"I suspect the viewer is supposed to be shocked by the casual sex and substance abuse, but my bet is the vision most audience members will find indelibly burned into their memory is that of Nichols’ hair." - Film Threat
This is from a recent review of The Informers and got me thinking. While Jake is trying to work the cunning use of hats for cover is Austin using his hair to grab the attention and the fans on screen?
Has this been Austin's plan all along? To take over Hollywood by his hair!
It started off small (that's relative) in Wimbledon.
Who remembers Betanny with this hair?
Got a little more (or was that less) hairy in Glory Road
Then Full Count/ One Mile Lenexa
But then stepped it up on JFC.
Butchie not hard to overhair.
But then taking on Luke Perry - hair icon.
Now, that took some big'ens.
But then he really upped the stakes with The Informers
Ok Billy Bob - not that tough to top.
Mickey Rourke a little more of a challenge.
But taking on Chris Isaak for hair screen supremacy?!?!?
Crazy? or Crazy like a fox.

Hey flf, you beat me to the US Reekly. I just looked at it and People while at the drugstore. Some things to add.
The US story is a two page spread, with only a box taking up maybe a quarter of the bottom of the second page about Maggie and Peter. The rest is Reeke all the way. How wonderful this topped their previous romantic trips to Italy. How Reese was the only non-family celebrity at the wedding. How Jake is so comfortable with Reese now that he even engaged in pda while his mother looked on. Reese wears the pants and will decide when they marry.
Also, Reeke is looking for a place in Philly so they can be together during her film shoot.
People has a one page article, again all about Reeke, with emphasis on the pda. Jake would "marry her tomorrow" but Reese isn't ready. Again, just a tiny box in the corner about Maggie and Peter.
Summary: Jake can't be gay because look at all the pda, in front of his mother yet, and he'd marry her in a heartbeat if only Reese were willing.
No wonder Maggie is so pissed. Jake used her wedding to once again sell the world on how "straight" he is.
Not to mention how desirable Reese is and how she is the perfect girl!
Destiny :)
Apparently Jake hasn't proposed yet. Whaaatt? I thought he had proposed like 5 times!
uh, they must have got new staff at Reeke PR...it's ok, I know it's hard to keep up with all the lies!
:-D
I also looked at EW while I was looking at all the magazines. I am really rooting for Adam Lambert on American Idol (I have never cared about who won before). So I've decided to change my avatar for the next fews.
I know he's not officially "out", but I love him for not playing the straight game or running away from the rumors by bearding up. I love him for his"unambiguously ambiguous sexuality" as EW describes him.
The article in EW, by a gay writer, is interesting.
EW
fews should be few weeks.
Interesting article about Jake, after BBM, being James Cameron's first choice for the lead in Avatar. Jake turned it down.
Shambhala SunSpaceAvatar is the story of a wounded ex-marine, thrust unwillingly into an effort to settle and exploit an exotic planet rich in bio-diversity, who eventually crosses over to lead the indigenous race in a battle for survival. (imdb)
For Destiny
"Following a performance of "Mad World" at his high school in San Diego, Adam Lambert was rushed by a girl with no shirt on who didn't care what team he's on."
Adam Lambert Stage-Rushed by Breasts on Hometown Trip/
P.S. I love Adam's laugh :)
Another reason to love Lambert, his covers of Mad World and Whole Lotta Love, giving us every inch of his love. ;)
Thanks :), that's very funny. And love his laugh too.
Destiny, I'm rooting for Adam too!
I like the way he's approaching the issue - not lying or denying it but also trying to keep the focus on his singing. I think he's a great role model. He went back to his high school as part of the AI homecoming segment and spoke about being different. Here's the link:
linkI also think its cool that girls/women are embracing him as a sex symbol despite it being fairly well known he's gay.
Austin Italy Texas
Check it out on SoGo
You think he's going now, or hint that he went? ; )
Italy Via Texas
Great link :)
Adam sure handles himself well, and that girl moved so fast, talk about going after your dreams ;)
Is it truth, what Austin's saying? That he hasn't been to Italy, which means no, he wasn't at the wedding. That he's going to be gone now and when we see pap pics of Jake in LA/NY/Philly whereever it means they aren't traveling together, aren't together. And all this talk about women. Is it truth or just more PR spin to supplement Jake's?
One thing about Austin is there is more than what is on the surface. And personally I thnk he is telling much more to this that the black and white of his words on paper or blog.
And it may be posted today, but when was it written?
What I find interesting is to see that he used the word secret twice.
The only thing I'm sad that he didn't mention. Scooters, cause I could she spending more time checking out the Vespas than the lasses.
And when did he go Scottish? : )
But a surname like Nichols he just might have born into Scottish heritage.
Thats surprising to hear about Jake turning down "Avatar". I haven't read the script so can't know for sure, but it does sound like an amazing project.
On second thought you might be right Special. A hint that he went. He doesn't say when he's leaving Texas for Italy but isn't it thought that Jake left LA, went to Texas, then onto Italy? And why this article now? Its dated today but thats when its on the blog not when it was written. Could have been written a week or two ago, easy.

