The Beatles
Edition
It's a big Beatles day with the release of The Beatles catalog remastered and The Beatles Rock Band edition, and it got me thinking about Jake and Austin and The Beatles and birds.
Jake wanted to be a bird growing up. Wears birds.
Austin's namesake, and power animal.
And Your Bird Can Sing, Norwegian Wood (This Bird has Flown), Blue Jay Way, Blackbird, Free as a Bird,
When your bird is broken
will it bring you down
You may be awoken,
I'll be round, I'll be round
And when I awoke I was alone,
this bird had flown
There's a fog upon L.A.
And my friends have lost their way
We'll be over soon they said
Now they've lost themselves instead.
Please don't be long please don't you be very long
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life You were only
waiting for this moment to arise
Home, home and dry,
like a homing bird
I'll fly as a bird on wings.
Free as a bird,
like the next best thing to be.
Free as a bird.
....Flock together
Nice post, Special. Birds, birds, birds! Little Dog's mama is a huge, and I do mean huge, Beatles fan. She's buying/receiving all that stuff today that's getting released.
ReplyDeleteSee, I'm back already. LOL. Worn out from putting up one chap.
Destiny, I don't see how it helps BT either. That kid is going to grow up regardless and I don't see how he & Austin could keep any BT(s) hidden. If they do exist, they must be a really carefully protected fact in HW. Because you cannot tell me that there are alot more people who know than just Jake, Austin, Reese, and immediate family.
I don't even know how Deacon & Ava couldn't know. How do you keep them from talking? I don't know. It's enough to just drive me nuts.
And how is a marriage going to help. Or further accomplish what? If Reeke isn't helping to erase the rumors & innuendo talk online, how on earth is marriage?
They get married and they're going to have to do the big smoochola's and body clenches. I want to see Jake clenching a smile in his tux, arm tight around the Chin, feeding her cake without slamming it in her face, and then laying a big French Kiss on her.
Hey, does Michael K even mention these 2 anymore? I haven't seen a cross post from him on here in like forever. I don't check him out anymore; haven't in a long time. Not that he's not funny; he is, he's hilarious. I just don't get on there anymore.
ReplyDeleteAwesome post, Spesh! :*
ReplyDeleteHoly crap. I tune in late and Ted is on a roll, and just when I thought he was tired of Toothy. And a mention of Baby Tile to boot. Another mention of Austin, Sophia and Robert too that leaves the door open for comingling. Ted is back from vacation and ready to stir up the pot. Sorry, I don't see Jake and Reese ever marrying. A bearding contract is one thing, a fake marriage is a whole other issue. Way too significant for either party to take that step. Besides, even if they did, how could Jake suddenly produce a 1-2 year old child out of nowhere. I think Ted is just agitating to keep Toothy on the edge and to remind everyone that Baby Tile does indeed exist.
ReplyDeleteDear Ted:
ReplyDeleteWhy do people refer to Reese Witherspoon as the "beard"?
—Chin
Dear Cover-Up:
Sorry, I'm not familiar with that term.
"Church tongue not porno tongue"
ReplyDelete"Beard tongue"
"What's that?"
"No tongue"
"I don't get it"
"Exactly"
Dear Ted:
ReplyDeleteDo you think Austin Nichols is merely a cover-up for Sophia Bush and Robert Buckley and Robert a cover-up for Sophia's ex James Lafferty's new romance with the new girl Shantel VanSanten, who apparently has quite a rumor?
–Bitch
Dear One Tree What?
You lost me there. But I can assure you OTH has one creatively commingling cast.
Dear Ted:
ReplyDeleteThere are only 11 comments on the Bitch-Back with LeAnn and Eddie, and I already know that with that one answer you gave regarding Twyla Babe-Sucker's problems not really being over you have started a massive disturbance. Now everyone will say Twyla can't be Kristen, and everyone will think she is TTT and bisexual. As if this girl (and I mean girl) needs any more s—t right now. I love you, Ted, but you were so wrong this time. So wrong. Wait until you see the boards explode. They are waiting to destroy her.
—Allison
Dear Ticking Twyla:
I hardly think the Bitch-back was a giveaway either way. You sound as cranky-certain as Reese Witherspoon is with her damn whip, already.
LOL on One More Time. That is just classic, just classic.
ReplyDeleteThe Little Footprint. Do you reckon those shorts are preserved or long washed? Maybe the little footprint won't wash out and is forever imprinted on there. Kinda like the Shroud of Turin. A permanent image in the Shorts of Jake. (they were shorts, weren't they?)
