Thread to talk about the actor Tom Hiddleston

>>800 Oh, don't hold back pretty tinfoil hat!
Surely someone can up with an even more elaborate hat- every aspect of this rollout reeks of scandal.

802 Name: Anon : 2016-06-20 22:05 ID:gIPGuddk

>>795 Or, they met the night before and at the Met Gala, and got drunk together and were attracted and had a great time. Has no-one else on here had a really great evening with someone that turned into a first date?

I would buy that they got together the night of the Met Gala and that there is a cheating story in that sense. Also that the Sun might have got hold of it and that this prompted the photoshoot. But when did he have time before then to meet her? He was filming and then on publicity tour of doom with other love interest Mark Abrahams/his guitar!

803 Name: delurking : 2016-06-20 22:13 ID:t2IK1ubS

>>800 I don't believe there was a contract before the met ball but this story afterwards shows they spent a lot of time together that ngith.

>>801 *come, someone can come... even my scatty omittances are shady

>>799 I don't know what's normal but the sudden deviation from both their normal behaviour combined with press releases at times which are not at all favorable stinks of a coverup

>>802 It was reported in an article that TS went clubbing after Wintours dinner. It's a possibility that's when sparks flew
TH did have quite a bit of time off between press commitments, especially in NY. There was enough time to fly home at one point but he stayed. Maybe he was serenading her with his guitar

805 Name: Anon : 2016-06-20 22:47 ID:gIPGuddk

>>804 He did have time off in NYC before the Wintour dinner and the Met Gala. But the Wintour dinner seems to be the first time he met TS. There is a video of her leaving saying "nice to meet you".

A Gossip Cop article but one which notably fails to feature the one line that ever makes them worth reading ("x's representatives confirmed that the story is false"): http://www.gossipcop.com/taylor-swift-fake-relationship-tom-hiddleston/

807 Name: NewAnon : 2016-06-20 23:13 ID:CMz6GCNx

>>805 Idris was there too. She could've been saying nice to meet you to him more than Tom. If the two had been staying in touch and getting to know each other digitally, then they could have figured out how to handle it all. Also the fact that some of these MET pics of her and him are coming out now that tell a different story than drunk awkward flailing means her team had made sure it all stayed hidden until Calvin was out of the picture.
Now I think they'd rather ride out the cheating scandal than have people believe they're both gay and bearding or that it's all a fake PR orchestrated showmance.

808 Name: anonsy : 2016-06-21 03:29 ID:Ma2JpFf8

>>801 >>802 Oh, I can go there!

Tom gets drunk at the Met Gala (we already know this happened). Taylor hits on him and they dance. She invites him to come back to her place when it's all over. He's thrilled at the prospect of hooking up with the "cool girl" and takes her up on it, even though she's still in a relationship with Calvin Harris. Someone gets photos of them leaving together, or him going into her apartment, or him leaving the next morning in his tux. They send the photos to the Sun. The Sun says hey Tom and Taylor, we've got some interesting photos we'd like to publish... unless you provide us with an alternative. So Tom and Taylor stage the RI beach shoot, pretend to be all lovey-dovey, and give the Sun a story to run in place of a cheating scandal that will still guarantee just as many sales and website hits. They cover up their illicit dalliance and will "part ways as friends" over the summer via a tabloid announcement from a "source" aka their PR. The end.

>>808 flappy inflatable tube man tinfoil hat!

If it turns out to be true I'm submitting this piece to all the magazines so they can herald you as the second psychic fan (unfortunately minus the smut).

810 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-06-21 06:10 ID:Heaven

>>808 anonsy, that is very possible and at the very least explains why he is staying at a hotel in NY after spending so many days at her house in RI or why all of a sudden no pap in NY can't see to find them. Too bad it was all for nothing, for both of them. From what I read these past days, Swift went on holiday with Calvin Harris after the Met, so the cheating aspect is even worse. As for TH, we all know what is happening to him.

