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.

Dear Ted:
ReplyDeleteWith all of these recent celeb deaths, I have to know, is Toothy Tile still alive and well? Also is there any chance he'll be out of the closet or is he lost in Narnia?
—A
Dear Obituary:
Babe, don't you think I would have gone through some sort of grieving if T2 had passed away? No he's still alive and better than ever. As for coming out though, doubt it anytime soon. No reason for him to, that's how he sees it.
Ooooo, I'm glad there were pics yesterday!
ReplyDeleteIt looked very Reeke-ish, well at least Sophias face did. To me it looks like it was supposed to just be Sophin and Jake showed up to ruin the party. Not so much those two dragging her out with them.
Jake and Austin look healthy, but I will not comment on Austin's socks lol.
Great farmer's market find! Oh that ear, that ear lol
Have a great time guys! Enjoy the pics!
Dear Ted:
ReplyDeleteI've recently become hopelessly addicted to your column (much love from the U.K.). Reading up on the sleazy and kind of tragic epic of JJO and DDD has made me wonder; are there any closeted celeb couples in Tinseltown in happy relationships you just don't tell us about because they behave? Or does it always end like a bad soap plot like it has has for poor DDD and his dreamy ex? I'm a sucker for any kind of happy ending, though, so any chance these two can reconcile and be together with or without beards even in secret? What would it take? Props for all the effort you put in for our adorable animal friends BTW.
—B.V. Addict
Dear Heart Breaker:
Sure, being on the DL doesn't help a relaysh—and while some can make it work (Toothy and Grey), it's tough to keep things together with so much pressure. Especially when these dudes see out couples like Neil Patrick Harris and his BF being honest and happy.
That was a great find and kudos to the eagle eye. I'm not an Austin ear expert but I took one look just at the whole profile and yeah. It looks like Austin. Lookit Jake with his cart. Lol. No to-grandmothers-house-we-go wicker here! Guess whose stupid idea those were.
ReplyDeleteHouse of Jaustin needs the Sams Club size cart.
LOL.
Well my plane just came in. Lord willing, I'll talk to you guys next stop.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to PoP today.
Great Farmers' Market pic from earlier this year, Special. Of course, these two are together just as Ted confirms AGAIN today, and in a happy relaysh. Whatever the motivation, Jake wanted those pictures taken that were posted yesterday. The way he lingers in the doorway and stares right at the camera, with Austin smiling while talking on his cell, indicates his confort zone.
ReplyDeleteJake may see no reason to come out right now, but I'm hoping he sees in the impending future that healthy parenting is fundamentally different than two adult men choosing to be on the down low.
Using the beard like this is tacky, boys should grow some balls.
ReplyDeleteFrom DL: Keram knows that Jake has been throwing shit all night upon hearing the news that "Prince of Persia" was a bomb, and that Bruckheimer is already privately blaming it on Jake being "distracted" by Henry Cavill during filming. (As if acting ever had anything to do with the success of a Bruckheimer flick. It flopped because it was based on an '80s video game no one cared about.)
ReplyDelete"Special. Of course, these two are together just as Ted confirms AGAIN today, and in a happy relaysh."
ReplyDeleteTed will confirm it in 100 years, he will confirm it as long as you want him to confirm.
"but I'm hoping he sees in the impending future that healthy parenting is fundamentally different than two adult men choosing to be on the down low."
"healthy parenting" would be the real reason to come out but jake doesn't see it.....AT 30?
Oh, no need to cry any tears over Ms. "We've Been Together Four Years, You Know?" Sophia. Lying is the number one skill on the resume of an effective beard. I'm sure she is perfectly, knowingly, smugly happy being "used" by movie stah T2 and handsome hubby. Since she doesn't remind me of the altrustic type she's, no doubt, being paid quite well to provide the necessary "romantic" camouflage. As so many have already pointed out, most folks have no idea who SB is without this scripted connection to a Tinseltown A-lister like Jake. OTH devotees the one notable exception.
ReplyDeleteTed will confirm it in 100 years, he will confirm it as long as you want him to confirm.
ReplyDeleteRight. I'm sure Ted confirms what he has been writing about consistently since March, 2005, for a website that is barely on his radar. Special is, well a very special person, but somehow I don't think Ted continues his posts to please us. A nice fantasy though. Odd, that a Toothy nonbeliever, like yourself, just can't get enough of this blog. You must be a masochist by nature.
SB being paid quite well? yes just a bit less than Ted.
ReplyDeleteM and M,
ReplyDeleteJake is Toothy (gay and closeted), but that doesn't mean we should believe all Ted's gossip or that Jake is still with Austin.
PG took off before I even got home from the airport, how crazy is that.
ReplyDeleteLove the old lady shopping cart with the Ikea natural cotton hamper that is used as a liner. Creatively environmentally conscious.
Jake wanted those pictures taken that were posted yesterday. The way he lingers in the doorway and stares right at the camera, with Austin smiling while talking on his cell, indicates his comfort zone. I agree M&M
Good to see Ted confirming again that Toothy and Goose are together and happy.
While J may not see the reason of coming out now, things changed, times change and attitudes change. Life is change. And from that find the hope that one day we won't have to say "I hope one day" anymore.
"You must be a masochist by nature."
ReplyDeleteyes and proud of it.
"but somehow I don't think Ted continues his posts to please us."
not at all, just to answer TB'questions. LOL
SB being paid quite well? yes just a bit less than Ted.
ReplyDeleteTed's a beard?
Seriously, though, Ted didn't orchestrate Saturday's photo op. But, maybe you are because you obviously have a relentless agenda that keeps bringing you back here.
Hey, good to see some of the old regulars. (((IHJulia, Monk, Hopeful TB))).
ReplyDeleteGreat catch on those farmer market photos.
I don't think Sophia would do anything that Austin wasn't okay with. Part of me thinks it was part of a setup to make it easier for J&A to be seen together, and that this was to make up for not seeing them in their yearly April photos (LOL).
On the other hand, part of me thinks Jake said fuck it with POP not doing so well, but didn't want to totally blow things, so they brought along Sophia and/or Austin wants to keep bearding with Sophia but went along with it for Jake.
Doubt Ted is working this weekend, he probably had new material written up last week, before yesterday's pictures.
ReplyDelete"don't think Sophia would do anything that Austin wasn't okay with"
ReplyDeleteITA which disturbed me though.
Sitting at Tampa International. Great find SK. That is Austin. No question in my mind. Thanks for giving that little treasure.
ReplyDeleteWhy?
ReplyDeleteThat is Austin. No question in my mind.
ReplyDeleteThat could be anyone.
"don't think Sophia would do anything that Austin wasn't okay with"
ReplyDeleteITA which disturbed me though.
Why?
"Why?"
ReplyDeletebecause of what she said last week.
Please explain.
ReplyDeletePG and Tom, hope you have good flights home.
ReplyDeletecome on said...
ReplyDeleteThat is Austin. No question in my mind.
That could be anyone.
My butt that is Austin.
ahhh, seeing our two boys together again, made my day:D actually i don`t care so much that sophia was with them, just happy to see them together again. finally!!!
ReplyDeletei`m also happy to see this:

My butt that is Austin.
ReplyDeleteThat man has gray hair. Not Austin.
Austin has had his hair darkened during the whole season on OTH. And we've already seen pictures of him with with his beard all grey.
ReplyDeleteBut no pictures of Austin with gray hair, right?
ReplyDeleteHey NG! Great to see you here.
ReplyDeleteOnly the people on this blog could pick out Austin's ear from a crowd shot but that is his ear no doubt about it. And in the white hat shot, you can see that Jake's mom is turned to look at him and what he is doing.
ReplyDeleteI am always happy to see Ted reconfirm that the boys are still together and happy despite all that they have to put up with. Of course Ted keeps up with this blog and WFT2. Not saying he reads it every day, but he keeps fully aware of the sentiments of the 2 blogs devoted to his favorite BVer. And he does throw us news when needed.
I hate to see POP labeled a bomb by some trades. I don't think it did that badly in the box office and will fare well next weekend vs it's competition. If it does not do well week 2, then the word bomb may be fitting, but it's too soon for that strong a word.
"please explain"
ReplyDeletethe "4 years old dating"
and the best: "We had so many years of history prior to him coming to work on the show, and I think someone taking a job and moving their life across the country to show you how much they care is pretty much the most romantic gesture that a person could make.”
god if she lied, he is in the boat with her cause no way she says or does something he doesn't validate.
don't know what is worst: their nerve or figure out my sister isn't alone being in BARBARA CATLAND fan club.

ReplyDeletehum yes , not released yet in few country like here in Brasil.

