Hood... winked

Flashback

Austy,  hoodies and hats can help hide the adorable features that make you recognizable and make you a bit incognito (both on screen and off)

But when you wear one that is a college from the Pittsburgh area around the time they are filming there

you are as effective as this guy

Up, Up and Away?

Looks like Austin's up to something new

Location Scout. What ya think? - AUS10

Looks like he's putting his director hat back on.

And Jake's up ....a weight class

Originally Southpaw was the story that "chronicles the rise of a lefty welterweight all the way to a championship title as he battles various tragedies in his personal life, and wins back the love of his daughter," but in the recent article from the Pittsburgh Gazette, Billy Hope is a junior middleweight - which lets Jake fall in that 148-154 lb range instead of the welterweight's 141-147. 

And the Away?

With this weekend and an upcoming anniversary it will be a full on roll out of  "Here I am and I'm not there" - to keep the current faux fallacy going ...but you know how that goes

Watcha Selling?

There was a lot of selling going on today but it could've been a bit of bait and switch.

First there was this pic of  Jake and crew starting to film Everest today.

Didn't they try this last month?

Neither picture never said Jake was actually in the picture, just made the impression he was.

But a gambling man might go all in and say that Jake is on the Gulf Coast checking on Mississippi Grind.  A project he may no longer be listed as starring in, but doesn't mean he's no longer associated with it.  Yeah yeah  Mr. Producer.

Now why would Jake try to be selling everyone on him being anywhere  but in the Gulf?  Perhaps a bit of a "Texas Tall Tail"

And you can be Deep In The Heart of Texas by bedtime.

And speaking of that  -


Austin's just selling it -  the saucy minx- and damn proud of it.

I'm on sale y'all. You can pick up some of this for 17.99 - AUS10

Olympics for ALL Moment:

While several Olympic sponsors have spoken out against Russia's restrictions on gay rights ahead of the Sochi Winter Games, Chevrolet  rolled out two ads during the U.S. broadcast of the opening ceremony on Friday that feature gay couples.

The ads are the first to feature gay couples during an Olympic broadcast, according to GLAAD, an advocacy group for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. They also come at a time when a fairly new Russia law banning gay "propaganda" from reaching minors has drawn strong international criticism ahead of the Games.

Chevy, is not an official sponsor, didn't comment on the Russian laws specifically, instead saying in a statement that "these ads ... are not intended as any political commentary."

But some advertising experts say the commercials make a pretty clear statement. "Actions speak louder than words," said Allen Adamson, managing director of the New York office of branding firm Landor Associates. "The action of putting a spot on the Olympics is far more powerful than a press release. It's a very clear statement of what they believe Chevy stands for."

This ad, for Chevy, features a montage of different images of America, including a shot of a gay couple getting married. "Like the old love, the new love starts with a kiss," a voiceover states. "Like the old community, the new community still keeps us connected. ... A whole new lineup for a whole new world."

Where in the world?

Last week and weekend you couldn't miss Jake, he was everywhere.  This weekend it's like he vanished off the face of the earth.  After Jake's appearance in London on Monday, it was like poof! he was gone.

 And after Monday a strange thing happened.

 The movie became  a Hugh Jackman movie, not a Hugh and Jake movie.  The promotion in Europe became about Hugh's movie, and there was no mention of Jake.  It was all about Hugh.   And where did Jake go?

Case in point - Hugh "taken 'hostage' as he's mobbed by army of screaming female fans while promoting new movie Prisoners" (source) is all about  Hugh promoting in Spain. There is a noticeable shift in promoting this movie in Europe and it all about Hugh.

But where did Jake go?

Although it does prove a point that Jake can slip away quickly and quietly.

Point A to Point B and Point See

Jake is in NY right?

Well....it doesn't look like it sometime in the last week Jake was in LA.

How?

Because there is a video of him at the Dr.'s office in Beverly Hills this week and is driving the family truckster - the black Audi this time




And we know by the hair it's recent because that is the hair cut he has currently.


Now why didn't he want the paps to see him?

Could it have been that he was supposed to be in NY?

Because when is the last time there was a big splash in People about what Jake was doing?

Oh right yesterday talking about Jake and Jay-Z catching the NCAA championship game at the 40/40 club on Monday April 8th.

When was the video of him at the Dr?  It was uploaded Saturday April 6th.

Now could it be that that splashy story was to cover Jake's trip back to NY this week?

Could it be to make it look like he wasn't in LA last weekend (despite all the tweets of him  NYC)?

Or could it be a distraction for him to get back on the West Coast this weekend?

Or maybe it is all of the above.


And speaking of covering their tracks, when is the last time Austin tweeted exactly what he was doing on a Saturday night.

That would be tonight

This is what film geeks do on Saturday night. - AUS10

Living for the City

Jake looked like he was ready to brave the cold of the big bad North(east) layered up and decked out in a Parka and Timberland Duck boots.

But why would he need the boots in the city?  While warm, the sidewalks and streets look like he could have just worn another pair of his utility footwear and been fine.

The caption says that Jake was leaving Soul Cycle.  Really?

Because these are my questions:

Who puts big chunky boots back on to go out on relatively dry pavement?

If you're that bundled up - where the heck are your gloves?

And after working out wouldn't you be too warm to be that bundled up?

And where is your gym bag?  Because there is no way you are pulling clothes on over sweat workout gear.

And why such a random set of pics?  Have we seen him snapped right outside of Soul Cycle before?

This look and those boots especially would work better somewhere let's say ...where there was snow,  maybe outside the city.

Maybe Jake was outside of the city,  but wanted to make sure that it didn't look like he just arrived, but rather that it looked like he had been back in the city for several days.

Photo P.I.

When it comes to photos and Austin there's enough to fill the Mystery Machine. Here's some of the Photo Phantom hit Parade when it comes to Austin:
