OTH Season Six is ovah (that would be over for outside of Boston) but Season Seven will be in production in July and Austin no longer just a extended guest star but a season regular, so it's time for him to get know a little more about his neighborhood, ok well OMG to, Austin's lived in Wilmington before when he was on Surface.And while famous people might come to work in Wilmington, Wilmington has one of their own who became one of the most famous people in the world.
Sneakers. Clothes. Underwear spokesman. Minor league baseball player. McDonalds Pitchman. Gold medalist. Worked with Bugs Bunny. One of the biggest reasons Nike is still in business. Everyone wants to be like ... Mike. Even Beckham when his came to play in the US, wanted to be 23.
Michael Jordan.
Born in Brooklyn NY but raised in Wilmington NC Michael Jordan is the greatest player in the history of basketball. Even this Celtic fan admits it, but would Jake? Who might say his heart has to say Magic or Kareem of the Lakers, but you know his head is saying Jordan. Even Magic is looking at him in amazement.
Sure he's from Wilmington, but that doesn't mean he has an OTH connection. But his Airness. He is part-owner and Managing Member of Basketball Operations of the Charlotte Bobcats. (Nathan's team)
You wonder if Austin could score some tickets. You know he could say he played basketball. Hey it got him the part on Glory Road. ; )
Now the results of our movie club poll:
TDAT came in first. And Hopeful TB's suggestion (awesome one) it would be interesting to compare it to Star Trek, as well as have discussion about the movie in general.
Movie Club will be Friday night (5:00pm EST) - Saturday - June 12-13th.
And because summer means extra special treats - a second movie club on June 19-20th for a LGBT movie. The number one pick for the LGBT movie was Big Eden.
Hope they you can join OMG for one or both of June's movie clubs.
And don't forget JFC Discussion Episode 5: His Visit - Day 4, this Friday night and Saturday.
And on this day, whatever our feelings or politics,
we stop and recognize those who have served and sacrificed.
Thank you.
we stop and recognize those who have served and sacrificed.
Thank you.
Happy Memorial Day!
Beautiful photo of Austin.
ReplyDeleteagree with you destiny, that is a seriously stupendous pic of Austin.
ReplyDeletelove that curly hair.
I did not realize Surface was filmed there. I actually watched that series and liked Austin in it. He looks particularly good around water.
ReplyDeleteWow I really wonder if JG Francis had any clue what interest there was in Jakes sexually. I def think that he is legit and was talking about something that happened. I also think he knows Jake is gay but again didnt realize some of the interest and talk about Jake on the internet. JG says he and Jake have a mutual friend and Jake gave out his number. No way str8 guys do that especially after eye contact like that. Eye contact like that between men is normally sexual in one way or another. Str8 Men avoid eye contact unless they know the other guy.
ReplyDeleteI feel bad and I hope I didnt scare JG. His blog is very nice. I hope he comes back and visits us again.
Yey! I'm touched my idea was well received, thank you :)
ReplyDeleteI also didn't realise Austin had already been to Wilmington. No wonder he fitted in so well with the OTH cast: familiar place, familiar people and new inspiring ones too. I wonder what he has been up to in Italy.
^ So do I :)
ReplyDeleteAnd it's "ovah" for us too, and Australia ... :)
What did Ted mean in that last one? I'm stumped.
Sarver is from Jasper, TX*
ReplyDeleteWhoa. Okay, now I get why he said what he said.
Rolling Thunder has been rolling through DC this weekend. I love these folks! It's great to see motorcycle riders all over the city. We went to the National Arboretum and saw some Rolling Thunder folks walking around in full motorcycle regalia. We can also hear them zooming up and down 295 all weekend. Whenever I think of Memorial Day, I think of these men and women.
Interesting, the old "Jake might be in it, it's going to be big on a NY Broadway stage" Farragut North play is now in L.A. at the (small) Geffen Playhouse and starring Chris Pine. How's that bearding and Reese mentoring working out for you Jake?
ReplyDeleteJustJared - Chris Pine in Farragut North
Love the curls. sigh. What I wouldn't give for my hair to do that. There was a young guy at the Royals game last week with the most gorgeous dark, wavy hair and I was admiring his as well.
ReplyDeleteI'm home but not for long. Can't even unpack yet and I'm off to go to JoAnn Fabrics.
But I did want to get on & just say this about yesterday. I have no doubt that Jake knows how to cruise and has done it probably a ton of times. I'm sure he wasn't over in Morocco all that time with just his right hand for company as well.