ReplyDeleteShe lied, but Austin lied too about dating her (an old interview).
YESSS! Great News!
ReplyDeletePoP is number #2 for the 4 Day Holiday Weekend!
From E!:
It was for one of the box-office contenders.
Prince of Persia leapfrogged Sex in the four-day, holiday-weekend standings, $37.8 million to $37.1 million, per estimates released today. The Gyllenhaal adventure had finished behind the Sarah Jessica Parker-and-friends franchise on Sunday.
One thing didn't change with today's updated numbers: Shrek Forever After. It routed both newcomers, grossing $55.6 million Friday-Monday.
Sex and the City 2's third-place finish was a final blow the film, which had been widely predicted to reign over the Memorial Day weekend,
E!online
In all the excitement of the Jake and Austin sighting, I did not mention 2 things I came across in the last couple of days. As usual, I've lost track of where I saw them now. Apologies if they have already been mentioned here but there has been so much to read I can barely keep up. One was a score card of all the seasons TV fare and how they did in ranking overall. OTH was literally about 10 from the very bottom. Second, I swear I read something to the effect that the studio had been pushing Jake for the lead in Avatar, but that James Cameron insisted on Worthington. There was one interview during POP when Avatar came up and a look crossed Jake's face. I wrote it off to the 3d vs 2d thing but he telegraphs his emotions so clearly I think it was a reaction to not being chosen for the film.
ReplyDelete4DAY WKND:
ReplyDeletePersia $37.8M
5DAY WKND:
SATC2 $51.4M
I swear I read something to the effect that the studio had been pushing Jake for the lead in Avatar, but that James Cameron insisted on Worthington.
ReplyDeleteCameron said that more than once.
((NG)) good to see you too. Love those photos of NPH and David. Love the fact he tweets and pits photos lilke that out there for fans who want to see them.
ReplyDeleteThe sad dact is that most movies make most of their money the first week out; it is a rare film that builds and lasts in the theaters, but it could happen for POP. But Toy Story is going to be a big obstacle next week. What with the split on ticket money for theaters, POP probably needs to make over 400 million to not be considered a disapppointment.
Looking at the Bitch Back, notice that the Toothy and Goose comments were in the second half of Ted's column. Wouldn't surprise if Ted added on over the weekend. Not hard to pick some most recent emails that came in and wrote up a few more answers. Ted is a professional journalist, it is not hard to get pulled together quick for a deadline.
ReplyDeleteWhat is encouraging about PoP is that word of mouth helping it, and think it might be more of a slow simmer of a movie and the total take might surprise all when all is said and done.
If you use 400 million as a benchmark, one thing to remember Disney has is remarkable success with DVD sales, and it could in the end achieve it. This is definitely a movie that boys would watch again and again on DVD for the jumping and running around.
Don't know if you know much about UK politics but a bigwig in the Treasury of the new government had to resign as he has just been outed after 9 years (yes nine years on the DL!) in a relationship with a man.
ReplyDeleteThe scandal was because he was claiming rent, as he is perfectly entitled to unless he was living with a partner - which it turns out he was. If he's been openly gay with a partner (male or female) he could legitimately have claimed more in living expenses as part of a joint mortgate.
David Laws and James Lundie
BTW this wasn't a case of some senior politician, and some young intern/"rent boy" as I've seen implied. His partner was a professional, with a good job of his own (in fact his actual landlord for two years before they got together) but David Laws, the politician,thought if he didn't claim rent someone would notice, and he would be outed to his strict Catholic family.
Wonder how many years Toothy can hide in the closet?!
"Wonder how many years Toothy can hide in the closet?!"
ReplyDeleteTil 2012, mayas predicted it.
Till BT is old enough to emigrate and hide in Albania.
ReplyDeleteCool to see Jake and Austin out with Sophia again :)
ReplyDeleteIs that a joke?
ReplyDeleteWhat I like about the Farmer's Market pictures is how ordinary it is. How commonplace. Just another day together, one of many together.
ReplyDeleteOne thing that cracks me up that shopping chart. Looks like it has been a staple at the Gyllenichols, it's the same cart since back in 2006, with the same kind of liner.
To huh - yes, of course - a reference to the beach walks, magic shoes, etc.
ReplyDeleteThey've definitely been vegging out - get those abs back pronto, boys!
What I like about the Farmer's Market pictures is how ordinary it is.
ReplyDeleteToo bad that Austin wasn't there.
Actually, I think that is Austin in the background....
ReplyDeleteI agree.
ReplyDeleteActually, I think that is Austin in the background....
ReplyDeleteGuy with grey hair?
The hair is a kind of non-colour, but you're seeing it between two redheads. That's Austin's pose, white hat guy also.
ReplyDeleteThe hair is partially grey, that man can not be Austin, you can't deny photographic evidence.
ReplyDeleteWhite hat guy - not enough info to conclude anything.
The guy in the red circle looks like Austin
ReplyDeleteAnd look at the guy in the front pushing that cart! He has a grey spot on the top of his head!
ReplyDeleteSince we know Jake doesn't have that we can forego all other explanations like sun shining in and making the hair look lighter than it is or making the grey stand out more and conclude it's not Jake either. We know that neither of them could be having some grey hair, I mean it's not like there've been pictures of either of them with grey beards or some stray grey hair followed by way too dark dye jobs or anything.
Really Special, what were you thinking putting this up when it has no one significant to the blog in it?!? Sheesh! ;)
Stubborn TB,
ReplyDeleteyou can spin all you want, but this is a photography and everyone can see that the man in question isn't Austin.
Stubborn TB,
ReplyDeleteplease post picture of Austin spotting grey hair. Thanks!
anyway is it big deal for those who aren't jaustin addict? it could be austin, jake did farmer's market with his childhood friend too no ?
ReplyDeleteGreat version of this song. :)
ReplyDeletesince you say so, all of the pics have been posted here in the past.
ReplyDeleteSince you were here to comment the moment the Jaustin pics came out and then again for the Farmers Market pics, I'm sure you've seen them.
It's late here and I'm not in the mood to go searching for pics for someone who's just going to come up with something like "it's an optical illusion and you're crazy" or something similar to spin those pics too.
anyway is it big deal for those who aren't jaustin addict?
ReplyDeleteThe problem is that you are expected to be Jaustin addict and that Special K and some posters have a bad habit of turning speculations and possibilities into "facts" and ignoring everything that doesn't support their "facts".
Yes, it is possible that Jake and Austin have a kid (Ted never confirmed two kids theory), but some act like we are discussing facts and that is very annoying.
It does look like Austin to me. It hit me right away. The close croppedness of the hair is like his and we have seen grey in the beard. It's really hard to tell in this picture just how much the light is affecting the hair.
ReplyDeleteI'm going on that profle.
Thanks for the good wishes, Destiny. It was a great flight home. I really like Milwaukee's airport. Very nice. I had to hardly walk very far at all to my next gate. It's Detroit's airport that I cannot stand!! grrrrrr. But I couldn't get internet connection in Milwaukee so that was a bad thing. Oh well - can't have everything.
And I forgot to take my Dramamine, Special!!! I was a little panicky. As the plane was getting ready to take off, I had a mini panic about running off the plane but I knew it was too late to do anything. lol. But luckily I didn't have any problems. Except right now, my head is a little float-y. But it'll settle down. The first time I got off a treadmill, I had motion problems, too. lol
I've come home to an empty apt. I have no idea where my sister is. Could be at the movies, who knows.
Well, back to the land of Oz. Back to life, back to reality... At least I don't have to go to work tomorrow.
Hey, I had a thought.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Austin's socks were a shout-out to Jim Toth.
LOLLLLL!!
Doesn't Austin kind of have that Jim Toth look going?
ReplyDeleteTouristy-old dad look?
It's late here and I'm not in the mood to go searching for pics for someone who's just going to come up with something like "it's an optical illusion and you're crazy" or something similar to spin those pics too.
ReplyDeleteYou are the one spinning and denying photographic evidence. Post pictures of Austin spotting grey hair if you can.
No one's going to waste time for you, 17:54. There are 100 better things to do on a Memorial Day Monday.
ReplyDeleteThis post worries you, doesn't it, if you're reaching for hair confirmation. That profile is pretty convincing, I totally agree.
Prairiegirl,
ReplyDeletekeep playing dumb, avoiding and ignoring everything that doesn't support your opinion.
ok, this may not be conclusive proof that Austin is on his way to being a silver fox, but...
ReplyDeletesomeone needs their roots touching up?
Thanks, that photo confirms that Austin wasn't the farm market guy.
ReplyDeleteAw, it's okay, 18:27. I'm only doing laundry. lol. Nice job; well done.
ReplyDeleteActually, (I'm another one with spare time while I put together a load of laundry) now that I look into Spooky's journal, there are a ton of pictures of Austin with his profile shot.
See that little curly-Q in front of the ear? That's how his hair does if you go to Spooky's journal and look. And his hair was closely cropped for OTH just like this. And Austin's hair is incredibly curly/wavy just like in this picture. And his hair was much darker during filming if you go to Spooky's journal and look at pictures of Austin during those months. Just like Special said - they must have been coloring his hair darker or something because his hair is darker here and in quite a few of Spooky's journal pictures than in others.
He does have a rather unique ear.
Here's the post I did about Austin coloring his hair and his beard
ReplyDeleteBeard Busted
and one more look at Austin's natural hair in profile.

