Barefootin'

Add another pair of funky footwear to Austin's shoe collection, but this one may make him a Leadfoot.


And OTH fan tweeted that :

These are the type of shoes @Aus10Nichols was wearing when i met him (his looked better then these tho :p)- hereforOTHAnd what are they? They are the Vibram Fivefingers Bikila Running Shoes.

Just a funkier version of the barefoot running shoes that are part of the movement that author Christopher McDougall writes about in his book Born to Run.
Jake and Peter running in a less funky version of barefoot running shoes.

Which is the book that Peter is planning to do a movie about, and headed to meet the McDougall at Leadville last year to check it all out. And who else was there?


Hmmm.

And then what did Austin tweet later?

New Obsession. The Leadville 100. Anybody want to train with me?
Sept 3 - AUS10

Wonder how he got so inspired?Or maybe he was in The Court of the Barefoot King or something? ; )

Jake Gyllenhaal sure is popular with the ladies!

The actor, 30, has been spending quality time with his female friends this week.

First up, Anna Kendrick got close with Gyllenhaal during a pit stop at a gas station, where the End of Watch costars stocked up on drinks and sandwiches, reportedly after a quick trip to Las Vegas with a group of friends. A source insists the two are just costars and pals.

Back in Los Angeles, Rashida Jones joined her longtime friend for lunch and laughs with pals at organic, vegan eatery Café Gratitude on Sunday.

And on Tuesday, Gyllenhaal met up with another friend, Cougar Town and I Don't Know How She Does It star Busy Philipps. Philipps, who is married to Marc Silverstein, and Gyllenhaal are the godparents of Michelle Williams's daughter, Matilda.

Did anyone catch the chronology this new little piece from People sets up?

Kendrick is first, not second.

A belated Happy Birthday to Clarity and Roma. I hope you both enjoyed your day.

prairiegirl said...

After the few minutes of possible rebellion followed by 24 hours of panic, frantic dogpaddling and stressful damage control, Jake was worn out by last night and so what did he do?

He had a Bridget Jones moment and went for his kind of comfort food - frozen yogurt. And Busy probably had her ear talked off.

prairiegirl said...

You've got to watch these little yogurt places though, lol. They are springing up everywhere around here - the latest thing. Of course, Kansas is always a year behind everyone else.

But the thing is see, these places are self-serve. You have allllll these machines where you serve your own yogurt so you can mix them up. Then they have tons of toppings. You serve them yourself. Then they weigh by the pound.

LOLLLLLL. Reminds me of that Seinfeld episode where Jerry & Elaine got hooked on that frozen yogurt, thinking it was so low calorie and they ended up putting on weight, Kramer pointed out to them. LOLLL!!

They are really fun, though. I need to go back to one. This way, you get exactly what you want.

Yes, I did catch the timeline reversal. Eonline and several other sites indicated yesterday that the Subway Sandwich "event" took placed on Labor Day. Now, the People entry indicates it took place prior to Monday. Guess they finally found out that Monday was a Federal & Union Holiday.

prairiegirl said...

One of the comments on People:

Usually when guys have this many girlfriends they are same-sex oriented. There is nothing wrong with that, and I wish more in Hollywood would be out and proud.



Again: Jake and Austin blew this one big time and the covering up is so over the top, it's ridiculous.

They fly under the radar allllll summer long, living the discreet life. Hardly seen anymore. Hardly tweeting anymore. Very few photo ops anymore.


And all of a sudden, here we go again. Now it's 3 ladies in what - 2 or 3 days for Jake, one of which is married? And is Anna Kendrick still seeing Edgar Wright?

Now there are going to be the snarky lurkers who will say "Well, can't he have lady friends?"

Sure. That's what Busy is. But notice where they put Busy: they group her with the other two single ladies under the headline of Jake being a ladies' man. So that's not putting Busy in a good light although People, I notice, is quick to point out that Busy is indeed married.

I'm sure Jake's people were told to tell People please point that out.

You know, Jake is treading very, very precarious territory now with his lying and deception. It's one thing to do it with those who are single and unattached.

But where was Busy's husband in that picture? In the backseat of the car? (And paps hang out at Pinkberry?? Is it another hot spot like the Chevron/Subway??? LOL)

And in the picture with Anna Kendrick, I'm sorry but to me she looks uncomfortable. She looks stiff and her left hand is hardly even touching his waist in return.

