Don't think he likes candy? Or wouldn't steal candy of one? Heck bet he still want his own Easter basket.
So what would you put in a basket for this Texan? Yeah you could do Cactus Candy and Armadillo Dropping but that's not Easter so maybe we should go a little more traditional.
Eggs - come on that that's a given, its an Easter basket, its spring, and well its a bird thing
But what kinds? Cadbury, Reese's Peanut Butter? Chocolate? Marshmellow?
Peeps - What's an Easter basket without Peeps? Bird and Bunnies sounds familiar. Sticky and sweet... well ... ah...
Now in Laker's Colors ; )
Now in Laker's Colors ; )
Smarties - Smarties for a Smartie. We've gotten to see more of Austin through SoGo and know that these English favorites are just right to put in his basket.
Cadbury Roses - these are chocolate and English but a great representation of The Yellow Rose of Texas
Baci's - You have to include this Italian classic. Austin has talked about his appreciation for Italy. And who can not include "kisses"
But you need fruits and vegetables, you can't live on chocolate and marshmallow, so how about some peaches, fruit salad, raspberries, and you need carrots. Now you know carrots attract rabbits. And candy ones attract...
....Chocolate Rabbit. A classic in any Easter basket and you have to put one since Austin seems to be inspired by rabbits from reading his writing
You know Jake got a chocolate bunny last year, well he was walking around with it, so was it for him or for someone at home? I'd say Jake's a go for the ears kind of guy.
But there is one more thing for this Easter Basket to make it just for Austin. Let's just say its "When Lincoln meets PoP"
Now about hot cross buns..... ohhh now I'm going to get in trouble.
To all of those who are celebrating this Easter Weekend.
Wishes for a Blessed Easter.

This really made me want candy.
The "curly haired woman" is Rivka the assistant. That is Shannon in the car I just looked at the rest of the pictures. Jenny Belushi is with them at yoga too.
Makes me want candy too. And this post is really beautiful to look at too. I especially love cactus candies, they're made out of prickly pears.
Wicked, here's a link for the zombie scare ad, as people are referring to it. Zombies
And here's a link for the audition tapes for the actors used in the ads, i.e., these are not real people speaking their views.
audition clips
LOLL! This is so clever, Special. "one who goes for the ears". snicker!!!
I don't think anything beats the great colors of that candy necklace Austin has on, tho.
And those chocolate bunnies are hilarious! Where'd you find those? Those are some stout little bunnies. They have Hello Kitty heads. The Hello Kitty heads and then their tiny little ears sticking up out of them. The little one looks like he has a tie on, doesn't he? Last night at the neighborhood Hy Vee, I saw a Reese's egg with DOUBLE the peanut butter. Can you imagine? AAaargh - I wanted to buy one so bad.
Wicked, I hope Easter doesn't bring back any traumatic memories for little Karina. (or is it Carina?) Is the Easter bunny going to pay Tink & Potter a visit?
Here's Wicked sharing the story about Carina for some of those who don't know.
Carina's Story
And the organization dedicating people about bunnies and their care and also the discouraging the buying of bunnies at Easter.
Make Mine Chocolate
lol. the curly haired woman. That's how she'll be forever referred to as.
You know, I kind of wonder how much of Reese's line of work is reflected in her personal life. The parties Reeke goes to are all Hollywood related. The people Reeke have traveled with are work related: bodyguards and personal assistants. Social outings Reeke has done? With fellow actors or producers. And now people Reese has gone to yoga with are what? Work related.
Usually, people have other friends who are in totally different lines of work, besides doing some activities with work friends. Kind of funny, too, how in alot of celeb pap photos, no one is ever referred to as an aunt, uncle, cousin, grandparent, or longtime childhood friend (s). Don't celebrities ever have family reunions? Not close to aunts & uncles? Get together with cousins? You never hear about these kinds of things. When they're papped, it's always with someone "notable" or of influence. Surely, this isn't the norm.
Shannon Rotenberg is affiliated with CAA and is married to Michael Rotenberg. Shannon and Michael are involved in a lot of charites including the Children's Defense fund and H.E.A.R.T. She and Reese have mutual friends in the Belushi's among other HW types.