Who wants to go on a pilgrimmage to see The Shorts of Jake? To see the little footprint, of course.
We have come from afar to see...to see... the shorts!! Yes, the Shorts of Jake!! Please let us see them, for we have come far and we are tired and weary.
penny for the baby, suh, penny for the baby!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post today Special.
ReplyDeletePenny for the baby
ROFLMAO!
Do you suposed Ted is so persistent in going after Jake because of BT? And I do think that maybe he was treating Austin with kid gloves a bit, but not anymore.
Anyone have any ideas what the rumors are about Shantel?
There has been a lot talk about Shantel and Rob, and Austin out with Shantel, and Sophia with Rob, now James? Damn all bets are off this cast.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how you follow any of that Special, logistically speaking. I tried to find some of the threads on the CW forum and finally gave up. There is no way to search them, and they go on for far too many pages than I have patience to look through, and I wasn't seeing any on Austin. I guess with no searching people just start new threads.
ReplyDeleteStill waiting for Austin interview with E! It still hasn't been on yet.
ReplyDeleteNot many days if they want left to run it before the season starts. What the heck happened to it? Did Seacrest hijack the thing for "safe keeping" or what?
Then again there's this twitter.
Perez Hilton
OTHforum is a little easier to follow but it can do a total nutty too.
Gorgeous day here, off to shoot soccer.
Congratulations to Papa Nichols

how could Jake suddenly produce a 1-2 year old child out of nowhere.
ReplyDeleteReese has had a baby bump for years. So when BT makes his Us Reekly pictorial debut as a newborn toddler swaddled in a size 3T receiving blanket Reeke can say it was a long gestation.
Jake's in Pittsburgh and cruising for coffee. 21st Century Coffee and Starbucks Watch out Austin, I've got some magic beans.
ReplyDeleteC'mon in and try us, Jake. We got some fine coffee, tasty bearclaws and those round things with holes that you and Austin play hoops with.
ReplyDeleteI love how that person said 'Apparently Jake Gyllenhaal is in town because he was just here"
ReplyDeleteLOL. Well, apparently! I suppose he meant, I don't know what he meant! lol.
Dunkin Donuts, that was sharp! lol
And of course 36 months hits one, too.
ReplyDeleteIf Ted could explain how nuptials would help cover for BT, I'd sure appreciate it. Sometimes that man partakes too much of his own dribble.
I agree PR I dont understand at all how Jake marrying reese protects BT. Doesnt make any sense at all. All it does is protect Jake from being seen as gay.
ReplyDeletecruising for coffee
ReplyDeleteUh huh. Coffee.
I just came across this pic.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry about having the beard in it LOL so don't look at that part. See Atticus's front left paw. Have the toes been amputated or do dogs retract their toes like that when they take a step? I don't have a dog so I don't know but it just looks odd to me. If for some reason his toes were removed (got caught in something like a lawnmower?) then it could be why we never see Jake walking him or at the dog parks anymore. Can anyone here tell whether his paw is normal or been amputated? Thanks.
Huh. Well, that's interesting, asdf. Is it just the angle of the shot? I can't tell but it does look like something's up with that left paw. I don't see the nails or toes. Is it just because in that shot his paw is up in the air?
ReplyDeleteMaybe someone can zoom it up better than I can.
asdf... i think his paw looks fine. it's just an odd angle that makes it look shorter than the other.
ReplyDeletere: the earlier conversation: i can't see them marrying. what possible reason could reese have to marry him? if this is just all for show/convenience, which is what i still believe, then she has nothing to gain by marrying him at all, and everything to lose. he can't help her with her career, she makes tons more money than him, she's already got 2 beautiful children and a decent reputation - at least with the general public - as being a nice, normal person in a sea of weirdness and over-the-topness. i don't think most people see her like we do, and who knows - maybe they're right and we're wrong. i don't think so, but still - i think it's important to concede that we're just going on closer than normal observation, not hard info.
anyway, my point: jake is the one in the Needy Seat here. he still needs to look straight. she can ditch him now and be on her own and not seem pathetic or dumped, but if that happened, he would probably have a harder time recovering. he's said he wants a child - i think he maybe thought that would happen with her (i'm one of the BT disbelievers) but i can't see her doing that either. why? she's got her kids and it would probably play hell on her body; keeping in shape isn't easy for any of us, and it would probably be really hard for her after #3.
this sounds so evil, and i don't mean it to be cruel, but for real, with her, he really seems to have no place other than as a Pretty Boy Toy. it's not as bad as Madonna and jesus or wtfe she's dragging around at the moment, but it's close. and it's not like Brittany and whoever she's with either, because B actually seems to need a man. Reese doesn't give off the need vibe at all; she could be on her own tomorrow and be fine. i think she needed him for a while, as a crutch to get over ryan, but i think that's over and his time is very likely running out.
jmho. hugs. s.
