Well we've had the:
Piggyback
Out for yogurt
Shopping
Industry events (New Picture 2:11pmEST)
Same Management
Airport pics
Couple pic in People
And now the coordinating outfits.
BushNic seems to be full steam ahead but it looks like there are a few lessons picked up.
Keep stuff in your hands.
Actually get along and like each other
Friends who want want to help each
Keep hat in hand.
Subtle doesn't always translate giving the heads up to those who know the faux. Make it bold. Like Big Blue.
Big Blue says a lot of things, Sophinfaux for sure, but also that there is only one man, and all the other stuff is just crap, whoever the co-star is.
But you gotta remember what Lainey told Sophia so long ago about that ring .... wasn't something about glitter? ; )
Should we just called them Blue Beard?

Big Blue. lol.
ReplyDeleteThis was an awesome post today, Special.
Austin on JJ. Austin in People. Austin in AT. Austin in TV Guide.
Austin, Austin, Austin!!!
The guy is having his moment and I can't help but really enjoy it. I hope One Tree Hill has a great year.
Love having days off!!
Today's song was a given. I just picture Reese and Austin dueling it out in it. HA!!!!
ReplyDeleteHad to update the post for one more thing. Couldn't help myself.
ReplyDeleteAnd why all telephone calls happen when you are trying to get something done. UGH. Posting and on the phone doesn't work. Sorry for such a long delay.
So glad to see Big Blue again! :)

ReplyDeleteSorry NO ANONS! If you want comments to stay around. PUT A NAME On your comments.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes it does look like I put a manip. That is John Corbett's hand.
Will change the pic.
I am going to wait until after OTH starts and we see what happens next before I put a label on this. It could just be "let's give them ideas even though there is no fire" to promote the show, or the beginning of full-on bearding. No way to know from what we've seen so far. We know Austin is a very affectionate guy, so the fact there has been none in the photos says something (although it could mean just they usual HW fauxmance buildup).
ReplyDeleteThe comments on JJ could peel the paint off the walls. It's really ugly. I suspect some of them come from our Reeke-loving trolly.
I'm beginning to think all this is just what's done with movie and film promotion, regardless of the sexuality of the stars involved. A little are they, aren't they intrique to promote the show. Obviously the stakes are higher with J&R. :( I wonder if wearing Big Blue out and proud is Austin's way of acknowledging this. :)
ReplyDeleteHey, Buffalo Girl, I love your name. That's really unique. I hope you keep that one.
ReplyDeleteI think you make a good point, too. I realize that now, after having watched Jennifer & Vince Vaughn, Kate Hudson & 1000+ other co-stars, etc.
I also agree with Destiny. It's really hard to tell with this one. I jumped on the bearding wagon right off the bat but now having seen the rest of this, it's hard to say if it's soley for the show. That's what I'm leaning towards, anyway, promo-ing for the show.
And I quit reading some those JJ comments. Interesting how someone brought up Austin's DUI. Now how many of today's OTH fans would even be aware of that? I bet hardly any, if not zero. Someone planting that ugly reminder out there to ruin things.
Just goes to show how those kinds of things in one's past will always be brought up to try and bring a person down, even if it's no longer the person that you are or has no relevancy any longer.
Well, about to head on out for my dogsitting gig that runs through Sunday. Not sure yet how much I'll be around. So, everyone have a good Wednesday!
Thanks PG! :* You have a good day too.
ReplyDeleteI agree Buffalo Girl, there is a lot of this that goes on for promoting a specific project. I am not a fan of it, in part because it assumes the norm is not only heterosexual, but being in a relationship, and because I think people should be sold on their own merits.
ReplyDeleteReeke has gone well beyond that. If Reeke had disappeared after Rendition came out, then I would have put it in the same category and thought nothing more of it. Reeke is full on-bearding, done regardless of what is being promoted--or should I say, the thing being promoted is Jake is straight and Reese is desirable (and not a woman dumped by her husband for a younger, prettier, more talented actress and seemingly nicer, down-to-earth woman).
In the way its being played with the matching outfits and the couples stuff in the rags and the floating of the rewritten history that they had been dating for two years in 2006 and got back together, sorry it sound more than promotion for the show.