She and Reese became friends during CDF efforts in LA during Katrina.
Reese is part owner of Poppy's a childrens clothing store run by Belushi.
Rivka looks good for someone who just had a baby. I don't think Shannon is the same blonde that Reese appears on ocassion in pap pics where she is identified as a friend/trainer. That woman appeared to be a bit younger and a lot thinner.
Excellently well written story, Wicked.
And I, as well as Destiny, can personally attest to the, er, passion with which Carina guards her P-man. Phew! She is one smitten, jealous woman! And with great cause. Peabunny is quite the handsome, dapper fellow.
Oh, and I just love The Candy Man, by Sammy Davis, Jr.. Wow, I haven't heard that in ages. I used to have the 45 rpm, on the old MGM record label, remember those labels? His voice sounded so clear and wonderful.
dedicating -- that would be a contraction of dedicated to educating
: )
Dest, I will watch those vids when I get home.
Spesh, thanks for linking Carina's story and Make Mine Chocolate. This is not a good time of year for buns and it's great to have that reminder. I will send you a real Easter bunny picture to post for Sunday. Seeing all that candy reminded me of how much Peabunny loves marshmellow Peeps. Too much.
Seeing all that candy reminded me of how much Peabunny loves marshmellow Peeps.
And Tink loves Peeps stuffed toys.
I'm also intrigued by Austin at jury duty. It can't be a coincidence that he had it right after OTH wrapped, I bet he got called up before and gave them this week knowing that he'd be around. I was hoping for some more stories, but with all the holidays, I wouldn't be surprised if he got sprung from duty after just one day.
Picturing Peabunny eating peeps really cracks me up. Bunnies or chickies?
Candies are the best things to start a day LOL! hello you all.
"Oh, and I just love The Candy Man, by Sammy Davis, Jr.. Wow, I haven't heard that in ages. I used to have the 45 rpm, on the old MGM record label, remember those labels? His voice sounded so clear and wonderful."
Oh how agree I am !!!!!! It's one of the songs which rocked my childwood! It's incredible to hear that again, i feel a little girl , the old good time without pain and worry!!!! Thanks Special K.
Hey Austin would be soooo great in Candy man no ?
What a happy song. Why don't more artists sing feel-good songs like this once in awhile? Something corny, laughable, innocent, and good ol' leg-kicking kind of good song?
Hey Elinor!!! Good morning to you - well, I guess it's late afternoon for you, right? For once, we're on at the same time! Hey, here's another good song, don't know if you like this one or not. Who cannot feel good when they hear, "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina & the Waves?? I ask anyone that - who cannot feel good? That song is just spirit lifting, smile inducing, dance breaking, big ball of silly goofiness. I love that song.
Just got off the phone with my niece, nephew & brother. The kids are off from school, waiting for mom to be done with in-service and then they will be headed up I-35. It's my niece's bday today and her request was for me to please bring my Alf Season 1 dvd. I guess they have discovered Alf and love that show. Got season 2 now, too. I reckon that thing'll be on plenty this weekend.
It's also the home opener for the Royals today. We've had rain since last night but it seems to have ended and now the sun is coming out. A little chilly, but at least if the sun stays out, that'll be more like a baseball season opener. Oooh, it's a little chillier than I thought. 45 degrees.
A couple of other feel good, goofy smile songs, all kinds of happy:
Dancing On the Ceiling by Lionel Ritchie
Cartoons by Chris Rice
Hands on the Radio by Henry Lee Summer
Heck, even Everything is Beautiful by Ray Stevens.
Now, that one is all kinds of corny.
Defamer-Gawker posted Ted’s latest blind item and they added an ed. note mentioning Jake:
Ever since Judas Jack-Off made his smarmy debut, I do think it's fair to say Toothy Tile's [Ed. Note: 'Toothy Tile' is widely believed to be Jake Gyllenhaal] been breathing a tad easier...
Defamer-Gawker
Happy to see you Prairiegirl!
Alas , Don't know if I heard " walking on sunshine" , the title remind me something but maybe I mistake with an other song!