Do they make size 3-Toddler receiving blankets? Does this mean I have to wait another 2 years until I can walk? OTOH breastfeeding for another year might not be a bad thing.... no wait, if it's with fake mama no thanks I'll take a bottle please. Make that vodka.
ReplyDelete"Maybe someone can zoom it up better than I can."
ReplyDeletePrairie girl you're using the + to get it into full page mode? Just checking lol because sometimes people don't know!. Also if your browser is FireFox you can have a Zoom Image addon put on, I have it and I love it. Any image I just right click and get a menu of whatever dimensions I want to view the pic in.
Anyway I can't tell no matter how much I zoom it lol because I'm unfamiliar with dog paws. This pic seems to be the latest one of him. I compared it with older pics and you can see his toes. Maybe its the angle like sienna said. I don't know.
" 36 months said...
ReplyDeletehow could Jake suddenly produce a 1-2 year old child out of nowhere."
I believe someone asked Ted once if the public knew about toothy's child, he said no it was not public. In Hollywood, having a secret child is not difficult if you really want to keep it a secret.
What's the difference between a gay man having a secret baby and a married man in hollywood who fathered a child outside his marriage and the public doesn't know about it till decades later.
For years there has been the rumor or some say fact of Janet Jackson having a baby from her first marriage as a teenager and she gave the baby to her oldest sister to raise. The father of the baby supposedly confirmed the story. Janet kept her second marriage a secret until the divorce.
But that being said, I don't see how Jake could stomach a relationship with her unless he really loves her.
ReplyDeleteI just clicked on it once and it zoomed up for me but I couldn't quite tell, asdf. It does look funny but I can't tell if it's the angle or not. It would seem odd that ol' Reese is walking him here though if indeed his paw was impaired somehow.
ReplyDeleteHuh, funny how we never saw Reese walking Atticus anymore. She only did that when Jake was out of the country and she was in the States.
So since they've both been back in the States since December, there's no need for her to have anymore quality time with her "beau's" dog. As usual, what a joke.
I miss the Jake & Atticus pictures, though. The last time we saw them together in a pic was when Reeke was out with RDJ & his wife the day after Christmas, remember that? The big double date event that was broadcast all over the world in surround sound to prove that Reeke did indeed socialize & play well with others?
asdf, call me pg - shorter to type!
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to download "Baby, I Love You" by the Ronettes and they are not to be found. Amazon.com has a "Best Of" that costs like $70 some dollars new. Holy cow!! And it looks like their lead singer was maybe Ronnie Spector? The gal who sang with Eddie Money? That Ronnie Spector?
I love that song, too. There's got to be a way around this. I don't know if I can download off of Pandora's Box. I was told about Pandora's Box but I haven't tried it.
Music Luvah, where've you been???
Sorry for the three posts in a row, but I forgot that I saw on Defamer where Ellen Degeneres is the new 4th judge on AI. Congrats to Ellen. I may watch again this season just to hear her. That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteAnd since I'm on here, can I just say that I don't want to be told anymore by our government not to worry about healthcare. The more they keep saying not to worry about it, the more I am.
That's great news about Ellen.
ReplyDeleteRonnie was indeed the lead singer of the Ronettes, one of the great women singers of that era.
I think keeping a baby hidden is different when you actually give the baby away and/or the woman who gave birth to him or her actually raises the baby. Something like that I would think is pretty easy to hide. And a baby/toddler is probably pretty easy to hide. But what about when the kid goes to school and makes friends? And if you have a child and are raising it you should be the one taking him or her out to do things: the zoo, the park, Disneyland, vacations, etc. What are Jake and Austin going to do when BT is older, if he or she really exists. Have the nanny do everything (something we make fun of Reese for doing)? Keep the child a prisoner and home school him or her, limit the friends, never go anywhere in public with him or her??????