811 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-06-21 06:11 ID:Heaven

>>806 GossiCop is the same one that posted this a month back, it seems to me they are TH's fangirls. And you called them out on it at the time Anon! Good job http://www.gossipcop.com/taylor-swift-dumping-calvin-harris-tom-hiddleston-breakup-split/

812 Name: Anon : 2016-06-21 08:26 ID:gIPGuddk

>>808 I would totally don a tinfoil hat in the shape of TS's plane for that rumour. There's no need to hypothesise they met weeks before the Met Gala. It would be embarrassing enough for her to be caught spending a night with TH having just met him, when she was still supposedly with someone else. Also makes sense of the otherwise warp speed progression to public acknowledgement if they hooked up on May 2 and have been engaging in Tom's fabled sexting ever since.

>>811Did I? God, I have no memory of that at all!

813 Name: Anonon : 2016-06-21 12:23 ID:Wz63Rze+

Did some lurking on LSA and stumbled across this gem talking about TH:

"My friend fucked him once or twice and I have met him at this artsy members club in London, he was very friendly and touchy feely. He also looks directly into your eyes when talking...like D.I.R.E.C.T.L.Y. It's creepy because I don't like looking people in the eyes. I feel like he is trying to figure you out or expose you. I can't put it into words but yeah. He looks right at your eyeballs. Didn't like that. He kept touching my shoulder which I hated because 'bitch I don't know you.' He didn't take anything further. It was just a nice convo about random things. He's really smart btw, which is why I am surprised at him for getting with Taylor. It must be PR, I can see him fucking someone like her but not dating. She doesn't seem to smart or deep and he isn't shallow or didn't come across that way on the night I met him This was a few months ago... I will ask my friend for the details on the dick report and make a thread. Yes, she's black because I know one of y'all will ask lol."

Recent events have made me reminisce about my all time favorite male centrefolds: Burt Reynolds and The Hoff.

Praying for a TH nude centrefold with Swifty's kittens. It's the only way forward.

815 Name: Whatsinaname : 2016-06-21 13:13 ID:tFWZ1nis

>>813 Anonon I hate to be a spoiler but that LSA comment sounds suspiciously similar to past 'stories' I've seen posted in thebycycle, on ONTD, and datalounge. Take it with a grain of salt.

816 Name: Anon : 2016-06-21 13:19 ID:dyQW+Y6X

Popped over to CB and in among 400 "please put it away, my ladyparts dried up" comments are a few stans saying he was totes done over by evil W mag. Hilariously they say this because the TH shoot was meant to be part of a much larger feature of 12 TV actors also posing in their pants as if awaiting the proctologist. Apparently if the photos had been confined to that context this would all have been just fine.

I don't usually go a bundle on CB's editorial line but this one nails it: http://www.celebitchy.com/491330/tom_hiddleston_im_here_to_tell_you_that_my_butt_is_not_dangerous/

These photos, the bright lighting, the total lack of artistry or styling, the "get it here" pose and most of all TH's woebegone expression all say that this was a mistake whatever the context.

817 Name: Anonon : 2016-06-21 13:25 ID:xlRsi5kN

>>815 I'm taking it with a grain of salt on salted cod standing in a salt mine. Maybe she mistook being eye fucked for fucking. Easily done

Another "exclusive" courtesy of the ubiquitous and very helpful "unnamed source"... is it three weeks already?

819 Name: Anon : 2016-06-21 13:56 ID:dyQW+Y6X

>>817 The "Tom slept with a WOC" is a regular-ish thing that I've seen a few times in different places. There is a corner of the fandom which is obsessed with proving that he is attracted to WOC. I guess it's analogous to the corner of the fandom that can't cope with him being attracted to petite blondes and palms he was seen with a busty brunette - in other words, the fandom always wants him to be with someone who most resembles whoever is writing at the time.

820 Name: Anon : 2016-06-21 13:57 ID:dyQW+Y6X

palms = claims in autocorrect land!

