Sunday Musings: Liam and Mayo - What a Stretch, Jake and Austin Have a Tenner

LOL!  "My Flintstone vitamin".  Hope everyone is taking their vitamins and getting in some cardiovascular work to help keep our immune systems in good fighting shape!  That gif is a crack up.

Well, this is a very special time because why?  Because it's a period which Narnia firmly believes the arrival of one of Jake and Austin's kids took place ten years ago in August of 2010.  The clues cover a lengthy span, (about 9 months worth!) and are extensive.  We won't repeat the story, but you can read about it in Day 17: Leadville Lovin' in our Masterpost: 30 Days of Toothy Tile, Grey Goose, and the Baby Tiles.  

Looking back at Oh My Godot blogspot in the time frame of August 8-9-10, it's very interesting to see that several distractions were going on.  Jake was being seen at the farmers market in Los Angeles and was also in an X17 video at II Ristorante di Giorgio Baldi Italian restaurant, being asked about Proposition 8, from which his comment prompted perplexed reactions from OMG'ers.  Meanwhile, new/old pictures of Austin and his beard Sophia Bush were circulating about; where Austin was allegedly looking like he was feeling the "effects" of what were likely nuptial beverages.

And there was also much blog discussion on how "rough" Jake looked, accompanied by a couple of days of heavy trolling.  So now in retrospect, it was all no doubt a lot of look-over-here, not-over-there nonsense going on, trying to make Jake look "miserable", living his own life in LA "away" from Austin and Austin "drinking and cavorting around" at weddings when he wasn't working on the set of One Tree Hill.  There was also the prospect of Austin and Sophia appearing at those incredibly hinky "Breakthrough Awards", an appearance which ended up not happening at all.  Not to mention Austin's parents allegedly paying a visit to Wilmington, NC and being seen on set.  The elves were at work everywhere.

Meanwhile, Mr. Austy was tweeting this on August 9.  We have to show the blurb within the context of the blog comments because well, his AUS10 twitter account is no longer available for reference (i.e. torpedoed).  Get a load of this tweet, though:

And then look at someone's comment right afterwards.  LOL!! Oh, that person had no idea at the time how close they were to the whole situation that was really going on, did they?

• Was someone craving ice cream but couldn't go out themselves to go get it, i.e. Jake?

• Or was Austin just in that mood leading up to the arrival of a baby 🠆 in a state of anticipation? Wanting the baby to arrive?  Notice the phrase "pacing the room".  Being an English major and creative writer, Austin would know how to metaphorically speak within 140 characters.

It would be about a week and a half later that what became known as simply "Leadville" happened, where Jake and Austin looked to be spending some celebratory "we" time, under the hokey guise of Jake and ex-bro-in-law Peter Sarsgaard doing research for a movie, one which never came to fruition (what a surprise!).

 

A mere week later would come the mysterious pictures of Jake looking like a rumpled mountain man, tucked away at a "friend's cabin",

 

Happy Birthday, Baby Tile, Baby Hugo.  Ten years old.   Jake and Austin have a tenner!  Another Tile in double digits.

👉👉👉👉👉👉👉👉👉👉

And so since this is a birthday time period, it's expected that we began to suddenly see Jake and Austin this past week, when they've both been holed up out of sight since who knows when.   Here's Jake promoting his godmother's new book and making an exaggerated face.

And then Austin needed to be placed in Los Angeles.  Here he is helping with food distribution at South Park Elementary in Los Angeles, an event taking place August 7:

There he is!

Kudos to Austin for helping to hand out the mesh bags of fruit! Kind of interesting that the announcement about the food handout for Congressional District 9 on Curren D. Price's website stated "CD Families will receive a box loaded with FREE protein, fruits and vegetables and other necessities, including masks".  And kind of interesting Austin wasn't wearing one of those team Tshirts...

Nonetheless!  Click Here for the link to Austin's Instagram post and you can see him in all his ever-lean glory. 😉

Great to see Mr. Austin, even though....we didn't see you anywhere in these pics...  always gotta keep one eye at all times on these guys, lol, I'm just sayin'!

 

👉👉👉👉👉👉👉👉👉👉

 

And we saw another Do-Gooder this past week.  Liam Payne was seen on websites, allegedly having an evening out with Mayo "Maya" Henry.  It was time for more awkward hand manips, I mean, hand-holding for the two.

The cleaner-shaven look by Liam was noticeable and seems to be time-stamped by what?  By Liam's recent, very nice video where he talked about his LP Show.  We loved seeing Liam and knowing that even he enjoyed his show.  😊

Is he a sweetie or what?  But notice that he had really trimmed back the beard growth and this is what helped to time-stamp the pictures of him allegedly with Mayo just a "day later".  Now, what was this about though?

