Hello Stranger.....

Good to see you. It's been a long time.

Still trying to figure out if Austin had boots on in OTH, but know Jake had the Spurs last night.



Jake was back courtside and hanging long time friend Chris to catch the Lakers take on the San Antonio Spurs at the Staples Center. Jake also gave a shout out to Mellow Johnny's in Austin, TX, Lance Armstrong's cycle shop.



Great to see friends hanging out and having fun again.





You know its like those couple of years with that blonde just didn't happen. Kind of like what happen that TV show about that other city in Texas....

Jake sure didnt seem to be paying much attention to the Laker Girls but he was checking out the Basketball player stretching. Way to go Jakey. I wonder if Chris was in Texas. It looks like they were having a lot of fun last night. Jakes heart must be healing.

Florida Tom said...

Well the next couple days should be fun. Another foot or two on the way. Noreaster combined with another storm with blizzard conditions. This should be good.

Florida Tom said...

Wow just checked out the 3rd picture. That was a collision not stretching.

Special K said...

We are getting a piece of this new storm too. Noon forecast said we are looking at getting a foot here tomorrow. Nothing like you guys in PA and DC but we've had those kinds of winters.

wft2 said...

It’s so good to see Jake with his real friends again and having a genuine good time instead of fauxmancing in photo ops with a beard.

There is another guy with them at the Lakers. Does anybody know who he is? Could he be Chris’ other Jake (Cake?)?:

Birdwatch said...

Hooray!

prairiegirl said...

Cake. LOL. That name kills me.

My sympathies out to you all on the east coast. Special, what you guys are about to get must be the big storm that just dodged us. I still can't believe we dodged that bullet. On Sunday, they were saying we could get 8+ inches, even more in some areas. And we were lucky if we got one inch. Thankfully, the roads dried out last night before the deep freeze really hit.

IHJ said...

more Lakers pics

Florida Tom said...

I have no clue who the other guy with Jake and Chris are but he sure is cute. Maybe he is a biking friend of Jakes. The words on his shrt are Ride Your Bike.

Maybe these are two of the str8 friends that Ted was refering to. Although I am not real sure about Chris???????

cough said...

ONTD comments about Chris:

Friend is setting off my gaydar...

Friend looks gay. My gaydar went beep beeeeeep

destiny said...

LOL the ONTD comments, and I agree with them, especially the blonde guy.

Nice to see Jake out with Chris.

m said...

Wonderful to see Chris again. I've been wondering where he has been. More of Jake's personality comes back every day. I bet we see he and Austin again soon. Baby steps out of the bearding closet.

c said...

Chris moved to MV 2 years ago, that's why he has been off the radar. He obviously was in Texas with Jake celebrating their friend David's birthday.

Which means Austin was there also.

destiny said...

Chris has been off the radar because he wasn't part of the approved bearding plan.

Lol said...

Lolol!! Destiny, you are soo clever. Witty, too!! Oh but wait a mo', how did Chris slip by PR that time when he was in Manhattan with Reese and Jake?

to be fair said...

we saw him with jake and reese once.

c said...

Chris has his own life. He has a farm in MV now, away from the paps. The only reason you saw him so much was because he lived in NY then followed Jake to L.A. after he quit his job.

I assume he was in TX with Jake and David celebrating his birthday.

Yes we did see Jake, Reese and Chris in NY in '08 if I recall but I think he may have been visiting NY since he may have moved back to MV at that point.

Chris and David are equally best friends of Jake I would assume, didn't David go with Jake to the Baftas and Chris tio the Oscars? Pretty major events.

LOL!! said...

Austin could have been in Mongolia over the weekend for all we know. There is no proof he was in TX over the weekend, or NC, NY, or L.A. all the approved places that he is allowed to go, God forbid if he was in Iowa!

destiny said...

I don't think we were meant to see Chris that one time with Reese; I mean, come on, who goes on a romantic weekend to NYC with your new girlfriend with your bestie in tow??

And funny how Jake didn't make any trips to Texas to see his good friend David while Reeking either. And where are all those Reeke pictures together with Chris during all their supposed visits together to MV?

With rare exception, like that flurry last spring when Jake was looking like crap, it has been all Reeke and not much of anything else for the two years of post-Rome Reeking.

They completely burned down Jake's old image to the ground, and almost destroyed his fandom in the process. But I guess once they'd signed that bearding contract, they couldn't change the terms.

duh! said...

Oh but wait a mo', how did Chris slip by PR that time when he was in Manhattan with Reese and Jake?

Jake asked him to come. Jake decided to dump that boring and bitchy beard and have some fun with Chris!

yeah, right said...

Chris and David are equally best friends of Jake

Babbler fiction.

Austin, TX said...