Prince of Persia Wisely Puts the Accent on the Physical
ReplyDeletePrince of Persia: The Sands of Time is a movie based on a video game. This has been done in the past to hit or miss success. This time it is a hit because the movie wisely focuses on the action and lets the plot lines fall where they may. Don't try to make any sense out of the story and you will have a fine old time.
Even though it is rated PG-13 this is a movie 8 to 12 year old boys will love. Fathers can have a good time taking to their sons to see it and enjoy it themselves. You can leave mom at home unless she is a big Gyllenhaal fan.
ReplyDeleteWhat it does prove SK that you "came across" the pic the same time you did the Austin gray beard post back in April, why ekse would you make such a fuss at the time, snort.
ReplyDeleteIt took you this long to post it IMO because you were going "back and forth" with the person that e-mailed you because you weren't 100% sure, the hair threw you profile or not.
Didn't see this coming. Jack gets the pictures he being asking for. Sees he's wrong, Austin is gray. Then come the insults
ReplyDeleteOnly 8:30 PM post is from Jack.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the pictures. As we can see, there are no pictures of Austin with gray hair and that man in the background wasn't Austin.
Austin ears are smaller.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Austin's socks were a shout-out to Jim Toth.
ReplyDeleteLOLLLLLLLL! I almost spewed my wine at that one PG.
What a crazy weekend, lots of running around and catching up with friends. I'm almost looking forward to work just so I can get some rest.
I see someone is sure working the "that isn't Austin" awfully hard and going after Special when all else fails. Don't know why you care so much what people here at OMG think since you think we are crazy and delusional.
There is no way of knowing for 100 %, but it looks like it could be Austin to me, and isn't that different than the hair and lighting in the USO picture.
It's Austin. Not the first time he's been spotted solely based on his ears. I would love to know if baby tile has his ears or not.
ReplyDeletePINB went to see POP. He did not like the movie, but said that 2 hours of looking at Jake in all his beauty was reason enough to see the movie.
Looks fairly like Austin to me, but heck i'm happily crazy and delusional. Am liking Jake's big 'family' sized shopper as well.

