Gonna make you sweat

The last few times we've seen Jake and Austin together they've been working up a sweat and yesterday was no different. Both are soaked either from working out or hitting the showers after their workout. Check out those tees.

Their own version of a wet t- shirt contest? ; )

But don't think that's the only thing they do when they go out. If you're going to exercise you need good food to fuel you.

It has been long known about Jake going to the Farmer's Market supporting local growers. Even yestereday there were sightings of him at the Hollywood Farmer's Market, and that he is there most weekends. And there have been sightings of Austin at the Farmer's Market too.

Hmmmm wonder if they ever go together ?
And who is that tall fella back ?The one right here?


Now that's a earful.

This gift flew into my email box from the recipient of many OMG gold stars for post contributions, recently, but as with anything so wonderful as this, and not seen anywhere else before, much discussion back and forth to cover all the bases first.

From Jake's hair cut we know that it's between Jan - April. Austin had a break from filming in January. And then finished up again in March.

Never think Austin goes to farmer's markets with him? Remember this?


Seems like old times.

Out Spotlight

Today's Out Spotlight is a best-selling author, columnist, speaker, entrepreneur, businesswoman and television host and one of the most currently well known financial advisers helping people learn how to manager their money. Today's Out Spotlight is Suze Orman.

Born Susan Orman, she made her first appearance June 5, 1951 on the working class neighborhood of South Side of Chicago, to Russian-Jewish immigrants Ann and Morry Orman. Her parent ran a deli in the Hyde Park section Chi town. Orman has said in interviews she did not "grow up with money". After graduating from high school, she enrolled at the University of Illinois to work on a degree in Social Work, supporting herself with part-time jobs. But it wasn't easy, there were some things to overcome before she got to college.

"When I was five or six I could not pronounce my R’s, S’s or T’s. So words such as beautiful came out as boobital. In fact if you listen closely to me speak to this day you can still hear it. Words such as fear and fair, bear and beer come out the same. Because I could not speak, I could not read very well. Because I could not read, I would always score one of the lowest in the class on exams. I knew I was dumb, everyone I knew thought I was dumb."

While at U of I she shared an apartment to cut costs with one her roommates Judy brought around her boyfriend John Belushi. Orman found herself hanging out with her roommates and Judy and John for the duration of her years at college .

In 1973 Orman left college without earning her degree because she had failed to fulfill the foreign language requirement. Having had--but overcome--a speech impediment of which she felt ashamed, she doubted her ability to learn another language.

Deciding that she "wanted to see America," Orman borrowed money from her brother, bought a van, and headed west with three women friends. She ended up in Berkeley, California, where for two months she worked for a tree service while living out of her van and then got a job as a waitress at the Buttercup Bakery.

She ended up completing her degree in 1976 by taking Spanish classes at Hayward State University, while continuing to work at the bakery. Even after getting her B.A. in Social Work, she stayed waitressing at the Buttercup until 1980.

Her dream at that time was to open a restaurant of her own, but she did not have the money for it, she contacted her parents for the downpayment and they told her they didn't have the $20,000 to lend. When she confided her aspirations to a regular customer, Fred Hasbrook, he organized an effort to help her, donating two thousand dollars of his own to a collection of fifty thousand, which he presented to her with a note that read, "This is for people like you, so that your dreams can come true. To be paid back in ten years, if you can, without interest."

On Hasbrook's advice, Orman put the funds into a money market account at Merrill Lynch, but the less than scrupulous broker with whom she dealt put her into very risky option purchases in a aggressive portfolio. Initially her investments did quite well, but a downturn in the market only a few months later wiped out both her profits and her capital.

Knowing that she couldn't make the money back as a waitress, and having started learning more about finances and investing while watching her investments and what her advisor was doing, she went to Merrill Lynch and entered their training program to become an account executive. She discovered during the training that her stockbroker had committed an illegal act and she sued Merrill Lynch while she was still at trainee. Suze received the entire $50,000 back plus interest and was able to pay back her former customers. Suing the company also did something else, it protected her from them firing here.

After she completed the training, she was hired by the firm and remained there for three years when she left to take a position as a vice president of investments at Prudential Bache Securities. In 1987, Orman resigned and opened her own financial planning firm, the Suze Orman Financial Group, in Emeryville, California.

Orman continued her career as a vice-president of investments at Prudential Bache Securities before founding her own company, the Suze Orman Financial Group, specializing in retirement planning, in 1987.

After a rocky start, Orman's company began to prosper. In the early 1990s she started giving speeches to retiree groups. In 1994 the Pacific Gas and Electric Company engaged her to give a talk on retirement advice to some 7,000 of their employees through a satellite broadcast.

