It's Fall Harvest time and it sure looks like there are folks in Hollywood and in the sports world laying down some prep work for their new crops of activity. Lots to do, lots to do! Narnia jumped on our sightseeing tractor and decided to take a ride around.
Here's a few sights that caught our attention:
• After Adam Levine's final appearance on The Voice in May 2019, he has not been in the Hollywood news much, although his group Maroon 5 did release their album Jordi in June of 2021 and the group toured the album throughout the summer. They are going to be serving a residency at the Park MGM in Las Vegas from March 24, 2023 to August 12. In the meantime, leading up to this announcement, these noticeable (and high profile twitter trend) events have taken place:
• Sep. 06 2022 - Just Jared reveals that Adam and beard Behati Prinsloo have announced they are "expecting" again:
• Barely two weeks later, Adam is trending on Twitter for several days due to a "cheating" scandal with an Instagram influencer named Sumner Stroh. Supposedly she had text message "receipts" of him asking her if she minded if he and Prinsloo named their upcoming baby after her. The story was absolutely ludicrous, yet so many people lapping up the garish tale like Mike and Ike's out of the box. Tabloidish headlines and Just Jared post updates followed the fiction like a soap opera. Suddenly, there were additional accusations to pad his het history.
Five individuals thus far...
• September 27 - Maroon 5 announces a residency in Las Vegas in the spring of 2023.
That is one short, super-scripted and predictable timeline. By predictable, I mean that when you saw the baby announcement followed by a high-profile cheating scandal, you knew that something else was coming - a new project of some variation.
What's disappointing about this route being taken is that Adam's representation comes from where? His own production company and Irving Azoff.

So, Adam is part of his own team. This "cheating scandal" comes from one of his team's barnstorm meetings.
The residency and "scandal" has provided an excuse for alleged outings with the "expectant" beard.
Here's Adam going through his long-time friend Jake Gyllenhaal's "Southpaw" phase:
Yes, this is the same guy! Quite the study in contrast, don't you think? Or should we say image overhaul.

Same guy.
It just makes one wonder why the heavy-handedness with the hetero push, right?
And so as usual, we will continue to watch for further developments to see what is really happening behind the scenes. 🔎🔎 😉

Two other individuals that Narnia has our eyes on are, as always, Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles. It can be noted that their team is still in the midst of graaaaaaadually un-joining their public attachment to one another. The process has been going on already for a couple of years and it's like watching syrup pour on pancakes, right?
But these things take time, especially since Jared and Jensen were always known to be very close and are still headlining fan conventions periodically, so 1) they still need Gold & Silver packages sold and 2) want to attract fans to their individual television shows and projects. So it's a precarious tightrope they are walking.
But Mgmnt has gradually been separating them on the Saturday evenings of their convention weekends, which previously used to find them together strolling the streets of whichever city they were in. Now, either man is caught up in "filming" obligations so they're supposedly coming into town at the last minute and separately.
Mgmnt has also been involving both men with their own new group of co-star friendship circles or promotion work with their prequel projects.
And once in awhile, they have to feed Hellers with a Milkbone or two, to keep their money coming in for conventions or for purchasing merchandise.
Orchestrated and scripted theatrics that were way over analyzed by fans, but served their purpose, Narnia reckons. Which is all their teams cares about.
All we can do here at Narnia is bypass dropping any coins into their hats. 😉 😄 smh.
I can say that the guys were in my hometown city (sort of - I'm in the burbs of) of Kansas City!! I enjoyed their chatter in the Gold Panel about the great BBQ debate of whose is better - Texas or Kansas City's? Of course it's Kansas City's, come on, fellas! 😀 And the Gold Panel even contained a beanie-less Jared, how about those apples? Both guys looked great and I hope they enjoyed their stay. Here is the notorious, ever present beanie just in case some are unfamiliar with his obsessive attachment, come rain, or come shine. Indoors or out.

