Yeah sure .....
What?!?
Oh............... damn it.
Now its you're turn - whaddya got?
OMG Season of Sharing
It's better than a Unicorn - it's UNICEF
UNICEF
Some of you may know UNICEF from the little orange boxes at from Halloween, but it'ss so much more. Created by the United Nations General Assembly on December 11, 1946, to provide emergency food and healthcare to children in countries that had been devastated by World War II UNICEF became a permanent part of the United Nations System in 1953.
It relies on contributions from governments and private donors and UNICEF's total income for 2006 was $2,781,000,000. Governments contribute two thirds of the organization's resources; private groups and some 6 million individuals contribute the rest through the National Committees.UNICEF's mission is to provide special protection for the most disadvantaged children: victims of war, disasters, extreme poverty, all forms of violence and exploitation, and those with disabilities. Their work aims to fulfill their basic needs and restore their dignity.
One of UNICEF's most famous Goodwill Ambassadors was the legendary screen actress Audrey Hepburn. Today the International Goodwill Ambassadors include: Amitabh Bachchan, Berliner Philharmoniker,Roger Federer, Ricky Martin, Shakira Mebarak, Lord Richard Attenborough, David Beckham, Harry Belafonte, Jackie Chan, Judy Collins, Mia Farrow, Danny Glover, Whoopi Goldberg, Angélique Kidjo, Johann Olav Koss, Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, Femi Kuti, Leon Lai, Lang Lang, Jessica Lange, Sir Roger Moore, Nana Mouskouri, Youssou N'Dour, Vanessa Redgrave, Sebastião Salgado, Susan Sarandon, Vendela Thommessen, Maxim Vengerov
Did Wicked ever say what she thought about Jake screwing around with another guy while Austin is with the baby? She said she had some thoughts on it but would let it rest in her mind for a few days before commenting on it. I think it's pretty obvious that he's one of those men who likes the idea of children right up to the point where he actually has some and realises just how much work they are. I remember thinking that when he said that it was the man's job to find the best "mother" for the child. He obviously has the old fashioned view that the "mother" is the one who raises the child, and the father can go off and do his own thing, so Austin acts as the "mother" while Jake is off earning the big money, getting PR pictures with the beard and having another secret boy toy on the side. I guess it works, and they may both be happy with it, but I can't help thinking that Austin does not want his man with another man.
ReplyDeleteJust an FYI -
ReplyDeleteOne Tree Hill will resume on January 5th.
Check out Spooky's for the promo.
And with some quick eyes you can catch Austin.
Who has the baby? Who's to say Austin has always had the baby. No one can assume.
ReplyDeleteJake might be working long days, but again the baby might have been over in England for at least part of the time. He was pretty adamant about security and housing requests. While he's been there.
Both of them are away from LA which is easier to keep them out of sight. It has been until recently that they were not shooting at the same time, so I think that they are looked at sharing the responsibilities.
I'm not condoning or condemning behaviors of the BV - cause that's between them. They have to deal with that in their relationship.
I've not seen that 3rd picture before. Is that the one everybody's been talking about taken at the fountain because Jake's sure not paying any attention to who he's with. lol.
ReplyDeleteCountdown to Jake's birthday! We shall see what we shall see. Not predicting anything, not daring anything.
Kacie, you must just be pluggin' right along at work, huh gal? We are not hearing no hide nor hair outta you, lol.
Special, I'm with you. I thought I was moving right along with my gift shopping, but panic mode is starting to set in. We are in a countdown now and I'm on the short end of the stick. I'm blaming it on Thanksgiving coming so late this year. Sounds like as good a reason as any.
Everyone have a great afternoon. Love the horse pictures. Man, remember that? 2008 has been quite the year for this young man who is staring 30 right in the face. Wonder if men stare down milestone ages like 20, 30, 40, & 50? Or do those numbers get to them like alot of women? It took me 2 years to get over turning 40. I'm not kidding. It was traumatic. Just the fact that it threw me into a different survey age bracket was enough to make me want to run screaming. lol.
Oh well. Over it now. Sort of.
;)
A picture of Austin with a baby would go a long way to making people less skeptical. Or a mention from a colleague on OTH of A and a baby. Why haven't either of these happened?
ReplyDeleteFunny post today Special, and I agree with everything you said about the baby and sharing responsibilities. For one thing, if the baby was born in the fall, Jake was not working at that time, and it is very likely that Jake was taking care of him/her while Austin was filming in Uruguay.
ReplyDeleteLOL! I haven't seen the third picture before. Jake is totally checking out the hot guy who looks a lot like Austin. Missing someone from back home?
ReplyDeleteWhat if the guy was hired to be in the pictures (there are 2 at IHJ with the mec).