821 Name: Anonon : 2016-06-21 14:15 ID:xlRsi5kN

>>816 The photos aren't great but as I mentioned before, he chose to do this, nobody forced him.
Perhaps there would have been less ridicule in numbers. It does appear they've released this early to capitalise on his newfound infamy but I also can't see that happening without his managements approval.
On professional shoots all the poses, styling, lighting, framing and layout are designed and approved in advance and in my experience the photographer sends the creatives and his management proofs for final approval before print.
I can't see this being a slap dash amateur job considering there's 12 actors involved. Most celebs aren't professional models so they're not consistent in taking good photos. TH is very hit and miss. Thinking man pose is a perfect example.

>>818 By tinfoil timeline it's been 7 weeks, by LA stopover timeline it's nearly 5 weeks and I think it's 3 weeks since he was spotted in NY

Maybe this is actually his bid for the Fast and Furious franchise cause that's how I would describe this relationship.

822 Name: anonymous : 2016-06-21 14:19 ID:AhEz7/CM

>>821 well.. 2.5 weeks since Swifty "officially" broke up with her ex soo yeah.. fast and the furious or grade school fast. Can't tell anymore.

But seriously .. does the guy REALLY feel the need to do this crap to get ahead? Have any of his peers (looking at YOU Domhnall Gleeson) had to pimp themselves out to this extent?

I also wonder now if he really does have the Bond gig all stitched up and this is all part of getting the audience ready to accept him as a different brand.

I miss the old one tbh.

823 Name: Anon : 2016-06-21 15:13 ID:dyQW+Y6X

>>821 Yes I agree with all of this! And even if he had no editorial control over the release date or the copy - well, he still chose to pose for those pics and hand all that control over to W. If you don't want W to sit on the pics and release them at an embarrassing time of its own choosing - don't pose for pics in your pants in the first place.

PS the whole setup shows he has bad taste and judgment when it comes to naughty shots of himself. So not sexy and the concept is so basic. I didn't at all mean to suggest it was a slapdash job. Someone thought this was good, sadly. They were wrong.

826 Name: anonsy : 2016-06-21 20:38 ID:Ma2JpFf8

>>825 "They text all the time! That's how she knows he's the one! Omg!"

827 Name: Anon : 2016-06-21 21:00 ID:gIPGuddk

Remember I speculated upthread that he was probably uncool and geeky at school and didn't get the girls, hence he is so needy for attention and validation now? Well someone else has speculated the same and attributed it to an unnamed source (maybe me!).

828 Name: anonsy : 2016-06-21 22:00 ID:Ma2JpFf8

>>827 That article says his parents were in teaching but that's wrong, isn't it?

I can believe the bit about the purple pants and tie-dye shirt - he's fashion challenged, no doubt, so that wouldn't surprise me. I can't imagine him trying to grow his hair long. Wouldn't it just sort of grow... out? Like a big floofy blond halo. Although just because he tried doesn't mean it worked.

Such cringe that he's dad dancing at a Selena Gomez concert. The things you do for love..

Well he's met the folks so settle down for the freakshow that is TH's very first public romance. I guess it's here to stay

834 Name: Anonon : 2016-06-22 03:32 ID:b6smuyXB

>>832 You just went out slaying!
Selena stopped the show because TH and Calvin were brawling over Tay Tay.

835 Name: NewAnon : 2016-06-22 03:43 ID:CMz6GCNx

Oh god this is so embarrassing. I can't believe Tom got involved in this juvenile crap. Taylor Swift must have loved it though. She's never had guys fight over her. I hope some videos come out of this brawl. I'm here to watch this insanity go down in a massive glorious ball of flames.

Drip drip drabble, there's something every day or every other day to keep both their names out there.

Kay..

838 Name: NewAnon : 2016-06-22 03:50 ID:CMz6GCNx

So wait was there a brawl or not? Is that girl making stuff up? Were Calvin and Kanye even there? I must know if this high school drama happened or not.

