew he would be a actor since he was kid. Brother's get screened, and Mom reappears as some others make hasty exits and Jake gets spotted. More marriage talk but still not the one who already has the ring. Emmy hopes dashed as they submit the one ep Austin's not in for consideration, but OMG considered some old pictures and realizes Papa Nichols is going with Pedro for President. Jake's in London and thus begins a half a year abroad or is that another half with a broad ? The Dark Knight takes off and we see Heath's brillance one more time.

Vacation time for some and always working for others even when they visit as "vacation". Jake shows his royal qu..princeliness on horseback or on My Little Pony take your pick. Then show up a looking like he's rolled out and half in the bag at the same time at Scott's. Rowdy talks about travel with his brother in law to Italy - lending us to wonder if it was smoke or fire about Austin in Europe. But from Jake's looks at look a likes we know he what he likes to spy with his little eye more than fireworks on Bastille day. Jake goes French stripes but no beret but a beanie to cover the long locks. Not following the THE RULES - the trash is piling up - shit - oops sugar - that's not good - he's got to get those down pat. Location Location Location, and while there is talks of home buying, its more about location of things unseen and seen that speak the loudest. The Truth is Out there - well that Austin is Tweedy in Chris Carpenter's secret project Fencewalker - but the jury's out if it part of the X-files or not. And in the middle of European Vacation - Austin pops up in person (first since Feb) on the red carpet with a girl friend from FNL - did the Mouse Roar? Everyone helped celebrate a Special day. Jake became Dastan (trickster indeed) and a gastrosexual. While missed out a lot on the Cape while he was in Morocco we didn't miss a thing when Matt Frost's portrait of Austin intwined in some gorgeous gams appeared.

First look at The Informers seeing Austin in all new ways but in some old combos and positions. Speculation when and where we would see it and then hearing PoP was getting the push back to 2010. OMG gave its all to give cover songs that the musical men could sing. The Olympics in our own way and highlight Matthew Mitchum and the other out Olympians. And we celebrate our First anniversary (Yeah us!) while the August moon rose to find Austin afflicted with Long Arm Syndrome, that there was a second prince in line to the throne, which and fans went spinning in all directions when the first "suprise, unplanned just happened to be there" look as Jake as the Prince of Persia comes out - was there someone else there - you know sand and sun and something so tiny it can get lost. But Secret Squirrel and Morocco Mole could find out. We hit the dogs days of summer and Atti, Atti, Atti we feel for you bud. History making happened with nomination of Obama for Presidential Candidate for the Democratic party and the way back machine back to TDAT. But Tom ruled and Wicked no doubt heard it, as Ted answered another letter from Tom. With just one word - Yes to a simple question - is there a Baby Tile.

Misinformed about Informers - not Sitges but it will be Sundance and Cannes for this gaining notice ensemble and movie. But there was no misinformation that Austin was going to be on One Tree Hill for 10 episodes as Julian Baker, an indie movie producer. And gets work with old time friend Sophia Bush. Austin Fridays is not enough and Austin Monday's begins. And still not enough - OMG starts JFC discussions to figure out what the hell Milch was doing. Rumors bubble up again about Spidey and Toby and Jakey. And Jake spotted enjoying some of the sights of Morocco at Jardin Majorelle and sneaking a taste some Moroccon ice cream which is clearly not a part of the fitness plan. Ted talks about Goose abs that are attention worthy. But its hands between them that had us remembering both Toothy and Jake's smooth moves with Goose and Austin.

It's wasn't penquins that on the list of costumes for J & A but penquins daddies are the number one banned book in the U.S. Jake's secret trip over to NYC for a weekend. Brothers gets pushed out of December and into 2009 - too much backgammon too little time to promote - Spooky & Hjulia find the photos of Austin on the set of One Tree Hill and the countdown is on until our first glimpse of Julian on the show as Jake resurface in England and alone! the next day. Piggy back the new black? Jake as the 2nd sexiest man, while Austin brought sexy back to One Tree Hill as bad boy Julian, and no lady is safe but is Lucas' book. Austin shows the chops and more fans jump on his climbing star. And after talk of being Beeked - he's not going anywhere too fast on OTH. Will it lead to more face time? Or maybe a new address like - Melrose Place. After another shovel load looked at the secrets to better gardening is that pr'ing ? More for Jake's plate - as the public learns of the divorce. Partied like it was 1999, Jake got caught holding the bag (but really anything else?) and buttoned up the overcoat for the cold winds. Birthday time? And the real reasons that Jake came back to LA. ; ) Same Snaps Different Day - though the Laker's Look looked great run ahead and not turning back. Seeing Jake's smile again it after work is over and all on his own. Ted still not letting up and taking it down a peg or two. Some may skip that. More rumors of Jake, Matt and Fincher in Torso. And Halloween for our favorite two or two and half.