ReplyDeleteI am not going to be surprised if this more than start of OTH. Remember Jake and Reese it was Rendition in the beginning.
I do think Austin and Sophia actually do get along and have chemistry. That Sophia likes him and Jake. And they are both helping each other out. And that is mutual, and one trying not to be the boss of the whole thing.
There is a lot of differences but a whole lot a similarities.
I find it great to see Big Blue back, and even more interesting that it is made its comeback when it did. And you might be thrilled with what its saying anymore, but its saying it loud and clear.
I agree with you all, just being strictly business doesn't make it any better. It is sad that it assumes straightness as the norm. I was just hoping that just maaaaybe Bushnic wouldn't last much longer than OTH promotion. It's disappointing, but I'm so glad to see Big Blue again, I do think that is significant. :)
ReplyDeleteA solo Jake Gyllenhaal exits a medical center on Wednesday morning (September 2) in Beverly Hills, Calif.
ReplyDeleteJake's rocking big blue in a different way.
ReplyDeleteWow what a way to say, the Gylly ain't in Philly. ; )
But who would want to go there when you've when got a goose to gander and more.
Ok it might be kind of out there, but you know looking at the HQ pics of Jake over IHJ, I seem a mark on his right leg (to your left) that looks like a tiny footprint.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm going put on the flak jacket for the fall out.
Oh my, Special, I think you may be right.... (I had noticed it earlier, but figured it was just a smudge). Good to remember that whatever nonsense happens this week will be intended as a distraction.
ReplyDeleteand P.S. I love today's post.
ReplyDeleteLink, please!
ReplyDeletePerhaps Jake is just wanting to advertise his tiny carbon footprint.

ReplyDeleteLook much farther up his leg (i.e. above where you'd cropped the photo).
ReplyDeleteA smudge on Jake's (right) leg or his pants?
ReplyDeleteOn his shorts. - Charybdis you can see it right?
ReplyDeleteJake's pants - This?
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, I can see it. It's not a tremendously dark smudge, but it's there, and foot shaped (toes and all).
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a piece of thread from his shirt

Third post in a row. But too good not to share
ReplyDeleteDidn't know if anyone had seen this:
Jim Verraros, from American Idol (Season One), is getting married to his boyfriend of 4 years, Bill Brennan, this Saturday in Oak Brook, IL. They met after Bill messaged Jim on MySpace following Jim being on American Idol.
Jim & Bill's Myspace
Congratulations Jim & Bill.
Wow, what a day. The song selection is terrific. So appropriate. And the ring is back!!! Hooray. I do think Jake and Austin find ways to let us know they are still together and in love despite what their jobs require them to do. You cant tell me they are not aware of these sites or what is being said on them. Austin looked great, especially his hair. And an honest to god smile. If you are going to do fake promo, its best to use a woman you are truly friends with. I guess Jake didn't have anyone who fit that bill so had to settle for Reese.
ReplyDeleteOff now to checkout Buckley and the baby footprint.
Buckley is indeed hot, hot, hot. Thanks for the link. He has a Jake like quality about him. Handsome, but just a bit goofy looking at the right angle. I found no women mentioned when I googled him the other day, and saw this on the website linked here. "What was your craziest night out? Every night of Fashion Week. At the parties, there's not a woman under 6´2˝ and not a guy with body fat over 4 percent. It's all a blur. I'm still recovering from it [months later]." I don't think too many straight guys would mention the <4% body fat of the men. They would be drooling over the female models.
ReplyDeleteBill and Jim's wedding site is so sweet and romantic - just goes to show, love is love. :')
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Bill and Jim, and may they have much happiness and love together! :*
The OTH preview looks great, There's just something about Sophia, and of course Austin is beautiful. They make a great on-screen couple. :)
Wow, watching that clip, I have to agree, Robert B. reminds me a lot of Jake, the younger, happier, carefree Jake. Even if nothing is going on, I can't help wondering if Austin doesn't find him kind of hot too.
ReplyDeleteLove Austin and Sophia together.
Austin got pretty high billing, over the new cast members and over most of the old cast members, except for the big ones: James, Joy and Sophia.
Sweet story about Jim and Bill.