ReplyDelete"Drive My Car said...
I'm looking at the pictures again. Did Jake and Austin/Sophia drive separate cars or ride together? Looking at the pictures of Jake alone, you can see Austin and Sophia's reflections in the background and it looks like they are getting in a car on the same side...? Austin in the front and Sophia in the back. So were they all in the same car? I'm not good at the detective work like you guys so what is your opinion?
May 31, 2010 8:45 AM"
They are all in the same car. Jake is driving, Austin in the front seat and Sophia in the back. The reflections are on the glass.
Aaaaah, Sophia in the back seat. A HAAA!!!
ReplyDeletelol.
I was seeing Austin & Sophia in the glass reflections, too, but I had one person shouting at me in the room and another talking in my ear on the phone at the same time, both telling me I was seeing things. I finally caved in like a bad souffle.
LOLLLLL!!!
I have avowed a renewal in spirit!! The eyes of another brother or sister in internet-dom have quenched my sagging, parched buoyancy and given me a surge in pluckiness!!!!
I have yet begun to fight!!
Austin and Jake both appear to be carrying car keys. The reflection picture looks like A & S getting into a car while Jake gets into his.
ReplyDeleteIf they were in the back seat Austin Sasquatchian noggin would have blocked the background out of the back window, and you would not have seen his shoulders just that capped five head.
ReplyDeleteAnd Jake or Sophia would never take a backseat to the other.

Why isn't Sophia on the other side of the car?
ReplyDelete“The reflection picture looks like A & S getting into a car while Jake gets into his.”
ReplyDeleteIt’s the same car. Look closer. The gym’s glass reflects the street you can see it here: pic 1. The car is parked in front of the gym. Look at the position of the car when Jake is standing next to the trunk (see the car plate pic 2). In pic 2 the reflection of the other side of the same car is visible in the gym’s glass. Austin is heading to the front seat pic 3, Sophia heading to the back seat pic 4 and Jake circling the car to go to the drivers side pic 5. Then the photographer changed position to the front and when Jake enters the car, the street is visible behind him pic 6.
Around-the-World Brief: 'Persia' Perks Up Overseas
ReplyDeleteby Brandon Gray
Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
May 31, 2010
Despite a relatively tepid start domestically, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time saved some face at the foreign box office, raking in an estimated $61 million over the weekend (through Sunday) and growing its total to $89.5 million. Distributor Walt Disney Pictures is projecting another $6 million today, which would bring the overall total to $95.5 million in 13 days.
Prince of Persia was No. 1 overall for the weekend, and it topped 41 of its 47 markets. Relative to similar titles in the same countries through the same point in release, Disney claimed that Prince of Persia was 39 percent above National Treasure, but 15 percent below The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, 17 percent below The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian and 24 percent below Clash of the Titans (2010).
Russia was Prince of Persia's top-grossing market of the weekend with an estimated $9.7 million. Though it ranked second to Shrek Forever After's second weekend there, it was a 26 percent bigger start than Iron Man 2's launch from a month ago. China contributed an estimated $8.1 million, which was Disney's second biggest opening there behind Alice in Wonderland.
In India, Prince of Persia shined with an estimated $3.3 million, which was Disney's top-grossing start of all time there and the biggest of the year for a Western production. Decent openings were also posted in France ($5.5 million), South Korea ($4.3 million with 40 percent market share), Mexico ($3.7 million) and Australia ($2.9 million). Among holdovers, business improved by nine percent in the United Kingdom to $2.2 million ($5.6 million total) and was down 20 percent in Germany to $2.3 million ($7 million total).
Look at the reflections:
ReplyDeleteAustin heading to the front passenger seat and Sophia to the back seat: pic 1
Austin entering the front passenger seat of the car: pic 2
Sophia entering the back seat from the same side: pic 3
I always admitted when I am wrong. And after looking at the pictures again and walking through same car's run down, it does look like they are all together.
ReplyDeleteYes PG. I admit it. You had it right. Now just don't hurt yourself on your told you so dance.
At this very moment, Special is retreading through the pictures as is my other adversary. lol.
ReplyDeleteI was going merely from the reflections in the glass and the bars across the glass. I was told, ahem they were from the camera.
lol.
And also, again, why is Sophia on the same side of the car as Austin. Unless she's going to sit in Austin's lap while he drives. I guess that could be it.
LOLLLLLL!!!
ReplyDeleteAw, I wouldn't do that. Now where's my other adversaryyyyyy????
You don't have to fess up online. You can grovel to me in an email.
same car is my new best friend today.
Same car is probably one of the little expert Strollergate detectives. There are some very, very wily people in these parts.

