And the Gold Snorkel Goes to....Jake

Well, amazing how a few speculative comments can prompt reaction on the social media front with Jake and Austin.   While Austin and his Beard Chlo Bennet put on their Esther Williams puppet show yesterday afternoon, his better half Jake remained hidden from public view with the word being that he's been in London for awhile filming.  Or has he?  From an LA-area based tweeter, came this sighting on the 11th, quite early in the morning:


 

With Mr. @Collider-Scope guy copping out on providing any real-time proof that he was with Jake in London on the 10th, well, we can only take a legitimate look-see at Andrew Mitchell's tweet and wonder if indeed Jake has been maintaining those "bulging biceps" all this time in LA, away from social media view.

Oh, and as for Austin and his swim-mate's video demonstration yesterday afternoon, could be they were coerced into meeting up impromptu-like.   Without a doubt, they came up for air first, while Jake remains under the lily pads, so to speak.

Mr. @Collider-Scope guy! I love that. I almost think he's on speed dial because he's popped up before to place Jake in a certain place while filming, but somehow no pics or other info ever follows. But, boy oh boy, he sure wants you to know where he is traveling to meet up with Jake. Then the word embargo is conveniently dropped to "legitimize" why he can't provide any further details of his excursion.

Let me add that the 08:26am is Central Time, which would put Jake at that LA area gym at 6:26 in the morning. Sound unlikely?

Not really, when you remember that he and Austin have a bunch of little ones. Little ones wake up early. And with Austin being at home as well, Jake can go off and leave the kids with Austin while he goes off to tend to his bulging biceps. Jake's arms aren't always as "developed" as they were in those Okja pics, so it makes me wonder if Life filming is going to require him to be rather fit. And that could be why he needs to hit a gym which is going to have a more extensive selection of machines.
Just a thought.

Certainly, going by the video, Austin is not quite as camera-ready and is enjoying the benefits of 24/7 being with his Main Man. :-)

3-2-1...I wonder how long it's going to be before a Jake Gyllenhaal "real-time" exclusive photo or three or four, will appear on Just Jared, or maybe the Daily Fail, to prove Jake has been in London all along? Or, maybe Lainey Gossip will have a column on how Jake's meeting up with his ol' pal Marcus Mumford. We haven't seen that guy around for awhile. They could kill two birds with one stone.

For those who want to see the influence of Austin's college degree and intelligence when in the company of his beard, here's a link to the video to see some of his "best" work to date:

We don't always like to showcase all of the bearding shenanigans, but I think this particular piece of work needs to be showcased so we can all see just what Austin Nichols is really capable of. :-)

But onto another subject - baby Hugo's birthday.

prairiegirl said...

As we get closer & closer to two special Jake/Austin dates in August, it reminds me that one of those dates was related to the birth of one of their kids - baby Hugo, who was born in 2010. Do we know for sure that their child is named Hugo? No, not 100%, but we have a couple of good clues that came from Busy Phillips and her cake-making that told us the child was named Hugo.

2010 was the year of their Leadville baby Tile. Can you believe their Leadville child turned 6 years old this month?

Methodical Muser said...

Ah, Baby Hugo. Six years ago this month, there was an interesting sequence of events taking place in the lives of our OTP, Austin and Jake.

Let's start with a timeline for context:

June 28-29, 2010 (Monday-Tuesday) Tweets begin to appear that spot Jake heading off to Martha’s Vineyard
Suspicious: People expect Jake to stay in MV for the entire summer, but suddenly he’s papped back in LA within 3 weeks.]

July 23 (Friday) – JG Leaving an Organic Supermarket in Hollywood

Suspicious: August 2 (Monday) NY Daily News.com posts that Jake was in MV on July 28, (Wednesday), but it makes no sense if Jake is photographed in Hollywood on July 23 (Friday) coming out of a store, and again on August 8th at a Farmers Market. Jake, in fact, is never seen in MV again that summer.

July 29, 2010 (Thursday)
@AUS10NICHOLS AUSTIN NICHOLS
saw 200 brazilians boarding a jet to rio. I tried to gatecrash and get on the flight. "No mr. Nichols. I'm sorry, you're going to detroit.

29 Jul 10 via Twitter for BlackBerry®
Austin tweets: Going to Detroit possibly for LOL movie role.

July 29, 2010 (Thursday) - JG is a big pot smoker story hits the internet. The focus is about the real reason that JG and Reesey-poo broke up (The dig has to do with RW not wanting Jake around her children. Reese could very well be taunting Jake, knowing he’s about to be a father again.)