By Michael Barnes
February 9, 2010

Austin celebrity news marched across two fronts this week. Via “The Late Show with David Letterman,” we not only caught up with Austin resident and Oscar Best Actress nominee Sandra Bullock and Super Bowl winner and former Westlake High School quarterback Drew Brees, we had our suspicions confirmed that Brooklyn Decker, bride of Austin tennis ace Andy Roddick, would adorn the cover of Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue, wearing little more than hands over her breasts.

On the streets of our fair town, our spotters spied Jake Gyllenhaal at Enoteca, Home Slice, the trail around Lady Bird Lake and Lance Armstrong’s Mellow Johnny’s Bike Shop. He was in town to celebrate filmmaker David Modigliani’s 30th birthday.

Eyed at Uchi were Molly Sims and Matthew McConaughey (separately).

Over at Iron Works Barbecue was celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck. “He went back for seconds on the beef ribs,” said Roland Cantu. “His wife loved the chicken.”

A burst of Austin celebrity news

LOL!!! said...

Ah poor fan ghouls. Can't explain why David who they now hate went to the Baftas with Jake in '06 and was stitting next to him when he won. Of course Jake had to pass him off as a PA so CAA could pay for his flight, etc (would explain why he is seen carrying an umbrella for him)but that's what Jake does with Chris (The Oscars, TFF, etc) I guess Chris traveled more with Jake because he was based in NY unlike David who moved to TX several years ago. Not too many paps wandering TX last I heard.

Those are the facts backed by pics and video, hardly fiction fanghoul.

Now what will Ted do with all the fan fic you ghouls sent him regarding this weekend? Didn't expect David nor Chris, did ya??

^^^ said...

Silly babbler, Baftas were 4 years ago and sitting next to Jake doesn't make David his best friend.

Still determined to pretend that Austin doesn't exist and has nothing to do with Austin, TX? lol

miss said...

C Chris didn't live on MV whole time was cooking in Italy with a group of chefs

cooking said...

You are right about Chris and Italy. Chris spent some time in London while Jake was there filming PoP.

Awww said...

Aww, Destiny - you're confusing me. One minute you can't stand Jake and the next you're worrying about his fandom and his best friends. I thought you were old, jaded and cynical... But awwwww you DO care!!!!

leaping logic pulled a hamstring said...

Wait a minute, how did Chris get to Austin, TX? Was there a mention of him at all? Just because he's there with Jake in LA, he was there with Jake in Austin?

And who the fuck is David Modigliani?

OT question to destiny said...

destiny, you have Firefox. Do you have the new 3.6 ? What do you think of it? Idk if I like it or not. It's doing weird things like opening tabs next to the tab, instead of at the end, and when I pass the mouse over a pic (not click on, just pass over) the pic opens twice in 2 other tabs. Wtf?!

Sorry to go OT but destiny's the only one here who has FF that I know of.

OT question to destiny said...

Or anyone else who has FF 3.6, sorry.

i wonder... said...

Chris moved to MV 2 years ago, that's why he has been off the radar. He obviously was in Texas with Jake celebrating their friend David's birthday.

Or maybe he just stopped being seen out with Jake so much because he got weirded out by the crazy people like you and LOL!!! (aka Jack). You know, people that are being crazy stalkerish about Jakes civilian friends, make up stories about every waking moment of their lifes, troll the facebooks of every person Jake knows and talk about Naomi and Stephen as if they're their own parents instead of the parents of someone they don't even know.

Just a possibility...

Vanity Fair said...

^Only babblers and trolls stalk Jake like that. After all, they were the ones going on about David and Chris and claimed to know their every move.

And UV/FL/Chica, you must think we're really stupid with your Firefox question.

Special K said...

Another OT but browser related.

Anyone using Google Chrome and not able to post a comment using it? Then ended up switching back to Explorer or Firefox.

Special K said...

My question is a legit one about Chrome. I know it is another browser people are using and wanted to troubleshoot if people were having issues with OMG using it.

David said...

And who the fuck is David Modigliani?

Jake's friend.

I ask Modigliani, a little teasingly, if he's calling himself a Texan now. After all, this is a guy who summered in Martha's Vineyard growing up and counts family friends Jake Gyllenhaal and Mary Steenburgen as part of his film's advisory board.

OT question to destiny said...

And UV/FL/Chica, you must think we're really stupid with your Firefox question.

Huh? I'm none of those people, I'm not a troll, not a babbler. I post here and on WFT all the time. Is there something I missed about asking a FF question now makes someone a babbler or a troll? Jeeze. If anyone's a troll, you are - trying to run off anyone you can.

Special K said...

If you look at the article in the Chronicle from 2008, you can see this at the end of the article:

"I came four years ago. I thought I'd just stay for grad school and I'd move on. And I stayed to finish the film. And I love it. I want to stay here and make more films."

