Second Serve

All eyes on center court this weekend.

And who's skinny stems got the chance to be on such hallowed grass?
Yup you got it.
It's all about Wimbledon and what better than some more pics.

There is a special connection between this year's Wimbledon to the movie.

How?

It's this year's Women's Finalist Maria Sharapova.
She was on the red carpet grass for the Hollywood premiere Sept 13, 2004.

Austin joined his fellow cast mates Kirsten and Paul, and tennis pro Pat Cash to open the movie.Looking more like he was heading to the opening of "The Book of Mormon", he was a pair with Claire.

But who was doing the singles thing that night? Kiki.

Where's Jake? He was in town, they were "dating" and they had done the red carpet thing before, even TDAT.

Was he afraid he'd rush the net this time?

'Cause you know who could blame him?

New pictures of Jake on IHJ.

Jake Andres Int'l Traning Center

He was at the Andrews International Training Center yesterday most likely to get more time handling his gun and hitting the firing range to get some practice in before the movie starts filming next week.

Check out the shoes. He's trying to break in and get use to his new standard issued.

Jake at the Training Center?

Mama likey.

Just in time for the 4th - one hot, bangin' little firecracker.

And Austin in Wimbledon? Wow. Nice backcourt screencap, Special!!

He looks very beautiful in white.

Sorry for the gush. But you gotta call it as you see it.


Man, there is one big fat ol' fly that has been buzzing around since last night. He is extremely annoying. I thought my brother said that a fly had a 24 hr lifespan. Well, he would be wrong and I'm going to have to tell him.

BTW, we have connection!! Life is good.

Jake does work the white tee well.

Do I see.........do I see.......

Is our Austie boy manscaping the chest????????? Or is that a snack size rug on his chest???????????


Whaaaaaa? Has he been holding out on me????

This just opens up a whole new kettle of worms. I'm going to have to step back a minute, lol. This is going to have to call for Control +.

;D

Well, as Lt. Frank Drebin would say, Move along, folks, move along. There's nothing to see here, nothing to see.


lol. False alarm! Dang, my eyes were deceiving me.

Sealskin status quo. Back to regularly scheduled programming.

But very nicely done ripples.

I do like this guy. Sounds like he is on to Jake. No big surprise though. You would have to be an idiot at this point not to be. I think Jake should blame POP and not BBM for making him seem Gay to those who didn't know already know..

the real m said...

Those tweets are really funny. Lets hope he gets some more. Palm Springs is a major gay vacation destination area. I have not been there in a while, but when we retire its on my list of possible cities to relocate to. Desert heat, art community, lots of things to do at night after it cools down. Generally too hot to be out in the daytime this time of year.

That last picture of Austin is super. That torso gets me every time. Jake too, I'm guessing.

Gay Palm Springs in a nutshell:

Established as a desert hideaway for Hollywood celebs and moguls in the 1930s, Palm Springs has developed into the premier wintertime gay resort town on the West Coast in recent decades. There are more gay-exclusive (and clothing-optional) resorts here than any city in the world, not to mention a considerable number of gay bars, restaurants, and shops with strong gay followings. This compact city of about 50,000 is also a popular draw for fans of casino gaming, golfing, and hiking, and the city has enjoyed a considerable spike in popularity and trendiness just in the past few years.



And OMG is just a mecca for education.

Methodical Muser said...

Ah, the Flavorful Fire. Cholula is hot and so is the weather today in Palm Springs. It's supposed to reach a high of 110 degrees! ¡Ay, caramba!

Love Austin's sense of humor.

Open letter to the Parker resort in Palm Springs, where I am spending the next 10 days for a conference.

Dear Parker resort,
You call yourself a five-star luxury resort, a veritable desert oasis, but your hotel rooms don’t even have HBO? No HBO?! Really?
You are aware that HBO only costs an extra $10 per month, Parker? You already charge more than $500 per night for most of your hotel rooms, so couldn’t you just tack on the extra cost? I doubt any of your guests would notice. They sure as hell haven’t noticed the $18 for a cheeseburger.

Hey Parker, do you now who has HBO?
Every Motel 6 everywhere.

Motel 6 also bolts all of its appliances to the floor so guests can’t sell them for crack. That means you’re being outclassed by a joint that has a sign on its marquee bragging about the consecutive days it’s gone without a dead hooker.
Have you even seen HBO, Parker? Because it’s freaking awesome. They even have a slogan: “It’s not TV, it’s HBO.” I’m not entirely sure what that means but, hey, it’s HBO and they’ve won about a gazillion Emmys.

Speaking of Emmys, a lot of famous actors and actresses have stayed here at the Parker —Nicole Kidman, Kevin Spacey and Brangelina. But if they ever wanted to watch themselves on one of your TVs, the cuss words would have to be changed to “shoot,” “fudge” and “mother father.” Because, unlike HBO, the channels on the Parker’s TVs don’t allow cursing and, if you ask me, that’s a mother-father shame.

The last time I stayed at your hotel for a conference, I saw actress Kristin Davis in a Jacuzzi. You know who Kristen Davis is, don’t you Parker? Oh that’s right, you probably don’t because she used to star on Sex and the City which, coincidentally, aired on HBO.
Actor Robert Downey Jr. was once busted on your premises for possession of cocaine and methamphetamine. He was also caught with a female “friend” dressed as—wait for it— Wonder Woman. I like to party as much as the next guy, Parker, but if Downey Jr. had been given the option of HBO that night, maybe he would’ve skipped the druggin‘ and just gotten straight to the superhero lovin‘, then relaxed with an HBO double-feature of Batman Begins and Superman Returns.
You know what, Parker? You go on and on about your 16,500-square-foot spa with its two indoor pools, steam rooms, sauna and hydrotherapy treatments. Your website says it’s part of a total mind-and-body experience to help your guests relax, but do you know how I like to relax, Parker? By watching HBO.

I guess that kind of blows a hole in your holistic approach. Ha-ha. I made a pun! (Lighten up, Parker. You’d probably have a better sense of humor if you watched more of HBO’s original comedies.)
I know times are tough right now, Parker, and everyone is cutting back, but maybe there are other areas where you can skimp besides HBO. For starters, my hotel bathroom has three different kinds of soap. And, so far, I’ve only discovered two different body parts I can lather. One time, the maid walked in. (You know, she really should knock.)
Don’t get me wrong Parker, I’m definitely enjoying my stay here, what with the 400-thread-count bed sheets, the swingin‘ ’70s décor and the vintage paparazzi photo of Jackie O. hanging over the commode. Though sometimes, I have to admit, knowing Jackie is staring at the back of my head from beyond the grave has inhibited my ability to “make.”
And speaking of the commode, there’s a second telephone in my bathroom, which on my list of desired hotel amenities ranks right around fiftieth, or 45 places behind HBO. Tell me Parker, who exactly am I supposed to call from a toilet telephone? I can honestly say I have never been so excited about anything that came out of my butt that I needed to call someone about it, let alone before I stood up.

I doubt Barack Obama even has a toilet phone in the White House. But I’ll bet there’s one thing the White House does have. Wait for it . . .

HBO.