ReplyDeleteKind of interesting to read the comments on ONTD about the latest Austin and Sophia pictures. Almost as many mentions of Jake and Austin as Sophia and Austin as a couple, some chatter about JFC, a posting of Austin's Details magazine photo, and almost as many people wishing Sophia would date someone else as say they like them together.
ReplyDeleteONTD
I saw the comments over on ONTD too Dest. I think alot of people just want Sophia to date someone other than one of her co-stars. There is still a strong voice about Jake and Austin and even over on Just Jared, there are comments about Toothy, Goose, Jake & Austin. Don't know how many people look over on OTH groups, but there were a little tiff over one about Sophia and Austin for real and for PR. OTH fans are very invested in their show and are very passionate on both sides of the aisle on this one. (BushNic)
ReplyDeletewe seriously need to find out why jake is going to the dr over and over again. he's been more in the last year than i've been in 20 years. what is up with him? he looks kinda ick to me, but like i said the other day, i'm not sure if its just that he's changed some with age and i don't find him as handsome as before, or if it's that he's just gaunt and haggard looking from something being wrong. the problem could be mental or physical. maybe he's got problems dealing with life. he certainly wouldn't be alone in the department. he looks so NOT pleased at getting those pics made, makes me feel bad looking at them.
ReplyDeleteis that blue ring austin's wearing significant of their relationship? i've never seen it before. it was pretty and very unique.
off to bed. hugs. s.
Dear Awful Truth:
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to figure out if this gossip is true so I figured I'd ask the expert. How many actresses from One Tree Hill are beards? Do you know if there are any actresses from One Tree Hill who may be in need of a beard of their own?
—Colleen
Dear Hidden Hills:
I'll give you a big LOL for this one. The answer, friend, is more than zero.
Dear Awful Truth:
I would just like to say that Team Awful is doing a fabulous job in Ted's absence. We the readers would pledge our allegiance to Team Awful over Ted if you were to reveal a couple of Blind Vices (Oh, say: Toothy and Nevis). Disclaimer: Of course, when Ted gets back we'll deny any such allegiance. You understand, of course.
—Cutlet Canada
Dear Nice Try:
Well, since this is my last week on the job, maybe on quitting day I'll go out in a blaze of glory and reveal every Vice you ever wanted to know about anyone, ever. Or maybe I won't. Bam.
Dear Awful Truth:
In the upcoming movie The Brothers, are Tobey and Jake's characters supposed to be fighting over Natalie, or are Tobey and Jake fighting temptation for each other? I don't buy either one of these tools as a romantic lead onscreen or fighting over Kirsten Dunst offscreen. They both seem so egotistical, and from the small previews of the movie, trying to overact each other. And I wonder if all three leads were on the same cycle when the movie wrapped? Doesn't Hollywood have any true romantic leads who can act beside Leo D.? He can't do all the movies, can he?
—JSC
Dear Awful A-list:
I'm a big fan of Leo, but you're off your rocker if you think he's the only "true romantic lead" out there right now. I don't even care to answer your question until you go spend a couple of hours doing some major Wikiage. Now good day, sir.
Dear Awful Truth:
Is Toothy Tile Michael Angarano?
—Interested
Dear Sky High Homo:
Not a chance. Think not only older but less prepubescent.
Nice post, Spesh - it's great to see Big Blue and FootGate is an unexpected pleasure too :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting how star relationships are set up - I guess if Hil was still in OTH she might be the choice, as the chemistry is stronger (viz. Jake and Jen).
It will be interesting to see how
ReplyDeleteAustin/Sophia turn out! They do look good together! It is good to
see the large ring out again! I also like all the photos-especially
the one at the bottom! I do hope
Jake's health is good and nothing
too serious! Who knows-it could
be doctor for counseling? I hope
everyone has a great Labor Day
weekend! Here it has felt like fall
the last 2 mornings-down to 48 this
morning!
I just saw Jake's photos on Just
ReplyDeleteJared and he looks terribly worried! Maybe that's the way he
looks but hope nothing is wrong.
What time frame did the big blue
ring show up-between 2005 and 2006?
Was it BEFORE the breakup Ted once
mentioned?

"More than Zero" jumped off the page for me:
'Less Than Zero' - a well-known Bret Easton Ellis book/film.
Who from OTH has recently been in a BEE adaptation?
Austin, of course.
