One ball, corner pocket.

Jake talked about handling swords, but who knew he was good at handling a stick.
Here's playing pool during this recent interview with Access Hollywood.



But he's not the only who sinks 'em. Austin's played pool on screen and talked about playing off.



"Because I'm a real billiards man, I might stop off at an actual billiards hall, but more likely I'd just go to one of my favorite dive bars, the Joker on Pico in Santa Monica. They've got about three pool tables, and it's the best place in the world." LA Times

With Austin such the billard's man do you think he's Fast Eddie Felson to Jake's Vincent?

But what is really interesting is Austin heading to The Joker, one of the last great dive bars in the city.

"More than a just place to relax, Joker is an escape from the rigmarole and anxiety of life. Situated on an inconspicuous corner of a suburban stretch of Pico, it stands secluded from the traditional westside nightlife that attracts d-bags and hipsters who conflate bar-going and clubbing. The people here are friendly and engaging but respectful of those needing merely a stiff drink and time alone at the end of the bar. "World Dive Bar Tour


"The Joker is not somewhere for young, single guys to hit on recent college graduates, even on the busiest of Friday nights. It's a place where you can imbibe like you're in a time warp, play pool, and order drinks without waiting behind a three-deep crush of agents, actors and lawyers." LA Weekly

No one's looking and no one's noticing in a place like The Joker. Sounds like the perfect place for a man of mystery.

As for stripes or solids? Well we know where Austin sides on that.

  1. Sophia could have said we've been dating for a year, which would match up with what OTH fans have seen with the bearding. The only reason for saying four years is to take it back to the time of the Lakers photos and when Jake was between beards.

    Another reason could be because she's been dating Austin on and off for four years. I know that conflicts with what you believe, but you don't anything for certain, so try to keep an open mind.

    Faction, Really......we'll keep our minds as "open" as you do when it comes to Austin and Jake.

    And in this case we do know for certain. LAST YEAR SOPHIA HERSELF SAID SHE WAS NOT DATING AUSTIN, and had been on "FOUR DATES" with him. What part of that don't you understand. That somebody like Sophia would lie and sell her mother if she had to to get ahead?

  5. "Another reason could be because she's been dating Austin on and off for four years. I know that conflicts with what you believe, but you don't anything for certain, so try to keep an open mind."

    Also remember she was dating two other OTH co-stars and Tony Romo at the same time she was "supposedly dating" Austin. What does that really make her look like? Attention seeking would the be kindest of compliments that could be said of that.

    So basically you're saying you believe that Sophia has used all her past relationships to promote herself/her show and she and Austin are now once again doing exactly that by putting their private life out there for that very reason?

    You must believe this since it's the only way it makes sense that there are pics of her with her various boyfriends (who she was dating at the time she was "on/off" with Austin) and now pics of her and Austin - some on red carpets, some of them "caught" in places, but pretty much all of them intentionally put out there - but not a single picture of her and Austin out with each other alone in those years before Austin signed on to OTH.

    In fact, the only pictures from all those other on-times is some during fashion week (with Matt Frost and other friends of Austins) and another set with this one guy. Damn, what's his name again? Something starting with J. God, he's been out with them again a few days ago, can't for the life of me remember who he is...

    You will? Brilliant! I think it's possible that Jake and Austin are together, so we won't have many arguments.

    Also remember she was dating two other OTH co-stars and Tony Romo at the same time she was "supposedly dating" Austin.

    Special, she said that she was dating him "on and off". So that would mean she wasn't dating them at the same time.

    What does that really make her look like?

    What does Toothy look like after having numerous hook ups with guys (as reported by Ted) whilst having a relationship and a child with Goose?

    So basically you're saying you believe that Sophia has used all her past relationships to promote herself/her show

    No, I don't believe that and don't need to believe that. Not being photographed together doesn't mean you aren't together, otherwise you'd have to believe that Jake and Austin hadn't been together for over a year before this weekend.

  9. No, I don't believe that and don't need to believe that. Not being photographed together doesn't mean you aren't together, otherwise you'd have to believe that Jake and Austin hadn't been together for over a year before this weekend.



    Point me to where I said that.

    If you want to believe they have managed to have a 4 year on-off relationship where 3 years there have been zero pictures of them alone but now in the last few months they can't get a month without being "caught" somewhere or attending some event together, fine.
    But that means that you also believe they're now using their relationship to be seen and be talked about. You can't have the one without the other.
    I know you hate that fact because it doesn't really shine a very romantic light on the "relationship" even if it was real.

    Just like with Reeke I'd rather believe that Austin (and Jake) has more respect for his real relationship and the person he loves than to use them for PR. But I'm just one of those disrespectful people, not like you...

    Well, if believing that Jake and Austin are dating women - any woman really - is so important to you that you'll believe they're using their relationships for PR, go ahead. It's pretty sad, but it's your decision.

