Good Morning Starshine

Jake's lending his talent to a great cause. And not his acting talent but his one for coloring.

Jake joined make up artist/business woman Bobbi Brown, designer Donna Karan, Ashley Judd, Paul Rudd, Rosie O'Donnell, Hall of Famer and sportscaster Jim Brown, musician Patti Smith, Wicked Broadway Show Star Idina Mendez, and ballet dancers Heather Watts & Dameon Woetzel in helping the National Dance Institute celebrate this weekend.


All have created a shirt to auction off to raise fund for the NDI who "has transformed the lives of more than 2 million public school children" through dance, music and visual arts.

This weekend the NDI celebrates their 2011 Event of the Year with this year's celebration entitled "A Sense of Wonder: Science & the Arts Play Together"

"Inspired by Carl Sagan’s words, “We are starstuff,” it takes a whimsical look at scientific concepts interpreted through dance, music and the visual arts." More than 200 kids are participating in performances exploring everything from DNA to artificial intelligence for three shows the next three days LaGuardia High School Concert Hall.

The NDI, was founded by ballet star Jacques d’Amboise has brought art to millions of NYC school children for over 34 years, helping to "develop standards of excellence, a pride of achievement and a curiosity about the world that supports their success in school and in life." No child pays a penny for NDI.

Whatcha' Thinkin'?

Austin is giving back via Clothes off Our Back. But it's not the clothes off his back, but a hat off his head. (well sort of)

Austin joined others in decorating a New Era hat to celebrate New Era's 90th Anniversary and raise money to benefit Alex's Lemonade Stand and Feeding America.

Check out the other hats up for auction.

While some kept with a singular theme. Austin took the chance to put a little bit of everything on his. It's like Austin's Phrenology Cap of Stuff with sunglasses!





Let's start with the frontal lobe.
Tyler Durden is from Fight Club. Green Earth and Ham. (Is Austin saying he's not only green but Seussical too?) And check out the shades - notice what they say? And the X over the mouth.

The Parietal and Occipital lobes. Getting a little scientific with the shout out. A bike and ear muffs. (What's up with the ear muffs?) And a notice to those who can see it, they are being videotaped.
Now getting Temporal.
The right side goes Orwellian. Doesn't Orwellian +100 sounds like an 80's tribute band?
The left side. The Twitter for Two Wheel Tuesday . Call for not using oil. And of course a Blue Tooth. (And that's quite an impressive tooth- sure can't miss it)

So, what do you think he's trying to say?
