And not the collar.
Did Austin ring the new year with something special?
At the Art of Elysium gala Austin hit the red carpet where a little something something on his right ring finger.
A couple of rings have graced that finger, but one thing for certain he makes sure to show all of them off. Like there is a reason for a ring to be on that finger?
At first it looks like it was an amber stone, but up close and flipped around it looks like it could be a special signet ring. 
What do you think? Could there be some special initials on the outside or inside of it? Maybe family crest for a little family?
We've always known that Austin love accessories and jewelry and we know something else does and likes to gift it too. Jake seems to have some little boxes in that bag when he was out shopping for Christmas.
Sounds like something rings very true.

ReplyDeleteGreat to see Jake participating in the Help for Haiti telethon with all the other celebrities. Don't know how many people saw Maggie during the GG's get up and talk about helping Haiti and George's telethon too. There is so much need that anything people can do to help can make a difference.
ReplyDeleteHi guys, I see I missed a lot around here over the past couple of days. Just got back from a long weekend in London with my girlfriend! Had a great time, but boy, when I booked my trip I forgot about the GG awards and had no idea the Jets would be in the playoffs and missed a very exciting game. I didn't even find out they'd won until I arrived back in the States, that's how unconnected I have been.
ReplyDeleteWe met up with LondonTB for dinner one night and had a blast, and kept her up way too late I fear since she was not on vacation like we were. :-D
Have to catch up on everything and digest it all before I comment in full, but initially got to say I agree with PG and Tom as to what is going on.
Very sad about Kate McGarrigle. I've seen her on stage a couple of times with Rufus.
Jake never did the red carpet with Reese and he never talked about her in interviews. Austin's done both.
ReplyDeleteThis says alot.
There are only two reason and two choices. You can choose either.
1. Austin is bearding with Sophia
2. They are a Couple and want everyone to know
Did someone say that Austion is getting back at Jake for bearding?
LMAO
Just a thought that came to me in pool....
ReplyDeletewhat if:
Jake couldn't take the bearding any longer;
Disney et al needed a compromise;
Sophia, a lovely woman and very good friend of both Austin and Jake agrees to be part of the compromise;
Austin and Sophia 'light' beard, they're extremely good friends anyway and therefore spending time with each other at great parties is hardly a chore;
Sophia gets a suitable escort for industry events and gets her picture taken alot;
Jake's allowed to stop bearding;
Austin gets alot of free drinks;
Everyone's happy (except maybe Reese, but who cares about that).