Jake could pass the Presidential Fitness test hands down after his workouts for PoP for all those months, while the U.S. shattered history with the election of Barack Obama. Prop 8 passes and brings together tens of thousands to speak up and speak out and take to the street all over the country calling for change. Austin the devil or just making a devil with him? Viva Voce Virus Premieres!! Jake likes coffee, tea, and ....., Austin a man on the streets of Wilmington and with fans from OTH. Austin goes back in time and who doesn't love a man in a hat? More comes out about Mom & Dad, and Jake lays low till turkey day and PoPs only once up for business. The first sneak peak of Prince of Persia and hearing Jake speak on camera the first time in a long long time. While Jake has give hints and nods about his Goose, looks like Austin was doing the same thing on OTH. Revisitng Donnie Darko and patting the bunny. OMG got its cook on! The Little Prince and the Prince of Persia, and Austin's sweet spot.

Scopions stowed away and made a reappearance on the PoP set. Austin making a reappearance at Sundance this time as an actor not a party crasher. Jake the inspiration for mom's writing? Ted drops some big B.V.'s as PoP wraps. Not letting up on Jake front either. OMG gives some suggestions for sharing during the season. Prayers for Bobby gets it date and gives us preview. Santas run in Speedos. We celebrate Wicked in song(s). Gift ideas for birthdays, Hanukkah and Christmas for casa del Gyll. Jake comes home and but business is not done although the hair got cut. But someone elso does likes a man in a hat so much he got one. (x-large cause remember even Jake professes to his large noggin). Get Christmas off and back to business. Austin soon back to Wilmington to finish up or get more? OTH.

Somethings remain the same - business continues, wedding bells ring every other month but sounds more like a hollow pipe. Rumors persist despite so much time and effort by handlers and powers. Ted doesn't look like he's gonna to let anything get by him. Goose and Tooth as still together despite all the ups and downs and a threesome maybe come a foursome in 2009?

But the biggest thing - that OMG is here and we continue to have fun, speak our minds, spend time together, laugh and find new friends.

Here's to a Happy New Year in 2009. May there be less of some things and much more of others.

Happy New Year to everyone! 2008 was an incredible year. I figured out how to really use my laptop, discovered OMG and LiveJournal communities, and made some absolutely wonderful internet friends. It has been one of the best years of my life.

Ha Ha! Special, splendid post. Teenie Tiny, lol. One of the catch phrases of Reeke 2008. Oh, and how about the-oh-so-private-couple? Lol to the 10th power.

Hey Northeast, did you register your name? I don't remember you having an avatar. Great one, btw.

Certainly one of the most tragic news of 2008, the passing of Heath. I still can't believe it. I need to re-watch BBM - haven't seen it for awhile. The roles that guy could've taken after TDK but now never will, will continue to haunt people.

And I don't know what in the heck I was looking at. Totally missed the matching jackets & baskets. Just as well. What in the heck.....I thought mothers & little daughters did that kind of thing. Lol.

Better go on that note. Talk to everyone later.

Posted on wft2 today:

I have been visiting this site for awhile now and have come to the conclusion that the people who come here only really care about Jake. But, that's understandable. It is rather difficult to be interested in someone who is such a spineless weenie as Austin. At least Jake is making a public and active decision to "beard" ( if the relationship with Reese is actually fake, which I am not so sure of). He's apparantly willing to suffer the slings and arrows. What is Austin doing except hiding in the shadows and serving as a sexual convience for Jake? Austin isn't out and proud, now is he? What's stopping him? Another coward.

That's right. I said "convience". There may have been love in the beginning, but I doubt it now. But it is useful to have Austin around. There are all kinds of reasons for a couple to stay together, inertia for one.

I predict that when Jake finally gets what he wants (financially)or comes upon his "Angelina(male or female version" (romantically); Austin will become a footnote.

And I am also one who believes that Jake may be bi. But I am also one of those who believes that if Jake could have gotten Heath, Austin would have been dumped post haste.

They are back in Santa Monica?? No, really?? Aren't they almost always in either Santa Monica or Brentwood? The Brentwood Market isn't open on Wednesdays, the Santa Monica one is ( I think). It varies from count to county.

Mama likes Jakey clean shaven most likely, he is still wearing that dumb beanie so I assume his hair is still long.

Won't be long before we see them with maggie, Peter and Ramona, but no Papa!!

to Jersey Tom, I share your deep sadness.

And I also think they're gonna marry.

My own life is fine, and I owe this partly to the joyful presence of Jake that inspired me for some time - so happy new year jake! thanks for the ride!

but I REALLY need to say goodbye to whatever you're doin' now.

this is a beautiful site and Ive so much appreciated the love, poetry and sense of social responsibility!

Special K said...

Not even near each other. Think mom is the insurance policy to guarantee he doesn't have to do any PDA.

Hands full - His coffee cup says Urth Cafe so they are not in Ojai.

Stocking up on stuff to make dinner but not for Reese. She looks less than thrilled to be with Mama G. And Jake seems almost amused.

Looks like he picked up some yellow squash and it looks like dill - that would go with those cucumbers.