She acted as director of the firm until 1997, when she stepped down as her writing career took off with the publication of her second book.

The small-market publisher Newmarket Press picked up on the presentation and encouraged her to write it up as a book. The resulting volume, You've Earned It, Don't Lose It (1994, co-authored with Linda Mead), sold out in minutes when offered on the QVC shopping network. Since then Orman has been a publishing phenomenon.

Orman published her second book, The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom: Practical & Spiritual Steps So You Can Stop Worrying, in 1997, and it topped the New York Times best-seller list for self-help books.

She has written seven consecutive New York Times Best Sellers. As well she has written, co-produced, and hosted six PBS specials based on her books; and is the most successful fundraiser in the history of public television. Two of her specials on PBS, The Laws of Money, The Lessons of Life and The Money Show for the Young, Fabulous, & Broke, brought her two Daytime Emmy Awards in 2004 and 2006. Orman has done similar type of program, Suze Orman's Financial Freedom, for QVC, the leading home shopping network, making her one of their top seller.

But it is not easy street, Orman has had her detractors. While she has proven herself a wealth of information about credit and very general financial issues, her understanding of comprehensive financial planning has been questioned by many in the financial industry. Christopher Caldwell of The New Republic, who dismissively wrote that "Orman's recipe consists largely of commonsense thrift" and that she "may be America's most forthright champion of slogans--and of their thought-eradicating potential."

Senior MarketWatch columnist Chuck Jaffe, for example, said she "scores very high on the personality index, but very low on the knowledge and understanding of the complex issues that face a lot of her audience. She's giving generic, simple solutions to people's most difficult problems, and judging from her [own personal investment] portfolio she's taking them on a path she really hasn't traveled herself." And according to MSN Money's James Scurlock, "the personal-finance guru favors supersimple mantras—even when they're wrong—and psychological explanations for all your money problems.

In 1998 Forbes reported that Orman had misrepresented her credentials, and criticized some of her advice as simplistic. The San Francisco Chronicle ran a follow-up article in which a representative of Orman stated that the book's publisher, Crown, used inaccurate information without Orman's knowledge.

But millions of readers disagreed. Her books continue to become top sellers. Phoebe Connelly of The American Prospect notes that Orman's success has been due to "offering what people are actually looking for when they seek financial advice-- a basic literacy in how it all works, coupled with the reassurance that despite what past experience has shown them, it will work for them."

In addition to books, Orman also writes a syndicated newspaper column, an advice column for Oprah Winfrey's magazine, O, and has a column "Money Matters"on the finance web page of Yahoo! For many years, she has contributed on a monthly basis to Costco Connection, a magazine published by the membership wholesaler.

She also provides advice on the weekly Suze Orman Show on CNBC, which is among the highest-rated on the network, and also airs on XM and Sirius radio. Her work on the program has made her a five-time recipient of Gracie Awards, which honor America's "best radio, television, and cable programming for, by, and about women." The Suze Orman Show was named the outstanding talk show in 2003, 2007, and 2008. Orman herself won awards for individual achievement as a program host in 2005 and 2006. She has won more than anyone in the 34-year history of the awards.

She is a frequent guest on such television shows as Larry King Live, The Oprah Winfrey Show, the Today Show, and The View and has offered her expert opinions on many news broadcasts.

Her catch phrases are "Self-worth equals net worth", "People first, then money, then things", and "Truth creates money. Lies destroy it."

In February 2008, Orman appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and announced that her most book, Women and Money, would be available for free on Oprah's website for 33 hours. Over 1 million people downloaded the book.

In April 2008 online interview with the The Young Turks, Orman stated that her net worth is more than ten million USD. Orman shared her personal investment portfolio strategy. It is highly concentrated compared with traditional investment theory, which emphasizes asset diversification and a significant allocation to equities for long-term growth. Orman stated: "I have a million dollars in the stock market because if I lose a million dollars, I don't personally care. I buy zero-coupon municipal bonds, and all the bonds I buy are triple-A rated and insured so even if the city goes under, I get my money. I take a little lower interest rate to make sure my bonds are 100 percent safe and sound." She now boasts a liquid net worth of approximately $25 million (with $7 million more in real estate).

In the Feb. 25, 2007, issue of the New York Times Magazine, financial guru Suze Orman revealed that she is a lesbian and has been with her partner, Kathy Travis, since 2000.

During the interview, which covered her latest book, Women and Money, writer Deborah Solomon asked Orman if she is married, and Orman replied initially, "I'm in a relationship with life."