Those are some awfully long, stretchy legs on Liam, aren't they?  

This is important:  Both Liam and Mayo are listed as 5'9", she as officially noted from the Elite Model Management site. They're both wearing about the same height of shoe heel drop, so why is Liam noticeably taller than Mayo?  

Not to mention this bit of a mash up with the hands:

Full length, courtesy of the Daily Fail's ad for her outfit:

Narnia doesn't hyper focus as much on these kinds of "off kilter" photos as we used to because as many know, this kind of manipulation does occur.  And we certainly know that photo shopping has been done with Jake, Austin, Jared and Jensen. It's happened with Louis as well, right?  But sometimes, it does bear (ha! sorry for the pun) hyper-focusing upon because we need to ask why do you have to photo shop if two people are really supposed to be together in a certain place at a certain time?  It's because they weren't.  End of story.

This is not Liam's doing at all.  This is his image being misrepresented - huge difference.  And that's a mess of a photo shop.  As M&M said - "really sloppy".

Narnia fully supports Liam who deserves so much better representation than this.

👉👉👉👉👉👉👉👉👉

This was an interesting incident with Niall, whose twitter account had some nice exchanges with fans, but it looks like this one bothered him:

I'm not even quite sure what the fan was trying to say, but it was interesting that his account chose to call the tweet out and prompted other tweeters to "pile on".   This, along with other tweet exchanges was followed by an article scolding fans and published by who?  Capital FM.  👀👀

While Niall's twitter made a valid point, the tweet that started it all was pablum compared to a lot of tweets sent to celebrities.  It's just rather interesting.  And the quote of "just say anything they want" is a frequent mantra of past trolls and interns on Oh My Godot and also Spn Gossip. In any case, it's clearly a warning.  Remember "bodyguard" Clif Kosterman's long-ass rant against fans/commenters of Jared and Jensen, and their public "wives"?

The question is, was it a warning intended to extend to fan reactions to other One Direction band members' activities?  Was it in anticipation of future activities concerning Niall?  It remains to be seen. 

👉👉👉👉👉👉👉👉👉

 

Narnia has a lightning bolt to celebrate, I mean - er - make mention of a certain someone's splitsville.  😏  One of our honorary faves, Mr. Travis Kelce seems to have made the pages of TMZ again, and tell me it ain't so - People.com???  People Magazine?  Kansas City Chief tight end?

First, it was the set up via TMZ and Instagram:

 

Suddenly, the general public are all-aghast and concerned with the alleged love life of a Kansas City Chiefs player, filling his twitter timeline with hand wringing and lip chewing.  And then a few days later, the "confirmation".

The only question that remains is if this lightning bolt will "stick", or if there will be the ever-possible reunion, perhaps post-season or whatever opportune time may present itself.  Public relation teams who use People and TMZ such as Travis' team seems to be doing with noticeable frequency, regarding more of the personal lives than their performance on the fields, should give us cause to pause.

On the other hand, we ain't complainin'!!  Maybe Travis can breathe for a bit from the tabloid fodder and concentrate on his play.  Here's hoping we will still get some wonderful shots of Travis arriving for his games.  Who will ever forget this awesome outfit?  Travis gives the color chartreuse a whole different POP, doesn't he?  Narnia wishes Travis a healthy and prosperous season, however it goes.

👉👉👉👉👉👉👉👉👉

And guess what is happening today?  

There they are - straight outta wherever they've both been quarantining together with the fam.  Will we likely be fed stories on how they're "quarantining separately" during their stay in Vancouver while filming the final two episodes of Supernatural?  The verbal machinations and separate narratives taking place on Spn Goss predictably opened up a large thread discussion.  Zoom interviews seem to provide an opportunity for over-analyzations of alleged apartment rooms and their furnishings and architectural make-up, which are used to "prove" where each gentleman is spending their quarantine time and totally buy into the validity of what videos are telling the public.

And from what I read, the Canadians are very strict about the quarantine. Also, I don't see either of J2 risking halting the entire production of the show (which would mean a lot of money loss for the studio), just because they couldn't wait those 2-weeks they have to be apart, most likely by their own choice, because they decided to not quarantine together. It wouldn't be pretty, especially if they don't want to damage their reputation in the industry. - comment

Please bring your own spoon for that kind of feeding.

Nonetheless, it's all to be expected and hopefully, some kind fans (and not plants) will share some of what they were able to share with Jared and Jensen.   It will indeed be terrific to see them interacting together.

