"I do this much better at home"

Back home and looking happy and ready to get something cooking....


Hey there...


I got everything to make dinner.
Should I pick something up for dessert?


Oh, I don't have to worry about that?



Video rewind : Jake showing off those cooking skills

I can't believe this review for the new Star Trek movie. Didn't realize Bruce Greenwood (Mitch Yost from JFC) would be in it.

Page Six said...

ZACHARY Quinto, who plays Spock in the new "Star Trek" film, "couldn't train his fingers to do the 'live long and prosper' Vulcan salute," a source says. When tying rubber bands around his fingers didn't work, fed-up director J.J. Abrams "glued Zachary's fingers together during filming."

Florida Tom said...

I would love to see Ellen do an in depth interview with Jake about his relationship with reese and about his sexuality. What are the odds of this happening?

:) said...

Very slim.

I don't think Ellen would ask about gay rumors and there is no reason to discuss the "relationship" in depth when you're promoting a movie.

destiny said...

I cannot wait to see Star Trek, I've had a good feeling about it from the trailers, and now it looks like the good reviews are rolling in.

And I've got my eye on Quinto since everyone thinks he is the subject of one of Ted's blind items, I'm hoping we're finally going to see a big franchise star who doesn't feel the need to lie to his fans by trotting around with a beard.

Wicked said...

***And I've got my eye on Quinto since everyone thinks he is the subject of one of Ted's blind items***

Which BI is it?

charybdis said...

Wicked, I think the assumption is that Quinto is No-Beave Steve.

These new Jake photos are awesome, by the way, and well worth a dedicated post.

straight talk said...

Jake's next round of actual, serious, can't-get-out-of promotional interviews are going to be very interesting; I honestly can't wait to hear what he's rehearsed - I mean, what he truthfully has to say. You know, I used to find his vague, metaphorical way of speaking quite charming (until the infamous GQ interview, honestly), but reading those quotes from David Ogden Stiers in the previous post makes me realise that honest, concise, straight-ahead talk has much more impact and is much more admirable. Especially when it comes to these issues. I doubt we'll get it, though.

prairiegirl said...

Smiley, unless you are indeed the host of that blog, can you honestly say that you've seen every deleted comment before it was deleted? I vividly recall one poster who said that there was nothing profane or abusive about their comment but because it went against the grain, it was deleted. And I'm not saying it happens all the time; it has happened, though.

I do not want to get into another one of those endless, unproductive conversations about deletions, insults, and hurt feelings; that's not the point I was trying to make anyway. This was just a side note of something I've noticed. Besides, if one wants to get into it about hateful comments, then why not delete all of those comments that bash Austin? What's the drawing line as far as "hateful", anyway? Is it profanity? Is it simply namecalling? Is it slurs of any kind? Is it ridiculing comments about someone's clothing or hairstyle?

:) said...

can you honestly say that you've seen every deleted comment before it was deleted/

No and I don't care about them.

The point is very simple - blog owner has to decide what's acceptable and blog owner can't please everyone.

prairiegirl said...

Hey, great song by the way. I have a feeling if I were to listen to a whole cd of Jr. Walker & the All Stars, I'd probably like just about all the songs.

Wicked said:
Every blog is different and what is okay on one is not going to work for another. Let each blog do things the way they want to.Yup, fully agree. Just doesn't mean I have to like it. And if I choose not to like it, then I should choose to either leave it or no longer participate in it. And if I do so, then I have no one else to blame but myself. I just wanted to state some feelings I had about what I'd been reading.

Like I said in my post, my comments were my own and not any reflection of anyone here. You & Special have been total class the entire time, giving credit due to everyone with the utmost graciousness.
***I think Austin was at Maggie & Peter's wedding.***

I hope he was not. I think it's awful if he was. To attend the family wedding and then have to stay out of sight while your boyfriend cavorts with his fake girlfriend? Too sad for all participants if true.
It is sad in that regard of having to be hidden; I don't disagree with that. I just think that he was there. This, too, was just a statement in response to ridicule I'd read elsewhere.

prairiegirl said...

Okay, I agree with that, Smiley. But that's not what you said this morning. I believe the question to me was Did I not think that hateful comments shouldn't be deleted? So, I took that to mean that your belief was that they should be which led me to conclude that you'd seen every one that had been deleted and that each one was hateful.