August 2, 2010 5:37 PM (Monday) On Celebrity Shark Week (Ted Celebrates Celebrity Shark Week) on E Online Reese Witherspoon as the Spinner Shark
“While Angie might be the queen of the sea, Reese is master of the media. This always grinning gal can put a spin on any bad press—or, ya know, just have Camp Witherspoon fabricate some good press to cover up those nasty rumors.”

There are pictures of the shark and her boyfriend jogging on JJ today. Haven't seen many of those lately, so I'm guessing it was planned to come on the heels of the pot-smoking story.

August 8, 2010 (Sunday) Jake at Hollywood Farmers Market on Ivar 6605 Hollywood Blvd.
From a celebrity height blog thread I saw Jake Gyllenhaal at the Hollywood Farmer's Market on Ivar. I'm a legit 6'3. For Jake, 6'0 is a bit of a stretch, but I'll give it to him.

August 12, 2010 Austin tweets a pic of his mom surfing. His parents are visiting him in NC. The only time they do so the entire time he is filming OTH: 2008-2011.

August 15, 2010 (Sunday) Breakthrough Awards Takes Place (Austin was announced to be there with Sophia Bush, but doesn’t show up. No one knows where he is.)

August 15, 2010 (Sunday) – Jake takes Ramona to a “Birthday Party” in LA allegedly for Birdie Phillips party (Maggie is mysteriously in attendance with Ramona)--- Birdie, however, is actually born on August 13th (Friday). Busy tweets that the Birthday celebration was on Friday/Saturday (August 13/14th) so why would Jake be going to a birthday celebration on the 15th?

prairiegirl said...

July 29, 2010 (Thursday) - JG is a big pot smoker story hits the internet.

I did not realize at all that the pothead smoker story occurred during this time. Definitely, talk about a big #distraction and #LookOverHere

And I will never forget those stories of Jake getting caught coming out of the store in LA. He was practically railing, he was turning that corner so close. LOL!!!

And, guess what, PG? The comment from the individual who saw Jake at the Hollywood Farmers Market on August 8 has been removed from the thread. There's the other comments, but not that one. This means, PR went to the thread and specifically targeted that comment for removal. Another indication that Jake was not supposed to be in LA at that time. PR's response is to remove any evidence that placed him there. Gee, I wonder why that was so important?

Gee, I wonder why that was so important?

Maybe my present avatar might answer that question. Busy took this post down, but here is the tweet where she attached the yfrog picture.


Busyphilipps25 Busy Philipps
Wanna see the Monkey cake I made for my friend's kid's 1st birthday?? Lost? Need directions?
25 Sep

Somewhere along the way, the tweet disappeared along with the picture. If you click on the Lost? Need directions? link, it will take you to an error page that indicates the picture has been removed.

prairiegirl said...

This was also interesting. This was a tweet that appeared in 2011:

@TwisterMurch, your friend jake gyllenhaal is a new owner of #bonobos. I think it's a USC grad student thing.

And the logo for this restaurant? A little monkey.

Methodical Muser said...


Interestingly enough, both Jake and Austin were born in 1980 which is the year of the monkey. And, Jake also has an uncle named, Hugh. Both the Swedish (Jake's background) and Dutch (Austin's background) cultures use the name Hugo.

Jake has been photographed with a stuffed monkey before and Austin is known for his monkey ears. During the last season of OTH, the Brulian babies’ nursery in the show is loaded with monkey toys and, most importantly, in Swedish, Hugo means: mind, heart and spirit, which is easily something that would have immediate appeal to Jake and Austin.

Monkey Boy Jake

So why did Jake, Maggie and Ramona do a splashy pap walk in LA on August 15th, with an accompanying story that they were attending Busy's daughter birthday party? A party which Busy herself tweeted had been celebrated on August 13th and 14th.

Well, Jewish custom dictates that a bris for a health baby is done on the eighth day of life (counting the day of birth). If a baby was born by Caesarean section, the Bris is not performed on Shabbos or on a festival, but on the day following. Basically, this means that Jake and Austin could very well have been hiding another birth. The pattern was for all the family to convene in LA when a baby was being born. Maggie was there. Ramona was there. Stephen showed up the next day in a photo op with Jake having lunch. I'm sure Mommie Dearest Naomi was somewhere nearby as well.

Austin tweeted on the 16th that he was leaving from North Carolina to go to Detroit, but he often used social media to lie about where he was. Much as he does now. Back in February, a story ran that he was supposed to be in LA for the Do Something "Breakthrough" Awards, but instead he went missing in action. Sophia Bush, his fake girlfriend at the time, accepted the award alone:

Sophia Bush in LA on August 14, 2011 without Austin

That's why Austin's parents were suddenly being photographed and publicly publicized as being in North Carolina that particular weekend. Austin needed an alibi/distraction to be in LA. Surely, his parents would not have traveled to NC if their son wasn't there too. Right? The perfect cover because those NC pictures that were uploaded of his parents visiting were just as splashy as Jake's Busy Phillips "birthday party" scenario.