ReplyDelete1. hired by paparazzi, to spice up their frame and Jake-is-gay rumors;
2. hired by PR; PR reasons are to cater to Jake's gay fans.
So the PR called the paparazzi to the location (Jardin du Luxembourg), and paparazzi had a deal to make a model appear in the frame.
3. hired by Reese; she likes to touch Jake blue-jeans's back pockets; "his ass is mine" she seems to say. What if Reese is the mastermind?
Hey hopeful tb - good to see you again!
ReplyDeleteHey, nice to be back special! I've been traveling and lurking. Loved the Christmas gift post and the Austin Nichols belt buckle.
ReplyDeleteAlso happy belated birthday wicked :)
LOL another hopeful: I'm all for PR hiring honey traps for Jake, it would at least make Reeking interesting.
The only thing that would make the garden picture more fun is if jake's tongue was hanging out. He is practically drooling. And the guy does have an Austin quality about him. Chris and Matt Katz, who I think were lovers pre Austin, were similar looking to each other too, but not to Austin. Didn't someone say Jake stopped in his tracks when he first saw Austin. So happy you posted this picture again. I know it's on IHJ but I did not want to go searching for it. Ted said Toothy will be Toothy and this pic proves it. I bet the pap saw even more.
ReplyDeleteThat picture deserves this song played ... man if I had remembered it this morning.
ReplyDeleteMissing Persons - 'I Like Boys'
I just love Toothy. *Sigh*
ReplyDeleteIf Ted's BIs are all true, then what you have is a couple in a closeted relationship, hiding a child, while one partner both beards and cheats. Even if the other partner agreed to the bearding and the cheating, there would have to be significant psychological fallout on both parties from this kind of behavior.
ReplyDeleteI still don't believe everything Ted says is true and I don't believe Baby Tile for a nanosecond. My opinion of this Blind Vice is that I am very, very glad this is not my life and I really hope it's not Jake and Austin's either.
I totally agree with Wicked. I cant even fathom something as crazy as this. I wouldn’t wish that situation on my worst enemy.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree with Clarity & Wicked. As for baby tile, I think it was more Jake rather than Austin who wanted a child. JMO. Whether the baby turned out to be Austin's and Jake lost interest, I don't know.....
ReplyDeleteTed has sure stirred the pot with this one!
Well, I agree with Spesh - I neither condemn nor condone it - it's their relationship and their life if it's true. I live my life my way, others live theirs their way. There's no right or wrong, just how someone wants to live their life. If one party or the other is unhappy, it's up to them to fix it. I wouldn't want anyone gettin' all up in my bizness, and give the same courtesy to others, as long as noone is getting hurt or breaking the law, and it concerns consenting adults. I despise that, even more than I despise pie-in-the-sky happy ever after stories which cannot possibily be true when two imperfect human beings are involved. I don't know if any of Ted TT tales are true; I don't know where to draw the line on which stories are true and which ones are not. Baby? Bigwigs? Domestic Partnership and/or Confidentiality Agmts? Who knows? As always, I'll wait to see what happens.
ReplyDeleteI neither condemn nor condone it - it's their relationship and their life if it's true.
ReplyDeleteEveryone makes their own choices in relationships. Doesn't mean all those choices are good ones, though. If all of these BIs are true, then J&A will have to live with the consequences and that would be their decision. And I do really have to wonder how some of these alleged choices would affect them psychologically.
OK here's another thought....
ReplyDeleteA few months ago Ted was saying that "sources close" were saying that Reese and Ryan were trying to get back together. Looking back now, seems like it was all crap. planted by Reese's PR?
Well, how do we know this is not "some guy" feeding crap to Ted to break up the Jaustin fanbase? I mean if that happened Reeke PR would be grinning right?
Time will tell.......as always :)
IMO the closeting and bearding are what are destructive to self esteem and relationships. I think an open relationship in of itself can work, and often do for gay men in particular. But it's no accident that when you hear about closeted stars it is rarely about someone who has been in a long, committed relationship. And of course that is what always made Toothy so different from the beginning. But ever since Jake started the hard-core bearding and deep closeting I've been telling myself it will be a miracle if their relationship survives it.
ReplyDeleteAdding the open relationship on top of that of course provides more opportunities to realize that you may be missing something in your own relationship. But again that has been on my mind since the bearding and closeting began, and I think that the real danger to the relationship would be that friend who will go with you to restaurants, Lakers games, etc., when your boyfriend won't be seen with you in public, not the hookup.
Your post Wicked did make me think of something I hadn't considered before about the latest BV. Here's Jake avoiding being seen with Austin at all costs, but meanwhile he is engaging in behavior with other men (if Ted is right) that puts him at even more risk of being outed. For me that would be the real rub of the situation.