👉👉👉👉👉👉👉👉👉

In the department of Who-Saw-This-Coming, lol, I can't help but share the news of this are-they-or-aren't-they May-September "pairing".

Now, come on.  Of course, now there are the prepared tabloid denials after these photos "leaked".  "They are friends and have been forever"!  "No truth to the rumors!"  And even if there is "No truth!", the pictures have been released, the rumors and speculation published, and there you go.  For a publicist, that is a big enough floatie to provide a summer of cover, right?  Aaaah yeah...😉

👉👉👉👉👉👉👉👉👉

Let's wrap this up with one more new pic of Jakers that appeared this past week (Distraction! Distraction!).  Here's Fetus Jake in an old childhood pic plucked from the Gyllyhaal Kodak Files, a rare moment which Narnia extends a (frankly) begrudging thanks to Mama Naomi.  LOL!

AWWWW, there he is!  Look at Jakers, the little scamp.  Shoelaces untied, tears in the knees of his jeans, performing as usual.  His parents no doubt had their hands full with this guy, didn't they?

 

Happy Sunday, everyone!  Make it a good one today.  Get much needed rest before the week ahead.

De-Bunking Buckin

Watching Jake Gyllenhaal and Austin Nichols carry out Endeavor's master plan of minimalizing the former John From Cincinnati star Nichols through their publicist team, has been like staring at the bus below:

and hearing "Thy Name is Austin."

It has been that kind of year.  In mid-March, we looked at a wild attempt by an intern to spread the word that Austin was married to Liev Schrieber in real life and that Liev's two boys belonged to both he and Austin.   Phew!  Remember that one? 

Well, did you know that Austin must be a heckuva Don Juan when it comes to his former co-stars because now he's supposed to have also been involved in a serious fling with none other than...Roberto! Roberto "Rob" Buckley.  Remember him?  Clay from One Tree Hill.  See if this picture from February, 2011 jogs your memory.

Ha! It's not what's in your wallet, but what's in yer pants!      

                                                                                      

Well, if we at Narnia had long ago tossed "Buckin" away into the compost bin, then it would seem a good bet that ten years later, the rest of the human population would have, as well.  Except for this account that "sprang" up out of nowhere into Austin's twitter search about a week and a half ago.

And then the tweeting party dropped this "bombshell":

They weren't done yet. They had some extra "inside info" on our Jakers:

Uh huh.  As usual, Management never knows when to stop and so here came the Stalker Intern butting in, a surefire deal sealer on this twitter conversation falling under the category of "social media Masterpiece Theater":

And then one more log thrown on that "Jake is not worthy" fire:

Let's see.  So Jake is "pretty ordinary".  A "problem child".  "Average".  "A burden".  Had a "traumatic childhood".  Has "psychological problems".  Looks like the Gyllynichols PR Team thought there was enough tread on the bus tires to run over Jake a few more times too. You know, just for the heck of it and because they can.

And then on the evening of April 22, another online account thought they would pay me a visit and try to sell the "childhood trauma" story as well:

Fortunately, my apartment complex has a 24/7 dumpster and that load of you-know-what has already been dropped off into it.  *wink*

But, back to the Austin and Roberto "romance".  Thanks to HelenClarke58, he/she stirred this author's memory, back to that time when there was indeed that fleeting ship known as "Buckin".  And fueling that ship was a glorious video aired on E! Online during one of their "Top 10" television episodes, enhanced with hugging, flirting, and Roberto telling Austin that he had made him a PB and J sandwich just the way he liked it, with the crusts removed.  Alas, the video is no longer available online, but these photos are from that interview:

and a bit of ha-ha-ha:

Austin and Roberto in a hot tub? Hmm. You don't say??? Pretty risque stuff!! And so, this whole "twitter convo" with some kinda shady characters caused M&M to sidle up with a rocking chair so we could "reminisce" about this "Buckin" golden memory!  And, in doing so, this misstep by Management, incredibly adept at overplaying their hand, set the stage for a combing over and through to snap out a few "tangles", otherwise known as logistical mess-ups.  And what we discovered during this collaborative throwback, was that had some of us really been paying attention at the time, we would have seen that the whole "Buckin" narrative didn't quite add up.

First, let's look at this time frame and a few events that were happening just prior to the unveiling of the "Buckin" video, which aired on September 9, 2009.  I think Jaustin old-timers will find this pretty interesting.