    I quoted you in my reply. You keep incorrectly telling me what I have to believe. You don't need to do that, you can just read what I wrote instead. It's possible that Austin and Sophia were dating on and off for years. Now that they are more serious and are working together they would naturally be seen together more, which is a possible reason why they are being photographed together more. That's all I'm saying.

    We'll remember that the next time you bring up a lack of photos as "proof" that Jake and Austin cannot possibly be together.

    I've never done that and I never will, so you'll be waiting a very long time.

    You keep ignoring the fact that Austin said, on the record, that he dated Sophia (during 2006 was implied).

    ReplyDelete
  16. Austin said, on the record, that he dated Sophia - check out OMG comments about that:

    OMG, June 2, 2008 - Atti Boy

    ReplyDelete
  17. Did you actually read the comments? Nowhere is there anything about Austin saying he dated Sophia.
    Unless his name is now Sophia and he was once married to and cheated on by CMM.

    Regardless of that all he said was that he was on a few dates (way different than dating) with Sophia. Kinda the same story Sophia had before they needed Sophin to sell the new season of OTH.

    Not that it matters though. If you want to believe things Austin goes on record with you also need to believe him when he said he and Sophia weren't dating (this was of course in the last year Sophia's currently trying to rewrite).

    Also, is there someone passing by again...?

    ReplyDelete
  18. Did you actually read the comments?

    Yes, and there are comments about Austin saying he dated Sophia (see 2:33 PM). I remember that Austin's interview and I'm sure other TB's remember too, but choose to ignore that little fact.

    ReplyDelete

    No, Austin said that he dated Sophia, he didn't mention 'a few dates'.

    Not that it matters though.
    It matters when Sophia 'denies' Jake and Austin's Lakers time, but it doesn't matter when Austin does the same thing?!? You can't be serious.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Also, is there someone passing by again...?

    LOL, I think so.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Someone saying "Didn't Austin say he used to date Sophia in an interview?" is not an example of Austin going on record that he dated Sophia.
    And does that mean that the second part of that post about how Sophia at the same time said she didn't date Austin is also her going on record with it?

    I do have to give you that he said he dated her for awhile though, since I just checked the actual interview again. You know, the Ocean Drive interview, in which he also tried to make his break-up with Claire seem a little more about growing apart and a little less about catching her boyfriend with his boyfriend.
    We should take everything he says in that one at total face value, totally.

    It matters when Sophia 'denies' Jake and Austin's Lakers time, but it doesn't matter when Austin does the same thing?!? You can't be serious.
    Talk about taking things out of context. Why don't you quote the whole sentence I wrote? You know damn well what I was saying is that you can't say the one time he said they were dating he was totally telling the truth but the other time he said they weren't dating it was a lie when in your version of the story he has no reason whatsoever to lie either time.

  23. Just jumping in here

    You know, the Ocean Drive interview, in which he also tried to make his break-up with Claire seem a little more about growing apart and a little less about catching her boyfriend with his boyfriend.

    The fact that Austin says something that contradicts your view doesn't make him a liar, especially when you can't bring any evidence up to support your view. I mean, how do you know that her boyfriend was caught with his boyfriend?

    You know damn well what I was saying is that you can't say the one time he said they were dating he was totally telling the truth but the other time he said they weren't dating it was a lie when in your version of the story he has no reason whatsoever to lie either time.

    I see you're now telling other people what they can and cannot say or believe. And you really don't seem to get the concept of "on and off dating". It means you can say you're dating one time, and then say you aren't dating the next time and be telling the truth both times.

  24. It's obvious that some people have come here to dominate the conversation about Sophia's dating record to distract from the fact that Austin and Jake were out together as soon as Jake's PoP's commitments were over and he was back home in LA.

    ReplyDelete
  25. I remember that OK! story. Really, you need to do more research. Sophia gave an interview in which she mentioned being single again in US Reekely after breaking up with Jon Foster. OK! picked up the story, but changed the name to Austin for some odd reason--perhaps to curry favor with Reeke's pr.

    And by the way, most of that old OMG post was about how Reeke supposedly went to a TomKat party. Remember how Jake said at the US premiere of POP that he was (nervous? excited?) about meeting Tom Cruise. But I guess you believe that story about the Tomkat party too even though Jake apparently didn't meet Tom back then.

  28. By the way, here's a JJ post on the breakup with Jon Foster and the US Weekly interview, in which Sophia says the only men she has time for in her life are Obama and her trainer.

    Not a word about Austin. She describes herself as single. And by the way, that would be just about the time Austin would be after Austin got the job as a guest on OTH, and would be soon be heading to Wilmington to start filming OTH.