Anonymous said...

jayna i don't think they will get married, what they are doing is 2 people in an unhealthy relationship-freindship being oddly codependent with each other, excluding all others and using the public. Its actually very sick when you think about it, not at all normal. I'm tired of them. Its overkill. I used to save tons of pics of Jake from IHj and whereevr I could find them but shit, he's killed the thrill of it all. I could stare at Jake's pics for hours, fascinated by his beauty and uniqueness, finding something new and exciting about him in every photo. I used to post in DC Forum Jake's Eyelashes all the time but not anymore. Its become a Reese worship shrine. I don't save any Jake pics anymore and I even deleted most of the ones I had. I gave away all the dvds I had of Jake movies..I'm just not interested in watching him anymore. I never thought I would see as many pics of Reese in my life as I've seen in the last year of her with Jake. And when Jake is with her in pics, he's lost whatever charm and interestingness he had. I'm sick of them both. They are both overexposed, dull, boring and transparent. OM Godot is the only place Jake related that I go to anymore, because of the community and to hear about Austin, not Jake so much. Last January Heath died and we will never see him again. And now I feel like I will have to say goodbye and put to rest and bury the beautiful independent Jake that I used to admire, even though I will see him again, but he won't be the same. I don't know what's sadder.

"I don't know what's sadder." Yes, So Long. One night I dreamed I was crying and howling with sadness about losing Jake.

The song, today, seems relevant to me to needing to pull the painful tooth.

Was that the intention of the song, I wonder?

O gotta tooth ache. It hurts so bad. mmmm mmm mmmm ohhhhh!

Special K said...

I thought the song was kind of funny since his solution to a toothache was some Wild Turkey.

It think that's what JAke goes for when his tooth aches.

Boy, Ted must have really shaken Jake up, they've really been trying to cover all of the bases all of a sudden: friends, mom, pictures every other day, including before and after the holiday to give the impression that Jake couldn't possibly be spending time with anyone else. About the only thing left is marriage and having children.

prairiegirl said...

Well, I knew when I saw the number of posts, something had happened. What a way to spend my New Year's Eve - dogsitting and looking at Reeke with Mama G at surprise, surprise, another open air market. LOL! Well, I love dogsitting anyways.

Guys, they are answering every callout we have given here. Why isn't Jake ever seen with his family anymore ?
His family refuses to partake in Reeke, that's why they're never seen with him.

It is upsetting, sure it is. But Special's right. Look at them. Jake & Reese look like they stepped right up to the time clock, punched in, and are just doing the time. Now, what I can't figure out, though, is why.

And why is Reese walking way out in front of them and I am really biting my tongue about that look on her face. I won't say it. I think the picture speaks for itself.

They are really rolling out the Reeke Express now. Have to show that they're together New Year's Eve. We'll see if they have photo proof of the evening.

I'm sorry everyone is so upset. I'm surprised I'm not. I think I'm becoming numb, lol!

Ah! They also met the call out on Jake looking a little on the unclean side lately. Told him to hit the shower and do some laundry.

And why wouldn't his mom know all about the bearding? She knows her son. And good gosh, she hasn't seen him since he's been overseas. A mom misses her son, simple as that. She's a professional. She knows Reese and who she is. Doesn't mean she likes her or likes what her son is doing. But he's her son and she loves him to death, like any mom, I'm sure.

Your good. That is so Austin in the hat. Was that before Mom bought Jake the English tea set for Jake.

prairiegirl said...

I think you could have it, Destiny. Those last couple of bi's of Ted's were really hardcore stuff. They are hitting on every missing cylinder that OMG & WFT2 has pointed out, simple as that. They are going for the kill, I think. It's amazing.

It is a little disturbing to see them with his mom, tho, I will admit. They are really trying to prove something. But I swear, Reese is keeping her distance. Heck, her & Jake aren't even close. Unless there are more pictures on IHJ that show differently. This whole thing is just weird. Boy, once again, some of those comments on JustJared are brutal! I don't know if some of them are people who frequent these 2 websites or are people who don't even know OMG & WFT2 exist. I'd be curious.

And you know, I swear, now that Jake is back in the States, I'm afraid Reeke has quickly become as Rag/Blog Oversaturated as Brangelina, Heidi & whoever that guy is on The Hills, Amy Winehouse, Britney in her Glory Days, etc. What is up with that. Does Jake enjoy it, I wonder? Is he liking the constant presence of the paps? And do paps hang out at open air markets??? What kind of place is that to hang out at? Or are the paps hanging out outside of the house, waiting for them to leave? Well, or waiting for Reese to leave. Perhaps Jake pu Mama G and they met Reese there. Or they all rode in that gasguzzling SUV.

Well, I want to issue a dare to Ted. Ted, you need to reel your line back in and hurl out another one, buddy. It's Round 20 and you're up. Go into the windup and let 'er rip.

Actually PG I"m not upset, for me the birthday pictures were worse, and signaled that reeke was going to heat up even more. And after getting reeke practically 24/7 I can, at least for the moment, happily say I don't care too much about Jake or what he does. Personally I"m just waiting for Austin to come to his senses, and for the Reeke wedding so I can finally shut the door on all this.

