While most avoid things on Friday the 13th, ladders, hockey masked camp staff with chainshaws, black cats, here at OMG we embrace the Gray Goose , the number 13 and a bat or two.
Austin again is doing his civic duty. This time at the signing of the new NC Film legislation, good both for the economy of North Carolina, and another positive step for small and independent films as well as larger budget productions being made outside of Hollywood.
Thank you to Spooky and Vesperlynd for the great pictures from yesterdays signing. Check out all the great pictures and posts over at Austin Nichols Journal.
Governor Perdue looks about as tall as Sophia in these pictures, and you can see how Austin how far he has to bend down to hug it out. And you know that he turned on all his natural Southern Charm, and who could resist that?
Check out the video of the cast and Gov. Perdue. Especially Mr. Nichols at the end.
episodes are in the can more than half of OTH Season 7 is done. Can we expect more Austin in the back 9+ ? Will Julian get to make a
Austin has talk about a Notebook kind of romance for Brooke and Julian. Really? Seriously.. Really? Cause it is seems so not that and more like The Devil wears Prada and has a boyfriend instead. (And no I don't mean Annie either)
Enough to make you batty, or drink a batinni. The millions of bats in Austin may have gone further south for the winter, but that doesn't mean you can't drink till their return. The Four Seasons Hotel in Austin is one of the best places to watch the annual evening flight of the bats under the Congress Bridge. They have also won the best Batini in Austin several times.

2 ounces Tito's Handmade Vodka "infused" with fresh thyme
1 ounce peach schnapps
Shake ingredients and serve straight up. Garnish with frozen peach slices carved in the shape of bats.
I am extremely superstitious, yet the number 13 is super lucky for me. Good things always happen to me when the number 13 is involved so I embraced it, even as a child. Bats on the other hand, I hate. I see them near my house at dusk every so often and they give me the creeps.
ReplyDeleteYou can really see the charm oozing out of Austin in that picture.
Agree too with the statement about Brulian on OTH. It's become way too sappy for my taste. I only watch for Buckely and Austin.
Jake and Naomi love Sprinkles Cupcakes
ReplyDeleteThe storm is almost here PG, its on the Cape right now, but a lot of it is breaking up over the water. We will still get rain but not like down South.
ReplyDeleteThe one thing that I still have trouble getting used to is how early it gets dark now. It was a gray day, but when set is around 4:15 it gets dark so stinking early.
New England winters are all about hibernating, we go to work in the dark and come home in the dark and everyone just hunkers down.
13 is one of my and my family's lucky numbers, so I get what said M.
If Austin is that charming there, can you even imagine how much charm he used when he and Jake met?
One Daringly Domesticated Blind Vice
ReplyDeletePoor Judas Jack-Off. He now has it as bad as permanently closeted movie star Toothy Tile. Only, I fear Judas is not even pretending to be happy, quite unlike Toothy.
Remember, our very handsome and very unkind Judas is still trying to get the ditched BF to have sex, all the while out prancing to the gullible world with his gorgeous girlfriend—whenever there's an available photo op, that is.
But whereas Toothy actually likes hanging with the beard at home and out with the kids, Judas doesn't, at least not as much.
Maybe that's the reason Judas has suggested to the GF, whom he glumly now lives with, that they should both take up...
...flying. As in, in a plane. As in 37,000 feet in the air. These two beauties are supposed to take their lives in their own hands, all 2012-like, and fly over Los Angeles like it's a damn movie set, or something?
Now, either this is a true effort on Judas' part to make their prearranged living arrangement genuinely more exciting (i.e., bearable), or Mr. J.J. is planning on using one of those parachutes that go up with these schooling planes and jumping off with his after the dimpled girlfriend's chute suddenly disappears, or better, yet, malfunctions?
It's all just too weird, too much. The sudden interest in having a hobby together (and a life-threatening one, at that), after getting shacked up in a living sitch Judas has never wanted to be in the first place. What's up, Judey?
But then, some guys are just p--sies when their managers and their agents tell them to stay put and figure out how to make it look real. Know what I mean, Toothy?
