The Scent of Stunts and Scandal - Coming Out Smelling Like a Rose


When last we left our two (2) crazy kids, Austin Nichols and (now ex-beard) & Agents of Shield actress Chloe Bennet, there was a big ol' honkin' bolt of lightning between them :


Aah yes, that world wide web symbol of splitsville.  Good times, right?  So this was around the July 4 holiday and there have been several goings on's that have had Narnia still keeping one eye on the past.  

Both Jake and Austin have been hiding out, I mean running with scissors ever since Hanukkah and Christmas, 

via GIPHY 

Running with scissors is fun and all, but we know that sooner or later, at least one of these men is going to have to come back and sit at their school desk.  :-(

So let's take a moment and see what ol' Chlo has been doing all this time while her people have been playing the slowest hand of 'Go Fish' that we've ever seen.  The peekaboo question of, "Is she, or isn't she?" hooking up with You Tuber, Logan Paul.

Her team first tried hinting at a possible break up, early on:


 
   
Then they tried floating her solo:

Flyin' Solo 

Back on again:


 

Back and forth, back and forth...


 

And then on December 13, 2017, Mr. Paul tweeted this:


 

While Bennet had tweeted this question just three days before, the post now deleted:


 Looks like they were "back on" again!  Anybody else getting dizzy?



And now we see what Logan Paul got himself into all kinds of hot water with his December 31st You Tube video of a person who had committed suicide in a Japan forest, a site known for such tragic occurrences.

On January 1st, there was this exchange:


 

Chloe's twitter account deleted the Tokyo, Japan New Year's tweet and then unfollowed Logan and family members on social media.


 

Logan Paul is roasted and toasted over an open fire and Chlo takes heat from some tweeters for having been associated with him and is explicitly asked what is the status of their relationship?

Because Chlo apparently developed both carpal tunnel as well as laryngitis, the gavel on the end of "Chlogan" was pounded down via this Comic Book site instead:


 
Interesting timing and "flow" of it all, isn't it? 

So there we have it.  Chlo is definitely flying solo again.

And Austin is still......flying solo.
As is Jake...still.....flying solo.

Does either man want to go through this beard interview process again?

Or will it be easier to simply step back into that same old pair of slippers again? Guess we'll just have to stay tune and see how events unfold.

This whole thing was kind of fascinating - like a darn car wreck.

I don't have hardly any doubt that Logan Paul went to Tokyo with the intention of trying to capture such a video when he knew he was going there. Did he realize how badly it would backfire? Who knows.

Did Bennet know his intent? I bet she did. The timing of everything - the social media "unfollowing" of family members, the deletion of her tweet, the tweet of her intent to go to Tokyo to begin with....it all reeks of stunt.

This gave her an excuse to finally be done with "Chlogan". Those two jacked around for months with "are they or aren't they".

The question is does this "realization" of how "wrong" Paul Logan was for her, "clear the way" for her to go "scurrying back" to Austin, ever grateful he'll take her back and Wangchols will be back on.

Because this Hassock Instagram thing is going nowhere and isn't high enough profile for Austin. At least Chlo is still on television and they can get their pics on Just Jared once in awhile.

Will be interesting to watch. We'll see. :-)

What a crazy day. I worked from home today because it was NASTY! outside. Freezing rain & drizzle, a snow dusting, wind, ice, ice, ice.

I love having the option of working at home - thank heavens for laptops and networks and all that. I don't have to be distracted by other conversations and noise - and hey, folks don't have to listen to me talking to the Help Desk or truck drivers on the phone. LOL! It's a win-win.

I fore-went a Hallmark movie tonight and watched the Critics Choice Awards just on the off chance [ha!] that Jake may appear. #slighteyeroll

Well, Liev Schreiber was there. Even though he keeps getting nominated over and over, never wins, he still appears. But did Jake?

Oh no. No, no, no......And two days ago, Tatiana Maslany was at the Palm Springs Film Festival promoting Stronger which is going on right now. There she was sitting on a stage, just like we saw 10,505 pictures of Jake over the holiday season, at this, that and the other screening and Q & A.

So where was Jake two nights ago with Tatiana in Palm Springs? I hope his people aren't going to try to say he's "stranded" in NYC. Please.

Verrry interesting. This whole promo of and award season for Stronger is proving to be incredibly interesting. I don't think the United States' Northeast is the only ones getting a snow job.

I think Jake's fans have been getting a helluva snow job about this movie.

Just my thoughts after observing all of the online activity, which is extremely telling in and of itself.

We'll see if an Oscar nomination can be pulled out of the hat, particularly after these "sudden" James Franco accusations.

Oops, a couple of grammatical errors, but I don't want to correct due to the HTML codes, I'm so lazy.

I meant that the Palm Springs Festival is going on at this present time, not Stronger.

Jake's people are doing all the promo right now, filling up his Twitter search with a lot of pleading, whining, crying and putting words into Heath Ledger's long-deceased mouth. All the interviews' quotes are about how this movie has changed him more than any movie he's done, he believes in the movie, he's all about telling stories. Well, if you so believe it, then why not be at the Palm Springs Film Festival with Tatiana Maslany for the final push? Why not show up tonight in Santa Monica at the Critics Choice Awards to reflect your pride in your project that your own company produced?

Who cares if you know you're probably not going to win? It's your baby, your life-changing movie. You're in a category with all of these great actors and you don't show up?

That doesn't show me a whole lot of character, sorry. Very strange and perplexing. Disappointing as well.