Well said, that is anything but. Paps don't care about Austin so we're not going to see him. I guess he could cure that if he found some starlet to beard with, but he clearly chooses not to do that. Don't see how that makes him a coward. And I can't believe you have the audacity to suggest that bearding is the brave route to go.

I actually think Austin is brave because he's choosing to build his career by working hard and taking all kinds of roles, and working up the ranks. Getting yourself splashed all over the tabloids is the coward's way of doing it if you ask me, not to mention the lazy way.

Step by step we are inching closer to the final big decision that Evelyn has to make. Will Jake become Mr. Witherspoon. It has been a slow process but Ted is right. It is time for your decision Ev. The summer of 2010 is more than a year away boss. Are we gonna drag this out till then or are we gonna get these two hitched so they can go the the premiere of PoP as Wife and Wimp? The time has come.

My guess is that they will be married sometimes this summer and will be an established legal lie over a year before the premiere.

Next we need to know if Maggie is in on this scam. I am 50/50 now but at this point we will probably see reeke in NYC after the holidays and the Globes with Maggie and Ramona. reeke will definitely be at the Globes together. Easy call.

How does all this feel Austin????

And I don't blame anybody for throwing the towel @ Jake and saying sayanara. I know I certainly don't feel like a fan of his as much as I did a year ago. It'd be different if they went out & about a few times for token's sake, but they're trumpeting this thing like a Brad Pitt/Angelina pairing. And we just keep getting the same cr-- everytime. Coffee. Shopping. Open Air Market. Hiking. Rinse & Repeat. Coffee. Shopping. Open Air Market. Hiking. Rins- well, you get my drift.

What is getting me kind of hacked off now is feeling like I can't fully express my ideas/spottings because I know that PR is spying at all times and answering everything we bring up. It's censorship of the worst kind!! And I'm not going to give them that.

And you do have a point, drama queen, that's why I'm not quite going down that road. I know I panicked back at those birthday pictures and blurted out all kinds of ridiculous stuff and then I had to go back & delete my comment because I just leaped off the cliff bigtime.

I'd like to expand on my thoughts about why I feel the way about that subject as I do, but I'm sure PR is lurking BIGTIME tonight to see what the reaction is.

I'm telling you, people, it's my feeling that they'd like nothing better than to bust up this site. They'd like to see it become a tomb. They delight in getting everyone upset, are you kidding? It's called pushing buttons. They know what is going to push the buttons of what remains of Jake's original fanbase. I think they'd like to create a new fanbase, myself, because his old original fanbase only reminds them of what they're trying to hide with Reeke.

destiny said...

Not a drama queen, just preparing for what seems to be the inevitable.

Don't let them stop you PG. If Jake wants to be stupid enough to shape his image and/or lead his life based on what we say here. well then, what can I say except baaaaa.

Hey, I want to know what the illusion is!

For those who aren't out partying it up (somehow, I know that's what you're doing right now, mr Chris. You're out there whoopin' it up, lol, otherwise you'd be on here giving it to Jake bigtime), WGN is showing the Honeymooners. Those are great. I've never really watched them before until lately because WGN shows them on Sunday nights. They're funny.

And boy, can I use a laugh right now. l. o. l.

They can Rinse and Repeat all they want but whats funny is the most important step, the Deep Conditioning treatment, isn't working. They've used it for almost 2 years and no matter how intense or how much they use or how long they leave it on it hasn't made any improvements. It hasn't made anything smoother, shiny, manageable, beautiful or healthy looking like it should have been doing. It's only made things worse: dry, rough, dull, frizzy, produced tons of split ends and flyaways, made everything look lifeless, static, and ugly.

Paul Mitchell?? LOLLLLLLL!! Good one! You killed me.

Now, just pondering the possibility of marriage.

I know I don't rule it out. Anything's possible and the way they're putting out the lighthouse beacon light on themselves would certainly seem to hint that they want to appear headed right in that direction.

But man, what an absolutely drastic step. What is this, 1950??? He doesn't have to do it, for gosh sakes. And I certainly hope his people are not telling him he does.

Did Jake & Austin know about the extent to which the bearding was going to take when they decided to have baby T? Did Austin agree to the extent?
And was marriage originally in the plans? Is it in the plans now? Would Jake really do it when there is a baby T and possibly another on the way? That seems just absollutely unfathomable. Bad enough that he would marry Reese while just being with Austin. And that Austin would agree to that step. But to do it while having a baby with his true lover?

I cannot believe, cannot believe that someone would do that. I don't care how big the something is to hide. This is 2008 for gosh sakes. That idea is just insane.

I'm trying to think of some HW couple who have been together & trumpeted in the rags, yet have not married. hmm. lol. Give me a few minutes. Somebody help me out. I don't get on the HW blogs anymore so I'm not in the know as much as I used to be.

I am with you Destiny. Thanks for the pep talk.