Don't go up in that plane with Judas whatever you do, girlfriend!
And It Ain't: Jake Gyllenhaal, Lance Armstrong, Matthew McConaughey
Well it is sure beginning to look like the bearding has worked. Keep celebrating fan club and enjoy the 20-30 years of Jake being in the closet ahead of you.
ReplyDeleteHunker down, Special!! And don't go near the water.
ReplyDeleteThis storm has been very serious for some as it's traveled. The winds and the rain is what's been bad, I guess.
Getting ready to leave for a little outdoor campfire thing. Looking forward to the hot dogs and marshmallows. But boy, it is downright cold! I have a T shirt on under my sweatshirt and I'm wearing my winter coat because that wind is cold.
I would like to comment on that BV of Ted's but we're getting ready to go. All I can say right now is there's no way Jake likes "hanging out with the beard's kids".
That is such a laugh, Ted. What is Ted smoking at his desk? Does he have something funny hidden in one of his drawers?
I have a problem with thinking of Jake hanging out with Reese at home??? Is this when Austin is on set??? What the heck? What do they do besides cook all that stuff from Whole Foods, lol??
I swear, what Ted utters sometimes. It wouldn't surprise me if Jake does hang with Reese at one of their homes'. All this food that they pick up @ Whole Foods all the time, they must eat meals together. Does she not have absolutely anyone besides Jake who actually likes her? Who wants to be her friend and hang with her? And where would this leave a BT??
Ted makes no sense sometimes. I've all but given up on him. He contradicts himself constantly and I don't have the patience to try and figure out what is sarcasm, what is tongue in cheek, what is what.
The one thing I strongly argue is him talking about Jake liking to be out with her kids. That is bullcrap. All one has to do is look at 98% of the pictures they've done with those kids and it's plain as day those kids hardly know him.
Okay, I'm off after that spouting! LOLL!

Well if Brothers really does do well and get nominated, not only will this mean that Reeke will go on for a couple of more years (because I'm betting that Jake will view this as a reward of bearding), but Reese will be stuck to Jake's side. As PR desperate as she is, she would probably try to fuck him on a red carpet so that she could get some of that Oscar attention for herself and be part of all the Award season hoopla. Bet she will have no problem talking about their "great love" or walking red carpets with Jak
I do hope the fan club will truly enjoy this.
With Maggie getting good award buzz for Crazy Heart I wouldn't be at all surprised if the G-sibs wouldn't show up together if they both are nominmated. Maggie might get the nom, but the buzz from Precious makes it look like its going to get best actress wrapped up. Knowing she's a long shot, go with her brother and Peter can stay with Ramona.
ReplyDeleteHarvey Levin on TMZ TV about Robsten: "I knew they were together when they were fighting at that elevator. Now that's a couple."
ReplyDeleteAnother Ted comment later on "Not to worry, though, they still bike 'n' sweat together, just not as often as we'd like to see." This was about Lance & Matthew with Jake, but was this really a message to us about Austin & Jake?
ReplyDeletebut was this really a message to us about Austin & Jake? ******
ReplyDelete^ ^ NO
This was about Lance & Matthew with Jake, but was this really a message to us about Austin & Jake?
ReplyDeleteThat was what I thought when I read it M.
Cute that the owner talked about Jake and his mom coming in for Sprinkle cupcakes together. Love that she said the the staff swoon when he comes in.
Tom, I saw that comment too on WFT2and I am beginning to think that would very well be the case.
ReplyDeleteI would like to see Brothers & PoP do well for him because if they don't? It could be a drought for him, although he's got enough irons in the fire now that it doesn't seem likely. I have a feeling that Brothers will do well. PoP, I'm not sure about. I can see it having a gigantic opening weekend but will it have the staying power? Don't have any idea.
The thing is? If PoP explodes at the box office and ends up turning into sequels and all the merchandise that goes along with it, I think you will see Jake encased in plexiglass in bearding. And I would look for him to go the Tom Cruise/John Travolta route. I really would. I could see him & old Iron Maiden finally doing it then with kids to boot.
