Rock'em Sock'em ....

Jake's no stranger to fancy footwear.

First it was rockin' the crocs




and now sockin' in sandals


and ....



Think the cordovans will be back for interviews?

It's hard being your Viagra salesman.

All in the Family

Jake has been taking all the Tobey calling all in stride the past few weeks, and it does confirm that Sheridan's pick casting for Tobey and Jake as the Cahill brothers is spot on by their resemblance. Eight weeks from now we will see if how they well they do with the fraternal chemistry.

But are their any other potential Cahill Brothers out there? Are there some other that could join 'em and be all in the family?

There's Rob who kind of has a resemblance of younger Jake to some.


Or Topher . Who favors Tobey more.


But what about Ryan as the quirky brother who lives above the garage with a life size doll?



Or younger brother like Green Bay Packer quarterback Aaron Rodgers?


And can't forget Aunt K.D.

Anyone else you think could make the cut in the Cahill clan?

Speaking of family, Bailee Madison who plays Jake's niece is Isabelle in Brother's talked to ClevverTV.com about working with the Tobey, Jake and Natalie.




I know she's 10 but she interviews better than some of Jake's past leading ladies. And I'm not talking about Jen, Gwen, Chloe or Meryl.

You Can Quote Me on That

For Austin, I started writing shirtless scenes for him because I thought he was sexy as hell.

- Mark Schwahn (Rants & Raves The Futon Critic)

Just what Austin needs. An enabler for losing his shirt at work, isn't the one at home enough?

So Schwahn is responsible for these:



And Austin is own his own for these:


Two OTH articles that came out this weekend give more insight on the mastermind of the Tree Hill World and why you see what you see on screen. The Futon Critic and one in the LA Times that talks about Mark Schwahn and Joe Davola's hands on or better said online approach to One Tree Hill.

"It's no accident that fans have followed the show over the years on different nights and time periods. They're rabid for good reason. Schwahn and fellow executive producer Joe Davola have taken a DIY approach to promoting "One Tree Hill" from the beginning, when Davola decided that rather than hiring an assistant, he'd bring in someone to help them reach out to the show's fans. The pair still run their own series website, Facebook page and Twitter accounts."

You think Mark ever saw all of our "oops I forgot my shirt" jokes we've made about Austy?


And how does OTH get away with all the crazy, "seriously are they doing that" storylines? Well Austin has the answer for that one. "We can go for things like that on 'One Tree Hill,' a benefit of being sort of the ugly stepchild on the network,"

But now we know that Mark doesn't think of Austin as that. : )


And tonight dose of One Tree Crazy?

Out Spotlight C

Today's Out Spotlight is the National Equality March. Next Sunday, October 11, 2009, tens of thousands will come from all over the United States to gather in Washington DC in order send a message to the Nation, the United States Congress and the President, a message that ALL citizens of the United States are equal and all should have equal rights.

The 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution states: Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

This means ALL people and this includes the right to marry whomever they wish and not be discriminated against because of how and whom they chose to love.

The National Equality March is to remind the nation, Congress and the President of the United States that DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act) signed into law by President Bill Clinton on September 21, 1996, which defines marriage as a legal union exclusively between one man and one woman, is unconstitutional and should be repealed.

President Barack Obama's election platform included the full repeal of DOMA. However, on June 12, 2009 the Department of Justice issued a brief defending the constitutionality of DOMA in the case of Smelt v. United States of America, suggesting a sharp reversal by the Obama administration. On June 15, 2009, Human Rights Campaign President Joe Solmonese sent a four page letter to President Obama in response to the Department of Justice brief, in which he laid out the case of LGBT people as equal human beings and urged, "We call on you to put your principles into action and send legislation repealing DOMA to Congress. On September 15, 2009, representatives Jerry Nadler of New York, Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin, and Jared Polis of Colorado introduced the Respect for Marriage Act, which would repeal DOMA. The bill had 91 original cosponsors.

Longtime gay activist David Mixner, who called for a national march on Washington said the march “to empower our young and to show the nation that anything less than full freedom is unacceptable.”



This is why the March for Equality is so important, the voice of a nation calling for change and holding those accountable for the promises they made.

The March will begin at 12:00 noon and will end on the west lawn of the Capitol building with a rally following beginning around 2:00 p.m. with three hours of inspirational speeches and music. Thirty speakers representing the diversity of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community and its straight allies, will include: David Mixner; national March co-chairs Cleve Jones, Lt. Dan Choi, and Nicole-Murray Ramirez; Julian Bond, civil rights leader and Chairman of the Board for the NAACP, the oldest and largest civil rights organization in the U.S, St. Olaf college student Richard Aviles speaking on behalf of student activists; Judy Shepard, who lost her son Matthew because of anti-gay hate, Oscar winner Dustin Lance Black, Former US Rep Michael Huffington, Reverend Troy Perry, Comedian/Activist Kate Clinton, to name a few.