ReplyDeleteSophia took the back seat. She knows her place ;)
Austin is wearing AC Milan shorts. It’s the Italian soccer team uniform.
Great work Same Car. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLet me rephrase that.
ReplyDeleteTo me, that makes the case a mite stronger for this photo op being a little public reassertion of Jakey being the man Austin moves mountains for and not Sophia.
This little outing was for Jake, who had to have been hacked at Sophia having the nerve to say that Austin moved east to be on her show to be near her. And this is how hacked the Prince of Persia was. He was barely back on L.A. soil before this Gym Statement was made.
And smack, no, there will not be any Sophin handholding going on. No Sophin glowing smile. No Sophin nothin'.
Not this time. Maybe the next time around but not when Jake is there. Not if Austin or Sophia wanted to see their next meal.
All thanks to same car. Same Car gets the Gold Star on OMG today!!!!
:)
Sorry for another comment but I was just thinking of something. Another thought.
ReplyDeleteImpossible to tell if Jake hit the unlock button first. But if Austin has car keys out as it looks like in Picture 2, did Austin forget himself and unlock the car with his set?
He and Sophia get into the car while Jake is staring off at who knows what.
^ I was just going to make that point PG. Same Car is right and, most importantly, your eagle eye got it first time around. C'mon, come closer...a little closer. That's it. Big Hug of apology to PG.
ReplyDeleteWonder why, the photographer did not get that shot of Jake and Austin in the front seat though? And, why didn't the text indicate that the trio arrived and drove off together? That would have been more than delicious. Hmmm. Very curious. I admit, I love the idea of Sophia taken a backseat to our men. LOL!
I think the reason Austin and Sophia sat on the same side of the car was that there would be no one behind him for pictures.
ReplyDeleteLook how close the picture is cropped.
Also it has been mentioned ages ago that Jake used to buy up some of the pictures take, so they are all savy about how they are photographed. They knew exactly how to sit in the car.
Oh, I agree, Special. Thanks to Same Car, I'm convinced Jake was definitely in charge of this photo op. That would explain why there was no Jake and Austin frontseat shot, only Jake with the smile/smirk on his face. And, why the text never mentioned that the trio arrived and left together.
ReplyDeleteBut back in the U.S., "Sex" and "Prince" finished second and third

slow Memorial Day weekend stateside. After Saturday, "Shrek" collected
$43.3 million, stronger than "Sex" ($32.1 million) and "Prince" ($30.2
million).
In "Prince's" second week on the foreign circuit, the Jerry
Bruckheimer production finished No. 1 in at least 40 of its 47 markets

Powerful opening launches in a handful of key overseas markets on the

to the No. 1 spot on the foreign-theatrical circuit.
The Disney film drew $59 million from 7,100 screens in 47 territories

I agree, Special. I think that we should've, could've easily had the Jake/Austin in the frontseat shot. But they really cropped that shot of Jake at the wheel. You know the paps took more pictures than this. What we saw was what we were allowed to see.
ReplyDeleteI think it's really revealing, if not kinda funny. Oh yeah, Jake was one little mad hatter. I have to admit, I never would've thought he'd do something so.....hmmmm, what's the word? Kind of risky? Kind of alpha-ish, really.
A whole new side to Jakey as far as I have ever seen, anyway. I kind of like it.
And speaking of box office numbers, I'll be adding another ticket sale this morning. Going to go see it again. I hope there's not alot of kids out of school there, though, making alot of racket. That's what was so nice about going east to see it. Those kids are still in school, can you believe that? The kids here have been out of school for a good week at least.
ReplyDeleteDef a good pick up. I real thought they were headed to seperate cars. I thought Jake was in one car and Sophia and Austin were headed to another car.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the farmers market pic someone was really determined to make sure that it wasnt Austin in the pic. The more and more I look at it the more I think it is.. His hair is very short there. Do we have any other pics of him at that time period with the same haircut?
As far as the farmers market pic someone was really determined to make sure that it wasnt Austin in the pic.
ReplyDeleteThat obviously wasn't Austin.

That man doesn't look like Austin (hair, ear). Only people who agree with Special K and Prairiegirl should post here?