    If only it didn't also contradict with Austins own earlier story about how Claire threw him out and he had to live out of his car and sleeping on friends couches, huh?
    And if I remember correctly he said that more than once and then suddenly changed the story.
    But he wasn't "dating" Sophia yet so it doesn't matter, right?

    And thank you to the person who posted the Ocean Drive interview. You need to read the thing before and after the Sophia mention. He's "running around, having a blast" and he's "totally available". Hardly a guy who's so hooked on Sophia that he keeps on coming back to her and moves to Wilmington for her.

    After that could you please explain how only Sophia is the 'bad guy': Sophia could have said we've been dating for a year, which would match up with what OTH fans have seen with the bearding.

    You still haven't told me how you know that she caught her boyfriend with his boyfriend. Can you answer that one? And he describes the split as being sudden, so that isn't contradicting what he said earlier either.

    You keep trying to make things contradict that don't contradict. Now you're trying to get an interview where Austin flat out states that he dated Sophia and is now single contradict with Sophia saying that they had been dating on and off. It's ridiculous. These things don't contradict each other.

  34. Here's a question. Know that Sophia is a big fan of the red carpet. If they were dating off and on why didn't 1) Austin go with her to all the red carpet events she went to dateless and 2) Why didn't Austin want to chase the rumors away for him, but bringing the woman his "dating" off and on to The JFC, The 2007 and 2008 Golden Globes, The Informers Premiere, or that Global Green party he went to in 2009?

  35. Austin and Jake together.

    Austin and Jake together as soon as Jake's feet hit L.A. soil and his PoP tour was done, movie was out.

    Austin and Jake together at the L.A. farmers market earlier this year.

    Austin and Jake still together.

    Maybe I can just get on here as soon as I get home and relive those great pictures from Sunday. You know....of Austin and Jake.

    With a tiny dash of Sophia.


    As soon as Jake got home from 2 weeks of promo and a year of bearding where he was allowed to be seen with anyone.


    Except Austin.

    But now....as soon as PoP was done.


    Voila!! First person he wants to be seen with?

    Wow, I don't think I even need to comment on your inability to understand that that wasn't literally what Austin said.
    However getting thrown out so sudden that you have to live out of your car kinda does imply something went down there. The fact it happened at the same time Jake and Kiki went kaput and there were rumors about how Jake and Austin were meeting up back does make it possibly that is what happened, doesn't it?
    That's not even going into the interview during TDAT promo shortly before Claire and Austin were done where there were clothes of an unnamed friend strewn all over his hotel room (and not Chris) and the whole thing about Jake taking pics with everybody but Austin at the premiere. And things like them throwing snowballs at each other during it but no picture ever made it out. Or how Austin was completely ignoring everything Claire and Matt were telling him in countless of pics because he was too busy watching Jake pose on the red carpet.

    Again he says that they decided they were too young to get married. Adding the "all of the sudden" on doesn't change that. You do not get thrown out by your fiancee so fast you're forced to live out of your car if you made a mutual decision. There's a huge difference between deciding to break off an engagement because you're too young and throwing out your ex-fiance knowing that he'll basically be homeless.

    You keep trying to make things contradict that don't contradict. Now you're trying to get an interview where Austin flat out states that he dated Sophia and is now single contradict with Sophia saying that they had been dating on and off. It's ridiculous. These things don't contradict each other.

    I didn't say it contradicted with her saying that they were dating on and off. I said it contradicted with her acting as if she's the most important thing in Austin world.
    Of course him signing on to OTH for her and coming to live there also contradicts with the interview Destiny posted earlier.

    But as usual passingby whatever fact you don't agree with is not a fact.

    And with that I'm done having pointless discussions with you. You come back everytime there are new pics of Jake and Austin and frankly, it's getting boring.

    Aw-shucks! Looks like I came to the dating timeline party a little late. Anyway, it only took me a few clicks of the mouse to discover something interesting. (I know really? and Faction there's no need for you two to comment since we already know your roles are to disrupt, distract, contradict and ridicule.) Along with many of the reasons already cited, I believe that SB made the statement about she and AN dating since 2006 so online bios could immediately be updated to reflect the falsified timeline. I just selected Wikipedia and IMDB at random and guess what I discovered? That's right, there's already an updated citation that highlights the Bush comment. One might cynically ask why was this information so important that it had to be immediately posted to both of their bios? Even more intriguing is that the thumbnail photos in AN's IMDB bio have SB in them 5 out of 7 times. And, several of the pics are on the racy hetero side. While SB's thumbnails have AN in only one (fully clothed pose from OTH) and all the rest center on her. How's that for a metaphor about their so-called relationship? LOL. Let's face it, Sophia does like that spotlight shining on her, doesn't she?

  53. Hate to say it, but we will: "Told you so!" We knew Prince of Persia was going to stink. We just didn't know how much. Biggest problem: Um, where the hell were the gratuitous shirtless scenes?

