Congratulations on making it to Friday! Hopefully your work week ends right here and doesn't extend into Saturday. Time for some relaxation or yard work, getting ready for spring growth. And to go along with that #FridayFeeling, there are some good things happening with a few of Narnia's faves. Let's enjoy sightings or news from them:
• Liam is in Los Angeles, attending one of the events surrounding Oscar week as a co-host along with Paul Wesley, Uma Thurman, Sean O'Sullivan, Questlove, and Christian Angermayer for an event called Taste the Future. The event will feature a menu by chef, author and restaurateur Matthew Kenney, who specializes in plant-based foods. So Liam had an opportunity to schmooze, network and have some fun meeting new folks during Oscar week. Good for Liam and he was looking great!
Always the consummate pro and enthusiast!
Liam Payne 🛐

There can never be enough Liam love. We see the micro-handling he's still under and being unable to release new music. But Liam's not a public pouter and whatever he does, he is a professional and he gives a tremendous, enthusiastic effort. It can't have been easy for him, but Narnia is just here to support and say that we think that he is an incredible person for the way he's been handling it.
And a chance to hang at Oscars week?! That is awesome. Now, here is another honor for Liam.
He is going to serve as captain for the England team in Soccer Aid 2022, which benefits a tremendous organization, UNICEF UK. The charity celebrity match will take place on June 12 at London Stadium and there is some additional information here.
Here's Liam:
He's here and he's perfect 💙 @LiamPayne, skipper. ©️

And if THAT's not enough, here's Liam with a soccer uni preview!
Here's that Liam smile that will charm the socks off of the crustiest being:
The reaction is unanimous and automatic.
Take a bow, Captain Liam! That's CAPTAIN Liam to all of us. And good luck in the soccer match!
• And Jake Gyllenhaal is hard at work (as he always goes all out for his movie promos!) overseas, promoting his upcoming film Ambulance. They have spent a lot of money advertising it for sure, particularly during the Super Bowl and Olympics. It's an action flick so for all of you action lovers, there you go! 😀 Jake's been sporting all kinds of different looks and he and his castmates/director have been to Paris, France, Berlin, London and Madrid this week.
The Gyllynichols wagon train may be on the barge by now headed over to the States as Jake is scheduled to be a presenter on Sunday at the Oscars and will then be promoting the film here in the States due to its release on April 8.
We'll enjoy all of the promo and photos (and there has been a TON of content) from across the pond because once this weekend comes and they hit the American male demographic, things will likely change in some fashion and not for the better.
But this is Good News Friday! so let's start off the slide show with Jake in a bird shirt! Nice to see Jake pick up this vintage shout out pattern he used to have, as a nod to Austin, who has loved birds and back in 2009, told Hilarie Burton that the (sea) gull was his "power animal".
Real quick, let's look at a few vintage bird looks from Fetus Jake:
And now here's Jake in 2022 in Prada bird mode:

It counts! Add that one to the exhibition. 💯
Jake has sported a variety of looks for the promo tour. This pose below is one of my favorites, I think, I've seen from him. He's got that scolding finger down, doesn't he? LOL!

I still don't think you can beat Jake in the classic suit.

Best wishes to Jake for box office success with his new film!!
• And we're going to end on an even more happier, positive note. We have new music from Austin P. McKenzie!! This is an easy, melodic tune, although the lyrics are of wanting to whisk someone away to happiness, so a bit sad in lyrics. But again, it is directed by Kevin McHale and I love the filming at the ocean, the slow-mo, the playfulness and most of all, a glimpse of that gorgeous smile he has. That was so wonderful to see. Lilting melody and imagery. You can see Austin's appreciation and love of theater.
Well done!! "Sending My Love Through the Ether" by Austin P. McKenzie, everyone!!
Have a great weekend, everyone! We're out.

"The event will feature a menu" = The event featured.
I'm not editing the post because this embedding of tweets involves working with HTML codes and I swear to pete, if I were to correct it, and it messed up my embed codes for the two video tweets, I would probably smack myself silly, lol.
So anyway. Sorry for that grammatical incorrect use of future tense and it should have been past tense. And then I used past tense in the next sentence. Just an editing error by moi.
I think Eiza might be the most beautiful gal that Jake has co-starred with. But why on earth she has now dyed her hair a Lureen Newsome-like platinum blond is beyond my comprehension unless it's maybe for a project she's now working on or going to work on.
She's gorgeous! And she had that great brunette hair and she did that. I was like oh nooooo. Why on earth.