I agree, Destiny, a baby would be much easier to hide until he/she grows older. But then look at Michael Jackson's kids. You rarely saw them in public.
ReplyDeleteSurely, his kids had to be out and about with him more often than when they were photographed with him. And I recall that interview quote from Jon Bon Jovi where he said he struck a deal with the paparazzi on taking picures of his kids. He said he made himself accessible to the paps if they would leave his kids alone.
But what I would really like to know is how Ted thinks BT is a secret in HW when he's just blabbed all over the cyber world about BT and BT2's existence! LOL! What in the heck is that guy going on about? Don't you think now that other people have asked Jake or Austin about him/her?? This is what puzzles me. How do you keep the circle of those in the know so small and quiet?
If Reese knows, then how could Ryan Philippe not know? Wouldn't you think the 2 kids, particularly Ava, have seen some odd things going on?
I dunno. It's just mindboggling.
Okay, I did find Baby I Love You for $17.98 or something like that on Amazon.com. Why are some things so expensive like that? Because they're imports, I guess?
Well, time to hit the hay.It has been quite the full day. And so nice to know I don't have to get up in the morning if I don't have to.
My late friend Mark had this incredible box set of Spector Girl Groups, and it was on when a group of us,were over cooking dinner, hanging out for cocktails or just sitting around the table talking after the coffee was gone.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever heard Joey Ramone's cover of Baby I Love You. Love it.
H.E.L.P. No matter what music I listen to I've had the $%&#! theme from L&O/L&O CI/L&O SVU going thru my head for the last week.
ReplyDeleteCure for an earworm Listen at your own risk.
ReplyDeleteMy late friend Mark had this incredible box set of Spector Girl Groups, and it was on when a group of us,were over cooking dinner, hanging out for cocktails or just sitting around the table talking after the coffee was gone.
ReplyDeleteSounds heavenly, Spesh. Baby I Love You is such a heavenly song.
Is it me, or do the beginning chords of Blackbird sound like the beginning of The Wings from Brokeback? :)
I love The Ramones, but I love Ronnie Spector's voice. :)
ReplyDeleteMahnahmahnah!
ReplyDeleteHeavenly Choir, I thought that, too!! I didn't realize it at first, but then it just hit me all of a sudden. sigh.
ReplyDeleteThey have the Ramones' version in I-Tunes of Baby, I Love You and it did sound really intriguing. I bet they have it in YouTube; I'll check it out.
What a sweet song. I just love it.I think it was in Four Weddings and a Funeral, if I remember right with Hugh Grant and Andie McDowell. That's the first time I heard it. The opening instrumental is a great build up for the first chorus.
So I wonder whatever happened to Ronnie Spector. I'm pretty sure she sang on that song of Eddie Money's. Course, that was back in the 80's, now that I think about it, lol. How time flies.
Good morning, everyone!!!! It's Thursday!!
It is clear that celebrities can do things to avoid having pictures of their children taken and/or used in tabloids.
ReplyDeleteWhat J&A could not avoid is twitter and "civilian" sightings, unless they are just not going out with BT. Again, I ask, what kind of life is that. Even Michael Jackson took his kids out, even if he did put those stupid covers over their faces. And he moved to what, Bahrain, Abu Dhabi or similar place, which is why you rarely saw him or the kids. But however else Michael Jackson may have been a very messed up person in a lot of ways, but he clearly took pride in having children and having the world know he had them, while also taking steps to protect their privacy.
Man, I never thought I'd see the day when I was talking about the virtue of Michael Jackson's parenting skills. How fucked up is that.
Hey, check out how short Austin's shorts are in that last picture. Gee whiz, lol.
ReplyDeleteAnd even though Jake has a beard in this one, it is sharp looking and no, I'm not saying that just because he's with Austin, lol (I know I can hear the peanut gallery already). It's trimmed and his hair is looking good & thick there, too. Maybe it's the sunglasses, too. Shades always add that extra oooomph to a look.
The more I study it, that's a pretty hot looking picture. This must be the set where someone was doing the bicycle? lol. You don't see people doing that one too much anymore,do you?
3rd in the world. I'd love to see Austin do some water skiing. What does a person do in water skiing competitions? Tricks? Like moving the ropes under your legs and skiing backwards, stuff like that? Surely there's more to it than stunts like you see at Cypress Gardens if they have world championships. I know nothing about water skiing. I've never tried it; can't get past the fear of falling into the water. I've snow skiied but I didn't care for that and never got off of the bunny slope, lol.
