Butcher, The Baker, Candlestick Maker

UPDATE: The Special K Casa lost power last night sometime after 7:30pm and with no power, dead batteryy, and no phone (land or cell), it's up, sh..'s creek without a paddle. Fingers crossed power will be restored by the time I get back home from my undisclosed emergency bunker (Lg coffee "regular" (2 creams 2 sugar)) If the power is not up yet by 5:00PM EST, start the JFC discussion here, and I will get the JFC post up as soon as finish scouring the streets for the National Grid guys.

Now onto much better things: Austin Fridays

Girl, Julian needs a job. A J-O-B! (so do I, but that's a whole different story)

The boy gives up a perfectly great movie job to move to Tree Hill. This after Brooke say she can't run her international clothing and publishing (cough)empire from anywhere but Tree Hill. What the Hell do they do in the Clothes over Bros New York office's? Endless games of Bedazzled and coffee? So Julian move to Tree Hill without a job for the women he loves.

I smell future palimony!

It has become a total role reversal. Julian is the trophy boyfriend of the the CEO. Handsome, model looks, red carpet ready, gets naked at the drop of a hat. (I mean what guy says on the beach says he wants to go skinny dipping, get's topless and HE gets chased into the water by the President and CEO in charge?

Is Julian now a the OTH himbo?

The big Julian scenes have been sex, having dinner waiting, and sex.

He doesn't even wear the pants in the relationship, has father issue, comes up with cute ideas that his powerful girlfriend praises him for, has silly unrefined decorating ideas for HER house, and really doesn't spend anytime with anyone but Brooke since getting back.


This coming week the preview is Julian bringing coffee while he's visiting Brooke on the company's photoshoot. And then he gets his picture taken with the big boss. Himbo, himbo, himbo.

The role reversal of stereotypes is refreshing, and its good to see women in power, but it's a waste of a character, and Austin's talent. No wonder he doesn't really have to prepare. For what? Think about making sure he's in character for sex and to be a P.A.?




Give the guy a job. Have him start a indie film production house in Tree Hill. Get into webcentered entertainment of shorts and series. Have him create the Tree Hill Film Festival. SOMETHING!! OTH you can fit the nakedness in, come on Mouth's a sports guy, yet you have him in a naked stand off with Skills over the apartment for two episodes, and that's like what 17 months in the OTH universe. BAH! (btw how much longer are you going to push this stunt)

So play the Tree Hill Unemployment office. What jobs would you send Julian to apply for? (Bonus points from Schwann & Co if they have shirtless doing them)


Check out Austin Nichols Journal for some new pictures from OTH, as well a pictures of Austin filming on set this week.

Please note: I might deny all of this himbo limbo, after I get power and all things have restored back to normal. Or maybe I won't. : )

Reminder: The JFC discussion will begin tonight at 5:00 EST through Saturday. We will be discussion Episode 6: His visit Day 5. See you then.

Also this post will remain open through Saturday for all non JFC discussion.

If the River was Whiskey

Great minds do think alike and as soon as I saw this promo picture of Austin from the OTH promo over weekend I knew what I wanted to do today. And found out I had the same thought as Spooky over at Austin Nichols Journal, to pop Austin into to fav pictures or backgrounds. And she did a great job. The picture reminded my of paperdolls of I had, there was always one handsome boy in the box. Makes me think the grown up version will have two. So you will see Austin the paperdoll pop up in some interesting places , Whiskey with a twist lets say, in the near future.

Speaking of One Tree Hill. As we know from Austin's interview that things are going to get messy between Julian and Brooke in the future. But for tonight, in "What are you Willing to Lose" it's bliss with for a bit, while they move in together. But Julian's Dad (Gregory Harrison) is back and might throw a monkeywrench (or you Brits, a spanner) in the works. But knowing Papa Baker has to be about business, so will that mean a project he wants Julian to do? Brooke picks the new face for Clothes over Bros, and it might be she just picked her poison (for her love life) in doing so. And the question still begs to be answered what the hell is Julian going to in Tree Hill? Become Tree Hill's resident indie producer? Surf? Skinny dip the day away?

Now must give a huge shout out to Vesperlynd who helps Spooky at AJN, cause girl, you did good, really really good.

What did she do? She found some new pics of Austin, from a photo shoot from Davis Factor. Congrats on the AJN exclusive ladies. I will give a sneak peek of them , but suggest you head over there to check them all out. They're too good not to too.

Wet tee? Austin's must have spent a spring break or two at Padre Island, cause he's got the pose and the look down pat.
Just like a cowboy casting his long shadow in the sparse front, so does Austin in this reinvention of a classic western pose with a nod to 80's LA. And check out those boots! The good guys always wore white, but it was the ones in the black that made things interesting.

