Thread to talk about the actor Tom Hiddleston
>>495 It's supposed to be spear but saying "the spear side" sounds stupid.
Where did you go in the end?
Knowing my luck, after the Intervention, hubby and TH will fall in love over the classical droning and end up re-enacting scenes on Greek pots while I sleep in a cot at the foot of the bed.
http://blindgossip.com/?p=79384#more-79384 Grain of salt, people.
>>501 It is spear. Mykonos with hops around the other islands. Your husband and TH would make a great Bl: This actor loves Greek art....
>>496 I do think right now everything E! says is coming directly straight from Taylor's publicist. They were the ones churning out articles in minutes after a TayTo pap stroll so that we'd all have a narrative accompanying the visuals.
This one cracked me up though - https://m.mic.com/articles/147208/taylor-swift-and-tom-hiddleston-are-literally-modeling-their-relationship-after-rom-coms#.v78nfIsEX
Their whole relationship is such a Disney teen movie lol
More gay rumors, Anon: http://www.crazydaysandnights.net/2016/06/blind-item-9-686.html
>>502 I've been hearing whispers of Elizabeth Olsen and Jeremy Renner about to go public soon with their relationship. It may or may not coincide with their movie premiering at upcoming film festivals. Telluride maybe but don't quote me on that. You can quote me on the relationship though lol
>>502 heh hello TH/TS/EO/CH. CH is now dating and actress I've never heard of.
Ding, says the capcha
>>505 oh wait - let me publish this again, and mention that if you missed it, read the little bon mot below the ad - that's the zinger:
http://www.crazydaysandnights.net/2016/06/blind-item-9-686.html
I was telling a friend who just discovered TH when she watched the Night Manager, that i thought he was bi. Always, from day 1. Easy to say being the theatre and with the KB rumors but I believe it. And from there it's easy to see that he's not really going as long between relationships as the public sees. And if there really is a breakup with you know who, who's minding the store during this publicity storm?
>>507 CH? I was thinking that the 'super movie' part could be Henry Cavill, but I don't know his relationship status. Is there another youngish actor that was in the Superman movies that EO could be 'hooking up' with?
>>510 It's not Jeremy Renner??? I thought those two were going to come out. If it's Henry Cavill she's seeing, that'd be pretty amazing. They'd look stunning on the red carpet together. Him being with the 19 yr old was all sorts of creepy and uncomfortable.
'It’s been a little less than two weeks since the start date of Taylor and Tom’s contract Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston’s authentic love grew on a rock in Rhode Island and since then, they have moved faster than two U-Haul lesbians on speed...
But seriously, ToTay is looking so damn fake that it almost defeats the purpose of a PR relationship. Maybe this is one big performance art piece and Taylor’s artistic commentary on how her relationships are perceived by the media. Naw, I’m giving her ass too much credit.'
>>511 i forgot she was filming the movie with Renner earlier this year. Did Cavill break up with the 19 year old already? Good. That was creepy
Just came across this article from last week and had a good laugh about it:
http://thats-normal.com/2016/06/congratulations-taylor-swift-tom-hiddlestons-publicists/
(Not sure if it's been posted already, there have been so many...)
http://its-tomlinsunshine.tumblr.com/
bodyguards saying "make space", and this is the guy who ranted about equality
>>516 Eye roll. If they wanted space they should have just taken the private tour, it's not like they can't afford it... but if they took the private tour then we wouldn't have any "adorable" fan anecdotes and instagram photos being passed around on the internet.
Side note, it's interesting that someone who saw them interact in public (peck on the lips and all) thinks that it's a PR stunt.
>>516 That sounds so romantic. Like a 5th grade field trip. snort
When they don't call paps to follow them in a private area, they go to a crowded hotspot. Gotta leave that picture trail to show how deep and beautiful their love is.