PR girl. You can say what you want it is all predictable. It has been a long slow show and each step has to correspond with the opening of Pop in 2010. It is planned and calculated and Mom has been along for the right from the beginning. She was around when Jake told us that reese could grow an amazing beard. Wouldn't be surprised now if Mom hasnt been calling some of the shots. Jakes life is ran by three powerful women. Mom, Ev and the general.

I know many are not fans of Mr. G around here but I am beginning to think he had a very good reason to run like hell. These people have sold their souls.

I don't know a whole lot about the big G's so I can't say much.

But I can say there does seem to be a big trend here and echoing what you're saying, Tom. Jake is just surrounding himself with strong, powerful women in his life. And not in the way that makes him look like a player, either.

It is a case of selling one's soul. For what. Money? Prestige & fame? I wouldn't say the role of a lifetime because that is what the role of Jack Twist was in BBM. The movie role of a lifetime. PoP is not going to be a big critically acclaimed movie flick - it's a bigscreen extravaganza. Not that there's anything at all wrong with doing a big fun movie like that. But to do it just to get the Big Franchise that comes with a movie like that? That's kind of selling out and it's selling one's self short.

Goldie Hawn & Kurt Russell. Of course! I think they've said, too, that they're never going to get hitched.

Anonymous said...

Mr S G is okay by me too Tom. Naomi is ok too. Looks like she doesn't like Reese very much. Looks like Reese tagged along at FM today just like she did at Brothers preview. Reese doesn't have many friends to hang with and I thimk Jake feels sorry for her. Jake's friends are mostly other gay couples and his partner is Austin. Not only does Jake want to uphold the privacy of his friends, he also wants to keep his love life, his relationship with Austin, special, almost sacred, keep it precious not have it exploited, not have their relationship splashed all over the tabloids and their professional lives reduced to gossip and snark about what they do in the bedroom. So who else but needy Reese to be photographed with in public? A PR match made in heaven. Reese needs marriage gossip, Jake needs a public girlfriend. Notice all of Reese's PR interviews, editorials, pap pic descriptions, etc. revolves around Jake love and marriage. None of Jake's does, he hasn't answered, talked about or even been asked about it has he. They won't marry. Reese and PR would like everyone to think they will but it has never crossed Jake's mind, never. Its 1 thing he will not sell his soul to. Being an actor is 1 thing, public appearance is another and they are both manageable. Sacrificing your base ideals and what you are and who you love and hating yourself, maybe its negotiable to some people but not to Jake. Only if he lost everything he valued would he stoop so low. He might, but not now. The only thing he's doing is riding Reese's PR coattails and benefiting from the straight image she gives him.

I hope you're right smoke and mirrors. With the recent passing of prop 8, marrying right now would also be a slap in the face of the gay community, .

9:42: Fan fic BS. It looks like Reese and Naomi are talking quite nicely in one pic and Reese and Naomi have known each other for years, 2 peas in a pod. And if anyone is tagging along it would be Mama, jake and Reese are always shopping at that farmers mart or the one in Brentwood.

Take off your blinders, J&R called the paps and prolly asked Mom to tag along, when was the last time we saw Jake shopping with Mama.

Go back to WFT2 with your silly fan fic.

If anyone is needy it's Jake. Uphold the privacy of his friends my ass, where are you getting this crap from.

it may make you feel better if you think he feels sorry for her but I doubt it, the birthday pics saidit all with the stroking of the hair and hanging with RDJ.

Jake is a wimp, being dragged around by the balls by Reese and his mom

That's why I love ya, Dest.

And now time to turn in. LOL, pathetic, isn't it? I've been up since 4 and it was just absolutely the worst----aw, you know what I'm going to say. Won't say it. January will be better @ work and my crabbiness will certainly lessen. If I'm crabby, I can solely blame it on Reeke. But not crabby tonight.

Nope, not at all. Reeke still reeks. I feel like I'm watching myself & a friend out to eat or shopping when I see these 2. Even today with the big market pics.

Hey, exciting times ahead, guys. We have a new president in a few weeks and a new 1st Family. Fresh ideas. We have Austin movies to look forward to. We have peace in our homes & for the most part, our health.

I'm telling you, I'm on the prayer team for my new church and you should see the emails I get with numerous people on it every day, every other day. So many people afflicted with that dreaded C word. One minute you're going about your business, the next you get a diagnosis that changes your life forever and you wish you could just turn back the hands of time to a moment when you didn't know that diagnosis. When I read these requests for prayers for people I don't know, their stories just tear me up. And little children afflicted with terminal illnesses.

So tonight, let Reeke carry on for all they're worth. If that's the most important thing they've got going, then too bad for them.
We've got so much more. And we have a really nice community here. I thank God for it. Alot of us have never met face to face, but hey, maybe in 2009, that'll change a little bit. If the Lord is willing, in 2009, I plan to meet more of you. I. Cannot. Wait.
Special & I just had a blast. What a special (lol!) time that was; I'll treasure it forever because I had never done anything like that before. Met someone I talked to online. And didn't have a panic attack, lol.

So sweet dreams for the last time of 2008. Tomorrow will be another day and probably more coffee & shopping shots, lol. I know thinking about their pap itinerary makes me realize hey, my life isn't so boring after all.

