So Jake was spotted lasted night of the appropriately named Spotted Pig from Jen Aniston's birthday. Some are speculating it was date, it look more like it was dinner with friends including Hugh Jackman, Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Paul Rudd and former Queer Eye guy Thom Filicia.Whether it was dinner, shameless movie promotion, or getting the inside scoop on what's it like to have kiddos. Either that or Paul Adam and Chris was trying to make her laugh, Hugh was there to singing away her blues, Tom was there to make sure the party was fab, and Jake was subbing for Chelsea Handler, ok alright a sensitive shoulder to cry 42 in on. Well or maybe they all just gave her some leads on potential baby daddy candidates.
After an evening probably filled of dishing and deviled eggs, Jake slipped out the back to be avoid being seen.
Yeah it could be that he didn't want to be seen with Jen, and create more attention , but something else to think about is maybe he didn't slip out alone. Maybe with someone tall and Texan. (ohh that's right he said he's in LA editing uh huh) Why not get a little jump on Valentines Day and just like before splashy stories "of dates" is the perfect distraction of what's really happening in the boroughs with The Kid, Nic and family.
Hey Dest. You & Roma have a mission now.
ReplyDeleteI propose that you two put on your Sherlock Holmes cap, grab the magnifying glass and go to the Spotted Pig. Find the back door and make a note of its proximity to the front door where we all entered.
Then if you would, find the private party room. If you don't see it, tell your waiter that you're interested in hosting a b-day or anniversary party and do they have a private banquet room available for bookings.
This will solve it once and for all. If they don't have a private room, this would prove to some of these lamebrain PR outfits they ought to think twice about embellishing their fiction.
So several of us here from OMG have been there, too. Tom. Myself. M. Dest. Roma. It is a very small house on a street corner. The front door faces the corner and the kitchen is several doors down and downstairs through a cellar-like door, right Destiny? Downstairs is the bar and you go up a narrow staircase to the second floor where the tables are. It's very, very intimate (that's PR-correct for cramped) and the only thing I can think of is that maybe Aniston rented out that floor.
ReplyDeleteAnd how is it the paps are hanging out at the Spotted Pig? It's in the middle of a neighborhood. Why weren't the paps hanging out there when we were there? I would've worn my best T-shirt.
Some info for Destiny from the last post - The private room at Spotted Pig is on the THIRD floor.

Ohhhhh, the attic! Okay, got it!
ReplyDeleteDestiny & Roma, could you still check it out?
I don't get what the big deal is? Why check out if they've got a back door/ a party room/ whatever? Jake was there celebrating his friend's birthday. So what? Ah... it something to add to the conspiracy theory, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteBesides the Roof Club at the Gramercy, there's the private club upstairs at Downtown Cipriani, the third floor of the Spotted Pig and Upstairs, promoter Danny A.'s Soho club, which is one floor up from his just-opened hot spot Downstairs.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the seven rooms theory, entry to these places must be not only highly exclusive, but highly visible as well. It's not enough to be admitted: You must be seen entering, so that other people wonder what special mojo you have that gets you in. Take for instance the roundabout entrance to one of the most exclusive rooms in New York City, the third floor of the Spotted Pig. Though the restaurant - owned by chef April Bloomfield, restaurateur Ken Friedman and a host of celebrity investors including Mario Batali, Michael Stipe, Bono, Fatboy Slim and Jay-Z (who owns the building) - is housed in a modest West Village brownstone, it boasts a social hierarchy as codified as Versailles. The co-owners use it as a clubhouse for themselves and their famous friends, including Bill Clinton, Josh Hartnett, chefs Anthony Bourdain and Marco Pierre White, and, of course, Jay-Z's wife, Beyonce.
This exclusive apartment is ironically small and simple, housing a tiny open kitchen, a sofa, two long tables and two fridges. "One is stocked with beer," says a regular. To fully understand the cachet of spending an evening in what is, essentially, a small one-bedroom apartment, it helps to know the history of the Spotted Pig. Before the restaurant was renovated in 2005, the second floor was the "after-hours lounge for special people," according to Brant Stead, a former sommelier there. After the renovation, in which the second floor was turned into spillover dining space for the restaurant, "everyone still wanted to go 'upstairs,' having heard about this mystery other floor," so the restaurant ended up turning the third floor into an even more exclusive space. Not that everyone has taken notice. To this day, Brant says, "people get upstairs and are amazed how easy it is to get to the second floor," not realizing they're still in the non-special section.
There are three ways to get into the Spotted Pig's apartment: One, you are famous and a friend of the house. Two, you are in the entourage of a famous person and/or a friend of a friend of the house. Lastly, you are rich enough to rent out the room. (Private parties there run $3,500 for three hours - strictly enforced - with food but not alcohol included.) Furthermore, there are two physical paths to the third floor. You can either ascend a private staircase by typing a secret code on a keypad (the stairs lead directly to the third floor, bypassing the hoi polloi of the inferior floors), or you can traipse through the rubbernecking crowds of the first and second floor bars before cutting through a security door and gliding up a different flight of stairs. Clearly, the latter is preferred. Zoe Lister-Jones, a 25-year-old actress who recently found herself swept up there in the company of a well-known actor, says, "As we walked through the restaurant to the third floor, everybody turned to look at us. I could see they were full of envy and desire. It was awesome."
Beyond The Velvet Rope
Ah, how nice to immediately have an entire article to explain the blueprint arrangement of The Spotted Pig. How timely and efficient. Almost like magic. So is that the research PR did when they wrote up their "intimate" sighting of Jake & Jen? The internet sure makes planting stories a lot easier, doesn't it. Could you find a similar elaborate explanation of that backdoor exit, please? The one Jake supposedly went out of because he didn't want to be seen, yet his "presence" was somehow noticed by everyone and is plastered all over the internet.
ReplyDeleteThere are some extremely helpful folks out there, aren't there. So eager to help.
ReplyDeleteYou know, if I didn't know any better, I would almost wonder if Jake & Austin weren't trying to pop another bun out of the oven with all of the smoke blowing that's going on right now.
Exactly the kind of smoke blowing that went on prior to #3's birth.
There's a reason for all of this. There's a reason all right for all of the frantic, desperate hooking up of Jake with every female in Hollywood. Not positive what it is; it's one of those deals where you just have to wait it out. And that's what it is - it's frantic, it's desperate and he's starting to make John Mayer look like Gilligan from Gilligan's Island which is kind of scary.
I reckon if Jake came across the Seinfeld Marble Rye lady on the streets of Brooklyn, PR would have him acting cozy and smitten with her as well.
Jake and Austin are so together this weekend and through Valentines Day. All this nonsense is so funny.

