2020 Winter/Spring Musings - Six Degrees With John Mayer and Shawn Mendes Pt 3 of 5



• In the "Credibility:  Liftgate Needed" Dept:

Did anyone see this post on Just Jared in January?


That's Miranda Lambert, ex-merkin, I mean "wife" of fellow country singer Blake Shelton, who is one half of Narnia's OTP, Shevine.  Looks like Brendan laughs in the face of hot grease splatters! Remember Mr. Lambert, #SafetyFirst
















 



And Lambert continued to use her "husband" to promote her music.
This next shirtless pic was to promote her laundry song "It All Comes Out in the Wash".



 And then this one, to promote the single "Way Too Pretty For Prison".  Guess maybe a good Christmas gift idea for Brendan next holiday season might be a set of eyes for the back of his head!  He seems to keep getting "caught" playing househusband without his clothes!  Here's the former NYPD Blue with his weed whacker.


Oh, and then there was promo for Lambert's release of "Wildcard". 

Hollywood "relationships" don't come any hinkier than Lambert and McLoughlin's.  Announced after the fact (Lambert says she "made it a point to keep it as private as I could for as long as I could" ), the alleged ceremony took place on a farm along with some horses.  No band mates, no close friends.  Lambert said, "I didn't have nobody.  That was mine and his moment."

 If a wedding takes place in a horse corral, is there anyone to hand over the ring?
















 

lol.  Just wondering!  And what about the story on how these two met?  Of course, Lambert's team had to share the story via all of the proper channels, i.e eonline, Just Jared, People, US Weekly, et al.

 Allegedly, in November 2018, Brendan was working security at a Good Morning, America episode that Lambert was appearing on.  Her band, the Pistol Annies, "spotted" him and according to Lambert, "plucked" him for her.  A security guard of hers named "Tom" had some input of his own.  "He's here.  And he's pretty."

And the rest, they say, is "history".  By late January, the two were "hitched" in their horse corral wedding and now the tabloids are spilling the details as Lambert fills in the blanks.  It seems as though Hollywood's couples these days don't have the patience or time to spend on coffee strolls and "dinner at Craig's" photo oped courtships, instead choosing to fly through Go, collect their $200 and jump straight to post-marital bliss and spending interviews talking about their secret "courtship" in the past tense.

Should be interesting to continue watching how this unlikely match maneuvers their way towards coming up with new shirtless ways to promote Lambert's next album release.  ;-)


•  Six Degrees Moment, aka Where Have I Been All This Time?

 Back in November, I was doing some early morning perusing through the ad and tracking-laden gossip site known as Just Jared, when a post about John Mayer caught my eye.  It was about him having something "reminiscent" to say about ol' Tay Swift. The post then goes on to shoehorn in a throwback to Mayer and Swift's "dating" in 2009 and her song "Dear John", which is supposed to be about him.  While this was an eyeroll of sizable proporations, it was the tweet about he and Shawn Mendes which caught my attention and proceeded to lead me on one of the most extended Six Degrees trips upon recollection.


 

Is this author the only one who didn't know the 42-year old John Mayer and Shawn Mendes had a history which dated so far back?  I knew there were DataLounge threads on them,  but never paid attention.  Well, now thanks to this Just Jared post, I had to do a bit of nosing around and...

Did you know that John Mayer's dating history includes?

• one of his earliest gf's is supposed to have been singer Vanessa Carlton, who has a musician named Stephen Jenkins in her history. Jenkins has a short history, but one of his past relationships is supposed to have been with Charlize Theron, whose history is a who's who:  George Clooney, Keanu Reeves, Brad Pitt, Jeremy Renner, Alexander Skarsgaard, Ryan Reynolds and Sean Penn. ;-)

•  Jennifer Love-Hewitt - I'm not sure about Love-Hewitt, but I eye spy Alec Baldwin, Wilmer Valderrama, Enrique Iglesias, and John Cusack....

 • Minka Kelly - see "Jake Gyllenhaal"

 • Jennifer Aniston - come on. And, see "Jake Gyllenhaal"

 • Tay Swift - see "Jake Gyllenhaal"

• Katy Perry (see Orlando Bloom)


 • and then there was Jessica Simpson.  And so that led me onto a search about the former partner of Nick Lachey.  And I guess I had just never realized the extent of her "dating" history.  Are you ready for this one?  Jared Leto.  Adam Levine.  And then there's Tony Romo. Did you know that Tony Romo was dating Carrie Underwood for awhile? They were even engaged?  There's another interesting name in Carrie Underwood's "dating" history --> Chace Crawford.  










Anywayyy...back to Jessica Simpson.  Guess who Jessica Simpson has in her dating history?  This triangle is a real doozy.

Jessica Simpson?  And Jensen?????   



Why yes, I'd say that's a heckuva smoking gun, Jensen.  

And then, and then...LeAnn Rimes?!  Here's Jensen and LeAnn Rimes at the American Music Awards in 1998:



 Interesting, interesting... And LeAnn Rimes has who in her dating history?  Tiger Woods.  (Raising an eyebrow at Andrew Keegan in her history as well.)  Married to Eddie Cibrien since 2011 when both became embroiled in a quite famous and scandalous affair while each were in another marriage.  Lots of musical chairs going on here, isn't there?


 And so we circle back to Mr. Mayer and Mr. Mendes, who it seems date back a few years (which is saying something, considering that Shawn Mendes barely turned 21 yrs old last August)


 Here's Post Malone hanging with Mayer and Mendes from 2018.



Hanging together in May of the same year:



John talking about Mendes' shoulders and physique....

























 



And not to go without returning the same sentiments, Mendes had this to gush, I mean to say about his good friend.


Aaah yes, the ol' "old man" line...  *wink*


2017...


2016...

That is quite a friendship history.  

 It also shows what a small, "incestuous" world the entertainment and sports industries are with their intertwining and intersecting "dating" histories.  Because some savvy fans and observers are catching onto this Bearding 101 Method of Operation, many publicist/marketing teams are hooking their clients up with lesser known models, business types (see Michelle Williams and Karli Kloss), blue collar professionals (see Miranda Lambert with her cop merkin), artists and chefs (see: Jake with 5-minute beard Katja Tausig).  


 By pairing their clients up with relative unknowns or those with little or no prior, publicized dating history, publicists likely know that makes it harder for suspicion of bearding/merkin'ing.  Welllll...for a few anyway.  Narnia sees what y'all are doin'.  ;-)

 "I'm big on French toast.  Always eat that at the teams' pregame meal."

I knew I had a good reason for liking French toast!!

Now stay tuned because tomorrow, we've got some catching up to do with Narnia faves, Jake and Austin.  ;-)

Saturday Musings - A Trade to BrewerTown, "Wedding" Bell Echos and a Kradam Pining?


via GIPHY

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.
As 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.
A post shared by Eric Hosmer (@hosmer305) on

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".


  

The next evening, in a very deja vu Kradam kind of way, Adam Lambert tweeted this:



"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'.


And yes, Adam, it is a beautiful song.

 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:


 

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?  


 

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?


http://dixonscarol.tumblr.com/post/133878490827/andrew-lincoln-in-heads-up-making-of
 

"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

                                        via Just Jared

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?

                                                              "no, you are, no, YOU are, no You are..."





Awwwww!!  I LOVE them!
