Past, Present and Future?

NEW: Jake Leaves Longtime Manager By NIKKI FINKE | Wednesday December 7, 2011 @ 10:32am EXCLUSIVE: Management 360′s Evelyn O’Neill tells me it’s a “very amicable parting” and she hopes he comes back since she and Jake Gyllenhaal go back such a long time — 8 years. “Sometimes people like change in their life. I think he’s amazing, I’m very proud of the work he did together, he was nominated for an Oscar, I want him back, and the door is always open. It is what it is.” I understand Gyllenhaal is not leaving for another manager and he’s not leaving his talent agency CAA. I have a feeling this may be the start of a trend as the movie biz is so muddled with the box office slump that stars who can’t put people in theater seats will see projects falling apart one after another. Rough sledding for the rep business.


It's been full days for Austin as he finishes up his third day in Israel with the big guns from his Jeep tour near the Golan Heights today.

I found a tank on the Syrian Border. Hit this- - Aus10

The group traveled to the northern part of Israel on Tuesday, starting with briefing by Editor in Chief of Israel’s daily newspaper “Ha’aretz”.

Then it was Austin making new friends in music class at the Rogozin Bialik School in South Tel Aviv.

Tuesday afternoon they traveled to Sderot, we they got briefed on the geo-political situation, visited with residents and went to an overview of the Gaza strip. Then they met and talk with a group of film students at local college.

It was then northward and spent the evening at Bayit BaGalil Spa Hotel in the mountains near Safad.

Today it was a visit to the famous Ari Synagogue in Safad and a chance for the guys (no ladies allowed) to spiritually purifying in the Ari Mikveh at Safat. Located in the side of a mountain...it is a climb up or a descent from the top to get to the spring and " plunge back 800 years into the mystical, ritual-immersion pool fed by pure cold waters from the spring directly underneath." Important places in the mystic tradition of Judaism. And how cold was the water ? Check out what fellow traveler Justin's tweeted.

And while it doesn't seem like fans find Austin in the US, they can easily spot him when he's traveling.

And if that isn't enough Nichols to fill up the bank today. How about this new picture from a shoot Austin did earlier with photographer Davis Factor?

Austin of the past? The coat, the suspenders.Nice grey...scarf there mister.

The pic we've seen earlier from that shoot.