ReplyDeleteoops just read the disclaimer for this blog, so you all don't believe Jake is gay or else you wouldn't hide behind the below disclaimer. Its ironic that you all call Jake the coward or allude to him lying about his sexuality. But you hide behind a disclaimer stating you only speculate about Jake's sexuality for entertainment purposes. How would you feel if someone dedicated a blog speculating that you cheated on your significant other, were a prostitute or claimed you were gay but married your husband or wife just to hide all for entertainment purposes?

Wow what cowards you are, if you really believe Jake was gay you wouldn't fear getting sued.
^^ Apparently they know what goes on behind closed doors.
ReplyDelete-Jake and Austin are part of some big epic gay coverup. Talked into this by the evil that is known as Jake's PR
*They have is it now three kids? Hiding in some basement in Southern California. While Jake and Austin travel the world (separately).
If it is FACT how can they be sued?
Looking at Austin's tweets. So if he was on a plane with The Rock, 16 hours ago, and then landed in LA 10 hours ago, which is like a 6 hour flight and The Rock was still on his plane. Then he wasn't flying from Wilmington to LA.
ReplyDeleteThere are no direct flights from Wilmy to LA, and it doesn't take 6 hours to fly from Chicago or Dallas hubs, so it look like he got a flight on in the East Coast - hmmm.. like New York. Which surprise surprise has direct flights to LA.
So if he left NYC this morning, where was he last night? Hmmm maybe the devil(ed eggs) knows.
Poor Tom, trying to convince himself that 2 grown men are secretly spending Valentine's weekend together like some characters in some cheesey Harleqin novel.
ReplyDeleteFake made up het holiday to sell flowers.
Pretty hard to do BTW when one is tweeting from L.A. and the other has been sighted in NY as per FB today but hey maybe one can fly to NY or visa versa on Monday!
Well like I pointed out that it looks like Austin was in NY yesterday. And Austin flying back to the East coast for Monday - well they do do it other times that have to go to LA and be back for shooting at the beginning of the week.
ReplyDeleteFlying is an amazing thing, it cuts down travel time considerably. Let's see are there people who can regulary fly to coast one day and fly to the other coast the next day or two.. uhh pilots, flight attendants, crew,
No need to go to NY to connect, this site lists connection from NC to L.A. and I don't see NY:

You do realize that people don't always tweet in real time.
You really are jealous over Jen and that shitty story, LOL!

