Got save some things to celebrate milestones.   #Lucky7

The Blue and Grey

Usually Blue and Grey means The North and The South but this time it's East and West.

It's premiere night and a T Wheeler Tuesday to boot.

Austin hit the red carpet at the premiere of Ray Donovan tonight.

Check out the suit. It could be called "When Austin met Tailor"

Looking good from every angle.

Dud(e) to Stud

In 24 hours Jake went from

 Dude

to  Debonair

He ditched the robe and sandals for a midnight blue impeccably tailored Tom Ford tuxedo with satin lapels, cuffs and trim.

Saturday he paid homage to the iconic Dude from the cult movie The Big Lebowski as he presented the “Original Dude Award” award to Jeff Bridges at the Spike TV Guy's Choice Award.

Anyone notice his chain is back too?

On Sunday he was the perfect gentleman helping the great Cicely Tyson to the microphone as she accepted her first Tony.

Jake presented the Tony Award for Leading Actress for both Play and Musical to Cicely Tyson for "A Trip To Bountiful" and Patina Miller for the revival of  Pippin, respectively.

Interestingly enough he presented by himself while most awards were presented by co-presenters.

While he didn't have The Dude's signature White Russian with him at the Tony's he did have one accessory for both awards show

His pinky ring

Showing off in LA

Jake made sure he got seen in LA this week.

First at LAX on Sunday

Then at the Chateau Marmont on Thursday

 And tonight at the Guys' Choice Awards

He was also seen out dining with friend and former co-star Carey Mulligan

And today out for brunch in LA

If Jake has really relocated to NYC then were did he get all these clothes he keeps showing up in,  because unless he's Mr. Mary Poppins, that backpack could never hold all these clothes.

So there has to be some place that is still home for Jakey in CA.  And probably more of an established home than some people would like it to appear.

Of course tomorrow they will all be talking about Jake in NYC.  Since he is heading out of LA tonight to return to New York to present at the Tony Awards Sunday night.

Jake wasn't the only thing that returned in LA this week.  So  did the jewelry.

There is no way anyone can miss the thick gold band Thursday night

Or his chain today.

Let's see if the bling is just a West Coast thing.

Rings a bell

 Over the years rings have popped up on Jake's fingers. From plain bands to black diamond engagement rings to himself.  And there is always speculation when it began.

It looks like it goes all the way back to the beginning. Check out the glimmer of a ring at the premiere of Jake's first major movie October Sky in Knoxville.

First Look at Loki

 So this is Jake's new look for his role of Detective Loki  in Prisoners.

Loki looks like he grew up rough in Southie/Dorchester/Charlestown and got chance to turn it around when some good-hearted cop gave him a chance because he was "wicked smaht" and was streetwise and had the drive to succeed that made him quickly move up the ranks from patrolmen to detective. But he never forgot his Southie/Dorchester/Charleston roots or his neighborhood.

His look

Looks a bit of young Jake

With some October Sky

And the slick of Rendition

Why does it look like if his slickback fell it would be 90's Stephen Baldwin from Threesome all over again.

And he's sporting some bling.

  Careful Austin might want that pinky ring.  It's no larimar or lapis, but  he'll still go for it.


So if Jake is playing a cop either in Boston, or Brockton or maybe some mythical suburb in Boston, he's going to have to show off his Boston/New England accent.  Will he reach back to all the years  and friends he has in Mass and do them proud,  or will it sound a little more like this?

So I pahked the cah in Havahd Yahd and we took the T to the Noth End for suppah. I had some chowdah and a beeah. After that we got these wicked big ice cream cones with jimmies, then we went to Sawx game. It was a pissah! When I finally get back to cah I find out some cop gave me a freekin' pahkin ticket. I was bullshit.

Run Rings Around It

With the new crops of old pictures of Jake popping up on IHJ, it causes a little stop and reflect moment.

Jake joined Salma on Earth Day, April 22, 2005. Not only did Jake wear all the outergear to keep him warm and toasty but he knew how to accessorize.

Check out this picture of Jake speaking to a reporter.

And Jake's short 'do was courtesy of post-Jarhead.

And on his finger two gold rings.

Then Jake pops up in New York May 1st, in a blue hoodie that matched his baby blues, he's sporting something new. No not that scarf tucked under the hood. The new ring he's sporting with the two he had on just 9 days before.

For months nothing was said about what this ring meant. But it was in press conference for BBM in Toronto, that he talks about it, as a black diamond engagement ring. And who did he say he was engaged to? Himself.

Now it's funny how he gets an engagement ring back in April, the week of Austin's 25th birthday.

And it's not only Jake who gets ringed that year. Austin gets a ring in 2005 with a big blue stone that looks like a Larimar. And then there's Jake vacationing at a Dominican Republic (where it's the only place where Larimar exsists) exclusive Tortuga Bay resort.

Could it all be related?

Quite engaging, isn't it?
