Bizzaro, Jerry

Both Austin and Jake were out this weekend and hitting the red carpet.  Totally different kinds of events that went into the Bizzaro world, that Jake's friend Jerry Seinfeld would say is:

"Yeah, like Bizarro Superman—Superman's exact opposite, who lives in the backwards Bizarro world. Up is down; down is up. He says "Hello" when he leaves, "Goodbye" when he arrives."

Austin rolled into his Vegas with his boys to hit the fight and promote Ray Donovan and he looked every bit the A-lister he plays on the show.


 











The suit was perfect, none of the ill fitting too short jacket with french cuff undone to make the shirt fit those long arms.  Totally custom made and well tailored.


Hanging with TPTB at Showtime.

You've come a long way Austin.

And yes he brings out his big chunk of gold. To many it looks like bling for ring, but for those in the know it says off the market and his touch of having Jake close.



Sunday night Jake was nominated for, attended and presented the 28th annual Lucille Lortel Awards in NYC.

Now Jake hit the carpet in just a little less than his dashing red carpet perfection.
 
His jacket just a touch short in the sleeves looked like it was half of a suit, but his trousers definitely not part of this pair.
 
Slightly short on top below the waist Jake got a case of the too longs.  Causal trousers that puddled around his ankles, it looked like he grab someone else's pair instead of his.

And his shoes not the slim sleek slip ons or oxfords, are more scuffed boots. The  kind of look someone else has sported on the red carpet.   He didn't have a ring to share but maybe the look was a message to his mister, and or he needed the boot heels go with  those too long Austin trousers.

And the beard, while a little wooly, has come into it's own with a little patch of grey that looks like,  "oops you still have a little cream on your face" if you look quick.
 
 Life playing its own dirty little joke.

Jake wasn't only nominated for an award,  he also had the chance to present one and to someone close to him.
 

 
His category to announce was Outstanding Female Performance and Jake got the joy of presenting it to his co-star Annie Funke.
 
 

Up was down, Down was Up  this weekend with Austin looking every inch  the A-lister and Jake looking like  the up and comer.

Sandy Scenes

Hurricane Sandy didn't just affect the physically affect New York, New Jersey and Connecticut, it also had an impact on Off Broadway too.


One of the main story lines in "If There is..." is about global warming and after Sandy,  the story and the audiences response took on a different meaning.

Before "If there is..." finishes up on Sunday, Broadway.com spoke with the cast when they came from their hiatus and how the play is different post Sandy.

Old Blighty Bound

"If There is" is on a break starting today (Nov 26) thru to D-day (Dec 7), so what will Jake be doing?




England

Well at least part of the time.  And don't think it's a trip to keep the accent up to snuff.

Jake is scheduled for several interviews while in England, including something he has never done before.

That is going on the Graham Norton show.

Jake is going to brave the comedy chat show for the first time, and he is joining  Joan Rivers, and Top Gear presenters Jame May and Jeremy Clarkson, and singer Ke$ha.

Taped earlier next week, the show will be first shown on BBC One, Dec 8th.  The episode will then be on BBC America a week or two later.

But can Jake survive Joan the lady who left her filter with her first face so long ago?

And with the Top Gear guys give Jake grief for being a bachelor who is driving a family truckster of an Audi.  And the thought of Jake and Ke$ha could just send you running into the night.

And on The Graham Norton show, Jake can't just chat and go.  Ohhh no no,  on Graham Norton, the guests stay on the couch the whole hour, it's the audience that might get boot before the show ends.

 Maybe his sister can give him some tips.


Keep your eyes peeled for mentions of Jake in England starting now,  he could have left as early as today.  But did he go alone?  Guess it's a wait and see too.

Extended Stay


Jake's got a reason to stay in NYC a little bit longer.  And it looks like he will be celebrating his birthday New York style too.


It was announced today that  If There Is... is getting a two week extension and will now play through December 23 at the Laura Pels Theatre. Originally scheduled to run through November 25, the play will take a 12 day break, and then resuming performances on December 8 and then through month.



With shooting for Prisoners taking place soon after the New Year, and rumored to be in Atlanta, Jake will be staying put on the East Coast for a while. 

How long has it been since Jake has been in LA for something else besides business?



Today was Coming Out Day, and it has been  exciting and encouraging, seeing how many celebrities and news worthy people have made the choice to come out in the past year. And even more  exciting is how they have been accepted and celebrated for their decision and the support for them and for others who have come out before has grown. 

We also celebrate and support those and those friends and acquaintances  around us who have come out, and support and encourage those who are still on their own journey to do so in the future.