Of course you twist what I said.
ReplyDeleteThere are no direct flights from NC to LA.
There are direct flights from NYC to LA
A flight from NYC to LA would take about the amount of time it was with Austin tweeting.
Austin didn't use NY TO CONNECT.
It looks like he was in NY to start his trip from this morning.
So him being in NYC last night could be a real possibility, and a reason that Jake left the party and not seen. Because he WASN'T ALONE. And who gives Jake and Austin better cover than Jake being seen with woman.
But the whole story is BS, not Jake being there because I believe he was but the rest is BS.
ReplyDeleteAs Gossip cop pointed out it was a private party so how could anyone observe what was going on.
The way that place is set up, I don't see why anyone would need to sneak out, nobody saw the rest of her guests leave, don't tell me they snuck out too!
No need for them to go there if they didn't want to be seen, could have just sent her flowers or see her after the spotted pig get together.
The fact is it all still does not matter.
ReplyDeleteAustin in L.A. to edit, Jake at Spotted Pig does not change:
Jake speaking as a married man.
Austin with Jake in Leadville, a FACT that neither guy obviously wanted the public to know, although Austin did his darnedest to throw hints our way. It was supposed to be a secret but Brandon Fuller unknowingly revealed that Austin was there. This picture was and continues to be a bombshell revelation.
It does not change my belief that these 2 guys are married. They have 3 kids together and you better believe that's Jake with Austin in North Carolina the latter part of the week following Jake being in Nashville.
Sorry but no amount of snarking, restaurant blueprint mapping out, flight research, disclaimer flag waving or sexual harassment is ever, ever going to change that.
Amazing that the now legendary pictures of Jake with Austin at the Lakers game continues to drive some people crazy.
ReplyDeleteYou wanna know why?
Because now more than ever is it apparent that this Jake is now long, long gone from the public eye. He's toast. He's buried. He's maybe never to be seen ever again by a public camera.
What do Jake's followers and trolls get now?
Scowling and frowning Jake. Nothing but blurry, scratchy and grainy, dark nocturnal pictures and video of who we either literally have to be told is Jake or we have to Zoom Out and Blow Up in order to see that it is or could be Jake. Nothing but 1000 written accounts of a "Jake was there". He's exiting via back doors, he "leaves parties early", he's scurrying so fast out of that health food store he's railing on one foot to the car. He's dating, flying with, "after", hitting on, "pining forever for", smitten with how many women alone in the months of January and February 2011? The way his PR has it going right now, Jake is literally meeting himself coming and going at airports and restaurants with all these ladies. He's double and triple booked. He's literally become John Mayer.
This is the Jake his followers are "allowed" to see. It's a Jake no one recognizes anymore. It's a Jake that the majority of long time fans have a really hard time even liking because someone tell me any thinking female out there who still likes John Mayer.
But those Laker pictures, pictures of absolute besotted boy love, revive and rekindle the memories of the Jake that brought his fans to the original WFT, OMG and WFT2. Not to mention the other fan sites that are now tombs and deserted ghost towns of people who have given up, thrown in the towel and moved on.
Those Laker pictures show a past and memory that only glaringly emphasizes the Bizarre and the Comical that surrounds Jake and his public persona at this present time.
Why is Jake so elusive now? Why is Jake hiding? Hiding behind a forest of hair, hats pulled over eyes, elbows raised over profile, behind tweets that place him in L.A. and New York City at the same time? Suddenly hiding behind a dance card that knows no end?
This is what troubles the trolls. It's not that OMG'ers and T2'ers discuss Jake's gayness. We've been doing that since the blogs' inception, give me a break. It's not about questioning a private room or a back door.
It's about what has been revealed and uncovered within the last year on OMG and T2. And there are no words to respond to this obvious bit of unsettledness except..........
Sorry!
Of course, I should issue a clarification. There are varying degrees of what individual commenters believe in between OMG and WFT2 or even on OMG itself.
ReplyDeleteCertainly not everyone believes Jake ever was "with" Austin or is with him now. Not everyone believes in the existence of "BT", let alone two or three.
What there is no doubt of on the two blogs is the degree of revelations with regards to fake "romances" and PR-driven drivel and spin.
Hope that helps to clarify a couple of previous statements so that false assumptions are not made.
I did have this thought last night as I was winding down. Another possibility could be to say Jake was at the party so people can place him in NY, think he's in there for the weekend. When Austin might not be in LA alone at all. (And I don't mean Sophia who's in NY for Fashion Week)
ReplyDeleteIt was supposed to be a secret but Brandon Fuller unknowingly revealed that Austin was there. This picture was and continues to be a bombshell revelation.
ReplyDeleteYou should take up comedy full-time
Can't you come up with your own stuff, Jack?
ReplyDeleteThe best you can do is keep stealing my material.
-Jake and Austin are part of some big epic gay coverup.
ReplyDeleteWhat's happening is gay and it's a cover-up, but hardly epic.
What there is no doubt of on the two blogs is the degree of revelations with regards to fake "romances" and PR-driven drivel and spin.
ReplyDeleteExactly PG. And that is why I brought up the whole thing about the Spotted Pig layout, which it turns out I was wrong about. I just like to figure out how much spinning they are doing. And if Jake didn't go out that back door with Jen, then he went out the front door which is only a few feet away.
If Jake was there, why was he so afraid of being papped? Jake who lives for publicity when he's with a beard, and has the paps on speed dial, is sure cranky with the paps when it doesn't suit him, or he's trying to hide something. Or maybe he was just never there.
Just for the heck of it I googled around to see if I could find any sightings of Dwayne Johnson the past few days. Couldn't find any, but I did find out his latest film is currently shooting in Wilmington.
ReplyDeleteThat's what made me think last night that the other possibility was they may have said Jake was there to place him in NY. With Austin going to LA, and people thinking Jake was in NY, he could actually be in LA with Austin.
ReplyDeleteI do find the timing of Austin's editing in LA and getting out of being dragged around from one fashion show to the next again pretty damn amusing. Smart cookie Mr. Nichols is.