When asked, "Meaning what?" and Orman replied: "K.T. is my life partner. K.T. stands for Kathy Travis. We're going on seven years. I have never been with a man in my whole life. I'm still a 55-year-old virgin."

In reaction to Orman's coming-out, numerous media outlets have focused on her statements regarding her inability to legally marry her partner and the financial repercussions of that status. "Both of us have millions of dollars in our name," Orman told the New York Times Magazine. "It's killing me that upon my death, K.T. is going to lose 50 percent of everything I have to estate taxes. Or vice versa."

Her concerned with the difficulties of same-sex couples in achieving equity, particularly when one of the partners die makers her a strong supporter of same sex marriage, but until then for same sex couple to establish trusts in lieu of wills.

As she has written, "A trust gives the trustee the legal authority to distribute assets immediately to the beneficiaries based on the terms of the trust. No court is involved. No public notice of death is required as it is with a will. All that is required is a death certificate and a trust document that describes how things are to be distributed through the trust. Because a trust bypasses the court system, or probate, there are no fees, and there is no public record of the value of your estate, protecting your privacy."

She has become known for her straightforward, passionate financial advice that often is delivered with a spiritual angle. "In all realms of life it takes courage to stretch your limits, express your power, and fulfill your potential," she has said. "It's no different in the financial realm."

She received the honorary degree of doctor of humane letters from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2009.

Dancing with the Co Stars

No Duck Ducking for the Goose Last Night

While the Princess was promoting the P, the Goose laid the golden egg. It takes takes a lot of something to attend the E! 20th Anniversary party celebrating two decades of pop culture when you are part of one of the biggest blind vices of the past two decades. And it takes something something to walk the red carpet at it on the day you've been blab blab blab'd about you and the co-star "date" by the blabber who "Goose"d you to begin with you wild turkey you.

Just not sure if that something something's a short leash (hers) or steel balls (just who of the two has the bigger pair?)

The only way to top the night would have been if it had been sponsored by Grey Goose instead of Ciroc.


Oh the Russian Judge is not amused with that joke. They look a little Stoli.

No laughing. No smiling.

Loving the longer comb it forward hair, too cute with the sweater tie jean combo, quite the All American. Then again is it the hair or have you found the one "date" who is younger chronologically yet somehow can make you look like an awkward schoolboy you devil you?

Ostrich It's a good thing.

Jake is everywhere. He introduced two clips on the Discovery channel on Saturday. Sunday PoP had a spot on WWE wrestling. We will see him PoP up on Lifetime next?

But they all missed boat when they didn't book Jake on Martha Stewart.

Martha and Jake doing crafts with ostrich eggs and feather. A faux Faberge egg for the mantel , or an wonderful ostrich feather wreath for the house.

"With me today is the very handsome Jake Yillenhoolahey, you didn't know I spoke Swedish did you? Who's the Prince of Persia. The movie Prince of Persia, that has the most amazing fabrics and rugs, it reminds of all those beautiful Persian rugs I had my assistants bring back after that party I went to Malcolm Forbes' party years ago. Speaking of glittery sparkles we're going to make this amazing faux Faberge Egg with Jake."



"Hi Jake "

"Hi Martha"

"It's amazing that you've never been here before. You're sister Maggie's been here."

"Yeah, she said she had fun making breadsticks with you. "

"Look at you both there. You like brother and sister."

"Well because we are."

"Well they were most amazingly delicious breadsticks made with extracts from the vegetables and herbs from my garden. Now you're friends with a friend of mine chef Mario Batali who makes the most amazing things every times he comes. You fancy yourself a bit of a cook don't you."

"Well I...."

"Well we're not going to do that, we're going to make this magnificent Faberge egg from a ostrich egg. I read that you were afraid of ostriches because of the movie. Prince of Persia. You are chase by ostriches. You know I am raising 3 ostriches as a part of my aviary on the Hamptons, I've got Coco, Dior and Karl. You can tell which one is Karl he got his neck through that black tube and won't let us take it off. And he doesn't like Coco at all."
Oh look at you there are you running away?


"They were chasing me."

"Oh my ostriches would never do that. Well maybe Karl."

"Do you know what ostriches can do? They can ..."

"While yes I do. One ostrich egg is equivalent to a dozen chicken eggs. Did you know Jake I have my own chickens? I've got Cuckoo Marans, Mottled Cochins, and Porcelains. The marans eggs have these dark brown eggs, and the porcelains lay the most beautiful blue eyes ever. Jake you have a garden don't you? You know you should get some chickens too? Do you have any birds at home?"
"Well...."

