Some say love is the drug for others it might be a placebo effect.


Today it's Love and Drugs.

Not a bad way to start the holidays seeing Jake on screen again. OMG was lucky to get a sneak peek through an early review from fellow OMG'ers, now the rest of are getting a chance to get the full prescription.




Jake on The Early Show talking to Harry Smith.






For those up baking, cooking, or playing with their bird late tonight, there's one more interview for opening day. Jake and Anne will be sitting down to chat with Charlie Rose about the movie. Somehow can see it being a discussion about the pharmaceutical industry and what defines a romantic comedy. Doubt Charlie will be delving into the topic of merkins and tape related medical injuries.




Dispensing the with seriousness, let's talk turkey. With Jake showing so much on screen that he could freeze his giblets, there must be an opinion.

Thighs, wings or the parson's nose? ; )


OMG Medical Moment

Some Viagra facts you might not know.

Viagra is a vasodilator, which relaxes the smooth muscle in blood vessels, causing the vessels to widen and increase blood flow. The drug was designed and tested as blood pressure medicine, while testing it showed... ahem side effects in male test subjects especially surprising in those who had impotency caused by medical conditions such as hypertension and diabetes. Pfizer knew they had bigger drug star on their hands.

Some side effects of Viagra can be nausea, nasal congestion, loss of hearing, loss of vision, or seeing things in blue tint.

That there are little blue pill parties in retirement communities. After the introduction of Viagra they saw a steady rise in STD's in nursing homes.

What the heck is going there and who knew that seniors where getting more action than their grandkids. The rate of STDs in older men taking drugs like Viagra is twice as high as in their non-medicated peers. Maybe there's a market in making condoms with easy open packaging.

Viagra is being prescribed for other things besides E.D. like scleroderma. Scleroderma is when collagen builds up and hardens in widespread connective tissue involving changes in the skin, blood vessels, muscles, and internal organs. Viagra relaxes the smooth muscle in the blood vessels to send blood to the hardening connective tissues.

Square Meal

Another serving of Turkey, with sides of an early (ok fake)snow, and talking about family conflicts it sounds like Thanksgiving dinner.

Main Course:

The threesome became a foursome when Flat Stanley joined Austin, Milo and Sophia at a signing in Germany. What a lucky guy. Wonder where Flat Stanley will be off to next. Think they were so kind to let him share a ride to Turkey?

One thing we do know for sure is that is Austin is not only proud of his American roots but his Texans one too, wearing a Lone Star tshirt that will be in who know how many photo albums around the world. And he has a topic of conversation with every Texan who is serving on base. Sure there were horns thrown many times. Now that's a picture I'd love to see.

And some Westen PA sides
Snow Falling on Pittsburgh - (it doesn't have the same ring as Cedars does it)



Sunday Jake and Anne filmed at Magee Hospital, when you need winter you make it turning it into a winter wonderland Sunday. A little Hollywood magic and presto! Snow. Now we know why there was a Sunday shooting schedule. Magee is an working hospital, like all hospitals it's open 24/7. So Sunday's are the best, no appoinments, just the emergency room and in patients, and essential personnel. Love has made the most of Pittsburgh's area hospitals for various locations, and it does give an authenticity to the life of a drug rep.


Here's Jake and Anne filming another scene in Shadyside this past week.

Here's part 2 of an interview with Jake about Brothers. Here he discusses director Jim Sheridan, what it was like working with him, his reaction to the original film,the differences between this version and the original, and what the movie says about families in general.

Turkey Trot

Austin continues his USO in Turkey after making a successful stop in Germany. Next stop Incirlik Air Base. Located in NATO's Southern Region, is located in İncirlik, 5 NM (9.3 km; 5.8 mi) east of Adana, Turkey's fifth largest city, and 56 km (35 mi) from the Mediterranean Sea. The airbase is home to United States Air Force (USAF) 39th Air Base Wing. The name 'incirlik' in Turkish means 'place of fig trees' (or 'place of figs')

In response to the September 11, 2001 attacks, Operation Enduring Freedom began in October 2001. Incirlik served as a main hub for missions in support for the war in Afghanistan, including humanitarian airlift operations, MC-130 special operations missions, KC-135 refueling missions and sustainment operations for deployed forces.

On March 12, 2004, 39th Air Base Wing was activated to provide the best mix of required support and, as new mission requirements emerge, to shoulder the burden and better contribute in the global war on terrorism and support those troops seving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Many traveled through Incirlik on their deployment and return.


Austin USO tour continue to Wednesday November 25th. And with a long trip it looks like Austin still we be able to be home in the US to celebrate Thanksgiving.

Check out more pictures of Austin on the USO tour at Austin Nichols Journal.

It is interesting how things connect. As Austin is meeting men and women who are going into or coming home from combat as Jake's movie about what happens when they come home comes out.



After a screening and press conference on Saturday, Jake had to scoot back to Pittsburgh to finish his work on Love & Other Drugs, while Natalie, Tobey and Jim Sheridan were there for Sunday nights premiere at the School of Visual Arts.

More reviews are coming in and overall there are good comments about the performances of the movie. Here is an interview with Jake about Brothers and a little more about his character.