Nontheless I believe you when you say "That song is just spirit lifting, smile inducing, dance breaking, big ball of silly goofiness. I love that song."
It wouldn't be otherwise when you "walk on sunshine" lol
Thanks for the list above!!!
Ps: Yes it's the end of afternoon here and it's wasn't a beautifoul afternoon , I missed the spring!
Happy birthday for your niece !!
Cute, cute, cute. Our office handed out miniature baskets of candy today too. Those bunnies are adorable, just like Austin in his candy necklace. I always thought that does not look like a pap photo, but someone's personal photo, taken at a party perhaps.
I think Ted's message to the blind vicer today was meant for Toothy as well. Take heed Jake.
Picturing Peabunny eating peeps really cracks me up. Bunnies or chickies?
Chicks. The yellow ones. He ate an entire Peep, which when you're only about 6-1/2 lbs. yourself, is quite a lot. He messed up his system and had to be on an all-hay diet for a few weeks to clean him out. He was real mad about that. He hates only eating hay. He was on an all-hay diet for about 2 months because he would not stop eating dog food, which is not so great for an herbivore. But you know he thinks he's a dog.
And Tink loves Peeps stuffed toys.
I forgot all about those! I'll have to get her some. Auntie Spesh got her those last year and she tore those suckers up.
What a great post! My favorite Easter candy are the Cadbury eggs - especially the chocolate mini eggs, and always Peeps, the classic yellow chicks. :)
Happy Easter!
Awwww, poor Peabunny.
I hadn't quite thought about the warning to TT, but you're entirely right M. The one thing that gave me pause was the line about TT not panting except at the Pottery Barn. Wouldn't he be panting with the Goose??
Bold of Gawker to say that about Toothy, that is quite different than running a blind item, like Defamer used to do with the TT stories, and saying that most people are guessing Jake.
Then there's the nots, two people I've never heard of, and Taylor Kitsch. Is he in there just for the Canada connection or something else I haven't figured out, or is Ted also saying he's gay.
Not bold at all destiny. Both defammer and gawker ID'd Jake as TT way back in May/June of 2005, almost four years ago.
I know they said that back in 2005 and into 2006, I still think it is a bit different for them to id Jake as TT back then when they were running the blind items all the time and with everyone guessing Jake. It was in the air, so to speak. Saying it now like this out of the blue when there are probably new readers who don't know, and while Jake is bearding, just has a different tone to it, in my opinion.
Dear Ted:
Which couple will break up first: Toothy Tile and his beard or Toothy and his boyfriend, Grey Goose? And I don't believe Toothy is in love with Goose anymore, but it's a convenient relationship...for Toothy.
—L
Dear Chipped Tooth:
If Toothy has it both ways, then he'll have his beard for the long haul with a little Goose on the side. We don't think G.G. can up and leave him.
If Toothy has it both ways, then he'll have his beard for the long haul with a little Goose on the side.
Oh god don't tell me Ted is saying that Reeke will get married and adopt a child, which will turn out to really be BT.
"a little Goose" = BT
No, a little of the BF on the side. :(
"with a little Goose on the side. We don't think G.G. can up and leave him."
^^ Up and leave who??? OF COURSE GG can leave TT. Which makes me believe after seeing the way Ted wrote it, that Ted means "him" is little Goose, aka BT ( a boy), not Jake. Also, that GG will always have ties to TT.
"on the side" usually used for when referring to seeing someone else outside of a "primary" relationship.
"with a little Goose on the side."
"on the side": Ted could have said GG but he didn't. He said little Goose which to me could imply a child, an offspring. If BT is true, maybe its Austin's.
OTOH:
Ted could have meant sex/Austin as a little Goose on the side. "We don't think G.G. can up and leave him." Far fetched but could GG be a girl BT, named Gigi? A baby/child certainly can't up and leave on their own.
If Toothy has it both ways, then he'll have his beard for the long haul with a little Goose on the side.
Jake is bearding with Reese to help cover up his secret BT?
I hate the long haul part. I hope Jake is unhappy and his hair falls out. The pisser is in 30 years he'll write a book and blame his depressing messed up life on everyone else.