ReplyDeleteWhat would be interesting or delicious about carpool driving?
and they're back
ReplyDeleteJake's do in PoP
ReplyDeleteWho's back? Posters who ask reasonable questions?

ReplyDeleteTry using your ability to conceptualize significance and the importance of the element of timing with relation to an unexpected event. I'm not here to be educating those who don't have the ability to grasp the obvious. Never mind someone who thinks that what's going on is just an innocent example of ecological awareness.
M and M,
ReplyDeleteplease answer my question, I would really like to know - what's 'delicious' about carpool driving?
Who's back? Posters who ask reasonable questions?

1:56 PM - do you call this kind of observations reasonable:

Driving a car is risky and alpha-ish?
Good detective work guys on the car. Bless them for picking a place with glass doors.
ReplyDeleteAustin and Jake both appear to be carrying car keys. The reflection picture looks like A & S getting into a car while Jake gets into his.
Looks like Austin has keys to Jake's car. And he either pulled out the keys as almost a reflex, or because the plan was to get into the car and out of the way for more pap photos of Jake.
Ok why is it important to you?
ReplyDeleteThe same reason why this is important to YOU. One more time - only people who agree with Special K and Prairiegirl should post here?
Awesome photos, and nice work figuring out the one-car thingy. Jake does seem to be fighting back a grin in most of the photos. I also love Austin's striped socks -- that man does have a thing for accessories.
ReplyDeleteOh, and sorry (if not surprised) to see the outbreak of hostility on the blog to accompany the J&A photos....
Yes, isn't it terrible that people dare to post different opinions?
ReplyDeleteDelicious= Extremely enjoyable or entertaining.
ReplyDeleteThe photos are deliberately cropped and angled in a way to give the illusion/impression that Jake is in a separate vehicle, while Sophia and Austin arrived as a couple. Sorry for the pun, but Jake would be the third wheel in that scenario. However, having Jake "behind the wheel" is far more pleasing to my sensibilities, particularly given SB's earlier remarks about Austin essentially being a dog on a leash when it came to their so-called "relationship." Jake is in charge of this situation, hence PG's alpha male comment.
Thanks for the detective work on the reflections! Love that both seem to have keys for the car and it's a pity we don't get a picture of J&A sitting in the front. I guess Jake is watching out for traffic in the pictures of him alone.
ReplyDeleteThanks M and M.
ReplyDeleteAustin and Sophia are a 'couple' for the general public, so in their eyes Jake is the third wheel. Do you agree?

ReplyDeleteWho are you referring to when you state, "their eyes?"
LOLLLLL!!
ReplyDeleteSpecial, I think this post ought to stay up at least another 10 hours.
Wait! I have an idea. You know how People magazine has the two side-by-side pictures of the same picture. And you have to pick out what's different or wrong about one of the pictures.
What Just Jared could have done was put side by side pics up.
On the left, let's put Austin and Sophia in the front seat with Jake in the back, out of sight behind the big ol' headrest.
On the right, let's put Jake and Austin in the front seat with Sophia in the back, out of sight behind the headrest.
Hmmm. Which picture would back up the popular premise that this photo op was to push Jake's endorsement of Sophin?
This little outing was for Jake, who had to have been hacked at Sophia having the nerve to say that Austin moved east to be on her show to be near her. And this is how hacked the Prince of Persia was. He was barely back on L.A. soil before this Gym Statement was made.
ReplyDeleteYou must be joking.
Uh........no.
LOLLL. I know. Maybe we could have a Legos setup where we all could place whatever figure where we wanted in the vehicle to make a headline statement of why we think this photo op was initiated.
ReplyDeleteI'm opting for the Austin Lego on top of Jake for the "Bottoms Up" caption.
Same Car deserves all the confetti today, that is for sure.
ReplyDeleteAnd I would also say that last night OTH was showing a rerun last night and there was a scene towards the very end where Julian was sitting on the couch watching Alex do her scene and Brooke takes his hand to lead him to the bedroom. And as Julian is being pulled up, there was an excellent and I do mean excellent right profile of Austin's face, exactly like the one in that farmer's market picture. To a tee, I'm not kidding.
All you have to do is go to Spooky's Austin Nichols Journal and you will find all kinds of pictures of Austin during filming time plus oodles of screencaps from OTH and anyone can see for themselves how short Austin's hair is trimmed around his temples and behind his ear, above his neck. It's all right there, I kid you not. I saw a bunch of them last night.
And the same little curly Q in front of that ear.
I'm opting for the Austin Lego on top of Jake for the "Bottoms Up" caption.
ReplyDeleteLOLLLL. M&M, you are baaaaaad.
Hey, just got back from the movies. Here I was worrying about little kids making too much noise and I was having to worry about these two young girls probably H.S. age making all the noise. grrrrrrr.
Luckily, they quieted down when the lights went down. Decent sized crowd - I was surprised. I thought I'd be the only one in there.
There were single child families and one contingent of about 4-5 kids. There were a few dates and a few older couples. There were several single men. There was a guy who looked like he was on a long lunch from the office, lol, just observing his clothes. And there were several gal pals.
I didn't cry this time - only got a little emotional during a couple of spots. There was a guy who asked me how I liked the movie as I came out and I told him it was a good movie, very beautiful to look at on the big screen and he said "good", that was the movie he was getting ready to go watch.
I would say that. If you do want to see it, don't wait for it to come out on dvd. At least see it on the big screen because the beauty of the scenery, the sand dunes and the armies of fighters are truly beautiful.
And it was.........$ 5.00!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI know Disney doesn't want to hear that, lol. That's not going to help the gate receipt total, is it?
But good for the working class dogs, sorry, J.B.
I'm opting for the Austin Lego on top of Jake for the "Bottoms Up" caption.
ReplyDelete:-D
I wonder if Sophia tagged along not only to make things safer for the boys to be seen together, but in hopes of getting some of the OTH/Sophia fans to take notice of POP.
And still on the subject of PoP, which I just saw for the second time, I just saw a Midwest audience apparently enjoy the movie. I watched a boy probably about 7 or 8 sit off & on his mom's lap during the entire movie. He didn't leave, he didn't talk, he didn't even snack on anything.
ReplyDeleteHe watched that entire movie, face pretty much fixed on the screen. And for a live-action movie, that's pretty good. There were several little girls around that same age and I didn't hear any talking, no running around, no they were watching, too. One little girl left to probably go to the bathroom 2/3 of the way through. But she ran down the steps and pretty soon hurried back.
My hope is that families & people will give the movie a chance. It's cinematic and it's an old fashioned flick with a focus on family values, something sorely missing from most of today's movies aimed at young people. Like I said before, I love that the movie also focuses on the relationship between Dastan and his brothers.