There's just several things that hold me back from totally believing it. I found that other guy's post, the journalist jogger in Europe who encountered J & R working out, totally believable. The poem, no, I didn't buy that one at all. This latest one could be bought except I just have a few hanging issues, none of which I want to share on here. lol. This blog's too available to eyes. Just because someone gives a personal account on LJ or Blogger or wherever by some Joe Bloe does not always make it true. So, you just have to "file it away," like m said. Keep it in the back of the mind.
Phew. Still catching up on things. Wow, I can't believe I'm following my own last comment and it's been over 5 hrs ago. This one might have to do me as I still have to catch up on a couple new chapters of stories that I've missed on LJ and some other laptop work.
ReplyDeleteI took JFC Episode 5 with me to dogsit but I didn't get it watched. I'm going to have to try tonight because I have a feeling the rest of this week is going to be a wash. I've got my dog people calling me left and right, I can't believe it. I hope they keep calling because I think the $$ might be needed, depending on what my doctor tells me tomorrow about the next step in finding out about my tibial nerve thingy problem.
I won't be able to join you guys for the movie discus since I'm just not a Star Trek fan. I never was into that show; I'm not a Star Wars or Stargate or any of those kinds of show fans. But I know you guys'll probably have your greatest discussion ever since it sounds like this Squinto guy is as much the rage as that Pattinson guy. I dunno, I think I'm getting too old, lol. None of these new people are interesting me any.
Yesterday morning, I happened to catch the tail end of a Charles Osgood story and it caught my eye because they were showing pictures of a national cemetary. And they were showing shots of gravestones, what some of them said. And then they showed a gravemarker that just said "Unknown" and there was no sound on the TV, just the wind and it was such a profound moment. How absolutely tragic that someone should die and no one know who the remains belonged to.
I saw an obituary in the paper the other day and it was so short. It was a young guy and there wasn't even going to be a memorial service or funeral. It was probably the shortest obituary I've ever seen. It was one of the saddest things I've ever seen. I can't think of hardly anything lonelier than to leave this earth like that.
They're repeating the OTH wedding episode right now; I really liked this one. Sophia is so beautiful.
Hey, guess what, this is cool; or at least I thought it was. The guy I just dogsat for; he & his bandmates got back today from their weekend gig. There was a mini poster on the coffee table of where they were at as their band was mentioned as one of the participating acts. The headlining act at this Togapalooza? (LOL! Togapalooza) Everclear!!! Wow, that's pretty cool. Everclear has had a few hits on mainstream radio - I think their lead singer is hot. I couldn't believe it, tho. That's not too shabby! I'm watching Nikki & Puddy again this coming Sat. as they have another one night gig.
Well, not anything else going on, I guess. Goodnight to all and to all a good night.
PG - you don't have to be a Star Trek fan to be involved in the movie discussion. The plan is to talk about the movie on the whole as part of the discussion, and another part of the discussion is the comparison to Star Trek.
ReplyDeleteSo it covers alot of ground for all kinds of fans.
Gorgeous day here. Nice Memorial Day.
And yeah noticed they are rerunning the wedding episode. So more Julian and his shiner.
I agree with the comment that said Austin looks a little more filled out than from the bigger of the season, but he carries it well.
And I'm leaving this question for Tom who has had past interest in these things. Was that a ripple or a jiggle of those pecs (you can use your own word Tom) when he whipped the shirt off in the season finale, or was it a shadows from the lighting. (You check it out on You Tube if you didn't catch the show)
I hope people check out Big Eden and join the discussion for it.
ReplyDeleteIt is a great love story, in town that gives you a little Northern Exposure (the TV show) feel. It's not a teenage love story, or just about hooking up, but a sweet story about falling in love and the things you do.
About today's Ted and his flip flop on being hard on Toothy and the others and then being sympathetic, and his answer about growing up again in Texas.
ReplyDeleteI think he is trying to say from his own experience he acknowledges that coming out is tough and some will be slower than others, but still he wants them to come out. JMO
"I think he is trying to say from his own experience he acknowledges that coming out is tough and some will be slower than others, but still he wants them to come out. JMO"
ReplyDeleteThat's the way I read it also, and I'm with him 100%.
http://www.celebrity-gossip.net/celebrities/hollywood/reese-witherspoon-and-jake-gyllenhaal-holiday-partiers-213742/
ReplyDeleteyeah that's why he running out the door And what the hell? "keeping up their efforts not be photographed together" did the Gossip Girls smoke their check from Evelyn ?
ReplyDeleteI read Ted as being sympathetic as well. His cat has been quite ill lately so I think he feels more empathy for others at the moment.
ReplyDeleteAs usual, Jake does not look like he personally had a good time. What else is new.
