A is for Acorn

Must bow to Spooky again today as she found more clips for next week's One Tree Hill.

Please go check it out at Austin Nichols Journal

That said had to use of one screencaps, because it just made me think of one thing.


But Austin is an acorn for another reason.

Acorns appear only on adult trees, a symbol of patience and the fruition of long, hard labor. With growing numbers each fan each week on OTH, the buzz of The Informers and great praise for Prayers for Bobby (Check out the review from Variety) he is an acorn. His Variety bio - calls him a " young workhorse " and an "acting career .. on a definite forward trajectory." Is 2009 the year of the acorn?


Great oaks from little acorns grow
Is this what we will say about Austin in years to come?




Some cultures say that carrying acorns in your pockets can bring good luck, and bride have been known to have acorns sewn into their dress. Austin definitely brings the luck. Another belief is if young lovers place two acorns, representing themselves and the object of their affection, in a bowl of water in order to predict whether they have a future together; if the acorns drift towards each other they are certain to marry. Has he found his nuttin' honey?

Nice to see busy times for Austin.
This could be his year.

Sorry Special. Things will work out. You are a talented person with a heart of gold.

Sorry about the job Special. Tom is right things work out. Play the lottery if your satte has one.

destiny said...

I know how awful it must be Special, but hopefully there is a silver lining, and you'll find something that will put more of your creative talents to work.

So sorry to hear about your job loss Special. Hopefully you will be able to find another, an even better one soon.

I just love Ted. Honestly, I think it's because he is so fond of Jake that he persists in mentioning Toothy and keeps drawing the circle tighter around Jake is Toothy. Most are guessing Alec Baldwin as the other guy. Could be based on the age but is he really less famous than Toothy? I was very happy to read the Toothy is taken several times over part. Hang in there Austin. One look at Jake's face at Lakers 1 and we can see that he loves you deeply.

www.obliquity65.com has a write up about Informers today too.

Hi Spesh,

Sorry to hear about your job too, but you know this is going to lead to something even better. Take time out for yourself, this is an opportunity, and as Destiny said, you've got a lot of creative talent, my dear. :*

Great news about Austin, OTH, The Informers, and Prayers for Bobby. Cute post today. :)

destiny said...

Ted said a generation apart, wouldn't Baldwin be too old in addition to being too famous?

Why are they dressed that way when LA is having a heat wave? It was 85 yesterday. Did they shoot these awhile ago, ala Heidi and Spencer?

Florida Tom said...

Dont these two fruit loops have a coffee maker at their love nest for crying out loud? Go to Walmart for heavens sakes and buy one. If I have to I will mail them one. I am so sick of hearing about these two phonies buying coffee. Get a damn slice of pizza once in a while.

Wicked said...

I have to I will mail them one.

Send it to them in care of Evelyn, Tom. I'm sure she would appreciate it.

Dear Ted:
I can't believe I'm doing this since I usually make fun of the people who ask Toothy Tile questions. But this is driving me crazy. Was Toothy at the Golden Globes?
—Donna

Dear About 'n' Not Out:
Who wasn't?

Dear Ted:
Reese Witherspoon is the Stuart Smalley of Hollywood. She's good enough, she's smart enough and doggonit, people like her! So unlike people like Robert Downey Jr. who crashed, burned and then came back, wouldn't a scandal ruin her? Why then, would she agree to be a beard or to sleep around...both of which you've inferred she's done? What gives?
—Patricia

Dear Withering Away:
Just like you said, Reese is one smart babe. Everything she does is with a purpose, trust.

Florida Tom said...

Evelyn if your reading post where I can send the damn thing. I can get them a really nice 12 cupper for like 29.99. It has a timer and everything. I'll overnight it. Enough with the fr*gg*n coffee already.

destiny said...

ROFLMAO Tom.

The average temp. in L.A. since Sunday has been 66-85. Wondering why Jake was wearing a jacket and sweater on Sunday! Unless it was real early in the AM and cooler. These pics look like it was in the AM and they have on their "running gear".

I bet they know the people that run that place real well, free PR for the joint. Sort of like Jake being the walking billboard for Nile/Addidas.

destiny said...

Bearding for pr, sleeping around for parts now tht she's over the hill by HW standards? The person she's sleeping with is married or would be bad for pr?

