Monday Musings Pt 2: Annual Spring Rites, a Titanium Z Showing, and Other Kibbles

 


A few more additions, just for the fun of it!

 

• Even with the passage of time, some things don't change.

Am I right or am I right?  😍😍😍   I'm sorry, but that is just pretty darn cute.  The man is 41 going on 42 and will probably be a grandpa in under ten years (anyone willing to place bets???), for crying out loud.


• And his hubs Austin has briefly poked his head out a few times, showing off his 70's threads from his guest stint on HBO Max's The Minx.




 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On the water, his natural habitat:

 


 

• Is it possible a mearding stint is coming to a close?




• And time for what seems to be becoming a pre-training camp ritual, the "rumored ending" of the Travis Kelce / Kayla Nicole off-and-on, off-and-on whatever-it-is-they're-doing.  Please pardon Narnia for our 👀👀 but this seems to be a "convenient excuse" for Travis to garner some breathing space from Nicole during the off season and training camp.  Then as the season starts and the national cameras/TMZ begin to hyper-focus on stunt het stories, Nicole re-appears and "all is well" again.

So, pardon Narnia's skepticism.  😏



 

I mean, robot tweets from accounts with names like "Kliff's Bedroom"????  Come on.


• More than six years into the 1D Hiatus from Hell™, each one of the men have evolved in many laudable ways.  Perhaps it is because Harry is the youngest member of the group, but never has it been more apparent how much his overall presence has matured than when looking at a gif like this one from a recent interview with Zane Lowe. To quote, "Treat People with Kindness," Harry most definitely looks like he is "feeling good in my skin," doesn't he?

 


 

*sniff*   

 

• And speaking of 1D, look who was sighted today and had a nice, positive write-up on the Daily Fail!  (The Daily Fail is our friend today, yes, yes, believe it or not!)

Mr. Liam James Payne!  He was watching his horse named Titanium Z compete at the Royal Windsor Horse Show.  Here he is with the show jumper, Joe Stockdale.  Great to see Liam doing something fun and pertaining to him, not for the benefit of handler/manager Steve Finan O'Connor.  We also love the name of Liam's horse, Titanium Z.  Hmmm, Z for the mark of Zorro?   Or more like, Z for Zayn???  😍💕


 


 

• And how about some new and allowed Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane?

 

 

 

What smiles!  What nostalgia!   Let's hope that this wasn't a part of their Sushi Lunch™, I mean goodbye tour.  😭  Will be a story to watch in the off-season.  

 

 

• In sports social media, fans would call this an Old Friend Alert - 

Actress Michelle Williams is allegedly with child again, with "husband" Thomas Kail, collaborating best bud of Lin Manuel Miranda. 





 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hinkiness seems to have followed Michelle around ever since the days of "courtship" with former "beau", Jason Segal, dating back to 2012-13.  Supposedly, in 2020, she and Kail purchased a brownstone in NYC (sounds like another  "couple" we know, Maggie and Peter?).   This happened while they were still engaged.  During the pandemic, out of sight, her life took on several changes - an alleged wedding/ceremony of some sort and the birth of a baby boy.  

But with these life events of Williams', simple details have lacked disclosure and have been shrouded by vague wording.  The stories are sprinkled with "a source said", "reportedly", "rumored", "secretly", "private", "not yet divulged", etc. etc.  👀  Look at this excerpt from the Sun on Williams and Kail's alleged marriage:


"A source tells The Sun that there was a ceremony of sorts between the couple, who are both newly divorced, but they were uncertain if it was an official wedding." - The Sun, "Pregnant Michelle Williams Marries Hamilton Director Tommy Kail After Couple Purchases $10.8M Townhouse", March 23, 2020.


😄 smh.  When it came time after Baby No. 2 was born, the gender wasn't even revealed.  Poor Baby Kail was just "baby".  Later, it was revealed, the child was a boy. 

And this latest story about actor Jeremy Strong moving in with Michelle after Heath died to help raise Matilda?  Anyone else remember reading of this story before?  Yeah, we don't either.  😉

 


 

I thought Jake helped raise Matilda?  😉  And he was the godfather, along with Williams' best girlfriend Busy Phillips being the godmother.


When Ledger passed away, Gyllenhaal stepped in to help Williams care for Matilda, who was only three years old at the time. - "The Truth About Jake Gyllenhaal's Friendship With Heath Ledger", The List, August 11, 2021.

 

When Heath tragically passed away in 2008, Jake stepped in to help Michelle care for Matilda, who was just 3 years old at the time.  - "The 1 Special Connection Jake Gyllenhaal Still Shares With Heath Ledger", Pop Sugar, January 23, 2018.


Since Heath's death, Matilda Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal have developed a close bond after he stepped up to help Williams care for Matilda. - "Matilda Ledger is 15 Now - What is Known About Heath Ledger's Only Daughter", Amomama, December 03, 2020.

 

 

Wow, Jake helping to raise Matilda (even though we never, ever saw Jake with her - but is it possible that's the sign that he is more involved in the life of Matilda than what is let on?).  

Now we're told it's Jeremy Strong and that he even moved in to help, along with Michelle's sister and "her friend"!  

 

The “Succession” actor, Williams said, moved into her home following the tragedy to accompany her, her friend and her sister. Strong would play games and went as far as acting as a “pony” for Ledger’s daughter, Matilda, Variety reported. - Huffington Post, May 13, 2022

 

Jake...Jeremy....Jake...Jeremy...

Perhaps it was a tag teaming of sorts.  😵

Odd, isn't it?  Why is this story coming out now when it was never mentioned before about Strong having helped to raise Matilda after Heath had passed away?  But story after story emphasized how Jake was the godfather?

Is this back-story?  Now Michelle Williams has a new home, expanded, growing family and new public life in New York City.  That's a pretty convenient location for anyone who may frequent the UK, isn't it?  In the past several years, both Williams and Kail have had work projects taking place in London (as has Lin Manuel Miranda as well!).  I imagine it comes in very handy for Jake and Austin.  The alleged east coast dwelling of Maggie also convenient if she were to quietly hop across the pond for a spell.  

Did you know that Busy Phillips has also moved to New York?  

There was an initial temporary move in the late summer/fall of 2020 which would later become permanent by January 2021.  Here came the "official" proclamation that she and "husband" Marc Silverstein had sold their southern Cali digs and moved to the Hudson Valley.  

Imagine that!  Jake's good friend Busy is now close to and in New York City!  And so is his longtime former co-star and close friend, Michelle and god-daughter Matilda!  

Why, that means the gang's all there!!

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or they're "all there", but...more often in the UK, where there is a lot of countryside and ability to live in more obscurity.  Perhaps in an ever-expanding in "all kinds of ways" Gyllynicholsgaard cul-de-sac obscurity...   And perhaps Austin's relatives' furniture company has been commissioned to make a big-ass farmers table to hold all of these folks at holiday time?   Hey, we're just contemplating here...


😉 😁


Okay, well, that's all we have for now.  Hope everyone's still got their stomach after Part 1 and is ready to tackle the rest of this work week.