I don't know if it was the story or Cameron he wasn't sure about working with. Or could have been he didn't want to do it for what they were offering to pay him. He may have wanted more. Niki Finke wrote back around that spring and summer 0f 06 that Jake was on the short list for every movie in development back then and pondering his interest in the Lance Armstrong biopic with all his choices. He seems to pick the movies he does for his own reasons.
I am always fascinated at not only the parts actors choose to do but the parts they pass on and why they did. That would be a really interesting interview with Jake.
Special, I think what surprises me is that POP seems to indication Jake was looking for a big popcorn film, and to me, Avatar seems like the more interesting of the two, although that may just be a matter of taste.
I do hope he didn't choose POP over Avatar simply because he was being offered more money for POP. In the longer term I think the quality of the films he is in will outweigh the benefits of which paid more. JMO.
"James Cameron begins principal photography on AVATAR - his first feature directorial effort since Titanic - in April 2007 for a summer 2009 release.
Just as he did with the then little known Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron wanted a new face to portray the lead, Jake Sully. Having searched around the world and screen tested a number of emerging young actors, Cameron has chosen the young Australian Sam Worthington, a rising star who has been recognized by The Australian Film Institute and The Film Critics Circle of Australia, in his homeland from such work as Somersault and Dirty Deeds. Zoe Saldana (The Terminal, Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl) will portray the local woman Jake first betrays, then loves. Both actors have signed on for possible future installments as well, as AVATAR is conceived as a potential franchise. Other casting will be announced shortly."

Maybe these writings of Austin's are what Ted meant by Toothy's never coming out as being far from over.
Mrs is now working on her post about why the Bible condemns homosexuality. She just finished her semester yesterday, so this is really the first chance she's had to work on it.
I have to admit what Austin wrote certainly sounds like the words of a straight man. What came to my mind to help calm me down is the fact how he choose Italy to say he was going off to. Maybe Austin fears that there are or may be pics that may surface of him in Italy and this little piece of literature may be a cover your ass piece of work. Could be I am wearing Specials glasses and looking for an explanation. If Austin is just shootong the shit to protect his butt then this is very close to bearding also.
Could we all have been wrong? Is Ted a damn phoney? Who the hell knows.
Austin said whistle. Not pinch.
Austin can't write about his plans to check out sexy Italian men.
To me, flagrant use of the word "beautiful" when referring to women and being overly romantic about it, even over the top in your descriptions always makes me cock an eyebrow. Austin going on about a "blonde", "tanned", "barefoot" woman with "dusty", "oily" feet and making out as if it's indicative of good ol' Texas had me cringing. And then he's off to Italy to "whistle at beautiful women". It just seems very forced and overused. Even a bit creepy. It makes him sound that much more gay, really. Jake has done this before on occasion, too. "Oh, she was beautiful", "So and so is a beautiful actress". It comes across as trying to compensate for something or come across as a red-blooded male, especially Austin. Like he can't go a day without talking about sexy, beautiful females. I think a lot of guys see it as a forgone conclusion, or don't really think about it consciously or talk it up at length - those moments do come along, of course, especially while with other guys, male friends. There's usually no need to wax poetic about it every chance you get or have a running commentary.
One of my straight friends would say something just like Austin said. He notices things about womens feet all the time.
Do I need to just start believing what I see and read. Are Jake and Austin honorable and honest men? I know what I wanna believe but what I see Jake do and Austin write are telling me I am wrong.
Funny thing there is no way in hell any of us know for sure what is going on. What if Ted does just write what people want to hear. He admitted this week he writes about the Twilight crew because it is what people want to hear. Not much about Toothy lately.
Oh man I need to go back to work. I think:-)
***Oh man I need to go back to work. I think:-)***
Yes Tom, you do need to go back to work.
Be careful what you ask for, because the Mrs will create a blog about it. Click to find her take on Biblical condemnations of homosexuality.
Here is how it is
1. Jake and Austin are honorable men and Ted is a liar.
2. Ted is an honorable man and Jake and Austin are liars.
3. Jake and Austin are Bi(which probably over 70% of men are in HW) had a fling that is long over and everyone is off the hook. Except Ted hasnt said That. Ted insists that reese is a beard and J and A have a child and are still together.
Well then 1 thing is true. Someone is a liar.
Has anyone noticed that we rarely get visited by trolls or boobleheads anymore. Kind of nice. Just us . Feels cosy:-)
Hollywood is full of closeted gays, not bisexual men.
My take on the So Go posts is that they are partly about Austin, partly story-telling. And Austin has always struck me as someone who sprinkles his speech with little affectations, so not surprised to see it in his writing. I think his references to beautiful women is just another one of those.
i think the story about the barefoot woman is all about how different Texas is from L.A., and the story wouldn't work if it was a man, or wasn't a beautiful woman all done up in a way that you wouldn't expect the feet. Bits like this to me are all about the story-telling.
And yes, it's convenient to talk about women like this, and not men. But I just get the sense that Austin probably does talk like that, probably does notice women, but all in very gay male sort of way. Heck, I can even see him having fun whistling at women in Italy. But notice he just talked about whistling, nothing more.
Austin I think is still trying to walk a line, but perhaps leaning a little more towards what he thinks his audience wants to hear in his stories--the audience being the women who watch OTH.
Don't know what to think about the when for Italy. Maybe he wasn't in Italy for the wedding, and maybe he's going to go on his own and have fun meeting people, maybe even pick up some hot Italian guys.
And now I'm off to read the Mrs' blog.
Maybe Austin wanted to experience Italy (somewhere he obviously has wanted to visit for a long time) on his own terms and not as some part of the pr circus that is Reeke. Maybe he decided not to go to the wedding because he's sick of being hidden and didn't want to be shunted off like some dirty secret once Reese turned up.
Who knows, but lets hope he has a blast. I'm sure he will.
As for the US Weekly spread, well words fail on that one don't they.