Thi sis the Wndy Williams video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=835&v=fqDn8cK7OBc
Look at the faces of the audience, this is not bringing him any love in the US
>>518 I'm glad that they couldn't call the paps (it'd be impossible in the Colosseum unless like anonsy says it's a private tour, I'm sure there'll be a papstroll tomorrow) because this way we got photos of TH's where he's not in paps-mode.
>>520 His pap mode seems to be slipping too from the looks of those last beach pics. He looked like he couldn't even be bothered to muster up joy or some contentment on his face.
It seems so arrogant that while his country struggles with Brexit, he's parading his lavish lifestyle with Taylor even more. Don't think that's adding to his appeal for the Hiddlestoners exiting in big numbers.
>>521 Comment on DM article (which featured the phone pics): "looks like Tom Hiddleston will be the third British exit in a week" (we bombed out of the European Cup last night).
Looking a lot less miserable:
>>523 Am I being too tinfoil hatty if I note that these pics look to be of much better quality than the other candids taken yesterday?
>>524 My first thought was AH! There are the pap photos...
>>525 Yes. I don't think anyone got that close - so they are paps with good zoom lenses.
Also these http://oursong.tumblr.com/post/146594791149
>>527 Last night's dinner?
If you want to be really tinfoil hatty she has what looks like a glass of juice. And San Pellegrino in the wine cooler.
>>523 Hahahah! Full blown pap shots! I knew those were on the way. They really have the timing down to a science for their pap releases. They couldn't leave the narrative up to the civilians and their social media snaps.
Lord, they really are reenacting their own Nicholas Sparks movie.
>>528 Not sure but I'd guess so, and interesting.
Though honestly my tin foil hat is still stuck wondering how the ragmags knew the first day they were in the UK that it would only be for 24/48 hours or so.
I might have to craft a second hat to perch on the first >.<
Those Colosseum pap shots literally look like an engagement photoshoot. I'm really beginning to believe that Taylor goes through all her pap shots and OKs which ones she wants going live.
>>523 It's incredible that they managed to make a 'passionate spontaneous kiss' look like an forced airlock between a frail old man and a needy ironing board.
http://www.tmz.com/2016/06/28/calvin-harris-taylor-swift-tom-hiddleston-parents/
'Calvin Harris thinks it's "f****** laughable" that Taylor Swift has already met Tom Hiddleston's mother ... considering she NEVER met Calvin's parents during their 15-month relationship.'
Hello lovely sane people. Back from Greece and I just have to say, I AM SO OVER THIS ENTIRE SHIT SHOW! Seriously, WTAF is going on??! Yes the relationship may be real and in some photos they look genuinely happy and in love, but please, for the love of God, give it a rest with the publicity. With their money and connections they could be having a lovely romantic time away from the public eye. He's being made a laughing stock. So not good. What a knob.
I've noticed on Swifty blogs that whenever these pap shots come out of TayTo, they are always quoting one of her songs and the lyrics seem to fit pretty well. Almost like a music video. Which makes me wonder if TayTo have built their world tour around her albums? This whole thing is TAYlored to appeal to her fanbase.
That would be insane. Then again so is this performance. Sorry with each new pap stroll, I still get appalled that they're being this transparent and expecting us to believe it's all organic.
>>533 that's because he is (compared to her) an old man and she is a needy ironing board.
>>534 Damn...harsh. Her own jet and "it's too far away"? And now this world tour. That's definitely gotta hurt.
>>535 Welcome back!!
Yes, she totally could have done the holiday she did with CH when, IIRC, the only shots released were her own from Instagram.
>>540 Yep, exactly. It's so over engineered, I just can't work out what it is all about. I managed to take pictures at Ancient Corinth without getting papped once!
BTW my captcha just now was VOW - maybe a wedding is on the way after all!