If she does indeed still have a boyfriend, he was way out of line with what he did.

But I don't know about that since I've never even heard of her until this movie. And she just barely came on board the movie, too. That's what is so bizarre about that whole thing.

prairiegirl said...

Oh! Add another stop to the GalPal Revival Tour: I guess there's a Starbucks stop in there somewhere as well according to another site. Starbucks came the same day as the Gas Station/Subway munch down.

According to Access Hollywood:

FIRST PUBLISHED: September 6, 2011 2:33 PM EDT

By Jesse Spero

LOS ANGELES, Calif. --

Friends Or More Than Friends For Jake?: Does Jake Gyllenhaal have romance brewing or is he just spending time with a few gal pals? The Hollywood bachelor – who has been previously linked to Taylor Swift and Reese Witherspoon – was spotted with both Rashida Jones and Anna Kendrick over the holiday weekend. Jake and the “Parks and Recreation” star (and his dog Atticus) enjoyed lunch at Cafe Gratitude in Los Angeles on Sunday, E! Online reported. Then on Monday, Jake was spotted heading to Las Vegas with his “End of Watch” Anna. The duo was reportedly joined by friends on the one-day Labor Day trip and then they were spotted late last night in LA at a Starbucks and then Subway. Judging by the casual meals, we’re guessing Jake and his gals are just pals.



LOL! So because the money spent is so paltry, AH is figuring these were just friendly play dates.
lol.

I'm just kind of shaking my head at this whole thing.

prairiegirl said...

It all just showed me one thing. Like I said before but I'd taken my comment down but I'm putting it back up.


Those 2 boys have a bun in the oven.

Methodical Muser said...

Unlike Soapy, Austin was actually in Leadville last August. That would be the difference with a distinction.

Hey, Special, the quote from Austin about McDougall and the Leadville 100 was even closer to the August event than you think. Not September 8, but actually September 3:

@AUS10NICHOLSAUSTIN NICHOLS
New Obsession. The Leadville 100. Anybody want to train with me?
3 Sep 10 via Twitter for BlackBerry®



And, later on, there was a mid-September interview that was posted on the EverythingAustin website where he provided another interesting glimpse into a certain shared and timely passion with Jake:

Interviewer: Firstly, how is training going for your half marathon?

Austin: Training is going well. I have to run as little as possible or else I will shrink into a skeleton. I have never run 5 miles in my life. The other day I ran 11.2. I just read ‘Born To Run’ [by Christopher McDougall]. Incredible book and very inspiring. It made me want to run run run. Run barefoot. The way mother nature intended.

Anna Kendrick- Academy Award Nominee said...

But I don't know about that since I've never even heard of her until this movie

"Up in the Air" with George Clooney and Vera Farmiga. She's the best one out of the crapfest known as the Twilight cast. And she's going to the Toronto International Film Festival this upcoming week to promote 50/50 the comedy/cancer movie with Joseph Gordon Levitt and Seth Rogen.

She really is a fabulous actress. And girlfriend dates(dated?) Edgar Wright. That guy is awesome

Covering for Anon at 21:32:

You guys should go and look at e news. Reese was hit by a car today while jogging. They said the story is still developing, but she only had minor injuries.

Special K said...

Thanks for finding that mention in the interview Austin did with Everything Austin, M&M.

And yeah I think when I doing the post and fixing the color problem I was having, I accidentally put in 8 in for the 3 that got deleted. I've fixed it.

prairiegirl said...

And some were rolling their eyes at the theory M&M first proposed on OMG a couple of days ago about Jake's PR's attempt at a Makeover. From Hollywood Dame:

Jake Gyllenhaal is the New Gerard Butler

September 7, 2011 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

Good news everyone. Jake Gyllenhaal is a slut now! Huzzah!

The ‘End of Watch’ star is the new Gerard Butler according to new rumors that he is dating two women at the same time. He was spotted out with both Rashida Jones and Anna Kendrick during the weekend. (Gossip logic insists that celebs of the opposite gender who dine publicly together off set are automatically humping.)

