Do You Know the Enemy: Who Exactly is Steven Bartlett? Part 2

Well, Narnia has been given the final piece of the puzzle we were waiting for regarding our Steven Bartlett post from September 18, 2025. As we indicated in Part 1, Bartlett just has too many suspicious connections with shady business practices and people in the media industry to view his selection for Louis' upcoming interview as a chance event. From Simon Cowell, the BBC, Sony, et al. to Jonathan Shalit and of course his sudden attachment to Liam in 2021 and his recent red-hearted Soccer Aid association with Louis. 🙄


Never mind that Bartlett curiously continues to follow Maya Henry on social media, and even though he has portrayed himself as Liam's good friend since 2021 has no public association to Kate Cassidy. The "girlfriend" portrayed as the love of Liam's life. 👀 With this kind of connect-the-dots personal and professional profile it's hard to view Bartlett as anything other than a ready, willing and able accomplice in facilitating TPTB's public narratives related to One Direction. Remember that Howard Stringer (Rob Stringer's brother) served as the Chairman, President and CEO of Sony Corporation from 2005-2012. He also joined the Executive Board to the BBC in December 2013. This information is being provided again, just in case anyone is wondering why Louis and the BBC, have been strangers, until now. That's right. These byzantine, widespread connections all exist for a reason. That's how control is maintained/enforced. That's how secrets are kept. 

Never mind Bartlett's close friendship with Jay Shetty, who just happened to be the person selected to "interview" Kate Cassidy on April 16, 2025. Another lengthy "opportunity", in podcast form, that just "coincidentally" pushed the TPTB narratives of a fairy tale romance and Cassidy and Liam's eternal "love" for one another. Blech! All the while intermittently rewriting Ziam truths to now be about her (like the Angel number 4 suddenly being ["our thing"], and co-opting the significance of the lion figure that was also part of Zayn and Liam's relationship dating back as early as 2013. [Refer to podcast transcript for details.]








The Payne Coat of Arms is a Lion

And we all know that Zayn is a sucker for heroes.

Liam in Melbourne, Australia October 29, 2013

A revealing quote from Zayn for the newly launched game, Harry Potter: Puzzles and Spells back on September 23, 2020. And what a coincidence that Gryffindor's coat of arms features a Lion. The symbol of bravery, chivalry and courage.





So with this shady background in mind, the world is now informed that not only is Steven Bartlett going to interview Louis for two whole hours, but for the first time ever, the podcast will be making history. How? Well, by amplifying/propagating whatever Louis says, while showing the podcast on the Big Screen. The publishing of an instantaneous transcript, as was done to Liam in 2021, apparently not enough fire power for what is about to take place. Just like the All of Those Voices Mockumentary was used in 2023 to get Louis on the record about Babygate, now TPTB are using the cinema format once again to have Louis promote their official public narratives and thus, wipe their fingerprints off of their abuses including the imposition of enforced closeting, "fatherhood". and the reformulation of certain "relationships" in the band. Just look at the sensational words being used about this upcoming interview now being marketed as an "event". 

  • World Exclusive
  • Cinematic Scope
  • Global Exclusive Screening
  • A New International Precedent For Content Distribution
  • One Night Only Premiere
  • Transforming a Digital Connection Into a Shared Cultural Experience
What a stark contrast from Louis' ostracism by the music industry for the last eight years, 2016-2024. The man portrayed in headlines, through 2022, as "Eleanor's boyfriend." That's right, "Eleanor's boyfriend". Not to mention how Louis' fandom had to wait to even get the official totals for his incredibly successful Livestream on December 12, 2020. And even then the accomplishment was buried under other stunt coverage about his mini-me "offspring" or his laddy-lad persona. A Guinness Book of World Records musical feat that would have received massive coverage for any other well-known artist. Especially, someone who had sold over 70 million records worldwide in less than five years, and was a vital part of the biggest boyband in the world. Instead, Louis was reduced to self-promotion.

November 16, 2021


Then there was the lack of publicity and airplay for his #1 UK Album, Faith in the Future, released in 2022. Where was the BBC then? Rolling StoneBillboard? Simon Jones? Matt Vines? Crickets. 🔇 

Persona non grata until a gradual narrative turnaround in 2024


Louis has informed us in so many ways and explicitly in his music video, "Just Like You" that what we are fed regarding his public narrative is all planned. Not somewhat planned. Not mostly planned. But "25, and it's all planned". Miraculously, Louis is now on the cover of the Rolling Stone in 2025 seemingly from out of nowhere. [Well-deserved we might add and long overdue.]  