These pictures are so confusing! I used to think it might be interesting to kiss TH, but these pecks with sunglasses on make it like a lot work! And a hand kiss is quite romantic,p in general, I think they can be passionate and gallant if done correctly, however, I would be into these brunch pics if they were sitting leg to leg, or hip to hip, with warmer body language. Where is the warmth and the heat? The pap pics are definitely to try to drive the narrative. What is the purpose of this? Does anyone know? And keeping the water in the wine cooler is the best way to keep it cool in the summer. That makes sense. And it was reported that TS had about five cocktails while out at Adeles in Nashville, so I'm hopping that she wouldn't do that if she was expecting.
>>527 She is dressed differently so I'd say they are from today's breakfast.
>>530 I think because this holiday has been planned. Or do we believe that they are deciding where to go the night before going?
>>533,538 and this you both said is not even shade, but a mere description.
>>535 Welcome back! The funny thing is that it looks bad as a PR show, but it looks even worse as a real thing. If it's both it looks awful. There's no way of spinning this positively.
If they plan to visit other Italian cities, I hope TS is prepared to walk, because most city centres are pedestrian areas or somewhat close to traffic. She won't be able to go around in SUV.
Anon those were definitely papshots, torilla has the HQ
http://tw.weibo.com/torilla/3991379909165632
>>543 Planned, exactly. For being a "private" affair it very much sounds like their itinerary is known, which is strange at least to me. Or tinfoiling means that paps know where they're going to be well in advance, so the sources are sharing more than just "taylor says she loves him" sort of things.
>>543 Couch, I'm genuinely bewildered by the whole thing. Also quite cross with myself that I even care. (Not in a jealous type way but in a why would you ruin your good reputation like this kind of way.)
>>546 it's strange for an actual relationship, more it's alien for a real relationship. For a press tour or role campaign or similar, not really.
>>547 I feel you, I don't see TH's profile rising because of this, the good that came from his press tour in the US it's garbage now, the reputation he built in the UK it's garbage now. Yes, his career will go on but no in a better way that it was before. Plus, he won't be able to go back to the way it was with the press. Maybe if they had disappeared after RI, but this is really a circus.
>>543 It's definitely a holiday but why do they feel the need to overexpose themselves on it? The idea of putting their whole vacation up for everyone's viewing pleasure is tacky and thirsty. The only way this could get any worse is if they shared it live in real time via Periscope. Or created their own snapchat sorry with their own filter - ~~* TayTo Tour || Summer 2016 ~~*
>>549 Yes, my exact feelings too. Nothing would surprise me now for what happens next. He's totally love blind I think.
Oh look HQ pap shots. They still managed to leave Stanstead and arrive in Rome without a single papshot though. Odd that, if the stans' narrative is correct and the paps are following them everywhere because every single photo is worth $$$.

The uncropped version tells a different story.
You can't tell me that any couple, famous or not, would choose the only open space in the area rather than dry humping up against that high wall shielded from the public.
So candid, so spontaneous, so in love.
So where next, guys? My guess is that TayTay will have had enough culchah fairly soon and that they will return to the UK for Wimbledon and so he can show her his hood.
>>554 It also tells me the close up shots of that moment are pap shots. Good quality from that distance.
>>554 I thought that too. So convenient that they are standing by the only gap in a massive wall, so that the paps can get a clear shot.
>>555 Florence/Venice/Milan, or a combination of these? Then London and then back to RI for the 4th of July celebration (I don't believe for a moment that TH will be in OZ on the 4th)
>>554 it's like the scene of a cheap romcom.
>>558 I expect so. Maybe chuck in a quick trip over to somewhere chi chi like Capri to get engaged.
>>560 I've been to Capri in August and my god it was crowded. Opportunities for more "intimate" moments.
I don't at all think he will be in Australia on 4 July. And I bet he should have been but has tried to get his people to move his start date. Idiot.
Weird. Very few people at the Colosseum in full touristic season.

>>562 it depends on the moment - I visited last year in a quiet moment, when I left the queue to enter was long - it's also a big place. And I suspect someone, Totay, asked for personal space, there was an Italian security person walking with them in one of the photos.
