Wiggle Waggle

With Jake in rehearsals for Constellations,  he's trying to get into his character Rupert, the beekeeper.

No doubt Austin got into the spirit of things to help him out.

But will he simulate the bee dance bees do to attract their queen?

It's all about the waggle.   And Austin's got a what it takes to waggle.

Wonder if Jake will wear the crown or the helmet? ; )

Turkey Trot

Jake stopped by The Late Show to chat with Dave on Thanksgiving Eve. He promoted Nightcrawler (with a interesting question from Dave about unions)  as well as Constellations which opens in previews next month.

They didn't talk turkey, but the conversation went to salmon.

 Earlier in day Jake was took a picture at The Rose Center for Earth and Space.

Brushing up on physics to understand his Constellation co-star's part, perhaps?

And as Thanksgiving finished up we saw Jake out for a walk in NY.

 No Starbucks this time.

 Just Leo.

Hope everyone had a sweet Thanksgiving!

All about that base

Now was there a reason that Austin needed to tweet about ice coffee at the CVT truck on Tuesday?

The smallest menu in LA just got a little bigger. We're now serving up the "Coffee Cream" - an iced… whosay.com/l/nQx9Ibj   - AUS10

I guess he can't help himself when it comes to coffee, ice coffee that is.  Just had to share a video of making ice coffee with soft serve.

That's subtle Austin - you're a master of subtly, the way you love coffee.

Wait it was about ice coffee right? 


And not where the CVT is.

Almost off the list

Jake's End of Watch co-star was not too happy with Jakey last year.

"I know! I was so pissed at Jake, let me tell you, I texted him and said, 'You’re abandoning me, and I’m never going to forgive you!' "

And what pissed her off?  Jake dropping out of "Into the Woods."

Jake had signed on to share prince duties with Chris Pine. Jake supposed was to be Rapunzel’s suitor while Pine pines Cinderella.  It was a musical and more importantly Sondheim, a favorite of Jake's, so him pulling out of the Rob Marshall big screen adaptation was a bit of a shocker.  You can see why she felt abandoned.

And, after awhile, Anna finally cooled her temper. She said, "And then I saw the trailer to Nightcrawler and texted him again and said, 'Wow, you inspire me every day.' ”

The jury's still out if Jake really pulled out of "Into the Woods" to do Nightcrawler, or if there was some other reason, but at least he's back on the good list with Anne.

Lose the lumber

Way back in 2008 OMG shared How to make a LumberJake. 

And around that time the word Lumbersexual was added to the Urban Dictionary

 A Metro-sexual who has the need to hold on to some outdoor based rugged-ness, thus opting to keep a finely trimmed beard. - Urban Dictionary 2008

(Although back in February 2004 someone had defined Lumbersexual on Urban Dictionary as:  “A male who humps anyone who gives him wood.” )

Who knew we were years ahead of the newest trend?

 As fall becomes winter 2014,  Lumbersexual is popping up all over the media. And yes blame it on Brooklyn and all those bearded, plaid shirted, Carhartt jacketed, boot wearing, kambucha drinking, Soul Cycle/Yoga taking guys.

Sound like anyone OMG knows?

Now that lumbersexual has made it to Time Magazine - it takes it out of the trend and makes it more like a dying star.

With Jake seemingly always years ahead of the curve, does this mean in another two years, shiny parachute jackets will be peaking?

 Or the reverse tuxedo?

Or a duck blind masquerading as a coat? 

 Or just a Jake-a-sexual?

Out Spotlight

For today's Out Spotlight, life was art. This writer, illustrator, poet and filmmaker knew no boundaries in his creative endeavors. A prolific catalog of genre-spanning work makes him one of the most influential figures of the 20th century French art world.  Today's Out Spotlight is Jean Cocteau.

Jean Cocteau was born to a well-to-do family July 5, 1889, in the small French town of Maisons-Laffitte. His father committed suicide when Cocteau was 10. A troubled child, he was expelled from a host of private schools. Seeking an escape, he took off to the red-light district in Marseilles. At age 19, he published his first book of poetry, “Aladdin’s Lamp.”

Celebrated in Paris’s bohemian circles as “The Frivolous Prince,” Cocteau secured a spot at the epicenter of French culture, collaborating with celebrities of the era like Pablo Picasso, Marcel Proust and Edith Piaf. Looking to advance his career, he arranged a meeting with Russian impresario Sergei Diaghilev, which resulted in their collaboration on the ballet “Parade.” He also wrote librettos, plays, novels, poems, and film scripts, and dabbled in art and illustration.

In his personal life, Cocteau mostly sought the companionship of men, although he did sporadically pursue women, including Princess Natalie Paley, a member of the Romanov family. His most notable relationship was with fellow poet Raymond Radiguet. Although Cocteau denied that the relationship was romantic, he developed an opium addiction when Radiguet died suddenly.

Cocteau was a key player in France’s emerging avant-garde movement. He found a new muse and lover in actor Jean Marais, who he cast in films such as “Beauty and the Beast” and “Orpheus.” Their 20-year relationship continued until Cocteau’s death.


Cocteau was a multidisciplinary artist with ceaseless creativity. By blurring the line between the reality of his life and the fiction of his work, his existence itself became a work of art.

Cocteau passed away October 11, 1963, in Milly-la-Forêt, France

“What the public criticizes in you, cultivate. It is you.”

Wait, what... a smile?

These outtakes of Jake from a photoshoot for USA Today, turn back the clock and found a smile.

No beard and a grin - heck yeah we're posting the pictures.

 These look like they could be a senior picture photoshoot.

Are those teeth?

And  dimples?

 Of course Jake looks like he's telling the photographer that his hand have now been registered as the lethal weapons.

Or that his Southpaw trainer was actually a Rock'em  Sock'em Robot.