Just Like You, music video released 10.17.17

Interestingly enough, all this is happening after Louis told his fans last year that something was coming, but that he knew we (his fans) would be by his side. And we most definitely will be there, like always. However, that kind of seismic public image shift only occurs after something has been given in exchange - some kind of significant "concession(s)".  After all, the music world consists of mountains of corrupt business practices, hidden behind image clauses, NDAs, industry connections and gatekeepers (waves at Steven Bartlett), market concentration which reduces professional/artistic options and freedom of movement, and good old-fashioned threats. A protection racket, grounded in unlimited demands (deliverables) and media collusion.  While outsiders might simply use the words, captivity, extortion and/or shakedown. 
 
Since 2016, Narnia has written about how this Hiatus from Hell™ has been used for many purposes (besides the image and monetary exploitation of Harry Styles), but key among them has been to wipe TPTB's fingerprints off of their demoralizing and abusive stunts, homophobic lies, corrupt business practices, and public narrative deceptions regarding One Direction as a group and as solo artists. The biggest cover-up of all being that of Larrie. But certainly other plot points need to be cleaned up as well. After all, TPTB must be absolved of all responsibility for the torrent of rumors and evidence that has accumulated over the last fifteen years. Especially, Sony and Simon Cowell operatives from Simon Jones to Mike Navarra to Steven Finan O'Conner to Ben Winston to Kid Harpoon, and to Chris Frewin. It takes a village as they say because the list is vast and never ending. In other words, even someone with a passing understanding of history, understands that conspiracies not only exist, but that power elites thrive on them. And, true to form, now it will be Louis target-on-his-back Tomlinson, who will be the one to step forward and take the hit. 



A real beauty and incredible artist



So this brings the fandom back to what was announced on Tuesday and although Narnia did not know exactly how the charade would play out, we do now. This is not just an interview by some random podcaster suddenly interested in an intimate chat with a recording artist who has new music to share with his fandom and music lovers in general. This is an orchestrated, high profile moment, a large scale cultural event, designed to bring together a "global community" (viral trend) with as many "like-minded" individuals as possible to "take notes" while "witnessing" irrefutable evidence once and for all. Straight from the horse's mouth as it were. Just like Sony/Syco did with Liam. Bartlett is a classic example of the quintessential flimflam man. A perfect mouthpiece/frontman for those who wish to remain behind the curtains. 

"I'm so happy that we're able to offer this experience to our community. Increasingly, people consume content alone and we think there's a much better, richer, more valuable way to consume a podcast," said Steven Bartlett, host of The Diary Of A CEO. "Since our last screening, I have wanted to create a way for more people to watch it together, on the big screen, with friends, family and likeminded strangers, to learn, take notes, laugh together, network, and discuss. Cineworld has created an opportunity for fans to do that on both sides of the Atlantic and this is just the start of our journey to turn our podcast audience into a connected, in-real-life global community."  

Steven Bartlett



BREAKING NEWS!  As suspected there is a Netflix tie-in with Cowell's sudden Boyband documentary in December and Liam's Building the Band participation in 2024, (the series that began to air a few months ago in July, but was filmed last summer). Now we are learning that Zayn and Louis will be working on a three-part Netflix "documentary" about their boyband past. Father narratives will be incoming for both, (another loose end needing to be tied up) as well as the reinforcement of all the significant public Liam narratives that critical thinking fans are still justly questioning, nearly a year later.

Thanks Harry, for the Sted Sarandos alias to let the public know that even though you are still relegated to the love that dares not speak its name in this shifting narrative, that you are most definitely, very much a part of One Direction, but being silenced/separated from the rest of the group, just like always. [For those unaware, Ted Sarandos is the CEO of Netflix.]

No doubt this is all part of the same mega deal that is now allowing Louis and Zayn to move forward. Unfortunately, the bittersweet 🍋 aspect of this hard won image shift is that trade-offs must be made. Let's not lose sight of the fact that power almost never relinquishes power without something being given back in return. 



The key to remember now is that regardless of how much coercion or dirty dealing the guys have had to cope with to get to where they are today, that we are still the greatest team the world has ever seen. This means we must move forward into this new era together. We know what we know and no judgmental Tik Tokers are going to "exterminate" or eradicate what we've seen, heard and celebrated for 15 years. Even Niall cryptically "spoke up" recently, reminding us to never forget to take care of ourselves. So something big is coming.


Louis has always reminded us that we are interdependent. We need him. He needs us. All of us. Separate the truth from the lies and question the rest. Never forget that life is bitter and sweet. Take a sip of that iced-chilled glass of Lemonade and don't let go of what is most meaningful. Like immutable love.

Harry and Stomper looking up at the sky from his "Satellite" music video, May 3, 2023, 

As next week draws near, Narnia suspects that Louis is going to be made to lie about many topics, but especially about that one irreplaceable person in the world who means the most to him. (See above.)  So be prepared for massive trolling and bots to be unleashed across the social media ecosystem. Just like they were against Liam on Oscar night, 2022.  Amid the chaos, expect tabloid headlines and Larrie fandom mockery. Throughout the mayhem, dig in, and remember to stay grounded in reality, supported by fifteen years of evidence. Ignore those false conspiracies that Sony/Cowell continue to disseminate so that they can be left off the hook and walk between the raindrops. How convenient that TPTB never seem to be blamed for any abuses in these prearranged interviews. Just think about that. Like with most abusive relationships where there is a power imbalance, the victim is exploited again and again until something changes.  

After all these years, if any two people deserve the benefit of the doubt and to be embraced and accepted for who they really are and the compromises they have had to make along the way simply to chase their dreams, those individuals would be Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles. Take a calming deep breath, smile softly, then gaze up at the sky. 

Cue the music:

🎶We'll be alright.

🎶We'll be alright.

🎶We'll be alright.







                                   Looks like certain folks don't appreciate critical thinking. Sad!


Oh, and look who just happened to 'like' this surely "spur-of-the-moment" point of view with an obvious vested interest in safeguarding Steven Bartlett's reputation. Self-serving much, Steven.




Just remember, when all is said and done, that Louis is trying to navigate through some perilous shark infested waters and a large part of his remarkable strength and resiliency comes from us. Same goes for all of the guys.

'Cause we made it
Underestimated
And always underrated
Now we're saying goodbye
Waving to the hard times
Yeah, it's going to be alright - "We Made It"

Bullet Point Saturday Musings: Super 1D Fandom Tactics, "Male Tom" and a Comic Con Baptism





















Whaaaaaa?  But it's only 9 thirty 12:40???  It's too early for Narnia to be posting, what's up with that?  Wellll, but these are bullet point musings, meaning I'm trying to be, I mean they are quick and to the point.  Let's look at a few things that caught our eye this past week. 

• Does anyone watch Kelly Clarkson? In a promo for her You Tube channel, Kelly did a cover of One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful" and it is fun.  Of course, she has tremendous vocals.  Give it a listen!



• Shoutout to the wonderful Larrie fandom, who can command a presence on social media, despite Harry and Louis not being seen together in public on the X Factor, December 14, 2015.  Now, that's staying strong and enduring.  Don't worry, the time will come.  The day will come.  These two men would not be sending the incredible number of signals & shout-outs to each other if they intended to remain underground.

And this is one of the many ways this fandom remains relevant and strong.  Narnia salutes:


https://28nachos.tumblr.com/post/188221502832/have-you-seen-whats-happening-on-twitter-right

Fellas, got anything to say to your longtime faithful?



Of course, when one of the five guys releases a new single, ain't nothing stopping that social media train of support from their fans. They will flood Twitter in a wonderful show of love and promotion, hash tagging and tweeting at radio stations, asking them to play the song.  It's truly an impressive demonstration, one that they have perfected by this time.  Artists cannot ask for a more supportive fandom; their own teams can't cover that kind of ground with word of mouth.  And it's been a busy several weeks because each member has released a new song.  This was a musical onslaught!

Louis Tomlinson - Kill My Mind, released Sep 5
Liam Payne - Stack It Up, released Sep 18 
Zayn Malik -  Trampoline remix w/Shaed released Sep 26
                       and Rumors w/ Sabrina Claudio, rel Oct 4
Niall Horan - Nice to Meet Ya, released Oct 4
Harry Styles - Lights Up, released Oct 11



• And just kind of a weird-funny.  Remember that episode of Seinfeld when George Costanza began dating a woman named "Janet"? Elaine noticed right away that George's new companion reminded her of Jerry.  Then, Kramer saw the same resemblance.  Cue "hilarity ensues".





Narnia posted this picture of hired beard, Jeanne Cadieu in our last post.  Did anyone else notice how in this picture, she looks like Tom Holland?  

