839 Name: NewAnon : 2016-06-22 03:56 ID:CMz6GCNx

I can't find anything about a brawl between Tom and Calvin. Tsk and here I got so excited that we were finally going to get juicy drama.

840 Name: Anonon : 2016-06-22 04:02 ID:b6smuyXB

>>838 I really doubt Calvin was there (last reported to be in Vegas for the weekend) but I so desperately want it to be true.
This whole relationship rollout has been a barrel of uncomfortable but hearty laughs. It's the only reason I'm still here.

>>837 The media was super quick to get articles out of this sighting. Milliseconds.

841 Name: NewAnon : 2016-06-22 04:18 ID:CMz6GCNx

>>840 Me too! But ywah I doubt he'd make the effort to chase after Taylor. He finally managed to get out lol

Taylor and her team are definitely on top of it - http://m.eonline.com/news/774704/taylor-swift-and-tom-hiddleston-dance-the-night-away-at-selena-gomez-s-nashville-concert?cmpid=rss-000000-rssfeed-365-topstories&utm_source=eonline&utm_medium=rssfeeds&utm_campaign=rss_topstories

My favorite part - "A source tells E! News, "Taylor invited Tom to go. Tom always wants to please Taylor and show her that her friends matter. Taylor likes that about Tom."

842 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-06-22 05:57 ID:Heaven

843 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-06-22 06:16 ID:Heaven

>>827 He should have watched more American highschool films, the geek never becomes cool by dating highschool prom queen, that just makes him look more like a pathetic loser.

>>841 right, he went with her to Nashville, but he drew the line at the zoo, because that would look too much like he is babysitting.

844 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-06-22 06:37 ID:Heaven

There are plenty of vids at this (new for me) THEO tumblr blog (and boy the man is so stiff when he dances), has TH picked up smoking again? From this photo and a video of them walking away he looks like he is smoking.
http://theoanons.tumblr.com/image/146291245801

Coping with stress already? (I know it a drop in the ocean of everything else, but everything else is too much right now, I can't spend all day laughing)

845 Name: Anonon : 2016-06-22 06:54 ID:XS3gz/vx

>>844 It does look like he's smoking.
Most of the vids show a lot of stiffness. TS keeps dragging him towards the barrier where he's visible, he barely dances, looks nervous and withdraws into the shadows.

TH caught losing his shit having some angry words in Tay's ear:

>>830 Anonsy, it's been such fun knowing you. I do hope you change your mind and stay for the giggles.

Sadly I think the brawling was a joke. Also wouldn't Calvin absolutely knock Tom for 6 if they were fighting?

847 Name: Anon : 2016-06-22 07:04 ID:gIPGuddk

>>844 Would they be allowed to smoke indoors at a venue? I don't know anything about the law on this in Nashville (I think it wouldn't be allowed in New York).

848 Name: Anon : 2016-06-22 07:11 ID:gIPGuddk

Ok I am feeling out of my depth here. I had to google Selena Gomez (no surprise - I bought a Ray Charles CD yesterday, folks, that's how old I am). But who are the nearly bloke and the girl in the blue dress with the curly hair who seem to have been videoing themselves dancing with TS and TH in the background?

849 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-06-22 07:15 ID:Heaven

>>847 I wondered about that, maybe VIP section have different rules? Or like you said Nashville has different rules.
This is the video of them leaving and it seem TH has something in his right hand

>>845 he doesn't seem to be losing his shit, more like TH expressing a thought with more words than necessary.

851 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-06-22 07:21 ID:Heaven

>>830 big hugs to you anonsy, it's like you wasted all your time respecting someone that wasn't worth it, isn't it. And it doesn't help thinking that a few months from now it'll be all over. (let's face it, Swift isn't going to stay with a man that already looks so much older than his years when she has much younger options)

852 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-06-22 07:27 ID:Heaven

Just took a peek at CB, are they too stunned for words? Not a single mention of this, yesterday the apologists posse was out en mass after pretending to be cool with the mocking for a few days.