Too bad Anna and Jake are said to be just work buddies and sources say that he and Rashida have been “just friends” for awhile. I am sure they bonded over mutual disdain over Gretchen winning the last season of ‘Project Runway.’



Gee, that's the kind of headline you want little BT to find someday while digging in the internet archives isn't it? Wait, where was Papa? In North Carolina? What's that about, Daddy?

Special K said...

Anna is a very good actress and very much in demand. She is in "What to Expect when you're Expecting" which is currently filming now in Atlanta.

Rashida is a great comedic actress and not only is on a hit show like Parks & Rec , but in some great indie movies too.

And Busy just is great as Laurie on Cougar Town, and she's in the new movie with Sarah Jessica Parker that's coming out.

destiny said...

Anna was amazing in Up in the Air, great movie.

I think that last article is a dig at Jake being gay--look how it ends with the comment about Project Runway, a show that is watched mostly by women and gay men. It's also a comment on the type of bearding he is doing.

prairiegirl said...

Well, you know how I am with movies. I haven't seen Up in the Air either, lol. I do want to see the new Bridget Jones movie.

Now everytime I watch Bridget Jones, I'm going to think of Jake going out for yogurt late at night with his gal pal Busy. lol

prairiegirl said...

Well, it's a laugh a minute and drama the next, isn't it? One thing's for sure, When something like this erupts like a bag of Jolly Time Popcorn in the microwave, you know that they're trying to hide something, camouflage something, distract from something.

Sure's shootin'. Okay, well, off to bed! Another pile of laughs is work at the moment. We are all dragging like the Grape Ape's arms. Our office is exhausted and now we know we're going to be working again this weekend. That really stinks. Overtime money is great unless you're either too tired or not home long enough to even spend it. LOL

Methodical Muser said...

You got of love this People article that is trying to ship Jake as a Lothario. Specifically, look very carefully at the pic that is being sold as a real time photo of Jake and Busy at Pinkberry's last night. Now, we know from tweets that they were there last night, but it's highly unlikely there were paps swarming around Pinkberry's at 10:30 p.m. at night. The problem was that Jake's people needed one more cheesy photo to suggest was not with one, not two, but three different woman in less than a week. What a man! LOL!

What really gives this "campaign" away is that bizarre black strip sitting on top of Jake's head. Kinda makes him look like a matador, doesn't it? Olé!!!

I suspect that blacked out portion is put there, purposely, to hide the length of Jake's hair, which would most certainly date the photo. So PR took a file photo from another time and place and doctored it to give the impression it was from last night. One more thing that gives this all away are the seasonal clothes they are wearing. Busy has on a sweater over a blouse and Jake has on a sweatshirt. Definitely apparel for cooler weather, not for the horrible heat wave that has just hit Los Angeles.

If you blow up the pic, the "black strip" is the shadow (from pap flashes) cast by the car's sun visor seen at the top right of the pic. You can also see that his hair is much longer so yes it is from another time.

the real m said...

Wow, talk about trying to sell someone the Brooklyn bridge. We've arrived in London but are exhausted. I actually slept on the plane for a change but man it's like a cattle car there. Too tired to sightsee yet or even to surf the web . Just dropped in to say hello and do a quick check on Jake.

prairiegirl said...

Hey m!!! Lucky you! London's a place I want to check out sometime. Man, I never have a problem falling to sleep on a plane. That's one of the best ways to make a flight go faster, in fact. Except when I flew to California in May, I missed out two times on my free drink. That kind of hacked me off, lol.

Hey, Busy sure was funny on Conan last night. She's a hoot, telling the story about how Birdie got her name. Too bad they ran out of time on her segment - her story kind of took up her whole allotted time slot, but oh well. It was funny.

What a good friend she must be for Jake. I really like her. I just don't like to see something like what People magazine/Jake's people did by including the Pinkberry story under the headline that they did and including her picture along with two other single girls to try and insinuate something. I don't care that they make it clear she has a husband. A picture is a picture and the headline is what it is.

Don't use people like that and have consideration for her husband. It's just kind of good, honest human behavior.

prairiegirl said...

Matador. LOL!!! That cracks me up.

Well, hopefully all will be quiet now for awhile. I need to work on my story. I've totally lost my muse working so much lately.