The producers of Hair, on Broadway, have announced that the musical will be going dark on Sunday, October 11th so its cast can go to Washington and support the March.

As Destiny told OMG about NFL Player/Pro Bowler, New Orleans Saints,Scott Fujita. Listen to his interview support the March and the call for equality.

The march and rally are a culmination of events from the weekend kicking off on Friday October 9, with workshops, groups and gathering of people united for equality.

Some OMG'ers will be traveling to Washington for the National March, but there is something for each one of us to do. For those who live in the US find a group who is gathering in your area that day, and write your Representatives in Washington asking for the repeal of Defense of Marriage Act. For those outside the U.S. stay informed about your own country's rights for the LGBT community and become a voice of change and a supporter of equality with you live, and encourage your government to ask the US to repeal their discriminative laws against LGBTs.

This march is not the final step but the first one in building a national grassroots network that will continue until full equality is achieved

This isn't about getting MORE rights, it's about getting the SAME rights.

In honor of Phyllis Lyon and in memory of Del Martin.

Reading is FUNdemental

Jake is popping up on another children's program for PBS this year, and this one is a little familiar or is that familial?




Jake is part of this clip promoting reading on the new The Electric Company show this season. How is it so familiar or familial to him? Mom G was a senior producer for The Electric Company, where she worked with Morgan Freeman as Easy Reader. Naomi spent two years traveling the country, seeing all the different ways people were taught to read as they developed the Easy Reader component of the show.. So it has come full circle Mother/son with Jake promoting reading on the same show 30 plus years later. What better gift to give than the gift of reading, it opens whole new worlds.

This is Jake third childrens programming project this year, celebrating Sesame Street's 40th anniversary, along with Maggie, by getting to Sesame Street this season. And then there is his project with Shalom Sesame, teaching children about their Jewish heritage. Mom must be proud since, she was also a content producer for the original Sesame Street, and also created short, animated films. (If she was responsible for The Alligator King, lots of gold stars)

It's not the first time that Jake was involved in reading and kids, his first time was narrating the book The Man Who Walked Between The Towers. It's great that Jake is getting involved and giving back to the preschool set. Wonder if that familiar or familial? Or just a flock?



Funny how life works. Jake yelling in front of a background with guys in giant letters.




You just can't make this stuff up.

Limitless Possibilities

A little different Austin Friday, we are talking Austin City Limits on this Austin Friday. We know that Austin loves music, and has gone in to ACL in the past. Do you need some reminders? Ok if we must we must.

Austin is known as the live music capital in the world. Those outside of Texas, and the U.S. take it up with the Texans about that title. ACL is one of premiere music festivals in the US, along with Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Coachella.

ACL brings together more than 130 bands on eight stages, including rock, country, folk, indie, Americana, hip-hop, reggae, and bluegrass for the three day show. Some of this year's line up includes: Kings of Leon,Sonic Youth, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band, Thievery Corporation, Ben Harper and Relentless 7, The Levon Helm Band, The Decemberists, B-52's, John Legend, Medeski, Martin & Wood, Grizzly Bear, Clutch, Arctic Monkeys to name a few.

But ACL doesn't really begin until Asleep at the Wheel plays Miles and Miles of Texas, and then ACL has "official" started.

It can be hot, hot, hot the last two weeks of September in Austin. Hot enough to make an Austinite lose their shirt Ahem. But this year is not the case, with ACL moving to the first weekend in October for beat the chance for wicked hot. Tt looks like it will be in the high 70's and may break 80, but scattered showers are predicted for Saturday and Sunday. Sure that Austin could find still find some reason to lose his, if he was there.

Austin loves his hometown, you can tell from interviews andis never shy to talk about Austin (the city). There is no more perfect match than Austin from Austin. Warm, friendly, welcoming, a little bit funky, a little bit arty, and doing their own thing.

Gun Running or is that a Walk Man

Jake was photographed doing a scene for Love & Other Drugs, which had him running back in time. Check out the gear and especially the old school Walkman and headphones. How 1997 of him. Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch or BlackBox playing on it?

Check out those calves - retaining water or were the sock just a pinch too tight Jakey? Check out that ring around the calfie. Looks like he is the mid calf kind of guy or is it his character's favorite?
Why the fake sweat? Come on it's so much hotter than the real thing. And it's giving a Union guy a job. Think abou that credit: made Jake Gyllenhaal sweaty.




Yeah the tongue. (Take a drink or save it for the Austin OTH drinking game)

The guy is totally checking him out.


Let me introduce you to Smith & Wesson.


One question - Everybody knows before you step into the ring, you got to have some great guns. Now do you think these guns can take on those boxers?