Sure; whoever's blog it is, they are the Kingpin, the Queen Bee, the big Kahuna. I don't disagree with that. And as for agreeing with it or disagreeing with it, see my response to Wicked up above.

Special K said...

About the pictures. Not a lot of groceries, maybe dinner or game food for two and sofa side seating for last night's Lakers' playoff game. (I don't think it was red wine and cookies LOL )

I just can't resist Jake with such a genuine grin for a post.

Special K said...

And I'm going to stir it I know by saying I too see something lumpy but kind of round, under that black t-shirt. ; )

prairiegirl said...

LOLLL! Man, I expected to get hit with all kinds of slams from that blog, instead I'm getting crit from my own clan.

Criminetley's. Goes to show, don't it? That's alright, I'm okay. I'll take it and I don't have any misgivings whatsoever about what I said and I'll defend it all I can & not change my mind.

I also don't see any way for Jake to come out after all of this, which means Austin can't come out either as long as he's with Jake. The best we can hope for is Jake going back to being "single", but I'm still expecting that engagement and a weddingI don't see any way for him to come out either; and right, if he doesn't, then Austin doesn't. Not that I don't think he himself could change his mind. But the General herself wouldn't stand for it. And she seems to rule, doesn't she? Everyone bows to her? She's the Queen Bee? Boy, I'd love to pit her against our Big Boss in a ring. Lol, I'd love to see who'd come out on top. Both ladies have a way of making the men quake in their boots, never seen anything like it.

Special, those pictures are good. He can rock a tight T shirt like nobody's business. I see something, too, under that shirt, besides some nice pecs.

Okay, I've gotta go. Got a mountain of work waiting. Hey, at least we've got some talking going on. Although I can't say anything productive about Star Trek because I can't stand that show, never watched it. But I'm in the minority on that; it's a classic. I'm just not a science fiction fan, that's all. Glad you guys have a movie to really look forward to. Talk to you later.

Special K said...

Count me as one who can't wait to see Star Trek. The Boston Globe gave it is 4 stars and called it the best prequel ever.

destiny said...

Looks like something round to me too Special.

:) said...

I believe the question to me was Did I not think that hateful comments shouldn't be deleted?/

Yes, you're right. I wanted to make a point because I couldn't believe that you think nothing should be deleted ("And that is as censoring as DC Forum is, I don't care how you spin it.")

destiny said...

No-Beave SteveOne of the best blind vice names ever.

Florida Tom said...

Yeah I see that round thing to. Looks like the same type of band Austin was wearing at that concert last summer. Could those two rings or bands mean something.

Wicked said...

***The Boston Globe gave it is 4 stars and called it the best prequel ever.***

Wow!


***No-Beave SteveOne of the best blind vice names ever.***

ITA.

Wicked said...

Moms trust Ellen with their Kids

prairiegirl said...

Yes, you're right. I wanted to make a point because I couldn't believe that you think nothing should be deleted Well, I could've phrased it better, let's put it that way.
and not only that, but if something is said that really doesn't please, despite no valid reason to do so, it is deletedBut, come on, smiley, you've been around long enough to know at least how I feel about cussin'and namecalling. What I should've said was if you say something that doesn't follow a certain line of thinking. You think I'm going to be happy over a comment that's loaded with f-bombs and c-bombs and m-bombs? Geez, you've got to have a better feel for me than that or else I must come across as a real jerk.

Meg said...

Love the post Special, you, and this blog, are totally brill. Keep it up.

:) said...

I respect your opinion. The problem is that other posters have other opinions - no one can please everyone.

london tb said...

Hello again after three days off the interweb and a long catch-up ... I was in Italy too (not Puglia).

Have been enjoying your work, Meg :)

Meg the sceptic said...

although i really like your post special, I have to say that jake is really rocking the man boobs in these pics. steroids anyone!

(I know you don't go with this special, but to me, Jake is seriously rocking the roids. (Looking at the evidence, Irrational anger: kick and spit / bloating / (slight) male pattern hair loss). I'm happy to be persuaded otherwise).

Meg said...

Hey London, works fine thanks, if a tad dull a the moment.

just want to add, even if Jake is seriously rocking roids, he still looks seriously cute in the last set of pics on ihj.

london tb said...