    Jakey-poo's ripped bod was the movie's biggest selling point, right? Well, you might as well stare at one of the many leaked pics of his amazing abs for two hours, because they barely make a guest cameo in the flick (seriously, only one scene—we almost cried).

    And that is why he did the movie, isn't it?

    Prince of Persia was Jake's attempt at cementing a spot in T-town's leading men clique—you know, the H'wood hunks with big box-office paychecks, hot summer flicks, and sex appeal for days, a la Hugh Jackman, Robert Downey Jr., and Johnny Depp.

    And we have a sneaking suspicious Reese Witherspoon has something to do with this.

    Though they may be splitsville, Jake seems to still be taking pointers from Reese. That would explain why he picked a lame movie role just to fix his public persona—you know, like Reese does in order to stay America's friggin Sweetheart.

    Because he certainly didn't choose the Disney dud to show off his acting chops.

    Jake's attempt at a British accent was unfortunate. As in, unfortunately, it was not never funny. Is that a double negative? Yeah, so was Persia. And a couple times we swear he slipped from his "British" accent back to his regular speaking voice.

    From an actual Oscar nom to Oscar-worthy comedy. How the mighty have fallen—and it's a damn shame.

    The guy is stellar in movies like Donnie Darko, Brokeback Mountain, Jarhead, The Good Girl—movies with, you know, emotion instead of franchise dolls. So listen up, Gyllenhaal: We hate to crush your dreams, but maybe you're just not a blockbuster guy?

    And we say so what.

  54. Did you catch that Ted mentions Toothy has a website devoted to him.
    "Dear Ted:
    Crescent Kumquat has become quite popular these days—almost as popular as Toothy Tile! I wonder if his costars know what's been going on with him lately? Also, how is he doing since we last heard of his herpes situation?
    —Melia

    Dear Popularity Contest:
    I don't think Cres will challenge T2's B.V. throne anytime soon (Toothy has his own friggin' website after all), but C.K. is definitely loving his time in the limelight—and trust, he's been having plenty of fun lately. Some of his costars are aware of his skanky habits; others remain in the dark.

    There's no point in arguing with the people trying to invent a backdated time line for Austin. They are as devoted as any religious cultist to their belief and nothing will change their mind, except Jake's coming out. Then they will be like the Clay Aiken fans who were crushed. PR's creation of that tale just illustrates how arrogant and out of touch with reality they are.

    Did you select that photo of Austin shooting pool on purpose as it clearly shows that his hairline matches the farmers market pic.

  55. PG, so happy to hear your story is almost ready. There was one night recently when I literally had no slash to read. Looking forward to it.

    Wasn't that back dated Austin history planted before POP opened, back when they thought a POP2 was a sure thing and making Jake look straight for Disney was still a big deal.

  56. M and M at 9:10pm sometimes your comments are amazing but clueless at the same time. Your attempt to see things just as you want them to be only, shows your lack of understanding of the possibilty of any persons life situation. Things change everyday causing a persons situation and take on life to change also.

    I know all you saw was Jake and Austin coming from the gym.

    Sophia meant nothing to you because you did not want her to mean anything. Only your possibilities exist.

  57. M & M, Stubborn and regulars - sterling work on these two most recent threads. Sorry I don't have the energy to engage posters who wouldn't recognise a glass closet door even if they smashed into it.

  58. PG... get up and get to work! Are you running late this morning?

    I'm at work way too early today and not because I want to be. Enjoying all the Jake and Austin goodness, but look at those chicken legs on Austin. The stripey socks are killer.

    Good morning everyone!

    Matt Bomer is an example of a man living behind glass closet door, the man who goes to the restaurants with his partner and their kids, or takes the kid to the movie premiere.

    Hiding behind the beard and keeping your kid in the closet has nothing to do with the glass closet door and I'm sure you know that.

  63. Actually Jake and Austin's closet door is more like one of those slatted wooden doors.

    People just passing through the room only see a door. They don't care, or they don't think about it, or they don't question what they see or are told.

    People who stop to look through the slats and see for themselves what is in there can get glimpses of what is really behind there. There are shadows, and you can't really see all the way to the back or make out all the details, but you can tell what the closet holds--clothes, toys, sheets and towels.....

    People like Really? and Jack run up to that door and bang their against it and yell, see, it's just a door, move along, you can't see what's going on behind it, it's their private lives, you're not in their shoes or under their beds, and you have no idea if it is a clothes closet or linen closet--all while ignoring the slats and willfully refusing to look through them to even see what kind of closet it is.

  64. Closet Door,

    we all are looking at the same door.
    You see what Ted told us it's there and what you want to see.
    I love Ted, but I prefer to trust my own eyes, experience and common sense.