"Now we have these most beautiful perfect ostrich eggs here. They are quite strong, so need to be so delicate with them. To make this faux Faberge you will need 70,000 to 80,000 swaroski crystals, fine tip glue, 16mm gold braiding, gold leaf, tweezers, a drummel drill, hammer, blow torch..."

"Whoa Whoa Martha...a blow torch? Really? Isn't that a lot of stuff...."

"Oh Jake, it's never enough. You need to have all tools, all available at Martha Stewart dot com or a Michael's Crafts near you. Now mark the design you want on the egg with one of my Martha Stewart craft pens and just start gluing all this amazing beautiful tiny crystals on one by one......."

"This is going to take awhile. Wow how did you get yours done so fast?"

"You might to start with something a little smaller than an ostrich egg, you want to get it done faster, you can do this with a goose egg. Can you get your hands on some goose eggs Jake?"

"Well I don't sleep more than 2 hours a night and I did it all while baking and decorating this quarter scale replica of the Gates of Alamut cake. " (Rolling back the set to reveal a wall of cake)

"I can't compete with that."

"And I made it with all the ostrich eggs we're using today."

"See Jake. Ostriches are a good thing."

Out Spotlight

Today's Out Spotlight is a rock musician and radio presenter Tom Robinson. In the late 1970 he was embraced by the gay rights movement when he sang "Glad to Be Gay", but later in the 1990's found himself the subject of controversy when he chose to live and later marry a woman and have children together.

Tom Robinson was born into a middle-class family in Cambridge, England on June 1, 1950. His first musical experience was as a choirboy growing up. In 1963, as just shy of the British invasion a thirteen year old teenager realized he was gay. And progressive as the music in British was becoming it was not so for gay rights. At the time penalties in England for same-sex sexual activity included prison terms. Pretty frightening for a young boy coming of age and into the understanding of his sexuality. At 16, Robinson had a nervous breakdown and attempted suicide. An understanding head teacher got him transferred to a pioneering therapeutic community for disturbed adolescents in Kent.

There at Finchden Manor, he was inspired by John Peel's Perfumed Garden on pirate Radio London, and a visit from musician Alexis Korner. The legendary bluesman and broadcaster transfixed a roomful of people with nothing but his voice and an acoustic guitar. The whole direction of future life and career became suddenly clear.

Robinson moved to London when he was 23 and founded the trio Café Society. The Kink's Ray Davies helped the group with their first album, but it sold only six hundred copies. While in London he became involved in the gay rights movement and in combating sexism and racism, causes that he continues to champion to this day. In 1976, inspired by an early Sex Pistols gig he left Café Society and founded the more political Tom Robinson Band. The following year the group put out the hit single "2-4-6-8 Motorway," which alludes obliquely to a gay truck driver, and "Glad to Be Gay," which was embraced by gay audiences and banned by the BBC.

The band had success with their album Power in the Darkness (1978), but their sophomore outing was a failure, after which the group split.

He later organized a new band, Sector 27, that produced a well-reviewed but not particularly successful album. The band nevertheless received an enthusiastic reception at a Madison Square Garden concert with The Police. But trouble befell the group their management company went bankrupt, the band disintegrated, and Robinson suffered another nervous breakdown. Desolate and in debt, Robinson moved to Germany, doing music in East Berlin.

In 1982 he wrote "War Baby" about divisions between East and West. It spent nine weeks on the Top Ten charts in the UK and revived his career. Returning to Great Britian, he started performing in cabarets in Scotland. A producer from the BBC saw him and tapped him to become the host of a BBC World Service radio show.

A longtime supporter of and former volunteer for London's Gay Switchboard help-line, was attending a 1982 benefit for the organization when he met the woman with whom he would eventually marry and have two children.

When Robinson became a first time father, the Brit tabloid press had a field day, blaring the news with the headline "Britain's Number One Gay in Love with Girl Biker!" The gay press reviled him, but he continued to identify as a gay man, telling an interviewer for the Manchester Guardian, "I have much more sympathy with bisexuals now, but I am absolutely not one." He added that "our enemies do not draw the distinction between gay and bisexual."

In a 1994 interview with the Boston Globe, he said, "We've been fighting for tolerance for the last 20 years, and I've campaigned for people to be able to love whoever the hell they want. That's what we're talking about: tolerance and freedom and liberty—life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. So if somebody won't grant me the same tolerance I've been fighting for for them, hey, they've got a problem, not me."