Keep fantasizing.
Keep living in denial.
Promiscuity has nothing to do with bisexuality.
Jersey Tom = Doubting Thomas
Doubting Thomas needs to hear cocks crowing!
My first name is Thomas. Doubting is my job:-) Quitting is not in my vocabulary though Ruthy. I am getting hit from all sides. Everyone is throwing punches now. Even Austin. Jake and Austin have quite an arsenal. Dont see me going away though. What the hell!
I was tempted to use us with I and me but I cant speak for everybody. So if anyone cares to read it as Us or we please fell free. LOL!
Somebody on wft2 posted the following from DL about Zachary Quinto:
He hasn't done a People cover, R5, or issued a press release but he's certainly more out than Anderson Cooper, who is constantly defended around here.
Quinto shows up at events with his boyfriend repeatedly. They don't dodge and distance themselves with each other.
Just because the press has chosen not to report doesn't mean he's in the closet.xx
Here's another from DL:
His bf is in the chorus of "Wicked". Zachary is sweet and goofy.xx
Someone else on DL said he's seen in gay clubs in NY and LA.
Of course it's DL, so take it all with a grain of salt, but interesting nonetheless.
Crazy? or Crazy like a fox..
Crazy like a fox. But I doubt he's in the henhouse very often. If anything Austin probably gets himself in the doghouse if/when he acts up.
The Rome Italy trip. Maybe if we don't see Jake for a while he's in Italy too. Chances are he and Austin don't make appointments with photographers when they travel and do things.
Like you said here the last couple days about the ENTIRE Maggie & Peter wedding party, family and guests travelling and totally being incognito, except for Reese. The cat is out of the bag with that stunt.
There's nothing exciting about Reese, nothing dirty-sexy, she doesn't attract gossip, people aren't interested in a bland HW divorced mother of 2. Without Jake there's no other way she could have been in tabloids and online sites the past 2 years, unless she did a Britney and there's no way she would tarnish her goody goody reputation doing that.
Its really sad how Jake has been used by her. Jeese might have sounded good to him at the start. Light bearding a la coffee shops, local LA day trips, stays at hotels every once in a while to keep the gay rumours off his back but Reese made it into an over-the-top command performance that only benefits her while he gets laughed at and loses fans left and right. Funny how with Reeke Jake has gotten so over-exposed and nameless/faceless at the same time.
After Italy I realized that Reese must be one fucked up person to have set up the pics. She's hooked on attention like a heroin addict. She will do anything including betraying and disrespecting people in order to get it. That's pretty sad, that she has to manufacture her life to get her jollies. What's sadder besides the people she hurts is that Jake has allowed himself to be made into a filler. I hope he gets wise soon.

reese has done nothing to help Jakes career. Except for being the laughing stock of the internet Jakes career is in the toilet. Everything right now depends on PoP of course. If it flops he goes the way of Brendan Fraser. Well at least he has the money and those precious memories of the reeke era to be proud of. Giving his fans the finger, spitting on a pap, kicking a pap, throwing eggs at a pap and how could he ever forget running his finger up the crack of the midgets ass. Oh what memories. More precious than being adored by millions of gay fans around the world and winning the admiration of his peers.
"If it flops he goes the way of Brendan Fraser."
The Mummy was BO sucess, $415 mill worldwide, but didn't help Brendan's career.

dont see PoP being the box office success that the Mummy was :-)
and how could he ever forget running his finger up the crack of the midgets assQuote of the day!
LOL Tom, Bartlett is right. Hell, it's the quote of the month. :-D
Reese & Jake definitely lie. I don't think they know what truth is anymore! Austin? he will lie if Jake asks him to. I usually take everything said with a large grain of salt. Time usually sorts the lies from the truth.
Austin's lied to get parts and about breaking his leg to keep a part. Jake doesn't need to ask him, he does it on his own.