Which means he moved to Austin in 2004.

He summered in MV, that's a big difference than Chris who is from MV. And those on the island would be the first to point that out.

Really don't get the point of all brohaha over Chris and David. Hey they're friends with Jake. I'm sure they're friends with Austin too.

FF1 said...

I'll change my name from OT question to destiny to FF1, how's that. The FF Personas are great, so's the bolder red line under misspelled words. Oh I just found the tab answer: it opens next to, now. Not at the end but it can be changed (yay). Nothing about the double tab pic pass over, yet or maybe it's my ISP. destiny let me know if you have that problem! Special I've never used Chrome. IIRC not many people do.

FF1 said...

So I'm not OT, I wonder if Jake or Austin uses FF or Chrome!

prairiegirl said...

I'm with Special. What's the big deal with Jake having a good time at the game with Chris and this guy? I think it's awesome. We've been waiting for pictures like these for 2 1/2 years.

Jake shows some possible signs of jet lag with his disinterest in alot of the pictures and his slouch (sit up straight, Jake! lol) but other than that, he looks like he's having a nice time with the guys.

I had trouble using google at lunchtime, does that count???? lol.

prairiegirl said...

Also love the Twizzlers! Who brought the Twizzles to the game?

Or did one of them pay $10.59 for a package of those at the arena? Probably had 6 Twizzler sticks in it, too, I bet. Those arenas/stadiums ream the American consumer to death.

Oops! Sorry for the short rant. Don't get me started on ballpark/theatre concession prices. They get me steamed up!

Okay, I have to go back to work. Awful, awful day at work today. But I had to leave @ 1530 to come let my buddy Curly outside and feed him, albeit a little early. And now I'm going to miss dinner @ Strouds with my friends and sister. That bums me out.

Also love how Jake can't put that phone down. Waiting for who to call or text, I wonder??

nuts said...

Chris was forced to quit his jib in NY because crazed BBMt/Brokies kept calling asking for him and canceling reservations when they found out he was working that day. I guess the nuts were stalking Jake via Chris.

No wonder he quit and moved back to MV.

^^^ said...

Trolly, your fiction is sick.

not fiction but yours is said...

I posted on the DC forum when it happened fan ghoul.

^^^ said...

Trolly, you post your made up bullshit everywhere.

Special K said...

Did anyone notice that Jake's jacket has epaulets. I laughed because I can see Austin wanting to borrow it, after almost everything he worn last season on OTH had them.

i wonder... said...

Jack, you were the one that posted "insider info" about Chris working at the lodge, about Chris working in LA, about Chris working in NY. Of course claiming you worked at all those places, so you knew.
You are now posting all about Chris working in MV. Are you working on his dads farm or something now?
You also posted about being coworkers with people who went to school with the guy you called "Adam Gordon Levitt" (Matt Frost to us tinhats)and therefore knowing all about him as well.

If anyone was stalking (if you can call making up random "facts" about their lifes stalking) Jakes friends it was you. You obviously still are, in addition to following Jakes mom on facebook. Seriously, you need to stop, it's beyond obsessive at this point.

Gasbag is pissed because jake was with Chris and David over the weekend, good!

Trolly, Jake was with Chris, David and Austin over the weekend - GB and you know that, that's why you don't dare discussing Austin.

LOL!! said...

Ha, ha! You must be seeting. Not only was there no tweets/sightisngs of Mr. Nichols in Austin over the weekend, comments on ONTD say that Jake came into one of Lance Armstrong bike shop. Jake, David,Matt and Lance would be recognized, not Chris but Austin would, he has in the past.

Fan Ghouls foaming at the mouth!

^^^ said...

Silly trolly, you are the only one foaming at the mouth - because Jake visited Austin's city.

Florida Tom said...

All we know for sure is that Jake was in Austin, Texas for several days. None of the tweets that I read placed him with anyone. Maybe Chris was there but we dont know that. There was one cell phone picture of Jake and no one seemed to know the one man that sat next to him at the restaurant. We also have no clue where Austin was. Its great that Jake is hanging out with some of his old buds again. I wonder why he hasnt been seen with his old bud Austin. There might be a reason for that. Wonder what it could be.

prairiegirl said...

Hey, Tom, have you guys gotten any more snow today?

I am back home. I so hate coming home and then leaving them again. Always breaks my heart. But he seems fine. I rushed it a bit so I could be back in time for A. Idol. I wanted to see Ellen. So far, she's hardly said anything. And she seems so serious!
She's cut her hair real short - that's the first time I've seen her with her hair that short, anyway. It's cute.

Our afternoon went to pot at work. Geesh!

