  2. And I don’t want to come across today as coming down any on the guy. I’m just kind of dumbfounded how this whole thing is unraveling and the little aftershocks.

    And while she trashes his image, at least the general sentiment seems to be along the lines of a toast to Jakey being single again. So I think that at least is a good thing. But man, she is taking him down in the process. That US Reekley cover & that article is bad.

    Maybe that’s why he’s looking so mad while shopping. Shopping = memories of Reeke = sour face.

    LOL. Jakey, go back home & seek comfort in the arms of your long tall cool one Mr. A. That’ll surely help.

  4. Another one for the list: Goodbye pretensious Brentwood.

    Shopping at Whole Foods in Weho isn't the same thing. That place is practically synonymous with Reeke, not to mention that was supposed to make people think Jake was shopping for dinner on his way home to the tiny woman.

    And of all the places Jake could have chosen to get himself seen after the breakup, he chooses WeHo, not say, Beverly Hills, another place he waas seen a lot pre and post Reeke.

  5. You hit it SK Cockroachella was the worst. Give me Austin City Limits any day.

    The long national nightmare is over....................

    Thanks be to God.

  6. Special, I love all the menorahs you've come up with this week. I've seem hundreds of them, but I have not seen any of the ones you've used. The tea set today is really a lot of fun. Not something we'd ever use (the girlfriend is more traditional), but I'm enjoying looking at them.

  7. FWIW I think Jake broke it off with the beard. IMO he got sick of her shit: the PR stunts, her gushing and allusions (illusions?!) to them being engaged. IMO no way she broke it off - Reese needs Jake for PR, an event escort and relevance far more than he needs her. Him not saying anything about her in 2-3 years of the fauxmance is proof of that. IMO he let her "borrow" him to enhance her image after Ryan, but she went out of control with it and overstepped a line whatwith the engagement ring games, the magazine interviews, the magazine cover that said "Reese Loves Jake". IMO Jake gave her warnings not to take it too far, and when she showed herself to not respect his wishes he called her out on her bullshit and said no more.

  8. WEHO? I'm not going to bother with the Whole Foods W. Hollywood pics:

    From the 12/3 newsconference:

    Is he competitive with his sibling, Maggie?
    "I don't read her scripts or give her ideas and she doesn't to me either. Occasionally, we did in the past, but our interest is more in having a relationship as a family. She has a daughter now and that's more important to me than our performances."
    And what about having a family of his own? "I exist in my girlfriend's world and then also in my sister's world in different ways," he sighs. "The responsibilities are not really the same that they are for biological parents, but it's opened my heart up to things that are really important in the world." HQ

  9. Doesn't Jake's father live in WeHo?

    ReplyDelete
  10. When I look at old pictures of Jake on IHJ, it seems like alot of them used to be in West Hollywood. Then, of course, that stopped.

    That's why it's good to see this last set, even though he's not smiling, lol.

  11. Good afternoon everyone,

    I hope you aren't dying of cold. It's going to snow here again, how glad I am! I am presently taking my head between my hands to decide with my family what meal we have to prepare for christmas,something original and not too charged otherwise I fear to fall asleep during the midnight mass lol

    Hey prairie girl, I am glad you talk about Christmas tree!!!! I prefer real tree because I love touching it and specially the smell it produce.
    Yes, like you I put different themes every year. I assiocate two colours usually: white and blue or gold and red for instance. But this year I chose a natural theme : white, fir cones or pines lol, its the first time I do it.( not easy to make hold it on the tree).
    I like your crumbery/gold/green theme, it must be flaming!
    Generally I decorate my tree listening carols and this year it was "sleigh ride" and "the christmas song" sung by Harry connick Jr and Nat king cole. ( hey I LOVE winterwonderland too). It's a so cool moment, I feel like a little girl again.


    It's me or jake seems really skin on the pic and tired . I read somewhere he lost weight for his new role in Source Code. Some already read the scenario! but where do you find it?
    Anyway that sounds interesting but strange. I am waiting to know more about it.

    Oh I am shame but don't know much about the traditional hanukkah, I wish all the same good hanukkah for those who celebrate it.

  12. Yes, Jake's crazy father lives in WEHO since the divorce.

    ReplyDelete
  13. Personally, I could care less who broke it off. It's off, that is all that matters.

    Ted's latest is the most blatant he has ever been, posting Jake's picture right next to the words, what would Toothy do. He's outing him without outing him. Very clever.

    I do not have time to download or watch it now, as I am on my way out the door, but sogopro put up a video starring Austin. $2.99 fee to download, but I am sure it will be worth it. I'll watch it tomorrow.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I was just wondering last night if we were ever going to get that SoGo video. I will be dowloading it tonight.

    I love real Christmas trees too Elinor. But this year, as in many, I am going home to visit my family for the holidays, and nobody in my family ever puts up a real one. And since I will be away starting tomorrow night, I did not put up a tree myself. But in the past I've used lights that are a mix of purple, pink, yellow and red, and used those colors and a smattering of other things for the decorations. I'm also kind of limited in what I can put up because of my cats, no glass balls for starters.