Jared at the hotel of KC Con 2022 - walker-290

Of course, there always has to be something that doesn't make any sense and the Kansas City Con was no exception.
Here's Jared managing to make the trip to nearby Lawrence, Kansas (where the family home of Sam and Dean Winchester's parents is located, according to their origin story), but who does he take the photo with? Glorified "bodyguard" Cliffie Kosterman. Makes total sense, right? smh (Jensen's probably cropped out, standing on the other side of Jared 😉)
While we're here and having to look at Kosterman, let's remember what he really is not and that's a bodyguard. Here Kosterman was, holding the door for Jensen and Jared at DC Con this year,
while the real bodyguard brought up the security caboose in the J2 train...
Uh huh! This shows all we need to know about Kosterman's chaperone stunt role in Jared and Jensen's narrative. It's always been a snow job, but the real bodyguard bringing up the rear really finished driving that nail home.
🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
And while we're on the topic of Jared, on Thursday, we saw the latest episode of Walker air, one which Austin Nichols directed, (Third Season, Episode Two). It was another episode like previous Supernatural shows in which writers and directors seem to get off on physically abusing Jared and Jensen. Maybe some lightweight BDSM?
During the airing of the show, Austin talked live on Instagram with several of the actors from Walker. But not Jared. LOL! No, Mgmnt was afraid there would be too much gay innuendo flying around so they made sure Jared had an "event" to attend to.

Narnia is here to point out Petty Management! 😂

Who saw that coming? 😉 I do believe the sun came up the next morning, so that's what is important. 🌄 We're just thankful for rare Austy content!! [Who keeps trying to look a bit deranged these days, but as always, we find him looking as handsome as a deranged man can look. 😉] Jakers is one lucky guy! There are too many photos and tweets to post, but we have a few.
Oh, look! Here they are!! Working together!
In the same frame! Yes, I know, Jared is standing behind Austin and in the last photo, yes, I know, we can't really see Austin's face at all... 😕
Aw, darn it all, gee whiz!! Eye contact, but we can't hardly see Austin's face. Then, we can see Austin's face, but no eye contact.
Austin tags Jared! And we see Jared's hands! But not the rest of him.
And then....and then....lo and behold....
Oh noooooooo, perfectly posed, both facing the camera, arms around each other in working friendship, and then...the camera person moved. Or the camera did.
Wellllll, nice try, guys! We appreciate all the efforts and we're just going to hope that someday, some way...it can still happen! Because you two are just the work-friend train that can!! Yes, you can! Narnia knows you can. Some day over the rainbow perhaps.
Indeed. Indeed. But we got many more photos of Austin with everyone else! So thank you to Walker, Jared, the Walker cast and Walker's official twitter account for helping us out here. More Austin content to come later because he's been a little busy all of a sudden! 😍😍😍
🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
I know there has been much more happening with our faves, but alas, this post must end. But not before we offer our annual Happy Birthday wishes to who?
To the legendary Baby Tile, Number 1 Son who turns fifteen (15) years old on October 17, 2022.
And while Narnia thought that we were past his parents' GPS shenanigans during his birthday week, they seemed to be feeling nostalgic this year and have tried some ol' Gyllynichols Flim Flam to try and steer our attention away from the annual celebration! I think we know better, fellas. But thanks for the grins!
Papa Jake is trying to tell us that he is still in the Dominican Republic filming Roadhouse even though the location shoot seems a bit protracted since its August "leaks" from the set. Out of the blue, we have new cast photos. Here's the scamp suddenly wanting to be seen!

"in the Dominican Republic today"

"in the Dominican Republic today". Got it! And then, there's Austin - he's supposed to be in Austin, TX at the Austin City Limits music festival.
And in case it wasn't totally clear that Austin was really there in the flesh with the ladies, well, they tweeted again.
Aaah yes, "thanks for chatting with xx and I today at ACL." Jake supposedly in the Dominican Republic...Austin in Austin, TX...just before Baby Tile's birthday. Again, think we've got it, fellas!
You know, it's been a little while since I took the Little Tyke car for a spin.
lol! Thanks for the scenic ride, guys. 😄
Just some Narnia humor. Let's have a couple of throwback memories...

See you soon! And have a good week at the ol' salt mines. 😊