Or just we at Narnia??  I don't know, I doubt it...



• And how about that Adam Levine?  I know what I said about not posting about Shevine (Adam Levine/Blake Shelton) any further because they were a mess, but there are some strong, strong narratives going on right now with one of the halves and so this author just can't pass this one up.  First of all, let's take a look at Adam Levine's new do.


Here he was allegedly on Sep 24 in Los Angeles, according to Just Jared.  And looks like a pap just happened to be swinging through the neighborhood.




Closer shot:



Here's a reminder of how Adam used to look, 2013's Sexiest Man of the Year by People.com.  (Prepare for feelings of loss and sadness):

















 


(Isn't it interesting that both Levine and Blake have been chosen for this title of Sexiest Man Alive? What are the odds?)  The drastic new cornrow hairstyle was met with some gasps, for sure. In a New York Post article entitled "Adam Levine's New Cornrow Mohawk Sparks Outrage on Twitter", excerpts of tweets and reactions to the new 'do' are mostly uncomplimentary.  Speculations widely varied ranging from a cry of desperation to "cultural appropriation" to "mid-life crisis".  Someone else wondered if everything was "okay at home".  Hmmmm....

Coming on the heels of Adam's decision to leave the show The Voice, one which he had been a part of since its inception sixteen seasons (eight years),  things were looking a bit precarious.  But now, after his recent appearance on Ellen Degeneres' television show, Levine seems to be telling everyone to calm down.  His big reveal?  

"I really do miss it," he told DeGeneres. "I love the people that I met and worked with, and you all obviously know how i feel about [fellow coach] Blake [Shelton]. … I do miss it but I don't miss how much I had to work. I was constantly working for so many years — very lucky, very fortunate, very bless and all that — but  to just be able to stop in this moment to spent time with my new young family and just have the greatest time ever. Now I'm a stay-at-home dad. I just stay at home and do very little." - Billboard, Oct 7 2019

What was that?  A stay-at-home dad?  He wants to quit working so he can stay home with his two daughters.  Who did he miss? Blake.  Blake Shelton, who will remain working.  And Levine, who wants to take a break.  Maroon 5 will perform three concerts before the end of the year, one in Hollywood, FL on Oct 25 and two at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas on Dec 30/31.  Earlier in the year, they had toured Australia, Asia and parts of Europe, so perhaps 2020 may be a quiet one?  Remains to be seen.

Nonetheless, "taking time off".  "Disappearing for lengths of time".  "Spending more time with family".   Have several of our OTP halves been watching too much Jake&AustinTV ?  LOL!

• Speaking of an OTP watching too much Jake&AustinTV, we've been watching one of the more fascinating, ongoing OTP storylines with Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki.  One recent spike in the drink took place this past week with the confirmation that Jared will be starring in a CW reboot of Walker, Texas Ranger.  Despite multiple, past messages of intentions to "disappear" and "take a break", Jared has done the exact opposite by already committing to another television series.  

Well played, Mr. Padalecki.  Certainly intriguing, isn't it?  Narnia is definitely keeping an eye on those two.  With a family situation much like Jake and Austin's, the look-over-there's and not-over-here's will no doubt continue as Supernatural aims towards the finish line. 



• And finally, get ready because by now the Jakers has begun his busy day's schedule, the baptism day of an official United States fan convention, at Ace Comic Con in Rosemont, IL.  No doubt, Jake will have a terrific time meeting so many fans and also at the evening's panel with Tom Holland, an event no doubt tailor made for his naturally exuberant and ready-to-entertain nature. 


Chances are high "Gyllenholland" will be on full display, especially since there were never any revelations that Mr. Holland made the time and effort to see "best bud" Jake in his Broadway play, Sea Wall/A Life ??  And also importantly, the social media team will need a replenishment of content (aka gif material) to stuff Jake's timelines, when art show opportunities are unavailable.  *wink*  But, we'll see because you know how these guys & Team Mara operate - super shady.   Here's Jake's schedule today:



And tomorrow, Oct 13:



Hmmm...do you reckon Jake is going to don the Mysterio costume for several of those photo ops?  That would be pretty cool.







You never know what these photo ops will bring on.  Surely anything but stunting, right?  Because what PR team would do that???  Pfft!  Already from today, some lucky fans!!




And one can see that Holland had to buzz-cut his hair for his currently filming role in a movie called Cherry.  This idea was kind of cute:




Short and sweet because we all have a weekend to get to.  Enjoy your Saturday!

