When OTH is over, the next chance to see Austin on screen will be in the movie Beautiful Boy, as writer Cooper Stearns.
"Bill and Kate hopelessly try to find some hint of an explanation after finding out that their only son committed a mass shooting at his university before taking his own life.
They struggle numbly through the funeral, the media onslaught, and the awkward pity from relatives and friends. Their already strained marriage is tested as they realize all they have left with each other is their shared grief and confusion—and the unfortunate legacy of their son. This life-altering event forces Bill and Kate to face their feelings of guilt, rage, blame, self-discovery –and ultimately hope—so that they can finally see each other and their chance for happiness again with clear eyes."
Cooper is chronicling the story of what happened that day and the days that follow for those left behind.
Beautiful Boy is opening in limited release on May 20th.
Beautiful Boy Official Website
And with that Austin adds initials to the alliteration movie club.
... Donnie Darko, Bubble Boy, Good Girl, Moonlight Mile.
OTH is still in repeats for two more weeks. But when it returns its Austin's night to shine, as director this time. And a little spoiler - looks like both Julian and BrookeDavis(TM) will each have a little one to hold.
For Two Wheel Tuesday
What happens to an impoverished developing nation town when you flood it with 20,000 bicycles? You lift three times that number of people out of poverty. Pedals for Progress and founder David Schweidenback have been shipping used American bicycles to Rivas, Nicaragua for the last two decades and the transformation has been incredible.
Bicycle City Film (official site)
Pedals for Progress "rescue bicycles destined for overburdened U.S. landfills and ship them to developing countries where they are sorely needed and highly valued. P4P bikes are put to work not only as basic transportation, but are used as a supplement to school and community programs. The bikes are adapted for use as trash haulers, produce trucks, taxis, and farm machinery. Some of the municipalities even sponsor recreational cycling programs, making bikes available to all who care to participate."
Have a bike to donate or want to find out if there is a bike drive near you? Check it out here:

What just came on after I posted? Donnie Darko.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting story Beautiful Boy sound like.
ReplyDeleteI have an old bicycle I was trying to figure out what to do with - refurbish or donate. I'll check out the Pedals for Progress site! :)
Jake Gyllenhaal's new "mystery" girl is Taylor Swifty-esque
ReplyDeleteJake at the photocall in Madrid via I'm Not Obsessed
ReplyDeleteand this from BestWeekEver
Now, don’t take it from me (really, don’t), but I find a strange satisfaction in staring at this photo while listening to Abba’s “Fernando” on repeat.
Wow.
ReplyDeleteJake looks incredible in the new Just Jared post. I'm..............
speechless.
Class? Show of hands?
Who thinks Austin misfired on all of his pistons by leaving that breathing beauty for 12 days?
Nurse? Please check that man's pulse. He cannot be functioning properly.
Austin preferred to be on a boat across the world than with............
ReplyDeleteriiiiiiiight.
And so Austin gets a Jessica Fletcher shake of the head for that brand of thinking. Oooookaaaaay.....
Jake looks really good.
ReplyDeleteSomehow his collar opened up a bit more in the middle of the photocall and it shows a little glimpse of gold around his neck.
Here's Jake in Madrid via Just Jared.
And here's the whole slew of pictures from the photocall in Spain over at IHJ
Special, I haven't seen Jake look that good for so many pictures in a shoot in a long while.
ReplyDeleteHe's incredible looking.
I'm sorry but there just isn't another guy in Hollywood who can touch that. Not Ryan Reynolds, Clooney, even Gosling (and Gosling is kind of being a late bloomer, to me).
Jake has that X factor. He breathes sex appeal from head to toe. There is just no other way to describe it.
The guy just oozes it.
I think my keyboard is steaming up just thinking about it.
Aw, and I had my Jessica Fletcher avatar up for that steam-filled comment, too.
ReplyDeleteIt's all Austin's fault!!!!!!! Dangit, Austin. You and your stinkin' boat.
lol. grrrrr.
What do you do, laugh or growl? You do both.
And on the subject of steam.....I just finished Ch 21 and sent it off to my beta.
ReplyDelete5700+ words. It is a long-y one and Hobs doesn't even enter the picture until the very end.
Yak, yak, yak, yak, yak.
What a blast. I had more fun writing it.
**SIGH**. I love it when those 2 guys are just yapping in my head.
Man, had internet problems all day, finally back tonight.
ReplyDeleteJake is looking good, that's for sure. And is this mystery blonde a friend or assistant, or is Jake interviewing beards.
Yes, box office matters, especially if you're not a tiny independent film, where you can make up the cost with not too many sales and dvds, etc.
Maybe she was the restaurant hostess and sat down to rest her feet. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI doubt Jake's interviewing beards over in Spain. Who knows if the story is even true but it certainly is getting re-tweeted.
Michelle was in on Craig Ferguson last night promoting Source Code. Here it is: You Tube
ReplyDeleteI just flipped on Craig now and Sophia's on tonight.
ReplyDeleteTalking about her roadtrip with her 2 friends and her dog in her Audi diesel station wagon.
Wonder when we will hear from AUS10. It's been more than 12 days.
ReplyDeleteDear Ted:
ReplyDeleteI know we usually talk about romances and showmances, but here's a potential bromance for you: Jake Gyllenhaal and Orlando Bloom. Both are Buddhist, both are often seen riding bikes or motorcycles, both live and work in Hollywood. Don't you think they'd make a great friendship? Or are their Vices in the way? The rescues all send kisses!
—thalassatx
Dear Bros Over Shows:
Jake and Orlando? Talk about a beautiful bromance. And if anything, their Vices bring them closer together. Thing is, that is too much pretty boy for one successful friendship. I can already smell the jealousy. Plus, Orli has a fam to take care of, while Jakey is roaming the restaurants with some mystery blondes. Not quite the same lifestyle. Still, you're right, though. Kisses to your pooches!
Dear Ted:
Is Toothy Tile a college drop-out by any chance?
—jannalbin
Dear Education Smeducation:
Why not just ask his name?
Why not just ask his name?
ReplyDeleteWhat a crock! Yes "just ask his name", BUT Ted will never publish your letter. Pfffffffft
Ted is really in the toilet as far as I'm concerned. I have lost so much interest and respect for him, it's not funny. He spins out nothing but absolute crap.
ReplyDeleteHe's playing the game, he's going to the Jonathan Jaxson School of Writing and worst of all...
if he thinks Orlando Blooom is in the least bit pretty, now I have to question his eyesight.
What a joke Ted is.
This is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI was just "de-friended" in LJ overnight by a long-time old-timer over my post I put up regarding Reba McEntire & Bloke Shelton.
You've got to stinkin' be kidding me.
I'll say it 100 times and 100 people can de-friend me all they want.
It was a discriminatory remark of the highest kind and it goes beyond the most ill-advised hook-up with ol' Tay.
You know, the day we clam up, afraid to speak up, afraid to speak out against stuff like what those 2 said before an audience at a podium, is the day we may as well just sit in a rocker and watch the clouds roll by.
ReplyDelete**EXHALE**. gggaaargh.
ReplyDeleteOkay, enuff said on that.
I'm wondering if that little dinghy that Mr. Nichols is on tug-boated over towards Spain's/where else is it Jake's going? way....
Wouldn't surprise me in the least.
Off to work!
All this talking about animated Jake and blonde. Wonder if it was at this?
ReplyDeleteJake Gyllenhaal, tucking into a plate of steak frites at 2 a.m. during an SNL afterparty at Primehouse in N.Y.C. The actor was joined by Alec Baldwin, Steve Martin, Lorne Michaels and host Elton John. During the bash, the staff brought out a chocolate cake and sang "Happy Birthday" to Baldwin, who turned
53.
People: Caught in the Act
I thought the insinuation was the tot e tot took place overseas?
ReplyDeleteNonetheless, I'm not even paying it no mind. Until I see a picture (time & date stamp, please), it's nothing but rot to me. Just more rot.
They're playing a Maroon 5 song on my internet station right now. You know, I heard the first 3 notes of that song and I had a feeling who it was going to be. Then you hear the first lyric words from the lead and you know right away who it is and all their music sounds the same.
LOLLLLL!!! Lookit my little tugboat. Little Toot.
LOLLLLLLLLLLL!!!! aw man.