IF Toothy has it both ways, then he'll have his beard for the long haul with a little Goose on the side. We don't think G.G. can up and leave him.
Two letters make a big different.
IF
a. In the event that:
b. Granting that:
c. On the condition that:
If is not definite. If changes the tone of the whole answer and Ted knows it. But he does give hints in the rest of the sentence. Little Goose = baby tile. GG can't give up and leave =Sounds like there is a commitment.
IF: The biggest word in the English language.
Yes, things can change, someone might fall in love with Reese and want to get married. (God only knows who but stranger things have happened.)
Or if Reese is involved with her married friend/undercover lovergirl, yes the bearding could go on forever. But that's what I love about Fate and Karma and Just Desserts, you never know when they will show up and ruin Best Laid Plans' party.
To everyone in the South and Southeastern US, hope you are safe after last night's and the early morning storms and tornadoes.
Just watched that zombie video. Interesting they had to find actors to say the lines and couldn't use real people. And again the argument that giving us our rights infringes on theirs. Insupportable.
Some people will see support for their Baby Tile belief in anything. I think it's clear Ted is saying that if Jake has his way the bearding will be long-term and he will keep Austin as a bit on the side. I don't see Baby Tile in this at all.
Ted has said that there is a baby tile. He answered it with one word. Yes. There was no other spin to it. Just as Tom, he wrote the letter asking Ted the question.
August 26, 2008
Dear Ted:
Please don't be like Toothy himself when asked a tough question. Just give a simple answer. A yes or no will do. No beating around the bush or skirting the issue. Is there a Baby Tile?
—Tom, Mt. Laurel
Dear Gay Shooter:
Yes.
***
As we know, Tedspeak can have several meanings. One of which is that I take one meaning to as the bearding is going to go on long- term publicly, and he'll still be seeing Austin privately, sadly. It could refer to a little Goose as well. Ted did still use the word "beard" tho, so there is hope! :)
—L
^^ letter was from L. The L word?
WaPo Marshmallow Peep diorama contest
The way Jake's been looking in pix with the beard I can't imagine him in a LTR with her. Maybe he'll drop the Chin PR whore for another beard. He'd be wise to get a docile nearsighted one with a bad case of agoraphobia. It'll make for better eye contact and a lot of clingy PDA.
From a now defunct gossip list called the A-list, last updated 2004:
Phillippe, Ryan. Used to be gay for pay. Pot-head. Linked with Reese Witherspoon via marriage; she reportedly does not treat him well, and he returns the favor by chasing other women. Shares a hooker with Rick Fox, the husband of Vanessa Williams
Just wanted to wish everyone a happy Easter and Passover.
Your post with the candy is killing me Special. I cant eat too many sweets but I love seeing all the diff chocolate covered this and that in the stores and the pretty packaging. Easter always makes me think about coloring eggs too.
Thank you for Mr Sammy Davis Jr today too.
Wicked - The arguments against gay marriage are weak and unsubstantiated - always have been IMO.
Thanks Wicked for the Peeps Show link. I was looking for this year's this morning when I was doing the post.

You are really Trippin or Smoking something. Get a grip. The man is implying that Jake could and probably will be connected with Austin for sex on the side for some time, as people already believe. Have you not heard of these types of things. Hmmm let's think, ah, Jack and Ennis comes to mind!
Do you actually think Reese Witherspoon would put up with Jake for 2 years now and maybe more to come while hiding a baby? This would be a career disater for the both of them. Put down the weed or the pipe and come to reality.
I know a babytile thing makes you all gushy inside, but let's deal with reality, Please, Ok.
You have to remember that Ted is only giving an opinion in his answer.
Jake is the only person who knows what's going on in Jake's mind.
And nothing is ever set in stone. So many things can happen in a lifetime. Things that could change the course of their lives.
As for Austin. Why is everyone so worried about him? He's the only one of the three who looks perpetually happy. And even more then that - content.
He could certainly leave TT if he wanted to. If there is a BT, Austin could take him/her away too from Jake if he wanted to. Jake is hardly going to put up a public custody fight. Jake may have blood ties with BT but more than likely BTs blood ties are with Austin.