I have to admit I feel sorry for Luke, I bet he wishes his client were more like Redmayne. And Wimbledon is just around the corner.

853 Name: Anon : 2016-06-22 07:31 ID:gIPGuddk

>>849 I looked it up! Smoking is prohibited in all enclosed public spaces in Tennessee and has been since about 2008. There are a few exceptions like establishments which bar under 21s from entry anywhere on the premises (seems unlikely at a Selena Gomez concert), or nursing homes (insert appropriate joke here!).

I watched the videos here and on theoanons (who copied anonsy's links straight up - see, I told you a few weeks ago we had a new and well-known tumblr lurker!!)

1) the snapchats are labelled "TS and her new BF" !!!
2) he can't dance for toffee - but neither can she.
3) he doesn't appear to know the words to a single SG song.

855 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-06-22 07:37 ID:Heaven

>>853 Then they were breaking the law, because he truly looks like he is smoking and in that same photo they are drinking, wouldn't alcohol also be banned?

856 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-06-22 07:42 ID:Heaven

>>854 Their rigidity just goes along with the lack of lust and passion in those beach photos, no french kissing, no groping. Maybe they only dry-hump.

857 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-06-22 07:54 ID:Heaven

I also feel sorry for that shirt, apparently the perks of being Swift's boytoy don't extend to new clothes

858 Name: Anonon : 2016-06-22 08:10 ID:k6cAkGk5

>>856 lol
>>849 That video of them leaving clearly shows him lifting his right hand to his lips so either he keeps blowing kisses or smoke
>>850 I know that jaw jut, my bf does it too when he's really mad. Or emphatically proving a point. Whatever TH said wiped the smile off her face and made her nod a lot thats for sure.
What is fascinating about this video is that it's a closer and clearer view of the one doing the rounds in the media which they are using to gush over their pda. "Look they're kissing!" Not.
>>854 Number 3 is the only thing that redeems him. I suspect number 2 and singly loudly, proudly and off key is a bond that will unite them till the end of time.

859 Name: delurking : 2016-06-22 08:17 ID:zkZqEO6l

>>854 I noticed the THEOanons post with anonsys links but it was a submission that she just posted. You can tell from the dark writing what is her comments on the past. She didn't get the links from here but someone did. I think a few people go between this board and her blog because I sometimes see things posted there then posted a few minutes later here. Sometimes I'm trying to bring them over to share but someone beats me to it LOL.

860 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-06-22 08:20 ID:Heaven

>>858 "Tell you friend to stop filming me! I'm a serious actor you know! I was Coriolanus!" lol What could get you angry at a Selena Gomez concert? Aside from the concert itself.

861 Name: Savvy : 2016-06-22 08:28 ID:4xe9+iWP

Trust me, they will be married in a few months. He's enjoying her fame and money. Especially the money.

863 Name: delurking : 2016-06-22 08:32 ID:zkZqEO6l

>>858 I think he has a cup in his hand. She has one two. If it;s not the cup hand he brings to his mouth to drink then he is just wiping or touching his mouth because he then holds her hand so there's not going to be a cigarette in that one.

I feel like they are going to go to the tennis next week. And he won't be the one getting tickets, she will!!

864 Name: delurking : 2016-06-22 08:34 ID:zkZqEO6l

>>860 I don't think he's angry either. They left holding hands and went to a bar together later so I don't feel they had a fight.

865 Name: N8Anon : 2016-06-22 08:42 ID:YF4Sbj8X

Just catching up on this whole debacle from a sunlounger in Greece. His antics are excruciatingly embarrassing. I'm gobsmacked.

866 Name: Anonon : 2016-06-22 08:44 ID:9fqlKRzy

>>863 I forgot about alcohol!

He's meeting the Fockers now so it's inevitable she will meet the Stoners before Oz. As if he could resist finally getting front row tickets to the tennis. He must be stuggling to contain Little Hiddles in public having that A- lister (by association) access all areas pass and billing. Dream. Come. True.