You may not think Orlando Bloom is pretty or attractive or whatever, and that's cool. But Ted is hardly alone in thinking that he is. You're going to have to question a lot of people's eyesight, not just Ted's, lol.

ReplyDeleteAll this talking about animated Jake and blonde. Wonder if it was at this?
According to Ted (whatever that is worth), it was a brunch in Tribeca.
If it was supposedly a brunch it sounds like he was with a member of his team, or an old friend from the city.
ReplyDeleteThe source of the sighting was FB. A woman that lives in NY posted that she saw Jake at brunch with a blonde that resembled Swift, this was Sunday before he left for Europe. She said that she was eavesdropping and it sounded like a first date thingy. The post appeared on her FB late in the day after the sighting, late Sunday/early Monday I think from her iphone.
ReplyDeleteTed's story was posted yesterday.
Ted obviously lifted his "story" from her post since it's not locked and anyone can read it, the dead giveaway is that he mentioned Swift and it's the same restauraunt, he embellished the rest like adding McAdams because he likes to ship Jake with her.
So no one contacted Ted about this, he found it online like everyone else.

ReplyDeleteFair enough. I'll stand alone on my island then! lol
How convenient that Jake would be hooked up with a mysterious blond before his Spain trip. I agree with Special that Jake's gay associations early Sunday morning at that SNL affair, made his people want to make sure they had one last hetero moment for Jake before he took off to Spain.
ReplyDeleteFirst date? Yeah right!
I'm not from the US and the word "lookit" is not used in my country. So Google was my friend and the first search result was Urban Dictionary:
ReplyDeleteAbbreviation of "look at that" or "look at this," typically uttered shrilly in public places by small children seeking to draw attention to mundane objects that they, for some reason, consider fascinating.
No offence meant prairiegirl :)
In what world is a birthday party for Alec Baldwin considered a gay event? Steve Martin? Lorne Michaels? Am I missing anything? Oh yeah, Elton John threw the party. I guess in your world Obvious that is a "gay event", how homophobic.
ReplyDeleteIt wouldn't be Posted at People.com if his team was so concerned.
Meanwhile Teddy has been caught again using info he has found on twitter or FB for his alleged "sources".
He never said it was a FB sighting, he implied that someone contacted him, yeah right.
The link to the FB sighting was posted on the previous post and was ignored just like my comment above was, I wonder why?
You should ask yourself why Ted feels the need to do this, that sighting was only noticed by Jake fans, now it's being tweeted and popping up all over the place like he knew it would.
I wasn't saying that set it up because of the afterparty. At first I wondered if that is when they saw Jake so animated with the blonde. After the energy of a comedy show I could see Jake "on" as it were.
ReplyDeleteSunday before leaving for Spain - it looks to be more and more like someone from his group.
^^^^^
ReplyDeleteThat should be gay associations, Elton was the only gay person there "obvious", unless Lorne, Alec and Steve are gay as well.
I wonder if that woman knows that all the Jake/Blonde tweets are based on her FB sighting?

ReplyDeleteBull.

Know what can be done with that smiley face?
Bite me.
No need to attack. Not everything is a sinister plot. :)
ReplyDeleteYou blew your comment when you gave the Urban dictionary definition.
ReplyDeleteYou're a troll.
OK if you say so. :)

ReplyDeleteWhy are you so stirred up Jack? Someone piss in your cornflakes this morning?
ReplyDeleteAnd why in the world should we believe you about some FB posting. Easy to make up things when you refuse to link to it.
And even if there is such a post, talk about obsessed, who has time to go combing through FB for references to Jake? I seriously doubt Ted or his intern has the time to do something like that, so yes, I'm sure someone sent him the sighting, and he probably confirmed it with the restaurant.

ReplyDeleteI don't know who he was with or in what capacity, but there a lot of hours between brunch and leaving for Spain, by way of Heathrow. According to Duncan's twitter they left late Sunday night.
With Maggie and Peter on vacation in Hawaii who was Jake going to go to brunch with. One of the crew or a friend from NY. We know that one of his assistants is a blonde as well from pictures.