Anonymous said...

Has there ever been a pair so doggone annoying? Is that their "purpose", to annoy?

destiny said...

I think they stored up some photos to release as needed. Of course it is just one more thing that screams "Jake is TT" to do so after a TT story.

Special K said...

Think that pictures have been taken in batches. Used as needed so to speak. The pictures from Ojai and the farmers market where supposed to be over the weekend, but the magical coffee cups tipped it off that it was same day just diff outfits.

Special K said...

Great minds think alike Dest.

destiny said...

Maybe the plan is to cause people to have so little interest in Jake that they won't care if he is gay or straight.

destiny said...

Yes they do Special. :-D

Tom these 2 expense account draining bitches did I say that I mean valued clients need the works. High end coffe-cappucino machine that has the packets where you can choose diffrent flavors, brew strength, froth size you name it. Full amenities not the cheap crap. Btw Jake likes lots extra cream and Reese she's into extra ice, fitting wouldn't you say. Shit I'm on the phone smoking cancer sticks like a chimmney every day busting my ass trying to get fairy gayboy Jake some straight leading man work and all he does is skip his light feet thru coffeehouses with Yellow Piss Miss. Fucking fame whores. Anyway Carrie says nothing less than a full service cappucino-coffe maker with a decorative coffeehouse street corner for ambience and a pap in the parking lot will do. Good luck finding it believe me I've tried.

So their purpose is, then, to annoy us into boredom so we'll stop poking our noses into Jake's personal life and preferences.

I buy that.

Anonymous said...

The purpose is to make Jake so boring that everyone will think, "he's gotta be str8, no self-respecting gay boy would ever be that boring!"

Special K said...

I know Austin is all about the accessories and who knows if it was wardrobe, him or losing a bet to Brooke that he had to wear the hat.

But he looks like he could breaking into song along side Christian Bale in Newsies.

"Jake your Nanny just texted me. Babys changed and fed and sleepin real quiet now and that poopy diaper mess with your vomit and the carpet is all cleaned up so you can go back in your house now. Besides I dunno whats going on with Evelyn bad enough I couldn't get my extra cup of ice but she said she's only payin for 11 pics this time so looks like we is finished. See ya."

Cos all the straight actors can be sex addict druggy serial dating cheating STD spreading hos and people accept it because you know, its just normal red-blooded American horny males fucking all the girls they can get but an actor being monogomous and having gay sex GAY SEX, holy crap something's wrong with him.

Florida Tom said...

I read a lot this week that is meaningful and it has nothing to do with PR lies. I read that Rufus said it is a disaster for a actor to be gay. Rufus has one male actor freind. Now I just read that the first person James Schamus called when he heard Heath died was Jake. I imagine there was some wailing on both sides of the phone. I am tired of looking at phony photo ops that try to make Jake look str8. I am now looking for meaningful statements like the two I mentioned. The photo ops serve a purpose. They dont tell the truth. Jake and reese have a partnership which is designed to better both of their careers. How long Jake can take it I dont know. I am not trying to trash mouth Jake but my gut feeling is that he is not emotionally strong enough to deal with this much longer. Hopefully he has some really good support to help him through this. I think the support he needs the most is not by his side everyday and that has got to be very hard.

london tb said...

Tom, I don't think he's strong enough either - I don't like to see his expression lately.

Sending fondest hugs and commiserations to Spesh
(((Special K))) ...

Thank you for a great Austin Friday post *

About his experience with parenthood, he said, “I was involved from day one in the pregnancy and I was there when my sons were born. It was beautiful. There were tears of joy and it was really fascinating. I was sweating the first time I held them because I was so nervous!”

^^ Ricky Martin quote. (in Jared). Not Jake or Austin. Will never be Jake or Austin. Cowards.

Bet Reeke will be in Ojai this w/e for another post-Ted photo op?

Anonymous said...

Austin x 3 next week. One Tree Hill, The Informers,Prayers for Bobby. Can't wait.

Florida Tom said...

Its nice that Ricky has shared his happiness about his kids with us but I dont remember Ricky coming out either and I believe he is gay. So where is the courage there.

