Sunday Morning Musings: Jake at Sundance, Vancouver vs Austin, and a Safety Moment



Good mooorning!
With Quik Trip Vanilla Cupcake Cappuccino at hand, I'd like to take a fun, lazy look at some stuff... 


1.  Was doing some research for the future and came across this now deleted comment from Just Jared.  The comment was on an Austin post entitled:  Austin Nichols:  Lips Beyond Compare and was dated June 1, 2007.  (Complete with lots of pics of Austin at a John from Cincinnati premiere)



Hugo's is a cafe in Santa Monica, California.  


 C'mon, let's hear it.  Awwwww!   Of course, now you look at the link:  http://www.justjared.com/2007/06/01/austin-nichols-lips/comment-page-2/#comments   and you see this:




C'mon Just Jared, why have you deleted all your old comment threads????  Deleted the entire 2006 Lakers pic post?  Bad enough to delete old comments, but an entire post?  Just askin'.


2. Connecting the Beard Dots


https://camillerowefr.tumblr.com/post/169882151702/camille-in-los-angeles-18012018

Harry's latest beard, public female companion Camille Rowe has apparently "moved in!" with on-again, off-again gf* of Paul Wesley, Phoebe Tonkin.  Some may remember Wesley/Tonka Truck as former enablers of Austin and ex-beard, Chlo Bennet.  So is Camille there as a resident in training, aka boot camp for Hollywood gal pals?  It's interesting how so oftentimes "birds of a feather" flock together.  Let's hope it's a short stay and likewise stint for Harry.

3.  One constant in the lives of Jared and Jensen has been the public distancing of them and their beards, I mean public wives Genevieve Cortese and Danneel Harris.  The guys work in Vancouver about 9 months out of the year and the ladies have been stationed elsewhere, allegedly in Austin, TX for the last several years, with the narrative, I mean explanation that they are raising the children while the men are being the food gatherers of the household, i.e. also cavorting about and running with scissors (wink).  Imagine the fans' head scratching when things go topsy turvy this filming season and you have Danneel guest starring in Supernatural and now Genevieve also invading the Vancouver turf for Insta Stories and Stickers up the whazoo.  Just one of many rugs being pulled out from under the feet of regular observers. 

A sampling of ponderings:



Then, after the holidays when fans are thinking they can look forward to a return to normalcy again, they were met with all of the Family Beer Business grand opening hoopla (and subsequent Jensen/beard 'togetherness') and Genevieve popping up in Vancouver, BC for birthday celebrating and overall 'hanging around/loitering'.  ;-)  As only Gpad can do, with 50,001 Stories and Stickers:



[Huh.  Now there's Gpad lamenting how they can't be at the FBBC grand opening, yet there's her "location" showing the same said name.  How does that work?]

Anyway, more throwing around of that "Vancouver" GPS location.....



Ooops, apologies for the foul language comment, but as you can see, there was much contemplation, fretting and arguing over the idea of the children being away from their school in Austin, TX.  Originally, there was much of the same when Tom was not visible for awhile, and fans were speculating why he had been left behind in ATX while everyone else was in Vancouver.   #NoWords for even speculating this.

Lots of GPS switching, kids MIA from school...you have two alternatives here.  1) home schooling or 2) these children aren't really going to school in Austin, TX.  If option #1 is what's going on, then that makes all of the ATX school/teachers chatter false.  If option #2 is correct, please refer to false chatter in option #1.  

And likely Tom was not missing school in ATX, because he doesn't go to school in ATX, but attends in VCR.  And perhaps the beards, I mean wives are appearing in VCR because public relations is getting tired of coming up with weddings and dinosaur shows in Austin for the men to be seen at.  So rather than all the time spent flying and upheaval of the children means it's easier to finally bring the ladies to where they are, unfortunately.  After all, when there are six, that's double the suitcases, double the sippy cups, double the tired crying and it's avoidable.

And if one does need to be in Austin TX (say, for a business venture grand opening), then perhaps the other SO remains behind in Vancouver to mind the shop, so to speak.  Hence, the "visiting" brunette makes for "explanation" and "cover".

Just something to think about.

4.  Jake Gyllenhaal at Sundance Film Festival!!!
Hey, look who popped out of the bushes finally and had to pull his big snow boots on.   Mr. Jake, looking all fine and very spiffy, and rather tan....Hmmmm, has the sun been shining that much in the Big Apple?  Lucky New Yorkers!  ;-)   Here he is, wave hello to Jake!

He emerges, complete with muffler and hat, sans gloves.  The arrival:




The premiere carpet - aw, doesn't he just look great?







And then the after party:






Cast photo (Mr. Dano kind of forgetting those on his left, don't forget inclusiveness is the key, Paul!) -





Applause, applause, very nice!!  Great to see Jake again, eh?

5.  And speaking of, we conclude with an important safety moment, because I have to look out for this guy and say hey, just like with driving, we have to go about our business defensively and try to foresee something unfortunate and take proactive measures to avoid as such.   Earlier in the week, these pics appeared of Jake allegedly in NYC with his deard, I mean dog, Leo.   