>>562 Is it just me, or are the people in the far right, kind of hiding in between pillars, holding big cameras?
>>564 you're right
>>565 Or have I just totally lost the plot?! This thing is like a car crash, I don't want to keep looking but I can't stop myself.
>>561 Uh huh, I wouldn't be surprised. Unless his role is significantly smaller in this film and he isn't required for start of PP.
>>519 Wendy's always got it out for TS's man-hopping, though. Nothing but criticism over the years. That she's never heard of Tom means she won't make a dent in his US reception.
The rooftop shots of TH/TS are looking really romantic today. Finally, some natural behavior?
>>569 the ones at the colosseum? Or the ones at the restaurant where he has finally put his phone down and is kissing her hand?
>>554 Anonon to see that IG pic I just followed that account...
>>572 Except, where's the deep tongue kiss? And I wonder if they're in the same or separate rooms ?
All very 'tomly' says my capcha.
New pics. Taking a tour I'm guessing http://oursong.tumblr.com/post/146603556409/taylor-and-tom-leaving-rome-by-helicopter-after-a
The Roman Holiday continues. They made sure DM used the right pictures this time lol http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-3664074/Tom-Hiddleston-Taylor-Swift-prove-inseparable-lock-hands-matching-outfits-romantic-stroll-Rome.html
>>575 I wonder why he insists on keeping his eyeglass on his shirt or in his hand instead of giving them to her. What does she have a purse for?
>>575 I feel emasculated looking at these photos and I don't even have any man parts. She must be paying for all this, right? The fancy helicopter ride and the whole shebang. while he stands there in a pair of Vans that should quite frankly have hit the bin a long time ago.
>>577 hahaha indeed, but look at him, behaving like he's in control - Poor Olly took the few garments left at home a brought them to him, but he couldn't do miracles.
>>575 The chavette and her bitch face uncle trying to blue steel.
The bodyguard is hot.
>>577 It's embarrassing. I don't see how anyone can be envious of them or find them desireable as a couple. The only thing I'm envious of is their ability to vacation wherever they want at the drop of a hat in that jet of hers.
He's never going to live this down. Unless some strange miracle catapults his career back into the respected area it was in originally.
No ring on Taylor's right hand anymore in these new pics in the DM.
His worth shot up from $8 million to $20 million since this romance started. So even if his reputation is getting trashed, his value is going up. If his aim is to up his visibility in between now and Kong to prove he has leading man/ BO value then this stunt might just work. Serious actor? Not anymore I guess.
>>581 She's got that mouth-glued-shut-behind-sunglasses face. Dickmatized? Or growing bored?
Oh capcha, 'be' is not helpful.
>>582 Where is that figure from? Is it "worth" in the sense of marketability? That doesn't translate into cash in the pocket - or not yet, and I will be interested to see what the next project after Thor 3 is.
More petrol station pics and in the top photo I think you can actually see the outline of the lid of the cigarette packet. http://quoting-shakespeare-to-ducks.tumblr.com/post/146614222236/for-tom-those-are-some-swole-ass-pecs
And yet we still have not seen him light up once, notwithstanding they are followed by paps everywhere. He really can control the image that gets out there.
>>584 I'm not sure. I always thought it was in terms of projected/ estimated annual income. It used to say $8 mil on here and just overnight it changed to $20 mil so maybe it's a combined estimation of this year's earnings (as both actor, producer, plus endorsements, lotta product placement going on in this TayTo Summer of Love 2016 tour) http://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-celebrities/actors/tom-hiddleston-net-worth/
People exclusive about how much Tom's mom LOVES Taylor. What's the ETA on this proposal in Paris now lol
http://www.people.com/people/mobile/article/0,,21015460,00.html
I don't think I've seen a couple, a supposed power couple at that, get mocked this much in the media. Even the tabloids they are giving exclusives to find a way to slip some snark or jab in there. This one is hilarious http://www.papermag.com/taylor-swift-tom-hiddleston-pr-mance-1888497069.html
>>586 "Tom's mom is just gushing about Taylor," a Hiddleston family source tells PEOPLE exclusively. "She thinks Taylor is the loveliest. She was so happy to meet her."
