Well, this author had a big ol' honkin' post drafted on the stunt and "melodrama" leading up to this year's San Diego Comic Con in the J2 fandom, but we'll table it for awhile. Instead, we've got a farmers market basket full of "produce" we want to drop on the table. Let's get started.
•An update on one of Narnia's OTP's.
— Jeffrey Flanagan (@FlannyMLB) July 28, 2018As we have mentioned in our post on Moose and Hos with a follow-up duo of posts on the free agency period which took Eric to the San Diego Padres, yet we did not have full closure on Mike Moustakas. He signed with his old team, the Kansas City Royals, in a deal which kept him in a familiar clubhouse, but never really felt like a permanent fix. Sure enough, overnight, Moose was traded by the Royals to the Milwaukee Brewers, where he will join former teammate, Lorenzo Cain. The Brewers are still very much in the playoff race, only 1 1/2 games out of first place behind the Cubs. Narnia wishes Mike all of the best in his tenure with the Brewers and this is best because now he will be able to see Hos whenever the Padres play the Brewers, as both teams are in the National League.
Narnia would like to share a picture that Eric posted on his Instagram recently. Dated May 26 of this year, during a season where Hos has mostly struggled on the field, the picture is a happy one. He's having an uncharacteristic year thus far and since he did sign a large contract, it opens him up to verbal criticism on social media. But here he is with Moose's family. That is Mike's father on the far left and two of his sisters, along with the husband of one of the sisters and their daughter.
We know that Hos will turn it around and also wish Moose all the best with the Brewers! Narnia will continue to check in with our MLB fave twosome since we believe this is a story which hasn't ended despite free agency, trades and "super" agents.

And Jared and Jensen? We'll make this one short and brief because that's all that is necessary. While some fans believe the Padalecki beard's Instagrams are about promoting herself and her position as Jared's "wife", one really needs to question why "Mommy and Mom" are such a prevalent, relentless theme.
We've got some weaknesses in this crafted video.
• We have Genevieve entering a bedroom and the video breaks. Then we have a glimpse of blue sleeve, but otherwise Tom Padalecki acting as though waking up is the main gist of the whole sequence.
• We have a small pair of hands writing "Mo -", a word which is then cut off. We don't know whose hands those are, do we? Were they even Tom's hands?
Here's another set of videos with a glaring weakness.
• For quick observers, one might not even notice that the fourth Hollywood Square isn't even a video. It's a still. Someone let me know if you have the actual video of that last "HW" square. ;-)

In the category of,
I saw these two tweets on my timeline last night and they scrolled almost back to back and found them (together) to be kind of, well, worthy of a definite second glance. As some may know, Kristopher Allen is currently touring with the American Idol finalists. And looks like on Thursday night, he was in San Diego. To make matters even more torturous, here he is singing his unique and popular cover of "Falling Slowly".
Falling Slowly in San Diego last night. Thank you, Kim Robles. #KrisAllen pic.twitter.com/RyAlLlF9kC— Jonins (@krisjonin) July 27, 2018
The next evening, in a very deja vu Kradam kind of way, Adam Lambert tweeted this:
— ADAM LAMBERT (@adamlambert) July 28, 2018
"Such a PRETTY song".
About a single called "I Think My Husband Lives in San Diego" and one that has been around since.......February. In other words, it's not newly released and being highlighted as such.
I'M JUST SAYIN'.

