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?

Stuck in the Middle with Who?

Thanks Teens Choice. "Well, here's another fine mess you've gotten us into."

So what's a fella to do?

The Teens Choice Awards just announced their nominations and Austin could be stuck between a rock and hard place or maybe that's more between his boy and his beard.

Hugh knows?

Jake got nominated this year for his role in PoP, but look at his competition.

Choice Movie Actor: Fantasy
Johnny Depp, Alice in Wonderland
Jake Gyllenhaal, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
Taylor Lautner, The Twilight Saga: New Moon
Robert Pattinson, The Twilight Saga: New Moon
Sam Worthington, Clash of the Titans

Depp, the guy who went blue, and Edward AND Jacob. Ok if you just went by regular hair he and Pattinson could make interesting. Long hair - come on Depp's got em. And abs, he has Lautner to contend with. Jake's totally the dark horse to grab the wood (at least as an award, maybe not if Austin goes to the awards show)

Then there is Sophia who got nominated as well. (Yes for OTH, yes for Brooke Davis, yesssss... for acting......)

Choice TV Actress: Drama
Sophia Bush, One Tree Hill
Blake Lively, Gossip Girl
Leighton Meester, Gossip Girl
Olivia Wilde, House
Shailene Woodley, The Secret Life of the American Teenager


Now since Austin seems to be her tag-a-long (and not the Girl Scout cookies) on the red carpet, it's expected to be the same for the Teen Choice awards.

Now do you think Jakey will bow out after being in the driver's seat now, and not go?

So what's this trike to do?

Maybe Jake goes on his own and the well oiled red carpet photo op machine called Sophin go too.

Red rover Red rover send Jakey right over.

Maybe Austin says he's too busy shooting and doesn't go and Jake and Sophia go together and just to mix it up.

Everyone goes on their own and grows their own beard.(wait wait, Reese is the one that can grow a beard, per Jakey, not Sophia.)

Maybe they all go together, like Three's Company. And like the show the short brunette get lost in the shuffle.
