Walker Stalker Wrap-Up for 2016

Austin wrapped up his Walker Stalker convention appearances for 2016 this weekend in Atlanta, Georgia, the home for the top rated television show.  Most, if not all of the main players were in attendance and Austin did his selfie and signature thing along with them.




 

Giving some life advice along the way...

 

 

 

 

 

And this time, a panel:

 

 and then this youthful shot:





Oh, and speaking of the beard...

 Don't forget the special programming note as Austin has assisted with:



Maybe the beard will have a bombshell for us to explain last Sunday night, you never know.  ;-)   They've had all week to work on this, after all.

And then there's Jared and Jensen at today's EW Popfest!

So much happening today, there are no issues with multiple posts.  This one is not technically a post per se, but merely an opportunity to show Padackles as they are today, bedecked in leather and shades at the EW Popfest. Listen to the interviewer trying to get a word in, she's invisible to these guys.


 

and prelude to the entrance,

 

It's a funny thing as I was looking at pictures from today's EW Popfest after looking at the Ang Lee/Jake pictures this morning.  And it was kind of interesting to see this on stage:



and Jensen literally running from Jared's hug:


 

And when Jensen returns, he sidles up to the side of their interviewer, look at that. ;-)

For those who are accustomed to seeing pictures and videos from their numerous conventions, the sight of their chairs so far apart is quite unusual, isn't it?

Are our OTP's getting a case of stage fright this weekend?

Great to see Jared & Jensen, though.  Here they were before the interview, backstage:



  Looking great, fellas!

Anatomy of a Hug

Just watch the pictures.









 And you knew there had to be a finger-point sneaked in there, even with Ang Lee.

Behind the formal stage, some nice pics:



  This event took place last night (Oct. 28) where Ang Lee won the John Schlesinger Britannia Award for Excellence at the 2016 AMD British Academy Britannia Awards, held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, CA.  An incredible honor for Jake and it is very evident the fondness and affection that Ang Lee felt during the presentation.  Just curious if that small statuette in Jake's hand somehow affected his past history of returning a hug?  

Just curious.

Gonna Need A Little Bit More of That Mortar Over Here!

Because we here at Narnia don't like to keep pleasant surprises all to ourselves, we thought we would share a couple of quick notes tonight.  Quick being the key word, blink and you might miss them.

Television programming heads up:



Of course, if the World Series is still being played, there may need to be some multi-tasking going on, i.e. Cheez-It nibbling.  Because how can we deprive ourselves of the missed opportunity of watching the 5 o'clock shadow (Chlo Bennet) dig herself out of the mess created from Sunday's LA Galaxy debacle?  Or perhaps we should start a pool on what number one reason will be given for Austin Nichols missing The Walking Dead red carpet season 7 premiere.  

 Two Possibilities:

 * one of the deards ate the Google Map directions to the Hollywood Forever Cemetery where the premiere took place

 * the couple lost track of time while filming Instagram Stories and Snapchats

 Or MAYBE Austin wasn't in Los Angeles at all on Sunday, the 23rd.  That reason might be more like the winning ticket.  And if he wasn't in LA attending the Galaxy game & the accompanying Agents of Shield family photo op or The Walking Dead season premiere, what occasion would have been powerful enough to draw him away from both events?  How about Jake's opening performance of "Sunday In The Park With George" in New York City. That would be just the right lure for Austin's heartstrings.

 But we'll let Chlo tell everyone on Sunday night what the real reason was. *wink*

 And even though Mr. Nichols is scheduled to participate in this weekend's Walker Stalker convention in Atlanta, might he return to Los Angeles in time to join his partner in crime in Talking Dead stories?  

After all, he may have some of his own explaining to do, in order to distract from that Family Tile sighting near his Michigan birthplace on Tuesday October 25th.

Mic drop.

When the Control Isn't Enough to Cover the Damage - Exhibit B with Liam Payne

And then....there's the case of this Cheryl Cold, I mean Cheryl Cole-Versini individual.  She's supposed to be Liam's girlfriend and expecting his love child.  I'm sure there have been enough holes already in the piece of swiss cheese story before this author ever began paying attention.  Anyway.

 Liam went to Vegas this past weekend.

Good times ensued.
 

Positive pictures, positive social media feedback from his fans.

Then Liam posted this picture from his Instagram overnight:


And how was it interpreted?

"Missing Cheryl?  Liam Payne Shares Sweet Loved-Up Message As He's Separated From 'Pregnant' Girlfriend While Partying in Las Vegas" - The Daily Mail

The crowned girl emoji accompanying his Instagram photo is I reckon our sign that there are still some dangling strings tying the OneD boys to Modest Mgmnt.  One would have to read the Daily Fail's interpretation however to be fed word-for-word what Liam was conveying to the public:


The One Direction star is no doubt missing Cheryl, 33, after he headed to Los Angeles last week to continue work on his solo music.