If Jake and Austin do share a kid I agree it makes this sham a lot worse in my mind. Make an honest living with your family by your side. Fame and money is hard to resist. Seeing Jake hauling his Mom around with his beard was tough to take. Maybe Jake and Austin just think they can have it all and lying to the public means nothing to them. Maybe they are right but something has to give sooner or later. Much too tough living a lie as big as this forever.

destiny said...

LOL. Thanks for all the laughs, need something to warm up my cold ass; I'm on a retreat in the catskills and the hotel, boiler conked out last night; they got it fixed, but ut is still like ice, and close to o out.

That cap is not the best thing I've seen on Austin, and not a good color on hiim either. Maybe he did lose a bet. And I don't think he'll be walking off with that one.

Agree with you london and tom.

Anonymous said...

I was think we should give Austin a pass, innocent until proven guilty and all that. With Jake, you could think that he's doing all this to protect what's most important to him, Austin and a gosling (if BT, and that's a big if, exists). Whatever, having a successful career (which allows him to make lots of money) could also be seen as protecting Austin and their family, let's be honest, that quirky clothing collection ain't going to be cheap.

It also looks like those coffee pics are, shall we say, library photos, so we'll see what appears (from Ojai or otherwise) tomorrow.

Anonymous said...

Post-Ted photo op. Who knew that was coming.

Reeke holding cups, phone, and car clicker. Busy hands.

Coffee going walking Reeke can smile for 1-5 paps 10-20 feet away but runs away from and trys to run over 10 paps at a CAA industry function. Wtf? Jekyl and Hyde.

I can understand no Jake papped with Austin but no papped regularly with directors, Atticus, other friends male and female, family, running only not biking? RDJ..you just know priss Reese was happy about that.

Still think Reeke photo op blitz last 3 weeks had something to do with Ryan P and Abbie but that Reese miscalculated and shot off prematuraly. Maybe R&P are getting smarter in the game.

Maybe James Schamus was wailing because he could't reach Jake literally or figurativelly. Too busy planning the next Reeke in the Park to care.

chris, ITA. Seemed that the whole Reeke Chirstmas blitzkreig was to counteract a Ryan - Abbie wedding, which may have happened but those two (Ryan & Abbie) are too classy to spread it across the tabs. It probably also had something to do with a Reese / jennifer aniston stand off regarding Christmas box-office numbers (sorry Reese, Jennifer won hands down on that one).
whatever the reason, the overkill has definately weakened the brand of Gyllenspoon, Jake really needs to wisen up soon before he really is a 'whatever happened to'.

I sure hope Ted is right about Reeke "withering" - on the vine.

As in H'wood and Vine.

I have already lost interest in the jogging/coffee/shopping photo ops. All their photo ops are plain boring and so fake. But I'll never lose interest in TT or GG or what Ted has to say about them. And I'll always check up on this site.

Incredible song today - very, very bluesy. :(

flf it looks like they couldn't pay anyone enough like Just Jared or Gyllenspoon standbys Gossip Girls/Pop Sugar to run this last coffee op. Didn't get picked up by anyone but IHJ.

so boring.. popsugar did pick it up, but that in itself says all you need to know about reeke doesn't it. jakey, what has become of you, good only for being cheap filler on popsugar.

and he could have been a contender.

Music lovah, this is from Nick Drake's record Family Tree. Definitely worth listening to the sound samples and picking out some songs. Heath really loved Nick Drake and did a video to one of his songs.

too bad Jake didnt pair up with somebody on J-Date. Some of my friends have had amszing computer generated hook-ups resulting in solid relationships. haha a computer prob would have set him up with Austin -

oh by the by the Nick Drake song is lovely -

Thanks Wicked - I will definitely check out Family Tree. This song is very haunting.

Hang in there Special. I have a feeling this year will be a little better for us all.

Chris, I work at home too so my laptop is on mute most of the day. When I do get to hear the music its a real treat.

I'm done with Reeke - photos and all.

I love Austin in that hat. Reminds me of Scudder in Maurice.

Hope PG is ok : /

Florida Tom said...

Hi Chris. Hi Clarity. Great to see you guys posting again. Everyone hates reeke. Jakes gay godfathers refused to be papped with them. Plus they hate coffee anyway.

PG phone home................

Man I hate winter it is 7 degrees in Phila. today and I have a killer cold. Called in sick. What a bad start to 2009. I hope Clarity is right and things will get better.