    For something that supposedly doesn't matter, people are sure trying to prove that Jake spent time in WeHo while with Reeke. Just kind of proves my point.

    Oh the lights you use must be enchanting, destiny. And I understand your worry because of your cats. Mine is also tenpted from time to time lol. I have to keep an open eye.

    No need to fight on something past. What is over is over and knowing "how" "why" doesn't matter. People have to go ahead, I am sure even our both protagonist have turned the page.

  17. Good one, Spesh! I forgot about that. I love today's menorah as well.

    It looks like not many people are that disappointed over the breakup - even at Babble Central and Lainey. Lainey said she thought Reese was a humorless _____, and suspects there's more than meets the eye as to why. I don't know, who knows what she's really like, but I never thought they seemed like a couple who was a good match anyway. I think maybe Jake just got fed up with it, and has too much going on in his own life right now for the fauxmance to continue any more. I don't like to see Jake take a backseat to her "Reese left him because blah, blah, blah." I think he ended it, because he doesn't look like he's losing any sleep over it to me, tbh.

  18. It must be the Real Adventures of Boyfriend and Girlfriend short Austin and Hilary shot last summer.

    I've had some crazy crazy trees. None have ever been really traditional. I loved one year I did stars I cut from from fuschia, electric lime gree, pink, royal blue, indigo, purples,teal and aqua. I had a tree that was done in all pictures and I made the garland out of a bulk roll of camera film that got exposed. I did another of just white paper oragami cranes with two red ones. One I used iconic album covers I downloaded and made into different ornaments and did guitar picks and old 45's and and a cool Fender strat and a Gibson Flying V guitar ornaments, a snare and cymbal.

    This year will be a smallish white tree with white lights, crystals, silver which will include some silver spoons, metal letters and numbers and mirror garland.

    The tree I really to do one day is Viva Las Jesus. A combo of Vegas, Elvis and Baby Jesuses. A tree that rotates all gilded and glammed out with baby Jesuses, some blue (you know for Blue Christmas) and a Elvis cape for a skirt.

  19. Sounds like you've had some wild trees Special. And here I thought I was being unconventional going with pink and purple.

    Totally off topic, looking forward to seeing James Franco and one of my favorite bands, Muse, on SNL this Saturday.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Wow, all of these trees and decorations sound great.

    Traditional all the way for me (usually). Plaid or red or gold bows and pine cones everywhere, from huge ones from out west to the little hemlock ones. I can't tolerate an artificial tree because I gotta have that evergreen smell. I had at one time bought small potted trees that I could plant outside in the yard, until I realized that I'd never be able to keep up with a tree every year! One thing I would like to do is have a pear or apple tree in the yard, so decorating just the bare branches with clear lights would be pretty I think, and then plant it in the spring. I have a thing about those little ceramic trees with the lights, and I sometime like to make a little desktop or tabletop tree out of red, green and silver Hershey's kisses. I have a thing about snowflakes - love paper cutout snowflakes in the windows. I have a little Alberta spruce in a container garden outside, and the theme is candy for that one - an artificial gumdrop garland and artificial mini gingerbread ornaments. I decorate with the greeting cards we get, and if they are so beautiful that I just can't part with them, I make gift tags out of them.

    I keep threatening to collect the pine needles to make a pillow sachet, but I haven't done it yet. Maybe this year. ;)

  21. Oh special k you should create a catalogue special christmas decoration cause you seem so inventive!

    I can see Jake behind a cause like this coming from a family of writers and also with Austin loving writing. What is interesting is that Jake is becoming more and more involved in kids and education causes. And how Austin is getting involved in enviromental and school stuff with Global Green.

  24. I think I missed a lot with austin!
    I didn't know his passion for writing but if I remember he loves poems,doesn't he?

  25. Elinor, Austin has talked in interviews about trying to write every day. He got his degree in creative writing.

  26. I love the lyrics to today's song. Very cute. :)

  27. oh thanks special K, I ignored it.
    I admire writers so much...and love austy even more now. I wonder, he may be interested in writing script for cinema or TV show, why not!

  28. How about this zinger, from today's Awful Truth story about Bradley Cooper and Renee Z?!!

    Now that Gyllenspoon is kaput, some star-powered couple needs to take over the fauxmance game, and Zellweger and Cooper have People written all over 'em.

    Ted ilu.

  29. Destiny, I do like the sound of that SNL :)

    Still a bit meh about the split as I think J&R could easily be re-ignited for PoP - I guess we'll see. I think it started as strictly business and some feelings developed that weren't necessarily healthy ones.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Ouch, from Ted. lol. That Bradley Cooper/Renee Z. thing has always sounded so contrived.

    I finally read today's post. Hilarious!!! Lol, a workout partner who can keep up. Going back to sitting in the back of restaurants. LOL! Very witty, Special - I enjoyed it. I wonder whatever went wrong with Renee Z and Dan Abrams? I always thought that guy was very appealing.

    Looks like Jake may have been doing some Christmas shopping?