Narnia Said It Would Be So: The Jake Gyllenhaal/Junior "Tom" Holland Romance Pt. 3


From the Perch - Final Thoughts, Speculations 
and Runway Jake

Part 1
Part 2 
 

The Marvel movies seem to have discovered that there is a rabid female fan base ready for handsome men in spandex.  Chris Evans (Steve Rogers) and Sebastian Stan (Bucky Barnes) became known as the romantic acronym "Stucky", catching many fans' attention.  Then, there are fans who love the friendship of Tony Stark and Steve Rogers.  And Bucky Barnes and Sam Wilson. Oh, the combinations are endless!  ;-)

And this is how the movie studios attract many of the female demographic into the movie seats.  The fan fiction and gifs fill Tumblr and Twitter.  Conventions translate to photo ops translates to big dollars, as Supernatural, The Walking Dead and Comic Con conventions have shown.  So we the viewing customers shouldn't really think twice anymore when bromances seem to be peddled everywhere we turn. What we need to grow smart about, is being able to recognize and identify the manufactured and contrived.  

So, in order to sell the movie, one wouldn't be totally surprised that Marvel and Sony would sell Far From Home with a "romantic" bromantic relationship of some sort. The problem is that Peter Parker/Spiderman is underaged -  he's still in high school while Mysterio is significantly older looking. So the movie studio hasn't "gone there".  What is eyebrow raising is how heavy the "romance" between Tom Holland and Jake Gyllenhaal has been used to promote the movie.  Not Zendaya and Holland.  Zendaya (MJ) is supposed to be Peter Parker's high school romantic interest and there have been some teasers on social media of "are they or aren't they" between Holland and Zendaya since she appeared in Spiderman: Homecoming. In 2016, they began appearing on each other's Instagram accounts before filming had even started after all. 



"Find yourself someone who looks at you the way", etc etc etc...yes, we know how it works.



Promo for Homecoming appears to have featured an abundance of "Tomdaya".  And the "relationship" carried over into real life to this day, bouncing back and forth between denials of "not dating!" to fuzzy, "sneaked" photos of what look like "we time".  We at Narnia are all too familiar with the signs.  

The "blurry" capture of an "organic" moment,



From spring of this year 2019, where you can't even tell that is Zendaya, but we're told that is her.  And there's Holland, "spotting" the intruding camera zoom lens pointed in their direction.




The "Caught!" pictures, with added "background filler" written up by Lamey no less 




Remind anyone else of Liam when he was standing on a sidewalk, outside of what was supposed to be Naomi Campbell's apartment?  Below is trash rag The Sun, spoon feeding the public:


 
And Zayn Malik:


 
Yes, apparently all the guys have to do is stand or walk outside of the beard's apartment building and the fiction writes itself, with the help of the PR mouthpiece tabloids!

The pictures of Zendaya and Tom Holland are no different.  Is it possible that Holland likely needs cover as well? After all, we have watched Jake's co-star, co-stunt history pattern. 

Well, Zendaya has Odell Beckham, Jr. in her "dating" history.  [Beckham has a Kardashian, Amber Rose and Bella Hadid in his "dating" history.]  And let's not forget that Odell Beckham, Jr. is close friends with...Drake.  ;-)  

DataLounge is a treasure trove of chatter regarding Tom Holland and close friend, Harrison Osterfield.  There are numerous endearing vids and gifs shared in the comment threads of the two men, who have known each other since they met at BRIT School, a performing and creative arts school in Croydon, UK for ages 14-19.  Holland attended in 2012-13, so that would mean the two young men have known each other for at least six years. 

These interactions of Harrison and Holland seem a little different, look a little different than the scripted and cookie cutter manufactured Sony, Marvel and WME/Endeavor has been force-feeding of Tom and Jake.




















The laughing



Celebrating a million followers


Sharing meals



Working out together (sort of!)




and loads of selfie videos.  Countless.  Numerous.  Very cute.  Very fun.  






   




























Did you know that Harrison Osterfield has been Tom's personal assistant for four films?  From IMDb:



It also looks like Harrison may be listed as an assistant to "Mr. Holland" in Far From Home, spotted by someone who saw his name listed in the end credits (we won't ask how she took the photo shot, lol).  Yet, this is not listed on Harrison's IMDb credits, so we cannot verify this information as solid fact. It looks valid, let's put it that way.


https://harrison-osterfield-appreciation.tumblr.com/post/185971582797/i-just-saw-spider-man-far-from-home-twice-and
 

This pattern reminds Narnia of someone else, though.  Matthew K Frost was Jake's personal assistant in his early films before moving on to his own career.  Notice the years and films.  