And they concerned me right off the bat because Jake was carrying two cups of (I assume) hot beverages in his hand while also holding onto a leash, besides the fact that in the second photo, the cups are stacked on top of each other.   And I have to ask, what if Leo spots another dog and even tugs on the leash?  What if someone bumps into Jake along the sidewalk?  What if he trips/stutters on an uneven part of concrete?  It's just a precarious situation while trying to hold onto a leash at the same time.  Any kind of jostling and the lid can pop off and spill very hot liquid onto his hand, perhaps even burn through his clothes onto his leg.  
The reason this hit at me was I had just recently learned of my sister's friend who was carrying a stockpot of boiling water from her stove. Not sure how it happened, but she tripped and the boiling water spilled on her and she spent a month in the hospital after facial and hand skin grafts and recuperation.  Not anything to play around with.  At least maybe it might help to use one of those egg-crate drink carriers so that the cups can sit snugly inside. Of course, that still requires two hands, so I really don't quite know a solution to this.

We just want our guy to stay safe from harm and everyone else, as well.  Be careful this time of year with cups of hot coffee and tea, everyone!  :-)

Okay, that's all for today, Happy Sunday, y'all!

We'll have more on Sundance, but as is often the case, sometimes you have to wait for the shaking out of the clothes before putting into the final stage, the dryer. LOL!

And I didn't put this into the post, but this comment serves as a stern warning to someone:

Death threats are not going to deter us. For one thing, you picked on the wrong person when you mess with M&M. As you found out, she didn't respond at all to your nonsense.

But death threats? You're not dealing with Decoding Anna here. I'm the loud one in this administrating bunch and I will be darn loud if I have to be.


Yes, M&M has been receiving a series of texts on her phone over the past week, starting out as undecipherable ramblings, then an "I love u", and after no responses from M&M, finally escalating to a threat of killing.

So, just letting this be known. Not throwing down the gavel on who it is, but this is out of the ordinary and comes on the heels of a post which I'm sure one particular Mgmnt team must not have been too happy about. It's a first for us after years of blogging and social media, so this is why we feel we have a feeling who the threat came from.




prairiegirl said...

I don't take anything like that lightly. And like I said, it's a first for us. After how many years of blogging, tweeting, Tumblr'ing, and commenting?

There's one team that I have had indirect knowledge of unsavory, threatening behavior and some of us know whose team that is. And it isn't Jake's team. They're not the friendliest types, but they have never threatened us like this.

No, this is someone else.

Not funny at all. Maybe some blood pressure medicine might be needed for them, I would say. That, or a good book. Stop looking here, might help.

M&M and I were talking about this last night when she told me about this threatening text. I'm out there, very visible. She's not. She's not on any social medium. But she's alot of the brain power of the way we work together, it's how I look at it, anyways.

Back when I had first-hand dealings for over a year with another J2 believer (and I use that term loosely because I'm certain she was not friendly fire), sent to me to get our thoughts on stuff, what did she repeatedly ask me in her emails? I thought you might ask your friend M&M what she thinks

She always asked that - she always wanted me to ask what M&M thought about something or did she know of any other information. (LOL - I know nothing, I guess.) But, this is probably why the texts went to her, not to me.

And I share this with anyone who reads here, because this is a public record. If something sketchy really were to happen to one of us, I want there to be some kind of written record of anything suspicious. We're going to be up front about it.

We recognize that sometimes what we post is controversial. But it still is just us and our thoughts and speculations.

prairiegirl said...

Okay, enough of that seriousness, just wanted to make public note of it.

Isn't it interesting all this talk about Tom Brady's hand? What is all that smoke & mirrors about?

I'm ready for football to be done and let's get to baseball! Everyone have a great Sunday!

Good grief, J2 world is just a huge, unappetizing mess. Spn Goss is a constant trolling mess. Every time you turn around, something far out is happening that’s never happened before.

All the OTT bearding, so much melodrama. It all looks like these two guys are making a mad dash for the Finish Line and they can’t get there fast enough. These are all signs of a coming to an abrupt end to the show, which remains to be seen, but I will be very surprised if they come back for another full season. Why?

Because they have 6 kids. They have six kids, with 3 of them in diapers. They have one in kindergarten, two in possibly preschool....These two guys are meeting themselves coming and going. And it’s not just that. It’s the whole “living in Austin TX” narrative and having to pretend on some weekends that they have gone to TX, which means file photo ops, fake tweets, “airport sightings” by the enabling Vancouver pap agency, going out to be seen in downtown Austin, or Jensen going to the brewery.

This is hard on them, it’s even harder on the kids. The separation, all the subsequent Facetiming. I really don’t think they want to go through another whole season of this, but we’ll see, I guess.

Stay safe M&M. They're probably just trying to rattle you. But you might want to think about reporting it to the police, if for no other reason but to scare them back.

Deleting comments years after the fact? That's a new low for JJ. All the nonsense and lies and pr-approved stories has just about ruined gossip sites for me. I rarely go to them anymore.

Hey there, Destiny.

Yeah, I've done my due diligence as they say. Including pics, et al. And that kind of idiocy doesn't get me down at all. It just solidifies to me how desperate certain elements in the entertainment industry are, even worse it seems in Trump America where apparently anything goes in terms of mendacity and just utter unscrupulousness.

All the nonsense and lies and pr-approved stories has just about ruined gossip sites for me. I rarely go to them anymore.

I know what you mean. The atavistic trends in our politics, "news" media, sports, and celebrity culture itself continues to spiral downward with each passing year. Fighting back against the sludge becomes even more of a necessity within this tidal wave of sludge. United we stand and all that. And, let's face it, it's fun to poke the underside of the seediness and expose what's really behind the curtain. These PR teams have very little imagination and steal from one another to see what they can get away. The key is to call them out on their bullshit, including their misogynistic, and homophobic core. Money and power corrupts. But sunlight is always the best disinfectant.