How does all this feel Austin????

Tom, why are you asking Austin how does it feel? Austin is in the closet and don't consider himself as gay or he's straight! What was the reason for that question? Did anybody read what Austin said in that 2007 interview. If Austin is Gay, then Jake is not the only one lying.

Anonymous said...

First off, happy new year to all of you. I'm late to the party as usual.

I agree with most of the sentiments already noted. PR is definitely trying to break up OMG and WFT2. They tried hard with WFT1but failed. They have been hitting both sites hard lately, trying different tactics. A real hard last ditch effort, I think. But I also think their efforts are fruitless. Why? Look at the comments on Just Jared today. Reeke pics were posted there the last 3 days and by today the comments are 98% Jake is Gay, Reeke are fake. They are getting less supportive, not more. And even Jared, calling attention to the cucumbers, suggests Jake's interests lie elsewhere. Even he is feeling used. Most of the pap pics are not at all flattering to Reese. They find their own way to get their licks in too.

The aries (I admit I am a fellow aries with Reese) horoscope in my paper today says "a familiar solution no longer works. It's outgrown its welcome and you need to go in search of something more viable." I think we will see a change in 2009. Look at the smirk on Jake's face.

On a positive note, I am loving Jake's newly shorn face.

Smoke and mirrors posts on WFT2 and is known as the Chris troll, didn't mention Chris here because this is a Jake/Austin blog.

Pretends to have inside info but only has fan fic and spins it when they see things they don't like: The b'day pics, the RDJ pics, the pics of Mom.

And according to them Mom doesn't like Reese based on these pics, LOL!! They all look like they have gas and are pretending to be annoyed and walking behind each other, surprised they didn't walk backwards.

Reese and Naomi have known each other professionally and personally for years, I would assume they like each other since they were going to work on a film together among other things.

Funny that you claim to know what is really going on but have waited until today to post, where were you in the begginning.

Your comments are nothing more than speculation, wishful thinking and fan fic BS.

So reese tagged along, I assume she tagged along with Jake nd Rdj and his wife, whoops, that farm belongs to her!

Jake and Reese are both PR whores and if friends and family want to play along them that's better for Jake and Reese.

BTW. it's Reese that's has been distancing herself from the marriage rumors, Jake has been mute on everyrhing including Heath's death.

Your fan fic needs work.

Magie and peter you're totally wrong. I picked the name smoke and mirrors just for that post, today. I never have been to WFT2 or WFT1 either for that matter, I don't know who a Chris troll is, I don't write or read fan fic. You obviously believe the name smoke and mirrors is original, one of a kind, never been used before except only on WFT2 and of course in your small world if the term smoke and mirrors is used anywhere else then it must be the same person. Wow if you believe the term smoke and mirrors is one of a kind, no wonder you believe Jake and Reese are in love and will marry, Naomi and Reese are good friends, they are pretending to dislike each other for the paps, Reese owns the park in Ojai (where RDJ and his wife were, they were not papped at Reese's farm btw..you were confused). You are a PR spinners dream: impressionable, assuming, accusatory and gullible. Keep it up, Jake and Reese need you. Their own ranks are dropping fast. You might be their last hope.

Anonymous said...

Nice try smokey, you are not too bright. There is actual evidence that Reese and Naomi at least have a professioanl relationship, she and Ryan have since '98 when his father cast him in the movie Homegrown that also starred jake and the screenplay was by Naomi, Reese and Ryan were together a year then.

Both Reese and Naomi were attached to the Amelia Earhardt bio but WTL came along. You can google that info unlike your seculation posted here as "inside" info.

I didn't say Reese owned the park they were jogging at, but she has a ranch in Ojai and it was "reported" that all four were at her ranch at some point, you said tha Reese was tagging along today, I pointed out that she must have been tagging along over the weekend as well Jake being sorry for her and all but then that wouldn't make sense since she has property there, if anything Jake was tagging along.

I don't know what pics you were looking at but i don't see any dislike betwen Reese and Naomi, if so then she dislikes Jake as well.I did see a smirk on both Jake and Reese's faces as usual.

Take your blinders off, Jake is a PR whore like Reese, when a man beards in HW he doesn't make the rules, it's usally the other way around he needs the cover more than she does, and Mama is along to make it look legit and since it's his Mom then I would assume he asked her to tag along, you don't see Reese's Mom there do you??

Reese is doing Jake a favor IMO up to a point, that's why she has put out that she isn't ready to marry again.

You are the one that is spinning out of anger and frustration because the writing is on the wall, hs been since the begginning.

Jake's online fandom has been dying before Reese showed up, something that i'm sure he is thrilled about because you know ever since that blow-up at his father's poetry reading in NY, he was finally 'aware" what was out there.

Jake doesn't care about the online fans, just the one's that read Us and People.

Get a grip.

Correcton, Naomi was executive producer for Homegrown

destiny said...