And another reason why I also think this would fly is because at this point, I don't think Austin has a problem with Reeke at all. If Austin can put up with 3 years of this and now tack on his own dog & pony show with Sophia, then this tells me that he has absolutely no problem with it. He accepts it and he endorses it. Heck, maybe Sophin can set up their own shack across the street from Reeke and they can all play cards & dominoes on Friday nights. BT & BT2 can play with Ava & Deacon, Atticus can play with what in the heck's her dog's name anyway, Brutus?
lol. I know that's alot of tongue in cheek there but I am all serious when I say I agree with that commenter if PoP does well. I think you can kiss lil' Jakey's ass goodbye.If Austin is willing to do his own bearding then he's not going to have any problem with his guy marrying just so they can both do whatever. Geez, it's all such a sicko, weirdo thing they've all got going on now. I don't know how on earth they know who they really are without a dance card at this point.
And this is a big if Austin & Jake are even still together at all anymore. I really have my doubts right now because I'm not seeing any signs or possibilities of them even being able to see each other.
Hey, had a great time out at the lake tonight. Campfire. Dogs. Marshmallows. Aldi baked beans. Hey, Aldi's has some awesome baked beans. But boy, we sure did get back late. And I have to get up early to go into work. Bleh!! No walking tomorrow. I'll be dead on my feet.
Lots to do tomorrow so no rest for the weary. My plant is working 3 shifts tomorrow; we are churning out product like there's no tomorrow and it's going out the door as fast as it's coming out of the machines, lol.
Guess everyone's asleep. I'm talking to myself. Glad if everyone will put up with my Jaustin rant. I'm just not feeling it right now. Not feeling it, haven't been seeing it for quite awhile. So I guess it's not really a Jaustin rant. It's a Jake rant and an Austin rant.
If someone can point out what weekend in the past 6 months these 2 guys could have possibly crossed paths, I'll more than love to listen.
Geez, it's all such a sicko, weirdo thing they've all got going on now.
ReplyDeleteWhen was being in a heterosexual relaysh sicko & weirdo?
Oh wait, I forgot about which fantasy site I'm reading
Oh hush, deluded. Nice to see you sitting on OMG 24/7 waiting to see something to nibble and chew at.
ReplyDeleteYou're not comprehending my statement at all but then you don't want to, so why waste my time?
You know, actually I think the trolls and pr have a secret thing themselves for Austin&Jake. They must in order to sit on the site 24/7, staring at the posts, opening them up & seeing the pictures over & over & over & over & over.
Over & over & over & over & over.
Over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over & over
You know, when you comment, that comment window pops up and in the background you usually have one of the pictures of the guys in your background. Little peekieboo. Whoops! There they are. Oh! Let me do that again! What can I say now? Hmmmm, nice pic of Austin there in his boxer briefs...Jake in his towel...hey, you know what? In the same screen, those guys are pretty smokin' hot together. Not too bad if I say so myself. Not a bad gig getting paid to sit on this site and have to look at that.
Yeah, we know how you are. Denial is tough to deal with, I know.
Hey guys!! Good moooooorning! Groan. Oh gahhhh, I'm beat. Whoops, gotta run! I told my buddymate I'd be in @ 6. He's shooting for 7.

ReplyDeleteHey PR I said a week or so ago that I thought that is was better that were talking about Jakes career than reeke. I still believe that is true but it is impossible for me to seperate the two right now. I know that reeke dosent have anything to do with his acting abilities but it has everything to do with him getting jobs and bringing folks to see his movies. You can bet that is also the way he sees it. Kinda sad that he will have reeke to thank for his success for the rest of his career and not himself or his abilities. Jake right now totally feels reeke has saved his career.
ReplyDeleteAlso until I see def evidence I do not believe there is any BT. I think Ted either flat out lied or got that one wrong. I also dont think that Jake and Austin are still together. I think they probably are still friends and speak on the phone but cannot be together. So until I see evidence that they are still seeing each other I believe that they have split.