867 Name: Anon : 2016-06-22 08:45 ID:gIPGuddk

>>863 It's very hard to tell, but I think he starts off with a cup in his left hand. He is doing something with his right hand (?holding a cigarette). He then switches the cup to his right hand so he can hold TS's hand with his left hand.

I guess a smoker could hold a cup and a cig in his right hand - I just think it's not likely in a no smoking venue. But hey, we still don't know who shot Kennedy so I am speculating here!

868 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-06-22 08:53 ID:Heaven

>>867 with those shovels he has for hands it would be possible to hold both. Maybe it was one of those vapor cigarettes.

869 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-06-22 08:55 ID:Heaven

>>865 What a beautiful place to be in this time of need :) A disaster of his own making, who would have thought!

He should update his twitter bio. Instead of actor, he should now write "toyboy" or "whore".

I am on holiday too, as it happens very close to where TH's mother lives. Believe me, I have my eyes peeled!

But now a confession. When I was 24 I dated a man who was 10 years older than me. I am now cringeing inwardly at what our mutual friends might have said of that relationship behind our backs. But from inside it didn't feel so weird. We worked at the same place and in the same profession (he was more senior). I only really felt the age gap when we talked about music because at the time I knew nada about anything predating 1985. He felt it too because I recall him turning pale when he was playing "Jumping Jack FLash" and I asked who it was. But overall it was great - he had a fantastic wine cellar, he drove an e-type Jag and (since I'm deep into TMI already) the sex was far and away the best I had had up till then. And I think he enjoyed having a much younger girlfriend - the pleasure of corrupting me by showing me a range of life's experiences, hehehehe.

So I kind of see the appeal. We may be laughing at the dad dancing but I bet they are both loving it for various reasons, and I bet it doesn't feel ridiculous.

I didn't marry the older guy BTW.

>>871 ooh a lovely part of the world. Have fun :-)
I totally get the benefits / attraction for both of them in this scenario. I just can't get my head around him destroying or distorting the good vibe and kudos that had built up during the recent press tour and positive reception of TNM.

>>871 But I get that, I think all women have that in their lives at some point or another, when you are a teenager you tend to prefer Uni boys, when you are at Uni you like guys who work.
The thing here is that Swift is a PR machine and her love life is part of her machine. It seems to me, from what I read about her, that she doesn't actually loves men the way you are supposed to love the opposite sex (no, I'm not suggesting she is gay), I don't see her interest for them, the wish to spend time in their universe to understand them, it's all centred on her and her world. She likes them the way you like a new accessory that fits well into your new outfit, as a means to an end, and when it's time to renovate she finds another. Which is fair because if I can see this by only reading about her history, it means it's evident.

That's why I don't feel any sympathy for TH, nor I feel sorry for the backlash. This is a guy that read the first 100 pages of a journalist's book before an interview with her. There's no way that he didn't look up Taylor Swift after the dinner at Wintour's. He walked into this with full knowledge, he walked into this knowing he was about to smooch with a girl that only 2 weeks before was chirping about her other boyfriend while probably texting with TH the whole month of May. And I bet that in the month between Met and beachsmooching he talked with his sisters and they more than likely told him it was a bad idea and he more than likely got stubborn and decided to prove them wrong (the way he got stubborn about ISTL being a film with a great script and a great director).

And ironically, this is not even making him more sexy. It's a lose-lose situation, because in the same way the PowerThatBe didn't give a shit about him being internet famous, they are not going to give a shit about him being Swift famous, they only care about box-office results and this PR campaign of a love story wont' make a shit of difference with movie-goers.

And to atone for being serious and lengthy about something that only deserves hilarity, funny things that I read in my catching up:

1) TH mentioning Branagh saying that TH's thing is that he can't turn off his brain - that's because terrible things happen when he does, as we can all see.

2) TH saying that like Pine he is a "permanent escapee from emotional entanglement" - too bad the one time he was supposed to run he didn't.

