Pictured Past

Back when they were promoting BBM,  Jake and Heath were featured in Entertainment Weekly.

The picture take by Martin Schoeller that you didn't get to see was this:

This previously unpublished photo is part of  Schoeller’s Retrospective Exhibition, at the Hasted Kraeutler gallery and run Nov. 13, 2014 - Jan. 3, 2015.

Schoeller says he included this photo of Brokeback Mountain stars, because it so perfectly captured their easygoing friendship.

So you see....

Just a little reminder:

 Back in 2006 some reports talked about meeting Austin.

"but we do remember meeting Nichols at the premiere of his most recent flick, "Glory Road." We stopped to talk to him because he was so tall and handsome, and for no other reason. He admitted to us that he was the only person in the movie who wasn't good at basketball.

"I lied and told them I was a basketball player," he giggled, as we swooned. "I am a terrible basketball player."

We then told him that if they ever made a movie about Tom Brady, he should play him in the lead role. This comment thereby exhausted all of our sports knowledge.

We eavesdropped as he chatted with someone else nearby, who asked him what his favorite recent movie was.

"Brokeback Mountain," he grinned. We gripped a nearby publicist for support. "I can’t think of any other love story that got me so..." and then he trailed off."

When you look back at Austin's pictures even recent ones it looks like it still has him....

Austin might always say what's going on but he knows the power of a picture. 

Fixers, Flubs and F'ed up

Did the Fixer Fic flub up?

Screenwriter Brian Larsen, is claiming that Showtime stole his idea to create the Hollywood-fixer hit Ray Donovan. Southland creator Ann Biderman is credited with coming up with Donovan and is an Executive Producer on the Mark Gordon Company show.

Larsen is claiming former Showtime Original Programming VP Danielle Gelber, who's called a “development executive” in the complaint, took a pitch meeting with him about his Writer's Guild of America registered script  about a San Francisco-based fixer who discreetly handles high-profile clients problems and has a messed-up family – like Donovan - in Northern California on November 5, 2010.

In the 11-page breach of implied contract and breach of confidence complaint filed February 13 in L.A. Superior Court , creditless Larsen and his Radical Pictures LLC  says Donovan “mimics” his 2009 fixer concept The Swissman. He says that the series has “enriched Defendants to the tune of millions of dollars,”an is seeking to have production on Ray Donovan stopped via an injunction and is also seeking wide ranging but unspecified damages of more than $25,000.

Interestingly the credited show creator Ann Binderman nor producer Mark Gordon are named as a defendants in the suit.

 Will Showtime have to hire their own fixer to get them out of this one?



Quick fix = big flub?


While this picture popped up yesterday in V-day splendor

Why does it look like it came from a photoshoot Austin did with Davis Factor while he was on OTH?

Olympics for ALL Moment:

This is how Sweden shows their opposition to Russia's anti-LGBT legislation just days before the Olympics began.

The short film, titled Live And Let Love, features a diverse group of people from all walks of life, surrounded by rainbow flags, singing the Russian national anthem and supporting the LGBT community in Russia.

Snaps, Pics and Tricks?

After two weeks of being cloistered from photographers Jake emerges flashing a little tea
and A
with Peter

The funny things about pictures. They are not always what they seem or when they say happened.

They say that Jake went out with Adam to the movies at the Arclight on June after having dinner in Westwood with other gentleman.

Now we know that Jake and Adam went out on May 29th from this picture.

Check Jake out as the man in black. Black Henley, dark wash jeans, black hat.
But wait Ted said in his reporting of the evening that restaurant sources said "He [Jake] looked very rugged, handsome and was wearing a denim blue shirt, blue jeans, boots and had a buzzed haircut teamed with a sexy scruffy beard."

But that's not what he was wearing at the Arclight.

So when was he wearing that? Saturday night May 28th.

Blue jeans, boots, scruffy beard


And the denim blue shirt? Well Jake thought he had that all covered. Close but no cigar, buddy.
Just like a peek of blue sky on a grey day, it stands out and brings a smile.