I was only discussing what I thought Ted meant, like we usually do. I'm not and never have tried to say my opinion is the right one. There's no way to know for sure. We all know that Ted's posts can have several meanings. One thing that did come to mind when I read this post was the expression "if I had my way" which is what you would prefer to do if you could, when Ted said "If TT has it both ways". In other words, have your cake and eat it too. Have it all. Career and relationship/family. Whatever they have decided, if anything, is agreeable to Austin, obviously. But better to be nearsighted than totally blind. JMO.
We should be able to still have discussions about what Ted writes,and everything else, and everyone gets a chance to throw their 2 cents into the pot on it, and everyone can have a opinion it and can say it freely.
I hope that we can still do that without calling people out or intimidating people from feeling they can't say what they want to say.
I have my opinion on the whole thing and I know it is different from some and guess what it's ok, I can have it and they can have theirs. And so can anyone else. But that we all have equal ground to say it.
I'm glad that people are giving all different kinds of opinions about it.
Special I hope that we can still do that without calling people out or intimidating people from feeling they can't say what they want to say.
Rude idiot at 8:53: You are really Trippin or Smoking something.
Get a grip.
Put down the weed or the pipe and come to reality.
It's rude people like that ^^ is why I used another name when I posted my opinion. No I don't smoke, take drugs and I am not delusional. What I said was my opinion. You obviously need to learn how to deal with different views without insulting people.
I'm not going to speculate on Ted's meaning today, but I did notice that the blind vice mention generated comments about Jake being Toothy across the web, so Ted is indirectly keeping the Toothy story alive even though he has no new news.
Ted made an odd comment about Taylor Kitch being taken under his wing by Hugh Jackman. My gaydar gets no pings on Kitch at all. I know he is acting in Friday Night Lights, but in the sex scenes he seems totally comfortable with women. Beyond comfortable.
Re baby tile, I remain a believer. Austin keeping his weekends private per Hilary only added to my feelings about this.
I was looking around for something totally unrelated and came across a very busy One Tree Hill Forum. Am I the last to know about it?!
Some posters at the forum met Austin. There's pics there I've never seen before but maybe I never noticed them anywhere else? OTH Forums Official Austin Nichols Photo Thread!
Special calls out a good point; one that bears repeating and needs to be kept in mind. That's what is nice & liberating about OMG. People can post their opinions; not everybody has to agree. If people believe there is a BT, fine. For the people that don't, fine. But there's no need for ridiculous & childish insults.
And, for crying out loud, people should not be afraid to put their name on something. This isn't a firing squad. The verbal slamming and outright dismissals are not from the regular majority here anyway and really are not worth great contemplation.
You know, just before I left this morning, lol, I let go with a big ol' tirade. Thank goodness I always use Preview a 1000 times because I never was happy with it. And I ended up deleting the entire thing. I think that Preview has saved me face a number of times now. Actually, I look at Preview as a therapeutic, venting kind of personal forum. As long as "Publish" isn't hit, I rant & rave all I want, get it all out, and then close with an "X".
And ag mentioned something I was thinking while at Walgreens tonight looking futilely for Sweet Tart jellybeans. There's no way Ted can predict what Jake is going to be doing 2 years from now, even 1 year from now. Heck, even Jake doesn't know. Jake could have in his head his little ideal world, but all it takes is for one thing to happen and the entire scenario changes. It's kind of hard for me to figure on what exactly Ted is saying anyway. It's like that whole answer is self-contradicting. And someone else made the valid point that I was thinking as well. I have a whole lot of thoughts on the whys and heretofore's, but it's late and I don't want to get worked up again, lol.
So many things can happen or change, though. Something like this I find difficult to believe Ted can accurately claim to foresee.
Busy night and tomorrow will be an all-day blitz. So everyone have a great Saturday and Sammy Davis Jr. has been so wonderful to enjoy today. Have absolutely loved hearing that song.
