Sparkling

Yesterday pictures of Jake at the US Open :

1) he does have a commitment to sparkle motion

2) MAN, he loves.... tennis

3) Solid Gold Dancer or Headbangers Ball ... advantage ...






Couldn't go without at least one from last night's One Tree Hill, too good not to share. First time we've seen Austin work the formal wear with a bow tie.




And it is with sadness we mark the passing of Patrick Swayze. Known for stealing hearts in Dirty Dancing and Ghost he also took chances that lead him to two cult classic movies, Point Break and of course Donnie Darko. He took a risk playing Jim Cunnigham, and did it fearlessly.

  2. Such a clever post -

    My favorite Patrick Swayze movie is Dirty Dancing. Will miss Patrick very much. :*

    Crap! I missed OTH last night, I was out and I thought for some reason it came on at 9:00 pm. :( I hope it will be repeated, or that I can catch it online. Austin looks incredible in that tux.

  3. I forgot for a moment about Ghost! Loved Patrick and Demi in that, so romantic. *sigh*

  4. Ever seen Waiting for Godot passingby?

  5. Passingby,

    you are right. All that time and nothing has changed - Austin still doesn't have a girlfriend!

    ReplyDelete
  6. So, passerby, your timeline goes like this:

    Austin and Sophia start dating, go to a party in NY (with Jake and Austins mutual friend there). Sophia touched Austins leg so they must be an item.

    No more mentions about them being seen anywhere together.

    Austin and Sophia still dating, but all "reports" placing him as dating Hilary (someone on the internet said it so it's true).

    Austin goes to Italy comes back and talks about falling in love with Italian women (true, because he said so) while still dating Sophia.

    Less than two months later Austin and Sophia, who - almost a year after they rekindled their romance - don't want to tell their families about the relationship yet, go to NY and are making out at parties in front of other people (true because someone on the internet said so).

    Is that it? That is the story you're trying to sell here? Wow, you certainly made me see the light now...

  7. So according to you meeting or going out with a friend (like N. Portman for ex.) who happens to be a woman is "bearding"?

    Gay men don´t have female friends?


    Of course they do!!

    But at the time it was presented in the tabloids as love matches for Jake.
    There were even pictures of Nat and Jake where the magazine had added hearts and flowers around it.

    So it was presented by PR as dating.

  8. Jake at the Open is over at Just Jared.

    Just Jared


    And a comment at JJ put a name to the actor and friend of Peter & Maggie's that Stubborn was talking about earlier.

    The man talking to Jake in the second picture is actor, Ebon Moss-Bachrach. He is friends with Peter Sarsgaard and worked with him and Jake’s sister Maggie on the movie High Falls.

  9. I do wonder if Jake is still thinking about doing Rock of Ages. Would love to see him get his 80's hairband on.

    ReplyDelete
  10. ^^I'd like that too - I have to say, some of those songs I adore, especially Journey. I'd love to hear Jake sing. He does look great in these pics.

    M, that was a beautiful quote from NPH about his partner - :)

  11. Nice to see a real smile from Jake. Must be that sparkle motion.

    Very funny timeline Stubborn, and so true.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I don't think there was ever a serious relationship with Sophia & Austin until now. Who even knows if it is serious or not.

    I think they went on few dates after she split from her ex-husband. Nothing became of it and they remained friends.

    I think that they hooked up sometime near that new york trip, which it was very clear they didn't want to be photographed together. Perhaps at the time they both were seeing other people and didn't want it to get out that they hooked up.

    It didn't amount to anything and now for some strange reason he was the only guy they could find to cast as her loveinterest on the show she happens to be one of the stars of for 5+ seasons before AN arrives.

    Something changed is all I'm saying.

    ReplyDelete
  13. I sort of think Sophia did have something to do with Austin being cast in OTH, but as a favour to a friend, a very good friend. Remember, he was only originally cast for a few episodes, and it was only once he'd proved himself with all the cast and producers that his stint got extended.

    Nice also to see Jake looking half decent for once, funny how loosing the beard can improve appearance 10 fold.