Opps sorry for the double post.
ReplyDeletehaving just spent a few minutes at WFT2, it seems like almost everyone has the same theory as me, and I thought I was being so original.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm sorry, but Austin's new ring is fairly vile. Something that ugly has to have some deep personal significance, guess we'll just have to think that Jake was drunk shopping when he picked that beauty out.
Jake never did the red carpet with Reese and he never talked about her in interviews. Austin's done both.
ReplyDeleteThis says alot.
No, it doesn't. Jake's showmance had more than enough marketing, Jake didn't have to look like a fool with the beard on the red carpet.
Austin and Sophia have to create interest, they can't spend tons of money for PR.
I think pictures on a red carpet are not such a big deal because they are events specific made to bring publicity and you can attend with a co-star, friends or family. I find arranging candid paparazzi photo ops buying coffee with PDA/holding-hands a more obvious bearding statement with the only purpose of selling a ‘couple’ and showing your 'private life'.
ReplyDeleteHey guys... just a couple of comments about the above conversation.
ReplyDelete1. i imagine reese is happy that the bearding is over too. she got what she needed out of it - time with jake so that the public didn't really get much chance to think about or talk about the end of her marriage. she's far enough away from that now that i'm sure she's happy to have some time on her own, and maybe she even would like to pick are REAL boyfriend.
2. other than us (the omg/wtf2/awful truth peeps), no one knows about the relationship between austin and jake. we are a very small % of the movie going public. i can see disney wanting Jake to go straight for a while, and i won't be suprised at all if another girl takes Reese's place. however, i don't think that the general public would ever consider Austin with Sophia as being in any way related to Jake, or any proof that he wasn't gay.
jmho. s.
Destiny that is great you got to meet london tb.
ReplyDeleteI love the expression "beard Lite".
How to Know When Gay Rumors Are True
ReplyDelete...since we hear that just about every star likes boys at one time or another, how do we know when the gay rumors are true and when are they just the most delicious kind of malicious gossip? Here are some easy rules to judge for yourself...
False—When the Guy Is Jake Gyllenhaal: Sorry boys, it's time to admit that he likes the ladies and is not "Toothy tile."
Case in Point: Jake Gyllenhaal.
Defamer
I don't know if this is a real article in Defamer, but I've always wondered about the infamouse HW gay male rumors also.
Come to think of it, are the gay male rumors all that Ted talks about. Seems to be his forte.
Scandal: HW heart throb is gay.
^^^ from WFT2
ReplyDelete^link to the article
ReplyDeleteI think it's PR planted. The wording sounds exactly like the trolls who post here, WFT and DL (sorry boys, it's time to admit..etc). Unless the tone is sarcastic and it means the opposite.
There are months and months of twitters, industry reports and simple logistics to support that Austin & Sophia are a real couple.
ReplyDeleteThere are those in Wilmington, NC who put names behind their posts and blog about it. There are several people who have twitter'd and blogged about Sophia & Austin in Austin, TX. There were blogs about them from late August in the Hamptons. You can pretty much track their weekends and find photos of them at the same place and time.
This isn't some sudden thing. Austin look really happy, he has a great job and he is helping others.
Sophia Bush is a person who has stepped up and stood out in the open to support gay rigthts, more than once in more than one state.
It's sad the nobody on this board wants or is willing to accept the truth.
Bash away...

Also a big gay? Matthew Broderick.

There are a couple here that contradict what I have heard from a good friend at one of the big gossip rags. And by the way, the stories this friend tells that legal won't let them publish? Insane.
Also: poor Scientologists. So gay, and so, so stupid.