It looks like there was more than just moving the date of when Jake was at the Arclight. It looks like they were trying to blend two nights into one.

Why would they want to roll what Jake did Saturday night over to the same night he went out with his friend Adam? Was it because they need a cover for Jake's Saturday night?

Why would you need to do that if it was just a business dinner and why would Jake cover up so what that you couldn't see what he was wearing?

And why would Jake park in the underground parking lot near the Napa Valley Grille when they have valet parking? Did he not want the truckster scratched? (nah he uses valets all the time) Or did he want to use the parking garage to slip in and out into the restaurant without hanging around at the front entrance and drawing attention?


Oh and speaking of smiles. Jake's hasn't been smiling much when the he gets pap'd lately. Now who would he be having dinner with to make him so Guy Smiley that he was still grinning for the paparazzi?

Jake 'n a Box

Jake wasn't just waiting around for valet yesterday.
He was also working it out. Back to doing martial arts training there is a bit of a mystery about it, and it's not the hoodie of invisibility that he is trying to work.
Let's go to the pictures.

Why does it look like he's trying to avoid being notice going in?We see Jake going into work out with a big brown box.
But where did it go when he left? Is it a Dojo and Post-To-Go?

Also it looks like it was a private class, as we see the instructor, unlocking the gates after class.Interesting that it's not just the doors are locked, but the gate was pulled and locked so no one can get even close to the door while Jake was in there.

But it wasn't just Jake and the instructor in there.
See the white sleeve of a t-shirt here.
And then they're out of the picture, while Jake and the instructor are still at the gate.And why does he bring in that big gym bag and yet he doesn't change his clothes at all. What's in there?
Someone knew that Jake goes to work out there, because they are in a position to get the picture going in and they also stay to take pictures of him leaving. The question is why? What were they wanting to catch on film?

Where is the Love?

Just when you start to think Austin could fall for Pina Coladas like he did for Puerto Rico,

Ahh. Me Encanta Puerto Rico.

...getting some sun, a little surf and talk about short shorts, Austin took his rum balls and headed home.

Then after a quiet day on twitter, Mr. Nichols came back with a flurry, talking about good causes, movies and getting back in the saddle.

NikkiFinke 'Akira' Focuses On Short List Of Actors After Getting Steve Kloves Rewrite http://dlvr.it/L34s7

Why do they have to cast a short guy? Why not a tall fella?

in the future, politicians will be riding their bikes around washington, the internal combustion engine will be a relic in the smithsonian.

#twowheeltuesday. Get in the saddle today. That's sounds kinda hot.

And how do we know he was back in NC yesterday? The proof is in the picture. (Need a second source? Check out what Ms. Buffet tweeted)

The good do-bee got a citation for "recycling too much".

I just got a warning for trying to recycle too much. If I do it again, I will get a fine.

The citation was written at 5:00am this morning, and it was for things put out on the wrong day. So it was on the curb last night. It also shows that he has been living in the city of Wilmington.

But what else does it say?

Well it looks like he might be clearing his place out ( See the comment about a special pick up). And it also looks that he is heading back home (LA) sometimes today, if he was putting things out last night because his scheduled pick up day isn't until Thursday.

Now why would he want to be home for Wednesday? Doesn't want to miss Jimmy Kimmel?

Next stop for Jake is tomorrow night on The Jimmy Kimmel show.

Will he show up with free t-shirts like Charlie Sheen last night? Doubtful. Maybe he should go with fresh fruits and veggies to the audience help kick off his campaign for Edible Schoolyards to get more fruits and veggies to schools kids.

There's no new Crazy Tree tonight as they are in their own Source Code for a few more weeks. So instead here's something to fill in the time.


Jake talking about Source Code, BBM and loving Texas and Austin.

Two Snaps and a Twist

Art Appreciation today.

Same photographer, two relationships, the head and shoulders aren't the same. Bur are the fingers and the toes?




Interesting that the poses are similar yet a different, what does that mean? Is there some symbolism to who's prominent in the picture and who's not? What is the message the photography is trying to convey?