    Very sad about Patrick Swayze, he seemed like a nice guy, might have to (re)watch dirty dancing tonight in tribute.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Sorry, another point in response to passing by. If you don't want to be noticed you don't wander around a crowded city in what is basically underwear (Sophia) with a man (Austin) wearing one of the most ridiculous (but hideously cute) bird feather t-shirts. I can't think of two more 'look at me' outfits really.

    They posed for pictures together with Sophias hand on Austins thigh (remember, it's the pictures that proves to you that they hooked up) because they wanted to keep their hook-up a secret?!?

    It didn't amount to anything and now for some strange reason he was the only guy they could find to cast as her loveinterest on the show she happens to be one of the stars of for 5+ seasons before AN arrives.

    Yes, clearly Austin only got the role on OTH because of his then hook-up-while-dating-other-people (remember, it only got serious a few weeks ago according to you) with Sophia.
    Not because he's been on several tv shows and has build himself a good reputation. And definitely not because Sophia has recommended him as a friend. Only hook-ups slash lovers do this.

    ReplyDelete
  16. LOL Meg.

    Even good old "I don't know why Jake is gay, I mean, he doesn't know how to dress, look at those poorly fitting pants" Lainey thinks Austin is gay. After those walking on the beach pictures Lainey warned Sophia that she would get her heart broken because her current boyfriend was "gay as glitter."

  17. I've not posted in awhile, dealing with relocating from PHX to BOS. Settled in Winthrop, two-bedroom cottage on the beach. Will always remember Patrick Swayze as Miss Vida Bohemme in "To Wong Foo..." Haven't been to Fenway yet, but watching the games on NESN!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Hi E.V. tb. Glad to hear you're settling in , and a cottage on the beach sounds nice, even if it'll be awfully cold this winter after PHX.

    I completely forgot Patrick was in To Wong Foo.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Ugh. I don't know why Jake is gay should say I don't know why people think Jake is gay

    It's gorgeous day up here, beautiful hint of a fall, but yeah a bit chillier than PHX. ; )

  21. He got the role because he is talented, but I don't think they would have offered him the part if he it wasn't going to be ok with Sophia. I doubt they would just go out and cast somebody as her love interest and not run it by her first, especially since she is one of the stars of the show, a show that was in it's sixth season.

    It may have been her and Austin's idea, knowing that they were casting the role, she could have suggested him for it or their agent may have gotten involved.

    My point is, I doubt the show was going to go out and cast this role to somebody she personally knows (they both said they went on a few dates and that they were friends)if she it was going to be awkward for her.

    He is clearly a catch for the show and a great casting choice. So it's not me saying she would be the sole reason he got this role or that he was offered it.
    But I'm sure it was discussed between them and TPTB before he accepted. It's not just working together, it's also living in the same small sleepy town very close to the other person.

    ReplyDelete
  22. You just made one of the best arguments yet for why they are so clearly just friends.

  23. My point is, I doubt the show was going to go out and cast this role to somebody she personally knows (they both said they went on a few dates and that they were friends)if she it was going to be awkward for her.

    Name me one person here who said that Sophia is uncomfortable about Austin being on OTH.
    You haven't really responded to out points nor have you posted one single link to the blogs of Austins many "friends" who are posting about his private life for the world to see.

    And now we're down to they said they were dating (Sophia also said they weren't, why don't you believe her that time?) and are friends.

    We've all been saying here that Sophia and Austin are good friends, they're comfortable with each other and Sophia isn't unhappy about Austin being on set. So why all these posts if you're just going to end up saying what we've been saying the whole time?

  38. Aren't tickets to the Tennis Open (like most tourneys) based on the game phase? IIRC the Open was delayed 1-2 days because of rain. It's possible that Reeke was planning a US Open photo op at the Men's Finals but the Chin had to go back to Philly Sunday night.

    If they were planning it you gotta wonder if it was so Jake could go and gawk at the men while being "safe" with the beard. And if it was meant to be with M&P or any combo of them if there were only 3 seats.

    ReplyDelete
  39. It is nice to see some fimiliar names checking in. I wish we could see them more often.

    Jake seems to love tennis. It looks like he had a really time time. What an interesting tournament. Clisters and Del Potro pulled off amazing wins.

    I sure wish it was me who got to hug and kiss Nadal.