    ReplyDelete
  31. I like the smell of real trees, too, Elinor. I like your choices of colors. Special, uh....you've had some real bang up trees. lol.

    Mine is very simple but I think it's especially pretty this year.

  35. Let the Rumours Begin!December 17, 2009 at 6:46 PM

    ETalk, an entertainment news show here in Canada reported yesterday that Jake's new movie 'Source Code' will be filming in Montreal early in the new year. Who else will be in Montreal filming? Kirsten Dunst....

  36. Atticus, if daddy doesn't come through with a good toy for you, how about some Snausages?

    Or...Bacon!Bacon!Bacon!

    Well, gotta get ready to hit the carts & automatic doors again. Will see you all later.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Jake has some good memories of Montreal from TDAT. OTH has only 11episodes to go so Austin will be finishing OTH be finishing up around the end of March and Jake will just be starting Source Code. Hmmm think Austin have a hanking for poutine and just have to go to Montreal?

    ReplyDelete
  38. I'd rather see something rekindled with Kiki, that's for sure.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Austin, ideally, but Kiki suited him better than Reese, if he must.

    ReplyDelete
  40. The Insider talked to US Weekly just now. US Weekly says that Reese broke it off and didn't think Jake was mature enough because he only had one real relationship, (Kiki) and that he took her time away from her kids. Of course they said he was heartbroken because he wanted to take it to the next level. They are also saying that Jake will still be a part of Ava and Deacon's life. Yeah right that's it.

    Now that the comedy portion of the early evening is over off to make dinner.

  41. Looks like Austin is in Austin with Sophia. Some of the cast finished filming at the beginning of the week...

  42. For The Love Of PeteDecember 17, 2009 at 7:36 PM

    Those kids have a father, they'll live without Jake. The story is so ridiculous. You don't need to have a lot of relationships to know what love is; in fact, I'd worry if someone had a lot of previous relationships. It took Reese this long to find out he wasn't mature and not father-material? Yeah, right. :(

  44. Don't believe everything you hearDecember 17, 2009 at 9:05 PM

    Watching Keith Olberman here, and one of his lead stories dealt with the spreading of a story concerning White House pressure on a particular senator. The story has lead to news anchors condeming, bloggers damning and another senator demanding a special investigative committee to uncover the unethical practices of Obama.

    Turns out the whole story is false, wrong, completely made up. And it all started with a Tweet.

    Yup, somebody tweeted a lie. Imagine that.

    Also, in the summer, the Conn. Republican party was exposed when discovered several members had created bogus accounts using the names of actual Conn. law makers and were tweeting inflamatory things, lies and twisted facts, meant only to cause trouble and show Democrats in a bad light to the voting public.

    Yup, someone tweeted a lie. Over and over and over again, under a false name.

    In regards to any Tweet, coming from any state, about any person, extrapolate from this what you will.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Sorry, passingby, it's too easy to plant those tweets when someone is not being seen, has not been seen for several weeks.

    No cellphone pic from this person? No details about where they were seen? No details about what they were doing? No mention of what they were even wearing? What it was like to see these celebs in their city?

    This one really failed to make the grade. Give me a break, bring something serious to the table and I'll give due consideration.

    'morning, everyone! This has been the longest week. I hope everyone has a great, productive day. Destiny, best wishes on your travels and I hope we get to see at least some @)# Blackberry comments, LOL.

    See ya all later!

  46. This song is so cute, I can just imagine someone singing it to their little ones -

    "Happy Hanny-kay, my little latke, my little strudel, my little sugar pie . ."

    Really cute, I'll be sorry to see this one go, love Woody Guthrie. :)

    ReplyDelete
  47. Yep...
    I'm sure that a random person on Twitter who lives in Austin and doesn't have a history of blogging about celebrity sightings just got up one day and said, let me make up bogus sighting of Sophia Bush and her man from OTH (not even blogging Austin's name, because she doesn't know it as most people don't) Doesn't even seem like the girl knew that Austin is from Austin either. Isn't it odd that winter break started for some on OTH, that Austin'sfamily lives in Austin and that Sophia just happens to be there.

    Please... why would a person make up this sighting, it's not like Austin Nichols is an A-list household name. Most people don't know or even care that he and Sophia Bush are rumored to be a couple. Even during the USO tour most people blogged about going to the event had no idea who Austin Nichols was and had never heard of him.

    There was a Christmas party in Wilmington on Sat night,it was blogged that he was there. There is a person who blogged on his website that they saw Sophia & Austin in Wilmington early this week (sorry but that was not me).
    They filmed on Monday thru monday night and he was present for that.

    People don't walk around taking photos of celebs doing normal things in places that are not loaded with celebs, heck most of the time in NYC when you pass a celeb you don't take photo, you just go about your business and leave the person in peace.

    Keeping with the TT theory, everyone is out to make up bogus twitters about Sophia Bush & Austin Nichols being a couple because they have an agenda against the 6 people that post on this blog. If it's not about an agenda then they are getting paid by Austin's PR team to keep him in he closest, you know a guy who stars on a D-rated network with less than 3 million viewers...

    OK..