>>871 I did the 10yr age gap too. Conversation and sex out of this world, it lasted 3 mostly great years till the age gap became overwhelming and the reality of living with a much older man with a Peter Pan complex set in. He didn't really evolve at the same pace, if at all.

So long as he keeps accompanying her to her tweeny events and makes the effort to fit in with her squad (at her age your squad is everything) she'll think he's the bees knees.

>>873 He's no doubt fully aware of the consequences but so enthralled that the hottest pop star in the world dumped her bf to be with him he doesn't give a shit. For TS, the star that collects status boyfriends, she's snared the most elusive internet boyfriend who everyone fantastised would be the one to take home to their mothers and was their idea of a perfect bf. She's managed to do the impossible in a matter of week(s)- PDA for the first time in the 5yrs he's been famous. They're a power couple and a fantasy wrapped up into one neat bundle, a PR wet dream (and also the butt of everyones jokes, but who cares, everyone's talking!)

877 Name: Anonon : 2016-06-22 11:09 ID:s8KfRDy6

>>875 They have both admitted that they rapidly fall into relationships; they're fast and furious. Then the moment it becomes too emotionally demanding they run for the hills. Give it time.

>>878 There's an early interview or two where he mentions he rushes too fast into relationships and I saw one the other day where TS said the same. Can't be bothered chasing receipts sorry, maybe someone else can?

881 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-06-22 11:23 ID:Heaven

>>876 where will he finds the time to nurture his art if he spends all the time at her events? Oh! I get it! He doesn't have anything else after Thor3! ;)

You know, I don't find attractive any of her past bfs, so I can't say I envy her at all (not even her present at this point). But that's just irrelevant me.

882 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-06-22 11:25 ID:Heaven

>>880 No it's ok, I think I remembered something similar he said in 2012, as NY's resolution he said he wanted to be more balanced because he had a tendency to go full throttle about things (it was in general though, not specifically about relationship)

883 Name: Anonon : 2016-06-22 11:28 ID:Jg6IQuGp

>>881 All her boyfriends have been the hottest and most desired amongst the agegroup that is her fanbase which is no doubt why all the gay/ it's all engineered by her PR gossip has had legs. It's just so perfect (refer to the article posted in >>876)

885 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-06-22 11:48 ID:Heaven

I've just read this at the new CB post
"Taylor owns a huge crash pad in Nashville too (if memory serves, it’s an apartment decorated with an Alice in Wonderland theme)"

LOL, I can just imagine him wanting to get laid in that, this story just keep on giving.

886 Name: Anon : 2016-06-22 12:06 ID:gIPGuddk

>>876 Yes, all of this.

He has all the "dating a cute 26 year old blonde" feels that most 35-yo men would have, plus the huge boost to what increasingly seems like a fragile ego of having TS dump Calvin for him.

Plus the lifestyle bump - as I was trying to say a few days ago he isn't so rich in London rich terms. He lives the life of a one percenter, but in London earning £500k or even a million a year buys you a nice 4 bedroom house in a posh area with maybe a housekeeper who comes in 2 days a week, and pays your kids' school fees and for a couple of splashy foreign holidays a year. Nice if you can get it, but there is still a huge difference between that and being the 0.1% - living in a £30 million apartment in Knightsbridge and having a private jet and chef and all that stuff. He looks at the moment like someone who's living the dream and it must be fascinating to have a window into that lifestyle. As Anon. said, hanging out with ehr is probably fun and relaxing - another holiday romance situation.

So my take is also that he knows in his brain it smells of career suicide, ridicule, and a future full of having to dance to crap teeny music and hang out with Kendall Jenner and whatever other airheads TS has in her squad. But at the moment he is choosing not to allow his brain to make his decisions.

I am not sure how long I give it, and the absence in Australia plus defiance at being laughed at may actually prolong the relationship. However after a time the 10-year age gap and the "personal interests" gap will start to cause strain (unless he really is so shallow that his entire past life experience has failed to rub off). I also do still think that he has a sizeable streak in his personality that is monkish, spends a lot of time alone or with a very small group of friends, and isn't at all interested in material things. It is a big change from that to being with TS and her crowd 24/7.