    Off to watch the finale of Big Brother. Tonight may be the first time a gay person will win.

  42. Jake's been at least 2 US Opens. Has he ever mentioned playing tennis? Austin was in Wimbledon so he must play. I wonder where they play, at home or at a club. IF Jake and Austin moved I bet it was to a place that has private courts in the community (like Brentwood Country Estates which might explain why Jake is near Reese's area a lot) or home that has its own court.

    ReplyDelete
  43. What's Brentwood Country Estates got to do with anything? Who lives there besides Arnold Schwazenegger?

  44. Wow! Just recognized today's tune from "Donnie Darko". Samantha Darko & "Sparkle in Motion" with Beth Grant, who, coincidentally, was also in "To Wong Foo..."

    ReplyDelete
  45. E.V. tb I love Beth Grant! She's been in almost everything! She makes the HW 6 degrees of separation game easy as pie. What a long fruitful career and she's still practically unknown by most audiences.

    ReplyDelete
  46. As much as I love her as Mrs. Farmer, my favorite Beth Grant role is Sissy Hickey in Sordid Lives.

    And she's in Mike Judge's new movie Extract.

  48. I don't know whether to laugh or feel sorry for Jake and the ONTDer who did the "Jake at US Open" post. It was taken over by spammers saying a post about the guy who won the Open is more important than Jake so they posted a million pics and comments about the Open winner guy.

    ReplyDelete
  49. There's a lot of celebs sitting near Jake. Tony Bennett, Bruce Willis (who looks like he's afraid of smiling because his dentures might fall out) and I swear that dark haired girl is an actress and a few of the other guys are actors. I'm good at recognizing faces but really bad at names so if any of you know then spill!

    We frequently see this heartthrob going to the gym, playing sports with his friends, and otherwise leading a healthy lifestyle. If he is so concerned about his health, why isn’t he taking more precautions when he engages in certain intimate activities? We’re talking about bareback here, folks, and there are no horses involved. Considering his track record, you would think that his current girlfriend would insist on him wearing a raincoat 24/7. (Blind Gossip)


    Jakey G's precious mug immediately popped up in my head, but he doesn't seem like the manskank type. I'll throw his name in the guess jar anyway. I'll also add Gerard Butler, KFed (joooking), Mario Lopez or Matthew McConaughey?

  54. Ryan and ScarJo Head Into Gyllenspoon Territory

    Leave it to Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson to finally be spotted out in public together—and we can't even see their faces! Ry and ScarJo took a wild ride on Reynolds' motorcycle in L.A., and all we can do is yawn.

    It's totally heatless!

    Scarlett, if we were gripping a tight bod like Ry-Ry's we would hold onto his muscles for dear life—maybe even throw a leg or two around his ripped waist just to remind all those fantasizing girls out there that that's what you get to do in private, too.

    We never get to see two of the most gorgeous people on the planet, who just happen to be married, out together ever.

    Scar and Ry have been the butt of a few rumors surrounding their marriage—that not all is well in paradise—but they still like being around each other enough to sit close 'n' tight on a hog, we guess. Sure, a "wild" bike ride trumps Jake and Reese's standard latte hangouts, but Rarlett has so much more potential than Gyllenspoon that it pains us to see them throw their yummyness away for a bad set of helmet hair.

    Show us some sexy, you two! Even Robsten manages to do it better and they are way more on the down-low.

  58. Saw a link to upcoming movies by Peter Travers of Rolling Stone. Basically what to look for, what to avoid. A minute at most devoted to each film. No mention of Brothers at all even though he mentioned movies opening into December. But he said Heath might get his 2nd posthumous Oscar based on his performance in Parnassus.

  60. Ms. Cornish, an Australian actress whose previous films include “Stop-Loss,” “Candy” and “Somersault,” has, at 27, achieved a mixture of unguardedness and self-control matched by few actresses of any age or nationality. She’s as good as Kate Winslet, which is about as good as it’s possible to be.

  69. Very sad about Ted's marriage. It's tough to divorce, even when its a mutual decision. I noticed that he had not talked about his partner in a while, but did not give it much thought. Being a public figure just makes it worse since all his readers now know, and he was so proud of the marriage. I feel really bad for him.