If Jake doesn't care about the online fans, then it's just more proof how stuck in another era he has become. More and more people get their gossip online, not in the rags, especially the young demographic that movie makers prize so much. Do you really think the average 18-28 year old gets her gossip fix mainly from US and People? And do you really think she doesn't read the comments on sites like Just Jared?

Operating like it is still 1999 is going to come back to haunt Jake one of these days, be it not having fans, loss of respect, A-list directors not wanting to work with tabloid fodder........

Anonymous said...

Wow! what a day....
First, A Happy new year to all at OMG and your loved ones. I hope the new year brings you health, joy and all you wish for.

About the pics with Mamma G,:
Kiki was Jake's first beard and had Maam G's approval. Check the pics at IHJ. specially Nov 5 2004.

Reese is his second beard and also has Maama G's approval. As Tom has mentioned above she was present at the "amazing beard" interview. And we all know about that. To think that someone like Jake will embark on a bearding campaign without his family's approval is just plain silly. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Maama G & Reese had a very good understanding between them. Both are ambitious and determined women and Maama G is in financial trouble at the moment and Jake is the goose that just may lay a golden egg.

I think the family did not want to get publicly involved with the bearding. But unfortunately after more than a year, the gay rumors haven't gone away. In fact the ridicule seems to have increased. We have 2 nasty BVs from Ted and people asking why Reeke is never seen with family & friends. and WoW! just like that they appear. What is interesting is if this is a real relationship why has it taken 14 months?. and then both events just happen a few days apart. Jesus, these amazing coincidences just keep piling up!

I don't care if Jake marries Reese or not. He's a wimp who wants to get to the top but does not have the acting ability to get there. Yes, he's a good actor (sometimes) but not good enough.

The only reason Maama G has shown herself publicly with Reeke is that obviously all those photo ops, tabloid covers, sightings and whatever else that Reeke did to get themselves publicity and to make the world believe in them has not worked. So Maama G steps out to give Reeke credibility.
Things must be bad for Jake project wise.

As for Austin, who knows why he stays with Jake? If he didn't approve of all this he should leave. But as Destiny said, a 100 cool points to Austin for not bearding. For that alone I like him.

I used to say I didn't have a problem if Jake stays in the closet as long as he doesn't beard. I take that back.
I sincerely hope he will get outed by someone.

Anonymous said...

Oh, and also....all those comments about RDJ like drug addicted jailbird, closet queen/case, 2 closet cases together, sure must have struck a nerve. LOL

So, out comes Maama G to the rescue! Man this is hilarious if it wasn't so absolutely pathetic.

Destiny totally agree with you re the internet fandom.

Exactly.

This isn't even hilarious to me anymore. It's become sick. Sick as in psychologically sick. That their handlers are this obssessed as far as Jake's image is concerned, his fanbase, and I guess some of Reese's publicity. But I can't believe Reese needs all of this. No, this is for Jake's image. And this football game strategy of theirs to lurk in the opponent's locker room and plan the strategy for the weaknesses in their own gameplan is the part that is becoming sort of sick, if you ask me. All we need now is John Malkovich.

And actually, the more they keep answering our ponderings? The worst it is looking. Sure, they're losing a few along the way; just look at a couple of the comments way above when the pics first came out. I've had it. I'm done. I'm moving on. They're like a cartoon villain, getting the result that they want.

After a night's sleep, I don't feel any differently than I did except as I've just explained. This is so old Hollywood. It's become a big time warp. They have played Jake out to be a Van Johnson, without giving any respect at all to the social changes that have taken place since 1940 and 1950.

And Jake may be leading the life he really wants to lead on the side, behind the Foster Grants & tinted windows, in private, on his own private time. But his fence is getting taller and his yard is getting smaller. Before he knows it, he's going to have a moat complete with drawbridge. And for that reason, I'm feeling sympathy & I'm feeling just alot of sadness for what he is allowing to happen. These photo ops are just 1/2 here, an hour there, sure. But they're 24/7, like Destiny said. And they're ruling his life, Austin & BT or not.

prairiegirl said...

Well, had to get that out. lol.

And Happy New Year to everyone!! Slept pretty darn good last night. :)

Happy New Year, Kacieeee! Good to see you were your usual little night owl self. Did you see the new year come in?

Hey, I was watching Ted's video last night because I was wondering if he was in the office so to speak this week or on holiday. Man, that guy is darn attractive and I wish he had been standing up so I could check out those jeans. They looked pretty darn good from the knees down, lol. I wouldn't mind having a calendar with a few Ted pictures. I need a new 2009 calendar, too, can't find one I like.

Florida Tom said...

Everyone should know by this point I am a man of my word. When I say I am leaving it is Gospel. After all I have left over 57 times.

I thought Jake had some decency left because he refused to involve family memebers in his lies. I do believe that Momma G approved all along. I just thought that Jake didnt wanna use her like he did yesterday. I am sure Momma didnt have a problem with helping out. Just thought Jake was man enough and principled enough to stand his ground but I was wrong.