At this point I think the acting in Brothers will get decent reviews. It appears that Tobey will be the star and it was why he was elevated to Lead. I dont think Jake was demoted to Supporting because he has a better chance at getting any type of Oscar buzz. I see Brothers having a one to two week run with limited venue. Also anyone who thinks PoP will surpass Pirates is probaly smoking weed. Dont see any chance of that happening.
I also now think that we will see less of reeke. I think PR believes it has accomplished what they wanted it to. The comments and ridicule that reeke was generating was making them look like tabloid trash and not very classy at all. It was a horrible display of behavior for two grown people. Plus no one gave a crap about them. They both became two laughable individuals as did the relationship. It accomphished what they wanted but hopefully they see it it time to put it out of its misery.
Last night's Conan O'Brien and Witherspoon:
ReplyDeleteI missed the beginning of Conan with the beard. Idk if she talked or was asked about Jake. This is what I caught:
"I have a dog at home"
"I have a farm"
"I have a pig"
"I have chickens"
^^ Then she would talk about something related to it and use "we" like "we feed the chickens"
Hawked her Avon perfume and the 4C and MvA dvds that are coming out. The "I have a ____ " is funny since it's in the singular. Don't couples say "we" or at least include the other in the story/convo?!!
She said she threw all the candy that didn't get handed out at Halloween in the trash. ??
She also talked (AGAIN) about throwing her garbage in her neighbor's bins, and wearing rubber boots to smash it down. Didn't she tell the same thing on Ellen last year or the year before?
She didn't say anything about her gay bf.
My comments were meant for PG and not PR. Sorry typo.
ReplyDeleteI agree with about all you said, Tom.
ReplyDeleteI had to get on here because I did need to retract my "sicko" word. That was a bad choice.
I'm not sure of the right term for how these guys see themselves. Confused. Denying. Misguided.
I don't think there is a BT either. I just don't see how.
Not with the way Austin is traveling like crazy and how I just do not see how these 2 guys could possibly be getting together anymore. I do not see it.
I think Ted is just sitting at his keyboard and whipping stuff up out of his head.
For right now, (lol, yeah, right now), I think Jake's on his own and Austin is on his own.
heavy sigh.
Okay, back to work.
ITA with your posts Tom, and most of yours PG. Still on the fence when it comes to Austin and Sophia and how he feels about Reeke. Still can't believe he's totally okay with it, more likely just resigned to it. I also don't think they are necessarily still together, and wonder if he isn't hanging with Sophia as M said out of some kind of revenge (I can do it better) and because they are just good friends and he has no one else to travel and hang with, particularly if he wants to get out there and get some publicity. So I go back and forth as to what in the heck he is doing.
ReplyDeleteWe're starting to see magazines for December come out and/or chatter about what will be on those covers. Not a word about Jake. I'd be very surprised if he turns up on one. What magazine is going to think anyone wants to read about bland/tabloid fodder/Reese's boyfirend--especially if, as I suspect, he put that topic and Heath off limits for interviews.
They're not as many women stars as men, and love her or hate her, Reese is on the A list and going to get those covers and interviews.
Not Jake.
PG, by the way, I'm very jealous that you got to go to a lake and hang out around a campfire. Sounds like so much fun. Boy are there times when I really miss living somewhere else, where you can go out and do things like that. Sigh. Sorry you have to work today.
ReplyDeleteCouple more things.
ReplyDeleteHow funny is that the Sprinkles owner says Jake always comes in with his mother, not Reese. And now we can start counting down to photos of Reeke coming out of the bakery or carrying one of their bags.
Two, I saw a picture of Reese on a link at wft2 the past couple of days. She had on shoes that looked more like something Sophia would wear. I bet it is an intentional move. Reese looked ridiculous in them by the way.
Last post for this morning, I promise!
ReplyDeleteAn interesting article about what the author of From Here to Eternity had to cut out of the book and what he had to say about gays in the military; the article is written by his daughter.