This narrative is followed up with an even more Flatman-ish story about Liam buying Cheryl an engagement ring, courtesy of the Sun.  In their article alone, we see: 

Now magazine claims
it has been reported
a source close to the couple
Now magazine also claim
after sources told the Sunday People
had previously told pals
is now rumored to be
unseemly source

The Mirror isn't any more believable:

doesn't appear to have been
It looks like
plans for her next wedding are apparently underway
it's claimed that
It's believed that the couple
look set to marry
A source told Now magazine
the source claims
said the insider
it's thought that Liam
the source went on to add
unseemly source number two 

Boy, with tough as nails, fact-based writing like that in an online publication, who needs Mental Floss?  

It's rather reminiscent of when Liam's announcement came about signing with Capitol Records, isn't it?  That celebratory news had barely breathed oxygen in the media when the headlines were loudly joined with "How Cheryl Hernandez Versini Gave Him the Confidence for a Solo Career" and "One Direction Fans are Reading the Writing on the Wall" and "Liam Payne just signed a solo record deal with Capitol Records and the internet is NOT ok".

Intriguing, isn't it?  Looks like a smothering-of-good-news job to me.




LOLLL.  It's really not funny, but the message is conveyed.  Is there a developing pattern going on with the OneD boys and their progressing, positive professional developments?  Looks like they have dark shadows following each one and not of their doing.

For Liam's Vegas happy pictorial to be immediately followed with forced tie-ins to Cheryl Cole Fernandez Guess How Many Names I Have Versini, again the power struggle seems evident, but losing steam.  These guys are breaking free and while Modest is struggling to hang on until the very end, that leash is looking noticeably frayed.

When The Control Isn't Enough to Cover The Damage - Exhibit A with Austin Nichols

When cover-up for a deeply closeted individual is going to be needed, the battle plan should be proactively in place as well as effective. When all of the pieces are not in place however, the leaks in the dike of cover-up begin spouting everywhere so that witnesses are left with a puzzle as easy as....
We knew who was in New York City this past weekend. Anyone in Jake's fandom knew. Jake was in the Big Apple; he was rehearsing for Sunday In The Park With George for the NYC Center Gala held at the City Center, leading up to opening night last night, Oct. 24.  

 So what started on Oct 22 with a beard-hosted Halloween pumpkin carving party...






Oh, wait - I'm sorry.  I forgot there wasn't a picture to post of the couple to document that particular event.  (The wonderful Frank Drebin in assistance.)

But then on Oct. 23 here came the Agents of Shield crew trying to place Austin at an LA Galaxy soccer game.  And just for GPS purposes, the timing is well documented:

Let's see, you have half of the men photo'd with their SO's on their lap, and then there's Austin and Chlo......   oh.  Looks like Jennifer Grey isn't on her SO Clark Gregg's lap because she was needed at Chlo's side.  Yeah, I think that's what was going on there.  And Austin barely made it into the pic.   Amazing, isn't it?  Mgmnt had their money shot opportunity right there.  Put Chlo in Austin's lap like the other fellas.  But they didn't get it.

 Now what was going on later that evening, on October 23?  The big season opener of The Walking Dead.  #1 rated show in television.  Number One.  Fans were excited enough about the event to trend The Walking Dead all day on Twitter. All day and all night.  The ratings knocked out Sunday Night NFL Football!  There was a red carpet premiere held at the Hollywood Forever Cemetary in Los Angeles with major cast members.  Here's the group pic:

 Norman Reedus, Andrew Lincoln, Steven Yeun, all of the major actors were there.  Even Austin's buddy Chris Hardwick, remember him?  Austin supposedly attended his big wedding gala this past summer, complete with bolo tie.  Chris was there to host a Talking Dead event after the season opener premiered.

But someone's missing in that cast picture.  Austin is.  Perhaps he and Chlo were walking the dogs and grilling burgers with the Agents of Shield family.

So, in a nutshell.  Management would have folks believe that Austin and his 'gf' would rather attend an LA Galaxy game on Sunday afternoon followed by whatever, than attend an important career event like the premiere of The Walking Dead.  

Seems like this resulting puzzle might be more à propos now?

Oh Wait! What About....

A new picture of Jake appeared on Twitter this morning. It was a real nice pic of him with Jeff Bauman and folks from Stronger.  I think the nice looking gentleman to Jake's right might be Jeff's brother?  Don't hold me to that.  Check out Jake here. He's just as happy as a little mouse at the Osceola Cheese Factory.


The picture was just another nail in one of the 2 x 4's of Jake's little "Who Do I Look Happier With?" house.  :-)  Because - well, let's just look at a few pictures and see if that might help explain what really doesn't need too much explaining, ha ha.

This one can still cause a spine to twist up like a Slinky.

Okay, well hey, what about -

 Okay, one more try.  How about.....




Oh.  Uh.  Well, okay.  Now, let's not end this on a sad sack face Jake. Here.  Let's raise the roof on that snoozefest. Now, THIS is what I'm talkin' about, folks...






 Thank you, fellas!!!  Sometimes only the barest minimum of words is needed to make a point, isn't it?