I mean your work on the threads ;)

Meg said...

thanks London, however, feeling everyhing's been a bit dull recently, your pic of Austin sort of perks things up though.

Special K said...

Meg - look at yesterday's post and the picture of Jake at the beach, and that was almost 3 years ago and he's a healthy C there. : )

Florida Tom said...

There is no doubt in my mind Jake would do roids to help his career. No doubt at all.

Special K said...

I think that Jake has definitely grown and changed over the years. And sorry men change and thicken in their mid to late twenties into their thirties.

Jake can appear thick, with just a a pound or two because he has a short torso. And if you look at other angles of him in Paps photos, he looks thinner in the very same week.

I don't think its roids.

The hat for me are about sun exposure and skin cancer, Jake is fair and has moles, and any dermatologist would say to he does have greater risk. He is also more covered up on his arms as well lately. He might have gotten a reminder or a scare from the doc after his prolonged exposure in Morocco.

Just my thoughts.

Meg said...

Actually agree with you Special regarding the hat. the more he wears it, the more I think it to do with sun protection. Being really lucky, due to family background etc, I don't have to worry about the sun and just enjoy getting as 'brown as a nut' as they say. however, i do have friends that have serious problems with moles and skin pre-cancer growths, so i realise how serious some people take protection from the sun. Seeing the recent pics of jake, you can see that the sun has obviously played seriously damage to his skin and that he's really worried about what it will do in the futre. You've got to feel sorry for him because it must be a real pain, especially if you live in southern california.

lane said...

Can't speak for Jake (obviously) but I take a medication (antidepressant) that causes sun sensitivity and I live in Southern California. Every day I have to wear sunblock spf 60 on all exposed body areas and on my face and neck and I try to wear hats when I can, or else I get burned within 10 minutes of being outside. And I mean BURNED. But my skin being super sensitive to the sun is a small price to pay for being happier!

photo op said...

New IHJ pics "J&R leaving R&D Kitchen in LA". 2 pics (so far) of Reeke, 4 of Jake alone. And wouldn't you know it the necklaces are still there but no ring is visible. Neither looks happy (whats new) but look at all the paps..someone called them. I can't imagine paps getting that excited about Reeke walking out of a store or restaurant or whatever the hell it is. C'mon lets get real.

Unused Minutes said...

Strange, did Reeke walk separately or did Jake come out in the middle of lunch to feed the meter? Even the caption "Leaving' - why would Jake be at the meter if he was leaving, was he trying to get his unused quarter back? LOL.

It looks like he's shaking hands and smiling with the guy and the guy is holding something like a script or contract, something papery. After that Jake's smile disappears and its onto Glum City in Withersmile County.

flf said...

I don't think Jake wears a hat because of the sun, more to associate himself with A-list stars like Brad Pitt and Jackman and look like an 'it' boy when in reality he's B-list at best.

Regarding the Heath Vs Austin comments, I think most times this is done deliberately to stir the pot and generate a topic for conversation on slow news days. If you read the comments, it's the same old crap over and over again.

Florida Tom said...

Hat or no hat. Glum or smiling. Roids or no roids. Jake will be Mr. Witherspoon by Memorial Day 2010.

Sad but true said...

"Jake will be Mr. Witherspoon by Memorial Day 2010."

While sad and revolting, I agree, Jake will be Mr.Witherspoon soon. I also think that if POP fails, he'll be divorced within a year and it will be totally his fault and have his career ruined by Witherbeard. She would never be divorced a second time and not look like some kind of saint that only a crazy man would leave.

flf said...

IA. Witherbeard will never marry again to be divorced a second time when her image is based on squeaky clean Reese, best mom in the world.

Don't know if I mentioned this earlier, I watched (yeah, I know! but I was on my exercise bike and TV was crap that day!) a bio of Reese on E!news a few days back. And Jake was promoted as an old friend of Ryan's. In it there is a young Jake saying his family knew Ryan's family and how happy he was for Ryan & Reese!! This was when she was expecting Ava and before they got married.

So by saying Jake is a friend of Ryan's the implication was, imo, Jake knew what happened for the marriage to fail and he still hooked up with Reese which means....it's all Ryan's fault! sly, manipulative bitch or what?!