Ooooh, wow, they've got a good gal on there right now. What a strong voice! Wow! Oh, her name's Crystal.

goodtimes said...

But at the end of the day it doesn't matter where he stayed, there's no other reason for him to be there.

What I love most about Destiny is her absolute conviction about something. The above quote was posted by Destiny on Sunday night, before the Austin newspaper article explaining Jake's visit came to light. It's so...what's the word? Delicious! when everything she states as fact, because she knows a lot about Jake and his friends apparently, blows up in her face.

^^^ said...

Poor trolls, their life must be terribly boring.

FF1 said...

Trollys at 9:21 and above: If you don't like OMG or its posters, then why do you post here? Love it or leave it. Better yet, start your own blog with your own point of view. You're obviously more into tearing others and their opinions down than having an original thought of your own.

You're like a bitter movie critic who failed at being an actor. Go get your your own show, trolly. No one's buying tickets to see you here.

destiny said...

Goodtimes, I guess those hats you and your fellow babblers bought to wear to Jake and Reese's wedding must be gathering a lot of dust. Oh, and how many times was Reese pregnant the first year of their showmance.

By the way, I'm sticking with my beliefs. Everyboy id just expressing their opinion here, and anyone with half a brain knows that without having it spelled out every single time. But you know that, because even you're not that dense.

I don't think Jake went to Texas just for David's birthday party; I do think he probably went and had a good time, but used it as cover for being in Austin to visit Austin's family. We have no evidence Chris was there. And I do think Jake was probably there all week, with those gas pump pictures being passed off with the wrong dates to make us think he was in LA until the weekend.

FF1 said...

destiny, I guess you believe my question about Firefox 3.6 means I'm UV/FL/Chica since you didn't answer. Sorry you feel that way. I won't bother talking to you again.

Special K said...

Firefox 3.6 does have some glitches to it, I did have a tab jump into a separate window a few times, and have noticed that if your mouse hovers too long over things they will open up on their own without clicking. Send them some feedback at Mozilla they are always looking for comments so they can work on stuff for the next versions.

I don't know why you think I know anything or even have Firefox (I don't, I use Internet Explorer, like the vast majority of people), not to mention I'm technologically challenged.

FF1 said...

Sorry destiny, my mistake. IIRC your gf uses Firefox? I don't know why but I connected Firefox with you. Well hey there's worse words than Fire and Fox that anyone can be linked to so I guess you can consider it a compliment!

m said...

Must say, Chris looks good. He has been MIA for so long. He deleted his blog, though I think he just opened it to post pictures of him cooking squirrels and other roadkill based on the WFT and OMG comments that were being made. I have not been on the MV site in a long time to see if he is back doing any videos.

@literatim @captainboo It was insane! He was standing in the balcony next to Marcus' family. He was screaming & clapping louder than we were

@literatim Jake totally fanboyed over them. So cute to watch! And LA definitely loves them. Sold out show but the crowd was so tame. :D

@ms_random_mo I did! They thought that was nice. They're more impressed that Jake Gyllenhaal was there. Hahaha!

Dear Ted:
You mentioned that Paul Wesley from Vampire Diaries has secrets. Is he Grey Goose?
—Celia

Dear Blunt:
No, Paul is more of a newcomer than Grey.


Dear Ted:
I know you said that Jensen Ackles has been a Blind Vice, but is Jared Padalecki a card-carrying B.V. too?
—Kawaii

Dear Fan:
But of course! Who isn't in Hollywood, really.


Dear Ted:
I have been thinking about the assertion I read recently that 90 percent of Hollywood is gay. I'm presuming it referred primarily to men, but what do I know? So I went back and looked at the Oscar winners of this past decade: Russell Crowe, Denzel Washington, Adrien Brody, Sean Penn (twice), Forest Whitaker, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Daniel Day-Lewis, and all I could think was, "I could see, based on this list, 20 percent. But 90 percent?" Perhaps this statistic is not about successful actors? Or is it about age?
—Kate

Dear Stats Queen:
Nah, it's about the whole Hollywood bunch. Unknown actors and über-successful actors!

Bitch Back!

Just started up here too. Lightly, but they say that it will pick up for the afternoon and evening commute. Weather people here are happy again that they get to join in on this one, think they were a little jealous of the meteorologists in DC, Baltimore and Philly from the last storm.

destiny said...

Nothing like a snow storm to raise the ratings of the local news. If I had a dollar for everytime they made a fuss about a storm that never happened, I could retire.

Trolls really are stirred up, especially over at wft2; saw some really ugly posts before they got deleted. I guess they can't take seeing Jake spending so much time with all those dudes, and nary a woman in sight.

Vinyard Haven said...

I was a little bit jealous of you guys in Philly and DC, but we're getting ours today! I'm taking a snow day today.
