Well, hola! Is everyone up and at 'em yet, post-Cinco de Mayo partaking? Because if you're still suffering from too many Margaritas at this hour of the evening, might as well roll right back into bed!
Mmmhmmm.....well, Narnia is here to help give this bright spring Sunday an added jolt of expresso with a few news items of note. Let's get started!
May 3 showed some much welcomed progress (we hope anyway) on the Louis Tomlinson front. Apparently, he has finally parted ways with his do-nothing, fifth column Management team, the James Grant Group (JGG), headed by Russell Eslamifar. At least that is what Simon Cowell's English mouthpiece, The Sun, announced this past Thursday. And, given the corrupted source of the information which, by the way, has not been picked up by any major American publication yet, a large grain of salt is highly recommended until something truly positive happens.

LOUIS' GONE DIRECTION

We are taking a wait and see approach to this news primarily because Eslamifar is a longtime hired hand and loyal minion of Simon Cowell himself. The guy, after all, worked with Cowell for years and was the Media and Creative Director at Syco Entertainment...which essentially means the director of stunts. That longtime role also indicates that Eslamifar was involved in the launch and marketing of One Direction from the beginning. In fact, in a Freudian slip kind of way, Eslamifar's LinkedIn page actually indicates he still works for Syco Entertainment - Sony Music since August 2008-Present. How interesting is that?
And, one cannot help but side-eye why Cowell has worked so hard to cover up his ties to Crusty (as he is derisively known in the 1D/Louis fandom). In fact, since June 2015, Cowell registered two new companies called, Phantom Property Holdings UK Limited and Phantom Holdings UK Limited. Let's not forget that phantom means: a figment of the imagination.
Then on July 27, 2016 Cowell changed the registered secretary to Chatel Registrars, including a change in addresses as well. The new address lead to another company called OJK Accountancy, which then leads...drum roll please... to the James Grant Group. I know this whirling dervish activity is headache producing, but Cowell has been working overtime, since the announcement of the 1D hiatus in 2015, to separate himself as much as possible from what is going on right now. Particularly, in relation to narratives surrounding Louis. There is little doubt, at this point, that he is trying to destroy Louis' career and he is using every tool and leverage point that he can to accomplish his goal. Although he has tried to disguise what has been going on, his big fat fingerprints are all over Louis' lack of support, the three-year fake baby hetero stunts, and the consistent negative media coverage (e.g. airport arrest defending the "girlfriend"), Louis has experienced since to 2015. Media plot lines designed to not just make Louis look as bad as possible, but to tank his music career. We see you Simon.
On a more unambiguous celebratory note, Harry Styles has been entertaining us with as much gay as he can muster on the Asian leg of his successful World Tour. This time he performed in Singapore, a city well-known for its anti-gay legal and cultural forces. A place in which an artist is specifically instructed not to wave a rainbow flag at, let's say, a concert where thousands of fans have gathered to not only enjoy your music, but the safe place that has been provided to everyone, including the LBGTQ community. Looks like Harry had some other ideas on the matter, and just like with Louis, we love him for it.

A still from the music video 'Miss You' with a pink triangle and the name,
Style written on a container
Originally intended as a badge of shame, the pink triangle (often inverted from its Nazi usage) has been reclaimed as an international symbol of gay pride and the gay rights movement, and is second in popularity only to the rainbow flag.
And Harry's response - another upside down triangle

And, just for fun. Since there was no room for much else during Narnia's month of April Jake and Austin photo extravaganza, here's a little leg from Harry Styles wearing a kilt at his Glasgow concert on April 14, 2018. That boy is a flirty one.
How do you follow a nice looking guy in a kilt, I ask???

Just a few Kibbles 'n Bits to round out M&M's fine posts on Mr. Louis and Mr. Harry.
Let's look at Austin's indie flick which premiered at the Dallas International Film Festival last night - The Iron Orchard, based on a 1966 novel by the same name and authored by Edmund Pendleton Van Zandt, Jr, under a penned name of "Tom Pendleton". The story is about the Texas oil industry and follows the life of a man named Jim McNeely, beginning in the 1930's.
Austin used the Dallas Film Festival to also roll out his newest beard, a Texas gal by the name of "Hassie Harrison". Like the last beard, this one has no issues playing the part. Let's take a look.

Interestingly, several of these pictures are unaccounted for as far as a direct source. If the original source is the tweeter, then one should have cause to side-eye how a "fan account" has pictures that no one else does. Here's Austin in his go-to bearding pose we're becoming rather accustomed to seeing, the ol' "Heyyyyyy":
"Looking amazing!"

Night goggles are required for this stage shot if you want to see Austin:

Where's Waldo in this, what is supposed to be I believe the after party. Good luck spotting Austin.

In other news, it looks as though the pilot for Austin's show, In the Dark , has already been picked up , so we will be able to see Austin's next work on the CW. If the series gets picked up, we will also likely be seeing the next real beard (sorry, Hassle!), who is waiting in the wings for her shot to pretend to the masses.

From the Handbook of "So You Want To Be a Professional Troll", does this sound familiar? A recent comment on the Jared/Jensen blog "Spn_Gossip" on Live Journal:

Can't
we just have sock posting only? Dealing with the c/p troll is really
unbearable. It is a major disruption for the comm. Having to go to screening is
not really an option as it slows down the flow of conversation and stops
tracking.
It doesn't have to be a permanent change. The inconvenience of posting with a sock is worth the ability to ban and slow down this type of persistent troll.

c/p = copy/paste
Beginning in 2012, Oh My Godot began to be spammed by an intern troll who would copy/paste the same comment about Austin and his beard or whatever, over and over and over. I have numerous emails dating back from 2012 onward between several of us who saw hundreds, sometimes several thousands of these same kinds of copy/paste jobs go into the blog's folder. I guess too, that in the summer of 2014, a troll was spamming Data Lounge threads on celebrities like Matt Bomer and Lee Pace, spamming with copy/paste comments hundreds of times until a thread was filled up. Gee, let's see. What do nearly all of these gentlemen have in common.....Jake...Austin...Matt Bomer...Jared Padalecki...Jensen Ackles... *think think* [looks like Mr. Pace is fairly fluid, I just don't know too much about him to give a 100% inclusion.]
I will beat this drum into oblivion until more and more folks realize that these aren't just little johnny's and lucy's having a Bueller day off from school and getting into mischief.

Aaaah and speaking of the Padackles...
Looks like "crawfish" was the word not too long ago, and it should be said that one of Jensen's Instagram posts on April 28 made me think of Thing in The Addams Family.
Here's Jensen and his hand.
Not sure who Jensen is looking at, but it's not the picture taker. Maybe he's looking at the folks he's hollering "Order up!" to, huh? It was during April 28 that Jared was being placed in Las Vegas with rinse/repeat gems like,
(lol) and a sampling of fan photos, one being suspiciously blurry, with someone who just happened to be wearing a Supernatural shirt, and another fan who just happened to run an instagram which focused on fandoms, particularly the whole Supernatural crew, including the beards and meard.
Does it matter who was where? Heck, maybe Jared wasn't even in Vegas and Jensen wasn't in Texas hauling crawfish around. Maybe both men were somewhere else....hmmmmm...
It's possible! Just remember, all it takes is for one photo to be hinky. If one photo is hinky, then you have to question why is that?
Here's a photo that's minus the hinky, though. I love Jensen's feet here:
Remind anyone of someone???
Awww, I love it! And on that note, let's wrap this one up. Last question! Will Jake show up this week at Cannes? Or at the Met Gala? Or will it be Door #3?? Taking all bets!