I'd had that thought too flf.

ReplyDeleteI really like today's song, it's not one I've heard before.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorely disappointed that Obama has asked Rick Warren to say a prayer at the inauguration. At a moment when Obama should be celebrating inclusiveness I feel like it is a real slap to the LGBT community to give a role like that to someone who has been so vocal in opposing gay marriage and has otherwise been on the wrong side of gay right.
Rick Warren controvery
update cheer up, no need to comb through stuff to figure out Jake's parenting skills and philosophy ... Ted's stories for all we know could be bs, starting from the silly BT one. Where is the child, come on, no one on earth has seen it?
ReplyDeleteThere's a new interview with Austin here.
ReplyDeleteOr you can read it at Austin Media, if you prefer.
It's mostly about OTH, but there are some quirky!Austin gems. Like how, if he wrote a script for OTH, it would be too weird for them to film. Heh.
Sorry, the link to the interview is here.
ReplyDeleteWhy would Ted push such a bizarre story so hard if it's untrue.
ReplyDeleteIs he deluded or lying? I don't believe he's stupid.
Cute interview, thanks for the link hjulia! Austin always manages to tell the same things in a different way to keep his interviews interesting. Although I notice he always stresses how he's surrounded by beautiful women. Good thinking, we might think he was gay if he didn't ;)
ReplyDeleteI love that he's a Gus Van Sant fan. I would love to see Austin in a Van Sant project. Or any good project, because I (again)get the impression that he doesn't think OTH is a very exciting project.
The Reese/Ryan getting back together was reported by Ted backin Aug. 07, and his source was a 2 week old NY Post story and that was based on a sighting of them in some gym they were both memebers of still at the time. They were friendy and had lunch and viola, getting back rumors.
ReplyDeleteWhat Ted left out from that NY Post story was that it was denied by Ryan's rep and a day or so later Reese and the kids were spotted onMV while Jake and his family was there.
Ted an other gossip columnists are fed BS all the time, even if they know it's bs they still push it and why not, thye don't have to prove anything do they?
The Reese/Ryan getting back together was reported by Ted backin Aug. 07
ReplyDeleteNo, Ted reported what his sources told him about getting back together and mentioned Page Six.
And as you may have heard from my canoodling colleagues at Page Six, the rumors are certainly out there that the blondie exes are, perhaps, trying their hands at reconciliation.
Rang up some mutual buds R and I have. Was adamantly told by one amiga: “100 percent not true,” about the possible reunion stuff. But I must tell you, this close Witherspoon camper was the only direct dissenter I could find to the going-it-again talk. Others also quite gabby with R and R told me: “Reese and Ryan have been secretly dating and working through problems they should have worked out before they broke up,” one R2 hanger-on whispered to moi. “They go through a lot of trouble to make sure they aren't seen together on dates.”
Blog,
ReplyDeleteTed didn't turn Jake gay and you can't turn him straight.
If that didn't appear in the NY Post, Ted would have never reported on it. He had no choice but to source the Post because it was too obvious. No one from either Rese nor Ryan's camp contacted him, like they would contact him regarding anything (eyes roll). He made it up because a certain segment of his "readers" were pissed about Jake and Reese, the fact that he didn't mention Abby whom Ryan was with at the time speaks volumns.
ReplyDeleteSince he did n't see pap pics of Ryan and Abby at the time he had no idea they were together, so much for inside info, because if he did have a source her name would have popped up.
He would have also known that Reese took he kids to MV which took place around the same time.
He tried to make some people feel better even if it meant lying about Ryan and Reese and you suck it up anyway.
Blogg Troll,
ReplyDeletewhat's the point of the rubbish you're posting?
DL gossip:
ReplyDelete"I can't comment on Jake (personally) one way or the other. I can say that there were rumors about Jake here when Donnie Darko came out eons ago.
However, one of them was simply a sighting which could have been anyone of him at a Pride rally. The original poster never went into detail. The second one (and the most persistent) involved him him and Anna Wintour's son. This rumor was proven false when one poster here actually did the research and found out the Jake and the son would have never been been at school together at Columbia.
Other than that, most of us at the time were too wrapped up in September 11th at the time of the film's release. Following that there was never any reason to discuss him except to make fun of The Day After Tomorrow and Proof."
Destiny - The song was from Bowie's Heathen CD - the whole CD is great - it came out back in 02.
ReplyDeleteHow often is Austin papped? Only with Jake.
ReplyDeleteThis year? Not at all. All pictures are on-set so he could have a hypothetical baby stashed somewhere.
Nice to see Ellen and Portia make this list. Too bad Reeke's on there too.