Al and Stephanie Abrams are in Green Bay - I think it's the NFL's opening weekend.

Bet, that black splotch was made stronger to hide Jake's hair. The flash would not have made that kind of "convenient" camouflage for Jake's entire head. That's a good call, M&M. I hadn't noticed it before. His hair is longer and he has scruff too, yet the story is trying to make it seem like it's a photo taken from Pinkberry. His lady friends will sure do anything for him, won't they.

Agree, with Prairie Girl that Kendrick looks all kinds of uncomfortable with that hug Jake is laying on her. I wonder why that is? Didn't she like Jake?

Cover Up said...

Did you notice that the very first comment on People Magazine article has been deleted? That will tell you that People Magazine is in on the cover up and fake presentation of Jake as a ladies man. They couldn’t erase all the gay comments, but they wanted to make sure the first one got deleted because it had such high visibility. Shame on you People Magazine. Your publication is part of the problem.

My favorite comment:

Fake ladies man can't navigate himself out of the closet.

Tinfoil hat said...

LOL! All comments are still there. The "first comment" is now at the bottom (page 3) as they are in ascending order of how long ago the post was made.

Thanks for the laugh!

Special K said...

The look on Anna's face? I think Jake knew he had been seen with his ring on and used Anna to help him get further away from the camera. Notice his left side moves away from the foreground. He's turned the other way as he walks Anna toward the cars. Why did Anna look a little startled because I think she wasn't sure what to do when Jake probably said follow my lead.

Cover Up said...

^Just looked again and you're right. But, thanks for drawing me back there because it proves my point. Of the first 5 comments, I remember that 3 of those were about Jake being gay. That's not the case now. Also, the first comment was short. Something like, "I'm pretty sure he's gay." Where did that one go? The first one they left up is the one Prarie Girl quoted up above. That's pretty interesting too because it was not the first comment yesterday.

destiny said...

The only thing Jake is covering up is the fact he is gay. I bet there is some movie he is hot to be in that he thinks calls for him to play the game to help his chances of getting cast.

Methodical Muser said...

Oh, I think Jake's covering up something far more explosive than being gay. Like the fact he's a married man, with children. Looks like Gawker wasn't going to let that particular issue be buried by all the fake "ladies man" nonsense either. I'm convinced Jake screwed up and that's why all this PR press has been launched over the past few days. Kendricks looks incredibly awkward in that photo with Jake, which as has been mentioned by others, so your scenario, Special, makes alot of sense to me. Looks like Austin liked what he saw a long time ago and put a ring on it. Man's got good taste:

Speaking of snuggling celebrities: Jake Gyllenhaal smothered Twilight star Anna Kendrick with his chest at a Subway sandwich store. Can't focus on commentary, too disturbed by the wraparound sunglasses, camouflage cargo pants, stinky bread, and hey, is that a wedding band? Method preparation to play the meathead you hated from high school?

Put a Ring on It

more PR blunders said...

I think Jake knew he had been seen with his ring on and used Anna to help him get further away from the camera.

Plausible. She does look rattled in that photo. Like she doesn't know what to do. She has a longtime boyfriend too so Jake must have felt desperate to use someone like that.

Special K said...

It is doubtful that Jake will be starting a new project before the year ends.

Austin won't finish up OTH until Nov, they tend to avoid working at the same time, and doubt Jake would want to work over the holidays. (For the past 3 years he hasn't)

Plausible. She does look rattled in that photo. Like she doesn't know what to do.

I think this would be also how you know they're certainly not filming in this photo shoot. If they were filming, she would at least be leaning her head a little more warmly towards him.

Look at her head. Her neck is straight and her head isn't leaning in towards him at all.

Anna K, came into filming late. Jake filmed with America more it sounds to me like than he did with Anna Kendrick. We didn't hear about her until late in the filming process.

I don't know if Jake knew her before she came to End of Watch? If this is the first time he met her though, it wouldn't surprise me she would be uncomfortable by the neckwrap.

What do you mean? Are you thinking that day, the day of these photos, was the first time they met? They'd already filmed several scenes together by then. The Quincinera dancing scene comes to mind.

prairiegirl said...

No, that is not what I meant, 11:35. I meant the movie itself, EOW, if this is the first time he's met her.