Oh!! Here's a few more feelgood songs. If you want to have a song just put a smile on your face or enjoy singing, these'll do it, too:
Day by Day from Godspell
Anywhere the Wind Blows by Southern Pacific
Bandala by the Partridge Family
'65 Love Affair by Paul Davis
Celebrate by Kool & the Gang
"that's what I love about Fate and Karma and Just Desserts, you never know when they will show up and ruin Best Laid Plans' party."
Ain't that the truth.
Late to the Ted party. I've had a long day and a long week, and I'm entirely too tired to digest it.
Jake was fine and had plenty of fans when he had a sexually ambiguous image. Maybe not mainstream fans but we all knew that would come in time. I think we can all agree that Jake 2-3 years ago was at the height of his popularity with a societal breakthru film, Oscar nom, Bafta win, sites like Jakewatch and IHJ devoted to him, (and WFT!), tons of magazine photoshoots, interviews and editorial coverage.
So what happened that generated the bearding? Some might say he wanted to move away from the gay fans but that seems rather complicated, to go thru all that when all he had to do was perform in a wider variety of roles to bring in a wider audience, and not lose the gay fans in the process, either.
Some say he does the bearding to appease Hollywood and get more roles. Which could be true. But he didn't get Moulin Rouge or Spiderman or a bunch of other film roles either, but he did get DD, MM, TDAT, Jarhead, Zodiac, etc., and that was before bearding, so what was the excuse then, for getting/not getting any of those roles?
I believe the catalyst for the bearding was BT. And no I'm not crazy. But HW might have thought Jake's idea of coming out, having a baby with a bf and being open about it, was too crazy, too extreme, that the Republican public wouldn't go for it. Remember, this was 2-3 years ago, before people like Ricky Martin, Clay Aiken, NPH etc. were out, much less had babies. 2-3 years ago compared to today was practically the dark ages concerning surrogacy and out gay actors, not to mention the idea of having a black president and Iowa being a leader in gay marriage. Who would have thought?
If Toothy has it both ways, then he'll have his beard for the long haul with a little Goose on the side.
Anyway, I think the bearding was primarily set up, by Jake himself with help from PR and Reese, to create 2 Jake entities, the public Jake and the private Jake. The public image is Jake and Reese: an innocuous, family-oriented, boring, bland couple, where there's no drama, no sex scandals, no gossip, no danger, no improper public displays of affection, no public fights, no out-of-wedlock pregnancy..it's a dull, safe and traditional coupling, acceptable to the bland movie-going public. And as long as Reeke appears in regular photo ops and doesn't make any waves, it's all good. The public will be content and since there aren't any red flags, not the least curious about the relationship.
What's most important to realize here is that the stronger the Jake and Reese coupledom public identity is, the more fortified the personal life of Jake becomes. Because the more he publicly perpetuates the Reeke role, the more he can separate his real personal life from it. He fulfills the PR photo op requirements and the public goes along with it, just another day in the life of boring Reese and Jake. No one desires any more information other than what the dull regular couple is feeding them, the public curiosity factor about them is near zilch. Which, in the long run, allows Jake to live his private life the way he sees fit. And if/when his private life is ever questioned, the public will scoff at the possibility that mainstream Jake would be gay and had a baby with mainstream Austin and that mainstream Reese would go along with it. I can hear it 10 years from now: people will say that the bf/baby story is preposterous, that it's a publicity stunt. What they won't realize is that it was Reeke that was the publicity stunt.
We don't think G.G. can up and leave him.
To me this does NOT say Austin is a doormat, just the opposite. I think it says that Jake is the one who is vulnerable, that Jake is the one who has risked himself and sacrificed more in the relationship, and despite whatever difficulties they have, Austin is committed to remaining loyal and will never abandon Jake.
Lane, most of the pics on the oth forums are from Spooky’s site (the link to the Photo Gallery is on the sidebar on ANJ). You’ll find thousands of Austin pictures there :)

I agree with everything Impressions has said.
Impressions, well said, and I agree with everything you said.
The Baby Tile treacle makes me vomit. Just MHO.
I am sick of analyzing every last word of Ted's. Ted, get back to me when you have something substantial. Because you haven't had anything really on TT in quite a while now. Sorry, but I'm tired of it. He's just trying to keep this BI alive.