• Jake and Reese Witherspoon were deep in the throes of their beard/merkin contract since debuting the coupling in Rome, Italy on October 23, 2007.  Jake had been to Martha's Vineyard in August 2009 but, by September, both he and Reese were back in southern Cali.

                                                                            Jake on Martha's Vineyard Aug 7, 2009

                                                                                     Jake and Reese in Venice CA Aug 30 2009

• September 1, Austin and One Tree Hill co-star Sophia Bush sent tongues to wagging on Oh My Godot (OMG) over whether or not they were getting serious about bearding with this "date night" photo op at Madeo in Beverly Hills.  Austin is also wearing his ring (dubbed Big Blue), which was believed to come from the Dominican Republic due to the unique Larimar stone. Tortuga Bay resort is in the DR where we believe he and Jake shared a romantic getaway in 2005.  

Just looking at their ridiculously matching outfits was a huge clue that a fauxmance was taking shape before our eyes.

• September 2, the famous toddler footprint was spotted on Jake's shorts in pictures from a visit to the Beverly Hills Medical Building.  OMG administrator Special K noticed the footprint right away.  Zooming and enlarging ensued, in addition to lots of speculative conversation on the blog.

                                                                                         Enlarge and look at Jake's right thigh

• Friday, September 4,  in what would soon look like a botched photo op, Jake and Reese were photo'd by the pap site Flynet at Twist in LA, buying frozen yogurt with her children, Ava and Deacon. The pictures were actually from Sept. 3, but didn't appear on Flynet.com until September 4.    [It's important to know that this was the beginning of Labor Day weekend]

By Monday the 7th, new promo pictures for the upcoming season of One Tree Hill are released, of which Austin is a part of, as well as Robert Buckley.

• Tuesday, Sept 8   Ted Casablanca has an interesting Awful Truth question/ask, which we will come back to later:

In this post from Oh My Godot on Sept 8, called PoPing Under Pressure?,  at 04:38 am on Sept 9, someone posts what is supposed to be a tweet placing Sophia Bush at LAX.  But another person corrects the record and indicates that the pictures are old and actually from July 2008. 

The poster of the "Sophia at LAX" alleged tweet is called out for posting old photos and the thread deteriorates into deleted comments containing explicit profanity, a big clue that someone is none too happy about being correctly called out. The thread is quite interesting in watching how spoon feeding, misdirection and confusion can be purposely inserting into any blog discussion while trying to geographically place an OTP far apart from each other.

• Wed, Sept 10  Several observations about the photos caused posters to believe Jake arrived separately at Twist and met Reese there because someone(s) else was with him, thus Jake carrying extra cups of yogurt while Witherspoon and children were carrying their own.  We now realize that the whole set of photos are not on IHJ and several others were deleted from the internet.

Again, there was much discussion when one commenter suddenly observed that the car Jake was walking towards looked like his black Camry.  Since other pictures showed Reese with her car keys in hand and her car shown as well, the realization that Jake had driven separately fueled the idea that combined with the number of yogurts Jake had, Austin and family were most likely in the Camry.   Also important to note the pictures were from Thursday the 3rd, but not posted on Flynet.com until Friday the 4th, thus intended to carryover for discussion and "absorption" the entire Labor Day weekend.  By the time the pictures are posted on go-to site IHeartJake, the multitude of pictures were mysteriously reduced to only six.

Now let's step back to the Ted Casablanca Awful Truth Ask about Robert and Austin as "Buckin".  It is interesting to note that tweeter HelenClarke58 had said "There were lots of rumors and speculation at the time".  I had replied from my other twitter account @blastobutter when I saw that proclamation, and disagreed. While we had some fun on OMG with the whole idea of Buckin, note Ted's response to the AT Ask under the name "Dear Buckin Stops Here".  In other words, he hosed down that fire before it even started.  So where were all the "lots of rumors and speculation"?

Welllllll....dating back to September 1, Ted Casablanca had several "Ask's" from posters about Robert Buckley and Austin.  Take this one for example, posted 9/01 on Waiting for Toothy2, followed by an observation by an anon:

Ted said...

Dear Awful Truth:
I have a suggestion to properly name the Austin Nichols/Robert Buckley bromance. Robstin gets too confused with Robsten, so how about renaming them Robin? If we are going to hear a lot about this hot pair, then we'll have to have them properly identified. Is Sophia Bush Shafterella Shoshstein?
—Celine
Dear Done With One:
To be honest, I don't anticipate us ever talking about Austin/Rob again beyond a Bitch-Back or two—fellas just don't have much of a gossip-worthy shelf life, methinks. And no, Soph isn't nearly on the same level of stardom as S2, but she is just as sweet looking.