-A family source? Now the Hiddlestons have a source?
"Taylor was almost immediately part of the family,"
-Almost immediately? LOL
I noticed we get plenty of leaks about how she feels, but none about him.
>>590 He does look very sweet in the pics where he's kissing her hand, though.
>>585 I can't keep up! There's like 70+ new messages overtime I check back in! I have baby brain - take pity on me.
Are we done with Rome? Are people still laughing at them? Does TH have ANY more fans left?
>>590 'The couple have proved that they are serious about their relationship.' That's the intention but ain't no one buying what they're selling.
TMZ seems to have CH on speed dial/ be his mouthpiece. They also gave us the infamous 'America's Sweetheart - my ass!'
I just don't know how they're getting to know each other. When they're out - which seems so often - they're surrounded by 2-3 bodyguards at all times!. That doesn't allow for conversations, for flirting, for sexy talk. Sexy talk - you know how good that is! It's essentially foreplay. Sexy talk while walking the streets of Rome? Not in front of the hired help. Sexy talk in the helicopter (loud sexy talk it would need to be)? Not in front of the 3 bodyguards. Maybe they're attached at the palms because that's the only way they can be affectionate.
I can tell you this, these two aren't going to replicate the 'quality time' I and the Italian had with the remains of the Claudian aqueduct. Not with 3 bodyguards 25 feet away.
And where's Lex? I thought for certain this would rouse the beast. They may have had to put her into a medically induced coma - the plan being to bring her out post-TayTo.
>>587 That article has now been scrubbed from the internet.
Forget tinfoil hats, my entire body is wrapped in the stuff at this point.
>>594 "forget tinfoil hats, my entire body is now wrapped in the stuff" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
>>593 The almost total lack of alone time will prolong the relationship though. He will be sorting through the contents of her brain for months before he finds that all it contains is Instagram, cats and Gigi Hadid. She, meanwhile, will spend months listening to his guitar playing and it will take her ages to realise that he only has 3 Hank Williams songs in his repertoire because he won't ever get to the end of a song before the bodyguards come in.
Thinking of guitar playing - I mock TS for having the mental acuity, emotional maturity and leisure interests of a not very mature 15 year-old - but she is a talented guitarist and lyricist. If she ever grows up emotionally she could be the next Allison Krauss (who, by the way, has won more Grammys than any other singer or female artist - suck on that, TayTay).
What on earth does TS think of our hero's guitar playing? Has he even tried? Does she inwardly cringe and whimper as we did when we watched all those interviews where he tortured people with his singing and strumming? Has she explained that really good guitar players like her don't take their guitars everywhere they go? Why isn't People Mag telling us the answers to these very important questions?
>>593 PS [whispers] I don't think Lex is very far away.
>>589 made funnier by the thought (or sad reality) that Taylor probably is that controlling about her pap pics. I genuinely think she goes through them and selects the most perfect picturesque ones to be sent out. Only the most staged and perfectly orchestrated.
>>594 No surprise. Taylor Swift isn't exactly known for her sense of humor. I'm sure her team was on it as soon as it came to their attention. But hurray for copy paste and the beauty of sharing through social media http://theopiniondominion.tumblr.com/post/146622064350/paper-mag-article-text
In case others didn't get a chance to read.
>>593 I'm actually loving how Calvin won't sit quiet or just disappear. He keeps poking with a stick, providing conflict to this week's episode of Edgemont High.
Sexy? Taylor Swift does not do sexy. She does romantic and whimsical and whatever the definition of a sappy romance is. Honestly, the pap shots all look like background images and art for one of her newly released albums.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BHNuxFrAark/ Still in Rome apparently. And with no bodyguards or paps in sight in sight! Could it be?