I can however definitively tell the world that his sister is a grade-A, Rufus-Wainwright-worshiping, theatergirl-to-the-max faghag and always has been. Loves her
Austin look really happy...
ReplyDeleteRed carpet pictures - Austin looks a bit awkward, I think he's embarrassed by pretending.
Dear Ted:
ReplyDeleteBeautiful boy! What's with Reese and the black attire recently? How do you think she's coping with the breakup?
—Lora Jeene
Dear Over It:
I think Reese is just dressing for winter. I have a feeling she'll be moving on. In fact, she already did, some time ago.
Bitch Cack
LOL I mean Bitch Back
ReplyDeleteOk ok passingby. I think people get your drift or whatever you're pushing. Let people believe what they want. Now can you stop with the Austin / Sophia sh_t?
ReplyDeleteLet's talk about Jake.
Who gives a hoot about Sophin besides you?
Commets on Defamer, there were plenty of posters who did not think Jake was gay, some who did not know or cared, and at least one who thought he may go both ways and some who heard conflicting reports about Jake.
ReplyDeleteMan. Where is Defamer getting their info? Is the person who wrote that thing from some obscure planet system?
ReplyDeleteAre they saying that Reeke did it for them? That Reeke sealed the deal for them?
Funny how that comes out now. I think some people are nervous over 1) the ending of Reeke, 2) how obviously fake that entire thing was, and 3) Ted's laying it on as thick as Thick-Sliced Bologna. (On the last one, for those who read Ted, anyway, which I realize is not everyone in this world)
Who else is Toothy Tile going to be? This guy/gal has got to be absolutely kidding that Jake isn't Toothy. I think I've seen everything now.
This planet is tipping on its axis today, I think.
Majority Defamer readers / posters believe that Jake is gay.
ReplyDeleteAnd welcome back to this craziness, Destiny! How awesome that you got to meet LondonTB. I bet you guys had so much fun!
ReplyDeleteHey Meg!!!! I wouldn't put it past things on your theory. Like I said before, I think Reeke was very hard on Jake; perhaps harder than alot of people realize. I still think they're pushing the panic button, tho.
My dog customers must all be getting out their 2010 calendars because I'm starting to book dates into summer, lol. Brother.
I need to ask this: Who all here is planning to go see PoP (Tom, this does not apply to you, LOLLLL)???? I'm trying to reserve that weekend to go see it but I've got a dogsitting gig already pushing at the door. Geesh!!
Really enjoyed your post today, Special. I have a special feeling about that ring, too, especially since it's just shown up. He certainly picked a prime time to show it off.
ReplyDeleteSpecial, what is this my sister is hearing about Ted Kennedy's spot probably being replaced by a Republican?????
ReplyDeleteIs it a Kansan? LOLLL! My sister said that Ted is probably turning over in his grave.
No one is trashing Sophia on this board as far as I can tell. Seems to me most people here like her.
ReplyDeleteSophia Bush and Austin Nichols Talk the 'Arts' and More at The Art of Elysium's "Heaven" Gala
ReplyDeleteI see passingby was here again. To me, Austin and Sophia are just promoting their television show. They have been friends for a long time - I see friends being affectionate with each other.
ReplyDeleteYes it is true there was a special election in Massachusetts today for the late Ted Kennedy's Senate seat and they voted in Republican Scott Brown. We've had Republican Governors in the past but this is the first time in 38 we have a Republican US Senator.
ReplyDeleteFor all you American Idol fans, you might know his daughter more. She is Ayla Brown who was in Season 5 of AI.
Now all those campaign phone calls have stopped.
You know, I don't want to make a big deal out of this and maybe the next set of pictures will show different.
ReplyDeleteBut Jake is really, really looking too thin. There's slim and lean and then there's collar/throat bones showing and sunken cheekbones. And I know that is not the best angle those pictures on IHJ have been taken at so I'm trying to take that into consideration.
But he doesn't look good in any of those pictures. At all.
I'm glad to hear he was yukking it up and having a great time. That part is awesome to hear.
But why does he need to be looking so gaunt? Next movie role? Except he was already looking slim for LSAOD (<-- LOL, do I have that right?) and towards the end of that filming, he was starting to look too thin there as well.
You know, if you're a parent of kids who are starting to eat out of jars & off plates, usually you put on a few pounds because you start finishing what they don't eat. It's not supposed to be the opposite.
finishing what they don't eat.
ReplyDeleteThat's my job!
He may be getting down to play the role for Source Code, or maybe little ones are giving him a run. : ) Or maybe Jake has been doing a lot of cardio lately. ; )
ReplyDeleteBack to Austin's new ring. Both he and Jake seem to wear jewelry that has connections or meaning, and I don't think this ring is any different.
Still not sure if it is a signet or a stone ring. Kind of leaning toward signet , but hey I might me wrong. Hope we get to see it more to find out.
Passing by just wont give it a rest. I wonder why she is so determined to make Austin straight. Maybe that is plan B. Reeke did not work for Jake, so it's time to try something else. Still not working.
ReplyDeleteI'll be glad when POP is over. It will be interesting to see how Jake and Austin behave once that is behind them. I know Jake has other films in the works, but not as much is riding on them as the big budget Disney flick.
I have to agree with Meg, that ring Austin was sporting was not very attractive. Granted, I did not get a good straight on look at it, but Big blue has more pizzazz and I've come to love it over the years.
Jake could be losing weight for the upcoming movie. He has been looking very thin of late. And in some pictures it seems the tip of his nose has fallen downward a bit.
PG, I see you finally posted the new chapter. Hopefully all will be there soon. Are you reading Golden Boy? Ennis is a gymnast and Jack his trainer. Sounds promising, off to a good start. No sex yet, just yearning.
And in some pictures it seems the tip of his nose has fallen downward a bit.
ReplyDeleteIn some of the pictures? But not all of the pictures? You mean like the tip of Michael Jackson's nose? Woman, what the hell are you smoking?
Jake and Jerry B are at the LA Kings hockey game right now (in LA).
ReplyDeleteYikes, Ted Kennedy must indeed be spinning in his grave. Sigh.....
ReplyDeleteI don't think there is any way of knowing what the new ring means, if anything. And even if it came from Jake, well, it doesn't change anything either one of them is doing. If Austin truly wanted to signal something, he would have worn the blue one, because, regardless of what it ever meant, if anything, I'm sure J&A and their handlers all know what we say about it.
*hope they put Jake and Jerry on a kiss cam*