A JFC Discussion reminder. We rescheduled the discussion for this Friday at 5pm EST through Saturday. The discussion is on Episode 6: His Visit Day 5. This was one of the best episode of the series and really showed Austin's craft as an actor. Hope you can join us to discuss.


Gold star to the lit major who knows where today's title comes from.

From Hill to Eternity

Looks like Spooky and I had similar ideas, great minds do think a like. It was 12:01 and I was ready to hit the button post and bam computer crashed. I really hate my computers, really hate them. (Check out Spooky for some great pictures of Austin on the set and fans too)


For a cinephile Austin, he knew exactly what they were wanting to create in this scene for an upcoming episode of OTH.


The famous beach scene from Here to Eternity with Burt Lancaster and Deborah Kerr.



Based on the book, Here to Eternity is the story of soldiers, (played by Burt Lancaster, Montgomery Clift, Frank Sinatra, and Ernest Borgnine) stationed on Hawaii in the months leading up to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Deborah Kerr and Donna Reed portrayed the women in their lives.

Because of the censors it is less obvious that Kerr and Lancaster's characters have actually been having sex than it is in the novel and the later, in 1979 miniseries based on the book.

The on-screen chemistry between Lancaster and Kerr may have spilled off-screen; Lancaster alleged that the stars became romantically involved during filming.

One question. So if Austin is Burt would that make Jake Ernie?

Bush(ell) and some Pecs

So OTH has cranked up the McConaughey factor and has cast Robert Buckely as Clayton, Nathan's agent. Is OTH going shirt optional? Does it mean that Brooke will still say Clothes over Bros or will she ditch it for Dare 4 Bare between the two boys from LA?

You think Schwann and Co are going to do gratuitous shirtless scenes that get pulled into the storyline? No they would never....

Like casting calls? Maybe "Shirts and Skins" pick up basketball games? Beach walkoffs? Or will it just be a shirt throwdown in the middle of store for Brooke to pick a pec? Shirtless dancing on a box - now that would be too much - wouldn't it? Or would that be part of the talent competition?
You think Austin is PoPing in a few workouts in this summer just in case ? (Wait are we still talking about pecs?)

Ladies Love Cool A?

While The CW has yet to official confirm anything but Austin being moved to a series regular, there is more than enough chatter that changes are happening in Tree Hill next year.

Spoiler TV has first word on the casting notices for next season including three prominent new roles:

-Quinn, Haley's heartbroken older sister. Though we've only seen Taylor, it's also been mentioned that Haley has two other sisters, Vivian and Quinn.

-Alexis, a party girl and model for Clothes Over Bros.

-Clayton, a handsome sports agent who works alongside Nathan.

Did Mark Schwann read Austin's interview where he talked about Julian future on OTH or a spin off?


12. If you could choose two other characters from "One Tree Hill" to have their own spin-off with your character Julian, who would it be? And why would you choose them?

The spinoff would be Julian and all the pretty girls. I would get rid of all the guys. That's gold!!! Ha!! But of course Julian would end up with Brooke. I think that relationship is very well written and endlessly entertaining. And Sophia is quite a performer and a great star. I think the spinoff should be Julian and Brooke in Italy. She is in the fashion world and I am making spaghetti westerns.

Wait a minute - Austin - Italy - Research? Wonder if that's his story and he's stickin' to it?

You can't help but think Alexis and Clayton won't have their moments with Julian no matter how much in love he and Brooke might be. But will Mark really go for broke and odd twist on new movie Obsessed with Clayton trying to seduce Brooke? And Julian being the target of Clayton's attack? I mean the whole Single White Female thing you can't do - after the Misty movie actress move - and Julian hooking up with her. Maybe Mark will make Julian just be the ultimate ladies man and have all the ladies love him.

One thing is know - that more will be known about One Tree Hill next week at the upfronts for
The CW.

Wonder if we will see Austin and any other of the lead actors at the announcements since it is such a big change and chance to get the jump on the new campaign?

Would that mean Austin might have to make a trip or a "trip" short? Luckily its in New York. Hmmmm.

So... Mark... Julian....maybe he and Brooke do a Roman Holiday episode. I could do some research.

Hey didn't Mary Kate and Ashley do Rome in one of their movies?

That wasn't the one I'm in and we are not showing Holiday in the Sun at the cast party no matter what Hilarie and Sophia say.

Could it be magic?

On tonight's One Tree Hill Julian asks Brooke to come to California. Kinda makes you wonder what would happen if she did. Would it be magical?