ReplyDeleteI dunno. I kind of think OTH fans were the furtherest thing from Jake's mind when he called this little town parade together.
Had that been the case, I would think Sophia would have at least gotten some decent face-time in front of the camera. What's the best we got? A side profile? And no Reese photo-op classic smile either. Nor any Sophin contact.
I don't know - I don't see this being at all about OTH; that's my thinking, anyway.
Wow, Al & Tipper Gore are separating.
ReplyDeleteAustin and Sophia are a 'couple' for the general public, so in their eyes Jake is the third wheel. Do you agree?
ReplyDeleteWho are you referring to when you state, "their eyes?"
Public, people who will see pictures and read about Jake, Austin and Sophia going to the gym together.
I think it's not for OTH, not for POP, just to give people the cool image of jake who go out with his couple of friends ( and maybe to answer the "infamous" rumours out there!)
ReplyDeleteanyways the scenario makes me think of that.
You could be right PG, especially since there were so few pix of Sophia.
ReplyDeleteThis little outing was for Jake, who had to have been hacked at Sophia having the nerve to say that Austin moved east to be on her show to be near her.
ReplyDeleteSophia gave Austin and Jake an alibi for 4 years and Jake was pissed about it? Jake was pissed because the beard helped Austin stay in the closet? That doesn't make sense.
Was Austin pissed off when Jake's beard talked about Jake?

Knock urself out. Free country.
I don't know - I don't see this being at all about OTH; that's my thinking, anyway.
ReplyDeleteThis photo op's publicity is more important for Austin and Sophia and OTH than Jake - Jake is a bigger star and had tons of publicity during PoP promotion.
Reese never went as far as Sophia did.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I never realized this Laffy Taffy fib of Sophia's had reached the websites that it did. I didn't realize it was on Perez Hilton.
"I was pretty terrified," Bush admitted, after what she refers to as "the Chad debacle," but Nichols' commitment to the star couldn't be denied when he offered to pack up his life to be closer to his love.
"We had so many years of history prior to him coming to work on the show," Bush explained, "and I think someone taking a job and moving their life across the country to show you how much they care is pretty much the most romantic gesture that a person could make."

Did you not read Special's comment the other night? It was this kind of nonsense Sophia was spewing that ignited this match. Thus, Sophia was shown who Austin moves mountains for. Not her.
I thought this thing was only on E!Online. I underestimated.
ReplyDeleteThus, Sophia was shown who Austin moves mountains for. Not her.
ReplyDeleteFor God's sakes, lying about the relationship is the point of every showmance, there is nothing for Jake to prove and nothing to be pissed about.
P.S. Sophia was doing Austin and Jake a favour (Ok, saving her face too).
ReplyDeleteYou'd be annoyed, though, even if you'd decided Sophin was in your interests. The reality of someone saying those things would be annoying.
ReplyDeleteMonk,
ReplyDeletehow annoyed was Austin about Jake playing "father of the family", "supporting" the beard, "spending weekends in beard's 6M love nest", doing photo ops with beard's kids while BT is in the closet?