Classic PR misdirection. Austin could not have been with Jake because he was with his parents in North Carolina. And, Jake was hanging with his best bud to celebrate her little girl's birthday. Nothing to see here, folks. The problem is Jake had never been seen before or since celebrating Birdie's birthday. And, Maggie was never seen hangin' with Busy...ever. From 2008-2012, Austin's parents never "visited" him in NC either.

Fast forward,one year later, in 2011, and Austin flies from North Carolina, tweeting that he was in LA. He posted a pic of his new electric car as the plausible reason. How very convenient, that the visit took place on someone's special first birthday.



prairiegirl said...

So basically, the plan had been for Jake & Austin to be in LA for the birth of Baby Hugo, under the guise of only Austin being in LA for the Breakthrough Awards. The story was planted that Jake would be in MV all summer (because he had Atticus with him, after all!), which was why it was "ok" for Austin to be in LA.

But when Jake got caught at that store in LA, that is what blew their plans. So Mgmnt planted Austin in NC and he was a no-show at the Breakthrough Awards. In reality, he was in LA all along.

Whew! That was a lot of subterfuge going on. But I remember those pics of Austin's parents in Wilmy. They were weird and didn't make sense at the time.

I'm sorry, you guys, that the comments' Font is so small. I spent time later this afternoon trying to figure out how to enlarge it, but to no avail. The one set of directions that I did find weren't very good and too hard to understand, lol. My little brain just could not decipher it heads or tails!

I did figure out how to put a little pink box around the number of comments hyperlink, but as for the font size of the comments themselves, I'm SOL. The only thing I know how to do is to hit a Ctl+ and that will enlarge the font.

So, sorry about that, I know the type is small. :-(

Jared & Jensen had a convention this weekend in Minnesota and I didn't bring anything over here from it, sorry about that. Such a fuss was made over Jared not tweeting congratulations to Jensen, as though the whole state of their relationship depended upon it.

I hate to tell the J2 hat fans, but by Jensen having another baby(s), I think it just cements their closet for awhile yet. Who knows when or if him & Jared will ever come clean about the real life they've been deceiving the public about.

Which way do you guys think is better? To marry your beard and have your kids under the guise of a het family? Or like Jake and Austin, marrying each other in real life and having your children via surroggacy, but in your public life, being portrayed as single and available? Having dogs as your children or worse yet, say things like "I'm not a father, but I look forward to having kids someday.

Whereas, Jared has to stand back and watch fans and other folks congratulation Jensen & Danneel on their twins expectancy, when really the twins are for Jared and Jensen? But he has to act like the twins aren't going to be his, too. I mean....wow.

Does that make your head hurt? LOLLL. It's really not funny. That is just so screwed up, it's not funny. I honestly don't know how Jared & Jensen are doing it.

prairiegirl said...

And one more thing I wanted to touch on again, as our audience continues to grow across a variety of countries, is that I know it seems a little strange to only have two commenters all the time. Sorry about that! That's just the way it is, not much different from OMG the last several years, for any of those who have found us here from the mother ship and are familiar.

What's that old saying, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him or her drink. And that's okay, although I miss hearing other folks talk. Miss talking to other folks.

Again, our main objective here is to be able to speak on a daily basis if we so need to and with the playing field of more than 140 characters and the limited audience of Tumblr. The people that we need to see our observations are seeing them, so that is what is important.

So again, thanks for visiting and we really appreciate your checking out Narnia. Hopefully, some of the posts can be fun, nice pictures to look at, and along the way, yes, it's going to get rough and nasty at times. So if you can face up to that, I think we'll all learn some things about the HW closet.

G'night! :-)

The one major reason the blog is closed to other commenters, is that a management troll has tried to obstruct freedom of speech regarding the topic of the closet and especially the story of Jake and Austin's relationship. It's fun having a sandbox to play in where the local bully doesn't have a chance to spew his/her homophobic venom and utter stupidity. So much of the closet is built on chastising fans and trying to portray them as delusional tin hats who are trying to impose a sexuality on their clients. The very proposition that merely writing about what you see and read with your own two eyes is somehow not to be tolerated is about control. PR wants to dominate and spin their own narrative however they want, with no challenges or contradictions pointed out. Too bad. So sad. Welcome to the new age. It's called social media for a reason. Management no longer gets to manipulate the narrative, without scrutiny.