>>886 so this is greed for wealth? Someone who so proudly talk about his humble roots and whined about being asked about his posh upbringing? Then the man was always a phony.

890 Name: Anon : 2016-06-22 12:17 ID:gIPGuddk

The gems from the E! article linked to earlier:

Taylor was hesitant to get involved so quickly after Adam but she she felt that Adam was not giving her what she wanted for some time so she was ready to move on towards the tail end of their relationship anyway.”

But when Taylor met the Thor star, “there was an immediate attraction,” says a source. “She felt like she was a little school girl with a huge crush. She loves the fact that Tom acts like such a mature man. She lives that he is older. She feels very safe and protected with him. The attraction is very strong.”

A source adds that Taylor and Tom, who were photographed kissing on the beach of Misquamicut in Watch Hill, Rhode Island just last week, “are likely gonna be an item.” The “New Romantics” singer “is not on rebound mode, even though Tom questioned it a little when they first started talking.”

“Tom wants to be with Taylor,” says the insider. The twosome are “already very attached” and “text all the time.” Plus, according to a source, “Taylor said she thinks he is the one, as odd and new as it sounds.”

I am dying (again again). Tom questioned a little that she is on the rebound? Was this in the 3 second while he was putting on the condom (please baby Jesus there was a condom..)

891 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-06-22 12:28 ID:Heaven

>>890 yeah he had doubts about it after he spent the Met Gala dancing with her while she was still in a relationship. I'm starting to think he is the one on the rebound.

892 Name: Anon : 2016-06-22 12:47 ID:gIPGuddk

>>889 That's a little harsher than I intended. I think many people, not just unduly materialistic ones, might enjoy a taste of how the other half live. I don't think that makes him or anyone else greedy for wealth. I don't think he went into the romance for that.

893 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-06-22 12:57 ID:Heaven

>>892 hmm, I don't know Anon, he was the one who acted resented at when he was asked if he had a private chef, someone who might want a piece of that world would have said something like "That would be nice". Besides he always ran in exclusive circles, Wimbledon, the polo games, horses races, fancy hotels.

Idk, maybe you are right, but to me at this point either he was always a phony, or he's relieved he doesn't have to spend his money over a relationship that won't last.

894 Name: Anon : 2016-06-22 13:10 ID:gIPGuddk

>>893 I always assumed he got those because of his fame. The organisers inviting him and a load of other stars to events, or the studio paying for his hotels.

895 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-06-22 13:25 ID:Heaven

Out of curiosity, has any of Swift's past bf ever be met by so much negative press? Somehow I doubt it. Plus, someone like Calvin Harris might have profited by their relationship because he is in charge of his work, but TH isn't, he still has to go through the process as usual.

Maybe they'll start a produce company together and Swift will buy the rights to all the films TH wants to produce/write/direct and they'll act together!

Damage control seems to have started .. http://www.people.com/article/taylor-swift-tom-hiddleston-dating-more-in-common

"Tom's a very smart, attractive guy with a fun personality," a pal of the Night Manager actor tells PEOPLE. And although "dating the most famous singer in the world feels slightly out of character" for the charismatic Brit, the pair have may more in common than meets the eye. "

897 Name: Couch Potato : 2016-06-22 14:04 ID:Heaven

>>896 indeed it has, after all he's paying big money for his PR in the US.
I love how they are admitting it's out of character (read: it contradicts everything he ever said) but they have plenty in common (read: we couldn't find a better explanation for our client behaviour). I'm surprised they didn't make a list of all the amazing things they have in common.
I loved this one " "It's a tightrope he's learning. He keeps more to himself now, though is generous with his time and attention to people." This is him keeping to himself?

It's too late for damage control now I think. I'm waiting for Luke move in the UK though, it'll be tougher over there.