The last film Matt Frost worked as Jake's personal assistant was 2004 during The Day After Tomorrow, the film where Jake met Austin.  


Oh?  ;-)  Long time fans of Jake and/or Austin are familiar with who Matt K Frost is, having seen him in photos with both men.  He is also speculated to have been Ted Casablanca's source for some of his information in the Toothy Tile/Grey Goose blinds.

Unable to resist, here are a couple more nice moments of Osterfield and Holland.


https://tomandharrisongifs.tumblr.com/post/169808576643/i-just-asked-harrison-for-a-coffee-but-i-wonder 





































"You keep your family and your friends close".  Looking at Holland's social media activity, he definitely seems to walk the walk. His brothers are in many, many of his photos.  Notice Harry Holland listed in Far From Home as a production assistant. There are four Holland boys all with some level of show business experience.  Their father, Dominic as well and the mother Nikki credited with one acting appearance in a short that Tom directed. 

This sounds like who?  Like Jake, who grew up in a show business family and to this day, has surrounded himself with his mother and sister (plus her daughters).  In the earlier days, Peter Sarsgaard was also part of the protective circle.  Longtime, close friends like Chris Fischer and Greta Caruso have been seen repeatedly in the past, all helping time after time to provide Jake cover for his whereabouts and activities.  

So it is not surprising to see Holland cooperating and in fact, embellishing on the "romance" with Gyllenhaal promotion angle.

"We've sort of become best buds on and off screen"


 

Getting way too carried away:






As a single man, Tom Holland forgot his place during the Far From Home promotion junket, however brief and limited it was.  How many of his additives were marching orders from Sony/Marvel/WME/Endeavor and how much of the almost-kisses, "it's falling in love", "we're getting married", "where's my husband" were his own idea?  

Embellishing and contributing to the public burial of a real-life spouse and children, one not even pre-school age yet is not an admirable trait for one so otherwise "genuine" and "boyish" in appearance.  It's not a good look and doesn't bode well for future cooperation in the antics of the Hollywood closet. In this case, the antics were two-sided in what is looking now to be a mutual mearding situation for both Jake and Holland.

And now?  Well, Jake is nowhere to be seen and hasn't been seen since he was portrayed to be overseas following the premiere. And in usual Jake-style, he did not disappear into the night without a stunt. His people pretended to delete his Instagram account.  Hence, this small sampling of meme tweets which emerged immediately following the "act".


 


 


 

[06 09 21Wow, look at that, THREE tweets now dismantled.  One was deleted totally, the second one is from a suspended account and the third one belongs to an account who "limits" who views their tweets.  How freaking convenient.   

Lousy clean up, Jake's social media team.   The damage has been done already.]

 

 








And the recurring theme that Jake is going to disappear now that he had "deleted" his account:





Of course, he did not delete the account.  It re-appeared the very same day, but Jake did not. LOL!  While "Junior" Holland has since been to Wimbledon and Harrison's birthday party, and Zendaya highly visible in Paris, Jakers has pulled his predictable disappearing act.  No doubt, spending time with his kids and fish-out-of-the-water husband Austin Nichols.

Austin did find himself having to take time for some social media posts as it seems that right around the time of Jake's disappearance, he and the beard suddenly suffered the alleged loss of their deard, aka Chumley's dog.  Here's Austin's OTT posts as he had full coverage on both twitter and his instagram.  




Let's count the "co-habitating" references in his Instagram.  1) mornings, 2) woke me up, 3) breakfast, 4) morning sun, 5) when I was making dinner, 6) carpeted hotel hallways [co-habitating away from home!], and 7) took her on a walk.  
























 

 

I don't knowwww......Joey, what do you think of Austin's tribute?




lol.  Okay, enough of that, our readers have homes to go to.  Whatever, Austin.  To wrap things up, here's some nice photos of Jake from the Cliff Notes edition of Far From Home promo tour:

Another movie promo round for our guy.  Alot of predictable, a few new discoveries, the usual eye rolls, but Narnia Dispatches salutes Jake on what sounds to be a great turn in his role as Mysterio.  We are happy for his success, but the strategies and harsh tactics to cover up and bury truths by behemoth companies like Sony, Marvel and WME/Endeavor leave much to be admired.
