Pandemic Quaranting OTP-Style - The Good, The Bad (II)




Well, we had a look at the Good from our Stay-At-Home OTP's and Faves. Click →  Right here was Pt I.  Now......some of the Bad.

lol.  Ugh.  Let's get to it because the following nonsense needs to be blowhorned, sorry!


• Liam's second "Home With Liam Payne" was very Good!  

It does look like Liam has Big Brother Sony as one of the show runners of his You Tube show though, as several tic marks were made, one of which was his congratulatory words on Zayn and Gee Gee's alleged "bun" in the oven.   

This was one of those hostage camera "They're treating me very well" kind of statements read from a teleprompter.  







And it was done so that Management could use rag sites to fill his social media timeline with a lot of tweets "praising" Liam for congratulating his band mate.  

Big Brother checked their next box yesterday with this one - having Liam bring up the subject of Bear, the now three-year-old boy belonging to Cheryl something-something-something-something-Cole, and who is supposed to be his "son". Who could forget, Bear (endure the) Payne? Enough said.


 

Check!





• The pandemic stay-at-home directive has brought the Ackles camp into turbo overdrive with all kinds of posts about their "crazy" domestic household.  But this bad example of "home" safe practice is when publicists 1) run out of ideas and 2) don't even think about their responsibility for viewer influence.  Get a load of this bit of ridiculousness.




Too stupid for words.  And is it possibly a photo shop?  Do you think Danneel is actually going to risk toppling over with no one standing beneath in case she should fall?  And how was she planning on getting down?  How did she get that far over?  She would have had to start out on the ledge and then continued to inch across.  Most regular folks would just have used an extended duster that is specifically designed for high ceilings.  

Here's a live look at Danneel and Jensen letting the Padackle Publicist Team use their images to do just about anything to sell familial domesticity and do-it-youself cleaning services during a stay at home quarantine.


Also, there's no way did Danneel actually position herself for that snapshot.  More like she posed with the vacuum against the floor and then the digital team transferred the image onto that ledge.  Just sayin'.

• Well, let's move on to some more absurdity. For the last couple of years, Jake's baby pictures have been robot'ed and passed around on Twitter like nobody's business.  Until one particular baby picture began to circulate as a meme for being "scary".  The trend disappeared for awhile, only to resurface this past week. Narnia assumes because Team Social Media is lacking for new ideas.  The over 2K retweets and 30K "likes"  would indicate one of those Jacquelyn Dahl-like "zillion" social media posts with "digital and social elements"




"IS THE WORST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN".   Really?  In what world is this ever funny? Or, kind?  Is this simply disrespect by a publicist team against their closeted client?  Narnia is just trying to figure out the exact angle because there are too many tweets like the one below to even think about posting.



This is from a similar "round", last April 2019:




It truly boggles the mind how Entertainment industry publicists have flooded social media with these kinds of cruel twitter memes on behalf of their own clients just for publicity or to remain relevant. Particularly, when the closet is involved and being hidden away for long stretches of time is the norm. But, then again, what did one of the first publicists, aka carnival barker, P.T. Barnum once say?  "There's no such thing as bad publicity."

And if they're not a bot account, the bullying encourages this kind of piling-on mentality, which in turn invites even more piling on.  This individual is a film critic, journalist and a member of Critics Choice and LA Film Critics.



In Jake's case, Mara's social media team is....just being plain mean.  No other word for it.   This author happens to think it's a very cute photo - always has.

With regard to Liam Payne's social media team (whoever they are), it is disturbing to notice how they are doing the same thing.  It's a belittling, disrespectful tactic to practice because it shows not only a lack of support, but a complete lack of faith in their own client.  With Liam, it's likely tied to Sony and therefore has a more sinister purpose.  Yes, we know Liam is not publicly attached to Sony/Syco, at least not officially. But, there is some kind of hold on him, as with all the 1D guys. Probably through image rights. But in Jake's case, his social media team simply is too lazy to promote him in a respectful way.  Or IS it also because he has no part of his real private life that he can show on social media? Other than his quirky pandemic sourdough starter, that is.

Yes, there are some funny pictures of reactions and quotes.  But these guys are way more than that. Looks like when you're in the closet your image is never your own.  Particularly, when so much of your real life is hidden away from public view.

•  And while we're on the subject of Jakers, there's the proverbial "I want to be a father, start a family someday" interview popping up.  It's like a roundabout, isn't it?



In this case, the interview is in this month's issue of Popular Mechanics -- What?  No, no, no, no, the interview comes via British Vogue.  Yes, that's right, yet another British publication, but used as a source by American sites like People.com and Just Jared.



Let's see, what was that again?



Here's sell-out Perez Hilton enabling Jake and his team, once again.  The lying is just Over The Top.  Perez Hilton knows Jake's situation are too well.  After all, he is an old timer who knew about Jake and Austin's relationship in its early days. 




And since this latest carousel of "wanting to start a family" interview mentioned Jake's beard, I mean girlfriend Jeanne Cadieu, one's only conclusion would seem to run parallel with this fan's thinking:


Welllllll...let's see.  We haven't seen the beard since these pics were published, allegedly taken in NYC way back in March:





















And she hasn't shown up as of yet, while Jake's been interviewing and singing from home... but there's always the next time.  ๐Ÿ˜‰


• In another show of the Bad, Jensen and Danneel Ackles seem to be taking their charade further and further to sell the "hunkered down in Austin TX" scenario.  First, they were enabling to help sell former co-stars (for both of them) Jeffrey Dean Morgan and his beard, Hilarie Burton.  Now, for some reason, the entire footage is no longer available on You Tube.  Isn't that interesting?



In what has become yet another "Look kids, Big Ben!" moment, Jensen tells the story of how they saw the potential for a mutual contract, no, no, no - lol.  He didn't say that.  We'll pretend we are buying their story, though.  And, let's just say when you have to keep re-telling this story AND you need to use Just Jared as your platform,


We won't even go into the whole "Jensen becomes an "ordained minister" just in time to 'marry' the twosome story.  Let's save that little gem for another day.

And then there was this moment in one of many recent pictures and vids used as more brick and mortar for the "Ackles Family Staying At Home in ATX" storyline.  Now they are using JJ Ackles to interrupt an interview (this time with enabler Jewel) and thus give Jewel a reason to say the word "parents".



Jewel, who has Sean Penn in her "dating" history. You know, the same Sean Penn with the All-Star lineup of "girlfriends":

- Minka Kelly (SEE:  Jake Gyllenhaal) End of story.

- Charlize Theron (SEE: Brad Pitt, Alexander Skarsgaard, Ryan Reynolds, Jeremy Renner, Keanu Reeves and George Clooney)

- Scarlett Johannson (SEE: Ryan Reynolds, Jared Leto, Jude Law and Josh Hartnett)

Jewel also has one of those "are they or aren't they" with Jean-Claude Van Damme, he who has Kylie Minogue (who has Prince Albert, Chris Martin, Lenny Kravitz and Michael Hutchens) and not sure about Tatum O'Neal but why does she have Michael Jackson and Prince Albert in her dating history?  Kind of interesting.

Jewel was married to Ty Murray, a champion rodeo cowboy and co-founder of the Professional Bull Riders Association.  Ohhhhh yes, did you know that?  He's a nine-time World Champion and inductee in the Pro BullRider Hall of Fame.  He was huge in the sport. And that company was sold to, who?  WME/Endeavor.  Oh, yes.  

We're told by the LA Times that these two were married for six years,  but were really together for an additional ten years.  Jewel's huge statement on their separation referred to as a "thoughtful and tender undoing" is here in the LA Times and it is a DOOZY.

This would be anyone after reading that thoughtful and tender thesis, lol.




M&M, are you sure you didn't write that for her?  LOL!!! In fact, when I shared this story with ol' M&M she said, they must either share the same publicist or are using the same closeted playbook as Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin because their "breakup" was splashed across headlines as a "conscious uncoupling."  Some might view this kind of description as just more pretentious hogwash from  entertainment elites. But upon closer inspection, something else is going on behind the curtain. All one has to do is pay attention to established patterns of closeted celebrities.

Anyway....not sure what Jensen, Danneel, Jared (because he's just as much a part of this) and their team will come up with as a future encore, but let's hope they don't continue to enroll JJ into the Ava Witherspoon School of Hard Knocks.

lol.  I'm still reeling from Jewell's statement up there.  Okay, I think I've caught my breath. Let's move onto the Ugly, aka The Fake-eroni.