So this is the guy that Jake supposedly wanted to hang out with?
ReplyDeletehttp://vimeo.com/user429121
Highly interesting ... and a total hipster.
I think that Ted knows that Jake is having a hard time securing juicy roles, and he feels sorry for him. For now.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I can see Jake being attracted to that guy very easily.
ReplyDeleteI went over to justjared to see if they posted the party pics. They cut/pasted the photos to make it look like Reeke were close together, not miles apart.
The guy - oh yeah hipster
ReplyDelete- for me that just sends my bs detector up more -
I had to laugh when I read that about keep up efforts not to be photographed together. PR strategy plan #57 : )
It looks like a it was a business kind of gathering - with Hanks, and RDJ attending.
Anyone ever watch the mini series "Starter Wife" with Debra Messing (who was married then dump by her Hollywood mogul husband)? They have a Memorial Party scene at some big exec's beach house in Malibu, and it is basically have to go to be seen business kind of summer party. That was the first thing I thought of when I saw the pictures and the mentions of who was there.
Cool breezy summer night - off to sleep!
Looks like Jake had a fun time? You've got to be kidding me.
ReplyDeleteI don't know but I'm getting that vibe/feeling again that Jake's in a bad place again. How many camera shots does it take for it to be more than just a bad day or a bad shot. The one good thing I see here is that unlike any past Reeke pictures that I've noticed, in this one, he's got one thing going on that he hasn't before.
Well, you have to show that they spend holidays together. Even this is a schmooze event, though, going by the guestlist. Does everything they do have to be about networking and the biz? I can just feel...my neck stiffening up...and, man, that tension between my shoulder blades is, ughhh getting worse by the minute...pops neck side to side...can't seem to relax...I don't know; I can't help but worry when I see these last several outings.
And he's leaving her in the dust, lol. Love the Lights,Camera,Action smile she's got goin on. Attagirl, Avon's calling. Man, her face is taking up the whole front cover of our new Avon book. In the trash the cover went! It took all I had not to rip it off of my little buddy's mom's brochure before I gave it to her Friday. Sheepishly, I knew I couldn't have a good excuse for that one. lol.
That guy does resemble traits of Austin with the curly hair, the lean build, just like the first picture in today's post. He doesn't look like Austin, tho - this guy is really rough. Jake, you better stick with Austin, buddy.
Naw, still have my nagging doubts. Oh well, still interesting, tho.
Well, like Special, I'm off to bed. It's really cool today and there's a light rain going on. Going to be good sleeping weather if I ever get in that direction.
Gah even Jake doesn't want to be seen with his beard.
ReplyDeleteThere was a replay of an old OTH from 2008, just before this years wedding episode tonight. I started to watch it not realizing it was not the 2009 one, then stuck with it for the hell of it. Peyton and Brooke are walking to a wedding. Brooke says "I cant believe we don't have dates for this. What kind of boyfriend takes his guy roommate camping for the weekend?" Peyton's reply is "Jake Gyllenhaal". An insider joke even then.
ReplyDelete"The guy - oh yeah hipster
ReplyDelete- for me that just sends my bs detector up more - "
"Hipster" was what someone called him in a comment here, not what he called himself. One pic, obviously a casual shot with shorts, scruff beard and shades and probably not current, hard to tell what his personality is by that, one picture.
I give him the benefit of the doubt on the Jake story. He had nothing to lose or gain by telling it, unless you want to count site hits. Yes if he was lying he could be doing it for an ego boost and a bit of attention, but what straight man really wants to publicize that he got hit on by a gay guy? And if he's lying and he's really gay (lol, covering all bases here), why would he say he's straight considering he's in the arts and living in gay-happy LA and why would he make a fool of himself? Plus if he's gay and it really did happen, why would he say no to Jake, talk about it and end all future chances?
But really, the guy had nothing to gain by telling what happened. If anything it put him up for ridicule and disbelief, which is odd because you can bet your ass Jake had more than 5 confidentiality agreements printed up, for good reason.. he's using them, just not with this guy.
"It took all I had not to rip it off of my little buddy's mom's brochure before I gave it to her Friday."
ReplyDeleteLOL.
Jake with friends, beard, whatever. I've lost interest....Is that JG Francis?!
Star Trek discussion will be good. :)
Don't know where Austin is or why he wrote the Italy article but I hope he's enjoying himself and not in LA either :)
"Brooke says "I cant believe we don't have dates for this. What kind of boyfriend takes his guy roommate camping for the weekend?" Peyton's reply is "Jake Gyllenhaal". An insider joke even then."
ReplyDeleteOMFG!! Great catch, m. Pretty subversive but blatant at the same time, don't you say? Not a "Jack Twist" answer but then not exactly saying GAY either. I looked it up, if right the ep originally aired on March 18, 2008, right in middle of bearding. What was Brooke's reply or expression, do you remember? I missed the show, I thought it was Sunday. I'm gonna be all screwed up this week I know it. Shit!
i went to JJ to look at the mem day pics, and i didn't see even one with them together. and he looked like he was being chased by the cops. very strange. i have all my crossable parts crossed that maybe he's getting sick of this lie. gay or straight, i'd be up for watching him if he was doing something that looked real.
ReplyDeleteok, i went back and looked more closely and saw the one where he's leaving her in the dust. he looks so unhappy. poor guy. but he has choices (surely he does...???) i wish he'd ditch this and get back to living his life. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteWHY is Jake wearing a fedora at the beach?! And he's dressed like its autumn. (also did anyone notice the pics on JJ, Reese has the usual one where her belly is flabbed out then in the next pic the belly has magically disappeared and her bust has grown to a D cup. I wonder how long she had to hold her breath and suck in her gut until the photog got the shot LOL)
ReplyDeleteThe LA Marathon was today and so far no pics of celebs, if they were even there. With all the runners and bicyclists in the race and it being LA/HW you'd think celebs would be there doing something if not just watching, oh thats right my bad, Reese already had the paps booked for the Malibu Reekathon.
ReplyDeleteJake looks sad to me at leaving that party. As Special points out, it does very much look like an industry event, maybe their agency.
ReplyDeleteOne thing, if Austin has (temporarily?) departed surely that's going to put alot more pressure on the Reeking beardy situation. Surely Jake is easier to handle (manipulate) in bearding terms when he at least has Austin to run home to and be comforted by, without Austin I think Jake really becomes a wild card, lonely, horny, resentful, vulnerable and on the prowl. Pretty much a disaster to happen.
Aware that this is total unfounded speculation, but just a few thoughts.
Should of course read "Pretty much a disaster waiting to happen"
ReplyDeleteMaybe these rambling are a complete load of tosh, but he certainly doesn't look to happy a bunny to me.
and lose the hat already Jake, i think your fans can cope with a small degree of receding hair line, they can't stand months of you looking like a complete prat.
How thoughtful of Mr Witheredpoon to make the Memorial party pics just of him instead of all about the phony ass narcissistic beard hogging the main stage front and center, while the only part in the pictures of the guy formerly known as Jake is a pathetic out-of-focus loose thread hanging off his left sleeve cuff in the far corner of the frame. Why if this cheekiness of his continues IHR might be forced to change its name, to IHR+j.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of IHR -
ReplyDeleteMay 24 - Shopping At The Farmer's Market In Ojai and May 25 - J&R Attend A Memorial Day Beach Party In LA.
wild card, lonely, horny, resentful, vulnerable and on the prowl.
ReplyDeleteThem words is our get-rich-quick mating call!
This J.G. Francis guy looks like "Wes from the production company", the guy Unabomber Jake was seen hugging on the street during his sad summer. I definately think he was a former date with all the checking around if anyone is watching.
ReplyDeleteJake has a very distinctive taste in men and J.G. looks like his type so I'm leaning towards believing his blog. I can easily see him (J.G.) being flattered by the attention and writing about the experience even though he wasn't interested in the end. And getting deeper into the male psyche: I think he actually was a bit interested since he was the one making eye contact and there sure is a lot of stress on how much he loves boobs.
Also Austin must be away since Jake is looking so distressed again. Sigh. He is not a happy bunny in the beach party pictures.
"May 24 - Shopping At The Farmer's Market In Ojai"
ReplyDeleteOh no, white crew socks pulled up to the calf...

ReplyDeleteThanks for the first laugh for the morning.
It's raining again...
ReplyDeleteWhat a great song by Supertramp,I think??
Yea for a short week. Here's to a good day for everyone. I hope someone can bring a real smile to Jake's face today.
Too much barbeque. What a great title for a song. Is that a one-hit wonder?
Too much barbeque. What a great title for a song. Is that a one-hit wonder?
ReplyDeletePG -its a blues tune, but Big Twist did have another blues hit with 300lbs of Heavenly Joy.
Too Much Barbeque - that should have been the caption for the picture of Jake hightailing out of the party. But I know some of you would say its the caption for loose fitting tops.
IHR Love it!
ReplyDeleteNow I havent looked because I have to go to work but I take it Jake is wearing a hat and white tubes socks to a beack party. Sounds hot.
'Morning, Tom!!!!