He has become an advocate for a wider sexuality than his earlier potrayal as only a homosexual campaigner allowed. Starting with his musical career with "Glad To Be Gay", he rounded it off twenty years later with an album cheerfully titled "Having It Both Ways" in 1996. In 1998 his bisexual epic "Blood Brother" won in three categories at the Gay & Lesbian American Music Awards in New York.

Over the past twenty years Robinson has become better known as a broadcaster than as a musician. In 1986 a radio producer offered him his own series on the BBC World Service. Highly unusual, Robinson has presented programs on all the BBC's national stations: Radios 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5Live. He fronted The Locker Room, a series about men and masculinity, for Radio 4 in the early nineties and later hosted the Home Truths tribute program to John Peel a year after the musician's death. He also produced a show in 1994 that came from his personal experience, writing and presenting it himself called Surviving Suicide.

With producer by Matthew Linfoot he won a Sony Radio Award in 1997 with the gay music documentary You've Got To Hide Your Love Away, and currently hosts his own show on BBC 6, and freelances on Radio 2 (Mark Radcliffe show) and Radio 4 (Something Understood, Pick Of The Week).

In addition to doing radio work, he continues to tour. He has moved to a more mellow sound, playing acoustic guitar in his concerts, and even includes some spoken-word pieces in his performances. He knows, however, that his fans turn out to hear his classic songs, and so his signature tune, "Glad to Be Gay," remains in his repertoire, although he updates it to reflect current events.

He is also an active supporter of Amnesty International, The National Assembly Against Racism and The Samaritans along with Peter Tatchell's Outrage! campaign among others.



A Sunday addition to the Out Spotlight, this past week on a show called "What Would You Do" , which creates social experiments and videos how people react when they don't know they're being watched.

This past week the presented a situation where gay parents were refused a meal in a restaurant. What would you do?

(For those outside of the US not sure if you can watch it because of broadcasting rights here's hoping you can watch this video)
(Thanks Wicked for passing this on to be a part of the Spotlight)

Everything's Jake

"Everything's Jake" - def. 1.everything is okay, good, 2.The plan is working. 3.the next 7 days before PoP opens.


It does seem like it is "everything's Jake" and Jake's been making sure of it. Gyllenhaaling everywhere promoting. Screenings that turned out to be not only a (Pop)Sugar but a little Spicy. (You are the realSex and the City? So what do you have a Chrysler or Empire State Building? Or it's a Statue of Liberty? The crown, the torch,....)

But it's not just about wooing the lady (fans) he's got 3 more quadrants of movie goers to reached and he's up for such a challenge.

Showing up in interviews on a third MTV show today PoP is going for the teen box office. And it's only 3/4th complete, next week MTV having their show Ultimate Parkour Challege next week to be a PoP challenge, getting more of those teen guy movie goers out to check out Parkour on the big screen. And just flashing shirtless Jake some more have girls having no argument in seeing an action blockbuster. (Can we just call it now that Jake and PoP will be included in MTV's movie awards in 2011?)

But Jake and Co. aren't just stopping there they are going even younger, and not just with the toys, no no, Mr. Gooberballs took over Radio Disney for 2 hours this week. Not only will parents be cursing his name for getting their kids begging to see the movie, and buying the dagger of time and all the Legos, but also when they are sitting in the emergency room next weekend waiting for x-rays to come because "Sunday Morning Living Room Parkour" went wrong while they were sleeping in and now they are spending the rest of the day getting the kids patched up.

And for the adults that up before 10am or after 11:30opm Jake's got that covered too with being scheduled for all the morning news shows and pretaping for Jimmy Kimmel and then hitting up Letterman and Jimmy Kimmel next week in a late night trifecta. Sorry now Jon Stewart this time, Jon on vaca and it's rerun city for two weeks. And Jay ? Don't know if its Jake on Team Coco, or seeing a big chin would cause Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome.


He's got almost everyone covered, princesses, free runners, kids, teenagers, parents, gamers, guys, ladies, leather lovers. The only place the Disney train hasn't stopped at is AARPville on their whistle stop campaign.

But that could be taken care of in one fell swoop just have Jake and white hot Betty White do PoP: Golden Girls Spectacular.

He's a "Golden hall" with a thing for golden guys [Au(stin)] and she's a Golden Girl trying to slow down the sands of time, together it's alchemy and adventure wrapped up in glittery giggles. And let's not forget both have done some naughty cooking. Now that's saucy.

"Now who doesn't love pie?"

And then everything would be Jake.

All ready for the fly over Mr. Bruckheimer.
"Excellent"


Excuse me Jerry? Tom's not flying the plane right?
