MENTAL PAUSE
There are many things that are reliable about an Aussie summer. Mangoes. Crickets. Cricket. And, well, Simon Baker returning home.
As predictable as the Boxing Day Test in Melbourne is Baker's arrival with his family, including his wife, Rebecca Rigg, and daughter, Stella Breeze, in tow for a few weeks of surf and sand.
The star of The Mentalist secured a cute homestead in Nashua, about 20 minutes inland from Byron Bay, for $1.5 million several years ago so he could enjoy his annual pilgrimage home. He had been a student at the local state high school, Ballina High, and has never forgotten his idyllic childhood, despite becoming a massive star in the US.
The actor was snapped looking suitably surfie, barefoot in boardies, along with his two boys in single file, Claude Blue and Harry Friday, last week heading to Seven Mile Beach at Lennox Head. Bliss.

Fran, Thanks for the Australian posting, and thanks for looking for the photo. You would think it would have shown up somewhere by now. |

Aussie elite out in force for G'Day USA
AUSTRALIA'S Hollywood elite, headed by Hugh Jackman, Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban and Naomi Watts, will be out in force in Los Angeles to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the G'Day USA festival.
The Aussie posse rolling up to the black tie gala in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday also includes Mel Gibson, Simon Baker, Toni Collette, Olivia Newton-John, Ryan Kwanten, Anthony LaPaglia, Poppy Montgomery, Jacki Weaver, Jesse Spencer, Helen Reddy, Rod Laver and Luc Longley.
Inside the sold-out JW Marriott ballroom, guests, who paid $US500 ($A478) a seat, will snack on a menu of Australian food and wine prepared by celebrity chef Curtis Stone.
Supermodel Elle Macpherson and the Nine Network's Richard Wilkins will share master of ceremonies duties and Jessica Mauboy, Jack Vidgen and David Campbell will join acclaimed didgeridoo player William Barton to entertain guests.
Each year organisers single out high-performing Aussies for special mention and on Saturday Paul Hogan and Rose Byrne will receive awards.
Jackman will present Hogan with an "Australian Icon" award for his pioneering work introducing Australia to a generation of Americans with his "throw a shrimp on the barbie" TV commercials and Crocodile Dundee films.
Byrne's Damages TV series co-star, Glenn Close, will present the Sydney-born actress with an Excellence in Film & TV award.
Academy Award nominee John Travolta will also be recognised as a Goodwill Ambassador for Australia for his ongoing support of Australia and patronage at G'Day USA events since its inception in 2004.
The black tie gala is one of the highlights of the annual G'Day USA festival, which showcases Australian food, wine, tourism, business, entertainment and other sectors to Americans.
The events are produced by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Qantas, Tourism Australia and Austrade.

I do hope that Simon's property is not in danger in Australia. Have just seen the fires on the news - so frightening. |

Short French article giving a little more information about the Givenchy advertisement & perfume:
http://www.marieclaire.fr/,simon-....983.asp
Perhaps one of our French members can provide a better translation, but I think it says something along the lines of:
The commercial is directed by Peter Lindbergh, and we'll see Simon strolling in the rain in New York and offering his umbrella to a stranger ... the message: courtesy is casual elegance and state of mind. The new perfume 'Gentlemen Only' has a very aromatic woody fragrance inspired by the cult fragrance 'Givenchy Gentleman', also drawing on fragrances from the East to create its uniqueness. The bottle is true to the classic and elegant Givenchy, and has blue tones to bring a touch of modernity.
Eau de Toilette Givenchy Gentlemen Only, spray 100ml Price: 79.50 EUR
Available April 2, 2013 |

Thank you so much Fran for the translation. You're very good !
I just added some precisions (I know that my English is far from perfect but I'm trying to contribute to the site and to improve my English ) :
"Advertising film in support under the direction of Peter Lindbergh, you will see the actor walk in New York in a pouring rain before offering his umbrella to an unknown. All is said: courtesy is casual elegance and a state of mind with a very aromatic woody fragrance... assumed. Inspired by perfume Givenchy Gentleman cult, that cologne and lavender extracts already articulated around a powerful wooded agreement, new perfume "Gentlemen Only" draws the powerful charm of the Orient in the incense and creates its singularity.
When the bottle, faithful to classic and elegant of the Givenchy House codes nothing changes only the bluish tones bring a touch of modernity to the flask ultra sober."
In fact I think the actual fragrance of the perfume seems closer to the likes of Simon expressed in another article (We know he likes Patchouli which is a scent from the East). |

Thank you for the articles and translation, but forgive me if I need to take a moment here.
you will see the actor walk in New York in a pouring rain before offering his umbrella to an unknown.
Does this mean we will see SB not only looking elegant, but also wet? These advertisers really know what they're doing, don't they? *evil grin* Gotta see this commercial....

That photo is with the MarieClaire article, and also here: http://thebakerboy.ucoz.com/photo....-0-6503
There's also a French article at PurePeople with big versions of this photo, another one we've already seen and the blue perfume bottle: http://www.purepeople.com/article....1
The article also provides the info that Patrick Demarchelier is doing the photo campaign (Patrick Demarchelier was born outside Paris in 1943 and has lived in the US since 1975. His photos regularly appear in Vogue, Vanity Fair, Harper’s Bazaar, Rolling Stone, Newsweek and Elle. Beginning in 1989, he was the official photographer of Princess Diana of Wales, becoming the first non-Briton to become an official photographer for the Royal Family.) |