Have any of you guys water or snow skiied before? I bet it hurts when you hit that water. I bet Wicked has water skiied.
manamanah. lol. Remember that commercial? I don't even recall what that commercial was for.
ReplyDeleteDestiny, I agree. It isn't any kind of life really. It's not fair to the child at all; really, it's selfishness on the part of the parents when you get right down to it.
The child doesn't ask to be born and the child is going to be full of unconditional love the minute he/she is under their parents' care. They are fully trusting of their parent(s) to keep them safe and let them experience the same things that their friends do.
And that's just it. If they have to be kept a secret, that right off the bat is just not fair to that child. They're going to know there's something different about them from the get go.
This whole thing is just incredible to think about. It seems crazy to be true but yet Ted keeps talking about it and it could explain some things about the bearding. It could explain why sometimes Jake has been fierce & unnaturally angry towards the paps. Who knows how close the paps have sometimes gotten to seeing BT. NOT that it calls for driving recklessly or anything like that, but it could explain a protective nature.
The whole thing is just enough to drive you nuts. We just don't know. But I know that I see that little footprint on the Shorts of Jake. And regardless of everything I feel or the whole frustration of it all, just seeing that little footprint still gives me a chill. I can't explain it. It would still be Jake's baby and that thought just thrills me to death because I would've given about anything to see that kid bouncing on his legs.
I know, laugh all you want or worse yet, shoot a marshmallow gun at me. That's how I feel.
But at the same time, if he persists in trying to look like Reese's kids stepdad, that sure saps any sentiment right out of me. That just is not right. No matter what.
Those Jaustin field pics are hilarious. No straight guys work out in such close proximity to each other with the crotch of their shorts in the other's face. Those pics alone point to a physical closeness and comfort level found only in the bedroom.
ReplyDeleteAnother Baby Tile and Beard mention from Ted today. It is a puzzlement to say the least. Maybe the baby was spotted recently and that's why so much chatter the last few days. Jake and Austin were both in LA so apt to be out and about where they might get seen. Clearly the older the child gets, the harder it is going to be to keep it a secret.
ReplyDeleteDear Ted:
ReplyDeleteCan you give us an update on Baby Tile?
—Kitty
Dear Crybaby:
Just that I can't wait to read the kid's tell-all. Daddie Fearest, I assume it'll be called.
Dear Ted:
I think I am becoming obsessed with "beards." Are they so shallow as to enter into a fake relationship just for the attention from the press for themselves…and to cover for someone who is in the closet? I mean, Ted, what's in it for them? And why do closeted celebrities feel they have to stay in the closet? Haven't we made any strides at all in this country? Am I naive?
—P.K.
Dear Forward Thinker:
Only naive to the Biz, hon-cake. You don't see Neil Patrick Harris or T.R. Knight (whom we both adore) getting offered parts in big flicks where guy gets girl, do ya? That's the fear of the closeted actor. As for the beard, a lot of them have secrets they need covered, too. Not to mention they're often vicarious to the max.
The Awful Truth
lol, Classic.

ReplyDeleteI can't call it the Shroud of BT; that seems too blasphemous.
ReplyDeleteThere's got to be another name for that little imprint. Come on, you guys, you're the cleverest bunch I know. Let's come up with a name for that Little Footprint.
Scroll down for Flynet frozen yogurt reeke pics from last week
ReplyDeleteThank you to whoever posted the Yogurt pics. Very telling.
ReplyDelete1. Jake not only walked ahead coming out of the store but he did going in, too.
2. Why is he carrying another cup and 2 more in a bag? Who are those for?!
3. Was he in the car with the rest of them or did they meet in the parking lot?
4. Reese drove.
5. Some "stepfather" - not only does he walk ahead without any thought to the kids but the Chin is the one putting them back in the car. So if he came with them, he went back to the car and hopped in his front seat and waited for everyone else to get in, lol.
6. #5 makes me believe he arrived and left in a separate car. Unless he really did hop in and take care of himself and didn't give a shit about anyone else.
7. IMO Jake looks very distant and disconnected from all of them. Not family-ish like Us Reekly and PR wants it to look like.
^^^ Some photo ops are better, some worse - no one can pretend all the time, not even good Hollywood actors.
ReplyDelete8. Aha! Isn't that a parked Camry just like Jake's in 2 of the pics, the ones of them walking in?!
ReplyDelete