LOLLLL at date night. You know what makes me nervous is that this Bruckhamster guy looks an awful lot like that Mike White guy. And that mention by Ted about casting couch antics for a big movie....

I need my happy place, happy place....
lol. Ah, got to walk this morning so I am feeling snarky; watch out.
Hey, Jake looks darn good here in the black leather jacket - I like it. And his hair looks great under the lights. Once upon a time, I would love to see Vince Vaughn right next to Jakey except that my Vince not looking too swift lately. But wow, what a match up - only in my dreams, I guess. Wonder what ol' Vince was telling Jake. I can imagine.
Special, I think that ring looks more like a signet since you blew it up like that. I say that because the center is flattened below surface and if it was a stone, I would think it would've been either even or rounded. Whichever, if it was indeed from Jake, I think it would be awesome. And just like any gift, when someone special gives you something with meaning, you'll love it even if it doesn't make you shout with glee. Because it was from that person. For the most part, lol.
Vince Vaughn and Jake. Wow. Vince 10 yrs ago and Jake now.
ReplyDeleteMan. I need my fan for that mental picture.
I really need to buy and learn this photoshop thing.
lol.
m, I'm going to work on an email to you today, okay?! It's been awhile - hopefully I won't go on & on about a Vince Vaughn/Jake matchup in my head.
ReplyDeleteI have to get ready for work now, though. Think it will be a writing free lunch hour as I will work on my email and on comments.
Everyone have a great day today.

ReplyDeleteWow the Dems sure have blown it. At this point They will lose control of both the House and Senate this year. They should have focused on the economy and jobs. They took an entire year on health care and got some watered down version and now they probably wont even get that.
ReplyDeleteObama has basically done nothing he said he would. He needs to make some major staffing changes including firing pitbull Rahm Emanuel and grow a pair or he will be a one term president. I voted for him but man am I dissappointed.
I think he is in danger of being a one-term president too Tom.
ReplyDeleteI don’t know if this was discussed before. This is an old Jake pic from November 2004. Is the guy on the right wearing black Austin?
ReplyDeleteIHJ
I think it could be! Awesome work Old Pic.
ReplyDeleteI think it's definitely Austin. It’s nice that it’s one year before the Casanova pics.
ReplyDeleteSeriously how did we all miss that grin? And ok that ear.
ReplyDeleteThat does make sense that it would be Austin. Jake was doing Jarhead then and had his head shaved for it.

Jake Gyllenhaal, grabbin' some Cali-esque grub at Basix Café. Boys Town. Gabbing fer days with a guy-pal, Jake-poo, decked out in a white sweatshirt hoodie and jeans, covered up his buzzed noggin with a red baseball cap. The sensitive hunks lingered on fer over an hour, smiling, exchanging childhood stories--with a bit of misty-eyed emotion even? Hey, take it up with my WeHo Desk, 'kay?
March 10, 2005
...It was late in the afternoon; everybody had cleared out. Save Tile and his man-amigo, who extended his hands flat on the marble table (yes, that's a hint) until they were intertwined with Tile's. Massive smiles then appeared on both daring dudes.
It sure is Austin and Jake's Austin grin. Great find old pic.