Wicked said...

***The hat for me are about sun exposure and skin cancer, Jake is fair and has moles, and any dermatologist would say to he does have greater risk.***

Wear sunscreen and get a different type of hat, then. The hat he's currently wearing does nothing for him, but I think he thinks it does.

***I don't think Jake wears a hat because of the sun, more to associate himself with A-list stars like Brad Pitt and Jackman and look like an 'it' boy when in reality he's B-list at best.***

I think this is he real reason for the hat too. At least the particular one he is wearing.

prairiegirl said...

A healthy C. LOL, Special. Awww, poor Jake. He also had them in the Cabo pool pics; that was when he was pretty untoned and a little out of shape. His weight does seem to fluctuate alot. I would've almost thought steroids were possible back in December/January when he got back from London, but he had a couple of months with no angry incidents caught on camera/photo, anyway.

The only thing that still seems kind of strange to me is when he first got back and he was still all beefed up. He lost that muscle mass so quickly & dramatically. That, to me, is what seemed so startling.

I have that on skin sensitivity on my meds, too, Lane. I'm undecided on the hat wearing. Special, you make a good point. He does have alot of moles & that's one of the first things that will make you very susceptible to skin cancer. Plus, I've noticed that for someone so dark haired, he doesn't appear to tan very easily. He's always very pale. And for someone who lives in California on top of that. Even coming from Morocco, he wasn't very dark I don't think.

And Wicked makes a good point. Actually, if it's sun exposure he's worried about, wearing the hoodie up on his head & the Brad Pitt hat aren't going to protect his face at all. You need something with a decent sized brim, unless it's just his scalp he's worried about.

Okay, that changed my mind back. I think he wears it to hide, an subconscious thing. I would say he's wearing it to look cool except that doesn't explain the wearing of the sweatshirt hood. There's not a whole lot that's cool looking about wearing a sweatshirt hood, especially when you're going to be bucking 30 in another 1 1/2 yrs.

Aw well, I really shouldn't criticize, actually. Man, I will share something with you guys that's really embarrassing. When I was totally gone & in love with this guy several years ago, I think I said this before, I knocked myself out silly every morning getting ready for work. And I went through a hat thing. Found some really gorgeous ones, too. Black wool hats, maroon felt ones, lots of colored straw hats. They looked pretty darn good, too, lol. But man, what a stinkin' fool I was. I'm embarrassed now, even though it was sooo worth it. He rocked me like nobody's business ever has since.

Who knows. Gee, if he'd only do an interview, maybe somebody would ask him.

prairiegirl said...

Smiley, I think we keep talking at cross purposes. Everything we've said so far hasn't had anything to do with the other's last comment. Why not just spit it out & tell me what it is that you're really disagreeing with me about. I can tell when no matter what I say is going to be a right answer.

Florida Tom said...

PG got rocked. Hot Damn!!!!!!!!!

Special K said...

There's not a whole lot that's cool looking about wearing a sweatshirt hood, especially when you're going to be bucking 30 in another 1 1/2 yrs.###

Guess I will be putting all the hoodies away when you visit PG.
LOL!

prairiegirl said...

LOLLLL! No, only if you wear the hood up on your head, Special! With that little point at the top & I'll just pull on it and make it pointier, lol!

Special K said...

Hoods up... let's see.....well... winter, Sox games,up on the beach, riding on the T, rainy days,

prairiegirl said...

Yeah, isn't it wonderful to be in love? Even a good crush. It'd be great just to have a good crush going right now.

Those pics are interesting. So many of Jake alone, then that one with the guy & the clipboard or notebook, whatever it is. So was it business? She's awfully dressed up but he's not. Boy, they sure look happy, don't they? And Photo Op, agree. What is with the hoarde of paps now? I'd hate to say "Better get used to it, Jake", but I think I may have to. This could be the way of the future.

Speciallll! How many days now, huh? Let's see, it's just about under 31 now, no? Hey, and I've got my dog people calling like crazy, booking way in advance, too. I've got 2 jobs yet this month to do (spending $$$ !!), several through the summer, and even tentatively around Christmas holiday.