^Again, ted is implying there is something going on between Austin/Robert. There are too many mentions to say they are just hints. He's been mentioning them daily for weeks.

I'm still not convinced, so far I'm only sure about Austin and Robert are gay hints.

^I think Ted is not just hinting they are gay. He always put them together as a pair with a joint name and disguise it as a "bromance".He is hinting they are are involved.

September 01, 2009  10:00 am  


And the next day on 9/02, someone brings up Robert and Austin again:

Austin/Sophia matching outfits:
Could this be a big F*CK YOU from Austin to the neglecting Jake???...

oh,my...and when I was starting to think the Toothy saga had nothing else to give us!! ;)

^Robert is Austin's big f*ck you to Jake ;)

September 02, 2009  6:08 pm 

And again on Sept. 4th.

Then on September 5, a question is posted by Ted Casablanca about "Toothy Tile," and the very first comment brings up Robert Buckley.

Anonymous said...

Dear Ted:
Why is Jake Gyllenhaal looking so bad and angry lately? He looks as if he is sad about something or feeling jealous.
—Robbie

Dear Duh:
Yeah, it's this thing called a career.

 

I think this might be another hint to Austin/Robert. The question talks about Jake feeling sad and jealous. It's too much of a coincidence it's signed by a "Robbie" (Robert) and Ted replies with a "Dear Duh". Robert's official twitter is named @robbuckleyduh. It's been deleted, but you can still see it listed on the CW site and linked on the official one tree hill twitter.

A conversation ensues on whether or not Jake is threatened by Robert, and if Jake finally pushed Austin too far with his bearding. Were Austin and Jake finally done-zo, etc. etc.? 

Then on September 8, came the ask to Ted about "Buckin", where he indicated that there was nothing going on between Austin and Robert. 

One day later, on September 9, here came the infamous "Buckin" video, with Austin and Roberto openly "flirting" and carrying on for the world to see, particularly Jaustin fans. Because Jake and Austin fans, no doubt, were the primary audience that video was most likely intended for.   Once the deed was done, however, and the seeds of doubt planted, the video was scrubbed away, never to be visible again.  Ironically, much too gay apparently.  After, revisiting this timeline ten years later, clearly there has never a better time for our man, Frank Drebin:

So many orchestrated visuals, planted rumors and Ted Asks. So many "comments" and "observations" simply to try and plant the seeds known as "Buckin". And yes, "lots of rumors and speculation" where?  Originating and mostly planted into minds on one site - Waiting for Toothy2! Most likely by its intern in residence.  And the whole concept of "Buckin" just another example of anyone, but Jake.

Let's return to the yogurt pictures of Jake, Reese and the children which were not actually released until Friday the 4th in order to carry over for Labor Day weekend.  At the same time, Austin and Sophia were attempted to be placed at the U.S. Open over the weekend in N.Y.C.  In other words, heavy-handed though it was, "Buckin" was simultaneously seeded and planted to try and convince Jaustin fans that Austin was cheating on Jake.  

This tactic of trying to pair either Jake or Austin with another co-star, peer, or director in order to indicate their relationship was done-zo was and still is one that would be repeated over and over to this very day.  Yet somehow, without much effort, the folks of Oh My Godot and Narnia Dispatches blogspots continue to find constant re-enforcing evidence that this is far from the truth.  

 Let's leave everyone with this shiny gold nugget (more like a boulder) that was discovered in a Crazy Days and Nights Blind, but was linked in a Data Lounge discussion thread.  Because no matter how many years pass, no matter how many "meards of the month"  either of these men are given, no matter how many Instagram stories or tweets continue to attempt to place them apart in more ways than just geographically, no matter if the Ted Casablanca's, Trent Vanegas' (Pink is the New Blog) and Michael K's are run out of town, no matter if blog administrators like Waiting for Toothy 2's Jackie are mysteriously gone from their sites, or "new ring bands" or "bracelets" appear on Jake or Austin's persons, comments like the following bombshells have still appeared and blown up all of those best laid plans and board room strategies, and causing us long-time believers to shout out an enthusiastic Harry Styles "BOOM!".  

Here was the blind that was supposed to be about an A- Lister, posted after pictures of Jake and Tom Porridge "Sturridge" appeared online of them shopping together in NYC, with many commenters claiming the blind to be about Jake, with Jeanne Cadieu as the beard and Sturridge as his new male lover:

And now hand this commenter a megaphone because both M&M and I believe this one is legit. 

Couldn't have said it better, Harry.   

Everybody?  Have yourselves a great week!
