F'd Up

Austin has gotten back home and after all he did, there was little bit of Israel leftover for one more day.

It wasn't just the Hollywood crew having a press conference yesterday at the Inbal Hotel, but a group of US evangelic ministers too, and in the same room.

As one outlet said: "In the same room a contingent of Hollywood celebrities spoke to the media about their experiences in the Holy Land while evangelical pastors from the United States answered questions about their own tour here. Both groups were in Israel on vastly different tailor-made tours, ...But despite the varying perspectives of the country, the conclusion of both groups seemed to be the same: A visit to Israel can be fun, fulfilling and surprising on many levels." (Jerusalem Post)

And what did Austin do?

He pretty much F'd it up.

Noooooo.... not that way.

He talked about :

Floating
“ 'We don’t see people floating in the Dead Sea or doing trips in jeeps in the Golan Heights. You don’t see that in the United States when the news reports about this part of the world.' ”

Fun

and ...

Family.

Austin "noted that American media only shows certain things about Israel and added that he cannot wait to show his family back home the pictures of all the fun things he did." (Israel National News)



oh and falafel :



And Austin is home with plenty of time for the holidays.... and a birthday...

and of course Two Wheel Tuesday Today from Monorail Studios in Austin, TX

Maybe you should put that on your Christmas list Mr. Nichols. ; )

    It is wonderful to finally see pictures of Austin interacting with children who are not mini actors on the set of OTH. Kind of opens up a whole new light.

    I'm not getting tired of all the pictures & news from his trip to Israel. This is really great to have so much news of him.

    Austin "noted that American media only shows certain things about Israel and added that he cannot wait to show his family back home the pictures of all the fun things he did."

    Sounds like Austin is very proud of that family too. In one of Jake's last interviews in November he talked about spending time with the family. Just like with gay individuals who talk generically about who they are dating or hooked up with (using non-gender specific pronouns), these two guys routinely do the same with the word: family. It's more often than not the assumptions of the interviewer/writer that try to fill in the blank with their interpretation of who the guys are talking about:

    11/3/2011 (Showbiz 411)
    Gyllenhaal told me his mom, screenwriter Naomi Foner (“Running on Empty”) is prepping her new film with Elizabeth Olsen, Dakota Fanning, and Anton Yelchin. What’s Jake up to? “Just spending time with family” – meaning sister Maggie, and brother in law Peter Saarsagard….

    Well, if people didn't think Austin was gay before they sure will now. After nearly 6 months with no acknowledgement of his showmance with Soapy-poo, he waits until he's out of Israel to refer to Christmas shopping for his "girlfriend." Well, Austie, if she were your girlfriend don't you think you should have taken her with you on this trip? Being that the two of you must be inseparable by now.

    I guess Jake hopping a plane to Los Angeles the moment Austin was flying back home was a little too obvious for the CW.

    Jake hoping a plane to the west does not mean he and Austin are a couple. Austin "said" he's shopping for his girlfriend. Last I looked, Jake does not look like a girl.

    If Austin would have said he was gonna shop for his husband something tells me you would believe it then and, use it for your arguments as them being a couple.

    Evelyn is gone but looks like the guys are still shackled, bound, gagged and led around on a still-relatively short leash.

    I wonder how that leash is working now for ol' Austin? It must have been a little too loose lately - had to be tightened a notch or two as soon as his feet touched U.S. soil.

    I fully, fully agree. He tweets this idiotic, childish lie to @Israeliminister:

    This is the official Prime Minister's Office twitter account run by Dr. Eitan Eliram, New Media Director of the PM Office. http://www.pmo.gov.il/PMOEng


    How utterly disrespectful and 5th Grade could he be?

    It's like he couldn't take the praise. Couldn't handle it. Too much model behavior. He had to do something really bad. Had to get that fix.

No doubt he made it up, to get the OTH fangirls to squeal, but what an ignorant and tactless thing to do to the people of such a beautiful country that had opened its arms to these actors.

    Doesn't matter that he was being sarcastic, the point is Austin put up a tweet that portrays him as an insensitive boob. Sarcasm has it's place, but not when it comes to a diplomatic trip like this one. You should be on your best behavior. We all know he's in the closet and that Sophia Bush is his fake girlfriend, but to try to suggest that she is more important that a meeting with a Prime Minister is simply not funny. Yes, we know he didn't miss a meeting with the Head of State, but that's not the point. He is a fool for even joking about such a thing.

    That dude from Life Unexpected tweeted that they flew out as well, so I think they're back in the country. And the picture Austin tweeted was from the press conference they did yesterday, because a clip of the same time the picture was taken was included in a news thing that came out yesterday.

    And that picture is so cute! Ever since the beach pictures with them came out, I was rooting for them to get together, but then she started dating Jon and years passed, yet here we are. :laugh:

    And aww, that tweet from Austin is cute! I bet he got Soph something great!

    So glad Stephanie is back on Wake Up With Al. I was getting a little worried there and beginning to wonder if she wasn't put on some kind of forced "leave" or something. Her absences since Thanksgiving have been very weird.

    Well, supposedly Jake was tweeted at some Kanye West concert last night. Boy, that guy is just one bundle of activity, isn't he? He's in L.A., then San Fran, then NYC, back to L.A. yesterday as soon as Austin arrives home but then last night, he's off to a Kanye West music event.

    Why, he is one nomadic guy. He couldn't possibly be married or have even one child, could he? He's never in one place at any given time.

  54. prairiegirlDecember 14, 2011 at 7:07 AM

    What Austin proved to us by his latest tweet last night is that the CW has him held captive in his Sophin closet until that show is over - last episode completed on the air. He's like a fish on a flyfisherman's line, trying to flap away at times but the CW just keep reeeeeeeeling him in when the line gets too much slack on it.

    There will be no Jake & Austin sightings, pics, squat until at least May. Jake is free. But now it's Austin who is the bondaged one.

    Well, supposedly Jake was tweeted at some Kanye West concert last night

    So we're to believe that a month later, Jake flies all the way across the United States, back to LA, to attend a Watch the Throne concert that he already attended back on November 8 in NYC. And, that the people who saw him there all misspelled his name the same way.

    Despite the fallout from Austin's poor attempt at humor, I'm sure he was a terrific ambassador for the United States. However, like some other recent high profile tweet faux pas, he might consider taking five minutes before sending that next message in the future. Particularly, since jet lag can be such a bitch.

    No doubt he was exhausted after such a packed week and the travel and jet lag, and like you said M, sometimes we do dumb stuff when you're tired.

    I hope that the tweet does not overshadow all the good and goodwill of his trip.

    I think Austin was a great ambassador and will do a great job bringing back the message that Israel is a great place for travel and industry.

    Ditto, Special.

    Austin had a tremendous week overseas and hey, we all mess up. I was pretty harsh on the guy and while I don't take back what I said, LOL....if I had a dime for every mess-up I have made in my life, well, I would be retired by now and living high on the hog.

    I hope Austin is getting some much needed rest and getting ready to celebrate Jake's birthday and that both guys can concentrate on having a great holiday season with the family.