I'm getting very excited. Sigh. I don't think that I'll be having any porter/bodyguard helping me out with my bag, though. Think I'll be on my own, there. Perhaps a paparazzi greetin? Flashing camera lights? Can I get someone to reach for my elbow to guide me out, lol? Come on, I'm an old woman!

prairiegirl said...

Do you really wear your hood up all the time, Special? lol.
What we need to do when I come up there, then, is have you wear some white socks with sandals. That'll complete it.

LOLL! Man, I'm mean, aren't I?

Boy, I had gotten an email awhile back telling me about a flight change & I went into a panic. Don't mess with my direct flight, I thought! All I can see changed is the Flight number on my changeover flight going home. Even got the same seat #. That doesn't make any sense.
I was talking to one of my favorite buddies at Corporate and he said that Boston is serious Northeast. That it's way totally different. I'm liable to get eaten alive, lol!

prairiegirl said...

Okay, time to head for bed. I don't have to work tomorrow, yeaaa. Today was a real bear, too.

Smiley, I can't go to bed with any kind of unrest going on. I'm sorry if I said anything wrong. I just can't figure out what it was I said that sounded bad or out of line. I don't care if you disagree with my thoughts about Austin - I'm not asking anyone to agree with it and I said as much.

Oh well, can't worry about it, can I. Hey, Tom, I was just noticing your new avatar. Very, very nice, buddy! Is that from your Florida trip? See, you can download pics. You will need to email me a pic of your dog now, lol. Now that I know.

It was very nice to see you here tonight; hope that means that you felt better today.

Sweet dreams & everyone have a good Austin Friday, gettin' my well wish in early.

Hey, one more thing! Where in the heck was that birthday girl yesterday?!!! Kacieeee! You came on your birthday eve, but not the big day itself. And we were waiting for you....
Hope you had a great one! Love you, Kace.

Florida Tom said...

Actually PG the back is doing much better. I am going back to work on Mon. I talked to my boss today and to my surprise he was very nice and insisted on me doing light duty for 2 weeks to make sure I dont aggravate it again. My boss is not the same person everyday. It is astounding. One day he is giving people such a hard time and the next day he is nice. I cannot figure the man out.

My avatar is actually just a pic I got from the internet. I dont think we will be getting anymore biking pics of J and A for a while. I think they tested the waters and it did not go over to well for PR purposes.

I really do believe that Jake and reese will be getting married now. Its inevitable. The relationship has only one way to go. We will probably hear about an engagement by the fall. Pretty sad but most likely reality now.

sienna said...

i'm not picking or trying to be mean at all, but jake looks really weird to me in these pictures. he looks almost plump, and his nose looks bulbus. i'm comparing this nose with younger jake pics and it seems to have odd bumps it didn't used to have. maybe it's because of his expression, but his smile isn't extreme enuf to change his whole facial look....

i wonder if reeking is having a pinocchio-type effect on him.

i agree that it SEEMS like a wedding is in the works, but the more jake's movies don't succeed and the more time goes by without him having a solid deal, i wonder if he might become a liability. i mean, aside from the fact that we love him, he's really not that big of a deal in the HW world. reese could do a lot better if she was just shopping for image, or if that was even an issue for her. if she goes thru with marrying him, that will be what convinces me that it's real, because he brings nothing to her table that she doesn't already have tons of except himself.

destiny said...

Glad to hear you're doing better Tom.

I still wear hoodies, great for walking because you can put up the hood when it rains or if it is really cold.

Jake is perfect for Reese because he'll never dump her for another woman. Maybe she has her doubts about having a real relationship last. Or she's still in love with Ryan and/or has no interest in a real relationship right now, preferring to just concentrate on her kids. Maybe she's asexual.

WTF said...

Pacific Coast News says that Jake tried to avoid being papped with Reese so he drove to the back entrance of R+D Kitchen to pick her up after lunch.

flf said...

Huh? there are like 8 paps round the car lol!

Spin, spin & more spin.. is there anything real about these two?

:) said...

I don't believe Reeke would marry.

Jake can't be that stupid and autodestructive.

Wicked said...

Another good look is black socks with sandals.

Hey PG, I am thinking of coming up to Boston when you are there. Trying to work things out now. It's crazy that my Mrs has seen Spesh more recently than I have! We haven't seen each other since Spesh was here last April. Loving the cherry blossom avatar, BTW.