Jake has put his whole being into the success of PoP and it seems like like the guy would do anything to make it a success. He certainly is being loyal to his employers and the other folks that have a stake in the success of this movie. Jerry Bruckheimer is a genius. Pirates of the Carribean was amazing. But Johnny Depp made the movie. He was outstanding. There must be a lot of pressure on Jake. I can feel for him that way. Jakes family also is struggling right now and that must be added pressure.

So In one paragraph I am saying that Jake is unprincipled and the next I am saying he is loyal and doing his job. Jake took away what I saw in him that made me happy and love him. I am saddened by that loss. I know what I believe and the one thing I believe about Jake is that he is a gay man. That will never change. I am gonna continue to watch to see how he handles this and I hope in the end the light I used to see in him comes back. So I will probably leave again for about 15 minutes but visions of Special and PR Girl sitting in the chaise lounges eating their Cheese Its will give me the strength I need to to always come back.

Thanks for watching out for me yesterday Wicked. C U Sista on the 24th.

Anonymous said...

So let me see if I understand, for weeks, nay months, people complained about Jake not being in any pap pics with family members which must have meant they didn't approve of his bearding with Reese.

Now we have pap pics of Jake out with his mother and Reese and everyone is upset? Everyone thinks this is owed to Jake's publicist reading the internet about the fact that there weren't any pics of Jake with family members?

I have an idea. Why don't we all start complaining about the lack of pics of Jake and Austin together. Maybe someone will read that, take pity and throw us a bone.

I haven't had much to say about all of this, but I am saddened by it all. I'll always be a fan, because as I have said ad nauseam, his role in BBM touched me like few others have, so I think that is still there in him. I think it was the role of a lifetime as well, PG. PoP will be a fun adventure and beautiful to look at. If it is a success, perhaps it will give him more freedom, so I wish him all the best with it. Like Tom, I'm going to wait patiently until the light comes back. If he and Reese are real, then all the best to them as well, but I don't see the Romance of the Century here, I just don't. The possibility certainly does exist that it's all for show.

destiny said...

Totally agree with your posts PG and flf. I too think put Jake in the category of people I think deserve to be outed because of this charade. And I'm not just saying that because it's Jake, I feel that way about any other actor that takes the bearding to such extremes. IMO it is just as damaging as what some of those closeted politicians do. Homophobia is never going to end as long as people with power and money beard and push the idea that the only way you can get ahead is if you're straight. And that includes self-loathing gays and lesbians.

Great post by the way Special, I just now had the time to read it, between a crazy day at work, getting ready for friends to come over last night, and reading all the posts!

And thanks Wicked for your top 10 in music. I feel so out of touch with the music world lately, in part because I just find it so hard to keep up with how many new artists there are, and the loss of stores where I could listen to and buy new cds. I have only heard of one of the artists on your list, Fleet Foxes, and I have and enjoy that one, so 'm going to check out the others on your list.

destiny said...

I forgot, someone above was wondering again about Reese doing this. Well, we haven't seen her kids, now have we, even though it is the holidays and they'd be home from school. She may've had them Christmas day, but I bet you Ryan and Abbie have had them since then. Reese can't be seen wondering about by herself during the holidays.

Random observations:


Bruckheimer may have been responsible for PoC 1, but also PoC 2 and 3. Not everything he touches turns to gold.

2009 will be Austin's year. The one in the background, without a name beyond 'Jake's boyfriend', will soon come into his own. While his once overshadower has become known only as Reese's.

Ironic, ain't it?

Cool, Honeymooners is still on. Goodness, it is gorgeous outside. A little windy, but a rather balmy 34 degrees. Course, there's alot of houses & trees around to block that wind.

And after that Reeke Family Tragedy last night? Well, the sun did come up this morning. The dogs are still hungry every 5 minutes. And one leg still goes into the pants first, and then the other. The world didn't turn on its axis. The planets didn't align. Fox News & USA Today don't have the Market pictures as top story news or even Life section worthy.

And Special is still under the covers or what?????! No sign of the girl. Has anyone seen our beloved friend & webpage master?

After all I have left over 57 times.

LOLLL! That was funny, Tom. I know. I'm there with ya.

Rumor has it that Spesh is distraught with grief over yesterdays developments or of course she could be so hung over she cant get out of bed.

What yesterday's developments? Jake shopping for vegetables?

Had to take the popping champagne bottle cork outta there. I liked that picture, lol. Gonna have to keep that one. Thought I'd change the pic to one that would be a little burr in PR's butt. ;)

Oh, and m? You bet I'm reading Stranded. That one is so different and if slash can have class to it, lol, that one is it. She is an excellent writer. What was that one, m, you were telling me about that I should check out? I want to go find that one. I can't remember what it was called. I think Jack goes to live as a renter in Ennis's complex building or something, doesn't he?

Well, I'll try not to post too much, everyone. But my dogpeople won't be getting in until close to 1800 tonight, I think. So thank goodness I have my laptop with me. I'll try not to wear out my welcome and restrain myself. But just a little warning, lol....

Oh, I'm being sarcastic, LOL. A little tongue in cheek action there.

Special, did you fall into the punch bowl last night?