Man! I don't have time to read and it looks like some stuff was happening. I did not bring my laptop today and I had a bunch of emails waiting for me this morning. So hopefully plan to just spend time on the internet at lunchtime.
ReplyDeleteNothing but secure networks around Lucy, Molly & Jingles' house. Rotten little Jingles. Caught him right in the act of dropping a couple of nuggets in her bedroom this morning. grrrr! He's just a really, really ornery dog.
Okay, gotta get to work, everyone have a good morning!
footgate. LOLLL!
ReplyDeleteis that blue ring austin's wearing significant of their relationship?
ReplyDeleteSienna, there's no reason to think the ring has any significance. Some people here think Jake gave it to him, but there's no proof of this.
Hi babbler!
ReplyDeleteHave to say, I love that OMG is playing a couple of songs from musicals lately - more please! Maybe a little somethin' from Oklahoma! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's funny imagining Reese and Austin dueling it out over Jake. ;)
Love seeing Big Blue, and I think Jake is rockin' that blue shirt! Chambray or denim? It looks like that kind of weave.
For those who don't know, Big Blue looks strikingly like one worn in Brokeback Mountain.
ReplyDeleteForgot to add, OMG gets more and more creative all the time. :)
Re Austin's ring, some had originally hoped that the blue ring was from BBM, but it's clearly not a ring used in that movie. And, we of course have no proof at all to its significance. But we have seen the way that Austin has worn it over the years (and in particular how he would flash it and grin when it was new); it's hard not to imagine that it has some sort of significance....
ReplyDeleteRe Austin's ring, some had originally hoped that the blue ring was from BBM, but it's clearly not a ring used in that movie.
ReplyDeleteIs there a good picture/screen capture of the ring used in BBMt?
Maybe it isn't the same one, but I always like to think so - Austin said that movie meant a lot to him . . . so I think a lot of us thought Jake might have given it to Austin, as Jake said it was an important film for him as well.
ReplyDeleteI do think it's interesting Austin's wearing it again. :)
The first time Austin was seen wearing the ring was in early 2006. There was a story about Jake spending time around Christmas 2005at a resort in the Caribbean, a place where a rare blue stone very similar to turquoise is found (can't recall the name). Some people think that is when Austin got the ring.
ReplyDeleteThe ring pretty much disappeared in the middle of JFC promotion, when Jake started the really heavy-duty Reeking. Except that Austin was wearing it in photos with Sophia in NYC for fashion week in early 2008.
Big Blue - some people think it is turquoise but personally now I tend to think it Larimar which is rare blue stone that is only found in the Dominican Republic and the Caribbean. Big Blue showed up around Dec 2005, and in picture at the Lakers I game, and it became obvious that Austin was quite proud of the ring by the way he was seen showing flashing it like some would flash a championship ring.
ReplyDeleteWhy do we think it is related to Jake?
Some say it is with its look to a similar ring to one in BBM.
Turquoise is the birthstone of December (Jake's birthstone)
Jake said in Jarhead press conference about getting a black diamond ring ("I'm engaged to myself") (Austin's birthstone - is a diamond) You can see the pinky ring with the diamond in the header for OMG.
I tend to think, after reading that Jake vacationed at an ultra exclusive/private resort in the Dominican Republic that it might have come from a trip for two.
Big Blue took a lower profile, it looks like for another ring sometimes seen on a chain. But somehow it pops up at very poignant times as if a message.
Looks like I was the long winded one, but smart minds think alike.
Austin did take his ring off when he was doing PR for JFC. I remember he went on Jimmy Kimmel without it, and also his "date" with Jen Esposito that same night at .... hmmmm ... Madeo.
ReplyDeleteHi babbler!
ReplyDeleteAnd, we of course have no proof at all to its significance.
No, I'm not. Why is stating the obvious getting me called a Babbler? There is no proof of the meaning of Big Blue. You can make up anything you want, but there is nothing to hang your hat on and say this is why I think the ring is tied to Jake. Why is this threatening?
Flashing it like a championship ring? No, I'd say more like an engagement ring.
ReplyDeleteFlashing it like a championship ring? No, I'd say more like an engagement ring.
ReplyDeleteYup
Why is this threatening?
ReplyDeleteLOL!
Not threatening, just transparent.