Remember these pictures? Jake and London chef, Katja Tausig.
You know, M&M happened to mention the above photo op in a comment on the previous post:
"Funny
how he was in England for months when he filmed the movie "Life" in the
summer of 2016, yet didn't see him anywhere, except for an awkward
series of photos with him and a British chef, Katja Tausig, which hit
the Daily Mail (that well-known bastion of truth) in October 2016, AFTER
he had already returned to America." - August 26, 2018
So in another case of funny-weird, a blurb about Jake ('out and about' in ol' Londontown again) appeared on Twitter yesterday, referring to this sighting:
The star of Brokeback Mountain and Donnie Darko was hanging out in Shoreditch this week https://t.co/xkZAKom2F1— Eater London (@eaterlondon) July 27, 2018
Here's the scoop:
Actor Jake Gyllenhaal made a low-key visit to Lyle's, the restaurant from James Lowe and John Ogier found in Shoreditch's Tea Building this week. The star of Donnie Darko and Brokeback Mountain was there on Wednesday evening. - Aug 27, 2018.
Not sure if I can picture Jakers in this "agile-eating environment" type dining setting, can you? Those who have followed Jake these last oh, say 6 years, can you picture him in one of these middle tables?
I don't know...awfully light. Awfully open. Tables awfully close together. And no brick walls? lol.
Just an interesting aside: was the Shoes' video, Time to Dance, in which Jake "starred", supposed to be taking place in Shoreditch?
Jake Gyllenhaal goes on a murderous rampage through Shoreditch - http://t.co/D9GmQXrr American Apparel Psycho indeed.— Matthew Serge Guy (@Sergethew) March 13, 2012
We'll see if Mgmnt tries to resurrect Ms. Tausig in Jake's "canoodling" life. ;-)
Meanwhile, the hubs Austin was busy taking pen to pad and conjuring up a Just Jared robot for his twitter search, addressing Andrew Lincoln, a Walking Dead actor whom we did know that Austin man crushed on quite obviously and who could ever forget Andrew noticing how devilishly handsome he was in turn?
"He is a six foot hunk. He's unbearably good looking. And he's ridiculously fit."
Austin wrote a long-a** letter about his man-crush:
In the midst of Austin's worshipping, Narnia did notice this line:
"Andy became the example that I have since tried to model myself after. As a man. As an actor. As a friend. And hopefully, someday soon, as a husband and father."
While these two life changes of Austin becoming a husband and father would be legally and petri-dish-wise impossible because they've already made their way into his personal history, we do think it merits a take-notice. Is Austin planting a seed with that sentence? One of those "oh, by the way guess what happened already" Just Jared headline splashes?
"I do, We did" kind of announcement? Eventually, even the George Clooney's of Hollywood are showing they feel the need to put the Hetero and Happily Ever After image on their instagrams. And since Jake doesn't show any signs of wanting to take that road, Austin has shown he is willing to take the extra mile of pretense. We'll see.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
And speaking of "I do, we did", guess who got 'married'?
"By the time you read this, she and her partner, singer-songwriter Phil Elverum, whom she met through a mutual friend, will have been married in a secret ceremony in the Adirondacks, witnessed by only a handful of friends and their two daughters." - Vanity Fair
This will be an interesting story to watch. All Narnia will say at this point is, at least the "wedding" didn't take place in a barn or gymnasium. ;-)

And as we leave the post, let's end with a few lovely Kris and Adam moments, how about it?
Awwwww!! I LOVE them!

I'm not saying Kris is Adam's hubs, lol. But that's just crazy. Kris was in San Diego on Thursday night and Adam tweets about a song called "I Think My Husband is in San Diego" the very next evening. As I said, it's not like it's a new song which would pop up on Spotify. Dan Graydon released it back in February. And I can't even find the lyrics anywhere online. I feel lucky to have found the YouTube video. What a gorgeous song, too, albeit very mournful.
Just interesting, interesting, interesting.
;-)
Somebody let me know if there's a video of the beard at Comic Con with the children in hand. Out in the open in an unscripted, "uncontrolled" situation.
She posts video after video after video. But many are of the kids alone or in settings where I can see the kids wouldn't think they're just playing with their "minder" friend. I'm sorry, but that's very telling that we don't see Genevieve and Tom in the same frame in what is supposed to be his bedroom.
I have no idea how the guys are explaining half of this nonsense to these children. They're going to screw them up if they don't knock it off pretty soon. Tom's getting too old to be fooled. Kids are very, very sharp.
That whole Andrew Lincoln gushy, kiss-kiss, love fest between him and Austin is more than a bit curious. Back when he was still on TWD, in March 2016, Austin was complimentary, but professional in his reference to his castmate:
“Except that Andrew Lincoln is our point guard,” laughs Nichols. “He’s simply one of the best examples of classy leadership I’ve ever seen.”
Now, after Austin's been off the show for some 17 months, he pens an effusive, "will you marry me" letter that is pointedly all over his Google search. In fact, Lincoln cares so much about Austin that he describes him in that gif as a 6 foot hunk. Really, Andy?? Last time I looked you were barely 5'10" in your stocking feet, and Austin is pushing 6'4". If you can't even get that right, I wonder just how close you two are.
And then how did Austin go from the 2016 suitably restrained leadership description of Andy on the set of TWD to the bootlicker-like exposition, "Andy became the example that I have since tried to model myself after. As a man. As an actor. As a friend. And hopefully, someday soon, as a husband and father. Does that explain your new beard, Hassle, Austie?
Notice the parity between recent Jake articles and marketing " campaigns"about wanting to be a father and now we have Austin "someday soon" wanting to be a husband and father. *shakes head* One can definitely tell that Austin and Jake have the same WME playbook. Big clue that these two are in the closet with family is how their public profile is inundated with references to subjunctive mood tense musings about wanting to be a dad and husband.
And, with Michelle Williams...all I can say is these "secret" marriages are the seemingly "low-key" way of hiding closeted secrets these days. Funny how such under the radar, leave me alone privacy, invariably gets splashed all over gossip sites, with extensive details (storylines) about the relationship. Hmmm. What happened to the privacy!
...at least the "wedding" didn't take place in a barn or gymnasium.
You never know, PG. Maybe they were "married" in a large rainbow-colored shed on a treadmill. Their two daughters probably threw chicken feed and rose petals at them while keeping the happy couple hydrated with Evian bottled water during the ceremony!
That Adam Lambert tweet is very Harry Stylesesque. Harry has used songs and lyrics from songs to convey his love for Louis Tomlinson since 2010. His live performances of "Still The One" and "Girl Crush" on this last tour are perfect examples of how he has continued the tradition into his solo career. But, for years, he used lyrics, conveyed through tweets, to send out cryptic messages:
I lost all of my Vanity, when I peered into the Pool..I lost all my Innocence, When I fell in Love with you.xx September 13, 2010
Like PG mentioned, that song is from February, why suddenly tweet about it now? The night after Kris sang in San Diego. When it comes to the closet, there are rarely coincidences. Although management would love you to think everything is a nothingburger.
What I love is how almost giggly Adam was around Kris. He was reduced to mere mush, wasn't he? I love both of those last gifs - in the next to last one, the nudging and leaning going on is quite endearing. Awwww, I just loved them together. If Adam was indeed thinking about Kris, I find that totally...intriguingly hot.
Anyway.....enough of that. Kris is so busy promoting that new song of his, the ode to the beard which just happened to be released before this tour. *eye roll* I don't find it a good one, I'm afraid. The lyrics are negative. I know they're supposed to be romantic, but to me, don't come off that way. Weird.
Kris is so busy promoting that new song of his, the ode to the beard...
I don't care how much Kris promotes that song, it's awful. The lyrics are cliché-ish", immature and appear to be written by a 10-year old. Which makes me side-eye the whole reason for the hyperfocusing on how epic this "love" song is.
I updated the Mysterio Update post here: Far From Home Update for Jake G fans only
I really am thinking it's going to need a Part 2 and may not be concluded with an absolute confirmation until Jake is actually up on the screen itself the first day Far From Home plays at the theaters.
Good morning! Sorry we're still stuck on this Saturday post. It's been kind of a busy week and I was working on one to have ready, but I got derailed.
HOWEVER, M&M is working on a little something and so we'll be updating at some point this morning. I would change the music, but since she's going to be posting, that means the music will get changed and so I hate to put up some great music only to be replaced in a couple of hours by some of her crazy stuff. LOL!! ;-)
shhhhh, don't tell her that I called her Bob Dylan music "crazy". LOL. She's always picking out some far out, psychedelic music. ;D
I know, I know, I'm mainstream.
Boy, get a load of this planted conversation to try and place Big Sis Maggie in Vermont:
